Shareholder Letter Q1 2022


 
First Quarter 2022 Highlights Certification Progress Close to 80% of our means of compliance have now been accepted by the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”). Our first area specific certification plan (“ASCP”) has been accepted by the FAA while two further ASCPs have been submitted for review. Production Progress The majority of the large composite parts for our first production-intent aircraft have been manufactured and work has begun on the tail and wing structural assemblies. Our first design-intent Electric Propulsion Unit (“EPU”) has been manufactured and is undergoing durability and performance testing. Net Loss Our net loss of $62.3 million included total operating expenses of $94.3 million, reflecting continued progress in certifying the aircraft and early manufacturing operations.  Operating expenses also included stock-based compensation expenses of $19.4 million. Revolutionary Acoustic Profile NASA testing confirmed the expected acoustic performance of our aircraft, following our participation in the Grand Challenge program last year. Strong Financial Foundation At the end of the first quarter of 2022, we had $1.2 billion in cash and short-term investments to support operations.  Net cash used in operating activities and purchases of property and equipment totaled $72.3 million in the first quarter. Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA loss of $69.7 million reflected primarily costs associated with the certification and manufacturing of our aircraft. 2


 
Progress On Our Long-Term Plan Certifying our Aircraft We continued to make good progress on agreeing our means of compliance with the FAA during the quarter. Close to 80% have now been accepted by the FAA, and we have submitted the majority of the remaining 20% for review and approval. In March, we became the first eVTOL company to submit an area specific certification plan (“ASCP”). This plan, which covers cabin safety, has subsequently been accepted by the FAA and a further two ASCPs have been submitted for review. The majority of the remaining ASCPs are also ready for submission as soon as the associated means of compliance are fully accepted. Several new test plans have also been submitted and we continue to build further test coupons and panels for conformity testing. We also successfully completed our first FAA Aircraft Evaluation Division familiarization meeting, in support of ensuring aircraft design and operations are aligned from a regulatory standpoint. Our second pre-production prototype completed a range of testing during the first quarter, including both flight testing and ground-based taxi testing where we prove out the aircraft’s ability to move around a vertiport under its own power. 3


 
Scaling our Manufacturing We reported in March that we had begun manufacturing our first production-intent aircraft at our pilot production facility in Marina, CA. We continue to make good progress with the majority of the large composite parts already manufactured and work underway on the tail and wing structural assemblies. We also completed our first design-intent Electric Propulsion Unit during the quarter. This unit has already completed testing equivalent to more than 600 flight hours of high-intensity testing on our dedicated test track as we seek to verify the design and airworthiness of the part before installing it on our production- intent aircraft. We have also built several additional powertrain and electronic components to enable us to deliver parallel development and reliability testing. Preparing for Commercial Operations Our revolutionary low noise footprint will play a critical role in ensuring our aircraft is able to fly into populated areas, delivering meaningful journeys for our customers. We were therefore pleased to announce that testing undertaken with NASA in 2021 as part of their National Campaign showed the acoustic performance of our aircraft to be as expected. Registering the equivalent of 45.2 A-weighted decibels (dBA) from a distance of 500 meters, our first pre-production prototype demonstrated it will be barely audible when flying over cities and as quiet as a conversation during planned take-off and landing profiles, measuring below 65 dBA from a distance of 100 meters.  We continue to make excellent progress towards achieving our Part 135 Air Carrier Certification, with our initial cadre of pilots completing FAA certification checks during the quarter and our maintenance team completing FAA conformity inspections on our Cirrus SR22 aircraft. We anticipate transitioning into the fifth and final stage of the process during the second quarter, keeping us on track to receive our Part 135 certificate during the second half of 2022, as scheduled. Having announced a partnership with SK Telecom earlier this year to explore launching aerial ridesharing services in South Korea, we announced a further partnership with TMAP Mobility, a subsidiary of SK Square, to support the design and mapping of future customer journeys and infrastructure. We also continue to engage with international regulatory agencies such as the U.K.’s CAA and Japan’s JCAB, to pave the way for coordinated certification activities.   We announced that we will be hosting the 2022 Elevate Summit in Brooklyn, NY on October 12 and 13. The summit builds on the success of previous Uber Elevate Summits and will provide an opportunity for the entire aerial ridesharing ecosystem to come together and discuss progress in the sector, from city officials and land developers to supply chain partners, the investment community and other aircraft manufacturers. 4


