PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS.
Overview
Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the "Company," "Holdings," "we," "us" and "our") is a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company's primary asset is the sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian"). Hawaiian was originally incorporated in January 1929 under the laws of the Territory of Hawai'i and became our indirect wholly-owned subsidiary pursuant to a corporate restructuring that was consummated in August 2002. Hawaiian became a Delaware corporation and the Company's direct wholly-owned subsidiary concurrent with its reorganization and reacquisition by the Company in June 2005.
Our Business
We are engaged in the scheduled air transportation of passengers and cargo amongst the Hawaiian Islands (the Neighbor Island routes), between the Hawaiian Islands and certain cities in the United States (the North America routes), and between the Hawaiian Islands and the South Pacific, Australia, New Zealand and Asia (the International routes), collectively referred to as our Scheduled Operations. We offer non-stop service to Hawai'i from more U.S. gateway cities (11) than any other airline, and also provide approximately 166 daily flights between the Hawaiian Islands. In addition, we also operate various charter flights.
We are the longest serving airline as well as the largest airline headquartered in the State of Hawai'i, and the 11th largest domestic airline in the United States based on revenue passenger miles (RPMs) reported by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration Bureau of Transportation Services as of October 2014, the latest data available.
At December 31, 2014, our fleet consisted of 18 Boeing 717-200 aircraft for the Neighbor Island routes and 10 Boeing 767-300 aircraft and 19 Airbus A330-200 aircraft for the North America, International and charter routes. We also own three ATR42 turboprop aircraft for the "'Ohana by Hawaiian" Neighbor Island service which began in 2014.
Our goal is to be the number one destination carrier serving Hawai'i. We are a leisure airline devoted to the travel needs of the residents and visitors of Hawai'i and offer a unique travel experience. We are strongly rooted in the culture and people of Hawai'i and seek to provide quality service to our customers that exemplifies the spirit of aloha.
Outlook
Our mission every year is to grow a profitable airline with a passion for excellence, our customers, our people and the spirit of Hawai'i. In 2015, we will focus on developing our existing markets, controlling our costs, preparing for the integration of new aircraft into our fleet, operating an innovative business to meet the needs of our new and existing customers, and maximizing shareholder value.
Flight Operations
Our flight operations are based in Honolulu, Hawai'i. At December 31, 2014, we operated 218 scheduled flights with:
• | Daily service on our North America routes between the State of Hawai'i and Los Angeles, Oakland, Sacramento, San Diego, San Francisco and San Jose, California; Las Vegas, Nevada; Phoenix, Arizona; Portland, Oregon; and Seattle, Washington; and scheduled service between the State of Hawai'i and New York City, New York. |
• | Daily service on our Neighbor Island routes among the four major islands of the State of Hawai'i; |
• | Daily service on our International routes between the State of Hawai'i and Sydney, Australia; and Tokyo and Osaka, Japan and scheduled service between the State of Hawai'i and Pago Pago, American Samoa; Papeete, Tahiti; Brisbane, Australia; Auckland, New Zealand; Sapporo and Sendai, Japan; Seoul, South Korea; and Beijing, China. |
• | Other ad hoc charters. |
Fuel
Our operations and financial results are significantly affected by the availability and price of jet fuel. The following table sets forth statistics about our aircraft fuel consumption and cost.
Year | Gallons consumed | Total cost, including taxes | Average cost per gallon | Percent of operating expenses | |||||||||
(in thousands) | |||||||||||||
2014 | 230,199 | $ | 678,253 | $ | 2.95 | 32.8 | % | ||||||
2013 | 226,214 | $ | 698,802 | $ | 3.09 | 34.6 | % | ||||||
2012 | 199,465 | $ | 631,741 | $ | 3.17 | 34.5 | % | ||||||
3
As illustrated by the table above, fuel costs constitute a significant portion of our operating expenses. We purchase aircraft fuel at prevailing market prices, but seek to manage market risk through the execution of a hedging strategy. To manage economic risks associated with fluctuations in aircraft fuel prices, we periodically enter into derivative financial instruments such as heating oil puts and swaps and crude oil call and put options and collars.
Aircraft Maintenance
Our aircraft maintenance programs consist of a series of phased or continuous checks for each aircraft type. These checks are performed at specified intervals measured by calendar months, time flown or by the number of takeoffs and landings, or cycles operated. In addition, we perform inspections, repairs and modifications of our aircraft in response to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) directives. Checks range from "walk around" inspections before each flight's departure, to major overhauls of the airframes which can take several weeks to complete. Aircraft engines are subject to phased maintenance programs designed to detect and remedy potential problems before they occur. The service lives of certain airframe and engine parts and components are time or cycle controlled, and such parts and components are replaced or refurbished prior to the expiration of their time or cycle limits. We have contracts with third parties to provide certain maintenance on our aircraft and aircraft engines.
Marketing and Ticket Distribution
We utilize various distribution channels including our website, www.hawaiianairlines.com, primarily for our North America and Neighbor Island routes, and travel agencies and wholesale distributors primarily for our International routes.
Our website, now available in English, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, offers our customers information on our flight schedules, information on our HawaiianMiles frequent flyer program, the ability to book reservations on our flights or connecting flights with any of our code-share partners, the status of our flights as well as the ability to purchase hotels, cars and vacation packages. We also publish fares with web-based travel services such as Orbitz, Travelocity, Expedia, Hotwire and Priceline. These comprehensive travel planning websites provide customers with convenient online access to airline, hotel, car rental and other travel services.
Frequent Flyer Program
The HawaiianMiles frequent flyer program was initiated in 1983 to encourage and develop customer loyalty. HawaiianMiles allows passengers to earn mileage credits by flying with us and our partner carriers. In addition, members earn mileage credits for patronage with our other program partners, including credit card issuers, hotels, car rental firms and general merchants, pursuant to our exchange partnership agreements. We also sell mileage credits to other companies participating in the program.
HawaiianMiles members have a choice of various awards based on accumulated mileage credits, with most of the awards being for free air travel on Hawaiian.
HawaiianMiles accounts with no activity (frequent flyer miles earned or redeemed) for 18 months automatically expire. The number of free travel awards used for travel on Hawaiian was approximately 536,000 in 2014. The amount of free travel awards as a percentage of total revenue passengers was approximately 5.3% in 2014. We believe displacement of revenue passengers is minimal due to our ability to manage frequent flyer seat inventory, and the relatively low ratio of free award usage to total revenue passengers.
Code-Share and Other Alliances
We have marketing alliances with other airlines that provide reciprocal frequent flyer mileage accrual and redemption privileges and code-shares on certain flights (one carrier placing its name and flight numbers, or code, on flights operated by the other carrier). These programs enhance our revenue opportunities by:
• | increasing value to our customers by offering easier access to more travel destinations and better mileage accrual/redemption opportunities; |
• | gaining access to more connecting traffic from other airlines; and |
• | providing members of our alliance partners' frequent flyer programs an opportunity to travel on our system while earning mileage credit in the alliance partners' programs. |
4
Our marketing alliances with other airlines as of December 31, 2014 were as follows:
Hawaiian Miles Frequent Flyer Agreement | Other Airline Frequent Flyer Agreement | Code-share—Hawaiian Flight # on Flights Operated by Other Airline | Code-share—Other Airline Flight # on Flights Operated by Hawaiian | ||||
Air China | No | No | Yes | Yes | |||
All Nippon Airways (ANA) | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |||
American Airlines (American) | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | |||
China Airlines | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |||
Delta Air Lines (Delta) | No | Yes | No | Yes | |||
JetBlue | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | |||
Korean Air | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | |||
United Airlines (United) | No | Yes | No | Yes | |||
US Airways | No | Yes | No | Yes | |||
Virgin America | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | |||
Virgin Atlantic Airways | Yes | Yes | No | No | |||
Virgin Australia | Yes | Yes | No | Yes | |||
Although these programs and services increase our ability to be more competitive, they also increase our reliance on third parties.
Competition
The airline industry is extremely competitive. We believe that the principal competitive factors in the airline industry are:
• | Price; |
• | Flight frequency and schedule; |
• | On-time performance and reliability; |
• | Name recognition; |
• | Marketing affiliations; |
• | Frequent flyer benefits; |
• | Customer service; |
• | Aircraft type; and |
• | In-flight services. |
North America—We face multiple competitors on our North America routes including major network carriers such as Alaska Airlines, American, United and Delta. Various charter companies also provide non scheduled service to Hawai'i mostly under public charter arrangements.
Neighbor Island—Our Neighbor Island competitors consist of regional carriers, which include Island Air, Mokulele Airlines, Pacific Wings and a number of other "air taxi" companies.
International—Currently, we are the only provider of direct service between Honolulu and each of Brisbane, Australia, Sapporo and Sendai, Japan; Pago Pago, American Samoa; and Papeete, Tahiti. However, we face multiple competitors from both domestic and foreign carriers on our other International routes.

