NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 (the “Closing Date”), 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”). 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 Doral, Florida, with additional offices, hangars, and warehouses located globally.

Description of the Business

The Company is a worldwide provider of aftermarket commercial aircraft and engines (“Flight Equipment”) and their parts to airlines, leasing companies, manufacturers of original equipment, government and defense contractors, and repair and overhaul service providers. We focus on mid-life assets and monetize them through our Asset Management Solutions segment. Asset Management Solutions activities include monetization of the assets through leasing or sale of whole asset components, or through teardown activities in support of our Used Serviceable Material (“USM”) activities. Our monetizing services have been developed to maximize returns on mid-life commercial aircraft and engines (“Flight Equipment”) throughout their operating life, in conjunction with realizing the highest residual value of Flight Equipment at their retirement. We do this by utilizing our deep market and technical knowledge in management of Flight Equipment sales, leasing and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (“MRO”) activities. Beyond providing asset management services on our own Flight Equipment, we additionally provide asset management services to third-party clients complementing their infrastructure to optimize their Flight Equipment investments. While our offering to customers includes leasing of mid-life Flight Equipment, this service is offered in the context of a broader strategy to extract the maximum value from those assets. Frequently, we will offer a lease of an asset for the time period before its next scheduled overhaul (“green time”) on a short term or “spot” lease, with the intent of disassembling the asset at the conclusion of the lease. In turn, the vast majority of assets that we acquire are ultimately disassembled into parts once the remaining green time has been utilized.

Through its TechOps segment, the Company also operatessix Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 145 Certified Repair Facilities (the MROs) located in Goodyear, Arizona, Millington, Tennessee, Roswell and Albuquerque, New Mexico, as well as two facilities in Miami, Florida. These facilities provide the Company flexibility and control to quickly prepare Company aircraft, engines, and inventory for market, as their selective refurbishment is frequently required to meet customers’ unique demand. In addition to maintaining the Company’s fleet of aircraft, the MROs provide external customer support for maintaining their aircraft with general maintenance, preservation, lease return work, repair services, and long-term storage programs. Leveraging its robust engineering team, TechOps also provides highly specialized technical support to our MRO facilities, as well as developing advanced technical repairs, modifications and products marketed as Engineered Solutions. Engineered Solutions includes the design, manufacture, and installation of new products, systems, and services that can enhance aircraft performance, safety, and service life.

NOTE B -SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The Company’s cash equivalents are held primarily in interest-bearing accounts.

Foreign Currency

The Company has determined that the functional currency for its foreign subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. The primary economic environment in which the entities generate or expend cash is in U.S. dollars as evidenced by the cash flows in or out from revenue, operating expenses, investing, and financings. Only general office expenses and payroll transactions are denominated in local currency of our foreign subsidiaries.

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable include amounts receivable from customers for aircraft and engine parts sales, aircraft and engine basic and supplemental rents, and aircraft services. Contingent rents, also referred to as supplemental rent, which are unbilled, are also included in accounts receivable.

The Company sells to a variety of customers worldwide. For certain transactions and customers not requiring payment in full prior to shipment of goods, the Company extends credit based on an evaluation of the customers’ financial condition. The Company monitors exposure to credit losses and maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses in its accounts receivable portfolio. In establishing the required allowance, management considers historical losses, current market conditions, customers’ financial condition, amount of receivables in dispute, current receivables aging, and current payment patterns. Account balances are written off against the allowance after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. A rollforward of the allowance for credit losses is as follows (in thousands):

On June 9, 2014, an aircraft leased to Air Indus suffered significant damage as the result of a terrorist attack. At that time, the Company recorded an impairment to the asset of $2.5 million to adjust the carrying amount to the estimated residual value of $1.1 million. The Company filed an insurance claim and recorded an insurance receivable of $2.5 million, offsetting the impairment loss, which was recorded in accounts receivable in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021. In accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), the probable amount of the insurance recovery, limited to the amount of the loss recognized, was recorded as the insurance receivable. Effective November 30, 2022, a final settlement was reached and insurance proceeds net of expenses of $4.2 million were received, of which $1.7 million was classified asother income, net on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Inventory

Inventory, which consists of complete Flight Equipment held for sale, as well as related parts, is valued at the Lower of Cost or Net Realizable Value (“NRV”) value. For purchases of whole aircraft and engines for sale or lease, cost is determined using the specific identification method whereby total cost is the cost paid, including certain capitalizable asset acquisition costs, to acquire such assets as a whole.

