CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, this Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are those that predict or describe future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. You can generally identify forward-looking statements as statements containing the words "believe," "expect," "will," "anticipate," "intend," "estimate," "project," "assume" or other similar expressions, although not all forward-looking statements contain these identifying words. Forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical experience or the Company’s present expectations. Some of the things that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations are:

the competitive environment in our industry;
changes in our operating costs, primarily fuel, which can be volatile;
general economic conditions, including the impact of those conditions on customer travel behavior;
our ability to meet our cost reduction goals;
operational disruptions;
an aircraft accident or incident;
labor disputes and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel;
the concentration of our revenue from a few key markets;
actual or threatened terrorist attacks, global instability and potential U.S. military actions or activities;
our reliance on automated systems and the risks associated with changes made to those systems;
changes in laws and regulations.

You should not place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements because the matters they describe are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our forward-looking statements are based on the information currently available to us and speak only as of the date on which this report was filed with the SEC. We expressly disclaim any obligation to issue any updates or revisions to our forward-looking statements, even if subsequent events cause our expectations to change regarding the matters discussed in those statements. Over time, our actual results, performance or achievements will likely differ from the anticipated results, performance or achievements that are expressed or implied by our forward-looking statements, and such differences might be significant and materially adverse to our shareholders. For a discussion of these and other risk factors, see Item 1A. "Risk Factors” of the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Please consider our forward-looking statements in light of those risks as you read this report.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

NOTE 1. GENERAL AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Alaska Air Group, Inc. (Air Group or the Company) and its subsidiaries, Alaska Airlines, Inc. (Alaska) and Horizon Air Industries, Inc. (Horizon), through which the Company conducts substantially all of its operations. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information. Consistent with these requirements, this Form 10-Q does not include all the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. As a result, this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 31, 2014, as well as the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. The adjustments made were of a normal recurring nature.

In preparing these statements, the Company is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Due to seasonal variations in the demand for air travel, the volatility of aircraft fuel prices, changes in global economic conditions, changes in the competitive environment, and other factors, operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of operating results for the entire year.

NOTE 3. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

Fuel Hedge Contracts

The Company’s operations are inherently dependent upon the price and availability of aircraft fuel. To manage economic risks associated with fluctuations in aircraft fuel prices, the Company periodically enters into call options for crude oil and swap agreements for jet fuel refining margins.

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding fuel hedge contracts covering 264 million gallons of crude oil that will be settled from April 2014 to March 2016. Refer to the contractual obligations and commitments section of Item 2 for further information.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company has interest rate swap agreements with a third party designed to hedge the volatility of the underlying variable interest rate in the Company's aircraft lease agreements for six Boeing 737-800 aircraft. The agreements stipulate that the Company pay a fixed interest rate over the term of the contract and receive a floating interest rate. All significant terms of the swap agreement match the terms of the lease agreements, including interest-rate index, rate reset dates, termination dates and underlying notional values. The agreements expire from February 2020 through March 2021 to coincide with the lease termination dates.

The amounts shown as recognized in aircraft rent for cash flow hedges (interest rate swaps) represent the realized losses transferred out of AOCL to aircraft rent. The amounts shown as recognized in OCI are prior to the losses recognized in the income statement as aircraft rent during the period. The Company expects $7 million to be reclassified from OCI to aircraft rent within the next twelve months.

Credit Risk and Collateral

The Company is exposed to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to these derivative instruments. To mitigate exposure, the Company periodically reviews the counterparties' nonperformance by monitoring the absolute exposure levels and credit ratings. The Company maintains security agreements with a number of its counterparties which may require the Company to post collateral if the fair value of the selected derivative instruments fall below specified mark-to-market thresholds. The posted collateral does not offset the fair value of the derivative instruments and is included in "Prepaid expenses and other current assets" on the consolidated balance sheet.

The Company posted collateral of $8 million and $7 million as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The collateral was provided to one counterparty associated with the net liability position of the interest rate swap agreements, offset by the net asset position of the fuel hedge contracts under a master netting arrangement.

The Company uses the market and income approach to determine the fair value of marketable securities. U.S. government securities are Level 1 as the fair value is based on quoted prices in active markets. Foreign government bonds, asset-back securities, mortgage-back securities, corporate notes and bonds, and municipal securities are Level 2 as the fair value is based on industry standard valuation models that are calculated based on observable inputs such as quoted interest rates, yield curves, credit ratings of the security and other observable market information.

