Forward looking statements 2 This presentation as well as oral statements made by officers or directors of Allegiant Travel Company, its advisors and affiliates (collectively or separately, the "Company“) will contain forward- looking statements that are only predictions and involve risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements may include, among others, references to future performance and any comments about our strategic plans. There are many risk factors that could prevent us from achieving our goals and cause the underlying assumptions of these forward-looking statements, and our actual results, to differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, our forward-looking statements. These risk factors and others are more fully discussed in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any forward-looking statements are based on information available to us today and we undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of future events, new information or otherwise. The Company cautions users of this presentation not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which may be based on assumptions and anticipated events that do not materialize.


 
Unique business model and results  Highly resilient and profitable – Profitable last 48 quarters (1) – 2014 Adjusted EBITDA $285mm (2) – 2014 Return on Capital 19.2%(2)  Strong balance sheet – Rated BB- and Ba3(3) – Debt/adjusted EBITDAR 2.3x(2) – $139mm in share repurchases 2014 • $86 mm in remaining share repurchase authority – Recurring quarterly cash dividend of $0.25 per share  Management owns >20% 3 (1) Excluding non-cash mark to market hedge adjustments prior to 2008 and 4Q06 one time tax adjustment (2) See GAAP reconciliation and other calculations in Appendix (3) Corporate rating of Ba3 by Moody’s and BB- by Standard & Poor’s


 
Advantages over the typical carrier 4  Leisure customer – Will travel in all economic conditions – Vacations are valued – price dependent  Small/medium cities – Filling a large void – Increasing opportunity - industry restructuring – Diversity of network - minimizes competition  Flexibility – Adjust rapidly to changing macro (fuel/economy) – Changes in supply - immediate impact on price – Minimize threat of irrational behavior from others  Low cost fleet – Match capacity to demand, highly variable – Low capital needs, higher free cash flow – Can grow and return cash to shareholders Built to be different Leisure customer Underserved markets Little competition Low cost aircraft Low frequency/variable capacity Unbundled pricing Closed distribution Bundled packages Highly profitable

Evolving our network  New cities announced 11/12/14 – Indianapolis, IN – Pittsburgh, PA – Jacksonville, FL – Omaha, NE – Richmond, VA  Focus on underserved leisure/VFR markets – Not business routes or fortress hubs  Larger origination cities – Opens up new secondary destinations – Less discounting for off-peak flying – increased utilization – Airports are hungry for new service, will incentivize 14


 
Airbus utilization  Airbus aircraft allows previously marginal flying to be profitable – Longer routes (Bismarck, ND to Orlando) – Off-peak day flying (Columbus, OH to St. Pete Wed/Sat 2x weekly) – Off-peak season flying (Syracuse, NY to St. Pete in September) – Previously canceled markets (Ft.
