Second Quarter 2017 Highlights

  • Net income of $2.9 million, nine cents per share
  • Adjusted Net Income of $9.7 million, 31 cents per share
  • Repurchased nearly two million shares at an average price of $13.07 per share
  • Acquired five aircraft, four of which were new deliveries from manufacturers
  • Upsized Term Loan by $50 million
  • Repriced Term Loan, saving approximately $2 million in annual interest

"We grew our fleet by investing $290 million in five aircraft in the second quarter, including four new aircraft purchased from the manufacturers," said Colm Barrington, CEO of FLY. "The five aircraft are on leases with an average term of 11 years, further enhancing the overall quality of our fleet. We expect to see improved earnings from these aircraft, and others in our pipeline, as the year progresses."

"FLY continues to aggressively repurchase its shares," added Barrington. "In the second quarter, we bought back nearly two million shares for a total of $25.9 million. At quarter end, we repurchased approximately 6.5 percent of the shares outstanding at the beginning of the year. Our average repurchase price of just over $13 per share has helped increase our net book value per share this year to $19.08."

"We are focused on growth and have a strong pipeline of attractive aircraft investments that we expect to announce in the coming months," said Barrington. "We expect to meet our $750 million acquisition target in 2017 – and we have the financial resources to acquire an additional $2 billion of aircraft."

FLY defines Adjusted Net Income as net income plus or minus (i) non-cash impairment charges; (ii) non-cash amortization of debt discounts, loan issuance costs, lease premiums and discounts, and other items; (iii) adjustments related to the GAAM portfolio acquisition comprised primarily of amortization of fair value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting; (iv) net losses from debt modification and extinguishment; (v) non-recurring expenses; (vi) unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses; (vii) deferred income taxes; and (viii) the ineffective portion and gains and losses associated with cash flow hedges. The adjustments included within Adjusted Net Income are primarily non-cash items, one-time or non-recurring items that are not expected to continue in the future, and certain other items that we consider unrelated to the ongoing performance of our operations. Adjusted Return on Equity is calculated by dividing Adjusted Net Income by the average shareholders' equity for the periods presented.  For periods of less than one year, the resulting return is annualized.

FLY uses Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Return on Equity, in addition to GAAP net income and earnings per share, to assess our core operating performance on a consistent basis from period to period. 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, one-time or non-recurring items that are not expected to continue in the future, and certain other items that are not indicative of our overall operating trends. In addition, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Return on Equity help us compare our performance to our competitors. These measures should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for net income or other financial measures determined in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States. FLY's definitions may be different than those used by other companies.
