Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Business and Basis of Presentation
Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the Company or Holdings) is a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company’s primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (Hawaiian). The accompanying unaudited financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations and financial position for the periods presented. Due to seasonal fluctuations, among other factors common to the airline industry, the results of operations for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be expected for the entire year. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), requiring an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. ASU 2014-09 will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016, and allow for either full retrospective or modified retrospective adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that the provisions of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have determined that the new standard, once effective, will preclude the Company from accounting for miles earned under its HawaiianMiles customer loyalty program using the incremental cost method, and will require use of the deferred revenue method. This change could have a significant impact on the Company's financial statements.

4. Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share, which excludes dilution, is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock.

|
In March 2011, the Company entered into a convertible note transaction which included the sale of convertible notes, purchase of call options and sale of warrants. As of March 31, 2015, the Company’s 5% Convertible Notes due in 2016 ("Convertible Notes") had an outstanding principal balance of $8.1 million and can be redeemed with either cash or the Company’s common stock, or a combination thereof, at the Company’s option. In 2015, the Company repurchased $63.1 million in principal of the Convertible Notes. The 1.0 million shares into which the currently outstanding Convertible Notes can be converted will not impact the dilutive earnings per share calculation in the current and future periods under the if-converted method, as the Company has the intent and ability to redeem the principal amount of the Convertible Notes with cash.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the average share price of the Company’s common stock exceeded the conversion price of $7.88 per share. Therefore, shares related to the conversion premium of the Convertible Notes (for which share settlement is assumed for earnings per share purposes) are included in the Company's computation of diluted earnings per share. Although the average share price of the Company’s common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 exceeded the conversion price of $7.88 per share, shares related to the conversion premium of the Convertible Notes were not included in the Company’s computation of diluted earnings per share in such quarter as the Company was in a net loss position for that period and the effect would have been antidilutive.
In connection with the issuance of the Convertible Notes, the Company entered into separate call option transactions and separate warrant transactions with certain financial investors to reduce the potential dilution of the Company’s common stock and to offset potential payments by the Company to holders of the Convertible Notes in excess of the principal of the Convertible Notes upon conversion.
The call options to repurchase the Company’s common stock will always be antidilutive and, therefore, will have no effect on diluted earnings per share and are excluded from the table above.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 the average share price of the Company's common stock exceeded the warrant strike price of $10.00 per share. Therefore, the assumed conversion of the warrants is included in the Company's computation of diluted earnings per share. Although the average share price of the Company’s common stock during the quarter ended March 31, 2014 exceeded the warrant strike price of $10.00 per share, the assumed conversion of the warrants was not included in the Company’s computation of diluted earnings per share in such quarter as the Company was in a net loss position for that period and the effect would have been antidilutive.
5. Short-Term Investments
Debt securities that are not classified as cash equivalents are classified as available-for-sale investments and are stated at fair value. Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are reflected in nonoperating income (expense) in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are reflected as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.
The following is a summary of short-term investments held as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014:

6. Fair Value Measurements
ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820) clarifies that fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term for the assets or liabilities; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The tables below present the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The fair value estimates of the Company’s debt were based on either market prices or the discounted amount of future cash flows using the Company’s current incremental rate of borrowing for similar liabilities.
The carrying amounts of cash, other receivables and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
7. Financial Derivative Instruments
The Company uses derivatives to manage risks associated with certain assets and liabilities arising from the potential adverse impact of fluctuations in global fuel prices and foreign currencies.
Fuel Risk Management
The Company’s operations are inherently dependent upon the price and availability of aircraft fuel. To manage economic risks associated with fluctuations in aircraft fuel prices, the Company periodically enters into derivative financial instruments. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company primarily used heating oil puts and swaps to hedge its aircraft fuel expense. These derivative instruments were not designated as hedges under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging (ASC 815), for hedge accounting treatment. As a result, any changes in fair value of these derivative instruments are adjusted through other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.
The following table reflects the amount of realized and unrealized gains and losses recorded as nonoperating income (expense) in the unaudited Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Unrealized losses on contracts that will settle in future periods | | (5,509 | ) | | (5,753 | ) |
Losses on fuel derivatives recorded as Nonoperating income (expense) | | $ | (5,687 | ) | | $ | (6,899 | ) |
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk Management
The Company is subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk due to revenues and expenses denominated in foreign currencies, with the primary exposures being the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. To manage exchange rate risk, the Company executes its international revenue and expense transactions in the same foreign currency to the extent practicable.
The Company enters into foreign currency forward contracts to further manage the effects of fluctuating exchange rates. The effective portion of the gain or loss of designated cash flow hedges is reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the related sales are recognized as passenger revenue. The effective portion of the foreign currency forward contracts represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in the fair value of the hedged item. To the extent the change in the fair value of the hedge does not perfectly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized as nonoperating income (expense). Foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated as cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recognized as other nonoperating income (expense) in the period of change.
The Company believes that its foreign currency forward contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flow attributable to the hedged risk. The Company reclassified $4.0 million in gains from AOCI to passenger revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company expects to reclassify a net gain of approximately $14.9 million into earnings over the next 12 months from AOCI based on the values at March 31, 2015.
The following tables present the gross fair value of asset and liability derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815 and derivatives that are not designated as hedging instruments under ASC 815, as well as the net derivative positions and location of the asset and liability balances within the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Risk and Collateral
The financial derivative instruments expose the Company to possible credit loss in the event the counterparties to the agreements fail to meet their obligations. To manage such credit risks, the Company (1) selects its counterparties based on past experience and credit ratings, (2) limits its exposure to any single counterparty, and (3) periodically monitors the market position and credit rating of each counterparty. Credit risk is deemed to have a minimal impact on the fair value of the derivative instruments as cash collateral would be provided by the counterparties based on the current market exposure of the derivative.
The Company's agreements with its counterparties also requires the posting of cash collateral in the event the aggregate value of the Company's positions exceeds certain exposure thresholds that are based upon certain liquidity metrics of the Company. The aggregate fair value of the Company's derivative instruments that contain credit-risk related contingent features that are in a net liability position as of March 31, 2015 was $29.5 million.
ASC 815 requires a reporting entity to elect a policy of whether to offset rights to reclaim cash collateral or obligations to return cash collateral against derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement, or present such amounts on a gross basis. The Company’s accounting policy is to present its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis, including any collateral posted with the counterparty. The Company had no collateral posted with counterparties as of March 31, 2015 and $0.6 million in collateral posted with counterparties as of December 31, 2014.
The Company is also subject to market risk in the event these financial instruments become less valuable in the market. However, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments will generally offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item, limiting the Company’s overall exposure.
8. Debt
As of March 31, 2015, the expected maturities of long-term debt for the remainder of 2015 and the next four years, and thereafter, were as follows (in thousands):
|
| | | |

Convertible Notes
During the three months ended March 31, 2015 a condition for conversion of the Convertible Note was satisfied, which permits holders of the Convertible Notes to surrender their notes for conversion during the quarter ending June 30, 2015. Therefore, the principal balance is classified accordingly in the table above. As of March 31, 2015, the carrying value of $7.8 million is reflected as a current liability in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company repurchased $63.1 million in principal of its Convertible Notes for an aggregate repurchase price of $156.5 million. The cash consideration was allocated to the fair value of the liability component immediately before extinguishment and the remaining consideration was allocated to the equity component and recognized as a reduction of shareholders' equity.
The repurchase of the Convertible Notes resulted in a loss on extinguishment of $7.0 million, which is reflected in nonoperating income (expense) in the unaudited Consolidated Statement of Operations.
9. Leases
The Company leases aircraft, engines and other assets under long-term lease arrangements. Other leased assets include real property, airport and terminal facilities, maintenance facilities, and general offices. Certain leases include escalation clauses and renewal options. When lease renewals are considered to be reasonably assured, the rental payments that will be due during the renewal periods are included in the determination of rent expense over the life of the lease.
During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company took delivery of an Airbus A330-200 aircraft under an operating lease with a lease term of 12 years.
As of March 31, 2015, the scheduled future minimum rental payments under operating leases with non-cancellable basic terms of more than one year were as follows: |