Additionally, the Company purchases certain whole Flight Equipment to disassemble and supply its engine and airframe parts inventory. For aircraft and engine parts that originate from such dismantled Flight Equipment, cost is determined using a ratio calculated based on the relationship of the cost of the dismantled aircraft or engine at the time of purchase to the total estimated sales value of the dismantled aircraft or engine at the time of purchase. At the time of sale, this ratio is applied to the sale price of each individual airframe and/or engine part to determine its allocated cost. At the time of sale, the sum of an individual part’s allocated cost and actual repair or overhaul costs incurred represent the total cost for such part. 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 and inventory used in MROs are reported under current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Inventory not expected to be sold within the operating cycle is classified as noncurrent inventory on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company evaluates this ratio periodically, and if necessary, updates sales value estimates and makes prospective adjustments to this ratio on a product line basis. Any amounts identified with an estimated sales value lower than the carrying value is reduced to the estimated net realizable value at the time of the review. The Company recorded additional inventory reserves due to this NRV valuation, which is reflected as a component of cost of products in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. These additional inventory reserves were as follows (in thousands):

Expenditures required for the repair of engine and airframe parts are capitalized as inventory and are expensed as cost of products when associated parts are sold.

The Company periodically evaluates its complete aircraft and engines in inventory and Flight Equipment held for lease to determine if events or market circumstances indicate that the assets’ most likely disposition has changed. Should conditions prevail at the time of the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets that would suggest a more likely use as an asset held for lease rather than sale or disassembly for parts inventory or vice versa, it will be reclassified at its then-current book value between inventory and fixed assets - aircraft and engines held for lease, net. This transaction is a noncash item and if it occurs, is reflected in the schedule of supplemental cash flows.

The carrying value of inventory is reviewed regularly, giving consideration to factors such as its physical condition, sales patterns, and expected future demand to estimate the amount necessary to write down our slow-moving, obsolete, or damaged inventory. Such inventory may be held for periods beyond one year. The Company recorded

inventory scrap losses which are reflected as a component of cost of products in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. These scrap losses are as follows (in thousands):

Flight Equipment Held for Lease

Flight Equipment held for lease is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Certain internal and external professional fees, major improvements, modifications, and maintenance incurred in connection with the acquisition of Flight Equipment that are required to get the Flight Equipment ready for initial service are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the Flight Equipment, and are reported in the investing activities section of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Subsequent to placing Flight Equipment into service, the cost of maintenance and improvements to Flight Equipment is normally expensed unless the improvements materially increase the long-term value of the Flight Equipment or extend the useful life of the Flight Equipment. The capitalized cost is depreciated over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the Flight Equipment or the estimated useful life of the capitalized improvements. Aircraft airframe components are depreciated over the assets’ useful life using the straight-line method to the estimated residual value based on the total remaining life before disassembly or outright scrap metal value. Aircraft current useful life is 7 years. Engines are depreciated using the straight-line method to the estimated residual value based on the total life remaining before disassembly. To arrive at the total engine life remaining before disassembly, the remaining life of the engine’s life-limited parts, the estimated utilization, and condition, as well as the aircraft fleet supported by the engine model are considered. Upon completion of its service life as a leased asset, Flight Equipment is reclassified to inventory at its carrying value. The Company discontinues the depreciation of Flight Equipment when it is held as inventory for ultimate parts sales. Differences between estimates of useful lives and residual values and actual experience may result in future impairments of aircraft or engines and/or additional gains or losses upon disposal. The Company reviews residual values of aircraft and engines periodically based on knowledge of current residual values and residual value trends to determine if they are appropriate and records adjustments as necessary. Cash flows related to the purchase and sale of Flight Equipment are presented as operating activities when the predominant source of cash flows related to the asset is from the ultimate parts sales of the assets. If the predominant source of cash flows related to the asset is expected to be from leasing of the asset, the cash flows are presented as investing activities.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets on a straight-line basis, ranging from 1 to 15 years. Leasehold improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the terms of the respective leases and the estimated useful lives of the respective assets. Property and equipment held under capital leases are amortized on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life of the asset. Repairs and maintenance expenditures are expensed as incurred, unless such expenses extend the useful life of the asset, in which case they are capitalized.

