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 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, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 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.

2. Basis of presentation (Continued)

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, notes receivables, deferred tax assets, income tax accruals and maintenance liabilities. 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 flight equipment.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies

Recent accounting standards adopted during the year ended December 31, 2022:

Reference Rate Reform

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“Topic 848”). Topic 848 provided temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to reduce the financial reporting burden in light of the market transition from London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”) and other reference interest rates to alternative reference rates. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we adopted Topic 848 (effective October 1, 2022). The adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

We have certain debt instruments, derivative contracts, and leases that reference LIBOR. LIBOR is a benchmark interest rate calculated based on information contributed by a panel of large international banks. LIBOR’s administrator announced in March 2021 that it intends to stop publishing the Overnight, one-month, three-month, six-month and 12-month U.S. dollar LIBOR settings after June 30, 2023. In anticipation of that cessation, we commenced the transition of our LIBOR-based instruments, contracts and leases to Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR” or “Term SOFR”) in October 2022, and expect to conclude the transition by September 30, 2023.

Topic 848 provides several optional expedients that permit an entity not to apply otherwise applicable U.S. GAAP to contracts or transactions modified or otherwise affected due to reference rate reform, provided the conditions for the respective expedients are met. Before we commenced the transition of these instruments, contracts and leases to reference SOFR instead of LIBOR, we applied optional expedients under Topic 848. When we modified those agreements, we applied optional expedients that allowed us to (a) account for the contract modifications as continuations of the existing contracts without further accounting assessment that might otherwise be required and (b) continue cash flow hedging relationships without dedesignation when changes are made to hedge documentation, contractual terms of the hedging instrument or forecasted transaction, hedged risk, and effectiveness assessment method.

As of June 30, 2023, we had $5.8 billion of floating rate debt outstanding linked to a SOFR index, and $3.1 billion of floating rate debt outstanding linked to three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR. As of June 30, 2023, we had approximately $3.1 billion notional amount of floating rate derivatives outstanding linked to a SOFR index and $3.1 billion notional amount of floating rate derivatives outstanding linked to either one-month or three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extends the sunset date of Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024, after which entities will no longer be permitted to apply the optional expedients in Topic 848. The adoption of ASU 2022-06, which was effective upon issuance, has not and is not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

11. 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, treasury locks, options and forward contracts.

As of June 30, 2023, we had interest rate caps and swaps outstanding, with underlying variable benchmark interest rates ranging from Term SOFR to one to three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, as applicable.

Since October 2022, we have transitioned our longer-dated derivative instruments from LIBOR to Term SOFR, and expect to conclude the transition by September 30, 2023. We applied an optional expedient under Topic 848 that allowed us to account for the contract modifications as a continuation of the existing contracts, and to continue cash flow hedging relationships without dedesignation.

Some of our agreements with derivative counterparties require a two-way cash collateralization of derivative fair values. As of June 30, 2023, and December 31, 2022, we had cash collateral of $3.7 million and $4.6 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, 2023 or December 31, 2022.

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.

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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

14. 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, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023. The material changes to our indebtedness since the filing of that report, except for scheduled repayments, are described below.

Revolving credit facilities

In March 2014, AICDC entered into a senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Citi Revolver I”) which was subsequently upsized and amended. In February 2023, AICDC extended the Citi Revolver I, extending its maturity to February 2027.

In March 2021, AerCap and AICDC entered into a $4.35 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Citi Revolver II”). In 2021, the Citi Revolver I was amended such that the terms of both the Citi Revolver I and the Citi Revolver II are the same (the “Citi Revolvers”). In February 2023, the terms of the Citi Revolvers were amended to replace LIBOR with Term SOFR as the relevant reference rate.

Secured portfolio loans

In March 2023, we entered into a $900 million secured facility agreement with a syndicate of lenders and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, as administrative agent, and a maturity of November 29, 2030.

AerCap Trust and AICDC Notes

In February 2023, AerCap Trust and AICDC completed the redemption of all $600 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of their 4.125% Senior Notes due 2023.

In June 2023, AerCap Trust and AICDC co-issued $1 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due 2028.

In June 2023, AerCap Trust and AICDC redeemed $1 billion aggregate principal amount of their then-outstanding $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.50% Senior Notes due 2023.

15. Income taxes

Our effective tax rate was 14.1% and 14.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively and 14.0% and 11.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $341 million of income tax benefit due to the recognition of net charges related to the Ukraine Conflict. See Note 18—Net charges related to Ukraine Conflict. 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.

