SHAREHOLDER LETTER // SHAREHOLDER LETTER Q1 2025

![](exhibit991shareholderlet002.jpg)

Financial Position Sector-Leading Cash Position Surpasses $1.7B Our Q2'25 $850M capital raise further strengthened our balance sheet supporting our simultaneous execution across both our commercial and defense opportunities. Quarterly Spend Within Range Our Q2'25 spending landed within our guided range and included strategic investments to support the company's growth trajectory. 2 LA 2028 OLYMPICS & WHITE HOUSE EXECUTIVE ORDER ADVANCE U.S. LAUNCH PLANS The LA 2028 Olympic Games selected Archer as its Official Air Taxi Provider, helping align our federal and local stakeholders around achieving our goal of FAA type certification and scaled operations of Midnight. To enable this, we partnered with the U.S. Department of Transportation, FAA, and the White House on an Executive Order in June 2025 to promote American "dominance" in eVTOL aircraft and create a Presidential mandate for early U.S. deployments as soon as next year. UNLOCK THE SKIES™ UAE LAUNCH EDITION TAKES FLIGHT We signed definitive agreements with our partners, Abu Dhabi Aviation and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, to activate our first of several planned Launch Edition programs globally. As part of this, we delivered our first Midnight aircraft to the UAE, commenced our flight test program in Abu Dhabi and expect initial commercial payments later this year. AIRCRAFT MANUFACTURING RAMPS, WITH PRODUCTION CERTIFICATE WELL UNDERWAY We are concurrently producing six Midnight aircraft, three of which are in final assembly across our facilities. We are building these across our "golden manufacturing line" in Silicon Valley and our high-volume facility in Georgia. In parallel, the FAA continued conducting reviews and inspections of our manufacturing operations as part of our production certificate efforts. ACCELERATED DEFENSE PROGRAM WITH TWO STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS Archer Defense is seeing strong demand from four of the major allied defense programs worldwide. In an effort to accelerate our path to market, during the quarter we made two strategic acquisitions: a patent portfolio and critical talent from Overair, and specialized defense composite manufacturing assets from Mission Critical Composites in Southern California.

![](exhibit991shareholderlet003.jpg)

RAMPING MANUFACTURING CAPABILITIES, PROGRESSING FAA PRODUCTION CERTIFICATE We continue to be focused in the near term on ramping our production capabilities to achieve a rate of 50 aircraft per year across our ~700,000 square feet of manufacturing and test facilities. As previously discussed, the Midnight aircraft we build during this new product introduction phase will be used in certification and early commercial deployments. We currently have six Midnight aircraft in various stages of production, three of which are in final assembly at our Covington, Georgia and Silicon Valley facilities. In parallel, the FAA continued conducting reviews and inspections of our manufacturing operations as part of our production certificate efforts. SILICON VALLEY, CALIFORNIA \| Golden Line During this new product introduction phase, we are utilizing a "golden manufacturing line" approach at one of our Silicon Valley facilities for final assembly of our early Midnight builds. COVINGTON, GEORGIA \| High-Volume Manufacturing We are using the lessons from the final assembly activities at our "golden manufacturing line" in Silicon Valley to inform the design and ramp of our high-volume manufacturing operations in Georgia. In the early months of operations at this facility, we have been focused on our manufacturing processes related to Midnight's fuselage. 3 UNLOCK THE SKIES™

7 UNLOCK THE SKIES™ ARCHER SELECTED AS EXCLUSIVE AIR TAXI PROVIDER OF LA 2028 OLYMPIC GAMES FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SUPPORT In 2023, the FAA published their Innovate28 plan setting out their objective for piloted, passenger-carrying eVTOL aircraft operations to reach meaningful scale by 2028. The Trump Administration has continued to commit support and resources toward this goal. For example, earlier this month, President Trump commissioned a White House task force, and appointed himself as Chairman, to lead federal coordination for the Olympic events, including security and transportation. INFRASTRUCTURE To support the White House's ambitions, we have secured a number of agreements with local partners across the Greater Los Angeles area to bring online take off and landing locations that we intend to use during the Games to provide air taxi services\*. We've previously announced a number of those locations, including SoFi Stadium and USC. "The creation of this [White House] task force marks an important step forward in our planning efforts and reflects our shared commitment to delivering not just the biggest, but the greatest Games the world has ever seen." CASEY WASSERMAN CHAIRMAN LA 2028 OLYMPIC & PARALYMPIC GAMES \* These agreements include initial agreements that contemplate the parties entering into future definitive agreements related thereto.

