Note Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

Certain of the statements contained in this report should be considered forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “plan,” “project,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “continue,” “seek,” “target,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “if current trends continue,” “optimistic,” “forecast” and other similar words. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations, intentions, estimates and strategies for the future, and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based on our current objectives, beliefs and expectations, and they are subject to significant risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results and financial position and timing of certain events to differ materially from the information in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to:

•downturns in economic conditions could adversely affect our business;

•we will need to obtain sufficient financing or other capital to operate successfully;

•our high level of debt and other obligations may limit our ability to fund general corporate requirements and obtain additional financing, may limit our flexibility in responding to competitive developments and may cause our business to be vulnerable to adverse economic and industry conditions;

•if our financial condition worsens, provisions in our credit card processing and other commercial agreements may adversely affect our liquidity;

•the loss of key personnel whom we depend on to operate our business, or the inability to attract, develop and retain additional qualified personnel could adversely affect our business;

•our business has been and will continue to be materially affected by many changing economic, geopolitical, commercial, regulatory and other conditions beyond our control, including global events that affect travel behavior;

•the airline industry is intensely competitive and dynamic;

•union disputes, employee strikes and other labor-related disruptions may adversely affect our operations and financial performance;

•if we encounter problems with any of our third-party regional operators or third-party service providers, our operations could be adversely affected by a resulting decline in revenue or negative public perception about our services;

•any damage to our reputation or brand image could adversely affect our business or financial results;

•risks of losses and adverse publicity from any public incidents involving our company, people or brand;

•changes to our business model that are designed to increase revenues and reduce costs may not be successful and may cause operational difficulties or decreased demand;

•our intellectual property rights, particularly our branding rights, are valuable, and any inability to protect them may adversely affect our business and financial results;

•we may be a party to litigation in the normal course of business or otherwise, which could affect our financial position and liquidity;

•we rely heavily on technology and automated systems, including artificial intelligence, to operate our business, and any failures could harm our business, results of operations and financial condition;

•we are exposed to risks from cyberattacks, and any cybersecurity incidents involving us, our third-party service providers, or one of our AAdvantage partners or other business partners;

•we have a significant amount of goodwill, which is assessed for impairment at least annually. We may never realize the full value of our intangible or long-lived assets, causing us to record material impairment charges;

•the commercial relationships that we have with other companies, including any related equity investments, may not produce the returns or results we expect;

•our business is very dependent on the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Continued periods of high volatility in fuel costs, increased fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel could have a significant negative impact on consumer demand, our operating results and liquidity;

•our business is subject to extensive government regulation;

•we can be adversely affected by any prolonged partial or full U.S. Government shutdown;

•we operate a global business with international operations that are subject to economic and political instability and have been, and in the future may continue to be, adversely affected by numerous events, circumstances or government actions beyond our control;

•we may be adversely affected by conflicts overseas, terrorist attacks or other acts of violence, domestically or abroad; the travel industry continues to face ongoing security concerns;

•we are subject to risks associated with climate change, including increased regulation of our greenhouse gas emissions, changing consumer preferences and the potential for increased impacts of severe weather events on our operations and infrastructure;

•we are subject to various risks associated with environmental and social matters, and many forms of environmental and noise regulation;

•a shortage of pilots or other personnel could materially adversely affect our business;

•we depend on a limited number of suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines and parts.

•we rely on third-party distribution channels and must effectively manage the costs, rights and functionality of these channels;

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of American Airlines Group Inc. (we, us, our and similar terms, or AAG) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AAG and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. AAG’s principal subsidiary is American Airlines, Inc. (American). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Management believes that all adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of results, consisting of normally recurring items, have been included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant areas of judgment relate to passenger revenue recognition, the loyalty program, deferred tax assets, as well as pension and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits.

2. Special Items, Net

Special items, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations consisted of the following (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Litigation reserve adjustments	$	12	$	30
Labor contract expenses (1)	2		31

Other operating special items, net	—		9
Mainline operating special items, net	14		70







Mark-to-market adjustments on equity investments, net (2)	72		29
Debt refinancing and extinguishment	54		19
Other nonoperating special items, net	9		—
Nonoperating special items, net	135		48

(1)Labor contract expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 included a one-time charge resulting from adjustments to vacation accruals due to pay rate increases effective January 1, 2025, following the ratification of the contract extension in the fourth quarter of 2024 with our mainline maintenance and fleet service team members.

(2)Mark-to-market adjustments on equity investments, net included unrealized gains and losses associated with certain equity investments.

3. Loss Per Common Share

The following table provides the computation of basic and diluted loss per common share (EPS) (in millions, except share and per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Basic and diluted EPS:
Net loss	$	(382)	$	(473)
Weighted average common shares outstanding (in thousands)	661,181		658,880
Basic and diluted EPS	$	(0.58)	$	(0.72)

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC.

(Unaudited)

The following were excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026	2025
Restricted stock unit awards	1,625	1,836
6.50% convertible senior notes (1)	—	61,728

(1)On March 27, 2025, we provided notice to the holders of our 6.50% convertible senior notes due 2025 (Convertible Notes) that we would settle our Convertible Notes at their maturity in cash on July 1, 2025. As a result, we have excluded the Convertible Notes from the calculation of diluted EPS for the quarterly periods ended after March 31, 2025.

