Willie Walsh, IAG chief executive, said:

"These are positive results for the quarter with an operating profit of EUR245 million based on total revenue up 3.4 per cent and costs down 2 per cent. Fuel costs were down 3.9 per cent."

"Several factors have contributed to this improvement. Firstly, the benefits of Iberia's restructuring are beginning to show. Having reduced capacity at Iberia in the first quarter, costs began to be taken out in the second quarter following the implementation of the mediator's proposal. Nearly 1,700 employees have left the airline so far with remaining staff taking salary reductions of 18 per cent for flight and cabin crew and 11 per cent for all other employees. This is the first step in the restructuring but it is already bearing fruit with Iberia's losses down from EUR93 million last year to EUR35 million reversing the negative trend of the last 11 quarters."

"British Airways' performance has improved with operating profit up from EUR94 million in 2012 to EUR247 million. The London market and transatlantic traffic remains strong, legacy costs from the bmi integration have ended and the airline remains focused on cost control."

"Vueling joined IAG on April 26, 2013 and in the rest of the quarter achieved an operating profit of EUR27 million. The airline has continued to manage its capacity growth effectively by expanding its business while increasing profits. It's also benefitted from its Barcelona base where it has developed a strong competitive position".

Trading outlook

In the light of the requirement for the Group to seek shareholder approval for fleet orders and the consequent requirement to report on any outstanding profit forecast as part of that process, IAG is no longer giving guidance at the operating profit level for 2013. However, it provides the following statement on the outlook:

Current trading is in line with recent trends. For 2013, we expect to grow Group capacity by 5.2 per cent including Vueling (reduction of 2.4 per cent excluding Vueling). We should see a reduction in the Group's non-fuel unit cost (flat excluding Vueling).

Financial review:

FULL SIX MONTHS PERFORMANCE OF IAG TO PRIOR YEAR SIX MONTHS

Operating and market environment

The half year has seen some stability in fuel prices and foreign exchange rates. Our continental European demand has been higher than we had expected at the beginning of the year. Our North America market continued to perform well. Africa, South America and Asia, although having slightly lower economic outlooks than expected are still showing growth opportunities.

Strategic developments

In April, IAG announced that it has placed firm orders for 18 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft and plans to convert 18 Boeing 787 options into firm orders for British Airways, subject to shareholder approval. These aircraft will be used to replace 30 Boeing 747-400 aircraft between 2017 and 2023. For Iberia, IAG reached agreement with Airbus as well as Boeing to secure commercial terms and delivery slots that could lead to firm orders for A350s and/or Boeing 787s. Firm orders will only be made when the airline is in a position to grow profitably, having restructured and reduced its cost base.

On April 23, the majority of Vueling Airlines, S.A.'s (Vueling) shareholders accepted IAG's cash tender offer for the acquisition of the remaining shares of the airline. IAG already indirectly owned 45.85 per cent of Vueling and 82.48 per cent of the remaining shareholders have accepted IAG's offer of EUR9.25 per share. Therefore, the IAG Group owns 90.51 per cent of Vueling from the acquisition completion date of April 26, 2013. The cost of purchasing the Vueling shares was EUR124 million. On June 27, Vueling agreed at a general shareholders meeting to delist the remaining 9.49 per cent of shares from the Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia Stock Exchanges.

On May 14, IAG successfully raised EUR390 million in a senior unsecured convertible bond. The bonds were issued to fund its acquisition of Vueling, enhance liquidity and lower its cost of capital. They accrue a fixed rate of interest of 1.75 per cent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. The conversion price of EUR4.25 represents a premium of approximately 35 per cent over the volume weighted average price of ordinary IAG shares on the London Stock Exchange from launch to pricing.

On June 26, IAG announced the successful launch by British Airways of a $927 million publicly-traded bond, using aircraft as collateral. These bonds are known as EETCs (Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates) and are a form of aircraft financing commonly used by US airlines. The transaction included Class A and Class B Certificates, with an annual coupon of 4.625 per cent and 5.625 per cent respectively. The underlying collateral pool is made up of six new B787-8 aircraft, two new B777-300 ER aircraft and six new A320-200 aircraft, due for delivery within the next 12 months. This is the first time that British Airways has used EETCs and the first time this form of financing has been used in the UK.