The Company uses the market approach and the income approach to determine the fair value of derivative instruments. Fuel hedge contracts that are not traded on a public exchange are Level 2 as the fair value is primarily based on inputs which are readily available in active markets or can be derived from information available in active markets. The fair value for call options is determined utilizing an option pricing model based on inputs that are readily available in active markets, or can be derived from information available in active markets. In addition, the fair value considers the exposure to credit losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties. The fair value of jet fuel refining margins (fuel hedge contracts) is determined based on inputs readily available in public markets and provided by brokers who regularly trade these contracts.

swap agreements are Level 2 as the fair value of these contracts is determined based on the difference between the fixed interest rate in the agreements and the observable LIBOR-based forward interest rates at period end, multiplied by the total notional value.

The Company has no financial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2014.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

The Company used the following methods and assumptions to determine the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value as described below.

Cash and Cash Equivalents: Carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

Debt: The carrying amount of the Company's variable-rate debt approximates fair values. For fixed-rate debt, the Company uses the income approach to determine the estimated fair value, by using discounted cash flow using borrowing rates for comparable debt over the weighted life of the outstanding debt. The estimated fair value of the fixed-rate debt is Level 3 as certain inputs used are unobservable.

Lease Commitments

At March 31, 2014, the Company had lease contracts for 59 aircraft, which have remaining noncancelable lease terms ranging from 2014 to 2021. Of these aircraft, 14 are non-operating (i.e. not in the Company's fleet) and subleased to third-party carriers. The majority of airport and terminal facilities are also leased. Rent expense for aircraft and facility leases was $75 million and $70 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Aircraft Commitments
 
As of March 31, 2014, the Company is committed to purchasing 65 B737 aircraft (28 B737-900ER aircraft and 37 B737 MAX aircraft), with deliveries in 2014 through 2022. In addition, the Company has options to purchase an additional 62 B737 aircraft and seven Q400 aircraft.

Capacity Purchase Agreements (CPAs)
 
At March 31, 2014, Alaska had CPAs with three carriers, including the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon. Horizon sells 100% of its capacity to Alaska under a CPA, which is eliminated upon consolidation. In addition, Alaska has CPAs with SkyWest Airlines, Inc. (SkyWest) to fly certain routes and Peninsula Airways, Inc. (PenAir) to fly one route in the state of Alaska. Under these agreements, Alaska pays the third-party carriers an amount which is based on a determination of their cost of operating those flights and other factors. The costs paid by Alaska to Horizon are based on similar data and are intended to approximate market rates for those services. Future payments (excluding those due to Horizon) are based on contractually required minimum levels of flying by the third-party carriers, which could differ materially due to variable payments based on actual levels of flying and certain costs associated with operating flights, such as fuel.

Engine Maintenance
 
The Company has a power-by-the-hour (PBH) maintenance agreement for some of the B737-700 and B737-900 engines. This agreement transfers risk to a third-party service provider and fixes the amount the Company pays per flight hour in exchange for maintenance and repairs under a predefined maintenance program. Future payments are based on minimum flight hours.

NOTE 9. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Dividends

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company declared and paid a quarterly dividend of $0.25 per share, or $17 million.

Common Stock Repurchase

In September 2012, the Board of Directors authorized a $250 million share repurchase program, which does not have an expiration date, but is expected to be completed in 2014.

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing net income by the average common shares outstanding plus additional common shares that would have been outstanding assuming the exercise of in-the-money stock options and restricted stock units, using the treasury-stock method. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, anti-dilutive shares excluded from the calculation of EPS were not material.

