1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "Sun Country" or the "Company") is the parent company of Sun Country, Inc., which is a certificated air carrier providing scheduled passenger service, air cargo service, charter air transportation and related services.
The Company has prepared the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements according to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and has included the accounts of Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the audited annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for Form 10-Q. Therefore, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Sun Country Airlines Holdings, Inc. should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC ("2022 10-K"). 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 Company reclassified certain prior period amounts to conform to the current period presentation. All material intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 Company completed its public float calculation for SEC reporting purposes as of June 30, 2023, as required. The Company will be a large accelerated filer as of December 31, 2023.
Due to impacts from seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, uncertainties in pilot staffing, the impact of macroeconomic conditions including inflationary pressures, and other factors, operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of operating results for future quarters or for the year ending December 31, 2023.
2.    REVENUE
Sun Country is a certificated air carrier generating Operating Revenues from Scheduled Service, Charter service, Ancillary, Cargo and Other revenue. Scheduled Service revenue mainly consists of base fares. Charter service revenue is primarily generated through service provided to the U.S. Department of Defense, collegiate and professional sports teams, and casinos. Ancillary revenues consist of revenue earned from air travel-related services, such as: baggage fees, seat selection fees, other fees and on-board sales. Cargo consists of revenue earned from flying cargo aircraft for Amazon.com Services, Inc. (together with its affiliates, “Amazon”) under the Air Transportation Services Agreement (the “ATSA”). Other revenue consists primarily of revenue from services in connection with Sun Country Vacations products and rental revenue related to certain transactions where the Company acts as a lessor.

The Company attributes and measures its Operating Revenues by geographic region as defined by the Department of Transportation ("DOT") for airline reporting based upon the origin of each passenger and cargo flight segment.
The Company’s operations are highly concentrated in the U.S., but include service to many international locations, primarily based on scheduled service to Latin America during the winter season and on military charter services.

Contract Balances
The Company’s contract assets primarily relate to costs incurred to get Amazon cargo aircraft ready for service. The balances are included in Other Current Assets and Other Assets on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company’s contract liabilities are comprised of: 1) ticket sales for transportation that has not yet been provided (reported as Air Traffic Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets), 2) outstanding loyalty points that may be redeemed for future travel and other non-air travel awards (reported as Loyalty Program Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets) and, 3) the Amazon Deferred Up-front Payment received (reported within Other Current Liabilities and Other Long-term Liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets).

Total Contract Liabilities$146,786 $176,703 
The balance in the Air Traffic Liabilities fluctuates with seasonal travel patterns. Most tickets can be purchased no more than twelve months in advance, therefore any revenue associated with tickets sold for future travel will be recognized within that timeframe. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, $152,292 of revenue was recognized in Passenger revenue that was included in the Air Traffic Liabilities as of December 31, 2022.
Loyalty Program
The Sun Country Rewards program provides loyalty awards to program members based on accumulated loyalty points. The Company records a liability for loyalty points earned by passengers under the Sun Country Rewards program using two methods: 1) a liability for points that are earned by passengers on purchases of the Company’s services is established by deferring revenue based on the redemption value, net of estimated loyalty points that will expire unused, or breakage; and 2) a liability for points attributed to loyalty points issued to the Company’s Visa card holders is established by deferring a portion of payments received from the Company’s co-branded agreement. The balance of the Loyalty Program Liabilities fluctuates based on seasonal patterns, which impacts the volume of loyalty points awarded through travel or issued to co-branded credit card and other partners (deferral of revenue) and loyalty points redeemed (recognition of revenue). Due to these reasons, the timing of loyalty point redemptions can vary significantly.
Changes in the Loyalty Program Liabilities are as follows:
20232022
Balance – January 1$15,437 $19,718 
Loyalty Points Earned6,209 5,125 
Loyalty Points Redeemed (1)

