Insights
Alaska Air delivered strong Q2 results with $1.78 adjusted EPS beating expectations while expanding margins and advancing integration benefits.
Alaska Air Group reported an impressive second quarter with adjusted EPS of $1.78, surpassing both Wall Street expectations and their own guidance range of $1.15-$1.65. This performance was driven by disciplined execution across their core business and accelerating benefits from the Hawaiian Airlines integration.
The company achieved a GAAP pretax margin of 6.4% and an adjusted pretax margin of 8.0%, reflecting the strength of their business model even amidst industry challenges. Particularly noteworthy is that Hawaiian Airlines delivered its first profitable quarter since 2019, with an 11-point margin expansion versus the prior year.
Revenue diversification remains a key strength, with 49% of revenue generated outside the main cabin. Premium revenue grew 5% year-over-year, cargo revenue surged 34%, and loyalty program cash remuneration increased 5%. This diversification creates resilience against typical airline industry cycles and pricing pressures.
The company's proactive capacity management deserves attention - they've reduced off-peak flying by 2 points in both Q3 and Q4, which should be margin accretive. This disciplined approach to network optimization demonstrates management's focus on profitability over pure growth.
For the full year, Alaska expects adjusted EPS to exceed $3.25, while Q3 guidance is set at $1.00-$1.40, including a 10-cent impact from an IT outage. The company maintained $2.1 billion in unrestricted cash while returning significant capital to shareholders through $428 million in share repurchases during the quarter.
The Hawaiian Airlines integration appears to be proceeding better than expected, with synergy benefits materializing faster than anticipated. Management reaffirmed their commitment to delivering $1 billion in incremental profit by 2027 through their Alaska Accelerate plan, which suggests confidence in their integration roadmap and commercial strategy.
The airline's international expansion, including their first transatlantic route (Seattle to Rome) and new service to Tokyo, represents a significant strategic evolution that should drive long-term revenue growth and network advantages. This international growth is being supported by fleet expansions, including orders for twelve 737-10s and five additional 787-9s.

Note A:Pursuant to Regulation G, we are providing reconciliations of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis. We believe that consideration of these non-GAAP financial measures may be important to investors for the following reasons:
- By excluding certain costs from our unit metrics, we believe that we have better visibility into the results of operations. Our industry is highly competitive and is characterized by high fixed costs, so even a small reduction in non-fuel operating costs can result in a significant improvement in operating results. We believe that all
U.S. carriers are similarly impacted by changes in jet fuel costs over the long run, so it is important for management and investors to understand the impact of company-specific cost drivers which are more controllable by management. We adjust for expenses related directly to our freighter aircraft operations, including those costs incurred under the ATSA with Amazon, to allow for better comparability to other carriers that do not operate freighter aircraft. We also exclude certain special charges as they are unusual or nonrecurring in nature and adjusting for these expenses allows management and investors to better understand our cost performance. - CASMex is one of the most important measures used by management and by the Air Group Board of Directors in assessing quarterly and annual cost performance. CASMex is also a measure commonly used by industry analysts, and we believe it is the basis by which they have historically compared our airline to others in the industry. The measure is also the subject of frequent questions from investors.
- Adjusted pretax income is an important metric for the employee incentive plan, which covers the majority of Air Group employees.
- Disclosure of the individual impact of certain noted items provides investors the ability to measure and monitor performance both with and without these special items. We believe that disclosing the impact of these items as noted above is important because it provides information on significant items that are not necessarily indicative of future performance. Industry analysts and investors consistently measure our performance without these items for better comparability between periods and among other airlines.
- Although we disclose our unit revenue, we do not, nor are we able to, evaluate unit revenue excluding the impact that changes in fuel costs have had on ticket prices. Fuel expense represents a large percentage of our total operating expenses. Fluctuations in fuel prices often drive changes in unit revenue in the mid-to-long term. Although we believe it is useful to evaluate non-fuel unit costs for the reasons noted above, we would caution readers of these financial statements not to place undue reliance on unit costs excluding fuel as a measure or predictor of future profitability because of the significant impact of fuel costs on our business.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Adjusted net debt - long-term debt, including current portion, plus capitalized operating and finance leases, less cash and marketable securities
Adjusted net debt to EBITDAR- represents net adjusted debt divided by EBITDAR (trailing twelve months earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, rent, and special items)
ASMs- available seat miles, or "capacity"; represents total seats available across the fleet multiplied by the number of miles flown
CASMex- operating costs excluding fuel, freighter costs, and special items per ASM, or "unit cost"
Debt-to-capitalization ratio- represents adjusted debt (long-term debt plus capitalized operating and finance lease liabilities) divided by total equity plus adjusted debt
Diluted Earnings per Share - represents earnings per share (EPS) using fully diluted shares outstanding
Diluted Shares - represents the total number of shares that would be outstanding if all possible sources of conversion, such as stock options, were exercised
Economic Fuel- best estimate of the cash cost of fuel, net of the impact of our fuel-hedging programs and excluding operations under the Air Transportation Service Agreement (ATSA) with Amazon
Freighter Costs - operating expenses directly attributable to the operation of
Load Factor- RPMs as a percentage of ASMs; represents the number of available seats that were filled with revenue passengers
PRASM- passenger revenue per ASM, or "passenger unit revenue"
RASM- operating revenue per ASMs, or "unit revenue"; operating revenue includes all passenger revenue, freight & mail, loyalty program revenue, and other ancillary revenue; represents the average total revenue for flying one seat one mile
RPMs- revenue passenger miles, or "traffic"; represents the number of seats that were filled with revenue passengers; one passenger traveling one mile is one RPM
Yield- passenger revenue per RPM; represents the average passenger revenue for flying one passenger one mile
