Forward Guidance
ATSG expects its Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 to be $640 million, or nearly $100 million more than 2021 results. It also projects 2022 capital spending of $590 million, including $200 million in sustaining capex and $390 million for growth.
Positive Outlook
- Leases of nine 767-300 and two A321-200 freighters.
- Contributions from seven 767 freighter aircraft to be added to customer CMI contracts during 2022, including five to be provided by customers.
- Continued moderation of pandemic effects on demand for ATSG’s passenger and Boeing 757 combi operations, as both revenues and margins for these flight operations continue to recover.
- 2022 results for passenger operations are expected to approximate pre-pandemic 2019 levels, reflecting more normalized support for both military and commercial passenger customers.
- The strong operating momentum in ATSG’s freighter leasing and airline businesses, together with the change in engine maintenance services for ATSG's 767-200s, will drive substantial increases in 2022 adjusted earnings as well as Adjusted EBITDA.
