These statements are intended to qualify for the "safe harbor" from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When used in this document, the words "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "indicates," "remains," "believes," "estimates," "forecast," "guidance," "outlook," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "goals," "targets" and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Additionally, forward- looking statements include statements that do not relate solely to historical facts, such as statements which identify uncertainties or trends, discuss the possible future effects of current known trends or uncertainties, or which indicate that the future effects of known trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted, guaranteed, or assured. Forward-looking statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions, and are based on information currently available to us. Actual results may differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements due to many factors, including, without limitation, the COVID-19 pandemic including existing and new variants, and the outbreak of any other disease or similar public health threat that affects travel demand or behavior; restrictions on our business related to the financing we accepted under various federal government support programs such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, and the American Rescue Plan Act; our significant fixed obligations and substantial indebtedness; risk associated with execution of our strategic operating plans in the near-term and long-term; the recording of a material impairment loss of tangible or intangible assets; our extremely competitive industry; volatility in financial and credit markets which could affect our ability to obtain debt and/or lease financing or to raise funds through debt or equity issuances; volatility in fuel prices, maintenance costs and interest rates; our reliance on high daily aircraft utilization; our ability to implement our growth strategy; our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and maintain our culture as we grow; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers, including for aircraft, aircraft engines and parts and vulnerability to delays by those suppliers; our dependence on the New York and Boston metropolitan markets and the effect of increased congestion in these markets; our reliance on automated systems and technology; the outcome of the lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice and certain state Attorneys General against us related to our Northeast Alliance entered into with American Airlines; our being subject to potential unionization, work stoppages, slowdowns or increased labor costs; our presence in some international emerging markets that may experience political or economic instability or may subject us to legal risk; reputational and business risk from information security breaches or cyber-attacks; changes in or additional domestic or foreign government regulation, including new or increased tariffs; changes in our industry due to other airlines' financial condition; acts of war or terrorism; global economic conditions or an economic downturn leading to a continuing or accelerated decrease in demand for air travel; adverse weather conditions or natural disasters; external geopolitical events and conditions; the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the right of JetBlue or Spirit Airlines, Inc. ("Spirit") or both of them to terminate the Merger Agreement; failure to obtain applicable regulatory approval in a timely manner or otherwise and the potential financial consequences thereof; failure to satisfy other closing conditions to the transaction with Spirit; failure of the parties to consummate the transaction; JetBlue's ability to finance the transaction with Spirit and the indebtedness JetBlue expects to incur in connection with the transaction; the possibility that JetBlue may be unable to achieve expected synergies and operating efficiencies within the expected timeframes or at all and to successfully integrate Spirit's operations with those of JetBlue; the possibility that such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected or that operating costs and business disruption (including, without limitation, disruptions in relationships with employees, customers or suppliers) may be greater than expected in connection with the transaction with Spirit; failure to realize anticipated benefits of the combined operations; demand for the combined company's services; the growth, change and competitive landscape of the markets in which the combined company participates; expected seasonality trends; diversion of managements' attention from ongoing business operations and opportunities; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships, including those resulting from the announcement or completion of the transaction with Spirit; risks related to investor and rating agency perceptions of each of the parties and their respective business, operations, financial condition and the industry in which they operate; risks related to the potential impact of general economic, political and market factors on the companies or the transaction with Spirit; and ongoing and increase in costs related to IT network security. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections, beliefs, and assumptions upon which we base our expectations may change prior to the end of each quarter or year. Any outlook or forecasts in this document have been prepared without taking into account or consideration the transaction with Spirit. Given the risks and uncertainties surrounding forward-looking statements, you should not place undue reliance on these statements. You should understand that many important factors, in addition to those discussed in this Presentation, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Further information concerning these and other factors is contained in JetBlue's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including but not limited to, JetBlue's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events discussed in this Presentation might not occur. Our forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Presentation. Other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. This Presentation also includes certain "non-GAAP financial measures" as defined under the Exchange Act and in accordance with Regulation G. We have included reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated and provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP within this Presentation.#3jetBlue 4Q22 Earnings Update Robin Hayes Chief Executive Officer#4jetBlue Creating Long-Term Value for All Stakeholders Delivering on our commitments while building momentum 2022 We delivered on our commitments.

