Stamford, CT. May 4, 2016 – Aircastle Limited (the “Company” or “Aircastle”) (NYSE: AYR) reported first quarter 2016 net income of $36.3 million, or $0.46 per diluted common share and adjusted net income of $44.1 million, or $0.56 per diluted common share. The first quarter results included total lease rental and finance lease revenues of $183.1 million, an increase of 2%, versus $178.8 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Note: Non-GAAP items reconciled in the Appendix.
Commenting on the results, Ron Wainshal, Aircastle’s CEO, stated “Aircastle raised more than $1 billion in liquidity since the start of the year, putting the Company in an excellent position to capture attractive new investments. By not having our capital tied up in long-term commitments, we are able to seize upon good buying opportunities such as we are seeing in the market presently. We closed or have line of sight to more than $850 million in acquisitions for 2016 so far, and I’m optimistic about increasing this amount substantially.”
Mr. Wainshal continued, “At the same time, Aircastle continued to deliver strong financial and operational results, with solid earnings and cash ROE during the first quarter. Fleet utilization during the period was nearly 100% and we continued to make progress on de-risking the business and improving our portfolio. Finally, we’re realizing tangible benefits from our strong relationship with our largest shareholder, Marubeni, both in the financial markets and through a new leasing joint venture.”

First Quarter Results
Total revenues were $183.7 million, a decrease of $10.6 million, or 5% from the previous year, driven by a $16.8 million decrease in maintenance revenues. During the first quarter of 2015, we recorded $18.1 million of maintenance revenue, primarily from two scheduled lease expirations with significant return compensation payments.
Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter was $183.9 million, down $6.3 million, or 3% from the first quarter of 2015, due primarily to lower maintenance revenues of $16.8 million, partially offset by higher gains from aircraft sales of $6.6 million and higher lease rental and finance lease revenues of $4.3 million.
Adjusted net income for the quarter was $44.1 million, down $6.4 million year over year. The decrease was due primarily to lower total revenues of $10.6 million, partially offset by higher gains from aircraft sales of $6.6 million.
Aviation Assets
During the first quarter of 2016, we acquired three aircraft for approximately $100 million and have commitments to acquire 26 additional aircraft later this year for more than $750 million. These 29 aircraft have a weighted average age of seven years and most are expected to close by the end of the third quarter. Narrow-body aircraft comprise 26 of the total.

Also during the first quarter of 2016, we sold twelve aircraft and other flight equipment for more than $300 million and recorded a gain on sale of $12.8 million. The aircraft sold consisted of two A330s and ten A320s including four newer A320s sold into our joint venture with Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan. The weighted average age of aircraft sold was approximately nine years.
As of March 31, 2016, Aircastle owned and managed 162 aircraft with a value of $6.4 billion. Of these, 153 aircraft having a net book value of $5.8 billion are owned. We also manage nine aircraft with a net book value of approximately $590 million dollars on behalf of our joint venture with Ontario Teachers’.

Financing Activity
During the first quarter of 2016, we issued $500 million in unsecured Senior Notes due 2023 bearing a coupon of 5.00%, at par, and further increased the size of our unsecured revolving credit facility by $75 million, to $675 million. The term of our revolver was also extended one year to May 2020. We also closed a three-year $120 million term financing facility with a group of Japanese financial institutions led by Development Bank of Japan.
We submitted notice to prepay our Securitization No. 2 in May. Repaying this facility will free up approximately $500 million in collateral, further enhancing the Company’s financial position.

IBJ Leasing Joint Venture
Through our relationship with Marubeni Corporation, we established a new joint venture with the leasing arm of Industrial Bank of Japan.

We define EBITDA as income (loss) 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-US GAAP measure is helpful in identifying trends in our performance.
This measure provides an assessment of controllable expenses and affords management the ability to make decisions which are expected to facilitate meeting current financial goals as well as achieving optimal financial performance. It provides an indicator for management to determine if adjustments to current spending decisions are needed.
EBITDA provides us with a measure of operating performance because it assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest charges on our outstanding debt) and asset base (primarily depreciation and amortization) from our operating results. Accordingly, this metric measures our financial performance based on operational factors that management can impact in the short-term, namely the cost structure, or expenses, of the organization. EBITDA is one of the metrics used by senior management and the board of directors to review the consolidated financial performance of our business.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA (as defined above) further adjusted to give effect to adjustments required in calculating covenant ratios and compliance as that term is defined in the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes. Adjusted EBITDA is a material component of these covenants.

Management believes that the cash return on equity metric (Cash ROE) when viewed in conjunction with the Company’s results under US 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 impacts related to non-cash revenue and expense items and interest rate derivative accounting, while recognizing the depreciating nature of our assets.