18. Net charges related to Ukraine Conflict

On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine and has since been engaged in a broad military conflict with Ukraine (the “Ukraine Conflict”). In response to the Ukraine Conflict and ongoing related hostilities, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and other countries have imposed broad, far-reaching sanctions against Russia, certain Russian persons and certain activities involving Russia or Russian persons. These sanctions include prohibitions regarding the supply of aircraft and aircraft components to Russian persons or for use in Russia (the “Sanctions”).

In compliance with all applicable sanctions in March 2022, we terminated the leasing of all of our aircraft and engines with Russian airlines. These terminations have resulted in reduced revenues and operating cash flows.

The Ukraine Conflict, the Sanctions and the actions of our former Russian lessees and the Russian government together represent an unusual and infrequent event and therefore the related net charges are classified separately on our Condensed Consolidated Income Statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we recognized a pre-tax net charge of $2.7 billion to our earnings, comprised of write-offs and impairments of flight equipment, which were partially offset by the derecognition of lease-related assets and liabilities (including maintenance rights and lease premium intangible assets, maintenance liabilities, security deposits and other balances) and the collection of letter of credit proceeds. We recognized a total loss write-off with respect to our assets that remain in Russia and Ukraine, and impairment losses with respect to the assets we have recovered from Russian and Ukrainian airlines. The impairments recognized with respect to assets recovered from Russian and Ukrainian airlines were based on the expected commercial strategy and corresponding cash flow estimates for each asset.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized recoveries of $14 million and $28 million respectively, which primarily consisted of proceeds from letters of credit, other collateral receipts and recoveries in respect of a small number of engines that were on aircraft leased to Russian airlines prior to the Ukraine Conflict and had been located outside of Russia since the start of the Ukraine Conflict.


	Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,

	(U.S. Dollars in millions)
(Recoveries) write-offs and impairments of flight equipment	$	(13)	—	$	(15)	$	3,176

Letters of credit receipts and other collections	(1)		—	(13)		(210)
Net (recoveries) charges related to Ukraine Conflict	$	(14)	—	$	(28)	$	2,729

We had letters of credit related to our aircraft and engines leased to Russian airlines as of February 24, 2022 of approximately $260 million, all confirmed by financial institutions in Western Europe. We presented requests for payment to all these institutions. We have received all payments related to these letters of credit.

Our lessees are required to provide insurance coverage with respect to leased aircraft and we are named as insureds under those policies in the event of a total loss of an aircraft or engine. We also purchase contingent and possessed insurance (“C&P Policy”) which provides us with coverage when our flight equipment is not subject to a lease or where a lessee’s policy fails to indemnify us. In March 2022, we submitted an insurance claim for approximately $3.5 billion under our C&P Policy with respect to 135 aircraft and 14 engines which had been on lease to Russian airlines at the time of the invasion of Ukraine, the vast majority of which remain in Russia. In June 2022, we commenced legal proceedings in London, England to recover up to $3.5 billion in connection with our previously submitted claim under the C&P Policy. Refer to Note 25—Commitments and Contingencies for further details.

18. Net charges related to Ukraine Conflict (Continued)

In parallel, during the year ended December 31, 2022, we submitted claims as an additional insured under the Russian airlines’ insurance policies. Our efforts to recover from the airlines’ Russian insurers and their reinsurers continue and in June 2023, we commenced legal proceedings in London, England against various reinsurers of the Russian airlines’ insurance policies in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.1 billion with respect to the aircraft and engines lost in Russia. Refer to Note 25—Commitments and Contingencies for further details.

The collection, timing and amount of any potential recoveries under our C&P Policy and under the airlines’ insurance and reinsurance policies are uncertain. We have not recognized any claim receivables in respect of our claims under our C&P Policy and under the Russian airlines’ insurance and reinsurance policies as of June 30, 2023.

In November 2022, we submitted an insurance claim under a Ukrainian airline’s insurance and reinsurance policies for approximately $97 million for the loss of one aircraft which remains in Ukraine. In January 2023, we submitted an insurance claim under our C&P Policy for the same aircraft and also submitted an insurance claim under our C&P Policy for our second aircraft which remains in Ukraine. The value of the two claims under our C&P Policy for the two aircraft which remain in Ukraine is approximately $100 million. We intend to continue to vigorously pursue all insurance claims in respect of the two aircraft which remain in Ukraine. However, the collection, timing and amount of any potential recoveries are uncertain and we have not recognized any claim receivables as of June 30, 2023.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized impairment charges of $2.1 million and $36.4 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized impairment charges of $11.8 million and $14.2 million, respectively. For all periods mentioned, the impairment charges were primarily related to lease terminations or sales transactions.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the impairment charges were partially offset by maintenance revenue recognized when we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the impairment charges were largely offset by maintenance revenue recognized when we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we also recognized write-offs and impairments of flight equipment of $3.2 billion related to the Ukraine Conflict. Please refer to Note 18—Net charges related to Ukraine Conflict.

20. Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023								2022
	Investment in finance leases		Notes receivable		Loans receivable		Total		Total

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we decreased our credit provision by $1.0 million and recognized write-offs charged against the allowance of $36.9 million with respect to one of our lessees. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we increased our credit provision, classified in Net charges related to Ukraine Conflict by $75.8 million, primarily reflecting the losses due to the Ukraine Conflict and a specific provision with respect to one of our lessees.

22. 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 4,233,182 and 5,032,769 shares of unvested restricted stock as of June 30, 2023 and 2022, 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 28,890 and nil for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and 416,567 for the three months ended June 30, 2022. Due to the reported loss for the six months ended June 30, 2022, basic EPS is not adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities. The number of shares under our equity compensation plans which could dilute EPS in the future was 3,253,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

The computation of basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022
Net income (loss) for the computation of basic EPS	$	492,894	$	339,826	$	924,999	$	(1,661,004)
Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding—basic	231,318,582		240,367,450		235,321,261		240,008,449
Basic EPS	$	2.13	$	1.41	$	3.93	$	(6.92)

Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding—diluted	232,866,512		242,264,561		237,204,222		240,008,449
Diluted EPS	$	2.12	$	1.40	$	3.90	$	(6.92)

The computations of ordinary shares outstanding, excluding shares of unvested restricted stock, as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:


	June 30, 2023	December 31, 2022
	Number of ordinary shares
Ordinary shares issued	250,347,345	250,347,345

23. 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 six months ended June 30, 2023, 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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 14—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 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. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we completed the sale of our variable interests in certain entities to our joint venture partner. As of June 30, 2023, we had no remaining subordinated debt issued by VIEs.

AerFunding

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

As of June 30, 2023, AerFunding had $1.1 billion outstanding under a secured revolving credit facility and $2.0 billion of AerFunding Class E-1 Notes outstanding due to us.

23. 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Carrying value of debt and equity investments	$	116,166	$	118,403

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.

24. Related party transactions

AerCap completed the acquisition of GE Capital Aviation Services (“GECAS”) from GE (“the GECAS Transaction”) on November 1, 2021 (the “Closing Date”). Immediately following the completion of the GECAS Transaction, GE held approximately 46% of AerCap’s issued and outstanding ordinary shares. Consequently, GE became a related party on the Closing Date of the GECAS Transaction. We may purchase, sell or lease flight equipment from/to GE.

On March 13, 2023, we announced the completion of an underwritten secondary offering (the “Secondary Offering”) of 23,000,000 AerCap ordinary shares by GE at a price to the public of $58.50 per ordinary share, and completed the repurchase of 8,788,890 of our ordinary shares from GE for $500 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased an aggregate of 1,512,926 of our ordinary shares from GE at an average price of $58.96 per ordinary share. Refer to Note 16—Equity for further details.

As of June 30, 2023, GE held approximately 33.6% of our issued and outstanding ordinary shares.

The following table presents amounts recognized in respect of our purchases, sales and leasing of flight equipment from/to GE for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022		2023		2022

Purchases from GE	$	66	$	12	$	119	$	16
Sales to GE	10		11		24		11
Rental income from engines on lease to GE	39		35		79		67

As of June 30, 2023, AerCap had an outstanding payable balance of $14 million and a receivable balance of $3 million with GE. As of December 31, 2022, AerCap had an outstanding payable balance of $9 million with GE.

Equity Method Investments

SES

SES is a 50% joint venture and is considered a related party. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized lease rental income from SES of $34 million and $62 million, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized lease rental income from SES of $18 million and $35 million, respectively.

Other related parties

25. Commitments and contingencies

Flight equipment on order

As of June 30, 2023, we had commitments to purchase 399 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2028. These commitments are based upon purchase agreements with Boeing, 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. As of June 30, 2023, we also had commitments to purchase 11 engines and 16 new helicopters for delivery through 2025.

Prepayments on flight equipment include prepayments of our forward order flight equipment and other balances held by the flight equipment manufacturers. Movements in prepayments on flight equipment during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022

25. Commitments and contingencies (Continued)

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

During the year ended December 31, 2022, we submitted an insurance claim for approximately $3.5 billion under our contingent and possessed insurance policy (the “C&P Policy”) with respect to 135 aircraft and 14 engines which had been on lease to Russian airlines at the time of the invasion of Ukraine, the vast majority of which remain in Russia.

