Due to seasonal fluctuations,variations in the demand for air travel, 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. Furthermore, the severe impacts of the global coronavirus (COVID 19) pandemic make any comparison to prior or future periods unreliable. 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, 2016.2019.

The Company reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform with the current period presentation.

2. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Due to the spread of COVID-19, what began with the Company's suspension of service to South Korea and Japan in late February, accelerated in March, when governments in Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, American Samoa, and Hawai`i instituted requirements of self-isolation or quarantine for incoming travel, as well as travel within the State of Hawai`i. As a result of these actions, global travel demand declined precipitously to historically low levels, with the Company's capacity reduced by more than 95% in the last week in March. See Note 6, for a discussion of the recognition of passenger revenue, the Company's air traffic liability and ticket breakage.

In response, the Company has taken, or intends to take, numerous actions to mitigate the impact of declining demand on its business including, but not limited to:

Drawing down fully from the Company's previously undrawn $235.0 million revolving credit facility on March 16, 2020 (refer to Note 9 for additional discussion),
Suspension of dividend payments on, and the repurchase of, the common stock of the Company,
Applying for, and on April 22, 2020, receiving the first tranche of funding of $146.2 million under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) Payroll Support Program (PSP), as discussed in further detail below, and the Company is eligible for an additional $364 million in loans through the CARES Act Economic Relief Program (ERP),
Pursuing additional financing secured by the Company's unencumbered assets, including 36 aircraft with an estimated fair value of approximately $800.0 million,
Instituting a hiring freeze across the Company, except for operationally critical and essential positions,
Deferring non-essential, non-aircraft capital expenditures,
Instituting voluntary unpaid leave and float day purchase programs offered to each work group, and
Reducing discretionary contractor, vendor and other spending.

Additionally, all of the Company’s officers have reduced their base salaries by between 10% and 50% through at least September 30, 2020. Members of the Board of Directors have also temporarily reduced their compensation. The Company anticipates it may implement further discretionary changes and other cost reduction and liquidity preservation measures as needed to address the volatile and quickly-changing dynamics of passenger demand and changes in revenue, regulatory and public health directives and prevailing government policy and financial market conditions.

Based on these actions, including recovery assumptions made for the impact of COVID-19, the Company has concluded that it will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy its obligations and remain in compliance with existing covenants for the next twelve months, prior to giving effect to any additional financing that may occur. The Company continues to evaluate


future financing opportunities by leveraging its unencumbered assets, which as of March 31, 2020, have a fair value of approximately $800 million, and utilizing additional funding from the CARES Act, as discussed below.

The Company's assumptions about future conditions used to estimate liquidity requirements, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and other ongoing impacts to the business, are subject to uncertainty, and actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company will continue to monitor these conditions as new information becomes available, and will update its analyses accordingly.

Valuation of Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangibles

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. The Company applies a fair value-based impairment test to the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on an interim basis. The Company assesses the value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived assets under either a qualitative or quantitative approach.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the adverse economic impact and declining passenger demand attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic drove down the Company's stock price to 52-week lows and significantly reduced cash flow projections. Therefore, the Company qualitatively assessed that an impairment loss may have been incurred as of March 31, 2020. The Company therefore performed an interim test of the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company determined that the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded the carrying value and was not impaired. As it relates to goodwill, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of the Company's one reporting unit was less than its carrying value. The deficit between the fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the amount of goodwill on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet, and therefore, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Fair value is determined using a combination of an income approach, which estimates fair value based upon projections of future revenues, expenses, and cash flows discounted to its present value, and a market approach. The valuation methodology and underlying financial information included in the Company's determination of fair value required significant judgments by management. The principal assumptions used in the Company's discounted cash flow analysis consisted of (a) the long-term projections of future financial performance and (b) the weighted-average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for the risk attributable to the Company and the industry in which it operates.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company's long-lived assets, consisting principally of aircraft and non-aircraft equipment, are classified as property and equipment, net on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet, and have a recorded value of approximately $2.3 billion at March 31, 2020. The Company reviews long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired.

As part of the Company's response to COVID-19, discussed above, including substantial capacity reductions and the temporary grounding of the majority of its fleet, as well as reduced cash flow projections, the Company identified indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets. 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. Based on the Company's evaluation, it was determined that the net carrying values of the assets are recoverable through the generation of undiscounted future cash flows and that its long-lived assets are not impaired as of March 31, 2020. The Company will continue to monitor the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19 on its business, and will continue to evaluate its current fleet for impairment accordingly.

CARES Act

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, which provides an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the U.S. economy. The assistance includes tax relief and government loans, grants and investments for entities in affected industries. The CARES Act provides for, among other things: (a) financial relief to passenger air carriers for direct payroll support under the PSP, (b) financial relief in the form of loans and loan guarantees available for operations under the ERP, (c) temporary suspension of certain aviation taxes, (d) temporary deferral of certain employer payroll taxes, and (e) additional corporate tax benefits that are further discussed in Note 13.



Payroll Support Program

On April 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Payroll Support Program Agreement (the PSP Agreement) with the U.S. Department of the Treasury (Treasury) under the CARES Act. In connection with the PSP Agreement, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement (the Warrant Agreement) with the Treasury, and the Company issued a promissory note to the Treasury (the Note). Pursuant to the PSP Agreement, the Treasury will provide the Company with financial assistance to be released in installments expected to total approximately $292.5 million, to be used exclusively for the purpose of continuing to pay employee salaries, wages and benefits. Under the PSP Agreement, the Company agreed to (i) refrain from conducting involuntary furloughs or reducing employee rates of pay or benefits through September 30, 2020, (ii) limit executive compensation through March 24, 2022 and (iii) suspend payment of dividends and stock repurchases through September 30, 2021. The PSP Agreement also imposes certain Treasury mandated reporting obligations on the Company. Finally, the Company is required to continue to provide air service to markets served prior to March 1, 2020 until March 1, 2022, to the extent determined reasonable and practicable by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT); subject to exemptions granted by the DOT to the Company given the absence of demand for such services.

