Willis Lease Finance Corporation Reports First Quarter Pre-tax Loss of $1.7 million
2021年5月4日 - 7:00PM
Willis Lease Finance Corporation (NASDAQ: WLFC) today reported
first quarter total revenues of $61.1 million and pre-tax loss of
$1.7 million. The Company reported lower revenue in the first
quarter when compared to the prior year period, primarily due to
the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The slowdown in global travel
continues to impact aircraft and engine utilization as well as
demand for aircraft and engine spare parts. For the three months
ended March 31, 2021, aggregate lease rent and maintenance
reserve revenues were $51.3 million and spare parts and equipment
sales were $4.6 million.
“Despite significant progress in the development
and roll-out of COVID-19 vaccines, the pandemic continues to weigh
on global travel and that, obviously, has had a negative impact on
our business and the industry as a whole,” said Charles F. Willis,
Chairman and CEO. “We are not satisfied with our quarterly results,
but we continue to focus on the long-term and our Platform is
well-positioned, whether in providing capital, assets or services,
to support our customers’ slow recovery from a nearly complete and
worldwide shutdown of air travel.”
“Our results this quarter are disappointing, but
not surprising given the lack of flying worldwide,” said Brian R.
Hole, President. “Those things are out of our control so instead we
are focused on what we can control. We are delivering liquidity to
our customers, continuing to innovate, including closing our first
transaction with our brand new revolving credit lease engine
financing product, and developing programmatic solutions that will
help our customers conserve capital while transitioning out of
aircraft and engines or returning them to service without being
forced to invest in costly maintenance.”
