AERSALE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

MARCH 31, 2025

NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS

Organization

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” or “we”), 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 Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (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”).

NOTE B — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed 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 (“SEC”), which permits reduced disclosures for interim periods. Although these interim condensed 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, 2024 (the “2024 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

Revenue from sales of USM is 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

Revenue from whole asset sales is 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 result in 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 existing maintenance deposit payments and other 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

Revenue for services is 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 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes Topic 740: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”), which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The amendments in ASU 2023-09 were adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2025. The Company’s results of operations, cash flows, and financial condition were not impacted by the adoption of this ASU.

New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires public entities to disclose, in a tabular presentation, the following expense items: (1) purchases of inventory, (2) employee compensation, (3) depreciation, (4) intangible asset amortization, (5) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil- and gas-producing activities or other types of depletion expenses, as well as other types of expenses when applicable. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosure.

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):

Line itemMarch 31, 2025December 31, 2024Change
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 million as of December 31, 2024, of which million was related to contract liabilities for services to be performed. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized as revenue $0.6 million of contract liabilities included in the deferred revenue beginning balance for services performed as the timing between customer payments and our performance of the services is generally no longer than six months.

The Company recorded inventory scrap loss reserves of $0.8 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Additions to inventory reserves are included in cost of products in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Our allocation of inventory between short term and long term reflects the inventory’s operating cycle, which is longer than one year due to teardown and repair lead times. Inventory expected to be monetized within 18 months, along with work-in-process and inventory used in MRO activities, is reported under current assets.

In April 2024, one of the Company’s leased secondary parts warehouses in Roswell, New Mexico, was destroyed by a fire. Inside the warehouse were various aircraft parts typically sold by the Company as USM. The Company carries insurance covering these parts, with a limit of $100 million and $10,000 deductible. The Company filed a claim for the replacement value of the inventory that was destroyed or rendered not sellable by the fire in the amount of million.

The cost basis of the destroyed inventory was million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has collected approximately million from insurance companies in connection with this claim, of which million was collected during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The recognition of any gain on insurance proceeds exceeding the related loss has been deferred until the claim is fully settled with the insurers. The deferred gain in the amount of million as of March 31, 2025 is presented under deferred insurance proceeds in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

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 its 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 are related to its acquired 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” or “AerSale AeroStructures – Miami”), which are included in the TechOps segment, as well as Qwest Air Parts (“Qwest”), which is included under the Asset Management Solutions segment.

NOTE I – WARRANT LIABILITY

Warrants to purchase a total of shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. 750,000 warrants were issued to founders in a private placement (the “Private Warrants”). Each of the Private Warrants entitles the registered holder to purchase one share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The outstanding Private Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2025, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

Risk-free interest rate3.96%4.38%
Expected volatility of common stock42.71%41.71%

The significant assumptions utilized in the Black-Scholes calculation consist of interest rate for U.S. Treasury Bonds, as published by the U.S. Federal Reserve, and expected volatility estimated using historical daily volatility of guideline public companies.

NOTE J – FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Total long-term portion

Total deferred financing costs were million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Amortized debt issuance costs are recorded in interest expense through maturity of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization expense amounted to million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

$180.0 million Wells Fargo Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement

On July 20, 2018, AerSale, Inc. and other subsidiary borrowers thereto entered in a secured amended and restated revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement provides for a $180.0 million aggregate amount of revolver commitments subject to borrowing base limitations and is expandable to $200.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations. The Revolving Credit Agreement matures on July 24, 2028.

The interest rate applicable to loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Agreement is a floating rate of interest per annum of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 2.5%. The interest rate as of March 31, 2025 was 7.24%. Interest expense on the Revolving Credit Agreement was $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

The Company’s ability to borrow on the Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance by the Company and the borrowers with various customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Revolving Credit Agreement requires the Company and borrowers to meet certain financial and nonfinancial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

$10.0 million CIBC Property and Equipment Revolving Term Loan

On November 22, 2024, the Company entered into a property and equipment revolving term loan (the “CIBC Equipment Loan”) with a total advance commitment of $10.0 million for the purpose of financing capital expenditures on property and equipment. Advances made by the lender are convertible into term loans at the option of the lender at a rate of SOFR plus 3.0% and have a maturity date of thirty-six (36) months from the term loan conversion date. Advances under this loan are collateralized by the property and equipment it finances and require interest only payment until converted to a term loan, at which point, principal and interest payments are required. As of December 31, 2024, borrowings under this facility were converted to a term loan maturing on December 23, 2027. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company borrowed an additional $0.2 million under this facility, which has not been converted to a term loan as of March 31, 2025.

