Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) is intended to help you understand Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC (the “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us”). Our MD&A should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes, and with Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Overview
We own and acquire high quality infrastructure and related equipment that is essential for the transportation of goods and people globally. We target assets that, on a combined basis, generate strong cash flows with potential for earnings growth and asset appreciation. We believe that there is a large number of acquisition opportunities in our markets and that our Manager’s expertise and business and financing relationships, together with our access to capital, will allow us to take advantage of these opportunities. We are externally managed by FIG LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of Fortress Investment Group LLC (“Fortress”), which has a dedicated team of experienced professionals focused on the acquisition of transportation and infrastructure assets since 2002. As of June 30, 2021, we had total consolidated assets of $3.6 billion and total equity of $1.0 billion.
Impact of COVID-19
Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, we have taken measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, including having employees work remotely, where possible. Market conditions due to the outbreak of COVID-19 resulted in asset impairment charges and a decline in our equipment leasing revenues during the six months ended June 30, 2021. A number of our lessees continue to experience increased financial stress due to the significant decline in travel demand, particularly as various regions experience spikes in COVID-19 cases. A number of these lessees have been placed on non-accrual status as of June 30, 2021; however, we believe our overall portfolio exposure is limited by maintenance reserves and security deposits which are secured against lessee defaults. The value of these deposits was $155.1 million as of June 30, 2021. The extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration, severity and spread of the pandemic, as well as additional waves of COVID-19 infections and the ultimate impact of related restrictions imposed by the U.S. and international governments, all of which remain uncertain. For additional detail, see Liquidity and Capital Resources and Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors—“The COVID-19 pandemic has severely disrupted the global economy and may have, and the emergence of similar crises could have, material adverse effects on our business, results of operations or financial condition.”
Operating Segments
Our operations consist of two primary strategic business units – Infrastructure and Equipment Leasing. Our Infrastructure Business acquires long-lived assets that provide mission-critical services or functions to transportation networks and typically have high barriers to entry. We target or develop operating businesses with strong margins, stable cash flows and upside from earnings growth and asset appreciation driven by increased use and inflation. Our Equipment Leasing Business acquires assets that are designed to carry cargo or people or provide functionality to transportation infrastructure. Transportation equipment assets are typically long-lived, moveable and leased by us on either operating leases or finance leases to companies that provide transportation services. Our leases generally provide for long-term contractual cash flow with high cash-on-cash yields and include structural protections to mitigate credit risk.
Our reportable segments are comprised of interests in different types of infrastructure and equipment leasing assets. We currently conduct our business through the following three reportable segments: (i) Aviation Leasing, which is within the Equipment Leasing Business, and (ii) Jefferson Terminal and (iii) Ports and Terminals, which together comprise our Infrastructure Business. The Aviation Leasing segment consists of aircraft and aircraft engines held for lease and are typically held long-term. The Jefferson Terminal segment consists of a multi-modal crude and refined products terminal and other related assets which were acquired in 2014. The Ports and Terminals segment consists of Repauno, acquired in 2016, a 1,630-acre deep-water port located along the Delaware River with an underground storage cavern and multiple industrial development opportunities. Additionally, Ports and Terminals includes an equity method investment (“Long Ridge”), which is a 1,660-acre multi-modal port located along the Ohio River with rail, dock, and multiple industrial development opportunities, including a power plant under construction.
Corporate and Other primarily consists of debt, unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses, and management fees. Additionally, Corporate and Other includes (i) offshore energy related assets which consist of vessels and equipment that support offshore oil and gas activities and are typically subject to operating leases, (ii) an investment in an unconsolidated entity engaged in the leasing of shipping containers and (iii) railroad assets retained after the December 2019 sale, which consists of equipment that support a railcar cleaning business.
Our reportable segments are comprised of investments in different types of transportation infrastructure and equipment. Each segment requires different investment strategies. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies; however, financial information presented by segment includes the impact of intercompany eliminations.

Results of Operations
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)
The chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) utilizes Adjusted EBITDA as the key performance measure. This performance measure provides the CODM with the information necessary to assess operational performance, as well as make resource and allocation decisions. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is a useful metric for investors and analysts for similar purposes of assessing our operational performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of provision for (benefit from) income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and capital lease obligations, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expense, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities and the non-controlling share of Adjusted EBITDA.

Aviation Leasing Segment
As of June 30, 2021, in our Aviation Leasing segment, we own and manage 284 aviation assets, consisting of 77 commercial aircraft and 207 engines.
