UNITED CONTINENTAL HOLDINGS, INC.,

UNITED AIR LINES, INC. AND CONTINENTAL AIRLINES, INC.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

United Continental Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UAL”) is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiaries are United Air Lines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “United”) and Continental Airlines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Continental”). All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of UAL, United and Continental. We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” for disclosures that relate to all of UAL, United and Continental. As UAL consolidates United and Continental for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to United and Continental activities also apply to UAL. When appropriate, UAL, United and Continental are named specifically for their related activities and disclosures.

Interim Financial Statements. The UAL, United and Continental unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shown here have been prepared as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC. The financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. These reclassifications were made to conform the financial statement presentation of UAL, United and Continental. The UAL, United and Continental financial statements should be read together with the information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Annual Report”). UAL’s quarterly financial data is subject to seasonal fluctuations and historically its second and third quarter financial results, which reflect higher travel demand, are better than its first and fourth quarter financial results.

NOTE 1—FREQUENT FLYER AND PASSENGER REVENUE ACCOUNTING

Frequent Flyer Awards. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company updated its estimated selling price for miles to the contractual rate at which we sell miles to our Star Alliance partners participating in reciprocal frequent flyer programs. This change in estimate has been applied prospectively effective January 1, 2012.

United and Continental account for miles sold and awarded that will never be redeemed by program members, which the Company refers to as “breakage,” using the redemption method. UAL reviews its breakage estimates annually based upon the latest available information regarding redemption and expiration patterns. The Company re-evaluated its population breakage estimates for Continental OnePass miles, which were previously not subject to an expiration policy, and increased the estimate of miles in the population expected to ultimately expire. As a result, the rate at which we recognize redeemed miles has increased.

The Company’s estimate of the expected expiration of miles requires significant management judgment. Current and future changes to expiration assumptions, the expiration policy, program rules or program redemption opportunities may result in material changes to the deferred revenue balance as well as recognized revenues from the Company’s frequent flyer program.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the combined net impact of these changes to UAL, United and Continental were not material.

Passenger Revenue Accounting. The Company records an estimate of breakage revenue on the flight date for tickets that will expire unused. These estimates are based on the evaluation of actual historical results. During the three months ended September 30, 2012, Continental revised its estimate of breakage resulting in a reduction of passenger revenue of approximately $60 million.

NOTE 2—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04 (“ASU 2011-04”), Fair Value Measurement: Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. Some of the key amendments to the fair value measurement guidance include the highest and best use and valuation premise for nonfinancial assets, application to financial assets and financial liabilities with offsetting positions in market risks or counterparty credit risk, premiums or discounts in fair value measurement and fair value of an instrument classified in a reporting entity’s shareholders’ equity. Additional disclosures for fair value measurements categorized in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy include a quantitative disclosure of the unobservable inputs and assumptions used in the measurement, a description of the valuation processes in place, a narrative description of the sensitivity of the fair value to changes in unobservable inputs and interrelationships between those inputs and the level in the fair value hierarchy of

items that are not measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet but whose fair value must be disclosed. ASU 2011-04 became effective for the Company’s annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2012, and the required disclosures are disclosed in Note 6 of this report.

The Company is obligated to issue an additional $62.5 million of the 8% Notes by February 2013, which are also redeemable on the same terms as the 6% Senior Notes and the other 8% Notes. These notes are not included in the diluted earnings (loss) per share calculation because it is UAL’s intent to redeem these notes with cash if UAL were to decide to redeem these notes.

Table of Contents

During the second quarter of 2011, UAL repurchased at par value approximately $570 million of the $726 million outstanding principal amount of its 4.5% Senior Limited-Subordination Convertible Notes due 2021 (the “4.5% Notes”) with cash after the 4.5% Notes were put to UAL by the noteholders. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the dilutive effect of the 4.5% Notes was excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations from the date that notice was given of the Company’s intent to pay the notes put to it in cash up to the June 30, 2011 repurchase date.

NOTE 4—INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rates are lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily because of the impact of changes to existing valuation allowances. We continue to provide a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities because we have concluded that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will ultimately not be realized.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income (including the reversals of deferred tax liabilities) during the periods in which those deferred tax assets will become deductible. The Company’s management assesses available positive and negative evidence regarding the realizability of its deferred tax assets, and records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. To form a conclusion, management considers positive evidence in the form of reversing temporary differences, projections of future taxable income and tax planning strategies, and negative evidence such as recent history of losses. Although the Company was no longer in a three-year cumulative loss position at the end of 2011, management determined that the size and frequency of financial losses in recent years and the uncertainty associated with projecting future taxable income supported the conclusion that the valuation allowance was still needed on net deferred tax assets. If UAL achieves significant profitability in 2012 and the economic and industry outlook supports a continued expectation of profitability, then management will evaluate whether its recent history of profitability constitutes sufficient positive evidence to support a reversal of a portion, or all, of the remaining valuation allowance.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Continental contributed $167 million to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans. Continental contributed an additional $41 million to its tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans in October 2012.

Share-Based Compensation. In February 2012, UAL granted share-based compensation awards pursuant to the United Continental Holdings, Inc. 2008 Incentive Compensation Plan. These share-based compensation awards include approximately 0.5 million shares of restricted stock and 0.6 million restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that vest pro-rata over three years on the anniversary of the grant date. In addition, UAL granted 1.3 million performance-based RSUs that will vest based on UAL’s return on invested capital for the three years ending December 31, 2014. If this performance condition is achieved, cash payments will be made after the end of the performance period based on the 20-day average closing price of UAL common stock immediately prior to the vesting date. The Company accounts for the RSUs as liability awards. The table below presents information related to share-based compensation (in millions):

Includes $3 million and $12 million of expense recognized in integration-related costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.

Profit Sharing Plans. In 2012, substantially all employees participate in profit sharing, which pays 15% of total pre-tax earnings, excluding special items and share-based compensation expense, to eligible employees when pre-tax profit, excluding special items, profit sharing expense and share-based compensation program expense, exceeds $10 million. Eligible U.S. co-workers in each participating work group receive a profit sharing payout using a formula based on the ratio of each qualified co-worker’s annual eligible earnings to the eligible earnings of all qualified co-workers in all domestic workgroups. The international profit sharing plan pays eligible non-U.S. co-workers the same percentage of eligible pay that is calculated under the U.S. profit sharing plan. Profit sharing expense is recorded as a component of salaries and related costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

The earnings impact is classified in “Nonoperating income (expense)—Miscellaneous, net” in Continental’s statements of consolidated operations.

As of September 30, 2012, Continental’s auction rate securities, which had a par value of $135 million, were variable-rate debt instruments with contractual maturities generally greater than ten years and with interest rates that reset every 7, 28 or 35 days, depending on the terms of the particular instrument. These securities are backed by pools of student loans guaranteed by state-designated guaranty agencies and reinsured by the U.S. government. All of the auction rate securities that Continental holds are senior obligations under the applicable indentures authorizing the issuance of the securities.

As of September 30, 2012, United’s EETC securities had unrealized gains of $1 million. All changes in the fair value of these investments have been classified within accumulated other comprehensive income.

Continental’s debt-related derivatives presented in the tables above relate to (a) supplemental indenture agreements that provide that Continental’s convertible debt, which was previously convertible into shares of Continental common stock, is convertible into shares of UAL common stock upon the terms and conditions specified in the indentures, and (b) the embedded conversion options in Continental’s convertible debt that are required to be separated and accounted for as though they are free-standing derivatives as a result of the Continental debt becoming convertible into the common stock of a different reporting entity. These derivatives are reported in Continental’s separate financial statements and eliminated in consolidation for UAL.

(b) Represents the illiquidity premium component of the discount rate that the Company has determined market participants would use in pricing the investments.
(c) Represents the estimated timing of principal repayments used in the discounted cash flow model.
(d) Represents the credit risk premium of the EETC structure above the risk-free rate that the Company has determined market participants would use in pricing the instruments.
(e) Represents the range in volatility estimates that the Company has determined market participants would use when pricing the instruments.
(f) Represents the range of Company-specific risk adjustments that the Company has determined market participants would use as a model input.

Valuation Processes—Level 3 Measurements —The Company’s internal valuation group is responsible for determining the fair value of financial instruments. Depending on the instrument, the valuation group utilizes discounted cash flow methods or option pricing methods as indicated above. Valuations using discounted cash flow methods are generally conducted by the valuation group. Valuations using option pricing models are generally provided to the Company by third-party valuation experts. Each reporting period, the valuation group reviews the unobservable inputs used by third-party valuation experts for reasonableness utilizing relevant information available to the Company from other published sources. The Company has a formal process to review changes in fair value for satisfactory explanation.

Sensitivity Analysis—Level 3 Measurements— Changes in the unobservable input values would be unlikely to cause material changes in the fair value of the auction rate securities and EETCs.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Continental convertible debt derivative assets and liabilities are the UAL stock expected volatility and the Company’s own credit risk. Significant increases (decreases) in expected volatility would result in a higher (lower) fair value measurement. Significant increases (decreases) in the Company’s own credit risk would result in a lower (higher) fair value measurement. A change in one of the inputs would not necessarily result in a directionally similar change in the other.

