FORT WORTH, Texas, July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- AMR Corporation
(NYSE: AMR), the parent company of American Airlines, Inc., today reported a
net loss of $390 million for the second quarter of 2009, or $1.39 per share.
The results include the impact of approximately $70 million in non-recurring
charges related to the sale of certain aircraft and the grounding of leased
Airbus A300 aircraft prior to lease expiration. Excluding those non-recurring
charges, the second quarter 2009 loss was $319 million, or $1.14 per share.
The current quarter results compare to a net loss of $1.5 billion for the
second quarter of 2008, or $5.83 per share. The year-ago results included a
$1.1 billion non-cash charge to write down the value of certain aircraft and
related long-lived assets to their estimated fair value and a $55 million
charge for severance-related costs from the Company's system-wide capacity
reductions. Excluding those special charges, AMR reported a second quarter
2008 net loss of $298 million, or $1.19 per share.
"The challenges for our industry and company have continued throughout
2009," said AMR Chairman and CEO Gerard Arpey. "With ongoing global economic
weakness and the resulting effect on travel demand, revenues are down sharply
from a year ago. The spot price of oil, while much lower than this time last
year, has risen since early this year and remains volatile. Even as we face
these hurdles, however, we continue to focus on improvements in areas within
our control. We bolstered liquidity and obtained additional committed
financing related to our fleet renewal program. We also improved in our
dependability and customer experience measures and announced additional
capacity reductions as we seek the right balance between supply and demand."
Among accomplishments during the second quarter of 2009 and to date, the
Company obtained $66 million from an aircraft sale-leaseback transaction and
completed a $520 million public offering of enhanced equipment trust
certificates. The offering provides financing for 16 of its Boeing 737
deliveries and four owned 777 aircraft for which the Company has received
approximately $150 million in gross proceeds to date. The Company also
announced plans to take delivery of eight additional 737s, bringing total 737
firm orders to 84 during 2009 through 2011, including aircraft already
delivered this year, and enhanced the terms of a committed financing
arrangement for 737 aircraft.
Taking into account the recently completed $520 million offering, all of
American's firm 737 orders through 2011 are, subject to certain terms and
conditions, covered by committed financing arrangements.
In addition, the Company recently entered into an amended agreement with
one of its credit card processors that limits the amount of the reserve the
processor can hold back from American's credit card receivables through the
end of 2009. The Company estimates the maximum hold-back reserve to be
approximately $300 million, including the $154 million reserve it had posted
as of June 30, 2009, during this period.
Continuing its capacity discipline, in June 2009 the Company announced
plans to reduce system-wide capacity by approximately 7.5 percent for
full-year 2009 compared to 2008 levels, a reduction of about one percentage
point greater than forecast in earlier guidance. The Company also continued to
streamline its operations and identify cost savings opportunities, including
consolidating its reservations function by discontinuing operations at its
Eastern Reservations Office, which will occur in September of this year.
Arpey reiterated expectations that American and four of its fellow
oneworld members - British Airways, Iberia, Royal Jordanian and Finnair - will
receive DOT approval of their application for global antitrust immunity this
fall, and the companies look forward to continuing to demonstrate the public
benefits of their plans to regulators in the European Union. With this
approval, American, British Airways and Iberia plan to launch a joint business
relationship that will improve travel options and customer benefits on flights
between North America and Europe.
Arpey added, "In spite of these very challenging times, we continue to see
improvements in our dependability and customer experience metrics, thanks in
large part to the hard work and commitment of our employees."
Financial and Operational Performance (Excluding Impact of Special Items)
AMR reported second quarter consolidated revenues of approximately $4.9
billion, a decrease of nearly 21 percent year over year, largely driven by
reduced capacity and the reduced demand for air travel and cargo resulting
from the global economic downturn. In addition, the Company estimates that the
impact of the H1N1 virus reduced second quarter revenue by approximately $50
million to $80 million.
