1. General

The Company

We are the global leader in aircraft leasing with 1,373 aircraft owned, managed or on order, and total assets of $43.1 billion as of June 30, 2019. Our ordinary shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol AER. Our headquarters is located in Dublin, and we have offices in Shannon, Los Angeles, Singapore, Amsterdam, Shanghai and Abu Dhabi. We also have representative offices at the world’s largest aircraft manufacturers, Boeing in Seattle and Airbus in Toulouse.

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements presented herein include the accounts of AerCap Holdings N.V. and its subsidiaries. AerCap Holdings N.V. was incorporated in the Netherlands as a public limited liability company (“naamloze vennootschap” or “N.V.”) on July 10, 2006.

2. Basis of presentation

General

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

We consolidate all companies in which we have direct and indirect legal or effective control and all VIEs for which we are deemed the PB under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810. All intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. The results of consolidated entities are included from the effective date of control or, in the case of VIEs, from the date that we are or become the PB. The results of subsidiaries sold or otherwise deconsolidated are excluded from the date that we cease to control the subsidiary or, in the case of VIEs, when we cease to be the PB.

Unconsolidated investments where we have significant influence are reported using the equity method of accounting.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in U.S. dollars, which is our functional currency.

Our interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the SEC and U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting, and reflect all normally recurring adjustments that are necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, our interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.

Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

Use of estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting the reported carrying values of flight equipment, intangibles, investments, trade and notes receivables, deferred income tax assets and accruals and reserves. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially.

Reportable segments

We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of one business segment: leasing, financing, sales and management of commercial aircraft and engines.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Our significant accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019.

Recent accounting standards adopted during 2019:

Lease accounting

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard, ASC 842, Leases, that requires lessees to recognize lease-related assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. In certain circumstances, the lessee is required to remeasure the lease payments. Qualitative and quantitative disclosures, including significant judgments made by management, are required to provide insight into the extent of revenue and expense recognized and expected to be recognized from existing contracts.

We adopted the new standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method provided under Accounting Standards Update 2018-11, Targeted Improvements. Under this optional transition method, we applied the new lease standard at the effective date and will continue to report prior comparative periods in accordance with ASC 840, Leases. We have elected the package of practical expedients, which permits us to not reassess lease identification, lease classification or initial direct costs. Upon adoption, we recognized operating lease-related assets and liabilities, where we are the lessee, of $58 million. In accordance with ASC 842, commencing with the three months ended March 31, 2019, we classified collections of finance and sales-type leases as part of operating activity cash flows. In periods prior to the adoption of ASC 842, these finance and sales-type leases cash flows are classified as part of investing activity cash flows.

As a lessor, we lease most of our aircraft under operating leases. Under the new lease standard, the accounting for leases as a lessor is similar to the previous standard (refer to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019).

As a lessee, we lease office space in several locations globally. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, we determine if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. For leases with terms greater than 12 months, operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are included in other assets (Note 9) and other liabilities (Note 11), respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and finance leases are included in flight equipment held for operating leases (Note 5) and debt (Note 13).

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our contractual obligation to make lease payments. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date and are calculated based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. To determine the present value of lease payments, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the lease commencement date.

Our assumed lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Future application of accounting standards:

Allowance for credit losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires entities to estimate lifetime expected credit losses for most financial assets measured at amortized cost and certain other instruments, including trade and other receivables, net investments in leases and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The standard also requires additional disclosures, including how the entity develops its allowance for credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost and disaggregated information on the credit quality of net investments in leases measured at amortized cost by year of the asset’s origination for up to five annual periods. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption will be permitted in any interim or annual period beginning after December 15, 2018. The new standard must be adopted using the modified retrospective transition approach. We will adopt the standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2020. We are evaluating the effect the adoption of the standard will have on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and Condensed Consolidated Income Statements.

8. Flight equipment held for sale

Generally, an aircraft is classified as held for sale when the sale is probable, the aircraft is available for sale in its present condition, and the aircraft is expected to be sold within one year. Aircraft are reclassified from flight equipment held for operating leases to flight equipment held for sale at the lower of the aircraft carrying value or fair value, less costs to sell. Depreciation is no longer recognized for aircraft classified as held for sale.

As of June 30, 2019, 19 aircraft with a total net book value of $507.9 million met the held for sale criteria and were classified as flight equipment held for sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. Aggregate maintenance and security deposit amounts received from the lessees of approximately $117 million will be assumed by the buyers of these aircraft upon consummation of the individual sale transactions.

As of December 31, 2018, seven aircraft with a total net book value of $184.1 million met the held for sale criteria and were classified as flight equipment held for sale in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. During the first quarter of 2019, the sale of six of those aircraft closed and the remaining aircraft was held for sale as of June 30, 2019.

9. Other assets

Straight-line rents, prepaid expenses and other	76,942		79,792
	$	883,181	$	909,190

10. Derivative financial instruments

We have entered into interest rate derivatives to hedge the current and future interest rate payments on our variable rate debt. These derivative financial instruments can include interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options and forward contracts.

As of June 30, 2019, we had interest rate caps and swaps outstanding, with underlying variable benchmark interest rates ranging from one to six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.

Some of our agreements with derivative counterparties require a two-way cash collateralization of derivative fair values. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had cash collateral of $1.3 million and $5.5 million, respectively, from various counterparties and the obligation to return such collateral was recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities. We had not advanced any cash collateral to counterparties as of June 30, 2019 or December 31, 2018.

The counterparties to our interest rate derivatives are primarily major international financial institutions. We continually monitor our positions and the credit ratings of the counterparties involved and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one party. We could be exposed to potential losses due to the credit risk of non-performance by these counterparties. We have not experienced any material losses to date.

19. Asset Impairment

Our long-lived assets include flight equipment and definite-lived intangible assets. We test long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized impairment charges of $17.8 million and $22.9 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized impairment charges of $14.0 million and $16.1 million, respectively.

These impairments, for all periods mentioned, related to sales transactions and lease terminations and were offset by lease revenue recognized when we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation.

The impairment charges of $22.9 million recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2019 included $0.8 million relating to one aircraft which met the held for sale criteria and was classified as flight equipment held for sale in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.

