	Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the Company or Holdings) is a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company’s primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian). The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).  Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial position for the periods presented.  Due to seasonal fluctuations, among other factors common to the airline industry, the results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year.  The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

	In October 2013, Hawaiian entered into a co-branded credit card agreement, which provides for the sale of frequent flyer miles to Barclays Bank Delaware (Barclays) beginning in 2014. The agreement is a new multiple element arrangement subject to Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASU 2009-13), which is effective for new and materially modified revenue arrangements entered into by the Company after January 1, 2011.  ASU 2009-13 requires the allocation of the overall consideration received to each deliverable using the estimated selling price.  The objective of using estimated selling price based methodology is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis.
	The following four deliverables or elements were identified in the agreement: (i) travel miles; (ii) use of the Hawaiian brand and access to member lists; (iii) advertising elements; and (iv) other airline benefits including checked baggage services and travel discounts.  The Company determined the relative fair value of each element by estimating the selling prices of the deliverables by considering discounted cash flows using multiple inputs and assumptions, including: (1) the expected number of miles to be awarded and redeemed; (2) the estimated weighted average equivalent ticket value, adjusted by a fulfillment discount; (3) the estimated total annual cardholder spend; (4) an estimated royalty rate for the Hawaiian portfolio; and (5) the expected use of each of the airline benefits. The overall consideration received is allocated to each deliverable based on their relative selling prices.  The transportation element will be deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over the period when the transportation is expected to be provided (22 months).  The other elements will generally be recognized as other revenue when earned.
	In the previous co-branded credit card agreement, the estimated fair value of the transportation element was deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over a period of 22 months.  Amounts received in excess of the transportation’s estimated fair value were recognized immediately as other revenue.
	The impact of applying the new accounting method for the three months ended March 31, 2014 was immaterial to the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.

	Basic loss per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net loss available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
	Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

	The table below summarizes those common stock equivalents that could potentially dilute basic earnings per share in the future but were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because the instruments were antidilutive.

	In March 2011, the Company entered into a Convertible Note transaction which included the sale of convertible notes, purchase of call options and sale of warrants. The Company’s 5% Convertible Notes due in 2016 with a current principal amount of $86.25 million can be redeemed with either cash or the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option.  The 10.9 million shares into which the Convertible Notes could be converted will not impact the dilutive earnings per share calculation in the current and future periods under the if-converted method, as the Company has the intent and ability to redeem the principal amount of these notes with cash. Although the average share price of the Company’s common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 exceeded the conversion price of $7.88 per share, shares related to the conversion premium of the Convertible Note (for which share settlement is assumed for EPS purposes) are not included in the Company’s computation of diluted earnings per share as the Company is in a net loss position for the period and the effect would be antidilutive. However, the shares required to settle the conversion premium of the Convertible Note could be dilutive in future periods.
	In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate call option transactions and separate warrant transactions with certain financial investors to reduce the potential dilution of the Company’s common stock and to offset potential payments by the Company to holders of the Convertible Notes in excess of the principal of the Convertible Notes upon conversion.
	The call options to repurchase the Company’s common stock will always be antidilutive and, therefore, will have no effect on diluted earnings per share and are excluded from the table above.
	Although the average share price of the Company’s common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 exceeded the warrant strike price of $10.00 per share, the assumed conversion of the warrants are not included in the Company’s computation of diluted earnings per share as the Company is in a net loss position for the period and the effect would be antidilutive. However, the warrants could be dilutive in future periods.

	6.  Fair Value Measurements
	ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820) clarifies that fair value is 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.
	The tables below present the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Changes to those discount rates would be unlikely to cause material changes in the fair value of the negative arbitrage derivative (refer to Notes 7 and 10 for more information). The table below presents disclosures about the activity for the Company’s “Level 3” financial liability:

The fair value estimates of the Company’s debt were based on either market prices or the discounted amount of future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities.
The carrying amounts of cash, other receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to its short-term nature.

