1.    Financial Statement Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of Air T, Inc. (“Air T”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “our”) have been prepared, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3.    Revenue Recognition

Substantially all of the Company’s non-lease revenue is derived from contracts with an initial expected duration of one year or less. As a result, the Company has applied the practical expedient to exclude consideration of significant financing components from the determination of transaction price, to expense costs incurred to obtain a contract, and to not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations.

The following is a description of the Company’s performance obligations:

Type of Revenue	Nature, Timing of Satisfaction of Performance Obligations, and Significant Payment Terms
Product Sales	The Company generates revenue from sales of various distinct products such as parts, aircraft equipment, jet engines, airframes, and scrap metal to its customers. A performance obligation is created when the Company accepts an order from a customer to provide a specified product. Each product ordered by a customer represents a performance obligation. The Company recognizes revenue when obligations under the terms of the contract are satisfied; generally, this occurs at a point-in-time upon shipment or when control is transferred to the customer. Transaction prices are based on contracted terms, which are at fixed amounts based on standalone selling prices. While the majority of the Company's contracts do not have variable consideration, for the limited number of contracts that do, the Company records revenue based on the standalone selling price less an estimate of variable consideration (such as rebates, discounts or prompt payment discounts). The Company estimates these amounts based on the expected incentive amount to be provided to customers and reduces revenue accordingly. Performance obligations are short-term in nature and customers are typically billed upon transfer of control. The Company records all shipping and handling fees billed to customers as revenue. The terms and conditions of the customer purchase orders or contracts are dictated by either the Company’s standard terms and conditions or by a master service agreement or by the contract.
Support Services	The Company provides a variety of support services such as aircraft maintenance and short-term repair services to its customers. Additionally, the Company operates certain aircraft routes on behalf of FedEx. A performance obligation is created when the Company agrees to provide a particular service to a customer. For each service, the Company recognizes revenues over time as the customer simultaneously receives the benefits provided by the Company's performance. This revenue recognition can vary from when the Company has a right to invoice to the output or input method depending on the structure of the contract and management’s analysis. For repair-type services, the Company records revenue over-time based on an input method of costs incurred to total estimated costs. The Company believes this is appropriate as the Company is performing labor hours and installing parts to enhance an asset that the customer controls. The vast majority of repair-services are short term in nature and are typically billed upon completion of the service. Some of the Company’s contracts contain a promise to stand ready as the Company is obligated to perform certain maintenance or administrative services. For most of these contracts, the Company applies the 'as invoiced' practical expedient as the Company has a right to consideration from the customer in an amount that corresponds directly with the value of the entity's performance completed to date. A small number of contracts are accounted for as a series and recognized equal to the amount of consideration the Company is entitled to less an estimate of variable consideration (typically rebates). These services are typically ongoing and are generally billed on a monthly basis.

In addition to the above type of revenues, the Company also has Leasing Revenue, which is in scope under Topic 842 (Leases) and out of scope under Topic 606 and Other Revenues (Freight, Management Fees, etc.) which are immaterial for disclosure under Topic 606.

5.    Income Taxes

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $0.2 million in income tax expense at an effective rate ("ETR") of (7.8)%. The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate excluding loss jurisdictions with no tax benefit and the application of discrete items, if any, for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 were the valuation allowance related to the Company’s U.S. consolidated group, Delphax Technologies, Inc. (“DTI”) and Landing Gear Support Services PTE LTD (“LGSS”), Delphax Solutions, Inc. ("DSI") and BCCM Advisors (Kenya) Limited ("BCCM Kenya"), and the foreign rate differentials for Air T’s operations located in the Netherlands and Puerto Rico.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.2 million at an ETR of 325.0%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated tax rate for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 were the change in valuation allowance related to the Company's subsidiaries in the corporate and other segment, DSI and DTI, and other capital losses, the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for the Company's captive insurance company subsidiary ("SAIC") under Section 831(b), the foreign rate differentials between the federal and foreign tax rates for Air T's ownership of foreign operations in Puerto Rico, the Netherlands, and Singapore, and the exclusion from the tax provision of the minority owned portion of the pretax income of Contrail.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $0.9 million in income tax expense at an ETR of (29.4)%. The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate excluding loss jurisdictions with no tax benefit and the application of discrete items, if any, for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, were the valuation allowance related to the Company’s U.S. consolidated group, DTI, LGSS, DSI and BCCM Kenya, and the foreign rate differentials for Air T’s operations located in the Netherlands and Puerto Rico.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.5 million at an ETR of 20.9%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022 were the change in valuation allowance related to DSI and DTI and other capital losses, the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for SAIC under Section 831(b), the foreign rate differentials between the federal and foreign tax rates for Air T's ownership of foreign operations in Puerto Rico, the Netherlands, and Singapore, and the exclusion from the tax provision of the minority owned portion of the pretax income of Contrail.

6.    Net Earnings (Loss) Per Share

Basic earnings (loss) per share has been calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to Air T, Inc. stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. For purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share, shares issuable under stock options were considered potential common shares and were included in the weighted average common shares unless they were anti-dilutive.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, 3,750 options were exercised under the Air T's 2012 Stock Option Plan at $7.04 per share, which was disclosed within our condensed consolidated statement of equity. As of September 30, 2023, all stock options under the Air T's 2012 Stock Option Plan have either been exercised or expired. Further, no options under the Air T's 2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan were exercisable as of December 31, 2023.

The computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share is as follows (in thousands, except for per share figures):

8.    Investments in Securities and Derivative Instruments

As part of the Company’s interest rate risk management strategy, the Company, from time to time, uses derivative instruments to minimize significant unanticipated earnings fluctuations that may arise from rising variable interest rate costs associated with existing borrowings (Air T Term Note A and Term Note D). To meet these objectives, the Company entered into interest rate swaps with notional amounts consistent with the outstanding debt to provide a fixed rate of 4.56% and 5.09%, respectively, on Term Notes A and D. The swaps mature in January 2028.

On August 31, 2021, Air T and Minnesota Bank & Trust ("MBT") refinanced Term Note A and fixed its interest rate at 3.42%. As a result of this refinancing, the Company determined that the interest rate swap on Term Note A was no longer an effective hedge. The Company will amortize the fair value of the interest-rate swap contract included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with Term Note A at the time of de-designation into earnings over the remainder of its term. In addition, any changes in the fair value of Term Note A's swap after August 31, 2021 are recognized directly into earnings. The remaining swap contract associated with Term Note D is designated as an effective cash flow hedging instrument in accordance with ASC 815.

