**Other Events**

On April 29, 2026, AerCap Holdings N.V. ("AerCap") furnished its interim financial report and press release for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The information contained in this Form 6-K (including Exhibit 99.1 hereto but excluding Exhibit 99.2 hereto) is incorporated by reference into AerCap's Form F-3 Registration Statement File No. 333-282733 and Form S-8 Registration Statements File Nos. 333-194638, 333-194637, 333-180323, 333-165839, and 333-154416, and related Prospectuses, as such Registration Statements and Prospectuses may be amended from time to time.

***Dividend***

In connection with AerCap's dividend policy, in April 2026, AerCap's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share, with a payment date of June 4, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2026.

The dividend will be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax at a current statutory rate of 25% unless an exemption applies. Pursuant to a confirmation obtained from the Irish Revenue Commissioners, U.S. resident shareholders who hold their shares through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") should be exempt from Irish dividend withholding tax provided the address of the beneficial owner of the shares in the records of their broker, or otherwise provided to AerCap's qualifying intermediary, is in the United States. The confirmation from the Irish Revenue Commissioners is operative for a period of five years until July 25, 2029. Individuals and certain corporate shareholders that are tax resident in a country (other than Ireland) which is a member of the European Union or a country with which Ireland has a double tax treaty in effect (which includes the United States) may be exempt from Irish dividend withholding tax if they provide a relevant declaration as prescribed by the Irish Revenue Commissioners establishing their exemption from Irish dividend withholding tax provided such corporate shareholder is not itself controlled by Irish tax residents.

In addition, the dividend will be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (currently at a rate of 15%) for persons who are resident, or deemed to be resident, in the Netherlands ("Dutch resident holders"). To confirm that a shareholder is not a Dutch resident holder, such shareholder must provide an Irish dividend withholding tax relevant declaration as prescribed by the Irish Revenue Commissioners representing that the shareholder is not a Dutch resident holder except that, pursuant to the confirmation from the Irish Revenue Commissioners referred to above, U.S. resident shareholders who hold their shares through the DTC and have a U.S. address of the beneficial owner of the shares in the records of their broker, or that has otherwise been provided to AerCap's qualifying intermediary, need not provide this declaration form. AerCap intends to presume that shareholders who do not comply with the above requirements are Dutch resident holders.

For a further discussion of Irish and Dutch dividend withholding taxes, see "Irish tax considerations—Dividend withholding tax" and "Dutch withholding tax considerations" in Item 10 of AerCap's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2026. The summary provided therein is not exhaustive and shareholders should consult their own tax advisor to determine the Irish and Dutch tax consequences of the dividend in their particular circumstances.

**AerCap Holdings N.V. and Subsidiaries**

**Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements**

**(U.S. Dollars in thousands or as otherwise stated, except share and per share data)**

**1. General**

**The Company**

AerCap (together with its subsidiaries, "AerCap," "we," "us" or the "Company") is the global leader in aviation leasing, with 1,994 aircraft owned, managed or on order, over 1,200 engines (including engines owned and managed by our Shannon Engine Support ("SES") joint venture), over 300 owned helicopters, and total assets of $71 billion as of March 31, 2026. 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, Memphis, Singapore, Miami, London, Dubai, Shanghai, Amsterdam and other locations.

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 Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").

We consolidate all companies in which we have effective control and all variable interest entities ("VIEs") for which we are deemed the Primary Beneficiary ("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 do not have a controlling financial interest, but over which 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 U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") and U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting, and reflect all 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, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 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, intangible assets, investment in finance leases, net, investments, trade receivables, loans receivable, notes receivable, deferred tax assets, unrecognized tax benefits and maintenance liabilities. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially.

**(U.S. Dollars in thousands or as otherwise stated, except share and per share data)**

**2. Basis of presentation (Continued)**

**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 flight equipment (the "Commercial Flight Equipment Segment"). We manage our business activities on a consolidated basis and the Company's chief operating decision maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The chief operating decision maker uses net income to evaluate the performance of the segment and the returns generated from segment assets.

