MIAMI--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- AerSale Corporation (Nasdaq: ASLE) (the “Company”) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2022. The Company’s revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $139.6 million compared to $91.9 million in the second quarter of 2021. Revenue for the second quarter of 2022 included $92.5 million of flight equipment sales versus $42.7 million of flight equipment sales in the prior-year period. Flight equipment sales in the second quarter of 2022 consisted of three aircraft and three engines, which included two Boeing 757 freighters converted by AerSale and the early delivery of one Boeing 747 freighter which closed at the end of the second quarter but was internally forecasted to close in the third quarter. Leasing revenue for the current quarter reflected increased utilization from the Company’s leased flight equipment compared to the year ago period. Revenue from Used Serviceable Material (USM) also improved compared to the same quarter last year due to an increase in demand and availability of feedstock.

TechOps revenue declined during the second quarter when compared to the same quarter in the prior year, driven in part by lower storage maintenance at both AerSale’s Roswell and Goodyear facilities as the return of aircraft into operation gained momentum. In addition, allocation of labor and hangar space to support AerSale’s Boeing 757 passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversion line reduced available capacity and MRO revenue for third party work at our Goodyear facility compared to the same quarter in 2021 in which no AerSale 757 P2F conversions were in progress. The decrease in revenue from on airport MRO activities was partially offset by higher revenue from component MRO.

Nicolas Finazzo, AerSale’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “I am pleased to report that we set another record for the Company in the second quarter, with sales growth of over 50% and adjusted EBITDA growth over 35%. This is a remarkable result that is attributable to the dedication of all our team members to execute efficiently on our 757 P2F conversion program, which has driven results since the program inception, combined with a strengthening commercial backdrop boosting higher sales of Used Serviceable Material (USM).”

Finazzo added, “We reached an important milestone in our AerAware program, with the completion of software validation by our partner, Elbit Systems subsidiary, Universal Avionics. Software development to optimize it for the 737 platform represents more than two years of work by our collective team. We have also completed a third set of demonstration flights to the FAA, in anticipation of performing our final FAA certification flights to obtain the AerAware STC in the coming months. With the introduction of AerAware to commercial airlines we expect the market to eagerly adopt this technology, particularly as it stands to significantly increase operational safety, efficiency, and on-time performance during limited visibility conditions, while minimizing flight delays, diversions, fuel burn and carbon emissions.”

GAAP net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $26.5 million or 18.9% of sales compared to $16.5 million or 18.0% of sales in the second quarter of 2021. AerSale recognized a mark-to-market adjustment income related to the private warrant liability of $1.4 million, $3.9 million of stock-based compensation expenses within payroll expenses, $1.8 million in non-cash inventory write-offs recorded in the cost of products line, and $0.9 million non-cash impairment of flight equipment recorded within leasing costs during the second quarter. In the second quarter of 2021, the mark-to-market adjustment expense to the private warrant liability was $0.4 million, the non-cash inventory write-offs were $4.8 million and stock-based compensation expenses were de minimis. Adjusted Net Income excluding these non-cash items was $31.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $21.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share was $0.47 for the second quarter of 2022 compared to $0.38 in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted for the non-cash items noted above, diluted earnings per share was $0.56 for the second quarter of 2022 and $0.50 in the second quarter of 2021. Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation table at the end of this press release for additional details on adjusted Net Income and adjusted diluted earnings per share.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 was $41.1 million, or 29.4% of sales, compared to $30.4 million, or 33.1% of sales in the second quarter of 2021. Higher adjusted EBITDA was a result of the increase in flight equipment sales and associated contribution, which was partially offset by $8.4 million in Payroll Support Program proceeds recognized during the second quarter of 2021. There were no corresponding proceeds in the current quarter. Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation table at the end of this press release for additional details on adjusted EBITDA.

Year-to-date cash flows from operating activities was $41.2 million as of June 30^th, 2022 primarily due to strong GAAP net income results and $13.4 million of cash flow related to monetization of inventory, partially offset by $28.8 million of previously collected deposits related to completed flight equipment sales. The Company ended the quarter with $197.2 million of cash and has an undrawn $150 million credit facility.