The Note issued by Hawaiian to the Treasury will increase to a total principal sum of approximately $57.8 million as Hawaiian receives installments from the Treasury under the PSP Agreement. The Note has a ten year term and bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.00% until the fifth anniversary of the PSP Closing Date, and thereafter bears interest at a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate plus 2.00% until the tenth anniversary of the PSP Closing Date, which interest is payable semi-annually beginning on September 30, 2020. The Note may be prepaid at any time, without penalty and is subject to customary change of control provisions and events of default.

As compensation to the U.S. government for providing financial relief under the PSP Agreement, and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, the Company agreed to issue to the Treasury a total of 488,477 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.82 per share (the Warrants). The Warrants are non-voting, freely transferable, may be settled as net shares or in cash at the Company’s option, expire five years from the date of issuance, and contain registration rights and customary anti-dilution provisions.

Economic Relief Program

Under the ERP, the Company is eligible to receive an approximately $364.0 million secured loan. Conditions of the loan are consistent with the PSP; however, certain restrictions, including prohibition of share repurchases and dividend payments extend for 12 months after the loan is no longer outstanding. On April 17, 2020, the Company filed an application with the Treasury for access to these funds. The Company is currently evaluating its desired level of participation in the ERP.

3. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements


In March 2017,June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2017-07, Improving2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (ASU 2016-13), which requires the Presentationuse of Net Periodic Pension Costan "expected loss" model on financial instruments and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, requiring an employerother commitments to reportextend credit held by a reporting entity at each reporting date. ASU 2016-13 replaces the service cost component inincurred loss methodology with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to calculate credit loss estimates over 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 cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal 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.

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 balanceslifetime 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.asset. The Company adopted this standard during the first quarter of 2017.ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020. 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 doesdid 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.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (ASU 2017-04), which simplifies the measurement of goodwill as Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test was eliminated. ASU 2017-04 replaces the implied fair value of goodwill method with a methodology that compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The overall expected decrease in equity as ofCompany adopted ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2016 is expected2020. Refer 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 accountingNote 2 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 componentdiscussion of the passenger revenue ticket transaction atgoodwill impairment recognized during 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.three months ended March 31, 2020.


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.

4.5. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings 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. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, anti-dilutiveMarch 31, 2020, there were 141,665 potentially dilutive shares that were excluded from the calculationcomputation of diluted weighted average common stock shares outstanding because their effect would have been antidilutive given the Company's net loss. The following table shows the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were nil.share:

6. Revenue Recognition
The Company’s contracts with customers have two principal performance obligations, which are the promise to provide transportation to the passenger and the frequent flyer miles earned on the flight. In addition, the Company typically charges additional fees for items such as baggage. Such items are not classifiedcapable of being distinct from the transportation provided because the customer can only benefit from the services during the flight. The transportation performance obligation, including the redemption of HawaiianMiles awards for flights is satisfied, and revenue is recognized, as cash equivalentstransportation is provided. In some instances, tickets sold by the Company can include a flight segment on another carrier which is referred to as an interline segment. In this situation, the Company acts as an agent for the other carrier and revenue is recognized net of cost in other revenue. Tickets sold by other airlines where the Company provides the transportation are classifiedrecognized as available-for-sale investmentspassenger revenue at the estimated value to be billed to the other airline when travel is provided. Differences between amounts billed and the actual amounts may be rejected and rebilled or written off if the amount recorded was different from the original estimate.
The majority of the Company's revenue is derived from transporting passengers on its aircraft. The Company's primary operations are stated at fair value.  Realized gainsthat of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaiian. Principally all operations of Hawaiian either originate and/or end in the 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 its various markets. As Hawaiian is engaged in only 1 significant line of business (i.e., air transportation), management has concluded that it has only 1 segment. The Company's operating revenues by geographic region (as defined by the DOT) are summarized below:

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 are mobile across geographic markets, and losses on salestherefore, have not been allocated to specific geographic regions. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, North America routes accounted for approximately 54% and 52% of investmentsdomestic revenue, respectively.
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 reflectedrecognized when the service is provided.

As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company's Air traffic liability balance, as it relates to passenger tickets (excluding frequent flyer), was $429.2 million and $425.1 million, respectively, which generally represents revenue that is expected to be realized over the next 12 months. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, the amount of passenger ticket revenue recognized that was included in nonoperating income (expense)Air traffic liability as of the beginning of the respective period was $240.2 million and $296.9 million.
Passenger revenue associated with unused tickets, which represent unexercised passenger rights, is recognized in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by related passengers (e.g., scheduled departure dates). To calculate the portion to be recognized


as revenue in the period, the Company utilizes historical information and applies the trend rate to the current Air traffic liability balances for that specific period.

6.7.  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.

7.8.  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 and foreign currencies.
 


