And with all of that said, I'll now turn the call over to Joe Ben. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:02:02Thank you, Teresa, and thank you everyone for joining us today. The last quarter was one of our best yet. We're delivering at an exceptional level on all fronts, on certification, on manufacturing and on commercialization. And we have so much to talk about that I'm going to get straight into it. The progress we've reported this quarter is unparalleled, supported by an incredible team, years of planning and a wealth of flight testing. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:02:32To put our flight testing into context, in July alone, we completed 76 separate flights with four different aircraft in three different locations around the world. These included both piloted and remotely piloted flights with vertical takeoffs, full transitions and vertical landings. And the amount of flight testing matters because it's the core of our certification effort. It's the way you drive maturity into an aircraft program, whether for commercial or defense use, and it's the way you wring out technical issues to mitigate expensive changes later in the certification process. Our team is delivering day in and day out and they know that if you're in the business of flying aircraft, you have to actually fly aircraft. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:03:20In stage four of certification, we're now 70% complete on the Joby side and more than 50% complete on the FAA side, up 10 points from last quarter. And we're gearing up for stage five. During this stage, Joby and FAA pilots will fly our aircraft to validate all of our certification work ahead of receiving a type certification. And I'm pleased to say, as we announced this morning, the first of five aircraft for TIA flight testing is headed to final assembly, and we remain on track to start flying our TIA aircraft with Joby pilots this year and to begin TIA certification flights with FAA pilots early next year. For context, this is a milestone you don't reach at the flip of a switch. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:04:11There are very few, if any certification processes that are as involved as the steps required to reach type inspection authorization. It's multi variable, time intensive and relies on not just your own execution, but also that of the FAA. We've been at this for more than a decade, developing, iterating and collaborating on paper and in practice. We've taken a concept and turned it into a conforming design with approved test plans and the ability to manufacture under a quality management system, all in alignment with the FAA. We're now putting the keystone in the arch. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:04:52Alongside our certification progress, the global regulatory momentum is undeniable. Here in The U. S, the White House, DOT and FAA are setting the pace for next generation aviation. For eVTOL, the executive order on drone dominance directs the FAA and DOT to establish programs for state and local governments to partner with companies like ours on early operations. Globally, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, The U. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:05:22S. And The UK markets with huge long term opportunity for Joby came together to streamline international validation of FAA type certification for aircraft like ours. This took years of public private collaboration that we expect to pay dividends in the years to come. I was also particularly excited that the FAA finalized the Mosaic and BB loss rules, which opened a world of opportunity for new personal aircraft, new propulsion systems and new ways of flying. I've been on this mission with Joby for more than fifteen years. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:06:00We're witnessing a global sea change in regulatory landscape that I believe will define the next century of aviation. And in doing so, I believe we are defining the very fabric of how we will live. Each of the ingredients that I have just spoken about, the maturity of our platform, the rigorous aircraft testing and the progress we're making on certification, all contribute to our success on commercialization. This quarter was pivotal. We completed flight testing in Dubai. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:06:32We reached a definitive agreement to acquire Blade's passenger business. We signed agreements for aircraft with long term partners Abdul Latif, Jameel and ANA. And with L3Harris, we're exploring opportunities to leverage our existing technology platform for defense applications. Let's start with Dubai. Earlier this summer, we achieved another industry first. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:06:56We completed a multi week campaign in The UAE with 21 piloted flights, including vertical takeoff, transition to wing borne flight and vertical landing. And we did this in challenging real world conditions. We delivered sustained operations in temperatures nearing 110 degrees Fahrenheit. We gained invaluable insights about the performance of our aircraft as we prepare to move from flight testing to exhibition flights and on to commercial service. With the acquisition of Blade, we're accelerating our readiness for commercial eVTOL operations globally, including in Dubai. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:07:32Over the last decade, Rob and the team at Blade have built a scaled vTOL business, operational expertise and a premium customer experience. But the Blade acquisition delivers much more than operational experience. On day one post certification, Joby will have the infrastructure, team and routes to start electrified service in key U. S. And international markets. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:07:57This gives us a defensible first mover advantage and creates a competitive edge that will be difficult to replicate. We'll also have access today to a deep and loyal customer base with a demonstrated high willingness to pay to save time. Last year alone, Blade moved more than 50,000 passengers. The plan is simple. We take the existing Blade operations and we add eVTOL. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:08:22This will allow us to expand route maps, fly higher tempo operations given the lower nose profile and increase margins with lower operating costs than helicopters. And while we're waiting for our eVTOL to come online, we'll be able to build Joby's market leading operational software into Blade to drive efficiency and improve customer experience. We have three paths to commercialization. In addition to the owned and operated service, we're pursuing direct sales and regional partnerships. Yesterday, we announced plans to establish a joint venture with our partner ANA. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:09:00The plan is to deploy more than 100 aircraft in the region, as well as build an air taxi service ecosystem. We need pilot training, vertiports and maintenance just as much as we need the aircraft. Through this collaboration, we see potential to build a playbook to replicate in other markets. Similarly, we're making progress on distribution. With longstanding investor Abdul Latif Jameel, we announced we're exploring the sale of up to 200 aircraft in Saudi Arabia valued at approximately $1,000,000,000 Abdul Latif Jameel has deep ties in The Middle East, and we look forward to growing this relationship. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:09:42Finally, we announced a new collaboration with L3Harris to develop a hybrid variant of our existing aircraft to pursue low altitude defense opportunities. To be clear, defense and dual use technology has always been a core to Joby's strategy, a point demonstrated by our long history with the DoD. We already set the pace for VTOL and defense being the first and only company to deliver eVTOL aircraft to a government customer facility, which we've now done twice. And we're the only company to have already shown electric VTOL aircraft can be hybridized for longer range with our record breaking five sixty one mile hydrogen electric flight last summer. We're leveraging that history, adapting our existing platform with turbine electric propulsion and missionization. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:10:33We're now ready to set the pace again with flight tests of this new expected to start this fall and operational demonstrations expected in early twenty twenty six with government customers. With our existing production capability, we're confident we can move quickly from demonstration to deployment, a testament to the value of a dual use approach. We also see this work benefiting our commercial operations. The work we'll do to mature vehicle level autonomy and turbine electric powertrains can feed back into our commercial business, allowing for commercial products that are faster and longer range. This work comes at a critical time in the retooling of U. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:11:13S. And allied defense. The DoD has requested 9,400,000,000 in the FY 'twenty six budget to advance uncrewed and remotely operated aircraft, and we see significant opportunity for Joby and our partners. As our path to certification and commercialization becomes increasingly clear, our next challenge will be scaling production capacity to meet demand. And as I've said before, this is not an easy task, but it is one that we're well placed to tackle. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:11:42I'm incredibly proud of the progress we've already made to establish conforming production lines. And with our first TIA aircraft moving to final assembly, I'm confident we're leading the way. The expansion of our Marina facility is an important step on the road to scale. It will double our production capacity to two dozen aircraft per year. And our Dayton facility is now coming online. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:12:06This dual site strategy is designed to scale horizontally and eventually produce up to 500 aircraft per year. As an engineer, I care very deeply about manufacturing and I love walking the manufacturing floors to see where we can drive process and efficiency improvements from the current line, including adding automation to reduce cost and increase efficiency and throughput. We're only at the beginning of the S curve. So while early improvements will be significant, they won't be easy. But the base we are building from is strong. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:12:39We're leading the way on production conforming lines. We're leading the way on ramping production. And of course, we have Toyota, the world's leading automaker at our side. Rodrigo, over to you. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:12:50Thanks, Joban, and hello everyone. I'm thrilled to be joining Joby at such a pivotal time. What brought me here is simple. This is a company building a reality that does not exist today. Joby will make air travel an everyday reality, but that's not an easy task. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:13:10The team is solving hard problems with rigor from certification to manufacturing to global deployment. What stood out to me is the rare alignment of vision, execution and capital. We have a strong balance sheet, long term partners and a team that understands how to turn bold ideas into tangible outcomes. In every conversation I had before joining, whether with engineers, test pilots, or operating leaders, I saw the same thing, quiet excellence and relentless focus. In my first few weeks on the job, I witnessed the team coming together to deliver the historic Dubai flights with precision, intensity and pride. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:13:56He showed me what this company is made of. As a newcomer, I can say with high conviction, this is the real deal. As CFO, my focus is very clear. Number one, ensure we scale methodically. Number two, stay disciplined with capital. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:14:15And number three, translate our technical and regulatory progress into long term value. Now shifting to our Q2 financial results. We ended the 2025 with cash and short term investments totaling $991,000,000 We closed the first $250,000,000 tranche from Toyota and received an additional $41,000,000 through our ATM facility. Our Q2 twenty twenty five use of cash totaled $112,000,000 $10,000,000 lower than last quarter, primarily due to having one less payroll run-in the quarter, partially offset by growth in operating expenses. This spending also included about $12,000,000 on property and equipment. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:15:07We remain on track with our full year 2025 guidance of $500,000,000 to $540,000,000 in use of cash, excluding any potential impact from our proposed acquisition of Blade's passenger business. On a GAAP basis, we reported a Q2 net loss of $325,000,000 which includes a $168,000,000 operating loss and a $157,000,000 non operating loss both impacted by non cash items. The net loss was two forty two million dollars higher than the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in our share price reflecting an unfavorable non cash revaluation of warrants, earn out shares and the Toyota first tranche investment we received. Total operating expenses for the quarter were $168,000,000 up about $5,000,000 from the prior quarter. The increase was driven by higher staffing and program spend to support key milestones, including progress on the final assembly of our first TIA aircraft. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:16:21Adjusted EBITDA in non GAAP metric that we reconcile to our net income in our shareholder letter was a loss of $132,000,000 in the second quarter. This was about $4,000,000 higher than the prior quarter, reflecting the increased spending I mentioned before. Compared to the same period last year, our adjusted EBITDA loss was $24,000,000 higher reflecting growth in our organization to support the design, manufacture and the certification progress of our aircraft in earning investments related to commercialization. As Jobin said before, 2025 has been and will continue to be a pivotal year for Joby and for this new industry. You should expect us to keep flying in diverse conditions and locations, forging new partnerships in laying the groundwork for support across regulations, infrastructure and operations. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:17:23You should see the closing of our Blade acquisition and the integration of their operating know how as a key advantage in preparing for commercial service. You should see us continue maturing our low rate manufacturing efforts into a scaled production capabilities in leveraging our best in class partner Toyota to do this together. You should also stay tuned as we develop hybrid aircraft for U. S. Defense combining Joby's VTOL and autonomy capabilities with L3Harry's expertise. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:18:01Joby remains the only company to deliver EVTOLs to a U. S. Air Force base in flight full transition piloted and unpiloted missions of full scale EVTOL aircraft today. I want to be realistic about the amount of work we have in front of us. It is not going to be easy. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:18:24We are building a reality that does not exist today. Our path will be challenging, but we embrace it and are executing with tangible results as we shape our future lines of revenue. Now, with our three paths to generating revenue in mind, let's recap. Number one, as a neurotaxy operator direct to consumer business, we made an exciting acquisition that is expected to accelerate our timeline. We have a strong backing from local and global regulators and we continue to demonstrate our commitment to bring flying to everyday life. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:19:04Number two, for partner service, our relationship with ANA in Japan provides an opportunity to collaborate on air taxi ecosystem in the key market. And number three, under the banner of aircraft sales, we look forward to sharing more about our distribution relationship with Abdul Latif Genmil for electric aircraft and with L3 Harries for autonomous and hybrid aircraft. Look forward to continue sharing our progress with you. At this time operator, please open the call for questions. Operator00:19:38Thank And the first question comes from the line of Austin Moeller with Canaccord Genuity. Please proceed. Austin MoellerDirector - Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets00:20:09Hi, good afternoon. So just my first question here. Now that you bought Blade, are you preparing to or are you planning to provide S-forty V tolls to the local charter operators that own those helicopters and have a similar model to Blade? Or are you still planning to operate and own the aircraft yourselves? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:20:31Thanks a lot. Austin, this is Joe Ben. We're going to remain flexible on that. Here in The U. S, we do have a preference for retaining the long term free cash flow and the long term revenues from the passenger service. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:20:56But we do see Blade's asset light model as being a valuable one. I think as you look at our partnership with ANA where our operation in Japan will be co owned. That also gives us the opportunity to pull forward revenue. And then of course, with our distribution partnership with Abdul Latif Jameel and in Saudi Arabia where we could be potentially selling aircraft. And again, that would be another way to pull forward revenue. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:21:44So we do see a balance and we see the model that Blade has as giving us flexibility and thank you for highlighting that opportunity. Austin MoellerDirector - Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets00:21:58Okay. And just a follow-up on the TIA aircraft that you're constructing. Are you able to discuss what the specs of that are like the maximum takeoff weight or if you stretch the fuselage at all? And the six aircraft that you're building for TIA testing, they're all expected to have different percentages of conforming parts to perform specific tasks, correct? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:22:22Yes. So a of clarifications there. One, the aircraft is nearly identical to the aircraft that we've been flying before, but it's, I really want to pound the table on how exciting this moment is. This is the culmination of more than a decade of hard work from the Joby team and close collaboration with the FAA. In order to build this aircraft, we had FAA DARs on the factory floor with us regularly doing inspections. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:23:10And they're inspecting the build of the aircraft against our quality systems. And again, this has to be, this is the final, this is the finish line, right? The aircraft that we're building is, before we could even start building it, we had to have a design that met all of the certification standards that we'd agreed to through phase one, two, three and four of the certification program. So all the progress that we've been reporting to you each quarter against stage one, against stage two, against three and four, that has all built to this moment. All of the work that we've done maturing our manufacturing systems and processes that has built to this moment. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:24:03And so, as I said in my prepared remarks, this is us putting the keystone in the arch. This is preparing for this really magical moment when this aircraft takes to the air then with Joby Pilots, and then we do for credit flights for certification credit with the FAA pilots on board. And so we're so proud and I really want to emphasize what a big deal this is for the whole Joby team. And yes, really just so grateful and it's a huge day for us today. Austin MoellerDirector - Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets00:24:47Very exciting. Thanks for the color, Joanna. Operator00:24:54The next question comes from the line of Christine Lewog with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed. Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:25:01Hey, good afternoon guys. And you've had a very, very jam packed quarter. So congrats on all these milestones. I mean with the acquisition of the Blade network, can you talk about how you're thinking about your first initial commercial service in The U. S? How did that change now that you own Blade? And where would you see your first initial cities where you're serving in The U. S. After this acquisition? