Current report

On August 8, 2026, we entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Resonant Purchase Agreement”) with Strix Holdings, Inc., Strix Parent, LLC, and members of RS Seller Holdco, LLC (such members, the “Management Members”), pursuant to which we agreed to acquire Strix Holdings, Inc., which, through its subsidiaries, owns Resonant Sciences, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Resonant Sciences”) for approximately $500.0 million, subject to certain adjustments. Such payment will be made in cash, with the exception of stock consideration payable to the Management Members (as defined in the Resonant Purchase Agreement), which shall be equal to 40% of the purchase price payable to the Management Members and is expected to comprise approximately $50.0 million of the total consideration under the Resonant Purchase Agreement. This stock consideration will be at a per share price equal to $7.4752, which represents the average of the daily volume-weighted average sales price per share on the NYSE for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on and including the trading day that was two (2) trading days before the date of the Resonant Purchase Agreement. The closing of the acquisition is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of a number of conditions, including, among others, the completion of a pre-closing restructuring of Resonant Sciences, the receipt of certain required regulatory approvals, and other customary conditions. Upon closing, Resonant Sciences will become our dedicated defense business and continue to operate under the Resonant Sciences name, led by Co-Founder and CEO J. Micah North. Our existing defense initiatives, which are built on more than a decade of work with defense and intelligence customers, are expected to be combined with

Resonant Sciences. Housing this work within Resonant Sciences will allow our commercial aviation organization to maintain its primary focus on certifying, manufacturing, and commercializing our electric air taxi.

Current report

In September 2026, we commenced flight operations under the U.S. eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (“eIPP”), in partnership with the Texas Department of Transportation and in coordination with the FAA. Our initial operations in the Dallas-Fort Worth region included piloted vertical takeoff and landing flights. These activities represent an important step in our preparations for commercial service, providing opportunities to develop operational procedures, demonstrate aircraft performance in real-world environments, and advance coordination with regulators and local stakeholders. We expect to expand our activities under the eIPP, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and operational requirements, as we continue pursuing FAA type certification.

Current report

Revenue increased by $32.5 million to $55.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $22.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 primarily due to the inclusion of a full quarter of passenger revenue from our Blade offering in 2026, compared to approximately one month in 2025 following the August 29, 2025 acquisition, partially offset by lower government flight services revenue from DOD agencies.

Current report

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $40.6 million, or 90%, to $85.6 million during the three months ended September 30, 2026 from $45.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of a full quarter of Blade’s selling, general and administrative expenses in 2026, compared to approximately one month in 2025 following the August 29, 2025 acquisition, increases in legal and marketing spending, stock-based compensation, payroll, and acquisition-related costs associated with our pending acquisition of Resonant Sciences.

Reworded paragraphs (32)

Previous wording

Since our inception in 2009, we have been primarily engaged in research and development of eVTOL aircraft. We have incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in every year since our inception. As of June 30, 2026, we had an accumulated deficit of $3,141 million. We have funded our operations primarily with proceeds from the issuance of stock, convertible notes and the proceeds from our merger in August 2021 with Reinvent Technology Partners, (“RTP”), a special purpose acquisition company, through which we became a publicly-traded company.

Previous wording

Our revenue will be directly tied to the continued development of short distance aerial transportation. While we believe the global market for UAM will be large, it remains undeveloped and there is no guarantee of future demand. We are targeting carrying our first passengers in 2026. Our business will require significant investment leading up to launching these services, including, but not limited to, final engineering designs, prototyping and testing, manufacturing, software development, certification, pilot training, infrastructure and commercialization.

Previous wording

We believe one of the primary drivers for adoption of our aerial ridesharing service is the value proposition and time savings offered by aerial mobility relative to traditional ground-based transportation. Additional factors impacting the pace of adoption of our aerial ridesharing service may include but are not limited to: perceptions about eVTOL quality, safety, performance and cost; perceptions about the limited range over which eVTOL may be flown on a single battery charge; volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; availability of competing forms of transportation, such as ground, air taxi or ride-hailing services; the development of adequate infrastructure; consumers’ perception about the safety, convenience and cost of transportation using eVTOL relative to ground-based alternatives; and increases in fuel efficiency, autonomy, or electrification of cars. In addition, macroeconomic factors could impact demand for UAM services, particularly if end-user pricing is at a premium to ground-based transportation alternatives. We anticipate initial operations in the U.S. under the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program (“eIPP”) to be followed by operations in selected high-density metropolitan areas where traffic congestion is particularly acute and operating conditions are suitable for early eVTOL operations.