Non-GAAP financial measures are financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements, but that are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide a meaningful comparison of our results to others in the airline industry and our prior year results. Investors should consider these non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, our financial performance measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. Further, our non-GAAP information may be different from the non-GAAP information provided by other companies. The information in Appendices A and B provides an explanation of each non-GAAP financial measure and shows a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this presentation to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. jetBlue 12#13Operating expense per available seat mile, excluding fuel and related taxes, other non-airline operating expenses, and special items (CASM Ex-Fuel) Operating expenses per available seat mile, or CASM, is a common metric used in the airline industry. We exclude aircraft fuel and related taxes, operating expenses related to other non-airline businesses, such as JetBlue Technology Ventures and JetBlue Travel Products, and special items from operating expenses to determine CASM ex-fuel, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. In 2022, special items include costs related to the following: Embraer E190 fleet transition, our acquisition of Spirit Airlines, the Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA) contract ratification bonus, and the implementation of our Transport Workers Union (TWU) contract. Special items for 2019 include costs related to our Embraer E190 fleet transition and the implementation of our ALPA collective bargaining agreement. We believe that CASM ex-fuel is useful for investors because it provides investors the ability to measure financial performance excluding items beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors, or not related to the generation of an available seat mile, such as operating expense related to certain non-airline businesses. We believe this non-GAAP measure is more indicative of our ability to manage airline costs and is more comparable to measures reported by other major airlines. With respect to JetBlue's CASM ex-fuel guidance, JetBlue is unable to provide a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure to GAAP because the excluded items have not yet occurred and cannot be reasonably predicted. The reconciling information that is unavailable would include a forward-looking range of financial performance measures beyond our control, such as fuel costs, which are subject to many economic and political factors. Accordingly, a reconciliation to CASM is not available without unreasonable effort. jetBlue Total operating expenses Less: Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation of Operating Expense Per ASM, Excluding Fuel ($ in millions, per ASM data in cents) (unaudited) Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 2019 per ASM $ 2,372 Aircraft fuel and related taxes Other non-airline expenses Special items Operating expenses, excluding fuel $ 1,504 800 11 57 14.40 4.86 0.07 0.34 9.13 $ $ 1,804 455 12 1 $ 1,336 per ASM 11.22 2.83 0.08 8.31 $ Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022 2019 $ 9,456 3,105 55 113 $ 6,183 per ASM 14.67 4.82 0.08 0.18 9.59 $ 7,294 1,847 46 14 $ 5,387 per ASM 11.43 2.89 0.08 0.02 8.44 13#14Operating expense, income (loss) before income taxes, net income (loss) and earnings (loss) per share, excluding special items and (loss) gain on equity investments Our GAAP results in the applicable periods were impacted by credits and charges that were deemed special items. In 2022, special items include costs related to the following: Embraer E190 fleet transition, our acquisition of Spirit Airlines, the ALPA ratification bonus, and the implementation of our TWU contract. Special items for 2019 include costs related to our Embraer E190 fleet transition and the implementation of our pilots' collective bargaining agreement. Certain gains and losses on our equity investments were also excluded from our 2022 and 2019 GAAP results. We believe the impact of these items distort our overall trends and that our metrics are more comparable with the presentation of our results excluding the impact of these items. The table provides a reconciliation of our GAAP reported amounts to the non-GAAP amounts excluding the impact of these items. jetBlue Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliation of Operating Expense, Income (Loss) Before Taxes, Net Income (Loss) and Earnings (Loss) Per Share Excluding Special Items and Gain (Loss) on Equity Investments ($ in millions, except per share amounts) (unaudited) Total operating revenues Total operating expenses Less: Special items Total operating expenses excluding special items Operating income (loss) Add back: Special items Operating income (loss) excluding special items Operating margin excluding special items Income (loss) before income taxes Add back: Special items Less: (Loss) gain on equity investments Income (loss) before income taxes excluding special items and (loss) gain on equity investments Pre-tax margin excluding special items and (loss) gain on equity investments Net income (loss) Add back: Special items Less: Income tax benefit related to special items Less: (Loss) gain on equity investments Less: Income tax benefit (expense) related to (loss) gain on equity investments Net income (loss) excluding special items and (loss) gain equity investments Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share: Basic Add back: Special items, net of tax Less: (Loss) gain on equity investments, net of tax Basic excluding special items and (loss) gain on equity investments Diluted Add back: Special items, net of tax Less: (Loss) gain on equity investments, net of tax Diluted excluding special items and (loss) gain on equity investments Three Months Ended December 31, 2022 2019 2,415 2,031 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 2,372 57 2,315 43 57 100 4.1% 7 57 (5) 69 2.8% 24 57 13 (5) 1 72 0.07 0.14 (0.01) 0.22 0.07 0.14 (0.01) 0.22 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 1,804 1,803 227 1 228 11.2% 220 1 221 10.9% 161 1 162 0.56 0.01 0.57 0.56 0.56 Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2022 2019 $ 9,158 8,094 $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 9,456 113 9,343 (298) 113 (185) (2.0)% (437) 113 (9) (315) (3.4)% (362) 113 19 (9) 1 (260) (1.12) 0.29 (0.03) (0.80) (1.12) 0.29 (0.03) (0.80) $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ $ 7,294 14 7,280 800 14 814 10.1% 768 14 15 767 9.5% 569 14 4 15 (4) 568 1.92 0.04 0.04 1.92 1.91 0.03 0.04 1.90 14#15Appendix B: Calculation of Leverage Ratios 1) Debt to Capitalization Ratio Adjusted for Total Operating Leases Adjusted debt to capitalization ratio is a non-GAAP financial metric which we believe is helpful to investors in assessing the company's overall debt profile.
