TWO NEW AIRCRAFT SALE AND LEASEBACK WITH THOMAS COOK



Avation PLC, (LSE: AVAP) the commercial passenger aircraft leasing company, is pleased to announce that it has secured a new lessee for two new large commercial aircraft.



The Company has entered into conditional agreements for the purchase and lease of two new Airbus A321 aircraft with Thomas Cook Airlines Limited, a member of the Thomas Cook Group. These two aircraft are comprised of a part of Thomas Cook's previously announced fleet renewal program. The Aircraft are due to be delivered new from Airbus in February and March 2016. The lease agreements are conditional on the sale of the aircraft to Avation and the financing thereof. The term of the leases is initially 12 years with further 6 year options, exercisable by Thomas Cook, with the revenue from the operating leases at typical commercial lease rates.



Avation PLC's Executive Chairman, Jeff Chatfield said, "We welcome another member of the Thomas Cook Group to our increasingly diversified list of airline customers.



"We are pleased that Thomas Cook has selected Avation PLC as lessor to participate in a sale and lease back transaction for these two new aircraft, the first purchase of two brand new jet aircraft by the Company. Avation seeks 12 year leases due to the predictability of the revenue stream over a meaningful time scale. This transaction represents an approximately $100m investment. Avation has committed to the sale and leaseback transaction along with an aircraft pre-delivery finance program until delivery in 2016. Avation is willing to consider Sale and Lease backs from major commercial airlines and also to provide commercial airlines with pre-delivery finance."

MARK SLATER: Six undervalued shares with the potential to become takeover targets

Avation

Avation, an aircraft leasing business, is part of the supply side solution helping to satisfy the insatiable global demand for air travel, which according to Airbus has doubled every 15 years in the past and is expected to double again in the next 15.

Avation is still sub-scale, albeit according to management the fourth most profitable aircraft leasing company in its industry. At the end of June this year it still only had a modest fleet size of 25 aircraft. However, this is set to grow rapidly. The number is set to increase by 44% to 36 during the second half of 2015 and the company has options over aircraft which, subject to funding, could subsequently take this to more substantial figure of over 60.



DIY investing

The company is still modestly rated on a number of measures. According to the house broker its net book value at 1.1x falling to 1.0x in 2015 is below the industry average of 1.3x. And Avation’s book value ignores its valuable options to buy new aircraft that are worth perhaps 30% of the market capitalisation. Avation also represents good value on a forward price to earnings ratio of 7.6x, which is about half that of its US peers (Source: Wells Fargo Leasing Letter) and is on an attractive price earnings growth ratio, or PEG, of 0.35 (Source: Company REFS 23.09.14).

In addition to being an attractive investment in its own right, it is not hard to imagine larger industry players showing an interest in buying Avation as a bolt-on acquisition once its fleet size starts achieving critical mass and heads towards 100. This adds some spice to the shareholding.
