"While 2020 has been the most challenging year the airline industry has experienced, we are encouraged that the re-opening of Hawai'i to tourism through the State's pre-travel testing program and Hawaiian's successful testing partnerships have allowed us to begin the journey to recovery" said Peter Ingram, Hawaiian Airlines President and CEO. "My colleagues inspire me every day with their resolve to persevere and emerge from the pandemic strongly as they navigate through challenges and create innovative solutions to position Hawaiian for long-term success. The negative impacts of COVID-19 will create a challenging beginning of 2021, but we are confident that the structural pieces are in place for a sustained recovery."
Statistical data, as well as a reconciliation of the reported non-GAAP financial measures, can be found in the accompanying tables.

Fourth Quarter 2020
On October 15, 2020, the Company reached an important inflection point in its recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic with the re-opening of Hawai'i to tourism through the launch of the State of Hawai'i's pre-travel testing program, which allows guests to avoid quarantine with evidence of a negative COVID-19 test, subject to certain island-specific requirements.
During the fourth quarter, the Company reinstated non-stop service from Honolulu to Las Vegas, Phoenix, San Jose, Oakland, New York and Boston, restoring service to all of its pre-pandemic origin points on the U.S. mainland, as well as non-stop service from Honolulu to Tokyo-Haneda, Japan; Osaka, Japan; and Seoul, South Korea. While the Company doubled its capacity as compared to the third quarter of 2020, its capacity was down
As testing is key to the resumption of Hawai'i travel, the Company launched an array of testing options for travelers, including access to mail-in test kits and proprietary drive-through testing labs in select U.S. mainland gateways.
To increase liquidity, the Company raised approximately
On October 1, 2020, the Company implemented both permanent and extended voluntary leave programs with each of its workgroups. In total, the Company reduced its workforce by approximately 2,400 employees, or more than 32 percent of all employees, of which approximately 2,100 were through voluntary means. As of January 26, 2021, all employees who were subject to an involuntary furlough between October 1, 2020 and January 15, 2021 have been sent recall notices pursuant to the PSP Extension.
In October 2020, the Company executed an amendment with the U.S. Treasury increasing the total amount of the CARES Act Economic Relief Program (ERP) loan under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) from
In October 2020, the Company reached an agreement with Boeing to delay 787-9 deliveries under its purchase agreement for 10 aircraft. The Company expects to take delivery of 787-9 aircraft from 2022 to 2026 with its first aircraft to be delivered in September 2022.
Guest Experience
During the fourth quarter, the Company continued its enhanced cleaning procedures and guest-facing protocols in an effort to minimize the risk of transmission of COVID-19, including:
- Performing enhanced aircraft cleaning between flights and during overnight parking, including recurring electrostatic spraying of all aircraft.
- Frequent cleaning and disinfecting of counters and self-service check-in kiosks in airports.
- Ensuring hand sanitizers are readily available for guests at airports we serve.
- Requiring guests and guest facing employees to wear a face mask or covering, with guests required to wear masks from check-in to deplaning (except when eating or drinking on board).
- Modifying boarding and deplaning processes.
- Modifying in-flight service to minimize close interactions between crew members and guests.
- Eliminating change fees on all domestic and international flights in order to provide guests with travel flexibility across the Company's network.
During the first quarter of 2021, the Company, in coordination with the State of Hawai'i, will implement the Hawai'i Pre-Clear Program across its mainland network to improve the arrivals process for its guests by validating the State's pre-travel testing requirement prior to departure.
Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance
In December 2020, the Company published its inaugural Corporate Kuleana Report outlining its progress advancing various environmental, social and governance (ESG) initiatives. A link to the report can be found through the Investor Relations, Corporate Responsibility section of Hawaiian's website.
Among key environmental accomplishments, the Company lowered its pre-pandemic carbon emissions while increasing flight operations in 2018 and 2019. In 2019, Hawaiian increased Available Seat Miles (ASMs) by 2.1 percent and Revenue Passenger Miles (RPMs) by 3.6 percent while reducing CO2 greenhouse gas emissions by 1.4 percent. When adjusted for year-over-year growth in flying, as measured by RPMs, Hawaiian reduced its CO2 emissions by 4.8 percent during this period.
Multibillion-dollar fleet modernization investments and state-of-the-art flight programs and strategies have allowed Hawaiian to lower jet fuel burn by approximately 8.5 million gallons annually between 2015 and 2019. This decline in jet fuel burn has reduced CO2 emissions by 75,540 metric tons, or the equivalent of removing, on average, more than 16,000 cars from the roads, annually in this period. Hawaiian has also cut energy use at its headquarters by approximately five percent between 2016 and 2018 through motion sensors, LED lighting and tinted windows. In partnership with Carbon Lighthouse, Hawaiian aims to lower energy consumption at its Airport Center building by approximately 24 percent by the end of 2021. In February 2020, Hawaiian became the first U.S. airline to join the U.S. Department of Energy's Better Buildings Challenge, committing to a 20 percent reduction in electricity use by 2026.
First Quarter 2021 Outlook
The Company announced on December 8, 2020 that it will launch four new routes in March and April 2021; nonstop flights from Honolulu to Austin, Texas; Orlando, Florida, and Ontario, California as well as a new flight from Long Beach, California to Maui.
The Company expects its first quarter 2021 capacity to be down about
The Company expects its full year 2021 capital expenditures to be approximately

