Insights

Financial Overview: The financial results for Q2 2024 highlight some significant issues. The company reported a net loss of $228,205,000, which translates to a loss of $2.26 per basic and diluted share. While the adjusted EBITDA of $213,904,000 suggests that the underlying operational performance might be healthier, the substantial net loss is concerning and indicates potential inefficiencies or extraordinary expenses.

Dividend Declaration: Declaring a dividend of $0.30 per ordinary share is a positive sign, suggesting that the company is confident in its cash flow and liquidity, despite the net loss. Dividends on preferred shares also indicate a commitment to return value to shareholders.

Investors should be cautious; while the high EBITDA shows operational strength, the substantial net loss requires a closer look at operating expenses and debt levels. The dividend might provide short-term confidence but understanding the causes of the net loss is critical for long-term investment decisions.

Aerospace Products Performance: The business highlight mentioning the Aerospace Products segment reaching a new Adjusted EBITDA high of $91.2 million is noteworthy. This indicates a strong performance in a critical segment, which could be a sign of competitive strength and effective market positioning.

With 20 V2500 engines inducted to date and expectations to induct 30 more by year-end, FTAI shows robust activity in its operational capabilities. Additionally, having over 50 active customers for the Module Factory™ suggests strong demand and customer trust. These operational metrics can be seen as positive indicators for future revenue growth and market share stability.

Investors should monitor the sustainability of these numbers, as consistency in such performance could offset some concerns over the net loss.

Technological Advancements: The induction of V2500 engines and the expansion of the Module Factory™ to over 50 active customers demonstrate significant technological capabilities. It shows that FTAI is not only active in maintaining but also expanding its technological assets, which could provide a competitive edge.

The ability to induct 50 engines within a year reflects operational efficiency and high demand for FTAI’s technological solutions. Innovations in engine maintenance and repair could potentially lead to higher margins and customer retention.

For investors, these technological advancements may suggest a long-term growth trajectory, making the company's stock potentially more appealing despite short-term financial setbacks.

Key Performance Measures

The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as our key performance measure.

Adjusted EBITDA provides the CODM with the information necessary to assess operational performance, as well as make resource and allocation decisions. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of provision for income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and capital lease obligations, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and amortization expense, dividends on preferred shares, and interest expense, internalization fee to affiliate, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities and the non-controlling share of Adjusted EBITDA.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:
