Pay vs Performance Disclosure |  |  |  |
Pay vs Performance Disclosure, Table | Pay Versus Performance In accordance with SEC rules, the table below sets forth additional information concerning the compensation of each individual who served as our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our other (“non-CEO”) named executive officers (“NEOs”) for each of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, and our financial and total stockholder return (“TSR”) performance for each such fiscal year. Mr. Isom served as our CEO during 2023 and a part of 2022 and Mr. Parker served as our CEO during a part of 2022 and all of 2021 and 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic was the most challenging time in our industry’s history. It resulted in drastic disruptions in global demand for air travel and a severe decline in our business. Despite these challenges, we remained consistent in our approach and philosophy that our executive compensation programs provide both fair pay and pay-for-performance and align with the interests of stockholders. In 2023, we produced exceptionally strong performance, including:
| • |  | Achieved record 2023 revenue of approximately $53 billion, an increase of more than $22 billion compared to 2021
| • |  | On a GAAP basis, reversed our pre-tax loss in 2021 of over $2.5 billion and produced pre-tax income of $186 million in 2022 and pre-tax income of more than $1.1 billion in 2023
| • |  | Excluding pre-tax net special items, (1) reversed our pre-tax loss in 2021 of nearly $7 billion and produced pre-tax income of $458 million in 2022, and nearly $2.5 billion in 2023
(1) | See Appendix B for details on the components of pre-tax net special items and for a reconciliation of pre-tax income (loss) excluding net special items, a non-GAAP measure.

| Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the Compensation Actually Paid columns was determined by reference to (1) for time-based RSU awards, the closing price of a share of our Common Stock on the applicable year-end date(s) or, in the case of vesting dates, the closing price of a share of our Common Stock on the applicable vesting dates, and (2) for performance-based RSU awards, the same valuation methodology as time-based RSU awards except year-end values are multiplied by a factor reflecting achievement of the probable outcome of the applicable performance conditions as of the measurement date (which as of December 31, 2023 was 160% for the 2022 grants and 100% for the 2023 grants).
(3) | Pursuant to the SEC rules, TSR reflects an initial investment of $100 on December 31, 2019, and that all dividends, if any, were reinvested. The Peer Group Total Stockholder Return represents the cumulative TSR of the ARCA Airline Index (the “Peer Group TSR”).
(4) | Adjusted pre-tax margin is a non-GAAP measure and excludes net special items. See Appendix B for a reconciliation of pre-tax margin excluding net special items, a non-GAAP measure.
