Strong ATSG Growth Drives 2015 Earnings Gains
Network-Driven Demand Expected to Generate More Growth in 2016
WILMINGTON, OH, March 8, 2016 - Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATSG), the leading provider of medium wide-body aircraft leasing, air cargo transportation and related services, today reported consolidated financial results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.
For the fourth quarter of 2015 and for full year 2015, compared with prior-year amounts:
• | Revenues increased 15 percent to $181.6 million for the quarter, and were up 5 percent to $619.3 million for the year. Excluding revenues from reimbursable airline expenses, revenues increased 11 percent for the quarter and 6 percent for the year. Revenues for Cargo Aircraft Management, ATSG's aircraft leasing business, grew 7 percent year-over-year. |
• | Pre-tax earnings from continuing operations increased $9.4 million to $20.5 million for the quarter and to $62.6 million for 2015. Excluding the effect of 2014 pension settlement charges, and derivative transactions in each year, Adjusted Pre-tax Earnings increased 13 percent for the quarter and 7 percent for 2015. This and other adjusted amounts referenced below are non-GAAP financial measures. They are defined and reconciled to comparable GAAP results in tables at the end of this release. |
• | Net earnings from continuing operations were 21 cents per share diluted, or $13.3 million, for the fourth quarter, and $0.60 per share, or $39.2 million for the year. Those earnings increased 23 percent for the quarter and 8 percent for the year, excluding the 2014 pension settlement charges. Operating loss carryforwards for U.S. federal income tax purposes offset much of the company’s federal tax liabilities. Because of increasing tax depreciation on its aircraft growth investments, ATSG now does not expect to pay significant federal income taxes until 2019 at the earliest. |
• | Record Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization) for the fourth quarter and year. Fourth-quarter Adjusted EBITDA increased by 12 percent to $56.8 million. 2015 Adjusted EBITDA grew by 10 percent to $198.2 million. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure, defined and reconciled to comparable GAAP results in separate tables at the end of this release. |
• | Record operating cash flow for 2015 at $173.7 million. The 17 percent increase from 2014 stemmed largely from higher income and faster payments from customers. 2015 capital expenditures were $159 million, cash debt repayments in excess of borrowings were $24 million, and share repurchases were $10 million. |
Joe Hete, President and Chief Executive Officer of ATSG, said, “2015 was an outstanding year for ATSG, as our principal midsize freighter leasing and operating businesses made great strides toward expanding and extending customer relationships into new markets, all while generating record cash flow on $30 million in revenue growth. During the year, we also strengthened our balance sheet and repurchased 1 million of our common shares.
"Continued strong demand for our freighters in 2015 grew our externally leased portfolio of Boeing 767 aircraft by six to 30 aircraft at year-end, and our airlines finished the year with an exceptional holiday-season performance, with our fleet fully deployed," Hete added. "Demand in our midsize freighter market niche remains strong. We expect to maintain our focus on customer service and invest aggressively to capture and expand our growth opportunities, while maintaining our commitment to maximize shareholder returns.”
As noted above, GAAP net earnings for 2014 included a one-time settlement option offered to certain beneficiaries of qualified pension plans in December 2014, which led to pre-tax non-cash charges of $6.7 million to continuing operations and $5.0 million to discontinued operations in the fourth quarter of 2014. The pension settlements will reduce future pension obligations and expense volatility.
2015 Business Developments
ATSG completed several significant strategic and operating agreements that added value in 2015 or will deliver significant returns over the next several years. Those agreements and achievements include:
• | DHL relationship amendments effective in April that led to a doubling of our forward lease-months with DHL, and extend operating terms through March 2019. Our DHL-leased fleet has expanded from 13 in March 2015 to 17 in February 2016, including five 767-300 freighters, and we have more opportunities to deliver ATSG solutions for DHL’s global network, including two 767s now operating in DHL's Mideast network. |
• | New customer relationships including 767 deployments with Raya Airways in Asia, and deployments with West Atlantic in Europe, in which we are an investor and where three of our 767s now operate. |
• | Fleet expansion through four more Boeing 767-300s purchased in 2015. Three of them are already deployed with dry-lease customers and the fourth is due in April. Three will have eight-year lease terms. |
• | Pathway into the China market formed through a joint venture for a Tianjin-based regional air cargo network due to launch in the second half this year. We expect to benefit from the venture's reliance on our midsize freighter expertise as it pursues network opportunities throughout southeast Asia. |
• | U.S. trial air operation launched in September 2015, now with five dedicated 767 freighters and logistical support, achieved its performance objectives through the holiday season. Under automatic extension provisions, it now runs at least to mid-May this year. |
• | Multi-year heavy maintenance agreement with Delta Air Lines for its fleet of more than 80 Boeing 717 passenger aircraft began in October, validating both the 2014 expansion of our hangar capacity in Wilmington and our decades of experience servicing similar DC-9 airframes. |

