Although Bridger's Super Scooper fleet only comprises ~30%
of total fleet count, the CL-415EAF's leading operating
performance contributes to the majority of top-line sales via
higher contracted rates
Bridger's growth capital expenditures are focused on
expanding the CL-415EAF / fire suppression fleet
Bridger operated nearly the entire 2022 fire season with 4
Super Scoopers. Bridger expects to have 6 Scoopers and 1
Scooper equivalent in possession ahead of the 2023 fire
season
Expenses associated with operating additional CL-415EAF
aircraft are not expected to scale in-line with revenue
growth
-
Bridger gains incremental operating leverage as more
Super Scoopers are acquired
Cash on hand from the Series C capital raise, municipal bond
financing and free cash flow generation is projected to fully
finance Bridger's growth projections

Assumes acquisition of additional aircrafts, including possibility of purchasing fewer but larger Air Attack planes with equivalent revenue impact, resulting in a smaller fleet size. Assumes conversion of two resource planes to Air Attack. (5) Adjusted EBITDA for 2022E includes (among other items) (i) lower revenue than anticipated due to the
delayed arrival of multipleaircraft and the impact of a less intense fire season as compared to the prior two years, (ii) $3.0 million of costs related tothe acquisition of Super Scoopers 5 and 6, (ii) $2.2 million of business development related expenses and (iii) $0.4 for the development of FireTrac. (6) May not foot due to rounding. (7) Includes
depreciation of $5M, $9M, and $8M in COGS for 2021A, 2022E and 2023E, respectively. (8) Includes depreciation and interest expense.
