Revenue Increase Analysis: Total revenues rose by approximately 5% as compared to the prior year's quarter, benefiting from the growth of our fleet, partially offset by lower end-of-lease revenue.
Portfolio Revenue Stability: Our portfolio yielded, net of end-of-lease revenue, maintenance reserve revenue, and lease cost amortization remained relatively flat as compared to the second quarter.
End-of-Lease Revenue Decline: During the third quarter, we recognized a $12 million decrease in end-of-lease revenue as compared to the prior year period.
Limited Lease Expirations: As we've discussed previously, we've had very limited lease expirations in 2024, and most leases scheduled to expire were extended as a product of the strong demand environment that we are currently experiencing, resulting in very limited end-of-lease revenue recognized in the period.