Exchange rates

For the six months the translation of British Airways from sterling functional currency to the Group's euro reporting currency has resulted in a EUR160 million year over year decrease in revenue and a EUR147 million favourable impact on operating costs, reflecting 2.3 per cent weakening of the pound sterling against euro.

The transactional exchange rate impacts across the Group for the six months saw a positive impact on revenue of EUR13 million and an adverse impact on costs of EUR86 million.

Therefore the net adverse impact on the half year loss was EUR86 million, including EUR147 million adverse impact on revenues and EUR61 million favourable on costs.

Vueling

The six month performance to June 30, 2013 includes Vueling from April 26, 2013. Vueling represented 4.1 per cent of the first half capacity, 3.2 per cent of the total revenue and earned an operating profit of EUR27 million.

Traffic

Overall capacity grew by 1.2 per cent in the first six months of the year and traffic grew by 2.0 per cent, increasing seat factors 0.6 points to 79.4 per cent. Excluding Vueling, capacity was down 2.9 per cent and traffic was down 2.1 per cent, leading to seat factor improvement of 0.7 points.

Passenger revenue

Passenger revenue increased 4.0 per cent compared to the prior year six months or 5.8 per cent at constant currency. Unit passenger revenue (per ASK) was up 2.8 per cent and passenger yield (per RPK) was up 2.0 per cent. At constant currency passenger unit revenue was up 4.6 per cent and passenger yield up 3.8 per cent.

The focus during the first six months at British Airways continued to be sustainable yield and unit revenue improvements with restrained capacity growth to match market demands. At Iberia the focus for the first six months has been the implementation of the Transformation Plan to improve profitability, reducing capacity by 13.0 per cent, and suspending loss making routes and frequencies.

Longhaul

North America capacity decreased by 0.6 per cent and traffic improved by 1.4 per cent, resulting in a seat factor increase of 1.6 points to 83.2 per cent.

Latin America and Caribbean capacity declined by 8.9 per cent and traffic fell by 10.6 per cent leading to a seat factor decrease of 1.6 points to 82.4 per cent.

Africa, Middle East and South Asia saw capacity decreases of 1.1 per cent, traffic decreased by 0.2 per cent leading to a seat factor increase of 0.6 points to 76.0 per cent.

Asia Pacific capacity increased 1.9 per cent, whilst traffic grew 4.1 per cent, which resulted in a seat factor improvement of 1.7 points to 79.6 per cent.

Shorthaul

The European market has had a strong performance throughout the first half of the year and has benefitted from the addition of Vueling.

Europe saw capacity increase by 13.7 per cent and traffic improved 18.2 per cent leading to a seat factor increase of 2.9 points to 75.3 per cent. Excluding Vueling, seat factor increases were similar but on a 2.6 per cent capacity decrease.

Domestic capacity increased 22.7 per cent and traffic was up 19.2 per cent leading to a seat factor decrease of 2.1 points to 71.9 per cent. Excluding Vueling, domestic capacity was down 5.2 per cent, traffic decreased 12.2 per cent leading to a 5.5 points decrease in seat factor.

Premium

Premium traffic (RPKs) continued to increase in the half year, with a positive mix impact on unit revenues and yields.

Cargo and other revenue

Cargo revenues and volumes were both down but with a small yield improvement of 0.1 per cent over the same period last year.

From April 26, Iberia's handling and maintenance revenues related to Vueling are eliminated from the Group results. The impact for the first half of the year was approximately EUR25 million reduction in both revenues and costs. Other revenue has also been impacted by the industrial action in Spain due to both losses of productivity in the first quarter and of on-going business in the second quarter. Cargo handling volumes and yields were also down. Other revenues have seen improvements during the period in areas such as BA Holidays.

Costs

Total costs excluding exceptional items were down EUR45 million or 0.5 per cent to EUR8,740 million benefitting from a lower translation exchange rate reducing costs EUR147 million offset by transactional currency impacts of EUR86 million. At constant currency, total costs were up EUR16 million or 0.2 per cent, on a capacity increase of 1.2 per cent leading to an improvement in total unit costs of 1.0 per cent.

