Investments in Affiliated Companies

Investments in affiliated companies represent investments in and loans to domestic and foreign affiliates, and primarily include entities that lease aircraft spare engines and railcars. The loan amount included in investments in affiliated companies was zero and $6.5 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017.

During 2017, we recorded an impairment loss of $3.0 million to reflect a decline in the value of the railcars remaining in the Adler Funding LLC fleet. As of December 31, 2018, all railcar assets have been sold, and the partnership is in the process of winding down remaining activities.

In 2015, as a result of our decision to exit the majority of our marine investments within our Portfolio Management segment, we sold our 50% interest in the Cardinal Marine joint venture. In 2016 and 2017, we recognized gains of $1.0 million and $1.1 million resulting from additional proceeds received related to the sale.

The following table presents our investments in affiliated companies and our ownership percentage in those companies by segment as of December 31, 2018 (in millions):

Summarized Financial Data for the RRPF Affiliates

Our affiliate investments include 50% interests in each of the RRPF affiliates, a group of seventeen domestic and foreign joint ventures with Rolls-Royce plc (or affiliates thereof, collectively “Rolls-Royce”), a leading manufacturer of commercial aircraft jet engines. The RRPF affiliates are primarily engaged in two business activities: lease financing of aircraft spare engines to a diverse group of commercial aircraft operators worldwide and lease financing of aircraft spare engines to Rolls-Royce for use in their engine maintenance programs. In aggregate, the RRPF affiliates owned 452 aircraft engines at December 31, 2018, of which 253 were on lease to Rolls-Royce. Aircraft engines are generally depreciated over a useful life of 25 years to an estimated residual value. Lease terms vary but typically range from 3 to 12 years. Rolls-Royce manages each of the RRPF affiliates and also performs substantially all required maintenance activities. Our share of affiliates' earnings (after-tax) from the RRPF affiliates was $49.8 million in 2018, $44.8 million in 2017, and $46.6 million in 2016.

We derived the following financial information from the combined financial statements of the RRPF affiliates.
