Overview
Avation PLC is a commercial passenger aircraft leasing company focused on the acquisition, leasing and management of modern, fuel-efficient commercial aircraft. The Company's strategy is to generate stable long-term cash flows through secured lease contracts with airline counterparties globally, supported by disciplined capital management.
The Company derives the majority of its income from fixed-rate operating lease rentals and associated maintenance reserve contributions.
Avation continued to focus on:
· Maintaining high fleet utilisation;
· Securing long-term lease agreements with creditworthy counterparties;
· Active asset management and remarketing;
· Strengthening the balance sheet through refinancing and maturity extension; and
· Identifying opportunities to acquire new and used aircraft to grow the portfolio.
This report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report and Audited Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2025.
Market
According to IATA, in 2025 global passenger traffic grew 5.3% year-on-year. Both domestic and international passenger traffic growth moderated in 2025. Domestic traffic increased by 2.4% year-on-year, while international traffic expanded by 7.1%. Passenger load factors increased to 83.6%, the highest on record for any year. Continued growth in the overall air travel market is supportive for commercial aircraft leasing.
Fleet and Leasing Activity
The number of aircraft in Avation's fleet is unchanged since 30 June 2025 at 33 aircraft following the sale of a Boeing 777-300ER in August 2025 and delivery of a new ATR 72-600 aircraft in December 2025. The fleet is set to grow through nine further deliveries of ATR 72-600 aircraft on order from the manufacturer. The nine ordered aircraft are scheduled for delivery between the second quarter of this year and the second quarter of 2028.
The first of these nine aircraft is scheduled for delivery in April 2026 and will be placed on lease to Cambodia Airways for 12 years. A second aircraft, scheduled for delivery later this year, has also been placed with Cambodia Airways on a 12-year lease. A total of four new aircraft deliveries are expected this year, based on the manufacturer's current production schedule.
Avation was pleased to conclude a four-year extension to the lease of its remaining widebody aircraft in October. This extension, which was agreed more than two years ahead of the scheduled expiry of the lease, is an indicator of the continued strong demand for leased aircraft.
Two ATR 72-600 aircraft have been transitioned to new lessees recently following the expiry of their lease to Mandarin Airlines. A third aircraft will be transitioned to a new lessee in March. Avation has one additional ATR 72-600 aircraft coming off lease in May and is currently in discussion with prospective new lessees for the aircraft.
Avation's customer for two ATR 72-600 aircraft Braathens Regional Airways AB entered administration in October 2025 and the Company has terminated the leases for both aircraft. The aircraft were both redelivered to Avation recently and the Company is currently seeking replacement lessees. The Company is still evaluating the financial impacts, if any, of the termination of the leases to Braathens.
Avation was recently notified that following a technical failure, one of its Airbus A220-300 aircraft on lease to Air Baltic has been classified as unrepairable and is deemed to be a total loss. Avation will receive an insurance claim settlement of US$33.4 million as compensation for loss of the aircraft which is in line with its book value. It is expected that the claim settlement will be paid shortly.
Capital Structure and Financing
The Company was pleased to close the issuance of US$300 million 8.5% unsecured notes due May 2031 in November 2025 ("Notes"). The new Notes, which represent just over 50% of Avation's total debt, provide the Company with a stable long-term capital structure, support operational stability, and remove the near-term refinancing risk inherent in the group's previous note issue which was due to mature In October 2026.
The Notes are rated B by Fitch Ratings, B2 by Moody's and B by S&P Global Ratings. The rating agencies also provide corporate ratings for Avation of B (outlook stable), B1 (outlook stable) and B (outlook stable) respectively.
During the period the Company repurchased 5,181,996 ordinary shares at an average price of 147 pence per share and issued a total of 890,978 shares pursuant to exercises of employee and bondholder warrants. As a result of these actions the number of shares in issue less treasury shares has been reduced by 6.4% from 66,588,737 at 30 June 2025 to 62,297,739 at 31 December 2025.
The Company paid an interim dividend of 1.0 US cents per share in respect of the financial year ended 30 June 2025 in October 2025.
The Group continues to manage leverage levels prudently, with a focus on maintaining adequate headroom under debt facilities and compliance with financial covenants.
Executive Chairman, Jeff Chatfield, said:
"We are pleased to present these results for the six-month period ended 31 December 2025 which show continued stable cash flow generation from a fully utilised fleet with ten unencumbered aircraft.
We are particularly pleased to report the successful refinancing of our near-term unsecured debt obligations with a new long-dated issue of US$300 million unsecured Notes in November 2025. The extended maturity for the new Notes creates stability in our capital structure and provides a platform for future fleet growth.
The result for the period includes the final expenses recorded in relation to amortisation of the 2021 accounting gain on modification of the terms of our previous bond issue and the full redemption of the bonds in November 2025. These non-cash expenses, totalling US$13.0 million, are non-recurring and stripping their impact from our half-year results reveals the underlying strength of the Company's financial performance.
Demand for passenger air travel continues to grow steadily and long OEM order backlogs, supply chain issues and delays to new aircraft deliveries are all supportive for aircraft lessors such as Avation. These factors have contributed to increased demand for lease extensions, which is notably illustrated by our agreement of a four-year lease extension with EVA Air for an Airbus A330-300 widebody aircraft in October 2025. This extension was negotiated over two years ahead of the scheduled expiry date for the lease.
Avation enters the second half of the financial year with a contracted lease portfolio providing visibility of cash flows, extended debt maturities following the successful refinancing of our unsecured debt obligations and continued demand for leased aircraft amid constrained new aircraft supply.
Management remains focused on portfolio optimisation, disciplined capital allocation and maintaining financial flexibility.
The Board believes that the Company is well positioned to navigate prevailing market conditions while continuing to generate long-term shareholder value."

