Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Business and Basis of Presentation
Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the Company or Holdings) is a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Companys primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (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 Companys results of operations and financial position for the periods presented. Due to seasonal fluctuations, 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 to be expected for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes of the Company included in the Companys current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2013.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Bureau (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11). ASU 2011-11 requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset on the statement of financial position, as well as instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement. Also, this standard requires the disclosure of collateral received and posted with counterparties in connection with master netting agreements or similar agreements. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company has adopted this standard in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and reflected the required disclosures within the notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
In January 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2013-01). ASU 2013-01 further clarifies ASU 2011-11, narrowing the scope of derivative instruments, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions, eligible for offset under ASC 210 and ASC 815. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company has adopted this standard in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and reflected the required disclosures within the notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, Comprehensive Income: Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (ASU 2013-02). ASU 2013-02 requires entities to present current period reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income and separately report the effect of significant reclassifications out of current period other comprehensive income by component, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes. This amendment is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2012 and should be applied prospectively. The Company has adopted this standard in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and reflected the required disclosures within the notes to the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.
2. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Comprehensive income (loss) includes amortization of defined benefit pension items and changes in the fair value of our interest rate derivatives and foreign currency derivatives, which qualify for hedge accounting under ASC 815.

3. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net income or loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

4. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 clarifies that fair value is 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.
The tables below present the Companys financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012:

Cash equivalents. The Companys cash equivalents consist of money market securities and are classified as Level 1 investments and are valued using inputs observable in markets for identical securities.
Fuel derivative contracts. The Companys fuel derivative contracts consist of Brent crude oil call options and collars (a combination of purchased call options and sold put options of crude oil) 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.
Interest rate derivatives. The Companys interest rate derivatives consist of interest rate swaps and are valued based primarily on data available or derived from public markets.
Foreign currency derivatives. The Companys foreign currency derivatives consist of Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar forward contracts and are valued based primarily on data available or derived from public markets.
The fair value of the Companys debt (excluding obligations under capital leases) with a carrying value of $543.3 million and $554.6 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, was approximately $555.6 million ($78.9 million as Level 2 and $476.7 million as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy) and $547.9 million ($81.1 million as Level 2 and $466.8 million as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy). The Companys fair value estimates were based on either market prices or the discounted amount of future cash flows using the Companys current incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities.
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other receivables and accounts payable approximate their fair value due to their short-term nature.
5. 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, interest rates and foreign currencies.
Fuel Risk Management
The Companys 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 months ended March 31, 2013, the Company primarily used Brent crude oil call options and collars (combinations of purchased call options and sold put options of crude oil). These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are adjusted through other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.
The following table reflects the amount and location of realized and unrealized gains and losses that were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, and where those gains and losses were recorded in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Interest Rate Risk Management
The Company is exposed to market risk from adverse changes in interest rates associated with our long-term debt obligations. Market risk associated with our fixed and variable-rate long-term debt relates to the potential reduction in fair value and negative impact to future earnings, respectively, from an increase in interest rates.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge interest rate risk inherent in debt agreements used to finance upcoming aircraft deliveries in the first half of 2013.
These interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. The effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which interest is accrued. The effective portion of the interest rate swaps represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in the fair value of the hedged item. To the extent the change in the fair value of the hedge does not perfectly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized in nonoperating income (expense).
The Company did not record any ineffectiveness during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The Company believes that its derivative contracts will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. The Company has not reclassified any gains or losses from AOCI to interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The net loss expected to be reclassified over the next 12 months from AOCI is not material based on the values at March 31, 2013.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Management
The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk due to revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, with the primary exposures being the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. To manage exchange rate risk, the Company executes both its international revenue and expense transactions in the same foreign currency to the extent practicable.
In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company entered into foreign currency forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815, to further manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates. The effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the related sales are recognized in passenger revenue. The effective portion of the foreign currency forward contracts represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in the fair value of the hedged item. To the extent the change in the fair value of the hedge does not perfectly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized in nonoperating income (expense).
During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company did not record any ineffectiveness on its foreign currency forward contracts. The Company believes that its derivative contracts will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. The Company has reclassified gains from AOCI to passenger revenue of $0.3 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2013. The Company expects to reclassify a net gain of approximately $3.0 million into earnings over the next 12 months from AOCI based on the values at March 31, 2013.

Risk and Collateral
The financial derivative instruments expose the Company to possible credit loss in the event the counterparties to the agreements fail to meet their obligations. However, the Company has not experienced any significant credit losses by its counterparties due to nonperformance in the past. 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) periodically monitors the market position and credit rating of each counterparty. The Company is also subject to market risk in the event 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 Companys overall exposure.
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, or present such amounts on a gross basis. Based on the fair value of our financial derivative agreements, our counterparties may require us to post collateral when the price of the underlying financial derivative decreases. The Companys accounting policy is to present its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis including the collateral posted with the counterparty. The Company had no collateral posted with counterparties as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

7. Leases
The Company leases aircraft, engines and other assets under long-term lease arrangements. Other leased assets include real property, airport and terminal facilities, maintenance facilities, training centers, and general offices. Certain leases include escalation clauses and renewal options. When lease renewals are considered to be reasonably assured, the rental payments that will be due during the renewal periods are included in the determination of rent expense over the life of the lease.
In the first quarter of 2013, the Company took delivery of an Airbus A330-200 aircraft under an operating lease with a lease term of 12 years with an option to extend an additional two years.
As of March 31, 2013, the scheduled future minimum rental payments under capital leases and operating leases with noncancelable basic terms of more than one year were as follows:

9. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Commitments
As of March 31, 2013, the Company had capital commitments consisting of firm aircraft and engine orders for 12 wide-body Airbus A330-200 aircraft, six Airbus A350XWB-800 aircraft, 16 narrow-body Airbus A321neo aircraft and four Rolls Royce spare engines (two for its A330-200 aircraft and two for its A350XWB-800 aircraft) scheduled for delivery through 2020. The Company has purchase rights for an additional three A330-200 aircraft, six A350XWB-800 aircraft, and nine A321neo aircraft and can utilize these rights subject to production availability.
During April 2013, the Company executed a purchase agreement for two Pratt and Whitney spare engines (for its A321neo aircraft), and has purchase options for two additional spare engines.
The Company has operating commitments with a third-party to provide aircraft maintenance services which include fixed payments as well as variable payments based on flight hours for its Airbus fleet through 2027. The Company also has operating commitments with third-party service providers for reservations, IT, and accounting services through 2017.
Committed capital and operating expenditures include escalation and variable amounts based on estimates. The gross committed expenditures for upcoming aircraft deliveries and committed financings for those deliveries during the remainder of 2013 and the next four years and thereafter are detailed below:

* See below for a detailed discussion of the committed financings Hawaiian has received for its upcoming capital commitments for aircraft deliveries.
Airbus A330-200 Facility Agreement Commitments
Hawaiian has commitments for two separate secured loan agreements entered into during the second half of 2012, totaling $132 million to finance a portion of the capital commitments for two upcoming Airbus A330-200 aircraft deliveries during the quarter ended June 2013 (one A330-200 aircraft with committed financings of $67 million was delivered in April 2013). Both the gross capital commitment for the cost of the aircraft and the committed financings are shown in the table above. These loan agreements have a term of ten years with quarterly principal and interest payments. One of the loan agreements will bear interest under a variable-rate with a $7 million balloon payment due at maturity, and the other will bear interest under a fixed-rate with a $10 million balloon payment due at maturity.
The anticipated future principal payments and commitment fees for this facility agreement, not included in the table above or in the debt maturities table in Note 6, are approximately $8.2 million for the remaining months in 2013, $10.8 million in 2014, $11.0 million in 2015, $11.3 million in 2016, $11.6 million in 2017 and $80.4 million thereafter.
Purchase Aircraft Lease Financing Agreement
In April 2013, Hawaiian took delivery, assigned its purchase of and simultaneously entered into a lease agreement for an Airbus A330-200 aircraft, with total committed lease financing of $90 million. Both the gross capital commitment for the cost of the aircraft and the committed financing are shown in the table above. The lease agreement has an initial lease term of 12 years with the option to extend an additional two years. Rent under the lease is payable monthly at a fixed rate determined at delivery of the aircraft. The Company will determine whether this lease will be classified as a capital or operating lease during the three months ended June 30, 2013.
The anticipated future minimum payments for this lease, not included in the table above or in the future minimum rental payments table in Note 7, are $6.9 million for the remaining months in 2013 and approximately $9.2 million in 2014, $9.2 million in 2015, $9.2 million in 2016, $9.2 million in 2017 and $66.6 million thereafter.
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 Companys operations, business or financial condition.
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 the contract. It is common in such lease transactions for the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third-parties for tort liabilities that arise out of or relate to the lessees 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 their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, the lessee typically indemnifies such parties for any environmental liability that arises out of or relates to its use of the real estate leased premises. The Company believes that it is covered by insurance (subject to deductibles) for most tort liabilities and related indemnities described above with respect to the aircraft and real estate that it leases. The Company cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments, if any, under the foregoing indemnities and agreements.
Credit Card Holdback
Under the Companys 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. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in the Companys unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $5.0 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could also cause a covenant violation under other debt or lease obligations and have a material adverse impact on the Company.
10. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented in accordance with Regulation S-X paragraph 210.3-10 because under a registration statement on Form S-3 that was declared effective on April 18, 2013, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian or Subsidiary Issuer / Guarantor), a wholly owned subsidiary of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the Company or Parent Issuer / Guarantor), may fully and unconditionally guarantee any securities issued by Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. under the registration statement, and Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. will fully and unconditionally guarantee any securities issued by Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. under the registration statement.
Also, in accordance with Regulation S-X paragraph 210.5-04 (c), the Company is required to report condensed financial information as a result of restrictions in Hawaiians debt agreements. The Companys condensed consolidating financial information satisfies this requirement.
Condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in the following tables:

Certain Restrictions on Subsidiary Distributions, Dividends and Repurchases
The Company and Hawaiian are party to an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement), dated as of December 10, 2010, that provides for a Revolving Credit Facility. See further discussion of the Revolving Credit Facility at Note 6 Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our current report on Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2013. The Credit Agreement provides that, subject to certain exceptions, neither Hawaiian nor any other subsidiary of the Company will make any distribution or other payment on account of, or declare or pay any dividend on, or purchase, acquire, redeem or retire any stock issued by Hawaiian or any other subsidiary of the Company. The exceptions include (i) distributions by Hawaiian to the Company for the purpose of allowing the Company to pay federal and state income and franchise taxes, (ii) distributions by Hawaiian to the Company to pay customary costs and expenses of operating a publicly traded company in an aggregate amount in any year not to exceed $10.0 million, and (iii) so long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom, distributions by Hawaiian to the Company for the purpose of making regularly scheduled interest payments on specified indebtedness of the Company. In addition, the Credit Agreement restricts the ability of Hawaiian and the other subsidiaries of the Company from making loans or advances to the Company. The net assets of Hawaiian restricted under the Credit Agreement, defined as shareholders equity, totaled $166.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and $178.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Long-Term Debt
The long-term debt included in the Parent Issuer / Guarantor column represents the Convertible Debt described in Note 6 Debt to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our current report on Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2013.

Overview
Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the Company, Holdings, we, us and our) is a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Companys primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian). Hawaiian was originally incorporated in January 1929 under the laws of the Territory of Hawaii and became the Companys indirect wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to a corporate restructuring that was consummated in August 2002. Hawaiian became a Delaware corporation and the Companys direct wholly-owned subsidiary concurrent with its reorganization in June 2005.
Our Business
We are engaged in the scheduled air transportation of passengers and cargo amongst the Hawaiian Islands (the Neighbor Island routes), between the Hawaiian Islands and certain cities in the U.S. mainland (the North America routes), and between the Hawaiian Islands and the South Pacific, Australia and Asia (the International routes), collectively referred to as our Scheduled Operations. In addition, we operate various charter flights. We are the largest airline headquartered in the State of Hawaii and the eleventh largest domestic airline in the United States based on revenue passenger miles reported by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration Bureau of Transportation Statistics as of December 31, 2012, the latest available data.
As of March 31, 2013, Hawaiian had 4,962 active employees.

· Announced the addition of seasonal frequency flights between Honolulu and three Oceania gateways, Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland in September and October 2013.
· Announced three-times-weekly-service between Honolulu and Beijing, China beginning in April 2014 pending government approval.
See Results of Operations below for further discussion of changes in revenues and operating expenses and our reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.
In March 2013, we executed a purchase agreement to acquire 16 Airbus A321neo aircraft with scheduled delivery from 2017 to 2020. These fuel efficient, long-range, single-aisle aircraft will complement our existing fleet of wide-body, twin aisle aircraft used for long-haul flying between Hawaii and the U.S. West Coast. In addition, during April 2013, we executed a purchase agreement
for two Pratt and Whitney spare engines (for our Airbus A321neo aircraft) for expected delivery in 2017 and 2018, with the option to purchase an additional two engines. Pratt and Whitney will also provide off-wing engine maintenance for the Airbus A321neo aircraft.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we continued to focus on our International expansion with the launch of our non-stop flight to Auckland, New Zealand with three-times-weekly service initiated in March 2013. We are currently the only U.S. carrier serving this city. Further, we announced three-times-weekly service from Honolulu to Sendai, Japan to begin in June 2013, reflecting our fifth destination to Japan since 2010, and in April 2013 announced three-times-weekly service from Honolulu to Beijing, China to begin in April 2014 (subject to government approval), reflecting our first destination to China.
In February 2013, we announced the branding of our turboprop operations as Ohana by Hawaiian for our new Neighbor Island service between Honolulu and the islands of Moloka i and Lana i, expected to begin during the summer season of 2013.
The table below summarizes our total fleet as of March 31, 2012 and 2013, and expected fleet as of June 30, 2013 (based on existing agreements):

(1) Hawaiian took delivery of a leased A330-200 aircraft in February 2013.
(2) Hawaiian took delivery of one leased A330-200 aircraft and one owned A330-200 aircraft in April 2013, and will take delivery of one owned A330-200 in June 2013.
(3) The decrease in the number of leased 767-300ER aircraft from the quarter ended March 31, 2013 to the quarter ended June 30, 2013 is due to the planned return of a leased aircraft at the end of its lease term.
(4) Hawaiian took delivery of two owned ATR42 turboprop aircraft during the fourth quarter of 2012, with service expected to initiate on our new Neighbor Island routes operated under Ohana by Hawaiian during the summer season of 2013.
(5) Leased aircraft include both aircraft under capital and operating leases. See Note 7 for further discussion of our aircraft leases.
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded a net loss of $17.1 million or $0.33 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.3 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. Our current period results reflect the impact of seasonal volatility, where we typically experience lower demand for travel to Hawaii during the first three months of the calendar year, combined with excess capacity due to increased competition on certain of our North America and International routes. Our positive prior-period results reflected higher unit revenues (passenger revenue per available seat mile) and higher passenger yield, reflecting the impact of expanding our International routes to Japan and Korea, and increasing frequencies on our Australia route.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) results and per-share amounts
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 industry analysts and investors;
· Our results excluding these items are often used in management and board of directors decision making analysis;
· It is useful to monitor performance without these items as it improves a readers ability to compare our results to other airlines; and
· It is consistent with how we present information in our quarterly earnings press releases.
See table below for reconciliation between GAAP consolidated net income to adjusted consolidated net income, including per share amounts for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands unless otherwise indicated).

Operating Revenue
Operating revenue was $490.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, a 12.7% increase over operating revenue of $435.5 million for the prior-year period, driven primarily by an increase in passenger revenue, which was primarily due to the expansion of our international services.
Passenger Revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, passenger revenue increased $49.0 million or 12.5%, as compared to the prior-year period, due to increased capacity that was partially offset by decreased yield and load factor as we faced increased competition on certain of our North America and International routes, which led to a decreased load factor and lower average fares in certain portions of our network.

