      In 2024 and 2023, we recognized as special charges the full amount of estimated property damage to Sunseeker Resort due to weather and other insured events less the amount of recognized insurance recoveries through the end of the applicable period (sometimes referred to as the Sunseeker special charges). In 2024, we also recognized special charges for aircraft accelerated depreciation related to our revised fleet plan and for a ratification bonus paid to flight attendants in connection with our new collective bargaining agreement. The accelerated depreciation and ratification bonus are sometimes referred to as the airline special charges. We sometimes refer to all special charges as "specials" in this earnings release.

      "We finished the quarter with diluted earnings per share, excluding special charges, of $1.77," stated Maurice J. Gallagher, Jr., chairman and CEO of Allegiant Travel Company. "Peak period demand trends across our airline business remained strong during the quarter and notably, ancillary outperformed. We achieved $75.34 per passenger in total ancillary, a five percent increase over the prior year, driven by strength in seats, bags and cobrand. As we head into the third quarter, we expect a modest growth profile of just over one percent year-over-year with that growth coming in peak July and early August. Based on seasonal norms and consistent with how our model has historically operated, off-peak September capacity represents roughly half the capacity flown in July.

      "As others have noted, this summer experienced increased capacity across the industry. While this has affected yields overall, our unique network structure has provided us with a layer of insulation. As I have mentioned before, we operate in our own swim lane with 75 percent of our routes facing no nonstop, direct competition. This number has remained virtually unchanged for over a decade and our expected growth profile maintains this non-competitive landscape."

      "I want to thank our team members for another quarter of strong operational performance, yielding a near-industry leading controllable completion of 99.7 percent for the quarter," stated Gregory Anderson, president and incoming CEO of Allegiant Travel Company. "Financially, I am pleased with the progress we made during the second quarter, with the airline generating an adjusted operating margin of 10.3 percent for the quarter. Peak June utilization increased six percent from the prior year.

      "We have two weeks remaining in our peak-summer period, and our operational performance has been terrific, with July utilization up roughly five percent over the prior year. Like many in the industry, we were challenged with a vendor technology outage that temporarily paused our flying. Full operations resumed less than 12 hours later. I am incredibly grateful with how Team Allegiant came together and quickly responded, ensuring the successful continuation of hundreds of flights on one of our highest scheduled flying days in our history. Since then we have run a 99.4 percent controllable completion factor – one of the best among impacted airlines. We expect the total financial impact from the outage will be approximately $15 million.

      "Looking forward to 2025, we are on track to both return to pre-pandemic utilization levels and reduce operating inefficiencies related to Boeing's delivery delays. We now expect to receive our first aircraft in September. Near-term increases in utilization are expected to be accomplished with roughly the same number of aircraft and same size infrastructure, which should have the dual benefit of increased revenues and lower unit costs. We also look forward to a full-year benefit from our recently installed Navitaire reservation system. We expect our enhanced Navitaire improvements to be a significant boost to the bottom line in 2025.

      "Regarding Sunseeker, we continue to believe this one-of-a-kind resort holds greater value than currently reflected. To realize its full potential, however, we have engaged Prospect Hotel Advisors to conduct a strategic review of the property. Additionally, we now expect to receive up to $10 million of business interruption insurance for the full year 2024 due to delays in opening the resort. This will offset our expected full-year EBITDA loss of $25 million, reducing our cash loss estimate to approximately $15 million.

      "The combination of increased utilization during our peak demand periods, the addition of our Boeing aircraft, the optimization of Navitaire and the benefits from Prospect Advisors should position us for a much-improved 2025 and beyond."

      In 2024 and 2023, we recognized as special charges the full amount of estimated property damage to Sunseeker Resort due to weather and other insured events less the amount of recognized insurance recoveries through the end of the applicable period (sometimes referred to as the Sunseeker special charges). In 2024, we also recognized special charges for aircraft accelerated depreciation related to our revised fleet plan and for a ratification bonus paid to flight attendants in connection with our new collective bargaining agreement. The accelerated depreciation and ratification bonus are sometimes referred to as the airline special charges. We sometimes refer to all special charges as "specials" in this earnings release.

      Guidance, subject to revision

      Certain forward-looking financial information in the following tables is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. ("GAAP"). Non-GAAP financial figures may be useful to stakeholders, but should not be considered a substitute for GAAP figures. In reliance on the 'unreasonable efforts' exception in Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of SEC Regulation S-K, a reconciliation to the most comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided for airline-only loss per share, excluding special charges, consolidated loss per share, excluding special charges, and Sunseeker EBITDA, excluding special charges. The Company is not able to reconcile these Non-GAAP financial figures without unreasonable effort because the special charge adjustments will not be known until the end of the indicated future periods and any range of projected values would be too broad to be meaningful. As a result, this information would not be significant to investors.

      The Company's unvested restricted stock awards are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. The basic and diluted earnings per share calculations for the periods presented reflect the two-class method mandated by ASC Topic 260, "Earnings Per Share." The two-class method adjusts both the net income and the shares used in the calculation. Application of the two-class method did not have a significant impact on the basic and diluted earnings per share for the periods presented.

      Appendix A
      Non-GAAP Presentation
      Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
      (Unaudited)

      Airline operating expense, airline income before income taxes, airline net income, and airline diluted earnings per share all eliminate the effects of non-airline activity as such activity is not reflective of airline operating performance. We also present these airline-only metrics excluding special charges related to aircraft accelerated depreciation on early retirement of certain airframes and a ratification bonus for the new collective bargaining agreement for our flight attendants. Management believes the exclusion of these special charges enhances comparability of financial information between periods. Airline earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("Airline EBITDA") eliminates the effects of non-airline operating activity and other items. As such, all of these are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows them to better gauge the performance of the airline and to compare our results to other airlines.

      We also present both operating expense and CASM excluding aircraft fuel expense and excluding the ratification bonus to our flight attendants. Fuel price volatility impacts the comparability of year over year financial performance as does the one-time payment of the ratification bonus. We believe the adjustments for fuel expense and ratification bonus allow investors to better understand our non-fuel costs and related performance.

      We present consolidated operating income, EBITDA, and diluted earnings per share excluding Sunseeker special charges, net of recoveries, and airline special charges, to exclude the impact of losses and insurance recoveries incurred primarily as the result of hurricanes and other insured events at Sunseeker and to exclude aircraft accelerated depreciation on early retirements of certain airframes and the ratification bonus to our flight attendants. Management believes these measures enhance comparability of financial information between periods.

      Consolidated EBITDA, Consolidated EBITDA excluding special charges, Airline EBITDA excluding special charges, estimated airline only and consolidated earnings (loss) per share excluding special charges, and Sunseeker estimated EBITDA, as presented in this press release, are supplemental measures of our performance that are not required by, or presented in accordance with, accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"). These are not measurements of our financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or any other performance measures derived in accordance with GAAP or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

      We define "EBITDA" as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We also adjust EBITDA within this release to exclude non-airline activity and special charges. We caution investors that amounts presented in accordance with this definition may not be comparable to similar measures disclosed by other issuers, because not all issuers and analysts calculate EBITDA in the same manner.

      We use EBITDA and Airline EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and liquidity, and these are among the primary measures used by management for planning and forecasting of future periods. We believe these presentations of EBITDA are relevant and useful for investors because they allow investors to view results in a manner similar to the method used by management and make it easier to compare our results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures. EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool. These limitations include the following:

      • EBITDA does not reflect our capital expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments to purchase capital equipment;
      • EBITDA does not reflect interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service principal or interest payments on our debt;
      • although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets that we currently depreciate and amortize will likely have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA does not reflect the cash required to fund such replacements; and
      • other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA differently than we do, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure.

      Presented below is a quantitative reconciliation of these adjusted numbers to the most directly comparable GAAP financial performance measure.

      The SEC has adopted rules (Regulation G) regulating the use of non-GAAP financial measures. Because of our use of non-GAAP financial measures in this press release to supplement our consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis, Regulation G requires us to include in this press release a presentation of the most directly comparable GAAP measure, which is operating revenue, operating expenses, operating income, income before income taxes, net income, and net income per share and a reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP measure. Our utilization of non-GAAP measurements is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating expenses, income before income taxes, net income, earnings per share, or other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our use of these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies in the airline and travel industry. The reconciliation of each of these measures to the most comparable GAAP measure for the periods is indicated below.

      In 2024 and 2023, we recognized as special charges the full amount of estimated property damage to Sunseeker Resort due to weather and other insured events less the amount of recognized insurance recoveries through the end of the applicable period (sometimes referred to as the Sunseeker special charges). In 2024, we also recognized special charges for aircraft accelerated depreciation related to our revised fleet plan and for a ratification bonus paid to flight attendants in connection with our new collective bargaining agreement. The accelerated depreciation and ratification bonus are sometimes referred to as the airline special charges. We sometimes refer to all special charges as "specials" in this earnings release.
