FOR RELEASE: Thursday, Oct. 23, 2025
AMERICAN AIRLINES REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2025 FINANCIAL RESULTS
FORT WORTH, Texas — American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) today reported its third-quarter 2025 financial results, including:
Record third-quarter revenue of $13.7 billion
Third-quarter GAAP net loss of $114 million, or ($0.17) per diluted share
Excluding net special items1, third-quarter net loss of $111 million, or ($0.17) per diluted share
Fourth-quarter adjusted EPS2 expected to be between $0.45 and $0.75 with full-year adjusted EPS2 expected to be between $0.65 and $0.95
Full-year free cash flow3 expected to be over $1 billion

“The American Airlines team is delivering on our commitments,” said American’s CEO Robert Isom. “We’ve built a strong foundation, with best-in class cost management and a focus on strengthening the balance sheet. Looking forward, I’m confident that continued investments in our network, customer experience and loyalty program will position us well to drive revenue growth and shareholder value in 2026 and beyond.”
Revenue performance
American produced third-quarter revenue of $13.7 billion. Year-over-year unit revenues improved sequentially throughout the quarter with September producing positive unit revenue growth. Premium unit revenue growth year over year continues to outperform the main cabin.

The company remains focused on executing its strategic priorities and delivering on its revenue potential. By the end of this year, the company expects it will have fully restored its share of indirect revenue that was impacted by its former sales strategy. American is now shifting focus to expanding its share of indirect revenue beyond historical levels, which, combined with improved distribution capabilities, is expected to produce meaningful value for the airline.
AAdvantage program and co-branded credit card performance
American continues to see strong engagement with its industry-leading AAdvantage® loyalty program, with active accounts up 7% year over year. In the third quarter, spending on co-branded credit cards increased 9% year over year as customers continue to value AAdvantage® miles as their preferred rewards currency. American continues to work toward the implementation of its exclusive and expanded partnership with Citi, which starts in January 2026.

Customer experience
American is elevating every step of the travel journey for its customers. The company plans to open new Flagship® lounges in Miami and Charlotte in addition to expanding the Admirals Club® lounge footprint at both airports. American’s new Flagship Suite® seats on its Boeing 787-9 aircraft led American’s widebody fleet in customer satisfaction scores during the third quarter. American’s Flagship Suite® product will expand to the airline’s transcontinental routes on its new Airbus A321XLRs. The company also announced investments to transform the onboard experience on its regional aircraft, unveiled a new coffee partnership with Lavazza, launched its first champagne partnership with Champagne Bollinger and enhanced its inflight experience with elevated amenity kits and dining options.
Operational performance
The American team delivered a resilient operation in the third quarter, despite a difficult operating environment due to significant weather events and the FAA technology outage in September and associated ATC challenges. Thanks to investments in technology and its operating systems, American quickly recovered from irregular operations in the quarter and successfully mitigated the impact to customers.
Balance sheet and liquidity
The company ended the third quarter with $36.8 billion of total debt4 and $29.9 billion of net debt5. The company remains on track to achieve its goal of total debt4 less than $35 billion by the end of 2027. The company ended the third quarter with $10.3 billion of total available liquidity, comprised of cash and short-term investments plus undrawn capacity under revolving credit and other facilities.
Guidance and investor update
Based on its current booked revenue, expectations of future demand trends and fuel price, and excluding the impact of special items, the company expects its adjusted earnings per diluted share2 to be between $0.45 and $0.75 for the fourth quarter of 2025 and $0.65 and $0.95 for the full year.
For additional financial forecasting detail, please refer to the company’s investor update, furnished, together with this press release, with the SEC on a current report on Form 8-K. This filing is also available at aa.com/investorrelations.

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. The Company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis.
The tables below present the reconciliations of the following GAAP measures to their non-GAAP measures:
Operating Income (GAAP measure) to Operating Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
Operating Margin (GAAP measure) to Operating Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
Pre-Tax Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Income (Loss) Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
Pre-Tax Margin (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
Net Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Net Income (Loss) Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (GAAP measure) to Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude net special items provides management with an additional tool to understand the Company’s core operating performance.
Additionally, the tables below present the reconciliations of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure) and total operating costs per ASM (CASM) to CASM excluding net special items and fuel. Management uses total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel and CASM excluding net special items and fuel to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude fuel and net special items provides management with an additional tool to understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance.

