AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · American Airlines (AAL)

American Airlines posts $14.0 billion Q4 revenue but net income falls 83%

Mixed Impact 4 of 5 earnings Written later

American Airlines reported fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $14.0 billion, up 2.5% from a year earlier, while GAAP net income fell to $99 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, from $590 million, or $0.84. The company guided to full-year 2026 adjusted EPS of $1.70 to $2.70 but expects a first-quarter 2026 adjusted loss of $0.10 to $0.50 per diluted share, citing Winter Storm Fern, which shareholders should weigh against the stronger revenue outlook.

Key points

  • Q4 2025 total operating revenues were $14.0 billion, up 2.5%; full-year revenue was $54.6 billion, up 0.8%
  • Q4 2025 GAAP net income was $99 million ($0.15 per diluted share) versus $590 million ($0.84) a year earlier; full-year net income was $111 million ($0.17)
  • Q1 2026 guidance calls for total revenue up 7.0% to 10.0% and an adjusted loss of $0.10 to $0.50 per diluted share; the storm has caused more than 9,000 flight cancellations
  • The company reduced total debt by $2.1 billion in 2025 to $36.5 billion and expects free cash flow of more than $2 billion in 2026
