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 business combination standards, 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 business combination standards, 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.

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 consolidation standards. 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 Companys 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 nine months ended September 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 managements best efforts to accurately estimate such amounts, actual results could materially differ from those estimates.

3. Recent accounting pronouncements
ASC 105
In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC 105 Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. The FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) is the source of authoritative U.S. GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied by non-governmental entities. The ASC is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. ASC 105 brings 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. The Company adopted the ASC during the third quarter of 2009. As a result, all references to prior accounting and reporting standards which have been superseded by the ASC have been changed to reflect the new reference within the ASC. The ASC does not replace or alter guidance issued by the SEC or its staff for public companies in their filings with the SEC. The adoption of ASC 105 did not have a significant impact on our financial position or result of operations.
ASC 320
In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued an amendment to ASC 320 Investments-Debt and Equity Securities, which provides additional guidance for the other-than-temporary impairment 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 is for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this ASC did not have an impact on our financial position or results of operation.
ASC 820 and 825
In April 2009, the FASB provided new guidance in ASC 820 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures for estimating fair value, 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. In August 2009, the FASB issued an amendment ASU 2009-05 to ASC 820 for estimating fair value of liabilities in the circumstances where a quoted price in an active market for the identical liability is not available. ASC 825 Financial Instruments, also effective starting from the second quarter of 2009, requires extensive additional fair value disclosures for interim and annual reports. The adoption of these ASCs did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASC 855
In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC 855 Subsequent Events. ASC 855 addresses accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events. ASC 855 requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued, depending on the companys 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. ASC 855 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASC 855 did not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operation. The Company has performed an evaluation of subsequent events through December 10, 2009, which is the date the financial statements were issued.
ASC 810
In June 2009, the FASB issued an amendment to consolidation standards ASC 810. It 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 entitys 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. This standard 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 this standard will have on our financial position or results of operation.

4. Fair value measurements
In September 2006, the FASB issued Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures standards, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2008.
Under these standards, 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 Companys 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 managements own estimates and are calculated based upon the Companys 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 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures standards 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 these standards for financial instruments which are periodically measured at fair value did not have a material effect on the Companys results of operations or financial position.
Under Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures standards, 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 Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures standards 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 Companys own assumptions about market risk developed based on the best information available, subject to cost-benefit analysis. Inputs may include the Companys 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 Companys own views about the assumptions that market participants would use.
The following table summarizes our financial assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2009 that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures standards, assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(US dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
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 the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets standards 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 Companys assumptions and appraisal data as to future cash proceeds from leasing and selling aircraft. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized an impairment of $21.3 million. The impairment relating to six older A320 aircraft 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 nine months ended September 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 September 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 $45,183, through the establishment of the related non-controlling interest.

At September 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 $929 during the remainder of 2009 and approximately $3,610, $2,660 and $34 during the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

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 the first quarter of 2012, with the remaining 29 aircraft scheduled for conversion between 2012 and 2015. In the future we may choose to 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 September 30, 2009, we owned 82 engines and had one new engine on order and two under letters of intent for purchase 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 September 30, 2009, 61 of our 85 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, our March 31, 2009, interim report filed with the SEC on June 8, 2009, and our June 30, 2009, interim report filed with the SEC on September 1, 2009.

