The company has not recognized any claim receivables related to its insurance claims as of December 31, 2022, due to uncertainties in recovery[89] Operational and Competitive Challenges - The aviation leasing industry is highly competitive, with potential competition from emerging aircraft leasing companies and other market participants, which could adversely affect financial results[121] - The concentration of aircraft manufacturing among a few manufacturers poses risks related to delivery delays and market conditions, potentially affecting lease rates and aircraft values[98] - Manufacturing delays from major suppliers like Boeing could negatively impact cash flow and results of operations, as seen with the suspension of Boeing 787 deliveries[126] - The company anticipates that restructuring or terminating leases due to lessee financial difficulties may result in less favorable lease terms and reduced revenue[110] Cybersecurity and Governance Risks - Cyberattacks pose a risk to the company's IT systems, potentially leading to material disruptions and loss of sensitive information, which could harm business operations[131] - GE currently owns approximately 45% of the company's outstanding ordinary shares, and future sales by GE may negatively affect the market price of these shares[140] - The company may face difficulties in enforcing judgments against its directors and officers in the United States due to its incorporation in the Netherlands[136] - The financial instability of aircraft manufacturers could impact the delivery of aircraft and engines on order, negatively affecting cash flow and operational results[123] Taxation and Financial Reporting -

The company may fail to qualify for benefits under income tax treaties, which could result in increased U.S. federal and state taxes[152] - The OECD's Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) initiative may lead to a global minimum effective tax rate of 15% for groups with global turnover exceeding €750 million, potentially increasing the effective tax rate[154]
