Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On April 20, 2020, Delta Air Lines, Inc. (“Delta”) entered into a Payroll Support Program Agreement (“PSP Agreement”) with the United States Department of the Treasury pursuant to Division A, Title IV, Subtitle B of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ("CARES Act").
Pursuant to the PSP Agreement, Delta expects to receive approximately $5.4 billion in payroll support payments. The payroll support payments are conditioned on Delta’s agreement to refrain from conducting involuntary employee layoffs or furloughs through September 30, 2020. Other conditions include prohibitions on share repurchases and dividends through September 30, 2021, continuing essential air service as directed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and certain limitations on executive compensation.
The relief payments include $3.8 billion in grants and $1.6 billion in an unsecured 10-year loan. Delta received the first installment of $2.7 billion under the agreement on April 20, 2020 and expects to receive the balance in installments over the next three months. The loan includes annual interest rates of 1.00% for the first five years (through April 2025) and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus 2.00% in the final five years. Seventy percent of the $2.7 billion received on April 20 was in the form of a grant and 30 percent was in the form of an unsecured term loan. Delta has entered into a Promissory Note for $785 million with respect to the term loan which will increase to its full amount as additional payroll support payments are received. In addition, Delta has agreed to issue to the U.S. Department of the Treasury 6.5 million warrants to acquire Delta common stock. One-half of the warrants were issued on April 20, and the remaining warrants will be issued as additional payroll support payments are received. These warrants have an exercise price of $24.39 per share and a five-year term.
The CARES Act also provides for up to $25 billion in secured loans to the airline industry. Delta expects to be eligible for approximately $4.6 billion under the loan program and is currently evaluating its level of participation in that program.

Delta Air Lines Announces March Quarter 2020 Financial Results
and COVID-19 Response Actions
March quarter 2020 GAAP pre-tax loss of $607 million or $0.84 per share
March quarter 2020 adjusted pre-tax loss of $422 million or $0.51 per share
Delta ended the March quarter 2020 with $6.0 billion in unrestricted liquidity
ATLANTA, April 22, 2020 – Delta Air Lines (NYSE:DAL) today reported financial results for the March quarter 2020 and outlined its response to the COVID-19 global pandemic.
“These are truly unprecedented times for all of us, including the airline industry. Government travel restrictions and stay-at-home orders have been effective in slowing the spread of the virus, but have also severely impacted near-term demand for air travel, reducing our expected June quarter revenues by 90 percent, compared to a year ago” said Ed Bastian, Delta’s chief executive officer. “Delta is taking decisive action to prioritize the safety of our employees and customers while protecting our business and bolstering liquidity. I am especially proud of the incredible work the Delta people are doing to keep our nation’s airways open, playing an active role in the fight against the virus.”
Bastian continued, “I would like to thank the President, members of Congress, and the Administration for their bipartisan support of the Payroll Support Program under the CARES Act, which recognizes the important role the airlines play in the U.S. economy. The Payroll Support Program will help safeguard Delta jobs while positioning our nation for recovery.”
Response to COVID-19
Network and Customer Experience
To address the challenges of COVID-19, the company is taking the following actions:
· | Making significant capacity reductions for the June quarter versus prior year with total system capacity down 85 percent, including domestic down by 80 and international capacity down by 90 percent | |
· | Adopting new cleaning procedures on all flights, including fogging on all aircraft overnight and sanitizing high-touch areas like tray tables, entertainment screens, armrests and seat-back pockets before boarding | |
· | Taking steps to help employees and customers practice social distancing, including blocking middle seats, pausing automatic upgrades, modifying our boarding process and moving to essential meal service only | |
· | Extending 2020 Medallion Status an additional year, rolling Medallion Qualification Miles into 2021, and extending Delta SkyMiles American Express Card benefits and Delta Sky Club memberships | |
· | Giving customers flexibility to plan, re-book and travel including extending expiration on travel credits to two years |

