Positive
- Cargo revenue up 37% YoY driven by Amazon fleet expansion to 19 aircraft, boosting diversification and margins.
- Net income rose to $6.6 m vs $1.8 m prior year; diluted EPS $0.12 vs $0.03.
- Fuel cost per gallon down 15%, reducing quarterly fuel expense by $11.7 m.
- Total debt reduced by $45.6 m since year-end, improving leverage.
- Undrawn $75 m revolver secured, enhancing liquidity flexibility.
Negative
- Unrestricted cash fell to $37 m, near the $55 m minimum liquidity covenant when restricted cash excluded.
- Passenger revenue declined 1% with load factor down 1.3 pts as capacity shifted to cargo.
- Salaries, wages & benefits up 13% due to headcount growth and new labor contracts, pressuring unit costs.
- Share repurchase of $10 m further reduced cash during a liquidity-tight quarter.
Insights
TL;DR: Earnings beat, cargo-led growth offsets softer passenger; liquidity tight but revolver provides buffer.
Revenue mix continues to tilt toward Amazon CMI flying, lifting margins despite a modest dip in leisure capacity. Fuel tailwinds and disciplined cost control produced a 32% jump in operating profit and a 263% gain in net income. Debt pay-down of $45 m YTD and a 5.7 pt equity increase strengthen leverage metrics. However, unrestricted cash of $37 m sits just above the $55 m covenant once restricted cash is excluded, leaving limited headroom until the credit card partnership and full cargo ramp add cash. Management鈥檚 $25 m buyback authorization looks aggressive given current liquidity, but unused revolver capacity provides near-term flexibility.
TL;DR: Fleet strategy shows execution; Amazon expansion enhances counter-cyclical revenue.
The jump to 19 Amazon aircraft (target 20) validates SNCY鈥檚 hybrid model, balancing seasonal passenger swings with fixed-rate cargo flying. Cargo volumes and contractual rate escalators drove 37% top-line growth in that segment, while passenger load factor held above 81% despite capacity reallocation. New labor deals and rising wages are manageable given productivity gains and fuel relief. The company鈥檚 69-aircraft NG fleet remains standardized, supporting maintenance efficiency. Credit facility upsize to $75 m adds optionality for further fleet or share repurchases, but cash must be rebuilt.

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Sun Country" or the "Company") is the parent company of Sun Country, Inc., which is a certificated air carrier providing scheduled passenger service, air cargo service, charter air transportation and related services.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Due to impacts from seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, the impact of macroeconomic conditions, and other factors, operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for other interim periods or for the full year ending December 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. This ASU requires, among other disclosures, greater disaggregation of information, the use of certain categories in the rate reconciliation, and the disaggregation of income taxes paid by jurisdiction.

2. REVENUE
Sun Country is a certificated air carrier generating Operating Revenues from Passenger (consisting of Scheduled Service, Charter, and Ancillary), Cargo and Other revenue. Scheduled Service revenue mainly consists of base fares. Charter revenue is primarily generated through service provided to the U.S. Department of Defense ("DoD"), collegiate and professional sports teams, and casinos. Ancillary revenue consists of revenue earned from air travel-related services, such as: baggage fees, seat selection fees, other fees and on-board sales. Cargo consists of revenue earned from flying cargo aircraft for Amazon.com Services, Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Amazon”) under the Amended and Restated Air Transportation Services Agreement (the “A&R ATSA”). Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from services in connection with Sun Country Vacations products and rental revenue related to certain transactions where the Company serves as a lessor. The Company recognized rental revenue of $10,981 and $9,873 , during

the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively; and $19,617 and $19,148 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In June 2024, the Company entered into the A&R ATSA with Amazon that will increase the number of Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft that Sun Country operates on behalf of Amazon from 12 to 20 in 2025. For more information on the A&R ATSA, see Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" included within Part II, Item 8 of the 2024 10-K. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received seven additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which three aircraft were in-service. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company received the eight h and final aircraft. As of the date of this filing, five aircraft were in-service. All eight additional aircraft are expected to be in-service by the end of the third quarter of 2025.

