Diversified portfolio of modern aircraft.
We have a portfolio of modern aircraft that is diversified with respect to lessees, geographic markets, lease maturities and aircraft types. As of
December 31, 2017
, our aircraft portfolio consisted of
236
aircraft, comprising a variety of aircraft types leased to
81
lessees located in
43
countries and lease expirations for our owned aircraft are well dispersed, with a weighted-average remaining lease term of
5.0
years. This provides the company with a long-dated base of contracted revenues. We believe our focus on portfolio diversification reduces the risks associated with individual lessee defaults and adverse geopolitical or economic issues, and results in generally predictable cash flows.
|
•
|
Flexible, disciplined acquisition approach and broad investment sourcing network.
Since our formation, we have acquired 430 aircraft for approximately $14.0 billion.
Our investment strategy is to seek out the best risk-adjusted return opportunities across the commercial jet market, so our acquisition targets vary with market opportunities. We source our acquisitions through well-established relationships with airlines, other aircraft lessors, manufacturers, financial institutions and other aircraft owners. Since our formation in 2004, we built our aircraft portfolio through more than 155 transactions with 88 counterparties.
|
•
|
Significant experience in successfully selling aircraft throughout their life cycle.
Since our formation, we sold 206 aircraft for approximately $4.9 billion. These sales produced net gains of $286 million and involved a wide range of aircraft types and buyers. Our team is adept at managing and executing the sale of aircraft. We sold 140 aircraft that were over fourteen years old at the time of sale; many of these being sold on a part-out disposition basis, where the airframe and engines may be sold to various buyers. We believe our competence in selling older aircraft is an essential portfolio management skill and one of the capabilities that sets us apart from many of our larger competitors.

Strong capital raising track record and access to a wide range of financing sources.
Aircastle is a publicly listed company, and our shares have traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) since 2006. Since our inception in late 2004, we raised approximately $1.7 billion in equity capital from private and public investors. Our largest shareholder is Marubeni Corporation (“Marubeni”), with whom we maintain a strong, strategic relationship. We also obtained $13.4 billion in debt capital from a variety of sources including the unsecured bond market, commercial banks, export credit agency-backed debt, and the aircraft securitization market. The diversity and global nature of our financing sources demonstrates our ability to adapt to changing market conditions and seize new opportunities.
|
•
|
Our capital structure is long-dated and provides investment flexibility.
Our business is currently financed under debt financings with a weighted-average debt maturity of 3.5 years. We also have $635 million available from unsecured revolving credit facilities that expire in 2019 and 2020, thereby limiting our near-term financial markets exposure. Given our relatively limited future capital commitments, we have the resources to take advantage of future investment opportunities. Our access to the unsecured bond market and our unsecured revolving lines of credit, due to our large unencumbered asset base, allow us to pursue a flexible and opportunistic investment
|
•
|
Experienced management team with significant expertise.
Each member of our management team has more than twenty years of industry experience and we have expertise in the acquisition, leasing, financing, technical management, restructuring/repossession and/or sale of aviation assets. This experience spans several industry cycles and a wide range of business conditions and is global in nature. We believe our management team is highly qualified to manage and grow our aircraft portfolio and to address our long-term capital needs.
|
•
|
Global and scalable business platform.
We operate through offices in the United States, Ireland and Singapore, using a modern asset management system designed specifically for aircraft operating lessors and capable of handling a significantly larger aircraft portfolio. We believe that our current facilities, systems and personnel are capable of supporting an increase in our revenue base and asset base without a proportional increase in overhead costs.
|
•
|
Pursuing a disciplined and differentiated investment strategy.
In our view, aircraft values change in different ways over time. We carefully evaluate investments across different aircraft models, ages, lessees and acquisition sources and re-evaluate these choices as market conditions and relative investment values change. We believe the financing flexibility offered through unsecured debt and our team’s experience with a wide range of asset types provides us with a competitive advantage. We view orders from equipment manufacturers to be part of our investment opportunity set, but choose to keep our long term capital commitments limited.
|
•
|
Originating investments from many different sources across the globe.
Our strategy is to seek out worthwhile investments by leveraging our team’s wide range of contacts. We utilize a multi-channel approach to sourcing acquisitions and have purchased aircraft from a large number of airlines, lessors, original equipment manufacturers, lenders and other aircraft owners. Since our formation in 2004, we have acquired aircraft from 88 different sellers.
|
•
|
Selling assets when attractive opportunities arise.
We sell assets with the aim of realizing profits and reinvesting proceeds when a sale generates the greatest expected cash flow or when more accretive investments are available. We also use asset sales for portfolio management purposes, such as reducing lessee specific concentrations and lowering residual value exposures to certain aircraft types.
|
•
|
Maintaining efficient access to capital from a wide set of sources while targeting an investment grade credit rating.
We believe the aircraft investment market is influenced by the business cycle. Our strategy is to increase our purchase activity when prices are low and to emphasize asset sales when competition for assets is high. To implement this approach, we believe it is important to maintain access to a wide variety of financing sources. Our objective is to improve our corporate credit ratings to an investment grade level by maintaining strong portfolio and capital structure metrics while achieving a critical size through accretive growth. We believe improving our credit rating will not only reduce our borrowing costs, but also facilitate more reliable access to both secured and unsecured debt capital throughout the business cycle.
|
•
|
Leveraging our strategic relationships.
We intend to capture the benefits provided through the extensive global contacts and relationships maintained by Marubeni, which is our biggest shareholder and one of the largest Japanese trading companies. Marubeni has enabled greater access to Japanese-based financing and helped source and develop our joint venture with the leasing arm of the Industrial Bank of Japan, Limited (“IBJL”). We also have a joint venture (“Lancaster”) with Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan (“Teachers'”), currently our second largest shareholder.
|
•
|
Capturing the value of our efficient operating platform and strong operating track record.
We believe our team’s capabilities in the global aircraft leasing market places us in a favorable position to source and manage

Intending to pay quarterly dividends to our shareholders based on the Company
’
s sustainable earnings levels.
Aircastle has paid dividends each quarter since our initial public offering in 2006. On
October 31, 2017
, our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of
$0.28
per common share, or an aggregate of
$22.0 million
for the three months ended
December 31, 2017
, which was paid on
December 15, 2017
to holders of record on
November 30, 2017
. These dividend amounts may not be indicative of any future dividends. Our ability to pay quarterly dividends will depend upon many factors, including those as described in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this Annual Report.

•
|
flight equipment where estimates of the manufacturer’s realized sales prices are not readily available; and
|
•
|
flight equipment which may have a shorter useful life due to obsolescence.
|
•
|
Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
•
|
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
|
•
|
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability.
|
•
|
The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
|
•
|
The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectation about those future amounts.
|
•
|
The cost approach is based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
