Babcock & Brown was incorporated in May 2007 and went public through an initial public offering in September 2007.

Analysts surveyed by Thomson Financial forecast a fourth-quarter loss of 7 cents per share.

The company's quarterly revenue totaled $33.3 million, which was offset by $27.6 million in expenses.

"Despite concerns about a slowdown in economic activity in North America, demand for leased aircraft remains strong, particularly from airlines in the emerging markets," said Chief Executive Colm Barrington.

From Babcock & Brown's date of incorporation through Dec. 31, the company reported earnings of $2.3 million, or 19 cents per share. Revenue totaled $33.3 million.

Babcock & Brown shares closed Tuesday at $14.64, which is 36 percent below the company's initial public offering price of $23.
