Rhea-AI Filing Summary

AerSale Corporation reported mixed fourth quarter and full year 2025 results that emphasized profitability and margin expansion over top-line growth. Fourth quarter 2025 revenue was $90.9 million, down 4.0% from a year earlier, mainly because of lower and lumpier flight equipment sales. However, adjusted EBITDA rose to $15.2 million, up 17.1%, lifting margin to 16.7% of revenue as maintenance, repair and overhaul work and leasing became more profitable and cost-cutting took hold.

For full year 2025, revenue slipped 2.8% to $335.3 million, but GAAP net income grew to $8.6 million and adjusted EBITDA increased 38.2% to $46.1 million, or 13.8% of revenue. Excluding flight equipment sales, revenue grew strongly as used serviceable material, leasing, and MRO activities expanded. Diluted earnings per share were $0.18, while adjusted diluted earnings per share climbed to $0.33. AerSale ended the year with $71.6 million of liquidity, including $4.4 million in cash and access to its revolving credit facility, after investing heavily in feedstock inventory.

Positive

Strong profitability and margin expansion: 2025 adjusted EBITDA increased to $46.1 million, up 38.2% year-over-year, with margin improving to 13.8% of revenue as the business mix shifted toward higher-margin leasing, USM, and MRO activities.
Significant growth in adjusted earnings: Adjusted net income rose to $15.8 million in 2025 from $9.5 million in 2024, and adjusted diluted EPS nearly doubled from $0.18 to $0.33, reflecting better operating efficiency and mix.

Negative

Operating cash outflow and higher borrowings: Net cash used in operating activities was $22.97 million in 2025, and the revolving credit facility balance increased to $110.1 million, indicating greater reliance on debt to fund inventory and other uses.
Top-line contraction and reduced flight equipment sales: Total 2025 revenue declined 2.8% to $335.3 million, with flight equipment sales falling to $56.4 million from $110.1 million, increasing dependence on other segments to drive growth.

Insights

Profitability and margins improved sharply despite modest revenue declines.

AerSale delivered higher earnings in 2025 even as reported revenue fell 2.8% to $335.3 million. The shift away from volatile flight equipment sales toward recurring used serviceable material, leasing, and MRO activities lifted full-year adjusted EBITDA to $46.1 million, up 38.2%.

Fourth quarter data reinforces this mix shift: total revenue declined 4.0%, but adjusted EBITDA rose 17.1% and gross margin improved to 34.1%. Management attributes this to efficiency initiatives, higher-margin leasing, and stronger demand for AerSafe™ and other aftermarket solutions.

Cash from operating activities was a use of $22.97 million, largely from inventory build, while the revolver balance increased to $110.1 million. Actual impact on the investment case depends on how effectively AerSale converts its expanded feedstock and lease pool into future cash flow.

Leverage and working capital needs increased as inventory expanded.

While earnings improved, AerSale’s cash profile weakened in 2025. Net cash used in operating activities was $22.97 million, reversing from positive cash generation in 2024, primarily due to significant inventory and feedstock acquisitions within the Asset Management segment.

To support this, the company drew more on its revolving credit facility, with the outstanding balance rising to $110.1 million. It also spent $45.0 million on treasury stock, returning capital while increasing reliance on debt.

Year-end liquidity totaled $71.6 million, combining $4.4 million of cash and $67.2 million of availability on the revolver. Subsequent filings may provide more detail on how quickly AerSale monetizes its inventory and manages leverage.

Fourth Quarter 2025 Results of Operations

The Company’s revenue for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $90.9 million, representing a decrease of 4.0% compared to $94.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 primarily due to the timing of flight equipment sales. Adjusted EBITDA¹ in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased by $2.2 million to $15.2 million, or 16.7% of total revenue, representing an increase of 17.1% compared to $13.0 million, or 13.7% of total revenue, in the comparable prior year period. The increase in adjusted EBITDA¹ was mainly driven by improved profitability from our maintenance repair and overhaul (“MRO”) activities and lower overall expenses due to the cost-cutting initiatives executed at the beginning of the year.