20.Earnings per share

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average of our ordinary shares outstanding, which excludes 2,250,655 and 2,101,497 shares of unvested restricted stock as of June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. For the calculation of diluted EPS, the weighted average of our ordinary shares outstanding for basic EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities, provided under our equity compensation plans. The number of shares excluded from diluted shares outstanding was nil and 84,916 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, because the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

Basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Net income for the computation of basic EPS	$	331,460	$	254,240	$	565,646	$	519,639
Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding - basic	135,917,192		145,272,520		137,029,147		146,228,245
Basic EPS	$	2.44	$	1.75	$	4.13	$	3.55
	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Net income for the computation of diluted EPS	$	331,460	$	254,240	$	565,646	$	519,639

Diluted EPS	$	2.42	$	1.70	$	4.09	$	3.42

Ordinary shares outstanding, excluding shares of unvested restricted stock, as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
	Number of ordinary shares
Ordinary shares issued	146,847,345		151,847,345

21. Variable interest entities

We use many forms of entities to achieve our leasing and financing business objectives and we have participated to varying degrees in the design and formation of these entities. Our involvement in VIEs varies and includes being a passive investor in the VIE with involvement from other parties, managing and structuring all the VIE’s activities, or being the sole shareholder of the VIE.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we did not provide any financial support to any of our VIEs that we were not contractually obligated to provide.

Consolidated VIEs

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, substantially all assets and liabilities presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were held in consolidated VIEs. The assets of our consolidated VIEs that can only be used to settle obligations of these entities, and the liabilities of these VIEs for which creditors do not have recourse to our general credit, are disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under Supplemental balance sheet information. Further details of debt held by our consolidated VIEs are disclosed in Note 13—Debt.

Wholly-owned ECA and Ex-Im financing vehicles

We have created certain wholly-owned subsidiaries for the purpose of purchasing aircraft and obtaining financing secured by such aircraft. The secured debt is guaranteed by the European ECAs and the Export-Import Bank of the United States. These entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without subordinated financial support from us in the form of intercompany notes. We have determined that we are the PB of these entities because we control and manage all aspects of these entities, including directing the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance, we absorb the majority of the risks and rewards of these entities and we guarantee the activities of these entities.

Other secured financings

We have created a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries for the purpose of obtaining secured financings. These entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without subordinated financial support from us in the form of intercompany notes. We have determined that we are the PB of these entities because we control and manage all aspects of these entities, including directing the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance, we absorb the majority of the risks and rewards of these entities and we guarantee the activities of these entities.

Wholly-owned leasing entities

We have created wholly-owned subsidiaries for the purpose of facilitating aircraft leases with airlines. These entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without subordinated financial support from us in the form of intercompany notes, which serve as equity. We have determined that we are the PB of these entities because we control and manage all aspects of these entities, including directing the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance, we absorb the majority of the risks and rewards of these entities and we guarantee the activities of these entities.

Limited recourse financing structures

We have established entities to obtain secured financings for the purchase of aircraft in which we have variable interests. These entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without subordinated financial support from us in the form of intercompany notes. The loans of these entities are non-recourse to us except under limited circumstances. We have determined that we are the PB of these entities because we control and manage all aspects of these entities, including directing the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance, and we absorb the majority of the risks and rewards of these entities.

23. Commitments and contingencies

Aircraft on order

As of June 30, 2019, we had commitments to purchase 331 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2023. These commitments are based upon purchase agreements with Boeing, Airbus and Embraer.These agreements establish the pricing formulas (including adjustments for certain contractual escalation provisions) and various other terms with respect to the purchase of aircraft. Under certain circumstances, we have the right to alter the mix of aircraft types ultimately acquired.

Movements in prepayments on flight equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018
Prepayments on flight equipment at beginning of period	$	3,024,520		$	2,930,303
Prepayments during the period	522,887			828,244
Interest paid and capitalized during the period	53,905			46,582
Prepayments and capitalized interest applied to the purchase of flight equipment	(639,945		)	(642,443		)
Prepayments on flight equipment at end of period	$	2,961,367		$	3,162,686

Asset value guarantees

We have potential obligations under contracts that guarantee a portion of the residual value of aircraft owned by third parties. These guarantees expire at various dates through 2023 and generally obligate us to pay the shortfall between the fair market value and the guaranteed value of the aircraft and, in certain cases, provide us with an option to purchase the aircraft for the guaranteed value. As of June 30, 2019, two guarantees were outstanding.

We regularly review the underlying values of the aircraft collateral to determine our exposure under these asset value guarantees. We did not record any asset value guarantee loss provisions during the six months ended June 30, 2019 or 2018.

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of the asset value guarantee liability was nil. As of June 30, 2019, the maximum aggregate potential commitment that we were obligated to pay under these guarantees, without any offset for the projected value of the aircraft or other contractual features that may limit our exposure, was approximately $31.8 million.

Other guarantees

We guarantee the replacement lease rental cash flows of two sold aircraft, in the event of a default and lease termination by the current lessees, up to agreed maximum amounts for each aircraft. These guarantees expire in 2020. We are obligated to perform under these guarantees in the event of a default and lease termination by the current lessees, and if the contracted net replacement lease rental rates do not equal or exceed the rental amounts in the current lease contracts. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying value of these guarantees was $2.3 million, and was included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2019, the maximum undiscounted aggregate future guarantee payments that we could be obligated to make under these guarantees, without offset for the projected net future re-lease or extension rates, were approximately $10.5 million.

Legal proceedings

General

In the ordinary course of our business, we are a party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operations of our business. The Company regularly reviews the possible outcome of such legal actions, and accrues for such legal actions at the time a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. In addition, the Company also reviews indemnities and insurance coverage, where applicable. Based on information currently available, we believe the potential outcome of those cases where we are able to estimate reasonably possible losses, and our estimate of the reasonably possible losses exceeding amounts already recognized, on an aggregated basis, is immaterial to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

23. Commitments and contingencies (Continued)

VASP litigation

We leased 13 aircraft and three spare engines to Viação Aerea de São Paulo (“VASP”), a Brazilian airline. In 1992, VASP defaulted on its lease obligations and we commenced litigation against VASP to repossess our equipment. In 1992, we obtained a preliminary injunction for the repossession and export of 13 aircraft and three spare engines from VASP. We repossessed and exported the aircraft and engines in 1992. VASP appealed this decision. In 1996, the Appellate Court of the State of São Paulo (“TJSP”) ruled in favor of VASP on its appeal. We were instructed to return the aircraft and engines to VASP for lease under the terms of the original lease agreements. The Appellate Court also granted VASP the right to seek damages in lieu of the return of the aircraft and engines. Since 1996 we have defended this case in the Brazilian courts through various motions and appeals. On March 1, 2006, the Superior Tribunal of Justice (the “STJ”) dismissed our then-pending appeal and on April 5, 2006, a special panel of the STJ confirmed this decision. On May 15, 2006 we filed an extraordinary appeal with the Federal Supreme Court. In September 2009 the Federal Supreme Court requested an opinion on our appeal from the office of the Attorney General. This opinion was provided in October 2009. The Attorney General recommended that AerCap’s extraordinary appeal be accepted for trial and that the case be subject to a new judgment before the STJ. On April 4, 2018, the Federal Supreme Court declined to accept our extraordinary appeal for trial. We appealed this decision on April 25, 2018.

