**Item 2.02.**&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;**Results of Operations and Financial Condition.**

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On February 6, 2023, Spirit Airlines, Inc. (the "Company" or "Spirit") issued a press release announcing its unaudited financial results for the fourth quarter and full year of 2022. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-GAAP financial measures that reflect adjustments from historical financial data prepared under GAAP, including adjustments for special items, are included in the press release as supplemental disclosures because the Company believes they are useful indicators of the Company's operating performance for comparative purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures are well recognized performance measurements in the airline industry that are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in comparing the operating performance of companies in the airline industry. The non-GAAP financial measures provided have limitations as an analytical tool. Because of these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. The Company has also provided in the press release reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the appropriate GAAP financial measures.

**EXHIBIT 99.1**

**Spirit Airlines Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2022 Results**

MIRAMAR, Fla., February 6, 2023 - Spirit Airlines, Inc. ("Spirit" or the "Company") (NYSE: SAVE) today reported fourth quarter and full year 2022 financial results.

"I want to thank the entire Spirit Team for their contributions in overcoming the many challenges we faced during 2022. Thanks to their dedication and relentless pursuit to implement more efficient and effective strategies, we made excellent progress on the steps necessary to return Spirit to sustained profitability," said Ted Christie, Spirit's President and Chief Executive Officer.

| | **<u>As Reported</u>** | **<u>Adjusted</u>**<sup>1</sup> |
| Total operating revenues | $1,391.3 million | $1,391.3 million |
| Operating income (loss) | $(305.7) Million | $57.6 Million |
| Operating margin | (22.0)% | 4.1% |
| Net income (loss) | $(270.7) million | $12.6 million |
| Diluted income (loss) per share | $(2.49) | $0.12 |

---

"Leisure demand has remained strong and our team is doing a great job maximizing revenue production," Christie continued. "In the fourth quarter 2022, despite a significant number of weather-related flight cancellations during the peak holiday period, our team delivered better-than-expected unit revenue performance. In fact, when adjusting for capacity increases, our unit revenue performance in the fourth quarter was amongst the best in the industry, when compared to 2019."

*Fourth Quarter 2022 Financial Results*

For the fourth quarter 2022, Spirit reported a net loss of $270.7 million, or a net loss of $2.49 per diluted share. Excluding special items, adjusted net income for the fourth quarter 2022 was $12.6 million<sup>1</sup>, or an adjusted net income of $0.12 per diluted share<sup>1</sup>.

For the fourth quarter 2022, Spirit reported a pre-tax loss of $340.3 million and a pre-tax margin of negative 24.5 percent. Adjusted pre-tax income for the fourth quarter was $23.0 million<sup>1</sup> and adjusted pre-tax margin was 1.7 percent<sup>1</sup>.

*Operations*

For the fourth quarter 2022, the Company's load factor was 81.0 percent, DOT on-time performance<sup>2</sup> was 73.2 percent and Completion Factor<sup>2</sup> was 97.0 percent.

*Revenue*

Total operating revenues for the fourth quarter 2022 were $1.4 billion, an increase of 43.5 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2019 primarily due to increased flight volume and stronger operating yields. Total revenue per ASM ("TRASM") was 10.81 cents, up 17.0 percent compared to fourth quarter 2019 on 22.7 percent more capacity.

On a per passenger flight segment basis, compared to the same period in 2019, total revenue per passenger flight segment ("segment") for the fourth quarter 2022 increased 22.5 percent to $135.62. Compared to the fourth quarter 2019, fare revenue per segment increased 22.1 percent to $64.31 and non-ticket revenue per segment increased 22.9 percent to $71.31<sup>3</sup>. Non-ticket revenue per segment increased sequentially from the

------

third quarter 2022 by $4.24, driven by strong take rates for ancillaries combined with the benefit from revenue management initiatives.

*Cost Performance*

Total GAAP operating expenses for the fourth quarter 2022 increased 100.8 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2019 to $1,697.0 million. Adjusted operating expenses for the fourth quarter 2022 increased 58.0 percent compared to the fourth quarter 2019 to $1,333.7 million<sup>4</sup>. Compared to the fourth quarter 2019, these increases were primarily driven by increases in flight volume, additional aircraft, higher fuel prices and inflationary wage pressures.

