“We more than doubled our year over year profits in all metrics—Income before taxes, Net income and Diluted EPS. The young age of the highly desirable aircraft types in our globally diversified fleet continue to deliver strong results for our shareholders. Owing to the financial success of the company since inception three years ago, our board has declared the first quarterly cash dividend on our common stock as part of a new dividend policy,” said Steven F. Udvar-Házy, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Air Lease Corporation.
“To further enhance ALC’s growth during Q4 we took advantage of opportunistic transactions and acquired 3 incremental aircraft over and above our new order pipeline. We concluded the first sale of an aircraft from our fleet and profitably redeployed a 737-800 from a troubled carrier. In addition to the strong execution of our business plan during the quarter, we worked equally hard to grow our future performance by increasing our orders in the last few months for additional aircraft from Airbus, Boeing and ATR. We continue to place these aircraft with high quality airline customers many years into the future,” said John L. Plueger, President and Chief Operating Officer of Air Lease Corporation.
Fleet Growth
Building on our base of 142 aircraft at September 30, 2012, we increased our fleet by 13 aircraft during the fourth quarter of 2012 and ended the quarter with 155 aircraft spread across a diverse and balanced customer base of 69 airlines based in 40 countries.

Debt Financing Activities
During the fourth quarter of 2012 and through February 28, 2013, the Company entered into additional debt facilities aggregating $610.5 million, which included a $450.0 million in senior unsecured notes and additional debt facilities aggregating $160.5 million. We ended the fourth quarter of 2012 with total unsecured debt outstanding of $2.6 billion. The Company’s unsecured debt as a percentage of total debt increased to 60.2% as of December 31, 2012 from 31.7% as of December 31, 2011. We ended the fourth quarter of 2012 with a conservative balance sheet with low leverage and ample available liquidity of $1.29 billion. As part of our financing strategy we will continue to focus on financing the Company on an unsecured basis.
Our financing plan remains focused on continuing to raise unsecured debt in the global bank market and through international and domestic capital markets transactions, reinvesting cash flow from operations, and to a limited extent through government guaranteed loan programs from Ex-Im Bank in support of our new Boeing aircraft deliveries.
As of December 31, 2012, we had established a diverse lending group consisting of 34 banks across four general types of lending facilities. The Company’s debt financing was comprised of the following at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

Adjusted EBITDA(2) | | $ | 173,768 | | $ | 102,167 | | $ | 596,451 | | $ | 290,168 | |
(1) Adjusted net income (defined as net income before stock-based compensation expense and non-cash interest expense, which includes the amortization of debt issuance costs and extinguishment of debt) is a measure of both operating performance and liquidity that is not defined by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, income from operations or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income is presented as a supplemental disclosure because management believes that it may be a useful performance measure that is used within our industry. We believe adjusted net income provides useful information on our earnings from ongoing operations, our ability to service our long-term debt and other fixed obligations, and our ability to fund our expected growth with internally generated funds. Set forth below is additional detail as to how we use adjusted net income as a measure of both operating performance and liquidity, as well as a discussion of the limitations of adjusted net income as an analytical tool and a reconciliation of adjusted net income to our GAAP net loss and cash flow from operating activities.
Operating Performance: Management and our board of directors use adjusted net income in a number of ways to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe this measure is helpful in identifying trends in our performance. We use adjusted net income as a measure of our consolidated operating performance exclusive of income and expenses that relate to the financing, income taxes, and capitalization of the business. Also, adjusted net income assists us in comparing our operating performance on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of our capital structure (primarily one-time amortization of convertible debt discounts) and stock-based compensation expense from our operating results. In addition, adjusted net income helps management identify controllable expenses and make decisions designed to help us meet our current financial goals and optimize
our financial performance. Accordingly, we believe this metric measures our financial performance based on operational factors that we can influence in the short term, namely the cost structure and expenses of the organization.
Liquidity: In addition to the uses described above, management and our board of directors use adjusted net income as an indicator of the amount of cash flow we have available to service our debt obligations, and we believe this measure can serve the same purpose for our investors.
Limitations: Adjusted net income has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
· adjusted net income does not reflect (i) our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, or (ii) changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs; and
· our calculation of adjusted net income may differ from the adjusted net income or analogous calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

We believe adjusted EBITDA provides useful information on our earnings from ongoing operations, our ability to service our long-term debt and other fixed obligations, and our ability to fund our expected growth with internally generated funds. Set forth below is additional detail as to how we use adjusted EBITDA as a measure of both operating performance and liquidity, as well as a discussion of the limitations of adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool and a reconciliation of adjusted EBITDA to our GAAP net loss and cash flow from operating activities.
Operating Performance: Management and our board of directors use adjusted EBITDA in a number of ways to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance, and we believe this measure is helpful in identifying trends in our performance. We use adjusted EBITDA as a measure of our consolidated operating performance exclusive of income and expenses that relate to the financing, income taxes, and capitalization of the business. Also, adjusted EBITDA assists us in comparing our operating
performance on a consistent basis as it removes the impact of our capital structure (primarily one-time amortization of convertible debt discounts) and stock-based compensation expense from our operating results. In addition, adjusted EBITDA helps management identify controllable expenses and make decisions designed to help us meet our current financial goals and optimize our financial performance. Accordingly, we believe this metric measures our financial performance based on operational factors that we can influence in the short term, namely the cost structure and expenses of the organization.
Liquidity: In addition to the uses described above, management and our board of directors use adjusted EBITDA as an indicator of the amount of cash flow we have available to service our debt obligations, and we believe this measure can serve the same purpose for our investors.
Limitations: Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Some of these limitations are as follows:
· adjusted EBITDA does not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
· adjusted EBITDA does not reflect changes in or cash requirements for our working capital needs;
· adjusted EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on our debt; and
· other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently from how we calculate these measures, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