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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, the Company primarily usedCompany's portfolio comprised of crude oil call options, and jet fuel swaps to hedge its aircraft fuel expense.  These derivative instrumentswhich 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 Company's unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 $(3,601) $(10,228) $15,421


Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Management
 
The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk due to revenues and expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies, with the primary exposures being to the Japanese Yen and the 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 to further manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates. The effective portion of the gain or loss of designated cash flow hedges is reported as a component 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 income (expense). Foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value, and therefore any changes in fair value are recognized as other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company de-designated certain hedged transactions with maturity dates ranging between March and June 2020 as the Company concluded that the cash flows attributable to the hedged risk were no longer probable of occurring. As a result, the Company reclassified approximately $2.8 million from AOCI to nonoperating expense in the period. Future gains and losses related to these instruments will continue to be recorded in nonoperating expense.
 
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$3.4 million into earnings over the next 12 months from AOCI based on the values of its foreign currency forward contracts at September 30, 2017.

Risk and Collateral
 
Financial derivative instruments expose the Company to possible credit loss in the event the counterparties 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) regularly monitorsassesses 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 by the counterparties based on the current market exposure of the derivative.




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 no0 collateral posted with counterparties as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2016.2019.


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.

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 such contracts. 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 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 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 $1.0 million at September 30, 2017As of March 31, 2020 and $5.0 million at December 31, 2016.2019, there were 0 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 airtickets 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.

13. Supplemental Cash Flow InformationIncome Taxes

Non-cash investingThe Company's effective tax rate was 17.6% and financing activities25.7% for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 20162019, respectively. The effective tax rate represents a blend of federal and state taxes and includes the impact of certain nondeductible items.

On March 27, 2020, the CARES Act was enacted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as discussed in Note 2. The CARES Act, among other things, allows for net operating losses (NOLs) incurred in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be carried back to each of the five preceding taxable years to generate a refund of previously paid income taxes and eliminates the 80 percent limitation on carried back NOLs.

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2020 includes the impact of the nondeductible goodwill impairment and reflects a tax benefit resulting from the rate differential from NOLs generated in recent periods, which were carried back to prior years. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and estimates the Company has made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions the Company may take as follows:a result of the CARES Act. The Company will continue to monitor the updates on guidance issued with respect to the CARES Act.

OutlookImpact of COVID-19


Due to the spread of COVID-19, what began with the Company's suspension of service to South Korea and Japan in late February, accelerated in March, when governments in Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, American Samoa, and Hawai`i instituted requirements of self-isolation or quarantine for incoming travel, as well as travel within the State of Hawai`i. As a result of these actions, global travel demand declined precipitously to historically low levels, with our capacity reduced by more than 95% in the last week in March 2020. While a minimal level of air travel continues to operate during the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact on air travel and the broader economy continues and whether we will be able to recover to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels is unknown.

In addition, we have taken, or intend to take, various actions to mitigate the impact of declining demand on our business. including, but not limited to:

Drawing down fully from our previously undrawn $235.0 million revolving credit facility in March 2020 (refer to Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion,
Suspension of dividend payments on, and the repurchase of, our common stock,
Applying for, and on April 22, 2020, receiving the first tranche of funding of $146.2 million under the CARES Act PSP, as discussed in further detail below, and we are eligible for an additional $364 million in loans through the CARES Act ERP,
Pursuing additional financing secured by our unencumbered assets, including 36 aircraft with an estimated fair value of approximately $800 million,
Instituting a hiring freeze across the company, except for operationally critical and essential positions,
Deferring non-essential, non-aircraft capital expenditures,
Instituting voluntary unpaid leave and float day purchase programs offered to each work group, and
Reducing discretionary contractor, vendor, and other spending.

Additionally, all of our officers have temporarily reduced their base salaries by between 10% and 50% through at least September 30, 2020. Members of the Board of Directors have also temporarily reduced their compensation. We anticipate that we may implement further discretionary changes and other cost reduction and liquidity preservation measures as needed to


address the volatile and quickly-changing dynamics of passenger demand and changes in revenue, regulatory and public health directives and prevailing government policy and financial market conditions.

Based on these actions, including recovery assumptions made regarding the impact of COVID-19, we have concluded that we will be able to generate sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in compliance with existing covenants for the next twelve months, prior to giving effect to any additional financing that may occur. We continue to evaluate future financing opportunities by leveraging our unencumbered assets, which, as of March 31, 2020, have a fair value of approximately $800 million, and utilizing additional funding from the CARES Act, as discussed below.

We cannot assure you that our assumptions used to estimate liquidity requirements will be correct because we have never previously experienced such an unprecedented decline in global travel and passenger operations, and as a consequence, our ability to be predictive is uncertain. In addition, the magnitude, duration and speed of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain. As a consequence, we cannot estimate the impact on our business, financial condition or near- or longer-term financial or operational results with reasonable certainty, but we expect our revenue performance to remain consistent ina net loss on both a GAAP and adjusted basis for the fourth quarter of 2017 compared to the priorfiscal year period. We expect available seat miles during the quarter ending December 31, 20172020. We will continue to increasemonitor these conditions as new information becomes available.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, which provides an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the U.S. economy. The assistance includes tax relief and government loans, grants and investments for entities in affected industries. The CARES Act provides for, among other things; (a) financial relief to passenger air carriers for direct payroll support under the PSP, (b) financial relief in the form of loans and loan guarantees available for operations under the ERP, (c) temporary suspension of certain aviation taxes, (d) temporary deferral of certain employer payroll taxes, and (e) additional Corporate tax benefits that are further discussed in Note 13 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Payroll Support Program

