Frontier Airlines Updates Third Fiscal Quarter Earnings Estimate


DENVER (Jan. 24, 2002) - Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT) today provided additional guidance for its earnings per share (EPS) estimate for its fiscal third quarter ended Dec. 31, 2001. The airline had previously estimated that, including Federal government grant monies, it would breakeven in its fiscal third quarter. The airline today revised that estimate, stating that, including Federal grant monies, it anticipates it will post a profit during its fiscal third quarter. Excluding Federal grant monies and any other non-recurring items, the airline estimates its earnings per share (EPS) will fall within the range of ($0.05) to ($0.10) loss per share. The Company plans to release its actual fiscal third quarter results on Feb. 5, 2002 after normal and after-hours trading sessions.

President and Chief Operating Officer Jeff Potter said, “Our passenger traffic and future bookings have rebounded more quickly than we anticipated, and they have returned at higher fare levels than we anticipated based on the deeply discounted fare environment the industry experienced during the December quarter. We are extremely pleased that we have been able to maintain Frontier’s growth plans, which include taking delivery of our thirtieth aircraft and opening three new Frontier markets next month.”
