On February 11, 2004, SkyWest, Inc. (“SkyWest”) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2003, as well as its results for the 2003 year. The full text of SkyWest’s press release, together with related unaudited financial and operating highlights, is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibit) is furnished pursuant to Item 12 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing made by the Company under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
Forward-Looking Statements
Statements in this press release which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such statements encompass SkyWest’s beliefs, expectations, hopes or intentions regarding future events. Words such as “expects,” “intends,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “should” and “likely” also identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this press release are made as of the date hereof and are based on information available to SkyWest as of such date. SkyWest assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated for a number of reasons, including, among others: developments associated with the bankruptcy proceedings involving United Airlines, Inc.; potential consolidation of existing regional carriers; ongoing negotiations between SkyWest and its major partners regarding their code-sharing arrangements; SkyWest’s ability to finance additional and existing aircraft; variations in market and economic conditions; and other unanticipated factors. Risk factors, cautionary statements and other conditions which could cause actual results to differ from SkyWest’s current expectations are contained in SkyWest’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including SkyWest’s Annual Report on Form 10-K.