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:25:29Thank you so much, Christine. So we do see incredible demand and incredible opportunities in markets across the country and around the world. But this acquisition of Blade really supercharges our operations in New York with an incredible existing operations team, with amazing VertiPort infrastructure, with exclusive lounges, with a loyal customer base. And we're just absolutely thrilled with the way that we believe this will allow us to really ramp our operations in New York much faster than we had previously planned on. Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:26:24Being based in New York, very excited to see that come to fruition. And following up on the certification regarding, I guess, airspace usage. So have you sorted with the municipalities in New York about the ability to use the Joby aircraft in these verdiports. Is that all sorted? Are you just waiting for the aircraft certification now? Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:26:46Or are there additional approvals you need before you enter into service there? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:26:52So we don't expect any additional work on the aerospace side beyond what the Blade operations currently entail. We work very closely with air traffic controllers in multiple markets across the country. And we've been doing really groundbreaking planning into for new verdiports. I'd also love to highlight the incredible work that the FAA is doing and that Secretary Sean Duffy has spoken about on enhancing and modernizing our air traffic control framework. So we think that's really fantastic and exciting. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:27:43I want to remind folks that once we get type certification, we also need to take and put our Joby aircraft onto a Part 135 operating certificate before we begin passenger service. We do have the opportunity to do air tours prior to the aircraft going on the 135, but that is an additional step on top of the type certification. Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:28:19Great. That's wonderful. And just following up lastly on the type certification, you said you're 75% of the way through for Stage four. Can you talk about the remaining 25%? What is there left to do? And what would the Stage five process look like? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:28:35Yes. Just one correction. On the Jovi side, we're 70% complete. And so the remaining 30% will come in over the next year or so as we progress the final pieces there. But the I want to be really clear that we do not need to be at 100% on stage four prior to beginning the TIA work. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:29:07So some of those stage four pieces are not required for the TIA flight test. So we do, we're at a very, very strong place, both on the Joby side and on the FAA side to deliver on our goals of beginning the TIA flight test with FAA pilots on board early next year. So the momentum is just absolutely phenomenal. And we're so grateful to the FA for the incredible lean in that they've shown for many quarters in a row here, just really going above and beyond. Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:29:53Wonderful. Thank you very much and congratulations again on your progress. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:29:57Thank you. Operator00:30:02Thank you. Thank you. And the next question comes from the line of Bill Peterson with JPMorgan. Please proceed. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:30:26Hi, good afternoon, everyone. Really a lot of terrific progress in the last quarter. I'd like to start off with the first question on Blade and maybe expand it from some of the prior questions. So I guess, what is the specific plans for expanding the passenger business currently in New York and Southern Europe? Do you see any additional opportunities for passenger to expand in other parts in the world or other cities in The U. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:30:49S? And again, this is assuming with helicopters first. And what does the team plan to do with the blades, jet and other business that seems like on face value maybe has a little bit less synergies? Paul SciarraExecutive Chairman at Joby Aviation00:31:02Thanks a lot, Bill. This is Paul. So we do actually see opportunities to continue to expand Blade's existing business even ahead certification of our aircraft. But look, that wasn't the reason for the acquisition. The reason for the acquisition is that the big limitation of that business has been essentially the sort of vehicles that they were using. Paul SciarraExecutive Chairman at Joby Aviation00:31:25We think we've got an opportunity to both expand the route map, lower cost or sort of increase margin and in turn fly higher temporal operations given the lower noise profile of our vehicle. So those I think are really the pieces that are going to be important to kind of more rapidly kind of taking full advantage of the important groundwork that Rob and the team at Blade have laid. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:31:52Okay. Yes. And then for my second question, given the call around the DoD's budget request for $9,400,000,000 for autonomous and hybrid aircraft, what do you think this can translate in terms of opportunity for Joby? I guess could this help fund R and D work or specific contracts or something else we should be looking at? Paul SciarraExecutive Chairman at Joby Aviation00:32:13Thanks a lot, Bill. This is Paul again. So two pieces to your question. Look, along the way, there's always opportunities for R and D funding to essentially offset some of the work that's necessary to deliver on the vehicles that we're talking about. That's been a strategy that we've used very effectively over the course of our engagements with DoD over the last six or seven years. Paul SciarraExecutive Chairman at Joby Aviation00:32:36But most importantly, and I think what you should see in the announcement with L3 is that we're sort of taking the next step in terms of missionizing this aircraft for the right use cases kind of against key contracts, whether existing or future that are matched against the capability gaps for different branches. And we're really pleased to be working with L3 on that front. Because of the depth of their engagement with many of these customers, they have a very strong understanding of kind of where those gaps are. And over the course of both the flight demonstrations in the fall and even more importantly, the demonstrations with customers early next year, that's going to, I think, be the opportunity to sort of open up the commercialization effort in a very significant way with the DoD. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:33:23Perfect. Again, great progress. I'll pass it on. You can go ask for a lot more questions but I want to be mindful for the rest of the analysts. Operator00:33:35The next question comes from the line of Chris Pearce with Needham and Company. Please proceed. Chris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & Company00:33:41Hey, you guys recently updated us on the Marina facility. I was wondering when and sorry if I missed this, but when might we hear more about the Ohio facility and more scaled production? I understand you don't want to produce these things at scale until you know you're further down the road with certification. So this is the sort of a backdoor we'd ask about certification timing, I guess when might we hear about Ohio manufacturing cadence margin on the OEM side of the business? Just kind of details around that would be helpful for modeling. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:34:10Yes. Thank you, Chris. So as I mentioned previously, we're really trying to think about this in a multi site horizontal scaled approach. First, with Marina, we are thrilled with the timeline that we were able to build and begin to populate our manufacturing, our larger manufacturing facility there, doubling our more than doubling our manufacturing footprint in Marina. And also really pleased with the work that the team is doing to mature and accelerate the build rate of both the components and the aircraft. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:35:07Just today, a report that we had manufactured 18,000 components in July alone. So it shows that Joby manufacturing globally is just hitting its stride and becoming more and more efficient and more and more productive. With regard to your question about Ohio, we're thrilled with the acquisition of our first building there and the build out of that. We're thrilled to be building our team in Ohio, doing training and can't wait for parts to start coming out of that facility. And also extremely excited about opportunities to continue to expand our Ohio footprint and the incredible support we've received from both Dayton and the state of Ohio and JobsOhio. They've been absolutely spectacular partners for us. Chris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & Company00:36:20Okay. Appreciate the detail. On slide eight, when you talked about Dubai, you're talking about this one Vertiport in the 2026. Does that get back to part 135 in touring, where it might be a kind of a something you can do with passengers in the 2026, but then you need further build out in like hotels or things like that? Or is there already infrastructure to land these things with passengers? Chris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & Company00:36:45Like I just want to get a sense of what needs to be done beyond what's in the letter to kind of start higher tempo passenger flight in Dubai? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:36:53It's a great question. I think one of the amazing things about our the flights that we did over there is that some of our key partners and potential partners were able to come and see flights and including many folks on the real estate and real estate development side. And the amount of interest and the excitement from real estate developers, in Dubai and around the world has never been greater. The ability to have a quiet electric aircraft land at your development and deliver folks, for example, from the airport to the Palm in a matter of minutes rather than nearly an hour, that's a game changer. And so we do see really significant momentum in opening up additional takeoff and landing locations. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:38:03Additionally, as I believe you're aware, our partner for building the vertiports in Dubai is Skyports, and they're making fantastic progress alongside RTA, the Rosen Transport Authority in planning and building out the network of VertiPorts in Dubai. And so we, as you mentioned, the first VertiPort that broke ground at DXP, the airport there is making great progress. And we're really excited to bring additional nodes online in the Dubai network and thrilled with the momentum we're seeing in Dubai overall. Chris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & Company00:38:55Okay. And then just lastly on Blade, is it fair to say that Blade didn't have any exclusive properties, but you gained a potential first mover advantage? Or am I is there more to it than that? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:39:08So Blade, one, has a number of exclusive lounges. Two, the real estate available at many of these vertiports is quite limited. And so it's valuable to have a place for passengers to wait out of the sun, out of the rain while they're getting ready to board their flight. So we do feel like the, although, you know, many of these sites are public access, having a lounge and a facility at those locations is extraordinarily valuable. Two, Blade also has a large network of takeoff and landing locations in Europe and as well as the greater New York area. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:40:13And we think that that network of takeoff and landing locations is an incredibly valuable and underappreciated asset. And we couldn't be more thrilled to be able to count that as a Jovi asset now. Operator00:40:49And the next question comes from the line of Savi Syth with Raymond James. Please proceed. Savanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:40:56Hey, good afternoon. It's definitely an action packed quarter here. If I can go back to the third aircraft, can I clarify if you're out of policy completely and this is just kind of the execution side, so like the MOC CERT plans are approved without placeholders or is this kind of being built at risk a little bit? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:41:22I would say that we are very much in the final, you know, yes, I would say that we're substantially out of policy, if not completely out of policy. The real focus right now with the FAA is on finalizing all of our TIA flight test plans and really, really thrilled with the lean in from the FAA on that front. You know, of course there's still the 50% of stage four that the FAA has to approve. But again, the progress that and they're just putting points on the board day after day. So we're, yeah, we feel extraordinarily good about where we are with the FAA and as well as where we are in terms of the design and manufacture of this aircraft. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:42:34We think this is a huge, huge milestone that we announced today. And just thrilled with the execution of the testing team. I don't know that I emphasized that enough. We didn't just finish building this airframe, we finished testing this airframe. So it's like, it's going into final assembly and it's got lots of green check marks. Savanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:42:56That's great. And then maybe along those lines, can I, as we kind of look forward to the third testing, I know kind of each aircraft, I think you said you'll build five will be designed to test something different? I wonder if you can kind of talk a little bit about like maybe what the first aircraft will be designed to test and what we can kind of look forward to? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:43:16Yes. So there are multiple TIA tests that we're working on getting the test plans that we're working on getting approval with the FAA. And each one of those each of the test plans has a specific one of those five aircraft that it's going to get that we plan to test it against. There is some flexibility, but we're targeting it. And the other thing I should emphasize is that we've started building parts for all five of those aircraft. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:43:56So some of them are, this one, for example, has now completed the testing. We have multiple others where the airframes are undergoing, going through the airframe assembly process. And we're building components and systems for many of them. So we're in full swing and I couldn't be more proud of the work that our incredible manufacturing team is doing across the sites in San Carlos Marina and soon Ohio. So absolutely thrilled and grateful to everybody on the Joby manufacturing team. Savanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:44:40Appreciate that, Joe. And can I, if I might ask a quick follow-up on a previous kind of question on the defense side? Have you kind of identified any specific programs of record? And I'm just kind of curious how meaningful that can be. I know you quoted a big DoD number, but was curious how much realistic kind of opportunity could be pursued here? Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:45:02Thanks, Savi. This is Paul. I mean, scoping up, this is a big moment, I think, for Rethink in terms of what the future of military aviation looks like. Recent conflicts have certainly shown that the sort of paradigm of large expensive crude helicopters for a wide variety of missions may not be the right one on a go forward basis. So we think we've got an opportunity in conjunction with L3 to essentially build something that is cheaper, quieter, autonomous and essentially flexible for a wide range of use cases. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:45:42So we called out a few, I think, in the announcement including contested logistics, counter UAS or counter drone and in turn electronic warfare. And fortunately, we are partnered with someone that has incredible payloads across each of those sort of functions. To answer your question, there are core existing programs that we are going after, but some of this is also about shaping programs in light of that big rethink that I mentioned at the front end. And what I think is very important in this sort of moment is being able to translate very quickly from demonstration into deployment. And that's where I think this dual use approach, essentially leveraging the same technologies and the same manufacturing lines that we're using for the commercial side, really pays dividends both to us as a company and in turn to our customers in defense. Savanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:46:34That's helpful, Paul. Thank you. Operator00:46:40The next question comes from the line of Amit Dayal with H. C. Wainwright. Please proceed. Amit DayalManaging Director & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co.00:46:47Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone, and congrats on all the progress this quarter. With respect to the certification timeline, do you have a sense of whether it's like next two or three quarters? Or is it a little bit longer before you are completely set up to get into operations? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:47:10Yes. Thank you for the question, Amit. Just to be clear, what we're guiding to is that we're on schedule to begin flying the TI aircraft with Joby pilots by later this year and to begin flying with FAA pilots on board by early next year. And so that's the, those are the flights that the FAA pilots fly to confirm that we are compliant. And that's what gives us points on the board for stage five. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:47:50And once those are complete, then we're in the final stretch of stage five and type certification. Amit DayalManaging Director & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co.00:48:01Understood. Thank you for that. And then, you know, is the Blade deal closed for you guys? I just wanted to see, you know, when we can potentially see contribution from the blade operations in your financials. Is it 4Q maybe we can see that? Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:48:19Amit, Rajigarh here. Look, we just signed and it will take few weeks to close. So more guidance when we get there. But right now we are just like in the process of announcing it. And then as you know, typical will take a few weeks to close. Amit DayalManaging Director & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co.00:48:36Understood. Those are the questions I have for now. I'll take my other questions offline. Thank you. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:48:41Thank you. Operator00:48:46Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that is all the time we have for today. We thank you for your participation in today's conference call. You may now disconnect your lines.

