ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)


Note 1—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
JetBlue Airways Corporation, or JetBlue, provides air transportation services across the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America. Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of JetBlue and our subsidiaries which are collectively referred to as “we” or the “Company”. All majority-owned subsidiaries are consolidated on a line by line basis, with all intercompany transactions and balances being eliminated. These condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our 2020 audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, or our 2020 Form 10-K.
These condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared by us following the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC. In our opinion they reflect all adjustments, including normal recurring items, that are necessary to present fairly the results for interim periods. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations; however, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
Due to the impacts from the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, and other factors, our operating results for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the entire fiscal year.
Investment Securities
Investment securities consist of available-for-sale investment securities and held-to-maturity investment securities. When sold, we use a specific identification method to determine the cost of the securities.
Available-for-sale investment securities. Our available-for-sale investment securities include investments such as time deposits and convertible debt securities. The fair values of these instruments are based on observable inputs in non-active markets, which are therefore classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. We did not record any material gains or losses on these securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020. Refer to Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for an explanation of the fair value hierarchy structure.
Held-to-maturity investment securities. We did not have any held-to-maturity investments as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. We did not record any significant gains or losses on these securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 or 2020.
The aggregate carrying values of our short-term and long-term investment securities consisted of the following at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in millions):
June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Available-for-sale securities
Time deposits $ 1,311  $ 1,130 
Debt securities
Total available-for-sale securities 1,318  1,137 
Total investment securities $ 1,318  $ 1,137 
Other Investments
Our wholly-owned subsidiary, JetBlue Technology Ventures, LLC, or JTV, has equity investments in emerging companies which do not have readily determinable fair values. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-01, Financial Instruments-Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, we account for these investments using a measurement alternative which allows entities to measure these investments at cost, less any impairment, adjusted for changes from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identifiable or similar investments of the same issuer. The carrying amount of these investments was $46 million and $40 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 1. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JETBLUE AIRWAYS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

We have an approximate 10% ownership interest in the TWA Flight Center Hotel at John F. Kennedy International Airport and it is also accounted for under the measurement alternative. The carrying amount of this investment was $14 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Equity Method Investments
Investments in which we can exercise significant influence are accounted for using the equity method in accordance with Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") Accounting Standards Codification (the "Codification"). The carrying amount of our equity method investments was $32 million and $34 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, and is included within other assets on our consolidated balance sheets.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
New accounting rules and disclosure requirements can impact our financial results and the comparability of our financial statements. The authoritative literature which has recently been issued and that we believe will impact our consolidated financial statements is described below. There are also several new proposals under development. If and when enacted, these proposals may have a significant impact on our financial statements.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The update eliminates, clarifies, and modifies certain guidance related to the accounting for income taxes. We adopted the requirements of ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021. The adoption of ASU 2019-12 did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-06, Debt —Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06"). This update simplifies the accounting for certain convertible instruments by removing the separation models for convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and for convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, more convertible debt instruments will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. Additionally, this update amends the diluted earnings per share calculation for convertible instruments by requiring the use of the if-converted method. The treasury stock method is no longer available. Entities may adopt the requirements of ASU 2020-06 using either a full or modified retrospective approach, and it is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2021. Early adoption is permitted for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted the requirements of ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2021. The adoption did not have an impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements as we did not have any convertible instruments outstanding as of December 31, 2020. As discussed in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, in March 2021, we completed a private offering for $750 million of 0.50% convertible notes due 2026. We evaluated the conversion feature of this note offering for embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and the substantial premium model in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. Based on our assessment, we concluded that separate accounting for the conversion feature of this note offering is not required. The carrying value of this convertible note was included within long-term debt and finance lease obligations on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2021.

Note 2— Revenue Recognition
The Company categorizes the revenues received from contracts with its customers by revenue source as we believe it best depicts the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of our revenue and cash flow. The following table provides the revenues recognized by revenue source for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in millions):
Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30,
2021 2020 2021 2020
Passenger revenue
Passenger travel $ 1,322  $ 145  $ 1,945  $ 1,553 
Loyalty revenue - air transportation 66  25  113  129 
Other revenue
Loyalty revenue 81  38  126  88 
Other revenue 30  48  33 
Total revenue $ 1,499  $ 215  $ 2,232  $ 1,803 
TrueBlue® is our customer loyalty program designed to reward and recognize our customers. TrueBlue® points earned from ticket purchases are presented as a reduction to Passenger travel within passenger revenue. Amounts presented in Loyalty revenue - air transportation represent the revenue recognized when TrueBlue® points have been redeemed and the travel has occurred.
In June 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Co-Branded Card Agreement with Barclaycard® (the "Co-Brand Agreement"). The Co-Brand Agreement, which amends and restates the existing Barclaycard® Co-Brand Agreement, extends the term to 2031 and modifies certain other terms. The terms of the Co-Brand Agreement are effective January 1, 2021. The performance obligations such air transportation; use of the JetBlue brand name, and access to our frequent flyer customer lists; advertising; and other airline benefits. are consistent with the previous agreement. We continue to use the accounting method that allocates the consideration received based on the relative selling prices of those performance obligations. The increase in loyalty program revenues are primarily related to brand and non-air transportation elements. In addition, in July 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Co-Branded Card Agreement with MasterCard® to continue our partnership as network provider under the Co-Brand Agreements.
Contract Liabilities
Our contract liabilities primarily consist of ticket sales for which transportation has not yet been provided, unused credits available to customers, and outstanding loyalty points available for redemption (in millions):
June 30, 2021 December 31, 2020
Air traffic liability - passenger travel $ 1,628  $ 964 
Air traffic liability - loyalty program and deferred revenue 1,350  825 
Total 2,978  1,789 
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we recognized passenger revenue of $371 million and $666 million respectively, that was included in passenger travel liability at the beginning of the respective periods.
The Company elected the practical expedient that allows entities to not disclose the amount of the remaining transaction price and its expected timing of recognition for passenger tickets if the contract has an original expected duration of one year or less or if certain other conditions are met. We elected to apply this practical expedient to our contract liabilities relating to passenger travel and ancillary services as our tickets or any related passenger credits generally expire one year from the date of issuance.
TrueBlue® points are combined in one homogeneous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue is comprised of the points that were part of the air traffic liability balance at the beginning of the period as well as points that were issued during the period.

