Third Quarter 2024 Highlights:
- First International Demonstration: We completed a number of exhibition flights at Toyota’s Higashi-Fuji Technical Center in Japan, using our third production prototype aircraft which rolled off the production line less than three months prior.
- Test and Certification: We reached a major landmark on our journey to type certification with the completion of our first FAA-conforming major sub-assembly, an aircraft tail. Our fourth production prototype is nearing completion and will join our flight test program shortly.
- Regulatory Progress: Important progress was made with regulators in each of our targeted launch markets. In the U.S., we welcomed the publication of new operating regulations that lay the groundwork for the launch of commercial operations.
- Toyota Investment: Building on nearly seven years of collaboration, Toyota committed to investing an additional $500 million in Joby, as part of an agreement that includes plans to establish a manufacturing alliance.
- Strong Financial Foundation: At the end of the third quarter of 2024, we maintained a strong balance sheet with $710 million in cash and short-term investments. This balance does not include the approximately $222 million raised through a follow-on equity offering completed in October 2024 or the expected Toyota investments totaling $500 million.
