Under the terms of the transaction agreement, GE received 111.5 million newly issued AerCap shares, approximately $23 billion of cash and $1 billion of AerCap notes. GE now owns approximately 46% of AerCap’s outstanding shares. In connection with the GECAS Transaction, Jennifer VanBelle has joined the Board of Directors of AerCap, bringing the number of directors serving on AerCap’s Board of Directors to ten. The GE shares are subject to a lock-up period which will expire in stages from nine to 15 months after the Closing Date. GE has entered into agreements with AerCap regarding voting restrictions, standstill provisions and certain registration rights.
The GECAS Transaction will be accounted for in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting, which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. Due to the limited time since the Closing Date, the initial purchase allocation for the business combination has not been completed. Also, the Company is unable to provide pro forma revenues and earnings of the combined entity. This information will be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended 2021.

2. Basis of presentation
General
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with Accounting Principles Generally Accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
We consolidate all companies in which we have direct and indirect legal or effective control and all VIEs for which we are deemed the Primary Beneficiary (“PB”) under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810. All intercompany balances and transactions with consolidated subsidiaries are eliminated. The results of consolidated entities are included from the effective date of control or, in the case of VIEs, from the date that we are or become the PB. The results of subsidiaries sold or otherwise deconsolidated are excluded from the date that we cease to control the subsidiary or, in the case of VIEs, when we cease to be the PB.
Unconsolidated investments where we have significant influence are reported using the equity method of accounting.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are stated in U.S. dollars, which is our functional currency.
Our interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and U.S. GAAP for interim financial reporting, and reflect all adjustments that are necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, our interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2021. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year.
Due to rounding, numbers presented throughout this document may not add up precisely to the totals provided and percentages may not precisely reflect the absolute figures.
Use of estimates

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management 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 revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The use of estimates is or could be a significant factor affecting the reported carrying values of flight equipment, intangible assets, investment in finance lease and sales type-leases, investments, trade and notes receivables, deferred income tax assets and accruals and maintenance liabilities. Actual results may differ from our estimates under different conditions, sometimes materially.
Reportable segments
We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of one business segment: leasing, financing, sales and management of commercial aircraft and engines.

3. Summary of significant accounting policies
Our significant accounting policies are described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2021.
Future application of accounting standards:
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASC 848”). ASC 848 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the U.S. GAAP guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to reduce the financial reporting burden in light of the market transition from London Interbank Offered Rates (“LIBOR”) and other reference interest rates to alternative reference rates.
Under ASC 848 companies can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not be required to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. The amendments of ASC 848 apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The amendments in ASC 848 are effective from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022 and can be adopted prospectively for any interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020. We have not adopted ASC 848 for this interim period and are currently evaluating the adoption impact the standard may have on our financial statements.

9. Derivative financial instruments
We have entered into interest rate derivatives to hedge the current and future interest rate payments on our variable rate debt. These derivative financial instruments can include interest rate swaps, caps, floors, options and forward contracts.
As of September 30, 2021, we had interest rate caps and swaps outstanding, with underlying variable benchmark interest rates ranging from one to six-month U.S. dollar LIBOR.
Some of our agreements with derivative counterparties require a two-way cash collateralization of derivative fair values. We had not advanced any cash collateral to counterparties as of September 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
The counterparties to our interest rate derivatives are primarily major international financial institutions. We continually monitor our positions and the credit ratings of the counterparties involved and limit the amount of credit exposure to any one party. We could be exposed to potential losses due to the credit risk of non-performance by these counterparties. We have not experienced any material losses to date.
Our derivative assets are recorded in other assets and our derivative liabilities are recorded in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following tables present notional amounts and fair values of derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

The GECAS Transaction Financings also contained covenants that applied from and after the closing of the GECAS Transaction that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of AerCap to sell assets, make certain restricted payments and incur certain liens.
On October 29, 2021, the Bridge Credit Facility was terminated in connection with the closing of the GECAS Transaction. On November 1, 2021, $2.0 billion was drawn under the Term Loan Credit Agreement to pay a portion of the cash consideration due under the transaction agreement. On November 5, 2021, the Term Loan Credit Agreement was repaid and terminated in connection with the closing of the GECAS Transaction.