Goodwill

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” goodwill is tested at least annually for impairment, or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable, by assessing qualitative factors or performing a quantitative analysis in determining whether it is more likely than not that its fair value exceeds the carrying value. A quantitative assessment involves determining the fair value of each reporting unit using market participant assumptions. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value up to the amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Our annual assessment date for goodwill is October 1st.

For purposes of reviewing impairment and the recoverability of goodwill, we must make various assumptions regarding estimated future cash flows and other factors in determining the fair values of the reporting unit, including market multiples, discount rates, etc.

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company identified a triggering event that may indicate 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. As a result and due to the lack of recovery of the Company’s stock price during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, and determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values for each reporting unit of as the end of each quarter tested. As such, the quantitative tests did not result in a goodwill impairment for the Company’s reporting units.

The Company performed a quantitative impairment analysis as of October 1, 2023 on the goodwill for the Asset Management Solutions and TechOps segments (see Note P – Business Segments for a discussion about our business segments), and updated through December 31, 2023, concluding that the fair value of each reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, and thusno impairment was recorded.

Other Intangible Assets

Intangibles arising from business combinations, including customer relationships, FAA certificates, and AerAware flight manuals, are initially recorded at fair market value. Customer relationships are amortized overten years. Straight-line amortization is utilized. Where there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, or other factors that would reasonably limit the useful life of an intangible assets, that asset is classified as indefinite lived and such intangible assets are not amortized.

Other intangible assets with indefinite lives are assessed for impairment annually, or more frequently when events or circumstances indicate there may be an impairment. These assets are carried at the estimated fair value at the time of acquisition. Our annual assessment date for indefinite lived intangible assets is July 1st.

The Company performed a qualitative impairment analysis as of July 1, 2024, and a quantitative impairment analysis as of July 1, 2023 on the indefinite lived intangible assets and concluded there wereno impairments, respectively.

Other intangible assets are reviewed for impairment if any event or change in circumstance indicates that an impairment may have occurred. The Company annually reviews the estimated lives and methods used to amortize other intangible assets. The actual amounts of amortization expense may differ materially from our estimates, depending on the results of our annual review.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such events and circumstances include, but are not limited to, prolonged industry downturns, a significant decline in the Company’s market value, and significant reductions in the Company's projected cash flows. If circumstances require a long-lived asset or asset group to be tested for possible impairment, the Company first compares undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by that asset or asset group to its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset or asset group is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals, as considered necessary.

Obligations and Instruments Potentially Settled in the Company’s Common Stock

In connection with any obligations and instruments potentially to be settled in the Company’s stock, the Company accounts for the instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in a Company’s Own Stock (“ASC 815”). ASC 815 addresses the initial balance sheet classification and measurement of contracts that are indexed to, and potentially settled in, the Company’s stock. Under this pronouncement, contracts are initially classified as equity or as either assets or liabilities, depending on the situation. All contracts are initially measured at fair value and subsequently accounted for based on the then current classification.

Contracts initially classified as equity do not recognize subsequent changes in fair value as long as the contracts continue to be classified as equity. For contracts classified as assets or liabilities, the Company reports changes in fair value in earnings and records these changes in the financial statements as long as the contracts remain classified as assets or liabilities. If contracts classified as assets or liabilities are ultimately settled in shares, any previously reported gains or losses on those contracts continue to be included in earnings. The classification of a contract is reassessed at each balance sheet date.

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 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 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 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 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 consolidated statements of operations, and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers. Our reported revenue on our consolidated statements of operations is net of any sales or related non-income taxes.

