AerCap Holdings N.V. and Subsidiaries

 

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(US dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

1. General

 

The Company

 

We are an integrated global aviation company, conducting aircraft and engine leasing and trading and parts sales. We also provide a wide range of aircraft management services to other owners of aircraft. We are headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with principal offices in Shannon, Ireland, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, Florida and Goodyear, Arizona.

 

These condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AerCap Holdings N.V. and its subsidiaries. AerCap Holdings N.V. is a Netherlands public limited liability company (“naamloze vennootschap”) formed on July 10, 2006 for the purpose of acquiring all of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V. AerCap Holdings C.V. is a limited partnership (“commanditaire vennootschap”) formed under the laws of The Netherlands on June 27, 2005 for the purposes of acquiring the share capital, subordinated debt and senior debt of debis AirFinance B.V. (“AerCap B.V.”), which occurred on June 30, 2005 (the “2005 Acquisition”). In anticipation of our initial public offering, we changed our corporate structure from a Netherlands partnership to a Netherlands public limited liability company. This change was effected through the acquisition of all of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V. by AerCap Holdings N.V. on October 27, 2006. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141, “Business Combinations”, this acquisition was a transaction under common control and accordingly, AerCap Holdings N.V. recognized the acquisition of the assets and liabilities of AerCap Holdings C.V. at their carrying values and no goodwill or other intangible assets were recognized. Additionally in accordance with SFAS 141, these consolidated financial statements are presented as if AerCap Holdings N.V. had been the acquiring entity of AerCap B.V. on June 30, 2005. On November 27, 2006, we completed an initial public offering of 6,800,000 of our ordinary shares at $23 per share generating net proceeds of $143,017 which we used to repay debt.

 

Variable interest entities

 

In January 2006, we sold a 50% equity interest in AerVenture Ltd. (“AerVenture”), previously a wholly-owned entity, to LoadAir, a subsidiary of Al Fawares, an investment and construction company based in Kuwait. AerVenture had contracted with Airbus for the delivery of up to 70 A320 family aircraft, including five aircraft subject to reconfirmation rights, with the intent of leasing these aircraft to third parties. The joint venture agreement required us to make certain specified equity contributions and additional equity capital available to AerVenture depending on capital needs in the future. We have entered into agreements to provide management and marketing services to AerVenture in return for management fees. We determined that AerVenture was a variable interest entity for which we were the primary beneficiary. As such, we continued to consolidate AerVenture in our accounts since its inception date. In March 2009, LoadAir failed to make $80.0 million in required capital contributions to AerVenture, and as a result, LoadAir lost its voting rights and economic rights in AerVenture. In addition, all of the directors appointed by LoadAir were automatically removed. In June 2009, the 50% investment of LoadAir was redeemed by AerVenture in conjunction with the sale of a 50% equity interest in AerVenture to a new joint venture partner, Waha Capital PJSC (“Waha Capital”). We have determined that AerVenture continues to be a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. As such, we  continue to consolidate AerVenture in our accounts.

2.  Basis for presentation

 

Our financial statements are presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

We consolidate all companies in which we have a direct and indirect legal or effective control and all variable interest entities for which we are deemed the primary beneficiary under FIN 46R. All intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. The results of consolidated entities are included from the effective date of control or, in the case of variable interest entities, from the date that we are or become the primary beneficiary. The results of subsidiaries sold or otherwise deconsolidated are excluded from the date that we cease to control the subsidiary or, in the case of variable interest entities, when we cease to be the primary beneficiary.

 

Other investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence and joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

 

The consolidated financial statements are stated in United States dollars, which is our functional currency.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, it is suggested that these interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2008. In the opinion of management, these financial statements, which have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting, reflect all adjustments, which consisted only of normal recurring adjustments which were necessary to state fairly the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For us, the use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting the reported carrying values of flight equipment, inventory, intangibles, goodwill, investments, trade and notes receivable, deferred tax assets and accruals and reserves. Management utilizes professional appraisers and valuation experts, where possible, to support estimates, particularly with respect to flight equipment. Despite management’s best efforts to accurately estimate such amounts, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

 

3.  Recent accounting pronouncements

 

FSP No. 115-2 and FAS 124-2

 

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FSP No. 115-2/124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments. FSP No. 115-2/124-2 is an amendment of SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities and SFAS No. 124, Accounting for Certain Investments Held by Not-for-Profit Organizations. FSP No. 115-2/124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairment guidance for debt securities and expands the presentation and disclosure of other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. The effective date of FSP No. 115-2/124-2 is for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of FSP No. 115-2/124-2 did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operation.

