ALLEGIANT TRAVEL COMPANY THIRD QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
Third quarter 2025 GAAP diluted loss per share of $(2.41)
Third quarter 2025 adjusted airline-only loss per share of $(1.64) (1)(2)
Third quarter 2025 adjusted loss per share of $(2.09) (1)(2)
LAS VEGAS, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Allegiant Travel Company (NASDAQ: ALGT) today reported the below financial results for third quarter 2025, as well as comparisons to the prior year.
"The airline has always been Allegiant's central focus, and I'm proud of how Team Allegiant continues to execute at a high level," stated Gregory Anderson, chief executive officer of Allegiant Travel Company. "At an airline, everything begins and ends with running a safe and reliable operation. Impressively, we maintained our industry-leading controllable completion factor of 99.9 percent during the quarter while flying nearly 33,000 departures and transporting 4.6 million passengers - both marking third-quarter records.
"Our outstanding operational performance is reinforced by our customers, as our net promoter scores are near all-time highs, reaffirming the loyalty and strength of our brand. This is further evidenced by our recognition — for the seventh consecutive year — in USA Today's Readers' Choice Awards for Best Airline Credit Card, and for the second consecutive year as Best Frequent Flyer Program.
"During the third quarter, which is our seasonally weakest quarter of the year, steady booking improvements led to a moderate operating loss, but at the favorable end of our guided range. Our focus on cost discipline was highlighted again this quarter, with CASM excluding fuel down 4.7 percent over the prior year. Year-to-date, the team has achieved an adjusted CASM, excluding fuel decrease of nearly seven percent.
"Turning toward the fourth quarter, leisure booking momentum has continued, with holiday demand shaping up nicely. We now expect a double-digit fourth-quarter operating margin, yielding a full-year airline-only operating margin of around seven percent. As a result, we're raising our airline-only full-year EPS guidance to more than $4.35 per share.
"Throughout 2025, the team has executed very well on our key initiatives, which include restoring peak utilization, expanding the rollout of our Allegiant Extra premium product, further integrating our MAX aircraft - ending the year with 16 in service - and realizing benefits from our Navitaire enhancements. Combined with disciplined cost control, these factors position us well for margin expansion and long-term value creation.
"I want to thank our entire team for their hard work and dedication, which have meaningfully strengthened our foundation as the leading leisure carrier in the U.S. Developing top talent is key to sustained value creation, and I am therefore pleased to announce the promotion of Robert "BJ" Neal to president, where he will continue to serve as chief financial officer. Over his 18 years at Allegiant, serving in various roles, BJ's leadership has been instrumental in our success. His strategic and operational expertise will be vital as we continue strengthening and growing our core airline business."

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 adjusted airline-only earnings per share, adjusted consolidated earnings per share, and adjusted airline-only operating margin. 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.

The Company's unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. The basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods presented reflect the two-class method mandated by ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." The two-class method adjusts both the net income and the shares used in the calculation. Application of the two-class method did not have a significant impact on the basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented.

The Company's unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. The basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods presented reflect the two-class method mandated by ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." The two-class method adjusts both the net income and the shares used in the calculation. Application of the two-class method did not have a significant impact on the basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented.

Appendix A
Non-GAAP Presentation
Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025 and 2024
(Unaudited)
We present adjusted consolidated operating expense and adjusted consolidated operating income (loss), which exclude special charges related to (i) the impact of losses and insurance recoveries incurred primarily as the result of hurricanes and other insured events at Sunseeker, (ii) a writedown loss and other charges related to the sale of Sunseeker, and (iii) the airline special charges listed in the table below. We also present adjusted consolidated interest expense, adjusted consolidated income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted consolidated net income (loss), and adjusted consolidated diluted earnings (loss) per share, which exclude the special charges described above and losses on extinguishment of debt.
We present adjusted airline-only operating expense, adjusted airline-only operating income (loss), adjusted airline-only income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted airline-only net income (loss), and adjusted airline-only diluted earnings (loss) per share which exclude special charges related to (i) aircraft accelerated depreciation on early retirement of certain airframes, (ii) corporate restructuring costs and (iii) the flight attendant ratification bonus, and losses on extinguishment of debt.
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 (loss) 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, 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 losses on the extinguishment of debt. 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:
Presented below is a quantitative reconciliation of these adjusted numbers (other than the estimated earnings per share figures) 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), interest expense, 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), interest expense, 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 2025 and 2024, we recognized certain expenses as special charges related to Airline activities (including accelerated depreciation on airframes identified for early retirement, ratification bonuses, and corporate restructuring costs), the sale of Sunseeker Resort and Aileron Golf Course, and weather-related damages at Sunseeker Resort (net of recoveries). The adjusted numbers in this earnings release exclude the effect of these special charges.
(3)
In 2025, the Company incurred losses on debt extinguishment related to prepayment of debt facilities. These are added back in the adjusted results where applicable.