Maintenance and Repair Costs

The cost of maintenance, repairs, and re-leasing of Flight Equipment that does not extend the useful life of Flight Equipment is expensed as incurred. Costs incurred for planned major maintenance activities that materially increase the long-term value of the Flight Equipment or extend the useful life of the Flight Equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the Flight Equipment or the estimated useful life of the capitalized improvements.

Pursuant to certain of the Company’s aircraft leases, the lessee is responsible for performing required maintenance and repairs on the leased asset, and is required to make monthly maintenance reserve payments to the Company, in arrears following the usage month. Upon the lessee’s presentation of invoices evidencing the completion of qualifying maintenance, the Company will reimburse the lessee for the cost of the maintenance, up to the amount of the maintenance reserve payments that have been received by the Company. Unless otherwise provided in the contract, the Company

records such maintenance reserve payments paid by the lessees as maintenance deposit payments and other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets to record the Company’s contractual commitment to reimburse such qualifying maintenance. Reimbursements to the lessees upon receipt of evidence for qualifying maintenance work are charged against the existing maintenance deposit payments and other liabilities.

For other lease contracts (primarily engine lease contracts) where the terms of the lease are designed specifically to allow the Company to directly manage the occurrence, timing, and associated cost of qualifying maintenance work on the Flight Equipment, maintenance reserve payments collected during the lease are recognized as leasing revenue in the period earned.

Any amounts of maintenance reserve payments remaining at the end of a lease contract are recognized as lease revenue or applied against outstanding accounts receivable at lease termination.

Share Based Compensation

The Company accounts for share-based compensation to employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Under ASC 718, the Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award and, for those awards subject only to service conditions, the Company recognizes the costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for the entire award the employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award, which generally is the vesting period. For awards with performance and service conditions, we begin recording share-based compensation when achieving the performance criteria is probable and we recognize the costs using the accelerated attribution method. Our policy is to recognize forfeitures as they occur.

The estimated number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual results or updated estimates differ from the Company’s current estimates, such amount will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period estimates are revised. Changes in the Company’s estimates and assumptions may cause us to realize material changes in share-based compensation expense in the future.

The Company has issued share-based awards with performance-based vesting criteria. Achievement of the milestones must be probable before the Company begins recording share-based compensation expense. When the performance-based vesting criteria is considered probable, the Company begins to recognize compensation expense at that time. In the period that achievement of the performance-based criteria is deemed probable, US GAAP requires the immediate recognition of all previously unrecognized compensation since the original grant date. As a result, compensation expense recorded in the period that achievement is deemed probable could include a substantial amount of previously unrecorded compensation expense related to the prior periods. For any share-based awards where performance-based vesting criteria is no longer considered probable, previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed.

The Company applies Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-07, Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which generally expands the scope of ASC 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees and supersedes the guidance in ASC 505-50, Equity-Based Payments to Non-employees, which previously included the accounting for nonemployee awards.

Sales Taxes

The Company’s policy is to present taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities on a net basis. The Company records the amounts collected as a current liability and relieves such liability upon remittance to the taxing authority without impacting revenue or expenses.

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net earnings (loss) attributable to the Company’s common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the periods. Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were

exercised or converted into common stock and is calculated using the treasury stock method for stock options and unvested shares.

Deferred insurance proceeds

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 a $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 $67.6 million. The cost basis of the destroyed inventory was $6.0 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company collected interim funding from the insurance companies associated with this claim in the amount of $30.9 million and collected $3.7 million subsequent to the balance sheet date. The Company has deferred the recognition of a gain on insurance proceeds collected under this claim in excess of the loss amount until a full settlement of the claim is reached with our insurers. The deferred gain in the amount of $24.9 million as of December 31, 2024 is presented under deferred insurance proceeds in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained on examination by the taxing authorities. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.

The Company records interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in the income tax provision.

Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements

Certain balances in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 and the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily including the reclassification of deposits for Flight Equipment purchases from deposits, prepaid expenses, and other current assets to advance vendor payments. Such reclassification did not impact net income (loss), stockholders’ equity or total cash flows from operating activities, and did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). The amendments in ASU 2023-07 are intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for entities with a single reportable segment, and contain other disclosure requirements. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 were adopted by the Company as of January 1, 2024 and retrospectively applied. Refer to Note P – Business Segments, for disclosures resulting from the adoption of ASU 2023-07. 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 December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, 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, with early adoption permitted. This guidance is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of 2025. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and disclosure.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures, 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 - SIGNIFICANT RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the useful lives of property and equipment, useful lives and residual values of Flight Equipment held for lease, allowances for doubtful accounts and sales returns, the income tax provision, impairment of long-lived assets, valuation of inventory, and valuation and useful lives of intangibles, goodwill and contingencies.

Risks and Uncertainties

The Company is impacted by the general economic conditions of the commercial aviation industry. A decrease in passenger and/or air cargo traffic worldwide could result in strains on the Company’s lessees and cause them to default under their leases with the Company, which could negatively impact the Company’s cash flows and results of operations. The value of Flight Equipment held for operating leases is subject to fluctuations in the values of commercial aircraft and engines worldwide. A material decrease in aircraft or engine values could have a downward impact on lease rentals and residual values and may require impairments to be taken on such assets. Additionally, impairment charges may be required to reduce the carrying value of inventory.

The nature of the Company’s business is capital intensive and demands significant capital requirements. To meet the Company’s current purchase commitments and future aircraft and engine acquisitions, the Company may need to (i) access committed debt facilities, and/or (ii) secure additional financing, and/or (iii) use existing available cash balances.

The Company is also subject to regulation by various governmental agencies with responsibilities over civil aviation. Increased regulations imposed by organizations such as the FAA may significantly affect industry operations.

The Company conducts business in certain foreign countries, some of which are politically unstable or subject to military or civil conflicts. Consequently, the Company is subject to a variety of risks such as civil strife, political instability, import and export regulations, compliance with foreign laws, treaties, regulations, uncertainties arising from foreign local

less developed business practices, difficulty in repossessing Flight Equipment when a lessee defaults, cultural considerations, restriction on fund transfers, and exposure to the FCPA and other anti-bribery laws.

The Company periodically reviews the carrying values of accounts receivable, inventory, goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets; the recoverable value of deferred income tax assets, and the sufficiency of accruals and provisions, substantially all of which are sensitive to the above risks and uncertainties.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk principally consist of cash and cash equivalents and accounts receivable.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, one customer accounted for 15% of total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2023, two customers accounted for 25% of total revenue. During the year ended December 31, 2022, one customer accounted for 19% of total revenue.

No customer made up more than 10% of our trade receivable balance as of December 31, 2024. One customer made up 20% of our trade receivable balance as of December 31, 2023.

Cash

The Company maintains cash and cash equivalent balances with high-quality financial institutions, which at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits. While the Company monitors daily the cash balances in its operating accounts and adjusts the balances as appropriate, these balances could be impacted if one or more of the financial institutions with which the Company deposits fails or is subject to other adverse conditions in the financial or credit markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to its invested cash or cash equivalents; however, no assurance can be provided that access to invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial and credit markets.

Subsequent Events

The Company evaluates subsequent events and transactions that occur after the balance sheet date up to the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued.

NOTE D - 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):

Contract assets are reported within deposits, prepaid expenses, and other current assets on our 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 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 year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized as revenue the entire opening balance of our 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 thansix months.

Disaggregation of Revenue

The Company reports revenue by segment. The following tables present revenue by segment, as well as a reconciliation to total revenue (in thousands):

NOTE E-INVENTORY

Inventory consisted of the following (in thousands):

NOTE F -INTANGIBLE ASSETS

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, 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, customer relationships and FAA certifications. The assumptions we 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.

Goodwill and other intangibles consisted of the following (in thousands):

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. As a result and due to the lack of recovery of the Company’s stock price during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company performed a quantitative goodwill

impairment test for the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2024, and determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values for each reporting unit of as the end of each quarter tested. As such, the quantitative tests did not result in a goodwill impairment for the Company’s reporting units. In addition, the Company performed a qualitative assessment as of July 1, 2024 of other intangible assets with indefinite lives and concluded it was unlikely that they were impaired.

