"We finished the year strong with a fourth quarter adjusted
airline-only earnings per share of $3.00," stated Gregory
Anderson, president and CEO of Allegiant Travel Company.
"Thanks to the continued efforts of Team Allegiant, we made strides
towards delivering on our three key initiatives outlined during
2024:
- Peak Flying Restoration: Aircraft utilization during the
holiday period averaged 9.6 hours per day, a 21% year-over-year
increase, matching 2019 peak hours per day. The Team managed
operations well, reaching a controllable completion rate of 99.7%
in December.
- Product Enhancements: Functionality of our third bundled
product offering was restored, boosting ancillary revenue by over
$1 per passenger. Combined with
Allegiant Extra's premium product success and our strong cobrand
credit card program, we achieved a record total ancillary revenue
of over $78 per passenger during the
fourth quarter.
- Fleet Integration: Three MAX aircraft were delivered this
quarter, totaling four in service by year-end. Our robust and
effective training program in place is providing for a smooth
transition for our pilots to become certified to fly this new fleet
type to Allegiant.
"The progress achieved during the quarter on these initiatives
helped produce an adjusted airline-only operating margin of 13.2
percent, more than 6.5 points higher than the prior year.
"As we move into 2025, we remain focused on driving improved
performance with a clear path ahead. Although our planned 17
percent increase in capacity this year will naturally pressure unit
revenues, this growth should be accretive to earnings, as our
infrastructure enables us to grow efficiently, and is expected to
result in a sizable reduction in our unit costs.
"Capacity growth in 2025 will be achieved by higher aircraft
utilization, particularly during peak leisure demand periods. We
plan to take delivery of 9 MAX aircraft throughout the year, all of
which have much greater earnings potential than the older A320
aircraft they will replace. Furthermore, we continue expanding our
premium seating product with 56 aircraft currently fitted with
Allegiant Extra, which is enhancing ancillary revenue per
passenger. Collectively, these improvements are expected to result
in a full-year, airline-only EPS, excluding special charges, of
$9.00, an expected increase of over
50 percent compared to 2024.
"We have progressed meaningfully with our comprehensive review
of Sunseeker Resort. As a result we have launched a competitive
process to sell at least a majority interest in the resort and are
reviewing promising indications of interest from several investors.
Given the uncertainty around the timing of any potential
transaction, we will only be providing guidance for Sunseeker on a
quarterly basis. That said, we expect the property will earn
positive EBITDA of $2 million during
the first quarter, a nearly $7
million EBITDA swing compared to the same quarter in
2024.
"Exiting 2024, we have turned a corner, setting the stage for an
important year ahead. We are focused on performance and strong
execution. The progress we've made through our key initiatives,
ancillary revenue growth, and enhanced efficiency further
strengthened our foundation. Thanks to the dedication of Team
Allegiant, we are seeing remarkable improvements. Your efforts have
once again helped land us near the top of the Wall Street Journal's
list of best airlines in 2024. I am excited for the opportunities
ahead and look forward to building on this success in 2025."

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 airline-only earnings per
share, excluding special charges, consolidated earnings per share,
excluding special charges, and Sunseeker EBITDA, excluding special
charges. 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.

Appendix A
Non-GAAP
Presentation
Three and Twelve Months Ended Months Ended
December 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
We present adjusted consolidated operating expense and adjusted
consolidated operating income, which exclude special charges
related to (i) an impairment charge to Sunseeker, (ii) the impact
of losses and insurance recoveries incurred primarily as the result
of hurricanes and other insured events at Sunseeker and (iii) the
airline special charges listed in the table below. We also present
adjusted consolidated non-operating expenses, adjusted consolidated
income before income taxes, adjusted consolidated net income, and
adjusted consolidated diluted earnings per share, which exclude the
special charges described above and a one-time loss on the
disposition of an investment.
We present adjusted airline-only operating expense and adjusted
airline-only operating income, which exclude special charges
related to (i) aircraft accelerated depreciation on early
retirement of certain airframes, (ii) a ratification bonus for the
new collective bargaining agreement for our flight attendants, and
(iii) an organizational restructuring of certain administrative
personnel. We also present adjusted airline-only non-operating
expenses, adjusted airline-only income before income taxes,
adjusted airline-only net income, and adjusted airline-only diluted
earnings per share, which exclude special charges and a one-time
loss on the disposition of an investment.
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 estimated 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 disposition of
an investment. 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), 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), 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.

In 2024 and 2023, we
recognized special charges for aircraft accelerated depreciation
related to our revised fleet plan. Additionally in 2024, we
recognized charges for a ratification bonus paid to flight
attendants in connection with our new collective bargaining
agreement and an organizational restructuring of certain
administrative personnel. The accelerated depreciation,
ratification bonus, and restructuring expenses are sometimes
referred to as "airline special charges."
|
(3)
|
In 2024 and 2023, we
recognized as special charges the full amount of estimated property
damage to Sunseeker Resort due to weather and other insured events
less the amount of recognized insurance recoveries through the end
of the applicable period. Additionally, in fourth quarter 2024, the
Company recorded an impairment charge for Sunseeker Resort and the
related Aileron Golf Course which is also recorded as a special
charge on the Income Statement. We sometimes refer to all of these
charges as "Sunseeker special charges."
|

|
In fourth quarter
2024, the Company incurred a $1.2M non-operating loss on the
disposition of an investment that arose from the contribution of
intellectual property rights to a private company. The investment's
carrying value was $2.0M at the time of the sale.
