**CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS**

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q ("Quarterly Report") of Wheels Up Experience Inc. ("Wheels Up", "we", "us", "our" or the "Company"), contains certain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Forward-looking statements provide current expectations of future circumstances or events based on certain assumptions and include any statement, projection or forecast that does not directly relate to any historical or current fact. Forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside of the control of Wheels Up, that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding: (i) Wheels Up's growth plans, the size, demand, competition in and growth potential of the markets for Wheels Up's service offerings and the degree of market adoption of Wheels Up's membership program, charter offerings and any future services it may offer; (ii) the potential impact of Wheels Up's cost reduction and operational efficiency and productivity initiatives on its business and results of operations, including timing, magnitude and possible effects on liquidity levels and working capital; (iii) Wheels Up's fleet modernization strategy, its ability to execute such strategy on the timeline that it currently anticipates and the expected commercial, financial and operational impacts to Wheels Up, including due to changes in the market for purchases and sales of aircraft; (iv) Wheels Up's liquidity and future cash flows, certain restrictions related to its indebtedness obligations and its ability to perform under its contractual and indebtedness obligations; (v) Wheels Up's ability to achieve its financial goals in the future on the most recent schedule that it has announced; (vi) the potential impacts or benefits from pursuing strategic actions involving Wheels Up or its subsidiaries or affiliates, including, among others, acquisitions and divestitures, new debt or equity financings, refinancings of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases and commercial partnerships or arrangements; and (vii) the impacts of general economic and geopolitical conditions on Wheels Up's business and the aviation industry, including due to, among others, fluctuations in interest rates, inflation, foreign currencies, taxes, tariffs and trade policies, government shutdowns or funding changes, and consumer and business spending decisions. The words "anticipate," "believe," "can," "continue," "could," "estimate," "expect," "future," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "possible," "potential," "predict," "project," "should," "strive," "would" and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that statement is not forward-looking. We have identified certain known material risk factors applicable to Wheels Up in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("Annual Report") under Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors," as well as in <u>[Part I, Item 2](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_103)</u> "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," <u>[Part II, Item 1A](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_169)</u> "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report. It is not always possible for us to predict how new risks and uncertainties that arise from time to time may affect us. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made. Except as required by law, we do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report.

**WHEELS UP EXPERIENCE INC.**

**NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS**

**(Unaudited)**

**1. SUMMARY OF BUSINESS AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES**

Wheels Up Experience Inc. ("Wheels Up", or "we", "us", "our" or the "Company") is a leading provider of on-demand private aviation in the United States ("U.S.") and one of the largest companies in the industry.

***Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation***

The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") for interim financial reporting, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. As a result, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2025. In the opinion of the Company's management, the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company's balance sheet as of September 30, 2025 and its results of operations, including its comprehensive loss and stockholders' equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts. The Company consolidates Wheels Up MIP LLC ("MIP LLC") and records the profits interests units in Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC, our indirect subsidiary ("WUP"), held by MIP LLC as non-controlling interests. The Company serves as the sole managing member of MIP LLC, but does not own any profits interests units in WUP (see [Note 12](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_82)).

***Use of Estimates***

Preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties. The most significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the useful lives and residual values of purchased aircraft, sales and use tax, the determination of the allowance for credit losses, reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, impairment assessments, the determination of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the incremental borrowing rate for leases.

***Segment Reporting***

We identify operating segments as components of Wheels Up for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment.

The Company's CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company's CODM evaluates the Company's financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. The measure of segment profit or loss for the Company's single segment is Net income (loss), which can be found in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. There is no expense or asset information that is supplemental to those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements that is regularly provided to the CODM.

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 aim to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses ("ASU 2024-03"). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 aim to improve the decision usefulness of expense information on public business entities' income statements through the disaggregation of relevant expense captions in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets ("ASU 2025-05"). The amendments in ASU 2025-05 clarify and simplify the application of the current expected credit loss (CECL) model to trade receivables and contract assets arising from revenue transactions. The update permits the use of practical, historical loss-rate methods for short-term receivables and provides additional guidance on applying credit loss concepts to unbilled revenue recognized under Topic 606. ASU 2025-05 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of the amendments in this update are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software ("ASU 2025-06"). The amendments in ASU 2025-06 are intended to reduce diversity in practice and provide clearer guidance on the accounting for costs incurred in the development, implementation, and maintenance of internal-use software. The update clarifies which costs should be capitalized versus expensed, refines the definition of "application development stage," and enhances disclosure requirements regarding significant internal-use software projects. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for the Company's fiscal year ending December 31, 2028, including interim periods within that fiscal year, with early adoption permitted. The provisions of the amendments in this update are not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Wheels Up reporting unit ("WUP Legacy"), we used the discounted cash flow method by calculating the fair value of WUP Legacy based on the present value of estimated future cash flows, which did not result in an impairment to Goodwill.

***Long-Term Debt Arrangements as of September 30, 2025***

*2024 Revolving Equipment Notes Facility*

On November 13, 2024 (the "Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date"), WUP LLC entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date (the "2024 Note Purchase Agreement"), with Wilmington Trust, National Association ("Wilmington Trust"), as subordination agent and trustee, and Wheels Up Class A-1 Loan Trust 2024-1, a Delaware statutory trust (the "2024-1 Trust"), which provides for the revolving issuance from time to time by WUP LLC of Series A-1 equipment notes (the "Revolving Equipment Notes") in an aggregate principal amount up to $332.0 million (the "Revolving Equipment Notes Facility"). The initial $331.3 million aggregate principal amount of Revolving Equipment Notes were issued by WUP LLC on the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date for gross proceeds equal to approximately 98.75% of the principal amount of the initial Revolving Equipment Notes.

Pursuant to the 2024 Note Purchase Agreement, any amounts of principal repaid by WUP LLC on and after the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date and prior to November 13, 2027 (the "Availability Period"), either through regular principal amortization payments or from the early redemption of principal amounts related to any aircraft secured by the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, will become available to be re-borrowed by WUP LLC for the purchase of additional aircraft to be secured by such facility during the Availability Period, subject to certain conditions. WUP LLC must also pay a customary commitment fee on unused amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Equipment Note Facility. The maturity date for the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility is five years after the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date, or November 13, 2029 (the "Revolving Equipment Notes Maturity Date").

The Revolving Equipment Notes Facility utilizes an enhanced equipment trust certificate (EETC) loan structure. Pursuant to the 2024 Note Purchase Agreement, Revolving Equipment Notes are issued from time to time pursuant to a Trust Indenture and Mortgage (together with any supplements thereto, the "2024 Trust Indenture") that was entered into by WUP LLC and Wilmington Trust, as the mortgagee thereunder, on the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date. The Revolving Equipment Notes bear interest at the variable rate of the then applicable three-month secured overnight funds rate ("SOFR") plus 1.75% per annum from the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date to the end of the Availability Period, SOFR plus 2.25% immediately after the end of the Availability Period to November 13, 2028, and SOFR plus 2.75% from November 13, 2028 to the Revolving Equipment Notes Maturity Date, with annual amortization of principal amount equal to 10% per annum through the end of the Availability Period and 12% per annum thereafter to the Revolving Equipment Notes Maturity Date. Interest on the Revolving Equipment Notes is payable quarterly on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, which began on February 15, 2025, and on the Revolving Equipment Notes Maturity Date. Principal payments on the Revolving Equipment Notes are scheduled for payment on the same dates as interest payments.

As of September 30, 2025, the Revolving Equipment Notes were secured by first-priority liens on 81 of the Company's owned aircraft and in the future will be secured by first-priority liens on any additional aircraft for which a Revolving Equipment Note is issued from time to time (collectively, the "Revolving Equipment Notes Collateral"). WUP LLC may redeem any Revolving Equipment Note in connection with the sale of an aircraft that

------

constitutes Revolving Equipment Notes Collateral or otherwise, at any time, and is not required to pay any prepayment premiums in connection with such early redemptions. The maturity of the Revolving Equipment Notes may be accelerated upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including the failure by WUP LLC (in some cases after notice or the expiration of a grace period, or both) to make payments thereunder when due, a failure to comply with certain covenants and certain bankruptcy events involving the Company, its guarantors or Delta. WUP LLC's obligations under the Revolving Equipment Notes are guaranteed by the Company, WUP and WUPJ, which has a U.S. Federal Aviation Administration ("FAA") Part 135 operating certificate. In the future, WUP LLC must cause any of its subsidiaries and affiliates that hold a FAA Part 135 operating certificate to become a guarantor under the Revolving Equipment Note Facility under certain circumstances.

The 2024 Note Purchase Agreement, 2024 Trust Indenture and related guarantees contain certain covenants, including a covenant that limits the maximum loan to value ratio of all aircraft financed under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, a covenant that limits the maximum concentration of the outstanding aggregate principal amount for Revolving Equipment Notes for specified models of aircraft relative to the outstanding aggregate principal amount of all aircraft financed under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, and a requirement to maintain a liquidity reserve in the form of a cash amount or a letter of credit equal to six months of interest charges based on the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Equipment Notes outstanding on any regularly scheduled principal and interest payment date, in each case subject to certain cure rights of the Company. The 2024 Trust Indenture contains customary events of default for facilities of its type, as well as an event of default that is triggered upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default by Delta under its current revolving credit agreement or any replacements thereof.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, WUP LLC (i) redeemed in-full the Revolving Equipment Notes for 19 aircraft, which reduced the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility by $45.3 million, and (ii) issued new Revolving Equipment Notes for four aircraft in the aggregate principal amount of $33.9 million. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying value of the 81 aircraft that were subject to first-priority liens under outstanding Revolving Equipment Notes was $292.9 million. Amortization expense for debt discounts and deferred financing costs of $0.2 million and $1.1 million were recorded in Interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and nil was recorded in interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

*Credit Support*

In connection with the initial closing of the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, Delta agreed to provide credit support for the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, which effectively guarantees WUP LLC's payment obligations thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of specified events of default, in exchange for an annual fee as a percentage of the aggregate principal amounts drawn under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility that is payable-in-kind by the Company and accrues interest over the life of the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility (the "Credit Support Premium"). The Credit Support Premium constitutes a revolving loan payable to Delta under the Revolving Credit Facility. Amounts in respect of the Credit Support Premium accrue while the Revolving Equipment Notes are outstanding and include interest that is compounded and capitalized on the last day of each calendar quarter; however, any such accrued amounts do not reduce Delta's $100.0 million commitment available to be borrowed by the Company from time to time until September 20, 2026 under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Support Premium will become due and payable in-full upon the earlier of repayment and extinguishment of the Revolving Equipment Note Facility and the termination of Delta's obligation to provide credit support for the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility. Amounts outstanding in connection with the Credit Support Premium are consolidated with amounts outstanding under the Term Loan in the long-term debt table above.

On the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date, the Company entered into Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement (the "Second Credit Agreement Amendment"), by and among the Company, as borrower, the other Loan Parties (as defined below) party thereto, as guarantors, Delta and CK Wheels LLC ("CK Wheels"), together constituting the Required Lenders and Lead Lenders (as each term is defined in the Credit Agreement (as defined below)) thereunder, and the Agent (as defined below), to make certain technical amendments to the Credit Agreement to permit the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility and provide for the Credit Support Premium. The

------

Second Credit Agreement Amendment did not materially amend any of the events of default or covenants, collateral provisions, terms related to existing borrowings and repayments, the maturity date or otherwise alter Delta's existing $100.0 million commitment under the Revolving Credit Facility.

*Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility*

On September 20, 2023 (the "Credit Agreement Closing Date"), the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (the "Original Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (collectively with the Company, the "Loan Parties"), Delta, CK Wheels, and Cox Investment Holdings LLC ("CIH" and, collectively with Delta and CK Wheels, the "Initial Lenders"), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders (as defined below) and as collateral agent for the secured parties (the "Agent"), pursuant to which (i) the Initial Lenders provided a term loan facility (the "Initial Term Loan") in the aggregate original principal amount of $350.0 million and (ii) Delta provided commitments for a revolving loan facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") in the aggregate original principal amount of $100.0 million. On September 20, 2023, the Company issued the Initial Term Loan of $350.0 million to the Initial Lenders for net proceeds (before transaction-related expense) of $343.0 million.