North America North America revenue increased by $11.3 million, or 6.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, due to increased capacity, partially offset by decreased yield. The increase in capacity was primarily due to the commencement of new routes that initiated subsequent to March 31, 2012, which reflect non-stop daily service from Honolulu to New York City, New York (launched in June 2012), and a third daily year-round flight from Honolulu to Los Angeles, California (launched in June 2012). We experienced a decrease in yield due to an increase in price discounting related to the increase in overall industry capacity on our existing routes and the effect of an increase in average trip length.
Neighbor Island Neighbor Island revenue increased by $2.7 million, or 2.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to an increased load factor, partially offset by decreased yield. Increased load factor was the result of schedule changes initiated during the fourth quarter of 2012 to decrease capacity on these routes, combined with an increase in overall traffic (RPMs). We experienced a slight decrease in yield primarily due to decreased average fares on these routes, partially offset by the increase in RPMs and load factor. Our prior-period results reflect capacity increases provided by three Boeing 717-200 aircraft which entered the fleet in December 2011 and January 2012.
International International revenue increased by $35.0 million, or 32.8%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, due to increased capacity, partially offset by decreased load factor and yield. The increase in capacity was primarily due to the commencement of new routes that initiated subsequent to March 31, 2012, which reflect non-stop daily routes from Honolulu to Fukuoka, Japan (launched in April 2012), three-times weekly service to Sapporo, Japan, Brisbane, Australia (launched in November 2012), and Auckland, New Zealand (launched in March 2013), and the increase in our Seoul, Korea service to daily from four times per week (launched in August 2012). We experienced a decrease in load factor and yield as we faced increased competition on our Japanese routes combined with the weakening of the Japanese Yen, resulting in a decrease in average fares from the prior-year period.
Other Operating Revenue
Other operating revenue increased by $6.2 million, or 14.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to increased cargo revenue due to the additional cargo capacity provided by the Airbus A330-200 aircraft and the expansion of our network, and increased charter and incidental revenue.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses were $502.7 million and $422.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Increases (decreases) in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the prior-year period is detailed below:

Our operations have expanded by approximately 26.2% (measured in ASMs) during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to the addition of four Airbus A330-200 aircraft since March 31, 2012. Our expansion includes the addition of new North America and International routes since March 31, 2012. As a result of this expansion, we have experienced corresponding increases in our variable expenses such as aircraft fuel, wages and benefits, maintenance materials and repairs, aircraft and passenger servicing, commissions and other selling, and other expenses (which primarily consists of purchased services, personnel expenses and professional and technical fees).
We expect operating expenses to increase with the continued expansion of our services and the increase in the number of aircraft in our fleet.
Aircraft Fuel
Aircraft fuel expense increased in the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to the prior-year period, due to an increase in fuel gallons consumed driven primarily by the additional aircraft that entered the fleet subsequent to March 31, 2012 (four additional Airbus A330-200 aircraft), and partially offset by a decrease in fuel price as illustrated in the following table:

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, our fuel derivatives were not designated for hedge accounting under ASC 815 and were marked to fair value through nonoperating income (expense) in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We recorded a loss on fuel derivatives of $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, compared to a gain of $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
We believe economic fuel expense is the best 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 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 hedge derivatives settled in the period inclusive
of costs related to hedging premiums. Economic fuel expense for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012 is calculated as follows:

Wages and Benefits
Wages and benefits expense increased by $12.6 million, or 14.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to an increase in the number of employees as we continue to expand our operations with additional aircraft and new routes.
We expect wages and benefits expense to increase in future periods as we continue to add additional employees for the expansion of our operations.
Aircraft Rent
Aircraft rent expense increased by $2.8 million, or 12.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to the addition of two aircraft under operating leases (one A330 aircraft in May 2012 and one A330 aircraft in February 2013).
We expect rent expense to increase in future periods as we expand our fleet if we add aircraft under operating leases.
Maintenance materials and repairs
Maintenance materials and repairs expense increased by $11.5 million, or 26.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to increased power-by-the-hour (PBH) expenses for the additional Airbus A330-200 aircraft in our fleet and increases in heavy maintenance expense on our Boeing 767-200 and Boeing 717-200 aircraft.
We expect maintenance materials and repairs expense to increase in future periods as we continue to integrate additional Airbus aircraft into revenue service, and as a result of price escalations imposed in certain of our PBH contracts.
Aircraft and passenger servicing
Aircraft and passenger servicing expenses increased by $7.7 million, or 36.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to volume-related increases as well as increased service costs on our International routes.
We expect aircraft and passenger servicing expenses to increase in future periods as we continue to expand our fleet and add additional routes.
Commissions and other selling
Commissions and other selling expenses increased by $4.4 million, or 14.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to increases in volume-related selling expenses, which include increased travel agency commissions and increases in the volume of tickets purchased through credit cards and global distribution systems.
We expect commissions and other selling expenses to increase in future periods as we continue to expand our fleet and add additional routes.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by 0.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to our frequent flyer marketing relationship intangible asset which was fully amortized as of December 31, 2012, which was offset by the increase in the number of owned aircraft (two A330-200 aircraft) and aircraft under a capital lease (one A330-200 aircraft) since March 31, 2012.
We expect depreciation and amortization expenses to increase in future periods as we continue to expand our fleet and add additional routes.
Other rentals and landing fees
Other rentals and landing fees expense decreased by $0.6 million, or 3.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to decreased rental and landing fee rates at our Honolulu station, partially offset by the addition of new routes since March 31, 2012.
We expect expenses for other rentals and landing fees to increase in future periods as we continue to add additional routes and increase frequency on our existing routes.
Other expense
Other expense increased by $7.5 million, or 21.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to increased personnel-related expenses, and increased expenses incurred on services outsourced to third-party vendors resulting from our continued expansion.
We expect other expenses to increase in future periods as we continue to expand our operations.
Operating Costs per Available Seat Mile (CASM)
We have listed separately in the table below our fuel costs per ASM and our non-GAAP unit costs, excluding fuel for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. These amounts are included in CASM, but for internal purposes we consistently use unit cost metrics that exclude fuel and non-recurring items (if applicable) to measure and monitor our costs.
CASM and CASM, excluding fuel, for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 are summarized in the table below:

Nonoperating Expense
For the three months ended March 31, 2013, net nonoperating expense increased to $15.5 million, from $1.0 million in the prior-year period. The increase in net nonoperating expense is primarily due to recognized losses on fuel derivatives during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to recognized gains on fuel derivatives during the prior-year period. Further increase in net nonoperating expense is due to interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs due to the additional financings we entered into subsequent to March 31, 2012.
Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
We had effective tax rates of 37.4% and 38.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We consider a variety of factors in determining the effective tax rate, including our forecasted full-year pretax results, the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, expected nondeductible expenses and estimated state taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is dependent on the cash we generate from operating activities and our debt financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2013, we had $438.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, representing an increase of $32.3 million from December 31, 2012. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, our restricted cash balance, which consisted of cash held as collateral by entities that process our credit card transactions for advance ticket sales, was $5.0 million.
We have been able to generate sufficient funds from our operations to meet our working capital requirements and typically finance our aircraft through secured debt and lease financings. At March 31, 2013, Hawaiian had approximately $648.2 million of debt and capital lease obligations, including approximately $105.5 million that will become due in the next 12 months. Hawaiian has a secured revolving credit facility (the Revolving Credit Facility) in an amount of up to $75.0 million, and as of March 31, 2013, we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility and $68.9 million available (net of various outstanding letters of credit).
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $72.5 million and $119.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 2012, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the decrease in net income (loss) from the prior-year period, and the reclassification from restricted cash to unrestricted due to the change in our credit card holdback during the quarter ended March 31, 2012, partially offset by an increase in our air traffic liability balance.
Net cash used in investing activities was $25.8 million and $102.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was due to the decrease in purchases of property and equipment and pre-delivery deposits for upcoming aircraft and engine deliveries, which also reflect proceeds of $33.0 million from the refund of pre-delivery deposits in connection with the operating lease for our Airbus A333-200 aircraft delivered in February 2013.
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities was $(14.4) million and $55.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. The decrease in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to the decrease in proceeds received from debt issuances and an increase in cash repayments for debt and capital lease obligations as compared to the prior-year period.
Capital Commitments
As of March 31, 2013, we had capital commitments for aircraft and aircraft related equipment which included firm aircraft orders for 12 wide-body Airbus A330-200 aircraft for delivery between 2013 and 2015, 16 narrow-body Airbus A321neo aircraft for delivery between 2017 and 2020, six Airbus A350XWB-800 aircraft for delivery beginning in 2017, and four Rolls Royce spare engines scheduled for delivery through 2020. In addition, Hawaiian has purchase rights for an additional three A330-200 aircraft, nine A321neo aircraft, and six A350-XWB aircraft. During April 2013, Hawaiian executed a purchase agreement for two Pratt and Whitney spare engines (for its Airbus A321neo aircraft) for delivery in 2017 and 2018, and the option to purchase an additional two spare engines. Committed expenditures for these aircraft, engines and related flight equipment approximates $358 million for the remainder of 2013, $429 million in 2014, $246 million in 2015, $148 million in 2016, $494 million in 2017 and $1.1 billion thereafter.
For the remainder of 2013, we expect our other non-aircraft related capital expenditures, which include software, improvements and ramp and maintenance equipment to total approximately $45 million to $55 million.
In order to complete the purchase of these aircraft and fund related costs, we must secure acceptable financing. We are currently exploring various financing alternatives, and while we believe that such financing will be available to us, there can be no assurance that financing will be available when required, or on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to secure such financing could have a material adverse effect on us.
We have secured financing commitments of $222 million for a portion of the purchase price of three upcoming aircraft deliveries, with expected delivery dates in the second quarter of 2013 (two Airbus A330s with committed financings totaling $157 million was delivered in April 2013). In addition, we have backstop financing available from aircraft and engine manufacturers, subject to certain customary conditions. See Note 9 for further detail regarding our aircraft facility and lease commitments.
Covenants under our Financing Arrangements
The terms of certain of our financing agreements restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, prepay indebtedness, make investments, make acquisitions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, repurchase stock and, in the case of Hawaiian, pay dividends or make distributions to the Company. These agreements also require us to meet certain financial covenants. These financial tests include maintaining a minimum amount of unrestricted cash and achieving certain levels of fixed charge coverage. As of March 31, 2013, we were in compliance with these covenants. If we are not able to comply with these covenants in the future, our outstanding obligations under these facilities could be accelerated and become due and payable immediately.
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. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, totaled $5.0 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If we are unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could also cause a covenant violation under other debt or lease obligations and have a material adverse impact on us.
Pension and Postemployment Benefit Plan Funding
We contributed $2.8 million to our defined benefit and other postretirement plans during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and expect to contribute an additional required minimum of $12.0 million during the remainder of 2013. Future funding requirements for our defined benefit plans are dependent upon many factors such as interest rates, funded status, applicable regulatory requirements and the level and timing of asset returns.

