    • Debt service coverage tests calculated per the Series 2021 bond indenture as of September 30, 2026, exceeded all applicable covenant ratios.
  • Guidance and Future Outlook:

    • Year-end 2026 revenue guidance was revised upward to a range of $44–48 million, from a prior range of $42–46 million, driven by increased occupancy and fueling at existing operating campuses.
    • Year-end 2026 Adjusted EBITDA guidance was revised downward to a range of $0–4 million, from a prior range of $4–6 million, due to operating and one-time costs associated with the expected early December opening of the BDL campus and the delay in ADS Phase 2 opening to Q1 2027.
    • Management expects operating margins for new campuses (including BDL) and existing operating campuses to reach target levels over time as they lease up and stabilize.
  • Business Segments and Product Lines:

    • Leasing: Stabilized campuses saw an average revenue escalation of 20% upon re-lease for the trailing 12 months as of November 1, 2026, excluding typical CPI escalations with a 4% floor.
    • Occupancy: Miami–Opa Locka (OPF) combined occupancy reached 92% with all 2026 leases signed at Tier-1 rates; ADS Phase 1, Phoenix Deer Valley (DVT) Phase 1, and Denver Centennial (APA) Phase 1 achieved 101%, 77%, and 57% economic occupancy, respectively.
    • Pre-leasing: San Jose Mineta (SJC) Phase 1 reached 132% economic occupancy, while SJC Phase 2 is 100% pre-leased.
    • Construction (Obligated Group): ADS Phase 2 is expected to open in February 2027, marking the completion of all Obligated Group projects; $15.8 million in equity has been contributed to date for ADS Phase 2, with $13 million in remaining capital expenditures expected to be financed by Series 2026 Bonds.
    • Construction (Portfolio 2): Bradley International (BDL) is on schedule for completion by December 4, 2026; Salt Lake City (SLC) is expected to complete around March 2027; Hudson Valley (POU) and Orlando Executive (ORL) are expected to complete in Q3 2027.
    • Development (Portfolio 2): Construction is scheduled to begin in late Q4 2026 for Washington Dulles (IAD), Trenton-Mercer (TTN), and Chicago Executive (PWK).
    • Third-Party Services: Subsidiaries Stratus Building Systems and Ascend Aviation Services secured contracts with a major FBO for the turnkey delivery of two hangar campuses totaling over 128,640 square feet, with contract values exceeding $38 million.
    • Operations: The company operates 1.04 million square feet of hangar and associated office/support space, with approximately 2 million square feet of aviation ramp and vehicle parking.
    • Efficiency: A campus-level Opex efficiency program has been implemented with initial cost savings realized; a network-wide fuel supply RFP is expected to improve fuel margins; a multi-year equipment RFP reduced future GSE purchase costs by over 10%.
  • Market and Competitive Landscape:

    • The HBO service model, featuring proprietary training equipment and unique standard operating procedures for line crew and General Managers, is identified as a major differentiator.
    • Revenue per square foot continues to grow at stabilized campuses as original hangar leases turn over.
  • Risks and Challenges:

    • Adjusted EBITDA guidance for 2026 was reduced due to operating and one-time costs associated with new campus openings and delays in project completion.
    • Forward-looking statements regarding financial condition, results of operations, and construction timelines are subject to uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially.
  • Management Commentary and Tone:

    • CEO Tal Keinan stated that the growing footprint at tier 1 airports represents early results of a multi-year effort, launching a standardized process of development, leasing, and operations.
    • Management expressed confidence that the standardized process will result in an increasingly predictable schedule of revenue and NOI step-ups.
  • Other Key Points:

    • New Ground Leases: The Los Angeles City Council approved two new ground leases at Van Nuys Airport totaling over 25 acres, expected to yield approximately 300,000 rentable square feet; formal execution is expected in the coming weeks.
    • New Ground Leases: The Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority approved an option for a third ground lease at Dulles International Airport, providing 15 acres for 171,520 rentable square feet.
    • Financing: Proceeds from the Series 2026 Bonds are available for the completion of ADS Phase 2 construction.
    • Operational Milestone: The BDL Campus is on track to transition from finished construction to a resident-ready operating campus in less than 30 days.
