Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial reporting, the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the financial information and footnotes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. As a result, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 11, 2025. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report include all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2025 and its results of operations, including its comprehensive loss and stockholders' equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any subsequent period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2025.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, after elimination of intercompany transactions and accounts. The Company consolidates Wheels Up MIP LLC (“MIP LLC”) and record the profits interests held by MIP LLC that the Company does not own as non-controlling interests
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates
Preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to risks and uncertainties. The most significant estimates include, but are not limited to, the useful lives and residual values of purchased aircraft, sales and use tax, the determination of the allowance for credit losses, reserve for excess and obsolete inventory, impairment assessments, the determination of the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the incremental borrowing rate for leases.
Segment Reporting
Segment Reporting
We identify operating segments as components of Wheels Up for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in making decisions regarding resource allocation and performance assessment.
The Company’s CODM is its Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis. The Company operates as one operating segment. The Company’s CODM evaluates the Company’s financial information and resources and assesses the performance of these resources on a consolidated basis. The measure of segment profit or loss for the Company's single segment is Net income (loss), which can be found in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. There is no expense or asset information that is supplemental to those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements that is regularly provided to the CODM.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 aim to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 will be effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 aim to improve the decision usefulness of expense information on public business entities’ income statements through the disaggregation of relevant expense captions in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.