Employees
As of December 31, 2014, we had 5,380 active employees, and approximately 86% of our employees were covered by labor agreements with the following organized labor groups:
Employee Group | Represented by | Number of Employees | Agreement amendable on(*) | |||
Flight deck crew members | Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) | 601 | September 15, 2015 | |||
Cabin crew members | Association of Flight Attendants (AFA) | 1,670 | January 1, 2017 | |||
Maintenance and engineering personnel | International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM-M) | 760 | April 20, 2014 | |||
Clerical | IAM-C | 1,534 | January 1, 2014 | |||
Flight dispatch personnel | Transport Workers Union (TWU) | 39 | November 1, 2013 | |||
(*) Our relations with our labor organizations are governed by Title II of the Railway Labor Act of 1926, pursuant to which the collective bargaining agreements between us and these organizations do not expire but instead become amendable as of a certain date if either party wishes to modify the terms of the agreement.
Seasonality
Hawai'i is a popular vacation destination for travelers. For that reason, our operations and financial results are subject to substantial seasonal and cyclical volatility, primarily due to leisure and holiday travel patterns. Demand levels are typically weaker in the first quarter of the year with stronger demand periods occurring during June, July, August and December. We may adjust our pricing or the availability of particular fares to obtain an optimal passenger load factor depending on seasonal demand differences.
Customers
Our business is not dependent upon any single customer, or a few customers. The loss of any one customer would not have a material adverse effect on our business.
Regulation
Our business is subject to extensive and evolving federal, state and local laws and regulations. Many governmental agencies regularly examine our operations to monitor compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Governmental authorities can enforce compliance with applicable laws and regulations and obtain injunctions or impose civil or criminal penalties or modify, suspend or revoke our operating certificates in case of violations.
Industry Regulations
We are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The DOT has jurisdiction over international routes and fares for some countries (based upon treaty relations with those countries), consumer protection policies including baggage liability and denied boarding compensation, and unfair competitive practices as set forth in the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978. The FAA has regulatory jurisdiction over flight operations, including equipment, ground facilities, security systems, maintenance and other safety matters. Pursuant to these regulations, we have established, and the FAA has approved, a maintenance program for each type of aircraft we operate that provides for the ongoing maintenance of our aircraft, ranging from frequent routine inspections to major overhauls.
Maintenance Directives
The FAA approves all airline maintenance programs, including modifications to the programs. In addition, the FAA licenses the repair stations and mechanics that perform inspections, repairs and overhauls, as well as the inspectors who monitor the work.
The FAA frequently issues airworthiness directives, often in response to specific incidents or reports by operators or manufacturers, requiring operators of specified equipment types to perform prescribed inspections, repairs or modifications within stated time periods or numbers of cycles. In the last several years, the FAA has issued a number of maintenance directives and other regulations relating to, among other things, wiring requirement for aging aircraft, fuel tank flammability, cargo compartment fire detection/suppression systems, collision avoidance systems, airborne windshear avoidance systems, noise abatement and increased inspection requirements.
6
Airport Security
The Aviation and Transportation Security Act (ATSA) mandates that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) provide for the screening of all passengers and property, including mail, cargo, carry-on and checked baggage, and other articles that will be carried aboard a passenger aircraft. Under the ATSA, substantially all security screeners at airports are federal employees and significant other elements of airline and airport security are now overseen and performed by federal employees, including security managers, law enforcement officers and Federal Air Marshals. The ATSA also provides for increased security on flight decks of aircraft and requires Federal Air Marshals to be present on certain flights, improved airport perimeter access security, airline crew security training, enhanced security screening of passengers, baggage, cargo, mail, employees and vendors, enhanced training and qualifications of security screening personnel, provision of passenger data to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and enhanced background checks.
The TSA also has the authority to impose additional fees on the air carriers, if necessary, to cover additional federal aviation security costs. In 2002, the TSA imposed an Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee (ASIF) on all airlines in operation prior to 2000 to assist in the cost of providing aviation security. The ASIF was assessed based on airlines' actual security costs for the year ended December 31, 2000. However, in connection with the passage of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013, the ASIF was repealed effective October 1, 2014.
Environmental and Employee Safety and Health
We are subject to various laws and government regulations concerning environmental matters and employee safety and health in the U.S. and other countries in which we do business. Many aspects of airlines' operations are subject to increasingly stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws protecting the environment. U.S. federal laws that have a particular impact on us include the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act. Certain of our operations are also subject to the oversight of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) concerning employee safety and health matters. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), OSHA, and other federal agencies have been authorized to promulgate regulations that affect our operations. In addition to these federal activities, various states have been delegated certain authority under the aforementioned federal statutes. Many state and local governments have adopted environmental and employee safety and health laws and regulations, some of which are similar to or stricter than federal requirements, such as California.
The EPA is authorized to regulate aircraft emissions and has historically implemented emissions control standards previously adopted by the International Civil Aviation Organization. Our aircraft comply with the existing EPA standards as applicable by engine design date.
We seek to minimize the impact of carbon emissions from our operations through reductions in our fuel consumption and other efforts. We have reduced the fuel needs of our aircraft fleet through the retirement and replacement of certain elements of our fleet and with newer, more fuel efficient aircraft. In addition, we have implemented fuel saving procedures in our flight and ground support operations that further reduce carbon emissions. In 2012, we earned the first-ever aviation based carbon credits, through the reduction of our carbon dioxide emissions with the use of an eco-friendly engine washing technology. We are also supporting efforts to develop alternative fuels and efforts to modernize the air traffic control system in the U.S. as part of our efforts to reduce our emissions and minimize our impact on the environment.
Noise Abatement
Under the Airport Noise and Capacity Act, the DOT allows local airport authorities to implement procedures designed to abate special noise problems, provided such procedures do not unreasonably interfere with interstate and foreign commerce, or the national transportation system. Certain airports, including the major airports at Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and San Jose, California and Sydney, Australia, have established airport restrictions to limit noise, including restrictions on aircraft types to be used and limits on the number of hourly or daily operations or the time of such operations. Local authorities at other airports could consider adopting similar noise regulations. In some instances, these restrictions have caused curtailments in services or increases in operating costs, and such restrictions could limit our ability to expand our operations.
Civil Reserve Air Fleet Program
The U.S. Department of Defense regulates the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) and government charters. We have elected to participate in the CRAF program by agreeing to make aircraft available to the federal government for use by the U.S. military under certain stages of readiness related to national emergencies. The program is a standby arrangement that allows the U.S. Department of Defense U.S. Transportation Command to call on as many as nine contractually committed Hawaiian aircraft and crews to supplement military airlift capabilities. None of our aircraft are presently mobilized under this program.
7
Other Regulations
The State of Hawai'i is uniquely dependent upon air transportation. The 2008 shutdowns of air carriers Aloha Airlines and ATA Airlines affected the State of Hawai'i, and its legislature responded by enacting legislation that reflects and attempts to address its concerns. For example, House Bill 2250 HD1, Act 1 of the 2008 Special Session, establishes a statutory scheme for the regulation of Hawai'i neighbor island air carriers, provided that federal legislation is enacted to permit its implementation. Congress has not enacted any legislation that would allow this legislation to go into effect.
Additionally, several aspects of airline operations are subject to regulation or oversight by federal agencies other than the FAA and the DOT. Federal antitrust laws are enforced by the U.S. Department of Justice. The U.S. Postal Service has jurisdiction over certain aspects of the transportation of mail and related services provided by our cargo services. Labor relations in the air transportation industry are generally regulated under the Railway Labor Act. We and other airlines certificated prior to October 24, 1978 are also subject to preferential hiring rights granted by the Airline Deregulation Act to certain airline employees who have been furloughed or terminated (other than for cause). The Federal Communications Commission issues licenses and regulates the use of all communications frequencies assigned to us and the other airlines. There is increased focus on consumer protection both on the federal and state level. We cannot predict the cost of such requirements on our operations.
Additional laws and regulations are proposed from time to time, which could significantly increase the cost of airline operations by imposing additional requirements or restrictions. U.S. law restricts the ownership of U.S. airlines to corporations where no more than 25% of the voting stock may be held by non-U.S. citizens and the airline must be under the actual control of U.S. citizens. The President and two thirds of the Board of Directors and other managing officers must also be U.S. citizens. Regulations also have been considered from time to time that would prohibit or restrict the ownership and/or transfer of airline routes or takeoff and landing slots and authorizations. Also, the award of international routes to U.S. carriers (and their retention) is regulated by treaties and related agreements between the U.S. and foreign governments, which are amended from time to time. We cannot predict what laws and regulations will be adopted or what changes to international air transportation treaties will be adopted, if any, or how we will be affected by those changes.
Business Segment Data
We operate in a single industry segment. All required financial segment information can be found in the consolidated financial statements.
Information about Geographic Revenue and Foreign Operations
Information concerning revenues by geographic area is set forth in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements. Information on risks attendant to our foreign operations is set forth in Item 1A, Risk Factors.
Available Information
General information about us, including the charters for the committees of our Board of Directors, can be found at http://www.hawaiianairlines.com/aboutus. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments and exhibits to those reports, are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we electronically file them with, or furnish them to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC maintains an Internet site that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC, which can be found at http://www.sec.gov. Information on our website is not incorporated into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or our other securities filings and is not a part of such filings.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.
In addition to the risks identified elsewhere in this report, the following risk factors apply to our business, results of operations and financial conditions:
ECONOMIC RISKS
Our business is affected by global economic volatility.
Our business and results of operations are significantly impacted by general world-wide economic conditions. Demand for discretionary purchases including air travel and vacations to Hawai'i remains unpredictable. Deterioration in demand may result in a reduction in our passenger traffic and/or increased competitive pressure on fares in the markets we serve, resulting in a negative impact to our results of operations and financial condition. We cannot assure that we would be able to offset such revenue reductions by reducing our costs.
8
Our business is highly dependent on the price and availability of fuel.
Our results and operations are heavily impacted by the price and availability of jet fuel. Fuel costs represented the single largest of Hawaiian's operating expenses for the last several years (33% of total operating expenses in 2014). The cost and availability of jet fuel remain volatile and are subject to political, economic and market factors that are generally outside of our control. Prices may be affected by many factors including, without limitation, the impact of political instability, crude oil production and refining capacity, unexpected changes in the availability of petroleum products due to disruptions at distribution systems or refineries, unpredicted increases in demand due to weather or the pace of global economic growth, inventory reserve levels of crude oil and other petroleum products, the relative fluctuation between the U.S. dollar and other major currencies and the actions of speculators in commodity markets. Because of the effects of these factors on the price and availability of jet fuel, the cost and future availability of fuel cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. Also, due to the competitive nature of the airline industry, there can be no assurance that we will be able to increase our fares or other fees to sufficiently offset increased fuel prices.
We enter into derivative agreements to protect against rising fuel costs. There is no assurance that such agreements will protect us against price volatility during unfavorable market conditions or that our counterparties will be able to perform under these hedge arrangements. Also, if fuel prices fall significantly below the levels in existence at the time we enter into our hedging contracts, we may be required to post a significant amount of cash collateral, which could have an impact on the level of our unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and adversely affect our liquidity.
Also, see Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, for further information regarding our exposure to the price of fuel.
Our business is highly dependent on tourism to, from and amongst the Hawaiian Islands and our financial results could suffer if there is a downturn in tourism levels.
Our principal base of operations is in Hawai'i and our revenue is linked primarily to the number of travelers (mostly tourists) to, from and amongst the Hawaiian Islands. Hawai'i tourism levels are affected by, among other things, the political and economic climate in Hawai'i's main tourism markets, the availability of hotel accommodations, promotional spending by competing destinations, the popularity of Hawai'i as a tourist destination relative to other vacation destinations and other global factors, including natural disasters, safety and security. From time to time, various events and industry specific problems such as labor strikes have had a negative impact on tourism in Hawai'i. The occurrence of natural disasters, such as earthquakes and tsunamis, in Hawai'i or other parts of the world, could also have a material adverse effect on Hawai'i tourism. In addition, the potential or actual occurrence of terrorist attacks, wars, and the threat of other negative world events have had, and may in the future again have, a material adverse effect on Hawai'i tourism. No assurance can be given that the level of passenger traffic to Hawai'i will not decline in the future. A decline in the level of Hawai'i passenger traffic could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our business is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations.
Our business is expanding internationally with an increasing percentage of our passenger revenue generated from our International routes. Fluctuations in foreign currencies can significantly affect our results of operations and financial condition. To manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates, we periodically enter into foreign currency forward contracts. There is no assurance that such agreements will protect us against foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations during unfavorable market conditions or that our counterparties will be able to perform under these hedge arrangements.
LIQUIDITY RISKS
See Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, for further information regarding our liquidity.
Our financial liquidity could be adversely affected by credit market conditions.
Our business requires access to capital markets to finance equipment purchases, including aircraft, and to provide liquidity in seasonal or cyclical periods of weaker revenue generation. In particular, we will face specific funding requirements with respect to our obligation under purchase agreements with Airbus to acquire new aircraft. We intend to finance these upcoming aircraft deliveries; however, the unpredictability of global credit market conditions may adversely affect the availability of financing or may result in unfavorable terms and conditions. We can offer no assurance that the financing we need will be available when required or that the economic terms on which it is available will not adversely affect our financial condition. If we cannot obtain financing or we cannot obtain financing on commercially reasonable terms, our business and financial condition will be adversely affected.
9
Our substantial debt could adversely affect our liquidity and financial condition, and include covenants that impose restrictions on our financial and business operations.
As of December 31, 2014, we had $948 million in outstanding debt. Our substantial debt and related covenants could:
• | expose us to general adverse economic and industry conditions; |
• | require us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow for other operational purposes; |
• | limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industry in which we operate; |
• | limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the agreements governing our debt, our ability to borrow additional funds; |
• | place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to other less leveraged competitors and competitors with debt agreements on more favorable terms than us; and |
• | adversely affect our ability to secure additional financing in the future on acceptable terms or at all, which would impact our ability to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general purpose needs. |
The terms of certain of our financing agreements restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends.
These agreements also require us to meet certain financial covenants. If we breach any of these covenants it could result in a default under these facilities, which could cause our outstanding obligations under these facilities to accelerate and become due and payable immediately, and could also cause us to default under our other debt or lease obligations and lead to an acceleration of the obligations related to such other debt or lease obligations. The existence of such a default could also preclude us from borrowing funds under our credit facilities.
Our ability to comply with the provisions of financing agreements can be affected by events beyond our control and a default under any such financing agreements if not cured or waived, could have a material adverse effect on us. In the event our debt is accelerated, we may not have sufficient liquidity to repay these obligations or to refinance our debt obligations, resulting in a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
We could be required to maintain reserves under our credit card processing agreements which could adversely affect our financial and business operations.
Under our bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks totaled $5.0 million as of December 31, 2014. In the event of a material adverse change in our business, the holdback could incrementally increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If we are unable to obtain a waiver, or otherwise mitigate the increase in restricted cash, it could adversely affect our liquidity and also cause a covenant violation under other debt or lease obligations and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.
Our obligations for funding our defined benefit pension plans are significant and are affected by factors beyond our control.
We sponsor three defined benefit pension plans, as well as a separate plan to administer pilots' disability benefits. As of December 31, 2014, the unfunded pension and disability obligation related to these plans was $222 million. The timing and amount of funding requirements depend upon a number of factors, including labor negotiations and changes to pension plan benefits as well as factors outside our control, such as the number and demographic data of qualified retiring employees, asset returns, interest rates and changes in pension laws. These factors, along with the impact of results that can vary significantly from estimates, may significantly impact our funding requirements and have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
Our ability to use our net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be significantly limited due to various circumstances, including certain possible future transactions involving the sale or issuance of our common stock.
Our ability to use our NOL carryforwards may be limited if we experience an "ownership change" as defined in Section 382 ("Section 382") of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. An ownership change generally occurs if certain stockholders increase their aggregate percentage ownership of a corporation's stock by more than 50 percentage points over their lowest percentage ownership at any time during the testing period, which is generally the three-year period preceding any potential ownership change.
There is no assurance that we will not experience a future ownership change under Section 382 that may significantly limit or possibly eliminate our ability to use our NOL carryforwards. Potential future transactions involving the sale or issuance of our
10
common stock, including the exercise of conversion options under the terms of our convertible notes, repurchase of such debt with our common stock, issuance of our common stock for cash and the acquisition or disposition of such stock by a stockholder owning 5% or more of our common stock, or a combination of such transactions, may increase the possibility that we will experience a future ownership change under Section 382.
Under Section 382, a future ownership change could subject us to additional annual limitations that apply to the amount of pre-ownership change NOL carryforwards that may be used to offset post-ownership change taxable income. This limitation is generally determined by multiplying the value of a corporation's stock immediately before the ownership change by the applicable long-term tax-exempt rate. Any unused annual limitation may, subject to certain limits, be carried over to later years, and the limitation may under certain circumstances be increased by built-in gains (for example, the amount by which the fair market value of an asset exceeds our adjusted basis) in the assets held by us at the time of the ownership change. This limitation could cause our U.S. federal income taxes to be greater, or to be paid earlier, than they otherwise would be, and could cause all or a portion of our NOL carryforwards to expire unused. Similar rules and limitations may apply for state income tax purposes.
The settlement of our convertible notes in cash and/or common stock could negatively impact our liquidity position and cause dilution to the interests of our existing stockholders.
As of December 31, 2014, we had $71 million aggregate principal amount of convertible notes outstanding. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014, a condition for conversion was satisfied, which permits holders of the convertible notes to surrender their notes for conversion during the quarter ending March 31, 2015. It is our intent to settle the principal amount of the convertible notes in cash upon conversion. However, we have the right to alternatively deliver shares of our common stock or a combination thereof to settle this obligation. Settlement of the outstanding convertible notes in cash may have an adverse impact on our liquidity, while the issuance of shares to settle this obligation could cause significant dilution to the interests of the existing stockholders.
COMPETITIVE ENVIRONMENT RISKS
We operate in an extremely competitive environment.
The airline industry is characterized by low profit margins, high fixed costs and significant price competition. We currently compete with other airlines on our Neighbor Island, North America and International routes. The commencement of, or increase in, service on our routes by existing or new carriers could negatively impact our operating results. Many of our competitors on our North America and International routes are larger and have greater financial resources and brand recognition than we do. Aggressive marketing tactics or a prolonged fare war initiated by one or more of these competitors could adversely affect our financial resources and our ability to compete in these markets. Since airline markets have few natural barriers to entry, we also face the threat of new entrants in all of our markets, including competition from low-cost carriers (LCC). For example, Allegiant, a LCC, launched flights from the West Coast to Hawai'i in 2012 while Southwest Airlines has taken steps to enable it to provide service to Hawai'i in the future, but has yet to formally announce the service.
Furthermore, large network carriers have significantly reduced their costs and adjusted their routes to compete with LCCs in their existing markets by diverting resources to long-haul markets such as Hawai'i, where LCC competition has been less severe. Additional capacity to Hawai'i, whether from network carriers or LCCs, could decrease our share of the markets in which we operate, could cause a decline in our yields, or both, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Airline bankruptcy restructuring, strategic combinations or industry consolidation could have an impact on our competitive environment.
Many of our competitors have dramatically reduced operating costs through a combination of bankruptcy restructuring, industry consolidation and vendor and labor negotiations to increase market strength. Several domestic airlines were able to reduce labor costs, restructure debt and lease agreements and implement other financial improvements through the bankruptcy process. In addition, certain of our competitors have merged (for example the American Airlines and US Airways merger in December 2013) to create larger and more financially sound airlines.
Through consolidation, carriers have the opportunity to achieve cost reductions by eliminating redundancy in their networks and operating structures. With reduced costs, these competitors are more capable of operating profitably in an environment of reduced fares and may, as a result, increase service in our primary markets or reduce fares to attract additional customers. Because airline customers are price sensitive, we cannot ensure that we will be able to attract a sufficient number of customers at sufficiently high fare levels to generate profitability, or that we will be able to reduce our operating costs sufficiently to remain competitive with these other airlines.
11
The concentration of our business in Hawai'i, and between Hawai'i and the U.S. mainland, provides little diversification of our revenue.
During fiscal year 2014, approximately 73% of our passenger revenue was generated from air transportation between the Hawaiian Islands and the U.S. mainland, and amongst the Hawaiian Islands. Many of our competitors, particularly major network carriers with whom we compete on our North America routes, enjoy greater geographical diversification of their revenue. A reduction in the level of demand for travel within Hawai'i, or to Hawai'i from the U.S. mainland, or an increase in the level of industry capacity on these routes may reduce the revenue we are able to generate and adversely affect our financial results. As these routes account for a significantly higher proportion of our revenue than they do for many of our competitors, such a reduction would have a relatively greater adverse effect on our financial results.
Our business is affected by the competitive advantages held by network carriers in the North America market.
During fiscal year 2014, approximately 49% of our passenger revenue was generated from our North America routes. The majority of competition on our North America routes is from network carriers such as Alaska, American, Delta and United that have a number of competitive advantages. Primarily, network carriers generate passenger traffic from and throughout the U.S. mainland, which enable them to attract higher customer traffic levels as compared to us.
In contrast, we lack a comparable direct network to feed passengers to our North America flights and are therefore more reliant on passenger demand in the specific cities we serve. We also rely on our code-share partner agreements (jetBlue, Virgin America Airlines, etc.) to provide customers access to and from North America destinations currently unserved by us. Most network carriers operate from hubs, which can provide a built-in market of passengers, depending on the economic strength of the hub city and the size of the customer group that frequent the airline. Our Honolulu and Maui hubs do not originate a large proportion of North American travel, nor do they have the population or potential customer franchise of a larger city to provide us with a built-in market. Passengers in the North America market, for the most part, do not originate in Honolulu, but rather on the U.S. mainland, making Honolulu primarily a destination rather than an origin of passenger traffic.
Our Neighbor Island market is affected by narrow body competition from regional carriers.
During fiscal year 2014, approximately 24% of our passenger revenue was generated from our Neighbor Island routes. Although we enjoy a strong competitive position on the Neighbor Island service, increased competition from regional carriers is possible. A decline in our share of the Neighbor Island market due to increased capacity provided by our competitors could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Our International routes are affected by competition from domestic and foreign carriers.
During fiscal year 2014, approximately 27% of our revenue was generated from our International routes. Our competitors on these routes include both domestic and foreign carriers. Both domestic and foreign competitors have a number of competitive advantages that may enable them to attract higher customer traffic levels as compared to us.
Many of our domestic competitors have joined airline alliances, which provide customers access to each participating airline's international network, allowing for convenience and connectivity to their destinations. These alliances formed by our domestic competitors have increased in recent years. In some instances our domestic competitors have been granted antitrust exemptions to form joint venture arrangements in certain geographies, further deepening their cooperation on certain routes. We currently do not participate in a world-wide airline alliance or any joint ventures, which may negatively impact our market share and operations as capacity provided by our competitors increase. To mitigate this risk, we rely on code-share agreements with partner airlines to provide customers access to international destinations currently unserved by us.
Many of our foreign competitors are network carriers that generate passenger traffic throughout International routes that we service. In contrast, we lack a comparable direct network to feed passengers to our International flights, and are therefore more reliant on passenger demand in the specific destinations that we serve. Most network carriers operate from hubs, which can provide a built-in home base market of passengers. Passengers on our International routes, for the most part, do not originate in Hawai'i, but rather internationally, in these foreign markets' home base. We also rely on our code-share agreements and our relationships with travel agencies and wholesale distributors to provide customers access to and from International destinations currently unserved by us.
STRATEGY AND BRAND RISKS
Our failure to successfully implement our route and network maturation strategy could harm our business.
Our route maturation strategy includes initiatives to increase revenue, decrease costs, mature our network, and improve our distribution sales channels. It is critical that we execute upon our planned strategy in order for our business to attain economies of scale and to sustain or improve our results of operations. If we are unable to utilize and fill increased capacity provided by
12
additional aircraft entering our fleet, hire and retain skilled personnel, or secure the required equipment and facilities in a cost-effective manner, we may be unable to successfully develop and grow our existing markets, which may adversely affect our business and operations.
We continue to strive toward aggressive cost-containment goals which are an important part of our business strategy to offer the best value to passengers through competitive fares while maintaining acceptable profit margins and return on capital. We believe a lower cost structure will better position us to fund our strategy and take advantage of market opportunities. If we are unable to adequately contain our non-fuel unit costs, our financial results may suffer.
Our reputation and financial results could be harmed in the event of adverse publicity, including the event of an aircraft accident.
Our customer base is broad and our business activities have significant prominence, particularly in Hawai'i and other destinations we serve. Consequently, negative publicity resulting from real or perceived shortcomings in our customer service, employee relations, business conduct, or other events affecting our operations could negatively affect the public image of our company and the willingness of customers to purchase services from us, which could affect our financial results.
Additionally, we are exposed to potential losses that may be incurred in the event of an aircraft accident. Any such accident could involve not only the repair or replacement of a damaged aircraft and its consequential temporary or permanent loss of revenue, but also significant potential claims of injured passengers and others. We are required by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) to carry liability insurance, and although we currently maintain liability insurance in amounts consistent with the industry, we cannot be assured that our insurance coverage will adequately cover us from all claims and we may be forced to bear substantial losses incurred with the accident. In addition, any aircraft accident or incident could cause a public perception that we are less safe or reliable than other airlines, which would harm our business.
FLEET AND FLEET-RELATED RISKS
We are dependent on a limited number of suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines and parts.
We are dependent on The Boeing Company (Boeing) and Airbus S.A.S. (Airbus) as our primary suppliers of aircraft and aircraft-related items. As a result, we are vulnerable to any problems associated with the supply of those aircraft and parts which could result in increased parts and maintenance costs in future years.
Our agreements to purchase Airbus A330-200, A321neo aircraft, and A330-800neo aircraft represent significant future financial commitments and operating costs.
As of December 31, 2014, we had the following firm order commitments and purchase rights for aircraft:
Aircraft Type | Firm Orders | Purchase Rights | Expected Delivery Dates | ||||
A330-200 aircraft | 3 | 3 | In 2015 | ||||
A330-800neo aircraft | 6 | 6 | Between 2019 and 2021 | ||||
A321neo aircraft | 16 | 9 | Between 2017 and 2020 | ||||
We have made substantial pre-delivery payments for Airbus aircraft under existing purchase agreements and are required to continue these pre-delivery payments as well as payments for the balance of the purchase price through delivery of each aircraft. These commitments substantially increase our future capital spending requirements and will require us to significantly increase our level of debt in future years. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise capital to finance these requirements or that such financing can be obtained on favorable terms, or at all.
The Airbus aircraft will replace expiring leased and retiring Boeing 767-300 aircraft in future years. We cannot be assured that the associated return and retirement costs will not exceed our expectations and adversely impact our results of operations and liquidity.
Delays in scheduled aircraft deliveries or other loss of fleet capacity may adversely impact our operations and financial results.
The success of our business depends on, among other things, the ability to effectively operate a certain number and type of aircraft. As mentioned above, we have contractual commitments to purchase and integrate Airbus aircraft into our fleet. If for any reason we are unable to secure deliveries of the Airbus aircraft on contractually scheduled delivery dates and successfully introduce these aircraft into our fleet, then our business, operations and financial performance could be negatively impacted. Our failure to integrate newly purchased Airbus aircraft into our fleet as planned may require us to seek extensions on our
13
existing leased aircraft. Such extensions may require us to operate existing aircraft beyond the point at which it is economically optimal to retire them, resulting in increased maintenance costs.
COMMON STOCK RISKS
Our share price is subject to fluctuations and stockholders could have difficulty trading shares.
The market price of our stock is influenced by many factors, a number of which are outside of our control, and include the following:
• | operating results and financial condition; |
• | changes in the competitive environment in which we operate; |
• | fuel price volatility including the availability of fuel; |
• | announcements concerning our competitors including bankruptcy filings, mergers, restructurings or acquisitions by other airlines; |
• | increases or changes in government regulation; |
• | general and industry specific market conditions; |
• | changes in financial estimates or recommendations by securities analysts; and |
• | sales of our common stock or other actions by investors with significant shareholdings. |
In recent years the stock market has experienced volatile price and volume fluctuations that often have been unrelated to the operating performance of individual companies. These market fluctuations, as well as general economic conditions may affect the price of our common stock.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been instituted against a company following periods of volatility in the company's stock price. This type of litigation, if filed against us, could result in substantial costs and divert our management's attention and resources. In addition, the future sale of a substantial number of shares of common stock by us or by our existing stockholders may have an adverse impact on the market price of the shares of common stock. There can be no assurance that the trading price of our common stock will remain at or near its current level.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND THIRD-PARTY RISKS
We are increasingly dependent on technology and automated systems to operate our business.
We depend heavily on technology and automated systems to effectively operate our business. These systems include flight operations systems, communications systems, airport systems, reservations systems, management and accounting systems, commercial websites, including www.hawaiianairlines.com, and other systems, all of which must be able to accommodate high traffic volumes, maintain secure information and provide accurate flight information, as well as process critical financial related transactions. Any substantial or repeated failures of these systems could negatively affect our customer service, compromise the security of customer information, result in the loss of important data, loss of revenue and increased costs, and generally harm our business. Like other companies, our systems may be vulnerable to disruptions due to events beyond our control, including natural disasters, power disruptions, software or equipment failures, terrorist attacks, cybersecurity threats, computer viruses and hackers. There can be no assurance that the measures we have taken to reduce the adverse effects of certain potential failures or disruptions are adequate to prevent or remedy disruptions of our systems. In addition, we will need to continuously make significant investments in technology to periodically upgrade and replace existing systems. If we are unable to make these investments or fail to successfully implement, upgrade or replace our systems, our business could be adversely impacted.
If we do not maintain the privacy and security of customer-related information, we could damage our reputation, incur substantial additional costs and become subject to litigation.
We receive, retain, and transmit certain personal information about our customers. In addition, our online operation at www.hawaiianairlines.com relies on the secure transmission of confidential information over public networks, including credit card information. A compromise of our physical and network security systems through a cybersecurity attack, including those of our business partners, may result in our customers' personal information being obtained by unauthorized persons, which could adversely affect our reputation, as well as negatively impact our business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity, and could result in the imposition of penalties or litigation against us. In addition, a cybersecurity breach could require that we expend significant additional resources related to the security of information systems which could result in a disruption of our operations.
14
We are highly reliant on third-party contractors to provide certain facilities and services for our operations, and termination of our third-party agreements could have a potentially adverse effect on our financial results.
We have historically relied on outside vendors for a variety of services and functions critical to our business, including aircraft maintenance and parts, code-sharing, reservations, computer services including hosting and software maintenance, accounting, frequent flyer programs, passenger processing, ground facilities, baggage and cargo handling, personnel training and the distribution and sale of airline seats. As part of our cost-reduction efforts, our reliance on outside vendors has increased and may continue to do so in the future.
The failure of any of our third-party service providers to adequately perform our service obligations, or other interruptions of services, may reduce our revenues, increase expenses, and prevent us from operating our flights and providing other services to our customers. In addition, our business and financial performance could be materially harmed if our customers believe that our services are unreliable or unsatisfactory.
LABOR RELATIONS AND RELATED COSTS RISKS
We are dependent on satisfactory labor relations.
Labor costs are a significant component of airline expenses and can substantially impact an airline's results of operations. A significant portion of our workforce is represented by labor unions. We may make strategic and operational decisions that require the consent of one or more of these labor unions, and these labor unions could demand additional wages, benefits or other consideration in return for their consent.
In addition, we have entered into collective bargaining agreements with our pilots, mechanical group employees, clerical group employees, flight attendants and dispatchers. We cannot ensure that future agreements with our employees' labor unions will be on terms in line with our expectations or comparable to agreements entered into by our competitors, and any future agreements may increase our labor costs or otherwise adversely affect our business. If we are unable to reach an agreement with any unionized work group, we may be subject to future work interruptions and/or stoppages, which may hamper or halt operations.
Our operations may be adversely affected if we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel and key executives.
We are dependent on the knowledge and expertise of our key executives. Attracting and retaining such personnel in the airline industry is highly competitive. We cannot be certain that we will be able to retain our key executives or attract other qualified personnel in the future. Any inability to retain our key executives, or attract and retain additional qualified executives, could have a negative impact on our operations.
In addition, as we continue to expand our operations through the acquisition of new aircraft and introduction of service to new markets, it may be challenging to attract qualified personnel including pilots, mechanics and other skilled labor. As we compete with other carriers for qualified personnel we also face the challenge of attracting individuals who embrace our team-oriented, friendly and customer-driven corporate culture. Our inability to attract and retain qualified personnel who embrace our corporate culture could have a negative impact on our reputation and overall operations.
A higher than normal number of pilot retirements could adversely affect us.
We currently have a large number of pilots eligible for retirement. Among other things, the extension of pilot careers facilitated by the FAA’s 2007 modification of the mandatory retirement age from age 60 to age 65 has now been fully implemented, resulting in large numbers of pilots in the industry approaching the revised mandatory retirement age. If pilot retirements were to exceed normal levels in the future, it may adversely affect our operations.
AIRLINE INDUSTRY, REGULATION AND RELATED COSTS RISKS
The airline industry has substantial operating leverage and is affected by many conditions that are beyond its control, including delays, cancellations and other conditions, which could harm our financial condition and results of operations.
The airline industry operates on low gross profit margins as a result of a high percentage of fixed costs. Due to these fixed costs, there is a disproportionate relationship between the cost of operating each flight and the number of passengers carried. However, the revenue generated from a particular flight is directly related to the number of passengers carried and the respective average fares applied. Accordingly, a decrease in the number of passengers carried would cause a corresponding decrease in revenue (if not offset by higher fares), and it may result in a disproportionately greater decrease in profits. Therefore, any general reduction in airline passenger traffic as a result of any of the following or other factors, which are largely outside of our control, could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations:
• | decline in general economic conditions; |
• | continued threat of terrorist attacks and conflicts overseas; |
15
• | actual or threatened war and political instability; |
• | adverse weather and natural disasters; |
• | changes in consumer preferences, perceptions or spending patterns; |
• | increased costs related to security and safety measures; |
• | outbreak of contagious diseases; and |
• | actual or potential disruptions in the air traffic control system. |
Our results from operations may be volatile due to the conditions identified above. We cannot ensure that our financial resources will be sufficient to absorb the effects of any of these unexpected factors should they arise.
Our business is subject to substantial seasonal and cyclical volatility.
Our results of operations will reflect the impact of seasonal volatility primarily due to passenger leisure and holiday travel patterns. As Hawai'i is a popular vacation destination, demand from North America, our largest source of visitors, is typically stronger during June, July, August and December and considerably weaker at other times of the year. Because of fluctuations in our results from seasonality, operating results for a historical period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for a future period and operating results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire year.
Terrorist attacks or international hostilities, or the fear of terrorist attacks or hostilities, even if not made directly on the airline industry, could negatively affect us and the airline industry.
Terrorist attacks, even if not made directly on the airline industry, or the fear of such attacks, hostilities or act of war, could adversely affect the airline industry, including us, and could result in a significant decrease in demand for air travel, increased security costs, increased insurance costs covering war-related risks, and increased flight operational loss due to cancellations and delays. Any future terrorist attacks or the implementation of additional security-related fees could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and on the airline industry in general.
The airline industry is subject to extensive government regulation, new regulations, and taxes which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
Airlines are subject to extensive regulatory requirements that result in significant costs. Additional laws, regulations, taxes and airport rates and charges imposed by domestic and foreign governments have been proposed from time to time that could significantly increase the cost of airline operations or reduce revenue. For example, the ATSA, which became law in November 2001, mandates the federalization of certain airport security procedures and imposes additional security requirements on airlines. The FAA from time to time issues directives and other regulations relating to the maintenance and operation of aircraft that require significant expenditures. Some FAA requirements cover, among other things, retirement of older aircraft, security measures, collision avoidance systems, airborne windshear avoidance systems, noise abatement and other environmental concerns, commuter aircraft safety and increased inspections and maintenance procedures to be conducted on older aircraft. A failure to be in compliance, or a modification, suspension or revocation of any of our DOT/FAA authorizations or certificates would have a material adverse impact on our operations.
We cannot predict the impact that laws or regulations may have on our operations, nor can we ensure that laws or regulations enacted in the future will not adversely affect our business. Further we cannot guarantee that we will be able to obtain or maintain necessary governmental approvals. Once obtained, operating permits are subject to modification and revocation by the issuing agencies. Compliance with these and any future regulatory requirements could require us to incur significant capital and operating expenditures.
In addition to extensive government regulations, the airline industry is dependent on certain services provided by government agencies (DOT, FAA, etc.). For example, spending restrictions due to federal sequestration of air traffic controllers in the United States subject to furlough may lead to a reduction in air traffic control services. A reduction in such services could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Furthermore, because of significantly higher security and other costs incurred by airports since September 11, 2001, many airports have significantly increased their rates and charges to airlines, including us, and may do so again in the future.
16
The airline industry is required to comply with various environmental laws and regulations, which could inhibit our ability to operate and could also have an adverse effect on our results of operations.
Many aspects of airlines' operations are subject to increasingly stringent federal, state, local and foreign laws protecting the environment. U.S. federal laws that have a particular impact on us include the Airport Noise and Capacity Act of 1990, the Clean Air Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Comprehensive Environmental Response Act and the Compensation and Liability Act. Compliance with these and other environmental laws and regulations can require significant expenditures, and violations can lead to significant fines and penalties. Governments globally are increasingly focusing on the environmental impact caused by the consumption of fossil fuels and as a result have proposed or enacted legislation which may increase the cost of providing airline service or restrict its provision. We expect the focus on environmental matters to increase.
Concern about climate change and greenhouse gases may result in additional regulation of aircraft emissions in the U.S. and abroad. As a result, we may become subject to taxes, charges or additional requirements to obtain permits or purchase allowances or emission credits for greenhouse gas emissions in various jurisdictions, which could result in taxation or permitting requirements from multiple jurisdictions for the same operations.
Cap and trade restrictions have also been proposed in Congress. In addition, other legislative or regulatory action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions is possible. In particular, the EPA has found that greenhouse gases threaten the public health and welfare, which could result in regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from aircraft. In the event that legislation or regulation is enacted in the U.S. or in the event similar legislation or regulation is enacted in jurisdictions where we operate or where we may operate in the future, it could adversely affect operations and result in significant costs for us and the airline industry. At this time, we cannot predict whether any such legislation or regulation would apportion costs between one or more jurisdictions in which we operate flights. Under these systems, certain credits may be available to reduce the costs of permits in order to mitigate the impact of such regulations on consumers, but we cannot predict whether we or the airline industry in general will have access to offsets or credits. We are monitoring and evaluating the potential impact of such legislative and regulatory developments.
In addition to direct costs, such regulation may have a greater effect on the airline industry through increases in fuel costs that could result from fuel suppliers passing on increased costs that they incur under such a system. The impact to us and our industry from such actions is likely to be adverse and could be significant, particularly if regulators were to conclude that emissions from commercial aircraft cause significant harm to the upper atmosphere or have a greater impact on climate change than other industries.
Our operations may be adversely affected by our expansion into non-U.S. jurisdictions and the related increase in laws to which we are subject.
The expansion of our operations into non-U.S. jurisdictions has expanded the scope of the laws to which we are subject, both domestically and internationally. In addition, operations in non-U.S. jurisdictions are in many cases subject to the laws of those jurisdictions rather than U.S. law. Laws in some jurisdictions differ in significant respects from those in the United States, and these differences can affect our ability to react to changes in our business. Further, enforcement of laws in some jurisdictions can be inconsistent and unpredictable, which can affect our ability to enforce our rights and to undertake activities that we believe are beneficial to our business.
Our financial results and operations may be negatively affected by the State of Hawai'i's airport modernization plan.
The State of Hawai'i has begun to implement a modernization plan encompassing the airports we serve within the State. Our landing fees and airport rent rates have increased to fund the modernization program. Additionally, we expect the costs for our Neighbor Island operations to increase more than the costs related to our North America and International operations due to phased adjustments to the airport's funding mechanism. Therefore, costs related to the modernization program will have a greater impact on our operations as compared to our competitors, who do not have significant Neighbor Island operations. We can offer no assurance that we will be successful in offsetting these cost increases through other cost reductions or increases in our revenue and, therefore, can offer no assurance that our future financial results will not be negatively affected by them.
The construction work that is performed in connection with the State's modernization plan has temporarily narrowed the taxilanes used by our aircraft to depart and arrive at our assigned terminal. The temporary narrowing of the taxilanes has congested the aircraft traffic in these areas, which has resulted in the delay of the departure and arrival of our aircraft. Significant delays and potential displacement resulting from the State's modernization plan may have a negative impact on our operations and on-time performance.