On November 15, 2023 (the "Final Credit Agreement Closing Date"), the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement (the "First Credit Agreement Amendment" and, collectively with the Original Credit Agreement, Second Credit Agreement Amendment and Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2025, the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, the other Loan Parties party thereto, as guarantors, the Initial Lenders, and certain other lenders named therein (collectively, the "Incremental Term Lenders" and, collectively with the Initial Lenders, the "Lenders"), and the Agent, pursuant to which, among other things, the Incremental Term Lenders joined the Credit Agreement and provided an additional term loan facility (the "Incremental Term Loan" and, together with the Initial Term Loan, the "Term Loan" and, together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the "Credit Facility") in the aggregate original principal amount of $40.0 million. On the Final Credit Agreement Closing Date, the Company issued the Incremental Term Loan of $40.0 million to the Incremental Term Lenders for net proceeds (before transaction-related expense) of $39.2 million. Upon the closing of the Incremental Term Loan and as of September 30, 2025, the loans under the Credit Agreement consisted of (i) the Term Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $390.0 million and (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate original principal amount of $100.0 million, which remains available to be drawn through September 20, 2026.

The scheduled maturity date for the Term Loan is September 20, 2028, and the scheduled maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility is the earlier of September 20, 2028 and the first date after September 20, 2026 on which all amounts owed under the Revolving Credit Facility have been repaid, subject in each case to earlier termination upon acceleration or termination of any obligations upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default. Interest on the Term Loan and any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (each, a "Loan" and collectively, the "Loans") accrues at a rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the Loans then outstanding. Accrued interest on each Loan is payable-in-kind as compounded interest and capitalized to the principal amount of the applicable Loan on the last day of each of March, June, September and December each year, and the applicable maturity date. If in the future the Company or its subsidiaries either redeem in-full all outstanding Revolving Equipment Notes or commence payoff at maturity thereof, the Company may elect to make interest payments or some portion thereof on any Loans then outstanding in cash. Also, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an event of default under the Credit Agreement, interest will accrue on (i) the unpaid principal balance of the Loans at the rate then applicable to such Loans plus 2% per annum and (ii) all other outstanding liabilities, interest, expenses, fees and other sums under the Credit Agreement, at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus 2% per annum.

The Credit Agreement also contains certain covenants and events of default, in each case customary for facilities of its type. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first-priority lien on unencumbered assets of the Loan Parties (excluding any segregated account exclusively holding customer deposits and certain other assets, in each case as specified in the Credit Agreement) and a junior lien on the Revolving Equipment Notes Collateral. The Credit Agreement is guaranteed by all U.S. and certain non-U.S. direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company and the equity interests of such subsidiaries have been pledged as collateral. In the

------

future, the Company may be required to add any new or after-acquired subsidiaries of the Company that meet certain criteria as guarantors. As of September 30, 2025, we were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement and related credit documents.

In connection with the funding of the Initial Term Loan, the Company entered into the Investment and Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of the Credit Agreement Closing Date (the "Original Investor Rights Agreement"), by and among the Company and the Initial Lenders, pursuant to which the Company issued to the Initial Lenders 141,313,671 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate (the "Initial Shares") in a private placement (the "Initial Issuance") on the Credit Agreement Closing Date. In addition, the Company agreed to issue an additional 529,926,270 shares of Common Stock in the aggregate (the "Deferred Shares" and, together with the Initial Shares, the "Investor Shares") in a subsequent private placement (the "Deferred Issuance" and, together with the Initial Issuance, the "Investor Issuances").

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the First Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to Investment and Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of the Final Credit Agreement Closing Date (the "First Investor Rights Agreement Amendment" and, collectively with the Original Investor Rights Agreement, Amendment No. 2 to Investment and Investor Rights Agreement, dated September 22, 2024, Amendment No. 3 to Investment and Investor Rights Agreement, dated September 21, 2025, and the Investor Rights Agreements Joinders (as defined below), the "Investor Rights Agreement"), with each Initial Lender, which contained, among others, certain revisions to reflect the issuance of the Deferred Shares. Substantially concurrently with entering into the First Investor Rights Agreement Amendment, on the Final Credit Agreement Closing Date, the Company and Initial Lenders entered into joinders to the Investor Rights Agreement (collectively, the "investor Rights Agreement Joinders") with each Incremental Term Lender (or its applicable affiliate), pursuant to which each Incremental Term Lender (or its applicable affiliate) joined the Investor Rights Agreement and assumed the rights and obligations of an Additional Investor (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) thereunder, including the right to receive a pro rata portion of the Investor Shares. The Company issued the Deferred Shares to the Lenders on the Final Credit Agreement Closing Date in a private placement. Following the Deferred Issuance, each Lender had been issued a number of shares equal to its pro rata portion of the Investor Shares based on its participation in the Term Loan.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 480, *Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity*, and ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging*, the Company determined that the Term Loan, Initial Issuance and Deferred Issuance did not contain any features that would qualify as a derivative or embedded derivative and require bifurcation. In addition, the Company determined the Initial Issuance and Deferred Issuance should be classified as equity. In accordance with ASC 470, *Debt*, the allocation on a relative fair value basis resulted in gross amounts recorded of $44.9 million for the Initial Term Loan, $64.2 million for the Initial Issuance and $240.9 million for the Deferred Issuance, in each case during the year ended December 31, 2023.

In accordance with ASC 815, *Derivatives and Hedging*, the Company determined the reallocation of the Deferred Issuance between the Lenders in connection with the First Credit Agreement Amendment and Investor Rights Agreement Joinders that resulted in a pro rata portion of the Investor Shares being issued to the Incremental Term Lenders on the Final Credit Agreement Closing Date represented a modification of a freestanding equity-classified written call option and the modification was to be recognized as if cash had been paid as consideration for the shares of Common Stock issued to the Incremental Term Lenders (collectively, the "Reallocated Shares"). Accordingly, the Reallocated Shares were treated as a debt discount in accordance with the guidance in ASC 835, *Interest*, and the value of the Incremental Term Loan and the Reallocated Shares was apportioned using a relative fair value allocation that resulted in gross amounts recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2023 of $9.4 million for the Incremental Term Loan and $30.6 million for the Reallocated Shares.

Aggregate issuance costs of $29.5 million were incurred in connection with the Original Credit Agreement, First Credit Agreement Amendment, Original Investor Rights Agreement and First Investor Rights Agreement Amendment. The deferred issuance costs were allocated on a relative fair value basis, resulting in an allocation of $4.1 million in the aggregate for the Term Loan and $25.4 million in the aggregate for the Investor Issuances. The initial carrying value of the Term Loan was $41.4 million as of September 20, 2023, which reflected $3.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and $305.2 million of unamortized debt discount. The initial carrying value of the

------

Incremental Term Loan was $8.7 million as of November 15, 2023, which reflected $0.7 million of unamortized debt issuance costs and $30.6 million of unamortized debt discount.

Amortization (Accretion) of debt discounts and deferred issuance costs associated with the Term Loan of $4.8 million and $9.6 million were recorded in Interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $(0.7) million and $(4.8) million were recorded in Interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

***Long-Term Debt Extinguished as of or prior to September 30, 2025***

Amortization expense for debt discounts and deferred financing costs associated with the interim extinguishment of certain WUP LLC's former fixed rate equipment notes, which were redeemed in-full on the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date, of nil was recorded in Interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, and $1.1 million and $3.8 million were recorded in Interest expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

**8. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS**

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability, an exit price, in an orderly transaction between unaffiliated willing market participants on the measurement date under current market conditions. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available and activity in the markets used to measure fair value. A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Level 1 - | Quoted prices, unadjusted, in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that can be accessed at the measurement date. |
| Level 2 - | Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. |
| Level 3 - | Unobservable inputs developed using our own estimates and assumptions, which reflect those that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |

(1)Financial instrument measured on a recurring basis.

(2)Financial instrument measured on a non-recurring basis.

The carrying amount of Money market funds approximates fair value and is classified within Level 1, because we determined the fair value through quoted market prices.

The Warrants (as defined below) were accounted for as a liability in accordance with ASC 815-40. The Warrant liability was measured at fair value upon assumption and on a recurring basis, with changes in fair value presented in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of each of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we used Level 2 inputs for the Warrants. See <u>[Note 11](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_76)</u> for additional information about the Warrants.

The estimated fair value of the Revolving Equipment Notes is categorized as a Level 3 valuation. We considered the appraised value of aircraft subject to first-priority liens under the Revolving Equipment Notes, as sourced during the second quarter of 2025 and as required under the Revolving Equipment Notes, to determine the fair value of the Revolving Equipment Notes as of September 30, 2025.

The estimated fair value of the Term Loan is categorized as a Level 3 valuation. The estimated fair value as of September 30, 2025 was estimated using a discounted cash flows analysis, based on our current estimated incremental borrowing rate for a similar type of borrowing arrangement and taking into account amounts outstanding as of September 30, 2025 in connection with the Credit Support Premium.

**9. LEASES**

Leases primarily pertain to certain controlled aircraft, office spaces and operational facilities, which are all accounted for as operating leases. Certain of these operating leases have renewal options to further extend for additional time periods at our discretion.

We have certain variable lease agreements with certain aircraft lessors that contain payment terms based on an hourly lease rate multiplied by the number of flight hours for the applicable aircraft during a given period. Variable lease payments are not included in the right-of-use asset and lease liability balances but rather are expensed as incurred.

The components of net lease cost were as follows (in thousands):

Lease costs related to leased aircraft and operational facilities are included in Cost of revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Lease costs related to leased aircraft were $3.6 million and $12.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and $8.4 million and $25.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively.

Lease costs related to our leased corporate headquarters and other office space, including expenses for non-lease components, are allocated within the condensed consolidated statements of operations based on employee headcount. Sublease income is presented in General and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and was not material for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

As part of our continuing cost reduction initiatives, in the first quarter of 2025, we leased alternative corporate office space in New York City and vacated a larger leased corporate office space in New York City, for which we are actively seeking a sublease tenant. Vacating the former office space was identified as a triggering event for impairment testing for the impacted asset group, including the right-of-use asset and associated leasehold improvements and furniture. We estimated the fair value of the asset group using a discounted cash flow approach, which considered estimated future cash flows associated with the asset group. We recorded a one-time non-cash impairment charge of $20.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 representing the full carrying value of the right of use asset for the vacated space. The impairment charge is presented in General and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

**10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY AND EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION**

***Stockholders' Equity***

Pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on November 15, 2023, we are authorized to issue up to 1,525,000,000 shares, consisting of (i) 1,500,000,000 shares of Common Stock and (ii) 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share; provided, that by agreement: (i) certain parties to the Investor Rights Agreement that are not a "citizen of the United States" (as defined in 49 USC § 40102(a)(15)(C)) (collectively, the "Non-Citizen Investors") may be afforded collective voting rights equal to 1% of all shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's stockholders; (ii) for so long as such Non-Citizen Investors collectively hold such shares of Common Stock, the shares of Common Stock held by CK Wheels in excess of 23.9% of all shares of Common stock entitled to vote at a meeting of the Company's stockholders will not have voting rights (subject to ratable adjustment if the Non-Citizen Investors cease to own (beneficially or of record) a certain number of shares of Common Stock); and (iii) any shares of Common Stock owned by Delta above 29.9% will be neutral shares with respect to voting rights and will be voted in proportion to all other votes cast ("for", "against" or "abstain") at a meeting of the Company's stockholders by stockholders other than by Delta.

***At-the-Market Common Stock Offering Program***

On August 29, 2025, we entered into an ATM Equity Offering<sup>SM</sup> Sales Agreement with BofA Securities, Inc. and Jefferies LLC (each, a "Sales Agent" and together, the "Sales Agents"), pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $50.0 million of our Common Stock through the Sales Agents (the "ATM Program"). During each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 21,157,534 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Program for $49.4 million in aggregate gross proceeds, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $47.6 million after deducting sales commissions.

