FOR RELEASE: Thursday, Oct. 19, 2023

AMERICAN AIRLINES REPORTS THIRD-QUARTER 2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS

FORT WORTH, Texas –– American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) today reported its third-quarter 2023 financial results, including:

•Record third-quarter revenue of approximately $13.5 billion.

•GAAP third-quarter net loss of $545 million, or ($0.83) per diluted share.

•Excluding net special items1, third-quarter net income of $263 million, or $0.38 per diluted share.

•Record third-quarter completion factor, best among U.S. network carriers.

•Ended the third quarter with approximately $13.5 billion of total available liquidity.

•Reduced total debt2 by $1.4 billion in the third quarter.

•Credit rating upgraded by Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's during the third quarter.

“The American Airlines team continues to produce strong results,” said American’s CEO Robert Isom. “Our team is delivering record-setting reliability and operational performance. We are executing on our plans and remain well-positioned for the future, supported by the strength of our network, our young and modern fleet, and our outstanding team.”

Reliability

American delivered a strong operation in the third quarter, including a record-setting performance during the peak travel period this summer. American operated more than 515,000 flights in the third quarter with an average load factor of 84%. The company produced its best-ever third-quarter completion factor and the best completion factor among U.S. network carriers. American is committed to building on this momentum and delivering a reliable operation for customers during the upcoming holiday travel season.

Financial performance

American produced record third-quarter revenues of approximately $13.5 billion, driven by a resilient demand environment and record-setting co-brand credit card and travel rewards program revenue. American saw year-over-year growth in corporate and government revenue in the third quarter and continued strength in demand and revenue from unmanaged business travel.

In the third quarter, the company produced an operating margin of (1.7%) and net loss of $545 million on a GAAP basis. Excluding net special items1, American produced an operating margin of 5.4% and net income of $263 million in the third quarter, exceeding the high end of the company's prior guidance.

Liquidity and balance sheet

American reduced total debt2 by $1.4 billion in the third quarter. Strengthening the balance sheet continues to be a top priority, and the company is more than 70% of the way to its goal of reducing total debt by $15 billion by the end of 2025. As of Sept. 30, 2023, American had reduced its total debt by approximately $10.9 billion from peak levels in mid-2021.

American's commitment to strengthening its balance sheet is being recognized, with Fitch, Moody's and Standard & Poor's each upgrading the company's credit rating in the third quarter. The company ended the quarter with approximately $13.5 billion of total available liquidity, comprised of cash and short-term investments plus undrawn capacity under revolving and other short-term credit facilities.

Guidance and investor update

Based on demand trends and the current fuel price forecast and excluding the impact of special items3, the company expects its fourth-quarter 2023 adjusted operating margin to be 2% to 4%. American now expects its full-year 2023 adjusted operating margin to be approximately 7%.

For additional financial forecasting detail, please refer to the company’s investor update, furnished with this press release with the SEC on Form 8-K. This filing will also be available at aa.com/investorrelations.

Conference call and webcast details

The company will conduct a live audio webcast of its financial results conference call at 7:30 a.m. CT today. The call will be available to the public on a listen-only basis at

aa.com/investorrelations. An archive of the webcast will be available on the website through Nov. 19.

Notes

See the accompanying notes in the financial tables section of this press release for further explanation, including a reconciliation of all GAAP to non-GAAP financial information, including the calculation of free cash flow.

1.The company recognized $808 million of net special items in the third quarter after the effect of taxes, which principally included operating net special items of $983 million related to one-time charges resulting from the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with American's mainline pilots, as well as nonoperating net special items of $101 million for charges associated with debt extinguishments and mark-to-market net unrealized losses on certain equity investments.

2.All references to total debt include debt, finance leases, operating lease liabilities and pension obligations.

3.The company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking information to GAAP as the nature or amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time.

Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information

American Airlines Group Inc. (the Company) sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis.

