Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
 
1. General
 
Business and Basis of Presentation

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the Company, Holdings, we, us and our)Company) and its direct wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian), are incorporated in the State of Delaware. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms the Company, we, us, and our in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q refer to Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian. The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial position for the periods presented. Due to seasonal 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 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, 2019.2020.

The Company reclassified certain prior period amounts for government grant recognition contra-expense from wages and benefits to its own financial statement line item to conform to the current period presentation.

Unless otherwise noted, all amounts disclosed are stated before consideration of income taxes.

2. Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Due to the rapid and unprecedented 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 instituted requirements of self-isolation or quarantine for incoming travelers. This was followed by the announcement in March 2020 of a 14-day mandatory quarantine for all travelers to, from and within the State of Hawai`i. These restrictions, combined with the ongoing spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic globally, have continued to suppress customer demand.

Despite the easing of travel restrictions in recent months within the United States, restrictions for travel to and within the State of Hawai`i as well as travel to and from various international locations, including those in the Hawaiian network, remain in effect. In September 2020, the Governor of the State of Hawai`i announced that a program allowing travelers from the U.S. mainland coming to Hawai`i to bypass the quarantine requirement with proof of a negative COVID-19 test from a state-approved testing partner would begin on October 15, 2020. Following this announcement, the Company saw increases in bookings and has slowly begun rebuilding its Neighbor Island and North America flight schedule commensurate with the anticipated increases in demand.

The exact timing and pace of the recovery of passenger demand continues to remain uncertain. Certain markets have reopened, some of which have since experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, while others, particularly international markets, remain closed or are enforcing extended quarantines for most U.S. residents. See Note 6, for a discussion of the recognition of passenger revenue, the Company's air traffic liability and ticket breakage.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company implemented various measures to mitigate declining demand through capacity and cost reductions, while managing cash flow and liquidity.

Capacity Reductions. Beginning in the second half of March, the Company experienced a significant decline in demand as COVID-19 spread globally. In response, the Company significantly reduced system capacity to a level that maintained essential services to align capacity with expected demand. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company reduced capacity by 86.5% and 60.2%, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2019. As a result of capacity reductions, the Company temporarily parked approximately 29% of its fleet as of September 30, 2020.

Expense Management. In response to the reduction in revenue, the Company has implemented, and will continue to implement cost savings and liquidity measures, including:

In the first quarter 2020, the Company instituted a temporary hiring freeze, except with respect to operationally critical and essential positions.
9


The Company reduced capital expenditures for 2020 and continues to evaluate non-essential, non-aircraft capital expenditures. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, capital expenditures were approximately $7.8 million and $101.8 million, respectively.
The Company’s officers reduced their base salaries between 10% and 50% through September 30, 2020. Members of the Board of Directors also reduced their compensation.
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company announced and completed voluntary separation and temporary leave programs across each of its labor groups. Additionally, the Company completed involuntary terminations, the majority of which were effective October 1, 2020. Combined, separation and temporary leave programs resulted in an approximately 32% reduction of the Company's total workforce.
On October 26, 2020, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to its 787-9 purchase agreement with Boeing, which provides for, among other things, a change in the aircraft delivery schedule from 2021 through 2025 to 2022 through 2026, with the first delivery now scheduled in September 2022. Refer to Note 11 for additional discussion, including the impact of the Amendment on the Company's future financial commitments.

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.

Cash Flow and Liquidity Management. The Company's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2020 was $979.1 million. The Company has taken various actions to increase liquidity and strengthen our financial position during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, including, but not limited to:

During the first quarter 2020, the Company fully drew down its previously undrawn $235.0 million revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 9 for additional discussion.
During the first and second quarters of 2020, the Company suspended its stock repurchase program and payment of dividends.
During the second and third quarters of 2020, the Company received $240.6 million in grants and $60.3 million in loans from the U.S. Department of Treasury (the Treasury) pursuant to the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) Payroll Support Program (PSP), as discussed in further detail below.
During the third quarter 2020, the Company entered into a Loan and Guarantee Agreement (Loan Agreement) with Treasury pursuant to the CARES Act Economic Relief Program (ERP) to provide for a secured term loan which permits the Company to borrow up to $420.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company had borrowed $45 million under the program as discussed in further detail below.
During the third quarter 2020, the Company completed $376.0 million in other financings secured by aircraft, including the issuance of enhanced equipment trust certificates and 2 sale-leaseback transactions. Refer to Note 9 and the sale-leaseback transactions section in this Note 2 for more information on the Company's financing activities during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.

The Company continues to explore and pursue options to raise additional financing by leveraging its unencumbered assets, which as of September 30, 2020, included 12 aircraft with an estimated fair value of approximately $242.7 million.

Based on these actions, including revenue 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 in the Company's financing agreements for more than the next twelve months, prior to giving effect to any additional financing that may occur. 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 first quarter of 2020, the adverse economic impact and declining passenger demand attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic drove the Company's stock price to 52-week lows and significantly reduced future cash flow projections. The Company qualitatively assessed that an impairment loss may have been incurred as of March 31, 2020 and performed an
10


interim test of the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company determined that the estimated fair value of the Company's 1 reporting unit was less than its carrying value and that the deficit between fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the amount of goodwill on the Company's unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, leading to the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Fair value was 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. Under the market approach, the principal assumption included an estimate for a control premium.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company had approximately $13.5 million in indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to impairment. The Company determined that the fair value of its indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded its carrying value and was not impaired.

Valuation of Long-Lived Assets

The Company's long-lived assets, consisting principally of aircraft and other non-aircraft equipment, are classified as property and equipment, net on the Company's unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, and have a recorded value of approximately $2.1 billion at September 30, 2020. The Company reviews long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, including capacity reductions, the temporary grounding of the majority of its fleet, as well as reduced future cash flow projections, the Company previously identified, and continues to identify, indicators of impairment of its long-lived assets.

In the second quarter of 2020, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $34.0 million related to its ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets, assets held under its commercial real estate subsidiary, and software-related projects that were discontinued as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company estimated the fair value of its ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets using a third-party valuation and estimated the fair value of the assets held in its commercial real-estate subsidiary using a combination of a market and income-based approach, which estimates fair value based upon projections of future revenues, expenses, and cash flows discounted to its present value. 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.

To determine whether impairment exists for aircraft used in operations, assets are grouped by fleet-type (the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows) and future cash flows are estimated based on projections of capacity, yield, fuel costs, labor costs and other relevant factors. Given the substantial reduction in the Company's active aircraft and diminished projections of future cash flows in the near term, the Company evaluated the remainder of its fleet and determined that only the fleet types discussed above were impaired as the future cash flows from operation of the fleet through the respective retirement dates exceeded the carrying value. The Company will continue to monitor the duration and extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business and will continue to evaluate its current fleet and other long-lived assets 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 14.

Payroll Support Program

On April 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Payroll Support Program agreement (the PSP Agreement) with the Treasury under the CARES Act. In connection with the PSP Agreement, the Company entered into a Warrant Agreement
11


(the PSP Warrant Agreement) with the Treasury, and the Company issued a promissory note to the Treasury (the Note). Pursuant to the PSP Agreement, the Treasury provided the Company with financial assistance, paid in installments, totaling approximately $300.9 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) and subject to exemptions granted by the DOT to the Company given the absence of demand for certain of such services.

The Note issued by Hawaiian to the Treasury was in the total principal amount of approximately $60.3 million. 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 PSP Warrant Agreement, the Company issued to the Treasury a total of 509,964 warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $11.82 per share (the PSP Warrants). The PSP 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. Refer to Note 9 for additional discussion.

Economic Relief Program

On September 25, 2020 (ERP Closing Date), the Company entered into the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement provides for a secured term loan facility which permits the Company to borrow up to $420.0 million (the Facility). On the ERP Closing Date, the Company borrowed $45.0 million and may, at its option, borrow additional amounts in up to 2 subsequent borrowings until March 26, 2021, so long as, after giving effect to any further borrowing, the collateral coverage ratio is no less than 2.0 to 1.0. The proceeds from the Facility will be used for certain general corporate purposes and operating expenses in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Loan Agreement. As a condition to the drawing under the Facility, we are required to comply with all applicable provisions of the CARES Act.

Borrowings under the Facility will initially bear interest at a variable rate per annum equal to (a) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus (b) 2.50% accrued interest on the loans is payable in arrears on the first business day following the 14th day of each March, June, September and December (beginning with September 15, 2021), and on the Maturity Date (as defined below). The applicable interest rate for the $45 million loan drawn on the ERP Closing Date under the Facility is 2.73% per annum for the period from the ERP Closing Date through September 15, 2021 at which time the interest rate will reset in accordance with the foregoing formula. All advances under the Facility will be in the form of term loans, all of which will mature and be due and payable in a single installment on June 30, 2024.

The Facility is secured by (i) the Company's frequent flyer loyalty program, HawaiianMiles, including but not limited to loyalty program partner participation agreements (including rights to receive cash flows thereunder), documents, deposit accounts, securities accounts, books and records and intellectual property primarily used in connection with the loyalty program and (ii) 14 Boeing 717-200 airframes and the related 28 Rolls Royce BR715-A1-30 engines, together with their related accessories, aircraft documents and parts (collectively, the Collateral). The Facility is also subject to various financial covenants, including a minimum collateral coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0 and a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 1.75 to 1.00.

6.5. 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 capable 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 transportation 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 recognized as passenger 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 passenger revenue is derived from passenger ticket sales. Other revenue is primarily derived from the Company's cargo operations and loyalty program. The Company's primary operations are that of its wholly-ownedwholly owned subsidiary, Hawaiian. Principally all operations of Hawaiian either originate and/or end in the Statestate of Hawai`i.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)U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)) are summarized below:

To calculate the portion to be recognized as revenue in the period, the Company utilizes historical information to estimate breakage and applies the trend rate to the current Air traffic liability balances for that specific period.

Frequent flyer program deferred revenue classified as a current liability represents the Company's current estimate of revenue expected to be recognized in the next 12 months based on projected redemptions, while the balance classified as a noncurrent liability represents the Company's current estimate of revenue expected to be recognized beyond 12 months. Due to the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, including changes to the Company's ticket validity and exchange policies, and the uncertainty of the pacing to return to normalized service in various markets, primarily international, management continues to monitor customers' travel behavior and may adjust its estimates in the future as additional information becomes available.

In April 2021, the Company announced the elimination of its HawaiianMiles expiration policy, effective immediately. The Company does not believe that the change in policy will have a material impact on its accounting estimates and will continue to evaluate the impact of this change as additional information becomes available.

6.  Fair Value Measurements
 
Accounting 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.

Cash equivalents.equivalents and restricted cash. The Company's Cash equivalents designated asLevel 1 cash equivalents consist of money market securities. securities and mutual funds. Restricted cash includes funds held in a controlled account to be used for debt service payments associated with the Company's loyalty and intellectual brand offering. The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these assets. The Company'sThese instruments are valued based on a market approach using prices generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets. Cash equivalents designated as Level 2 cash equivalents consist primarily of debt securities.securities with original maturity dates less than 90 days. These instruments are valued using quoted prices for similar assets in active markets.

Short-term investments. Equity mutual funds are designated as Level 1 instruments and are valued based on a market approach using prices generated by market transactions involving identical or similar assets. Short-term investments designated as Level 2 are valued based on a market approach using industry standard valuation techniques that incorporate inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets, interest rates, benchmark curves, credit ratings, and other observable inputs. As of September 30, 2020,2021, corporate debt securities, have remaining maturities of two years or less, U.S. government and agency securities, and asset-backed securities have remaining maturities of approximately tworanging from less than one year to more than five years, or less, andwhile other fixed-income securities have remaining maturities of one year or less.

Fuel derivative contracts. The Company’s fuel derivative contracts consist of crude oil call options, which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair value of these instruments is determined based on inputs available or derived from public markets including contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, and measures of volatility among others.

Foreign currency derivatives. The Company’s foreign currency derivatives consist of Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar forward contracts and are valued primarily based upon data readily observable in public markets.