We have financed certain aircraft with Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates, or EETCs. One of the benefits of this structure is being able to finance several aircraft at one time, rather than individually. The structure of EETC financing is that we create pass-through trusts in order to issue pass-through certificates. The proceeds from the issuance of these certificates are then used to purchase equipment notes, which are issued by us and are secured by our aircraft. These trusts meet the definition of a variable interest entity, or VIE, as defined in the Consolidations topic of the Codification, and must be considered for consolidation in our financial statements. Our assessment of our EETCs considers both quantitative and qualitative factors including the purpose for which these trusts were established and the nature of the risks in each. The main purpose of the trust structure is to enhance the credit worthiness of our debt obligation through certain bankruptcy protection provisions and liquidity facilities, and also to lower our total borrowing cost. We concluded that we are not the primary beneficiary in these trusts because our involvement in them is limited to principal and interest payments on the related notes, the trusts were not set up to pass along variability created by credit risk to us, and the likelihood of our defaulting on the notes. Therefore, we have not consolidated these trusts in our financial statements.
Unsecured Consolidated Appropriations Act Payroll Support Program Extension Loan
On January 15, 2021, we entered into a Payroll Support Program Extension Agreement (the "PSP Extension Agreement") with the United States Department of the Treasury ("Treasury") governing our participation in the federal Payroll Support Program for passenger air carriers under the United States Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “Payroll Support Program 2"). During the six months ended June 30, 2021, Treasury provided us with total payments of $580 million (the "Payroll Support 2 Payments") under the program, consisting of $436 million in grants and $144 million in unsecured term loans, with funding received on January 15, 2021, March 5, 2021 and April 29, 2021. The loans have a 10-year term and bear interest on the principal amount outstanding at an annual rate of 1.00% until January 15, 2026, and the applicable Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 2.00% thereafter until January 15, 2031. In consideration for the Payroll Support 2 Payments, we issued warrants to purchase approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock to the Treasury at an exercise price of $14.43 per share. The warrants will expire five years after issuance and will be exercisable either through net cash settlement or net share settlement, at our option, in whole or in part at any time. In accordance with the PSP Extension Agreement, we are required to comply with the relevant provisions of the Payroll Support Program 2 which, among other things, includes the following: the requirement to use the Payroll Support 2 Payments exclusively for the continuation of payment of crewmember wages, salaries and benefits; the prohibition on involuntary furloughs and reductions in crewmember pay rates and benefits through March 31, 2021; the requirement that certain levels of commercial air service be maintained until March 1, 2022; the prohibitions on share repurchases and the payment of common stock dividends; and restrictions on the payment of certain executive compensation until October 1, 2022.
On April 29, 2021, Treasury provided us an Additional Payroll Support 2 Payment of $76 million, consisting of $53 million in grants and $23 million in an unsecured term loan under the PSP Extension Agreement. In consideration for the Additional Payroll Support 2 Payment, we issued warrants to Treasury to purchase approximately 0.2 million additional shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $14.43 per share. The terms of the unsecured term loan and additional warrants are identical to those issued in the first quarter of 2021 under the Payroll Support Program 2.
The carrying value relating to the payroll support extension grants were recorded within other accrued liabilities and were recognized as a contra-expense within special items on our consolidated statements of operations as the funds are utilized. The relative fair value of the warrants, estimated to be $9 million, were recorded within additional paid-in capital and reduced the total carrying value of the grants to $427 million. Proceeds from the payroll support extension grants and from the issuance of warrants were classified within operating activities and financing activities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Our funding from the payroll support extension grants received under Payroll Support Program 2 was fully utilized as of June 30, 2021.
The carrying value relating to the unsecured term loans is recorded within long-term debt and finance lease obligations on our consolidated balance sheets. The proceeds from the loans were classified as financing activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

In March 2021, we completed a private offering for $750 million of 0.50% convertible notes due 2026. The notes are general unsecured senior obligations and will rank equal in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and senior in right of payment to our existing and future subordinated debt. The notes will effectively rank junior in right of payment to any of our existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to all of our indebtedness and other liabilities. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $734 million.
Holders of the notes may convert them into shares of our common stock prior to January 1, 2026 only under certain circumstances (such as upon the satisfaction of the sale price condition, the satisfaction of the trading price condition, notice of redemption, or specified corporate events) and thereafter at any time at a rate of 38.5802 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which corresponds to an initial conversion price of approximately $25.92 per share. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including, but not limited to, the issuance of certain stock dividends on common stock, the issuance of certain rights or warrants, subdivisions, combinations, distributions of capital stock, indebtedness or assets, cash dividends and certain issuer tender or exchange offers.
Upon conversion, the notes will be settled in cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the notes to be converted and, at our election, in shares of our common stock, cash or a combination of cash and shares of our common stock in respect of the remainder, if any, of our conversion obligation.
We are not required to redeem or retire the notes periodically. We may, at our option, redeem any of the notes for cash at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest at any time on or after April 1, 2024 if the last reported sale price of our common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive), including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide notice of redemption, during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which we provide a notice of redemption to the holders.
As discussed in Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we early adopted the provisions of ASU 2020-06. Accordingly, we evaluated the conversion feature of this note offering for embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and the substantial premium model in accordance with ASC 470, Debt. Based on our assessment, separate accounting for the conversion feature of this note offering is not required.
Unsecured American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Payroll Support Program
On May 6, 2021, we entered into a Payroll Support 3 Agreement (the "PSP3 Agreement") with Treasury governing our participation in the federal payroll support program for passenger air carriers under Section 7301 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (the "Payroll Support Program 3"). In the second quarter of 2021, Treasury provided us with total payments of $541 million (the "Payroll Support 3 Payments") under the program, consisting of $409 million in grants (the "PSP3 grants") and $132 million in unsecured term loans (the "PSP3 loans") with funding received on May 6, 2021 and June 3, 2021. The PSP3 loans have a 10-year term and bear interest on the principal amount outstanding at an annual rate of 1.00% until May 6, 2026, and the applicable SOFR plus 2.00% thereafter until May 6, 2031. In consideration for the Payroll Support 3 Payments, we issued warrants (the "PSP3 warrants") to purchase approximately 0.7 million shares of our common stock to the Treasury at an exercise price of $19.90 per share. The PSP3 warrants will expire five years after issuance and will be exercisable either through net cash settlement or net share settlement, at our option, in whole or in part at any time.
The carrying value relating to the PSP3 grants are recorded within other accrued liabilities and are recognized as a contra-expense within special items on our consolidated statements of operations as the funds are utilized. The relative fair value of the warrants, estimated to be $5 million, are recorded within additional paid-in capital and reduced the total carrying value of the grants to $404 million. Proceeds from the PSP3 grants and from the issuance of PSP3 warrants are classified within operating activities and financing activities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. As of June 30, 2021, the carrying value of our PSP3 grants was approximately $186 million.
The carrying value relating to the PSP3 loans is recorded within long-term debt and finance lease obligations on our consolidated balance sheets. The proceeds from the loans are classified as financing activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.

(unaudited)

On June 17, 2020, we entered into a $750 million term loan credit facility with Barclays Bank PLC, as administrative agent (the "Term Loan"). The loans thereunder bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR (subject to a 1.00% floor), or at our election another rate, in each case, plus a specified margin. Our obligations were secured on a senior basis by airport takeoff and landing slots at LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, and Reagan National Airport and the right to use certain intellectual property assets comprising the JetBlue brand. Slots are rights to take-off or land at a specific airport during a specific time period during the day and a means by which airport capacity and congestion can be managed. The Term Loan is subject to amortization payments of 5% per year, payable quarterly, commencing on September 30, 2020 with the remaining balance due and payable in a single payment on the maturity date of June 17, 2024.
On June 17, 2021, the Company voluntarily repaid a portion of its outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan. On June 30, 2021, the Company repaid the full amount of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan, which, together with its repayment of June 17, 2021, totaled approximately $722 million, plus accrued interest and associated fees. As of June 30, 2021, all obligations under the Term Loan, including all pledges of collateral were terminated in full.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act
On March 27, 2020, Congress passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the "CARES Act"). Under the CARES Act, assistance was made available to the aviation industry in the form of direct payroll support (the "Payroll Support Program") and secured loans (the "Loan Program").
CARES Act Payroll Support Program
On April 23, 2020, we entered into a Payroll Support Program Agreement (the "PSP Agreement") under the CARES Act with the Treasury governing our participation in the Payroll Support Program. Under the Payroll Support Program, Treasury provided us with payments which totaled $963 million (the "Payroll Support Payments") consisting of $704 million in grants and $259 million in unsecured term loans, with payments received on April 23, 2020 and September 30, 2020. The loans have a 10-year term and bear interest on the principal amount outstanding at an annual rate of 1.00% until April 23, 2025, and the applicable SOFR plus 2.00% thereafter until April 23, 2030. The principal amount may be repaid at any time prior to maturity at par. As part of the agreement, JetBlue issued to the Treasury warrants to acquire more than 2.7 million shares of our common stock under the program at an exercise price of $9.50 per share. The warrants will expire five years after issuance and will be exercisable either through net cash settlement or net share settlement, at our option, in whole or in part at any time.
The carrying value relating to the payroll support grants was recorded within other accrued liabilities and was recognized as a contra-expense within special items on our consolidated statements of operations as the funds were utilized. The relative fair value of the warrants, estimated to be $19 million, was recorded within additional paid-in capital and reduced the total carrying value of the grants to $685 million. Proceeds from the payroll support grants and from the issuance of warrants were classified within operating activities and financing activities, respectively, on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Our funding from the payroll support grants under the CARES Act were fully utilized as of December 31, 2020.
The carrying value relating to the unsecured term loans is recorded within long-term debt and finance lease obligations on our consolidated balance sheets. The proceeds from the loans were classified as financing activities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Secured CARES Act Loan Program
Under the CARES Act Loan Program, JetBlue had the ability to borrow up to a total of approximately $1.9 billion from the Treasury. We entered into a loan and guarantee agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with the Treasury and made an initial drawing of $115 million under the CARES Act Loan Program on September 29, 2020. In connection with this initial drawing, we entered into a warrant agreement with Treasury, pursuant to which we issued to Treasury warrants to purchase approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.50 per share. The warrants will expire five years after issuance and will be exercisable either through net cash settlement or net share settlement, at our option, in whole or in part at any time.
Unless otherwise terminated early, all borrowings under the CARES Act Loan Program are due and payable on the fifth anniversary of the initial borrowing date. Borrowings bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR (or another rate based on certain market interest rates, plus a margin of 1% per annum, in each case with a floor of 0%), plus a margin of 2.75% per annum. Our obligations under the CARES Act Loan Program are secured by liens on (i) certain eligible aircraft and engine collateral and (ii) certain cash accounts (collectively, the "Collateral"). Under the terms of the CARES Act Loan Program, we