In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2026, excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS because inclusion of such shares would be antidilutive, are certain shares underlying the warrants issued pursuant to the payroll support program established under the Subtitle A of Title IV of Division N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (PSP2 Warrants) and the payroll support program established under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (PSP3 Warrants).

During the first three months of 2026, 2.8 million shares of PSP2 Warrants were exercised at an exercise price of $15.66 per share and net settled in cash for a nominal amount, reflected within other financing activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. Additionally, 2.9 million shares of PSP2 Warrants expired during the first quarter of 2026.

The table below provides a summary of the warrants outstanding as of March 31, 2026:

Each warrant is exercisable either through net share settlement or cash, at our option. The warrants were issued solely as compensation to the U.S. Government related to entry into the payroll support program agreements. No separate proceeds (apart from the financial assistance previously received in 2021) were received upon issuance of the warrants or will be received upon exercise thereof.

4. Revenue Recognition

Revenue

The following are the significant categories comprising our operating revenues (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Passenger revenue:
Passenger travel	$	11,515	$	10,475
Loyalty revenue - travel (1)	980		916
Total passenger revenue	12,495		11,391
Cargo	214		189
Other:
Loyalty revenue - marketing services	1,027		823
Other revenue	176		148
Total other revenue	1,203		971
Total operating revenues	$	13,912	$	12,551

(1)Loyalty revenue included in passenger revenue is principally comprised of mileage credit redemptions, which were earned from travel or co-branded credit card and other partners.

The following is our total passenger revenue by geographic region (in millions):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2026		2025
Domestic	$	8,990	$	8,127
Latin America	1,963		1,906
Atlantic	1,102		965
Pacific	440		393
Total passenger revenue	$	12,495	$	11,391

We attribute passenger revenue by geographic region based upon the origin and destination of each flight segment.

Contract Balances

Our significant contract liabilities are comprised of (1) outstanding loyalty program mileage credits that may be redeemed for future air travel, non-air travel and other awards, reported as loyalty program liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets; and (2) ticket sales for transportation that has not yet been provided, reported as air traffic liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
	(In millions)
Loyalty program liability	$	11,586	$	10,564
Air traffic liability	10,031		7,158
Total	$	21,617	$	17,722

Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AMERICAN AIRLINES GROUP INC.

(Unaudited)

The balance of the loyalty program liability fluctuates based on seasonal patterns, which impact the volume of mileage credits issued through travel or sold to co-branded credit card and other partners (deferral of revenue) and mileage credits redeemed (recognition of revenue). Changes in loyalty program liability are as follows (in millions):


Balance at December 31, 2025	$	10,564
Deferral of revenue	2,020
Recognition of revenue (1)	(998)
Balance at March 31, 2026 (2)	$	11,586

(1)Principally relates to revenue recognized from the redemption of mileage credits for air travel, non-air travel and other awards. Mileage credits are combined in one homogeneous pool and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue is comprised of mileage credits that were part of the loyalty program deferred revenue balance at the beginning of the period, as well as mileage credits that were issued during the period.

(2)Mileage credits can be redeemed at any time and generally do not expire as long as the AAdvantage member has any type of qualifying activity at least every 24 months or if the AAdvantage member is the primary holder of a co-branded credit card. As of March 31, 2026, our current loyalty program liability was $4.2 billion and represents our current estimate of revenue expected to be recognized in the next 12 months based on historical trends, with the balance reflected in long-term loyalty program liability expected to be recognized as revenue in periods thereafter.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, our loyalty program liability includes a one-time cash payment associated with the extension of a partner agreement announced in 2025.

The air traffic liability principally represents tickets sold for future travel on American, American Eagle and partner airlines. The balance in our air traffic liability also fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. The contract duration of passenger tickets is generally one year. Accordingly, any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within 12 months. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $4.2 billion of revenue was recognized in passenger revenue that was included in our air traffic liability at December 31, 2025.

(1)Includes a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowing capacity of up to $350 million. In March 2026, American elected to exercise its option to extend the maturity date of the revolving credit facility by an additional year to March 2028. Additionally, American currently has $50 million of available borrowing capacity under a cargo receivables facility that is scheduled to expire in December 2026. There are no amounts drawn under these facilities.

Secured financings, including revolving credit and other facilities, are collateralized by assets, consisting primarily of aircraft, engines, simulators, airport gate leasehold rights, route authorities, airport slots, certain receivables, certain intellectual property and certain loyalty program assets.

As a result of the Fourth Amendment, the term loans outstanding under the 2025 AAdvantage Term Loan Facility were replaced with new term loans in the same principal amount. Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the 2025 AAdvantage Term Loan Facility bears interest at a base rate (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus an applicable margin of 1.75% per annum or, at the AAdvantage Issuers’ option, the SOFR rate for a tenor of three months (subject to a floor of 0.00%), plus an applicable margin of 2.75% per annum. All other terms of the 2025 AAdvantage Term Loan Facility remain substantially similar.

2026-1 Class (B)R Aircraft EETCs

In March 2026, American entered into agreements under which it borrowed $870 million in connection with the financing of certain aircraft that had been previously delivered. Debt incurred under these agreements is junior to existing equipment notes secured by such previously delivered aircraft, matures in 2028 through 2029 and bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.61%.

