Insights

Air T's FY2025 shows modest improvement with 2% revenue growth and increased operating income, though still operating at a net loss.

Air T's fiscal 2025 results present a mixed financial picture with incremental improvements. The company posted $291.9 million in revenue, representing a modest 2% year-over-year increase. Operating income improved to $1.9 million from $1.3 million in the prior year, showing a 46% increase, while Adjusted EBITDA rose to $7.4 million from $6.2 million, a 19% improvement.

Despite these operational gains, the company still reported a net loss per share of $2.23, though this represents a slight improvement from the $2.42 loss per share in FY2024. This persistent bottom-line challenge suggests ongoing structural issues in translating operational improvements into profitability.

The performance across Air T's business segments reveals both strengths and weaknesses. The Overnight Air Cargo segment, primarily serving FedEx, saw a healthy 7% revenue increase but experienced a decline in Adjusted EBITDA, indicating margin pressure. The Ground Support Equipment segment showed moderate revenue growth of 5% and slightly reduced its EBITDA losses, with an encouraging 13.5% increase in backlog to $14.3 million.

The Commercial Aircraft, Engines and Parts segment faced headwinds with a revenue decline, attributed to supply constraints in a competitive market and extended aircraft lifecycles. However, this segment significantly improved profitability with a 61% increase in Adjusted EBITDA, demonstrating effective margin management despite revenue challenges.

Most impressive was the Digital Solutions segment, which achieved 26% revenue growth, signaling strong market adoption of Air T's software subscriptions. However, this segment swung from positive to negative Adjusted EBITDA as the company invested in personnel for growth.

The investment balance in equity method investees increased by 13.8% to $19.0 million, potentially providing future returns if these investments perform well. Overall, Air T shows incremental financial improvement but still faces significant challenges in achieving consistent profitability.

Business Segment Results

Effective as of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, we renamed our ground equipment sales segment to ground support equipment and renamed our commercial jet engines and parts segment to commercial aircraft, engines and parts to better align the descriptions of the segments with their activities.

Additionally, we have elected to separately disclose the digital solutions segment to better align our financial statement presentation with a key long-term growth area for the Company. Digital solutions was previously classified as part of insignificant business activities. As a result of this change, prior period segment information has been recast to conform to our current presentation in our financial statements and related notes.

The Company additionally has a central corporate function that acts as the capital allocator and resource for other consolidated businesses, referred to as Corporate and other. Further, Corporate and other also comprises insignificant businesses and business interests.

Overnight Air Cargo

  • This segment provides air express delivery services, primarily for FedEx, and repair services.

  • Revenues from the overnight air cargo segment increased by $8.5 million (7%) compared to the prior fiscal year, principally attributable to higher labor revenues, increase in admin fees and higher FedEx pass through revenues due to higher billable hours for maintenance. Pass-through costs under the dry-lease agreements with FedEx totaled $39.9 million and $36.4 million for the years ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

  • Adjusted EBITDA* for this segment was $6.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, a decrease of $0.3 million when compared to the prior fiscal year, due primarily to increased loss provisioning for bad debt and additional taxes related to Puerto Rico operations.

Ground Support Equipment

  • 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 $38.9 million for Fiscal Year 2025, up 5% versus $37.2 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily driven by an increase in spare part sales and support services provided to customers while deicer sales increased slightly.

  • Adjusted EBITDA* loss for this segment was $0.8 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to an adjusted EBITDA* loss of $0.9 million in the prior fiscal year.

  • At March 31, 2025, the ground support equipment segment's order backlog was $14.3 million compared to $12.6 million at March 31, 2024.

Commercial Aircraft, Engines and Parts

  • This segment leases commercial jet engines and aircraft; buys, sells and trades in surplus and aftermarket commercial jet engines, engine parts, airframes, and airframe parts, avionics, and other; then delivers the related documents and logistics.

  • Revenues for this segment totaled $118.2 million in Fiscal Year 2025, a decrease of $7.3 million from Fiscal Year 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a lower supply of whole assets available to purchase for tear-down or resale in an increasingly competitive market, further exacerbated by aircraft operators keeping older aircraft in operation for longer than they have in the past.

  • Adjusted EBITDA* for this segment was $9.8 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, compared to Adjusted EBITDA* of $6.1 million in the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily attributable to increased sales of component packages with a higher gross profit in the current fiscal year.

Digital Solutions

  • This segment develops and provides digital aviation and other business services to customers within the aviation industry to generate recurring subscription revenues.

  • The digital solutions segment contributed $7.3 million of revenues in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 compared to $5.8 million in the prior fiscal year which is an increase of $1.5 million (26%). The increase is primarily due to increased software subscriptions driven by continued acquisition of new and recurring customers.

  • Adjusted EBITDA* loss for the digital solutions segment was $0.3 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025. Adjusted EBITDA* decreased by $0.4 million in the current fiscal year, primarily due to increased personnel needed to continue to scale operations.

*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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by removing the impact of specific items and adding back the amounts of interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. When calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company does not add back depreciation expense for aircraft engines that are on lease, as the Company believes this expense matches with the corresponding revenue earned on engine leases. There was $1.4 million depreciation expense for leased assets in the current fiscal year, whereas there was no depreciation expense in the prior fiscal year.

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. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace or be an alternative to operating income, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP. 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.