The Company performed a quantitative impairment analysis as of October 1, 2023 on the goodwill for the Asset Management Solutions and TechOps segment, and concluded there wasno impairment. The Company performed a qualitative impairment analysis as of July 1, 2024, and a quantitative impairment analysis as of July 1, 2023 on the intangible assets with indefinite lives and concluded there wereno impairments, respectively.

Intangible assets with definite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Net book value of intangible assets with definite lives are as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense was as follows (in thousands):

The estimated aggregate amount of amortization expense for intangible assets as follows (in thousands):

Accumulated amortization amounted to $11.5 million and $9.3 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

There has beenno goodwill activity for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

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. No triggering events have been identified for the periods reported.

NOTE G - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT, NET

Property and equipment, net, consisted of the following (in thousands):

Depreciation expense was as follows (in thousands):

NOTE H - AIRCRAFT AND ENGINES HELD FOR LEASE AND LEASE, NET

Aircraft and engines held for operating leases, net, consists of the following (in thousands):

The Company didnot record an impairment of leased assets during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company recorded an impairment $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, and is included in cost of leasing in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Total depreciation expense included in cost of leasing in the Consolidated Statements of Operations is as follows (in thousands):

Contingent rental fees recognized as revenue related to supplemental rent were as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s current operating lease agreements for Flight Equipment on lease expire over the next month tosix years. The minimum future lease rentals contracted to be received under these existing operating leases of Flight Equipment at December 31, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

These amounts are based upon the assumption that Flight Equipment under operating leases will remain on lease for the length of time specified by the respective lease agreements.

NOTE I - FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements and disclosures require the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:

The Company measures the fair value of certain assets and liabilities on a nonrecurring basis when U.S. GAAP requires the application of fair value, including events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include intangible assets acquired in business combinations.

The Company’s financial instruments, other than cash and cash equivalents, consist principally of accounts receivable and accounts payable. The fair value of such approximates the carrying value of these financial instruments because of their short-term nature.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement (as defined in Note L – Financing Arrangements) approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate on the facility. The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement are carried at historical cost and adjusted for principal payments.

Borrowings under the CIBC Equipment Loan (as defined in Note L – Financing Arrangements) approximate fair value due to the variable interest rate on the loan and its origination during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s borrowings under the Equipment Loan are carried at historical cost and adjusted for principal payments.

NOTE J - ACCRUED EXPENSES

The following is a summary of the components of accrued expenses (in thousands):

NOTE K - WARRANT LIABILITY

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, warrants to purchase a total of 623,834 shares of the Company’s common stock were outstanding (the “Private Warrants”).

Each of the Private Warrants entitles the registered holder to purchaseone share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. During 2022, a private warrant holder initiated a cashless exercise of 126,166 warrants for the purchase of shares of common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and we issued 47,867 shares of common stock based on the fair value at the date of exercise of $18.5306 per share. The remaining Private Warrants will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 22, 2025, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation, as applicable. 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 815. 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 Consolidated Statements of Operations. The fair value of the Private Warrants was determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The following table represents the assumptions for the Black-Scholes option-pricing model used in determining the fair value of the Private Warrants as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:

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 L - FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

Outstanding debt obligations as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 consisted of the following (in thousands):

At December 31, 2024 and 2023, total deferred financing costs were $1.3 million and $1.5 million, respectively. 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 was as follows (in thousands):

$180.0 million Wells Fargo Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility

On July 20, 2018, AerSale Inc. and other subsidiary borrowers entered in a secured amended and restated Revolving Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”). The Revolving Credit Agreement initially provided for a $110.0 million aggregate amount of revolver commitments subject to borrowing base. The Revolving Credit Agreement included a $10.0 million sub facility for letters of credit and for borrowings on same-day notice referred to as “swingline loans”. 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.

