**<u>Financial Overview</u>**

***Fourth Quarter 2025 vs. Fourth Quarter 2024***

Our total rental of flight equipment revenue for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased by approximately 6%, to $680 million, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the continued growth of our fleet by net book value and an increase in our portfolio lease yield.

Our gain on aircraft sales and trading and other income for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased by 90%, to $141 million, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2024, driven by increased sales activity. We recorded $132 million in gains from the sale of 23 aircraft for the three months ended December 31, 2025, compared to $65 million in gains from the sale of 14 aircraft and $3 million from one sales-type lease for the three months ended December 31, 2024.

Our net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2025 increased to $170 million, or $1.51 per diluted share, from $93 million, or $0.83 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Net income attributable to common stockholders increased due to higher revenues, as discussed above, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense due to the growth of our fleet by net book value and $9.9 million in costs associated with the merger.

Adjusted net income before income taxes during the three months ended December 31, 2025 was $247 million, or $2.20 per adjusted diluted share, as compared to $150 million, or $1.34 per adjusted diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted net income before income taxes increased due to higher revenues partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense, as discussed above.

***Full Year 2025 vs. Full Year 2024***

Our total rental of flight equipment revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by 8%, to $2.7 billion, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase is primarily due to the continued growth of our fleet by net book value and an increase in our portfolio lease yield.

<sup>1</sup> Aircraft in our sales pipeline is as of December 31, 2025, and includes letters of intent and sale agreements signed through February 12, 2026.

------

Our aircraft sales, trading and other revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by 35%, to $331 million, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024, driven by increased sales activity. We recorded $244 million in gains from the sale of 48 aircraft and $8 million from one sales-type lease, compared to $170 million in gains from the sale of 39 aircraft and $17 million from four sales-type leases for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Our net income attributable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2025, was $1.0 billion, or $9.29 per diluted share, as compared to $372 million, or $3.33 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net income attributable to common stockholders increased primarily due to a net benefit of $736 million from the settlement of insurance claims with certain insurers related to aircraft detained in Russia, and higher revenues, as discussed above, partially offset by increases in depreciation expense due to the growth of our fleet, interest expense due to higher average cost of funds throughout the year, $18.8 million compensation expense related to the retirement of our Chairman from his executive role, $18.5 million in costs associated with the merger and $9.5 million in costs associated with litigation involving our Russian fleet.

Adjusted net income before income taxes during the year ended December 31, 2025, was $718.4 million, or $6.40 per adjusted diluted share, as compared to $574.2 million, or $5.13 per adjusted diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2024. Adjusted net income before income taxes increased primarily due to higher revenues partially offset by increases in depreciation expense and interest expense, as discussed above.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those statements appear in a number of places in this press release and include statements regarding, among other matters, the proposed acquisition (the "Merger") of Air Lease pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 1, 2025, including any statements regarding the expected closing of the Merger, the ability to complete the Merger, and the expected benefits of the proposed Merger, the state of the airline industry, our ability to access the capital and debt markets (including any restrictions imposed by the proposed Merger), aircraft and engine delivery delays and manufacturing flaws, our aircraft sales pipeline and expectations, changes in inflation and interest rates and other macroeconomic conditions and other factors affecting our financial condition or results of operations. Words such as "can," "could," "may," "predicts," "potential," "will," "projects," "continuing," "ongoing," "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," "estimates" and "should," and variations of these words and similar expressions, are used in many cases to identify these forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results to vary materially from our future results, performance or achievements, or those of our industry, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the inability to complete the Merger because of the failure to receive, on a timely basis or subject to conditions that are not anticipated, the required approvals by governmental or regulatory agencies in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that the pendency and uncertainty of the Merger disrupts our business and current plans and operations and potential difficulties in employee retention as a result;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of the announcement of the Merger on our business relationships, operating results and business generally;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the restrictions or prohibitions under certain covenants in the merger agreement during the pendency of the Merger that may impact our ability to pursue certain business opportunities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that our Class A common stock price may decline if the Merger is not consummated;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the risk that the Merger may involve unexpected costs, liabilities or delays, or the amount of costs, fees, expenses and charges relating to the Merger may be significant;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to obtain additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, to acquire aircraft from our orderbook, service our debt obligations and refinance maturing debt obligations, including as a result of the restrictions under the merger agreement on our ability to incur additional debt, which may negatively impact our liquidity and ability to maintain our investment grade credit ratings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increases in our cost of borrowing, decreases in our credit ratings or changes in interest rates;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• our inability to generate sufficient returns on our aircraft investments through strategic aircraft acquisitions and profitable leasing;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure of an aircraft or engine manufacturer to meet its contractual obligations to us, including or as a result of labor strikes, aviation supply chain constraints, manufacturing flaws, or technical or other difficulties with aircraft or engines before or after delivery;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obsolescence of, or changes in overall demand for, our aircraft;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the value of, and lease rates for, our aircraft, including as a result of aircraft oversupply, manufacturer production levels, our lessees' failure to maintain our aircraft, inflation, and other factors outside of our control;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• impaired financial condition and liquidity of our lessees, including due to lessee defaults and reorganizations, bankruptcies or similar proceedings;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased competition from other aircraft lessors;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the failure by our lessees to adequately insure our aircraft or fulfill their contractual indemnity obligations to us, or the failure of such insurers to fulfill their contractual obligations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• increased tariffs and other restrictions on trade;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in the regulatory environment, including changes in tax laws and environmental regulations;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• other events affecting our business or the business of our lessees and aircraft manufacturers or their suppliers that are beyond our or their control, such as the threat or realization of epidemic diseases, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war or armed hostilities between countries or non-state actors; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• any additional factors discussed under "Part I — Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and other Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filings, including future SEC filings.

All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations. You are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not intend and undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking information to reflect actual results or events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

**(In thousands, except share, per share amounts and percentages)**

pre-tax return on common equity (defined as adjusted net income before income taxes divided by average common stockholders' equity) are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net income attributable to common stockholders, pre-tax margin, earnings per share, diluted earnings per share and pre-tax return on common equity, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity are presented as supplemental disclosure because management believes they provide useful information on our earnings from ongoing operations.

Management and our board of directors use adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance. Management believes these measures are helpful in evaluating the operating performance of our ongoing operations and identifying trends in our performance, because they remove the effects of certain non-cash items, one-time or non-recurring items that are not expected to continue in the future and certain other items. Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity, however, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity do not reflect our cash expenditures or changes in our cash requirements for our working capital needs. In addition, our calculation of adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity may differ from the adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax return on common equity or analogous calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure.

The following table shows the reconciliation of the numerator for adjusted pre-tax margin (in thousands, except percentages):