------

***Equity-Based Compensation***

The Company's outstanding equity-based compensation awards to its directors, executive officers, employees and other eligible personnel have been made pursuant to the Wheels Up Experience Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended and restated effective April 1, 2023 (as amended by the LTIP Amendments (as defined herein), the "Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP"), the Wheels Up Experience Inc. Performance Award Agreement, dated as of November 30, 2023, granted to George Mattson (the "CEO Performance Plan"), the Wheels Up Experience Inc. Performance Award Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2025, granted to John Verkamp, our Chief Financial Officer (the "CFO Performance Plan"), the Wheels Up Experience Inc. Performance Award Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2024, granted to David Harvey (the "CCO Performance Plan" and, collectively with the CEO Performance Plan and CFO Performance Plan, the "Executive Performance Plans"), nine equity-based compensation plans that were approved by the board of directors of WUP (collectively, the "WUP Management Incentive Plan") prior to the business combination consummated on July 13, 2021 (the "Business Combination Closing Date") between WUP and Aspirational Consumer Lifestyle Corp. ("Aspirational"), a blank check company (the "Business Combination"), and the Wheels Up Partners Holdings LLC Option Plan (the "WUP Option Plan"), which was approved by the board of directors of WUP prior to the Business Combination. Additional details about these equity-based compensation arrangements are below.

*WUP Management Incentive Plan*

In March 2014, the WUP Management Incentive Plan was established, which provided for the issuance of WUP profits interests, restricted or unrestricted, to employees, consultants and other qualified persons. Following the consummation of the Business Combination, no new grants can be made under the WUP Management Incentive Plan. Vested WUP profits interests are eligible to be exchanged into shares of Common Stock before July 13, 2031. Amounts of WUP profits interests reported in the tables below represent the maximum number of WUP profits interests outstanding or that could be realized upon vesting and immediately exchanged for the maximum number of shares of Common Stock. The actual number of shares of Common Stock received upon exchange of such WUP profits interests will depend on the trading price per share of Common Stock at the time of such exchange.

The following table summarizes the WUP profits interests activity under the WUP Management Incentive Plan as of September 30, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of WUP<br>Profits Interests** | **Weighted-Average Grant<br>Date Fair Value** |
| | **(in thousands)** | |
| Outstanding WUP profits interests as of January 1, 2025 | 2881 | $4.16 |

| Exchanged |  |  |
| Expired/forfeited |  |  |
| Outstanding WUP profits interests as of September 30, 2025 | 2881 | $4.16 |

---

The weighted-average remaining contractual term as of September 30, 2025, for WUP profits interests outstanding was approximately 5.8 years. All WUP profits interests vested as of or prior to December 31, 2023.

*WUP Option Plan*

In December 2016, the WUP Option Plan was established, which provided for the issuance of stock options to purchase WUP common interests at an exercise price based on the fair market value of the interests on the date of grant. Generally, WUP stock options vest over a four-year service period and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Each outstanding WUP stock option is exercisable for one share of Common Stock.

------

The following table summarizes the activity under the WUP Option Plan as of September 30, 2025:

| Exercisable WUP stock options as of September 30, 2025 | 804 | $74.28 | $11.61 |

---

The aggregate intrinsic value as of September 30, 2025, for WUP stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was nil. The weighted-average remaining contractual term as of September 30, 2025, for WUP stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was approximately 3.5 years. All WUP stock options were vested as of December 31, 2023.

*Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP*

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") and stockholders of Wheels Up adopted the Wheels Up Experience Inc. 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Original 2021 LTIP"), for employees, consultants and other qualified persons. Following approval by the Board, (i) at the 2023 annual meeting of the Company's stockholders, the Company's stockholders approved the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for awards made thereunder by 2,415,000 shares and amend certain other plan provisions, (ii) at the 2024 annual meeting of the Company's stockholders (the "2024 Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders approved Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP (the "First LTIP Amendment"), to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for awards made under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP by 25,000,000 shares, and (iii) at the 2025 annual meeting of the Company's stockholders (the "2025 Annual Meeting"), the Company's stockholders approved Amendment No. 2 to the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP (the "Second LTIP Amendment" and, together with the First LTIP Amendment, the "LTIP Amendments"), to increase the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock available for awards made under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP by an additional 30,000,000 shares and extend the termination date of such plan to March 26, 2035. The Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP provides for the grant of incentive options, nonstatutory options, restricted stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), including performance-based RSUs ("PSUs"), rights, dividend equivalents, other stock-based awards, performance awards, cash awards or any combination of the foregoing. As of September 30, 2025, an aggregate of 60.1 million shares were authorized for issuance under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP.

<u>RSUs</u>

RSUs granted under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP generally vest at intervals up to a four-year service period, subject to the grantee's continued service to the Company through the applicable vesting date. The following table summarizes the activity under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP related to RSUs as of September 30, 2025:

------

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of RSUs** | **Weighted-Average Grant<br>Date Fair Value** |
| | **(in thousands)** | |
| Non-vested RSUs as of January 1, 2025 | 10134 | $2.76 |
| Granted | 11874 | 1.24 |
| Vested | (2119) | 3.81 |
| Forfeited | (1037) | 1.83 |
| Non-vested RSUs as of September 30, 2025 | 18852 | $1.74 |

---

The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested RSUs was $26.3 million as of September 30, 2025 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.6 years.

<u>PSUs</u>

Under the terms of the PSUs granted to certain employees under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP, upon the achievement of certain pre-determined performance objectives, each PSU may settle into shares of our Common Stock. The PSUs will vest, if at all, upon the actual achievement of the related performance objectives, subject to specified change of control exceptions and the grantee's continued service to the Company through the applicable vesting date.

The following table summarizes the activity under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP related to PSUs as of September 30, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Number of PSUs** | **Weighted-Average Grant<br>Date Fair Value** |
| | **(in thousands)** | |

| Granted | 1747 | 1.20 |
| Vested |  |  |
| Forfeited | (360) | 2.73 |
| Non-vested PSUs as of September 30, 2025 | 1774 | $1.89 |

---

Compensation expense associated with PSUs is recognized over the vesting period of the awards that are ultimately expected to vest when the achievement of the related performance objectives becomes probable. As of September 30, 2025, the achievement of the performance objectives associated with non-vested PSUs was deemed probable. The total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested PSUs deemed probable of being achieved was $1.9 million as of September 30, 2025 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.

<u>Wheels Up Stock Options</u>

Wheels Up stock options granted under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP vest quarterly over a three-year service period and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. The following table summarizes the activity under the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP related to Wheels Up stock options as of September 30, 2025:

---

| | | | |

---

The aggregate intrinsic value as of September 30, 2025, for Wheels Up stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was nil. The weighted-average remaining contractual term as of September 30, 2025, for Wheels Up stock options that were outstanding and exercisable was approximately 2.1 years.

*Executive Performance Plans*

The Compensation Committee of the Board approved the CEO Performance Plan granted to George Mattson, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, CFO Performance Plan granted to John Verkamp, the Company's Chief Financial Officer, and CCO Performance Plan granted to David Harvey, the Company's former Chief Commercial Officer, effective November 30, 2023, March 31, 2025 and May 20, 2024, respectively. Except as set forth in Section III.A of the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP, the Executive Performance Plans incorporate the terms of the Amended and Restated 2021 LTIP, as it may be amended from time-to-time. Each Executive Performance Plan is intended to constitute a standalone equity incentive plan and any shares of Common Stock issued under such awards will not be issued under, or count against the number of shares of Common Stock reserved pursuant to, any of the Company's other equity-based compensation plans or awards.

At the (i) 2024 Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved the CEO Performance Plan and the potential issuance of up to 73.0 million shares of Common Stock thereunder and (ii) 2025 Annual Meeting, the Company's stockholders approved the CFO Performance Plan and CCO Performance Plan, and the potential issuance of up to 12.0 million and 15.0 million shares of Common Stock, respectively, under such awards, in each case subject to the satisfaction of the applicable performance- and service-based vesting conditions under such award, if at all. If on any Determination Date (as defined below) there is not a sufficient amount of shares authorized by the Company's stockholders to deliver the number of shares due under the Executive Performance Plans or any such Executive Performance Plan has not been approved by the Company's stockholders, then upon vesting, if at all, any amounts payable under any such Executive Performance Plan will not be paid in the form of the issuance of new shares of Common Stock and instead will be payable in cash.

The Executive Performance Plans are one-time performance awards granted to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and former Chief Commercial Officer in lieu of future annual equity compensation grants and are intended to provide each of them with the opportunity to share in the long-term growth of the value of the Company. The Executive Performance Plans consist of a contingent right to receive a number of newly issued shares of Common Stock upon: (i) repayment of the Company's borrowings under the $390.0 million Term Loan plus any additional amounts drawn on the Term Loan, if at all; and (ii) satisfaction of service-based vesting conditions, which provide that 25% of the CEO Performance Plan and CCO Performance Plan will be eligible to vest on each of September 20, 2024, 2025, 2026 and 2027, and one-third of the CFO Performance Plan will be eligible to vest on each of September 20, 2025, 2026 and 2027, in each case so long as such officer remains employed with the

------

Company as of such dates, subject to limited exceptions. A "Repayment Event" includes certain refinancings of the Term Loan on or before September 20, 2028, the scheduled maturity date of the Term Loan. Subject to the satisfaction of the applicable performance- and service-based vesting conditions described above, the number of shares of Common Stock that may vest and be issued under any Executive Performance Plan will first be determined on December 31st of the year in which a Repayment Event occurs, and then on December 31st of each subsequent year (each such date, a "Determination Date") until December 31, 2028 (the "Final Determination Date"). At any Determination Date following a Repayment Event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under any Executive Performance Plan in connection with such Determination Date, if any, will be determined using the then applicable percentage associated with the service-based vesting condition (the "Service Vested Percentage").

The number of shares of Common Stock subject to vesting and issuance, if any, under any Executive Performance Plan on each Determination Date following a Repayment Event is based on a formula that aligns the number of shares of Common Stock issuable under such Executive Performance Plan with the repayment or refinancing of the Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility, the then applicable dollar value of the shares of Common Stock issued to the Lenders under the Investor Rights Agreement and the volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock during the 60 trading day period prior to the applicable Determination Date. The number of shares of Common Stock, if any, issuable under the Executive Performance Plans will vary depending on, among other things: (i) the occurrence and timing of a Repayment Event; (ii) the Total Investor Return (as defined in the Executive Performance Plans) as a multiple of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan and any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility as of the applicable Determination Date, if any; and (iii) the Service Vested Percentage as of the applicable Determination Date. There can be no assurance that the performance- and service-based vesting conditions under the Executive Performance Plans will be satisfied or that the foregoing variables will result in the vesting and issuance of any shares of Common Stock or cash payments pursuant to the Executive Performance Plans.

As of September 30, 2025, the performance-based vesting conditions for the outstanding and unvested Executive Performance Plans were not met and no shares had vested. As of September 30, 2025, the achievement of the related performance objective was deemed probable of being achieved on September 20, 2028, the scheduled maturity date of the Term Loan. The grant-date fair value of the CFO Performance Plan as of March 31, 2025, using a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $9.7 million. The derived service periods for the Executive Performance Plans, which began on the respective grant dates, were: (i) for the CEO Performance Plan, 5.2 years; (ii) for the CCO Performance Plan, 4.7 years; and (iii) for the CFO Performance Plan, 3.8 years. As a result of his departure from his position with the Company effective June 19, 2025, our former Chief Commercial Officer will only be credited with 50% of the Service Vested Percentage pursuant to the terms of the CCO Performance Plan in the event all performance-based vesting conditions are satisfied or a Change of Control (as defined in the CCO Performance Plan) occurs. Accordingly, 50% of the CCO Performance Plan was forfeited and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized a $4.1 million cumulative reversal of related equity-based compensation expense that was recognized in prior periods.

The total unrecognized compensation cost related to the outstanding and unvested Executive Performance Plans was $118.7 million as of September 30, 2025 and is expected to be recognized over 3.3 years. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying amount of the outstanding Executive Performance Plans, including carrying amounts related to the CFO Performance Plan and CCO Performance Plan that until receipt of stockholder approval of such plans at the 2025 Annual Meeting were classified as mezzanine equity, was classified as equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet under Additional paid-in capital.

***Fair Value Estimates***

We estimated fair value to measure compensation cost of the Executive Performance Plans on the date of grant using techniques that are considered to be consistent with the objective of measuring fair value. In selecting the

------

appropriate technique, management considered, among other factors, the nature of the instrument, the market risks that it embodies, and the expected means of settlement.

Estimating fair values of the Executive Performance Plans requires the development of significant and subjective estimates that may, and are likely to, change over the duration of the instrument with related changes in internal and external factors. In addition, option-pricing models are highly volatile and sensitive to changes.

