Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | |
Basis of Presentation | |
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegiant Travel Company (the “Company”) and its majority-owned operating subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates in which the Company’s ownership interest ranges from 20 to 50 percent and in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |
These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. | |
Use of estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |
The interim results reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full year. | |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance related to reporting discontinued operations. This new standard raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and at that time, can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements. |

In June 2014, the Company entered into separate agreements to acquire the ownership interests in 12 special purpose companies each owning one Airbus A320 series aircraft currently on lease to a European carrier until 2018. The purchase price for the special purpose companies was approximately $236.1 million, of which approximately $142.0 million was by assumption of debt secured by the aircraft with the remaining balance funded by cash. Refer to Note 4 - Long Term Debt for details on the assumed notes payable. | ||||||||||||||
The Company performed a fair value assessment of the assumed debt and the in-place leases and determined both to be at fair value. Upon expiration of the current leases in 2018, the Company intends to bring these aircraft into its operating fleet. Currently, the Company recognizes lease revenue and incurs minimal administrative costs to maintain the leases during the term these Airbus A320 series aircraft are under lease. Lease revenue and administrative costs related to this transaction are reflected in the Company's results of operations. Additionally, interest expense and depreciation expense related to the assumed notes payable and asset ownership of the acquired Airbus A320 series aircraft since their acquisition in June 2014 are reflected in the Company’s results of operations. | ||||||||||||||

Senior Secured Term Loan Facility | ||||||||
In April 2014, the Company prepaid the remaining $121.1 million balance of its senior secured term loan facility (the "Term Loan") using available cash and proceeds from a $45.3 million loan closed simultaneously, collateralized by 53 MD-80 aircraft. The original maturity date of the Term Loan was March 2017 and it bore interest based on the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") or prime rate with a LIBOR floor of 1.5 percent. | ||||||||
General Unsecured Senior Notes | ||||||||
In June 2014, the Company completed an offering of $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured obligations (the "Notes") which will mature in July 2019. The Notes constitute general unsecured senior obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness and liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company. The Notes are effectively junior to the Company’s existing and future secured indebtedness. The Notes are guaranteed by all of the Company’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries and rank equally in right of payment with all existing and future unsecured indebtedness and liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s guarantor subsidiaries, but effectively junior to the guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness. | ||||||||
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.50 percent per year, payable in cash semi-annually, on January 15 and July 15 of each year, commencing on January 15, 2015, and will mature on July 15, 2019. | ||||||||
At any time, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, plus a “make-whole premium”. The occurrence of specific kinds of changes in control will be a triggering event requiring the Company to offer to purchase from the holders all or a portion of the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase. | ||||||||
The indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued includes operating and financial restrictions on the Company. These restrictions limit or restrict, among other things, the Company’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to (i) incur additional indebtedness; (ii) incur liens; (iii) make restricted payments (including paying dividends on, redeeming, repurchasing or retiring capital stock); (iv) make investments; and (v) consolidate, merge or sell all or substantially all of its assets. These covenants are subject to various exceptions and qualifications under the terms of the indenture. | ||||||||

Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||||||
The Company measures certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis. 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. Accounting standards pertaining to fair value measurements establish a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: | |||||||||||||||||
Level 1 - Defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities | |||||||||||||||||
Level 2 - Defined as inputs other than Level 1 inputs that are either directly or indirectly observable | |||||||||||||||||
Level 3 - Defined as unobservable inputs for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. | |||||||||||||||||
The Company uses the market approach valuation technique to determine fair value for investment securities. The assets classified as Level 1 consist of money market funds for which original cost approximates fair value. The assets classified as Level 2 consist of certificates of deposit, commercial paper, municipal debt securities, government debt securities, and corporate debt securities, which are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources including transactions involving identical or comparable assets and models utilizing market observable inputs. | |||||||||||||||||
For those assets classified as Level 2 that are not in active markets, the Company obtained fair value from pricing sources using quoted market prices for identical or comparable instruments and based on pricing models which include all significant observable inputs, including maturity dates, issue dates, settlement date, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker-dealer quotes, issue spreads, benchmark securities, bids, offers and other market related data. These inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset. | |||||||||||||||||
Derivative Financial Instruments | |||||||||||||||||
The fair value of the Company's derivative instrument is determined using standard valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets or can be derived from observable market transactions and therefore have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these standard valuation models for derivative instruments include the applicable exchange and interest rates. | |||||||||||||||||
Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows: | |||||||||||||||||

