Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or the Company’s present expectations.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which this report was filed with the SEC.

"Risk Factors” within the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Some of these risks include competition, labor costs, relations, and availability, general economic conditions, increases in operating costs including fuel, uncertainties regarding the ability to successfully integrate the operations of the recently completed acquisition of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. and the ability to realize anticipated cost savings, synergies, or growth from the acquisition, inability to meet cost reduction and other strategic goals, seasonal fluctuations in demand and financial results, supply chain risks, events that negatively impact aviation safety and security, cybersecurity risks, and changes in laws and regulations that impact our business.

Consistent with these requirements, this Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. It should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to fairly present the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 2025 and the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature. Certain rows, columns, figures, or percentages may not recalculate due to rounding.

In preparing these statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses, including impairment charges. Due to seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, changes in global economic conditions, changes in the competitive environment, and other factors, operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.

Tax legislation

In July 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act was signed into law. The legislation modifies certain business tax provisions, including changes made to bonus depreciation, amortization of research and experimental expenditures under Section 174, and business interest expense limitation under Section 163(j). The Company does not expect the legislation to have a material impact on our income tax expense for 2025.

NOTE 2. ACQUISITION OF HAWAIIAN HOLDINGS, INC.

On September 18, 2024, the Company completed its acquisition of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. The Company paid shareholders $ 18.00 per share, or approximately $ 936 million in cash for 52 million outstanding voting shares of Hawaiian. An additional $ 41 million was paid in cash for change in control payments and settlement of accelerated and vested awards, resulting in total consideration of $ 977 million. The combination brings together two complementary networks and expands consumer choice across Hawai'i, the West Coast, and international destinations. Along with enhanced network utility, the combined carriers' diversified product offerings and focus on high quality service and operational performance enhance Air Group's competitive position.

Fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed

NOTE 4. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

In determining fair value, there is a three-level hierarchy based on the reliability of the inputs used.

Level 1 refers to fair values based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2 refers to fair values estimated using significant other observable inputs such as similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instrument in markets that are not active. Fair values for Level 2 instruments are determined using standard valuation models that incorporate inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets, interest rates, benchmark curves, credit ratings, and other observable inputs or market data.

Level 3 refers to fair values estimated using significant unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets. Fair values for Level 3 instruments are determined using future cash flows and discount rates, which include information obtained from third-party valuation sources and other market sources, including recent offers from potential buyers.

Fair value of financial instruments measured on a recurring basis

As of September 30, 2025, cost basis and fair value for marketable securities were $ 1.5 billion. Differences in cost basis and fair value of marketable securities are primarily a result of changes in interest rates and general market conditions. The Company does not believe any unrealized losses are the result of credit quality based on its evaluation of industry and duration exposure, credit ratings of the securities, liquidity profiles, and other observable information as of September 30, 2025.

Approximately $ 521 million of the Company's total variable-rate notes payable are effectively fixed via interest rate swaps at September 30, 2025, resulting in an effective weighted-average interest rate for the full debt portfolio of 4.7 %.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company incurred debt of $ 452 million from multiple lenders and sources. New debt includes proceeds of $ 383 million, secured by aircraft. Additionally, $ 69 million was incurred as part of an agreement to finance certain E175 deliveries. Debt from the E175 financing is reflected as a non-cash transaction within the supplemental disclosures in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company made debt payments of $ 389 million.

In the third quarter, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, amended its variable rate term loan facility, secured by assets associated with the Atmos Rewards program. The amendment provides for a repricing of the loan under the facility.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company prepaid approximately $ 67 million of variable-rate debt acquired with Hawaiian.

Contingencies

The Company is a party to routine litigation matters incidental to its business and with respect to which no material liability is expected. Liabilities for litigation related contingencies are recorded when a loss is determined to be probable and estimable.

As part of the 2016 acquisition of Virgin America, Alaska assumed responsibility for the Virgin trademark license agreement with the Virgin Group. In 2019, pursuant to that agreement's venue provision, the Virgin Group sued Alaska in England, alleging that the agreement requires Alaska to pay $ 8 million per year as a minimum annual royalty through 2039, adjusted annually for inflation and irrespective of Alaska's actual use (or non-use) of the mark. Alaska stopped making royalty payments in 2019 after ending all use of the Virgin brand. On February 16, 2023, the commercial court issued a ruling adopting Virgin Group’s interpretation of the license agreement. Alaska appealed the decision. On June 11, 2024, the appellate court issued a final decision affirming the lower court ruling in favor of the Virgin Group. Alaska also commenced a separate claim for breach of the agreement against the Virgin Group that may affect Alaska’s total liability in the matter. Alaska holds an accrual for $ 65 million in Other accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, representing the expenses associated with the trademark license agreement incurred through September 30, 2025, and management's current estimate of the amount due to the Virgin Group. Subsequent to quarter end, Alaska was ordered to pay Virgin Group $ 32 million, representing past due royalties through September 2022, when Alaska commenced its separate claim against Virgin Group. The payment was fully accrued for as of September 30, 2025.

