Current report

•Airline-only operating CASM, excluding fuel and special charges of 8.47 ¢, down 4.7 percent year-over-year

Current report

•Named Best Airline Credit Card for the seventh consecutive year and Best Frequent Flyer Program for the second consecutive year by USA TODAY's Readers' Choice Awards

Current report

In September 2025, we completed the sale of Sunseeker Resort and received cash proceeds of approximately $189.9 million after various closing adjustments. The sale aligns with our strategic focus on our Airline operations.

Current report

Passenger revenue. Passenger revenue increased $5.2 million or 1.1 percent compared to third quarter 2024 driven by a 9.0 percent increase in scheduled service passengers on an 11.0 percent increase in scheduled service departures. The increase in scheduled service passengers was offset by a 7.3 percent decrease in scheduled service total fare. While average base fare declined by 16.3 percent compared to third quarter 2024 due to demand softness in the industry, average ancillary fare remained flat quarter over quarter.

Current report

Third party products revenue. Third party products revenue was flat compared to the prior year quarter despite the 9.0 percent increase in scheduled service passengers. An increase in revenue from our travel insurance product was offset by decreases in revenues from hotel room sales on our website and in the marketing component of our co-brand credit card revenue.

Current report

Fixed fee contract revenue. Fixed fee contract revenue decreased $1.7 million or 8.3 percent compared to third quarter 2024. This is primarily due to a 4.3 percent decrease in fixed fee departures driven by lower availability of aircraft for fixed fee service due to higher utilization in scheduled service and also by decreases in international vacation and Department of Defense charters.

Current report

Resort and other revenue. Resort and other revenues decreased $3.7 million or 27.9 percent, primarily due to the sale of Sunseeker Resort on September 4, 2025, resulting in approximately one less month of resort revenue included in third quarter 2025 compared to third quarter 2024.

Current report

Salaries and benefits expense at Sunseeker Resort decreased $5.6 million or 48.6 percent primarily due to the sale of Sunseeker Resort on September 4, 2025, resulting in approximately one less month of expense included in third quarter 2025 compared to third quarter 2024.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization expense. Airline depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.9 million or 5.2 percent compared to third quarter 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to the addition of 10 new aircraft from our 737 MAX order, which were placed into service over the past year. This increase was partially offset by decreases in depreciation and heavy maintenance amortization resulting from the retirement of seven Airbus airframes since third quarter 2024.

Current report

Maintenance and repairs expense. Maintenance and repairs expense increased $9.6 million or 31.8 percent compared to third quarter 2024, primarily due to a higher volume of certain rotable part repairs during third quarter 2025. Maintenance and repairs expense was also impacted by tariffs and repairs to aircraft to be returned from operating lease. The remaining increases in maintenance and repairs expense were consistent with the 9.7 percent increase in capacity.

Current report

Sunseeker Resort sales and marketing expense decreased $0.6 million or 36.8 percent primarily due to the sale of Sunseeker Resort on September 4, 2025, resulting in approximately one less month of expense in third quarter 2025 compared to third quarter 2024.

Current report

Other operating expense. Airline other operating expenses decreased by $5.5 million or 18.2 percent partially due to gains on the sale of land and flight equipment during third quarter 2025, which resulted in a larger offset to other operating expenses compared to the prior year quarter. Additionally, there were decreases in various other operating expense items, such as corporate and crew travel, administrative services, insurance costs, rent and property taxes as we continue to focus on managing costs.

Current report

Sunseeker Resort other operating expenses decreased $1.4 million or 13.9 percent primarily due to the sale of Sunseeker Resort on September 4, 2025, resulting in approximately one less month of expense in third quarter 2025 compared to third quarter 2024.

Current report

Special charges. In third quarter 2025, the Airline recorded $2.9 million in special charges related to accelerated depreciation on airframes identified for early retirement.

Current report

Sunseeker Resort recorded $0.6 million in special charges during third quarter 2025. These charges primarily reflect $2.9 million in asset write-downs and transaction-related adjustments associated with the sale of the Resort. The impact of these charges was largely offset by final insurance recoveries related to previous weather and associated events.

Current report

Interest expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, increased $7.8 million or 45.5 percent, compared to third quarter 2024. The increase was primarily driven by an $8.8 million decrease in capitalized interest as 15 aircraft from our 737 MAX order have been delivered since September 30, 2024, and the interest expense on debt to acquire those aircraft is no longer capitalized.

