NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

(Unaudited)

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Sun Country" or the "Company") is the parent company of Sun Country, Inc., which is a certificated air carrier providing scheduled passenger service, air cargo service, charter air transportation and related services.

The Company has prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements according to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and has included the accounts of Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for Form 10-Q. Therefore, the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 as filed with the SEC ("2024 10-K"). These unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the respective periods presented. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Due to impacts from seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, the impact of macroeconomic conditions, and other factors, operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for other interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2025.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires, among other disclosures, greater disaggregation of information, the use of certain categories in the rate reconciliation, and the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company continues to assess the impact of this ASU on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

2. REVENUE

Sun Country is a certificated air carrier generating Operating Revenues from Passenger (consisting of Scheduled Service, Charter, and Ancillary), Cargo and Other revenue. Scheduled Service revenue mainly consists of base fares. Charter revenue is primarily generated through service provided to the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD"), collegiate and professional sports teams, and casinos. Ancillary revenues consist of revenue earned from air travel-related services, such as: baggage fees, seat selection fees, other fees and on-board sales. Cargo consists of revenue earned from flying cargo aircraft for Amazon.com Services, Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Amazon”) under the Amended and Restated Air Transportation Services Agreement (the “A&R ATSA”). Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from services in connection with Sun Country Vacations products and rental revenue related to certain transactions where

(Unaudited)

the Company serves as a lessor. The Company recognized rental revenue of $8,636 and $9,275, during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

In June 2024, the Company entered into the A&R ATSA with Amazon that will increase the number of Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft that Sun Country operates on behalf of Amazon from 12 to 20 in 2025. For more information on the A&R ATSA, see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" included within Part II, Item 8 of the 2024 10-K. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received three additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which one aircraft was in-service. All eight additional aircraft are expected to be in-service by the end of the third quarter of 2025.

The significant categories comprising Operating Revenues are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Scheduled Service	$	143,522	$	141,194
Charter	54,692		47,312
Ancillary	87,674		86,158
Passenger	285,888		274,664
Cargo	28,157		23,948
Other	12,604		12,871
Total Operating Revenues	$	326,649	$	311,483

The Company attributes and measures its Operating Revenues by geographic region as defined by the United States Department of Transportation ("DOT") for airline reporting based upon the origin of each passenger and cargo flight segment.

The Company’s operations are highly concentrated in the U.S., but include service to many international locations, primarily consisting of scheduled service to Latin America and military charter service to various international destinations.

Total Operating Revenues by geographic region are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Domestic	$	301,374	$	290,214
Latin America	25,176		21,269
Other	99		—
Total Operating Revenues	$	326,649	$	311,483

Contract Balances

The Company’s contract assets primarily relate to costs incurred to prepare the Amazon cargo aircraft for service under the original ATSA and the A&R ATSA, as well as warrants that have vested and will be amortized against Cargo revenue over the remaining term of the A&R ATSA. The balances are included in Other Current Assets and Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(Dollars in thousands, except per share and share amounts)

(Unaudited)

The Company’s contract liabilities are primarily comprised of: 1) ticket sales for transportation that have not yet been provided (reported as Air Traffic Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), 2) outstanding loyalty points that may be redeemed for future travel and other non-air travel awards (reported as Loyalty Program Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and, 3) the Amazon Deferred Up-front Payment received under the original ATSA (reported within Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

Contract Assets and Liabilities are as follows:


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Contract Assets
Amazon Contract	$	5,868	$	4,135
Total Contract Assets	$	5,868	$	4,135

Contract Liabilities
Air Traffic Liabilities	$	114,257	$	160,686
Loyalty Program Liabilities	14,100		14,601
Amazon Contract	1,668		1,612
Total Contract Liabilities	$	130,025	$	176,899

The balance in the Air Traffic Liabilities fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. Most tickets can be purchased no more than 12 months in advance, therefore any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within that timeframe. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $133,807 of revenue was recognized in Passenger revenue that was included in the Air Traffic Liabilities as of December 31, 2024.

