Santa Cruz, CA, February 21, 2024 — Joby Aviation, Inc. (NYSE:JOBY), a company developing all-electric aircraft for commercial passenger service, today issued its Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Shareholder Letter (https://prismic-io.s3.amazonaws.com/joby-site/7608ac21-ece9-4c0e-88f3-2468d372b0ed_Joby-Q4-2023-Report-Final.pdf) detailing the company’s operational and financial results for the period ending December 31, 2023. 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 2023 Highlights:

Certification and Testing. With Stage 3 complete and all of our certification plans accepted, our focus is now on completing for-credit testing with the FAA. We successfully completed 30 for-credit pathfinder tests during the quarter. We now have four conforming manufacturing lines established.
Preparing for Operations. We worked with the FAA to complete precision landing tests, worked with NASA to simulate airspace management and received our Part 145 Repair Station Certificate from the FAA.



New York City Piloted Flight. The iconic Downtown Manhattan Heliport served as the base for the first ever electric air taxi flight in New York City. The flight was part of a press conference hosted by Mayor Eric Adams, where he announced the city’s plan to electrify the heliport.
Exclusivity in Dubai. We signed a definitive agreement with the government of Dubai that grants Joby exclusive rights to operate air taxis in the Emirate for six years. The agreement includes financial support and identifies a regulatory pathway to enable early operations.
Strong Financial Foundation. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, we had $1.0 billion in cash and short-term investments. Net cash used in operating activities and purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $91 million in the fourth quarter. For the full year, cash used in operating activities and purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $344 million.
2024 Outlook. Our priority in 2024 will be progressing the certification and manufacturing of our aircraft. We expect to increase our focus on commercialization as we prepare to enter commercial service in 2025. During the year, we plan to extend our flight exhibition series to additional key markets and expand our engagement with the Department of Defense by committing at least two more aircraft as part of our existing contract. We also expect to begin component manufacturing in Dayton, Ohio, and to break ground on expanding our low-volume manufacturing plant in Marina, California. We estimate that our use of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during 2024 will range between $440 – $470 million.

AT A GLANCE Exclusivity in Dubai We signed a definitive agreement with the government of Dubai that grants Joby exclusive rights to operate air taxis in the Emirate for six years. The agreement includes financial support and identifies a regulatory pathway to enable early operations. New York City Piloted Flight The iconic Downtown Manhattan Heliport served as the base for the first ever electric air taxi flight in New York City. The flight was part of a press conference hosted by Mayor Eric Adams, where he announced the city’s plan to electrify the heliport. Preparing for Operations We worked with the FAA to complete precision landing tests, worked with NASA to simulate airspace management and received our Part 145 Repair Station Certificate from the FAA. Certification and Testing With Stage 3 complete and all of our certification plans accepted, our focus is now on completing for-credit testing with the FAA. We successfully completed 30 for-credit pathfinder tests during the quarter. We now have four conforming manufacturing lines established. STRONG FINANCIAL FOUNDATION At the end of the fourth quarter of 2023, we had $1.0 billion in cash and short-term investments. Net cash used in operating activities and purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $91 million in the fourth quarter. For the full year, cash used in operating activities and purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $344 million. NET LOSS Net loss of $115 million reflected a loss on operations of $128 million, partly offset by interest and other income of $13 million. Operating expenses primarily reflected costs to support certification and manufacturing of prototype aircraft, parts and test articles. ADJUSTED EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA loss of $96 million largely reflected our operating expenses excluding depreciation, amortization and stock-based compensation. Q4 2023 Highlights Joby AviationQ4 2023 Shareholder Letter February 21, 2024 2


 
Exclusivity in Dubai WE SIGNED a definitive agreement with Dubai’s Road and Transport Authority (RTA) to launch air taxi services in the Emirate. The agreement, signed in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, provides Joby with the exclusive right to operate air taxis in Dubai for six years, and will position Dubai as a world leader in the adoption of this technology. The agreement includes financial mechanisms for early and maturing service operations in Dubai and identifies a regulatory approach that may enable operations ahead of receiving FAA type certification, as early as 2025. We also signed an additional agreement with Skyports Infrastructure, who will fund, develop and operate four initial vertiport sites across Dubai, featuring Joby’s Global Electric Aviation Charging System (“GEACS”). To support our aim of making the transition to clean flight as rapidly as possible, we made the specifications for our GEACS universal charging interface freely available to our industry and announced agreements with Nomura Real Estate Development, Clay Lacy, Atlantic Aviation and Helo Holdings, Inc., to bring our technology to key sites across the New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo regions. Joby AviationQ4 2023 Shareholder Letter February 21, 2024 3


 
THE ICONIC DOWNTOWN HELIPORT in Manhattan served as the base for the first ever electric air taxi flight in New York City, which we completed as part of a press conference hosted by Mayor Eric Adams to announce the proposed electrification of the heliport. The flight, flown by a pilot onboard, was Joby’s first in an urban setting and demonstrated the ability of our aircraft to significantly reduce the impact of helicopter noise thanks to its low acoustic footprint. We expect New York to be one of our early launch markets and are working closely with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the New York City Economic Development Corporation (EDC) as we plan for initial operations, including the development of infrastructure at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) and LaGuardia International Airport (LGA). In October 2023, we hosted a fireside chat with Delta Air Lines CEO Ed Bastian, and our strong partnership with Delta continues to play an important role in activating cornerstone markets like New York City. “Our vision for the Downtown Manhattan Heliport will create the world’s first heliport with infrastructure for electric-powered aircraft and put this public asset to work for New Yorkers as a hub for sustainable transportation.” New York City Mayor Eric Adams New York City Piloted Flight Joby AviationQ4 2023 Shareholder Letter February 21, 2024 4