Contract Balances
The Company’s contract assets primarily relate to costs incurred to prepare the Amazon cargo aircraft for service under the original ATSA and the A&R ATSA, as well as warrants that have vested and will be amortized against Cargo revenue over the remaining term of the A&R ATSA. The balances are included in Other Current Assets and Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company’s contract liabilities are primarily comprised of: 1) ticket sales for transportation that have not yet been provided (reported as Air Traffic Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), 2) outstanding loyalty points that may be redeemed for future travel and other non-air travel awards (reported as Loyalty Program Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and, 3) the Amazon Deferred Up-front Payment received under the original ATSA (reported within Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

The balance in the Air Traffic Liabilities fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. Most tickets can be purchased no more than 12 months in advance, therefore any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within that timeframe. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, $151,101 of revenue was recognized in Passenger revenue that was included in the Air Traffic Liabilities as of December 31, 2024.
Loyalty Program
The Sun Country Rewards program provides loyalty awards to program members based on accumulated loyalty points. The Company records a liability for loyalty points earned by passengers under the Sun Country Rewards program using two methods: 1) a liability for points that are earned by passengers on purchases of the Company’s services is established by deferring revenue based on the redemption value, net of estimated loyalty points that will expire unused, or breakage; and 2) a liability for points attributed to loyalty points issued to the Company’s co-branded credit card holders is established by deferring a portion of payments received from the Company’s co-branded agreement. The balance of the Loyalty Program Liabilities fluctuates based on seasonal patterns, which impacts the volume of loyalty points awarded through travel or issued to co-branded credit card and other partners (deferral of revenue) and loyalty points redeemed (recognition of revenue). Due to these reasons, the timing of loyalty point redemptions can vary significantly.

facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”) entered into during March 2025, and one aircraft was unencumbered. See Note 5 for more information on the Company's Revolving Credit Facility.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company accepted delivery of one of the Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease that was leased to an unaffiliated airline, which will be inducted into the passenger fleet. Upon acquisition of the Owned Aircraft held for Operating Lease, the Company recognized a Maintenance Rights Asset associated with the acquired leases. Based on the maintenance condition of the one aircraft returned in 2025, the Maintenance Rights Asset settlement resulted in capitalized asset improvements of $4,697 and cash received from the lessee in excess of the Maintenance Rights Asset totaling $2,716 . The cash received for end of lease compensation in excess of the Maintenance Rights Asset was recognized within Other Revenue in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company acquired one incremental aircraft and took control of two aircraft through finance lease arrangements, one of which was subsequently subleased to an unaffiliated airline. Upon expiry of the sublease, the aircraft will be redelivered to the Company and is expected to be inducted into the Company's passenger fleet.

5. DEBT
Credit Facilities
In March 2025, the Company executed a new $75,000 Revolving Credit Facility with a group of lenders. The new Revolving Credit Facility replaces the Company's previous $25,000 revolving credit facility. The interest rate on borrowings is determined using a base rate plus an applicable margin of 2.5 %. In addition, there is a commitment fee on the unused Revolving Credit Facility of 0.6 %. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and secured by a pool of collateral. Accordingly, the Company pledged certain assets as collateral, including certain previously unencumbered aircraft, to support the ability to efficiently utilize the Revolving Credit Facility. Available funds from the Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes. The Revolving Credit Facility includes financial covenants that require the Company to maintain: 1) minimum liquidity, as defined within the agreement, of not less than $55,000 , 2) a minimum adjusted EBITDAR of $110,000 for any four consecutive fiscal quarters and 3) a minimum ratio of the borrowing base of the collateral to outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility of not less than 1.0 to 1.0. The Company was in compliance with these financial covenants as of June 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $75,000 of financing available through the Revolving Credit Facility.

