In March 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-07, Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, requiring an employer to report the service cost component in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit costUnless otherwise noted, all amounts disclosed are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotalstated before consideration of income from operations, if one is presented. ASU 2017-07 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption only permitted in the first quarter of 2017. The Company early adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-07 resulted in a reclassification of $5.1 million and $15.2 million from wages and benefits to other components of net periodic benefit cost on the Company's consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.taxes.


In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows, Restricted Cash, requiring restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents to be included with cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2017. Restricted cash is now included as a component of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the Company's condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The inclusion of restricted cash increased the beginning and ending balances of the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows by $5.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, requiring all income tax effects of awards to be recognized in the income statement when the awards vest or are settled. ASU 2016-09 will also allow an employer to withhold more shares for tax withholding purposes without triggering liability accounting and to make a policy election to account for forfeitures as they occur. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2017. The primary impact of the adoption of the standard on the Company's consolidated financial statements was the recognition of excess tax benefits in the provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital, which reduced income tax expense by $0.3 million and $5.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The Company also reclassified $17.6 million of excess tax benefits for share-based payments in the cash flow statement from financing activities to operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging, which better aligns a company's risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships and is intended to simplify hedge accounting requirements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the components and options within ASU 2017-12.



In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, requiring a lessee to recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. ASU 2016-02 requires entities to use a modified retrospective approach for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the financial statements. Full retrospective application is prohibited. The Company is evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and believes this ASU will have a significant impact on its consolidated balance sheet but does not expect that the ASU will have a material impact on the Company's results of operations or cash flows. The effect of adopting the new standard will be to record right-of-use assets and operating lease obligations for current operating leases on the Company's balance sheet. See Note 9 which discusses our lease obligations as of September 30, 2017.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and created a new topic (ASC 606), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASC 606 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. ASC 606 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company will elect to adopt the full retrospective transition method as of January 1, 2018, resulting in the restatement of certain prior periods on the date of adoption.

The Company is completing its overall analysis for the provisions of ASC 606 specific to its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company is also designing and implementing controls and systems in anticipation of the adoption of the standard, effective January 1, 2018 which will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. The overall expected decrease in equity as of January 1, 2016 is expected to be up to $125 million net of tax, with an offsetting change primarily in Other liabilities and deferred credits. The corresponding annual income statement effect is expected to be a decrease of approximately 1% of total revenue.

While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of this new standard, it currently believes the most significant impact relates to the accounting for the Company's frequent flyer travel award program. This change as well as other less significant changes, is briefly described below:

Frequent flyer - The standard will require the Company to account for miles earned by passengers in the HawaiianMiles program through flight activity as a component of the passenger revenue ticket transaction at the estimated selling price of the miles (effectively eliminating the incremental cost accounting currently applied). Under ASC 606, ticket consideration received is allocated between the performance obligations, primarily travel and miles earned by passengers. The allocated value of the miles will be deferred until the free travel or other award is used by the passenger, at which time it will be included in passenger revenues. ASC 606 will result in a significant increase to the deferred revenue liability on the Company's balance sheet, as the estimated selling price of the miles significantly exceeds the value previously recorded for incremental cost.
Passenger revenue - Currently, passenger revenue is recognized either when the transportation is provided or when tickets expire unused. However, after the application of ASC 606, passenger revenue associated with unused tickets, which represent unexercised passenger rights, is expected to be recognized in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by related passengers (e.g. scheduled departure dates). This will have the effect of accelerating the recognition of revenue and reducing the recorded balance in air traffic liability as compared to the current policy.
Other operating revenue - Other operating revenue includes checked baggage revenue, cargo revenue, ticket change and cancellation fees, charter revenue, ground handling fees, commissions and fees earned under certain joint marketing agreements with other companies, inflight revenue, and other incidental sales. Ticket change and cancellation fees are currently recognized at the time the fees are assessed. The Company expects to defer the recognition of ticket change fees as a component of air traffic liability until the related transportation is provided. Certain amounts currently classified in other revenue (e.g. bag and other ancillary fees) will be reclassified to passenger revenue.
Selling Costs - Certain selling costs to issue passenger tickets (e.g. credit card and booking fees) are currently recognized when incurred.  Consistent with the Company’s current accounting for commissions, under ASC 606 the Company will capitalize selling costs associated with credit card and booking fees and recognize the associated expense at the ticketed flight date.

The adoption of the standard will require the implementation of new accounting processes and systems, which will change the Company's internal control over revenue recognition. Other items could be identified that will impact amounts ultimately recorded.

Basic earningsloss per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net incomeloss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.

Diluted earnings per share reflectsThe potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issuecomputation of diluted weighted average common stock were exercised or converted into common stock. Forshares outstanding because their effect would have been antidilutive was 95,819 and 488,478 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and 2016, anti-dilutive2022, respectively. Unvested warrant shares held by Amazon have not been included in the computation as their performance condition has not yet been satisfied. As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, the unvested Amazon warrant shares excluded from antidilutive shares were 8,183,451 and 0, respectively.

4. Revenue Recognition
The majority of the Company's common stockpassenger revenue is derived from passenger ticket sales. Other revenue is primarily derived from the Company's cargo operations and loyalty program. The Company's primary operations are that of its wholly owned subsidiary, Hawaiian. Principally all operations of Hawaiian either originate and/or end in open market transactions duringthe state of Hawai'i. The management of such operations is based on a system-wide approach due to the interdependence of Hawaiian's route structure in
9

its various markets. As Hawaiian is engaged in only one significant line of business (i.e., air transportation), the Company has concluded that it has only one segment. The Company's operating revenues by geographic region (as defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)) are summarized below:

Domestic$486,129 $438,416 
Pacific126,474 38,798 
Total operating revenue$612,603 $477,214 

Hawaiian attributes operating revenue by geographic region based on the destination of each flight segment. Hawaiian's tangible assets consist primarily of flight equipment, which is mobile across geographic markets, and therefore has not been allocated to specific geographic regions.
Other operating revenue consists of cargo revenue, ground handling fees, commissions, and fees earned under certain joint marketing agreements with other companies. These amounts are recognized when the service is provided.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's air traffic liability balance, as it relates to passenger tickets (excluding frequent flyer liability), was$569.4 million and $414.5 million, respectively, which generally represents revenue that is expected to be realized in future periods.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023 and 2022, the amount of passenger ticket revenue recognized that was included in air traffic liability as of the beginning of the respective period was $294.5 million and $198.8 million, respectively. As

issuance or scheduled flight, as applicable. In October 2017,April 2020, the Company announced the waiver of certain change fees and extended ticket validity for up to 24 months for (a) tickets issued between March 1, 2020 and December 31, 2020 and (b) tickets issued prior to March 1, 2020 for original travel between March 1, 2020 and February 28, 2021. In December 2021, the Company announced the further extension of ticket validity to December 31, 2022, which also included all Main Cabin and First Class passenger tickets purchased in 2021. The Company records an estimate of breakage revenue on the scheduled flight date for tickets that will expire unused. These estimates are based on the evaluation of actual historical results, available market information, forecasted trends and the extension of the expiration date for certain tickets impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. At December 31, 2022, $151.9 million of passenger tickets expired unused after receiving extended validity dates throughout the prior two years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized advanced breakage of $12.6 million and $17.8 million, respectively. Despite improvements in the industry and overall travel demand, unflown rates continue to have higher than normal volatility in comparison to historical trends. The Company will continue to monitor customers' travel behavior and may adjust its Boardestimates in the future.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's unrealized losses from debt securities were generated from 487 positions out of 554 positions and 496 positions out of 547 positions, respectively.
The Company reviews debt securities quarterly for credit losses and impairment. If the cost of an investment exceeds its fair value, the Company will evaluate, among other factors, general market conditions, credit quality of debt instrument issuers, and the extent to which the fair value is less than cost. This determination requires significant judgment. In making this judgment, the Company employs a systematic methodology that considers available quantitative and qualitative evidence in evaluating potential impairment of its investments. In addition, the Company considers specific adverse conditions related to the financial health of, and business outlook for, the investee. If the Company has plans to sell the security or it is more likely than not that the Company will be required to sell the security before recovery, then a decline in fair value below cost is recorded as an impairment charge in Other, net, within non-operating expense on the unaudited consolidated statements of operations, and a new cost basis in the investment is established. If market, industry, and/or investee conditions deteriorate, the Company may incur future impairments.

Debt securities in a continuous unrealized loss position for twelve months or greater as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were primarily attributable to changes in interest rates, relative to when the investment securities were purchased. The Company does not intend to sell any of these investments and it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis, which may be at maturity. Accordingly, the Company has determined that the unrealized losses on its debt securities as of March 31, 2023 were temporary in nature. The Company has evaluated these debt securities and did not recognize any significant credit losses as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the unrealized gains on equity securities were $0.9 million and unrealized losses on equity securities were $11.5 million, respectively.

6.  Fair Value Measurements
 
ASCAccounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820), defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
 
Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
 
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities; and
 
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

prices. The Company’s operations are inherently dependent upon the price and availability of aircraft fuel. To manage economic risks associated with fluctuations in aircraft fuel prices, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company primarily used crude oil call options and jet fuel swaps to hedge its aircraft fuel expense.  These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, anyAny changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are adjusted through other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change. The Company’s fuel derivative contracts consist of crude oil call options, which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on inputs available or derived from public markets including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility among others.


Assets held for sale. The Company's assets held for sale consist of aircraft, engine, rotable and expendable aircraft parts, and commercial real estate. The assets are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and a loss is recognized for any initial adjustment of the assets' carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell. The fair value measurements for the Company's held-for-sale assets were based on Level 3 inputs, which include information obtained from third-party valuation sources and other market sources, including recent offers from potential buyers. Refer to Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

As of March 31, 2023 and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies, withDecember 31, 2022, the primary exposures beingCompany's derivative positions reflected a net asset position of $1.2 million and $1.3 million within the Japanese Yenportfolio. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and Australian Dollar. To manage exchange rate risk,2022, the Company executes its international revenuerecognized a net realized and expense transactions in the same foreign currency to the extent practicable.  
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to further manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates. The effective portion of the gain orunrealized loss of designated cash flow hedges is reported as$0.1 million and a componentnet realized and unrealized gain of accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the related sales are recognized as passenger revenue. The effective portion of the foreign currency forward contracts represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in the fair value of the hedged item. To the extent the change in the fair value of the hedge does not perfectly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized as nonoperating$1.4 million, respectively, through Nonoperating income (expense). Foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recognized as other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.
The Company believes that its foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. The Company expects to reclassify a net gain of approximately $0.6 million into earnings over the next 12 months from AOCI based on the values at September 30, 2017.

Risk and Collateral
17

FinancialThe financial derivative instruments expose the Company to possible credit loss in the event the counterparties to the agreements fail to meet their obligations. To manage such credit risks, the Company (1) selects its counterparties based on past experience and credit ratings, (2) limits its exposure to any single counterparty, and (3) regularlyperiodically monitors the market position and credit rating of each counterparty. Credit risk is deemed to have a minimal impact on the fair value of the derivative instruments as cash collateral would be provided to or by the counterparties based on the current market exposure of the derivative.

The Company's agreements with its counterparties also require the posting of cash collateral in the event the aggregate value of the Company's positions exceeds certain exposure thresholds. The aggregate fair value of the Company's derivative instruments that contain credit-risk related contingent features was in a net asset position of $4.7 million and $6.6 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
ASC 815 requires a reporting entity to elect a policy of whether to offset rights to reclaim cash collateral or obligations to return cash collateral against derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, or present such amounts on a gross basis. The Company’sCompany's accounting policy is to present its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis, including any collateral posted with the counterparty. The Company had no$0.3 million collateral posted with its counterparties as of September 30, 2017 andMarch 31, 2023. No collateral was posted with its counterparties as of December 31, 2016.

2022.
The Company is also subject to market risk in the event these financial instruments become less valuable in the market. However, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments will generally offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, limiting the Company’sCompany's overall exposure.

In 2016, the Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. Pension Plan for Salaried Employees (the Salaried Plan) was consolidated into the Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. Pension Plan for Employees Represented by the International Association of Machinists (IAM), which established the Merged Plan. At that time, the net liabilities of the Salaried Plan were transferred to the Merged Plan. In August 2017, the Company completed the termination of the plan by transferring the assets and liabilities to a third-party insurance company. The Company contributed a total of $18.5 million in cash to fully fund the plan and recognized a one-time financial loss of $35.2 million as an other nonoperating special item on the Company's Consolidated Statement of Operations. The Company no longer has any expected contributions to the Merged Plan due to the final settlement.

In March 2017, the Company announced the ratification of a 63-month contract amendment with its pilots as represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA). In connection with the ratification of the agreement, the parties agreed to eliminate the post-65 post-retirement medical benefit for all active pilots, and replace the benefit with a heath retirement account (HRA) managed by ALPA, which represented a curtailment and partial settlement of the pilots' other post-retirement benefit plan. In August 2017, the Company made a one-time cash payment of approximately $101.9 million to fund the HRA and settle the post-65 post-retirement medical plan obligation. The cash contributed was distributed to the trust funding the individual health retirement notional accounts of the participants. In connection with the settlement of the liability, the discount rate was updated to 3.87%. The Company recognized a one-time settlement loss of $15.0 million. The obligation recorded for the unsettled portion of this plan was $83.4 million as of September 30, 2017. The Company has expected contributions of $0.9 million to the pilots' other post-retirement benefit plan for the remainder of 2017.2023.

