UNITED AIRLINES, INC.

COMBINED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "UAL" or the "Company") is a holding company incorporated in Delaware and its wholly-owned subsidiary is United Airlines, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "United"). ~~This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of UAL and United, including their respective consolidated financial statements.~~ As UAL consolidates United for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to activities of United also apply to UAL, unless otherwise noted. United comprises substantially all of UAL's operating revenues, operating expenses, assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. When appropriate, UAL and United are named specifically for their individual contractual obligations and related disclosures, and any significant differences between the operations and results of UAL and United are separately disclosed and explained.

The ~~UAL~~Company's ~~and~~consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United ~~unaudited~~States ~~condensed~~of ~~consolidated~~America ~~financial~~("GAAP"). ~~statements~~Some ~~shown~~information ~~here~~and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements have been ~~prepared~~condensed or omitted as ~~required~~permitted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). ~~Some~~The ~~information~~UAL and ~~footnote~~United ~~disclosures~~financial ~~normally~~statements ~~included~~should inbe ~~financial~~read ~~statements~~in ~~that~~conjunction ~~comply~~ with ~~accounting~~the ~~principles~~information ~~generally~~included ~~accepted~~ in the ~~United~~Company's ~~States~~Annual ~~("GAAP")~~Report ~~have~~on ~~been~~Form ~~condensed~~10-K orfor ~~omitted~~the asfiscal ~~permitted~~year byended December 31, 2025 (the ~~SEC~~"2025 Form 10-K"). The financial statements include all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments and other adjustments, which are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. The ~~UAL~~Company's quarterly financial data is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and ~~United~~its second and third quarter financial ~~statements~~results ~~should~~have behistorically ~~read~~reflected ~~together~~higher ~~with~~travel ~~the~~demand ~~information~~than ~~included~~its infirst ~~the~~and ~~Company's~~fourth ~~Annual~~quarter ~~Report~~financial onresults. ~~Form~~Due ~~10-K~~to ~~for~~these ~~the~~fluctuations, ~~fiscal~~quarterly ~~year~~financial ~~ended~~results ~~December~~are ~~31,~~not ~~2024~~necessarily ~~(the~~indicative ~~"2024~~of ~~Form~~financial ~~10-K").~~results for the entire year.

The Company consolidates variable interest entities ~~where~~when it ~~has~~determines ~~been determined~~ that ~~the~~it ~~Company~~ is the primary beneficiary of those entities' operations. All ~~significant~~material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain ~~prior~~columns ~~period~~and ~~amounts~~rows ~~have~~within ~~been~~the ~~reclassified~~financial tostatements ~~conform~~and tables presented may not sum due to rounding. Per unit amounts have been calculated from the ~~current~~underlying ~~period~~whole-dollar ~~presentation~~amounts.

The Company's quarterly financial data is subject to seasonal fluctuations, and its second and third quarter financial results have historically reflected higher travel demand than its first and fourth quarter financial results. Due to these fluctuations, quarterly financial results are not necessarily indicative of financial results for the entire year.

Change in Presentation. In the first quarter of 2025, the Company changed its rounding presentation to the nearest whole number in millions of reported amounts, except per share data or as otherwise designated. As such, certain columns and rows within the financial statements and tables presented may not sum due to rounding. Per unit amounts have been calculated from the underlying whole-dollar amounts. This change is not material and does not impact the comparability of our condensed consolidated financial statements.

Segments. The Company manages its operations as one segment. The Company's chief executive officer is its chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). The CODM assesses performance of the Company and makes resource allocation decisions based on Net income as reported in the Company's statement of consolidated operations. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as Total assets.

(a) Includes approximately $285 million of deferred income tax expense that will not be recognized in net income until the related pension and postretirement benefit obligations are fully extinguished. We consider all income sources, including other comprehensive income, in determining the amount of tax benefit allocated to results from operations.
(b) This AOCI component is included in the computation of net periodic pension and other postretirement costs, specifically the following components: amortization of unrecognized (gain) loss, amortization of prior service credit and other. See Note 6 of this report for additional information on pensions and other postretirement liabilities.