Long-term Debt
Term Loan Credit Facility
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company executed a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 ("Term Loan Credit Facility") for the purpose of financing the five Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The loan is repaid monthly through March 2030. During the lease term, payments collected from the lessee are applied directly to the repayment of principal and interest on the Term Loan Credit Facility. The Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, as well as the related lease payments received from the lessee, are pledged as collateral. In December 2024, the Company made a partial repayment of $60,000 on the Term Loan Credit Facility using proceeds from the reissued Class C trust certificates Series 2019-1.
The interest rate on the Term Loan Credit Facility is determined using a base rate, which resets monthly, plus an applicable margin, and a fixed credit spread adjustment of 0.1 %. The applicable margin during the lease term is fixed at 3.75 %, and is subsequently reduced to 3.25 % once the aircraft have been redelivered to the Company and a Loan-to-Value ("LTV") ratio calculation is completed. To the extent that the LTV ratio exceeds 75 % at the end of the lease term, a principal prepayment will be required in order to reduce the ratio to 75 %. For more information on the LTV and the Company's related accounting policies, see Note 7, "Debt" included within Part II, Item 8 of the 2024 10-K.
As of June 30, 2025, the lease terms had expired for two Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. As of the lease term expiry dates, the LTV ratios were below 75 %. Therefore, principal prepayments were not required. The interest rate in effect as of June 30, 2025 for the redelivered aircraft was 7.7 %. The interest rate in effect for the three remaining Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease as of June 30, 2025 was 8.2 %.
Pass-Through Trust Certificates
During March 2022, the Company arranged for the issuance of Class A and Class B certificates Series 2022-1 (the "2022-1 EETC") in an aggregate face amount of $188,277 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft. The Company is required to make bi-annual principal and interest payments each March and September, through March 2031. These notes bear interest at an annual rate between 4.84 % and 5.75 %. The weighted average interest rate was 5.05 % as of June 30, 2025.
In December 2019, the Company arranged for the issuance of Class A, Class B and Class C trust certificates Series 2019-1 (the “2019-1 EETC”), in an aggregate face amount of $248,587 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft, which was completed in 2020. The Company is required to make bi-annual principal and interest payments each June and December, through December 2027.
In December 2024, the Company reissued Class C trust certificates from the 2019-1 EETC, which had previously been repaid, in an aggregate face amount of $60,000 and concurrently applied the proceeds to repay a portion of the Term Loan Credit Facility. The reissued Class C trust certificates had no impact on the bi-annual payment schedule or the term of the 2019-1 EETC. The 2019-1 EETC notes bear interest at an annual rate between 4.13 % and 7.10 %. The weighted average interest rate was 5.43 % as of June 30, 2025.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company repurchased 755,284 shares of its Common Stock at a total cost of $11,493 , or an average price of $15.22 per share. The repurchases were open market purchases.
Amazon Agreement
On December 13, 2019, the Company signed a six-year contract with Amazon to provide cargo services under the ATSA. In connection with the ATSA, the Company issued warrants to Amazon to purchase an aggregate of up to 9,482,606 shares of common stock at an exercise price of approximately $15.17 per share. During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, 505,738 and 442,521 warrants vested in each respective period.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company has contractual obligations and commitments primarily with regard to lease arrangements, repayment of debt (see Note 5), payments under the TRA (see Note 8), and probable future purchases of aircraft.
The Company is subject to an audit by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) related to the collection of federal excise taxes on optional passenger seat selection charges covering the period of October 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023. During 2024, the Company received an assessment of approximately $2,700 from the IRS related to the results of the audit. As of June 30, 2025, the Company has appealed the results of the audit through a formal protest with the IRS and there has been no further communication on this matter. The Company believes a loss in this matter is not probable and has not recognized a loss contingency as of June 30, 2025.
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings in the normal course of business and expenses legal costs as incurred. Management does not believe these proceedings will have a materially adverse effect on the Company.
12. OPERATING SEGMENTS
The Company has two operating and reportable segments: Passenger and Cargo, which are determined by the services provided and fleet utilized. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") makes resource allocation decisions with the objective of generating high returns and margins and mitigating the seasonality of the Company’s route network. Operating Income (Loss) is the measure of segment profit that is the most consistent with the amounts presented in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, as well as the measure the CODM uses to assess segment performance. The accounting policies for the
-19-

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share and share amounts)
(Unaudited)
Company’s reportable segments are consistent with those described in Note 2, "Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" included within Part II, Item 8 of the 2024 10-K. There are no intercompany transactions between the Company’s reportable segments.
The following tables present financial information for the Company’s two operating segments: Passenger and Cargo. Certain operating expenses are allocated between the Passenger and Cargo segments. Certain non-fuel operating expenses are allocated based on metrics such as block hours, fleet count and departures, which best align with the nature of the respective expense. Other Operating, net includes crew and other employee travel, interrupted trip expenses, information technology, property taxes and insurance, including hull-liability insurance, supplies, legal and other professional fees, facilities and all other administrative and operational overhead expenses. The CODM does not consider Interest Income, Interest Expense, and Other Income, net, in assessing the financial performance of its operating segments. Collectively, these items are included in reconciling reporting segment financial amounts to consolidated financial amounts.
Nearly all of the Company’s long-lived assets are associated with the Passenger operating segment. Therefore, predominately all depreciation and amortization expense is associated with the Passenger operating segment. Substantially all the Company’s tangible assets are located in the U.S. The Company's Aircraft and Flight equipment are mobile across geographic markets. As a result, assets by segment are not reviewed by the CODM and have not been presented herein.
The following table presents financial information for the Company’s two segments.

Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion and analysis presents factors that had a material effect on our results of operations during the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Also discussed is our financial position as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. This section should be read in conjunction with our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and our audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes and discussion under the heading, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2024 10-K. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risk, assumptions and uncertainties, such as statements of our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions and forecasts. Our actual results and the timing of selected events could differ materially from those discussed in these forward-looking statements as a result of several factors, including those set forth under the section of this report titled, “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in this report. You should carefully read the “Risk Factors” included in our 2024 10-K to gain an understanding of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forward-looking statements.
Business Overview
Sun Country is a new breed of hybrid low-cost air carrier that dynamically and synergistically deploys shared resources across our Passenger and Cargo segments, and within our Passenger segment, across our Scheduled Service and Charter Service businesses. By doing so, we believe we are able to generate high growth, high margins and strong cash flows with greater resilience than other passenger airlines. Based in Minnesota, we focus on serving leisure and visiting friends and relatives ("VFR") passengers, Charter customers and providing crew, maintenance and insurance (“CMI”) service to Amazon, with flights throughout the U.S. and to destinations in Canada, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. We share resources, such as flight crews, across our Scheduled Service, Charter and Cargo business lines with the objective of generating high returns and margins and mitigating the seasonality of our route network. We optimize capacity using an agile peak demand scheduling strategy which aims to shift flying to markets during periods of peak demand and away from markets during periods of low demand. We believe this flexible business model provides greater resiliency to economic and industry downturns than a traditional scheduled service carrier. This strategy has been implemented and executed by an experienced management team with deep knowledge of the industry.
In March 2025, we entered into a Credit Card Program Agreement for a new co-branded credit card program. The new co-branded credit card program is expected to launch in the second half of 2025. Subject to certain exceptions, the Credit Card Program Agreement has a term of seven years following its launch, with automatic successive one-year renewal terms.
For more information on our business and strategic advantages, see the "Business" and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” sections within Part I, Item 1 and Part II, Item 7, respectively, in our 2024 10-K.
Operations in Review
We believe a key component of our success is establishing Sun Country as a high growth, low-cost carrier in the U.S. by attracting customers with low fares and garnering repeat business by delivering a high-quality

passenger experience, offering state-of-the-art interiors, complimentary streaming of in-flight entertainment to passenger devices, seat reclining and seat-back power in all our aircraft.
The demand for air travel services has historically been affected by U.S. and global economic conditions, or other geopolitical events. Our diversified business model, which includes a focus on leisure and VFR passengers, Charter and Cargo service, all primarily within the U.S., is unique in the airline sector and helps mitigate the impact of cyclical, economic, and industry downturns on our business when compared with other large U.S. passenger airlines. For example, most of our Charter contracts are non-cyclical because these customers still fly during normal economic downturns, and our casino contracts are long-term in nature. Further, our crew can be utilized by flying Cargo service in periods when the Passenger business is less profitable. Our business model is flexible, which gives us the ability to adjust our services in response to market conditions and is intended to produce the highest possible returns for Sun Country.
Certain accounting estimates and assumptions used in the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements involve financial projections or depend on factors that are inherently uncertain and challenging to estimate during periods of economic uncertainty. Should the current economic uncertainty persist or worsen, the Company may need to reevaluate these estimates and assumptions, potentially resulting in a material impact on the Company's financial position, assets, or earnings.
In June 2024, the Company entered into the A&R ATSA with Amazon that will result in an increase in the number of Boeing 737-800 cargo aircraft that we operate on behalf of Amazon from 12 to 20. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received seven additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which three aircraft were in-service. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company received the eighth and final aircraft. As of the date of this filing, five aircraft were in-service. Cargo revenue will continue to grow during 2025 as all eight additional aircraft are expected to be in-service by the end of the third quarter of 2025. In the near term, the increase in aircraft we operate on behalf of Amazon will result in more resources being allocated to the Cargo business. This aligns with our strategy of long-term flexibility and supports our ability to mitigate the impact of cyclical, economic, and industry downturns on our business.

Total Operating Revenues increased $9,240, or 4%, to $263,621 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of growth in Cargo revenue due to additional aircraft received and operated, as well as contractual rate increases under the A&R ATSA. This was partially offset by a slight decrease in Passenger business capacity as we focused our operations on growth in the Cargo business. These items are discussed in further detail below.

(1) Percentage point difference
Our quarter-over-quarter results benefited from healthy demand for Scheduled Service, which was slightly offset by reduced capacity as we focused our operations on growth in the Cargo business. This resulted in a 9% decrease in Scheduled Service departures and a 6% decrease in ASMs, which were offset by a 4% increase in TRASM and a 7% increase in total fare per passenger. Ancillary revenues were negatively impacted by the 9% decrease in passengers quarter-over-quarter.
Passenger revenue also benefited from the $3,262, or 6%, increase in Charter revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was the result of an 8% increase in block hours, partially offset by a 1% decrease in Charter revenue per block hour. The quarter-over-quarter increase in block hours was due to an increase in flying by large program customers and ad hoc flying. The decrease in Charter revenue per block hour was primarily driven by customer mix and lower fuel recovery revenue due to the quarter-over-quarter decrease in fuel cost per gallon, partially offset by rate increases.
Cargo. Revenue from cargo services increased $9,356, or 37%, to $34,803 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to additional aircraft received and operated under the A&R ATSA. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received seven additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which three aircraft were in-service by the end of the quarter. Quarter-over-quarter revenue growth was further supported by contractual rate increases.
Other. Other revenue increased $1,611, or 13%, to $14,150 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven by end of lease compensation revenue recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2025, due to the return of one Owned Aircraft Held