Litigation and Contingencies
 
The Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its operations. ManagementThe Company does not anticipate that the disposition of any currently pending proceeding will have a material effect on the Company’s operations, business or financial condition.


20

General Guarantees and Indemnifications
 
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into numerous aircraft financing and real estate leasing arrangements that have various guarantees included in such contracts. It is common in such lease transactions for the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third-partiesthird parties for tort liabilities that arise out of, or relate to, the lessee’s use of the leased aircraft or occupancy of the leased premises. In some cases, this indemnity extends to related liabilities arising from the negligence of the indemnified parties, but usually excludes any liabilities caused by such parties' gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, the lessee typically indemnifies such parties for any environmental liability that arises out of or relates to the lessee's use of the real estate leased premises. The Company believes that it is insured (subject to deductibles) for most of the tort liabilities and related indemnities described above with respect to the aircraft and real estate that it leases. The Company cannot reasonably estimate the potential amount of future payments, if any, under the foregoing indemnities and agreements.
 
Credit Card HoldbackHoldbacks
 
Under the Company’s bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $1.0 million at September 30, 2017As of March 31, 2023 and $5.0 million at December 31, 2016.2022, there were no holdbacks held with the Company's credit card processors.
 


In the event of a material adverse change in the Company's business, the holdbackcredit card processor could increase holdbacks to an amount up to 100% of the applicableamount of outstanding credit card tickets that are unflown (e.g., air traffic liability, excluding frequent flyer deferred revenue), which would also cause an increaseresult in the levela restriction of restricted cash. If the Company iswere unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company's operations, business or financial condition.

11. Assets Held-For-Sale

In the second quarter of 2021, the Company reclassified approximately $29.5 million in long-lived assets as held for sale as follows:

•The Company announced the termination of its 'Ohana by Hawaiian operations, which utilized its ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleet, and was operated under a capacity purchase agreement (CPA) with a third-party carrier. Following the termination of the operations, management committed to a plan of sale and wrote-down the related assets by approximately$6.4 million to fair value, less cost to sell, and classified approximately $23.4 million as assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

•The Company committed to a plan to sell certain commercial real-estate assets held by one of the Company's subsidiaries. Management fair valued the assets, less the cost to sell, which did not result in a write-down to the asset group, and reclassified approximately $6.1 million as assets held for sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company sold three ATR-72 aircraft and recognized a $2.6 million gain on the transactions, which was recorded in Other operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company estimated the fair value of its remaining ATR-42 and ATR-73 aircraft, using available market information and in consideration of recent transactions, which resulted in the recognition of a $6.3 million impairment charge, which was recorded as a Special item in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

In February 2023, the Company entered into a sale agreement for the sale of its commercial real estate and recognized a gain on sale of $10.2 million, which was recorded in Other operating expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

On October 20, 2022, Hawaiian and Amazon.com Services LLC (Customer), a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (Amazon), entered into an Air Transportation Services Agreement (the ATSA) under which the Company will provide certain air cargo transportation services to Customer for an initial term of eight years. Thereafter, the Customer may elect to extend the ATSA for two years and, at the end of such period, the parties may mutually agree to extend the term for three additional years.


The ATSA provides for the Company to initially operate ten A330-300F aircraft for air cargo transportation services, with the Customer having the right to enter into work orders for additional aircraft. The Company will supply flight crews, perform maintenance and certain administrative functions, and procure aircraft insurance. The Customer will pay the Company a fixed monthly fee per aircraft, a per flight hour fee, and a per flight cycle fee for each flight cycle operated. The Customer will also reimburse the Company for certain operating expenses, including fuel, certain maintenance, and insurance premiums. As part of the ATSA, the Company received $11.5 million toward start-up costs which has been recorded in Other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The deferred up-front payment will be amortized into revenue on a pro-rata basis over the term of the contract. Operations under the ATSA are expected to commence in the fourth quarter of 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, $0 was amortized into revenue on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company and Amazon also entered into a Transaction Agreement, under which the Company agreed to issue to Amazon.com NV Investment Holdings LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Amazon, a warrant (the Warrant) to acquire up to 9,442,443 shares (the Warrant Shares), of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share.

The exercise price with respect to the first 6,294,962 Warrant Shares that vest will be $14.71 per share (the First Tranche). The exercise price with respect to the remaining 3,147,481 Warrant Shares (the Second Tranche) will be determined based on the 30-day volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock as of the earlier of (i) October 20, 2025, or (ii) the date that the entire First Tranche is vested. At execution of the ATSA, 1,258,992 Warrant Shares, valued at $11.6 million, vested, and were recorded in Other assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The remaining Warrant Shares will vest based on qualifying payments to be made by Amazon or its affiliates either under the ATSA or generally to the Company with respect to air cargo or air charter services (the Performance Condition), excluding commercial passenger service, up to $1.8 billion of qualifying payments in the aggregate.

The Warrant was valued in two tranches, both utilizing a Monte Carlo Simulation Model. The First Tranche, which met the grant date criteria under ASC 718 at execution of the ATSA, has a set exercise price and a grant date fair value of approximately $57.9 million, or $9.19 per Warrant Share. The Warrant is classified as an equity award, subject only to the Performance Condition referenced above which impacts the timing of the vesting of the Warrant Shares. For the Second Tranche, which will not have an established exercise price until a future date, as noted above, was valued at approximately $16.0 million, or $5.09 per Warrant Share as of March 31, 2023. As a grant date has not yet been established, the Company will estimate the fair value of these Warrant Shares on a quarterly basis; however, the Company also considered that until the Warrant Shares vest, there is no financial statement impact related to the Second Tranche for unvested shares under ASC 718. At their grant date, the Company will value these Warrant Shares, which will be classified as equity awards, subject to the Performance Condition.

As discussed above, 1,258,992 Warrant Shares (included in Note 10, in August 2017, the Company terminatedFirst Tranche), with a value of $11.6 million, vested at execution of the Merged PlanATSA, and settledwere recorded as Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Operating Revenue
 
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, operating revenue increased by $47.7$135.4 million, or 7.1%28.4%, and $191.5 million or 10.5%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods,same period in 2022. The increase was primarily driven by increasedthe increase in passenger revenue.travel demand, predominantly on our Domestic routes.


Passenger revenue


For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2023, passenger revenue increased by $42.9$144.5 million, or 7.3%35.8%, and $173.2 million or 10.9%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods.same period in 2022. Details of these changes are describedreflected in the table below:

Domestic passenger revenue increased 17.3% during the three months ended March 31, 2023, despite a decrease in capacity, as measured in ASM, of 0.8% during the same period. We continue to optimize existing capacity with passenger counts up 20.8%, leading to RPM and Yield increases during the quarter. Demand on our domestic network has recovered to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, with passenger revenue down 0.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by the strength of our North America traffic. Our Neighbor Island traffic, which accounted for approximately 19.2% of total domestic revenue in the first quarter of 2023, continued to face increased competitive pressures with additional capacity entering the market, along with the aggressively low priced neighbor island fares. This has resulted in

International passenger revenue increased 295.5% during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022. Despite these improvements, our international network remains depressed in comparison to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, with revenue down 31.9% as compared to the same period in 2019. We expect demand on our International routes to continue to lag behind demand on our Domestic routes. In addition, we expect the weakening of the Japanese Yen, which has increased the cost of travel for customers from Japan, to continue to negatively impact international demand until the Japanese Yen recovers.

We expect our network capacity (ASM) for the second quarter of 2023 to be up approximately 10.5% to 13.5% compared to the same period in 2022. We expect RASM will be down between 8.5% and 11.5% for the second quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.

Wages and benefits

Wagesperiod. The increase in wages and benefits expense for the third quarteris primarily attributed to increased by $24.7 million or 18.1%,operations, predominantly within our domestic network, scheduled contractual wage increases and $71.1 million or 18.0% for the threeincreased inflationary and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. The increase was primarily due to the recent signing ofhiring costs. In July 2022, our collective bargaining agreement (CBA) with employees represented by the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) contract amendment effective April 1, 2017 as well as an increasebecame amendable. In February 2023, the pilots ratified a new four year CBA, which includes, amongst other things, a signing bonus, pay scale increases across all fleet types, improved health benefits and cost sharing, and enhancements to the Company's postretirement and disability plans. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company recognized approximately $17.7 million in employee benefits (such as health insurance) expenses. costs associated with the ratification of the new CBA.

We have also increased the number of flight crew personnel and training to prepare for the induction of our A321neo fleet, resulting in higherexpect that wages and benefits expense, in addition to an overallwill increase in employee headcount by approximately 6.8%during the second quarter of 2023, as compared to September 30, 2016 which includes flight attendants, machinist, and non-contract employees.the same period in 2022, as a result of the amended CBAs we've entered into the past several years, combined with the continued ramp up of our international operations.

Fuel consumption increased 21.4% as a result of increased operations combined with operational challenges, including runway construction at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawai`i, and aircraft up-gauging as a result of supply chain issues impacting our A321neo aircraft.

We believe economic fuel expense is a good measure of the effect of fuel prices on our business as it most closely approximates the net cash outflow associated with the purchase of fuel for our operations in a period and is consistent with how our management manages our business and assesses our operating performance. We define economic fuel expense as raw fuel expense plus (gains)/losses realized through actual cash payments to/(receipts from) hedge counterparties for fuel derivatives settled in the period, inclusive of costs related to hedging premiums.

Economic fuel expense is calculated as follows:

Maintenance, materials and repairs

See Item 3, "QuantitativeMaintenance, materials and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk"repairs expense decreased $5.4 million, or 9.6%, for additional discussionthe three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. In December 2022, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with one of our third-party service providers to terminate our Amended and Restated Complete Fleet Services (CFS) Agreement (Amended CFS) covering A330-200 aircraft fuel costsearly. The Amended CFS was originally scheduled to run through December 2027, and related hedging program.will now terminate in April 2023. Upon execution of the MOU, we agreed to pay a total of $12.5 million in termination fees, which was recognized in fiscal year 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $24.1 million in deferred liabilities to be recognized into earnings over the remaining contract term as contra-maintenance materials and repairs expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized approximately $18.1 million in amortization. Excluding the amortization of the aforementioned deferred balance, maintenance, materials and repairs expense increased $12.7 million in the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, primarily the result of increased rates and utilization associated with our power-by-the-hour agreements, the timing of scheduled heavy maintenance events and inflationary pressures on costs.


We expect maintenance, materials and repairs expense to increase during the second quarter of 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022.

Aircraft and passenger servicing


Aircraft and passenger servicing expense increased by $2.4 million, or 7.0%, and $11.3$8.7 million, or 12.1%25.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2023 as compared to the prior year periods.same period in 2022. The increase during the first quarter is primarily attributed to increased passengers flown, which was a direct result of our higher passenger counts, which resulted in an increase in variousup 27.3% during the same period. We expect aircraft and passenger servicing expenses suchservice expense to increase during the second quarter of 2023, as our food and beverage and ground handling costs.compared to the same period in 2022, as we continue to build international operational capacity.

A portion of our other rentals and landing fees are variable in nature and are dependent on factors such as the number of departures and passengers. The increase was primarily due to increases in landing feefees and other rentals during the first quarter is attributed to an increase in rates and operations as discussed above. We expect other rentals and landing frequencies, and airport rental fees.

Other expense

Other expense decreased $0.7 million, related to (1) a one-time payment to reduce the future 401K employer contribution for certain pilot groups, which is not recoverable once paid and (2) a one-time true-up of the pilot vacation accrual at the revised rates set forth in the agreement.

In April 2017, we executed a sale leaseback transaction with an independent third-party for three Boeing 767-300 aircraft.

During the three-months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized a one-time settlement loss of $15.0 million related to the settlement of a portion of our pilots' other post-retirement medical plan liability, pursuant to which the parties agreed to eliminate the post-65 post-retirement medical benefit for all active pilots and to replace the benefit with a health retirement account (HRA) managed by ALPA. This transaction represented a curtailment and partial settlement of the pilots' other post-retirement benefit plan. In August 2017, we made a one-time cash payment of approximately $101.9 million to fund the HRA and settle the post-65 post-retirement medical plan obligation.

Liquidity and Capital Resources


Our liquidity is dependent on the cash we generate from operating activities and our debt financing arrangements. As of September 30, 2017, we had $348.0 million in cash andCash, cash equivalents and $270.7 million in short-term investments an increase(excluding restricted cash) totaled approximately $1.4 billion as of $8.7 million fromMarch 31, 2023, compared to approximately $1.4 billion as of December 31, 2016.2022.

We also have access to a secured revolving credit and letter of credit facility in an amount of up to $225 million, maturing in December 2019. As of September 30, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.


Cash FlowsFlow and Uses of Liquidity


Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $295.5$118.3 million and $434.9 million forduring the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $22.2 million during the prior year period. Our operating cash flows are impacted by the following factors:

Advanced Ticket Sales. We sell tickets for air travel and 2016, respectively.record the receipt on advance sales as deferred revenue in air traffic liability. The decrease was primarilyair traffic liability typically increases during the winter and spring months as advanced ticket sales grow prior to the summer and fall peak travel seasons and decreases upon utilization during these seasons. The impact of COVID-19 has resulted in a lower level of advanced bookings than historically experienced, which has impacted seasonal trends. As discussed above, we noted marked improvements in air travel demand during the three months ended March 31, 2023, as compared to the same period in 2022; however, overall demand (measured in passengers flown) remains below 2019 levels, down approximately 15.5%, largely due to international travel demand lagging the recovery of domestic travel as a reduction in net income as well as cash expendituresresult of ongoing government restrictions.

