The Firm
We function as a platform for serving the business aviation aftermarket sector.
Our prime executives have on common over 30 years of expertise in plane and
engine (“Flight Gear”) administration, gross sales and upkeep companies, and are
supported by an skilled administration crew. We have now established a world
function constructed and totally built-in aviation firm targeted on offering
services and products that maximize the worth of Flight Gear within the center
to finish of its working life cycle.
We’re a worldwide supplier of aftermarket business plane, engines, and
their elements to passenger and cargo airways, leasing firms, authentic
gear producers (“OEM”), authorities and protection contractors, and
upkeep, restore and overhaul (“MRO”) service suppliers. We report our
actions in two enterprise segments: Asset Administration Options, comprised of
actions that extract worth from strategic asset acquisitions both as complete
property or by disassembling for used serviceable materials (“USM”), and TechOps,
comprised of MRO actions for plane and their parts, gross sales of
internally developed engineered options and different serviceable merchandise.
We deal with mid-life Flight Gear and monetize them by way of our Asset
Administration Options phase. Asset Administration Options’ actions embrace
monetization of property by way of the lease or sale of complete property, or by way of
disassembly actions in help of our USM-related actions. Our monetizing
companies have been developed to maximise returns on mid-life Flight Gear
all through their working life, together with realizing the very best
residual worth of Flight Gear at its retirement. We accomplish this by
using deep market and technical information associated to the administration of
Flight Gear gross sales, leasing and MRO companies. To extract worth from the
remaining flight time on complete property, we offer versatile short-term (typically
lower than 5 years) leasing options of Flight Gear to passenger and
cargo operators throughout the globe. As soon as the worth from the Flight Gear’s
flight time has been extracted, Flight Gear is taken into account to be at or close to
the top of its helpful life and is analyzed for return maximization as both
complete asset gross sales or disassembled on the market as USM elements. Revenues from this
phase are segregated between Plane and Engine relying on the asset sort
that generated the income. Lease revenues and the associated depreciation from
plane and engines put in on these aircrafts is acknowledged below the
Plane class. Revenues from gross sales of complete plane and associated price of
gross sales are allotted between the Plane and Engine classes based mostly on the
allotted price foundation of the asset bought.
Our TechOps phase supplies inner and third-party aviation companies,
together with internally developed engineered options, full heavy plane
upkeep and modification, part MRO, in addition to end-of-life disassembly
companies. Our MRO enterprise additionally engages in longer-term tasks akin to plane
modifications, cargo and tanker conversions of plane, and plane storage.
The TechOps phase additionally consists of MRO companies for touchdown gear, thrust
reversers, hydraulic methods, and different plane parts.
We make the most of these capabilities to help our clients’ Flight Gear, as
effectively as to keep up and enhance our personal Flight Gear, which is subsequently
bought or leased to our clients. These processes require a excessive diploma of

experience on every particular person plane or part that’s being serviced. Our
information of those processes permits us to help clients to adjust to
relevant regulatory and OEM necessities. A big quantity of expert
labor is required to help this course of, which the Firm has amassed
by way of its diversified choices.
Along with our plane and USM elements choices, we develop Engineered
Options consisting of Supplemental Sort Certificates (“STCs”) that may be
put in on current Flight Gear to enhance efficiency, adjust to
regulatory necessities, or enhance security. An instance of those options is the
AerSafe® product line, which we designed and obtained Federal Aviation
Administration (“FAA”) approval to promote as an answer for compliance with the
FAA’s gas tank flammability rules. These merchandise are proprietary in
nature and performance as non-OEM options to regulatory necessities and different
technical challenges, usually at lowered supply time and price for operators. In
order to develop these merchandise, we have interaction in analysis and growth
actions which might be expensed as incurred.
Continued impression of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to negatively have an effect on the worldwide economic system, our
enterprise and operations, provide chains, inflation, the labor market and the

