(1) | The Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) and NEOs for the applicable years were as follows:
2024: Scott Kirby served as the Company's PEO for the entirety of 2024 and the Company's other NEOs were: Michael Leskinen, Brett Hart, Torbjorn Enqvist and Andrew Nocella. 2023: Scott Kirby served as the Company's PEO for the entirety of 2023 and the Company's other NEOs were: Michael Leskinen, Brett Hart, Torbjorn Enqvist, Linda Jojo, Gerald Laderman and Gregory Hart. 2022:Scott Kirby served as the Company’s PEO for the entirety of 2022 and the Company’s other NEOs were: Brett Hart, Gregory Hart, Gerald Laderman and Linda Jojo. 2021:Scott Kirby served as the Company’s PEO for the entirety of 2021 and the Company’s other NEOs were: Brett Hart, Gerald Laderman, Linda Jojo and Andrew Nocella. 2020:Scott Kirby was promoted to the role of PEO on May 20, 2020, the date of the Company’s 2020 annual meeting of stockholders. Oscar Munoz served as the Company’s PEO during 2020 up until May 20, 2020, and then transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman of the Board. The Company’s other NEOs for 2020 were: Brett Hart, Gerald Laderman, Linda Jojo and Andrew Nocella.
(2) | Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year in the case of Messrs. Kirby and Munoz and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year for the Company’s non-PEO NEOs for the applicable year.
(3) | To calculate the compensation actually paid (“CAP”) as required under SEC disclosure rules, adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments for each person who served as PEO during the covered period and for the average of the non-PEO NEOs is set forth following the footnotes to this table.
(4) | Pursuant to rules of the SEC, the comparison assumes $100 was invested on December 31, 2019. Historic stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.
(5) | The TSR Peer Group consists of the NYSE Arca Airline Index, an independently prepared index that includes companies in the airline industry and which is used for the stock performance graph in the Company’s 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(6) | The Committee selected absolute Adjusted EPS as its Company-Selected Measure, because, in the Company’s assessment, it represents the most important financial performance measure used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs for 2024 to Company performance. Adjusted EPS is a measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to Appendix A for a definition and a reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
(7) | The amounts shown for 2023 for the Average Summary Compensation Table Total for Non-PEO NEOs and Average CAP Paid to Non-PEOs for 2023 have been updated from the amounts reported in the 2023 Pay Versus Performance disclosure to reflect a reduction in Mr. Leskinen’s 2023 compensation of $266,638, representing the portion of his 2023 compensation attributable to the inadvertent inclusion of a portion of his September 2023 promotional PBRSU award, which was not actually granted for purposes of FASB ASC Topic 718 until 2024.

____________________________________________
(1) | Absolute Adjusted EPS, Relative Adjusted Pre-Tax Margin and Adjusted EBITDA Margin relative to industry peers are non-GAAP financial measures.
| (a) | Please refer to Appendix A for a definition and a reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
| (b) | Relative Adjusted Pre-tax Margin is measured by comparing our Pre-tax Margin against performance of selected industry peers. Please refer to Appendix A for a definition and a reconciliation of Adjusted Pre-tax Margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
| (c) | Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) excluding operating and nonoperating special charges (credits) and unrealized (gains) losses on investments, and, as applicable, adjusted for refinery and fuel hedges. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated as Adjusted EBITDA divided by operating revenue. Industry Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated to reflect the difference between our Adjusted EBITDA Margin relative to the revenue weighted average of our industry peers (excluding United) during 2024.

Non-GAAP Measure Description |
(6) | The Committee selected absolute Adjusted EPS as its Company-Selected Measure, because, in the Company’s assessment, it represents the most important financial performance measure used by the Company to link compensation actually paid to the NEOs for 2024 to Company performance. Adjusted EPS is a measure that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP. Please refer to Appendix A for a definition and a reconciliation of Adjusted EPS to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