GECAS Acquisition Notes
AerCap Trust and AICDC co-issued $21 billion of Senior Unsecured Notes in aggregate (the “GECAS Acquisition Notes”) in connection with the GECAS Transaction on October 29, 2021. The GECAS Acquisition Notes consist of $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.15% Senior Notes due 2023, $3.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.65% Senior Notes due 2024, $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 1.75% Senior Notes due 2024, $3.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.45% Senior Notes due 2026, $3.75 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.0% Senior Notes due 2028, $4.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.3% Senior Notes due 2032, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.4% Senior Notes due 2033, $1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 3.85% Senior Notes due 2041 and $500 million aggregate principal amount of Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2023. The GECAS Acquisition Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by AerCap and certain other AerCap subsidiaries. The proceeds from the issuance of the GECAS Acquisition Notes were used to fund a portion of the cash consideration to be paid in the GECAS Transaction, and to pay related fees and expenses, with any excess proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes.
Institutional Secured Term Loan
A $2.0 billion institutional secured term loan (“Setanta”) was entered into on November 5, 2021. The Setanta loan contains customary covenants and events of default for financings of this type, including covenants that limit the ability of the subsidiary borrowers and their subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness and create liens, and covenants that limit the ability of the guarantors, the subsidiary borrowers and their subsidiaries to consolidate, merge or dispose of all or substantially all of their assets and enter into transactions with affiliates. The proceeds from the Setanta loan were used to repay the amount borrowed under the Term Loan Credit Agreement.
GE Notes
On November 1, 2021, AerCap Trust and AICDC co-issued $1.0 billion of 1.899% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 to a subsidiary of GE in connection with the closing of the GECAS Transaction.

13. Income taxes
Our effective tax rate for the full year 2021 is expected to be 13.5%, compared to the effective tax rate of 5.5% for the full year 2020. The effective tax rate is impacted by the source and amount of earnings among our different tax jurisdictions as well as the amount of permanent tax differences relative to pre-tax income.
Our effective tax rate was 12.4% and 13.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and 11.1% and 7.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020. Our effective tax rate in any period can be impacted by revisions to the estimated full year rate.
14. Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Other income consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020

$ 458,700  $ 31,304  $ 684,717  $ 60,963 
Proceeds from unsecured claims primarily related to the sale of certain unsecured claims against LATAM Airlines Group S.A., as further described below.
On April 22, 2021, we entered into a claims sale and purchase agreement with a third party for the sale of certain unsecured claims filed by various AerCap companies against LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries in the Chapter 11 case captioned LATAM Airlines Group S.A., et al., Case No. 20-11254 (JLG) (Jointly Administered). The sale of the unsecured claims is subject to such claims becoming allowed claims in the Bankruptcy Case and other customary closing conditions. The quantum of sale proceeds for each claim actually sold will be determined as a percentage of the amount of such claim allowed by the Bankruptcy Court. To the extent any of our unsecured claims are not allowed by a specified date, the buyer has the option to terminate the agreement with respect to any or all such non-allowed claims, and to the extent the aggregate allowed amount of claims amount exceeds a specified amount, the buyer has the option not to purchase claims above the specified amount.
In May 2021, the sale of a portion of the unsecured claims closed, subsequent to the Bankruptcy Court entering an order establishing the allowed claim amount. The sale proceeds amount of approximately $186 million was recognized in Other income during the three months ended June 30, 2021.
In September 2021, the sale of a further portion of the unsecured claims closed, subsequent to the Bankruptcy Court entering an order establishing the allowed claim amount. The sale proceeds amount of approximately $409 million was recognized in Other income during the three months ended September 30, 2021. We have other claim amounts outstanding that remain subject to the claims sale and purchase agreement and will be sold if and when such claims are allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.

17. Asset Impairment
Our long-lived assets include flight equipment held for operating lease and definite-lived intangible assets. We test long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. We perform event-driven impairment assessments of our flight equipment held for operating lease each quarter.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized impairment charges of $49.2 million and $122.6 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the impairment charges related to lease terminations and were largely offset by lease revenue recognized when we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the impairment charges related to lease terminations and sales transactions and were more than offset by lease revenue recognized when we retained maintenance-related balances or received EOL compensation.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized impairment charges of $972.9 million and $1,060.3 million, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the impairment charges primarily related to impairment of our flight equipment held for operating lease, primarily Airbus A330 and Boeing 777 aircraft and indefinite-lived goodwill assets.
18. Allowance for credit losses
Movements in the allowance for credit losses during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 were as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020
Allowance for credit losses at beginning of period $ 67,153  $ — 
Cumulative effect due to adoption of new accounting standard —  30,264 
Current period provision for expected credit losses 15,881  33,999 
Allowance for credit losses at end of period $ 83,034  $ 64,263 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we increased our credit provision, classified in leasing expenses, primarily related to the increased credit risk due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

