SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements concerning the conditions in our industry, our operations, our economic performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements relating to our business, operations, growth strategy and service development efforts and potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a “safe harbor” for certain forward-looking statements so long as such information is identified as forward-looking and is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the information. When used in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “may,” “might,” “should,” “estimate,” “project,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “intend,” “outlook,” “believe” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements and information. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of their dates. These forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions by our management that, although we believe to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain and subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, those in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on
March 12, 2020
, this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
, and our other reports filed with the SEC. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as otherwise required by law. Reference is also made to such risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

WILLIS LEASE FINANCE CORPORATION
AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2020
(Unaudited)
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to the “Company”, “WLFC”, “we”, “us” or “our” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Willis Lease Finance Corporation and its subsidiaries
.
1.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies of the Company were described in Note 1 to the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
.
(a)
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Therefore, they do not include all information and footnotes normally included in annual consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2019 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contain all adjustments (consisting principally of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income, statements of comprehensive income, statements of redeemable preferred stock and shareholders' equity and statements of cash flows for such interim periods presented. Additionally, operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for a full year.
In accordance with GAAP, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. In preparing these financial statements, management has made its best estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality. These estimates and judgments are based on historical experience and other assumptions that management believes are reasonable and the inputs into management's estimates and judgment consider the economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's critical and significant accounting estimates. However, application of these accounting policies involves the exercise of judgment and use of assumptions as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The significant estimates made in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include certain assumptions related to intangible assets, long-lived assets, equipment held for sale and estimated income taxes. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. Given the uncertainty in the rapidly changing market and economic conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact to its business, results of operations and financial condition.
(b)
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, including VIEs, where the Company is the primary beneficiary in accordance with consolidation guidance. The Company first evaluates all entities in which it has an economic interest to determine whether for accounting purposes the entity is either a VIE or a voting interest entity. If the entity is a VIE, the Company consolidates the financial statements of that entity if it is the primary beneficiary of such entity's activities. If the entity is a voting interest entity, the Company consolidates the entity when it has a majority of voting interests in such entity. Intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
(c) Risks and Uncertainties
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has temporarily closed its headquarters and other offices, required its employees and contractors to predominately work remotely, and implemented travel restrictions, all of which represent a significant disruption in how the Company operates its business. The operations of the Company's partners and customers have likewise been disrupted. The worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity. While the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, it has already had an adverse effect on the global economy and the ultimate societal and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown. In particular, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the airline
10
Table of Contents
industry and has resulted in a dramatic reduction in demand for air travel domestically and abroad, which is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Dramatically lower demand for air travel in turn presents significant risks to the Company, not all of which the Company is able to fully evaluate or even to foresee at the current time, and could negatively impact collections of accounts receivable, cause the Company's lessee customers to not enter into new leases, reduce spending from new and existing customers for leases or spare parts or equipment, lower usage fees, cause some of the Company’s customers to go out of business, and limit the ability of the Company’s personnel to travel to customers and potential customers, all of which could adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, and financial condition. While significant uncertainty exists as to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity and capital resources, as of the date of this report, we believe our cash liquidity, equity base, internally generated funds and existing debt facilities are sufficient to maintain our level of operations through the next twelve months. Due to the impact of recent events, including challenges from declines in market conditions, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis during the second quarter of 2020. The results of the analysis indicated the carrying values of
two
engines were in excess of their respective fair value, and the Company therefore recorded an additional
$
0.5
million
impairment associated with these
two
engines. Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, the Company has, in certain situations, agreed to rent concessions which resulted in a total reduction to rent revenues of
$
3.1
million
during the second quarter of 2020. The rent concessions provide lessees with payment deferral options or reduced rent, where the revised cash flows are substantially the same or less (i.e., the rights of the lessor and obligations of the lessee have not substantially increased) as the original lease agreements. As such, the modifications to lease agreements qualify for the COVID-19 practical expedient to account for the rent concessions outside of the modification framework.
Other than what has been reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance related to the COVID-19 pandemic that would require it to update its estimates or judgments or adjust the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may be material to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted by the Company
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2020-03”). The ASU improves a variety of codification topics by eliminating inconsistencies and providing clarifications making the codification easier to apply. The conforming amendments are effective upon issuance and did not materially impact our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, "Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848), Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting", which provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Among other things, for all types of hedging relationships, the guidance allows an entity to change the reference rate and other critical terms related to reference rate reform without having to remeasure the value or reassess a previous accounting determination. The amendments in this guidance should be applied on a prospective basis and, for companies with a fiscal year ending December 31, are effective from January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. When the transition occurs, the Company expects to apply this expedient to its existing debt instruments and interest rate swaps that reference LIBOR, and to any other new transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate that is discontinued, through December 31, 2022. The adoption of this ASU did not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements To Be Adopted by the Company
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 revises the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss methodology to an expected loss methodology. ASU 2016-13 affects trade receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” This ASU clarifies receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments.” This ASU clarifies various scoping and other issues arising from ASU 2016-13. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, “Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments.” This ASU improves the Codification and amends the interaction of Topic 842 and Topic 326. The amendments in this ASU are effective for the Company on January 1, 2023, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this accounting standard update effective January 1, 2023. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” (“ASU 2019-12”). ASU 2019-12 simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740. ASU 2019-12 also improves consistent application of and simplifies GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. This ASU is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company plans to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2021 and is currently evaluating the potential impact adoption will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