FSP SFAS 157-4

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP SFAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP SFAS 157-4”). FSP SFAS 157-4 provides guidance for estimating fair value in accordance with SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”), when the volume and level of activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and for identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly. FSP SFAS 157-4 also requires extensive additional fair value disclosures. The adoption of FSP SFAS 157-4 did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operation.

 

SFAS 165

 

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 165, Subsequent Events (“SFAS 165”). SFAS 165 addresses accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events. SFAS 165 requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued, depending on the company’s expectation of whether it will widely distribute its financial statements to its shareholders and other financial statement users. Companies are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operation. The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through September 1, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued.”

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets—an amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” (“SFAS 166”). SFAS 166 removes the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (“QSPE”) from SFAS 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities” and removes the exception from applying FIN 46R to QSPEs. SFAS 166 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2010. Earlier application is prohibited. We believe the adoption will have no effect on our financial position or results of operation.

 

SFAS 167

 

In June 2009, FASB issued SFAS 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” (“SFAS 167”). SFAS 167 amends the consolidation analysis with an approach focused on identifying which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly affect the entity’s economic performance and (i) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or (ii) the right to receive benefits from the entity, and improves financial reporting by enterprises involved with VIEs. SFAS 167 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2010 for us. Earlier application is prohibited. We are assessing the effect the adoption of SFAS 167 will have on our financial position or results of operation.

 

SFAS 168

 

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“SFAS 168”). The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification”) will become the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. SFAS 168 will bring together in one place all authoritative GAAP previously held at different levels of GAAP. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. On the effective date of this Statement, the Codification will supersede all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification will become non-authoritative. This Statement is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS 168 will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operation.

4. Fair value measurements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2008.

 

Under SFAS 157, the Company determines fair value based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is the Company’s policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as described below. Where limited or no observable market data exists, fair value measurements for assets and liabilities are based primarily on management’s own estimates and are calculated based upon the Company’s pricing policy, the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results may not be realized in actual sale or immediate settlement of the assets or liability.

 

The Company adopted SFAS 157 for all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis prospectively from January 1, 2008. The application of SFAS 157 for financial instruments which are periodically measured at fair value did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

Under SFAS 157, there is a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring assets and liabilities at fair value.

 

The three broad levels defined by the SFAS 157 hierarchy are as follows:

 

Level 1 — Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

 

Level 2 — Observable market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.

 

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs from the Company’s own assumptions about market risk developed based on the best information available, subject to cost-benefit analysis. Inputs may include the Company’s own data.

 

When there are no observable comparables, inputs used to determine value are derived through extrapolation and interpolation and other Company-specific inputs such as projected financial data and the Company’s own views about the assumptions that market participants would use.

 

The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2009 that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

Our cash and cash equivalents, along with our restricted cash and cash equivalents balances, consists largely of money market securities that are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable. These securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. Our derivative assets and liabilities included in level 2 consist of United States dollar denominated interest rate caps and foreign currency forward contracts swaps. Their fair values are determined by applying standard modeling techniques under the income approach to relevant market interest rates (cash rates, futures rates, swap rates) in effect at the period close to determine appropriate reset and discount rates. Changes in fair value are recognized immediately in income.

We also measure the fair value of certain assets and liabilities on a non-recurring basis, when GAAP requires the application of fair value, including events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include aircraft. We record aircraft at fair value when we determine the carrying value may not be recoverable, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” and other accounting pronouncements requiring remeasurements at fair value. Fair value measurements for aircraft in impairment tests are based on level 3 inputs, which include the Company’s assumptions and appraisal data as to future cash proceeds from leasing and selling aircraft. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized an impairment of $21.0 million. The impairment related to six older A320 aircraft which was triggered by the receipt of $21.0 million of end-of-lease payments from the previous lessees. These end-of-lease payments were recorded as lease revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

 

Our financial instruments consist principally of notes receivable, restricted cash, derivative assets and cash equivalents. The fair value of notes receivable, restricted cash and cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying value of these financial instruments because of their short term nature.

 

The fair values of our debt are estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on our current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.

