JETBLUE ANNOUNCES SECOND QUARTER 2022 RESULTS
NEW YORK (October 25, 2022) -- JetBlue Airways Corporation (NASDAQ: JBLU) today reported its results for the third quarter of 2022:

•Reported GAAP diluted earnings per share of $0.18 in the third quarter of 2022 compared to diluted earnings per share of $0.63 in the third quarter of 2019. Adjusted diluted earnings per share was $0.21(1) in the third quarter of 2022 versus adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.59(1) in the third quarter of 2019.
•GAAP pre-tax income of $105 million in the third quarter of 2022, compared to a pre-tax income of $254 million in the third quarter of 2019. Excluding one-time items, adjusted pre-tax income of $118 million(1) in the third quarter of 2022 versus adjusted pre-tax income of $239 million(1) in the third quarter of 2019.


Operational and Financial Highlights from the Second Quarter
•Capacity was (0.5%) year over three, compared to our guidance for capacity to be (0.5%) to 0.5% year over three.

•Revenue per available seat mile increased 23.4% year over three, compared to our guidance of an increase of 22% to 24%, year over three. Revenue was above the high-end of our initial outlook as strong leisure and visiting friends and relatives (VFR) demand trends continued through the quarter. Hurricanes Fiona and Ian were a net neutral impact to our unit revenues in the third quarter, as revenue was offset by reduced capacity.
•Operating expenses per available seat mile increased 32.4% year over three. Operating expenses per available seat mile, excluding fuel and special items (CASM ex-fuel)(1) increased 16.3%(1) year over three, compared to our guidance of a 15% to 17% increase year over three.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity

•As of September 30, 2022, JetBlue’s adjusted debt to capital ratio was 53%(1).

•JetBlue ended the third quarter of 2022 with approximately $2.3 billion in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments, and long-term marketable securities, or 28% of 2019 revenue.

•On October 21, 2022, JetBlue amended its revolving credit facility to increase the lending commitments by $50 million to a total of $600 million and extended the maturity date to October 21, 2024.

Fuel Expense and Hedging

•The realized fuel price in the third quarter 2022 was $3.84 per gallon, an 86% increase versus third quarter 2019 realized fuel price of $2.06.

•As of October 25, 2022, JetBlue has entered into forward fuel derivative contracts to hedge an estimated 27% of its fuel consumption for the fourth quarter of 2022. Based on the forward curve as of October 14, 2022, JetBlue expects an average all-in price per gallon of fuel of $3.65 in the fourth quarter of 2022, including hedges.


Unlocking Immense Consumer Benefits Through the Northeast Alliance

•The Northeast Alliance (NEA) continues to unlock consumer benefits by providing customers with more choice as a true third-competitor in the Northeast.

•NEA growth is outpacing overall domestic and international industry capacity growth. Consumers continue to benefit as the NEA is launching new destinations, adding flights to others, enhancing schedules, and allowing our Loyalty customers the ability to benefit from two different programs.

•Consumers further benefit as the NEA has stimulated a clear competitive response. The dominant and entrenched carriers in the Northeast have responded by matching the NEA’s new destinations as well as expanding their own service, boosting competition in the region.


Making Further Progress as an ESG Leader

•We recently announced an agreement with Air Company, a JetBlue Ventures investment, to purchase 25 million gallons of its Airmade sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) over five years targeting delivery starting in 2027. This agreement is an important step in helping us reach our goal of converting 10% of our total jet fuel usage to SAF by 2030.

•We also announced the appointment of Nik Mittal to JetBlue’s board of directors, whose deep expertise in financial strategy and sustainability will bring even more focus on ESG matters at the highest level of company leadership.


Enhancing our Business for the Long-Term

“For the third quarter, we reached an important milestone in our recovery as we generated our first quarterly adjusted profit since the start of the pandemic. Looking ahead, we expect our profitability to carry through to another solid quarter of mid-single-digit pre-tax margins in the fourth quarter, and we’ll look to expand on that further in 2023 as we continue to restore our earnings power,” said Robin Hayes, JetBlue’s Chief Executive Officer.