As of June 30, 2021, 68 of our commercial aircraft and 134 of our engines were leased to operators or other third parties. Aviation assets currently off lease are either undergoing repair and/or maintenance, being prepared to go on lease or held in short term storage awaiting a future lease. Our aviation equipment was approximately 74% utilized during the three months ended June 30, 2021, based on the percent of days on-lease in the quarter weighted by the monthly average equity value of our aviation leasing equipment, excluding airframes. Our aircraft currently have a weighted average remaining lease term of 36 months, and our engines currently on-lease have an average remaining lease term of 18 months.

Total revenues decreased $3.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily due to (i) a decrease of $4.4 million in the offshore energy business primarily due to one of our vessels being on hire longer in 2020 compared to 2021, partially offset by (ii) an increase of $0.5 million in our railcar cleaning business due to higher volumes.
Expenses
Comparison of the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Total expenses increased $16.2 million primarily due to higher (i) interest expense and (ii) acquisition and transaction expense, partially offset by lower (iii) general and administrative expense.
Interest expense increased $14.9 million, which reflects an increase in the average outstanding debt of approximately $652.1 million due to increases in (i) the Senior Notes due 2028 of $500.0 million, (ii) the Senior Notes due 2025 of $407.1 million and (iii) the Senior Notes due 2027 of $400.0 million, partially offset by decreases in (iv) the Senior Notes due 2022 of $565.0 million, which was redeemed in full in May 2021 and (v) the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined below in Liquidity and Capital Resources) of $90.0 million.
Acquisition and transaction expense increased $2.0 million, primarily due to higher professional fees.
General and administrative expense decreased $0.7 million, primarily due to lower professional fees.
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
Total expenses increased $28.8 million primarily due to higher (i) interest expense and (ii) acquisition and transaction expense, partially offset by lower (iii) management fees and incentive allocation to affiliate and (iv) general and administrative expense.
Interest expense increased $27.3 million, which reflects an increase in the average outstanding debt of approximately $586.8 million due to increases in (i) the Senior Notes due 2025 of $407.3 million, (ii) the Senior Notes due 2027 of $400.0 million and (iii) the Senior Notes due 2028 of $250.0 million, partially offset by decreases in (iv) the Senior Notes due 2022 of $431.9 million, which was redeemed in full in May 2021, (v) the Revolving Credit Facility of $26.7 million and (vi) the FTAI Pride Credit Agreement of $12.0 million, which was repaid in full in March 2020.
Acquisition and transaction expense increased $2.7 million, primarily due to higher professional fees.
56
Management fees and incentive allocation to affiliate decreased $1.4 million, which reflects a decrease in the base management fee as our average total equity is lower in 2021 compared to 2020.
General and administrative expense decreased $1.1 million, primarily due to lower professional fees.
Other expense
Total other expense increased $3.0 million and $2.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.3 million related to the redemption of the Senior Notes due 2022 in May 2021.
Adjusted EBITDA (Non-GAAP)
Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.0 million and $4.9 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, primarily due to the changes noted above.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
In April 2021, we issued $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes due 2028 (see Note 20 to the consolidated financial statements). On May 7, 2021, we used a portion of the net proceeds to redeem in full the Senior Notes due 2022, which totaled $400 million aggregate principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
In June 2017, we entered in a revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In July 2021, we drew down an additional $50 million under the Revolving Credit Facility. Following the drawdown, we have additional borrowing capacity of $100 million under the Revolving Credit Facility.
In July 2021, we entered into a senior unsecured bridge term loan facility (the “Bridge Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of $650 million in order to finance the acquisition of Transtar, LLC, which closed on July 28, 2021. The Bridge Facility matures in one year and bears interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate (determined in accordance with the credit agreement) plus 5.50% per annum (the “Initial Margin”) for the first three-month period. The Initial Margin will increase by an additional 50 basis points at the end of each three-month period thereafter until maturity. During the third quarter of 2021 we plan to raise debt and/or equity to refinance the Bridge Facility.
We believe we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our cash needs, however, we continue to evaluate and take action, as necessary, to preserve adequate liquidity and ensure that our business can continue to operate during these uncertain times. This includes limiting discretionary spending across the organization and re-prioritizing our capital projects amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our principal uses of liquidity have been and continue to be (i) acquisitions of transportation infrastructure and equipment, (ii) dividends to our shareholders and holders of eligible participating securities, (iii) expenses associated with our operating activities, and (iv) debt service obligations associated with our investments.
• Cash used for the purpose of making investments was $265.1 million and $341.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
• Dividends to shareholders and holders of eligible participating securities were $68.0 million and $65.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
• Uses of liquidity associated with our operating expenses are captured on a net basis in our cash flows from operating activities. Uses of liquidity associated with our debt obligations are captured in our cash flows from financing activities.
