Alaska Air Group reports first quarter 2026 results

Led the industry in on-time performance in the first quarter

Extended Bank of America partnership, delivering improved economics and capabilities for our Atmos™ Rewards program

Premium revenue increased 8% year-over-year and over 90% of premium fleet retrofits completed ahead of peak summer travel season

SEATTLE — Alaska Air Group (NYSE: ALK) today reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2026.

“Even in a volatile quarter, we’re seeing clear evidence that our long-term Alaska Accelerate plan is working,” said CEO Ben Minicucci. “We’re leading the industry in on-time performance, achieving a significant integration milestone with a single reservation system, generating incredible loyalty growth with Atmos Rewards and driving strong international demand as we launch service to Europe. I’m confident in our people, our plan, and our future.”

Quarter in Review:

Air Group reported first quarter Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) pretax margin of (9.6)% and GAAP net loss of $193 million, or $1.69 per share. Our first quarter adjusted pretax margin was (8.6)% and our adjusted net loss was $192 million, or $1.68 per share.

Q1 2026 Results

Prior Expectation Actual Results

Capacity (ASMs) % change versus 2025 Up ~2% Up 1.7%

RASM % change versus 2025 n/a Up 3.5%

CASMex % change versus 2025 n/a Up 6.3%

Adjusted loss per share ($2.00) to ($1.50) $(1.68)

Air Group began the year with solid operating momentum, though first quarter 2026 results were impacted by sharply higher fuel prices and localized demand disruptions as a result of historic rainstorms in Hawaiʻi and civil unrest in Puerto Vallarta ahead of the peak spring break travel season. These markets represent approximately 30% of Air Group capacity. Despite these headwinds, demand remained resilient and the company continued to execute against integration priorities and Alaska Accelerate initiatives.

First quarter revenue totaled approximately $3.3 billion, with unit revenue up 3.5% year-over-year despite a nearly 1 point headwind from Hawaiʻi and Puerto Vallarta. Premium demand continued to outperform as fleet retrofits and Starlink installations progressed. Managed corporate travel increased 19% year-over-year, supported by an expanding global network. Our international long-haul expansion continues to perform strongly with Seattle-Tokyo reaching profitability less than one year after launch and load factors exceeding 90% on both Seattle-Tokyo and Seattle-Seoul routes.

Atmos Rewards membership and co‑brand credit card remuneration both grew double digits year-over-year, with particularly strong momentum in Hawaiʻi. Further, our new long‑term extension and expansion of our co‑brand partnership with Bank of America improves economics and will drive incremental growth in cash remuneration for Air Group in 2026 and beyond.

Unit costs increased 6.3% year-over-year, in-line with expectations, reflecting the final quarter of normalization for Alaska's 2025 flight attendant contract, as well as temporary impacts from weather-related disruptions. The quarter also delivered progress in core cost performance, including improvements in aircraft utilization, productivity, and maintenance execution, while returning to industry-leading operational reliability.

First quarter fuel costs increased materially due to elevated crude and refining prices, averaging $2.98 for the period. Excluding higher fuel costs and the one‑time disruptions in Hawaiʻi and Puerto Vallarta, results would have exceeded the midpoint of original first quarter expectations.

Second Quarter Forecast Information:

For full year 2026, our visibility to earnings is limited due primarily to ongoing fuel price volatility. Until conditions stabilize and we have better sight to earnings beyond the current quarter, we have suspended full-year guidance. Similarly, for the second quarter, the range of potential financial outcomes remains wide and difficult to predict, as recent geopolitical factors have resulted in sharp and unpredictable changes in fuel prices. As a result, we're providing detailed assumptions on unit revenue and unit costs, in lieu of our traditional EPS guidance range.

Second quarter capacity is expected to be up approximately 1% year-over-year, down nearly a point from original expectations, reflecting proactive trimming of capacity in May and June. Second quarter unit revenues are trending to be up high single digits year-over-year, with a path to increasing 10% year-over-year, assuming demand strength and yield trends sustain the rest of the period. This expectation is despite a 2-point unit revenue headwind from storms in Hawai'i that have impacted near term demand.

