Goodwill
Current report
In the first quarter of 2024, the Company identified a triggering event indicating the fair value of one or more of the Company’s reporting units more likely than not did not exceed their carrying values. The triggering event was due to the significant decline in the market price of the Company’s common stock during the quarter. As a result, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units as of March 31, 2024, and determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values for each reporting unit. Due to the lack of recovery in the stock price during the second and third quarters of 2024, the Company performed an interim quantitative goodwill impairment test for the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units again as of June 30, 2024 and September 30, 2024, and determined that the fair values exceeded the carrying values for each reporting unit. As such, the interim quantitative tests did not result in a goodwill impairment for the Company’s reporting units.
Current report
As part of our quantitative assessment as of September 30, 2024, we noted that our fair value estimates of the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units exceeded their carrying value by a small margin, which indicates a higher potential risk of goodwill impairment in the future; especially if these reporting units are unable to achieve projected performance metrics. As of September 30, 2024, the amount of goodwill in the Asset Management Solutions and ACT reporting units amounted to $13.4 million and $6.0 million, respectively.
Current report
The fair value determination of the Company’s reporting units and goodwill is judgmental in nature and requires the use of estimates and assumptions that are sensitive to changes. Such estimates include revenue growth rates, profit margins, and discount rates which consider the risk-free rate as well as company and market specific risk premiums. Revenue estimates for the Asset Management Solutions reporting unit are dependent on our ability to monetize existing Flight Equipment and meet our feedstock acquisition targets. Revenue estimates for the ACT reporting unit consider benefits derived from our facility expansion and certain synergies within the organization. While the Company believes it has made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair values of the reporting units, it is possible a material change could occur. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the quantitative goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of future results.

We are a worldwide provider of aftermarket commercial aircraft, engines, and their parts to passenger and cargo airlines, leasing companies, original equipment manufacturers (“OEM”), government and defense contractors, and maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) service providers. We report our activities in two business segments: Asset Management Solutions, comprised of activities that extract value from strategic Flight Equipment acquisitions either as whole assets or by disassembling for used serviceable material (“USM”), and TechOps, comprised of MRO activities for aircraft and their components, sales of internally developed engineered solutions and other serviceable products.

Previous wording
We focus on mid-life Flight Equipment and monetize them through our Asset Management Solutions segment. Asset Management Solutions’ activities include monetization of assets through the lease or sale of whole assets, or through disassembly activities in support of our USM-related activities. Our monetizing services have been developed to maximize returns on mid-life Flight Equipment throughout their operating life, in conjunction with realizing the highest residual value of Flight Equipment at its retirement. We accomplish this by utilizing deep market and technical knowledge related to the management of Flight Equipment sales, leasing and MRO services. To extract value from the remaining flight time on whole assets, we provide flexible short-term (generally less than five years) leasing solutions of Flight Equipment to passenger and cargo operators across the globe. Once the value from the Flight Equipment’s flight time has been extracted, Flight Equipment is considered to be at or near the end of its useful life and is analyzed for return maximization as either whole asset sales or disassembled for sale as USM parts. Revenue from this segment is segregated between Aircraft and Engine depending on the asset type that generated the revenue. Lease revenue and the related depreciation from aircraft and engines installed on those aircraft are recognized under the Aircraft category. Revenue from sales of whole aircraft and related cost of sales are allocated between the Aircraft and Engine categories based on the allocated cost basis of the asset sold.
