SkyWest, Inc. Announces First Quarter 2026 Profit

First Quarter 2026 Summary

● Q1 2026 pre-tax income of $108 million, net income of $102 million, or $2.50 per diluted share

● As recently announced, SkyWest expects to convert its 50-seat, single-class CRJ200 aircraft to a new 41-seat, dual-class configuration (“CRJ450”)

● SkyWest took delivery of one new E175 aircraft in Q1 2026 under a previously announced agreement with Alaska Airlines

ST. GEORGE, UTAH, April 23, 2026 -- SkyWest, Inc. (NASDAQ: SKYW) (“SkyWest”) today reported financial and operating results for Q1 2026, including net income of $102 million, or $2.50 per diluted share, compared to net income of $101 million, or $2.42 per diluted share, for Q1 2025. SkyWest’s Q1 2026 net income included a discrete income tax benefit of $12 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to Q1 2025.

Commenting on the results, Chip Childs, President and Chief Executive Officer of SkyWest, said, “Demand for our product remains solid, and we continue to re-invest in our fleet, creating long-term value for our customers, our people, and our shareholders. We look forward to operating the CRJ450 aircraft later this year, with a redesigned cabin that includes Wi-Fi service. The new CRJ450 aircraft further demonstrates the value our fleet flexibility provides to our customers. I want to thank our people for their good work through the challenging winter conditions of the first quarter.”

Financial Results

Revenue was $1.0 billion in Q1 2026, up $65 million, or 7%, from $948 million in Q1 2025. SkyWest’s Q1 2026 block hour production increased 3% compared to Q1 2025, which reflects higher fleet utilization year-over-year and strong demand.

Operating expenses were $889 million in Q1 2026, up $80 million, or 10%, from $809 million in Q1 2025, driven by an expected increase in incremental direct operating costs associated with higher production and higher pilot training costs in Q1 2026 compared to Q1 2025.

Capital and Liquidity

SkyWest had $627 million in cash and marketable securities at March 31, 2026, compared to $707 million at December 31, 2025.

Total debt at March 31, 2026 was $2.4 billion, flat from December 31, 2025, reflecting $116 million in principal debt payments and $118 million in new debt issued for new aircraft and engine financings during Q1 2026. Capital expenditures during Q1 2026 were $102 million for the purchase of one new E175 aircraft, spare engines, and other fixed assets.

SkyWest repurchased 783,000 shares of common stock for $75 million during Q1 2026 at an average price per share of $96.18, up from 268,000 shares repurchased for $27 million during Q4 2025 at an average price per share of $100.43. As of March 31, 2026, SkyWest had $138 million of remaining availability under its current share repurchase program.

Commercial Agreements

As recently announced, SkyWest expects to convert its single-class CRJ200 aircraft operating for United Airlines (“United”) to a new 41-seat, dual-class configuration by 2028. The first redesigned CRJ450 is expected to start service in Fall 2026. The CRJ450 aircraft will have a spacious United First cabin with a large luggage closet instead of overhead bins, larger main cabin overhead bins to fit rollaboard bags, and Starlink Wi-Fi service.

SkyWest is coordinating with its major airline partners regarding the timing of upcoming announced fleet deliveries. The table below summarizes anticipated E175 aircraft deliveries during the periods indicated based on currently available information, which is subject to change. SkyWest had one E175 aircraft delivery for Alaska Airlines (“Alaska”) during Q1 2026, which is reflected in the table below.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

SkyWest receives certain fixed monthly cash payments under its capacity purchase agreements (“CPAs”) that are attributed to SkyWest’s overhead costs and certain fixed monthly cash payments associated with SkyWest’s aircraft ownership costs. Fixed payments allocated to the non-lease portion are recognized as revenue on a completed block hour basis over the applicable contract term. Fixed payments allocated to the lease portion are accounted for as lease revenue under the CPAs and are recognized on a straight-line basis over the applicable contract term. Fixed monthly cash payments received in excess of revenue recognized during the reporting period are recorded as deferred revenue and revenue recognized in excess of fixed monthly cash payments during the reporting period are recorded as unbilled revenue on SkyWest’s consolidated balance sheet. The following supplemental cash flow schedule summarizes the total revenue recognized in excess of the fixed monthly cash received during the indicated reporting periods and the cumulative difference as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (dollars in thousands, unaudited).