On April 22, 2020, Hawaiian entered into the PSP Agreement with the Treasury with respect to the PSP under the CARES Act. In connection with the PSP Agreement, on the PSP Closing Date, we entered into the Warrant Agreement with the Treasury and Hawaiian issued the Note to the Treasury. Pursuant to the PSP Agreement, the Treasury will provide Hawaiian with financial assistance to be paid in installments expected to total approximately $292.5 million, to be used exclusively for the purpose of continuing to pay employee salaries, wages and benefits. Under the PSP Agreement, Hawaiian agreed to (i) refrain from conducting involuntary furloughs or reducing employee rates of pay or benefits through September 30, 2020, (ii) limit executive compensation through March 24, 2022 and (iii) suspend payment of dividends and stock repurchases through September 30, 2021. The PSP Agreement also imposes certain Treasury mandated reporting obligations on Hawaiian and us. Finally, Hawaiian is required to continue to provide air service to markets served prior to March 1, 2020 until March 1, 2022, to the extent determined reasonable and practicable by 4.0% to 6.0%the DOT; however, we applied for and received an exemption from the priorDOT from certain of the service requirements due to impacts of COVID-19.

The Note issued by Hawaiian to the Treasury will increase to a total principal sum of approximately $57.8 million as Hawaiian receives installments from the Treasury under the PSP Agreement. The Note has a ten year period, whileterm and bears interest at a rate per annum equal to 1.00% until the fifth anniversary of the PSP Closing Date, and thereafter bears interest at a rate equal to the secured overnight financing rate plus 2.00% until the tenth anniversary of the PSP Closing Date, which interest is payable semi-annually beginning on September 30, 2020. The Note may be prepaid at any time, without penalty and is subject to customary change of control provisions and events of default.

As compensation to the U.S. government for providing financial relief under the PSP Agreement, and pursuant to the Warrant Agreement, we agreed to issue to the Treasury a total of 488,477 Warrants at an exercise price of $11.82 per share. The Warrants are non-voting, freely transferable, may be settled as net shares or in cash at our option, expire five years from the date of issuance, and contain registration rights and customary anti-dilution provisions.

Economic Relief Program

Under the ERP, we are eligible for approximately $364.0 million in a secured loan. Conditions of the loan are generally consistent with the PSP; however, certain restrictions, including prohibition of share repurchases and dividend payments extend for 12 months after the loan is no longer outstanding. On April 17, 2020, we filed an application with the Treasury for access to these funds; however, we are currently evaluating our level of participation.

Additionally, the CARES Act also provides for deferred payment of the employer portion of social security taxes through the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022. Lastly,


the CARES Act provides for the carryback of additional net operating losses to 2016 and 2017, which we expect operating revenue per available seat mile to range from down 1.0% to up 2.0% from the prior year period.  We expect operating cost per available seat mile, during the quarter ending December 31, 2017 to decrease by 10.3% to 13.5% from the prior year period, due towill result in an expected decrease in special charges for the quarter ending December 31, 2017, compared to the prior year period.annual tax benefit.

Domestic passenger revenue fell 17.7% to $366.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. RPMs decreased 8.9% while yields fell 9.6%. The decreases were primarily driven by competitive pressures in our domestic market followed by declining demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In late March, following the announcement of a mandatory 14-day quarantine for all non-essential travelers arriving in, or traveling within the State by the governor of the State of Hawai`i, we commenced a significant reduction in our Domestic capacity, the effects of which will be reflected in our second quarter ASM. As of March 31, 2020, we operated a total of 18 daily domestic flights, including daily service between Honolulu, Hawai`i and Los Angeles, California and San Francisco, California, and sixteen daily interisland flights within the State of Hawai`i. This is



in comparison to 218 daily domestic flights, on average, in operation during March 2019, representing a decline of approximately 93%.

International passenger revenue fell 12.1% to $137.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. RPMs decreased 12.5% on a capacity decrease of 6.4%, while yields remained flat. The decrease was primarily driven by declining demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Beginning in early March, and with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in China and South Korea, we reduced capacity on certain of its international routes. Throughout the month as various governments instituted mandatory quarantines and/or travel restrictions, including the State of Hawai`i, we temporarily suspended all international service. This is in comparison to 15 international flights on average operated daily in March 2019.

Other Operating Revenue

For the three and nine months period ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2020, Other operating revenue on our domestic routes increased by $11.1was flat, up $0.2 million, or 2.5%0.4%, and $63.8 million, or 5.1%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The increase was due to improved yields within our North America routes of approximately 4.3% and 6.9% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively as compared to the prior year periods.

International

For the three and nine months period, ended September 30, 2017, revenue on our international routes increased by $31.8 million, or 23.1%, and $109.4 million, or 32.2%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The increase was due to improved yields within our international routes of approximately 7.8% and 7.2% for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2017, respectively as compared to the prior year periods. Another contributing factor for the increased revenue (period over period) was our expanded Hawai'i to Tokyo, Japan service. This included the introduction of service from Honolulu to Narita, Japan (July 2016), Kona to Tokyo Haneda Airport (December 2016), and expansion of existing Honolulu to Haneda service (December 2016).

Other operating revenue

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, other operating revenue increased by $4.7 million or 5.9%, and $18.3 million, or 8.1%, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods. The increase was primarily due to an increase in cargo revenue during the respective periods of approximately 26.4% and 27.7% offset by a reduction in baggageloyalty program revenue of approximately 3.7% and 3.2% for$2.3 million due to increased cardholder spend on the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.

The new revenue standard ASC 606, once effective, will affect our accounting policies and processes (including systems) regarding frequent flyer revenue, passenger revenue, otherco-branded credit card. Other components in Other operating revenue include, but are not limited to, cargo, ground handling and selling costs.  The adoptionother freight services, which collectively, declined in the period by approximately $2.0 million driven by the impact of the standard will have a significant impact on our financial statements. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.COVID-19.