As a reminder to investors, the Company’s revenue is likely to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year based on flight equipment sales and therefore, progress should be monitored based on flight equipment leasing, used serviceable material (“USM”) sales, and asset purchases, as well as MRO activities.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, flight equipment sales were $20.9 million and consisted of four engines, compared to $31.0 million from six engines sold in the comparable prior year period. Excluding flight equipment sales, revenue grew 9.8% as we continue to grow the more recurring parts of our business.

This increase was primarily driven by strong commercial demand for USM, as well as increased leasing revenue from an expanded lease pool, which includes the deployment of two Boeing 757 freighter aircraft. Our landing gear,

aerostructures, and component MRO facilities also delivered improved performance and profitability; and demand for our AerSafe™ Engineered Solutions product also increased. These increases were partially offset by lower heavy MRO revenue at the Roswell, New Mexico facility as the Company transitioned to higher‑margin opportunities that offset the margin declines related to the lower revenue. The Goodyear, Arizona facility also experienced revenue declines due to the expiration of a customer contract; however, the impact was mitigated by a strong pipeline of storage revenue related to the Geared Turbo Fan (“GTF”) engine reliability issues that have also resulted in greater margin contributions.

Nick Finazzo, Chief Executive Officer at AerSale, stated, “We completed 2025 in line with our expectations, which focused on growing our USM, leasing, and MRO activities that are a core part of our multi-dimensional business model and help offset the inherent volatility of flight equipment sales. This disciplined execution also resulted in higher margin contributions which was a focus of the efficiency initiatives we executed in the beginning of 2025.”

Finazzo added, “As we enter 2026, we remain focused on continuing our growth momentum by monetizing our strong inventory position and expanding our MRO capabilities and capacity, which will benefit our customers and continue to build long‑term shareholder value.”

Asset Management Solutions (“Asset Management”) revenue decreased 11.1% to $56.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $64.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Excluding flight equipment sales, total revenue in the fourth quarter of 2025 increased 9.1% to $36.0 million from $33.0 million in the prior year, driven by increased leasing and USM volume. The Company had 18 engines and two B757 freighter aircraft on lease in the current quarter, compared to 20 engines and one B757 freighter on lease in the prior year period. Although the total number of engines on lease decreased slightly over the prior period year, the portfolio mix shifted toward higher‑demand engine types and benefited from a tight leasing market, resulting in stronger average lease rates and higher yields.

Technical Operations (“TechOps”) revenue increased 10.7% to $34.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 from $30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher sales from the Company’s aerostructures and landing gear MROs as we have been successful in winning new contracts, as well as from higher demand for our AerSafe™ product in advance of the Federal Aviation Administration’s 2026 compliance requirements for a Fuel Quantity Indication System airworthiness directive. These increases were partially offset by revenue decreases from our on-airport MRO activities resulting from the strategic repurposing of the Roswell, New Mexico facility to focus on higher-margin aircraft storage and the expiration of a customer contract at the Goodyear, Arizona MRO facility, which was partially mitigated by a strong pipeline of storage revenue related to recent GTF engine reliability issues.

Gross margin increased to 34.1% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 31.4% in the same period last year, driven by higher margins generated from our leasing portfolio and on-airport MROs.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $23.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 versus $24.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. AerSale incurred $1.8 million of share-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2025 versus $1.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Income from operations was $7.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $4.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Income tax expense was $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to $1.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate was 3.3% in the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to 40.1% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was $5.4 million, compared to net income of $2.7 million in the prior year. During the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company recognized $1.8 million of share-based compensation expenses within payroll expenses, $0.2 million in non-cash inventory write-downs, and $0.3 million in facility relocation costs. Excluding these non-cash and unusual items and adjusted for tax, adjusted net income¹ was $7.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted net income¹ of $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.11 for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.05 in the fourth quarter of 2024. Adjusted for the non-cash and unusual items noted above, adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ was $0.16 for the fourth quarter of 2025 compared to $0.09 for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Full Year 2025 Results of Operations

For full year 2025, AerSale reported revenue of $335.3 million, representing a decrease of 2.8% compared to $345.1 million for the full year of 2024. Adjusted EBITDA¹ for 2025 was $46.1 million, or 13.8% of total revenue, representing an increase of 38.2% compared to $33.4 million, or 9.7% of total revenue in 2024. This improvement over the prior year was driven by margin expansion and disciplined cost management as the Company implemented an efficiency initiative in early 2025 and diversified its product mix.

