Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of FTAI Aviation Ltd.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FTAI Aviation Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 27, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Recognition of Maintenance Revenue for Aircraft Leases
Description of the Matter As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company recognizes maintenance revenue for aircraft leases related to the portion of maintenance payments received from lessees that are not expected to be reimbursed for maintenance events. Revenue related to maintenance on leased aircraft is recorded as a component of maintenance revenue, which totaled $148.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022, as disclosed in Note 10.
Auditing maintenance revenue related to aircraft leases was complex and highly judgmental due to the significant estimation involved in projecting the timing of future major maintenance events. In particular, the estimate is sensitive to the mean time between removal (MTBR) assumption, which is affected by historical usage patterns and overall industry, market and economic conditions. Significant changes to this assumption could have a material effect on the amount of maintenance revenue recognized in the period.
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s maintenance revenue recognition process, including controls over management’s review of the estimated timing of major maintenance events as described above.
To test maintenance revenue for aircraft leases, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the Company’s revenue recognition methodology and testing the MTBR assumption described above. For example, we compared the MTBR assumption to third-party estimates and assessed management’s retrospective review of timing of estimated maintenance events to actual results to assess the historical accuracy of the MTBR assumption and contrary evidence, if any. We performed testing on maintenance revenue due to changes in timing of maintenance events and the impact, if any, on maintenance revenue recognized in the period. We also involved our valuation specialists to assist in our evaluation of the appropriateness of the MTBR assumption.

1. ORGANIZATION
FTAI Aviation Ltd. (“we”, “us”, “our” or the “Company” and formerly “Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC”) is a Cayman Islands exempted company which through its subsidiaries owns, leases, and sells aviation equipment and also develops and manufactures, through a joint venture, and repairs and sells, through exclusivity arrangements, aftermarket components for aircraft engines. Additionally, we own and lease offshore energy equipment. We have two reportable segments, (i) Aviation Leasing and (ii) Aerospace Products (see Note 14).
On August 1, 2022, the Company completed the spin-off of its infrastructure business into an independent publicly traded company. Accordingly, the operating results of, and costs to separate, the infrastructure business are reported in Net loss from discontinued operations, net of income taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. In addition, the related assets and liabilities held prior to the spin-off are reported as Assets and Liabilities of Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All amounts and disclosures included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements reflect only the Company's continuing operations unless otherwise noted. For additional information, see Note 3, "Discontinued Operations."
On November 10, 2022, the Company completed a reverse merger transaction pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) between Fortress Transportation and Infrastructure Investors LLC (“FTAI”) and the Company and the parties thereto, with FTAI becoming a subsidiary of the Company. This reverse merger represents a transaction between entities under common control. Upon merger completion, FTAI’s shareholders received one share of the Company’s ordinary shares, Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares in exchange for each share of FTAI’s common shares, Series A Preferred Shares, Series B Preferred Shares and Series C Preferred Shares, respectively, with the new Shares of FTAI Aviation having substantially similar rights and privileges as the respective FTAI shares being converted. All exchanges were completed without any further action from the shareholders.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Accounting —The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and include the accounts of us and our subsidiaries.
Principles of Consolidation —We consolidate all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest and control over significant operating decisions, as well as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we are the primary beneficiary. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The ownership interest of other investors in consolidated subsidiaries is recorded as non-controlling interest.
We use the equity method of accounting for investments in entities in which we exercise significant influence, but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation. Under the equity method, we record our proportionate share of the underlying net income (loss) of these entities as well as the proportionate interest in adjustments to other comprehensive income (loss).
Use of Estimates —The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Risks and Uncertainties —In the normal course of business, we encounter several significant types of economic risk including credit, market, and capital market risks. Credit risk is the risk of the inability or unwillingness of a lessee, customer, or derivative counterparty to make contractually required payments or to fulfill its other contractual obligations. Market risk reflects the risk of a downturn or volatility in the underlying industry segments in which we operate, which could adversely impact the pricing of the services offered by us or a lessee’s or customer’s ability to make payments, increase the risk of unscheduled lease terminations and depress lease rates and the value of our leasing equipment or operating assets. Capital market risk is the risk that we are unable to obtain capital at reasonable rates to fund the growth of our business or to refinance existing debt facilities. We, through our subsidiaries, also conduct operations outside of the United States; such international operations are subject to the same risks as those associated with our United States operations as well as additional risks, including unexpected changes in regulatory requirements, heightened risk of political and economic instability, potentially adverse tax consequences and the burden of complying with foreign laws. We do not have significant exposure to foreign currency risk as all of our leasing arrangements are denominated in U.S. dollars.
Cash and Cash Equivalents —We consider all highly liquid short-term investments with a maturity of 90 days or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash —Restricted cash consists of funds required for the Company’s investment in iAero Thrust as described in subsequent events (Note 17).
Inventory —We hold aircraft engine modules, spare parts and used material inventory for trading and to support operations. Inventory is carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value on our consolidated balance sheets.

