American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) today reported its
second-quarter 2021 financial results, including:
- Second-quarter net profit of $19 million, or $0.03 per
diluted share. Excluding net special
items1, second-quarter net loss
of $1.1 billion, or ($1.69) per share.
- Second-quarter revenue of $7.5 billion, up 87%
sequentially from the first quarter of 2021.
- Ended the second quarter with approximately $21.3
billion of total available liquidity, a record for the
Company.
- Accelerated the deleveraging process with prepayment of
$950 million spare parts term loan.
- Company plans to pay down approximately $15 billion of
debt by the end of 2025.
“We have taken a number of steps to solidify our business
through our Green Flag Plan and it shows in our second-quarter
results,” said American’s Chairman and CEO Doug Parker. “We have
reshaped our network, simplified our fleet and made our cost
structure more efficient, all to create an airline that will
outperform competitors and deliver for customers. The green flag
has dropped and we are ready thanks to the tremendous efforts and
dedication of the American Airlines team.”
American is committed to strengthening its business and
returning to profitability by focusing on its three strategic
objectives: Create a world-class customer experience, make culture
a competitive advantage and build American to thrive forever.
To create a world-class customer experience,
American:
- Plans to operate more than 150 new routes this summer,
including several new destinations and greater connectivity in
Miami, Austin, Texas, and Orlando, Florida. During the summer
season, American expects to fly more than 90% of its domestic seat
capacity and 80% of its international seat capacity, in each case
as compared to 2019.
- Scheduled 10 new domestic and four new international
destinations from Austin for this fall as a result of increased
customer demand. American and its partners will offer the most
options in Austin this fall, with nearly 100 peak day
departures.
- Transitioned regional flight operations at Reagan National
Airport from Gate 35X to a new 14-gate concourse, providing
customers with a range of new amenities, including an all
dual-class operation.
- Continued to launch COVID-19 testing tools to make flying safer
and easier, including self-administered and packable home
tests.
- Worked with VeriFLY to expand the app’s capabilities to include
COVID-19 vaccination verification, which is now available in 11
countries, with more planned in the third quarter. Customer usage
of VeriFLY has quadrupled since the first quarter and the app can
be used at expedited check-in lanes at most U.S. hub airports.
- Introduced Five Star Essentials at Charlotte Douglas
International Airport, Dallas Fort Worth International Airport and
Miami International Airport. The service provides an extra set of
hands during the customer journey from check-in to the gate.
- Continued to welcome back customers to Admirals Club lounges
across the system with new signature menu offerings and the
expansion of innovative touchless technology. All Admirals Club
lounges will reopen by the end of August and American’s Flagship
Lounge locations will start reopening this fall.
- Reintroduced full beverage service in all domestic premium
cabins and resumed offering canned drinks, juice and water in the
main cabin.
- Revamped its premium cabin onboard amenity kits in partnership
with Shinola and D.S. & Durga, brands celebrated for thoughtful
design and creativity.
- Refreshed its inflight entertainment offerings by adding new
lifestyle entertainment choices with free access to Rosetta Stone
and Skillshare, making it the first U.S. airline to tap into
online/remote learning from 35,000 feet.
To make culture a competitive advantage,
American:
- Fortified its staffing by completing all required recall pilot
training and bringing back more than 3,000 team members from leaves
— with thousands more flight attendants returning from leaves this
fall. American has hired nearly 3,500 new team members so far in
2021 and plans to hire 350 pilots this year and more than 1,000
pilots and 800 flight attendants in 2022.
- Donated 10 million AAdvantage® miles to Make-A-Wish, the
organization that creates life-changing wishes for children with
critical illnesses, to help grant 95 wishes, in honor of American’s
95th birthday.
- Initiated a new partnership with the National Park Foundation
to encourage exploration of some of the country’s most iconic
natural wonders, historic sites, and cultural treasures, and to
connect customers with opportunities to support the future of
America’s national parks. Customers donated more than 37 million
AAdvantage miles to the National Park Foundation through the
airline’s new Miles for Our Planet initiative.
- Raised nearly $1.5 million in support of the American Red Cross
and Red Crescent Societies’ efforts to fight the COVID-19 pandemic
around the world, including in Brazil, India and other countries in
need of assistance to battle the devastating virus. The airline and
more than 11,000 AAdvantage members raised the full amount in less
than one month.
- Partnered with United Way of Miami-Dade to provide travel
assistance and help reunite families that were impacted by the