Credit card agreements

Alaska and Hawaiian have agreements with certain credit card companies to process the sale of tickets and other services. Under these agreements, there are material adverse change clauses that, if triggered, could result in the credit card companies holding back a reserve of up to 100% of the credit card receivable balance associated with that processor, which would result in a restriction of cash. For example, certain agreements require Alaska to maintain a reserve if Air Group's credit rating is downgraded to or below a rating specified by the agreement or if its cash and marketable securities balance fell below $ 500 million. The Company is not currently required to maintain any reserve under these agreements. If Air Group were unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could have a material impact on the Company's operations, business or financial condition.

NOTE 8. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Common stock repurchase

In December 2024, the Board of Directors authorized a $ 1 billion share repurchase program. Under this program, the Company repurchased 10.6 million shares for $ 540 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the program has $ 460 million remaining. Under the previous share repurchase program, the Company repurchased 1.6 million shares for $ 63 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

CARES Act warrant issuances

As taxpayer protection required under the Payroll Support Program under the CARES Act, the Company granted the U.S. government a total of 1,455,437 warrants to purchase ALK common stock in 2020 and 2021. An additional 427,080 warrants were issued in conjunction with a draw on the CARES Act Loan in 2020. The value of the warrants was estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model and was recorded in stockholders' equity at issuance. These warrants are non-voting, freely transferable, may be settled as net shares or in cash at the Company's option, and have a five-year term. In 2024, the warrants were sold at auction to a third party investor. The sale had no impact to the amount held on the Company's balance sheet.

In the first quarter of 2025, 1,660,705 of the warrants were exercised, with an exercise price of $ 31.61 for 1,355,206 warrants and $ 52.25 for 305,499 warrants, in a net share settlement for 809,768 shares of ALK common stock. 221,812 warrants were outstanding with an exercise price of $ 66.39 as of September 30, 2025.

NOTE 9. EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, including the dilutive effect of outstanding share-based instruments such as employee stock awards and warrants.

As of September 30, 2025, Air Group has three operating airlines – Alaska, Hawaiian, and Horizon. Each is regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration. Alaska has CPAs for regional capacity with Horizon and SkyWest.

Air Group's Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) is its President and CEO. In the third quarter of 2024, the CODM began to review financial results for Hawaiian to assess performance and make resource allocation decisions for Air Group. As a result, the Company determined Hawaiian was an operating and reportable segment.

Air Group's network and schedules are centrally managed for all its operating airlines and CPA flying. Managing the business in an integrated manner enables the Company to leverage its comprehensive network, route scheduling system, and fleet as a single business. The CODM makes resource allocation decisions to deliver optimized consolidated financial results, regardless of the profitability of an individual segment. Subsequent to quarter end, Air Group combined Alaska and Hawaiian under a single operating certificate. Management anticipates the discrete information provided to the CODM may similarly be combined. Management is considering other changes to internal reporting that may impact the discrete information provided to the CODM to better align with the way the business is managed. These changes may have an impact on the Company's reportable segments once finalized.

The CODM reviews financial performance information as part of three reportable operating segments which are described above:

• Alaska Airlines - includes scheduled air transportation on Alaska's Boeing aircraft for passengers and cargo.

• Hawaiian Airlines - includes scheduled air transportation on Hawaiian's Boeing and Airbus aircraft for passengers and cargo.

• Regional - includes Horizon's and other third-party carriers’ scheduled air transportation on E175 aircraft for passengers under CPAs. This segment includes the actual revenue and expenses associated with regional flying, as well as an allocation of corporate overhead incurred by Air Group on behalf of the regional operations.

The below tables present segment revenue and expenses for Air Group's reportable segments. Air Group's measure of segment profit or loss is pretax profit, which is used by the CODM to evaluate financial results. Additionally, reconciliations of the pretax profit of all reportable segments to Air Group's consolidated income before income tax are provided. Certain immaterial reclassifications have been made within segment operating expenses between the Alaska Airlines and Regional segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. These reclassifications had no impact to consolidated results.

NOTE 12. SPECIAL ITEMS

The Company has classified certain operating activities as special items due to their unusual or infrequently occurring nature. Disclosing information about these items separately may assist with comparable year over year analysis and allow stakeholders to better understand Air Group's results of operations.

Integration costs: Integration costs were associated with the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines and consist of employee-related costs, legal and professional fees, technology costs, and other merger costs.

Labor and other: Labor and other costs in 2025 were primarily for changes to Alaska flight attendants' sick leave benefits pursuant to a new collective bargaining agreement ratified in the first quarter of 2025. Costs in 2024 were associated with new labor agreements, the retirement of Alaska's Airbus and Horizon's Q400 aircraft, and certain litigation items.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand our company and the present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to – and should be read in conjunction with – our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. All statements in the following discussion that are not statements of historical information or descriptions of current accounting policy are forward-looking statements. Please consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks referred to in this report’s introductory cautionary note and the risks mentioned in Item 1A. "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. This overview summarizes the MD&A, which includes the following sections:

• Third Quarter Review - highlights from the third quarter of 2025 outlining some of the major events that occurred during the period, as well as forward-looking statements.

