It looks like someone is very disturbed by the thought, that one day Ryanair might step on BA's toes in Heathrow.

Ryanair seeks more growth amid flag carrier cuts as profit soars


By Andrew Parker and Mark Wembridge

FT

20 May 2013




Ryanair is aiming to achieve further growth at the expense of European flag carriers in the next five years, as it announced a 16 per cent increase in underlying operating profit for 2012-13.

Europe's largest low-cost carrier by revenue announced it would use a planned purchase of 175 Boeing passenger jets to expand in Germany, Scandinavia and central Europe, and told investors a third special dividend could be paid in 2014-15.

Howard Millar, Ryanair's finance director, said the company would continue to expand on European short-haul routes while competitors – including Iberia, Air France, Lufthansa, Air Berlin, LOT Polish Airlines and SAS – were engaged in restructurings that periodically involved capacity cuts.

Mr Millar predicted that Ryanair would increase its addressable market share of European short-haul passengers from 15 per cent now to 20 per cent by 2018-19, saying it could replace Air Berlin as the second-largest carrier in Germany.

He added that growth opportunities being explored included flying migrant workers from Bulgaria and Romania to other parts of the EU, when workers from the two countries secured full employment rights in member states next year. "Our growth in Poland has been driven [by] migrant workers going back and forth [to their home country]," he said.

Ryanair paid a maiden special dividend worth €500m in 2010, with a second distributed last year, and Mr Millar said a further payment to shareholders was possible in 2014-15. The company's shares closed up almost 7 per cent at €6.75.

Like easyJet, Ryanair has benefited from consumers turning from European flag carriers to budget airlines during the economic downturn.

Ryanair reported revenue of €4.9bn for the year to March 31, up 13 per cent compared with the previous year, as the number of passengers carried by the Irish airline rose 5 per cent to 79.3m.

The company's average fare increased 6 per cent to €48, while ancillary revenue – charges beyond the basic flight ticket – climbed 20 per cent to €1.1bn. This was partly driven by Ryanair giving passengers the opportunity to reserve their seats for an additional fee.

Operating profit – excluding one-off items that boosted earnings in 2011-12 – increased by 16 per cent to €718.2m. Net income rose 2 per cent to €569.3m.

Ryanair expects to report net income of between €570m and €600m for 2013-14, partly because of higher costs involving fuel and airport charges. However, analysts noted that the company has a habit of issuing conservative guidance.

Mr Millar confirmed Ryanair would continue with court appeals against the European Commission's prohibition in February of its proposed takeover of Aer Lingus, and a UK regulatory inquiry into its 30 per cent stake in the Irish flag carrier.

Davy
Aircraft order indicates that the focus is on controlled growth; we raise our price target to €7 DAVY VIEW Ryanair's order of 175 aircraft allows for renewed, controlled growth at 3-5% per annum, facilitating an increase in EU market share from c.15% to c.20%. Given that Ryanair's cost base (ex-fuel) is c.50% below that of its competitors, this should provide ample growth opportunity across Europe. Volume order pricing is described as "not dissimilar" to the last agreement. As we indicated in our January research note on the narrow-body aircraft market, slot positions were clearly available to the right buyers where there was an opportunity for bulk discounts to keep the production line going on the existing B737-800 NGs aircraft ahead of the production of the new, so-called Boeing MAX. The controlled growth will be funded from internal resources, and capex requirements should allow share buybacks/special dividends to resume when appropriate. The controlled growth should, in our view, protect unit revenue while enhancing the growth multiple. We therefore increase our price target from €6 to €7 and retain our outperform rating.

I see RYA is listed on the LSE but it doesn't seem to be part of the FTSE 100, FTSE 250..etc? Why is that? I realise this is also listed in Ireland but surely its big enough to be in the FTSE 350?

Special dividend and shareholder returns.
A 2
nd
special dividend of €489m (€0.34 per share) was approved at our September
AGM and will be paid to shareholders on November 30. Ryanair has returned
€1.53bn (via dividends and share buybacks) to shareholders over the past 5 years,
and this compares with a total equity raised of just €585m since Ryanair joined the
stock market in 1997. Over that period we have grown passenger volume from 3m to
79m p.a. while the fleet has expanded from 12 to 298 aircraft, and our balance
sheet is in a strong net cash position.

Ryanair weathering storm

Investors Chronicle

Ryanair is flying record numbers and successfully raising fares, so should have enough spare cash for more dividends

Ryanair had such a strong summer it has revised up forecasts for full-year profit by 20 per cent. It flew a record 48m passengers during the first half, an increase of 7 per cent, raised the average fare by 6 per cent and spent less than expected on fuel, too. Investors took that as a sign to jump aboard.

Profit after tax grew 10 per cent to €596m (£477m) despite the recession, fierce competition, higher airport charges and fuel bill of over €1.1bn. The introduction of reserved seating helped - sales of ancillary products leapt by a fifth to €583.8m. True, the traditionally quiet winter months limit visibility, but traffic is expected to increase by 4 per cent this year to over 79m passengers and net income to somewhere between €490m and €520m. That gives Ryanair about 12 per cent of Europe's short-haul market, but chief executive Michael O'Leary wants 18 per cent, or 120m passengers, within 10 years.

The target may look ambitious, but its costs per passenger are much lower than others, while rivals are going bust and legacy carriers such as IAG are cutting short-haul operations. A 'radical' package of remedies should increase Ryanair's chances of getting EU competition approval for its Aer Lingus bid, too, and record cash reserves of €3.9bn make more special dividends likely - a €0.34 a share one-off will be paid at the end of this month.

Broker Investec Securities expects adjusted pre-tax profit of €563.4m for the full year, giving adjusted EPS of 34.7¢ (from €557.3m and 33.4¢ in 2012).

IC VIEW:
Ryanair's results are impressive so, despite a tricky winter ahead and forward PE ratio of 14, we rate the shares a hold.