may also pledge eligible spare parts, slots, gates and routes, and additional aircraft, real property, ground support equipment, flight simulators and equity interests. The CARES Act Loan Program includes affirmative and negative covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things, dispose of Collateral, merge, consolidate or sell assets, incur certain additional indebtedness or pay certain dividends. In addition, we are required to maintain unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and unused commitments available under all revolving credit facilities aggregating not less than $550 million and to maintain a minimum ratio of the borrowing base of the Collateral (determined as the sum of a specified percentage of the appraised value of each type of Collateral) to outstanding obligations under the CARES Act Loan Program of not less than 1.6 to 1.0. If we do not meet the minimum collateral coverage ratio, we must either provide additional Collateral to secure our obligations under the CARES Act Loan Program or repay the loans by an amount necessary to maintain compliance with the collateral coverage ratio. The CARES Act Loan Program contains events of default customary for similar financings. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the outstanding obligations under the CARES Act Loan Program may be accelerated and become due and payable immediately. In addition, if certain change of control events occur with respect to JetBlue, we will be required to prepay the loans in full under the CARES Act Loan Program.
In May 2021, we notified the Treasury of our intent to forego our remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $1.8 billion and subsequently on June 2, 2021 the liens on certain eligible engines and certain loyalty program assets, including JetBlue's rights in certain loyalty program agreements, loyalty program data and intellectual property, were released from the Collateral.
As of June 30, 2021, $115 million remained outstanding under the Loan Agreement.
Fixed Rate Enhanced Equipment Notes
2020-1A and B Equipment Notes
In August 2020, we completed a public placement of equipment notes in an aggregate principal amount of $808 million secured by 24 Airbus A321 aircraft. The equipment notes were issued in two series: (i) Series A, bearing interest at the rate of 4.00% per annum in the aggregate principal amount equal to $636 million, and (ii) Series B, bearing interest at the rate of 7.75% per annum in the aggregate principal amount equal to $172 million. Principal and interest are payable semi-annually.
2019-1B Equipment Notes
In August 2020, we completed a public placement of equipment notes in an aggregate principal amount of $115 million bearing interest at a rate of 8.00% per annum. These equipment notes are secured by 25 Airbus A321 aircraft, which were included in the collateral pool of our 2019-1 Series AA and Series A offerings completed in November 2019. Principal and interest are payable semi-annually.
2020 Sale-Leaseback Transactions
In 2020, we executed $563 million of sale-leaseback transactions. Of these transactions, $354 million did not qualify as sales for accounting purposes. The assets associated with these transactions remain on our consolidated balance sheets within property and equipment and the related liabilities under the lease are classified within debt and finance leases obligations. These transactions are treated as cash from financing activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows. The remaining $209 million of sale-leaseback transactions qualified as sales and generated a loss of $106 million. The assets associated with these transactions which qualified as sales are recorded within operating lease assets. The liabilities are recorded within current operating lease liabilities and long-term operating lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. These transactions are treated as cash from investing activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows.
We did not execute any sale-leaseback transactions in the second quarter of 2021.
Citibank Revolving Credit Agreement
We have a revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement with Citibank N.A. as the administrative agent, for up to $550 million (the "Revolving Facility"). The term of the Revolving Facility runs through August 2023. Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR, plus a margin. The Revolving Facility is secured by aircraft, simulators, and certain other assets as permitted thereunder. The Revolving Facility includes covenants that require us to maintain certain minimum balances in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and unused commitments available under revolving credit facilities. In addition, the covenants restrict our ability to, among other things, dispose of certain collateral, or merge, consolidate, or sell assets.

We borrowed the full amount of $550 million under this revolving credit facility on April 22, 2020.
We repaid the full balance of this facility in the first quarter of 2021 and all the collateral securing the borrowings under the facility has been released. As of and for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, we did not have a balance outstanding or any borrowings under the Revolving Facility.
Short-term
Morgan Stanley Line of Credit
We have a revolving line of credit with Morgan Stanley for up to approximately $200 million. This line of credit is secured by a portion of our investment securities held by Morgan Stanley and the amount available to us under this line of credit may vary accordingly. This line of credit bears interest at a floating rate based upon LIBOR, plus a margin. As of and for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we did not have a balance outstanding or any borrowings under this line of credit.
Note 4—Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net (loss) income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from restricted stock units, the Crewmember Stock Purchase Plan, convertible notes, and any other potentially dilutive instruments using the treasury stock and if-converted methods. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share amounts were 1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Anti-dilutive common stock equivalents excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share amounts were 3.6 million and 1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively.
The following table shows how we computed basic and diluted earnings per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (dollars and share data in millions):

On February 24, 2020, JetBlue entered into an accelerated share repurchase agreement, or ASR, paying $160 million for an initial delivery of 6.6 million shares. The term of the ASR concluded on March 16, 2020 with a delivery of 4.9 million additional shares to JetBlue on March 18, 2020. A total of 11.5 million shares, at an average price of $13.91 per share, were repurchased under the agreement.
Our share repurchase program has been suspended since March 31, 2020.
Note 5—Crewmember Retirement Plan
We sponsor a retirement savings 401(k) defined contribution plan, or the Plan, covering all of our crewmembers where we match 100% of our crewmember contributions up to 5% of their eligible wages. The contributions vest over three years and are measured from a crewmember's hire date. Crewmembers are immediately vested in their voluntary contributions.

