Insights

AAL delivered record Q2 revenue but forecasts potential full-year loss amid mixed signals in operational environment.

American Airlines posted record quarterly revenue of $14.4 billion in Q2 2025, demonstrating resilience in a changing demand landscape. The company achieved GAAP net income of $599 million ($0.91 per diluted share) and adjusted net income of $628 million ($0.95 per diluted share), with an operating margin of approximately 8%.

The airline's performance shows particular strength in international markets, with all international entities delivering positive unit revenue growth year-over-year. The Atlantic routes were especially strong with passenger unit revenue up 5%. Premium cabin demand remained robust, particularly on long-haul international routes. The company's loyalty program continues to show momentum, with AAdvantage active accounts increasing 7% year-over-year and co-branded credit card spending up 6%.

Despite these positives, American's forward guidance reveals significant challenges ahead. Management expects a Q3 2025 adjusted loss per share between ($0.10) and ($0.60). More concerning, the full-year guidance range of ($0.20) to $0.80 per share (with a midpoint of $0.30) signals substantial uncertainty. This guidance suggests American is vulnerable to potential domestic market weakness, despite not seeing macro weaknesses currently.

From a balance sheet perspective, the airline generated $3.4 billion in operating cash flow and $2.5 billion in free cash flow during H1 2025. The company ended Q2 with $38 billion in total debt and $29 billion in net debt, maintaining $12 billion in total available liquidity. These figures reflect management's ongoing efforts to strengthen the balance sheet, though the debt load remains substantial.

Operationally, American faced a 36% increase in disruptive events compared to Q2 2024, primarily due to increased storm activity at key hubs. The ability to recover quickly from these disruptions suggests operational resilience, though these events likely impacted profitability.

FORT WORTH, Texas, July 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) today reported its second-quarter 2025 financial results, including:

  • Record quarterly revenue of $14.4 billion
  • Second-quarter GAAP net income of $599 million, or $0.91 per diluted share
  • Excluding net special items1, second-quarter net income of $628 million, or $0.95 per diluted share
  • Second-quarter operating margin of approximately 8%
  • Ended the quarter with $12 billion of total available liquidity

“American delivered record revenue in an evolving demand environment in the second quarter thanks to the hard work and dedication of our team,� said American’s CEO Robert Isom. “We remain confident that the actions we have taken over the past several years to refresh our fleet, manage costs and strengthen our balance sheet position us well for the future. The investments we have made toward achieving our revenue potential, including bolstering our network, customer experience and loyalty program, are paying off, and the team remains focused on delivering on our long-term strategy.�

Revenue performance
American produced record quarterly revenue of $14.4 billion. The company continued the restoration of revenue from indirect channels, driven by a faster-than-expected recovery in leisure channels, further solidifying its plan to return to historical share of indirect channel revenue exiting this year. American saw continued strength in premium cabin demand in the second quarter, particularly to long-haul international destinations. All international entities delivered positive unit revenue growth year over year, with Atlantic passenger unit revenue up 5%. These results contributed to American’s industry-leading passenger unit revenue year-over-year improvement for the fourth consecutive quarter.

AAdvantage program and co-branded credit card performance
American continues to see strong engagement with its industry-leading AAdvantage® loyalty program, with active accounts up 7% year over year. Spending on co-branded credit cards increased 6% year over year as customers continue to value earning rewards for future travel with American.

Customer experience
American’s new Customer Experience organization continues to make meaningful progress in elevating the travel journey. In the second quarter, American introduced the ability for customers to use miles as a form of payment for instant upgrades and announced plans to open a new Flagship® lounge and nearly double the amount of lounge space at Miami International Airport. American also debuted its new Flagship Suite®, an elevated premium inflight experience that is expected to expand to more destinations this winter.

Operational performance
The American team delivered a resilient operation in the second quarter, which had a 36% increase in disruptive operational events year over year primarily driven by increased storm activity at the airline’s hubs in Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Washington, D.C., and the Northeast. American continues to demonstrate its ability to quickly recover from irregular operations, and its investments in technology are driving additional enhancements to both reliability and the customer experience.

Balance sheet and liquidity
The company'soperating cash flow of $3.4 billion and free cash flow2 generation of $2.5 billion in the first half of 2025 enabled further strengthening of its balance sheet. The company ended the second quarter with $38 billion of total debt3 and $29 billion of net debt4. The company ended the second quarter with $12 billion of total available liquidity, comprised of cash and short-term investments plus undrawn capacity under revolving credit and other facilities.

Guidance and investor update
Based on its current booked revenue, expectations of future demand trends and fuel price, and excluding the impact of special items, the company expects a third-quarter 2025 adjusted loss per diluted share5 to be between ($0.10) and ($0.60). Based on recent booking trends, American expects its full-year adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share5 to be between ($0.20) and $0.80, with a mid-point of $0.30. The company believes the top end of the range is achievable if demand in the domestic market continues to strengthen and only expects to be at the bottom end of the range if there were to be macro weaknesses that are not seen today.

Notes
See the accompanying notes in the financial tables section of this press release for further explanation, including a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP financial information and the calculation of free cash flow.

  1. The company recognized $29 million of net special items in the second quarter after the effect of taxes, which principally included adjustments to litigation reserves, offset in part by mark-to-market net unrealized gains associated with certain equity investments.
  2. Please see the accompanying notes for the company’s definition of free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure.
  3. All references to total debt include debt, finance and operating lease liabilities and pension obligations.
  4. Net debt is defined as total debt net of unrestricted cash and short-term investments.
  5. Adjusted earnings (loss) per diluted share guidance excludes the impact of net special items. The company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking information to GAAP as the nature or amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time.

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information
American Airlines Group Inc. (the Company) sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis.

The tables below present the reconciliations of the following GAAP measures to their non-GAAP measures:

- Operating Income (GAAP measure) to Operating Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
- Operating Margin (GAAP measure) to Operating Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
- Pre-Tax Income (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
- Pre-Tax Margin (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
- Net Income (GAAP measure) to Net Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
- Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share (GAAP measure) to Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude net special items provides management with an additional tool to understand the Company’s core operating performance.

Additionally, the tables below present the reconciliations of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure) and total operating costs per ASM (CASM) to CASM excluding net special items and fuel. Management uses total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel and CASM excluding net special items and fuel to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude fuel and net special items provides management with an additional tool to understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance.

Free Cash Flow
The Company's free cash flow summary is presented in the table below, which is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is useful information to investors and others in evaluating the Company's ability to generate cash from its core operating performance that is available for use to reinvest in the business or to reduce debt. The Company defines free cash flows as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities, adjusted for (1) net purchases of short-term investments and (2) change in restricted cash. We believe that calculating free cash flow as adjusted for these items is more useful for investors because short-term investment activity and restricted cash are not representative of activity core to our operations.

This non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of free cash flow is not intended, and should not be used, to measure the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures because, among other things, it excludes mandatory debt service requirements and certain other non-discretionary expenditures.
