Statements in this report contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which represent the Company's expectations or beliefs concerning future events. When used in this report, and in documents incorporated herein by reference, the words expects, forecasts, anticipates and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Other forward-looking statements include statements which do not relate solely to historical facts, such as, without limitation, statements which discuss the possible future effects of current known trends or uncertainties, or which indicate that the future effects of known trends or uncertainties cannot be predicted, guaranteed or assured. All forward-looking statements in this report are based on information available to the Company on the date of this report. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This discussion includes forecasts of costs per ASM, revenue performance and cash flows, each of which is a forward-looking statement. Forward looking statements are subject to a number of factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our forecasts, including the uncertain financial and business environment for the Company. These uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the struggling economy, high fuel prices, conflicts in the Middle East, the SARS outbreak and historically low fare levels. Additional information concerning these and other factors is contained in the Company's Securities and Exchange Commission Filings, including but not limited to the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Forecast 2Q03 Unit Costs
AMR Estimated Consolidated Cost per ASM (in cents)(1) Forecast
2Q03
AMR Adjusted Cost per ASM (2) 10.6 Govt grant per ASM (0.8) _____ AMR Cost per ASM 9.8 AMR Adjusted Cost per ASM Yr/Yr B/(W) 4.7%
American Estimated Mainline Operations Cost per ASM (in cents)(1) Forecast
2Q03
AA Adjusted Cost per ASM (2) (3) 10.2 Govt grant per ASM (0.8) Regional Affiliates cost per ASM (4) 1.1 _____ AA Cost per ASM 10.5 AA Adjusted Cost per ASM Yr/Yr B/(W) 4.9%
(1) The numbers presented below exclude one-time adjustments arising from recent concessionary agreements and certain other special charges that the company is expected to record in the second quarter, but is unable to quantify at this time. In total, these charges are expected to result in some increase to the company's GAAP measured CASM for the second quarter.
(2) Excludes the receipt of government reimbursement of security fees of $358 million for AMR (including $315 million for American). We believe that excluding the reimbursement of security fees provides a CASM that is more representative of ongoing costs and therefore more comparable to our historical CASM.
(3) Excludes costs of $414 million related to fixed fee per block hour agreements with Regional Affiliates (American Eagle, Inc., Executive Airlines, Inc., Trans States Airlines, Inc. and Chautauqua Airlines, Inc.). Calculated using AA mainline jet operations ASMs. Therefore both the numerator and the denominator exclude Regional Affiliates. We believe that excluding costs related to Regional Affiliates provides a CASM that is more representative of ongoing costs and therefore more comparable to American's historical CASM.
(4) Includes Regional Affiliates costs of $414 million divided by AA mainline ASMs
Recent AMR Events
- In connection with non-labor concessionary agreements, the company issued common stock. As a result, our weighted average shares outstanding for 2Q03 will be approximately 158M.
- Our current liquidity has been bolstered by our reduced costs, in combination with recently improved unit revenues (as measured by revenue per available seat mile). April 2003 unit revenues (which were impacted by the war in Iraq and concerns over SARS) were slightly lower than a year ago, and May 2003 unit revenues were up 4% from their year-ago level. We are also experiencing improved unit revenue trends for June relative to last year. While improving in recent months, our revenues are still depressed relative to historical levels. Our reduced costs and improved unit revenues enabled us to generate positive cash flows from operations in May 2003 (excluding the benefit of the $358 million in security cost reimbursements we received under the Emergency Wartime Supplemental Appropriations Act in May). If the improved unit revenue environment continues, we would expect to show similar positive operating cash flow results in June 2003.
