Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and special Items
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) is a non-GAAP financial measure. We believes this measure allows investors to better
understand the financial performance of the company by presenting earnings from our business operations without including the effects of capital structure, tax rates,
depreciation, and amortization. We further adjusted EBITDA to account for the impact of special items which are unusual or infrequent in nature.
JetBlue has not reconciled its Adjusted EBITDA planning assumptions to net income because net income (loss) is not accessible on forward-looking basis. Items that
impact net income (loss) are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, a reconciliation to net income (loss) is not available
without unreasonable effort.
