Highlights

During the first quarter, we took delivery of 14 aircraft from our order book, representing approximately $900 million in aircraft investments, ending the period with 472 aircraft in our owned fleet and approximately $31 billion in total assets.
Sold five aircraft during the first quarter for approximately $240 million in sales proceeds.
We have approximately $1.4 billion of aircraft in our sales pipeline in 2024, which includes $666 million in flight equipment held for sale as of March 31, 2024 and $698 million of aircraft subject to letters of intent.
We have placed 100% of our committed orderbook on long-term leases for aircraft delivering through the end of 2025 and have placed approximately 63% of our entire orderbook delivering through 2029.
We ended the quarter with $30.6 billion in committed minimum future rental payments consisting of $16.6 billion in contracted minimum rental payments on the aircraft in our existing fleet and $14.0 billion in minimum future rental payments related to aircraft which will deliver between 2024 through 2028.
During the first quarter, we issued approximately $1.4 billion in aggregate principal amount of Medium-Term Notes across three different markets (US, Canada and Europe) with a swap-adjusted average rate of 5.43% with maturities ranging from 2028 to 2030.
In April 2024, with the support of 52 financial institutions, we increased the capacity of our syndicated unsecured revolving credit facility to $7.8 billion and extended the final maturity to May 5, 2028.
On May 3, 2024, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per share on our outstanding Class A common stock. The next quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share will be paid on July 8, 2024 to holders of record of our Class A common stock as of June 4, 2024.

Financial Overview

Our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2024 increased by 4% to $663 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in total revenues was primarily driven by the continued growth in our fleet and an increase in sales activity partially offset by a decrease in end of lease revenue. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $23.0 million in gains from the sale of five aircraft and $12.7 million in end of lease revenue from the return of two aircraft. During the first quarter of 2023, we recognized $8.8 million from the sale of two aircraft and $34.7 million in end of lease revenue from the return of 10 aircraft.

Our net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $97 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, compared to $118 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease from the prior year period is primarily due to higher interest expense driven by the increase in our composite cost of funds, partially offset by the increase in revenues discussed above.

Adjusted net income before income taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $146 million, or $1.31 per adjusted diluted share, as compared to $167 million, or $1.50 per adjusted diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Adjusted net income before income taxes decreased primarily due to higher interest expense driven by the increase in our composite cost of funds, partially offset by the increase in revenues discussed above.

Flight Equipment Portfolio

As of March 31, 2024, the net book value of our fleet increased to $26.5 billion, compared to $26.2 billion as of December 31, 2023.

(1)		Adjusted net income before income taxes (defined as net income attributable 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 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 attributable to common stockholders, pre-tax 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 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.
