NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Organization
Monocle Acquisition Corporation (“Monocle”) was initially formed on August 20, 2018 for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, recapitalization, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses.
On December 22, 2020, Monocle consummated the previously announced business combination pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 8, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among Monocle, AerSale Corporation (f/k/a Monocle Holdings Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), AerSale Aviation, Inc. (f/k/a AerSale Corp.), a Delaware corporation (“AerSale Aviation”), Monocle Merger Sub 1 Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Merger Sub 1”), Monocle Merger Sub 2 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Merger Sub 2”), and Leonard Green & Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, solely in its capacity as the initial Holder Representative (as defined in the Merger Agreement). The transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are referred to herein as the “Merger” or the “Business Combination” and in connection therewith, Monocle merged with and into us, whereby we survived the Merger and became the successor issuer to Monocle by operation of Rule 12g-3 under the Exchange Act.
Upon the consummation of the Merger: (a) Merger Sub 1 was merged with and into Monocle, with Monocle surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of the Company (the “First Merger”), and (b) Merger Sub 2 was merged with and into AerSale Aviation, with AerSale Aviation surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of the Company (the “Second Merger”). In connection with the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), AerSale Aviation changed its name from “AerSale Corp.” to “AerSale Aviation, Inc.” and the Company changed its name from “Monocle Holdings Inc.” to “AerSale Corporation.” Immediately following the Merger, the Company contributed all of its ownership in Monocle to AerSale Aviation which continued as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Company’s corporate headquarters is based in Miami, Florida, with additional offices, hangars, and warehouses located globally.
NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which permits reduced disclosures for interim periods. Although these interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual consolidated financial statements, management believes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows have been made. Unaudited interim results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”), wherein a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information can be found.

Revenue Recognition
Products Revenue — Used Serviceable Material (“USM”) Sales
Revenues from sales of USM are measured based on consideration specified in a contract with a customer, and excludes any sales commissions and taxes collected and remitted to government agencies. We recognize revenue when we satisfy a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to a customer. The parts are sold at a fixed price with no right of return. In determining the performance obligation, management has identified the promise in the contract to be the shipment of the spare parts to the customer. Title passes to the buyer when the goods are shipped, and the buyer is responsible for any loss in transit and the Company has a legal right to payment for the spare parts once shipped. We generally sell our USM products under standard 30-day payment terms, subject to certain exceptions. Customers neither have the right to return products nor do they have the right to extended financing. The Company has determined that physical acceptance of the spare parts to be a formality in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).
Spare parts revenue is based on a set price for a set number of parts as defined in the purchase order. The performance obligation is completed once the parts have shipped and as a result, all of the transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. The Company has determined that it is appropriate to recognize spare parts sales at a point in time (i.e., the date the parts are shipped) in accordance with ASC 606.
Products Revenue — Whole Asset Sales
Revenues from whole asset sales are measured based on consideration specified in the contract with the customer. The Company and customer enter into an agreement which outlines the place and date of sale, purchase price, condition of the whole asset, bill of sale and the assignment of rights and warranties from the Company to the customer. The Company has identified the transfer of the whole asset as the performance obligation. The transaction price is set at a fixed dollar amount per fixed quantity (number of whole assets) and is explicitly stated in each contract. Whole asset sales revenue is based on a set price for a set number of assets, which is allocated to the performance obligation discussed above, in its entirety. The Company has determined the date of transfer to the customer is the date the customer obtains control over the asset and would cause the revenue recognition. Payment is required in full upon customers’ acceptance of the whole asset on the date of the transfer, unless the Company extends credit terms to customers it deems creditworthy.
Leasing Revenue
The Company leases aircraft and engines (“Flight Equipment”) under operating leases that contain monthly base rent and reports rental income straight line over the life of the lease as it is earned. Additionally, the Company’s leases provide for supplemental rent, which is calculated based on actual hours or cycles of utilization and, for certain components, based on the amount of time until maintenance of that component is required. In certain leases, the Company records supplemental rent paid by the lessees as maintenance deposit payments and other liabilities in recognition of the Company’s contractual commitment to reimburse qualifying maintenance. Reimbursements to the lessees upon receipt of evidence of qualifying maintenance work are charged against the existing maintenance deposit payment liabilities. In leases where the Company is responsible for performing certain repairs or replacement of aircraft components or engines, supplemental rent is recorded as revenue in the period earned. In the event of premature lease termination or lessee default on the lease terms, revenue recognition will be discontinued when outstanding balances are beyond the customers’ deposits held. Flight Equipment leases are billed in accordance with the lease agreement and invoices are due upon receipt.
