Our people are the best in the industry, and we are pleased to recognize their efforts with more than $640 million accrued in the first half toward next year's profit sharing," said Ed Bastian, Delta’s chief executive officer.

 

"For the September quarter, we expect a double-digit operating margin and a pre-tax profit of approximately $1.5 billion. With strong first half results and visibility into the second half, we remain confident in our full-year guidance."

Revenue Environment and Outlook

 

“Peak summer travel demand remains strong and Delta is delivering elevated experiences for our customers. Consistent with our guidance, we generated record June quarter revenue 5.4 percent higher than the prior year. Diverse revenue streams, including premium and loyalty, contributed higher growth and margins, underpinning Delta’s industry-leading financial performance and increasing our financial durability,” said Glen Hauenstein, Delta’s president.

 

“As our international network and core hubs approach full restoration and we return to a normal cadence of retiring aircraft, Delta’s capacity growth is decelerating into the second half. We expect September quarter capacity growth of 5 to 6 percent and revenue growth of 2 to 4 percent, with sequential improvement in unit revenue trends through the quarter.”

 

Record June quarter revenue with leading operational performance: Delta delivered June quarter revenue that was 5.4 percent higher than 2023, driven by strong demand and best-in-class operations. Year to date, Delta has led the industry in completion factor and on-time performance, and operated 39 cancel-free, brand-perfect days. Adjusted total unit revenue (TRASM) was down 2.6 percent from the prior year.
Revenue diversification driving Delta's differentiation: Premium, loyalty and other diversified revenue streams comprised 56 percent of total revenue. Premium revenue grew 10 percent versus the June quarter 2023, with premium unit revenues positive year-over-year. Loyalty revenue was up 8 percent, driven by co-brand spend growth and increasing premium card mix. Remuneration from American Express for the June quarter was $1.9 billion, approximately 9 percent higher than 2023. Cargo revenue grew 16 percent year-over-year, a significant improvement from prior trends.
Corporate travel demand grew at double-digit levels: Managed corporate travel volumes* have grown double-digits for six consecutive months, with broad-based demand as all sectors increased year-over-year. Recent corporate survey results indicate that 90 percent of companies expect their travel volumes to increase or stay the same in the September quarter and beyond.
International performance built on record 2023: International passenger revenue was 4 percent higher than June quarter of 2023. Demand across the Transatlantic remains very strong, with unit revenue in line with last year's record performance excluding the impact from the summer Olympics in Paris. Pacific and Latin America accounted for the majority of international capacity growth on continued network restoration and improving connectivity with our JV partners.

 

*Corporate travel volumes represent the number of tickets sold to corporate contracted customers, including tickets for travel during and beyond the referenced time period

Cost Performance and Outlook

 

“For the June quarter, we came in at the midpoint of our guidance with earnings of $2.36 per share. Delta's operational excellence drove an incremental point of capacity growth and unit cost favorability, with non-fuel unit costs 0.6 percent higher than last year,” said Dan Janki, Delta’s chief financial officer. “Growth continues to normalize and our teams are consistently running a great operation, enabling us to deliver efficiency. In the September quarter, we expect non-fuel unit costs to increase 1 to 2 percent year-over-year as capacity growth moderates.”

 

June Quarter 2024 Cost Performance

 

Operating expense of $14.4 billion and adjusted operating expense of $13.1 billion
Adjusted non-fuel costs of $9.8 billion
Non-fuel CASM was 13.14¢, an increase of 0.6 percent year-over-year
Adjusted fuel expense of $2.8 billion was up 12 percent year-over-year
Adjusted fuel price of $2.64 per gallon increased 5 percent year-over-year with a refinery benefit of 6¢ per gallon
Fuel efficiency, defined as gallons per 1,000 ASMs, was 14.3, a 1.1 percent improvement year-over-year

 

Balance Sheet, Cash and Liquidity

 

“Through the first half of the year, Delta delivered $2.7 billion in free cash flow, enabling $2.1 billion in debt repayment and a 50 percent increase in our quarterly dividend beginning in the September quarter,” Janki said. “Debt reduction remains our top financial priority and we are progressing toward investment grade ratings, with gross leverage improving to 2.8x at the end of the first half.”