DUFFY UNITED STATES SECRETARY OF TRANSPORTATION "Dozens of companies in the USA and China are paving the way to develop electric take-off and landing vehicles for families and individuals … Just as the United States led the automobile revolution in the last century, I want to ensure that America, not China, leads the revolution in air mobility." DONALD J. TRUMP UNITED STATES PRESIDENT "President Trump's actions will unleash a new era of American aviation dominance, fostering innovation, driving economic growth, and protecting our national security. MICHAEL KRATSIOS DIRECTOR, WHITE HOUSE OFFICE OF SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY POLICY — In June 2025, President Trump signed the "Unleashing American Drone Dominance" Executive Order, declaring that the United States must accelerate the safe commercialization of advanced aviation technologies. EVTOL INTEGRATION PILOT PROGRAM This order created the eVTOL Integration Pilot Program to create immediate pathways for us to test and deploy our eVTOL aircraft in real-world use cases — fast-tracking integration into U.S. airspace. We are discussing the potential for early deployments of our Midnight aircraft with the the DOT and FAA as soon as next year. We expect the locations for the pilot program to be announced later this year with flights expected to begin shortly afterward.

10 Since announcing Archer Defense, we continue to see growing demand from four of the major allied defense programs worldwide. For example, the United States Pentagon submitted a FY26 $13.4B budget allocation request for autonomous and military systems1. In an effort to accelerate our path to market, during the quarter we made two strategic acquisitions: UNLOCK THE SKIES™ ACCELERATED DEFENSE PROGRAM WITH TWO STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS OVERAIR We acquired a patent portfolio and hired critical employees from Overair, a spin-off of Karem Aircraft. Karem Aircraft developed and manufactured advanced fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft focused on the use of high-efficiency tiltrotors. MISSION CRITICAL COMPOSITES We acquired key composite manufacturing assets and an approximately ~60,000 square foot manufacturing facility from Mission Critical Composites, a specialized defense composite manufacturer in Southern California. These assets allow us to bring core composite fabrication capabilities in-house, supporting our defense program needs for rapid prototyping and iteration. 1 See U.S. Department of Defense's Defense Budget Overview for FY'2026, Chapter 1, Page 5, available at: https://comptroller.defense.gov/Portals/45/Documents/defbudget/FY2026/FY2026_Budget_Request_Overview_Book.pdf,

Q2 2025 Financial Review We reference several non-GAAP metrics in the financial discussion that follows. Unless otherwise noted or defined, our non-GAAP metrics are calculated by starting with the equivalent GAAP metric. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided below in the section titled "GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation". SUMMARY FINANCIALS (In millions; unaudited) 1) Non-GAAP total operating expenses is a financial measure adjusting total operating expenses for warrant expenses and stock-based compensation. 2) Adjusted EBITDA is a financial measure adjusting net loss for other income (expense), net, interest income, net, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, warrant expenses, and stock-based compensation. CASH & LIQUIDITY We ended the second quarter of 2025 with $1,724.0 million of cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet and an additional $6.5 million of restricted cash. These ending cash balances represents the highest ever watermark for our quarter-end cash balances. Our second quarter of 2025 cash balances increased by $693.6 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the $850.0 million gross proceeds from the registered direct offering, partially offset by cash used in operations and investing. For the second quarter of 2025, cash used in operating and investing activities was $127.5 million, which included certain one-time investments associated with strategic asset acquisitions. 12 THREE MONTHS ENDED JUN 30, 2025 MAR 31, 2025 JUN 30, 2024 TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES $176.1 $144.0 $121.2 NET LOSS (206.0) (93.4) (106.9) NON-GAAP TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES(1) 123.5 113.1 96.4 ADJUSTED EBITDA(2) (118.7) (109.0) (93.8) CASH, CASH EQUIVALENTS 1,724.0 1,030.4 360.4 UNLOCK THE SKIES™

![](exhibit991shareholderlet013.jpg)