Services Revenue
Revenues for services are recognized as performance obligations are fulfilled and the benefits are transferred to the customer. At contract inception, we evaluate if the contract should be accounted for as a single performance obligation or if the contract contains multiple performance obligations. In some cases, our service contract with the customer is considered one performance obligation as it includes factors such as the good or service being provided is significantly integrated with other promises in the contract, the service provided significantly modifies or customizes the other good or service or the goods or services are highly interdependent or interrelated with each other. If the contract has more than one
6
performance obligation, the Company determines the standalone price of each distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation and allocates the transaction price based on their relative standalone selling prices. The transaction price of a contract, which can include both fixed and variable amounts, is allocated to each performance obligation identified. Some contracts contain variable consideration, which could include incremental fees or penalty provisions related to performance. Variable consideration that can be reasonably estimated based on current assumptions and historical information is included in the transaction price at the inception of the contract but limited to the amount that is probable that a significant reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur.
For most service contracts, our performance obligations are satisfied over time as work progresses or at a point in time based on transfer of control of products and services to our customers. We receive payments from our customers based on billing schedules or other terms as written in our contracts.
For our performance obligations that are satisfied over time, we measure progress in a manner that depicts the performance of transferring control to the customer. As such, we utilize the input method of cost-to-cost to recognize revenue over time as this depicts when control of the promised goods or services are transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized based on the relationship of actual costs incurred to date to the estimated total cost at completion of the performance obligation. We are required to make certain judgments and estimates, including estimated revenue and costs, as well as inflation and the overall profitability of the arrangement. Key assumptions involved include future labor costs and efficiencies, overhead costs and ultimate timing of product delivery. Differences may occur between the judgments and estimates made by management and actual program results. Under most of our maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) contracts, if the contract is terminated for convenience, we are entitled to payment for items delivered, fair compensation for work performed, the costs of settling and paying other claims and a reasonable profit on the costs incurred or committed.
Changes in estimates and assumptions related to our arrangements accounted for using the input method based on labor hours are recorded using the cumulative catchup method of accounting. These changes are primarily adjustments to the estimated profitability for our long-term programs where we provide MRO services.
We have elected to use certain practical expedients permitted under ASC 606. Shipping and handling fees and costs incurred associated with outbound freight after control over a product has transferred to a customer are accounted for as a fulfillment cost and are included in cost of sales in our condensed consolidated statements of operations, and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers. Our reported revenue on our condensed consolidated statements of operations is net of any sales or related non-income taxes.
Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
Certain balances in the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily the reclassification of amounts related to deposits for Flight Equipment purchases from deposits, prepaid expenses, and other current assets to advance vendor payments. Such reclassification did not impact net income (loss), stockholders’ equity or total cash flows from operating activities, and did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09, Income Taxes (“Topic 740”): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which would require additional transparency for income tax disclosures, including the income tax rate reconciliation table and cash taxes paid both in the United States and foreign jurisdictions. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We are currently assessing the impact this standard will have on our disclosures.
There have been no other accounting pronouncements issued but not yet adopted by us which are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE C — REVENUE
The timing of revenue recognition, customer billings, and cash collections results in a contract asset or contract liability at the end of each reporting period. Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables or costs incurred where revenue recognized over time exceeds the amounts billed to customers. We record a receivable when revenue is recognized prior to invoicing and we have an unconditional right to consideration (only the passage of time is required before payment of that consideration is due) and a contract asset when the right to payment is conditional upon our future performance. Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Certain customers make advance payments prior to our satisfaction of our performance obligations on the contract. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied. Contract assets and contract liabilities are determined on a contract by contract basis.