Table of Contents

Fair value of the financial instruments included in the tables above was determined as follows:

 

Description

  

Fair Value Methodology

Cash and Cash Equivalents    The carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these assets.
Short - term Investments, Investments, and Restricted Cash    Fair value is based on (a) the trading prices of the investment or similar instruments, (b) an income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts into a single present amount based on current market expectations about those future amounts when observable trading prices are not available, or (c) internally-developed models of the expected future cash flows related to the securities. These assets have maturities of less than one year except for the EETCs, auction rate securities and corporate debt.
Fuel Derivatives    Derivative contracts are privately negotiated contracts and are not exchange traded. Fair value measurements are estimated with option pricing models that employ observable inputs. Inputs to the valuation models include contractual terms, market prices, yield curves, fuel price curves and measures of volatility, among others.
Foreign Currency Derivatives    Fair value is determined with a formula utilizing observable inputs. Significant inputs to the valuation models include contractual terms, risk-free interest rates and forward exchange rates.
Debt    Fair values were based on either market prices or the discounted amount of future cash flows using our current incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities.
Convertible Debt Derivative Asset and Option Liability    The Company used a binomial lattice model to value the conversion options and the supplemental derivative assets. Significant binomial model inputs that are not objectively determinable include volatility and discount rate.

NOTE 7—HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Aircraft Fuel Hedges. The Company has a risk management strategy to hedge a portion of its price risk related to projected aircraft fuel requirements. The Company periodically enters into derivative contracts to mitigate the adverse financial impact of potential increases in the price of fuel. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for speculative, non-risk management purposes.

Upon proper qualification, the Company accounts for certain fuel derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. All derivatives designated as hedges that meet certain requirements are granted special hedge accounting treatment. The types of instruments the Company utilizes that qualify for special hedge accounting treatment typically include swaps, call options and collars (which consist of a purchased call option and a sold put option). Generally, utilizing the special hedge accounting, all periodic changes in fair value of the derivatives designated as hedges that are considered to be effective are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (“AOCI”) until the underlying fuel is consumed and recorded in fuel expense. The Company is exposed to the risk that its hedges may not be effective in offsetting changes in the cost of fuel and that its hedges may not continue to qualify for special hedge accounting. Hedge ineffectiveness results when the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument exceeds the change in the value of the Company’s expected future cash outlay to purchase and consume fuel. To the extent that the periodic changes in the fair value of the derivatives are not effective, that ineffectiveness is classified as other nonoperating income (expense).

The Company also utilizes certain derivative instruments that are economic hedges but do not qualify for hedge accounting under US GAAP. As with derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting, the purpose of these economic hedges is to mitigate the adverse financial impact of potential increases in the price of fuel. Currently, the only such economic hedges in the Company’s hedging portfolio are three-way collars (which consist of a sold call option, a purchased call option, and a sold put option). The Company records changes in the fair value of three-way collars to other nonoperating income (expense).

The Company records each derivative instrument as a derivative asset or liability on a gross basis in its consolidated balance sheets and, accordingly, records any related collateral on a gross basis.

Derivative Credit Risk and Fair Value

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to its derivative instruments. While the Company records derivative instruments on a gross basis, the Company monitors its net derivative position with each counterparty to monitor credit risk. Based on the fair value of our fuel derivative instruments, our counterparties may require us to post collateral when the price of the underlying commodity decreases, and we may require our counterparties to provide us with collateral when the price of the underlying commodity increases. The following table presents information related to the Company’s derivative credit risk as of September 30, 2012 (in millions):

NOTE 8—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General Guarantees and Indemnifications. In the normal course of business, the Company enters into numerous real estate leasing and aircraft financing arrangements that have various guarantees included in the contracts. These guarantees are primarily in the form of indemnities under which the Company typically indemnifies the lessors and any tax/financing parties against tort liabilities that arise out of the use, occupancy, operation or maintenance of the leased premises or financed aircraft. Currently, the Company believes that any future payments required under these guarantees or indemnities would be immaterial, as most tort liabilities and related indemnities are covered by insurance (subject to deductibles). Additionally, certain leased premises such as fueling stations or storage facilities include indemnities of such parties for any environmental liability that may arise out of or relate to the use of the leased premises.

Legal and Environmental Contingencies. The Company has certain contingencies resulting from litigation and claims incident to the ordinary course of business. Management believes, after considering a number of factors, including (but not limited to) the information currently available, the views of legal counsel, the nature of contingencies to which the Company is subject and prior experience, that the ultimate disposition of these contingencies will not materially affect the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

The Company records liabilities for legal and environmental claims when a loss is probable and reasonably estimable. These amounts are recorded based on the Company’s assessments of the likelihood of their eventual disposition.

Commitments. As of September 30, 2012, UAL, United and Continental had the following commitments to purchase aircraft:

UAL Aircraft Commitments. UAL had firm commitments to purchase 100 new Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft scheduled for delivery from 2018 through 2022. UAL also had options to purchase an additional 100 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft. UAL had the right, and intends in the future, to assign its interest under the purchase agreement for the 737 MAX 9 aircraft with respect to one or more of the aircraft to either United or Continental.

United Aircraft Commitments. United had firm commitments to purchase 100 new aircraft (25 Boeing 787 aircraft, 50 Boeing 737-900ER aircraft and 25 Airbus A350XWB aircraft) scheduled for delivery from 2013 through 2019. United also had options and purchase rights for 164 additional Boeing and Airbus aircraft.

Continental Aircraft Commitments. Continental had firm commitments to purchase 68 new aircraft (44 Boeing 737 aircraft and 24 Boeing 787 aircraft) scheduled for delivery from October 1, 2012 through 2016. Continental also had options to purchase 83 Boeing aircraft. From October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, Continental expects to take delivery of six Boeing 737-900ER aircraft and four Boeing 787-8 aircraft.

Continental had arranged for EETC financing of 20 Boeing 737-900ER aircraft and six Boeing 787-8 aircraft scheduled for delivery through July 2013. In addition, United had secured considerable backstop financing commitments from its widebody aircraft and engine manufacturers, subject to certain customary conditions. See Note 9 of this report for additional information. However, UAL and United do not have backstop financing or any other financing currently in place for their firm narrowbody aircraft orders with Boeing, and Continental does not have backstop financing or any other financing currently in place for its other Boeing aircraft on order. Financing will be necessary to satisfy the Company’s capital commitments for its firm order aircraft and other related capital expenditures. The Company can provide no assurance that any financing not already in place for aircraft and spare engine deliveries will be available to the Company on acceptable terms when necessary or at all.

UAL and Continental have concluded their discussions with Boeing regarding delays in delivery of certain Boeing 787 aircraft, and have reached a resolution with Boeing regarding compensation to be received in connection with those delays, which is reflected in the table below.

The table below summarizes the capital commitments of UAL, United and Continental as of September 30, 2012, which primarily relate to the acquisition of aircraft and related spare engines, aircraft improvements and acquisition of information technology services and assets. As UAL has the right, and intends in the future, to assign its interest under the purchase agreement for the 737 MAX 9 aircraft with respect to one or more of the aircraft to either United or Continental, but has not determined the actual assignment of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft between United and Continental, the table below assumes that 50% of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 order is assigned to United and 50% of the Boeing 737 MAX 9 order is assigned to Continental.

Any incremental firm aircraft orders, including through the exercise of purchase options, will increase the total future capital commitments of the Company, United and/or Continental.

Credit Card Processing Agreements. United and Continental have agreements with financial institutions that process customer credit card transactions for the sale of air travel and other services. Under certain of United’s and Continental’s credit card processing agreements, the financial institutions either require, or under certain circumstances have the right to require, that United and Continental maintain a reserve equal to a portion of advance ticket sales that have been processed by that financial institution, but for which United and Continental have not yet provided the air transportation.

As of September 30, 2012, $25 million was provided by the Company as a cash reserve for its credit card processing agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Paymentech, LLC. Our credit card processing agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Paymentech, LLC to process MasterCard/Visa transactions and our credit card processing agreement with American Express allow the applicable financial institution to require additional cash or other collateral reserves to be established or additional withholding of payments related to receivables collected if the Company does not maintain certain minimum levels of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short term investments. The Company’s current level of unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short term investments is substantially in excess of these minimum levels. The amount of required cash or other collateral reserves or withheld payments would be no more than the liability of the credit card processor for tickets purchased with the applicable credit cards for travel that had not occurred. In conjunction with the single passenger service system conversion in March 2012, all tickets sold since that date have been on United ticket stock. As a result, the advance ticket sales by Continental have diminished and are expected to be zero by March 2013.

Guarantees and Off-Balance Sheet Financing.

Guarantees. United and Continental are the guarantors of approximately $270 million and $1.6 billion, respectively, in aggregate principal amount of tax-exempt special facilities revenue bonds and interest thereon. These bonds, issued by various airport municipalities, are payable solely from rentals paid under long-term agreements with the respective governing bodies. The leasing arrangements associated with $1.7 billion ($270 million for United and $1.4 billion for Continental) of these obligations are accounted for as operating leases with the associated expense recorded on a straight-line basis resulting in ratable accrual of the lease obligation over the expected lease term. The leasing arrangements associated with $190 million (for Continental only) of these obligations are accounted for as capital leases. These bonds are due between 2015 and 2033.

