Hawaiian Holdings Reports 2014 Second Quarter Financial Results

 

HONOLULU — Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: HA) (“Holdings” or the “Company”), parent company of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (“Hawaiian”), today reported its financial results for the second quarter of 2014.

 

·                  GAAP net income in the second quarter of $27.3 million or $0.43 per diluted share.

·                  Adjusted net income, reflecting economic fuel expense, in the second quarter of $22.4 million or $0.35 per diluted share, an increase of $9.7 million or $0.11 cents per diluted share year-over-year.

·                  Passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) increase of 4.1% and operating revenue per available seat mile (RASM) increase of 6.7%.

·                  Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $564 million.

 

“The same trajectory of substantially improving financial performance was evident in the second quarter as it has been over the last few quarters” said Mark Dunkerley, Hawaiian Airlines president and chief executive officer.  “Strong demand across our geographies, good macro-economic conditions, stable fuel prices and good cost control inside the business all played their part.  Absent changes to the environment or competitor behavior, our prospects in the back half of the year look similar.  As ever, we continue to build the business with new routes, this summer featuring our first flights from North America to Kaua’i and the island of Hawai`i, and a host of customer improvements including the roll out of our extra comfort economy section of the aircraft.  Our wonderful employees continue to deliver the level of service on the ground and in the air that set the standard for others to aspire to.  Without their dedication, none of this would be possible.”

 

Statistical data, as well as a reconciliation of the reported non-GAAP financial measures, can be found in the accompanying tables.

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.

Economic Fuel Expense

(in thousands, except per-gallon amounts) (unaudited)

 

The Company believes that economic fuel expense is the best measure of the effect of fuel prices on its business as it most closely approximates the net cash outflow associated with the purchase of fuel for its operations in a period.  The Company defines economic fuel expense as GAAP fuel expense plus (gains)/losses realized through actual cash (receipts)/payments received from or paid to hedge counterparties for fuel hedge derivative contracts settled during the period.

Non-GAAP Financial Reconciliation

(in thousands, except per-share and CASM data) (unaudited)

 

The Company evaluates its financial performance utilizing various GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, including, net income, diluted net income per share, CASM, PRASM, RASM and Passenger Revenue per RPM.  Pursuant to Regulation G, the Company has included the following reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis.  The Company believes that excluding fuel costs from certain measures is useful to investors because it provides an additional measure of management’s performance excluding the effects of a significant cost item over which management has limited influence.
