  • Net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $340 million, or $1.40 per share.
  • Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2022 was $464 million, or $1.91 per share.

DUBLIN, Aug. 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE: AER), the global leader in aviation leasing, today reported financial results for the second quarter of 2022 ended June 30, 2022.

"AerCap generated strong results in the second quarter, with a significant increase in activity across all of our businesses. The ongoing recovery in air travel continued to strengthen across all major regions, and was manifested in high levels of cash collections and greater utilization of our fleet during the quarter. The strength in passenger demand, coupled with supply constraints across the industry, is resulting in a favorable leasing environment," said Aengus Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of AerCap.

Highlights:

  • Executed 184 transactions in the second quarter of 2022, including 125 lease agreements, 16 purchases and 43 sales.
  • Significant deleveraging in the second quarter of 2022: adjusted debt/equity ratio of 2.8 to 1 at June 30, 2022.
  • Cash flow from operating activities was approximately $1.2 billion in the second quarter of 2022.
  • Strong cash collections, higher utilization and a decrease in deferral balances.
  • 100% of new aircraft order book placed through 2023.
  • 10% margin on gain on sale of assets sold in the second quarter of 2022.
  • $17 billion in total sources of liquidity, representing next 12 months' sources-to-uses coverage ratio of 2.1x.
  • Rating outlook revised to positive by Fitch.

Basic lease rents were $1,462 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $871 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to the impact of the GECAS acquisition. Basic lease rents were negatively impacted by the loss of revenues from Russian aircraft and were reduced by $52 million as a result of the amortization of lease premium assets.

Maintenance rents and other receipts were $103 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $131 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily due to lower maintenance revenue recognized as a result of lease terminations during the second quarter of 2022. Maintenance rents were reduced by $53 million as a result of maintenance rights assets that were amortized to revenue.

Net gain on sale of assets for the second quarter of 2022 was $35 million, relating to 29 assets sold for $386 million, compared with $22 million for the same period in 2021, relating to 12 aircraft sold for $139 million. The increase was primarily due to the volume and composition of asset sales.

Other income for the second quarter of 2022 was $71 million, compared with $207 million for the same period in 2021. The decrease was primarily driven by the amount of proceeds from unsecured claims. Other income in the second quarter of 2022 included $39 million of proceeds from unsecured claims, whereas other income in the second quarter of 2021 included $193 million of proceeds from unsecured claims.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $105 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $73 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily driven by higher expenses as a result of the GECAS acquisition.

Other Expenses

Asset impairment charges were $12 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared to $57 million for the same period in 2021. Asset impairment charges recorded in the second quarter of 2022 related to lease terminations and sales transactions and were largely offset by related maintenance revenue. Leasing expenses were $193 million for the second quarter of 2022, compared with $59 million for the same period in 2021. The increase was primarily due to higher transition costs, lessor maintenance contributions and other leasing expenses and an increase in maintenance rights expense as a result of the GECAS acquisition.

Effective Tax Rate

AerCap's effective tax rate was 14% for the second quarter of 2022 and the second quarter of 2021. The effective tax rate is impacted by the source and amount of earnings among our different tax jurisdictions as well as the amount of permanent tax differences relative to pre-tax income or loss, and certain other discrete items.

Notes Regarding Financial Information Presented in This Press Release

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

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

The following are definitions of non-GAAP measures used in this press release. We believe these measures may further assist investors in their understanding of our operational performance.

Adjusted net income / earnings per share

Adjusted net income is calculated as net loss excluding the after-tax impact of net charges related to the Ukraine Conflict, the amortization of maintenance rights and lease premium assets recognized under purchase accounting, and GECAS transaction and integration-related expenses. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average of our ordinary shares outstanding. Given the relative significance of these items during 2022, we have chosen to present this measure in order to assist investors in their understanding of the changes and trends related to our earnings.

Adjusted debt/equity ratio

This measure is the ratio obtained by dividing adjusted debt by adjusted equity.

  • Adjusted debt means consolidated total debt less cash and cash equivalents, and less a 50% equity credit with respect to certain long-term subordinated debt.
  • Adjusted equity means total equity, plus the 50% equity credit relating to the long-term subordinated debt.

Adjusted debt and adjusted equity are adjusted by the 50% equity credit to reflect the equity nature of those financing arrangements and to provide information that is consistent with definitions under certain of our debt covenants. We believe this measure may further assist investors in their understanding of our capital structure and leverage.

Net interest margin, annualized net spread, annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization and average cost of debt

Net interest margin is calculated as the difference between basic lease rents, excluding the impact of the amortization of lease premium/deficiency recognized under purchase accounting, and interest expense, excluding the impact of the mark-to-market of interest rate caps and swaps. Annualized net spread is net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average lease assets. Annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization is net interest margin less depreciation and amortization, expressed as a percentage of average lease assets. Average cost of debt is calculated as interest expense, excluding mark-to-market on interest rate caps and swaps, debt issuance costs, upfront fees and other impacts, divided by average debt balance. We believe these measures may further assist investors in their understanding of the changes and trends related to the earnings of our leasing activities. These measures reflect the impact from changes in the number of aircraft leased, lease rates and utilization rates, as well as the impact from changes in the amount of debt and interest rates.

Lease assets

Lease assets include flight equipment held for operating leases, flight equipment held for sale, net investment in finance leases and maintenance rights assets.
