Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(US dollars in thousands or as otherwise stated, except share and per share amounts)

 

1. General

 

The Company

 

We are the world’s leading independent aircraft leasing company and have one of the youngest fleets in the industry with an average age of 5.4 years. We have $9.6 billion of total assets on our balance sheet mainly consisting of 258 aircraft and 8 engines with a focus on fuel-efficient narrowbodies and widebodies. We are a New York Stock Exchange-listed company (AER) headquartered in The Netherlands with offices in Ireland, the United States, China, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.

 

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 or N.V.”) 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 ASC 805, “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. On November 27, 2006, we completed an initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange, of 6,800,000 of our common shares at $23 per share generating net proceeds of $143,017 which we used to repay debt. On August 6, 2007 we completed the secondary offering of 20,000,000 additional ordinary shares at $25.90 per share. On March 25, 2010, the all-share acquisition of Genesis was completed (“the Genesis Transaction”) and increased our outstanding ordinary shares by 34,348,858. On November 11, 2010, we completed a transaction with Abu Dhabi-based investment holding company Waha Capital PJSC (“Waha”). As part of this transaction our outstanding ordinary shares increased by 29,846,611. As of December 31, 2010, we had 149,232,426 shares issued and outstanding. On August 5, 2011 and September 19, 2011, we announced that AerCap’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program. The repurchase program would run through December 30, 2011 and would allow total repurchases of up to $100 million in 2011. In the third quarter through September 30, 2011 we acquired 5,791,504 ordinary shares, which are reflected as treasury stock in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, for a consideration of $60.6 million. On November 2, 2011 we completed the share repurchase program for 2011. In total we acquired 9,402,663 ordinary shares for a consideration of $100.0 million with an average share price of $10.64.

AeroTurbine Transaction

 

On August 2, 2011, we entered into an agreement with International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) for the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary AeroTurbine, Inc. The closing of the AeroTurbine transaction was completed on October 7, 2011. The purchase price for all of the outstanding shares of AeroTurbine was $228 million. As a result of the sale we incurred $22.5 million of one-time transaction expenses, $10.0 million deferred tax asset write-off, and a $21.0 million book loss. The completion of the sale followed receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of all other closing conditions. As a result of the agreement with ILFC and in line with ASC 205-20, for all periods presented, we have reclassified the results of AeroTurbine into discontinued operations in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, and the assets and liabilities associated with AeroTurbine have been segregated within the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Income Statements for previous periods can be summarized as follows:

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 ASC 810. 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, 2010. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 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 considers information available from professional appraisers, 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 (continued)

 

In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we changed our estimates of useful lives and residual values of certain older aircraft. The change in estimates is a result of the adverse market conditions for older fuel-inefficient aircraft that have negatively affected the useful lives and residual values for such aircraft. The effect on net income from continuing operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was to reduce net income by $5.7 million, or $0.04 basic and diluted earnings per share.

 

ASU 2011-04

 

In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04 (“ASU 2011-04”), Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs, to improve the comparability of fair value measurements presented and disclosed in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The amendments in this update change the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements which include (1) those that clarify the FASB’s intent about the application of existing fair value measurement and disclosure requirements, and (2) those that change a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or for disclosing information about fair value measurement. ASU 2011-04 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011. The adoption of ASU 2011-04 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

ASU 2011-05

 

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-05 (“ASU 2011-05”), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which gives the option to present the total of comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive net income or in two separate but consecutive statements. In either option, an entity is required to present each component of net income along with total net income, each component of other comprehensive income along with a total for other comprehensive income, and a total amount for comprehensive income. If a two statement approach is used, the statement of other comprehensive income should immediately follow the statement of net income. This update eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in shareholders’ equity. It also requires the presentation on the face of the financial statements of reclassification adjustments for items that are reclassified from other comprehensive income to net income in the statement(s) where the components of net income and the components of other comprehensive income are presented. ASU 2011-05 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and should be applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-05 will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

 

4.              Fair value measurements

 

Under ASC 820, 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 asset or liability.