Wages and benefits

Wages and benefits expense for the third quarter increased by $24.7 million or 18.1%, and $71.1 million or 18.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively.period. The increase was primarily duea result of higher salary expense, driven by annual rate increases for certain of our collective bargaining groups, including $3.3 million attributed to the recent signingratification of the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) contract amendment effective April 1, 2017CBA with the AFA. The estimated impact of the amended CBA is unknown given the uncertainty associated with COVID-19 and its long-term impact on the Company. Additionally, and as well as an increasediscussed under the heading "Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic" in employee benefits (such as health insurance) expenses. We have also increased the section titled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," management instituted a number of flight crew personnel and trainingcost saving measures in response to prepare fordeclining demand from the inductionCOVID-19 pandemic, including voluntary leave programs. As of our A321neo fleet, resulting in higherApril 10, 2020, we have reduced 2020 wages and benefits expense, inby approximately $45 million through voluntary leave programs. In addition to an overall increasethe above, our officers and members of the Board of Directors have taken temporary reductions in employee headcount by approximately 6.8% as compared tocompensation ranging between 10% and 50% through at least September 30, 2016 which includes flight attendants, machinist, and non-contract employees.2020.

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:

On April 3, 2020, we received notification from the AFA that the CBA was ratified by its members. The agreement became effective April 1, 2017 and has a term of 63 months. The agreement includes,ratified CBA provides for, among other variousthings, a ratification payment to be paid over a one-year term, increased medical cost sharing, improved pay scales, and a one-time medical savings contribution to eligible flights attendants upon retirement. As of March 31, 2020, we accrued $23.5 million, of which $20.2 million was related to service prior to January 1, 2020, and recognized as a Special Item in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. The remaining $3.3 million was recorded as a component of wages and benefits a pay adjustment and ratification bonus computed based on previous service. in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the first two quartersquarter ended March 31, 2020, the adverse economic impact and declining demand attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, drove down our stock price to 52-week lows and reduced cash flow projections. Therefore, we qualitatively assessed that it was more likely than not that the goodwill was impaired as of 2017, we expensed $18.7 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-upMarch 31, 2020. We performed an interim test of the pilot vacation accrual atrecoverability of goodwill concluding that the revised rates set forth inestimated fair value of the agreement.

In April 2017,reporting unit no longer exceeded the carrying value of equity. The deficit between fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the amount of goodwill on the financial statements, and we executedtherefore recognized a sale leaseback transaction with an independent third-party for three Boeing 767-300 aircraft. The lease terms forgoodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million during the three aircraft commenced in April 2017 and continue through November 2018, December 2018, and January 2019, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we recorded a loss on sale of aircraft of $4.8 million.March 31, 2020.


Nonoperating Income (Expense)


Net nonoperating expense increased by $39.4$3.4 million, or 266.9% and $59.2 million, or 247.6%90.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as compared to the prior year periods. The increase was primarily due to a partial settlement and curtailment loss as well as a loss on plan termination, recorded in Other nonoperating special items in the period.

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 Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. Salaried & IAM Merged Pension Plan (the Merged Plan). At that time, the net liabilities of the Salaried Plan were transferred to the Merged Plan. In August 2017, we completed the termination of the Merged Plan by


transferring the assets and liabilities to a third-party insurance company. We 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 our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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. The cash contributed was distributed to the trust funding the individual health retirement notional accounts of the participants.

Also, during the three-months ended September 30, 2017, there was a fluctuation in gains/losses of fuel derivatives of $6.9 million and an increase in capitalized interest of $1.7 million.

During the nine-months ended September 30, 2017, net nonoperating expense increased by $59.2 million, or 247.6%,March 31, 2020 as compared to the prior year period. The increase in expense was primarily dueattributed to the nonoperating special itemsmovement of realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with our fuel derivative program. For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recorded a net loss of $6.5 million, as described above as well ascompared to a net gain of $0.6 million during the same period over period fluctuation in gains/losses of fuel derivatives of $25.6 million partially2019. This was offset by the recognition of $3.7 million in realized and unrealized gains on our foreign currency derivatives. In March 2020, we determined that certain positions maturing between March and June 2020 no longer met the criteria for hedge accounting designation under ASC 815. As a $10.0 million fluctuationresult, we reclassified the net unrealized gains in losses relatedAOCI to extinguishmentnonoperating expense in the unaudited Consolidated Statement of debt.Operations.

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 increasetotaled $814.6 million as of $8.7March 31, 2020, compared to $618.7 million fromas of December 31, 2016.2019. As a result of COVID-19, we have taken, and are continuing to take, certain actions to increase liquidity and augment our financial position, which include:


We have been able to generate sufficient fundsDrawing down fully from our operations to meet our working capital requirements and periodically finance our aircraft through secured debt and lease financings. At September 30, 2017, we had approximately $506.1previously undrawn $235.0 million of debt and capital lease obligations, including approximately $58.6 million classified as a current liability in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets. See the Contractual Obligations table below for a description of our estimated contractual obligations as of September 30, 2017.

We cannot assure you that the assumptions used to estimate our liquidity requirements will be correct because we have never previously experienced such an unprecedented event impacting global travel, and as a consequence, our ability to be predictive


is uncertain. In addition, the magnitude, duration and speed of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain. However, based on our assumptions and estimates with respect to the temporary suspension of nearly the entirety of our operations, and our financial condition, we believe that the liquidity described in December 2019. the preceding paragraphs will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements over at least the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2017, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.March 31, 2020, our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $46.5 million. However, approximately $623.7 million of our current liabilities relate to our advanced ticket sales and frequent flyer deferred revenue, both of which largely represent revenue to be recognized for future travel.