Balance – September 30
$13,847 $16,317 
______________________
(1)Loyalty points are combined in one homogenous pool, which includes both air and non-air travel awards, and are not separately identifiable. As such, the revenue recognized is comprised of points that were part of the Loyalty Program Liabilities balance at the beginning of the period, as well as points that were earned during the period.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company acquired five 737-900ERs that are currently on lease to an unaffiliated airline ("Aircraft Held for Operating Lease"). The five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease were financed through a term loan arrangement. See Note 5 of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this transaction. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company acquired an incremental aircraft and executed two lease amendments to purchase two aircraft at the end of their respective lease terms. The lease amendments modified the classification of these leases from operating leases to finance leases and have expiration dates in fiscal year 2024. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, management approved a

plan to retire an owned aircraft. Certain parts of the aircraft were maintained for future use by the Company or held for sale. The impact of the retirement and the assets held for sale were not material to the Company's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Of the 34 Owned aircraft and Aircraft Held for Operating Lease as of September 30, 2023, 31 aircraft were financed and three aircraft were unencumbered.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company executed lease amendments to purchase two aircraft at the end of the lease term, which modified the lease classification from operating leases to finance leases with expiration dates in fiscal year 2026 and retired one aircraft. Further, the Company purchased two aircraft previously classified as finance leases using proceeds from the issuance of Class A and Class B pass-through trust certificates (the "2022-1 EETC") and purchased two aircraft previously classified as operating leases. The Company also acquired seven incremental 737-800 aircraft, five of which were financed using proceeds from the 2022-1 EETC and two through a finance lease arrangement that is set to expire in fiscal year 2030.

The purchase price was assigned to the assets based upon their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The Company estimated the fair value of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease principally based on market appraisals. The appraisals were based on an analysis of the economic conditions impacting both the airline industry and broader economy, the current fuel price environment, aircraft order data, passenger traffic levels, and qualitative and quantitative characteristics impacting the value of the acquired aircraft.
The fair value of the Maintenance Rights Asset was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on aircraft utilization levels at the time of the acquisition and the applicable rates as specified within the lease agreements.

The fair value of the Over-Market Asset was determined using a discounted cash flow model that involves the comparison of contractual lease cash flows to the estimated at-market lease payments for an aircraft of the same type and age.
The purchase of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease was financed using the proceeds from a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 and the Company's Cash and Cash Equivalents. For more information on the term loan credit facility, see Note 6 of these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Aircraft Held for Operating Lease
The Company obtained outright ownership of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease upon purchase and assumed the position of lessor until the end of the lease terms. The Company is entitled to fixed payments over the remaining lease term for each aircraft, which expire at various dates between the fourth quarter of 2024 and the fourth quarter of 2025. On each lease expiry date, the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease will be redelivered to Sun Country and are expected to be inducted into the Company’s fleet. The rental revenue associated with the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease is recognized as it is earned and is included in Other revenue. The Company has recognized $5,870 and $11,742 of rental revenue during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.
Maintenance Rights Asset
Upon purchase of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, the Company recognized a Maintenance Rights Asset which represents the Company’s contractual right to receive the aircraft in a specified maintenance condition at the end of the lease. The acquired leases contain an end of lease compensation clause whereby the lessee is required to remit a cash payment to true-up the aircraft’s maintenance condition to full-life or perform the maintenance tasks needed to physically restore the airframe and engines to such a condition. The asset represents the difference between the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease’s physical maintenance condition as of the purchase date and the contractual return condition at the end of the lease term. The Maintenance Rights Asset is not depreciated over the lease term, nor will it accrete as additional life is consumed on the aircraft.
Over-Market Asset
Upon purchase of the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, the Company recognized an intangible asset representing lease terms which are favorable to the lessor (unfavorable to the lessee), as compared with market terms of similar leases. The asset will be amortized over the remaining lease terms for the respective aircraft, which ranges from 1.2 to 2.2 years as of September 30, 2023. The amortization will be recognized as contra-revenue, offsetting the rental revenue associated with the Aircraft Held for Operating Lease included in Other revenue.
6.    DEBT
Credit Facilities
On February 10, 2021, the Company executed a five-year credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with a group of lenders. The Credit Agreement includes a $25,000 Revolving Credit Facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility") and a $90,000 Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (“DDTL”), which are collectively referred to as the “Credit Facilities.” The proceeds from the Revolving Credit Facility can be used for general corporate purposes, whereas the proceeds from the DDTL were to be used solely to finance the acquisition of aircraft or engines to be registered in the United States. The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants that

