Avation PLC on Thursday reported a ‘year of consolidation’, as it posted revenue gains but saw its bottom line hurt by unrealised losses. The Singapore-based commercial aircraft leasing company reported a pretax loss from continuing operations of $9.7 million for the financial year that ended June 30, swinging from $30.0 million in profit a year earlier. Revenue however rose 19% to $110.1 million from $92.4 million, as lease rental revenue edged up 2.5% to $89.9 million from $87.7 million, and maintenance reserves revenue multiplied to $22.1 million from $5.4 million. The weaker bottom line amid the improved revenue is owed to a swing to an unrealised loss on aircraft purchase rights and pre-delivery aircraft deposits paid of $21.6 million, from a $46.9 million gain a year prior. The company declared an interim dividend of 1.0 US cents per share for financial 2025. Its final dividend for financial 2024 stood at 0.5 pence.
