NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

JUNE 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

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

Table of Contents

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 six months ended June 30, 2023, have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six months ended June 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), stockholder’s 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 ASU 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):


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023		Change
Contract assets	$	4,597	$	6,474	$	(1,877)

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 $3.0 million as of December 31, 2023, of which $2.7 million was related to contract liabilities for services to be performed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized as revenue $0.1 million and $2.4 million of contract liabilities included in the beginning balance for services performed as the timing between customer payments and our performance of the services is generally no longer than six months.

NOTE D — INVENTORY

Following are the major classes of inventory as of the below dates (in thousands):


	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023
USM	$	126,807	$	120,053
Work-in-process		25,028		22,270
Whole assets		226,978		186,845
	$	378,813		329,168
Less short term		(221,371)		(177,770)
Long term	$	157,442	$	151,398

The Company recorded inventory scrap loss reserves of $0.4 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded inventory scrap loss reserves of $0.2 million and $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, 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 as well as work-in-process are 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 AerSale as USM. The replacement value of that inventory, which was also destroyed or rendered not sellable by the fire, is estimated at $52.8 million. AerSale carries insurance covering these parts, with a limit of $50 million and a $10,000 deductible, for which it has submitted a claim. The cost of the destroyed inventory is $6.0 million; accordingly, since the insurance claim has yet to be paid, the Company recorded an impairment of $6.0 million and a $6.0 million non-trade receivable within Deposits, prepaid expenses, and other current assets, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2024. The recovery of the $6.0 million claim is deemed to be probable. Pursuant to ASC 450-30, Gain Contingencies, any higher amount than our book value that is to be collected from the insurance claim, will not be recorded until the insurance claim is paid.

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 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.

Total amortization expense amounted to $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Total amortization expense amounted to $1.0 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Accumulated amortization amounted to $10.4 million and $9.3 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

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 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 quarter of 2024, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Asset Management and ACT reporting units as of June 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.

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. 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.

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.

NOTE I – WARRANT LIABILITY

Warrants to purchase a total of 623,834 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. 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 June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:


	June 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
Risk-free interest rate	4.33%	3.84%
Expected volatility of common stock	40.95%	41.66%
Expected option term in years	1.5	2.0

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.

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, total deferred financing costs were $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Amortized debt issuance costs are recorded in interest (expense) income, net through maturity of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Amortization expense amounted to $0.1 and $0.2 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024. Amortization expense amounted to $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023.

$180.0 million Wells Fargo Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement

On July 20, 2018, the Company and other subsidiary borrowers signatory thereto entered into a secured amended and restated revolving credit agreement (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $150.0 million aggregate amount of revolver commitments subject to borrowing base limitations. Effective July 25, 2023, the Company amended the Revolving Credit Agreement to increase the maximum commitments thereunder to $180.0 million aggregate amount, expandable to $200.0 million, subject to borrowing base limitations, and to extend the maturity date to 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 2.75%. The applicable interest rate as of June 30, 2024 was 8.08%.

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 June 30, 2024.

$10.0 million Synovus Property and Equipment Revolving Term Loan

On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a Property and Equipment Revolving Term Loan (the “Equipment Loan”) with a total advance commitment of $10.0 million for the purpose of financing capital expenditures on property and equipment. Once the total advance commitment was reached or commencing on June 30, 2024, whichever came first, this facility would become a term loan with a maturity date of June 30, 2027. This 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.

The Equipment Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month SOFR plus 3.50%, which will be adjusted monthly. The effective rate on this facility as of June 30, 2024 was 7.96%.

The 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 June 30, 2024.

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 two business segments:

●

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.

Table of Contents

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 aftermarket support and services businesses 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 as non-original equipment manufacturer solutions to airworthiness directives and other technical challenges for operators. 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, interest income (expense) and income tax expense.

Common Stock

The Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value, consists of 200,000,000 authorized shares, of which 53,084,214 and 52,954,430 shares were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company maintains a 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and has registered 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; interpret and administer the 2020 Plan and any agreements and awards thereunder.