(1) Amounts represent contractual amounts due, including interest. Interest on variable-rate debt was estimated using rates in effect as of March 31, 2013. Amount reflects capital lease obligations for one Airbus A330-200 aircraft and two Boeing 717 aircraft.
(2) Amounts reflect leases for five Airbus A330-200 aircraft, nine Boeing 767 aircraft, one Boeing 717 aircraft and aircraft-related equipment as of March 31, 2013.
(3) Amounts include our firm commitments for aircraft and aircraft related equipment including aircraft orders consisting of 12 wide-body Airbus A330-200 aircraft, 16 narrow-body Airbus A321neo aircraft, six Airbus A350XWB-800 aircraft, four Rolls Royce spare engines and two Pratt and Whitney spare engines. We have secured financing commitments of $222 million for a portion of the purchase price of three Airbus A330-200 aircraft deliveries, with expected delivery dates in the second quarter of 2013 (two Airbus A330s with committed financings totaling $157 million were delivered in April 2013).
(4) Amounts include commitments for services provided by third-parties for aircraft maintenance for our Airbus fleet, accounting, IT and reservations. Total contractual obligations do not include long-term contracts where the commitment is variable in nature (with no minimum guarantee), such as aircraft maintenance deposits due under operating leases and fees due under certain other agreements such as aircraft maintenance power-by-the-hour, computer reservation systems and credit card processing agreements, or when the agreements contain short-term cancellation provisions.
(5) Amount includes our estimated contributions to our pension plans (based on actuarially determined estimates) and our pilots disability plan. Amounts are subject to change based on numerous factors, including interest rate levels, the amount and timing of asset returns and the impact of future legislation. We are currently unable to estimate the projected contributions beyond 2015.
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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. 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. For a detailed discussion of the application of our critical accounting policies, see Critical Accounting Policies and Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and current report on Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2013, respectively.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to certain market risks, including commodity price risk (i.e. jet fuel prices), interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. We have market-sensitive instruments in the form of variable-rate debt and financial derivatives used to offset Hawaiians exposure to jet fuel price increases, and financial hedge instruments used to hedge Hawaiians exposure to variable interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. The adverse effects of potential changes in these market risks are discussed below.
The sensitivity analyses presented do not consider the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity nor do they consider additional actions we might undertake to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results may differ.
Aircraft Fuel Costs
Aircraft fuel costs constitute a significant portion of our operating expense. Fuel costs represented 34.7% and 33.2% of our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and March 31, 2012, respectively. Based on gallons expected to be consumed for the remainder of 2013, for every one cent increase in the cost of a gallon of jet fuel, our fuel expense would increase by approximately $1.7 million.
We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in the prices of jet fuel. During 2013, we expect our fuel hedge program to primarily consist of Brent crude oil call options and collars (combinations of purchased call options and sold put options of crude oil). Call option contracts provide for a settlement in favor of the holder in the event the prices exceed a predetermined contractual level during a particular time period. Collars provide for a settlement in our favor in the event prices for the underlying commodity exceed a predetermined contractual level (the call option strike price) during a particular time period or a settlement may be required from us in favor of our counterparty in the event that prices of the commodity fall below a predetermined contractual level (the put option strike price).
The aforementioned fuel derivative agreements were not designated as hedges under ASC 815. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of these fuel derivative agreements reflected a net asset of $7.2 million that is recorded in prepaid expenses and other and a net asset of $2.3 million that is recorded in long-term prepayments and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We expect to continue our program of offsetting some of our future fuel consumption with a combination of futures contracts, swaps, calls, collars and other option-based structures.
We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. We are exposed to credit risks in the event our crude oil counterparties fail to meet their obligations; however, we do not expect these counterparties to fail to meet their obligations.
Interest Rates
Our results of operations are affected by fluctuations in interest rates due to our variable-rate debt and interest income earned on our cash deposits. Our variable-rate debt agreements include the Revolving Credit Facility and a secured loan agreement, the terms of which are discussed in Note 6 Debt to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our current report on Form 8-K filed on March 14, 2013.
At March 31, 2013, we had $61.4 million of variable-rate debt indexed to the following interest rate:
Index |
|
Rate |
|
One-month LIBOR |
|
0.2035 |
% |
Changes in market interest rates have a direct and corresponding effect on our pre-tax earnings and cash flows associated with our variable-rate debt and interest-bearing cash accounts. Based on the balances of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and variable-rate debt as of March 31, 2013, a change in interest rates is unlikely to have a material impact on our results of operations.
At March 31, 2013, we had $586.8 million of fixed-rate debt including aircraft capital lease obligations, convertible notes and facility agreements for aircraft purchases. Market risk for fixed-rate long-term debt is estimated as the potential increase in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, and amounted to approximately $3.4 million as of March 31, 2013.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013 we entered into two forward starting interest rate swap agreements to hedge the variability of future interest rate payments on our secured borrowings to finance a portion of the purchase price of two Airbus A330-200 aircraft (one fixed-rate and one variable-rate debt) with expected delivery during the three months ended June 30, 2013. In April 2013 the Company issued the variable-rate debt (secured by the A330-200 aircraft), where the variability of future interest payments are hedged by the forward starting swap. A hypothetical 10 percent decrease in the swap rates as of March 31, 2013 will not have a material impact on our results of operations for the remainder of 2013. These instruments are designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. See Note 5 Financial Derivative Instruments for further discussion over our interest rate swap hedges. As of December 31, 2012, we did not have any interest rate hedges.
Foreign Currency
We generate revenues and incur expenses in foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations through changes in the dollar value of foreign currency-denominated operating revenues and expenses. Our most significant foreign currency exposures are the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. Based on expected 2013 revenues and expenses dominated in Japanese Yen and Australian Dollars, a 10% strengthening in value of the U.S. dollar, relative to the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar, would result in a decrease in operating income of approximately $3.3 million and $10.3 million, respectively, which includes the offset of the hedges reflected below. The variance is due to our foreign currency denominated revenues exceeding our foreign currency denominated expenses.
The aforementioned foreign currency forwards were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. As of March 31, 2013, the fair value of our foreign currency forwards reflected a net asset of $2.8 million that is recorded in prepaid expenses and other in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

