Strong close-in demand and improving yields drove an 8.3 percent year-over-year increase in fourth-quarter total revenue, to $10.6 billion. Passenger yields grew in all geographic regions, including 11.0 percent growth in trans-Atlantic and 7.9 percent growth in Latin America. Cargo revenue was up 19.7 percent to $232 million due to higher volumes and a 6.7 percent increase in cargo yield. Other revenue was up 8.1 percent to $1.3 billion. Fourth-quarter total revenue per available seat mile increased by 5.6 percent compared to 2016 on a 2.5 percent increase in total available seat miles.
Total fourth-quarter operating expenses were $9.9 billion, up 9.8 percent year-over-year due primarily to a 23.5 percent increase in consolidated fuel expense and a 7.0 percent increase in salaries and benefits resulting from the company’s investments in its team members. Total fourth-quarter cost per available seat mile (CASM) was 14.71 cents, up 7.1 percent from fourth-quarter 2016. Excluding fuel and special items, total fourth-quarter CASM was 11.25 cents, up 3.8 percent year-over-year.
Strategic Objectives
The company continues to focus on four long-term strategic objectives: Create a World-Class Customer Experience, Make Culture a Competitive Advantage, Ensure Long-Term Financial Strength, and Think Forward, Lead Forward.
Create a World-Class Customer Experience
American began 2017 by being named Air Transport World’s Airline of the Year in recognition of its successful integration and significant investment in its product and people. This is a recognition American had not received since 1988. Also in 2017, American:
•
Recorded its best on-time departure and arrival performance since 2003, and its best baggage handling performance since DOT began reporting in 1994
•
Launched new products to meet customer demand, including the expansion of American’s best-in-class lounges by opening Flagship First Dining, a new exclusive experience for customers in First Class on international and A321T transcontinental flights. American now offers Flagship First Dining in Miami, Los Angeles, and New York-JFK. Importantly, American is the only U.S. airline that offers international First Class
•
Operated the youngest fleet among its peers and invested $4.1 billion in new aircraft, including its first Boeing 737 MAX. By the end of 2018, the company expects to induct a total of 20 new MAX aircraft, which will replace older, less fuel efficient aircraft
•
Introduced new streaming-capable satellite-based internet access on the 737 MAX, which will be rolled out across most of the domestic mainline fleet

January 25, 2018

•
Introduced Basic Economy, a product to compete with ultra low-cost carriers. This product is now offered nationwide and to leisure markets in Mexico and most of the Caribbean
•
Rolled out Premium Economy, which offers a wider seat, more legroom, an amenity kit, and enhanced meal choices on international flights. Currently 64 widebody aircraft offer this product. American expects to offer Premium Economy on most of its widebody fleet by the spring of 2019
•
Expanded the airline’s global footprint by launching Los Angeles-to-Beijing service; and announcing service from Philadelphia to Prague, Czech Republic, and Budapest, Hungary; Dallas-Fort Worth to Reykjavik-Keflavik, Iceland; and Chicago-O’Hare to Venice, Italy, which will start this summer
•
Completed delivery of the last Boeing 737-800 and Airbus A321CEO aircraft
•
Painted the last aircraft in American’s new livery
“Customers are responding positively to the options American offers, from international First Class to Basic Economy,” said American Airlines President Robert Isom. “We are far ahead of our U.S. competitors in offering Premium Economy on our international flights, which comes just as we begin to prepare for the busy summer travel season. Importantly, this highly-differentiated product makes American’s international service consistent with its partners across the Atlantic and the Pacific, so customers can book their international Premium Economy trips seamlessly.
“American’s customers are noticing these significant product and network improvements. 2017 survey scores measuring our customers’ likelihood to recommend American were the highest they’ve been in company history,” Isom said.
Make Culture a Competitive Advantage
American is creating an environment that cares for frontline team members, provides competitive pay, and equips its team with the right tools to support its customers. During 2017, American:
•
Awarded each team member with two complimentary round-trip tickets across American’s global network to commemorate being named Air Transport World’s 2017 Airline of the Year
•
After hurricanes hit the Caribbean and Florida, American Airlines team members worked together to help the people of San Juan, Puerto Rico and other affected parts of the region. American and its team members have delivered more than 2.5 million pounds of relief supplies and raised almost $2 million for the American Red Cross, in addition to other relief work
•
Invested more than $300 million in facilities and equipment including renovations to team member spaces, mobile devices for pilots and flight attendants, and the ongoing One Campus One Team initiative at the airline’s global support center in Fort Worth
•
Ensured team member pay remained competitive through initiatives such as a mid-contract salary increase for pilots and flight attendants and continued step increases from a mid-contract pay increase for mechanics and fleet service workers
•
Introduced a best-in-industry maternity and adoption benefit program to all team members including union-represented team members
•
Launched the company's first team member survey in over a decade
•
Provided customer service skills training to 35,000 team members through Elevate the Everyday Experience training, and launched training for leaders that emphasizes supporting team members who directly serve customers
•
Announced that work on its CFM56-5B engines, which power much of American’s Airbus narrowbody fleet, would move in-house to its world-class maintenance team located in Tulsa, Oklahoma beginning later this year

