Alton’s solution brings a focus on the following key differentiators:

• Accuracy: Our proprietary forecasting model, unencumbered by legacy approaches, features a clean-sheet design with numerous design enhancements derived from 30+ collective years modeling maintenance cash flows. Our experience working on precedent transactions with sophisticated asset managers and investors has shown differentials emerging from our model to be limited, a testament to the accuracy of our model and processes.
• Transparency: With a fundamental commitment to transparency for the benefit of all stakeholders, our forecast has been designed to provide granular detail that far surpasses the final cash inflows and outflows aggregated an asset level that come from other sources. Alton’s projections provide full detail as to the status / condition of each component at each period, cost and intervals, maintenance event drivers and work scopes, and cash flows by source.
• Speed: In part because of this enhanced transparency and accuracy, and in part because of numerous innovations (such as the use of cloud computing technology) and our resourcing commitment at Alton, we have demonstrated an ability to substantially compress timelines, such that modeling the maintenance cash flows are no longer pacing items.
• Flexibility/Innovation: Alton is committed to working closely with market participants to understand any unique circumstances, and we maintain significant capability to customize our model and assumptions to meet the evolving needs and requests of lessors / issuers, rating agencies, banks, and investors. Alton engages in continuous improvement to further enhance its offering.
