Exhibit 99.3
Investor Relations Update
April 21, 2022
General Overview
Capacity - The Company expects its second quarter capacity to be down approximately 6% to 8% versus the second quarter of 2019. Based on current assumptions, the Company now expects its full-year capacity to be down approximately 6% to 8% versus 2019.
Revenue - The Company expects its second quarter total revenue to be approximately 6% to 8% higher versus the second quarter of 2019. The Company expects total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) to be 14% to 16% higher versus the second quarter of 2019.
CASM1 - The Company expects its second quarter total cost per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel and net special items2 to be up between 8% and 10% versus the second quarter of 2019. Based on current capacity plans, the Company expects its full-year CASM excluding fuel and net special items to be up approximately 8% to 10% versus 2019.
Fuel - Based on the April 19, 2022 forward fuel curve, the Company expects to pay an average of between $3.59 and $3.64 per gallon of jet fuel (including taxes) in the second quarter. The Company also expects to consume approximately 1,013 million gallons of jet fuel in the second quarter based on its current capacity plans.
Liquidity - As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $15.5 billion in total available liquidity. The Company’s total liquidity as of that date was comprised of unrestricted cash and investments of $12.5 billion and $2.8 billion of undrawn capacity under revolving credit facilities. The Company also had $220 million in undrawn short-term revolving and other facilities.
Non operating expense - The Company expects its total non operating expense excluding net special items2 to be approximately $345 million in the second quarter.
Taxes - The Company expects to recognize a provision for income taxes at an effective rate of approximately 22% in the second quarter, which will be substantially non-cash.
Shares outstanding - The Company currently expects its basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding3 for financial reporting purposes to be approximately 650.3 million and 721.2 million, respectively, for the second quarter.
Pre-tax margin - Based on the assumptions outlined above, the Company presently expects its second quarter pre-tax margin excluding net special items2 to be approximately 3% to 5%.
Notes:
1.All CASM guidance excludes the impact of fuel and net special items.
2.
The Company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking projections to GAAP as the nature or amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time. Please see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this document.
3.Shares outstanding assumes no additional shares issued through the Company’s existing at the market share issuance authorization or otherwise.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
April 21, 2022
The Company sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the condensed 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 reconciliation of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding fuel and net special items (non-GAAP measure) and total operating costs per ASM (CASM) to CASM excluding fuel and net special items. Management uses total operating costs and CASM excluding fuel and net special items 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, net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount. These adjustments to exclude fuel and net special items allow management an additional tool to understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance.
