Began with ACMI agreement for five Boeing 767 aircraft
in 2015
Through May 7, 2021, Amazon exercised 14.9 million
warrants for 14.4 million shares of ATSG representing
19.5% ownership. ATSG received $132M for the warrants
exercised for cash in May 2021
Amazon additionally holds 21.8 million warrants with an
expiration in December 2025; if all 21.8M are exercised for
cash of ~$462M, Amazon’s equity stake could total ~38%
For all unexercised warrants, Amazon may elect a
cashless option resulting in fewer shares and a lower
equity stake

OUTLOOK2021
Full year 2021 Adjusted EBITDA projected to be at least
$525M; this excludes PSP2 agreements but includes the
higher costs of maintaining Omni Air's staffing levels,
rates of pay, and benefits as required under the PSP2
agreements
1
CAPEX for 2021 is projected to be approximately $550 million
in 2021, up $50 million from our previous guidance. The
increase is primarily due to commitments to acquire five
more passenger aircraft for conversion, including four
Boeing 767-300s and one Airbus A321-200
We anticipate new leases for sixteen or more
767-300 freighter aircraft in 2021 and CMI
flight operations for at least thirteen more 767
freighters for Amazon in 2021

Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations is defined as Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes plus certain charges from non-consolidating affiliates, and lease incentive amortization. It excludes the net effect of transaction fees, financial instrument gains and losses, and of non-service components of retiree benefit costs. Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations also excludes impairment charges for aircraft valuations and related assets and the effects of government grants received through the CARES Act.
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations is defined as Earnings from Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes plus net interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense, charges from non-consolidating affiliates, and lease incentive amortization. It excludes the net effect of transaction fees, financial instrument gains and losses, and of non-service components of retiree benefit costs. Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations also excludes impairment charges for aircraft valuations and related assets and the effects of government grants received under payroll support programs.
Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be considered alternatives to net income or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA from Continuing Operations and Adjusted Pre-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations to assess the performance of its operating results among periods. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company's results as reported under GAAP, or as an alternative measure of liquidity.
The Company does not provide a reconciliation of projected Adjusted EBITDA because it is unable to predict with reasonable accuracy the value of certain adjustments. Certain adjustments can be significantly impacted by the period-end re-measurements of financial instruments including stock warrants issued to customers. The Company’s earnings on a GAAP basis and the non-GAAP adjustments for gain and losses resulting from the re-measurement of stock warrants, will depend on the future prices of ATSG stock, interest rates and other assumptions which are highly uncertain.
