Tailwinds

Headwinds
- Timing of the Company’s revenue and operating results is inherently challenging due to the large portion of revenue driven by the Asset Management division and especially as it relates to volatility in flight equipment sales.
- Lower overall flight equipment sales in 2023 and delays of planned flight equipment sales at the end of the year materially impacted our fourth-quarter and full-year results.
- Flight equipment sales may significantly vary quarter-to-quarter
- Loss from operations was $1.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 down from $9.1 million income in the fourth quarter of 2022, principally due to lower flight equipment sales.
- Gross margin was 25.9% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to 36.0% in the year ago period, driven by a lower mix of higher margin flight equipment sales, many of which slipped into 2024.
