Mesa Air Group Reports Q3 2025 Earnings and Merger Update

Mesa Air Group ( (MESA) ) has released its Q3 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Mesa Air Group presented to its investors.

Mesa Air Group, Inc., headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, is a regional air carrier operating as United Express, providing scheduled passenger service to 79 cities across the United States, Cuba, and Mexico with a fleet of Embraer 175 regional aircraft. The company is known for its capacity purchase agreement with United Airlines, which allows it to operate flights under the United Express brand.

In its third-quarter fiscal 2025 earnings report, Mesa Air Group announced total operating revenues of $92.8 million and a net income of $20.9 million, translating to $0.50 per diluted share. The company also provided updates on its proposed merger with Republic Airways Holdings Inc., which is expected to enhance its financial performance and operational capabilities.

Key financial highlights from the report include a pre-tax income of $20.6 million and an adjusted net loss of $0.6 million, primarily due to a $25.1 million gain on the write-off of warrant liabilities. Mesa also achieved a 99.99% controllable completion factor and increased its daily block hour utilization by 15.4% year-over-year. The company has been actively restructuring its operations, transitioning to a single fleet type of Embraer 175s, and selling surplus CRJ assets to strengthen its balance sheet.

Looking ahead, Mesa Air Group remains optimistic about its future, particularly in light of the proposed merger with Republic Airways. The combined company is projected to generate annual revenues between $1.8 billion and $2.0 billion, with Mesa contributing no debt to the merged entity. The merger is expected to provide significant operational and financial benefits, supported by a new 10-year capacity purchase agreement with United Airlines.