On January 7, 2022, Contrail completed an interest rate swap transaction with Old National Bank ("ONB") with respect to the $43.6 million loan made to Contrail in November 2020 pursuant to the Main Street Priority Loan Facility as established by the U.S. Federal Reserve ("Contrail - Term Note G"). The purpose of the floating-to-fixed interest rate swap transaction was to effectively fix the loan interest rate at 4.68%. As of February 24, 2022, this swap contract has been designated as a cash flow hedging instrument and qualified as an effective hedge in accordance with ASC 815. During the period between January 7, 2022 and February 24, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.1 million in the consolidated statement of income (loss) due to the changes in the fair value of the instrument prior to the designation and qualification of this instrument as an effective hedge. After it was deemed an effective hedge, the Company recorded changes in the fair value of the instrument in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). On March 30, 2023, Contrail made a prepayment of $6.7 million on Contrail - Term Note G. As a result of this prepayment, the Company determined that the interest rate swap on Contrail - Term Note G was no longer an effective hedge. The Company will amortize the fair value of the interest-rate swap contract included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with Contrail - Term Note G at the time of de-designation into earnings over the remainder of its term. In addition, any changes in the fair value of Contrail - Term Note G's swap after March 30, 2023 are recognized directly into earnings.

For the swaps related to Air T Term Note D, the effective portion of changes in the fair value on this instrument is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into the consolidated statement of income (loss) as interest expense in the same period in which the underlying hedged transaction affects earnings. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $38.0 thousand and a gain of $2.0 thousand, net of tax, respectively. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $0.1 million and a gain of $1.4 million, net of tax, respectively, with prior year's gain inclusive of Contrail - Term Note G due to its effective hedge designation at the time. These gains and losses are included in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss) for changes in the fair value of these instruments. The interest rate swaps are considered Level 2 fair value measurements. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the fair value of these interest-rate swap contracts was an asset of $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, which is included within other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The Company also invests in exchange-traded marketable securities and accounts for that activity in accordance with ASC 321, Investments- Equity Securities. Marketable equity securities are carried at fair value, with changes in fair market value included in the determination of net income. The fair market value of marketable equity securities is determined based on quoted market prices in active markets and are therefore, considered Level 1 fair value measurements. During the three months ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a gross unrealized gain aggregating to $0.5 million and no gross unrealized loss. During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a gross unrealized gain aggregating to $1.4 million and a gross unrealized loss aggregating to $1.8 million. During the three months ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a gross unrealized gain aggregating to $0.3 million and a gross unrealized loss aggregating to $0.5 million. During the nine months ended December 31, 2022, the Company had a gross unrealized gain aggregating to $0.3 million and a gross unrealized loss aggregating to $0.8 million. These unrealized gains and losses are included in other income (loss) on the condensed consolidated statement of income (loss).

9.    Equity Method Investments

The Company’s investment in Lendway, Inc. - NASDAQ: LDWY ("Lendway"), formerly Insignia Systems, Inc. ("Insignia"), is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company elected a three-month lag upon adoption of the equity method. On August 2, 2023, Insignia reincorporated in the state of Delaware as Lendway, Inc. Subsequent to reincorporation, Lendway sold its legacy business on August 4, 2023 to pivot the business towards non-bank lending. As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned 0.5 million Lendway shares, representing approximately 27.8% of Lendway's outstanding shares. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, the Company's share of Lendway's net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, principally driven by the gain recognized on the aforementioned sale of Lendway's legacy business on August 4, 2023. The Company's net investment basis in Lendway is $2.4 million as of December 31, 2023.

The Company's 20.1% investment in Cadillac Casting, Inc. ("CCI") is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Due to the differing fiscal year-ends, the Company has elected a three-month lag to record the CCI investment at cost, with a basis difference of $0.3 million. The Company recorded income of $0.2 million and $1.5 million as its share of CCI's net income for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, along with a basis difference adjustment of $12.0 thousand and $37.0 thousand, respectively. The Company's net investment basis in CCI is $4.2 million as of December 31, 2023.

11.     Leases

The Company has operating leases for the use of real estate, machinery, and office equipment. The majority of our leases have a lease term of 2 to 5 years; however, we have certain leases with longer terms of up to 30 years. Many of our leases include options to extend the lease for an additional period.

The lease term for all of the Company’s leases includes the non-cancellable period of the lease, plus any additional periods covered by either a Company option to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, or an option to extend the lease controlled by the lessor that is considered likely to be exercised.

Payments due under the lease contracts include fixed payments plus, for some of our leases, variable payments. Variable payments are typically operating costs associated with the underlying asset and are recognized when the event, activity, or circumstance in the lease agreement on which those payments are assessed occurs. Our leases do not contain residual value guarantees.

The Company has elected to combine lease and non-lease components as a single component and not to recognize leases on the balance sheet with an initial term of one year or less.

The interest rate implicit in lease contracts is typically not readily determinable, and as such the Company utilizes the incremental borrowing rate to calculate lease liabilities, which is the rate incurred to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment.

The components of lease cost for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows (in thousands):

12.    Financing Arrangements

Borrowings of the Company and its subsidiaries are summarized below at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Effective May 26, 2023, Contrail entered into the Fourth Amendment to Master Loan Agreement and the Amended and Restated Promissory Note Term Note G with ONB. The purpose of the amended documents was to replace the one-month LIBOR based interest rate with a one-month SOFR-based rate. All other material terms of the obligations remain the same. The principal amount of the loan was $38.2 million on the effective date of the amended documents and the applicable interest rate is now the one-month SOFR based rate, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 3.11%.

Effective May 26, 2023, Contrail entered into the First Amendment to Supplement #8 to Master Loan Agreement, the Fifth Amendment to Supplement #2 to the Master Loan Agreement and the Fourth Amended and Restated Promissory Note Revolving Note with ONB. The purpose of the amended documents was to replace the LIBOR based interest rate with a one-month SOFR based rate. All other material terms of the obligation remain the same. The maximum principal amount of the revolving note remains at $25.0 million and the applicable interest rate is now the one-month SOFR-based rate, as defined in the loan agreement, plus 3.56%.

