AerSale (NASDAQ:ASLE) Releases Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Expectations By $0.01 EPS

AerSale (NASDAQ:ASLE) announced its earnings results on Thursday. The company reported $0.16 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.15 by $0.01, FiscalAI reports. AerSale had a net margin of 1.73% and a return on equity of 2.10%. The business had revenue of $90.94 million during the quarter.

Here are the key takeaways from AerSale’s conference call:

• Adjusted profitability improved materially—Q4 adjusted EBITDA rose to $15.2M (up 17.1% YoY) and full-year adjusted EBITDA was $46.1M (up 38.2%), with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.33 versus $0.18 a year ago.
• The company is shifting toward more recurring, predictable revenue (USM, leasing, component MROs, AerSafe) and is bringing new capacity online—Millington heavy checks, a new 90,000 sq ft aerostructures facility, pneumatic expansion, and FAA approvals for 737 MAX/787 landing gear—saying total capacity potential now likely exceeds the prior ~$50M estimate.
• A near-term revenue tailwind from AerSafe is expected as operators prepare for the FAA FQIS AD compliance deadline (Nov 2026); management says AerSafe backlog already exceeds all of last year’s sales.
• Management remains disciplined on feedstock pricing amid a constrained, hyper‑competitive market—2025 feedstock acquisitions were $99.6M, win rates fell to ~6% for the year, and the company starts 2026 with about $364M of inventory and $71.6M of total liquidity.
• Revenue remains volatile due to flight-equipment sales variability and working-capital needs—Q4 included $20.9M of flight equipment and operating cash used was $23M (mainly for feedstock), exposing near-term cash flow and earnings volatility until newer recurring streams ramp.