Aircraft Fuel. Fuel expense represented approximately 27.1% of our total operating expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to 24.2% during the same period relatingin 2022. The market price for jet fuel is volatile, which can impact the comparability of our cash flows from operations. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the average fuel price per gallon increased 7.8% as compared to the terminated Mergedsame period in 2022.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plan Funding. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and partial settlement2022, we were not required to, and did not, make contributions to our defined benefit and other postretirement plans. Future funding requirements for our defined benefit and other postretirement plans are dependent upon many factors such as interest rates, funded status, applicable regulatory requirements and the level and timing of asset returns. Given available funding credits in the defined benefit plan from past contributions in excess of required minimums, and the financial uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic on our pilots'business, we continue to evaluate whether any cash contributions will be made to our defined benefit plan during 2023.

Operating Lease Obligations. As of March 31, 2023, we had $407.0 million of operating lease obligations, which range between approximately $40.9 million to $90.9 million on an annual basis between 2024 and 2027. We have approximately $74.8 million in operating lease obligations during the remainder of 2023.

Other Commitments. We have certain purchase obligations under which we are required to make minimum payments for goods and services, including, but not limited to aircraft maintenance, IT, capacity purchases, and reservations. Total contractual obligations do not include long-term contracts where the commitment is variable in nature (with no minimum guarantee), such as aircraft maintenance deposits due under operating leases and fees under certain other post-retirement medical plan (as discussed in Note 10).agreements such as aircraft maintenance power-by-the-hour, computer reservation systems and credit card processing agreements, or when the agreements contain short-term cancellation provisions. As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $127.5 million of such obligations, which range from approximately $6.0 million to $22.6 million on an annual basis over the next five years.

In December 2022, we entered into a supplemental agreement to the purchase agreement, pursuant to which (a) we agreed with Boeing to defer delivery of theB787-9 aircraft, the first of which we now expect to receive in the fourth quarter of 2023 with the remaining deliveries scheduled through 2027, as reflected in the table above, and (b)agreed to exercise purchase options for an additional two B787-9 aircraft. Refer to Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
In order to complete the purchase of these aircraft and fund related costs, we may need to secure acceptable financing. We have backstop financing available from aircraft and engine manufacturers, subject to certain customary conditions. Financing may be necessary to satisfy our capital commitments for firm order aircraft and other related capital expenditures. We are also currently exploring variouscan provide no assurance that any financing alternatives,not already in place for aircraft and while we believe that such financingspare engine deliveries will be available to us there can be no assurance that financing will be available when required, or on acceptable terms when necessary or at all.

Net cash used in financing could have an impact on our ability to fulfill our existing purchase commitments and a material adverse effect on our operations.

Stock Repurchase Program and Dividends

In April 2017, our Board of Directors approved a modification to our stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase up to $100activities was $26.0 million of our outstanding common stock. The stock repurchase program is subject to further modification or termination at any time.

Debt and Finance Lease Obligations.During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we repaid $25.0 million and $66.7 million of long-term debt and finance lease obligations, respectively. In January 2022, we made the final scheduled principal payment of $45.1 million for our Class B EETC-13 debt obligation and in June 2022, we paid $71.6 million to extinguish our remaining outstanding Series 2020-1A and Series 2020-1B Equipment Notes. Refer to Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

Future Debt Obligations. As of March 31, 2023, scheduled maturities of our debt remaining in 2023 and 2024 were $29.9 million and $46.6 million, respectively, with scheduled maturities from 2025 through 2027 of $60.1 million, $1.3 billion, and $11.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, scheduled maturities after 2027 aggregate to $151.5 million. In addition, we are obligated to make periodic interest payments at fixed and variable rates, depending on the terms of the applicable debt agreements. Based on applicable interest rates and scheduled debt maturities as of March 31, 2023, these interest obligations total $57.1 million remaining in 2023, $78.4 million in 2024, $77.4 million in 2025, $22.6 million in 2026, $2.7 million in 2027, and $7.7 million thereafter.

As of March 31, 2023, we had $94.7 million of finance lease obligations, which range between approximately $11.3 million to $17.8 million on an annual basis between 2024 to 2027. We have approximately $22.2 million in finance lease obligations during the remainder of 2023.

Return to Shareholders. Pursuant to our receipt of financial assistance under federal Payroll Support Programs, we were restricted from making any stock repurchases or dividend payments through September 30, 2017,2022. We did not repurchase stock or make dividend payments during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Pursuant to the Inflation Reduction Act passed by Congress in August 2022, future stock repurchases will be subject to excise tax.

Undrawn Lines of Credit. As of March 31, 2023, our revolving line of credit remained undrawn and available under our $235.0 million revolving credit facility. In August 2022, we had $49.5 million remaining to spend underrenewed the stock repurchase program. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” of this reportrevolving credit facility for an additional information on the stock repurchase program.three years, maturing in December 2025.
In October 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share payable on November 30, 2017, to stockholders of record as of November 17, 2017.

Credit Card Holdbacks

Holdbacks. Under our bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets set forth in our unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, totaled $1.0 million and $5.0 million asAs of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

2022, there were no holdbacks held by our credit card processors. In the event of a material adverse change in our business, the holdbackscredit card processors could increase holdbacks to an amount up to 100% of the applicableoutstanding credit card tickets that are unflown (e.g., air traffic liability, excluding frequent flyer deferred revenue), which would also result in an increase in the required levelrestriction of restricted cash. If we arewere unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could have a material adverse impact on our operations.operations, business or financial condition.




Pension and Postemployment Benefit Plan Funding

Covenants. We contributed $14.2 millionand$28.6 million (excluding the one-time special charge transactions discussedwere in this Part I. Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the heading "Nonoperating Income (Expense)") tocompliance with covenants contained in our defined benefit and other post-retirement plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively. Future funding requirements for our defined benefit plans are dependent upon many factors such as interest rates, funded status, applicable regulatory requirements and the level and timing of asset returns. See the discussion in this Part I. Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" under the heading "Nonoperating Income (Expense)" concerning special charges for a description of one-time cash payments made into the Merged Plan and our pilots' other post-retirement medical plan which are not included in the amounts above.

(3)Amounts include our firm commitments for aircraft and aircraft related equipment.

(4)Amounts include commitments for services provided by third-parties for aircraft maintenance for our Airbus fleet, accounting, IT, capacity purchases, and the estimated rental payments for a cargo and maintenance hangar. Total contractual obligations do not include long-term contracts where the commitment is variable in nature (with no minimum guarantee), such as aircraft maintenance deposits due under operating leases and fees due under certain other agreements such as aircraft maintenance power-by-the-hour, computer reservation systems and credit card processing agreements, or when the agreements contain short-term cancellation provisions.

(5)Amounts include our estimated minimum contributions to our pension plans (based on actuarially determined estimates) and contributions to our pilots’ disability plan. Amounts are subject to change based on numerous factors, including interest rate levels, the amount and timing of asset returns and the impact of future legislation. We are currently unable to estimate the projected contributions beyond 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures


We believe the disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures is useful information to readers of our financial statements because:


•We believe it is the basis by which we are evaluated by many industry analysts and investors;


•These measures are often used in management and boardBoard of directorsDirectors decision making analysis;


•It improves a reader’s ability to compare our results to those of other airlines; and


•It is consistent with how we present information in our quarterly earningsfinancial results press releases.




See tabletables below for reconciliation between GAAP consolidated net income (loss) to adjusted consolidated net income (loss), including per share amounts (in thousands unless otherwise indicated)., adjusted Operating Costs per Available Seat Mile (CASM), and adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments are described below:


•CBA related expense.
◦In February 2023, pilots represents by ALPA ratified a new four-year CBA, which included, amongst other things, a signing bonus, pay scale increases across all fleet types, improved health benefits and cost sharing, and enhancements to the Company's postretirement and disability plans. In connection with the ratification,
39

we recorded a signing bonus and vacation liability true-up of approximately $17.7 million in wages and benefits during the first quarter of 2023.
◦In February 2022, employees represented by the IAM-M and IAM-C ratified a new CBA, which included a one-time signing bonus of $2.1 million, which was recorded in wages and benefits during the first quarter of 2022.
•Contract termination amortization. In December 2022, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with one of our third-party service providers to early terminate our Amended and Restated Complete Fleet Services Agreement (Amended CFS) covering A330-200 aircraft. The Amended CFS was originally scheduled to run through December 2027, and will now terminate in April 2023. Upon execution of the MOU, we agreed to pay a total of $12.5 million in termination fees, which was recognized in fiscal year 2022. As of December 31, 2022, we had approximately $24.1 million in deferred liabilities to be recognized into earnings over the remaining contract term as contra-maintenance materials and repairs expense. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized approximately $18.1 million in amortization within Maintenance, materials and repairs in the Consolidated Statements of Operation.

•Gain on sale of commercial real estate. In February 2023, we entered into an agreement for the sale of our commercial real estate and recognized a gain on the transaction of $10.2 million, which was recorded in Other operating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

•Interest income on federal tax refund. In March 2023, we received $4.7 million in interest in connection with a $66.8 million federal tax refund received related to fiscal year 2018. The interest was recorded in Interest income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

•Changes in fair value of fuel derivative contracts. Changes in fair value of derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period. This line item includes the unrealized amounts of fuel and interest rate derivatives (not designated as hedges) that will settle in future periods and the reversal of prior period unrealized amounts.
•Unrealized gain on foreign debt. Unrealized gain on foreign debt is based on the fluctuation in exchange rates and the measurement of foreign-denominated debt to our functional currency.
•Unrealized (gain) loss on equity securities. Unrealized (gain) loss on equity securities is driven by changes in market prices and currency fluctuations, which is recorded in Other nonoperating expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
We believe that excludingadjusting for the impact of thesethe changes in fair value of equity securities and fuel derivative adjustmentscontracts, fluctuations in exchange rates on debt instruments denominated in foreign currency, and non-recurring expenses and income/gains (including CBA-related expense, contract termination amortization, interest income on income tax refund, and gain on sale of commercial real estate), helps investors better analyze our operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below.
Loss on extinguishment of debt, net of tax, is excluded to help investors analyze our operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below.
The collective bargaining charge related to (1) a one-time payment to reduce the future 401K employer contribution for certain pilot groups, and (2) a one-time true up of the pilot vacation accrual at the revised rates set forth in an agreement with our pilots represented by ALPA. The loss on sale of aircraft was a result of a sale-leaseback transaction covering three Boeing 767 aircraft as part of the planned exit from our 767 fleet. In August 2017, we terminated the Merged Plan and settled a portion of the pilots other post-retirement medical plan liability. In connection with the reduction of these liabilities we recorded one-time special charges of $35.2 million related to the Merged Plan termination and $15.0 million related to the settlement of a portion of our outstanding other post-retirement medical plan obligation with our pilots. These one-time charges are considered special items by us and are not expected to represent ongoing expenses. We believe that excluding such special items helps investors analyze our operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below.presented.

We have listed separately in the table below our fuel costs per ASM and our non-GAAP unit costs, excluding fuel and specialnon-recurring items. These amounts are included in CASM, but for internal purposes we consistently use unit cost metrics that exclude fuel and specialnon-recurring items (if applicable) to measure and monitor our costs.

Critical Accounting Policies


The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions.


Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those accounting policies and accounting estimates that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties that potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three months ended March 31, 2023. For a detailed discussion of the application ofmore information on our critical accounting policies, see Note 2 herein, "Significant Accounting Policies," Note 10 herein, "Employee Benefits Plans,"Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and the section, titled “Critical Accounting PoliciesAnalysis of Financial Condition and Estimates,” and Note 1, “SummaryResults of Significant Accounting Policies,” toOperations" of our Consolidated Financial StatementsAnnual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 each included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.2022.


The new revenue standard (ASU 2014-09), once effective, will affect our accounting policies and processes (including systems) regarding frequent flyer, ticket breakage, credit card fees, booking fees, and upgrade fee accounting.  The adoption of the standard will have a significant impact on our financial statements, and we are currently in the process of quantifying the effects of the new standard on our financial statements.  See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.



ITEM 3.                QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
We are subject to certain market risks, including commodity price risk (e.g. aircraft fuel prices), interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. WeThere have market-sensitive instruments in the form of financial derivatives used to offset our exposure to aircraft fuel price increases and financial hedge instruments used to hedge our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk. The adverse effects of potentialbeen no material changes in these market risks are discussed below.

The sensitivity analyses presented do not considerrisk from the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity nor do they consider additional actions we might undertake to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results may differ.

Aircraft Fuel Costs

Aircraft fuel costs constitute a significant portion of our operating expense. Fuel costs represented 20%information provided in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and 19% of our operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, and 19% and 18% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Approximately 72% of our fuel was based on Singapore jet fuel prices, 27% was based on U.S. West Coast jet fuel prices, and 1% on other jet fuel prices. Based on the amount of fuel expected to be consumed for the remainder of 2017, for every one cent increase in the cost of a gallon of jet fuel, our fuel expense would increase by approximately $0.7 million, excluding the impact of our fuel hedge program.

