ATSG Reports Record First Quarter 2022 Results

Rebound in Passenger Flying, Returns from Freighter Leasing Set Strong 2022 Pace

Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATSG), the leading provider of medium wide-body aircraft leasing, contracted air transportation, and related services, today reported consolidated financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022.

ATSG's first quarter 2022 results, as compared with the first quarter 2021, include:

First Quarter 2022 Results

  • Revenues of $486 million, up 29%
  • GAAP Earnings of $50 million, up 18%
  • Adjusted Earnings Per Share* of $0.56, nearly triple the year-earlier $0.20. Amounts for both years reflect additional shares for a change in GAAP presentation related to convertible notes
  • Adjusted Pretax Earnings* of $64 million, more than triple $20 million a year ago
  • Adjusted EBITDA* $158 million, up 49%
  • Adjusted Free Cash Flow* $89 million, up 13% and $406 million for the trailing twelve months

Rich Corrado, president and chief executive officer of ATSG, said, "The businesses of ATSG are all operating at pre-pandemic levels, with year-over-year gains in revenues and earnings from our airlines, led by Omni Air's passenger flying for military and commercial customers. Our employees again delivered outstanding service during the winter months. Our CMI customers have noticed, and are bringing more of the Boeing 767s they own or lease from others to our airlines to fly in their networks. CAM, our aircraft lessor, contributed to our earnings momentum for the quarter following last year’s record fifteen deployments of leased Boeing 767-300 freighters. To date, CAM has completed the first two of its projected eleven - nine 767-300s and two Airbus A321s - freighter lease deliveries in 2022. We have customer orders for all eleven 2022 deliveries as well as 19 deliveries in 2023, including fourteen 767-300s and five A321s."

* Adjusted Earnings Per Share, Adjusted Pretax Earnings, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP financial measures and are defined and reconciled to GAAP measures at the end of this release.

Segment Results

CAM

  • A larger fleet of externally leased Boeing 767s versus a year ago contributed to CAM’s $24 million first-quarter revenue gain. CAM also realized 2022 revenues from new pay-by-cycle engine support services with several lessees of its 767-200 freighters. Aircraft leasing and related revenues from external customers were up 26 percent.
  • CAM’s first-quarter pretax earnings increased 63 percent to $35 million versus the prior-year quarter.
  • Eighty-six CAM-owned 767 freighter aircraft were leased to external customers as of March 31, eleven more than a year ago. CAM expects to lease nine more 767 and two A321 freighters in 2022.
  • CAM purchased one 767-300 and two A321-200 passenger aircraft during the first quarter for conversion to freighters. Fifteen CAM-owned aircraft were in or awaiting conversion to freighters as of March 31, 2022, including three A321s.

ACMI Services

  • First-quarter revenues increased 34 percent to $330 million. Block hours for ATSG's airlines reflected sharply higher passenger flying and the benefit of ten more freighters in CMI service than a year ago. That includes one that was provided by a customer for ATI to operate during the quarter, for a total of seven such customer-provided aircraft at March 31, up from two a year ago.
  • First-quarter flight schedules were up sharply from a year ago, particularly for passenger charter operations. Revenue block hours increased 21 percent overall, including a 32 percent increase for passenger and combi flying and a 19 percent increase for cargo aircraft.
  • Pretax segment earnings increased $0.9 million from the first quarter of 2021, which included $28 million from government grants in support of Omni Air’s passenger operations. The company has not recognized any earnings from government grants in 2022.

2022 Outlook

ATSG continues to project a record $640 million in Adjusted EBITDA for 2022, up nearly $100 million from 2021. ATSG also projects 2022 capital spending of $590 million, including $200 million in sustaining capex and $390 million for growth, primarily funded by the strong Adjusted Free Cash Flow ATSG will generate this year.

The forecast assumes:

  • Dry leases of eleven more converted freighters, including nine 767-300s.
  • CMI assignments for nine more 767 freighter aircraft. That includes two that CAM will lease and another seven others that the owners or lessees of those aircraft are placing with our cargo airlines to operate.
  • Omni’s commercial charter and ATI’s combi flights continue to increase throughout 2022, as charter demand and airport access reflect diminished pandemic risk.

“Our particularly strong first quarter puts us ahead of our projected pace toward the Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Earnings Per Share targets we set in February, as our freighter leasing and airline businesses are already delivering strong returns this year,” Corrado said. “Demand for express-package air assets remains very high. We have customer orders for all 30 of the newly converted freighters we will lease this year and next year, and already have customer orders for the first 20 of 29 Airbus A330s we will start to acquire and convert next year, with leases beginning in 2024 through 2026. We are pleased to count ASL Aviation Holdings, a major source of cargo lift to integrated global networks, among our future lessees of Airbus cargo aircraft. ASL has ordered the first two of our A321 freighters in the second half of this year, a third in 2023 and two A330 freighters in 2024.”

Corrado said ATSG will steadily acquire passenger aircraft to fill the more than 80 passenger-to-freighter conversion slots it now controls. ATSG's current plan calls for all of the Boeing 767, Airbus A330, and best-in-class Airbus A321 aircraft that will enter those slots to be leased and delivered to customers by the end of 2027.

“Those investments will extend our global leadership in the leased midsize freighter market, support the growth of e-commerce driven express networks throughout the world, and create a growing stream of capital for allocation among a range of value-enhancing options,” he said.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release, including the attached tables, contains non-GAAP financial measures that management uses to evaluate historical results and project future results. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures assist in highlighting operational trends, facilitating period-over-period comparisons, and providing additional clarity about events and trends affecting core operating performance. Disclosing these non-GAAP measures provides insight to investors about additional metrics that management uses to evaluate past performance and prospects for future performance. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP. The historical non-GAAP financial measures included in this release are reconciled to GAAP earnings in tables included later in this release. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA because it is unable to predict with reasonable accuracy the value of certain adjustments. Certain adjustments can be significantly impacted by the re-measurements of financial instruments including stock warrants issued to a customer. The Company’s earnings on a GAAP basis and the non-GAAP adjustments for gains and losses resulting from the re-measurement of stock warrants, will depend on the future prices of ATSG stock, interest rates, and other assumptions which are highly uncertain.

Conference Call

ATSG will host an investor conference call on Friday, May 6, 2022, at 10 a.m. Eastern time to review its financial results for the first quarter of 2022. Participants should use conference passcode 96734798 after dialing (866) 374-5140 toll-free or (404) 400-0571 toll. The call will also be webcast live in listen-only mode via a link at www.atsginc.com using the same passcode. The conference call also will be available on webcast replay via the same site for 30 days.

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

ATSG's 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders will be held virtually on May 25, 2022, at 11 a.m. Eastern time.

Except for historical information contained herein, the matters discussed in this release contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. A number of important factors could cause Air Transport Services Group, Inc.'s ("ATSG's") actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are not limited to the following, which relate to the current COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic may (i) continue for a longer period, or its effect on commercial and military passenger flying may be more substantial than we currently expect; (ii) cause disruptions to our workforce and staffing capability, including through our compliance with federally mandated COVID-19 vaccination and testing requirements; (iii) cause disruptions in our ability to access airports and maintenance facilities; and (iv) adversely impact our customers' creditworthiness or the ability of our vendors and third-party service providers to maintain customary service levels. Other factors that could cause ATSG’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: (i) unplanned changes in the market demand for our assets and services, including the loss of customers or a reduction in the level of services we perform for customers; (ii) our operating airlines' ability to maintain on-time service and control costs; (iii) the cost and timing with respect to which we are able to purchase and modify aircraft to a cargo configuration; (iv) mark-to-market changes on certain financial instruments; (v) the number, timing, and scheduled routes of our aircraft deployments to customers; (vi) our ability to remain in compliance with key agreements with customers, lenders and government agencies; (vii) the impact of current supply chain constraints both within and outside the Unites States, which may be more severe or persist longer than we currently expect; (viii) the impact of a competitive labor market, which could restrict our ability to fill key positions; (ix) changes in general economic and/or industry-specific conditions; and (x) other factors that are contained from time to time in ATSG's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, including its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q.

Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operating results among periods. It is a metric that facilitates the comparison of financial results of underlying operations. Additionally, these non-GAAP adjustments are similar to the adjustments used by lenders in the Company’s senior secured credit facility to assess financial performance and determine the cost of borrowed funds. The adjustments also remove the non-service cost components of retiree benefit plans because they are not closely related to ongoing operating activities. The adjustments also excluded the recognition of government grants from adjusted earnings to improve comparability between periods. Management presents EBITDA from Continuing Operations, a commonly referenced metric, as a subtotal toward computing Adjusted EBITDA.

EBITDA from Continuing Operations is defined as Earnings (Loss) from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes plus net interest expense, depreciation, and amortization expense. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA from Continuing Operations less financial instrument revaluation gains or losses, non-service components of retiree benefit costs including pension plan settlements, amortization of warrant-based customer incentive costs recorded in revenue, recognition of government grants, impairment of aircraft and related assets, charge off of debt issuance costs upon debt restructuring and costs from non-consolidated affiliates.

Sustaining capital expenditures includes cash outflows for planned aircraft maintenance, engine overhauls, information systems and other non-aircraft additions to property and equipment. It does not include expenditures for aircraft acquisitions and related passenger-to-freighter conversion costs.

Cash receipts from government payroll support programs, which are included in operating cash flows, were $0 and $37.4 million for the three month periods ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Cash receipts from government payroll support programs were $45.6 million for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022.

Adjusted Free Cash Flow (non-GAAP) includes cash flow from operations net of expenditures for planned aircraft maintenance, engine overhauls and other non-aircraft additions to property and equipment. Management believes that adjusting GAAP operating cash flows is useful to evaluate the company's ability to generate cash for growth initiatives, debt service, cash returns for shareholders or other discretionary allocations of capital.

This presentation does not give effect to convertible note hedges the Company purchased having the same number of the Company's common shares, 8.1 million shares, and the same strike price of $31.90, that underlie the Convertible Notes. The convertible note hedges are expected to reduce the potential equity dilution with respect to the Company's common stock upon conversion of the Convertible Notes.

Adjusted Earnings from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered as alternatives to Earnings from Continuing Operations, Weighted Average Shares - diluted or Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted Earnings and Adjusted Earnings Per Share from Continuing Operations should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company's results as reported under GAAP.

1.

 

Under U.S. GAAP, certain warrants are reflected as a liability and unrealized warrant gains are typically removed from diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) calculations, while unrealized warrant losses are not removed because they are dilutive to EPS. For all periods presented, additional shares assumes that Amazon net settled its remaining warrants during each period.

2.

 

Application of accounting standard ASU No. 2020-06, "Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity" was adopted prospectively for EPS calculations on January 1, 2022 using the modified retrospective approach. The new GAAP requires convertible debt to be treated under the "if-convert method" for EPS. Periods prior to adoption include adjustments to reflect EPS as if the new standard had been applied historically for comparability purposes.

3.

 

Removes the amortization of the warrant-based customer incentives which are recorded against revenue over the term of the related aircraft leases and customer contracts.

4.

 

Removes the effects of government grants received under federal payroll support programs.

5.

 

Removes the non-service component of post-retirement costs and credits.

6.

 

Removes gains and losses from derivative interest rate instruments and warrant revaluations.

7.

 

Removes losses for the Company's non-consolidated affiliates.