· Basic rents increased by $39.2 million, or 10.2%, to $425.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $386.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in basic rents was attributable primarily to:
· the acquisition between January 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009 of 85 aircraft for lease with an aggregate net book value of $2.5 billion at the date of acquisition, partially offset by the sale of 29 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 $65.5 million increase in basic rents;
19
reduced by
· a decrease in payments from leases with lease rates tied to floating interest rates in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 due to decreases in market interest rates, which resulted in a $13.5 million decrease in basic rents;
· a decrease of $8.8 million in basic rents from our engine lease activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008 , resulting from the decrease in our engine lease activities;
· a decrease in basic rents of $4.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as a result of airline defaults which occurred in 2008 and 2009.
· Maintenance rents and end-of-lease compensation decreased by $10.5 million, or 15.0%, to $59.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $70.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in maintenance rents is attributable, in part, to a change in the estimate of the amount of the maintenance rent expected to be reimbursed to lessees implemented in 2008. The change of estimate was due to implementation of an improved model used to forecast future maintenance reimbursements, which resulted in the recording of additional $12.9 million of maintenance revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
· Sales revenue decreased by $243.2 million, or 54.6%, to $202.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $445.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in sales revenue is mainly a result of reduced aircraft sales in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, due, in large part, to a reduction in liquidity in the aircraft trading market to finance aircraft acquisitions. Sales revenue in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was generated from the sale of three aircraft, thirteen engines and parts inventory. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we sold two A321, one A320 aircraft and thirteen engines, whereas in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we sold two A330 aircraft, three A321 aircraft, seven A320 aircraft, two Boeing 737 aircraft, one MD 83 aircraft, six MD82 aircraft, one DC8 aircraft two Fokker 100 aircraft and four engines.
· Interest revenue decreased by $7.2 million, or 48.3%, to $7.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $14.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease was mainly caused by a decrease in deposit rates of interest and the unwinding in December, 2008 of one of our notes receivable in defeasance structures, which earned $2.1 million interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
· Management fee revenue did not materially change in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
· Other revenue increased by $7.3 million, or 173.8% to $11.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $4.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was primarily related to the sale of one A320 forward order position and of shares in an investment in an airline obtained in a restructuring.. In the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we sold an A340 aircraft held in a joint venture which was 27% owned and recognized small amounts of revenue from the recovery of bankruptcy claims.
Depreciation. Depreciation increased by $36.9 million, or 29.9%, to $160.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $123.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, due primarily to the acquisition of 85 new aircraft between January 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009 with a book value at the time of the acquisition of $2.5 billion. The increase was partially offset by the sale of 29 aircraft with a book value at the time of sale of $0.4 billion.
Asset Impairment. In the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized an impairment of $21.3 million. The impairment related to six older A320 aircraft and one engine 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 nine months ended September 30, 2008. The impairment 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 $180.4 million, or 50.2%, to $179.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $359.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in cost of goods sold is mainly a result of the significant decrease in aircraft sales.
20
Interest on Debt. Our interest on debt decreased by $51.9 million, or 43.2%, to $68.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $120.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The majority of the decrease in interest on debt was mainly caused by:
· a decrease in our average cost of debt to 2.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from 4.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in our average cost of debt results from the use of caps as part of our hedging strategy in combination with a decrease in interest rates. This resulted in a $45.8 million decrease in our interest on debt;
· a $24.8 million increase in the non-cash recognition of mark-to-market gains on derivatives to a $18.8 million gain in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from a $6.0 million loss in the nine months ended September 30, 2008;
partially offset by
· an increase in the average outstanding debt balance to $4.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $3.2 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2008, resulting in a $20.3 million increase in our interest on debt.
Other Operating Expenses. Our other operating expenses increased by $28.6 million, or 80.6%, to $64.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $35.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Our operating lease in costs decreased by $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008, due to the changes in the lease terms associated with an aircraft.
Our leasing expenses increased by $28.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is primarily due to expenses of $15.6 million incurred in relation to airline defaults which occurred in 2008 and 2009 plus an increase in lessor contributions and transition expenses.
Our provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable decreased by $0.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008. We did not have defaults that significantly affected the provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009.
Our other expenses of $1.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009, reflect an accrual for the costs incurred by the Company in connection with the proposed all share merger between AerCap Holdings N.V. and Genesis Lease Limited, the signing of an amalgamation agreement for which was announced September 18, 2009.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $13.9 million, or 14.4%, to $82.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $96.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease is due primarily to a decline in recorded USD expenses for selling, general and administrative expenses paid in EUR as a result of a decrease in the average USD/EUR exchange rate between the nine month comparable periods, along with an employee workforce reduction during the twelve month period ended September 30, 2009.
Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes. For the reasons explained above, our income from continuing operations before income taxes decreased by $47.0 million, or 25.2%, to $139.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $186.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
21
Provision for Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes decreased by $11.9 million or 77.3% to $3.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $15.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was 2.5% compared to 8.3% for the nine months ended September 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 $35.1 million, or 20.5%, to $136.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $171.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Liquidity and Access to Capital
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash balance at September 30, 2009 was $324.4 million, including restricted cash of $121.1 million, and our operating cash flow was $338.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our unused lines of credit at September 30, 2009 were approximately $3.2 billion. Our debt balance at September 30, 2009 was $4.6 billion and the average interest rate on our debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements on our interest rate caps during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, was 2.7%. Our debt to equity ratio was 3.4 to 1 as of September 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 for the year ended December 31, 2008, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009.
Since the 20-F filing we have completed the following initiatives:
· In April 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 October 2009, we executed agreements for the sale of three of our 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.
· On September 18, 2009, AerCap Holdings N.V. announced a merger with Genesis Lease Limited in an all share transaction. The transaction is subject to approval by Genesis Lease Limited shareholders and satisfaction of customary closing conditions
· In November 2009, we entered into two facilities with China Development Bank Corporation for $86.1 million of pre-delivery financing and $272 million long term funding facility covering four new A330 aircraft.

