Sumisho Air Lease announces financial results for the second quarter of 2026.
Second Quarter 2026 Results
The following table summarizes the operating results of Sumisho Air Lease Corporation (the “Company”) for the period from April 8, 2026 through June 30, 2026 (Successor), April 1, 2026 through April 7, 2026 (Predecessor), the three month period ended June 30, 2025 (Predecessor), and for the combined Successor and Predecessor periods comprising the three months ended June 30, 2026 (in millions, except per share amounts and percentages). The comparability of our operating results for the Successor and Predecessor periods was impacted by the merger. Although U.S. GAAP requires that we report our results for the Predecessor period before the merger and the Successor period after the merger separately, our operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 are shown by combining the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods (“Non-GAAP Combined”) in order to compare to the same period in the prior year.

Adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax margin have been adjusted to exclude the effects of certain non-cash items and other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations, such as retirement compensation, merger related costs, and recoveries related to our former Russian fleet. See note 1 under the Consolidated Statements of Income included in this earnings release for a discussion of the non-GAAP measures and a reconciliation to their most comparable GAAP financial measures. |
Highlights
- We ended the period with 488 aircraft in our owned fleet and over $30.5 billion in total assets.
- Sold nine aircraft during the Non-GAAP Combined three months ended June 30, 2026 for $423 million in sales proceeds.
- We have $5.1 billion of aircraft in our sales pipeline1, which includes approximately $5.1 billion in flight equipment held for sale and approximately $25.4 million of aircraft subject to letters of intent as of June 30, 2026. As of August 10, 2026, all of the aircraft in our sales pipeline were subject to binding agreements.
- In July 2026, we entered into unsecured term loans totaling $1.15 billion, consisting of a $650 million one-year term loan bearing interest at one-month Term SOFR plus 0.90% and a $500 million term loan maturing in December 2026 bearing interest at three-month Term SOFR plus 0.90%.
Financial Overview
Second Quarter 2026 vs. Second Quarter 2025
Our rental of flight equipment revenues for the Non-GAAP Combined three months ended June 30, 2026, decreased by approximately 10.0%, to $611.1 million, as compared to $678.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease is primarily due to a lower weighted average net book value of our flight equipment subject to operating leases, resulting from the sale of our order book and continued sales activity, and a decrease in our end of lease revenue recognized. The net book value of our flight equipment subject to operating leases decreased to $23.9 billion as of June 30, 2026 from a net book value of $29.1 billion as of June 30, 2025. During the Non-GAAP Combined three months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized $2.7 million in end-of-lease revenue, as compared to $20.3 million recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025.
Our gain on aircraft sales and trading and other income decreased to $30.1 million compared to $53.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was mainly driven by lower gains on aircraft sales due to the impact of acquisition accounting and lower management fee revenue due to a decrease in the number of managed aircraft from the prior year period. As a result of the application of the acquisition method of accounting, the carrying values of our flight equipment held for sale as of the date of the merger were adjusted to fair value. As a result, we did not record any gains on aircraft sales for the seven aircraft sold between the April 8, 2026 closing of the merger through June 30, 2026. During the Predecessor period from April 1, 2026 through April 7, 2026, we sold two aircraft to third parties resulting in $12.7 million in gains compared to $16.7 million in gains from the sale of four aircraft for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Sales proceeds for the nine aircraft sold during the Non-GAAP Combined three months ended June 30, 2026 were $423.2 million.
Excluding the $344.0 million insurance recovery related to our Russian fleet in the three months ended June 30, 2025, total operating expenses increased 6.9% to $630.0 million for the Non-GAAP Combined three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to $589.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily driven by $64.8 million of non-recurring merger-related expenses included in selling, general and administrative expenses, an increase in interest expense due to the amortization of fair value adjustments resulting from purchase accounting, and an increase in our composite cost of funds, partially offset by lower depreciation expense resulting from purchase accounting fair value adjustments to our fleet.