Current report

Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2025 to nine months ended September 30, 2024

Current report

Fixed fee contract revenue. Fixed fee contract revenue decreased $5.0 million or 8.7 percent compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was primarily due to a 5.7 percent decrease in fixed fee departures driven by lower availability of aircraft for fixed fee service due to higher utilization in scheduled service and also by decreases in international vacation, Department of Defense and sports charters.

Current report

Resort and other revenue. Resort revenues increased $6.9 million or 12.9 percent compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, despite having one less month of revenue in 2025 due to the sale of the Resort on September 4, 2025. The increased revenue was primarily driven by increased occupancy which was partially offset by a reduction in the average daily rate.

Current report

Sales and marketing expense. Airline sales and marketing expense decreased $7.6 million or 9.7 percent, primarily driven by a decrease in sponsorship expenses, and a decrease in credit card processing fees. Notably, credit card processing fees decreased year over year, despite an increase in passenger revenue, as processing fee rates have been trending down. We have made strategic efforts throughout the year to manage card processing fees, including adding PayPal as a payment option for our customers, and discontinuing the use of certain high-fee credit card processors for our buy-on-board transactions.

Current report

Sunseeker Resort sales and marketing expense decreased $0.7 million or 13.9 percent primarily due to the sale of Sunseeker Resort on September 4, 2025, resulting in approximately one less month of expense included in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024.

Current report

Other operating expense. Airline other operating expense decreased $12.1 million or 13.8 percent partially due to gains on the sale of land and flight equipment during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, which resulted in a larger offset to other operating expenses compared to the same period in 2024. Additionally, there were decreases in various other operating expense items, such as corporate and crew travel, legal expense, and administrative services, as we continue to focus on managing costs.

Current report

We recorded special charges totaling $105.1 million related to the sale of Sunseeker Report, which were partially offset by $4.2 million of insurance recoveries received in connection with weather and related events. Refer to Note 2 and Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in this Form 10-Q for additional details on special charges.

Current report

Proceeds from Sale of Assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we received $189.9 million in proceeds from the sale of Sunseeker Resort, which was completed on September 4, 2025.

Previous report

We are continuing to focus on our "peak the peaks" initiative to increase our profitability by increasing our peak period aircraft utilization to 2019 (pre-pandemic) levels. By way of example, our aircraft utilization rate was 8.7 hours per aircraft in June 2025 compared to 9.7 hours per aircraft in June 2019 and 7.8 hours per aircraft in June 2024. We will continue to evaluate the benefits of utilization increases in the current economic environment. These efforts are subject to various risks, some of which may not be under our control.

Previous report

In July 2025, we entered into an agreement to sell the Sunseeker Resort, including the Aileron Golf Course and related assets, to affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate Group for approximately $200 million (subject to certain adjustments) payable in cash at closing. The transaction is expected to close in September 2025, subject to customary closing conditions. The accounting impacts of the transaction are more fully described in Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in this Form 10-Q.

Previous report

In December 2021, we announced plans for a fully-integrated commercial alliance agreement with VivaAerobus, designed to expand options for nonstop leisure air travel between our markets in the United States and Mexico. We and VivaAerobus continue to await U.S. government approval of our joint application to the Department of Transportation ("DOT" or "US DOT") requesting approval of, and antitrust immunity for, the alliance. The DOT process progressed substantially under the prior presidential administration, but review was suspended in 2023. In April 2025, we filed a motion with the DOT to resume the procedural schedule on the application for antitrust immunity. In July 2025 the US DOT announced a series of measures to force the Mexican Government to correct perceived violations of the air transport agreement between the two countries. We anticipate our application to remain suspended while the US DOT undertakes these actions.

Previous report

Fixed fee contract revenue. Fixed fee contract revenue decreased $0.7 million or 3.8 percent compared to second quarter 2024. Although there was an increase in revenue from sports flying compared to the prior year quarter, this was slightly outpaced by a decrease in flying for the Department of Defense and a decrease in international flying for Apple Vacations.

Previous report

Resort and other revenue. Resort revenues increased $3.8 million or 22.7 percent compared to second quarter 2024. Resort occupancy was 51.0 percent compared to 33.0 percent in second quarter 2024, which represented a significant improvement over the prior year quarter. Revenue driven by increased occupancy was partially offset by a decrease in average daily rate to $225 from $256 during second quarter 2024. A $1.0 million year-over-year increase in food and beverage revenue from banquets also contributed to the increase in Resort revenue.