On May 26, 2023, AirCo 1 executed an Amendment to Main Street Priority Loan Facility Term Loan Agreement with Park State Bank ("PSB"). The Amendment replaces the three-month LIBOR benchmark applicable to the loan with a three-month SOFR based rate, which is defined as the three-month SOFR rate plus 3.26%. The principal amount of the loan was $6.4 million on the effective date of the amended agreement. The interest rate is to be determined on the 11th day of each month on the amounts that remain outstanding, commencing June 11, 2023.

On June 23, 2023, the Company and MBT entered into amendments to the MBT revolving credit agreement and related promissory note. The amendments extended the maturity date of the credit facility to August 31, 2024 and include the following changes:

1. A $2.0 million seasonal increase in the maximum amount available under the facility. The maximum amount of the facility will now increase to $19.0 million between May 1 and November 30 of each year and will decrease to $17.0 million between December 1 and April 30 of each year;

2.The reference rate for the interest rate payable on the revolving facility will change from Prime to SOFR, plus a spread. The exact spread over SOFR will change every September 30 and March 31 based on the Company calculated funded debt leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by EBITDA). Depending on the result of the calculation, the interest rate spread applicable to the facility will range between 2.25% and 3.25%;

3.The unused commitment fee on the revolving credit facility will increase from 0.11% to 0.15%; and,

4.The covenant restricting the Company’s use of funds for “Other Investments” was revised to limit the Company to $5.0 million of “Other Investments” per year.

On September 5, 2023, Contrail entered into the Sixth Amendment to Supplement #2 to Master Loan Agreement and the Fifth Amended and Restated Promissory Note with ONB. The principal purpose of the amended documents was to extend the maturity date of the revolving $25.0 million facility to November 24, 2025 or such earlier date on which the revolving note becomes due and payable pursuant to the supplement or the master loan agreement. The material terms of the revolving facility remain the same, including the payment terms and interest rate except that the change in control event of default provision was revised to provide as follows: "(h) Change in control of operations. If the CEO Joe Kuhn, or a CEO acceptable to ONB, in its reasonable discretion, has its employment with Contrail terminated for any reason, or ceases to oversee the day-to-day operations of Contrail."

The revolving line of credit at Air T with MBT ("Revolver - MBT") has $6.5 million outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and matures on August 31, 2024. We are currently seeking to refinance the Revolver - MBT prior to its maturity date; however, there is no assurance that we will be able to execute this refinancing or, if we are able to refinance this obligation, that the terms of such refinancing would be as favorable as the terms of our existing credit facility.

15.    Commitments and Contingencies

Contrail Put/Call Option

Contrail entered into an Operating Agreement (the “Contrail Operating Agreement”) in connection with the acquisition of Contrail providing for the governance of and the terms of membership interests in Contrail and including put and call options with the Seller to require Contrail to purchase all of the Seller’s equity membership interests in Contrail commencing on the fifth anniversary of the acquisition, which occurred on July 18, 2021. The Company has presented this redeemable non-controlling interest in Contrail ("Contrail RNCI") between the liabilities and equity sections of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. The Contrail RNCI is a Level 3 fair value measurement that is valued at $7.6 million as of December 31, 2023. The change in the redemption value compared to March 31, 2023 is a decrease of $0.4 million, which was driven by the decrease in fair value of $0.5 million and distributions to non-controlling interest of $0.2 million, partially offset by net income attributable to non-controlling interest of $0.3 million. If either side were to exercise the option, the Company anticipates that the price would approximate the fair value of the Contrail RNCI, as determined on the transaction date. The Company currently expects that it would fund any required payment from cash provided by operations.

Contrail Asset Management, LLC and CJVII, LLC

On May 5, 2021, the Company formed an aircraft asset management business called Contrail Asset Management, LLC ("CAM"), and an aircraft capital joint venture called Contrail JV II LLC ("CJVII"). The new venture focuses on acquiring commercial aircraft and jet engines for leasing, trading and disassembly. The joint venture, CJVII, was formed as a series LLC ("CJVII Series"). It consists of several individual series that target investments in current generation narrow-body aircraft and engines, building on Contrail’s origination and asset management expertise. CAM was formed to serve two separate and distinct functions: 1) to direct the sourcing, acquisition and management of aircraft assets owned by CJVII Series as governed by the Management Agreement between CJVII and CAM ("Asset Management Function"), and 2) to directly invest into CJVII Series alongside other institutional investment partners ("Investment Function").

CAM has two classes of equity interests: 1) common interests and 2) investor interests. Neither interest votes as the entity is operated by a Board of Directors. The common interests of CAM relate to its Asset Management Function. The investor interests of CAM relate to the Company’s and Mill Road Capital’s (“MRC”) investments through CAM into CJVII (the Investment Function) and ultimately into the individual CJVII Series. With regard to CAM’s common interests, the Company currently owns 90% of the economic common interests in CAM, and MRC owns the remaining 10%. MRC invested $1.0 million directly into CAM in exchange for 10% of the common interests. For the Asset Management Function, CAM receives origination fees, management fees, consignment fees (where applicable) and a carried interest from the direct investors into each CJVII Series. Such fee income and carried interest will be distributed to the Company and MRC in proportion to their respective common interests.

For its Investment Function, CAM's initial commitment to CJVII was approximately $51.0 million. The Company and MRC have commitments to CAM in the respective amounts of $7.0 million and $44.0 million. These represent the investor interests of CAM, separate and distinct from the common interests. Any investment returns on CAM’s investor interests are shared pro-rata between the Company and MRC for each individual investment at the CJVII Series. As of March 31, 2023, Air T has fulfilled its Investment Function initial commitment to CAM.

Per its Operating Agreement, CAM is comprised of only two Series: the Onshore and the Offshore Series. Participation in each is determined solely based on whether a potential investment at the CJVII Series is a domestic (Onshore) or international (Offshore) investment. As of December 31, 2023, for its Investment Function, the Company has contributed $1.0 million to CAM’s Onshore Series and $7.0 million to CAM’s Offshore Series.

The Company determined that CAM is a variable interest entity and that the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This is primarily the result of the Company's conclusion that it does not control CAM’s Board of Directors, which has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of CAM. Accordingly, the Company does not consolidate CAM and has determined to account for this investment using equity method accounting. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's net investment basis in CAM is $4.9 million.

