Additionally, the third-quarter GAAP loss from operations was reported at $55.7 million, compared to income of $3.2 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2024.

The July disruption resulted in flight cancellations globally and impacted sectors such as banking, healthcare, and hospitality. Delta Air Lines Inc. DAL sued the company last month, estimating that the outage cost it $500 million.

To this, the chief financial officer Burt W. Podbere, said, “We expect Q4 free cash flow to reflect a significantly more pronounced July 19 impact in comparison to Q3.”

The high is $440 per share issued by Keybanc on July 2 and the low is $265 apiece issued by Scotiabank on Aug. 14.