Hawaiian has a commitment to assign its purchase of two Airbus A330-200 aircraft at delivery and simultaneously enter into a lease agreement for each respective aircraft with scheduled delivery in April 2015 and October 2015 with total committed lease financing of $96 million. Both the gross capital commitment for the cost of the aircraft and the committed financing are reflected in the table above. The agreement has an initial lease term of 12 years and fixed monthly rental payments that will be determined upon delivery of the aircraft.
The anticipated future minimum payments for these leases, which are not included in the operating lease table at Note 9, are $8.4 million for the remainder of 2015, $16.9 million in each of the years 2016 through 2019, and $126.5 million thereafter.
Litigation and Contingencies
The Company is subject to legal proceedings arising in the normal course of its operations. Management does not anticipate that the disposition of any currently pending proceeding will have a material effect on the Company’s operations, business or financial condition.
General Guarantees and Indemnifications
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into numerous aircraft financing and real estate leasing arrangements that have various guarantees included in the contract. It is common in such lease transactions for the lessee to agree to indemnify the lessor and other related third-parties for tort liabilities that arise out of or relate to the lessee’s use of the leased aircraft or occupancy of the leased premises. In some cases, this indemnity extends to related liabilities arising from the negligence of the indemnified parties, but usually excludes any liabilities caused by their gross negligence or willful misconduct. Additionally, the lessee typically indemnifies such parties for any environmental liability that arises out of or relates to its use of the real estate leased premises. The Company believes that it is insured (subject to deductibles) for most tort liabilities and related indemnities described above with respect to the aircraft and real estate that it leases. The Company cannot estimate the potential amount of future payments, if any, under the foregoing indemnities and agreements.
Credit Card Holdback
Under the Company’s bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in the Company’s unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $5.0 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also cause an increase in the level of restricted cash. If the Company is unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could have a material adverse impact on the Company.
12. Condensed Consolidating Financial Information
The following condensed consolidating financial information is presented in accordance with Regulation S-X paragraph 210.3-10 because, in connection with the issuance by two pass-through trusts formed by Hawaiian (which is also referred to in this Note 12 as Subsidiary Issuer / Guarantor) of pass-through certificates, the Company (which is also referred to in this Note 12 as Parent Issuer / Guarantor), is fully and unconditionally guaranteeing the payment obligations of Hawaiian, which is a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company, under equipment notes issued by Hawaiian to purchase new aircraft.
Condensed consolidating financial statements are presented in the following tables:

OVERVIEW
Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the “Company,” “Holdings,” “we,” “us” and “our”) is a holding company incorporated in the State of Delaware. The Company’s primary asset is its sole ownership of all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of Hawaiian Airlines, Inc. (“Hawaiian”). Hawaiian was originally incorporated in January 1929 under the laws of the Territory of Hawai‘i and became the Company’s indirect 100% owned subsidiary pursuant to a corporate restructuring that was consummated in August 2002. Hawaiian became a Delaware corporation and the Company’s direct wholly-owned subsidiary concurrent with its reorganization in June 2005.
Our Business
We are engaged in the scheduled air transportation of passengers and cargo amongst the Hawaiian Islands (the "Neighbor Island" routes), between the Hawaiian Islands and certain cities in the U.S. mainland (the "North America" routes), and between the Hawaiian Islands and the South Pacific, Australia and Asia (the "International" routes), collectively referred to as our "Scheduled Operations". In addition, we operate various charter flights. We are the largest airline headquartered in the State of Hawai‘i and the tenth largest domestic airline in the United States based on revenue passenger miles reported by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration Bureau of Transportation Statistics for the month of January 2015, the latest available data.
As of March 31, 2015, Hawaiian had 5,371 active employees.
General information about us is available at http://www.hawaiianairlines.com/aboutus. Information contained on our website is not incorporated by reference into, or otherwise to be regarded as part of, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q unless expressly noted. Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and current reports on Form 8-K, as well as any amendments and exhibits to those reports, are available free of charge through our website as soon as reasonably practicable after we file them with, or furnish them to, the SEC.
Financial Highlights
| |
• | GAAP net income in the first quarter of $25.9 million or $0.40 per diluted share. |
| |
• | Adjusted net income, reflecting economic fuel expense and excluding the loss on extinguishment of debt, in the first quarter of $24.7 million or $0.38 per diluted share. |
| |
• | Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments of $488 million. |
| |
• | The Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to buy back up to $100 million of its common stock. |
See “Results of Operations” below for further discussion of changes in revenue and operating expense. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below for our reconciliation of non-GAAP measures.
Outlook
We expect our financial performance to improve through the second quarter as a result of improving revenue growth from our cargo operations and ancillary revenue products, the maturation of our International routes, and favorable fuel prices. We expect available seat miles during the quarter ending June 30, 2015 to increase by 3% to 5% from the same prior year period, while operating revenue per available seat mile is expected to decrease by 1% to 4% from the same prior year period. We expect operating cost per available seat mile, excluding fuel, for the quarter ending June 30, 2015 to increase by 0.5% to 3.5% from the same prior year period.
Fleet Summary

