Analysis · AIIR · Manufacturing
The first earnings report since AIR Global went public lays bare a sharp divide between reported and adjusted figures. Revenue rose 3.7% to $206.9 million even with the Strait of Hormuz closure, and Adjusted EBITDA held steady at $71.7 million, yet the reported net loss of $81.8 million stems from $103 million in one-time listing and IPO expenses. Management pointed to accelerating growth in the second half of 2026 as supply chain disruptions ease, guiding to FY26 revenue growth of 4-6% and low-to-mid single-digit Adjusted EBITDA growth. The company also revealed net debt of $344.8 million, a leverage ratio of 2.48x, and an upcoming EGM on August 24 to vote on share repurchase proposals. This release offers the first comprehensive view of the company's post-SPAC financial health and operational resilience.