On June 9, 2022, AerCap Ireland Limited (“AerCap Ireland”) (as representative claimant on its own behalf and on behalf of all other insureds under the C&P Policy) commenced a claim in the Commercial Court in London, England (i) in the amount of approximately $3.5 billion against AIG Europe S.A. (on its own behalf and on behalf of all underwriters subscribing to the Aircraft Hull and Spares and Equipment Coverage section of the C&P Policy) and (ii) in the alternative, in the amount of $1.2 billion against Lloyds Insurance Company S.A. (on its own behalf and on behalf of all underwriters subscribing to the Aviation “War and Allied Perils” Coverage section of the C&P Policy), in respect of AerCap’s aircraft and engines lost in Russia. Fidelis Insurance Ireland DAC, Swiss Re International SE and Chubb European Group SE have each been joined as a defendant to the action since January 2023 and are no longer represented by AIG Europe S.A. or Lloyds Insurance Company S.A for their respective interests under the C&P Policy. The trial is scheduled to commence in October 2024.

In parallel to the C&P Policy claim, during the quarter ended June 30, 2023, AerCap Ireland and certain affiliates of AerCap Ireland commenced claims in the Commercial Court in London, England in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.1 billion against various reinsurers under reinsurances policies of the Russian airlines’ insurance policies (the “Operator Reinsurance Policies”) in respect of the aircraft and engines which remain in Russia. Reinsurers have indicated they intend to challenge the jurisdiction of the English courts and the jurisdictional hearing is currently scheduled to take place in February 2024.

We intend to continue to vigorously pursue our claims under the C&P Policy and the Operator Reinsurance Policies. However, the collection, timing and amount of any potential recoveries are uncertain and we have not recognized any claim receivables as of June 30, 2023.

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. In 1992, VASP defaulted on its lease obligations and we commenced litigation against VASP to repossess our equipment and 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. VASP appealed 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.

We have defended this case in the Brazilian courts through various motions and appeals. In 2004, the Superior Court of Justice (the “STJ”) dismissed our then-pending appeal. In 2005, we filed an extraordinary appeal with the Federal Supreme Court (the “STF”). On June 24, 2020, the STF reversed its earlier contrary rulings and granted our extraordinary appeal, ordering a new panel of the STJ to review the merits of our challenge against TJSP’s original order. VASP’s final appeal was denied in November 2022 and the case has been returned to the STJ for a ruling on the merits of our original appeal.

In 2006, VASP commenced a related proceeding to calculate the amount of alleged damages owed under the TJSP’s 1996 judgment. In 2017, the court decided that VASP had suffered no damages even if the TJSP’s 1996 judgment regarding liability were affirmed. 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 2006, we brought actions against VASP in English and Irish courts seeking damages arising from the 1992 lease defaults. These actions resulted in judgments by the English court in the aggregate amount of approximately $40 million plus interest and judgments by the Irish court in the aggregate amount of approximately $36.9 million, all in our favor. VASP had meanwhile in 2008 been adjudicated as insolvent by a Brazilian bankruptcy court, which commenced bankruptcy proceedings. We have caused the English and Irish judgment to be domesticated in Brazil and submitted them as claims in the bankruptcy proceeding. The bankruptcy court has allowed the claims in the amount of $40 million in respect of the English judgments and $24 million in respect of the Irish judgments. We have been advised that it is not probable that VASP’s bankruptcy estate will have funds to pay its creditors but our court-approved claims may be used to offset any damages that VASP might be awarded in the Brazilian courts if for any reason we are not successful in defending ourselves against VASP’s claim for damages.

Transbrasil Litigation

We are party to a group of related actions arising from the leasing of various aircraft and 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-related companies (the “AerCap Lessors”), along with other leases it had entered into with General Electric Capital Corporation (“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 the Lessors individually brought enforcement actions against Transbrasil in 2001 (GECC also 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 the Lessors brought the enforcement actions. In 2007, the trial judge ruled in favor of Transbrasil and the Lessors 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 Lessors filed special appeals before the STJ in Brazil. In October 2013, the STJ granted the special appeals filed by the GE Lessors, effectively reversing the 2010 Judgment in most respects as to all of the Lessors. Transbrasil appealed this order, but the appellate panel in November 2016 rejected Transbrasil’s appeal, preserving the 2013 reversal of the 2010 Judgment. All appeals in respect of the Transbrasil Lawsuit based on the merits of the dispute have now concluded.

However, in July 2011, while the various appeals of the 2010 Judgment were pending, 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.