Second quarter year-over-year unit cost performance is expected to be approximately 1.5 points higher than the first quarter, driven by close‑in capacity reductions and several transitory factors. These include crew training costs associated with the ramp‑up of international widebody flying, a year‑over‑year headwind from aircraft sale gains in the second quarter of 2025, and current year planned employee recognition expense tied to achieving a single passenger service system - an important integration milestone. Unit costs are expected to inflect downward in the second half of the year to low single‑digit growth.

Fuel remains the largest source of near‑term uncertainty. April fuel is expected to be approximately $4.75 per gallon, and we expect the quarter to average approximately $4.50 based on the forward curve today. This assumption adds approximately $600 million of expense to the second quarter, equivalent to an earnings per share headwind of $3.60. We expect to consume approximately 297 million gallons of fuel in the quarter based on our current capacity plan.

Our assumed tax rate is 32%, though this could change dependent on the full year outlook as we exit the quarter. Any tax accrual changes are not expected to have cash flow impacts, as we do not expect to incur cash taxes in the near term. Taken together, the revenue, cost, and fuel assumptions result in an adjusted loss per share estimate of approximately ($1.00). Absent the fuel price spike, we would have guided to a solidly profitable quarter.

Despite the challenging near‑term backdrop, Air Group continues to operate from a position of strength, supported by a healthy balance sheet, strong liquidity, approximately $20 billion in unencumbered assets, and disciplined capital allocation. Our

continued focus on Alaska Accelerate initiatives to build scale, relevance and loyalty position us well to build a higher‑quality, more durable revenue mix, while maintaining focus on cost discipline and operational excellence.

GAAP TO NON-GAAP RECONCILIATIONS (unaudited)

Alaska Air Group, Inc.

We are providing reconciliations of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis. Amounts in the tables below are rounded to the nearest million. As a result, a manual recalculation of certain figures using these rounded amounts may not agree directly to the amounts presented. These reconciliations include adjustments intended to improve comparability and provide a clearer view of the Company’s core operating performance.

Losses (gains) on foreign debt and other primarily reflect unrealized and realized gains or losses resulting from changes in foreign currency exchange rates on certain debt. In 2025, these expenses also included mark-to-market fuel hedge adjustments.

Special items - operating primarily relate to costs associated with the integration of Hawaiian Airlines, including employee-related costs, technology costs, and other merger-related expenses. In 2025, these expenses also included costs related to changes in Alaska flight attendants' sick leave benefits pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement ratified in that year.

(a)Operating income can be reconciled using the trailing twelve month operating income as filed quarterly with the SEC.

Note A: Pursuant to Regulation G, we provide reconciliations of reported non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide meaningful supplemental information to investors for the following reasons:

•By excluding certain costs from our unit metrics, we believe that we have better visibility into our underlying operating results. The airline industry is highly competitive and characterized by significant fixed costs, so relatively small changes in operating costs can have a meaningful impact on results. Because U.S. carriers are generally similarly affected by changes in jet fuel prices over the long run, we believe it is important for management and investors to focus on company-specific cost drivers that are more controllable by management. We also adjust for costs related to our freighter aircraft operations, including costs incurred under the ATSA with Amazon, to enhance comparability with carriers that do not operate freighter aircraft. Certain special charges are excluded as they are unusual or nonrecurring in nature, providing a more meaningful assessment of ongoing cost performance.

•CASMex is a key measure used by management and the Air Group Board of Directors to evaluate cost performance. It is also commonly used by industry analysts to compare airlines. In 2026, Air Group revised its CASMex definition to exclude Performance-Based Pay (PBP) expense. We believe this revision provides a more meaningful view of core operating cost performance and enhances comparability with other carriers.

•Adjusted pretax income is an important metric used in the Company's employee incentive plan, which covers the majority of Air Group employees.