“We continue to see a growing appetite for JetBlue’s unique customer value proposition of low fares and great service. With ample runway for growth ahead of us, we remain focused on execution and value creation for all our stakeholders.

I’m also pleased that last week Spirit shareholders overwhelmingly voted to approve our proposed acquisition. Together, we’ll build a truly national low-fare challenger to the dominant Big Four airlines and expand our compelling combination of award-winning service and low fares to more Customers across more destinations.”

Revenue and Capacity

“I’m proud of our team for their dedication in delivering the JetBlue experience to our customers through a very challenging summer and the most recent hurricanes. For the fourth quarter we expect capacity to be up 1% to 4% year over three, a modest sequential step-up versus the third quarter,” said Joanna Geraghty, JetBlue’s President and Chief Operating Officer.

“Throughout the quarter, strong leisure and VFR demand trends carried through the peak summer and into the fall trough period. We see that continuing here in the fourth quarter, and we’re confident in the demand backdrop for the year-end holiday peaks. For the fourth quarter, we expect unit revenue to increase between 15% and 19% year over three.”


Financial Performance and Outlook

“I’m pleased with the team’s execution in delivering our first quarter of profitability since the pandemic, an important milestone for us. We exceeded our original revenue guidance, maintained controllable costs in-line with our initial outlook despite the impact from hurricanes, resulting in a solid pre-tax margin result,” said Ursula Hurley, JetBlue’s Chief Financial Officer.

“The hurricanes negatively impacted CASM ex-Fuel by roughly one point to CASM-ex in the third quarter with no impact to the fourth quarter. Given the continued fragile aviation ecosystem, we are taking a cautious approach to operational investments and more conservative planning assumptions that we put in place for the summer.

For the fourth quarter, we are forecasting CASM ex-Fuel(2) to increase 8.5% to 10.5% year over three. This represents a sequential improvement of approximately 7 points, driven by efficiencies as we scale capacity up as well as early progress on our recently announced structural cost program.

In the third quarter, we paid down $66 million dollars of debt, funded $260 million dollars in capital expenditures, and paid $25 million dollars related to the Spirit transaction. The favorable Spirit shareholder vote on October 19 also triggered the prepayment of approximately $272 million dollars in the fourth quarter under the terms of our merger agreement. Looking ahead, we remain focused on maintaining a healthy liquidity position.”

Accordingly, a reconciliation to CASM is not available without unreasonable effort.

Note A - Non-GAAP Financial Measures
JetBlue uses non-GAAP financial measures in this press release. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The information below provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure and shows a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

- 9 -


Operating expense per available seat mile, excluding fuel and related taxes, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items (“CASM ex-fuel”)
Operating expenses per available seat mile, or CASM, is a common metric used in the airline industry. We exclude aircraft fuel and related taxes, operating expenses related to other non-airline businesses, such as JetBlue Technology Ventures and JetBlue Travel Products, and special items from operating expenses to determine CASM ex-fuel, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, special items include an impairment on our E190 fleet, the ALPA ratification bonus, expenses related to our takeover bid of Spirit airlines, and expenses related to implementation of our flight attendants' collective bargaining agreement.

Special items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 include one-time costs related to the Embraer E190 fleet transition as well as one-time costs related to the implementation of our pilots' collective bargaining agreement.

We believe that CASM ex-fuel is useful for investors because it provides investors the ability to measure financial performance excluding items beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors, or not related to the generation of an available seat mile, such as operating expense related to certain non-airline businesses. We believe this non-GAAP measure is more indicative of our ability to manage airline costs and is more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines.

With respect to JetBlue’s CASM ex-fuel guidance, JetBlue is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP because the excluded items have not yet occurred and cannot be reasonably predicted. The reconciling information that is unavailable would include a forward-looking range of financial performance measures beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors. Accordingly, a reconciliation to CASM is not available without unreasonable effort.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, special items include an impairment on our E190 fleet as well as retirement costs related to our E190 fleet, an ALPA ratification bonus and associated payroll taxes, expenses related to our takeover bid of Spirit airlines, and expenses related to implementation of our flight attendants' collective bargaining agreement.

Special items for the three and six months ended September 30, 2019 include one-time costs related to the Embraer E190 fleet transition as well as one-time costs related to the implementation of our pilots' collective bargaining agreement.

