Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of December 31, 2020 the Company had:

Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $864 million.
Outstanding debt and finance lease obligations of $1.3 billion.
Air traffic liability of $534 million.

In January 2021, the Company applied to participate in the Payroll Support Program Extension program (the "PSP Extension"), part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021, and expects to receive approximately $168 million in funds through the program.

Fourth Quarter 2020

On October 15, 2020, the Company reached an important inflection point in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic with the re-opening of Hawai‘i to tourism through the launch of the State of Hawai‘i's pre-travel testing program, which allows guests to avoid quarantine with evidence of a negative COVID-19 test, subject to certain island-specific requirements.

During the fourth quarter, the Company reinstated non-stop service from Honolulu to Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, Oakland, New York and Boston, restoring service to all of its pre-pandemic origin points on the U.S. mainland, as well as non-stop service from Honolulu to Tokyo-Haneda, Japan; Osaka, Japan; and Seoul, South Korea. While the Company doubled its capacity as compared to the third quarter of 2020, its capacity was down 72% compared to the same period in 2019.

As testing is key to the resumption of Hawai‘i travel, the Company launched an array of testing options for travelers, including access to mail-in test kits and proprietary drive-through testing labs in select U.S. mainland gateways.




To increase liquidity, the Company raised approximately $41 million in net proceeds through the sale of approximately 2.1 million shares of common stock under the Company’s at-the-market offering program (ATM Program) during the fourth quarter. The Company may sell up to 5 million shares in total under the ATM Program.

On October 1, 2020, the Company implemented both permanent and extended voluntary leave programs with each of its workgroups. In total, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 2,400 employees, or more than 32 percent of all employees, of which approximately 2,100 were through voluntary means. As of January 26, 2021, all employees who were subject to an involuntary furlough between October 1, 2020 and January 15, 2021 have been sent recall notices pursuant to the PSP Extension.

In October 2020, the Company executed an amendment with the U.S. Treasury increasing the total amount of the CARES Act Economic Relief Program (ERP) loan under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) from $420 million to $622 million, of which $577 million is undrawn. The Company has until May 28, 2021 to determine how much of the remaining ERP funds to borrow.

In October 2020, the Company reached an agreement with Boeing to delay 787-9 deliveries under its purchase agreement for 10 aircraft. The Company expects to take delivery of 787-9 aircraft from 2022 to 2026 with its first aircraft to be delivered in September 2022.

Guest Experience

During the fourth quarter, the Company continued its enhanced cleaning procedures and guest-facing protocols in an effort to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19, including:

Performing enhanced aircraft cleaning between flights and during overnight parking, including recurring electrostatic spraying of all aircraft.
Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of counters and self-service check-in kiosks in airports.
Ensuring hand sanitizers are readily available for guests at airports we serve.
Requiring guests and guest facing employees to wear a face mask or covering, with guests required to wear masks from check-in to deplaning (except when eating or drinking on board).
Modifying boarding and deplaning processes.
Modifying in-flight service to minimize close interactions between crew members and guests.
Eliminating change fees on all domestic and international flights in order to provide guests with travel flexibility across the Company's network.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company, in coordination with the State of Hawai‘i, will implement the Hawai‘i Pre-Clear Program across its mainland network to improve the arrivals process for its guests by validating the State's pre-travel testing requirement prior to departure.

First Quarter 2021 Outlook

The Company announced on December 8, 2020 that it will launch four new routes in March and April 2021; nonstop flights from Honolulu to Austin, Texas; Orlando, Florida, and Ontario, California as well as a new flight from Long Beach, California to Maui.

The Company expects its first quarter 2021 capacity to be down about 50% compared to the first quarter of 2019, with the State of Hawai‘i's pre-travel testing program anticipated to remain in place throughout the first quarter.

The Company expects its full year 2021 capital expenditures to be approximately $50 - $70 million.

Statistical information, as well as a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures, can be found in the accompanying tables.




Other Recent Developments

Recent Developments

Impact of COVID-19

Due to the rapid and unprecedented spread of COVID-19, what began with the Company’s suspension of service to South Korea and Japan in late February 2020 accelerated in March 2020 when governments instituted requirements of self-isolation or quarantine for incoming travel. This was followed by the announcement in late March 2020 and early April 2020 of a 14-day mandatory quarantine for all travelers to and within the State of Hawai‘i, respectively. On December 17, 2020, the mandatory self-quarantine period in the State of Hawai‘i was reduced from 14 to 10 days. These restrictions, combined with the ongoing spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic globally, have continued to significantly suppress customer demand, which remains at historically low levels.