Free Cash Flow
The Company's free cash flow summary is presented in the table below, which is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is useful information to investors and others in evaluating the Company's ability to generate cash from its core operating performance that is available for use to reinvest in the business or to reduce debt. The Company defines free cash flows 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. We believe that calculating free cash flow as adjusted for these items is more useful for investors because short-term investment activity and restricted cash are not representative of activity core to our operations.
This non-GAAP measure 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. Our calculation of free cash flow is not intended, and should not be used, to measure the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures because, among other things, it excludes mandatory debt service requirements and certain other non-discretionary expenditures.

GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information American Airlines Group Inc. (the Company) sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements 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. The Company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The tables below present the reconciliations of the following GAAP measures to their non-GAAP measures: - Operating Income (GAAP measure) to Operating Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Operating Margin (GAAP measure) to Operating Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Pre-Tax Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Income (Loss) Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Pre-Tax Margin (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Net Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Net Income (Loss) Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (GAAP measure) to Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude net special items provides management with an additional tool to understand the Company’s core operating performance. Additionally, the tables below present the reconciliations of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel (non- GAAP measure) and total operating costs per available seat mile (CASM) to CASM excluding net special items and fuel. Management uses total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel and CASM excluding net special items and fuel to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance.

Free cash flow reconciliation The Company's free cash flow summary is presented in the table below, which is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is useful information to investors and others in evaluating the Company's ability to generate cash from its core operating performance that is available for use to reinvest in the business or to reduce debt. The Company defines free cash flows 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. We believe that calculating free cash flow as adjusted for these items is more useful for investors because short- term investment activity and restricted cash are not representative of activity core to our operations. This non-GAAP measure 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. Our calculation of free cash flow is not intended, and should not be used, to measure the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures because, among other things, it excludes mandatory debt service requirements and certain other non-discretionary expenditures. 9 Months Ended September 30, 2025 (in millions) Net cash provided by operating activities $ 3,373 Adjusted net cash used in investing activities (1) (1,652) Free cash flow $ 1,721 (1) The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net cash used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 (in millions): Net cash used in investing activities $ (1,504) Adjustments: Net sales of short-term investments (143) Increase in restricted cash (5) Adjusted net cash used in investing activities $ (1,652) 13


 
Total debt and net debt reconciliation 14 The Company's total debt and net debt are presented below, which are non-GAAP measures that management believes are useful for assessing the Company's debt profile. Total debt is defined as debt, finance and operating lease liabilities and pension obligations, and net debt is defined as total debt, net of unrestricted cash and short-term investments. Total Debt and Net Debt (at end of period) September 30, 2025 (in millions) Debt and finance leases $ 28,717 Operating lease liabilities 7,347 Pension obligations 721 Total debt 36,785 Less: cash and short-term investments 6,858 Net debt $ 29,927

Notes:
1.
Includes guidance on certain non-GAAP measures, which exclude, among other things, net special items. CASM-ex is cost per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel and net special items and is a non-GAAP measure. All adjusted operating margin and adjusted earnings per diluted share guidance excludes the impact of net special items and are non-GAAP measures. The company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking information to GAAP as the nature or amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time. Numbers may not recalculate due to rounding.
2.Shares outstanding are based upon several estimates and assumptions, including average per share stock price and stock award activity. The number of shares in actual calculations of earnings per share will likely be different from those set forth above.
3.Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities, adjusted for (1) net purchases or sales of short-term investments and (2) change in restricted cash. The company is unable to reconcile forward-looking free cash flow to GAAP as the nature or amount of items that impact net cash provided by operating activities cannot be determined at this time.
4.Interest addback applicable for the full year earnings per diluted share calculation for 6.5% convertible note settled July 1, 2025, net of estimated profit sharing and tax effects.
