NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 —Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegiant Travel Company (the “Company”) and its majority-owned operating subsidiaries. The Company's investments in unconsolidated affiliates, which are 50 percent or less owned, are accounted for under the equity or cost method, and are insignificant to the consolidated financial statements. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year due to the seasonal nature of leisure travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, and other macroeconomic factors.
The Company has reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation.
Note 2 —Special Charges
Airline
The Company has identified airframes for early retirement to coincide with 737 MAX aircraft deliveries as scheduled under an amendment to the Company's agreement with The Boeing Company signed in September 2023. To date, the Company has retired a total of 16 airframes under this plan. The remaining airframes are to be retired between May 2026 and January 2027. The accelerated depreciation on these airframes resulting from a change in the estimated useful life is recorded as a special charge in the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
In fourth quarter 2025, the Company committed to a plan to redevelop certain internal-use software to better suit operational needs. The redevelopment is expected to be completed by fourth quarter 2026. As a result, the estimated useful life of the existing internal-use software asset was shortened, and the accelerated amortization resulting from the change in estimated useful life is recorded as a special charge during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
On January 11, 2026, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger to acquire Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. ("Sun Country"). During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company incurred costs directly related to merger activities, which primarily consist of legal and professional fees. These costs are presented as special charges in the Company's consolidated statements of income. The proposed acquisition is more fully discussed in Note 11.
During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company recorded an allowance for credit losses related to a note receivable arising from the Company's financing of the purchase oftwo flight simulators by a third party in 2016 and 2017. The counterparty to the note receivable declared bankruptcy during first quarter 2026, which led the Company to conclude that a credit loss is probable for the full amount outstanding. The Company continues to evaluate the matter, and the allowance may be adjusted as additional information becomes available.
Sunseeker Resort
Sunseeker Resort at Charlotte Harbor (the "Resort" or "Sunseeker Resort") was damaged by weather events occurring between 2022 and 2024. The Company considers these events unusual and has accounted for their costs and related insurance recoveries as special charges. Estimated losses were recorded as special charges at the time of the event and offset by insurance recoveries when approved for payment. No further insurance recoveries are expected.

Note 3 —Revenue Recognition
Passenger Revenue
Passenger revenue is the most significant category in the Company's reported operating revenues, as outlined below:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | 2026 | 2025 |
| Scheduled service | $338,299 | $283,368 |

| Loyalty redemptions | 20,850 | 18,103 |
| Total passenger revenue | $671,799 | $616,750 |
Sales of passenger tickets not yet flown are recorded in air traffic liability. As of March 31, 2026, the air traffic liability balance was $488.8 million, of which approximately $445.5 million was related to forward bookings, with the remaining $43.3 million related to credit vouchers for future travel.
The normal contract term of passenger tickets is 12 months and passenger revenue associated with future travel will principally be recognized within this time frame. Of the $363.3 million that was recorded in the air traffic liability balance as of December 31, 2025, approximately 76.1 percent was recognized into passenger revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
The Company periodically evaluates the estimated amount of credit vouchers expected to expire unused and any adjustment is removed from air traffic liability and included in passenger revenue in the period in which the evaluation is complete.
Loyalty redemptions
In relation to the travel component of the Allways Rewards® co-brand credit card contract and the Allways Rewards® loyalty program, the Company has a performance obligation to its members to honor future travel award redemptions at the airline. The accounting and recognition for the loyalty program redemptions are discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's annual 10-K filing.
The following table presents the activity of the co-branded credit card and the loyalty program as of the dates indicated:
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||

| Balance at March 31(2) | $76,501 | $80,388 |
(1) Points are combined in one homogeneous pool and are not separately identifiable. Revenue from points redeemed includes both points that were part of the loyalty program liability at the beginning of the period, as well as points that were issued during the period.
(2) The current portion of the loyalty program liability represents the estimate of revenue to be recognized in the next 12 months based on historical trends, with the remaining balance reflected in noncurrent liabilities expected to be recognized into revenue in periods thereafter.
Third Party Products Revenue
Third party products revenue primarily includes revenue associated with our loyalty program, which is comprised of the marketing component of point sales to the co-brand credit card provider and other marketing related payments which totaled $24.1 million and $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The accounting and recognition for the loyalty program marketing services are discussed in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the Company's annual 10-K filing. The remaining amounts included within third party products revenue relate to travel insurance, hotel rooms, rental cars and ticket attractions.
Resort Revenue
The sale of Sunseeker Resort was completed on September 4, 2025. As such, only the revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2025 are presented in the table below:

| Food and beverage | 9,962 |

Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
The Company evaluates ownership, contractual lease arrangements and other interests in entities to determine if they are variable interest entities ("VIEs") based on the nature and extent of those interests. The Company consolidates a VIE when, among other criteria, it has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance as well as the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE, thus making the Company the primary beneficiary of the VIE.
In March 2026, the Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, entered into similarly structured agreements with trusts to borrow $20.5 million collateralized by aircraft engines. The trusts were funded at inception. The borrowings bear interest at fixed rates and are payable in monthly installments through March 2031, at which time the Company will have purchase options at fixed amounts.
PDP Financing
In November 2023, the Company entered into a pre-delivery deposit financing facility to borrow up to $158.0 million, secured by the Company's purchase rights for certain Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. The facility bears a floating interest rate based on SOFR and was originally due upon delivery of each aircraft or no later than June 30, 2025. In April 2025, the Company entered into an amendment to extend the maturity date of the agreement to no later than March 2027. The Company drew a total of $132.6 million on the facility between November 2023 and February 2024. As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding principal balance had been fully repaid, and the facility had undrawn borrowing capacity of $25.1 million.
Revolving Credit Facilities
In March 2021, the Company entered into a revolving credit facility, which, as amended to date, entitled it to borrow up to $100.0 million. In April 2025, the agreement was amended to extend the maturity date to April 2028. The borrowing ability under the facility is based on the value of the aircraft and engines placed into the collateral pool. Amounts drawn under the facility will bear interest at a floating rate based on SOFR. As of March 31, 2026, the facility remained undrawn.
In August 2022, the Company entered into a credit agreement that provided a senior secured revolving loan facility of $75.0 million, with an original term of 57 months. The facility is secured by the same collateral that secures the 2027 Senior Secured Notes, and notes under the facility will bear interest at a floating rate based on SOFR. In December 2025, the Company amended the revolving loan facility to increase the total commitment to $150.0 million and extend the maturity date to December 5, 2030, subject to acceleration based on the balance and status of the 2027 Notes. As of March 31, 2026, the facility remained undrawn.
Note 6 —Income Taxes
The Company recorded a $23.5 million income tax expense at a 35.7 percent effective tax rate and a $9.8 million income tax expense at a 23.5 percent effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2026 differed from the statutory federal income tax rate of 21.0 percent primarily due to state income taxes and the impact of permanent tax differences such as executive compensation deduction limitations.
Note 7 —Fair Value Measurements
The Company utilizes the market approach to measure the fair value of its financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. The assets classified as Level 2 primarily utilize quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources including transactions involving identical or comparable assets and models utilizing market observable inputs for valuation of these securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

None of the Company's long-term debt is publicly traded. The Company has determined the estimated fair value of all this debt to be Level 3, as certain inputs used to determine the fair value of these agreements are unobservable and, therefore, could be sensitive to changes in inputs. The Company utilizes the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of Level 3 debt.
Carrying value and estimated fair value of long-term debt, including current maturities and without reduction for related costs, are as follows:
| As of March 31, 2026 · As of December 31, 2025 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Carrying Value | Estimated Fair Value | Carrying Value | Estimated Fair Value | Fair Value Level |
| Long-term debt | $1,411,170 | $1,349,621 | $1,413,205 | $1,424,251 | 3 |
Due to the short-term nature, carrying amounts of cash, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value.
Note 8 —Earnings per Share
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant to the two-class method. Under this method, the Company attributes net income to two classes: common stock and unvested restricted stock. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock.
Diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two methods. Under both methods, the exercise of employee stock options is assumed using the treasury stock method. The assumption of vesting of restricted stock, however, differs:
Assume vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method.
Assume unvested restricted stock awards are not vested, and allocate earnings to common shares and unvested restricted stock awards using the two-class method.
The following table sets forth the computation of net income per share, on a basic and diluted basis, for the periods indicated (share count and dollar amounts other than per-share amounts in the table are in thousands):
| Three Months Ended March 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | |

Note 9 —Contingencies
The Company is subject to certain legal and administrative actions it considers routine to its business activities. The Company believes the ultimate outcome of any potential and pending legal or administrative matters will not have a material adverse impact on its financial position, liquidity or results of operations.
In 2025, the Company received a formal assessment of $9.9 million from the Transportation Security Administration ("TSA") related to the remittance of TSA security fees for the period covering October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022. The Company disputes the TSA's interpretation of the applicable regulations and believes the assessment is without merit. The Company currently has a pending case in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit regarding this matter. Oral arguments were held on April 15, 2026, and the court decision is currently pending. Based on the information that is currently available, the Company does not believe a loss in this matter is probable and no corresponding liability has been recorded. The Company does not expect that any potential liability arising for periods subsequent to the 2019 to 2022 audit assessment will be material to the consolidated financial statements.
Note 10 —Segments
Operating segments are components of a company for which separate financial and operating information is regularly evaluated and reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") and is used to allocate resources and analyze performance. The Company's CODM is the CEO, who assesses segment performance and makes resource allocation decisions using information about each operating segment's measure of profit or loss.
During 2025, the CODM reviewed separate financial information and made resource allocation decisions for the Company'stwo operating segments, Airline and Sunseeker Resort, using operating income and pretax income as the measures of segment profit or loss. Subsequent to the sale of Sunseeker Resort in 2025, the Company is managed as a single Airline operating segment and the CODM views net income as the measure of segment profit or loss.
Airline Segment
The Airline segment operates as a single business unit and includes all scheduled service air transportation, ancillary air-related products and services, third party products and services, fixed fee contract air transportation and other airline-related revenue. Scheduled service and fixed fee air transportation services have similar operating margins, economic characteristics and production processes (check-in, baggage handling and flight services) which target the same class of customers and are subject to the same regulatory environment. As a result, the Company believes its airline activities operate underone reportable segment and does not separately track expenses for scheduled service and fixed fee air transportation services.
Sunseeker Resort Segment
The Company's consolidated financial statements for 2025 include the operating results of Sunseeker Resort through the completion of the sale of the Resort's assets on September 4, 2025. The Sunseeker Resort segment was operated as a single business unit and included hotel rooms and suites for occupancy, group meeting facilities, food and beverage options, Aileron Golf Course and other Resort amenities.
Segment profit or loss, revenues, significant segment expenses, and asset information for each of the Company's operating segments are set forth below. Required segment information for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and as of December 31, 2025, is presented in the Company's consolidated statements of income and balance sheets.