In 2025, flight equipment sales were $56.4 million and consisted of 13 engines, compared to $110.1 million from 20 engines and one aircraft in the prior year period. Excluding flight equipment sales, revenue during the full year of 2025 grew 18.7% year‑over‑year as the company continued to grow the more recurring parts of the business.

Asset Management revenue was $211.6 million, compared to $215.5 million in 2024 due to lower flight equipment sales, which were partially offset by increased USM volume and increased leasing activity.

TechOps revenue for the full year of 2025 decreased 4.5% to $123.7 million from $129.6 million for the full year of 2024, driven by decreases at our on-airport MRO facilities, which were partially offset by increased revenue from the Company’s aerostructures and landing gear MRO facilities, as well as higher demand for our AerSafe^TM product.

The gross margin for the full year of 2025 was 31.5%, compared to 30.1% in 2024, reflecting a favorable sales mix, increased contribution from recurring aftermarket and leasing activities, and disciplined cost management across the business.

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $90.0 million for full year of 2025 versus $94.2 million for full year of 2024. AerSale incurred $4.9 million of share-based compensation expense in 2025, versus $4.3 million in 2024.

Income from operations was $15.8 million for the full year of 2025, compared to income from operations of $9.7 million for the full year of 2024.

Income tax expense was $2.0 million in 2025, compared to $2.0 million in 2024. The Company’s effective tax rate was 18.5% for full year of 2025 compared to 25.3% for full year of 2024.

Net income for 2025 was $8.6 million, compared to net income of $5.9 million in the prior year. The Company recognized a mark-to-market adjustment benefit of $0.1 million related to the private warrant liability, $4.9 million of share-based compensation expenses within payroll expenses, $0.2 million in non-cash inventory write-downs, $1.4 million in facility relocation costs, $1.1 million in restructuring costs, and $0.4 million related to a legal settlement. Excluding these non-cash and unusual items and adjusted for tax, adjusted net income¹ was $15.8 million in 2025, compared to adjusted net income¹ of $9.5 million in 2024.

Diluted earnings per share was $0.18 for 2025 and $0.11 in 2024. Adjusted for the non-cash and unusual items noted above, adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ was $0.33 for full year of 2025 while adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ was $0.18 in full year of 2024.

AerSale ended the year with $71.6 million in liquidity, including $4.4 million in cash and $67.2 million available on our $180 million revolving credit facility, expandable to $200 million. Cash used in operating activities in 2025 was $23.0 million, primarily related to feedstock acquisitions as we continue to grow the Asset Management segment.

Conference Call Information

The Company will host a conference call today, March 5, 2026 at 4:30 pm Eastern Time to discuss these results. A live audio webcast will be available to the public on a listen-only basis at https://ir.aersale.com/news-events/events. An archived replay of the webcast will also be available on the Investors portion of the AerSale website at https://ir.aersale.com/ for one year.

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 excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, income tax expense, and other non-cash, non-recurring or unusual items. Adjusted net income is defined as net income excluding mark-to-market adjustments relating to our private warrants, stock-based compensation expense and other non-cash, non-recurring or unusual items. Adjusted diluted earnings per share is adjusted net income divided by the diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the measurement period.

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.

End Notes

⁽¹⁾ Adjusted net income, adjusted EBITDA and adjusted diluted earnings per share are non-GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” and “Adjusted EBITDA, Net Income and Diluted EPS Reconciliation Table” at the end of this press release for a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful together with a detailed reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure.

⁽²⁾ For the twelve months ended December 31, 2025, an additional $11.4 million of feedstock acquisitions were under contract.