In light of the STJ’s ruling in October 2013, the trial court has ordered the dismissal of the Transbrasil Provisional Enforcement Actions. The TJSP has since affirmed the dismissals of the actions seeking statutory penalties and attorneys’ fees. Lessors’ motion to clarify relating to the dismissal of the Provisional Enforcement Action with respect to the Indemnity Claim remains pending. We believe we have strong arguments to convince the court that Transbrasil suffered no material damage as a result of the defendants’ attempts to collect on the Notes.

The only matters remaining to be resolved are: (i) a motion to clarify relating to the dismissal of a lower court appeal with respect to the Indemnity Claim and (ii) a number of court-mandated legal fee assessments for (a) proofs of claim filed by the Lessors against the Transbrasil bankruptcy estate and (b) various otherwise-concluded enforcement proceedings, including the Provisional Enforcement Proceedings.

26. 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, our derivative portfolio consisted of interest rate contracts. 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held investments at fair value of $95.2 million and $59.1 million, respectively. The valuation of these investments were primarily classified as Level 1, based on quoted market price.

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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	June 30, 2023
	Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Assets
Derivative assets	$	220,597	$	—	$	220,597	$	—

26. Fair value measurements (Continued)

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, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023.

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 statement approach include the discount rate, current contractual lease cash flows, projected future non-contractual lease 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 disassembly of an aircraft for the sale of its parts (“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.

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 aircraft 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 aircraft. An increase in the discount rate would decrease the fair value measurement of the aircraft, while an increase in 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).

26. Fair value measurements (Continued)

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we held investments at fair value of $95.2 million and $59.1 million, respectively. The valuation of these investments were primarily classified as Level 1, based on quoted market price.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, loans receivable carried at amortized cost had estimated fair values of $440.8 million and $329.7 million, respectively, and were classified as Level 3.

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, notes receivable carried at amortized cost had estimated fair values of $497.3 million and $486.2 million, respectively, and were classified as Level 3.

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. The carrying amounts and fair values of our most significant financial instruments as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows:

Flight equipment portfolio

We are the global leader in aviation leasing with a portfolio consisting of 3,467 aircraft, engines (including engines owned and managed by our SES joint venture) and helicopters that were owned, on order or managed as of June 30, 2023. We provide a wide range of assets for lease, including narrowbody and widebody aircraft, regional jets, freighters, engines and helicopters. We focus on acquiring in-demand flight equipment 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 investors. We have the infrastructure, expertise and resources to execute a large number of diverse transactions in a variety of market conditions. Our teams of dedicated marketing and asset trading professionals have been successful in leasing and managing our asset portfolio. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we executed 467 aviation asset transactions.

Aircraft portfolio

As of June 30, 2023, we owned 1,552 aircraft and we managed 181 aircraft. As of June 30, 2023, we had commitments to purchase 399 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2028. As of June 30, 2023, the weighted average age of our 1,552 owned aircraft fleet, weighted by net book value, was 7.3 years. As of June 30, 2023, 1,509 of our 1,552 owned aircraft were on lease and 43 aircraft were off-lease. As of July 26, 2023, of the 43 aircraft, 22 were re-leased or under commitments for re-lease, ten aircraft were designated for sale or part-out (which represented less than 1% of the aggregate net book value of our fleet), nine aircraft were being marketed for re-lease (which represented less than 1% of the aggregate net book value of our fleet) and two aircraft were sold. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 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. Approximately 1% of our owned aircraft were undergoing or designated for cargo conversion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and were not calculated as utilized.

•the acquisition of assets between April 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, with an aggregate net book value of $6.6 billion on their respective acquisition dates, resulting in an increase in basic lease rents of $117 million; and

•an increase in basic lease rents of $23 million primarily due to lease transitions and lease restructurings, the accounting for which 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;

partially offset by

•the sale of assets between April 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 with an aggregate net book value of $2.3 billion on their respective sale dates, resulting in a decrease in basic lease rents of $40 million.

Maintenance rents and other receipts. The increase in maintenance rents and other receipts of $53 million, or 52%, was attributable to:

•an increase of $59 million in regular maintenance rents, primarily due to higher EOL compensation and other receipts;

partially offset by

•a decrease of $6 million in maintenance revenue and other receipts from lease terminations.

Net gain on sale of assets. The increase in net gain on sale of assets of $131 million was primarily due to the higher volume and composition of asset sales. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 52 assets for sale proceeds of $818 million and during the three months ended June 30, 2022, we sold 29 assets for sale proceeds of $386 million.

Other income. The decrease in other income of $30 million was primarily due to lower proceeds from unsecured claims. During the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $1 million and $39 million, respectively, related to the proceeds from unsecured claims.

