ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Results of Operations
Second Quarter 1997 Compared with Second Quarter 1996
Net income for the second quarter of 1997 was $23.4 million compared with a
net income of $19.0 million in 1996. Operating income for the second
quarter of 1997 was $42.1 million compared to $37.3 million for 1996. The
larger operating income reflects higher passenger load factors and yields.
Airline financial and statistical data is shown following the financial
statements. A discussion of this data follows.
Operating income increased 12.9% to $42.1 million, resulting in an 11.5%
operating margin as compared to a 10.9% margin in 1996. Operating revenue
per available seat mile (ASM) increased 6.6% to 9.56 cents while operating
expenses per ASM increased 5.9% to 8.46 cents.
The increase in revenue per ASM was primarily due to a 2.8 point
improvement in system passenger load factor. Most markets experienced
increases in load factors. The Seattle-Anchorage market experienced a 7.8
point increase in load factor. The increase in revenue per ASM was also
favorably impacted by a 2.9% increase in system passenger yield. Most
markets experienced increases in yields, with the California, Nevada and
Arizona markets showing the largest increases.
Freight and mail revenues decreased 1% due to lower mail volumes,
reflecting increased competition in the state of Alaska. Other-net
revenues increased 7.7% due to increased revenues from travel partners in
Alaska's frequent flyer program.
The table below shows the major operating expense elements on a cost per
ASM basis for Alaska for the second quarters of 1996 and 1997.
Alaska Airlines Operating Expenses Per ASM (In Cents)
1996 1997 Change % Change
Wages and benefits 2.49 2.79 .30 12

NM = Not Meaningful
Alaska's higher unit costs were primarily due to an increased labor costs.
Significant unit cost changes are discussed below.
Revenue passengers increased by 3.6% while ASMs grew only 0.5%. Employees
increased 10.0% (primarily in reservations and customer service positions)
to service the additional passengers and improve on-time performance.
Excluding profit sharing, average wages and benefits per employee were up
2.3% primarily due to higher pilot wage rates and higher health insurance
costs. The net effect was that wages and benefits expense increased more
than the ASM growth, resulting in a 12% increase in cost per ASM.
Estimated profit sharing expense increased the cost per ASM by .08 cents.
Effective for 1997, Alaska changed its profit sharing program so that
eligible employees will receive their pro rata share of 10% of Alaska's
adjusted pre-tax profits. Actual profit sharing is based on full year
results and will be calculated and paid in early 1998.
Fuel expense per ASM decreased 5%, due to a 6% decrease in the price of
fuel offset by lower fuel efficiency due to heavier passenger loads and
shorter average aircraft stage length.
Maintenance expense per ASM increased 14% because Alaska performed more
repair work that is expensed currently and less major airframe and engine
overhaul work which is capitalized.
Commission expense per ASM increased 7%, in line with the 8% increase in
passenger revenues.
Other expense per ASM increased 12%. Approximately half of the increase is
due to a tax refund received in the second quarter of 1996. The remainder
is primarily due to higher costs related to employee hiring, communications
and liability insurance.
Other Income (Expense) Non-operating expense decreased $2.0 million to
$2.2 million primarily due to smaller average debt balances and lower
interest rates on variable interest rate debt.
Six Months 1997 Compared with Six Months 1996
Net income for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was $21.3 million,
compared with a net income of $13.8 million in 1996. Operating income for
the first half of 1997 was $40.6 million compared to $34.0 million for
1996.
Operating income increased 19.4% to $40.6 million, resulting in a 6.0%
operating margin as compared to a 5.5% margin in 1996. Operating revenue
per ASM increased 7.5% to 9.14 cents while operating expenses per ASM
increased 6.9% to 8.60 cents.
The increase in revenue per ASM was due to a 3.7 point improvement in
system passenger load factor combined with a 2.8% increase in system
passenger yield.
Unit costs increased 6.9% due to a 9.3% increase in employees, increased
pilot wage rates, $3.0 million of profit sharing expense, 7.0% higher fuel
prices and costs associated with higher load factors.
Income Tax Expense Accounting standards require the Company to provide for
income taxes each quarter based on its estimate of the effective tax rate
for the full year. The volatility of air fares and the seasonality of the
Company's business make it very difficult to estimate full-year pretax
results. In addition, a relatively small change in pretax results can
cause a significant change in the effective tax rate due to the magnitude
of nondeductible expenses, such as goodwill amortization and employee per
diem costs. In estimating the 41.0% tax rate for the first half of 1997,
the Company considered a variety of factors, including the U.S. federal
rate of 35%, estimates of nondeductible expenses and state income taxes,
and the 38.8% tax rate used for full year 1996. This rate is evaluated
each quarter and adjustments are made if necessary.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The table below presents the major indicators of financial condition and
liquidity.
