STAMFORD, Conn., Aug. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Aircastle Limited (the "Company" or "Aircastle") (NYSE: AYR) reported second quarter net income of $18.1 million or $0.23 per diluted common share, and adjusted net income of $20.5 million or $0.26 per diluted common share.

Commenting on the results, Ron Wainshal, Aircastle's CEO, stated: "We continued delivering consistently solid portfolio performance during the second quarter, as we benefitted from effective asset management and improving industry conditions.  We also capitalized on our strong operating track record and balance sheet by securing $1.1 billion in new financing commitments from a variety of debt sources, positioning us well to take advantage of a growing set of attractive new investment opportunities."

Lease rental revenue for the second quarter 2010 was $128.1 million, down 1.0% year over year and includes a decrease of $4.0 million due to aircraft transitions and lease extensions, of which $1.1 million relates to aircraft that were on the ground subject to a forward sale agreement.  These decreases were partially offset by the impact of aircraft acquisitions net of dispositions of $3.1 million.

Second quarter total revenues were $130.2 million, a decrease of $6.7 million from the second quarter 2009, and reflect lower lease rental revenue of $1.3 million, lower end of lease maintenance revenue of $2.8 million due to fewer scheduled lease transitions in 2010 and higher non-cash lease incentive amortization of $2.1 million.

EBITDA was $119.2 million, down $6.4 million from the second quarter of 2009, due to lower lease rental revenue and maintenance revenue of $4.1 million, higher mark to market expense on our undesignated hedges of $1.2 million and a loss on the sale of aircraft of $1.3 million.  These decreases in EBITDA were partially offset by lower maintenance and other costs of $1.1 million as a result of higher costs incurred in the second quarter of 2009 for repossessed aircraft.

Adjusted net income plus depreciation and amortization for the quarter was $79.8 million, down $1.5 million year over year, due primarily to lower lease rental revenue and maintenance revenue of $4.1 million, offset by lower maintenance and other expenses of $1.1 million and lower adjusted interest, net of $1.8 million.

Adjusted net income for the quarter was $20.5 million, down $6.4 million year over year, and reflects lower total revenues of $6.7 million, higher depreciation expense of $2.7 million, partially offset by lower maintenance and other costs of $1.1 million and lower adjusted interest, net of $1.8 million.

As disclosed previously, Aircastle owned three Boeing 757-200 aircraft subject to a forward sale agreement.  During the second quarter we completed the sale of the first aircraft and recorded a loss on the sale of $1.3 million reflecting additional maintenance costs incurred to meet delivery conditions under the sale agreement.  We anticipate completing the sale of the second aircraft during the third quarter of 2010.  The final aircraft is currently on lease and is scheduled to return from the current lessee and deliver under the sale agreement in late 2011.

In June we purchased a Boeing 737-800 aircraft and placed it on lease.  We also have a commitment to acquire three Airbus A330-200 aircraft from Sri Lankan Airlines, the flag carrier of Sri Lanka, in a sale-leaseback transaction (the "A330 SLB Aircraft").  The first aircraft closed in July 2010.  The remaining two aircraft are expected to close in the third quarter of 2010.  In addition we entered into a commitment to purchase one Boeing 737-800 aircraft which is subject to lease and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2010.

Financing Update

In July 2010, Aircastle Limited closed a private placement offering of 9.75% senior unsecured notes due in 2018, in an aggregate principal amount of $300 million.  The notes were issued at 98.645% of par and were offered only to qualified institutional buyers and buyers outside the United States in accordance with Rule 144A and Regulation S, respectively, under the Securities Act of 1933.  We used a portion of the net proceeds of the private placement to repay $25 million drawn under a credit facility used in connection with the purchase of the first A330 SLB Aircraft and plan to use the remaining net proceeds to repay all of its outstanding indebtedness under our Term Financing No. 2 and for general corporate purposes, including the purchase of aviation assets.

We secured a commitment from Citigroup Global Markets Inc. for a $50 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility which will have a three-year term and, subject to the completion of satisfactory documentation, is anticipated to be closed during the course of the third quarter.

In June, we entered into a $108 million loan facility to finance a portion of the pre delivery payments on six new Airbus A330 aircraft under the airbus A330 acquisition agreement (Airbus A330 Agreement).

In addition, in July 2010, we secured new financing commitments for our Airbus A330 Agreement which will benefit from an ECA guarantee provided by Compagnie Francaise d'Assurance pour le Commerce Exterieur, or COFACE, as follows:

  • Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) committed $250 million in debt to finance the first three new A330 Aircraft delivering to South African Airways; and
  • Citibank, N.A. committed approximately $221 million and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd. (BOTM) committed approximately $227 million, to finance six new A330 Aircraft.

We define EBITDA as income from continuing operations before income taxes, interest expense, and depreciation and amortization. We use EBITDA to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe this non-GAAP measure is helpful in identifying trends in our performance. Using EBITDA assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges on our outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results.

Management believes that Adjusted Net Income ("ANI") and Adjusted Net Income plus Depreciation and Amortization ("ANIDA"), when viewed in conjunction with the Company's results under GAAP and the above reconciliation, provide useful information about operating and period-over-period performance, and provide additional information that is useful for evaluating the underlying operating performance of our business without regard to periodic reporting elements related to interest rate derivative accounting as well as gains/(losses) related to flight equipment and debt investments. Additionally, management believes that ANIDA provides investors with an additional metric to enhance their understanding of the factors and trends affecting our ongoing cash earnings, from which capital investments are made, debt is serviced and dividends are paid. However, ANI and ANIDA are not measures of financial performance or liquidity under GAAP and, accordingly, should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flow from operating activities as indicators of operating performance or liquidity.