Loyalty Program

The Sun Country Rewards program provides loyalty awards to program members based on accumulated loyalty points. The Company records a liability for loyalty points earned by passengers under the Sun Country Rewards program using two methods: 1) a liability for points that are earned by passengers on purchases of the Company’s services is established by deferring revenue based on the redemption value, net of estimated loyalty points that will expire unused, or breakage; and 2) a liability for points attributed to loyalty points issued to the Company’s co-branded credit card holders is established by deferring a portion of payments received from the Company’s co-branded agreement. The balance of the Loyalty Program Liabilities fluctuates based on seasonal patterns, which impacts the volume of loyalty points awarded through travel or issued to co-branded credit card and other partners (deferral of revenue) and loyalty points redeemed (recognition of revenue). Due to these reasons, the timing of loyalty point redemptions can vary significantly.

Changes in the Loyalty Program Liabilities are as follows:


	2025		2024
Balance – January 1	$	14,601	$	13,737
Loyalty Points Earned	2,635		2,430
Loyalty Points Redeemed (1)	(3,136)		(3,099)
Balance – March 31	$	14,100	$	13,068

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received three additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which one aircraft was in-service. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, amendments were executed to extend the lease expiry terms for three of the four remaining Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, which now expire over various dates through the fourth quarter of 2026. Of the 38 Owned aircraft and Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease as of March 31, 2025, 31 aircraft were financed, five aircraft have been pledged to support the ability to efficiently utilize the Company's new four-year $75,000 revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) entered into during March 2025, and two aircraft were unencumbered. See Note 5 for more information on the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company acquired one incremental aircraft and took control of two aircraft through finance lease arrangements, one of which was subsequently subleased to an

5. DEBT

Credit Facilities

In March 2025, the Company executed a new $75,000 Revolving Credit Facility with a group of lenders. The new Revolving Credit Facility replaces the Company's previous $25,000 Revolving Credit Facility. The interest rate on borrowings is determined using a base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.5%. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the unused Revolving Credit Facility of 0.6%. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and secured by a pool of collateral. Accordingly, the Company pledged certain assets as collateral, including certain previously unencumbered aircraft, to support the ability to efficiently utilize the Revolving Credit Facility. Available funds from the Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants that require the Company to maintain: 1) minimum liquidity, as defined within the agreement, of not less than $55,000, 2) a minimum adjusted EBITDAR of $110,000 for any four consecutive fiscal quarters and 3) a minimum ratio of the borrowing base of the collateral to outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants as of March 31, 2025. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $75,000 of financing available through the Revolving Credit Facility.

Long-term Debt

Term Loan Credit Facility

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company executed a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 ("Term Loan Credit Facility") for the purpose of financing the five Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The loan is repaid monthly through March 2030. During the lease term, payments collected from the lessee are applied directly to the repayment of principal and interest on the Term Loan Credit Facility. The Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, as well as the related lease payments received from the lessee, are pledged as collateral. In December 2024, the Company made a partial repayment of $60,000 on the Term Loan Credit Facility using proceeds from the reissued Class C trust certificates Series 2019-1.

The interest rate on the Term Loan Credit Facility is determined using a base rate, which resets monthly, plus an applicable margin, and a fixed credit spread adjustment of 0.1%. The applicable margin during the lease term is fixed at 3.75%, and is subsequently reduced to 3.25% once the aircraft have been redelivered to the Company and a Loan-to-Value ("LTV") ratio calculation is completed. To the extent that the LTV ratio exceeds 75% at the end of the lease term, a principal prepayment will be required in order to reduce the ratio to 75%. For more information on the LTV and the Company's related accounting policies, see Note 7, "Debt" included within Part II, Item 8 of the 2024 10-K.

(Unaudited)

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the lease term expired for one Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. As of the lease term date, the LTV level was not in excess of the 75% LTV ratio. Therefore, a principal prepayment was not required. The interest rate in effect as of March 31, 2025, for the redelivered aircraft was 7.7%. The interest rate in effect for the four remaining Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease as of March 31, 2025 was 8.2%.