The following table summarizes the significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value on the date of grant for the outstanding and unvested Executive Performance Plans granted during fiscal years 2024 and 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **2025**<sup>(1)</sup> | **2024**<sup>(2)</sup> |
| Expected term (in years) | 3.8 | 4.7 |
| Volatility | 105% | 70% |
| Risk-free rate | 3.9% | 4.4% |
| Expected dividend rate | —% | —% |

***Earnout Shares***

As part of the Business Combination, existing holders of WUP equity, including certain holders of WUP profits interests and restricted interests under the WUP Management Incentive Plan, but excluding holders of WUP stock options, have the right to receive up to 0.9 million additional shares of Common Stock (the "Earnout Shares") that will vest, if at all, upon the achievement of separate market conditions. One-third of the Earnout Shares will vest and be issued if the Common Stock closing price is greater than or equal to $125.00, an additional one-third will vest and be issued if the Common Stock closing price is greater than or equal to $150.00 and the final one-third will vest and be issued when the Common Stock closing price is greater than or equal to $175.00, in each case over any 20 trading days within a period of 30 consecutive trading days on or before July 13, 2026. Earnout Shares are attributable to

------

vested WUP profits interests and restricted interests as of the date each of the Earnout Share market conditions are met. Any portion of the Earnout Shares for which the market condition has not been met on or before July 13, 2026 will be automatically canceled.

The grant-date fair value of the Earnout Shares attributable to the holders of WUP profits interests and restricted interests, using a Monte Carlo simulation model, was $57.9 million. The derived service period began on the Business Combination Closing Date and had a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

Based on the Common Stock trading price as of September 30, 2025, the market conditions were not met, and no Earnout Shares vested or were issuable as of such date. No Earnout Shares have been issued as of September 30, 2025. Compensation expense for Earnout Shares recognized in the condensed consolidated statements of operations was nil for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

***Treasury Stock***

As of September 30, 2025, we had 1,267,117 shares of treasury stock. The increase in treasury stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 reflects shares of Common Stock withheld to settle employee taxes due upon the vesting of RSUs and the repurchase of 566,544 shares of Common Stock for an aggregate amount, including commissions but excluding applicable excise taxes, of $0.6 million under the Company's share repurchase program. We did not cancel or reissue any shares of Common Stock held as treasury stock during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

**11. WARRANTS**

Prior to the Business Combination, Aspirational issued 7,991,544 redeemable public warrants ("Public Warrants") and 4,529,950 redeemable private warrants ("Private Warrants" and together with the Public Warrants, the "Warrants"), which Wheels Up assumed on the Business Combination Closing Date. Each whole Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 1/10th share of Common Stock at a price of $115.00 per whole share of Common Stock. The Warrants expire on July 13, 2026 or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. As of September 30, 2025, no Warrants had been exercised, and 12,521,494 Warrants remained outstanding and exercisable for up to 1,252,149 shares of Common Stock.

**12. NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS**

MIP LLC is a single purpose entity formed for the purpose of administering and effectuating the award of WUP profits interests to employees, consultants and other qualified persons prior to the Business Combination. Wheels Up is the sole managing member of MIP LLC and, as a result, consolidates the financial results of MIP LLC. We record non-controlling interests representing the ownership interest in MIP LLC held by other members of MIP LLC. In connection with the Business Combination, the Seventh Amended and Restated LLC Agreement of WUP was adopted, which granted MIP LLC limited liability company interests corresponding to outstanding vested WUP profits interests that enable members of MIP LLC, subject to certain restrictions, to exchange their vested WUP profits interests before July 13, 2031 for cash or a corresponding number of shares of Common Stock, at the option of Wheels Up, based on the value of such WUP profits interests relative to their applicable participation threshold.

The decision of whether to exchange WUP profits interests for cash or Common Stock is made solely at the discretion of Wheels Up. Accordingly, the WUP profits interests held by MIP LLC are treated as permanent equity and changes in the ownership interest of MIP LLC are accounted for as equity transactions. Future exchanges of WUP profits interests, which would also reduce the WUP limited liability company interests corresponding to MIP LLC and result in the issuance of a number of shares of Common Stock depending on the applicable participation threshold and the applicable price per share of Common Stock, will reduce the amount recorded as Non-controlling interests and increase Additional paid-in-capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

------

The calculation of Non-controlling interests was as follows:

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 30, 2025** | **September 30, 2025** | **December 31, 2024** | **December 31, 2024** |
| Number of WUP common units held by Wheels Up<sup>(1)</sup> | 720346459 | 100.0% | 697902646 | 100.0% |
| Number of vested WUP profits interests attributable to non-controlling interests<sup>(2)</sup> |  | —% |  | —% |
| Total WUP common units and vested WUP profits interests outstanding | 720346459 | 100.0% | 697902646 | 100.0% |

---

__________________

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;WUP common units represent an equivalent ownership of Common Stock outstanding.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Based on the closing price of Common Stock on the last trading day of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, there would have been no WUP common units issuable upon conversion of vested and unvested WUP profits interests outstanding as of September 30, 2025.

Weighted-average ownership percentages are used to allocate Net loss to Wheels Up and the non-controlling interest holders. The non-controlling interests weighted-average ownership percentage was nil for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

**13. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES**

The Company has contractual obligations and commitments, primarily in the form of obligations to provide future services for which we have already received deferred revenue (see <u>[Note 2](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_43)</u>), lease arrangements (see <u>[Note 9](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_67)</u>), repayment of long-term debt (see <u>[Note 7](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_61)</u>), legal proceedings, and sales and use tax liability.

***Legal Proceedings***

From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, as of the date of this Quarterly Report the Company does not believe that the outcome of any of these matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

*GRP Litigation*

On July 5, 2023, the Company filed a lawsuit against Exclusive Jets, LLC d/b/a flyExclusive, a subsidiary of flyExclusive, Inc. ("FE"), in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ("NY Federal Court"), which was re-filed against FE in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in New York County ("NY State Court") on August 23, 2023. The Company instituted the action to enforce its rights and remedies for wrongful termination by FE of the Fleet Guaranteed Revenue Program Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, between WUP and FE (the "GRP Agreement"). On June 30, 2023, FE notified the Company in writing of its immediate termination of the GRP Agreement. The Company believes that FE wrongfully terminated such agreement in breach thereof. The Company is seeking compensatory damages, including the return of material deposits held by FE under the GRP Agreement that were recorded in Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as well as attorneys' fees and costs.

Following remand to the NY State Court after removal to the NY Federal Court by FE, on April 9, 2025, FE filed in the NY State Court an answer and its defenses to the Company's claims, as well as counterclaims for amounts it claims it is owed under the GRP Agreement. On July 23, 2025, the Company filed a motion to amend and proposed amended complaint against FE in NY State Court (the "Amended Complaint"), which included, among other things, additional breach of contract claims and added Thomas James Segrave Jr., FE's founder and Chief Executive Officer, as a defendant for a claim based on piercing the corporate veil. On September 9, 2025, FE and Mr. Segrave filed their answer and affirmative defenses to the Company's Amended Complaint, FE reasserted counterclaims for amounts it claims it is owed under the GRP Agreement, and FE filed a motion to dismiss on

------

jurisdictional grounds, to which the Company filed its answer, defenses and opposition on October 22, 2025. The parties are actively engaged in the discovery process.

The Company intends to vigorously pursue the action to recover the outstanding deposits and other damages from FE and defend against any related counterclaims, but there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the dispute with FE. The Company's success in recovering the amounts from FE will depend on several factors, including the availability of funds by FE for the recoverable amounts. The Company is in the process of evaluating the effects of the foregoing events and it cannot make a reasonable estimate of any outcome, recovery or loss at this time.

***Sales and Use Tax Liability***

The Company regularly provides services to members in various states within the continental U.S., which may create sales and use tax nexus via temporary presence, potentially requiring the payment of these taxes. The Company determined that there is uncertainty as to what constitutes nexus in respective states for a state to levy taxes, fees and surcharges relating to its activity. As of each of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company estimated the potential exposure to such tax liability was $5.5 million, the expense for which was included in Accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

**14. RELATED PARTIES**

The Company engages in transactions with certain stockholders who are also members, ambassadors or customers. Such transactions primarily relate to their membership in the Wheels Up program, flights and flight-related services.

The Company incurred expenses of nil and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and nil and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, from transactions related to the Original CCA or Amended CCA, as applicable, with Delta. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, $2.6 million and $2.4 million, respectively, were included in Accrued expenses and Accounts payable on the condensed consolidated balance sheet related to transactions associated with the Original CCA and Amended CCA, as applicable, with Delta.

**15. INCOME TAXES**

We are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes with respect to our allocable share of any taxable income or loss from WUP, as well as any standalone income or loss Wheels Up generates. WUP is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal and most applicable state and local income tax purposes and generally does not pay income taxes in most jurisdictions. Instead, any taxable income or loss generated by WUP is passed through to and included in the taxable income or loss of its members, including Wheels Up. We are also subject to income taxes in the various foreign jurisdictions in which we operate.

We recorded an income tax expense of $1.3 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and income tax expense of $0.4 million and $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate was (1.6)% and (0.9)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, and (0.7)% and (0.3)% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 differs from the federal statutory rate of 21%, primarily due to a full valuation allowance against the majority of our net deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized and geographical mix of our earnings.

We currently expect the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries to be indefinitely reinvested. Accordingly, the Company has not provided for the tax effect, if any, of limited outside basis differences of its foreign subsidiaries. If these foreign earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if the Company determines that such

------

earnings are repatriated to the U.S., or if the Company determines that such earnings will be remitted in a future period, additional tax provisions may be required.

We evaluate the realizability of our deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis and establish valuation allowances when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets may not be realized. In making such a determination, we consider all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, and tax-planning strategies. As of September 30, 2025, we concluded, based on the weight of all available positive and negative evidence, that it is more likely than not that the majority of U.S. deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, a valuation allowance has been established on the majority of our net deferred tax assets in the U.S.

In general, under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (as amended, the "Code"), a corporation that undergoes an "ownership change" is subject to limitations on its ability to utilize its pre-change net operating losses ("NOLs") or tax credits to offset future taxable income or taxes. As a result of the Initial Issuance, the Company experienced an ownership change for the purpose of Section 382 of the Code during the third quarter of 2023 that will limit the availability of our tax attributes to offset future income. Our NOLs and tax attributes are currently subject to a full valuation allowance. Accordingly, the limitation did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has issued Pillar Two model rules introducing a new global minimum tax of 15% intended to be effective on January 1, 2024. While the U.S. has not yet adopted the Pillar Two rules, various other governments around the world have implemented the legislation, including jurisdictions in which certain of Wheels Up's subsidiaries operate, and many other jurisdictions are in the process of implementing it. The Company continues to monitor the pending implementation of Pillar Two by individual countries and the potential effects of Pillar Two on our business. The Pillar Two rules became effective in 2024, and did not have a materially adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

On July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law in the U.S., which contains a broad range of tax reform provisions affecting businesses. We are evaluating the full effects of the legislation on our estimated annual effective tax rate and cash tax position. Due to the full valuation allowance, the legislation changes do not have a material impact on our financial statements for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

Additionally, the Company is subject to the income tax effects associated with the Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income ("GILTI") provisions and treats the tax effects of GILTI as a current period expense in the period incurred.

**16. NET LOSS PER SHARE**

The following table sets forth the computation of Basic and diluted net loss per share (in thousands, except per share data):

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **2025** | **2024** |
| **Numerator:** |  |  |  |  |
| Net loss attributable to Wheels Up Experience Inc. - basic and diluted | $(83730) | $(57731) | $(265342) | $(252097) |
| **Denominator:** |  |  |  |  |
| Weighted-average shares of Common Stock outstanding - basic and diluted | 703813424 | 697721699 | 700889734 | 697575821 |
| Basic and diluted net loss per share of Common Stock | $(0.12) | $(0.08) | $(0.38) | $(0.36) |

---

There were no dividends declared or paid during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Basic and diluted net loss per share were computed using the two-class method.

WUP profits interests held by members of MIP LLC are not subject to the net loss per share calculation until such time that vested WUP profits interests are actually exchanged for shares of Common Stock.

