Company Background and Overview	Company Background and Overview Air Lease Corporation (the “Company”, “ALC”, “we”, “our” or “us”) is a leading aircraft leasing company that was founded by aircraft leasing industry pioneer, Steven F. Udvar-Házy. The Company is principally engaged in purchasing the most modern, fuel-efficient, new technology commercial jet aircraft directly from aircraft manufacturers, such as The Boeing Company (“Boeing”) and Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”). The Company leases these aircraft to airlines throughout the world with the intention to generate attractive returns on equity. As of March 31, 2024, the Company owned 472 aircraft, managed 73 aircraft and had 320 aircraft on order with aircraft manufacturers. In addition to its leasing activities, the Company sells aircraft from its fleet to third parties, including other leasing companies, financial services companies, airlines and other investors.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Preparation and Critical Accounting Policies	Basis of Preparation and Critical Accounting Policies The Company consolidates financial statements of all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including the accounts of any Variable Interest Entity in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and for which it is the primary beneficiary. All material intercompany balances are eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, which are in the opinion of management necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows at March 31, 2024, and for all periods presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740) Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The new requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. The Company is still evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 but does not expect the application of this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statement disclosures.

Senior unsecured securities (including Medium-Term Note Program) As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $16.3 billion in senior unsecured securities outstanding. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued (i) $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.10% Medium-Term Notes due 2029 (ii) Canadian dollar (“C$”) denominated debt of C$400.0 million in additional aggregate principal amount of 5.40% Medium-Term Notes due 2028 (“2024 C$ notes”) and (iii) Euro (“€”) denominated debt of €600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 3.70% Medium-Term Notes due 2030 (“2024 € notes”). The 2024 C$ notes issued in 2024 have the same terms as, and constitute a single tranche with, the C$500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.40% Medium-Term Notes issued in November 2023. The Company hedged the 2024 C$ notes through a cross-currency swap that converts the borrowing rate to a fixed 5.95% U.S. dollar denominated rate. The Company also hedged the 2024 € notes through a cross-currency swap that converts the borrowing rate to a fixed 5.441% U.S. dollar denominated rate.

Syndicated unsecured revolving credit facility As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had $1.5 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively, outstanding under its syndicated unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are used to finance the Company’s working capital needs in the ordinary course of business and for other general corporate purposes. In April 2024, the Company amended and extended its Revolving Credit Facility through an amendment that, among other things, extended the final maturity date from May 5, 2027 to May 5, 2028 and amended the total revolving commitments thereunder to approximately $7.8 billion as of May 5, 2024. As of May 6, 2024, lenders held revolving commitments totaling approximately $7.5 billion that mature on May 5, 2028, commitments totaling $25.0 million that mature on May 5, 2027, $210.0 million that mature on May 5, 2026 and commitments totaling $25.0 million that mature on May 5, 2025. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility continue to accrue interest at Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility) plus a margin of 1.05% per year. The Company is required to pay a facility fee of 0.20% per year in respect of total commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest rate and facility fees are subject to changes in the Company’s credit ratings. Secured debt financings As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an outstanding balance of $298.5 million in secured debt financings and pledged four aircraft as collateral with a net book value of $441.4 million. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an outstanding balance of $305.5 million in secured debt financings and pledged four aircraft as collateral with a net book value of $445.9 million.

In December 2022, the Company filed suit in the Los Angeles County Superior Court of the State of California against its aviation insurance carriers in connection with its previously submitted insurance claims for which a trial date has been set for April 17, 2025. The Company continues to have significant claims against its aviation insurance carriers and will continue to vigorously pursue all available insurance claims and its related insurance litigation, and all rights and remedies therein. Collection, timing and amounts of any future insurance and related recoveries and the outcome of the Company’s ongoing insurance litigation remain uncertain at this time. On January 19, 2024, the Company filed suit in the High Court of Justice, Business & Property Courts of England & Wales, Commercial Court against the Russian airlines’ aviation insurers and reinsurance insurers (collectively, the “Airlines’ Insurers”) seeking recovery under the Russian airlines’ insurance policies for aircraft that remain in Russia. The lawsuit against the Airlines’ Insurers is in the early stages and no trial date has been set. As of May 6, 2024, 16 aircraft previously included in the Company’s owned fleet are still detained in Russia. The operators of these aircraft have continued to fly most of the aircraft notwithstanding the termination of leasing activities and the Company’s ongoing demands for the return of its assets.

Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Aircraft Acquisition As of March 31, 2024, the Company had commitments to purchase 320 aircraft from Airbus and Boeing for delivery through 2029, with an estimated aggregate commitment of $20.9 billion. The following table shows the Company’s contractual delivery commitment schedule as of March 31, 2024: Estimated Delivery Years Aircraft Type Last 9 months of 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 Thereafter Total Airbus A220-100/300 16 11 15 17 — — 59 Airbus A320/321neo (1) 14 11 30 50 36 4 145 Airbus A330-900neo 6 1 — — — — 7 Airbus A350-900/1000 3 — — — — — 3 Airbus A350F — — — 4 2 1 7 Boeing 737-8/9 MAX 20 27 21 7 2 — 77 Boeing 787-9/10 11 10 1 — — — 22 Total (2) 70 60 67 78 40 5 320 (1) The Company’s Airbus A320/321neo aircraft orders include seven long-range variants and 49 extra long-range variants. (2) The table above reflects aircraft deliveries based on contractual documentation and production adjustments as communicated by Airbus and Boeing through May 6, 2024. The Company’s contractual delivery commitment schedule is subject to a number of factors outside its control, including ongoing delays by Airbus and Boeing for some aircraft, and the Company cannot guarantee delivery of any particular aircraft at any specific time notwithstanding its contractual delivery commitment schedule. The table above is subject to change based on Airbus and Boeing delivery delays. As noted below, the Company expects delivery delays for some aircraft in its orderbook. The Company remains in discussions with Airbus and Boeing to determine the extent and duration of delivery delays; however, the Company is not yet able to determine the full impact of these delays. Pursuant to the Company’s purchase agreements with Airbus and Boeing, the Company agrees to contractual delivery dates for each aircraft ordered. These dates can change for a variety of reasons, however for the last several years, manufacturing delays have significantly impacted the planned purchases of the Company’s aircraft on order with Airbus and Boeing. The Company is currently experiencing delivery delays with both Airbus and Boeing aircraft. In January 2024, the FAA ordered the temporary grounding of certain Boeing 737-9 MAX aircraft after the in-flight loss of a mid-cabin exit door plug in one aircraft. The 737-9 MAX aircraft has since returned to service; however, Boeing will not be allowed by the FAA to increase 737 MAX production rates until quality control issues are resolved. Due to these production constraints, the Company expects further delivery delays on our 737 MAX aircraft orders, and the Company is unable to estimate when Boeing 737 MAX production rates will normalize. The aircraft purchase commitments discussed above could also be impacted by cancellations. The Company’s purchase agreements with Airbus and Boeing generally provide each of the Company and the manufacturers with cancellation rights for delivery delays starting at one year after the original contractual delivery date, regardless of cause. In addition, the Company’s lease agreements generally provide each of the Company and the lessee with cancellation rights related to certain aircraft delivery delays that typically parallel the cancellation rights in the Company’s purchase agreements. Commitments for the acquisition of these aircraft, calculated at an estimated aggregate purchase price (including adjustments for anticipated inflation) of approximately $20.9 billion as of March 31, 2024, are as follows (in thousands): Years ending December 31, 2024 (excluding the three months ended March 31, 2024) $ 5,521,459 2025 4,245,270 2026 3,804,021 2027 4,626,120 2028 2,330,499 Thereafter 354,227 Total $ 20,881,596 The Company has made non-refundable deposits on flight equipment purchases of $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which are subject to manufacturer performance commitments. If the Company is unable to satisfy its purchase commitments, the Company may be forced to forfeit its deposits and may also be exposed to breach of contract claims by its lessees as well as the manufacturers.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that would occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock; however, potential common equivalent shares are excluded if the effect of including these shares would be anti-dilutive. The Company’s two classes of common stock, Class A and Class B non-voting, have equal rights to dividends and income, and therefore, basic and diluted earnings per share are the same for each class of common stock. As of March 31, 2024, the Company did not have any Class B non-voting common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share takes into account the vesting of restricted stock units using the treasury stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company did not exclude any potentially dilutive securities, whose effect would have been anti-dilutive, from the computation of diluted earnings per share. The Company excluded 1,084,610 and 969,698 shares related to restricted stock units for which the performance metric had yet to be achieved as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The following table sets forth the reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share: Three Months Ended 2024 2023 (in thousands, except share and per share) Basic earnings per share: Numerator Net income $ 107,866 $ 128,720 Preferred stock dividends (10,425) (10,425) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 97,441 $ 118,295 Denominator Weighted-average shares outstanding 111,174,593 110,943,552 Basic earnings per share $ 0.88 $ 1.07 Diluted earnings per share: Numerator Net income $ 107,866 $ 128,720 Preferred stock dividends (10,425) (10,425) Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 97,441 $ 118,295 Denominator Number of shares used in basic computation 111,174,593 110,943,552 Weighted-average effect of dilutive securities 355,177 256,444 Number of shares used in per share computation 111,529,770 111,199,996 Diluted earnings per share $ 0.87 $ 1.06