The accounting policies of the Commercial Flight Equipment Segment are described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026. Revenue, expenses and net income generated from the Commercial Flight Equipment Segment are reported on the income statement as consolidated net income. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets.

**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, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026.

**Recent accounting standards adopted during the year ended December 31, 2025:**

***Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures***

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 is designed to enhance the transparency and usefulness of the annual income tax disclosures. The two primary enhancements include disaggregating existing income tax disclosures related to the effective tax rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. The standard became effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2025, we adopted ASU 2023-09 and the amendments have been applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

**Future application of accounting standards:**

***Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses***

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated information for specified categories of expenses, including inventory purchases, employee compensation, depreciation, amortization and depletion, to be presented in certain expense captions on the face of the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments may be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued after the effective date, or retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on its consolidated financial statements.

**12. 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, U.S. treasury locks, options and forward contracts.

As of March 31, 2026, we had interest rate contracts outstanding, with underlying variable benchmark interest rates of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR" or "Term SOFR").

Some of our agreements with derivative counterparties require a two-way cash collateralization of derivative fair values. We did not have cash collateral from counterparties and had not advanced any cash collateral to counterparties as of March 31, 2026 or December 31, 2025.

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 losses to date.

Our derivative assets are recorded in other assets and our derivative liabilities are recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following tables present notional amounts and fair values of derivatives outstanding as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

**15. Debt (Continued)**

Additional details of the principal terms of our indebtedness can be found in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026. The material changes to our indebtedness since the filing of that report, except for scheduled repayments, are described below.

**AerCap Trust & AICDC Notes**

In January 2026, AerCap Trust and AICDC co-issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2029 and $850 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% Senior Notes due 2033.

In February 2026, AerCap Trust and AICDC redeemed in full the $500 million aggregate principal amount of their 4.450% Senior Notes due 2026 at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

**Revolving credit facilities**

In March 2018, AerCap entered into a $950 million unsecured revolving and term loan facility (the "Asia Revolver"). In March 2026, AerCap amended the Asia Revolver and extended its maturity to March 2030.

**Institutional secured term loans**

In February 2026, AerCap prepaid in full the $400 million Hyperion institutional term loan, which was originally entered into in 2014.

**16. Income taxes** 

Our effective tax rate was 15.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The effective tax rate is impacted by the source and amount of earnings among our various tax jurisdictions, permanent tax differences relative to pre-tax income or loss, and certain other discrete items. Our effective tax rate in any period can be impacted by revisions to the estimated full-year rate.

**19. Asset impairment**

Our long-lived assets include flight equipment held for operating lease 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. We perform event-driven impairment assessments of our flight equipment held for operating lease each quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized impairment charges of $6 million and $3 million, respectively. For all periods mentioned, the impairment charges related to lease terminations or sales transactions, which were fully offset by maintenance revenue recognized when we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation.

**20. Selling, general and administrative expenses**

Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

**(U.S. Dollars in thousands or as otherwise stated, except share and per share data)**

**21. Earnings per share**

Basic Earnings Per Share ("EPS") is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average of our ordinary shares outstanding, which excludes 3,985,063 and 4,707,440 shares of unvested restricted stock as of March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. In general, 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 15,702 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, because the effect of including those shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive.

The computations of basic and diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 were as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
| | **2026** | **2025** |
| Net income for the computation of basic EPS | $818129 | $642860 |
| Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding—basic | 161633204 | 179521844 |
| **Basic EPS** | $**5.06** | $**3.58** |
|  | **Three Months Ended March 31,** | **Three Months Ended March 31,** |
|  | **2026** | **2025** |
| Net income for the computation of diluted EPS | $818129 | $642860 |
| Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding—diluted | 164895113 | 184605431 |
| **Diluted EPS** | $**4.96** | $**3.48** |

The computations of ordinary shares outstanding, excluding shares of unvested restricted stock, as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 were as follows:

**22. 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 of the VIE's activities, or being the sole shareholder of the VIE.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we did not provide any financial support to any of our VIEs that we were not contractually obligated to provide.

