American Airlines (AAL) Financial Results: Analysis

American Airlines Group Inc. (AAL) reported Q1 FY 2021 earnings that missed analyst predictions on several fronts. The airline posted adjusted losses per share $0.06 worse than consensus estimates. American Airlines' adjusted EPS number represents a significant widening of losses compared with adjusted losses per share of -$2.65 for Q1 FY 2020. Revenue came in slightly below analyst predictions at $4.0 billion for the quarter and was down by more than half year-over-year (YOY), a stark reflection of the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the airline's business. The company gave no specific forward guidance for EPS in Q2 or the full year.1

American Airlines Key Metric

American Airlines posted far worse-than-expected passenger load factor, a key measure of airline efficiency that shows the percentage of American Airlines' seating capacity that is being used.

Estimates: Wall Street expected Southwest to lose $1.85 per share. Revenue was seen falling 52% to $2.03 billion.

Results: Southwest lost $1.72 a share. Revenue tumbled 51.5% to $2.05 billion. Core cash burn was $9 million per day in March and $13 million per day in Q1. Management sees core cash burn of Q2 of $2 million-$4 million per day, with breakeven cash flow, or better, by June.

HOWEVER...

With govt money considered, $116M in the green, $24M profit sharing accrual.

So in this particular black swan event it would seem the advantage so far is with the LC/ULCC business model. Nobody is doing good, but they are doing less bad.

It is not insignificant that SWA alone never went into a negative cash position (cash on hand minus debts, without considering value of assets), and this has given SWA quite a bit of organizational flexibility that other companies may not feel at the moment. If SWA had received zero govt money, we'd still have had 10+ billion in cash and *might* have still had positive cash position without selling off any assets. Last numbers I saw, if SWA paid off all loans we'd still have $3B in cash, which is pretty close to how much we got in payrolls support grants. And the only downsizing we did (other than voluntary early retirements) was retire planes we only held onto in the first place because the MAX was grounded, and return some leased -700s. I don't think any other majors in the world were even close to being that well prepared for an economic disaster of this magnitude. Was that because of the LCC business model, or just a corporate culture that favored piling up a really fat rainy day fund in addition to stock buybacks during the previous economic boom?

There's a masters or PhD thesis in there somewhere, and I'm sure this will get studied for decades as the next chapter right after the lesson on the "Southwest effect" that all MBA students have to go through.

Also, Boeing was paying to store the MAXs and was paying them for the lost revenue. I believe Gary mentioned in a Video, that the grounding actually help them early in the Pandemic,

That was my understanding as well. Boeing’s loss was SWA’s gain, compensating the company for aircraft they wouldn’t have been flying anyway.