Major improvements and modifications incurred in connection with the acquisition of property, plant and equipment and leasing equipment that are required to get the asset ready for initial service are capitalized and depreciated over the remaining life of the asset. Project costs of major additions and betterments, including capitalizable engineering costs and other costs directly related to the development or construction of project, are capitalized and depreciation commences once it is placed into service. Interest costs directly related to and incurred during the construction period of property, plant and equipment are capitalized.
We review our depreciation policies on a regular basis to determine whether changes have taken place that would suggest that a change in our depreciation policies, useful lives of our equipment or the assigned residual values is warranted.
For planned major maintenance or component overhaul activities for aviation equipment off lease, the cost of such major maintenance or component overhaul event is capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period until the next maintenance or component overhaul event is required.
Our offshore energy vessels are required to be drydocked periodically for recertifications or major repairs and maintenance that cannot be performed while the vessels are operating. Normal repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. We capitalize the costs associated with the drydockings and amortize them on a straight-line basis over the period between drydockings, usually during a 60 month time span.
In accounting for leasing equipment, we make estimates about the expected useful lives, residual values and the fair value of acquired in-place leases and acquired maintenance liabilities (for aviation equipment). In making these estimates, we rely upon observable market data for the same or similar types of equipment and, in the case of aviation equipment, our own estimates with respect to a lessee’s anticipated utilization of the aircraft or engine. When we acquire leasing equipment subject to an in-place lease, determining the fair value of the in-place lease requires us to make assumptions regarding the current fair values of leases for identical or similar equipment, in order to determine if the in-place lease is within a fair value range of current lease rates. If a lease is below or above the range of current lease rates, the resulting lease discount or premium is recognized as a lease intangible and amortized into lease income over the remaining term of the lease.
Capitalized Interest —The interest cost associated with major development and construction projects are capitalized and included in the cost of the project. Interest capitalization ceases once a project is substantially complete or no longer undergoing construction activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalized interest of $ 2.7 million , $ 2.4 million and $ 1.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Repairs and Maintenance —Repair and maintenance costs that do not extend the lives of the assets are expensed as incurred. Our repairs and maintenance expense was $ 7.2 million , $ 3.2 million and $ 1.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and are included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets —We perform a recoverability assessment of each of our long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances, or indicators, indicate that the carrying amount or net book value of an asset may not be recoverable. Indicators may include, but are not limited to, a significant lease restructuring or early lease termination; significant traffic decline; a significant change in market conditions; or the introduction of newer technology aircraft, vessels or engines. When performing a recoverability assessment, we measure whether the estimated future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset exceeds its net book value. The undiscounted cash flows consist of cash flows from currently contracted leases and contracts, future projected leases, transition costs, estimated down time and estimated residual or scrap values. In the event that an asset does not meet the recoverability test, the carrying value of the asset will be adjusted to fair value resulting in an impairment charge.
Management develops the assumptions used in the recoverability analysis based on its knowledge of active contracts, current and future expectations of the global demand for a particular asset and historical experience in the leasing markets, as well as information received from third party industry sources. The factors considered in estimating the undiscounted cash flows are impacted by changes in future periods due to changes in contracted lease rates, residual values, economic conditions, technology, demand for a particular asset type and other factors.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
Security Deposits —Our operating leases generally require the lessee to pay a security deposit or provide a letter of credit. Security deposits are held until specified return dates stipulated in the lease or lease expiration.
Maintenance Payments —Typically, under an operating lease of aircraft, the lessee is responsible for performing all maintenance and is generally required to make maintenance payments to us for heavy maintenance, overhaul or replacement of certain high-value components of the aircraft or engine. These maintenance payments are based on hours or cycles of utilization or on calendar time, depending on the component, and are generally required to be made monthly in arrears. If a lessee is making monthly maintenance payments, we would typically be obligated to reimburse the lessee for costs they incur for heavy maintenance, overhaul or replacement of certain high-value components to the extent of maintenance payments received in respect of the specific maintenance event, usually shortly following the completion of the relevant work.
We record the portion of maintenance payments paid by the lessee that are expected to be reimbursed as maintenance deposit liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Reimbursements made to the lessee upon the receipt of evidence of qualifying maintenance work are recorded against the maintenance deposit liability.
In certain acquired leases, we or the lessee may be obligated to make a payment to the other party at lease termination based on redelivery conditions stipulated at the inception of the lease. When the lessee is required to return the aircraft in an improved maintenance condition, we record a maintenance right asset, as a component of other assets, for the estimated value of the end-of-life maintenance payment at acquisition. We recognize payments received as end-of-lease compensation adjustments, within lease income or as a reduction to the maintenance right asset, when payment is received or collectability is assured. In the event we are required to make payments at the end of the lease for redelivery conditions, amounts are accrued as additional maintenance liability and expensed when we are obligated and can reasonably estimate such payments.
Lease Incentives and Amortization —Lease incentives, which include lease acquisition costs related to reconfiguration of the aircraft cabin, other lessee specific modifications and other direct costs, are capitalized and amortized as a reduction of lease income over the primary term of the lease, assuming no lease renewals.
Intangibles and amortization —Intangibles include the value of acquired favorable and unfavorable leases.
