US Airways swings to huge 2Q loss on fuel spike
Posted By ap 2 months, 3 weeks ago in Business & FinancePHOENIX (AP) _ US Airways Group Inc. says it swung to a huge second quarter loss as it struggled to deal with a spike in fuel costs.
For the three months that ended June 30, US Airways said Tuesday it lost $567 million, or $6.16 per share, compared with a profit of $263 million, or $2.77 per share, for the same period last year.
Revenue rose 3 percent to $3.26 billion.
Excluding special charges that included a $640 million non-cash impairment charge related to the write down of goodwill and spare parts, US Airways says it would have lost $101 million or $1.11 per share.
Analysts, who typically exclude charges from their forecasts, expected a loss of $1.30 per share during the second quarter on revenue of $3.27 billion.
