For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and three months ended June 30, 2024, potential ordinary shares have been treated as dilutive, as their inclusion in the diluted earnings per share calculation decreases earnings per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, and six months ended June 30, 2024, potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive, as their inclusion in the diluted loss per share calculation would reduce the loss per share and hence have been excluded.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information

1General information

Vertical Aerospace Ltd (the “Company”, or the “Group” if together with its subsidiaries) is incorporated under the Companies Law (as amended) of the Cayman Islands. The address of its principal executive office is: Unit 1 Camwal Court, Bristol, United Kingdom. The Group’s main operations are in the United Kingdom and these financial statements are presented in pounds sterling and all values are rounded to the nearest thousand (£’000) except when otherwise indicated.

These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Company’s Board of Directors, on August 4, 2025.

Principal activities

The principal activity of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary, Vertical Aerospace Group Ltd (“VAGL”), is the development and commercialization of vertical take-off and landing electrically powered (“eVTOL”), and hybrid-electrically powered, aircraft.

2Material accounting policies

Basis of preparation

This unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial report for the six-month reporting period ended June 30, 2025 has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IFRS Accounting Standards”), applicable to the preparation of interim financial statements, IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

The interim report does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year.

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis, as modified by the revaluation of certain financial assets and liabilities (including financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss) which are recognized at fair value through profit and loss.

Items included in the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial report are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity and its subsidiaries operate (‘the functional currency’). The financial information is presented in pounds sterling (‘£’ or ‘GBP’), which is the Group’s presentation currency, and all amounts are presented in and rounded to the nearest thousand unless otherwise indicated. Cumulative translation adjustments resulting from translating foreign functional currency financial statements into GBP are reported within other reserves.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information

2Material accounting policies (continued)

Basis of consolidation

Vertical Aerospace Ltd is the parent of the Group and has 100% ownership interest and voting rights of Vertical Aerospace Group Limited, which is its only material subsidiary.

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial positions and the results of operations of the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company using consistent accounting policies. Intercompany transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between Group companies are eliminated.

Going Concern

Management has prepared a cash flow forecast for the Group and has considered the ability for the Group to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being at least 12 months after the issuance of this financial information.

The Group is currently in the research and development phase of its journey to commercialize eVTOL and hybrid-electric technologies. Commensurate with being in the development phase, the Group has invested heavily in research to support the development of its aircraft. The Group is not currently generating revenue and has incurred net losses and net cash outflows from operating activities since inception.

As of June 30, 2025, the Group had £62 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand and a net shareholders’ deficit of £176 million.

The Company launched the January 2025 Offering and the July 2025 Offering, which culminated in the closing of a $90 million underwritten public offering on January 24, 2025, and the closing of a $69 million underwritten public offering on July 10, 2025, respectively, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

As of the issuance of this financial information, the Group had approximately £104 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand.

To position itself to deliver upon its stated operational objectives, management currently projects its net cash outflows from operations within the next 12 months after issuance of this financial information to be approximately £106 million, which will be used primarily to fund the creation and testing of the prototype aircraft, as well as to further the design of the certification aircraft.

Accordingly, the Group projects that its current existing resources will only be sufficient to fund its ongoing operations towards the middle of 2026. The Group requires additional capital to continue to fund its ongoing operations beyond that point.

The Convertible Senior Secured Notes Indenture contains a covenant requiring the Group to maintain a minimum cash balance of at least $10 million at all times. The Group currently projects that it will breach this covenant in the second quarter of 2026 unless additional capital is raised. Such a breach, if uncured, would result in an event of default occurring under the Indenture, which would permit the Convertible Senior Secured Notes Investor to accelerate the maturity of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes and ultimately claim against its collateral. An event of default would result in the Convertible Senior Secured Notes being due immediately to which the Group does not have sufficient funds to repay.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information

2Material accounting policies (continued)

The Group’s ability to continue as a going concern is highly dependent on its ability to secure funds from additional funding rounds before it utilises all existing resources to finance the Group’s ongoing operations. Management is committed to continue to raise additional funds and may seek to issue further equity in doing so. Although the Group plans to raise additional funds over the course of the next twelve months there can be no assurance that the Group will be able to raise additional funds on acceptable terms (or on necessary timelines) to provide sufficient funds to meet the Group’s ongoing funding requirements. The timely completion of financing is critical to the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. The inability to obtain future funding could impact on the Group’s financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies, including being required to delay, reduce or eliminate some of its research and development programs, or being unable to continue operations or continue as a going concern.

