“High fuel prices are putting significant pressure on the industry, but the benefits of Delta’s strategic actions and the dedication of Delta employees are evident in the solid profit we produced despite more than $1 billion in higher fuel expense,” said Richard Anderson, Delta’s chief executive officer. “Our revenue momentum, coupled with the capacity reductions we are making in September and actions to get our non-fuel costs to 2010 levels, will generate the margins we need to hit our return targets.”
Adapting the Business for Higher Fuel Prices
Delta is recalibrating its business to succeed in a permanent, high fuel price environment. The company’s actions include:
- Using fare increases, fuel surcharges and revenue initiatives to recover fuel cost increases through ticket prices;
- Reducing its December quarter capacity by 4 – 5% year over year, an incremental 1 point reduction from previous guidance, focused in markets where revenues do not cover higher fuel costs. Domestic capacity will be down 1 – 3% and international capacity will be down 4 – 6%. In the transatlantic, Delta and its partners, Air France – KLM and Alitalia, established capacity levels as a single entity, leading to a combined reduction in transatlantic capacity of 7 – 9% for the December quarter;
- Retiring 140 of Delta’s least efficient aircraft by the end of 2012, including the entire DC9 and Saab turbo-prop fleets, and 60 50-seat regional jets. Half of these aircraft will exit the fleet in 2011, which will contribute to the expected $250 million in maintenance savings for the second half of 2011 compared to the first half of the year; and
- Implementing initiatives to reduce the company’s non-fuel unit costs to 2010 levels by the end of 2011, including voluntary exit programs accepted by more than 2,000 employees; consolidating more than 1.2 million square feet of facilities in Atlanta and Minneapolis; and lowering selling and distribution costs by shifting to more efficient distribution channels.
Revenue Environment
Delta’s operating revenue grew $1 billion, or 12%, in the June 2011 quarter compared to the 2010 quarter. Traffic rose 1% on a 2.5% increase in capacity.
- Passenger revenue increased 13%, or $882 million, compared to the prior year period. Passenger unit revenue (PRASM) increased 10%, driven by a 12% improvement in yield partially offset by a 1.3 point decline in load factor. Passenger revenues were negatively impacted by $125 million as a result of the March events in Japan.
- Cargo revenue increased 25%, or $53 million, on higher cargo volume and yield.
- Other revenue increased 5%, or $50 million, from higher third-party maintenance revenue.
As part of its plan to generate $1 billion in incremental revenue by 2013, Delta launched its new international premium economy product, Economy Comfort, on June 1. Revenue from Economy Comfort and other new seat-related products and merchandising initiatives are expected to generate $150 – 200 million in revenue in 2011.
Comparisons of revenue-related statistics are as follows:

2Q11 versus 2Q10
----------------
Change Unit

Revenue 2Q11 ($M) YOY Revenue Yield Capacity

Domestic $3,475 12% 12% 12% (0.2%)

Consolidated $7,891 13% 10% 12% 2.5%
“A strong demand environment, combined with our corporate revenue share gains and great work by our entire team, resulted in top line growth of 12% and produced a unit revenue premium to the industry,” said Ed Bastian, Delta’s president. “Right-sizing our capacity, coupled with pricing initiatives and revenues from new products and services, position us well to continue to generate solid unit revenue improvements for the September quarter.”
Cost Performance
In the June 2011 quarter, Delta’s operating expense increased $1.4 billion year over year. More than $1 billion of this increase was attributable to the 39% increase in fuel prices, with the remainder of the cost increase primarily driven by maintenance volumes and higher revenue-related expenses.
Consolidated unit cost (CASM(2)), excluding fuel expense, profit sharing and special items, was 4.8% higher in the June 2011 quarter on a year-over-year basis. Consolidated CASM increased 16% due to higher fuel prices.
“We have seen unit cost growth from not only high fuel prices, but also maintenance volumes and revenue-related expenses,” said Hank Halter, Delta’s chief financial officer. “We are moving aggressively to stem this cost growth with a target of bringing our non-fuel unit costs to 2010 levels by the end of the year.”
Fuel Price and Related Hedges
Delta’s average fuel price(3) of $3.22 per gallon for the June quarter was a $0.90, or 39%, increase over the prior year. The June quarter 2011 price included $118 million in gains, net of option premiums, from its fuel hedging program. At July 22, 2011, Delta’s fuel hedge portfolio for the remainder of 2011 was worth $225 million, net of option premiums, and the table below represents fuel hedges Delta had in place on that date:
3Q11 4Q11
WTI - Crude 0% 1%
Heating Oil 33% 34%
Brent - Crude 11% 14%
Jet Fuel 1% 6%
Total 45% 55%