 

Adjusted net debt of $19.2 billion at June quarter end, a reduction of $2.3 billion from the end of 2023
Payments on debt and finance lease obligations for the June quarter of $1.4 billion
Weighted average interest rate of 4.3 percent with 94 percent fixed rate debt and 6 percent variable rate debt

Note A: The following tables show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons Delta uses these measures are described below. Reconciliations may not calculate due to rounding.

 

Delta sometimes uses information ("non-GAAP financial measures") that is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements, but that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The tables below show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

 

Forward Looking Projections. Delta is not able to reconcile forward looking non-GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort because the adjusting items such as those used in the reconciliations below will not be known until the end of the period and could be significant.

 

Adjustments. These reconciliations include certain adjustments to GAAP measures that are made to provide comparability between the reported periods, if applicable, and for the reasons indicated below:

 

MTM adjustments on investments. Mark-to-market ("MTM") unrealized gains/losses result from our equity investments that are accounted for at fair value in non-operating expense. The gains/losses are driven by changes in stock prices, foreign currency fluctuations and other valuation techniques for investments in certain companies, particularly those without publicly-traded shares. Adjusting for these gains/losses allows investors to better understand and analyze our core operational performance in the periods shown.

 

MTM adjustments and settlements on hedges. MTM adjustments are defined as fair value changes recorded in periods other than the settlement period. Such fair value changes are not necessarily indicative of the actual settlement value of the underlying hedge in the contract settlement period, and therefore we remove this impact to allow investors to better understand and analyze our core performance. Settlements represent cash received or paid on hedge contracts settled during the applicable period.

 

Loss on extinguishment of debt. This adjustment relates to early termination of a portion of our debt. Adjusting for these losses allows investors to better understand and analyze our core operational performance in the periods shown.

 

Third-party refinery sales. Refinery sales to third parties, and related expenses, are not related to our airline segment. Excluding these sales therefore provides a more meaningful comparison of our airline operations to the rest of the airline industry.

 

One-time pilot agreement expenses. In the March 2023 quarter, Delta pilots ratified a new four-year Pilot Working Agreement effective January 1, 2023. The agreement included a provision for a one-time payment made upon ratification in the March 2023 quarter of $735 million. Additionally, we recorded adjustments to other benefit-related items of approximately $130 million. Adjusting for these expenses allows investors to better understand and analyze our core cost performance.

Operating Cash Flow, adjusted. We present operating cash flow, adjusted because management believes adjusting for the following item provides a more meaningful measure for investors:

 

Net cash flows related to certain airport construction projects and other. Cash flows related to certain airport construction projects are included in our GAAP operating activities. We have adjusted for these items, which were primarily funded by cash restricted for airport construction, to provide investors a better understanding of the company's operating cash flow that is core to our operations in the periods shown.

Net cash flows related to certain airport construction projects and other     8       38  
Net cash provided by operating activities, adjusted   $ 2,458     $ 2,648  

 

Free Cash Flow. We present free cash flow because management believes this metric is helpful to investors to evaluate the company's ability to generate cash that is available for use for debt service or general corporate initiatives. Free cash flow is also used internally as a component of our incentive compensation programs. Free cash flow is defined as net cash from operating activities and net cash from investing activities, adjusted for (i) net redemptions of short-term investments, (ii) net cash flows related to certain airport construction projects and other, and (iii) financed aircraft acquisitions. These adjustments are made for the following reasons:

 

Net redemptions of short-term investments. Net redemptions of short-term investments represent the net purchase and sale activity of investments and marketable securities in the period, including gains and losses. We adjust for this activity to provide investors a better understanding of the company's free cash flow generated by our operations.

 

Net cash flows related to certain airport construction projects and other. Cash flows related to certain airport construction projects are included in our GAAP operating activities and capital expenditures. We have adjusted for these items, which were primarily funded by cash restricted for airport construction, to provide investors a better understanding of the company's free cash flow and capital expenditures that are core to our operations in the periods shown.

 

Financed aircraft acquisitions. This adjustment reflects aircraft deliveries that are leased as capital expenditures. The adjustment is based on their original contractual purchase price or an estimate of the aircraft's fair value and provides a more meaningful view of our investing activities.

Adjusted Debt to Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, Amortization and Rent ("EBITDAR"). We present adjusted debt to EBITDAR because management believes this metric is helpful to investors in assessing the company's overall debt profile. Adjusted debt includes operating lease liabilities and sale leaseback liabilities. We calculate EBITDAR by adding depreciation and amortization to GAAP operating income and adjusting for the fixed portion of operating lease expense.

