Q3 2023 Financial Highlights
Use Of Non-GAAP Information (Continued)
Flight Profit and Flight Margin Blade defines Flight Profit as revenue less cost of revenue. Cost of revenue consists of flight costs paid to operators of aircraft and cars, landing
fees, right-of-use ("ROU") asset amortization and internal costs incurred in generating ground transportation revenue using the Company's owned cars. Blade defines Flight Margin
for a period as Flight Profit for the period divided by revenue for the same period. Blade believes that Flight Profit and Flight Margin provide a more accurate measure of the
profitability of the Company's flight and ground operations, as they focus solely on the direct costs associated with those operations.