Nine months ended September 30, 2009 compared to Nine months ended September 30, 2008.
Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities. Our cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $110.5 million, or 48.4%, to $338.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $228.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008. The primary reasons for the increase are: (i) an increase in our aircraft portfolio and related basic lease revenues and (ii) a decrease of our interest expenses.
Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities. Our cash flows used in investing activities increased by $211.8 million, or 21.9%, to $1,178.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $966.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase was primarily due a $196.5 million increase in pre-delivery payments made in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the comparable 2008 period, coupled with a $272.2 million decrease in asset sale proceeds generated in the 2009 versus 2008 nine month periods. The cash flows used in the 2009 and 2008 comparable periods were partially offset by a $188.0 million decrease in aircraft purchase activity (including intangible lease premiums) along with a $65.1 million decrease in restricted cash movement.
Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities. Our cash flows provided by financing activities increased by $171.3 million, or 25.4%, to $845.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 from $674.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2008. This increase is primarily attributable to an increase of $67.1 million in new financing proceeds, net of repayments and debt issuance costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2008, and the receipt of $104.2 million from our new AerVenture partner, Waha Capital.

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.
Pending Merger with Genesis Lease Limited
On September 18, 2009, we entered into an amalgamation agreement with Genesis Lease Limited, an aircraft leasing company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. You should refer to the description of the merger and the potential effects on our financial condition and results of operations in the event that the merger is closed, including the risk factors set forth therein, contained in the Registration Statement as filed with the SEC on November 18, 2009.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of September 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
25
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 and filing of our March 31, 2009, interim report with the SEC on June 8, 2009, and our June 30, 2009, interim report with the SEC on September 1, 2009:
A330 Pre-delivery Payment Facilities - CDB
General. In December 2006, AerCap Ireland Limited 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 September 30, 2009, seven of the aircraft had been delivered and the remaining are scheduled to be delivered prior to the first quarter of 2013.
Under the purchase agreement, AerCap Ireland Limited agreed to make scheduled pre-delivery payments to Airbus S.A.S. prior to the physical delivery of each aircraft. In connection with the scheduled delivery of four aircraft during 2010 and early 2011, AerCap Ireland Limited entered into two facilities in November 2009 with China Development Bank Corporation to finance and refinance up to $86.1 million of the pre-delivery payments made or to be made to Airbus S.A.S..
Under the PDP facilities, China Development Bank Corporation agreed to provide loans for up to 80% of the pre-delivery payment amounts paid or due to Airbus S.A.S. in respect of each aircraft prior to delivery, and AerCap Ireland Limited has paid or will pay the remaining 20% of such amounts.
Repayment. Each loan in respect of each aircraft must be repaid on the earlier of (a) the due date on which such aircraft is delivered by Airbus S.A.S., (b) the date falling six months from the last day of the scheduled delivery month, or (c) two years from the date of the PDP facilities.
Interest Rate. Borrowings under both facilities will bear interest at a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 3.30%, which is payable quarterly in arrears after the initial drawing on the respective facility.
Prepayment. Borrowings under both facilities may be prepaid (subject to minimum amounts of $2.0 million or integral multiples of $1.0 million and subject to AerCap Ireland Limited giving the agent at least 15 Business Days notice) without premium or penalty, except for break funding costs if payment is made on a day other than an interest payment date.
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 four 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 both facilities and the related documentation.
Certain Covenants. The facilities contain customary covenants for secured financings.
Long-Term Commercial Bank Financings - CDB - three Airbus A330 aircraft
General. In November 2009, Triple Eight Aircraft Leasing Limited, a 100% subsidiary of AerCap Ireland Limited, entered into three facilities with China Development Bank Corporation, each for the financing of the acquisition of one Airbus A330 aircraft scheduled for delivery during 2010 and 2011.