19. Earnings per share
Basic Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average of our ordinary shares outstanding, which excludes 5,244,285 and 2,163,670 shares of unvested restricted stock as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the calculation of diluted EPS, the weighted average of our ordinary shares outstanding for basic EPS is adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities provided under our equity compensation plans. The number of shares excluded from diluted shares outstanding was 152,446 and 152,446 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, because the effect of including these shares in the calculation would have been anti-dilutive. Due to the reported loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, basic EPS was not adjusted by the effect of dilutive securities.

Basic and diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Net income (loss) for the computation of basic EPS $ 433,921  $ (849,929) $ 911,697  $ (327,044)
Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding - basic 128,131,157  127,589,905  128,087,006  127,771,182 
Basic EPS $ 3.39  $ (6.66) $ 7.12  $ (2.56)
Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Net income (loss) for the computation of diluted EPS $ 433,921  $ (849,929) $ 911,697  $ (327,044)
Weighted average ordinary shares outstanding - diluted 129,378,791  127,589,905  129,585,420  127,771,182 
Diluted EPS $ 3.35  $ (6.66) $ 7.04  $ (2.56)
Ordinary shares outstanding, excluding shares of unvested restricted stock, as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were as follows:
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Number of ordinary shares
Ordinary shares issued 138,847,345  138,847,345 
Treasury shares (5,467,556) (8,448,807)

20. Variable interest entities
We use many forms of entities to achieve our leasing and financing business objectives and we have participated to varying degrees in the design and formation of these entities. Our involvement in VIEs varies and includes being a passive investor in the VIE with involvement from other parties, managing and structuring all of the VIE’s activities, or being the sole shareholder of the VIE.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we did not provide any financial support to any of our VIEs that we were not contractually obligated to provide.
Consolidated VIEs
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, substantially all assets and liabilities presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets were held in consolidated VIEs.
We have determined that we are the PB of these entities because we control and manage all aspects of these entities, including directing the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance, absorb the majority of the risks and rewards of these entities and guarantee the activities of these entities.
The assets of our consolidated VIEs that can only be used to settle obligations of these entities, and the liabilities of these VIEs for which creditors do not have recourse to our general credit, are disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under Supplemental balance sheet information. Further details of debt held by our consolidated VIEs are disclosed in Note 12—Debt.
Wholly-owned ECA and Ex-Im financing vehicles
We have created certain wholly-owned subsidiaries for the purpose of purchasing aircraft and obtaining financing secured by such aircraft. The secured debt is guaranteed by the European ECAs and the Export-Import Bank of the United States. These entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without subordinated financial support from us in the form of intercompany notes.
Other secured financings
We have created a number of wholly-owned subsidiaries for the purpose of obtaining secured financings. These entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without subordinated financial support from us in the form of intercompany notes.
Wholly-owned leasing entities
We have created wholly-owned subsidiaries for the purpose of facilitating aircraft leases with airlines. These entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without subordinated financial support from us in the form of intercompany notes, which serve as equity.
Limited recourse financing structures
We have established entities to obtain secured financings for the purchase of aircraft in which we have variable interests. These entities meet the definition of a VIE because they do not have sufficient equity to operate without subordinated financial support from us in the form of intercompany notes. The loans of these entities are non-recourse to us except under limited circumstances.
AerCap Partners I Holding Limited (“AerCap Partners I”), AerCap Partners 767 Limited (“AerCap Partners 767”) and AerFunding are entities where we have determined we are the PB of the entity because we direct the activities that most significantly affect the economic performance of the entity and we absorb a significant portion of the risks and rewards of the entity. We provide lease management, insurance management and aircraft asset management services to AerCap Partners I, AerCap Partners 767 and AerFunding for a fee.