to when business air visitors will totally return to and/or exceed pre-COVID-19
ranges. For extra data associated to the COVID-19 pandemic, see Half I,
Merchandise 1A. “Threat Elements” of this Annual Report.
Affect of Ukraine Battle and Russia Sanctions
In February of 2022, Russia invaded Ukraine and remains to be engaged in an energetic
battle in opposition to the nation. Because of this, governments within the European Union,
the USA, the UK, Switzerland, and different nations have
enacted sanctions in opposition to Russia and Russian pursuits. These sanctions embrace
controls on the export and re-export of sure items, provides, and
applied sciences, provide of plane and plane parts to Russian individuals or
to be used in Russia, topic to sure wind-down durations, and the imposition of
restrictions on doing enterprise with sure state-owned Russian clients and
different investments and enterprise actions in Russia. So as to adjust to
these sanctions, we ceased pursuing future enterprise in Russia and terminated our
three leases with operators doing enterprise in Russia, efficiently recovering
two plane with one engine nonetheless unrecovered. Attributable to continued uncertainty in
the power to get better this engine from Russia or to gather insurance coverage protection,
we have now totally impaired this asset. Though the present sanctions prohibit the
continuation of sure enterprise actions, the three leases referenced had been
contractually scheduled to run out in 2022 and subsequently could have no materials
impression on our enterprise or 2022 monetary situation. Whereas it’s tough to
predict the quick or long run implications of this battle and sanctions on
the worldwide economic system and the aviation trade, we intend to completely adjust to all
relevant sanctions and embargoes, and don’t anticipate the present state of affairs will
have a cloth hostile impact on our outcomes of operations.

Income Recognition
We measure income based mostly on the consideration laid out in a contract with a

authorities businesses. We acknowledge income when it satisfies a efficiency
obligation by transferring management over a services or products to a buyer. Our
efficiency obligations are happy over time as work progresses or at a degree
in time based mostly on switch of management of services and products to our clients.
For service income, we make the most of the enter technique of cost-to-cost to measure
progress and acknowledge income over time as this depicts when management of the
promised items or companies are transferred to the client. Income is
acknowledged based mostly on the connection of precise prices incurred up to now to the
estimated whole price at completion of the efficiency obligation. We make
sure judgments and estimates, together with estimated revenues and prices, as effectively
as inflation and the general profitability of the association. Key assumptions
concerned embrace future labor prices and efficiencies, overhead prices, and
final timing of product supply. Variations could happen between the judgments
and estimates made by administration and precise program outcomes.

plane and engines on the market or lease, price is decided utilizing the
particular identification technique whereby whole price is the fee paid, together with
sure asset acquisition prices that may be capitalized, to accumulate such property
as an entire.
Moreover, we buy sure complete plane and engines to disassemble and
provide materials for our engine and airframe USM stock. For plane and
engine elements that originate from such dismantled plane and engines, price is
decided utilizing a ratio calculated based mostly on the connection of the price of the
dismantled plane or engine on the time of buy to the whole estimated
gross sales worth of the dismantled plane or engine on the time of buy. On the
time of sale, this ratio is utilized to the sale value of every particular person
airframe and/or engine half to find out its allotted price. On the time of
sale, the sum of a person half’s allotted price and precise restore or
overhaul prices incurred signify the whole price for such half. Stock not
anticipated to be bought throughout the working cycle is classed as non-current
stock on the Consolidated Stability Sheets.
We consider this ratio periodically, and if needed, replace our gross sales
estimates and make potential changes to this ratio. Any quantities recognized
with an estimated gross sales worth decrease than the carrying worth is lowered to the
estimated gross sales worth on the time of the evaluation. Expenditures required for the
restore of engine and airframe elements are capitalized as stock and are
expensed as price of gross sales when related elements are bought. In the course of the 12 months ended
December 31, 2022, we adjusted the estimated return in sure product strains as
a results of new materials obtained into stock in addition to adjustments in demand
for sure product strains. In the course of the 12 months ended December 31, 2022, we recorded
a listing reserve of $1.8 million principally associated to adjustments in projected
demand for sure supplies pushed by altering market situations.