NOTE 10. OPERATING SEGMENT INFORMATION
 
Air Group has two operating airlines - Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air. Each is a regulated airline with separate management teams primarily in operational roles. Horizon sells 100% of its capacity to Alaska under a CPA, which is eliminated upon consolidation. In addition, Alaska has CPAs with SkyWest to fly certain routes and PenAir to fly one route in the state of Alaska. The Company attributes revenue between Mainline and Regional based on the coupon fare in effect on the date of issuance relative to the origin and destination of each flight segment. To manage the two operating airlines and the revenues and expenses associated with the CPAs, management views the business in three operating segments.
Alaska Mainline - Flying Boeing 737 jets and all associated revenues and costs.
Alaska Regional - Alaska's CPAs with Horizon, SkyWest and PenAir. In this segment, Alaska Regional records actual on-board passenger revenue, less costs such as fuel, distribution costs, and payments made to Horizon, SkyWest and PenAir under the respective CPAs. Additionally, Alaska Regional includes an allocation of corporate overhead such as IT, finance, and other administrative costs incurred by Alaska on behalf of Horizon.
Horizon - Horizon operates turboprop Q400 aircraft. All of Horizon's capacity is sold to Alaska under a CPA.  Expenses include those typically borne by regional airlines such as crew costs, ownership costs, and maintenance costs. The results of Horizon's operations are eliminated upon consolidation.
Additionally, the following table reports “Air Group adjusted,” which is not a measure determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company's chief operating decision-makers and others in management use this measure to evaluate operational performance and determine resources allocations. Adjustments are further explained below in reconciling to consolidated GAAP results. Operating segment information is as follows (in millions):

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
OVERVIEW
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand the Company, our segment operations and our present business environment. MD&A is provided as a supplement to – and should be read in conjunction with – our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. All statements in the following discussion that are not statements of historical information or descriptions of current accounting policy are forward-looking statements. Please consider our forward-looking statements in light of the risks referred to in this report’s introductory cautionary note and the risks mentioned in Item 1A. "Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. This overview summarizes the MD&A, which includes the following sections:
 
First Quarter Review—highlights from the first quarter of 2014 outlining some of the major events that happened during the period and how they affected our financial performance.
 
Results of Operations—an in-depth analysis of our revenues by segment and our expenses from a consolidated perspective for the three months ended March 31, 2014. To the extent material to the understanding of segment profitability, we more fully describe the segment expenses per financial statement line-item. Financial and statistical data is also included here. This section includes forward-looking statements regarding our view of the remainder of 2014
  
Liquidity and Capital Resources—an overview of our financial position, analysis of cash flows, and relevant contractual obligations and commitments.

FIRST QUARTER REVIEW

Our consolidated pretax income was $152 million during the first quarter of 2014, compared to $59 million in the first quarter of 2013. The increase of $93 million was mainly due to increased revenues of $89 million, decreased aircraft fuel expense of $23 million, and non-operating income of $11 million in the current period compared to non-operating expense of $5 million in the prior period. These improvements were partially offset by increased non-fuel operating expenses of $35 million. The increase in revenue was primarily due to due to a 4.1% increase in traffic and 2.2% higher ticket yields.

See “Results of Operations” below for further discussion of changes in revenues and operating expenses and our reconciliation of non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Operations Performance

During the first quarter, both Alaska and Horizon continued their strong on-time performance, reporting that 87.1% and 84.7% of their flights arrived on time, respectively. For the twelve months ended February 2014, Alaska maintained its ranking as the top carrier among the nine largest U.S. airlines for on-time performance, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Update on Labor Negotiations

In February 2014, Alaska Airlines' flight attendants, represented by the Association of Flight Attendants (AFA), rejected a tentative five-year agreement. The current agreement was amendable in May 2012 and we have been in negotiations with the AFA since November 2011. We expect to reopen negotiations through mediation in May 2014.

In April 2014, Alaska Airlines' clerical, office, and passenger service employees (COPS), represented by the International Association of Machinist and Aerospace Workers (IAM), ratified a new five-year contract. The contract was approved by 62% of those who voted and included pay increases and improved productivity commitments.

In April 2014, Horizon Air's dispatchers, represented by the Transport Workers Union (TWU), ratified a new four-year contract. The contract was approved by 82% of those who voted.

New Markets

During the first quarter of 2014 we began Q400 service from Anchorage to Fairbanks and Kodiak in the state of Alaska. We have also recently announced Mainline service to New Orleans, Tampa, Detroit, Baltimore, and Albuquerque from Seattle, as well as Regional service to Kalispell from Portland. Additionally, we will begin seasonal nonstop service between Seattle and Cancun, Mexico, pending approval by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Mexico Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil.