In connection with the formation of CAM, MRC has a fixed price put option of $1.0 million to sell its common equity in CAM to the Company at each of the first three (3) anniversary dates. At the later of (a) five (5) years after execution of the agreement and (b) distributions to MRC per the waterfall equal to their capital contributions, Air T has a call option and MRC has a put option on the MRC common interests in CAM. If either party exercises the option, the exercise price will be fair market value if Air T pays in cash at closing or 112.5% of fair market value if Air T opts to pay in three (3) equal annual installments after exercise. With respect to the secondary put and call option, as it is priced at fair value, the Company also determined that there is no potential loss or gain upon exercise that would need to be recognized.

Shanwick Put/Call Option

In February 2022, in connection with the Company's acquisition of GdW, a consolidated subsidiary of Shanwick, the Company entered into a shareholder agreement with the 30.0% non-controlling interest owners of Shanwick, providing for the governance of and the terms of membership interests in Shanwick. The shareholder agreement includes the Shanwick Put/Call Option with regard to the 30.0% non-controlling interest. The non-controlling interest holders are the executive management of the underlying business. The Shanwick Put/Call Option grants the Company an option to purchase the 30.0% interest at the call option price that equals to the average EBIT over the 3 Financial Years prior to the exercise of the Call Option multiplied by 8. In addition, the Shanwick Put/Call Option also grants the non-controlling interest owners an option to require the Company to purchase from them their respective ownership interests at the Put Option price, that is equal to the average EBIT over the 3 Financial Years prior to the exercise of the Put Option multiplied by 7.5. The Call Option and the Put Option may be exercised at any time from the fifth anniversary of the shareholder agreement and then only at the end of each fiscal year of Air T ("Shanwick RNCI").

The Company has presented this redeemable non-controlling interest in Shanwick between the liabilities and equity sections of the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur and adjust the carrying amount of the instrument to equal the estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period. As the Shanwick RNCI will be redeemed at established multiples of EBIT, it is considered redeemable at other than fair value. Changes in its estimated redemption value are recorded on our consolidated statements of operations within non-controlling interests. The Shanwick RNCI's estimated redemption value is $5.5 million as of December 31, 2023, which was comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Shanwick RNCI
Beginning Balance as of April 1, 2023	$	4,738
Contribution from non-controlling members	—
Distribution to non-controlling members	(326)
Net income attributable to non-controlling interests	326
Redemption value adjustments	782
Ending Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	5,520

2020 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan

On December 29, 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors unanimously approved the Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"), which was subsequently approved by the Company's stockholders at the August 18, 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The total number of shares authorized under the Plan is 420,000. Among other instruments, the Plan permits the Company to grant stock option awards. As of December 31, 2023, options to purchase up to 261,000 shares are outstanding under the Plan. Vesting of options is based on the grantee meeting specified service conditions. Furthermore, the number of vested options that a grantee is able to exercise, if any, is based on the Company’s stock price as of the vesting dates specified in the respective option grant agreements. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, total compensation cost recognized under the Plan was $79.0 thousand and $0.2 million, respectively. No options were exercisable as of December 31, 2023

16.     Guarantees

Financial Guarantees

Our financial guarantees consist of debt obligations of certain CJVII Series. Expiration dates vary through 2028, and guarantees will terminate on payment and/or cancellation of the underlying obligation. A payment by us would be triggered by failure of the series to fulfill its obligation covered by the guarantee. We are entitled to recover from amounts paid by us under the guarantee by other unrelated institutional investment partners ("CJVII Series investors"), up to their pro rata ownership of the CJVII Series. The maximum potential payments for financial guarantees were $12.4 million and $13.6 million as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively.

Financial guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. Subsequent to initial recognition, the guarantee liability is adjusted at each reporting period to reflect the current estimate of expected payments resulting from possible default events over the remaining life of the guarantee.

The financial guarantees were made only for the convenience of other CJVII Series investors in the process of obtaining third-party debt to fund acquisitions of aircraft assets. The guarantees did not provide any value to the debt and, as such, the Company did not record a liability related to these financial guarantees.

Nonfinancial Guarantees

From time to time, we may issue guarantees or indemnifications to third parties assuring performance of lease agreements pertaining to aircraft assets owned by certain CJVII Series ("nonfinancial guarantees"). Air T's performance under these guarantees would be triggered by failure of the series to perform in accordance with the terms stated in the lease agreements.

Nonfinancial guarantees and indemnifications are recorded at fair value at their inception. We regularly review our performance risk under these arrangements, and in the event it becomes probable that we will be required to perform under a guarantee or indemnity, the amount of probable payment will be recorded.

The maximum potential payments for nonfinancial guarantees were $4.5 million and $4.0 million at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. The carrying value of recorded liabilities related to nonfinancial guarantees was $0 at both December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This section entitled "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" (“MD&A”) is intended to provide a reader of our financial statements with a narrative from the perspective of management on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and certain other factors that may affect our future results. The MD&A provides a narrative analysis explaining the reasons for material changes in the Company’s (i) financial condition during the period from the most recent fiscal year-end, March 31, 2023, to and including December 31, 2023 and (ii) results of operations during the current fiscal period(s) as compared to the corresponding period(s) of the preceding fiscal year.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the MD&A, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements reflect our current views with respect to future events and financial performance. The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “project,” “should,” "will," "continue" and similar expressions are intended to identify “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any and all forecasts and projections in this document are “forward looking statements” and are based on management’s current expectations or beliefs. From time to time, we may also provide oral and written forward-looking statements in other materials we release to the public, such as press releases, presentations to securities analysts or investors, or other communications by us. Any or all of our forward-looking statements in this report and in any public statements we make could be materially different from actual results. Accordingly, we wish to caution investors that any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us are subject to uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such statements, because of, among other things, potential risks and uncertainties, such as:

•An inability to finance our operations through bank or other financing or through the sale of issuance of debt or equity securities;

•Economic and industry conditions in the Company’s markets;

•The risk that contracts with FedEx could be terminated or adversely modified;

•The risk that the number of aircraft operated for FedEx will be reduced;

•The risk that GGS customers will defer or reduce significant orders for deicing equipment;

•The impact of any terrorist activities on United States soil or abroad;

•The Company’s ability to manage its cost structure for operating expenses, or unanticipated capital requirements, and match them to shifting customer service requirements and production volume levels;

•The Company's ability to meet debt service covenants and to refinance existing debt obligations;

•The risk of injury or other damage arising from accidents involving the Company’s overnight air cargo operations, equipment or parts sold and/or services provided;

•Market acceptance of the Company’s commercial and military equipment and services;

•Competition from other providers of similar equipment and services;

•Changes in government regulation and technology;

•Changes in the value of marketable securities held as investments;

•Mild winter weather conditions reducing the demand for deicing equipment;

•Market acceptance and operational success of the Company’s commercial jet engines and parts segment or its aircraft asset management business and related aircraft capital joint venture; and

•Despite our current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt, which could further exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

We also wish to caution investors that other factors might in the future prove to be important in affecting our results of operations. New factors emerge from time to time; it is not possible for management to predict all of such factors, nor can it assess the impact of each such factor on the business or the extent to which any factor, or a combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

25

We undertake no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1 of Part 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 (including the information presented therein under Risk Factors), as well other publicly available information.

