Insights

Mesa Air Group's Q3 FY2024 results show mixed signals. While the company reported an 8.0% increase in United Express contract revenue, it still posted a net loss of $19.9 million, or $(0.48) per diluted share. The adjusted net loss of $9.4 million shows some improvement from the previous year.

Key positives include:

  • Extended increased block-hour rate on E-175 flying with United through August 2025
  • Positive adjusted EBITDAR of $10.6 million
  • Asset sales to reduce debt, including $33.5 million from engine sales

However, challenges persist:

  • Total operating revenues decreased by 3.4% year-over-year
  • Ongoing transition to an all E-175 fleet, which may impact short-term performance
  • Substantial debt of $366.4 million, though reduced from the previous year

The company's focus on fleet transition and cost control could lead to improved efficiency, but investors should monitor cash flow and debt levels closely in the coming quarters.

Mesa Air Group's strategic shift towards an all E-175 fleet is a significant move that could streamline operations and reduce costs in the long term. The agreement with United Airlines to accelerate this transition by March 1, 2025, with up to $14 million in reimbursement for transition costs, is a positive development.

Key operational highlights:

  • 99.94% controllable completion factor, indicating strong operational reliability
  • Improved block-hour rates with United, despite fewer block hours flown
  • Potential for increased utilization as pilot resources are available for E-175 operations

However, the transition period may lead to short-term challenges:

  • Lag in block-hours due to CRJ-900 removal and pilot training for E-175s
  • Ongoing need to manage fleet mix and utilization efficiently
  • Potential volatility in financial performance during the transition phase

The focus on a single fleet type could lead to operational efficiencies and cost savings, but the success of this strategy will depend on Mesa's ability to execute the transition smoothly and capitalize on the benefits of a unified fleet.

PHOENIX, Oct. 16, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MESA) (“Mesa” or the “Company”) today reported third quarter fiscal 2024 financial and operating results.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Update:

  • Total operating revenues of $110.8 million, United Express contract revenue 8.0% higher year-over-year
  • Pre-tax loss of $20.7 million, net loss of $19.9 million, or $(0.48) per diluted share
  • Adjusted net loss1 of $9.4 million2, or $(0.23) per diluted share
  • Adjusted EBITDAR1 of $10.6 million
  • Operated at a 99.94% controllable completion factor3

United CPA and Fleet Update:

  • Extended increased block-hour rate on E-175 flying in current United CPA through August 31, 2025
  • At United’s request, agreed to accelerate transition of fleet to all E-175s by March 1, 2025
  • United to reimburse costs up to $14 million associated with transition
  • United to purchase two CRJ-700s formerly leased to a third party for total proceeds of $11.0 million, $4.5 million of which will pay down the related outstanding obligations
  • Mesa and United remain in discussions for an enhanced CPA to support long-term profitability

Additional Updates:

  • During June quarter, entered agreements to sell 23 CF34-8C engines for total proceeds of $33.5 million, $29.0 million of which will pay down U.S. Treasury debt
  • Completed all asset transactions to eliminate RASPRO finance lease obligation
  • Generated $9.6 million from sale of approximately 2.3 million common shares of Archer Aviation, Inc. (“Archer”), originally acquired for $5.0 million, with Mesa still retaining up to approximately 1.17 million unvested equity warrants4 in Archer

“While we were pleased to experience an 8.0% increase in United Express contract revenue, our third-quarter block-hours were negatively impacted by a lag as we removed CRJ-900s from our contractual fleet and trained pilots to fly our E-175s,” said Jonathan Ornstein, Chairman and CEO. “We generated positive adjusted EBITDAR for the second straight quarter given improving fleet mix and cost control. We continue to monetize our surplus assets and will direct proceeds toward reducing the related obligations and, as a result, interest expense. We were modestly operating cash flow-positive during the third quarter.

“Importantly, we have extended the increased block-hour rate in our CPA with United into next year. United has also agreed to reimburse Mesa for expenses associated with the transition to fully flying E-175 aircraft. The updated financial terms and our ongoing planning with United is critical as we rebuild our E-175 fleet utilization and margin runway through fiscal year 2025. We currently have the pilot resources to fly increased E-175 block hours, and have started the process of recalling pilots from furlough in anticipation of improved aircraft utilization.

“While we are not yet providing a forecast for fiscal year 2025, our focus continues to be on increasing utilization and maintaining overall operational performance,” continued Ornstein. “As we transition into flying all E-175s, we will look to drive additional efficiencies from operating a single fleet type. We will also continue to consider longer-term financial and strategic opportunities to enhance the business.”

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Details

Total operating revenues in Q3 2024 were $110.8 million, a decrease of $3.9 million, or 3.4%, from $114.7 million for Q3 2023. Contract revenue increased $1.2 million, or 1.3%, to $95.6 million, compared to $94.4 million in Q3 2023, driven by higher E-175 block-hour rates with United Airlines despite 3.3% fewer block hours. This increase was partially offset by higher deferred revenue in Q3 2024 and the wind-down of the DHL contract.

Pass-through revenue decreased by $5.1 million, or 25.3%, driven by lower pass-through maintenance expense. Mesa’s Q3 2024 results include, per GAAP, the deferral of $2.3 million in revenue, versus the recognition of $1.8 million of previously deferred revenue in Q3 2023. The remaining deferred revenue balance of $12.4 million will be recognized as flights are completed over the remaining term of the United contract.

Total operating expenses in Q3 2024 were $119.8 million, a decrease of $35.1 million, or 22.7%, versus Q3 2023. This decrease primarily reflects a $22.6 million lower asset impairment loss. In addition, maintenance expense decreased by $6.8 million primarily due to lower labor and pass-through costs, and flight operations expense was $6.1 million lower due to decreases in pilot wages and training costs. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $5.6 million primarily due to the retirement and sale of CRJ aircraft and engines.

Mesa’s Q3 2024 results reflect a net loss of $19.9 million, or $(0.48) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $47.6 million, or $(1.17) per diluted share, for Q3 2023. Mesa’s Q3 2024 adjusted net loss was $9.4 million, or $(0.23) per diluted share, versus an adjusted net loss of $27.2 million, or $(0.67) per diluted share, in Q3 2023.

Mesa’s adjusted EBITDA1 for Q3 2024 was $8.9 million, compared to an adjusted EBITDA loss of $1.8 million for Q3 2023. Adjusted EBITDAR was $10.6 million for Q3 2024, compared to an adjusted EBITDAR loss of $0.9 million for Q3 2023.

Third Quarter Fiscal 2024 Operating Performance

Operationally, the Company reported a controllable completion factor of 99.94% for United during Q3 2024. This is compared to a controllable completion factor of 98.83% for United during Q3 2023. Controllable completion factor excludes cancellations due to weather and air traffic control.

For Q3 2024, approximately 98% of the Company’s total revenue was derived from its contract with United. The Company’s CPA with United provided for 73 large (70/76 seats) jets, comprising a mix of E-175s and CRJ-900s. In Q3 2024, Mesa’s fleet mix comprised 55 E-175s and 18 CRJ-900s.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Mesa ended the June quarter with $16.3 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents. As of June 30, 2024, the Company had $366.4 million in total debt, secured primarily with aircraft and engines, compared to a balance of $577.5 million as of June 30, 2023.

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures

Although these financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"), certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide investors with useful information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Mesa's ongoing operations and may be useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. The tables below reflect supplemental financial data and reconciliations to GAAP financial statements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023. Readers should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not a substitute for, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude some, but not all items that may affect the Company's net income or loss. Additionally, these calculations may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies.