Contract assets are as follows (in thousands):
| September 30, 2024 |
| December 31, 2023 |
| Change | ||||
Contract assets | $ | $ | $ | ( | |||||
Contract assets are reported within deposits, prepaid expenses, and other current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Changes in contract assets primarily result from the timing difference between the performance of services. Contract liabilities are reported as deferred revenue on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $

NOTE E — INTANGIBLE ASSETS
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), goodwill and other intangible assets deemed to have indefinite lives are not amortized, but are subject to annual impairment tests. The Company reviews and evaluates our goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets for potential impairment at a minimum annually or more frequently if circumstances indicate that impairment is possible.
The Company determined the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed using a variety of methods. An income approach based on discounted cash flows was used to determine the values of our trademarks, certifications, customer relationships and Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) certificates. The assumptions the Company used to estimate the fair value of our reporting units are based on historical performance, as well as forecasts used in our current business plan and require considerable management judgment.
The Company’s goodwill and intangible assets as defined by ASC 350 is primarily related to our subsidiaries, AerSale Component Solutions (d/b/a AerSale Landing Gear Solutions) (“ALGS”), Avborne Component Solutions (d/b/a AerSale Component Solutions) (“ACS”), and Aircraft Composite Technologies (“ACT”), which are included in the TechOps segment, as well as Qwest Air Parts (“Qwest”), which is included under the Asset Management Solutions segment. See Note L for information about our business segments.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company identified a triggering event indicating the fair value of one or more of the Company’s reporting units more likely than not did not exceed their carrying values. The triggering event was due to the significant decline in the market price of the Company’s common stock during the quarter. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units as of March 31, 2024 and determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values for each reporting unit. Due to the lack of recovery in the stock price during the second and third quarter of 2024, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024, and determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values for each reporting unit. As such, the interim quantitative tests did not result in a goodwill impairment for the Company’s reporting units. In addition, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of long-lived assets and concluded it is not more likely than not that long-lived assets are impaired.
10
Other intangible assets are reviewed at least annually or more frequently if any event or change in circumstance indicates that an impairment may have occurred.

The Private Warrants include provisions that affect the settlement amount. Such variables are outside of those used to determine the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed instrument, and as such, the Private Warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment under guidance contained in ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock. The Company classifies the Private Warrants as a liability at their fair value subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date and adjusted at each reporting period until exercised or expired, and any change in fair value is recognized in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table represents the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

NOTE L — BUSINESS SEGMENTS
Consistent with how our chief operating decision maker (Chairman and Chief Executive Officer) evaluates performance and utilizes gross profit as a profitability measure, the Company reports its activities in
| ● | Asset Management Solutions — comprised of activities to extract value from strategic asset acquisitions through leasing, trading, or disassembling for product sales. |
| ● | TechOps — comprised of MRO activities and product sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products. |
The Asset Management Solutions segment activities include monetization of assets through the lease or sale of whole assets, or through disassembly activities in support of our USM-related activities. Our monetizing services have been developed to maximize returns on mid-life Flight Equipment throughout their operating life, in conjunction with realizing the highest residual value of Flight Equipment at its retirement.
The TechOps segment consists of aviation maintenance and services business that provide maintenance support for aircraft and aircraft components, and sale of engineered solutions. Our MRO business also engages in longer term projects such as aircraft modifications, cargo conversions of wide-body aircraft, and aircraft storage. The segment also includes MRO of landing gear, thrust reversers, and other components. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product, direct labor, and overhead. Our engineered solutions revenue consists of sales of products internally developed as permitted by Supplemental Type Certificates issued by the FAA. These products are proprietary in nature and function
14
as non-original equipment manufacturer solutions for operators to airworthiness directives and other technical challenges. In order to develop these products, the Company engages in research and development activities, which are expensed as incurred. The TechOps segment also engages in the repair and sale of USM inventory for which it has the overhaul capabilities and relationships to sell.
Gross profit is calculated by subtracting cost of sales from revenue. The assets and certain expenses related to corporate activities are not allocated to the segments. Our reportable segments are aligned principally around the differences in products and services. The segment reporting excludes the allocation of selling, general and administrative expenses, other interest income/expense, and income tax expense/benefit.
Selected financial information for each segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 is as follows (in thousands):

For the restricted stock unit awards granted under the 2020 Plan containing both service and performance conditions, the Company recognizes compensation expense when the awards are considered probable of vesting. Restricted stock units are considered granted, and the service inception date begins, when a mutual understanding of the key terms and conditions between the Company and the employee have been established. The fair value of restricted stock units is determined based on the closing price of the shares on the grant date.
