Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We sometimes use financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) to understand and evaluate our current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. We believe 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. We are providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis.
The following table presents the components of our total net special items and the reconciliation of pre-tax income and net income (GAAP measures) to pre-tax income excluding net special items and net income excluding net special items (non-GAAP measures). Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our 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 our core operating performance.

| Reconciliation of Pre-Tax Income Excluding Net Special Items: | ||
| Pre-tax income – GAAP | $1,154 | $1,121 |

| Pre-tax income excluding net special items | $1,821 | $2,462 |

| Net income excluding net special items | $1,362 | $1,859 |
(1)See Note 2 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A for further information on net special items.
(2)Labor contract expenses for 2024 related to one-time charges resulting from the ratification of new CBAs with our mainline flight attendants and passenger service team members, including one-time payments and adjustments to vacation accruals resulting from pay rate increases.
Labor contract expenses for 2023 related to one-time charges resulting from the ratification of a new CBA with our mainline pilots, including a one-time payment of $754 million as well as adjustments to other benefit-related items of $235 million.
(3)We retired our Airbus A330 fleet in 2020 as a result of the decline in demand for air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge to write down the carrying value of our retired Airbus A330 fleet to their then estimated fair value due to the market conditions for certain used aircraft, and in 2024, we entered into a sales agreement for our remaining Airbus A330 aircraft, resulting in a $42 million gain.
(4)Regional operating special items, net for 2024 included a $33 million non-cash write down of regional aircraft resulting from the decision to permanently park 43 Embraer 145 aircraft.
(5)Debt refinancing and extinguishment costs in 2023 primarily included cash charges for premiums paid in connection with the early repayment of debt.
(6)Mark-to-market adjustments on equity investments, net included net unrealized gains and losses associated with certain equity investments. See Note 8 to AAG’s Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A for further information related to our equity investments.
Additionally, the table below presents the reconciliation of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure) and total operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) to CASM excluding net special items and fuel. Management uses total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel and CASM excluding net special items and fuel to evaluate our current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which we have no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude net special items and fuel allows management an additional tool to understand and analyze our non-fuel costs and core operating performance. Amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.
