On an adjusted basis, Atlas reported a third quarter EBITDA of $194 million versus $280.5 million during Q3 2021, and an adjusted net income of $78.8 million or $2.69 per diluted share, versus $145.4 million or $4.88 per diluted share during the third quarter of 2021.

In Thursday’s announcement, Atlas Air Worldwide’s President and Chief Executive Officer, John W. Dietrich, said,
“We continued to see strong demand for our services during the third quarter. We were also pleased to announce a long-term ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance) agreement under which all four of our new and incoming 777-200 freighters are placed with MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company SA. Notwithstanding this strong demand, our third-quarter performance was impacted by operational disruptions related to an increase in COVID-19 cases, particularly in July and August, as well as the effects of Hurricane Ian at the end of the quarter. I would like to thank our Atlas team for working together through these challenges on behalf of our customers.”
As previously announced on August 4, 2022, Atlas Air Worldwide will be acquired by an investor group led by funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc., along with investment affiliates of J.F.

All aircraft have already been placed with customers under long-term agreements.
