AerSale Corporation (Nasdaq: ASLE) (“AerSale” or the “Company”) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. The Company’s revenue was $71.2 million, compared to $82.7 million in the prior year period. The decrease in year-over-year revenue was primarily the result of no sales of aircraft or engines during the current period compared to five engines sold for $22.6 million in the prior year period. Excluding¹ the engines sold in the prior year period, revenue increased 18.5% to $71.2 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $60.1 million in the third quarter of 2024. This increase was driven by strong commercial demand for Used Serviceable Material (“USM”) and AerSafe™ products, along with additional contributions from engine leasing, landing gear, aerostructures, accessories and on-airport maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”), including related parts and component sales, partially offset by lower revenue at the Company’s Roswell, New Mexico and Goodyear, Arizona MRO facilities as we transition to higher margin opportunities. 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 of aircraft and engines; therefore, trends relating to USM sales, MRO activity, and our ability to acquire feedstock should also be monitored.

Nicolas Finazzo, AerSale’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “While the quarter did not include any sales of aircraft or engines, our EBITDA margins¹ expanded as we continued to strategically increase our lease pool over the past 18 months. This underscores our balanced strategy to deploy assets through both sales and leases, that will allow us to provide more operational stability quarter-to-quarter. To that end, we were pleased to place an additional 757 freighter aircraft on lease during the third quarter of 2025, and we continue to see strong customer interest in the remaining 757 aircraft we have converted, which we believe positions us well for higher lease revenue going forward.”

Finazzo added, “At the same time, we are seeing demand momentum at our Goodyear MRO facility, where a growing pipeline of recommissioning and service work should extend through 2026 as we seek to place longer-term contracts in the facility. Our AerSafe™ product line, which provides fuel tank flammability protection, also continues to contribute meaningfully to our results, and we expect that trend to carry through the third quarter of 2026 as operators move toward a regulatory compliance deadline which can be satisfied by the installation of AerSafe™.”

Asset Management Solutions revenue in the third quarter of 2025 decreased to $39.2 million compared to $50.4 million in the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to no flight equipment sales of aircraft or engines during the current year quarter. Excluding flight equipment sales, Asset Management Solutions sales were up 40.9% year-over-year to $39.2 million versus $27.8 million in the prior year period, driven by higher USM volume and leasing.

TechOps revenue in the third quarter of 2025 decreased 0.9% to $32.0 million from $32.3 million in the third quarter of 2024. Slightly lower revenue was attributable to decreased sales at the Goodyear and Roswell MRO facilities. Decreased sales at the Roswell MRO facility were due to strategically repurposing the facility to focus on higher margin teardown and decommissioning work. This was offset by higher service and component sales revenue from the Company’s aerostructures and landing gear shops, as well as its engineered solutions product, AerSafe™.

Gross margin was 30.2% in the third quarter of 2025 versus 28.6% in the same period last year due to higher leasing revenue, mix and cost control measures implemented. Refocusing on higher margin opportunities at our MRO facilities also allowed us to increase TechOps margins from 13.6% to 25.3% in the current quarter.

Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were $18.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 versus $21.7 million in the third quarter of 2024. AerSale incurred $1.3 million of share-based compensation expense in the third quarter of 2025, versus $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. Lower SG&A expense compared to the prior-year period reflects cost reduction efforts taken over the past 12 months, predominantly related to variable payroll expense.

Income from operations was $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2025 compared to $2.0 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Income tax expense was $0.7 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to $0.1 million in the third quarter of 2024.

GAAP net loss for the third quarter of 2025 was $0.1 million, compared to GAAP net income of $0.5 million in the prior year period. AerSale recognized a mark-to-market adjustment loss of $21 thousand related to the private warrant liability, $1.3 million of share-based compensation expenses within payroll expenses, and $0.4 million in facility relocation costs during the third quarter of 2025. Excluding these non-cash and unusual items adjusted for tax, adjusted net income¹ was $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to adjusted net income of $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2024.

Diluted loss per share was $0.00 for the third quarter of 2025, compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.01 in the third quarter of 2024. Adjusted for the non-cash and unusual items noted above, adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.04 for both the third quarter of 2025 and the third quarter of 2024.

Adjusted EBITDA¹ in the third quarter of 2025 was $9.5 million versus $8.2 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase in EBITDA year-over-year primarily stemmed from higher leasing revenue during the period and lower operating expenses and fully offset the contributions in flight equipment sales from the prior year.

AerSale ended the quarter with liquidity of $58.9 million consisting of $5.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and available capacity of $53.6 million on its $180 million revolving credit facility, expandable to $200 million, subject to conditions and the availability of lender commitments and borrowing base liabilities. Cash used in operating activities year to date was $34.3 million, primarily due to new investments in inventory as the Company closed on acquisitions contracted during the prior 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 (loss) after giving effect to interest expense, net, 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, share-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 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 (loss) or net income (loss) margin as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by (used in) operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP).

This press release also includes revenue excluding flight equipment sales, which is a non-GAAP measure, to remove the impact of volatility on AerSale’s total revenue and Asset Management Solutions segment revenue. AerSale believes presenting revenue without flight equipment sales is useful because it allows a meaningful comparison of revenue from period to period by eliminating the volatile nature of whole asset sales. However, revenue excluding flight equipment sales should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to revenue calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

You should review AerSale’s 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 (loss), 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.