for Operating Lease that was previously leased to an unaffiliated airline. For more information, see Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Operating Expenses
Aircraft Fuel. We believe Aircraft Fuel expense, excluding indirect fuel credits, is the best measure of the effect of fuel prices on our business as it consists solely of direct fuel expenses that are related to our operations and is consistent with how management analyzes our operating performance. This measure is defined as GAAP Aircraft Fuel expense, excluding indirect fuel credits that are recognized within Aircraft Fuel expense, but are not directly related to our Fuel Cost per Gallon.
The primary components of Aircraft Fuel expense are shown in the following table:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | % Change | ||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||
| Total Aircraft Fuel Expense | $ | 50,536 | $ | 62,188 | (19) | % | |||||||||||
| Indirect Fuel Credits | 438 | 268 | 63 | % | |||||||||||||
| Aircraft Fuel Expense, Excluding Indirect Fuel Credits | $ | 50,974 | $ | 62,456 | (18) | % | |||||||||||
| Fuel Gallons Consumed (thousands) | 20,949 | 21,864 | (4) | % | |||||||||||||
| Fuel Cost per Gallon, Excluding Indirect Fuel Credits | $ | 2.43 | $ | 2.86 | (15) | % | |||||||||||
Aircraft Fuel expense decreased 19% quarter-over-quarter due to a 15% decrease in the average fuel cost per gallon and a 4% decrease in fuel consumption due to fewer Scheduled Service aircraft miles flown.
Salaries, Wages, and Benefits. Salaries, Wages, and Benefits expense increased $10,198, or 13%, to $89,557 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Salaries, Wages, and Benefits was impacted by a 7% increase in employee headcount to support our expanding operations, contractual rate increases for our pilots, and contractual pay increases as a result of new collective bargaining agreements.
Maintenance. Maintenance expense increased $911, or 5%, to $18,250 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Maintenance expense was primarily driven by growth in our fleet and operations and higher rates for service. These increases were partially offset by a quarter-over-quarter decrease in the number of routine, time-based heavy maintenance and engine maintenance events.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and Marketing expense decreased $391, or 5%, to $8,001 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was primarily driven by lower booking and credit card transaction fees due to the shift in capacity growth from Scheduled Service to the Cargo business.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and Amortization expense increased $1,341, or 6%, to $24,972 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to growth in our spare parts program to support operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were an average of 51 aircraft that were owned or under finance leases for both periods.
Ground Handling. Ground Handling expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was materially consistent with the three months ended June 30, 2024. Quarter-over-quarter rate increases due to market

pressures were mostly offset by the 6% decrease in Passenger segment departures as we focused our operations on the growth in Cargo.
Landing Fees and Airport Rent. Landing Fees and Airport Rent increased $1,248, or 9%, to $14,971 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. This quarter-over-quarter increase was driven by rate increases at airports due to market pressures, primarily at Minneapolis – St. Paul International Airport ("MSP"). These were partially offset by a 6% decrease in Passenger segment departures.
Special Items, net. Special Items, net consisted of $49 of ratification bonuses for the new five-year collective bargaining agreement paid to eligible flight attendants during the period, as well as the related payroll tax expense. For more information, see Note 9 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Other Operating, net. Other Operating, net increased $3,654, or 14%, to $29,670 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in operations and decreased quarter-over-quarter activity from our engine part sales programs.
Non-operating Income (Expense)
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $287, or 16%, to $1,513 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the Company's average investment balance quarter-over-quarter.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $1,865, or 17%, to $9,212 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to quarter-over-quarter decreases in debt balances; as well as the partial refinancing of the Term Loan Credit Facility in December 2024 which resulted in a lower interest rate. For more information on the Company's Debt, see Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Other, net. Other, net did not have a material impact to either period presented.
Income Tax. The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was 23.1% compared to 41.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate in both periods was impacted by permanent stock compensation items.

Revenue growth for the Passenger business was partially offset by reduced capacity in the second quarter of 2025 as we focused our operations on growth in the Cargo business. These items, as well as other changes to revenue are discussed in further detail below.

