Coral Gables, **** Florida – August 8 , **** 2023 - **** AerSale Corporation (Nasdaq: ASLE) (the “Company”) today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023. The Company’s revenue for the second quarter of 2023 was $69.3 million compared to $139.6 million in the second quarter of 2022. Revenue for the second quarter of 2023 included $13.3 million of flight equipment sales compared to $92.5 million of flight equipment sales in the prior-year period. Flight equipment sales in the second quarter of 2023 consisted of only four engines and no aircraft compared to three engines and three aircraft in the second quarter of 2022, which included two AerSale converted Boeing 757 freighter aircraft and a Boeing 747 Freighter. The decline in sales was primarily the result of the pacing of flight equipment sales, which tend to occur at irregular intervals throughout the year as evidenced by these fluctuations, which led to record first and second quarters in 2022. As a reminder to investors, the Company’s revenues are likely to fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year based on flight equipment sales and therefore, progress should be monitored based on asset purchases and related sales.

GAAP net loss was $2.7 million in the second quarter of 2023, compared to GAAP net income of $26.5 million in the prior year period. AerSale recognized a mark-to-market adjustment income of $1.4 million related to the private warrant liability, $3.0 million of stock-based compensation expenses within payroll expenses, $0.3 million in facility relocation costs, and $0.3 million of secondary issuance costs during the second quarter of 2023. In the second quarter of 2022, the mark-to-market adjustment income related to the private warrant liability was $1.4 million and stock-based compensation expenses were $3.9 million. Excluding these non-cash and unusual items adjusted for tax, Adjusted Net Loss was $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 compared to Adjusted Net Income of $31.7 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Diluted loss per share was $0.08 for the second quarter of 2023 and diluted earnings per share was $0.47 in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted for the non-cash and unusual items noted above, adjusted diluted loss per share was $0.03 for the second quarter of 2023 compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.56 in the second quarter of 2022.

^1^ Adjusted net loss, 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 and a detailed reconciliation of these measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

^2^ A reconciliation of non-GAAP adjusted EBITDA guidance to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measure, has not been provided due to the lack of predictability regarding the various reconciling items such as the provision for income taxes and depreciation and amortization, which are expected to have a material impact on these measures and cannot be reasonably predicted without unreasonable efforts.

Nicolas Finazzo, AerSale’s Chief Executive Officer, commented, “As noted in our first quarter report, second quarter volume was meaningfully lower than the second quarter of 2022. This is entirely the result of fewer flight equipment sales, which fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Commercial demand was strong during the period and our core business has continued to grow with greater demand for used serviceable material (“USM”) and our maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) offerings.”

Finazzo added, “We are reducing full-year expectations for our 757 program, as the freight market has softened in response to higher interest rates and tightening economic conditions, which have eased demand for consumer products. This adds some uncertainty to the timing and type of monetization of these assets, as we deploy this feedstock to the highest potential rate of return using our multi-dimensional value extraction model, which includes flight equipment sales, lease, and USM.

Looking forward, we anticipate the second quarter to be the trough quarter as we begin to see the benefits of the robust feedstock already purchased or in the pipeline exceeding $200 million year-to-date, the monetization of post-conversion 757s, and the FAA Supplemental Type Certification (“STC”) of AerAware, our Enhanced Flight Vision System for the Boeing 737NG series of aircraft.”

Asset Management Solutions (“Asset Management") revenue decreased to $37.1 million during the second quarter of 2023 compared to $114.5 million in the second quarter of 2022, because of the pacing of flight equipment sales mentioned above. USM revenue was up from the year-ago quarter fueled by growth in demand and availability of feedstock, while leasing revenue fell due to the planned reduction of the aircraft leasing portfolio.

TechOps revenue increased 28.7% to $32.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 from $25.1 million in the second quarter of 2022 primarily owing to growth in revenue generated by AerSale’s Goodyear, Arizona on-airport MRO facility from additional capacity dedicated to customer aircraft, as well as higher revenue from component MROs.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2023 was $(0.5) million compared to $41.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decline in adjusted EBITDA is largely attributable to lower flight equipment sales, and no aircraft sales during the period. Please see the non-GAAP reconciliation table at the end of this press release for additional details on adjusted EBITDA.

Cash used in operating activities was $129.2 million as a result of increased investments in feedstock that should drive earnings growth in the second half of 2023. AerSale ended the quarter with $34.6 million in cash and has an undrawn revolving credit facility which was recently renewed for a five-year term, upsized to $180 million and expandable to $200 million.

Update on AerAware

AerSale is in the final stage of the FAA’s certification of AerAware, which involves the completion of five sets of flight tests. Flight testing began in February, and AerSale has passed four of the five sets. The fifth set of flight tests is to demonstrate the reliability of the system. During the first four sets, the FAA proposed several adjustments and enhancements to the system, which the Company has now successfully incorporated. This demonstration has been tentatively scheduled for the week commencing August 14th or August 21st, subject to final paperwork and weather, with the fifth set of flight tests to begin immediately thereafter. The final set of flight testing is expected to be completed in approximately one week, and upon successful completion, it is typical to receive an STC within 30 days.

