Exhibit 99.1 AerSale Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results Second Quarter 2026 Highlights • Revenue of $ 70.9 million versus $ 107.4 million in the prior year period Net loss of $ 5.6 million versus net income of $ 8.6 million in the prior year period Adjusted net loss¹ of $ 4.3 million versus adjusted net income of $ 9.4 million in the prior year period Adjusted EBITDA¹ of $ 2.2 million versus adjusted EBITDA of $ 18.3 million in the prior year period • Feedstock acquisitions of $ 5.6 million versus $ 27.1 million in the prior year period Inventory of $ 376.0 million at June 30 , 2026 Aircraft and engines held for lease² of $ 133.0 million MIAMI , Florida , August 6 , 2026 ( GLOBE NEWSWIRE ) AerSale Corporation ( Nasdaq : ASLE ) ( " AerSale ” or the “ Company ” ) today reported second quarter 2026 financial results . Second Quarter 2026 Results of Operations During the Second Quarter of 2026 , we continued to work through our strategic initiatives that are focused on monetizing our asset base , scaling our MRO operations , and growing the more recurring revenue streams of our business . This has resulted in short - term impacts to our earnings . Comparisons to the second quarter of the prior year are skewed primarily due to $ 33.4 million of Flight Equipment sales in the prior year , compared to none in the current quarter . This decline is not due to a lack of market opportunities , but rather timing of transactions . We have also continued to incur expenses in anticipation of increased MRO demand that has impacted profitability for those units in the short term . Due to these reasons , period - to - period comparisons for this quarter are less representative of the Company's operating momentum .

The decline was primarily driven by the absence of Flight Equipment sales , as well as lower used serviceable material ( “ USM ” ) sales volume . These decreases were partially offset by continued strength in the Company's leasing revenue supported by an expanded engine and B757 freighter lease portfolio , growing maintenance repair and overhaul ( " MRO ” ) revenue , and strong commercial demand for the Company's AerSafe® product . Adjusted EBITDA¹ in the second quarter of 2026 decreased by $ 16.1 million to $ 2.2 million , or 3.1 % of total revenue , representing a decrease of 87.9 % compared to $ 18.3 million , or 17.0 % of total revenue , in the comparable prior year period . The decline was primarily driven by the absence of Flight Equipment sales in the current period . As a reminder to investors , the Company's revenue may significantly fluctuate from quarter - to - quarter and year - to - year based on the timing of Flight Equipment sales and , therefore , performance should also be monitored based on the more recurring aspects of our business , which includes leasing , USM and MRO activities . Excluding Flight Equipment sales , revenue decreased 4.2 % due to lower USM sales as we consumed material to build serviceable engines to support increased leasing and Flight Equipment sales .

Nicolas Finazzo, Chief Executive Officer at AerSale, stated, “Our second quarter results reflect timing, not trajectory. Results were impacted by Flight Equipment sales shifting into the second half of the year and the use of sellable USM to support the overhaul of Flight Equipment. We also continued to invest ahead of demand, adding labor at our Goodyear facility ahead of anticipated volume and building our workforce to support the ramp-up of our new CRJ multi-line program in Millington. This weighed on results in the near term, but we believe positions us well for the anticipated demand ahead. We remain encouraged by underlying demand across our platform and expect these benefits to materialize in the second half.” Mr. Finazzo continued, “We expect meaningful improvement to our earnings and liquidity in the second half of 2026, driven by several recent wins during and subsequent to the second quarter, including a Boeing 737 aircraft sale valued at approximately $35.0 million and commitments for an additional three engine sales which we expect to close in the late third or early fourth quarter. We also delivered a fourth B757 freighter on lease in July and executed a lease agreement for a fifth, scheduled for delivery in August. We remain confident in monetizing our two remaining freighters, expanding our lease pool, and filling capacity across our MRO network.” Asset Management Solutions Segment (“AMS”) revenue decreased 51.3% to $37.1 million during the second quarter of 2026 compared to $76.3 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the absence of Flight Equipment sales. Excluding Flight Equipment sales, AMS revenue decreased 13.6% to $37.0 million from $42.9 million in the prior year, driven by lower USM sales resulting from timing of feedstock acquisitions, and utilization of material to build serviceable assets, this was partially offset by increased leasing revenue from an expanded engine and B757 freighter lease portfolio. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had 18 engines and three B757 freighter aircraft on lease, compared to 16 engines and one B757 freighter on lease in the prior year period. Technical Operations (“TechOps”) revenue increased 8.7% to $33.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $31.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, driven primarily by the continued ramp-up of operations in support of a recently awarded long-term CRJ multi-line maintenance agreement, additional storage volume, landing gear and aerostructures overhaul activity, and continued AerSafe® demand, which is expected to peak in the third quarter of 2026 ahead of the FAA's November 2026 compliance deadline for the fuel tank safety Airworthiness Directive. Gross margin decreased to 22.9% for the second quarter of 2026 compared to 32.9% in the same period last year, due to the absence of Flight Equipment sales, which generated $13.2 million of gross profit in the prior-year period. Lower USM gross profit tied to reduced feedstock acquisitions also contributed to the decline. In addition, gross margin reflected continued investment in labor at our Goodyear, Arizona facility ahead of anticipated volume and continued ramp up in support of our new long-term maintenance program at Millington, Tennessee. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $21.0 million in the second quarter of 2026, slightly below the $22.8 million in the second quarter of 2025 due to lower rent and variable expenses. AerSale incurred $1.3 million of share-based compensation expense in the second quarter of 2026 versus $0.7 million in the second quarter of 2025. Loss from operations was $4.8 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to income from operations of $12.5 million in the second quarter of 2025. Income tax benefit was $1.6 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to an income tax provision of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2025. The Company's effective tax rate was 22.6% in the second quarter of 2026 compared to 17.0% in the second quarter of 2025. Net loss for the second quarter of 2026 was $5.6 million, compared to net income of $8.6 million in the prior-year period. During the second quarter of 2026, the Company recognized $1.3 million of share-based compensation expense within payroll expenses. Excluding this non-cash item and adjusted for tax, and other non-cash items in the prior year period, adjusted net loss¹ was $4.3 million in the second quarter of 2026, compared to adjusted net income¹ of $9.4 million in the second quarter of 2025.

