Insights

AerCap delivers exceptional Q2 with record earnings, significant insurance recovery, and raised 2025 guidance amid strong aviation leasing demand.

AerCap's second quarter results demonstrate exceptional financial strength with record net income of $1,259 million ($7.09 per share), though this was substantially boosted by a $1 billion insurance payment awarded by the London Commercial Court for aircraft lost in Russia. The company's adjusted net income of $502 million ($2.83 per share) provides a clearer picture of operational performance.

Underlying fundamentals show robust industry demand. The 97% lease extension rate indicates extremely strong aircraft demand and limited supply availability. Basic lease rents grew 5% year-over-year to $1,653 million, showing healthy core business expansion. The company maintained a stable annualized net spread of 7.5%, despite interest expense increasing 8% due to higher interest rates, demonstrating effective margin management.

Asset sales generated an impressive 18% gain-on-sale margin (1.7x book value on equity basis), though total gain on sale declined 56% due to fewer assets sold (18 vs. 31 in Q2 2024). This selective selling approach at premium valuations confirms the strong secondary market for aviation assets.

Balance sheet metrics reveal disciplined capital management. The adjusted debt/equity ratio improved to 2.2:1 from 2.35:1 at year-end 2024. Book value per share increased substantially by 15% year-over-year to $102.99, creating significant shareholder value. The company returned $445 million to shareholders through share repurchases in Q2 alone, bringing YTD buybacks to over $1 billion.

Most significantly, management has raised full-year 2025 EPS guidance to approximately $11.60 (excluding additional gain on sale), demonstrating confidence in continued strong performance. The company also announced a quarterly dividend of $0.27 per share.

The new strategic partnership with Air France-KLM for LEAP engine leasing and the framework agreement with Leonardo for helicopter maintenance transfers represent forward-looking initiatives to enhance service offerings and simplify customer operations. These partnerships should strengthen AerCap's competitive positioning in key growth segments.

  • Record net income for the second quarter of 2025 of $1,259 million, or $7.09 per share.
  • Adjusted net income for the second quarter of 2025 of $502 million, or $2.83 per share.
  • Raising full-year 2025 adjusted earnings per share guidance to approximately $11.60, not including any additional gains on sale for the remainder of the year.

DUBLIN, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AerCap Holdings N.V. (NYSE: AER), the industry leader across all areas of aviation leasing, today reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2025.

"AerCap produced another strong performance for the second quarter of 2025. We generated record net income, driven by strong operating results and the favorable June court judgment in our insurance case. We also announced a new strategic partnership for engine leasing with Air France-KLM that will expand our ability to support LEAP engine operators. Global demand for aviation assets remains high, as evidenced by our 97% lease extension rate during the second quarter. Based on AerCap's strong first-half results and positive outlook for the remainder of the year, we have increased our 2025 full-year EPS guidance," said Aengus Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of AerCap.

Effective Tax Rate

AerCap's effective tax rate was 12.2% for the second quarter of 2025, compared to an effective tax rate of 15.5% for the second quarter of 2024.

In the second quarter of 2025, the income tax expense included a tax benefit of $41 million due to the reversal of a Pillar 2 provision from the prior year.

Adjusted net income / earnings per share, adjusted return on equity and adjusted earnings per share guidance

Adjusted net income is calculated as net income excluding the after-tax impact of the amortization of maintenance rights and lease premium assets recognized under purchase accounting and net recoveries related to the Ukraine Conflict. Adjusted earnings per share is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by the weighted average of our ordinary shares outstanding. Adjusted return on equity is calculated by dividing adjusted net income by average shareholders' equity. Given the relative significance of these items during 2025, we have chosen to present this measure in order to assist investors in their understanding of the changes and trends related to our earnings.

Adjusted debt/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.

Adjusted net interest margin, annualized net spread, annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization and average cost of debt

Adjusted net interest margin is calculated as the difference between basic lease rents, excluding the impact of the amortization of lease premium/deficiency recognized under purchase accounting, and interest expense, excluding the impact of the mark-to-market of interest rate derivatives. Annualized net spread is adjusted net interest margin expressed as a percentage of average lease assets. Annualized net spread less depreciation and amortization is adjusted net interest margin less depreciation and amortization, expressed as a percentage of average lease assets.

Average cost of debt is calculated as interest expense, excluding mark-to-market on interest rate derivatives, debt issuance costs, upfront fees and other impacts, divided by average debt balance.