 

The carrying amounts and fair values of our financial instruments at June 30, 2009 are as follows:

(a)          In March 2009, LoadAir failed to make $80.0 million in required capital contributions to AerVenture, and as a result, LoadAir lost its voting rights and economic rights in AerVenture with the exception of certain rights to limited residual payments upon liquidation of AerVenture. As of March 31, 2009 AerVenture was a wholly owned subsidiary. The default of LoadAir increased AerCap Holdings N.V Shareholders’ Equity by $25,078, through the elimination of the related non-controlling interest.

(b)         In June 2009, we sold 50% of AerVenture to Waha Capital. The sale to Waha Capital decreased AerCap Holdings N.V Shareholders’ Equity by $44,781, through the establishment of the related non-controlling interest.

AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Grants

 

No additional stock options were issued under the NV Equity Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2009. At June 30, 2009, there were 2.4 million stock options outstanding at an exercise price of $24.63 per share, 100,000 stock options outstanding at an exercise price of $15.03 per share and 700,000 stock options outstanding at an exercise price of $2.95 per share. At June 30, 2009, 300,000 outstanding options were vested, 312,500 options were subject to performance criteria which were not met and were therefore unexercisable and 2,587,500 options were subject to future time and performance-based vesting criteria. Assuming that vesting criteria applicable to unvested stock options are met in the future, including performance criteria, and that no forfeitures occur, we expect to recognize share-based compensation charges related to NV Equity Grants of approximately $1,811 during the remainder of 2009 and approximately $3,610, $2,660 and $34 during the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read this discussion in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Interim Report. Our financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP and are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

Special Note About Forward Looking Statements

 

This report includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based these forward looking statements largely on our current beliefs and projections about future events and financial trends affecting our business. Many important factors, in addition to those discussed in this report, could cause our actual results to differ substantially from those anticipated in our forward looking statements, including, among other things:

 

·                  the availability of capital to us and to our customers and changes in interest rates,

 

·                  the ability of our lessees and potential lessees to make operating lease payments to us,

 

·                  our ability to successfully negotiate aircraft and engine purchases, sales and leases, to collect outstanding amounts due and to repossess aircraft and engines under defaulted leases, and to control costs and expenses,

 

·                  decreases in the overall demand for commercial aircraft and engine leasing and aircraft management services,

 

·                  the economic condition of the global airline and cargo industry,

 

·                  competitive pressures within the industry,

 

·                  the negotiation of aircraft management services contracts,

 

·                  regulatory changes affecting commercial aircraft operators, aircraft maintenance, engine standards, accounting standards and taxes, and

 

·                  the risks set forth in “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009.

 

The words “believe”, “may”, “will”, “aim”, “estimate”, “continue”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “expect” and similar words are intended to identify forward looking statements. Forward looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they were made and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or to revise any forward looking statements because of new information, future events or other factors. In light of the risks and uncertainties described above, the forward looking events and circumstances described in this annual report might not occur and are not guarantees of future performance.

Aircraft Portfolio

 

As of June 30, 2009, we owned and managed 221 aircraft. We owned 166 aircraft and managed 55 aircraft in our aircraft business. As of June 30, 2009, we leased these aircraft to 75 commercial airlines and cargo operator customers in 40 countries. In addition, as of June 30, 2009, we had 38 new Airbus A320 family narrow-body aircraft and 27 new Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft on order. We also entered into a purchase contract for three aircraft and had executed letters of intent for the purchase of two aircraft. Including all owned and managed aircraft, aircraft under contract or letter of intent and aircraft in our order book, our portfolio totals 291 aircraft as of June 30, 2009.

In July 2008, we entered into an agreement with Airbus Freighter Conversions GmbH (“AFC”) whereby AFC would convert 30 of our older Airbus A320s and A321s from passenger to freighter aircraft. Delivery of the first converted aircraft is expected to take place in 2011, with the remaining 29 aircraft scheduled for conversion between 2012 and 2015. In the future we may choose to acquire additional freighter aircraft or continue to convert some of our older A320 and A321 aircraft to freighter aircraft.

 

Engine Portfolio

 

We maintain a diverse inventory of high-demand, modern and fuel-efficient engines. As of June 30, 2009, we owned 82 engines and had one new engine on order through our wholly owned subsidiary AeroTurbine. Our engine portfolio consists primarily of CFM56 series engines, one of the most widely used engines in the commercial aviation market. As of June 30, 2009, 60 of our 82 engines were CFM56 series engines manufactured by CFM International.

