AerCap Holdings N.V. Reports First Quarter 2011 Financial Results

 

Margin earned on lease assets (net spread) was $186 million for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 40% over first quarter 2010.

 

Amsterdam, Netherlands; May 5, 2011 - AerCap Holdings N.V. (the “Company” or “AerCap”) (NYSE: AER) today announced the results of its operations for the first quarter ended March 31, 2011.

 

First Quarter 2011 Highlights

 

·                  First quarter 2011 basic and diluted earnings per share was $0.48, compared with $0.40 for the same period in 2010. First quarter 2011 basic and diluted earnings per share excluding the impact of the mark-to-market of interest rate caps and share-based compensation was $0.50, compared with $0.55 for the same period in 2010.

·                  First quarter 2011 net income was $72.1 million, compared with net income of $34.4 million for the same period in 2010. First quarter 2011 net income excluding the impact of the mark-to-market of interest rate caps and share-based compensation was $75.3 million, compared to net income of $46.7 million in the first quarter 2010 on the same basis.

·                  Margin earned on lease assets (net spread) was $186.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 compared to $133.0 million in the first quarter of 2010, an increase of 40%.

·                  Basic lease rents for the first quarter of 2011 were $247.3 million, compared to $165.8 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of 49%. Total lease revenue (basic rents, maintenance rents and end-of-lease compensation) for the first quarter of 2011 was $273.3 million, compared to $175.3 million for the same period in 2010, an increase of 56%. The increase was mainly due to the all-share acquisition of Genesis Lease Limited (the “Genesis Transaction”) which occurred on March 25, 2010 and deliveries of forward order aircraft.

·                  Sales revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $81.1 million, compared to $182.4 million for the same period in 2010. Sales revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was generated from the sale of four aircraft, four engines and parts inventory. Sales revenue for the first quarter of 2010 was higher than first quarter 2011 as a result of the sale of one new A330 aircraft in the first quarter of 2010.

·                  Total revenue for the first quarter of 2011 was $362.3 million, compared to $363.5 million for the same period in 2010.

·                  Committed purchases of aviation assets delivered or scheduled for delivery in 2011 are $814 million, of which $468 million closed in the first quarter of 2011.

·                  Total assets were $9.8 billion at March 31, 2011, an increase of 12% over total assets of $8.7 billion at March 31, 2010. The increase was driven primarily by deliveries of forward order aircraft.

 

Klaus Heinemann, CEO of AerCap, commented: “AerCap is delivering record numbers on all three P’s (Platform, Portfolio and Profit) that define the performance of aircraft operating lessors. The AerCap Platform now manages total assets reaching US$9.8 billion at the end of the first quarter. The AerCap Portfolio delivered US$273 million in total lease revenue, an increase of 56% over the same period last year. AerCap’s Profit for the quarter reached a new record of US$75.3 million adjusted net income compared to US$46.7 million in the same period last year. AerCap is highly confident that it will continue to deliver on all three performance measures during 2011.

 

AerCap’s CFO, Keith Helming, said: Our strong financial performance of 2010 continued in first quarter 2011. Net spread and adjusted net income rose by 40% and 61% respectively compared to the same period in 2010. We completed $468 million of purchases during first quarter 2011 including seven aircraft and our assets grew to $9.8 billion. With cash on hand of over $500 million, we are well positioned to take advantage of further growth opportunities in 2011.”

 

Summary of Financial Results

 

AerCap recorded a first quarter 2011 net income of $72.1 million or $0.48 earnings per basic and diluted share. First quarter 2011 net income amount included net charges relating to the mark-to-market of interest rate caps and share-based compensation of $3.2 million or $0.02 per basic and diluted share, net of tax. The after-tax charge relating to the mark-to-market of our interest rate caps was $1.5 million which reflects changes in forecasted interest rates and the after-tax charge from share-based compensation was $1.7 million.

Basic lease rents were $247.3 million for the first quarter of 2011, an increase of 49% compared to the first quarter of 2010, as a result of our growing asset base. Our average lease assets increased by 50% to $8.1 billion compared to the first quarter of 2010. As shown in the table below, interest expense excluding the impact of the mark-to-market of interest rate caps was $61.2 million in the first quarter of 2011, an 87% increase compared to first quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily driven by the Genesis Transaction and the increase in our lease portfolio from the delivery of forward order aircraft. As a result, net spread increased 40% to $186.1 million in the first quarter of 2011 over the same period in 2010.

Notes Regarding Financial Information Presented In This Press Release

 

The financial information presented in this press release is not audited.

 

The following is a definition of non-GAAP measures used in this press release and a reconciliation of such measure to the most closely related GAAP measure:

 

Net income excluding the impact of mark-to-market of interest rate caps and share-based compensation. This measure is determined by adding non-cash charges related to the mark-to-market losses on our interest rate caps and share based compensation during the applicable period, net of related tax benefits, to GAAP net income. In addition to GAAP net income, we believe this measure may provide investors with supplemental information regarding our operational performance and may further assist investors in their understanding of our operational performance in relation to past and future reporting periods. We use interest rate caps to allow us to benefit from decreasing interest rates and protect against the negative impact of rising interest rates on our floating rate debt. Management determines the appropriate level of caps in any period with reference to the mix of floating and fixed cash inflows from our lease and other contracts. We do not apply hedge accounting to our interest rate caps. As a result, we recognize the change in fair value of the interest rate caps in our income statement during each period. Following is a reconciliation of net income excluding the impact of mark-to-market of interest rate caps and share-based compensation to net income for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010:

Net spread (refer to second table under Revenue breakdown section of this press release). This measure is the difference between basic lease rents and interest expense excluding the impact from the mark-to-market of interest rate caps. We believe this measure may further assist investors in their understanding of the changes and trends related to the earnings of our leasing activities. This measure reflects the impact from changes in the number of aircraft leased, lease rates, utilization rates, as well as the impact from the use of interest rate caps instead of swaps to hedge our interest rate risk. The reconciliation of net spread to basic rents for the three month periods ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 is included above.
