AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER

AND FULL YEAR 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

FORT WORTH, Texas – American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2013 results.

 

•

As the result of the merger which closed on Dec. 9, 2013, US Airways Group became a subsidiary of AMR Corporation which changed its name to American Airlines Group Inc. (AAG)

 

•

Fourth quarter 2013 combined net profit was $436 million on a non-GAAP basis excluding net special charges. This represents a $478 million improvement versus the company’s combined fourth quarter 2012 non-GAAP net loss of $42 million excluding net special credits

 

•

2013 combined net profit was $1.9 billion on a non-GAAP basis excluding net special charges, a $1.5 billion improvement versus the company’s combined 2012 non-GAAP net profit of $407 million excluding net special charges

 

•

The company ended the year with $10.3 billion in total cash and investments. Since the merger, the company has used more than $300 million of cash to reduce its diluted shares outstanding by approximately 14 million

For the fourth quarter 2013, AAG reported a GAAP net loss of $2.0 billion, which includes $2.4 billion of net special charges. This compares to a net profit of $262 million, which includes $350 million of net special credits in the fourth quarter 2012. AAG’s GAAP financial results include the results for US Airways only for the period from the completion of the merger on Dec. 9, 2013 through Dec. 31, 2013.

For full year 2013, GAAP net loss was $1.8 billion, which includes $3.1 billion of net special charges. This compares to a full year 2012 net loss of $1.9 billion, which includes $1.7 billion of net special charges.

The company believes it is more meaningful to compare year-over-year results for American Airlines and US Airways on a combined basis, which is a non-GAAP formulation that combines the results for AMR Corporation and US Airways Group. Therefore, it includes the results of US Airways Group for the full period (not just the period since the merger closed). See the accompanying notes in the Financial Tables section of this press release for further explanation of this presentation, including a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.

Fourth quarter 2013 combined net profit was $436 million on a non-GAAP basis excluding net special charges. This compares to a combined non-GAAP net loss of $42 million excluding net special credits for the same period in 2012. Based on a diluted share count of 742 million, fourth quarter 2013 diluted earnings per share was $0.59 on a non-GAAP basis.

For 2013, the company’s combined net profit was $1.9 billion on a non-GAAP basis excluding net special charges. This represents a $1.5 billion improvement over the company’s combined 2012 non-GAAP net profit of $407 million excluding net special charges.

“The early returns on our merger are very positive,” said Doug Parker, CEO of American Airlines Group Inc. “Our teams are working well together and our customers are already beginning to see the benefits of our combined network. We have much work ahead, but believe we are on our way to restoring American as the greatest airline in the world. These financial results are evidence of the strong foundation we have in place and we anticipate improving upon these results as we further integrate our operations in 2014.”

Merger Integration

Since closing the merger on Dec. 9, 2013, the company has made significant progress in integrating American Airlines and US Airways. Key accomplishments include:

 

•

Launched the first phase of codesharing which offers customers improved access to the company’s global network by allowing them to book select flights on both airlines’ networks

 

•

Provided reciprocal benefits for Club members and Elite members, including priority check-in, waiver of fees for checked bags, complimentary access to preferred seats, priority security, early boarding and priority baggage delivery

 

•

Allowed AAdvantage® and Dividend Miles members to earn and redeem miles when traveling across either airline’s network

 

•

Trained more than 85,000 customer-facing employees

Revenue and Cost Comparisons

On a combined basis, total revenues in the fourth quarter were $10.0 billion, up 8.7 percent versus the fourth quarter 2012 on a 3.4 percent increase in total available seat miles (ASMs). Fourth quarter combined consolidated passenger revenue per ASM (PRASM) was 13.64 cents, up 5.0 percent versus the fourth quarter 2012, driven by a 5.3 percent increase in yield.

Strong demand and high load factors led to 2013 total combined revenues of $40.4 billion, which were up 4.7 percent versus 2012. Full year combined consolidated PRASM was 13.67 cents, up 2.6 percent versus 2012.

Total combined operating expenses in the fourth quarter were $9.7 billion, up 7.0 percent over fourth quarter 2012. Combined fourth quarter mainline cost per available seat mile (CASM) was 14.17 cents, up 4.2 percent on a 3.6 percent increase in mainline ASMs versus fourth quarter 2012. Excluding special charges, fuel and profit sharing, mainline CASM was flat compared to the fourth quarter 2012, at 8.49 cents. Regional CASM excluding special charges and fuel was 15.73 cents, up 1.8 percent on a 1.6 percent increase in regional ASMs versus fourth quarter 2012.

