CLEARWATER, Fla., Nov. 16, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Avantair, Inc. (OTCBB:AAIR), the sole North American provider of flight hour time cards and fractional shares in the Piaggio Avanti aircraft, today announced financial results for its fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2009.

First Quarter Fiscal 2010 Highlights:

* Total revenues of $35.2 million, an increase of 7.7%,
as compared to $32.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2008.
* Flight time cards sold for the three months ended
September 30, 2009 increased 69% to 86 compared to 51
flight time cards sold during the fiscal fourth quarter
ended June 30, 2009, and 219% from 27 for the fiscal first
quarter ended September 30, 2008.
* Revenue-generating flight hours flown reached a new quarterly
record, increasing 13% quarter-over-quarter to 9,356 hours
compared to 8,277 hours for the fiscal fourth quarter ended
June 30, 2009, and increasing 11% year-over-year compared to
8,393 for the fiscal first quarter ended September 30, 2008.
* Operating income of $249,000, compared with an operating loss
of $1.9 million in the first fiscal quarter of 2009.
* EBITDA profit (profitable results from operations before
depreciation and amortization) of $1.7 million, compared with
an EBITDA loss of $820,000 in the first fiscal quarter of 2009.
* Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1.8 million,
or $0.11 per basic and diluted common share, compared with a net
loss attributable to common stockholders of $3.7 million, or
$0.24 per basic and diluted common share, for the fiscal first
quarter of 2009.
* Closed tranche of a PIPE (Private Investment in a Public
Entity) financing on September 25th for $0.6 million, and through
October 16th, the Company sold an additional 8.8 million shares
of common stock generating net proceeds of approximately $8.0
million (subsequent event).
* Fleet size increased to 55 aircraft, with three new Piaggio
Avanti II aircraft in October (subsequent event).

Steven Santo, Chief Executive Officer of Avantair, stated, “We delivered impressive record gains in flight time card sales and revenue-generating flight hours flown during the first quarter, both of which support our recent fleet expansion of an additional four aircraft, three of which have already been received and one of which is expected to be added during the current quarter. Our program success is especially outstanding considering industry reports that indicate a downturn in private jet travel. Satisfied Avantair customers keep referring new customers, which is building our brand equity and driving the expansion of our market presence.

“In entering fiscal 2010, we’ve reached an important inflection point in our business where we believe we are getting close to our goal of sustainable profitability. We believe there are significant barriers to successful entry into our light-jet private transportation category, where we have already established critical mass, scale economies, and low-cost luxury transport leadership. While competitors are downsizing operations in the current environment, we are adding pilots, flight hours, aircraft, and adding to our sales force to meet escalating demand,” Mr. Santo continued.

“Environmental concern is yet another factor working in our favor. With travelers seeking responsible private transportation and alternatives to high cost, high emission air travel, customers are placing increasing value on our Piaggio aircraft fleet which offers the lowest fuel burn and carbon emissions in the industry.

“Our excellence in each of these areas reinforces Avantair’s highly competitive market position and supports our growth profile over the long term. With exciting sales and marketing initiatives planned over the next several quarters, we look forward to achieving even more milestones and building greater value for our shareholders during fiscal year 2010.”

Use of Non-GAAP Measures of Performance

The Company believes that EBITDA (results from operations before depreciation and amortization) is useful to investors as it excludes certain non-cash expenses that do not directly relate to the operation of aircraft. This measure is a supplement to generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) used to prepare the Company’s financial statements and should not be viewed as a substitute for GAAP measures. In addition, the Company’s non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to non-GAAP measures of other companies. Income from operations, which the Company believes to be the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, would include depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, resulting in income from operations of approximately $249,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and loss from operations of approximately $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008.

Conference Call

Chief Executive Officer Steven Santo, Chief Financial Officer Richard Pytak and Chief Operating Officer Kevin Beitzel will hold a conference call with the financial community today at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time to review the Company’s financial results and provide an update on business developments.

Interested parties may participate in the conference call by dialing 1-877-941-4776 (480-629-9762 for international callers). When prompted, ask for the “Avantair, Inc.

