Previous wording

Consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 decreased by $5.0 million (7.0%) compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.

Current wording

Consolidated revenue for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by $2.3 million (2.9%) compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year.

Previous wording

Revenues from the air cargo segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $2.7 million (9.6%) compared to the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase was principally attributable to higher administrative fees due to increased fleet of 105 aircraft in the current year quarter compared to 85 aircraft in the prior year quarter, partially offset by lower pass-through revenues from FedEx due to initial provisioning for new aircraft in the prior year that did not recur in the current year quarter.

Current wording

Revenues from the overnight air cargo segment for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by $3.0 million (10.6%) compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase was principally attributable to higher administrative fees due to increased fleet of 105 aircraft in the current year quarter compared to 85 aircraft in the prior year quarter and additional routes granted by FedEx.

Previous wording

The ground equipment sales segment contributed approximately $7.4 million and $11.8 million to the Company’s revenues for the three month ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, representing a $4.4 million (37.6%) decrease in the current fiscal quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by the lower number of deicing trucks sold offset by a slight increase in catering truck sales in the current year quarter compared to the prior year's fiscal comparable quarter. At June 30, 2024, the ground equipment sales segment’s order backlog was $9.9 million compared to $13.7 million at June 30, 2023.

Current wording

The ground equipment sales segment contributed approximately $14.5 million and $12.2 million to the Company’s revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, representing a $2.2 million (18.0%) increase in the current quarter. The increase was primarily driven by the higher number of deicing trucks sold in the current year quarter compared to prior year's comparable quarter. At September 30, 2024, the ground equipment sales segment’s order backlog was $9.1 million compared to $7.0 million at September 30, 2023.

Previous wording

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $26.3 million of revenues in the quarter ended June 30, 2024 compared to $29.8 million in the comparable prior year quarter, which is a decrease of $3.6 million (12.0%). The decrease was primarily driven by lower component part sales at Contrail in the current quarter compared to the prior year comparable quarter.

Current wording

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $32.9 million of revenues in the quarter ended September 30, 2024 compared to $36.5 million in the comparable prior year quarter, which is a decrease of $3.6 million (9.7%). The decrease was primarily driven by four whole engine sales at Contrail in the prior year’s quarter compared to none in the current year’s quarter. This was partially offset by the increase in component part sales in the current year’s quarter compared to prior year’s quarter. We believe Contrail's increased component part sales is driven by airlines’ focusing on maintaining existing fleets of 737NG and A320CEO aircraft, because new orders from the OEMs have been cancelled or delayed. The company is in a position to satisfy customer demand through available inventory and expertise in serviceable aftermarket material.

Previous wording

Revenues from the corporate and other segment for the three months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $0.4 million (17.1%) compared to the first quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily attributable to more subscriptions sales at Shanwick.

Current wording

The overnight air cargo segment's operating income for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 was $1.8 million compared to operating income of $2.0 million in the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. This decrease was primarily attributable to higher salaries expense.

Previous wording

The ground equipment sales segment's operating loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 was $0.8 million compared to the prior year comparable quarter's operating loss of $0.1 million. This change was primarily attributable to the decrease in sales noted above.

Current wording

The ground equipment sales segment's operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 was $0.4 million compared to the prior year comparable quarter's operating loss of $12.0 thousand. This increase was primarily attributable to the higher sales noted in the segment revenue discussion above.

Previous wording

The Company had a net non-operating income of $0.7 million during the quarter ended June 30, 2024, compared to a net non-operating loss of $0.5 million in the prior comparable quarter.

Current wording

The Company had net non-operating loss of $0.6 million during the quarter ended September 30, 2024, compared to net non-operating loss of $1.9 million in the prior year quarter.

Although prior breaches of our systems have not resulted in material negative consequences, breaches of our cybersecurity measures could result in unauthorized access to our systems, misappropriation of information or data, deletion or modification of client information or other interruption to our business operations. As techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to sabotage systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us or our third-party service providers, we may be unable to anticipate, or implement adequate measures to protect against these attacks. If we are unable to avert these attacks and security breaches, we could be subject to significant legal and financial liability, our reputation would be harmed and we could sustain substantial revenue loss from lost sales and customer dissatisfaction. We may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks may target us or other participants, or the communication infrastructure on which we depend. Actual or anticipated attacks and risks may cause us to incur significantly higher costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and network protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants. Cybersecurity breaches would not only harm our reputation and business, but also could materially decrease our revenue and net income.

Future economic developments such as inflation and increased interest rates as well as further business issues present uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition and results of operations. High inflation increased material and component prices, labor rates and supplier costs, and put pressure on our margins. Current geopolitical conditions, including conflicts and other causes of strained intercountry relations, as well as sanctions and other trade restrictive activities, are contributing to these supply chain issues. We expect that issues caused by economic and business issues will continue beyond fiscal 2025. The fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact of these issues on economic and market conditions and our businesses in particular, and, as a result, presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to us and our results of operations. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying the Company’s consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of June 30, 2024.

The cash purchase price is payable through the OCAS Loan, payable beginning on May 1, 2024 and monthly thereafter for a 12-month period of interest payments only with the outstanding balance amortized and paid over the following 3 years. Interest accrues on the principal amount at an annual rate equal to the 10-year Treasury bond yield plus 375 basis points, compounded monthly. The rate adjusts on each anniversary date of the note. The payment obligation under the note may be deferred if Contrail’s forecast indicates that any payment following the first 12-month period would cause a loan default or a loan default exists. Initially, the payment obligation would revert back to interest only, unless a default exists, in which case no payment would be required.
