SEC filingAerospace Products revenue surged 86% YoY, driving cash to $510M, while inventory nearly doubled to $897M.
Cash and cash equivalents rose sharply to $509.9M from $115.1M at December 31, 2024, driven by proceeds from asset sales and the 2025 Partnership. Inventory nearly doubled to $897.2M, reflecting investment in engine modules and spare parts for the growing Aerospace Products segment. Total debt remained essentially flat at $3,496.2M gross ($3,446.7M net of issuance costs). Shareholders' equity improved to $252.5M from $81.4M, supported by retained earnings.
No significant purchase commitments were disclosed beyond normal operating lease revenue commitments of $675.8M in future minimum rents under existing operating leases. The company has contingent guarantees related to engine condition at lease-end, with a maximum undiscounted exposure of $43.0M, though not reasonably expected.
No share buybacks were reported. Quarterly ordinary dividend was increased to $0.35 per share (from $0.30), totaling $92.3M in ordinary dividends paid during the nine months. Preferred dividends amounted to $13.5M. Debt activity was limited to refinancing; $430M borrowed and repaid under the revolving credit facility. Capital expenditures totaled $507.3M, mainly for leasing equipment ($489.8M) and property/plant ($17.5M), representing 27.5% of revenue.
The Aerospace Products segment drove growth, with revenue surging 86% YoY to $1.37B, contributing 74% of total revenue. Segment net income reached $388.8M, up from $245.1M a year ago. Aviation Leasing revenue was flat at $472.2M, with net income of $225.1M (down from $154.9M due to higher impairment and other costs). Geographically, North America contributed 48% of total revenue, Europe 29%, and Asia 17%.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, CFO was -$131.7M, reflecting a net loss adjusted for non-cash items and working capital changes. Net income was $385.5M, but large gains on asset sales ($344.8M total) and unfavorable working capital (especially inventory buildup of $391.9M) drove the negative CFO. Capex of $507.3M was focused on leasing equipment, indicating continued fleet investment. Free cash flow (CFO minus capex) was -$639.0M, not explicitly stated but implied by the data. Investing activities generated $722.7M, primarily from asset sale proceeds of $1.38B, partly offset by acquisitions and capex. Financing activities used $196.2M, including $105.8M in dividends and $124.2M for preferred share redemption. The company's cash position increased by $394.8M. Overall, cash generation relies heavily on asset sales rather than operations, with significant working capital outflows.
