Current report

In addition to our application to the FAA to operate the two airlines under a SOC, we are also focused on combining the two companies' passenger platforms into a single passenger reservation system ("PSS"). Once the SOC is granted by the FAA and the combined PSS is implemented (which is currently expected in 2028), we believe we will be able to begin to capture more of the revenue and cost synergies sought from the transaction.

Current report

*Sunseeker numbers only through September 4, 2025 when the Resort was sold

Current report

Allegiant Air fixed fee revenue increased $1.8 million or 9.4 percent, primarily driven by a 16.1 percent increase in revenue per departure, partially offset by a modest decrease in charter departures during the quarter.

Current report

Sun Country standalone operating revenue comparison. In comparison with Sun Country standalone (pre-acquisition) performance in third quarter 2025, Sun Country scheduled service passenger revenue was up 25.3 percent on a 14.1 percent decrease in scheduled service ASMs as TRASM increased by 27.2 percent and load factor increased by 50 basis points. Fixed fee revenue was up 7.4 percent on a 13.8 percent increase in revenue per departure and cargo revenue was up 19.0 percent due to a higher number of aircraft in cargo service.

Current report

Sun Country CASM, excluding fuel, special charges, and cargo expenses, was 9.86 ¢ in third quarter 2026 and drove a 0.20 ¢ spread between Allegiant Air and Consolidated CASM. In comparison with Sun Country standalone (pre-acquisition) CASM in third quarter 2025, Sun Country CASM, excluding fuel, special charges, and cargo expenses in third quarter 2026 increased by 16.5 percent as cost per ASM in most line items increased due to a 13.4 percent decrease in capacity.

Current report

The remaining increase of $74.9 million was primarily driven by a 55.0 percent increase in Allegiant Air's average fuel cost per gallon to $3.97 from $2.56 in the prior year quarter, primarily attributable to geopolitical unrest in the Middle East. The increase was partially offset by a 3.5 percent decrease in fuel gallons consumed, consistent with a 3.4 percent decrease in total system ASMs.

Current report

The remaining increase of $6.9 million was primarily driven by airport fee refunds received in the prior year that were not present in the current year period, the transition of certain station positions to outsourced operations, and other stations-related costs. These increases were offset by a 3.5 percent decrease in departures and lower Allegiant Air building rent and aircraft parking costs due to the closure of certain bases.

Current report

Allegiant Air depreciation and amortization expense decreased slightly as a result of aircraft and engine retirements, partially offset by new aircraft placed into service.

Current report

Allegiant Air maintenance and repairs expense decreased slightly, consistent with a 3.3 percent decrease in scheduled service departures.

Current report

Other operating expense. Other operating expenses increased $18.7 million or 55.5 percent, of which an increase of $20.7 million was contributed by Sun Country, which was partially offset by an $8.9 million decrease resulting from the sale of Sunseeker Resort.

Current report

The remaining $6.8 million increase was primarily attributable to lower net gains on the sale of flight equipment at Allegiant Air compared to the prior year quarter.

Current report

During third quarter 2025, special charges included $0.6 million of asset write-downs and transaction-related adjustments associated with the sale of the Resort, net of final insurance recoveries related to prior weather and associated events, and $2.9 million of accelerated depreciation associated with airframes identified for early retirement.

Current report

*Sun Country numbers only after May 13, 2026, and Sunseeker numbers only through September 4, 2025 when the Resort was sold

Current report

Allegiant Air fixed fee revenue remained relatively flat year-over-year, despite a modest decrease in fixed fee contract departures during the period.

Current report

The remaining $4.9 million increase was primarily attributable to lower net gains on the sale of flight equipment compared to the prior year period.

Current report

The following tables set forth our operating statistics for the nine-month periods indicated. Year over year changes for many line items are not representative of the extent of the differences because Sun Country performance is included in the 2026 period from and after May 13, 2026 but not in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2025.

Previous wording

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, 2026, 17 airframes have been retired, with seven additional retirements scheduled between July 2026 and January 2027. The accelerated depreciation resulting from the revised estimated useful life of these aircraft is recorded as a special charge in the consolidated financial statements, including $1.3 million recognized in second quarter 2026. The engines from these aircraft will be retained for future overhaul cost mitigation and may be sold on an opportunistic basis if we determine the engine has no better economic use in our operating fleet.

Previous wording

As of June 30, 2026, and with the Sun Country acquisition, we were selling 675 routes versus 579 as of the same date in 2025. Network growth in the future will continue to be affected by high fuel prices, the timing of aircraft deliveries, aircraft in heavy maintenance, crew availability, airport construction and disruption, trends in domestic, leisure air travel demand and other factors such as macroeconomic conditions and geopolitical unrest. We have identified over 1,400 incremental domestic nonstop routes as opportunities for future network growth, of which over 75 percent currently have no non-stop service. The Allegiant Air network included 90 origination cities and 34 leisure destinations, as of June 30, 2026.

Previous wording

In May 2026, we closed on our agreement to acquire Sun Country. We believe the transaction aligns with our long-term strategic objectives and is expected to enhance our network breadth, operational flexibility, and ability to respond to demand shifts, while supporting the passenger and cargo operations of both airlines. The acquisition of Sun Country involves the integration of Sun Country’s business with our existing business, which is a complex, costly, and time-consuming process. Integration of the two companies is underway.

Current wording

In May 2026, we completed our acquisition of Sun Country. Integration of Sun Country’s business with our existing business is underway and is expected to be a complex, costly, and time-consuming process. We believe the combination will enhance our network breadth, operational flexibility, and ability to respond to demand shifts, while supporting the passenger and charter operations of both airlines.