After-tax Return on Invested Capital ("ROIC"). We present after-tax return on invested capital as management believes this metric is helpful to investors in assessing the company's ability to generate returns using its invested capital as a measure against the industry. Return on invested capital is tax-effected adjusted total pre-tax income divided by average adjusted invested capital. Average adjusted invested capital represents the sum of the adjusted book value of equity at the end of the last five quarters, adjusted for pension impacts within other comprehensive income. Average adjusted gross debt is calculated using amounts as of the end of the last five quarters. All adjustments to calculate ROIC are intended to provide a more meaningful comparison of our results to the airline industry.

 

Amortization of retirement actuarial loss. This adjustment relates to actuarial gains/losses on our benefit plans. Adjusting for these results allows investors to better understand our core operational performance in the periods shown as it removes prior period differences in assumptions and actual experience within our benefit plans.

 

Interest expense, net and interest expense included in aircraft rent. This adjustment relates to interest expense related to debt and financing transactions. Adjusting for these results allows investors to better understand our core operational performance in the periods shown as it neutralizes the effect of our capital structure.

Adjusted Non-Fuel Cost and Non-Fuel Unit Cost or Cost per Available Seat Mile, ("CASM-Ex")

 

We adjust operating expense and CASM for certain items described above, as well as the following items and reasons described below:

 

Aircraft fuel and related taxes. The volatility in fuel prices impacts the comparability of year-over-year financial performance. The adjustment for aircraft fuel and related taxes allows investors to better understand and analyze our non-fuel costs and year-over-year financial performance.

 

Profit sharing. We adjust for profit sharing because this adjustment allows investors to better understand and analyze our recurring cost performance and provides a more meaningful comparison of our core operating costs to the airline industry.

Adjusted Net Debt. Delta uses adjusted total debt, including aircraft rent, in addition to adjusted debt and finance leases, to present estimated financial obligations. Delta reduces adjusted total debt by cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and LGA restricted cash, resulting in adjusted net debt, to present the amount of assets needed to satisfy the debt. Management believes this metric is helpful to investors in assessing the company's overall debt profile.

Gross Capital Expenditures. We adjust capital expenditures for the following items to determine gross capital expenditures for the reasons described below:

 

Financed aircraft acquisitions. This adjusts capital expenditures to reflect aircraft deliveries that are leased as capital expenditures. The adjustment is based on their original contractual purchase price or an estimate of the aircraft's fair value and provides a more meaningful view of our investing activities.

 

Net cash flows related to certain airport construction projects. Cash flows related to certain airport construction projects are included in capital expenditures. We have adjusted for these items because management believes investors should be informed that a portion of these capital expenditures from airport construction projects are either funded with restricted cash specific to these projects or reimbursed by a third party.

Delta incurs employer taxes and other costs which add 2% to 2.5% at the 10% level and 3% to 4% at the 20% level. Adjusted annual profit is calculated as the company’s annual pre - tax income before profit sharing expense, special items, and certain other items. Profit sharing expense is accrued at a blended rate based on the company’s estimated profitability for the full year , weighted by each period's relative profit. Any losses must be fully recovered before profit sharing expense begins accruing.

Non - GAAP Reconciliations Non - GAAP Financial Measures Delta sometimes uses information ("non - GAAP financial measures") that is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements, but that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, non - GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The tables below show reconciliations of the non - GAAP financial measures used in this update to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. The reconciliations may not calculate due to rounding. Delta is not able to reconcile certain forward looking non - GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort because the adjusting items such as those used in the reconciliations below will not be known until the end of the indicated future periods and could be significant. Adjustments. The following reconciliations include certain adjustments to GAAP measures that are made to provide comparability between the reported periods, if applicable, and for the reasons indicated below: Third - party refinery sales . Refinery sales to third parties, and related expenses, are not related to our airline segment. Excluding these sales therefore provides a more meaningful comparison of our airline operations to the rest of the airline industry. Aircraft fuel and related taxes. The volatility in fuel prices impacts the comparability of year - over - year financial performance. The adjustment for aircraft fuel and related taxes allows investors to better understand and analyze our non - fuel costs and year - over - year financial performance. Profit sharing. We adjust for profit sharing because this adjustment allows investors to better understand and analyze our recurring cost performance and provides a more meaningful comparison of our core operating costs to the airline industry.