Non-fuel unit costs were down 0.2 per cent. Non-fuel unit costs rose due to timing differences in quarter one from capacity cuts at Iberia as part of the Transformation Plan in advance of headcount reductions and at British Airways in advance of the new aircraft arriving this year. Non-fuel unit costs are adversely impacted as we include bmi in quarter one for the first time in 2013; quarter one traditionally generates higher non-fuel costs per ASK than the rest of the year due to seasonality. Quarter two saw a reversal of these impacts and these were partially offset by the inclusion of Vueling from April 26, 2013, as it excludes the quarter one period and has an overall lower cost base per ASK.

Fuel costs were down EUR109 million or 3.7 per cent to EUR2,864 million and fuel unit costs were down 4.7 per cent, as a result of lower fuel price. At constant currency fuel unit costs were also down 4.7 per cent as adverse transaction exchange rates from the pound sterling to US dollar movements were offset by translation exchange benefits from pound sterling to euro movements.

Employee costs before exceptional items were flat versus last year but up 1.4 per cent at constant currency, reflecting Vueling costs, wage awards and higher pension service costs (due to accounting), offset by the impact of the Iberia Transformation Plan. Employee unit costs at constant currency were flat.

Handling, catering and other operating costs were up 8.6 per cent to EUR924 million or 10.5 per cent at constant currency. This increase is driven primarily by the increase in the number of passengers carried during the period of 13.1 per cent, cycling over quarter one where bmi was not included in the base and the inclusion of Vueling in the second quarter. Other operating costs have also increased as a result of additional BA Holidays activity, increasing both revenues and costs.

Landing fees and en-route charges rose by 4.3 per cent to EUR655 million, or up 5.9 per cent at constant currency. Landing fees and en-route charges have risen due to an increase in the volume of landings and increases in airport charges which have exceeded inflation.

Engineering and other aircraft costs before exceptional items were down 1.4 per cent to EUR626 million, or down 1.6 per cent at constant currency. The decrease is partially due to reduced third party activity in Spain from industrial action impacting productivity in the first quarter and a loss of on-going business in the second quarter. These decreases have been partially offset by other volume and price related increases.

Property, IT and other costs before exceptional items were down EUR13 million or 2.8 per cent to EUR457 million. Property, IT and other costs have decreased due to elimination of bmi head office costs.

Selling costs decreased by 5.9 per cent to EUR398 million, or down 3.5 per cent at constant currency. The decrease in selling costs is due to the decrease in passenger numbers at Iberia and the non-repetition of specific 2012 initiatives at British Airways, such as the investment in Masterbrand and Olympic advertising. These decreases have been partially offset by passenger volume increases at British Airways and Vueling.

Depreciation, amortisation and impairment costs were down 2.7 per cent to EUR498 million, which was mostly currency related.

Aircraft operating lease costs before exceptional items rose by 2.9 per cent to EUR215 million, primarily reflecting an increase of 71 operating leased aircraft for Vueling and a decrease of nine operating leased aircraft at Iberia.

Exceptional items

Employee restructuring costs associated with the Transformation Plan of Iberia were recorded in 2012, calculated based on Management's expectation and taking into consideration the labour laws in Spain. Following acceptance of the mediator proposal in March 2013, additional employee restructuring provisions of EUR265 million were recognised. Exceptional restructuring costs of EUR47 million associated with the return of leased aircraft and standing down owned aircraft have also been recorded.

The acquisition of Vueling has resulted in a number of exceptional items during the period; the exclusion of fuel cash flow hedges in place at the time of acquisition resulting in a EUR3 million credit, acquisition costs related to the transaction of EUR5 million and a step acquisition loss related to the original investment held of EUR17 million. In addition there was an exceptional credit of EUR2 million related to aircraft lease cash flow hedges acquired upon the Iberia acquisition.

Prior year exceptional items mainly reflect the benefit realised in the first quarter related to the settlement of competition fines in the UK leading to a release of provision of EUR35 million and costs associated with the restructuring of the bmi acquired mainline business which amounted to EUR40 million in the second quarter, including EUR8 million of transaction and integration costs for the bmi acquisition. In addition, there was an exceptional credit of EUR4 million in the prior six months related to aircraft lease cash flow hedges acquired upon the Iberia acquisition.