The probability of vesting of restricted share awards granted with future performance conditions is evaluated at each reporting period and compensation expense is adjusted based on the probability assessment.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s restricted stock units included
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not recognize share-based compensation expense for the performance-based awards given that the achievement of the performance milestones have been deemed not probable for accounting purposes.

Under the 2020 Plan, the fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. When determining expected volatility, the Company considers the historical volatility of the Company’s stock price, or benchmark companies when the option exercise period exceeds period for which stock data is available for the Company. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant, based on the options’ expected term. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options granted in 2024 are as follows:

ITEM 2 MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis provides information that our management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. You should read the following management’s discussion and analysis and the accompanying financial statements and related notes together with AerSale’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (the “2023 Form 10-K”). This discussion contains forward-looking statements about AerSale’s business, operations and industry that involve risks and uncertainties, such as statements regarding AerSale’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. AerSale’s future results and financial condition may differ materially from those currently anticipated because of the factors described in the section titled “Risk Factors” in the 2023 Form 10-K.
The Company
We operate as a platform for serving the commercial aviation aftermarket sector. Our top executives have on average over 30 years of experience in aircraft and engine (“Flight Equipment”) management, sales and maintenance services, and are supported by an experienced management team. We have established a global purpose built and fully integrated aviation company focused on providing products and services that maximize the value of Flight Equipment in the middle to end of its operating life cycle.
We are a worldwide provider of aftermarket commercial aircraft, engines, and their parts to passenger and cargo airlines, leasing companies, original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), government and defense contractors, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) service providers. We report our activities in two business segments: Asset Management Solutions, comprised of activities that extract value from strategic Flight Equipment acquisitions either as whole assets or by disassembling for used serviceable material (“USM”), and TechOps, comprised of MRO activities for aircraft and their components, and sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products.
Our Asset Management Solutions segment focuses on mid-life Flight Equipment. Asset Management Solutions’ activities include monetization of assets through the lease or sale of whole assets, or through disassembly activities in support of our USM-related activities. Our monetizing services have been developed to maximize returns on mid-life Flight Equipment throughout their operating life, in conjunction with realizing the highest residual value of Flight Equipment at its retirement. We accomplish this by utilizing deep market and technical knowledge related to the management of Flight Equipment sales, leasing and MRO services. To extract value from the remaining flight time on whole assets, we provide flexible short-term (generally less than five years) leasing solutions of Flight Equipment to passenger and cargo operators across the globe. Once the value from the Flight Equipment’s flight time has been extracted, Flight Equipment is considered to be at or near the end of its useful life and is analyzed for return maximization as either whole asset sales or disassembled for sale as USM parts. Revenue from this segment is segregated between Aircraft and Engine depending on the asset type that generated the revenue. Lease revenue and the related depreciation from aircraft and engines installed on those aircraft are recognized under the Aircraft category. Revenue from sales of whole aircraft and related cost of sales are allocated between the Aircraft and Engine categories based on the allocated cost basis of the asset sold.
Our TechOps segment provides internal and third-party aviation services, including internally developed engineered solutions, full heavy aircraft maintenance and modification, component MRO, as well as end-of-life disassembly services to all Flight Equipment. Our MRO business also engages in longer-term projects such as aircraft modifications, cargo and tanker conversions of aircraft, and aircraft storage. The TechOps segment also includes MRO services for landing gear, thrust reversers, hydraulic systems, and other aircraft components.
We utilize these capabilities to support our customers’ Flight Equipment, as well as to maintain and improve our own Flight Equipment, which is subsequently sold or leased to our customers. These processes require a high degree of expertise on each individual aircraft or component that is being serviced. Our knowledge of these processes allows us to assist customers to comply with applicable regulatory and OEM requirements. A significant amount of skilled labor is required to support this process, which the Company has accumulated through its diversified offerings.