Significant Developments:
• | CAM’s $1.9 million increase in fourth-quarter revenue came via growth with external customers. External revenues were $25.2 million for the quarter and $93.4 million for the year. Externally leased freighters increased to 30 from 24 during 2015. |
• | Pre-tax earnings increased $0.6 million for the quarter and $4.3 million for 2015. Increased lease revenues offset increases in depreciation and fleet transition costs. |
• | At December 31, 2015, CAM owned 57 Boeing cargo aircraft, 55 of which were in serviceable condition, including 47 767s, four 757-200 freighters and four 757-200 combi aircraft. CAM purchased four 767-300 aircraft in 2015, one in each quarter. Two were in service by year-end, and two were being modified from passenger to freighter configuration. |
• | One of the two 767s in mod at year-end was placed in service with DHL in February. The other is due to enter service with an existing customer in April. Both will be leased for eight-year terms. |

Significant Developments:
• | Airline services revenues were down slightly in the fourth quarter, compared to the prior year period. Expanded ACMI operations in the fourth quarter of 2015 did not entirely offset reductions in revenues from fewer aircraft in ACMI service than a year ago, and from changes in revenues under new operating agreements with DHL effective in April 2015. Airline services revenues grew on a consecutive-quarter basis from the third quarter, as all available aircraft were fully deployed in the fourth quarter. |
• | Pre-tax profitability improved sharply for the quarter and year. Principal factors were better utilization rates for a smaller ACMI fleet in 2015, including a 7 percent increase in block hours for the fourth quarter. Expenses increased for heavy and line maintenance, and flight crews, due to higher fleet utilization rates. |

Significant Developments:
• | External customer revenues from all other activities in the fourth quarter were $32.6 million, up 66 percent in the fourth quarter, and $93.9 million, up 30 percent for the year. Revenues increased from aircraft maintenance services, including a new agreement for airframe heavy maintenance with Delta Air Lines, and from postal center management and logistics services. Pre-tax earnings for 2015 reflects improved earnings from maintenance operations and logistics services, offset by a smaller actuarial credit in 2015 from prior-year changes in employee benefit plans. |
Outlook
ATSG currently expects to provide an outlook for its Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations for 2016 and anticipated aircraft deployments during its investor conference call at 10 a.m. Eastern time on March 9, 2016. Arrangements for accessing that call are referenced below.
ATSG currently projects 2016 capital expenditures of approximately $280 million, of which $205 million is related to fleet expansion, and the remainder is to maintain ATSG's current fleet and acquire other equipment. The 2016 fleet expansion spending will include costs to complete modification of two 767-300 aircraft purchased in 2015 for deployment in February and April this year. It will also include the purchase, modification and deployment of four more 767-300s in 2016, three of which have been acquired this year. One aircraft is undergoing modification for expected deployment in the third quarter, and three more are projected to complete modification and enter service by the end of 2016.
"ATSG's business model, and therefore its business outlook, is significantly different from others in the more global trade-sensitive portion of the air-cargo industry," Hete said. "Our model emphasizes dry leasing of efficient midsize freighters for long-term deployment in express and other regional networks. That means we are driven more by increasing global competition among manufacturers and retailers to provide best-in-class connections within their distribution networks, and to their end customers. We intend to remain the leading independent source of dedicated aircraft and service solutions to this expanding market segment, and will deploy capital as necessary to grow our position, while also continuing to allocate capital to share repurchases."