Economic Fuel Expense
(in thousands, except per-gallon amounts) (unaudited)
The Company believes that economic fuel expense is a good measure of the effect of fuel prices on its business as it most closely approximates the net cash outflow associated with the purchase of fuel for its operations in a period. The Company defines economic fuel expense as GAAP fuel expense plus losses/(gains) realized through actual cash (receipts)/payments received from or paid to hedge counterparties for fuel hedge derivative contracts settled during the period.

Non-GAAP Financial Reconciliation (unaudited)
The Company evaluates its financial performance utilizing various GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures, including net income, diluted net income per share, CASM, PRASM, RASM, Passenger Revenue per RPM, EBITDAR, and pre-tax margin. Pursuant to Regulation G, the Company has included the following reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to comparable financial measures reported on a GAAP basis. The adjustments are described below:
- During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the effective tax rate included a tax benefit of
$15.9 million and$45.4 million , respectively, resulting from the rate differential between the prevailing tax rate of21% during the years that generated net operating losses and the previous tax rate of35% that was in effect during the years to which net operating losses were carried back as a result of the enactment of the CARES Act. - During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized
$240.6 million in contra-expense related to grant proceeds from the PSP. The grant proceeds were recognized in proportion to estimated wages and benefits expense over the period the PSP covers. The Company utilized all proceeds from the PSP as of December 31, 2020. - Changes in fair value of fuel derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period, and include the unrealized amounts of fuel derivatives (not designated as hedges) that will settle in future periods and the reversal of prior period unrealized amounts.
- Changes in fair value of foreign currency derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period, including the unrealized amounts of foreign currency derivatives (not designated as hedges) that will settle in future periods and the reversal of prior period unrealized amounts.
- Unrealized loss (gain) on foreign debt is based on fluctuation in exchange rates and the measurement of foreign-denominated debt to our functional currency.
- The Company recorded the following as special items:
- During the three months ended March 31, 2020, a charge of
$20.2 million was recorded for the ratification of a collective bargaining agreement with the Association of Flight Attendants in April 2020 (related to service prior to January 1, 2020). - During the three months ended March 31, 2020, a special charge of
$106.7 million was recorded for goodwill impairment resulting from the decline in the market value of the Company's equity (i.e., share price), and the Company's inability to support the carrying value of goodwill on its financial statements. - During the three months ended June 30, 2020, an impairment charge of
$27.5 million was recorded related to the Company's ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleets. An additional impairment charge of$3.4 million was recorded related to the Company's commercial real estate subsidiary. - During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded
$3.1 million of charges related to write-downs of projects permanently suspended as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. - During the three months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded
$24.5 million in special items related to its voluntary and involuntary separation programs, of which$17.5 million was recorded as an operating special item related to severance and benefits and$7.0 million was recorded as a non-operating special item related to termination benefits and curtailment loss. - During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment of approximately
$5.4 million , comprised of an additional write-down of its ATR-42 and ATR-72 fleet of approximately$4.9 million as a result of ongoing market uncertainty attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic and the write-off of approximately$0.5 million in capitalized software projects that were permanently suspended in response to the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the Company recorded$0.3 million related to additional costs for the finalization of the voluntary and involuntary separation programs discussed above. - During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed its accounting for voluntary and involuntary separation programs initiated in the third quarter of 2020, resulting in the reversal of non-operating special items of approximately
$1.3 million .
The Company believes that adjusting for the impact of an effective tax rate differential, the receipt of grant proceeds, changes in fair value of fuel derivative contracts and foreign currency derivative contracts, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, special items, and the sale of aircraft and aircraft equipment helps investors better analyze the Company's operational performance and compare its results to other airlines in the periods presented.