On March 9, 2023, we amended the Revolving Credit Agreement to replace the benchmark rate from LIBOR to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). On July 25, 2023, the Revolving Credit Agreement was amended to increase the maximum commitments thereunder 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 the maturity date was extended to July 24, 2028.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had $138.1 million of availability, subject to borrowing base limitations.

The obligations of AerSale, Inc. under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, and other subsidiaries of AerSale, Inc. may be designated as borrowers on a joint and several basis. Such obligations are also secured by substantially all of the assets of the Company.

The interest rate applicable to loans outstanding on the Revolving Credit Agreement is a floating rate of interest per annum of SOFR plus a margin of 2.75%. The applicable interest rate as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, was 7.52% and 7.69%, respectively.

Interest expense on the Revolving Credit Agreement was as follows (in thousands):

The Company’s ability to borrow on the Revolving Credit Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance by the Company with various customary affirmative and negative covenants. The Revolving Credit Agreement requires the Company to meet certain financial and nonfinancial covenants. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

$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 (“Synovus Equipment Loan”) with a total advance commitment of $10.0 million for the purpose of financing capital expenditures on property and equipment. This facility became a term loan during quarter ended June 30, 2024, with a maturity date of June 30, 2027. This loan is collateralized by the property and equipment it finances and requires principal and interest payments. The Synovus Equipment Loan bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 7.96%. As of December 31, 2024, there wasno outstanding balance on the Synovus Equipment Loan.

The Synovus Equipment Loan bore interest at a rate per annum equal to one-month SOFR plus 3.50%, which was adjusted monthly. The effective rate on this facility was 8.84% as of December 31, 2023. Interest expense on the Equipment Loan was $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The Synovus 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 December 31, 2023.

$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.

The effective rate on this facility as of December 31, 2024 was 7.37%. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there wasno interest expense on the CIBC Equipment Loan. Maturities of the Equipment Loan as of December 31, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

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 December 31, 2024.

Tax Rate Reconciliation

The provision for income taxes on pre-tax income differs from the amount computed by applying the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21.0% for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 due to the following (in thousands):

Significant Components of Deferred Taxes

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the net effect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. The tax

effects of temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows (in thousands):

The deferred tax assets are adjusted by a valuation allowance if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that a portion or all the deferred assets will not be realized. After considering all of the evidence, both positive and negative, it was determined more likely than not that the Company's net deferred tax asset in the U.S. jurisdiction will be realizable as of December 31, 2024.

At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had net operating losses available for carry-forward for Federal income tax purposes of approximately $13.8 million and $7.8 million, respectively. These net operating loss carryforwards acquired prior to 2024 will expire on various dates through 2034. Utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2024 are subject to annual limitations under Sec. 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. A deferred tax asset has been recorded only for those carryforwards that the Company expects to utilize prior to expiration.

The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, various state jurisdictions, and in Ireland. Tax years beginning in 2020 through 2023 are open for examination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service and tax years beginning in 2019 through 2023 are open for examination by various state taxing jurisdictions in which the Company is subject to tax. Tax years beginning in 2019 through 2023 are open for examination by the Irish taxing authorities.

ASC 740, Income Taxes, provides that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolutions of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits. ASC 740 also provides guidance on measurement, derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, and disclosure and transition. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, there wasno reserve for uncertain tax positions.

NOTE N - EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) is based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the computation for basic and diluted earnings per share as follows:

NOTE O - STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Common Stock

The Company’s common stock consist of $0.0001 par value,200,000,000 shares authorized, of which 53,252,563 and 52,954,430 shares were issued and outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Effective November 8, 2022, the Board of Directors approved to repurchase, directly from selling stockholders,1,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a price of $14.8025 per share for a total of $22,203,750.

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 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 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, it will become or again be available for awards under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan is administered by the Company's Compensation Committee. 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 Plans and any agreements and awards thereunder. Approximately 1,294,229 shares of common stock remain available for future grants.