In accounting for acquired leasing equipment, we make estimates about the fair value of the acquired leases. In determining the fair value of these leases, we make assumptions regarding the current fair values of leases for identical or similar equipment in order to determine if the acquired lease is within a fair value range of current lease rates. If a lease is below or above the range of current lease rates, the resulting lease discount or premium is recognized as a lease intangible and amortized into lease income over the remaining term of the lease. Acquired lease intangibles are amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease terms, which collectively had a weighted-average remaining amortization period of approximately 59 months as of December 31, 2022, and are recorded as a component of revenues in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Deferred Financing Costs —Costs incurred in connection with obtaining long term financing are capitalized and amortized to interest expense over the term of the underlying loans. Unamortized deferred financing costs of $ 29.4 million and $ 43.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, are included in Debt, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We also have unamortized deferred revolver fees related to our revolving debt o f $ 5.5 million and $ 2.4 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, which are included in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Amortization expense was $ 17.0 million , $ 19.1 million and $ 5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and is included in Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Discontinued Operations — A disposal of an entity or component of an entity is reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has or will have a material impact on our operations and financial results. See Note 3 for additional information related to our discontinued operations.
Revenues
Operating Leases —We lease equipment pursuant to operating leases. Operating leases with fixed rentals and step rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, assuming no renewals. Revenue is not recognized when collection is not reasonably assured. When collectability is not reasonably assured, the customer is placed on non-accrual status and revenue is recognized when cash payments are received.
Generally, under our aircraft lease and engine agreements, the lessee is required to make periodic maintenance payments calculated based on the lessee’s utilization of the leased asset or at the end of the lease. Typically, under our aircraft lease agreements, the lessee is responsible for maintenance, repairs and other operating expenses throughout the term of the lease. These periodic maintenance payments accumulate over the term of the lease to fund major maintenance events, and we are contractually obligated to return maintenance payments to the lessee up to the cost of maintenance events paid by the lessee. In the event the total cost of maintenance events over the term of a lease is less than the cumulative maintenance payments, we are not required to return any unused or excess maintenance payments to the lessee.
Maintenance payments received for which we expect to repay to the lessee are presented as Maintenance Deposits in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. All excess maintenance payments received that we do not expect to repay to the lessee are
62

(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
recorded as Maintenance revenues. Estimates in recognizing revenue include mean time between removal, projected costs for engine maintenance and forecasted utilization of aircraft which are affected by historical usage patterns and overall industry, market and economic conditions. Significant changes to these estimates could have a material effect on the amount of revenue recognized in the period.
For purchase and lease back transactions, we account for the transaction as a single arrangement. We allocate the consideration paid based on the relative fair value of the aircraft and lease. The fair value of the lease may include a lease premium or discount, which is recorded as a favorable or unfavorable lease intangible.
Finance Leases —From time to time we enter into finance lease arrangements that include a lessee obligation to purchase the leased equipment at the end of the lease term, a bargain purchase option, or provides for minimum lease payments with a present value that equals or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased equipment at the date of lease inception. Net investment in finance leases represents the minimum lease payments due from lessee, net of unearned income. The lease payments are segregated into principal and interest components similar to a loan. Unearned income is recognized on an effective interest method over the lease term and is recorded as finance lease income. The principal component of the lease payment is reflected as a reduction to the net investment in finance leases. Revenue is not recognized when collection is not reasonably assured. When collectability is not reasonably assured, the customer is placed on non-accrual status and revenue is recognized when cash payments are received.
Asset sales revenue —Asset sales revenue primarily consists of the transaction price related to the sale of aircraft and aircraft engines from our Aviation Leasing segment. From time to time, the Company may also assign the related lease agreements to the customer as part of the sale of these asset s. We routinely sell leasing equipment to customers and such transactions are considered recurring and ordinary in nature to our business. As such, these sales are accounted for within the scope of ASC 606. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over an asset to a customer. Revenue is recorded with corresponding costs of sales, presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. See Note 10 for additional information.
Aerospace Products revenue —Aerospace Products revenue primarily consists of the transaction price related to the sale of repaired CFM56-7B and CFM56-5B engines, engine modules, spare parts and used material inventory, and are accounted for within the scope of ASC 606. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control over the related asset to a customer. Revenue is recorded with corresponding costs of sales, presented on a gross basis in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Leasing Arrangements —At contract inception, we evaluate whether an arrangement is or contains a lease for which we are the lessee (that is, arrangements which provide us with the right to control a physical asset for a period of time). Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities are included in Other assets and Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively. Finance lease ROU assets are recognized in Other assets and lease liabilities are recognized in Other liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
All lease liabilities are measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments, discounted using our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date of the lease. ROU assets, for both operating and finance leases, are initially measured based on the lease liability, adjusted for prepaid rent and lease incentives. Operating lease ROU assets are subsequently measured at the carrying amount of the lease liability adjusted for prepaid or accrued lease payments and lease incentives. The finance lease ROU assets are subsequently amortized using the straight-line method.
Operating lease expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. With respect to finance leases, amortization of the ROU asset is presented separately from interest expense related to the finance lease liability and is recorded in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Variable lease payments, which are primarily based on usage, are recognized when the associated activity occurs.
