<p class="has-drop-cap">Delta Air Lines (NYSE: DAL) has reported its <a aria-label="financial results for the June quarter of 2024 (opens in a new tab)" href="https://ir.delta.com/news/news-details/2024/Delta-Air-Lines-Announces-June-Quarter-2024-Financial-Results/default.aspx" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">financial results for the June quarter of 2024</a>, showcasing a mixed performance. The company achieved a record operating revenue of $16.7 billion, with an adjusted figure of $15.4 billion, reflecting a 5.4% increase from the same quarter last year. <br><br>The operating income stood at $2.3 billion, translating to an operating margin of 14.7%. The pre-tax income was $2 billion, yielding a pre-tax margin of 13.0%. <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="deco-link">Earnings per share (EPS)</a> were $2.36, aligning with the company’s strong financial health and operational prowess.</p>
<p>Delta’s operational excellence is further highlighted by its cash flow metrics. The operating cash flow for the quarter was $2.5 billion, with free cash flow reaching $1.3 billion. <br><br>The airline also made significant strides in debt reduction, with payments on debt and finance lease obligations amounting to $1.4 billion, bringing the total debt and finance lease obligations down to $18.0 billion. The company’s adjusted debt to EBITDAR ratio improved to 2.8x from 3.0x at the end of 2023, demonstrating a solid balance sheet and financial stability.</p>
<h3 id="delta-airlines-june-quarter-eps-in-line-miss-on-revenue-expectations">Delta Airlines June Quarter EPS in Line, Miss on Revenue Expectations</h3>
<p>When comparing Delta’s current performance to market expectations, the results are mixed. Analysts had anticipated an EPS of $2.36, which Delta matched precisely. <br><br>The company’s reported revenue of $16.7 billion exceeded the expected $15.47 billion, showcasing Delta’s ability to surpass revenue forecasts significantly. Despite this, the GAAP EPS came in at $2.01, below the expected $2.36, indicating some areas where the company fell short of market projections.</p>
<p>The adjusted figures provide a clearer picture of Delta’s performance. The adjusted operating revenue of $15.4 billion was slightly below the expected $15.47 billion, but the adjusted EPS of $2.36 met expectations. <br><br>This alignment with market projections on an adjusted basis suggests that Delta’s core operations are strong, even if some GAAP metrics were impacted by non-operational factors such as mark-to-market adjustments on investments and losses on debt extinguishment.</p>