• Results of Operations - an in-depth analysis of our financial and operational results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.

• Liquidity and Capital Resources - an overview of our financial position, analysis of cash flows, and relevant material cash commitments.

• GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliations and Operating Statistics - reconciliations of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis, as well as operating statistics we use to measure operating performance.

Dollar amounts in the MD&A are generally rounded to the nearest million. As a result, a manual recalculation of certain figures using these rounded amounts may not agree directly to our actual figures presented in the tables below.

Items affecting comparability

As Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. was acquired by Air Group on September 18, 2024, prior year figures are inclusive of Hawaiian results from September 18, 2024 onward. Due to the size of the two companies prior to the acquisition, the reported results for 2025 and 2024 are not comparable. To assist with the discussion of 2025 and 2024 results on a comparable basis and provide more meaningful discussion, certain supplemental unaudited pro forma income statement and operating statistics information is provided for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024. Pro forma historical results were included with the Form 8-K filed on January 22, 2025. This information does not purport to reflect what our financial and operational results would have been had the acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented.

Cybersecurity incident

As previously disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 27, 2025, on June 23, 2025, Hawaiian Airlines identified a cybersecurity incident affecting certain information technology systems. Upon identifying this incident, we followed our response protocols and immediately took steps to safeguard our network by disconnecting impacted Hawaiian systems and applications. Access for all systems was restored. Hawaiian's flights were not interrupted and continued to operate safely throughout our response. We have engaged the relevant authorities and experts to assist in our investigation and ongoing remediation efforts.

Based on information currently available, we do not believe the incident had, or is expected to have, a material impact on Hawaiian's business, results of operations, or financial condition. The investigation remains active and therefore we are unable to determine the full impact of the incident at this time.

For a discussion of our risk factors associated with cybersecurity threats, please refer to Part I Item 1A. "Risk Factors" within our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

THIRD QUARTER REVIEW

Overview

We reported income before income tax under GAAP for the third quarter of 2025 of $111 million, compared to $328 million for the third quarter of 2024. On a pro forma basis, the pretax income for the third quarter of 2024 was $255 million. Refer below for a more detailed discussion of the items impacting these results.

On July 20, 2025, Alaska Air Group experienced an IT outage that affected operations. A temporary ground stop was put in place for Alaska and Horizon and was lifted later that day. Approximately 200 flights were canceled. The irregular operations resulting from the outage negatively impacted third quarter results by approximately $20 million.

Labor update

In the third quarter, McGee Air Services employees, represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM), ratified a five-year agreement. Horizon is negotiating with its pilots represented by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (IBT), flight attendants represented by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), and dispatchers represented by the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU) for updated collective bargaining agreements. A mediator from the National Mediation Board is participating in negotiations with AFA and TWU.

Alaska and Hawaiian are working towards joint collective bargaining agreements (JCBA) for workgroups represented by common unions. Alaska and Hawaiian have Transition and Process Agreements for certain workgroups which define the process for negotiating JCBAs and set forth interim agreements until a JCBA is reached.

Loyalty program update

In August 2025, we launched Atmos Rewards, a loyalty program combining Alaska’s Mileage Plan and Hawaiian’s HawaiianMiles. While the program's launch did not have a material impact on third quarter financial results, we continue to assess member engagement and redemption behavior to determine potential future impacts as the program progresses. In September 2025, amendments made to the Atmos Rewards co-branded credit card agreement with Bank of America took effect resulting in modifications to the separately identifiable performance obligations.

Subsequent events

• IT related operational disruptions - Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on October 23, 2025, Alaska Air Group experienced a failure at a primary data center resulting in an IT outage that affected operations. A temporary ground stop was put in place for Alaska and Horizon. The ground stop was lifted the same day. The disruption resulted in approximately 500 canceled flights and approximately 50,000 guests were impacted. Additionally, on October 29, 2025, a global outage impacted Microsoft's Azure platform where several Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines technologies are hosted, causing a disruption to key systems and our websites. The outage did not result in any flight cancellations, but did result in flight delays. The Company has not yet quantified the full financial impacts of these disruptions.

• Single operating certificate - Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on October 29, 2025, Alaska and Hawaiian obtained a single operating certificate from the FAA, our most significant integration milestone to date. This will ease our transition to a single passenger service system in spring of 2026.

