UAL Corporation and Subsidiary Companies
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
------------------------------------------------------
The Company
- -----------
UAL Corporation ("UAL") is a holding company whose
principal subsidiary is United Air Lines, Inc. ("United").
Interim Financial Statements
- ----------------------------
The consolidated financial statements included herein have
been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to or as
permitted by such rules and regulations, although UAL believes
that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. In management's opinion, all
adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments)
necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations
for the three month periods have been made. These financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in UAL's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year 1998.
Employee Stock Ownership Plans
- ------------------------------
Pursuant to amended labor agreements which provide for
wage and benefit reductions and work-rule changes which
commenced July 1994, UAL has agreed to issue convertible
preferred stock to employees. Note 2 of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements in the 1998 Annual Report on
Form 10-K contains additional discussion of the agreements,
stock to be issued to employees and the related accounting
treatment. Shares earned in 1998 were allocated in March 1999
as follows: 123,841 shares of Class 2 ESOP Preferred Stock were
contributed to the Non-Leveraged ESOP and an additional 615,757
shares were allocated in "book entry" form under the
Supplemental Plan. Also, 2,334,370 shares of Class 1 ESOP
Preferred Stock were allocated under the Leveraged ESOP.
Finally, an additional 768,493 shares of Class 1 and Class 2
ESOP Preferred Stock have been committed to be released by the
Company since January 1, 1999.
Income Taxes
- ------------
The provisions for income taxes are based on the
estimated annual effective tax rate, which differs from the
federal statutory rate of 35% principally due to state income
taxes, dividends on ESOP Preferred Stock and certain
nondeductible items.
Per Share Amounts
- -----------------
Basic earnings per share were computed by dividing net
income available to common stockholders by the weighted average
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. In
addition, diluted earnings per share amounts include potential
common shares including ESOP shares committed to be released.

Investments in Affiliates
- -------------------------
United owns 33,440,000 common shares, approximately 32
percent, of Galileo International ("Galileo") through a wholly
owned subsidiary. Galileo is one of the world's leading
providers of electronic global distribution services for the
travel industry. United intends to sell approximately 17,500,000
common shares of Galileo in a secondary offering that Galileo
has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
United's ability to sell the shares is subject to various
conditions including the underwriters' ability to reduce the
number of shares to be sold in certain circumstances. This
potential sale would reduce United's holdings in Galileo to 15
percent, requiring United to discontinue the equity method of
accounting for its investment in Galileo. Equity earnings in
Galileo were $23 million and $20 million for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively.
United owns approximately 2.2 million depository certificates
in Equant, a provider of international data network services to
multinational businesses and a single source for global desktop
communications. Each depository certificate represents a
beneficial interest in an Equant common share. These depository
certificates are currently subject to certain transferability
restrictions and are carried at their original cost, which is
nominal. At March 31, 1999, the fair value of United's
investment in Equant is approximately $165 million. Certain of
United's depository certificates are subject to a final
reallocation, however, United does not believe that the number of
depository certificates that it owns will significantly change
after the final reallocation.
Internet Travel Network (ITN) is a leading provider of
internet-based travel planning products tailored to individual,
corporate, travel supplier and travel agency customers. United
has a minority interest in ITN consisting of convertible preferred
stock, warrants and options. United's convertible preferred stock
can be converted into an approximate 25% interest in ITN common stock.
This ownership level can increase to 30% if all options and
warrants are exercised.
Contingencies and Commitments
- -----------------------------
UAL has certain contingencies resulting from litigation
and claims (including environmental issues) incident to the
ordinary course of business. Management believes, after
considering a number of factors, including (but not limited to)
the views of legal counsel, the nature of contingencies to which
UAL is subject and its prior experience, that the ultimate
disposition of these contingencies is not expected to materially
affect UAL's consolidated financial position or results of
operations.
At March 31, 1999, commitments for the purchase of
property and equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $7.0
billion, after deducting advance payments. An estimated $2.8
billion will be spent during the remainder of 1999, $1.9 billion
in 2000, $1.9 billion in 2001 and $0.4 billion in 2002 and
thereafter. The major commitments are for the purchase of B777,
B747, B767, B757, A320 and A319 aircraft, which are scheduled to
be delivered through 2002.
Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ------------------------------------------------------------
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
UAL's total of cash and cash equivalents and short-term
investments was $639 million at March 31, 1999, compared to $815
million at December 31, 1998. Cash flows from operating
activities amounted to $712 million. Financing activities
included principal payments under debt and capital lease
obligations of $271 million and $113 million, respectively, and
$30 million in aircraft lease deposits. Additionally, the Company
issued $286 million in long-term debt during the period to finance
the acquisition of aircraft.
Property additions, including aircraft and aircraft spare
parts, amounted to $658 million. Property dispositions resulted
in proceeds of $113 million. In the first quarter of 1999,
United took delivery of one A320, six A319, two B777, two B757,
three B747 and one B767 aircraft. Five of the aircraft were
purchased and ten were acquired under capital leases. In
addition, United acquired two B727 aircraft off-lease during the
first quarter and retired four DC10-10 and three B747 aircraft.
United has certain non-core investments in publicly traded
companies with market values substantially in excess of their
carrying values. It is United's policy to monetize its
non-core investments. In furtherance of this strategy, United
announced its intention to sell up to 17.5 million shares of
common stock in Galileo in a secondary offering by Galileo. The
potential proceeds from this sale will be used to achieve
United's financial goals which include investing in its core
business, improving its creditworthiness and returning cash to
shareholders.
At March 31, 1999, commitments for the purchase of
property and equipment, principally aircraft, approximated $7.0
billion, after deducting advance payments. Of this amount, an
estimated $2.8 billion is expected to be spent during the
remainder of 1999. For further details, see "Contingencies and
Commitments" in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
Summary of Results
------------------
UAL's earnings from operations were $146 million in the
first quarter of 1999, compared to operating earnings of $123
million in the first quarter of 1998. UAL had net earnings in
the 1999 first quarter of $78 million ($0.44 per share,
diluted), compared to net earnings of $61 million in the same
period of 1998 ($0.34 per share, diluted).
Management believes that a more complete understanding of
UAL's results may be gained by viewing them on a pro forma,
"Fully Distributed" basis. This approach considers all ESOP
shares which will ultimately be distributed to employees
throughout the ESOP (rather than just the shares committed to be
released) to be immediately outstanding and thus Fully
Distributed. Consistent with this method, the ESOP compensation
expense is excluded from Fully Distributed net earnings and ESOP
convertible preferred stock dividends are not deducted from
earnings attributable to common stockholders. A comparison of
results reported on a Fully Distributed basis to results reported
under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) is as
follows:
March 31, 1999 March 31, 1998
-------------- --------------
GAAP Fully GAAP Fully
(diluted) Distributed (diluted) Distributed
--------- ----------- --------- -----------
Net Income $ 78 $ 187 $ 61 $ 218
Per Share $0.44 $1.54 $0.34 $1.68
The current relationship of earnings and earnings per share
as computed on a GAAP basis versus a Fully Distributed basis may
not be representative of the relationship in future periods
because of various factors. These factors include, but are not
limited to, the dependence of ESOP compensation expense on the
common stock price; trends and commitments with respect to wages;
and the convergence of shares assumed outstanding under the GAAP
basis as compared to the Fully Distributed basis.
Specific factors affecting UAL's consolidated operations
for the first quarter of 1999 are described below.
First Quarter 1999 Compared with First Quarter 1998.
---------------------------------------------------
Operating revenues increased $105 million (3%) and
United's revenue per available seat mile (unit revenue)
decreased 0.1% to 9.82 cents. Passenger revenues increased $115
million (3%) due to a 5% increase in United's revenue passenger
miles partially offset by a 2% decrease in yield to 12.54
cents. Available seat miles across the system were up 2% over
the first quarter of 1998, resulting in a passenger load factor
increase of 1.7 points to 68.9%. The following analysis by
market is based on information reported to the U.S. Department
of Transportation:
Increase (Decrease)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Available Seat Revenue Passenger Miles Revenue Per Revenue
Miles(Capacity) (Traffic) Passenger Mile(Yield)
--------------- ----------------------- ---------------------
Domestic 5% 6% -%
Pacific (10%) (3%) (7%)
Atlantic 17% 17% (6%)
Latin America (1%) (1%) (7%)
The pilot action at American Airlines resulted in
additional revenues of $45 million for the quarter. Domestic
unit revenues increased 2% from last year as load factor was 1.2
points higher and yield was flat. Atlantic unit revenues were
down 5% from last year, with yields being down 6% from last year
due to excess industry capacity that impacted the pricing in the
market. Pacific unit revenues were relatively flat year over
year.
