FLYEXCLUSIVE INC. quarterly report, Q1 FY2022

Business context and reporting period

The supplied filing is EG Acquisition Corp.’s unaudited Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022—not a filing identified in its text as FLYEXCLUSIVE INC. EG Acquisition Corp. was a SPAC formed to pursue a business combination. It had not begun operations, generated operating revenue, selected a target, or initiated substantive discussions with a target as of quarter-end.

Financial results and position

  • Revenue: No operating revenue. The company expects none before a business combination.
  • Net income: $4.29 million, versus a $776 net loss for the period from inception through March 31, 2021. The 2021 comparison is not a comparable full quarter.
  • Drivers: $4.64 million gain from a decrease in warrant fair-value liabilities and $22,658 of trust-account interest, offset by $372,277 of formation and operating costs. The warrant gain is noncash.
  • Cash flow: $198,559 of cash used in operating activities. Cash at quarter-end was $120,661, down from $319,220 at December 31, 2021.
  • Liquidity: Current assets were $575,925 and current liabilities $321,930, implying working capital of approximately $254,000 (the filing describes it as approximately $0.3 million). Trust-account investments were $225.03 million.
  • Liabilities and equity: Total liabilities were $10.94 million, including $2.74 million of warrant liabilities and a $7.875 million deferred underwriting discount payable upon a completed business combination. No working-capital loans were outstanding. Stockholders’ deficit was $10.30 million; 22.5 million public shares, valued at $225.03 million, were classified as temporary equity.
  • Margins and debt: Operating margins are not meaningful because there was no operating revenue. No borrowings were outstanding at quarter-end; the filing does not report conventional operating-company debt.

Material changes and notable items

Warrant liabilities fell from $7.38 million at year-end to $2.74 million at March 31, producing the principal source of reported quarterly income. Cash declined by $198,559. The trust balance increased modestly from $225.01 million. The company reported no material changes to the risk factors in its latest annual report.

Outlook, risks and controls

  • The company had 24 months from the May 28, 2021 IPO closing to complete a business combination; otherwise it must cease operations and redeem public shares, subject to the filing’s terms.
  • Management said additional capital may be needed to fund the search and transaction costs. Sponsor and related parties may provide loans but are not obligated to do so. The filing states these conditions raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after issuance of the financial statements.
  • Management noted that COVID-19 could adversely affect the company or its target search, but the impact was not readily determinable.
  • Disclosure controls and procedures were deemed ineffective at March 31, 2022 because of a material weakness related to prior restatements of redeemable-share classification. Management described remediation steps but gave no assurance they would be effective.
  • No material litigation or off-balance-sheet arrangements were reported. No specific business-combination guidance or forecast was provided.

Investor verification priorities

  1. Verify the issuer: the supplied text identifies EG Acquisition Corp., while the request metadata names FLYEXCLUSIVE INC.
  2. Assess the going-concern warning, remaining cash outside the trust, and availability of any additional financing.
  3. Review the material weakness, prior restatements, and progress in remediating disclosure controls.
  4. Distinguish noncash warrant remeasurement gains from recurring operating performance, which had not begun.
  5. Confirm the business-combination deadline, target-search status, redemption exposure, and deferred underwriting fee obligations.