The shares of Common Stock issuable under the Executive Performance Plans upon satisfaction of the performance- and service-based vesting conditions, if at all, are not subject to the net loss per share calculation until such time that such shares of Common Stock are actually issued to the applicable grantee. The exact number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Executive Performance Plans will not be readily determinable until the first Determination Date following a Repayment Event and at each successive Determination Date thereafter through the Final Determination Date. There can be no assurance that both the performance- and service-based vesting conditions will be satisfied or that the foregoing variables will result in the vesting and issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any Executive Performance Plan (see <u>[Note 10](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_70)</u>).

The following securities were not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding, because the effect would be anti-dilutive, and issuance of such shares is contingent upon the satisfaction of certain conditions which were not satisfied by the end of the period:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **September 30,** | **September 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Warrants<sup>(1)</sup> | 1252149 | 1252149 |
| Earnout Shares | 900000 | 900000 |
| RSUs and PSUs | 20625615 | 6107269 |
| Stock options | 880448 | 949637 |
| Total anti-dilutive securities | 23658212 | 9209055 |

---

__________________

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase 1/10th of one share of Common Stock at a price of $115.00 per whole share of Common Stock. The number of shares of Common Stock listed in the table above for the Warrants reflects the maximum number of shares issuable upon full exercise of all Warrants as of the end of the period (see <u>[Note 11](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_76)</u>).

**ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS**

*The following management's discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations ("MD&A") should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in <u>[Part I, Item 1](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_13)</u> "Financial Statements" of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2025 (this "Quarterly Report") and our audited consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 8 "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("Annual Report"). This discussion contains forward-looking statements which involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" included in this Quarterly Report. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this MD&A section to "Wheels Up," "we," "us," "our," and "the Company" are intended to mean the business and operations of Wheels Up Experience Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries for all periods discussed.*

**Overview of Our Business**

Wheels Up is a leading provider of on-demand private aviation in the U.S. and one of the largest companies in the industry. Wheels Up offers a complete global private aviation solution with a large, diverse aircraft fleet, backed by an uncompromising commitment to safety and service. Our offering is delivered through a mix of charter and membership programs that strategically utilize our controlled aircraft fleet and global network of safety-vetted charter operators to deliver a greater range of global travel alternatives. In addition, our first-of-its-kind partnership with Delta Air Lines, Inc. ("Delta") provides our members and customers with a seamless offering across both private and premium commercial travel.

We offer numerous services to our members, customers and industry partners, and generate the majority of our revenue from member and customer flights, whether as part of Wheels Up's membership program or charter solutions. We generate Membership revenue from fees paid for Wheels Up's membership program, which provides members with access to our large, diverse controlled aircraft fleet. We also generate Other revenue from primarily non-member facing activities and services that complement our core private aviation business, including, but not limited to, group charter flights, cargo flights and special missions. Due to the nature of the services that we provide, we have determined that we operate as one reportable segment, which is private aviation services. Our flight operations are typically favorably affected by increased utilization of our aircraft and generally higher levels of charter activity in the summer months and close in time to major holidays.

*Wheels Up Membership*. In early September 2025, we announced the Wheels Up Signature Membership, an evolution enabled by our fleet modernization strategy that provides members access to our Bombardier Challenger 300 series and Embraer Phenom 300 series aircraft, in addition to our legacy aircraft fleet. The Wheels Up Signature Membership is designed to give our members flexibility, certainty and premium benefits that make flying simpler and more rewarding. Wheels Up Signature Members pay a small monthly fee and purchase a fund as an advance for the cost of future flight services and other incidental costs, such as catering and ground transportation ("Membership Funds" and formerly referred to as "Prepaid Blocks"). The Wheels Up Signature Membership unlocks increased flexibility, allowing our members to choose between the Dynamic Access Plan, which provides discounted, dynamically priced hourly rates, and the Fixed Access Plan, which provides predictability and consistency in hourly rates to private fliers. Each access plan includes guaranteed availability and recovery for flights in the Contiguous U.S., within 225 miles of the Canada and Mexico borders, and for select destinations, such as the Bahamas and Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Our first-of-its-kind partnership with Delta gives Wheels Up members the opportunity to earn Delta SkyMiles® Diamond Medallion® status based on their qualifying Wheels Up spend and use Membership Funds to purchase discounted Delta flights and receive other benefits with Delta, in each case subject to certain terms and conditions. We also continue to provide Custom Enterprise Solutions to larger corporate customers.

We continue to offer and serve members under membership programs related to our legacy aircraft fleets in accordance with their terms. We have provided those existing members with a streamlined on-ramp to the Wheels Up Signature Membership and access to our Bombardier Challenger 300 series and Embraer Phenom 300 series aircraft. As we continue to scale those fleets, we expect an increasing percentage of Membership Funds purchased

------

by prospective and existing members will be for the Wheels Up Signature Membership product versus products focused on our legacy aircraft fleets.

*Charter Up*. For travelers who are looking to pay as they go, Wheels Up's charter solutions allow members and customers to book charter trips with no upfront costs. Wheels Up's charter solutions are a portfolio of global solutions that leverage the capabilities of our domestic and global charter teams. We offer options to suit virtually every charter need through our international network of trusted partners. Our charter offerings customize the member and customer experience for short- or long-haul flights with bespoke private jet arrangements or group charters, including for commercial-size charters with large passenger groups of 15 or more, sports teams, global corporate events and tour operations. Wheels Up's charter solutions complement Wheels Up's membership programs and provide a leading solution for members and customers wishing to fly globally through attractive market-based pricing and personalized alternatives.

*Our Fleet Modernization Strategy & Progress Update*. Wheels Up has one of the largest and most diverse mixes of available aircraft in the industry. We utilize our controlled aircraft fleet to support both Wheels Up's membership programs and charter flights depending on the specific mission. We maintain a growing global network of safety-vetted charter operators, which must continually satisfy our safety standards for aircraft, crew and operations. Together, our controlled aircraft fleet and global network of third-party charter operators position us to provide our members and customers the ability to select a mode of travel that works for their specific needs.

In the first year since we announced our current fleet modernization strategy, we made substantial progress to advance our transformation, which we expect will result in the transition from the operation of four legacy private jet models — Hawker 400XP and Cessna Citation CJ3, X and Excel/XLS aircraft — to two different private jet models — Bombardier Challenger 300 series and Embraer Phenom 300 series aircraft, while continuing to operate a smaller King Air 350i fleet. We introduced our first Embraer Phenom 300 series and Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft into our controlled fleet in November 2024 and April 2025, respectively. By the end of 2025, we expect that approximately 50% of our controlled jet fleet will consist of Bombardier Challenger 300 series and Embraer Phenom 300 series premium aircraft.

As of September 30, 2025, our controlled aircraft fleet consisted of:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Category** | **Owned** | **Leased** | **Total** |
| *Premium Jets:* |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Bombardier Challenger 300/350 | 3 | 2 | 5 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Embraer Phenom 300/350 | 18 | 1 | 19 |
| *Large Jets:* |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gulfstream G-IVSP |  | 2 | 2 |
| *Super-Midsize Jets:* |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cessna Citation X |  | 23 | 23 |
| *Midsize Jets:* |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cessna Citation Excel/XLS | 9 | 3 | 12 |
| *Light Jets:* |  |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cessna Citation CJ3 |  | 2 | 2 |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Hawker 400XP | 16 | 4 | 20 |
| **Total Jets** | **46** | **37** | **83** |
| Turboprops<sup>(1)</sup> | 35 |  | 35 |
| **Total Aircraft** | **81** | **37** | **118** |

---

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Consists of Beechcraft and Textron King Air 350i aircraft.

------

To achieve our fleet transition, we expect to engage in strategic acquisitions, dispositions and leases of aircraft as we continue the orderly divestiture of legacy private jet models and scale our premium jet fleets. In the first quarter of 2025, we sold our fleet of owned Cessna Citation X aircraft to an unrelated third-party buyer, entered into leases for a portion of the sold aircraft and amended existing Cessna Citation X leases with the same buyer. In the second quarter of 2025, we retired our legacy Cessna Citation CJ3 fleet from revenue service and expect to return our last leased aircraft of that model to the lessor by the end of 2025. In the third quarter of 2025, we sold seven of our owned Hawker 400 XP aircraft to an unrelated third-party buyer and entered into short-term leases for a portion of the aircraft sold. We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, including cash received from any sales of our owned aircraft, operating cash flows, available borrowings under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility (as defined below), and the execution of strategic transactions in the future, such as potential acquisitions of private aviation operators, strategic leasing arrangements or additional debt or equity financings, will provide us the flexibility to opportunistically transform our controlled aircraft fleet to achieve our fleet modernization strategy.

**Recent Developments**

***Signature Membership Launch***

In early September 2025, we launched the Wheels Up Signature Membership that provides our members access to our Bombardier Challenger 300 series and Embraer Phenom 300 series aircraft, in addition to our legacy aircraft fleet. This latest membership program is a direct result of the scale we have built and expect to continue building through execution of our fleet modernization strategy. Details about the Wheels Up Signature Membership are included under the caption "Wheels Up Membership" above.

***Update on Efficiency, Productivity and Cost Reduction Initiatives***

We are in the process of implementing initiatives that are expected to drive approximately $70 million in annual cash cost savings following implementation through the efficiency, productivity and overhead cost reduction actions associated with our fleet modernization plan and other actions over the next several quarters. We recently identified additional cost savings opportunities expected to deliver an incremental $20 million in annual cash cost savings on top of our original $50 million estimate announced on August 7, 2025. We anticipate that we will realize a portion of the expected savings on a rolling basis as actions, including those described below, are taken, with the full impact of the anticipated cost savings expected to be reflected in our financial results beginning in the third quarter of 2026 relative to a second quarter of 2025 baseline.

Our efficiency, productivity and overhead cost reduction actions are ongoing and during the third quarter of 2025 included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• rationalizing our maintenance footprint and headcount at our Palm Beach International Airport (Florida) and Teterboro Airport (New Jersey) locations as we continue to transition to Bombardier Challenger 300 series and Embraer Phenom 300 series aircraft that have historically been more operationally reliable than our legacy aircraft fleets; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• further streamlining our business by selling three non-core services businesses - Baines Simmons, Kenyon International Emergency Services and Redline Assured Security (collectively, the "Non-Core Services Businesses") - to an unrelated third party.

We are also in the process of unifying the Wheels Up and Air Partner brands and commercial teams, with the intent to deliver personalized service and customer engagement across our offerings. As we work to integrate the Wheels Up and Air Partner sales teams in the coming months, we anticipate a shift to a "trusted advisor" model selling tailored aviation solutions across our membership program, global charter and hybrid travel connected to Delta.

------

***At-the-Market Common Stock Offering Program***

On August 29, 2025, we entered into an ATM Equity Offering<sup>SM</sup> Sales Agreement (the "ATM Sales Agreement") with BofA Securities, Inc. and Jefferies LLC (each, a "Sales Agent" and together, the "Sales Agents"), pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $50.0 million of our Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), through the Sales Agents (the "ATM Program"). This Quarterly Report is not an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy shares of Common Stock under the ATM Program, nor shall there be an offer, solicitation or sale of such shares of Common Stock in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such state.

***Key Investor Lock-Up Extension***

On September 21, 2025 (the "Amendment Date"), we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Investment and Investor Rights Agreement (the "Third Investor Rights Agreement Amendment"), with each of Delta, CK Wheels LLC ("CK Wheels"), Cox Investment Holdings, LLC ("CIH" and, collectively with Delta and CK Wheels, the "Lead Investors"), and each of Kore Air LLC, Pandora Select Partners, L.P., Whitebox GT Fund, LP, Whitebox Multi-Strategy Partners, L.P., Whitebox Relative Value Partners, L.P. (collectively, the "Additional Investors" and, collectively with the Lead Investors, the "Investors"), to amend and extend, among others, certain transfer restrictions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, dated September 20, 2023, by and among, us and the Investors (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of November 15, 2023, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of September 22, 2024, as further amended by the Third Investor Rights Agreement Amendment, and the joinders to such agreement, collectively, the "Investor Rights Agreement"). Pursuant to the Third Investor Rights Agreement Amendment: (i) the Lead Investors agreed to extend the lock-up restriction applicable to all of their shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement ("Investor Shares") through May 22, 2026 (the "Extended Lock-Up Expiration"), subject to limited exceptions for transfers to Permitted Transferees (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement); and (ii) the Additional Investors agreed to extend the lock-up restriction with respect to 29% of their Investor Shares through January 2, 2026, subject to limited exceptions for transfers to Permitted Transferees; provided, that any transfers or sales of Investor Shares held by the Additional Investors after the Amendment Date and until the Extended Lock-Up Expiration may not occur during specified periods, are subject to certain volume limitations and may not be at a price less than the minimum price per share, in each case as specified in the Third Investor Rights Agreement Amendment. Pursuant to the Third Investor Rights Agreement Amendment, approximately 86.4% and 83.6% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the Amendment Date will remain subject to a lock-up restriction until January 2, 2026 and May 22, 2026, respectively.

