In 2022, fuel prices also surged after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but reverted to their pre - conflict levels shortly thereafter

 

 

Privileged and Confidential | Prepared at Request of Counsel | Preliminary and Subject to Material Revision 23 • Historically, in periods of rapidly rising fuel prices, the industry will generally react quickly and begin to raise fare lev els – However, a lag exists between rapid increases in fuel price and the realization of higher yields and incremental revenue production – A significant industry - wide fare increase (or series of increases) will generally slow demand for some period of time, which causes inventory management systems to release inventory at lower price points. Inventory opening offsets the increase in filed fares in the short run – Over time, as the market absorbs fare increases and industry capacity begins to moderate or decline, the cumulative impact of fare increases will begin to lever and improve revenue performance • Expectations around the duration of elevated fuel price, number of successful fare increases, and magnitude of industry capacity reductions impact both the lag time and level of fuel price offset for the industry • As the price of oil began to rapidly increase in late - February, the industry cleared a broad $10 fare increase – Although exceptions exist, this action covered the majority of domestic markets and all fare types Fuel Surge – Industry Impact

 

 

Privileged and Confidential | Prepared at Request of Counsel | Preliminary and Subject to Material Revision 24 • Spirit’s actions were structured to protect robust booking volume and yield improvements for spring break • Since the increase, the Company has made a limited number of competitive adjustments but are holding floor increases across the vast majority of markets • Spirit enacted an additional $10 system - wide increase today (1) for all bookings past mid - April and will continue to react to industry initiatives – Illustratively, for the month of April, a $20 fare increase across all bookings would offset jet fuel price increases of up to 70% from forecasted levels • Whether the price of fuel declines rapidly or slowly over time, Spirit’s pre - planned capacity reductions will help offset the impact near - term relative to other carriers – If fuel price declines rapidly, fare levels will be in a better position approaching the summer peak – If fuel price remains elevated for an extended period and a significant reduction in industry capacity is required, Spirit’s flexibility due to bankruptcy would put the airline in an advantaged position to reduce capacity and fixed costs Fuel Surge – Spirit Reaction 1.