19
In addition to our aircraft and USM parts offerings, we develop Engineered Solutions consisting of Supplemental Type Certificates (“STCs”) that can be installed on existing Flight Equipment to improve performance, comply with regulatory requirements, or improve safety. An example of these solutions is the AerSafe® product line, which we designed and for which we obtained Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) approval to sell as a solution for compliance with the FAA’s fuel tank flammability regulations. Another example of these solutions is our AerAware™ product, an industry-leading, next generation Enhanced Flight Vision System (“EFVS”) that has recently received approval by the FAA for the Boeing B737NG product line. These products are proprietary in nature and function as non-OEM solutions to regulatory requirements and other technical challenges, often at reduced delivery time and cost for operators. In order to develop these products, we engage in research and development activities that are expensed as incurred.

The most recently adopted and to be adopted accounting pronouncements are described in Note B of our condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report, as well as in, Note B within our consolidated annual financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of the 2023 Form 10-K.

Total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2024 decreased $9.8 million or 10.6% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven by an decrease of $14.6 million, or 22.5%, in revenues within Asset Management Solutions, offset by an increase of $4.8 million, or 17.6%, in revenues within TechOps.
20
Asset Management Solutions
Sales in the Asset Management Solutions segment decreased $14.6 million or 22.5%, to $50.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, due to $11.9 million, or 57.2%, decrease in revenue from Aircraft and a $2.7 million, or 6.1%, decrease in revenue from Engines. The decrease in Aircraft revenue is a result of lower Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $12.7 million due to the timing and availability of assets, primarily attributable to decreased activity in the B757 product line, offset by higher USM sales. The decrease in Engines revenue is primarily attributable to lower activity across most product lines due to lower Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $9.5 million.
Cost of sales in Asset Management Solutions decreased $15.4 million or 33.1%, to $31.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by the sales decrease discussed above. Gross profit in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $0.8 million to $19.3 million, or 4.1%, for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. The gross profit increase is mainly attributable to higher margins on Flight Equipment sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024.
Engines gross profit margin was 39.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, an increase from 26.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023, which was primarily the result of higher margins on Flight Equipment sales and leasing revenues. Aircraft gross profit margins increased to 33.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from 31.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to higher margin contribution from USM sales.
TechOps
Our revenue from TechOps increased by $4.8 million or 17.6%, to $32.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven by higher contributions by component and landing gear repair activities.
Cost of sales in TechOps increased $5.4 million or 24.0%, to $27.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. This was driven by higher revenue discussed above. Gross profit in TechOps decreased $0.5 million, or 11.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023, driven by lower gross profit of $0.7 million on MRO services. Gross profit margin decreased to 13.6% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 18.0% for the prior year period, and was largely attributable to lower margin on MRO services of 11.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 16.8% for the prior year period, driven by lower margin generated on our heavy and component MROs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $3.7 million, or 14.7% to $21.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to lower repair and maintenance and lower payroll related costs.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
We account for our private warrants as a liability at their fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in our results from operations for the period. The fair value of our private warrants is determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. For the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a $0.2 million change in fair value of warrant liability income, compared to a $0.1 million loss in the prior year period.
Interest Expense, Net
Interest expense, net was $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $0.3 million interest expense, net for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in interest expense is primarily driven by higher borrowings under our debt facilities during the current year period to support feedstock acquisitions.
21
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024, was 13.0% compared to 93.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2024, is primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and stock-based compensation. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, offset by the foreign derived intangible income deduction and R&D credits.

Total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased $10.2 million or 4.3% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by an increase of $0.9 million, or 0.6%, in revenues within Asset Management Solutions and an increase of $9.3 million, or 10.4%, in revenues within TechOps.
Asset Management Solutions
Sales in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $0.9 million or 0.6%, to $151.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, due to a $24.4 million, or 26.3%, increase in revenue from Engines; offset by a $23.4 million, or 40.5%, decrease in revenue from Aircraft. The increase in Engines revenue is primarily attributable to increased activity in the CFM56 product line as a result of higher Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $10.5 million
22
and higher USM sales. The decrease in Aircraft revenue is primarily attributable to decreased activity in the B757 product line due to lower Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $21.1 million due to softer demand in the freighter market, and lower leasing revenue of $1.9 million, partially offset by higher USM sales activity.
