▪ | Revenues were $143.3 million, a decrease of 1.5%. |
▪ | Total operating expenses were $126.9 million, down 3.7%, including a $3.8 million reduction in salaries, wages and benefits expense due in large part to reductions in airline related costs prior to the merger of Air Transport International and Capital Cargo International Airlines in March 2013. |
▪ | Pre-tax income was $13.6 million, an increase of 26.5%. |
▪ | Net earnings from continuing operations increased 27.6% to $8.5 million, or $0.13 per fully diluted share. Net earnings include a non-cash federal income tax provision. The company does not expect to pay significant federal income taxes until 2015. |
▪ | First-quarter Adjusted EBITDA was $37.3 million, a 9.5% increase from $34.1 million in the same period of the prior year. This non-GAAP financial measure is defined and reconciled to comparable GAAP results in a table at the end of this release. |
▪ | Capital expenditures totaled $59.4 million for the quarter, including the purchase of two 757-200 combi aircraft. |

▪ | On March 31, 2013, ATSG owned 47 aircraft in serviceable condition - 20 leased to external customers and 27 leased to ATSG affiliate airlines. |
◦ | The in-service fleet consisted of forty-one 767 freighters, three 757 freighters and three DC-8 combis. A table reflecting aircraft in service is included at the end of this release. |
▪ | On March 31, 2012, CAM owned 51 in-service aircraft, including thirty-nine 767s, three 757s, six DC-8s (two freighters, four combis) and three 727 freighters. All of the 727 and DC-8 freighters, one DC-8 combi and one 767 passenger aircraft have since been removed from service. |
▪ | Three other aircraft - two 767-300s and one 757-200 - were undergoing passenger-to-freighter conversion as of March 31, 2013. |
▪ | Four 757-200 combi aircraft, including one modified in 2012, one purchased in December 2012 and two purchased in January 2013, are completing certification requirements. They will enter service for the U.S. military as replacements for the three remaining DC-8 combis starting later this quarter. |

▪ | Extended agreements for three 767s operating in DHL's network in the Mideast. |
▪ | Airline-related headcount in the first quarter decreased approximately 26% compared with the beginning of 2012, principally as a result of combining ATI and CCIA operations prior to their merger in March. |
▪ | Four 767 freighters leased from CAM were underutilized during the quarter. |