Overnight Air Cargo	$	29,018	$	21,831	$	7,187	32.9	%
Ground Equipment Sales	8,441		16,147		(7,706)		(47.7)	%

	$	63,756	$	61,396	$	2,360	3.8	%

Revenues from the air cargo segment for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 increased by $7.2 million (32.9%) compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase was principally attributable to higher administrative fees due to increased fleet, higher pass-through revenues from FedEx, higher maintenance and outside customer revenue, and the WASI acquisition mentioned in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report, which contributed $2.0 million of revenues to the current year quarter but none in the prior year comparable period.

The ground equipment sales segment contributed approximately $8.4 million and $16.1 million to the Company’s revenues for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively, representing a $7.7 million (47.7%) decrease in the current quarter. The decrease was primarily driven by the lower number of deicing trucks sold in the current year quarter compared to prior year's comparable quarter. At December 31, 2023, the ground equipment sales segment’s order backlog was $6.2 million compared to $12.5 million at December 31, 2022.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $24.1 million of revenues in the quarter ended December 31, 2023 compared to $21.7 million in the comparable prior year quarter, which is an increase of $2.4 million (11.1%). The increase in the current quarter compared to prior year comparable quarter was primarily driven by higher pass-through revenue at Worthington Aviation, LLC ("Worthington"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, in transactions that Worthington acted as the principal of the consignment agreements ("pass-through consignment revenue").

Revenues from the corporate and other segment for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 increased by $0.5 million (28.3%) compared to the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. The increase was primarily attributable to increased software subscriptions at Shanwick.

Following is a table detailing operating income (loss) by segment during the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Change
	2023		2022
Overnight Air Cargo	$	1,594	$	1,009	$	585
Ground Equipment Sales	(522)		1,093		(1,615)
Commercial Jet Engines and Parts	(627)		733		(1,360)
Corporate and Other	(2,053)		(2,700)		647
	$	(1,608)	$	135	$	(1,743)

Consolidated operating loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $1.6 million, compared to an operating income of $0.1 million in the comparable quarter of the prior year.

The air cargo segment's operating income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 was $1.6 million compared to operating income of $1.0 million in the same quarter in the prior fiscal year. This increase was primarily attributable to the increased revenue noted in the segment revenue discussion above.

The ground equipment sales segment's operating loss for the quarter ended December 31, 2023 was $0.5 million compared to the prior year comparable quarter's operating income of $1.1 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to the decreased sales noted in the segment revenue discussion above.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment generated an operating loss of $0.6 million in the current year quarter compared to an operating income of $0.7 million in the prior year quarter. The change was primarily attributable to lower component sales at Contrail in the current quarter, partially offset by higher revenue driven by pass-through consignment revenue at Worthington compared to the prior year comparable quarter.

The corporate and other segment's operating loss for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 was $2.1 million compared to the prior year comparable quarter's operating loss of $2.7 million. The decrease in operating loss was attributable to increased sales noted in the segment revenue discussion above in addition to lower general and administrative expenses.

Following is a table detailing non-operating income (expense) during the three months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same quarter in the prior fiscal year (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended December 31,				Change
	2023		2022
Interest expense	$	(1,528)	$	(2,204)	$	676
Income from equity method investments	1,038		2,118		(1,080)
Other	142		(97)		239
	$	(348)	$	(183)	$	(165)

The Company had a net non-operating loss of $0.3 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2023, compared to net non-operating loss of $0.2 million in the prior year quarter. The increase in non-operating loss was primarily driven by the decrease of net income allocated to the Company from equity method investments, partially offset by lower interest expense in the current year quarter.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded $0.2 million in income tax expense at an ETR of (7.8)%. The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate excluding loss

jurisdictions with no tax benefit and the application of discrete items, if any, for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2023 were the valuation allowance related to the Company's U.S. consolidated group, DTI, LGSS, DSI, BCCM Kenya, and the foreign rate differentials for Air T's operations located in the Netherlands and Puerto Rico.

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.2 million at an ETR of 325.0%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated tax rate for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21.0% and the Company's effective tax rate for the three-month period ended December 31, 2022 were the change in valuation allowance related to the Company's subsidiaries in the corporate and other segment, DSI and DTI, other capital losses, the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for SAIC under Section 831(b), the foreign rate differentials between the federal tax rates for Air T's ownership of foreign operations in Puerto Rico, the Netherlands, and Singapore, and the exclusion from the tax provision of the minority owned portion of the pretax income of Contrail.

First Nine Months of Fiscal 2024 Compared to First Nine Months of Fiscal 2023

Following is a table detailing revenue by segment, net of intercompany during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same period in the prior fiscal year (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended December 31,				Change
	2023		2022
Overnight Air Cargo	$	84,944	$	64,464	$	20,480	31.8	%
Ground Equipment Sales	32,474		39,981		(7,507)		(18.8)	%
Commercial Jet Engines and Parts	90,463		63,577		26,886		42.3	%

	$	214,154	$	172,946	$	41,208	23.8	%

Revenues from the air cargo segment for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $20.5 million (31.8%) compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was principally attributable to higher administrative fees due to increased fleet, higher pass-through revenues from FedEx and outside customer revenue, and the WASI acquisition mentioned in Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this report, which contributed $9.0 million of revenues to the current year nine-month period but none in the prior year comparable nine-month period.

The ground equipment sales segment's revenue for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 was $32.5 million compared to $40.0 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. The decrease was primarily driven by the lower number of deicing trucks sold in the current year compared to the prior year.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment contributed $90.5 million of revenues in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 compared to $63.6 million in the comparable prior year nine months period. The increase was primarily driven by Contrail's higher component part sales in the first six months of the current fiscal year and Worthington's higher pass-through consignment revenue in the current year quarter. In addition, Contrail also sold three engines at zero profit margin in the current year as they had previously written these assets down to the sales price in the prior year.