Cost of sales in Asset Management Solutions decreased $8.4 million, or 8.2%, to $94.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by lower costs on Flight Equipment sales. Gross profit in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $9.3 million to $57.3 million, or 19.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The gross profit increase is mainly attributable to the higher margin generated on Flight Equipment sales for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as noted above.
Aircraft gross profit margin increased to 32.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from 29.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, due to higher margins on Flight Equipment sales. Engine gross profit margin was 39.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, an increase from 33.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was primarily due to changes in the USM product mix, along with higher margins on Flight Equipment sales.
TechOps
Our revenue from TechOps increased by $9.3 million, or 10.4%, to $98.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher MRO product sales.
Cost of sales in TechOps increased $12.5 million, or 18.0%, to $82.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period, driven by the higher revenues discussed above. Gross profit in TechOps decreased $3.2 million, or 15.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, driven by lower profit generated on MRO services. Gross profit margin decreased to 17.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to 22.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, and was largely attributable to lower margins on MRO services of 15.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to 21.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $8.3 million, or 10.7% to $69.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to lower share-based compensation and lower payroll related costs.
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability
We account for our private warrants as a liability at their fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in our results from operations for the period. The fair value of our private warrants is determined using a Black Scholes option pricing model. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a change in fair value of the warrant liability income of $2.3 million, compared to a $1.0 million income in the prior year period.
Interest (Expense) Income, Net
Interest expense, net, was $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.2 million interest income, net, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This was primarily related to interest expense incurred on higher borrowings under our debt facilities during the current year period compared to the prior period related to feedstock and MRO expansion investments to grow our business.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, was 5.2% compared to 59.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the
23
nine months ended September 30, 2024, is primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and stock-based compensation. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to the impact of state income taxes and non-deductible executive compensation, offset by the foreign derived intangible income deduction and R&D credits.
Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2024, we had $9.8 million of cash and cash equivalents. We finance our growth through cash flows generated from operations and borrowings secured by our assets. We had $78.5 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined below) as of September 30, 2024, and we had $93.7 million of availability thereunder. We used cash in operations of $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, primarily for feedstock acquisitions, and used cash in investing activities of $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we entered into a revolving term loan collateralized by our property and equipment (the “Equipment Loan”), and borrowed $8.6 million, which was paid off during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company financed additional equipment purchases of $0.6 million, of which $0.6 million remain outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
We believe our equity base, internally generated funds, and existing availability under our debt facilities are sufficient to maintain our level of operations through the next 12 months. Any projections of future cash needs and cash flows beyond the next twelve months are subject to substantial uncertainty, but we believe our sources of liquidity, as discussed above, will be sufficient to meet our long-term cash requirements. If an event occurs that would affect our ability to meet our capital requirements, our ability to continue to grow our asset base consistent with historical trends could be impaired and our future growth limited to that which can be funded from internally generated capital.
We may, from time to time, purchase our outstanding shares of common stock through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such purchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, legal and regulatory considerations, contractual restrictions and other factors. Purchases, if any, will be funded through our available cash from operations. The amounts involved may be material.
Cash Flows— Nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to nine months ended September 30, 2023
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $26.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash used of $168.1 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash deployed of $141.7 million was primarily due to lower feedstock acquisitions and the timing of advances to vendors during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $11.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash provided of $6.7 million in the same period for 2023. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was driven by purchases of property and equipment in support of TechOps expansion. Cash generated by investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was driven by Flight Equipment sales.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $41.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to cash provided of $17.3 million in the same period for 2023. Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily related to the proceeds from net borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined below). Cash provided by financing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
24
2023 is the result of proceeds from net borrowings under the Equipment Loan, as well as net borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined below).
Debt Obligations and Covenant Compliance
Wells Fargo Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility
Effective July 25, 2023, we amended our revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) to increase our maximum commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement to $180.0 million aggregate amount, expandable to $200.0 million, subject to conditions and the availability of lender commitments and borrowing base limitations, and to extend the maturity date to July 24, 2028, subject to certain conditions.
The maximum amount of such commitments available at any time for borrowings and letters of credit is determined according to a borrowing base calculation equal to the sum of eligible inventory and eligible accounts receivable reduced by the aggregate amount, if any, of trade payables of the loan parties, as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement. Extensions of credit under the Revolving Credit Agreement are available for working capital and general corporate purposes.
