Revenue and Earnings Overview

United Airlines Inc. announced a 1.7% increase in total operating revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2025, reaching $15.2 billion. This figure, however, fell slightly short of analysts' expectations. Passenger revenue saw a modest rise of 1.1%, totaling $13.8 billion.

Net Income and EPS Decline

The airline experienced a significant 26.4% annual decrease in net income, which settled at $973 million. Diluted earnings per share (EPS) also dropped by 24.9% to $2.97. Despite these declines, United remains optimistic about its full-year performance, adjusting its adjusted diluted EPS guidance to between $9.00 and $11.00 for 2025.

CEO's Optimistic Outlook

"The world is less uncertain today than it was during the first six months of 2025," stated United's CEO Scott Kirby, highlighting a positive shift in demand starting in early July and anticipating another industry supply inflection in mid-August. This optimism is tempered by a 3.67% drop in the company's stock price to $85.224 in after-hours trading following the report.
