Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(US dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

1. General

 

The Company

 

We are an integrated global aviation company, conducting aircraft and engine leasing and trading and parts sales. We also provide a wide range of aircraft management services to other owners of aircraft. We are headquartered in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, with principal offices in Shannon, Ireland, Ft. Lauderdale and Miami, Florida and Goodyear, Arizona.

 

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”) 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 Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 141, “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. Additionally in accordance with SFAS 141, these consolidated financial statements are presented as if AerCap Holdings N.V. had been the acquiring entity of AerCap B.V. on June 30, 2005. On November 27, 2006, we completed an initial public offering of 6,800,000 of our ordinary shares at $23 per share generating net proceeds of $143,017 which we used to repay debt.

 

Variable interest entities

 

There have been no changes to our variable interest entities from those disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on April 1, 2009.

 

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 FIN 46R. 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.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(US dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

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, 2008. 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 three months ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

 

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. 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 utilizes professional appraisers and valuation experts, 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.

 

In the three months ended March 31, 2009, we changed our estimates of useful lives and residual values of certain older aircraft which are designated for part-out during the next three years. The change in estimates is a result of the current market conditions that have negatively affected the useful lives and residual values for older fuel-inefficient aircraft. In the three months ended March 31, 2009, an additional charge of $3.4 million was recorded as depreciation as a result of the change in estimate. The effect on net income from continuing operations was to reduce net income by $3.0 million, or $0.04 basic and diluted per share.

 

3.  Recent accounting pronouncements

 

SFAS 141(R)

 

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007), “Business Combinations” (“SFAS 141(R)”). SFAS 141(R) changes the accounting for business combinations in a number of ways, including broadening the transactions or events that are considered business combinations; requiring an acquirer to recognize 100 percent of the fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling (i.e., minority) interests; recognizing contingent consideration arrangements at their acquisition-date fair values with subsequent changes in fair value generally reflected in income; and recognizing pre-acquisition loss and gain contingencies at their acquisition-date fair values, among other changes. We adopted SFAS 141(R) for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. Our adoption of this guidance did not have any effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, but may have an effect on the accounting for future business combinations, if any.

 

SFAS 160

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Non-controlling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51” (“SFAS 160”). SFAS 160 requires non-controlling (formally known as minority) interests in partially owned consolidated subsidiaries to be classified on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a separate component of consolidated shareholders’ equity. SFAS 160 also establishes accounting rules for subsequent acquisitions and sales of non-controlling interests and how non-controlling interests should be presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. The non-controlling interests’ share of subsidiary income should be reported as a part of consolidated net income with disclosure of the attribution of consolidated net income to the controlling and non-controlling interests on the face of the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Income. SFAS 160 became effective for us beginning with financial statements issued for the first quarter of 2009. SFAS 160 must be adopted prospectively, except that non-controlling interests should be reclassified from liabilities to a separate component of shareholders’ equity and consolidated net income should be recast to include net income attributable to both the controlling and non-controlling interests retrospectively. We have adopted SFAS 160 as of January 1, 2009.

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(US dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

SFAS 161

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133” (“SFAS 161”).  SFAS 161 requires enhanced disclosures about an entity’s derivative and hedging activities and thereby improves the transparency of financial reporting. This Statement is effective for us in the first quarter of 2009.  We have adopted SFAS 161 as of January 1, 2009. Because FAS 161 only requires additional disclosures, it has no effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

FSP FAS 157-4

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4, “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly” (“FSP FAS 157-4”). FSP FAS 157-4 amends SFAS 157, “Fair Value Measurements” and emphasizes that even if there has been a significant decrease in the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability and regardless of the valuation technique(s) used, the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same. FSP FAS 157-4 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, and shall be applied prospectively. Early adoption is permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We will adopt FSP FAS 157-4 in the second quarter of 2009. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 amends SFAS 107, “Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments”, to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies as well as in annual financial statements. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 also amends APB Opinion No. 28, “Interim Financial Reporting”, to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 is effective for interim reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We will adopt FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 in the second quarter of 2009. As FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 only requires additional disclosures, it will have no effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2

 

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments” (“FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2”). FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 amends the other-than-temporary impairments on debt and equity securities in the financial statements. This FSP does not amend existing recognitions and measurement guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments of equity securities. FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted for periods ending after March 15, 2009. We will adopt FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 in the second quarter of 2009. We are currently evaluating the effect the adoption of FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 will have on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

4.  Fair value measurements

 

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We adopted the standard on January 1, 2008.

