TP Aerospace delivered a
satisfactory nancial performance
in 2024 with neutral development
in top line but solid growth in gross
prot and earnings before interest,
tax, depreciation, and amortization.
This was driven by increasing ight
activity but also a more stabilized
growth in demand for wheels
and brakes after the pandemic
recovery years, combined with a
diversied customer base and broad
geographical reach in all business
divisions. The improved earnings
also reected positive impacts from
various initiatives rolled out during
2023 and 2024. The number of
aircraft on contract ended at 958
aircraft, here of 823 aircraft were on
Programs contracts and 135 aircraft
were on MRO services contracts by
the end of 2024.
While prioritizing investments
in aircraft components to secure
asset availability in all divisions as
well as continued development of
the new sites in Brno in the Czech
Republic and Brisbane in Australia,
TP Aerospace still generated a
satisfactory free cash ow of USD
8.9m, thereby laying the foundation
for growth in 2025. Free cash ow
before interest paid reached USD
14.0m, a smaller decline of 0.7m
compared to USD 14.7m in 2023.
Income Statement
Revenue
Overall, 2024 revenue of USD
181.0m increased with USD 1.3m
compared to revenue of USD
179.7m in 2023. The revenue
development reected continued
growth in air trafc demand, aircraft
utilization and the global eet size
from 2023 to 2024, but also a more
stabilized growth in demand post
the pandemic recovery years in
2022 and 2023.
Programs
The 2024 revenue of USD 95.6m
in the Programs division increased
by 4.8% from USD 91.2m in 2023,
hereof USD 46.9m was realized in
the rst half of the year and USD
48.7m in the second half of the year.
Besides the impact from customers’
higher ight activity in 2024, the
main drivers behind the revenue
development were additional
aircraft and new platforms added by
existing Programs customers as well
as the signing of several programs
with new customers, offset by the
unfavorable impact from contract
termination from a few larger
customers. TP Aerospace continued
to benet from a diversied
range of aircraft platforms and a
geographically diversied portfolio
of larger and smaller customers,
with 63% of total contracted aircraft
being passenger operators and 37%
being cargo operators.
The 2024 revenue from the
Passenger segment grew by 2.7%
to USD 61.4m. This reected a
normalization of activities amongst
TP Aerospace’s customers post-
pandemic with several customers
expanding their eet, but also the
contract termination from a few
larger passenger operators. Revenue
from the Cargo segment increased
by 8.9% to USD 34.2m reecting
customers expanding their eet as
well as several new signings during
2024.
Within the Programs division, EMEA
increased by 7.9% and Americas
by 5.5% while APAC decreased
with 8.8% from 2023 to 2024. The
improved performance in EMEA
was driven by both the Passenger
segment with ACMI
1
operators
and the Cargo segment. Americas
predominantly grew within the
Passenger segment, reecting
favorable market development
for these operators with increase
in revenue passenger kilometers
(RPKs) in 2024 driven by strong
domestic travel and resurgence in
international travel. Overall, the
aircraft eet in the North American
market continued to grow and from
2023 has surpassed the 2019 level.
Compared to 2023, revenue from
existing customers improved by
USD 5.8m, an increase of 6.5%,
whereas new customers signed
during the year contributed USD
1.1m of the revenue, a drop of USD
1.4m compared to the revenue
share from new customers in 2023.
Activity with existing customers was
positively impacted by customers
expanding their activities as well as
the improved market situation with
higher ight activity. Revenue share
from new customers was impacted
by signings occurring later in the
year.
The Programs division ended
the year with 823 aircraft on
contract, a net decrease of 56
aircraft compared to 2023. Existing
customers added 53 new aircraft
to the portfolio, while a further
38 aircraft were added by new
customers. These additions were
offset by the unfavorable impact
of 121 aircraft coming off contract
due to various airline restructurings
and ordinary contract adjustments.
Of the 121 aircraft, 23 aircraft
were related to airlines which
ceased operations and closed their
activities, while 2 aircraft were
related to customers adjusting the
number of aircraft due to phase-
outs while the customer remained
on contract with TP Aerospace.
In comparison, 2023 included
95 aircraft additions by existing
customers and 63 aircraft additions
from new customers, offset by 179
aircraft coming off contract.