(Unaudited)
require a minimum trailing 12-month EBITDAR ($87,700 as of March 31, 2022 and beyond) and minimum liquidity, as defined within the Credit Agreement, of $30,000 at the close of any business day. The Company was in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2023.
During 2021, the Company drew $80,500 on the DDTL to purchase six aircraft, which were previously under operating leases. During 2022, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of the DDTL in full using proceeds received from the 2022-1 EETC, which terminated the DDTL. As a result, no amounts under the DDTL were available to the Company as of September 30, 2023. The Company recorded a $1,557 loss on extinguishment of debt in 2022 in connection with the repayment of the DDTL, which represents the write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $24,650 of financing available through the Revolving Credit Facility, as $350 had been pledged to support a letter of credit.
Long-term Debt
Term Loan Credit Facility
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company executed a term loan credit facility with a face amount of $119,200 for the purpose of financing the five Aircraft Held for Operating Lease. The loan is to be repaid monthly through March 2030. During the lease term, payments collected from the lessee will be applied directly to the repayment of principal and interest on the term loan credit facility. The Aircraft Held for Operating Lease, as well as the related lease payments received from the lessee, are pledged as collateral. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recorded $1,820 in debt issuance costs associated with the term loan credit facility.
The interest rate on the term loan credit facility is determined by using a base rate, which resets monthly, plus an applicable margin, and a fixed credit spread adjustment of 0.1%. The applicable margin during the lease term is fixed at 3.75%, and is subsequently reduced to 3.25% once the aircraft have been redelivered to the Company and a Loan-to-Value ("LTV") ratio calculation is completed at the end of the lease term. The interest rate in effect as of September 30, 2023 was 9.2%. To the extent that the LTV ratio exceeds 75% at the end of the lease term, a principal prepayment will be required in order to reduce the ratio to 75%. If at any point within 12 months of the end of the lease term for each respective aircraft the Company deems it probable that a principal prepayment will be required in order to reduce the LTV ratio to 75%, and such amount can be reasonably estimated, the estimated principal prepayment amount will be reclassified from Long-term Debt, net to Current Maturities of Long-Term Debt, net on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In the event a principal prepayment is required, amounts received under the end of lease maintenance compensation clause may be applied towards the prepayment.
Pass-Through Trust Certificates
During March 2022, the Company arranged for the issuance of the 2022-1 EETC in an aggregate face amount of $188,277 for the purpose of financing or refinancing 13 aircraft. The Company is required to make bi-annual principal and interest payments each March and September, through March 2031. These notes bear interest at an annual rate between 4.84% and 5.75%.

The fair value of Debt was $408,892 as of September 30, 2023 and $324,059 as of December 31, 2022. The fair value of the Company’s debt was based on the discounted amount of future cash flows using the Company’s end-of-period estimated incremental borrowing rate for similar obligations. The estimates were primarily based on Level 3 inputs.
7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
Stock compensation expense was $1,039 and $487, during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively; and $8,132 and $1,981 during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, all conditions associated with the time-based and performance-based options granted under the SCA Acquisition Holdings, LLC Amended and Restated Equity Incentive Plan were met. As a result, 100% of the performance-based stock options and all remaining unvested time-based options vested. Therefore, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized an acceleration of stock-based compensation expense for the time-based and performance-based stock options totaling $2,960.
As of September 30, 2023, there was $7,267 of total unrecognized compensation expense related to Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs"). This unrecognized compensation is expected to be fully recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.1 years.