 
Preparing for Operations Joby AviationQ4 2023 Shareholder Letter February 21, 2024 5 OBSERVED BY MEMBERS of the FAA’s Office of Airports, three Joby pilots completed 31 flights onboard the Joby aircraft across two days in January, bringing our total flights with a pilot on board to more than 100. The test campaign demonstrated our aircraft’s landing accuracy and precision to help inform the FAA’s design guidance for vertiports. In partnership with NASA, we completed a series of air traffic simulations in the complex airspace near Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW). Simulating scenarios with dozens of air taxis aloft simultaneously, we were able to demonstrate the feasibility of bringing air taxi operations to busy airports — alongside existing airport traffic — using the tools available to air traffic controllers today. During the simulation, air traffic controllers were able to integrate up to 120 eVTOL operations per hour — arrivals and departures — from DFW Airport’s central terminal area. This exercise is a remarkable proof point as we prepare for operations in markets around the world. Last month, we received our Part 145 Repair Station Certificate from the FAA. As part of our vertically- integrated approach to bringing our revolutionary aircraft to market, this approval lays the foundation for us to carry out maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for our future fleet and demonstrates the maturity of our preparations for commercial operations.


 
Certification and Testing WITH STAGE 3 of the FAA certification process complete, we now have an approved path to certifying every aspect of our aircraft program. This includes the structural, mechanical, and electrical systems of our aircraft, as well as software, noise, cybersecurity, and human factors. This quarter, we completed 30 “for-credit” tests, covering material and flight electronics qualification. These “path- finder” materials and devices were chosen to validate our testing methods and processes before we expand our for-credit testing effort more broadly across our aircraft’s equipment, structures, and systems. We continue to scale our manufacturing in Marina, CA, to support for-credit testing and early operations, with one aircraft currently in final assembly, two more in production, and parts for further aircraft and testing being fabricated as well. We now have four conforming manufacturing lines, which include the inspection and quality management systems necessary to produce and verify conforming aircraft parts. In 2023, we completed nearly 400 flight tests across four sites, generating valuable data in support of our certification program. Percentage completion may fluctuate mildly through the course of certification as documents are edited and resubmitted. Data as of 2/15/2024. 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.

Fourth Quarter 2023 Financial Summary IN THE FOURTH QUARTER OF 2023, our net loss of $115.1 million reflected a net operating loss of $128.2 million and other income of $13.2 million. In the fourth quarter, we recognized revenue for the first time totaling $1.0 million, reflecting early flight services provided to the Department of Defense. Operating expenses for the quarter totaled $129.3 million and reflected costs to support our certification and manufacturing of our aircraft. Expenses included stock- based compensation of $23.9 million and depreciation and amortization of $8.1 million. Other income largely reflected interest and other income of $12.9 million. Net loss in the fourth quarter of 2023 reflected a $48.2 million increase compared with the net loss in the fourth quarter of 2022. The higher net loss compared with 2022 primarily reflected higher operating expenses of $27.9 million, a lower favorable revaluation of warrants and earnout shares of $25.6 million, partly offset by higher interest and other income of $4.8 million and revenue of $1.0 million. Higher operating expenses reflected growth in our organization, support for certification, and increased purchases of prototype parts for manufacturing, testing and certification. Compared with the third quarter of 2023, our fourth quarter net loss was $116.6 million below the net income reported in the prior quarter. Other income was $116.6 million lower than the prior quarter primarily reflecting a lower favorable revaluation gain on our warrants and earnout shares in the third quarter of 2023 totaling $115.8 million. Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2023 were about equal to the third quarter reflecting increased staffing and expenses to support certification and manufacturing largely offset by lower expenses associated with stock- based compensation programs. Adjusted EBITDA in the fourth quarter of 2023 was a loss of $96.2 million, primarily reflecting employee costs associated with the development, certification and manufacturing of the aircraft. The adjusted EBITDA loss was $18.6 million higher than in the fourth quarter of 2022 and $3.1 million higher than 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, income from equity-method investments, and other non-operating costs. Please see the section titled “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” for a reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA. We ended the fourth quarter of 2023 with $1.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and investments in marketable securities. Net cash used in operating activities and purchases of property and equipment totaled $91.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. For the full year of 2023, net cash used in operating activities and purchases of property and equipment totaled $344.4 million. Joby AviationQ4 2023 Shareholder Letter February 21, 2024 7 OUR PRIORITY IN 2024 will be progressing the certification and manufacturing of our aircraft. We expect to increase our focus on commercialization as we prepare to enter commercial service in 2025. During the year, we plan to extend our flight exhibition series to additional key markets and expand our engagement with the Department of Defense by committing at least two more aircraft as part of our existing contract. We also expect to begin component manufacturing in Dayton, Ohio, and to break ground on expanding our low-volume manufacturing plant in Marina, California. We estimate that our use of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments during 2024 will range between $440 – $470 million. 2024 Outlook

Non-GAAP Financial Measures 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. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income is as follows: JOBY AVIATION, INC.