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, 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 March 31, 2013 and provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the 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
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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 systems 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.
We are not a party to any litigation that is expected to have a significant effect on our operations or business.
In addition to the risks identified elsewhere in this report, the following risk factors apply to our business, results of operations and financial conditions:
ECONOMIC RISKS
Our business is affected by global economic volatility.
Our business and results of operations are significantly impacted by general world-wide economic conditions. Demand for discretionary purchases including air travel and vacations to Hawaii, remains unpredictable. Deterioration in demand may result in a reduction in our passenger traffic and/or increased competitive pressure on fares in the markets we serve, resulting in a negative impact to our operations and financial condition. We cannot assure that we would be able to offset such revenue reductions by reducing our costs.
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. Fuel costs represented 34.5%, 31.5%, and 26.5% of Hawaiians operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively and 34.7% of Hawaiians operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, approximately 58% of our fuel was based on Singapore jet fuel prices, 35% was based on U.S. West Coast jet fuel prices and 7% on other jet fuel prices. As of March 31, 2013, Singapore jet fuel prices were $2.91 per gallon and U.S. West Coast jet fuel prices were $3.08 per gallon. Based on gallons expected to be consumed for the remainder of 2013, for every one cent change in the cost per gallon of jet fuel, Hawaiians annual fuel expense increases or decreases by approximately $1.7 million. The cost and availability of jet fuel remain volatile and are 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 at 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. 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 increase our fares or other fees to sufficiently offset increased fuel prices.
We enter into derivative agreements to protect against fuel price risk to provide an offset against rising fuel costs. These derivative instruments have not been designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. There is no assurance that such agreements will protect us against price volatility during unfavorable market conditions which may also expose us to counterparty credit risk. Also, if fuel prices fall significantly below the levels in existence at the time we enter into our hedging contracts, we may be required to post a significant amount of cash collateral, which could have an impact on the level of our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and adversely affect our liquidity.
Our business is highly dependent on tourism to, from and amongst the Hawaiian Islands and our financial results could suffer if there is a downturn in tourism levels.
Our principal base of operations is in Hawaii and our revenue is linked primarily to the number of travelers (mostly tourists) to, from and amongst the Hawaiian Islands. Hawaii tourism levels are affected by, among other things, the political and economic climate in Hawaiis main tourism markets, the availability of hotel accommodations, promotional spending by competing destinations, the popularity of Hawaii as a tourist destination relative to other vacation destinations and other global factors, including natural disasters, safety and security. From time to time, various events and industry specific problems such as strikes have had a negative impact on tourism in Hawaii. The occurrence of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, in Hawaii or other parts of the world, could also have a material adverse effect on Hawaii tourism. In addition, the potential or actual occurrence of terrorist attacks, wars such as those in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the threat of other negative world events have had, and may in the future again have, a material adverse effect on Hawaii tourism. No assurance can be given that the level of passenger traffic to Hawaii will not decline in the future. A decline in the level of Hawaii passenger traffic could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Our business is expanding internationally with approximately 30% of our passenger revenue from our International routes. Fluctuations in foreign currencies can significantly affect our results of operations and financial condition. To manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates, the Company periodically enters into foreign currency forward contracts, designated as cash flow hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. There is no assurance that such agreements will protect us against foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations during unfavorable market conditions which may also expose us to counterparty credit risk.
LIQUIDITY RISKS
See Item 2, Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations , for further information regarding our liquidity.
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 intend to obtain additional debt or lease financing for our upcoming aircraft deliveries. Additionally, we will face specific funding requirements upon the expiration of indebtedness related to the purchase of three previously leased Boeing 767-300 aircraft at the end of 2013 and with respect to our obligation under purchase agreements with Airbus to acquire wide-body A330-200 aircraft, A350XWB (Extra Wide Body) -800 aircraft and A321 narrow-body aircraft with expected delivery dates through 2020. Global credit market conditions remain unsettled, affecting the availability of financing and increasing the cost of financing that can be acquired. We can offer no assurance that the financing we need 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 reasonably terms, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.
Our substantial debt could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and include covenants that impose restrictions on our financial and business operations.
At December 31, 2012, our total debt, less debt discount, was $554.6 million, of which $489.8 million was fixed-rate debt. At March 31, 2013, our total debt, less debt discount, was $543.3 million, of which $481.9 million was fixed-rate debt. Our fixed-rate debt primarily consists of facility agreements for our aircraft purchases. Our substantial debt obligations may adversely affect our ability to incur additional debt in the future on acceptable terms or at all, which will impact our ability to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general purpose needs.
Our substantial debt and related covenants could:
· expose us to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
· 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;
· increase the volatility of the price of our common stock;
· 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; and
· place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to other less leveraged competitors and competitors with debt agreements on more favorable terms than us.
The terms of certain of our financing agreements restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, merge or consolidate, dispose of assets, prepay indebtedness, make investments, make acquisitions, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, repurchase stock and, in the case of Hawaiian, pay dividends or make distributions to the Company. These agreements also require us to meet certain financial covenants. If we breach any of these covenants it could result 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 our 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 us.
We could be 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. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in our Consolidated Balance Sheets set forth in the Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, totaled $5.0 million at December 31, 2012 and at March 31, 2013. 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 air traffic liability, 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 us.
Our obligations for funding our defined benefit pension plans are significant and are affected by factors beyond our control.
We sponsor three defined benefit pension plans, as well as a separate plan to administer pilots disability benefits. Two of the pension plans were frozen effective October 1, 1993, and our collective bargaining agreement with our pilots provides that pension benefit accruals for certain pilots were frozen effective January 1, 2008. Nevertheless, our unfunded pension and disability obligation was $193.3 million as of December 31, 2012. We made contributions of $19.4 million and $12.9 million for 2012 and 2011, respectively. We made contributions of $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, and anticipate funding $12.0 million (minimum required contribution) to the defined benefit pension and disability plans during the remainder of 2013. The timing and amount of funding requirements depend upon a number of factors, including labor negotiations and changes to pension plan benefits as well as factors outside our control, such as the number and demographic data of qualified retiring employees, asset returns, interest rates and changes in pension laws. These factors, along with the impact of results that can vary significantly from estimates, may significantly impact our funding requirements and have an 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 currently compete with other airlines on our Neighbor Island, North America and International routes. The commencement of, or increase in, service on our routes by existing or new carriers could negatively impact our operating results. Many of our competitors on our North America and International routes are larger and have greater financial resources and brand recognition than we do. Aggressive marketing tactics or a prolonged fare war initiated by one or more of these competitors could adversely affect our financial resources and our ability to compete in these markets.
Since airline markets have few natural barriers to entry, we also face the threat of new entrants in all of our markets, including competition from low-cost carriers (LCC). Allegiant Airlines, a LCC, launched flights from the West Coast to Hawaii in 2012 and Southwest Airlines has taken further steps to enable the carrier to provide service to Hawaii in the future, but has yet to formally announce the service. Furthermore, large network carriers have significantly reduced their costs and adjusted their routes to compete with LCCs in their existing markets by diverting resources to long-haul markets such as Hawaii, where LCC competition has been less severe. As a result, network carriers have reduced their costs of operation and increased capacity in the Hawaii market. Additional capacity to Hawaii, whether from network carriers or LCCs, could result in a decrease in our share of the markets in which we operate, a decline in our yields, or both, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Airline bankruptcy restructuring, strategic combinations or industry consolidation could have an impact on our competitive environment.
In recent years, many of our competitors have dramatically reduced operating costs through a combination of bankruptcy restructuring, industry consolidation and vendor and labor negotiations to increase market strength. Several domestic airlines were able to reduce labor costs, restructure debt and lease agreements and implement other financial improvements through the bankruptcy process. In addition, certain of our competitors have merged to create larger and more financially sound airlines. Through consolidation, carriers have the opportunity to achieve cost reductions by eliminating redundancy in their networks and operating structures. With reduced costs, these competitors are more capable of operating profitably in an environment of reduced fares and may, as a result, increase service in our primary markets or reduce fares to attract additional customers. Because airline customers are price sensitive, we cannot assure that we will be able to attract a sufficient number of customers at sufficiently high fare levels to generate profitability, or that we will be able to reduce our operating costs sufficiently to remain competitive with these other airlines.
The concentration of our business in Hawaii, and between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland, provides little diversification of our revenue.
Approximately 45% of our passenger revenue is generated from air transportation between the Hawaiian Islands and the U.S. mainland and within the Hawaiian Islands. Many of our competitors, particularly major network carriers with whom we compete on our North America routes, enjoy greater geographical diversification of their revenue. A reduction in the level of demand for travel within Hawaii, or to Hawaii from the U.S. mainland, or an increase in the level of industry capacity on these routes may reduce the revenue we are able to generate and adversely affect our financial results. As these routes account for a significantly higher proportion of our revenue than they do for many of our competitors, such a reduction would have a relatively greater adverse effect on our financial results.
Our business is affected by the competitive advantages held by network carriers in the North America market.
The majority of competition on our North America routes is from network carriers such as Alaska, American, Delta, United and US Airways. Network carriers have a number of competitive advantages that may enable them to offer lower fares and attract higher customer traffic levels as compared to us:
· Network carriers generate passenger traffic from and throughout the U.S. mainland. 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 (jetBlue, Virgin America Airlines, etc.) to provide customers access to and from North America 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 frequent 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 built-in market. Passengers in the North America market, for the most part, do not originate in Honolulu, but rather on the U.S. mainland, making Honolulu primarily a destination rather than an origin of passenger traffic.
Our Neighbor Island market is affected by narrow body competition from regional carriers.
Approximately 25% of our passenger revenue is generated from our Neighbor Island routes. Our competitors on these routes include regional carriers which provide service amongst the Hawaiian Islands including service between Oahu, Maui, Hawaii, Molokai, Kauai and Lanai. Although we enjoy a competitive position on the Neighbor Island service, increased competition is possible. For example, Island Air recently announced its intent to increase capacity on travel throughout the Neighbor Island routes with lease
commitments for six additional aircraft. We have also recently purchased two turboprop aircraft to expand our Neighbor Island network to areas we currently do not serve and to meet the travel demands of our passengers. However, a decline in our share of the Neighbor Island market due to increased capacity provided by our competitors could 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.
Approximately 30% of our revenue is generated from our International routes. 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 offer lower fares and attract higher customer traffic levels as compared to us:
· Many of our domestic competitors have joined airline alliances, including SkyTeam, Star Alliance and Oneworld, none of which we participate in, which provide customers access to each participating airlines 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. We currently do not participate in a world-wide airline alliance or any joint ventures, which may negatively impact our market share and operations as capacity provided by our competitors increase. To mitigate this risk, we rely on code-share agreements with partner airlines to provide customers access to international destinations currently unserved by us.
· Many of our foreign competitors such as Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Qantas, Korean Air and Philippine Airlines, are network carriers that generate passenger traffic throughout International routes that we service. 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 Hawaii, but rather internationally, in these foreign markets home base. We also rely on our code-sharing agreements (All Nippon Airways, Korean Air, Virgin Australia, etc.) and our relationships with travel agencies and wholesale distributors to provide customers access to and from International destinations currently unserved by us.
STRATEGY AND BRAND RISKS
Our failure to successfully implement our growth strategy and related cost-reduction goals could harm our business.
Our growth strategy includes initiatives to increase revenue, decrease costs, expand our existing markets and initiate service on new routes and markets that we currently do not serve in the U.S. and internationally. It is critical that we achieve our growth strategy in order for our business to attain economies of scale and to sustain or improve our results of operations. If we are unable to utilize and fill increased capacity provided by additional aircraft entering our fleet, hire and retain skilled personnel, secure the required equipment and facilities in a cost-effective manner, or obtain the necessary regulatory approvals, we may not be able to successfully implement our growth strategy into new and existing markets in the U.S. and internationally, and our business and operations could be adversely affected.
We continue to strive toward aggressive cost-containment goals which are an important 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 growth strategy and take advantage of market opportunities. If we are unable to adequately contain our non-fuel unit costs, we likely will not be able to achieve our growth plan and our financial results may suffer.
Our reputation and financial results could be harmed in the event of adverse publicity, including the event of an aircraft accident.
Our customer base is broad and our business activities have significant prominence, particularly in Hawaii and other destinations we serve. Consequently, negative publicity resulting from real or perceived shortcomings in our customer service, employee relations, business conduct, or other events affecting our operations could negatively affect the public image of our company and the willingness of customers to purchase services from us, which could affect our revenue and financial results.
Additionally, we are exposed to potential losses that may be incurred in the event of an aircraft accident. Any such accident could involve not only the repair or replacement of a damaged aircraft and its consequential temporary or permanent loss of revenue, but also significant potential claims of injured passengers and others. We are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (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 the 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.
Our failure to successfully implement our turboprop operations may impact our financial and business operations.
In 2012, we purchased and took delivery of two ATR42 turboprop aircraft with service to new Neighbor Island routes previously unserved by us to begin in 2013. We cannot be assured that we will successfully implement our turboprop operations in a timely and cost-efficient manner and comply with all applicable state and operational regulations. New entrants or changes to existing competition on these Neighbor Island routes currently unserved by us could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
FLEET AND FLEET-RELATED RISKS
We are dependent on a limited number of suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines and parts.
We are dependent on The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Airbus S.A.S. (Airbus) as our primary suppliers of aircraft and aircraft-related items. As a result, we are vulnerable to any problems associated with the supply of those aircraft and parts which could result in increased parts and maintenance costs in future years.
Our agreements to purchase Airbus A330-200, A350XWB-800 and A321neo aircraft significantly increases our future financial commitments and operating costs and creates implementation risk associated with the transition from our existing Boeing 767-300 fleet.
As of March 31, 2013, our firm aircraft orders consisted of 12 A330-200 aircraft for delivery between 2013 and 2015, six A350XWB-800 aircraft for delivery beginning in 2017 and 16 A321neo aircraft for delivery beginning in 2017, along with purchase rights for an additional three A330-200 aircraft, six A350XWB-800 aircraft and nine A321neo aircraft. We have made substantial pre-delivery payments for the purchased aircraft and are required to continue these pre-delivery payments as well as payments for the balance of the purchase price through delivery of each aircraft. These commitments substantially increase our future capital spending requirements and will require us to significantly increase our level of debt in future years. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise capital to finance these requirements or that such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, or at all.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we executed a purchase agreement with Airbus for the purchase of 16 A321neo aircraft scheduled for delivery between 2017 and 2020, along with purchase rights for an additional nine aircraft. This commitment will substantially increase our future capital spending requirements and level of debt in future years, and we will be required to make substantial pre-delivery payments through the delivery date of each aircraft. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise capital to finance these requirements or that such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, or at all.
The Airbus aircraft will replace expiring leased and retiring Boeing 767-300 aircraft in future years. Although we do not expect to incur significant lease return costs, we cannot be assured that such costs will not exceed our expectations and adversely impact our results of operations and liquidity.
The addition of the Airbus aircraft to our fleet will require us to incur additional costs related to the acquisition of spare engines and replacement parts, maintenance of the aircraft, training of crews and ground employees, the addition of these aircraft types to our operating certificate and other implementation activities. There can be no assurance that we will be able to recover these costs through the future operation of these aircraft in our fleet or that we will not experience delays in the implementation process which could adversely affect our operations or financial performance.
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 mentioned above, we have contractual commitments to purchase and integrate Airbus aircraft into our fleet. If for any reason we are unable to secure deliveries of the Airbus aircraft on contractually scheduled delivery dates and successfully introduce these aircraft into our fleet, then our business, operations and financial performance could be negatively impacted. Our failure to integrate newly purchased Airbus aircraft into our fleet as planned may require us to seek extensions on our existing leased aircraft. 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.
COMMON STOCK RISKS
Our share price is subject to fluctuations and stockholders could have difficulty trading shares.
The market price of our stock is influenced by many factors, a number of which are outside of our control, and include the following:
· operating results and financial condition;
· changes in the competitive environment in which we operate;
· fuel price volatility including the availability of fuel;
· announcements concerning our competitors including bankruptcy filings, mergers, restructurings or acquisitions by other airlines;
· increases or changes in government regulation;
· general and industry specific market conditions;
· changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; and
· sales of our common stock or other actions by investors with significant 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 the companys stock price. This type of litigation, if filed against us, could result in substantial costs and divert our managements 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 the shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that the trading price of our common stock will remain at or near its current level.
The issuance of common stock upon conversion of convertible notes could cause dilution to the interests of our existing stockholders.
As of December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, we had $86.25 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding. Upon conversion, we will have the right, at our election, to pay or deliver cash, shares of our common stock or a combination thereof. Holders may convert their convertible notes at their option at any time prior to November 15, 2015, if specific conditions are met. Holders may require us to repurchase all or a portion of the convertible notes upon a fundamental change, primarily a change in control or a termination of trading, at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the convertible notes plus accrued and unpaid interest. The number of shares issued could be significant and such an issuance could cause significant dilution to the interests of the existing stockholders. In addition, if we elect to pay the repurchase price in cash, our liquidity could be adversely affected.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THIRD-PARTY RISKS
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 systems, all of which must be able to accommodate high traffic volumes, maintain secure information and provide accurate flight information, as well as process critical financial related transactions. Any substantial or repeated failures of these systems could negatively affect our customer service, compromise the security of customer information, result in the loss of important data, loss of revenue and increased costs, and generally harm our business. 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 threats, 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. 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.
If we do not maintain the privacy and security of customer-related information, we could damage our reputation, incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation.
We receive, retain, and transmit certain personal information about our customers. In addition, our online operation at www.hawaiianairlines.com relies on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks, including credit card information. A compromise of our physical and network security systems through a cybersecurity attack, including those of our business partners, may threaten our customers personal information being obtained by unauthorized persons, which could adversely affect our reputation, as well as negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity, and could result in the imposition of penalties or litigation against us. In addition, a cybersecurity breach could require that we expend significant additional resources related to the security of information systems which could result in a disruption of our operations.
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.
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. As part of our cost-reduction efforts, our reliance on outside vendors has increased and may continue to do so in the future.
The failure of any of our third-party service providers to adequately perform our service obligations, or other interruptions of services, may reduce our revenues, increase expenses, and prevent us from operating our flights and providing other services to our customers. In addition, our business and financial performance could 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 airlines results of operations. Labor and related benefit costs represented approximately 21% of our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 and 20% of our operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Approximately 87% of our workforce was unionized at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013. We may make strategic and operational decisions that require the consent of one or more of our labor unions, and cannot assure you that these labor unions will not require 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. Currently, we are not in negotiations with respect to any of our existing collective bargaining agreements. We cannot assure you that future agreements with our employees 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 us. If we are unable to reach an agreement with any unionized work group, we may be subject to future work interruptions and/or stoppages, which may hamper or halt operations.
Our operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel and key executives, including our Chief Executive Officer.
We are dependent on the knowledge and expertise of our key executives, particularly Mark B. Dunkerley, our Chief Executive Officer, who signed an amended and restated employment agreement in November 2012 for employment through January 1, 2017. Our ability to attract and retain such personnel in the airline industry is highly competitive, and we cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our Chief Executive Officer or other key executives or that we can attract other qualified personnel in the future. Any inability to retain our Chief Executive Officer and other key executives, or attract and retain additional qualified executives, could have a negative impact on our operations.
In addition, as we continue to expand our operations through the acquisition of new aircraft and introduction of service to new markets, it may be challenging to attract qualified personnel including pilots, mechanics, flight attendants 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.
AIRLINE INDUSTRY, REGULATION AND RELATED COSTS RISKS
The airline industry has substantial operating leverage and is affected by many conditions that are beyond its control, including delays, cancellations and other conditions, which could harm our financial condition and results of operations.
The airline industry operates on low gross profit margins consisting of a high percentage of fixed costs. Due to these fixed costs, the expense incurred on each flight does not vary proportionately with 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 would cause a corresponding decrease in revenue (if not offset by higher fares), and it may result in a disproportionately greater decrease in profits. Therefore, any general reduction in airline passenger traffic as a result of any of the following or other factors, which are largely outside of our control, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations:
· continued threat of terrorist attacks and conflicts overseas;
· actual or threatened war and political instability;
· adverse weather and natural disasters;
· changes in consumer preferences, perceptions or spending patterns;
· increased costs related to security and safety measures;
· outbreak of contagious diseases; and
· actual or potential disruptions in the air traffic control system.
Our results from operations may be volatile subject to the conditions identified above. We cannot assure you that our financial resources will be sufficient to absorb the effects of any of these unexpected factors should they arise.
Our business is subject to substantial seasonal and cyclical volatility.
Our results of operations will reflect the impact of seasonal volatility primarily due to passenger leisure and holiday travel patterns. As Hawaii 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. As we enter new markets, we could be subject to additional seasonal variations. 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. Additional 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 or reduce revenue. For example, the Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA), which became law in November 2001, mandates the federalization of certain airport security procedures and imposes additional security requirements on airlines. The Federal Aviation and 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. Under DOT regulations effective January 2012, all taxes and fees imposed by the government must be disclosed in fares charged to customers. Also, in January 2012, the DOT announced new flight crew rest rules which require mandatory rest periods for airline flight crews, including flight attendants and pilots for both traditional scheduled service and charter operations, to prevent fatigue on flights. This rule is effective as of January 2014; however, we have started to implement crew rest pods in our Airbus aircraft that provide long-haul service exceeding the minimum rest requirement rules. We expect to continue incurring expenses to comply with applicable regulations. We cannot predict the impact that laws or regulations may have on our operations or assure you that laws or regulations enacted in the future will not adversely affect us.
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 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. Future regulatory developments in the U.S. and abroad could adversely affect operations and increase operating costs in the airline industry. For example, potential future actions that may be taken by the U.S. government, foreign governments, or the International Civil Aviation Organization to limit the emission of greenhouse gases by the aviation sector are unknown at this time, but the effect on us and our industry is likely to be adverse and could be significant. The U.S. Congress is considering climate change legislation and the Environmental Protection Agency issued a rule which regulates larger emitters of greenhouse gases. We cannot predict the impact that future environment regulations may have on our operations or assure you that regulations enacted in the future will not adversely affect us. The 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 upper atmosphere or have a greater impact on climate change than other industries.
In addition to extensive government regulations, the Airline industry is dependent on certain services provided by government agencies (DOT, FAA, etc.). For example, spending restrictions due to federal sequestration of air traffic controllers in the United States subject to furlough may lead to a reduction in air traffic control services. A reduction in such services could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Our operations may be adversely affected by our expansion into non-U.S. jurisdictions and the related increase in laws to which we are subject.
The expansion of our operations into non-U.S. jurisdictions has expanded the scope of the laws to which we are subject, both domestically and internationally. In addition, operations in non-U.S. jurisdictions are in many cases subject to the laws of those jurisdictions rather than U.S. laws. Laws in some jurisdictions differ in significant respects from those in the United States, and these differences can affect our ability to react to changes in our business. Further, enforcement of laws in some jurisdictions can be inconsistent and unpredictable, which can affect our ability to enforce our rights and to undertake activities that we believe are beneficial to our business. As a result, our ability to generate revenue and the expenses paid in non-U.S. jurisdictions may differ from what would be expected if U.S. law governed these operations.
Our financial results may be negatively affected by increased airport rent rates and landing fees at the airports within the State of Hawaii as a result of the States modernization plan.
The State of Hawaii 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 to the airports funding mechanism. Therefore, costs related to the modernization program will have a greater impact on our operations as compared to our competitors, who 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 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 that the amount of such coverage will not be changed 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.
After the events of September 11, 2001, aviation insurers significantly reduced the maximum amount of insurance coverage available to commercial air carriers for liability to persons other than employees or passengers for claims resulting from acts of terrorism, war or similar events (war-risk coverage). At the same time, they significantly increased the premiums for such coverage as well as for aviation insurance in general. As a result, war-risk insurance in amounts necessary for our operations, and at premiums that are not excessive, is not currently available in the commercial insurance market and we have therefore purchased from the U.S. government third- party war-risk insurance coverage. Should the government discontinue this coverage, obtaining comparable coverage from commercial underwriters could result in substantially higher premiums and more restrictive terms, if it is available at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate war-risk insurances our business could be materially and adversely affected.

