Notes Regarding Financial Information Presented In This Press Release
The financial information presented in this press release is not audited.
The following is a definition of non-GAAP measures used in this press release and a reconciliation of such measure to the most closely related GAAP measure:
Adjusted net income and adjusted earnings per share. These measures are determined by adding non-cash charges related to the mark-to-market losses on our interest rate caps and share based compensation during the applicable period, net of related tax benefits, to GAAP net income. The average number of shares is based on a daily average.
In addition, adjusted net income excludes the following non-recurring charges:
-- Fourth quarter 2013 adjusted net income of $74.9 million excludes transaction expenses relating to the ILFC transaction, incurred to date, of $9.1 million, net of tax.
-- Fourth quarter 2012 adjusted net income of $67.5 million excludes the loss on sale of the ALS portfolio of $54.6 million, net of tax.
-- Twelve months ended December 31, 2013 adjusted net income of $299.9 million excludes transaction expenses relating to the ILFC transaction, incurred to date, of $9.6 million, net of tax.
-- Twelve months ended December 31, 2012 adjusted net income of $258.0 million excludes the non-recurring charges to interest expense from the early repayment of secured loans of $20.9 million, net of tax and the loss on sale of the ALS portfolio of $54.6 million, net of tax.
In addition to GAAP net income and earnings per share, we believe these measures may provide investors with supplemental information regarding our operational performance and may further assist investors in their understanding of our operational performance in relation to past and future reporting periods. We use interest rate caps to allow us to benefit from decreasing interest rates and protect against the negative impact of rising interest rates on our floating rate debt. Management determines the appropriate level of caps in any period with reference to the mix of floating and fixed cash flows from our lease, debt and other contracts. We do not apply hedge accounting to our interest rate caps. As a result, we recognize the change in fair value of the interest rate caps in our income statement during each period.
The following is a reconciliation of adjusted net income to net income for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2013 and 2012:

Net interest margin, or net spread (refer to second table under Revenue and Net Spread section of this press release). This measure is the difference between basic lease rents and interest expense excluding the impact from the mark-to-market of interest rate caps. We believe this measure may further assist investors in their understanding of the changes and trends related to the earnings of our leasing activities. This measure reflects the impact from changes in the number of aircraft leased, lease rates, utilization rates, as well as the impact from changes in the amount of debt and interest rates.
