Management to Hold Call Following Market Close Today
PHOENIX, Aug. 13, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MESA) (“Mesa” or the “Company”) today reported third quarter fiscal 2025 financial and operating results, as well as provided an update on the proposed merger (the “Merger”) with Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (“Republic”).
Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Update:
- Total operating revenues of $92.8 million
- Pre-tax income of $20.6 million, net income of $20.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share
- Adjusted net loss1 of $0.6 million, primarily excluding a $25.1 million gain on the write-off of warrant liabilities
- Adjusted EBITDAR1 of $6.1 million
- Operated at a 99.99% controllable completion factor2
- Scheduled utilization for the quarter of 9.8 block hours per day
- Achieved single fleet operation, training 160 pilots to transition from CRJ fleet to E-175 fleet
Asset Transactions Update:
- During the June 2025 quarter, closed on the sales of the following for gross proceeds of $17.2 million, all of which was used to repay U.S. Treasury debt:
- 13 spare engines that were previously agreed to be sold
- 6 surplus CRJ-900 airframes that were previously agreed to be sold
- Subsequent to June 2025 quarter end:
- Entered into purchase agreements for 1 spare engine and 1 surplus CRJ-900 airframe
- Closed on the sales of 8 spare engines and 5 surplus CRJ-900s airframes that were previously agreed to be sold for gross proceeds of $11.7 million, all of which was used to repay U.S. Treasury debt
“Mesa’s third-quarter results reflect the significant operational and financial restructuring that we have undergone,” said Jonathan Ornstein, Mesa Chairman and CEO. “We now operate a single fleet type of Embraer 175s, simplifying our operations. Along with the normalization of pilot resources since last year, we increased our daily block hour utilization in the third quarter to 9.8 hours, up 15.4% year-over-year and 5.1% sequentially and a level consistent with our regional peers. All of our CRJ crews are now trained on E-Jet flying, and we anticipate stabilized utilization moving forward.
“We also continue to strengthen our balance sheet and reduce interest expense through the sale of surplus CRJ assets. As a result of our improved operational and financial profile, we reported third-quarter GAAP net income of $20.9 million, and our near-breakeven adjusted net loss would have been a profit, if not for continuing costs of CRJ-900 aircraft and engines that have been agreed upon to be sold but have not yet closed. This performance makes us increasingly optimistic about the enhanced path forward for Mesa’s people and stockholders under our proposed merger with Republic,” added Ornstein.
Merger Update:
- Waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to filings by Mesa and Republic expired on June 16, 2025
- Following the declaration of the effectiveness of the previously filed registration statement by the SEC, Mesa will file with the SEC a definitive proxy statement/prospectus, which will be mailed to Mesa stockholders for a vote
- Republic has obtained sufficient consents from its stockholders to approve the Merger
“Given strong performance by Republic during the first half of calendar year 2025, we now estimate that the combined company would have twelve-month run-rate annual revenue in the range of approximately $1.8 billion to $2.0 billion,” continued Ornstein. “Additionally, for the first six months of calendar year 2025, Republic generated approximately $169 million in adjusted EBITDA3, and Mesa generated $14 million in adjusted EBITDA over the same six-month period, for a total of $183 million. Our expectation is that we will continue to see strong combined financial performance in the second half of the calendar year.
“Further, we anticipate the pro forma cash and debt balances of the combined company post-Merger closing to be in excess of $300 million and approximately $1.1 billion, respectively, with Mesa contributing no debt to the combined business. Post-Merger closing, the 60 E-175 aircraft we operate today will be supported by a new and enhanced 10-year capacity purchase agreement with United Airlines,” said Ornstein. “We are pleased Mesa would support day-one benefits for the combined company, and we continue to work closely with the Republic executive team to position our airline for a successful Merger closing and integration with Republic.”
Mesa Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Details
Total operating revenues in Q3 2025 were $92.8 million, lower by $18.0 million, or 16.3%, compared to $110.8 million for Q3 2024. Contract revenue was $69.9 million, lower by $25.7 million, or 26.8%, compared to $95.6 million in Q3 2024. These decreases were driven by the reduction in contractual aircraft with United Airlines, Inc. (“United”). In addition, the disposition of certain Embraer 175 aircraft contributed to lower aircraft ownership revenue.
Pass-through revenue increased by $7.6 million, or 50.3%, driven primarily by higher pass-through maintenance expense. Mesa’s Q3 2025 results include, per GAAP, the recognition of $1.3 million of previously deferred revenue, versus the deferral of $2.3 million of revenue in Q3 2024. The remaining deferred revenue balance of $13.3 million will be recognized as flights are completed under our existing contract with United prior to closing of the Merger.
Total operating expenses in Q3 2025 were $92.9 million, a decrease of $26.9 million, or 22.4%, versus Q3 2024. Compared to Q3 2024, the decrease primarily reflects flight operations expense that was lower by $8.9 million, or 19.6%, due to fewer contracted aircraft and decreases in pilot training costs, and depreciation and amortization expense that was lower by $6.4 million, or 65.3%, primarily due to the retirement and sale of CRJ aircraft and engines, as well as $7.9 million less of asset impairment costs.
Mesa’s Q3 2025 results reflect net income of $20.9 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $19.9 million, or $(0.48) per diluted share, for Q3 2024. Mesa’s Q3 2025 adjusted net loss1 was $0.6 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, versus an adjusted net loss of $9.4 million, or $(0.23) per diluted share, in Q3 2024.
Mesa’s adjusted EBITDA1 for Q3 2025 was $6.0 million, compared to adjusted EBITDA of $8.9 million for Q3 2024. Adjusted EBITDAR was $6.1 million for Q3 2025, compared to adjusted EBITDAR of $10.6 million for Q3 2024.
Mesa Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Operating Performance
Operationally, the Company reported a controllable completion factor of 99.99% for United during Q3 2025. This is compared to a controllable completion factor of 99.94% for United during Q3 2024. Controllable completion factor excludes cancellations due to weather and air traffic control.
For Q3 2025, the Company operated 60 large (70/76 seats) E-175 jets under its CPA with United.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Mesa ended the June 2025 quarter with $42.5 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $113.7 million in total debt, secured primarily with aircraft and engines, compared to a balance of $366.4 million as of June 30, 2024.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measure
Adjusted EBITDA is a financial performance measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP financial measures and may be different from non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Furthermore, there are limitations inherent in non-GAAP financial measures because they exclude charges and credits that are required to be included in a GAAP presentation. Accordingly, these non-GAAP financial measures should be considered together with, and not as an alternative to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