**Consolidated VIEs**

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, substantially all assets and liabilities presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were held in consolidated VIEs.

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, absorb the majority of the risks and rewards of these entities and guarantee the activities of these entities.

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 15—*Debt*.

***Wholly-owned ECA and Ex-Im financing vehicles***

We have created certain wholly-owned subsidiaries for the purpose of purchasing flight equipment and obtaining financing secured by such flight equipment. The secured debt is guaranteed by the European, Canadian and Brazilian 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.

***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.

***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.

***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.

***AerFunding***

We hold a 5% equity investment and 100% of the subordinated notes ("AerFunding Class E-1 Notes") in AerFunding.

As of March 31, 2026, AerFunding had $833 million outstanding under a secured revolving credit facility and $2.3 billion of AerFunding Class E-1 Notes outstanding due to us.

**22. Variable interest entities (Continued)**

**Non-consolidated VIEs**

Non-consolidated VIEs are investments in which we have determined that we do not have control and are not the PB. We do have significant influence and, accordingly, we account for our investments in non-consolidated VIEs under the equity method of accounting.

The following table presents our maximum exposure to loss in non-consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| | **March 31, 2026** | **December 31, 2025** |
| Carrying value of debt and equity investments | $88344 | $94832 |

---

The maximum exposure to loss represents the amount that would be absorbed by us in the event that all of our assets held in the VIEs, for which we are not the PB, had no value.

***Other variable interest entities***

We have variable interests in other entities in which we have determined we are not the PB because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entities' economic performance.

*Einn Volant Aircraft Leasing Holdings Ltd. ("EVAL")*

During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into a portfolio sale agreement to sell 18 engines to EVAL. As of December 31, 2025, 17 of the engine sales had been completed. The remaining sale was completed in January 2026.

**24. Commitments and contingencies**

**Flight equipment on order**

As of March 31, 2026, we had commitments to purchase 383 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2034. These commitments are primarily based upon purchase agreements with The Boeing Company ("Boeing"), Airbus S.A.S. ("Airbus") and Embraer S.A. ("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. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we entered into agreements for the purchase of 110 new A320neo Family aircraft, including the exercise of previously agreed options, with deliveries scheduled from 2028 to 2034. As of March 31, 2026, we also had commitments to purchase 15 engines and 12 helicopters for delivery through 2027.

**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.

***Contingent and possessed insurance policy litigation and operator insurance and reinsurance policies litigation***

On June 9, 2022, AerCap Ireland Limited ("AerCap Ireland") (as representative claimant on its own behalf and on behalf of all other insureds under its C&P Policy) commenced a claim in the Commercial Court in London, England against the insurers under its C&P Policy in respect of aircraft and spare engines owned by AerCap Ireland and its affiliates (including spare engines owned and managed by a related party) and three managed aircraft, all formerly leased to Russian airlines at the time of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On June 11, 2025, the Commercial Court awarded AerCap Ireland approximately $1.0 billion under the Aviation "War and Allied Perils" Coverage section of its C&P Policy in respect of this claim (the "June 2025 Judgment"). Following a hearing in September 2025, the Commercial Court in London also awarded AerCap Ireland interest on the June 2025 Judgment amount. On March 31, 2026, the Court of Appeal granted the relevant insurers of our C&P Policy permission to appeal the June 2025 Judgment. We intend to vigorously defend against the insurers' appeal. However, if the insurers ultimately prevail upon appeal, we may be required to repay up to approximately $1.2 billion, plus applicable interest. Based on our current assessment, we do not consider this outcome to be probable. While the ultimate resolution of litigation is inherently uncertain, we believe our assessment reflects the most likely outcome based on the present facts and circumstances.