We have elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all lease contracts where we are the lessee. Additionally, for arrangements with lease terms of 12 months or less, we do not recognize ROU assets, and lease liabilities and lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term with variable lease payments recognized in the period in which the obligation is incurred.
Concentration of Credit Risk —We are subject to concentrations of credit risk with respect to amounts due from customers. We attempt to limit our credit risk by performing ongoing credit evaluations. No single customer accounted for greater than 10% of total revenue during the year ended December 31, 2022. We earned 11 % and 11 % of our revenue from one customer in the Aviation Leasing segment during the years ended December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
As of December 31, 2022, there were two customers in the Aviation Leasing segment that repres ented 20 % and 12 % of t otal accounts receivable, net. As of December 31, 2021, there were two customers in the Aviation Leasing segment that represented 51 % and 18 % of total accounts receivable, net.
We maintain cash and restricted cash balances, which generally exceed federally insured limits, and subject us to credit risk, in high credit quality financial institutions. We monitor the financial condition of these institutions and have not experienced any losses associated with these accounts.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts —We determine the allowance for doubtful accounts based on our assessment of the collectability of our receivables on a customer-by-customer basis. Provision in credit losses is included in Operating expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The activity in the allowance for doubtful accounts is as follows:
December 31,
2022 2021 2020
Allowance at beginning of period $ 17,703 $ 4,823 $ 1,227

Allowance at end of period $ 65,580 $ 17,703 $ 4,823
Economic sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russia’s aviation industry were imposed due to its invasion of Ukraine during the first quarter of 2022. As a result of the sanctions imposed on Russian airlines, we terminated all lease agreements with Russian airlines during the first quarter of 2022 and recognized approximately $ 47.1 million in provision for credit losses during the year ended December 31, 2022. Our allowance for doubtful accounts at December 31, 2022 includes all accounts receivable exposure to Russian and Ukrainian customers.
Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances, excluding those resulting from investments by and distributions to owners. Our comprehensive income (loss) represents net income (loss), as presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, adjusted for fair value changes for pensions and other postretirement benefits of discontinued operations, and other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedges of our equity method investees of discontinued operations. These changes are also recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive loss in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The cash flow impact of derivative contracts held by the equity method investees that are not designated as hedging instruments is recognized in Equity in losses (earnings) in unconsolidated entities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the cash flow impact of commodity derivatives held by our consolidated subsidiaries is recognized in Change in fair value of non-hedge derivatives in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Other Assets — Other assets is primarily comprised of lease incentives of $ 37.9 million and $ 46.9 million, purchase deposits of $ 6.7 million and $ 13.7 million, notes receivable of $ 49.2 million and $ 22.4 million, operating lease right-of-use assets, net of $ 3.0 million and $ 3.8 million, and finance leases, net of $ 6.4 million and $ 7.6 million, maintenance right assets of $ 6.8 million and $ 5.1 million, prepaid expenses of $ 1.9 million an d $ 4.0 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As a result of the sanctions imposed on Russian airlines, we terminated all lease agreements with Russian airlines and recognized approximately $ 7.5 million in amortization for the remaining lease incentives during the year ended December 31, 2022.
Dividends — Dividends are recorded if and when declared by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors declared cash dividends of $ 1.26 , $ 1.32 and $ 1.32 per ordinary share during each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Additionally, the Board of Directors declared cash dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares of $ 2.06 , $ 2.06 and $ 2.06 per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, the Series B Preferred Shares of $ 2.00 ,$ 2.00 and $ 2.10 per share for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and the Series C Preferred Shares of $ 2.06 and $ 1.49 per share for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements —In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors—Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments . This ASU requires lessors to classify and account for a lease with variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate as an operating lease if (i) the lease would have been classified as a sales-type lease or a direct financing lease under Topic 842 and (ii) the lessor would have otherwise recognized a day-one loss. This standard is effective for all reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2022, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
FTAI Infrastructure Inc. (“FTAI Infrastructure”) Spin-Off
On April 28, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company unanimously approved the previously announced spin-off of the Company’s infrastructure business held by FTAI Infrastructure (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company). The spin-off was effected as a distribution of all of the shares owned by the Company of common stock of FTAI Infrastructure to the holders of the Company’s ordinary shares as of July 21, 2022. The distribution was completed on August 1, 2022. Under ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations , the spin-off met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation. Therefore, FTAI Infrastructure is presented as a discontinued operation within the Company’s financial statements for all periods prior to August 1, 2022.
FTAI Infrastructure is a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and holds, among other things, the Company’s previously held interests in the (i) Jefferson Terminal business, (ii) Repauno business, (iii) Long Ridge investment, and (iv) Transtar business. FTAI Infrastructure retained all related project-level debt of those businesses. In connection with the spin-off, FTAI Infrastructure paid a dividend of $ 730.3 million to the Company. The Company used these proceeds to repay all

outstanding borrowings under its 2021 bridge loans, $ 200.0 million of its 6.50 % senior unsecured notes due 2025, and approximately $ 175.0 million of the outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility. FTAI retained the aviation business and certain other assets, and FTAI’s remaining outstanding corporate indebtedness.