The Company recognized a
$
4.7
million
loss on debt extinguishment upon the repayment of the WEST II Series A 2012 term notes in March 2020.
Virtually all of the above debt requires ongoing compliance with certain financial covenants, including debt/equity ratios, minimum tangible net worth and minimum interest coverage ratios, and other eligibility criteria including customer and geographic concentration restrictions. The Company also is required to comply with certain negative financial covenants such as prohibitions on liens, advances, change in business, sales of assets, dividends and stock repurchases. These covenants are tested either monthly or quarterly and the Company was in full compliance with all financial covenant requirements at
June 30, 2020
.

Derivative Instruments
The Company periodically holds interest rate derivative instruments to mitigate exposure to changes in interest rates, predominantly one-month LIBOR, with
$
559.7
million
and
$
404.3
million
of variable rate borrowings at
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, respectively. As a matter of policy, management does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. As of
June 30, 2020
, the Company has
two
interest rate swap agreements.
One
interest rate swap agreement was entered into during 2016 which has a notional outstanding amount of
$
100.0
million
, with a remaining term of
10
months as of
June 30, 2020
. During 2019, the Company entered into
one
additional fixed-rate interest swap agreement which has a notional outstanding amount of
$
100.0
million
, with a remaining term of
48
months as of
June 30, 2020
. The derivative instruments were designated as cash flow hedges and recorded at fair value.
The Company evaluated the effectiveness of the swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with its variable rate debt and concluded at the swap inception dates that the swaps were highly effective in hedging that risk. The Company evaluates the effectiveness of the hedging relationships on an ongoing basis.
The Company estimates the fair value of derivative instruments using a discounted cash flow technique and has used creditworthiness inputs that corroborate observable market data when evaluating the Company’s and counterparty’s risk of non-performance. Valuation of the derivative instruments requires certain assumptions for underlying variables and the use of different assumptions would result in a different valuation. Management believes it has applied assumptions consistently during the period. The Company applies hedge accounting and accounts for the change in fair value of its cash flow hedges through other comprehensive income for all derivative instruments.
The net fair value of the interest rate swaps were net liabilities of
$
5.4
million
and
$
1.7
million
as of
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, respectively. The Company recorded interest expense of
$
0.6
million
and
$(
0.2
) million
during the three months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively, and
$
0.6
million
and
$(
0.4
) million
during the six months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively, from derivative instruments.

The effective portion of the change in fair value on a derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and is reclassified into earnings in the period during which the transaction being hedged affects earnings or it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur. The ineffective portion of the hedges, if any, is recorded in earnings in the current period. There was no ineffectiveness in the hedges for the period ended
June 30, 2020
.
Counterparty Credit Risk
The Company evaluates the creditworthiness of the counterparties under its hedging agreements. The counterparties for the interest rate swaps are large financial institutions that possessed investment grade credit ratings. Based on these ratings, the Company believes that the counterparties were credit-worthy and that their continuing performance under the hedging agreements was probable and did not require the counterparties to provide collateral or other security to the Company.
6.
Income Taxes
Income tax expense for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
was
$
4.4
million
and
$
8.6
million
, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2020
was
44.8
%
and
47.1
%
, respectively. Income tax expense for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2019
was
$
4.8
million
and
$
11.8
million
, respectively. The effective tax rate for the
three and six
months ended
June 30, 2019
was
22.1
%
and
23.7
%
, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate was predominantly due to the executive compensation exceeding $1.0 million as defined in IRS code Section 162(m).
The Company records tax expense or benefit for unusual or infrequent items discretely in the period in which they occur. The Company’s tax rate is subject to change based on changes in the mix of assets leased to domestic and foreign lessees, state taxes, the amount of executive compensation exceeding $1.0 million as defined in IRS code Section 162(m) and numerous other factors, including changes in tax law.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act permits employers to defer the deposit and payment of the employer’s portion of social security taxes that otherwise would be due between March 27, 2020, and December 31, 2020. The law permits employers instead to deposit half of these deferred payments by the end of 2021 and the other half by the end of 2022. The Company chose to take advantage of the relief provided and as of June 30, 2020 has
$
0.1
million
of deferred payroll tax liabilities.

Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced sale or liquidation. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of judgment, and therefore cannot be determined with precision.
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value and also establishes the following three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 - Inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures for financial instruments:
•
Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, and accounts payable
: The amounts reported in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate fair value due to their short-term nature.
•
Notes receivable
:
The carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding balance on its Notes receivable as of
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
was estimated to have a fair value of approximately
$
171.3
million
and
$
39.7
million
, respectively, based on the fair value of estimated future payments calculated using interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates at each period end (Level 2 inputs).
•
Debt obligations
: The carrying amount of the Company’s outstanding balance on its Debt obligations as of
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
was estimated to have a fair value of approximately
$
1,498.8
million
and
$
1,262.6
million
respectively, based on the fair value of estimated future payments calculated using interest rates that approximate prevailing market rates at each period end (Level 2 inputs).
Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
As of
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, the Company measured the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements based on Level 2 inputs, due to the usage of inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data. The Company estimates the fair value of derivative instruments using a discounted cash flow technique and has used creditworthiness inputs that corroborate observable market data evaluating the Company’s and counterparties’ risk of non-performance. The interest rate swaps had a net fair value of
$
5.4
million
and
$
1.7
million
representing a net liability as of
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, respectively. For the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
,
$
0.6
million
and
$(
0.4
) million
was recorded as interest expense.

Table of Contents
Assets Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The Company determines fair value of long-lived assets held and used, such as Equipment held for operating lease and Equipment held for sale, by reference to independent appraisals, quoted market prices (e.g. an offer to purchase) and other factors. An impairment charge is recorded when the carrying value of the asset exceeds its fair value.
The Company uses Level 2 inputs to measure write-downs of equipment held for lease and equipment held for sale.

Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income, less preferred stock dividends and accretion of preferred stock issuance costs, by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Treasury stock is excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share attributable to common stockholders is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock and dilutive securities outstanding during the period. Dilutive securities are common stock equivalents that are freely exercisable into common stock at less than market prices or otherwise dilute earnings if converted. The net effect of common stock equivalents is based on the incremental common stock that would be issued upon the vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method. Common stock equivalents are not included in diluted earnings per share when their inclusion is antidilutive. Additionally, redeemable preferred stock is not convertible and does not affect dilutive shares.
There were
0.2
million
anti-dilutive shares excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average earnings per common share for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
. There were
no
anti-dilutive shares during the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. There were

The significant stock compensation plans are described below.
The 2007 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) was adopted in May 2007. Under the 2007 Plan, a total of
2,800,000
shares were authorized for stock-based compensation available in the form of either restricted stock awards (“RSAs”) or stock options. The RSAs are subject to service-based vesting, typically between
one
and
three years
, where a specific period of continued employment must pass before an award vests. The expense associated with these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period, with forfeitures accounted for as they occur. For any vesting tranche of an award, the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized is equal to the portion of the grant‑date fair value of the award tranche that is actually vested at that date. As of
June 30, 2020
, there were
no
stock options outstanding under the 2007 Plan.
The 2018 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) was adopted in May 2018. Under the 2018 Plan, a total of
800,000
shares are authorized for stock-based compensation, plus the number of shares remaining under the 2007 Plan and any future forfeited awards under the 2007 Plan, in the form of RSAs. The RSAs are subject to service and performance-based vesting, typically between
one
and
three years
, where a specific period of continued employment or service must pass before an award vests. The expense associated with these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective vesting period, with forfeitures accounted for as they occur. For any vesting tranche of an award, the cumulative amount of compensation cost recognized is equal to the portion of the grant‑date fair value of the award tranche that is actually vested at that date.
As of
June 30, 2020
, the Company had granted
587,000
RSAs under the 2018 Plan and had
307,596
shares available for future issuance. The fair value of the restricted stock awards equaled the stock price at the grant date.

Under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), as amended and restated effective April 1, 2018,
325,000
shares of common stock have been reserved for issuance. Eligible employees may designate not more than
10
%
of their cash compensation to be deducted each pay period for the purchase of common stock under the ESPP. Participants may purchase not more than
1,000
shares or
$
25,000
of common stock in any one calendar year. Each January 31 and July 31 shares of common stock are purchased with the employees’ payroll deductions from the immediately preceding six months at a price per share of
85
%
of the lesser of the market price of the common stock on the purchase date or the market price of the common stock on the date of entry into an offering period. In the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
,
3,892
and
6,732
shares of common stock, respectively, were issued under the ESPP. The Company issues new shares through its transfer agent upon employee stock purchase.