On February 23, 2006, VASP commenced a procedure to calculate its alleged damages and since then we, VASP and the court have appointed experts to assist the court in calculating damages. Our appointed expert has concluded that no damages were incurred. The VASP-appointed expert has concluded that substantial damages were incurred, and has claimed that such damages should reflect monetary adjustments and default interest for the passage of time. The court-appointed expert has also concluded that no damages were incurred. Different public prosecutors have issued conflicting opinions. The first public prosecutor had filed an opinion that supports the view of the VASP-appointed expert. In response to that opinion, the court-appointed expert reaffirmed his conclusion. A subsequently-appointed public prosecutor subsequently filed a new opinion that is less supportive of the VASP-appointed expert’s opinion, but the original public prosecutor then issued a third opinion consistent with the first one. On October 30, 2017, the court decided that VASP had suffered no damages. On April 20, 2018, VASP appealed this decision. We believe, however, and we have been advised, that it is not probable that VASP will ultimately be able to recover damages from us even if VASP prevails on the issue of liability. The outcome of the legal process is, however, uncertain. The ultimate amount of damages, if any, payable to VASP cannot reasonably be estimated at this time. We continue to actively pursue all courses of action that may reasonably be available to us and intend to defend our position vigorously.

In July 2006, we brought a claim for damages against VASP in the English courts, seeking damages incurred by AerCap as a result of VASP’s default under seven leases that were governed by English law. VASP filed applications challenging the jurisdiction of the English court, and sought to adjourn the jurisdictional challenge pending the sale of some of its assets in Brazil. We opposed this application and by an order dated March 6, 2008, the English court dismissed VASP’s applications.

In September 2008, the bankruptcy court in Brazil ordered the bankruptcy of VASP. VASP appealed this decision. In December 2008, we filed with the English court an application for default judgment, seeking damages plus accrued interest pursuant to seven lease agreements. On March 16, 2009, we obtained a default judgment in which we were awarded approximately $40 million in damages plus accrued interest. We subsequently applied to the STJ for an order ratifying the English judgment, so that it might be submitted in the VASP bankruptcy. The STJ granted AerCap’s application and entered an order ratifying the English judgment. Although VASP appealed that order, it is fully effective pending a resolution of VASP’s appeal of the order ratifying the English judgment.

23. Commitments and contingencies (Continued)

In addition to our claim in the English courts, AerCap has also brought actions against VASP in the Irish courts to recover damages incurred as a result of VASP’s default under nine leases governed by Irish law. The Irish courts granted an order for service of process, and although VASP opposed service in Brazil, the STJ ruled that service of process had been properly completed. After some additional delay due to procedural issues related to VASP’s bankruptcy, the Irish action went forward. Upon VASP’s failure to appear, the High Court entered default judgment in favor of AerCap, finding VASP liable for breach of its obligations under the leases. On October 24, 2014, the High Court entered two judgments in favor of AerCap, awarding us aggregate damages in the amount of approximately $36.9 million. We subsequently applied to the STJ for an order ratifying the Irish judgments, so that they might be submitted in the VASP bankruptcy. The STJ granted AerCap’s application and ratified the Irish judgments.

AerCap has submitted both the Irish and the English judgments in the VASP bankruptcy; the bankruptcy court has required that the claims submitted limit interest on the judgments to that accrued on or before the commencement of VASP’s bankruptcy, which has resulted in claims of approximately $40 million for the English judgments and approximately $24 million for the Irish judgments.

On November 6, 2012, the STJ ruled in favor of VASP on its appeal from the order placing it in bankruptcy. Acting alone, the reporting justice of the appellate panel ordered the bankruptcy revoked and the matter converted to a judicial reorganization. Several creditors of VASP appealed that ruling to the full panel of the STJ. On December 17, 2012, the Special Court of the STJ reversed the ruling of the reporting justice and upheld the order placing VASP in bankruptcy. The decision was published on February 1, 2013. On February 25, 2013, the lapse of time for appeal (res judicata) was certified.

Transbrasil litigation

In the early 1990s, two AerCap-related companies (the “AerCap Lessors”) leased an aircraft and two engines to Transbrasil S/A Linhas Areas (“Transbrasil”), a now-defunct Brazilian airline. By 1998, Transbrasil had defaulted on various obligations under its leases with AerCap, along with other leases it had entered into with GECC and certain of its affiliates (collectively with GECC, the “GE Lessors”). GECAS was the servicer for all these leases at the time. Subsequently, Transbrasil issued promissory notes (the “Notes”) to the AerCap lessors and GE Lessors (collectively the “Lessors”) in connection with restructurings of the leases. Transbrasil defaulted on the Notes and GECC brought an enforcement action on behalf of the Lessors in 2001. Concurrently, GECC filed an action for the involuntary bankruptcy of Transbrasil.

Transbrasil brought a lawsuit against the Lessors in February 2001 (the “Transbrasil Lawsuit”), claiming that the Notes had in fact been paid at the time GECC brought the enforcement action. In 2007, the trial judge ruled in favor of Transbrasil. That decision was appealed. In April 2010, the appellate court published a judgment (the “2010 Judgment”) rejecting the Lessors’ appeal, ordering them to pay Transbrasil statutory penalties equal to double the face amount of the Notes (plus interest and monetary adjustments) as well as damages for any losses incurred as a result of the attempts to collect on the Notes. The 2010 Judgment provided that the amount of such losses would be calculated in separate proceedings in the trial court (the “Indemnity Claim”). In June 2010, the AerCap Lessors and GE Lessors separately filed special appeals before the STJ in Brazil. These special appeals were subsequently admitted for hearing.

In July 2011, Transbrasil brought three actions for provisional enforcement of the 2010 Judgment (the “Provisional Enforcement Actions”): one to enforce the award of statutory penalties; a second to recover attorneys’ fees related to that award, and a third to enforce the Indemnity Claim. Transbrasil submitted its alleged calculation of statutory penalties, which, according to Transbrasil, amounted to approximately $210 million in the aggregate against all defendants, including interest and monetary adjustments. AerCap and its co-defendants opposed provisional enforcement of the 2010 judgment, arguing, among other things, that Transbrasil’s calculations were greatly exaggerated.