Depreciation and amortization. The increase in depreciation and amortization of $35 million, or 6%, was primarily due to a higher average lease assets balance during the three months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022.

Net recoveries related to Ukraine Conflict. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized recoveries of $14 million, primarily related to a small number of engines that were on aircraft leased to Russian airlines prior to the Ukraine Conflict and had been located outside of Russia since the start of the Ukraine Conflict.

Asset impairment. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized asset impairment charges of $2 million and $12 million respectively, primarily related to lease terminations or sales transactions where we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense of $27 million, or 7%, was primarily attributable to:

•a $45 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in the average cost of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2022. The average cost of debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements on interest rate caps and swaps, debt issuance costs, upfront fees and other impacts, was 3.4% during the three months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.0% during the three months ended June 30, 2022. 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;

partially offset by

•a $2.2 billion decrease in the average outstanding debt balance to $46.6 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2023 from $48.8 billion during the three months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in a $18 million decrease in interest expense.

Leasing expenses. The increase in leasing expenses of $36 million was primarily due to $36 million of higher maintenance rights asset amortization and $12 million of higher lessor maintenance contributions and other leasing expenses, partially offset by $12 million of lower expenses primarily related to flight equipment transition costs and airline defaults.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $15 million, or 14%, was primarily due to higher personnel and travel-related expenses.

Income tax expense. The effective tax rate was 14.1% and 14.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The effective tax rate is impacted by the source and amount of earnings among our different tax jurisdictions as well as the amount of permanent tax differences relative to pre-tax income or loss, as well as certain discrete items. The effective tax rate in any period can be impacted by revisions to the estimated full year.

Basic lease rents. The increase in basic lease rents of $83 million, or 3%, was attributable to:

•the acquisition of assets between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023, with an aggregate net book value of $7.7 billion on their respective acquisition dates, resulting in an increase in basic lease rents of $207 million;

partially offset by

•the sale of assets between January 1, 2022 and June 30, 2023 with an aggregate net book value of $2.7 billion on their respective sale dates, resulting in a decrease in basic lease rents of $80 million; and

•a decrease in basic lease rents of $44 million primarily due to lease terminations related to the Ukraine Conflict, as well as lease transitions and lease restructurings, the accounting for which 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 $54 million, or 19%, was attributable to:

•an increase of $136 million in regular maintenance rents, primarily due to higher EOL compensation and other receipts;

partially offset by

•a decrease of $82 million in maintenance revenue and other receipts from lease terminations.

Net gain on sale of assets. The increase in net gain on sale of assets of $227 million was primarily due to the higher volume and composition of asset sales. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we sold 87 assets for sale proceeds of $1.5 billion and during the six months ended June 30, 2022, we sold 52 assets for proceeds of $838 million.

Other income The decrease in other income of $35 million was primarily due to lower proceeds from unsecured claims. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $3 million and $39 million, respectively, related to the proceeds from unsecured claims.

Net (recoveries) charges related to Ukraine Conflict. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized net recoveries related to Ukraine Conflict of $28 million, primarily related to a small number of engines that were on aircraft leased to Russian airlines prior to the Ukraine Conflict and had been located outside of Russia since the start of the Ukraine Conflict. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized a pre-tax net charge of $2.7 billion to our earnings, comprised of write-offs and impairments of flight equipment, which were partially offset by the derecognition of lease-related assets and liabilities and the collection of letter of credit proceeds. Please refer to “Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 18—Net charges related to Ukraine Conflict.”

Asset impairment. For the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we recognized asset impairment charges of $36 million and $14 million respectively, primarily related to lease terminations or sales transactions where we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation.

Interest expense. The increase in interest expense of $83 million, or 11%, was primarily attributable to:

•a $79 million increase in interest expense due to an increase in the average cost of debt for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022. The average cost of debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements on interest rate caps and swaps, debt issuance costs, upfront fees and other impacts, was 3.4% during the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to 3.0% during the six months ended June 30, 2022. 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

•a $50 million increase in interest expense attributable to movement in mark-to-market on interest rate caps and swaps. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized a loss of $11 million related to mark-to-market movements on interest rate caps and swaps, compared to a gain of $39 million recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2022;

partially offset by

•a $2.7 billion decrease in the average outstanding debt balance to $46.6 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2023 from $49.3 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2022, resulting in a $46 million decrease in interest expense.

Leasing expenses. The increase in leasing expenses of $54 million was primarily due to $65 million of higher maintenance rights asset amortization and $31 million of higher other leasing expenses, partially offset by $42 million of lower flight equipment transition costs, lessor maintenance contributions and expenses related to airline defaults.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses of $28 million, or 14%, was primarily due to higher personnel and travel-related expenses.