•Adjusted capital expenditures includes certain amounts that are not classified as investing cash outflows within our consolidated statements of cash flows, but are viewed by management and other stakeholders as significant long-term investments in the business. We believe these adjustments provide a more complete view of our capital expenditures during the year.

•Liquidity and leverage measures, including debt-to-capitalization and adjusted net debt to EBITDAR, are presented to provide insight into the Company's financial position and flexibility. In 2026, we made adjustments to the calculation of these metrics to enhance comparability with our peers. The debt-to-capitalization ratio now excludes the current portion of operating and finance lease liabilities, with prior periods recast for consistency. Additionally, EBITDAR was adjusted to reflect the fixed portion of operating leases rather than total aircraft rent to better reflect performance, with prior periods recast accordingly.

•Disclosure of the individual impact of certain items allows investors to evaluate performance both with and without these items. We believe this information is useful because such items may not be indicative of future performance, and industry analysts and investors frequently assess results excluding these items to enhance comparability across periods and among airlines.

•Although we disclose our unit revenue, we do not, nor are we able to, evaluate unit revenue excluding the impact that changes in fuel costs have had on ticket prices. Fuel expense represents a large percentage of our total operating expenses. Fluctuations in fuel prices often drive changes in unit revenue in the mid-to-long term. Although we believe it is useful to evaluate non-fuel unit costs for the reasons noted above, we would caution readers of these financial statements not to place undue reliance on unit costs excluding fuel as a measure or predictor of future profitability because of the significant impact of fuel costs on our business.

3 Earnings Update ❑ Air Group's Q1 2026 adjusted loss per share of ($1.68) came in ahead of the midpoint of revised mid -quarter expectations. Operating cash flow reached $421 million during the quarter, reflecting demand resilience despite a challenging fuel environment and unique headwinds in Hawai’i due to historic storms and civil unrest in Mexico. ❑ Unit revenue increased 3.5% in Q1 2026, building on a strong prior -year comparison and supported by broad -based strength in premium, corporate, and loyalty revenue streams. The headwinds in Hawaii and Mexico drove a nearly 1 -point impact to unit revenues for the quarter. ❑ Air Group announced a long -term extension and expansion of its co -brand partnership with Bank of America, expected to deliver improved economics and incremental cash remuneration, further strengthening loyalty as a durable, long -term earnings driver. ❑ Q1 2026 unit costs were up 6.3%, in line with expectations, reflecting continued pressure from airport real estate, maintenance, and elevated pilot training costs associated with the ramp -up of international flying. ❑ Economic fuel cost per gallon averaged $2.98 for Q1 2026 as West Coast and Singapore refining margins remained elevated throughout the quarter. ❑ Air Group’s balance sheet remains strong, with debt -to-cap at 61%, and adjusted net debt to EBITDAR at 3.3x.

4 Current Demand Environment ❑ In Hawai’i, storms have finally passed and weather has normalized; forward bookings have recently returned to positive levels with improving trends in May and June. However, we still expect an overall 2 -point unit revenue drag on the second quarter from booking impacts because of the storms. ❑ Across the Continental US , incoming yields are up 20%+ YoY in recent weeks; held unit revenues in domestic markets up double digits for back half of Q2, supporting expected low double -digit system RASM gains for the quarter ❑ Corporate travel is accelerating — Managed corporate revenue was up 19% in Q1, with held revenue over the next 90 days up nearly 30%; strength is broad -based across manufacturing, financial services, and technology ❑ International booking trends are building in line with expectations and strong Atmos Rewards engagement, and we anticipate full flights this summer on all our new European routes. Our new Rome service launches next week and over 70% of guests who have booked are Atmos Rewards members

Alaska Air Group and Bank of America Expand Long-Standing Credit Card Partnership

Strengthens co-branded credit card portfolio and supports growth of the Atmos Rewards program

Cardholders will benefit from enhanced value across the full suite of Atmos Rewards credit cards over time

Alaska Air Group will move toward a single issuer for its Atmos Rewards credit cards

The extended partnership is expected to drive incremental value for both companies

SEATTLE / CHARLOTTE — Alaska Air Group Inc. (NYSE: ALK) and Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) today announced a multi-year extension of their co-branded credit card agreement – a continuation of the bank’s largest co-brand partnership. For more than 30 years, the strategic partnership has put an industry leading co-branded credit card in the wallet of millions of travelers and helped build various features of the airline’s brand, including the famous Companion Fare.