Capital Allocation

During the first quarter of 2014, we paid cash dividends of $17 million and we repurchased 352,851 shares of our common stock for $30 million under the $250 million repurchase program authorized by our Board of Directors in September 2012. We expect the repurchase program to be completed in 2014. Since 2007, we have repurchased 21 million shares of common stock under such programs for $433 million for an average price of $20 per share. During the month of April, we repurchased 97,282 shares of our common stock for $9 million, resulting in 68,718,515 shares outstanding at April 30, 2014. For 2014, we expect to deploy at least $350 million through a combination of dividends and share repurchases.

Outlook

Our April load factor was flat, compared to April 2013, and our advance bookings suggest our load factors for May and June will be flat and up a point, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2013. This is on an expected ~ 4.5% increase in capacity for the second quarter. In addition to our own capacity growth, competitive capacity is expected to be up 8% in the second quarter, which will pressure yields and load factors. Throughout 2014, current airline schedules indicate that competitive capacity will be up 7% and 8% for the third and fourth quarters, respectively. The largest competitive capacity is coming from Delta Air Lines, which is much larger than our company and has considerable financial resources. Delta is expected to have approximately 150 daily competing flights in and out of Seattle by the end of 2014, compared to 64 as of March 31, 2014. We believe we are well positioned to compete against these incursions because of our low cost structure, award-winning service, loyal customer base, and our ability to redeploy capacity effectively in order to match demand and optimize revenue. We currently expect our unit costs to be higher in the second quarter compared to 2013, and are now targeting flat unit costs for the full year of 2014 compared to 2013.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2014 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2013

Our consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $94 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, compared to net income of $37 million, or $0.51 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013. Significant items impacting the comparability between the periods are as follows:

Both periods include adjustments to reflect the timing of unrealized mark-to-market adjustments related to our fuel hedge positions. For the first quarter of 2014, we recognized mark-to-market unrealized gains of $8 million ($5 million after tax, or $0.07 per diluted share) compared to unrealized losses of $12 million ($7 million after tax, or $0.11 per diluted share) in the first quarter of 2013.


ADJUSTED (NON-GAAP) RESULTS AND PER-SHARE AMOUNTS

We believe disclosure of earnings excluding the impact of mark-to-market gains or losses or other individual revenues or expenses is useful information to investors because:

We believe it is the basis by which we are evaluated by industry analysts;

By eliminating fuel expense and certain special items from our unit metrics, we believe that we have better visibility into the results of our non-fuel continuing operations.  Our industry is highly competitive and is characterized by high fixed costs, so even a small reduction in non-fuel operating costs can result in a significant improvement in operating results. In addition, we believe that all domestic carriers are similarly impacted by changes in jet fuel costs over the long run, so it is important for management (and thus investors) to understand the impact of (and trends in) company-specific cost drivers such as labor rates and productivity, airport costs, maintenance costs, etc., which are more controllable by management;

CASM excluding fuel and certain special items is one of the most important measures used by management and by the Air Group Board of Directors in assessing quarterly and annual cost performance;

Our results excluding fuel expense and certain special items serve as the basis for our various employee incentive plans, thus the information allows investors to better understand the changes in variable incentive pay expense in our consolidated statements of operations; and

It is useful to monitor performance without these items as it improves a reader’s ability to compare our results to those of other airlines.

Although we are presenting these non-GAAP amounts for the reasons above, investors and other readers should not necessarily conclude these amounts are non-recurring, infrequent, or unusual in nature.

Excluding the impact of mark-to-market fuel hedge adjustments, our adjusted consolidated net income for the first quarter of 2014 was $89 million, or $1.28 per diluted share, compared to an adjusted consolidated net income of $44 million, or $0.62 per diluted share, in the first quarter of 2013.

Passenger Revenue – Mainline

Mainline passenger revenue for the first quarter of 2014 increased by 7% due to a 4.1% increase in capacity and a 3.2% increase in PRASM compared to 2013. The increase in capacity was driven by the annualization of new routes added to expand our service in Seattle, San Diego, Anchorage, and Portland. The increase in PRASM was driven by a 3.4% increase in ticket yield partially offset by a 0.3 point decrease in load factor compared to the prior-year quarter. Displaced passengers from other airlines due to irregular weather and revenue allocated from Regional increased PRASM by approximately 1%.