Assets held for sale. The Company's assets held for sale consist of aircraft, engine, rotable and expendable aircraft parts, and commercial real estate. The assets are measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell and a loss is recognized for any initial adjustment of the assets' carrying amount to fair value less cost to sell. The fair value measurements for the Company's held-for-sale assets were based on Level 3 inputs, which include information obtained from third-party valuation sources and other market sources. Refer to Note 11 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

8.7.  Financial Derivative Instruments
 
The Company uses derivatives to manage risks associated with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impact of fluctuations in global fuel prices 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, 2020, the Company's portfolio comprised of crude oil call options, which were not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, anyAny changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are adjusted through other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company did not enter into or hold any fuel derivative positions.

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.

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.

16


The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to further manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates. The gain or loss 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. 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company de-designated certain hedged transactions with maturity dates through February 2022 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 $0.5 million and $3.9 million from AOCI to nonoperating income in the period during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively. Future gains and losses related to these instruments will continue to be recorded in nonoperating expense. As of September 30, 2020,2021, the Company did not have any remaining derivative instruments designated for hedge accounting.
 
The following tables present the gross fair value of asset and liability derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 and derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, as well as the net derivative positions and location of the asset and liability balances within the Company's unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 assesses 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.

2117



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 0no collateral posted with counterparties as of September 30, 20202021 and $0.4 million in collateral posted with its counterparties as of December 31, 2019.2020.

The Company is also subject to market risk in the event that 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.

Revolving Credit Facility

In March 2020, the Company drew down $235.0 million in revolving loans pursuant to its Amended and Restated Credit and Guaranty Agreement (the Credit Agreement) dated December 11, 2018. In February 2021, the Company repaid the entire $235.0 million then outstanding. The Credit Agreement terminates, and all outstanding revolving loans thereunder will be due and payable, on December 11, 2022, unless otherwise extended by the parties. The revolving loans bear a variable interest rate equal to the LIBO Rate plus a margin of 2.25% per annum. The revolving loans are secured by certain assets of Hawaiian and the Company.

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.

22


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-partiesthird 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, 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. As of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there were 0no holdbacks held with the Company's credit card processors.
 
In the event of a material adverse change in the Company's business, the credit card processor could increase holdbacks to up to 100% of the amount of outstanding credit card tickets that are unflown (e.g., Air traffic liability, excluding frequent flyer deferred revenue), which would result in a restriction of cash. If the Company were unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could have a material impact on the Company's operations, business or financial condition.

The Company recognizedqualitatively assessed that an impairment loss may have been incurred and performed an interim test of the recoverability of its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. The Company determined that the estimated fair value of the Company's 1 reporting unit was less than its carrying value and that the deficit between fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the amount of goodwill on the Company's unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, leading to the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million duringin the nine months ended September 30,first quarter of 2020.

The Company estimated the fair value of its ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets using a third-party valuation and estimated the fair value of the assets held in its commercial real-estate subsidiary using a combination of a market and income-based approach, which estimates fair value based upon projections of future revenues, expenses, and cash flows discounted to its present value. 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.

(4)In the second quarter of 2021, the Company announced the termination of its 'Ohana by Hawaiian operations. The Company wrote-down the asset group to fair value, less cost to sell by approximately $6.4 million.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 a result of the CARES Act. The Company will continue to monitor the updates on guidance issued with respect to the CARES Act.

Unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments of $979.1 millionwas $2.0 billion as of September 30, 20202021.

See “Results of Operations” below for further discussion of changes in revenue and operating expense. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for our reconciliation of Non-GAAP measures.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic

Due to the rapid and unprecedented spread of COVID-19, whatwhich began with our suspension of service to South Korea and Japan in late February accelerated in March when governments instituted requirements of self-isolation or quarantine for incoming travel. This was followed by the announcement in March 2020 of a 14-day mandatory quarantine for all travelers to, from and within the State of Hawai`i. These restrictions, combined with the ongoing spread and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic globally, have continued to suppress customer demand, which continues at historically low levels.

Despite the easing of travel restrictions in recent months in the United States, restrictions for travel to and within the State of Hawai`i as well as travel to and from various international locations, including those in our network, remains in effect. In September 2020, the Governor of the State of Hawai`i announced that a program allowing travelers coming to Hawai`i from the mainland U.S. to bypass the quarantine requirement with the proof of a negative COVID-19 test from a state-approved testing partner would begin on October 15, 2020. Following this announcement, the Company saw increases in bookings and has slowly begun rebuilding its Neighbor Island and North America flight schedule commensurate with anticipated increases in demand.

The exact timing and pace of the recovery of passenger demand continues to remain uncertain. Certain markets have reopened, some of which have since experienced a resurgence of COVID-19 cases, while others, particularly international markets, remain closed or are enforcing extended quarantines for most U.S. residents.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have implemented enhanced safety protocols focusing on our staff and guests, while at the same time working to mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our financial position and operations.

37


Guest and Employee Experience. We have enhanced cleaning procedures and revised guest-facing procedures in an effort to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19. These procedures are in line with current recommendations from leading public health authorities and include:

Performing enhanced aircraft cleaning between flight and during overnight, including recurring electrostatic spraying of all aircraft.
Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of counters and self-service check-in kiosks in our airports.
Ensuring hand sanitizers are readily available for guests at airports we serve.
Requiring guests and guest facing employees to wear a face mask or covering, with guests required to keep them on from check-in to deplaning.
Modifying boarding and deplaning processes and limiting the capacity of available seats on all aircraft to approximately 70% of normalized capacity through December 15th.
Modifying in-flight service to reduce close interactions between crew members and guests.
Eliminating change fees on all domestic and international flights in order to provide guests with travel flexibility across our network.
Launching a program to offer guests pre-travel COVID-19 testing through mail-in kits and proprietary drive-through testing labs in select U.S. mainland gateways.

Capacity Impacts. In response to the reduced passenger demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we significantly reduced system capacity late in the first quarter of 2020, to a level that maintained essential services while aligning capacity with expected passenger demand. For the quarter and year ended September 30, 2020, system capacity was reduced 86.5% and 60.2%, respectively,we have experienced significantly suppressed customer demand as compared to the same periods in 2019. In connectionpre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, with this reduction, we temporarily parkedpassenger revenue down approximately 29% of our fleet as of September 30, 2020.

Expense Management. In response to the reduction in revenue, we have implemented34.6% and will continue to implement, cost savings and liquidity measures, including:

In the first quarter 2020, we instituted a temporary hiring freeze, except with respect to operationally critical and essential positions.
We reduced capital expenditures for 2020 and continue to evaluate non-essential, non-aircraft capital expenditures. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, capital expenditures were approximately $7.8 million and $101.8 million, respectively.
Our officers reduced their base salaries between 10% and 50% through September 30, 2020. Members of our Board of Directors also temporarily reduced their compensation.
During the third quarter of 2020, we announced and completed voluntary separation and temporary leave programs across each of our labor groups. Additionally, we completed involuntary separations, the majority of which were effective October 1, 2020. Combined, separation and temporary leave programs resulted in an approximately 32% reduction of our total workforce.
On October 26, 2020, we entered into the Amendment related to our Boeing 787-9 purchase agreement with Boeing, which provides for, among other things, a change in the aircraft delivery schedule from 2021 through 2025 to 2022 through 2026, with the first delivery now scheduled in September 2022. Refer to Note 11 for additional discussion, including the impact of this amendment on our future financial commitments.

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.

Cash Flow and Liquidity Management. Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of September 30, 2020 was $979.1 million as a result of various actions taken to increase liquidity and strengthen financial position during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, including, but not limited to:

During the first quarter of 2020, we fully drew down our previously undrawn $235.0 million revolving credit facility. Refer to Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
During the first quarter of 2020, we suspended our stock repurchase program and on April 22, 2020, we suspended dividend payments.
During the second and third quarters of 2020, we received $240.6 million in grants and $60.3 million in loans pursuant to the CARES Act PSP, as discussed in further detail below.
During the third quarter 2020, we entered into the Loan Agreement with the Treasury pursuant to the ERP under the CARES to provide for a secured term loan which permits us to borrow up to $420.0 million. As of September 30,
38


2020, we had borrowed $45.0 million under the program. On October 23, 2020, we amended and restated our Loan Agreement with the Treasury to increase the maximum facility available to be borrowed by the Company to $622 million.
During the third quarter 2020, we completed $376.0 million in financings secured by aircraft, including the issuance of enhanced equipment trust certificates and two sale and lease track transactions. See Note 2 and Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our financing activities51.4%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.2021, as compared to the same periods in 2019.

During the third quarter of 2021, we continued to rebuild our network, leading to a 17.9% increase in overall capacity as compared to the second quarter of 2021 and a 488.7% increase as compared to the third quarter of 2020; however, capacity remained depressed from pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, down 20.7% and 32.9%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2019. During the fourth quarter of 2021, we anticipate capacity will be down between 18% to 21%, as compared to the same period in 2019.

Effective June 15, 2021, the State of Hawai'i Safe Travels Program was updated to remove restrictions on travel within the state of Hawai'i, and to permit travelers who were fully vaccinated in the state of Hawai'i to bypass testing or quarantine requirements with proof of vaccination when traveling into the state.Effective July 8, 2021, all U.S. domestic travelers who were fully vaccinated in the United States also were permitted to bypass pre-travel testing or quarantine requirements with proof of vaccination when entering the state starting the 15th day following completion of their vaccination. Furthermore, in September 2021, both the City and County of Honolulu and the County of Maui enacted programs that impose certain
34


vaccination and testing requirements on employees and customers of restaurants, bars, gyms and other similar establishments, with limited exceptions.

Restrictions on travel to and from various international locations (including those within our network) remain in effect, continuing to suppress international travel demand, with revenue down 88.1% during the third quarter of 2021 as compared to the same period in 2019. During the third quarter of 2021, our domestic network accounted for approximately 94.9% of total passenger revenue. We continue to monitor developments relating to the easing of restrictions on international travel by both the U.S. government and international governments.

Despite the easing of restrictions on travel to and within Hawai'i, uncertainties remain regarding the impact of vaccination-related travel requirements and increased vaccination availability and uptake on the demand for air travel, including the availability, reliability and effectiveness of vaccines domestically and worldwide, particularly as new variants of the COVID-19 virus have emerged and spread. There can be no assurance whether, at some point, the State of Hawai'i or counties within the state may limit or suspend the ability for travelers to bypass quarantine requirements should the prevalence of the COVID-19 pandemic worsen. The U.S. government and international governments could also impose, extend or otherwise modify existing travel restrictions on international travel. Additionally, ongoing restrictions or shortages in other sectors of the travel industry, such as hotel or transportation availability, including as a result of vaccination requirements and any associated labor shortages, could negatively impact our operations and affect our ability to satisfy any increased demand we experience. As a result of all the above factors and our results to date, we expect bookings, revenue and results of operations to continue to be below pre-2020 historical levels during 2021. Unpredictability in the demand for air travel as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may result in decreases to existing or anticipated levels of demand, and such decreases could be material to our business. We will continue to exploreassess our routes and pursue optionsschedule in response to raise additional financing as opportunities arise.changes in demand, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic.

CARES ActGovernment Support Programs

OnThe CARES Act was enacted on March 27, 2020 President Trump signed into law the CARES Act, whichand provides an estimated $2.2 trillion to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and stimulate the U.S. economy.

Lastly, the CARES Act provided for the carryback of additional net operating loss carryforwards (NOLs) to 2016 and 2017, which will result in tax benefits that are further discussedfor those years.

Economic Relief Program Loan

In September 2020, the Company entered into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement under the ERP pursuant to which the maximum facility available to be borrowed by us increased to $622.0 million (the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement). In connection with our entry into the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement, we also entered into an ERP Warrant Agreement with the Treasury. On September 25, 2020, we borrowed $45.0 million and issued to the Treasury warrants to purchase up to 380,711 shares of our common stock. We recorded the value of the loan and the warrants on a relative fair value basis as $41.9 million in Note 14noncurrent debt and $3.1 million in additional paid in capital, respectively.

On February 4, 2021, we repaid in full the $45.0 million loan under the ERP, and in connection with this repayment, terminated the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement. The debt extinguishment resulted in the Notes torecognition of a loss of $4.0 million, which is reflected in nonoperating income (expense) in the Consolidated Financial Statements.Statement of Operations.

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled approximately $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2021, compared to $0.9 billion as of December 31, 2020. As a result of the employer portion of social security taxes throughCOVID-19 pandemic, we took actions to increase liquidity and augment our financial position. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount dueyear ended December 31, 2020 filed on February 12, 2021, andfor a comprehensive discussion of actions taken in 2020. Refer to discussions below for actions taken during the remaining 50% duenine months ended September 30, 2021.