The fair value of the Company’s publicly held long-term debt is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets; therefore, the Company has categorized its publicly held debt as Level 2. The remaining six of the Company’s debt agreements are not publicly held. The Company has determined the estimated fair value of this debt to be Level 3, as certain inputs used to determine the fair value of these agreements are unobservable.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure | ' | |||||||||
Derivative Instruments | ||||||||||
The Company is directly and indirectly affected by changes in certain market conditions. These changes in market conditions may adversely impact the Company's financial performance and are referred to as "market risks." When deemed appropriate, the Company will use derivatives as a risk management tool to mitigate the potential impact of certain market risks. The market risk managed by the Company through the use of a derivative instrument is foreign currency exchange rate risk. The Company is currently using a foreign currency swap which is a contract between two parties to exchange cash flows based on specified underlying notional amounts, assets and/or indices. The Company does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. | ||||||||||
The accounting for gains and losses that result from changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative has been designated and qualify as a hedging instrument and the type of hedging relationship. The changes in the fair values of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI. Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the underlying exposures being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments are generally offset by changes in the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. | ||||||||||
For derivatives that will be accounted for as hedging instruments, the Company formally designates and documents, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In addition, the Company formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair values or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any change in fair market value of any ineffective portion of a financial instrument is immediately recognized into earnings. | ||||||||||
The Company determines the fair value of its derivative based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. Refer to Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements. The amounts exchanged are calculated by reference to the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates or other financial indices. The Company does not view the fair value of its derivative in isolation, but rather in relation to the fair value or cash flows of the underlying hedged transaction or other exposures. The Company's derivative is a straightforward over-the-counter instrument with liquid markets. | ||||||||||

(1) The Company's derivative instrument is carried at fair value in our consolidated balance sheet after considering the impact of legally enforceable master netting agreements and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties, as applicable. Current disclosure requirements mandate that derivatives must also be disclosed without reflecting the impact of master netting agreements and cash collateral. Refer to Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements for the net presentation of the Company's derivative instruments. | ||||||||||
(2) Refer to Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements for additional information related to the estimated fair value. | ||||||||||
Cash Flow Hedging Strategy | ||||||||||
The Company has entered into a foreign currency swap in order to mitigate the foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the forecasted lease revenue from 12 Airbus A320 series aircraft leased to a European based company. The Company uses a cash flow hedge to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The change in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge is recorded in AOCI. | ||||||||||
The Company maintains a foreign currency cash flow hedge to reduce the risk that its eventual U.S. dollar net cash inflows from leased aircraft outside the United States will be adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company entered into a forward swap to hedge certain portions of forecasted cash flows denominated in euros. When the U.S. dollar strengthens against the foreign currency, the decline in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is partially offset by gains in the fair value of the derivative instrument. Conversely, when the U.S. dollar weakens, the increase in the present value of future foreign currency cash flows is partially offset by losses in the fair value of the derivative instrument. | ||||||||||
The total notional value of the Company's derivative instrument that was designated and qualified for the Company's foreign currency cash flow hedge was $21.3 million as of June 30, 2014. | ||||||||||
The following table presents the pretax impact that changes in the fair values of the derivative instrument designated as a cash flow hedge had on AOCI during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 (in thousands): | ||||||||||

Earnings per Share | ||||||||||||||||
Basic and diluted earnings per share are computed pursuant to the two-class method. Under this method, the Company attributes net income to two classes, common stock and unvested restricted stock awards. Unvested restricted stock awards granted to employees under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable rights to cash dividends at the same rate as common stock. | ||||||||||||||||
Diluted net income per share is calculated using the more dilutive of two methods. Under both methods, the exercise of employee stock options and stock-settled stock appreciation rights are assumed using the treasury stock method. The assumption of vesting of restricted stock, however, differs: | ||||||||||||||||
1 | Assume vesting of restricted stock using the treasury stock method. | |||||||||||||||
2 | Assume unvested restricted stock awards are not vested, and allocate earnings to common shares and unvested restricted stock awards using the two-class method. | |||||||||||||||
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and June 30, 2013, the second method which assumes unvested awards are not vested, was used in the computation because it was more dilutive than the first method. The following table sets forth the computation of net income per share, on a basic and diluted basis for the periods indicated (shares in table below are in thousands): | ||||||||||||||||

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Allegiant Travel Company (the “Company”) and its majority-owned operating subsidiaries. Investments in affiliates in which the Company’s ownership interest ranges from 20 to 50 percent and in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are accounted for under the equity method. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. | |
These unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which management believes are necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of the Company for the respective periods presented. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for Form 10-Q. These unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company and notes thereto included in the annual report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. | |
Use of Estimates | ' |
Use of estimates | |
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. | |
The interim results reflected in the unaudited consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or for the full year. | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | ' |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | |
In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued new guidance related to reporting discontinued operations. This new standard raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is evaluating the impact, if any, of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements. | |
In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. The new revenue recognition standard provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2017 and at that time, can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements. |

Fair Value, Liabilities Measured on Recurring Basis | ' | ||||||||||||||||
The carrying amounts and estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt (including current maturities), as well as the applicable fair value hierarchy tier, at June 30, 2014, are presented in the table below. The fair value of the Company’s publicly held long-term debt is determined based on inputs that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets; therefore, the Company has categorized its publicly held debt as Level 2. The remaining six of the Company’s debt agreements are not publicly held. The Company has determined the estimated fair value of this debt to be Level 3, as certain inputs used to determine the fair value of these agreements are unobservable. The Company utilizes indicative pricing from counterparties and a discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of the Level 3 items. | |||||||||||||||||