proof that the claimed defect is due to a matter embraced within the Lessors warranty under this Paragraph 12.9 and that such defect did not result from any act or omission of the Lessee, including but not limited to any failure to operate or maintain the Leased Part claimed to be defective or the Aircraft in which it was installed in accordance with applicable governmental regulations and the Lessors applicable written instructions.
12.9.5 Limitation of Warranty
The Lessees remedy and the Lessors obligation and liability under this Paragraph 12.9 with respect to each defect are limited to the repair of such defect in the Leased Part in which the defect appears, or, as mutually agreed, to the replacement of such Leased Part with a similar part free from defect .
Any replacement part furnished under this Paragraph 12.9.5 will for the purposes of this Letter Agreement be deemed to be the Leased Part so replaced.
12.9.6 Suspension and Transportation Costs
12.9.6.1 If a Leased Part is found to be defective and is covered by this warranty, the Lease Term and the Lessees obligation to pay rental charges as provided in Paragraph 12.4(a) of this Letter Agreement will be suspended from the date on which the Lessee notifies the Lessor of such defect until the date on which the Lessor has repaired, corrected or replaced the defective Leased Part, provided, however, that the Lessee has withdrawn such defective Leased Part from use, promptly after giving such notice to the Lessor. If the defective Leased Part is replaced, such replacement will be deemed to no longer be a Leased Part under the Lease as of the date on which such part was received by the Lessor at the return location specified in the applicable Lease.
If a Leased Part is found to be defective on first use by the Lessee and is covered by this warranty, rental charges as provided in Paragraph 12.4(a) will not accrue and will not be payable by the Lessee until the date on which the Lessor has repaired, corrected or replaced the defective Leased Part.
12.9.6.2 All transportation and insurance costs associated with the return of the defective Leased Part to the Lessor and the return of the repaired, corrected or replacement part to the Lessee will be borne by the Lessor.
12.9.7 Wear and Tear
Normal wear and tear and the need for regular maintenance and overhaul will not constitute a defect or nonconformance under this Paragraph 12.9.