 

Under SFAS 157, 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

AerCap Holdings N.V. and Subsidiaries

 

Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(US dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)

 

the asset or liability.

 

The Company adopted SFAS 157 for all financial assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis, prospectively from January 1, 2008. The application of SFAS 157 for financial instruments which are periodically measured at fair value did not have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

 

Under SFAS 157, 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 SFAS 157 hierarchy are as follows:

 

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

 

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 March 31, 2009 that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. As required by SFAS No. 157, 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, consists 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 and foreign currency forward contracts swaps. 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) 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 carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include aircraft. We record aircraft at fair value when we determine the carrying value may not be recoverable, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” 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 as to future cash proceeds from leasing and selling aircraft. In the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized an impairment of $7.2 million. The impairment related to three older A320 aircraft for which we received end-of-lease payments from the previous lessees.

11. Share-based compensation

 

Bermuda Equity Grants

 

There were no additional restricted shares or share options issued under the Bermuda Equity Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  The table below indicates the number of options outstanding under the Bermuda Equity Plan which are still subject to expense recognition under FAS 123R, stated in equivalent shares of AerCap Holdings N.V. into which such options are exercisable and exchangeable:

AerCap Holdings N.V. Equity Grants

 

No additional stock options were issued under the NV Equity Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2009.  At March 31, 2009, there were 2.4 million stock options outstanding at an exercise price of $24.63 per share, 100,000 stock options outstanding at an exercise price of $15.03 per share and 700,000 stock options outstanding at an exercise price of $2.95 per share. At March 31, 2009, 300,000 outstanding options were vested, 312,500 options were subject to performance criteria which were not met and were therefore unexercisable and 2,587,500 options were subject to future time and performance-based vesting criteria.  Assuming that vesting criteria applicable to unvested stock options 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 $2,720 during the remainder of 2009 and approximately $3,610, $2,660 and $34 during the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, 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. We have no dilutive shares or share options. As disclosed in Note 11, there are 3.2 million share options 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

 

Prior to the acquisition of AeroTurbine, Inc. (“AT”) on April 26, 2006, we operated in one reportable segment—leasing, financing and management of commercial aircraft.  From the date of the acquisition of AT, we manage our business, analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of two business segments—leasing, financing, sales and management of commercial aircraft (“Aircraft”) and leasing, financing and sales of engines and parts (“Engine and parts”).

 

The following sets forth significant information from our reportable segments:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

You should read this discussion in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Interim Report. Our financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, or U.S. GAAP and are presented in U.S. dollars.

 

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:

 

·                  our ability to successfully negotiate aircraft and engine purchases, sales and leases, to collect outstanding amounts due and to repossess aircraft and engines under defaulted leases, and to control costs and expenses,

 

·                  decreases in the overall demand for commercial aircraft and engine leasing and aircraft management services,

 

·                  the economic condition of the global airline and cargo industry,

 

·                  the ability of our lessees and potential lessees to make operating lease payments to us,

 

·                  competitive pressures within the industry,

 

·                  changes in interest rates and availability of capital to us and to our customers,

 

·                  the negotiation of aircraft management services contracts,

 

·                  regulatory changes affecting commercial aircraft operators, aircraft maintenance, engine standards, accounting standards and taxes, and

 

·                  the risks set forth in “Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009.

 

The words “believe”, “may”, “will”, “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.

Aircraft Portfolio

 

As of March 31, 2009, we owned and managed 221 aircraft. We owned 168 aircraft and managed 53 aircraft in our aircraft business. As of March 31, 2009, we leased these aircraft to 78 commercial airlines and cargo operator customers in 40 countries. In addition, as of March 31, 2009, we had 42 new Airbus A320 family narrow-body aircraft and 28 new Airbus A330 wide-body aircraft on order. We also entered into a purchase contract for three aircraft and had executed letters of intent for the purchase and leaseback of one aircraft.  Including all owned and managed aircraft, aircraft under contract or letter of intent and aircraft in our order book, our portfolio totals 295 aircraft as of March 31, 2009.

In July 2008, we entered into an agreement with Airbus Freighter Conversions GmbH (“AFC”) whereby AFC would convert 30 of our older Airbus A320s and A321s from passenger to freighter aircraft.  Delivery of the first converted aircraft is expected to take place in 2011, with the remaining 29 aircraft scheduled for conversion between 2012 and 2015.  In the future we may choose to acquire additional freighter aircraft or continue to convert some of our older A320 and A321 aircraft to freighter aircraft.

