• In the fourth quarter of 2019, Air Canada reported EBITDA of $665 million compared to fourth quarter 2018 EBITDA of $619 million, an
increase of $46 million or 7 per cent. As discussed above, the fourth quarter of 2019 was impacted by two one-time items which had the effect of
reducing EBITDA by approximately $60 million.
• In the fourth quarter of 2019, on a capacity increase of 3.3 per cent, record system passenger revenues of $3.975 billion increased $199 million
or 5.3 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2018. The increase in system passenger revenues was driven by traffic growth of 2.9 per cent and a
yield improvement of 2.3 per cent.
• In the fourth quarter of 2019, operating expenses of $4.284 billion increased $236 million or 6 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2018. Air
Canada's CASM increased 2.5 per cent from the fourth quarter of 2018. The airline's adjusted CASM increased 5.5 per cent over the fourth
quarter of 2018.
• Record fourth quarter 2019 net income amounted to $152 million or $0.56 per diluted share compared to a fourth quarter 2018 net loss of $360
million or $1.33 per diluted share. The fourth quarter of 2019 included foreign exchange gains of $92 million while the fourth quarter of 2018
included foreign exchange losses of $444 million.
• Air Canada reported adjusted net income (1) of $47 million or $0.17 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2019 compared to adjusted net
income of $55 million or $0.20 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2018.
• In 2019, on a capacity increase of 1.8 per cent, record system passenger revenues of $17.232 billion increased $1.071 billion or 6.6 per cent
from 2018. The increase in system passenger revenues was driven by a yield improvement of 4.6 per cent and traffic growth of 1.9 per cent.
System yield improved due to the constrained capacity resulting from the grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft as well as a generally
improved pricing environment, mainly in North America. The yield increases also included additional revenues from Aeroplan flight redemptions
and other revenues subsequent to the Aeroplan acquisition.

news release dated October 29, 2019.
• Full year 2019 net income amounted to $1.476 billion or $5.44 per diluted share compared to 2018 net income of $37 million or $0.13 per
diluted share. The year 2019 included foreign exchange gains of $499 million while 2018 included foreign exchange losses of $578 million
Executive Commentary
"I am very pleased to report strong fourth quarter and full year results for 2019, a year in which we generated record revenues in excess of
$19 billion and reached record levels of unrestricted liquidity, despite the loss to Air Canada of approximately 25 per cent of our
narrow-body fleet for most of the year following the worldwide grounding of the Boeing 737 MAX. These results underscore the airline's
ability to overcome major challenges as well as the deep commitment of Air Canada's 37,000 strong team, which took care of our
customers under extremely complicated operational circumstances. With this backdrop, I am especially proud that we were able to deliver
on the outlook we provided for key financial metrics for the year. Our discipline was rewarded by an 87 per cent return on our shares in
2019, which, when added to our returns over the previous nine years, made Air Canada the top performing stock on the TSX for the past
decade with a 3,575 per cent return," said President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada.

Delta comes in at the No. 1 U.S. airline, and No. 39 among the 1,000 companies observed in five key categories: shareholders, employees, customers, community,
and planet. Barron’s relied on Calvert Research and Management to analyze the 1,000 largest U.S. public companies by market value. To calculate the ratings,

Forbes names Delta (USA) a ‘Top Workplace for Diversity
10
Forbes has honored Delta as one of its 2020 Best Workplaces for Diversity, a select list of the 100 top employers - one of only three airlines ranked.
Forbes composes the list based on research by Statista, an independent market research firm. Delta's commitment to diversity and inclusion takes many
forms. Recently at CES, Delta announced partnerships with the Society of Women Engineers and Girls Who Code as part of the airline's efforts to seek
diversity, create equity and increase representation in STEM fields. The partnerships will further Delta's strategy of promoting gender diversity by
removing barriers, creating hiring pipelines and supporting community programs. Delta recognizes that reflecting and respecting the world are core to
its mission of connecting people. Delta focuses on strategic initiatives through community programs, a robust 20-year supplier diversity program, and
internal and external pipelines that aim to remove economic, racial and gender barriers. Delta's commitment to equity is supported by achieving 100%
pay parity and tracking progress toward long-term goals of increasing gender and racial diversity. Delta's Diversity & Inclusion Council ensures these
goals are embedded throughout the organization by evaluating corporate and divisional metrics, programs and proposals. This is the third year the list
has been published. Statista conducted an independent survey from a representative sample of 60,000 employees working for companies employing at
least 1,000 people in the U.S. Respondents were asked questions regarding the topics of age, gender equality, ethnicity, disability, LGBTQ+ and general
diversity concerning their employer.

MOL (Japan) and DSME Obtain AIP for Design of FSRU "Cryo-Powered
Regas" System
25
Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. and Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering Co., Ltd have jointly obtained "Approval in Principle"
from Bureau Veritas for the design of a new cold energy use regasification system, "Cryo-Powered Regas", for Floating Storage and
Regasification Unit. MOL and DSME have been jointly developing this "Cryo-Powered Regas" system to enhance fuel consumption
efficiency and reduce CO2 emission of FSRU. The "Cryo-Powered Regas" system, which MOL and DSME obtained the AIP this
time, will enable to utilize the LNG cold energy as power generation by adopting the Organic Rankine Cycle in the FSRU
regasification process. The system is targeted to reduce the fuel gas consumption and CO2 emission for FSRU approximately 50%
by recovering approx. 70% of the power consumption in the regasification process at maximum rated regas flow rate. Organic
Rankine Cycle system itself is a proven technology that has been utilized in multiple onshore LNG terminals for around 40 years.
This will be however the world's first case to adopt the system for FSRU.
