Aircastle Limited reported first quarter net income of $18.9 million and adjusted net income of $20.6 million. First quarter total revenues were $130.6 million, a decrease of $1.6 million from the first quarter 2009, and reflect higher lease rental revenue of $4.1 million offset by lower end of lease maintenance revenue of $1.3 million and higher non-cash lease incentive amortization of $3.7 million. Lease rental revenue for the first quarter 2010 was $130.1 million, up 3.3% year over year and includes increases of $3.8 million from aircraft transitions, mainly from aircraft that were out of service during first quarter of 2009, and $3.8 million of revenue from 2009 aircraft acquisitions net of dispositions. These increases were partially offset by the impact of lease extensions and floating rate lease adjustments of $3.5 million.
EBITDA was $121.2 million, up $4.7 million from the first quarter of 2009, due to higher lease rental revenue of $4.1 million and lower maintenance and other costs of $3.6 million which resulted from higher costs incurred in the first quarter of 2009 for repossessed aircraft. These increases to EBITDA were partially offset by lower end of lease maintenance revenue of $1.3 million, higher selling general and administrative expenses of $0.6 million and higher mark to market expense on our undesignated hedges of $0.5 million.
