Near-term outlook shaped by aircraft
availability and other economic conditions
For the full disclosure, please refer to the NZX announcement made on 25 November 2024.
Observing a continuation of external conditions
previously highlighted at 2024 Annual Results
In the context of these conditions, and noting several one-off
items in the first half, the airline currently expects earnings
before taxation for the first half of the 2025 financial year to be
in the range of $120 million to $160 million.
This includes several one-off items in the first half:
•~$10 million of unused travel credit breakage
•~$30 million of compensation from engine manufacturers
relating to prior periods (as part of a broader compensation
package)
•~$20 million gain on the sale and leaseback of 4 A320
aircraft
This guidance range also assumes an average jet fuel price of
US$91/barrel for the first half.
First half guidance for the 2025 financial
year announced on 25 November 2024
Planning for up to 6 Airbus neo aircraft and up to 4 Boeing
787 aircraft out of service for the majority of the 2025
financial year due to global engine maintenance delays
New Zealand domestic demand remains soft, particularly
government-purpose travel; early signs of improvement in
corporate bookings
Targeted reductions in US competitive capacity over the peak
Northern Winter season