In the Company’s financing transactions that include loans, the Company typically agrees to reimburse lenders for any reduced returns with respect to the loans due to any change in capital requirements and, in the case of loans in which the interest rate is based on the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), for certain other increased costs that the lenders incur in carrying these loans as a result of any change in law, subject in most cases to obligations of the lenders to take certain limited steps to mitigate the requirement for, or the amount of, such increased costs. At September 30, 2012, UAL had $2.6 billion of floating rate debt (consisting of United’s $1.9 billion and Continental’s $676 million of debt) and $357 million of fixed rate debt (consisting of United’s $191 million and Continental’s $166 million of debt), with remaining terms of up to ten years, that are subject to these increased cost provisions. In several financing transactions involving loans or leases from non-U.S. entities, with remaining terms of up to nine years and an aggregate balance of $2.9   billion (consisting of United’s $2.1 billion and Continental’s $762 million balance), the Company bears the risk of any change in tax laws that would subject loan or lease payments thereunder to non-U.S. entities to withholding taxes, subject to customary exclusions.

Houston Bush Terminal B Redevelopment Project.  In May 2011, UAL, in partnership with the Houston Airport System, announced that it would begin construction of the first phase of a potential three-phase $1 billion terminal improvement project for Terminal B at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (“Houston Bush”) by the end of 2011. In November 2011, the City of Houston issued approximately $113 million of special facilities revenue bonds to finance the construction of a new south concourse at Houston Bush dedicated to the Company’s regional jet operations. The bonds are guaranteed by Continental and

Table of Contents

are payable from certain rentals paid by Continental under a special facilities lease agreement with the City of Houston. Continental’s initial commitment is to construct the first phase of the originally anticipated three-phase project. Continental’s cost of construction of phase one of the project is currently estimated to be approximately $100 million and is funded by special facilities revenue bonds. Construction of the remaining phases of the project, if any, will be based on demand over the next seven to 10 years, with phase one currently expected to be completed in late 2013.

Based on a qualitative assessment of the Houston Bush Terminal B Redevelopment Project, due to the fact that Continental is guaranteeing the special facilities revenue bonds and the requirement that Continental fund cost overruns with no stated limits, Continental is considered the owner of the property during the construction period for accounting purposes. As a result, the construction project is being treated as a financing transaction such that the property and related financing will be included on UAL’s consolidated balance sheet as an asset under operating property and equipment and as a construction obligation under other long-term liabilities.

Credit Facilities. As of September 30, 2012 the Company had its entire commitment capacity of $500 million available under the Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2011 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks led by Citibank N.A., as administrative agent. The Revolving Credit Facility has an expiration date of January 30, 2015.

Labor Negotiations. As of September 30, 2012, UAL and its subsidiaries had approximately 88,000 active employees, of whom approximately 80% are represented by various labor organizations. On February 27, 2012, the pilots at both United and Continental agreed to an extension of their protocol for joint negotiations and continue to engage in joint bargaining with the Company for a combined collective bargaining agreement. On August 3, 2012, the Company announced it had reached an agreement in principle with respect to a new joint collective bargaining agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association, International (“ALPA”) representing pilots at United and Continental. The agreement in principle is subject to definitive documentation, and any such definitive documentation is subject to approvals by each of the United and Continental ALPA master executive councils and ratification by the Company’s pilots. See Note 10 of this report for additional information related to negotiations with the pilots work group.

On February 28, 2012, the flight attendants at United ratified a new collective bargaining agreement and, on July 13, 2012, the flight attendants at Continental ratified a new collective bargaining agreement. On July 17, 2012, the Company reached a tentative agreement with its Continental Micronesia flight attendants, which was ratified on August 17, 2012. Joint negotiations will begin shortly for a joint collective bargaining agreement covering all of the Company’s flight attendant work groups.

We are currently in the process of negotiating joint collective bargaining agreements with all of our represented employee groups, including our pilots, fleet and passenger service agents, reservations agents, flight attendants, technicians, dispatchers and storekeepers. Achieving joint collective bargaining agreements with our represented employee groups is likely to increase our labor costs, which increase could be material.

NOTE 9—DEBT

As of September 30, 2012, a substantial portion of our assets are pledged as collateral for our debt. These assets principally consist of aircraft and the related spare parts and engines, route authorities and loyalty program intangible assets. As of September 30, 2012, UAL, United and Continental were in compliance with their respective debt covenants.

Continental EETCs. In March 2012, Continental created two pass-through trusts that issued an aggregate principal amount of $892 million of pass-through certificates. Proceeds from the sale of the certificates are used to purchase equipment notes issued by Continental. Of the $892 million in proceeds raised by the pass-through trusts, Continental had received $577 million as of September 30, 2012, in exchange for Continental’s issuance of an equivalent principal amount of equipment notes, which has been recorded as debt. The remaining amount is expected to be received during the last three months of this year as aircraft are delivered to Continental and Continental issues equipment notes to the trusts. Continental records the debt obligation upon issuance of the equipment notes rather than upon the initial issuance of the pass-through certificates. The proceeds have been and are expected to be used to fund the acquisition of new aircraft, and in the case of currently owned aircraft, for general corporate purposes.

In October 2012, Continental created two pass-through trusts, one of which issued $712 million aggregate principal amount of Class A pass-through certificates with a stated interest rate of 4% and the second of which issued $132 million aggregate principal amount of Class B pass-through certificates with a stated interest rate of 5.5%. The proceeds of the issuance of the Class A and Class B pass-through certificates, which amounted to $844 million, will be used to purchase equipment notes issued by Continental. Continental has not yet received any of the proceeds raised by the pass-through trusts. Continental expects to receive the proceeds from the issuance starting in the fourth quarter of 2012 and continuing through the first seven months of 2013 as aircraft are delivered to Continental and Continental issues equipment notes to the trusts. Continental records the debt obligation upon issuance of the equipment notes rather than upon the initial issuance of the pass-through certificates. The proceeds are expected to be used to fund the acquisition of new aircraft.

Table of Contents

The Company evaluated whether the pass-through trusts formed are variable interest entities (“VIEs”) required to be consolidated by the Company under applicable accounting guidance, and determined that the pass-through trusts are VIEs. The Company determined that it does not have a variable interest in the pass-through trusts. The Company does not invest in or obtain a financial interest in the pass-through trusts. Rather, Continental has an obligation to make interest and principal payments on its equipment notes held by the pass-through trusts. The Company did not intend to have any voting or non-voting equity interest in the pass-through trusts or to absorb variability from the pass-through trusts. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it is not required to consolidate the pass-through trusts.

8% Contingent Senior Notes.  UAL is obligated under an indenture to issue to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (“PBGC”) up to $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8% Notes in up to eight equal tranches of $62.5 million if certain financial triggering events occur (with each tranche issued no later than 45 days following the end of any applicable fiscal year).

During 2011, a financial triggering event under the 8% Notes indenture occurred at both June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2011 and, as a result, UAL issued two tranches of $62.5 million each of the 8% Notes in January 2012, which were recorded during 2011 at their fair value of $88 million as a component of integration costs. In addition, at June 30, 2012, a financial triggering event under the 8% Notes indenture occurred and, as a result, UAL is obligated to issue an additional tranche of $62.5 million of the 8% Notes by February 2013. UAL recorded a liability for the fair value of the obligation of $48 million during the second quarter of 2012.

Special Facility Revenue Refunding Bonds. In August 2012, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) issued approximately $101 million of special facility revenue bonds (the “2012 Bonds”) to provide funds for the defeasance of approximately $100 million of the Authority’s previously issued and outstanding special facility revenue bonds maturing on September 15, 2012 (the “Refunded Bonds”). The Refunded Bonds were guaranteed by Continental and payable from certain rental payments made by Continental pursuant to two lease agreements between the Authority and Continental. The 2012 Bonds are payable from certain loan repayments made by Continental under a loan agreement between Continental and the Authority. The 2012 Bonds are recorded by Continental as unsecured long-term debt.

NOTE 10—SPECIAL ITEMS

Special Revenue. During the second quarter of 2011, the Company modified the previously existing United and Continental co-branded credit card agreements with Chase Bank USA, N.A. This modification resulted in the following one-time adjustment to decrease frequent flyer deferred revenue and increase special revenue in accordance with ASU 2009-13 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 as follows (in millions):

On August 3, 2012, the Company announced it had reached an agreement in principle with respect to a new joint collective bargaining agreement with ALPA representing pilots at United and Continental. The Company recorded $454 million of expense in the third quarter associated with lump sum cash payments that would be made in conjunction with the ratification of the contract and the completion of the integrated pilot seniority list. This charge also includes costs associated with changes to existing pilot disability plans negotiated in connection with the agreement in principle. The lump sum payments are not in lieu of future pay increases and were accrued in the third quarter as a result of the payments becoming probable, primarily due to reaching the agreement in principle. The agreement in principle is subject to definitive documentation, and any such definitive documentation is subject to approvals by each of the United and Continental ALPA master executive councils and ratification by the Company’s pilots. The Company currently expects to make cash payments of approximately $250 million in late 2012 or early 2013 relating to these charges and the balance in subsequent periods.

Integration-related costs include compensation costs related to systems integration and training, costs to repaint aircraft and other branding activities, costs to write-off or accelerate depreciation on systems and facilities that are no longer used or planned to be used for significantly shorter periods, relocation costs for employees and severance primarily associated with administrative headcount reductions.