Previous wording

We believe that the primary sources of competition for our service are ground-based mobility solutions, other eVTOL developers/operators and local/regional incumbent aircraft charter services. While we expect to be first to market with an eVTOL facilitated aerial ridesharing service, we expect this industry to be dynamic and increasingly competitive and our competitors could get to market before us, either generally or in specific markets. Even if we are first to market, we may not receive any competitive advantage or may be overtaken by other competitors. If new or existing companies launch competing solutions in the markets in which we intend to operate or obtain large-scale capital investment, we may face increased competition. Additionally, our competitors may benefit from our efforts in developing consumer and community acceptance for eVTOL aircraft and aerial ridesharing, making it easier for them to obtain the permits and authorizations required to operate an aerial ridesharing service in the markets in which we intend to launch or in other markets. If we do not capture the first mover advantage that we anticipate, it may harm our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects. For a more comprehensive discussion, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

Previous wording

We signed a revised, stage 4 “G-1” certification basis for our aircraft with the FAA in July 2022, which was published in final form in the Federal Register in March 2024. This agreement lays out the specific requirements that need to be met by our aircraft for it to be certified for commercial operations. Reaching this milestone marks a key step towards certifying any new aircraft in the U.S. We think of the FAA type certification process in five stages and have made significant progress towards certification. We have completed or substantially completed three of these five stages, are approximately 75% complete in the fourth stage and are making steady progress through the fifth stage. While type certification is required for us to conduct widespread commercial operations in the United States, we see increasingly attractive opportunities under the eIPP to begin initial flights in key U.S. markets that align with our plans for priority launch markets, prior to type certification.

Reaching this milestone marks a key step towards certifying any new aircraft in the U.S. We think of the FAA type certification process in five stages and have made significant progress towards certification. We have completed or substantially completed three of these five stages, more than 80% complete in the fourth stage and are making steady progress through the fifth and final stage. While type certification is required for us to conduct widespread commercial operations in the United States, we see increasingly attractive opportunities under the eIPP to begin initial flights in key U.S. markets that align with our plans for priority launch markets, prior to type certification.

Previous wording

In December 2020, we became, to our knowledge, the first company to receive airworthiness approval for an eVTOL aircraft for a flight clearance from the USAF to conduct a government test. Our multi-year relationship with the DOD and other U.S. government agencies has provided us with a compelling opportunity to more thoroughly understand the operational capabilities and maintenance profiles of our aircraft in advance of commercial launch.

Previous wording

With growing USAF interest in hybrid powertrains and autonomy in aviation, we leveraged our existing aircraft platform to address these areas. In the summer of 2025, we participated in the USAF’s Resolute Force Pacific (“REFORPAC”) exercise, successfully demonstrating our Superpilot(TM) autonomous flight technology. We continue to work on autonomy programs with the USAF, including a multi-million dollar, multi-year program to advance our autonomy technology. Additionally, we are working with L3Harris on leveraging our platform to address opportunities to sell aircraft for defense applications. We are actively pursuing additional contracts with the DOD and other government agencies in these areas and believe that our investments in hydrogen-electric and autonomous technology position us to capitalize on these opportunities in the future.

