     "We finished the quarter with diluted earnings per share, excluding special charges, of 57 cents," stated Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., chairman and CEO of Allegiant Travel Company. "The peak demand environment remained strong throughout the quarter, with TRASM representing the second best first quarter TRASM in company history. Demand trends are holding into the second quarter, and although we expect TRASM to be down from the highs of 2023, we anticipate second quarter TRASM will again be among the best second quarters in company history – particularly impressive given expected growth during the peak month of June of roughly six percent, year-over-year.

    "The first quarter marked the first full quarter of operations at Sunseeker Resort. Hats off to the team led by Micah Richins and Jason Shkorupa. The final product is truly amazing and unique to that part of Florida. It will take time to build to financial maturity. We are still in the early stages, but our marketing efforts are now in full swing. Encouragingly, food and beverage surpassed our initial expectations and accounted for nearly half of total Sunseeker revenue during the first quarter. I am excited to see the potential of this property unfold in the coming years."

    "I am happy to report another quarter of near industry-leading operational results," stated Gregory Anderson, president of Allegiant Travel Company. "The team's efforts yielded a controllable completion of 99.7 percent. Over the past 18 months we have prioritized operational integrity, and I could not be prouder of Team Allegiant as we continue to achieve record high net promoter scores from our customers.

    "While I am pleased with our operational and customer service performance, our first quarter adjusted airline-only operating margin of roughly six percent is disappointing. These lower margins were largely driven by temporary headwinds such as Boeing's inability to meet its delivery schedule, delayed pricing functionality due to the integration of Navitaire, our new reservations and revenue system, and lower aircraft utilization in our peak demand periods – we are fixing all three of these items. Excluding these headwinds and on a more normalized basis, our adjusted airline operating margin for the first quarter would have been approximately 13 percent.

    "On the labor front, I am pleased to announce our flight attendants overwhelmingly voted to ratify their tentative agreement. This new contract will not only provide well-deserved pay increases, but also comes with several quality-of-life improvements. Our pilot contract remains in federal mediation. The Teamsters that represent our pilots appointed a new negotiating team, and I am encouraged by the improved collaboration and progress now being made at the table – getting a deal complete remains a top priority.

    "2024 is a transitional year for the company. We expect to have all of our labor agreements finalized. We have a clear path to increasing utilization and improving productivity amongst our work groups. We expect to integrate the MAX aircraft into our fleet in the coming months. We are well on our way to unlocking the full power of our Navitaire reservation system and providing strong opportunities to further increase our ancillary revenues. Achieving these items will return us to our industry leading margins as our airline is one of the best proven models in the business."

    Non-GAAP Presentation

    Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

    (Unaudited)

    Airline operating expense, airline income before income taxes, airline net income, and airline diluted earnings per share all eliminate the effects of non-airline activity as such activity is not reflective of airline operating performance. We also present these airline-only metrics excluding special charges related to aircraft accelerated depreciation on early retirement of certain airframes. Management believes the exclusion of these special charges enhances comparability of financial information between periods. Airline earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Airline EBITDA") eliminates the effects of non-airline operating activity and other items. As such, all of these are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows them to better gauge the performance of the airline and to compare our results to other airlines.

    We also present both operating expense and CASM excluding aircraft fuel expense as fuel price volatility impacts the comparability of year over year financial performance. We believe the adjustment for fuel expense allows investors to better understand our non-fuel costs and related performance.

    We present consolidated operating income (loss), EBITDA, and diluted earnings (loss) per share excluding Sunseeker special charges, net of recoveries, and airline special charges, to exclude the impact of losses and insurance recoveries incurred primarily as the result of hurricanes and other insured events at Sunseeker and to exclude aircraft accelerated depreciation on early retirements of certain airframes. Management believes these measures enhance comparability of financial information between periods.

    Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDA excluding special charges, and Airline EBITDA excluding special charges, as presented in this press release, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

    We define "EBITDA" as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We also adjust EBITDA within this release to exclude non-airline activity and special charges. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with this definition may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate EBITDA in the same manner.

    We use EBITDA and Airline EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and liquidity, and these are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe these presentations of EBITDA are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and make it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures. EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool. These limitations include the following:

    • EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments to purchase capital equipment;
    • EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service principal or interest payments on our debt;
    • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets that we currently depreciate and amortize will likely have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect the cash required to fund such replacements; and
    • other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

    Presented below is a quantitative reconciliation of these adjusted numbers to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure.

    The SEC has adopted rules (Regulation G) regulating the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Because of our use of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Regulation G requires us to include in this press release a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is operating revenue, operating expenses, operating income, income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), and net income (loss) per share and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. Our utilization of non-GAAP measurements is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating expenses, income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our use of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies in the airline and travel industry. The reconciliation of each of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure for the periods is indicated below.