(1) Percentage point difference
Our year-over-year results benefited from healthy demand for Scheduled Service, which was slightly offset by reduced capacity in the second quarter of 2025 as we focused our operations on growth in the Cargo business. This resulted in a 3% decrease in departures, which was offset by a 4% increase in total fare per passenger. Ancillary revenues were negatively impacted by the 4% year-over-year decrease in passengers.
Passenger revenue also benefited from the $10,642, or 11%, increase in Charter revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This increase was the result of a 9% increase in block hours and a 1% increase in Charter revenue per block hour. The year-over-year increase in block hours was due to an increase in flying by large program customers and ad hoc flying. The improvement in Charter revenue per block hour was primarily driven by rate increases, partially offset by customer mix and lower fuel recovery revenue due to the year-over-year decrease in fuel cost per gallon.
Cargo. Revenue from cargo services increased $13,565, or 27%, to $62,960 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to additional aircraft and contractual rate increases. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received seven additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which three aircraft were in-service by the end of the second quarter.
Other. Other revenue increased $1,344, or 5%, to $26,754 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was driven by end of lease compensation revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2025, due to the return of one Owned Aircraft Held for Operating Lease that was previously leased to an unaffiliated airline. For more information, see Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Operating Expenses
Aircraft Fuel. We believe Aircraft Fuel expense, excluding indirect fuel credits, is the best measure of the effect of fuel prices on our business as it consists solely of direct fuel expenses that are related to our operations and is consistent with how management analyzes our operating performance. This measure is defined as GAAP Aircraft Fuel expense, excluding indirect fuel credits that are recognized within Aircraft Fuel expense, but are not directly related to our Fuel Cost per Gallon.
The primary components of Aircraft Fuel expense are shown in the following table:
| Six Months Ended June 30, | % Change | ||||||||||||||||
| 2025 | 2024 | ||||||||||||||||
| Total Aircraft Fuel Expense | $ | 115,155 | $ | 132,492 | (13) | % | |||||||||||
| Indirect Fuel Credits | 2,690 | 1,222 | 120 | % | |||||||||||||
| Aircraft Fuel Expense, Excluding Indirect Fuel Credits | $ | 117,845 | $ | 133,714 | (12) | % | |||||||||||
| Fuel Gallons Consumed (thousands) | 46,120 | 45,540 | 1 | % | |||||||||||||
| Fuel Cost per Gallon, Excluding Indirect Fuel Credits | $ | 2.56 | $ | 2.94 | (13) | % | |||||||||||
Aircraft Fuel expense decreased 13% year-over-year due to a 13% decrease in the average fuel cost per gallon. This was partially offset by a 1% increase in consumption as a result of our operational growth.
Salaries, Wages, and Benefits. Salaries, Wages, and Benefits expense increased $20,805, or 13%, to $182,402 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The year-over-year increase in Salaries, Wages, and Benefits was impacted by a 7% increase in employee headcount to support the increase in total system block hours as a result of operational growth, contractual rate increases for our pilots, and contractual pay increases as a result of new collective bargaining agreements.
Maintenance. Maintenance expense increased $2,956, or 9%, to $37,112 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The year-over-year increase in Maintenance expense was primarily driven by growth in our fleet and operations and higher rates for service. These increases were partially offset by a year-over-year decrease in the number of routine, time-based heavy maintenance events.
Sales and Marketing. Sales and Marketing expense decreased $675, or 4%, to $18,396 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The year-over-year decrease was primarily driven by lower booking and credit card transaction fees due to the shift in capacity growth from Scheduled Service to the Cargo business.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and Amortization expense increased $2,336, or 5%, to $49,776 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the impact of a change in the composition of our aircraft fleet that resulted in an increased number of owned aircraft and aircraft under finance leases, as well as growth in our spare parts program. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there were an average of 51 and 50 aircraft that were owned or under finance leases, respectively.
Ground Handling. Ground Handling expense increased $2,238, or 11%, to $22,760, for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This year-over-year increase was the result of rate increases due to market pressures.

Landing Fees and Airport Rent. Landing Fees and Airport Rent increased $3,352, or 12%, to $31,804 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. This year-over-year increase was driven by rate increases at airports due to market pressures, primarily at MSP.
Special Items, net. Special Items, net consisted of $1,848 of ratification bonuses for the new five-year collective bargaining agreement paid to eligible flight attendants during the period, as well as the related payroll tax expense.

Other Operating, net. Other Operating, net increased $3,916, or 7%, to $58,509 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily the result of an increase in operations.
Non-operating Income (Expense)
Interest Income. Interest income decreased $740, or 17%, to $3,508 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction in the Company's average investment balance year-over-year.
Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased $3,352, or 15%, to $18,837 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was due to year-over-year decreases in debt balances, as well as the partial refinancing of the Term Loan Credit Facility in December 2024 which resulted in a lower interest rate. For more information on the Company's Debt, see Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Other, net. Other, net expense totaled $485 for the six months ended June 30, 2025, as a result of the Company incurring expenses of $481 in conjunction with the secondary public offering. Other, net for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was not material. For more information on the secondary public offering, see Note 10 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Income Tax. The Company's effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was 24.0% compared to 25.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate in both periods was impacted by permanent stock compensation items.