As of September 30, 2021, our total debt was $2.0 billion, an increase of $821.8 million, or 71.5%, as compared to $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2022. Lastly,2020. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we completed the following financing transactions:

On February 4, 2021, we issued $1.2 billion in 5.75% senior secured notes, which are collateralized by our loyalty program and intellectual property, as discussed above. The Notes require quarterly interest payments and mature in January 2026.
On February 4, 2021, we repaid in full the $45.0 million ERP loan issued pursuant to the CARES Act, provides forand in connection with such repayment, terminated the carrybackAmended and Restated Loan Agreement. The warrants remain outstanding pursuant to the terms of additional net operating lossesthe agreement.
On February 11, 2021, we repaid the $235.0 million outstanding balance drawn on our revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility matures in December 2022 and remains available to 2016draw upon at a future date in the event the need arises.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we received $192.7 million in grants and 2017, which will result$27.8 million in tax benefits for those years.loans from the Treasury pursuant to the PSP Extension under CAA 2021. The Extension Note requires interest payments with the principal balance due at maturity in 2031.
During the second quarter of 2021, we received $179.7 million pursuant to the PSP3 Agreement, consisting of approximately $155.8 million in a grant and $23.9 million in a ten-year note. The PSP3 Note requires interest payments with the principal balance due at maturity in 2031.

Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we issued 2.9 million shares in connection with our Equity Distribution Agreement entered into in December 2020, at an average price of $24.47 per share generating net proceeds of approximately $68.1 million. As of March 5, 2021, we issued all of the 5.0 million shares authorized under the Equity Distribution Agreement.

Based on these actions, including anticipated revenue recovery assumptions, we believe that we have sufficient liquidity to satisfy our obligations and remain in compliance with existing debt covenants. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flows to support our future payment obligations, comply with debt covenants, compete successfully with less heavily leveraged competitors, manage potential adverse economic and industry conditions in the future or maintain our credit ratings, the impact to our business and financial condition could be material.

The declineincrease in both periods waswere the result of improved demand for passenger travel, predominantly within our North America to Hawai'i network, driven by the ongoing impactsrelaxing of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Despite the easing of travel restrictions in the United States, restrictions for travel to and within the state of Hawai'i, and improving COVID-19 vaccination rates. However, demand on our domestic network remains below our pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, down 13.6% and 37.5%, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, as compared to the same periods in 2019.

During the second quarter of 2021, the State of Hawai`i as well asHawai'i announced updates to its Safe Travels Program, including that, beginning June 15, 2021, all passengers who are not in quarantine are free to travel between islands without restriction and, beginning July 8, 2021, individuals who are fully vaccinated in the United States entering Hawai'i on domestic flights may bypass pre-travel testing or quarantine with proof of vaccination starting the 15th day following the completion of their vaccination.
In the first quarter of 2021, we announced the expansion of service with the addition of three new U.S. mainland destinations: Austin, Texas, Orlando, Florida, and Ontario, California with service to and from various international locations, including those in our network, remains in effect. In September 2020, the Governor of the State of Hawai`i announced that a program allowing travelers from the mainland U.S. coming to Hawai`i to bypass the quarantine requirement with proof of a negative COVID-19 test, from a state-approved provider, would begin on October 15, 2020. Following this announcement, we saw increases in bookings and have slowly begun rebuilding our Neighbor Island and North America flight schedule commensurate with the anticipated increases in demand. The exact timing and pace of the recovery remain uncertain. InHonolulu, Hawai'i, each of which commenced between March and April 2021. We also expanded service with a daily non-stop flight between Kahului, Hawai'i and Long Beach, California, which commenced in March 2021.

While we recommenced scheduled international passenger flights on a limited basis beginning in the fourth quarter of 2020, we suspended allcustomer demand across our international flights in response tonetwork remains depressed given international government travel restrictions and the availability, reliability and effectiveness of vaccines, particularly as new variants of the COVID-19 pandemic.virus emerge and spread. We expect this significantly lower international demand environment to continue through the remainderfourth quarter of 2020 and into at least early 2021, with improvement in the international markets expected to lag behind the domestic demand recovery onceuntil government travel restrictions begin to lift and customer demand starts to return.

Wages and benefits

Wages and benefits expense decreasedincreased by $163.4$31.8 million, or 89.3%21.4%, and $299.9$32.6 million, or 55.7%6.8%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021, respectively, as compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarilyperiods. Actions taken by the Company in response to decreased passenger travel demand attributed to the recognitionCOVID-19 pandemic in 2020, through voluntary and involuntary programs had a significant impact on wages and benefits during 2020. Beginning in the first quarter of approximately $129.1 million and $240.6 million in contra-expense related2021, improving domestic travel demand led to the grant portionramp up of PSP fundingdomestic operations, notably amongst our front-line employees. These actions, combined with scheduled contractual wage increases, resulted in higher wages and benefits during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, and is being recorded in proportion to estimated wage and benefits expense over the period it covers. Additionally, in March 2020, we instituted a temporary hiring freeze, reduced officer salaries between 10% and 50% through September 2020, and instituted various voluntary and involuntary leave programs.

During the third quarter, we announced and completed voluntary separation program offerings across all of our labor groups. Additionally, we announced involuntary workforce reductions, the majority of which were effective October 1, 2020. Combined with our voluntary leave programs, this represents approximately 32% of our total workforce as of September 30, 2020. As a result, we expect salaries and related costs to decline in the fourth quarter of 2020 and into 2021 as compared to the respective prior year periods.same periods in 2020. We expect that wages and benefits will increase during the fourth quarter of 2021, as compared to the same periods in 2020, as we begin to ramp up our international operations.

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:

We expect commissions and other selling expenses to decline inincrease during the fourth quarter of 2020 versus the comparable prior year period due to the capacity reductions discussed above.

Aircraft rent

Aircraft rent expense decreased by $4.3 million, or 14.1%, and $14.7 million, or 16.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively,2021, as compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease in both periods was primarily attributed2020 as we continue to lease extensions entered into for certain of our A330-200 and Boeing 717-200 aircraft in the second half of 2019, resulting in more favorable lease rates extended over periods ranging between two to eight years. Refer to Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on February 12, 2020. Additionally, in July 2020, we completed two sale-leaseback transactions. The transactions qualified as a sale, generating an immaterial loss, and the associated assets were removed from our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets within property and equipment, net and recorded as operating lease right-of-use assets.rebuild operational capacity.

Special items

During the threenine months ended September 30, 2021, we announced the termination of our 'Ohana by Hawaiian operations, which operated under the CPA with a third-party carrier. We reclassified approximately $23.6 million to Assets held for sale and recognized a one-time expense of $6.4 million to write-down the asset group to fair value. Additionally, we recorded a charge of approximately $2.6 million for the early termination of the CPA.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized approximately $24.5 million and $185.4$178.4 million of operating special items respectively, comprised of the following:

In March 2020, we reached an agreement in principle with our flight attendants, represented by the AFA, on a new five-year contract that runs through April 2025. On April 3, 2020, we received notification from the AFA that the CBA

was ratified by its members. The ratified CBA provides for, among other things, 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 flight attendants upon retirement. During the first quarter of 2020, we recorded a $23.5 million ratification bonus, of which $20.2 million was related to service prior to January 1, 2020, and recognized this 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 in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the first quarter of 2020, the adverse economic impact and declining passenger demand attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic drove our stock price to 52-week lows and significantly reduced future cash flow projections. We qualitatively assessed that an impairment loss may have been incurred as of March 31, 2020 and performed an interim test of the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We determined that the estimated fair value of our one reporting unit was less than its carrying value and that the deficit between fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the amount of goodwill on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, leading to the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million in the first quarter of 2020.

During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded specialSpecial items of $34.0 million comprised of the following;following: (a) an impairment charge of $27.5 million to fair value our ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets, (b) an impairment charge of $3.4 million to fair value our commercial real estate assets;assets, and (c) an approximately $3.1 million write-off for discontinued software-related projects as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the third quarter of 2020, we announced and completed voluntary separation programs across each of our labor groups providing for one-time severance payments, the establishment of health reimbursement accounts and other benefits. Additionally, we announced involuntary separation and temporary leave programs, the majority of which were effective as of October 1, 2020. We recorded $17.5 million in severance and benefits as an operating special item and $7.0 million related to special termination benefits and curtailment loss as a nonoperating special item inon the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Other expenseGovernment grant recognition

In the first quarter of 2021, we entered into a PSP Extension Agreement with the Treasury and received $192.7 million in payroll support payments. In the second quarter, we received $179.7 million pursuant to the PSP3 Agreement, all of which must be used exclusively for the payment of employee wages, salaries and benefits. The decreasesupport payments included total grants of $320.6 million that was recognized as contra-expense in other expense is primarily driven by lower volume-related costs resulting from2021 over the decreased capacity duringperiod that the funds were expected to be utilized. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized total contra-expense of $78.3 million and $320.6 million, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of September 30, 2021, we have utilized all funds received under the payroll support programs.

Other expense

Other expense increased by $13.6 million, or 82.3%, and $2.7 million, or 3.4%, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2020. The increase during the third quarter 2021 was primarily attributed to the ramp up of operations, including personnel-related expenditures for crew travel, professional and technical expenditures, and other miscellaneous expense. We expect other expense to decline inincrease during the fourth quarter 2020 versus the comparable prior year period dueof 2021 as we continue to the capacity reductions discussed above.rebuild operational capacity.

Nonoperating Income (Expense)

Net nonoperating expense increased by $14.4$1.8 million, or 177.3%7.9%, and $12.1$21.6 million, or 57.1%65.0%, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 as compared to the same periods in 2019.2020. The increase in expense was primarily attributed to an increase in interest expense as a result of the movement of realized$1.2 billion loyalty and unrealized gainsintellectual property financing completed in February 2021. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recorded $7.0 million related to special termination benefits and curtailment losses associatedin connection with our fuel and foreign currency derivative instruments, which are not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and the movement of unrealized gains and losses on our debt instruments denominated in foreign currency.separation program, as discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (excluding restricted cash) totaled $979.1 millionapproximately $2.0 billion as of September 30, 2020,2021, compared to $618.7approximately $864.4 million as of December 31, 2019.2020. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have taken, and are continuing to take,took actions in 2020 to increase liquidity and augment our financial position which include:and continued to do so into the first quarter of 2021 with the closing of our $1.2 billion loyalty and intellectual property financing. For additional discussion of the actions we took in 2020 and the first quarter of 2021 to increase liquidity and augment our financial position, refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2021 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, filed with the SEC on April 28, 2021 and July 29, 2021, respectively. Additionally, for a discussion of liquidity actions taken during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, refer to the "Material Changes to our Consolidated Balance Sheet" section above. In connection with our 2021 financing activities, our total debt obligations increased $821.8 million, or 71.5% as of September 30, 2021 as compared to December 31, 2020.

On March 16, 2020, we drew down fully from our previously undrawn $235.0 million revolving credit facility;
We suspended dividend payments, and our stock repurchase program;
We received $240.6 million in grants and $60.3 million in loans pursuant to the PSP under the CARES Act;
In September 2020, we entered into the Loan Agreement with the Treasury to borrow up to $420.0 million in secured term loans pursuant to the ERP under the CARES Act. As of September 30, 2020, we had borrowed $45.0 million under the program; and
During the third quarter, we completed $376.0 million in financings secured by aircraft, including the issuance of enhanced equipment trust certificates and two sale-leaseback transactions. See Note 2 and Note 9 to the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on2021, our financing activities.

On October 23, 2020, we amended and restated our CARES Act ERP Loan Agreement with the Treasury to increase the maximum facility available to be borrowed by the Company to $622 million.

We continue to explore and pursue options to raise additional financing as opportunities may arise.