Cargo revenues decreased $7 million (3%). A 1% lower
freight yield and a 5% lower mail yield resulted in a decrease
in cargo yield of 3%.
Operating expenses increased $82 million (2%) and United's
cost per available seat mile decreased slightly, from 9.52 cents
to 9.49 cents, including ESOP compensation expense. Without the
ESOP compensation expense, United's cost per available seat mile
would have been 9.06 cents, an increase of 2% from the 1998
first quarter. ESOP compensation expense decreased $76 million
(29%), reflecting the decrease in the estimated average fair
value of ESOP stock committed to be released to employees as a
result of UAL's lower common stock price. Aircraft maintenance
increased $22 million (14%) due primarily to an increase in
purchased maintenance as a result of increased heavy maintenance
visits. Purchased services increased $42 million (12%) due
principally to increased computer reservations fees and Y2K
expenses. Depreciation and amortization increased $20 million
(10%) due to an increase in the number of owned aircraft and
aircraft under capital lease. Salaries and related costs
increased $100 million (8%) due to mid-term wage adjustments
which took place in July 1998 and to increased staffing in
certain customer contact positions. Aircraft fuel decreased $46
million (10%) due to a 12% decrease in the cost of fuel from
61.7 cents to 54.4 cents a gallon. Commissions decreased $34
million (11%) due to a change in the commission structure
implemented in the third quarter of 1998 as well as a slight
decrease in commissionable revenues. Aircraft rent decreased
$14 million (6%) due to the aircraft refinancing completed in
the first quarter of 1998.
Other non-operating expense amounted to $23 million in the
first quarter of 1999 compared to $27 million in the first
quarter of 1998. Interest expense increased $12 million (15%)
due to the issuance of long-term debt. Miscellaneous, net
includes $14 million in gains on written yen call options and $7
million of other foreign exchange gains in 1999 compared to $4
million of other foreign exchange losses in 1998.
LABOR AGREEMENTS
- ----------------
On April 23, 1999, United announced a tentative agreement
with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace
Workers ("IAM") for a contract for 19,000 public contact
employees (primarily customer service and reservations sales and
service representatives). The agreement is subject to
ratification by the affected employees. Management does not
anticipate that this agreement will have a material impact on
the unit cost guidance provided in the "Outlook for 1999"
section.*
UPDATE ON YEAR 2000 READINESS
- -----------------------------
Readers should refer to "Update on Year 2000 Readiness" in
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations in the 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K for
background information.
United continues to make steady progress in its Year 2000
remediation program. As discussed below, remediation, testing
and system integration testing of all major systems will be
substantially complete by June 30, 1999.
IT systems. The Company has substantially completed the
remediation and initial system testing of mainframe hardware and
software and other hardware infrastructure including voice and
data networks. In addition, substantially all internally
developed IT software applications have been remediated and
tested.
System integration testing for the mission critical IT
systems is on schedule to be completed by June 30, 1999, while
for all other systems, integration testing will be substantially
complete by June 30, 1999.
Non IT systems. The remediation and testing phase of date-
sensitive, critical non-IT systems is proceeding on schedule and
will be substantially complete by June 30, 1999.
Critical Business Partners. The Company has contacted
substantially all of its Critical Business Partners. For those
partners not having a Year 2000 program in place with a planned
completion date of June 30, 1999, the Company may look for
alternate suppliers.
The results of the study undertaken by the Air Transport
Association ("ATA") to determine the process domestic airports
are using to achieve Year 2000 readiness, shows that most large
domestic airports have made substantial progress towards being
Year 2000 ready. A similar project undertaken by the
International Air Transport Association ("IATA") shows that
although most international airports have made progress during
the past few months, certain key airports are behind schedule.
