Efficiency, Productivity and Cost Reduction Initiatives
Current report
On August 7, 2025, we announced that we are in the process of implementing initiatives that are expected to drive approximately $50 million in annual cash cost savings following implementation through the efficiency, productivity and overhead cost reduction actions associated with our fleet modernization plan and other actions over the next several quarters. We anticipate that we will realize a portion of the expected savings on a rolling basis as actions are taken, with the full impact of the anticipated cost savings expected to be reflected in our financial results beginning in the third and fourth quarters of 2026 relative to a second quarter of 2025 baseline.

Results of Operations
Current report
The decrease in Membership revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in members year-over-year due largely to streamlining our membership offering and shifting less frequent fliers to our charter offerings.
Current report
The decrease in Flight revenue was primarily driven by an $11.3 million reduction attributable to a 7% decrease in Live Flight Legs year-over-year, which was partially offset by a $5.9 million increase attributable to a 4% increase in Flight revenue per Live Flight Leg as a result of a greater mix of flights on larger and premium cabins generally associated with higher hourly rates.
Current report
The increase in Other revenue was primarily attributable to higher revenue from cargo flights and safety and security services.
Current report
Technology and development expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 11%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to a $0.9 million decrease in enterprise software spend and other IT-related spend as a result of cost optimization actions.
Current report
Sales and marketing expenses increased by $2.9 million, or 14%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to a $1.4 million increase in employee compensation and allocable costs due to increased headcount and a $1.9 million increase in advertising, media and marketing events-related spend. The increase was partially offset by a $0.5 million decrease in spend on marketing flights and partnership-related expenses.
Current report
General and administrative expenses decreased by $5.7 million, or 16%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily driven by a $5.2 million decrease in equity-based compensation expense related to the Executive Performance Awards (as defined in Note 9), which was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in legal expenses related to ongoing litigation matters.
Current report
Depreciation and amortization expenses decreased $2.1 million, or 13%, for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily attributable to full amortization of historical capitalized software projects and a reduction in capitalized IT costs in recent periods.
Current report
Results of Operations for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Current report
The decrease in Other revenue was primarily attributable to a $1.2 million decrease in sales of inventory aircraft, as we have reduced our focus on whole aircraft sales after the first quarter of 2024.
Current report
Cost of revenue decreased by $57.6 million, or 15%, for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. In addition to the general decrease attributable to the decrease in Flight and Other revenue noted above, the decrease in Cost of revenue was primarily driven by the impact of reduced headcount, including a $27.4 million reduction in employee compensation and allocable costs, inclusive of the absence of $3.7 million in restructuring charges associated with certain actions taken during the second quarter of 2024, a $7.5 million decrease in aircraft lease costs, a $3.7 million decrease in pilot travel costs and a $3.6 million decrease in charges related to the reserve for certain parts inventory deemed obsolete or in excess of forecasted demand for aircraft maintenance. The decrease was also driven by the absence of $3.5 million of FAA certificate consolidation-related expenses and $1.9 million of expenses associated with setting up our Atlanta Member Operations Center in the prior year period. The decreases were partially offset by a $10.8 million increase in expenses related to executing our fleet modernization strategy, which primarily includes expenses associated with adding Embraer Phenom 300 series and Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft to our operations and related pilot training programs, as well as certain costs incurred associated with exiting legacy private jet models.

We define Active Users as the unique non-member customers who completed a revenue generating flight at least once in the applicable period, excluding wholesale flight activity, plus all members as of the end of the applicable period. While a unique member or non-member customer can complete multiple revenue generating flights on our platform in a given period, that unique member or non-member customer is counted as only one Active User. We use Active Users to assess the adoption of our platform and frequency of transactions, which are key factors in our penetration of the market in which we operate and our ability to generate revenue.

Historically, a portion of the initiation fee is applied to annual dues; however, we discontinued initiation fees starting in July 2024. The remainder of the initiation fee, less any flight credits, is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated duration of the member relationship period, which is estimated to be three years. Members are charged recurring annual dues to maintain their membership. Revenue related to the annual dues is deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the related contractual period. If a member qualifies to earn Delta miles in the Delta SkyMiles® Program as part of their membership, then a portion of the membership fee is allocated at contract inception.

Previous report
As of March 31, 2025, the Revolving Equipment Notes were secured by first-priority liens on 94 of the Company’s owned aircraft and in the future will be secured by first-priority liens on any additional aircraft for which a Revolving Equipment Note is issued from time to time (collectively, the “Revolving Equipment Notes Collateral”). WUP LLC’s obligations under the Revolving Equipment Notes are guaranteed by the Company, Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, our direct subsidiary, and WUPJ, which has a FAA Part 135 operating certificate. In the future, WUP LLC must cause certain additional subsidiaries and affiliates of WUP LLC that hold a FAA Part 135 operating certificate to become a guarantor under the Revolving Equipment Note Facility under certain circumstances. The 2024 Note Purchase Agreement, Trust Indenture and Mortgage entered into by WUP LLC and Wilmington Trust, as the mortgagee thereunder, on the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date, pursuant to which the Revolving Equipment Notes were issued, and related guarantees contain certain covenants and events of default that are customary for transactions of this type.

