"We finished the year strong with a fourth quarter adjusted airline-only earnings per share of $3.00," stated Gregory Anderson, president and CEO of Allegiant Travel Company. "Thanks to the continued efforts of Team Allegiant, we made strides towards delivering on our three key initiatives outlined during 2024:
- Peak Flying Restoration: Aircraft utilization during the holiday period averaged 9.6 hours per day, a 21% year-over-year increase, matching 2019 peak hours per day. The Team managed operations well, reaching a controllable completion rate of 99.7% in December.
- Product Enhancements: Functionality of our third bundled product offering was restored, boosting ancillary revenue by over $1 per passenger. Combined with Allegiant Extra's premium product success and our strong cobrand credit card program, we achieved a record total ancillary revenue of over $78 per passenger during the fourth quarter.
- Fleet Integration: Three MAX aircraft were delivered this quarter, totaling four in service by year-end. Our robust and effective training program in place is providing for a smooth transition for our pilots to become certified to fly this new fleet type to Allegiant.
"The progress achieved during the quarter on these initiatives helped produce an adjusted airline-only operating margin of 13.2 percent, more than 6.5 points higher than the prior year.
"As we move into 2025, we remain focused on driving improved performance with a clear path ahead. Although our planned 17 percent increase in capacity this year will naturally pressure unit revenues, this growth should be accretive to earnings, as our infrastructure enables us to grow efficiently, and is expected to result in a sizable reduction in our unit costs.
"Capacity growth in 2025 will be achieved by higher aircraft utilization, particularly during peak leisure demand periods. We plan to take delivery of 9 MAX aircraft throughout the year, all of which have much greater earnings potential than the older A320 aircraft they will replace. Furthermore, we continue expanding our premium seating product with 56 aircraft currently fitted with Allegiant Extra, which is enhancing ancillary revenue per passenger. Collectively, these improvements are expected to result in a full-year, airline-only EPS, excluding special charges, of $9.00, an expected increase of over 50 percent compared to 2024.
"We have progressed meaningfully with our comprehensive review of Sunseeker Resort. As a result we have launched a competitive process to sell at least a majority interest in the resort and are reviewing promising indications of interest from several investors. Given the uncertainty around the timing of any potential transaction, we will only be providing guidance for Sunseeker on a quarterly basis. That said, we expect the property will earn positive EBITDA of $2 million during the first quarter, a nearly $7 million EBITDA swing compared to the same quarter in 2024.
"Exiting 2024, we have turned a corner, setting the stage for an important year ahead. We are focused on performance and strong execution. The progress we've made through our key initiatives, ancillary revenue growth, and enhanced efficiency further strengthened our foundation. Thanks to the dedication of Team Allegiant, we are seeing remarkable improvements. Your efforts have once again helped land us near the top of the Wall Street Journal's list of best airlines in 2024. I am excited for the opportunities ahead and look forward to building on this success in 2025."

Guidance, subject to revision
Certain forward-looking financial information in the following tables is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP financial figures may be useful to stakeholders, but should not be considered a substitute for GAAP figures. In reliance on the 'unreasonable efforts' exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of SEC Regulation S-K, a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided for airline-only earnings per share, excluding special charges, consolidated earnings per share, excluding special charges, and Sunseeker EBITDA, excluding special charges. The Company is not able to reconcile these Non-GAAP financial figures without unreasonable effort because the special charge adjustments will not be known until the end of the indicated future periods and any range of projected values would be too broad to be meaningful. As a result, this information would not be significant to investors.

Appendix A
Non-GAAP Presentation
Three and Twelve Months Ended Months Ended December 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
We present adjusted consolidated operating expense and adjusted consolidated operating income, which exclude special charges related to (i) an impairment charge to Sunseeker, (ii) the impact of losses and insurance recoveries incurred primarily as the result of hurricanes and other insured events at Sunseeker and (iii) the airline special charges listed in the table below. We also present adjusted consolidated non-operating expenses, adjusted consolidated income before income taxes, adjusted consolidated net income, and adjusted consolidated diluted earnings per share, which exclude the special charges described above and a one-time loss on the disposition of an investment.
We present adjusted airline-only operating expense and adjusted airline-only operating income, which exclude special charges related to (i) aircraft accelerated depreciation on early retirement of certain airframes, (ii) a ratification bonus for the new collective bargaining agreement for our flight attendants, and (iii) an organizational restructuring of certain administrative personnel. We also present adjusted airline-only non-operating expenses, adjusted airline-only income before income taxes, adjusted airline-only net income, and adjusted airline-only diluted earnings per share, which exclude special charges and a one-time loss on the disposition of an investment.
All of the measures described above are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows them to better gauge the performance of the airline and to compare our results to other airlines. Management believes the exclusion of these items enhances comparability of financial information between periods.
We also present adjusted airline-only CASM, which excludes aircraft fuel expense and special charges. Fuel price volatility impacts the comparability of year over year financial performance as do the airline special charges. We believe the adjustments for fuel expense and airline special charges allow investors to better understand our non-fuel costs and related performance.
Consolidated and airline-only earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization ("Consolidated EBITDA" and "Airline EBITDA"), adjusted Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted Airline EBITDA, estimated adjusted airline-only and adjusted consolidated earnings per share, and Sunseeker estimated adjusted EBITDA, as presented in this press release, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
We define "EBITDA" as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. The adjusted EBITDA measures also exclude special charges and a one-time loss on the disposition of an investment. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with this definition may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate EBITDA in the same manner.
We use EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and liquidity, and these are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe these presentations of EBITDA are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and make it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures. EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool. These limitations include the following:
- EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments to purchase capital equipment;
- EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service principal or interest payments on our debt;
- although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets that we currently depreciate and amortize will likely have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect the cash required to fund such replacements; and
- other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.
Presented below is a quantitative reconciliation of these adjusted numbers to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure.
The SEC has adopted rules (Regulation G) regulating the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Because of our use of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Regulation G requires us to include in this press release a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measures, which are operating expenses, operating income (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share, and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. Our utilization of non-GAAP measurements is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating expenses, operating income (loss), income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss), earnings (loss) per share, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our use of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies in the airline and travel industry. The reconciliation of each of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure for the periods is indicated below.

| In 2024 and 2023, we recognized special charges for aircraft accelerated depreciation related to our revised fleet plan. Additionally in 2024, we recognized charges for a ratification bonus paid to flight attendants in connection with our new collective bargaining agreement and an organizational restructuring of certain administrative personnel. The accelerated depreciation, ratification bonus, and restructuring expenses are sometimes referred to as "airline special charges."

| In 2024 and 2023, we recognized as special charges the full amount of estimated property damage to Sunseeker Resort due to weather and other insured events less the amount of recognized insurance recoveries through the end of the applicable period. Additionally, in fourth quarter 2024, the Company recorded an impairment charge for Sunseeker Resort and the related Aileron Golf Course which is also recorded as a special charge on the Income Statement. We sometimes refer to all of these charges as "Sunseeker special charges."