Second Quarter 2023 Results **** of **** Operations

AerSale reported revenue of $69.3 million in the second quarter of 2023, which included $13.3 million of flight equipment sales comprising of only four engines and no aircraft. The Company’s revenue for the second quarter of 2022 was $139.6 million and included $92.5 million of flight equipment sales consisting of three aircraft and three engines, which included two AerSale converted Boeing 757 freighter aircraft and a Boeing 747 freighter. Investors should note that the first quarter of 2022 had also experienced record flight equipment sales of $75.9 million. Flight equipment sales may significantly vary quarter-to-quarter and AerSale believes the full-year analysis, rather than year-over-year quarterly comparisons, is a more appropriate measurement of the

Company’s progress.

Asset Management revenue decreased 67.6% to $37.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 resulting from the reduction in flight equipment sales. USM parts sales grew from the year-ago quarter driven by expanding demand and availability of feedstock, which was offset by no revenue from aircraft leasing.

TechOps revenue improved 28.7% to $32.3 million in the second quarter of 2023 from $25.1 million in the year-ago period. The TechOps business benefited from additional capacity dedicated to customer aircraft at the Company’s Goodyear on-airport MRO facility along with growth in component MROs. As previously mentioned, AerSale sub-contracted third-party providers at the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2022 to perform 12 757 P2F conversions initially planned to be completed at its Goodyear facility, enabling the Company to increase capacity for third-party services.

Gross margin was 29.1% in the second quarter of 2023 compared to 39.4% in the year ago period, which was mainly the outcome of the sales mix that consisted of fewer high-margin flight equipment sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $27.1 million in the second quarter of 2023 versus $23.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. AerSale incurred $3.0 million of stock-based compensation expenses in the second quarter of 2023 versus $3.9 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Loss from operations was $7.0 million in the second quarter of 2023 and income from operations was $31.5 million in the second quarter of 2022.

Income tax benefit was $2.4 million in the second quarter of 2023 and income tax expense was $6.3 million in the second quarter of 2022.

GAAP net loss for the second quarter of 2023 was $2.7 million, compared to GAAP net income of $26.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted for stock-based compensation, mark-to-market adjustment to the private warrant liability, facility relocation costs, and secondary issuance costs, Adjusted Net Loss was $0.6 million in the second quarter of 2023 while Adjusted Net Income was $31.7 million in the second quarter of 2022. Diluted loss per share was $0.08 for the second quarter of 2023 and diluted earnings per share was $0.47 in the second quarter of 2022. Adjusted for the above-mentioned non-cash and unusual items, diluted loss per share was $0.03 for the second quarter of 2023 while diluted earnings per share was $0.56 in the second quarter of 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA in the second quarter of 2023 was $(0.5) million, compared to $41.1 million in the second quarter of 2022. The decrease in adjusted EBITDA resulted from fewer high-margin flight equipment sales.

Martin Garmendia, AerSale’s Chief Financial Officer, said: “As we had pointed out during our last earnings call, second quarter 2023 results were meaningfully impacted by fluctuations in high margin flight equipment sales. The second quarter of 2022 included $92.5 million of such higher margin flight equipment sales while the second quarter of 2023 included only $13.3 million. Looking ahead, we have reduced guidance to reflect soft demand in the freight market that is impacting the 757 P2F conversion program. Notwithstanding these short-term market dynamics, we believe the long-term underlying fundamentals of our business remain robust.”

Updated 2023 Guidance

AerSale now expects to generate revenue of $400 - $440 million and adjusted EBITDA of $40 - $55 million in 2023. This updated guidance takes into account soft demand in the freight market that is anticipated to extend the sales cycle of AerSale’s converted 757s as previously estimated by the Company. This reduced guidance for 2023 does not reflect potential sales of AerAware as the product is in its final stages of FAA approval.

Conference **** Call **** Information

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, 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, stock-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 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 condensed consolidated 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.

Forward Looking Statements

This press release includes “forward-looking statements”.  We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  All statements other than statements of historical facts contained in this press release may constitute forward-looking statements, and include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our anticipated financial performance, including all statements set forth in the “Updated 2023 Guidance” section above such as expectations of revenue in the range of $400 - $440 million and adjusted EBITDA in the range of $40 - $55 million; our expectations that up to twelve additional aircraft will be converted to freighters by third parties;  the anticipation that the 757 P2F conversion program is expected to be a strong contributor to the Company; anticipations regarding an increasingly favorable market for feedstock availability within AerSale’s USM business and greater demand for USM parts; expectations regarding feedstock, and our belief that we are well positioned to take advantage of the current market dynamic; our belief that we are well positioned to take advantage of asset availability; our growth trajectory; the expected operating capacity of our MRO facilities and demand for such services; expectations of increased capacity for third party work and revenue at our Goodyear, Arizona facility; the anticipated receipt and typical timeline of receipt from the FAA of an STC for our AerAware product; expectation that AerAware is a technology that will be broadly adopted and that sales of AerAware will be a meaningful contributor to long-term performance; and expected benefits from an improving backdrop in commercial aerospace, and end markets; AerSale’s actual results may differ from their expectations, estimates and projections and consequently, you should not rely on these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Words such as “expect,” “estimate,” “project,” “budget,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “believes,” “predicts,” “potential,” “continue,” or the negative of these or other similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements in this press release are only predictions. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and financial trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties described in the Risk Factors, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), and its other filings with the SEC, including its subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Moreover, we operate in an evolving environment. New risk factors and uncertainties may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for management to predict all risk factors and uncertainties.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Readers are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements and we qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements. Except as required by applicable law, we do not plan to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of any new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise.
