DUBLIN, July 28, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- FLY Leasing Limited
(NYSE: FLY) ("FLY"), a global lessor of modern, fuel-efficient
commercial jet aircraft, today announced its financial results for
the second quarter of 2016.
Second Quarter 2016 Highlights
- Net income of $4.7 million, or
$0.14 per share
- Adjusted Net Income of $15.0
million, or $0.45 per
share
- Acquired one new aircraft in the quarter and five aircraft in
July
- New $75 million share repurchase
program
"We continue to rejuvenate our fleet through the sale of older
aircraft and their replacement with newer models," said
Colm Barrington, CEO of FLY.
"In the second quarter we sold six aircraft with an average age of
18 years and so far this year, we have purchased six aircraft with
an average age of approximately 2 years. We will continue
with our strategy of selling older aircraft opportunistically and
purchasing newer models prudently. In addition to actively
managing our portfolio, we see good value in our shares which trade
at a significant discount to book value. Yesterday we
approved a new $75 million share
repurchase program."
"FLY remains in a strong position to achieve its strategic
objectives with $382 million in
unrestricted cash and the capacity to acquire up to $2 billion worth of aircraft," added
Barrington. "Our fleet is 100% utilized and we continue to
see excellent demand for leased aircraft."

FLY is reporting net income of $4.7
million, or $0.14 per diluted

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 non-cash amortization of fair
value adjustments recorded in purchase accounting; (iv) net losses
from debt modification and extinguishment; (v) non-cash share-based
compensation; (vi) legal and accounting expenses related
to the restatement of our financial statements and related
litigation; (vii) unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses;
(viii) deferred income taxes; and (ix) the ineffective portion and
charges associated with 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 the
ongoing performance of our operations 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 items, 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, we believe that
Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted Return on Equity help us and our
investors and potential investors compare our performance to our
competitors. These measures should be considered in addition
to, not as a substitute for net income or other financial measure
determined in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally
Accepted in the United States. FLY's definitions may be
different than those used by other companies, limiting their
usefulness as comparative measures.