During the Non-GAAP Combined three months ended June 30, 2026, we reported a net income attributable to common stockholders of $7.2 million, compared to net income attributable to common stockholders of $374.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The year-over-year decline was primarily driven by the absence of the $344.0 million insurance recovery related to our Russian fleet recognized in the prior-year period, lower total revenues, as well as higher selling, general and administrative expenses and increased interest expense.
During the Non-GAAP Combined three months ended June 30, 2026, adjusted net income before income taxes decreased to $126.4 million from $157.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The decline was primarily driven by lower total revenues and an increase in interest expense due to the increase in our composite cost of funds.
1 Aircraft in our sales pipeline is as of June 30, 2026, and includes letters of intent and sale agreements signed through August 10, 2026.
Our Fleet
As of June 30, 2026, the net book value of our flight equipment subject to operating leases was $23.9 billion, compared to $29.1 billion as of December 31, 2025. On April 8, 2026, the carrying value of our flight equipment was adjusted to reflect the fair value adjustments recorded as part of the purchase price allocation in connection with the merger. In addition, during the Successor period from April 8, 2026 through June 30, 2026, approximately $4.5 billion of aircraft assets were reclassified to flight equipment held for sale, resulting in a corresponding decrease in the net book value of flight equipment subject to operating leases. As of June 30, 2026, we owned 488 aircraft in our aircraft portfolio, comprised of 350 narrowbody aircraft and 138 widebody aircraft, and we managed 38 aircraft. The weighted average fleet age and weighted average remaining lease term of flight equipment subject to operating leases as of June 30, 2026 was 4.8 years and 7.0 years, respectively. We had a globally diversified customer base comprised of 96 airlines in 50 countries as of June 30, 2026.

On April 8, 2026, in connection with the closing of the merger, SMBC AC acquired our rights to the outstanding orderbook for undelivered aircraft and the committed fleet rentals for such aircraft have been subsequently transferred to SMBC AC. In addition, the carrying value of flight equipment subject to operating lease was adjusted to reflect purchase accounting fair value adjustments recorded as part of the purchase price allocation. For further discussion of the merger see Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. |

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Those statements appear in a number of places in this press release and include statements regarding, among other matters, the state of the airline industry, our ability to access the capital and debt markets, our aircraft sales pipeline and expectations, changes in inflation and interest rates and other macroeconomic conditions and other factors affecting our financial condition or results of operations. Words such as “can,” “could,” “may,” “predicts,” “potential,” “will,” “projects,” “continuing,” “ongoing,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” and “should,” and variations of these words and similar expressions, are used in many cases to identify these forward-looking statements. Any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements, or industry results to vary materially from our future results, performance or achievements, or those of our industry, expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Such factors include, among others:
- we have a significant amount of indebtedness, requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows to be dedicated to debt service payments, and we will require significant capital to satisfy our outstanding debt obligations as they come due;
- despite our substantial indebtedness levels, we may still be able to incur significantly more debt, which could exacerbate the risks associated with our substantial debt;
- changes in our cost of borrowing or interest rate increases may adversely affect our net income and our ability to compete in the marketplace;
- any negative changes in our credit ratings may limit our ability to obtain financing or increase our borrowing costs;
- our senior unsecured securities will be effectively subordinated to our secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness;
- the limited covenants applicable to our senior unsecured securities that may not provide protection against some events or developments that may affect our ability to repay such securities or the trading prices for such securities;
- we may be unable to generate sufficient returns on our aircraft investments which may have an adverse impact on our net income;
- failure to complete our planned aircraft sales could affect our net income and credit ratings may lead us to use alternative sources of liquidity;
- if our aircraft become obsolete or experience a decline in customer demand, our ability to lease and sell those aircraft and our results of operations may be negatively impacted and may result in impairment charges;
- potential conflicts of interest may arise from SMBC AC’s role as the exclusive servicer of our aircraft leased to non-U.S. airlines;
- after the merger, we no longer have an OEM orderbook, which may impact our ability to manage our aircraft portfolio and, if we are unable to obtain new and younger aircraft, it may increase our re-leasing risk and residual value risk;
- aircraft have limited economic useful lives and depreciate over time and we may be required to record an impairment charge or sell aircraft for a price less than its depreciated book value which may impact our financial results;
- we are dependent on the ability of our lessees to perform their payment and other obligations to us under our leases and their failure to do so may materially and adversely affect our financial results and cash flows;
- we may experience increased competition from other aircraft lessors which may impact our ability to execute our long-term strategy;
- our lessees may fail to adequately insure our aircraft or fulfill their indemnity obligations, or we may not be able to adequately insure our aircraft or insurers may not fulfill their policy obligations, which may result in increased costs and liabilities;
- other events affecting our business or the business of our lessees and aircraft manufacturers or their suppliers that are beyond our or their control, such as the threat or realization of epidemic diseases, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, war or armed hostilities between countries or non-state actors; and
- any additional factors discussed under “Part II — Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, and other Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) filings, including future SEC filings.