Other revenues, from sources such as confirmed flight changes, purchased
upgrades, Buy-on-Board food services, and baggage service charges, increased
7.4 percent to $565 million in the second quarter, compared to the second
quarter of 2008. Reflecting global economic weakness, the Company's cargo
revenue declined by approximately $99 million or 42.6 percent in the second
quarter compared to the same period in 2008.
American's mainline passenger revenue per available seat mile (unit
revenue) declined by 16 percent in the second quarter compared to the year-ago
quarter.
Mainline capacity, or total available seat miles, in the second quarter
decreased by 7.6 percent compared to the same period in 2008, as the Company
continued to exercise capacity discipline given the difficult demand
environment.
American's mainline load factor - or the percentage of total seats filled
- was 81.8 percent during the second quarter, compared to 82.5 percent in the
second quarter of 2008. American's second quarter yield, which represents
average fares paid, decreased by 15.4 percent compared to the second quarter
of 2008. The decrease in yield was largely due to more-aggressive pricing
industrywide and reduced traffic in the premium cabins.
American's mainline cost per available seat mile (unit cost) in the second
quarter decreased by 12.8 percent year over year, largely due to lower fuel
prices. Taking into account the impact of fuel hedging, AMR paid $1.90 per
gallon for jet fuel in the second quarter versus $3.19 a gallon in the second
quarter of 2008, a 41 percent decrease. As a result, the Company paid $910
million less for fuel in the second quarter of 2009 than it would have paid at
prevailing prices from the prior-year period.
Excluding fuel, mainline unit costs in the second quarter of 2009
increased by 5 percent year over year, driven by costs related to reduced
capacity, pension expenses, and investments in dependability initiatives.
Balance Sheet Update
Including the proceeds from the sale-leaseback transaction of
approximately $66 million, AMR ended the second quarter with $3.3 billion in
cash and short-term investments, including a restricted balance of $460
million. That compares to a balance of $5.5 billion in cash and short-term
investments, including a restricted balance of $434 million and more than $800
million in collateral from hedge counterparties that was held by the Company,
in the second quarter of 2008. The Company's second quarter 2009 cash balance
includes the impact of approximately $400 million in long-term debt and
capital lease payments during the quarter - and approximately $1.2 billion
during the first half of the year - out of approximately $2 billion in total
expected long-term debt maturities and capital lease payments in 2009.
AMR's Total Debt, which it defines as the aggregate of its long-term debt,
capital lease obligations, the principal amount of airport facility tax-exempt
bonds, and the present value of aircraft operating lease obligations, was
$14.2 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2009, compared to $15.2
billion at the end of the second quarter of 2008. AMR's Net Debt, which it
defines as Total Debt less unrestricted cash and short-term investments, was
$11.4 billion at the end of the second quarter of 2009, compared to $10.1
billion at the end of the second quarter of 2008.
Following the Company's sale-leaseback transaction in the second quarter,
long-term debt payments, and the completion of the $520 million public
offering of enhanced equipment trust certificates, which closed on July 7, AMR
estimates it has approximately $3.7 billion in unencumbered assets and other
sources of liquidity, which includes assets that could be sold or financed,
such as aircraft, the AAdvantage program, route authorities, slots and its
American Eagle subsidiary. The Company also expects to disencumber more than
$500 million in additional assets as a result of scheduled debt maturities
later this year.
Second Quarter and Recent Highlights
-- American launched a new route between Dallas/Fort Worth International
Airport and Madrid, Spain, in May, the 34th international destination
served by American and American Eagle from its Dallas/Fort Worth hub,
depending on the season. In July, American announced a codesharing
agreement with Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab
Emirates, and a reciprocal frequent flyer agreement with GOL Airlines
of Brazil, with plans to enter into a codesharing agreement with GOL
in the future.
-- American offered customers more options, flexibility, and
opportunities to customize award travel with the AAdvantage One-Way
Flex Awards feature. The enhancement means AAdvantage miles can be
used in a variety of award combinations to book a one-way, roundtrip
or a multi-city trip. New One-Way Flex Awards are offered at a one-way
mileage rate, allowing customers to: use a MileSAAver award for the
outbound and an AAnytime (available for any seat on any day) for the
return; use a First Class award for the outbound and an Economy Class
award on the return; or go one way, with a One-Way Flex Award that
starts at just 12,500 miles for travel within the continental U.S.