Reportable Segments
The Company has
two
reportable segments: (i) Leasing and Related Operations which involves acquiring and leasing, primarily pursuant to operating leases, commercial aircraft, aircraft engines and other aircraft equipment and the selective purchase and resale of commercial aircraft engines and other aircraft equipment and other related businesses and (ii) Spare Parts Sales which involves the purchase and resale of after-market engine parts, whole engines, engine modules and portable aircraft components.
The Company evaluates the performance of each of the segments based on profit or loss after general and administrative expenses. While the Company believes there are synergies between the
two
business segments, the segments are managed separately because each requires different business strategies.
The following tables present a summary of the reportable segments (in thousands):

Overview
Our core business is acquiring and leasing commercial aircraft and aircraft engines and related aircraft equipment pursuant to operating leases, all of which we sometimes collectively refer to as “equipment.” As of
June 30, 2020
, all of our leases were operating leases with the exception of eight leases entered into during 2020 and two leases entered into during 2019 which are classified as notes receivable under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842. As of
June 30, 2020
, we had
71
lessees in
43
countries. Our portfolio is continually changing due to equipment acquisitions and sales. As of
June 30, 2020
, our
$1,653.7 million
equipment held for operating lease portfolio consisted of
264
engines,
10
aircraft,
10
other leased parts and equipment and
one
marine vessel. As of
June 30, 2020
, we also managed
402
engines, aircraft and related equipment on behalf of other parties.
Our wholly owned subsidiary Willis Asset Management Limited (“Willis Asset Management”) is focused on the engine management and consulting business. Willis Aeronautical Services, Inc. (“Willis Aero”) is a wholly-owned subsidiary whose primary focus is the sale of aircraft engine parts and materials through the acquisition or consignment of aircraft and engines.
We actively manage our portfolio and structure our leases to maximize the residual values of our leased assets. Our leasing business focuses on popular Stage IV commercial jet engines manufactured by CFMI, General Electric, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce and International Aero Engines. These engines are the most widely used engines in the world, powering Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier and Embraer aircraft.
COVID-19 Impact
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily closed our headquarters and other offices, required our employees and contractors to predominately work remotely, and implemented travel restrictions, all of which represent a significant disruption in how we operate our business. The operations of our partners and customers have likewise been disrupted. The worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity. While the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, such as the extent and effectiveness of containment actions, it has already had an adverse effect on the global economy and the ultimate societal and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown. In particular, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the airline industry that has resulted in a dramatic reduction in demand for air travel domestically and abroad, which is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. Dramatically lower demand for air travel in turn presents significant risks to our Company, not all of which we are able to fully evaluate or even to foresee at the current time, and could negatively impact collections of accounts receivable, cause our lessee customers to not enter into new leases, reduce spending from new and existing customers for leases or spare parts or equipment, lower usage fees, cause some of our customers to go out of business, and limit the ability of our personnel to travel to customers and potential customers, all of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Due to the impact of recent events, including challenges from declines in market conditions, the Company performed an interim impairment analysis during the second quarter of 2020. The results of the analysis indicated the carrying values of two engines were in excess of their respective fair value, and the Company therefore recorded an additional $0.5 million impairment associated with these two engines. Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, the Company has, in certain situations, agreed to rent concessions which resulted in a total reduction to rent revenues of $3.1 million during the second quarter of 2020.The COVID-19 pandemic is affecting our operations in the third quarter, and may continue to do so indefinitely thereafter, and to a lesser extent had an impact on our first and second quarter results as noted below.
The scope and nature of the impact of COVID-19 on the airline industry, and in turn our business, continue to evolve and the outcomes are uncertain. Given the uncertainty in the rapidly changing market and economic conditions related to COVID-19, we will continue to evaluate the nature and extent of the impact to our business and financial position. The ultimate extent of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our Company will depend on future developments, and such effects could exist for an extended period of time.

