Continued Strong EBITDAR Margins
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Adjusted CASM (or Adjusted Cost per Available Seat Mile)
•
Air Canada uses adjusted CASM to assess the operating performance of its ongoing airline business
without the effects of aircraft fuel expense, the cost of ground packages at Air Canada Vacations,
and special items as these items may distort the analysis of certain business trends and render
comparative analysis to other airlines less meaningful
-
-
Aircraft fuel expense is excluded from operating expense results as it fluctuates widely depending
on many factors, including international market conditions, geopolitical events, jet fuel refining
costs and Canada/U.S. currency exchange rates
Air Canada also incurs expenses related to ground packages at Air Canada Vacations which some
airlines, without comparable tour operator businesses, may not incur
Excluding aircraft fuel expense, the cost of ground packages at Air Canada Vacations, and special
items from operating expenses generally allows for more meaningful analysis of Air Canada's
operating expense performance and a more meaningful comparison to those of other airlines
