American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) today reported its
fourth-quarter and full-year 2020 financial results, including:
- Fourth-quarter revenue of $4.0 billion, down 64% year
over year on a 53% year-over-year reduction in total available seat
miles (ASMs).
- Fourth-quarter net loss of $2.2 billion, or ($3.81) per
share. Excluding net special
items1, fourth-quarter net loss
was $2.2 billion, or ($3.86) per share.
- Full-year net loss of $8.9 billion, or ($18.36) per
share. Excluding net special
items2, full-year net loss was
$9.5 billion, or ($19.66) per share.
- Ended fourth quarter with approximately $14.3 billion
of total available liquidity. Company expects to end the first
quarter of 2021 with approximately $15.0 billion in total available
liquidity.
- Incorporated more than $1.3 billion of permanent
non-volume, non-fuel efficiency cost-saving measures into 2021
operating plan.
“Our fourth-quarter financial results close out the most
challenging year in our company’s history,” said American Airlines
Chairman and CEO Doug Parker. “However, we couldn’t be prouder of
the American Airlines team and the great things they accomplished
last year. Through collaboration, resourcefulness and hard work,
our team did its part to keep the economy moving. The American team
flew more customers than any other airline in 2020, and they did so
safely and with the utmost care.
“As we look to the year ahead, 2021 will be a year of recovery.
While we don’t know exactly when passenger demand will return, as
vaccine distribution takes hold and travel restrictions are lifted,
we will be ready. We are confident that the actions we have taken
to improve our customer experience, enhance our network and
increase our efficiency position us well for the future.”
American took a number of steps in 2020 to respond to the
pandemic and strengthen its business, with an emphasis on
supporting its team members, customers and communities; reducing
costs; and improving its liquidity position.
To support its team members, customers and communities,
American:
- Enhanced its cleaning procedures at airports and onboard
aircraft under the guidance of its Travel Health Advisory Panel,
earning the STAR® Accreditation from the Global Biorisk Advisory
Council for effective cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease
prevention practices onboard its aircraft and in its lounges.
- Introduced a preflight coronavirus (COVID-19) testing program
to help reopen certain international travel markets. American now
offers testing for many international destinations and has
introduced at-home testing for customers traveling to all U.S.
locations that require negative tests.
- Began the rollout of mobile wellness wallet solution VeriFLY to
make domestic and international travel simpler. Travelers can now
easily understand COVID-19 testing and documentation requirements
for their destination and streamline airport check-in through
digital verification. Starting today, customers also will be able
to use VeriFLY for travel from the United States to the U.K. and
Canada.
- Eliminated fees for:
- Ticket changes on all domestic and international itineraries
when traveling from North and South America, with the exception of
Basic Economy fares that are nonchangeable.
- Mileage redeposits for canceled award bookings.
- Domestic same-day standby.
- Booking reservations by phone.
- Made it easier for top-tier customers to earn AAdvantage® elite
status in 2020 and 2021, paused mileage expiration through June 30,
2021, and extended 2020 AAdvantage status into early 2022 for all
members.
- Launched the company’s first cargo-only flights since 1984 to
transport critical goods, including the COVID-19 vaccine, and
increased service to include 41 destinations for strategic
cargo-only opportunities. American helped customers move nearly 800
million pounds of critical goods around the world in 2020,
including 167 million pounds on the airline’s more than 5,200
cargo-only flights.
- Announced its goal to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2050
and detailed the company’s strategy and pathway in its ESG
Report.
To reduce costs and conserve cash,
American:
- Removed more than $17 billion from its operating and capital
budgets for 2020 primarily through reduced flying.
- Incorporated more than $1.3 billion of permanent non-volume,
non-fuel efficiency cost-saving measures into 2021 operating
plan.
- Retired five aircraft types (Embraer 190, Boeing 757, Boeing
767, Airbus A330 and Bombardier CRJ200), along with a number
of older regional aircraft. The company also placed certain older
Boeing 737-800 aircraft into temporary storage. These changes
removed more than 150 aircraft from the fleet and brought forward
significant cost savings and efficiencies associated with operating
fewer aircraft types, giving American the youngest fleet among the
U.S. network carriers.
- Reached an agreement with Boeing to secure rights to defer
deliveries of 18 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft and finalized a series of
sale-leaseback transactions to finance its Airbus A321 aircraft
deliveries in 2021. To date, five of the 18 737 MAX deferral rights
have been exercised.
- Reset its international capacity and network for 2021,
including exiting 19 international routes from six hubs.
- Reduced non-aircraft capital expense by $700 million in 2020
and another $300 million in 2021 through reductions in fleet
modification work, the elimination of ground service equipment
purchases, and pausing noncritical facility investments and IT
projects.
- Introduced programs to right-size its frontline and management
teams. In total, more than 20,000 team members opted to participate
in a voluntary early out or long-term partially paid leave during
the year, and the company reduced its management and support staff
team by approximately 30%.
- Made the difficult decision to proceed with furloughs to reduce
headcount absent an extension of the CARES Act Payroll Support
Program (PSP). American’s furloughed team members have since had
their pay and benefits reinstated with the passage of a bipartisan
COVID-19 relief package that renewed the PSP from Dec. 1, 2020,
through March 31, 2021.
To improve its liquidity position,
American:
- Reduced its daily cash burn rate3 from nearly $100 million in
April 2020 to approximately $30 million in the fourth quarter. This
improvement was driven by the company’s revenue and cost-reduction
initiatives throughout the year.
- Secured approximately $9 billion in financial assistance
through two rounds of PSP legislation and executed an agreement
with the U.S. Department of the Treasury through the CARES Act loan
program that gives the company access to up to $7.5 billion of
secured term loans, of which $550 million has been drawn.
- Raised more than $13 billion during the year through various
other equity and debt offerings.
- Expects to end the first quarter with approximately $15.0
billion in total available liquidity.
Network and partnershipsAmerican reset its
network in 2020 to play to the strengths of its hubs and take
advantage of its younger and simplified fleet. The airline also
established new and innovative partnerships with Alaska Airlines
and JetBlue Airways that will create the best and largest network
for customers on the West Coast and in the Northeast. These
partnerships will allow for efficient growth, including the launch
of new service in 2021 between Seattle and London, Shanghai and
Bangalore, and between New York and Tel Aviv and Athens.
Demand and capacity outlook The company will
continue to match its forward capacity with observed bookings
trends. Compared to the first quarter of 2019, American expects its
first-quarter system capacity to be down 45%, with total revenue
expected to be down 60 to 65%.
Conference call and webcast detailsThe
company will conduct a live audio webcast of its financial
results call at 7:30 a.m. CST today. The call will be
available to the public on a listen-only basis at
aa.com/investorrelations. An archive of the webcast will be
available on the website through Feb. 28.
NotesSee the accompanying notes in the

explanation, including a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP
financial information.
1. The company recognized $36 million of
nonoperating net special items during the fourth quarter of 2020.

2. The 2020 12-month period mainline operating
special items, net principally included $3.7 billion of PSP
financial assistance, offset in part by $1.5 billion of fleet
impairment charges, $1.4 billion of salary and medical costs
primarily associated with certain team members who opted in to
voluntary early retirement programs offered as a result of
reductions to the company's operation due to COVID-19, and $228
million of one-time labor contract expenses resulting from the
ratification of a new contract with the company's maintenance and
fleet service team members, including signing bonuses and
adjustments to vacation accruals resulting from pay rate
increases.
The 2020 12-month period regional operating special items, net
principally included $444 million of PSP financial assistance,
offset in part by $117 million of fleet impairment charges and $18
million of salary and medical costs primarily associated with the
voluntary early retirement programs as discussed above.
The company recognized $170 million of nonoperating net special
items in 2020. These net special items principally included
mark-to-market net unrealized gains and losses associated with
certain equity investments and treasury rate lock derivative
instruments as well as charges associated with debt refinancings
and extinguishments.

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

The 2020 twelve month period mainline operating special items, net
principally included $3.7 billion of Payroll Support Program (PSP)
financial assistance, offset in part by $1.5 billion of fleet
impairment charges, $1.4 billion of salary and medical costs
primarily associated with certain team members who opted in to
voluntary early retirement programs offered as a result of
reductions to the company's operation due to the COVID-19 pandemic
and $228 million of one-time labor contract expenses resulting from
the ratification of a new contract with the company's maintenance
and fleet service team members, including signing bonuses and
adjustments to vacation accruals resulting from pay rate
increases. |
|
|
|
Cash payments related to the special charges for salary and medical
costs primarily associated with the voluntary early retirement
programs discussed above were approximately $195 million and $365
million for the 2020 fourth quarter and twelve month period,
respectively. |
|
|
|
Fleet impairment charges resulted from the company's decision to
retire certain aircraft earlier than planned driven by the decline
in air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Aircraft retired
include Airbus A330-200, Boeing 757, Boeing 767, Airbus A330-300
and Embraer 190 aircraft. The 2020 twelve month period fleet
impairment charges included a $1.4 billion non-cash write-down of
mainline aircraft and spare parts and $102 million in cash charges
primarily for impairment of right-of-use assets and lease return
costs. |
|
|
|
The 2019 fourth quarter mainline operating special items, net
principally included $85 million of merger integration expenses and
$39 million of fleet restructuring expenses. The 2019 twelve month
period mainline operating special items, net principally included
$271 million of fleet restructuring expenses, a $213 million
non-cash impairment charge principally related to the retirement of
the company's Embraer E190 fleet and $191 million of merger
integration expenses, offset in part by a $53 million credit to
reduce certain litigation reserves. |
|
|
(2) |
The 2020 twelve month period regional operating special items, net
included $444 million of PSP financial assistance, offset in part
by $117 million of fleet impairment charges and $18 million of
salary and medical costs primarily associated with certain team
members who opted in to voluntary early retirement programs offered
as a result of reductions to the company's operation due to the
COVID-19 pandemic. |
|
|
|
The fleet impairment charges principally included a non-cash
write-down of regional aircraft and spare parts resulting from the
company’s decision to retire certain aircraft earlier than planned
driven by the decline in air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Aircraft retired include certain Embraer 140 and Bombardier CRJ200
aircraft. |
|
|
(3) |
Principally included mark-to-market net unrealized gains and losses
associated with certain equity investments and treasury rate lock
derivative instruments as well as charges associated with debt
refinancings and extinguishments. |

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