Passenger. Passenger Operating Income increased $1,470 to $14,011 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The Operating Margin Percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by 0.6 percentage point, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Passenger revenue was materially consistent quarter-over-quarter due to reduced capacity as we focused our operations on growth in the Cargo business. The quarter-over-quarter increase in Passenger Operating Income and Operating Margin Percentage were primarily driven by a 15% decrease in the average fuel cost per gallon, partially offset by increased expenses as a result of operational growth, contractual rate increases for our pilots, contractual pay increases as a result of new collective bargaining agreements, and rate increases for Landing Fees and Airport Rent.

Cargo. Cargo Operating Income (Loss) changed by $2,427, to $2,251, for the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. Operating Margin Percentage for the three months ended June 30, 2025 improved by 7.2 percentage points, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. The changes in both Operating Income (Loss) and Operating Margin Percentage were primarily driven by contractual rate increases.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We sometimes use information that is derived from the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but that is not presented in accordance with GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. We believe certain charges included in our operating expenses on a GAAP basis make it difficult to compare our current period results to prior periods as well as future periods and guidance. The tables below show a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this report to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income, and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP measures included as supplemental disclosure because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance. Derivations of Operating Income and Net Income are well recognized performance measurements in the airline industry that are frequently used by our management, as well as by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in comparing the operating performance of companies in our industry.
The measures described above have limitations as analytical tools. Some of the limitations applicable to these measures include: they do not reflect the impact of certain cash and non-cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently than we do, limiting each measure’s usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the following non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to the possible differences in the method of calculation and in the items being adjusted.
For the foregoing reasons, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Net Income and Adjusted EBITDA have significant limitations which affect their use as indicators of our profitability. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

CASM and Adjusted CASM
CASM is a key airline cost metric defined as operating expenses divided by total available seat miles. Adjusted CASM is a non-GAAP measure derived from CASM by excluding fuel costs, costs related to our cargo operations, depreciation and amortization recognized on certain assets that generate lease income, stock-based compensation, certain commissions and other costs of selling our vacation products from this measure as these costs are unrelated to our airline operations and improve comparability to our peers. Adjusted CASM is an important measure used by management and our Board of Directors in assessing quarterly and annual cost performance. Adjusted CASM is commonly used by industry analysts and we believe it is an important metric by which they compare our airline to others in the industry, although other airlines may exclude certain other costs in their calculation of Adjusted CASM. The measure is also the subject of frequent questions from investors.
Adjusted CASM excludes fuel costs. By excluding volatile fuel expenses that are outside of our control from our unit metrics, we believe that we have better visibility into the results of operations and our non-fuel cost initiatives. Our industry is highly competitive and is characterized by high fixed costs, so even a small reduction in non-fuel operating costs can lead to a significant improvement in operating results. In addition, we believe that all domestic 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 and trends in company-specific cost drivers, such as labor rates, aircraft costs and maintenance costs, and productivity, which are more controllable by management.
We have excluded costs related to the Cargo operations, as well as depreciation and amortization recognized on certain assets that generate lease income as these operations do not create ASMs. The Cargo expenses in the reconciliation below are different from the total operating expenses for our Cargo segment in the “Segment Information” table presented above, due to several items that are included in the Cargo segment, but have been captured in other line items used in the Adjusted CASM calculation. The Company has entered into certain transactions where it serves as a lessor. As of June 30, 2025, we leased or subleased five aircraft. Adjusted CASM further excludes special items and other adjustments, as defined in the relevant reporting period, that are not representative of the ongoing costs necessary to our airline operations and may improve comparability between periods. We also exclude stock compensation expense when computing Adjusted CASM. The

Company’s compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees and executives and is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for any period. Thus, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any period.
As derivations of Adjusted CASM are not determined in accordance with GAAP, such measures are susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate the measures in the same manner. As a result, derivations of Adjusted CASM as presented may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted CASM should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for CASM. For the aforementioned reasons, Adjusted CASM has significant limitations which affect its use as an indicator of our profitability. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity as of June 30, 2025 included our existing cash and cash equivalents of $36,964 and short-term investments of $101,337, our expected cash generated from operations, and the $75,000 of available funds under the Revolving Credit Facility. We invest cash and cash equivalents in highly liquid securities with strong credit ratings. We classify our investments as current assets because of their highly liquid nature and availability to be converted into cash to fund current operations. Given the significant portion of our portfolio held in cash and cash equivalents and the high credit quality of our debt security investments, we do not anticipate fluctuations in the aggregate fair value of our investments to have a material impact on our liquidity or capital position.
In addition, we had restricted cash of $16,346 as of June 30, 2025, which generally consists of cash received as prepayment for chartered flights that is maintained in separate escrow accounts prior to the date of transportation in accordance with DOT regulations. The restrictions are released once the charter transportation is provided.
We believe our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and availability under our Revolving Credit Facility, combined with expected future cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to fund our operations and meet our debt payment obligations for at least the next 12 months. However, we cannot predict what the effect on our business and financial position might be from a change in the competitive environment in which we operate or from events beyond our control, such as volatile fuel prices, economic conditions, pandemics, weather-related disruptions, the impact of airline bankruptcies, restructurings or consolidations, U.S. military actions, regulations, or acts of terrorism.