Lease Rent Revenue.
Lease rent revenue consists of rental income from long-term and short-term engine leases, aircraft leases, and other leased parts and equipment. Lease rent revenue
decreased
by
$6.6 million
, or
14.6%
, to
$38.5 million
in the three months ended
June 30, 2020
from
$45.0 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. The decrease is primarily due to lower average utilization and rent concessions given during the second quarter of 2020, directly related to impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, when compared to the prior year period. During the three months ended
June 30, 2020
, we purchased equipment (including capitalized costs) totaling
$1.3 million
, which consisted of other parts and equipment purchased for our lease portfolio. During the three months ended
June 30, 2019
, we purchased equipment (including capitalized costs) totaling
$53.1 million
, which primarily consisted of four engines purchased for our lease portfolio.
One customer accounted for 11.6% of total lease rent revenue during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and one customer accounted for 10.9% of total lease rent revenue during the
six
months ended
June 30, 2019
.
The aggregate net book value of equipment held for lease at
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, was
$1,653.7 million
and
$1,603.2 million
, respectively, an
increase
of
3.2%
due to the purchases of new engines. Average utilization (based on net book value) was approximately
86%
and 88% for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively.
Maintenance Reserve Revenue
. Maintenance reserve revenue
increased
$3.5 million
, or
13.3%
, to
$30.0 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
from
$26.5 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. Long-term maintenance revenue, which is influenced by end of lease compensation, was
$27.2 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$6.7 million
in the comparable prior period. "Non-reimbursable" maintenance reserve revenue is directly influenced by on lease engine flight hours and cycles. Engines out on lease with “non-reimbursable” usage fees generated
$2.8 million
of short-term maintenance revenues compared to
$19.8 million
in the comparable prior period, resulting from the decline in global flight traffic.
Spare Parts and Equipment Sales
. Spare parts and equipment sales
decreased
by
$11.7 million
, to
$2.9 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$14.6 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. Spare parts sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
were
$2.9 million
compared to
$14.3 million
in the same period of
2019
. The decline in spare parts sales paralleled the slowdown in global flight traffic, which was directly affected by the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. There were
no
equipment sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$0.3 million
for the sale of one equipment package in the comparable period of
2019
.
(Loss) Gain on Sale of Leased Equipment.
During the three months ended
June 30, 2020
, we sold three engines and two airframes from the lease portfolio for a net loss of
$(0.7) million
. D
uring the three months ended
June 30, 2019
, we sold five engines and one airframe from the lease portfolio for a net gain of
$5.1 million
.
Other Revenue
. Other revenue
decreased
by
$0.2 million
, to
$4.4 million
in the three months ended
June 30, 2020
from
$4.6 million
in the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. The decrease in the
second
quarter of
2020
compared to the prior year period primarily reflects the decrease in fees earned related to the servicing of engines for the Willis Mitsui & Company Engine Support Limited (“WMES”) lease portfolio.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense.
Depreciation and amortization expense
increased
by
$3.7 million
, or
18.6%
, to
$23.8 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$20.0 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. The increase reflects the
24
Table of Contents
larger net book value of the lease portfolio, from the purchase of other parts and equipment, and the change in mix of portfolio to new generation engines, as compared to the prior year period.
Cost of Spare Parts and Equipment Sales
. Cost of spare parts and equipment sales
decreased
by
$9.9 million
, or
79.0%
, to
$2.6 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$12.6 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. Cost of spare parts sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
was
$2.6 million
compared to
$12.3 million
in the comparable prior year period due to lower spare parts sales driven by lower industry wide demand resulting from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. There was
no
cost of equipment sales for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$0.3 million
for the prior year period.
Write-down of Equipment.
Write-down of equipment was
$7.0 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
, primarily reflecting the write-down of five engines, two of which resulted from the Company's interim impairment analysis which indicated the carrying values of two engines were in excess of their respective fair value by $0.5 million. Write-down of equipment was
$3.3 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
, reflecting the write-down of two engines.
General and Administrative Expenses.
General and administrative expenses
decreased
by
$6.2 million
, or
28.8%
, to
$15.2 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$21.4 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. The decrease primarily reflects no bonus accrual in the current period due to year to date operating performance as well as the effect of reduced business travel spending and the procurement of outside services.
Technical Expense.
Technical expense consists of the non-capitalized cost of engine repairs, engine thrust rental fees, outsourced technical support services, sublease engine rental expense, engine storage and freight costs. Technical expense
increased
by
$0.1 million
, or
4.3%
, to
$1.5 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$1.4 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. The increase primarily reflects an increase of
$0.2 million
in technical repairs partly offset by a decrease of
$0.1 million
in technical support services.
Net Finance Costs.
Net finance costs
decreased
$0.9 million
to
$16.1 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$17.0 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest expense as a result of lower interest rates in 2020 as compared to the prior year period. Debt obligations outstanding, net of unamortized debt issuance costs, as of
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, were
$1,520.2 million
and
$1,285.6 million
, respectively. After adjustment for interest rate derivative instruments,
$353.0 million
and
$297.0 million
as of
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively, were tied to one-month LIBOR. As of
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, we held $200 million and $100 million of interest rate derivative instruments on this debt. As of
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, one-month LIBOR was
0.16%
and
2.39%
respectively.
Income Tax Expense.
Income tax expense was
$4.4 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2020
compared to
$4.8 million
for the three months ended
June 30, 2019
. The effective tax rate for the
second
quarter of
2020
was
44.8%
compared to
22.1%
in the prior year period. The increase in the effective tax rate was predominantly due to Section 162(m) limitation.