 

Inventory

 

Our inventory consists of aircraft and engine parts. The aircraft and engine parts sales allow us to increase value of our aircraft and engine assets by putting each sub-component (engines, airframes and related parts) to its most profitable use. We sell aircraft and engine parts primarily to parts distributors and maintenance, repair and overhaul (“MRO”) service providers.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009, except the following:

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

We use derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to interest rate risks and foreign currency risks. Derivatives are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.

 

All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in fair values between periods are currently recognized as a reduction or increase of interest expense on the income statement, as we do not currently apply hedge accounting to our current derivatives. In the future we may enter into derivatives for which we may apply hedge accounting. Changes in fair values between periods for derivatives for which we would apply cash flow hedge accounting would be recognized as a reduction or increase of accumulated other comprehensive income. Net cash received or paid under derivative contracts where material in any reporting period is classified as operating cash flow in our consolidated cash flow statements.

·                  Basic rents increased by $29.7 million, or 11.7%, to $282.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $253.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in basic rents was attributable primarily to:

 

·                 the acquisition between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009 of 79 aircraft for lease with an aggregate net book value of $2.2 billion at the date of acquisition, partially offset by the sale of 28 aircraft, during such period, with an aggregate net book value of $0.4 billion at the date of sale. The net increase in our aircraft portfolio resulted in a $51.1 million increase in basic rents;

 

19



 

partially offset by

 

·                 a decrease in payments from leases with lease rates tied to floating interest rates in the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to decreases in market interest rates, which resulted in a $9.7 million decrease in basic rents;

 

·                 a decrease of $4.0 million in basic rents in the six months ended June 30, 2009, resulting from the decrease in our engine lease activities;

 

·                 a decrease in basic rents of $3.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as a result of airline defaults which occurred in 2008.

 

·                  Maintenance rents and end-of-lease compensation increased by $13.2 million, or 37.6%, to $48.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $35.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase in maintenance rents is attributable to the termination of several leases, which resulted in the recording of $21.0 million of incremental maintenance rents.

 

·                  Sales revenue decreased by $169.8 million, or 52.2%, to $153.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $323.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in sales revenue is mainly a result of reduced aircraft sales in the six months ended June 30, 2009, due, in large part, to a reduction in liquidity in the aircraft trading market. Sales revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2009 was generated from the sale of two aircraft, six engines and parts inventory. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, we sold two A321 aircraft, whereas in the six months ended June 30, 2008, we sold one A330 aircraft, two A321 aircraft, seven A320 aircraft, two Boeing 737 aircraft, one MD 83 aircraft, two MD82 aircraft, one DC8 aircraft and two Fokker 100 aircraft.

 

·                  Interest revenue decreased by $4.8 million, or 48.0%, to $5.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $10.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease was mainly caused by a decrease in deposit rates of interest.

 

·                  Management fee revenue did not materially change in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

·                  Other revenue increased by $6.6 million to $7.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $0.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase was caused by the sale of one A320 forward order position, the sale of an investment in shares and other items.

 

Depreciation. Depreciation increased by $26.5 million, or 34.0%, to $104.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $78.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, due primarily to the acquisition of 79 new aircraft between January 1, 2008 and June 30, 2009 with a book value at the time of the acquisition of $2.2 billion. The increase was partially offset by the sale of 28 aircraft with a book value at the time of sale of $0.4 billion.

 

Asset Impairment. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized an impairment of $21.0 million. The impairment related to six older A320 aircraft which was triggered by the receipt of $21.0 million of end-of-lease payments from the previous lessees.  Asset impairment was $7.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and related to four MD82 aircraft, which came off-lease and were subsequently sold, and six engines which came off-lease and were subsequently parted out..

 

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased by $111.6 million, or 44.5%, to $139.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $250.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in cost of goods sold is mainly a result of the significant decrease in aircraft sales.

 

Interest on Debt. Our interest on debt decreased by $33.7 million, or 48.7%, to $35.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $69.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The majority of the decrease in interest on debt was mainly caused by:

 

·                  a decrease in our average cost of debt of 1.9% to 2.8% in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from 4.7% in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The decrease in our average cost of debt results from the use of caps as part of

 

20



 

our hedging strategy in combination with a decrease in interest rates. This resulted in a $30.2 million decrease in our interest on debt;

 

·                  a $16.8 million increase in the non-cash recognition of mark-to-market gains on derivatives to a $22.2 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from a $5.4 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2008;

 

partially offset by

 

·                  an increase in the average outstanding debt balance to $4.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $3.1 billion in the six months ended June 30, 2008, resulting in a $13.8 million increase in our interest on debt.