NOTE 5 - INCOME TAXES

The Company's effective tax rates for the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~March 3031, 2026 and 2025 were 2419.47% and 2219.~~5%, respectively. The Company's effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 25.~~0% ~~and 24.4%~~, respectively. The provision for income taxes is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate, which represents a blend of federal, state and foreign taxes and includes the impact of certain nondeductible items. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a release of valuation allowance related to realized capital gains.

Our debt agreements contain customary terms and conditions as well as various affirmative, negative and financial covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries, under certain circumstances, to incur additional indebtedness and pay dividends or repurchase stock. As of March 31, 2026, the Company was in compliance with its covenants under these debt agreements.

On February 2, 2026, UAL issued, in a public offering, $1,000,000,000 principal amount of its 5.375% Senior Notes due 2031 (the "2031 Notes"), which are guaranteed by United. The 2031 Notes, issued at a price of 100% of their principal amount, bear interest at a rate of 5.375% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning September 1, 2026 and maturing on March 1, 2031. UAL, at its option, may redeem the 2031 Notes at any time prior to September 1, 2030, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed and (2) a make-whole amount, if any, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date. At any time on or after September 1, 2030, UAL may redeem the 2031 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2031 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date.

On February 3, 2026, the Company entered into Amendment No. 4 to Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement that lowered the margin on its interest rate from 2.00% to 1.75%, in the case of Term SOFR (as such term is defined in the Term Loan Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of April 21, 2021, as amended) loans, and from 1.00% to 0.75%, in the case of loans at other market rates.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Regional CPAs. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, United amended some of its CPAs with certain of its regional carriers to modify the terms for certain aircraft and amend the contractually agreed fees paid to those carriers. Our future commitments under our CPAs are dependent on numerous variables, and are, therefore, difficult to predict. The most important of these variables is the number of scheduled block hours. Although we are not required to purchase a minimum number of block hours under certain of our CPAs, we do have contractual minimum utilization levels in other CPAs and we have set forth below estimates of our future payments under the CPAs based on our current assumptions. The actual amounts we pay to our regional operators under CPAs could differ materially from these estimates. United's estimates of its future payments under all of the CPAs do not include the portion of the underlying obligation for any aircraft leased to a regional carrier or deemed to be leased from other regional carriers, or facility rent. For purposes of calculating these estimates, we have assumed (1) the number of block hours flown is based on our anticipated level of flight activity or at any contractual minimum utilization levels if applicable, whichever is higher, (2) that we will reduce the fleet as rapidly as contractually allowed under each CPA, (3) that aircraft utilization, stage length and load factors will remain constant, (4) that each carrier's operational performance will remain at recent historic levels and (5) an annual projected inflation rate. These amounts exclude certain variable pass-through costs such as fuel and landing fees, among others. Based on these assumptions, as of March 31, 2026, our estimated future payments through the end of the terms of our CPAs are presented in the table below (in billions):


	Last Nine Months of 2026		2027		2028		2029		2030		After 2030		Total
Future commitments under CPAs	$	2.1	$	3.3	$	3.0	$	2.5	$	2.2	$	6.1	$	19.3

Increased Cost Provisions. In United's financing transactions that include loans in which United is the borrower, United typically agrees to reimburse lenders for any reduced returns with respect to the loans due to any change in capital requirements and, in the case of loans with respect to which the interest rate is based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR), for certain other increased costs that the lenders incur in carrying these loans as a result of any change in law, subject, in most cases, to obligations of the lenders to take certain limited steps to mitigate the requirement for, or the amount of, such increased costs. At March 31, 2026, the Company had $8.5 billion of floating rate debt with remaining terms of up to approximately 12 years that are subject to these increased cost provisions. In several financing transactions with remaining terms of up to approximately 12 years and an aggregate balance of $5.3 billion, the Company bears the risk of any change in tax laws that would subject loan payments thereunder to withholding taxes, subject to customary exclusions.