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 predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain. In addition, the magnitude and duration 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 the preceding paragraphs will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements over at least the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2020,current assets exceeded our current liabilities exceeded our current assets by approximately $205.9 million. However, approximately$515.4$1,060.5 million as compared to $113.9 million as of December 31, 2020. Approximately $721.4 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.revenue.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $173.5$311.3 million and $456.9$173.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, respectively. Operating cash flows are primarily derived from providing air transportation to customers. The vast majority of tickets are purchased in advance of when travel is provided, andprovided. We sell tickets for air travel in some cases, several months beforeadvance of the anticipatedcustomer's travel date. Our operatingWe record the receipt on advance sales as deferred revenue in air traffic liability. The air traffic liability typically increases during the winter and spring months as advanced ticket sales grow prior to the summer and winter peak travel seasons and decreases upon utilization during these seasons. The impact of COVID-19 has resulted in a lower level of advanced bookings than historically experienced, which has impacted seasonal trends. Operating cash flows duringfor the nine months ended September 30, 2020 were largely impacted by the adverse impact2021 included $320.6 million in proceeds received as part of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results.PSP Extension and PSP3, which was utilized to offset eligible payroll and payroll-related costs.

Investing activities included capital expenditures, primarily related to aircraft and other equipment, the sale and leaseback of two A321-200neo aircraft, and the purchases and sales of short-term investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, capital expenditures were approximately $101.8$34.1 million, the majority of which relate to predelivery payments for our Boeing 787-9 aircraft deliveries and the purchase of our last A321neo aircraft in May 2020, as compared with $280.3$101.8 million in capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we raised $602.3 million in cash through (i) a drawdown of $235.0 million on our revolving credit facility in March 2020, (ii) $262.0 million in aircraft financing through enhanced equipment trust certificates, (iii) $60.3 million in loans from government payroll support programs. and (iv) $45.0 million in loans through the ERP. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we raised approximately $1.3 billion in cash, primarily in connection with our loyalty and intellectual property financing, PSP funding programs, and shares issued through our at-the-market offering. These inflows were offset by the repayment of debt and finance lease obligations of $405.7 million, including the pay-down of our revolving credit facility of $235.0 million and the ERP loan of $45.0 million in the first quarter of 2021. Refer to $67.9 million during the same period in 2019.Liquidity and Capital Resources section above for further discussion.

Refer to Note 1110 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.

In order to complete the purchase of these aircraft and fund related costs, we may need to secure additionalacceptable financing. We have backstop financing available from aircraft and engine manufacturers, subject to certain customary conditions. Financing may be necessary to satisfy our capital commitments for firm order aircraft and other related capital expenditures. We are also currently exploring variouscan provide no assurance that any financing alternatives,not already in place for aircraft and while we believe that such financingspare engine deliveries will be available to us there can be no assurance that financing will be available when required, or on acceptable terms when necessary 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 November 2018,Pursuant to a stock repurchase program under which our Board of Directors approved a stockauthorized the repurchase program pursuant to which we were authorized to repurchaseof up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock, over a two-year period throughwhich terminated in December 2020. The2020, we spent $7.5 million to repurchase and retire approximately 260,000 shares of our common stock repurchase program was subject to further modification or termination at any time.in open market transactions in the first quarter of 2020. In March 2020, we indefinitely suspended all repurchases under the approved repurchase plan and in connection with our receipt of federal Payroll Support Program financial assistance, under the CARES Act, which restricts us from repurchasing shares and making dividend payments until one year following repaymentSeptember 2022.

At-the-Market Offering Program

In December 2020, we entered into the Equity Distribution Agreement relating to the issuance and sale of outstanding loans under the ERP. We spent $7.5 million and $50.7 millionup to repurchase and retire approximately 0.3 million shares and 1.95.0 million shares of our common stock, in open market transactions duringpar value $0.01 per share. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.2021, we sold 2.9 million shares pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreement at an average price of $24.47 per share, with net proceeds totaling approximately $68.1 million. As of March 5, 2021, we sold all of the 5.0 million shares authorized under the Equity Distribution Agreement, at an average price of $22.46 per share, with net proceeds of approximately $109.3 million.

Credit Card Holdbacks

Under our bank-issued credit card processing agreements, 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. As of September 30, 20202021 and December 31, 2019,2020, there were no holdbacks held by our credit card processors. In the event of a material adverse change in our business, the credit card processors could increase holdbacks to an amount up to 100% of the outstanding credit card tickets that are unflown (e.g., Air traffic liability, excluding frequent flyer deferred revenue), which would result in the restriction of cash. If we were unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could have a material impact on our operations, business or financial condition.

Pension and Postemployment Benefit Plan Funding

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 20202021 and 2019,2020, we were not required to, and did not make contributions to our defined benefit and other postretirement plans. Future funding requirements for our defined benefit and other postretirement plans are dependent upon many factors such as interest rates, funded status, applicable regulatory requirements and the level and timing of asset returns. Given available funding credits in the defined benefit plan from past contributions in excess of required minimums, and the financial uncertainties of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, we do not anticipate makingcontinue to evaluate whether any cash contributions will be made to our defined benefit plan during 2020.2021.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

During the periods presented we did not have, nor do we currently have, anyAn off-balance sheet arrangement is any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement involving an unconsolidated entity under which a company has (i) made guarantees, (ii) retained a contingent interest in transferred assets, (iii) an obligation under derivative instruments classified as equity or (iv) any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the company, or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development arrangements as defined underwith the applicable rulescompany. We have no arrangements of the SEC.types described in the first three categories that we believe may have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. We do have obligations arising out of variable interests in unconsolidated entities related to certain aircraft leases. To the extent our leases and related guarantees are with a separate legal entity other than a governmental entity, we are not the primary beneficiary because the lease terms are consistent with market terms at the inception of the lease, and the lease does not include a residual value guarantee, fixed price purchase option, or similar feature.

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 Board of Directors 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 earningsfinancial results press releases.

See tabletables below for reconciliation between GAAP consolidated net income (loss) to adjusted consolidated net income (loss), including per share amounts (in thousands unless otherwise indicated)., adjusted income (loss) before income taxes, adjusted Operating Costs per Available Seat Mile (CASM), and adjusted EBITDA. The adjustments are described below:

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate included a tax benefit of $6.1 million and $29.5 million, respectively, 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.
DuringWe recognized $78.3 million and $320.6 million in contra-expense during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, and $129.1 million and $240.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $129.1 million and $240.6 million in contra-expenserespectively related to grant proceeds received from the PSP.federal Payroll Support Programs. The grant proceeds were recognized in proportion to estimated eligible wages and benefits expense over the period to which the PSP covers. We utilized all proceeds underPayroll Support Programs relate.
Loss on extinguishment of debt is excluded to allow investors to better analyze our core operational performance and more readily compare our results to other airlines in the PSP as of September 30, 2020.periods presented below.
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 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.
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.
Changes in fair value of foreign currency 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 foreign currency 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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded a gain on disposal for Boeing 767-300 aircraft equipment of $1.9 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.

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. During the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2020, we recorded a $23.5 million ratification bonus, of which $20.2 million related to service prior to January 1, 2020, and was recorded as a special item in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.
DuringIn the three months ended March 31,first quarter of 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.
DuringIn the three months ended June 30,second quarter of 2020, we recognized a charge of $34.0 million associated with the impairment of certain of our long-lived assets. Refer to Note 212 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion.
DuringIn the three months ended September 30,third quarter of 2020, we announced and completed voluntary separation programs across each of our labor groups providing for one-time severance payments, the establishment of health reimbursement accounts and other benefits. Additionally, we announced involuntary separation programs, the majority of which were effective October
47


1, 2020. We recorded $17.5 million in severance and benefits as an operating special item and $7.0 million related to special termination benefits and curtailment loss as a nonoperating special item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In May 2021, we announced the termination of our 'Ohana by Hawaiian operations, which operated under the CPA with a third-party carrier. The termination did not meet the requirements of discontinued operations under ASC 205; however, the asset group met the requirements for, and was reclassified as Held-for-Sale on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We fair valued the asset group resulting in the write-down of approximately $6.4 million. Additionally, we recorded an early termination charge associated with the CPA of approximately $2.6 million.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that adjusting earnings for interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-recurring operating expenses (such as changes in unrealized gains and losses on financial instruments) and one-time charges helps investors better analyze our financial performance by allowing for company-to-company and period-over-period comparisons that are unaffected by company-specific or one-time occurrences.

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 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 threenine months ended September 30, 2020, except as discussed below.2021. For more information on our critical accounting policies, see Part II, Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

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 first quarter of 2020, the adverse economic impact and declining passenger demand attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic drove our stock price to 52-week lows and significantly reduced future cash flow projections. We qualitatively assessed that an impairment loss may have been incurred as of March 31, 2020 and performed an interim test of the recoverability of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. We determined that the estimated fair value of our one reporting unit was less than its carrying value and that the deficit between fair value and the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded the amount of goodwill on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, leading to the recognition of a goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million in the first quarter of 2020.

Fair value was 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
51


and underlying financial information included in our determination of fair value required significant judgments 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 the Company and the industry in which we operate.

As of September 30, 2020, we had approximately $13.5 million in indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to impairment. We determined that the fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value and was not impaired.

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets, consisting principally of aircraft and other non-aircraft equipment, are classified as property and equipment, net on the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, and have a recorded value of approximately $2.1 billion at September 30, 2020. We review long-lived assets used in operations for impairment when events and circumstances indicate the assets may be impaired.

Based on our evaluation, including consideration of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and revised financial projections, we identified indicators of impairment related to our 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 our evaluation, it was determined that the net carrying values of our ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets and assets held under our commercial real estate subsidiary were not recoverable through the generation of future undiscounted cash flows as of September 30, 2020.

We estimated the fair value of our ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets using a third-party valuation, which takes into consideration market pricing information, among other factors, and resulted in a $27.5 million impairment charge. We estimated the fair value of our commercial real-estate entity using a combination of a market and income-based approach, which estimates fair value based upon projections of future revenues, expenses, and cash flows discounted to its present value, and resulted in a $3.4 million impairment charge. 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 the Company and the industry in which we operate.

ITEM 3.                QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
 
There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Part II, Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk", in our 20192020 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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, 20202021 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in reports we file under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
50


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

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, 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) that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

52


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.

BUSINESS RISKS

The global COVID-19 pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have 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. BecauseWhile we have experienced a recent increase in demand for travel to and within the severity, magnitude and durationstate of Hawai'i, we cannot predict developments in the COVID-19 pandemic and itsresponses thereto, including related to the emergence of new variants of the virus, vaccine mandates or recommendations related to travel to and within the state of Hawai`i. As such, the economic consequences of future developments are uncertain, rapidly changing and difficult to predict, thepredict. 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 and requirements related to travel, transport and our workforce); the pace, effectiveness and utilization of vaccinations, including state or federal vaccine mandates placed on travelers or our employees; 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:

Financial risks: In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced a significant decrease in demand for air travel and reduced load capacity on flights currently operated. For the three months ended September 30, 2020,2021, our revenue was $76.0$508.8 million, down $679.2up $432.9 million from the same period in 2019.2020. We cannot guarantee that we will continue to see an increase in revenue as circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic continue to develop.
53



Operations- and customer-related risks: Across our business, we are facing increasedfaced operational challenges, including lowreduced 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,the impacts on our business of vaccination mandates, workplace disruptions, need for contract modifications and cancellations, and other restrictions on business operations and the movement of people, including a 14-dayState of Hawai'i and county quarantine, requirementtesting and vaccination requirements, federal requirements for allinternational travelers, and restrictions imposed on travel by other governments. Although some of these operational challenges have lessened as demand for air travel has increased, we are unable to predict future demand, including related to the stateemergence of Hawai`i,new strains of the virus. Unpredictability in the demand for air travel as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may result in decreases to anticipated levels of demand for air travel, which was only lifted effective October 15 so long as travelers are able to present evidence of a negative COVID-19 test administered within 72 hours prior to commencing travel from a State-approved testing partner, a 14-day quarantine requirement for travelers between certain islands within the State of Hawai`i, testing requirements in order to bypass quarantine, airport health screening measures, certain measures being taken on flights to minimize transmission of COVID-19.decreases could be material. We expect decreased levels of passenger traffic and revenue, as compared to pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels, andto remain depressed, particularly with respect to international markets due to delays in resumption of international travel. We expect to incur additional costs asif we begincontinue to increase the number of flights offered as passenger traffic to the Hawaiian Islands increases, which we will incur before the anticipated additional revenue is earned. While the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations during the first quarter of 2021 may have caused an increase in response todemand for air travel, the implementationfurther uptake and effectiveness of testingvaccines, particularly in order to bypass 14-day quarantine requirements.light of emerging strains of the COVID-19 virus, remains unknown and may impact customer demand for air travel negatively. Additionally, our workforce, and that of other sectors in the travel industry may be significantly impacted by vaccination policies and requirements, which could have a negative impact on our operations. We have implemented enhanced measures to protect the health and safety of our passengers and employees and may be required or determine to take additional safety measures to minimize the transmission of COVID-19 that may further impact our operations and results of operations. Additionally, our current planning scenario for recovery from the pandemic assumes a 15-25% reduction in our anticipated flight schedule for the summer of 2021 and related reductions in headcount. During the third quarter, we announced and completed certain voluntary separation programs. Additionally, involuntary separation and voluntary leave programs, beginning effective October 1, 2020, resulted in a reduction in total headcount by approximately 32% of our total workforce. 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.

