Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On April 24, 2019, Spirit Airlines, Inc. (the “Company” or “Spirit”) issued a press release announcing its unaudited financial results for the first quarter 2019. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Non-GAAP financial measures that reflect adjustments from historical financial data prepared under GAAP, including adjustments for special items, are included in the press release as supplemental disclosures because the Company believes they are useful indicators of the Company's operating performance for comparative purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures are well recognized performance measurements in the airline industry that are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in comparing the operating performance of companies in the airline industry. The non-GAAP financial measures provided have limitations as an analytical tool. Because of these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company has also provided in the press release reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the appropriate GAAP financial measures.

Spirit Airlines Reports First Quarter 2019 Results

MIRAMAR, Fla., April 24, 2019 - Spirit Airlines, Inc. (NYSE: SAVE) today reported firstquarter 2019 financial results.

	First Quarter 2019		First Quarter 2018
	As Reported	Adjusted	As Reported	Adjusted
	(GAAP)	(non-GAAP)1	(GAAP)	(non-GAAP)1
Revenue	$855.8 million	$855.8 million	$704.1 million	$704.1 million
Operating Income (loss)	$87.8 million	$89.7 million	$(38.8) million	$51.2 million
Operating Margin	10.3%	10.5%	(5.5)%	7.3%

“Solid execution of our revenue initiatives and strong underlying demand trends drove adjusted diluted earnings per share growth of over 90 percent¹ for the first quarter 2019 compared to the first quarter last year. On capacity growth of 16.9 percent year over year, for the first quarter 2019, the team delivered a total revenue per available seat mile increase of 4.1 percent driven by improvements in both ticket and non-ticket yields.  We also ran a great operation during the quarter, improving our completion factor by 70 basis points to 98.9 percent despite more weather disruptions than the year prior and delivering an on-time performance of 82.6 percent², which was among the best in the industry,” said Ted Christie, Spirit’s President and Chief Executive Officer.

Revenue Performance

For the first quarter 2019, Spirit's total operating revenue was $855.8 million, an increase of 21.5 percent compared to the first quarter 2018, driven by a 16.0 percent increase in flight volume and increases in both passenger yields and load factor.

Total operating revenue per available seat mile ("TRASM") for the firstquarter2019increased4.1 percent compared to the same period last year. During the first quarter 2019, the Company's results continued to benefit from its ticket and non-ticket revenue initiatives.

On a per passenger flight segment basis, total revenue for the first quarter 2019 increased 1.6 percent year over year to $109.44 with fare revenue per passenger flight segment increasing 1.6 percent to $53.24 and non-ticket revenue per passenger flight segment increasing 1.6 percent to $56.20³. The improvement in non-ticket revenue per passenger segment year over year was largely driven by dynamic pricing initiatives and improved take rates of bundled service offerings.

Cost Performance

For the first quarter2019, total GAAP operating expenses increased3.4 percent year over year to $768.0 million. Adjusted operating expenses for the first quarter 2019 increased 17.3 percent year over year to $766.1 million⁴. Drivers of the increase in adjusted operating expense compared to the first quarter last year include higher flight volume, contracted pilot rate increases, airport rent and landing fee escalations, and higher depreciation expense.  On a GAAP basis, these increases were largely offset by lower special charges year over year.

1

Aircraft fuel expense increased in the first quarter 2019 by 12.2 percent year over year, due to a 15.6 percent increase in fuel gallons consumed.

Spirit reported first quarter 2019 cost per available seat mile ("ASM"), excluding special items and fuel (“Adjusted CASM ex-fuel”), of 5.46 cents⁴, an increase of 2.4 percent compared to the same period last year, primarily due to higher salaries, wages and benefits per ASM, largely driven by contracted rate increases pilots received effective March 1, 2018. This increase was partially offset by lower aircraft rent per ASM and better operational performance.