HAWAIIAN HOLDINGS, INC.
3375 Koapaka Street, Suite G-350
Honolulu, HI 96819
February 7, 2013
Mark Dunkerley
Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.
Dear Mark:
Pursuant to the Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) hereby grants to you a performance-based restricted stock unit covering 160,698 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01, (the 2013 Type A RSU Award), subject to the conditions described in this letter and in your amended and restated employment agreement of November 15, 2012 (the Employment Agreement).
The shares subject to this restricted stock unit are not actual shares of Common Stock, but a promise to deliver actual shares in the future and are credited to an unfunded bookkeeping account maintained by the Company. This 2013 Type A RSU Award is subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. This 2013 Type A RSU Award is also subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth herein or in the Plan or Employment Agreement, as applicable.
Subject to your continued employment with the Company, including its Subsidiaries, and further subject to the Committees certifying, prior to payment, that the 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric, as such term is defined herein, has been achieved, the shares subject to this 2013 Type A RSU Award shall vest as to 53, 566 shares on February 7, 2014, as to an additional 53,566 shares on February 7, 2015 and as to the remaining 53,566 shares on February 7, 2016. The 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric is the Company achieving pre-tax net profits, determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, of at least $1,000,000 over any two consecutive Company fiscal quarters that begin after February 7, 2013 and prior to January 1, 2017 (the 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric). In the event that the 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric has not been achieved as of any vesting date, that tranche of 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit shall still be eligible to vest and shall vest on the date, if any, of the Committees written certification, which the Committee shall be obligated to provide within sixty (60) days following the achievement of the 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric, so long as achievement of the 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric is not after January 1, 2017.
In addition to the vesting schedule provided above, this 2013 Type A RSU Award is subject to the accelerated vesting and payment provisions specified in the Employment Agreement.
The shares subject to the 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit will be distributed to you on the first Distribution Date following each vesting date, but in no event later than the 409A Limit (as such terms are defined in your Employment Agreement) .
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of your restricted stock units is accelerated in connection with your termination of employment (provided that such termination is a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), and if (x) you are a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination and (y) the payment of such accelerated restricted stock units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to you on or within the six (6) month period following your termination of employment, then the payment of such accelerated restricted stock units otherwise payable to you during such six (6) month period will accrue and will be paid to you on the first Distribution Date (but in no event later than the 409A Limit) following the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of your termination of employment, unless you die following your termination of employment, in which case, the restricted stock units will be paid in shares of Common Stock to your estate as soon as practicable following your death. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the restricted stock units provided under this Agreement or shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt.
Any dividends paid on the stock underlying this 2013 Type A RSU Award, whether in stock or in cash, shall be credited to the shares underlying this 2013 Type A RSU Award, and will be subject to the same conditions as the shares subject to the 2013 Type A RSU Award.
Except as set forth above, you will have no shareholder rights with respect to the restricted stock unit shares until the applicable payment date. The Company may impose any conditions on the restricted stock unit shares as it deems necessary or advisable to ensure that all rights granted under the Plan satisfy the requirements of applicable securities laws. The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares if such action violates any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or national securities exchange.
You may elect to personally satisfy any tax withholding that may be due with respect to delivery of the shares subject to this 2013 Type A RSU Award, provided that you (or your beneficiary or estate, if applicable) must give written notice to the Company of such election on or prior to each vesting date. If no such election has been made, then you will be entitled to receive a number of shares net of any required tax withholding. In either such case, the Company will issue certificates for the shares of Common Stock, as promptly as possible after satisfaction of the required tax withholding.
You should sign and return a copy of this letter to Hoyt Zia, the Companys General Counsel.