Liquidity- and funding-related risks: While we have received support under the CARES Act and have fully drawn our committed credit line, a prolonged period of lower cash from operations could adversely affect our financial condition
54


and the achievement of our strategic objectives. Additionally, our credit rating was recently downgraded by ratings agencies and there can be no assurance that we will not face additional credit rating downgrades as a result of weaker than anticipated performance of our business 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. In light of current market conditions, any such financings are likely to reflect loan-to-value ratios and interest rates and other terms and conditions less favorable than our recent aircraft financings.

Legal and regulatory risks: While we are endeavoring to take all reasonable precautions and institutinghave instituted numerous health and safety measures to protect our guests and our employees, there can be no assurance that guests will not be exposed to COVID-19 while traveling, or that our employees will not be exposed to COVID-19 while working. Should such exposure be determined to have been caused while traveling or working, notwithstanding the steps we take to protect our guests and employees, we may be subject to civil lawsuits or employee grievances that give rise to legal liability. We also receive requests for, and provide, workplace reasonable accommodation, including with respect to our employee vaccination requirements, pursuant to federal and state law. While we carry employment practices liability insurance, we may become subject to claims related to such reasonable accommodation requests, which may result in litigation. Furthermore, while the airline industry is committed to the safety of our guests and employees and has taken and will continue to take all necessary precautions, there can be no assurance that federal legislation or federal regulation will not be enacted that increase our costs, or increaseour ongoing compliance burdens, and our exposure to claims of non-compliance. For example, federal employees and federal contractors like us and our subcontractors are now subject to federal vaccination requirements. If sufficient numbers of our employees or federal employees supporting our operations do not get vaccinated or qualify for accommodation, or otherwise fail to comply with applicable health and safety measures, our operations and results of operations may be materially adversely affected.

At this time, we are also not able to predict whether the COVID-19 pandemic will result in permanent changes to our customers’ behavior, with such changes including but not limited to such changes as a lasting or permanent reduction in leisure travel and more broadly a general reluctance to travel by consumers, each of which could have a material impact on our business. Currently,To date, the COVID-19 pandemic has produced the following trends, each possibly having an effect on future operations:

Travelers have indicated they are wary of airports and commercial aircraft, where they may view the risk of contagion as increased; and

Travelers may be dissuaded from flying due to restrictions on movement and possible enhanced COVID-19-related screening measures which have been or may be implemented across multiple markets we serve.

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. The COVID-19 pandemic may also exacerbate other risks described in this “Risk Factors” section, including, but not limited to, our dependence on Hawaiian leisure travel to Hawai'i, our competitiveness, demand for air travel generally and our services specifically, shifting consumer preferences and our substantial outstanding indebtedness.

ECONOMIC RISKS

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

54


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. DemandOur business depends on the demand for discretionary air travel and vacations to, from and within the Hawaiian Islands and such demand for discretionary air travel 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 or recommendations or vaccine mandates, 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. There can be no assurance that we will be able to offset such revenue reductions by reducing our costs or seeking additional federal payroll support relief through the CARES Act or other potential financing arrangements or other programs or opportunities.opportunities, or that we will have sufficient cash flows to support our debt obligations.

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`iHawai'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. In March 2020, theThe State of Hawai`i implemented a 14-dayHawai'i continues to impose quarantine, applicable to passengers traveling to Hawai`itesting and vaccination requirements, federal requirements and foreign governments restrictions remain in effect for international travelers. There can be no assurance whether, at some point, the state of Hawai'i may limit or betweensuspend the Hawaiian Islands. While restrictions to travel betweenSafe Travels Program or vaccination exemptions from pre-travel testing and quarantine requirements, or whether federal quarantine requirements could be modified or expanded should the Hawaiian Islands were removed in June 2020, a modified reinstatementprevalence of the 14-day quarantine requirement for Neighbor Island travel became effective August 11, 2020,
55


restrictions on travel to Hawai`i were extended until at least through the end of November 2020. Effective October 15, 2020, passengers travelling to Hawai`i from the U.S. mainland who can demonstrate that they have obtained a negative test for COVID-19 from a state-approved testing partner, within 72 hours from the final leg of departure are exempt from the State's 14-day quarantine requirement. A county may, however, require passengers to obtain a subsequent test after arrival into the State (with any such tests paid for by the county and administered at a country-designated site).pandemic worsen. While travel restrictions have eased somewhat with the use of COVID-19 testing and the rollout of COVID-19 vaccinations, certain restrictions, including with respect to the use of COVID-19 testing and vaccination exemptions, may be reinstated, or altered, or the state of Hawai`i may recommend that visitors avoid air travel to Hawai`i, as the infection rates of COVID-19 change, which may have a significant impact on our business operations. Furthermore, statements by public officials urging residents and travelers to reduce or limit travel to Hawai`i or other markets to which we fly could have a significant impact on tourism and our business operations. Additionally, even with the lifting of certain restrictions associated with travel to and between the Hawaiian Islands, we expect to continue to experience decreaseddepressed levels of passenger traffic and revenue, as compared to pre-COVID 19pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels.levels, particularly with respect to international markets due to delays in resumption of international travel. We will need to incur costs as we begin to increase our number of flights as passenger traffic to and within the Hawaiian Islands increases, in response towhich we will incur before the implementation of pre-travel testing in order to bypass quarantine requirements.anticipated additional revenue is earned.

Hawai`iHawai'i tourism levels are generally affected by the economic and political climate impacting air travel and tourism markets generally, including the availability of hotel accommodations, the popularity of tourist destinations 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, there has been a significant decline in air travel due to government mandates and general public health concerns. Additionally, tourism has declined as various public events, attractions and venues have been closed or cancelled. While we have seen some increased tourism activity in the Statestate of Hawai`i after implementation of the State of Hawai`i's pre-travel COVID-19 testing program,Hawai'i, we cannot predict if and when tourism levels will recover to levels prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, from time to time, various events and industry-specific problems such as labor strikes have had a negative impact on tourism generally or in Hawai`iHawai'i specifically. The occurrence of natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and tsunamis, in Hawai`iHawai'i or other parts of the world, could also have an adverse effect or compound the existing adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on 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 tourism.

Our business is highly dependent on the price and availability of fuel.

Our results and operations are heavily impacted by the price and availability of jet fuel. The cost and availability of jet fuel remains volatile and is subject to political, economic, and market factors that are generally outside of our control. Prices may be affected by many factors including, without limitation, the impact of political instability, crude oil production and refining capacity, unexpected changes in the availability of petroleum products due to disruptions to distribution systems or refineries, unpredicted increases in demand due to weather or the pace of global economic growth, inventory reserve levels of crude oil and other petroleum products, the relative fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies, and the actions of speculators in commodity markets. The cost of jet fuel has been especially volatile recently due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for oil. Because of the effects of these factors on the price and availability of jet fuel, the cost and future availability of fuel cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Also, due to the competitive nature of the airline industry, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase our fares or other fees to sufficiently offset any increase in fuel prices.

55


While, we may enter into derivative agreements to protect against the volatility of fuel costs, uncertainty relatedthere is no assurance that such agreements will protect us during unfavorable market conditions or that counterparties will be able to the demand for air travel makes it difficult to accurately forecast our future fuel consumption, and as a result, we are unable to predict the effectiveness of hedging as a means of managing increases in the cost of fuel in the future.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, 20192020 for further information regarding our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates.the price of fuel.

Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, our business had 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 intoAs of September 30, 2021, we had Japanese Yen denominated debt agreements totaling $227.9 million and $86.5 million in 2019 and 2018, respectively.$231.4 million. If our business is able to expand internationally, there is no assurance that these 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.

56


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, 20192020 for further information regarding our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates.

LIQUIDITY RISKS

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 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.

Our current unencumbered aircraft can be financed to increase our liquidity, but such financings may be subject to unfavorable terms. In light of current market conditions, any such financings are likely to reflect loan-to-value ratios and interest rates and other terms and conditions less favorable than our recent aircraft financings.

Additionally, our credit rating was recently downgraded by ratings agencies and there can be no assurance that we will not face additional credit rating downgrades as a result of weaker than anticipated performance of our business or other factors. Future downgrades could further adversely affect our cost of funds and related margins, liquidity, competitive position and access to capital markets.

We can offer no assurance that financing we may need in the future 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 September 30, 2020,2021, we had approximately $1.0$1.9 billion in outstanding commercial debt, excluding funds borrowed under the CARES Act PSP and ERP.the CAA 2021. 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
56


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 corporate 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 other 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, the CAA 2021 and the ARP 2021 that have certain operating and other restrictions.

As a condition of receiving grants and loans under the PSP under the CARES Act,PSP3 Agreement, we agreed to, among other things: refrain from conducting involuntary furloughs or reducing employee rates of pay or benefits through the later of September 30, 2020;2021 or the date on which we have expended all PSP funds; limit executive compensation through March 24, 2022;April 2023; suspend payment of dividends and stock repurchases through September 30,
57


2021; 2022; and comply with certain reporting requirements. We are also 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 and subject to exemptions granted to us by the DOT given the absence of demand for such services.

Under the Loan Agreement with the Treasury pursuant to the ERP, we agreed to, among other things, limit our ability to: pay dividends, repurchase common stock or make certain other payments; make certain investments; incur liens on the Collateral; dispose of the Collateral; enter into certain affiliate transactions; and engage in certain business activities, in each case subject to certain exceptions. We must also maintain a certain minimum aggregate liquidity amount.

Additionally, the Loan Agreement requires us to comply with the relevant provisions of the CARES Act, including, among other things: prohibiting the repurchase of common stock, prohibiting the payment of common stock dividends and restricting the payment of certain executive compensation, in each case, through the date that is 12 months after the date on which all outstanding loans under the Facility have been repaid in full; prohibiting the reduction of employment levels by more than ten percent (10)% until September 30, 2020; and compliance with applicable requirements regarding maintenance of certain scheduled air transportation service until March 1, 2022.

The restrictions placed on us as part of our participation in the PSP and ERP under the CARES Act,subsequent extensions thereof, including restrictions on use of funds, staffing, pay reduction, stock buy-backs, dividends, certain transactions, and service requirements may negatively affect our financial and business operations.

We are required to maintain reserves under our credit card processing agreements which could adversely affect our financial and business operations.

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. As of September 30, 2020,2021, there were no holdbacks held by our credit card processors.

In the event of a material adverse change in our business, the holdback could incrementally increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card activity for all unflown flights, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If we are unable to obtain a waiver, or otherwise mitigate the increase in restricted cash, it could adversely affect our liquidity and also cause a covenant violation under other debt or lease obligations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

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 competitiveaggressive prices could negatively impact our operating results.results, including as demand for air travel rebuilds as COVID-19 infection rates decline. Most of our competitors 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. Additionally, our competitors have been and may continue to be more successful in navigating the challenges related to COVID-19, including having easier access to additional capital and more favorable lending terms, which could impact our ability to compete successfully in the future. Since airline markets have few natural barriers to entry, we also face the constant threat of new entrants in all of our markets.

57


Additional capacity to or within Hawai`i,Hawai'i, whether from network carriers or low-cost carriers, 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`Hawai'i, and between Hawai`Hawai'i and the U.S. mainland, provides little diversification of our revenue and could be exacerbated by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020,2021, approximately 75.3%94.9% of our passenger revenue was generated from our Domestic routes. Most of our competitors, particularly major network carriers with whom we compete on North American routes, enjoy greater geographical diversification of their passenger revenue. As Domestic routes account for a significantly higher proportion of our revenue than they do for most of our competitors, a proportionately higher decline in demand for our
58


domestic routes generally due to the COVID-19 pandemic is likely to have a relatively greater adverse effect on our financial results than on those of our competitors. Additionally, reductions in the level of demand for travel to, from, and within Hawai`i,Hawai'i, such as those caused by government restrictions on travel to and business operations within Hawai`i, including the only recently modified 14-day quarantine in place for travelers within and to Hawai`i, hasHawai'i, have reduced the revenue we are able to generate from our routes and adversely affected our financial results. Sustained reduction in our Domestic routes and continued industry capacity of major network carriers on routes to, from and within Hawai`iHawai'i is likely to continue to adversely affect our financial results.

