FAA Conforming Aircraft and TIA Readiness
The first FAA-conforming aircraft is now ready to fly and all aircraft intended for TIA testing are in production, marking a key milestone toward flight testing with FAA pilots later this year.
Major Certification Momentum — 18‑Point Stage 4 Improvement
Joby posted a record 18-point increase on the FAA side of Stage 4 of certification, signaling strong regulatory progress and increased maturity of the aircraft design.
Strong Capital Raise and Cash Position
Raised approximately $1.8 billion across Q4 and Q1; ended Q4 with $1.4 billion in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (including $586M raised during the quarter), and completed a post-quarter financing that provided ~ $1.2 billion in net proceeds, materially strengthening the balance sheet and runway.
Partnerships, Contracts and Market Demand
Multiple commercial and strategic wins: demo flight with Toyota at Mount Fuji; participation in a Nomura-led Tokyo consortium; MOU with Red Sea Global and The Helicopter Company for Saudi Arabia; LOI to sell aircraft/services up to $250M to Kazakhstan; deepening partnership with Delta (warrant milestone exercised); Uber in-app Joby experience debuted in Dubai.
Manufacturing Scale-Up and Facility Investment
Signed agreement to purchase a 728,000 sq ft production facility in Dayton, Ohio and plan to double production to 4 aircraft per month by 2027. Manufacturing redesign aligned to Toyota Production System principles achieved ~50% reduction in movement of people and parts to improve efficiency.
Blade Integration and Near-Term Revenue Guidance
Q4 revenue was $31M, up $8M sequentially (+34.8% QoQ) driven largely by a full quarter of Blade revenue ($21M). For 2026 Joby provided full-year revenue guidance of $105M–$150M, with the vast majority expected from the Blade passenger business; Blade-Uber integration expected to deploy in H1.
Technical Demonstrators and Defense/Adjacency Progress
Flew a turbine-electric autonomous VTOL demonstrator three months after announcement (hybrid turbine powertrain + Superpilot autonomy) in partnership with L3Harris; defense and medical/cargo opportunities being pursued with planned on-site customer demonstrations.
Disciplined Cash Deployment and Capital Allocation
Q4 cash use was $157M (vs. $147M in Q3). Full-year 2025 cash use totaled $539M, within guidance. Management emphasized milestone-driven, deliberate capital allocation as they move from prototyping to repeatable manufacturing.