The dependency on raising additional capital indicates that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt (or raise substantial doubt as contemplated by PCAOB standards) on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern and therefore the Group may be unable to realize the assets and discharge the liabilities in the normal course of business. The consolidated financial information has been prepared assuming that the Group will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business and do not include any adjustments that would result if the Group were unable to continue as a going concern.

3Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty

The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial information in conformity with IFRS Accounting Standards requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial information and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

The Company’s most significant estimates relate to the January 2025 Offering in addition to the valuations of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, including the Convertible Senior Secured Notes. The Company’s most critical judgments relate to the research and development tax relief.

These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and models and may involve significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions, financial inputs, or circumstances.

Critical accounting judgments relating to research and development tax relief

Research and development tax relief supports companies that work on innovative projects in science and technology.

For accounting periods beginning before April 1, 2024, HM Revenue & Customs administered two such tax relief schemes: one aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises (“SME”); and the R&D expenditure credit scheme (“RDEC”), aimed at large companies and other companies that aren’t eligible for SME relief.

A merged RDEC and an enhanced R&D intensive support (“ERIS”) scheme replaced the old RDEC and SME schemes for accounting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2024.

Enhanced intensive support is available to loss-making R&D intensive SMEs, with the definition of a large company is based on staff, turnover and balance sheet measures, and includes that of any linked or partner companies.

Vertical Aerospace Ltd

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information

3Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Management has concluded that the Company itself does not meet the definition of a large Company and has determined that the transactions contemplated under the Investment Agreement on December 23, 2024, do not result in the presence of any linked or partner companies that would otherwise cause the Company to be defined as a large company. The Company has recognized relief under the ERIS scheme. Please see note 7 for further details.

A company is considered R&D intensive where its qualifying R&D expenditure is 30% or more of its total expenditure (the “intensity threshold”). Companies meeting this intensity threshold are able to claim enhanced support using a higher rate of credit. The Company has determined its eligibility for enhanced support based upon Total administrative & research and development expenses taken from the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

To qualify for tax relief the work must be part of a specific project to make an advance in science or technology. This definition is based on an international standard. Certain indirect activities related to the project are also qualifying where such activities form part of a project but do not directly contribute to the resolution of the scientific or technological uncertainty. An appropriate proportion of the staffing cost can be qualifying expenditure if the employee is only partly directly and actively involved in relevant research and development activity. Management have applied judgment in determining the proportion of research and development staff costs incurred on non-qualifying activities and the extent of administrative staff costs relating to qualifying indirect activities.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty relating to the January 2025 Offering

On January 24, 2025, upon closing of the January 2025 Offering, 15 million Ordinary Shares plus 7.5 million Tranche A warrants and 7.5 million Tranche B warrants, were contemporaneously issued to the same counterparties. Gross proceeds of the January 2025 Offering totalled $90 million, before deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and other offering expenses.

In instances where multiple financial instruments are issued together, the proceeds received are required to be allocated to each instrument to establish its initial carrying amount. Management has undertaken independent issuance-date estimates of fair value for each freestanding instruments issued as part of the “bundled transaction”.

Warrants issued as part of the January 2025 Offering are separately exercisable (i.e., the exercise of the warrants would not result in the termination of the ordinary shares the warrants may have been issued with) and are therefore considered to be freestanding.

Management has determined that the warrants issued meet the requirements to be classified as equity and therefore are not subsequently measured at fair value. Because ongoing fair value measurement is not required for either instrument issued, the proceeds have been allocated to each financial instrument based on the respective instrument’s proportionate fair value.

The Company utilises a Black-Scholes-Merton model as its “fixed-for-fixed” fair value option model, with inputs shown below:

The Tranche A warrants expire on the earlier of: (i) upon the satisfaction of both of the following conditions: (a) the Company successfully demonstrating a wing-borne flight of its VX4 prototype aircraft and (b) the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary shares, following the public disclosure of such successful wing-borne flight, being equal to or greater than, 103% of the exercise price of the warrants, the 30th day following the date of such disclosure; and (ii) the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance. The Tranche A warrants are exercisable at an exercise price of $6.00 per whole ordinary share.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Information

3Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty (continued)

Upon initial recognition the Company has utilised a probability weighted approach when determining the appropriate time to maturity for the Tranche A warrants, reflecting the likelihood that the above-mentioned conditions occur or are accomplished prior to the five-year anniversary of the date of issuance.