Community Response
Delta and its 90,000 employees are taking an active role in our nation’s fight against the virus by:
· | Offering free flights to medical professionals fighting COVID-19 in the hardest-hit areas of the U.S. | |
· | Chartering international cargo-only flights to provide healthcare workers with materials needed to do their jobs | |
· | Operating charters and specially approved scheduled flights to nations around the world to repatriate more than 28,000 people displaced by the virus to the U.S. | |
· | Manufacturing tens of thousands of face shields and masks at Delta Flight Products to aid healthcare workers | |
· | Partnering with the U.S. military to develop and manufacture secure, sterile transport pods at Delta TechOps, which will safely transit infected personnel to hospitals and medical centers | |
· | Donating over 200,000 pounds of food to hospitals, first responders, community food banks, and organizations including Feeding America |
Expense Management
The company expects June quarter total expenses to decline by approximately 50%, or $5 billion, over prior year due to reduced capacity, lower fuel and cost initiatives, including:
· | Parking more than 650 aircraft | |
· | Consolidating airport facilities, with temporary concourse and Delta Sky Club closures | |
· | Instituting a company-wide hiring freeze and offering voluntary leave options with 37,000 employees taking short-term unpaid leave | |
· | Reducing salary expense through pay reductions for executive management and reduced work schedules across organization |
Balance Sheet, Cash and Liquidity
Delta's top financial priority remains preserving cash and enhancing liquidity. Accordingly, the company has taken the following actions:
· | Raised $5.4 billion of capital since early March, including securing a $3.0 billion secured term loan, closing $1.2 billion in aircraft sale leasebacks, issuing $1.1 billion in AA, A and B tranches of our 2020-1 Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates (EETC), and funding $150 million in private aircraft mortgages to enhance liquidity and satisfy maturing obligations | |
· | Drew down $3 billion under existing revolving credit facilities | |
· | Reduced planned capital expenditures by more than $3 billion, including working with original equipment manufacturers to optimize the timing of our future aircraft deliveries and deferring aircraft mods, IT initiatives, and ground equipment refreshment | |
· | Extended payment terms with airports, vendors and lessors |
· | Suspended shareholder returns, including the Company’s stock repurchase program and future dividend payments |
CARES Act Relief
The company expects to receive relief from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act in the following forms:
· | Payroll support of $5.4 billion, comprised of $3.8 billion of direct relief and a $1.6 billion low-interest, unsecured 10-year loan. Delta has already received $2.7 billion of these funds and expects to receive the remainder over the next three months. As consideration, the U.S. Treasury will receive warrants to purchase over 6.5 million shares of Delta common stock at a strike price of $24.39 with a 5-year maturity | |
· | Eligibility for $4.6 billion in secured loans, if the company chooses to apply and accept funds |
“With the significant impact of COVID-19 on Delta’s revenue, we were burning $100 million per day at the end of March. Through our decisive actions, we expect that cash burn to moderate to approximately $50 million per day by the end of the June quarter,” said Paul Jacobson, Delta’s chief financial officer. “The decade of work we put into the balance sheet to lower debt and build unencumbered assets has been critical to our success in raising capital and we expect to end the June quarter with approximately $10 billion in liquidity.”

Note A: The following tables show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures. The reasons Delta uses these measures are described below. Reconciliations may not calculate due to rounding.
Delta sometimes uses information ("non-GAAP financial measures") that is derived from the Consolidated Financial Statements, but that is not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). Under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission rules, non-GAAP financial measures may be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The tables below show reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures used in this release to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.
Forward Looking Projections. The Company is not able to reconcile forward looking non-GAAP financial measures because the adjusting items such as those used in the reconciliations below will not be known until the end of the period and could be significant.
Pre-Tax (Loss)/Income and Net (Loss)/Income, adjusted. We adjust pre-tax (loss)/income and net (loss)/income for the following items to determine pre-tax (loss)/income and net (loss)/income, adjusted for the reasons described below. We include the income tax effect of adjustments when presenting net (loss)/income, adjusted.
MTM adjustments and settlements on hedges. Mark-to-market ("MTM") adjustments are defined as fair value changes recorded in periods other than the settlement period. Such fair value changes are not necessarily indicative of the actual settlement value of the underlying hedge in the contract settlement period. Settlements represent cash received or paid on hedge contracts settled during the applicable period.
Equity investment MTM adjustments. We record our proportionate share of earnings/loss from our equity investments in Virgin Atlantic and Aeroméxico in non-operating expense. We adjust for our equity method investees' hedge portfolio MTM adjustments to allow investors to understand and analyze our core operational performance in the periods shown.
MTM adjustments on investments. Unrealized gains/losses on our equity investments in GOL, China Eastern, Air France-KLM and Hanjin-KAL, the largest shareholder of Korean Air, which are accounted for at fair value in non-operating expense, are driven by changes in stock prices and foreign currency. During the December 2019 quarter, we sold our GOL investment, which generated a gain in adjusted results that had previously been included in GAAP results. Adjusting for these gains/losses allows investors to better understand and analyze our core operational performance in the periods shown.
Delta Private Jets adjustment. Because we combined Delta Private Jets with Wheels Up in January 2020, we have excluded the impact of Delta Private Jets from 2019 results for comparability

Non-Fuel Unit Cost or Cost per Available Seat Mile, ("CASM-Ex"). We adjust CASM for the following items to determine CASM-Ex for the reasons described below. We adjust for the Delta Private Jets sale for the same reason described above under the heading pre-tax (loss)/income and net (loss)/income, adjusted.
Aircraft fuel and related taxes. The volatility in fuel prices impacts the comparability of year-over-year financial performance. The adjustment for aircraft fuel and related taxes allows investors to understand and analyze our non-fuel costs and year-over-year financial performance.
Third-party refinery sales. We adjust CASM for refinery sales to third parties to determine CASM-Ex because these revenues are not related to our airline segment. CASM-Ex therefore provides a more meaningful comparison of revenue from our airline operations to the rest of the airline industry.
Profit sharing. We adjust for profit sharing because this adjustment allows investors to better understand and analyze our recurring cost performance and provides a more meaningful comparison of our core operating costs to the airline industry.