Aircraft – We do not maintain an aircraft order book; instead, we enter into aircraft transactions on an opportunistic basis based on market conditions, our prevailing level of liquidity and capital market availability. As a result, we are not locked into large future capital expenditures. We have historically financed aircraft through debt and finance leases. As of June 30, 2025, our fleet consisted of 69 Boeing 737-NG aircraft. This includes 45 aircraft in the passenger fleet, 19 cargo aircraft operated or received pursuant to the A&R ATSA, and five aircraft currently on lease to unaffiliated airlines.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company received seven additional cargo aircraft under the A&R ATSA, of which three aircraft were in-service by the end of the quarter. Subsequent to June 30, 2025, the Company received the eighth and final aircraft. As of the date of this filing, five aircraft were in-service. All eight additional aircraft are expected to be in-service by the end of the third quarter of 2025. For more information on our fleet, see Note 4 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
Maintenance Deposits - In addition to funding the acquisition of aircraft, we are required by certain of our aircraft lessors to fund cash reserves in advance for scheduled maintenance to act as collateral for the benefit of the lessors. Qualifying payments that are expected to be recovered from lessors are recorded as Lessor Maintenance Deposits on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2025, we had $60,717 of total Lessor Maintenance Deposits. All maintenance deposits as of June 30, 2025 are estimated to be recoverable either through reimbursable maintenance events or through application towards the purchase of the aircraft.
Credit Facilities - We use our Credit Facilities to provide liquidity for general corporate purposes and to finance the acquisition of aircraft. In March 2025, the Company executed a new $75,000 Revolving Credit Facility with a group of lenders. The new Revolving Credit Facility replaces the Company's previous $25,000 revolving credit facility. The Company pledged certain assets, including certain previously unencumbered aircraft, to support the ability to efficiently utilize the Revolving Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2025, the Company had $75,000 of financing available through the Revolving Credit Facility. The Company was in compliance with its covenants within the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025.
Debt - At our discretion, we obtain debt financing in order to purchase or refinance aircraft. The Company has not entered into any new debt financing arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
For more information on our credit facilities or debt, see Note 5 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.
TRA Liability - During the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we made payments of $10,525 and $3,350 to the TRA holders, respectively. Payments will be made in future periods as Pre-IPO Tax Attributes are utilized. For more information on the TRA liability, see Note 8 of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report.

Operating Cash Flow Activities
Operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2025 provided $36,252, as compared to $38,872 during the six months ended June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, our Net Income was $43,112, as compared to $37,125 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Our operating cash flow is primarily impacted by the following factors:
Seasonality of Advance Ticket Sales. We sell tickets for air travel in advance of the customer's travel date. When we receive a cash payment at the time of sale, we record the cash received on advance sales as deferred revenue in Air Traffic Liabilities. Air Traffic Liabilities typically increase during the fall and early winter months as advanced ticket sales grow prior to the late winter and spring peak travel season and decrease during the summer months. Most tickets can be purchased no more than 12 months in advance, therefore any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within that timeframe. For the six months ended June 30, 2025, $151,101 of revenue recognized in Passenger revenue was included in the $160,686 of Air Traffic Liabilities as of December 31, 2024. Air Traffic Liabilities were $106,599 as of June 30, 2025 as a result of decreased Scheduled Service capacity as we focused our operations on growth in the Cargo business.
Aircraft Fuel. Aircraft Fuel expense represented approximately 22% and 27% of our total operating expense for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The market price for jet fuel is volatile, which can impact the comparability of our periodic cash flows from operations. Fuel cost per gallon decreased by 13% year-over-year. Fuel consumption increased by 1% during the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to the prior year as a result of the increase in fleet size and total operations. We expect continued volatility in Aircraft Fuel prices per gallon due to market conditions and global geopolitical events.

Investing Cash Flow Activities
Capital Expenditures. Our capital expenditures were $21,204 and $38,231 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our capital expenditures during the six months ended June 30, 2025 included the acquisition of one engine, spare parts, and other items not individually material.