At 31 December 2025, Avation's fleet comprised 33 aircraft, including three aircraft on finance lease. Avation currently serves 16 customers in 15 countries. The weighted average age of the fleet is 8.8 years (30 June 2025: 8.5 years) and the weighted average remaining lease term is 4.3 years (30 June 2025: 3.9 years).
Avation sold a Boeing 777-300ER widebody aircraft during the period generating a gain on sale of US$4.1 million. The Company also acquired a new ATR 72-600 turboprop aircraft in late December which has been placed on a 12-year fixed rate lease agreement with an airline in Korea. Avation's fleet comprises 61% narrowbody, 31% turboprop and 8% widebody aircraft by book value as at 31 December 2025. Fleet assets have decreased 9.1% to US$744.8 million (30 June 2025: US$819.8 million) principally due to the Boeing 777-300ER sale noted above. During the six months ended 31 December 2025 all aircraft were on lease.

The weighted average cost of total debt has increased to 6.8% at 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: 6.6%) largely due to an increase in the Company's unsecured debt coupon from 8.25% to 8.50% following the successful issue of US$300 million unsecured notes due May 2031 in November 2025. The weighted average cost of secured debt decreased to 5.1% at 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: 5.2%).

Lease rental revenue decreased by 1.0% from US$44.6 million in the six months ended 31 December 2024 to US$44.1 million in the six months ended 31 December 2025. The decrease was principally due to the sale of a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft in August 2025 partially offset by an increase in the US dollar equivalent value of the Company's Euro-denominated lease revenue. All of Avation's aircraft were on-lease throughout the period.
Interest income from finance leases decreased by 46.2% from US$0.8 million in the six months ended 31 December 2024 to US$0.4 million in the six months ended 31 December 2025. The reduction was principally due to fewer aircraft on average leased on finance leases during the six months ended 31 December 2025. There were three aircraft leased on finance leases at 31 December 2025.

Fees charged for late payments reduced by 64.3% from US$0.8 million in the six months ended 31 December 2024 to US$0.3 million in the six months ended 31 December 2025. The reduction is due to reduced levels of arrears throughout the period.
Claim recoveries recognised in other income in the six months ended 31 December 2024 are distributions paid to creditors of Virgin Australia in excess of amounts allocated to trade receivables.
Foreign currency exchange gains in the six months ended 31 December 2024 arose principally from the revaluation of Euro-denominated loans during the period.