Previous wording

The global economy has recently seen a significant rise in tariffs and other protective trade measures that have applied to a wide range of finished goods and raw materials. While tariffs have not had a significant impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations to date due to the limited scale of our prototype manufacturing and focus on certification efforts, over time new tariffs or other restrictions imposed in connection with trade wars or political instability could increase the costs of raw materials and other goods, both for us and our suppliers, particularly as we begin to scale our manufacturing operations and produce aircraft for commercial use. We believe that our high level of vertical integration, coupled with our investments in U.S. manufacturing facilities, gives us a competitive advantage with increased flexibility to adapt to future trade policy changes and are actively working to minimize the potential impact of any such tariffs or other restrictions. For a more comprehensive discussion, please see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and in our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The Private Placement Warrants were fully exercised on August 11, 2025, and all remaining Public Warrants expired unexercised on August 10, 2026. Accordingly, neither the Private Placement Warrants nor the Public Warrants remained outstanding as of September 30, 2026. The EBITDA Earnout performance contingency was resolved on September 1, 2026, following achievement of the maximum EBITDA targets and the amount payable became fixed at $17.5 million and was no longer subject to recurring fair value remeasurement. On September 8, 2026, we settled the $17.5 million EBITDA Earnout through the issuance of 2,419,801 shares of our common stock with a fair value of $16.6 million. Accordingly, no EBITDA Earnout liability remained outstanding as of September 30, 2026. We expect to continue recognizing gains or losses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from fair value adjustments to the Delta Warrant and Earnout Shares liabilities at each reporting date. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

The increase was primarily attributable to the inclusion of nine months of Blade’s selling, general and administrative expenses in 2026, compared to approximately one month in 2025 following the August 29, 2025 acquisition, increases in legal and marketing spend, stock-based compensation, payroll and acquisition-related costs associated with our pending acquisition of Resonant Sciences.

Previous wording

Total other income (loss), net increased by $215.2 million, or 284%, to a gain of $139.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 from a loss of $75.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was driven primarily by a $157.9 million favorable change in the fair value of warrants, earnout shares and contingent consideration, net. It was further driven by a $17.0 million increase in interest and other income, net, primarily due to higher investible funds following our equity and convertible note offerings in February 2026, partially offset by interest expense on the convertible notes issued in February 2026 and mortgage loan entered into in connection with the acquisition of an industrial property. The increase also reflected the absence in 2026 of a $40.3 million loss recognized in 2025 on the issuance of common stock in a private placement, which represented the difference between the aggregate purchase price received and the fair value of the shares issued as of the date of issuance.

The increase was primarily driven by a $436.9 million favorable change in the fair value of warrants, earnout shares and contingent consideration, net.

As of June 30, 2026, we had cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $636.1 million and short-term investments in marketable securities of $1,634.0 million.

Previous wording

We expect our cash and cash equivalents on hand together with additional proceeds from the Toyota Investment and cash we expect to generate from future operations will provide sufficient funding to support us beyond the initial launch of our commercial operations. Until we generate sufficient operating cash flow to fully cover our operating expenses, working capital needs and planned capital expenditures, or if circumstances evolve differently than anticipated, we expect to utilize a combination of equity and debt financing to fund any future remaining capital needs. If we raise funds by issuing equity securities, dilution to stockholders may result. Any equity securities issued may also provide for rights, preferences, or privileges senior to those of holders of common stock. If we raise funds by issuing debt securities, these debt securities would have rights, preferences, and privileges senior to those of preferred and common stockholders. The terms of debt securities or borrowings could impose significant restrictions on our operations. The capital markets have in the past, and may in the future, experience periods of upheaval that could impact the availability and cost of equity and debt financing.

Previous wording

Our principal uses of cash in recent periods were to fund our research and development activities, personnel costs and support services. Near-term cash requirements will also include spending on manufacturing facilities, ramping up production and supporting production certification, scaled manufacturing operations for commercialization, infrastructure and vertiports development, pilot training facilities, software development and production of aircraft. Our material contractual cash obligations include debt service requirements under the 2032 Notes and the mortgage loan, which was obtained in connection with the March 2026 acquisition of an industrial property in Ohio. The 2032 Notes require semiannual interest payments and, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted, repayment of the $690.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity in February 2032. The mortgage loan requires monthly interest-only payments at a fixed annual interest rate of 6.784%, with the outstanding principal balance of $30.75 million due at maturity in March 2036. See Note 6, Long-term debt, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information. Beyond these contractual obligations, our future cash requirements will depend on, among other factors, the timing and amount of our planned operating and capital expenditures.
