Built to Be Different: Highly Profitable Other airlines Allegiant vs. Business - air Unprofitable / Marginally profitable Leisure - vacations Highly profitable “NFL” cities Small cities Flights per day Complex product No pricing power Flights per week Simple product Pricing power High cost assets Low cost assets |
Nationwide Footprint Published July 31, 2010 schedule: 143 routes, ~50 operating aircraft 57 small cities 13 leisure destinations 8 bases |
Limited Competition Head-to-head competition on only ten of 143 routes Other airlines appear to see us as an annoyance, not a threat |
Highly Efficient Cost Structure Structural cost advantages Low aircraft acquisition costs Simple product Cost-based scheduling – aircraft bases Out and back No crew overnights Labor efficiencies – 34 FTEs per aircraft Closed distribution – proprietary reservation system Small cities Lower airport costs Lower marketing costs |
Excellent Cost Discipline Best costs – LTM 1Q10 Cost / pax vs. stage length (1, 2) Source: Financial reports of the companies Vertical axis= cost per pax, horizontal axis = aircraft stage length in miles Operating costs / total passengers Ex-Fuel Cost / pax vs. stage length (1, 2) |
Sources of Revenue Scheduled air “Base” airfare (pax and price) Ancillary Air-related 3rd Party Fixed fee No fuel risk 7.6% of business Consistently profitable Diversified revenue streams LTM 1Q10 Total Operating Revenue |
Pricing Lock down one variable Scheduled load factor ~90% for 7 quarters High load factor enables Ancillary revenue Lower cost per pax Manage capacity to solve for base airfare We manage for a 90% load factor Load factors Allegiant 2009 |
We micro-manage capacity Aggressive Capacity Management 2008 2007 2009 July 2008 High Fuel Price (1) Published schedules through September 2010 2010E Avg. daily scheduled flights by month(1) |
Substantial frequency variation even within a month Highly Selective When We Fly Daily scheduled flights |
Fuel Hedging We were able to make money during the highest fuel prices We are not fuel derivative traders Can only hedge cost not revenue Speculation At any given fuel price we can make money by reducing capacity One key strength is the ability to quickly adjust due to low fixed costs – superior way to manage fuel risk No liquidity o r balance sheet risk |
Ancillary Revenue Highly predictable and inelastic Substantial revenue and profits Air-related, $29/scheduled passenger(1) Third party, $4/scheduled passenger(1) Checked bag Convenience fee Assigned seat Priority boarding TripFlex Booking fee On-board sales “Expedia with wings” No inventory risk Wholesale price - we manage margi ns 3.4% LTM total revenue 17.7% LTM pre-tax income Hotels, car rentals, shows, theme park tickets, etc. (1) LTM as of March 31, 2010 |

Hawaii Largest major US leisure market untapped by ALGT Significant ancillary opportunities longer visits, higher ADRs, longer stage lengths, high attachment for hotels, cars, other attractions No service on planned routes Good time to enter the market Airline capacity down substantially and hotels need lots of help Acquiring six 757 airc raft Can reach Rocky Mountains 215 seats Acquisition cost enables same flexible capacity approach as MD-80 Extension of successful strategy |