Another component of the Plan is a Company discretionary contribution of 5% of eligible non-management crewmember compensation, which we refer to as Retirement Plus. Retirement Plus contributions vest over three years and are measured from a crewmember's hire date.
Certain Federal Aviation Administration, or FAA, licensed crewmembers receive an additional contribution of 3% of eligible compensation, which we refer to as Retirement Advantage.
Our pilots receive a non-elective Company contribution of 16% of eligible pilot compensation per the terms of the collective bargaining agreement between JetBlue and the Air Line Pilots Association, or ALPA, in lieu of the above 401(k) Company matching contribution, Retirement Plus, and Retirement Advantage contributions. Refer to Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. The Company's non-elective contribution of 16% of eligible pilot compensation vests after three years of service.
Our non-management crewmembers are eligible to receive profit sharing, calculated as 10% of adjusted pre-tax income before profit sharing and special items up to a pre-tax margin of 18% with the result reduced by Retirement Plus contributions and the equivalent of Retirement Plus contributions for pilots. If JetBlue's resulting pre-tax margin exceeds 18%, non-management crewmembers will receive 20% profit sharing on amounts above an 18% pre-tax margin.
Total 401(k) company match, Retirement Plus, Retirement Advantage, pilot retirement contribution, and profit sharing expensed for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was $100 million and $92 million, respectively.
Note 6—Commitments and Contingencies
Flight Equipment Commitments
As of June 30, 2021, our firm aircraft orders consisted of 65 Airbus A321neo aircraft and 67 Airbus A220 aircraft, scheduled for delivery through 2027. Committed expenditures for these aircraft and related flight equipment, including estimated amounts for contractual price escalations and predelivery deposits as of June 30, 2021 is approximately $0.4 billion for the remainder of 2021, $0.8 billion in 2022, $1.6 billion in 2023, $1.8 billion in 2024, $1.2 billion in 2025, and $1.6 billion thereafter.
In October 2019, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced a 10% tariff on new commercial aircraft and related parts imported from certain European Union member states, which include aircraft and other parts we are already contractually obligated to purchase, including those noted above. The U.S. Trade Representative increased the tariff to 15% effective March 2020. In March 2021, the U.S. Trade Representative announced a four-month suspension of the tariff that was followed by an announcement in June 2021 that the suspension will be extended for five years. We continue to work with our business partners, including Airbus, to evaluate the potential financial and operational impact on our future aircraft deliveries, including after the suspension is lifted. The continued imposition of the tariff could substantially increase the cost of new Airbus aircraft and parts.
Other Commitments
We utilize several credit card processors to process our ticket sales. Our agreements with these processors do not contain covenants, but do generally allow the processor to withhold cash reserves to protect the processor from potential liability for tickets purchased, but not yet used for travel. While we currently do not have any collateral requirements related to our credit card processors, we may be required to issue collateral to our credit card processors, or other key business partners, in the future.
As of June 30, 2021, we had approximately $26 million in assets serving as collateral for letters of credit relating to a certain number of our leases. These are included in restricted cash and expire at the end of the related lease terms. Additionally, we had approximately $26 million pledged related to our workers' compensation insurance policies and other business partner agreements, which will expire according to the terms of the related policies or agreements.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, we reached an Agreement in Principle with ALPA to avoid involuntary furloughs of our pilots through at least October 1, 2021 in exchange for short-term changes to the collective bargaining agreement.

In April 2018, JetBlue inflight crewmembers elected to be solely represented by the Transport Workers Union of America, or TWU. The National Mediation Board, or NMB, certified the TWU as the representative body for JetBlue inflight crewmembers. In November 2020, our inflight crewmembers voted to reject the tentative collective bargaining agreement between JetBlue and the TWU. The parties have re-engaged in negotiations for a collective bargaining agreement.
Except as noted above, our crewmembers do not have third party representation.
Legal Matters
Occasionally, we are involved in various claims, lawsuits, regulatory examinations, investigations and other legal matters involving suppliers, crewmembers, customers, and governmental agencies, arising, for the most part, in the ordinary course of business. The outcome of litigation and other legal matters is always uncertain. The Company believes it has valid defenses to the legal matters currently pending against it, is defending itself vigorously, and has recorded accruals determined in accordance with GAAP, where appropriate. In making a determination regarding accruals, using available information, we evaluate the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to which we are a party and record a loss contingency when it is probable a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These subjective determinations are based on the status of such legal or regulatory proceedings, the merits of our defenses, and consultation with legal counsel. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from our current estimates. It is possible that resolution of one or more of the legal matters currently pending or threatened could result in losses material to our consolidated results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.
To date, none of these types of litigation matters, most of which are typically covered by insurance, has had a material impact on our operations or financial condition. We have insured and continue to insure against most of these types of claims. A judgment on any claim not covered by, or in excess of, our insurance coverage could materially adversely affect our consolidated results of operations, liquidity, or financial condition.
Note 7—Financial Derivative Instruments and Risk Management
As part of our risk management strategy, we periodically purchase over the counter energy derivative instruments and enter into fixed forward price agreements, or FFPs, to manage our exposure to the effect of changes in the price of jet fuel. Prices for the underlying commodities have historically been highly correlated to jet fuel, making derivatives of them effective at providing short-term protection against volatility in average fuel prices. We also periodically enter into jet fuel basis swaps for the differential between heating oil and jet fuel, to further limit the variability in fuel prices at various locations. We do not hold or issue any derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Aircraft Fuel Derivatives
We attempt to obtain cash flow hedge accounting treatment for each fuel derivative that we enter into. This treatment is provided for under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging which allows for gains and losses on qualifying hedges to be deferred until the underlying planned jet fuel consumption occurs, rather than recognizing the gains and losses on these instruments into earnings during each period they are outstanding. When the underlying jet fuel is consumed and the related derivative contract settles, any gain or loss previously recorded in other comprehensive income is recognized in aircraft fuel expense. If a hedge does not qualify for hedge accounting, the periodic changes in its fair value are recognized in interest income and other. All cash flows related to our fuel hedging derivatives are classified as operating cash flows.
Our current approach to fuel hedging is to enter into hedges on a discretionary basis without a specific target of hedge percentage needs. We view our hedge portfolio as a form of insurance to help mitigate the impact of price volatility and protect us against severe spikes in oil prices, when possible.
We did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
The table below reflects quantitative information related to our derivative instruments and where these amounts are recorded in our financial statements (dollar amounts in millions):

Any outstanding derivative instrument exposes us to credit loss in connection with our fuel contracts in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements, but we do not expect that any of our counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. The amount of such credit exposure is generally the fair value of our outstanding contracts for which we are in a receivable position. To manage credit risks we select counterparties based on credit assessments, limit our overall exposure to any single counterparty, and monitor the market position with each counterparty. Some of our agreements require cash deposits from either JetBlue or our counterparty if market risk exposure exceeds a specified threshold amount.
We have master netting arrangements with our counterparties allowing us the right of offset to mitigate credit risk in derivative transactions. The financial derivative instrument agreements we have with our counterparties may require us to fund all, or a portion of, outstanding loss positions related to these contracts prior to their scheduled maturities. The amount of collateral posted, if any, is periodically adjusted based on the fair value of the hedge contracts. Our policy is to offset the liabilities represented by these contracts with any cash collateral paid to the counterparties.
There were no offsetting derivative instruments as of June 30, 2021 or December 31, 2020.
Note 8—Fair Value
Under the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures topic of the Codification, disclosures are required about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped is established, based on significant levels of inputs as follows:
Level 1 - observable inputs such as unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, and other inputs that are observable directly or indirectly for the asset or liability; or
Level 3 - unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, such as discounted cash flow models or valuations.
The determination of where assets and liabilities fall within this hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following is a listing of our assets and liabilities required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis and where they are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in millions):

Cash equivalents
Our cash equivalents include money market securities and time deposits which are readily convertible into cash, have maturities of three months or less when purchased, and are considered to be highly liquid and easily tradable. The money market securities are valued using inputs observable in active markets for identical securities and are therefore classified as Level 1 within our fair value hierarchy. The fair values of remaining instruments are based on observable inputs in non-active markets, which are therefore classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy.
Available-for-sale investment securities
Our available-for-sale investment securities include investments such as time deposits and convertible debt securities. The fair values of these instruments are based on observable inputs in non-active markets, which are therefore classified as Level 2 in the hierarchy. We did not record any material gains or losses on these securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