 

Other Operating Expenses. Our other operating expenses increased by $22.2 million, or 85.7%, to $48.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $25.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Our operating lease in costs did not materially change in the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

Our leasing expenses increased by $23.4 million, or 131.5%, to $41.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $17.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. The increase is primarily due to expenses of $11.3 million incurred in relation to airline defaults which occurred in 2008 plus an increase in lessor contributions and transition expenses.

 

Our provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable decreased by $0.9 million, or 75.0%, to $0.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $1.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. We did not have defaults that significantly affected the provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable in the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2009.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $8.3 million, or 13.6%, to $55.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $63.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, due primarily to (i) the decrease in the USD/EUR exchange rate in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, and (ii) a reduction in the number of employees during the twelve month period ended June 30, 2009.

 

Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes. For the reasons explained above, our income from continuing operations before income taxes decreased by $33.0 million, or 24.9%, to $99.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $132.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes decreased by $8.8 million or 76.5% to $2.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $11.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was 2.7% and was 8.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Our effective tax rate in any period is impacted by the mix of operations among our different tax jurisdictions.

 

Net Income. For the reasons explained above, net income decreased by $24.1 million, or 19.9%, to $97.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $121.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008.

Liquidity and Access to Capital

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash balance at June 30, 2009 was $346.6 million including restricted cash of $128.2 million and our operating cash flow was $219.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Our unused lines of credit at June 30, 2009 were approximately $3.6 billion. Our debt balance at June 30, 2009 was $4.3 billion and the average interest rate on our debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements on our interest rate caps during the six months ended June 30, 2009, was 2.8%. Our debt to equity ratio was 3.3 to 1 as of June 30, 2009.

 

We satisfy our liquidity requirements through several sources, including:

 

·                  lines of credit and other secured borrowings;

 

·                  aircraft and engine lease revenues;

 

·                  sales of aircraft, engines and parts;

 

·                  supplemental maintenance rent and security deposits provided by our lessees; and

 

·                  management fee revenue.

 

In order to access the required capital to meet our obligations under our forward purchase commitments, we have completed or have undertaken several initiatives as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009.

 

Since our 2008 20-F filing we have completed the following initiatives:

 

·                  On April 3, 2009, we sold two A321 aircraft which were owned by a non-restricted cash entity. The transaction generated unrestricted cash proceeds of $10.9 million.

 

·                  In June 2009, we signed a joint-venture agreement and sold 50% of our ownership in AerVenture to Waha Capital.

 

·                  In June 2009, we signed a facility agreements with HSH Nordbank AG for $221 million of pre-delivery financing on ten A330 aircraft.

 

·                  In July 2009, we signed a letter of intent for the sale of three A330-300 aircraft delivering in 2010. The cash and profit related to this sale will be recognized at  the time of physical delivery of the respective aircraft.

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities. Our cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $64.6 million, or 41.6%, to $219.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $155.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The primary reasons for the increase are: (i) an increase in our aircraft portfolio and (ii) a decrease of our interest expenses.

 

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities. Our cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $74.0 million, or 8.5%, to $797.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $871.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to (i) an decrease of $73.9 million in the movement in restricted cash in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as

compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008, and (ii) a decrease of $154.7 million in the net cash used in aircraft purchase and sale activity (including intangible lease premiums) in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 partially offset by an increase of $154.7 million in the amount of pre-delivery payments made in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities. Our cash flows provided by financing activities decreased by $49.0 million, or 7.5%, to $602.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2009 from $651.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2008. This decrease is attributable to a decrease of $153.2 million in new financing proceeds, net of repayments and debt issuance costs in the six months ended June 30, 2009 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2008 partially offset by the receipt of $104.2 million from our new AerVenture partner, Waha Capital.

 

Indebtedness

 

As of June 30, 2009, our outstanding indebtedness totaled $4.3 billion and primarily consisted of export credit facilities, commercial bank debt, revolving credit debt, securitization debt and capital lease structures.

