Executive summary

  • H1 FY26 delivered strong operational and financial results, with revenue up 9% to €3.34bn, net profit up 2.6% to €323.5m, and passenger numbers rising 9.8% to 36.5m, despite ongoing inefficiencies from grounded aircraft and industry challenges.

  • Major structural decisions included closure of Abu Dhabi and Vienna bases, redeployment of capacity to higher-margin CEE routes, and a reset of the Airbus delivery stream, deferring 88 aircraft and converting 36 A321XLRs to A321neos.

  • Strategic shift to 10–12% annual seat growth, focusing on Central East Europe, with new bases in Bratislava, Tuzla, Podgorica, Yerevan, and Warsaw (Modlin).

  • EBITDA margin improved to 29.4%, and leverage ratio reduced from 4.0 to 3.6, with liquidity maintained at 30–35% and €2bn in cash at period end.

  • Moody's and Fitch downgraded credit ratings in June and July 2025.

Financial highlights

  • Revenue increased by 9% year-over-year to €3,342.1m, with ASK growth of 8.9% and RASK roughly flat at EUR 0.0498.

  • EBITDA rose 18.8% to €981.3m with a 29% margin, and operating profit was up 25.8% to €439.2m with a 13% EBIT margin.

  • Net profit improved 2.6% to €323.5m, though impacted by deferred tax charges and FX effects.

  • Total CASK was €4.46 cents (–1.8% YoY); ex-fuel CASK €3.08 cents (+2.7% YoY); fuel CASK €1.38 cents (–10.4% YoY).

  • Free cash flow was €349m, with gross cash at €2.0bn and net debt reduced to €4.8bn.

Outlook and guidance

  • Capacity growth is targeted at 10–12% annually, with H2 seat capacity up mid-teens percent and market share in Central East Europe expected to rise.

  • H2 is expected to be more challenging, with higher costs, especially in maintenance and depreciation, and mid-single digit seat capacity growth.

  • Ex-fuel costs will temporarily rise due to inefficiencies, but are expected to normalize by fiscal 2027 as grounded aircraft return and new deliveries slow.

  • Guidance remains in line with consensus, with cost pressures in Q3 and Q4 anticipated; RASK for H2 and full year expected down low single digits YoY.

  • GTF engine groundings expected to reduce to 25–30 aircraft in FY27.

One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
