SkyWest, Inc. Announces Second Quarter 2026 Profit

● Q2 2026 pre-tax income of $139 million, a 29% increase from Q1 2026 with a 9% sequential increase in block hours

● SkyWest secured an agreement to purchase and operate 11 new E175 aircraft for American Airlines

● SkyWest’s Board of Directors approved a $250 million increase to its existing stock repurchase program

● SkyWest took delivery of one new E175 aircraft in Q2 2026 under a previously announced agreement with United Airlines

ST. GEORGE, UTAH, July 23, 2026 -- SkyWest, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYW) (“SkyWest”) today reported financial and operating results for Q2 2026, including net income of $101 million, or $2.54 per diluted share, compared to net income of $120 million, or $2.91 per diluted share, for Q2 2025. The Q2 2026 financial results were negatively impacted by higher fuel cost per gallon in SkyWest’s prorate business compared to Q2 2025.

Commenting on the results, Chip Childs, President and Chief Executive Officer of SkyWest, said, “Our block hour production outlook remains solid, as we prepare to invest in owning and operating 34 more E175s through the end of 2028. We believe that the fleet initiatives and investments we continue to make create long-term value and cash flow that benefits our people, our customers, and our shareholders. I want to thank our team for their steady, good work through an unusually volatile quarter.”

Financial Results

Revenue was $1.1 billion in Q2 2026, up $68 million, or 7%, from $1.0 billion in Q2 2025. SkyWest’s Q2 2026 block hour production increased 5% compared to Q2 2025 and increased 9% compared to Q1 2026, which reflects higher fleet utilization and strong demand.

Operating expenses were $947 million in Q2 2026, up $82 million, or 9%, from $865 million in Q2 2025, driven by an expected increase in incremental direct operating costs associated with higher production and an increase in the cost per gallon for prorate fuel in Q2 2026 compared to Q2 2025.

Capital and Liquidity

SkyWest had $601 million in cash and marketable securities at June 30, 2026, compared to $707 million at December 31, 2025.

Total debt at June 30, 2026 was $2.3 billion, down from $2.4 billion at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, reflecting $122 million in principal debt payments and $24 million in new debt issued during Q2 2026. Capital expenditures during Q2 2026 were $139 million for the purchase of one new E175 aircraft, spare engines, and other fixed assets.

SkyWest repurchased 833,000 shares of its common stock for approximately $75 million during Q2 2026 at an average price per share of $89.55. During the first half of 2026, SkyWest repurchased 1.6 million shares of its common stock for $150 million. As of June 30, 2026, SkyWest had approximately $63 million of remaining availability under its existing stock repurchase program. As announced today, SkyWest’s Board of Directors approved a $250 million increase to the existing stock repurchase program.

Commercial Agreements

SkyWest secured an agreement to purchase and operate 11 new E175 aircraft under a multi-year flying contract for American Airlines (“American”). The 11 new E175 aircraft are expected to replace 11 CRJ700s SkyWest is currently flying under contract with American. SkyWest is scheduled to purchase the 11 E175s from Embraer with anticipated delivery dates in 2026 and 2027.

The table below summarizes anticipated E175 aircraft deliveries during the periods indicated based on currently available information, which is subject to change. During the first half of 2026, SkyWest had two E175 aircraft deliveries, one for Alaska Airlines (“Alaska”) and one for United Airlines (“United”), which are reflected in the table below.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

SkyWest receives certain fixed monthly cash payments under its capacity purchase agreements (“CPAs”) that are attributed to SkyWest’s overhead costs and certain fixed monthly cash payments associated with SkyWest’s aircraft ownership costs. Fixed payments allocated to the non-lease portion are recognized as revenue on a completed block hour basis over the applicable contract term. Fixed payments allocated to the lease portion are accounted for as lease revenue under the CPAs and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable contract term. Fixed monthly cash payments received in excess of revenue recognized during the reporting period are recorded as deferred revenue and revenue recognized in excess of fixed monthly cash payments during the reporting period are recorded as unbilled revenue on SkyWest’s consolidated balance sheet. The following supplemental cash flow schedule summarizes the total revenue recognized in excess of the fixed monthly cash received during the indicated reporting periods and the cumulative difference as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands, unaudited).