Our operations may be disrupted if we are unable to obtain and maintain adequate facilities and infrastructure at airports within the State of Hawai'i.
We must be able to maintain and/or obtain adequate gates, office space, operations area and ticketing facilities at the airports within the State of Hawai'i to be able to operate our existing and proposed flight schedules. Failure to maintain such facilities and infrastructure may adversely impact our operations and financial performance.
Our insurance costs are susceptible to significant increases and further increases in insurance costs or reductions in coverage could have an adverse effect on our financial results.
We carry types and amounts of insurance customary in the airline industry, including coverage for general liability, passenger liability, property damage, aircraft loss or damage, baggage and cargo liability and workers' compensation. We are required by the DOT to carry liability insurance on each of our aircraft. We currently maintain commercial airline insurance with a major group of independent insurers that regularly participate in world aviation insurance markets, including public liability insurance and coverage for losses resulting from the physical destruction or damage to our aircraft. However, there can be no assurance that the amount of such coverage will not change or that we will not bear substantial losses from accidents or damage to, or loss of, aircraft or other property due to other factors such as natural disasters. We could incur substantial claims resulting from an accident or damage to, or loss of, aircraft or other property due to other factors such as natural disasters in excess of related insurance coverage that could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.
Following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, our insurance costs increased significantly and the availability of third-party war risk (terrorism) insurance decreased significantly. We have obtained third-party war risk (terrorism) insurance through a special program administered by the FAA. An extension of such authority will require legislation by the U.S. Congress. Should the government discontinue this coverage, obtaining comparable coverage from commercial underwriters could result in substantially higher premiums and more restrictive terms, if it is available at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate third-party war risk (terrorism) insurance, our business could be materially and adversely affected.

