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, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021 and 2020, and our financial and total stockholder return (“TSR”) performance for each such fiscal year. Mr. Isom has served as our CEO beginning March 2022 and Mr. Parker served as our CEO prior to that. 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. We achieved key objectives and strong financial performance in 2024, including:
| • |  | Produced record full-year revenue of $54.2 billion, full-year net income of $846 million and, excluding special items, full-year net income of $1.4 billion (1)
| • |  | Generated $4 billion in full-year operating cash flow and record full-year free cash flow of $2.2 billion (1)
| • |  | Operated nearly 2.2 million flights with an average load factor of 84.9%
| • |  | Delivered strong operational results, achieving our second-best completion factor since the merger of American and US Airways, on our largest-ever passenger volume
(1) | See Appendix B for a reconciliation of net income excluding net special items (non-GAAP measure), and for the calculation of free cash flow (non-GAAP measure).