For the full year 2013, total combined operating expenses were $37.8 billion, up 0.6 percent versus 2012. Excluding special charges, fuel and profit sharing, combined mainline CASM decreased 3.1 percent to 8.37 cents versus 2012. Regional CASM excluding special credits and fuel increased 1.1 percent to 15.38 cents versus 2012.

Liquidity and Financing Transactions

As of Dec. 31, 2013, American had $10.3 billion in total cash and investments, of which $1.0 billion was restricted. The company also has an undrawn revolving credit facility of $1.0 billion. Approximately $710 million of this unrestricted cash balance was held as Venezuelan bolivars, valued at the weighted average applicable exchange rate of 6.04 bolivars to the dollar. The period of time to exchange those funds into dollars and repatriate them has been increasing and is presently more than a year. On Jan. 24, 2014, the Venezuelan government announced that a newly-implemented system will determine the exchange rate (currently 11.36 to the dollar) for repatriation of income from future ticket sales, and introduced new procedures for approval of repatriation of local currency. American is working with Venezuelan authorities regarding the timing and exchange rate applicable to the repatriation of funds held in local currency.

During the fourth quarter, the company elected to pay approximately $300 million in tax withholdings for employees under the Plan of Reorganization in lieu of issuing shares of common stock, thereby reducing the number of shares issued under the Plan by approximately 13 million. On Jan. 9, 2014, the first distribution date, the company paid approximately $23 million in additional employee tax withholdings in lieu of issuing approximately 1 million shares of common stock. The company may make a similar election on future distribution dates as both a service to our team members and an indication of our confidence in the value of our common stock.

Additional balance sheet and liquidity detail will be included in the company’s Form 10-K to be filed in February.

•

“These financing activities demonstrate the confidence that the capital markets have in the new American Airlines and the confidence we have in our future,” said Derek Kerr, CFO of American Airlines Group Inc.

•

$2.2 billion in net reorganization charges consisting primarily of a deemed claim to employees, professional fees and estimated allowed claim amounts

•

•

$31 million in operating revenue net special credits related to a change in accounting method resulting from the modification of the company’s AAdvantage® miles agreement with Citibank

 

•

$21 million in non-operating net special charges primarily related to interest charges to recognize post-petition interest expense on unsecured obligations

(A) American Airlines Group Inc. (formerly AMR Corporation) is a holding company and its principal, wholly owned subsidiaries are American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) and, effective December 9, 2013 (the “effective date”), US Airways Group, Inc. (“US Airways Group”). US Airways Group became a subsidiary of AMR Corporation (“AMR”) as a result of a merger transaction. Also in connection with the merger, AMR changed its name to American Airlines Group Inc. (“AAG” or the “Company”). Therefore, the results for the three months and twelve months ended December 31, 2013 include the results for US Airways Group for the period from December 9, 2013 to December 31, 2013. This impacts the comparability of AAG’s financial statements under GAAP for the 2013 and 2012 period. Refer to the AAG combined financial statements for an alternative, non-GAAP presentation.

(B) Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified between various financial statement line items to conform to the new AAG financial statement presentation. These reclassifications do not impact the historic net income. These reclassifications are comprised principally of the following items:

 

•

Reclassifications between various operating expense line items to conform the presentation of regional airline expenses.

 

•

Reclassifications between other nonoperating income (expense), net and operating expenses to conform the presentation of foreign currency gains and losses.

(C) Pursuant to the Company’s Fourth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) and the related Merger Agreement, AAG became obligated to issue approximately 756 million shares of common stock (traded under the symbol: “AAL”) (including among other things, shares necessary to satisfy the conversion of all shares of AAG convertible preferred stock). The Company’s estimated fourth quarter diluted share count is approximately 742 million. Please see GAAP to Non-GAAP reconciliations. The decrease in diluted share count is primarily due to approximately 13 million shares withheld by the Company during the fourth quarter in satisfaction of employee tax obligations. The Company is not required to, but may withhold additional shares in satisfaction of tax liabilities for eligible employee groups in connection with future issuances contemplated by the Plan, principally at the remaining mandatory conversion dates (days 60, 90 and 120 following the effective date).

