"Summer demand remains robust and load factors have been strong; however, significant industry capacity increases together with ancillary pricing changes in the competitive environment have made it difficult to increase yields, resulting in disappointing revenue results for the second quarter of 2024," said Ted Christie, Spirit's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The continued intense competitive battle for the price-sensitive leisure traveler further reinforces our belief that we are on the right path with our transformation plan to redefine low-fare travel with new, high-value travel options that will allow Guests to choose an elevated experience at an affordable price. I want to thank our entire team for their dedication and patience as we execute on these initiatives intended to drive improvement in overall revenue production and put us on the path to profitability."
Transforming our Guest Experience
During the second quarter, Spirit began to execute on its transformation plan to better align its business model with the current market dynamics. On July 30, 2024, Spirit announced the next phase of its go forward strategy. The Company is introducing new offerings, including brand new premium selections, as part of a significant transformation that delivers an even friendlier, more comfortable, and cost-effective travel experience. The new premium selections and experience will range from elevated to economical to meet the needs of all travelers. Spirit will begin offering the new travel options for booking on Aug. 16 and launch the newly transformed Guest experience by August 27, 2024.To date, announced changes include:
•Four travel options: Go Big, Go Comfy, Go Savvy and Go
•Designated priority check-in at more than 20 airports for Guests who purchase the Go Big fare option or are Free Spirit® Gold members or Free Spirit World Elite Mastercard holders
•Enhanced boarding experience aimed to reduce boarding time and enhance operational performance
•Expanded Guest-friendly policies:
◦All four travel options include the flexibility of no change or cancel fees
◦Increased checked bag weight allowance up to 50 pounds
◦Extended Future Travel Vouchers expiration to 12 months (for vouchers issued on or after June 3, 2024)

Delivering on Cost Saving Initiatives and Network Changes
•On track to achieve $100 million of annual run-rate cost savings with approximately $75 million expected to be achieved by year-end 2024
•Initiatives include:
•Temporarily suspending the recruitment of pilots and flight attendants and related training costs
•Offering voluntary unpaid leaves of absences to flight attendants
•Right-sizing overhead and non-crew operational positions
•Reducing discretionary capital spend
•Furloughing approximately 240 pilots and downgrading approximately 100 captains
•Realigning the network
•Compared to the third quarter 2023, in the third quarter 2024 the Company will have exited 42 markets and added 77 new ones
•Offering more day of week routes which allows for route expansion at a lower risk profile
•Aggressively managing capacity to better match seasonal and daily demand variances
•Aligning capacity to markets where the supply/demand trends are more in balance
•In addition to other liquidity-enhancing initiatives, the Company deferred all aircraft on order with Airbus that were scheduled to be delivered in the second quarter of 2025 through the end of 2026 to 2030-2031
Second Quarter 2024 Operations
•System completion factor of 98.5 percent
•System controllable completion factor2 of 99.8 percent
•Capacity increase of 1.7 percent year over year
•Load factor of 83.2 percent, an increase of 0.3 pts year over year
•Aircraft utilization of 10.6 hours, down 6.2 percent compared to the second quarter last year of 11.3 hours, primarily due to aircraft unavailable for operational service due to PW1100G-JM geared turbo fan engine availability issues (“AOG”)
Second Quarter 2024 Revenues
Elevated domestic industry capacity restrained the Company's ability to drive increased ticket yields, pressuring fare revenue per passenger flight segment ("segment") during the second quarter of 2024. The Company also experienced downward pressure on non-ticket revenue per segment, primarily due to the elimination of charging for change and cancellation fees and competitive price reductions of ancillary items.
•Total operating revenues of $1,280.9 million, a decrease of 10.6 percent year over year
•Total revenue per ASM ("TRASM") of 9.05 cents, a decrease of 12.1 percent year over year on 1.7 percent more capacity
•Total revenue per segment of $108.46, a decrease of 15.3 percent year over year
•Fare revenue per segment of $45.02, a decrease of 22.2 percent year over year
•Non-ticket revenue per segment of $63.44,1 a decrease of 9.6 percent year over year
As the Company executes on its transformation strategy, it anticipates that over time it will be able to drive improvement in total revenue per segment.
Second Quarter 2024 Cost Performance
•Total operating expense of $1,433.4 million and adjusted operating expenses of $1,447.8 million1
•Adjusted non-fuel cost of $1,040.5 million1
•Average fuel price per gallon of $2.78
•Total non-operating expense of $37.1 million

Second Quarter 2024 Liquidity and Capital Deployment
•Ended the quarter with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment securities and liquidity available under the Company's revolving credit facility of $1.1 billion
•Extended the final maturity of its $300 million revolving credit facility to September 30, 2026, subject to certain conditions
•Recorded pre-delivery deposit refunds, net of pre-delivery payments of $162.2 million for the six months ending June 30, 2024, partially offset by $60.6 million spent on the purchase of property and equipment
•Recognized $57.1 million1 of AOG credits on the Company's condensed consolidated statements of Cash Flows, bringing the year-to-date benefit recognized to $75.0 million1
•Estimates AOG credits to be issued in 2024 by Pratt & Whitney for AOG aircraft will benefit full year 2024 liquidity by approximately $150 million to $200 million
"The Spirit management team is focused on returning to profitability, and we believe the transformation plan we recently announced places us on the path to improved financial performance," said Fred Cromer, Spirit’s Chief Financial Officer. “We will continue to aggressively manage our costs to maintain our position as a low-cost leader in the industry and to make every effort to maintain adequate liquidity. Earlier this week, we closed on a Direct Lease and Pre-Delivery Payment Transaction that raised, in the aggregate, approximately $186 million. We expect to end the year 2024 with over $1.0 billion of liquidity, including unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment securities, liquidity available under our revolving credit facility and additional liquidity initiatives, assuming that we are able to close those initiatives that are currently in process. Meanwhile, we remain in active discussions with the advisors to the noteholders to address the upcoming debt maturities and will provide updates on our progress when appropriate."

•Secured $37.2 million of AOG credits to be issued by Pratt & Whitney based on AOG days during the quarter

•Estimates that it will average about 20 AOG aircraft for the full year 2024

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company evaluates its financial performance utilizing various accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted operating expenses, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted operating margin adjusted for AOG credits, Adjusted income (loss) before income taxes, Adjusted pre-tax margin, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted provision (benefit) for income taxes, Adjusted net income (loss) per share, diluted, Adjusted CASM and Adjusted CASM ex-fuel. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial information presented in this press release that is calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and these non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes that they supplement or enhance management’s, analysts’ and investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods.
Because the non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP financial measures presented in the press release and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in the method of calculation and in the items being adjusted. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.
The information below provides an explanation of certain adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP financial measures and shows a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures reported in this press release (other than forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures) to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Within the financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Per unit amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.
The Company believes that adjusting for a litigation loss contingency (recorded within other operating expenses within the Company's condensed consolidated statements of operations), loss (gain) on disposal of assets and special charges (credits) is useful to investors because these items are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance and the adjustments are similar to those made by our peers and allow for enhanced comparability to other airlines.
Operating expenses per available seat mile (“CASM”) is a common metric used in the airline industry to measure an airline’s cost structure and efficiency. We exclude aircraft fuel and related taxes and special items from operating expenses to determine Adjusted CASM ex-fuel. We also believe that excluding fuel costs from certain measures is useful to investors because it provides an additional measure of management’s performance excluding the effects of a significant cost item over which management has limited influence and increases comparability with other airlines that also provide a similar metric.