Financial Position, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
At
June 30, 2020
, the Company had
$171.4 million
of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, of which
$100.1 million
was unrestricted. We fund our operations primarily from cash provided by our leasing activities. We finance our growth through borrowings secured by our equipment lease portfolio. Cash of approximately
$690.2 million
and
$169.1 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively, was derived from our borrowing activities. In these same time periods,
$419.5 million
and
$220.7 million
, respectively, was used to pay down related debt.
While significant uncertainty exists as to the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity and capital resources, as of the date of this report, we believe our cash liquidity, equity base, internally generated funds and existing debt facilities are sufficient to maintain our level of operations through the next twelve months. We believe that should the COVID-19 pandemic continue to disrupt the airline industry for a prolonged period, the cash flow pressures felt by our lessee customers due to such disruption could cause reductions to our cash flows from operations. A decline in the level of such internally generated funds could result if the amount of equipment off-lease increases, if customers defer or default on lease or other payments due to financial hardship, there is a decrease in availability under our existing debt facilities, or there is a significant step-up in borrowing costs. Such decline would impair our ability to sustain our level of operations. We continue to discuss additions to our capital base with our commercial and investment banks. If we are not able to access additional capital, our ability to continue to grow our asset base consistent with historical trends will be impaired and our future growth limited to that which can be funded from internally generated capital.
For any interest rate swaps that we enter into, we will be exposed to risk in the event of non-performance of the interest rate hedge counter-parties. We anticipate that we may hedge additional amounts of our floating rate debt in the future.
Cash Flows Discussion
Cash flows
provided by
operating activities was
$43.0 million
and
$91.5 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively.
Cash flows from operations are driven significantly by payments made under our lease agreements, which comprise lease revenue, security deposits and maintenance reserves, and are offset by interest expense and general and administrative costs. Cash received as maintenance reserve payments for some of our engines on lease are partially restricted by our debt arrangements. The lease revenue stream, in the short-term, is at fixed rates while a portion of our debt is at variable rates. If interest rates increase, it is unlikely we could increase lease rates in the short term and this would cause a reduction in our earnings and operating cash flows. Revenue and maintenance reserves are also affected by the amount of equipment off lease. Approximately
84%
and 86%, by book value, of our assets were on-lease as of
June 30, 2020
and
December 31, 2019
, respectively. The average utilization rate (based on net book value) for the
six
months
26
Table of Contents
ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
was approximately
86%
and 88%, respectively. If there is an increase in off-lease rates or deterioration in lease rates that are not offset by reductions in interest rates, there will be a negative impact on earnings and cash flows from operations.
Cash flows
used in
investing activities was
$193.7 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and primarily reflected
$136.0 million

$77.0 million
for the purchase of equipment held for operating lease (including capitalized costs and prepaid deposits made in the period), partly offset by
$17.7 million
in proceeds from sales of equipment (net of selling expenses). Cash flows
used in
investing activities was
$24.5 million
in the
six
months ended
June 30, 2019
, and primarily reflected $145.3 million for the purchase of equipment held for operating lease (including capitalized costs and prepaid deposits made in the period) and $30.8 million related to two leases entered into during the first quarter of 2019 which are classified as notes receivables under ASU 2016-02, Lease (Topic 842), partly offset by $158.0 million in proceeds from sales of equipment (net of selling expenses).
Cash flows
provided by
financing activities was
$258.5 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and primarily reflected
$690.2 million
in
proceeds from debt obligations, partially offset by
$419.5 million
in principal payments and
$8.2 million
in debt issuance and prepayment costs. Cash flows
used in
financing activities was
$60.9 million
for the
six
months ended
June 30, 2019
and primarily reflected
$220.7 million
in principal payments and
$3.6 million
in share repurchases, partly offset by
$169.1 million
in proceeds from the issuance of debt obligations.
Preferred Stock Dividends
The Company’s Series A-1 Preferred Stock and Series A-2 Preferred Stock accrue quarterly dividends at the rate per annum of 6.5% per share. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, the Company paid total dividends of
$1.6 million
, respectively, on the Series A-1 and Series A-2 Preferred Stock.
Debt Obligations and Covenant Compliance
In March 2020, WLFC and its direct, wholly-owned subsidiary Willis Engine Structured Trust V (“WEST V”) (formerly known as Willis Engine Securitization Trust II (“WEST II”)), closed its offering of $366.2 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate notes (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued in three series, with the Series A Notes issued in an aggregate principal amount of $303.0 million, the Series B Notes issued in an aggregate principal amount of $42.1 million and the Series C Notes issued in an aggregate principal amount of $21.1 million. The Notes are secured by, among other things, WEST V’s direct and indirect ownership interests in a portfolio of 54 aircraft engines and three airframes, including 25 aircraft engines and three airframes which WEST V will acquire from WLFC pursuant to an asset purchase agreement.
The Series A Notes have a fixed coupon of 3.228%, an expected maturity of approximately eight years and a final maturity date of March 15, 2045, the Series B Notes have a fixed coupon of 4.212%, an expected maturity of approximately eight years and a final maturity date of March 15, 2045 and the Series C Notes have a fixed coupon of 6.657%, an expected maturity of approximately eight years and a final maturity date of March 15, 2045. The Series A Notes were issued at a price of 99.99859% of par, the Series B Notes were issued at a price of 99.99493% of par and the Series C Notes were issued at a price of 99.99918% of par. Principal on the Notes is payable monthly to the extent of available cash in accordance with a priority of payments included in the indenture for the Notes. Proceeds from asset sales by WEST V will be used, at WEST V's election subject to certain conditions, to reduce WEST V's debt or to acquire other engines or airframes.
The assets of WEST V are not available to satisfy the Company’s obligations other than the obligations specific to WEST V. WEST V is consolidated for financial statement presentation purposes. WEST V’s ability to make distributions and pay dividends to the Company is subject to the prior payments of its debt and other obligations and WEST V’s maintenance of adequate reserves and capital. Under WEST V, cash is collected in a restricted account, which is used to service the debt and any remaining amounts, after debt service and defined expenses, are distributed to the Company. Additionally, a portion of maintenance reserve payments and lease security deposits are formulaically accumulated in restricted accounts and are available to fund future maintenance events and to secure lease payments, respectively. The WEST V indenture requires that a minimum threshold of maintenance reserve and security deposit balances be held in restricted cash accounts.
We recognized a
$4.7 million
loss on debt extinguishment upon the repayment of the WEST II Series A 2012 term notes in March 2020.