—  —  —  202 
Total $ (366) $ (304) $ (655) $ (102)
(1) As discussed in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, we are participants in Payroll Support Program 2 and Payroll Support Program 3, both of which are federal support programs for air carriers (the "Programs"). In the six months ended June 30, 2021, Treasury provided us with payroll support funding totaling $1.1 billion, consisting of $845 million in grants and $276 million in unsecured term loans under the Programs. The payroll support funds under these Programs are to be used exclusively for the continuation of payment of crewmember wages, salaries and benefits. The carrying values of the payroll support grants are recorded within other liabilities and will be recognized as contra-expenses within special items on our consolidated statements of operations as the funds are utilized. We utilized $357 million and $644 million of the payroll support grants under the Programs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
(2) The Employee Retention Credit ("ERC") under the CARES Act is a refundable tax credit which encourages businesses to keep employees on the payroll during the COVID-19 pandemic. Eligible employers can qualify for up to $5,000 of credit for each employee based on qualified wages paid after March 12, 2020 and before January 1, 2021. Qualified wages are the wages paid to an employee for the time that the employee is not providing services due to an economic hardship, specifically, either (1) a full or partial suspension of operations by order of a governmental authority due to COVID-19, or (2) a significant decline in gross receipts. Our policy is to recognize the ERC when it is filed with the Internal Revenue Service. We recognized $9 million and $11 million of ERC as a contra-expense within special items on our consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
(3) Under the Property, Plant, and Equipment topic of the Codification, we are required to assess long-lived assets for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired. An impairment of long-lived assets exists when the sum of the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated directly by the assets are less than the book value of the assets. Our long-lived assets include both owned and leased properties which are classified as property and equipment, and operating lease assets on our consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
Our operations were adversely impacted by the unprecedented decline in demand for travel caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. To determine if impairment exists in our fleet, we grouped our aircraft by fleet-type and estimated their future cash flows based on projections of capacity, aircraft age, maintenance requirements, and other relevant conditions. Based on the assessment, we determined the future cash flows from the operation of our Embraer E190 fleet were lower than the carrying value. For those aircraft, including the ones that are under operating lease, and related spare parts in our Embraer E190 fleet, we recorded an impairment loss of $0 and $202 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. These losses represent the difference between the book value of these assets and their fair value. We estimated the fair value of our Embraer E190 fleet using third party valuations and considered specific circumstances such as aircraft age, maintenance requirements and condition, and therefore classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. We evaluated the remaining fleet and determined the future cash flows of our Airbus A320 and Airbus A321 fleet exceeded their carrying value as of June 30, 2021.
No impairment loss was recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021.
As the extent of the ongoing impact from the COVID-19 pandemic remains uncertain, we will update our assessment as new information becomes available.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to have a significant impact on our operating revenues and financial position. We began seeing signs of recovery in February 2021 that continued to progress throughout the second quarter of 2021. The length and severity of the reduction in travel demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, but with increasing vaccination rates, reductions in infection rates related to new COVID-19 variants and easing of travel advisories and restrictions, we believe customer confidence will continue to grow, leading to increased demand throughout the summer of 2021. We expect widespread vaccinations to result in sustained demand improvement going forward, with recovery of domestic demand preceding the recovery of international demand in most regions. If consumer confidence and demand for air travel returns, we expect to return to 2019 capacity levels in the second half of 2021.
Second Quarter 2021 Results
Our second quarter 2020 results were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the comparisons to 2020 are inflated and are not necessarily indicative of future operating results. In certain cases we have also provided comparisons of our second quarter 2021 results to our second quarter 2019 results which is more reflective of pre-pandemic operations.
Second quarter system capacity increased by 465.6% year-over-year and decreased by (14.9)% versus the second quarter of 2019.
Revenue for the second quarter of 2021 increased by $1,284 million to $1,499 million and decreased by (28.8)% versus the second quarter of 2019.
Operating revenue per available seat mile (RASM) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 23.4% to 10.99 cents.
Operating expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 116.3% to 1,352 million and decreased by (27.2)% versus the second quarter of 2019.
Operating expense per available seat mile (CASM) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 decreased by (61.7)% to 9.91 cents.
Our operating expense for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 included the effects of special items. In the second quarter of 2021, we recognized $357 million of contra-expense representing the amount of federal payroll support extension grants provided by the payroll support programs, that were utilized during the period, and $9 million of contra-expense related to the recognition of Employee Retention Credits provided by the CARES Act. Our operating expense for the second quarter of 2020 included $304 million of payroll support grants under the CARES act as a contra-expense within special items on our consolidated statement of operations. Excluding fuel and related taxes, special items, as well as operating expenses related to our non-airline businesses, our operating expense increased by 53.7% to $1,371 million.
Excluding fuel and related taxes, special items, as well as operating expenses related to our non-airline businesses, our cost per available seat mile (CASM ex-fuel)(1) decreased by (72.8)% to 10.05 cents for the second quarter of 2021.
Our reported earnings (loss) per share for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 were $0.20 and $(1.18), respectively. Excluding special items, our adjusted loss per share(1) for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 were $(0.65) and $(2.02), respectively.
Since February 2021, we have seen a meaningful rebound in the demand for leisure travel. We are encouraged by the improving booking trends, and believe the ongoing acceleration in demand will continue throughout the summer, subject to the increase in vaccination rates, reductions in COVID-19 infection rates, including those associated with new variants, and easing of travel restrictions. We expect to increase capacity in response to the level of demand. We have taken a number of steps to position ourselves for recovery when demand for air travel returns to pre-pandemic levels.
Network
In February 2021, we added service to Miami and Key West which further expanded our relevance in South Florida.
In April 2021, we operated our inaugural flight between New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport ("JFK") to Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport, making us the only airline that offers daily service between New York City and Guatemala's capital city.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
In June 2021, we launched daily service to Los Cabos, Mexico from JFK and Los Angeles International Airport.
In July 2021, we launched services to Kalispell/Glacier Park International Airport in Montana with up to three weekly flights from JFK and launched service to Boise Airport in Idaho from JFK with up to four weekly flights.
We also anticipate launching service from JFK to London Heathrow in August 2021 and London Gatwick in September 2021. Service from Boston’s Logan International Airport to London will launch in summer 2022. London will be our first destination in Europe.
Commercial Partnerships
We continue to develop our strategic relationship with American Airlines Group Inc. ("American"). In February 2021, we began codeshare operations under our alliance agreement on select flights.
Enabled by our alliance with American, in April 2021, we announced our plans to add seven new destinations between late 2021 and 2022 to our route map. We also announced significant growth plans at New York's LaGuardia Airport ("LGA") where we plan to launch 40 new routes in the coming months, many enabled by the Northeast Alliance; doubling our presence in LGA by the end of 2021.
We believe our partnership with American will create more capacity, seamless connectivity for travelers in the northeast, and offer more choices for customers across the networks of both airlines. By leveraging our Northeast Alliance with American, we look to re-build business market frequencies ahead of an expected business travel recovery in the fall. In addition, we expect this relationship will also accelerate our recovery as the travel industry adapts to new trends as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Fleet
We took delivery of six aircraft in the second quarter of 2021 and paid for each delivery with cash on hand.
In connection with our plans to begin service to London, we took delivery of our first two Airbus A321LR aircraft, the long range model of the Airbus A321, in the second quarter.
Given the new growth opportunities being provided by our Northeast alliance, we are re-examining our Fleet to ensure we are well equipped to capitalize fully on current and near term conditions. We have a plan to delay our retirement schedule for our owned E190s which offers a constructive way to profitably grow in the Northeast while protecting the balance sheet. We will of course remain flexible with our fleet to align with the demand environment.
Also in the second quarter, we placed our first two Airbus A220 aircraft into service. We believe the economics of the Airbus A220 aircraft, which have approximately 30% lower direct cost per seat as compared to our Embraer E190 fleet, will be pivotal in helping us reshape our cost structure and rebuild our margin as we begin to recover from the pandemic.
Additionally we placed two new Airbus A321neo aircraft into service which will help reduce C02 emissions with improved fuel economy through newly designed engine technology and cabin changes.
Customer Experience
In February 2021, we unveiled a reimagined version of our Mint® experience, our premium product offering. The new service includes a completely refreshed cabin design featuring private suites with a sliding door for every Mint® customer. Each Mint® aircraft will also include two Mint® Studio suites which offer the most space in a premium experience from any U.S. airline based on personal square footage per passenger seat. We debuted this new premium service with a 16-seat individual

