Exhibit 99.1

 

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.

Investor Update

Issue Date: March 25, 2013

 

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), parent of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (“Hawaiian”) issued the following Investor Update.

 

First Quarter 2013 Outlook:

 

The Company has revised its expectations provided in its Fourth Quarter Earnings Release Conference Call on January 29, 2013 (“Earnings Call”).

 

Specifically, the Company expects its operating cost per available seat mile (ASM) excluding fuel to improve relative to prior guidance in the first quarter ending March 31, 2013.  The improvement in the Company’s operating cost per ASM excluding fuel is primarily a result of timing of maintenance events, certainty of costs for several maintenance activities and lower commissions and other selling expenses related to a decrease in passenger load factor; these items will reduce the expected operating costs in the quarter ending March 31, 2013.

 

Also, the Company expects its passenger and operating revenue per ASM, passenger revenue per revenue passenger mile (RPM) and passenger load factor to decrease relative to prior guidance in the first quarter ending March 31, 2013.  The decrease to passenger revenue is primarily attributable to lower than anticipated load factor and expected yield (passenger revenue per RPM) on a small number of International routes.  The decrease to passenger revenue is partially offset by improvements to other operating revenue, primarily due to cargo revenue.

 

The table below summarizes the Company’s revised expectations for the quarter ending March 31, 2013, expressed as an expected change compared to the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 (the results for which are presented for reference).