We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in the price of jet fuel. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, our fuel hedge program primarily consisted of crude oil call options and jet fuel swaps. Swaps provide for a settlementQualitative Disclosures About Market Risk", in our favor in the event the prices exceed a predetermined contractual level and are unfavorable in the event prices fall below a predetermined contractual level. With call options, we are hedged against spikes in crude oil prices and during a period of decline in crude oil prices we only forfeit cash previously paid for hedge premiums.2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


As of September 30, 2017, we hedged approximately 51% of our projected fuel requirements for the remainder of 2017 with crude oil call options and jet fuel swaps. As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of these fuel derivative agreements reflected a net asset of $8.7 million which is recorded as a prepaid expense and other asset in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We expect to continue our program of offsetting some of our exposure to future changes in the price of jet fuel with a combination of fixed forward pricing contracts, swaps, calls, collars and other option-based structures. We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rates
Changes in market interest rates have a direct and corresponding effect on our pre-tax earnings and cash flows associated with interest-bearing cash accounts. Based on the balances of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2017, a change in interest rates is unlikely to have a material impact on our results of operations.

At September 30, 2017, we had $518.1 million of fixed-rate debt including capital lease obligations, facility agreements for aircraft purchases, and the outstanding equipment notes related to our 2013 EETC financing. Market risk for fixed-rate long-term debt is estimated as the potential increase in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, and amounted to approximately $7.2 million as of September 30, 2017.

Foreign Currency

We generate revenues and incur expenses in foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations through changes in the dollar value of foreign currency-denominated operating revenues and expenses. Our most significant foreign currency exposures are the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. Based on expected remaining 2017 revenues and expenses denominated in Japanese Yen and Australian Dollars, a 10% strengthening in value of the U.S. dollar, relative to the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar, would result in a decrease in operating income of approximately $6.8 million and $4.4 million, respectively, which excludes the offset of the hedges discussed below. This potential impact to the results of our operation is driven by the inherent nature of our international operations, which requires us to accept a large volume of sales transactions denominated in foreign currencies while few expense transactions are settled in foreign currencies. This disparity is the primary factor in our exposure to foreign currencies.

As of September 30, 2017, the fair value of our foreign currency forwards reflected a net asset of $1.4 million and $0.7 million recorded in prepaid expenses and other, and long-term prepayments and other, respectively, in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.



ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures


Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO)principal executive officer and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), performed an evaluationprincipal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) underof the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")Exchange Act)), which have been designed to permit us to effectively identify and timely disclose important information. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEOprincipal executive officer and CFO,principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2023 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Companyus in reports it fileswe file under the Exchange Act, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEOprincipal executive officer and CFO,principal financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.disclosures.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


There
42

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended September 30, 2017 whichthat materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls


A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

BUSINESS RISKS

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had and may continue to have a material adverse impact on our operations and financial performance. We are unable to predict the extent to which the pandemic and related impacts will continue to adversely affect our business operations, liquidity, financial performance, results of operations, financial position or the achievement of our strategic objectives.

Our operations and financial performance have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. While we have experienced increases in demand for travel to and within the state of Hawai'i as COVID-19 infection rates and incidences of severe illness have declined, we cannot predict future developments related to the COVID-19 pandemic and responses thereto, including the emergence of new variants of the virus, periods of increased infection rates, vaccine mandates or recommendations related to travel to and within the state of Hawai'i. As such, the economic consequences of future developments of the COVID-19 pandemic are uncertain, may be rapidly changing and are difficult to predict. The pandemic’s impact on our operations and financial performance, as well as its impact on our ability to successfully execute our business strategy and initiatives, remains uncertain. Further, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and financial performance depends on many factors that are not within our control, including, but not limited, to: governmental,
45

business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic (including restrictions on and requirements related to travel, transport and our workforce).

The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected our operations, financial performance and financial condition to a number of risks, including, but not limited to those discussed below:

•Financial risks: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we experienced a significant decrease in demand for air travel and reduced load capacity on flights. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, our passenger revenue was $548.5 million, up approximately $144.5 million compared to 2022, but down $52.8 million, or 8.8% from the pre-pandemic period in 2019.

•Operations- and customer-related risks: Across our business and as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have faced operational challenges, including continued delay in the recovery of international travel. Although several operational challenges have lessened as governments have lifted or modified travel restrictions, vaccination rates have increased, and demand for air travel has recovered meaningfully on certain routes, we are unable to predict future events that may constrain the recovery of or demand for air travel as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Demand for travel has fluctuated based on current levels of COVID-19 or other infection, and may continue to do so. We expect levels of passenger traffic and revenue, as compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, to improve but remain depressed, particularly with respect to international markets due to delays in resumption of international travel. Additionally, we expect to incur additional costs if we continue to increase the number of flights offered as passenger traffic to the Hawaiian Islands increases, which we will incur before the anticipated additional revenue is earned. Our workforce has been and may continue to be significantly impacted by constrained labor markets, staffing shortages, and the continued spread and health impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a negative impact on our operations. We have implemented enhanced measures to protect the health and safety of our passengers and employees and may be required or determine to take additional safety measures to minimize the transmission of COVID-19 that may further impact our operations and results of operations.

•Legal and regulatory risks: While we ended our vaccine requirement as a condition of employment effective October 1, 2022, we continue to encourage various health and safety measures to protect our guests and our employees from the spread of COVID-19, Despite the removal of the vaccine requirement, we continue to be subject to civil lawsuits and employee grievances that may give rise to legal liability. While we carry employment practices liability insurance, we have become subject to claims related to reasonable accommodation requests, which have resulted and may continue to result in litigation.

The COVID-19 pandemic or similar events may also affect our operating and financial results in ways that are not presently known to us or that we currently do not expect. The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, including, but not limited to, our dependence on leisure travel to Hawai'i, our competitiveness, demand for air travel generally and our services specifically, shifting consumer preferences and our substantial outstanding indebtedness.

Our agreement with Amazon increases the role of cargo in our business model, which may have negative impacts on our operating results and financial condition.

Our business has historically focused on passenger flights. The ATSA with Amazon is anticipated to increase our cargo operations. Historically, our revenue from non-passenger operations, which includes cargo, accounted for approximately 11.6%, 14.1%, and 21.3% of total revenue during the years ending December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, other revenue accounted for 10.5% of our total revenue. Under the ATSA, cargo operations are expected to account for a larger portion of our revenue. Our cargo operations for Amazon may not generate the levels of revenue anticipated. We expect to incur additional costs in order to ramp up and prepare for increased cargo operations, including hiring crew, opening mainland bases and preparing to provide line maintenance for the Amazon fleet. Our pre-service efforts could be costly and be time-consuming and distracting to our management. Additionally, we will incur costs before we generate revenue from our cargo operations for Amazon, which may negatively impact our business and results of operations. Once we begin generating revenue from cargo operations for Amazon, some or all of that revenue will be offset against the value of Amazon’s vested warrant shares due to our accounting policies.

ECONOMIC RISKS

Our business is affected by global economic volatility, including any future economic downturns.
46


Our business and results of operations are significantly impacted by general world-wide economic conditions, including any future current economic downturn. Our business depends on the demand for travel to, from and within the Hawaiian Islands and such demand for discretionary air travel remains unpredictable. Further deterioration or instability in demand, including resulting from any reinstatement of COVID-19 related travel restrictions or recommendations, ongoing economic uncertainty or recession may result in sustained reduction in our passenger traffic and/or increased competitive pressure on fares in the markets we serve, which could continue to negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition. There can be no assurance that we will be able to offset passenger revenue reductions with other revenue, by reducing our costs or by seeking financing arrangements or other programs or opportunities. We also may not have sufficient cash flows to support our debt obligations, on which more detail is provided in Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Recently, concerns have arisen with respect to the financial condition of certain banking institutions in the United States, in particular those with exposure to certain types of depositors and large portfolios of investment securities. In March 2023, both Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") and Signature Bank ("Signature") entered receivership. While we do not maintain accounts with either SVB or Signature, we maintain our cash at other financial institutions in balances that exceed the current Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance limits.If more banks and financial institutions experience financial hardship, enter receivership or become insolvent in the future due to financial conditions affecting the banking system and financial markets, our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents and investments may be threatened and could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition.

Our business is highly dependent on tourism to, from, and amongst the Hawaiian Islands and our financial results have been impacted and may continue to be impacted by the current and any future downturn in tourism levels.

Our principal base of operations is in Hawai'i and our revenue is linked primarily to the number of travelers (mainly tourists) to, from and amongst the Hawaiian Islands. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and government mandates related to travel, we experienced a significant decline in the demand for travel to, from and amongst the Hawaiian Islands. The State of Hawai'i stopped imposing quarantine, testing and vaccination requirements at the end of the first quarter of 2022, but certain foreign government restrictions remained in effect for international travelers during 2022. We have and will continue to incur costs as we further increase our number of flights as passenger traffic to and within the Hawaiian Islands increases, which we incur before the anticipated additional revenue is earned.

Hawai'i tourism levels are generally affected by the economic and political climate impacting air travel and tourism markets generally, including the availability of hotel accommodations, the popularity of tourist destinations relative to other vacation destinations, and other global factors including health crises, natural disasters, safety, and security. While we have seen some increased tourism activity in the state of Hawai'i since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, we cannot predict if and when tourism levels will be sustained at levels seen prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly with respect to international markets. Additionally, from time to time, various events and industry-specific problems such as labor strikes have had a negative impact on tourism generally and in Hawai'i specifically. The occurrence of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, in Hawai'i or other parts of the world, could also have an adverse effect or compound the existing adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic or economic downturn on tourism. In addition, the potential or actual occurrence of terrorist attacks, wars, and/or the threat of other negative world events have had, and may in the future have, a material adverse effect on or compound the ongoing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism.

Our business is highly dependent on the price and availability of fuel.

Our results and operations are heavily impacted by the price and availability of jet fuel. The cost of jet fuel remains high and the availability of jet fuel remains volatile. The cost and availability of jet fuel are subject to political, economic, and market factors that are generally outside of our control, including those related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Prices may be affected by many factors including, without limitation, the impact of political instability, crude oil production and refining capacity, unexpected changes in the availability of petroleum products due to disruptions to distribution systems or refineries, unpredicted increases in demand due to weather or the pace of global economic growth, inventory reserve levels of crude oil and other petroleum products, the relative fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies, government taxes and regulations that increase the price or reduce the availability of jet fuel, and the actions of speculators in commodity markets. Because of the effects of these factors on the price and availability of jet fuel, the cost and future availability of fuel cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Also, due to the competitive nature of the airline industry, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase our fares or other fees to sufficiently offset any increase in fuel prices.

47

While we may enter into derivative agreements to protect against the volatility of fuel costs, there is no assurance that such agreements will protect us during unfavorable market conditions or that counterparties will be able to perform under these hedge arrangements.

See Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162022 for further information regarding our exposure to the price of fuel.

Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our business had been expanding internationally with an increasing percentage of our passenger revenue generated from our International routes. The fluctuation of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies can significantly affect our results of operations and financial condition. For example, the value of the Japanese Yen has experienced significant volatility versus the U.S. dollar recently. Any weakening of the Japanese Yen relative to the U.S. dollar causes our flights, and travel in general, from Japan to Hawai'i to become more expensive to customers in Japan, which could negatively impact our business. To manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates, we periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts and execute payment of expenditures in those locations in local currency. As of March 31, 2023, we have Japanese Yen denominated debt totaling $154.0 million. If our business continues to expand internationally, there is no assurance that these agreements will protect us against foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations during unfavorable market conditions or that our counterparties will be able to perform under these hedge arrangements.

See Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 for further information regarding our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates.

LIQUIDITY RISKS

Our financial liquidity could be adversely affected by credit market conditions.

Our business requires access to capital markets to finance equipment purchases, including aircraft, and to provide liquidity in seasonal or cyclical periods of weaker revenue generation. In particular, we will face specific funding requirements with respect to our obligation under purchase agreements with Boeing to acquire new aircraft. We may finance these upcoming aircraft deliveries; however, the unpredictability of global credit market conditions, particularly in light of the U.S. Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) raising interest rates and taking extraordinary measures to avoid default, may adversely affect the availability of financing or may result in unfavorable terms and conditions.

Our current unencumbered aircraft can be financed to increase our liquidity, but such financings may be subject to unfavorable terms. In light of current market conditions, any such financings are likely to reflect loan-to-value ratios and interest rates and other terms and conditions less favorable than our recent aircraft financings.

Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will not face credit rating downgrades as a result of weaker than anticipated performance of our business or other factors, as demonstrated by our credit rating downgrades in 2020. Future downgrades could adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets.

We can offer no assurance that financing we may need in the future will be available when required or that the economic terms on which it is available will not adversely affect our financial condition. If we cannot obtain financing or we cannot obtain financing on commercially reasonable terms, our business and financial condition may be adversely affected.

Our debt could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and include covenants that impose restrictions on our financial and business operations.

As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $1.5 billion in outstanding commercial debt, excluding funds borrowed under the federal PSP. Our debt and related covenants could:

•require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for other purposes;
•limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate;
•limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our debt, our ability to borrow additional funds;
•place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to other less leveraged competitors and competitors with debt agreements on more favorable terms than us; and
48

•adversely affect our ability to secure additional financing in the future on acceptable terms or at all, which would impact our ability to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purpose needs.

These agreements require us to meet certain covenants. If we breach any of these covenants we could be in a default under these facilities, which could cause our outstanding obligations under these facilities to accelerate and become due and payable immediately, and could also cause us to default under our other debt or lease obligations and lead to an acceleration of the obligations related to such other debt or lease obligations. The existence of such a default could also preclude us from borrowing funds under other credit facilities.

Our ability to comply with the provisions of financing agreements can be affected by events beyond our control and a default under any such financing agreements if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us. In the event our debt is accelerated, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay these obligations or to refinance our debt obligations, resulting in a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

We have entered into agreements with the Treasury pursuant to the CARES Act, the CAA 2021, and the ARP 2021 that have certain operating and other restrictions.

