Amsterdam, Netherlands, May 8, 2012 - (ACN Newswire) -
AerCap Holdings N.V. (the "Company" or
"AerCap") (NYSE: AER) today announced the results of its operations for the
first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
First Quarter 2012 Net Income and Earnings Per Share
* First quarter 2012 reported net income was $65.0 million, compared with
$72.1 million for the same period in 2011. First quarter 2012 reported basic
and diluted earnings per share was $0.46, compared with reported basic and
diluted earnings per share of $0.48 for the same period in 2011.
* First quarter 2012 adjusted net income was $69.1 million, compared with
first quarter 2011 adjusted net income of $75.3 million. Adjusted net income
excludes non-cash charges relating to the mark-to-market of interest rate
caps and share-based compensation. First quarter 2012 adjusted earnings per
share was $0.49, compared with $0.50 for the same period in 2011.
Aengus Kelly, CEO of AerCap, commented: "The first quarter has seen AerCap
deliver another very strong set of results. The combination of our young fuel
efficient aircraft portfolio, disciplined growth strategy and robust capital
structure continue to deliver industry leading returns. This combination of
factors has also resulted in AerCap being rated Investment Grade by both S&P and
Fitch, these ratings coupled with our ample liquidity and access to capital
ensure that AerCap will be able to rapidly respond to market investment
opportunities that may arise in the balance of this year and beyond."
Additional First Quarter 2012 Financial Highlights
* Net interest margin earned on lease assets, or net spread, was $174.4
million in the first quarter of 2012 compared with $180.1 million for the
same period in 2011. Net interest margin as a percent to average lease
assets was 8.85% for first quarter 2012 as compared to 9.22% for first
quarter 2011. The decrease in net interest margin is driven by the impact
from the delivery of new aircraft.
* Total assets were $9.3 billion at March 31, 2012, a decrease of 5% over
total assets of $9.8 billion at March 31, 2011. The net decrease is
attributed to the sale of AeroTurbine and the sale of our 50% interest in a
joint venture containing three A330 aircraft, totaling $0.6 billion, offset
by new aircraft deliveries.
* Debt to equity ratio was 2.6 to 1 at March 31, 2012, compared to 2.9 to 1 at
March 31, 2011.
* Committed purchases of aviation assets delivered or scheduled for delivery
in 2012 are $985 million, of which $258 million closed in the first three
months of 2012.
* We entered into debt facility agreements totaling $0.3 billion in first
quarter 2012.
* AerCap was assigned an investment grade corporate credit rating of BBB- with
a stable outlook by both Standard and Poor's Ratings Services and Fitch
Ratings.
AerCap's CFO, Keith Helming, added: "We are very proud of the recent investment
grade corporate credit ratings which are representative of management's
disciplined approach to capital allocation and liquidity. The total interest
costs of the Company's debt obligations remain at the 4% level, inclusive of all
up-front fees paid in addition to the hedging costs to fully protect the Company
from adverse interest rate risks. Our debt to equity ratio is now 2.6 to 1 with
book equity of $2.35 billion. Coupled with a total cash balance in excess of
$720 million, AerCap is well positioned to carry forward its business strategy
in 2012 and beyond to maximize value for its shareholders and other Company's
stakeholders."

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:
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share. These measures are
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. Adjusted earnings per
share are determined by dividing the amount of adjusted net income by the
average number of shares outstanding for that period. The average number of
shares is based on a daily average.
In addition to GAAP net income and earnings per share, we believe these measures
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 the mark-to-
market of interest rate caps and share-based compensation to net income for the
three month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011:
Three months ended
March 31,
----------------------------------------------
2012 2011 % increase/ (decrease)
---------- ---------- ------------------------
Net income $ 65.0 $ 72.1 (10%)
Plus: mark-to-market of
interest rate caps, net of tax 2.8 1.5 87%
share-based
compensation, net of tax 1.3 1.7 (24%)
---------- ---------- ------------------------
Adjusted net income $ 69.1 $ 75.3 (8%)
---------- ---------- ------------------------
Net interest margin, or 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, 2012 and 2011 is included above.