The Company’s GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2013 includes the weighted effect of shares outstanding for both the pre and post merger periods. The shares outstanding for the 69 day pre-merger period (October 1, 2013 through December 8, 2013) consist only of the AMR common stock formerly traded under the symbol: “AAMRQ”. In accordance with GAAP, these former AAMRQ shares have been adjusted for all periods presented to retrospectively reflect the two initial distributions made to date pursuant to the Company’s Plan, whereby holders of AAMRQ received on the effective date an initial distribution of approximately 0.0665 shares of AAL, and on January 9, 2013, an additional distribution of approximately 0.1319 shares of AAL, for a total of 0.1984 shares of new AAL for each share of AAMRQ previously owned. The shares outstanding for the 23 day post-merger period (December 9, 2013 through December 31, 2013) include the full amount of shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan over the 120 day distribution period adjusted for the approximate 13 million shares withheld by the Company in satisfaction of employee tax obligations.

Former AAMRQ holders as of the effective date may in the future receive additional distributions based on the trading price of AAL common stock during the remaining 120 day period after the effective date and the total amount of allowed claims, in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Accordingly, the Company’s common shares outstanding and related GAAP basic and diluted EPS reported herein for all periods presented may change in the future, including amounts to be reported in the Company’s 2013
Form 10-K, to reflect additional retrospective adjustments for future common stock distributions to former holders of AAMRQ.

(A) American Airlines Group Inc. (formerly AMR Corporation) is a holding company and its principal, wholly owned subsidiaries are American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) and, effective December 9, 2013, US Airways Group, Inc. (“US Airways Group”). US Airways Group became a subsidiary of AMR Corporation (“AMR”) as a result of a merger transaction. Also in connection with the merger, AMR changed its name to American Airlines Group Inc. (“AAG”). Under GAAP, AAG does not include in its consolidated financial results the results of US Airways Group prior to closing of the merger. This impacts the comparability of AAG’s financial statements under GAAP for the 2013 and 2012 period. This table presents the AAG fourth quarter and full year 2013 and 2012 results of operations on a stand alone basis, which differs from GAAP solely because it excludes the results of US Airways Group for the period from December 9, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful comparison of fourth quarter and full year results. Please see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

(B) Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified between various financial statement line items to conform to the new AAG financial statement presentation. These reclassifications do not impact the historic net income. These reclassifications are comprised principally of the following items:

 

•

Reclassifications between various operating expense line items to conform the presentation of regional airline expenses.

 

•

Reclassifications between other nonoperating income (expense), net and operating expenses to conform the presentation of foreign currency gains and losses.

(A) On December 9, 2013, US Airways Group, Inc. (“US Airways Group”) became a subsidiary of AMR Corporation (“AMR”) as a result of a merger transaction. Also in connection with the merger, AMR changed its name to American Airlines Group Inc. (“AAG”). US Airways Group applied acquisition accounting as of December 9, 2013 and its statements of operations for the period from December 9 through December 31, 2013 reflect the related adjustments. As a result, in accordance with GAAP, US Airways Group’s consolidated financial statements after December 9, 2013 are deemed not comparable to its financial statements for any period prior to the merger. However, to provide a basis for comparison to prior year results, US Airways Group has combined the results for predecessor and successor 2013 periods. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful comparison of fourth quarter and full year results. Please see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

(B) Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified between various financial statement line items to conform to the new AAG financial statement presentation. These reclassifications do not impact the historic net income. These historic financial statements also do not reflect the impact of acquisition accounting, which US Airways Group will apply prospectively to its financial statements as of December 9, 2013. These reclassifications are comprised principally of the following items:

 

•

Reclassifications between other operating expenses and operating revenues to conform the presentation of frequent flyer revenues.

 

•

Reclassifications between various operating expense line items to conform the presentation of regional airline expenses.

 

•

Reclassifications between other nonoperating expense, net and operating expenses to conform the presentation.

(C) In connection with the application of acquisition accounting in conjunction with the merger, US Airways Group returned to a net deferred tax asset position subject to a full valuation allowance which is consistent with American Airlines Group. The US Airways Group Non-GAAP Combined Predecessor and Successor Consolidated Statements of Operations are prepared assuming this net deferred tax asset is subject to a full valuation allowance for the post-merger period from December 9 through December 31, 2013, therefore US Airways Group did not recognize income tax expense for this post-merger period. Had the net deferred tax asset not been subject to a full valuation allowance, US Airways Group would have recorded $66 million of income tax benefit for this post-merger period.

(A) American Airlines Group Inc. (formerly AMR Corporation) is a holding company and its principal, wholly owned subsidiaries are American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) and, effective December 9, 2013, US Airways Group, Inc. (“US Airways Group”). US Airways Group became a subsidiary of AMR Corporation (“AMR”) as a result of a merger transaction. Also in connection with the merger, AMR changed its name to American Airlines Group Inc. (“AAG” or the “Company”). Under GAAP, AAG does not include in its financial results the results of US Airways Group prior to closing of the merger. This impacts the comparability of AAG’s financial statements under GAAP for the fourth quarter of 2013 and 2012. This table presents the fourth quarter results on a “combined basis.” Combined basis means the Company combines the financial results of AAG on a stand alone basis excluding the results of US Airways Group for the period from December 9, 2013 to December 31, 2013, with the results of US Airways Group after combining successor and predecessor amounts. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful quarter over quarter comparison. Please see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

(B) US Airways Group applied acquisition accounting as of December 9, 2013 and its statements of operations for the period from December 9 through December 31, 2013 reflect the related adjustments. As a result, in accordance with GAAP, US Airways Group’s consolidated financial statements after December 9, 2013 are deemed not comparable to its financial statements for any period prior to the merger. However, to provide a basis for comparison to prior year results, US Airways Group has combined the results for predecessor and successor 2013 periods. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful quarter over quarter comparison.

(C) Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified between various financial statement line items to conform to the new AAG financial statement presentation. These reclassifications do not impact the historic net income.

For American Airlines Group, these reclassifications are comprised principally of the following items:

 

•

Reclassifications between various operating expense line items to conform the presentation of regional airline expenses.

 

•

Reclassifications between other nonoperating income (expense), net and operating expenses to conform the presentation of foreign currency gains and losses.

For US Airways Group, these historic financial statements do not reflect the impact of acquisition accounting, which US Airways Group will apply prospectively to its financial statements as of December 9, 2013, and the reclassifications are comprised principally of the following items:

 

•

Reclassifications between other operating expenses and operating revenues to conform the presentation of frequent flyer revenues.

 

•

Reclassifications between various operating expense line items to conform the presentation of regional airline expenses.

 

•

Reclassifications between other nonoperating expense, net and operating expenses to conform the presentation.

(D) Percent change is a comparison of the combined results.

(E) Combined results exclude $13 million of US Airways Group nonoperating other, net expense which is eliminated in consolidation with AAG. This expense represents a non-cash mark to market fair value adjustment for US Airways Group’s 7.25% convertible senior notes that are convertible into shares of AAG common stock subsequent to the merger.

(A) American Airlines Group Inc. (formerly AMR Corporation) is a holding company and its principal, wholly owned subsidiaries are American Airlines, Inc. (“American”) and, effective December 9, 2013, US Airways Group, Inc. (“US Airways Group”). US Airways Group became a subsidiary of AMR Corporation (“AMR”) as a result of a merger transaction. Also in connection with the merger, AMR changed its name to American Airlines Group Inc. (“AAG” or the “Company”). Under GAAP, AAG does not include in its financial results the results of US Airways Group prior to closing of the merger. This impacts the comparability of AAG’s financial statements under GAAP for 2013 and 2012. This table presents the annual results on a “combined basis.” Combined basis means the Company combines the financial results of AAG on a stand alone basis excluding the results of US Airways Group for the period from December 9, 2013 to December 31, 2013, with the results of US Airways Group after combining successor and predecessor amounts. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful year over year comparison. Please see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliations.

(B) US Airways Group applied acquisition accounting as of December 9, 2013 and its statements of operations for the period from December 9 through December 31, 2013 reflect the related adjustments. As a result, in accordance with GAAP, US Airways Group’s consolidated financial statements after December 9, 2013 are deemed not comparable to its financial statements for any period prior to the merger. However, to provide a basis for comparison to prior year results, US Airways Group has combined the results for predecessor and successor 2013 periods. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful year over year comparison.

(C) Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified between various financial statement line items to conform to the new AAG financial statement presentation. These reclassifications do not impact the historic net income.

For American Airlines Group, these reclassifications are comprised principally of the following items:

 

•

Reclassifications between various operating expense line items to conform the presentation of regional airline expenses.

 

•

Reclassifications between other nonoperating income (expense), net and operating expenses to conform the presentation of foreign currency gains and losses.

For US Airways Group, these historic financial statements do not reflect the impact of acquisition accounting, which US Airways Group will apply prospectively to its financial statements as of December 9, 2013, and the reclassifications are comprised principally of the following items:

 

•

Reclassifications between other operating expenses and operating revenues to conform the presentation of frequent flyer revenues.

 

•

Reclassifications between various operating expense line items to conform the presentation of regional airline expenses.

 

•

Reclassifications between other nonoperating expense, net and operating expenses to conform the presentation.

(D) Percent change is a comparison of the combined results.

(E) Combined results exclude $13 million of US Airways Group nonoperating other, net expense which is eliminated in consolidation with AAG. This expense represents a non-cash mark to market fair value adjustment for US Airways Group’s 7.25% convertible senior notes that are convertible into shares of AAG common stock subsequent to the merger.

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information

American Airlines Group Inc. (the “Company”) is providing disclosure of the reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The Company believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide investors the ability to measure financial performance excluding special items and profit sharing, which is more indicative of the Company’s ongoing performance and is more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines. The Company believes that the presentation of mainline and express CASM excluding fuel is useful to investors because both the cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors beyond the Company’s control. Management uses mainline and regional CASM excluding special items, fuel and profit sharing to evaluate the Company’s operating performance.

(7)

As noted on the American Airlines Group Standalone non-GAAP income statement, these tables present the American Airlines Group fourth quarter and full year 2013 and 2012 results on a stand alone basis excluding only the results of US Airways Group for the period from December 9, 2013 to December 31, 2013. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful comparison of fourth quarter and full year results.

 

(8)

As noted on the US Airways Group non-GAAP income statement, US Airways Group applied acquisition accounting as of December 9, 2013 and its statements of operations for the period from December 9 through December 31, 2013 reflect related adjustments. As a result, in accordance with GAAP, US Airways Group’s consolidated financial statements after December 9, 2013 are deemed not comparable to its financial statements for any period prior to the merger. Accordingly, US Airways Group has combined the results for the predecessor and successor 2013 periods for purposes of these tables as management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful comparison to prior periods.

 

(9)

As noted on the American Airlines Group Combined non-GAAP income statement, these tables present the fourth quarter and full year 2013 and 2012 results on a “combined basis.” Combined basis means the Company combines the financial results of American Airlines Group on a stand alone basis excluding the results of US Airways Group for the period from December 9, 2013 to December 31, 2013, with the results of US Airways Group after combining successor and predecessor amounts. Management believes this presentation provides a more meaningful quarter over quarter comparison.

 

(10)

The 2013 fourth quarter GAAP weighted average diluted shares outstanding for American Airlines Group Inc. includes the weighted effect of shares outstanding for both the pre and post merger periods. The shares outstanding for the 69 day pre-merger period (October 1, 2013 through December 8, 2013) consist only of the AMR common stock formerly traded under the symbol: “AAMRQ”. In accordance with GAAP, these former AAMRQ shares have been adjusted to retrospectively reflect the two initial distributions made to date pursuant to the Company’s Plan, whereby holders of AAMRQ received on December 9, 2013 (the “effective date”) an initial distribution of approximately 0.0665 shares of the Company’s common stock (“AAL”), and on January 9, 2013, an additional distribution of approximately 0.1319 shares of AAL, for a total of 0.1984 shares of new AAL for each share of AAMRQ previously owned. The shares outstanding for the 23 day post-merger period (December 9, 2013 through December 31, 2013) include the full amount of shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan over the 120 day distribution period.

 

(11)	Represents the additional shares that would have been included in the weighted average shares outstanding assuming the shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan over the 120 day distribution period were outstanding from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.

 

(12)	Represents the shares withheld by the Company during the 2013 fourth quarter in satisfaction of employee tax obligations in connection with the initial distribution of shares on the effective date pursuant to the Plan.

 

(13)

Represents the dilutive effect of all outstanding employee equity awards using the treasury stock method and an assumed stock price of $30 per share. These shares assume that the awards issued on the effective date of the Plan had been issued and outstanding from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013 and that the legacy US Airways Group equity awards were also outstanding from October 1, 2013 through December 31, 2013.