2025-1 Aircraft EETCs

In November 2025, American created two pass-through trusts which issued approximately $1.1 billion aggregate face amount of Series 2025-1 Class A and Class B EETCs (the 2025-1 Aircraft EETCs) in connection with the financing of 25 aircraft delivered to American from October 2025 through March 2026 (the 2025-1 Aircraft). In 2025, $978 million of the proceeds were used to purchase equipment notes issued by American in connection with the financing of 21 of the 2025-1 Aircraft. In March 2026, approximately $127 million of proceeds were used to purchase equipment notes issued by American in connection with the financing of the four remaining 2025-1 Aircraft. As of March 31, 2026, there are no remaining proceeds held in escrow, and all proceeds have been used to purchase equipment notes issued by American. Interest and principal payments on equipment notes issued in connection with the 2025-1 Aircraft EETCs are payable semi-annually in May and November each year, with interest payments scheduled to begin in May 2026 and principal payments scheduled to begin in November 2026.

Certain information regarding the 2025-1 Aircraft EETC equipment notes, as of March 31, 2026, is set forth in the table below:


	2025-1 Aircraft EETCs
	Series A	Series B
Aggregate principal issued	$884 million	$221 million
Fixed interest rate per annum	4.90%	5.65%
Maturity date	May 2038	November 2034

Other Financing Activities

In the first quarter of 2026, American paid in full the $629 million of the outstanding principal amount of the senior short-term term loan facility due January 2026. Additionally, American prepaid in full the $1.0 billion of the outstanding principal amount of the 8.50% senior secured notes.

6. Income Taxes

At December 31, 2025, we had approximately $11.9 billion of gross federal net operating losses (NOLs) and $6.0 billion of other carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $1.6 billion will expire beginning in 2033 if unused and $16.3 billion can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had approximately $5.0 billion of NOL carryforwards to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2025, which will expire in taxable years 2025 through 2045 if unused.

Our ability to use our NOLs and other carryforwards depends on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods. We provide a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets, which include our NOLs and other carryforwards, when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of our deferred tax assets, will not be realized. We consider all available positive and negative evidence and make certain assumptions in evaluating the realizability of our deferred tax assets. Many factors are considered that impact our assessment of future profitability, including conditions which are beyond our control, such as the health of the economy, the availability and price volatility of aircraft fuel and travel demand. We have determined that positive factors outweigh negative factors in the determination of the realizability of our deferred tax assets.

We have used the discrete method to calculate income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026. At this time, we believe that the use of the discrete method is more appropriate than the estimated annual effective tax rate method due to the fact that small changes in projected full year income could cause material fluctuations in our annual effective tax rate applied during each quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recorded an income tax benefit of $94 million, which was substantially non-cash due to the utilization of the NOLs described above. Substantially all of our loss before income taxes is attributable to the United States.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. Our short-term investments, restricted cash and restricted short-term investments classified as Level 2 utilize significant observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, for valuation of these securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):


	Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2026

11. Regional Expenses

Our regional carriers provide scheduled air transportation under the brand name “American Eagle.” The American Eagle carriers include our wholly-owned regional carriers as well as third-party regional carriers. Our regional carrier arrangements are principally in the form of capacity purchase agreements. Expenses, excluding fuel expense, associated with American Eagle operations are classified as regional expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Regional expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 include $91 million and $79 million of depreciation and amortization, respectively, and each include $2 million of aircraft rent.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we recognized $177 million and $168 million, respectively, of expense under our capacity purchase agreement with Republic Airways Inc. (Republic). We hold a 20.8% equity interest in Republic Airways Holdings Inc., the parent company of Republic.

12. Legal Proceedings

Private Party Antitrust Actions Related to the Northeast Alliance (NEA). On December 5, 2022 and December 7, 2022, two private party plaintiffs filed putative class action antitrust complaints against AAG and JetBlue Airways Corporation (JetBlue) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that AAG and JetBlue violated U.S. antitrust law in connection with the previously disclosed NEA. These actions were consolidated on January 10, 2023. The private party plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint on February 3, 2023. On February 2, 2023 and February 15, 2023, private party plaintiffs filed two additional putative class action antitrust complaints against AAG and JetBlue in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, respectively. In March 2023, AAG filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts case asking to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and consolidate it with the cases pending in that venue. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts granted that motion. The remaining cases were consolidated with the other actions in the Eastern District of New York. In June 2023, the private party plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint, followed by a third amended complaint filed in August 2023. In September 2023, AAG, together with JetBlue, filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint. In September 2024, the court denied that motion. AAG and JetBlue filed answers to the private party plaintiffs’ third amended complaint in October 2024. We believe these lawsuits are without merit and are defending against them vigorously.

helicopter pilots were negligent in failing to see and avoid Flight 5342. American and PSA filed motions to dismiss asserting federal preemption and related failure to state a claim grounds. The airlines’ motions to dismiss were denied without prejudice on February 27, 2026. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on March 27, 2026. Discovery is ongoing pursuant to an expedited 18-month discovery and pre-trial calendar, which sets the trial date for April 12, 2027. We believe these lawsuits are without merit as to both American and PSA and are defending against them vigorously.

General. In addition to the specifically identified legal proceedings, we and our subsidiaries are also engaged in other legal proceedings from time to time. Legal proceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final outcome depending on a number of variables, some of which are not within our control. Therefore, although we will vigorously defend ourselves in each of the actions described above and such other legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial and other impacts on us are uncertain but could be material.