The CIBC Equipment Loan is subject to ongoing compliance by the Company in the form of various customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as certain financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of March 31, 2025.

NOTE L — BUSINESS SEGMENTS

Our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer is our Chief Operating and Decision Maker (“CODM”). We report operational data to our CODM at the segment level, which the CODM uses to evaluate performance and allocate resources based on gross profit and income (loss) from operations by segment. While the Company believes there are synergies between the business segments, they are managed separately because they have different risks and opportunities. The reportable segments are:

  • 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 provides leasing solutions of Flight Equipment to passenger and cargo operators worldwide. Assets considered to be at or near the end of their useful lives, supplied by our leasing portfolio or acquisitions, are analyzed for return maximization to assess whether they will be sold as whole assets or disassembled and sold as individual spare parts and components.

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, aircraft cargo conversions, 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 consist of sales of products internally developed as permitted by Supplemental Type Certificates issued by the FAA. These products are proprietary in nature and function as non-original equipment manufacturer solutions to airworthiness directives and other technical challenges. In order to develop these products, we engage in research and development activities. Our TechOps division will engage in the repair and sale of used serviceable materials through its ability to overhaul existing inventory.

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in Note B. Our reportable segments are aligned principally around the differences in products and services. Gross Profit is calculated by subtracting cost of sales from revenue; income (loss) from operations is calculated by subtracting unapplied operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. The assets and certain expenses related to corporate activities are not allocated to the segments. The segment reporting excludes the allocation of interest expense, interest income, other income (expense), net, change in fair value of warrant liability and income tax expense (benefit).

NOTE M — STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company’s common stock, par value, consists of authorized shares, of which and shares were issued and outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.

On March 18, 2025, the Company repurchased, directly from a selling stockholder, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value per share, at a price of per share for total consideration of million. The purchased shares were immediately retired.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company maintains a 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and has 6,200,000 shares of common stock issuable under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan authorizes discretionary grants of incentive stock options to employees of the Company and its qualifying subsidiaries. The 2020 Plan also authorizes discretionary grants of non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, dividend equivalents or other equity or cash-based awards to employees and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and to members of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company. To the extent that an award under the 2020 Plan expires, is cancelled, forfeited, terminated, settled in cash or is otherwise settled without issuance of the full number of shares to which it relates, those shares will become or again be available for awards under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. The Compensation Committee has complete, full and final authority to: designate participants; determine the types of awards to be granted; determine the terms of awards; and interpret and administer the 2020 Plan and any agreements and awards thereunder.

Restricted stock unit activity under the 2020 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was as follows:

Vested(65,442)15.50
Outstanding March 31, 2024444,530$14.71

As of March 31, 2025, the unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock units was $1.9 million. The Company expects to recognize these costs over a weighted average period of 1.3 years.

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 these awards is determined based on the closing price of the shares on the grant date. The probability of restricted share awards granted

with future performance conditions vesting is evaluated at each reporting period and compensation expense is adjusted based on the probability assessment.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s restricted stock units included 715,706 performance-based awards that have vesting provisions subject to both time vesting and the achievement of certain performance milestones at 100% and 200% vesting targets. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 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.

The share-based compensation expense related to Restricted Stock Units was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the 2020 Plan have exercise terms of 10 years and vest in equal installments of one-third of the total number of options granted on each of the first three anniversaries from the grant date beginning one year after the date of grant, and are assigned an exercise price equal to the closing stock price on the day prior to the date of grant. Options are expensed on a straight-line basis over the grant vesting period, which is considered to be the requisite service period. In order for the options to vest, the employee must be in the continuous employment of the Company since the date of the grant. Except for qualifying retirement after the nine-month anniversary of the grant date, any portion of the grant that has not vested will be forfeited upon termination of employment.

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.

