UNITED AIRLINES HOLDINGS, INC. AND UNITED AIRLINES, INC.
COMBINED NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
United Airlines Holdings, Inc. (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, "UAL" or the "Company") is a holding company 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's operating revenues and operating expenses comprise nearly 100% of UAL's revenues and operating expenses. In addition, United comprises approximately the entire balance of UAL's 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.
The UAL and United unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements shown here have been prepared as required by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Some information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements that comply with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the SEC. 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 interim periods presented. The UAL and United financial statements should be read together with the information included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the "2023 Form 10-K"). The Company's quarterly financial data is subject to seasonal fluctuations. Historically its second and third quarter financial results have reflected higher travel demand than its first and fourth quarter financial results.
NOTE 1 — REVENUE
Revenue by Geography. The table below presents the Company's operating revenue by principal geographic region (as defined by the U.S. Department of Transportation) (in millions):
Three Months Ended September 30,Nine Months Ended September 30,

Pacific1,531 1,378 4,721 3,751 
Total$14,843 $14,484 $42,368 $40,091 
Advance Ticket Sales. The Company defers amounts related to future travel in its Advance ticket sales liability account. All tickets sold at any given point in time have travel dates through the subsequent 12 months. The Company estimates the value of Advance ticket sales that will expire unused ("breakage") and recognizes revenue and any changes in estimates in proportion to the usage of the related tickets. To determine breakage, the Company uses its historical experience with expired tickets and certificates and other facts, such as recent aging trends, program changes and modifications that could affect the ultimate expiration patterns.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized approximately $5.2 billion and $5.3 billion, respectively, of passenger revenue for tickets that were included in Advance ticket sales at the beginning of those periods.
Ancillary Fees. The Company charges fees, separately from ticket sales, for certain ancillary services that are directly related to passenger travel. This includes fees for baggage, premium seats, inflight amenities and other ticket-related fees. These ancillary fees are part of the travel performance obligation and, as such, are recognized as passenger revenue when the travel occurs. The Company recorded $1.1 billion and $3.3 billion of ancillary fees within passenger revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The Company recorded $1.1 billion and $3.0 billion of ancillary fees within passenger revenue in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

In 2020 and 2021, the Company issued to the United States Department of the Treasury (the "U.S. Treasury") warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase 9,928,349 shares of UAL common stock in connection with the Payroll Support Program established under Division A, Title IV, Subtitle B of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, the Payroll Support Program Extension established under Division N, Title IV, Subtitle A of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 ("PSP2"), the Payroll Support Program 3 established under Title VII, Subtitle C of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 ("PSP3"), and the Airline Loan Program established under Division A, Title IV, Subtitle A of the CARES Act. In August 2024, the holder of the Warrants exercised 6,414,635, or 65%, of the Warrants, with an exercise price of $31.50, in a net share settlement for 2,043,906 shares of UAL common stock. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had the below Warrants outstanding:

In August 2024, the Company repurchased, through open market repurchases following the exercise of the Warrants described above, 2,043,906 shares of UAL common stock, which was recorded as an approximately $82 million increase to Stock held in treasury, at cost. These share repurchases were executed outside a publicly announced plan or program using cash resources.
On October 15, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors ("Board") authorized a new share repurchase program, allowing for purchases of up to $1.5 billion in the aggregate of outstanding UAL common stock and Warrants, subject to a limit of $500 million in the aggregate through 2024. Unless suspended or terminated earlier by the Board, this program has no set expiration date and will therefore terminate when the Company has completed all purchases authorized under the program. The specific timing and number of shares of UAL common stock or Warrants purchased will be determined by the Company's management at its discretion and will vary based on the capital needs of the business, the market price of UAL common stock, general market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. The purchases may be effected through a combination of one or more open market and privately negotiated transactions (including under trading plans intended to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")) as well as transactions structured through investment banking institutions and other derivative transactions (including through one or more accelerated share repurchase programs).