Interest Rate. Borrowings under each facility will bear interest at a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0%. In respect of the facilities for the first aircraft scheduled to be delivered, interest is payable quarterly in arrears after the initial drawing on the facility. In respect of the facilities for the second and third aircraft scheduled to be delivered, interest is payable in arrears on the same dates that interest is payable under the facility in respect of the first aircraft scheduled to be delivered.
26
Repayment. Each loan in respect of each aircraft will be repaid in quarterly installments over the term of the loan.
Maturity Date. The maturity date of the facilities will be 12 years after the initial drawing on the respective facility.
Prepayment. Borrowings under the facilities may be prepaid (subject to minimum amounts of $2.0 million or integral multiples of $1.0 million and subject to Triple Eight Aircraft Leasing Limited giving the agent at least 15 Business Days notice) without premium or penalty, except for break funding costs if payment is made on a day other than an interest payment date.
Collateral. The obligations outstanding under the facilities are secured by, among other things, a pledge of the shares of Triple Eight Aircraft Leasing Limited and Triple Eight Aircraft Holdings Limited, and mortgages over each aircraft. The obligations of Triple Eight Aircraft Leasing Limited and Triple Eight Aircraft Holdings Limited under the facilities and the related documentation are guaranteed by AerCap Holdings N.V.
Certain Covenants. The facilities contain customary covenants for secured financings.
Long-Term Commercial Bank Financings - CDB - one Airbus A330 aircraft
General. In November 2009, Peony Aircraft Leasing Limited, a 100% subsidiary of AerCap Ireland Limited, entered into one facility with China Development Bank Corporation for the financing of the acquisition of one Airbus A330 aircraft which is scheduled for delivery in 2010.
Interest Rate. Borrowings under the facility will bear interest at a floating interest rate of three-month LIBOR plus a margin of 3.0% which is payable quarterly in arrears after the initial drawing on the facility.
Repayment. The loan will be repaid in quarterly installments over the term of the loan.
Maturity Date. The maturity date of the facility will be 12 years after the initial drawing.
Prepayment. Borrowings under the facility may be prepaid (subject to minimum amounts of $2.0 million or integral multiples of $1.0 million and subject to Peony Aircraft Leasing Limited giving the agent at least 15 Business Days notice) without premium or penalty, except for break funding costs if payment is made on a day other than an interest payment date.
Collateral. The obligations outstanding under the facility are secured by, among other things, a pledge of the shares of Peony Aircraft Leasing Limited and Peony Aircraft Holdings Limited, and mortgages over the aircraft. The obligations of Peony Aircraft Leasing Limited and Peony Aircraft Holdings Limited under the facilities and the related documentation are guaranteed by AerCap Holdings N.V.
Certain Covenants. The facilities contain customary covenants for secured financings.
A330 Pre-delivery Payment Facilities HSH Nordbank
In December 2006, we signed a purchase agreement to purchase up to 20 A330 aircraft. In May 2007, the purchase agreement was amended to add ten additional aircraft. In connection with the scheduled delivery of 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.
The continued availability of the loan facility disbursed under the Facility Agreement dated June 30, 2009, between AerCap as Borrower and HSH as Lender, Agent and Security Trustee relating to the pre-delivery payments in respect of the ten A330 aircraft was contractually conditioned on AerCap Ireland Limited or an affiliate acquiring one Boeing 747-400 ERF aircraft or other assets acceptable to HSH on or before September 30, 2009. Under this agreement, the failure to make such a purchase accelerated the Final Repayment Date for the Facility to March 31, 2010.
AerCap did not and does not expect to purchase the aircraft. AerCap does not, however, expect to be obliged to repay all amounts outstanding on March 31, 2010. AerCap is currently in discussions to reach an agreement with HSH. AerCap expects the repayment of the debt will follow the original anticipated repayment schedule which is at the time of each aircraft delivery.
27
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 September 30, 2009 regarding our debt and finance lease obligation and their related interest rate exposure:

(1) Based on one-month LIBOR and three-month LIBOR as of September 30, 2009, which were 0.246% and 0.287%, respectively.
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 September 30, 2009, the interest rate caps and floors had notional amounts of $3.06 billion and a fair value of $26.8 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 September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2009, our aggregate expenses denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, such as payroll and office costs and professional advisory costs, were $37.6 million in US dollar equivalents and represented 45.4% 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.