tragic building collapse in Surfside, Florida.
To build American to thrive forever,
American:
- Committed to develop a science-based target for reducing its
greenhouse gas emissions by 2035, supporting the airline’s existing
commitment to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. American also
agreed to terms to purchase up to 10 million gallons of
carbon-neutral sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) produced by
Prometheus Fuels, which uses a novel process to make net zero
carbon transportation fuels, including SAF.
- Announced investment in Vertical Aerospace, a leading
U.K.-based engineering and aeronautical business developing
electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft. With the
investment, American is demonstrating its focus on emerging
technologies to reduce carbon emissions and investing in innovative
ways that could improve the customer journey.
- During the second quarter, American had debt amortization and
prepayments of approximately $985 million.
Liquidity and balance sheetThe Company’s daily
cash burn rate turned positive for the second quarter to a cash
build rate of approximately $1 million per day2. American ended the
second quarter with a record of approximately $21.3 billion of
total available liquidity. The Company expects to keep near-term
liquidity at elevated levels but expects to step down its target
liquidity to approximately $10 billion to $12 billion in 2022.
American is committed to improving its balance sheet. The
Company now expects to reduce its debt by more than $15 billion by
the end of 2025 versus its previous guidance of $8 billion to $10
billion. American plans to accomplish this objective through
naturally occurring amortization, by using excess cash and free
cash flow to pay down prepayable debt, and by potentially using
cash instead of debt for certain future aircraft deliveries.
As evidence of the Company’s commitment to delever and its
confidence in the future, today American is prepaying the entirety
of its $950 million spare parts term loan that was scheduled to
mature in April 2023.
Network and partnershipsAmerican and JetBlue
continue to roll out benefits for customers to create a seamless
customer experience. Starting this fall, AAdvantage elite and
TrueBlue Mosaic members will also begin to enjoy benefits across
both carriers. This next phase of benefits will include priority
check-in, security and boarding, plus up to two complimentary
checked bags. American’s AAdvantage members and JetBlue’s TrueBlue
members already earn miles or points traveling on either carrier.
AAdvantage is now the only loyalty program that allows elite
status-earning opportunities when flying across three U.S. carriers
— American, JetBlue and Alaska Airlines.
As a result of American’s Northeast Alliance with JetBlue, New
York and Boston travelers are seeing significantly expanded travel
opportunities with new nonstop service and additional codeshare
routes. As part of the alliance, American and JetBlue will operate
more than 700 daily flights from New York and Boston this winter,
giving customers more choice than any other airline can offer.
Additionally, customers traveling on a joint American-JetBlue
itinerary will now experience the fastest secure side connecter at
New York — JFK and an industry-leading network. Expansion of the
airline’s network will provide better global connectivity for
growing markets like Austin, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee.
With American’s extensive network, partnerships and membership
in one world, customers returning to travel
have access to an unmatched global network.
Guidance and investor updateAmerican will
continue to match its forward capacity with observed bookings
trends. Based on current trends, the Company expects its
third-quarter capacity to be down approximately 15% to 20% compared
to the third quarter of 2019. American expects its third-quarter
total revenue to be down approximately 20% versus the third quarter
of 2019. The Company also expects its third quarter pre-tax margin
excluding net special items will be between negative 3% and
negative 7%3.
For additional financial forecasting detail, please refer to the
Company’s investor update, filed with this press release with the
SEC on Form 8-K. This filing will be available at
aa.com/investorrelations.
Conference call and webcast detailsThe
Company will conduct a live audio webcast of its financial
results conference call at 7:30 a.m. CDT today. The call will
be available to the public on a listen-only basis at
aa.com/investorrelations. An archive of the webcast will be
available on the website through at least Aug. 22.
NotesSee the accompanying notes in the
Financial Tables section of this press release for further
explanation, including a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP
financial information.
- The Company recognized $1.4
billion of net special credits before the effect of taxes in
the second quarter of 2021 principally related to the financial
assistance received pursuant to Payroll Support Program
Agreements.
- A reconciliation of this
calculation can be found in the tables that follow.
- American is unable to reconcile
certain forward-looking projections to GAAP, as the nature or
amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time.