•
Just this month, shared benefits of the recent Tax Cuts and Jobs Act by issuing $1,000 payments to all non-officer team members at American and its wholly-owned regional carriers. While American does not yet pay federal cash income taxes, the new tax law will reduce the company’s future tax bill and allow more investments in equipment and facilities
Ensure Long-Term Financial Strength
American has taken significant steps forward to ensure its long-term competitiveness in the global aviation industry. In the four full years since the merger closed, the company’s cumulative pre-tax earnings excluding net special items were $19.4 billion. American is focused on capturing the efficiencies created by the merger, delivering on its earnings potential, and creating value for its owners. In 2017, American:
•
Returned $1.7 billion to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends, bringing the total since mid-2014 to $11.4 billion. These repurchases have reduced the share count by 37 percent to 475.5 million shares at the end of 2017. As of December 31, 2017, the company had approximately $450 million remaining of its current $2.0 billion share repurchase authority2 
•
Announced, at American’s Media & Investor Day last fall, $3.9 billion in revenue and cost initiatives expected to be realized by the end of 2021. These projects are on track and are expected to improve the customer experience, drive revenue improvements, and deliver cost efficiencies
•
Completed several innovative and landmark transactions in 2017 that provided efficient financing for the company. These transactions included repricing approximately $5 billion in term loans at industry-leading rates, extending and increasing its revolving credit facility, and setting a new benchmark rate for subordinated aircraft debt in the EETC market
•
On January 25, 2018, declared a dividend of $0.10 per share, to be paid on February 20, 2018, to stockholders of record as of February 6, 2018
Think Forward, Lead Forward
American is committed to re-establishing itself as an industry leader by creating an action-oriented culture that moves quickly to bring products to market, embraces technological change, and quickly seizes upon new opportunities for its network and product. In 2017, American:
•
Announced a $200 million equity stake in China Southern Airlines, leading to a growing codeshare with the largest airline in China
•
Executed an amended and restated trans-Atlantic Joint Business Agreement that extends the term of the agreement with the company’s partners
•
Adopted next-generation technology such as cloud hosting and machine learning to speed time to value
•
Announced a commitment for more than $1.6 billion for improvements of LAX Terminals 4 and 5, setting the stage for American to receive additional gate space, strengthen its Pacific gateway and to be the pre-eminent airline for Los Angeles
•
Built a five-gate expansion at Chicago O’Hare Terminal 3, which is expected to open in April, giving American a new advantage at this key competitive hub
Parker summarized: “As an airline, we will always operate in a just-in-time environment, however, we recognize we must lead for the long term. This means we must be more nimble in our problem solving and in how we innovate and develop the right products, technology, and network both for customers of today and the future. Ultimately, all of this work will produce a company built for the long term, led by a team that thinks long-term, sees the potential of future opportunities, and brings innovative concepts to market quickly and efficiently.”



