First quarter 2025 adjusted airline-only diluted earnings per share of $2.11⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾

First quarter 2025 adjusted diluted earnings per share of $1.81^(1)(2)(3)

LAS VEGAS, May 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ:ALGT) today reported the below financial results for first quarter 2025, as well as comparisons to the prior year:

"Team Allegiant executed a successful first quarter, delivering an airline-only operating margin of 9.3 percent, a three-point improvement from last year and among the best in the industry," stated Gregory Anderson, president and CEO of Allegiant Travel Company. "These financial results were underscored by our excellent operations, as the team achieved a 99.9 percent controllable completion during the quarter on 14.2 percent capacity growth.

"A few months ago, there was optimism throughout the airline industry heading into 2025 due to a strong economy and solid demand trends. Unfortunately, headlines beginning in February drove broad economic uncertainty and decreased consumer confidence, which led to an industry reduction in near-term revenues, particularly during shoulder and off-peak periods. Despite these challenges, I am proud to report that the team delivered a first-quarter earnings result that was well within our initial guidance range.

"However, heightened volatility is impacting domestic demand. Consequently, it is challenging to predict near-term demand, and we are therefore withdrawing our full-year 2025 guidance. Despite the macroeconomic uncertainty, we anticipate maintaining solid profitability by leveraging our flexible model to adjust capacity as needed. To date, we have removed more than 7.5 points of capacity growth from May through August, primarily coming from off-peak periods. Booking trends over the past few weeks suggest a stabilizing demand environment, with indications of improvement observed over the past several days. Regardless, we will continue to adjust capacity aggressively during the remainder of the year while ensuring that we appropriately address the items within our control.

"Allegiant has performed well during past downturns, thanks to our unique model that positions us for long-term success and stability. We expect to perform no differently during this period of uncertainty and remain confident in our ability to maintain profitability.

"I extend my sincerest appreciation to Team Allegiant for all your efforts. You truly are the best in the business."

Guidance, subject to revision

Certain forward-looking financial information in the following tables is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP financial figures may be useful to stakeholders, but should not be considered a substitute for GAAP figures. In reliance on the 'unreasonable efforts' exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of SEC Regulation S-K, a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided for adjusted airline-only earnings per share,adjusted consolidated earnings per share, and adjusted Sunseeker EBITDA. The Company is not able to reconcile these Non-GAAP financial figures without unreasonable effort because the special charge adjustments will not be known until the end of the indicated future periods and any range of projected values would be too broad to be meaningful. As a result, this information would not be significant to investors.

We present adjusted airline-only operating expense and adjusted airline-only operating income, which exclude special charges related to aircraft accelerated depreciation on early retirement of certain airframes. We also present adjusted airline-only income before income taxes, adjusted airline-only net income, and adjusted airline-only diluted earnings per share, which exclude special charges.

All of the measures described above 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. Management believes the exclusion of these items enhances comparability of financial information between periods.

We also present adjusted airline-only CASM, which excludes aircraft fuel expense and special charges. Fuel price volatility impacts the comparability of year over year financial performance as do the airline special charges. We believe the adjustments for fuel expense and airline special charges allow investors to better understand our non-fuel costs and related performance.

Consolidated and airline-only earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Consolidated EBITDA" and "Airline EBITDA"), adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted Airline EBITDA, estimated adjusted airline-only and adjusted consolidated earnings per share, and Sunseeker adjusted EBITDA, 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. The adjusted EBITDA measures also exclude special charges and a one-time loss on the extinguishment of debt. 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 adjusted 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 measures, which are operating expenses, operating income (loss), interest expense, income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), and earnings (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, operating income (loss), interest expense, 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.

⁽¹⁾	Denotes non-GAAP figure.
⁽²⁾	In 2025 and 2024, we recognized certain expenses as special charges related to Airline activities (accelerated depreciation on airframes identified for early retirement) and damages to Sunseeker Resort (charges due to weather events, net of recoveries). The adjusted numbers in this earnings release exclude the effect of these special charges.
⁽³⁾	In first quarter 2025, the Company incurred a $3.4M non-operating loss on the extinguishment of debt secured by Sunseeker Resort which is being added back, where appropriate, in our adjusted results.