As a condition of receiving grants and loans under the Payroll Support Program 3 Agreement with the Treasury (PSP3 Agreement), we agreed to several restrictive requirements. Currently, we must limit executive compensation through April 1, 2023, which may restrict out ability to incentivize our executives, which may negatively affect our business operations.

We are required to maintain reserves under our credit card processing agreements which could adversely affect our financial and business operations.

Under our bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. As of March 31, 2023, there were no holdbacks held by our credit card processors.

In the event of a material adverse change in our business, the holdback could incrementally increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card activity for all unflown flights, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If we are unable to obtain a waiver, or otherwise mitigate the increase in restricted cash, it could adversely affect our liquidity and also cause a covenant violation under other debt or lease obligations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT RISKS

We operate in an extremely competitive environment.

The airline industry is characterized by low profit margins, high fixed costs, and significant price competition. We compete with other airlines on all of our Domestic and International routes. The commencement of, or increase in, service on our routes by existing or new carriers at aggressive prices has and could continue to negatively impact our operating results, including as demand for air travel rebuilds. Most of our competitors are much larger and have greater financial resources and brand recognition than we do. Moreover, competitors or potential competitors may merge or enter alliances that increase their financial resources and other strategic advantages. Aggressive marketing tactics or a prolonged fare competition initiated by one or more of these competitors could adversely affect our financial resources and our ability to compete in these markets. Additionally, our competitors have been and may continue to be more successful in navigating the challenges related to COVID-19, including having easier access to additional capital and more favorable lending terms, which could impact our ability to compete successfully in the future. Since airline markets have few natural barriers to entry, we also face the constant threat of new entrants in all of our markets.

Additional capacity to or within Hawai'i, whether from network carriers or low-cost carriers, could decrease our share of the markets in which we operate, could cause a decline in our yields, or both, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Inflation may adversely affect us by increasing costs beyond what we can recover through price increases and may contribute to a recession.

49

This year, inflation increased throughout the U.S. economy to levels not seen in decades. Inflation can adversely affect us by increasing the costs of labor, fuel, and other costs as well as by reducing demand for air travel. In an inflationary environment, depending on airline industry and other economic conditions, we may be unable to raise prices enough to keep up with the rate of inflation, which would reduce our profit margins. We have experienced, and continue to experience, increases in the prices of labor, fuel and other costs of providing service. Continued inflationary pressures could impact our profitability.

In response to inflation, the Federal Reserve has increased interest rates in an effort to reduce inflationary pressures. The Federal Reserve's actions increase the risk of a recession in which demand for air travel is reduced, which could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Interest rate increases may adversely affect the fair value of our investments

The Federal Reserve's interest rate increases have reduced and could continue to reduce, the fair value of our investments. Reductions in the fair value of our investments could have a negative impact on our earnings and liquidity.

The concentration of our business within Hawai'i, and between Hawai'i and the U.S. mainland, provides little diversification of our revenue.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 80.7% of our passenger revenue was generated from our Domestic routes. Most of our competitors, particularly major network carriers with whom we compete on North American and Neighbor Island routes, enjoy greater geographical diversification of their passenger revenue. As Domestic routes account for a detailed discussionsignificantly higher proportion of our revenue than they do for most of our competitors, a proportionately higher decline in demand for our domestic routes is likely to have a relatively greater adverse effect on our financial results than on those of our competitors. Sustained reduction in demand on our Domestic routes and continued industry capacity of major network carriers on routes to, from and within Hawai'i could adversely affect our financial results.

Our business is affected by the competitive advantages held by network carriers in the North America market.

The majority of competition on our North America routes is from network carriers such as Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines, all of whom have a number of competitive advantages. Primarily, network carriers generate passenger traffic from and throughout the U.S. mainland, which enables them to attract higher customer traffic levels as compared to us.

In contrast, we lack a comparable direct network to feed passengers to our North America flights and are therefore more reliant on passenger demand in the specific cities we serve. We also rely on our code-share partner agreements (e.g. with JetBlue) to provide customers access to and from North American destinations currently unserved by us. Most network carriers operate from hubs, which can provide a built-in market of passengers depending on the economic strength of the hub city and the size of the customer group that frequents the airline. Our Honolulu and Maui hubs do not originate a large proportion of North American travel, nor do they have the population or potential customer franchise of a larger city to provide us with a significant built-in market. Passengers in the North American market, for the most part, do not originate in Honolulu, but on the U.S. mainland, making Honolulu primarily a destination rather than an origin of passenger traffic.

Our North America and Neighbor Island routes are affected by increased capacity provided by our competitors.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 65.2% of our passenger revenue was generated from our North America and Neighbor Island routes. Prior to, and during the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of our competitors increased capacity to and within Hawai'i by introducing new routes and increasing the frequency of existing routes from North America to Hawai'i and by the introduction of additional flights within the neighbor islands. We are unable to predict competitor capacity related to air travel to Hawai'i or between the neighbor islands. Any increased competitor capacity that decreases our share of traffic to Hawai'i or between the neighbor islands could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our International routes are affected by competition from domestic and foreign carriers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, approximately 19.3% of our passenger revenue was generated from our International routes. When our operations are not constrained by restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, our competitors on these routes include both domestic and foreign carriers. Both domestic and foreign competitors have a number of competitive advantages that may enable them to attract higher customer traffic levels as compared to us.

50

Many of our domestic competitors are members of airline alliances, which provide customers access to each participating airline’s international network, allowing for convenience and connectivity to their destinations. These alliances formed by our domestic competitors have increased in recent years. In some instances, our domestic competitors have been granted antitrust exemptions to form joint venture arrangements in certain geographies, further deepening their cooperation on certain routes. To mitigate this risk, we rely on code-share agreements with partner airlines to provide customers access to international destinations currently unserved by us.

Many of our foreign competitors are network carriers that benefit from network feed to support international routes on which we compete. In contrast, we lack a comparable direct network to feed passengers to our international flights, and are therefore more reliant on passenger demand in the specific destinations that we serve. Most network carriers operate from hubs, which can provide a built-in home base market of passengers. Passengers on our International routes, for the most part, do not originate in Hawai'i, but rather internationally, in these foreign carriers’ home bases. We also rely on our code-share agreements and our relationships with travel agencies and wholesale distributors to provide customers access to and from International destinations currently unserved by us.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THIRD-PARTY RISKS

If we do not maintain the privacy and security of personal information or other information relating to our customers or others, or fail to comply with applicable U.S. and foreign privacy, data protection, or data security laws or security standards imposed by our commercial partners, our reputation could be damaged, we could incur substantial additional costs, and we could become subject to litigation or regulatory penalties.

We receive, retain, transmit and otherwise process personal information and other information about our customers and other individuals, including our employees and contractors, and we are subject to increasing legislative, regulatory and customer focus on privacy, data protection, and data security both domestically and internationally. Numerous laws and regulations in the U.S. and in various other jurisdictions in which we operate relate to privacy, data protection, and security, including laws and regulations regarding the collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure, use and security of personal information and other data from and about our customers and other individuals. For example, in the European Union, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) became effective in 2018.The United Kingdom has adopted legislation that substantially implements the GDPR.Additionally, California enacted the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), effective as of January 1, 2020. , which was modified significantly by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), which became effective in most material respects on January 1, 2023. Other states, including Virginia, Colorado, Utah, Connecticut, and Iowa, have enacted similar legislation. The GDPR and CCPA, other new laws and regulations, and changes in laws or regulations relating to privacy, data protection and information security may require us to modify our practices with respect to the collection, use and disclosure of data. The GDPR provides for significant penalties in the case of non-compliance of up to €20 million or four percent of worldwide annual revenues, whichever is greater. The United Kingdom legislation implementing the GDPR provides for a similar penalty structure. The GDPR, CCPA, CPRA and other existing and proposed laws and regulations can be costly to comply with and can delay or impede our processing of data, result in negative publicity, increase our operating costs and subject us to claims or other remedies. The scope of laws and regulations relating to privacy, data protection, and security is changing, subject to differing interpretations, may be costly to comply with, and may be inconsistent among countries and jurisdictions or conflict with other obligations of ours.

A number of our commercial partners, including payment card companies, have imposed data security standards or other obligations relating to privacy, data protection, or data security upon us. We strive to comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, and contractual and other legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection, and data security. However, these legal, contractual, and other actual and asserted obligations may be interpreted and applied in new ways and/or in manners that are inconsistent, and may conflict with other obligations or our practices.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws or regulations, our privacy or data protection policies, or other actual or asserted privacy-, data protection-, or information security-related obligations to customers or other third parties, or any actual or perceived compromise of security resulting in the unauthorized disclosure, transfer, loss, unavailability, use, or other processing of personal or other information, may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, governmental or private litigation, other liability, our loss of the ability to process payment card transactions, or us becoming subject to higher costs for such transactions, or public statements critical of us by consumer advocacy groups, competitors, the media or others that could cause our current or prospective customers to lose trust in us, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, if third-party business partners that we work with, such as vendors, violate or are alleged to violate applicable laws, applicable policies or other privacy-, data protection-, or security-related obligations, such violations may also put our customers’ or others’ information at risk and could in turn have an adverse effect on our business. Governmental agencies may also request or take customer data for national security or informational purposes, and also can make data requests in connection with criminal or civil investigations or other matters, which could harm our reputation and our business.
51


We will continue our efforts to comply with new and increasing privacy, data protection, and information security obligations; however, it is possible that such obligations may require us to expend additional resources, and may be difficult or impossible for us to meet. Any actual or alleged failure to comply with applicable U.S. or foreign privacy, data protection, or data security laws or regulations, any privacy or security standards imposed by our commercial partners, or any other actual or asserted obligations relating to privacy, data protection, or information security, may result in claims, regulatory investigations and proceedings, private litigation and proceedings, and other liability, all of which may adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our actual or perceived failure to protect customer information or other personal information or confidential information could result in harm to our business.

Our business and operations involve the storage, transmission and processing of information about our customers, our employees and contractors, our business partners, and others, as well as our own confidential information. We have been and may again become the target of cyber-attacks by third parties seeking unauthorized access to any of these types of information or to disrupt our business or operations. Ransomware and other malware, business e-mail compromises, fraudulent sales of frequent flier miles, and general hacking have become more prevalent in our industry. While we have taken steps to protect customer information and other confidential information to which we have access, there can be no assurance that any security measures that we or our third-party service providers have implemented will be effective against current or future security threats. We and our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate attempted security breaches and to implement adequate preventative measures, and our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could be breached or otherwise compromised, we could suffer data loss, corruption, or unavailability, unauthorized access to or use of the systems or networks used in our business and operations, and unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful access to, or disclosure, modification, misuse, loss, unavailability, destruction, or other unauthorized processing of our or our customers’ information. We may also experience security breaches or other incidents that may remain undetected for an extended period. Further, third parties may also conduct attacks designed to disrupt or deny access to the systems and networks used in our business and operations.

Actual or perceived security breaches or other security incidents could result in unauthorized use of or access to systems and networks, unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful access to, or disclosure, modification, misuse, loss, unavailability or destruction of, our or our customers’ information, and may lead to litigation, claims, indemnity obligations, regulatory investigations and other proceedings, severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence and causing damage to our brand, indemnity obligations, disruption to our operations, damages for contract breach, and other liability, and may adversely affect our revenues and operating results. Additionally, our service providers may suffer security breaches or other incidents that may result in unauthorized access or otherwise compromise data stored or processed for us that may give rise to any of the foregoing.

Any such actual or perceived security breach or other incident may lead to the expenditure of significant financial and other resources in efforts to investigate or correct a breach or other incident, address and eliminate vulnerabilities, and to prevent future security breaches or incidents, as well as significant costs for remediation that may include liability for stolen assets or information and repair of system damage that may have been caused, incentives offered to customers or other business partners in an effort to maintain business relationships after a breach, costs in connection with payment card brand fines, and other liabilities. Certain breaches affecting payment card information or the environment in which such information is processed may also result in a loss of our ability to process payment cards or increased costs associated with doing so. We have incurred and expect to incur ongoing expenditures in an effort to prevent information security breaches and other security incidents.

We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for information security liabilities actually incurred or to cover any indemnification claims against us relating to any incident. Furthermore, we cannot be certain that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results, and reputation.

We are increasingly dependent on technology and automated systems to operate our business.

We depend heavily on technology and automated systems to effectively operate our business. These systems include flight operations systems, communications systems, airport systems, reservations systems, management and accounting systems, commercial websites, including www.hawaiianairlines.com, and other IT systems, many of which must be able to accommodate high traffic volumes, maintain secure information and provide accurate flight information, as well as process
52

critical financial transactions. Any substantial, extended, or repeated failures of these systems could negatively affect our customer service, compromise the security of customer information or other information stored on, transmitted by, or otherwise processed by these systems, result in the loss of or damage to important data, loss of revenue and increased costs, and generally harm our business. Additionally, loss of key talent required to maintain and advance these systems could have a material impact on our operations. Like other companies, our systems may be vulnerable to disruptions due to events beyond our control, including natural disasters, power disruptions, software or equipment failures, terrorist attacks, cybersecurity incursions, computer viruses and hackers. There can be no assurance that the measures we have taken to reduce the adverse effects of certain potential failures or disruptions are adequate to prevent or remedy disruptions of our systems or prevent or mitigate all attacks. In addition, we will need to continuously make significant investments in technology to periodically upgrade and replace existing systems. If we are unable to make these investments or fail to successfully implement, upgrade or replace our systems, our operations and business could be adversely impacted. For example, during our transition to the Amadeus Altea Passenger System in April 2023, we experienced, and may continue to experience, intermittent issues, including issues related to our website, mobile and kiosk passenger check-in capability and booking through our website, which could have a significant impact on our operations. We do not carry business interruption insurance sufficient to compensate us for the potentially significant losses, including the potential harm to our business, results of operations, financial condition and reputation that may result from system interruptions or system failures.

