Willie Walsh, IAG chief executive, said:
"Total revenue in the quarter was up 7.8 per cent with passenger unit revenue up 8.5 per cent based on a capacity increase of 0.6 per cent. Despite this, we've made an operating loss of EUR249 million before exceptional items. This is mainly due to a EUR281 million, 24.9 per cent rise in fuel costs, driven by higher prices, the reduced impact of hedging and emissions charges. The Iberia pilots' strike cost EUR25 million this quarter.
"Iberia's overall operating loss for the quarter was EUR170 million (2011: EUR100 million operating loss) and British Airways' operating loss was GBP62 million before exceptional items (2011: GBP5 million operating loss). Iberia's performance reflects the weakness of the Spanish domestic market and industrial action by pilots opposed to actions by Iberia's management to improve the airline's efficiencies. For British Airways, although the London market and demand for transatlantic travel remains strong, its performance has been affected by rising fuel costs.
"The financial performance of our business continues to be undermined by government actions. In addition to the UK government increasing the world's highest aviation tax - Air Passenger Duty - by double the inflation rate, the Spanish government plans to increase departure taxes from Spain by up to 10 euros per passenger.
"In late April, we completed our purchase of bmi. As a result, British Airways is able to manage its wider Heathrow slot portfolio more effectively and is launching a new route to Seoul later this year. Airports across the UK and beyond have contacted us about starting services and, subject to reaching satisfactory agreement with them, we plan to also launch flights from Heathrow to Leeds-Bradford, Rotterdam and Zagreb and increase frequencies to existing key destinations. Consultation continues with bmi mainlinestaff and their trade unions about plans to integrate the business into British Airways.
"bmi regional has been sold to Sector Aviation Holdings Ltd.
"bmibaby is not part of our plans and consultation has started with trade unions on proposals to review future options for the business".
Financial review:
Revenue for the quarter rose by 7.8 per cent to EUR3,919 million (2011: EUR3,636 million). Passenger revenue was up 9.0 per cent on capacity growth (ASKs) of 0.6 per cent and improved unit passenger revenues (EURcents per ASK) of 8.5 per cent. At constant exchange rates total revenue was up 6.7 per cent or EUR243 million with passenger revenue up 7.9 per cent and unit passenger revenues up 7.3 per cent.
Cargo revenue for the quarter was up 0.3 per cent with yield up 2.6 per cent and volume down 2.2 per cent.
Operating costs before exceptional items for the quarter were up 11.5 per cent to EUR4,168 million (2011: EUR3,738 million), with fuel costs being 7.5 per cent of this increase. Currency had a 1.5 per cent adverse impact on top of increased capacity of 0.6 per cent. Fuel costs are up 24.9 per cent or EUR281 million, reflecting price increases and additional volume. Emissions trading charges of EUR15 million were incurred for the first time this quarter and are included within fuel costs.
Non-fuel costs before exceptional items are up 5.7 per cent; non-fuel unit costs (EUR/ASK) are up 5.1 per cent (3.7 per cent at constant exchange rates). The strike has impacted non-fuel unit costs by 1.3 per cent at constant currency. The non-fuel unit costs were impacted by 1.1 per cent due to the timing of the recognition of bonuses quarter over quarter and the accounting treatment of taxes, fees and charges as part of the new Avios proposition.
In April, British Airways settled a fine with the Office of Fair Trading in the UK relating to investigations into passenger fuel surcharging dating back to 2004 - 2006. The fine agreed was EUR70 million (GBP58.5 million), resulting in a EUR35 million release of the provision held. This benefit was recognised in the first quarter as an exceptional item.
Non-operating costs were EUR51 million for the quarter compared to income of EUR55 million in 2011. The prior year credit was primarily due to the EUR83 million gain on the step acquisition of Iberia. In addition, the net financing expense relating to pensions was a EUR5 million credit in the prior year but a EUR21 million expense in the current year.
The loss before tax for the quarter was EUR263 million (2011: EUR47 million loss).
The tax credit for the quarter of EUR117 million reflects an effective rate of 29 per cent, excluding the reduction in deferred tax liabilities related to the impact of substantively enacted lower tax rates in the UK.
The Group's cash position remains strong with cash and cash equivalents and other interest-bearing deposits at EUR3,574 million. The net debt of the Group has fallen by EUR19 million to EUR1,129 million compared to December 31, 2011. Adjusted gearing at March 31, 2012 improved by 1 point to 43 per cent.
Trading outlook:
The outlook for 2012 is subject to a number of uncertainties:
-- Demand in London remains strong, with a continuation of the encouraging trends we saw in H2 2011 in our longhaul premium cabins, particularly on North Atlantic routes.
-- The Spanish and wider Eurozone macro-economic background deteriorated in Q1, and this is reflected in a worsening commercial performance from our Madrid hub.
-- At the current oil price and euro/US dollar exchange rates, we would face a fuel cost increase this year of over EUR1 billion; the year-over-year impact of this should be less severe in H2.
-- We remain focused on maximising profits through efficiency improvements, and the recent launch of Iberia Express is a major step in that direction. Pilots' strike action associated with our pursuit of this strategy, which continued during the second quarter, has now been called off, but the speed of revenue recovery post-strike and the performance of the Spanish markets are unclear at this stage.
-- The year one operating profit dilution from the acquisition and integration of bmi, completed during Q2, is expected to be in the order of EUR240 million. This includes non-recurring restructuring costs to be booked this year of approximately EUR90 million.
The above factors mean that IAG expects its operating result to be around the breakeven level for the full year, after exceptional items, including the non-recurring bmi restructuring cost.