Labor. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had approximately 115,600 employees, of whom approximately 83% were represented by various U.S. labor organizations.

In March 2026, the Company reached a new Tentative Agreement ("TA") with its employees represented by the Association of Flight Attendants ("AFA") regarding an agreement that became amendable in August 2021. The new TA includes improvements with respect to scheduling, reserve requirements and other quality of life improvements, as well as pay rate increases during its five-year term. The new TA also includes a provision for a one-time payment to employees represented by the AFA upon ratification. In 2025, the Company recorded, in Special charges (credits), $561 million of expenses related to this ratification payment. Given the inherent uncertainty of the bargaining process, the Company will record any additional amounts awarded under the one-time payment when they become both probable and estimable. Voting to ratify the new TA is expected to close on May 12, 2026.

As a result of the Redemption and the July 2024 voluntarily prepayment in full of the $1.80 billion outstanding principal balance of the secured term loan facility, which was secured ratably with the MileagePlus Notes, all indebtedness secured by the MileagePlus assets have been fully repaid.

NOTE 9 - COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES, AND GUARANTEES

Commitments. The table below summarizes United's firm commitments as of September 30, 2025, which include aircraft and related spare engines, aircraft improvements and non-aircraft commitments (in billions):

						Last Three Months of 2025						2026						2027						2028						2029						After 2029						Total
Purchase commitments						$	4.6					$	7.8					$	5.1					$	6.4					$	8.1					$	22.4					$	54.3

Aircraft commitments are based on contractual scheduled aircraft deliveries. The amount and timing of these commitments could change to the extent that: (i) the Company and the aircraft manufacturers, with whom the Company has existing orders for new aircraft, agree to modify (or further modify) the contracts governing those orders, (ii) rights are exercised pursuant to the relevant agreements to cancel deliveries or modify the timing of deliveries, or (iii) the aircraft manufacturers are unable to deliver in accordance with the terms of those orders.

In September 2025, the Company entered into an agreement with the lessor of 25 Airbus A319 aircraft to purchase those aircraft at the end of the applicable lease term, between 2026 and 2029. The provisions of such agreement resulted in a change to the accounting classification of the applicable leases from operating leases to finance leases.

•Geopolitical Conflicts in the Middle East: During the first quarter of 2026, geopolitical tensions in the Middle East caused disruption of flying in the region and contributed to materially higher global fuel prices that could continue in the future.

~~Overview~~Passenger revenue increased $1.3 billion, or 11.0%, in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to a 3.4% increase in capacity, a 4.2% increase in yield and a 4.1% increase in the number of passengers flown.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is a combined report of UAL and United, including their respective consolidated financial statements. As UAL consolidates United for financial statement purposes, disclosures that relate to activities of United also apply to UAL, unless otherwise noted. United comprises substantially all of UAL's operating revenues, operating expenses, assets, liabilities and operating cash flows. When appropriate, UAL and United are named specifically for their individual contractual obligations and related disclosures, and any significant differences between the operations and results of UAL and United are separately disclosed and explained. We sometimes use the words "we," "our," "us," and the "Company" in this report for disclosures that relate to all of UAL and United.

Our shared purpose is "Connecting People. Uniting the World." We have the most comprehensive route network among North American carriers, including U.S. mainland hubs in Chicago, Denver, Houston, Los Angeles, New York/Newark, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. The Company transports people and cargo through its mainline operations, which utilize jet aircraft with at least 126 seats, and regional operations, which utilize smaller aircraft that are operated under contract by United's regional carriers. The Company serves virtually every major market around the world, either directly or through participation in Star Alliance®, the world's largest airline alliance network.

Our current expectations described below are forward-looking statements and our actual results and timing may vary materially based on various factors that include, but are not limited to, those discussed below under "Economic and Market Factors," "Governmental Actions" and "Forward-Looking Information" and in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the "2024 Form 10-K"). The results presented in this report are not necessarily indicative of future operating results.

