jetBlue Results Presentation Deck
Operating expense, income (loss) before taxes, net income
(loss) and earnings (loss) per share, excluding special items
and gain (loss) on equity investments
Our GAAP results in the applicable periods were impacted by credits
and charges that were deemed special items.
In 2021, special items include contra-expenses recognized on the
utilization of federal grants received under various payroll support
programs, contra-expenses recognized on the Employee Retention
Credits (ERCs) provided by the CARES Act, and one-time costs
related to the ratification of the collective bargaining agreement with
our inflight crew members.
Special items for 2019 include one-time 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 2021 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 below
provides a reconciliation of our GAAP reported amounts to the non-
GAAP amounts excluding the impact of these items.