On May 27, 2025, the Company issued a press release constituting the initial public disclosure of the satisfaction of a wing-borne flight of our VX4 aircraft for purposes of the Company’s outstanding Tranche A warrants. However, the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary shares, following the date of this disclosure did not equal or exceed 103% of the exercise price of the Tranche A warrant within the 30 - day period following such date. As such, the Tranche A warrants remain outstanding and will only expire on the five-year anniversary of their date of issuance.

The Tranche B warrants will expire five years from the date of issuance and are exercisable at an exercise price of $7.50 per whole ordinary share.

A resultant fair value of $2.29 per whole Tranche A warrant and $3.61 per whole Tranche B warrant has been derived. The fair value of ordinary shares has been derived using the reference share price upon closing of the January 2025 Offering, being $5.60 per share. Please see note 10 for further details.

With the exception of the above, in preparing these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2024.

7Income tax credit

The Company recognizes R&D tax relief relating to the RDEC scheme within Other operating income, and R&D tax relief under both the small and medium-sized enterprise (“SME”) scheme and its successor enhanced R&D intensive support (“ERIS”) scheme within Income tax credit, as shown below:

For accounting periods beginning before April 1, 2024, HM Revenue & Customs administered two such tax relief schemes: one aimed at SMEs, and the RDEC scheme, aimed at large companies and other companies that aren’t eligible for SME relief.

A merged RDEC and an ERIS scheme replaced the old RDEC and SME schemes for accounting periods beginning on or after April 1, 2024.

At the time of preparing its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company was unable to determine, with certainty, if any relationships existed that would cause the Company to be defined as a large company and ineligible for SME relief. Absent of such certainty, within those financial statements, the Company recognized tax relief solely based on the RDEC scheme.

Management has since determined that the transactions contemplated under the Investment Agreement on December 23, 2024, do not result in the presence of any linked or partner companies that would otherwise cause the Company to be defined as a large company and therefore the six months ended June 30, 2025 reflects the reversal of tax relief previously recognized under the RDEC scheme of £7,553 thousand (see note 6), with £13,700 thousand subsequently claimed, and received, under the SME scheme (and reported within Income tax credit).

9Earnings/(loss) per share

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the period by the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting the profit or loss for the period and the weighted average number of ordinary shares in issue during the period to assume the conversion of all dilutive potential ordinary shares.

The Company has one category of dilutive potential ordinary shares, being those issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes, which for the purposes of diluted earnings per share, have been assumed to be issued at the beginning of the period.

On September 20, 2024, the implementation of a reverse stock split at a ratio of one-for-ten shares became effective. The reverse stock split resulted in a proportional decrease in the number of authorized ordinary shares, and a proportional increase in the par value of such ordinary shares, in each case in accordance with the reverse stock split ratio. All share and per share amounts in these condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes hereto have been retrospectively adjusted to account for the effect of the reverse stock split.

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, and three months ended June 30, 2024, potential ordinary shares have been treated as dilutive, as their inclusion in the diluted earnings per share calculation decreases earnings per share. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, and six months ended June 30, 2024, potential ordinary shares are anti-dilutive, as their inclusion in the diluted loss per share calculation would reduce the loss per share and hence have been excluded.

The share-based payments reserve is used to recognize the grant date fair value of options issued to employees but not exercised.

The warrant reserve is used to recognize the fair value of warrants issued in exchange for a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Company’s ordinary shares (‘fixed-for-fixed condition’). As part of the January 2025 Offering, 7.5 million Tranche A warrants and 7.5 million Tranche B warrants were issued on January 24, 2025, resulting in £23,553 thousand ($28,984 thousand) being recognised within the warrant reserve.

The merger reserve is used to reflect any difference between the consideration and the book value of net assets acquired as part of a business combination.

The translation reserve arises upon the retranslation of overseas subsidiaries and the Company’s USD denominated balances in consolidated financial statements.

The Public Warrants and Convertible Notes warrants expire on December 16, 2026, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Each such warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase 1/10 of one share of common stock, meaning that ten warrants must be exercised for a holder of warrants to receive one ordinary share of the Company at a price of $115.00 per share. Such warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares.

