MINNEAPOLIS. February 5, 2026. Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. (“Sun Country Airlines,” “Sun Country,” the “Company”) (NASDAQ: SNCY) today reported financial results for its fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2025.

"I'm proud to report our 14th consecutive profitable quarter and fifth consecutive year of profitability," said Jude Bricker, President and Chief Executive Officer of Sun Country. "2025 was a transformative and successful year for Sun Country. We expanded our cargo fleet by eight aircraft to strengthen our cargo business. This strategic growth required deliberate capacity adjustments in our scheduled service network, and despite this complexity, we delivered margins that are among the highest in the industry. This achievement reflects the exceptional dedication and effort of our team. Recently, we announced our transformative merger with Allegiant, and we are looking forward to capitalizing on our promise of our combined airline for our customers, employees, and shareholders alike. We continue to focus on executing a safe, reliable profitable airline."

For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, Sun Country reported Income Before Income Tax of $11.4 million and Net Income of $8.1 million, on $281.0 million of revenue. Adjusted Income Before Income Tax for the quarter was $12.7 million(2). GAAP Operating Income during the quarter was $18.2 million, producing an Operating Income Margin of 6.5%, while Adjusted Operating Income was $19.5 million(2), resulting in an Adjusted Operating Income Margin of 7.0%(2).

"Our diversified business model delivered exceptional results in the fourth quarter, with record cargo revenue(1) and the highest fourth quarter charter revenue in company history(1)," said Torque Zubeck, Chief Financial Officer. "Our strong charter performance demonstrates the flexibility of our business model and our ability to quickly respond to opportunities in the market. In scheduled service, capacity decreased 9.8% as resources were redeployed to accommodate our cargo fleet expansion. The reduction in scheduled service capacity combined with a strong demand environment drove scheduled service TRASM(3) growth of 8.9%. We are well positioned for continued growth in 2026 as first quarter demand trends remain strong and we will be growing back our scheduled service business later in the year."
Notable Operational Highlights

Announced plans to open a new operational base at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) in early 2026 which we believe will bolster operational efficiencies in our cargo business
Plans to add two new cargo aircraft to the fleet, with both aircraft expected to be operational in early third quarter 2026. One of these aircraft will be utilized as a spare to support the cargo operation.
Received one 737-900ER and one 737-800 during the quarter. Both of these aircraft were previously on lease with other operators and are being transitioned into Sun Country configurations and are expected to enter into service by the end of first quarter 2026.
Currently has three aircraft on lease that are expected to be returned to the Company through 2026

Capacity

System block hours flown during the fourth quarter of 2025 grew by 9.2% year-over-year, driven by the segments under contract. Cargo block hours increased in the fourth quarter by 50.6% year-over-year while charter block hours increased 12.4%. Scheduled service block hours declined 8.5% in the quarter as pilot resources were shifted to support cargo growth.
Revenue

The Company experienced strong scheduled service demand during the fourth quarter. Scheduled service TRASM(3) increased 8.9% year-over-year on a 9.8% decrease in scheduled service ASMs. Average base fare, ancillary revenue per passenger, and scheduled service load factor all increased versus the fourth quarter of 2024.

Charter revenue increased 18.0% on a 12.4% increase in charter block hours. Charter flying under long-term contracts accounted for 64% of charter block hours versus 61% in the fourth quarter of 2024.

Fourth quarter cargo revenue increased 67.9% on block hour growth of 50.6%, primarily driven by the eight additional cargo aircraft deployed earlier in the year.
Cost

Fourth quarter GAAP operating expense increased 12.1%, compared to total block hour growth of 9.2%. Fuel cost per gallon increased 3.6%.

CASM increased 19.1% on a 5.8% decrease in system ASMs. Adjusted CASM(4) increased 12.1%, primarily driven by headcount growth of 4.5% to support the expanded aircraft fleet and a significant increase in scheduled heavy maintenance versus the fourth quarter of 2024 as the Company was able to pull forward some events from 2026.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
Total liquidity(5) was $302.8 million on December 31, 2025, while the Company’s net debt(6) was $364.0 million.

