Pinnacle Airlines Reports Fourth Quarter 2007 Financial Results

MEMPHIS, TN – February 21, 2008 – Pinnacle Airlines Corp. (NASDAQ: PNCL) (“the “Company”) today reported fourth quarter 2007 net income and fully diluted earnings per share (“EPS”) of $6.7 million and $0.32, respectively, excluding a potential one-time, non-cash charge that the Company is analyzing as further discussed below.  The Company’s net income and EPS were $12.3 million and $0.56, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2006, excluding nonrecurring items.  The 2007 financial results reflect the contractual changes in the airline services agreement (the “ASA”) between the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Pinnacle Airlines, Inc. (“Pinnacle”), and Northwest Airlines, Inc. (“Northwest”) that became effective January 1, 2007, and include the financial results of Colgan Air, Inc. (“Colgan”), the airline acquired by the Company in January 2007.  See further discussion under “Fourth Quarter 2007 Financial and Operating Results.”

The Company is analyzing a potential one-time, non-cash charge related to its deferred tax liability.  The potential adjustment could reduce 2007 net income by approximately $7.4 million.  The Company expects to complete its analysis of this item in order to file its Form 10-K timely with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Fourth Quarter 2007 Significant Accomplishments

·     Delta Connection Operations Begin: On December 1, Pinnacle, launched its first CRJ-900 regional jet for Delta Air Lines as a Delta Connection carrier.  In the first month of operation, Pinnacle achieved a 100% completion rate utilizing just one aircraft.  Pinnacle currently has four CRJ-900 aircraft in service under its Delta Connection agreement, and will add the remaining 12 aircraft through early 2009.  Pinnacle’s CRJ-900 aircraft contain enhanced cabin upgrades, providing for superior passenger comfort as compared to previous versions of the CRJ-900.

·   Delivery of First Q400 Next-Generation Turbo Prop:  The Company’s other wholly owned subsidiary, Colgan Air, Inc. (“Colgan”), received the first of 15 Bombardier Q400 turboprops in early January, after a successful effort to plan for their delivery during the fourth quarter of 2007.  The 74-seat aircraft have superior passenger comfort as compared to 50-seat regional jets, and unique performance capabilities provide an operational advantage in congested areas.  The environmentally friendly “green” aircraft has a lower fuel burn, lower emissions and reduced noise levels, and operating costs at or below that of a 50-seat regional jet.  Colgan began operations with the Q400 aircraft on February 4 with two aircraft, and will place the remaining aircraft into service during the first half of 2008.

·     Repurchase of Shares Held by Northwest: In November 2007, the Company purchased 2,492,060 shares of its outstanding common stock from Northwest Airlines Corp. (“Northwest”) at a discounted purchase price of $13.22 per share for total consideration of approximately $33 million.  On January 2, 2008, the Company purchased its Series A Preferred Share from Northwest at a purchase price of $20 million in accordance with previously negotiated terms entered into as part of Northwest’s assumption of Pinnacle’s ASA in December 2006.  The Company has repurchased approximately 20% of its outstanding common stock since implementing a share repurchase program in May 2007.  In addition, repurchasing Northwest’s common and preferred holdings represent the last step in removing all corporate governance ties between the Company and Northwest.  Both the Company and Northwest can now focus on their relationship as independent airline business partners.

“I am proud of our People at both our Pinnacle and Colgan subsidiaries,” said Philip Trenary, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pinnacle Airlines Corp.  “Each of our operating subsidiaries achieved governmental certification and introduced a new fleet type into service in near record time.  While we are disappointed that Colgan’s financial performance suffered in 2007 due to high fuel prices in Colgan’s pro-rate operations, we expect our new capacity purchase agreements with Continental and Delta using Q400 and CRJ-900 aircraft to be very successful long-term opportunities for our airline subsidiaries.”

Fourth Quarter 2007 Financial and Operating Results

Pinnacle completed 109,787 block hours and 65,820 departures, increases of 5% and 4%, respectively, over the same period in 2006.  The primary reason for the increases was the 11% increase in Pinnacle’s operating fleet as compared to 2006.  Colgan completed 32,242 block hours and 27,189 departures during the fourth quarter.

1

The Company recorded operating revenue of $201.1 million, a decrease of $3.4 million, or 2%, over the same period in 2006.  Operating revenue was reduced by approximately $81.2 million for contractual changes in Pinnacle’s ASA with Northwest.  The amortization of net deferred revenue associated with Pinnacle’s ASA also increased revenue by approximately $6.1 million.  The acquisition of Colgan increased the Company’s consolidated revenue by approximately $49.4 million.

