United Airlines Announces Full-Year 2015 Profit
OREANDA-NEWS. United Airlines (UAL) reported its fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 financial results.
UAL reported full-year net income of USD 4.5 billion, or USD 11.88 per diluted share, excluding special items. Including special items, UAL reported full-year net income of USD 7.3 billion. These results include a nonrecurringUSD 3.1 billion non-cash benefit associated with the reversal of the company's income tax valuation allowance.
UAL reported fourth-quarter net income of USD 934 million, or USD 2.54 per diluted share, excluding special items. Including special items, UAL reported fourth-quarter net income of USD 823 million.
Today, UAL announced it reached an agreement to acquire 40 new Boeing 737-700 aircraft which will enter the fleet beginning in mid-2017, replacing a portion of the capacity currently operated by regional partners.
Employees earned a record USD 698 million in profit sharing for full-year 2015.
"We improved our operational performance, continued to invest in our products and services and achieved record financial performance," said Brett J. Hart, UAL's acting chief executive officer. "We have great momentum as we head into 2016 and are committed to continuously earning the trust of our customers and employees. I'm proud of what we accomplished together, running a reliable airline and making the right investments to deliver shareholder value. We expect first-quarter pre-tax margin to be between 8 and 10 percent, excluding special items."
For the fourth quarter of 2015, total revenue was USD 9.0 billion, a decrease of 3.0 percent year-over-year. Fourth-quarter 2015 consolidated PRASM decreased 6.0 percent and consolidated yield decreased 7.2 percent compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. For the full-year 2015, consolidated PRASM declined 4.4 percent versus the prior year. The declines in PRASM and yield were driven largely by a strong U.S. dollar, lower surcharges, travel reductions from customers impacted by declining oil prices and softening domestic and international yields.
Passenger revenue for the fourth quarter and full year of 2015 and period-to-period comparisons of related statistics for UAL's mainline and regional operations are included in the tables in the back of this document.
