      Interest expense excluding mark-to-market of interest rate derivatives was $477 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared with $494 million for the same period in 2024. AerCap's average cost of debt was 4.0% for the third quarter of 2025 and 4.0% for the same period in 2024, excluding debt issuance costs, upfront fees and other impacts.

      Recoveries Related to Ukraine Conflict

      During the third quarter of 2025, we recognized recoveries of $475 million primarily related to cash insurance settlement proceeds and an interest award on the June 11, 2025 judgment from the London Commercial Court, in respect of assets lost in Russia in 2022.

      Other Expenses

      Leasing expenses were $93 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared with $275 million for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a $140 million credit loss provision taken in the third quarter of 2024. Leasing expenses for the third quarter of 2025 were negatively impacted by $22 million of maintenance rights amortization.

      Effective Tax Rate

      AerCap's effective tax rate was 14.5% for the third quarter of 2025, compared to an effective tax rate of 15.5% for the third quarter of 2024. 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 and metrics used in this press release. We believe these measures and metrics may further assist investors in their understanding of our performance. These measures and metrics should not be viewed in isolation and should only be used in conjunction with and as a supplement to our U.S. GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures and metrics are not uniformly defined by all companies, including those in our industry, and so this additional information may not be comparable with similarly-titled measures and metrics and disclosures by other companies.

      Adjusted net income / earnings per share, adjusted return on equity and adjusted earnings per share guidance

      Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding the after-tax impact of the amortization of maintenance rights and lease premium assets recognized under purchase accounting and net recoveries related to the Ukraine Conflict. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average of our ordinary shares outstanding. Adjusted return on equity is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by average shareholders' equity. Given the relative significance of these items during 2025, 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.

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

      Adjusted 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 derivatives. Annualized net spread is adjusted net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average lease assets. Annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization is adjusted 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 derivatives, debt issuance costs, upfront fees and other impacts, divided by average debt balance.