Transbrasil also initiated proceedings to determine the amount of its alleged Indemnity Claim. The court appointed an expert to determine the measure of damages and the defendants appointed an assistant expert. We believe we have strong arguments to convince the expert and the court that Transbrasil suffered no damage as a result of the defendants’ attempts to collect on the Notes.

In February 2012, AerCap brought a civil complaint against GECAS and GECC in the State of New York (the “New York Action”), alleging, among other things, that GECAS and GECC had violated certain duties to AerCap in connection with their attempts to enforce the Notes and their defense of Transbrasil’s lawsuit. In November 2012, AerCap, GECAS, and the GE Lessors entered into a settlement agreement resolving all of the claims raised in the New York Action. The terms of the settlement agreement are confidential.

23. Commitments and contingencies (Continued)

In October 2013, the STJ granted the special appeals filed by GECAS and its related parties, effectively reversing the 2010 Judgment in most respects as to all of the Lessors.

In February 2014, Transbrasil appealed the STJ’s ruling of October 2013 to another panel of the STJ. The appellate panel rejected Transbrasil’s appeal in November 2016, preserving the October 2013 order. All appeals in respect of the Transbrasil Lawsuit have now concluded.

In light of the STJ’s ruling of October 2013, the trial court has ordered the dismissal of two of Transbrasil’s Provisional Enforcement Actions—those seeking statutory penalties and attorneys’ fees. The TJSP has since affirmed the dismissals of those actions and Transbrasil has appealed that order. Transbrasil’s Provisional Enforcement Action with respect to the Indemnity Claim remains pending.

Yemen Airways-Yemenia litigation

ILFC is named in a lawsuit in connection with the 2009 crash of an Airbus A310-300 aircraft owned by ILFC and on lease to Yemen Airways-Yemenia, a Yemeni carrier (“Hassanati Action”). The Hassanati plaintiffs are families of deceased occupants of the flight and seek unspecified damages for wrongful death, costs, and fees. The Hassanati Action commenced in January 2011 and was pending in the United States District Court for the Central District of California. On February 18, 2014, the district court granted summary judgment in ILFC’s favor and dismissed all of the Hassanati plaintiffs’ remaining claims. The Hassanati plaintiffs appealed. On March 22, 2016, the appellate court rejected the appeal. On April 22, 2016, the Hassanati plaintiffs refiled their action at the trial court. The trial court granted ILFC’s motion to dismiss the Hassanati plaintiffs’ second complaint on November 22, 2016, and entered judgment in favor of ILFC. The Hassanati plaintiffs appealed and the appellate court rejected their appeal on September 17, 2018.

On August 29, 2014, a new group of plaintiffs filed a lawsuit against ILFC in the United States District Court for the Central District of California (the “Abdallah Action”). The Abdallah Action claims unspecified damages from ILFC on the same theory as does the Hassanati Action. On June 30, 2017, the parties to the Abdallah action executed a Master Settlement Agreement setting forth terms on which Yemenia’s insurance carrier proposes to settle the case with each claimant family. Upon the claimant families’ execution of individual release and discharge agreements and upon ILFC’s and Yemenia’s confirmation of a sufficient number of participating claimants, the claims by such participating claimants against ILFC and Yemenia in the Abdallah Action will be dismissed in exchange for payment from Yemenia’s insurance carrier. We believe that ILFC has substantial defenses on the merits and is adequately covered by available liability insurance in respect of both the Hassanati Action and the Abdallah Action.

24. Fair value measurements

The Company determines fair value based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as described below. Where limited or no observable market data exists, fair value measurements for assets and liabilities are primarily based on management’s own estimates and are calculated based upon the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results may not be realized in actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.

The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of a financial and non-financial asset or liability generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. We classify our fair value measurements based on the observability and significance of the inputs used in making the measurement, as provided below:

Level 1 — Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.

Level 2 — Observable market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs from our own assumptions about market risk developed based on the best information available, subject to cost benefit analysis. Inputs may include our own data.

Fair value measurements are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, our derivative portfolio consisted of interest rate swaps and caps. The fair value of derivatives is based on dealer quotes for identical instruments. We have also considered the credit rating and risk of the counterparty of the derivative contract based on quantitative and qualitative factors. As such, the valuation of these instruments was classified as Level 2.

The following tables present our financial assets and liabilities that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

	June 30, 2019
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets

24. Fair value measurements (Continued)

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis

We measure the fair value of certain definite-lived intangible assets and our flight equipment on a non-recurring basis, when U.S. GAAP requires the application of fair value, including when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Additional details of recoverability assessments performed on certain definite-lived intangible assets and our flight equipment are described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019.

Management develops the assumptions used in the fair value measurements. Therefore, the fair value measurements of definite-lived intangible assets and flight equipment are classified as Level 3 valuations.

Definite-lived intangible assets

We use the income approach to measure the fair value of definite-lived intangible assets, which is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows to be generated from the asset.

Flight equipment

Inputs to non-recurring fair value measurements categorized as Level 3

We use the income approach to measure the fair value of flight equipment, which is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Key inputs to the income statement approach include the discount rate, current contractual lease cash flows, projected future non-contractual lease or sale cash flows, extended to the end of the aircraft’s estimated holding period in its highest and best use, and a contractual or estimated disposition value.

The current contractual lease cash flows are based on the in-force lease rates. The projected future non-contractual lease cash flows are estimated based on the aircraft type, age, and the airframe and engine configuration of the aircraft. The projected non-contractual lease cash flows are applied to follow-on lease terms, which are estimated based on the age of the aircraft at the time of re-lease and are assumed through the estimated holding period of the aircraft. The estimated holding period is the period over which future cash flows are assumed to be generated. Shorter holding periods can result when a potential sale or future part-out of an individual aircraft has been contracted for, or is likely. In instances of a potential sale or part-out, the holding period is based on the estimated sale or part-out date. The disposition value is generally estimated based on aircraft type. In situations where the aircraft will be disposed of, the disposition value assumed is based on an estimated part-out value or the contracted sale price.

The estimated future cash flows, as described above, are then discounted to present value. The discount rate used is based on the aircraft type and incorporates assumptions market participants would use regarding the likely debt and equity financing components, and the required returns of those financing components.

Sensitivity to changes in unobservable inputs

When estimating the fair value measurement of flight equipment, we consider the effect of a change in a particular assumption independently of changes in any other assumptions. In practice, simultaneous changes in assumptions may not always have a linear effect on inputs.