**24. Commitments and contingencies (Continued)**

In parallel with the C&P Policy claim, in 2023 and 2024 AerCap Ireland and certain affiliates of AerCap Ireland commenced claims in the Commercial Court in London, England against various Russian insurers under the Russian airlines' insurance policies (the "Operator Insurance Policies") and against various reinsurers under reinsurance policies of the Russian airlines' insurance policies (the "Operator Reinsurance Policies") in respect of the aircraft and engines formerly leased to Russian airlines at the time of Russia's invasion of Ukraine (the "Operator Reinsurance Proceedings"). As of March 31, 2026, the claims of AerCap Ireland and its affiliates against the relevant reinsurers in the Operator Reinsurance Proceedings were for an aggregate amount of approximately $1.1 billion plus interest, before allowances are made for any potential reductions arising from the June 2025 Judgment, the share of the limits eventually available to AerCap Ireland and its affiliates under the respective Operator Reinsurance Policies and any sums to which the relevant insurers under the C&P Policy may be entitled pursuant to subrogated or other rights. The Operator Reinsurance Proceedings are currently scheduled for a trial starting in October 2026.

We intend to continue to vigorously pursue our claims under the Operator Reinsurance Proceedings. However, the collection, timing and amount of any potential recoveries are uncertain and we have not recognized any claim receivables as of March 31, 2026, in respect of these Operator Reinsurance Proceedings.

***VASP litigation***

We are party to a group of related cases arising from the leasing of 13 aircraft and three spare engines to Viação Aerea de São Paulo ("VASP"), a Brazilian airline. Following VASP's defaults on its lease obligations in 1992, we repossessed our aircraft and engines. VASP challenged this and, in 1996, the Appellate Court of the State of São Paulo ("TJSP") ruled that the aircraft and engines should be returned or that VASP could recover proven damages arising from the repossession. Since then, we have defended this case in the Brazilian courts through various motions and appeals. In 2017, a Brazilian court decided that VASP had suffered no damages as a result of the contested repossession of our equipment. VASP's subsequent appeals have been denied to date and we believe, and have been advised, that it is not probable that VASP will ultimately be able to recover damages from us even if VASP prevailed 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.

**25. 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 March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, our derivative portfolio consisted of interest rate derivatives. 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. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held investments at fair value of $12 million and $49 million, respectively. The valuation of our investments were primarily classified as Level 1 as of March 31, 2026. The valuation of our investments were classified as Level 1 and Level 3 as of December 31, 2025. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or during the year ended December 31, 2025.

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

We measure the fair value of our flight equipment and certain definite-lived intangible assets 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 our flight equipment and certain definite-lived intangible assets are described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026.

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

***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 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 flight equipment's estimated holding period in its highest and best use, and a contractual or estimated disposition value.

**Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)**

**(U.S. Dollars in thousands or as otherwise stated, except share and per share data)**

**25. Fair value measurements (Continued)**

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 flight equipment type, age, and the airframe and engine configuration of the flight equipment. The projected non-contractual lease cash flows are applied to follow-on lease terms, which are estimated based on the age of the flight equipment at the time of re-lease and are assumed through the estimated holding period of the flight equipment. 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 disassembly of flight equipment for the sale of its parts ("part-out") of individual flight equipment 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 flight equipment type. In situations where the flight equipment 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 flight equipment type and incorporates assumptions market participants would use regarding the likely debt and equity financing components, and the required returns of those financing components.

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

**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).

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we held investments at fair value of $12 million and $49 million, respectively. There were no transfers between fair value hierarchy levels during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or during the year ended December 31, 2025.

All of our financial instruments are carried at amortized cost, other than our derivatives and investments which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

*Aircraft portfolio*

As of March 31, 2026, we owned 1,473 aircraft and managed 138 aircraft. As of March 31, 2026, we had commitments to purchase 383 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2034. As of March 31, 2026, the average age of our owned passenger aircraft fleet, weighted by net book value, was 7.4 years. As of March 31, 2026, 1,430 of our 1,473 owned aircraft were on lease and 43 aircraft were off-lease. As of April 24, 2026, of the 43 aircraft, eight were re-leased or under commitments for re-lease, 15 aircraft were designated for sale or part-out, 16 aircraft were being marketed for re-lease and four aircraft were sold. The aircraft which were designated for sale or part-out or marketed for re-lease represented less than 2% of the aggregate net book value of our fleet. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our owned aircraft utilization rate was 98%, calculated based on the number of days each aircraft was on lease, weighted by the net book value of the aircraft. Less than 1% of our owned aircraft were undergoing or designated for cargo conversion during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and were therefore not calculated as utilized.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we had the following activity related to aircraft:

---

***Basic lease rents.*** The increase in basic lease rents of $33 million, or 2%, was attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the acquisition of assets between January 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026, with an aggregate net book value of $6.5 billion on their respective acquisition dates, as well as the entry into service of our converted Boeing 777-300ER freighters, which commenced in September 2025, collectively resulting in an increase in basic lease rents of $119 million;

*partially offset by*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* the sale of assets between January 1, 2025 and March 31, 2026 with an aggregate net book value of $3.1 billion on their respective sale dates, resulting in a decrease in basic lease rents of $62 million; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*•* a decrease in basic lease rents of $24 million primarily due to redeliveries and lease terminations as well as lease extensions at lower rates. The accounting for extensions requires the remaining rental payments to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the original lease plus any extension period.

------

***Maintenance rents and other receipts.*** The increase in maintenance rents and other receipts of $44 million, or 30%, was attributable to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• an increase of $50 million in regular maintenance rents, primarily due to higher EOL compensation and other receipts;

*partially offset by*

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• a decrease of $6 million in maintenance rents and other receipts from lease terminations and restructurings.

***Net gain on sale of assets.*** The increase in net gain on sale of assets of $114 million was primarily due to the volume and composition of asset sales. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we sold 41 assets for sale proceeds of $1.5 billion and during the three months ended March 31, 2025, we sold 35 assets for sale proceeds of $683 million.

***Other income.*** The decrease in other income of $26 million was primarily due to lower proceeds from unsecured claims during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***Depreciation and amortization.*** The decrease in depreciation and amortization of $21 million, or 3%, was primarily due to a lower average lease assets balance and changes in the estimated useful lives and residual values of individual assets during the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***Asset impairment.*** For the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025, we recognized asset impairment charges of $6 million and $3 million, respectively, related to lease terminations and sales transactions which were fully offset by related maintenance revenue.

***Interest expense.*** The decrease in interest expense of $36 million, or 7%, was primarily attributable to a decrease in the average outstanding debt balance from $46.2 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2025, to $43.8 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as well as a decrease in interest expense attributable to mark-to-market movement on interest rate derivatives. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a gain of $3 million related to mark-to-market movements on interest rate derivatives, compared to a loss of $5 million recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

***Leasing expenses.*** The increase in leasing expenses of $29 million, or 37%, was primarily due to $27 million of higher expenses related to lessor maintenance contributions and other leasing expenses, and $14 million of higher maintenance rights asset amortization, partially offset by $11 million of lower transition costs and default costs.

***Selling, general and administrative expenses.*** The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $13 million, or 12%, was primarily due to higher compensation-related expenses.

***Income tax expense.*** The effective tax rate was 15.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

The effective tax rate is impacted by the source and amount of earnings among our various tax jurisdictions, permanent tax differences relative to pre-tax income or loss, and certain other discrete items. Our effective tax rate in any period can be impacted by revisions to the estimated full-year rate.

***Equity in net earnings of investments accounted for under the equity method.*** The increase in equity in net earnings of investments accounted for under the equity method of $25 million was primarily driven by higher earnings from our investments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net cash provided by operating activities of $1.3 billion was the result of net income of $643 million, adjustments of non-cash items to net income of $781 million consisting primarily of depreciation, amortization, asset impairment, share-based compensation and deferred tax expense, collections of finance leases of $83 million and the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $5 million, partially offset by the classification of net gain on sale of assets of $177 million to investing activities.

***Cash flows used in investing activities.*** During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash used in investing activities of $183 million primarily consisted of cash used for the purchase of and prepayments on flight equipment and other assets of $1.5 billion, partially offset by cash provided by asset sales of $1.3 billion. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net cash used in investing activities of $2.0 billion primarily consisted of cash used for the purchase of and prepayments on flight equipment and other assets of $2.5 billion, partially offset by cash provided by asset sales of $520 million.

***Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities.*** During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our net cash used in financing activities of $1.1 billion primarily consisted of cash used for debt repayments, net of new financing proceeds and debt issuance costs of $537 million, the repurchase of shares, payments of tax withholdings on share-based compensation and dividends paid on ordinary shares of $809 million, partially offset by cash provided by maintenance and security deposits received of $199 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our net cash provided by financing activities of $535 million primarily consisted of new financing proceeds, net of cash used for debt repayments, debt issuance and extinguishment costs, of $880 million and net cash provided by maintenance payments and security deposits received of $223 million, partially offset by cash used for the repurchase of shares, payments of tax withholdings on share-based compensation and dividends paid on ordinary shares of $568 million.

We have significant capital requirements, including making pre-delivery payments and paying the balance of the purchase price for flight equipment on delivery. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we entered into agreements for the purchase of 110 new A320neo Family aircraft, including the exercise of previously agreed options, with deliveries scheduled from 2028 to 2034. As of March 31, 2026, we had commitments to purchase 383 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2034. We also had commitments to purchase 15 engines and 12 helicopters through 2027.

As of March 31, 2026, our cash balance was $1.6 billion, including unrestricted cash of $1.5 billion, and we had $11.1 billion of undrawn lines of credit available under our revolving credit facilities and term loan facilities. As of March 31, 2026, our total available liquidity, including undrawn lines of credit, unrestricted cash, cash flows from estimated asset sales and other sources of funding, was $15 billion and, including estimated operating cash flows for the next 12 months, our total sources of liquidity were $21 billion. As of March 31, 2026, our total sources of liquidity were sufficient to operate our business and cover approximately 2.0x of our debt maturities and contracted capital requirements for the next 12 months. As of March 31, 2026, the principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness, which excludes debt issuance costs, debt discounts and debt premium of $245 million, totaled $43.3 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. Please refer to "Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)— Note 15—*Debt*."

------

In order to satisfy our contractual purchase obligations, we expect to source new debt financing 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 flight equipment, through internally generated cash flows, the incurrence of new debt, the refinancing of existing debt and other capital-raising initiatives.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, our average cost of debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements on our interest rate derivatives, debt issuance fees, upfront fees and other impacts, was 4.1%. As of March 31, 2026, our adjusted debt to equity ratio was 2.1 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 and metrics" for further information on our average cost of debt and reconciliations of adjusted debt and adjusted equity to the most closely related U.S. GAAP measures as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

**Contractual obligations**

Our estimated future obligations as of March 31, 2026 include both current and long-term obligations. Our contractual obligations consist of principal and interest payments on debt, executed purchase agreements to purchase flight equipment 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.

**Non-GAAP measures and metrics**

The following are definitions of our non-GAAP measures and metrics used in this report and a reconciliation of such measures to the most closely related U.S. GAAP measures for the three months ended March 31, 2026. We believe these measures and metrics may further assist investors in their understanding of our performance and the changes and trends related to our earnings. These measures and metrics should not be viewed in isolation and should only be used in conjunction with and as a supplement to our U.S. GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures and metrics are not uniformly defined by all companies, including those in our industry, and so this additional information may not be comparable with similarly-titled measures, metrics and disclosures by other companies.

***Adjusted debt-to-equity ratio***

This measure is the ratio obtained by dividing adjusted debt by adjusted equity. Adjusted debt represents 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 guarantee obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor are limited (i) to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by a Subsidiary Guarantor (after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of all other AGAT/AICDC Guarantors in respect of the obligations under their respective guarantees) without rendering the guarantee, as it relates to such Subsidiary Guarantor, voidable under applicable fraudulent conveyance or transfer laws, and (ii) as necessary to recognize certain defenses generally available to guarantors, including voidable preference, financial assistance, corporate purpose, capital maintenance or similar laws, regulations or defenses affecting the rights of creditors generally or other considerations under applicable law. In addition, given that some of the AGAT/AICDC Guarantors are Irish and Dutch companies, it may be more difficult for holders of the AGAT/AICDC Notes to obtain or enforce judgments against such guarantors.