20. Variable interest entities (Continued)
AerCap Partners I and AerCap Partners 767
AerCap Partners I and AerCap Partners 767 are 50%-50% joint ventures owned by us and Deucalion Aviation Funds.
As of September 30, 2021, AerCap Partners I had $54.4 million of subordinated debt outstanding, consisting of $27.2 million due to us and $27.2 million due to our joint venture partner.
During the three months ended September 30, 2021, AerCap Partners 767 completed the sales of its two aircraft. As of September 30, 2021, AerCap Partners 767 had $32.6 million of subordinated debt outstanding, consisting of $16.3 million due to us and $16.3 million due to our joint venture partner.
AerFunding
We hold a 5% equity investment and 100% of the subordinated notes (“AerFunding Class E-1 Notes”) in AerFunding.
As of September 30, 2021, AerFunding had $1,052.2 million outstanding under a secured revolving credit facility and $1,945.6 million of AerFunding Class E-1 Notes outstanding due to us.
Non-consolidated VIEs
The following table presents our maximum exposure to loss in non-consolidated VIEs as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:
September 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Carrying value of debt and equity investments and maximum exposure to loss
 $ 131,373  $ 125,955 
The maximum exposure to loss is the loss amount that would be absorbed by us in the event that all of our assets held in the VIEs, for which we are not the PB, had no value.
AerDragon Aviation Partners Limited and its subsidiaries (“AerDragon”), AerLift Leasing Limited (“AerLift”), Acsal Holdco, LLC (“ACSAL”) and Peregrine are investments that are VIEs in which we have determined that we do not have control and are not the PB. We do have significant influence and, accordingly, we account for our investments in AerDragon, AerLift and ACSAL under the equity method of accounting. We account for our equity investment in Peregrine under the cost method of accounting.
We have variable interests in other entities in which we have determined we are not the PB because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance.

Aircraft on order
As of September 30, 2021, we had commitments to purchase 270 new aircraft scheduled for delivery through 2027. These commitments are based upon purchase agreements with Boeing, Airbus and Embraer S.A. (“Embraer”). These agreements establish the pricing formulas (including adjustments for certain contractual escalation provisions) and various other terms with respect to the purchase of aircraft. Under certain circumstances, we have the right to alter the mix of aircraft types ultimately acquired.
Prepayments on flight equipment include prepayments of our forward order flight equipment and other balances held by the aircraft manufacturers. Movements in prepayments on flight equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
Nine Months Ended September 30,
2021 2020
Prepayments on flight equipment at beginning of period $ 2,111,659  $ 2,954,478 
Prepayments and additions during the period, net 135,632  451,466

Legal proceedings
General
In the ordinary course of our business, we are a party to various legal actions, which we believe are incidental to the operations of our business. The Company regularly reviews the possible outcome of such legal actions, and accrues for such legal actions at the time a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be estimated. In addition, the Company also reviews indemnities and insurance coverage, where applicable. Based on information currently available, we believe the potential outcome of those cases where we are able to estimate reasonably possible losses, and our estimate of the reasonably possible losses exceeding amounts already recognized, on an aggregated basis, is immaterial to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
VASP Litigation
We are party to a group of related cases arising from the leasing of 13 aircraft and three spare engines to Viação Aerea de São Paulo (“VASP”), a Brazilian airline. In 1992, VASP defaulted on its lease obligations and we commenced litigation against VASP to repossess our equipment and obtained a preliminary injunction for the repossession and export of 13 aircraft and three spare engines from VASP. We repossessed and exported the aircraft and engines. VASP appealed and, in 1996, the Appellate Court of the State of São Paulo (“TJSP”) ruled that the aircraft and engines should be returned or that VASP could recover proven damages arising from the repossession.
We have defended this case in the Brazilian courts through various motions and appeals. In 2004, the Superior Court of Justice (the “STJ”) dismissed our then-pending appeal. In 2005, we filed an extraordinary appeal with the Federal Supreme Court (the “STF”). On June 24, 2020, the STF reversed its earlier contrary rulings and granted our extraordinary appeal, ordering a new panel of the STJ to review the merits of our challenge against TJSP’s original order. VASP has appealed the STF’s latest order.
In 2006, VASP commenced a related proceeding to calculate the amount of alleged damages owed under the TJSP’s 1996 judgment. In 2017, the court decided that VASP had suffered no damages even if the TJSP’s 1996 judgment regarding liability were affirmed. On April 20, 2018, VASP appealed this decision. We believe, however, and we have been advised, that it is not probable that VASP will ultimately be able to recover damages from us even if VASP prevails on the issue of liability. The outcome of the legal process is, however, uncertain. The ultimate amount of damages, if any, payable to VASP cannot reasonably be estimated at this time. We continue to actively pursue all courses of action that may reasonably be available to us and intend to defend our position vigorously.
In 2006, we brought actions against VASP in English and Irish courts seeking damages arising from the 1992 lease defaults. These actions resulted in judgments by the English court in the aggregate amount of approximately $40 million plus interest and judgments by the Irish court in the aggregate amount of approximately $36.9 million, all in our favor. VASP had meanwhile in 2008 been adjudicated as insolvent by a Brazilian bankruptcy court, which commenced bankruptcy proceedings. We have caused the English and Irish judgments to be domesticated in Brazil and submitted them as claims in the bankruptcy proceeding. The bankruptcy court has allowed the claims in the amount of $40 million in respect of the English judgments and $24 million in respect of the Irish judgments. We have been advised that it is not probable that VASP’s bankruptcy estate will have funds to pay its creditors but our court-approved claims may be used to offset any damages that VASP might be awarded in the Brazilian courts if for any reason we are not successful in defending ourselves against VASP’s claim for damages.