Outlook

We anticipate fourth quarter unit revenue to increase low single digits year-over-year, building on last year’s solid performance. Unit costs for the fourth quarter are expected to increase low single-digits year-over-year and reflect significant cost synergies, with fourth quarter capacity growth expected to be 2% to 3% year-over-year. Economic fuel price per gallon is expected to remain a headwind due to ongoing volatility. This outlook does not include the financial impact of the IT outage that occurred on October 23, 2025 or the financial impact of the October 29, 2025 Microsoft Azure outage impacting Alaska Air Group services as we continue to evaluate the incidents. We intend to update our outlook later in the fourth quarter, once the full financial impact of the IT disruptions is understood.

PRO FORMA OPERATING REVENUE

On a pro forma basis, total operating revenue increased $27 million, or 1%. The changes, including the reconciliation of the impact of Hawaiian on the combined results, are summarized in the following table:


	Three Months Ended September 30,								Change
(in millions)	2025		2024 As Reported		2024 Hawaiian Airlines (a)		2024 Pro forma		$ Change		% Change

The table below presents total operating revenue by principal geographic region (as defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation) and the percentage of change of certain operational results on a pro forma basis for the three months ended September 30, 2025.


	Three Months Ended September 30, 2025		% Change vs. Pro forma Prior Year
(in millions)	Total Operating Revenue		Passenger Revenue	RPMs	ASMs	Yield	PRASM

Pacific	155		(22)%	6%	10%	(27)%	(30)%
Total	$	3,766	—%	(2)%	(1)%	2%	1%

Passenger revenue

On a pro forma basis, Passenger revenue was flat, on a 2% increase in yield offset by a 2% decrease in traffic. Hawaiian passenger revenue has improved meaningfully, driven by demand environment strength in the state of Hawai'i and synergy and commercial initiatives announced in 2024. Increased premium revenue and a rebound in corporate travel also contributed to improved results. Decreased capacity in the third quarter was a response to softening demand.

Loyalty program other revenue

On a pro forma basis, Loyalty program other revenue increased $3 million, or 2%, due to higher commission revenue from bank card and third party partners driven by higher consumer spend.

Cargo and other revenue

On a pro forma basis, Cargo and other revenue increased $24 million, or 20%, driven by six additional A330-300F aircraft in Hawaiian's cargo fleet under the ATSA with Amazon. Increased international cargo volumes driven by the launch of our Seattle-Seoul route also contributed to the increase.

PRO FORMA OPERATING EXPENSES

On a pro forma basis, total operating expenses increased $185 million, or 5%. The changes, including the reconciliation of the impact of Hawaiian on the combined results, are summarized below. We believe it is useful to summarize operating expenses as follows, which is consistent with the way expenses are reported internally and evaluated by management:


	Three Months Ended September 30,								Change
(in millions)	2025		2024 As Reported		2024 Hawaiian Airlines (a)		2024 Pro forma		$ Change		% Change

(a) As provided on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 22, 2025, including certain immaterial reclassification and policy adjustments and the impact of purchase accounting.

Fuel expense

Aircraft fuel expense includes raw fuel expense plus the effect of mark-to-market adjustments to our fuel hedge portfolio as the value of that portfolio increases and decreases. Our aircraft fuel expense can be volatile because it includes these gains or losses in the value of the underlying instrument as crude oil prices increase or decrease. Raw fuel expense is defined as the price that we generally pay at the airport, or the “into-plane” price, including taxes and fees. Raw fuel prices are impacted by world oil prices and refining costs, which can vary by region in the U.S. Raw fuel expense approximates cash paid to suppliers and does not reflect the effect of our fuel hedges.

Alaska and Hawaiian previously used crude oil call options to hedge fuel expense. Alaska's fuel hedge program was suspended in 2023 and all remaining positions were settled in the first quarter of 2025. Hawaiian's fuel hedge program was suspended in the first quarter of 2025 and all remaining positions were settled in the third quarter of 2025.


	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2025				2024 Pro forma
(in millions, except for per gallon amounts)	Dollars		Cost/Gal			Dollars		Cost/Gal
Raw or "into-plane" fuel cost	$	761	$	2.51		$	777	$	2.57
Losses on settled hedges	—		—			10		0.03
Economic fuel expense	761		2.51			787		2.60
Mark-to-market fuel hedge adjustments	—		—			(4)		(0.01)
Aircraft fuel, including hedging gains and losses	$	761	$	2.51		$	783	$	2.59
Fuel gallons			303					302

On a pro forma basis, aircraft fuel expense decreased $22 million, or 3%. Raw fuel expense decreased by 2%, driven by lower per gallon costs on crude oil, partially offset by higher refining margins associated with the conversion of crude oil to jet fuel.

Non-fuel expense

The table below summarizes our operating expense line items, excluding fuel and other special items, on a pro forma basis. Generally, increases to these expenses are driven by capacity increases and growth of the Company's operations. Significant or unusual changes compared to 2024 on a pro forma basis are more fully described below.