Our business is affected by the competitive advantages held by network carriers in the North America market.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020,2021, approximately 53.8%78.9% of our passenger revenue was generated from our North America routes. The majority of competition on our North America routes is from network carriers such as Alaska Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines, all of whom have a number of competitive advantages. Primarily, network carriers generate passenger traffic from and throughout the U.S. mainland, which enables them to attract higher customer traffic levels as compared to us.

In contrast, we lack a comparable direct network to feed passengers to our North America flights and are therefore more reliant on passenger demand in the specific cities we serve. We also rely on our code-share partner agreements (e.g. with JetBlue) to provide customers access to and from North American destinations currently unserved by us. Most network carriers operate from hubs, which can provide a built-in market of passengers depending on the economic strength of the hub city and the size of the customer group that frequents the airline. Our Honolulu and Maui hubs do not originate a large proportion of North American travel, nor do they have the population or potential customer franchise of a larger city to provide us with a significant built-in market. Passengers in the North American market, for the most part, do not originate in Honolulu, but on the U.S. mainland, making Honolulu primarily a destination rather than an origin of passenger traffic.

Our Neighbor Island routes are affected by increased capacity provided by our competitors.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020,2021, approximately 21.5%16.0% of our passenger revenue was generated from our Neighbor Island routes. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain of our competitors increased capacity to and within Hawai`iHawai'i by introducing new routes and increasing the frequency of existing routes from North America to Hawai`iHawai'i and by the introduction of additional flights within the neighbor islands. We are unable to predict competitor capacity related to air travel to Hawai`iHawai'i or between the neighbor islands, including any impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on such capacity. Any increased competitor capacity that decreases our share of traffic to Hawai`iHawai'i or between the neighbor islands could ultimately have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our International routes are affected by competition from domestic and foreign carriers.

During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020,2021, approximately 24.7%5.1% of our passenger revenue was generated from our International routes. When our operations are not constrained by restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic, our competitors on these routes include both domestic and foreign carriers. Both domestic and foreign competitors have a number of competitive advantages that may enable them to attract higher customer traffic levels as compared to us.

Many of our domestic competitors are members of airline alliances, which provide customers access to each participating airline’s international network, allowing for convenience and connectivity to their destinations. These alliances formed by our domestic competitors have increased in recent years. In some instances, our domestic competitors have been granted antitrust exemptions to form joint venture arrangements in certain geographies, further deepening their cooperation on certain routes. To mitigate this risk, we rely on code-share agreements with partner airlines to provide customers access to international destinations currently unserved by us.
58



Many of our foreign competitors are network carriers that benefit from network feed to support international routes on which we compete. In contrast, we lack a comparable direct network to feed passengers to our international flights, and are therefore more reliant on passenger demand in the specific destinations that we serve. Most network carriers operate from hubs, which can provide a built-in home base market of passengers. Passengers on our International routes, for the most part, do not originate in Hawai`i,Hawai'i, but rather internationally, in these foreign carriers’ home bases. We also rely on our code-share agreements and our relationships with travel agencies and wholesale distributors to provide customers access to and from International destinations currently unserved by us.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THIRD-PARTY RISKS

If we do not maintain the privacy and security of personal information or other information relating to our customers or others, or fail to comply with applicable U.S. and foreign privacy, data protection, or data security laws or security standards imposed by our commercial partners, our reputation could be damaged, we could incur substantial additional costs, and we could become subject to litigation or regulatory penalties.

We receive, retain, transmit and otherwise process personal information and other information about our customers and other individuals, including our employees and contractors, and we are subject to increasing legislative, regulatory and customer focus on privacy, data protection, and data security both domestically and internationally. Numerous laws and regulations in the U.S. and in various other jurisdictions in which we operate relate to privacy, data protection, and security, including laws and regulations regarding the collection, processing, storage, sharing, disclosure, use and security of personal information and other data from and about our customers and other individuals. The scope of these laws and regulations is changing, subject to differing interpretations, may be costly to comply with, and may be inconsistent among countries and jurisdictions or conflict with other obligations of ours.

A number of our commercial partners, including creditpayment card companies, have imposed data security standards or other obligations relating to privacy, data protection, or data security upon us. We strive to comply with applicable laws, regulations, policies, and contractual and other legal obligations relating to privacy, data protection, and data security. However, these legal, contractual, and other obligations may be interpreted and applied in new ways and/or in manners that are inconsistent, and may conflict with other rules or practices. Data privacy, data protection, and data security are active areas, with laws and regulations in these areas being frequently proposed, enacted, and amended, and existing laws and regulations subject to differing and evolving interpretations. New laws and regulations in these areas likely will continue to be enacted.

Any failure or perceived failure by us to comply with laws or regulations, our privacy or data protection policies, or other privacy-, data protection-, or information security-related obligations to customers, or other third parties, or any compromise of security that results in the unauthorized disclosure, transfer or use of personal or other information, may result in governmental investigations and enforcement actions, governmental or private litigation, other liability, our loss of the ability to process creditpayment card transactions, or us becoming subject to higher costs for such transactions, or public statements critical of us by consumer advocacy groups, competitors, the media or others that could cause our current or prospective customers to lose trust in us, any of which could have an adverse effect on our business. Additionally, if third-party business partners that we work with, such as vendors, violate applicable laws, applicable policies or other privacy-, data protection-, or security-related obligations, such violations may also put our customers’ or others’ information at risk and could in turn have an adverse effect on our business. Governmental agencies may also request or take customer data for national security or informational purposes, and also can make data requests in connection with criminal or civil investigations or other matters, which could harm our reputation and our business.

We will continue our efforts to comply with new and increasing privacy, data protection, and information security obligations; however, it is possible that such obligations may require us to expend additional resources, and may be difficult or impossible for us to meet. Any failure to comply with applicable U.S. or foreign privacy, data protection, or data security laws or regulations, any privacy or security standards imposed by our commercial partners, or any other obligations we are or may become subject to relating to privacy, data protection, or information security, or any allegation or assertion relating to any of the foregoing may result in claims, regulatory investigations and proceedings, private litigation and proceedings, and other liability, all of which may adversely affect our reputation, business, results of operations and financial condition.

Our actual or perceived failure to protect customer information or other personal information or confidential information could result in harm to our business.

Our business and operations involve the storage, transmission and processing of information about our customers, our employees and contractors, our business partners, and others, as well as our own confidential information. We may become the target of cyber-attacks by third parties seeking unauthorized access to any of these types of information or to disrupt our business or operations. Computer malware, viruses, fraudulent sales of frequent flier miles, and general hacking have become more prevalent in our industry. While we have taken steps to protect customer information and other confidential information thatto which we have access, to, there can be no assurance that any security measures that we or our third-party service providers have implemented will be effective against current or future security threats. We and our third-party service providers may be unable to anticipate attempted security breaches and to implement adequate preventative measures, and our security measures or those of our third-party service providers could be breached, we could suffer data loss, unauthorized access to or use of the systems or networks used in our business and operations, and unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful access to, or disclosure, modification,
60


misuse, loss or destruction of, our or our customers’ information. We may also experience security breaches or other incidents
60


that may remain undetected for an extended period. Further, third parties may also conduct attacks designed to disrupt or deny access to the systems and networks used in our business and operations.

Actual or perceived security breaches or other security incidents could result in unauthorized use of or access to systems and networks, unauthorized, accidental, or unlawful access to, or disclosure, modification, misuse, loss or destruction of, our or our customers’ information, and may lead to litigation, claims, indemnity obligations, regulatory investigations and other proceedings, severe reputational damage adversely affecting customer or investor confidence and causing damage to our brand, indemnity obligations, disruption to our operations, damages for contract breach, and other liability, and may adversely affect our revenues and operating results. Additionally, our service providers may suffer security breaches or other incidents that may result in unauthorized access or otherwise compromise data stored or processed for us that may give rise to any of the foregoing.

Any such actual or perceived security breach or other incident may lead to the expenditure of significant financial and other resources in efforts to investigate or correct a breach, address and eliminate vulnerabilities, and to prevent future security breaches or incidents, as well as significant costs for remediation that may include liability for stolen assets or information and repair of system damage that may have been caused, incentives offered to customers or other business partners in an effort to maintain business relationships after a breach, costs in connection with payment card replacement, and other liabilities. Certain breaches affecting payment card information or the environment in which such information is processed may also result in a loss of our ability to process credit cards or increased costs associated with doing so. We have incurred and expect to incur ongoing expenditures in an effort to prevent information security breaches and other security incidents.

We cannot be certain that our insurance coverage will be adequate for information security liabilities actually incurred or to cover any indemnification claims against us relating to any incident, that insurance will continue to be available to us on economically reasonable terms, or at all, or that any insurer will not deny coverage as to any future claim. The successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceed available insurance coverage, or the occurrence of changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have a material adverse effect on our business, including our financial condition, operating results, and reputation.

We are increasingly dependent on technology and automated systems to operate our business.

We depend heavily on technology and automated systems to effectively operate our business. These systems include flight operations systems, communications systems, airport systems, reservations systems, management and accounting systems, commercial websites, including www.hawaiianairlines.com, and other IT systems, many of which must be able to accommodate high traffic volumes, maintain secure information and provide accurate flight information, as well as process critical financial transactions. Any substantial, extended, or repeated failures of these systems could negatively affect our customer service, compromise the security of customer information or other information stored on, transmitted by, or otherwise processed by these systems, result in the loss of or damage to important data, loss of revenue and increased costs, and generally harm our business. Additionally, loss of key talent required to maintain and advance these systems could have a material impact on our operations. Like other companies, our systems may be vulnerable to disruptions due to events beyond our control, including natural disasters, power disruptions, software or equipment failures, terrorist attacks, cybersecurity incursions, computer viruses and hackers. There can be no assurance that the measures we have taken to reduce the adverse effects of certain potential failures or disruptions are adequate to prevent or remedy disruptions of our systems.systems or prevent or mitigate all attacks. In addition, we will need to continuously make significant investments in technology to periodically upgrade and replace existing systems. If we are unable to make these investments or fail to successfully implement, upgrade or replace our systems, our business could be adversely impacted. We do not carry business interruption insurance sufficient to compensate us for the potentially significant losses, including the potential harm to our business, results of operations and financial condition that may result from system interruptions or system failures.

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`iHawai'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.

61


The failure of any of our third-party service providers to adequately perform their service obligations, or other interruptions of services, including those related to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on their businesses, are likely to reduce our revenues,
61


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 Association of Flight Attendants, 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 account contribution to eligible flights attendants upon retirement.

Our operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel and key executives.

We believe that our future success is dependent on the knowledge and expertise of our key executives and highly qualified management, technical, and other personnel. Attracting and retaining such personnel in the airline industry is highly competitive. We cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our key executives or attract other qualified personnel in the future, including in light of the restrictions on executive compensation imposed on us under the CARES Act.PSP and subsequent extensions thereof. Any inability to retain our key executives, or other senior technical personnel, or attract and retain additional qualified executives, could have a negative impact on our operations.

In addition, as we rebuild our operations as passenger demand recovers, and expand our operations through the acquisition of new aircraft and introduction of service to new markets, it may be challenging to attract a sufficient number of qualified personnel including pilots, mechanics and other skilled labor. As we compete with other carriers for qualified personnel, we also face the challenge of attracting individuals who embrace our team-oriented, friendly and customer-driven corporate culture. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel who embrace our corporate culture could have a negative impact on our reputation and overall operations.

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 and safety protocols we have taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic that reduce our maximum load capacity,If we are not likely to be ableunable to utilize and fill current capacity or any additionalincreased 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. Asincluding as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unlikelymay be unable to be able to meaningfullysuccessfully develop and grow our new and existing markets, in the near term, which may adversely affect our business and operations foroperations.

We continue to strive toward aggressive cost-containment goals which are an indeterminant time period. In addition, ifimportant 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.