Stock options activity under the 2020 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was as follows:

Line itemAmountWeighted Average Exercise Price per ShareWeighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years)Aggregate Intrinsic Value(in thousands)

Outstanding at March 31, 20259.19
Exercisable at March 31, 20259.19

As of March 31, 2025, the unrecognized compensation costs related to stock options was million. The Company expects to recognize those costs over a weighted average period of 1.6 years.

The share-based compensation expense related to stock options was million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company also maintains the AerSale Corporation 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and has registered 500,000 shares of common stock issuable under the ESPP. No shares were issued during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

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 with AerSale’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “2024 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 2024 Form 10-K and in any of AerSale’s subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Events relating to the possibility of customer demand fluctuations, supply chain constraints, continuing inflationary pressures, the effects of foreign currency fluctuations and high interest rates, geopolitical uncertainties including continuing hostilities and tensions, trade restrictions and sanctions, tariffs and retaliatory countermeasures. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, actual outcomes, including the future results of AerSale’s operations, may vary materially from those indicated.

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, sales of internally developed advanced technical repairs, modifications and products, which we market under the tradename “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.

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 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 (“R&D”) that are expensed as incurred.

Although we are not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require updates to our estimates or judgments, disruption in the global economy and financial markets, geopolitical instability, and government actions related to trade policies, tariffs and immigration continue to create uncertainty. We source parts and components for our business from various suppliers around the world. Current geopolitical conditions, including trade restrictive actions and strained intercountry relations, could cause significant materials and parts shortages, as well as delivery delays, labor shortages, distribution issues, energy cost increases and price increases. Furthermore, the U.S. government’s adoption of new approaches to trade policy and imposition of tariffs on certain foreign goods (as well as the possibility of imposing significant, additional tariffs in the future) may make it more difficult or costly for us to procure components and other material supplies and, in turn, may increase the cost to our customers, which may materially and adversely impact demand for our products and services, our results of operations or our financial condition. We continue to monitor the current economic environment and its potential impact on our business, results of operations or financial condition, as well as potential impact on our end customers whose demand for our products and services may be adversely impacted as a result of changes in policies by the U.S. or other governments, and closely manage our costs and capital resources so that we can respond appropriately as circumstances change. Our estimates may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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 2024 Form 10-K.

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased $24.8 million, or 27.4%, compared to the same period in 2024, driven by a decrease of $20.0 million, or 33.8%, within Asset Management Solutions, and a decrease of $4.7 million, or 15.1%, within TechOps.

Asset Management Solutions

Sales in the Asset Management Solutions segment decreased $20.0 million, or 33.8%, to $39.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, due to a $11.1 million, or 25.8%, decrease in revenue from Engine, and a $9.0 million, or 55.0%, decrease in revenue from Aircraft. The decrease in Engine revenue is due to lower Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $25.7 million primarily attributable to lower activity in the CFM56 and V2500 product lines, partly offset by higher USM sales in the amount of $11.3 million, and higher leasing revenue in the amount of $3.8 million. The decrease in Aircraft revenue is primarily attributable to reduced activity in the B737 product line as a result of lower Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $11.2 million, as well as lower USM sales.

Cost of sales in Asset Management Solutions decreased $9.4 million, or 25.8%, to $27.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year period. The decrease in cost of sales was primarily driven by the decrease in Flight Equipment sales discussed above. Gross profit in the Asset Management Solutions segment decreased $10.6 million to $12.0 million, or 46.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The gross profit decrease is mainly attributable to lower revenue generated for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as noted above.

Aircraft gross profit margins decreased to 21.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from 29.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 due to higher margins generated on the prior period Flight Equipment sales with margins generated on USM sales remaining consistent. Engine gross profit margin was 32.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, a decrease from 41.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, which was primarily the result of changes to the product mix and lower margins on USM sales.

TechOps

Our revenue from TechOps decreased by $4.7 million, or 15.1%, to $26.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year period. The decrease is driven by lower sales volume in our Goodyear, Arizona facility and a focus on higher margin work at our Roswell, New Mexico facility. This was partially offset by higher revenues from the Company's component MROs.

Cost of sales in TechOps decreased $4.5 million, or 17.9%, to $20.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the prior year period, driven by the sales decrease discussed above. Gross profit in TechOps decreased $0.2 million, or 3.7%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, driven by lower gross profit of $1.0 million on MRO services. Gross profit margin increased to 22.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 19.6% for the prior year period, and was largely attributable to higher margin on Product Sales of 35.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to 22.6% for the prior year period, driven by higher demand for AerSafe products.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 2.0%, to $24.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year period. The increase was mostly related to higher share-based compensation, partly offset by lower payroll costs as cost reduction initiatives have offset increases from inflation and cost of living adjustments.

