Air Lease Corporation (ALC) (NYSE:AL) announces financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

"We're pleased to report strong first quarter 2023 results, which benefitted from robust fleet growth. Global air travel demand continues to expand meaningfully with healthy airline yields, while aircraft capacity remains constrained. The need for new fuel-efficient commercial aircraft continues to rise, bolstering the value of our orderbook positions and existing fleet. While our deliveries exceeded expectations this quarter, we do foresee OEM delivery delays persisting for several years ahead," said John L. Plueger, Chief Executive Officer and President, and Steven F. Udvar-Házy, Executive Chairman of the Board.

Highlights

As of March 31, 2023, we had 437 aircraft in our owned fleet, with a net book value of $25.7 billion, a weighted average age of 4.5 years and a weighted average lease term remaining of 7.1 years. During the first quarter, we took delivery of 22 aircraft from our orderbook, representing approximately $1.4 billion in aircraft investments, ending the period with over $29 billion in total assets.
Placed 93% of our contracted orderbook positions on long-term leases for aircraft delivering through the end of 2024 and have placed 57% of our entire orderbook.
Ended the year with $30.5 billion in committed minimum future rental payments consisting of $16.3 billion in contracted minimum rental payments on the aircraft in our existing fleet and $14.2 billion in minimum future rental payments related to aircraft on order.
In January 2023, we issued $700.0 million of 5.30% Medium-Term Notes due 2028 and in March 2023, we completed the successful inaugural $600.0 million issuance of 5.85% trust certificates due 2028 in a Sukuk financing. Our Sukuk issuance represents the first ever offering of its kind into the Middle East market from a North American corporate issuer and the largest Sukuk offering from a U.S.-based borrower in history.
In April 2023, with the support of 49 financial institutions, we extended the final maturity of our $7.2 billion syndicated unsecured revolving credit facility by one year to May 5, 2027.
On April 28, 2023, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share on our outstanding common stock. The next quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share will be paid on July 7, 2023 to holders of record of our common stock as of June 6, 2023.

Financial Overview

Our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased by 6.6% to $636.1 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase in total revenues was primarily driven by the continued growth in our fleet partially offset by a net decrease in end of lease revenue. During the first quarter of 2023, we recognized $34.7 million in end of lease revenue from lease terminations as compared to approximately $59.6 million in end of lease revenue from the termination of our leasing activities in Russia in the prior year period.

Our net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $118.3 million, or $1.06 per diluted share compared to net loss of $479.4 million, or net loss of $4.21 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was due to the growth of our fleet and the effect of the write-off of our Russian fleet in the first quarter of 2022. The increase was partially offset by an increase in interest expense due to the increases in our composite cost of funds, aircraft transition costs and insurance expense in the current year period.

Our adjusted net income before income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was $166.8 million or $1.50 per adjusted diluted share as compared to $200.9 million or $1.76 per adjusted diluted share for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Despite the continued growth of our fleet, the decrease in our adjusted net income before income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to 2022 was mainly driven by lower end of lease revenue recognized as discussed above and an increase in interest expense, aircraft transition costs and insurance expense.

Flight Equipment Portfolio

As of March 31, 2023 the net book value of our fleet increased to $25.7 billion, compared to $24.5 billion as of December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, we owned 437 aircraft in our aircraft portfolio, comprised of 323 narrowbody aircraft and 114 widebody aircraft, and we managed 86 aircraft. The weighted average fleet age and weighted average remaining lease term of our fleet as of March 31, 2023 was 4.5 years and 7.1 years, respectively. We have a globally diversified customer base of 118 airlines in 63 countries as of March 31, 2023.

(1)		Adjusted net income before income taxes (defined as net income/(loss) attributable to common stockholders excluding the effects of certain non-cash items, one-time or non-recurring items, such as write-offs of our Russian fleet, that are not expected to continue in the future and certain other items), adjusted pre-tax 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/(loss) attributable to common stockholders, pre-tax margin, earnings/(loss) per share, diluted earnings/(loss) 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 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 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 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 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 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 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.
