New York, NY, May 15, 2018 – Saker Aviation Services, Inc. (OTCQB:SKAS), an aviation
services company specializing in ground-based services to the general aviation
marketplace, today announced its financial results for the three months ended March 31,
2019.

Revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2019 of $2,072,722, was virtually
unchanged from $2,078,489 in the same period in 2018. Net income in the three months
ended March 31, 2019 of $52,336, an increase of $275,899 as compared to a net loss of
$223,563 in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

“We are pleased to start the year so solidly in 2019.” stated Ron Ricciardi, the Company’s
president & CEO. “We enjoyed about $30,000 in non-recurring operating income this
year as compared to 2018. Excluding this amount, however, still reflects significant
improvement on a year-over-year basis.” The impact of a fatal helicopter accident in early
2018, as previously reported, had a negative impact on results in the final three quarters
of last year. The recovery from that event may reflect positive comparisons going forward
in 2019.

The Company also reported Adjusted EBITDA1 of $87,896 for the three months ended
March 31, 2019, an increase of $172,395 as compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $(84,499)
in the three months ended March 31, 2018. Please see footnote 1 below for the
Company’s definition of Adjusted EBITDA, a description of why the Company uses
Adjusted EBITDA and important disclaimers regarding Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-
GAAP measure. A reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the appropriate GAAP measure
is also included in footnote 1.

Forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and

-FINANCIAL TABLES TO FOLLOW –
1 Explanation of Adjusted EBITDA, a Non-GAAP Financial Measure
The Company defines Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortization, as adjusted for stock based compensation expense and other income
and expense items. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, which is a financial
measure that is not defined by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), is a
useful performance metric because it eliminates non-cash and/or non-recurring charges
to earnings. It is important to note that non-GAAP measures such as Adjusted EBITDA
should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for or superior to, net income,
cash flows, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with
GAAP. A reconciliation of net income to Adjusted EBITDA is as follows for the three
months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
