#### Financial Performance Q2 2025
During the call, United Airlines reported a total operating revenue of $15.236 billion, representing a 1.7% increase from Q2 2024. Passenger revenue rose by 1.1% to $13.836 billion. However, net income fell to $973 million, a 26.4% decline compared to $1.323 billion in Q2 2024. This was largely due to rising operating expenses, which increased by 6.5% to $13.911 billion. Higher salaries and aircraft maintenance costs contributed significantly to the increase in operating expenses. Additionally, special charges of $447 million related to labor contracts impacted profit margins.
#### Earnings Forecast and Outlook