Previous report

Salaries and benefits expense at Sunseeker Resort decreased $1.9 million or 15.2 percent compared to second quarter 2024 due to a 28.9 percent decrease in average full-time equivalent employees as we adjusted staffing to better correspond with the needs of the Resort and outsourced certain functions.

Previous report

Depreciation and amortization expense. Airline depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.6 million or 9.5 percent compared to second quarter 2024. This was primarily driven by an increase in flight equipment depreciation, including engines, and IT asset amortization, due to new aircraft and equipment placed into service, an increase in heavy maintenance amortization, and increased software amortization resulting from the airline's implementation of new enterprise resource planning ("ERP") systems throughout 2024.

Previous report

Sunseeker Resort depreciation and amortization decreased $2.5 million or 40.9 percent compared to second quarter 2024, primarily as the result of an impairment charge recorded in fourth quarter 2024 which reduced the carrying amount of Resort assets. With Sunseeker Resort now being accounted for as assets held for sale, there will be no further depreciation recorded on these assets in the future.

Previous report

Maintenance and repairs expense. Maintenance and repairs expense increased $5.6 million or 18.4 percent compared to second quarter 2024, primarily as the result of the 15.7 percent capacity increase. On a per ASM basis, maintenance expense increased 3.3 percent as the result of a slight increase in rotable removals, which contributed approximately $1.6 million to the increase.

Previous report

Sunseeker Resort sales and marketing expense remained relatively flat, with a $0.1 million increase compared to second quarter 2024.

Previous report

Other operating expense. Airline other operating expenses increased by $5.6 million primarily as the result of a lower amount of gains on the sale of flight equipment compared to the prior year quarter (resulting in a smaller offset to other operating expense in second quarter 2025).

Previous report

Sunseeker Resort other operating expense increased $1.4 million or 12.6 percent compared to second quarter 2024, primarily as the result of outsourcing certain functions, including housekeeping, which were performed by employees during the prior year quarter.

Previous report

Special charges. In second quarter 2025, we recorded $117.9 million in special charges.

Previous report

Sunseeker Resort special charges consisted of a $100.4 million write down to fair value less costs to sell related to the pending sale of Sunseeker Resort to a third-party buyer, retention pay for certain key employees, and damages (net of insurance recoveries) from weather and related events. Refer to Note 2 and Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in this Form 10-Q for additional details.

Previous report

Interest expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, increased $4.0 million or 24.0 percent, compared to second quarter 2024. The increase was driven by a $7.0 million decrease in capitalized interest as nine aircraft from our 737 MAX order have been placed in service since June 30, 2024. Additionally, interest income decreased by $0.8 million compared to second quarter 2024 as the result of lower yields on invested balances. These changes were offset by a decrease in interest expense of $3.8 million or 9.6 percent compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to an 11.6 percent decrease in the carrying amount of debt outstanding.

Previous report

We recorded a $23.4 million income tax benefit at an effective tax rate of 26.4 percent and a $4.3 million income tax expense at a 24.0 percent effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes, the impact of permanent tax differences and discrete items. The discrete items primarily relate to the Sunseeker write down.

Previous report

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2025 to six months ended June 30, 2024

Previous report

Fixed fee contract revenue. Fixed fee contract revenue decreased $3.3 million or 9.0 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, on a 6.6 percent decrease in fixed fee departures. This was the result of an overall decrease in sports flying attributable to less aircraft time available to dedicate to fixed fee flying during March Madness compared to the prior year. Additionally, flying for the Department of Defense returned to more normal levels in the first half of 2025, as compared to particularly strong performance in the first half of 2024.

Previous report

Resort and other revenue. Resort revenues increased $10.6 million or 26.1 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. Resort occupancy was 60.6 percent in the first half of 2025 compared to 36.1 percent in the first half of 2024, which represented a significant improvement year over year. Revenue driven by increased occupancy was partially offset by a decrease in average daily rate to $259 from $295 during the first half of 2024. A $2.1 million year-over-year increase in banquet revenue also contributed to the increase in Resort revenue.