suite layout in June on a limited number of flights between New York and Los Angeles in 2021. For our anticipated transatlantic flights to London, the new Mint® experience will include 24 individual suites.
We also updated our Fare Options platform giving our customers more choices and flexibility by eliminating change and cancel fees on our Blue, Blue Extra, Blue Plus, and Mint® fares. Beginning in July 2021, customers who purchased these fares on our domestic flights will also be guaranteed overhead bin space for one carry-on bag.
In March 2021, we introduced Paisley by JetBlue ("Paisley"), a new travel website that leverages smart technology to provide individually tailored offers our customers based on their itinerary. We believe Paisley will add breadth to our product offerings, learn more about our customers' preferences, and contribute to future earnings growth.
Outlook for 2021
As we continue to navigate through the pandemic, we are optimistic about the future. Based on our current planning assumptions, we expect capacity for the third quarter of 2021 to be flat to down three percent as compared to the same period in 2019.
Revenue is expected to decline between 4% and 9% in the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2019. We expect the demand acceleration which began in February 2021 to continue as larger portions of the U.S. population become vaccinated against COVID-19 and travel advisories and restrictions begin to ease. We are closely monitoring the latest news with respect to the COVID variants and the potential impact that continued spread of these variants could have on the demand for air travel.
We presently expect third quarter 2021 operating expenses to increase by approximately 11-13% as compared to the same period in 2019. We plan to continue managing our cost structure, while mitigating near term cost pressures from higher fuel prices, airport rents and landing fees, and labor costs as we ramp up our operations if we begin to see a return of capacity back to pre-pandemic levels.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Overview
We reported a net income of $64 million, operating income of $147 million and an operating margin of 9.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This compares to a net loss of $320 million, an operating loss of $410 million and an operating margin of (190.8)% for the three months ended June 30, 2020. Earnings per share were $0.20 for the second quarter of 2021 and $(1.18) of loss per diluted share for the same period in 2020.
Our reported results for the second quarter of 2021 and 2020 included the effects of special items. Adjusting for these special items(1), our adjusted net loss was $(206) million, adjusted operating loss was $(219), adjusted operating margin was (14.6)%, and adjusted loss per share was $(0.65) for the second quarter of 2021. This compares to adjusted net loss of $(548) million, adjusted operating loss of $(714) million, adjusted operating margin was (332.6)%, and adjusted diluted loss per share of $(2.02) for the second quarter of 2020.
On-time performance, as defined by the Department of Transportation, or DOT, is arrival within 14 minutes of scheduled arrival time. In the second quarter of 2021, our systemwide on-time performance was 73.8% compared to 92.9% for the same
period in 2020. Our completion factor increased by 13.3% points to 99.2% in the second quarter of 2021 from 85.9% in the same period in 2020.

pandemic. We expect our fuel consumption to gradually increase in 2021 as we continue to recover from the pandemic and add capacity back into the system.
Salaries, Wages and Benefits
Salaries, wages and benefits increased $100 million, or 20.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, driven primarily by the increase in demand for travel driving up total hours worked by our crewmembers. Beginning in March 2020, we instituted a company-wide hiring freeze, implemented salary and wage reductions of 20% to 50% for our officers, and reduced work hours for all other management workgroups.
Landing Fees and Other Rents
Landing fees and other rents increased $112 million, or 180.7%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to increases in rates as well as increases in customers and departures. We currently expect rents and landing fees to continue to increase into 2022 due to increased rates and a higher volume of flights.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $(7) million, or (4.9)%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Beginning in June 2020, we entered into sale-leaseback transactions for our aircraft resulting in a decline in depreciation expense. This decline in expense was essentially offset by an increase in aircraft rent as we converted owned aircraft into leased aircraft.
Aircraft Rent
Aircraft rent increased $10 million, or 63.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. Beginning in June 2020, we entered into sale-leaseback transactions for some of our aircraft resulting in an increase in aircraft rent.

Sales and marketing increased $39 million, or 508.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same
period in 2020 driven by an increase in sales in the period due to an increase in demand for travel.
Maintenance Materials and Repairs
Maintenance materials and repairs increased $91 million, or 122.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily driven by an increase in maintenance deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2020, we had approximately 115 aircraft parked.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses consist of the following categories: outside services (including expenses related to fueling, ground handling, skycap, security, and janitorial services), insurance, personnel expenses, professional fees, onboard supplies, shop and office supplies, bad debts, communication costs, and taxes other than payroll and fuel taxes.
Other operating expenses increased $137 million, or 110.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to an increase in demand to fly as we begin to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We continue to focus on driving efficiencies and productivity across our business. We expect the benefits from the run-rate savings associated with our Structural Cost Program to continue.
Special Items
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, special items included a contra-expense of $357 million which represents the amount of payroll support grants utilized during the period. In addition, special items included a contra-expense of $9 million related to the recognition of Employee Retention Credits provided by the CARES act.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 vs. 2020
Overview
We reported a net loss of $183 million, an operating loss of $147 million and an operating margin of (6.6)% for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This compares to a net loss of $588 million, an operating loss of $744 million and an operating margin of (41.3)% for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Loss per share was $(0.58) for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to loss per share of $(2.14) for the same period in 2020.
Our reported results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 included the effects of special items. Adjusting for these special items(1), our adjusted net loss was $665 million, adjusted operating loss was $802 million, adjusted operating margin was (35.9)%, and adjusted loss per share was $(2.10) for the six months ended June 30, 2021. This compares to adjusted net loss of $664 million, adjusted operating loss of $846 million, adjusted operating margin of (46.9)%, and adjusted loss per share of $(2.42) for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

$ 3,034  $ 2,649  $ 385  14.5  % 13.34  15.31  (12.9) %
Aircraft Fuel and Related Taxes
Aircraft fuel and related taxes increased by $136 million, or 34.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. The average fuel price for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 5.8% to $1.84 per gallon. Our fuel consumption increased by 27.0%, or 61 million gallons, due to capacity increases as demand for travel grew. We expect our fuel consumption to gradually increase in 2021 as we continue to recover from the pandemic and add capacity back into the system.
Salaries, Wages and Benefits
Salaries, wages and benefits increased by $20 million, or 1.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, driven primarily by the increase in demand for travel driving up total hours worked by our crewmembers. In the comparison period, beginning in March 2020, we instituted a company-wide hiring freeze, implemented salary reductions of 20% to 50% for our officers, and reduced work hours for all other management workgroups. As of June 30, 2021, we have approximately 20,000 crewmembers compared to approximately 21,500 crewmembers at June 30, 2020.
Landing Fees and Other Rents
Landing fees and other rents increased by $115 million, or 66.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 primarily due to increases in rates, customers, and departures as demand for travel increases.
We expect cost pressures in landing fees and other rents due to increases in rates at the airports we serve, coupled with an increase in the number of departures as we ramp up our operations.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $21 million, or 7.6%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. This decrease was primarily attributed to the impairment of our E190 fleet and related spare parts in 2020. In addition, we also executed a number of sale-leaseback transactions towards the second half of 2020, the majority of which qualified as sales for accounting purposes. As a result of these sales, we no longer record depreciation expense on the assets. The costs associated with leasing these assets back from the purchaser are included in Aircraft Rent on our consolidated statements of operations.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The decreases described above were partially offset by additional depreciation expenses related to four new aircraft that were placed into service since June 30, 2020. The average number of aircraft increased by 2.8% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020.
Aircraft Rent
Aircraft rent increased $13 million, or 35.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020. As discussed above, we executed a number of sale-leaseback transactions towards the second half of 2020, the majority of which qualified as sales for accounting purposes. The assets associated with these transactions which qualified as sales are recorded within operating lease assets and rent expenses are recognized throughout the life of the related lease terms.
Sales and Marketing
Sales and marketing increased $10 million, or 15.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 driven by higher credit card fees and computer reservation system charges which are directly related to demand increases as we recover from the pandemic.
Maintenance Materials and Repairs
Maintenance materials and repairs increased $35 million, or 14.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020, primarily driven by an increase in maintenance events. During 2020, we parked aircraft and deferred non-essential maintenance expenditures to conserve cash.
We expect expenses relating to maintenance, materials, and repairs to increase throughout 2021.
Other Operating Expenses
Other operating expenses consist of the following categories: outside services (including expenses related to fueling, ground handling, skycap, security, and janitorial services), insurance, personnel expenses, professional fees, onboard supplies, shop and office supplies, bad debts, communication costs, and taxes other than payroll and fuel taxes.
Other operating expenses increased $77 million, or 19.7%, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period in 2020 due to capacity increases in response to the increase in demand as we recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Special Items
Special items for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included the following:
Contra-expense of $(644) million, which represents the amount of federal payroll support grants utilized during the period; and
Contra-expenses of $(11) million related to the recognition of Employee Retention Credits provided by the CARES Act.
For the six months ended June 30, 2020, special items include a contra-expense of $304 million which represents the amount of CARES Act payroll support grants utilized during the period, and the impairment charge of $202 million on our Embraer E190 fleet.