Wages and benefits

The primary components of wages and benefits, including a reconciliation of 2024 on a pro forma basis, are shown in the following table:


	Three Months Ended September 30,								Change
(in millions)	2025		2024 As Reported		2024 Hawaiian Airlines		2024 Pro forma		$ Change		% Change
Wages	$	930	$	663	$	170	$	833	$	97	12%
Pension - Defined benefit plans	7		7		3		10		(3)		(30)%
Defined contribution plans	87		59		18		77		10		13%
Medical and other benefits	141		110		17		127		14		11%
Payroll taxes	61		44		8		52		9		17%
Total Wages and benefits	$	1,226	$	883	$	216	$	1,099	$	127	12%

On a pro forma basis, wages and benefits increased by $127 million, or 12%, driven by increased headcount and higher wage rates across multiple labor groups since the third quarter of 2024.

On a pro forma basis, defined contribution plans increased $10 million, or 13%, driven by higher contribution rates for pilots and flight attendants. On a pro forma basis, medical and other benefits expense increased $14 million, or 11%, driven by higher value claims and increased obligations under Alaska's pilots long-term disability plan.

Variable incentive pay

On a pro forma basis, variable incentive pay decreased $37 million, or 34%, driven by a lower assumed payout percentage for the Company's Performance-Based Pay program compared to the prior year, partially offset by an increased wage base due to the inclusion of Hawaiian employees in the plan.

Aircraft maintenance

On a pro forma basis, aircraft maintenance increased $25 million, or 12%, driven by increased utilization of aircraft resulting in increased heavy checks and engine events since the third quarter of 2024. Higher rates on engine maintenance also contributed to the increase.

Landing fees and rentals

On a pro forma basis, landing fees and other rentals increased $65 million, or 27%, driven by increased terminal rents due to higher rates and growth throughout the combined network, and an increased volume of departures. Nonrecurring favorable settlements received from certain airports in 2024 also contributed to the year-over-year increase.

Contracted services

On a pro forma basis, contracted services increased $13 million, or 9%, driven by higher rates charged by vendors as well as increased departures and passengers throughout our combined network.

Depreciation and amortization

On a pro forma basis, depreciation and amortization increased $16 million, or 9%, primarily due to the addition of 16 owned aircraft to our airlines' fleets since the third quarter of 2024. Incremental depreciation on ground service and other equipment also contributed to the increase.

Third-party regional carrier expense

Third-party regional carrier expense, which represents payments made to SkyWest under the CPA with Alaska, increased $9 million, or 14%, driven by incremental departures and block hours operated by SkyWest.

Other

On a pro forma basis, other expenses were flat. Higher professional services and software costs were offset by gains from the sale of eight B737-900 aircraft.

Special items - operating

On a pro forma basis, special items decreased $14 million, or 18%, primarily driven by decreased integration costs associated with the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines in comparison to the prior year. Refer to Note 12 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for details.

Additional Segment Information

Refer to Note 11 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a detailed description of each segment and a reconciliation of segment results to consolidated Air Group results. Below is a summary of each segment's results for the third quarter of 2025.

Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines reported a pretax profit, excluding special items and other adjustments, of $187 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a profit of $351 million in the same period in 2024. The $164 million decrease was primarily driven by $120 million in increased non-fuel operating expenses, due largely to higher wages and increased variable costs, and $77 million in reduced revenue, due to lower traffic. Lower fuel costs of $40 million, driven by lower per gallon costs and decreased consumption, partially offset the decrease.

Hawaiian Airlines

Hawaiian Airlines reported a pretax loss, excluding special items and other adjustments, of $42 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a loss on a pro forma basis of $56 million in the same period in 2024. The $14 million improvement was primarily driven by $190 million in increased revenue, driven by higher traffic and yield due to demand environment strength in the state of Hawai'i. Higher fuel costs of $29 million driven by increased consumption and increased non-fuel expenses of $147 million associated with increased capacity partially offset the increase.

Regional

Regional reported a pretax profit, excluding special items and other adjustments, of $11 million in the third quarter of 2025, compared to a profit of $56 million in the same period in 2024. The $45 million decrease was primarily due to $46 million in increased non-fuel operating expenses and higher fuel costs of $8 million driven by increased capacity, partially offset by $9 million in increased revenue from higher traffic.

PRO FORMA OPERATING REVENUE

On a pro forma basis, total operating revenue increased $362 million, or 4%. The changes, including the reconciliation of the impact of Hawaiian on the combined results, are summarized in the following table:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,								Change
(in millions)	2025		2024 As Reported		2024 Hawaiian Airlines (a)		2024 Pro forma		$ Change		% Change

(a) Pro forma nine months ended September 30, 2024 can be calculated by adding the three months ended March 31, 2024, June 30, 2024, and September 30, 2024 as provided on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 22, 2025, including certain immaterial reclassification and policy adjustments.


