AerSale sets $25M MRO revenue goal for 2026 and grows recurring lease portfolio
Management Insights: AerSale Corporation reported Q3 2025 revenue of $71.2 million, a decline attributed to the absence of engine or aircraft sales, but overall business grew 18.5% driven by leasing revenue and strong inventory. Adjusted EBITDA improved to $9.5 million, reflecting better margins from leasing and cost control efforts.
Strategic Shift: The company is focusing on recurring leasing revenue, balancing whole asset transactions with leased assets. Management expressed optimism about the 757 passenger to freighter conversion program and the completion of new MRO facilities, which are expected to drive revenue growth in 2026 and beyond.
Financial Performance: Q3 gross margin increased to 30.2%, with operating income at $2.9 million and a net loss of $0.1 million. The company ended the quarter with $58.9 million in liquidity, including cash and available credit.
Analyst Sentiment and Risks: Analysts displayed optimism regarding growth and operational execution, shifting focus from cost control to recurring revenue. However, challenges include limited supply of attractively priced feedstock and long engine repair turnaround times, alongside uncertainties related to regulatory deadlines for AerSafe.