Total passenger revenue	$	12,495	$	11,391

American attributes passenger revenue by geographic region based upon the origin and destination of each flight segment.

Contract Balances

American’s significant contract liabilities are comprised of (1) outstanding loyalty program mileage credits that may be redeemed for future air travel, non-air travel and other awards, reported as loyalty program liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets; and (2) ticket sales for transportation that has not yet been provided, reported as air traffic liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.


	March 31, 2026		December 31, 2025
	(In millions)
Loyalty program liability	$	11,586	$	10,564

Balance at December 31, 2025	$	10,564
Deferral of revenue	2,020
Recognition of revenue (1)	(998)
Balance at March 31, 2026 (2)	$	11,586

(2)Mileage credits can be redeemed at any time and generally do not expire as long as the AAdvantage member has any type of qualifying activity at least every 24 months or if the AAdvantage member is the primary holder of a co-branded credit card. As of March 31, 2026, American’s current loyalty program liability was $4.2 billion and represents American’s current estimate of revenue expected to be recognized in the next 12 months based on historical trends, with the balance reflected in long-term loyalty program liability expected to be recognized as revenue in periods thereafter.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2026, American’s loyalty program liability includes a one-time cash payment associated with the extension of a partner agreement announced in 2025.

The air traffic liability principally represents tickets sold for future travel on American, American Eagle and partner airlines. The balance in American’s air traffic liability also fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. The contract duration of passenger tickets is generally one year. Accordingly, any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within 12 months. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, $4.2 billion of revenue was recognized in passenger revenue that was included in American’s air traffic liability at December 31, 2025.

5. Income Taxes

At December 31, 2025, American had approximately $11.7 billion of gross federal net operating losses (NOLs) and $3.8 billion of other carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $1.8 billion will expire beginning in 2033 if unused and $13.7 billion can be carried forward indefinitely. American is a member of AAG’s consolidated federal and certain state income tax returns. American also had approximately $4.7 billion of NOL carryforwards to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2025, which will expire in taxable years 2025 through 2045 if unused.

American’s ability to use its NOLs and other carryforwards depends on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods. American provides a valuation allowance for its deferred tax assets, which include its NOLs and other carryforwards, when it is more likely than not that some portion, or all of its deferred tax assets, will not be realized. American considers all available positive and negative evidence and makes certain assumptions in evaluating the realizability of its deferred tax assets. Many factors are considered that impact American’s assessment of future profitability, including conditions which are beyond its control, such as the health of the economy, the availability and price volatility of aircraft fuel and travel demand. American has determined that positive factors outweigh negative factors in the determination of the realizability of its deferred tax assets.

American has used the discrete method to calculate income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2026. At this time, American believes that the use of the discrete method is more appropriate than the estimated annual effective tax rate method due to the fact that small changes in projected full year income could cause material fluctuations in American’s annual effective tax rate applied during each quarter.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, American recorded an income tax benefit of $64 million, which was substantially non-cash due to the utilization of the NOLs described above. Substantially all of American’s loss before income taxes is attributable to the United States.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

American utilizes the market approach to measure the fair value of its financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market transactions involving identical or comparable assets. American’s short-term investments, restricted cash and restricted short-term investments classified as Level 2 utilize significant observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, for valuation of these securities. No changes in valuation techniques or inputs occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2026.

Assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in millions):


	Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2026

12. Legal Proceedings

Private Party Antitrust Actions Related to the Northeast Alliance (NEA). On December 5, 2022 and December 7, 2022, two private party plaintiffs filed putative class action antitrust complaints against AAG and JetBlue Airways Corporation (JetBlue) in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York alleging that AAG and JetBlue violated U.S. antitrust law in connection with the previously disclosed NEA. These actions were consolidated on January 10, 2023. The private party plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint on February 3, 2023. On February 2, 2023 and February 15, 2023, private party plaintiffs filed two additional putative class action antitrust complaints against AAG and JetBlue in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts and the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, respectively. In March 2023, AAG filed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts case asking to transfer the case to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York and consolidate it with the cases pending in that venue. The U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts granted that motion. The remaining cases were consolidated with the other actions in the Eastern District of New York. In June 2023, the private party plaintiffs filed a second amended consolidated complaint, followed by a third amended complaint filed in August 2023. In September 2023, AAG, together with JetBlue, filed a motion to dismiss the third amended complaint. In September 2024, the court denied that motion. AAG and JetBlue filed answers to the private party plaintiffs’ third amended complaint in October 2024. AAG believes these lawsuits are without merit and is defending against them vigorously.

American Eagle Flight 5342 Accident Litigation. On January 29, 2025, American Eagle flight 5342 was involved in a fatal accident in Washington, D.C. The Bombardier CRJ700 aircraft operated by PSA Airlines, Inc. (PSA) was en route to Washington, D.C. from Wichita, Kansas when it was involved in a midair collision near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Beginning on September 24, 2025, multiple wrongful death and survival actions have been filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia related to the accident. AAG expects additional actions will continue to be filed. All cases have been assigned to the same judge and are subject to streamlined pleading and discovery procedures. The court required plaintiffs to file a single consolidated Master Complaint (MC), with later joining plaintiffs to file short form complaints adopting the MC and adding any plaintiff-specific information. The MC alleges that the U.S. Government, American and PSA negligently caused or contributed to the accident. Defendants’ respective deadlines to respond to the MC were in December 2025. The U.S. Government filed an answer to the MC admitting liability only as to claims that the helicopter pilots were negligent in failing to see and avoid Flight 5342. American and PSA filed motions to dismiss asserting federal preemption and related failure to state a claim grounds. The airlines’ motions to dismiss were denied without prejudice on February 27, 2026. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on March 27, 2026. Discovery is ongoing pursuant to an expedited 18-month discovery and pre-trial calendar, which sets the trial date for April 12, 2027. American believes these lawsuits are without merit as to both American and PSA and is defending against them vigorously.