In connection with the spin-off, the Company and the Manager assigned the Company’s then-existing management agreement to FTAI Infrastructure, and FTAI Infrastructure and the Manager executed an amended and restated agreement. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries executed a new management agreement with the Manager. The new management agreement has an initial term of six years. The Manager is entitled to a management fee and reimbursement of certain expenses on substantially similar terms as the previous arrangements with the Manager, which were assigned to FTAI Infrastructure. Prior to the Merger described below, our Manager remained entitled to incentive allocations (comprised of income incentive allocation and capital gains incentive allocation) on the same terms as they existed prior to spin-off. Following the Merger, the Company entered into a Services and Profit Sharing Agreement (the “Services and Profit Sharing Agreement”), with a subsidiary of the Company and Fortress Worldwide Transportation and Infrastructure Master GP LLC (“Master GP”), pursuant to which Master GP is entitled to incentive payments on substantially similar terms as the previous arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Revenues of discontinued operations consist of the following revenue streams:
Terminal Services Revenues —Terminal services are provided to customers for the receipt and redelivery of various commodities. These revenues relate to performance obligations that are recognized over time using the right to invoice practical expedient, i.e., invoiced as the services are rendered and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit over the contract term. The Company’s performance of service and right to invoice corresponds with the value delivered to our customers. Revenues are typically invoiced and paid on a monthly basis.
Rail Revenues —Rail revenues generally consist of the following performance obligations: industrial switching, interline services, demurrage and storage. Switching revenues are derived from the performance of switching services, which involve the movement of cars from one point to another within the limits of an individual plant, industrial area, or a rail yard. Switching revenues are recognized as the services are performed, and the services are generally completed on the same day they are initiated.
Interline revenues are derived from transportation services for railcars that originate or terminate at our railroads and involve one or more other carriers. We record revenue related to interline traffic for transportation service segments provided by carriers along railroads that are not owned or controlled by us on a net basis. Interline revenues are recognized as the transportation movements occur.
Ancillary services revenue primarily relates to demurrage and storage services. Demurrage represents charges assessed by railroads for the detention of cars by shippers or receivers of freight beyond a specified free time and is recognized on a per day basis. Storage services revenue is earned for the provision of storage of shippers’ railcars and is generally recognized on a per day, per car basis, as the storage services are provided.
Lease Income —Lease income consists of rental income from tenants for storage space. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant lease agreement.
Other Revenue —Other revenue primarily consists of revenue related to the handling, storage and sale of raw materials. Revenues for the handling and storage of raw materials relate to performance obligations that are recognized over time using the right to invoice practical expedient, i.e., invoiced as the services are rendered and the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefit over the contract term. Our performance of service and right to invoice corresponds with the value delivered to our customers. Revenues for the sale of raw materials relate to contracts that contain performance obligations to deliver the product over the term of the contract. The revenues are recognized when the control of the product is transferred to the customer, based on the volume delivered and the price within the contract. Other revenues are typically invoiced and paid on a monthly basis.
Additionally, other revenue consists of revenue related to derivative trading activities and also includes revenue related to providing roadside assistance services to customers in the intermodal and over-the-road trucking industries. Revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied by completing a repair service at a point in time. Revenues are typically invoiced for each repair and generally have 30-day payment terms.
Variable Interest Entity
The assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and the determination of whether to consolidate a VIE requires judgment. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. A VIE is required to be consolidated by its primary beneficiary, and only by its primary beneficiary, which is defined as the party who has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.

FTAI AVIATION LTD.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in tables in thousands, unless otherwise noted)
At December 31, 2021, we held an approximately 98 % economic interest, and a 100 % voting interest in Delaware River Partners LLC (“DRP”). DRP was solely reliant on us to finance its activities and therefore was a VIE. We concluded that we were the primary beneficiary; and accordingly, DRP has been presented on a consolidated basis in the tables below. Total VIE assets of DRP were $ 316.5 million and total VIE liabilities were $ 32.6 million as of December 31, 2021.
Goodwill
Goodwill included the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of Jefferson Terminal and Transtar. Subsequent to the spin-off on August 1, 2022, the Company does not have any goodwill.
We reviewed the carrying values of goodwill at least annually to assess impairment since these assets are not amortized. An annual impairment review was conducted as of October 1st of each year. Additionally, we reviewed the carrying value of goodwill whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that its carrying amount may not be recoverable. The determination of fair value involves significant management judgment.
For an annual goodwill impairment assessment, an optional qualitative analysis may be performed. If the option is not elected or if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, then a goodwill impairment test is performed to identify potential goodwill impairment and measure an impairment loss. A qualitative analysis was not elected for 2021 or 2020.
A goodwill impairment assessment compares the fair value of the respective reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The estimate of fair value of the respective reporting unit is based on the best information available as of the date of assessment, which primarily incorporates certain factors including our assumptions about operating results, business plans, income projections, anticipated future cash flows and market data. If the estimated fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount, a goodwill impairment is recorded to the extent that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value.
We estimated the fair value of the Jefferson and Transtar reporting units using an income approach, specifically a discounted cash flow analysis. The analysis required us to make significant assumptions and estimates about the forecasted revenue growth rates, capital expenditures, the timing of future cash flows, and discount rates. The estimates and assumptions were used to consider historical performance if indicative of future performance and were consistent with the assumptions used in determining future profit plans for the reporting units.