Previous report

Salaries and benefits expense. Salaries and benefits expense increased $22.3 million, or 5.3 percent, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

Sales and marketing expense. Sales and marketing expense decreased $6.5 million or 11.1 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

Airline sales and marketing expense decreased $6.3 million or 11.5 percent, primarily driven by a decrease in sponsorship expenses, an offset to expense for a non-recurring item related to our credit card agreement, and a decrease in certain online advertising. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in credit card processing fees, in line with a 5.1 percent increase in passenger revenue.

Previous report

Other operating expense. Airline other operating expense decreased $6.6 million or 11.5 percent primarily as the result of a lower amount of gains on the sale of flight equipment compared to the prior year period (resulting in a smaller offset to other operating expense in the 2025 period).

Previous report

Sunseeker Resort other operating expense increased $1.8 million or 7.7 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, primarily as the result of outsourcing certain functions, including housekeeping, which were performed by employees during the same period in the prior year.

Previous report

Sunseeker Resort special charges consisted of a $100.4 million write down to fair value less costs to sell related to the pending sale of Sunseeker Resort to a third-party buyer at a price lower than its carrying value, retention pay for certain key employees, and damages (net of insurance recoveries) from weather and related events. Refer to Note 2 and Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements (unaudited) in this Form 10-Q for additional details.

Previous report

We recorded a $13.6 million income tax benefit at an effective rate of 29.1 percent compared to a $3.9 million income tax expense at a 23.4 percent effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The 29.1 percent effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes, the impact of permanent tax differences and discrete items. The discrete items primarily relate to the Sunseeker write down. Our estimated annual effective tax rate for 2025, excluding discrete items, is 17.0 percent.

Due to the heavy maintenance needs on certain aging Airbus airframes and capacity constraints at the maintenance, repair, and overhaul contractors, we identified aging airframes for early retirement to coincide with the delivery schedule for our 737 MAX aircraft provided in an amendment to our Boeing purchase agreement signed in September 2023. As of June 30, 2025, 13 airframes had been retired, with 11 additional retirements scheduled between August 2025 and December 2026. The accelerated depreciation resulting from the revised estimated useful life of these aircraft is being recorded as a special charge, including $2.5 million recognized in the second quarter of 2025. The engines from these aircraft will be retained for future overhaul cost mitigation.

Current wording

Previous wording

Consumer confidence has vacillated during the current year, which along with other macroeconomic and airline industry events, have contributed to a decline in consumer spending generally and, in particular, softened demand for domestic, leisure air travel. These factors have impacted our fares, load factors, and profitability. Our results of operations may continue to be impacted if these conditions persist. We continue to monitor how these factors could impact our business and take steps to mitigate their effect on our business.

Current wording

Consumer confidence has vacillated during the current year, which along with other macroeconomic and airline industry events, initially contributed to a general decline in consumer spending and, in particular, softened demand for domestic, leisure air travel. Although demand fluctuates, macroeconomic uncertainty persists, driven by factors such as trade policies, tariffs, and the U.S. Government shutdown. These factors have impacted our fares, load factors, and profitability. Our results of operations may continue to be impacted while these conditions persist. We continue to monitor how these factors could impact our business and take steps to mitigate their effect on our business.

Previous wording

Airline operating CASM, excluding fuel and airline special charges. Airline operating CASM, excluding fuel and airline special charges, decreased 6.7 percent to 7.68 ¢ from 8.23 ¢ in second quarter 2024. The primary driver of the CASM-ex decrease was a 15.7 percent increase in ASMs, as we grew into our existing infrastructure. In particular, we achieved the increased capacity with only a small increase in the average number of aircraft in service and without any increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees. A majority of expense line items were lower on a per ASM basis due in part to the increase in capacity.

Current wording

Airline operating CASM, excluding fuel and special charges. Airline operating CASM, excluding fuel and special charges, decreased 4.7 percent to 8.47 ¢ from 8.89 ¢ in third quarter 2025. The primary driver of the CASM-ex decrease was a 9.7 percent increase in ASMs, as we grew into our existing infrastructure. In particular, we achieved the increased capacity with no increase to the average number of aircraft in service and with only a small increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees. A majority of expense line items were lower on a per ASM basis due in part to the increase in capacity.

Previous wording

Salaries and benefits expense. Airline salaries and benefits expense increased $6.1 million or 3.1 percent compared to second quarter 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increased flight crew wages due to a 17.1 percent increase in total block hours flown compared to second quarter 2024.