(1) | During 2014, we took delivery and placed into revenue service five Airbus A330-200 aircraft for service on our North America and International routes. These aircraft were financed in part through proceeds from our EETC financing transaction. The increase in the number of leased aircraft in 2015 is due to the planned delivery of three aircraft to be financed through purchase assignment and lease transactions. See Note 8 for further discussion regarding the EETC financing transaction and Note 13 for further discussion regarding the purchase assignment and lease transactions. |
(2) | During 2014, we retired two Boeing 767-300 aircraft at the end of their estimated useful life. The decrease in the number of owned Boeing 767-300 aircraft from 2014 to 2015 is due to the planned return of two aircraft at the end of their lease terms. |
18
(3) | The ATR42 aircraft are owned by Airline Contract Maintenance & Equipment, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. |
(4) | Leased aircraft include both aircraft under capital and operating leases. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our aircraft leases. |
At December 31, 2014, we had firm aircraft orders as detailed below:

(1) | Firm orders include three Airbus A330-200 aircraft for which Hawaiian has secured financing through purchase assignment and lease transactions as discussed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements. |
(2) | In 2013, Hawaiian executed a purchase agreement for the purchase of 16 new Airbus A321neo aircraft scheduled for delivery between 2017 and 2020. The A321neo narrow-body aircraft will be used to complement Hawaiian's existing fleet of wide-body aircraft for travel to and from the West Coast on its North America routes. |
(3) | In 2014, Hawaiian entered into an amendment (the "Purchase Agreement Amendment") to the Airbus A330/A350XWB Purchase Agreement to convert its order for six firm A350XWB-800 aircraft with an additional six purchase rights into an order for six firm A330-800neo aircraft with an additional six purchase rights. The Purchase Agreement Amendment provides for delivery, subject to certain flexibility rights, of six A330-800neo aircraft starting in 2019. These fuel efficient, long-range aircraft will complement our existing fleet of wide-body, twin aisle aircraft used for long-haul flying on our North America and International routes. |
Hawaiian has purchase rights for an additional three A330-200 aircraft, nine A321neo aircraft and six A330-800neo aircraft and can utilize these rights subject to production availability. Leases on three of the remaining six Boeing 767-300 leased aircraft will expire by the end of 2016. See Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our aircraft lease agreements.
Ground Facilities
Our principal terminal facilities, cargo facilities and hangar and maintenance facilities are located at the Honolulu International Airport (HNL). The majority of the facilities at HNL are leased on a month-to-month basis. We are also charged for the use of terminal facilities at the four major Neighbor Island airports owned by the State of Hawai'i. Some terminal facilities, including gates and holding rooms, are considered by the State of Hawai'i to be common areas and thus are not exclusively controlled by us. Other facilities, including station managers' offices, Premier Club lounges and operations support space, are considered exclusive-use space by the State of Hawai'i.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
Overview
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the Company and its operations. This discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and projections of future events. However, our actual results could differ materially from those discussed herein as a result of the risks that we face, including but not limited to those risks stated in "Risk Factors." See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements," above. In addition, the following discussion should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.
Year in Review
2014 Financial Highlights
• | Operating income grew to $245 million compared to $134 million in the prior-year period. |
• | Pre-tax income grew to $113 million compared to $86 million in the prior-year period. |
• | GAAP net income of $69 million or $1.10 per diluted share compared to $52 million or $0.98 per diluted share in the prior-year period. |
• | Adjusted net income, reflecting economic fuel expense, of $97 million or $1.55 per diluted share compared to $47 million or $0.88 per share in the prior-year period. |
• | Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $524 million compared to $423 million in the prior year period. |
See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" below for our reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.
Outlook
We expect our financial performance to improve in the first quarter of 2015 compared to the same quarter in 2014, primarily the result of lower fuel costs. We expect available seat miles during the first quarter of 2015 to increase by 3.5% to 5.5% from the same prior year period. However, with the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar, decrease in fuel surcharges on our international routes, and increase in industry capacity on our North America routes, operating revenue per available seat mile is expected to decrease by 3.5% to 6.5% from the same prior year period. We expect operating cost per available seat mile, excluding fuel, for the first quarter of 2015 to increase by 1.5% to 4.5% from the same prior year period.

Operating Revenue
Our revenue is derived primarily from transporting passengers on our aircraft. Revenue is recognized when either the transportation is provided or when the related ticket expires unused. We measure capacity in terms of available seat miles, which represent the number of seats available for passengers multiplied by the number of miles the seats are flown. Yield, or the average amount one passenger pays to fly one mile, is calculated by dividing passenger revenue by RPMs. We strive to increase passenger revenue primarily by increasing our yield per flight or by filling a higher proportion of available seats, which produces higher operating revenue per available seat mile. Other revenue primarily consists of baggage fees, cargo revenue, ticket change and cancellation fees, incidental services revenue, sale of frequent flyer miles, inflight revenue, contract services and charter services revenue.
Operating revenue was $2.31 billion, $2.16 billion and $1.96 billion for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, driven primarily by an increase in passenger revenue.
25
Passenger Revenue
Passenger revenue was $2.05 billion, $1.94 billion and $1.77 billion for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Details of these changes are described in the table below:

North America
North America revenue increased by $111.4 million in 2014, as compared to 2013, due to an increase in the number of revenue passengers flown and the yield generated on these routes. The increase in the number of revenue passengers was driven by an increase in capacity provided by the addition of new Airbus A330-200 aircraft delivered during the year, the initiation of new routes from Honolulu to Oakland, California (January 2014) and from Maui to Los Angeles (May 2014) and San Francisco, California (November 2014), the reintroduction of the Honolulu to San Jose, California service (May 2014), and the introduction of our summer service from both Lihu'e, Kaua'i and Kona, Hawai'i Island to Oakland and Los Angeles, California.
North America revenue increased by $81.7 million in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to an increase in the number of revenue passengers flown and the yield generated on these routes. The increase in the number of revenue passengers was driven by an increase in capacity provided by the addition of new Airbus A330-200 aircraft delivered during the year, and the effects of full-year results from routes initiated in 2012.
Neighbor Island
Neighbor Island revenue increased by $35.7 million in 2014, as compared to 2013, due to our turboprop operations which launched in March 2014, the impact of improved traffic mix, and a slight increase in average fares.
Neighbor Island revenue increased by $33.6 million, in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to schedule adjustments and changes in pricing and revenue management practices, which allowed us to improve our yield and load factors on these routes.
International
International revenue decreased by $44.8 million in 2014, as compared to 2013, due to a decrease in our international capacity which was a result of changes to our network during the year. These changes consisted of the suspension of our routes from Honolulu to Manila, Philippines (August 2013) and from Honolulu to Fukuoka, Japan (June 2014). Also, the continued strengthening of the U.S. Dollar resulted in decreased average fares from 2013.
International revenue increased by $60.5 million in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to an increase in the number of revenue passengers flown and offset by decreased yield. The increase in the number of revenue passengers was driven by an increase in capacity provided by the addition of new Airbus A330-200 aircraft delivered during the year and the initiation of routes from Honolulu to Auckland, New Zealand (March 2013), Sendai, Japan (June 2013) and Taipei, Taiwan (July 2013) and the effects of the full year results from routes initiated in 2012. We experienced a decrease in yield as a result of increased competition on our Japanese, Australia and New Zealand routes, and the continued strengthening of the U.S. Dollar in most currencies, primarily the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar, which resulted in decreased average fares from the prior-year period.
Other Operating Revenue
Other operating revenue increased by $56.8 million, or 26.7%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, due to $29.1 million of ancillary revenue generated by increased sales of frequent flyer miles under our new co-branded credit card agreement and $13.1 million of cargo revenue driven by an increase in the volume of cargo transported, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in volume was the result of additional cargo capacity and improved revenue generation on our existing routes.
26
Other operating revenue increased by $17.7 million, or 9.1%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, due primarily to a $16.2 million increase in cargo revenue, which was due to the additional cargo capacity provided by the Airbus A330-200 aircraft, the expansion of our network, and improved revenue generation on our existing routes.
Operating Expenses
The largest components of our operating expenses are aircraft fuel (including taxes and delivery), wages and benefits provided to our employees and aircraft maintenance materials and repairs. The price and availability of aircraft fuel is extremely volatile due to global economic and geopolitical factors that we can neither control nor accurately predict. Maintenance and repair costs are expensed when incurred unless covered by third-party power-by-the-hour services contracts, which are expensed as flight hours are incurred. Increases (decreases) in operating expenses are detailed below.