Passenger Revenue – Regional

Regional passenger revenue increased by $4 million, or 2%, compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to a 9.9% increase in capacity, partially offset by a 6.8% decrease in PRASM. The decrease in PRASM is due to a decrease in yield of 5.4%, and a decrease in load factor of 1.2 points. The decline in yield was driven mostly by a change in revenue allocation between Mainline and Regional service because of certain industry pricing changes. Additionally, the average trip length for our Regional flights increased 2.9%, which also put downward pressure on yields.

Other – Net

Other - net revenue increased $29 million, or 22%, from the first quarter of 2013. Mileage plan revenue increased $19 million compared to the first quarter of 2013, due to an increase in miles sold, an increase in cash received per mile, and an increase in the percentage of cash proceeds allocated to the marketing deliverables under the affinity card agreement, which was modified in July 2013. Additionally, bags fees and ticket change fees are up 19% and 11%, respectively, due to changes in our fee structure that took effect in November 2013.

OPERATING EXPENSES

Total operating expenses increased $12 million, or 1%, compared to the first quarter of 2013. We believe it is useful to summarize operating expenses as follows, which is consistent with the way expenses are reported internally and evaluated by management:

Wages increased 9% with a 3.1% increase in FTEs. The annualization of the new agreement ratified by Alaska Pilot's in July 2013 and the Alaska COPS contract that was ratified in April 2014, and effective January 1, 2014, led to increased wage rates, while FTEs increased across most work groups compared to the prior year due to flight activity growth. Additionally, late last year we started converting one of our work groups from contractors to employees.

Pension expense decreased 85%, compared to the same period in the prior year. The decline is largely due to the improved funded status of the plan and the freezing of plan benefits for our non-union employees beginning January 1, 2014.

Variable Incentive Pay

Variable incentive pay increased $4 million, or 19% compared to 2013. With our first quarter results, we are exceeding our incentive plan financial goals by more than we were at this time last year.

Aircraft Fuel

Aircraft fuel expense includes both raw fuel expense (as defined below) plus the effect of mark-to-market adjustments to our fuel hedge portfolio included in our consolidated statement of operations as the value of that portfolio increases and decreases. Our aircraft fuel expense is very volatile, even between quarters, because it includes these gains or losses in the value of the underlying instrument as crude oil prices and refining margins increase or decrease. Raw fuel expense is defined as the price that we generally pay at the airport, or the “into-plane” price, including taxes and fees. Raw fuel prices are impacted by world oil prices and refining costs, which can vary by region in the U.S.  Raw fuel expense approximates cash paid to suppliers and does not reflect the effect of our fuel hedges.

Aircraft fuel expense decreased $23 million, or 6% compared to 2013. The elements of the change are illustrated in the following table:

The raw fuel price per gallon decreased 6.2% as a result of lower West Coast jet fuel prices. West Coast jet fuel prices are impacted by both the price of crude oil, as well as refining margins associated with the conversion of crude oil to jet fuel. The decrease in raw fuel price per gallon during the first quarter of 2014 was due to a 38.9% decrease in refining margins, partially offset by higher crude oil prices of 4.4%, as compared to the prior year.
 

24



We also evaluate economic fuel expense, which we define as raw fuel expense adjusted for the cash we receive from, or pay to, hedge counterparties for hedges that settle during the period, and for the premium expense that we paid for those contracts. A key difference between aircraft fuel expense and economic fuel expense is the timing of gain or loss recognition on our hedge portfolio. When we refer to economic fuel expense, we include gains and losses only when they are realized for those contracts that were settled during the period based on their original contract terms.  We believe this is the best measure of the effect that fuel prices are currently having on our business because it most closely approximates the net cash outflow associated with purchasing fuel for our operations. Accordingly, many industry analysts evaluate our results using this measure, and it is the basis for most internal management reporting and incentive pay plans.

We recognized losses of $18 million for hedges that settled during the first quarter of 2014, compared to losses of $12 million in 2013.  These amounts represent the net cash paid including the premium expense recognized for those hedges.

Aircraft Maintenance

Aircraft maintenance expense decreased by $15 million, or 23%, compared to the first quarter of 2013. In the prior year, we incurred impairment charges of $6 million as we modified one of our power-by-the-hour (PBH) contracts and removed 12 B737 engines from the contract. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2014 our Q400 fleet had seven fewer engine events than in the same period of the prior year.