Previous wording
In October 2024, we announced our current fleet modernization strategy, which we expect will result in the transition from the operation of four current private jet models — Cessna Citation CJ3, X, and Excel/XLS and Hawker 400XP aircraft — to two different private jet models — Embraer Phenom 300 series and Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft, while continuing to operate our King Air 350i aircraft. We began operating Embraer Phenom 300 series aircraft in our fleet in November 2024 and completed the transition of all such aircraft to the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) operating certificate held by Wheels Up Private Jets LLC (“WUPJ”) in April 2025. We acquired three Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft during the three months ended March 31, 2025, began transitioning such aircraft to the WUPJ FAA operating certificate in March 2025 and began operating such aircraft in our fleet in April 2025.
Current wording
We have made substantial progress to advance our fleet modernization strategy, which we expect will result in the transition from the operation of four legacy private jet models — Cessna Citation CJ3, X, and Excel/XLS and Hawker 400XP aircraft — to two different private jet models — Embraer Phenom 300 series and Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft, while continuing to operate our King Air 350i aircraft. We began operating Embraer Phenom 300 series aircraft in our fleet in November 2024 and completed the transition of all such aircraft to our U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) operating certificate in April 2025. We acquired our first three Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft during the first quarter of 2025 and began operating those aircraft in our fleet in April 2025. We expect to add up to three additional Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft to our controlled aircraft fleet during the third quarter of 2025.
Previous wording
To achieve our fleet transition, we expect to engage in strategic acquisitions and dispositions of aircraft, as well as enter into leasing arrangements to replenish our fleet while maintaining high levels of member and customer service. For example, in the first quarter of 2025, we sold our fleet of owned Cessna Citation X aircraft to an unrelated third-party buyer, entered into leases for a portion of the sold aircraft and amended existing Cessna Citation X leases with the same buyer. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents and available borrowings under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility (as defined below), as well as the execution of strategic transactions in the future, will provide us with flexibility to opportunistically transform our controlled aircraft fleet to achieve our fleet modernization strategy.

To achieve our fleet transition, we expect to engage in strategic acquisitions, dispositions and leases of aircraft as we continue the orderly divestiture of legacy private jet models and scale our Embraer Phenom 300 series and Bombardier Challenger 300 series fleets. In the first quarter of 2025, we sold our fleet of owned Cessna Citation X aircraft to an unrelated third-party buyer, entered into leases for a portion of the sold aircraft and amended existing Cessna Citation X leases with the same buyer. In the second quarter of 2025, we retired our legacy Cessna Citation CJ3 fleet from revenue service and expect to return our last leased aircraft of that model to the lessor by the end of 2025. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, available borrowings under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility (as defined below) and the execution of strategic transactions in the future will provide us the flexibility to opportunistically transform our controlled aircraft fleet to achieve our fleet modernization strategy.

Completion Rate and On-Time Performance (D-60) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 reported in the table above includes wholesale flights, which were previously excluded from such metrics in the Company’s filings with the SEC beginning with the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024 through and including our Annual Report. Completion Rate and On-Time Performance (D-60) reported in the Company’s previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2024, which excluded wholesale flight activity, were 99% and 87%, respectively.

Cost of revenue decreased by $39.8 million, or 20%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cost of revenue was primarily driven by the impact of reduced headcount, including a $14.4 million decrease in employee compensation and allocable costs, $2.6 million reduction in travel expense and $0.7 million reduction in equity-based compensation expense. The decrease was also driven by the decrease in Flight and Other revenue. The decrease also reflects the absence of $1.4 million of expenses associated with setting up our Atlanta Member Operations Center, as well $1.0 million of expenses associated with our FAA certificate consolidation. The decreases were partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in expenses related to executing our fleet modernization strategy first announced in October 2024, which primarily includes expenses associated with transitioning the Embraer Phenom 300 series and Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft to our operations and pilot training programs aligned to our fleet modernization strategy.

The decrease was also driven by the absence of $2.4 million of FAA certificate consolidation-related expenses and $0.5 million of expenses associated with setting up our Atlanta Member Operations Center incurred in the second quarter of 2024. The decreases were partially offset by a $7.7 million increase in expenses related to executing our fleet modernization strategy, which primarily included expenses associated with adding Embraer Phenom 300 series and Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft to our operations and related pilot training programs, as well as certain costs incurred associated with exiting legacy private jet models.

In addition, the $10.0 million Share Repurchase Program gives management the discretion to purchase shares of Common Stock from time to time, and any open order or executory contract to acquire shares of Common Stock in the future would constitute a cash contractual commitment by the Company to the extent it is not cancelled prior to trade execution.
Previous wording
To execute our fleet modernization strategy, we will need to, among other things, strategically acquire aircraft, whether by purchasing aircraft, entering into aircraft leases with third parties or acquiring the businesses of other private aviation operators, sell current owned aircraft and return certain current leased aircraft. This strategy is expected to be capital intensive and will require significant internal and external resources to achieve. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we expect that we will fund any obligations or commitments in connection with our fleet modernization strategy using cash and cash equivalents on hand, including cash received in connection with any sales of our owned aircraft, operating cash flows and amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility. In the future, we may also seek to fund our fleet modernization strategy with proceeds from additional financing or refinancing transactions, such as new debt or equity financings, asset sales or other strategic transactions. See “Our Fleet Modernization Strategy” above and the caption titled “We may be unable to execute our fleet modernization strategy on the timeline that we currently anticipate or may fail to realize the expected benefits from such strategy, which may adversely impact our business, prospects, operations, results of operations and financial condition” in Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report for more information about our fleet modernization strategy.