Pass-Through Trust Certificates

During March 2022, the Company arranged for the issuance of Class A and Class B certificates Series 2022-1 (the "2022-1 EETC") in an aggregate face amount of $188,277 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft. The Company is required to make bi-annual principal and interest payments each March and September, through March 2031. These notes bear interest at an annual rate between 4.84% and 5.75%. The weighted average interest rate was 5.05% as of March 31, 2025.

In December 2019, the Company arranged for the issuance of Class A, Class B and Class C trust certificates Series 2019-1 (the “2019-1 EETC”), in an aggregate face amount of $248,587 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft, which was completed in 2020. The Company is required to make bi-annual principal and interest payments each June and December, through December 2027. These notes bear interest at an annual rate between 4.13% and 7.10%. The weighted average interest rate was 5.35% as of March 31, 2025.

In December 2024, the Company reissued Class C trust certificates from the 2019-1 EETC, which had previously been repaid, in an aggregate face amount of $60,000 and concurrently applied the proceeds to repay a portion of the Term Loan Credit Facility. The reissued Class C trust certificates had no impact on the bi-annual payment schedule or the term of the 2019-1 EETC.

Long-term Debt includes the following:

10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Equity Transactions

Common Stock Repurchases

The Company may purchase shares of its Common Stock on a discretionary basis from time-to-time through open market repurchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase, or other means, including through Rule 10b5-1 trading plans.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company announced the commencement of a secondary public offering of 6,346,105 shares of its Common Stock by the SCA Horus Stockholder. Upon completion of the secondary public offering, the SCA Horus Stockholder did not own any shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company did not receive any of the proceeds from the offering. The Company received authorization from its Board of Directors to repurchase up to $10,000 of its Common Stock in connection with this offering. The underwriters agreed to sell to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase up to $10,000 of the Company's Common Stock from the underwriters equal to the price at which the underwriter purchased the shares from the SCA Horus Stockholder. As part of this transaction, the Company repurchased 630,914 shares of its Common Stock, for a total cost of $10,000, or an average price of $15.85 per share. The Company incurred offering expenses of $481 in conjunction with the secondary public offering.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company did not have any remaining amount of Board authorization to repurchase shares of its Common Stock. Subsequent to March 31, 2025, the Company's Board of Directors authorized $25,000 to be used to repurchase shares of the Company's Common Stock.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 755,284 shares of its Common Stock at a total cost of $11,493, or an average price of $15.22 per share. The repurchases were part of open market purchases.

share. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, 252,869 and 189,652 warrants vested in each period. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the cumulative vested warrants held by Amazon were 4,362,004 and 3,413,745, respectively. The exercise period of these warrants is through the eighth anniversary of the issue date. No incremental warrants were issued, nor was the original warrant agreement modified, upon the signing of the A&R ATSA.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company has contractual obligations and commitments primarily with regard to lease arrangements, repayment of debt (see Note 5), payments under the TRA (see Note 8), and probable future purchases of aircraft.

The Company is subject to an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) related to the collection of federal excise taxes on optional passenger seat selection charges covering the period of October 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023. During 2024, the Company received an assessment of approximately $2,700 from the IRS related to the results of the audit. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has appealed the results of the audit through a formal protest with the IRS and there has been no further communication on this matter. The Company believes a loss in this matter is not probable and has not recognized a loss contingency as of March 31, 2025.

The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business and expenses legal costs as incurred. Management does not believe these proceedings will have a materially adverse effect on the Company.

12. OPERATING SEGMENTS

The Company has two operating and reportable segments: Passenger and Cargo, which are determined by the services provided and fleet utilized. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") makes resource allocation decisions with the objective of generating high returns and margins and mitigating the seasonality of the Company’s route network. The CODM assesses performance using multiple measures. Operating Income (Loss) is the measure of segment profit that is the most consistent with the amounts presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the measures the CODM uses to assess segment performance. The accounting policies for the Company’s reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" included within Part II, Item 8 of the 2024 10-K. There are no intercompany transactions between the Company’s reportable segments.