Restricted stock unit activity under the 2020 Plan for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

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 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 June 30, 2024, the Company’s restricted stock units included 724,248 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 and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company did not recognized 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.

As of June 30, 2023, the Company’s restricted stock units included 1,073,736 performance-based awards that had vesting provisions subject to both time vesting and the achievement of certain performance milestones at 100% and 200% vesting targets. Effective March 31, 2022, the performance-based awards granted in 2021 (the “2021 PSUs”) met the performance metric at the maximum level of 200% with one-third vested on December 22, 2022 and two-thirds vesting on December 22, 2023.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense for the 2021 PSUs of $2.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the 2020 Plan have exercise terms of 10 years and vest in equal instalments 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. The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for options granted in 2024 are as follows:


	Grant Date
	June 7, 2024
Risk-free interest rate		4.42%
Expected volatility of common stock		50.04%
Dividend yield		-
Expected option term in years		6.0
Grant-date fair value (per share)	$	3.73

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 together with the financial statements and related notes including Part II, Item 7 of 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, sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products.

We focus on mid-life Flight Equipment and monetize them through our Asset Management Solutions segment. 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. 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.

Table of Contents

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.

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 Item 8, Note B within our consolidated financial statements in the 2023 Form 10-K.

Table of Contents

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased $7.8 million or 11.2% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by an increase of $4.7 million, or 12.8%, in revenues within Asset Management Solutions, and an increase of $3.0 million, or 9.4%, in revenues within TechOps.

Asset Management Solutions

Sales in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $4.7 million or 12.8%, to $41.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, due to a $7.7 million, or 30.7%, increase in revenue from Engines; offset in part by a $2.9 million, or 24.4%, decrease in revenue from Aircraft. The increase in Engines revenue is primarily attributable to higher activity across most product lines due to higher Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $3.2 million, higher leasing revenue of $1.0 million, and higher USM sales of $3.4 million. The decrease in Aircraft revenue is primarily attributable to decreased activity in the B737, as a result of lower Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $3.2 million due to the timing and availability of assets, as well as lower USM sales due to delays associated with the teardown process.

Cost of sales in Asset Management Solutions increased $0.7 million or 2.8%, to $26.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by the sales increase discussed above. Gross profit in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $4.0 million to $15.4 million, or 35.3%, for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023. The gross profit increase is mainly attributable to higher revenue generated for the three months ended June 30, 2024, as noted above.

Aircraft gross profit margins increased to 37.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, from 14.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 due to higher margin contribution from USM sales. Engines gross profit margin was 36.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease from 38.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, which was primarily the result of lower margins on USM sales and leasing revenues.

TechOps

Our revenue from TechOps increased by $3.0 million or 9.4%, to $35.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The increase was driven in part by higher MRO product sales, as well as higher contributions by component and landing gear repair activities, offset by lower demand for heavy MRO services in our Goodyear, Arizona facility.

Cost of sales in TechOps increased $5.5 million or 23.3%, to $28.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period. This was driven by higher revenue discussed above. Gross profit in TechOps decreased $2.4 million, or 27.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023, driven by lower gross profit of $2.7 million on MRO services. Gross profit margin decreased to 18.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 27.2% for the prior year period, and was largely attributable to lower margin on MRO services of 15.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 25.5% 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 $3.5 million, or 13.0% to $23.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to lower payroll 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 June 30, 2024, we recorded a $0.1 million change in fair value of warrant liability income, compared to a $1.4 million income in the prior year period.

Table of Contents

Interest (Expense) Income, Net

Interest expense, net was $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $0.4 million interest income, net for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily related to interest expense incurred on borrowings under our debt facilities during the current year period, compared to interest earned on our excess cash in the prior year period.

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 was (15.8%) compared to 46.7% for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to the exclusion of the foreign derived intangible income deduction previously assumed. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the three months ended June 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.