Diluted loss per share was $0.12 for the second quarter of 2026 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.18 in the second quarter of 2025. Adjusted for the items noted above, adjusted diluted loss per share¹ was $0.09 for the second quarter of 2026, compared to adjusted diluted earnings per share¹ of $0.20 for the second quarter of 2025. AerSale ended the quarter with liquidity of $34.0 million consisting of $2.2 million of cash and cash equivalents and available capacity of $31.8 million on its $180 million revolving credit facility, expandable to $200 million, subject to conditions and the availability of lender commitments and borrowing base liabilities. Cash used in operating activities year to date was $33.5 million, primarily reflecting the Company's operating results for the period and continued investment in inventory through feedstock and make ready costs for USM and Flight Equipment. Conference Call Information The Company will host a conference call today, August 6, 2026 at 4:30 pm Eastern Time to discuss these results. A live audio webcast will be available to the public on a listen-only basis at https://ir.aersale.com/news- events/events. An archived replay of the webcast will also be available on the Investors portion of the AerSale website at https://ir.aersale.com/ for one year. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This press release includes non-GAAP financial measures, including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. AerSale defines adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest expense, net, depreciation and amortization, income tax (expense) benefit, and other non-cash, non-recurring or unusual items. Adjusted net income (loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding mark-to-market adjustments relating to our private warrants, share-based compensation expense, inventory write-offs and other non-cash, non-recurring or unusual items. Adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share is adjusted net income divided by the basic and diluted weighted average number of shares outstanding during the measurement period. AerSale believes these non-GAAP measures of financial results provide useful information to management and investors regarding certain financial and business trends relating to AerSale’s financial condition and results of operations. AerSale’s management uses certain of these non-GAAP measures to compare AerSale’s performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses and for budgeting and planning purposes. These non- GAAP measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income (loss) or net income (loss) margin as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (each as determined in accordance with GAAP). You should review AerSale’s financial statements, and not rely on any single financial measure to evaluate AerSale’s business. Other companies may calculate adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), or adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share differently, and therefore AerSale’s adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share measures may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Reconciliations of net income (loss) and basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, the Company’s closest GAAP measures, to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income (loss), and adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share, are outlined in the tables below following the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. End Notes (1) Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted EBITDA and adjusted basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share are non-GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above and “Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net (Loss) Income and Adjusted Basic and Diluted (Loss) Earnings Per Share Reconciliation Table” at the end of this press release for a discussion of why we believe these non-GAAP measures are useful together with a detailed reconciliation of these measures to their most directly comparable GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures. (2) Aircraft and engines held for lease refers to the financial statement line item Aircraft and engines held for lease, net within the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet, which is comprised of the cost of the assets net of accumulated depreciation.