General. In addition to the specifically identified legal proceedings, American and its subsidiaries are also engaged in other legal proceedings from time to time. Legal proceedings can be complex and take many months, or even years, to reach resolution, with the final outcome depending on a number of variables, some of which are not within American’s control. Therefore, although American will vigorously defend itself in each of the actions described above and such other legal proceedings, their ultimate resolution and potential financial and other impacts on American are uncertain but could be material.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Part I, Item 2 of this report should be read in conjunction with Part II, Item 7 of AAG’s and American’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (the 2025 Form 10-K). The information contained herein is not a comprehensive discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of AAG and American, but rather updates disclosures made in the 2025 Form 10-K.

Financial Overview

Business and Macroeconomic Conditions

Worldwide macroeconomic, political and military events, including war, terrorist activity, and conflict in the Middle East (particularly if it intensifies or is prolonged) and in Ukraine, have contributed, and are likely to continue to contribute, to oil and natural gas price volatility. These factors, along with changes in U.S. or international trade policies and continued uncertainty surrounding such policies, could lead to weakened business conditions for the transportation industry, which may adversely impact our operations through increased supply chain challenges, commodity price volatility and a decline in discretionary spending and consumer confidence, among others.

Our operating results are materially impacted by changes in the availability, price volatility and cost of aircraft fuel, which represents one of the largest single cost items in our business. Because of the amount of fuel needed to operate our business, even a relatively small increase or decrease in the price of aircraft fuel can have a material effect on our operating results and liquidity. Market prices for aircraft fuel have fluctuated substantially over the first quarter of 2026 and prices continue to be highly volatile, with market spot prices ranging from a low of approximately $1.86 per gallon to a high of approximately $4.75 per gallon during the first quarter of 2026.

AAG’s First Quarter 2026 Results

The selected financial data presented below is derived from AAG’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1A of this report and should be read in conjunction with those financial statements and the related notes thereto.

This compares to first quarter of 2025 pre-tax loss and net loss of $648 million and $473 million, respectively. Excluding the effects of pre-tax net special items, pre-tax loss was $327 million and $530 million in the first quarters of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

The period-over-period decrease in pre-tax loss on both a GAAP basis and excluding pre-tax net special items was principally driven by an increase in passenger revenue, offset in part by increases in certain operating expenses including salaries, wages, and benefits, aircraft fuel and related taxes and other operating expenses.

Revenue

In the first quarter of 2026, we reported total operating revenues of $13.9 billion, an increase of $1.4 billion, or 10.8%, from the first quarter of 2025. Passenger revenue was $12.5 billion in the first quarter of 2026, an increase of $1.1 billion, or 9.7%, from the first quarter of 2025. Passenger revenue performance improved in the first quarter of 2026, primarily due to higher domestic and international demand for air travel with passenger revenue per available seat mile (PRASM) increasing 6.5% compared to the first quarter of 2025. This increase was primarily driven by a 5.6% increase in passenger yield, while load factor increased 0.7pts compared to the first quarter of 2025.

Cargo revenue increased $25 million, or 12.9%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to a 9..0% increase in cargo ton miles and a 3.6% increase in cargo yield.

Other operating revenue increased $232 million, or 23.9%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, driven primarily by higher revenue associated with our loyalty program. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, cash payments from co-branded credit card and other partners were $2.9 billion and $1.8 billion, respectively. Cash remuneration for the first quarter of 2026 included a one-time cash payment associated with the extension of a partner agreement announced in 2025.

Our total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) was 19.32 cents in the first quarter of 2026, a 7.6% increase as compared to 17.95 cents in the first quarter of 2025.

Fuel

Aircraft fuel and related taxes was $2.9 billion in the first quarter of 2026, which was $341 million, or 13.2%, higher as compared to the first quarter of 2025. This was primarily due to a 10.7% increase in the average price per gallon of aircraft fuel including related taxes to $2.75 in the first quarter of 2026 from $2.48 in the first quarter of 2025 and a 2.3% increase in gallons of fuel consumed due to increased capacity.

As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge our fuel consumption. Our current policy is not to enter into transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, although we review this policy from time to time based on market conditions and other factors. As such, and assuming we do not enter into any future transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, we will continue to be fully exposed to fluctuations in fuel prices. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Our business is very dependent on the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Continued periods of high volatility in fuel costs, increased fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel could have a significant negative impact on consumer demand, our operating results and liquidity” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Other Costs

We remain committed to actively managing our cost structure, which we believe is necessary in an industry whose economic prospects are heavily dependent upon two variables we cannot control: general economic conditions and the price of fuel. Additionally, we continue to focus on initiatives to reengineer our business through the use of digital solutions, process enhancements and procurement transformation and we intend to continue to invest in reengineering our business through the remainder of 2026 and beyond to build an even more efficient airline and continue to manage costs while delivering a better experience for our customers and team.