 

Under ASC 820, 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 ASC 820 hierarchy are as follows:

 

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

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(US dollars in thousands or as otherwise stated, except share and per share amounts)

 

4.              Fair value measurements (continued)

 

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 September 30, 2011 that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by ASC 820, 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, consist 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, swaps and floors and foreign currency forward contracts. 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), foreign currency exchange 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 book value of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include aircraft and aircraft engines. 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 Company’s assumptions and appraisal data as to future cash proceeds from leasing and selling aircraft. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized impairment of $11,583 on four of our aircraft and two of our engines.

 

Our financial instruments consist principally of notes receivable, restricted cash, derivative instruments, debt and cash 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 book value and fair values of our financial instruments at September 30, 2011 are as follows:

11.  Share-based compensation

 

AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Grants

 

During the nine months ending September 30, 2011, 935,000 AerCap Holdings N.V. restricted share units were granted under the NV Equity Plan. At September 30, 2011, there were 1,537,254 share options outstanding at an exercise price of $24.63 per share, 75,000 share options outstanding at an exercise price of $15.03 per share, 650,000 share options outstanding at an exercise price of $2.95 per share and 21,287 share options outstanding at an exercise price of $14.12 per share. At September 30, 2011, 1,406,004 outstanding options were vested and 877,537 options were subject to future time and performance-based vesting criteria. At September 30, 2011 1,760,000 restricted share units were outstanding and were all subject to future time and performance-based vesting criteria. Assuming that vesting criteria applicable to unvested share options and unvested restricted share units 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 $1.5 million during the remainder of 2011 and approximately $5.7 million, $5.2 million, $4.8 million and $1.7 million during the years 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 respectively.

13.  Earnings per common share

 

Basic and diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average of our common shares outstanding. As disclosed in Note 11, there are 4,043,541 share options and restricted share units outstanding under the NV Equity Plan. These options could become dilutive in the future. The computations of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the periods indicated below are shown in the following table:

14.  Segment information

 

Reportable Segments

 

Following the sale of AeroTurbine we manage our business, analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of one business segment—leasing, financing, sales and management of commercial aircraft. The leasing, financing and sales of engines and parts (“Engine and parts”) is included in this segment as this constitutes an insignificant part of our business after the sale of AeroTurbine.

 

15.  Commitments and contingencies

 

A detailed summary of our commitments and contingencies can be found in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 23, 2011 as amended by our Form 20-F/A filed with the SEC on April 20, 2011, our first quarter Interim Financial Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2011 and our second quarter Interim Financial Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on August 31, 2011. There have been no material changes to our commitments and contingencies since the filing of those reports.

 

16.  Subsequent events

 

On August 2, 2011, we entered into an agreement with International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) for the sale of our wholly-owned subsidiary AeroTurbine, Inc. The closing of the AeroTurbine transaction was completed on October 7, 2011. The completion of the sale followed receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals and satisfaction of all other closing conditions. We will continue to guarantee until December 14, 2011 latest AeroTurbine’s obligations under its $425 million revolving credit facility, of which $299.2 million was drawn as of September 30, 2011. ILFC will, in turn, provide us with a guarantee of any payments that we may be required to make under the credit facility pursuant to such guarantee until such date. It is expected that AeroTurbine will seek to amend and restate the credit facility in its entirety prior to December 14, 2011.

 

On August 5, 2011 and September 19, 2011, we announced that AerCap’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program. The repurchase program would run through December 30, 2011 and would allow total repurchases of up to $100 million in 2011. In the third quarter through September 30, 2011 we acquired 5,791,504 ordinary shares for a consideration of $60.6 million. On November 2, 2011 we completed the share repurchase program for 2011. In total we acquired 9,402,663 ordinary shares for a consideration of $ 100.0 million. Our outstanding ordinary share capital as per November 2, 2011 is 149,232,426  ordinary shares of which 9,402,663 ordinary shares are held as treasury shares by the company.

16.  Subsequent events (continued)

 

On October 24, 2011, we signed a $400 million credit facility to provide long term financing for 12 Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The aircraft will be leased to American Airlines and form part of our previously announced transaction with American Airlines for the purchase and leaseback of up to 35 Boeing 737-800 aircraft of which 2 have been delivered during the third quarter of 2011.

 

On November 15, 2011, we terminated the leases of two A320 aircraft with one of our lessees, Kingfisher Airlines. The leases were due to expire April 2012. We have already signed new lease agreements with a new lessee for these aircraft.

