(a) Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of American Airlines Group Inc. (we, us, our and similar terms, or AAG) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of AAG and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. AAG’s principal subsidiary is American Airlines, Inc. (American). All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

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 preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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 most significant areas of judgment relate to passenger revenue recognition, the loyalty program, deferred tax assets, as well as pension and retiree medical and other postretirement benefits.

(b) Labor Relations

In July 2024, American and the Association of Professional Flight Attendants (APFA), the union representing our approximately 27,000 mainline flight attendants, reached a new tentative collective bargaining agreement. The tentative agreement is subject to approval by the APFA Board of Directors and is subject to ratification by American’s flight attendants through a vote that is presently expected to close in September 2024. Upon flight attendant ratification, the ratified agreement will include a provision for a one-time payment of approximately $500 million and provisions for other benefit-related items. Since the tentative agreement has not yet been ratified and there is uncertainty about the outcome of that process, we have not accrued for the one-time payment or for the other benefit-related expenses as of June 30, 2024.