 

Engine Portfolio

 

We maintain a diverse inventory of high-demand, modern and fuel-efficient engines. As of March 31, 2009, we owned 77 engines and had one new engine on order through AeroTurbine. Our engine portfolio consists primarily of CFM56 series engines, one of the most widely used engines in the commercial aviation market.  As of March 31, 2009, 59 of our 78 engines were CFM56 series engines manufactured by CFM International.

 

Inventory

 

Our inventory consists of aircraft and engine parts. The aircraft and engine parts sales allow us to increase value of our aircraft and engine assets by putting each sub-component (engines, airframes and related parts) to its most profitable use. We sell aircraft and engine parts primarily to parts distributors and MRO service providers.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009.

·                  Basic rents increased by $14.9 million, or 11.8%, to $141.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $126.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in basic rents was attributable primarily to:

 

·                 the acquisition between January 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009 of 68 aircraft for leasing with an aggregate net book value of $1.8 billion at the date of acquisition, partially offset by the sale of 26 aircraft, during such period, with an aggregate net book value of $0.3 billion at the date of sale. The net increase in our aircraft portfolio resulted in a $20.1 million increase in basic rents;

 

17



 

·                 an increase of $2.1 million in basic rents resulting from the increase in our engine lease activities;

 

partially offset by

 

·                 a decrease in payments from leases with lease rates tied to floating interest rates in the three months ended March 31, 2009 due to decreases in market interest rates, which resulted in a $5.1 million decrease in basic rents;

 

·                 a decrease in basic rents of $2.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as a result of airline defaults which occurred in 2008.

 

·                  Maintenance rents and end-of-lease compensation increased by $2.4 million, or 13.8%, to $19.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $17.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase in maintenance rents is attributable to the termination of several leases, which resulted in the recording of $7.2 million of maintenance rents.

 

·                  Sales revenue decreased by $100.8 million, or 70.7%, to $41.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $142.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in sales revenue is mainly a result of the lack of aircraft sales in the three months ended March 31, 2009, due, in large part, to a shut-down of the aircraft trading market. Sales revenue in the three months ended March 31, 2009 was generated from the sale of four engines and parts inventory. In the three months ended March 31, 2008, we sold one A330 aircraft, three A320 aircraft, one Boeing 737 aircraft, one DC8 aircraft, one MD82 aircraft and one Fokker 100 aircraft.

 

 ·               Management fee revenue did not materially change in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

·                  Interest revenue decreased by $2.3 million, or 46.9%, to $2.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $4.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was mainly caused by a decrease in deposit rates of interest.

 

·                  Other revenue did not materially change in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

Depreciation.  Depreciation increased by $12.8 million, or 33.2%, to $51.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $38.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 due primarily to the acquisition of 68 new aircraft between January 1, 2008 and March 31, 2009 with a book value at the time of the acquisition of $1.8 billion. The increase was partially offset by the sale of 26 aircraft with a book value at the time of sale of $0.3 billion.

 

Asset impairment.  Asset impairment was $7.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009. Asset impairment related to three older A320 aircraft for which we received end-of-lease payments of $7.2 million which were recorded as lease revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

Cost of Goods Sold.  Cost of goods sold decreased by $76.2 million, or 69.3%, to $33.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $110.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in cost of goods sold is mainly a result of the significant decrease in aircraft sales.

 

Interest on Debt.  Our interest on debt decreased by $20.1 million, or 40.5%, to $29.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $49.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The majority of the decrease in interest on debt was caused by:

 

·                  a decrease in our average cost of debt by 2.5% to 2.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from 5.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in our average cost of debt results from the use of caps as part of our hedging strategy in combination with a decrease in interest rates. This resulted in a $18.7 million decrease in our interest on debt;

 

·                  a $8.1 million decrease in the non-cash recognition of mark-to-market charges on derivatives to a $0.6 million charge in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from a $8.7 million charge in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

partially offset by

 

·                  an increase in the average outstanding debt balance to $4.0 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $3.0 billion in the three months ended March 31, 2008, resulting in a $6.9 million increase in our interest on debt;

 

Other Operating Expenses.  Our other operating expenses increased by $13.2 million, or 124.1%, to $23.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $10.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

Our operating lease in costs did not materially change in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

Our leasing expenses increased by $12.8 million, or 200.0%, to $19.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $6.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. The increase is primarily due to expenses of $5.9 million incurred in relation to airline defaults which occurred in 2008 and an increase in lessor contributions and transition expenses.