Our principal sources of liquidity to fund these uses have been and continue to be (i) revenues from our transportation infrastructure and equipment assets (including finance lease collections and maintenance reserve collections) net of operating expenses, (ii) proceeds from borrowings or the issuance of securities and (iii) proceeds from asset sales.
• Cash flows (used in) provided from operating activities, plus the principal collections on finance leases and maintenance reserve collections were $(46.4) million and $66.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
• During the six months ended June 30, 2021, additional borrowings were obtained in connection with the (i) Senior Notes due 2028 of $500.0 million, (ii) Revolving Credit Facility of $250.0 million and (iii) EB-5 Loan Agreement of $26.1 million. We made total principal repayments of $552.7 million relating to the Senior Notes due 2022 and Revolving Credit Facility. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, additional borrowings were obtained in connection with the (i) Series 2020 Bonds of $264.0 million and (ii) Revolving Credit Facility of $195.0 million. We made total principal repayments of $276.0 million relating to the Series 2016 Bonds, Series 2012 Bonds, Jefferson Revolver and FTAI Pride Credit Agreement.
• Proceeds from the sale of assets were $57.2 million and $37.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
• Proceeds from the issuance of preferred shares, net of underwriter’s discount and issuance costs were $101.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
57
We are currently evaluating several potential Infrastructure and Equipment Leasing transactions, which could occur within the next 12 months. However, as of the date of this filing, other than the acquisition of Transtar, LLC, none of these transactions or negotiations are definitive or included within our planned liquidity needs. We cannot assure if or when any such transaction will be consummated or the terms of any such transaction.
Historical Cash Flow
Comparison of the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020
The following table compares the historical cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
Six Months Ended June 30,
(in thousands) 2021 2020
Cash Flow Data:
Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities $ (63,924) $ 44,652
Net cash used in investing activities (204,209) (298,122)
Net cash provided by financing activities 249,960 111,001
Net cash used in operating activities increased $108.6 million, which primarily reflects (i) an increase in our net loss of $52.7 million primarily due to lower revenues and higher interest expense and (ii) changes in working capital of $30.6 million.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $93.9 million, primarily due to (i) a decrease in acquisitions of property, plant and equipment of $45.9 million, (ii) a decrease in acquisitions of leasing equipment of $36.2 million and (ii) lower proceeds from the sale of leasing equipment of $19.5 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $139.0 million, primarily due to (i) an increase in proceeds from debt of $317.1 million, (ii) an increase in proceeds from the issuance of preferred shares of $101.5 million, partially offset by (iii) an increase in repayments of debt of $276.7 million.
We use Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”) in evaluating our ability to meet our stated dividend policy. FAD is not a financial measure in accordance with GAAP. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to FAD is net cash provided by operating activities. We believe FAD is a useful metric for investors and analysts for similar purposes.
We define FAD as: net cash provided by operating activities plus principal collections on finance leases, proceeds from sale of assets, and return of capital distributions from unconsolidated entities, less required payments on debt obligations and capital distributions to non-controlling interest, and excludes changes in working capital. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Operating Activities to FAD:
Six Months Ended June 30,

________________________________________________________
(1) Required payments on debt obligations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 exclude repayments of $402,704 for the Senior Notes due 2022 and $150,000 for the Revolving Credit Facility and for the six months ended June 30, 2020 exclude repayments of $144,200 for the Series 2016 Bonds, $50,262 for the Jefferson Revolver, $45,520 for the Series 2012 Bonds and $36,009 for the FTAI Pride Credit Agreement.
Limitations
FAD is subject to a number of limitations and assumptions and there can be no assurance that we will generate FAD sufficient to meet our intended dividends. FAD has material limitations as a liquidity measure because such measure excludes items that are required elements of our net cash provided by operating activities as described below. FAD should not be considered in isolation nor as a substitute for analysis of our results of operations under GAAP, and it is not the only metric that should be considered in evaluating our ability to meet our stated dividend policy. Specifically:
• FAD does not include equity capital called from our existing limited partners, proceeds from any debt issuance or future equity offering, historical cash and cash equivalents and expected investments in our operations.
• FAD does not give pro forma effect to prior acquisitions, certain of which cannot be quantified.
58
• While FAD reflects the cash inflows from sale of certain assets, FAD does not reflect the cash outflows to acquire assets as we rely on alternative sources of liquidity to fund such purchases.
• FAD does not reflect expenditures related to capital expenditures, acquisitions and other investments as we have multiple sources of liquidity and intend to fund these expenditures with future incurrences of indebtedness, additional capital contributions and/or future issuances of equity.
• FAD does not reflect any maintenance capital expenditures necessary to maintain the same level of cash generation from our capital investments.
• FAD does not reflect changes in working capital balances as management believes that changes in working capital are primarily driven by short term timing differences, which are not meaningful to our distribution decisions.