The following tables present financial information for the Company’s two operating segments: Passenger and Cargo. Certain operating expenses are allocated between the Passenger and Cargo segments. Certain non-fuel operating expenses are allocated based on metrics such as block hours, fleet count and departures, which best align with the nature of the respective expense. Other Operating, net includes crew and other employee travel, interrupted trip expenses, information technology, property taxes and insurance, including hull-liability insurance, supplies, legal and other professional fees, facilities and all other administrative and operational overhead expenses. The CODM does not consider Interest Income, Interest Expense, and Other Income, net, in assessing the financial performance of its operating segments. Collectively, these items are included in reconciliations of reporting segment financial amounts to consolidated financial amounts.

Nearly all of the Company’s long-lived assets are associated with the Passenger operating segment. Therefore, predominately all depreciation and amortization expense is associated with the Passenger operating segment. Substantially all the Company’s tangible assets are located in the U.S. The Company's

Unless otherwise indicated, the terms “Sun Country,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc., and its subsidiaries.

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion and analysis presents factors that had a material effect on our results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. Also discussed is our financial position as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. This section should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and discussion under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2024 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risk, assumptions and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and forecasts. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under the section of this report titled, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. You should carefully read the “Risk Factors” included in our 2024 10-K to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements.

Business Overview

Sun Country is a new breed of hybrid low-cost air carrier that dynamically deploys shared resources across our synergistic Scheduled Service, Charter, and Cargo businesses. By doing so, we believe we are able to generate high growth, high margins and strong cash flows with greater resilience than other passenger airlines. Based in Minnesota, we focus on serving leisure and visiting friends and relatives ("VFR") passengers, Charter customers and providing crew, maintenance and insurance (“CMI”) service to Amazon, with flights throughout the U.S. and to destinations in Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. We share resources, such as flight crews, across our Scheduled Service, Charter and Cargo business lines with the objective of generating high returns and margins and mitigating the seasonality of our route network. We optimize capacity using an agile peak demand scheduling strategy which aims to shift flying to markets during periods of peak demand and away from markets during periods of low demand. We believe this flexible business model provides greater resiliency to economic and industry downturns than a traditional scheduled service carrier. This strategy has been implemented and executed by an experienced management team with deep knowledge of the industry.

In March 2025, we entered into a Credit Card Program Agreement for a new co-branded credit card program. The new co-branded credit card program is expected to launch in the second half of 2025. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Card Program Agreement has a term of seven years following its launch, with automatic successive one-year renewal terms.

Operations in Review

We believe a key component of our success is establishing Sun Country as a high growth, low-cost carrier in the United States by attracting customers with low fares and garnering repeat business by delivering a high-

quality passenger experience, offering state-of-the-art interiors, complimentary streaming of in-flight entertainment to passenger devices, seat reclining and seat-back power in all our aircraft.

The demand for air travel services has historically been affected by U.S. and global economic conditions, or other geopolitical events. Our diversified business model, which includes a focus on leisure and VFR passengers, Charter and Cargo service, all primarily within the U.S., is unique in the airline sector and helps mitigate the impact of cyclical, economic, and industry downturns on our business when compared with other large U.S. passenger airlines. For example, most of our Charter contracts are non-cyclical because these customers still fly during normal economic downturns, and our casino contracts are long-term in nature. Further, our crew can be utilized by flying Cargo service in periods when the Passenger business is less profitable. Our business model is flexible, which gives us the ability to adjust our services in response to market conditions and is intended to produce the highest possible returns for Sun Country.

Certain accounting estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements involve financial projections or depend on factors that are inherently uncertain and challenging to estimate during periods of economic uncertainty. Should the current economic uncertainty persist or worsen, the Company may need to reevaluate these estimates and assumptions, potentially resulting in a material impact on the Company's financial position, assets, or earnings.

In June 2024, the Company entered into the A&R ATSA with Amazon that will result in an increase in the number of Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft that we operate on behalf of Amazon from 12 to 20. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received three additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which one aircraft was in-service. Cargo revenue will continue to grow during 2025 as all eight additional aircraft are expected to be in-service by the end of the third quarter of 2025. In the near term, the increase in aircraft we operate on behalf of Amazon will result in more resources being allocated to the Cargo business. This aligns with our strategy of long-term flexibility and supports our ability to mitigate the impact of cyclical, economic, and industry downturns on our business.

