The following table summarizes the preliminary estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of December 18, 2025: Fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed: Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 1,150 Restricted cash 4,679 Accounts receivable, net 18,412 Inventories, net 15,029 Other non-current assets 2,858 Aircraft 60,478 Spare aircraft engines 13,530 Rotable aircraft parts 25,006 Land and buildings 12,659 Other property, plant and equipment 3,862 Intangible assets, net 3,582 Right-of-use ("ROU") assets 3,512 Total Assets 164,758 Liabilities: Unearned Revenue (21,343) Accrued expenses and other (31,223) Short-term lease liability (799) CFA Debt (22,203) Long-term lease liability (2,713) Other non-current liabilities (939) Total Liabilities (57,877) Net Assets $ 106,881 Prior to the Acquisition, Rex was subject to voluntary administration proceedings in Australia since July 30, 2024. The transaction is expected to result in a bargain purchase gain due to Rex's distressed financial condition and the administrators' determination, following a formal bidding process, that the Company's offer represented the optimal outcome for Rex's creditors. As the purchase price allocation is not finalized, we have recorded the preliminary bargain purchase gain as a deferred credit - preliminary bargain purchase gain within the consolidated balance sheet. The table below summarizes the calculation of the preliminary bargain purchase gain as of December 31, 2025: Total purchase consideration $ 11,041 Less: Net assets acquired (106,881) Deferred credit - preliminary bargain purchase gain $ (95,840) The impact on earnings attributable to the acquisition of Rex amounted to $5.2 million in revenue, $5.5 million in cost of sales, $0.3 million in general and administrative expenses and $0.9 million of depreciation and amortization expenses. For the period presented, Rex generated a net loss of $1.5 million.The operating loss during this initial period is attributable to fixed operating costs associated with maintaining flight operations, aircraft and crew, regulatory compliance requirements, and transaction-related integration expenses. Business Segment Results Overnight Air Cargo • This segment provides air express delivery services, primarily for FedEx Corporation (“FedEx”), and repair services. • Revenues for this segment decreased by an immaterial amount to $30.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, compared to the previous year’s fiscal third quarter revenues of $30.6 million.
• Adjusted EBITDA* for this segment was $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, a decrease of $1.0 million when compared to the prior year’s comparable quarter, primarily driven by 2% increase in cost of sales related to outside maintenance expenses incurred at Mountain Air Cargo and a minimal decrease in revenue.

Customers include passenger and cargo airlines, airports, the military, and other industrial customers. • Revenues for this segment totaled $12.8 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2025, an increase of 8% when compared to revenue of $11.8 million in the previous year’s third fiscal quarter.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures The Company uses adjusted earnings before taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization ("Adjusted EBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined by the SEC, to evaluate the Company's financial performance. This performance measure is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and should be considered in addition to, and not in lieu of, GAAP financial measures. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is a useful measure of the Company's performance because it provides investors additional information about the Company's operations allowing better evaluation of underlying business performance and better period-to-period comparability. We may periodically review and update our non-GAAP financial measures based on our determination of their relevance to our business which could result in the addition or elimination of select non-GAAP financial measures in the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to replace or be an alternative to operating income, the most directly comparable amounts reported under GAAP. The table below provides a reconciliation of operating income to Adjusted EBITDA for the periods ended December 31, 2025, and 2024 (in thousands): Three months ended Nine months ended 12/31/2025 12/31/2024 12/31/2025 12/31/2024 Operating (loss) income from continuing operations $ (3,780) $ 1,424 $ 2,574 $ 4,486 Depreciation and amortization (excluding leased assets depreciation) 1,585 552 3,017 2,262 Inventory write-down and reserves 819 274 1,058 776 Gain on sale of property and equipment (94) — (74) (8) Securities issuance expenses 19 19 68 147 Share-based compensation 48 31 129 48 Severance expenses — — — 217 Earnout remeasurement — 392 (666) 651 Deal-sourcing expense 1,145 — 2,982 — Post-acquisition integration expenses 436 — 436 — Adjusted EBITDA $ 178 $ 2,692 $ 9,524 $ 8,579 (1) There was no depreciation expense on leased assets excluded during the three months ended December 31, 2025 and there was $0.7 million excluded during the nine months ended December 31, 2025.
