Air Transport Services Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATSG), a leading provider of aircraft leasing, and air cargo transportation and related services, today reported consolidated financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2013.
For the fourth quarter of 2013:
- Revenues increased 2 percent to $157.0 million, compared with the fourth quarter of 2012, attributable mainly to increased airline operations for DHL in the U.S., and greater aircraft leasing revenues than a year ago.
- Results for the fourth quarter included a non-cash impairment charge of $52.6 million, related to the write-off of goodwill associated with ATSG's 2007 purchase of Air Transport International.
- Excluding the impairment charge, fourth-quarter adjusted earnings from continuing operations were $9.7 million, or $0.15 per fully diluted share, down from fourth-quarter 2012 earnings of $12.2 million, or $0.19 per share. Including the impairment charge, ATSG's loss from continuing operations for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $42.8 million, or $0.67 per share.
- Adjusted EBITDA (Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization, also adjusted for the impairment charges and derivative gains) was $44.2 million, up 4 percent from the prior-year quarter. Adjusted EBITDA increased in each of the last two quarters of 2013, and totaled $157.5 million for the year, within the company's previously announced targeted range.
- Higher interest rates and positive returns on pension assets resulted in a reduction of $135.3 million in post-retirement pension liabilities in 2013.
- Stockholder's equity increased to $369.0 million, or 23 percent from December 31, 2012.
- Adjusted earnings from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures. Both are defined and reconciled to comparable GAAP results in separate tables at the end of this release.
Joe Hete, President and Chief Executive Officer of ATSG, said, "Our results for the fourth quarter demonstrate continued sequential progress against our goals to improve our margins, allowing us to deliver the EBITDA we projected for 2013 and increasing our free cash flow outlook for 2014. We remain very focused on strengthening our airline businesses and capitalizing on the emerging demand we are beginning to see by placing more of our freighters into revenue service around the world. Our strategic investment in West Atlantic, one of Europe's largest independent air cargo operators, is an important step toward that goal."
ATSG's cargo airline Air Transport International (ATI), completed its military combi fleet upgrade, retired its remaining legacy DC-8 aircraft, and increased its operating block hours on a sequential-quarter basis throughout 2013, but remained unprofitable throughout the year. The recent termination of ATI's support for DHL's Mideast network, and a continuing flat air cargo environment in commercial markets here and abroad, resulted in a $52.6 million non-cash charge against ATSG's remaining ATI-related goodwill. ATSG continues to work toward making ATI a lower-cost competitor for opportunities with the major air cargo networks worldwide.
2013 revenues decreased 5 percent to $580 million compared with 2012, due primarily to reduced international operations. A loss from continuing operations of $19.6 million for the year, equal to $0.31 per share, compares with earnings from continuing operations of $41.6 million, or $0.65 per share in 2012. Excluding the effects of the impairment charge, ATSG's adjusted earnings from continuing operations for 2013 were $33.0 million, or $0.51 per share. Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3 percent to $157.5 million.
Segment Results
CAM (Aircraft Leasing)

| ||||||||||||||
Significant Developments:
- Higher revenues for the fourth quarter and year were the result of five more CAM-owned Boeing 757 and 767 aircraft in service in the fourth quarter of 2013 than a year earlier. Lower pre-tax earnings from leasing operations reflect higher depreciation on the aircraft added, and fewer gains on sales of aircraft and engines than in the fourth quarter of 2012.
- At year-end 2013, ATSG owned 49 cargo aircraft in serviceable condition - 20 leased to external customers and 29 leased to CAM's airline affiliates. A table reflecting cargo aircraft in service is included at the end of this release.
- The in-service fleet consisted of forty-two Boeing 767 freighters, four Boeing 757 freighters, and three 757 combis (combined passenger and main-deck cargo aircraft).
- CAM's sixth 767-300 freighter entered service during the fourth quarter, and its two remaining DC-8 combis were retired at year-end.
- One 767-300 freighter and one 757 combi were completing inspections prior to deployment at year-end. The fourth 757 combi entered service for the U.S. military in February, and a seventh 767-300 freighter will enter service later this month. This marks the completion of the company's fleet upgrade to an all-Boeing 767 and 757 fleet.

Significant Developments:
- Fourth-quarter airline services revenues decreased $3 million to $100 million, compared with the fourth quarter last year. The segment's quarterly pre-tax loss excluding impairment charges increased to $4 million, from $3 million in 2012. International operations for major air network operators, and results from ad hoc holiday season operations in North America, were lower in 2013.
- ATI's fourth quarter operating loss, while larger than a year ago, was smaller than in the third quarter of 2013 as its revenues increased nearly 9 percent. Newer 757 combis served all of ATI's combi routes to remote U.S. military bases during the quarter, and ATI's two remaining DC-8 combis were retired. A fourth 757 combi entered service early this year.
- During the first quarter of 2014, DHL ended ACMI agreements for three 767 freighters that had supported its Mideast networks.
- Since the third quarter of 2013, three 767 freighters have been deployed on ACMI routes offsetting the loss of the Mideast business. One for DHL connects Panama to DHL's U.S. network, another operates for a European airline on a transatlantic route, and the third serves Caribbean routes for a Miami-based airline.
- ABX Air's ACMI and CMI support for DHL in the U.S. continued to provide consistent revenues and earnings in the fourth quarter and 2013.
- Overall, ACMI block hours decreased 6 percent during the fourth quarter compared to the prior-year period, but increased 10 percent from the third quarter.

- Revenues and earnings in the fourth quarter continued the positive trend of the third quarter. Aircraft maintenance operations, and good results from management of U.S. Postal Service sorting facilities, were improved from the fourth quarter of 2012. Aircraft maintenance capacity available to serve third-party customers is expected to expand beginning in the second quarter of 2014 with completion of a new hangar in Wilmington.
Outlook
ATSG projects, based on its current view of aircraft deployments, that its Adjusted EBITDA for 2014 will be in a range of $165 to $170 million.
Hete said, "Air cargo markets continue to be characterized by changing alliances and initiatives, challenging carriers to develop best-fits of routes and networks with ideal aircraft types and service platforms. In that kind of market, we believe that our more modern, all-767 and 757 fleet, our midsize-freighter focus, flexible deployment options ranging from long-term dry leases to wet leases or short-term charter operations, all with comprehensive maintenance and technical support, are unique and compelling advantages. As trends shift toward smaller twin-engine, multi-mission freighter types and specialty niche aircraft like our combis, we think we are ideally positioned to benefit from future commercial market growth while retaining a key role in the U.S. military's supplemental airlift programs.
"With our fleet growth and modernization program completed, business process improvements continuing, and positive developments in our pension plans, we expect to generate strong free cash flow during 2014, and gain even greater flexibility to allocate our capital in ways that provide optimal long-term benefits to our shareholders. We have five currently underutilized Boeing 767s, and a sixth that becomes available later this month, which when successfully deployed would significantly improve our EBITDA above the projected range."