The significant unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of flight equipment are the discount rate, the remaining estimated holding period and the non-contractual cash flows. The discount rate is affected by movements in the aircraft funding markets, including fluctuations in required rates of return in debt and equity, and loan to value ratios. The remaining estimated holding period and non-contractual cash flows represent management’s estimate of the remaining service period of an aircraft and the estimated non-contractual cash flows over the remaining life of the aircraft. An increase in the discount rate would decrease the fair value measurement of the aircraft, while an increase in the remaining estimated holding period or the estimated non-contractual cash flows would increase the fair value measurement of the aircraft.

Fair value disclosures of financial instruments

The fair value of restricted cash and cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying value because of their short-term nature (Level 1). The fair value of our long-term unsecured debt is estimated using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments, depending on the frequency and volume of activity in the market. The fair value of our long-term secured debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates and spreads for debt with similar characteristics (Level 2). Derivatives are recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. The fair value of derivatives is based on dealer quotes for identical instruments. We have also considered the credit rating and risk of the counterparties of the derivative contracts based on quantitative and qualitative factors (Level 2).

All of our financial instruments are measured at amortized cost, other than derivatives which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts and fair values of our most significant financial instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows:

25. Supplemental guarantor financial information

The following supplemental financial information is presented to comply with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X.

AGAT/AICDC Notes

From time to time since the completion of the ILFC acquisition, AerCap Trust and AICDC have co-issued additional senior unsecured notes (the “AGAT/AICDC” Notes). The proceeds from these offerings have been used for general corporate purposes.

The following table provides a summary of the outstanding AGAT/AICDC Notes as of June 30, 2019:

	Maturities of AGAT/AICDC Notes
2019 - remaining	$	—
2020	1,500,000
2021	2,600,000
2022	2,100,000
2023	1,200,000
Thereafter	4,350,000
	$	11,750,000

The AGAT/AICDC Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AerCap Holdings N.V. (the “Parent Guarantor”) and by AerCap Ireland Limited, AerCap Aviation Solutions B.V., ILFC and AerCap U.S. Global Aviation LLC (together, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”).

The following condensed consolidating financial information presents the Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Condensed Consolidating Income Statements and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 of (i) the Parent Guarantor; (ii) AerCap Trust; (iii) AICDC; (iv) the Subsidiary Guarantors on a combined basis; (v) the non-guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis; (vi) elimination entries necessary to consolidate the Parent Guarantor with AerCap Trust and AICDC, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the non-guarantor subsidiaries; and (vii) the Company on a consolidated basis. Investments in consolidated subsidiaries are presented under the equity method of accounting. A portion of our cash and cash equivalents is held by subsidiaries and access to such cash by us for group purposes is limited.

In accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, separate financial statements and other disclosures with respect to AerCap Trust, AICDC and the Subsidiary Guarantors have not been provided, as AerCap Trust, AICDC and the Subsidiary Guarantors are 100%-owned by the Parent Guarantor, all guarantees of the AGAT/AICDC Notes are joint and several and full and unconditional and the Parent Guarantor’s financial statements have been filed for the periods specified by Rules 3-01 and 3-02 of Regulation S-X.

Recent accounting standards adopted during 2019:

Lease accounting

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard, ASC 842, Leases, that requires lessees to recognize lease-related assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. We adopted the new standard on its required effective date of January 1, 2019 (refer to “Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 3—Summary of significant accounting policies”). We periodically enter into intercompany lease agreements whereby a 100% owned AerCap legal entity is both a lessor and a lessee of the aircraft asset. As a lessee of the aircraft, the entity is subject to the ASC 842 requirements. Although these leases are eliminated upon consolidation, they are presented discretely within the supplemental guarantor Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2019, operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are included in other assets and other liabilities, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidating Balance Sheets. Operating lease-related assets and liabilities in AerCap Trust, AICDC, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the non-guarantor subsidiaries totaled $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2019.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read this discussion in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the related notes included in this Interim Report. Our financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and are presented in U.S. dollars. Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.

Special note about forward looking statements

This report includes “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We have based these forward looking statements largely on our current beliefs and projections about future events and financial trends affecting our business. Many important factors, in addition to those discussed in this report, could cause our actual results to differ substantially from those anticipated in our forward looking statements, including, among other things:

• the availability of capital to us and to our customers and changes in interest rates;

• the ability of our lessees and potential lessees to make operating lease payments to us;

• our ability to successfully negotiate aircraft purchases, sales and leases, to collect outstanding amounts due and to repossess aircraft under defaulted leases, and to control costs and expenses;

• changes in the overall demand for commercial aircraft leasing and aircraft management services;

• the effects of terrorist attacks on the aviation industry and on our operations;

• the economic condition of the global airline and cargo industry and economic and political conditions;

• development of increased government regulation, including regulation of trade and the imposition of import and export controls, tariffs and other trade barriers;

• competitive pressures within the industry;

• the negotiation of aircraft management services contracts;

• regulatory changes affecting commercial aircraft operators, aircraft maintenance, engine standards, accounting standards and taxes; and

• the risks set forth or referred to in “Part II. Other Information—Item 1A. Risk Factors” included below.

The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “aim,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect” and similar words are intended to identify forward looking statements. Forward looking statements include information concerning our possible or assumed future results of operations, business strategies, financing plans, competitive position, industry environment, potential growth opportunities, the effects of future regulation and the effects of competition. Forward looking statements speak only as of the date they were made and we undertake no obligation to update publicly or to revise any forward looking statements because of new information, future events or other factors. In light of the risks and uncertainties described above, the forward looking events and circumstances described in this report might not occur and are not guarantees of future performance.

Aircraft portfolio

We are the global leader in aircraft leasing. We focus on acquiring in-demand aircraft at attractive prices, funding them efficiently, hedging interest rate risk prudently and using our platform to deploy these assets with the objective of delivering superior risk-adjusted returns. We believe that by applying our expertise, we will be able to identify and execute on a broad range of market opportunities that we expect will generate attractive returns for our shareholders. We are an independent aircraft lessor, and, as such, we are not affiliated with any airframe or engine manufacturer. This independence provides us with purchasing flexibility to acquire aircraft or engine models regardless of the manufacturer.

As of June 30, 2019, we owned 949 aircraft and we managed 93 aircraft. As of June 30, 2019, we also had 331 new aircraft on order. As of June 30, 2019, the weighted average age of our 949 owned aircraft fleet, weighted by net book value, was 6.2 years, and as of June 30, 2018, the weighted average age of our 955 owned aircraft fleet, weighted by net book value, was 6.6 years. We operate our business on a global basis. As of June 30, 2019, 937 of our 949 owned aircraft were on lease to 159 customers in 68 countries and 12 aircraft were off-lease. As of July 24, 2019, four of the off-lease aircraft were re-leased or under commitments for re-lease, four aircraft were sold or under commitments for sale, and four aircraft were designated for sale or part-out.