There were no impairments of goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Intangibles and amortization
Intangibles included the value of existing customer relationships acquired in connection with the acquisition of Jefferson Terminal and Transtar.
Customer relationship intangible assets were amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as the pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are consumed cannot reliably be determined. Customer relationship intangible assets have useful lives ranging from 5 to 15 years, no estimated residual value, and amortization was recorded as a component of Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The weighted-average remaining amortization period was approximately 154 months as of December 31, 2021.

Economic sanctions and export controls against Russia and Russia’s aviation industry have been imposed due to its invasion of Ukraine during the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result of the sanctions imposed on Russian airlines, we terminated all lease agreements with Russian airlines. As of December 31, 2022, four aircraft and one engine were still located in Ukraine and eight aircraft and seventeen engines were still located in Russia. We determined that it is unlikely that we will regain possession of the aircraft and engines that have not yet been recovered from Ukraine and Russia. As a result, we recognized an impairment charge totaling $ 120.0 million, net of maintenance deposits, to write-off the entire carrying value of leasing equipment assets that we do not expect to recover from Ukraine and Russia. Additionally, we identified certain assets in our leasing equipment portfolio with indicators of impairment. As a result, we adjusted the carrying value of these assets to fair value and recognized transactional impairment charges of $ 17.2 million, net of redelivery compensation during the year ended December 31, 2022.

9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value measurements and disclosures require the use of valuation techniques to measure fair value that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized as follows:
• Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or market corroborated inputs.
• Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and which require us to develop our own assumptions about how market participants price the asset or liability.
The valuation techniques that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:
• Market approach—Uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities.
• Income approach—Uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts.
• Cost approach—Based on the amount that currently would be required to replace the service capacity of an asset (replacement cost).
Our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist largely of demand deposit accounts with maturities of 90 days or less when purchased that are considered to be highly liquid. These instruments are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical instruments and are therefore classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.
Except as discussed below, our financial instruments other than cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash consist principally of accounts receivable, notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, loans payable, security deposits, maintenance deposits and management fees payable, whose fair values approximate their carrying values based on an evaluation of pricing data, vendor quotes, and historical trading activity or due to their short maturity profiles.
The fair values of our bonds payable reported as Debt, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are presented in the table below and classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy:
December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021
Senior Notes due 2025 613,152 881,408
Senior Notes due 2027 402,032 448,848
Senior Notes due 2028 853,490 1,019,470
The fair values of all other items reported as Debt, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximate their carrying values due to their bearing market rates of interest and are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy.
We measure the fair value of certain assets on a non-recurring basis when GAAP requires the application of fair value, including events or changes in circumstances that indicate that the carrying amounts of assets may not be recoverable. Assets subject to these measurements include intangible assets, property, plant and equipment, leasing equipment and inventory. We record such assets at fair value when it is determined the carrying value may not be recoverable. Fair value measurements for assets subject to impairment tests are based on an income approach which uses Level 3 inputs, which include our assumptions as to future cash flows from operation of the leasing and eventual sale of assets.
10. REVENUES
We disaggregate our revenue from contracts with customers by products and services provided for each of our segments, as we believe it best depicts the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of our revenue. Revenues are within the scope of ASC 842, Leases and ASC 606, Revenue from contracts with customers , unless otherwise noted. We have elected to exclude sales and other similar taxes from revenues.
During the third quarter of 2022, we updated our corporate strategy based on the opportunities available in the market such that the sale of aircraft and engines is now an output of our recurring, ordinary activities. As a result of this update, the transaction price allocated to the sale of assets is included in Revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the third and fourth quarters of 2022 and are accounted for in accordance with ASC 606. The corresponding net book values of the assets sold are recorded in Cost of sales in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for the third and fourth quarters of 2022. Sales transactions of aircraft and engines prior to the third quarter of 2022 were accounted for in accordance with ASC 610-20, Gains and losses from the derecognition of nonfinancial assets and were included in Gain (loss) on sale of assets, net on the Consolidated Statement of Operations, as we were previously only occasionally selling these assets. Generally, assets sold were under leasing arrangements with customers prior to sales and were included in Leasing equipment, net, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are reported net in Other assets or Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which temporary differences become deductible. We have analyzed our deferred tax assets and have determined, based on the weight of available evidence, that it is more likely than not that a significant portion will not be realized. Accordingly, valuation allowances have been recognized as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 of $ 27.6 million, $ 9.1 million and $ 6.8 million , res pectively, related to certain deductible temporary differences and net operating loss carryforwards.