	7.  Financial Derivative Instruments
	The Company uses derivatives to manage risks associated with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impact of fluctuations in global fuel prices, interest rates and foreign currencies.
	In addition, in 2013, the Company recognized in its Consolidated Balance Sheets the financial effect of the net interest owed to the trusts that issued the Company’s enhanced equipment trust certificates. The characteristics of the net interest obligation resulted in the obligation meeting the definition of a derivative instrument under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815).
	Fuel Risk Management
	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 months ended March 31, 2014, the Company primarily used heating oil puts and 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, any changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are adjusted through other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.
	The following table reflects the amount of realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded as nonoperating income (expense) in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
		Three months ended
		March 31,
	Fuel derivative contracts	2014			2013
		(in thousands)
	Gains (losses) realized at settlement	$	110		$	(2,696	)
	Reversal of prior period unrealized amounts	(1,256		)	2,796
	Unrealized losses on contracts that will settle in future periods	(5,753		)	(6,661		)
	Losses on fuel derivatives recorded as Nonoperating income (expense)	$	(6,899	)	$	(6,561	)
	Interest Rate Risk Management
	The Company is exposed to market risk from adverse changes in interest rates associated with its long-term debt obligations. Market risk associated with fixed-rate and variable-rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from an increase in interest rates.
	To limit the Company’s exposure to interest rate risk inherent in one of its variable-rate debt, which was used to finance an aircraft delivered in 2013, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swap agreement.  The interest rate swap agreement is designated as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815.
	The effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which interest is accrued. The effective portion of the interest rate swap 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 in nonoperating income (expense).
	The Company believes that its derivative contracts will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. The Company reclassified net losses from AOCI to interest expense of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company expects to reclassify a net loss of approximately $0.8 million into earnings over the next 12 months from AOCI based on the values at March 31, 2014.
	Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Management
	The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk due to revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, with the primary exposures being the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. To manage exchange rate risk, the Company executes its international revenue and expense transactions in the same foreign currency to the extent practicable.
	The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815, to further manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates. The effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of 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 income (expense).
	The Company believes that its foreign currency forward contracts will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. The Company reclassified gains from AOCI to passenger revenue of $3.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014. The Company expects to reclassify a net gain of approximately $4.7 million into earnings over the next 12 months from AOCI based on the values at March 31, 2014.
	Negative Arbitrage Derivative
	In 2013, the Company created two pass-through trusts, which issued $444.5 million aggregate principal amount of EETCs. See Note 10 for further information related to the EETCs. In accordance with the related agreements, the Company is obligated to pay the interest that accrues on the proceeds and is also entitled to the benefits of the income generated from the same proceeds. The difference between the interest owed to the pass-through trusts and the interest generated from the proceeds introduces an element of variability that could cause the associated cash flows to fluctuate. This variability requires the Company’s obligation to the trusts to be recognized as a derivative in the Company’s unaudited consolidated financial statements.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, approximately $9.2 million of the derivative was reduced in connection with the first interest payment made to the trusts.
	The following tables present the gross fair value of asset and liability derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 and derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, as well as the net derivative positions and location of the asset and liability balances within the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Risk and Collateral
The 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) periodically 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 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’s overall exposure.
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’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 collateral posted with its counterparties as of March 31, 2014 or December 31, 2013.