At
June 30, 2020
, debt obligations consisted of loans totaling
$1,520.2 million
, net of unamortized issuance costs, payable with interest rates varying between approximately
1.9%
% and
6.7%
%. Substantially all of our assets are pledged to secure our obligations to creditors. For further information on our debt instruments, see Note 4 “Debt Obligations” in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Virtually all of our debt requires our ongoing compliance with certain financial covenants including debt/equity ratios, minimum tangible net worth and minimum interest coverage ratios, and other eligibility criteria including customer and geographic concentration restrictions. Under our revolving credit facility, we can borrow no more than 85% of an engine’s net book value and 65% of an airframe’s, spare parts inventory’s or other assets net book value. Therefore, we must have other available funds for the balance of the purchase price of any new equipment to be purchased. Our revolving credit facility, certain indentures and other debt related agreements also contain cross-default provisions. If we do not comply with the covenants or eligibility requirements, we may not be permitted to borrow additional funds and accelerated payments may become necessary. Additionally, much of the debt is secured by engines and aircraft, and to the extent that engines or aircraft are sold, repayment of that portion of the debt could be required.
At
June 30, 2020
, we were in compliance with the covenants specified in our revolving credit facility, including the Interest Coverage Ratio requirement of at least 2.25 to 1.00, and the Total Leverage Ratio requirement to remain below 4.50 to 1.00. The Interest Coverage Ratio, as defined in the credit facility, is the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and other one-time charges to consolidated interest expense. The Total Leverage Ratio, as defined in the credit facility, is the ratio of total indebtedness to tangible net worth. At
June 30, 2020
, we were in compliance with the covenants specified in the WEST III, WEST IV and WEST V indentures, servicing and other debt related agreements.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of
June 30, 2020
, we had no material off-balance sheet arrangements or obligations that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, change in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources that are material to investors.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Repayments of our gross debt obligations primarily consist of scheduled installments due under term loans and are funded by the use of unrestricted cash reserves and from cash flows from ongoing operations. The table below summarizes our contractual commitments at