Our 2026 first quarter total operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) was 19.38 cents, an increase of 5.6% from 18.34 cents in the first quarter of 2025. The increase in CASM was primarily driven by higher costs for salaries, wages and benefits, aircraft fuel and other operating expenses, offset in part by a decrease in mainline operating special items, net.

Table of Contents

Our 2026 first quarter CASM excluding net special items, fuel and profit sharing was 15.29 cents, an increase of 5.2% from 14.54 cents in the first quarter of 2025, which was primarily driven by higher costs for salaries, wages and benefits and other operating expenses.

For a reconciliation of CASM to CASM excluding net special items, fuel and profit sharing see “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

Liquidity

As of March 31, 2026, we had $10.8 billion in total available liquidity, consisting of $7.3 billion in unrestricted cash and short-term investments, and $3.5 billion in total undrawn capacity under revolving credit and other facilities.

During the first three months of 2026, we completed the following financing transactions (see Note 5 to AAG’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1A for further information on 2026 financing activities):

•repaid in full $629 million of the outstanding principal amount of the senior short-term term loan facility;

•prepaid in full $1.0 billion of the outstanding principal amount of the 8.50% senior secured notes;

•amended the 2025 AAdvantage Term Loan Facility to reduce the applicable interest rate margin;

•increased the aggregate revolving commitments under the 2013, 2014 and 2023 Revolving Facilities from $3.0 billion to $3.1 billion and extended the maturity of each facility from June 4, 2029 to March 5, 2031;

•received approximately $870 million and $127 million in proceeds from enhanced equipment trust certificates (EETCs) under the 2026-1 Class (B)R Aircraft EETCs and the 2025-1 Class A and B EETCs, respectively, in connection with the financing of certain aircraft;

•extended the maturity date of a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowing capacity of up to $350 million by an additional year to March 2028; and

•incurred $554 million in net payments on fuel financing transactions.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We sometimes use financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (GAAP) to understand and evaluate our current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. We believe 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. We are providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis.

The following table presents the reconciliation of pre-tax loss (GAAP measure) to pre-tax loss excluding net special items (non-GAAP measure). Management uses this non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude net special items provides management with an additional tool to understand our core operating performance.

Additionally, the table below presents the reconciliation of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net special items, fuel and profit sharing (non-GAAP measure) and CASM to CASM excluding net special items, fuel and profit sharing. Management uses total operating costs excluding net special items, fuel and profit sharing and CASM excluding net special items, fuel and profit sharing to evaluate our current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which we have no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. Additionally, we exclude profit sharing to allow investors to better understand and analyze our operating cost performance and to provide a more meaningful comparison of our core operating costs to the airline industry. The adjustment to exclude net special items, fuel and profit sharing provides management with an additional tool to understand and analyze our non-fuel costs and core operating performance. Amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.

Table of Contents

Salaries, wages and benefits increased $452 million, or 10.7%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to annual contractual wage rate increases and a 3.9% increase in mainline full-time equivalent employees subsequent to the first quarter of 2025.

Maintenance, materials and repairs increased $60 million, or 6.5%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to increased costs for airframe heavy checks, component part repairs and engine overhauls driven by higher volume and cost of materials.

Other rent and landing fees increased $64 million, or 7.7%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to rate increases at certain airports.

Selling expenses increased $57 million, or 12.8%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher commissions from renegotiated agency contracts, higher credit card fees driven by the overall increase in passenger revenue and increased advertising expenses.

Other operating expenses increased $142 million, or 8.7%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily driven by increased costs for crew travel, onboard food and catering, Wi-Fi, ground and cargo handling, passenger accommodation and certain general and administrative expenses.

(1)Not meaningful or greater than 100% change.

Interest income decreased $39 million, or 41.3%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of our short-term investments and lower interest rates, resulting in reduced returns. Interest expense, net decreased $31 million, or 7.3%, in the first quarter of 2026 from the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to lower interest rates on our variable-rate debt instruments and lower outstanding debt subsequent to the first quarter of 2025, as we continue our efforts to strengthen the balance sheet.

In the first quarter of 2026, other nonoperating expense, net included $135 million of net special items primarily for mark-to-market net unrealized losses associated with certain equity investments and costs associated with debt refinancings and extinguishments, offset in part by $18 million of non-service-related pension and other postretirement benefit plan income.

Table of Contents

In the first quarter of 2025, other nonoperating expense, net primarily included $48 million of net special charges for mark-to-market net unrealized losses associated with certain equity investments and debt refinancings and extinguishments, as well as $11 million of foreign currency losses, offset in part by $11 million of non-service-related pension and other postretirement benefit plan income.

Income Taxes

In the first quarter of 2026, we recorded an income tax benefit of $94 million. Substantially all of our loss before income taxes is attributable to the United States.

See Note 6 to AAG’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1A for additional information on income taxes.

Income Taxes

American is a member of AAG’s consolidated federal and certain state income tax returns.

In the first quarter of 2026, American recorded an income tax benefit of $64 million. Substantially all of American’s loss before income taxes is attributable to the United States.