13Warrants (continued)

Once such warrants become exercisable, the Company may redeem such warrants at a price of $0.10 per warrant if the closing price of the common stock equals or exceeds $180.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period. The exercise price and number of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger, or consolidation. Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. On December 4, 2024, the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) filed a Form 25 with the SEC, removing the Public Warrants from their listing on the NYSE.

The private SF Warrants were issued on March 13, 2024 to Stephen Fitzpatrick pursuant to the SF Warrant Instrument, with 10 such warrants exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $50.00.

The initial Virgin Atlantic Warrants were issued on December 16, 2021 to Virgin Atlantic pursuant to the Virgin Atlantic Warrant Instrument, with 10 such warrants exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $100.00.

Additionally, on December 16, 2021, Marcus Waley-Cohen was awarded 2,000,000 private options, with 10 such options exercisable for one ordinary share of the Company at an exercise price of $115.00.

These warrants and options meet the fixed-for-fixed criterion and are therefore recognised within other reserves until the point of exercise. The amount classified to other reserves on initial recognition reclassified to share capital and share premium upon exercise.

Initial recognition

On December 15, 2021, Mudrick Capital purchased Convertible Senior Secured Notes of and from the Company in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000 thousand for an aggregate purchase price of $192,000 thousand (the “Purchase Price”). The Convertible Senior Secured Notes were initially convertible into up to 1,818,182 ordinary shares at an initial conversion rate of 9.09091 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount. The Convertible Senior Secured Notes bore interest at the rate of 9% per annum, as the Company elected to pay interest in-kind, by way of PIK Notes. Interest was paid semi-annually in arrears. The Convertible Senior Secured Notes had an initial maturity date of the fifth anniversary of issuance and were redeemable at any time by the Company for cash.

Substantial modification and partial conversion

On December 23, 2024, the Company entered into the First Supplemental Indenture setting forth certain amendments, including: (i) increasing the interest rate applicable to the Convertible Senior Secured Notes to 10.00% for cash interest and 12.00% for PIK interest; (ii) extending the maturity date of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes to December 15, 2028; and (iii) providing for a fixed conversion price of $2.75 per ordinary share (or 363.636 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount) for half of the principal amount of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes and $3.50 per ordinary share (or 285.714 ordinary shares per $1,000 principal amount) for the other half.

The Company has determined that, in accordance with IFRS 9, these amendments represented a substantial modification of the existing financial liabilities and was therefore accounted for as an extinguishment of the original financial liability and the recognition of a new financial liability, with the difference between the carrying amount of the original instrument and the fair value of the new financial liability recognized in profit or loss during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Subsequent measurement

Following the execution of the First Supplemental Indenture and during the year ended December 31, 2024, the noteholders delivered conversion notices to the Company for the conversion of half, or approximately $130 million in principal amount, of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes at a fixed conversion price of $2.75 per Ordinary Share, which resulted in the issuance of 47,343,585 ordinary shares, with a reference share price of $7.42 per ordinary share, by the Company to the holders of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes.

As of June 30, 2025, a total of 39,430,443 ordinary shares are potentially issuable upon exercise of the remaining outstanding principal amount of Convertible Senior Secured Notes. Following the Partial Conversion, in accordance with the Investment Agreement, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, VAGL, entered into the second supplemental indenture to the Indenture with the Trustee (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), pursuant to which VAGL became a guarantor of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes under the Indenture on a senior secured basis by granting fixed and floating charges over all of its assets.

14Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss (continued)

A number of other covenants exist in relation to the Company’s obligations in respect of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes, including (but not limited to): payments under the Convertible Senior Secured Notes and interest thereunder; furnishing the trustee with Exchange Act reports; compliance with Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provision of an annual compliance certificate; relinquishing of the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law; acquisition of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes by the Company; permitting any Company subsidiaries to provide a charge over the Convertible Senior Secured Notes; limitation on liens securing indebtedness; limitation on asset sales; limitation on transactions with affiliates; limitation on restricted payments; and retention of $10 million cash. As at June 30, 2025, cash at bank includes £7,298 thousand in accordance with the above covenant.

Warrants are quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (an interdealer automated quotation system for equity securities that is not a national securities exchange) and are therefore categorized in level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss are categorized in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, which consist of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes, has been estimated using an option pricing model, in accordance with the International Valuation Standards definition of “market value”.

