Frontier Airlines (Nasdaq: FRNT) today announced that it expects its earnings per share (EPS) for its fiscal first quarter ending June 30, 2001 to fall within the range of $0.24 and $0.30 per fully diluted share, as compared to $0.57 per fully diluted share for the same period last year adjusted for the Company`s 3-for-2 stock dividend. The airline reported total revenue per available seat mile (RASM) of 9.85 cents for the month of May 2001; operating cost per available seat mile excluding fuel (CASM ex fuel) of 7.79 cents; and fuel cost per available seat mile of 1.60 cents. This resulted in a total cost per available seat mile (CASM) of 9.39 cents.

“We are revising our earnings per share estimate for the June 2001 quarter to reflect anticipated expenses associated with a hailstorm we experienced last week at Denver International Airport,” said Frontier President Sam Addoms. “We estimate that the damage from the storm will add $1,250,000 to our fiscal first quarter expenses, which includes the uninsured costs to repair four of our aircraft damaged in the hailstorm and costs associated with chartering additional aircraft.”