Second Quarter 2022 Results of Operations

AerSale reported revenue of $139.6 million in the second quarter of 2022, which included $92.5 million of flight equipment sales. The Company’s revenue for the second quarter of 2021 was $91.9 million and included $42.7 million of flight equipment sales. As a reminder to investors, flight equipment sales may significantly vary quarter-to-quarter, and AerSale believes full-year analysis, rather than year-over-year quarterly comparisons is a more appropriate measurement of Company progress.

Asset Management Solutions (AMS) revenue increased by 90.0% to $114.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 primarily due to the above-mentioned flight equipment sales. USM parts sales also improved in the second quarter of 2022, as demand for USM parts climbed due to the recovery in passenger travel as compared to the prior year period. In addition, leasing revenue rose in the second quarter of 2022 compared to the second quarter of 2021, as volume and utilization of the Company’s leased flight equipment was stronger.

Revenue from TechOps decreased 20.7% to $25.1 million in the second quarter of 2022, largely on account of lower storage maintenance at AerSale’s Roswell and Goodyear facilities as the return of third party aircraft into service continued. In addition, allocation of labor and hangar space to support AerSale’s Boeing 757 P2F conversion line reduced available capacity and MRO revenue for third party work at our Goodyear facility compared to the same quarter in 2021 in which no AerSale 757 P2F conversions were in progress. The decrease in revenue from airport MRO activities was partially offset by revenue from component MRO activities.

Gross margin was 39.4% in the second quarter of 2022 compared to 33.4% in the year ago period mainly due to the sale of higher margin flight equipment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, excluding Payroll Support Program proceeds, were $23.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $17.0 million in the second quarter of 2021. AerSale received $8.4 million in Payroll Support Program proceeds during the second quarter of 2021 and did not receive any Payroll Support Program proceeds in the second quarter of 2022. The Company also incurred $3.9 million of stock-based compensation expenses in the second quarter of 2022, which was de minimis in the second quarter of 2021.

Income from operations was $31.5 million in the second quarter of 2022 versus $22.2 million in the second quarter of 2021.

Income tax expense was $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2022 compared to $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2021.

GAAP net income was $26.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, up 59.9% from $16.5 million in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted for stock-based compensation, mark-to-market adjustment to the private warrant liability, non-cash inventory write-offs, and non-cash impairment of flight equipment, Adjusted Net Income was $31.7 million in the second quarter of 2022 and $21.8 million in the second quarter of 2021. Diluted earnings per share increased to $0.47 for the second quarter of 2022 from $0.38 in the second quarter of 2021. Adjusted for the non-cash items noted above, diluted earnings per share was $0.56 in the second quarter of 2022, compared to $0.50 in the second quarter of 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2022 was $41.1 million, or 29.4% of sales, compared to $30.4 million, or 33.1% of sales in the second quarter of 2021. The improvement in adjusted EBITDA was largely attributable to an uptick in revenues from higher margin businesses. Adjusted EBITDA for the second quarter of 2021 reflected the benefit from $8.4 million in Payroll Support Program proceeds, for which there were no corresponding proceeds in the second quarter of 2022.

Martin Garmendia, AerSale’s Chief Financial Officer, said: “We are excited to report our record results this quarter where our outstanding performance exceeded our own internal projections. We have yet again demonstrated the strength of our purpose built model as well as our excellent execution capabilities. We believe we are well positioned to continue to generate strong returns to all our stakeholders.”

2022 Guidance

AerSale reaffirmed its guidance for revenue of $420 - $450 million and adjusted EBITDA of $80 - $90 million in 2022. In providing this guidance, the Company is mindful that recent geopolitical events related to the Russian invasion of Ukraine may impact the global commercial aerospace industry, but has not specifically adjusted for these factors beyond known impacts that the Company has already identified.

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 of financial results 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 provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP).

You should review AerSale’s audited 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.