The Company's aircraft manufacturers have concluded that
there are no safety of flight issues related to the Year 2000
date rollover as to their aircraft.
Concurrent with ensuring that all the systems will be
remediated and tested for the Year 2000 date rollover, the
Company is developing contingency plans for all the systems that
are critical to its operations. These contingency plans are
expected to be completed by June 30, 1999. These contingency
plans, together with the airline readiness reviews planned during
the second quarter of 1999, are designed to reduce the likelihood
that the Company's operations will be interrupted by Year 2000
related issues.
The Company anticipates that project costs will range
between $85 and $90 million, with 35% being capitalized. To date
the Company has incurred $41 million in project costs ($31
million in expense and $10 million in capital). During the 1999
first quarter the Company incurred $13 million in project costs
($8 million in expense and $5 million in capital).
Readers are cautioned that the "Update on Year 2000
Readiness" section contains forward-looking information. Please
see "Outlook for 1999" for a list of some of the factors that could
cause actual results to differ materially from expected results.*
OUTLOOK FOR 1999
- ----------------
The Company anticipates continued strong performance in 1999
largely based on expected strong U.S. economic activity. In
addition, there are some modest improvements in United's Pacific
revenue and profit performance. These factors are expected to
outweigh the anticipated negative impact on Atlantic unit revenues
associated with industry capacity growth in the region.
The Company expects its 1999 system capacity to grow 3%,
which is less than the forecasted industry capacity growth rate.
Unit revenues are estimated to range between 1% and 2% higher
than 1998.
1999 unit costs excluding ESOP charge are estimated to range
between 2% and 2.5% higher than 1998, based on an average fuel price
of approximately 60 cents per gallon including taxes. Among the
factors affecting costs will be the cap in international commissions
instituted last year and the level of spending on Year 2000 (see
"Update on Year 2000 Readiness").
The following guidance pertaining to fully distributed earnings
per share is consistent with the corresponding guidance set forth
in UAL's 1998 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Company forecasts 1999
earnings to range between $10.00 and $12.00 per fully distributed
share, with its internal goal being to earn $11.00 per fully
distributed share. The forecasted range of fully distributed
earnings per share excludes any impact of UAL's intention to sell
up to 17.5 million shares of Galileo. The Company's earnings per
share performance will be helped by the reduction in share count
stemming from the $500 million common stock repurchase program
completed earlier this year.
The Company anticipates that the fundamental revenue
trends underlying United's first-quarter performance will
continue into the second quarter. The rate of unit cost
increases is expected to moderate in the second quarter.
Based on these assumptions, the Company expects second-
quarter earnings per share to fall in the range of last year's
record second-quarter earnings per share, on a fully distributed
basis.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations contains sections with forward-looking
statements which are identified with an asterisk(*). Information
included in those sections and the "Outlook for 1999" paragraphs
is forward-looking and actual results could differ materially from
expected results. Factors that could significantly impact expected
capacity, international revenues and profits, unit revenues,
fully distributed unit costs, fuel prices and fully distributed
earnings per share include: industry capacity decisions, the
airline pricing environment, fuel prices, the success of the
Company's cost-control efforts, the impact of the new labor
agreement with the IAM, actions of the U.S., foreign and local
governments, willingness of customers to travel, the Asian
economic environment and travel patterns, foreign currency
exchange rate fluctuations, UAL common stock price fluctuations,
the economic environment of the airline industry and the general
economic environment. Some factors that could significantly
impact the Company's expected Year 2000 readiness and the
estimated cost thereof include: the results of the technical
assessment, remediation and testing of date-sensitive systems and
equipment and the ability of critical business partners,
including domestic and international airport authorities,
aircraft manufacturers and the Federal Aviation Administration,
to achieve Year 2000 readiness.

Pa = Airframe Price Adjustment.
L = .65 x ECI
---
130.1
M = .35 x ICI

ECI = A value using the "Employment Cost Index for workers
in aerospace manufacturing" (aircraft manufacturing,
standard industrial classification code 3721,
compensation, base month and year June 1989 = 100),
as released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
Department of Labor on a quarterly basis for the
months of March, June, September and December,
calculated as follows: A three-month arithmetic
average value (expressed as a decimal and rounded to
the nearest tenth) will be determined using the
months set forth in the table below for the
applicable Aircraft, with the released Employment
Cost Index value described above for the month of
March also being used for the months of January and
February; the value for June also used for April and
May; the value for September also used for July and
August; and the value for December also used for
October and November.