Restricted stock unit activity under the 2020 Plan for the year ended December 31, 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 these awards is determined based on the closing price of the shares on the grant date. The probability of vesting 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 December 31, 2024, the Company’s restricted stock units include 726,109 performance-based awards that have vesting provisions subject to both time vesting and the achievement of certain performance milestones ranging from 50% to 200% vesting targets, while the remaining 654,168 awards vest over a period ranging fromone tothree years.

For the year ended December 31, 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. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized share-based compensation expense for certain performance-based awards of $7.9 million and $14.2 million, respectively, given that the achievement of the performance milestones at the 200% vesting target was deemed probable for accounting purposes.

Stock Options

Stock options granted under the 2020 Plan have exercise terms of 10 years and vest in equal installments ofone-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:

Stock option activity under the 2020 Plan for the year ended December 31, 2024 was as follows:

As of December 31, 2024, the unrecognized compensation costs related to these awards was $1.6 million. The Company expects to recognize those costs over a weighted average period of 1.6 years. The total grant date fair value of stock options awarded during the year ended December 31, 2024 was $2.4 million.

2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company also maintains a 2020 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”) and has registered 500,000 shares of common stock issuable under the ESPP. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company issued 89,923 and 45,755 shares, respectively, pursuant to the ESPP and 317,596 shares remain available for future issuance.

NOTE P - BUSINESS SEGMENTS

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

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 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 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 for operators. 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 their 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 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).

Selected financial information for each segment is as follows (in thousands):

The following table reconciles segment gross profit to income (loss) before income tax provision:

The following table presents revenue based on the customers’ geographic location and long-lived assets located in the United States, our country of domicile, for the years ended December 31 (in thousands):

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company hadone customer from which revenue generated exceeded 10% of total sales. Total sales to this customer amounted to $50.9 million, of which $33.5 million was included in TechOps segment and $17.4 million was included in the Asset Management Solutions segment. As of December 31, 2023, the Company hadtwo customers from which revenue generated exceeded 10% of total sales. Total sales to these customers amounted to $82.2 million, of which $35.7 million was included in TechOps segment and $46.5 million was included in the Asset Management Solutions segment.

Intersegment sales includes amounts invoiced by a segment for work performed for another segment. Amounts are based on actual work performed or products sold and agreed-upon pricing which is intended to be reflective of the contribution made by the supplying business segment. All intersegment transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Intersegment revenue is as follows (in thousands):

NOTE Q -LEASES

The Company leases facilities, offices, and equipment. The Company evaluates whether a contractual arrangement that provides it with control over the use of an asset is a lease. The right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and related operating lease liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the term of the lease. The implicit rate of our lease arrangements is not readily determinable nor is it disclosed by our lessors; therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the lease commencement date to discount the lease payments. The Company classifies a lease as operating or finance using the classification criteria set forth in ASC Topic 842. Some of our leases are non-cancellable and may include renewal or termination options. Renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised are included in the determination of the term of a lease.

The Company’s lease agreements typically do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants, and may include variable lease payments related to escalation clauses based on consumer price index rates, as well as maintenance and other services. Variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate are included in the determination of ROU asset and lease liabilities using the index or rate at the lease commencement date, whereas variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are recorded as lease expense in the period incurred. Lease expense is recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis unless another systematic basis is more representative of the pattern in which the Company expects to consume the asset’s future economic benefits.

ROU assets are evaluated for impairment in a manner consistent with the treatment of other long-lived assets. The Company made an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets or liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less.

The components of lease expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

Our operating leases expire at various dates through 2035. Maturities of our operating lease payments as of December 31, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):

Our weighted-average remaining lease term and weighted-average discount rate are as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information related to leases were as follows (in thousands):

NOTE R - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Management Compensation

Certain executive management entered into employment agreements with the Company. The contracts provide that such management may earn discretionary bonuses, computed upon a sliding percentage scale of their base salaries, based on the overall financial performance of the Company and each individual’s contributions, subject to approval by the Company’s Board of Directors. Additionally, under certain termination conditions, such contracts provide for severance

payments under the Company’s Severance Plan, including payment of base salary, bonus, and fringe benefits. The contracts include certain noncompete clauses commencing upon the employee’s separation from the Company.

Litigation