62


Any damage to our reputation or brand image could adversely affect our business or financial results.

Maintaining a good reputation globally is critical to our business. Our reputation or brand image could be adversely impacted by, among other things, any failure to maintain our safety record, our high ethical, social and environmental sustainability practices for all of our operations and activities, our impact on the environment, public pressure from investors or policy groups to change our policies, such as movements to institute a “living wage,” customer perceptions of our advertising campaigns, sponsorship arrangements or marketing programs, customer perceptions of our use of social media, or customer perceptions of statements made by us, our employees and executives, agents or other third parties. Damage to our reputation or brand image or loss of customer confidence in our services could adversely affect our business and financial results, as well as require additional resources to rebuild our reputation.

Moreover, the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 have adversely impacted consumer perceptions of the health and safety of travel, and in particular airline travel, and these negative perceptions could continue even after the COVID-19 pandemic subsides. Actual or perceived risk of infection while traveling could have a material adverse effect on the public’s perception of us, which could harm our reputation and business. We have taken various measures to reassure our team members and the traveling public of the safety of air travel, including those related to State of Hawai'i and county quarantine and testing requirements, and other measures, such as airport health screening measures, requiring that passengers wear face coverings, the provision of protective equipment for team members and enhanced cleaning procedures onboard aircraft and in airports. We expect that we will continue to incur costs related to the COVID-19 pandemic as we sanitize aircraft, implement additional hygiene-related protocols and take other actions to limit the threat of infection among our employees and passengers. However, we cannot assure that these or any other actions we might take in response to the COVID-19 pandemic will be sufficient to restore the confidence of consumers in the safety of air travel.

Our reputation and financial results could be harmed in the event of adverse publicity, including the event of an aircraft accident or incident.

Our customer base is broad and our business activities have significant prominence, particularly in Hawai`iHawai'i and other destinations we serve. Consequently, negative publicity resulting from real or perceived shortcomings in our customer service, employee relations, business conduct, third-party aircraft components or other events or circumstances affecting our operations
62


could negatively affect the public image of our company and the willingness of customers to purchase services from us, which could affect our financial results.

Additionally, we are exposed to potential losses that may be incurred in the event of an aircraft accident or incident. Any such accident or incident involving our aircraft or an aircraft operated by one of our code-share partners could involve not only the repair or replacement of a damaged aircraft or aircraft parts, and its consequential temporary or permanent loss of revenue, but also significant claims of injured passengers and others. We are required by the DOT to carry liability insurance, and although we currently maintain liability insurance in amounts consistent with the industry, we cannot be assured that our insurance coverage will adequately cover us from all claims and we may be forced to bear substantial losses incurred with an accident. In addition, any aircraft accident or incident could cause a public perception that we are less safe or reliable than other airlines, which would harm our business.

Airline Industry, Regulation and Related Costs RisksAIRLINE 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:

a decline in general economic conditions;conditions
the threat of terrorist attacks and conflicts overseas;overseas
actual or threatened war and political instability;instability
the need for increased security measures or breaches in security;security
adverse weather and natural disasters;disasters
63


changes in consumer preferences, perceptions, or spending patterns;patterns
increased costs related to security and safety measures
decreased passenger load capacity as a result of the blocking of seats on aircraft as part of our safety protocols undertaken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic;
increased fares as a result of increases in fuel costs;costs
outbreaks of contagious diseases or fear of contagion; andcontagion
congestion or major construction at airports and actual or potential disruptions in the air traffic control system.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 of the COVID-19 pandemic or any unexpected events, including those identified above.

Our financial results and operations may be negatively affected by the State of Hawai`i’s airport modernization plan.

The State of Hawai`i has begun to implement a modernization plan encompassing the airports we serve within the State. Our landing fees and airport rent rates have increased to fund the modernization program. Additionally, we expect the costs for our Neighbor Island operations to increase more than the costs related to our North America and International operations due to phased adjustments of the airports’ funding mechanism. Consequently, costs related to the modernization program will have a greater impact on our operations as compared to our competitors, most of whom do not have significant Neighbor Island operations. We can offer no assurance that we will be successful in offsetting these cost increases through other cost reductions or increases in our revenue and, therefore, can offer no assurance that our future financial results will not be negatively affected by them.

Our operations may be disrupted if we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure at airports within the Statestate of Hawai`Hawai'i.

We must be able to maintain and/or obtain adequate gates, maintenance capacity, office space, operations areas, and ticketing facilities at the airports within the Statestate of Hawai`iHawai'i to be able to operate our existing and proposed flight schedules. Failure to maintain such facilities and infrastructure may adversely impact our operations and financial performance.
63



Our business is subject to substantial seasonal and cyclical volatility.

Our results of operations reflect the impact of seasonal volatility primarily due to passenger leisure and holiday travel patterns. Moreover, due to the widespread impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the demand for air travel generally and travel to and within Hawai`iHawai'i specifically, we have seen a significant decline in demand for air travel in 2020 and 2021 as compared to prior years. As Hawai`iHawai'i is a popular vacation destination, demand from North America, our largest source of visitors, is typically stronger during June, July, August and December and considerably weaker at other times of the year. Because of fluctuations in our results from seasonality, operating results for a historical period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a future period and operating results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.

Terrorist attacks or international hostilities, or the fear of terrorist attacks or hostilities, even if not made directly on the airline industry, could negatively affect us and the airline industry.

Terrorist attacks, even if not made directly on the airline industry, or the fear of such attacks, hostilities or act of war, could adversely affect the airline industry, including us, and could result in a significant decrease in demand for air travel, increased security costs, increased insurance costs covering war-related risks, and increased flight operational loss due to cancellations and delays. Any future terrorist attacks or the implementation of additional security-related fees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and on the airline industry in general.

The airline industry is subject to extensive government regulation, new regulations, and taxes which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

Airlines are subject to extensive regulatory requirements that result in significant costs. New, and modifications to existing, laws, regulations, taxes and airport rates, and charges imposed by domestic and foreign governments have been proposed from time to time that could significantly increase the cost of airline operations, restrict operations or reduce revenue. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) from time to time issues directives and other regulations relating to the maintenance and operation of aircraft that require significant expenditures. Some FAA requirements cover, among other things, retirement of older aircraft, security measures, collision avoidance systems, airborne windshear avoidance systems, noise abatement and other environmental concerns, commuter aircraft safety and increased inspections, and maintenance procedures to be conducted on older aircraft. A failure to be in compliance, or a modification, suspension or revocation of any of our DOT/FAA authorizations or certificates, wouldcould have a material adverse impact on our operations.

We cannot predict the impact that laws or regulations may have on our operations, nor can we ensure that laws or regulations enacted in the future will not adversely affect our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain necessary governmental approvals. Once obtained, operating permits are subject to modification and revocation by the issuing agencies. Compliance with these and any future regulatory requirements could require us to incur significant capital and operating expenditures.

In addition to extensive government regulations, the airline industry is dependent on certain services provided by government agencies (DOT, FAA, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA)). Furthermore, because of significantly higher security and other costs incurred by airports since September 11, 2001, many airports have significantly increased their rates and charges to airlines, including us, and may continue to do so in the future.
64



We are subject to risks associated with climate change, including increased regulation of our CO2 emissions and the potential increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure.

There is increasing global regulatory focus on climate change and emissions of greenhouse gases, including CO2. In particular, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is in the process of adopting rules, including the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA), of which the U.S. federal government has opted to participate in the voluntary phases from 2021-2026. As part of the CORSIA program, we are currently monitoring our international emissions for reporting purposes, and such data will be used in calculations to determine subsequent carbon offsetting requirements under the CORSIA program. Regardless of the method of regulation or application of CORSIA, further policy changes with regard to climate change are possible, which could increase operating costs in the airline industry and, as a result, adversely affect our operations.

In the event that CORSIA does not come into force as expected, we and other airlines could become subject to an unpredictable and inconsistent array of national or regional emissions restrictions, creating a patchwork of complex regulatory requirements that may affect global competitors differently. Concerns over climate change may result in the adoption of municipal, state, regional, and federal requirements or in changing business environments that may result in increased costs to the airline industry and us. In addition, several countries and U.S. states have adopted or are considering adopting programs to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. On January 20, 2021, the United States rejoined the Paris Climate Accord. Further, the current Presidential administration has made climate change mitigation an important policy priority, and may adopt additional regulatory changes that could impact the airline industry and our business. Certain airports have adopted, and others could in the future adopt, greenhouse gas emission or climate-neutral goals that could impact our operations or require us to make changes or additional investments in our infrastructure.

All such climate change-related regulatory activity and developments may adversely affect our business and financial results by requiring us to reduce our emissions, make capital investments to modernize aspects of our operations, purchase carbon offset credits, or otherwise pay for our emissions. Such activity may also impact us indirectly by increasing our operating costs, including fuel costs. We may not be able to increase revenue in proportion with such additional costs.

We could also incur significant costs to improve the climate resiliency of our infrastructure and otherwise prepare for, respond to, and mitigate such physical effects of climate change. We are not able to accurately predict the materiality of any potential losses or costs associated with the physical effects of climate change.

Federal budget constraints or federally imposed furloughs due to budget negotiation deadlocks may adversely affect our industry, business, results of operations and financial position.

Many of our airline operations are regulated by governmental agencies, including the FAA, the DOT, the CBP, the TSA, and others. If the federal government operations were to experience issues in reaching budgetary consensus in the future resulting in mandatory furloughs and/or other budget constraints, or if a government shutdown were to continue for an extended period of time, our business and results of operations could be materially negatively impacted. The travel behaviorsimpacted, including as a result of actual or potential disruption in the flying public could also be affected,air traffic control system, actual or perceived delays at various airports, and delays in deliveries of new aircraft, which may materially adversely impact our industry, our business, results of operations and our business.financial positions.

The airline industry is required to comply with various environmental laws and regulations, which could inhibit our ability to operate and could also have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Many aspects of airlines’ operations are subject to increasingly stringent federal, state, local, and foreign laws protecting the environment. U.S. federal laws that have a particular impact on us include the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the
64


Comprehensive Environmental Response Act and the Compensation and Liability Act. Compliance with these and other environmental laws and regulations can require significant expenditures, and violations can lead to significant fines and penalties. Governments globally are increasingly focusing on the environmental impact caused by the consumption of fossil fuels and as a result have proposed or enacted legislation which may increase the cost of providing airline service or restrict its provision. We expect the focus on environmental matters to increase.

Concern about climate change and greenhouse gases may result in additional regulation of aircraft emissions in the U.S. and abroad. In addition, other legislative or regulatory action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions is possible. At this time, we cannot predict whether any such legislation or regulation would apportion costs between one or more jurisdictions in which we operate flights. We are monitoring and evaluating the potential impact of such legislative and regulatory developments.

In addition to direct costs, such regulation may have a greater effect on the airline industry through increases in fuel costs. The
65


impact to us and our industry from such actions is likely to be adverse and could be significant, particularly if regulators were to conclude that emissions from commercial aircraft cause significant harm to the atmosphere or have a greater impact on climate change than other industries.

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 have imposed or 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 ourselves 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.

We may be party to litigation or regulatory action in the normal course of business or otherwise, which could have an adverse effect on our operations and financial results.

From time to time, we are a party to or otherwise involved in legal or regulatory proceedings, claims, government inspections, investigations or other legal matters, both domestically and in foreign jurisdictions, including proceedings related to the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, due to cancelled or rescheduled flights in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, several U.S. airlines, including us, have been subject to class action complaints citing violation of state consumer statutes for allegedly failing or refusing to refund passenger tickets on cancelled flights. We believe we have meritorious defenses and intend to vigorously contest the claims.jurisdictions. Resolving or defending legal matters, however, can take months or years. The duration of such matters can be unpredictable with many variables that we do not control including adverse party or government responses. Litigation and regulatory proceedings are subject to significant uncertainty and may be expensive, time-consuming and disruptive to our operations. In addition, an adverse resolution of a lawsuit, regulatory matter, investigation or other proceeding could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. We may be required to change or restrict our operations or be subject to injunctive relief, significant compensatory damages, punitive damages, penalties, fines or disgorgement of profits, none of which may be covered by insurance. We may have to pay out settlements that also may not be covered by insurance. There can be no assurance that any of these payments or actions will not be material. In addition, publicity of ongoing legal and regulatory matters may adversely affect our reputation.

