Non - GAAP Financial Measures 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 table below shows a reconciliation of the non - GAAP financial measure used in this update to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. The reconciliation may not calculate due to rounding. Delta is not able to reconcile certain forward looking non - GAAP financial measures without unreasonable effort because the adjusting items such as those used in the reconciliations below will not be known until the end of the indicated future perio ds and could be significant. Non - GAAP Reconciliations

 
 

 

Adjustments. This reconciliation includes certain adjustments to GAAP measures for the following items, if applicable, for the reasons indicated below: 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 better understand and analyze our non - fuel costs and year - over - year financial performance. 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. 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. Three Months Ended (in cents) December 31, 2019 CASM 15.34 Aircraft fuel and related taxes (3.08) Profit Sharing (0.59) Delta Private Jets adjustment (0.07) 11.59 CASM-Ex Adjusted for: Non-Fuel Unit Cost or Cost per Available Seat Mile, adjusted ("CASM-Ex")