 

On July 15, 2011, we entered into a purchase-leaseback arrangement with American Airlines to finance up to 35 Boeing 737-800 Next Generation aircraft scheduled to be delivered to American Airlines. On November 29, 2011, American Airlines filed for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. To date we have taken delivery of four new Boeing 737-800 aircraft under the purchase and leaseback contract which are now on lease to American Airlines and separately have leased two more Boeing 737-800 aircraft to American Airlines. Under U.S. Bankruptcy Law, American Airlines has the right to reject these leases; however, we do not expect them to do so. Further, upon commencement of the bankruptcy, our remaining obligations for 31 deliveries under the purchase and leaseback contract automatically terminated, although we do intend to enter into discussions with American Airlines to try to reach agreement on terms and conditions pursuant to which we can continue to finance remaining aircraft.

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 purchases, sales and leases, to collect outstanding amounts due and to repossess aircraft under defaulted leases, and to control costs and expenses,

 

·                  decreases in the overall demand for commercial aircraft 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 accounting standards and taxes, and

 

·                  the risks set forth in “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on March 23, 2011 as amended by our Form 20-F/A filed with the SEC on April 20, 2011.

 

The words “believe”, “may”, “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.

·                  Basic rents increased by $109.0 million, or 18.0%, to $714.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $605.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in basic rents was attributable primarily to:

 

20



 

·                 the acquisition between January 1, 2010 and September 30, 2011 of 121 aircraft for lease with an aggregate net book value of $4.7 billion at the date of acquisition (including those acquired through the Genesis Transaction), partially offset by the sale of 26 aircraft, during such period, with an aggregate net book value of $1.0 billion at the date of sale. The net increase in our aircraft portfolio (including those acquired through the Genesis Transaction) resulted in an $111.4 million increase in basic rents in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

reduced by

 

·                 a decrease of $1.1 million in basic rents from our engine lease activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

·                 a decrease in basic rents of $1.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010 as a result of airline defaults which occurred in the year ended December 31, 2010.

 

·                 Maintenance rents and other receipts increased by $30.5 million, or 71.3%, to $73.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $42.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was partially attributable to a $7.5 million increase in maintenance revenue as a result of airline defaults. The remaining $23.0 million increase in maintenance revenue related to a $14.5 million increase in end-of-lease payments and a $8.5 million increase due to the early lease termination of two A319 aircraft. The early termination of the two A319 aircraft also resulted in corresponding leasing expenses of $8.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

·                  Sales revenue decreased by $491.0 million, or 83.0%, to $100.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $591.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we sold four older A320 aircraft, one older Boeing 737 aircraft, three older Boeing 757 aircraft and one older MD-82 aircraft, whereas in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we sold six new A320 aircraft, two older A320 aircraft, four new A330 aircraft, two older Boeing 757 aircraft and one older Boeing 767 aircraft.

 

·                  Management fee revenue increased by $6.0 million, or 67.4%, to $14.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $8.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was mainly attributable to the servicing of the joint venture with Waha, which we entered into on November 11, 2010.

 

·                  Interest revenue decreased by $1.6 million, or 47.1%, to $1.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease was mainly caused by the unwinding of our notes receivable in defeasance structures, which earned $1.7 million interest income in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

·                  Other revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 10.5%, to $4.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $3.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Other revenue in both periods related primarily to the cash recovery of bankruptcy claims against previous lessees.

 

Depreciation. Depreciation increased by $50.4 million, or 22.8%, to $271.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $221.0 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to the acquisition of 121 new aircraft between January 1, 2010 and September 30, 2011 with a book value at the time of the acquisition of $4.7 billion. The increase was partially offset by the sale of 26 aircraft between January 1, 2010 and September 30, 2011, with a book value at the time of sale of $1.0 billion.

 

Asset Impairment. In the nine months ended September 30, 2011, we recognized an aggregated impairment charge of $11.6 million. The impairment related to three older A320 aircraft, one older Boeing 737 aircraft and two engines. The impairment was triggered by adverse market conditions for older fuel-inefficient aircraft that have negatively affected the useful lives and residual values for such aircraft. The impairment also triggered the release of maintenance reserves and deposits of $1.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Cost of Goods Sold. Cost of goods sold decreased by $463.8 million, or 83.5%, to $91.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $555.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decrease in cost of goods sold is the result of the decrease in aircraft sales.