The following table presents our aircraft portfolio by type of aircraft as of June 30, 2019:

Aircraft type	Number of owned aircraft	Percentage of total net book value		Number of managed aircraft	Number of on order aircraft	Total owned, managed and on order aircraft
Airbus A320 Family	302	15	%	39	—	341

On March 13, 2019, the Federal Aviation Administration issued an order to suspend operations of all Boeing 737 MAX aircraft in the U.S. and by U.S. aircraft operators following two recent fatal accidents involving Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. Non-U.S. civil aviation authorities have also issued directives to similar effect. Boeing has suspended deliveries of the Boeing 737 MAX until clearance is granted by the appropriate regulatory authorities. Prior to the grounding, we had delivered five Boeing 737 MAX aircraft that are currently on lease to an airline customer, and we currently have 95 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft on order. It is uncertain when and under what conditions the Boeing 737 MAX will return to service and when Boeing will resume making deliveries of these aircraft. As a result, we have incurred delays and expect to incur future delays on our scheduled Boeing 737 MAX deliveries.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we had the following activity related to flight equipment:

Basic lease rents. Basic lease rents increased by $53.9 million, or 5%, to $1,077.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $1,023.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in basic lease rents was attributable to:

• the acquisition of 97 aircraft between April 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 with an aggregate net book value of $7.2 billion on their respective acquisition dates, resulting in an increase in basic lease rents of $144.2 million,

partially offset by

• the sale of 111 aircraft between April 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 with an aggregate net book value of $2.0 billion on their sale dates, resulting in a decrease in basic lease rents of $66.1 million; and

• a decrease in basic lease rents of $24.2 million primarily due to re-leases and extensions at lower rates. The accounting for the extensions requires the remaining rental payments to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the original lease plus the extension period.

50

Maintenance rents and other receipts. Maintenance rents and other receipts increased by $1.2 million, or 1%, to $109.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $107.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in maintenance rents and other receipts was attributable to:

• an increase of $4.6 million in regular maintenance rents, primarily due to higher EOL and other compensation received,

partially offset by

• a decrease of $3.4 million in maintenance revenue and other receipts from early lease terminations.

Net gain on sale of assets. Net gain on sale of assets increased by $26.9 million, or 53%, to $78.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $51.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to the composition of asset sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 22 aircraft for $502.4 million and during the three months ended June 30, 2018 we sold 30 aircraft for $737.7 million.

Other income. Other income increased by $4.5 million, or 36%, to $17.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $12.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily the result of higher interest income recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $1.4 million, or 0.3%, to $419.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $417.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to aircraft purchases, partially offset by aircraft sales.

Asset impairment. We recognized aggregate impairment charges of $17.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $14.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. These impairments, which related to sales transactions and lease terminations, were offset by lease revenue recognized when we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $47.6 million, or 17%, to $332.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $284.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to:

• an increase in the average cost of debt to 4.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 4.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The average cost of debt excludes the effect of mark-to-market movements on interest rate caps. The increase in the average cost of debt was primarily due to the reduction in debt assumed as part of the ILFC Transaction, which had lower reported interest expense as a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting to the debt. The increase in the average cost of debt resulted in a $16.9 million increase in interest expense,

• a $1.6 billion increase in the average outstanding debt balance to $30.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $28.5 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2018, resulting in a $16.4 million increase in interest expense; and

• a $14.3 million increase in interest expense attributable to an increase in mark-to-market losses on derivatives. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a loss of $9.8 million related to mark-to-market movements on derivative contracts, compared to a gain of $4.5 million recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Leasing expenses. Leasing expenses decreased by $38.1 million, or 37%, to $65.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $103.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to $20.5 million of lower expenses primarily related to early lease terminations and $18.8 million of lower maintenance rights asset amortization, partially offset by $1.2 million of higher aircraft transition costs, lessor maintenance contributions and other leasing expenses.

51

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $20.7 million, or 24%, to $64.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $85.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation-related expenses.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased by $12.1 million, or 32%, to $49.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $37.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The effective tax rate for the full year 2019 is expected to be 13.0%, compared to the effective tax rate of 12.5% for the full year 2018. The effective tax rate is impacted by the source and amount of earnings among our different tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rate was 13.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The effective tax rate in any period can be impacted by revisions to the estimated full year rate.

Diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share increased by $0.72, or 42%, to $2.42 during the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $1.70 during the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by the same factors affecting net income and the repurchase of 14.6 million shares from April 2018 through June 2019.

Basic lease rents. Basic lease rents increased by $96.4 million, or 5%, to $2,152.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $2,056.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in basic lease rents was attributable to:

• the acquisition of 104 aircraft between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 with an aggregate net book value of $8.0 billion on their respective acquisition dates, resulting in an increase in basic lease rents of $286.1 million,

partially offset by

• the sale of 132 aircraft between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019 with an aggregate net book value of $2.6 billion on their sale dates, resulting in a decrease in basic lease rents of $150.2 million; and

• a decrease in basic lease rents of $39.5 million primarily due to re-leases and extensions at lower rates. The accounting for the extensions requires the remaining rental payments to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the original lease plus the extension period.

53

Maintenance rents and other receipts. Maintenance rents and other receipts increased by $0.6 million, or 0.3%, to $195.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $195.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in maintenance rents and other receipts was attributable to:

• an increase of $2.9 million in maintenance revenue and other receipts from early lease terminations,

partially offset by

• a decrease of $2.3 million in regular maintenance rents, primarily due to lower recurring revenue due to one-time adjustments related to lease extensions, partially offset by higher revenue recognized upon lease expirations, at which time we recognize any retained maintenance-related balances as revenue.

Net gain on sale of assets. Net gain on sale of assets decreased by $40.8 million, or 29%, to $99.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $140.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to the composition of asset sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold 41 aircraft for $842.4 million and during the six months ended June 30, 2018 we sold 51 aircraft for $1,494.5 million.

Other income. Other income increased by $16.4 million, or 75%, to $38.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $22.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized higher other income primarily related to net insurance proceeds and higher interest income.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased by $4.5 million, or 1%, to $844.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $840.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to aircraft purchases, partially offset by aircraft sales.