	*                                         See below for a detailed discussion of the committed financings Hawaiian has received for its upcoming capital commitments for aircraft deliveries.
	Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates (EETC)
	In 2013, Hawaiian consummated an EETC financing, whereby it created two pass-through trusts, one of which issued $328.2 million aggregate principal amount of Class A pass-through certificates with a stated interest rate of 3.9% and the second of which issued $116.3 million aggregate principal amount of Class B pass-through certificates with a stated interest rate of 4.95%. The proceeds of the issuance of the Class A and Class B pass-through certificates were to be used to purchase equipment notes to be issued by Hawaiian to finance the purchase of six (6) new Airbus aircraft scheduled for delivery from November 2013 through October 2014.  During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company received $147.8 million in proceeds from the issuance of the equipment notes, which it used to fund a portion of the purchase price of two Airbus aircraft. The remaining proceeds will be used to purchase equipment notes to be issued by Hawaiian to finance the purchase of three (3) new Airbus aircraft scheduled for delivery through October 2014. The equipment notes are secured by a lien on the aircraft, and the payment obligations of Hawaiian under the equipment notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Company issues the equipment notes to the trusts as aircraft are delivered to Hawaiian. Hawaiian records the debt obligation upon issuance of the equipment notes rather than upon the initial issuance of the pass-through certificates. In connection with consummation of the EETC financing transaction, Hawaiian was required to deposit $16.0 million into a collateral account, of which $0.6 million was released during the quarter. The funds held in this account are under the control of a third party. Accordingly, these funds are classified as restricted cash in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
	The Company evaluated whether the pass-through trusts formed are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) required to be consolidated by the Company under applicable accounting guidance, and determined that the pass-through trusts are VIEs. The Company determined that it does not have a variable interest in the pass-through trusts. Neither the Company nor Hawaiian invested in or obtained a financial interest in the pass-through trusts. Rather, Hawaiian has an obligation to make interest and principal payments on its equipment notes held by the pass-through trusts, which will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Neither the Company nor Hawaiian intends to have any voting or non-voting equity interest in the pass-through trusts or to absorb variability from the pass-through trusts. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it is not required to consolidate the pass-through trusts.
	Litigation and Contingencies
	The Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its operations. Management 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.
	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 the contract. It is common in such lease transactions for the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third-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 their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, the lessee typically indemnifies such parties for any environmental liability that arises out of or relates to its use of the real estate leased premises. The Company believes that it is insured (subject to deductibles) for most tort liabilities and related indemnities described above with respect to the aircraft and real estate that it leases. The Company cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments, if any, under the foregoing indemnities and agreements.
	Credit Card Holdback
	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 $5.0 million at March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013.
	In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could also cause a covenant violation under other debt or lease obligations and have a material adverse impact on the Company.

	11. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
	The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented in accordance with Regulation S-X paragraph 210.3-10 because, in connection with the issuance by two pass-through trusts formed by Hawaiian (which is also referred to in this Note 11 as Subsidiary Issuer / Guarantor) of pass-through certificates, as discussed in Note 10, the Company (which is also referred to in this Note 11 as Parent Issuer / Guarantor), is fully and unconditionally guaranteeing the payment obligations of Hawaiian, which is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, under equipment notes issued by Hawaiian to purchase new aircraft, and will fully and unconditionally guarantee those obligations in connection with the future issuance of equipment notes by Hawaiian.
	Also, in accordance with Regulation S-X paragraph 210.5-04 (c), the Company is required to report condensed financial information as a result of limitations on the ability of Hawaiian to pay dividends or advances to the Company included in Hawaiian’s debt agreements.  The Company’s condensed consolidating financial information satisfies this requirement.

Certain Restrictions on Subsidiary Distributions, Dividends and Repurchases
The Company and Hawaiian are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement), dated as of December 10, 2010, that provides for a Revolving Credit Facility. See further discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility at Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, neither Hawaiian nor any other subsidiary of the Company will make any distribution or other payment on account of, or declare or pay any dividend on, or purchase, acquire, redeem or retire any stock issued by Hawaiian or any other subsidiary of the Company. The exceptions include (i) distributions by Hawaiian to the Company for the purpose of allowing the Company to pay federal and state income and franchise taxes, (ii) distributions by Hawaiian to the Company to pay customary costs and expenses of operating a publicly-traded company in an aggregate amount in any year not to exceed $10.0 million, and (iii) so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, distributions by Hawaiian to the Company for the purpose of making regularly scheduled interest payments on specified indebtedness of the Company. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts the ability of Hawaiian and the other subsidiaries of the Company from making loans or advances to the Company. The net assets of Hawaiian restricted under the Credit Agreement, defined as shareholders’ equity, totaled $306.3 million and $313.3 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