Transbrasil Litigation
We are party to a group of related actions arising from the leasing of various aircraft and engines to Transbrasil S/A Linhas Areas (“Transbrasil”), a now-defunct Brazilian airline. By 1998, Transbrasil had defaulted on various obligations under its leases with AerCap-related companies (the “AerCap Lessors”), along with other leases it had entered into with General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) and certain of its affiliates (collectively, with GECC, the “GE Lessors”). GECAS was the servicer for all these leases at the time. Subsequently, Transbrasil issued promissory notes (the “Notes”) to the AerCap Lessors and GE Lessors (collectively, the “Lessors”) in connection with restructurings of the leases. Transbrasil defaulted on the Notes and the Lessors individually brought enforcement actions against Transbrasil in 2001 (GECC also filed an action for the involuntary bankruptcy of Transbrasil).
Transbrasil brought a lawsuit against the Lessors in February 2001 (the “Transbrasil Lawsuit”), claiming that the Notes had in fact been paid at the time the Lessors brought the enforcement actions. In 2007, the trial judge ruled in favor of Transbrasil and the Lessors appealed. In April 2010, the appellate court published a judgment (the “2010 Judgment”) rejecting the Lessors’ appeal, ordering them to pay Transbrasil statutory penalties equal to double the face amount of the Notes (plus interest and monetary adjustments) as well as damages for any losses incurred as a result of the attempts to collect on the Notes. The 2010 Judgment provided that the amount of such losses would be calculated in separate proceedings in the trial court (the “Indemnity Claim”). In June 2010, the Lessors filed special appeals before the STJ in Brazil. In October 2013, the STJ granted the special appeals filed by the GE Lessors, effectively reversing the 2010 Judgment in most respects as to all of the Lessors. Transbrasil appealed this order, but the appellate panel in November 2016 rejected Transbrasil’s appeal, preserving the 2013 reversal of the 2010 Judgment. All appeals in respect of the Transbrasil Lawsuit based on the merits of the dispute have now concluded.
However, in July 2011, while the various appeals of the 2010 Judgment were pending, Transbrasil brought three actions for provisional enforcement of the 2010 Judgment (the “Provisional Enforcement Actions”): one to enforce the award of statutory penalties; a second to recover attorneys’ fees related to that award; and a third to enforce the Indemnity Claim. Transbrasil submitted its alleged calculation of statutory penalties, which, according to Transbrasil, amounted to approximately $210 million in the aggregate against all defendants, including interest and monetary adjustments.
In light of the STJ’s ruling in October 2013, the trial court has ordered the dismissal of the Transbrasil Provisional Enforcement Actions. The TJSP has since affirmed the dismissals of the actions seeking statutory penalties and attorneys’ fees. Lessors’ motion to clarify relating to the dismissal of the Provisional Enforcement Action with respect to the Indemnity Claim remains pending. We believe we have strong arguments to convince the court that Transbrasil suffered no material damage as a result of the defendants’ attempts to collect on the Notes.
The only matters remaining to be resolved are: (i) a motion to clarify relating to the dismissal of a lower court appeal with respect to the Indemnity Claim and (ii) a number of court-mandated legal fee assessments for (a) proofs of claim filed by the Lessors against the Transbrasil bankruptcy estate and (b) various otherwise-concluded enforcement proceedings, including the Provisional Enforcement Proceedings.

