Santa Cruz, CA, February 26, 2025 — Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY), a company developing electric air taxis for commercial passenger service, today issued its Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Shareholder Letter (https://joby-site.cdn.prismic.io/joby-site/Z75z057c43Q3gO6b_Joby-Aviation_2024-Q4-Shareholder-Letter.pdf) detailing the company’s operational and financial results for the period ending December 31, 2024. The company will host a live audio webcast of its conference call to discuss the results at 2:00 p.m. PT (5:00 p.m. ET) today.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights include:
●Record Certification Progress: We made record progress on the fourth of five stages required to certify our aircraft for commercial passenger use in the US. We expect Type Inspection Authorization (“TIA”) flight testing to begin in the next 12 months.
●Defense Partnerships: We delivered a second aircraft to Edwards Air Force Base as part of our work with the U.S. Department of Defense. We now have five aircraft in our flight test fleet, including a hydrogen-hybrid aircraft.
●First Passenger Operations: We plan to deliver an aircraft to Dubai in the middle of 2025 to complete flight testing ahead of carrying our first passengers in late 2025 or early 2026.
●Strong Balance Sheet: We received more than $1B of additional funding and commitments in the fourth quarter.
●Successful demonstration flights in Korea: We became the first company to fly an electric air taxi as part of Korea’s K-UAM Grand Challenge.
Commenting on Joby’s full year results, JoeBen Bevirt, founder and CEO, said: “The sector-leading progress we made throughout 2024 puts Joby in a great position to capitalize on the opportunities presented by America’s renewed focus on innovation and manufacturing.
“As well as delivering record progress on certification, we scaled our manufacturing, delivered two aircraft to the Department of Defense and flew 561 miles with a hybrid, hydrogen-electric variant of our aircraft, bringing the flight test fleet to a total of five aircraft.
“The next 12 months mark a critical inflection point, not just for Joby, but for our entire industry, as we look ahead to carrying our first passengers, and I’m proud that Joby continues to lead the way towards this new era of flight.”
Joby ended the fourth quarter of 2024 with $933 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities. This balance does not include expected Toyota investments totaling $500 million, to be made in two equal tranches of $250 million. All regulatory approvals are now in place for the first tranche of this investment to be made.

Record certification progress Successful demonstration flights in Korea Targeting first passenger operations in late 2025 or early 2026 Five aircraft in flight test fleet, second delivered to Edwards Air Force Base First vertiport in Dubai network under construction $933 million in cash and short-term investments plus additional $500M commitment from Toyota The second tranche of the Toyota investment is subject to closing conditions described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 2, 2024, and is not guaranteed. Joby AviationQ4 2024 Shareholder Letter February 26, 2025 2 Highlights
Record Certification Progress WE SAW THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROGRESS on the fourth stage of the type certification process to date, with a 12 percentage point increase on the Joby side and a 10 point increase on the FAA side, bringing us to more than 50% complete on the Joby side. We marked a key milestone with the successful completion of our first FAA ‘for-credit’ test on a major aerostructure and we completed our first Type Inspection Authorization (“TIA”) testing with the FAA, using our flight simulation lab and conforming flight deck to perform human factors testing with FAA pilots. Completion of our first TIA testing is an acknowledgment by the FAA of the maturity of our certification program. We also welcomed FAA pilots and engineers assigned to our certification program to Marina where they flew in our simulator some of the exact test cards we intend to use for flight TIA. Afterwards, the FAA pilots observed as Joby pilots flew those same test cards in the aircraft as part of our ongoing inhabited flight test campaign. We expect to continue expanding engagements like these as we prepare for flight TIA, which we plan to begin in the next 12 months. Percentage completion may fluctuate mildly through the course of certification as documents are edited and resubmitted. Data as of February 25, 2025. It is typical for a small portion of the Means of Compliance to remain open in order to address minor design changes and improvements that may occur later in the process. We therefore consider the second stage essentially complete.