On the Amendment Date, the holders that collectively beneficially own in excess of 66.67% of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of September 20, 2023, by and among the Company and the equity holders set forth on Schedule 1 thereto) extended the deadline by which we must file an initial shelf registration statement to register the Investor Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to May 22, 2026.

***Extension of Revolving Credit Facility Availability Period***

As previously announced, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Credit Agreement, dated April 30, 2025 (the "Third Credit Agreement Amendment"), by and among the Company, as borrower, the other Loan Parties (as defined herein) party thereto, as guarantors, Delta and the Agent (as defined herein), pursuant to which Delta extended the period during which the $100.0 million Revolving Credit Facility (as defined herein) is available to be drawn to September 20, 2026. As of each of September 30, 2025 and the date of this Quarterly Report, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

------

***Share Repurchase Program***

As previously announced, on April 30, 2025, our Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the repurchase by Wheels Up from time to time of up to $10.0 million of shares of Common Stock (the "Share Repurchase Program"). Repurchases of shares of Common Stock by us may be made from time to time at management's discretion using a variety of methods, including open market purchases or other privately negotiated transactions. The Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time in the Board's discretion.

**Non-GAAP Financial Measures**

In addition to our results of operations below, we report certain key financial measures that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition, and not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to any performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful supplemental information to investors about Wheels Up. However, there are certain limitations related to the use of these non-GAAP financial measures and their nearest GAAP measures, including that they exclude significant expenses that are required to be recorded in Wheels Up's financial measures under GAAP. Other companies may calculate non-GAAP financial measures differently or may use other measures to calculate their financial performance, and therefore, our non-GAAP financial measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

***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, (v) Acquisition and integration related expenses and (vi) other items not indicative of our ongoing operating performance, including but not limited to, restructuring charges. 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 and for the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To be used in conjunction with bonus program target achievement determinations, strategic internal planning, annual budgeting, allocating resources and making operating decisions; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To provide useful information for historical period-to-period comparisons of our business, as each measure removes 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 effects of financing in general and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions of aircraft, which may be acquired outright, acquired subject to acquisition debt, including under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, by capital lease or by operating lease, each of which may vary significantly between periods and results in a different accounting presentation.

***Adjusted Contribution and Adjusted Contribution Margin***

We calculate Adjusted Contribution as Gross profit (loss) excluding Depreciation and amortization and adjusted further for equity-based compensation included in Cost of revenue and other items included in Cost of revenue that are not indicative of our ongoing operating performance. Adjusted Contribution Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted Contribution by total revenue. We include Adjusted Contribution and Adjusted Contribution Margin as supplemental measures for assessing operating performance and for the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To be used to understand our ability to achieve profitability over time through scale and leveraging costs; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To provide useful information for historical period-to-period comparisons of our business and to identify trends.

The following table reconciles Adjusted Contribution to Gross profit (loss), which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure (in thousands):

***Key Operating Metrics***

In addition to financial measures, we regularly review certain key operating metrics to evaluate our business, determine the allocation of resources and make decisions regarding business strategies. We believe that these metrics can be useful for understanding the underlying trends in our business.

The following table summarizes our key operating metrics:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | |
| | **2025** | **2024** | **% Change** |

(1)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amount shown in thousands.

(2)&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the three months ended September 30, 2025, Utility for the Embraer Phenom 300 series, Bombardier Challenger 300 series and legacy fleet aircraft in our controlled fleet were 56, 53 and 40 hours, respectively. We did not have any Embraer Phenom 300 series or Bombardier Challenger 300 series aircraft in our controlled fleet during the three months ended September 30, 2024, and Utility for that period reflects the legacy fleet aircraft that we operated during that period.

*Total Gross Bookings and Private Jet Gross Bookings*

We define Total Gross Bookings as the total gross spend by our members and customers on all private jet flight services under our membership program and charter offerings, all group charter flights, which are charter flights with 15 or more passengers ("Group Charter Flights"), and all cargo flight services ("Cargo Services"). We believe Total Gross Bookings 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 our membership program and charter offerings (excluding Group Charter Flights and Cargo

------

Services). We believe Private Jet Gross Bookings provides 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 amount invoiced to the member or customer and includes the cost of the flight and related services, such as catering, ground transportation, certain taxes, fees and surcharges. We use Total Gross Bookings and Private Jet Gross Bookings to provide useful information for historical period-to-period comparisons of our business and to identify trends, including relative to our competitors. Our calculation of Total Gross Bookings and Private Jet Gross Bookings may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

*Live Flight Legs*

We define Live Flight Legs as the number of completed one-way revenue generating private jet flight legs in the applicable period, excluding empty repositioning legs and owner legs related to aircraft under management. We believe Live Flight Legs is a useful metric to measure 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 gross spend by our members and customers on all private jet flight services under our membership program and charter offerings (excluding Group Charter Flights and Cargo Services) for each Live Flight Leg.

*Utility*

We define Utility for the applicable period as the total revenue generating flight hours flown on our controlled aircraft fleet, excluding empty repositioning legs, divided by the monthly average number of available aircraft in our controlled aircraft fleet. Utility is expressed as a monthly average. We measure the revenue generating flight hours for a given flight on our controlled aircraft as the actual flight time from takeoff to landing. We determine the number of aircraft in our controlled aircraft fleet available for revenue generating flights at the end of the applicable month and exclude aircraft then classified as held for sale. We use Utility to measure the efficiency of our operations, our ability 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 (D-60)*

We define On-Time Performance (D-60) as the percentage of total flights flown that departed within 60 minutes of the scheduled time, inclusive of air traffic control, weather, maintenance and customer delays, excluding all cancelled flights.

Beginning with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we changed the presentation of Completion Rate and On-Time Performance (D-60) to include wholesale flights, which we believe better aligns those metrics to information that we use internally to evaluate our operations and reported Live Flight Legs, which includes wholesale flights. Completion Rate and On-Time Performance (D-60) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 reported in the table above includes wholesale flights, which were previously excluded from such metrics in the Company's filings with the SEC beginning with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2024 through and including our Annual Report. Completion Rate and On-Time Performance (D-60) reported in the Company's previously filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2024, which excluded wholesale flight activity, were 98% and 82%, respectively.

***Revenue***

Revenue decreased for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, as follows (in thousands).

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Three Months Ended September 30,** | **Change in** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | $**%** |
| Membership | $6313 | $13231 | (52)% |
| Flight | 155169 | 155355 | (0.1)% |
| Other | 24004 | 25317 | (5)% |
| Total | $185486 | $193903 | (4)% |

---

The decrease in Membership revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in members year-over-year due largely to streamlining our membership offering and shifting less frequent fliers to our charter offerings.

Flight revenue was relatively flat year-over-year, as the $14.4 million reduction attributable to a 9% decrease in Live Flight Legs year-over-year was substantially offset by a $14.2 million increase attributable to a 10% increase in Flight revenue per Live Flight Leg as a result of a greater mix of flights on larger and premium jets generally associated with higher hourly rates.

The decrease in Other revenue was primarily attributable to the absence of $1.4 million of residual aircraft management revenue. We divested the aircraft management business on September 30, 2023.

***Cost of Revenue***

Cost of revenue increased by $6.0 million, or 4%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a $11.3 million increase in third party operator spend, $8.7 million of one-time expenses related to certain costs incurred associated with exiting legacy private jet models, $2.4 million of headcount reduction costs aligned with our cost savings initiatives implemented in the third quarter of 2025 and a $2.3 million increase in non-cash charges related to the reserve for certain parts inventory deemed obsolete or in excess of forecasted demand for aircraft maintenance. The increases were partially offset by a $4.8 million decrease in aircraft lease costs, and a $3.5 million reduction in fuel cost and $2.0 million reduction in pilot travel costs, both driven by lower flight activity on our controlled fleet, and the absence of $1.0 million in FAA certificate consolidation-related expenses incurred in the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted Contribution Margin decreased 210 basis points for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to the realization of cost savings as a result of restructuring actions taken during fiscal year 2024 and other discrete cost and operational efficiency measures. See *"Non-GAAP Financial Measures"* above for a definition of Adjusted Contribution Margin, information regarding our use of Adjusted Contribution Margin and a reconciliation of Gross profit and Adjusted Contribution to Revenue.

***Other Operating Expenses***

*Technology and Development* 

Technology and development expenses increased by $0.6 million, or 6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to a higher mix of costs expensed in the period that were not eligible for capitalization, which resulted in a $1.3 million increase in expenses during the period. The increase was partially offset by a net $1.1 million decrease in enterprise software and other IT-related spend as a result of cost and operational efficiency actions.

------

*Sales and Marketing*

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 10%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to a $0.9 million increase in employee compensation and allocable costs due to increased headcount and a $0.9 million increase in events-related spend.

*General and Administrative*

General and administrative expenses increased by $4.9 million, or 18%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, attributable to a $4.8 million increase in equity-based compensation expense related to the Executive Performance Awards and RSUs (each as defined in <u>[Note 10](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_70)</u>).

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $1.4 million, or 12%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to aircraft purchases as we execute our fleet modernization strategy.

***Interest Income***

Interest income decreased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a decrease in cash equivalents held in money market funds and lower interest rates versus the prior year period.

***Interest Expense***

Interest expense increased $7.5 million, or 47%, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to paid-in-kind interest expense associated with the Term Loan and Credit Support Premium (as each is defined below).

***Other Expense, Net***

Other expense, net was relatively consistent for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2024.

***Revenue***

Revenue decreased for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as follows (in thousands).

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Change in** |
| | **2025** | **2024** | $**%** |
| Membership | $22976 | $46131 | (50)% |
| Flight | 461067 | 469968 | (2)% |
| Other | 68610 | 71190 | (4)% |
| Total | $552653 | $587289 | (6)% |

---

The decrease in Membership revenue was primarily driven by a decrease in members year-over-year as a result of streamlining our membership offering and shifting less frequent fliers to our charter offerings.

The decrease in Flight revenue was primarily driven by a $36.8 million reduction attributable to an 8% decrease in Live Flight Legs year-over-year, which was partially offset by a $27.9 million increase attributable to a 6% increase in Flight Revenue per Live Flight Leg as a result of a greater mix of flights on larger and premium jets generally associated with higher hourly rates.

The decrease in Other revenue was primarily attributable to the absence of $7.6 million of residual aircraft management revenue. The decrease was also attributable to a $2.4 million decrease in ground services revenue following the sale of our fixed-base operator activities in the first quarter of 2025 and a $1.2 million decrease in sales of inventory aircraft following our decision to reduce our focus on whole aircraft sales after the first quarter of 2024. The decreases were partially offset by higher revenue from group charter and cargo flights.

***Cost of Revenue***

Cost of revenue decreased by $51.6 million, or 9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. In addition to the general decrease attributable to the decrease in Flight and Other revenue noted above, the decrease in Cost of revenue was primarily driven by the realization of the benefits of our cost and operational efficiency actions, including a $26.2 million reduction in employee compensation and allocable costs driven by reduced headcount, inclusive of the absence of $3.9 million of restructuring charges associated with certain actions taken during the second quarter of 2024, a $12.4 million decrease in fuel cost due in part to lower fuel prices, a $12.3 million decrease in aircraft lease costs and a $6.7 million reduction in pilot travel costs. The decrease is also attributable to the absence of $4.5 million in FAA certificate consolidation-related expense in the first nine months of 2024 and $1.9 million incurred in 2024 related to establishing our Atlanta Member Operations Center. The decreases were partially offset by $19.5 million of expenses related to our fleet modernization strategy, a $13.4 million increase in third party operator spend, and a $2.4 million of headcount reduction costs aligned with our cost and operational efficiency initiatives announced in the third quarter of 2025.