Operating loss

IAG operating loss before exceptional items for the six months was EUR33 million, compared to a loss of EUR253 million in the first half of 2012.

Non-operating items

Non-operating costs have increased from EUR104 million to EUR144 million due to increases in net financing charges of EUR32 million and EUR10 million related to IAG's share of Vueling's pre-acquisition losses from equity accounting.

Taxation

During the period deferred tax assets related to Iberia's current period losses have not been recognised. The recognition of these deferred tax assets will be reviewed in the second half of the year as part of the annual Business planning process. Excluding this impact, the tax credit for the quarter of EUR3 million reflects an effective rate for the Group of 35 per cent.

Discontinued operations

Prior year discontinued operations represents the post-tax loss for the period of bmi regional and bmibaby. bmi regional was sold during the prior period and bmibaby ceased operations in quarter three 2012.

Cash

Cash at June 30, 2013 was EUR3,627 million, up EUR718 million from December 31, 2012. The increase in cash reflects the proceeds from the EUR390 million convertible bond, net of the Vueling consideration and acquisition costs; and the cash balances held by Vueling. These increases have been partially offset by cash used by both British Airways and Iberia since year end in line with the seasonality of business.

The cash balance at June 30, 2013 comprised EUR2,116 million held by British Airways, EUR690 million held by Iberia, EUR549 million held by Vueling and EUR272 million held by IAG holding companies.

   1.             Corporate Information AND BASIS OF PREPARATION 

On January 21, 2011 British Airways Plc and Iberia Líneas Aéreas de España S.A. Operadora (hereinafter 'British Airways' and 'Iberia' respectively) completed a merger transaction of the two companies to create a new leading European airline group. As a result of the merger, International Consolidated Airlines Group S.A. (hereinafter 'International Airlines Group', 'IAG' or the 'Group') was formed to hold the interests of both the existing airline groups. IAG is a Spanish company registered in Madrid and was incorporated on April 8, 2010.

IAG shares are traded on the London Stock Exchange's main market for listed securities and also on the stock exchanges of Madrid, Barcelona, Bilbao and Valencia (the 'Spanish Stock Exchanges'), through the Spanish Stock Exchanges Interconnection System (Mercado Continuo Español).

The Group's summary condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the six months to June 30, 2013 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on August 1, 2013. The condensed financial statements herein are not the Company's statutory accounts and are unaudited.

The basis of preparation and accounting policies set out in the IAG Annual Report and Accounts for the year to December 31, 2012 have been applied in the preparation of these summary condensed consolidated interim financial statements. IAG's financial statements for the year to December 31, 2012 have been filed with the Registro Mercantil de Madrid, and are in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union (IFRSs as adopted by the EU) and with those of the Standing Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The report of the auditors on those financial statements was unqualified.

For the purposes of these statements IFRS also includes International Accounting Standards.

On April 23, 2013, the majority of Vueling Airlines, S.A.'s (Vueling) shareholders accepted IAG's cash tender offer for the acquisition of the remaining shares of the airline. IAG already indirectly owned 45.85 per cent of Vueling and 82.48 per cent of the remaining shareholders have accepted IAG's offer of EUR9.25 per share. Therefore, the IAG Group owns 90.51 per cent of Vueling from the acquisition completion date of April 26, 2013. The cost of purchasing the Vueling shares was EUR124 million.

The Group has launched a public tender offer over the remaining 9.49 per cent of Vueling shares which are not already owned by the IAG Group. The delisting tender offer is EUR9.25 per share. Vueling will be delisted from the Barcelona, Bilbao, Madrid and Valencia stock exchanges upon successful completion of the offer.

   2.             Accounting Policies 

The Directors consider that the Group has adequate resources to remain in operation for the foreseeable future and have therefore continued to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the interim financial statements.

The accounting policies and methods of calculation adopted are consistent with those of the annual financial statements for the year to December 31, 2012, as described in the financial statements of IAG, except as set out below:

Prior period restatement - Adoption of IAS 19 'Employee Benefits' accounting standard

The Group has adopted amendments to IAS 19 'Employee Benefits' from January 1, 2013 and has retrospectively applied these changes to the comparative information.