Historical trends may not continue. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause disruptions in our operations during the three months ended June 30, 2021. We expect our operating results to significantly fluctuate from quarter-to-quarter in the future due to the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on the economy and consumer behavior, and various other factors which are outside of our control. Consequently, we believe quarter-to-quarter comparisons of our operating results may not necessarily be meaningful; you should not rely on our results for any one quarter as an indication of our future performance.

LONG-TERM DEBT AND FINANCE LEASE OBLIGATIONS 3,998  4,413  (415) (9.4) %
Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $491 million, or 25.6%, primarily related to $1.6 billion cash from operations, including $1.1 billion funds related to the various PSP programs. Our cash portion at June 30, 2021 also benefited from the initial cash payments associated with our new Co-Branded Credit Card agreement.The increase to cash was offset by $1.4 billion of debt principal repayments.
Investment securities
Investment securities increased by $182 million, or 16.0%, primarily driven by an increase in time deposits.
Receivables, less allowance
Receivables increased by $178 million, as a result of improvements in demand which led to an increase in receivables from our credit card processors.
Flight equipment
Flight equipment increased by $537 million, or 5.2%, principally driven by aircraft capital expenditures made in the first half of 2021. Additional information related to our aircraft capital expenditures are provided within our discussion of investing activities under the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section below.
Air traffic liability
Air traffic liability increased by $758 million, or 67.5%, driven by the improvements in demand as customers begin to gain confidence to travel and resumed booking travel further in advance. The cash collected from customers for future travel is recorded on our balance sheet until the point in time that the customer travels.
Other accrued liabilities
Other accrued liabilities increased by $369 million, or 171.7%, primarily as a result of the unused portion of our payroll support extension grants received under the Consolidated Appropriations Act.
As discussed in Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements, on January 15, 2021, we entered into a PSP Extension Agreement with the Treasury governing our participation in the Payroll Support Program 2. In the first half of 2021, Treasury provided us with Payroll Support 2 Payments totaling $580 million. These payments consist of $436 million in grants and $144 million in unsecured term loans. In consideration for the Payroll Support 2 Payments, we issued warrants to Treasury to purchase approximately 1.0 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $14.43 per share.
On May 6, 2021, we entered into a Payroll Support 3 Agreement with Treasury governing our participation in the federal

payroll support program for passenger air carriers under Section 7301 of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. In the second quarter of 2021, Treasury provided us with total payments of $541 million under the program, consisting of $409 million in grants and $132 million in unsecured term loans. In consideration for the Payroll Support 3 Payments, we issued warrants to purchase approximately 0.7 million shares of our common stock to the Treasury at an exercise price of $19.90 per share.
Long-term debt and finance lease obligations
Long-term debt and finance lease obligations decreased by $(415) million, or (9.4)%. In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the issuance of our 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026 in the amount of $750 million and also received $276 million in unsecured term loans under the Payroll Support Program 2. These increases were partially offset by $768 million of principal payments on our debt and finance lease obligations and $722 million repayment of outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan. As the business continues to recover we will continue to look for opportunities to reduce our overall level of debt.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The airline business is capital intensive. Our ability to successfully execute our growth plans is largely dependent on the continued availability of capital on attractive terms. In addition, our ability to successfully operate our business depends on maintaining sufficient liquidity. We believe we have adequate resources from a combination of cash and cash equivalents, investment securities on hand, and available lines of credit. Additionally, our unencumbered assets could be an additional source of liquidity, if necessary.
We believe a healthy liquidity position is a crucial element of our ability to weather any part of the economic cycle while continuing to execute on our plans for profitable growth and increased returns. Our goal is to continue to be diligent with our liquidity and maintain financial flexibility.
At June 30, 2021, we had cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of approximately $3.7 billion. Our business and operating results for 2021 continue to be impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and we expect to maintain an elevated level of cash on hand as we navigate through 2021..
Analysis of Cash Flows
Operating Activities
We rely primarily on operating cash flows to provide working capital for current and future operations. Cash flows from operating activities were $1,658 million and $223 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Lower losses, principally driven by lower operating expenses coupled with federal payroll support extension grants received under the Consolidated Appropriations Act and the initial cash payments associated with our new Co-Branded Credit Card Agreement all contributed to the increase in operating cash flows.
Investing Activities
Investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 included $340 million in proceeds from maturities of investment securities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, capital expenditures related to our purchase of flight equipment included $340 million related to the purchase of seven Airbus A321neo aircraft and spare engines, $59 million related to the purchase of two A220 aircraft and spare engines $27 million for spare part purchases, $57 million in work-in-progress relating to flight equipment, and $16 million for flight equipment deposits. Other property and equipment capital expenditures also included ground equipment purchases and facilities improvements for $41 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, capital expenditures related to our purchase of flight equipment included $200 million related to the purchase of three Airbus A321neo aircraft, one Airbus A321 lease buyout, the purchase of several spare engines, $104 million in work-in-progress relating to flight equipment, $7 million for spare part purchases, and $57 million for flight equipment deposits. Other property and equipment capital expenditures also included ground equipment purchases and facilities improvements for $66 million. Investing activities also included the net proceeds from investment securities of $29 million.

Financing Activities
Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 primarily consisted of the following:
Net proceeds of $734 million from the issuance of our 0.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2026; and
Net proceeds of $276 million and $14 million from the issuances of unsecured term loans and warrants, respectively, in connection with the Payroll Support Program 2 and Payroll Support Program 3 under the Consolidated Appropriations Act.
These proceeds were more than offset by principal payments of $1.5 billion on our outstanding debt and finance lease obligations, $550 million of which were associated with the payoff of our revolving Credit and Guaranty Agreement.
Financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2020 primarily consisted of the following:
$981 million in net proceeds from the drawdown of our 364-day term loan facility;
$717 million from our term loan facility with Barclays Bank PLC as administrative agent
$550 million from our revolving credit facility with Citibank N.A as administrative agent
Proceeds of $251 million and $18 million from the issuance of unsecured term loan and warrants, respectively, in connection with the Payroll Support Program under the CARES Act;
$118 million of sale-leaseback transactions; and
$22 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to our crewmember stock purchase plan
CARES Act Loan Program
Under the CARES Act Loan Program as signed in September 2020 and subsequently amended in November 2020, we had the ability to borrow up to a total of approximately $1.9 billion from the Treasury. If we accepted the full amount of the loan, we would have issued warrants to purchase approximately 20.5 million shares of our common stock to the Treasury. Any amount received under the CARES Act Loan Program would have been subject to the relevant provisions of the CARES Act, including many of those governing the Payroll Support Program.
We made an initial drawing of $115 million under the CARES Act Loan Program on September 29, 2020. In connection with this initial drawing, we entered into a warrant agreement with Treasury, pursuant to which we issued to Treasury warrants to purchase approximately 1.2 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $9.50 per share.
On January 15, 2021, we entered into a letter agreement with Treasury which provided an extension of the Loan Agreement allowing us the option to access the remaining borrowing capacity through May 28, 2021. In May 2021, we notified the Treasury of our intent to forego our remaining approximately $1.8 billion borrowing capacity and subsequently on June 2, 2021 the liens on certain eligible engines and certain loyalty program assets, including JetBlue's rights in certain loyalty program agreements, loyalty program data and intellectual property, were released from the collateral package.
As of June 30, 2021, $115 million of the borrowings under the CARES Act loan remained outstanding.
In March 2019, we filed an automatic shelf registration statement with the SEC. Under this shelf registration statement, we may offer and sell from time to time common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts, stock purchase units, subscription rights, and pass-through certificates. We may utilize this shelf registration statement, or a replacement filed with the SEC, in the future to raise capital to fund the continued development of our products and services, the commercialization of our products and services, to repay indebtedness, or for other general corporate purposes. The warrants issued in connection with the various federal government support programs were made, and any issuances of our underlying common stock are expected to be made, in reliance on the exemption from the registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for transactions not involving a public offering.
Working Capital
We had working capital of $223 million at June 30, 2021 compared to $671 million at December 31, 2020. Our working capital decreased by $448 million due to several factors, including an overall increase in our air traffic liability which was attributed to the increase in customer bookings as demand for air travel begins to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic.
We expect to meet our obligations as they become due through available cash, investment securities, and internally generated funds, supplemented, as necessary, by financing activities and government assistance, which may be available to us.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We expect to generate positive working capital through our operations. However, we cannot predict what the effect on our business might be from future developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the effectiveness of the available vaccines and the associated distribution, and its impact on the economy and consumer behavior, the extremely competitive environment in which we operate, or from events beyond our control, such as volatile fuel prices, economic conditions, weather-related disruptions, airport infrastructure challenges, the spread of infectious diseases, the impact of other airline bankruptcies, restructurings or consolidations, U.S. military actions, or acts of terrorism.

