6 How aircraft are financed? Order & Cash FinancedLease

7 How aircraft are financed? Order & Loan FinanceOrder & Sale and Leaseback

8 The right question? A) Lease versus buy B) Lease versus borrow

9 Characteristics of (aircraft) operating lease and secured debt Secured Debt / Finance lease Collateral: aircraft Owner of aircraft – Debt: Airline – Finance lease: special purpose company owned by a bank Accounting treatment: debt Loan-to-value: 60-85% Tenor: 10-15 y Amortization: to 0 or balloon Interest: fixed or floating Operating lease and leaseback The asset is sold to the lessor The sale price: ~ Current Market Value Lease rental: typically fixed, monthly payment, 0.75 – 1.5% per month Lessor lowers its credit risk vis-a- vis airline by – Security deposits, 1-6 months – Rental paid beginning of the month – Maintenance reserve payments: a big portion (millions of dollars) of aircraft value depends on maintenance status of the A/C

10 Cash flows of (aircraft) operating lease and secured debt Secured Debt / Finance leaseOperating lease and leaseback IRR: 2,50% IRR: 2,25%

11 Lease vs debt How to compare lease vs debt cash flows? Just a discounting excercise? Do we have enough data?

12 Residual value is the key missing input

13 Opportunity cost calculation: residual value of USD 50 million included Secured Debt / Finance leaseOperating lease and leaseback IRR: 2,50% IRR: 6,76%, not 2,25%

14 Implicit cost of aircraft financing equity? Definition: Equity in aircraft financing Airlines are often very geared For a leveraged company, IRR of 6,76% sounds reasonable. Or does it?

15 Cost of equity Equity cash flowsGross vs equity flows Gross flows of a lease – IRR: 6.76% – Amount: 100 mio Debt flows – IRR: 2.50% – Amount: 75 mio Equity flows – IRR: 12.50% – Amount 25 million

16 Leases are always a bad choice? No. It depends. 100% financing. There is not always supply of available aircraft. If used the right way, leases add flexibility. Residual value risk hedge. Additional source of financing. Adds diversification.