As of September 30, 2024, there was $78.5 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement and we had $93.7 million of availability thereunder. We were in compliance with our debt covenants for the Revolving Credit Agreement as of September 30, 2024.
Equipment Loan
On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into the Equipment Loan with a total advance commitment of $10.0 million for the purpose of financing capital expenditures on property and equipment. This facility became a term loan during quarter ended June 30, 2024, with a maturity date of June 26, 2027. The Equipment Loan is collateralized by the property and equipment it finances and requires interest only payment until converted to a term loan, at which point, principal and interest payments will be required.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company repaid $8.6 million outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2023, and borrowed $0.6 million, of which $0.6 million remained outstanding as of September 30, 2024.
We were in compliance with our debt covenants for the Equipment Loan as of September 30, 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations
We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2024. Refer to Note Q – Leases, within our consolidated financial statements in our 2023 Form 10-K for a listing of our non-cancelable contractual obligations under operating leases.
The Company has entered into a purchase commitment with Universal Avionics valued at $24.5 million for the acquisition of technical equipment for manufacturing our AerAwareTM product. The commitment is expected to be satisfied by the second quarter of 2025.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. A summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the
25
2023 Form 10-K. We continually review these policies and estimates and their underlying assumptions to ensure they are appropriate for the circumstances. Changes in the estimates and assumptions we use could have a material impact on our financial results.
Goodwill
In the first quarter of 2024, the Company identified a triggering event indicating the fair value of one or more of the Company’s reporting units more likely than not did not exceed their carrying values. The triggering event was due to the significant decline in the market price of the Company’s common stock during the quarter. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units as of March 31, 2024, and determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values for each reporting unit. Due to the lack of recovery in the stock price during the second and third quarters of 2024, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units again as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024, and determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values for each reporting unit. As such, the interim quantitative tests did not result in a goodwill impairment for the Company’s reporting units.
As part of our quantitative assessment as of September 30, 2024, we noted that our fair value estimates of the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units exceeded their carrying value by a small margin, which indicates a higher potential risk of goodwill impairment in the future; especially if these reporting units are unable to achieve projected performance metrics. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of goodwill in the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units amounted to $13.4 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
The fair value determination of the Company’s reporting units and goodwill is judgmental in nature and requires the use of estimates and assumptions that are sensitive to changes. Such estimates include revenue growth rates, profit margins, and discount rates which consider the risk-free rate as well as company and market specific risk premiums. Revenue estimates for the Asset Management Solutions reporting unit are dependent on our ability to monetize existing Flight Equipment and meet our feedstock acquisition targets. Revenue estimates for the ACT reporting unit consider benefits derived from our facility expansion and certain synergies within the organization. While the Company believes it has made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair values of the reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the quantitative goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of future results.
ITEM 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
In the normal course of business, we are subject to market risks. Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact our financial position due to adverse changes in financial market prices and sales. Our exposure to market risk includes fluctuating interest rates and changes in foreign exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to the risk that our earnings and cash flows could be adversely impacted by fluctuations in interest rates associated with borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement and the Equipment Loan, which have variable interest rates tied to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. As of September 30, 2024, we had $78.5 million outstanding variable rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement. A ten percent increase in the average interest rate affecting our variable rate debt outstanding as of September 30, 2024 would increase our annual interest expense by $0.6 million
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
We primarily use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency in all markets in which we operate in order to reduce our foreign currency market risk. Only general office expense and payroll transactions for our international locations are denominated in local currency. A hypothetical ten percent devaluation of the U.S. dollar against foreign currencies would
26
not have had a material impact on our financial position or continuing operations as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
ITEM 4 CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls and Procedures
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. In addition, the design of disclosure controls and procedures must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and that management is required to apply judgment in evaluating the benefits of possible controls and procedures relative to their costs.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), as of September 30, 2024.
Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1 LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
The Company could be involved in litigation incidental to the operation of the business. The Company intends to vigorously defend all matters in which the Company is named defendants, and, for insurable losses, maintain adequate levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect the Company. Although the adequacy of exiting insurance coverage and the outcome of any legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty, based on the current information available, the Company does not believe the ultimate liability associated with known claims or litigations, if any, in which the Company is involved will materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