	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025		% Change vs. Pro forma Prior Year
(in millions)	Total Operating Revenue		Passenger Revenue	RPMs	ASMs	Yield	PRASM
Domestic	$	9,614	3%	1%	2%	2%	2%

Pacific	457		(7)%	4%	4%	(11)%	(11)%
Total	$	10,607	3%	1%	2%	2%	1%

Passenger revenue

On a pro forma basis, Passenger revenue increased $263 million, or 3%, as traffic increased by 1% and yield grew by 2%. Hawaiian passenger revenue has improved meaningfully, driven by the combination of the Alaska and Hawaiian networks, as well as synergy and commercial initiatives announced in 2024. Increased premium revenue and loyalty program award redemption on our airlines contributed to higher yield. Additionally, prior year results were negatively impacted by $150 million due to the B737-9 grounding in the first quarter of 2024.

Loyalty program other revenue

On a pro forma basis, Loyalty program other revenue increased $24 million, or 4%, due to higher commission revenue from bank card and third party partners driven by increased consumer spend. Incremental credit card acquisitions, as well as the launch of our Summit Visa Infinite premium credit card, also contributed to the increase.

Cargo and other revenue

On a pro forma basis, Cargo and other revenue increased $75 million, or 23%, driven by six additional A330-300F aircraft in Hawaiian's cargo fleet under the ATSA with Amazon. Increased international cargo volumes driven by the launch of our Seattle-Seoul route also contributed to the increase.

PRO FORMA OPERATING EXPENSES

On a pro forma basis, total operating expenses increased $371 million, or 4%. The changes, including the reconciliation of the impact of Hawaiian on the combined results, are summarized below. We believe it is useful to summarize operating expenses as follows, which is consistent with the way expenses are reported internally and evaluated by management:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,								Change
(in millions)	2025		2024 As Reported		2024 Hawaiian Airlines (a)		2024 Pro forma		$ Change		% Change
Aircraft fuel, including hedging gains and losses	$	2,142	$	1,804	$	539	$	2,343	$	(201)	(9)%
Non-fuel operating expenses, excluding special items	8,026		5,646		1,747		7,393		633		9%

Fuel expense


	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2025				2024 Pro forma
(in millions, except for per gallon amounts)	Dollars		Cost/Gal			Dollars		Cost/Gal
Raw or "into-plane" fuel cost	$	2,142	$	2.50		$	2,330	$	2.76

Aircraft fuel, including hedging gains and losses	$	2,142	$	2.50		$	2,343	$	2.78
Fuel gallons			859					844

On a pro forma basis, aircraft fuel expense decreased $201 million, or 9%. Raw fuel expense decreased by 8%, driven by lower per gallon costs on crude oil. Decreases were partially offset by higher fuel consumption consistent with increased capacity and higher refining margins associated with the conversion of crude oil to jet fuel.

Losses recognized for hedges that settled during the nine months ended were $4 million in 2025, compared to losses of $37 million in 2024. These amounts represent cash paid for premium expense, offset by any cash received from those hedges at settlement.

Non-fuel expense

Wages and benefits

The primary components of wages and benefits, including a reconciliation of 2024 on a pro forma basis, are shown in the following table:


	Nine Months Ended September 30,								Change
(in millions)	2025		2024 As Reported		2024 Hawaiian Airlines		2024 Pro forma		$ Change		% Change
Wages	$	2,665	$	1,864	$	555	$	2,419	$	246	10%
Pension - Defined benefit plans	21		21		9		30		(9)		(30)%

Total Wages and benefits	$	3,518	$	2,469	$	733	$	3,202	$	316	10%

On a pro forma basis, wages and benefits increased by $316 million, or 10%, driven by increased headcount and higher wage rates across multiple labor groups since the third quarter of 2024. Increases were partially offset by nonrecurring wages from irregular operations following the B737-9 grounding in the first quarter of 2024.

Medical and other benefits expense increased $41 million, or 12%, driven by an increase in the cost of medical services and higher obligations under our pilots long-term disability plan.

Variable incentive pay

On a pro forma basis, variable incentive pay decreased $17 million, or 8%, driven by a lower assumed payout percentage for the Company's Performance-Based Pay program compared to the prior year, partially offset by an increased wage base due to the inclusion of Hawaiian employees in the plan.

Aircraft maintenance

On a pro forma basis, aircraft maintenance increased $83 million, or 13%, driven by increased utilization of aircraft resulting in increased heavy checks and engine events since the third quarter of 2024. Higher rates on engine maintenance and additional materials on cabin refresh projects also contributed to the increase.

Landing fees and other rentals

On a pro forma basis, landing fees and other rentals increased $151 million, or 22%, primarily driven by increased terminal rents driven by higher rates and growth throughout the combined network. Increased volume of departures and landed weight, as well as nonrecurring favorable settlements received from certain airports in 2024 also contributed to the year-over-year increase.

Contracted services

On a pro forma basis, contracted services increased $36 million, or 9%, driven by higher rates charged by vendors as well as increased departures and passengers throughout our combined network.