23. Fair value measurements
The Company determines fair value based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. It is our policy to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when developing fair value measurements, in accordance with the fair value hierarchy as described below. Where limited or no observable market data exists, fair value measurements for assets and liabilities are primarily based on management’s own estimates and are calculated based upon the economic and competitive environment, the characteristics of the asset or liability and other such factors. Therefore, the results may not be realized in actual sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability.
The degree of judgment used in measuring the fair value of a financial and non-financial asset or liability generally correlates with the level of pricing observability. We classify our fair value measurements based on the observability and significance of the inputs used in making the measurement, as provided below:
Level 1 — Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reported date.
Level 2 — Observable market data. Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets, liabilities (risk adjusted) and market-corroborated inputs, such as market comparables, interest rates, yield curves and other items that allow value to be determined.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs from our own assumptions about market risk developed based on the best information available, subject to cost-benefit analysis. Inputs may include our own data.
Fair value measurements are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis
As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our derivative portfolio consisted of interest rate swaps and caps. The fair value of derivatives is based on dealer quotes for identical instruments. We have also considered the credit rating and risk of the counterparty of the derivative contract based on quantitative and qualitative factors. As such, the valuation of these instruments was classified as Level 2.
The following tables present our financial assets and liabilities that we measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

23. Fair value measurements (Continued)
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis
We measure the fair value of certain definite-lived intangible assets and our flight equipment on a non-recurring basis, when U.S. GAAP requires the application of fair value, including when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of the assets may not be recoverable. Additional details of recoverability assessments performed on certain definite-lived intangible assets and our flight equipment are described in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on March 2, 2021.
Management develops the assumptions used in the fair value measurements. Therefore, the fair value measurements of definite-lived intangible assets and flight equipment are classified as Level 3 valuations.
Flight equipment
Inputs to non-recurring fair value measurements categorized as Level 3
We use the income approach to measure the fair value of flight equipment, which is based on the present value of estimated future cash flows. Key inputs to the income statement approach include the discount rate, current contractual lease cash flows, projected future non-contractual lease cash flows, extended to the end of the aircraft’s estimated holding period in its highest and best use, and a contractual or estimated disposition value.
The current contractual lease cash flows are based on the in-force lease rates. The projected future non-contractual lease cash flows are estimated based on the aircraft type, age, and the airframe and engine configuration of the aircraft. The projected non-contractual lease cash flows are applied to follow-on lease terms, which are estimated based on the age of the aircraft at the time of re-lease and are assumed through the estimated holding period of the aircraft. The estimated holding period is the period over which future cash flows are assumed to be generated. Shorter holding periods can result when a potential sale or future disassembly of an aircraft for the sale of its parts (“part-out”) of an individual aircraft has been contracted for, or is likely. In instances of a potential sale or part-out, the holding period is based on the estimated sale or part-out date. The disposition value is generally estimated based on aircraft type. In situations where the aircraft will be disposed of, the disposition value assumed is based on an estimated part-out value or the contracted sale price.
The estimated future cash flows, as described above, are then discounted to present value. The discount rate used is based on the aircraft type and incorporates assumptions market participants would use regarding the likely debt and equity financing components, and the required returns of those financing components.
The significant unobservable inputs utilized in the fair value measurement of flight equipment are the discount rate and the non-contractual cash flows. The discount rate is affected by movements in the aircraft funding markets, including fluctuations in required rates of return in debt and equity, and loan to value ratios. The non-contractual cash flows represent management’s estimate of the non-contractual cash flows over the remaining life of the aircraft. An increase in the discount rate would decrease the fair value measurement of the aircraft, while an increase in the estimated non-contractual cash flows would increase the fair value measurement of the aircraft.
Fair value disclosures of financial instruments
The fair value of restricted cash and cash and cash equivalents approximates their carrying value because of their short-term nature (Level 1). The fair value of our long-term unsecured debt is estimated using quoted market prices for similar or identical instruments, depending on the frequency and volume of activity in the market. The fair value of our long-term secured debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis based on current market interest rates and spreads for debt with similar characteristics (Level 2). Derivatives are recognized in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at their fair value. The fair value of derivatives is based on dealer quotes for identical instruments. We have also considered the credit rating and risk of the counterparties of the derivative contracts based on quantitative and qualitative factors (Level 2).