The revised standard has eliminated the use of the corridor approach. This has resulted in recognition of all re-measurements of the defined benefit liability or asset including gains and losses in Other comprehensive income. At December 31, 2012 the net pensions liability has been increased to reflect previously unrecognised cumulative net losses, being an increase in the net liability of EUR2,697 million, partially offset by an increase in the related deferred tax asset of EUR620 million. Total equity is restated at December 31, 2012 to reduce equity by EUR2,077 million to EUR2,978 million.

The amended standard also requires the Group to determine the net interest expense or income for the year on the net defined benefit liability or asset by applying the discount rate used at the beginning of the period to measure the defined benefit obligation to the net defined benefit liability or asset at the beginning of the year. It takes into account any changes in the net defined benefit liability or asset during the year as a result of contributions and benefit payments. Previously, the Group determined interest income on plan assets based on their long-term rate of expected return. Before adopting the amendment, the Group had a finance charge or income in relation to amortisation of actuarial losses in excess of the corridor and the effect of the Airways pension scheme (APS) asset ceiling; following the adoption of the amended standard, all actuarial losses and gains have been recognised immediately in Other comprehensive income, as are changes in the APS asset ceiling.

The effect of the prior period restatement is a decrease in the net pensions finance charge for the six months to June 30, 2012 of EUR32 million; EUR22 million for the elimination of financing charges for the amortisation of actuarial losses in excess of the corridor and EUR10 million due to a reduction in the net financing expense relating to pensions.

   2.             Accounting Policies continued 

Actuarial remeasurements will occur at each year end, resulting in no such adjustment for the six months to June 30, 2012. In addition, the impact of changes in substantively enacted tax rates on deferred tax assets relating to pensions results in a charge of EUR18 million for the six months to June 30, 2012, with a reduction in the substantively enacted tax rate from 25 per cent to 24 per cent occurring in this period, resulting in a reduction in the valuation of the deferred tax assets.

Unrecognised cumulative gains of EUR3 million in relation to APS are now recognised as these represent the difference between the net pension asset recognised and the APS asset ceiling restriction at December 31, 2011. At December 31, 2011 the net pensions liability has been increased to reflect previously unrecognised cumulative net losses, being an increase in the net liability of EUR1,834 million, partially offset by an increase in the related deferred tax asset of EUR460 million. Total equity is restated at December 31, 2011 to reduce equity by EUR1,374 million to EUR4,312 million.

An extract of the restated consolidated balance sheet is set out below:

The Group has adopted the following amendments from January 1, 2013:

IFRS 7 (Amendment) 'Financial Instruments: Disclosures'. The amendment includes multiple clarifications related to the disclosure of financial instruments. The standard requires a change in the presentation of the Group's notes to the financial statements but has no impact on reported profits.

IFRS 13 'Fair value measurement'. The standard aims to improve consistency and reduce complexity by providing a precise definition of fair value and a single source of fair value measurement and disclosure requirements for use across IFRSs. The requirements do not extend the use of fair value accounting but provide guidance on how it should be applied where its use is already required or permitted by other standards within IFRS.

IAS 1 (Amendment) 'Financial statement presentation'. This amendment requires companies to group together items within other comprehensive income that may be reclassified to the profit or loss section of the income statement. Items in the other comprehensive income should be presented as either a single statement or two consecutive primary statements.

Other amendments resulting from improvements to IFRSs did not have any impact on the accounting policies, financial position or performance of the Group. The Group has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but not yet effective.

   3.             Business combinations 

On April 26, 2013, the Group acquired a further 44.66 per cent of the issued share capital of Vueling for EUR9.25 per share. The cost of purchasing the additional Vueling shares was EUR124 million. The Group already indirectly owned 45.85 per cent of Vueling through its subsidiary Iberia. Therefore, the IAG Group owns 90.51 per cent of Vueling.

The acquisition will contribute to the geographic diversification of the Group. Through Vueling's leading position in Barcelona and growth in the rest of Europe, IAG expects incremental synergies primarily from purchasing and financing, additionally Vueling incorporates a low-cost platform for the Group.

