Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On Wednesday, September 3, 2014, the registrant’s management conducted a presentation at the Cowen and Company Global Transportation & Aerospace/Defense Conference, in which it provided the power point presentation "Republic Airways: Getting Back to Basics". A copy of the Company’s presentation slides are furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and are incorporated herein by reference. The Company intends to use this presentation at other investor conferences.
The presentation furnished as Exhibit 99.1 contains financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). The non-GAAP financial measures included in the presentation for certain periods are adjusted pre-tax income from continuing operations and adjusted EBITDAR calculation. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included as part of Exhibit 99.1.
The non-GAAP financial information should be considered supplemental to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Management, however, believes that these non-GAAP financial measures, when used in conjunction with the results presented in accordance with GAAP, may provide a more complete understanding of the Company's results and may facilitate a fuller analysis of the Company's results, particularly in evaluating performance from one period to another. Management has chosen to provide this supplemental information to investors, analysts, and other interested parties to enable them to perform additional analysis of results and to illustrate the results giving effect to the non-GAAP adjustments shown in the reconciliations. Management strongly encourages investors to review the Company's consolidated financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and cautions investors that the non-GAAP measures used by the Company may differ from similar measures used by other companies, even when similar terms are used to identify such measures.
The information in this Form 8-K is being furnished under Item 7.01 and shall not be deemed to be filed for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of such section, nor shall such information be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Forward Looking Information
Statements regarding the Company’s operational and financial success, business model, expectations about future success, competitive environment, improved operational performance and our ability to maintain or improve our low costs are forward-looking statements and are not historical facts. Instead, they are estimates or projections involving numerous risks or uncertainties, including but not limited to, consumer demand and acceptance of services offered by the Company, the Company’s ability to maintain current cost levels, regulatory matters and general economic conditions. Additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements is contained from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings, including but not limited to the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, or as supplemented in the Company’s subsequently filed periodic reports. The Company disclaims any obligation or duty to update or correct any of its forward-looking statements.
