01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed December 3, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Delta Air Lines, Inc. furnished this Form 8-K under Item 7.01 (Regulation FD Disclosure) in connection with a webcast fireside chat at the Morgan Stanley Global Consumer & Retail Conference on December 3, 2025, starting at 8:45 a.m.

ET. At the conference, Delta said demand remains healthy for the December quarter and that trends are strong for early 2026. Delta reported that growth in travel bookings has returned to its initial expectations after a temporary softening in November tied to the government shutdown.

The company said this shutdown-related softening is expected to reduce its December quarter pre-tax profit by approximately $200 milliona, equating to approximately 25 cents of earnings per share. The disclosure is an update on near-term demand and profitability rather than a full financial report. The filing includes standard forward-looking statement cautions, citing risks such as fuel costs, labor disruptions, competition, and regulatory and economic conditions, and references Delta's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 for further risk information.
