| Our Avionyx acquisition team that's in Costa Rica has been doing this for many, many, many years, and they have demonstrated over the past few years that they can deliver on all expectations, both for Joby and external customers |
| We believe these are the right milestones to ensure Joby's continued leadership in the sector |
| We strengthened our already strong balance sheet |
| And it's just -- I have to say that I feel incredibly privileged to have the opportunity to work with the amazing partners we have around the world and with the just spectacular team here at Joby Aviation that I'd like to express my sincere gratitude for delivering quarter-after-quarter |
| As we have explained in the past, the more timely benefits we expect to gain from this early engagement include operational learnings, which will pay dividends into the future as we build both our government and commercial service businesses and the opportunity to showcase our aircraft's features and capabilities to a broad array of potential future government customers |
| So we are very pleased as we talked about with the partnership in Dubai, and again, that's across the three critical dimensions |
| During the fourth quarter, the team maintained incredible momentum as we crossed into this calendar year |
| I think one of the things I hope you took away from the call today was that this is more tangible than it's ever been before and our team is incredibly well-positioned to capitalize on this amazing market |
| This level of positive engagement and collaboration is encouraging and will help to ensure continued US leadership in this new sector |
| We are excited by the year ahead and the opportunities we see as we continue to lead our industry towards commercialization of this revolutionary technology |
| And then also delivering incredible customer experiences with our partner, Skyports in Dubai, and then as we build out infrastructure opportunities in markets around the world, this is an incredible opportunity to again to deliver the customer experience that we're looking for |
| In front of the local community, Mayor Adams, and key stakeholders, we were able to demonstrate the incredibly quiet acoustic footprint of our aircraft and the opportunity presented by our technology to improve city mobility |
| Seeing really is believing and I'm so proud of the team that was able to make this happen |
| Look, I feel really good about where we are right now, particularly because you talked about years, this has been multiple years in the making, getting to the point where stage three is complete |
| On the infrastructure part, this is an incredibly important piece of the business and an area where we're very grateful for our partnership with Delta and the investments they've made into the airports at LaGuardia, JFK, and LAX, and to be able to build best-in-class infrastructure, closely coupled to those terminals and to deliver seamless customer experiences as they get off of Delta flights and onto Joby flights |
| We have been in lockstep with the FAA for a good amount of time where we're talking about all the details of the design of the CERT plan and the implementation, and I think that gives me a lot of confidence in us moving into stage four, being in a very good position |
| It has showed the incredible performance across all the different dimensions |
| Yeah, so we're -- the 5,300 is the weight of the aircraft that we're taking through certification, and we're very pleased with the performance that we're achieving across all the different systems on the aircraft and expect to, as Didier talked about, the designs to stick where they are |
| And so I feel like we're well-positioned to walk through the software line |
| I've been part of many aviation certification programs and this is truly an incredible milestone for us |
| So we're very excited about this |
| This is a remarkable opportunity for any eVTOL operator, and we're proud to have demonstrated to the Government of Dubai that Joby is the best position to deliver this service |
| I'm really excited about -- really this year is what you're going to see, all the progress and focus on that stage |
| With the strongest balance sheet in the industry, we are able to support our leading position in certification and manufacturing while at the same time capitalizing on the opportunities that JoeBen and Didier highlighted, expanding our capacity, broadening our base of operations with the Department of Defense and investing in the early stages of commercialization |
| So again, really, really pleased with this and grateful for all of our partners and the support here |
| But what's really important is that the FAA has -- we're really grateful for that has been keeping us up to date on all the expected changes in the G1, and so we've been in constant touch and are aware of the content in there |
| We've done extensive testing over many years and just incredibly pleased with the performance across all of these dimensions |
| So the G1 and the associated CERT basis as we have seen it with the FAA continues to be something we feel very confident about |
| I'm really excited about what the team has been able to deliver last year, right, with 30 tests completed at the component level, having gone through exactly the process as outlined by the FAA, it sets us very well this year to expand across all of the base of the pyramid and execute more of those on hundreds of other tests |
| While we aren't blind to the challenges ahead of us, we believe that we are best positioned to succeed with the strongest balance sheet, the best team in the industry, and most important, a laser focus on delivery |

| Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP metric that we reconcile to our net income in our shareholder letter was a loss of $96 million in the fourth quarter |
| For the full year, this totaled $344 million, which was below our anticipated spending range, reflecting timing of payments and disciplined choices around our spending in the fourth quarter |
| We took on the hard challenge of designing and building the first-ever charging system that actively cools the vehicle's batteries, resulting in a dramatically more performant aircraft and higher tempo operations than achievable with an off-the-shelf EV charger |
| Looking back at the fourth quarter of 2023, we incurred a net loss of $115 million, reflecting a loss from operations of about $128 million, offset by interest and other income of $13 million |
| It's a win-win situation that doesn't add significant additional certification burden to our team |
| For example, our aircraft at Edwards has been undergoing testing in the first quarter, as Didier described earlier, so we do not expect meaningful revenue in this quarter |
| Right now, we're really focused on getting our lines certified, up and running, getting the manufacturing processes dialed in because scaling an inefficient process would be the worst thing a company could do |