The tables below present the reconciliations of the following GAAP measures to their non-GAAP measures:

–Operating Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Operating Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)

–Operating Margin (GAAP measure) to Operating Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)

–Pre-Tax Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Income (Loss) Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)

–Pre-Tax Margin (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)

–Net Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Net Income (Loss) Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)

–Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (GAAP measure) to Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure)

Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude net special items allows management an additional tool to understand the Company’s core operating performance.

Additionally, the tables below present the reconciliations of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure) and total operating costs per ASM (CASM) to CASM excluding net special items and fuel. Management uses total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel and CASM excluding net special items and fuel to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude fuel and net special items allows management an additional tool to understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance.

FOOTNOTES:

(1)The 2023 three and nine month period mainline operating special items, net principally included $983 million of one-time charges resulting from the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with our mainline pilots, including a one-time payment of $754 million as well as adjustments to other benefit-related items of $229 million.

The 2022 nine month period mainline operating special items, net principally included a non-cash impairment charge to write down the carrying value of the Company's retired Airbus A330 fleet to the estimated fair value due to the market conditions for certain used aircraft. The Company retired its Airbus A330 fleet in 2020 as a result of the decline in demand for air travel due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

(2)Principally included charges associated with debt refinancings and extinguishments as well as mark-to-market net unrealized gains and losses associated with certain equity investments.

(3)The 2023 three and nine month period diluted earnings per share excluding net special items gives effect to, among other things, the Company's outstanding 6.5% senior convertible notes by (a) adding back to earnings $11 million and $33 million of interest expense, respectively, related to such convertible notes, net of estimated profit sharing, short-term incentive and tax effects and (b) including in the diluted shares outstanding, 61.7 million shares issuable in respect to such convertible notes.

Free Cash Flow

The Company's free cash flow summary is presented in the table below, which is a non-GAAP measure that management believes is useful information to investors and others in evaluating the Company's ability to generate cash from its core operating performance that is available for use to reinvest in the business or to reduce debt. The Company defines free cash flows as net cash provided by operating activities less net cash used in investing activities, adjusted for (1) net purchases of short-term investments and (2) change in restricted cash. We believe that calculating free cash flow as adjusted for these items is more useful for investors because short-term investment activity and restricted cash are not representative of activity core to our operations.

This non-GAAP measure may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of free cash flow is not intended, and should not be used, to measure the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures because, among other things, it excludes mandatory debt service requirements and certain other non-discretionary expenditures.

GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation Reconciliation of GAAP Financial Information to Non-GAAP Financial Information American Airlines Group Inc. (the Company) sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The tables below present the reconciliations of the following GAAP measures to their non-GAAP measures: - Operating Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Operating Income Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Operating Margin (GAAP measure) to Operating Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Pre-Tax Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Income (Loss) Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Pre-Tax Margin (GAAP measure) to Pre-Tax Margin Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Net Income (Loss) (GAAP measure) to Net Income (Loss) Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) - Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share (GAAP measure) to Basic and Diluted Earnings (Loss) Per Share Excluding Net Special Items (non-GAAP measure) Management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. As net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount, the adjustment to exclude net special items allows management an additional tool to understand the Company’s core operating performance. Additionally, the tables below present the reconciliations of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel (non-GAAP measure) and total operating costs per ASM (CASM) to CASM excluding net special items and fuel. Management uses total operating costs excluding net special items and fuel and CASM excluding net special items and fuel to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. The adjustment to exclude fuel and net special items allows management an additional tool to understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance.

Exhibit 99.3

Investor Relations Update

October 19, 2023

General Overview

● Capacity - The Company expects its fourth-quarter capacity to be up approximately 4.5% to 6.5% versus the fourth quarter of 2022. Consistent with the mid-point of the guidance we have provided throughout the year, the Company expects its full-year capacity to be up approximately 6.5% year over year.

● TRASM -The Company expects its fourth-quarter total revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) to be down approximately 5.5% to 7.5% versus the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company expects its full-year TRASM to be up approximately 1% year over year.

