Air Lease Corporation (ALC) (NYSE: AL) announces financial
results for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2023.
“ALC’s healthy third quarter performance reflects continued
strength in the underlying fundamentals of our business. Aircraft
demand remains very strong, while supply chain and other OEM
challenges will continue to constrain the supply of commercial
aircraft. We are also pleased by the attractive valuations that we
are seeing in the aircraft sales market and are optimistic about
the prospects for our own sizable aircraft sales pipeline,” said
John L. Plueger, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Steven
F. Udvar-Házy, Executive Chairman of the Board.

Highlights
- Took delivery of eight aircraft from our orderbook during the
quarter, representing approximately $450 million in aircraft
investments, ending the period with approximately $30 billion in
total assets.
- Sold eight aircraft during the quarter for approximately $350
million in sales proceeds.
- As of November 6, 2023, we had 40 aircraft with a carrying
value of approximately $1.8 billion in our sales pipeline, which
includes the 13 aircraft with a carrying value of approximately
$670 million classified as flight equipment held for sale as of
September 30, 2023 and 27 aircraft with a carrying value of $1.1
billion subject to letters of intent.
- Placed 100% of our contracted orderbook positions on long-term
leases for aircraft delivering through the end of 2025 and have
placed 67% of our entire orderbook.
- Ended the quarter with $31.2 billion in committed minimum
future rental payments consisting of $16.1 billion in contracted
minimum rental payments on the aircraft in our existing fleet and
$15.1 billion in minimum future rental payments related to aircraft
on order.
- On November 3, 2023, our board of directors increased our
quarterly cash dividend by 5%, from $0.20 per share to $0.21 per
share on our outstanding Class A common stock. The next quarterly
dividend of $0.21 per share will be paid on January 10, 2024 to
holders of record of our common stock as of December 15, 2023.
Financial Overview
Our total revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2023
increased by 17% to $659.4 million as compared to the three months
ended September 30, 2022. The increase in total revenues was
primarily driven by the continued growth in our fleet and an
increase in sales activity. The increase in aircraft sales, trading
and other revenue was primarily related to the sale of eight
aircraft and one sales-type lease transaction which generated
approximately $43.9 million in gains. During the three months ended
September 30, 2022, we recorded approximately $11.6 million in
gains from four sales-type lease transactions and the sale of one
aircraft.
Our net income attributable to common stockholders for the three
months ended September 30, 2023 was $122.0 million, or $1.10 per
diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common
stockholders of $100.0 million, or $0.90 per diluted share, for the
three months ended September 30, 2022. Our adjusted net income
before income taxes during the three months ended September 30,
2023 was $177.0 million or $1.59 per adjusted diluted share, as
compared to $146.3 million, or $1.32 per adjusted diluted share,
for the three months ended September 30, 2022. Net income
attributable to common stockholders and adjusted net income before
income taxes increased from the prior year period due to the growth
of our fleet and increase in sales activity, partially offset by an
increase in interest expense as a result of the increase in our
composite cost of funds due to the rise in prevailing interest
rates.
Flight Equipment
Portfolio
As of September 30, 2023, the net book value of our fleet
increased to $25.6 billion, compared to $24.5 billion as of
December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, we owned 448 aircraft
in our aircraft portfolio, comprised of 331 narrowbody aircraft and
117 widebody aircraft, and we managed 79 aircraft. The weighted
average fleet age and weighted average remaining lease term of
flight equipment subject to operating lease as of September 30,
2023 was 4.6 years and 7.0 years, respectively. We have a globally
diversified customer base of 117 airlines in 63 countries as of
September 30, 2023.

- obsolescence of, or changes in overall demand for, our

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

failure of such insurers to fulfill their contractual
obligations;
- 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, 2022, and other SEC filings, including future SEC

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.