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP

American Airlines Group Inc. (the Company) sometimes uses financial
measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial
statements but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to
understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to
allow for period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these
non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to
investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable
to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and
should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or
superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity
prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is providing a
reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their
comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis.The tables below
present the reconciliations of the following GAAP measures to their
non-GAAP measures:- Pre-Tax Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax
Loss Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)- Pre-Tax
Margin (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Margin Excluding Net Special Items
(non-GAAP measure)- Net Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Net Loss
Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)- Basic and Diluted
Earnings (Loss) Per Share (GAAP measure) to Basic and Diluted Loss
Per Share Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)- Operating
Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Operating Loss Excluding Net
Special Items (non-GAAP measure)Management uses these non-GAAP
financial measures to evaluate the Company’s current operating
performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As net
special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount,
the adjustment to exclude net special items allows management an
additional tool to understand the Company’s core operating
performance.Additionally, the tables below present the
reconciliations of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total
operating costs excluding net special items and fuel (non-GAAP
measure) and total operating costs per ASM (CASM) to CASM excluding
net special items and fuel. Management uses total operating costs
and CASM excluding net special items and aircraft fuel to evaluate
the Company’s current operating performance and for
period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the
Company has no control, impacts the comparability of
period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude
aircraft fuel and net special items allows management an additional
tool to understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and
core operating performance. |

The 2021 second quarter mainline operating special items, net
principally included $1.3 billion of Payroll Support Program (PSP)
financial assistance. The 2021 six month period mainline operating
special items, net principally included $3.2 billion of PSP
financial assistance, offset in part by $168 million of salary and
medical costs primarily associated with certain team members who
opted in to voluntary early retirement programs offered as a result
of reductions to the Company’s operation due to the COVID-19
pandemic. Cash payments for salary and medical costs associated
with our voluntary early retirement programs were approximately
$120 million and $290 million for the 2021 second quarter and six
month period, respectively.The 2020 second quarter mainline
operating special items, net principally included $1.8 billion of
PSP financial assistance, offset in part by $332 million of salary
and medical costs primarily associated with certain team members
who opted in to voluntary early retirement programs. The 2020 six
month period mainline operating special items, net principally
included $1.8 billion of PSP financial assistance, offset in part
by $743 million of fleet impairment charges, $537 million of salary
and medical costs primarily associated with certain team members
who opted in to voluntary early retirement programs and $228
million of one-time labor contract expenses resulting from the
ratification of a new contract with the Company’s maintenance and
fleet service team members, including signing bonuses and
adjustments to vacation accruals resulting from pay rate
increases.Fleet impairment charges in the 2020 six month period
included a $675 million non-cash write-down of aircraft and spare
parts and $68 million in write-offs of right-of-use assets and
lease return costs associated with our mainline fleet, principally
Boeing 757, Boeing 767, Airbus A330-300 and Embraer 190 fleets,
which were retired as a result of the decline in demand for air
travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. |

month period included a non-cash write-down of aircraft and spare
parts associated with our regional fleet, principally certain

Average Daily Cash Build (Burn) |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
The Company’s
average daily cash build (burn) is presented in the table below,
which is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is useful
information to investors and others in evaluating the Company’s
liquidity position and cash flows from its core operating
performance. The Company defines cash build (burn) as net cash
provided by (used in) operating activities, net cash provided by
(used in) investing activities and net cash provided by (used in)
financing activities, adjusted for (1) Payroll Support Program
financial assistance, (2) net purchases (proceeds from sale) of
short-term investments and restricted short-term investments, (3)
proceeds from issuance of long-term debt, net of deferred financing
costs, but excluding aircraft financing, (4) proceeds from issuance
of equity, (5) prepayments of long-term debt and (6) other cash
flows that are not representative of the Company’s core operating
performance.This non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to
similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should
be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or
superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity
prepared in accordance with GAAP. |