Changes in tax laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial conditions.

The rules dealing with U.S. federal, state and local income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the Internal Revenue Service, the Treasury and state and local tax authorities. Changes in U.S. tax laws or their interpretations (which may have retroactive application) could materially increase the amount of taxes we owe, thereby negatively impacting our results of operations as well as our cash flows from operations. Furthermore, our implementation of new practices and processes designed to comply with changing tax laws and regulations could require us to make substantial changes to our business practices, allocate additional resources, and increase our costs, potentially adversely impacting our business, financial position and results of operations.

As we continue to grow internationally, we may also be subject to taxation in jurisdictions around the world with increasingly complex tax laws, the application of which may be uncertain. The amount of taxes we pay in these jurisdictions could increase substantially as a result of changes in the applicable tax principles, including increased tax rates, new tax laws or revised interpretations of existing tax laws and precedents, potentially adversely affecting our liquidity and results of operations. In addition, the authorities in these jurisdictions could review our tax returns and impose additional tax, interest and penalties, and the relevant authorities could claim that various withholding requirements apply to us or assert that benefits of tax treaties are not available to us or our subsidiaries, any of which could adversely impact us and our results of operations.

Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.

As of December 31, 2020, we had NOLs available to reduce future taxable income of approximately $40.4 million for regular federal income tax purposes that have indefinite carryover and approximately $424.9 million for state income tax purposes that
66


will expire, if unused, beginning in 2024. The majority of our state NOLs relate to the state of Hawai'i, most of which have indefinite carryover, but are limited to 80% utilization.

Our ability to use our NOLs will depend on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods. If our financial results continue to be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurance that an increase in the valuation allowance on our net deferred tax assets will not be required in the future. Such valuation allowance could be material. Additionally, due to the COVID-19 pandemic and other economic factors, the NOLs may expire before we can generate sufficient taxable income to use them.

Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change,” the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change NOLs to offset its post-change income may be limited. In general, an “ownership change” will occur if there is a cumulative change in our ownership by “5-percent shareholders” that exceeds 50 percentage points over a rolling three-year period. Similar rules may apply under state tax laws. Our ability to use NOLs to reduce future taxable income and liabilities may be subject to annual limitations as a result of prior ownership changes and ownership changes that may occur in the future.

Our insurance costs are susceptible to significant increases, and further increases in insurance costs or reductions in coverage could have an adverse effect on our financial results.

We carry types and amounts of insurance customary in the airline industry, including coverage for general liability, passenger liability, property damage, aircraft loss or damage, baggage and cargo liability, and workers’ compensation. We are required by the DOT to carry liability insurance on each of our aircraft. We currently maintain commercial airline insurance with a major group of independent insurers that regularly participate in world aviation insurance markets, including public liability insurance and coverage for losses resulting from the physical destruction or damage to our aircraft. However, there can be no assurance
65


that the amount of such coverage will not change or that we will not bear substantial losses from accidents or damage to, or loss of, aircraft or other property due to other factors such as natural disasters. We could incur substantial claims resulting from an accident or damage to, or loss of, aircraft or other property due to other factors such as natural disasters in excess of related insurance coverage that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. While we have not yet seen an increase in our insurance premiums on accountAs a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, we have experienced, and may continue to experience, increases in our policy premiums as our policies become eligible for renewal.

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`iHawai'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 full 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 Boeing 787-9 aircraft represent significant future financial commitments and operating costs.
As of September 30, 2020,2021, we had the following firm order commitments and purchase rights for additional aircraft:

We have made substantial pre-delivery payments for 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 impactsimpact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are reevaluating these contracts. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to modify these contracts, reschedule the scheduled delivery dates for these aircraft, or take similar actionsentered into an amendment to the extent we seekBoeing 787-9 purchase agreement on October 26, 2020, which provides for, amongst other things, a change in the aircraft delivery schedule from 2021 through 2025 to do so.2022 through 2026, with the first delivery scheduled in the third quarter of 2022. These commitments substantially increase our future capital spending requirements and may require us to increase our level of debt in future years. We are continuing to evaluate our options to finance these orders. There can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain such financing on favorable terms, or at all.

On October 26, 2020, we entered into an amendment to the Boeing 787-9 purchase agreement, which provides for, amongst other things, a change in the aircraft delivery schedule from 2021 through 2025 to 2022 and 2026, with the first delivery scheduled in September 2022.

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 such as aircraft and non-aircraft equipment, resulting in impairment and other related charges that may negatively impact our financial position and results of operations.

Economic and intrinsic triggers, which include the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, 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. The risk of future material impairments has grown significantly as result of the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business.

During the fiscalfirst quarter ended March 31,of 2020, the adverse economic impact and declining passenger demand attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic drove down our stock price to 52-week lows and significantly reduced our cash flows. We determined that the estimated fair value of our business was less than its carrying value. The deficit between the fair value and the carrying value of the assets exceeded the amount of goodwill on our financial statements and, therefore, we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $106.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

As part of our response to COVID-19, discussed above, including substantial capacity reductions and the temporary grounding of the majority of itsour fleet, as well as reduced cash flow projections, we identified indicators of impairment of our 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. In the second quarter of 2020, we recorded an impairment charge of $34.0 million related to our ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets, assets held in our commercial real-estate subsidiary and the termination of software-related projects.

As of September 30, 2020, the Company2021, we had approximately $13.5 million in indefinite-lived intangible assets subject to impairment. The fair value of our indefinite-lived intangible asset continues to exceed its carrying value.

Given the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to evaluate our current fleet and other long-lived assets for impairment accordingly. As of September 30, 2020,2021, our remaining long-lived assets continued to generate future cash flows from operation of the fleet through the respective retirement dates in excess of itstheir respective carrying values.

COMMON STOCK RISKS

The market price of our stock is influenced by many factors, many of which are outside of our control, and include other factors discussed in the Risk Factors section, as well as the following:

our operating results and financial condition;condition
how our operating results and financial condition compare to securities analyst expectations, particularly with respect to metrics for which we do not give guidance, including whether those results significantly fail to meet or exceed securities analyst expectations

changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; andanalysts
sales of our common stock or other actions by investors with significant shareholdings.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 repurchase our common stock pursuant to our share repurchase program or pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.

Under the terms of our PSP3 Agreement, we are required to suspend payment of dividends and refrain from engaging in stock repurchases through September 20, 2022. We announced on March 18, 2020 that we suspended stock repurchases under our previously announced repurchase program, which expired on 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 PSP restrictions are no longer applicable, based on our operating results, financial condition, capital requirements, and general business conditions.

Our certificate of incorporation includes a provision limiting voting and ownership by non-U.S. citizens and our bylaws include a provision specifying an exclusive forum for stockholder disputes.

To comply with restrictions imposed by federal law on foreign ownership of U.S. airlines, our certificate of incorporation restricts voting of shares of our common stock by non-U.S. citizens. Our certificate of incorporation provides that the failure of non-U.S. citizens to register their shares on a separate stock record, which we refer to as the “foreign stock record,” would result in a suspension of their voting rights in the event that the aggregate foreign ownership of the outstanding common stock exceeds the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law.

Our certificate of incorporation further provides that no shares of our common stock will be registered on the foreign stock record if the amount so registered would exceed the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law. If it is determined that the amount registered in the foreign stock record exceeds the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law, shares will be removed from the foreign stock record in reverse chronological order based on the date of registration therein, until the number of shares registered therein does not exceed the foreign ownership restrictions imposed by federal law. As of June 30, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with the foreign ownership rules.

Our bylaws provide that, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or, if such court lacks jurisdiction, any other state or federal court located in the State of Delaware will be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of us; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers or other employees to us or our stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against us or any of our directors, officers or other employees arising pursuant to any provision of the Delaware General Corporation Law or our certificate of incorporation or bylaws (as each may be amended or restated from time

Accordingly, stockholders may be limited in the forum in which they are able to pursue legal actions against us.

Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws may delay or prevent a change of control, which could materially adversely affect the price of our common stock.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may make it difficult to remove our Board of Directors and management, and may discourage or delay a change of control, which could materially and adversely affect the price of our common stock. These provisions include, among others:

the ability of our Board of Directors to issue, without further action by the stockholders, series of undesignated preferred stock, or rights to acquire preferred stock, that could dilute the interest of, or impair the voting power of, holders of our common stock or could also be used as a method of discouraging, delaying or preventing a change of control;
advance notice procedures for stockholder proposals to be considered at stockholders’ meetings and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;
the ability of our Board of Directors to fill vacancies on the board;
a prohibition against stockholders taking action by written consent;
a prohibition against stockholders calling special meetings of stockholders; and
super-majority voting requirements to modify or amend specified provisions of our certificate of incorporation.

We cannot repurchaseIn connection with the issuance of Hawaiian’s enhanced equipment trust certificates, our common stock pursuantindebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, and consequently expose us to risks that could materially adversely affect the resources available to us and Hawaiian to satisfy our share repurchase program or continue to pay dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future.obligations under such certificates.

UnderIn July 2020, we offered enhanced equipment trust certificates (the Certificates) issued by pass-through trusts (the EETC Offering) and, the termsequipment notes held in each trust and passed through to the certificate holders of such trust are senior secured obligations of ours. As of September 30, 2021, the outstanding principal balance of our reliefEETC issuances was $470.1 million. Offerings of structured finance securities, such as the EETC Offering may present risks similar to those of the other types of debt obligations in which we or Hawaiian may invest and, in fact, such risks may be of greater significance in the case of such structured finance securities. In addition, the performance of the Certificates will be affected by a variety of factors, including its priority in the capital structure of the issuer thereof, and the availability of any credit enhancement, the level and timing of payments and recoveries on and the characteristics of the underlying receivables, loans or other assets that are being securitized, remoteness of those assets from the originator or transferor, the adequacy of and ability to realize upon any related collateral and the capability of the servicer of the securitized assets. If we or Hawaiian fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under such indebtedness when due, then we or Hawaiian would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in ours or Hawaiian’s other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.

In connection with the issuance of the senior secured notes due 2026, our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for Hawaiian’s operations, and consequently expose us to risks that could materially adversely affect the resources available to us to satisfy our obligations under the CARES Act, we are required to suspend payment of dividends and refrain from engaging in stock repurchases through the date that is 12 months after the date on which all outstanding loans under the Facility have been repaid in full. 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.

In February 2021, we conducted a private offering of 5.75% senior secured notes due 2026 (the Notes) collateralized by certain loyalty and brand assets (Notes Offering). The indebtedness of Hawaiian and its subsidiaries increased significantly as a result of the Notes Offering. As of September 30, 2021, Hawaiian had 2.0 billion of total indebtedness (excluding finance lease obligations of approximately $131.2 million and operating lease obligations of $522.9 million). We incurred $1.2 billion principal amount of indebtedness as a result of the Notes Offering. We may also incur additional indebtedness to meet future financing needs. The indebtedness of Hawaiian and its subsidiaries could have significant negative consequences for our security holders and the resources available to satisfy our obligations under the Notes, including the following:

greater difficulty satisfying our obligations with respect to the Notes;
increasing Hawaiian’s vulnerability to adverse economic and industry conditions;
limiting Hawaiian’s ability to obtain additional financing;
requiring the dedication of a substantial portion of Hawaiian’s cash flow from operations to service Hawaiian’s indebtedness, which will reduce the amount of cash available for other purposes;
limiting Hawaiian’s flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in its business;
placing Hawaiian at a possible competitive disadvantage with competitors that are less leveraged than us or have better access to capital; and
potentially causing Hawaiian’s credit ratings to be reduced and causing our and Hawaiian’s debt and equity securities to significantly decrease in value.

Hawaiian’s business, including the HawaiianMiles Program, may not generate sufficient funds, and we and Hawaiian may otherwise be unable to maintain sufficient cash reserves, to pay amounts due under our and Hawaiian’s indebtedness, including the Notes, and our and Hawaiian’s cash needs may increase in the future. In addition, future indebtedness that we or Hawaiian may incur may contain financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to operate our business, including with respect to the HawaiianMiles Program, raise capital or make payments under our or Hawaiian’s indebtedness. If we or Hawaiian fail to comply with these covenants or to make payments under ours or Hawaiian’s indebtedness when due, then we or Hawaiian would be in default under that indebtedness, which could, in turn, result in ours and Hawaiian’s other indebtedness becoming immediately payable in full.