The assets and liabilities arising from the acquisition are as follows:

Transaction costs related to the acquisition of Vueling totalling EUR5 million were recognised within Exceptional items in the Income statement for the period to June 30, 2013.

The Vueling contribution to the consolidated Group results was total revenues of EUR281 million, and an operating profit of EUR27 million. Had Vueling been consolidated from January 1, 2013, the Group would have reported total revenue of EUR8,989 million and an operating loss after exceptional items of EUR376 million for the six months to June 30, 2013.

(1) Restructuring costs

A restructuring expense of EUR312 million has been recognised in relation to the Iberia Transformation Plan. Employee restructuring costs associated with the Transformation Plan of Iberia were recorded in 2012, calculated based on Management's expectation of the application of the new labour law in Spain. During the period, EUR265 million of additional employee restructuring costs have been charged to reflect the increased cost of the severance as proposed by the mediator agreement.

Restructuring costs of EUR47 million associated with the return of leased aircraft and standing down owned aircraft have also been recorded.

(2) Provisions

In April 2012, 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 through to 2006. The fine agreed was EUR70 million (GBP58.5 million), resulting in a EUR35 million release in the 6 months to June 30, 2012 of the provision held. This provision release was considered exceptional due to its size, incidence and in line with the recognition of the original charge.

(3) Business combination costs

Transaction expenses of EUR5 million have been recognised in relation to Vueling in the period to June 30, 2013.

A restructuring expense of EUR32 million was recognised in relation to bmi mainline for the six months to June 30, 2012, and transaction and integration expenses of EUR8 million.

(4) Derivatives and financial instruments

On January 21, 2011, Iberia had a portfolio of cash flow hedges with a net mark-to-market charge of EUR67 million recorded within Other reserves on the Balance sheet. On April 26, 2013, Vueling had a portfolio of cash flow hedges with a net mark-to-market charge which rounds to nil recorded within Other reserves in the Balance sheet. As these cash flow hedge positions unwind, Iberia and Vueling will recycle the impact from Other reserves through their respective Income statement.

The Group does not recognise the pre-acquisition cash flow hedge net position within Other reserves on the Balance sheet, resulting in fuel and aircraft operating lease costs being gross of the pre-acquisition cash flow hedge positions. For the six months to June 30, 2013 this has resulted in a decrease in reported aircraft operating lease costs of EUR2 million (2012: decrease of EUR4 million), a decrease in reported fuel expense of EUR3 million and a related EUR2 million tax charge.

(5) Loss on step acquisition

As a result of Iberia's initial investment in Vueling, the Business combination was achieved in stages. The Group revalued its initial investment in Vueling to fair value at the acquisition date resulting in a non-cash loss of EUR17 million recognised in the Loss on sale of property, plant and equipment and investments line within Exceptional items in the Income statement.

(6) Loss on discontinued operations

From the date of acquisition, the loss after tax from discontinued operations of bmibaby and bmi regional was EUR10 million for the six months to June 30, 2012.

   5.             SEASONALITY 

The Group's business is highly seasonal with demand strongest during the summer months. Accordingly higher revenues and operating profits are usually expected in the latter six months of the financial year than in the first six months.

   6.             SEGMENT INFORMATION 
   a.             Business segments 

British Airways, Iberia and Vueling are managed as individual operating companies. Each company operates its network operations as a single business unit. The chief operating decision maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments, and has been identified as the IAG Management Committee. The IAG Management Committee makes resource allocation decisions based on network profitability, primarily by reference to the markets in which the companies operate. The objective in making resource allocation decisions is to optimise consolidated financial results. Therefore, based on the way the Group treats its businesses, and the manner in which resource allocation decisions are made, the Group has three (2012: two) reportable operating segments for financial reporting purposes, reported as British Airways, Iberia and Vueling.

   8.             Tax 

The tax credit for the six months to June 30, 2013 is EUR3 million (six months to June 30, 2012 (restated): EUR161 million credit). During the period EUR174 million of deferred tax assets related to current year Iberia tax losses incurred have not been recognised. The recovery of these tax losses will be reviewed as part of the annual Business Plan review in the second half of the year. Excluding the tax assets not recognised during the period, the effective tax rate for the six months to June 30, 2013 was 35 per cent.