Selling expenses

On a pro forma basis, selling expenses decreased $21 million, or 6%, primarily driven by lower marketing costs in comparison to prior year. Improved rates on credit card vendor rebates also contributed to this decrease.

Depreciation and amortization

On a pro forma basis, depreciation and amortization increased $47 million, or 9%, primarily due to the addition of 16 owned aircraft to our airlines' fleets since the third quarter of 2024. Incremental depreciation on ground service and other equipment also contributed to the increase.

Third-party regional carrier expense

Third-party regional carrier expense, which represents payments made to SkyWest under the CPA with Alaska, increased $24 million, or 13%, driven by incremental departures and block hours operated by SkyWest.

Other

On a pro forma basis, other expense decreased $9 million, or 1%. Gains from the sale of twelve B737-900 aircraft were partially offset by higher professional services and software costs. Certain nonrecurring passenger remuneration and crew hotel costs associated with the B737-9 grounding in 2024 also contributed to the decrease.

Special items - operating

On a pro forma basis, special items decreased $61 million, or 22%, driven by nonrecurring costs in 2024 associated with Alaska flight attendant retroactive pay, the retirement of Alaska's Airbus and Horizon's Q400 aircraft, and certain litigation matters. Contractual changes to Alaska flight attendants' sick leave benefits in the first quarter of 2025 and increased integration costs associated with the acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines partially offset this decrease. Refer to Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements for details.

Additional Segment Information

Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines reported a pretax profit, excluding special items and other adjustments, of $411 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to a profit of $592 million in the same period in 2024. The $181 million decrease was primarily driven by $365 million in increased non-fuel operating expenses, due largely to higher wages and increased variable costs. These increases were partially offset by lower fuel costs of $189 million, driven by lower per gallon costs. Additionally, prior year results were negatively impacted by $150 million due to the B737-9 grounding in the first quarter of 2024.

Hawaiian Airlines

Hawaiian Airlines reported a pretax loss, excluding special items and other adjustments, of $129 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to a loss on a pro forma basis of $312 million in the same period in 2024. The $183 million improvement was driven by $417 million in increased revenue, driven by higher traffic and yield due to the optimization of Hawaiian assets in Air Group's combined network, demand environment strength in the state of Hawai'i, as well as continued recovery following the 2023 Maui wildfires. Lower fuel costs of $6 million, driven by lower per gallon costs, also contributed to the improvement. These amounts were partially offset by increased non-fuel operating expenses of $240 million associated with increased capacity.

Regional

Regional reported a pretax loss, excluding special items and other adjustments, of $4 million in the first nine months of 2025, compared to a profit of $93 million in the same period in 2024. The $97 million decrease was primarily due to $125 million in increased non-fuel operating expenses associated with increased capacity. It was partially offset by $27 million in increased revenue as incremental traffic mitigated the impact of a weaker yield environment.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2025, we had cash and marketable securities of $2.3 billion. Our airlines have 112 unencumbered aircraft, which can be financed if necessary, and an $850 million bank line-of-credit facility with no outstanding borrowings. We expect our current cash and marketable securities balance, combined with our available sources of liquidity, to be sufficient to fund our liquidity needs for the next 12 months. We expect to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future using cash flows from our operations, our available sources of liquidity, and future financing arrangements. We discuss our sources and uses of cash in more detail below.

In June 2025, Alaska entered into an agreement with a third-party to sell its 12 B737-900 aircraft. All aircraft were sold by September 30, 2025. In the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recognized a gain of $57 million associated with these sales, which was recorded within Other operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Operating cash flows

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.1 billion during the first nine months of 2025. Advance ticket sales and our co-branded credit card agreements are the primary sources of our operating cash flow. Our primary use of operating cash flow is for operating expenses, including payments for employee wages and benefits, aircraft fuel, payments to suppliers for goods and services, payments to lessors and airport authorities for leased aircraft, rents, and landing fees, and interest expense for our debt obligations. During the first nine months of 2025, this includes more than $300 million paid to employees in recognition of their 2024 Performance-Based Pay program achievements. It also includes $98 million paid to Starlink associated with an agreement to provide in-flight connectivity on Alaska's fleet.

Investing cash flows

Capital expenditures to acquire aircraft, flight equipment, and other property and equipment are the primary purpose of our investing cash flow. We plan to incur approximately $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion in capital expenditures for 2025. We discuss our aircraft-related commitments in more detail below.

Cash used in investing activities was $996 million during the first nine months of 2025. Property and equipment expenditures were $963 million, driven by the addition of new aircraft as well as other equipment purchases. Net purchases of marketable securities were $192 million in 2025. These amounts were partially offset by other investing cash inflows of $159 million, including proceeds from the sale of 12 B737-900 aircraft.

Financing cash flows

Cash provided by new financing arrangements is the primary source of our financing cash flow. Our primary uses of financing cash flow are payments of our debt and finance lease obligations, as well as share repurchases. Refer to Note 5 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of our debt balances, including a schedule outlining the time period of future payments.