Total Operating Revenues increased $15,166, or 5%, to $326,649 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was a result of growth in the Company's Passenger business, as well as an increase in Cargo revenue primarily due to contractual rate escalations. These items are discussed in further detail below.

Passenger. Passenger revenue increased $11,224, or 4%, to $285,888 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The table below presents select operating data for lines of revenue within Passenger, expressed as year-over-year changes:


		Three Months Ended March 31,						% Change
		2025			2024
Scheduled Service and Ancillary Statistics:
	Departures	7,466			7,169			4	%
	Block Hours	27,242			25,496			7	%
	Passengers	1,165,073			1,157,511			1	%
	Average base fare per passenger	$	123.19		$	121.98		1	%
	Ancillary revenue per passenger	$	75.25		$	74.43		1	%
	Total fare per passenger	$	198.44		$	196.41		1	%
	RPMs (thousands)	1,686,484			1,654,851			2	%
	ASMs (thousands)	2,020,545			1,892,891			7	%
	TRASM (cents)	11.63			12.20			(5)	%
	Passenger load factor	83.5		%	87.4		%	(3.9)	%

Charter Statistics:
	Departures	2,468			2,292			8	%
	Block hours	5,424			4,900			11	%
	Charter revenue per block hour	$	10,083		$	9,655		4	%

Our year-over-year operational growth was slightly impacted by close-in demand weakness. This resulted in a 7% increase in ASMs, a 5% reduction in TRASM and a 3.9 percentage point reduction in load factor. Total passengers and total fare per passenger were materially consistent year-over-year.

Passenger revenue also benefited from the $7,380, or 16%, increase in Charter revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was the result of a 4% improvement in Charter revenue per block hour and an 11% increase in block hours. The improvement in Charter revenue per block hour was primarily driven by rate increases and mix of flying higher rate customers. The year-over-year increase in block hours was due to an increase in flying by large program customers and ad hoc flying.

Cargo. Revenue from cargo services increased $4,209, or 18%, to $28,157 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to contractual rate escalations. Further, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received three additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which one aircraft was in-service by the end of the quarter.

Other. Other revenue decreased $267, or 2%, to $12,604 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in Other revenue was due to $8,636 of rental revenue primarily associated with an average of six leased aircraft during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to $9,275 of rental revenue associated with an average of seven leased aircraft during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Operating Expenses

Aircraft Fuel. We believe Aircraft Fuel expense, excluding indirect fuel credits, is the best measure of the effect of fuel prices on our business as it consists solely of direct fuel expenses that are related to our operations and is consistent with how management analyzes our operating performance. This measure is defined as GAAP Aircraft Fuel expense, excluding indirect fuel credits that are recognized within Aircraft Fuel expense, but are not directly related to our Fuel Cost per Gallon.

The primary components of Aircraft Fuel expense are shown in the following table:


	Three Months Ended March 31,				% Change
	2025		2024
Total Aircraft Fuel Expense	$	64,619	$	70,304	(8)	%
Indirect Fuel Credits	2,251		954		136	%
Aircraft Fuel Expense, Excluding Indirect Fuel Credits	$	66,870	$	71,258	(6)	%
Fuel Gallons Consumed (thousands)	25,171		23,676		6	%
Fuel Cost per Gallon, Excluding Indirect Fuel Credits	$	2.66	$	3.01	(12)	%

Aircraft Fuel expense decreased 8% year-over-year due to a 12% decrease in the average fuel cost per gallon. This was partially offset by a 6% increase in consumption as a result of our operational growth.

Salaries, Wages, and Benefits. Salaries, Wages, and Benefits expense increased $10,607, or 13%, to $92,845 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The year-over-year increase in Salaries, Wages, and Benefits was impacted by a 9% increase in employee headcount to support the increase in total system block hours as a result of operational growth, and contractual rate increases for our pilots. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company's flight attendants and dispatchers ratified new collective bargaining agreements. The new collective bargaining agreements include contractual pay increases, which increased the Company's Salaries, Wages, and Benefits expense in the current period, and will have a greater impact in future periods due to the timing of ratification within the quarter.