Staff costs increased by 6.8% from US$2.9 million in the six months ended 31 December 2024 to US$3.1 million in the six months ended 31 December 2025 principally as a result of inflationary salary increments.
Other administrative expenses increased by 47.9% from US$1.7 million in the six months ended 31 December 2024 to US$2.6 million in the six months ended 31 December 2025. The increase in the six months ended 31 December 2025 was principally due to additional audit and accounting fees of US$0.4 million associated with the update of the Company's GMTN programme documentation and US$0.2 million of fees paid to retained contractors for commercial marketing services.

Interest income was US$2.1 million in the six months ended 31 December 2025. Interest income includes distributions from investments in money-market funds. The group deploys surplus cash balances into fixed term deposits and money-market funds while maintaining sufficient liquidity to meet near-term payment obligations.
A gain of US$1.1 million on early full repayment of borrowings arose when in-the-money interest rate swaps were terminated concurrently with repayment of two loans on the sales of aircraft in August 2024.

Amortisation of IFRS 9 gain on debt modification of US$4.2 million represents the non-cash accretion in the book value of Avation Capital S.A. 8.25%/9.0% unsecured notes resulting from the accounting treatment of the extension and changes to the terms of the notes agreed with noteholders in March 2021. The extension was accounted for as a substantial modification of a debt instrument in accordance with IFRS 9.
Avation Capital S.A. 8.25%/9.0% unsecured notes were fully redeemed in November 2025. The Company has recognised a loss of US$8.8 million on the redemption of these notes to write off the difference between the accreted value of the notes and the amount paid on redemption.
Interest expense on secured borrowings reduced by 3.6% to US$8.1 million in the six months ended 31 December 2025 from US$8.4 million in the six months ended 31 December 2024 as a result of repayments of secured loans. Secured loans have been reduced by US$34.9 million from US$328.7 million at 31 December 2024 to US$293.8 million at 31 December 2025.
Interest expense on unsecured notes reduced by 8.8% from US$13.7 million in the six months ended 31 December 2024 to $12.5 million in the six months ended 31 December 2025. The reduction principally results from repurchases of notes which reduced the average outstanding principal amount.
A non-cash mark-to-market loss of US$2.8 million arose on the revaluation of interest rate swap agreements as a result of changes in floating interest rates in the six months ended 31 December 2025.

AVATION PLC
CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CHANGES IN EQUITY
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
Capital reserve comprises acquisitions with non-controlling interests that do not result in a change of control.
Other reserves consist of capital redemption reserve, share warrant reserve, fair value reserve and foreign currency hedge reserve.
The merger reserve arose on acquisition of additional shares of the Company's subsidiary Capital Lease Aviation Limited through the allotment of ordinary shares in the year ended 30 June 2015. The merger reserve represents the difference between the fair value and the nominal value of the shares issued by the Company.

AVATION PLC
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
This interim condensed consolidated financial statements for Avation PLC for the six months ended 31 December 2025 were authorised for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Directors on 25 February 2026.
1 CORPORATE INFORMATION
Avation PLC is a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales under the Companies Act 2006 (Registration Number 05872328) and its shares are traded on the Standard Segment of the Main Market of the London Stock Exchange.
The Group's principal activity is aircraft leasing.
2 BASIS OF PREPARATION AND ACCOUNTING POLICIES
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules (DTR) of the Financial Conduct Authority and in accordance with UK-adopted International Accounting Standard (IAS) 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included within the annual report and therefore cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and financial and investing activities of the consolidated entity as the annual report.
It is recommended that the interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025 and considered together with any public announcements made by Avation PLC during the six months ended 31 December 2025.
The accounting policies and methods of computation are the same as those adopted in the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2025.
The preparation of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported income and expenses, assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingencies at the date of the Interim Report, actual results may differ from these estimates.
The statutory financial statements of Avation PLC for the year ended 30 June 2025, which carried an unqualified audit report, have been delivered to the Registrar of Companies and did not contain any statements under section 498 of the Companies Act 2006.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited.
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not constitute statutory financial statements within the meaning of section 434 of the Companies Act 2006.

The carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, trade and other receivables, finance lease receivables - current, trade and other payables - current, loans and borrowings - current and maintenance reserves are a reasonable approximation of fair value either due to their short-term nature or because the interest rate charged closely approximates market interest rates or that the financial instruments have been discounted to their fair value at a current pre-tax interest rate.

The fair values (other than for unsecured notes, investment in debt instrument, fair value through profit or loss) above are estimated by discounting expected future cash flows at market incremental lending rate for similar types of lending, borrowing or leasing arrangements at the end of the reporting period, which is classified under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The fair value of the unsecured notes and share warrants are based on level 1 quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market that the Group can access at measurement date.
The fair value of pre-delivery aircraft deposits paid are classified under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy for which the inputs are observable for the determination of fair value using the discounted cashflow model.
The fair value of the derivative financial instruments is determined by reference to marked-to-market values provided by counterparties. The fair value measurement of all derivative financial instruments is classified under level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, for which inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) are included as inputs for the determination of fair value.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
15 DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL ASSETS/LIABILITIES (continued)
Hedge accounting has been applied for interest rate swap contracts and cross-currency interest rate swap contracts which have been designated as cash flow hedges.
The Group pays fixed rates of interest of 2.3% to 3.8% per annum and receives floating rate interest equal to 1 to 3 month SOFR under the interest rate swap contracts.
The swap contracts mature between 28 January 2026 and 25 September 2031.
Changes in the fair value of these interest rate swap contracts are recognised in the fair value reserve. The net fair value gain net of tax of US$1.3 million (31 December 2024: loss of US$3.2 million) on these derivative financial instruments was recognised in the fair value reserve for the period.
The Group entered into Euro denominated lease agreements which create exposure to variability in cash flows due movements in the EUR:USD exchange rate. To hedge its exposure to variable cash flows resulting from changes in EUR:USD spot rates, the Group has arranged Euro denominated financing which reduces overall exposure to variable cash flows to the extent that lease receipts and debt service cashflows are matched. The Group is making use of a non-derivative hedging instrument and has designated the cash flows with respect to the loan interest and principal repayment (hedging instrument) against a specific portion of the lease receivable (hedged item).
Unrealised foreign exchange gains and losses arising on Euro denominated loans designated as cash flow hedges are recognised in the foreign currency hedge reserve. Unrealised foreign exchange gains and losses recorded in the foreign currency hedging reserve are systematically re-cycled through profit or loss over the remaining term of the related loan on a straight-line basis.
The share warrants consist of 5,654,078 (30 June 2025: 5,728,054) share warrants granted to the holders of the unsecured notes to subscribe for the ordinary shares of the Company exercisable to 31 October 2026 at a price of 114.5 pence per share (including cashless exercise option).

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
PRINCIPAL RISKS
The Group's risk management processes bring greater judgement to decision making as they allow management to make better, more informed and more consistent decisions based on a clear understanding of risk involved. We regularly review the risk assessment and monitoring process as part of our commitment to continually improve the quality of decision-making across the Group.
The principal risks and uncertainties which may affect the Group in the second half of the financial year will include the typical risks associated with the aviation business, including but not limited to any downturn in the global aviation industry, fuel costs, finance costs, war and extremism and the like which may affect our airline customers' ability to fulfil their lease obligations.
The business also relies on its ability to source finance on favourable terms. Should this supply of finance contract, it would limit our fleet expansion and therefore growth.
GOING CONCERN
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The financial risk management objectives and policies of the Group and the exposure of the Group to credit risk and liquidity risk are discussed in the annual report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2025.
DIRECTORS
The directors of Avation PLC are listed in its Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2025. A list of the current directors is maintained on the Avation PLC website: www.avation.net
