Allegiant Travel Company reported its financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revealing a decline in both revenue and profitability compared to the previous fiscal period. Total operating revenues for Q3 2024 were $562.2 million, a slight decrease of 0.6% from $565.4 million in Q3 2023. Passenger revenues fell to $489.0 million, down 5.3% from $516.3 million in the prior year, attributed to a 9.6% decrease in average scheduled service base fare and a 0.9% decline in passengers flown.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, operating revenues totaled $1.884 billion, down from $1.899 billion in the same period of 2023. The company reported a net loss of $36.8 million for Q3 2024, compared to a loss of $25.1 million in Q3 2023. The nine-month net loss was $24.0 million, a significant decline from a net income of $119.6 million in the same period last year. Earnings per share for Q3 2024 were $(2.05), compared to $(1.44) in Q3 2023.
Operating expenses for Q3 2024 increased to $588.5 million from $583.2 million in Q3 2023, driven by higher salaries and benefits expenses, which rose by 19.8% year-over-year. Special charges of $8.8 million were recorded in Q3 2024, including $4.2 million for accelerated depreciation on retired airframes and $3.4 million related to organizational restructuring.
The company faced challenges from external factors, including flight cancellations due to a global outage and hurricanes, which impacted passenger revenue. Despite these challenges, Allegiant reported a 27.4% increase in third-party products revenue, driven by a rise in co-brand credit card revenues.
Strategically, Allegiant took delivery of its first 737 MAX aircraft in September 2024, with plans for further aircraft acquisitions. The company has identified 21 aging Airbus airframes for early retirement, with six retired in 2024. The Sunseeker Resort, which opened in December 2023, has faced lower occupancy rates and significant losses due to hurricanes.