As of June 30, 2021, we are in compliance with the covenants of our debt and lease agreements. We have approximately $26 million of restricted cash pledged under standby letters of credit related to certain leases that will expire at the end of the related lease terms.
As of June 30, 2021, we operated a fleet of 130 Airbus A320 aircraft, 63 Airbus A321 aircraft, 20 Airbus A321neo aircraft, three Airbus A220 aircraft, and 60 Embraer E190 aircraft. Of our fleet, 210 are owned by us, 62 are leased under operating leases, and four are leased under finance leases. Our owned aircraft include aircraft associated with sale-leaseback transactions that did not qualify as sales for accounting purposes. As of June 30, 2021, the average age of our operating fleet was 11.5 years.
Our aircraft order book as of June 30, 2021 is as follows:

Expenditures for our aircraft and spare engines include estimated amounts for contractual price escalations and predelivery deposits. We expect to meet our predelivery deposit requirements for our aircraft by paying cash or by using short-term borrowing facilities for deposits required six to 24 months prior to delivery. Any predelivery deposits paid by the issuance of notes are fully repaid at the time of delivery of the related aircraft.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Depending on market conditions, we anticipate using a mix of cash and debt financing for aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2021. For deliveries after 2021, although we believe debt and/or lease financing should be available to us, we cannot give any assurance that we will be able to secure financing on attractive terms, if at all. While these financings may or may not result in an increase in liabilities on our balance sheet, we expect our fixed costs to increase regardless of the financing method ultimately chosen. To the extent we cannot secure financing on terms we deem attractive, we may be required to pay in cash, further modify our aircraft acquisition plans, or incur higher than anticipated financing costs.
In October 2019, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative announced a 10% tariff on new commercial aircraft and related parts imported from certain European Union member states, which include aircraft and other parts we are already contractually obligated to purchase, including those noted above. The U.S. Trade Representative increased the tariff to 15% effective in March 2020. In March 2021, the U.S. Trade Representative announced a four-month suspension of the tariff which was followed by an announcement in June 2021 that the suspension will be extended for five years. We continue to work with our business partners, including Airbus, to evaluate the potential financial and operational impact on our future aircraft deliveries, including once the suspension is lifted. The continued imposition of the tariff could substantially increase the cost of new Airbus aircraft and parts.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Although some of our aircraft lease arrangements are with variable interest entities, as defined by the Consolidations topic of the Codification, none of them require consolidation in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our decision to finance these aircraft through operating leases rather than through debt was based on an analysis of the cash flows and tax consequences of each financing alternative and a consideration of liquidity implications. We are responsible for all maintenance, insurance and other costs associated with operating these aircraft; however, we have not made any residual value or other guarantees to our lessors.
We have determined that we hold a variable interest in, but are not the primary beneficiary of, certain pass-through trusts. The beneficiaries of these pass-through trusts are the purchasers of equipment notes issued by us to finance the acquisition of aircraft. They maintain liquidity facilities whereby a third party agrees to make payments sufficient to pay up to 18 months of interest on the applicable certificates if a payment default occurs.
We have also made certain guarantees and indemnities to other unrelated parties that are not reflected on our balance sheet, which we believe will not have a significant impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates from the information provided in Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations-Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates included in our 2020 Form 10-K.
Forward-Looking Information

REGULATION G RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
We use non-GAAP financial measures in this report. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial 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. The information below provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure and shows a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this filing to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Operating Expenses per Available Seat Mile, excluding fuel and related taxes, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items ("CASM Ex-Fuel")
Operating expenses per available seat mile, or CASM, is a common metric used in the airline industry. Our CASM for the relevant periods are summarized in the table below. We exclude aircraft fuel and related taxes, operating expenses related to other non-airline businesses, such as JetBlue Technology Ventures and JetBlue Travel Products, and special items from operating expenses to determine CASM ex-fuel, which is a non-GAAP financial measure.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, special items include contra-expenses recognized on the utilization of payroll support extension grants received under the payroll support programs, and contra-expenses recognized on the Employee Retention Credits provided by the CARES Act.
Special items for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 include contra-expenses recognized on the utilization of payroll support grants received under the CARES Act and the impairment charge of our Embraer E190 fleet.
We believe that CASM ex-fuel is useful for investors because it provides investors the ability to measure financial performance excluding items beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors, or not related to the generation of an available seat mile, such as operating expense related to certain non-airline businesses. We believe this non-GAAP measure is more indicative of our ability to manage airline costs and is more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines.

Operating Expense, Loss before Taxes, Net Loss and Loss per Share, excluding special items
Our GAAP results in the applicable periods were impacted by credits and charges that were deemed special items.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, special items include contra-expenses recognized on the utilization of payroll support extension grants received under the payroll support programs, and contra-expenses recognized on the Employee Retention Credits provided by the CARES Act.
For the three months ended June 30, 2020, special items included a contra-expense which represents the amount of CARES Act payroll support grants utilized during the period. For the six months ended June 20, 2020, special items included the impairment charge of our Embraer E190 fleet resulting from the decline in demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Except as described below, there have been no material changes in market risks from the information provided in Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk included in our 2020 Form 10-K.
Aircraft Fuel
Our results of operations are affected by changes in the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Market risk is estimated as a hypothetical 10% increase in the June 30, 2021 cost per gallon of fuel. Based on projected fuel consumption for the next 12 months, including the impact of our hedging position, such an increase would result in an increase to aircraft fuel expense of approximately $166 million. As of June 30, 2021, we had not hedged any of our projected fuel requirement for the remainder of 2021.
Interest
Our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on interest expense from variable-rate debt instruments and on interest income generated from our cash and investment balances. The interest rate is fixed for $3.9 billion of our debt and finance lease obligations, with the remaining $0.2 billion having floating interest rates. As of June 30, 2021, if interest rates were on average 100 basis points higher in 2021, our annual interest expense would increase by an insignificant amount. This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical change in interest rates on our variable rate debt.
If interest rates were to average 100 basis points lower in 2021 than they were during 2020, our interest income from cash and investment balances would decrease by approximately and insignificant amount. This amount is determined by considering the impact of the hypothetical change in interest rates on the balances of our money market funds and short-term, interest-bearing investment for the trailing twelve month period.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, or CEO, and our Chief Financial Officer, or CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, with the participation of our CEO and CFO, performed an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) identified in connection with the evaluation of our controls performed during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