Income tax (expense) benefit. The effective tax rate was 14.0% and 11.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded $341 million of income tax benefit due to the recognition of net charges related to the Ukraine Conflict. Please refer to “Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 18—Net charges related to Ukraine Conflict.” The effective tax rate is impacted by the source and amount of earnings among our different tax jurisdictions as well as the amount of permanent tax differences relative to pre-tax income or loss, as well as certain discrete items. The 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 $32 million was primarily driven by higher earnings from our SES joint venture.

Liquidity and capital resources

The following table presents our consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022:


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2023		2022
	(U.S. Dollars in millions)

Net cash used in investing activities	(2,251)		(863)
Net cash used in financing activities	(746)		(2,157)

Cash flows provided by operating activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our net cash provided by operating activities of $2.6 billion was the result of net income of $932 million, other adjustments to net income of $1.4 billion consisting primarily of depreciation and amortization, collections of finance leases of $234 million and the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $31 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash provided by operating activities of $2.5 billion was the result of net loss of $1.7 billion, other adjustments to net loss of $4.1 billion and collections of finance leases of $140 million, partially offset by the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $59 million.

Cash flows used in investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our net cash used in investing activities of $2.3 billion primarily consisted of cash used for the purchase of and prepayments on flight equipment and other assets of $3.2 billion, partially offset by cash provided by asset sales of $945 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our net cash used in investing activities of $863 million primarily consisted of cash used for the purchase of and prepayments on flight equipment and other assets of $1.7 billion, partially offset by cash provided by asset sales of $796 million.

Cash flows used in financing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, our net cash used in financing activities of $746 million primarily consisted of cash used for debt repayments, debt issuance and extinguishment costs, net of new financing proceeds and debt premium received of $298 million, cash used for the repurchase of shares and payments of tax withholdings on share-based compensation of $790 million and cash used for the payment of dividends to our non-controlling interest holders of $6 million, partially offset by net cash provided by maintenance payments and security deposits received of $348 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our cash used in financing activities of $2.2 billion primarily consisted of cash used for debt repayments, debt issuance and extinguishment costs, net of new financing proceeds and debt premium received of $2.3 billion, cash used for the repurchase of shares and payments of tax withholdings on share-based compensation of $8 million and cash used for the payment of dividends to our non-controlling interest holders of $1 million, partially offset by net cash provided by maintenance payments and security deposits received of $189 million.

We have significant capital requirements, including making pre-delivery payments and paying the balance of the purchase price for flight equipment on delivery. As of June 30, 2023, we had commitments to purchase 399 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2028. We also had commitments to purchase 11 engines and 16 new helicopters through 2025.

As of June 30, 2023, our cash balance was $1.3 billion, including unrestricted cash of $1.2 billion, and we had $11.3 billion of undrawn lines of credit available under our revolving credit facilities and term loan facilities. As of June 30, 2023, our total available liquidity, including undrawn lines of credit, unrestricted cash, cash flows from contracted asset sales and other sources of funding, was $13.8 billion and, including estimated operating cash flows for the next 12 months, our total sources of liquidity were $19 billion. As of June 30, 2023, our existing sources of liquidity were sufficient to operate our business and cover approximately 1.4x of our debt maturities and contracted capital requirements for the next 12 months. As of June 30, 2023, the principal amount of our outstanding indebtedness, which excludes debt issuance costs, debt discounts and debt premium of $256 million, totaled $46.5 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 14—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 six months ended June 30, 2023, our average cost of debt, excluding the effect of mark-to-market movements on our interest rate caps and swaps, debt issuance fees, upfront fees and other impacts was 3.4%. As of June 30, 2023, our adjusted debt to equity ratio was 2.51 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 June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Contractual obligations

Our estimated future obligations as of June 30, 2023 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 and a reconciliation of such measures to the most closely related U.S. GAAP measures for the six months ended June 30, 2023. 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 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(U.S. Dollars in millions, except debt/equity ratio)
Debt	$	46,256	$	46,533
Adjusted for:
Cash and cash equivalents	(1,154)		(1,597)
50% credit for long-term subordinated debt	(1,125)		(1,125)
Adjusted debt	$	43,977	$	43,811

Equity	$	16,391	$	16,195
Adjusted for:
50% credit for long-term subordinated debt	1,125		1,125
Adjusted equity	$	17,516	$	17,320

Adjusted debt/equity ratio	2.51 to 1		2.53 to 1

Average cost of debt

Average cost of debt is calculated as interest expense, excluding mark-to-market on interest rate caps and swaps, debt issuance costs, upfront fees and other impacts, divided by the average debt balance. This measure reflects the impact from changes in the amount of debt and interest rates.