Pending Transaction with Allegiant

On January 11, 2026, Sun Country and Allegiant entered into a definitive agreement under which Allegiant will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Sun Country in a cash and stock transaction (the “Merger”).

In light of the pending transaction, Sun Country will not host a live conference call to discuss its financial results, and Sun Country will no longer provide quarterly guidance.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to receipt of U.S. federal antitrust clearance and other required regulatory approvals, the approval of both companies' shareholders and other customary closing conditions.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Income before Income Tax, Adjusted Pre-tax Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin
Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Income before Income Tax, Adjusted Pre-tax Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are non-GAAP measures included as supplemental disclosure because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance. Derivations of Operating Income and Net Income are well recognized performance measurements in the airline industry that are frequently used by our management, as well as by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in comparing the operating performance of companies in our industry.
The measures described above have limitations as analytical tools. Some of the limitations applicable to these measures include: they do not reflect the impact of certain cash and non-cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and other companies in our industry may calculate these non-GAAP measures differently than we do, limiting each measure’s usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the following non-GAAP measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to the possible differences in the method of calculation and in the items being adjusted.
For the aforementioned reasons, Adjusted Operating Income, Adjusted Operating Income Margin, Adjusted Income before Income Tax, Adjusted Pre-tax Margin, Adjusted Net Income, Adjusted Net Income per Share, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin have significant limitations which affect their use as indicators of our profitability. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.

Adjusted CASM
Adjusted CASM is a metric that uses a non-GAAP measure derived from CASM by excluding fuel costs, costs related to our cargo operations, stock based compensation, certain unplanned engine events, depreciation and amortization recognized on certain assets that generate lease income, certain commissions and other costs of selling our vacations product from this measure as these costs are unrelated to our airline operations and improve comparability to our peers. Adjusted CASM is an important measure used by management and by our board of directors in assessing quarterly and annual cost performance. Adjusted CASM is also a measure commonly used by industry analysts and we believe it is an important metric by which they compare our airline to others in the industry, although other airlines may exclude certain other costs in their calculation of Adjusted CASM. The measure is also the subject of frequent questions from investors.

Adjusted CASM excludes fuel costs. By excluding volatile fuel costs that are outside of our control from our unit metrics, we believe that we have better visibility into the results of operations and our non-fuel cost initiatives. Our industry is highly competitive and is characterized by high fixed costs, so even a small reduction in non-fuel operating costs can lead to a significant improvement in operating results. In addition, we believe that all domestic carriers are similarly impacted by changes in jet fuel costs over the long run, so it is important for management and investors to understand the impact and trends in company-specific cost drivers, such as labor rates, aircraft and maintenance costs, and productivity, which are more controllable by management.
We have excluded costs related to the cargo operations, as well as depreciation and amortization recognized on certain assets that generate lease income as these operations do not create ASMs. The Company has entered into certain transactions where we act as a lessor. As of December 31, 2025, we leased or subleased three aircraft. Depreciation and Amortization on these aircraft materially began during the three months ended June 30, 2023. Adjusted CASM further excludes special items and other adjustments, as defined in the relevant reporting period, that are not representative of the ongoing costs necessary to our airline operations and may improve comparability between periods. We also exclude stock compensation expense when computing Adjusted CASM. The Company’s compensation strategy includes the use of stock-based compensation to attract and retain employees and executives and is principally aimed at aligning their interests with those of our stockholders and long-term employee retention, rather than to motivate or reward operational performance for
Page 15


any period. Thus, stock-based compensation expense varies for reasons that are generally unrelated to operational decisions and performance in any period.
As derivations of Adjusted CASM are not determined in accordance with GAAP, such measures are susceptible to varying calculations and not all companies calculate the measures in the same manner. As a result, derivations of Adjusted CASM as presented may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted CASM should not be considered in isolation or as a replacement for CASM. For the aforementioned reasons, Adjusted CASM has significant limitations which affect its use as an indicator of our profitability. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information.