Maintenance. Maintenance expense increased $2,045, or 12%, to $18,862 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The year-over-year increase in Maintenance expense was primarily driven by growth in our fleet and operations, an increase in non-routine events, and higher rates for service. These increases were partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in the number of routine, time-based heavy maintenance and landing gear events.

Sales and Marketing. Sales and Marketing expense decreased $284, or 3%, to $10,395 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease was driven by a reduction in Global Distribution System ("GDS") fees resulting from a decrease in sales through indirect distribution channels, as well as decreases in advertising and other expenses.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and Amortization expense increased $995, or 4%, to $24,804 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the impact of a change in the composition of our aircraft fleet that resulted in an increased number of owned aircraft and aircraft under finance leases. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were an average of 51 and 50 aircraft that were owned or under finance leases, respectively.

Ground Handling. Ground Handling expense increased $2,253, or 25%, to $11,407, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This year-over-year increase was the result of a 5% increase in Passenger segment departures from our expanding operations, as well as a combination of rate increases due to market pressures at our outsourced ground stations and operational challenges in the quarter.

Landing Fees and Airport Rent. Landing Fees and Airport Rent increased $2,104, or 14%, to $16,833 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. This year-over-year increase was the result of a 5% increase in Passenger segment departures from our expanding operations, as well as rate increases at airports due to market pressures.

Special Items, net. Special Items, net included $1,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which represents the ratification bonus for the new five-year collective bargaining agreement paid to eligible flight attendants during the period, as well as the related payroll tax expense. For more information, see Note 9 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.

Other Operating, net. Other Operating, net increased $262, or 1%, to $28,839 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in operations, partially offset by our engine part sales programs.

Non-operating Income (Expense)

Interest Income. Interest income decreased $453, or 19%, to $1,995 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the Company's average investment balance year-over-year.

Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1,487, or 13%, to $9,625 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was due to year-over-year decreases in debt balances; as well as the partial refinancing of the Term Loan Credit Facility which resulted in a lower interest rate. For more information on the Company's Debt, see Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.

Other, net. Other, net was a $478 expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as a result of the Company incurring expenses of $481 in conjunction with the secondary public offering. Other, net for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was not material. For more information on the secondary public offering, see Note 10 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.

Income Tax. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was 24.1% compared to 24.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The effective tax rate in both periods were materially consistent.

Passenger. Passenger Operating Income decreased $1,811 to $54,720 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The Operating Margin Percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2025 decreased by 1.4 percentage points, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The year-over-year decrease in Passenger Operating Income and Operating Margin Percentage were primarily driven by increased expenses as a result of operational growth, contractual rate increases for our pilots, rate increases for Ground Handling and Landing Fees and Airport Rent, and the ratification bonus paid to eligible flight attendants during the period; partially offset by a 12% decrease in the average fuel cost per gallon. These expense increases were partially offset by revenue growth, primarily driven by the Charter line of business. For more information on the changes in the components of Operating Income for the Passenger segment, refer to the Results of Operations discussion above.

Cargo. Cargo Operating Income (Loss) changed by $2,881, to $1,526, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. Operating Margin Percentage for the three months ended March 31, 2025 improved by 11.1 percentage points, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The changes in both Operating Income (Loss) and Operating Margin Percentage were primarily driven by contractual rate escalations. Further, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received three additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which one aircraft was in-service. For more information on the components of Operating Income (Loss) for the Cargo segment, refer to the Results of Operations discussion above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We sometimes use information that is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. We believe certain charges included in our operating expenses on a GAAP basis make it difficult to compare our current period results to prior periods as well as future periods and guidance. The tables below show a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this report to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures included as supplemental disclosure because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance. Derivations of Operating Income and Net Income are well recognized performance measurements in the airline industry that are frequently used by our management, as well as by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in comparing the operating performance of companies in our industry.