Previous wording

Both companies continue to operate as separate airlines under FAA rules. We have applied with the FAA for a single operating certificate which we currently expect will be obtained in 2028. Our ability to combine operations will be limited until we receive a single operating certificate and there are joint collective bargaining agreements in place with the various unionized work groups.

Previous wording

The cost of fuel, including refining costs and applicable crack spreads, remains volatile, and is influenced by numerous economic and geopolitical factors beyond our control or prediction, including geopolitical conflict and war. The recent escalation of hostilities in the Middle East has significantly impacted the market prices of products that are derived from crude oil. Our second quarter fuel expense was $307.7 million or $4.14 per gallon, which is 71.1 percent higher than the $2.42 per gallon we paid in second quarter 2025. As hostilities and uncertainty continue in the Middle East, we may continue to see significant increases in fuel costs that will materially impact our overall cost structure, operating results and profitability. We have not used financial derivative products to hedge against fuel price volatility, nor do we have any plans to do so in the future.

Current wording

The cost of fuel, including refining costs and applicable crack spreads, remains volatile, and is influenced by numerous economic and geopolitical factors beyond our control or prediction, including geopolitical conflict and war. Our third quarter fuel expense was $293.6 million or $3.98 per gallon, which is 55.5 percent higher than the $2.56 per gallon Allegiant Air paid in third quarter 2025. As hostilities in the Middle East continue to significantly impact the market prices of products that are derived from crude oil, we may continue to experience elevated fuel costs that will materially impact our overall cost structure, operating results and profitability. We have not used financial derivative products to hedge against fuel price volatility, nor do we have any plans to do so in the future.

Previous wording

Although air travel demand in the first half of 2026 has been strong, demand could be impacted in the future by macroeconomic, geopolitical, and airline industry events as it has in the past. During 2026, we strategically reduced off-peak day of week capacity and, in turn, increased peak day ASMs on fewer total aircraft year-over year. For Allegiant Air, this contributed to a 4.0 percentage point increase in load factor on a 6.2 percent decrease in scheduled service capacity in second quarter 2026. Our unique model is predicated around expanding and contracting capacity to meet seasonal leisure travel demands. We expect to continue to manage our peak period utilization as the demand environment allows.

Current wording

Although air travel demand throughout 2026 has been strong, demand could be impacted in the future by macroeconomic, geopolitical, and airline industry events as it has in the past. Throughout 2026 at Allegiant Air, we strategically reduced off-peak day of week capacity and, in turn, increased peak day ASMs on fewer average total aircraft year-over year. For Allegiant Air, this contributed to a 2.7 percentage point increase in load factor on a 3.2 percent decrease in scheduled service capacity in third quarter 2026. Our unique model is predicated around expanding and contracting capacity to meet seasonal leisure travel demands. We expect to continue to manage our peak period utilization as the demand environment allows.

We have signed an agreement and amendments with Boeing to purchase 50 newly manufactured 737 MAX aircraft with options to purchase up to an additional 80 737 MAX aircraft. We have taken delivery of 20 737 MAX aircraft from this order through June 30, 2026, and all of these aircraft are currently in revenue service. We believe this new aircraft purchase is complementary with our low-cost strategy based on our intent to retain ownership of the aircraft, the longer useful life for depreciation purposes, and expected fuel savings and operational reliability from the use of these new aircraft. Our 737 MAX aircraft represented approximately 21% of our ASMs in second quarter 2026 as compared to 11% during the same period 2025.

Consolidated revenue and expenses all increased compared to the prior period due to the incorporation of Sun Country's operations into the Company. As a result, the below discussion of changes to our revenue and expenses compared to the prior year largely focuses on material factors independent of the acquisition.

Current wording

As the acquisition of Sun Country was completed on May 13, 2026, the three months ended September 30, 2026 include Sun Country's results for the full three month period, while the nine months ended September 30, 2026 include Sun Country's results from May 13, 2026 through September 30, 2026, which we also refer to as the "stub period." The comparative periods in 2025 do not include Sun Country's results. Consolidated revenue and expenses all increased compared to the prior year periods due to the incorporation of Sun Country's operations into the Company.

These increases were slightly offset by a decrease in hotel room revenue.

Current wording

The remaining increase is attributable to continued growth in the marketing component of Allegiant Air’s co-brand remuneration, along with moderate growth in third party travel insurance and rental car sales.

Previous wording

Fixed fee contract revenue. Fixed fee contract revenue increased $28.7 million, all of which was attributable to Sun Country during the stub period.

Previous wording

The following table presents airline only operating unit costs on a per available seat mile (ASM) basis, defined as Operating CASM, for the indicated periods. Excluding fuel on a per ASM basis provides management and investors the ability to measure and monitor our cost performance absent fuel price volatility. Both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors beyond our control. We also show Operating CASM excluding fuel costs, special charges, and cargo expenses. Excluding fuel costs, special charges, and cargo expenses allows management and investors to better compare our airline unit costs with those of other airlines. Sun Country cargo expenses (which are included in salaries and benefits, station operations, depreciation and amortization, maintenance and repairs, and other expenses in our consolidated statements of income) are excluded as those expenses do not drive ASMs.

Allegiant Air operating CASM, excluding fuel and special charges, increased 6.4 percent to 8.17 ¢ in second quarter 2026 from 7.68 ¢ in second quarter 2025. The increase was primarily driven by a 6.8 percent decrease in Allegiant Air capacity compared to the prior year quarter, which resulted in higher unit costs across most expense categories. CASM-ex was also impacted by the year-over-year expense increases discussed below.