The decrease in fuel expense from 2013 to 2014 is primarily due to a decrease in the average fuel price per gallon, partially offset by increased fuel consumption due to the additional aircraft in the fleet (five additional A330-200 offset by the retirement of two B767-300 aircraft).
The increase in fuel expense from 2012 to 2013 is primarily due to an increase in fuel consumption due to the additional aircraft in the fleet (five additional A330-200 offset by the return/retirement of three B767-300 aircraft), but was partially offset by a decrease in the average fuel price per gallon.
We believe economic fuel expense is the best measure of the effect of fuel prices on our business as it most closely approximates the net cash outflow associated with the purchase of fuel for our operations in a period and is consistent with how management manages our business and assesses our operating performance. We define economic fuel expense as raw fuel expense plus (gains)/losses realized through actual cash payments to/(receipts from) hedge counterparties for fuel derivatives settled in the period inclusive of costs related to hedging premiums. Economic fuel expense is calculated as follows:

Wages and Benefits
Wages and benefits expense increased by $20.0 million, or 4.7%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, due to a 2.5% increase in the number of employees as we continue to expand our operations with additional aircraft. Our profit-sharing expense also increased in 2014, which was driven by our improved financial performance in the current period.
Wages and benefits expense increased by $50.9 million, or 13.5%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to a 7.0% increase in the number of employees as we continue to expand our operations with additional aircraft and new routes, which also resulted in an $8.4 million increase in health and fringe benefits provided to our employees.
Aircraft Rent
Aircraft rent expense decreased by $2.1 million, or 1.9%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to the full year effect of three Boeing 767-300 aircraft leases that ended in 2013, partially offset by full year effect of the addition of two Airbus A330-200 aircraft under operating leases.
Aircraft rent expense increased by $9.7 million, or 9.9%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to the addition of two Airbus A330-200 aircraft under operating leases (one in February 2013 and one in April 2013), partially offset by the return of three Boeing 767-300 aircraft at the end of their lease terms in April, August, and October 2013.
Maintenance Materials and Repairs
Maintenance materials and repairs expense increased by $22.2 million, or 10.9%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to the increase in the number and utilization of Airbus A330-200 aircraft in our fleet, partially offset by a decrease in the number and utilization of Boeing 767-300 aircraft in our fleet.
Maintenance materials and repairs expense increased by $19.8 million, or 10.8%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to the increase in the number and utilization of Airbus A330-200 aircraft in our fleet.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $13.3 million, or 16.0%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to the increase in the number of owned aircraft (five A330-200 aircraft offset by the retirement of two B767-300 aircraft).
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $2.5 million, or 3.0%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to our frequent flyer marketing relationship intangible asset which was fully amortized as of December 31, 2012. This decrease was partially offset by the increase in the number of owned aircraft (three A330-200 aircraft).
Other Rentals and Landing Fees
Other rentals and landing fees expense increased by $6.6 million, or 8.1%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to increased rates and landing frequencies. Other rentals and landing fees expense decreased by $4.3 million, or 5.0%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to decreased rental and landing fee rates at our Honolulu operational facility.
Other Expense
Other expense increased by $9.4 million, or 5.4%, in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to costs incurred in connection with our turboprop operations that began in March 2014.
28
Other expense increased by $20.1 million, or 13.2%, in 2013, as compared to 2012, due to increased travel related expenses and increased expenses incurred on services outsourced to third-party vendors. Both increases were primarily the result of our continued expansion.
Nonoperating Expense
Net nonoperating expense increased by $84.3 million in 2014, as compared to 2013, primarily due to our fuel hedge portfolio generating losses of $63.5 million in the current period compared to losses of $5.3 million in the prior year period. The strengthening of the US dollar resulted in foreign exchange loss of $8.7 million in the current period compared to a loss of $4.4 million in the prior period. The interest expense incurred in connection with the equipment notes under the EETC financing also contributed to the increase in nonoperating expense for the period.
Net nonoperating expense increased by $3.7 million in 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily due to increased interest and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs of $6.9 million and $19.0 million, respectively, due to the additional financings we entered into subsequent to December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Income Tax Expense
We recorded income tax expense of $44.5 million, $34.6 million and $32.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively. In 2014, 2013 and 2012, we had an effective tax rate of 39.2%, 40.0% and 37.9%, respectively.
See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is dependent on the cash we generate from operating activities and our debt financing arrangements. As of December 31, 2014, we had $264.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $260.1 million in short-term investments, representing an increase of $100.8 million from December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, our restricted cash balance of $6.6 million and $21.0 million, respectively, consisted of cash held as collateral by entities that process our credit card transactions for advanced ticket sales and cash held as collateral for future interest payments owed in connection with the EETC financing which closed in May 2013.
We have been able to generate sufficient funds from our operations to meet our working capital requirements and typically finance our aircraft through secured debt and lease financings. At December 31, 2014, Hawaiian had $1,049.6 million of debt and capital lease obligations, including $156.3 million classified as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the quarter ended December 31, 2014 a condition for conversion of the convertible notes was satisfied, which permits holders of the convertible notes to surrender their notes for conversion during the quarter ending March 31, 2015. As a result, the carrying value of $66.5 million is reflected as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In September 2014, we terminated our secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance LLC, which provided for a secured revolving credit facility of $75 million. In November 2014, the Company entered into a credit agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. providing for a secured revolving credit and letter of credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") in an amount of up to $175 million. As of December 31, 2014 we had no outstanding borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $300.4 million, $243.3 million and $311.0 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in 2014 was primarily due to increased net income before the expense associated with unrealized loss positions on our fuel derivative contracts, which do not immediately impact our cash flows from operating activities because the losses were unrealized as of December 31, 2014. The decrease in 2013 was primarily due to a smaller increase in our air traffic liability as of December 31, 2013 compared to December 31, 2012, primarily because we introduced fewer new routes in 2013 compared to 2012.
Net cash used in investing activities was $686.8 million, $327.8 million and $290.7 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in 2014 was due to the $261.5 million in net purchases of investments, and the acquisition of five Airbus A330-200 aircraft during the year. The increase in 2013 was primarily due to increases in purchases of property and equipment of $79.5 million, offset by decreases in pre-delivery deposits for upcoming aircraft and engine deliveries of $28.0 million, and the proceeds received from the disposition of equipment of $14.4 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $227.1 million, $102.0 million and $81.4 million for 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The increase in 2014 was due to the receipt of $368.4 million in proceeds from the EETC financing, partially offset by the $54.2 debt extinguishment in October 2014 and the $15.1 convertible note repurchase. The increase in the net
29
cash provided by financing activities in 2013 is primarily due to increases in long-term borrowings of $110.1 million, offset by increases in cash repayments for debt and capital lease obligations of $64.5 million and the collateral payment that was made in connection with the issuance of the EETCs of $16.0 million.
Capital Commitments
In December 2014, we entered into a Purchase Agreement Amendment to convert our order for six firm A350XWB-800 aircraft with an additional six purchase rights into an order for six firm A330-800neo aircraft with an additional six purchase rights. The Purchase Agreement Amendment provides for delivery, subject to certain flexibility rights, of six A330-800neo aircraft starting in 2019. These fuel efficient, long-range aircraft will complement our existing fleet of wide-body, twin aisle aircraft used for long-haul flying on our North America and International routes. In December 2014, we entered into a General Terms Agreement with Rolls-Royce for the supply of products and services in support of the Trent 7000 engines to be installed on the Airbus A330-800neo aircraft. The General Terms Agreement includes the terms for the supply of spare engines, product warranties and performance guarantees.
As of December 31, 2014, we had the following capital commitments consisting of firm aircraft and engine orders and purchase rights:
Aircraft Type | Firm Orders | Purchase Rights | Expected Delivery Dates | ||||
A330-200 aircraft | 3 | 3 | In 2015 | ||||
A330-800neo aircraft | 6 | 6 | Between 2019 and 2021 | ||||
A321neo aircraft | 16 | 9 | Between 2017 and 2020 | ||||
Rolls-Royce spare engines: | |||||||
A330-800neo spare engines | 2 | — | Between 2019 and 2020 | ||||
Pratt & Whitney spare engines: | |||||||
A321neo spare engines | 2 | — | Between 2017 and 2018 | ||||
Committed expenditures for these aircraft, engines and related flight equipment approximates $203 million in 2015, $67 million in 2016, $234 million in 2017, $411 million in 2018, $497 million in 2019 and $435 million thereafter.
For 2015, we expect our other non-aircraft related capital expenditures, which include software, improvements, ramp and maintenance equipment to total approximately $45 million to $55 million.
In order to complete the purchase of these aircraft and fund related costs, we must secure acceptable financing. We have backstop financing available from aircraft and engine manufacturers, subject to certain customary conditions. Financing will be necessary to satisfy the Company’s capital commitments for its firm order aircraft and other related capital expenditures. The Company can provide no assurance that any financing not already in place for aircraft and spare engine deliveries will be available to the Company on acceptable terms when necessary or at all.
See Note 13 for further discussion of the purchase assignment and leaseback transactions for our remaining three A330-200 aircraft deliveries in 2015.
Covenants under our Financing Arrangements
The terms of certain of our financing agreements restrict our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, issue preferred stock or pay dividends. These agreements also require us to meet certain financial covenants. These financial tests include maintaining a minimum amount of unrestricted cash and achieving certain levels of fixed charge coverage. As of December 31, 2014 we were in compliance with these covenants.
Under our bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $5.0 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Plan Funding
As of December 31, 2014, the excess of the projected benefit obligations over the fair value of plan assets was approximately $410.7 million. We contributed $8.9 million, $18.7 million and $19.4 million, to our defined benefit pension plans and disability plan during 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Future funding requirements for our defined benefit and other postretirement plans are dependent upon many factors such as interest rates, funded status, applicable regulatory requirements
30
and the level and timing of asset returns. In 2015, our minimum required contribution to our defined benefit pension plans and disability plan is $5.1 million.
Income Tax Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
We have net operating loss (NOLs) carryforwards for federal and state income tax purposes of $365.8 million as of December 31, 2014. The tax benefit of the NOLs carryforwards as of December 31, 2014 is $122.1 million, substantially all of which will not begin to expire until 2031. Although we expect to generate taxable income in future years, we cannot be assured our NOLs will be sufficient to offset our tax liability. We believe we will have sufficient working capital to pay income taxes as they become due.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
An off-balance sheet arrangement is any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement involving an unconsolidated entity under which a company has (i) made guarantees, (ii) retained a contingent interest in transferred assets, (iii) an obligation under derivative instruments classified as equity or (iv) any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to the company, or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development arrangements with the company. We have no arrangements of the types described in the first three categories that we believe may have a current or future material effect on our financial condition, liquidity or results of operations. We do have obligations arising out of variable interests in unconsolidated entities related to certain aircraft leases. To the extent our leases and related guarantees are with a separate legal entity other than a governmental entity, we are not the primary beneficiary because the lease terms are consistent with market terms at the inception of the lease, and the lease does not include a residual value guarantee, fixed price purchase option or similar feature.
Contractual Obligations
Our estimated contractual obligations as of December 31, 2014 are summarized in the following table:

(1) | Amounts represent contractual amounts due, including interest. Interest on variable-rate debt was estimated using rates in effect as of December 31, 2014. Amount reflects capital lease obligations for one Airbus A330-200 aircraft, two Boeing 717 aircraft and one A330 flight simulator. |
(2) | During the quarter ended December 31, 2014 a condition for conversion of the Convertible Note was satisfied, which permits holders of the Convertible Notes to surrender their notes for conversion in the first quarter of 2015. Therefore, the principal balance is classified accordingly in the above table. However, the 5% interest-only, semiannual payments are excluded from the table. |
(3) | Amounts reflect leases for six Airbus A330-200 aircraft, six Boeing 767 aircraft, one Boeing 717 aircraft and aircraft-related equipment as of December 31, 2014. |

(5) | Amounts include commitments for services provided by third-parties for aircraft maintenance for our Airbus fleet, accounting, IT and reservations. Total contractual obligations do not include long-term contracts where the commitment is variable in nature (with no minimum guarantee), such as aircraft maintenance deposits due under operating leases and fees due under certain other agreements such as aircraft maintenance power-by-the-hour, computer reservation systems and credit card processing agreements, or when the agreements contain short-term cancellation provisions. |
31
(6) | Amounts include our estimated contributions to our pension plans (based on actuarially determined estimates) and our pilots' disability plan. Amounts are subject to change based on numerous factors, including interest rate levels, the amount and timing of asset returns and the impact of future legislation. We are currently unable to estimate the projected contributions beyond 2017. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe the disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures is useful information to readers of our financial statements because:
• | We believe it is the basis by which we are evaluated by industry analysts and investors; |
• | These measures are often used in management and board of directors decision making analysis; |
• | It improves a reader's ability to compare our results to those of other airlines; and |
• | It is consistent with how we present information in our quarterly earnings press releases. |
Adjusted net income reflecting economic fuel expense and excluding loss on extinguishment of debt
See table below for reconciliation between GAAP consolidated net income to adjusted consolidated net income, including per share amounts (in thousands unless otherwise indicated). The adjustments are described below:
• | Unrealized (gains) losses on fuel derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period. As the cost and availability of fuel is volatile, excluding the impact of fuel derivative adjustments allow investors to better analyze our operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below. |
• | Loss on extinguishment of debt, net of tax, is excluded to allow investors to better analyze our core operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below. |

Operating Costs per Available Seat Mile (CASM)
We have listed separately in the table below our fuel costs per ASM and our non-GAAP unit costs, excluding fuel.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements.
Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those accounting policies and accounting estimates that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties, and that potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions.
Frequent Flyer Accounting
HawaiianMiles, Hawaiian's frequent flyer travel award program, provides a variety of awards to program members based on accumulated mileage. We utilize the incremental cost method of accounting for free travel awards earned in connection with the purchase of passenger tickets. This method utilizes a number of estimates including the incremental cost per mile and breakage. We record a liability for the estimated incremental cost of providing travel awards that are expected to be redeemed on Hawaiian or the contractual rate of expected redemption on other airlines. We estimate the incremental cost of travel awards based on periodic studies of actual costs and apply these cost estimates to all issued miles, less an appropriate breakage factor for estimated miles that will not be redeemed. Incremental costs include the cost of fuel, meals and beverages, insurance and certain other passenger traffic-related costs, but does not include any costs for aircraft ownership and maintenance. The breakage factor is estimated based on an analysis of historical expirations.
We also sell mileage credits to companies participating in our frequent flyer program. These sales are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements, with one element representing the transportation that will ultimately be provided when the mileage credits are redeemed and the other elements consisting of marketing related activities that we conduct with the participating company.
In 2013, Hawaiian entered into a co-branded credit card agreement, which provides for the sale of frequent flyer miles to Barclays Bank Delaware (Barclays) which began in 2014. The agreement is a new multiple element arrangement subject to Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASU 2009-13), which is effective for new and materially modified revenue arrangements entered into by the Company after January 1, 2011. ASU 2009-13 requires the allocation of the overall consideration received to each deliverable using the estimated selling price. The objective of using estimated selling price based methodology is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis.
The following four deliverables or elements were identified in the agreement: (i) travel miles; (ii) use of the Hawaiian brand and access to member lists; (iii) advertising elements; and (iv) other airline benefits including checked baggage services and travel discounts. The Company determined the relative fair value of each element by estimating the selling prices of the deliverables by considering discounted cash flows using multiple inputs and assumptions, including: (1) the expected number of miles to be awarded and redeemed; (2) the estimated weighted average equivalent ticket value, adjusted by a fulfillment discount; (3) the estimated total annual cardholder spend; (4) an estimated royalty rate for the Hawaiian portfolio; and (5) the expected use of each of the airline benefits. The overall consideration received is allocated to the deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The transportation element is deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over the period when the transportation is expected to be provided (24 months). The other elements will generally be recognized as other revenue when earned.
In the previous co-branded credit card agreement, the estimated fair value of the transportation element was deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over the period the transportation was expected to be provided. Amounts received in excess of the transportation’s estimated fair value were recognized immediately as other revenue.
Under the programs of certain participating companies, credits are accumulated in accounts maintained by the participating company, then transferred into a member's HawaiianMiles account for immediate redemption of free travel awards. For those transactions, revenue is recognized over the period during which the mileage is projected to be used for travel (five months).
On an annual basis, we review the deferral period and deferral rate for mileage credits sold to participating companies (except for miles sold under our co-branded credit card agreement), as well as the breakage rate assumption for free travel awards earned in connection with the purchase of passenger tickets. The cost components of the incremental cost assumption are reviewed on a quarterly basis.