In addition, financial triggering events under the 8% Notes indenture occurred at both June 30, 2012 and 2011 and as a result, UAL became obligated to issue one tranche of $62.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the 8% Notes with respect to each of these financial triggering events. The obligation to issue these tranches was recorded at their fair values of $48 million and $49 million as of June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Both obligations described above were recorded as integration-related costs because the financial results of UAL, excluding Continental’s results, would not have resulted in triggering events under the 8% Notes indenture.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded $125 million of severance and benefits associated with three voluntary employee programs. During the first quarter of 2012, approximately 400 mechanics offered to retire early in exchange for a cash severance payment that was based on the number of years of service each employee had accumulated. The Company also offered a voluntary leave of absence program that approximately 1,800 flight attendants accepted, which allows for continued medical coverage during the leave of absence period. During the second quarter of 2012, as part of the recently amended collective bargaining agreement with the Association of Flight Attendants, the Company offered a voluntary program for flight attendants at United to retire early in exchange for a cash severance payment. The payments are dependent on the number of years of service each employee has accumulated. Approximately 1,300 flight attendants accepted this program and the expense for this voluntary program is approximately $76 million.

In addition, the Company sold nine aircraft during the first nine months of 2012. The Company also made adjustments to certain legal reserves.

The Company expects to consolidate its headquarters facilities by mid-2013. During the consolidation process, the Company expects to record special charges for accelerated depreciation and lease expense on unused facilities associated with the facility that it vacates. The Company estimates that future charges will be approximately $45 million to $65 million in total, which are expected to be recorded in late 2012 through 2013.

Accruals

The accrual for severance and medical costs was $59 million, $42 million and $17 million related to UAL, United and Continental, respectively, as of September 30, 2012. In addition, the accrual balance of future lease payments on permanently grounded aircraft was $6 million for both UAL and United as of September 30, 2012.

The severance-related accrual as of September 30, 2012, which primarily relates to the integration of United and Continental, is expected to be paid through 2014. Lease payments for grounded aircraft are expected to continue through 2013.

At September 30, 2011, the accrual balance for severance and medical costs was $73 million, $42 million and $31 million related to UAL, United and Continental, respectively. In addition, the accrual balance of future lease payments on permanently grounded aircraft was $31 million for both UAL and United as of September 30, 2011.

NOTE 11—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Intercompany transactions—United and Continental

United and Continental perform services for one another including various aircraft maintenance services, aircraft ground handling and jet fuel provisions at certain airports. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, United provided $196 million and $317 million of services to Continental, respectively, and Continental provided $61 million and $155 million of services to United, respectively. These amounts do not include interline billings, which are common among airlines for various transportation-related services. Many of these transactions are routinely settled through the clearing house, which is customarily used in the monthly settlement of such items. Transactions not settled through the clearing house are typically settled in cash on a quarterly basis. As of September 30, 2012, Continental had a net current payable of $2.5 billion to United primarily related to the transfer of the current portion of the frequent flyer liability and the cash transfer from United in conjunction with the conversion to the new passenger service system, as described below. In addition, Continental had a $448 million noncurrent payable to United associated with the transfer of the long-term portion of the frequent flyer liability at September 30, 2012.

Frequent flyer program transition

In the first quarter of 2012, the Company moved to a single loyalty program. Continental’s loyalty program formally ended in the first quarter of 2012, at which point United automatically enrolled Continental OnePass program members in the MileagePlus program and deposited into those MileagePlus accounts award miles equal to these members’ OnePass award miles balance. In March 2012, the related frequent flyer deferred revenue and advance purchase of miles liabilities for the OnePass program was transferred to United with a corresponding liability recorded by Continental payable to United for assuming the frequent flyer obligations. No gain or loss was incurred from the transaction as the liabilities were transferred at their respective net book value. The obligation associated with this transfer will be settled by Continental through future redemptions by MileagePlus members on Continental operated flights.

Passenger service system and ticket stock integration

In March 2012, Continental and United converted to a single passenger service system, allowing the Company to operate using a single reservations system, carrier code, flight schedule, website and departure control system. In conjunction with the conversion to a single passenger service system, all tickets are now sold by United. As a result, the air traffic liability of Continental is diminishing as tickets previously sold by Continental are used or refunded and United’s advanced ticket sales liability and associated cash receipts from the ticket sales will increase accordingly. Subsequent to the system conversion, United transferred cash to Continental each month, such transfers being netted against amounts owed to Continental for segments flown by Continental on United ticket stock. Revenue will continue to be recorded by the carrier that is operating the flight.

Revenue and expense allocation

In November 2011, the Company received a single operating certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration. The Company plans to merge Continental and United into one legal entity. Once this legal merger occurs, the financial statements of United and Continental will be combined at their historical cost for all periods presented beginning on October 1, 2010, the date on which Continental became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL, and there will no longer be a requirement to separately report the historical financial statements of Continental.

Until Continental and United are merged into one legal entity, revenue and expenses will continue to be recorded by each entity based on either specific identification of the related transaction, where applicable, or appropriate allocations based on metrics that are systematic and rational. Certain revenues and expenses that were previously recorded based on a specific identification were allocated in March 2012 in connection with the conversion to a single passenger service system. We believe the allocated amounts will generally be comparable to historical amounts.

Each airline will continue to record actual expenses for aircraft that are owned or leased and passenger revenue will be determined on an actual basis for the carrier operating the flight. The table below illustrates a summary of the primary allocation metrics to be used:

 

Account

  

Allocation metric between subsidiaries

Operating revenue:

  

Passenger

   Actual ticket revenue based on specifically identified flights operated by each carrier. Frequent flyer component of passenger revenue is allocated to Continental based on historic revenue passenger miles (“RPMs”) split between carriers and rate at which outstanding frequent flyer liability was transferred from Continental to United at single passenger service system conversion for calculating frequent flyer impact. Regional revenue, based on the carrier that contracted with the regional carrier

Cargo

   Actual by operating carrier

Other operating

   Passenger related based on passenger revenue and other based on passengers enplaned or other similar criteria

Operating expense:

  

Aircraft fuel

   Actual by operating carrier

Salaries and related costs

   Actual for operational workgroups and allocation based on historical RPMs for administrative personnel. Profit sharing expense is allocated based on the proportional profit of each operating entity

Regional capacity purchase

   Actual based on specific identification of the carrier that contracted with regional carrier for flying

Landing fees and other rent

   Allocation based on passengers enplaned

Aircraft maintenance materials and outside repairs

   Actual based on the specific identification of each carrier’s aircraft

Depreciation and amortization

   Specific identification of carriers’ operational assets (i.e. flight equipment) and intangible assets and allocation based on historical RPMs for other assets

Distribution expenses

   Allocation based on passenger revenue

Aircraft rent

   Actual based on specific identification of each carrier’s aircraft

Special charges

   Specific identification. Labor agreement costs are allocated based on salaries of respective work groups

Other operating expenses

   Specific identification where applicable and allocation based on historical RPMs for other

Total net revenue allocated from United to Continental amounted to $332 million and $760 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Overview

United Continental Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “UAL”) is a holding company and its principal, wholly-owned subsidiaries are United Air Lines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “United”) and Continental Airlines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Continental”). All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of UAL, United and Continental. We sometimes use the words “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” for disclosures that relate to all of UAL, United and Continental. As UAL consolidates United and Continental for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to United and Continental activities also apply to UAL. When appropriate, UAL, United and Continental are named specifically for their related activities and disclosures.

The Company transports people and cargo through its mainline operations, which utilize jet aircraft with at least 100 seats, and regional operations, which utilize smaller aircraft that are operated under contract by United Express carriers. The Company serves virtually every major market around the world, either directly or through participation in Star Alliance ® , the world’s largest airline alliance. The Company offers approximately 5,600 daily departures to 378 destinations.

Third Quarter Financial Highlights

 

   

UAL’s third quarter 2012 net income was $520 million, or $1.35 diluted earnings per share, excluding $514 million of special charges, net of tax. Including special charges, UAL’s third quarter 2012 net income was $6 million, or $0.02 diluted earnings per share.

 

   

UAL’s passenger revenue decreased 2.6% during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011.

 

   

UAL’s third quarter 2012 fuel cost increased 1.0% year-over-year.

 

   

UAL’s unrestricted liquidity was $7.2 billion, including $500 million of undrawn commitments under a revolving credit facility.

Third Quarter Operational Highlights

 

   

UAL’s traffic and capacity decreased 1.5% and 1.4%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the third quarter of 2011. The Company’s load factor for the third quarter of 2012 was 85.2%.

 

   

For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a U.S. Department of Transportation on-time arrival rate of 72.4% and a system completion factor of 98.6%.

 

   

The Company took delivery of one new Boeing 787-8 aircraft and three new Boeing 737-900ER aircraft during the third quarter of 2012.

Outlook

In order to generate sustained profitability over the business cycle, the Company manages its capacity to meet balance with expected demand for travel. The Company has reduced and plans to reduce full year 2012 consolidated capacity by reducing flight frequencies, indefinitely postponing the start of flights to certain markets and exiting less profitable markets. For the first nine months of 2012, consolidated capacity decreased 0.6% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and, as compared to 2011 capacity, the Company expects full-year 2012 consolidated capacity to decrease 1.0% to 1.2% year-over-year, with full-year 2012 domestic capacity to decrease 1.8% to 2.0% and full-year 2012 international capacity to be between a decrease of 0.1% and an increase of 0.1%. The Company is also analyzing the removal of certain less fuel-efficient aircraft from its fleet and other cost-saving measures.