Mark-to-market and certain gains and losses on our investments were also excluded from our 2022 GAAP results.


We believe the impact of these items distort our overall trends and that our metrics are more comparable with the presentation of our results excluding the impact of these items. The table below provides a reconciliation of our GAAP reported amounts to the non-GAAP amounts excluding the impact of these items.

Adjusted debt to capitalization ratio

Adjusted debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial metric which we believe is helpful to investors in assessing the company's overall debt profile. Adjusted debt includes aircraft operating lease liabilities, in addition to total debt and finance leases, to present estimated financial obligations. Adjusted capitalization represents total equity plus adjusted debt.

1 CASM Ex-Fuel excludes fuel and related taxes, special items and operating expenses related to non-airline businesses. With respect to JetBlue’s CASM Ex-Fuel and guidance, JetBlue is not able to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP because the excluded items have not yet occurred and cannot be reasonably predicted. The reconciling information that is unavailable would include a forward-looking range of financial performance measures beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors beyond our control.
2 Includes fuel taxes.
3 JetBlue utilizes the forward Brent crude curve and the forward Brent crude to heating oil crack spread to calculate the unhedged portion of its prompt quarter. As of October 14, 2022, the forward Brent crude per barrel price was $90 and the crack spread averaged $64 per barrel for the fourth quarter of 2022.
4 Average share count for the period. The number of shares used in JetBlue’s actual earnings per share will likely be different than those stated above.

1 7 Non-GAAP Financial Measures JetBlue uses non-GAAP financial measures in this presentation. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The information in Appendices A and B provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure and shows a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

1 8 Operating expense per available seat mile, excluding fuel and related taxes, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items (“CASM Ex-Fuel”) Operating expenses per available seat mile, or CASM, is a common metric used in the airline industry. We exclude aircraft fuel and related taxes, operating expenses related to other non- airline businesses, such as JetBlue Ventures and JetBlue Travel Products, and special items from operating expenses to determine CASM ex-fuel, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, special items include an impairment on our E190 fleet as well as retirement costs related to our E190 fleet, an ALPA ratification bonus and associated payroll taxes, expenses related to our takeover bid of Spirit airlines, and expenses related to implementation of our flight attendants' collective bargaining agreement. Special items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 include one-time costs related to the Embraer E190 fleet transition as well as one-time costs related to the implementation of our pilots' collective bargaining agreement. We believe that CASM ex-fuel is useful for investors because it provides investors the ability to measure financial performance excluding items beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors, or not related to the generation of an available seat mile, such as operating expense related to certain non-airline businesses. We believe this non-GAAP measure is more indicative of our ability to manage airline costs and is more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines. With respect to JetBlue’s CASM ex-fuel guidance, JetBlue is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP because the excluded items have not yet occurred and cannot be reasonably predicted. The reconciling information that is unavailable would include a forward-looking range of financial performance measures beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors. Accordingly, a reconciliation to CASM is not available without unreasonable effort. $ per ASM $ per ASM $ per ASM $ per ASM Total operating expenses 2,423$ 14.94$ 1,839$ 11.29$ 7,084$ 14.76$ 5,490$ 11.50$ Less: Aircraft fuel and related taxes 825 5.08 471 2.89 2,305 4.80 1,392 2.92 Other non-airline expenses 14 0.09 10 0.07 29 0.06 32 0.07 Special items 13 0.08 - - 57 0.12 14 0.03 Operating expenses, excluding fuel 1,571$ 9.69$ 1,358$ 8.33$ 4,693$ 9.78$ 4,052$ 8.48$ 2019 Three Months Ended September 30, 20222022 2019 Nine Months Ended September 30, NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING EXPENSE PER ASM, EXCLUDING FUEL ($ in millions, per ASM data in cents) (unaudited)