Pension and Other Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
The calculation of pension and other postretirement and postemployment benefit expenses and its corresponding liabilities require the use of significant assumptions, including the assumed discount rate, the expected long-term rate of return on plan assets, expected mortality rates of the plan participants, and the expected health care cost trend rate. Changes in these assumptions will impact the expense and liability amounts, and future actual experience may differ from these assumptions. The significant assumptions as of December 31, 2014 are as follows:
Pension: | ||||
Discount rate to determine projected benefit obligation | 4.19 | % | ||
Expected return on plan assets | 6.92 | % | + | |
Postretirement: | ||||
Discount rate to determine projected benefit obligation | 4.30 | % | ||
Expected return on plan assets | N/A | |||
Expected health care cost trend rate: | ||||
Initial | 7.50 | % | ||
Ultimate | 4.75 | % | ||
Years to reach ultimate trend rate | 4 | |||
Disability: | ||||
Discount rate to determine projected benefit obligation | 4.16 | % | ||
Expected return on plan assets | 5.92 | % | + | |
N/A Not Applicable
+ | Expected return on plan assets used to determine the net periodic benefit expense for 2015 is 6.89% for the pension plans and 5.40% for the disability plan. |
The expected long-term rate of return assumption is developed by evaluating input from the trustee managing the plans' assets, including the trustee's review of asset class return expectations by several consultants and economists, as well as long-term inflation assumptions. Our expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on a target allocation of assets, which is based on our goal of earning the highest rate of return while maintaining risk at acceptable levels. The plan strives to sufficiently diversify assets so that adverse or unexpected results from one security class will not have an unduly detrimental impact on the entire portfolio. We believe that our long-term asset allocation on average will approximate the targeted allocation. We periodically review our actual asset allocation and rebalance the pension plan's investments to our targeted allocation when considered appropriate. Pension expense increases as the expected rate of return on plan assets decreases. Lowering the expected long-term rate of return will have the following effects on our estimated 2015 pension and disability benefit expense:

We determine the appropriate discount rate for each of our plans based on current rates on high quality corporate bonds that would generate the cash flow necessary to pay plan benefits when due. The pension and other postretirement benefit liabilities and future expense both increase as the discount rate is reduced. Lowering the discount rate would have the following effects:
100 Basis Point Decrease | |||
(in millions) | |||
Increase in pension obligation as of December 31, 2014 | $ | 66.7 | |
Increase in other postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2014 | 46.1 | ||

In 2014, the Society of Actuaries released reports that included both new mortality tables and an updated mortality improvement scale - the RP-2014 mortality table and MP-2014 improvement scale. The updated mortality tables and improvement scale provide more current data about mortality rates of private pension plan participants. We adopted the RP-2014 mortality table and the MP-2014 mortality improvement scale to calculate our pension and other postretirement benefit obligations as of December 31, 2014. This mortality information reflects longer life expectancies and anticipated rates of improvement in life expectancy compared to previous mortality assumptions, which had the following effects:
(in millions) | |||
Increase in pension obligation as of December 31, 2014 | $ | 29.8 | |
Increase in other postretirement benefit obligation as of December 31, 2014 | 20.8 | ||
Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Costs
On a quarterly basis we complete a forecast of maintenance costs for the next scheduled event on applicable leased aircraft and compare these estimates to our forecasted nonrefundable deposits to identify costs not expected to be recoverable. Any costs not expected to be recoverable are considered to be not substantially and contractually related to maintenance of the leased asset. Therefore, we bifurcate and expense the proportionate share that is estimated to not be recoverable from existing and future nonrefundable deposits. In determining whether it is probable that maintenance deposits will be used to fund the cost of the maintenance events, we conduct the following analysis:
• | We evaluate the aircraft's condition, including the airframe, the engines, the auxiliary power unit and the landing gear. |
• | We then project future usage of the aircraft during the term of the lease based on our business and fleet plan. |
• | We estimate the cost of performing the next scheduled maintenance event. These estimates are based on the experience of our maintenance personnel and available industry data, including historical fleet operating statistic reports published by the aircraft and engine manufacturers. |
• | We compare the forecasted maintenance deposits to be paid at the time of the next scheduled maintenance event to the estimated cost of the next scheduled maintenance event. Those costs not expected to be recoverable are considered to be not substantially and contractually related to maintenance of the leased asset. |
• | We prospectively account for any changes in estimates. |
Our assessment of the recoverability of our maintenance deposits is subject to change in the event that key estimates and assumptions change over time. Those key estimates and assumptions include our fleet plan and the projected total cost and, to a lesser extent, anticipated timing of the major maintenance activities covered by the maintenance reserves.
Based on current market conditions, we believe that further significant changes in our fleet plan are unlikely. Furthermore, based on historical trends and future projections, including those published by the manufacturers of our aircraft and engines, we believe it is unlikely that future maintenance costs for our aircraft will decline to such an extent that the maintenance deposits currently recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheets would not be used to fund the cost of future maintenance events and, therefore, not be recoverable.
ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to certain market risks, including commodity price risk (i.e. jet fuel prices), interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. We have market-sensitive instruments in the form of variable-rate debt and financial derivatives used to offset
35
Hawaiian's exposure to jet fuel price increases, and financial hedge instruments used to hedge Hawaiian's exposure to variable interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. The adverse effects of potential changes in these market risks are discussed below.
The sensitivity analyses presented do not consider the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity nor do they consider additional actions we might undertake to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results may differ.
Aircraft Fuel Costs
Aircraft fuel costs constitute a significant portion of our operating expense. Fuel costs represented 33% of our operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014. Approximately 69% of our fuel is based on Singapore jet fuel prices, 30% is based on U.S. West Coast jet fuel prices and 1% on other jet fuel prices. Based on gallons expected to be consumed in 2015, for every one cent increase in the cost of a gallon of jet fuel, our fuel expense would increase by approximately $2.4 million, excluding the results of our fuel hedge program.
We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in the price of jet fuel. During 2014, our fuel hedge program primarily consisted of heating oil puts and swaps, and Brent crude oil call options and collars (combinations of purchased call options and sold put options of crude oil). Call option contracts provide for a settlement in favor of the holder in the event the prices exceed a predetermined contractual level during a particular time period. Collars provide for a settlement in our favor in the event prices for the underlying commodity exceed a predetermined contractual level (the call option strike price) during a particular time period. Put option contracts provide for a settlement in favor of the holder in the event the prices fall below a predetermined contractual level during a particular time period. Swaps provide for a settlement in our favor in the event the prices exceed a predetermined contractual level and are unfavorable in the event prices fall below a predetermined contractual level.
As of December 31, 2014, we hedged approximately 39% of our projected fuel requirements for 2015 with heating oil puts and swaps. As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of these fuel derivative agreements reflected a net liability of $38.8 million that is recorded in other accrued liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We expect to continue our program of offsetting some of our exposure to future changes in the price of jet fuel with a combination of fixed forward pricing contracts, swaps, calls, collars and other option-based structures.
We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rates
Our results of operations are affected by fluctuations in interest rates due to our variable-rate debt and interest income earned on our cash deposits. Our variable-rate debt agreements include the Revolving Credit Facility and secured loan agreements, the terms of which are discussed in Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements.
At December 31, 2014, we had $87.3 million of variable-rate debt indexed to the following interest rate:
Index | Rate | |
One-month LIBOR | 0.1635 | % |
Changes in market interest rates have a direct and corresponding effect on our pre-tax earnings and cash flows associated with our variable-rate debt and interest-bearing cash accounts. Based on the balances of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, short-term investments, and variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2014, a change in interest rates is unlikely to have a material impact on our results of operations.
At December 31, 2014, we had $962.4 million of fixed-rate debt including aircraft capital lease obligations, a convertible note, facility agreements for aircraft purchases, and the outstanding equipment notes related to the EETC financing. Market risk for fixed-rate long-term debt is estimated as the potential increase in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, and amounted to approximately $19.5 million as of December 31, 2014.
In April 2013, we issued variable-rate debt to finance a portion of the purchase price of another Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The interest rate associated with this debt is based on a market index rate that resets every three months. To limit our exposure to significant increases in the applicable market index rates for this debt, we entered into a forward starting interest swap agreement, which had an immaterial impact on our financial statements.
Foreign Currency
We generate revenues and incur expenses in foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations through changes in the dollar value of foreign currency-denominated operating revenues and expenses. Our most
36
significant foreign currency exposures are the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. Based on expected 2015 revenues and expenses denominated in Japanese Yen and Australian Dollars, a 10% strengthening in value of the U.S. dollar, relative to the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar, would result in a decrease in operating income of approximately $12.6 million and $9.8 million, respectively, which excludes the offset of the hedges discussed below. This potential impact to the results of our operation is driven by the inherent nature of our international operations, which requires us to accept a large volume of sales transactions denominated in foreign currencies while few expense transactions are settled in foreign currencies. This disparity is the primary factor in our exposure to foreign currency exchange rates.
As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of our foreign currency forwards reflected a net asset of $15.1 million that is recorded in prepaid expenses and other, and $4.6 million recorded in long-term prepayments and other reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the "Company," "Holdings," "we," "us" and "our") and its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian), are incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company's primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including its principal subsidiary, Hawaiian, through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents consist of short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash held as collateral for future interest payments owed in connection with the Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates (EETC) financing which closed in May 2013 and cash held as collateral by institutions that process our credit card transactions for advanced ticket sales.
Spare Parts and Supplies
Spare parts and supplies are valued at average cost, and primarily consist of expendable parts for flight equipment and other supplies. An allowance for obsolescence of expendable parts is provided over the estimated useful lives of the related aircraft and engines for spare parts expected to be on hand at the date the aircraft are retired from service. These allowances are based on management's estimates and are subject to change.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Property and equipment are stated at cost and depreciated on a straight-line basis to their estimated residual values over the asset's estimated useful life. Depreciation begins when the asset is placed into service. Aircraft and related parts begin depreciating on the aircraft's first revenue flight.
Estimated useful lives and residual values of property and equipment are as follows:
Boeing 717-200 aircraft and engines | 7 - 11 years, 7 - 34% residual value |
Boeing 767-300 aircraft and engines | 7 - 20 years, 0 - 10% residual value |
Airbus A330-200 aircraft and engines | 25 years, 10% residual value |
ATR42 Turboprop aircraft and engines | 10 years, 15% residual value |
Aircraft under capital leases | 8 - 12 years, no residual value |
Flight simulator under capital lease | 25 years, 10% residual value |
Major rotable parts | Average lease term or useful life for related aircraft, 10% - 15% residual value |
Improvements to leased flight equipment | Shorter of lease term or useful life |
Facility leasehold improvements | Shorter of lease term, including assumed lease renewals when renewal is economically compelled at key airports, or useful life |
Furniture, fixtures and other equipment | 3 - 7 years, no residual value |
Capitalized software | 3 - 7 years, no residual value |
Additions and modifications that significantly enhance the operating performance and/or extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized and depreciated over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the asset or the remaining lease term, as applicable. Expenditures that do not improve or extend asset lives are charged to expense as incurred. Pre-delivery deposits are capitalized when paid.
45
Aircraft under capital leases are recorded at an amount equal to the present value of minimum lease payments utilizing the Company's incremental borrowing rate at lease inception and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the remaining useful life of the aircraft or the lease term. The amortization is recorded in depreciation and amortization expense on the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Accumulated amortization of aircraft and other capital leases was $31.2 million and $19.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
The Company capitalizes certain costs related to the acquisition and development of computer software and amortizes these costs using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the software. The net book value of computer software, which is included in Other property and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets, was $15.6 million and $10.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Amortization expense related to computer software was $5.5 million, and $7.0 million, $7.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Aircraft Maintenance and Repair Costs
Maintenance and repair costs for owned and leased flight equipment, including the overhaul of aircraft components, are charged to operating expenses as incurred. Engine overhaul costs covered by power-by-the-hour arrangements are paid and expensed as incurred and are based on the amount of hours flown per contract. Under the terms of these power-by-the-hour agreements, the Company pays a set dollar amount per engine hour flown on a monthly basis and the third-party vendor assumes the obligation to repair the engines at no additional cost, subject to certain specified exclusions.
Additionally, although the Company's aircraft lease agreements specifically provide that it is responsible for maintenance of the leased aircraft, the Company pays maintenance reserves to the aircraft lessors that are applied towards the cost of future maintenance events. These reserves are calculated based on a performance measure, such as flight hours, and are available for reimbursement to the Company upon the completion of the maintenance of the leased aircraft. However, reimbursements are limited to the available reserves associated with the specific maintenance activity for which the Company requests reimbursement.
Under certain aircraft lease agreements, if there are excess amounts on deposit at the expiration of the lease, the lessor is entitled to retain any excess amounts; whereas at the expiration of certain other existing aircraft lease agreements any such excess amounts are returned to the Company, provided that it has fulfilled all of its obligations under the lease agreements. The maintenance reserves paid under the lease agreements do not transfer either the obligation to maintain the aircraft or the cost risk associated with the maintenance activities to the aircraft lessor. In addition, the Company maintains the right to select any third-party maintenance provider.
Maintenance reserve payments that are expected to be recovered from lessors are recorded as deposits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as an asset until it is less than probable that any portion of the deposit is recoverable. In addition, payments of maintenance reserves that are not substantially and contractually related to the maintenance of the leased assets are expensed as incurred. Any costs that are substantially and contractually unrelated to the maintenance of the leased asset are considered to be unrecoverable. In order to properly account for the costs that are related to the maintenance of the leased asset, the Company bifurcates its maintenance reserves into two groups and expenses the proportionate share that is expected to be unrecoverable.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment at least annually using a three-step process in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification (ASC) Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (ASC 350).
In the event that the Company determines that the values of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets have become impaired, the Company will incur an accounting charge during the period in which such determination is made. No impairments were recorded in 2014.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Finite-lived Intangible Assets
Long-lived assets used in operations, consisting principally of property and equipment and finite-lived intangible assets, are tested for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate, in management's judgment, that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than its carrying amount. When testing for impairment, management considers market trends, the expected useful lives of the assets, changes in economic conditions, recent transactions involving sales of similar assets and, if necessary, estimates of future discounted cash flows. If, at any time, management determines the net carrying value of an asset is not recoverable, the amount is reduced to its fair value
46
during the period in which such determination is made. Any changes in the estimated useful lives of these assets will be accounted for prospectively.
Operating Leases
The Company leases aircraft, engines, airport and terminal facilities, office space, and other equipment under operating leases. Some of these lease agreements include escalation clauses and renewal options. For scheduled rent escalation clauses during the lease terms or for rental payments commencing at a date other than the date of initial occupancy, the Company records minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. When lease renewals are considered to be reasonably assured, the rental payments that will be due during the renewal periods are included in the determination of rent expense over the life of the lease. Rental expense for operating leases totaled $160.7 million, $158.6 million, and $151.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Leased Aircraft Return Costs
Costs associated with the return of leased aircraft are accrued when it is probable that a payment will be made and that amount is reasonably estimable. Any accrual is based on the time remaining on the lease, planned aircraft usage and the provisions included in the lease agreement, although the actual amount due to any lessor upon return will not be known with certainty until lease termination.
Revenue Recognition
Passenger revenue is recognized either when the transportation is provided or when tickets expire unused. The value of passenger tickets for future travel is included as air traffic liability.
Various taxes and fees assessed on the sale of tickets to end customers are collected by the Company as an agent and remitted to taxing authorities. These taxes and fees have been presented on a net basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded as a liability until remitted to the appropriate taxing authority.
Other operating revenue includes checked baggage revenue, cargo revenue, ticket change and cancellation fees, charter revenue, ground handling fees, commissions and fees earned under certain joint marketing agreements with other companies, inflight revenue and other incidental sales.
Baggage fees, cargo and charter revenue are recognized when the transportation is provided. Ticket change and cancellation fees are recognized at the time the fees are assessed. All other revenue is recognized as revenue when the related goods and services are provided.
Frequent Flyer Program
HawaiianMiles, Hawaiian's frequent flyer travel award program provides a variety of awards to program members based on accumulated mileage. The Company utilizes the incremental cost method of accounting for free travel awards issued from the HawaiianMiles program. The Company records a liability for the estimated incremental cost of providing travel awards that are expected to be redeemed on Hawaiian or the contractual rate of expected redemption on other airlines. The Company estimates the incremental cost of travel awards based on periodic studies of actual costs and applies these cost estimates to all issued miles, less an appropriate breakage factor for estimated miles that will not be redeemed. Incremental cost includes the costs of fuel, meals and beverages, insurance and certain other passenger traffic-related costs, but does not include any costs for aircraft ownership and maintenance. The breakage factor is estimated based on an analysis of historical expirations.
The Company also sells mileage credits to companies participating in our frequent flyer program. These sales are accounted for as multiple-element arrangements, with one element representing the travel that will ultimately be provided when the mileage credits are redeemed and the other consisting of marketing related activities that we conduct with the participating company.
In 2013, Hawaiian entered into a co-branded credit card agreement, which provides for the sale of frequent flyer miles to Barclays Bank Delaware (Barclays) which began in 2014. The agreement is a new multiple element arrangement subject to Accounting Standards Update 2009-13, Multiple Deliverable Revenue Arrangements — A consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (ASU 2009-13), which is effective for new and materially modified revenue arrangements entered into by the Company after January 1, 2011. ASU 2009-13 requires the allocation of the overall consideration received to each deliverable using the estimated selling price. The objective of using estimated selling price based methodology is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service were sold on a stand-alone basis.
47
The following four deliverables or elements were identified in the agreement: (i) travel miles; (ii) use of the Hawaiian brand and access to member lists; (iii) advertising elements; and (iv) other airline benefits including checked baggage services and travel discounts. The Company determined the relative fair value of each element by estimating the selling prices of the deliverables by considering discounted cash flows using multiple inputs and assumptions, including: (1) the expected number of miles to be awarded and redeemed; (2) the estimated weighted average equivalent ticket value, adjusted by a fulfillment discount; (3) the estimated total annual cardholder spend; (4) an estimated royalty rate for the Hawaiian portfolio; and (5) the expected use of each of the airline benefits. The overall consideration received is allocated to the deliverables based on their relative selling prices. The transportation element is deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over the period when the transportation is expected to be provided (24 months). The other elements will generally be recognized as other revenue when earned.
In the previous co-branded credit card agreement, the estimated fair value of the transportation element was deferred and recognized as passenger revenue over the period the transportation was expected to be provided. Amounts received in excess of the transportation’s estimated fair value were recognized immediately as other revenue.
The impact of applying the new accounting method for the year ended December 31, 2014 was immaterial to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
The Company's total frequent flyer liability for future award redemptions is reflected as components of Air traffic liability and Other liabilities and deferred credits within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows:
As of December 31, | |||||||
2014 | 2013 | ||||||
(in thousands) | |||||||
Air traffic liability | $ | 49,618 | $ | 51,264 | |||
Other liabilities and deferred credits | 15,830 | 10,633 | |||||
Total frequent flyer liability | $ | 65,448 | $ | 61,897 | |||
Under the programs of certain participating companies, credits are accumulated in accounts maintained by the participating company and then transferred into a member's HawaiianMiles account for immediate redemption of free travel awards. For those transactions, revenue is recognized over the period during which the mileage is projected to be used for travel (five months).
On an annual basis, the Company reviews the deferral period and deferral rate for mileage credits sold to participating companies, as well as the breakage rate assumption for free travel awards earned in connection with the purchase of passenger tickets. The Company's incremental cost assumption is reviewed on a quarterly basis.
Pension and Postretirement and Postemployment Benefits
The Company accounts for its defined benefit pension and other postretirement and postemployment plans in accordance with ASC 715, Compensation—Retirement Benefits (ASC 715), which requires companies to measure their plans' assets and obligations to determine the funded status at fiscal year-end, reflect the funded status in the statement of financial position as an asset or liability, and recognize changes in the funded status of the plans in comprehensive income during the year in which the changes occur. Pension and other postretirement and postemployment benefit expenses are recognized on an accrual basis over each employee's service periods. Pension expense is generally independent of funding decisions or requirements.
The Company uses the corridor approach in the valuation of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement and postemployment plans. The corridor approach defers all actuarial gains and losses resulting from variances between actual results and actuarial assumptions. These unrecognized actuarial gains and losses are amortized when the net gains and losses exceed 10% of the greater of the market-related value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation at the beginning of the year. The amount in excess of the corridor is amortized over the average remaining service period to retirement date of active plan participants.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expense was $15.6 million, $14.1 million and $11.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
48
Capitalized Interest
Interest is capitalized upon the payment of predelivery deposits for aircraft and engines, and is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the asset from service inception date.
Stock Compensation Plans
The Company has a stock compensation plan for it and its subsidiaries' officers, consultants and non-employee directors. The Company accounts for stock compensation awards under ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, which requires companies to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of such awards on the dates they are granted. The fair value of the awards are estimated using the following: (1) option-pricing models for grants of stock options, (2) Monte Carlo simulations for restricted stock units with a market condition, or (3) fair value at the measurement date (usually the grant date) for awards of stock subject to time and / or performance-based vesting. The resultant cost is recognized as compensation expense over the period of time during which an employee is required to provide services to the Company (the service period) in exchange for the award, the service period generally being the vesting period of the award.
Financial Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivatives to manage risks associated with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impact of fluctuations in global aircraft fuel prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.
The following table summarizes the accounting treatment of the Company's derivative contracts:
Classification of Unrealized Gains (Losses) | ||||||||
Derivative Type | Accounting Designation | Classification of Realized Gains and Losses | Effective Portion | Ineffective Portion | ||||
Interest rate contracts | Designated as cash flow hedges | Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs | AOCI | Nonoperating income (expense) | ||||
Foreign currency exchange contracts | Designated as cash flow hedges | Passenger revenue | AOCI | Nonoperating income (expense) | ||||
Fuel hedge contracts | Not designated as hedges | Gains (losses) on fuel derivatives | Change in fair value is recorded in nonoperating income (expense) | |||||
Negative interest arbitrage associated with EETCs | Not designated as hedges | Nonoperating income (expense), Other | Change in fair value is recorded in nonoperating income (expense) | |||||
Foreign currency exchange contracts | Not designated as hedges | Nonoperating income (expense), Other | Change in fair value is recorded in nonoperating income (expense) | |||||
If the Company terminates a derivative prior to its contractual settlement date, then the cumulative gain or loss recognized in AOCI at the termination date remains in AOCI until the forecasted transaction occurs. In a situation where it becomes probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, any gains and/or losses that have been recorded to AOCI would be required to be immediately reclassified into earnings. All cash flows associated with purchasing and settling derivatives are classified as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have determined that the new
49
standard once effective will preclude the Company from accounting for points earned under its customer loyalty program using the incremental cost method, and will require it to use a deferred revenue method. This change could have a significant impact on our financial statements.

3. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

In March 2011, the Company entered into a convertible note transaction which included the sale of convertible notes, purchase of call options and sale of warrants.
In 2014, the Company repurchased $15.1 million of the 5% Convertible Notes due in 2016 (the "Convertible Notes"). The remaining principal balance of $71.1 million as of December 31, 2014 can be redeemed with either cash or the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option. The 9.0 million shares into which the remaining principal
51
balance of the Convertible Notes could be converted will not impact the dilutive earnings per share calculation in the current and future periods under the if-converted method, as the Company has the intent and ability to redeem the principal amount of the Convertible Notes with cash. During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the average share price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the conversion price of $7.88 per share. Therefore, shares related to the conversion premium of the Convertible Notes (for which share settlement is assumed for EPS purposes) are included in the Company's computation of diluted earnings per share.
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate call option transactions and separate warrant transactions with certain financial investors to reduce the potential dilution of the Company’s common stock and to offset potential payments by the Company to holders of the Convertible Notes in excess of the principal of the Convertible Notes upon conversion.
The call options to repurchase the Company’s common stock will always be antidilutive and, therefore, will have no effect on diluted earnings per share and are excluded from the table above.
For the year ended December 31, 2014, the average share price of the Company's common stock exceeded the warrant strike price of $10.00 per share. Therefore, the assumed conversion of the warrants are included in the Company's computation of diluted earnings per share. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the weighted common stock equivalents for warrants were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because the warrant strike price exceeded the average share price of the Company's common stock.
See Note 8 for further information over the Convertible Note and repurchase transactions.
4. Short-Term Investments
Debt securities that are not classified as cash equivalents are classified as available-for-sale investments and are stated at fair value. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are reflected in nonoperating income (expense) in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The following is a summary of short-term investments held as of December 31, 2014:

5. Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 defines fair value as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1—Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
Level 2—Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities; and |
Level 3—Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The tables below present the Company's financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

6. Financial Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivatives to manage risks associated with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impact of fluctuations in global fuel prices, interest rates and foreign currencies.
In 2013, the Company recognized in its Consolidated Balance Sheets the financial effect of the net interest owed to the trusts that issued the Company's enhanced equipment trust certificates. The characteristics of the net interest obligation resulted in the obligation meeting the definition of a derivative instrument under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815).
Fuel Risk Management
The Company's operations are inherently dependent upon the price and availability of aircraft fuel. To manage economic risks associated with fluctuations in aircraft fuel prices, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments. The Company primarily used heating oil puts and swaps and Brent crude oil call options and collars to hedge its aircraft fuel expense. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had heating oil put and swap contracts, which were not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are adjusted through other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.
55
The following table reflects the amount of realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded as nonoperating income (expense) in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Losses on fuel derivatives recorded as Nonoperating income (expense) | $ | (63,471 | ) | $ | (5,334 | ) | $ | (11,330 | ) | ||
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Management
The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk due to revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, with the primary exposures being the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. To manage exchange rate risk, the Company executes its international revenue and expense transactions in the same foreign currency to the extent practicable. The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to further manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates. The effective portion of the gain or loss is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the related sales are recognized as passenger revenue. The effective portion of the foreign currency forward contracts represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in the fair value of the hedged item. To the extent the change in the fair value of the hedge does not perfectly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized as nonoperating income (expense).
The Company believes that its foreign currency forward contracts will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. The Company expects to reclassify a net gain of approximately $14.4 million into earnings over the next 12 months from AOCI based on the values at December 31, 2014.
Negative Arbitrage Derivative
In 2013, the Company created two pass-through trusts, which issued $444.5 million aggregate principal amount of EETCs. See Note 8 for further information related to the EETCs. In accordance with the related agreements, the Company is obligated to pay the interest that accrues on the proceeds and is also entitled to the benefits of the income generated from the same proceeds. The difference between the interest owed to the pass-through trusts and the interest generated from the proceeds introduces an element of variability that could cause the associated cash flows to fluctuate. This variability requires the Company's obligation to the trusts to be recognized as a derivative in the Company's consolidated financial statements. During the year ended December 31, 2014, approximately $12.4 million of the derivative was reduced in connection with the interest payments made to the trusts.
The following tables present the gross fair value of asset and liability derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 and derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, as well as the net derivative positions and location of the asset and liability balances within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Risk and Collateral
The financial derivative instruments expose the Company to possible credit loss in the event the counterparties to the agreements fail to meet their obligations. To manage such credit risks, the Company (1) selects its counterparties based on past experience and credit ratings, (2) limits its exposure to any single counterparty, and (3) periodically monitors the market position and credit rating of each counterparty. Credit risk is deemed to have a minimal impact on the fair value of the derivative instruments as cash collateral would be provided to or by the counterparties based on the current market exposure of the derivative.
The Company's agreements with its counterparties also requires the posting of cash collateral in the event the aggregate value of the Company's positions exceeds certain exposure thresholds that are based upon certain liquidity metrics of the Company. The aggregate fair value of the Company's derivative instruments that contain credit-risk related contingent features that are in a net liability position as of December 31, 2014 was $38.8 million.
ASC 815 requires a reporting entity to elect a policy of whether to offset rights to reclaim cash collateral or obligations to return cash collateral against derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, or present such amounts on a gross basis. The Company's accounting policy is to present its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis, including any collateral posted with the counterparty. The Company had $0.6 million in collateral posted with its counterparties as of December 31, 2014 and no collateral posted with its counterparties as of December 31, 2013.
The Company is also subject to market risk in the event these financial instruments become less valuable in the market. However, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments will generally offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, limiting the Company's overall exposure.

