New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public business entities to disclose in their rate reconciliation table additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes and to provide more details about the reconciling items in some categories if the items meet a quantitative threshold. The guidance also requires all entities to disclose annually income taxes paid (net of refunds received) disaggregated by federal (national), state and foreign taxes and to disaggregate the information by jurisdiction based on a quantitative threshold. For public business entities, the guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after 15 December 2024. The Company expects the adoption to have a disclosure only impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires public entities to disclose specified information about certain costs and expenses.

The Company expects the adoption to have a disclosure only impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Fair Value Measurements

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair values. Fair value represents the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The authoritative guidance on fair value measurements establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurements as follows:

Level 1 - Inputs are unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date;

Level 2 - Inputs are observable, unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities, unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities; and

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the assets or liabilities that are supported by little or no market data.

A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability.

The Company’s financial assets consist of Level 1 and 2 assets. The Company classifies its cash equivalents and marketable debt securities within Level 1 or Level 2 because they are valued using either quoted market prices or inputs other than quoted prices which are directly or indirectly observable in the market, including readily-available pricing sources for the identical underlying security which may not be actively traded. The Company’s fixed income available-for-sale securities consist of high quality, investment grade securities from diverse issuers. The valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of the Company’s marketable debt securities were derived from non-binding market consensus prices that are corroborated by observable market data and quoted market prices for similar instruments.

The Company’s financial liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 liabilities. The Company’s Public Warrants (as defined in Note 6) are classified as Level 1 because they are directly observable in the market. The Company classifies the Private Placement Warrants (as defined in Note 6) within Level 2, because they were valued using inputs other than quoted prices which are directly observable in the market, including readily available pricing for the Company’s Public Warrants. The Company classifies Delta Warrant and Earnout Shares Liability (as defined in Note 6) within Level 3, because they were valued using unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value measurement. The Delta Warrant and Earnout Shares Liability are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Changes in fair value of Level 3 liabilities are recorded in total other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following tables set forth the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Note 5. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingencies

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $11.8 million of unconditional purchase obligations with remaining terms in excess of one year. These obligations primarily relate to the Company’s purchase agreements for certain aircraft parts through 2028.

The Company is subject to claims and assessments from time to time in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for litigation and contingencies are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements based on management’s assessment, including the advice of legal counsel, of the expected outcome of litigation or other dispute resolution proceedings and/or the expected resolution of contingencies. Liabilities for estimated losses are accrued if the potential losses from any claims or legal proceedings are considered probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment is required in both the determination of probability of loss and the determination as to whether the amount can be reasonably estimated. Accruals are based only on information available at the time of the assessment due to the uncertain nature of such matters. As additional information becomes available, management reassesses potential liabilities related to pending claims and litigation and may revise its previous estimates, which could materially affect the Company’s condensed consolidated results of operations in a given period. As of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company was not involved in any material legal proceedings.

Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into contracts and agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnifications. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but that have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations.

The Company has indemnified its Board of Directors and officers, to the extent legally permissible, against all liabilities reasonably incurred in connection with any action in which such individual may be involved by reason of such individual being or having been a director or officer, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of the individual. The Company currently has directors’ and officers’ insurance. The Company believes the estimated fair value of these obligations is minimal. The Company did not record any liabilities in connection with these possible obligations as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Note 6. Stock Warrants and Earnout Shares

Private Placement and Public Warrants

In connection with the Merger, each of the 17,250,000 publicly-traded warrants (“Public Warrants”) and 11,533,333 private placement warrants (“Private Placement Warrants” and, together with the Public Warrants, the “Common Stock Warrants”) issued to Reinvent Sponsor, LLC (the “Sponsor”) in connection with RTP’s initial public offering and subsequent overallotment were converted into an equal number of warrants that entitle the holder to purchaseone share of the Company’s Common stock, par value $0.0001 (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustments, and will expire five years after the completion of the Merger or earlier upon redemption or the Company’s liquidation. Once the Common Stock Warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Common Stock Warrants subject to certain Common Stock price and other conditions as defined in the Warrant Agreement between RTP and Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Warrant Agreement”) and the Sponsor Agreement by and among the Company, Sponsor and RTP (“Sponsor Agreement”). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, no Common Stock Warrants were exercised.