“Bank of America has been a foundational partner to Alaska’s growth over the last few decades,” said Ben Minicucci, Chief Executive Officer of Alaska. “Together, they have helped us build the airline industry’s most generous and valuable loyalty program. Extending this partnership will mean even greater benefits for cardholders, taking them further as Alaska and Hawaiian expand across the globe.”

The renewed agreement will deepen integration between Alaska and Bank of America by:

•Creating incremental value for both companies.

•Increasing investment in the Atmos™ Rewards brand, Alaska and Hawaiian’s lounge program, and enhancing the suite of credit cards (including new cards and refreshes of existing cards).

•Enhancing technology and the cardholder experience, including expanded benefits across multiple card offerings.

“Alaska Air Group has been an exceptional partner for more than three decades, and this extension reflects our shared commitment to delivering meaningful value for cardholders,” said Dean Athanasia, Co-President, Bank of America. “Together, we’re investing in innovation, enhancing the cardholder experience, and supporting the continued growth of the Atmos Rewards platform — while creating long term value for both companies.”

Alaska and Bank of America are working toward BofA becoming the single issuer of all co-brand credit cards for the Atmos™ Rewards program, which has been recognized as the best Airline Rewards Program for 2026 by NerdWallet.

Remuneration from the co-brand card portfolio grew 10% in 2025, fueled by the launch of the Atmos Rewards loyalty program and the new premium Summit Visa Infinite® card. The Summit card continues to exceed acquisition and spend expectations, achieving significant average spend levels, driven by a compelling value proposition that includes exclusive lounge access and a unique Global Companion Award. This appeal has attracted new premium, high-spending customers and earned industry recognition, including being named The Points Guy’s best new personal credit card earlier this year.

The expansion of the card portfolio is expected to accelerate the growth of Alaska’s loyalty platform beyond the incremental $150 million in profit outlined in the Alaska Accelerate strategy. The extension with Bank of America reinforces this momentum, strengthening the partnership and supporting sustained long term value creation through the loyalty ecosystem.

Atmos Rewards Credit Card Benefits

The Atmos Rewards co-brand credit cards, powered by Bank of America, continue to provide cardholders industry-leading benefits including:

Summit Visa Infinite® card

•Access to an industry-leading 25,000-point Global Companion Award

•Eight Alaska Lounge day passes annually

•Three points for every $1 spent on all foreign transactions

•Travel delay protection and more

Ascent Visa Signature® card

•Access to the famous Companion Fare ($99 + taxes/fees),

•Free checked bag for cardholder and up to six travel companions

•$100 off an Alaska Lounge+ membership

•A faster path to elite status and more

Q&A

Q: What does this extended partnership mean for current and future Atmos Rewards cardholders?

A: The renewed agreement delivers expanded benefits, including increased investment in lounge programs, product enhancements and the potential for new card offerings. This ensures even greater value, more rewards, and improved experiences for all Atmos Rewards members.

Q: What does Alaska Air Group moving towards a "single issuer" with Bank of America signify for customers?

A: This initiative aims to streamline operations and further integrate the co-brand credit card experience across the entire Atmos Rewards portfolio, including Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines. It is designed to lead to more consistent, simplified, and enhanced services and offerings for cardholders.

Q: When can cardholders expect to see these new benefits and product enhancements, and how will they be notified of specific changes?

A: We are actively working to introduce enhanced benefits in the future and new product features as they become available. Cardholders will be informed of specific updates through our standard customer communications process at the appropriate time.