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Fair Value Measurements Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring and Non-recurring Basis The Company has four cross-currency swaps, which were issued in December 2019, November 2023, February 2024 and March 2024, related to its Canadian dollar and Euro Medium-Term Notes. The fair value of these swaps as a foreign currency exchange derivative are categorized as a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy and are measured on a recurring basis. As of March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of one of the Company’s foreign exchange swaps was a derivative asset of $5.6 million and the remaining three swaps was a derivative liability of $8.5 million. As of December 31, 2023, the estimated fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange swaps was a derivative asset of $17.0 million. Derivative assets are included in Other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets while derivative liabilities are included in Accrued interest and other payables on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Financial Instruments Not Measured at Fair Values The fair value of debt financing is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues, or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities, which would be categorized as a Level 2 measurement in the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of debt financing as of March 31, 2024 was $19.0 billion compared to a book value of $19.7 billion. The estimated fair value of debt financing as of December 31, 2023 was $18.7 billion compared to a book value of $19.4 billion. The following financial instruments are not measured at fair value on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2024, but require disclosure of their fair values: cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. The estimated fair value of such instruments at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 approximates their carrying value as reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of all these instruments would be categorized as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-based Compensation	Stock-based Compensation On May 3, 2023, the stockholders of the Company approved the Air Lease Corporation 2023 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2023 Plan”). As of March 31, 2024, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock available for new award grants under the 2023 Plan is approximately 3,719,460. The Company has issued restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with four different vesting criteria: those RSUs that vest based on the attainment of book-value goals, those RSUs that vest based on the attainment of Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) goals, time based RSUs that vest ratably over a time period of three years and RSUs that cliff vest at the end of a one two The Company recorded $8.3 million and $5.9 million of stock-based compensation expense related to RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Restricted Stock Units Compensation cost for RSUs is measured at the grant date based on fair value and recognized over the vesting period. The fair value of time based and book value RSUs is determined based on the closing market price of the Company’s Class A common stock on the date of grant, while the fair value of RSUs that vest based on the attainment of TSR goals is determined at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Included in the Monte Carlo simulation model were certain assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables, such as expected volatility, risk-free interest rate and expected dividends. To appropriately value the award, the risk-free interest rate is estimated for the time period from the valuation date until the vesting date and the historical volatilities were estimated based on a historical timeframe equal to the time from the valuation date until the end date of the performance period. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company granted 810,284 RSUs of which 133,438 are TSR RSUs and 308,421 are book value RSUs. The following table summarizes the activities for the Company’s unvested RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024: Unvested Restricted Stock Units Number of Weighted-Average Unvested at December 31, 2023 1,607,575 $ 46.44 Granted 810,284 $ 41.34 Vested (1) (567,154) $ 45.26 Forfeited/canceled (75,779) $ 54.03 Unvested at March 31, 2024 1,774,926 $ 44.16 Expected to vest after March 31, 2024 2,009,069 $ 44.08 (1) During the three months ended March 31, 2024, 247,258 performance based RSUs and 319,896 time-based RSUs vested. As of March 31, 2024, there was $58.1 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock-based payments granted to employees. Total unrecognized compensation expense will be recognized over a weighted-average remaining period of 2.12 years.