The Private Placement Warrants were initially recognized as a liability on August 10, 2021, at a fair value of $21.9 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Private Placement Warrant liability was remeasured to fair value as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, resulting in gain of $9.1 million and a gain of $5.1 million, respectively, which is included within the gain (loss) from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Public Warrants were initially recognized as a liability on August 10, 2021 at a fair value of $32.8 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the public warrant liability was remeasured to fair value based upon the market price as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, resulting in a gain of $13.6 million and a gain of $7.6 million, respectively, which is included within the gain from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Earnout Shares Liability

In connection with the Reverse Recapitalization and pursuant to the Sponsor Agreement, Sponsor agreed to certain terms of vesting, lock-up and transfer with respect to the 17,130,000 common shares held by it (“Earnout Shares”). The terms of the Sponsor Agreement specify that the Earnout Shares will vest upon achieving certain specified release events. In accordance with ASC 815 Derivatives and Hedging, the Earnout Shares are not indexed to the Common Stock and therefore are accounted for as a liability (“Earnout Shares Liability”) as of the Closing Date and subsequently remeasured at each reporting date with changes in fair value recorded as a component of total other income (loss), net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Under the vesting schedule,20% of the Earnout Shares vest in tranches when the volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock quoted on the NYSE is greater than $12.00, $18.00, $24.00, $32.00 and $50.00 for any 20 trading days within a period of 30 trading days (each such occurrence a “Triggering Event”). Afterten years following the consummation of the Merger (the “Earnout Period”), any Earnout Shares which have not yet vested are forfeited. No Earnout Shares had vested as of March 31, 2025.

Earnout Shares Liability at the closing of the Merger on August 10, 2021, was $149.9 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using a distribution of potential outcomes on a monthly basis over the Earnout Period using the most reliable information available.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company recognized a gain related to the change in the fair value of the Earnout Shares Liability of $36.8 million and a gain of $23.0 million, respectively, included within the gain from change in fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Assumptions used in the valuation are as follows:

Expected volatility75.50%74.80%
Risk-free interest rate4.05%4.46%
Dividend rate0.00%0.00%
Expected term (in years)6.366.61

Delta Warrant

In connection with the umbrella agreement that the Company entered with Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) on October 7, 2022, the Company sold and issued to Delta, in a private placement,11,044,232 shares of the Company’s Common Stock, at the per-share purchase price of $5.4327, for an aggregate cash consideration of $60.0 million. In addition, the Company issued a warrant for Delta to purchase up to 12,833,333 shares of the Company’s common stock intwo tranches, subject to certain milestone achievement conditions (“Delta Warrant”).

The first and the second tranches of the warrant permit Delta to purchase up to 7,000,000 and 5,833,333 shares of Common Stock at exercise prices of $10 and $12, respectively, starting from the date the applicable milestones are satisfied and ending on theten year anniversary of the warrant issuance date. The number of shares and exercise price for both tranches is subject to value cap adjustment if the 30 day volume weighted average price per share of the Company’s stock exceeds 150% of each respective tranche’s exercise price, but disregarding any price increases occurring within 10 business days after a public announcement of the achievement of an applicable milestone, if any.

The Company concluded that no assets or liabilities were transferred by either party beyond the Company’s issuance of common stock and warrants in exchange for the total cash consideration from Delta, that the umbrella agreement does not constitute a funded research and development agreement in the scope of ASC 730 Research and Development or a collaborative agreement in the scope of ASC 808 Collaborative Agreements, and that the Delta Warrant is a freestanding financial instrument not indexed to the Company’s own stock. Accordingly, the Company recognized the issuance of Common Stock as equity in additional paid-in capital on condensed consolidated balance sheets and the Delta Warrant as liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value.

The Delta Warrant issuance was initially recognized as a liability on October 7, 2022, at a fair value of $16.1 million based on a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model using the most reliable information available. The Delta Warrant’s liability was remeasured to fair value as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, resulting in a gain of $11.4 million and a gain of $3.2 million, respectively, which is included within the gain from change in the fair value of warrants and earnout shares in the condensed consolidated statements of operations

Assumptions used in the valuation of Delta Warrants are as follows:

March 31, 2025December 31, 2024
Expected volatility75.50%74.80%
Risk-free interest rate4.11%4.51%
Dividend rate—%—%

Note 7. Stock-based Compensation

Equity Compensation Plans

In November 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors adopted the 2016 Stock Option and Grant Plan (“2016 Plan”) under which officers, employees, directors, consultants and other key persons of the Company or its affiliates may be granted incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units. On August 10, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors amended the 2016 Plan to provide that no new awards could be granted under the 2016 Plan.