A summary of the changes in the valuation allowance is as follows:
December 31,
2022 2021 2020
Valuation allowance at beginning of period $ 9,142 $ 6,794 $ 2,603

Change due to current year releases ( 3,671 ) ( 8 ) —
Valuation allowance at end of period $ 27,565 $ 9,142 $ 6,794
As of December 31, 2022, certain of our corporate subsidiaries had U.S. federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $ 39.3 million that are available to offset future taxable income. If not utilized, $ 0.6 million of these carryforwards will begin to expire in the year 2037, with $ 38.7 million of these carryforwards having no expiration date. As of December 31, 2022, we also had net operating loss carryforwards for Irish income tax purposes of $ 250.1 million, which can be carried forward indefinitely against future business income, $ 1.3 million of net operating loss carryforwards for Malaysian income tax purposes, which will begin to expire in the year 2027, and $ 5.4 million of net operating loss carryforward for Australian income tax purpose, which can be carried forward indefinitely against the future business income. The utilization of the net operating loss carryforwards to reduce future income taxes will depend on the relevant corporate subsidiary's ability to generate sufficient taxable income prior to the expiration of the carryforward period, if any. In addition, the maximum annual use of net operating loss carryforwards may be limited after certain changes in share ownership.

As of and for the period ended December 31, 2022, we had not established a liability for uncertain tax positions as no such positions existed. In general, our tax returns and the tax returns of our corporate subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax examinations by tax authorities. Generally, we are not subject to examination by taxing authorities for tax years prior to 2019. We do not believe that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will significantly change within 12 months of the reporting date.
13. MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT AND AFFILIATE TRANSACTIONS
In connection with the spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure on August 1, 2022, we assigned our then-existing management and advisory agreement, dated as of May 20, 2015, with our Manager to FTAI Infrastructure. On July 31, 2022, we entered into a new management and advisory agreement (the “Management Agreement”), by and among FTAI, FTAI Finance Holdco Ltd. (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company), and each of the subsidiaries that are party thereto and the Manager, with substantially similar terms and conditions as the existing management and advisory agreement.
The Manager is paid annual fees in exchange for advising us on various aspects of our business, formulating our investment strategies, arranging for the acquisition and disposition of assets, arranging for financing, monitoring performance, and managing our day-to-day operations, inclusive of all costs incidental thereto. In addition, the Manager may be reimbursed for various expenses incurred by the Manager on our behalf, including the costs of legal, accounting and other administrative activities. In May 2015, in connection with our IPO, we entered into the Management Agreement. Additionally, we have entered into certain incentive allocation arrangements with Master GP, which owns approximately 0.01 % of FTAI Aviation Holdco Ltd.
The Manager is entitled to a management fee and reimbursement of certain expenses. The management fee is determined by taking the average value of total equity (excluding non-controlling interests) determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP at the end of the two most recently completed months multiplied by an annual rate of 1.50 %, and is payable monthly in arrears in cash.
Master GP is entitled to incentive allocations (comprised of income incentive allocation and capital gains incentive allocation, defined below). The income incentive allocation is calculated and distributable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-incentive allocation net income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter (the “Income Incentive Allocation”). For this purpose, pre-incentive allocation net income means, with respect to a calendar quarter, net income attributable to shareholders during such quarter calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP excluding our pro rata share of (1) realized or unrealized gains and losses, and (2) certain non-cash or one-time items, and (3) any other adjustments as may be approved by our independent directors. Pre-incentive allocation net income does not include any Income Incentive Allocation or Capital Gains Incentive Allocation (described below) paid to Master GP during the relevant quarter.
One of our subsidiaries allocates and distributes to Master GP an Income Incentive Allocation with respect to its pre-incentive allocation net income in each calendar quarter as follows: (1) no Income Incentive Allocation in any calendar quarter in which pre-incentive allocation net income, expressed as a rate of return on the average value of our net equity capital (excluding non-controlling interests) at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters, does not exceed 2 % for such quarter ( 8 % annualized); (2) 100 % of pre-incentive allocation net income with respect to that portion of such pre-incentive allocation net income, if any, that is equal to or exceeds 2 % but does not exceed 2.2223 % for such quarter; and (3) 10 % of the amount of pre-incentive allocation net income, if any, that exceeds 2.2223 % for such quarter. These calculations will be prorated for any period of less than three months.
Capital Gains Incentive Allocation is calculated and distributable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year and is equal to 10 % of our pro rata share of cumulative realized gains from the date of the IPO through the end of the applicable calendar year, net of our pro rata share of cumulative realized or unrealized losses, the cumulative non-cash portion of equity-based compensation expenses and all realized gains upon which prior performance-based Capital Gains Incentive Allocation payments were made to Master GP.
The following table summarizes the management fees, income incentive allocation and capital gains incentive allocation from continuing operations:

We pay all of our operating expenses, except those specifically required to be borne by the Manager under the Management Agreement. The expenses required to be paid by us include, but are not limited to, issuance and transaction costs incident to the acquisition, disposition and financing of our assets, legal and auditing fees and expenses, the compensation and expenses of our independent directors, the costs associated with the establishment and maintenance of any credit facilities and other indebtedness of ours (including commitment fees, legal fees, closing costs, etc.), expenses associated with other securities offerings of ours, costs and expenses incurred in contracting with third parties (including affiliates of the Manager), the costs of printing and mailing proxies and reports to our shareholders, costs incurred by the Manager or its affiliates for travel on our behalf, costs associated with any computer software or hardware that is used by us, costs to obtain liability insurance to indemnify our directors and officers and the compensation and expenses of our transfer agent.
