    Ryan Capozzi's questions to Sun Country Airlines Holdings (SNCY) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Ryan Capozzi asked if there was a path to margin expansion in the second half of the year as the business mix shifts. He also inquired about the expected dynamic between load factor and yield as scheduled service capacity is reduced.

    Answer

    CEO Jude Bricker answered "Absolutely" to the margin expansion question, citing the absorption of cargo growth and the ability to increase passenger fleet utilization as key drivers. He explained their strategy is to maintain high load factors by scheduling flights only where demand exists, and if demand falls, they will cut the weakest flights to protect margins.

    Ryan Capozzi's questions to SAVE leadership • Q2 2024

    Question

    Inquired about 2025 CapEx plans and liquidity targets, and asked for the best-case scenario and steps required for a return to profitability.

    Answer

    The company will provide 2025 CapEx guidance closer to year-end. A return to profitability is more than a year away and depends on overcoming 10-11 points of near-term margin headwinds (from engine issues, one-time costs, product transition), realizing the 10+ points of margin benefit from the new strategy, and a potential tailwind from a rebalancing of industry supply and demand.
