Wheels Up Announces Second Quarter Results 08/04/2026 Premium fleet and Signature Membership growth continue to drive commercial , operational and financial progress Over 100 Brand Days with zero cancellations year - to - date , marking a new reliability milestone Multi - year extension of Delta's $ 100M revolving credit facility commitment reflects continued support from lead investor group ATLANTA , Aug. 4 , 2026 / PRNewswire / -- Wheels Up Experience Inc. ( NYSE : UP ) today announced financial results for the second quarter of 2026. Highlights of the quarter , including GAAP results , non - GAAP financial measures and key operating metrics , are on pages three to five and incorporated herein . UP Commentary from Wheels Up's Chief Executive Officer George Mattson about the Company's financial and operating results for the second quarter of 2026 is included in an Investor Letter that can be found on Wheels Up's Investor Relations website at https : // investors . wheelsup.com . Second Quarter 2026 Results • • GAAP Revenue of $ 182.0 million , a reduction of 4 % year over year , driven primarily by the disposition of non - core services businesses in 2025. Private jet Flight revenue was flat for the quarter , as demand more than doubled for premium aircraft with the controlled fleet of Phenoms and Challengers expanding from 22 to 40 year over year , offsetting legacy fleet retirements . • Total Gross Bookings ( the total gross spend on private jet flight services , including private jet charter , group charter and cargo services ) of $ 241.8 million , down 8 % year over year , primarily reflecting lower U.S. private jet charter volume driven by transitory process and technology inefficiencies from our sales force transformation . • • Gross profit of $ 9.6 million improved by $ 7 million versus the prior year period , with results impacted by approximately $ 5 million of business transformation - related expenses . Net loss of $ 107 million , or $ ( 2.97 ) per share , increased by $ 25 million versus the prior year period , primarily due to a combined $ 13 million increase in interest expense and aircraft lease costs , along with a $ 13 million non - cash impairment charge associated with the legacy fleet retirement . Adjusted Contribution of $ 22.5 million , a 2 % decline from the prior year period , and Adjusted Contribution Margin of 12.4 % , versus 12.2 % in the prior year period . The Company estimates approximately 6 points of year - over - year margin pressure came from the prior year sale of non - core services businesses ( ~ 4 points ) and transitory inefficiencies from the ongoing business transformation ( ~ 2 points ) . Adjusted EBITDAR loss of $ 19.9 million , a 27 % improvement compared to the prior year period , driven by the streamlined fleet of Phenoms and Challengers that produced a 20 % increase in Utility in the second quarter of 2026 . " Wheels Up made meaningful progress this quarter , completing our fleet modernization , reaching record levels of operational reliability , strengthening our Delta partnership , and building momentum with our Signature Membership , " said George Mattson , Wheels Up Chief Executive Officer . " The entire Wheels Up team is focused on delivering a great experience for our customers while also making the business more efficient , scalable and profitable . With the legacy fleet transition behind us and technology investments like BrokerOS expected to drive growth in our charter business , we enter the second half of the year with increasing confidence in our ability to execute against our plan and create long - term value for shareholders . " Business Highlights • Realizing benefits of fleet transformation . Premium Phenom and Challenger jets now comprise 100 % of Wheels Up's active controlled jet fleet . With legacy fleets fully retired as of April , customers now benefit from a consistent premium onboard experience as the Company drives fleet simplification and scale to maximize operating efficiency and fleet profitability . • Continued commercial momentum . Our Wheels Up Signature Membership program has grown to more than 1,200 members ( 1 ) since launch and now represents over 50 % of our active member base . Signature members fly more hours at higher rates on average , strengthening our revenue mix and improving visibility into future demand . The Delta partnership also continues to deliver tangible results , most visibly in the corporate channel , which grew more than 8 % year over year across our membership and charter offerings combined . • Maintaining best - in - class operational excellence . Wheels Up achieved a Completion Rate of 99.4 % ( up nearly 2 points year over year ) and On - Time Performance ( A - 30 ) , or arrival within 30 minutes of the scheduled time , of 86.8 % ( up more than 6 points year over year ) .