 

Our provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable increased by $0.7 million, or 140.0%, to $1.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $0.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. We did not have defaults that significantly affected the provision for doubtful notes and accounts receivable in the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2009.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.  Our selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $3.4 million, or 11.1%, to $27.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $30.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, due primarily to (i) the decrease in the USD/EUR exchange rate in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, and (ii) a reduction in the number of employees during the twelve month period ended March 31, 2009.

 

Net Income From Continuing Operations Before Income Taxes.  For the reasons explained above, our income from continuing operations before income taxes decreased by $19.4 million, or 35.1%, to $35.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $55.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

Provision for Income Taxes.  Our provision for income taxes decreased by $2.7 million or 58.7% to $1.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $4.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 5.2% and was 8.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our effective tax rate in any period is impacted by the mix of operations among our different tax jurisdictions.

 

Net Income.  For the reasons explained above, our net income decreased by $16.7 million, or 32.9%, to $34.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $50.7 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

Liquidity and Access to Capital

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our cash balance at March 31, 2009 was $320.0 million including restricted cash of $145.0 million and our operating cash flow was $111.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Our unused lines of credit at March 31, 2009 were approximately $3.8 billion. Our debt balance at March 31, 2009 was $4.1 billion and the average interest rate on our debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements on our interest rate caps during the three months ended March 31, 2009 was 2.8%. Our debt to equity ratio was 3.6 to 1 as of March 31, 2009.

 

19



 

We satisfy our liquidity requirements through several sources, including:

 

·                  lines of credit and other secured borrowings;

 

·                  aircraft and engine lease revenues;

 

·                  sales of aircraft, engines and parts;

 

·                  supplemental maintenance rent and security deposits provided by our lessees; and

 

·                  management fee revenue.

 

In order to access the required capital to meet our obligations under our forward purchase commitments, we have completed or have undertaken several initiatives as more fully described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009.

 

Since the 20-F filing we have completed the following initiatives:

 

·                  On April 3, 2009, we sold two A321 aircraft which were owned by a non-restricted cash entity. The transaction generated unrestricted cash proceeds of $10.9 million.

Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities. Our cash flows used in investing activities increased by $211.8 million, or 80.0%, to $476.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 from $264.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to (i) an increase of $126.3 million in the net cash used in aircraft purchase and sale activity (including purchases of intangible lease premiums) in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, and (ii) an increase of $86.1 million in the amount of pre-delivery payments made in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

Cash Flows Provided by Financing Activities. Our cash flows provided by financing activities increased by $194.4 million, or 128.4%, to $345.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $151.4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase is attributable to an increase of $197.5 million in new financing proceeds, net of repayments in the three months ended March 31, 2009 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.

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.

As of March 31, 2009, we expect to make capital expenditures related to the 28 A330 aircraft, three A321 aircraft, 33 A320 aircraft, six A319 aircraft and three Boeing 737 aircraft on order between 2009 and 2011. As we implement our growth strategy and expand our aircraft and engine 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, and other debt and equity issuances.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of March 31, 2009, we were obligated to make sublease payments under four aircraft operating leases of aircraft with lease expiration dates between 2009 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 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 a joint venture, AerDragon, which does not qualify for consolidated accounting treatment. The assets and liabilities of this joint venture are off our balance sheet and we only record our net investment under the equity method of accounting.

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 as filed with the SEC on April 1, 2009, 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 US dollar denominated 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 using a cash flow based risk management model. This model takes the expected cash flows generated by our assets and liabilities and then calculates how much the value of these cash flows will change by for a given movement in interest rates.

 

The table below provides information as of March 31, 2009 regarding our debt and finance lease obligation and their related interest rate exposure:

Under our interest rate caps, we will receive the excess, if any, of LIBOR, reset monthly or quarterly on an actual/360 adjusted basis, over the strike rate of the relevant cap. 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.

As of March 31, 2009, the interest rate caps and floors had notional amounts of $2.9 billion and a fair value of $6.1 million. 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 US dollar. As of March 31, 2009, all of our aircraft leases and all of our engine leases were payable in US dollars. We incur Euro-denominated expenses in connection with our offices in The Netherlands and Ireland. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, our aggregate expenses denominated in currencies other than the US dollar, such as payroll and office costs and professional advisory costs, were $11.2 million in US dollar equivalents and represented 41.0 % of total selling, general and administrative expenses. We enter into foreign exchange derivatives 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 derivatives 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.
