Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 9, 2012, the Registrant issued a press release reporting its system wide traffic statistics for the month of September, third quarter and year-to-date and updating expectations for its estimated cost per available seat mile excluding fuel, passenger and operating revenue per available seat mile, passenger revenue per revenue passenger mile, load factor and capacity for the third quarter of 2012. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference. The decline in revenue guidance is primarily the result of competitive pricing on a number of specific routes that have seen high rates of industry capacity growth; the improved unit cost guidance is attributable to revenue-driven expense savings, decreased load factors, and lower than expected maintenance expense.
All of the information furnished in this report (including Exhibit 99.1) shall not be deemed to be filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and unless expressly set forth by specific reference in such filings, shall not be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings.

Third Quarter 2012 Revised Outlook
Hawaiian has revised its third quarter expectations compared to those provided in its September 4th Investor Update (see table below). The decline in revenue guidance is primarily the result of competitive pricing on a number of specific routes that have seen high rates of industry capacity growth; the improved unit cost guidance is attributable to revenue-driven expense savings, decreased load factors, and lower than expected maintenance expense.