Economic and Market Factors

The airline industry is highly competitive, marked by significant competition with respect to routes, fares, airline capacity, schedules (both timing and frequency), services, products, customer service and frequent flyer programs. We, like other companies in our industry, have been subject to these and other industry-specific competitive dynamics. In addition, our operations, supply chain, partners and suppliers have been subject to various global macroeconomic factors. We expect to continue to remain vulnerable to a number of industry-specific and global macroeconomic factors that may cause our actual results of operations to differ from our historical results of operations or current expectations. The economic and market factors and trends that we currently believe are or will be most impactful to our results of operations and financial condition include the following: the execution and effect of our business strategies, including our United Next plan, especially relating to our focus on expanding market and product opportunities and the growth in the scale of our operations; the impact on the Company of significant operational challenges by third parties on which we rely; aircraft delivery delays; rising inflationary pressures; labor market and supply chain constraints and related costs affecting us and our partners; volatile fuel prices; increasing maintenance expenses; changes in interest rates; changes in travel patterns; and changes in general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company operates, including an economic downturn or macroeconomic uncertainty leading to a decrease in demand for air travel or fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates that may impact international travel demand. We continue to monitor the potential favorable or unfavorable impacts of these and other factors on our business, operations, financial condition, future results of operations, liquidity and financial flexibility, which are dependent on future developments, including as a result of those factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of the 2024 Form 10-K. Our future results of operations may be subject to volatility and our growth plans may be delayed, particularly in the short term, due to the impact of the above factors and trends.

Other operating expenses increased $216 million, or 9.3%, in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to an increase in flight activity and on-board passengers, including increased costs for on-board catering, ground handling and passenger services, crew-related expenses, as well as expenditures related to information technology projects and services.

Nonoperating Income (Expense). The table below shows year-over-year comparisons of the Company's nonoperating income (expense) for the three months ended March 31 (in millions, except for percentage changes):

Interest expense decreased $29 million, or 8.1%, in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to lower debt balances as a result of various debt prepayments and scheduled amortization.

Interest income decreased $29 million, or 17.7%, in the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to lower levels of cash and short-term investments and lower interest rates.

Table of Contents

Other operating revenue increased $114 million, or 13.2%, in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the year-ago period, primarily due to an increase in mileage revenue from non-airline partners, including credit card spending with our co-branded credit card partner, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as well as an increase in the purchases of United Club memberships.

Words such as "should," "could," "would," "will," "may," "expects," "plans," "intends," "anticipates," "indicates," "remains," "believes," "estimates," "projects," "forecast," "guidance," "outlook," "goals," "targets," "pledge," "confident," "optimistic," "dedicated," "positioned," "on track" and other words and terms of similar meaning and expression are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such terms. All statements, other than those that relate solely to historical facts, are forward-looking statements.

Additionally, forward-looking statements include conditional statements and statements that identify uncertainties or trends, discuss the possible future effects of known trends or uncertainties, or that indicate that the future effects of known trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted, guaranteed or assured. All forward-looking statements in this report are based upon information available to us on the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or otherwise, except as required by applicable law or regulation.