From time to time we enter into contractual commitments to purchase engines directly from original equipment manufacturers. As of the date of this report we have purchased three new LEAP-1B engines and are currently committed to purchasing 17 additional new LEAP-1B engines. Our purchase agreements generally contain terms that allow the Company to defer or cancel purchase commitments in certain situations. These engines are solely compatible with the Boeing 737 Max aircraft, the entire fleet of which is currently grounded worldwide. Our expectation is that we will be able to place these engines on lease upon the re-entry of the Boeing 737 Max aircraft into service.
We have estimated the interest payments due under debt obligations by applying the interest rates applicable at
June 30, 2020
to the remaining debt, adjusted for the estimated debt repayments identified in the table above. Actual interest payments made will vary due to changes in the rates for one-month and three-month LIBOR.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The most recent adopted accounting pronouncements and accounting pronouncements to be adopted by the Company are described in Note 1 to our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure is that of interest rate risk. A change in LIBOR rates would affect our cost of borrowing. Increases in interest rates, which may cause us to raise the implicit rates charged to our customers, could result in a reduction in demand for our leases. Alternatively, we may price our leases based on market rates so as to keep the fleet on-lease and suffer a decrease in our operating margin due to interest costs that we are unable to pass on to our customers. As of
June 30, 2020
,
$559.7 million
of our outstanding debt is variable rate debt. We estimate that for every one percent increase or decrease in interest rates on our variable rate debt, net of our interest rate swaps, our annual interest expense would increase or decrease by
$3.6 million
.
We hedge a portion of our borrowings from time to time, effectively fixing the rate of these borrowings. This hedging activity helps protect us against reduced margins on longer term fixed rate leases. Such hedging activities may limit our ability to participate in the benefits of any decrease in interest rates but may also protect us from increases in interest rates. Furthermore, since lease rates tend to vary with interest rate levels, it is possible that we can adjust lease rates for the effect of change in interest rates at the termination of leases. Other financial assets and liabilities are at fixed rates.
We are also exposed to currency devaluation risk. Substantially all of our leases require payment in U.S. dollars. During the
six
months ended
June 30, 2020
and
2019
, respectively, 79% of our lease rent revenues came from non-United States domiciled lessees. If these lessees’ currency devalues against the U.S. dollar, the lessees could potentially encounter difficulty in making their lease payments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a)
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
In accordance with Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”) we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness and design of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, our CEO and CFO have concluded that as of
June 30, 2020
our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is
28
Table of Contents
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)
Inherent Limitations on Controls.
Management, including the CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent or detect all error and fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain assumptions and can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that its objectives will be met. Further, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
(c)
Changes in internal controls over financial reporting.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our fiscal quarter ended
June 30, 2020
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Investors should carefully consider the risks in the “Risk Factors” in Part 1: Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2019
filed with the SEC on
March 12, 2020
, our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 and our other filings with the SEC. These risks are not the only ones facing the Company. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also impair our business operations. Any of these risks could adversely affect our business, cash flows, financial condition and results of operations. The trading price of our common stock could fluctuate due to any of these risks, and investors may lose all or part of their investment. In assessing these risks, investors should also refer to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk factor below.
Our business has been and will continue to be negatively impacted by the recent COVID-19 outbreak, and COVID-19 related impacts could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business, operating results and financial condition.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have temporarily closed our headquarters and other offices, required our employees and contractors to predominately work remotely, and implemented travel restrictions, all of which represent a significant disruption in how we operate our business. The operations of our partners and customers have likewise been disrupted. The worldwide spread of the COVID-19 virus has resulted in a global slowdown of economic activity. While the duration and extent of the COVID-19 pandemic depends on future developments that cannot be accurately predicted at this time, it has already had an adverse effect on the global economy and the ultimate societal and economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic remains unknown. In particular, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions to the airline industry that could persist and result in reduced demand for air travel for the foreseeable future. We have experienced, and expect to continue to experience, diminished demand for leases of our engines and aircraft as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has significantly disrupted domestic and international passenger airline travel. These COVID-19 pandemic-related impacts have, in the aggregate, had a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. For example, in the second quarter of fiscal 2020, our lease rent revenue decreased by $6.6 million, or 14.6%, and our spare parts and equipment sales declined by $11.6 million, or 80%, compared to the same period in fiscal 2019. We also wrote down $0.5 million with respect to equipment as a result of impacts from COVID-19. We are unable to predict the extent or duration of these impacts as they will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted at this time, such as the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, the incidents and extent of outbreaks, the availability and effectiveness of treatments for COVID-19, and the timing and extent that passenger airline travel will increase and recover to levels before the pandemic. Potential challenges for our Company include further declines in the values of aircraft, engines and related aircraft equipment in our portfolio, lower market rents for engines and aircraft offered for lease by us, and continued and further reductions in demand by potential and existing customers for additional or replacement engines offered by us. In addition, the significant cash flow issues faced by airlines, including some of our customers, may cause some of our customers to be unable to timely meet their lease obligations to us or go out of business. Any nonpayment or late payment of lease payments by a significant lessee or combination of lessees could in turn impose limits on our ability to fund our ongoing operations as well as cause defaults under our debt obligations. Even after the COVID-19 pandemic has subsided, we may experience materially adverse impacts to our business due to a lingering economic recession or any resulting depression. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets which has and may continue to adversely impact the market value of our common stock and may adversely affect our ability to access capital markets. In addition, COVID-19 related impacts may also have the effect of heightening other risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