13 TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES Our second quarter 2025 total operating expenses represent investments required to achieve the key elements of our commercialization plan. We continued to invest in the development, test, certification and production activities for our aircraft. We also expanded investments in our go-to-market strategy and support infrastructure to enable the early bring-up of our air taxi operations globally. Total GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 were $176.1 million, which increased by $32.1 million from the first quarter of 2025, driven by investments in people and vendor related spend to support our current phase of development, testing efforts and operational scale up. Total GAAP operating expenses for the second quarter of 2025 increased by $54.9 million from the second quarter of 2024, due to similar reasons mentioned above. Total non-GAAP operating expenses (which are GAAP operating expenses less stock-based compensation and warrant expenses, a reconciliation for which is provided in the financial statement section of this letter) for the second quarter of 2025 were $123.5 million, which increased by $10.4 million from the first quarter of 2025, and increased $27.1 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the investments made in people-related costs in support of achieving our commercialization plans. NET LOSS AND ADJUSTED EBITDA Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 was $206.0 million, which increased by $112.6 million from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to the $82.0 million non-cash decrease in other income (expense), net driven by the change in fair value of warrant liability, and the $32.1 million increase total operating expenses as mentioned above. Net loss for the second quarter of 2025 increased by $99.1 million from the second quarter of 2024, primarily due to the non-cash decrease in other income (expense), net, and by the increasing total operating expenses as mentioned above. For the second quarter of 2025, adjusted EBITDA was a loss of $118.7 million, an increase of $9.7 million from the first quarter of 2025, as we continued to execute to our aircraft program development milestones and manufacturing ramp. Adjusted EBITDA loss increased by $24.9 million from the second quarter of 2024 primarily due to the investments we have made in people-related spend to support our current phase of development, testing efforts and manufacturing scale up, as well as increased spend with our suppliers. Q3 2025 FINANCIAL ESTIMATES We anticipate Adjusted EBITDA to be a loss of $110 million to $130 million for the third quarter of 2025. We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA estimates because certain items that impact non-GAAP metrics are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. In particular, stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of warrants is impacted by the future fair market value of our common stock and warrants along with other factors, all of which are difficult to predict, subject to frequent change, or not within our control. The actual amount of these expenses during 2025 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of non-GAAP metrics is not available without unreasonable effort. UNLOCK THE SKIES™

In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and many of the adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and may be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures help us evaluate our business and financial performance, identify trends impacting our business, formulate business plans and financial projections, and make strategic decisions. We believe that disclosing non-GAAP financial measures to the readers of our financial statements provides useful supplemental data that, while not a substitute for GAAP financial measures, can offer insight in the review of our operating and financial results and enables investors to more fully understand our performance and cash trends by removing the effects of certain non-cash expenses and non-recurring items. We excluded items in the following general categories from one or more of our non-GAAP financial measures, certain of which are described below: – STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION EXPENSE We exclude stock-based compensation, which is a non-cash expense, from these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that excluding this item provides meaningful supplemental information on our operating results and enhances our ability and the ability of the investors to understand the impact of non-cash stock-based compensation on our operating results. – WARRANT EXPENSE & GAINS OR LOSSES FROM REVALUATION OF WARRANTS Expense from our common stock warrants issued to Stellantis, which is recurring (but non-cash) and gains or losses from change in fair value of public and private warrants from revaluation will be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. We exclude warrant expense and gains or losses from change in fair value for similar reasons to our stock-based compensation expense. UNLOCK THE SKIES™

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Archer Announces Second Quarter Results, Highlighting Manufacturing Ramp Of Midnight Aircraft Ahead Of Early Commercial Deployments ● Six Midnight aircraft in production, three of which are in final assembly at our facilities ● Selected as the Official Air Taxi Provider of the LA28 Olympic Games ● Commenced UAE Launch Edition program with Abu Dhabi Aviation and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office ● Accelerated defense program with two strategic acquisitions ● Sector leading balance sheet with over $1.7B of cash and cash equivalents Piloted test flight of Archer's Midnight aircraft SANTA CLARA, CA, August 11, 2025 - Archer Aviation Inc. ("Archer" or the "Company") (NYSE: ACHR) today announced operating and financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. The Company issued a shareholder letter discussing those results, as well as its third quarter 2025 estimates. Commenting on second quarter 2025 results, Adam Goldstein, Archer's founder and CEO said:

![](exhibit992earningsreleas002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;"This quarter, we ramped aircraft manufacturing across our facilities in California and Georgia with six Midnight aircraft in production, including three in final assembly. Alongside major progress in the UAE, our selection as the Official Air Taxi Provider of LA28 Olympic Games, and two acquisitions to accelerate our defense program, we're executing from a position of strength with a sector leading $1.7 billion of liquidity." Live Webcast Details Archer will host a live webcast to discuss its results at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time today. The live webcast and replay is accessible via Archer's investor relations website at investors.archer.com or conference call by dialing 404-975-4839 (domestic) or +1 833-470-1428 (international) and entering the access code 100811. Second Quarter Highlights Aircraft Manufacturing Ramps, With Production Certificate Well Underway Archer is concurrently producing six Midnight aircraft across its supply chain, three of which are in final assembly across its facilities. Archer is building these across its "golden manufacturing line" in Silicon Valley and its high-volume facility in Georgia. In parallel, the FAA continued conducting reviews and inspections of Archer's manufacturing operations as part of the production certificate efforts. LA 2028 Olympic Games And White House Executive Order Advance U.S. Launch Plans The LA 2028 Olympic Games selected Archer as its Official Air Taxi Provider, helping align Archer's federal and local stakeholders around achieving the goal of FAA type certification and scaled operations of Midnight. To enable this, Archer partnered with the U.S. Department of Transportation, the FAA and the White House on an Executive Order in June 2025 to promote American "dominance" in eVTOL aircraft and create a Presidential mandate for early U.S. deployments as soon as next year. UAE Launch Edition Takes Flight Archer signed definitive agreements with its partners, Abu Dhabi Aviation and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, to activate the first of several planned Launch Edition programs globally. As part of this, Archer delivered its first Midnight aircraft to the UAE, commenced its flight test program in Abu Dhabi and expects initial commercial payments later this year. Accelerated Defense Program With Two Strategic Acquisitions Archer Defense is seeing strong demand from four of the major allied defense programs worldwide. In an effort to accelerate its path to market, during the quarter Archer made two strategic acquisitions: a patent portfolio and critical talent from Overair, and specialized defense composite manufacturing assets from Mission Critical Composites in Southern California.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Second Quarter Financial Results Q2 2025 (GAAP) Q2 20251 (Non-GAAP) Total Operating Expenses $176.1M $123.5M Net Loss $(206.0M) NA Adjusted EBITDA NA $(118.7M) Cash and Cash Equivalents $1,724.0M NA 1. A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures to the most comparable GAAP measures is provided below in the section titled "Reconciliation of Selected GAAP To Non-GAAP Results for Q2 2025." Third Quarter 2025 Financial Estimates Archer's financial estimates for third quarter of 2025 are as follows: ● Adjusted EBITDA to be a loss of $110 million to $130 million We have not reconciled our Adjusted EBITDA estimates because certain items that impact non-GAAP metrics are uncertain or out of our control and cannot be reasonably predicted. In particular, stock-based compensation expense and change in fair value of warrants is impacted by the future fair market value of our common stock and warrants along with other factors, all of which are difficult to predict, subject to frequent change, or not within our control. The actual amount of these expenses during 2025 will have a significant impact on our future GAAP financial results. Accordingly, a reconciliation of non-GAAP metrics is not available without unreasonable effort.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-GAAP Financial Measures To supplement our condensed consolidated financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: Non-GAAP total operating expenses and Adjusted EBITDA. The presentation of these financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. Investors are cautioned that there are material limitations associated with the use of non-GAAP financial measures as an analytical tool. In particular, these non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and are not based on a comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles and many of the adjustments to the GAAP financial measures reflect the exclusion of items that are recurring and may be reflected in our financial results for the foreseeable future. In addition, these measures may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, limiting their usefulness for comparison purposes. We compensate for these limitations by providing specific information regarding the GAAP amounts excluded from these non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that the use of non-GAAP financial measures help us evaluate our business and financial performance, identify trends impacting our business, formulate business plans and financial projections, and make strategic decisions.