Landing Fees and Other Rentals

Landing fees and other rentals increased $9 million, or 15%, compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase is primarily due to increase in rates and volumes at Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland, and San Diego airports.

Contracted Services

Contracted services expense increased $7 million, or 13% , compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase is primarily due to an increase in CPA flying by SkyWest, as well as higher ramp handling costs.

Selling Expenses

Selling expenses increased $8 million, or 21%, compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase is due to increased promotional and advertising activity most notably in the Seattle area, and increased credit card expense associated with increased revenues.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses increased $14 million, or 21%, compared to the first quarter of 2013. The increase is due to additional professional services, IT costs, and property taxes. The additional professional services and software licenses are due to system modernization initiatives, while the increase in property taxes are due in part to our increased capital investments.

NONOPERATING INCOME (EXPENSE)

In the current year, we generated nonoperating income of $11 million compared to an expense of $5 million in the prior year period. In the current year, we recognized a gain from the sale of equity securities in an in-flight entertainment provider and stock received in connection with a bankruptcy claim. Additionally, our interest expense is $4 million lower due to lower average debt levels.

Additional Segment Information

Refer to the Notes of the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a detailed description of each segment. Below is a summary of each segment's profitability.

Alaska Mainline

Pretax profit for Alaska Mainline was $138 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $63 million in the first quarter of 2013. The $58 million increase in Mainline passenger revenue is described previously. Mainline operating expense excluding fuel increased by $29 million to $576 million in 2014 driven mainly by increased spending on IT infrastructure, increased advertising spending in the Seattle market, as well as increased landing fees and airport rents in Seattle, Los Angeles, Portland, and San Diego, partially offset by lower maintenance expenses. Economic fuel cost decreased due to lower raw fuel costs, partially offset by 3.2% increase in consumption and losses on settled hedges.

Alaska Regional

Pretax profit for Alaska Regional of $4 million in the first quarter of 2014 is consistent with the first quarter of 2013. The increased regional revenue was offset by higher expenses to support additional capacity.

Horizon

Pretax profit for Horizon was $3 million in the first quarter of 2014 compared to $4 million in the first quarter of 2013. CPA Revenues (100% of which are from Alaska and eliminated in consolidation) decreased due to lower reimbursable maintenance expenses. The $3 million decrease in Horizon's non-fuel operating expenses was driven largely by fewer engine maintenance events.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
Our primary sources of liquidity are:
 
Our existing cash and marketable securities balance of $1.4 billion, which represents 32% of trailing 12 months revenue, and our expected cash from operations; 

Our 66 unencumbered aircraft as of March 31, 2014, in our operating fleet that could be financed, if necessary;

Our combined $200 million bank line-of-credit facilities, with no outstanding borrowings.
  
During the first three months of 2014, we purchased four B737-900ER aircraft with cash on hand and made debt payments totaling $37 million. In addition, we continued to return capital to our shareholders by paying $17 million in quarterly dividends and repurchasing $30 million of our common stock.

In our cash and marketable securities portfolio, we invest only in securities that meet our overall investment policy of maintaining and securing investment principal. Our investment portfolio is managed by reputable firms that adhere to our investment policy that sets forth certain objectives, approved and prohibited investments, and duration and credit quality guidelines. Our policy and the portfolio managers are continually reviewed to ensure that the investments align with our strategy.

Given our strong financial condition, we will continue to evaluate our cash flows from operations, reinvest in the business, and allocate capital to our shareholders, while maintaining a strong liquidity position.

The following discussion summarizes the primary drivers of the increase in our cash and marketable securities balance and our expectation of future cash requirements.


ANALYSIS OF OUR CASH FLOWS
 
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
 
For the first three months of 2014, net cash provided by operating activities was $242 million, compared to $212 million during the same period in 2013. The $30 million increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash flows from passenger revenues, an increase in our advance ticket sales, and more miles sold under our mileage plan program, partially offset by increased operating expenses to support 4.6% more flying. In addition, we paid $84 million in performance based pay (PBP) during the quarter compared to $74 million last year.

We typically generate positive cash flows from operations and expect to use that cash flow to buy airplanes and capital equipment, make normal debt payments, and to return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.
 