Adjusted Contribution Margin increased 470 basis points for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to the realization of cost savings as a result of restructuring actions taken during fiscal year 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2025, and other discrete cost and operational efficiency measures. See *"Non-GAAP Financial Measures"* above for a definition of Adjusted Contribution Margin, information regarding our use of Adjusted Contribution Margin and a reconciliation of Gross profit and Adjusted Contribution to Revenue.

------

***Other Operating Expenses***

*Technology and Development* 

Technology and development expenses decreased by $1.2 million, or 4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to a $2.7 million decrease in enterprise software and other IT-related spend as a result of cost and operational efficiency actions. The decrease was partially offset by a higher mix of costs expensed in the period that were not eligible for capitalization, which resulted in a $1.6 million increase in expenses during the period.

*Sales and Marketing*

Sales and marketing expenses increased by $5.7 million, or 9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to a $4.5 million increase in employee compensation and allocable costs due to increased headcount and a $2.7 million increase in advertising, media and marketing events-related spend. The increases were partially offset by the absence of a $1.6 million one-time charge to terminate a consultancy agreement during the first quarter of 2024 and a $0.6 million reduction in spend on marketing flights and partnership-related expenses.

*General and Administrative*

General and administrative expenses increased by $19.8 million, or 20%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a by a one-time $20.2 million non-cash, pre-tax right-of-use asset impairment charge associated with vacating our former New York City corporate office space during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (see <u>[Note 9](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_67)</u>) and a $1.3 million increase in equity-based compensation expense related to the Executive Performance Awards and RSUs (each as defined in <u>[Note 10](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_70)</u>). The increase was partially offset by the absence of a $1.3 million charge to bad debt expense associated with certain aged receivables related to the aircraft management business sold in the third quarter of 2023 that were recorded during first quarter of 2024, a $1.4 million reduction in consulting spend and the absence of $1.0 million in spend related to strategic planning activities in the prior year period.

*Depreciation and Amortization*

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $4.2 million, or 10%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by a one-time impairment of certain leasehold improvements and furniture and fixtures associated with vacating our former New York City corporate office space (see <u>[Note 9](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_67)</u>). The increase was also driven by aircraft purchases as we execute our fleet modernization strategy.

***Interest Income***

Interest income increased by $1.4 million, for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily driven by an increase in the average amount of cash equivalents held in money market funds versus the prior year period.

***Interest Expense***

Interest expense increased $18.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily attributable to paid-in-kind interest expense associated with the Term Loan and Credit Support Premium (each as defined below).

***Other Expense, Net***

Other expense, net was relatively consistent for nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

------

**Liquidity and Capital Resources**

***Overview and Liquidity Outlook***

Our principal sources of liquidity have historically consisted of financing activities, including proceeds from debt financing transactions and the ATM Program, and operating activities, primarily from deferred revenue associated with the sale of Membership Funds. As of September 30, 2025, we had $125.3 million of Cash and cash equivalents and $30.5 million of Restricted cash, and our long-term debt obligations consisted primarily of approximately $282.4 million aggregate principal amount outstanding of Revolving Equipment Notes (as defined below) and approximately $484.2 million aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan (as defined below), inclusive of capitalized paid-in-kind interest and approximately $7.0 million aggregate principal amount outstanding in connection with the Credit Support Premium (as defined below) portion of the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below). In addition, we had a working capital deficit of $639.2 million as of September 30, 2025, and Net cash used in operating activities was $147.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See the caption titled "Our obligations in connection with our contractual agreements, including operating leases and debt financing obligations, could impair our liquidity and thereby harm our business, results of operations and financial condition" in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report for more information about our contractual obligations.

Pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined below), Delta has provided a commitment for the Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate original principal amount of $100.0 million, which may be drawn under certain circumstances and is subject to liquidity-driven repayment conditions. As of each of September 30, 2025 and the date of this Quarterly Report, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to Delta's $100.0 million commitment, which remains available to be drawn through September 20, 2026. See "*Sources and Uses of Liquidity—Long-Term Debt—Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility*" below for more information about the Revolving Credit Facility.

We expect to meet our liquidity needs for the next 12 months with a combination of cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operations, strategic dispositions of underutilized assets, proceeds from borrowings under the Revolving Equipment Notes, if needed and depending on market conditions, sales of shares of Common Stock under the ATM Program or other equity financings, and, if needed and to the extent available to be drawn, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to Delta's $100.0 million commitment. Our ability to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs will depend on, among others, our ability to generate cash flows from operations and enter into additional or alternate financing arrangements.

***Sources and Uses of Liquidity***

*Long-Term Debt*

The terms of our material long-term debt arrangements are summarized below. See <u>[Note 7](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_61)</u>, Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report for more information about the Revolving Equipment Notes, Credit Support Premium, Term Loan and Revolving Credit Facility (as each term is defined below).

<u>Revolving Equipment Notes Facility</u>

In November 2024, Wheels Up Partners LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company ("WUP LLC"), entered into a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 13, 2024 (the "Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date" and such agreement, the "2024 Note Purchase Agreement"), with Wilmington Trust, National Association, as subordination agent and trustee, and Wheels Up Class A-1 Loan Trust 2024-1, a Delaware statutory trust (the "2024-1 Trust"), which provides for the revolving issuance from time to time by WUP LLC of Series A-1 equipment notes (the "Revolving Equipment Notes") in an aggregate principal amount up to $332.0 million (the "Revolving Equipment Notes Facility"). The Revolving Equipment Notes mature on November 13, 2029 (the "Revolving Equipment Notes Maturity Date"). The Revolving Equipment Notes bear interest at the variable rate of the then applicable three-month secured overnight funds rate ("SOFR") plus 1.75% per annum on and after the Initial Revolving Equipment Notes Closing Date and to November 13, 2027 (the "Availability Period"), SOFR plus

------

2.25% immediately after the end of the Availability Period to November 13, 2028, and SOFR plus 2.75% from November 13, 2028 to the Revolving Equipment Notes Maturity Date, with annual amortization of principal amount equal to 10% per annum through the end of the Availability Period and 12% per annum thereafter to the Revolving Equipment Notes Maturity Date. Interest on the Revolving Equipment Notes is payable quarterly on February 15, May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year, which began on February 15, 2025, and on the Revolving Equipment Notes Maturity Date. Principal payments on the Revolving Equipment Notes are scheduled for payment on the same dates as interest payments. WUP LLC must also pay a customary commitment fee on unused amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Equipment Note Facility.

Pursuant to the 2024 Note Purchase Agreement, any amounts of principal repaid by WUP LLC prior to the Availability Period, either through regular principal amortization payments or from the early redemption of principal amounts related to any aircraft secured by the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, will become available to be reborrowed by WUP LLC for the purchase of additional aircraft to be secured by such facility during the Availability Period, subject to certain conditions. WUP LLC may redeem any Revolving Equipment Note in connection with the sale of an aircraft that constitutes Revolving Equipment Notes Collateral (as defined in <u>[Note 7](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_61)</u>, Long-Term Debt in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) or otherwise, at any time, and is not required to pay any prepayment premiums in connection with such early redemptions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, WUP LLC redeemed in-full the Revolving Equipment Notes for 19 aircraft, which reduced the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility by $45.3 million, and issued new Revolving Equipment Notes for four aircraft in the aggregate principal amount of $33.9 million. As of September 30, 2025, approximately $282.4 million aggregate principal amount of Revolving Equipment Notes were outstanding, approximately $49.6 million was available to be borrowed under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility to fund future aircraft acquisitions and the carrying value of the 81 aircraft that were subject to first-priority liens under outstanding Revolving Equipment Notes was $292.9 million.

<u>Credit Support</u>

In connection with the initial closing of the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, Delta agreed to provide credit support for the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, which effectively guarantees WUP LLC's payment obligations thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of specified events of default, in exchange for an annual fee as a percentage of the aggregate principal amounts drawn under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility that is payable-in-kind by the Company and accrues interest over the life of the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility (the "Credit Support Premium"). The Credit Support Premium constitutes a revolving loan payable to Delta under the Revolving Credit Facility. Amounts in respect of the Credit Support Premium accrue while the Revolving Equipment Notes are outstanding and include interest that is compounded and capitalized on the last day of each calendar quarter; however, any such accrued amounts do not reduce Delta's $100.0 million commitment available to be borrowed by the Company from time to time under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Support Premium will become due and payable in-full upon the earlier of repayment and extinguishment of the Revolving Equipment Note Facility and the termination of Delta's obligation to provide credit support for the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility.

<u>Term Loan & Revolving Credit Facility</u>

The Company is party to a Credit Agreement, dated as of September 20, 2023 (as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of November 15, 2023, as further amended by Amendment No. 2 thereto, dated as of November 13, 2024, and as further amended by the Third Credit Agreement Amendment, the "Credit Agreement"), by and among the Company, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (collectively with the Company, the "Loan Parties"), Delta, CK Wheels LLC, Cox Investment Holdings LLC and certain other lenders party thereto from time to time (collectively, the "Lenders"), and U.S. Bank Trust Company, N.A., as administrative agent for the Lenders and as collateral agent for the secured parties (the "Agent"), pursuant to which as of September 30, 2025 (i) the Lenders have provided a term loan facility (the "Term Loan") in the aggregate original principal amount of $390.0 million and (ii) Delta has provided a commitment for a revolving loan facility (the

------

"Revolving Credit Facility" and together with the Term Loan, the "Credit Facility") in the aggregate original principal amount of $100.0 million, which remains available to be drawn through September 20, 2026.

The scheduled maturity date for the Term Loan is September 20, 2028, and the scheduled maturity date for the Revolving Credit Facility is the earlier of September 20, 2028 and the first date after September 20, 2026 on which all amounts owed under the Revolving Credit Facility have been repaid, subject in each case to earlier termination upon acceleration or termination of any obligations upon the occurrence and continuation of an event of default. Interest on the Term Loan and any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility (each, a "Loan" and, collectively, the "Loans") accrues at a rate of 10% per annum on the unpaid principal balance of the Loans then outstanding. Accrued interest on each Loan is payable-in-kind as compounded interest and capitalized to the principal amount of the applicable Loan on the last day of each of March, June, September and December each year, and the applicable maturity date.

As part of the Credit Facility, Delta has provided a commitment for the Revolving Credit Facility in the aggregate original principal amount of $100.0 million under the Credit Agreement. The $100.0 million commitment from Delta is separate and apart from the portion with respect to the Credit Support Premium. The Company may request to make borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility at any time through September 20, 2026 in an amount and to the extent that after giving pro forma effect to any borrowing thereunder, the Company's Unrestricted Cash Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will not exceed $100.0 million. The Company generally must promptly repay any borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility prior to maturity as follows: (i) at any time prior to September 20, 2026, to the extent the Unrestricted Cash Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than $100.0 million and (ii) on or after September 20, 2026 but prior to maturity, to the extent that the Unrestricted Cash Amount (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is greater than $125.0 million and if Consolidated Cash Flow (as defined in the Credit Agreement) has been positive for any fiscal quarter since September 20, 2023. As of each of September 30, 2025 and the date of this Quarterly Report, no amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to Delta's $100.0 million commitment.

*At-the-Market Common Stock Offering Program*

On August 29, 2025, the Company entered into the ATM Sales Agreement with the Sales Agents, pursuant to which the Company may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $50.0 million of Common Stock under the ATM Program. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 21,157,534 shares of Common Stock under the ATM Program for $49.4 million in aggregate gross proceeds, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $47.6 million after deducting sales commissions.

------

*Cash Flows*

The following table summarizes our cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** | **Nine Months Ended September 30,** |
| | **2025** | **2024** |
| Net cash used in operating activities | $(147926) | $(115814) |
| Net cash provided by investing activities | $43384 | $26058 |
| Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities | $11376 | $(52961) |
| Effect of exchange rate changes on Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash | $2476 | $(1274) |
| Net decrease in Cash and Cash equivalents and Restricted cash | $(90690) | $(143991) |

---

<u>Cash Flow from Operating Activities</u>

The cash outflow from operating activities consisted of our Net loss during the respective periods, net of non-cash items of $135.7 million and $106.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the balance from a general decrease in net operating assets and liabilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold $387.9 million of Membership Funds, which was a 4% decrease from the $405.3 million of Membership Funds sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to changes in our membership program offerings aimed at attracting and retaining higher spending, more frequent flyers. Membership Funds are generally non-refundable cash deposits that are accounted for as Deferred revenue until the time at which they are used by members or customers in accordance with the terms applicable to such Membership Fund.

<u>Cash Flow from Investing Activities</u>

The cash inflow from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to $84.4 million in proceeds from sales of aircraft that were classified as held for sale and $20.7 million in proceeds from the sale of the Non-Core Services Businesses. The cash inflows were partially offset by cash outflows of $62.9 million for capital expenditures, including $50.0 million related to fleet modernization and $9.1 million of capitalized software development costs.

<u>Cash Flow from Financing Activities</u>

The cash inflow from financing activities was primarily attributable to the issuance and sale of shares of Common Stock under the ATM Program for approximately $47.6 million in aggregate net proceeds after deducting sales commissions and the issuance of new Revolving Equipment Notes for four aircraft in the aggregate principal amount of $33.9 million, partially offset by prepayments of long-term debt of $69.0 million.

------

*Future Obligations and Commitments*

As of September 30, 2025, our principal ongoing commitments consisted of contractual cash obligations to pay principal and interest payments under the Revolving Equipment Notes, principal and accrued interest under the Credit Agreement when due at maturity (including any amounts in respect of the Credit Support Premium), operating leases for certain controlled aircraft, leased facilities, including our corporate headquarters, other office space and operational facilities, such as hangars and maintenance facilities, trade payables and ordinary course arrangements involving our obligation to provide future services for which we have already received deferred revenue. For further information about the foregoing obligations and commitments, see the following Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report: <u>[Note 2](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_43)</u>, Revenue; <u>[Note 7](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_61)</u>, Long-Term Debt; and <u>[Note 9](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_67)</u>, Leases. In addition, the $10.0 million Share Repurchase Program gives management the discretion to purchase shares of Common Stock from time to time, and any open order or executory contract to acquire shares of Common Stock in the future would constitute a cash contractual commitment by the Company to the extent it is not cancelled prior to trade execution.

To execute our fleet modernization strategy, we will need to, among other things, continue to strategically acquire aircraft, which may include purchasing or leasing aircraft, acquiring other private aviation operators or entering into alternative financing structures, and sell current owned aircraft and return certain current leased aircraft. This strategy is expected to be capital intensive and will require significant internal and external resources over the multi-year transition period. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, we expect that we will fund any obligations or commitments in connection with our fleet modernization strategy using cash and cash equivalents, including cash received from any sales of our owned aircraft, operating cash flows, available borrowings under the Revolving Equipment Notes Facility, and the execution of strategic transactions in the future, such as potential acquisitions of private aviation operators, strategic leasing arrangements or additional debt or equity financings. See "*Our Fleet Modernization Strategy & Progress Update*" above and the caption titled "*We may be unable to execute our fleet modernization strategy on the timeline that we currently anticipate or may fail to realize the expected benefits from such strategy, which may adversely impact our business, prospects, operations, results of operations and financial condition*" in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report for more information about our fleet modernization strategy.

------

**Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements**

As of September 30, 2025, we were not a party to any off-balance sheet arrangements (as defined in Regulation S-K) that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

**Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates**

For further information about our critical accounting policies and estimates, and recent accounting pronouncements, see <u>[Note 1](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_34)</u>, Summary of Business and Significant Accounting Policies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report and the caption titled "Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates" in Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operations" included in our Annual Report, as applicable. There have not been any material changes to our significant and critical accounting policies and estimates since the filing of our Annual Report.

**ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK**

In the ordinary course of operating our business, we are exposed to market risks. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position or results of operations due to adverse changes in financial market prices and rates. Our principal market risks relate to interest rates, aircraft fuel and foreign currency exchange. There have not been any material changes to the market risks described in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" included in our Annual Report.

------

**ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES**

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")), that are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that, because of inherent limitations, our disclosure controls and procedures, however well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the disclosure controls and procedures are met.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2025 due to the on-going remediation efforts associated with the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting described in Part II, Item 9A "Controls and Procedures" in our Annual Report and the need for impacted controls to operate for a sufficient period of time and for management to conclude, through testing, that the controls are designed and operating effectively.

Notwithstanding the pending remediation efforts described below, based on additional analysis and other post-closing procedures performed, management believes that the financial statements included in this report present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

***Remediation Plans to Address Material Weaknesses***

To date, we have implemented certain measures to address the controls and procedures deficiencies identified in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report.

Since the date of our Annual Report, we have executed on the following remediation actions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• redesigned access administration procedures to include steps to ensure retention of documentation supporting requests and approvals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enhanced user access review procedures to ensure timely reviews of elevated access, removal of terminated users and appropriateness of user roles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed elevated access entitlements in the systems supporting our financial processes and have further restricted access or developed compensating controls;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• redesigned change management procedures to ensure effective monitoring controls and retention of documentation supporting requests and approvals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• developed and implemented change management monitoring controls for key information used in the preparation of our financial statements; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• engaged external advisors to assist with evaluating and documenting the design and operating effectiveness of our IT general controls.

Our remediation plan currently includes additional actions that management intends to undertake during the year ending December 31, 2025:

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• enhancing training programs addressing IT general controls and policies, including educating control owners concerning the principles and requirements of each control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increasing the frequency of testing to monitor IT general controls with a specific focus on systems supporting our financial reporting processes; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• hiring additional personnel with relevant compliance expertise to support the ongoing design and maintenance of effective IT general controls.

We are working aggressively and prioritizing the above actions to complete our remediation plan before December 31, 2025. We believe that these actions, when fully implemented, will remediate the deficiencies identified in Part II, Item 9A of our Annual Report. Those deficiencies will not be considered remediated until the applicable controls operate for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that the applicable controls are designed and operating effectively. As we continue to evaluate and improve the applicable controls, management may take additional remedial measures or modify the remediation plan described above.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

Except for the items referred to above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

***Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Control over Financial Reporting and Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions; over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected or preventable.

**PART II. OTHER INFORMATION**

**ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS**

From time to time, we are subject to various legal proceedings and claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty. See <u>[Note 13](#i3e8b6c3228bd455ba772fa9803b0d38a_85)</u>, Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report for a discussion of loss contingencies, if any. Below is a discussion of the Company's significant pending legal proceedings:

*GRP Litigation*

On July 5, 2023, we filed a lawsuit against Exclusive Jets, LLC d/b/a flyExclusive, a subsidiary of flyExclusive, Inc. ("FE"), in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York ("NY Federal Court"), which was re-filed against FE in the Supreme Court of the State of New York in New York County ("NY State Court") on August 23, 2023. We instituted the action to enforce our rights and remedies for wrongful termination by FE of the Fleet Guaranteed Revenue Program Agreement, dated November 1, 2021, between WUP and FE (the "GRP Agreement"). On June 30, 2023, FE notified us in writing of its immediate termination of the GRP Agreement. We believe that FE wrongfully terminated such agreement in breach thereof. We are seeking compensatory damages, including the return of material deposits held by FE under the GRP Agreement (collectively, the "GRP Deposit") that were recorded in Other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, as well as attorneys' fees and costs.

Following remand to the NY State Court after removal to the NY Federal Court by FE, on April 9, 2025, FE filed in the NY State Court an answer and its defenses to the Company's claims, as well as counterclaims for amounts it claims it is owed under the GRP Agreement. On July 23, 2025, the Company filed a motion to amend and proposed amended complaint against FE in NY State Court (the "Amended Complaint"), which included, among other things, additional breach of contract claims and added Thomas James Segrave Jr., FE's founder and Chief Executive Officer, as a defendant for a claim based on piercing the corporate veil. On September 9, 2025, FE and Mr. Segrave filed their answer and affirmative defenses to the Company's Amended Complaint, FE reasserted counterclaims for amounts it claims it is owed under the GRP Agreement, and FE filed a motion to dismiss on jurisdictional grounds, to which the Company filed its answer, defenses and opposition on October 22, 2025. The parties are actively engaged in the discovery process.

We intend to vigorously pursue the action to recover the outstanding deposits and other damages from FE and defend against any related counterclaims, but there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the dispute with FE. Our success in recovering the amounts from FE will depend on several factors, including the availability of funds by FE for the recoverable amounts, in light of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on May 1, 2024, FE disclosed that upon termination of the GRP Agreement, it applied a portion of the GRP Deposit against certain receivable balances that FE claims it was owed under the GRP Agreement. As a result, the GRP Deposit liability owed to the Company that was formerly reflected in FE's financial statements was fully eliminated as of June 30, 2023 and the remainder of the GRP Deposit continues to be withheld from Wheels Up.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended June 30, 2025 filed with the SEC on August 13, 2025, FE disclosed: (i) a net loss of $16.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and that it "expects to incur operating losses in the near term as [FE] advances its fleet modernization and associated cost savings initiatives"; (ii) net cash flows used in operating activities of $10.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2025; (iii) that as of June 30, 2025, it had cash and cash equivalents of $15.8 million (versus $31.7 million as of December 31, 2024), nil in investments in securities (versus $65.5 million as of December 31, 2024) and available borrowing capacity of $12.2 million under existing debt facilities, against a working capital deficit of $194.6 million (versus $150.8 million as of December 31, 2024); and (iv) as of August 13, 2025, cash and cash equivalents on hand, operating cash flows and proceeds from its fractional program will be sufficient to fund FE's operations, including capital

------

expenditure requirements, for at least 12 months, but it might need additional capital to fund growth plans or as circumstances change, which it disclosed it could obtain through equity issuances, refinancing existing debt or new borrowings, and if FE is not able to raise capital, its business, prospects, operating results and financial condition could be negatively impacted.

We are in the process of evaluating the effects of the foregoing events and we cannot make a reasonable estimate of any outcome, recovery or loss at this time. See the caption titled "*Some of our business is dependent on our third-party operators to provide flights for our members and customers. If such third-party operators do not perform adequately or terminate their relationships with us, our costs may increase and our business, operations, liquidity, financial condition, and results of operations could be adversely affected*" in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report for further information.

**ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS**

In addition to the risks set forth below and the information set forth in this Quarterly Report, you should carefully consider the disclosures included in Part I, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report. You should be aware that these risk factors and other information may not describe every risk facing Wheels Up. Our business is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties that represent challenges that we face in connection with our go-forward strategy and growth plans. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be insignificant could adversely affect our business, prospects, results of operations and financial condition. All defined terms used in the following risk factor are defined in our Annual Report.

***The price of our Common Stock and Warrants may be volatile.***

The price per share of our Common Stock, as well as for the Warrants, may fluctuate due to a variety of factors within and outside of our control, including: (i) changes in the private aviation industry and general demand for travel services; (ii) changes in general market conditions and macro-economic conditions, including the price of aircraft fuel; (iii) developments involving our competitors, such as material announcements or new offerings and services; (iv) changes in applicable laws and regulations affecting our business and operations; (v) variations in our operating performance and the performance of our competitors in general; (vi) changes in our levels of liquidity and indebtedness, other contractual obligations or credit ratings and the terms or covenants associated with our indebtedness or contractual obligations; (vii) actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly or annual operating results and the public's reaction to our press releases, our other public announcements and our filings with the SEC; (viii) publication of research reports by securities analysts about us or our competitors or our industry or the cessation of such coverage; (ix) actions by stockholders, including sales by stockholders of any of their shares of our Common Stock; (x) increases or decreases in reported holdings by insiders or significant stockholders, including shares of Common Stock held by our Lenders; (xi) the issuance and sale of shares of our Common Stock or securities exercisable for or convertible or exchangeable into shares of Common Stock, including under the Company's ATM Program; (xii) the timing and magnitude of repurchases of shares of Common Stock by the Company under any stock repurchase program approved by the Board; (xiii) fluctuations in trading volume and the volume of shares of our Common Stock available for public sale, including upon expiration or extension of lock-ups or other restrictions on trading shares of Common Stock applicable to certain stockholders; (xiv) additions and departures of key personnel; (xv) commencement of, involvement in, or the outcome of, litigation or disputes involving us; (xvi) changes in our capital structure, such as future issuances of equity securities or the incurrence of debt and grants of equity awards under our equity incentive plans; and (xvii) general economic and political conditions, such as the effects of recessions, changes in inflation and interest rates, taxes, tariffs and trade policies, government shutdowns or funding changes, the results of local and national elections, fluctuations in fuel prices and international currency rates, and the impact of corruption, political instability and acts of war or terrorism.
