| ● | Capacity - The company expects its third-quarter capacity to be up approximately 2.0% to 3.0% versus the third quarter of 2024. |
||||
| ● | Total revenue - Third-quarter total revenue is expected to be down approximately 2.0% to up approximately 1.0% versus the third quarter of 2024. |
||||
| ● | CASM-ex1 - The company expects its third-quarter CASM-ex to be up approximately 2.5% to 4.5% versus the third quarter of 2024. |
||||
| ● | Adjusted operating margin1 - Based on current assumptions, the company expects its third-quarter adjusted operating margin to be approximately (1.0%) to 2.0%. |
||||
| ● | Third-quarter taxes - The company expects a benefit for income taxes at an estimated effective tax rate of approximately 20% for the third quarter, which is expected to be substantially non-cash. |
||||
| ● | Adjusted third-quarter EPS1 - Based on the assumptions outlined above, the company expects its third-quarter adjusted loss per diluted share to be between ($0.10) and ($0.60) based on an expected share count of 660.4 million shares2. |
||||
| ● | Adjusted full-year EPS1 - Based on recent booking trends, the company expects its full-year adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share to be between ($0.20) and $0.80, with a mid-point of $0.30. The company believes the top end of the range is achievable if demand in the domestic market continues to strengthen and only expects to be at the bottom end of the range if there were to be macro weaknesses that are not seen today. |
||||
| ● | Full-year taxes - At the mid-point of guidance, the company anticipates a full-year tax rate of approximately 35%. This rate is sensitive to fluctuations in pre-tax earnings due to certain permanent book differences that are not tax deductible. |
||||
| ● | Free cash flow3 - Based on the assumptions outlined above, the company expects to generate positive free cash flow for the year. |

| 1. | Includes guidance on certain non-GAAP measures, which exclude, among other things, net special items. CASM-ex is cost per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel and net special items and is a non-GAAP measure. All adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share guidance excludes the impact of net special items and are non-GAAP measures. The company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking information to GAAP as the nature or amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time. Numbers may not recalculate due to rounding. |

| 2. | Shares outstanding are based upon several estimates and assumptions, including average per share stock price and stock award activity. The number of shares in actual calculations of earnings (loss) per share will likely be different from those set forth above. | ||||
