jetBlue Results Presentation Deck
Operating Expense, Income before Taxes, Net Income and Earnings per Share, excluding special items and gain on equity method investments
Our GAAP results in the applicable periods were impacted by charges that are deemed special items, and gain on equity method investments. We believe the impacts of these items make our results
difficult to compare to prior periods as well as future periods and guidance. In 2020, special items include contra-expenses recognized on the utilization of payroll support grants received under the CARES
Act, impairment charges of our Embraer E190 fleet, losses generated from sale-leaseback transactions, and one-time costs associated with our voluntary crew member separation programs. Special items
for 2019 include one-time costs related to the Embraer E190 fleet transition, one-time costs related to the implementation of our pilots' collective bargaining agreement, as well as a gain on an equity
method investment. We believe the impacts of these items distort our overall trends and that our metrics and results are enhanced 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 impacts of these items.