 
1 9 Operating expense, (loss) income before taxes, net (loss) income, and (loss) earnings per share, excluding special items and net gain (loss) on investments Our GAAP results in the applicable periods were impacted by charges that are deemed special items. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, special items include an impairment on our E190 fleet as well as retirement costs related to our E190 fleet, an ALPA ratification bonus and associated payroll taxes, expenses related to our takeover bid of Spirit airlines, and expenses related to implementation of our flight attendants' collective bargaining agreement. Special items for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 include one-time costs related to the Embraer E190 fleet transition as well as one-time costs related to the implementation of our pilots' collective bargaining agreement. Mark-to-market and certain gains and losses on our investments were also excluded from our 2022 GAAP results. We believe the impact of these items distort our overall trends and that our metrics are more comparable with the presentation of our results excluding the impact of these items. The table below provides a reconciliation of our GAAP reported amounts to the non- GAAP amounts excluding the impact of these items. 2022 2019 2022 2019 Total operating revenues 2,562$ 2,086$ 6,743$ 6,063$ Total operating expenses 2,423$ 1,839$ 7,084$ 5,490$ Less: Special items 13 - 57 14 Total operating expenses excluding special items 2,410$ 1,839$ 7,027$ 5,476$ Operating (loss) income 139$ 247$ (341)$ 573$ Add back: Special items 13 - 57 14 Operating (loss) income excluding special items 152$ 247$ (284)$ 587$ Operating margin excluding special items 5.9% 11.8% -4.2% 9.7% (Loss) income before income taxes 105$ 254$ (443)$ 548$ Add back: Special items 13 - 57 14 Less: Net gain (loss) on investments - 15 (4) 15 (Loss) income before income taxes excluding special items and net gain (loss) on investments 118$ 239$ (382)$ 547$ Pre-tax margin excluding special itemsand net gain (loss) on investments 4.6% 11.4% -5.7% 9.4% Net (loss) income 57$ 187$ (386)$ 408$ Add back: Special items 13 - 57 14 Less: Income tax (expense) benefit related to special items 1 - 7 3 Less: Net gain (loss) on investments - 15 (4) 15 Less: Income tax (expense) benefit related to net gain (loss) on investments - (4) - (4) Net (loss) income excluding special items and net gain (loss) on investments 69$ 176$ (332)$ 408$ (Loss) earnings per common share: Basic 0.18$ 0.63$ (1.20)$ 1.36$ Add back: Special items, net of tax 0.03 - 0.16 0.03 Less: Net gain (loss) on investments, net of tax - 0.04 (0.01) 0.04 Basic excluding special items and net gain (loss) on investments 0.21$ 0.59$ (1.03)$ 1.35$ Diluted 0.18$ 0.63$ (1.20)$ 1.35$ Add back: Special items, net of tax 0.03 - 0.16 0.03 Less: Net gain (loss) on investments, net of tax - 0.04 (0.01) 0.03 Diluted excluding special items and net gain (loss) on investments 0.21$ 0.59$ (1.03)$ 1.35$ Three Months Ended September 30, Nine Months Ended September 30, NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING EXPENSE, (LOSS) INCOME BEFORE TAXES, NET (LOSS) INCOME, AND (LOSS) EARNINGS PER SHARE EXCLUDING SPECIAL ITEMS AND NET GAIN (LOSS) ON INVESTMENTS (in millions, except per share amounts) (unaudited)


 
2 0 APPENDIX B: CALCULATION OF LEVERAGE RATIOS LOCATION Adjusted debt to capitalization ratio Adjusted debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial metric which we believe is helpful to investors in assessing the company's overall debt profile. Adjusted debt includes aircraft operating lease liabilities, in addition to total debt and finance leases, to present estimated financial obligations. Adjusted capitalization represents total equity plus adjusted debt. September 30, 2022 December 31, 2021 Long-term debt and finance leases 3,235$ 3,651$ Current maturities of long-term debt and finance leases 524 355 Operating lease liabilities - aircraft 216 256 Adjusted debt 3,975$ 4,262$ Long-term debt and finance leases 3,235$ 3,651$ Current maturities of long-term debt and finance leases 524 355 Operating lease liabilities - aircraft 216 256 Stockholders' equity 3,507 3,849 Adjusted capitalization 7,482$ 8,111$ Adjusted debt to capitalization ratio 53% 53% NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURE ADJUSTED DEBT TO CAPITALIZATION RATIO (in millions) (unaudited)