Current wording

Salaries and benefits expense. Airline salaries and benefits expense increased $6.6 million or 3.6 percent compared to third quarter 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to increased flight crew wages due to a 10.2 percent increase in total block hours flown compared to third quarter 2024. Additionally, flight crew wages were higher year over year due to an increase in average tenure.

Previous wording

Aircraft fuel expense. Aircraft fuel expense decreased $4.3 million or 2.5 percent compared to second quarter 2024. This was primarily driven by a 14.5 percent decrease in average fuel cost per gallon, offset by a 13.8 percent increase in fuel gallons consumed. The increased fuel consumption was driven by the 15.7 percent increase in ASMs offset by a 1.6 percent improvement in fuel efficiency.

Current wording

Aircraft fuel expense. Aircraft fuel expense increased $3.0 million or 2.0 percent compared to third quarter 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a 6.9 percent increase in fuel gallons consumed on a 9.7 percent increase in available seat miles, which was partially offset by a 4.8 percent decrease in average fuel cost per gallon. Fuel efficiency improved by 2.6 percent compared to the prior year quarter.

Previous wording

Station operations expense. Station operations expense increased $5.5 million or 7.8 percent compared to second quarter 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a 15.7 percent year-over-year increase in total system departures that resulted in a corresponding rise in airport and landing fees, ground handling, and other stations-related expenses. The increase in costs was partially offset by a reduction in passenger compensation resulting from fewer irregular operations events compared to the prior year quarter.

Current wording

Station operations expense. Station operations expense increased 1.1 percent or $0.8 million compared to third quarter 2024. The increase was primarily driven by a 10.4 percent year-over-year increase in total system departures that resulted in a corresponding increase in airport and landing fees, ground handling, and certain other stations-related expenses. These increases were largely offset by a reduction in passenger compensation resulting from fewer irregular operations events compared to the prior year quarter, which included disruptions related to the CrowdStrike outage in July 2024.

Previous wording

Sales and marketing expense. Airline sales and marketing expense decreased $0.8 million or 3.1 percent compared to second quarter 2024, primarily due to a decrease in both sponsorship related expenses and certain online advertising. These decreases were mostly offset by an increase in credit card processing fees, in line with a 3.9 percent increase in passenger revenue.

Current wording

Sales and marketing expense. Airline sales and marketing expense decreased $1.3 million or 5.5 percent compared to third quarter 2024 primarily due to a decrease in sponsorship related expenses.

Previous wording

Aircraft lease rentals. Aircraft lease rental expense increased $5.3 million compared to second quarter 2024. During second quarter 2025, we began to accrue estimated lease return costs for certain aircraft on operating leases related to redeliveries in 2025 and future years.

Current wording

Aircraft lease rentals. Aircraft lease rental expense increased $5.2 million compared to third quarter 2024. The increase is attributable to estimated lease return costs we began to accrue in second quarter 2025 for certain aircraft on operating leases related to redeliveries in 2025 and future years.

Previous wording

Passenger revenue. Passenger revenue increased $23.4 million or 3.9 percent compared to second quarter 2024 driven by an 11.0 percent increase in scheduled service passengers on a 15.8 increase in scheduled service departures. The increase in scheduled service passengers was offset by a 7.1 percent decrease in scheduled service total fare which largely resulted from a 16.9 percent decline in average base fare offset by a 3.4 percent increase in average ancillary fare. The higher ancillary revenue was driven in part by sales of our Allegiant Extra product. Since June 30, 2024, we have configured an additional 50 aircraft with the extra legroom seating for our Allegiant Extra offering, bringing the total number to 76 aircraft as of June 30, 2025. The restoration of functionality around our third bundled product offering, which began in late 2024, also contributed to the increase in average ancillary fare.

Current wording

Passenger revenue. Passenger revenue increased $65.4 million or 3.9 percent compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024, driven by a 9.6 percent increase in scheduled service passengers on a 13.7 percent increase in scheduled service departures. The increase in scheduled service passengers was offset by a 5.5 percent decrease in scheduled service total fare, which largely resulted from a 13.8 percent decline in average base fare due to demand softness in the industry. This decrease was partially offset by a 3.0 percent increase in average fare for air-related charges. Over the last year, revenues for air-related charges have been bolstered by sales of our Allegiant Extra product. Since September 30, 2024, we have configured an additional 44 aircraft with the extra legroom seating for our Allegiant Extra offering, bringing the total number to 83 aircraft as of September 30, 2025. The restoration of functionality around our third bundled product offering, which began in late 2024, has also contributed to ancillary revenue gains over the last year.