Interest on Debt. Our interest on debt increased by $32.3 million, or 16.4%, to $229.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $197.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The majority of the increase in interest on debt was caused by:

 

·                  an increase in the average outstanding debt balance to $6.3 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $5.6 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, resulting in a $18.1 million increase in our interest on debt;

 

·                  an increase in our average cost of debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements, to 3.6% in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from 3.4% in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase in our average cost of debt is primarily the result of the closing of the Genesis Transaction and the use of fixed rate interest debt, which resulted in a $7.6 million increase in our interest on debt.

 

·                  an increase in the non-cash recognition of mark-to-market charges on derivatives of $6.9 million to a $54.1 million charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from a $47.2 million charge in the nine months ended September 30, 2010;

 

Other Operating Expenses. The principal categories of our other operating expenses and their variances were as follows:

Our operating lease-in costs did not materially change in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Our leasing expenses increased by $10.6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is primarily due to an increase in expenses related to airline defaults between the two periods. We recognized expenses of $14.9 million related to airline defaults in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, which expenses were incurred as a result of airline defaults which occurred in 2010 and 2011. In the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recognized expenses of $1.5 million as a result of airline defaults.

 

Our provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable increased by $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily caused by the default of one of our lessees in the nine months period ended September 30, 2011.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $41.1 million, or 71.9%, to $98.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $57.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase was primarily caused by a $4.1 million increase in termination and severance payments, a $2.9 million increase in share based compensation, a $5.3 million increase in the mark-to-market of foreign currency hedges, foreign currency cash balances and other derivatives and a $24.5 million one-off charge relating to the buy-out of the Genesis portfolio servicing rights. The buy-out will generate savings of approximately $6.0 million per annum.

 

Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes. For the reasons explained above, our income from continuing operations before income taxes decreased by $25.4 million, or 14.3%, to $151.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $177.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Provision for Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes decreased by $5.8 million or 36.5% to $10.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $15.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 was 6.6% compared to 8.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Our effective tax rate in any period is impacted by the source and the amount of earnings among our different tax jurisdictions.

Net income of investments accounted for under the equity method. Our net income of investments accounted for under the equity method increased by $6.2 million or 269.6% to $8.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $2.3 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is a result of the acquisition of our 40% interest in a joint venture with Waha as part of the Waha transaction which closed on November 11, 2010.

 

Loss from discontinued operations (including loss on disposal), net of tax. Our loss from discontinued operations net of tax increased by $51.3 million or 1,832.1% to $54.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $2.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The increase is a result of the agreement with ILFC that was signed on August 3, 2011 to sell our wholly-owned subsidiary AeroTurbine.

 

Non-controlling interest, net of tax. Our non-controlling interest net of tax decreased by $25.7 million to $0.5 million net income attributable to non-controlling interests in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $26.2 million net income attributable to non-controlling interests in the nine months ended September 30, 2010, due primarily to the repurchase of Waha’s 50% equity interest in AerVenture as part of the Waha transaction, which closed on November 11, 2010.

 

Net Income attributable to AerCap Holdings N.V. For the reasons explained above, our net income attributable to AerCap Holdings N.V. decreased by $39.3 million, or 29.1%, to $95.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $135.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Liquidity and Access to Capital

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash balance at September 30, 2011 was $485.0 million, including restricted cash of $210.6 million, and our operating cash flow was $436.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011. We currently generate significant cash flows from our aircraft leasing business; however, since a significant portion of our owned aircraft are held through restricted cash entities, such as ALS I and ALS II and since a significant portion of our capital requirements are outside our restricted cash entities, our management analyzes our cash flow at both consolidated and unconsolidated levels to make sure that we have sufficient cash flows available to finance our capital needs in our restricted cash entities and outside our restricted cash entities. Our unused lines of credit at September 30, 2011 were approximately $0.6 billion. Our debt balance at September 30, 2011 was $6.2 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, 2011, was 3.6%. Our debt to equity ratio was 2.8 to 1 as of September 30, 2011.