● CASM-ex1 - The Company expects its fourth-quarter CASM-ex to be up approximately 5% to 7% versus the fourth quarter of 2022. The step-up in sequential year over year CASM-ex is driven by the shift of certain expenses from the third quarter to the fourth quarter and less year over year capacity growth expected in the fourth quarter. Consistent with the mid-point of the guidance we have provided throughout the year, the Company continues to expect its full-year CASM-ex to be up approximately 3% year over year.

● Fuel - Based on the October 12, 2023, forward fuel curve, the Company expects to pay an average of between $3.01 and $3.11 per gallon of jet fuel (including taxes) in the fourth quarter and expects to consume approximately 1,050 million gallons of jet fuel.

● Adjusted operating margin1-The Company expects an adjusted operating margin of approximately 2% to 4% for the fourth quarter. The Company expects a full-year adjusted operating margin of approximately 7%.

● Adjusted nonoperating expense1-The Company expects its total adjusted nonoperating expense to be approximately $400 million in the fourth quarter.

● Taxes - The Company expects a provision for income taxes at an effective rate of approximately 25% for the full year, which is expected to be substantially non-cash.

● Adjusted EPS1- Based on the assumptions outlined above, the Company expects its fourth-quarter adjusted earnings per diluted share to be approximately breakeven using a share count of 658.9 million shares2. Based on current assumptions, the Company now expects its full-year adjusted earnings per diluted share to be between $2.25 and $2.50 using a share count of 720.1 million shares2.

Notes:

1.

CASM-ex is cost per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel and net special items and is a non-GAAP measure. Adjusted operating margin, adjusted nonoperating expense and adjusted earnings per diluted share exclude the impact of net special items and are non-GAAP measures. The Company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking information to GAAP as the nature or amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time. Please see GAAP to non-GAAP reconciliation at the end of this document.

2.

The Company's fourth-quarter 2023 diluted share count for purposes of computing adjusted earnings per share excludes 61.7m shares attributed to the Company's 6.5% convertible notes as they are expected to be antidilutive. Such shares are expected to be dilutive for the full-year 2023 adjusted earnings per share calculation.

Please refer to the footnotes and the forward-looking statements page of this document for additional information.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

October 19, 2023

The Company sometimes uses financial measures that are derived from the condensed consolidated financial statements or otherwise provided in the form of guidance but that are not presented in accordance with GAAP to understand and evaluate its current operating performance and to allow for period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures may also provide useful information to investors and others. These non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures of other companies, and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, any measure of performance, cash flow or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company is providing a reconciliation of reported non-GAAP financial measures to their comparable financial measures on a GAAP basis. The table below presents the reconciliation of total operating costs (GAAP measure) to total operating costs excluding fuel and net special items (non-GAAP measure) and total operating costs per ASM (CASM) to CASM excluding fuel and net special items. Management uses total operating costs excluding fuel and net special items and CASM excluding fuel and net special items to evaluate the Company's current operating performance and for period-to-period comparisons. The price of fuel, over which the Company has no control, impacts the comparability of period-to-period financial performance. Additionally, net special items may vary from period-to-period in nature and amount. These adjustments to exclude fuel and net special items allow management an additional tool to understand and analyze the Company’s non-fuel costs and core operating performance.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation of Total Operating Costs and CASM ($ mil, except ASM and CASM data)
	4Q 2023 Range1		FY 2023 Range1
	Low	High	Low	High
Total operating expenses	$12,352	$12,812	$49,701	$50,160

Total operating expense excluding fuel and net special items (non-GAAP)	$9,192	$9,546	$36,472	$36,827
Total CASM (cts)	17.92	18.24	17.95	18.03

Percentage change compared to 2022 (%)	~ 5%	~ 7%	~ 3%	~ 3%
Total ASMs (bil)	68.9	70.2	276.9	278.2

Amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.

Notes:

1.	The Company is unable to reconcile certain forward-looking information to GAAP as the nature or amount of net special items cannot be determined at this time.
2.	The 2023 operating net special items principally includes one-time charges resulting from the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement with the Company’s mainline pilots.
