Delta Air Lines has reported a net profit of $2.1 billion for the second quarter, marking a 63% increase compared to the same period last year. The airline has also reinstated its full-year guidance, projecting earnings per share (EPS) between $5.25 and $6.25 for 2025.
Glen Hauenstein, President of Delta Air Lines, noted that demand levels during Q2 were stable and comparable to the previous year. He attributed this stability to the airline's diverse and high-margin revenue streams which have remained resilient despite economic challenges.
The financial results indicate that Delta's non-adjusted operating revenue for Q2 was $16.6 billion, slightly lower than in Q2 2024, while operating costs increased by 1% year-on-year to $14.5 billion. Adjustments made for "third-party refinery sales and gains/losses on investments" resulted in an adjusted net profit of $1.3 billion, a decrease of 10% from the previous year.
