Limitations of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

AIRCASTLE
A MARUBENI & MIZUHO LEASING COMPANY
An investor or potential investor may find EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are important measures in evaluating our performance, results of operations and financial position.
We use these non-US GAAP measures to supplement our US GAAP results in order to provide a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our
business.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools and should not be viewed in isolation or as substitutes for US GAAP measures of earnings. Material
limitations in making the adjustments to our earnings to calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and using these non-US GAAP measures as compared to US GAAP net
income, income from continuing operations and cash flows provided by or used in operations, include:
•
depreciation and amortization, though not directly affecting our current cash position, represent the wear and tear and/or reduction in value of our aircraft, which
affects the aircraft's availability for use and may be indicative of future needs for capital expenditures;
the cash portion of income tax (benefit) provision generally represents charges (gains), which may significantly affect our financial results; and
adjustments required in calculating covenant ratios and compliance as that term is defined in the indenture governing our senior unsecured notes may differ from and
may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other companies.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not alternatives to net income, income from operations or cash flows provided by or used in operations as calculated and in accordance
with US GAAP. You should not rely on these non-US GAAP measures as a substitute for any such US GAAP financial measure. We strongly urge you to review the
reconciliations to US GAAP net income, along with our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in our Annual Report. We also strongly urge you to not rely on
any single financial measure to evaluate our business. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under US GAAP and
are susceptible to varying calculations, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as here, may differ from and may not be comparable to, similarly titled measures used by other
companies.