Reductions to the UK corporation tax rate to 21 per cent from April 1, 2014 and 20 per cent from April 1, 2015 have been substantively enacted in July 2013. The total estimated financial effect of these announced changes is a reduction in the net deferred tax liability of EUR43 million and will be recorded in the second half of the year.

   9.             EARNINGS PER SHARE 

Basic earnings per share for the six months to June 30, 2013 are calculated on a weighted average of 1,848,760,446 ordinary shares and adjusted for shares held for the purposes of Employee Share Ownership Plans. Diluted earnings per share for the period to June 30, 2013 are calculated on a weighted average of 2,168,681,808 diluted ordinary shares (2012: 2,050,822,515).

The number of shares in issue at June 30, 2013 was 1,855,369,557 ordinary shares of EUR0.50 each (2012: 1,855,369,557 ordinary shares of EUR0.50 each).

   10.          DIVIDENDS 

The Directors propose that no dividend be paid for the six months to June 30, 2013 (June 30, 2012: EURnil).

Capital expenditure authorised and contracted for but not provided for in the accounts amounts to EUR5,083 million for the Group commitments (December 31, 2012: EUR4,910 million). In April 2013, IAG announced that it has placed firm orders for 18 Airbus A350-1000 aircraft and plans to convert 18 Boeing 787 options into firm orders for British Airways, subject to shareholder approval. These amounts will be included in capital expenditure authorised but not provided for once shareholder approval has been obtained. The majority of capital expenditure commitments are denominated in US dollars and are subject to fluctuations in exchange rates.

   12.          IMPAIRMENT REVIEW 

At December 31, 2012 as part of the annual impairment test of the Iberia cash generating unit, the carrying amount of Iberia's goodwill was fully impaired and the carrying amount of its Brand was impaired by EUR79 million. The impairment of these assets reduced Iberia's carrying value to its estimated value-in-use. Any further declines in Iberia's estimated value-in-use remains liable for additional impairment of Brand, customer loyalty programmes or landing rights. Any increase in Iberia's estimated value-in-use could result in the reversal of all or a portion of the original impairment of Brand.

Annually the Group prepares and approves formal five year Business Plans during the second half of the year. For the six months to June 30, 2013, Management has reviewed the indefinite life intangible assets using consistent methodologies from year end as disclosed in the 2012 Annual report and accounts. The 2012 Business Plans were updated with the 2013 revised full year forecast for this exercise, taking into account the impacts of the mediator agreements. Based on these revised assumptions, management considers the carrying values to continue to be supported at June 30, 2013.

   13.          NON-CURRENT ASSETS HELD FOR SALE 

The non-current assets held for sale of EUR3 million represent property acquired as part of the bmi acquisition which is expected to be sold within 12 months (2012: EUR3 million).

Forward currency contracts, options, over-the-counter (OTC) fuel derivatives, and interest rate derivatives

These are stated at the market value of instruments with similar terms and conditions at the balance sheet date (level 2).

Interest-bearing loans and borrowings and finance leases excluding i-ii below:

The repayments that the Group is committed to make have been discounted at the relevant market interest rates applicable at June 30, 2013.

   (i)    Euro-sterling notes euro-sterling bond 2016 and convertible bond 2018:

The Group issued a EUR390 million fixed rate convertible bond in May 2013, raising net proceeds of EUR386 million, which holds a coupon rate of 1.75 per cent and is convertible into ordinary shares at the option of the holder before or upon maturity in May 2018. The conversion price was set at a premium of 35 per cent on the Group's share price on the date of issuance. The Group holds an option to redeem the convertible bond at its principal amount, together with accrued interest, upon fulfilment of certain pre-determined criteria. The equity portion of the convertible bond issue is included in Other reserves. From issuance and at June 30, 2013 91,758,228 options were outstanding.

In August 2009, British Airways issued a GBP350 million fixed rate 5.8 per cent convertible bond, convertible into ordinary shares at the option of the holder, before or on maturity in August 2014. Under the terms of the merger, the bondholders are now eligible to convert their bonds into ordinary shares of IAG. Conversion into ordinary shares will occur at rate of GBP1.89 per share. The equity portion of the convertible bond issue is included in Other reserves. At June 30, 2013 184,708,995 options were outstanding (December 31, 2012: 184,708,995).

