(NASDAQ:JTAI),
LAS VEGAS, May 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Jet.AI Inc. (the “Company”) (Nasdaq: JTAI), a pure-play artificial intelligence (“AI”) data center company operating aviation-specific AI software, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2025.
Recent Operational Highlights
- Signed Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to form a joint venture with Consensus Core Technologies Inc. (“Consensus Core”) to pursue the development of two hyperscale data-center campuses in Midwestern Canada and Maritime Canada, respectively.
- Announced strategic shift into AI data center investment and signed a LOI for a 50-megawatt data center project on a proposed gigawatt campus in Nevada
- Entered into a definitive agreement with flyExclusive to divest the Company's jet card and fractional aviation business in a spin-merge transaction expected to close in the second quarter of 2025
Management Commentary
Founder and Executive Chairman Mike Winston said, “Since refocusing our long-term strategy on AI-driven infrastructure, we've made meaningful progress pursuing and executing on what we believe are extraordinary opportunities in this space. Last month, we signed a letter of intent with Consensus Core, a group that brings both a seasoned track record and something far more valuable: real experience developing AI data centers.
Through this partnership, we plan to jointly develop two large-scale campuses-one in Midwestern Canada, the other in the Maritimes. These locations weren't picked for their postcard views-they were chosen because they sit atop the kind of energy infrastructure this next chapter of computing will depend on: access to grid power, on-site natural gas and hydroelectric/renewable energy sources.
What's especially attractive about this structure is our proposed general partnership interest in each project. That gives us the opportunity to participate in long-term cash flows, for a projected 1.5 gigawatts of capacity. As these sites are developed, leased, and ultimately scaled, we believe both the income and the underlying asset value will grow.
We're moving steadily toward a definitive agreement, and we look forward to sharing updates as we make progress. As always, we're focused on building value carefully, with good partners, and one step at a time.”
First Quarter 2025 Financial Results
Revenues were $3.5 million, compared to $3.8 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in software app and cirrus charter revenue and jet card and fractional programs revenue.
Software App and Cirrus Charter revenue, the gross amount of charters booked through CharterGPT and Cirrus, was $1.8 million, compared to $2.4 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to reduced marketing efforts and an industry-wide decline in private jet travel demand.
Management and Other Services revenue, which is comprised of revenues generated from managing and chartering our customer aircraft, increased 60% to $1.3 million compared to $0.8 million in the same period last year. The increase was driven by a management agreement entered into in the fourth quarter of 2023 and the addition of a second managed aircraft starting in April 2024.
Jet Card and Fractional Programs revenue, which is generated from the sale and use of jet cards and service revenue related to ongoing utilization by the Company's fractional customers, totaled $0.3 million compared to $0.7 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a challenging economic environment reducing flight hours flown and a revised pricing strategy, which bases Jet Card sales on HondaJet rates with an option to upgrade to the managed Cessna Citation CJ4, combined with efforts to increase Jet Card pricing.
Cost of revenues totaled $3.6 million compared to $4.0 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in third-party charter costs, federal excise taxes and merchant fees.
Gross loss totaled approximately $116,000 compared to a loss of $124,000 in the same period last year. The slight improvement in results was primarily due to lower maintenance costs and pilot wages, and lower utilization of the Company's HondaJet Elites, partially offset by stable fixed costs.
Operating expenses totaled $3.1 million compared to $3.0 million in the same period last year, The increase was primarily due to an increase in general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, which were offset by a decrease in sales and marketing expenses.
Operating loss was $3.2 million compared to a loss of $3.1 million in the same period last year.
As of March 31st, 2025, the Company had a cash balance of $12.2 million and no debt.