27



Cash Used in Investing Activities
 
Cash used in investing activities was $164 million during the first three months of 2014, compared to $151 million during the same period of 2013. Our capital expenditures were $93 million in the first three months of 2014, due to the delivery of four 900ER aircraft and $9 million used in our cabin improvement project. As of March 31, 2014, we have upgraded 9 aircraft with new Recaro seats and power at every seat.

The table below reflects the full-year expectation for total capital expenditures and the additional expenditures if options were exercised. These options will be exercised only if we believe return on invested capital targets can be met.

Cash Used by Financing Activities
 
Net cash used by financing activities was $68 million during the first three months of 2014 compared to $88 million during the same period in 2013. During the first three months of 2014 we made debt payments of $37 million, stock repurchases of $30 million, and a dividend payment of $17 million.

Bank Line-of-Credit Facilities
 
We have two $100 million credit facilities. Both facilities have variable interest rates based on LIBOR plus a specified margin. One of the $100 million facilities, which expires in August 2015, is secured by aircraft. The other $100 million facility, which expires in March 2017, is secured by certain accounts receivable, spare engines, spare parts and ground service equipment.
 
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND COMMITMENTS
 
Aircraft Purchase Commitments
 
As of March 31, 2014, we have firm orders to purchase 65 aircraft. We also have options to acquire 62 additional B737s and options to acquire seven Q400s.

Future Fuel Hedge Positions

We use call options for crude oil futures and swap agreements for jet fuel refining margins to hedge against price volatility of future jet fuel consumption. We have refining margin swaps in place for approximately 50% of our second quarter 2014 estimated jet fuel purchases at an average price of 57 cents per gallon.

With call options, we benefit from a decline in crude oil prices, as there is no cash outlay other than the premiums we pay to enter into the contracts.

(b) 
For variable-rate debt, future obligations are shown above using interest rates in effect as of March 31, 2014.
(c) 
Includes minimum obligations under our long-term power-by-the-hour maintenance agreement and obligations associated with third-party CPAs with SkyWest and PenAir. Refer to the "Commitments" note in the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information.

 Credit Card Agreements
 
We have agreements with a number of credit card companies to process the sale of tickets and other services. Under these agreements, there are material adverse change clauses that, if triggered, could result in the credit card companies holding back a reserve from our credit card receivables. Under one such agreement, we could be required to maintain a reserve if our credit rating is downgraded to, or below, a rating specified by the agreement or our cash and marketable securities balance falls below $500 million. Under another such agreement, we could be required to maintain a reserve if our cash and marketable securities balance falls below $500 million. We are not currently required to maintain any reserve under these agreements, but if we were, our financial position and liquidity could be materially harmed.

Deferred Income Taxes

For federal income tax purposes, the majority of our assets are fully depreciated over a seven-year life using an accelerated depreciation method or bonus depreciation, if available. For financial reporting purposes, the majority of our assets are depreciated over 15 to 20 years to an estimated salvage value using the straight-line basis. This difference, along with other deferred liabilities and offset by deferred assets, have created a significant deferred tax liability. At some point in the future the depreciation basis will reverse, potentially resulting in an increase in income taxes paid.

Taxable income and cash taxes payable in the short term are impacted by many items, including the amount of book income generated (which can be volatile depending on revenue and fuel prices), availability of "bonus depreciation", and other legislative changes that are out of our control. We believe that we have the liquidity to make our future tax payments.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2014. For
information on our critical accounting estimates, see Item 7. "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
There have been no material changes in market risk from the information provided in Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
 
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2014, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer (collectively, our “certifying officers”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. These disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our periodic reports filed with or submitted to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, and includes, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our certifying officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our certifying officers concluded, based on their evaluation, that disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 2014.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
We made no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our internal control over financial reporting is based on the 1992 framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO Framework). We will begin migrating to the 2013 COSO Framework in the second quarter of 2014.

PART II

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
We are a party to routine litigation matters incidental to our business. Management believes the ultimate disposition of these matters is not likely to materially affect our financial position or results of operations. This forward-looking statement is based on management’s current understanding of the relevant law and facts, and it is subject to various contingencies, including the potential costs and risks associated with litigation and the actions of judges and juries.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes to the risk factors affecting our business, financial condition or future results from those set forth in Item 1A."Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. However, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in such section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