 

Aircraft leasing is a capital intensive business and we have significant capital requirements. These commitments include requirements to make pre-delivery payments, as well as the requirement to pay the balance of the purchase price for aircraft on delivery. As of September 30, 2011, we had 25 aircraft under forward purchase commitments (including five Boeing 737 purchase rights), 33 aircraft under a purchase-leaseback arrangement with American Airlines and two aircraft under a purchase contract. As a result, we will need to raise additional funds though a combination of accessing committed debt facilities and securing additional financing for pre-delivery and final delivery payment obligations and we may need to raise additional funds through selling aircraft or other aircraft investments, including participations in our joint ventures, and if necessary, generating proceeds from potential capital market transactions.

 

In the longer term, we expect to fund the growth of our business, including the acquisition of aircraft, through internally generated cash flows, the incurrence of new bank debt, the refinancing of existing bank debt and other capital raising initiatives.

Nine months ended September 30, 2011 compared to Nine months ended September 30, 2010.

 

Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities. Our cash flows provided by operating activities decreased by $26.1 million, or 5.6%, to $436.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $462.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 primarily due to $24.5 million in relation to the buy-out of the Genesis portfolio servicing rights. Cash flows provided by operating activities from discontinued operations was $19.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities. Our cash flows used in investing activities decreased by $688.4 million, or 53.8%, to $592.3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $1,280.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. The decreased use of cash was primarily due to a decrease of $1,114.8 million in aircraft purchase activity (including intangible lease premiums) along with $77.5 million decrease in pre-delivery payments. In addition, the use of cash decreased as a result of a $72.6 million increase in the movement in restricted cash. The decrease in cash flows used in investing activities was partially offset by a $477.8 million decrease in asset sale proceeds along with a $103.7 million decrease in our cash flow used in investing activities as a result of the closing of the Genesis Transaction in the nine month period ended September 30, 2010. Cash flows used in investing activities from discontinued operations was $32.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities. Our cash flows provided by financing activities decreased by $864.2 million, or 93.9%, to $56.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 from $920.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. This decrease in cash flows provided by financing activities was due to a decrease of $745.7 million in new financing proceeds, net of repayments and debt issuance costs resulting primarily from the decrease in aircraft purchase activity, a decrease of $25.4 million of net receipt of maintenance and security deposits, a $60.6 million use of cash for share repurchases and a decrease of $32.4 million in the capital contributions from non-controlling interests in the nine months ended September 30, 2011, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Cash flows provided by financing activities from discontinued operations was $16.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

Indebtedness

 

As of September 30, 2011, our outstanding indebtedness totaled $6.2 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. The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and their maturity dates as of September 30, 2011:

As we implement our growth strategy and expand our aircraft 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 debt, and other debt and equity issuances.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 2011, we were obligated to make sublease payments under four aircraft operating leases of aircraft with lease expiration dates between 2011 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 four 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 three joint ventures, AerDragon (25%), AerData (43%) and a 40% joint venture with Waha (AerLift), which do not qualify for consolidated accounting treatment. The assets and liabilities of these 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 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 23, 2011 as amended by our Form 20-F/A filed with the SEC on April 20, 2011, our first quarter Interim Financial Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on May 31, 2011 and our second quarter Interim Financial Report on Form 6-K filed with the SEC on August 31, 2011.

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 included in our 2010 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 23, 2011 as amended by our Form 20-F/A filed with the SEC on April 20, 2011, 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 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, fixing rate debt, interest rate swaps and interest rate floors using a cash flow based risk management model. This model takes the expected cash flows generated by our assets and liabilities and then calculates by how much the value of these cash flows will change for a given movement in interest rates.

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 three- 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.

 

The table below provides information as of September 30, 2011 regarding our derivative financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates on our borrowing, including our interest rate caps, swaps and floors. The table presents the average notional amounts and weighted average strike rates relating the interest rate caps, swaps and floors for the specified year. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract.

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 U.S. dollar. As of September 30, 2011, all of our aircraft leases and all of our engine leases were payable in U.S. dollars. We incur Euro-denominated expenses in connection with our offices in The Netherlands and Ireland. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, our aggregate expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, such as payroll and office costs and professional advisory costs, were $47.7 million in U.S. dollar equivalents and represented 48.5% of total selling, general and administrative expenses. We enter into foreign exchange contracts 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 contracts 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 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.
