Insights

Air T's Q1 FY2025 results show a challenging quarter with mixed performance across segments. The $66.4 million revenue represents a 7% YoY decline, while operating income swung to a $0.6 million loss. The Overnight Air Cargo segment showed resilience with 10% revenue growth, but Ground Equipment Sales struggled with a 38% revenue drop.

The decrease in Total Equity by 10% to $5.2 million is concerning, potentially impacting the company's financial stability. The reduced order backlog in the Ground Equipment Sales segment ($9.9 million vs $13.7 million YoY) suggests potential challenges in future quarters. However, the narrowed loss per share ($0.12 vs $0.19) indicates some improvement in overall performance despite headwinds.

Air T's diversified portfolio demonstrates varying market dynamics across segments. The Overnight Air Cargo segment's growth reflects robust demand in e-commerce and logistics, benefiting from an expanded fleet. However, the significant decline in Ground Equipment Sales suggests potential market saturation or reduced capital expenditure in the aviation industry.

The Commercial Jet Engines and Parts segment's performance indicates a slow recovery in the commercial aviation sector, with lower component part sales. This aligns with the gradual return of air travel post-pandemic. The company's ability to maintain relatively stable Adjusted EBITDA in this segment despite revenue decline suggests effective cost management, which could be important in navigating current market uncertainties.

Air T's Q1 results highlight the need for strategic realignment in certain segments. The company should focus on leveraging the strong performance of its Overnight Air Cargo segment, possibly exploring opportunities to expand its fleet and services further. For the struggling Ground Equipment Sales segment, a review of product offerings and market approach is important to address the declining order backlog.

The stable performance of the Commercial Jet Engines and Parts segment amid revenue decline suggests effective operational efficiency. Air T should consider replicating these efficiency measures across other segments. Additionally, the company might benefit from exploring synergies between segments to create more integrated solutions, potentially opening new revenue streams and enhancing overall corporate resilience in a challenging market environment.

Business Segment Results

Overnight Air Cargo

  • Revenues for this segment increased 10% to $30.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to $27.7 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was principally attributable to higher administrative fees due to increased fleet of 105 aircraft in the current year quarter compared to 85 aircraft in the prior year quarter, partially offset by lower pass-through revenues from FedEx due to initial provisioning for new aircraft in the prior year that did not recur in the current year quarter.

  • Adjusted EBITDA* for this segment was $1.9 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.1 million when compared to the prior year quarter.

Ground Equipment Sales ("GGS")

  • This segment, which includes the world's largest manufacturer of aircraft deicing equipment, manufactures, and provides mobile deicers and other specialized equipment products to passenger and cargo airlines, airports, and military and industrial customers.

  • Revenues for this segment totaled $7.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, down 38% when compared to revenue of $11.8 million in the same quarter in 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by the lower number of deicing trucks sold offset by a slight increase in catering truck sales in the current year quarter compared to the prior year's comparable quarter.

  • Adjusted EBITDA* loss for this segment was $0.7 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $0.6 million compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to the revenue decrease noted above.

Commercial Jet Engines and Parts

  • This segment leases commercial jet engines and aircraft; buys, sells and trades in surplus and aftermarket commercial jet engines, engine parts, airframes, and airframe parts, avionics, and other; then delivers the related documents and logistics.

  • Revenues for this segment totaled $26.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $3.6 million versus revenues of $29.8 million in the previous year's first fiscal quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower component part sales at Contrail in the current quarter compared to the prior year comparable quarter.

  • Adjusted EBITDA* for this segment was $1.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2024, which approximates the Adjusted EBITDA for the prior year comparable quarter.

Corporate and Other

  • This segment's Adjusted EBITDA* for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 represented a loss of $2.3 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA* loss of $2.2 million in the same quarter a year ago.

*Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure; see below for further explanation and reconciliation to GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, to evaluate the Company's financial performance. This performance measure is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by removing the impact of specific items and adding back the amounts of interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. When calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company does not add back depreciation expense for aircraft engines that are on lease, as the Company believes this expense matches with the corresponding revenue earned on engine leases. There was no depreciation expense for leased engines for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company's performance because it provides investors additional information about the Company's operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace or be an alternative to operating income, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.