Asset impairment. We recognized aggregate impairment charges of $22.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $16.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. These impairments, which related to sales transactions and lease terminations, were offset by lease revenue recognized when we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased by $107.3 million, or 19%, to $666.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $559.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to:

• a $46.8 million increase in interest expense attributable to an increase in mark-to-market losses on derivatives. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized a loss of $25.7 million related to mark-to-market movements on derivative contracts, compared to a gain of $21.1 million recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2018;

• a $1.6 billion increase in the average outstanding debt balance to $30.2 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $28.6 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2018, resulting in a $30.7 million increase in interest expense; and

• an increase in the average cost of debt to 4.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to 4.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The average cost of debt excludes the effect of mark-to-market movements on interest rate caps. The increase in the average cost of debt was primarily due to the reduction in debt assumed as part of the ILFC Transaction, which had lower reported interest expense as a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting to the debt. The increase in the average cost of debt resulted in a $29.8 million increase in interest expense.

Leasing expenses. Leasing expenses decreased by $78.8 million, or 33%, to $157.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $235.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to $51.1 million of lower maintenance rights asset amortization and $47.8 million of lower expenses primarily related to early lease terminations, partially offset by $20.1 million of higher aircraft transition costs, lessor maintenance contributions and other leasing expenses.

54

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $39.6 million, or 23%, to $131.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $171.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily due to lower compensation-related expenses.

Provision for income taxes. Provision for income taxes increased by $9.4 million, or 12%, to $86.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $76.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The effective tax rate for the full year 2019 is expected to be 13.0%, compared to the effective tax rate of 12.5% for the full year 2018. The effective tax rate is impacted by the source and amount of earnings among our different tax jurisdictions. The effective tax rate was 13.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The effective tax rate in any period can be impacted by revisions to the estimated full year rate.

Diluted earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share increased by $0.67, or 20%, to $4.09 during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $3.42 during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was driven by the same factors affecting net income and the repurchase of 20.5 million shares from January 2018 through June 2019.

Liquidity and capital resources

The following table presents our consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018
	(U.S. Dollars in millions)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	1,520.2		$	1,345.2
Net cash used in investing activities	(1,329.3		)	(1,241.8		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(635.3		)	(271.7		)

Cash flows provided by operating activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our cash provided by operating activities of $1,520.2 million was the result of net income of $581.3 million, non-cash and other adjustments to net income of $999.5 million and collections of finance and sales-type leases of $45.4 million (which was included in cash flows used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018), partially offset by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $106.0 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our cash provided by operating activities of $1,345.2 million was the result of net income of $520.1 million, non-cash and other adjustments to net income of $860.0 million, partially offset by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $34.9 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our cash used in investing activities of $1,329.3 million primarily consisted of cash used for the purchase of aircraft and other assets of $2,062.5 million, partially offset by cash provided by asset sales proceeds of $733.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our cash used in investing activities of $1,241.8 million primarily consisted of cash used for the purchase of aircraft and other fixed assets of $2,483.8 million, partially offset by cash provided by asset sales proceeds of $1,195.8 million and collections of finance and sale-type leases of $46.2 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our cash used in financing activities of $635.3 million primarily consisted of cash used for debt repayments and debt issuance costs, net of new financing proceeds and debt premium of $470.3 million, cash used for the repurchase of shares and payments of tax withholdings on share-based compensation of $320.1 million and cash used for the payment of dividends to our non-controlling interest holders of $3.0 million, partially offset by cash provided by net receipts of maintenance and security deposits of $158.1 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, our cash used in financing activities of $271.7 million primarily consisted of cash used for the repurchase of shares and payments of tax withholdings on share-based compensation of $508.7 million and cash used for the payment of dividends to our non-controlling interest holders of $2.7 million, partially offset by cash provided by new financing proceeds, net of debt repayments and debt issuance costs of $160.2 million, and cash provided by net receipts of maintenance and security deposits of $79.5 million.

Aircraft leasing is a capital-intensive business and we have significant capital requirements, including making pre-delivery payments and paying the balance of the purchase price for aircraft on delivery. As of June 30, 2019, we had 331 new aircraft on order, including 155 Airbus A320neo Family aircraft, 95 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, 47 Embraer E-Jets E2 aircraft, 30 Boeing 787 aircraft, and four Airbus A350 aircraft. As a result, we will need to raise additional funds to satisfy these requirements, which we expect to do through a combination of accessing committed debt facilities and securing additional financing, if needed, from capital markets transactions or other sources of capital. If other sources of capital are not available to us, we may need to raise additional funds through selling aircraft or other aircraft investments, including participations in our joint ventures.

As of June 30, 2019, our existing sources of liquidity of $11.8 billion, including estimated operating cash flows of $3.2 billion, were sufficient to operate our business and cover at least 2.0x of our debt maturities and contracted capital requirements for the next 12 months. Our sources of liquidity for the next 12 months include undrawn lines of credit, unrestricted cash, estimated operating cash flows, cash flows from contracted asset sales and other sources of funding.

As of June 30, 2019, our cash balance was $1.0 billion, including unrestricted cash of $0.8 billion, and we had approximately $7.1 billion of undrawn lines of credit available under our revolving credit and term loan facilities. As of June 30, 2019, our total available liquidity, including undrawn lines of credit, unrestricted cash, cash flows from contracted asset sales and other sources of funding, was $8.6 billion and, including estimated operating cash flows for the next 12 months, our total sources of liquidity were $11.8 billion. As of June 30, 2019, the principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness, which excludes fair value adjustments of $129.2 million and debt issuance costs, debt discounts and debt premium of $141.0 million, totaled $29.0 billion and consisted of senior unsecured, subordinated and senior secured notes, export credit facilities, commercial bank debt, revolving credit debt, securitization debt and capital lease structures.

In order to satisfy our contractual purchase obligations, we expect to source new debt finance through access to the capital markets, including the unsecured and secured bond markets, the commercial bank market, export credit and the asset-backed securities market.

In the longer term, we expect to fund the growth of our business, including acquiring aircraft, through internally generated cash flows, the incurrence of new debt, the refinancing of existing debt and other capital raising initiatives.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our average cost of debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements on our interest rate caps, was 4.2%. As of June 30, 2019, our adjusted debt to equity ratio was 2.8 to 1. Please refer to “Part I. Financial Information—Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Non-GAAP measures” for reconciliations of adjusted debt and adjusted equity to the most closely related U.S. GAAP measures as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Contractual obligations

Our contractual obligations consist of principal and interest payments on debt (excluding fair value adjustments, debt issuance costs, debt discounts and debt premium), executed purchase agreements to purchase aircraft and rent payments pursuant to our office and facility leases. We intend to fund our contractual obligations through unrestricted cash, lines-of-credit and other borrowings, operating cash flows and cash flows from asset sales. We believe that our sources of liquidity will be sufficient to meet our contractual obligations.

