AAWW: Takeaways from Mostly Upbeat Analyst Day

Filed under: Airfreight & Logistics, Ed Wolfe & Scott Group

AAWW’s Analyst Day on Thurs., 5/30, included presentations from senior mgmt and a tour of Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner production facility in Charleston, SC. AAWW noted signs of improving airfreight demand, expectations for new ACMI contracts and affirmed its full-year C13 EPS guidance, but provided no long-term guidance. Relative to previous Analyst Days, the biggest changes to us are AAWW’s focus on growing its Titan dry-leasing business and its commitment to buying back stock.

Filed under: Ed Wolfe & Scott Group, Railroads

AAWW: Mixed Bag from 1Q Earnings

Filed under: Airfreight & Logistics, Ed Wolfe & Scott Group

AAWW reported 1Q adj. EPS $0.07 or 47% above Cons. but EPS still fell more than 55% y/y. Rev. grew 5% y/y, but pre-tax margins were cut in half despite lower than expected maintenance expense which boosted 1Q EPS $0.20 relative to AAWW’s guidance.

Sequestration & the Transports; Rail Regulatory Update; KSU & SWFT Debt Paydown; ABFS Teamster Negotiations; CSX Export Coal

Filed under: Airfreight & Logistics, Ed Wolfe & Scott Group, Railroads, Trucking

Transports Have Little Direct Government Exposure, But Sequestration Still Likely to Have Modest Negative Impact on Freight Volumes. We estimate AAWW and WAB have the most direct exposure to the U.S. gov’t at 30% and 20% of total rev., respectively. We suspect FDX and UPS also likely have higher-end gov’t exposure among the transports, but nobody else has more than 5% direct rev. exposure. Still, freight vols will likely be negatively impacted by sequestration, due in part to customs delays at major ports and the Canadian and Mexican borders.
