Evidence signals
- Operating margin compressed
Operating margin changed -2.1 percentage points from the prior annual period.
Why this surfaced
Direction threshold: more than +1 percentage point constructive; below -1 point caution. Period end 2025-12-31.
- Free cash flow was negative
Latest reported free cash flow was -$680M.
Why this surfaced

- Shareholders' equity was non-positive
Debt/equity is shown as not meaningful rather than as a negative leverage ratio.
Why this surfaced
Same-period reported shareholders' equity was zero or negative; review the balance sheet and capital structure. Period end 2025-12-31.
- 4 filing risk checks flagged
Flagged areas: Solvency & liquidity.
Why this surfaced
The full financial analysis shows each value, threshold, and sector limitation.
- Revenue was broadly stable
Latest reported annual revenue changed +0.8% from the prior reported annual observation.
Why this surfaced
Direction threshold: above +2% constructive; below -2% caution; otherwise monitor. This is not labeled one-year growth when filing periods have a gap. Period end 2025-12-31.

Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions.

Share-based compensation · 5,278 characters as filed
Share-based Compensation In May 2023, the stockholders of AAG approved the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the 2023 Plan). The 2023 Plan replaces and supersedes AAGs 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the 2013 Plan). No further awards will be granted under the 2013 Plan; however, the terms and conditions of the 2013 Plan will continue to govern any outstanding awards granted thereunder. The 2023 Plan provides that an award may be in the form of a stock option, including an incentive stock option and nonqualified stock option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance bonus award, performance stock unit, other stock or cash-based award and dividend equivalent to eligible individuals. The 2023 Plan authorizes the grant of awards for the issuance of 17.2 million shares less any shares granted under the 2013 Plan after March 22, 2023, the date the Board of Directors of AAG approved the 2023 Plan. Any shares underlying awards granted under the 2023 Plan or 2013 Plan that are forfeited, terminate or are settled in cash (in whole or in part) without the delivery of shares will again be available for grant under the 2023 Plan. Share-based compensation expense for our equity awards, including awards settled in AAG common stock or cash, was $112 million, $130 million and $102 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is included in salaries, wages and benefits on our consolidated statements of operations.

Fair value · 4,589 characters as filed
Fair Value Measurements Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis Fair value is defined as the price that would be received from the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) on the measurement date in an orderly transaction between market participants in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability. Accounting standards include disclosure requirements around fair values used for certain financial instruments and establish a fair value hierarchy. The hierarchy prioritizes valuation inputs into three levels based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market. Each fair value measurement is reported in one of three levels: Level 1 Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2 Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. When available, we use quoted market prices to determine the fair value of our financial assets. If quoted market prices are not available, we measure fair value using valuation techniques that use, when possible, current market-based or independently-sourced market parameters, such as interest rates and currency rates. We utilize the market approach to measure the fair value of our financial assets. The market approach uses prices and other …

Leases · 3,366 characters as filed
Leases We lease certain aircraft and engines, including aircraft under capacity purchase agreements. As of December 31, 2025, we operated 677 leased aircraft, including 171 aircraft leased under capacity purchase agreements, with remaining terms ranging from less than one year to approximately 13 years. At each airport where we conduct flight operations, we have agreements, generally with a governmental unit or authority, for the use of passenger, operations and baggage handling space as well as runways and taxiways. These agreements, particularly in the U.S., often contain provisions for periodic adjustments to rates and charges applicable under such agreements. These rates and charges also vary with our level of operations and the operations of the airport. Because of the variable nature of these rates, these leases are not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets as a ROU asset or a lease liability. Additionally, at our hub locations and in certain other cities we serve, we lease administrative offices, catering, cargo, training, maintenance and other facilities. The components of lease expense were as follows (in millions): Year Ended December 31, 2025 2024 2023 Operating lease cost $ 1,704 $ 1,851 $ 2,016 Finance lease cost: Amortization of assets 128 132 128 Interest on lease liabilities 48 39 45 Variable lease cost 3,395 3,075 2,720 Total net lease cost $ 5,275 $ 5,097 $ 4,909 Included in the table above are $248 million, $225 million and $274 million of lease costs …

The defined benefit pension plans provide benefits for participating employees based on years of service and average compensation for a specified period of time before retirement. Effective November 1, 2012, substantially all of our defined benefit pension plans were frozen and we began providing enhanced benefits under our defined contribution pension plans for certain employee groups.

Segment reporting · 2,041 characters as filed
Segment Disclosures Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (CODM) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our Chief Executive Officer is considered to be our CODM. We are managed as a single operating segment that provides scheduled air transportation for passengers and cargo, and includes our loyalty program. Along with our extensive domestic network, we provide international service to Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Central and South America, Europe, Qatar, China, Japan, Korea, India, Australia and New Zealand. See Note 1(m) for our passenger revenue by geographic region. Managing the business activities on a consolidated basis allows us to benefit from an integrated revenue pricing and route network that includes American and our wholly-owned and third-party regional carriers that fly under capacity purchase agreements operating as American Eagle. The flight equipment of all these carriers is combined to form one fleet that is deployed through a single route scheduling system. Our tangible assets consist primarily of flight equipment, which are mobile across geographic markets and, therefore, have not been allocated by geographic region. The measure of segment assets is reported on the balance sheet as total consolidated assets. Financial information and operational plans and forecasts are provided to and revi …

Income Taxes At December 31, 2025, we had approximately $11.9 billion of gross federal net operating losses (NOLs) and $6.0 billion of other carryforwards available to reduce future federal taxable income, of which $1.6 billion will expire beginning in 2033 if unused and $16.3 billion can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had approximately $5.0 billion of NOL carryforwards to reduce future state taxable income at December 31, 2025, which will expire in taxable years 2025 through 2045 if unused. Our ability to use our NOLs and other carryforwards depends on the amount of taxable income generated in future periods.
