NOTE 2 - INCOME TAXES
Income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 and
1998 were provided at the estimated annual effective tax rate.
Such rate differs from the federal statutory rate of 35%, primarily
due to state income taxes and the effect of certain expenses that
are not deductible for income tax purposes.
At December 31, 1998, the Company had estimated net operating
losses ("NOLs") of $1.1 billion for federal income tax purposes
that will expire through 2009 and federal investment tax credit
carryforwards of $45 million that will expire through 2001. As a
result of a change in ownership of the Company on April 27, 1993,
the ultimate utilization of the Company's NOLs and investment tax
credits may be limited. Reflecting this limitation, the Company
recorded a valuation allowance of $263 million as of December 31,
1998.
To the extent the Company were to determine in the future that
additional NOLs of the Company's predecessor could be recognized in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements, such benefit
would reduce routes, gates and slots.
NOTE 3 - COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
The Company includes unrealized gains and losses on available-for-
sale securities, changes in minimum pension liabilities and changes
in the fair value of derivative financial instruments which qualify
for hedge accounting in other comprehensive income. During the
second quarter of 1999 and 1998, total comprehensive income
amounted to $128 and $158 million, respectively. For the six
months ended 1999 and 1998, total comprehensive income amounted to
$240 million and $243 million, respectively. The significant
difference between net income and total comprehensive income during
the first half of 1999 was attributable to the $17 million net
increase in fair value (net of applicable income taxes and hedge
ineffectiveness) related to petroleum swap contracts and call
options held by the Company as of June 30, 1999 to hedge a portion
of anticipated jet fuel purchases through October 1999.
NOTE 4 - CUMULATIVE EFFECT OF A CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
Continental adopted Statement of Position 98-5, "Reporting on the
Costs of Start-Up Activities ("SOP 98-5)") in the first quarter of
1999. SOP 98-5 amended Statement of Position 88-1, "Accounting for
Developmental and Preoperating Costs, Purchases and Exchanges of
Take-Off and Landing Slots, and Airframe Modifications" by
requiring preoperating costs related to the integration of new
types of aircraft to be expensed as incurred and requiring all
unamortized start-up costs (e.g., pilot training costs related to
induction of new aircraft) to be expensed upon adoption. This
resulted in the Company recording a $6 million cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle, net of tax, in the first quarter
of 1999.
NOTE 5 - PREFERRED SECURITIES OF TRUST
In December 1998, the Company called for redemption its remaining
8-1/2% Convertible Trust Originated Preferred Securities ("TOPrS")
then outstanding. As a result, the remaining 2,298,327 TOPrS were
converted into 4,752,522 shares of Class B common stock during
January 1999.
NOTE 6 - 6-3/4% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2006
On April 15, 1999, the Company exercised its right and called for
redemption on May 25, 1999, all $230 million of its 6-3/4%
Convertible Subordinated Notes due 2006. The notes were converted
into 7,617,120 shares of Class B common stock during May 1999.
NOTE 7 - REGULATORY MATTERS
The Company recently received approval from the Port Authority of
New York and New Jersey for a major facility expansion at Newark
International Airport ("Newark"). Major construction is scheduled
to begin in August 1999 and to be completed in 2002.
As more fully described in the Risk Factors section of the
Company's 1998 10-K, airlines are subject to extensive regulatory
and legal compliance requirements that engender significant costs
and in some cases reduce revenue. For instance, "passenger bill of
rights" legislation has been introduced in Congress that would,
among other things, require the payment of compensation to
passengers as a result of certain delays, and limit the ability of
carriers to prohibit or restrict usage of certain tickets in
manners currently prohibited or restricted. The Department of
Transportation (the "DOT") has proposed rules that would
significantly limit major carriers' ability to compete with new
entrant carriers. If adopted, these measures could have the effect
of raising ticket prices, reducing revenue and increasing costs.
The Federal Aviation Administration has designated John F. Kennedy
International Airport ("John F. Kennedy"), New York LaGuardia
Airport ("LaGuardia"), Chicago O'Hare International Airport
("O'Hare") and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in
Washington, D.C. ("Reagan National") as "high density traffic
airports" and has limited the number of departure and arrival slots
at those airports. Currently, such slots may be voluntarily sold
or transferred between carriers. The DOT has in the past
reallocated slots to other carriers and reserves the right to
withdraw slots. Various amendments to the slot system proposed
from time to time could, if adopted, significantly affect
operations at high density traffic airports, significantly change
the value of the slots, grant slots to other carriers or for route
or aircraft specific usage, expand slots to other airports or
eliminate slots entirely. The DOT has proposed the elimination of
slot restrictions at high density airports other than Reagan
National. Legislation containing a similar proposal which could
eliminate slots as early as 2002 at O'Hare and 2007 at LaGuardia
and John F. Kennedy, and which doubles the maximum passenger
facilities charges permitted to be charged by airport authorities,
has passed the full House of Representatives. The Company cannot
predict whether any of these proposals will be adopted. However,
if legislation or regulation eliminating slots is adopted, the
value of such slots could be deemed to be permanently impaired,
resulting in a loss being charged to earnings for the relevant
period. Moreover, the elimination of slots could have an adverse
effect upon future results of operations of the Company.
NOTE 8 - OTHER
On January 5, 1999, the Company's mechanics ratified an initial
three-year collective bargaining agreement between the Company and
the International Brotherhood of Teamsters ("IBT"). The contract
becomes amendable in January 2002.
In February 1999, the Company completed an offering of $806 million
of pass-through certificates to be used to finance (either through
leveraged leases or secured debt financings) the debt portion of
the acquisition cost of 22 aircraft scheduled to be delivered from
March 1999 through September 1999.
The Company holds a membership interest in The SITA Foundation
("SITA"), an organization providing data communication services to
the airline industry. SITA's primary asset is an ownership
interest in Equant N.V. ("Equant"). In February 1999, SITA sold a
portion of its Equant interest in a secondary public offering and
distributed the pro rata proceeds to certain of its members
(including Continental) that elected to participate in the
offering. Continental recorded a gain of $20 million ($12 million
after tax) related to this transaction. The gain is included in
other nonoperating income (expense) in the accompanying
consolidated statement of operations.
In March 1999, the Company obtained a $160 million Credit Facility,
with a maturity date of March 2001, to finance pre-delivery
deposits for certain new Boeing aircraft to be delivered between
March 1999 and March 2002.
On April 15, 1999, the Company announced a $500 million increase in
the size of its common stock repurchase program, bringing the total
size of the program to $800 million. As of July 16, 1999, the
Company had repurchased 9,812,200 shares of Class B common stock
for $437 million.
In May 1999, the Company completed an offering of $742 million of
pass-through certificates to be used to finance (through either
leveraged leases or secured debt financings) the debt portion of
the acquisition cost of 21 new Boeing aircraft scheduled for
delivery from July 1999 to December 1999.
In July 1999, a tentative initial agreement was reached between
Continental Express, Inc. ("Express"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
the Company, and the IBT, which represents Express's mechanics.
The IBT will now present the tentative agreement to the covered
employees for ratification, a process that is expected to be
completed by mid-August 1999. If ratified, the agreement will
become amendable in January 2003.
During the three months ended June 30, 1999, the Company recognized
approximately a $36 million gain on its fuel hedging program. The
gain is included in fuel expense in the accompanying consolidated
statement of operations.