The following table provides details regarding our contractual obligations and their payment dates as of June 30, 2019:

Non-GAAP measures

The following are definitions of our non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation of such measures to the most closely related U.S. GAAP measures for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Net interest margin, annualized net spread and annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization

Net interest margin is calculated as the difference between basic lease rents and interest expense, excluding the impact of the mark-to-market of interest rate caps. Annualized net spread is net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average lease assets. Annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization is net interest margin less depreciation and amortization, including maintenance rights expense, expressed as a percentage of average lease assets. We believe these measures may further assist investors in their understanding of the changes and trends related to the earnings of our leasing activities. These measures reflect the impact from changes in the number of aircraft leased, lease rates and utilization rates, as well as the impact from changes in the amount of debt and interest rates.

The following is a reconciliation of basic lease rents to net interest margin, annualized net spread and annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Percentage Difference
	2019			2018
	(U.S. Dollars in millions)
Basic lease rents	$	2,152.4		$	2,056.0		5	%
Interest expense	666.6			559.3			19	%
Adjusted for:
Mark-to-market of interest rate caps	(25.7		)	21.1			NA
Interest expense excluding mark-to-market of interest rate caps	640.9			580.4			10	%
Net interest margin	$	1,511.5		$	1,475.6		2	%
Depreciation and amortization, including maintenance rights expense	(882.4		)	(929.1		)	(5	)%
Net interest margin less depreciation and amortization	$	629.1		$	546.5		15	%
Average lease assets	$	37,455		$	34,915		7	%
Annualized net spread	8.1		%	8.5		%
Annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization	3.4		%	3.1		%

58

Lease assets

Lease assets include flight equipment held for operating leases, flight equipment held for sale, net investment in finance and sales-type leases and maintenance rights assets.

Adjusted debt to equity ratio

This measure is the ratio obtained by dividing adjusted debt by adjusted equity. Adjusted debt means consolidated total debt less cash and cash equivalents, and less a 50% equity credit with respect to certain long-term subordinated debt. Adjusted equity means total equity, plus the 50% equity credit relating to the long-term subordinated debt. Adjusted debt and adjusted equity are adjusted by the 50% equity credit to reflect the equity nature of those financing arrangements and to provide information that is consistent with definitions under certain of our debt covenants. We believe this measure may further assist investors in their understanding of our capital structure and leverage.

The following is a reconciliation of debt to adjusted debt and equity to adjusted equity as of June 30, 2019:

	June 30, 2019
	(U.S. Dollars in millions, except debt/equity ratio)
Debt	$	29,020
Adjusted for:
Cash and cash equivalents	(783		)
50% credit for long-term subordinated debt	(750		)
Adjusted debt	$	27,487
Equity	$	9,078
Adjusted for:
50% credit for long-term subordinated debt	750
Adjusted equity	$	9,828
Adjusted debt/equity ratio	2.8 to 1

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk associated with short- and long-term borrowings bearing variable interest rates and lease payments under leases tied to floating interest rates. To manage this interest rate exposure, from time to time, we enter into interest rate swap and cap agreements. We are also exposed to foreign currency risk, which can adversely affect our operating profits. To manage this risk, from time to time, we may enter into forward exchange contracts.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 10—Derivative financial instruments,” “Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 13—Debt” andour audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 8, 2019, which provide further information on our debt and derivative financial instruments.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the exposure to changes in the level of interest rates and the spread between different interest rates. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including government monetary policies, global economic factors and other factors beyond our control.

We enter into leases with rents that are based on fixed and variable interest rates, and we fund our operations primarily with a mixture of fixed and floating rate debt. Interest rate exposure arises when there is a mismatch between terms of the associated debt and interest earning assets, primarily between floating rate debt and fixed rate leases. We manage this exposure primarily through the use of interest rate caps, interest rate swaps and interest rate floors using a cash flow-based risk management model. This model takes the expected cash flows generated by our assets and liabilities and then calculates by how much the value of these cash flows will change for a given movement in interest rates.

The following tables present the average notional amounts and weighted average interest rates which are contracted for the specified year for our derivative financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates, including our interest rate caps and swaps, as of June 30, 2019. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the contract. Under our interest rate caps, we will receive the excess, if any, of LIBOR, reset monthly or quarterly on an actual/360 adjusted basis, over the strike rate of the relevant cap. For our interest rate swaps, pay rates are based on the fixed rate which we are contracted to pay to our swap counterparty.

	2019 - remaining			2020			2021			2022			2023			Fair value
	(U.S. Dollars in millions)
Interest rate caps
Average notional amounts	$	2,470.9		$	2,405.2		$	1,865.7		$	1,361.2		$	812.9		$	7.7
Weighted average strike rate	2.5		%	2.5		%	2.6		%	2.6		%	2.8		%

	2019 - remaining			2020			2021			2022			2023			Fair value
	(U.S. Dollars in millions)
Interest rate swaps
Average notional amounts	$	4,269.6		$	3,945.4		$	3,406.0		$	2,453.1		$	694.3		$	(100.3	)
Weighted average pay rate	2.4		%	2.4		%	2.6		%	2.8		%	3.0		%

The variable benchmark interest rates associated with these instruments ranged from one- to six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.

Our Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing our overall interest rate management policies. Our counterparty risk is monitored on an ongoing basis, but is mitigated by the fact that the majority of our interest rate derivative counterparties are required to collateralize in the event of their downgrade by the rating agencies below a certain level.

60

Foreign currency risk and foreign operations

Our functional currency is U.S. dollars. Foreign exchange risk arises from our and our lessees’ operations in multiple jurisdictions. All of our aircraft purchase agreements are negotiated in U.S. dollars, we receive substantially all of our revenue in U.S. dollars and we pay our expenses primarily in U.S. dollars. We currently have a limited number of leases denominated in foreign currencies, maintain part of our cash in foreign currencies, pay taxes in foreign currencies, and incur some of our expenses in foreign currencies, primarily the Euro. A decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies increases both our lease revenue received from foreign currency denominated leases and our expenses paid in foreign currencies. An increase in the value of the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies decreases both our lease revenue received from foreign currency denominated leases and our expenses paid in foreign currencies. Because we currently receive most of our revenues in U.S. dollars and pay most of our expenses in U.S. dollars, a change in foreign exchange rates would not have a material impact on our results of operations or cash flows. We do not have any restrictions or repatriation issues associated with our foreign cash accounts.

Inflation

Inflation generally affects our lease revenue and costs, including selling, general and administrative expenses and other expenses. We do not believe that our financial results have been, or will be in the near future, materially and adversely affected by inflation.