Revenues from the corporate and other segment in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 increased by $1.3 million (27.4%) compared to the nine months ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable increased software subscriptions at Shanwick.

Following is a table detailing operating income (loss) by segment during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same nine months in the prior fiscal year (in thousands):

Consolidated operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $189.0 thousand compared to an operating income of $1.1 million for the comparable nine months of the prior year.

The air cargo segment's operating income for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $5.6 million compared to operating income of $2.9 million in the prior year comparable period primarily due to the revenue increase noted above.

The ground equipment sales segment's operating loss for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 was $0.6 million compared to operating income of $3.1 million in the prior year comparable period was primarily attributable to the decline in sales noted above.

The commercial jet engines and parts segment generated operating income of $2.0 million in the current year nine-month period compared to operating income of $3.6 million in the prior year nine-month period. The decrease was primarily attributable to Contrail's zero profit margin engine sales mentioned above, in addition to a lower profit margin on component sales in the current nine-month period compared to the prior year comparable period.

The corporate and other segment's operating loss for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 was $7.1 million compared to an operating loss of $8.5 million in the prior year comparable period. The decrease in operating loss was primarily driven by the revenue increase noted above in addition to lower general and administrative expenses.

Following is a table detailing non-operating income (expense) during the nine months ended December 31, 2023 compared to the same nine months in the prior fiscal year (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended December 31,				Change
	2023		2022
Interest expense	$	(5,189)	$	(6,021)	$	832
Income from equity method investments	2,477		2,917		(440)
Other	8		(608)		616
	$	(2,704)	$	(3,712)	$	1,008

The Company had a net non-operating loss of $2.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 compared to a net non-operating loss of $3.7 million in the prior year nine-month period. The decrease in non-operating loss was primarily driven by a $0.8 million decrease in interest expense and a $0.6 million fluctuation in foreign currency exchange rates, partially offset by a $0.4 million decrease in net income allocated to the Company from equity method investments.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded income tax expense of $0.9 million at an ETR of (29.4)%. The Company has computed the provision for income taxes based on the estimated annual effective tax rate excluding loss jurisdictions with no tax benefit and the application of discrete items, if any, for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 were the valuation allowance related to the Company's U.S. consolidated group, DTI, LGSS, DSI and BCCM Kenya, and the foreign rate differentials for Air T's operations located in the Netherlands and Puerto Rico.

During the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded income tax benefit of $0.5 million at an ETR of 20.9%. The Company records income taxes using an estimated annual effective tax rate for interim reporting. The primary factors contributing to the difference between the federal statutory rate of 21% and the Company's effective tax rate for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2022 were the change in valuation allowance related to Delphax and other capital losses, the estimated benefit for the exclusion of income for SAIC under Section 831(b), the foreign rate differentials between the federal and foreign tax rates for Air T's ownership of foreign operations in Puerto Rico, the Netherlands, and Singapore, and the exclusion from the tax provision of the minority owned portion of the pretax income of Contrail.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s significant accounting policies are fully described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements and in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2023. The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires the use of estimates and assumptions to determine certain assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. Management bases these estimates and assumptions upon the best information available at the time of the estimates or assumptions. The Company’s estimates and assumptions could change materially as conditions within and beyond our control change. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from estimates. There were no significant changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates during the three-months ended December 31, 2023.

Seasonality

29

The ground equipment sales segment business has historically been seasonal, with the revenues and operating income typically being lower in the first and fourth fiscal quarters as commercial deicers are typically delivered prior to the winter season. Other segments have typically not experienced material seasonal trends.

Systems and Network Security

Although we have employed significant resources to develop our security measures against breaches, our cybersecurity measures may not detect or prevent all attempts to compromise our systems, including hacking, viruses, malicious software, break-ins, phishing attacks, security breaches or other attacks and similar disruptions that may jeopardize the security of information stored in and transmitted by our systems. Breaches of our cybersecurity measures could result in unauthorized access to our systems, misappropriation of information or data, deletion or modification of client information or other interruption to our business operations. As techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to sabotage systems change frequently and may not be known until launched against us or our third-party service providers, we may be unable to anticipate, or implement adequate measures to protect against these attacks. If we are unable to avert these attacks and security breaches in the future, we could be subject to significant legal and financial liability, our reputation would be harmed and we could sustain substantial revenue loss from lost sales and customer dissatisfaction. We may not have the resources or technical sophistication to anticipate or prevent rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks. Cyber-attacks may target us or other participants, or the communication infrastructure on which we depend. Actual or anticipated attacks and risks may cause us to incur significantly higher costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and network protection technologies, train employees, and engage third-party experts and consultants. Cybersecurity breaches would not only harm our reputation and business, but also could materially decrease our revenue and net income.

Supply Chain, Inflation, and Interest Rates

Future economic developments such as inflation and increased interest rates as well as further business issues present uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition and results of operations. Supply chain disruption caused an increase in material costs, which directly impacted the performance of our ground equipment sales segment. We expect that issues caused by economic and business issues will continue beyond fiscal 2024. The fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact these issues on economic and market conditions and our businesses in particular, and, as a result, presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to us and our results of operations. The Company believes the estimates and assumptions underlying the Company’s consolidated financial statements are reasonable and supportable based on the information available as of December 31, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2023, the Company held approximately $5.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The Company also held $1.5 million in restricted investments held as statutory reserve of SAIC. The Company has an aggregate of approximately $35.5 million in available funds under its lines of credit as of December 31, 2023.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s working capital amounted to $44.5 million, a decrease of $7.7 million compared to March 31, 2023.

As mentioned in Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q, on June 23, 2023, the Company and MBT entered into amendments to the MBT revolving credit agreement and related promissory note. The amendments extended the maturity date of the credit facility to August 31, 2024 and include the following changes:

1.A $2.0 million seasonal increase in the maximum amount available under the facility. The maximum amount of the facility will now increase to $19.0 million between May 1 and November 30 of each year and will decrease to $17.0 million between December 1 and April 30 of each year;

2.The reference rate for the interest rate payable on the revolving facility will change from Prime to SOFR, plus a spread. The exact spread over SOFR will change every September 30 and March 31 based on the Company calculated funded debt leverage ratio (defined as total debt divided by EBITDA). Depending on the result of the calculation, the interest rate spread applicable to the facility will range between 2.25% and 3.25%;

3.The unused commitment fee on the revolving credit facility will increase from 0.11% to 0.15%; and,

4.The covenant restricting the Company’s use of funds for “Other Investments” was revised to limit the Company to $5.0 million of “Other Investments” per year.