We will pay or reimburse the Manager and its affiliates for performing certain legal, accounting, due diligence tasks and other services that outside professionals or outside consultants otherwise would perform, provided that such costs and reimbursements are no greater than those which would be paid to outside professionals or consultants. The Manager is responsible for all of its other costs incident to the performance of its duties under the Management Agreement, including compensation of the Manager’s employees, rent for facilities and other “overhead” expenses; we will not reimburse the Manager for these expenses.
The following table summarizes our reimbursements to the Manager from continuing operations:
Year Ended December 31,
2022 2021 2020
Classification in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:
General and administrative expenses $ 6,891 $ 4,915 $ 5,499
Acquisition and transaction expenses 1,144 2,153 2,081
Total $ 8,035 $ 7,068 $ 7,580
If we terminate the Management Agreement, we will generally be required to pay the Manager a termination fee. The termination fee is equal to the amount of the management fee during the 12 months immediately preceding the date of the termination. In addition, an Incentive Allocation Fair Value Amount will be distributable to Master GP if Master GP is removed due to the termination of the Management Agreement in certain specified circumstances. The Incentive Allocation Fair Value Amount is an amount equal to the Income Incentive Allocation and the Capital Gains Incentive Allocation that would be paid to Master GP if our assets were sold for cash at their then current fair market value (as determined by an appraisal, taking into account, among other things, the expected future value of the underlying investments).
Upon the successful completion of an offering of our ordinary shares or other equity securities (including securities issued as consideration in an acquisition), we grant the Manager options to purchase ordinary shares in an amount equal to 10 % of the number of ordinary shares being sold in the offering (or if the issuance relates to equity securities other than our ordinary shares, options to purchase a number of ordinary shares equal to 10 % of the gross capital raised in the equity issuance divided by the fair market value of a ordinary share as of the date of issuance), with an exercise price equal to the offering price per share paid by the public or other ultimate purchaser or attributed to such securities in connection with an acquisition (or the fair market value of a ordinary share as of the date of the equity issuance if it relates to equity securities other than our ordinary shares). Any ultimate purchaser of ordinary shares for which such options are granted may be an affiliate of the Manager.
The following table summarizes amounts due to the Manager, which are included within accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets:

14. SEGMENT INFORMATION
As a result of the spin-off of FTAI Infrastructure effective on August 1, 2022, the Company reevaluated its operating segments. The key factors used to identify the reportable segments are the organization and alignment of our internal operations and the nature of our products and services. Our two reportable segments are (i) Aviation Leasing and (ii) Aerospace Products. The Aviation Leasing segment owns and manages aviation assets, including aircraft and aircraft engines, which it leases and sells to customers. The Aerospace Products segment develops and manufactures through a joint venture, and repairs and sells, through exclusivity arrangements, aftermarket components for aircraft engines. The information for the year ended December 31, 2022 discloses the reportable segments on this basis, and prior periods have been restated to reflect the change in accordance with the requirements of ASC 280 – Segment Reporting .
Corporate and Other primarily consists of debt, unallocated corporate general and administrative expenses, shared services costs, and management fees. Additionally, Corporate and Other also includes offshore energy related assets, which consist of vessels and equipment that support offshore oil and gas activities and production which are typically subject to operating leases.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies; however, financial information presented by segment includes the impact of intercompany eliminations. Our Chief Executive Officer is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”). Segment information is presented in the same manner that our CODM reviews the operating results in assessing performance and allocating resources. The CODM evaluates performance for each reportable segment primarily based on Adjusted EBITDA. Historically, the CODM’s assessment of segment performance included asset information. During the third quarter of 2022, the CODM determined that segment asset information is not a key factor in measuring performance or allocating resources. Therefore, segment asset information is not included in the tables below as it is not provided to or reviewed by our CODM.
During the year, the Company changed its measure of segment profit to include the add back of dividends on preferred shares in Adjusted EBITDA. Prior period Adjusted EBITDA amounts and the reconciliation to net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations have been recast to reflect this change in the measure of segment profit.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations, adjusted (a) to exclude the impact of provision for (benefit from) income taxes, equity-based compensation expense, acquisition and transaction expenses, losses on the modification or extinguishment of debt and capital lease obligations, changes in fair value of non-hedge derivative instruments, asset impairment charges, incentive allocations, depreciation and amortization expense, dividends on preferred shares and interest expense, (b) to include the impact of our pro-rata share of Adjusted EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, and (c) to exclude the impact of equity in earnings (losses) of unconsolidated entities and the non-controlling share of Adjusted EBITDA.
We believe that net income (loss) attributable to shareholders from continuing operations, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measurement with which to reconcile Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) attributable to shareholders as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
In the normal course of business, the Company and its subsidiaries may be involved in various claims, legal proceedings, or may enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnifications. Within our offshore energy business, a lessee did not fulfill its obligation under its charter arrangement, therefore we are pursuing rights afforded to us under the charter and the range of potential losses against the obligation is $ 0.0 million to $ 3.3 million. Our maximum exposure under other arrangements is unknown as no additional claims have been made. We believe the risk of loss in connection with such arrangements is remote.