Restrictions on travel to and within the State of Hawai‘i as well as travel to and from various international locations (including international locations within the Company’s network) remain in effect. Since October 15, 2020, the State of Hawai‘i has allowed travelers coming to Hawai‘i from the mainland U.S. to bypass the 10-day quarantine requirement with proof of a negative COVID-19 test from a state-approved testing partner (the “pre-travel testing program”), and the pre-travel testing program has since been expanded to include international travelers from Japan and Canada. The State of Hawai‘i and counties within the state continue to evaluate and update testing requirements for travel to and within the state, including the required timing of receipt of testing results and the expansion of the pre-travel testing program to travelers from other international locations.

Following the announcement and implementation of the pre-travel testing program, the Company saw an increase in bookings and has begun rebuilding its North America, Neighbor Island and International flight schedules commensurate with anticipated increases in demand. During the fourth quarter, the Company reinstated non-stop service from Honolulu, Hawai‘i to Las Vegas, Nevada, Phoenix, Arizona, San Jose and Oakland, California, New York, New York and Boston, Massachusetts, thereby restoring service to all of the Company’s pre-pandemic origin points on the U.S. mainland, as well as non-stop service from Honolulu to Tokyo-Haneda and Osaka, Japan, and Seoul, South Korea. While the Company doubled its capacity during the fourth quarter of 2020, as compared to the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s capacity was down approximately 72% compared to the same period in 2019. In December 2020, the Company announced the addition of three new U.S. mainland destinations: Austin, Texas, Orlando, Florida, and Ontario, California with service to and from Honolulu, Hawai‘i beginning on April 21, March 11, and March 16, 2021, respectively. The Company also announced expanded service with a daily non-stop flight between Kahului, Hawai‘i and Long Beach, California beginning in March 2021.

New bookings for travel from the Company’s mainland markets for January through March 2021 have moderated somewhat since the period immediately following the implementation of the pre-travel testing program and are currently at about one-third of 2019 levels. The Company attributes this to recent changes in the pre-travel testing program, the resurgence of COVID-19 infections in the U.S. and internationally, implementation of restrictions and quarantines in certain key origin points, and other factors affecting public sentiment.

While certain markets have reopened, others, particularly international markets, remain closed or continue to enforce extended quarantines, including as new strains of COVID-19 are identified. There can be no assurance whether, at some point, the State of Hawai‘i or counties within the state may limit or suspend the pre-travel testing program should the prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic worsen. For example, the County of Kaua‘i suspended its participation in the statewide pre-travel testing program in late November and, effective January 5, 2021, resumed its participation in the pre-travel testing program for interisland travelers and instituted an Enhanced Movement Quarantine pre- and post-travel testing program for transpacific travelers. The U.S. government and international governments could also impose, extend or otherwise modify existing, travel restrictions on international travel into the United States. For example, on January 21, 2021, President Biden issued an Executive Order Promoting COVID-19 Safety in Domestic and International Travel, which will require international travelers to produce proof of a recent negative COVID-19 test prior to entry and comply with other applicable guidelines issued by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention concerning international travel, including recommended periods of self-quarantine after entry into the U.S. Details of these requirements are forthcoming. While the impact of such regulatory



changes remains uncertain, pre-travel testing and quarantine requirements may decrease new bookings and increase cancellations of current bookings. As a result of all the above factors and the Company’s results to date, the Company expects its bookings, revenue and results of operations to continue to be volatile with revenue trends experienced in the fourth quarter of 2020 to continue in the first quarter of 2021. These results and trends may decrease from its existing or anticipated levels, which decrease could be material. The Company will continue to assess its routes and schedule in response to changes in demand, including related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has implemented enhanced safety protocols focusing on its employees and guests, while at the same time working to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on its financial position and operations.

Guest and Employee Experience. The Company has enhanced cleaning procedures and guest-facing protocols in an effort to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19. These procedures are in line with current recommendations from leading public health authorities and include:

Performing enhanced aircraft cleaning between flights and during overnight parking, including recurring electrostatic spraying of all aircraft.
Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of counters and self-service check-in kiosks in airports.
Ensuring hand sanitizers are readily available for guests at airports the Company serves.
Requiring guests and guest facing employees to wear a face mask or covering, with guests required to keep them on from check-in to deplaning (except when eating or drinking on board).
Modifying boarding and deplaning processes.
Modifying in-flight service to minimize close interactions between crew members and guests.
Eliminating change fees on all domestic and international flights in order to provide guests with travel flexibility across the Company’s network.
Launching a program to offer guests pre-travel COVID-19 testing through mail-in kits and proprietary drive-through testing labs in an increasing number of the Company’s U.S. mainland gateways.

During the first quarter of 2021, the Company plans, in coordination with the State of Hawai‘i, to implement the Hawai‘i Pre-Clear Program across the Company’s mainland network, which is intended to enhance the arrival process for the Company’s guests by validating the State’s pre-travel testing requirement prior to departure.

