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 an one-time gain on equity method
investment.
In 2020, special items include contra-expenses recognized on the utilization
of payroll support grants received under the CARES Act, contra-expenses
recognized on the Employee Retention Credits provided by the CARES Act,
impairment charges of our Embraer E190 fleet, losses generated from
certain 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 as well as one-time costs related to the implementation of our
pilots' collective bargaining agreement.
We believe the impacts of these items distort our overall trends and that our
metrics and results are 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 impacts of these items.
