Summary of Financial Results AerCap Holdings N.V. (the "Company" or "AerCap") (NYSE: AER) announced the results of its operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2007. The Company recorded net income for the first quarter 2007 of $60.5 million, or $0.71 per basic and diluted common share. This result represents an increase of 70% over the net income for the first quarter 2006. Klaus Heinemann, CEO of AerCap, commented, "Our strong net income in the first quarter 2007 reflects the successful operation of our integrated business model in a healthy industry environment. With the increase of our A330 forward order commitment with Airbus from 20 to 30 aircraft, the total number of aircraft under contract or letter of intent, now equals 121. This committed growth provides us with increased economies of scale for future operations and positions us to take advantage of customer demand for new technology aircraft in the future." AerCap's CFO, Keith Helming, added, "Our strong first quarter performance as compared to the prior year first quarter is evidence of the execution of our growth strategy and improvement of the economics in the aircraft operating lease industry." Detailed Financial Data ($ in Millions) Operating results % increase over First Quarter 2007 First Quarter 2006 First Quarter 2006 Revenues $309.5 $139.1 123% Net income 60.5 35.5 70% Revenue breakdown: % increase (decrease) over First Quarter First Quarter First Quarter 2007 2006 2006 Lease revenue $139.7 $87.9 59% Sales revenue 148.9 33.2 348% Management fees, interest income and other revenue 20.9 17.9 17% Total revenue $309.5 $139.0 123% Effective tax rate The effective tax rate for our aircraft business was 13.2% and was 38% for our engine and parts business, resulting in an overall consolidated effective tax rate of 14.3% during the first quarter 2007. We have adopted FIN 48 "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" effective January 1, 2007. The adoption of FIN 48 was immaterial to our financial statements. Financial position % Increase over March 31, March 31, March 31, 2007 2006 2006 Flight equipment held for lease $3,076.8 $2,280.1 35% Total assets 4,030.1 3,174.8 27% Total liabilities 3,184.6 2,695.2 18% Total equity 813.8 455.2 79% As of March 31, 2007, our portfolio consisted of 341 aircraft and 71 engines that were either owned, on order, under contract or letter of intent, or managed. The number of aircraft and engines in our portfolio increased 35% since March 31, 2006 (303 aircraft and 2 engines). ALS Securitization Refinancing On May 8, 2007 we completed a refinancing of ALS, a securitization vehicle we established in September 2005, with the issuance of $1.66 billion of securitized bonds in one class of AAA-rated G-3 floating rate bonds. The proceeds from the refinancing, in addition to the issuance to AerCap of new class E-2 junior notes were used to redeem $812.1 million of G-1A, G-2A, C-1 and D-1 classes of ALS debt and to finance 28 additional aircraft that had been secured by a variety of other debt structures within the AerCap group. Net cash proceeds to AerCap after payment of all expenses and repayment of previously existing debt on the securitized aircraft total approximately $150 million. The G-3 bonds issued were priced at one-month LIBOR + 26 basis points. We estimate that the interest savings from this refinancing will be approximately $16 million per year, excluding any additional earnings generated from the reinvestment of the cash proceeds. Coincident with the ALS refinancing, the AerFunding warehouse was amended and restructured, resulting in a reduced interest rate spread and a two year extension to the revolving period. The size of the AerFunding facility remains $1.0 billion, which provides us with significant committed debt funding capacity for future acquisitions. As a result of the ALS refinancing, we expect to incur charges in the second quarter of 2007 of approximately $26 million for the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs from the refinanced debt in addition to ALS bond prepayment and other related fees. Maintenance Adjustment On September 8, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued FSP No. AUG AIR-1 ''Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities'' ("FSP"). The FSP amends certain provisions in the AICPA Industry Audit Guide, "Audit of Airlines" and is applicable for our financial year beginning January 1, 2007. The FSP eliminates the "accrue in advance" methodology in accounting for certain future maintenance payments. As a result of the FSP, our previous method of accruing for the payment of top-up or lessor contribution obligations at the signing of a lease is no longer permitted. Accordingly, we have adjusted our historical financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154 "Accounting Changes and Error Corrections" ("FAS 154") to reflect the application of the new policy for top-up and lessor contribution obligations. Under our new policy, we will recognize an expense at the time of the occurrence of a lessor contribution or top-up payment, except in instances where we have established an accrual as an assumed liability for such payment, in connection with the purchase of an aircraft with a lease attached. Following is a summary of the full-year 2005 and full-year 2006 effect of the adjustment on each financial statement line item affected by the change: As Originally Effect of Reported As Adjusted Adjustment Year ended December 31, 2005 (A) Lease revenue $348.9 $335.7 $(13.2) Sales revenue 92.1 88.3 (3.8) Depreciation 112.3 112.4 0.1 Leasing expenses 21.9 27.4 5.5 Income tax provision 14.7 10.0 (4.7) Net income 83.4 65.5 (17.9) Year ended December 31, 2006 Depreciation 102.4 102.5 0.1 Leasing expenses 47.4 21.5 (25.9) Income tax provision 16.3 21.2 4.9 Net income 88.0 108.9 20.9 (A) The figures above for the year ended December 31, 2005 include the aggregation of results for the six months ended June 30, 2005 for AerCap B.V. (the predecessor company) and the results for the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31, 2005 for AerCap Holdings N.V. (the successor company). Of the net income impact of the maintenance adjustment of ($17.9) million, $0.4 million relates to the period from June 27, 2005 to December 31, 2005. The aggregation of these two periods is not in accordance with US GAAP as AerCap B.V. and AerCap Holdings N.V. are different reporting entities for accounting purposes.