Under the 2016 Plan, stock options were generally granted with an exercise price equal to the estimated fair value of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of grant. Options generally have contractual terms often years.

Outstanding options generally vest oversix years, contain aone year cliff, are exercisable immediately and, upon early exercise, are subject to repurchase by the Company at the original exercise price. If an incentive stock option (“ISO”) is granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns more than 10% of the voting power of all classes of capital stock, the term of the ISO isfive years. Options issued under the 2016 Plan must be priced at no less than the fair value of the shares on the date of the grant provided, however, that the exercise price of an option granted to a 10% stockholder is not less than 110% of the fair value of the shares on the date of grant. The Board of Directors determines the exercisability provisions of a stock option agreement at its sole discretion.

The fair value of the RSU’s granted under the 2016 Plan was determined by the Company’s Board of Directors on the date of grant. Generally, RSUs granted under the 2016 Plan have asix year vesting period.

On August 10, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”). Under the 2021 Plan, the Company can grant incentive stock options, nonstatutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance awards to employees, directors and consultants. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2021 Plan will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning on January 1, 2022, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) a number of shares equal tofour percent (4%) of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock of the Company outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such number of shares determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. The fair value of the RSU’s granted under the 2021 Plan was determined on the date of grant. Generally, RSUs granted under the 2021 Plan have afour year vesting period. On January 1, 2025, the number of shares available for issuance under 2021 plan increased by 31,367,055 shares.

The total fair value of RSUs vested for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $24.5 million and $37.9 million, respectively.

On February 27, 2023, the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (“Compensation Committee”) approved a performance-based bonus program under which RSUs were awarded in connection with the achievement of specified goals in 2023 (“2023 Bonus Plan”). The RSU awards were granted when the achievement of each goal was approved by the Compensation Committee in 2023, and the RSUs vested in equal installments in each of January, February, March and April 2024 provided the employee or consultant continued to be a service provider through the relevant vesting dates. The target bonus opportunity was equal to 30% of the employee’s base salary as of the applicable grant date, with stretch bonus goals that are one-third higher than the target amounts unless otherwise established by the Compensation Committee. In accordance with ASC 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation, awards under 2023 Bonus

The maximum possible amount that will vest is 125%. If exactly the minimum or target levels are achieved,45% and 100% of the awards, respectively, will vest. The RSUs awarded under the 2024 Bonus Plan vested in equal installments on each of January 14, 2025, February 10, 2025, March 4, 2025 and April 7, 2025.

The LTI Awards vest in a single installment on June 21, 2026, provided that (i) certain performance conditions are met on or prior to that date and (ii) the employee continues to be a service provider through the vesting date. The Company considers the probability of achieving each of the performance goals at the end of each reporting period and recognizes expense over the requisite service period when achievement of the goal is determined to be probable, and adjusts the expense if the probability of achieving the goal later changes.

On February 12, 2024, the Compensation Committee approved a long-term performance-based RSU awards (“LPA Awards”) to certain employees of the Company.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

On August 10, 2021, the Company adopted the 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“2021 ESPP”). Under the 2021 ESPP, participating employees may be offered the option to purchase shares of the Company’s Common Stock at a purchase price which equals 85% of the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the enrollment date or on the exercise date, whichever is lower. Under the terms of 2021 ESPP, if the closing price of the Company’s shares on the exercise date falls below the closing price of the Company’s shares on the enrollment date for an ongoing offering, the ongoing offering will terminate immediately following the purchase of ESPP shares on the exercise date, and participants in the terminated offering will automatically be enrolled in the new offering (“ESPP Reset”), potentially resulting in an additional modification to stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the new offering period.

Due to the changes in the Company’s stock price, an ESPP Reset occurred on May 15, 2024, resulting in incremental stock-based compensation expense to be recognized over the offering period ending May 15, 2025.

The number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2021 ESPP will be increased on the first day of each fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2022, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) a number of shares of common stock equal to half percent (0.5%) of the total number of shares of all classes of common stock of the Company on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, or (ii) such number of shares determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. On January 1, 2025, the number of shares available for issuance under 2021 ESPP increased by 3,920,882 shares.

Note 9. Net Loss per Share Attributable to Common Stockholders

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Because the Company reported a net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the number of shares used to calculate diluted net loss per common share is the same as the number of shares used to calculate basic net loss per common share for those periods presented because the potentially dilutive shares would have been antidilutive if included in the calculation.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders (in thousands, except share and per share data):
