Our total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) was 18.51 cents in 2024, a 2.6% decrease as compared to 19.01 cents in 2023. Fuel In 2024, aircraft fuel expense totaled $11.4 billion, a decrease of $839 million, or 6.8%, as compared to 2023. This decrease was primarily driven by a 12.2% decrease in the average price per gallon of aircraft fuel including related taxes to $2.60 in 2024 from $2.96 in 2023, offset in part by a 6.1% increase in gallons of fuel consumed due to increased capacity. As of December 31, 2024, we did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge our fuel consumption. Our current policy is not to enter into transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, although we review this policy from time to time based on market conditions and other factors. As such, and assuming we do not enter into any future transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, we will continue to be fully exposed to fluctuations in fuel prices. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors - "Our business is very dependent on the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Continued periods of high volatility in fuel costs, increased fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel could have a significant negative impact on consumer demand, our operating results and liquidity."

Fuel Aircraft fuel and related taxes was $2.6 billion in the first quarter of 2025, which was $393 million, or 13.2%, lower as compared to the first quarter of 2024. This was primarily due to a 13.3% decrease in the average price per gallon of aircraft fuel including related taxes to $2.48 in the first quarter of 2025 from $2.86 in the first quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2025, we did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge our fuel consumption.

Other Costs We remain committed to actively managing our cost structure, which we believe is necessary in an industry in which economic prospects are heavily dependent upon two variables we cannot control: general economic conditions and the price of fuel. In 2024, we continued to focus on our reengineering the business initiatives through the use of digital solutions, process enhancements and procurement transformation. We will continue to invest in reengineering our business in 2025 and beyond to build an even more efficient airline and continue to manage costs while delivering a better experience for our customers and team. Our 2024 CASM was 17.61 cents, a decrease of 1.7%, from 17.92 cents in 2023. This decrease in CASM was primarily driven by lower aircraft fuel costs as well as a decrease in mainline operating special items, net, offset in part by higher costs for salaries, wages and benefits and maintenance, materials and repairs. Our 2024 CASM excluding net special items and fuel was 13.50 cents, an increase of 2.6%, from 13.15 cents in 2023, which was primarily driven by higher costs for salaries, wages and benefits and maintenance, materials and repairs. For a reconciliation of total operating CASM to total operating CASM excluding net special items and fuel, see Part II, Item 6. Selected Consolidated Financial Data - "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures." 62

Our 2025 first quarter total operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) was 18.34 cents, an increase of 2.9% from 17.82 cents in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in CASM was primarily driven by higher costs for salaries, wages and benefits, regional expenses and certain other operating expenses, offset in part by lower aircraft fuel costs.

American Eagle Flight 5342 On January 29, 2025, American Eagle flight 5342 was involved in a fatal accident in Washington, D.C. The Bombardier CRJ 700 aircraft operated by PSA was en route to Washington, D.C. from Wichita, Kansas when it was involved in a midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. We estimate that the accident reduced total operating revenues by approximately $200 million in the first quarter of 2025, of which the impacted revenue is not covered by insurance. American has industry standard insurance coverage for this incident and is continuing to assess the full impact on its business resulting from the accident.

Certain Covenants Our debt agreements contain customary terms and conditions as well as various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that, among other things, may restrict the ability of us and our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or repurchase stock. Our debt agreements also contain customary change of control provisions, which may require us to repay or redeem such indebtedness upon certain events constituting a change of control under the relevant agreement, in certain cases at a premium. Additionally, certain of our debt financing agreements (including our secured notes, term loans, revolving credit facilities and spare engine EETCs) contain loan to value (LTV) or collateral coverage ratio covenants and certain agreements require us to appraise the related collateral annually or semiannually. Pursuant to such agreements, if the applicable LTV or collateral coverage ratio exceeds or falls below a specified threshold, as the case may be, we will be required, as applicable, to pledge additional qualifying collateral (which in some cases may include cash or investment securities), withhold additional cash in certain accounts, or pay down such financing, in whole or in part, or the interest rate for the relevant financing will be increased. Additionally, a significant portion of our debt financing agreements contain covenants requiring us to maintain an aggregate of at least $2.0 billion of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and amounts available to be drawn under revolving credit facilities, and our AAdvantage Financing contains a peak debt service coverage ratio, pursuant to which failure to comply with a certain threshold may result in 70 early repayment, in whole or in part, of the AAdvantage Financing. As of the most recent applicable measurement dates, we were in compliance with each of the foregoing covenants.

Capital Raising Activity and Other Possible Actions In light of our significant financial commitments related to, among other things, the servicing and amortization of existing debt and equipment leasing arrangements and new flight equipment, we and our subsidiaries will regularly consider, and enter into negotiations related to, capital raising and liability management activity, which may include the entry into leasing transactions and future issuances of, and transactions designed to manage the timing and amount of, secured or unsecured debt obligations or additional equity or equity-linked securities in public or private offerings or otherwise. The cash available from operations (if any) and these sources, however, may not be sufficient to cover our cash obligations because economic factors may reduce the amount of cash generated by operations or increase costs. For instance, an economic downturn or general global instability caused by military actions, terrorism, disease outbreaks, natural disasters or other causes could reduce the demand for air travel, which would reduce the amount of cash generated by operations. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors - "Downturns in economic conditions could adversely affect our business" for additional discussion. An increase in costs, either due to an increase in borrowing costs caused by a reduction in credit ratings or a general increase in interest rates, or due to an increase in the cost of fuel, maintenance, aircraft, aircraft engines or parts, could decrease the amount of cash available to cover cash contractual obligations. Moreover, certain of our financing arrangements contain significant minimum cash balance or similar liquidity requirements. As a result, we cannot use all of our available cash to fund operations, capital expenditures and cash obligations without violating these requirements. See Note 4 to AAG's Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8A and Note 3 to American's Consolidated Financial Statements in Part II, Item 8B for information regarding our financing arrangements. In the past, we have from time to time refinanced, redeemed or repurchased our debt and taken other steps to reduce or otherwise manage the aggregate amount and cost of our debt, lease and other obligations or otherwise improve our balance sheet. Going forward, depending on market conditions, our cash position and other considerations, we may continue to take such actions, and the amounts involved may be material. 75
