Business Segment Results
Overnight Air Cargo

Revenues for this segment were
$30.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, compared to$30.4 million in the prior year's comparable quarter.Adjusted EBITDA* for this segment was
$1.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of$0.3 million when compared to the prior year's comparable quarter. The decrease was driven mainly by lower margins on maintenance revenue.
Ground Support Equipment ("GGS")
This segment-which includes some of the world-leading offerings in the category-manufactures mobile deicers and other specialized ground-support equipment. Customers include passenger and cargo airlines, airports, the military, and other industrial customers.
Revenues for this segment totaled
$15.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, up105% when compared to revenue of$7.4 million in the previous year's first fiscal quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the higher number of deicing trucks sold in the current year's quarter compared to the prior year's comparable quarter.Adjusted EBITDA* profit for this segment was
$1.4 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an increase of$1.9 million compared to the prior year quarter's Adjusted EBITDA* loss of$0.5 million , due primarily to increased costs incurred in connection with the higher sales noted above. The percentage increase in segment operating expenses was less than the percentage increase in segment revenue due to higher margins on the deicing trucks sold in the current quarter.As of June 30, 2025, this segment's order backlog was
$7.2 million versus$9.9 million as of June 30, 2024.
Commercial Aircraft, Engines and Parts

Revenues for this segment totaled
$22.0 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of$4.3 million versus the previous year's fiscal first quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by lower component sales in the current quarter, partially offset by an increase in lease income resulting from two assets being on lease in the current fiscal year quarter, compared to none in the same fiscal quarter of the prior year.Adjusted EBITDA* for this segment was
$0.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of$0.9 million when compared to the prior year quarter's Adjusted EBITDA* of$1.7 million , primarily due to the lower component sales, coupled with lower profit margin on parts sold in the current quarter.

Revenues for this segment totaled
$2.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, an increase of$0.4 million versus the previous year's first fiscal quarter. The increase is primarily due to increased software subscriptions driven by continued acquisition of new customers.Adjusted EBITDA* loss for this segment was
$0.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, a decrease in the loss of$0.2 million when compared to the prior year quarter's Adjusted EBITDA* loss of$0.3 million , primarily due to the increased revenue noted above.
*Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure; see below for further explanation and reconciliation to GAAP measures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses adjusted earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, to evaluate the Company's financial performance. This performance measure is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.
Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company's performance because it provides investors additional information about the Company's operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. We may periodically review and update our non-GAAP financial measures based on our determination of their relevance to our business which could result in the addition or elimination of select non-GAAP financial measures in the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace or be an alternative to operating income (loss), the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.