Guidance and Investor Update
American expects its first-quarter 2018 TRASM to increase approximately 2.0 to 4.0 percent year-over-year, which reflects expected continued improvement in demand for both business and leisure travel. The company also expects its first-quarter 2018 pre-tax margin excluding special items to be between 2.0 and 4.0 percent.3 In addition, based on the guidance issued today and current business conditions, American presently expects its 2018 diluted earnings per share excluding net special items to be between $5.50 and $6.50.3 
For additional financial forecasting detail, please refer to the company’s investor relations update, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 8-K. This filing will be available at aa.com/investorrelations.
Conference Call / Webcast Details
The company will conduct a live audio webcast of its earnings call today at 7:30 a.m. CT, which will be available to the public on a listen-only basis at aa.com/investorrelations. An archive of the webcast will be available on the website through February 25.
Notes
1.
In the fourth quarter, the company recognized $314 million in net special items before the effect of income taxes. Mainline special items principally consisted of a $123 million charge for the $1,000 cash bonus and associated payroll taxes granted to employees in recognition of recent tax reform, $81 million of merger integration expenses, $58 million of fleet restructuring expenses, and a $20 million net charge resulting from fair value adjustments to bankruptcy obligations. Regional special items of $23 million principally consisted of a charge related to the $1,000 cash bonus and associated payroll taxes discussed above for employees at the company’s regional subsidiaries. The company also recognized a nonoperating special charge of $11 million and an income tax net special benefit of $7 million. See the accompanying notes in the Financial Tables section of this press release for further explanation, including a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP financial information.
2.
Share repurchases under the buyback program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades or accelerated share repurchase transactions. Any such repurchases will be made from time to time subject to market and economic conditions, applicable legal requirements and other relevant factors. The program does not obligate the company to repurchase any specific number of shares or continue a dividend for any fixed period, and may be suspended at any time at the company's discretion.
3.
American is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking projections to GAAP as the nature or amount of special items cannot be determined at this time.

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information
American Airlines Group Inc. (the “Company”) sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis.
The tables below present the reconciliations of the following GAAP measures to their non-GAAP measures: 
•
Pre-Tax Income (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Income Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
•
Pre-Tax Margin (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Margin Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
•
Net Income (GAAP measure) to Net Income Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
•
Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share (GAAP measure) to Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
•
Operating Income (GAAP measure) to Operating Income Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude special items allows management an additional tool to better understand the Company’s core operating performance.
Additionally, the tables below present the reconciliations of mainline, regional and total operating costs (GAAP measure) to mainline, regional and total operating costs excluding special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure). Management uses mainline, regional and total operating costs excluding special items and fuel to evaluate the Company’s current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude aircraft fuel and special items allows management an additional tool to better understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance.

FOOTNOTES: 
(1)
The 2017 fourth quarter mainline operating special items totaled a net charge of $280 million, which principally included a $123 million charge for the $1,000 cash bonus and associated payroll taxes granted to mainline employees as of December 31, 2017 in recognition of recent tax reform, $81 million of merger integration expenses, $58 million of fleet restructuring expenses and a $20 million net charge resulting from fair value adjustments to bankruptcy obligations. The 2017 twelve-month period mainline operating special items totaled a net charge of $712 million, which principally included $273 million of merger integration expenses, $232 million of fleet restructuring expenses, a $123 million charge for the $1,000 tax reform employee bonus mentioned above, $46 million for labor contract expenses primarily due to one-time charges to adjust the vacation accruals for pilots and flight attendants as a result of the mid-contract pay rate adjustments effective in the second quarter of 2017 and a $27 million net charge resulting from fair value adjustments to bankruptcy obligations.
The 2016 fourth quarter mainline operating special items totaled a net charge of $259 million, which principally included $119 million of merger integration expenses, $104 million of fleet restructuring expenses and a $47 million net charge resulting from fair value adjustments to bankruptcy obligations. The 2016 twelve-month period mainline operating special items totaled a net charge of $709 million, which principally included $514 million of merger integration expenses, $177 million of fleet restructuring expenses and a $25 million net charge resulting from fair value adjustments to bankruptcy obligations.
Merger integration expenses included costs related to information technology, professional fees, re-branding of aircraft and airport facilities and training. Additionally, the 2016 periods also included merger integration expenses related to alignment of labor union contracts, re-branded uniforms, relocation and severance. Fleet restructuring expenses driven by the merger principally included the acceleration of aircraft depreciation and impairments for aircraft grounded or expected to be grounded earlier than planned.
(2) The 2017 fourth quarter and twelve-month period regional operating special items principally related to the $1,000 cash bonus and associated payroll taxes granted to employees of the Company’s regional subsidiaries as of December 31, 2017 in recognition of recent tax reform. In 2016, regional operating special items principally related to merger integration expenses.
(3) Nonoperating special charges in the 2017 and 2016 fourth quarter and twelve-month periods primarily consisted of costs associated with debt refinancings and extinguishments.
(4) Refer to Form 8-K filed on January 29, 2016 for further discussion of net special items for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2015 and 2014.
(5) In the fourth quarter and twelve-month 2017 periods, income tax special items included a $7 million non-cash benefit to income tax expense to reflect the impact of lower corporate income tax rates on the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from tax reform.

