HONOLULU, Feb. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (Nasdaq: HA) ("Holdings" or "the Company"), parent company of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. ("Hawaiian"), today reported a consolidated net loss for the three months ended December 31, 2008 of $11.9 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, on total operating revenue of $300.5 million. This result compares to net income of $3.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, on total operating revenue of $250.7 for the three months ended December 31, 2007. The Company's operating income of $38.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2008 compares to an operating loss of $2.0 million in the prior year period.

For the full year 2008, the Company reported consolidated net income of $28.6 million, or $0.57 per diluted share, on total operating revenue of $1.211 billion. This result compares to consolidated net income of $7.1 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, on total operating revenue of $982.6 million for the full year 2007.

"No one would have scripted the story line of 2008 one year ago," commented Mark Dunkerley, the Company's president and chief executive officer. "Hawaiian had to cope with three unexpected but defining events during the year: the foundering of two of our competitors; the escalation in the price of petroleum products and their subsequent collapse; and, the economic cataclysm that has seized our local, national and global economies. To have emerged at year's end stronger than when we started, with an improved financial result and a strengthened balance sheet, is a significant accomplishment for the team."

"The fourth quarter operating profits reflect an improvement in the fundamentals of our business despite the onset of a severe recession in the United States and abroad. While tourism to Hawaii has been deeply affected by sweeping economic challenges, the reduction in industry capacity and lower fuel prices have helped to offset the impact on our business."

"These trends have continued into the early part of 2009 but the tenuous nature of demand and the volatility of oil prices coupled with our bookings taking place much closer to the date of travel obscures the path ahead. 2008 was a year of unpredicted fortune and 2009 may well be similar. In these uncertain times we remain focused on delivering our customers safe and reliable air transportation and outstanding customer service. We are grateful for their continued support," concluded Mr. Dunkerley.

Fourth Quarter Financial Results

The Company reported operating income of $38.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2008, compared to an operating loss of $2.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2007.

Hawaiian's short haul interisland operations increased significantly year-over-year during the fourth quarter, while long haul capacity was virtually flat year-over-year. Since shorter haul operations tend to have both higher revenue and higher costs per seat mile, this shift in mix of flying toward a higher percentage of shorter segment interisland operations tends to inflate both revenue per available seat mile (RASM) and cost per seat mile (CASM) relative to the prior year.

Fourth quarter 2008 operating revenue was $300.5 million, a 19.9% increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2007. Capacity for the quarter increased 1.9% year-over-year to 2.4 billion available seat miles (ASMs), resulting in RASM of 12.55 cents, up 17.8% from 10.66 cents in the fourth quarter a year ago. Fourth quarter load factor decreased to 80.4% from 86.8% in the same period a year ago. Passenger yield (passenger revenue per revenue passenger mile) increased 23.5% to 13.96 cents from 11.31 cents in the fourth quarter of 2007.

    (a) In millions.

Total operating expenses for the fourth quarter of 2008 increased 3.9% year-over-year to $262.4 million, resulting in operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) of 10.96 cents, up 2.0% versus the same period a year ago. Excluding fuel, fourth quarter CASM increased 9.1% to 7.67 cents versus 7.03 cents for the same period a year ago.

Aircraft fuel costs decreased 9.7% year-over-year in the fourth quarter to $78.9 million and represented 30.1% of operating expenses. Hawaiian's average cost per gallon of jet fuel decreased 11.7% year-over-year in the fourth quarter to $2.32 (including taxes and delivery), while block hours increased 10.3% primarily reflecting increased 717 operations. During the current year period, the financial impact of hedging activities are included in non-operating income/expenses, and as such are not reflected in fuel expense. During the fourth quarter, Hawaiian realized losses of $13.5 million on settled fuel derivative contracts, whereas non-operating expense reflects the recognition of $21.3 million in losses from Hawaiian's fuel hedging activity which includes both realized gains and losses as well as changes in the mark-to-market value of fuel derivative contracts.

We believe that economic fuel expense is the best measure of the effect of fuel prices on our business as it most closely approximates the net cash outflow associated with the purchase of fuel for our operations in a period. We define economic fuel expense as GAAP fuel expense plus (gains)/losses realized through actual cash receipts/payments received from or paid to hedge counterparties for fuel hedge derivative settled during the period, including any premium expense we recognized. Economic fuel expense for the three months ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is calculated as follows:

Wages and benefits expenses increased by $7.9 million in the fourth quarter of 2008 from the comparable period in 2007 primarily as a result of increased operating activity associated with expanded interisland service following cessation of service by our primary interisland competitor in April 2008. Additionally, during the fourth quarter of 2007, our results reflected the benefit of a non-recurring adjustment to Workers' Compensation liabilities of $3.4 million. Aircraft rental expenses increased $4.2 million during the period reflecting the recognition of additional rent expense related to certain maintenance deposits for which the Company does not expect to be reimbursed based on current estimates of future maintenance expense. Hawaiian's year-over-year increase in Other Rentals and Landing Fees reflects the increase in interisland operations and rate increases primarily associated with airports in the state of Hawaii.

Fourth quarter 2008 non-operating expense totaled $33.9 million, as compared to non-operating income of $3.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. Lower interest expense in the fourth quarter of 2008 was offset by lower interest income, while expenses totaling $21.3 million related to Hawaiian's fuel hedging activities accounted for the majority of the year-over-year increase in non-operating expense. The fuel hedging expenses include $13.5 million of realized losses on derivative contracts settling in the quarter, the reversal of $3.3 million of previously recorded losses on these same contracts, and $11.2 million in unrealized losses related to fuel derivative contracts settling in future periods. Additionally, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $7.8 million associated with an impairment of its auction rate securities. The auction rate securities have a face value of $35.5 million.

2008 Full Year Financial Results

For the full year 2008, the Company reported operating income of $91.9 million compared to operating income of $6.8 million for the full year 2007.

Full year 2008 operating revenue was $1.211 billion, a 23.2% increase compared to $982.6 million in 2007. Capacity for 2008 increased 3.0% year-over-year to 9.5 billion ASMs, resulting in RASM of 12.73 cents, up 19.6% from 10.64 cents a year ago. Load factor decreased to 82.6% from 87.3% in 2007. Passenger yield increased 25.8% to 14.10 cents from 11.21 cents.

Total operating expenses for the year increased 14.7% to $1.119 billion. CASM in 2008 increased 11.4% to 11.77 cents. During the second quarter of 2008, Hawaiian received a litigation settlement totaling $52.5 million concluding its lawsuit with Mesa Air Group. CASM excluding litigation settlement and fuel for the year was 7.86 cents, an increase of 6.1% versus the prior year.

For the full year of 2008, the Company reported non-operating expenses of $38.7 million, compared to non-operating expenses of $8.9 million in 2007, including the impact of the aforementioned fair value adjustment associated with auction rate securities. Expenses totaling $16.1 million related to Hawaiian's fuel hedging activities accounted for the majority of the year-over-year increase in non-operating expense. The fuel hedging expenses include $1.1 million of realized losses on derivative contracts settling in the year, the reversal of $3.3 million of previously recorded gains on these same contracts, and $11.6 million in unrealized losses related to fuel derivative contracts settling in future periods.