-- American and Operation Iraqi Children (OIC), in cooperation with the
U.S. Department of Defense, delivered 10,000 kits of donated school
supplies and more than 6,000 pairs of Crocs(TM) shoes - provided by
the humanitarian shoe-donation effort Crocs' SolesUnited(SM) - to
children in need in Iraq.
Guidance
Mainline and Consolidated Capacity
AMR expects its full-year mainline capacity to decrease by approximately
7.5 percent in 2009 compared to 2008, with a reduction of domestic capacity of
approximately 9 percent and a reduction of international capacity of more than
4 percent compared to 2008 levels. On a consolidated basis, AMR expects
full-year capacity to decrease by approximately 7.5 percent in 2009 compared
to 2008.
As a result, as announced in June 2009, AMR expects second half 2009
mainline domestic capacity to decline by approximately 7.5 percent and
international capacity to decline by approximately 5.5 percent compared to the
second half of 2008.
AMR expects mainline capacity in the third quarter of 2009 to decrease by
approximately 8.5 percent compared to the third quarter of 2008, with domestic
capacity expected to decline by approximately 10.5 percent and international
capacity expected to decline by approximately 6 percent compared to third
quarter 2008 levels. AMR expects consolidated capacity in the third quarter of
2009 to decrease by approximately 9 percent compared to the third quarter of
2008.
AMR expects regional affiliate capacity to decline by approximately 11.5
percent in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the prior-year period and
expects full-year regional affiliate capacity to decline by approximately 8.5
percent in 2009 compared to 2008.
Fuel Expense and Hedging
While the cost of jet fuel remains very volatile, based on the July 7
forward curve AMR is planning for an average system price of $2.05 per gallon
in the third quarter of 2009 and $1.98 per gallon for all of 2009. AMR has 33
percent of its anticipated third quarter 2009 fuel consumption hedged at an
average cap of $2.53 per gallon of jet fuel equivalent ($99 per barrel crude
equivalent), with 30 percent subject to an average floor of $1.84 per gallon
of jet fuel equivalent ($70 per barrel crude equivalent). AMR has 36 percent
of its anticipated full-year consumption hedged at an average cap of $2.52 per
gallon of jet fuel equivalent ($97 per barrel crude equivalent), with 33
percent subject to an average floor of $1.88 per gallon of jet fuel equivalent
($70 per barrel crude equivalent). As of July 1, the average 2009 market
forward price of crude oil was $71 per barrel. Consolidated consumption for
the third quarter is expected to be 696 million gallons of jet fuel.
Mainline and Consolidated Unit Costs (Excluding impact of special items)
For the third quarter of 2009, mainline unit costs are expected to
decrease by 14 percent compared to the third quarter of 2008, while third
quarter consolidated unit costs are expected to decrease by 13.9 percent
compared to the third quarter of 2008.
In the third quarter of 2009, mainline unit costs excluding fuel are
expected to increase 7.2 percent year over year while consolidated unit costs
excluding fuel are expected to increase 6 percent compared to the third
quarter of 2008.
Full-year mainline unit costs are expected to decrease 9.2 percent in 2009
compared to 2008, while full-year consolidated unit costs are expected to
decrease 9.4 percent in 2009 compared to 2008.
AMR expects mainline unit costs excluding fuel to be 6.6 percent higher in
2009 versus 2008, while 2009 consolidated unit costs excluding fuel are
expected to increase 5.4 percent year over year.
Reasons for the expected unit cost increase include higher pension
expenses, materials and repairs inflation, dependability initiatives, and cost
pressure related to capacity reductions. This was offset somewhat by lower
passenger and cargo costs from reduced demand and other savings efforts, such
as reduced consulting expenses, an external hiring freeze, and a pay freeze
for non-contract employees.