Compared to the guidance Spirit gave in mid-December 2022, the Company's total operating expenses for the fourth quarter 2022 came in better-than-expected primarily due to lower airport rents and landing fees driven by operating expense and revenue share adjustments at various airports served by Spirit.

Aircraft utilization in the fourth quarter 2022 was 10.8 hours, down 7.7 percent compared to the 11.7 hours in the same period of 2019 and a sequential improvement from the third quarter 2022 of 1.9 percent. Continued constraint on flights to and from Florida and staffing challenges limited Spirit's ability to optimize its network and operate its fleet at full utilization in the fourth quarter 2022.

"Our team did a great job navigating the various challenges in 2022 and closed the year with better-than-expected results," said Scott Haralson, Spirit's Chief Financial Officer. "Despite some unexpected setbacks with Geared Turbo Fan ("GTF") engine availability issues, a continued stressed industry infrastructure, and other issues, we have been steadily building back to full fleet utilization and are on track to be close to full fleet utilization by the end of 2023. These issues, together with Airbus aircraft delivery delays, have led us to be more conservative with our capacity planning assumptions for 2023. We now anticipate full year 2023 capacity will be up 19 percent to 22 percent compared to 2022 and that our 2023 CASM ex-fuel will fall in the mid to high 6-cent range, which includes approximately 30 basis points of cost pressure related to the recently ratified pilot contract."

*Fleet*

Spirit took delivery of 10 new A320neo aircraft during the fourth quarter 2022. The Company ended the quarter with 194 aircraft in its fleet, an increase of 33.8 percent since the end of fourth quarter 2019.

In January 2023, the Company signed an agreement to sell 29 unencumbered A319ceo aircraft powered with V2500 engines to Gryphon Trading Company, LLC ("Gryphon"), with anticipated deliveries to Gryphon beginning in the first quarter 2023 through the end of the third quarter 2024. The Company expects to remove 14 and 15 A319ceo aircraft from its operating fleet in 2023 and 2024, respectively. The other two A319ceo aircraft in our operating fleet are anticipated to be returned to the lessor upon lease expiration in 2025.

*Liquidity and Capital Deployment*

Spirit ended fourth quarter 2022 with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, short-term investment securities and liquidity available under the Company's revolving credit facility of $1.8 billion.

During the fourth quarter 2022, the Company completed a private offering of an additional $600 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the "Senior Secured Notes") by Spirit IP Cayman Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and Spirit Loyalty Cayman Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (together the "Issuers"). As of December 31, 2022, the Issuers had $1.1 billion of aggregate principal amount of Senior Secured Notes outstanding.

Spirit increased the commitment under its senior secured revolving credit facility by $60.0 million to $300.0 million during the fourth quarter 2022. As of December 31, 2022, the entire $300 million remained undrawn and available.

Total capital expenditures, including net pre-delivery purchase deposits, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022, were $246.1 million, primarily related to the purchase of spare parts, including four

------

spare engines, two flight simulators, and expenditures related to the building of Spirit's new headquarters campus in Dania Beach, Florida.

*Forward Looking Guidance* 

The first quarter and full year 2023 guidance items provided in this release are based on the Company's current estimates and are not a guarantee of future performance. There could be significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including the risk factors discussed in the Company's reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Spirit undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statements or estimates.

Adjusted operating expenses and adjusted operating margin are non-GAAP financial measures, which are provided on a forward-looking basis. The Company does not provide a reconciliation of non-GAAP forward-looking measures on a forward-looking basis where the Company believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision and certainty that could be confusing to investors and is unable to reasonably predict certain items included in/excluded from the GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing or amount of various items that have not yet occurred and are out of the Company's control or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Non-GAAP forward-looking measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

(1)Excludes special items, which may include loss on disposal of assets, special charges and credits, fixed asset impairment charges, and other items which are not estimable at this time.