(1) | During the quarter ended March 31, 2015, we took delivery of one leased A330-200 aircraft (delivered in February 2015). The increase in the number of leased Airbus A330-200 aircraft from March 31, 2015 to 2016 is due to the planned delivery of two aircraft to be financed through purchase assignment and lease transactions. See Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding the purchase assignment and lease transactions. |
| |
(2) | The decrease in the number of leased Boeing 767-300 aircraft from 2015 to 2016 is due to the planned return of three aircraft at the end of their lease terms. |
| |
(3) | Leased aircraft include both aircraft under capital and operating leases. See Note 9 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion regarding our aircraft leases. |
| |
(4) | The ATR42 aircraft are owned by Airline Contract Maintenance & Equipment, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. |
Results of Operations
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we generated net income of $25.9 million, or $0.40 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, for the same period in 2014.

Operating Revenue
Operating revenue increased $15.4 million, or 2.9%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, driven primarily by an increase in other operating revenue.
Other operating revenue
Other operating revenue increased by $14.3 million, or 25.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. Our co-branded credit card agreement increased other operating revenue by $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Also, an increase in the volume of cargo transported increased other operating revenue by $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. The increase in volume was the result of additional cargo capacity and improved revenue generation on our existing routes.
Passenger revenue
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, passenger revenue decreased $1.1 million, or 0.2%, as compared to the prior year period. Details of these changes are described in the table below:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Change in scheduled passenger revenue | | Change in Yield | | Change in RPM | | Change in ASM |

North America
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, North America revenue increased by $11.9 million as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased traffic on our North America routes commensurate with the increase in our capacity in late 2014. This was offset by a decrease in the yield generated from these routes, which was a result of the increase in industry capacity during the current period.
Neighbor Island
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Neighbor Island revenue increased by $6.6 million, as compared to the prior year period, due to the launch of our turboprop operations in March 2014 and the impact of marginally higher average fares.
International
For the three months ended March 31, 2015, International revenue decreased by $17.4 million, as compared to the prior year period, due to decreased capacity and yield. Decrease in capacity was driven by changes we made to our network in 2014, including the suspension of our routes from Honolulu to Fukuoka, Japan (June 2014) and from Honolulu to Taipei, Taiwan (April 2014). The reduced capacity from these route suspensions were partially offset by the introduction of our Beijing, China service in April 2014. Also, the continued strengthening of the U.S. dollar resulted in decreased average fares compared to the prior period.
Operating Expense
Operating expenses were $469.1 million and $514.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Increases (decreases) in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to the prior year period are detailed below:

Aircraft fuel
Aircraft fuel expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the decrease in the average fuel price per gallon as illustrated in the following table:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |

| | 2015 | | 2014 | | Change |

| | 3.3 | % |
Average fuel price per gallon, including taxes and delivery | | $ | 1.95 |

| | (37.1 | )% |
We believe 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 and is consistent with how management manages our business and assesses our operating performance. We define economic fuel expense as raw fuel expense plus (gains)/losses realized through actual cash payments to/(receipts from) hedge counterparties for fuel hedge derivatives settled in the period inclusive of costs related to hedging premiums. Economic fuel expense is calculated as follows:

See Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" for additional discussion of our jet fuel costs and related hedging program.
Wages and benefits
Wages and benefits expense increased by $12.5 million, or 11.6%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, due to an increase in pension and postretirement benefit expenses. Our profit-sharing expense also increased as a result of our improved financial performance compared to the prior year period.
Aircraft rent
Aircraft rent expense increased by $2.1 million, or 8.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to lease return costs of $2.0 million for three Boeing 767-300 aircraft.
Maintenance materials and repairs
Maintenance materials and repairs expense decreased by $3.1 million, or 5.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the performance of fewer heavy maintenance checks on our Boeing 767-300 aircraft, and was partially offset by the increase in the number and utilization of our Airbus A330-200 aircraft.
Aircraft and passenger servicing
Aircraft and passenger servicing expense decreased by $1.9 million, or 6.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the repeal of the Aviation Security Infrastructure Fee, which took effect in October 2014.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.4 million, or 10.4%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to the increase in the number of owned aircraft (four A330-200 aircraft financed under our 2013 EETC agreement offset by the retirement of two B767-300 aircraft).
Other rentals and landing fees
Other rentals and landing fees expense increased by $2.3 million, or 11.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, due to increased rates and landing frequencies.
Nonoperating Expense
Net nonoperating expense increased by $10.8 million, or 59.1%, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the prior year period, primarily due to losses of $7.0 million incurred in connection with the convertible note repurchases made during the quarter.
Income Taxes
We had effective tax rates of 38.4% and 38.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We consider a variety of factors in determining the effective tax rate, including our forecasted full-year pretax results, the U.S. federal statutory rate, expected nondeductible expenses and estimated state taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity is dependent on the cash we generate from operating activities and our debt financing arrangements. As of March 31, 2015, we had $226.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $262.1 million in short-term investments, a decrease of $36.0 million from December 31, 2014.
We have been able to generate sufficient funds from our operations to meet our working capital requirements and typically finance our aircraft through secured debt and lease financings. At March 31, 2015, Hawaiian had approximately $962.4 million of debt and capital lease obligations, including approximately $100.8 million classified as a current liability in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Hawaiian has a secured revolving credit facility in an amount of up to $175.0 million. As of March 31, 2015, we had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility.
Cash Flows
Net cash provided by operating activities was $161.7 million and $89.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase was primarily due to our improved financial performance from the prior year period.
Net cash used in investing activities was $13.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to pre-delivery deposits paid during the quarter offset by the proceeds received in connection with the purchase assignment and leaseback of the Airbus A330-200 aircraft that was delivered in February 2015.
Net cash used in financing activities was $186.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 primarily due to the repurchase of convertible notes during the quarter.
Capital Commitments
As of March 31, 2015, we had the following capital commitments consisting of firm aircraft and engine orders and purchase rights:

Committed expenditures for these aircraft, engines and related flight equipment approximates $108 million for the remainder of 2015, $67 million in 2016, $234 million in 2017, $411 million in 2018, $497 million in 2019 and $435 million thereafter.
For the remainder of 2015, we expect our other non-aircraft related capital expenditures, which include software, improvements and ramp and maintenance equipment, to total approximately $35 million to $45 million.
In order to complete the purchase of these aircraft and fund related costs, we must secure acceptable financing. We have backstop financing available from aircraft and engine manufacturers, subject to certain customary conditions. We are also currently exploring various financing alternatives, and while we believe that such financing will be available to us, there can be no assurance that financing will be available when required, or on acceptable terms, or at all. The inability to secure such financing could have an impact on our ability to fulfill our existing purchase commitments and a material adverse effect on our operations.
Stock Repurchase Program
In April 2015, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program under which we may purchase up to $100 million of our outstanding common stock through the open market, established plans or privately negotiated transactions in accordance with all applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. The stock repurchase program is subject to modification or termination at any time.
Covenants under our Financing Arrangements
Under our bank-issued credit card processing agreements, certain proceeds from advance ticket sales may be held back to serve as collateral to cover any possible chargebacks or other disputed charges that may occur. These holdbacks, which are included in restricted cash in our unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets set forth in the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, totaled $5.0 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
In the event of a material adverse change in the business, the holdback could increase to an amount up to 100% of the applicable credit card air traffic liability, which would also result in an increase in the required level of restricted cash. If we are unable to obtain a waiver of, or otherwise mitigate the increase in the restriction of cash, it could have a material adverse impact on our operations.
Pension and Postemployment Benefit Plan Funding
We contributed $12.8 million to our defined benefit and other postretirement plans during the three months ended March 31, 2015, including $7.3 million above the minimum funding requirements, and expect to contribute $2.3 million during the remainder of 2015. Future funding requirements for our defined benefit plans are dependent upon many factors such as interest rates, funded status, applicable regulatory requirements and the level and timing of asset returns.
Contractual Obligations
Our estimated contractual obligations as of March 31, 2015 are summarized in the following table:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| |
(1) | Amounts represent contractual amounts due, including interest. Interest on variable-rate debt was estimated using rates in effect as of March 31, 2015. Amount reflects capital lease obligations for one Airbus A330-200 aircraft, two Boeing 717 aircraft and one A330 flight simulator. |
| |
(2) | During the period ended March 31, 2015 a condition for conversion of the Convertible Note was satisfied, which permits holders of the Convertible Notes to surrender their notes for conversion during the quarter ending June 30, 2015. Therefore, the principal balance is classified accordingly in the above table. However, the 5% interest-only, semiannual payments are excluded from the table. |
| |
(3) | Amounts reflect leases for seven Airbus A330-200 aircraft, six Boeing 767 aircraft, one Boeing 717 aircraft, three turbo-prop aircraft and aircraft-related equipment as of March 31, 2015. |
| |
(4) | Amounts include our firm commitments for aircraft and aircraft related equipment. See Note 11 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements for further discussion of the purchase assignment and leaseback transactions for our remaining two A330-200 aircraft deliveries in 2015. |
| |
(5) | Amounts include commitments for services provided by third-parties for aircraft maintenance for our Airbus fleet, accounting, IT and reservations. Total contractual obligations do not include long-term contracts where the commitment is variable in nature (with no minimum guarantee), such as aircraft maintenance deposits due under operating leases and fees due under certain other agreements such as aircraft maintenance power-by-the-hour, computer reservation systems and credit card processing agreements, or when the agreements contain short-term cancellation provisions. |
| |
(6) | Amount includes our estimated contributions to our pension plans (based on actuarially determined estimates) and our pilots’ disability plan. Amounts are subject to change based on numerous factors, including interest rate levels, the amount and timing of asset returns and the impact of future legislation. We are currently unable to estimate the projected contributions beyond 2017. |
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We believe the disclosure of non-GAAP financial measures is useful information to readers of our financial statements because:
| |
• | We believe it is the basis by which we are evaluated by industry analysts and investors; |
| |
• | These measures are often used in management and board of directors decision making analysis; |
| |
• | It improves a reader’s ability to compare our results to those of other airlines; and |
| |
• | It is consistent with how we present information in our quarterly earnings press releases. |
Adjusted net income (loss) reflecting economic fuel expense and excluding loss on extinguishment of debt
See table below for reconciliation between GAAP consolidated net income (loss) to adjusted consolidated net income (loss), including per share amounts (in thousands unless otherwise indicated). The adjustments are described below:
| |
• | Unrealized gains on fuel derivative contracts, net of tax, are based on market prices for open contracts as of the end of the reporting period. As the cost and availability of fuel is volatile, excluding the impact of fuel derivative adjustments allows investors to better analyze our operational performance and compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below. |
| |
• | Loss on extinguishment of debt, net of tax, is excluded to allow investors to better analyze our core operational performance and more readily compare our results to other airlines in the periods presented below. |

Operating Costs per Available Seat Mile (CASM)
We have listed separately in the table below our fuel costs per ASM and our non-GAAP unit costs, excluding fuel. These amounts are included in CASM, but for internal purposes we consistently use unit cost metrics that exclude fuel and non-recurring items (if applicable) to measure and monitor our costs.
CASM and CASM, excluding fuel, are summarized in the table below:

Critical Accounting Policies
The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions and/or conditions.
Critical accounting policies and estimates are defined as those accounting policies and accounting estimates that are reflective of significant judgments and uncertainties that potentially result in materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. For a detailed discussion of the application of our critical accounting policies, see “Critical Accounting Policies” and Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
We are subject to certain market risks, including commodity price risk (i.e. jet fuel prices), interest rate risk and foreign currency risk. We have market-sensitive instruments in the form of variable-rate debt and financial derivatives used to offset Hawaiian’s exposure to jet fuel price increases, and financial hedge instruments used to hedge Hawaiian’s exposure to variable interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk. The adverse effects of potential changes in these market risks are discussed below.
The sensitivity analyses presented do not consider the effects that such adverse changes may have on overall economic activity nor do they consider additional actions we might undertake to mitigate our exposure to such changes. Actual results may differ.
Aircraft Fuel Costs
Aircraft fuel costs constitute a significant portion of our operating expense. Fuel costs represented 24% and 33% of our operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Approximately 69% of our fuel is based on Singapore jet fuel prices, 30% is based on U.S. West Coast jet fuel prices and 1% on other jet fuel prices. Based on gallons expected to be consumed for the remainder of 2015, a $0.10 increase in the cost of a gallon of jet fuel would increase our fuel expense by approximately $18 million, excluding the results of our fuel hedge program.
We periodically enter into derivative financial instruments to manage our exposure to changes in the price of jet fuel. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, our fuel hedge program primarily consisted of heating oil puts and swaps. Put option contracts provide for a settlement in favor of the holder in the event the prices fall below a predetermined contractual level during a particular time period. Swaps provide for a settlement in our favor in the event the prices exceed a predetermined contractual level and are unfavorable in the event prices fall below a predetermined contractual level.
As of March 31, 2015, we hedged approximately 50% of our projected fuel requirements for the remainder of 2015 with heating oil puts and swaps. As of March 31, 2015, the fair value of these fuel derivative agreements reflected a net liability of $29.5 million that is recorded in other accrued liabilities in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We expect to continue our program of offsetting some of our exposure to future changes in the price of jet fuel with a combination of fixed forward pricing contracts, swaps, calls, collars and other option-based structures.
We do not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
Interest Rates
Our results of operations are affected by fluctuations in interest rates due to our variable-rate debt and interest income earned on our cash deposits. Our variable-rate debt agreements are discussed in Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
At March 31, 2015, we had $84.3 million of variable-rate debt indexed to the following interest rates:
|
| | | |
Index | | Rate |
One-month LIBOR | | 0.18 | % |
Three-month LIBOR | | 0.27 | % |
Changes in market interest rates have a direct and corresponding effect on our pre-tax earnings and cash flows associated with our variable-rate debt and interest-bearing cash accounts. Based on the balances of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and variable-rate debt as of March 31, 2015, a change in interest rates is unlikely to have a material impact on our results of operations.
At March 31, 2015, we had $878.0 million of fixed-rate debt including aircraft capital lease obligations, a convertible note, facility agreements for aircraft purchases, and the outstanding equipment notes related to our 2013 EETC financing. Market risk for fixed-rate long-term debt is estimated as the potential increase in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% decrease in interest rates, and amounted to approximately $17.1 million as of March 31, 2015.
In 2013, we issued variable-rate debt to finance a portion of the purchase price of another Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The interest rate associated with this debt is based on a market index rate that resets every three months. To limit our exposure to significant increases in the applicable market index rates for this debt, we entered into a forward starting interest swap agreement.
Foreign Currency
We generate revenues and incur expenses in foreign currencies. Changes in foreign currency exchange rates impact our results of operations through changes in the dollar value of foreign currency-denominated operating revenues and expenses. Our most significant foreign currency exposures are the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar. Based on expected remaining 2015 revenues and expenses denominated in Japanese Yen and Australian Dollars, a 10% strengthening in value of the U.S. dollar, relative to the Japanese Yen and Australian Dollar, would result in a decrease in operating income of approximately $10.5 million and $7.6 million, respectively, which excludes the offset of the hedges discussed below. This potential impact to the results of our operation is driven by the inherent nature of our international operations, which requires us to accept a large volume of sales transactions denominated in foreign currencies while few expense transactions are settled in foreign currencies. This disparity is the primary factor in our exposure to foreign currencies.
As of March 31, 2015, the fair value of our foreign currency forwards reflected a net asset of $13.3 million and $3.0 million recorded in prepaid expenses and other and long-term prepayments and other, respectively, in the unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), performed an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), which have been designed to permit us to effectively identify and timely disclose important information. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2015 to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports it files under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and CFO, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as set forth below, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) during the quarter ended March 31, 2015 which materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
During the first quarter of 2015, we implemented a new third party revenue accounting system, which replaced our legacy system in its entirety. The implementation of the new revenue accounting system was not done in response to an identified deficiency or weakness in our internal control over financial reporting.
Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, will be detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