 EX-99.2 3 a8kerexhibit992q4-17.htm EXHIBIT 99.2 Exhibit
aalogoa17.jpg
Exhibit 99.2

Investor Relations Update
January 25, 2018
General Overview
●
Accounting Changes - On January 1, 2018, the company adopted two new Accounting Standard Updates: (ASUs): ASU 2014-9: Revenue from Contracts with Customers (the “New Revenue Standard”) and ASU 2017-07: Retirement Benefits (the “New Retirement Standard”). The Company has recast certain 2017 financial information previously reported in accordance with GAAP in effect as of December 31, 2017 to reflect the adoption of these standards. This recast financial information is included in Exhibit 99.3 to this Form 8-K. All 2018 guidance is based off the recast 2017 financial information.
 
 
●
Revenue - The company expects its first quarter total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) to be up approximately 2.0 to 4.0 percent year-over-year.
 
 
●
Fuel - Based on the January 22, 2018 forward curve, the company expects to pay an average of between $2.07 and $2.12 per gallon of consolidated jet fuel (including taxes) in the first quarter. Forecasted volume and fuel prices are provided in the following pages.
 
 
●
CASM - Consistent with guidance provided in October 2017, consolidated CASM excluding fuel and special items is expected to be up approximately 2.0 percent1 in 2018. First quarter consolidated CASM excluding fuel and special items is expected to be up approximately 4.0 percent1 year-over-year due primarily to salary and benefit increases provided to our team members (including the salary increases given to our pilots and flight attendants, which became effective on April 26, 2017), higher revenue-related expenses, increased rent and landing fees, and higher depreciation and amortization resulting from increased capex. For the remainder of the year, the company’s year-over-year increase in CASM excluding fuel and special items is expected to be smaller each quarter.

The company continues to expect its 2019 and 2020 CASM excluding fuel and special items to be up approximately 1.0 to 2.0 percent in each year.
 
 
●
Capacity - Consistent with previous guidance, 2018 total system capacity is expected to be up 2.5 percent vs. 2017 on a schedule over schedule basis. Actual capacity growth will be slightly higher due to the year-over-year impact of the flight cancellations resulting from two consecutive hurricanes that hit Florida and the Caribbean in September 2017. Growth is driven by utilization (~2.0 pts), expected completion factor (~0.5 pts) and increased gauge (~0.5 pts). Both full year domestic and international capacity is expected to be approximately 3.0 percent higher year-over-year.
 
 
●
Liquidity - As of December 31, 2017, the company had approximately $7.6 billion in total available liquidity, comprised of unrestricted cash and investments of $5.1 billion and $2.5 billion in undrawn revolver capacity. The company also had a restricted cash position of $318 million.
 
 
●
Capital Expenditures - The company expects to spend $3.7 billion in capex in 2018, including $1.9 billion in aircraft and $1.8 billion in non-aircraft capex. The company now expects to spend $2.8 billion in aircraft and $1.8 billion in non-aircraft capex in 2019 and $2.5 billion in aircraft and $1.6 billion in non-aircraft capex in 2020. The company anticipates that the aircraft capex for these years will be financed at approximately 80%.
 
 
●
Taxes - As of December 31, 2017, the company had approximately $10.2 billion of federal net operating losses (NOLs) and $3.5 billion of state NOLs, substantially all of which are expected to be available in 2018 to reduce future federal and state taxable income. The company expects to recognize a provision for income taxes in 2018 at an effective rate of approximately 24 percent, which will be substantially non-cash.
 
 
●
Pre-tax Margin and EPS - Based on the assumptions outlined above, the company expects its first quarter pre-tax margin excluding special items to be approximately 2.0% to 4.0%1. In addition, the company expects to report full year 2018 earnings per diluted share excluding special items between $5.50 and $6.501.
Notes:
1.
The company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking projections to GAAP as the nature or amount of special items cannot be determined at this time.

Financial Update
January 25, 2018
Financial Comments
 
•
All operating expenses are presented on a consolidated basis.
•
First quarter consolidated CASM excluding fuel and special items is expected to be up approximately 4.0 percent in the first quarter. This year-over-year increase is primarily driven by the impact of the company’s mid-contract pay increases to its pilots and flight attendants, which became effective on April 26, 2017, higher revenue-related expenses, increased rent and landing fees, and higher depreciation and amortization resulting from increased capex.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
January 25, 2018
The company sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The table below presents the reconciliations of mainline and regional operating costs (GAAP measure) to mainline and regional operating costs excluding special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure). Management uses mainline and regional operating costs excluding special items and fuel to evaluate the company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. Additionally, special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount. These adjustments to exclude aircraft fuel and special items allow management an additional tool to better understand and analyze the company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance. Additionally, the table below presents the reconciliation of other non-operating expense (GAAP measure) to other non-operating expense excluding special items (non-GAAP measure). Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate the company’s current performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude special items allows management an additional tool to better understand the company’s core performance.