As mentioned in Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q, in 2016, Contrail entered into an Operating Agreement with the Seller providing for the put and call options with regard to the 21.0% non-controlling interest retained by the Seller. The Seller is the founder of Contrail and its current Chief Executive Officer. The Put/Call Option permits the Seller or the Company to require Contrail Aviation to purchase all of the Seller’s equity membership interests in Contrail Aviation commencing on July 18, 2021. If either side were to exercise the option, the Company anticipates that the price would approximate the fair value of the Contrail RNCI, as determined on the transaction date. The Company currently expects that it would fund any required payment from cash provided by operations.

30

As mentioned in Note 15 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report, on May 5, 2021, the Company formed CAM and acquired its ownership interest in CAM. The operations of CAM are not consolidated into the operations of the Company. For its Investment Function (as defined in Note 15 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part II, Item 8 of this report), CAM's initial commitment to CJVII was approximately $51.0 million. The Company and MRC have commitments to CAM in the respective amounts of $7.0 million and $44.0 million. As of March 31, 2023, the Company has fulfilled its capital commitments to CAM.

On March 22, 2023, Contrail entered into the First Amendment to Second Amendment to Master Loan Agreement and Third Amendment to Master Loan Agreement ("the Amendment") with ONB whereby, among other things, in exchange for a $20 million principal prepayment of Term Note G, Contrail obtained a waiver of the debt service coverage ratio covenant. $6.7 million of the $20.0 million prepayment was paid on March 30, 2023 and the remaining $13.3 million payment was paid in September 2023.

As mentioned in Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q, on September 5, 2023, Contrail entered into the Sixth Amendment to Supplement #2 to Master Loan Agreement and the Fifth Amended and Restated Promissory Note with ONB. The principal purpose of the amended documents was to extend the maturity date of the revolving $25.0 million facility to November 24, 2025 or such earlier date on which the revolving note becomes due and payable pursuant to the supplement or the master loan agreement.

As mentioned in Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q, the Revolver - MBT has $6.5 million outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and matures on August 31, 2024. We are currently seeking to refinance the Revolver - MBT prior to its maturity date; however, there is no assurance that we will be able to execute this refinancing or, if we are able to refinance this obligation, that the terms of such refinancing would be as favorable as the terms of our existing credit facility.

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming that it will continue as a going concern, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business.

As previously reported in the Company's September 30, 2023 Form 10-Q, a condition existed that raised substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, for which management's plans alleviated such condition. As of the issuance of this report, management has executed their plans and such condition no longer exists. As described in Note 12 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q, the Company successfully raised $7.3 million of additional funds via sales of our TruPs through the Company's at-the-market offering that commenced on October 18, 2023 and through various private placements. In addition, the Company also implemented cost reduction measures and liquidated select investments as well as reduced capital expenditures.

The Company believes they have sufficient cash on hand and available liquidity, to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for at least 12 months following the date these financial statements are issued.

Cash Flows

Following is a table of changes in cash flow for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended December 31,
	2023		2022
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	23,145	$	(3,815)
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	219		(3,090)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(25,151)		4,866
Effect of foreign currency exchange rates on cash and cash equivalents	(116)		181
Net Decrease in Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash	$	(1,903)	$	(1,858)

Net cash provided by operating activities was $23.1 million for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 compared to net cash used in operating activities of $3.8 million in the prior year nine-month period. The change in operating cash flows was primarily driven by a net change of $29.5 million in the inventory balance, as inventory decreased by $17.0 million in the current year due to increased sales, whereas inventory increased by $12.5 million in the prior year due to increased purchases. This was partially offset by a net change of $2.6 million in customer deposits in our ground equipment sales segment in the current year nine-month period compared to the prior year period.

Net cash provided by investing activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 was $0.2 million compared to net cash used in investing activities of $3.1 million in the prior year period. The cash provided by investing activities was primarily driven by having received $1.5 million less distributions from equity method investments in the prior year period compared to the current year

31

period. In addition, the Company also made $1.5 million more investments in unconsolidated entities in the prior year period compared to the current year period.

Net cash used in financing activities for the nine-month period ended December 31, 2023 was $25.2 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $4.9 million in the prior year period. The cash used in financing activities in the current year nine-month period was primarily driven by $25.5 million less proceeds and $12.4 million more payments on the Company's term loans and revolving lines of credit compared to the prior year nine-month period, partially offset by $7.3 million of proceeds from the sale of TruPs through ATM offerings and private placements that did not occur in the prior year nine-month period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company uses adjusted earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, to evaluate the Company's financial performance. This performance measure is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, adjusted for specified items. The Company calculates Adjusted EBITDA by removing the impact of specific items and adding back the amounts of interest expense and depreciation and amortization to earnings before income taxes. When calculating Adjusted EBITDA, the Company does not add back depreciation expense for aircraft engines that are on lease, as the Company believes this expense matches with the corresponding revenue earned on engine leases. Depreciation expense for leased engines totaled $0 and $0.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company's performance because it provides investors additional information about the Company's operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace or be an alternative to operating income (loss), the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP.

The tables below provide a reconciliation of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

	Three months ended				Nine months ended
	12/31/2023		12/31/2022		12/31/2023		12/31/2022
Operating (loss) income	$	(1,608)	$	135	$	(189)	$	1,147
Depreciation and amortization (excluding leased engines depreciation)	699		560		2,088		1,810
Asset impairment, restructuring or impairment charges	321		638		326		2,174
Loss (gain) on sale of property and equipment	1		—		(7)		(2)
TruPs issuance expenses	185		4		277		38
Adjusted EBITDA	$	(402)	$	1,337	$	2,495	$	5,167

The asset impairment, restructuring or impairment charges for the three months ended December 31, 2023 was attributable to a write-down of $0.3 million on the commercial jet engines and parts segment's inventory.