From time to time, we may adjust the definitions and calculations of our key operatingmetrics to reflect changes in our business or new data types, or to improve the accuracy and usefulness of such metrics. Our calculation ofour key operating metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. Total Gross Bookings and Private Jet Gross Bookings. We define Total Gross Bookings as the total gross spend by our members andcustomers on all private jet flight services under our membership program and charter offerings, all group charter flights, which are charterflights with 15 or more passengers ("Group Charter Flights"), and all cargo flight services ("Cargo Services"). We believe Total GrossBookings provides useful information about the scale of the overall global aviation solutions that we provide our members and customers. We define Private Jet Gross Bookings as the total gross spend by our members and customers on all private jet flight services under ourmembership program and charter offerings (excluding Group Charter Flights and Cargo Services). We believe Private Jet Gross Bookingsprovides useful information about the aggregate amount our members and customers spend with Wheels Up versus our competitors. For each of Total Gross Bookings and Private Jet Gross Bookings, the total gross spend by our members and customers is the amountinvoiced to the member or customer and includes the cost of the flight and related services, such as catering, ground transportation, certaintaxes, fees and surcharges. We use Total Gross Bookings and Private Jet Gross Bookings for historical period-to-period comparisons of ourbusiness and to identify trends, including relative to our competitors. Live Flight Legs. We define Live Flight Legs as the number of completed one-way revenue generating private jet flight legs in the applicableperiod, excluding empty repositioning legs, Group Charter Flights and Cargo Services. We believe Live Flight Legs is a useful metric tomeasure the scale and usage of our platform, and our ability to generate Flight revenue. Private Jet Gross Bookings per Live Flight Leg. We use Private Jet Gross Bookings per Live Flight Leg to measure the average grossspend by our members and customers on all private jet flight services under our membership program and charter offerings for each LiveFlight Leg. Utility. We define Utility for the applicable period as the total revenue generating flight hours flown on our controlled aircraft fleet, excludingempty repositioning legs, divided by the monthly average number of available aircraft in our controlled aircraft fleet. Utility is expressed as amonthly average. We measure the revenue generating flight hours for a given flight on our controlled aircraft as the actual flight time fromtakeoff to landing. We determine the number of aircraft in our controlled aircraft fleet available for revenue generating flights at the end ofthe applicable month and exclude aircraft then classified as held for sale. We use Utility to measure the efficiency of our operations, ourability to generate a return on our assets and the impact of our fleet modernization strategy. Completion Rate. We define Completion Rate as the percentage of total scheduled flights operated and completed, excluding customer-initiated flight cancellations. On-Time Performance (A-30). We define On-Time Performance (A-30) as the percentage of total flights flown that arrived within 30 minutesof the scheduled time, inclusive of air traffic control, weather, maintenance and customer delays, excluding all cancelled flights. On-Time Performance (D-60). We define On-Time Performance (D-60) as the percentage of total flights flown that departed within 60minutes of the scheduled time, inclusive of air traffic control, weather, maintenance and customer delays, excluding all cancelled flights. 3+ Hour Delay Rate.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR. We calculate Adjusted EBITDA as Net income (loss) adjusted for (i) Interest income (expense),(ii) Income tax expense, (iii) Depreciation and amortization, (iv) Equity-based compensation expense and (v) other items not indicative ofour ongoing operating performance, including but not limited to, restructuring and integration-related charges and non-cash gains andlosses on sales of aircraft or other assets. We calculate Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA, as further adjusted for aircraft lease costs. We include Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR as supplemental measures for assessing operating performance, to be used inconjunction with bonus program target achievement determinations, strategic internal planning, annual budgeting, allocating resources andmaking operating decisions, and to provide useful information for historical period-to-period comparisons of our business, as each measureremoves the effect of certain non-cash expenses and other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted EBITDAR is included as a supplemental measure, because we believe it provides an alternate presentation to adjust for the effectsof financing in general and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions of aircraft, which may be acquired outright, acquiredsubject to acquisition debt, including under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility (as defined in our SEC filings), by capital lease or byoperating lease, each of which may vary significantly between periods and results in a different accounting presentation. Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2026, we began including (Gain) loss on sale of aircraft held for sale and Loss onextinguishment of debt as adjustments in the reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to Net loss. Prior periodAdjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 presented herein have been recast toreflect this change. Please refer to the heading titled "Update to Non-GAAP Definitions – Adjustments for Accounting Gains and Losses fromAircraft Sales" at the end of this press release for historical non-GAAP reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR toNet loss for the quarterly periods beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2024 through the three months ended March 31, 2026and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. Adjusted Contribution and Adjusted Contribution Margin. We calculate Adjusted Contribution as Gross profit (loss) excluding Depreciationand amortization and adjusted further for equity-based compensation included in Cost of revenue and other items included in Cost ofrevenue that are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted Contribution Margin is calculated by dividing AdjustedContribution by total Revenue. We include Adjusted Contribution and Adjusted Contribution Margin as supplemental measures for assessing operating performance and forthe following: to be used to understand our ability to achieve profitability over time through scale and leveraging costs; and to provide usefulinformation for historical period-to-period comparisons of our business and to identify trends.

Update to Non-GAAP Definitions – Adjustments for Accounting Gains and Losses from Aircraft Sales Beginning with the three months ended June 30, 2026, we began including (Gain) loss on sale of aircraft held for sale and Loss onextinguishment of debt as adjustments in the reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to Net loss. (Gain) loss onsale of aircraft held for sale and Loss on extinguishment of debt, as presented for purposes of the Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDARnon-GAAP reconciliations, are non-operating items that are included in the computation of Net loss in the condensed consolidatedstatements of operations. Management believes that including (Gain) loss on sale of aircraft held for sale and Loss on extinguishment ofdebt in the non-GAAP reconciliation of each of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to Net loss improves the usefulness and clarity ofour non-GAAP financial measures by removing the impact of accounting gains or losses generated from aircraft dispositions and relateddebt repayments that are not indicative of our core operating performance. This update has no effect on any of our previously reported GAAP results. The historical non-GAAP reconciliations of each of AdjustedEBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR to Net loss under the previous definition are included below, and are followed by tables that reflect theupdated definition that adjusts for (Gain) loss on sale of aircraft held for sale and Loss on extinguishment of debt for such non-GAAPfinancial measures for the quarterly periods beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2024 through the three months endedMarch 31, 2026 and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