HAWAIIAN HOLDINGS, INC.

Mark Dunkerley
Hawaiian Airlines, Inc.
Dear Mark:
Pursuant to the Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan), the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the Committee) hereby grants to you a performance-based restricted stock unit (the 2013 Type B RSU Award) covering a target of 80,349 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01, (the Target Award) with a maximum payout of 120,524 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.01 (the Maximum Award), subject to the conditions described in this letter and in your amended and restated employment agreement of November 15, 2012 (the Employment Agreement).
The shares subject to this restricted stock unit are not actual shares of Common Stock, but a promise to deliver actual shares in the future and are credited to an unfunded bookkeeping account maintained by the Company. This 2013 Type B RSU Award is subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Plan, which are incorporated herein by reference. This 2013 Type B RSU Award is also subject to the terms and conditions of the Employment Agreement, which are incorporated herein by reference. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth herein or in the Plan or Employment Agreement, as applicable.
Subject to your continued employment with the Company, including its Subsidiaries, this Type B RSU Award shall vest, if at all, as to one-third of the covered shares on each of February 7, 2014 February 7, 2015 and February 7, 2016. Fractional shares that vest shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share; provided that in no event may more shares vest than are subject to the earned portion of the award. None of the shares subject to this 2013 Type B RSU Award shall be delivered to you unless the 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric (as such term is defined in the 2013 Type A Restricted Stock Unit award letter of even date herewith) has been achieved prior to the date of the first regularly scheduled Committee meeting following February 7, 2016 (but in no event later than sixty (60) days thereafter) (the Post-Performance Period Compensation Committee Meeting), and has been certified by the Committee on or prior to the Post-Performance Period Compensation Committee Meeting, and (ii) shall be delivered only to the extent the 2013 Type B Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric, as such term is defined herein, has been achieved during the period commencing on February 7, 2013 and ending on February 7, 2016 (the 2013 Type B Restricted Stock Unit Performance Period) and has been certified by the Committee at the Post-Performance Period Compensation Committee Meeting. The 2013 Type B Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric is based on the Companys relative total stockholder return, which is determined by the Companys 30-trading day trailing volume-weighted average stock price on February 7, 2016, divided by such price as
determined on February 7, 2013, i.e., $6.22, (the TSR and such three-year period, the Performance Period), in relation to the TSR of certain other companies. The Companys TSR will be ranked in comparison to the TSRs of: Allegiant Travel Company, Delta Airlines, Inc., United Continental Holdings, Republic Airways Holdings, Inc., US Airways Group, Inc. Southwest Airlines Co., Alaska Air Group, Inc., JetBlue Airways Corporation, SkyWest, Inc., and Spirit Airlines, Inc. (the Carriers). 100% of the target Shares become eligible to vest if the Companys TSR achieves or ties at the fourth, fifth or sixth rank among the Carriers. The following percentage of the target Shares will become eligible to vest upon achievement of the following ranks with respect to the Companys TSR relative to the Carriers TSRs: the maximum of 150% of target Shares upon achieving or tying at the first rank among the Carriers; 130% of target Shares upon achieving or tying at the second rank among the Carriers; 120% of target Shares upon achieving or tying at the third rank among the Carriers; 70% of target Shares upon achieving or tying at the seventh rank among the Carriers; 40% of target Shares upon achieving or tying at the eighth rank among the Carriers; and no Shares upon achieving or tying at, or below, the ninth rank among the Carriers (the 2013 Type B Restricted Stock Unit Performance Metric).
In addition to the vesting schedule provided above, this 2013 Type B RSU Award is subject to the accelerated vesting and payment provisions specified in the Employment Agreement.
The number of shares determined to be delivered by the Committee pursuant to this Type B RSU Award will be paid on the first Distribution Date following the Post-Performance Period Compensation Committee Meeting, but in no event later than the 409A Limit (as such terms are defined in your Employment Agreement).
Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or this Agreement to the contrary, if the vesting of your restricted stock units is accelerated in connection with your termination of employment (provided that such termination is a separation from service within the meaning of Section 409A, as determined by the Company), and if (x) you are a specified employee within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of such termination and (y) the payment of such accelerated restricted stock units will result in the imposition of additional tax under Section 409A if paid to you on or within the six (6) month period following your termination of employment, then the payment of such accelerated restricted stock units otherwise payable to you during such six (6) month period will accrue and will be paid to you on the first Distribution Date (but in no event later than the 409A Limit) following the date six (6) months and one (1) day following the date of your termination of employment, unless you die following your termination of employment, in which case, the restricted stock units will be paid in shares of Common Stock to your estate as soon as practicable following your death. It is the intent of this Agreement to comply with, or be exempt from, the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the restricted stock units provided under this Agreement or shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply or be exempt.
Any dividends paid on the stock underlying this award, whether in stock or in cash, shall be credited to the shares underlying this award, and will be subject to the same conditions as the shares subject to the award.
Except as set forth above, you will have no shareholder rights with respect to the restricted stock unit shares until the applicable payment date. The Company may impose any conditions on the restricted stock unit shares as it deems necessary or advisable to ensure that all rights granted under the Plan satisfy the requirements of applicable securities laws. The Company shall not be obligated to issue or deliver any shares if such action violates any provision of any law or regulation of any governmental authority or national securities exchange.
You may elect to personally satisfy any tax withholding that may be due with respect to delivery of the shares subject to this award, provided that you (or your beneficiary or estate, if applicable) must give written notice to the Company of such election on or prior to each vesting date. If no such election has been made, then you will be entitled to receive a number of shares net of any required tax withholding. In either such case, the Company will issue certificates for the shares of Common Stock, as promptly as possible after satisfaction of the required tax withholding.
You should sign and return a copy of this letter to Hoyt Zia, the Companys General Counsel.