AICDC and certain AGAT/AICDC Guarantors are holding companies and therefore hold equity interests in directly held subsidiaries, amongst having other trading activities. As a result, AICDC and certain AGAT/AICDC Guarantors could be dependent on dividends and other payments from their subsidiaries to generate the funds necessary to meet their outstanding debt service and other obligations, and such dividends or other payments will in turn depend on factors, such as their subsidiaries' earnings, covenants in instruments governing their subsidiaries' indebtedness, other contractual restrictions and applicable laws (including local law restricting payments of dividends).

**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 and U.S. Treasury rate lock 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 12—*Derivative financial instruments,*" "Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 15—*Debt*" and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026, 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-rate 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 and interest rate swaps 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 March 31, 2026. 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 Term SOFR, 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.

---

The variable benchmark interest rates associated with these instruments are Term SOFR.

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.

------

**Foreign currency risk and foreign operations**

Our functional currency is U.S. dollars. The functional currency for domestic and substantially all foreign operations is the U.S. dollar. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are not significant to the Company's operations. Foreign exchange risk arises from our and our lessees' operations in multiple jurisdictions. All of our aircraft and engine purchase agreements are negotiated in U.S. dollars, we currently 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 and helicopter purchase agreements 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 U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies increases our lease revenue received from foreign currency-denominated leases and our expenses paid in foreign currencies. An increase in the U.S. dollar in relation to foreign currencies decreases 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**

After a sustained period of relatively low inflation rates, rates of inflation increased significantly during 2022 and 2023, reaching recent historical highs in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other countries, before stabilizing during 2024 and 2025. Ongoing geopolitical instability, including the current conflict in the Middle East, has contributed to increased volatility in global energy, fuel and commodity markets and may place renewed upward pressure on inflation levels. Additionally, the increases in tariffs by the United States in the last year, the prospect of potential additional tariffs and retaliatory tariffs and the trade agreements between the United States and certain trading partners in recent months may also lead to higher inflation in the future. The conflict in the Middle East could further disrupt global supply chains, shipping routes and energy production or transportation, which could exacerbate inflationary pressures.

High rates of inflation may have a number of adverse effects on our business. In particular, higher fuel and energy costs resulting from geopolitical conflict may increase operating costs for our assets and for our lessees, which could have an adverse effect on their financial condition or cash flows and, as a result, their ability to perform their obligations under our leases. Inflation may increase the costs of goods, services and labor used in our operations, thereby increasing our expenses. To the extent that we derive our income from leases with fixed rates of payment, high rates of inflation will cause a greater decrease in the value of those payments than had the rates of inflation remained lower. Because our leases are generally multi-year, there may be a lag in our ability to adjust the lease rates for flight equipment accordingly. Our suppliers and lessees may also be subject to material adverse effects as a result of high rates of inflation, including as a result of the impact on their financial conditions, changes in demand patterns, price volatility, and supply chain disruption.

**Item 1A. Risk Factors** 

The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2026. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since those reported in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2025.

***Military conflict and resulting geopolitical instability in the Middle East could adversely affect our customers, our operations, and our financial performance.***

Geopolitical instability in the Middle East has intensified following coordinated military actions by the United States and Israel against Iran commencing on February 28, 2026, and subsequent retaliatory activity by Iran across the region. These developments have disrupted regional airspace, global shipping routes and energy flows, including through the Strait of Hormuz, a key transit point for oil and gas shipments. The resulting volatility in energy prices and increases in operational costs, as well as potential fuel shortages, have created heightened uncertainty for airlines and for the overall economic environment.

These conditions may adversely affect our airline customers by increasing their operating costs, reducing passenger demand, and limiting capacity deployment. These pressures may weaken customers' financial condition and credit profiles, increasing the likelihood of lease restructurings, payment delays, or defaults. The evolving situation may also create additional operational and market uncertainties that could affect our airline customers' financial condition and cash flows and, consequently, their ability to meet lease obligations.

If the conflict escalates or persists, we could experience reduced demand for our flight equipment, pressure on lease rates, changes in trading activity, delivery delays, and revisions to residual value expectations. We could also experience higher financing and insurance costs. Any of these factors, individually or collectively, could have a material and adverse effect on our financial condition, cash flows, liquidity and results of operations. Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, "Item 3. Key Information—Risk Factors".

