Exhibit 99.1

Mesa Air Group Announces Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 Results

May 9, 2019

PHOENIX, May 9, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mesa Air Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: MESA) today reported second quarter Fiscal Year 2019 financial and operating results.

Highlights for Second Quarter Fiscal Year 2019 (ending March 31, 2019)

 

Net Income of $13.2 million or $0.38 per diluted share

 

Adjusted Net Income1 of $16.0 million or $0.46 per diluted share

 

Pre-tax income of $17.3 million compared to $3.0 million for Q2 FY 2018

 

Adjusted Pre-tax income1 of $21.0 million compared to $3.0 million for Q2 FY 2018

 

Block hours up 14.5% compared to Q2 FY 2018

 

Contract Revenue up by 8.5% compared to Q2 FY 2018

 

Extinguished existing and issued new spare engine debt at lower interest rates

Mesa’s Q2 2019 results reflect net income of $13.2 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to net income of $2.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for Q2 2018.  Excluding special items, adjusted net income1 was $16.0 million for Q2 2019, or $0.46 per diluted share, compared to $2.4 million, or $0.10 per diluted share for Q2 2018. Mesa’s Q2 2019 pre-tax income was $17.3 million, compared to $3.0 million for Q2 2018.  Excluding special items, adjusted pre-tax income was $21.0 million for Q2 2019, compared to $3.0 million for Q2 2018. In addition, Mesa’s Adjusted EBITDA1 for Q2 2019 was $53.7 million, compared to $32.0 million in Q2 2018 and Adjusted EBITDAR1 was $67.8 million, compared to $50.3 million in Q2 2018. On January 29, 2019 the company closed on a $91.2 million five-year term loan at LIBOR +3.1%. The proceeds were used to pay down existing debt at LIBOR +7.25% plus yield enhancement of 1.5%.

Mesa operated 112,030 block hours during Q2 2019, an increase of 14.5% from Q2 2018 of 97,853. Operationally, we ran a 99.6% controllable completion factor and a 97.4% total completion factor, which includes weather and other uncontrollable cancellations.  

“We continue to execute our plan of increased block hours, which contributed to our nearly six-fold increase in pre-tax earnings year-over-year.” stated Jonathan Ornstein, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We continue to make significant investments primarily in pilot training and our maintenance capabilities.”

Mike Lotz, President and Chief Financial Officer continued, “Our Q2 year to date diluted EPS of $0.92 and adjusted diluted EPS1 of $1.00 is consistent with our plan.  The decrease in diluted EPS for Q2 versus Q1 is primarily driven by the timing of heavy maintenance events. During the Quarter we finalized our purchase agreement with GECAS for ten (10) leased CRJ-700 aircraft currently operating at United and expect to finalize the financing this quarter. Upon completion of the transaction we will have reduced the number of leased aircraft with third parties to 18.”

“I am delighted to have joined Mesa and believe the company has positioned itself to be a leading U.S. regional airline, given its cost structure and improving operational performance, as evidenced by our improvement in controllable completion factor from 98.8% in Q2 2018 to 99.6% in Q2 2019,” said Brad Rich, Mesa’s recently appointed Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.  Rich previously served as Senior Vice President of United Express Operations for United Airlines and prior to that was President of SkyWest, Inc. “I look forward to working with our partners at United and American.”

Reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures

Although these financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”), certain non-GAAP financial measures may provide investors with useful information regarding the underlying business trends and performance of Mesa’s ongoing operations and may be useful for period-over-period comparisons of such operations. The tables below reflect supplemental financial data and reconciliations to GAAP financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018. Readers should consider these non-GAAP measures in addition to, not a substitute for, financial reporting measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude some, but not all items that may affect the Company’s net income. Additionally, these calculations may not be comparable with similarly titled measures of other companies.