 
First Quarter 2022 Financial Summary In the first quarter of 2022, our net loss of $62.3 million reflected operating expenses to support continued growth, totaling $94.3 million, partly offset by other income of $32.0 million. The net loss in the first quarter of 2022 was $20.8 million higher than in the first quarter of 2021. Operating expenses in the first quarter of 2022 were higher than the same period of 2021 and the prior quarter, primarily reflecting higher spending on personnel and prototype material to support our development and certification activities, early manufacturing operations, initial investments in commercialization, and administrative costs to support scaling as a public company. Higher operating expenses also reflect increased stock- based compensation, including the introduction of performance-based incentives, and depreciation and amortization. Research and development costs of $72.1 million reflected aircraft certification activities and early manufacturing operations. Selling, general & administrative expenses were $22.3 million for the quarter. Other income of $32.0 million reflected primarily a gain from the change in the fair market valuation of derivative liabilities of $16.8 million and income from equity-method investments of $14.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter 2022 was a loss of $69.7 million, primarily reflecting employee costs associated with the development, certification and manufacturing of the aircraft. Adjusted EBITDA loss was $32.0 million higher than in the first quarter of 2021.  Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric that excludes the gain from the revaluation of our derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation expense and income from equity-method investments. Please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA. Our balance sheet provides a strong financial foundation to support our long-term goals. We ended the first quarter of 2022 with $1.2 billion in cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and investments in marketable securities.    Cash used in operating activities and spending on property and equipment totaled $72.3 million.  Net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash for the first quarter of 2022 totaled $537.5 million, reflecting primarily the movement of a portion of our cash reserves into short-term investments, net cash used in operating activities and purchases of property and equipment. 5

AND SUBSIDIARIES Non-GAAP Financial Measures Unaudited (in thousands) 9 Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance that is included to communicate the financial performance of activities associated with core operations that support the development, manufacturing and commercialization of the Joby aircraft. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest income (expense), income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, income from equity-method investments unrelated to core operations, impact from revaluation of non-operating derivative liabilities, and other income or costs which are not directly related to ongoing core operations. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when read in conjunction with our GAAP financials, provides investors and management with a useful measure for the evaluation of our operating results and a basis for comparing our core, ongoing operations from period to period. Because Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered more meaningful than or as a substitute for net income (loss) as an indicator of our operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies due to potential differences in methods of calculation. From time to time, we may modify the nature of the adjustments we make to arrive at Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is as follows:


 
J O B Y I N F O C U S  AC O U S T I C S When we set out to design our aircraft more than ten years ago, it was clear that only a revolutionary approach to acoustics would deliver our goal of being able to fly our customers where they really wanted to be. Regularly accessing any area where people live, work or relax meant delivering an aircraft that redefines how we think about aircraft noise.  Last year, we were privileged to work with NASA as part of their Advanced Air Mobility National Campaign to record and analyze the acoustic footprint of our aircraft, allowing us to better understand if we had met our goal. Over the course of two weeks, a team of engineers from NASA captured the sound of our aircraft as it flew over a grid array of more than 50 microphones in a variety of patterns. After several months of detailed analysis, we were recently able to confirm the results of the testing: our aircraft was shown to have met the low noise targets we set for ourselves at the beginning of our development program. When flying overhead, the aircraft registered 45 A-weighted decibels (dBA) at an altitude of 1640 feet (500 meters) at 100 knots airspeed, and during planned take-off and landing profiles it measured below 65 dBA at 330 feet (100 meters) from the flight path. In other words, the aircraft will barely be perceptible from the ground when flying over a typical urban environment and quieter than a conversation when taking off and landing. In addition to contributing to the work NASA is doing to support the social desirability of this new technology, we believe this data demonstrates how our aircraft is uniquely positioned to blend into the existing environment of city centers and residential communities, enabling us to deliver flights right where people want them. The Joby team was able to achieve this remarkable goal by selecting an overall aircraft configuration that allowed us to optimize blade loading, enabling the six propellers to spin at reduced speeds while generating the lift necessary for flight. Proprietary technology included in the electric motors, hub, and blade design results in less tonal sound than that produced by traditional aircraft and less of the disruptive low frequency noise that we associate with helicopters. Each propeller also individually adjusts its tilt, rotational speed, and blade pitch to avoid the harsh blade-vortex interactions produced by rotorcraft aircraft during landing. Instead, our aircraft is designed to mimic broadband sounds we find in nature, like the wind rushing through trees. Meet Greg Goetchius Lead, Noise and Vibration Engineering Greg leads our effort to minimize interior and exterior noise for our production aircraft, ensuring the Joby service will blend seamlessly into the ambient environment of cities while offering the highest level of comfort for our passengers. He also heads testing activities on noise and vibration and supports Joby’s compliance with noise certification standards. Greg spent 35 years in the automotive industry, including 10 years leading the acoustics efforts at two of the preeminent Bay Area EV manufacturers. 10