Previous wording

Third party products revenue. Third party products revenue decreased $3.5 million or 9.3 percent compared to second quarter 2024. This decrease was primarily driven by a $4.8 million decrease in the marketing component of co-brand revenue as certain bonus compensation was phased out in late 2024. This decrease was partially offset by a $1.1 million increase in revenue from our travel insurance product, which was implemented during first quarter 2024.

Current wording

Third party products revenue. Third party products revenue decreased $1.7 million or 1.5 percent compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024 despite the 9.6 percent increase in scheduled service passengers. The decrease is primarily driven by a $6.0 million decrease in the marketing component of co-brand revenue as certain bonus compensation was phased out in late 2024. The decrease was partially offset by a $2.9 million increase in revenue from our travel insurance product, which was implemented during first quarter 2024.

Airline operating CASM, excluding fuel and airline special charges decreased by 7.8 percent to 7.87 ¢ for the six months ended June 30, 2025 compared to 8.54 ¢ for the same period in 2024. The primary driver of the CASM-ex decrease was a 15.0 percent increase in ASMs as we grew into our existing infrastructure. In particular, we achieved the increased capacity with only a small increase in the average number of aircraft in service and without any increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees. A majority of expense line items were lower on a per ASM basis due in part to the increase in capacity.

A majority of expense line items were lower on a per ASM basis due in part to the increase in capacity.

Previous wording

Airline salaries and benefits expense increased $26.9 million or 6.8 percent year over year.

Previous wording

Salaries and benefits expense at Sunseeker Resort decreased $4.7 million or 17.7 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, due to a 28.9 percent decrease in average full-time equivalent employees as we adjusted staffing to better correspond with the needs of the Resort and outsourced certain functions.

Current wording

Salaries and benefits expense at Sunseeker Resort decreased $10.2 million or 27.1 percent compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This is due to a decrease in average full-time equivalent employees, as certain functions were outsourced and staffing levels were strategically adjusted to align with operational needs. Furthermore, there was approximately one less month of expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 due to the sale of Sunseeker Resort on September 4, 2025.

Current wording

Interest expense, net of interest income and capitalized interest, increased by $17.4 million, or 34.4 percent, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was driven by a $20.5 million decrease in capitalized interest as 15 aircraft from our 737 MAX order have been delivered since September 30, 2024 and the interest expense on debt to acquire those aircraft is no longer capitalized. In addition, we recognized a total of $4.5 million of losses on debt extinguishment related to the early repayment of various debt instruments during 2025, including $3.4 million related to the repayment of the Sunseeker construction loan, which are included within interest expense. The increase was partially offset by an $8.6 million, or 7.3 percent, decrease in interest expense as a result of a lower average outstanding debt balance year over year.

Passenger revenue. Passenger revenue increased $60.2 million or 5.1 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024, driven by a 9.9 percent increase in scheduled service passengers on a 15.0 percent increase in scheduled service departures. The increase in scheduled service passengers was offset by a 4.7 percent decrease in scheduled service total fare which largely resulted from a 13.0 percent decline in average base fare offset by a 4.4 percent increase in average ancillary fare. This higher ancillary revenue was driven in part by sales of our Allegiant Extra product. Since June 30, 2024, we have configured an additional 50 aircraft with the extra legroom seating for our Allegiant Extra offering, bringing the total number to 76 aircraft as of June 30, 2025. We expect our Allegiant Extra product to increase ancillary air revenue as it is deployed in more of our aircraft. The restoration of functionality around our third bundled product offering, which began in late 2024, also contributed to the increase in average ancillary fare.

Previous report — wording carried elsewhere

Third party products revenue. Third party products revenue decreased $1.6 million or 2.3 percent compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease is primarily the result of a $5.3 million decrease in the marketing component of co-brand revenue as certain bonus compensation was phased out in late 2024. This was partially offset by a $2.2 million increase in revenue from our travel insurance product, which was implemented during first quarter 2024 and by a $1.6 million increase in car rental revenue, on a 1.6 percent increase in rental car days sold.