The table below provides Adjusted EBITDA by segment for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Issuer and guarantor subsidiary summarized information

Air T Funding is a statutory business trust formed under Delaware law in September 2018. Air T Funding exists for the exclusive purposes of (i) issuing and selling its Alpha Income Trust Preferred Securities (also referred to as the 8.0% Cumulative Securities, Capital Securities or “Trust Preferred Securities”), par value $25.00 per share, (ii) using the proceeds from the sale of the Trust Preferred Securities to acquire Junior Subordinated Debentures issued by the Company, and (iii) engaging in only those other activities necessary, advisable or incidental thereto (such as registering the transfer of the Trust Preferred Securities). Accordingly, the Junior Subordinated Debentures are the sole assets of Air T Funding, and payments by the Company under the Junior Subordinated Debentures and a related expense agreement are the sole revenues of Air T Funding. Air T Funding’s business and affairs are conducted by a Property Trustee, a Delaware Trustee and two individual Administrative Trustees who are officers of Air T.

Distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities are payable to record holders at the annual rate of 8% of the stated $25.00 liquidation amount, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of February, May, August, and November in each year. The Trust Preferred Securities issued by the Trust are fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Air T. Air T guarantees the payment of distributions by Air T Funding and payments on liquidation of or redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities (subordinate to the right to payment of senior and subordinated debt of Air T, as defined in Note 12 of Notes to condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this report). If Air T Funding has insufficient funds to pay distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities (i.e., if Air T has failed to make required payments under the Junior Subordinated Debentures), a holder of the Trust Preferred Securities would have the right to institute a legal proceeding directly against Air T to enforce payment of such distributions.

All of the Common Securities of the Air T Funding are owned by Air T. The Common Securities rank pari passu, and payments will be made thereon pro rata, with the Trust Preferred Securities, except that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the Trust Agreement, as amended resulting from an event of default under the indenture, the rights of the Company as holder of the common securities to payment in respect of distributions and payments upon liquidation, redemption or otherwise would be subordinated to the rights of the holders of the Trust Preferred Securities.

The Trust Preferred Securities are subject to mandatory redemption at any time on or after June 7, 2024. Upon the repayment or redemption at any time, in whole or in part, of any Junior Subordinated Debentures, the proceeds from such repayment or redemption would be applied to redeem a like amount of the Trust Preferred Securities, at the liquidation amount plus any accumulated and unpaid distributions. If less than all of the Junior Subordinated Debentures are to be repaid or redeemed on a redemption date, then the proceeds from such repayment or redemption would be allocated to the redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities pro rata.

The Company also has an optional right to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures (i) on or after June 7, 2024, in whole at any time or in part from time to time at a redemption price equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures so redeemed to the date fixed for redemption, plus 100% of the principal amount thereof, or (ii) at any time, in whole (but not in part), upon the occurrence of a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or a Capital Treatment Event (each as defined in the indenture) at a redemption price equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures so redeemed to the date fixed for redemption, plus 100% of the principal amount thereof. In the event a Tax Event, an Investment Company Event or Capital Treatment Event has occurred and is continuing and the Company does not elect to redeem the Junior Subordinated Debentures and thereby cause a mandatory redemption of the Trust Preferred Securities or to liquidate Air T Funding and cause the Junior Subordinated Debentures to be distributed to holders of the Trust Securities in liquidation of Air T Funding, such Trust Preferred Securities will remain outstanding and additional sums may be payable on the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

So long as no Debenture event of default has occurred and is continuing, at any time on or after June 7, 2024, the Company has the right under the indenture to defer the payment of interest on the Junior Subordinated Debentures at any time or from time to time for a period not exceeding 20 consecutive quarters with respect to each such period (each, an “Extension Period”), provided that no Extension Period may extend beyond the stated maturity of the Junior Subordinated Debentures on June 7, 2049. As a consequence of any such election, quarterly distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities will be deferred by Air T Funding during any such Extension Period. Distributions to which holders of Trust Preferred Securities are entitled will accumulate additional amounts thereon at the rate per annum of 8% thereof, compounded quarterly from the relevant Distribution Date, to the extent permitted under applicable law. During any such Extension Period, the Company may not (i) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock (which includes common and preferred stock) or (ii) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu with or junior in interest to the Junior Subordinated Debentures or make any guarantee payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt securities of any subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks pari passu with or junior in interest to the Junior Subordinated Debentures (other than (a) dividends or distributions in common stock of the Company, (b) any declaration of a dividend in connection with the implementation of a stockholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of stock under any such plan in the future, or the redemption or repurchase of any such rights pursuant thereto, (c) payments under the guarantee and (d) purchases of common stock for issuance under any of the Company’s benefit plans for its directors, officers or employees). Prior to the termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further extend such Extension Period, provided that such extension does not cause such Extension Period to exceed 20 consecutive quarters or extend beyond the stated maturity. Upon the termination of any such Extension Period and the payment of all amounts then due, and subject to the foregoing limitations, the Company may elect to begin a new Extension Period. Subject to the foregoing, there is no limitation on the number of times that the Company may elect to begin an Extension Period. The Company has no current intention of exercising its right to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment period on the Junior Subordinated Debentures.

Air T Funding has a term of 30 years, but may terminate earlier as provided in the Trust Agreement, as amended. The Trust Agreement was most recently amended on March 3, 2021 and on January 28, 2022 and currently allows for the issuance of up to $100.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities. As of December 31, 2023, there are $32.7 million in Trust Preferred Securities outstanding.

The Trust is a “finance subsidiary” of Air T within the meaning of Rule 3‑10 of Regulation S‑X under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and as a result the Air T Funding does not file periodic reports with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to various risks, including interest rate risk. As interest rates have increased, may increase further and can be volatile, the Company has designated a risk management policy which permits the use of derivative instruments to provide protection against rising interest rates on variable rate debt. See Note 8 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q for further discussion on the Company’s use of such derivative instruments.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, referred to collectively herein as the Certifying Officers, are responsible for establishing and maintaining our disclosure controls and procedures. The Certifying Officers have reviewed and evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 240.13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2023. Based on that review and evaluation, which included inquiries made to certain other employees of the Company, the Certifying Officers have concluded that the Company’s current disclosure controls and procedures, as designed and implemented, are effective in ensuring that information relating to the Company required to be disclosed in the reports that the Company files or submits under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. It should be noted that the design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving the stated goals under all potential future conditions, regardless of how remote.

There has not been any change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2023 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
