outpacing domestic demand during off peak travel periods. For the
fourth quarter, our growth will be driven primarily by
international as we proactively work to manage our capacity and
reduce schedules in off-peak periods,” said Joanna Geraghty,
JetBlue’s President and Chief Operating Officer.

“While we have been able to offset some of the costs associated
with the challenging operational backdrop, the sheer magnitude of
the air traffic control and weather-related delays has been
staggering. We remain focused on controlling what we can control,
including our structural cost program and fleet modernization
plans,” said Ursula Hurley, JetBlue’s Chief Financial Officer.

include statements that do not relate solely to historical facts,
such as statements which identify uncertainties or trends, discuss
the possible future effects of current known trends or
uncertainties, or which indicate that the future effects of known
trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted, guaranteed, or
assured. Forward-looking statements contained in this Earnings
Release include, without limitation, statements regarding our
outlook and future results of operations and financial position,
expectations with respect to headwinds, including the continued
wind down of the Northeast Alliance, the impact of air traffic

and plans for future operations, including our planned merger with
Spirit (the “Merger”) and the associated impacts on our business.
Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and
assumptions, and are based on information currently available to
us. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in
the forward-looking statements due to many factors, including,
without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic and government-imposed
measures to control its spread; risk associated with execution of
our strategic operating plans in the near-term and long-term; our
extremely competitive industry; risks related to the long-term
nature of our fleet order book; volatility in fuel prices and
availability of fuel; increased maintenance costs associated with
fleet age; costs associated with salaries, wages and benefits;
risks associated with doing business internationally; our reliance
on high daily aircraft utilization; our dependence on the New York
metropolitan market; risks associated with extended interruptions
or disruptions in service at our focus cities; risks associated
with airport expenses; risks associated with seasonality and
weather; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers; risks
related to new or increased tariffs imposed on commercial aircraft
and related parts imported from outside the United States; the
outcome of legal proceedings with respect to our Northeast Alliance
with American Airlines Group Inc. and our planned wind-down of the
Northeast Alliance; the occurrence of any event, change or other
circumstances that could give rise to the right of JetBlue or
Spirit or both of them to terminate the Merger Agreement; failure
to obtain certain governmental approvals necessary to consummate
the merger; the outcome of the lawsuit filed by the Department of
Justice and certain state Attorneys General against us and Spirit
related to the Merger; risks associated with failure to consummate
the Merger in a timely manner or at all; risks associated with the
pendency of the Merger and related business disruptions;
indebtedness following consummation of the Merger and associated
impacts on business flexibility, borrowing costs and credit
ratings; the possibility that JetBlue may be unable to achieve
expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected
timeframes or at all; challenges associated with successful
integration of Spirit's operations; expenses related to the Merger
and integration of Spirit; the potential for loss of management
personnel and other key crewmembers as a result of the Merger;
risks associated with effective management of the combined company
following the Merger; risks associated with JetBlue being bound by
all obligations and liabilities of the combined company following
consummation of the Merger; risks associated with the integration
of JetBlue and Spirit workforces, including with respect to
negotiation of labor agreements and labor costs; the impact of the
Merger on JetBlue’s earnings per share; risks associated with
cybersecurity and privacy, including information security breaches;
heightened regulatory requirements concerning data security
compliance; risks associated with reliance on, and potential
failure of, automated systems to operate our business; our
inability to attract and retain qualified crewmembers; our being
subject to potential unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or
increased labor costs; reputational and business risk from an
accident or incident involving our aircraft; risks associated with
damage to our reputation and the JetBlue brand name; our
significant amount of fixed obligations and the ability to service
such obligations; our substantial indebtedness and impact on our
ability to meet future financing needs; financial risks associated
with credit card processors; restrictions as a result of our
participation in governmental support programs under the CARES Act,
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, and the American Rescue Plan
Act; risks associated with seeking short-term additional financing
liquidity; failure to realize the full value of intangible or
long-lived assets, causing us to record impairments; risks
associated with disease outbreaks or environmental disasters
affecting travel behavior; compliance with future environmental
regulations; the impacts of federal budget constraints or federally
imposed furloughs; impact of global climate change and legal,
regulatory or market response to such change; changes in government
regulations in our industry; acts of war or terrorism; changes in
global economic conditions or an economic downturn leading to a
continuing or accelerated decrease in demand for air travel; and
risks associated with the implementation of 5G wireless technology
near airports that we operate in. It is routine for our internal
projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter
in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly
understood that the internal projections, beliefs, and assumptions
upon which we base our expectations may change prior to the end of
each quarter or year. Any outlook or forecasts in this document
have been prepared without taking into account or consideration of
the Merger with Spirit.
Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding forward-looking
statements, you should not place undue reliance on these
statements. You should understand that many important factors, in
addition to those discussed or incorporated by reference in this
Earnings Release, could cause our results to differ materially from
those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Further
information concerning these and other factors is contained in
JetBlue's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission
(the “SEC”), including but not limited to in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. In light of these
risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events discussed in
this Earnings Release might not occur. Our forward-looking
statements speak only as of the date of this Earnings Release.
Other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update
or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise.