Cash Flows


Net cash provided by operating activities was $295.5$46.9 million and $434.9$150.7 million forduring the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 and 2016,2019, respectively. Operating cash flows are primarily derived from providing air transportation to customers. The decrease was primarilyvast majority of tickets are purchased in advance of when travel is provided, and in some cases, several months before the anticipated travel date. The operating cash flows during each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were impacted by changes in Air traffic liability and current frequent flyer deferred revenue, Accounts receivables and Other asset and liabilities, net, due to the decline in demand for air travel as a reduction in net income as well as cash expenditures duringresult of the period relating to the terminated Merged Plan and partial settlement of our pilots' other post-retirement medical plan (as discussed in Note 10).COVID-19 pandemic.

Covenants
We were in compliance with covenants in our financing agreements at March 31, 2020.

In order to complete the purchase of these aircraft and fund related costs, we may need to secure acceptableadditional financing. We have backstop financing available from aircraft and engine manufacturers, subject to certain customary conditions. We are also currently exploring various financing alternatives, and while we believe that such financing will be available to us, there can be no assurance that financing will be available when required, or on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to secure such 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,November 2018, our Board of Directors approved a modification to our stock repurchase program underpursuant to which we may repurchase up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock.stock over a two-year period through December 2020. The stock repurchase program is subject to further modification or termination at any time.

We spent $46.2$7.5 million and $50.5$11.1 million to repurchase and retire approximately 1.10.3 million shares and 1.20.4 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. In March 2020, we indefinitely suspended all repurchases under the approved repurchase plan in connection with our participation in relief under the CARES Act, which restricts us from repurchasing shares through September 30, 2017, respectively. As of September 30, 2017,2021.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we had $49.5 million remaining to spend under the stock repurchase program. See Part II, Item 2, “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securitiesdeclared and Use of Proceeds” of this report for additional information on the stock repurchase program.
In October 2017, we announced that our Board of Directors declared a quarterlypaid cash dividenddividends of $0.12 per share, payabletotaling $5.5 million, which was paid on November 30, 2017,February 28, 2020, to stockholders of record as of November 17, 2017.February 14, 2020. Our participation in relief under the CARES Act restricts us from making any dividend payments through at least September 30, 2021.


Credit Card 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, 2020 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

2019, there were no holdbacks held with our credit card processors. In the event of a material adverse change in our business, the holdbackscredit card processor could increase holdbacks to an amount up to 100% of the applicableoutstanding credit card airtickets 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.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented we did not have, nor do we currently have, any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined under the applicable rules of the SEC.

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 earnings press releases.




See table below for reconciliation between GAAP consolidated net income to adjusted consolidated net income, including per share amounts (in thousands unless otherwise indicated). The adjustments are described below:


During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the effective tax rate included a $14.2 million tax benefit resulting from the rate differential between the prevailing tax rate of 21% during the years that generated the net operating losses and the previous tax rate of 35% that was in effect during the years to which net operating losses were carried back as a result of the enactment of the CARES Act. This benefit is attributed to the enactment of the CARES Act and we believe that exclusion of this tax benefit provides investors comparability of results between periods.
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. We believe that excluding the impact of these derivative adjustments helps investors analyze our operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below.
Loss on extinguishmentChanges in fair value of debt,foreign currency derivative contracts, 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 contributionare based on market prices for certain pilot groups, and (2) a one-time true upopen contracts as 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 partend of the planned exit from our 767 fleet. In August 2017, we terminatedreporting period. This line item includes the Merged Planunrealized amounts of foreign currency derivatives (not designated as hedges) that will settle in future periods and settled a portionthe reversal 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.prior period unrealized amounts. We believe that excluding such special itemsthe impact of these derivative adjustments helps investors analyze our operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we recorded a gain on disposal for Boeing 767-300 aircraft equipment of $1.1 million, in conjunction with the retirement of our Boeing 767-300 fleet.
Unrealized loss (gain) on foreign debt is based on the fluctuation in exchanges rates and the measurement of foreign-denominated debt to our functional currency. We believe that excluding the impact of these amounts helps investors analyze our operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below.


Special Items
On April 3, 2020, we received notification from the AFA that the CBA was ratified by its members. The ratified CBA provided for, among other things, a ratification payment, payable over twelve months. As of March 31, 2020, we accrued $23.5 million. of which $20.2 million relates to service prior to January 1, 2020, and was recorded as a Special Item in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 12 in the Notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million, recorded as a Special Item. Refer to Note 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

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 during the three months ended March 31, 2020, except as discussed below. 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 each2019.

Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized. We apply a fair value-based impairment test to the carrying value of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets on an annual basis and, if certain events or circumstances indicate that an impairment loss may have been incurred, on an interim basis. We assess the value of our goodwill and indefinite-lived assets under either a qualitative or quantitative approach.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the adverse economic impact and declining demand attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic, drove down our stock price to 52-week lows. Given the disparity between our market capitalization and the carrying value of our shareholders' equity, we performed an interim test of the recoverability of our goodwill and determined that the estimated fair values of the reporting unit no longer exceeded their carrying value. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the carrying value of shareholders' equity exceeded the fair value of reporting unit, and we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million. We did not identify impairment associated with our indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Fair value is determined using a combination of an income approach, which estimates fair value based upon projections of future revenues, expenses, and cash flows discounted to their present value, and a market approach. The valuation methodology and underlying financial information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.determination of fair value required significant judgments to be made by management. The principal assumptions used in our discounted cash flow analysis, consisted of; (a) the long-term projections of future financial performance and (b) the weighted-average cost of capital of market participants, adjusted for the risk attributable to us and the industry in which we operate.