Projected fuel price $3.20 $3.31
Liquidity Position
As of June 30, 2011, Delta had $5.6 billion in unrestricted liquidity, including $3.8 billion in cash and short-term investments and $1.8 billion in undrawn revolving credit facilities.
Operating cash flow during the June 2011 quarter was $1 billion, driven by the company’s profitability and advance ticket sales. Free cash flow was $700 million.
Capital expenditures during the quarter were $300 million, including $205 million in aircraft, parts and modifications. To date, Delta has modified 40 aircraft with full flat-bed seats. The airline’s entire widebody international fleet will have full flat-bed seats in BusinessElite by 2013. These expenditures are part of Delta’s three-year, $2 billion investment in improved products, services and facilities.
For the full year 2011, the company expects its capital expenditures will be $1.2 billion. The company remains committed to keeping its annual capital expenditures at $1.2 – $1.4 billion.
During the June quarter, Delta refinanced $2.6 billion of corporate credit facilities. The transaction, with an effective annual rate of 3.67%, increased the company’s revolving credit availability by $200 million and reduced its term loan borrowing by $200 million. This reduction in term loan borrowing, combined with normal amortization payments, resulted in net debt payments of $510 million for the quarter.
At June 30, Delta’s adjusted net debt was $13.8 billion, a $700 million reduction from March 31, 2011. The company has now completed $3.2 billion of its $7 billion debt reduction target.
“With strong cash generation despite fuel price pressures, we are making solid progress on our debt reduction goals,” Halter added. “In 18 months, we have reduced our net debt by over $3 billion, while still making significant investments in our product, fleet and facilities.”
Company Highlights
Delta has a strong commitment to its employees, customers and the communities it serves. Key accomplishments in the June quarter include:
- Delivering significant improvements in operational performance, including an on-time arrival rate of 80.7% that was among the best in the industry. Delta employees received $9 million in Shared Rewards payments to recognize their work in achieving these operational improvements;
- Receiving the Million Work Hours Award from the U.S. National Safety Council, recognizing employees in Reservation Sales and Information Technology for their safety excellence in achieving more than 1 million injury-free work hours in 2010;
- Improving products and facilities for Delta’s customers, including launching the company’s new premium international economy seating, Economy Comfort; beginning construction on the company’s new international facility at New York-JFK’s Terminal 4, which is set to open in the spring of 2013; and updating apps for iPhone, Blackberry and Android that allow travelers to download mobile boarding passes, check flight status, and search flight schedules;
- Positioning the company as the airline of choice in New York with preliminary DOT approval to exchange slots and airport facilities at New York’s LaGuardia and Washington’s Reagan National airports with US Airways. Under the agreement, Delta will acquire 132 slot pairs at LaGuardia, which will allow Delta to double its available destinations, offering customers more frequent and convenient service at New York’s preferred airport for business travel;
- Expanding Delta’s global reach to give passengers more options through new service to key international business destinations such as London-Heathrow, Beijing, Shanghai, and Tokyo-Haneda; improving SkyTeam’s leading alliance position in China with the inclusion of the alliance’s newest partner, China Eastern; and obtaining anti-trust approval of the industry’s first US-Australia joint venture between Delta and Virgin Australia;
- Being chosen by the readers of Executive Travel magazine as the leading U.S. carrier in six categories for the publication’s 2011 Leading Edge awards, including Best First-Class Service; Best Business-Class Service; Best Airport Lounge; Best Flight Experience to Mexico; Best Flight Experience to Central/South America; and Best Private Jet Service (for Delta Private Jets);
- Awarding more than $350,000 in scholarships to 330 Delta employees and their families through the Delta Scholarship Fund; and
- Teaming with Habitat for Humanity and SkyTeam partners China Southern and China Eastern to help build five houses in Pinghu, China. This year’s effort was Delta’s seventh international build with Habitat for Humanity.
Special Items
Delta recorded special items totaling $168 million in the June 2011 quarter, including:
- $80 million in severance and related costs associated with the voluntary exit programs the company offered as part of its initiatives to adapt the airline to higher fuel prices;
- A $64 million charge for facilities consolidation and fleet initiatives;
- A $13 million charge for debt extinguishment associated with the company’s debt reduction initiatives; and
- $11 million in mark-to-market adjustments for fuel hedges.

(1) Except for full-time equivalent employees and number of aircraft

Note A: The following tables show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons Delta uses these measures are described below.
- We sometimes use information that is derived from our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, but that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Certain of this information is considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules. The non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results.
- Delta is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking projections to GAAP, including projected consolidated non-fuel cost per available seat mile (CASM) and Mainline non-fuel CASM, as the nature or amount of special items cannot be estimated at this time.
- Delta excludes special items because management believes the exclusion of these items is helpful to investors to evaluate the company’s recurring operational performance.
- Delta presents net debt because management believes this metric is helpful to investors to evaluate the company’s debt-related activities.
- Delta presents free cash flow because management believes this metric is helpful to investors to evaluate the company’s ability to generate cash.
- Delta uses adjusted total debt, including aircraft rent, in addition to long-term adjusted debt and capital leases, to present estimated financial obligations. Delta reduces adjusted total debt by cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, resulting in adjusted net debt to present the amount of additional assets needed to satisfy the debt.
- Delta presents consolidated and Mainline CASM excluding fuel expense and related taxes because management believes the volatility in fuel prices impacts the comparability of year-over-year financial performance.
- Delta presents consolidated and mainline CASM excluding ancillary businesses not associated with the generation of a seat mile. These businesses include aircraft maintenance and staffing services Delta provides to third parties and Delta’s vacation wholesale operations.
- Delta excludes profit sharing expense from CASM because management believes the exclusion of this item provides a more meaningful comparison of the Company’s CASM to the industry.
- Delta adjust for MTM adjustments for fuel hedges recorded in periods other than the settlement period in order to evaluate the company’s financial results related to operations in the period shown.