(A)
The adoption of the New Revenue Standard impacted the Company's accounting for outstanding mileage credits earned through travel by AAdvantage loyalty program members. There is no change in accounting for sales of mileage credits to co-brand card or other partners as those are currently reported in accordance with the New Revenue Standard. Previously, the Company used the incremental cost method to account for the portion of its loyalty program liability related to mileage credits earned through travel, which were valued based on the estimated incremental cost of carrying one additional passenger. The New Revenue Standard required the Company to change its policy to the deferred revenue method and apply a relative selling price approach whereby a portion of each passenger ticket sale attributable to mileage credits earned is deferred and recognized in passenger revenue upon future mileage redemption. The value of the earned mileage credits is materially greater under the deferred revenue method than the value attributed to these mileage credits under the incremental cost method. The retrospective application of the New Revenue Standard increased the Company's 2017 operating revenues and pre-tax income by $311 million.
Additionally, the Company increased its loyalty program liability by $6.0 billion and initially increased its deferred tax asset by $2.2 billion, representing the tax effect of the increase to the loyalty program liability. As a result of tax reform enacted in December 2017 that reduced the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%, the Company recognized an $830 million special charge to reduce this deferred tax asset to $1.4 billion at December 31, 2017 (see As Recast 2017 Balance Sheet on page 6).
(B)
The adoption of the New Revenue Standard required that the Company reclassify certain ancillary revenues previously classified and reported as “other revenue” to “passenger revenue” and as applicable to “cargo revenue.” Additionally, the New Revenue Standard required a gross presentation on the face of the Company’s statement of operations for certain revenues and expenses that had previously been presented on a net basis.
(C)
The adoption of the New Retirement Standard required that the Company reclassify all components of its net periodic benefit cost (income), with the exception of service cost, previously classified and reported as operating expenses in "salaries, wages and benefits" to "other nonoperating expense."

Reconciliation of 2017 Financial Measures As Recast to Non-GAAP Financial Measures As Recast
As previously discussed, on January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the New Revenue Standard and the New Retirement Standard. The following table presents certain quarterly and annual 2017 financial measures As Recast and non-GAAP financial measures As Recast.
The Company sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is providing a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures As Recast to their comparable 2017 financial measure As Recast.
The tables below present the reconciliations of the following financial measures As Recast to their non-GAAP measures As Recast:
- Pre-Tax Income As Recast to Pre-Tax Income As Recast Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
- Pre-Tax Margin As Recast to Pre-Tax Margin As Recast Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
- Net Income As Recast to Net Income As Recast Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
- Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share As Recast to Basic and Diluted Earnings Per Share As Recast Excluding Special Items (non-GAAP measure)
Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude special items allows management an additional tool to better understand the Company’s core operating performance.
Additionally, the tables below present the reconciliations of total operating costs As Recast to total operating costs As Recast excluding special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure). Management uses total operating costs excluding special items and fuel to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude aircraft fuel and special items allows management an additional tool to better understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance.

FOOTNOTES: 
(1)
Refer to the Company's fourth quarter 2017 earnings release filed on Exhibit 99.1 included herein for further detail of special items.
(2)
The fourth quarter and full year 2017 income tax special items of $823 million are the result of a non-cash charge to income tax expense to reflect the impact of lower corporate income tax rates on the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities resulting from tax reform. The fourth quarter and full year 2017 income tax special items as previously reported due to the impact of tax reform was a $7 million benefit. The $830 million increase was due to the decrease in the Company's deferred tax asset associated with its loyalty program liability as a result of the reduction in the federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%.

(A)
As previously discussed, the New Revenue Standard required the Company to adopt the deferred revenue method of accounting for outstanding mileage credits earned through travel by AAdvantage loyalty program members. As a result, the Company increased its loyalty program liability by $6.0 billion and recorded a $1.4 billion increase to the deferred tax asset representing the tax effect, including the impact of tax reform, of the increase to the loyalty program liability.
Additionally, the Company currently recognizes change fees at the time the change to the passenger itinerary is processed. Under the New Revenue Standard, change fees are deferred and recognized in passenger revenue when the ticket is flown. The table above reflects a $64 million adjustment to air traffic liability to establish a deferred revenue liability for change fees related to itineraries that have not yet flown.