Summarized financial information of issuers and guarantors

AGAT/AICDC Notes

From time to time since the completion of the acquisition of ILFC, AerCap Trust and AICDC have co-issued senior unsecured notes (the “AGAT/AICDC Notes”). Please refer to “Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 14—Debt” for further details on the AGAT/AICDC Notes. 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, AerCap Aviation Solutions B.V., ILFC and AerCap U.S. Global Aviation LLC (the “Subsidiary Guarantors” and, together with the Parent Guarantor, the “AGAT/AICDC Guarantors”).

Subject to the provisions of the indenture governing the AGAT/AICDC Notes (the “AGAT/AICDC Indenture”), a Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its guarantee with respect to a series of AGAT/AICDC Notes under the following circumstances: (1) the sale, disposition or other transfer of (i) the capital stock of a Subsidiary Guarantor after which such Subsidiary Guarantor is no longer a Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the AGAT/AICDC Indenture) or (ii) all or substantially all of the assets of a Subsidiary Guarantor; (2) the permitted designation of the Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary as defined in and pursuant to the AGAT/AICDC Indenture; (3) the consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with and into AerCap Trust, AICDC or another AGAT/AICDC Guarantor with such person being the surviving entity, or upon the liquidation of a Subsidiary Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to AerCap Trust, AICDC or another AGAT/AICDC Guarantor; or (4) legal defeasance or covenant defeasance with respect to such series, each as described in the AGAT/AICDC Indenture, or if the obligations of AerCap Trust and AICDC with respect to such series under the AGAT/AICDC Indenture are discharged.

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).

Junior Subordinated Notes

In October 2019, AerCap Holdings N.V. issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% fixed-rate reset junior subordinated notes due 2079 (the “Junior Subordinated Notes”). Please refer to “Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 14—Debt” and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and “Note 16—Debt”, included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023, for further details on the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior Subordinated Notes are jointly and severally and fully and unconditionally guaranteed by AerCap Trust, AICDC, AerCap Ireland, AerCap Aviation Solutions B.V., ILFC and AerCap U.S. Global Aviation LLC (the “Subordinated Notes Guarantors”).

Subject to the provisions of the indenture governing the Junior Subordinated Notes (the “Subordinated Notes Indenture”), a Subordinated Notes Guarantor will be automatically and unconditionally released from its guarantee under the following circumstances: (1) the sale, disposition or other transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of a Subordinated Notes Guarantor; (2) the consolidation, amalgamation or merger of a Subordinated Notes Guarantor with and into AerCap Holdings N.V. or another Subordinated Notes Guarantor with such person being the surviving entity, or upon the liquidation of a Subordinated Notes Guarantor following the transfer of all of its assets to AerCap Holdings N.V. or another Subordinated Notes Guarantor; or (3) legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, each as described in the Subordinated Notes Indenture, or if the obligations of AerCap Holdings N.V. under the Subordinated Notes Indenture are discharged.

The guarantee obligations of each Subordinated Notes Guarantor are limited (i) to an amount not to exceed the maximum amount that can be guaranteed by a Subordinated Notes Guarantor (after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of all other Subordinated Notes Guarantors in respect of the obligations under their respective guarantees) without rendering the guarantee, as it relates to such Subordinated Notes 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 Subordinated Notes Guarantors are Irish and Dutch companies, it may be more difficult for holders of the Junior Subordinated Notes to obtain or enforce judgments against such guarantors.

Because AerCap Holdings N.V. and certain Subordinated Notes Guarantors are holding companies with very limited operations, their only significant assets are the equity interests of their directly held subsidiaries. As a result, AerCap Holdings N.V. and certain Subordinated Notes Guarantors are dependent primarily upon 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 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. 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 11—Derivative financial instruments,” “Part I. Financial Information—Item 1. Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 14—Debt” and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2023, 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 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 June 30, 2023. 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 or 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.

Weighted average pay rate	3.1		%	3.1		%	3.2		%	3.6		%	3.6		%	3.4		%

The variable benchmark interest rates associated with these instruments ranged from Term SOFR to one- to three-month U.S. dollar LIBOR, as applicable. All instruments referencing U.S. dollar LIBOR will expire, or will transition to Term SOFR, by September 30, 2023.

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 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, the rates of inflation are above or near recent historical highs in the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other countries. High rates of inflation may have a number of adverse effects on our business. 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 a particular aircraft 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.