Our actual results could differ materially from these forward-looking statements due to numerous factors including, without limitation, the following: execution risks associated with our strategic operating plan; changes in our fleet and network strategy or other factors outside our control resulting in less economic aircraft orders, costs related to modification or termination of aircraft orders or entry into aircraft orders on less favorable terms, as well as any inability to accept or integrate new aircraft into our fleet as planned, including as a result of any mandatory groundings of aircraft; any failure to effectively manage, and receive anticipated benefits and returns from, acquisitions, divestitures, investments, joint ventures and other portfolio actions, or related exposures to unknown liabilities or other issues or underperformance as compared to our expectations; adverse publicity, increased regulatory scrutiny, harm to our brand, reduced travel demand, potential tort liability and operational restrictions as a result of an accident, catastrophe or incident involving us, our regional carriers, our codeshare partners or another airline; the highly competitive nature of the global airline industry and susceptibility of the industry to price discounting and changes in capacity, including as a result of alliances, joint business arrangements or other consolidations; unfavorable developments affecting our MileagePlus loyalty program; our reliance on a limited number of suppliers to source a majority of our aircraft, engines and certain parts, and the impact of any failure to obtain timely deliveries, additional equipment or support from any of these suppliers; disruptions to our regional network and United Express flights provided by third-party regional carriers; unfavorable economic and political conditions in the United States and globally; reliance on third-party service providers and the impact of any significant failure of these parties to perform as expected, or interruptions in our relationships with these providers or their provision of services; extended interruptions or disruptions in service at major airports where we operate and space, facility and infrastructure constraints at our hubs or other airports (including as a result of government shutdowns); geopolitical conflict, terrorist attacks or security events (including the suspension of our overflying in Russian airspace as a result of the Russia-Ukraine military conflict and interruptions of our flying as a result of ~~the~~ military conflicts inacross the ~~Middle East~~globe, as well as any escalation of the broader economic consequences of any conflicts beyond their current scope or a delay in any planned resumption of service to an area impacted by conflict); any damage to our reputation or brand image; our reliance on technology and automated systems to operate our business and the impact of any significant failure or disruption of, or failure to effectively integrate and implement, these technologies or systems; increasing privacy, data security and cybersecurity obligations or a significant data breach; increased use of social media platforms by us, our employees and others; the impacts of union disputes, employee strikes or slowdowns, and other labor-related disruptions or regulatory compliance costs on our operations or financial performance; any failure to attract, train or retain skilled personnel, including our senior management team or other key employees; the monetary and operational costs of compliance with extensive government regulation of the airline industry; current or future litigation and regulatory actions, or failure to comply with the terms of any settlement, order or agreement relating to these actions; costs, liabilities and risks associated with environmental regulation and climate change; high and/or volatile fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel; the impacts of our significant amount of financial leverage from fixed obligations and the impacts of insufficient liquidity on our financial condition and business; failure to comply with financial and other covenants governing our debt; limitations on our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes to offset future

reliance on technology and automated systems to operate our business and the impact of any significant failure or disruption of, or failure to effectively integrate and implement, these technologies or systems; increasing privacy, data security and cybersecurity obligations or a significant data breach; increased use of social media platforms by us, our employees and others; the impacts of union disputes, employee strikes or slowdowns, and other costs related to employee and retiree health, pension, labor or regulatory compliance costs on our operations or financial performance; any failure to recruit, hire, develop or train skilled personnel, including our senior management team or other key employees; the monetary and operational costs of compliance with extensive government regulation of the airline industry; current or future litigation and regulatory actions, or failure to comply with the terms of any settlement, order or agreement relating to these actions; costs, liabilities and risks associated with environmental regulation and climate change; high and/or volatile fuel prices or significant disruptions in the supply of aircraft fuel, including as a result of the military conflict in Iran; the impacts of our significant amount of financial leverage from fixed obligations and the impacts of insufficient liquidity on our financial condition and business; failure to comply with financial and other covenants governing our debt; limitations on our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes to offset future taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes; our failure to realize the full value of our intangible assets or our long-lived assets, causing us to record impairments; fluctuations in the price of our common stock; the impacts of seasonality and other factors associated with the airline industry; increases in insurance costs or inadequate insurance coverage; risks relating to our repurchase program for UAL common stock and warrants; and other risks and uncertainties set forth under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors, of our ~~2024~~2025 Form 10-K, and under "~~Economic~~Key ~~and~~Trends ~~Market~~Impacting ~~Factors"~~Our ~~and~~ Business"~~Governmental~~ ~~Actions"~~ in Part I, Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, of this report, as well as other risks and uncertainties set forth from time to time in the reports we file with the SEC.

The foregoing list sets forth many, but not all, of the factors that could impact our ability to achieve results described in any forward-looking statements. Investors should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider this list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. It is routine for our internal projections and expectations to change as the year or each quarter in the year progresses, and therefore it should be clearly understood that the internal projections, beliefs and assumptions upon which we base our expectations may change. For instance, we regularly monitor future demand and booking trends and adjust capacity, as needed. As such, our actual flown capacity may differ materially from currently published flight schedules or current estimations.