**Item 5. Other Information**

***Dividend***

In connection with AerCap's dividend policy, in April 2026, AerCap's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share, with a payment date of June 4, 2026, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 13, 2026.

The dividend will be subject to Irish dividend withholding tax at a current statutory rate of 25% unless an exemption applies. Pursuant to a confirmation obtained from the Irish Revenue Commissioners, U.S. resident shareholders who hold their shares through the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") should be exempt from Irish dividend withholding tax provided the address of the beneficial owner of the shares in the records of their broker, or otherwise provided to AerCap's qualifying intermediary, is in the United States. The confirmation from the Irish Revenue Commissioners is operative for a period of five years until July 25, 2029. Individuals and certain corporate shareholders that are tax resident in a country (other than Ireland) which is a member of the European Union or a country with which Ireland has a double tax treaty in effect (which includes the United States) may be exempt from Irish dividend withholding tax if they provide a relevant declaration as prescribed by the Irish Revenue Commissioners establishing their exemption from Irish dividend withholding tax provided such corporate shareholder is not itself controlled by Irish tax residents.

In addition, the dividend will be subject to Dutch dividend withholding tax (currently at a rate of 15%) for persons who are resident, or deemed to be resident, in the Netherlands ("Dutch resident holders"). To confirm that a shareholder is not a Dutch resident holder, such shareholder must provide an Irish dividend withholding tax relevant declaration as prescribed by the Irish Revenue Commissioners representing that the shareholder is not a Dutch resident holder except that, pursuant to the confirmation from the Irish Revenue Commissioners referred to above, U.S. resident shareholders who hold their shares through the DTC and have a U.S. address of the beneficial owner of the shares in the records of their broker, or that has otherwise been provided to AerCap's qualifying intermediary, need not provide this declaration form. AerCap intends to presume that shareholders who do not comply with the above requirements are Dutch resident holders.

For a further discussion of Irish and Dutch dividend withholding taxes, see "Irish tax considerations—Dividend withholding tax" and "Dutch withholding tax considerations" in Item 10 of AerCap's Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 12, 2026. The summary provided therein is not exhaustive and shareholders should consult their own tax advisor to determine the Irish and Dutch tax consequences of the dividend in their particular circumstances.

**Notes Regarding Financial Information Presented in This Press Release**

The financial information presented in this press release is not audited.

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.

The following are definitions of non-GAAP measures and metrics used in this press release. We believe these measures and metrics may further assist investors in their understanding of our performance. These measures and metrics should not be viewed in isolation and should only be used in conjunction with and as a supplement to our U.S. GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures and metrics are not uniformly defined by all companies, including those in our industry, and so this additional information may not be comparable with similarly-titled measures and metrics and disclosures by other companies.

*Adjusted net income / earnings per share, adjusted return on equity and adjusted earnings per share guidance* 

Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding the after-tax impact of the amortization of maintenance rights and lease premium assets recognized under purchase accounting. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average of our diluted ordinary shares outstanding. Adjusted return on equity is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by average shareholders' equity. Given the relative significance of these items during 2026, we have chosen to present this measure in order to assist investors in their understanding of the changes and trends related to our earnings.

*Adjusted debt/equity ratio*

This measure is the ratio obtained by dividing adjusted debt by adjusted equity.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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.

*Adjusted net interest margin, annualized net spread, annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization and average cost of debt*

Adjusted net interest margin is calculated as the difference between basic lease rents, excluding the impact of the amortization of lease premium/deficiency recognized under purchase accounting, and interest expense, excluding the impact of the mark-to-market of interest rate derivatives. Annualized net spread is adjusted net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average lease assets. Annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization is adjusted net interest margin less depreciation and amortization, expressed as a percentage of average lease assets.

Average cost of debt is calculated as interest expense, excluding mark-to-market on interest rate derivatives, debt issuance costs, upfront fees and other impacts, divided by average debt balance.
