Willis Lease Finance Corp
Willis Lease Finance Corporation (WLFC) is a specialised lessor and remarketer of commercial aircraft, engines and aircraft components, serving airlines and leasing companies globally. The business generates income from lease rentals, lease extensions, sales of used equipment and parts, and technical services. As a smaller-cap company (market cap about $882.32m), WLFC’s results are closely tied to airline demand, lease rate trends, used-aircraft values and fleet utilisation. Key metrics for investors include average lease rates, utilisation, fleet age and the carrying value of assets. The company’s access to capital and balance-sheet strength affect its ability to acquire and reposition assets, while interest-rate moves and credit risk can influence financing costs and residual values. Aviation leasing is cyclical and can be volatile; past performance is no guarantee of future returns.