Integration

The Company has made significant progress in integrating its products, services, policies and a number of information technology systems. During the third quarter, the Company continued to redeploy aircraft across its global network, better matching aircraft and demand on a route by route basis. In August 2012, the Company reached an agreement in principle with respect to a new joint collective bargaining agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association, International representing pilots at United and Continental.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion provides an analysis of UAL’s results of operations and reasons for material changes therein for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the corresponding periods in 2011.

Consolidated passenger revenue in the third quarter of 2012 decreased 2.6% as compared to the year-ago period due to a reduction in capacity which resulted in a decline in the number of passengers flown year-over-year. Additionally, the consolidated average fare per passenger and yield declined 1.5% and 1.2%, respectively, during the third quarter of 2012 versus the same period in 2011.

Cargo revenue decreased $37 million, or 13.1%, in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period due to lower volumes on freight across all regions except Latin America.

Salaries and related costs increased $18 million, or 0.9%, in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period due to several factors, including a 3.8% increase in the number of average full-time employees, higher pay rates primarily driven by new joint collective bargaining agreements, and overtime for airport and call center employees related to our conversion to a single passenger service system offset by decreases in profit sharing.

Landing fees and other rent increased $28 million, or 5.9%, in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to credits (refunds) received in 2011 as a result of certain airports’ audits of prior period payment, and an increase in such fees paid in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Aircraft maintenance materials and outside repairs increased $22 million, or 4.9%, in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period due primarily to higher rates on maintenance contracts.

Distribution expenses decreased $21 million, or 5.6%, in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period due to reduced fees with our online ticket agents, lower credit card discount fees driven by legislation reducing costs on debit card sales, and lower volume of global distribution systems fees paid in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Interest expense decreased $25 million, or 11.0%, in the third quarter of 2012, compared to the year-ago period primarily due to a decrease in debt outstanding during the third quarter of 2012 as compared to debt outstanding during the year-ago period.

Table of Contents

During the third quarter of 2012, miscellaneous, net included a fuel hedge ineffectiveness gain of $2 million primarily resulting from an increase in fuel hedge values in excess of the increase in aircraft fuel prices as compared to a fuel hedge ineffectiveness loss of $56 million in the year ago period. Third quarter 2012 miscellaneous, net also included mark-to-market gains of $10 million from derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting as compared to $0 in the year ago period.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rates are lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily because of the impact of changes to existing valuation allowances. We continue to provide a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities because management has concluded that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will ultimately not be realized. See Note 4 to the financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report for information related to this matter.

First Nine Months 2012 Compared to First Nine Months 2011

UAL recorded a net loss of $103 million in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to net income of $978 million in the first nine months of 2011. Excluding special items, UAL had net income of $779 million in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to net income of $1.2 billion in the first nine months of 2011. See “Reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP Financial Measures” at the end of this item for additional information related to non-GAAP financial measures. We consider a key measure of our performance to be operating income, which was $504 million for the first nine months of 2012, as compared to $1.8 billion for the first nine months of 2011.

Consolidated passenger revenue in the first nine months of 2012 increased 1.4% as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to increases in consolidated average fare per passenger and yield, which increased by 1.8% and 1.7%, respectively. Passenger revenue increased in 2011 as a result of certain accounting changes. In conjunction with these changes, the Company recorded a special adjustment in 2011 to decrease frequent flyer deferred revenue and increase revenue by $107 million in connection with a modification to its co-branded credit card agreement with Chase Bank USA, N.A.

Cargo revenue decreased $107 million, or 12.1%, in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period due to lower volumes on freight and mail across all regions.

Other operating revenue increased $128 million, or 5.1%, in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to an increase in sales volume of miles to third parties.

Salaries and related costs increased $217 million, or 3.8%, in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period due to several factors including a 3.8% increase in the number of average full-time employees, higher pay rates primarily driven by new collective bargaining agreements, and additional overtime for airport and call center employees related to our conversion to a single passenger service system.

Regional capacity purchase increased $80 million, or 4.4%, in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period primarily due to contractual amendments with one of our regional carrier partners to shift the arrangement from a prorate agreement to a capacity purchase agreement and also due to an increase in the contractual rates with such regional carrier partner.

Distribution expenses decreased $64 million, or 5.8%, in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period due to reduced fees with our online ticket agents, lower credit card discount fees driven by legislation reducing costs on debit card sales and lower volume of global distribution systems fees paid in 2012 as compared to 2011.

Interest expense decreased $100 million, or 13.7%, in the first nine months of 2012, compared to the year-ago period primarily due to a decrease in debt outstanding during the first nine months of 2012 as compared to debt outstanding during the year-ago period.

During the first nine months of 2012, miscellaneous, net included a fuel hedge ineffectiveness loss of $2 million primarily resulting from a decrease in fuel hedge ineffectiveness as compared to a loss of $87 million in the year-ago period. The first nine months of 2012 miscellaneous, net also included mark-to-market gains of $10 million from derivatives not qualifying for hedge accounting as compared to $0 in the year ago period.

Income Taxes. Our effective tax rates are lower than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily because of the impact of changes to existing valuation allowances. We continue to provide a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets in excess of deferred tax liabilities because management has concluded that it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will ultimately not be realized. See Note 4 to the financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report for information related to this matter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Current Liquidity

As of September 30, 2012, UAL had $6.7 billion in unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, as compared to $7.8 billion at December 31, 2011. At September 30, 2012, UAL also had $471 million of restricted cash and cash equivalents, which is primarily collateral for performance bonds, letters of credit, estimated future workers’ compensation claims and credit card processing agreements. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had its entire commitment capacity of $500 million under the Revolving Credit Facility available for letters of credit or borrowings.

As is the case with many of our principal competitors, we have a high proportion of debt compared to capital. We have a significant amount of fixed obligations, including debt, aircraft leases and financings, leases of airport property and other facilities, and pension funding obligations. At September 30, 2012, UAL had approximately $12.2 billion of debt and capital lease obligations, including $1.8 billion that will become due in the next 12 months. In addition, we have substantial non-cancelable commitments for capital expenditures, including the acquisition of new aircraft and related spare engines.

The Company will continue to evaluate opportunities to repurchase its debt in open market transactions to reduce its indebtedness and the amount of interest paid on its indebtedness.

As of September 30, 2012, UAL had firm commitments to purchase 100 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft scheduled for delivery from 2018 through 2022. UAL also had options to purchase an additional 100 Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft. UAL had the right, and intends in the future, to assign its interest under the purchase agreement for the 737 MAX 9 aircraft with respect to one or more of the aircraft to either United or Continental.

Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2012, United had firm commitments to purchase 100 new aircraft (25 Boeing 787 aircraft, 50 Boeing 737-900ER aircraft and 25 Airbus A350XWB aircraft) scheduled for delivery from 2013 through 2019. United also had options and purchase rights for 164 additional Boeing and Airbus aircraft.

As of September 30, 2012, Continental had firm commitments to purchase 68 new aircraft (44 Boeing 737 aircraft and 24 Boeing 787 aircraft) scheduled for delivery from October 1, 2012 through 2016. Continental also had options to purchase 83 Boeing aircraft. From October 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, Continental expects to take delivery of six Boeing 737-900ER aircraft and four Boeing 787-8 aircraft.

Continental had arranged for enhanced equipment trust certificate (“EETC”) financing of 20 Boeing 737-900ER aircraft and six Boeing 787-8 aircraft scheduled for delivery through July 2013. In addition, United had secured considerable backstop financing commitments from its widebody aircraft and engine manufacturers, subject to certain customary conditions. See Note 9 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this report for additional information. However, UAL and United do not have backstop financing or any other financing currently in place for their firm narrowbody aircraft orders with Boeing, and Continental does not have backstop financing or any other financing currently in place for its other Boeing aircraft on order. Financing will be necessary to satisfy the Company’s capital commitments for its firm order aircraft and other related capital expenditures. The Company can provide no assurance that any financing not already in place for aircraft and spare engine deliveries will be available to the Company on acceptable terms when necessary or at all.

UAL and Continental have concluded their discussions with Boeing regarding delays in delivery of certain Boeing 787 aircraft, and have reached a resolution with Boeing regarding compensation to be received in connection with those delays.

As of September 30, 2012, the Company has total capital commitments primarily related to aircraft and related spare engines, aircraft improvements and acquisition of information technology services and assets of approximately $18.4 billion, of which approximately $0.9 billion, $1.5 billion, $1.7 billion, $1.9 billion, $2.8 billion and $9.6 billion are due in the last three months of 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and thereafter, respectively.

Any incremental firm aircraft orders, including through the exercise of purchase options, will increase the total future capital commitments of the Company, United and/or Continental.

As of September 30, 2012, a substantial portion of UAL’s assets, principally aircraft, aircraft spare parts, route authorities and certain other intangible assets, were pledged under various loan and other agreements. We must sustain our profitability and/or access the capital markets to meet our significant long-term debt and capital lease obligations and future commitments for capital expenditures, including the acquisition of aircraft and related spare engines.

Credit Ratings. As of the filing date of this report, UAL, United and Continental had the following corporate credit ratings:

 

     S&P      Moody’s      Fitch  

UAL

     B         B2         B   

United

     B         B2         B   

Continental

     B         B2         B   

These credit ratings are below investment grade levels. Downgrades from these rating levels, among other things, could restrict the availability, or increase the cost of future financing for the Company.