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.2019 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) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "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 CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2020 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 CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting


ThereDuring the three months ended March 31, 2020, 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.

We are not a party to any litigation that is expected to have a significant effect on our operations or business.
 
ITEM 1A.RISK FACTORS.
 
See Part I, Item 1A.,1A “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 20162019 for a detailed discussion of the risk factors affecting our business, results of operations and financial condition. The information presented below updates, and should be read in conjunction with, the risk factors and information disclosed in our Form 10-K and the risks identified elsewhere in this report. Except as presented below, there have been no material changes from the risk factors described in our Form 10-K.


The global COVID-19 pandemic is having 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 that has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, the global slowdown of economic activity (including the decrease in demand for goods and services), and significant volatility in and disruption to financial markets. Because the severity, magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic consequences are uncertain, rapidly changing and 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, business and individuals’ actions that have been and continue to be taken in response to the pandemic (including restrictions on travel, transport and workforce pressures); the impact of the pandemic and actions taken in response to it on global and regional economies and travel; the availability of federal, state, or local funding programs; general economic uncertainty in global markets and financial market volatility; global economic conditions and levels of economic growth; and the pace of recovery when the COVID-19 pandemic subsides.

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:

Operations-related risks: Across our business, we are facing increased operational challenges, including low demand for air travel, significant reductions in our flight schedule, decreased passenger traffic on our current routes, high-volume customer service requests for refunds and cancellations, the need to protect employee and customer health and safety, site shutdowns, workplace disruptions, need for contract modifications and cancellations, and other restrictions on business operations and the movement of people, including a 14-day quarantine requirement for all travelers to and within the state of Hawai’i. These and similar factors related directly and indirectly to the COVID-19 pandemic adversely impact our business. We expect that the longer the period of economic disruption continues, the more material the adverse impact will be on our business operations, financial performance and results of operations.

Customer-related risks: The voluntary and mandated decline in business and leisure travel due to due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including mandatory restrictions placed on travel by governments globally, has caused interruption of our inter-island, domestic and international flights, which has had a material adverse effect on our business and could have a material adverse effect on the future viability of our business. Changes in passenger air travel trends arising from COVID-19 may continue to develop or persist over time and further contribute to this adverse effect. We are also observing a significant increase in the number of requests for cancellations and refunds by customers, and these trends may lead to additional adverse financial impacts for us over time.

Liquidity- and funding-related risks: While we are seeking support under the CARES Act and have access to a committed credit line, a prolonged period of generating lower cash from operations could adversely affect our financial condition and the achievement of our strategic objectives. Additionally, there can be no assurance that we will not face additional credit rating downgrades as a result of weaker than anticipated performance of our businesses or other factors. Future downgrades could further adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets. Conditions in the financial and credit markets may also limit the availability of funding or increase the cost of funding, which could adversely affect our business, financial position


and results of operations. Although the U.S. federal government has announced funding programs to support businesses under the CARES Act, our ability or willingness to access sufficient funding under this program may be limited or change.

The COVID-19 pandemic may also affect our operating and financial results in a manner that is not presently known to us or that we currently do not expect to present significant risks to our operations or financial results. Further, the outbreak of another disease or similar public health threat in the future could also have an adverse effect on our business operations, liquidity, financial performance, results of operations, financial position or the achievement of our strategic objectives.

ECONOMIC RISKS

Our business is affected by global economic volatility, including the current economic downturn precipitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our business and results of operations are significantly impacted by general world-wide economic conditions, including the current economic downturn related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Demand for discretionary purchases including air travel and vacations to, from and within the Hawaiian Islands has declined and remains unpredictable, which has negatively impacted our results of operations and financial condition. Our business depends on the demand for air travel to, from and within the Hawaiian Islands. Further deterioration or instability in demand resulting from travel restrictions, ongoing economic uncertainty or further 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. We cannot assure that we will be able to offset such revenue reductions by reducing our costs or seeking relief through the CARES Act or other programs or opportunities.

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 and business operations, we have experienced a significant decline in the demand for travel to, from and amongst the Hawaiian Islands. Globally, governments have instituted “stay home,” “shelter-in-place” or other restrictions on travel. On March 21, 2020, the Governor of the State of Hawai’i issued an order requiring all travelers arriving or returning to Hawai’i from the continental United States or other countries to be subject to a mandatory 14-day self-quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic. On March 30, 2020, the Governor of Hawai’i extended the 14-day quarantine requirement to travelers between the Hawaiian Islands. These measures deter travel and have a significant impact on our business operations. Additionally, Hawai'i tourism levels are generally affected by the economic and political climate in Hawai'i's main tourism markets, the availability of hotel accommodations, the popularity of Hawai'i as a tourist destination relative to other vacation destinations, and other global factors including health crises, natural disasters, safety, and security. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, various public events, attractions and venues have been closed, impacting tourism in Hawai’i and the other locations on our routes. We cannot predict when these closures will cease and when tourism levels will recover. Additionally, from time to time, various events and industry-specific problems such as labor strikes have had a negative impact on tourism in Hawai'i. 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 adversely compound the existing effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on Hawai'i 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 current effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on Hawai'i tourism. A decline in the level of Hawai'i passenger traffic due to a decline in tourism has had and may continue to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Our business has 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. 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. We entered into Japanese Yen denominated debt agreements totaling $227.9 million and $86.5 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively. If our business continues to expand internationally, there is no assurance that such 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, 2019 for further information regarding our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates.

