EXHIBIT 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED

CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements of Continental Airlines, Inc. are derived from the application of pro forma adjustments to our historical financial statements:

The total net proceeds from the planned initial public offering are not currently known. Consequently, that portion of the total net proceeds in excess of the amount to be used to retire at least $150 million of debt described above is not reflected in any of the following pro forma information.

The pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred if the transactions had been consummated at the assumed dates, nor is it necessarily indicative of future results of operations.

These unaudited pro forma consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited historical financial statements and the related notes thereto, and the other information about our company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Notes to Pro Forma Consolidated Condensed Statements of Operations:

  1. As adjusted amounts, reflect the removal of the historical consolidated financial results of Holdings and its wholly owned subsidiary, Express, as a result of the planned initial public offering and spin-off.
  2. Reflects the restatement of revenues from the historical revenue sharing arrangement between Continental Airlines and Express, which was based on a proration formula, to a fixed-fee capacity purchase arrangement whereby Continental Airlines pays fixed rates for each scheduled block hour of flight by aircraft operated by Express. These rates vary depending on the average length of Express's scheduled flights, Express's aggregate number of flights and the type of aircraft provided, and are otherwise subject to certain adjustments. The fixed rates used to determine the 2000 pro forma revenue were based on historical and expected operating costs, which had been set to provide Express with the capacity purchase arrangement's targeted margin on earnings before interest and taxes. Adjustments to expenses reflect the reclassification of certain items associated with Express's operations to revenue where the capacity purchase expenses are recorded. All amounts associated with the capacity p urchase arrangement including the fixed fee payments, the revenue associated with passengers traveling a portion of their trip on Express and the expenses associated with these passengers are reflected together in revenue.
  3. Reflects the adjustment to profit sharing expense based on the pro forma, as adjusted income.
  4. Reflects the reduction in interest expense associated with the $150 million reduction in debt and additional interest income associated with the receivable from Express.
  5. Reflects the income tax effects of the pro forma adjustments.