PresentationSkip to Participants Operator00:00:00Greetings, and welcome to the Joby Aviation Second Quarter Fiscal Year twenty twenty five Financial Results Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen only mode. A question and answer session will follow the formal presentation. As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. It is now my pleasure to introduce Theresa Theruthiel, Head of Investor Relations. Please go ahead. Teresa ThuruthiyilHead of Investor Realtions at Joby Aviation00:00:32Thank you. Good afternoon and evening, everyone. Thank you for joining us for Joby Aviation's second quarter twenty twenty five financial results conference call. I'm Theresa Therathiel, Joby's Head of Investor Relations. We will begin the discussion with remarks from Joban Bever, Founder and Chief Executive Officer and Rodrigo Brumana, Chief Financial Officer. Teresa ThuruthiyilHead of Investor Realtions at Joby Aviation00:00:53Paul Sciarra, our Executive Chairman, will be joining us later for Q and A. Please note that our discussion today will include statements regarding future events and financial performance as well as statements of belief, expectation and intent. These forward looking statements are based on management's current expectations and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied. For a more detailed discussion of these risks and uncertainties, please refer to our filings with the SEC and the Safe Harbor disclaimer contained in today's shareholder letter. The forward looking statements included in this call are made only as of the date of this call, and the company does not assume any obligation to update or revise them. Teresa ThuruthiyilHead of Investor Realtions at Joby Aviation00:01:40Also during the call, we'll refer both to GAAP and non GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of non GAAP to GAAP measures is included in our Q2 twenty twenty five shareholder letter, which you can find on our Investor Relations website along with the replay of this call. And with all of that said, I'll now turn the call over to Joe Ben. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:02:02Thank you, Teresa, and thank you everyone for joining us today. The last quarter was one of our best yet. We're delivering at an exceptional level on all fronts, on certification, on manufacturing and on commercialization. And we have so much to talk about that I'm going to get straight into it. The progress we've reported this quarter is unparalleled, supported by an incredible team, years of planning and a wealth of flight testing. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:02:32To put our flight testing into context, in July alone, we completed 76 separate flights with four different aircraft in three different locations around the world. These included both piloted and remotely piloted flights with vertical takeoffs, full transitions and vertical landings. And the amount of flight testing matters because it's the core of our certification effort. It's the way you drive maturity into an aircraft program, whether for commercial or defense use, and it's the way you wring out technical issues to mitigate expensive changes later in the certification process. Our team is delivering day in and day out and they know that if you're in the business of flying aircraft, you have to actually fly aircraft. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:03:20In stage four of certification, we're now 70% complete on the Joby side and more than 50% complete on the FAA side, up 10 points from last quarter. And we're gearing up for stage five. During this stage, Joby and FAA pilots will fly our aircraft to validate all of our certification work ahead of receiving a type certification. And I'm pleased to say, as we announced this morning, the first of five aircraft for TIA flight testing is headed to final assembly, and we remain on track to start flying our TIA aircraft with Joby pilots this year and to begin TIA certification flights with FAA pilots early next year. For context, this is a milestone you don't reach at the flip of a switch. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:04:11There are very few, if any certification processes that are as involved as the steps required to reach type inspection authorization. It's multi variable, time intensive and relies on not just your own execution, but also that of the FAA. We've been at this for more than a decade, developing, iterating and collaborating on paper and in practice. We've taken a concept and turned it into a conforming design with approved test plans and the ability to manufacture under a quality management system, all in alignment with the FAA. We're now putting the keystone in the arch. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:04:52Alongside our certification progress, the global regulatory momentum is undeniable. Here in The U. S, the White House, DOT and FAA are setting the pace for next generation aviation. For eVTOL, the executive order on drone dominance directs the FAA and DOT to establish programs for state and local governments to partner with companies like ours on early operations. Globally, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, The U. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:05:22S. And The UK markets with huge long term opportunity for Joby came together to streamline international validation of FAA type certification for aircraft like ours. This took years of public private collaboration that we expect to pay dividends in the years to come. I was also particularly excited that the FAA finalized the Mosaic and BB loss rules, which opened a world of opportunity for new personal aircraft, new propulsion systems and new ways of flying. I've been on this mission with Joby for more than fifteen years. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:06:00We're witnessing a global sea change in regulatory landscape that I believe will define the next century of aviation. And in doing so, I believe we are defining the very fabric of how we will live. Each of the ingredients that I have just spoken about, the maturity of our platform, the rigorous aircraft testing and the progress we're making on certification, all contribute to our success on commercialization. This quarter was pivotal. We completed flight testing in Dubai. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:06:32We reached a definitive agreement to acquire Blade's passenger business. We signed agreements for aircraft with long term partners Abdul Latif, Jameel and ANA. And with L3Harris, we're exploring opportunities to leverage our existing technology platform for defense applications. Let's start with Dubai. Earlier this summer, we achieved another industry first. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:06:56We completed a multi week campaign in The UAE with 21 piloted flights, including vertical takeoff, transition to wing borne flight and vertical landing. And we did this in challenging real world conditions. We delivered sustained operations in temperatures nearing 110 degrees Fahrenheit. We gained invaluable insights about the performance of our aircraft as we prepare to move from flight testing to exhibition flights and on to commercial service. With the acquisition of Blade, we're accelerating our readiness for commercial eVTOL operations globally, including in Dubai. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:07:32Over the last decade, Rob and the team at Blade have built a scaled vTOL business, operational expertise and a premium customer experience. But the Blade acquisition delivers much more than operational experience. On day one post certification, Joby will have the infrastructure, team and routes to start electrified service in key U. S. And international markets. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:07:57This gives us a defensible first mover advantage and creates a competitive edge that will be difficult to replicate. We'll also have access today to a deep and loyal customer base with a demonstrated high willingness to pay to save time. Last year alone, Blade moved more than 50,000 passengers. The plan is simple. We take the existing Blade operations and we add eVTOL. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:08:22This will allow us to expand route maps, fly higher tempo operations given the lower nose profile and increase margins with lower operating costs than helicopters. And while we're waiting for our eVTOL to come online, we'll be able to build Joby's market leading operational software into Blade to drive efficiency and improve customer experience. We have three paths to commercialization. In addition to the owned and operated service, we're pursuing direct sales and regional partnerships. Yesterday, we announced plans to establish a joint venture with our partner ANA. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:09:00The plan is to deploy more than 100 aircraft in the region, as well as build an air taxi service ecosystem. We need pilot training, vertiports and maintenance just as much as we need the aircraft. Through this collaboration, we see potential to build a playbook to replicate in other markets. Similarly, we're making progress on distribution. With longstanding investor Abdul Latif Jameel, we announced we're exploring the sale of up to 200 aircraft in Saudi Arabia valued at approximately $1,000,000,000 Abdul Latif Jameel has deep ties in The Middle East, and we look forward to growing this relationship. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:09:42Finally, we announced a new collaboration with L3Harris to develop a hybrid variant of our existing aircraft to pursue low altitude defense opportunities. To be clear, defense and dual use technology has always been a core to Joby's strategy, a point demonstrated by our long history with the DoD. We already set the pace for VTOL and defense being the first and only company to deliver eVTOL aircraft to a government customer facility, which we've now done twice. And we're the only company to have already shown electric VTOL aircraft can be hybridized for longer range with our record breaking five sixty one mile hydrogen electric flight last summer. We're leveraging that history, adapting our existing platform with turbine electric propulsion and missionization. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:10:33We're now ready to set the pace again with flight tests of this new expected to start this fall and operational demonstrations expected in early twenty twenty six with government customers. With our existing production capability, we're confident we can move quickly from demonstration to deployment, a testament to the value of a dual use approach. We also see this work benefiting our commercial operations. The work we'll do to mature vehicle level autonomy and turbine electric powertrains can feed back into our commercial business, allowing for commercial products that are faster and longer range. This work comes at a critical time in the retooling of U. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:11:13S. And allied defense. The DoD has requested 9,400,000,000 in the FY 'twenty six budget to advance uncrewed and remotely operated aircraft, and we see significant opportunity for Joby and our partners. As our path to certification and commercialization becomes increasingly clear, our next challenge will be scaling production capacity to meet demand. And as I've said before, this is not an easy task, but it is one that we're well placed to tackle. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:11:42I'm incredibly proud of the progress we've already made to establish conforming production lines. And with our first TIA aircraft moving to final assembly, I'm confident we're leading the way. The expansion of our Marina facility is an important step on the road to scale. It will double our production capacity to two dozen aircraft per year. And our Dayton facility is now coming online. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:12:06This dual site strategy is designed to scale horizontally and eventually produce up to 500 aircraft per year. As an engineer, I care very deeply about manufacturing and I love walking the manufacturing floors to see where we can drive process and efficiency improvements from the current line, including adding automation to reduce cost and increase efficiency and throughput. We're only at the beginning of the S curve. So while early improvements will be significant, they won't be easy. But the base we are building from is strong. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:12:39We're leading the way on production conforming lines. We're leading the way on ramping production. And of course, we have Toyota, the world's leading automaker at our side. Rodrigo, over to you. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:12:50Thanks, Joban, and hello everyone. I'm thrilled to be joining Joby at such a pivotal time. What brought me here is simple. This is a company building a reality that does not exist today. Joby will make air travel an everyday reality, but that's not an easy task. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:13:10The team is solving hard problems with rigor from certification to manufacturing to global deployment. What stood out to me is the rare alignment of vision, execution and capital. We have a strong balance sheet, long term partners and a team that understands how to turn bold ideas into tangible outcomes. In every conversation I had before joining, whether with engineers, test pilots, or operating leaders, I saw the same thing, quiet excellence and relentless focus. In my first few weeks on the job, I witnessed the team coming together to deliver the historic Dubai flights with precision, intensity and pride. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:13:56He showed me what this company is made of. As a newcomer, I can say with high conviction, this is the real deal. As CFO, my focus is very clear. Number one, ensure we scale methodically. Number two, stay disciplined with capital. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:14:15And number three, translate our technical and regulatory progress into long term value. Now shifting to our Q2 financial results. We ended the 2025 with cash and short term investments totaling $991,000,000 We closed the first $250,000,000 tranche from Toyota and received an additional $41,000,000 through our ATM facility. Our Q2 twenty twenty five use of cash totaled $112,000,000 $10,000,000 lower than last quarter, primarily due to having one less payroll run-in the quarter, partially offset by growth in operating expenses. This spending also included about $12,000,000 on property and equipment. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:15:07We remain on track with our full year 2025 guidance of $500,000,000 to $540,000,000 in use of cash, excluding any potential impact from our proposed acquisition of Blade's passenger business. On a GAAP basis, we reported a Q2 net loss of $325,000,000 which includes a $168,000,000 operating loss and a $157,000,000 non operating loss both impacted by non cash items. The net loss was two forty two million dollars higher than the prior quarter, primarily due to an increase in our share price reflecting an unfavorable non cash revaluation of warrants, earn out shares and the Toyota first tranche investment we received. Total operating expenses for the quarter were $168,000,000 up about $5,000,000 from the prior quarter. The increase was driven by higher staffing and program spend to support key milestones, including progress on the final assembly of our first TIA aircraft. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:16:21Adjusted EBITDA in non GAAP metric that we reconcile to our net income in our shareholder letter was a loss of $132,000,000 in the second quarter. This was about $4,000,000 higher than the prior quarter, reflecting the increased spending I mentioned before. Compared to the same period last year, our adjusted EBITDA loss was $24,000,000 higher reflecting growth in our organization to support the design, manufacture and the certification progress of our aircraft in earning investments related to commercialization. As Jobin said before, 2025 has been and will continue to be a pivotal year for Joby and for this new industry. You should expect us to keep flying in diverse conditions and locations, forging new partnerships in laying the groundwork for support across regulations, infrastructure and operations. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:17:23You should see the closing of our Blade acquisition and the integration of their operating know how as a key advantage in preparing for commercial service. You should see us continue maturing our low rate manufacturing efforts into a scaled production capabilities in leveraging our best in class partner Toyota to do this together. You should also stay tuned as we develop hybrid aircraft for U. S. Defense combining Joby's VTOL and autonomy capabilities with L3Harry's expertise. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:18:01Joby remains the only company to deliver EVTOLs to a U. S. Air Force base in flight full transition piloted and unpiloted missions of full scale EVTOL aircraft today. I want to be realistic about the amount of work we have in front of us. It is not going to be easy. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:18:24We are building a reality that does not exist today. Our path will be challenging, but we embrace it and are executing with tangible results as we shape our future lines of revenue. Now, with our three paths to generating revenue in mind, let's recap. Number one, as a neurotaxy operator direct to consumer business, we made an exciting acquisition that is expected to accelerate our timeline. We have a strong backing from local and global regulators and we continue to demonstrate our commitment to bring flying to everyday life. Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:19:04Number two, for partner service, our relationship with ANA in Japan provides an opportunity to collaborate on air taxi ecosystem in the key market. And number three, under the banner of aircraft sales, we look forward to sharing more about our distribution relationship with Abdul Latif Genmil for electric aircraft and with L3 Harries for autonomous and hybrid aircraft. Look forward to continue sharing our progress with you. At this time operator, please open the call for questions. Operator00:19:38Thank And the first question comes from the line of Austin Moeller with Canaccord Genuity. Please proceed. Austin MoellerDirector - Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets00:20:09Hi, good afternoon. So just my first question here. Now that you bought Blade, are you preparing to or are you planning to provide S-forty V tolls to the local charter operators that own those helicopters and have a similar model to Blade? Or are you still planning to operate and own the aircraft yourselves? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:20:31Thanks a lot. Austin, this is Joe Ben. We're going to remain flexible on that. Here in The U. S, we do have a preference for retaining the long term free cash flow and the long term revenues from the passenger service. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:20:56But we do see Blade's asset light model as being a valuable one. I think as you look at our partnership with ANA where our operation in Japan will be co owned. That also gives us the opportunity to pull forward revenue. And then of course, with our distribution partnership with Abdul Latif Jameel and in Saudi Arabia where we could be potentially selling aircraft. And again, that would be another way to pull forward revenue. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:21:44So we do see a balance and we see the model that Blade has as giving us flexibility and thank you for highlighting that opportunity. Austin MoellerDirector - Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets00:21:58Okay. And just a follow-up on the TIA aircraft that you're constructing. Are you able to discuss what the specs of that are like the maximum takeoff weight or if you stretch the fuselage at all? And the six aircraft that you're building for TIA testing, they're all expected to have different percentages of conforming parts to perform specific tasks, correct? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:22:22Yes. So a of clarifications there. One, the aircraft is nearly identical to the aircraft that we've been flying before, but it's, I really want to pound the table on how exciting this moment is. This is the culmination of more than a decade of hard work from the Joby team and close collaboration with the FAA. In order to build this aircraft, we had FAA DARs on the factory floor with us regularly doing inspections. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:23:10And they're inspecting the build of the aircraft against our quality systems. And again, this has to be, this is the final, this is the finish line, right? The aircraft that we're building is, before we could even start building it, we had to have a design that met all of the certification standards that we'd agreed to through phase one, two, three and four of the certification program. So all the progress that we've been reporting to you each quarter against stage one, against stage two, against three and four, that has all built to this moment. All of the work that we've done maturing our manufacturing systems and processes that has built to this moment. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:24:03And so, as I said in my prepared remarks, this is us putting the keystone in the arch. This is preparing for this really magical moment when this aircraft takes to the air then with Joby Pilots, and then we do for credit flights for certification credit with the FAA pilots on board. And so we're so proud and I really want to emphasize what a big deal this is for the whole Joby team. And yes, really just so grateful and it's a huge day for us today. Austin MoellerDirector - Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital Markets00:24:47Very exciting. Thanks for the color, Joanna. Operator00:24:54The next question comes from the line of Christine Lewog with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed. Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:25:01Hey, good afternoon guys. And you've had a very, very jam packed quarter. So congrats on all these milestones. I mean with the acquisition of the Blade network, can you talk about how you're thinking about your first initial commercial service in The U. S? How did that change now that you own Blade? And where would you see your first initial cities where you're serving in The U. S. After this acquisition? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:25:29Thank you so much, Christine. So we do see incredible demand and incredible opportunities in markets across the country and around the world. But this acquisition of Blade really supercharges our operations in New York with an incredible existing operations team, with amazing VertiPort infrastructure, with exclusive lounges, with a loyal customer base. And we're just absolutely thrilled with the way that we believe this will allow us to really ramp our operations in New York much faster than we had previously planned on. Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:26:24Being based in New York, very excited to see that come to fruition. And following up on the certification regarding, I guess, airspace usage. So have you sorted with the municipalities in New York about the ability to use the Joby aircraft in these verdiports. Is that all sorted? Are you just waiting for the aircraft certification now? Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:26:46Or are there additional approvals you need before you enter into service there? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:26:52So we don't expect any additional work on the aerospace side beyond what the Blade operations currently entail. We work very closely with air traffic controllers in multiple markets across the country. And we've been doing really groundbreaking planning into for new verdiports. I'd also love to highlight the incredible work that the FAA is doing and that Secretary Sean Duffy has spoken about on enhancing and modernizing our air traffic control framework. So we think that's really fantastic and exciting. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:27:43I want to remind folks that once we get type certification, we also need to take and put our Joby aircraft onto a Part 135 operating certificate before we begin passenger service. We do have the opportunity to do air tours prior to the aircraft going on the 135, but that is an additional step on top of the type certification. Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:28:19Great. That's wonderful. And just following up lastly on the type certification, you said you're 75% of the way through for Stage four. Can you talk about the remaining 25%? What is there left to do? And what would the Stage five process look like? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:28:35Yes. Just one correction. On the Jovi side, we're 70% complete. And so the remaining 30% will come in over the next year or so as we progress the final pieces there. But the I want to be really clear that we do not need to be at 100% on stage four prior to beginning the TIA work. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:29:07So some of those stage four pieces are not required for the TIA flight test. So we do, we're at a very, very strong place, both on the Joby side and on the FAA side to deliver on our goals of beginning the TIA flight test with FAA pilots on board early next year. So the momentum is just absolutely phenomenal. And we're so grateful to the FA for the incredible lean in that they've shown for many quarters in a row here, just really going above and beyond. Kristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan Stanley00:29:53Wonderful. Thank you very much and congratulations again on your progress. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:29:57Thank you. Operator00:30:02Thank you. Thank you. And the next question comes from the line of Bill Peterson with JPMorgan. Please proceed. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:30:26Hi, good afternoon, everyone. Really a lot of terrific progress in the last quarter. I'd like to start off with the first question on Blade and maybe expand it from some of the prior questions. So I guess, what is the specific plans for expanding the passenger business currently in New York and Southern Europe? Do you see any additional opportunities for passenger to expand in other parts in the world or other cities in The U. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:30:49S? And again, this is assuming with helicopters first. And what does the team plan to do with the blades, jet and other business that seems like on face value maybe has a little bit less synergies? Paul SciarraExecutive Chairman at Joby Aviation00:31:02Thanks a lot, Bill. This is Paul. So we do actually see opportunities to continue to expand Blade's existing business even ahead certification of our aircraft. But look, that wasn't the reason for the acquisition. The reason for the acquisition is that the big limitation of that business has been essentially the sort of vehicles that they were using. Paul SciarraExecutive Chairman at Joby Aviation00:31:25We think we've got an opportunity to both expand the route map, lower cost or sort of increase margin and in turn fly higher temporal operations given the lower noise profile of our vehicle. So those I think are really the pieces that are going to be important to kind of more rapidly kind of taking full advantage of the important groundwork that Rob and the team at Blade have laid. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:31:52Okay. Yes. And then for my second question, given the call around the DoD's budget request for $9,400,000,000 for autonomous and hybrid aircraft, what do you think this can translate in terms of opportunity for Joby? I guess could this help fund R and D work or specific contracts or something else we should be looking at? Paul SciarraExecutive Chairman at Joby Aviation00:32:13Thanks a lot, Bill. This is Paul again. So two pieces to your question. Look, along the way, there's always opportunities for R and D funding to essentially offset some of the work that's necessary to deliver on the vehicles that we're talking about. That's been a strategy that we've used very effectively over the course of our engagements with DoD over the last six or seven years. Paul SciarraExecutive Chairman at Joby Aviation00:32:36But most importantly, and I think what you should see in the announcement with L3 is that we're sort of taking the next step in terms of missionizing this aircraft for the right use cases kind of against key contracts, whether existing or future that are matched against the capability gaps for different branches. And we're really pleased to be working with L3 on that front. Because of the depth of their engagement with many of these customers, they have a very strong understanding of kind of where those gaps are. And over the course of both the flight demonstrations in the fall and even more importantly, the demonstrations with customers early next year, that's going to, I think, be the opportunity to sort of open up the commercialization effort in a very significant way with the DoD. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:33:23Perfect. Again, great progress. I'll pass it on. You can go ask for a lot more questions but I want to be mindful for the rest of the analysts. Operator00:33:35The next question comes from the line of Chris Pearce with Needham and Company. Please proceed. Chris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & Company00:33:41Hey, you guys recently updated us on the Marina facility. I was wondering when and sorry if I missed this, but when might we hear more about the Ohio facility and more scaled production? I understand you don't want to produce these things at scale until you know you're further down the road with certification. So this is the sort of a backdoor we'd ask about certification timing, I guess when might we hear about Ohio manufacturing cadence margin on the OEM side of the business? Just kind of details around that would be helpful for modeling. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:34:10Yes. Thank you, Chris. So as I mentioned previously, we're really trying to think about this in a multi site horizontal scaled approach. First, with Marina, we are thrilled with the timeline that we were able to build and begin to populate our manufacturing, our larger manufacturing facility there, doubling our more than doubling our manufacturing footprint in Marina. And also really pleased with the work that the team is doing to mature and accelerate the build rate of both the components and the aircraft. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:35:07Just today, a report that we had manufactured 18,000 components in July alone. So it shows that Joby manufacturing globally is just hitting its stride and becoming more and more efficient and more and more productive. With regard to your question about Ohio, we're thrilled with the acquisition of our first building there and the build out of that. We're thrilled to be building our team in Ohio, doing training and can't wait for parts to start coming out of that facility. And also extremely excited about opportunities to continue to expand our Ohio footprint and the incredible support we've received from both Dayton and the state of Ohio and JobsOhio. They've been absolutely spectacular partners for us. Chris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & Company00:36:20Okay. Appreciate the detail. On slide eight, when you talked about Dubai, you're talking about this one Vertiport in the 2026. Does that get back to part 135 in touring, where it might be a kind of a something you can do with passengers in the 2026, but then you need further build out in like hotels or things like that? Or is there already infrastructure to land these things with passengers? Chris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & Company00:36:45Like I just want to get a sense of what needs to be done beyond what's in the letter to kind of start higher tempo passenger flight in Dubai? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:36:53It's a great question. I think one of the amazing things about our the flights that we did over there is that some of our key partners and potential partners were able to come and see flights and including many folks on the real estate and real estate development side. And the amount of interest and the excitement from real estate developers, in Dubai and around the world has never been greater. The ability to have a quiet electric aircraft land at your development and deliver folks, for example, from the airport to the Palm in a matter of minutes rather than nearly an hour, that's a game changer. And so we do see really significant momentum in opening up additional takeoff and landing locations. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:38:03Additionally, as I believe you're aware, our partner for building the vertiports in Dubai is Skyports, and they're making fantastic progress alongside RTA, the Rosen Transport Authority in planning and building out the network of VertiPorts in Dubai. And so we, as you mentioned, the first VertiPort that broke ground at DXP, the airport there is making great progress. And we're really excited to bring additional nodes online in the Dubai network and thrilled with the momentum we're seeing in Dubai overall. Chris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & Company00:38:55Okay. And then just lastly on Blade, is it fair to say that Blade didn't have any exclusive properties, but you gained a potential first mover advantage? Or am I is there more to it than that? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:39:08So Blade, one, has a number of exclusive lounges. Two, the real estate available at many of these vertiports is quite limited. And so it's valuable to have a place for passengers to wait out of the sun, out of the rain while they're getting ready to board their flight. So we do feel like the, although, you know, many of these sites are public access, having a lounge and a facility at those locations is extraordinarily valuable. Two, Blade also has a large network of takeoff and landing locations in Europe and as well as the greater New York area. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:40:13And we think that that network of takeoff and landing locations is an incredibly valuable and underappreciated asset. And we couldn't be more thrilled to be able to count that as a Jovi asset now. Operator00:40:49And the next question comes from the line of Savi Syth with Raymond James. Please proceed. Savanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:40:56Hey, good afternoon. It's definitely an action packed quarter here. If I can go back to the third aircraft, can I clarify if you're out of policy completely and this is just kind of the execution side, so like the MOC CERT plans are approved without placeholders or is this kind of being built at risk a little bit? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:41:22I would say that we are very much in the final, you know, yes, I would say that we're substantially out of policy, if not completely out of policy. The real focus right now with the FAA is on finalizing all of our TIA flight test plans and really, really thrilled with the lean in from the FAA on that front. You know, of course there's still the 50% of stage four that the FAA has to approve. But again, the progress that and they're just putting points on the board day after day. So we're, yeah, we feel extraordinarily good about where we are with the FAA and as well as where we are in terms of the design and manufacture of this aircraft. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:42:34We think this is a huge, huge milestone that we announced today. And just thrilled with the execution of the testing team. I don't know that I emphasized that enough. We didn't just finish building this airframe, we finished testing this airframe. So it's like, it's going into final assembly and it's got lots of green check marks. Savanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:42:56That's great. And then maybe along those lines, can I, as we kind of look forward to the third testing, I know kind of each aircraft, I think you said you'll build five will be designed to test something different? I wonder if you can kind of talk a little bit about like maybe what the first aircraft will be designed to test and what we can kind of look forward to? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:43:16Yes. So there are multiple TIA tests that we're working on getting the test plans that we're working on getting approval with the FAA. And each one of those each of the test plans has a specific one of those five aircraft that it's going to get that we plan to test it against. There is some flexibility, but we're targeting it. And the other thing I should emphasize is that we've started building parts for all five of those aircraft. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:43:56So some of them are, this one, for example, has now completed the testing. We have multiple others where the airframes are undergoing, going through the airframe assembly process. And we're building components and systems for many of them. So we're in full swing and I couldn't be more proud of the work that our incredible manufacturing team is doing across the sites in San Carlos Marina and soon Ohio. So absolutely thrilled and grateful to everybody on the Joby manufacturing team. Savanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:44:40Appreciate that, Joe. And can I, if I might ask a quick follow-up on a previous kind of question on the defense side? Have you kind of identified any specific programs of record? And I'm just kind of curious how meaningful that can be. I know you quoted a big DoD number, but was curious how much realistic kind of opportunity could be pursued here? Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:45:02Thanks, Savi. This is Paul. I mean, scoping up, this is a big moment, I think, for Rethink in terms of what the future of military aviation looks like. Recent conflicts have certainly shown that the sort of paradigm of large expensive crude helicopters for a wide variety of missions may not be the right one on a go forward basis. So we think we've got an opportunity in conjunction with L3 to essentially build something that is cheaper, quieter, autonomous and essentially flexible for a wide range of use cases. Bill PetersonEquity Research at JP Morgan00:45:42So we called out a few, I think, in the announcement including contested logistics, counter UAS or counter drone and in turn electronic warfare. And fortunately, we are partnered with someone that has incredible payloads across each of those sort of functions. To answer your question, there are core existing programs that we are going after, but some of this is also about shaping programs in light of that big rethink that I mentioned at the front end. And what I think is very important in this sort of moment is being able to translate very quickly from demonstration into deployment. And that's where I think this dual use approach, essentially leveraging the same technologies and the same manufacturing lines that we're using for the commercial side, really pays dividends both to us as a company and in turn to our customers in defense. Savanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James Financial00:46:34That's helpful, Paul. Thank you. Operator00:46:40The next question comes from the line of Amit Dayal with H. C. Wainwright. Please proceed. Amit DayalManaging Director & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co.00:46:47Thank you. Good afternoon, everyone, and congrats on all the progress this quarter. With respect to the certification timeline, do you have a sense of whether it's like next two or three quarters? Or is it a little bit longer before you are completely set up to get into operations? JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:47:10Yes. Thank you for the question, Amit. Just to be clear, what we're guiding to is that we're on schedule to begin flying the TI aircraft with Joby pilots by later this year and to begin flying with FAA pilots on board by early next year. And so that's the, those are the flights that the FAA pilots fly to confirm that we are compliant. And that's what gives us points on the board for stage five. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:47:50And once those are complete, then we're in the final stretch of stage five and type certification. Amit DayalManaging Director & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co.00:48:01Understood. Thank you for that. And then, you know, is the Blade deal closed for you guys? I just wanted to see, you know, when we can potentially see contribution from the blade operations in your financials. Is it 4Q maybe we can see that? Rodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at Poshmark00:48:19Amit, Rajigarh here. Look, we just signed and it will take few weeks to close. So more guidance when we get there. But right now we are just like in the process of announcing it. And then as you know, typical will take a few weeks to close. Amit DayalManaging Director & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C. Wainwright & Co.00:48:36Understood. Those are the questions I have for now. I'll take my other questions offline. Thank you. JoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & Director at Joby Aviation00:48:41Thank you. Operator00:48:46Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, that is all the time we have for today. We thank you for your participation in today's conference call. You may now disconnect your lines. Thank you.Read moreParticipantsExecutivesTeresa ThuruthiyilHead of Investor RealtionsJoeBen BevirtFounder, CEO & DirectorPaul SciarraExecutive ChairmanAnalystsRodrigo BrumanaChief Financial Officer at PoshmarkAustin MoellerDirector - Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity - Global Capital MarketsKristine LiwagExecutive Director at Morgan StanleyBill PetersonEquity Research at JP MorganChris PierceSenior Analyst at Needham & CompanySavanthi SythManaging Director at Raymond James FinancialAmit DayalManaging Director & Senior Technology Analyst at H.C.