See Note 5 to American’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1B for additional information on income taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

At March 31, 2026, AAG had $10.8 billion in total available liquidity and $717 million in restricted cash and short-term investments. Additional detail regarding our available liquidity is provided in the table below (in millions):

In the ordinary course of our business, we or our affiliates may, at any time and from time to time, seek to prepay, retire or repurchase our outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, prepayments, retirements or exchanges, if any, will be conducted on such terms and at such prices as we may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, legal and contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Table of Contents

Certain Covenants

Our debt agreements contain customary terms and conditions as well as various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that, among other things, may restrict our ability and that of our subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or repurchase stock. Our debt agreements also contain customary change of control provisions, which may require us to repay or redeem such indebtedness upon certain events constituting a change of control under the relevant agreement, in certain cases at a premium. Additionally, certain of our debt financing agreements (including our secured notes, term loans, revolving credit facilities and spare engine EETCs) contain loan to value (LTV) or collateral coverage ratio covenants and certain agreements require us to appraise the related collateral annually or semiannually. Pursuant to such agreements, if the applicable LTV or collateral coverage ratio exceeds or falls below a specified threshold, as the case may be, we will be required, as applicable, to pledge additional qualifying collateral (which in some cases may include cash or investment securities), withhold additional cash in certain accounts, or pay down such financing, in whole or in part, or the interest rate for the relevant financing will be increased. Additionally, a significant portion of our debt financing agreements contain covenants requiring us to maintain an aggregate of at least $2.0 billion of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and amounts available to be drawn under revolving credit facilities. The AAdvantage Financing contains a peak debt service coverage ratio, pursuant to which failure to comply with a certain threshold may result in early repayment, in whole or in part, of the AAdvantage Financing. As of the most recent applicable measurement dates, we were in compliance with each of the foregoing covenants.

Sources and Uses of Cash

AAG

Operating Activities

Our net cash provided by operating activities was $4.2 billion and $2.5 billion for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, a $1.8 billion period-over-period increase driven primarily by working capital increases principally in our air traffic liability and loyalty program deferred revenue.

Investing Activities

Our net cash used in investing activities was $2.3 billion and $1.2 billion for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Our principal investing activities in the first quarter of 2026 included $1.5 billion in net purchases of short-term investments and $811 million of capital expenditures, which primarily related to the purchase of nine Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, two Embraer E175 aircraft, one Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft and six aircraft engines.

Our principal investing activities in the first quarter of 2025 included $824 million of capital expenditures, which primarily related to the purchase of seven Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, two Embraer E175 aircraft, two Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft, one Airbus A321neo aircraft and four aircraft engines. Additionally, we had $457 million in net purchases of short-term investments.

Financing Activities

Our net cash used in financing activities was $1.9 billion and $1.2 billion for the first quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Our principal financing activities in the first quarter of 2026 included $2.3 billion in long-term debt and finance lease repayments, consisting of the $1.0 billion early repayment on the outstanding principal amount of the 8.50% senior secured notes and $1.3 billion in scheduled repayments, including the outstanding principal amount of the senior short-term term loan facility. Additionally, we incurred $554 million in net payments on fuel financing transactions. These cash outflows were offset in part by $997 million of proceeds from the issuance of EETCs in connection with the financing of certain aircraft.

Our principal financing activities in the first quarter of 2025 primarily included $1.4 billion in long-term debt and finance lease repayments, consisting of $910 million in scheduled repayments, $308 million of early repayments toward portions of the outstanding principal amounts of the 10.75% senior secured IP notes and 10.75% senior secured LGA/DCA notes and $144 million of early repayments for the outstanding principal amount of equipment notes issued under an EETC. These cash outflows were offset in part by $325 million of proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, primarily from the issuance of equipment loans and other notes payable in connection with the financing of certain aircraft.

(1)Delivery schedule represents our best estimate as of the date of this report as described in footnote (d) to the “Contractual Obligations” table below. Actual delivery dates are subject to change, which could be material, based on various potential factors including production delays by the manufacturer and regulatory concerns. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “We depend on a limited number of suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines and parts. Delays in scheduled aircraft deliveries, unexpected grounding of aircraft or aircraft engines whether by regulators or by us, or other loss of anticipated fleet capacity, and failure of new aircraft to receive regulatory approval, be produced or otherwise perform as and when expected, adversely impacts our business, results of operations and financial condition” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

(2)The table above and the “Contractual Obligations” table below reflect our exercise of purchase options for six Airbus A320 Family aircraft in April 2026.

In addition, we have committed to purchase three used Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft which are scheduled to be delivered in 2026. We also have agreements for 42 spare engines to be delivered in the second quarter of 2026 and beyond. The “Contractual Obligations” table below reflects these commitments.

We intend to finance future aircraft deliveries and option exercises using long-term debt.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

An off-balance sheet arrangement is any transaction, agreement or other contractual arrangement involving an unconsolidated entity under which a company has (1) made guarantees, (2) a retained or a contingent interest in transferred assets, (3) an obligation under derivative instruments classified as equity or (4) any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or that engages in leasing, hedging or research and development arrangements with us.

There have been no material changes in our off-balance sheet arrangements as discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K.

(a)Amounts represent contractual amounts due. Excludes $286 million and $2 million of unamortized debt discount, premium and issuance costs as of March 31, 2026 for American and AAG Parent, respectively. For additional information, see Note 5 and Note 4 to AAG’s and American’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Items 1A and 1B, respectively.

