Sky Harbour Group Corporation Reports First Quarter 2022 Financial Results, Effectiveness of Form S-1 for Shares Underlying Its Warrants and Acquisition of Miami-Opa Locka Airport Lease

Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE American: SKYH, SKYH WS) (“SHG” or the “Company”), an aviation infrastructure company building the first nationwide network of Home-Basing Solutions (“HBS”) for business aircraft, today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

Tal Keinan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Sky Harbour marked key milestones in the first quarter of 2022. The company completed its business combination with the Yellowstone acquisition company, adding an additional $60 million of fresh equity. The site acquisition, development and construction, and leasing teams have all grown significantly. With the best professionals serving in the right positions, the company has entered an accelerated growth phase in all areas. Construction and leasing continue to advance, and we hope to announce new Sky Harbour locations in the coming months. We look forward to commencing flight operations at Nashville phase 2 in July, and at Miami phase 1 in September. The backdrop of Sky Harbour’s growth is a dramatically expanding United States business aviation fleet, making the United States hangar supply shortage increasingly acute. Sky Harbour will continue to push forward at full steam, addressing one of business aviations most pressing challenges, and pressing our unique advantage to maximize value for you, our shareholders.”

First Quarter 2022 Financial and Business Highlights:

  • Completed the “Yellowstone Transaction”, in which our predecessor, Yellowstone Acquisition Company (“Yellowstone”), consummated the Equity Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 1, 2021 (the “Equity Purchase Agreement”), with Sky, a Delaware limited liability company. As a result, the Company was reorganized as an umbrella partnership-C corporation, or “Up-C”, structure in which substantially all of the operating assets of the Company are held by Sky and SHG’s only substantive assets are its equity interests in Sky (the “Common Units”)
  • Upon closing of the Yellowstone Transaction, received an additional $45 million equity investment from Boston Omaha through the BOC PIPE
  • $233 million of cash and U.S. Treasury securities available to support the Company’s scalable business strategy

Form 10-Q

SHG filed in a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Investors can find the filing on the SEC’s website, www.sec.gov.

Recent Developments

On April 29, 2022, our wholly-owned subsidiary outside the Obligated Group purchased the underlying ground lease at Miami-Opa Locka Airport from the sublessor for approximately $8.5 million, and now lease the property directly from Miami-Dade County (“MDC”). The transaction also required us to pay approximately $1.0 million in transfer fees to MDC. The transaction extends the term of our ground lease by 10 years until 2079 and is expected to decrease the Company’s cash ground lease payments by at least $30 million over the term of the lease on an undiscounted basis.

SHG filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 (the “Form S-1”) for (i) issuance of up to 14,519,218 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon exercise of 6,799,439 Public Warrants and 7,719,779 Private Warrants. The Form S-1 also registered the resale of up to 7,719,779 Private Warrants and the shares of Class A Common Stock underlying such warrants held by BOC Yellowstone LLC, an affiliate of the Sponsor of YSAC. Both the Private Warrants and their underlying shares of Class A Common Stock are subject to lock-up provisions as detailed in the Form S-1. The SEC declared the Form S-1 effective on May 5th, 2022, and the holders of the Warrants may presently exercise their Warrants with cash in accordance with the Warrant Agreement dated October 21, 2020 thru their respective broker-dealers.