We are highly reliant on third-party contractors to provide certain facilities and services for our operations, and termination of our third-party agreements could have a potentially adverse effect on our financial results.

There are a limited number of qualified employees and personnel in the airline and information technology industry, especially within the Hawai'i market. Due to these limitations, we have historically relied on outside vendors for a variety of services and functions critical to our business, including aircraft maintenance and parts, code-sharing, reservations, computer services including hosting and software maintenance, accounting, frequent flyer programs, passenger processing, ground facilities, baggage and cargo handling, personnel training, and the distribution and sale of airline seats. Our reliance on outside vendors may continue to increase in the future.

The failure of any of our third-party service providers to adequately perform their service obligations, or other interruptions of services are likely to reduce our revenues, increase expenses, and/or prevent us from operating our flights and providing other services to our customers. Additionally, our business and financial performance would be materially harmed if our customers believe that our services are unreliable or unsatisfactory.

LABOR RELATIONS AND RELATED COSTS RISKS

We are dependent on satisfactory labor relations.
Labor costs are a significant component of airline expenses and can substantially impact an airline’s results of operations. A significant portion of our workforce is represented by labor unions. We have entered into collective bargaining agreements with our pilots, mechanical group employees, clerical group employees, flight attendants, and dispatchers. We cannot ensure that future agreements with our employees’ labor unions will be on terms in line with our expectations or comparable to agreements entered into by our competitors, and any future agreements may increase our labor costs or otherwise adversely affect our business. We may make strategic and operational decisions that may require the consent of one or more of these labor unions, and these labor unions could demand additional wages, benefits or other consideration in return for their consent.

Application of state and local laws to our operations may conflict with federal laws, or with the laws of other states and local governments, and may subject us to additional requirements and restrictions, which might affect our relationship with our workforce and cause our expenses to increase. Application of conflicting laws may result in operational disruption or have negative effects on our collective bargaining agreements, and any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with federal, state or local labor laws may lead to litigation.

Our operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel and key executives.

We believe that our future success is dependent on the knowledge and expertise of our key executives and highly qualified management, technical, and other personnel. Attracting and retaining such personnel in the airline industry is highly competitive. We cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our key executives or attract other qualified personnel in the future, including in light of the restrictions on executive compensation imposed on us under the PSP and subsequent extensions thereof. Any inability to retain our key executives, or other senior technical personnel, or attract and retain additional qualified executives, could have a negative impact on our operations.

53

In addition, as we rebuild our operations as passenger demand recovers, and expand our operations through the acquisition of new aircraft and introduction of service to new markets, it may be challenging to attract a sufficient number of qualified personnel including pilots, mechanics and other skilled labor. As we compete with other carriers for qualified personnel, we also face the challenge of attracting individuals who embrace our team-oriented, friendly and customer-driven corporate culture. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel who embrace our corporate culture could have a negative impact on our reputation and overall operations.

STRATEGY AND BRAND RISKS
Our failure to successfully implement our route and network strategy could harm our business.
Our route and network strategy (how we determine to deploy our fleet) includes initiatives to increase revenue, decrease costs, mature our network, and improve distribution of our sales channels. It is critical that we execute upon our planned strategy in order for our business to attain economies of scale and to sustain or improve our results of operations. If we are unable to utilize and fill increased capacity provided by additional aircraft entering our fleet, hire and retain skilled personnel, or secure the required equipment and facilities in a cost-effective manner, we may be unable to successfully develop and grow our new and existing markets, which may adversely affect our business and operations.

We continue to strive toward aggressive cost-containment goals which are an important part of our business strategy to offer the best value to passengers through competitive fares while maintaining acceptable profit margins and return on capital. We believe a lower cost structure will better position us to fund our strategy and take advantage of market opportunities. If we are unable to adequately contain our non-fuel unit costs, our financial results may suffer.

Any damage to our reputation or brand image could adversely affect our business or financial results.

Maintaining a good reputation globally is critical to our business. Our reputation or brand image could be adversely impacted by, among other things, any failure to maintain our safety record, our high ethical, social and environmental sustainability practices for all of our operations and activities, our impact on the environment, public pressure from investors or policy groups to change our policies, such as initiatives to address climate change, customer perceptions of our advertising campaigns, sponsorship arrangements or marketing programs, or customer perceptions of statements made by us, our employees and executives, agents or other third parties. Damage to our reputation or brand image or loss of customer confidence in our services could adversely affect our business and financial results, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our reputation.

We also increasingly use social media to communicate news and events. The inappropriate and/or unauthorized use of certain platforms or outlets could damage our brand image and reputation, and could lead to a loss of goodwill with our customers and stakeholders. Inappropriate or unauthorized use of social media could have legal implications if, for example, employees improperly collect or disseminate personally identifiable information of employees, customers or other stakeholders. Further, disclosure of our non-public information by our employees or others, whether intentional or unintentional, through social media could lead to information loss.

Our reputation and financial results could be harmed in the event of adverse publicity, such as in the event of an aircraft accident or incident, or if we are unable to achieve certain sustainability goals.

Our customer base is broad and our business activities have significant prominence, particularly in Hawai'i and other destinations we serve. Consequently, negative publicity, including on social media, resulting from real or perceived shortcomings in our customer service, employee relations, business conduct, third-party aircraft components or other events or circumstances affecting our operations could negatively affect the public image of our company and the willingness of customers to purchase services from us, which could affect our financial results.

Additionally, we are exposed to potential losses that may be incurred in the event of an aircraft accident or incident. Any such accident or incident involving our aircraft or an aircraft operated by one of our code-share partners could involve not only the repair or replacement of a damaged aircraft or aircraft parts, and its consequential temporary or permanent loss of revenue, but also significant claims of injured passengers and others. We are required by the DOT to carry liability insurance, and although we currently maintain liability insurance in amounts consistent with the industry, we cannot be assured that our insurance coverage will adequately cover us from all claims and we may be forced to bear substantial losses incurred with an accident. In addition, any aircraft accident or incident could cause a public perception that we are less safe or reliable than other airlines, which would harm our business.

54

The airline industry is also subject to increasing scrutiny for its greenhouse gas emissions and impact on the environment. We are investing and intend to continue to invest towards achieving our environmental goals. While we are working to achieve our environmental goals, our sustainability plans and our ability to execute those sustainability plans are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, including ongoing support from governments and other third-parties, the need for significant capital investment, and research and development as well as commercialization of new technologies. There can be no guarantee that we can achieve any or all of our environmental goals, and our brand, reputation and financial results may be harmed as a result of our inability to achieve such goals.

Our cargo business will be concentrated with Amazon, and any decrease in volumes or increase in costs, or a termination of our commercial agreement with Amazon, could have a significant impact on our business, operations, financial condition and brand.

We expect that a significant portion of our cargo revenue will consist of air cargo transportation services provided to Amazon under the ATSA. The ATSA does not require a minimum amount of volume or revenue and Amazon is permitted to decrease volume at any time. Our cargo business would not achieve its expected financial benefits if Amazon’s use of our cargo services does not reach forecasted levels for any reason, including due to general economic conditions or preferences of Amazon and its customers. Such a shortcoming could significantly impact our business and results of operations.

In addition, the profitability of the ATSA is dependent on our ability to manage and accurately predict costs. Our projections of operating costs, crew productivity and maintenance expenses contain assumptions, including as to flight hours, aircraft reliability, crewmember productivity, compensation and benefits expense, and maintenance costs. If actual costs are higher than projected or aircraft reliability is less than expected, or aircraft become damaged and are out of revenue service for repair, the profitability of the ATSA and future operating results may be negatively impacted. We also rely on flight crews that are unionized. If collective bargaining agreements increase our costs and we cannot recover such increases, our operating results would be negatively impacted.

Performance under the ATSA is subject to a number of challenges and uncertainties, such as: unforeseen maintenance and other costs; our ability to hire pilots and other personnel necessary to support our services; interruptions in the operations under the ATSA as a result of unexpected or unforeseen events, whether as a result of factors affectingwithin our control or outside of our control; and the level of operations and results of operations, including margins, under the ATSA being less than our current expectations and projections. The ATSA also contains monthly incentive payments for reaching specific on-time arrival performance thresholds, as well as providing for monetary penalties for on-time arrival performance below certain thresholds. As a result, our operating revenues may vary from period to period depending on the achievement of monthly incentives or the imposition of penalties. Further, we could be found in default if we do not maintain certain minimum reliability thresholds over an extended period of time. If we are placed in default due to the failure to maintain reliability thresholds, Amazon may elect to terminate all or part of the services we provide and pursue rights and remedies available to it at law or in equity. The ATSA is also subject to two extension options, which Amazon may choose not to exercise. To the extent that our volume of flying for Amazon is less than we anticipate or costs associated with our cargo business are higher than we forecast, or if the ATSA is terminated for any reason, our business, results of operations and financial condition could be significantly and adversely affected.

Our agreements with Amazon confer certain termination rights which, if exercised or triggered, may result in our inability to realize the full benefits of the agreements.

Our agreements with Amazon give Amazon the option to terminate in certain circumstances and upon the occurrence of certain events of default, including a change of control of Hawaiian or our failure to meet certain performance requirements. In particular, Amazon will have the right to terminate the agreement without cause after March 31, 2027, upon providing us prior written notice of termination and paying an early termination fee.

Upon termination, Amazon will generally, subject to certain exceptions, retain the warrants that have vested prior to the time of termination and, depending on the circumstances giving rise to the termination, may have the right to accelerated vesting of the remaining warrants upon a change of control of our company. Upon termination, Amazon or we may also have the right to receive a termination fee from the other party depending on the circumstances giving rise to the right of termination.

An exercise by Amazon of any of these termination rights could have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.


AIRLINE INDUSTRY, REGULATION AND RELATED COSTS RISKS

The airline industry has substantial operating leverage and is affected by many conditions that are beyond its control, which could harm our financial condition and results of operations.

Due to the substantial fixed costs associated with operating an airline, there is a disproportionate relationship between the cost of operating each flight and the number of passengers carried. However, the revenue generated from a particular flight is
55

directly related to the number of passengers carried and the respective average fares applied. Accordingly, a decrease in the number of passengers carried and, when applicable, the aggregate effect of decreasing flights scheduled, causes a corresponding decrease in revenue that is likely to result in a disproportionately greater decrease in profits. Therefore, the reduction in airline passenger traffic as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and any future reductions as a result of the following or other factors, which are largely outside of our control, will likely harm our business, financial condition, and results of operations:

•decline in general economic conditions;
•threat of terrorist attacks and conflicts overseas;
•actual or threatened war and political instability;
•increased security measures or breaches in security;
•adverse weather and natural disasters;
•changes in consumer preferences, perceptions, or spending patterns;
•increased costs related to security and safety measures;
•increased fares as a result of increases in fuel costs;
•outbreaks of contagious diseases or fear of contagion; and
•congestion or major construction at airports and actual or potential disruptions in the air traffic control system.

Our results of operations are and may continue to be volatile due to the conditions identified above. We cannot ensure that our financial resources will be sufficient to absorb the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic or any unexpected events, including those identified above.

Our operations may be disrupted if we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure at airports within the state of Hawai'i.

We must be able to maintain and/or obtain adequate gates, maintenance capacity, office space, operations areas, and ticketing facilities, especially at airports within the state of Hawai'i, to be able to operate our existing and proposed flight schedules. Failure to maintain such facilities and infrastructure may adversely impact our operations and financial performance.

Our business is subject to substantial seasonal and cyclical volatility.

Our results of operations reflect the impact of seasonal volatility primarily due to passenger leisure and holiday travel patterns. Because of fluctuations in our results from seasonality, operating results for a historical period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a future period and operating results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year. Moreover, due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for air travel generally and travel to and within Hawai'i specifically, we have seen significant declines in demand for air travel in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023 to-date as compared to the years before the COVID-19 pandemic. As Hawai'i is a popular vacation destination, demand from North America, our largest source of visitors, is typically stronger during the months of June, July, August and December and considerably weaker at other times of the year. Because of fluctuations in our results from seasonality, operating results for a historical period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a future period and operating results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

Our cargo operations are also subject to seasonal volatility. Global trade flows are typically seasonal in nature, with peak activity during the retail holiday season. Demand for air cargo capacity is historically low following the seasonal holiday peak in the fourth quarter of the previous year. While we expect our revenues to fluctuate seasonally, a significant proportion of the costs associated with our cargo business, such as crew salaries and benefits, facilities and overhead costs, cannot easily be reduced to match the seasonal drop in demand.

Because of fluctuations in our results from seasonality, operating results for a historical period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a future period and operating results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

Terrorist attacks or international hostilities, or the fear of terrorist attacks or hostilities, even if not made directly on the airline industry, could negatively affect us and the airline industry.