P.A. No. 1663 D-1-1 SA8
Attachment 1 to Supplemental Agreement No. 8.
ICI = The three-month arithmetic average of the released
monthly values for the Industrial Commodities Index
as set forth in the "Producer Prices and Price
Index" (Base Year 1982 = 100) as released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor
values (expressed as a decimal and rounded to the
nearest tenth) for the months set forth in the table
below for the applicable Aircraft.
In determining the value of L, the ratio of ECI divided by
130.1 will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth and then multiplied by .65 with the resulting
value also expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth.
In determining the value of M, the ratio of ICI divided by
123.6 will be expressed as a decimal rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth and then multiplied by .35 with the resulting
value also expressed as a decimal and rounded to the nearest
ten-thousandth.

scheduled month of delivery as set forth in Article
2.1 occurs.
D = The calendar year during which the scheduled month
of delivery as set forth in Article 2.1 occurs.
2. If at the time of delivery of an Aircraft Boeing is unable
to determine the Airframe Price Adjustment because the applicable
values to be used to determine the ECI and ICI have not been
released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, then:
P.A. No. 1663 D-1-2 SA8
Attachment 1 to Supplement Agreement No. 8
2.1 The Airframe Price Adjustment, to be used at the
time of delivery of each of the Aircraft, will be determined by
utilizing the escalation provisions set forth above. The values
released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to
Boeing 30 days prior to scheduled Aircraft delivery will be used
to determine the ECI and ICI values for the applicable months
(including those noted as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics) to calculate the Airframe Price Adjustment. If no
values have been released for an applicable month, the provisions
set forth in Paragraph 2.2 below will apply. If prior to
delivery of an Aircraft the U.S. Department of Labor changes the
base year for determination of the ECI or ICI values as defined
above, such rebased values will be incorporated in the Airframe
Price Adjustment calculation. The payment by Buyer to Boeing of
the amount of the Purchase Price for such Aircraft, as determined
at the time of Aircraft delivery, will be deemed to be the
payment for such Aircraft required at the delivery thereof.
2.2 If prior to delivery of an Aircraft the U.S.
Department of Labor substantially revises the methodology used
for the determination of the values to be used to determine the
ECI and ICI values (in contrast to benchmark adjustments or other
corrections of previously released values), or for any reason has
not released values needed to determine the applicable Aircraft
Airframe Price Adjustment, the parties will, prior to delivery of
any such Aircraft, select a substitute for such values from data
published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics or other similar data
reported by non-governmental United States organizations, such
substitute to lead in application to the same adjustment result,
insofar as possible, as would have been achieved by continuing
the use of the original values as they may have fluctuated during
the applicable time period. Appropriate revision of the formula
will be made as required to reflect any substitute values.
However, if within 24 months from delivery of the Aircraft the
Bureau of Labor Statistics should resume releasing values for the
months needed to determine the Airframe Price Adjustment, such
values will be used to determine any increase or decrease in the
Airframe Price Adjustment for the Aircraft from that determined
at the time of delivery of such Aircraft.
2.3 In the event escalation provisions are made
non-enforceable or otherwise rendered null and void by any agency
of the United States Government, the parties agree, to the extent
they may lawfully do so, to equitably adjust the Purchase Price
of any affected Aircraft to reflect an allowance for increases or
decreases in labor compensation and material costs occurring
since February, 1995, which is consistent with the applicable
provisions of paragraph 1 of this Exhibit D-1.
3. For the calculations herein, the values released by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics and available to Boeing 30 days prior
to scheduled Aircraft delivery will be used to determine the ECI
and ICI values for the applicable months (including those noted
as preliminary by the Bureau of Labor Statistics) to calculate
the Airframe Price Adjustment.
Note: Any rounding of a number, as required under this
Exhibit D-1 with respect to escalation of the airframe
price, will be accomplished as follows: if the first
digit of the portion to be dropped from the number to
be rounded is five or greater, the preceding digit will
be raised to the next higher number.