Consolidated operating income and operating margin were $9.4 million and 4.7%, respectively.   Inclusive of corporate expenses that have historically been presented with Pinnacle’s operations, Pinnacle achieved an operating margin of 9.5%, while Colgan recorded a negative operating margin of (10.0)%.  Consolidated operating income and operating margin for the fourth quarter of 2006 were approximately $19.6 million and 9.6%, respectively, excluding nonrecurring charges.  Contractual changes under Pinnacle’s ASA with Northwest reduced operating income by $4.9 million, inclusive of the amortization of net deferred revenue associated with the ASA.  In addition, Pinnacle recorded an additional $0.5 million in the fourth quarter related to the settlement of performance penalties for the first half of 2007.  Colgan’s operating loss of $4.9 million was caused by a number of factors.  First and foremost, Colgan incurred a significant increase in the cost of fuel for its pro-rate operations.  The average price of fuel increased by 29% since the first quarter of 2007, increasing Colgan’s operating costs by approximately $2.6 million during the fourth quarter.  In addition, the fourth quarter is historically a period of low passenger demand for Colgan.  The traditional seasonal decline in revenue was exacerbated by challenging weather conditions in the northeast, which caused Colgan to cancel a larger number of flights than normal.  Both of the Company’s subsidiaries also incurred training and other start-up costs during the fourth quarter as each company prepared to begin operations with the CRJ-900 and Q400 aircraft.

The Company and Colgan’s management team plan to take steps in 2008 to improve Colgan’s financial performance.  The Company expects that Colgan’s new Q400 operations under its capacity purchase agreement with Continental will be profitable in 2008.  In addition, Colgan is in the process of transitioning nine markets previously serviced through Pittsburgh as a US Airways Express carrier to Washington/Dulles International airport as a United Express carrier.  United Airlines maintains a large hub at Washington/Dulles, providing for significant connecting opportunities for Colgan’s passengers.  Further, Colgan’s management team is planning a number of initiatives to reduce the operating cost of Colgan’s pro-rate operations.  These initiatives include transitioning Colgan’s maintenance base in Manassas, Virginia to Washington/Dulles, which will eliminate a significant number of non-revenue producing ferry flights.  The Company and Colgan plan to evaluate each of Colgan’s pro-rate markets, including markets operated under essential air service subsidies from the federal government, to determine the long-term viability of each market in light of the large increase in Colgan’s fuel costs.

Total nonoperating income for the fourth quarter was approximately $0.4 million, an increase of approximately $1.1 million as compared to the fourth quarter of 2006.  This is primarily attributable to a $2.3 million increase in interest income from the Company’s significantly larger short-term investment portfolio.  This increase was offset by an increase in interest expense of $1.3 million, primarily due to the addition of interest expense associated with Colgan’s owned Saab 340 aircraft fleet and the interest associated with borrowings for the acquisition of the CRJ-900 aircraft that delivered during the fourth quarter.

Year-to-Date 2007 Financial and Operating Results

Pinnacle completed 438,988 block hours and 265,418 departures, increases of 6% and 6%, respectively, over 2006.  The Company’s Colgan subsidiary completed 126,675 block hours and 107,171 departures from the acquisition date of January 18, 2007 through the end of the year.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded operating revenue of $787.4 million, a decrease of $37.2 million, or 5%, over 2006.  Operating revenue was reduced by approximately $323.8 million for contractual changes in the ASA.  The amortization of net deferred revenue associated with Pinnacle’s ASA also increased revenue by approximately $22.6 million.  The acquisition of Colgan increased the Company’s consolidated revenue by approximately $192.3 million.

Operating income and operating margin were $52.1 million and 6.6%, respectively, year-to-date.  Excluding nonrecurring items related to a decrease in Saab return condition accruals of approximately $1.0 million, operating income and operating margin were $51.0 million and 6.5%, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Inclusive of corporate costs historically presented as part of Pinnacle’s financial results, Pinnacle achieved a full year operating margin of 9.5%, while Colgan recorded a negative operating margin of (2.3)% for 2007.  Consolidated operating income and operating margin were approximately $85.3 million and 10.3%, respectively, excluding nonrecurring items, for 2006.  Contractual changes in Pinnacle’s ASA with Northwest, net of the related amortization of deferred revenue, reduced operating income by approximately $21.1 million for 2007.   In addition, Pinnacle recorded $2.9 million in performance penalties related to the first half of 2007.  Pinnacle’s operating income also declined by $5.8 million, primarily as a result of increased costs associated with training for additional pilots due to the industry-wide increase in pilot attrition in 2007, and costs associated with the induction of the CRJ-900 aircraft into Pinnacle’s fleet.  Colgan’s operating loss of $4.5 million further contributed to the year-over-year decline in operating income.

2

Net income and EPS for the year ended December 31, 2007 were $34.6 million and $1.50, respectively, excluding the potential one-time, non-cash charge that the Company is analyzing related to its deferred tax liability.  Excluding nonrecurring items related to a $4.1 million loss on the Company’s Northwest claim sale and a decrease in Saab return condition accruals of approximately $1.0 million, net income and EPS were $36.6 million and $1.59, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2007.  Excluding nonrecurring items, net income and EPS for the year ended December 31, 2006 were $52.7 million and $2.40, respectively.

Cash and Short-Term Investments

The Company ended the year with cash and short-term investments totaling $213.6 million. The Company’s balance of cash and short-term investments decreased by approximately $31.5 million during the fourth quarter, primarily as a result of the Company’s $33 million purchase of common shares from Northwest.