Terrorist attacks, even if not made directly on the airline industry, or the fear of such attacks, hostilities or acts of war, could adversely affect the airline industry, including us, and could result in a significant decrease in demand for air travel, increased security costs, increased insurance costs covering war-related risks, and increased flight operational loss due to cancellations and delays. Any future terrorist attacks or the implementation of additional security-related fees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and on the airline industry in general.
56


The airline industry is subject to extensive government regulation, new regulations, and taxes which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Airlines are subject to extensive regulatory requirements that result in significant costs. New, and modifications to existing, laws, regulations, taxes and airport rates, and charges imposed by domestic and foreign governments have been proposed from time to time that could significantly increase the cost of airline operations, restrict operations or reduce revenue. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from time to time issues directives and other regulations relating to the maintenance and operation of aircraft that require significant expenditures. Some FAA requirements cover, among other things, retirement of older aircraft, security measures, aircraft landing safety measures, including with respect to the interaction of aircraft systems with new technologies such as 5G C-band service, collision avoidance systems, airborne windshear avoidance systems, noise abatement and other environmental concerns, commuter aircraft safety and increased inspections, and maintenance procedures to be conducted on older aircraft. A failure to be in compliance, or a modification, suspension or revocation of any of our DOT/FAA authorizations or certificates, would have a material adverse impact on our operations.

We cannot predict the impact that laws or regulations may have on our operations, nor can we ensure that laws or regulations enacted in the future will not adversely affect our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain necessary governmental approvals. Once obtained, operating permits are subject to modification and revocation by the issuing agencies. Compliance with these and any future regulatory requirements could require us to incur significant capital and operating expenditures.

In addition to extensive government regulations, the airline industry is dependent on certain services provided by government agencies (DOT, FAA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)). Furthermore, because of significantly higher security and other costs incurred by airports since September 11, 2001, many airports have significantly increased their rates and charges to airlines, including us, and may continue to do so in the future. In addition to passenger security requirements, the TSA has adopted comprehensive regulations governing air cargo transportation, covering things like cargo screening and security clearances for people with access to cargo. Additional measures have been proposed, which, if adopted, may have an adverse impact on our ability to efficiently process cargo and could increase our costs.

We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including increased regulation of our CO2 emissions and the potential increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure.

There is increasing global regulatory focus on climate change and emissions of greenhouse gases, including CO2. In particular, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is in the process of adopting rules, including the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), of which the U.S. federal government has opted to participate in the voluntary phases from 2021-2026. As part of the CORSIA program, we are currently monitoring our international emissions for reporting purposes, and such data will be used in calculations to determine subsequent carbon offsetting requirements under the CORSIA program. At this time, we cannot predict the costs of complying with any future obligations under the CORSIA program. Regardless of the method of regulation or application of CORSIA, further policy changes with regard to climate change are possible, which could increase operating costs in the airline industry and, as a result, adversely affect our operations.

In the event that CORSIA does not come into force as expected, we and other airlines could become subject to an unpredictable and inconsistent array of national or regional emissions restrictions, creating a patchwork of complex regulatory requirements that may affect global competitors differently. Concerns over climate change may result in the adoption of municipal, state, regional, and federal requirements or in changing business environments that may result in increased costs to the airline industry and us. In addition, several countries and U.S. states have adopted or are considering adopting programs to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. On January 20, 2021, the United States rejoined the Paris Climate Accord and the current Presidential administration has made climate change mitigation an important policy priority. For example, on September 9, 2021, the current Presidential administration launched the Sustainable Aviation Fuel Grand Challenger to scale up the production of sustainable aviation fuel, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from aviation by 20% by 2030. Additionally, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency pressed for ambitious new aircraft greenhouse gas emission standards at international negotiations organized by ICAO in 2022. The current Presidential administration may adopt additional regulatory changes that could impact the airline industry and our business. Moreover, certain airports have adopted, and others could in the future adopt, greenhouse gas emission or climate-neutral goals that could impact our operations or require us to make changes or additional investments in our infrastructure.

All such climate change-related regulatory activity and developments may adversely affect our business and financial results by requiring us to reduce our emissions, make capital investments to modernize aspects of our operations, purchase carbon offset
57

credits, or otherwise pay for our emissions. Such activity may also impact us indirectly by increasing our operating costs, including fuel costs. We may not be able to increase revenue in proportion with such additional costs.

We could incur significant costs to improve the climate resiliency of our infrastructure and otherwise prepare for, respond to, and mitigate such physical effects of climate change. We could also experience significant operational disruption and increased costs as a result of increases in the frequency, severity and duration of severe weather events caused by climate change. Such severe weather events may increase the incidence of delays and cancellations, increase turbulence-related injuries, impact fuel consumption to avoid weather, require repositioning of aircraft to avoid damage or accommodate changed flights, or reduce demand for travel. We are not able to accurately predict the materiality of any potential losses or costs associated with the physical effects of climate change.

Federal budget constraints may adversely affect our industry, business, results of operations and financial position.

Many of our airline operations are regulated by governmental agencies, including the FAA, the DOT, the CBP, the TSA, and others. If the federal government were to experience issues in reaching budgetary consensus in the future resulting in mandatory furloughs and/or other budget constraints, our business and results of operations could be materially negatively impacted, including as a result of actual or potential disruption in the air traffic control system, actual or perceived delays at various airports, and delays in deliveries of new aircraft, which may materially adversely impact our industry, our business, results of operations and financial positions.

The airline industry is required to comply with various environmental laws and regulations, which could inhibit our ability to operate and could also have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Many aspects of airlines’ operations are subject to increasingly stringent federal, state, local, and foreign laws protecting the environment. U.S. federal laws that have a particular impact on us include the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Act and the Compensation and Liability Act. Compliance with these and other environmental laws and regulations can require significant expenditures, and violations can lead to significant fines and penalties. Governments globally are increasingly focusing on the environmental impact caused by the consumption of fossil fuels and as a result have proposed or enacted legislation which may increase the cost of providing airline service or restrict its provision. We expect the focus on environmental matters to increase.

Concern about climate change and greenhouse gases may result in additional regulation of aircraft emissions in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, other legislative or regulatory action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions is possible. At this time, we cannot predict whether any such legislation or regulation would apportion costs between one or more jurisdictions in which we operate flights. We are monitoring and evaluating the potential impact of such legislative and regulatory developments. In addition to direct costs, such regulation may have a greater effect on the airline industry through increases in fuel costs. The impact to us and our industry from such actions is likely to be adverse and could be significant, particularly if regulators were to conclude that emissions from commercial aircraft cause significant harm to the atmosphere or have a greater impact on climate change than other industries.

Our operations may be adversely affected by our expansion into non-U.S. jurisdictions and the related laws and regulations to which we are subject.

The expansion of our operations into non-U.S. jurisdictions has expanded the scope of the laws and regulations to which we are subject, both domestically and internationally. Compliance with the laws and regulations of foreign jurisdictions and the restrictions on operations that these laws, regulations or other government actions may impose could significantly increase the cost of airline operations or reduce revenue. For example, various jurisdictions have imposed or are currently imposing restrictions that impede or restrict travel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and certain of our destinations in Asia have been revising their privacy and consumer laws and regulations. Limitations placed on our business as a result of these or other laws and regulations or failure to comply with evolving laws or regulations could result in significant penalties, criminal charges, costs to defend ourselves in a foreign jurisdiction, restrictions on operations and reputational damage. In addition, we operate flights on international routes regulated by treaties and related agreements between the U.S. and foreign governments, which are subject to change as they may be amended from time to time. Modifications of these arrangements could result in an inability to obtain or retain take-off or landing slots for our routes, route authorization and necessary facilities. Any limitations, additions or modifications to government treaties, agreements, regulations, laws or policies related to our International routes could have a material adverse impact on our financial position and results of operations.

58

We may be party to litigation or regulatory action in the normal course of business or otherwise, which could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

From time to time, we are a party to or otherwise involved in legal or regulatory proceedings, claims, government inspections, investigations or other legal matters, both domestically and in foreign jurisdictions, including proceedings related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, despite the removal of the COVID-19 vaccine requirement as a condition of employment, we continue to be subject to civil lawsuits and employee grievances that may give rise to legal liability. We believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to vigorously contest such claims. Resolving or defending legal matters, however, can take months or years. The duration of such matters can be unpredictable with many variables that we do not control including adverse party or government responses. Litigation and regulatory proceedings are subject to significant uncertainty and may be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations. In addition, an adverse resolution of a lawsuit, regulatory matter, investigation or other proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We may be required to change or restrict our operations or be subject to injunctive relief, significant compensatory damages, punitive damages, penalties, fines or disgorgement of profits, none of which may be covered by insurance. We may have to pay out settlements that also may not be covered by insurance. There can be no assurance that any of these payments or actions will not be material. In addition, publicity of ongoing legal and regulatory matters may adversely affect our reputation.

Changes in tax laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial conditions.

The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service, the Treasury and state and local tax authorities. Changes in U.S. tax laws or their interpretations (which may have retroactive application) could materially increase the amount of taxes we owe, thereby negatively impacting our results of operations as well as our cash flows from operations. For example, the U.S. recently enacted the Inflation Reduction Act, which, among other changes, implements a 1% excise tax on certain stock buybacks and a 15% alternative minimum tax on adjusted financial statement income of certain companies. Furthermore, our implementation of new practices and processes designed to comply with changing tax laws and regulations could require us to make substantial changes to our business practices, allocate additional resources, and increase our costs, potentially adversely impacting our business, financial position and results of operations.

As we continue to grow internationally, we may also be subject to taxation in jurisdictions around the world with increasingly complex tax laws, the application of which may be uncertain. The amount of taxes we pay in these jurisdictions could increase substantially as a result of changes in the applicable tax principles, including increased tax rates, new tax laws or revised interpretations of existing tax laws and precedents, potentially adversely affecting our liquidity and results of operations. For example, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development proposed a global minimum tax of 15%, which has been adopted by the European Union effective January 1, 2024. In addition, the authorities in these jurisdictions could review our tax returns and impose additional tax, interest and penalties, and the relevant authorities could claim that various withholding requirements apply to us or assert that benefits of tax treaties are not available to us or our subsidiaries, any of which could adversely impact us and our results of operations.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

As of December 31, 2022, we had NOLs available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $236.0 million for federal income tax purposes that have indefinite carryover and approximately $708.0 million for state income tax purposes that will expire, if unused, beginning in 2024. The majority of our state NOLs relate to the state of Hawai'i, most of which have indefinite carryover, but are limited to 80% utilization.

Our ability to use our NOLs will depend on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods. If our financial results continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance that an increase in the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets will not be required in the future. Such valuation allowance could be material. Additionally, due to the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and other economic factors, the NOLs may expire before we can generate sufficient taxable income to use them.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOLs to offset its post-change income may be limited. In general, an “ownership change” will occur if there is a cumulative change in our ownership by “5-percent shareholders” that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. Our ability to use NOLs to reduce future taxable income and liabilities may be subject to annual limitations as a result of prior ownership changes and ownership changes that may occur in the future.
59


Our insurance costs are susceptible to significant increases, and further increases in insurance costs or reductions in coverage could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

We carry types and amounts of insurance customary in the airline industry, including coverage for general liability, passenger liability, property damage, aircraft loss or damage, baggage and cargo liability, and workers’ compensation. We are required by the DOT to carry liability insurance on each of our aircraft. We currently maintain commercial airline insurance with a major group of independent insurers that regularly participate in world aviation insurance markets, including public liability insurance and coverage for losses resulting from the physical destruction or damage to our aircraft. However, there can be no assurance that the amount of such coverage will not change or that we will not bear substantial losses from accidents or damage to, or loss of, aircraft or other property due to other factors such as natural disasters. We could incur substantial claims resulting from an accident or damage to, or loss of, aircraft or other property due to other factors such as natural disasters in excess of related insurance coverage that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, increases in our policy premiums as our policies become eligible for renewal.

Extended interruptions or disruptions in service have and could continue to have a material adverse impact on our operations.

Our financial results have been and may continue to be adversely affected by factors outside our control, including, but not limited to, flight cancellations, significant delays in operations, and facility disruptions, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our principal base of operations is in Hawai'i and a significant interruption or disruption in service has had and may continue to have a serious impact on our business and results of operations. In addition to international health crises, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes and tsunamis, have in the past and may again impact the demand for transportation in the markets in which we operate.

FLEET AND FLEET-RELATED RISKS
We are dependent on our limited number of suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines and parts.

We are dependent on a limited number of suppliers (e.g. Airbus, Boeing, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce) for aircraft, aircraft engines, and aircraft-related items. We are vulnerable to malfunction, failure or other problems associated with the supply and performance of these aircraft and parts and/or related operational disruptions, such as those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Certain of our suppliers, including our supplier of engines for our A321neo aircraft, Pratt & Whitney, have experienced and continue to experience significant supply chain disruptions. We have experienced delays from such suppliers and may experience additional delays and part shortages in the future. These disruptions have and may continue to have a negative impact on our operations, including for example, aircraft out of service due to part unavailability. We do not yet know the full impact of operational disruptions caused by supply chain disruptions of our suppliers, in particular Pratt & Whitney. However, we anticipate continued delays for Pratt & Whitney engines on our A321neo aircraft during 2023. We believe that such disruptions could result in reputational harm, increased parts and maintenance costs, increased aircraft down time, and adverse effects on our financial position and results of operations.

Our agreements to purchase Boeing 787-9 aircraft represent significant future financial commitments and operating costs.
As of March 31, 2023, we had the following firm order commitments and purchase rights for additional aircraft:

Aircraft TypeFirm OrdersPurchase RightsExpected Delivery Dates
A321neo aircraft— 9N/A
B787-9 aircraft128Between 2023 and 2027

We have made substantial pre-delivery payments for aircraft under existing purchase agreements and are required to continue these pre-delivery payments as well as make payments for the balance of the purchase price through delivery of each aircraft. In December 2022, we entered into a supplemental agreement to our B787-9 purchase agreement with the Boeing Company, pursuant to which (a) we agreed with the Boeing Company to defer the delivery of our B787-9 aircraft, the first of which we now expect to receive in the fourth quarter of 2023, with the remaining deliveries scheduled through 2027, and (b) we agreed to exercise purchase options for an additional two B787-9 aircraft with scheduled delivery dates in 2027.