Sources and Uses of Cash

Operating Activities. UAL’s cash flow provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $845 million compared to $2.1 billion in the same period in 2011. The decrease is attributable to a decrease in the Company’s net income year-over-year and the cash flow impact of certain working capital items.

Investing Activities. UAL’s capital expenditures, net of financings, were $774 million and $510 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively. UAL’s capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were primarily attributable to the purchase of new Boeing aircraft and other fleet-related expenditures to improve the onboard experience of our existing aircraft.

In addition to capital expenditures during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, Continental acquired four aircraft through the issuance of debt, as discussed under Financing Activities below.

The purchase of short-term investments decreased to $22 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012 from $754 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2011.

Financing Activities. In March 2012, Continental created two pass-through trusts which issued an aggregate principal amount of $892 million of pass-through certificates. Proceeds from the sale of the certificates are used to purchase equipment notes issued by Continental. Of the $892 million in proceeds raised by the pass-through trusts, Continental had received $577 million as of September 30, 2012, in exchange for Continental’s issuance of an equivalent principal amount of equipment notes, which has been recorded as debt. The remaining amount is expected to be received during the last three months of this year as aircraft are delivered to Continental and Continental issues equipment notes to the trusts. Continental records the debt obligation upon issuance of the equipment notes rather than upon the initial issuance of the pass-through certificates. The proceeds have been and are expected to be used to fund the acquisition of new aircraft, and in the case of currently owned aircraft, for general corporate purposes.

In October 2012, Continental created two pass-through trusts, one of which issued $712 million aggregate principal amount of Class A pass-through certificates with a stated interest rate of 4% and the second of which issued $132 million aggregate principal amount of Class B pass-through certificates with a stated interest rate of 5.5%. The proceeds of the issuance of the Class A and Class B pass-through certificates, which amounted to $844 million, will be used to purchase equipment notes issued by Continental. Continental has not yet received any of the proceeds raised by the pass-through trusts. Continental expects to receive the proceeds from the issuance starting in the fourth quarter of 2012 and continuing through the first seven months of 2013 as aircraft are delivered to Continental and Continental issues equipment notes to the trusts. Continental records the debt obligation upon issuance of the equipment notes rather than upon the initial issuance of the pass-through certificates. The proceeds are expected to be used to fund the acquisition of new aircraft.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, UAL made debt and capital lease payments of $1.2 billion. These payments include $195 million related to Continental’s Series 2002-1 EETCs.

In August 2012, the New Jersey Economic Development Authority (the “Authority”) issued approximately $101 million of special facility revenue bonds (the “2012 Bonds”) to provide funds for the defeasance of approximately $100 million of the Authority’s previously issued and outstanding special facility revenue bonds maturing on September 15, 2012 (the “Refunded Bonds”). The Refunded Bonds were guaranteed by Continental and payable from certain rental payments made by Continental pursuant to two lease agreements between the Authority and Continental. The 2012 Bonds are payable from certain loan repayments made by Continental under a loan agreement between Continental and the Authority. The 2012 Bonds are recorded by Continental as unsecured long-term debt.

Commitments, Contingencies and Liquidity Matters

As described in the 2011 Annual Report, the Company’s liquidity may be adversely impacted by a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, obligations associated with fuel hedge settlements and related collateral requirements, pension funding obligations, reserve requirements associated with credit card processing agreements, guarantees, commitments and contingencies. See the 2011 Annual Report and Notes 5, 7, 8 and 9 to the financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this report for information related to these matters.

United and Continental—Results of Operations

In November 2011, the Company received a single operating certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration. The Company plans to merge Continental and United into one legal entity. Once this legal merger occurs, the financial statements of United and Continental will be combined at their historical cost for all periods presented beginning on October 1, 2010, the date on which Continental became a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL, and there will no longer be a requirement to separately report the historical financial statements of Continental.

Until Continental and United are merged into one legal entity, revenue and expenses will continue to be recorded by each entity based on either specific identification of the related transaction, where applicable, or appropriate allocations based on metrics that are systematic and rational. Each airline will continue to record actual expenses for aircraft that are owned or leased and passenger revenue will be determined on an actual basis for the carrier operating the flight.

United had operating losses of $1 million and $225 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to operating income of $579 million and $1 billion in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011, respectively. As compared to the third quarter of 2011, United’s consolidated revenue decreased $201 million, or 3.4%, to $5.7 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2012. United’s consolidated revenue decreased 1.2% for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the year-ago period. These decreases are due to a decline in capacity in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 as compared to the same periods in 2011 in addition to a one-time special revenue item in 2011.

Aircraft fuel expense decreased 1.8% and increased 7.4% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to the year-ago periods, which was primarily driven by volatility in market prices for aircraft fuel, as highlighted in the fuel table in Operating Expenses , above. Fuel hedge losses were $23 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012, compared to fuel hedge gains of $90 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011.

Other operating expenses increased $203 million, or 28.6%, in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period, and increased $319 million, or 15.3%, in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to 2011. These increases are primarily due to intercompany fuel transactions that are eliminated upon consolidation of the Company’s financial results.

United’s nonoperating expense decreased $43 million, or 26.5%, in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to the year-ago period, and decreased $98 million, or 20.2%, in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to the first nine months of 2011. This decrease is due to a reduction in interest expense as a result of a decrease in the principal amount of debt outstanding year-over-year in addition to larger fuel hedge ineffectiveness losses experienced in 2011.

Continental’s operating income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012 were $203 million and $737 million, respectively, as compared to operating income of $360 million and $763 million, respectively, in the third quarter and first nine months of 2011. As compared to the third quarter of 2011, Continental’s consolidated revenue increased $141 million, or 3.2%, to $4.5 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2012. These improvements were largely due to year-over-year capacity discipline, which in turn resulted in higher fares, stronger yields and increased traffic, as compared to the same period in 2011. Similarly, Continental’s consolidated revenue increased $809 million, or 6.6%, to $13 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as compared to the year-ago period.

Aircraft fuel expense increased approximately 5.0% and 9.6% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2011, primarily due to volatility in the market prices of aircraft fuel. Fuel hedge losses were $15 million and $52 million in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively.

Regional capacity purchase expense increased by 13.7% and 19.1% in the third quarter and first nine months of 2012, respectively, as compared to the year-ago periods, which was primarily due to a contractual amendment with one of our regional carrier partners to shift the arrangement from a prorate agreement to a capacity purchase agreement.

Nonoperating expense includes a $1 million gain from fuel hedge ineffectiveness in the third quarter of 2012 as compared to a $23 million loss from fuel hedge ineffectiveness in the year ago period. Nonoperating expense also includes a $1 million loss from fuel hedge ineffectiveness in the first nine months of 2012 as compared to a $49 million loss from fuel hedge ineffectiveness in the first nine months of 2011. Continental’s nonoperating expense in the three months ended September 30, 2012 also includes a net loss of $31 million associated with marking to market the fair value of derivative assets and liabilities related to agreements that provide for Continental’s convertible debt to be settled with UAL common stock. This net loss and the related derivatives are reflected only in the Continental stand-alone financial statements. See Note 7 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information.

RECONCILIATION OF GAAP TO NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The non-GAAP financial measures in this report are presented because they provide management and investors the ability to measure and monitor UAL’s performance on a consistent basis. UAL believes that adjusting for special items is useful to investors because they are non-recurring items not indicative of UAL’s on-going performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) and diluted earnings (loss) per share to the non-GAAP financial measure of net income and diluted earnings per share, excluding special items, for the three and nine months ended September 30 is as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

See Note 1 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this report for a discussion of changes in accounting for revenue for the Company’s loyalty program.

FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

Certain statements throughout Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this report are forward-looking and thus reflect our current expectations and beliefs with respect to certain current and future events and financial performance. Such forward-looking statements are and will be subject to many risks and uncertainties relating to our operations and business environment that may cause actual results to differ materially from any future results expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements. Words such as “expects,” “will,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “indicates,” “believes,” “forecast,” “guidance,” “outlook” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

Additionally, forward-looking statements include statements that do not relate solely to historical facts, such as statements which identify uncertainties or trends, discuss the possible future effects of current known trends or uncertainties, or which indicate that the future effects of known trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted, guaranteed or assured.

At September 30, 2012, UAL fuel derivatives were in a net asset position of $33 million. See Note 7 to the financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report for additional information related to fuel hedges.

Fuel derivative disclosures for United and Continental are omitted under the reduced disclosure format permitted by General Instruction H(2) of Form 10-Q.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

UAL, United and Continental each maintain controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted to the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The management of UAL, United and Continental, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, performed an evaluation to conclude with reasonable assurance that UAL’s, United’s and Continental’s disclosure controls and procedures were designed and operating effectively to report the information each company is required to disclose in the reports they file with the SEC on a timely basis. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of UAL, United and Continental have concluded that as of September 30, 2012, disclosure controls and procedures of each company were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting during the Quarter Ended September 30, 2012

Except as set forth below, during the three months ended September 30, 2012, there were no changes in UAL’s, United’s or Continental’s internal controls over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, their internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).

