Match the financial data with the company descriptions. Also, try to explain the differences in financial results across industries.
Airlines
Companies A and B are airline companies.
One firm is a major airline that flies both domestically and internationally and offers additional services including travel packages and airplane repair. The company owns a refinery to supply its own jet fuel as a hedge to fuel-price volatility. In 2008, this company merged with one of the largest airline carriers in the United States.
The other company operates primarily in the United States, with some routes to the Caribbean and Latin America. It is the leading low-cost carrier in the United States. One source of operating efficiency is the fact that the company carries only three different aircraft in its fleet, making maintenance much simpler than for legacy airlines that might need to service 20 or 30 different aircraft models. This company’s growth has been mostly organic—it expands its routes by purchasing new aircraft and the rights to fly into new airports.
Computers
Companies E and F sell computers and related equipment.
One company sells high-performance computing systems (“supercomputers”) to government agencies, universities, and commercial businesses. It has experienced considerable growth due to an increasing customer base. The company is financially conservative.
The other company sells personal computers as well as handheld devices and software. The firm has been able to differentiate itself by using its own operating system for its computers and by creating new and innovative designs for all its products. These products carry premium prices domestically and globally. The company follows a vertical integration strategy starting with owning chip manufacturers and ending with owning its own retail stores.
