Selected Business & Operational Highlights:
Commenting on the results, Firoz Tarapore, Chief Executive Officer of DAE, stated, “We are continuing to see strong revenue recovery as our airline customers benefit from strong demand, with revenue growth of 16% to US$989 million in the first nine months of 2023, compared to the same period in 2022.
During the third quarter of 2023, DAE both announced and completed its acquisition of the rights, interests, and obligations of a portfolio of 64 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, which provides certainty to our near-term growth prospects and further deepens our commitment to funding next-generation, fuel-efficient aircraft. Powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines and advanced technology winglets, the 737 MAX reduces fuel use and emissions by 20% compared to airplanes it replaces.
Also during the third quarter, Boeing selected Joramco to establish a new Boeing 737-800BCF freighter conversion line in Amman, Jordan. DAE Engineering’s footprint continues to grow to an expected 22 maintenance lines by the end of 2024.
We continue to actively manage the liability side of our balance sheet and announced the signing of our largest ever bank financing, a US$1.6 billion multi-tranche financing, structured as a combination of revolving credit facilities and term financing facilities. We ended the quarter with available liquidity standing at US$3.8 billion, and an exceptionally strong liquidity coverage ratio at 269%.
Overall, this quarter can be characterized by the significant amount of franchise enhancing activities, both at DAE Capital and DAE Engineering, as well as the continued strength of our combined businesses as we trend back to, or above, pre-pandemic levels on all fronts.”