60

These commitments substantially increase our future capital spending requirements and may require us to increase our level of debt in future years. We are continuing to evaluate our options to finance these commitments. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms, or at all.

Delays in scheduled aircraft deliveries or other loss of fleet capacity may adversely impact our operations and financial results.

The success of our business depends on, among other things, the ability to effectively operate a certain number and type of aircraft. As noted above, we are uncertain about the future of our contractual commitments to purchase additional aircraft for our fleet and have and may continue to experience supply chain delays that impact the availability of our aircraft. Our inability to purchase and introduce new aircraft into our fleet could negatively impact our business, operations and financial performance. Even if we proceed with some or all of our contractual commitments to purchase additional aircraft, delays in scheduled aircraft, due to the COVID-19 pandemic or other circumstances, or our failure to integrate newly purchased aircraft into our fleet as planned may require us to utilize our existing fleet longer than expected. Such extensions may require us to operate existing aircraft beyond the point at which it is economically optimal to retire them, resulting in increased maintenance costs.

We may never realize the full value of our long-lived assets such as aircraft and non-aircraft equipment, resulting in impairment and other related charges that may negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.

Long-lived assets used in operations consist principally of property and equipment and had a carrying value of approximately $1.9 billion as of March 31, 2023. Economic and intrinsic triggers, which include the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, extreme fuel price volatility, an uncertain economic and credit environment, unfavorable trends in historical or forecasted results of operations and cash flows, as well as other uncertainties, may cause us to record material impairments of our long-lived assets. Additionally, we could be subject to impairment charges in the future that could have an adverse effect on our financial position and results of operations in future periods.

Long-lived assets are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgement, that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amount. To determine whether impairment exists for aircraft used in operations, assets are grouped at the fleet-type level (the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows) and future cash flows are estimated based on projections of capacity, passenger mile yield, fuel costs, labor costs and other relevant factors. If, at any time, management determines the net carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, the amount is reduced to its fair value during the period in which such determination is made.

We continue to evaluate our current fleet and other long-lived assets for impairment accordingly. As of March 31, 2023, our remaining long-lived assets continued to generate future cash flows from operation of the fleet through the respective retirement dates in excess of their respective carrying values.

COMMON STOCK RISKS

Our share price is subject to fluctuations.

The market price of our stock is influenced by many factors, many of which are outside of our control, and include other factors discussed in the Risk Factors section, as well as the following:

•our operating results and financial condition
•how our operating results and financial condition compare to securities analyst expectations, particularly with respect to metrics for which we do not give guidance, including whether those results significantly fail to meet or exceed securities analyst expectations
•changes in the competitive environment in which we operate
•fuel price volatility including the availability of fuel
•announcements concerning our competitors including bankruptcy filings, mergers, restructurings or acquisitions by other airlines
•increases or changes in government regulation
•general and industry specific market conditions
•changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts
•sales of our common stock or other actions by investors with significant shareholdings

61

In recent years the stock market has experienced volatile price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic conditions, have affected and may continue to affect the price of our common stock.

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against a company following periods of volatility in its stock price. This type of litigation, if filed against us, could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources. In addition, the future sale of a substantial number of shares of common stock by us or by our existing stockholders may have an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock. There can be no assurance that the trading price of our common stock will remain at or near its current level.

We do not expect to repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program or pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

Under the terms of our Payroll Support Program 3 Agreement with the Treasury, we were required to suspend payment of dividends and refrain from engaging in stock repurchases through September 30, 2022. We do not currently anticipate any future repurchases and we cannot provide any assurance that we will initiate any repurchase program again in the future. Additionally, although we have historically issued quarterly dividends, we cannot provide any assurance that we will declare dividends in the future, even though the PSP restrictions are no longer applicable, based on our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, and general business conditions.

Our future earnings and earnings per share, as reported under generally accepted accounting principles, will be impacted by the Amazon warrants.

The warrants held by Amazon are subject to fair value measurements during periods that they are outstanding. Accordingly, future fluctuations in the fair value of the warrants are expected to adversely impact our reported earnings measures from time to time. See Note 12 in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of this report for further information about the warrants issued to Amazon.

If Amazon or the Treasury exercise their rights to acquire shares of our common stock pursuant to the outstanding warrants held by them, such exercise will dilute the ownership interests of our then-existing stockholders and could adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

If Amazon or the Treasury exercise their rights to acquire shares of our common stock pursuant to their warrants, it will dilute the ownership interests of our then-existing stockholders and reduce our earnings per share. In addition, any sales in the public market of any common stock issuable upon the exercise of the warrants by Amazon or the Treasury, or the perception that such sales could occur, could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock. Moreover, the warrants include anti-dilution adjustments for certain issuances of common stock or convertible securities by us. If such anti-dilution adjustments are made, Amazon would receive more shares for the exercise of its warrants than before the anti-dilution adjustment, increasing their dilutive impact.

Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision limiting voting and ownership by non-U.S. citizens and our bylaws include a provision specifying an exclusive forum for stockholder disputes.

To comply with restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines, our certificate of incorporation restricts voting of shares of our common stock by non-U.S. citizens. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the failure of non-U.S. citizens to register their shares on a separate stock record, which we refer to as the “foreign stock record,” would result in a suspension of their voting rights in the event that the aggregate foreign ownership of the outstanding common stock exceeds the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law.

Our certificate of incorporation further provides that no shares of our common stock will be registered on the foreign stock record if the amount so registered would exceed the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law. If it is determined that the amount registered in the foreign stock record exceeds the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law, shares will be removed from the foreign stock record in reverse chronological order based on the date of registration therein, until the number of shares registered therein does not exceed the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law. As of March 31, 2023, we believe we were in compliance with the foreign ownership rules.

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, any other state or federal court located in the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a
62

fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, stockholders or other employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers, stockholders or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as each may be amended or restated from time to time); or (iv) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Our amended and restated bylaws further provide that the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for resolving any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Accordingly, stockholders may be limited in the forum in which they are able to pursue legal actions against us.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and our issuance of warrants to Amazon, may delay or prevent a change of control, which could materially adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make it difficult to remove our Board of Directors and management, and may discourage or delay a change of control, which could materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock. These provisions include, among others:

•the ability of our Board of Directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, series of undesignated preferred stock, or rights to acquire preferred stock, that could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, holders of our common stock or could also be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control;
•advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be considered at stockholders’ meetings and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;
•the ability of our Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the board;
•a prohibition against stockholders taking action by written consent;
•a prohibition against stockholders calling special meetings of stockholders; and
•super-majority voting requirements to modify or amend specified provisions of our certificate of incorporation.

In addition, some terms of the agreements between us and Amazon may discourage attempts to acquire our company. Amazon is entitled to notice of certain transactions, including transactions that might result in a change of control of Hawaiian, ten days before we enter into a definitive agreement related to such transactions, subject to certain exceptions. Also, the vesting of the warrants issued by us to Amazon will generally, subject to certain exceptions, be accelerated upon a change of control of the Company.

If Amazon exercises its right to acquire additional shares of our common stock pursuant to its warrants, Amazon may become a significant stockholder.

The warrants issued by us to Amazon grant Amazon the right to purchase, in the aggregate, up to 15%, as of the date of the agreements, of our common stock on a post-issuance basis. If the warrants issued to Amazon, including pursuant to any anti-dilutive adjustments, are exercised, Amazon may become a significant stockholder of our company.

If securities analysts do not publish research or reports about us, or if they issue unfavorable commentary about us or our industry or downgrade the outlook of our common stock, the market price of our common stock could decline.

The trading market for our common stock will depend in part on the research and reports that third-party securities analysts publish about us and our industry. One or more analysts could downgrade the outlook for our common stock or issue other negative commentary about us or our industry. Furthermore, if one or more of these analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market. In addition, analysts and other market observers assessing our performance and prospects will take into account our existing and future amounts of debt, securities offerings, and any offers by us to repurchase our securities. As a result of one or more of these factors, the market price of our common stock could decline and cause you to lose all or a portion of your investment.

SECURITIES OFFERINGS RISKS

In connection with the issuance of Hawaiian’s enhanced equipment trust certificate, our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, and consequently expose us to risks that could materially adversely affect the resources available to us and Hawaiian to satisfy our obligations under such certificates.

As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding principal balance of our enhanced equipment trust certificate (EETC) issuances was $173.3 million. Offerings of structured finance securities, such as the EETC issuances may present risks similar to those of the other types of debt obligations in which we or Hawaiian may invest and, in fact, such risks may be of greater significance in the
63

case of such structured finance securities. In addition, the performance of the EETCs will be affected by a variety of factors, including its priority in the capital structure of the issuer thereof, and the availability of any credit enhancement, the level and timing of payments and recoveries on and the characteristics of the underlying receivables, loans or other assets that are being securitized, remoteness of those assets from the originator or transferor, the adequacy of and ability to realize upon any related collateral and the capability of the servicer of the securitized assets. If we or Hawaiian fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under such indebtedness when due, then we or Hawaiian would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in ours or Hawaiian’s other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.

In connection with the issuance of the senior secured notes due 2026, our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for Hawaiian’s operations, and consequently expose us to risks that could materially adversely affect the resources available to us to satisfy our obligations under the Notes.

In February 2021, we conducted a private offering of 5.75% senior secured notes due 2026 (the Notes) collateralized by certain loyalty and brand assets (Notes Offering). The indebtedness of Hawaiian and its subsidiaries increased significantly as a result of the Notes Offering. As of March 31, 2023, Hawaiian had approximately $1.6 billion of total indebtedness (excluding finance lease obligations of approximately $94.7 million and operating lease obligations of $407.0 million). We incurred approximately $1.2 billion principal amount of indebtedness as a result of the Notes Offering. We may also incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. The indebtedness of Hawaiian and its subsidiaries could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and the resources available to satisfy our obligations under the Notes, including the following:

•greater difficulty satisfying our obligations with respect to the Notes;
•increasing Hawaiian’s vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;
•limiting Hawaiian’s ability to obtain additional financing;
•requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of Hawaiian’s cash flow from operations to service Hawaiian’s indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes;
•limiting Hawaiian’s flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in its business;
•placing Hawaiian at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital; and
•potentially causing Hawaiian’s credit ratings to be reduced and causing our and Hawaiian’s debt and equity securities to significantly decrease in value.

Hawaiian’s business, including the HawaiianMiles Program, may not generate sufficient funds, and we and Hawaiian may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our and Hawaiian’s indebtedness, including the Notes, and our and Hawaiian’s cash needs may increase in the future. In addition, future indebtedness that we or Hawaiian may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, including with respect to the HawaiianMiles Program, raise capital or make payments under our or Hawaiian’s indebtedness. If we or Hawaiian fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under ours or Hawaiian’s indebtedness when due, then we or Hawaiian would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in ours and Hawaiian’s other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.

RESTATEMENT OF OUR CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RISKS

In the past, we have had to restate our previously issued consolidated financial statements and as part of that process identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022. If we are unable to develop and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results in a timely manner, which may adversely affect investor confidence in us and may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

On October 21, 2022, the Audit and Finance Committee of our Board of Directors concluded, after discussion with our management, that our consolidated unaudited financial statements as of and for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 (collectively, the "Non-Reliance Periods") included in the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC for the Non-Reliance Periods, (1) should no longer be relied upon due to an error in accounting for net unrealized losses from equity securities, as further described below, and (2) would require restatement. As a result of this restatement, our management re-evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022 and evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2022. Management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022, and that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of March 31, 2022, June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2022 due to a material weakness. Specifically, there was a lack of effectively designed control activity over the accounting for unrealized gains and losses on equity securities.
64


A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented, or detected on a timely basis. Effective internal control over financial reporting is necessary for us to provide reliable financial reporting and prevent fraud. We concluded that we remediated the material weakness as of December 31, 2022.

Any failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could adversely impact our ability to report our financial condition and results of operations on a timely and accurate basis. If our financial statements are not accurate, investors may not have a complete understanding of our operations. Likewise, if our financial statements are not filed on a timely basis, we could be subject to sanctions or investigations by the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In either case, there could be an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Ineffective internal control over financial reporting could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information which could have a negative effect on the trading price of our stock.

We can give no assurance that the measures we took and plan to take in the future will prevent the occurrence of additional material weaknesses or restatements of financial results in the future due to a failure to implement or maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting or circumvention of these controls. In addition, even if we are successful in strengthening our controls and procedures, in the future those controls and procedures may not be adequate to prevent or identify irregularities or errors or to facilitate the fair presentation of our consolidated financial statements.

We may face litigation and other risks as a result of the restatement and material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.

As part of the restatement, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which was remediated as of December 31, 2022. As a result of such material weakness, the restatement, the change in accounting for unrealized gains and losses on equity securities, and other matters raised or that may in the future be raised by the SEC, we face potential for litigation or other disputes which may include, among others, claims invoking the federal and state securities laws, contractual claims or other claims arising from the restatement and the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have no knowledge of any such litigation or dispute. However, we can provide no assurance that such litigation or dispute will not arise in the future. Any such litigation or dispute, whether successful or not, could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The stock repurchase program is subject to modification or termination at any time.

We spent $46.2 million and $50.5 million to repurchase and retire approximately 1.1 million shares and 1.2 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.