(2)Includes fuel taxes and into-plane fuel cost.

(3)Includes interest expense, capitalized interest, interest income, and other income and expense. Excludes any potential change in the mark to market adjustment related to the derivative portion of the 2026 Convertible Notes.

(4)In periods where the amount of 2025 Convertible Notes (the "Notes") outstanding remains unchanged from the fourth quarter 2022 and the Company is profitable, the Notes could have a dilutive impact of approximately 2.3 million on the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. If adjusted net income plus interest on the Notes, net of income tax, divided by the weighted average diluted shares including the 2.3 million shares is found to be anti-dilutive, the shares related to the Notes will not be included in the weighted average diluted share count. In addition, if the Company is profitable, the dilutive impact, if any, from outstanding equity awards and warrants will also impact the weighted average diluted shares outstanding. The Treasury Stock Method will be used to determine the dilutive impact of any outstanding equity awards and warrants.

(5)Total capital expenditures assumes all new aircraft deliveries are either delivered under direct leases or financed through sale-leaseback transactions.

(1)Excludes operating special items. In prior periods, we excluded supplemental rent adjustments related to the modification of aircraft or engine leases from our non-GAAP measures. However, we no longer exclude supplemental rent adjustments and, as such, Adjusted CASM and Adjusted CASM ex-fuel shown above for 2019 have been revised to reflect this change.

(2)Excludes fuel expense and operating special items.

*Non-GAAP Financial Measures*

The Company evaluates its financial performance utilizing various accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") and non-GAAP financial measures, including Adjusted operating expenses, Adjusted operating income (loss), Adjusted operating margin, Adjusted pre-tax income (loss), Adjusted pre-tax margin, Adjusted net income (loss), Adjusted diluted earnings (loss) per share and Adjusted CASM. These non-GAAP financial measures are provided as supplemental information to the financial information presented in this press release that is calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP and these non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management believes that they supplement or enhance management's, analysts' and investors' overall understanding of the Company's underlying financial performance and trends and facilitate comparisons among current, past and future periods.

Because the non-GAAP financial measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they should not be considered superior to and are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP financial measures presented in the press release and may not be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies due to possible differences in the method of calculation and in the items being adjusted. We encourage investors to review our financial statements and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The information below provides an explanation of certain adjustments reflected in the non-GAAP financial measures and shows a reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures reported in this press release (other than forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures) to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. Within the financial tables presented, certain columns and rows may not add due to the use of rounded numbers. Per unit amounts presented are calculated from the underlying amounts.

The Company believes that adjusting for loss on disposal of assets, special charges (credits), federal excise tax recovery adjustments and accelerated asset retirements is useful to investors because these items are not indicative of the Company's ongoing performance and the adjustments are similar to those made by our peers and allow for enhanced comparability to other airlines. In prior periods, we excluded supplemental rent adjustments related to the modification of aircraft or engine leases from our non-GAAP measures. However, we no longer exclude supplemental rent adjustments and, as such, non-GAAP measures for 2019 have been revised to reflect this change and no longer exclude any previously reported supplemental rent adjustments.

Operating expenses per available seat mile ("CASM") is a common metric used in the airline industry to measure an airline's cost structure and efficiency. We exclude aircraft fuel and related taxes and special items from operating expenses to determine Adjusted CASM ex-fuel. We also believe that excluding fuel costs from certain measures is useful to investors because it provides an additional measure of management's performance excluding the effects of a significant cost item over which management has limited influence and increases comparability with other airlines that also provide a similar metric.

(7)Fourth quarter 2022 includes the dilutive impact of outstanding equity awards and warrants. Full year 2022 excludes the dilutive impact of outstanding equity awards and warrants. Although the Company was profitable on an adjusted net income basis in the fourth quarter 2022, the 2025 convertible shares had an anti-dilutive impact on the weighted average diluted earnings per share and were therefore excluded from the weighted-average diluted share count used to calculate adjusted net income per diluted share for the fourth quarter 2022. Fourth quarter and full year 2019 include the dilutive impact from outstanding equity awards.