Note A - Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We report our financial results in accordance with GAAP;
however, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures in this
Earnings Release. Non-GAAP financial measures are financial
measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial
statements, but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP. We
present these non-GAAP financial measures because we believe they
provide useful supplemental information that enables a meaningful
comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our
prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP
financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our
financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the
non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The information
below provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure
used in this Earnings Release and shows a reconciliation of certain
non-GAAP financial measures used in this Earnings Release to the
most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
With respect to JetBlue’s CASM Ex-Fuel (1) guidance and Adjusted
EPS guidance (2), JetBlue is not able to provide a reconciliation
of forward-looking measures where the quantification of certain
excluded items reflected in the measure cannot be calculated or
predicted at this time without unreasonable efforts. In these
cases, the reconciling information that is unavailable includes a
forward-looking range of financial performance measures beyond our
control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and
political factors beyond our control. For the same reasons, we are
unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable
information, which could have a potentially unpredictable and
potentially significant impact on our future GAAP financial
results.
(1) CASM Ex-Fuel is a non-GAAP measure that excludes fuel and
related taxes, other non-airline operating expenses, and special
items.
(2) Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP measure that excludes special
items and investment gains and losses.
Operating expense per available seat mile, excluding fuel and
related taxes, other non-airline operating expenses, and special
items (“CASM ex-fuel”)
CASM is a common metric used in the airline industry. Our CASM
for the relevant periods are summarized in the table below. We
exclude aircraft fuel and related taxes, operating expenses related
to other non-airline businesses, such as JetBlue Technology
Ventures and JetBlue Travel Products, and special items from total
operating expenses to determine Operating expenses ex-fuel, which
is a non-GAAP financial measure, and we exclude the same items from
CASM to determine CASM ex-fuel, which is also a non-GAAP financial
measure. We believe the impact of these special items distorts our
overall trends and that our metrics are more comparable with the
presentation of our results excluding such impact.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, special
items included Spirit acquisition costs and union contract
costs.
Special items for 2022 included Spirit acquisition costs, union
contract costs and Embraer E190 fleet transition costs.
We believe that Operating Expenses ex-fuel and CASM ex-fuel are
useful for investors because they provide investors the ability to
measure our financial performance excluding items that are beyond
our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic
and political factors, as well as items that are not related to the
generation of an available seat mile, such as operating expense
related to certain non-airline businesses and special items. We
believe these non-GAAP measures are more indicative of our ability
to manage airline costs and are more comparable to measures
reported by other major airlines.
The table below provides a reconciliation of our total operating
expenses (“GAAP measure”) to Operating Expenses ex-fuel, and our
CASM to CASM ex-fuel for the periods presented.

Our GAAP results in the applicable periods were impacted by
credits and charges that were deemed special items.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, special
items included Spirit acquisition costs and union contract
costs.
Special items for 2022 included Spirit acquisition costs, union
contract costs and Embraer E190 fleet transition costs.
Certain gains and losses on our equity investments were also
excluded from our 2023 and 2022 GAAP results.
We believe the impact of these items distort our overall trends
and that our metrics are more comparable with the presentation of
our results excluding the impact of these items. The table below

non-GAAP amounts excluding the impact of these items for the

Adjusted debt to capitalization ratio
Adjusted debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial
metric which we believe is helpful to investors in assessing the
company's overall debt profile. Adjusted debt includes aircraft
operating lease liabilities, in addition to total debt and finance
leases, to present estimated financial obligations. Adjusted
capitalization represents total equity plus adjusted debt.
