Delta Air Lines today reported financial results for the September quarter and provided its outlook for the December quarter. Highlights of the September quarter, including GAAP and adjusted metrics, are in the full release and on Delta News Hub.
“Thanks to the exceptional work of the entire Delta team, we continue to lead the industry operationally and financially, with a double-digit operating margin and nearly $3 billion of free cash flow generation year-to-date. In recognition of the outstanding efforts of our employees this year, we have accrued almost $1 billion of profit sharing towards the upcoming February payout," said Ed Bastian, Delta Chief Executive Officer.
“With an improving industry backdrop and strong demand for travel on Delta, we are positioned to finish the year strong. We expect our December quarter pre-tax profit to grow 30% over last year to $1.4 billion, which would mark one of the most profitable fourth quarters in our history.” |