“Strong revenue performance coupled with solid cost control helped produce a 320 basis point improvement in our adjusted operating margin for the first quarter 2019,” said Scott Haralson, Spirit’s Chief Financial Officer.  “We are continuing to capture the benefits of the hard work and dedication by all our team members to profitably grow our business, improve our brand image, execute on our plan to drive revenue improvement, and maintain an industry-leading cost position.  We are committed to keeping this momentum going and delivering strong returns for our shareholders.”

Liquidity

Spirit ended the first quarter 2019 with unrestricted cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments of $1.2 billion. Spirit generated $205.2 million of operating cash flow and ended first quarter 2019 with adjusted free cash flow of $163.8 million⁵.

Fleet

Spirit took delivery of five new aircraft (one A320ceo and four A320neo) during the first quarter 2019, ending the quarter with 133 aircraft in its fleet.

Network

During the quarter, Spirit continued its goal to broaden and diversify its network with new service from Austin and Indianapolis primarily to large leisure destinations.  Spirit also added new service between existing destinations, bringing its operation to over 600 daily flights to 75 destinations in the U.S., Latin America, and the Caribbean.

Conference Call/Webcast Detail

Spirit will conduct a conference call to discuss these results tomorrow, April 25, 2019, at 9:30 a.m. ET. A live audio webcast of the conference call will be available to the public on a listen-only basis at http://ir.spirit.com.

The Company is providing a reconciliation of GAAP financial information to non-GAAP financial information as it believes that non-GAAP financial measures provide management and investors the ability to measure the performance of the Company on a consistent basis. These non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as analytical tools. Because of these limitations, determinations of the Company's operating performance excluding unrealized gains and losses or special items should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures may be presented on a different basis than other companies using similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures.

As most of the Company’s capital expenditures are related to acquiring assets to grow the business, the Company believes it is beneficial for investors to use Adjusted Free Cash Flow to asses whether the Company has sufficient liquidity.  Adjusted Free Cash Flow adjusts for Purchase of property and equipment, Pre-delivery deposits on flight equipment, net of refunds, and Proceeds from issuance of long-term debt to provide a consistent view of the Company’s liquidity regardless of how the Company chooses to finance aircraft required for growth.  Management believes investors should have a metric to assess the Company’s liquidity on a consistent basis regardless of how the Company chooses to finance assets used for growth.

Investor Update

April 24, 2019

This investor update provides Spirit's second quarter and full year 2019 guidance. All data is based on preliminary estimates.

For the second quarter 2019, Spirit estimates its total revenue per available seat mile (“TRASM”) will be up approximately 5 percent year over year which includes approximately 50 basis points of negative impact from the Easter storm described below.

During the summer of 2019, the Ft. Lauderdale airport will be doing construction on the North runway, limiting the flight throughput per hour.  Following the Company's review of the airport's operational plan, the Company decided to boost its number of crew members and effective aircraft spares at Ft. Lauderdale airport during this construction, adding approximately 100 basis points to the CASM ex-fuel year over year percentage change for the second quarter 2019. Separately, a severe storm system impacted a large majority of flights to/from Florida on April 19, 2019. As a result, Spirit canceled 318 flights (58 million available seat miles (“ASMs”)) over the Easter weekend and incurred costs of about $6 million for passenger re-accommodation and disrupted crew expenses.  The additional expense and loss of ASMs related to this storm adds approximately 150 basis points to the CASM ex-fuel year over year percentage change for the second quarter 2019.  Spirit now estimates its cost per available seat mile excluding fuel (“CASM ex-fuel”) for the second quarter 2019 will be about 5.41 cents, up approximately 4.6 percent year over year.

The Company estimates its full year 2019 CASM ex-fuel will be up between 2 and 3 percent year over year which includes 50 basis points related to carrying the extra crew during the Ft. Lauderdale runway construction and 50 basis points related to the Easter storm.

The Company will provide additional details regarding its outlook for 2019 on its conference call scheduled for April 25, 2019.
