Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
MARCH 31, 2026
NOTE A — DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS
Organization
AerSale Corporation (the “Company” or “we”), a Delaware corporation, is headquartered 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 the acquisition of mid-life assets, which are monetized through our Asset Management Solutions segment. Asset Management Solutions activities include monetization of the assets through leasing to passenger and cargo operators worldwide, as well as sales of whole assets or their components, or through teardown activities in support of our Used Serviceable Material ("USM") business. Our monetizing services are designed to maximize returns on mid-life Flight Equipment throughout their operating life and to realize the highest residual value at their retirement. We do this by utilizing our deep market and technical knowledge in management of Flight Equipment leasing, sales, 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. The Company's monetization strategy is driven by maximum value extraction for each asset, which may include 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 trading or disassembling the asset once the remaining green time has been utilized.
Through its Technical Operations (“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 Rio Rancho, 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
Interim Financial Statements
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which permits reduced disclosures for interim periods. Although these interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete annual consolidated financial statements, management believes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, and disclosures necessary for a fair presentation of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets,
statements of operations, stockholders’ equity, and cash flows have been made. These unaudited interim results of operations and cash flows are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. Unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes included in Part II, Item 8 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Form 10-K”), wherein a more complete discussion of significant accounting policies and certain other information can be found.
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 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 accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and are not considered a performance obligation to our customers. Our reported revenue on our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations is net of any sales or related non-income taxes.
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.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (“ASU 2024-03”), 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, and (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 — 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):
| · · · · · · · · · | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | March 31, 2026 | | December 31, 2025 | | Change |
| Contract assets | | $5,802 | | $4,076 | | $1,726 |
Contract assets are reported within deposits, prepaid expenses, and other current assets on our condensed 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 the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and amounted to $0.5 million as of December 31, 2025, of which $0.3 million was related to contract liabilities for services to be performed. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recognized as revenue $0.2 million of 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.

NOTE E — INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET
In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles — Goodwill and Other (“ASC 350”), 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.

Amortization expense amounted to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
$180.0 million Wells Fargo Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement
On July 20, 2018, our subsidiary, 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 the London Interbank Offered Rate to the 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 March 31, 2026, the Company had $39.7 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 2.25% to 2.75%. The applicable interest rate as of March 31, 2026 was 6.70%. Interest expense on the Revolving Credit Agreement was $2.0 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
$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.

2020 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company maintains a 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”) and has 10,200,000 shares of common stock issuable under the 2020 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 (the “Board”) of the Company. To the extent that an award under the 2020 Plan expires, is cancelled, forfeited, terminated, settled in cash or otherwise settled without issuance of the full number of shares to which it relates, those shares will become or again be available for awards under the 2020 Plan. The 2020 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board. 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; and interpret and administer the 2020 Plan and any agreements and awards thereunder.
Restricted stock unit activity under the 2020 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

| Expired | | (10,404) | | 16.02 |
| Outstanding at March 31, 2025 | | 1,320,072 | | $8.04 |
As of March 31, 2026, the unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock units was $4.5 million. The Company expects to recognize these costs over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.
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 has 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 restricted share awards granted with future performance conditions vesting is evaluated at each reporting period and compensation expense is adjusted based on the probability assessment.
As of March 31, 2026, the Company’s restricted stock units included 1,536,258 performance-based awards that have vesting provisions subject to both time vesting and the achievement of certain performance milestones ranging from 80% to 200% vesting targets, while the remaining awards vest over a period ranging fromone tothree years.
The Company recorded $0.4 million share-based compensation expense for certain performance-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2026 given that the achievement of the performance milestones was deemed probable for accounting purposes. The Company didnot recognize share-based compensation for the performance-based awards for the three months ended March 31, 2025 given than the achievement of the performance milestones was deemed not probable for accounting purposes.
The share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units was $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
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. 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.
Stock options activity under the 2020 Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

NOTE M — 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 (loss) 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:
| ● | Asset Management Solutions — comprised of activities to extract value from strategic asset acquisitions through leasing, trading, or disassembling for product sales through USM. |
| ● | TechOps — comprised of MRO services and product sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products. |
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 services for landing gear, structured components, and other accessories components. Cost of sales consists principally of the cost of product, direct labor, and overhead. Our engineered solutions revenue consists 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 segment 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 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. 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 (loss) from operations is calculated by further 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).