During the first quarter of 2012, we made certain changes to internal controls over financial reporting related to our revenue accounting system and our frequent flyer accounting systems. In connection with our conversion to a single passenger service system in March 2012, United converted from its former revenue accounting system to the Continental revenue accounting system and frequent flyer passenger database. During the second and third quarters of 2012, we continued to make additional enhancements to the revenue accounting system to improve our internal controls over financial reporting, including a reconciliation of open coupon detail to the general ledger balance of advanced ticket sales. The operating effectiveness of these changes to the internal controls over financial reporting will be evaluated as part of our annual assessment of the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting as of the end of fiscal year 2012.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

The disclosures below include updates to certain legal proceedings included in the 2011 Annual Report. In addition to the legal proceedings below, UAL, United and Continental are parties to other legal proceedings as described in the 2011 Annual Report and in Part II, Item 1, “Legal Proceedings,” of the Company’s Form 10-Q for each of the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012.

EEOC Claim Under the Americans with Disabilities Act

On June 5, 2009, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) filed a lawsuit on behalf of five named individuals and other similarly situated employees alleging that United’s reasonable accommodation policy for employees with medical restrictions does not comply with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The EEOC maintains that qualified disabled employees should be placed into available open positions for which they are minimally qualified, even if there are better qualified candidates for these positions. Under United’s accommodation policy, employees who are medically restricted and who cannot be accommodated in their current position are given the opportunity to apply and compete for available positions. If the medically restricted employee is similarly qualified to others who are competing for an open position, under United’s policy, the medically restricted employee will be given a preference for the position. If, however, there are candidates that have superior qualifications competing for an open position, then no preference will be given. United successfully transferred the venue of the case to the United States Federal Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On November 22, 2010, United filed a motion to dismiss the matter which the district court granted on February 3, 2011. On April 1, 2011, the EEOC appealed the dismissal to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. On March 7, 2012, the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the district court’s decision dismissing the case. However, the three judge panel noted the split in the appellate court on this issue and potentially relevant precedent from the U.S. Supreme Court, and strongly recommended an en banc hearing of the case. On September 7, 2012, a unanimous Seventh Circuit overruled itself and previous Seventh Circuit precedent and held that there may be an obligation to place a minimally qualified disabled worker in a position over a more qualified non-disabled worker. The case was then remanded to the district court. The district court granted United’s motion to stay this mandate during appeal and United anticipates filing a Petition for Certiorari with the Supreme Court of the United States within 90 days of the September 7th opinion.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

See Part I, Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” of the 2011 Annual Report and Part II, Item 1A., “Risk Factors,” of the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 for a detailed discussion of the risk factors affecting UAL, United and Continental. The disclosure below includes updates to certain risk factor disclosures included in the 2011 Annual Report, which are in addition to, and not in lieu of, those contained in the 2011 Annual Report.

Union disputes, employee strikes or slowdowns, and other labor-related disruptions, as well as the integration of the United and Continental workforces in connection with the Merger, present the potential for a delay in achieving expected Merger synergies, could adversely affect the Company’s operations, and could result in increased costs that impair its financial performance.

United and Continental are both highly unionized companies. As of September 30, 2012, the Company and its subsidiaries had approximately 88,000 active employees, of whom approximately 80% were represented by various U.S. labor organizations.

The successful integration of United and Continental and achievement of the anticipated benefits of the combined company depend in part on integrating United and Continental employee groups and maintaining productive employee relations. In order to fully integrate the pre-Merger represented employee groups, the Company must negotiate a joint collective bargaining agreement covering each combined group. The process for integrating the labor groups of United and Continental is governed by a combination of the Railway Labor Act (the “RLA”), the McCaskill-Bond Amendment, and where applicable, the existing provisions of each company’s collective bargaining agreements and union policy. A delay in or failure to integrate the United and Continental employee groups presents the potential for delays in achieving expected Merger synergies, increased operating costs and labor disputes that could adversely affect our operations.

We are currently in the process of negotiating joint collective bargaining agreements with all of our represented employee groups, including our pilots, fleet and passenger service agents, reservations agents, flight attendants, technicians, dispatchers and storekeepers. Achieving joint collective bargaining agreements with our represented employee groups is likely to increase our labor costs, which increase could be material.

On August 3, 2012, the Company announced that it had reached an agreement in principle with respect to a new joint collective bargaining agreement with the Air Line Pilots Association, International (“ALPA”) representing pilots at United and Continental. The agreement in principle is subject to definitive documentation, and any such definitive documentation is subject to approvals by each of the United and Continental ALPA master executive councils and ratification by the Company’s pilots.

Table of Contents

The Company can provide no assurance that a successful or timely resolution of labor negotiations for all amendable collective bargaining agreements will be achieved. There is a risk that unions or individual employees might pursue judicial or arbitral claims arising out of changes implemented as a result of the Merger. Employee dissatisfaction with the results of the seniority integration may lead to litigation that in some cases can delay implementation of the integrated seniority list. There is also a possibility that employees or unions could engage in job actions such as slow-downs, work-to-rule campaigns, sick-outs or other actions designed to disrupt United’s and Continental’s normal operations, in an attempt to pressure the companies in collective bargaining negotiations. Although the RLA makes such actions unlawful until the parties have been lawfully released to self-help, and United and Continental can seek injunctive relief against premature self-help, such actions can cause significant harm even if ultimately enjoined.

Subject:    Open Matters
Reference:    Purchase Agreement No. 03776 ( Purchase Agreement ) between The Boeing Company ( Boeing ) and United Continental Holdings, Inc. ( Customer ) relating to Model 737-9 aircraft ( Aircraft )

This letter agreement ( Letter Agreement ) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement shall have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

Given the long period of time between Purchase Agreement signing and delivery of the first Aircraft and the continued development of the 737 MAX program, certain elements have not yet been defined. In consideration, Boeing and Customer agree to work together as the 737 MAX program develops as follows:

1. Aircraft Delivery Schedule .

1.1 The scheduled delivery position of the Aircraft, as of the date of this Letter Agreement is listed in Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement and provides the delivery schedule in *** delivery windows consisting of a nominal delivery month ( Nominal Delivery Month ) ***. No later than *** prior to Nominal Delivery Month of Customer’s first Aircraft in each calendar year, Boeing will provide written notice with a *** scheduled delivery month for each Aircraft with a Nominal Delivery Month in such calendar year.

1.2 Customer and Boeing will consult on a frequent basis to keep each other informed as to Customer’s fleet plans and Boeing’s production plans in order to meet the requirements of both parties. Based on such reviews and discussions, Boeing will use commercially reasonable efforts to meet Customer’s fleet needs when providing the notices required by Article 1.1. Such notices provided by Boeing will constitute an amendment to Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement. The amended Table 1 shall be the scheduled delivery positions for the purposes of applying all provisions of the Purchase Agreements, including without limitation the BFE on-dock dates, and *** the *** for the Aircraft.

2. Aircraft Configuratio n.

2.1 The initial configuration of Customer’s Model Aircraft has been defined by Boeing 737-9 Airplane Description Document No. *** dated *** as described in Article 1 and Exhibit A of the Purchase Agreement ( Initial Configuration ). Final configuration of the Aircraft ( Final Configuration ) will be completed using the then-current Boeing configuration documentation in accordance with the following schedule:

2.1.1 No later than *** prior to the first Aircraft’s scheduled delivery, Boeing and Customer will discuss potential optional features.

2.1.2 Within *** after that meeting, Boeing will provide Customer with a proposal for those optional features that can be incorporated into the Aircraft during production.

2.1.3 Customer will then have *** to accept or reject the optional features.

2.1.4 Within *** following Final Configuration, Boeing and Customer will execute a written amendment to the Purchase Agreement which will reflect the following:

2.1.4.1 Changes applicable to the basic Model 737-9 aircraft which are developed by Boeing between the date of signing of the Purchase Agreement and date of Final Configuration.

2.1.4.2 Incorporation into Exhibit A of the Purchase Agreement, by written amendment, those optional features which have been agreed to by Customer and Boeing ( Customer Configuration Changes );

2.1.4.3 Revisions to the Supplemental Exhibit BFE1 to reflect the selection dates and on-dock dates of BFE;

2.1.4.4 Changes to the Optional Features Prices, and Aircraft Basic Price to adjust for the difference, if any, between the prices estimated in Table 1 of the Purchase Agreement for optional features reflected in the Aircraft Basic Price and the actual prices of the optional features reflected in the Customer Configuration Changes. Such changes will not result in a *** to the *** provided in Table 1.

3. Customer Support Variables.

3.1 The initial customer support package contained in Supplemental Exhibit CS1 to the Purchase Agreement is predicated upon the 737NG customer support package. Boeing intends to further refine the post delivery support package for the 737 MAX and will provide this revised package to Customer no later than *** prior to the first month of the scheduled delivery quarter of the first Aircraft. The provision of such revised Supplemental Exhibit CS1 will constitute an amendment to the Purchase Agreement and will provide the Customer in aggregate an overall Boeing post delivery support package that is equivalent to, or better than, the Supplemental Exhibit CS1 included in the Purchase Agreement as of the date of this Letter Agreement.

3.2 Additionally, Boeing will engage in discussions with Customer in conjunction with the providing of the updated Supplemental Exhibit CS1 to offer to Customer additional uniquely tailored post delivery support services beyond the scope of the Supplemental Exhibit CS1 that will further enhance the maintainability and operational efficiency of the Aircraft.

This letter agreement (Letter Agreement) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

Recitals

A. Certain third party, commercial off-the-shelf software products are available to perform various functions required in the Aircraft (COTS Software).

B. The industry practice with respect to COTS Software is to permit manufacturers to install the software in products for sale to customers. The manufacturer is required to pass to the customer an End User License Agreement (EULA), which covers the right to use the COTS Software. The EULAs also require each user of the product to further license the software and pass the EULA to any user to whom he transfers the product.

