JetBlue now expects a negative impact to first-quarter revenue per average seat mile of at least six points while also noting that "trends have worsened through last week and have not yet stabilized." The company's first quarter EPS guidance between $2.50 and $3 excludes the expected impact of the coronavirus and was therefore withdrawn Monday. The airline said that it was taking near-term actions to lessen the impact of the epidemic, including adjusting schedules between March and early May, potential capacity reductions amid deteriorating demand trends, and reducing spending across the company. The company also said that it believes it has one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry in terms of both leverage and liquidity levels. JetBlue has $1.2 billion in unrestricted cash and an undrawn committed credit revolver of $550 million. JetBlue shares were falling 3.8% to $13.36 in trading Monday.