Therefore, the principal balance could be settled in as early as 2015 and is classified as a current liability in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. |
Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates (EETC)
In 2013, Hawaiian consummated an EETC financing, whereby it created two pass-through trusts, one of which issued $328.2 million aggregate principal amount of Class A pass-through certificates with a stated interest rate of 3.9% and the second of which issued $116.3 million aggregate principal amount of Class B pass-through certificates with a stated interest rate of 4.95%. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company received $368.4 million in proceeds from the issuance of the equipment notes, which it used to fund a portion of the purchase price of five Airbus aircraft. The equipment notes are secured by a lien on the aircraft, and the payment obligations of Hawaiian under the equipment notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Company issued the equipment notes to the trusts as aircraft were delivered to Hawaiian. Hawaiian recorded the debt obligation upon issuance of the equipment notes rather than upon the initial issuance of the pass-through certificates. In connection with the consummation of the EETC financing transaction, Hawaiian was required to deposit $16.0 million into a collateral account, of which $14.4 million was released during the year ended December 31, 2014. The funds held in this account are under the control of a third party. Accordingly, these funds are classified as restricted cash in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company evaluated whether the pass-through trusts formed are variable interest entities ("VIEs") required to be consolidated by the Company under applicable accounting guidance, and determined that the pass-through trusts are VIEs. The Company determined that it does not have a variable interest in the pass-through trusts. Neither the Company nor Hawaiian
61
invested in or obtained a financial interest in the pass-through trusts. Rather, Hawaiian has an obligation to make interest and principal payments on its equipment notes held by the pass-through trusts, which will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Neither the Company nor Hawaiian intends to have any voting or non-voting equity interest in the pass-through trusts or to absorb variability from the pass-through trusts. Based on this analysis, the Company determined that it is not required to consolidate the pass-through trusts.
Convertible Notes
On March 23, 2011, the Company issued $86.25 million principal amount of convertible notes (the Convertible Notes) due March 15, 2016. The Convertible Notes were issued at par and bear interest at a rate of 5.00% per annum. Interest is paid semiannually, in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 each year.
Each $1,000 of principal of the Convertible Notes is convertible under certain circumstances, at an initial conversion rate of 126.8730 shares of the Company's common stock (or a total of approximately 10.9 million shares), which is the equivalent of approximately $7.8819 per share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events as set forth in the indenture governing the terms of the Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, the Company will have the right, at the Company's election, to pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company's common stock or a combination thereof. As of December 31, 2014, the Company has the intent and ability to settle the principal balance of the Convertible Notes in cash. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to November 15, 2015, only if one of the following conditions has been met (a condition permitting conversion in the first quarter of 2015 was met as of December 31, 2014):
• | During any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2011, and only during such calendar quarter, if the closing price of the Company's common stock for at least 20 trading days in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price per share of common stock in effect on the last day of such preceding calendar quarter; |
• | During the five consecutive business days immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period in which the average trading price per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes during such period was less than 97% of the product of the closing sale price of the common stock and the conversion rate on such trading day; |
• | The Company makes specified distributions to holders of the Company's common stock or specified corporate transactions occur. |
On or after November 15, 2015, and up through and including the second business day immediately preceding March 15, 2016, the Holders may convert their Convertible Notes into common stock.
Holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of their Convertible Notes upon a fundamental change, primarily a change in control or termination of trading, at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any. The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to their maturity date. The Convertible Notes do not limit the amount that the Company would be required to pay or the number of shares that would be required to be issued upon conversion.
Amortization of the discount allocated to the debt component of the Convertible Notes for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $4.1 million, $3.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and interest expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 was $4.3 million, $4.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2014, the if-converted value of the notes, which assumes that the notes will be converted into shares of the Company's common stock, exceeded the principal amount by $163.9 million.
Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate convertible note hedge transactions (the Convertible Note Hedges) and separate warrant transactions (the Warrants) with certain financial investors to reduce the potential dilution of the Company's common stock and to offset potential payments by the Company to holders of the Convertible Notes in excess of the principal of the Convertible Notes upon conversion. The Convertible Note Hedges and Warrants are separate transactions, entered into by the Company with the financial institutions, and are not part of the Convertible Notes described above.
62
The Company paid $19.5 million for the Convertible Note Hedges. Under the terms of the Convertible Note Hedges, the counterparties to the Convertible Note Hedges will generally deliver to the Company amounts in excess of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes delivered upon conversion by the Company to the holders of the Convertible Notes in the same form of consideration elected to be delivered by the Company to the holders of the Convertible Notes under the indenture for the Convertible Notes. The Company may elect to settle the conversion feature of the Convertible Notes in cash or shares of common stock or in any combination of cash or shares of common stock as determined in accordance with the provisions of the indenture. The Convertible Note Hedges are currently exercisable and expire on March 15, 2016.
Concurrent with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company sold Warrants to certain financial institutions that permit such financial institutions to acquire shares of the Company's common stock. The Warrants are exercisable by the financial institutions for 10.9 million shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $10.00 per share. The Company received $11.9 million in proceeds from the sale of the Warrants. The Warrants expire at various dates beginning in June 2016 and ending in September 2016. The Warrants provide for net share settlement by the Company, subject to the option of the Company to deliver cash in lieu of shares if certain conditions under the Warrants have been met.
Convertible Note Repurchase
During 2014, the Company repurchased $15.1 million in principal of its Convertible Notes for $42.7 million. This cash consideration was allocated to the fair value of the liability component immediately before extinguishment and the remaining consideration was allocated to the equity component and recognized as a reduction of shareholders' equity. As of December 31, 2013, the carrying value of the equity component of the Convertible Notes was $19.5 million. In 2014, the carrying value was reduced by $27.6 million in connection with the repurchase of the Convertible Notes. The effective interest rate on the liability component during the year ended December 31, 2014 was 11%.
The repurchase of the Convertible Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $1.4 million, which classified as Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Debt Extinguishment
In October 2014, Hawaiian extinguished $54.2 million of existing debt under a secured financing agreement, which was originally scheduled to mature in October 2023. This debt extinguishment resulted in a loss of $2.3 million, which was reported as Interest expense and amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Revolving Credit Facilities
In September 2014, Hawaiian terminated its secured revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Capital Finance LLC, which provided for a secured revolving credit facility of up to $75 million.
In November 2014, Hawaiian entered into a credit agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. providing for a secured revolving credit and letter of credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") in an amount of up to $175 million, maturing in November 2017. Hawaiian may, from time to time, grant liens on certain eligible account receivables, aircraft, spare engines, and ground support equipment, as well as cash and certain cash equivalents, in order to secure its outstanding obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility. Indebtedness under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at a per annum rate based on, at Hawaiian's option: (1) a variable rate equal to the London interbank offer rate plus a margin of 3.0%; or (2) another rate based on certain market interest rates plus a margin of 2.0%. Hawaiian is also subject to compliance and liquidity covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.
As of December 31, 2014 the Company had no outstanding borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income (including the reversal of deferred tax liabilities) during the periods in which those deferred tax assets will become deductible. The Company's management assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets, and records a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that a portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As result of the Company's assessment, a valuation allowance was not recorded as of December 31, 2014.

11. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
Hawaiian sponsors various defined benefit pension plans covering the Air Line Pilots Association, International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (AFL-CIO) (IAM) and other personnel (salaried, Transport Workers Union, Network Engineering Group). The plans for the IAM and other employees were frozen in September 1993. Effective January 1, 2008, benefit accruals for pilots under age 50 as of July 1, 2005 were frozen (with the exception of certain pilots who were both age 50 and older and participants of the plan on July 1, 2005) and Hawaiian began making contributions to an alternate defined contribution retirement program for its pilots. All of the pilots' accrued benefits under their defined benefit plan at the date of the freeze were preserved. In addition, Hawaiian sponsors four unfunded defined benefit postretirement medical and life insurance plans and a separate plan to administer the pilots' disability benefits.

Plan Assets
The Company develops the expected long-term rate of return assumption based on historical experience and by evaluating input from the trustee managing the plan's assets, including the trustee's review of asset class return expectations by several consultants and economists, as well as long-term inflation assumptions. The Company's expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on a target allocation of assets, which is based on the goal of earning the highest rate of return while maintaining risk at acceptable levels. The plan strives to have assets sufficiently diversified so that adverse or unexpected results from any one security class will not have an unduly detrimental impact on the entire portfolio. The actual allocation of our pension and disability plan assets and the target allocation of assets by category at December 31, 2014 are as follows:
Asset Allocation | |||||
2014 | Target | ||||
Equity securities | 59 | % | 60 | % | |
Fixed income securities | 36 | % | 35 | % | |
Real estate investment trusts | 5 | % | 5 | % | |
100 | % | 100 | % | ||
As discussed in Note 5, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 — | Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; |
Level 2 — | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities; and |
Level 3 — | Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |

The investment objective of the Insurance Company Pooled Separate Account is to invest in short-term cash equivalent securities to provide a high current income consistent with the preservation of principal and liquidity. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.
Common collective trust (CCT). The postretirement plan's CCT investment consists of a balanced profile fund and a conservative profile fund. These funds primarily invest in mutual funds and exchange-traded funds. The balanced profile fund is designed for participating trusts that seek substantial capital growth, place modest emphasis on short-term stability, have long-term investment objectives, and accept short-term volatility in the value of the fund's portfolio. The conservative profile fund is designed for participating trusts that place modest emphasis on capital growth, place moderate emphasis on short-term stability, have intermediate-to-long-term investment objectives, and accept moderate short-term volatility in the value of the fund's portfolio. There are currently no redemption restrictions on these investments. The fair value of the investments in this category has been estimated using the net asset value per share.

12. Capital Stock and Share-based Compensation
Common Stock
The Company has one class of common stock issued and outstanding. Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote per share.
No dividends were paid by the Company during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 or 2012. Provisions in certain of the Company's aircraft lease agreements restrict the Company's ability to pay dividends.
Special Preferred Stock
The IAM, AFA, and ALPA each hold one share of Special Preferred Stock, which entitles each union to nominate one director to the Company's Board of Directors. In addition, each series of the Special Preferred Stock, unless otherwise specified: (i) ranks senior to the Company's common stock and ranks pari passu with each other series of Special Preferred Stock with respect to liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company and will be entitled to receive $0.01 per share before any payments are made, or assets distributed to holders of any stock ranking junior to the Special Preferred Stock; (ii) has no dividend rights unless a dividend is declared and paid on the Company's common stock, in which case the Special Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive a dividend in an amount per share equal to two times the dividend per share paid on the common stock; (iii) is entitled to one vote per share of such series and votes with the common stock as a single class on all matters submitted to holders of the Company's common stock; and (iv) automatically converts into the Company's common stock on a 1:1basis, at such time as such shares are transferred or such holders are no longer entitled to nominate a representative to the Company's Board of Directors pursuant to their respective collective bargaining agreements.
Share-Based Compensation
Total share-based compensation expense recognized by the Company under ASC 718 was $6.7 million, $4.6 million and $3.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2014, $7.8 million of share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options and other stock awards (inclusive of $0.3 million for stock options and other stock awards granted to non-employee directors) is attributable to future performance and has not yet been recognized. The related expense will be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.1 years.
70
Stock Options
The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 was $7.6 million and $9.7 million, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
Commitments
The Company has operating commitments with a third-party to provide aircraft maintenance services which include fixed payments as well as variable payments based on flight hours for our Airbus fleet through 2027. The Company also has operating commitments with third-party service providers for reservations, IT, and accounting services through 2024.
Committed capital and operating expenditures include escalation and variable amounts based on estimated forecasts. The gross committed expenditures for upcoming aircraft deliveries and committed financings for those deliveries for the next five years and thereafter are detailed below:

* | See below for a detailed discussion of the committed financings Hawaiian has received for its upcoming capital commitments for aircraft deliveries. |
A330-800neo and Rolls-Royce Agreements
In December 2014, Hawaiian entered into an amendment (the "Purchase Agreement Amendment") to the Airbus A330/A350WXB Purchase Agreement to convert its order for six firm A350XWB-800 aircraft with an additional six purchase rights into an order for six firm A330-800neo aircraft with an additional four options and two purchase rights. The Purchase Agreement Amendment provides for delivery, subject to certain flexibility rights, of six A330-800neo aircraft starting in 2019. The aircraft will be powered by Rolls-Royce Trent 7000 engines.
In December 2014, Hawaiian entered into a General Terms Agreement with Rolls-Royce for the supply of products and services in support of the Trent 7000 engines to be installed on the Airbus A330-800neo aircraft. The General Terms Agreement includes the terms for the supply of spare engines, product warranties and performance guarantees. The General Terms Agreement also includes the provision of TotalCare maintenance for the engines while in service with Hawaiian.
Purchase Assignment and Lease Financing Agreement
In December 2014, Hawaiian entered into an agreement with a third-party aircraft lessor for the purchase assignment and leaseback of three Airbus A330-200 aircraft scheduled for delivery in 2015 with total committed lease financing of $181 million. Both the gross capital commitment for the cost of the aircraft and the committed financing are reflected in the table above. The agreement has an initial lease term of 12 years and fixed monthly rental payments that will be determined upon delivery of the aircraft.
The anticipated future minimum payments for this lease are $16.2 million in 2015, $25.3 million in each of the years 2016 through 2019, and $186.3 million thereafter.
Litigation and Contingencies
The Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its operations. Management does not anticipate that the disposition of any currently pending proceeding will have a material effect on the Company's operations, business or financial condition.
72
General Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into numerous aircraft financing and real estate leasing arrangements that have various guarantees included in the contract. It is common in such lease transactions for the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third-parties for tort liabilities that arise out of or relate to the lessee's use of the leased aircraft or occupancy of the leased premises. In some cases, this indemnity extends to related liabilities arising from the negligence of the indemnified parties, but usually excludes any liabilities caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, the lessee typically indemnifies such parties for any environmental liability that arises out of or relates to its use of the real estate leased premises. The Company believes that it is insured (subject to deductibles) for most tort liabilities and related indemnities described above with respect to the aircraft and real estate that it leases. The Company cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments, if any, under the foregoing indemnities and agreements.
Credit Card Holdback
Under the Company's bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $5.0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash.
14. Geographic Information
The Company's primary operations are that of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaiian. Principally all operations of Hawaiian either originate and/or end in the State of Hawai'i. The management of such operations is based on a system-wide approach due to the interdependence of Hawaiian's route structure in its various markets. As Hawaiian offers only one significant line of business (i.e., air transportation), management has concluded that it has only one segment.
The Company's operating revenues by geographic region (as defined by the Department of Transportation, DOT) are summarized below:
Year Ended December 31, | |||||||||||
2014 | 2013 | 2012 | |||||||||
(in thousands) | |||||||||||

Total operating revenue | $ | 2,314,879 | $ | 2,155,865 | $ | 1,962,353 | |||||
Hawaiian attributes operating revenue by geographic region based upon the origin and destination of each flight segment. Hawaiian's tangible assets consist primarily of flight equipment, which are mobile across geographic markets, and, therefore, have not been allocated to specific geographic regions.

16. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented in accordance with Regulation S-X paragraph 210.3-10 because, in connection with the issuance by two pass-through trusts formed by Hawaiian (which is also referred to in this Note 16 as Subsidiary Issuer / Guarantor) of pass-through certificates, as discussed in Note 8, the Company (which is also referred to in this Note 16 as Parent Issuer / Guarantor), is fully and unconditionally guaranteeing the payment obligations of Hawaiian, which is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, under equipment notes to be issued by Hawaiian to purchase new aircraft.
Condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in the following tables:

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014, and provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
82
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our CEO and CFO, an assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 was conducted. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 framework). Based on their assessment, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2014, the Company's internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. We reviewed the results of management's assessment with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who also has audited the Company's consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Ernst & Young's report on the Company's internal control over financial reporting appears below.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs.
Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.
We have audited Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.'s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). Hawaiian Holdings, Inc.'s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company's internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company's internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company's assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. and our report dated February 9, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