All forward-looking statements are necessarily only estimates of future results, and there can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from expectations. You are therefore cautioned not to place undue reliance on such statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made, and we do not intend and undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking information to reflect actual results or events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Factors Affecting Comparability of Financial Results
The merger was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, we have up to one year from the Effective Time to obtain the information necessary to finalize the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. As of June 30, 2026, the purchase accounting allocation remained preliminary. The application of acquisition accounting resulted in certain adjustments that affect the comparability of our results of operations to those of our Predecessor, including changes in the carrying values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the related depreciation and amortization expense, as well transaction expenses associated with the merger. Refer to Note 3 Merger Transaction and Purchase Accounting, to the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 for additional information regarding the preliminary allocation of consideration transferred to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The comparability of our operating results for the period from April 8, 2026 through June 30, 2026 (Successor), January 1, 2026 through April 7, 2026 (Predecessor) and the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 (Predecessor) was impacted by the merger. Although U.S. GAAP requires that we report our results for the Predecessor period before the merger and the Successor period after the merger separately, our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 are shown by combining the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods (“Non-GAAP Combined”) in order to compare to the same period in the prior year. The combined results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from April 1, 2026 through April 7, 2026 and the Successor period from April 8, 2026 through June 30, 2026. The combined results for the six months ended June 30, 2026 represent the sum of the reported amounts for the Predecessor period from January 1, 2026 through April 7, 2026 and the Successor period from April 8, 2026 through June 30, 2026. The combined results of operations included in our discussion below are not considered to be prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP because a different basis of accounting was used with respect to the financial results for the Predecessor as compared to the financial results of the Successor and have not been prepared as pro forma results under applicable regulations. The Non-GAAP Combined results do not reflect the actual results we would have achieved had the merger occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2026 and are not necessarily indicative of future results. Accordingly, the results for the combined three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 (prepared on a Non-GAAP basis) and the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025 (prepared on a GAAP basis) may not be comparable.

Adjusted net income before income taxes (defined as net (loss)/income attributable to common stockholders excluding the effects of certain non-cash items and other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations, such as retirement compensation, merger related costs and recoveries related to our former Russian fleet, and certain other items) and adjusted pre-tax margin (defined as adjusted net income before income taxes divided by total revenues) are measures of operating performance that are not defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss)/income attributable to common stockholders and pre-tax margin, or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax margin are presented as supplemental disclosure because management believes they provide useful information on our earnings from ongoing operations.
Management and our board of directors use adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax margin to assess our consolidated financial and operating performance. 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, and other items that we do not believe are indicative of our ongoing operations. Adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax margin, however, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our operating results or cash flows as reported under GAAP. Adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax margin do not reflect our cash expenditures or changes in our cash requirements for our working capital needs. In addition, our calculation of adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax margin may differ from the adjusted net income before income taxes and adjusted pre-tax margin, or analogous calculations of other companies in our industry, limiting their usefulness as a comparative measure. |