At June 30, 2013 the Group had an undrawn, fully committed financing agreement in place related to a $927 million EETC bond issue in June 2013.

   17.          SHARE BASED PAYMENTS 

During the period 7,625,742 conditional shares were awarded under the Group's Performance Share Plan (PSP) to key senior executives and selected members of the wider management team. No payment is due upon the vesting of the shares. The fair value of equity-settled share options granted is estimated as at the date of the award using the Monte-Carlo model, taking into account the terms and conditions upon which the options were awarded. The following are the inputs to the model for the PSP options granted in the period:

Expected share price volatility: 40 per cent

Expected life of options: 3 years

Weighted average share price: GBP2.69

The Group also made awards under the Bonus Deferral Plan (BDP) during the period, under which 2,753,837 conditional shares were awarded.

   18.          EMPLOYEE BENEFIT OBLIGATIONS 

The Group operates two principal funded defined benefit pension schemes in the UK, the Airways pension scheme (APS) and the New Airways pension scheme (NAPS), both of which are closed to new members. The Group did not perform an interim valuation as at June 30, 2013 as there had been no significant movement in assumptions.

During the period, the Group has adopted amendments to IAS19 'Employee Benefits', and applied these retrospectively. The impact of the restatement is set out in note 2.

The Group has reached agreement in principle with the trustees of its two main pension schemes on the schemes' regular triennial valuations. The agreement confirms that the existing contribution plans for the APS and NAPS remain on track to pay the pension liabilities. The valuations are based on the schemes' funding position as at March 31, 2012.

REVIEW REPORT ON THE CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

To the Shareholders of International Consolidated Airlines Group S.A. at the request of Management:

1. We have carried out a review of the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements (hereinafter the interim financial statements) of International Consolidated Airlines Group S.A. (hereinafter the Parent Company) and subsidiaries (hereinafter the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet at 30 June 2013, the consolidated income statement, consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity, the consolidated cash flow statement, and the notes thereto , all of them condensed for the six-month period then ended. The Parent Company's directors are responsible for the preparation of said interim financial statements in accordance with the requirements established by IAS 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union for the preparation of interim condensed financial reporting as per article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007 and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority. Our responsibility is to conclude on these interim financial statements based on our review.

2. Our review was performed in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements 2410, "Review of Interim Financial Reporting Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of the interim financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of personnel responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying certain analytical and other review procedures. The scope of a review is substantially smaller than that of an audit and therefore, it is not possible to provide assurance that all the significant matters that could be identified in an audit have come to our attention. Therefore, we do not express an audit opinion on the accompanying interim financial statements.

3. During the course of our review, which under no circumstances can be considered an audit of financial statements, no matter came to our attention which would lead us to conclude that the accompanying interim financial statements for the six-month period ended 30 June 2013 have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the requirements established by International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union in conformity with article 12 of Royal Decree 1362/2007 for the preparation of condensed interim financial statements and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.

4. Without qualifying our opinion, we draw attention to accompanying explanatory Note 1 to the interim financial statements, where it is stated that the abovementioned interim financial statements do not include all the information that would be required for complete consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union, and therefore the accompanying interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012.

5. The accompanying interim consolidated management report for the six-month period ended 30 June, 2013 contains such explanations as the Parent Company's directors consider necessary regarding the events which occurred during said period and their effect on the interim financial statements, of which it is not an integral part, as well as on the information required in conformity with article 15 of Royal Decree 1362/2007. We have checked that the accounting information included in the report mentioned above agrees with the interim financial statements for the six months period ended 30 June 2013. Our work is limited to verifying the management report in accordance with the scope mentioned in this paragraph, and does not include the review of information other than that obtained from the accounting records of the consolidated companies.

6. This report has been prepared at the request of Management with regard to the publication of the half-year financial report required by article 35 of Securities Market Law 24/1988, of July 28, further developed by Royal Decree 1362/2007, of October 19 and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority.