Cash used in financing activities was $490 million during the first nine months of 2025. Cash used for share repurchases was $540 million, and debt payments were $389 million. These outflows were partially offset by proceeds from new financing arrangements, net of debt issuance costs, of $378 million.

Indicators of financial condition and liquidity

The Company's liquidity target is between 15% and 25% of the trailing twelve months' revenue. This percentage was elevated as of December 31, 2024 as it did not include a full year of Hawaiian revenue, but has returned to normal levels as of September 30, 2025.

The table below presents the major indicators of financial condition and liquidity:

Debt-to-capitalization ratio, including leases	60		%	58		%	2 pts

Material cash commitments

We have various contractual obligations that require material future outlays of cash. These obligations include the purchase of aircraft and other flight equipment, payments for Alaska's CPA with SkyWest, debt service payments, lease payments for aircraft and other property and equipment, costs for aircraft and engine maintenance, sponsorship and license agreements, and other miscellaneous agreements for services associated with operating and marketing our airlines. We also anticipate we may have material cash outlays associated with new technologies for the future of the business. Currently, Alaska and Hawaiian have agreements to purchase sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) to be delivered in the coming years. These agreements are dependent on suppliers' ability to obtain all required governmental and regulatory approvals, achieve commercial operation, and produce sufficient quantities of SAF. We expect to satisfy these obligations using cash flows from our operations, our available sources of liquidity, and future financing arrangements.

Within the notes accompanying our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, refer to Note 5 for discussion of scheduled debt obligations and Note 7 for discussion of aircraft purchase commitments and CPA obligations.

As of September 30, 2025, Alaska had firm orders to purchase 75 B737 aircraft with deliveries expected between 2025 and 2029. Hawaiian had firm orders to purchase 8 B787 aircraft with deliveries expected between 2025 and 2029. Horizon had firm orders to purchase 3 E175 aircraft with deliveries expected in 2026. Alaska also has an agreement with SkyWest Airlines to add one E175 aircraft under the existing CPA in 2026.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS AND OPERATING STATISTICS

We are providing reconciliations of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis. We believe that consideration of these non-GAAP financial measures may be important to investors for the following reasons:

• By excluding certain costs from our unit metrics, we believe that we have better visibility into the results of operations. Our industry is highly competitive and is characterized by high fixed costs, so even a small reduction in non-fuel operating costs can result in a significant improvement in operating results. We believe that all U.S. carriers are similarly impacted by changes in jet fuel costs over the long run, so it is important for management and investors to understand the impact of company-specific cost drivers which are more controllable by management. We adjust for expenses related directly to our freighter aircraft operations, including those costs incurred under the ATSA with Amazon, to allow for better comparability to other carriers that do not operate freighter aircraft. We also exclude certain special charges as they are unusual or nonrecurring in nature and adjusting for these expenses allows management and investors to better understand our cost performance.

• CASMex is one of the most important measures used by management and by the Air Group Board of Directors in assessing cost performance. CASMex is also a measure commonly used by industry analysts, and we believe it is the basis by which

they have historically compared our airline to others in the industry. The measure is also the subject of frequent questions from investors.

• Adjusted pretax income is an important metric for the employee incentive plan, which covers the majority of Air Group employees.

• Disclosure of the individual impact of certain noted items provides investors the ability to measure and monitor performance both with and without these special items. We believe that disclosing the impact of these items as noted above is important because it provides information on significant items that are not necessarily indicative of future performance. Industry analysts and investors consistently measure our performance without these items for better comparability between periods and among other airlines.

• Although we disclose our unit revenue, we do not, nor are we able to, evaluate unit revenue excluding the impact that changes in fuel costs have had on ticket prices. Fuel expense represents a large percentage of our total operating expenses. Fluctuations in fuel prices often drive changes in unit revenue in the mid-to-long term. Although we believe it is useful to evaluate non-fuel unit costs for the reasons noted above, we would caution readers of these financial statements not to place undue reliance on unit costs excluding fuel as a measure or predictor of future profitability because of the significant impact of fuel costs on our business.

Although we are presenting these non-GAAP amounts for the reasons above, investors and other readers should not consider them a substitute for GAAP figures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of September 30, 2025, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (collectively, our “certifying officers”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and includes, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our certifying officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our certifying officers concluded, based on their evaluation, that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2025.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

On September 18, 2024, we acquired Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we are making progress in further integrating Hawaiian in our evaluation of internal controls over financial reporting for the combined company. As the integration continues and business processes evolve, management will continue to evaluate the existing internal controls over financial reporting for change.

In the second quarter, Hawaiian Airlines identified a cybersecurity incident affecting certain information technology systems. As a result of this cybersecurity incident, we performed certain alternative controls and procedures, and additional compensating controls, to support management's assessment that the financial and other information included within this report is materially accurate.

Except as noted above, there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Our internal control over financial reporting is based on the 2013 framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO Framework).
