Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax margin have been adjusted to exclude the effects of certain non-cash items and other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations, such as retirement compensation, merger related costs, and recoveries related to our former Russian fleet. See note 1 under the Consolidated Statements of Income included in this earnings release for a discussion of the non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. |
Highlights
- On April 8, 2026, Air Lease Corporation completed the previously announced merger (the “Merger”) of Takeoff Merger Sub Inc., with and into Air Lease Corporation, with Air Lease Corporation surviving the Merger as an indirect subsidiary of Sumisho Air Lease Corporation Designated Activity Company (“Parent”). Parent is a new holding company established in connection with the Merger and is jointly owned, directly or indirectly, by Sumitomo Corporation, SMBC Aviation Capital Limited (“SMBC AC”) and investment vehicles affiliated with Apollo managed funds and Brookfield. Air Lease Corporation changed its name to Sumisho Air Lease Corporation in connection with the Merger.
- During the first quarter, we took delivery of 12 aircraft from our orderbook, representing $780 million in aircraft investments, ending the period with 496 aircraft in our owned fleet and over $33 billion in total assets.
- Sold six aircraft during the first quarter for $275 million in sales proceeds.
- We have $5.6 billion of aircraft in our sales pipeline1, which includes approximately $940 million in flight equipment held for sale as of March 31, 2026 and approximately $4.6 billion of aircraft subject to letters of intent.

Financial Overview
First Quarter 2026 vs. First Quarter 2025
Our total rental of flight equipment revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 increased by approximately 4%, to $674 million, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase is primarily due to the growth of our flight equipment subject to operating leases since March 31, 2025 and an increase in our portfolio yield.
Our gain on aircraft sales and trading and other income decreased to $65 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $93 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was primarily driven by lower sales activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded $53 million in gains from the sale of six aircraft, compared to $61 million in gains from the sale of 16 aircraft and $8 million from one sales-type lease for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In addition, we had a $8 million decrease in management fee revenue and a $4 million decrease in other income, which includes interest income, foreign currency fluctuations on our sales-type leases and other miscellaneous income from the prior year period.
Our total operating expenses decreased by 2% to $589 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026, as compared to $599 million of total operating expenses, excluding the recovery of our Russian fleet write-off of $332 million, during the three months ended March 31, 2025. Despite the increase in our composite cost of funds, our interest expense decreased by $8 million due to lower average debt balances during the period. In addition, although we incurred $9 million in merger-related costs during the first quarter of 2026, this was largely offset by non-recurring retirement expenses for our former executive chairman recognized during the first quarter of 2025, resulting in our selling, general and administrative expenses to be relatively flat as compared to the prior year period. Depreciation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025 increased $11 million due to the growth of our fleet.
Our net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 decreased to $115 million, or $1.02 per diluted share, from $365 million, or $3.26 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. In the prior year, we benefited from a $332 million settlement of insurance claims with certain insurers related to aircraft detained in Russia, as well as higher gains on sales, resulting in a decrease in our net income attributable to common stockholders in the current period. These were slightly offset by higher total rental of flight equipment revenue in the current period and an overall decrease in our total operating expenses, as discussed above.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded adjusted net income before income taxes of $165 million, or $1.47 per adjusted diluted share, as compared to adjusted net income before income taxes of $169 million, or $1.51 per adjusted diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Despite the increase in our rental revenues due to the growth of our fleet and higher portfolio lease yield in the current period, our adjusted net income decreased primarily due to lower sales activity and an increase in depreciation expense, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense due to lower average debt balances during the period.
Flight Equipment Portfolio
As of March 31, 2026, the net book value of our flight equipment subject to operating leases was $28.9 billion, compared to $29.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. During the quarter, we reclassified $628.9 million in aircraft value to flight equipment held for sale, resulting in a decrease in the net book value of our fleet. As of March 31, 2026, we owned 496 aircraft in our aircraft portfolio, comprised of 357 narrowbody aircraft and 139 widebody aircraft, and we managed 40 aircraft. The weighted average fleet age and weighted average remaining lease term of flight equipment subject to operating leases as of March 31, 2026 was 5.0 years and 7.2 years, respectively. We had a globally diversified customer base comprised of 103 airlines in 52 countries as of March 31, 2026.

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 state of the airline industry, our ability to access the capital and debt markets, 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:
- our inability to obtain additional capital on favorable terms, or at all, to service our debt obligations and refinance maturing debt obligations;
- increases in our cost of borrowing, decreases in our credit ratings or changes in interest rates;
- our inability to generate sufficient returns on our aircraft investments through strategic aircraft acquisitions and profitable leasing;
- obsolescence of, or changes in overall demand for, our aircraft;
- 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;
- impaired financial condition and liquidity of our lessees, including due to lessee defaults and reorganizations, bankruptcies or similar proceedings;
- potential conflicts of interest with SMBC AC, as servicer of the majority of our aircraft;
- increased competition from other aircraft lessors;
- 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;
- increased tariffs and other restrictions on trade;
- changes in the regulatory environment, including changes in tax laws and environmental regulations;
- 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
- any additional factors discussed under “Part II — Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, 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.

Adjusted net income before income taxes (defined as net income attributable to common stockholders excluding the effects of certain non-cash items and other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations, such as retirement compensation, merger related costs and recoveries related to our former Russian fleet), adjusted pre-tax margin (defined as adjusted net income before income taxes divided by total revenues) and adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes (defined as adjusted net income before income taxes divided by the weighted average diluted common shares outstanding) 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 and diluted earnings per share, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes 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 and adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes 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 and other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes, 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 and adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes 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 and adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes may differ from the adjusted net income before income taxes, adjusted pre-tax margin and adjusted diluted earnings per share before income taxes or analogous calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. |
