Reflecting this confidence, I am pleased to announce that our Board of Directors has authorized an increase in our quarterly common stock dividend to $0.20 per share, representing the 10th increase and 40th consecutive dividend payment since the founding of ALC,” said Steven F.

Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity have been adjusted to exclude the effects of certain non-cash items, one-time or non-recurring items, such as write-offs of our Russian fleet, that are not expected to continue in the future and certain other items. See note 1 under the Consolidated Statements of Operations included in this earnings release for a discussion of the non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to their most comparable GAAP financial measures.

Highlights

  • Took delivery of 14 aircraft from our new order pipeline, representing $843 million in aircraft investments, ending the period with over $28 billion in total assets.
  • As of September 30, 2022, we had 405 aircraft in our owned fleet, with a net book value of $23.9 billion, a weighted average age of 4.5 years and a weighted average lease term remaining of 7.0 years.
  • Placed 99% of our contracted orderbook positions on long-term leases for aircraft delivering through the end of 2023 and have placed 58% of our entire orderbook.
  • Ended the quarter with $30.9 billion in committed minimum future rental payments consisting of $15.1 billion in contracted minimum rental payments on the aircraft in our existing fleet and $15.8 billion in minimum future rental payments related to aircraft on order.
  • Increased our quarterly cash dividend by approximately 8.1%, from $0.185 per share to $0.20 per share of our outstanding Class A common stock. The next quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share will be paid on January 10, 2023 to holders of record of our common stock as of December 16, 2022.

Financial Overview

Our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2022 increased by 7.0% to $561.3 million as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021. The increase in total revenues was primarily driven by the continued growth in our fleet, significantly lower lease restructuring losses and higher aircraft sales, trading and other revenue, offset by the loss of rental revenue from the termination of our leasing activities in Russia and cash basis accounting. The increase in aircraft sales, trading and other revenue was primarily due to $11.6 million in gains from the sale of one aircraft and four sales-type lease transactions for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Our net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2022 was $100.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share compared to $100.0 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021. We recorded adjusted net income before income taxes during the three months ended September 30, 2022 of $146.3 million or $1.32 per adjusted diluted share as compared to $146.5 million or $1.28 per adjusted diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2021. Net income attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net income before income taxes remained in-line with the prior year period, primarily due to increases in interest, depreciation and selling, general and administrative expenses which partially offset the revenue increases discussed above.

Flight Equipment Portfolio

As of September 30, 2022 the net book value of our fleet increased to $23.9 billion, compared to $22.9 billion as of December 31, 2021. As of September 30, 2022, we owned 405 aircraft in our aircraft portfolio, comprised of 297 narrowbody aircraft and 108 widebody aircraft, and we managed 87 aircraft. The weighted average fleet age and weighted average remaining lease term of our fleet as of September 30, 2022 was 4.5 years and 7.0 years, respectively. We have a globally diversified customer base of 115 airlines in 61 countries.

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those statements appear in a number of places in this press release and include statements regarding, among other matters, the state of the airline industry, including the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the impact of sanctions imposed on Russia, our access to the capital markets, the impact of lease deferrals and other accommodations, aircraft delivery delays and other factors affecting our financial condition or results of operations. Words such as “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “will,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and “should,” and variations of these words and similar expressions, are used in many cases to identify these forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results to vary materially from our future results, performance or achievements, or those of our industry, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others:

  • our inability to obtain additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, to acquire aircraft, service our debt obligations and refinance maturing debt obligations;
  • increases in our cost of borrowing or changes in interest rates;
  • our inability to generate sufficient returns on our aircraft investments through strategic acquisition and profitable leasing;
  • the failure of an aircraft or engine manufacturer to meet its delivery obligations to us, including or as a result of technical or other difficulties with aircraft before or after delivery;
  • the extent to which the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the impact of sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom and others affect our business, including our efforts to pursue insurance claims to recover losses related to aircraft detained in Russia, the exclusion of Russia, Ukraine and Belarus from the insurance policies that we separately purchase for our owned fleet, and the ability of our lessees to comply with their obligations to maintain insurance policies that cover their operations;
  • the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business;
  • obsolescence of, or changes in overall demand for, our aircraft;
  • changes in the value of, and lease rates for, our aircraft, including as a result of aircraft oversupply, manufacturer production levels, our lessees’ failure to maintain our aircraft, rising inflation, appreciation of the U.S. Dollar, and other factors outside of our control;
  • impaired financial condition and liquidity of our lessees, including due to lessee defaults and reorganizations, bankruptcies or similar proceedings;
  • increased competition from other aircraft lessors;
  • the failure by our lessees to adequately insure our aircraft or fulfill their contractual indemnity obligations to us;
  • increased tariffs and other restrictions on trade;
  • changes in the regulatory environment, including changes in tax laws and environmental regulations;
  • other events affecting our business or the business of our lessees and aircraft manufacturers or their suppliers that are beyond our or their control, such as the threat or realization of epidemic diseases, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war or armed hostilities between countries or non-state actors; and
  • any additional factors discussed under “Part I — Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, “Part II — Item 1A. Risk Factors,” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 and other SEC filings, including future SEC filings.

Adjusted net income before income taxes (defined as net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders excluding the effects of certain non-cash items, one-time or non-recurring items, such as write-offs of our Russian fleet, that are not expected to continue in the future and certain other items), adjusted pre-tax margin (defined as adjusted net income before income taxes divided by total revenues), adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes (defined as adjusted net income before income taxes divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding) and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity (defined as adjusted net income before income taxes divided by average common shareholders' equity) are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders, pre-tax margin, earnings/(loss) per share, diluted earnings/(loss) per share and pre-tax return on common equity, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity are presented as supplemental disclosure because management believes they provide useful information on our earnings from ongoing operations.

 

 

 

Management and our board of directors use adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance. Management believes these measures are helpful in evaluating the operating performance of our ongoing operations and identifying trends in our performance, because they remove the effects of certain non-cash items, one-time or non-recurring items that are not expected to continue in the future and certain other items from our operating results. Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity, however, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity do not reflect our cash expenditures or changes in our cash requirements for our working capital needs. In addition, our calculation of adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity may differ from the adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity or analogous calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.