The Convertible Senior Secured Notes, initially had a five-year term from the date of issuance on December 16, 2021, and a payment-in-kind interest rate of 9.0% (compounding semi-annually), or a cash interest rate of 7.0% (paid semi-annually). The holder of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes had an initial right to convert them into ordinary shares in the Company at any time at a conversion ratio of 90.9091 per $1,000 principal amount (with any payment-in-kind accrual converting at the same ratio).

On December 23, 2024 the maturity date was extended to December 15, 2028 and the Conversion Rate was amended to 363.636 Ordinary Shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes in relation to the first $130,194,859 principal amount of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes, which was immediately converted by the noteholder into ordinary shares, and 285.714 Ordinary Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Senior Secured Notes for the remaining portion outstanding. Additionally, effective December 15, 2024, each Convertible Senior Secured Notes accrues interest at 10.0% per annum with respect to interest paid in cash and 12.0% per annum with respect to payment-in-kind interest. The outstanding principal immediately following partial conversion was $130,194,859 and as at June 30, 2025, was $138,006,551.

Option pricing has been utilized to calculate the probability that these options will be in the money at expiration and assign a dollar value to it. The underlying share price of the Company, exercise price, volatility, interest rate, and time to expiration have been used as inputs into the model to derive the option’s theoretical fair value.

Company specific inputs include the expected probability and timing of future equity financing, in addition to the probability and timing of a future fundamental change. Credit spread is initially selected such that the fair value of the Convertible Senior Secured Notes reconciles to the total purchase price of $192 million based upon the arms’ length transaction closing as of December 15, 2021, subsequently adjusted for company-specific credit risk.

For more information about the Convertible Senior Secured Notes, please refer to the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

16Financial risk management and impairment of financial assets

The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks including market risk, credit risk, foreign exchange risk and liquidity risk.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, arising principally from prepayments to suppliers and deposits with the Group’s bank.

Also included in Restricted cash is £1,700 thousand deemed to be restricted as at June 30, 2025, in relation to rent guarantees.

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum credit exposure. Therefore, the maximum exposure to credit risk at the balance sheet date was £499 thousand (December 31, 2024: £634 thousand) being the total of the carrying amount of financial assets, including contractual receivables but excluding R&D tax credits receivables and cash.

The allowance account of trade receivables is used to record impairment losses unless the Group is satisfied that no recovery of the amount owing is possible; at that point the amounts considered irrecoverable are written off against the trade receivables directly. The Group provides for impairment losses based on estimated irrecoverable amounts determined by reference to specific circumstances and the experience of management of debtor default in the industry.

On that basis, the loss allowance as at June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was determined as £nil for trade receivables.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and equity prices will affect the Group’s financial position. The Group’s principal exposure to market risk is exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. There are currently no currency forwards, options, or swaps to hedge this exposure.

Foreign exchange risk

The Group is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from exposure to various currencies in the ordinary course of business. The Group holds cash in USD, EUR and GBP. The majority of the Group’s trading costs are in GBP; however, the Group also has supply contracts denominated in USD and EUR. The Group holds sufficient cash in USD, EUR and GBP to satisfy its trading costs in each of these currencies. An 8-percentage point decrease in GBP to USD exchange rate would decrease profit for the six months ended June 30, 2025, by £25,371 thousand and increase other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2025, by £6,360 thousand. The Group may be exposed to material foreign exchange risk in subsequent periods or years because of the significance of the USD denominated Convertible Senior Secured Notes relative to USD deposits and cash held ($34,881 thousand at June 30, 2025), which are expected to fluctuate as expenses are incurred and whilst future funding is secured.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group’s management uses short and long-term cash flow forecasts to manage liquidity risk. Forecasts are supplemented by sensitivity analysis which is used to assess funding adequacy for at least a 12-month period. The Company manages its cash resources to ensure it has sufficient funds to meet all expected demands as they fall due. Please see note 2 for further details.

Capital management

The Group’s objective when managing capital is to ensure the Group continues as a going concern and grows in a sustainable manner. Given the ongoing development of its aircraft and technologies with minimal revenues, the Group relies on funding raised from the Business Combination transaction and other equity investors. Cash flow forecasting is performed on a regular basis which includes rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure that the Group has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