Contractual Obligations

 

Our contractual obligations consist of principal and interest payments on debt, executed purchase agreements to purchase aircraft, operating lease rentals on aircraft under lease in/lease out structures and rent payments pursuant to our office leases. We intend to fund our contractual obligations through our lines of credit and other borrowings as well as internally generated cash flows. We believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our contractual obligations.

As we implement our growth strategy and expand our aircraft and engine portfolio, we expect our capital expenditures to increase in the future. We anticipate that we will fund these capital expenditures through internally generated cash flows, draw downs on our committed revolving credit facilities and the incurrence of bank, and other debt and equity issuances.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of June 30, 2009, we were obligated to make sublease payments under four aircraft operating leases of aircraft with lease expiration dates between 2009 and 2013. We lease these four aircraft to aircraft operators. Since we are not fully exposed to the risks and rewards of ownership of these aircraft, we do not include these aircraft on our balance sheet. In addition, we do not recognize a financial liability for our operating lease obligations under these leases on our balance sheet. Due to the fact that sublease receipts related to these four aircraft are insufficient to cover our lease obligations, we have recognized an onerous contract accrual on our balance sheet which is equal to the difference between the present value of the lease expenses and the present value of the sublease income discounted at appropriate discount rates. This accounting treatment, however, does not result in the same presentation as if we accounted for these aircraft as owned assets and the related operating lease obligations as debt liabilities.

 

We continue to have an economic interest in AerCo. This interest is not assigned any value on our balance sheet because we do not expect to realize any value for our investment. We also have other investments in companies or ventures in the airline industry which we obtain primarily through restructurings in our leasing business. The value of these investments is immaterial to our financial position.

 

We have entered into a joint venture, AerDragon, which does not qualify for consolidated accounting treatment. The assets and liabilities of this joint venture are off our balance sheet and we only record our net investment under the equity method of accounting.

 

INDEBTEDNESS

 

A detailed summary of the principal terms of our indebtedness can be found in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009. Following is a summary of changes to our indebtedness since our 20-F filing:

 

AerCap Ireland A330 Pre-delivery Payment Facilities

 

General.    In December 2006, we signed a purchase agreement to purchase up to 20 Airbus A330 aircraft. In May 2007, the purchase agreement was amended to add ten additional aircraft.  As of June 30, 2009, five of the aircraft had been delivered and the remaining are scheduled to be delivered prior to the end of 2012.

 

Under the purchase agreement, we agreed to make scheduled pre-delivery payments to Airbus prior to the physical delivery of each aircraft. In connection with the scheduled delivery of one aircraft in September 2010, AerCap Ireland Limited entered into a facility in March 2009 with HSH Nordbank AG to finance up to 70% of the pre-delivery payments for this aircraft.

 

In connection with the scheduled delivery of another ten aircraft between October 2009 and May 2012, AerCap Ireland Limited entered into a facility in June 2009 with HSH Nordbank AG to finance up to the EUR equivalent of  $221.2 million of the pre-delivery payments to Airbus.

 

Prior to drawing on the facilities, we will pay, on average, 23% of the pre-delivery payment amount owed for each aircraft. In each case, part of the facility will be used to refinance each of the pre-delivery payments already made by AerCap Ireland Limited in respect of the relevant aircraft and the rest will be used to pay to Airbus the remaining pre-delivery payments in respect of the relevant aircraft as such fall due and payable. AerCap Ireland Limited must repay the lenders for the amounts drawn for the pre-delivery payment for each aircraft at the delivery date of that aircraft or, if the aircraft is not delivered on the scheduled delivery date, within three months of the scheduled delivery date.

 

Interest Rate.    Borrowings under the first facility will bear interest at a floating interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a margin of 4% per annum. Borrowings under the second facility will bear interest at a floating interest rate of one-month EURIBOR plus a margin of 5.5% per annum. Interest under both facilities is payable monthly in arrears after the initial drawing on the respective facility.

 

Prepayment.    Borrowings under the facilities may be prepaid (subject to minimum amounts of $1.0 million for the first facility and EUR1.0 million for the second facility or integral multiples thereof and subject to AerCap Ireland Limited giving the agent at least 10 Business Days’ notice) without penalty, except for break funding costs if payment is made on a day other than an interest payment date.

 

25



 

Maturity Date.    The maturity date of the facilities will be the earlier of (a) the delivery date for the final aircraft to be delivered and (b), in respect of the first facility, December 31, 2010, or, in respect of the second facility, November 1, 2012.