December 31, 1996 June 30, 1997 Change
(In millions, except debt-to-equity)
Cash and marketable securities $ 101.6 $ 128.5 $ 26.9
Working capital (deficit) (152.0) (134.2) 17.8
Long-term debt and
capital lease obligations 217.8 232.3 14.5
Shareholders' equity 357.0 378.3 21.3
Debt-to-equity 38%:62% 38%:62% NA
The Company's cash and marketable securities portfolio increased by $27
million during the first six months of 1997. Operating activities provided
$103 million of cash during this period. Additional cash was provided by
the sale and leaseback of two B737-400 aircraft ($62 million) and issuance
of long-term debt ($28 million). Cash was used for $137 million of capital
expenditures including the purchase of two new MD-83 aircraft, one new
B737-400 aircraft, a previously leased B737-200C aircraft, flight equipment
deposits and airframe and engine overhauls, net repayment of short-term
borrowings ($19 million) and the repayment of debt ($9 million).
In June 1997, Standard & Poors revised its outlook on Alaska to positive
from stable, citing a stabilized competitive position and improving
financial profile.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings
In October 1991, Alaska gave notice of termination of its code sharing and
frequent flyer relationship with MarkAir, an airline based in the state of
Alaska. Both companies have filed suit against one another in connection
with that termination alleging breach of contract and other causes of
action under state law. In June 1992, MarkAir filed for protection under
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. In June 1997 MarkAir claimed
damages of $57 million in connection with Alaska's actions. If MarkAir
were to prevail, the after-tax effect would be to reduce shareholders'
equity by approximately $35 million or 9%. However, the Company believes
that it has adequate defenses and is vigorously defending itself against
the lawsuit.
ITEM 5. Other Information
The U.S. 10% passenger ticket tax, the 6.25% cargo waybill tax and the $6
per passenger international departure tax expired on December 31, 1996, and
were all reinstated for the period March 7, 1997 through September 30,
1997. As part of the Taxpayer Relief Act, the cargo waybill tax was
extended in its current form and the other taxes in revised forms through
September 30, 2007. The passenger ticket tax was replaced with a new
system that combines a percentage tax with a per passenger segment fee.
For sales and travel beginning October 1, 1997, the ticket tax is 9% plus
$1 per segment. The percentage tax is scheduled to decrease over time and
the segment fee is scheduled to increase. The $6 international departure
tax has increased to $12 and a new $12 international arrival tax has been
added. However, the Act retains the $6 rate for travel between Alaska and
the U.S. mainland. This tax and the international taxes will be indexed to
the CPI beginning January 1, 1999.
The Taxpayer Relief Act also included these items that will affect the
Company and the airline industry: (a) a new tax of 7.5% on payments to air
carriers for the sale of miles in frequent flyer programs; (b) a phased-in
increase from 50% to 80% for the deductible percentage of per diems paid to
flight crews; and (c) faster cost recovery for alternative minimum tax
purposes of aircraft purchased in 1999 and later years.
ITEM 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
(a) Exhibit 27 - Financial data schedule.
(b) No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the second quarter of 1997.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THAT HAVE CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1997
Alaska Airlines, Inc.
Note 1. Summary of Significant Policies (See Note 1 to Financial
Statements at December 31, 1996)
Basis of presentation
Effective with the second quarter 1997, three new line items have been
added to the statement of income to provide more details of operating
expenses. Contracted services includes the expenses for aircraft ground
handling, security, temporary employees and similar outside services.
Other selling expenses includes computerized reservations systems (CRS)
charges, credit card commissions, advertising and promotional costs.
Property, Equipment and Depreciation
Effective January 1, 1997, the estimated salvage value of B737-400 flight
equipment was changed to 10% from 20%. The new estimate was adopted to
recognize the lower expected salvage values for this aircraft type. The
annual effect of the change will be to increase depreciation expense $0.5
million and decrease net income $0.3 million.
Note 2. Commitments (See Note 6 to Financial Statements at December 31,
1996)
During the second quarter of 1997, Alaska's lease commitments increased
approximately $98 million due to the sale and leaseback of one B737-400
aircraft and the lease of one B737-400 aircraft under 18-year operating
leases.