• Management has significant discretion to make distributions, and we are not bound by any contractual provision that requires us to use cash for distributions.
If such factors were included in FAD, there can be no assurance that the results would be consistent with our presentation of FAD.

(1) Estimated interest rates as of June 30, 2021.
(2) Relates to a two-year pipeline capacity agreement at Jefferson Terminal.
We expect to meet our future short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand, unused borrowing capacity or future financings and net cash provided by our current operations. We expect that our operating subsidiaries will generate sufficient cash flow to cover operating expenses and the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness as they become due. We may elect to meet certain long-term liquidity requirements or to continue to pursue strategic opportunities through utilizing cash on hand, cash generated from our current operations and the issuance of securities in the future. Management believes adequate capital and borrowings are available from various sources to fund our commitments to the extent required.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies
Goodwill — Goodwill includes the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Jefferson Terminal. The carrying amount of goodwill was approximately $122.7 million as of both June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
We review the carrying values of goodwill at least annually to assess impairment since these assets are not amortized. An annual impairment review is conducted as of October 1st of each year. Additionally, we review the carrying value of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The determination of fair value involves significant management judgment.
For an annual goodwill impairment assessment, an optional qualitative analysis may be performed. If the option is not elected or if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a quantitative impairment test is performed to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure an impairment loss. A qualitative analysis was not elected for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Beginning in 2020, we adopted new guidance regarding the testing and recognition of a goodwill impairment which prior to 2020 required two steps. A goodwill impairment assessment compares the fair value of a respective reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimate of fair value of the respective reporting unit is based on the best information available as of the date of assessment, which primarily incorporates certain factors including our assumptions about operating results, business plans, income projections, anticipated future cash flows and market data. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is recorded to the extent of any goodwill recorded in the reporting unit.
We estimate the fair value of the reporting units using an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis. This analysis requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows (including forecasted revenue growth rates and EBITDA margins), capital expenditures and discount rates. The estimates and assumptions used consider historical performance if indicative of future performance, and are consistent with the assumptions used in determining future profit plans for the reporting units.
Although we believe the estimates of fair value are reasonable, the determination of certain valuation inputs is subject to management’s judgment. Changes in these inputs, including as a result of events beyond our control, could materially affect the results of the impairment review. If the forecasted cash flows of the Jefferson Terminal reporting unit or other key inputs are negatively revised in the future, the estimated fair value of the Jefferson Terminal reporting unit could be adversely impacted, potentially leading to an impairment in the future that could materially affect our operating results. The Jefferson Terminal segment forecasted revenue is dependent on the ramp up of volumes under current and expected future contracts for storage of heavy and light crude and refined products during 2021 and beyond subject to obtaining rail capacity for crude, expansion of refined product distribution to Mexico and movements in future oil spreads. Jefferson Terminal was designed to reach a storage capacity of 21.7 million barrels, and 4.4 million of storage, or approximately 20.3% of capacity, is currently operational. If the Company strategy changes from planned capacity downward due to an inability to source contracts or expand volumes, the fair value of the reporting units would be negatively affected, which could lead to an impairment. The expansion of refineries in the Beaumont/Port Arthur area, as well as growing crude oil production in the U.S. and Canada, are expected to result in increased demand for storage on the U.S. Gulf Coast. Although we do not have significant direct exposure to volatility of crude oil prices, changes in crude oil pricing that effect long term refining planned output could impact Jefferson Terminal operations. Other assumptions utilized in our annual impairment analysis that are significant in determination of the fair value of the reporting unit include the discount rate utilized in our discounted cash flow analysis of 13.5% and our terminal growth rate of 2%.
Furthermore, both inbound and outbound pipelines projects are becoming fully operational early in 2021 to and from the Jefferson Terminal and will affect our forecasted growth and therefore our estimated fair value. We expect the Jefferson Terminal segment to continue to generate positive Adjusted EBITDA during 2021. Although certain of our anticipated contracts or expected volumes from existing contracts for Jefferson Terminal have been delayed, we continue to believe our projected revenues are achievable. Further delays in executing these contracts or achieving our projections could adversely affect the fair value of the reporting unit. The impact of the COVID-19 global pandemic during 2020 certainly negatively affected refining volumes and therefore Jefferson Terminal crude throughput but we anticipate the impact to normalize over 2021 and ramp back to normal levels by 2022. Furthermore, we anticipate strengthening macroeconomic demand for storage and the increasing spread between Western Canadian Crude and Western Texas Intermediate as Canadian crude pipeline apportionment increases and our pipeline connections become fully operational during 2021, we remain positive for the outlook of Jefferson Terminal’s earnings potential.
There was no impairment of goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2020.