LIQUIDITY RISKS

See Item 2 “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for further information regarding our liquidity.

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 Airbus and Boeing to acquire new aircraft. We may finance these upcoming aircraft deliveries; however, the unpredictability of global credit market conditions, including related to the current COVID-19 pandemic, may adversely affect the availability of financing or may result in unfavorable terms and conditions. We can offer no assurance that the financing we need 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, 2020, we had $817 million in outstanding debt. 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 operational 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
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 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 our 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 loan agreements with the U.S. Treasury pursuant to the CARES Act that have certain operating restrictions.

On April 22, 2020, we entered into definitive agreements with Treasury as part of the PSP under the CARES Act, as discussed further in the in the section titled “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Under the definitive agreements, Hawaiian, on behalf of itself and us, agreed to refrain from conducting involuntary furloughs or reducing employee rates of pay or benefits through September 30, 2020, limit executive compensation through March 24, 2022 and suspend payment of dividends and stock repurchases through September 30, 2021. The terms of the definitive agreements also impose certain Treasury mandated reporting obligations on Hawaiian and us. Finally, Hawaiian is required to continue to provide air service to markets served prior to March 1, 2020 until March 1, 2022, to the extent determined reasonable and practicable by the DOT. Because of the 14-day quarantine order in place for travelers to and within Hawaiʻi and the dramatic decrease in demand for air service to and between the Hawaiian Islands, we applied for and received an exemption from the DOT from certain of the service requirements.


The restrictions placed on us as part of our participation in the PSP under the CARES act may affect our financial and business operations.

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 competitive prices could negatively impact our operating results. Many of our competitors on our North America and International routes are much larger and have greater financial resources and brand recognition than we do. 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. 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 LCCs, could decrease our share of the markets in which we operate, could cause a decline in our yields, or both, including in light of industry-wide reductions in air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

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, 2020, approximately 73% of our passenger revenue was generated from our Domestic routes. Many of our competitors, particularly major network carriers with whom we compete on our North America routes, enjoy greater geographical diversification of their revenue. Reductions in the level of demand for travel to, from, and within Hawai'i, such as those caused by the prevalence of COVID-19 in the United States as well as related government mandates on travel and business operations, simultaneously with sustained industry capacity on these routes, has reduced the revenue we are able to generate from our routes and adversely affected our financial results. Sustained reduction in our routes and continued industry capacity of major network carriers on routes to, from and within Hawai’i is likely to continue to adversely affect our financial results. Additionally, as these routes account for a significantly higher proportion of our revenue than they do for many of our competitors, they are likely to have a relatively greater adverse effect on our financial results by comparison.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THIRD-PARTY RISKS

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, including those related the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses, 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 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.



In addition, 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. For example, in April 2020, the flight attendants of Hawaiian, represented by the AFA, ratified an amended collective bargaining agreement, which among other things, includes a ratification payment, increased medical cost sharing, pay scale increases, and a one-time medical savings contribution to eligible flights attendants upon retirement. In connection with this amendment, our wages and benefits expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

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. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related decline in air travel, we are not likely to be able to utilize and fill current capacity or any additional capacity provided by any additional aircraft entering our fleet, hire and retain skilled personnel, or secure the required equipment and facilities in a cost-effective manner at the levels previously anticipated. As a result, we are unlikely to be able to meaningfully develop and grow our new and existing markets in the near term, which may adversely affect our business and operations for an indeterminant time period.

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.

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 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;
continued 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 the COVID-19 pandemic or any unexpected events, including those identified above.



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 are currently imposing restrictions that impede or restrict travel in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and a number 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 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.

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 current 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, may 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, Rolls Royce, Pratt & Whitney) 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. We do not yet know the impact of operational disruptions of our suppliers and believe that such disruptions could result in reputational harm, increased parts and maintenance costs, and adverse effects on our financial position and results of operations.

Our agreements to purchase Airbus A321neo aircraft and Boeing 787-9 aircraft represent significant future financial commitments and operating costs.

As of March 31, 2020, we had the following firm order commitments and purchase rights for additional aircraft:
Aircraft Type Firm Orders Purchase Rights Expected Delivery Dates
A321neo aircraft 1
 9
 In 2020
B787-9 aircraft 10
 10
 Between 2021 and 2025

We have made substantial pre-delivery payments for Airbus and Boeing 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. Due to the current impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are reevaluating these contracts. These commitments substantially increase our future capital spending requirements and may require us to increase our level of debt in future years.

In 2020, we have significant obligations in order to fund our current aircraft orders and we are continuing to evaluate our options to finance these orders via our operating cash flows and debt financing. 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. 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, resulting in impairment and other related charges that may negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.

Economic and intrinsic triggers, which include 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.

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 the following:

the impact of international crises, including the current COVID-19 pandemic;
operating results and financial condition;
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;
changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; and
sales of our common stock or other actions by investors with significant shareholdings.

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, may 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 cannot guarantee that we will repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program or continue to pay dividends on our common stock.

We have reached an agreement with the Treasury for financial relief under the CARES Act. Under the terms of this relief we will be required to suspend payment of dividends and refrain from engaging in stock repurchases through September 30, 2021. We announced on March 18, 2020 that we suspended stock repurchases under our previously announced repurchase program, which expires December 31, 2020. As such, we do not anticipate any future repurchases under our currently approved repurchase program 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 after the restrictions related to the CARES Act are no longer applicable, based on our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, and general business conditions.
