'We have added significant commitments to our pipeline, upgraded our 2015 full year aircraft trading guidance and recorded an adjusted ROE of 16%. Post quarter-end, we have also announced two important developments with the launch of a tender offer by Bohai Leasing for a 20% stake in Avolon at $26 per share and, subject to the completion of that offer, a significant sale and leaseback transaction with Hainan Airlines,' he added.

'We are particularly pleased with our continued execution of both sale and leaseback transactions and the sale of aircraft in the quarter. This is testament to the strength of our team and our network of relationships. We delivered $622 million of new commitments reflecting our proven ability to secure growth through sale and leasebacks in both the contested and uncontested markets. We have now secured close to $1.4 billion of delivery commitments for 2016 which locks in substantial growth for the business in the year ahead,' he said.
'The second quarter also marks twelve consecutive quarters of profitable aircraft trading for Avolon. As a result of our consistent execution, we expect to exceed our prior full year trading volume target and have upgraded our profit guidance for this segment of our business. We believe we have the right team and right business model, together with best-in-class risk management systems, to continue to deliver superior growth with lower risk, which will ultimately drive returns for our shareholders. We re-affirm our 2015 guidance and look forward to the continued growth of the business into 2016.'