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 March 31, 2025, we recorded a $0.1 million change in fair value of warrant liability expense, compared to a $2.0 million income in the prior year period.

Interest Expense, Net

Interest expense was $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $0.9 million interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2024. This was primarily related to higher outstanding borrowings under our debt facilities.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 12.0% compared to (6.8%) for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 is primarily due to the benefit of the foreign derived intangible income deduction and R&D credits. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, is primarily due to the benefit of the foreign derived intangible income deduction and R&D credits.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2025, we had $4.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. We finance our growth through cash flows generated from operations and borrowings secured by our assets. We had $133.1 million outstanding under the

Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined below) as of March 31, 2025, and we had $44.2 million of availability thereunder. We used cash in operations of $45.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and used cash in investing activities of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

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 twelve 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, including events beyond our control such as a potential tightening of debt capital markets, including in response to the implementation of new tariffs as part of the U.S. trade policy and any reciprocal or retaliatory tariffs thereto, 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.

On March 18, 2025, the Company repurchased, directly from a selling stockholder, 6,428,571 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $7.00 per share for total consideration of $45.0 million.

Cash Flows— Three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to three months ended March 31, 2024

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $45.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to cash used of $21.5 million for the same period in 2024. The increase in cash used in operating activities of $23.7 million was primarily due to higher feedstock acquisitions of $15.7 million and lower results from operations.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to cash provided of $0.2 million in the same period for 2024. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, was driven by purchases of property and equipment. Cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024, was driven by the sale of Flight Equipment, partly offset by purchases of property and equipment.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $48.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to cash provided of $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025, resulted from borrowing under our Revolving Credit Agreement, offset by cash used in the repurchase of common stock. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 resulted from borrowing under our Revolving Credit Agreement.

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 March 31, 2025, there was $133.1 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement and we had $44.2 million of availability thereunder. We were in compliance with our debt covenants for the Revolving Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025.

CIBC Equipment Loan

On November 22, 2024, the Company entered into the CIBC Equipment Loan with a total advance commitment of $10.0 million for the purpose of financing capital expenditures on property and equipment. Advances made by the lender are convertible into term loans at the option of the lender at a rate of SOFR plus 3.0% and have a maturity date of thirty-six (36) months from the term loan conversion date. Advances under this loan are collateralized by the property and equipment it finances and require interest only payment until converted to a term loan, at which point, principal and interest payments are required.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company borrowed $0.2 million, which has not been converted to a term loan as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, $1.9 million remained outstanding under this facility.

We were in compliance with our debt covenants for the CIBC Equipment Loan as of March 31, 2025.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of March 31, 2025. Refer to Note Q – Leases, within our consolidated annual financial statements in our 2024 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, a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, valued at $19.8 million for the acquisition of technical equipment for manufacturing our AerAwareTM product. The commitment is expected to be satisfied in 2026.

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 estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the 2024 Form 10-K. We continually review these 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes in our critical accounting estimates and policies.

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 CIBC Equipment Loan, which have variable interest rates tied to SOFR. As of March 31, 2025, we had $133.1 million outstanding variable rate borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and $1.9 million outstanding variable rate borrowings under the CIBC Equipment Loan. A ten percent increase of the average interest rate affecting our variable rate debt outstanding as of March 31, 2025 would increase our annual interest expense by $0.5 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 not have had a material impact on our financial position or continuing operations as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

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, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of March 31, 2025.

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 March 31, 2025.

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) during the quarter ended March 31, 2025 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

From time to time, the Company is subject to litigation incidental to the operation of the business. The Company intends to vigorously defend all matters in which the Company is named as a defendant, and, for insurable losses, maintain significant levels of insurance to protect against adverse judgments, claims or assessments that may affect the Company.

Although the adequacy of existing insurance coverage of 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 litigation, if any, in which the Company is involved will materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

ITEM 1A RISK FACTORS

There are no material changes in the information reported under Part I – Item 1A “Risk Factors” contained in the 2024 Form 10-K.
