AerSale Reports First Quarter 2024 Results

First Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Revenue of $90.5 million versus $78.3 million in the prior year period.
  • GAAP net income of $6.3 million versus $5 thousand in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted Net Income1 of $5.5 million versus $3.3 million in the prior year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA1 of $9.0 million versus $5.0 million in the prior year period.
  • Flight equipment sales consisted of one aircraft and four engines in the first quarter of 2024, compared to two aircraft and one engine in the prior year period.
  • Feedstock acquisitions of $28.2 million and an additional $51.7 million under contract.
  • Flight Equipment inventory of $350.1 million as of March 31, 2024.

AerSale Corporation (Nasdaq: ASLE) (the “Company”) today reported results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2024. The Company’s revenue for the first quarter of 2024 was $90.5 million compared to $78.3 million in the first quarter of 2023. Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 included $38.6 million of flight equipment sales compared to $27.7 million of flight equipment sales in the prior-year period. Flight equipment sales in the first quarter of 2024 consisted of one aircraft and four engines, compared to two cargo aircraft (a 737 and 757), and one engine in the first quarter of 2023. Higher sales were primarily the result of the pacing of flight equipment sales, a higher volume of USM sold and strong MRO revenue amid a robust commercial backdrop. As a reminder to investors, the Company’s revenues are likely to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year based on flight equipment sales and therefore, progress should be monitored based on MRO activity, asset purchases and related sales.

Nicolas Finazzo, AerSale’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are off to a good start in the first quarter of 2024, underscored by higher feedstock purchases in 2023 that drove a greater level of sales. Our MRO facilities are benefitting from robust demand as airlines are operating at elevated capacity levels.”

Finazzo added, “As we look to the balance of 2024, we expect commercial demand to remain strong resulting from a favorable operating backdrop. We have acquired $30.6 million of feedstock year-to-date and have letters of intent on an additional $51.7 million of inventory that we expect during the year. Feedstock availability remains pressured as a result of OEM delivery issues, but we believe we are positioned in the market to drive returns from available aircraft as a result of our purpose-built end-to-end solution that is unique to the industry.”

Asset Management Solutions (“Asset Management") revenue increased to $59.3 million during the first quarter of 2024 compared to $48.4 million in the first quarter of 2023, due to the pacing of flight equipment sales mentioned above. Used Serviceable Material (“USM”) revenue increased 15.7% compared to the prior year quarter, while no aircraft in the lease portfolio resulted in overall lower leasing revenue. Excluding flight equipment sales, Asset Management revenue would have been $20.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, same as in the prior year period as improvements in USM offset the reduction in leasing.

TechOps revenue increased 4.8% to $31.3 million in the first quarter of 2024 from $29.8 million in the prior year period. The increase is primarily due to a continued strong demand environment for MRO services during the quarter in the Company’s Component MRO facilities as the commercial aircraft market remains robust, along with stronger demand for MRO generated USM sales compared to the prior year period.

Gross margin was 31.8% in the first quarter of 2024 versus 31.2% in the same period last year, mostly as a result of the sales mix that comprised of additional higher margin flight equipment sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million to $24.1 million in the first quarter of 2024 compared to $25.2 million in the first quarter of 2023. AerSale incurred $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expenses in the first quarter of 2024, versus $2.7 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Income from operations was $4.7 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to a loss from operations of $0.8 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Income tax benefit was $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to income tax expense of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2023.

GAAP net income was $6.3 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to $5 thousand in the first quarter of 2023. AerSale recognized a mark-to-market adjustment benefit of $2.0 million related to the private warrant liability, $0.8 million of stock-based compensation expenses within payroll expenses, and $0.5 million in facility relocation costs during the first quarter of 2024. In the first quarter of 2023, the mark-to-market adjustment expense related to the private warrant liability was $0.3 million, stock-based compensation expenses were $2.7 million and relocations costs were $0.4 million. Excluding these non-cash and unusual items adjusted for tax, Adjusted Net Income was $5.5 million in the first quarter of 2024, compared to Adjusted Net Income of $3.3 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.12 for the first quarter of 2024 and $0.00 in the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted for the non-cash and unusual items noted above, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.11 for the first quarter of 2024 same as earnings per share of $0.07 in the first quarter of 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA in the first quarter of 2024 was $9.0 million versus $5.0 million in the first quarter of 2023. Higher adjusted EBITDA was primarily due to the increase in flight equipment sales, which generally have higher margins.

AerSale ended the quarter with $128.9 million of liquidity consisting of $2.6 million of cash and available capacity of $126.3 million on our $180 million revolving credit facility, expandable to $200 million. Cash used in operating activities was $21.5 million, mainly due to continued investment in inventory.

Update on Engineered Solutions

The Company is continuing its go-to-market strategy for its Enhanced Flight Vision System (“EFVS”), AerAware™, and remains in open dialogue with multiple aircraft operators to secure a first order while continuing to educate potential customers on the benefits of having the AerAware™ system in their fleets.

In December 2023, the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) issued AerSale a Supplemental Type Certificate (“STC”) for “AerAware™”, the Company’s revolutionary Enhanced Flight Vision System (“EFVS”) for the Boeing B737NG product line. This achievement marked the world's first commercial EFVS system to achieve a 50% visual advantage (over unaided natural vision) and the first large transport aircraft to be certified with a complete dual-pilot EFVS solution featuring a Head-Wearable Display. AerSale developed the AerAware™ certification program under license with The Boeing Company, which included access to necessary technical services, maintenance, and engineering data

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Net Income, and adjusted diluted Earnings per Share. AerSale defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) after giving effect to interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income tax expense (benefit), and other non-recurring or unusual items. Adjusted Net Income is defined as net income (loss) after giving effect to mark-to-market adjustments relating to our Private Warrants, stock-based compensation expense and other non-recurring or unusual items. Adjusted diluted earnings per share also exclude these material non-recurring or unusual items.

AerSale believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to AerSale’s financial condition and results of operations. AerSale’s management uses certain of these non-GAAP measures to compare AerSale’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. These non- GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income or net income margin as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP).

You should review AerSale’s financial statements, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate AerSale’s business. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, or Adjusted diluted earnings per share differently, and therefore AerSale’s adjusted EBITDA, adjusted Net Income, or adjusted diluted earnings per share measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Reconciliations of Net Income, the Company’s closest GAAP measure, to adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income, and adjusted diluted earnings per share, are outlined in the tables below following the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
