Allegiant focuses on domestic leisure travel. That, combined with its industry-low costs, is a big reason why, in late October, the airlines reported that it was “flirting with cash-flow break-even.”
It added that “while the environment remains fluid and bookings will certainly ebb and flow, our data suggests these average booking levels are sustainable moving forward.”
Moreover, airline’s third quarter operating profit, excluding certain items but including the money from the U.S. government, came in at break-even. As of the end of Q3, its current ratio was a manageable 1.22, while its net debt, at just under $1 billion, is not too terrible, since it’s only about 50% of the airlines’ 2019 revenue of $1.84 billion.
