Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights

2024 Full Year Highlights

Coral Gables, Florida – March 6, 2025 - AerSale Corporation (Nasdaq: ASLE) (the “Company” or “AerSale”) today reported results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 was $94.7 million, compared to $94.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company sold $31.0 million of flight equipment, compared to $47.4 million in the prior year period. Flight equipment sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 consisted of six engines compared to five engines and one aircraft, which included a P2F converted Boeing 757 aircraft in the prior year period. Excluding flight equipment sales, fourth-quarter 2024 revenue rose 35.5% year-over-year to $63.7 million, due to improved feedstock levels and strong commercial demand. 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 maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) activity, asset purchases and related sales.

​

Nick Finazzo, Chief Executive Officer at AerSale, stated, “We concluded the year on a positive note, marked by significant growth across our business sectors despite a decrease in whole asset sales compared to the previous year. When excluding whole assets, which can fluctuate from quarter to quarter, our revenue for the fourth quarter of 2024 increased by over 35% compared to the same period last year. This growth was primarily driven by a 92% rise in asset management revenue. These results highlight the success of the strategic initiatives we outlined earlier in the year, with higher leasing, used serviceable material (“USM”), and MRO revenue all contributing to sustained long-term sales growth.”

​

Finazzo added, “We are starting 2025 with strong momentum, backed by a positive commercial backdrop and high demand for aircraft parts and services. Combined with multiple expansion projects coming online in 2025, a robust environment for AerSafe™ and an improving lease pool, we are positioned to build on the momentum we set throughout 2024.”

​

Asset Management Solutions (“Asset Management") revenue decreased to $64.0 million during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to $64.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2023, due to higher whole asset sales in the

​

prior-year period which included the delivery of a 757 P2F conversion aircraft. Excluding whole assets, sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 were up 91.7% year-over-year, driven by higher leasing and USM volume. The Company had nine additional engines and one B757 P2F aircraft on lease during the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to the prior year period.

​

Technical Operations (“TechOps”) revenue increased 3.1% to $30.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 from $29.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 primarily due to higher revenues from the Company’s aerostructures unit and contributions from Millington, TN, our new heavy MRO facility, that went online during the year.

​

Gross margin was 31.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024 compared to 25.9% in the same period last year, due to a sales mix that included higher-margin whole engine and airframe USM.

​

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $24.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 versus $25.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2023. AerSale incurred $1.2 million of share-based compensation expense in the fourth quarter of 2024, versus $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

​

Excluding these non-cash and unusual items adjusted for tax, adjusted net income was $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, compared to adjusted net loss of $0.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023.

​

​

Full Year 2024 Results of Operations

For the full year 2024, AerSale reported revenue of $345.1 million, which represents an increase of 3.2% from $334.5 million for the full year 2023. Asset Management revenue was $215.5 million, compared to $215.2 million in the full year 2023, as USM volume and increased assets in the lease pool offset lower whole asset sales.

​

TechOps revenue for the full year of 2024 grew by 8.6% to $129.6 million from $119.3 million for the full year of 2023, driven by increased revenues from the Company’s accessory and landing gear MRO facilities and higher demand for AerSafe, partially offset by lower sales at its Goodyear, AZ facility.  

​

The gross margin for the full year 2024 was 30.1%, compared to 27.6% in 2023. This increase was due to a favorable sales mix and an overall strong macroeconomic environment, which improved Asset Management margins.

​

Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $94.2 million for full year 2024 versus $103.2 million for full year 2023. AerSale incurred $4.3 million of share-based compensation expense in 2024, versus $12.1 million in 2023.

​

​

​

Adjusted EBITDA for 2024 was $33.4 million or 9.7% of sales versus $12.3 million or 3.6% of sales in 2023. This increase was primarily due higher margins and lower expenses during 2024.

​

AerSale ended the year with $142.8 million in liquidity, including $4.7 million in cash and $138.1 million available on our $180 million revolving credit facility, expandable to $200 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted diluted earnings (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss) 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 (loss), or adjusted diluted earnings (loss) 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.
