Avation PLC (LSE: AVAP), the commercial passenger aircraft leasing company, today announces its unaudited financial results for the six months ending 31 December 2016.
Overview
Hot Features
Premium
-- Lease revenue increased by 43% to $45.1 million;
-- Earnings before interest and tax ("EBIT" or "Operating Profit") grew 54% to $27.6 million;
-- Profit before taxation increased by 51% to $8.4 million;
-- Total profit after tax increased 54% to $7.4 million;
-- Operating cash flows increased 65% to $31.1 million; and
-- Earnings per share ("EPS") increased 46% to 12.9 cents.
Executive Chairman, Jeff Chatfield, said:
"Avation is pleased to report significant year on year increases in revenue, profit and operating cashflow in the half year to 31 December 2016.
"Fleet metrics have continued to improve as the fleet has grown, with the weighted average age of the aircraft decreasing to 2.8 years and the weighted average remaining lease term increasing to 7.8 years. Avation's strategy seeks to maintain a low average age of the fleet, lowering risk by maximising the long term earning potential of fleet assets. As at 31 December 2016 the value of the Company's jet fleet now exceeds that of the turboprop fleet.
"In addition to these satisfactory financial results Avation has grown the aircraft fleet, managed overhead costs and improved fleet metrics to position the Company well for the second half of the financial year."

Fleet Asset Summary
Fleet assets increased 64% to $850.4 million (2015: $518.3 million). Five Fokker 100 leases were converted to finance leases resulting in fleet assets totalling $12.2 million being transferred to finance lease receivables. Finance lease receivables totalled $48.2 million (2015: nil).
Update on Potential Sale of Turboprop Portfolio
In October 2016 Avation announced that it had received an expression of interest for 22 ATR 72 turboprop aircraft. As a consequence, Avation, through an appointed adviser, sought competing proposals from the market and received eight offers from a range of investors and lessors.
The bids received support a valuation of the portfolio at a premium to book value. The Company is still in discussion with a number of the bidders and best and final offers have yet to be received. At the current stage there is no certainty that any definitive agreement will be entered into nor that any transaction will materialise from the various discussions. The Board reiterates its position that any transaction would need to deliver shareholders a significant premium above book value.
Avation is an active trader of aircraft and from time to time will also consider the sale of individual or smaller portfolios of aircraft based on prevailing market opportunities.

Appointment to Board of Directors
Avation announced the appointment of Mr Derek Sharples as independent non-executive Director to the Board in November 2016.
Market Positioning
Avation focuses on narrowbody commercial jet and turboprop aircraft on long term leases. Avation's strategy focuses on new and relatively new aircraft. The Company's business model has a history of delivering consistent profitability while seeking to mitigate some of the risks associated with the aircraft leasing sector.
Avation seeks to maintain a fleet of aircraft assets with a low average age and long average remaining lease term. Avation will typically sell mid-life and older aircraft to redeploy capital to new assets. This approach is intended to mitigate technology change risk, operational and financial risk, support sustained growth and deliver long term shareholder value.
Outlook and Interim Management Statement
Fleet size and lease revenue has continued to increase during the half year. New aircraft have been acquired since the commencement of the 2017 financial year while some older aircraft have been sold or converted to finance leases. This has resulted in improved fleet age and average lease term metrics.
Avation's strategy involves the acquisition of new aircraft, maintain a low average fleet age, increased scale and customer diversification. Avation is an active trader of aircraft and will consider the sale of aircraft based on current market opportunities.
Management believes that it can attract airline customers or acquire leased aircraft and obtain the required funding for growth. In addition to operational cash flows, funding is traditionally sourced from capital markets, asset backed bank lending and disposal of selected aircraft. Access to acceptably priced funding remains a risk, which is common to all capital-intensive businesses. Specific risks which are inherent in the aircraft leasing industry include, but are not limited to, the creditworthiness of client airlines, over-production of new aircraft and market saturation, technology change in engines and aircraft, residual value risks, competition from other lessors and the general risk of impairment of aircraft assets.
Avation's Board of Directors is pleased to deliver satisfactory financial results from the aircraft leasing business while executing a strategy of fleet growth and risk mitigation. Avation is committed to delivering further growth and diversification to the business.

11 SEGMENT INFORMATION
Management has determined the operating segments based on reports reviewed by the Executive Chairman ("Chief Operating Decision Maker" or "CODM") that are used to make strategic decisions.
The CODM considers the business from a business segment perspective. Management manages and monitors the business in 2 primary business areas: aircraft leasing and aircraft parts procurement.
(a) Segment reporting policy
A segment is a distinguishable component of the Group within a particular economic environment (geographical segment) and to a particular industry (business segment) which is subject to risks and rewards that are different from those of other segments.
Business segments are based on the Group's management and internal reporting structure. In presenting information on the basis of business segments, segment revenue and segment assets are based on the nature of the products or services provided by the Group while information for geographical segments is based on the geographical areas where customers are located.
Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis. Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. Unallocated items are mostly comprised of corporate assets and liabilities or profit or losses items that are not directly attributable to a segment or those that cannot be allocated on a reasonable basis. Common expenses were allocated based on revenue.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the period to acquire segment assets that are expected to be used for more than one year.
(b) Business segments
During the six months ended 31 December 2016, the Group was organised into two main business segments which are aircraft leasing and aircraft parts procurement.
Other Group operations mainly comprise investment holding which does not constitute a separate reportable segment. There are no inter-segment transactions recorded during the financial period.
The aircraft parts procurement segment does not meet the quantitative thresholds and is not separately disclosed.

PRINCIPAL RISKS
The Group's risk management processes bring greater judgement to decision making as they allow management to make better, more informed and more consistent decisions based on a clear understanding of risk involved. We regularly review the risk assessment and monitoring process as part of our commitment to continually improve the quality of decision-making across the Group.
The principal risks and uncertainties which may affect the Group in the second half of the financial year will include the typical risks associated with the aviation business, including but not limited to any downturn in the global aviation industry, fuel costs, finance costs, war and terrorism and the like which may affect our airline customers' ability to fulfil their lease obligations.
The business also relies on its ability to source finance on favourable terms. Should this supply of finance contract, it would limit our fleet expansion and therefore growth.
GOING CONCERN
After making enquiries, the directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. For this reason they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the financial statements. The financial risk management objectives and policies of the Group and the exposure of the Group to credit risk and liquidity risk are discussed in the annual report for the Group for the year ended 30 June 2016.
DIRECTORS
The directors of Avation PLC are listed in its Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2016. A list of the current directors is maintained on the Avation PLC website: www.avation.net
STATEMENT OF DIRECTORS' RESPONSIBILITIES