(b)For variable-rate debt, future interest obligations are estimated using the current forward rates at March 31, 2026.

(c)Includes $7.8 billion of future principal payments and $1.1 billion of future interest payments as of March 31, 2026, related to EETCs associated with mortgage financings of certain aircraft and spare engines.

(d)See “Aircraft and Engine Purchase Commitments” above for additional information about the firm commitments for the acquisition of aircraft and engines, including the anticipated aircraft delivery schedule. Due to uncertainty surrounding the timing of delivery of certain aircraft, the amounts in the table represent our most current estimate based on contractual delivery schedules adjusted for updates and revisions to such schedules communicated to management by the applicable equipment manufacturer and certain management assumptions. However, the actual delivery schedule may differ, potentially materially, based on various potential factors including production delays by the equipment manufacturers and regulatory concerns.

(e)These commitments are estimates of costs based on assumed minimum levels of flying under the capacity purchase agreements and American’s actual payments could differ materially.

(f)Represents minimum pension contributions and expected contributions to our retiree medical and other postretirement plans based on actuarially determined estimates as of December 31, 2025 and is based on estimated payments through 2035. During the first three months of 2026, we made required contributions of $236 million and supplemental contributions of $50 million to our defined benefit pension plans.

(g)Includes purchase commitments for aircraft fuel, flight equipment maintenance and information technology support and excludes obligations under certain fuel offtake agreements or other agreements for which the timing of the related expenditure is uncertain, or which are subject to material contingencies, such as the construction of a production facility.

Capital Raising Activity and Other Possible Actions

In light of our significant financial commitments related to, among other things, the servicing and amortization of existing debt and equipment leasing arrangements and new flight equipment, we and our subsidiaries will regularly consider, and enter into negotiations related to, capital raising and liability management activity, which may include the entry into leasing transactions and future issuances of, and transactions designed to manage the timing and amount of, secured or unsecured debt obligations or additional equity or equity-linked securities in public or private offerings or otherwise. The cash available from operations (if any) and these sources, however, may not be sufficient to cover our cash obligations because economic factors may reduce the amount of cash generated by operations or increase costs. For instance, an economic downturn or general global instability caused by governmental actions, military actions, terrorism, disease outbreaks, natural disasters or other causes could reduce the demand for air travel, which would reduce the amount of cash generated by operations. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Downturns in economic conditions could adversely affect our business” in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional discussion. An increase in costs, either due to an increase in borrowing costs caused by a reduction in credit ratings or a general increase in interest rates, due to an increase in the cost of fuel, maintenance, aircraft, aircraft engines or parts, or due to an increase in tariffs, could decrease the amount of cash available to cover cash contractual obligations. Moreover, certain of our financing arrangements contain significant minimum cash balance or similar liquidity requirements. As a result, we cannot use all of our available cash to fund operations, capital expenditures and cash obligations without violating these requirements.

In the past, we have from time to time refinanced, redeemed or repurchased our debt and taken other steps to reduce or otherwise manage the aggregate amount and cost of our debt, lease and other obligations or otherwise improve our balance sheet. Going forward, depending on market conditions, our cash position and other considerations, we may continue to take such actions, and the amounts involved may be material.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

For information regarding our critical accounting policies and estimates, see Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

AAG’s and American’s Market Risk Sensitive Instruments and Positions

Our primary market risk exposures include the price of aircraft fuel, foreign currency exchange rates and interest rate risk. Our exposure to these market risks has not changed materially from our exposure discussed in our 2025 Form 10-K except as updated below.

Aircraft Fuel

As of March 31, 2026, we did not have any fuel hedging contracts outstanding to hedge our fuel consumption. Our current policy is not to enter into transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, although we review this policy from time to time based on market conditions and other factors. As such, and assuming we do not enter into any future transactions to hedge our fuel consumption, we will continue to be fully exposed to fluctuations in fuel prices. Based on our 2026 forecasted fuel consumption, we estimate that a one cent per gallon increase in the price of aircraft fuel would increase our 2026 annual fuel expense by approximately $45 million. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “Our business is very dependent on the price and availability of aircraft fuel. Continued periods of high volatility in fuel costs, increased fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel could have a significant negative impact on consumer demand, our operating results and liquidity” in our 2025 Form 10-K.

Foreign Currency

We are exposed to the effect of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the U.S. dollar value of foreign currency-denominated transactions. Our largest exposure comes from the Euro, Canadian dollar, British pound sterling and various Latin American currencies (primarily the Brazilian real). We do not currently have a foreign currency hedge program.

Generally, fluctuations in foreign currencies, including devaluations, cannot be predicted by us and can significantly affect the value of our assets located outside the United States. These conditions, devaluations or imposition of more stringent repatriation restrictions, may materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. See Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors – “We operate a global business with international operations that are subject to economic and political instability and have been, and in the future may continue to be, adversely affected by numerous events, circumstances or government actions beyond our control” in our 2025 Form 10-K for additional discussion of this and other currency risks.

Interest

Our earnings and cash flow are affected by changes in interest rates due to the impact those changes have on our interest expense from variable-rate debt instruments and our interest income from short-term, interest-bearing investments. If annual interest rates increase 100 basis points, based on our March 31, 2026 variable-rate debt and short-term investments balances, annual interest expense on variable rate debt would increase by approximately $140 million and annual interest income on short-term investments would increase by approximately $70 million.