The measures described above have limitations as analytical tools. Some of the limitations applicable to these measures include: they do not reflect the impact of certain cash and non-cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently than we do, limiting each measure’s usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the following non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to the possible differences in the method of calculation and in the items being adjusted.

For the foregoing reasons, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA have significant limitations which affect their use as indicators of our profitability. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

CASM and Adjusted CASM

CASM is a key airline cost metric defined as operating expenses divided by total available seat miles. Adjusted CASM is a non-GAAP measure derived from CASM by excluding fuel costs, costs related to our cargo operations, depreciation and amortization recognized on certain assets that generate lease income, stock-based compensation, certain commissions and other costs of selling our vacation products from this measure as these costs are unrelated to our airline operations and improve comparability to our peers. Adjusted CASM is an important measure used by management and our Board of Directors in assessing quarterly and annual cost performance. Adjusted CASM is commonly used by industry analysts and we believe it is an important metric by which they compare our airline to others in the industry, although other airlines may exclude certain other costs in their calculation of Adjusted CASM. The measure is also the subject of frequent questions from investors.

Adjusted CASM excludes fuel costs. By excluding volatile fuel expenses that are outside of our control from our unit metrics, we believe that we have better visibility into the results of operations and our non-fuel cost initiatives. Our industry is highly competitive and is characterized by high fixed costs, so even a small reduction in non-fuel operating costs can lead to a significant improvement in operating results. In addition, we believe that all domestic 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 and trends in company-specific cost drivers, such as labor rates, aircraft costs and maintenance costs, and productivity, which are more controllable by management.

We have excluded costs related to the Cargo operations, as well as depreciation and amortization recognized on certain assets that generate lease income as these operations do not create ASMs. The Cargo expenses in the reconciliation below are different from the total operating expenses for our Cargo segment in the “Segment Information” table presented above, due to several items that are included in the Cargo segment, but have been captured in other line items used in the Adjusted CASM calculation. The Company has entered into certain transactions where it serves as a lessor. As of March 31, 2025, we leased or subleased six aircraft. Adjusted CASM further excludes special items and other adjustments, as defined in the relevant reporting period, that are not representative of the ongoing costs necessary to our airline operations and may improve comparability between periods. We also exclude stock compensation expense when computing Adjusted CASM. The

Company’s compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees and executives and is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any period. Thus, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any period.

As derivations of Adjusted CASM are not determined in accordance with GAAP, such measures are susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate the measures in the same manner. As a result, derivations of Adjusted CASM as presented may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted CASM should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for CASM. For the aforementioned reasons, Adjusted CASM has significant limitations which affect its use as an indicator of our profitability. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

The following tables present the reconciliation of CASM to Adjusted CASM:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2025 included our existing cash and cash equivalents of $53,391 and short-term investments of $105,376, our expected cash generated from operations, and the $75,000 of available funds under the Revolving Credit Facility. We invest cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid securities with strong credit ratings. We classify our investments as current assets because of their highly liquid nature and availability to be converted into cash to fund current operations. Given the significant portion of our portfolio held in cash and cash equivalents and the high credit quality of our debt security investments, we do not anticipate fluctuations in the aggregate fair value of our investments to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital position.

In addition, we had restricted cash of $13,737 as of March 31, 2025, which generally consists of cash received as prepayment for chartered flights that is maintained in separate escrow accounts prior to the date of

transportation in accordance with DOT regulations. The restrictions are released once the charter transportation is provided.

We believe our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, combined with expected future cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our debt payment obligations for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot predict what the effect on our business and financial position might be from a change in the competitive environment in which we operate or from events beyond our control, such as volatile fuel prices, economic conditions, pandemics, weather-related disruptions, the impact of airline bankruptcies, restructurings or consolidations, U.S. military actions, regulations, or acts of terrorism.

For a more detailed discussion on our Liquidity and Capital Resources, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part II, Item 7 in our 2024 10-K.