WE REACHED OUR TARGET of achieving the capacity to build parts equivalent to one aircraft per month. A majority of these parts are destined for testing as part of the certification process. We also rolled out and flew our fourth production prototype, bringing the total number of aircraft in our flight test fleet to five. Having access to a fleet of this size is unparalleled in our industry and allows us to rigorously test the performance of our aircraft while perfecting our production processes. Over 95% of the composite components produced on our manufacturing lines are now fully conforming and the expansion of our Marina facility remains on track. The new facility will more than double our footprint in Marina, supporting expanded manufacturing and flight training. We remain on track to deliver the first parts from our Ohio facility in mid-2025. Manufacturing Progress Joby AviationQ4 2024 Shareholder Letter February 26, 2025 4
WE CONTINUE TO BE THE ONLY COMPANY in our sector to have delivered an electric air taxi on-base to our DoD partners. In January 2025, a second Joby aircraft was delivered to Edwards Air Force Base to expand ongoing flight testing with our U.S. Air Force partners. We also became the first company to complete a training program covering the maintenance of our aircraft, having previously trained four U.S. Air Force pilots to fly it. In 2024, we also became the first company to demonstrate a hybrid hydrogen-electric aircraft to our DoD partners, completing multiple flights exceeding 500 miles including vertical take-offs and landings. Leveraging our vertical integration, this program demonstrated our ability to rapidly deliver versions of our core aircraft with different powertrains in order to meet varying performance requirements for our government partners. Defense Partnerships Joby AviationQ4 2024 Shareholder Letter February 26, 2025 5
CONSTRUCTION HAS BEGUN on the first vertiport in our planned network. Situated at Dubai International Airport, the vertiport is being built by Joby partners Dubai Road and Transport Authority and Skyports. Three additional vertiports are planned for Palm Jumeirah, Dubai Downtown, and Dubai Marina. We signed a strategic partnership with Jetex, a global leader in executive aviation, that will focus on using Joby aircraft to connect Jetex locations across the Middle East. Jetex VIP terminals include flagship locations at Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai and Al Bateen Executive Airport in Abu Dhabi, providing seamless access to key financial, tourist, and entertainment destinations within the UAE. In the U.S., we received a Part 141 certificate from the FAA for our flight academy as well as FAA acceptance for our air operations voluntary Safety Management System, as established under Part 5. With the Part 141 certificate, Joby Aviation Academy can deliver streamlined pilot training to efficiently and economically develop a pipeline of qualified pilots in advance of commercial air taxi operations. By the middle of this year, we plan to deliver our first aircraft to Dubai and begin in-market testing. We intend to carry our first passengers in the Emirate in late 2025 or early 2026. Preparing for Commercial Operations Joby AviationQ4 2024 Shareholder Letter February 26, 2025 6 Render of planned vertiport at Dubai International Airport.
Demonstration Flights in Korea WE BECAME THE FIRST COMPANY to fly an electric air taxi in Korea’s K-UAM Grand Challenge, launched in 2023 by Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to support the commercialization of air taxis in the Korean market. Over the course of a week, we completed a range of missions demonstrating various flight profiles and conditions, including fully wing-borne flight. Joby participated in the Grand Challenge as part of the “K-UAM Dream Team,” a consortium that includes SK Telecom, Hanwha Systems, TMAP and Korea Airports Corporation, which operates the vast majority of airports in Korea.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Summary IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2024, our financial results reflected our ongoing investments to advance the certification progress of our electric aircraft and to prepare for commercialization of a fast, quiet and convenient service in cities around the world. Net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $246.3 million, comprising a net operating loss of $149.9 million and other loss of $96.4 million. Net operating loss primarily reflected costs and expenses to support the certification and manufacturing of our aircraft. Operating expenses included non-cash stock- based compensation of $21.7 million, and depreciation and amortization of $9.5 million. Other loss was primarily comprised of non-cash loss on revaluation of warrants and earnout shares of $106.7 million, partially offset by interest and other income of $9.8 million. Compared with the fourth quarter of 2023, net loss for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased by $131.2 million primarily due to increases in the non- cash loss on revaluation of warrants and earnout shares of $106.9 million. The remaining increase is due to an increase in operating expenses and a decrease in interest and other income. The increase in operating expenses reflected growth in our organization to support certification, manufacturing, and go-to-market activities, and increased purchases of prototype parts for manufacturing, testing and certification. Sequentially, compared to the net loss for the third quarter of 2024, net loss increased by $102.4 million, primarily due to an increase in the non-cash loss on revaluation of warrants and earnout shares, partially offset by lower operating expenses. The operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2024 totaled $149.9 million and reflected costs to support certification and manufacturing of our aircraft. Operating expenses included stock based compensation of $21.7 million and depreciation and amortization of $9.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2024 was a loss of $118.7 million, primarily reflecting employee related costs associated with the development, certification and manufacturing of the aircraft. The adjusted EBITDA loss was $22.5 million higher than in the fourth quarter of 2023 and $1.7 million lower than in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP metric that excludes the loss from the revaluation of our derivative liabilities, stock-based compensation expense, depreciation and amortization, interest income and expense, and other non-operating costs. Please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of Net Loss to Adjusted EBITDA. We ended the fourth quarter of 2024 with $932.9 million in cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities. This includes $221.9 million and $128.8 million of net proceeds received during the fourth quarter of 2024 from an underwritten public offering and an at-the- market public offering, respectively. As expected, use of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during 2024, excluding the net proceeds from public offerings, was $450.1 million, at the lower end of our guidance of $440 to $470 million dollars. 2025 OUTLOOK As we prepare for important milestones ahead, including certification of our aircraft by regulatory authorities and initial passenger operations, our focus in 2025 will be on further advancing certification and testing of our aircraft, completion of our Marina, CA facility expansion, beginning aircraft component production at our Dayton, OH facility, aircraft testing in Dubai, and continued collaboration with partners such as Toyota, Delta, and Uber. We estimate that our use of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during 2025 will range between $500–$540 million. Joby AviationQ4 2024 Shareholder Letter February 26, 2025 9

Non-GAAP Financial Measures JOBY AVIATION, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Unaudited (In thousands) 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, interest 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before interest inco , interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization expense, st ck-based compensation expense, 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 t 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. J I I N, INC.
