Republic Airways Announces Third Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Resilient operational performance and stable financial results despite disruptive weather

Pre-tax income of $49.2 million and adjusted pre-tax income of $55.6 million

Net income per diluted share of $0.75 and adjusted net income per diluted share of $0.85

Raised full year 2026 guidance

CARMEL, Indiana, October 29, 2026 —(BUSINESS WIRE)—Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: RJET) (the “Company” or “Republic”) today reported financial results for the third quarter of 2026 and raised its outlook for the full year 2026.

“We delivered strong third quarter financial results with revenues increasing 34% and strong profit margins,” said Matt Koscal, President and Chief Executive Officer. “I want to thank our team for their continued dedication and execution throughout an eventful summer travel season, achieving a 99.96% controllable completion factor while making meaningful progress on the integration and harmonization of Mesa. With strong cash generation, improved leverage, and our full-year outlook improved, we remain focused on disciplined execution and delivering long-term value for our shareholders.”

The Company’s consolidated results reported in the third quarter of 2026 include the results of Mesa Airlines, Inc. (“Mesa”), while comparable prior periods exclude any Mesa results because the merger of Republic Airways Holdings Inc. and Mesa Air Group, Inc. was consummated on November 25, 2025 (the “Merger”).

Third quarter 2026 GAAP financial highlights:

•Revenues of $553.5 million

•Operating income of $63.2 million with an operating margin1 of 11.4%

•Pre-tax income of $49.2 million with a pre-tax margin1 of 8.9%

•Net income of $34.6 million with a net income margin1 of 6.3%

•Net income per diluted common share of $0.75

•Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities of $290.1 million

•Total debt and lease liabilities of $1.2 billion

Third quarter 2026 Non-GAAP financial highlights:

1 Operating margin %, pre-tax margin %, and net income margin % are expressed as the related metric as a percentage of revenues.

•Adjusted operating income2 of $69.9 million with an adjusted operating margin2 of 12.6%

•Adjusted pre-tax income2 of $55.6 million with an adjusted pre-tax margin2 of 10.0%

•Adjusted net income2 per diluted common share of $0.85

•Adjusted EBITDAR2 of $106.8 million

Strategic and operational highlights:

•Reached an agreement with American Airlines, Inc. (“American Airlines”) to place five previously unassigned aircraft into service in December 2026

•Completed 114,876 flights and produced block hours of 215,979 for Q3 2026

•Achieved completion factor for Q3 2026 of 94.59%, and a controllable completion factor (excluding weather, air traffic control, and Partner-requested cancellations) of 99.96% for Q3 2026

•Substantial progress on Merger integration activities - core support functions are substantially complete and relocated to Carmel, IN, and harmonization process of operational policies and procedures with the Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) is on track

Financial results

Results are compared to the prior year quarterly period unless otherwise noted.

Revenues were $553.5 million, up $141.5 million, or 34.3%. The increase is primarily attributable to the 26.2% increase in block hour production, driven by the addition of 60 E175 aircraft operating for United Airlines, following the Merger. Additionally, pass-through revenues increased $49.1 million, primarily due to shop-level maintenance for the Mesa harmonization.

Operating expenses were $490.3 million, up $105.2 million, or 27.3%. The increase is primarily attributable to the expenses associated with the increase in flying operations with the 60 E175 aircraft and related associates following the Merger.

Balance sheet, cash, and liquidity

The Company generated $79.0 million of operating cash flow during the third quarter of 2026. As of September 30, 2026, the Company had $290.1 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.

2 Adjusted operating income and margin %, adjusted pre-tax income and margin %, adjusted net income, EBITDAR, adjusted EBITDAR, adjusted net debt, and leverage are non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted operating margin % and adjusted pre-tax margin % are expressed as the related metric as a percentage of revenues. For additional information about the non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release and a reconciliation to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measure, see the “Non-GAAP Financial Information” section within this press release.

Total capital expenditures inclusive of aircraft, rotable spare parts, and pre-delivery deposits for aircraft on order totaled $28.7 million for the third quarter of 2026. The Company has 26 additional E175 aircraft on order with Embraer, with scheduled deliveries expected from 2028 through 2030.

Total debt and operating lease liabilities at September 30, 2026 were $1.2 billion. As of September 30, 2026, the Company’s adjusted net debt2 was $863.0 million, and Q3 2026 adjusted EBITDAR2 was $106.8 million, resulting in trailing twelve-month leverage2 of 2.2x.

Mesa Merger integration update

The Company made significant progress integrating key support functions including maintenance and supply chain operations during the third quarter of 2026. In addition, we moved Mesa’s operations center to Carmel, Indiana and continued our work to streamline several operational workstreams that will pave the way for operations under a single operating certificate.

We expect the integration process to conclude in the first half of 2028.

2026 guidance

The Company is updating the following full year 2026 guidance, previously provided in the Q2 2026 update on July 30, 2026:

Company issued guidance: July 30, 2026 update October 29, 2026 update

Revenues ~ $2.1 billion No change

Block hour production ~ 880,000 No change

Adjusted EBITDAR2

$395 - $405 million $410 - $420 million

Capital expenditures, net of new debt ~ $90 million No change

Debt repayments ~ $165 million No change

Adjusted diluted EPS Not provided > $3.30

A reconciliation of the forward-looking guidance for the non-GAAP metric of adjusted EBITDAR and adjusted diluted EPS cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because of the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the various adjusting items necessary for such reconciliation that have not yet occurred, are out of our control, or cannot be reasonably

predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to assess the probable significance of the

unavailable information, which could have a material impact on its future GAAP financial

results.

Earnings call

The Company will host a live webcast to discuss Q3 2026 financial results on Thursday, October 29, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. EDT. The webcast link and related presentation materials are available at investor.rjet.com. A replay of the webcast will be available shortly after the webcast.
