Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 12, 2024, Spirit Airlines, Inc. (the “Company” or “Spirit”) issued a press release announcing that it had filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The press release included certain preliminary unaudited results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Non-GAAP financial measures that reflect adjustments from historical financial data prepared under GAAP, including adjustments for special items, are included in the Press Release as supplemental disclosures because the Company believes they are useful indicators of the Company's operating performance for comparative purposes. These non-GAAP financial measures are well recognized performance measurements in the airline industry that are frequently used by investors, securities analysts and other interested parties in comparing the operating performance of companies in the airline industry. The non-GAAP financial measures provided have limitations as an analytical tool. Because of these limitations, non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for performance measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.
Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Exhibit 99.1 Spirit Airlines Files Form 12b-25 DANIA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 12, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Spirit Airlines, Inc. ("Spirit" or the "Company") (NYSE: SAVE) today announced that it had filed a Form 12b-25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that is expected to be available on the SEC's EDGAR filing system on Wednesday, November 13, 2024, prior to the opening of the market session. That form will contain the following disclosure: The Company is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 (the "Q3 2024 Form 10-Q") by the prescribed due date without unreasonable effort or expense. As previously disclosed, the Company has been in active and constructive discussions with holders of its senior secured notes due 2025 and convertible senior notes due 2026 (collectively, the "Noteholders") with respect to restructuring the obligations owed by the Company to the Noteholders, as well as exploring strategic alternatives and other ways to improve liquidity for the Company. The negotiations, with a supermajority of the Noteholders, have remained productive, have advanced materially and are continuing in the near term, but have also diverted significant management time and internal resources from the Company's processes for reviewing and completing its financial statements and related disclosures. If a definitive agreement with such Noteholders is reached and documented, it would be effectuated through a statutory restructuring that is not expected to impair general unsecured creditors, employees, customers, vendors, suppliers, aircraft lessors or holders of secured aircraft indebtedness, but, if effectuated, is expected to lead to the cancellation of the Company's existing equity. If a definitive agreement with the Noteholders is not reached, the Company will consider all alternatives. The Company estimates its third quarter 2024 operating margin and adjusted operating margin will each be approximately 12 percentage points lower than the operating margin and adjusted operating margin reported for the third quarter 2023 due to lower total operating revenues and higher total operating expenses. Total operating revenues are estimated to have decreased approximately $61 million compared to the third quarter 2023 primarily due to lower average yields, including the negative impact from the Company no longer charging for change and cancellation fees. Total operating expenses are estimated to have increased approximately $46 million and adjusted operating expenses are estimated to have increased approximately $52 million compared to the third quarter 2023. Total operating expenses and adjusted operating expenses are estimated to be higher year over year primarily due to an increase in aircraft rent expense, other operating expense, salaries, wages and benefits, and landing fees and other rents expense. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in aircraft fuel expense.
