Air Lease Corporation Announces Second Quarter 2021 Results

Air Lease Corporation (ALC) (NYSE: AL) announces financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.

“On an overall global scale, the airline industry is improving. Passenger traffic is staging a robust recovery in the U.S.A., Mexico, China, Russia, and most of Europe, with international and long haul traffic at a much slower recovery rate. Outside of China, Asia overall lags in traffic recovery and vaccination rates. Although we still face some customer and OEM challenges in the near term, our operating cash flow continues to strengthen. Lease placements from our fleet and orderbook are accelerating as airlines view recovery and the desirability of fleet transformation to enhance operating economics and environmental sustainability,” said John L. Plueger, Chief Executive Officer and President.

“Pent up demand is resulting in rapid and strong recovery when and where travel restrictions are lifted. Accordingly, we are focusing our leasing efforts on the most rapidly recovering regions, such as growing our U.S.A. book of business, where we see more potential ahead. Canada opening its borders should provide a further stimulant to North America, while we anticipate trans-Atlantic traffic recovery in the near future. Strong freight and e-commerce demand is aiding airline recovery globally, which is particularly beneficial for our widebody customers in Asia and Europe. We continue to see a bright future for ALC in providing for the growing demands of commercial aviation,” said Steven F. Udvar-Házy, Executive Chairman of the Board.

Second Quarter 2021 Highlights

  • Took delivery of 12 aircraft from our orderbook, representing $971 million in aircraft investments. As of June 30, 2021, we owned 354 aircraft in our operating lease portfolio with a net book value of $21.5 billion, a weighted average age of 4.3 years and a weighted average lease term remaining of 6.9 years.
  • Placed 93% of our contracted orderbook positions on long-term leases for aircraft delivering through the end of 2022 and 80% through the end of 2023.
  • Ended the quarter with $27.1 billion in committed minimum future rental payments consisting of $14.3 billion in contracted minimum rental payments on the aircraft in our existing fleet and $12.8 billion in minimum future rental payments related to aircraft on order.
  • To date, 52% of the lease deferrals granted have been repaid, representing $126.9 million. This contributed to the 29% increase in our operating cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
  • Issued $1.8 billion in aggregate principal amount Medium-Term Notes consisting of $1.2 billion at a fixed rate of 1.875% due 2026 and $600.0 million at a floating rate of three-month LIBOR plus 0.35% due 2022.
  • In July 2021, Fitch Ratings reaffirmed our corporate and long-term debt ratings at BBB and upgraded our outlook to stable.
  • Declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per share on our outstanding Class A common stock for the second quarter of 2021. The dividend will be paid on October 8, 2021 to holders of record of our common stock as of September 10, 2021.

Financial Overview

Our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by 5.7% to $491.9 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Despite the continued growth of our fleet, we were not able to recognize $41.6 million of rental revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2021, because lease receivables exceeded the lease security package held and collection was not reasonably assured for certain leases, of which $27.9 million was related to Vietnam Airlines, with whom we are working towards a resolution. In addition, we entered into lease restructurings, which typically included lease extensions, that resulted in a decrease of approximately $45.1 million in revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. These decreases in revenue were partially offset by an increase in other revenues of $34.0 million recognized in connection with the sale to a third party of certain unsecured claims related to insolvency proceedings for Aeromexico. Our net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $85.6 million compared to $143.8 million in 2020. Our diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $0.75 compared to $1.26 for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease in net income available to common stockholders was primarily due to the decrease in revenues as discussed above and an increase in depreciation and interest expense from the growth of our fleet.

Impact of COVID-19 Update

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to our business includes, among other things, the following:

  • As of August 5, 2021, we have agreed to accommodations with approximately 63% of our lessees. To date, we have agreed to defer $241.9 million in lease payments, of which $126.9 million or 52% of the total deferral amount has been repaid. As of August 5, 2021, our total deferrals, net of repayments, was $115.0 million. Our net deferrals represented approximately 1.5% of our total available liquidity as of June 30, 2021. We have also entered into some lease restructurings. The impact of these restructurings resulted in a decrease in total revenues of $45.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020.
  • Our collection rate(1) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was 87% and 86%, respectively. We expect that our collection rate will remain under pressure due to the impact of COVID-19. As lease receivables exceeded the lease security package held and collection was not reasonably assured with certain lessees, we did not recognize rental revenue of $41.6 million and $90.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Aircraft on lease with these lessees represented approximately 10.9% of our fleet by net book value as of June 30, 2021 as compared to 7.8% as of December 31, 2020.
  • Our Lease Utilization Rate(2) for the quarters ended June 30, 2021 and March 31, 2021 was 99.7% and 99.6%, respectively.

Given the dynamic nature of this situation, we cannot reasonably estimate the continued impacts of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations and financial condition for the foreseeable future. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 for further discussion on the Impact of COVID-19.

____________________

(1)

Collection rate is defined as the sum of cash collected from lease rentals and maintenance reserves, and includes cash recovered from outstanding receivables from previous periods, as a percentage of the total contracted receivables due for the period. The collection rate is calculated after giving effect to lease deferral arrangements made as of June 30, 2021. We define liquidity as unrestricted cash plus the available borrowing capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility.

(2)

The Lease Utilization Rate is calculated based on the number of days each aircraft was subject to a lease or letter of intent during the period, weighted by the net book value of the aircraft.

Flight Equipment Portfolio

Our owned fleet grew by 5.6% to a net book value of $21.5 billion as of June 30, 2021 compared to $20.4 billion as of December 31, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, our fleet was comprised of 354 aircraft in our operating lease portfolio, with a weighted-average age and a weighted-average remaining lease term of 4.3 years and 6.9 years, respectively, and 89 managed aircraft. As of June 30, 2021, we had a globally diversified customer base of 115 airlines in 59 countries.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we took delivery of 12 aircraft from our orderbook. Approximately 74% of the net book value of our fleet were leased to flag carriers or airlines that have some form of governmental ownership.

We and airlines around the world have continued to experience delivery delays from Boeing and Airbus and have been impacted by ongoing manufacturer delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, delays related to the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX, temporary suspension of Boeing 787 deliveries, and pre-pandemic Airbus delays that remain ongoing. These delays and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic have also impacted passenger growth and airline profitability and we expect this to continue. As a result of continued manufacturing delays and the impact of COVID-19, our aircraft delivery schedule could continue to be subject to material changes and delivery delays could potentially extend well into 2022 and beyond.

Forward-Looking Statements

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, the impact of the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic on us, our lessees and aircraft manufacturers, our anticipated capital expenditures and aircraft sales, our access to the capital markets, 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:

  • the extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to contain its spread ultimately impact our business, results of operation and financial condition;
  • 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 manufacturers to meet its delivery obligations to us, including or as a result of technical or other difficulties with aircraft before or after delivery;
  • 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, 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 in addition to COVID-19, 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, 2020 and other SEC filings, including future SEC filings.

The factors noted above and the risks included in our other SEC filings may be increased or intensified as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including as a result of ongoing resurgences of the COVID-19 virus and its variants. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic ultimately impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations. You are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statement to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Adjusted net income before income taxes (defined as net income available to common stockholders excluding 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), adjusted pre-tax profit 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 available to common stockholders, pre-tax profit margin, earnings per share, diluted earnings 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 profit 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 profit 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 profit 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 profit 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 profit 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 profit 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.
