Asia tech stocks slide tracking Wall St losses amid AI doubts, govt. uncertainty
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - AerSale Corporation (NASDAQ:ASLE) saw its stock surge 8.2% after the aviation aftermarket company reported fourth-quarter revenue that beat analyst expectations, driven by strong growth across its business segments.
The company posted revenue of $94.7 million for the quarter, surpassing the consensus estimate of $90.74 million. Adjusted earnings per share came in at $0.09, in line with analyst projections.
Excluding flight equipment sales, AerSale’s fourth-quarter revenue jumped 35.5% YoY to $63.7 million, fueled by improved feedstock levels and robust commercial demand. The company’s Asset Management segment saw a 91.7% YoY increase in sales when excluding whole asset transactions.
"We concluded the year on a positive note, marked by significant growth across our business sectors despite a decrease in whole asset sales compared to the previous year," said Nick Finazzo, CEO of AerSale.
Gross margin expanded to 31.4% in Q4 2024 from 25.9% in the year-ago period, benefiting from a sales mix that included higher-margin whole engine and airframe used serviceable material.
For the full year 2024, AerSale reported revenue of $345.1 million, up 3.2% from $334.5 million in 2023. Adjusted EBITDA more than doubled to $33.4 million compared to $12.3 million the previous year.
The company ended 2024 with $142.8 million in liquidity, including $4.7 million in cash and $138.1 million available on its revolving credit facility.
Looking ahead, Finazzo noted, "We are starting 2025 with strong momentum, backed by a positive commercial backdrop and high demand for aircraft parts and services."