Hyundai’s decision comes just three weeks before the biennial event opens to the media Oct. 21. The show opens to the public three days later. The organizers had already included Hyundai in a diagram of the booths.

“Hyundai Motor Co. will not be an official exhibitor at the 2009 Tokyo Motor Show because of the global economic downturn, which has forced a more careful allocation of resources,” Hyundai said in a statement.

It defended its decision as “in line with other leading automakers who have canceled their participation.”

The large number of companies skipping the event is unprecedented for the Tokyo show and underlines the industry’s serious slump.

U.S. automakers such as General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co. [Read the full article]

I recall when Chrysler killed DeSoto and Imperial, and when Ford ( F – news – people ) killed Edsel. Killing Edsel was a shame because the dealer organization had been built and, in time, sales would have grown. But Ford’s chief, Henry Ford II, was incensed at the initial failure of the car that bore his father’s name, and the Edsel division was destroyed. That was a half a century ago. More recently, General Motors killed Oldsmobile, and Chrysler killed Plymouth; and then this year, GM killed Pontiac and Hummer and promises to kill or sell Saturn. The excuse, usually, is that the company has too many brands and that it costs too much to develop new models all the time. Wall Street analysts often push the companies in this direction. There’s no question that it’s costly to keep all those nameplates up to date. But there’s always a price to be paid: The customers are gone. [Read the full article]

DETROIT — Toyota Motor said Tuesday it will soon issue a recall for at least 3.8 million Toyota and Lexus vehicles to fix a potential safety problem caused by a car’s floor mat jamming the accelerator. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, meanwhile, urged motorists not to wait for a fix. “This is an urgent matter,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. “For everyone’s sake, we strongly urge owners of these vehicles to remove mats or other obstacles that could lead to unintended acceleration.” The impending U.S. recall, the largest in Toyota’s ( TM – news – people ) history, followed a horrific crash last month in San Diego in which a mat was suspected of snagging a gas pedal on a runaway Lexus, ending with a fiery crash that killed four family members. A minute before the crash, the driver called police to say the car had no brakes and the accelerator was stuck. [Read the full article]

UBS Investment Bank today announced that Michael Ostow will join its Investment Banking Department (IBD) as a Managing Director and Head of North American Insurance. He will be based in New York and report jointly to Gary Howe and Halle Benett, Americas Co-Heads of the Financial Institutions Group (FIG).

“Two years after the start of the financial crisis, financial institutions continue to face unprecedented challenges, which have led to a high volume of transactions, from capital raising to restructuring to M&A,” said Howe. “The addition of Michael to lead our insurance effort in North America will strengthen our coverage of this important sector.”

Ostow, 41, will join UBS from Morgan Stanley, where he was most recently Co-Head of the North American Insurance Group within its FIG practice. Previously, he was a Managing Director in the FIG practice at Credit Suisse, where he had coverage responsibilities for insurance companies. Early in his career, Ostow was an associate in the FIG practice at UBS in New York.

“The insurance sector is currently undergoing enormous change, and we are seeing a significant pipeline of insurance-related transactions,” said Benett. “Michael brings enormous experience in insurance and every type of transaction, and I am confident he will add significantly to our ability to provide our clients with superior advice and execution.”

Ostow holds a BS from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA from Columbia Business School.

The UBS Financial Institutions Group is comprised of leading practice areas in banks, asset management, financial technology and exchanges, specialty finance, and insurance. UBS’s global FIG practice has worked on numerous high-profile transactions in capital markets and M&A advisory over the past 12 months, including roles as lead financial advisor to PartnerRe on its $2 billion acquisition of PARIS RE; bookrunner on Wells Fargo’s $12.6 billion follow-on equity offering; financial advisor to AerCap Holdings on its $1.75 billion acquisition of Genesis Lease Ltd.; advisor to Sumitomo Trust on its $1.2 billion acquisition of Nikko Asset Management; and lead financing provider to CME Group for the $1.6 billion cash portion of its acquisition of NYMEX.

Headquartered in Zurich and Basel, Switzerland, UBS is one of the world’s leading financial firms. It serves a discerning, international client base with its wealth management, investment banking and asset management businesses. In Switzerland, UBS is the market leader in retail and commercial banking.
