Second-quarter operating income rose 20.2% and lease rent revenue rose 6.7% year on year. Assets under management grew 21% to $4.4 billion, expanding the platform for leasing and fee income. (StockTitan)
WLFC closed its purchase of 12 aircraft and 13 engines in August, adding assets that it can use across its leasing, technical and aftermarket businesses. (GlobeNewswire)
A five-year agreement with Pratt & Whitney to provide storage and lease-return services across five engine types could broaden WLFC’s service revenues and strengthen a long-standing customer relationship. (GlobeNewswire)
Portfolio utilisation fell to 85% from 87.2% a year earlier, while short-term maintenance reserve revenue declined to $39.0 million from $50.2 million. That points to weaker utilisation and maintenance-related income despite higher lease rent. (The Motley Fool)
WLFC had $2.32 billion of debt obligations against $709 million of shareholders’ equity at June-end, leaving the business exposed to financing costs and any downturn in asset values.