Asset Management Solutions

Sales in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $15.6 million or 18.2%, to $101.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to a $27.1 million, or 55.7%, increase in revenue from Engines; offset by a $11.5 million, or 31.1%, decrease in revenue from Aircraft. The increase in Engines revenue is primarily attributable to increased activity in the CFM56 and V2500 product lines as a result of higher Flight Equipment sales in the amount of $19.9 million, 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 $8.9 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 increased $7.0 million, or 12.4%, to $63.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The increase in cost of sales was primarily driven by the sales increase discussed above. Gross profit in the Asset Management Solutions segment increased $8.6 million to $38.0 million, or 29.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. The gross profit increase is mainly attributable to the higher revenue generated for the six months ended June 30, 2024, as noted above.

Aircraft gross profit margin increased to 32.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from 27.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, due to higher margin on Flight Equipment sales. Engine gross profit margin was 39.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, a slight decrease from 39.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which was primarily due to changes in the USM product mix.

TechOps

Our revenue from TechOps increased by $4.5 million, or 7.2%, to $66.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by higher MRO product sales.

Cost of sales in TechOps increased $7.1 million, or 15.1%, to $54.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period, driven by higher revenues discussed above. Gross profit in TechOps decreased $2.6 million, or 17.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven by lower profit generated on MRO services. Gross profit margin decreased to 18.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to 24.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and was largely attributable to lower margins on MRO services of 17.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to 23.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $4.6 million, or 8.8% to $47.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily related to lower share-based compensation and payroll 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, we recorded a change in fair value of the warrant liability income of $2.1 million, compared to a $1.1 million income in the prior year period.

Interest (Expense) Income, Net

Interest expense, net was $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to $1.4 million interest income, net for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This was primarily related to interest expense incurred on borrowings under our debt facilities during the current year period, compared to interest earned on our excess cash in the prior year period.

Table of Contents

Income Taxes

The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 3.5% compared to 45.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 30, 2024 is primarily due to the benefit of the R&D credits, change in fair market value of the warrants and amended state tax returns. The difference between the effective tax rate and the statutory tax rate of 21% for the six months ended June 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 June 30, 2024, we had $4.3 million of cash and cash equivalents. We finance our growth through cash flows generated from operations and borrowings secured by our assets. We had $81.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2024, and we had $97.5 million of availability thereunder. We used cash in operations of $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily for feedstock acquisitions, and used cash in investing activities of $9.0 million for the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company financed additional equipment purchases of $0.6 million, which remain outstanding as of June 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— Six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to six months ended June 30, 2023

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $36.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to cash used of $129.2 million for the same period in 2023. The decrease in cash deployed of $92.4 million was primarily due to lower feedstock acquisitions and the timing of advances to vendors during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities was $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to cash provided of $7.9 million in the same period for 2023. Cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was driven by purchases of property and equipment in support of TechOps expansion. Cash generated by investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by Flight Equipment sales.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $44.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to cash provided of $8.8 million in the same period for 2023. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was primarily related to the proceeds from net borrowings under our Revolving Credit Agreement. Cash provided by financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is the result of proceeds from borrowings under the Equipment Loan.

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 June 30, 2024, there was $81.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement and we had $97.5 million of availability thereunder. We were in compliance with our debt covenants for the Revolving Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2024.

Synovus Equipment Loan

On June 30, 2023, the Company entered into a property and equipment revolving term loan (the “Equipment Loan”) with a total advance commitment of $10.0 million for the purpose of financing capital expenditures on property and equipment. Once the total advance commitment is reached or commencing on June 30, 2024, whichever came first, this facility would become a term loan with a maturity date of June 30, 2027. This 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repaid $8.6 million outstanding under this facility as of December 31, 2023, and borrowed $0.6 million, which remained outstanding as of June 30, 2024.

We were in compliance with our debt covenants for the Equipment Loan as of June 30, 2024.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 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 $27.5 million for the acquisition of technical equipment for manufacturing our AerAware^TM 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 estimates is included in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the 2023 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no material changes in our critical accounting policies and estimates.

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 June 30, 2024, we had $81.0 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 June 30, 2024 would increase our annual interest expense by $0.7 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 and six months ended June 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.

Table of Contents

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 June 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 June 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) during the quarter ended June 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 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 litigations, 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 2023 Form 10-K.

ITEM 2 UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