C. Because of the described industry practice with respect to COTS Software, Boeing does not acquire title to COTS Software and cannot pass title to COTS Software at the time of delivery of the Aircraft.

D. Therefore, the parties desire to amend certain provisions of the Purchase Agreement to properly reflect the respective rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the COTS Software included in the Aircraft.

3. In connection with any sale or other transfer of the Aircraft, Customer agrees to comply with all provisions of the applicable EULAs, including without limitation the re-licensing of the software to Customer’s transferee and the flow down within such license of the further requirement that Customer’s transferee comply with and flow to other transferees the obligations of the EULA.

Reference: a) Purchase Agreement No. 3860 ( Purchase Agreement ) between The Boeing Company ( Boeing ) and United Air Lines, Inc. ( Customer ) relating to Model 787 aircraft ( Aircraft )

b) Customer Services General Terms Agreement No. 22-1 ( CSGTA ) between Boeing and Customer, including Supplemental Agreement for Electronic Access ( SA-EA ), Supplemental Agreement for e-Enabling ( SA-eE ), and 787 Software License Orders

This letter agreement ( Letter Agreement ) amends and supplements the Purchase Agreement. All terms used but not defined in this Letter Agreement have the same meaning as in the Purchase Agreement.

Introduction

Prior to title transfer of the Aircraft to Customer, Boeing baseline production software will be installed in the Aircraft. Such production software will be used by Boeing, and may be used by Customer during standard customer inspection activities, to test and validate applicable e-enabling features and associated hardware, including but not limited to features such as: a Boeing offered catalogue in-flight entertainment ( IFE ) system, ***, electronic documents, *** and electronic checklist ( ECL ). Operational software, as set out in Article 1 and Article 2 below, will not be installed temporarily or permanently on an Aircraft prior to the transfer by Boeing of title to that Aircraft to Customer or a party designated by Customer.

1. Boeing-Provided Operational Software and Data .

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and applicable 787 software license order(s), immediately following title transfer of the Aircraft to Customer, Boeing will, upon Customer’s request, load Boeing-provided operational software and data onto onboard loadable hardware that enable the Aircraft to operate certain e-enabled features as described in the Purchase Agreement and applicable 787 software license order(s).

2. Customer-Provided Operational Software and Data .

2.1 *** Software . If Customer has elected to customize software or modify settings and features of selected onboard software or databases from what is set forth in Exhibit A of the Purchase Agreement, at Customer’s request, Boeing will provide a courtesy load of Customer’s version of such operational software immediately following title transfer of the Aircraft. Boeing will load Customer’s operational software if it is provided to Boeing within specified lead times and schedule. If Customer fails to provide the operational software in accordance with Boeing’s instructions, the Aircraft will be solely configured with the Boeing baseline production software in lieu of Customer’s operational software.

2.2 *** and/or Other Third Party Operational Software and Databases . If Customer provides Customer-developed software applications or has licensed additional software or databases from *** and/or other third party supplier for installation onto an onboard loadable system, at Customer’s request, Boeing will also provide a courtesy load of such operational software immediately following title transfer of the Aircraft. If Customer fails to provide such operational software in accordance with Boeing’s instructions, Boeing will not load this software.

2.3 IFE Customer Software . IFE Customer Software shall mean any software which is obtained by the Customer from a source other than Boeing for installation in the IFE system. Boeing will make the Aircraft available to Customer’s IFE supplier for loading of the IFE Customer Software via Customer authorized work order(s) immediately following title transfer of the Aircraft. The time required for the IFE supplier to complete the loading of the IFE Customer Software is estimated to be approximately *** hours. If Customer fails to make appropriate arrangements with its IFE supplier in accordance with Boeing instructions, the Aircraft will be solely configured with Boeing’s baseline production software for the Boeing catalogue selected IFE configuration. Boeing’s FAA approved Repair Station will *** to Customer or its IFE supplier to revise the IFE system hardware or IFE Customer Software while the Aircraft is on Boeing property prior to delivery flyaway, even if an FAA approved service bulletin is available for such revision.

3. Additional Terms and Conditions .

3.1 With respect to Customer-provided operational software and data referenced in Article 2.1 and 2.2, above, Customer shall grant, and/or shall obtain from the suppliers, a *** license for Boeing to copy and load such software on the Aircraft. Boeing will retain a copy of such software/data for loading on future Aircraft deliveries; however, Boeing expects Customer to provide updated operational software applications and databases for each Aircraft delivery. Boeing will treat all copies of this software/data in confidence and use the same only as specifically authorized under the terms of this Letter Agreement.

3.2 The loading services performed by Boeing pursuant to this Letter Agreement will be performed in a workmanlike manner. The time required to complete the Boeing-performed loading services is estimated to be approximately *** hours per attempt. Customer’s sole remedy and Boeing’s sole obligation and liability for the loading services performed by Boeing if such courtesy load is not successful the first attempt are limited to re-performance by Boeing of the courtesy load***.

3.2.1 If any Customer-provided operational software referred to in Article 2.1 above fails to reload successfully, the Aircraft will be solely configured with the Boeing baseline production software.

3.2.2 If any Customer-provided operational software referred to in Article 2.2 fails to reload successfully, Boeing will not be responsible to make further loading attempts and Aircraft fly-away will occur as scheduled.

3.3 If any IFE Customer Software fails to load successfully, Customer shall make alternate loading arrangements with its IFE supplier for loading after the Aircraft has flown-away. In such an event, and upon Customer’s request, Boeing will install the Boeing baseline production software for the Boeing catalogue selected IFE configuration prior to Aircraft fly-away.

3.4 Customer is responsible for functional testing, verification, quality assurance, and operational approval of all Customer-provided operational software.

3.5 A dual signature (Boeing and Customer) Onboard Authentication System ( OAS ) *** will be installed on the Aircraft giving access to Boeing and Customer, which is required to perform data and software loads after title transfer of the Aircraft. After fly-away, Customer will remove Boeing’s access key and certificates from the OAS.

3.6 Customer will *** Boeing *** the installation or use of Customer-provided operational software by Boeing pursuant to this Letter Agreement. ***

3.7 The DISCLAIMER AND RELEASE and EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND OTHER DAMAGES provisions in Article 11 of Part 2 of Exhibit C of the Aircraft General Terms Agreement ( AGTA ) between Boeing and Customer and the insurance provisions of Article 8.2 of the AGTA shall apply to Boeing’s loading of all software and data pursuant to this Letter Agreement.

Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL

INFORMATION OF UNITED AND CONTINENTAL

On May 2, 2010, UAL Corporation, Continental Airlines, Inc. (“Continental”), and JT Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL Corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for a “merger of equals” business combination. On October 1, 2010, JT Merger Sub Inc. merged with and into Continental, with Continental surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL Corporation (the “Merger”). Upon closing of the Merger, UAL Corporation became the parent company of both United Air Lines, Inc. (“United”) and Continental and UAL Corporation’s name was changed to United Continental Holdings, Inc. (“UAL” or the “Company”).

The Company also expects in the future that it will merge Continental and United into one legal entity (the “Airlines Merger”). Once the Airlines Merger occurs, the financial statements of United and Continental will be combined for all periods presented from the date of the Merger at their historical cost, and there will no longer be a requirement to separately report the historical financial statements of Continental.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet of United and Continental combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Continental and United as of September 30, 2012. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations of United and Continental for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012 combines the historical consolidated statement of operations of Continental and United for each period.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of United and Continental were prepared by combining the historical financial information of both Continental and United. Pro forma statements that give effect to a business combination to be accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control combine the historical financial statements of combining entities.

These Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements have been developed from and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of Continental and United contained in their respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and their respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of United and Continental are provided for illustrative purposes only and do not purport to represent what the actual consolidated results of operations or the consolidated financial position of Continental or United would have been had the Airlines Merger occurred on the dates assumed, nor are they necessarily indicative of future consolidated results of operations or consolidated financial position.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF UNITED AND CONTINENTAL

Note 1. Basis of Presentation

On May 2, 2010, UAL Corporation, Continental Airlines, Inc. (“Continental”), and JT Merger Sub Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL Corporation, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger providing for a “merger of equals” business combination. On October 1, 2010, JT Merger Sub Inc. merged with and into Continental, with Continental surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of UAL Corporation (the “Merger”). Upon closing of the Merger, UAL Corporation became the parent company of both United Air Lines, Inc. (“United”) and Continental and UAL Corporation’s name was changed to United Continental Holdings, Inc. (“UAL” or the “Company”).

The Company also expects in the future that it will merge Continental and United into one legal entity (the “Airlines Merger”). Once the Airlines Merger occurs, the financial statements of United and Continental will be combined for all periods presented from the date of the Merger at their historical cost, there will no longer be a requirement to separately report the historical financial statements of Continental, and United will be considered the predecessor.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet of United and Continental combines the historical consolidated balance sheet of Continental and United on September 30, 2012. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations of United and Continental for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012 combines the historical consolidated statement of operations of Continental and United for the year ended December 31, 2011 and the nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements were prepared by combining the historical financial information of both Continental and United. Pro forma statements that give effect to a business combination to be accounted for as a reorganization of entities under common control generally only combine the historical financial statements of combining entities.

Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments

The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of United primarily reflect the elimination of transactions and account balances between Continental and United.