Aircraft – We do not maintain an aircraft order book; instead, we enter into aircraft transactions on an opportunistic basis based on market conditions, our prevailing level of liquidity and capital market availability. As a result, we are not locked into large future capital expenditures. We have historically financed aircraft through debt and finance leases. As of March 31, 2025, our fleet consisted of 66 Boeing 737-NG aircraft. This includes 45 aircraft in the passenger fleet, 15 cargo aircraft operated or received pursuant to the A&R ATSA, and six aircraft currently on lease to unaffiliated airlines.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company received three additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which one aircraft was in-service. All eight additional aircraft are expected to be in-service by the end of the third quarter of 2025. For more information on our fleet, see Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.

Maintenance Deposits - In addition to funding the acquisition of aircraft, we are required by certain of our aircraft lessors to fund cash reserves in advance for scheduled maintenance to act as collateral for the benefit of the lessors. Qualifying payments that are expected to be recovered from lessors are recorded as Lessor Maintenance Deposits on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2025, we had $56,858 of total Lessor Maintenance Deposits. All maintenance deposits as of March 31, 2025 are estimated to be recoverable either through reimbursable maintenance events or through application towards the purchase of the aircraft.

Credit Facilities - We use our Credit Facilities to provide liquidity support for general corporate purposes and to finance the acquisition of aircraft. In March 2025, the Company executed a new $75,000 Revolving Credit Facility with a group of lenders. The new Revolving Credit Facility replaces the Company's previous $25,000 Revolving Credit Facility. The Company pledged certain assets, including certain previously unencumbered aircraft, to support the ability to efficiently utilize the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $75,000 of financing available through the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with its covenants within the Revolving Credit Facility as of March 31, 2025.

Debt - At our discretion, we obtain debt financing in order to purchase, or refinance aircraft. The Company has not entered into any new debt financing arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

For more information on our credit facilities or debt, see Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.

TRA Liability - During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we made a payment of $10,525 and $3,350 to the TRA holders, respectively. Payments will be made in future periods as Pre-IPO Tax Attributes are

Operating Cash Flow Activities

Operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2025 provided $16,431, as compared to $30,721 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, our Net Income was $36,535, as compared to $35,313 during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Our operating cash flow is primarily impacted by the following factors:

Seasonality of Advance Ticket Sales. We sell tickets for air travel in advance of the customer's travel date. When we receive a cash payment at the time of sale, we record the cash received on advance sales as deferred revenue in Air Traffic Liabilities. Air Traffic Liabilities typically increase during the fall and early winter months as advanced ticket sales grow prior to the late winter and spring peak travel season and decrease during the summer months. Most tickets can be purchased no more than 12 months in advance, therefore any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within that timeframe. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, $133,807 of revenue recognized in Passenger revenue was included in the $160,686 of Air Traffic Liabilities as of December 31, 2024.

Aircraft Fuel. Aircraft Fuel expense represented approximately 24% and 27% of our total operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The market price for jet fuel is volatile, which can impact the comparability of our periodic cash flows from operations. Fuel cost per gallon decreased by 12% year-over-year. Fuel consumption increased by 6% during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the prior year as a result of the increase in fleet size and total operations. We expect continued volatility in Aircraft Fuel prices per gallon due to market conditions and global geopolitical events.

Investing Cash Flow Activities

Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures were $15,409 and $29,698 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2025 included the acquisition of one engine and other items not individually material. Our capital expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2024 primarily included the acquisition of an aircraft and other items not individually material.

Investments. The Company's net investment activity resulted in cash outflows of $1,167 during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to cash inflows of $8,300 during the three months ended March 31, 2024. The year-over-year change is a result of a difference in timing of debt security maturities and a reduction in the Company's average investment balance year-over-year.

Financing Cash Flow Activities

Debt. At our discretion, we obtain debt financing in order to purchase, or refinance aircraft. The Company has not entered into any new debt financing arrangements during the periods presented above. For more information on our debt financings and future repayment schedules, see Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item I of this report.

Finance Leases. Our repayments of finance lease obligations were $4,923 and $5,847 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had 13 and 16 aircraft finance leases, respectively.

Common Stock Repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 630,914 shares of its Common Stock at $15.85 per share. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company repurchased 755,284 shares of its Common Stock at $15.22 per share. For more information on the