 

Collateral.    Borrowings under the facilities are secured by, among other things, the partial assignment of the airframe and engine purchase agreements in respect of the 11 aircraft covered by the facilities, including the right to take delivery of the aircraft where the lenders have provided the pre-delivery payments and the aircraft remains undelivered.

 

Guarantee.    AerCap Holdings N.V. guarantees the performance by AerCap Ireland Limited of its obligations under the facilities and related documentation.

 

Certain Covenants.    The facilities contain customary covenants for secured financings. We are required to pay for all buyer furnished equipment, or BFEs, prior to the delivery date.

 

Certain conditions. A condition to the continued availability of the loan facility disbursed under the Facility Agreement dated 30 June 2009 between AerCap as Borrower and HSH as Lender, Agent and Security Trustee relating to pre-delivery payments in respect of ten (10) Airbus A330 aircraft (the “Facility”) that the Borrower or an affiliate would acquire one Boeing 747-400 ERF aircraft or other assets acceptable to HSH on or before September 1, 2009. If this condition is not fulfilled the Final Repayment Date for the Facility will be 28 February 2010 and AerCap will be obliged to repay all amounts outstanding on that date. However, the delivery of the aircraft is now expected beyond September 1, 2009 and the date to meet this condition is expected to be modified in accordance with the aircraft delivery date.

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk associated with short and long-term borrowings bearing variable interest rates and lease payments under leases tied to floating interest rates. To manage this interest rate exposure, we enter into interest rate swap and cap agreements. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk, which can adversely affect our operating profits. To manage this risk, we enter into forward exchange derivatives.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009, which provide further information on our derivative instruments.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

The rentals we receive under our leases are based on fixed and variable interest rates. We fund our operations with a mixture of fixed and floating rate US dollar denominated debt and finance lease obligations. An interest rate exposure arises to the extent that the mix of these obligations is not matched with our assets. This exposure is primarily managed through the use of interest rate caps using a cash flow based risk management model. This model takes the expected cash flows generated by our assets and liabilities and then calculates how much the value of these cash flows will change by for a given movement in interest rates.

 

The table below provides information as of June 30, 2009 regarding our debt and finance lease obligation and their related interest rate exposure:

Under our interest rate caps, we will receive the excess, if any, of LIBOR, reset monthly or quarterly on an actual/360 adjusted basis, over the strike rate of the relevant cap. The caps amortize based on a number of factors, including

the expiration dates of the leases under which our lessees are contracted to make fixed rate rental payments and the six- or six-month LIBOR reset dates under our floating rate leases. Under our interest rate floors, we pay for the difference when the LIBOR rate, reset monthly or quarterly on an actual/360 adjusted basis, falls below the strike rate of the relevant floor.

As of June 30, 2009, the interest rate caps and floors had notional amounts of $2.98 billion and a fair value of $29.8 million. The variable benchmark interest rates associated with these instruments ranged from one- to six-month LIBOR.

 

Our Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing and approving our overall interest rate management policies and transaction authority limits. Specific hedging contracts are approved by the Treasury Committee acting within the overall policies and limits. Our counterparty risk is monitored on an ongoing basis, but is mitigated by the fact that the majority of our interest rate derivative counterparties are required to cash collateralize in the event of their downgrade by the rating agencies below a certain level. Our counterparties are subject to the prior approval of the Treasury Committee.

 

Foreign Currency Risk and Foreign Operations

 

Our functional currency is the US dollar. As of June 30, 2009, all of our aircraft leases and all of our engine leases were payable in US dollars. We incur Euro-denominated expenses in connection with our offices in The Netherlands and Ireland. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, our aggregate expenses denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, such as payroll and office costs and professional advisory costs, were $23.2 million in US dollar equivalents and represented 42.2% of total selling, general and administrative expenses. We enter into foreign exchange derivatives based on our projected exposure to foreign currency risks in order to protect ourselves from the effect of period over period exchange rate fluctuations. Mark-to-market gains or losses on such derivatives are recorded as part of selling, general and administrative expenses since most of our non-US denominated payments relate to such expenses. We do not believe that a change in foreign exchange rates will have a material impact on our results of operations. However, the portion of our business conducted in foreign currencies could increase in the future, which could increase our exposure to losses arising from currency fluctuations.
