BLADE URBAN AIR MOBILITY REPORTS FISCAL FIRST QUARTER 2021 FINANCIAL RESULTS AND PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

New York, NY (March 10, 2021) – Blade Urban Air Mobility, Inc. (“Blade” or the “Company”), a technology-powered air mobility business, which recently announced it would become a public company via a merger with special purpose acquisition company Experience Investment Corp. (NASDAQ: EXPC), today announced financial results for the fiscal first quarter ended December 31, 2020.

“Our focused pursuit of new service and market expansion opportunities will enable us to fly a greater number of passengers between our private terminals in the U.S. and abroad, while maintaining profitable unit economics using current aviation technology. As Electric Vertical Aircraft ("EVA") become certified for commercial use, the value of Blade’s urban air mobility platform will continue to grow. We are also pleased with the progress EVA manufacturers are making towards FAA certification, which is required for commercial service,” said Rob Wiesenthal, Blade’s Chief Executive Officer.

¹ For reference purposes, Blade’s projections as disclosed in the investor presentation filed on December 15, 2020 and in the Form S-4 filed on January 29, 2021 were for $25 million and $52 million of revenue in calendar years 2020 and 2021, respectively. Refer to the discussion below for a description of Adjusted EBITDA.

Wiesenthal continued, “With nearly 100 different EVAs currently in the design and certification process, our asset-light model provides us with the flexibility to choose the right aircraft for each of our routes so Blade fliers can enjoy safe, cost effective, quiet and zero emission air mobility across our network as these next-generation aircraft become available.”

“Despite an unprecedented pause in travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Blade’s first fiscal quarter 2021 revenues increased 53% versus the prior-year period while the company exceeded trailing twelve months ended December 2020 projections for revenue with Adjusted EBITDA in-line,” said Will Heyburn, Blade’s Chief Financial Officer and Head of Corporate Development. Heyburn continued, “We are pleased with our business performance in year-to date 2021 and are excited to move up the re-launch of our by-the-seat airport product to this Spring, in addition to launching new services between the Westchester/Connecticut area and both Manhattan and John F. Kennedy Airport.”

Business Highlights and Recent Updates:

First Fiscal Quarter Ended December 31, 2020 Financial Highlights:

Trailing 12-Months Ending December 31, 2020 Highlights:

In connection with the merger agreement, Blade provided to Experience Investment Corp. projections of revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for 12-month periods ending on December 31.  Solely for purposes of comparing actual 2020 results to those projections, Blade calculated revenues for the 12-months ended December 31, 2020 by adding revenues for the year ended September 30, 2020 to revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2020 and subtracting revenues from the three months ended December 31, 2019.  Blade calculated actual Adjusted EBITDA for the trailing 12 months in the same manner.  Based on those calculations: 

These projections were not prepared with a view toward compliance with published guidelines of the SEC or the guidelines established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for preparation and presentation of prospective financial information or U.S. GAAP with respect to forward looking financial information.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Blade reports EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, which are non-GAAP financial measures. EBITDA is determined by taking net income and adding interest, depreciation and amortization. Currently, Blade determines Adjusted EBITDA by taking EBITDA and adding back stock-based compensation. Blade believes that this non-GAAP measure, viewed in addition to and not in lieu of our reported GAAP results, provides useful information to investors by providing a more focused measure of operating results, enhances the overall understanding of past financial performance and future prospects, and allows for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making. The non-GAAP measure presented herein may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have been reconciled to the nearest GAAP measure in the tables within these this press release.

These statements, which involve risks and uncertainties, relate to analyses and other information that are based on forecasts of future results and estimates of amounts not yet determinable and may also relate to EIC’s and Blade’s future prospects, developments and business strategies. In particular, such forward-looking statements include statements concerning the timing of the Merger, the business plans, objectives, expectations and intentions of EIC once the Merger and the other transactions contemplated thereby (the “Transactions”) and change of name are complete (“New Blade”), and Blade’s estimated and future results of operations, business strategies, competitive position, industry environment and potential growth opportunities.

These risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement; (2) the inability to complete the Transactions due to the failure to obtain approval of the stockholders of EIC or Blade or other conditions to closing in the Merger Agreement; (3) the ability of New Blade to meet Nasdaq’s listing standards (or the standards of any other securities exchange on which securities of the public entity are listed) following the Merger; (4) the inability to complete the private placement of common stock of EIC to certain institutional accredited investors; (5) the risk that the announcement and consummation of the Transactions disrupts Blade’s current plans and operations; (6) the ability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Transactions, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, the ability of New Blade to grow and manage growth profitably, maintain relationships with customers, business partners, suppliers and agents and retain its management and key employees; (7) costs related to the Transactions; (8) changes in applicable laws or regulations and delays in obtaining, adverse conditions contained in, or the inability to obtain necessary regulatory approvals required to complete the Transactions; (9) the possibility that Blade and New Blade may be adversely affected by other economic, business, regulatory and/or competitive factors; (10) the impact of COVID-19 on Blade’s and New Blade’s business and/or the ability of the parties to complete the Transactions; (11) the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against EIC, Blade, New Blade or any of their respective directors or officers, following the announcement of the Transactions; and (12) the failure to realize anticipated pro forma results and underlying assumptions, including with respect to estimated stockholder redemptions and purchase price and other adjustments.