Capacity Impacts. In response to reduced passenger demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company significantly reduced system capacity beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 to a level that maintained essential services and made adjustments to better align capacity with passenger demand throughout 2020. The Company expects to continue to adjust capacity throughout 2021 based upon expected passenger demand.

During the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, the Company reduced capacity by 72.4% and 63.3%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in the prior year. For the first quarter of 2021, the Company expects system capacity to decrease approximately 50% as compared to the same period in 2019. In the first quarter, the Company currently expects to operate just over 70% of its North America schedule and 12% of its international schedule compared to 2019, respectively.

Expense Management. In response to the reduction in revenue the Company experienced in 2020, the Company has implemented, and will continue to implement, as necessary, cost savings and liquidity measures, including:

In 2020, the Company commenced various initiatives to reduce labor costs as follows:
During the first quarter, the Company instituted a temporary hiring freeze, except with respect to operationally critical and essential positions.
During the second quarter, the Company operationalized various temporary voluntary leave and vacation purchase programs to balance the Company’s workforce with the Company’s reduced levels of operations.
During the third quarter, the Company announced and completed voluntary separation and temporary leave programs across each of the Company’s labor groups. Additionally, the Company completed a majority of its involuntary separations, most of which were effective October 1, 2020. Combined, separation and temporary leave programs resulted in an approximately 32% reduction of the Company’s total workforce. All employees who were subject to an involuntary termination or involuntary furlough between October 1, 2020



and January 15, 2021 were recalled and offered an opportunity to return to employment pursuant to the PSP Extension Agreement (as defined below).
The Company’s officers reduced their base salaries between 10% and 50% through September 30, 2020, and members of the Company’s Board of Directors also reduced their compensation through September 30, 2020.
The Company reduced capital expenditures for 2020 and continues to vigorously evaluate non-essential, non-aircraft capital expenditures. During the year ended December 31, 2020, capital expenditures were approximately $105.3 million, a decrease of 73.5% compared to the same period in 2019. The Company expects capital expenditures in 2021 will range between $50 to $70 million.
On October 26, 2020, the Company amended its purchase agreement with Boeing to, among other things, change the delivery schedule of Boeing’s 787-9 aircraft from 2021 through 2025 to 2022 through 2026, with the first delivery now scheduled in September 2022.
The Company may implement further discretionary changes and other cost reduction and liquidity preservation measures as needed to address the volatile and rapidly changing dynamics of passenger demand and changes in revenue, regulatory and public health directives, prevailing government policy and financial market conditions.

Cash Flow and Liquidity Management. The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $864 million as a result of various actions taken to increase liquidity and strengthen the Company’s financial position during 2020, including, but not limited to:

During the first quarter, the Company fully drew down its previously undrawn $235.0 million revolving credit facility.
During the first quarter, the Company suspended its stock repurchase program and on April 22, 2020, the Company suspended dividend payments.
During the second and third quarters, the Company received $240.6 million in grants and $60.3 million in loans pursuant to the Payroll Support Program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”).
During the third quarter, the Company entered into a Loan Agreement with the U.S. Department of Treasury (“Treasury”) pursuant to the Economic Relief Program (“ERP”) under the CARES Act to obtain a secured term loan which permits the Company to borrow up to $420.0 million. On October 23, 2020, the Company amended and restated its Loan Agreement with the Treasury to increase the maximum available to be borrowed by the Company to $622 million. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had borrowed $45.0 million under the ERP. The Company has until May 28, 2021 to determine how much of the remaining ERP funds to borrow.
During the third quarter, the Company completed $376.0 million in aircraft financings, including the issuance of enhanced equipment trust certificates and two sale and lease back transactions.
In December, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement in connection with an “at-the-market” offering relating to the issuance and sale, from time to time, of up to five million shares of its common stock (the “ATM Program”). As of December 31, 2020, the Company raised approximately $41.2 million through the sale of approximately 2.1 million shares at an average price of $19.79 per share. The Company paused its ATM Program between December 24, 2020 and January 28, 2020 and anticipates recommencing sales under the ATM Program during the first quarter of 2021.

The Company will continue to explore and pursue options to raise additional financing as opportunities arise.

The Company’s cash burn1 for the fourth quarter of 2020 was $1.7 million per day, approximately a 35% improvement from the third quarter of 2020 of $2.6 million per day, and more favorable than its previously disclosed forecast of $2.2 million per day. The Company forecasts its cash burn for the first quarter of 2021 to be $2.3 million per day to $2.7 million per day. As the Company continues to rebuild its operations to meet expected demand, it expects to incur additional operating expenses in the first quarter of 2021 as compared to the fourth quarter of 2020. The Company’s cash burn for the first quarter of 2021 will be highly dependent on bookings during the quarter, which may continue to be volatile and may be negatively impacted by any changes in the pre-travel testing program implemented by the State of Hawai‘i, the recent resurgence of COVID-19 infections
1 Cash burn includes net sales, operating cash outflows, debt service, interest payments, capital expenditures, tax refunds, and severance payments.



in the United States and internationally, the identification of new, more infectious strains of the COVID-19 virus, the implementation or extension of travel-related restrictions and quarantines in certain key origin points, and other factors affecting public sentiment.

Load Factor. The Company’s flown load factor for the fourth quarter of 2020 was 40%.

Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021

On January 15, 2021, the Company entered into a Payroll Support Program Extension Agreement as part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (the “PSP Extension Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company expects to receive approximately $168 million in funds to be used exclusively for the purpose of continuing to pay employee salaries, wages and benefits, including the payment of lost wages, salaries and benefits to certain returning employees for the period between December 1, 2020 and January 15, 2021. In connection with the PSP Extension Agreement, the Company issued a note to Treasury, which will increase to a total principal sum of approximately $20.3 million as Hawaiian receives installments of funds from Treasury, and entered into a Warrant Agreement pursuant to which the Company expects to issue to Treasury warrants to purchase approximately 113,940 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $17.78 per share. Refer to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 15, 2021 for further information.

Economic Fuel Expense
(in thousands, except per-gallon amounts) (unaudited)
 
The Company believes that economic fuel expense is a good measure of the effect of fuel prices on its business as it most closely approximates the net cash outflow associated with the purchase of fuel for its operations in a period. The Company defines economic fuel expense as GAAP fuel expense plus losses/(gains) realized through actual cash (receipts)/payments received from or paid to hedge counterparties for fuel hedge derivative contracts settled during the period.

Non-GAAP Financial Reconciliation (unaudited)
 
The Company evaluates its financial performance utilizing various GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, including net income, diluted net income per share, CASM, PRASM, RASM, Passenger Revenue per RPM, EBITDAR, and pre-tax margin. Pursuant to Regulation G, the Company has included the following reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis.  The adjustments are described below:

During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the effective tax rate included a tax benefit of $15.9 million and $45.4 million, respectively, resulting from the rate differential between the prevailing tax rate of 21% during the years that generated net operating losses and the previous tax rate of 35% that was in effect during the years to which net operating losses were carried back as a result of the enactment of the CARES Act.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized $240.6 million in contra-expense related to grant proceeds from the PSP. The grant proceeds were recognized in proportion to estimated wages and benefits expense over the period the PSP covers. The Company utilized all proceeds from the PSP as of December 31, 2020.

Changes in fair value of fuel derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period, and include the unrealized amounts of fuel derivatives (not designated as hedges) that will settle in future periods and the reversal of prior period unrealized amounts.

Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period, including the unrealized amounts of foreign currency derivatives (not designated as hedges) that will settle in future periods and the reversal of prior period unrealized amounts.
Unrealized loss (gain) on foreign debt is based on fluctuation in exchange rates and the measurement of foreign-denominated debt to the Company's functional currency.

The Company recorded the following as special items:

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, a charge of $20.2 million was recorded for the ratification of a collective bargaining agreement with the Association of Flight Attendants in April 2020 (related to service prior to January 1, 2020).
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, a special charge of $106.7 million was recorded for goodwill impairment resulting from the decline in the market value of the Company's equity (i.e., share price), and the Company's inability to support the carrying value of goodwill on its financial statements.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, an impairment charge of $27.5 million was recorded related to the Company's ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets. An additional impairment charge of $3.4 million was recorded related to the Company's commercial real estate subsidiary.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded $3.1 million of charges related to write-downs of projects permanently suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded $24.5 million in special items related to its voluntary and involuntary separation programs, of which $17.5 million was recorded as an operating special item related to severance and benefits and $7.0 million was recorded as a non-operating special item related to termination benefits and curtailment loss.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment of approximately $5.4 million, comprised of an additional write-down of its ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleet of approximately $4.9 million as a result of ongoing market uncertainty attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and the write-off of approximately $0.5 million in capitalized software projects that were permanently suspended in response to the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Company



recorded $0.3 million related to additional costs for the finalization of the voluntary and involuntary separation programs discussed above.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed its accounting for voluntary and involuntary separation programs initiated in the third quarter of 2020, resulting in the reversal of non-operating special items of approximately $1.3 million.

The Company believes that adjusting for the impact of an effective tax rate differential, the receipt of grant proceeds, changes in fair value of fuel derivative contracts and foreign currency derivative contracts, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, special items, and the sale of aircraft and aircraft equipment helps investors better analyze the Company's operational performance and compare its results to other airlines in the periods presented.
