Notes

  1. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined as earnings excluding the impact of net special items before net interest and other nonoperating expenses, taxes, depreciation, amortization and aircraft rent, and is a non-GAAP measure.
  2. Adjusted free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities, adjusted for (1) net sales of short-term investments and (2) change in restricted cash, and is a non-GAAP measure.
  3. Total debt includes debt, finance and operating lease liabilities and pension obligations.

Non-GAAP Financial Information and Financial Guidance
The company sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements or otherwise provided in the form of guidance but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Certain components of the guidance provided exclude net special items. The company is unable to fully reconcile this forward-looking guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure because the full nature and amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time.
