Maybe clown posts , maybe not , sapp why isn’t EZJ going to the moon?
It seems your analysis and workings out don’t match what the company put out, IF your ramping is correct and then the company backs it up in their results then fair dos.

Yes I understand season loss, half year, approx 350m , even on 89% capacity seats filled?

I’m not saying EZJ isn’t recovering from post pandemic, it is just like other airlines are, but it’s got along way to go to prove to the markets that they can convert hype into actual cash and real profits.

Rampers with agenda’s state the positives but not the risks, the predict the moon

There’s a ton load companies which are undervalued , it’s just the U.K. markets are not in favour.

Simple facts are USA markets have done well over the last year or so but we are in a jittery period now with inflation/interest rates/ oil price rises on one hand and wars breaking out, if USA market go down then obviously U.K. markets will follow suit, it’s just they did not rise much in the first place when the markets were doing well in the US.

Many of my milestones hit in the update. Substantial reduction in the inevitable winter loss. easyJet holidays+206% in H1 is incredible . Holidays 70% sold for the summer. Flights forward sold 60% on what is a substantially larger network some of which has just become available.
easyJet are well placed for a massive summer season and substantial profit this year, especially the holiday business.
Israel capacity redeployed as expected.

The business is built for the summer and over winter it's impossible to carry the summer scale profitably. I hope one day they can reduce the seasonal loss to £250m. They are well on the way. Q4 should provide £750-850m profit. This will make for a more realistic dividend with H2 profit potentially around £1bn chalking up a £650m profit at 20% dividend.

Summary

easyJet has reduced its first half “seasonal” losses, with headline loss
before tax expected to be between £340 and £360 million. This improvement
was driven by targeted capacity growth where demand was strongest,
alongside productivity and utilisation benefits which enabled ex-fuel unit
costs to remain flat year-on-year. The result was achieved despite
headwinds from fuel cost (per seat inflation of +6%) and the conflict in
the Middle East which resulted in a direct impact2 of c. £40 million in
H1’24. Flying into Israel has now been suspended for the summer with this
limited capacity (c.0.3% of planned summer flying) being redeployed across
the network. We continue to drive growth at easyJet holidays, with £31
million of profit before tax (+206% compared to H1’23) and 42% customer
growth year-on-year.



Easter demand was particularly strong, benefitting March due to its early
timing. Operational performance was good with peak daily flights broadly
in line with summer levels. On-Time Performance (OTP) over Easter improved
year-on-year as a result of easyJet’s targeted resilience actions.



Bookings for summer 2024 continue to build well, with an increase in
volume and pricing compared to the same period last year, underpinned by
strong demand for easyJet’s primary airport network. Q3’24 currently has
c. 60% of the program sold, +1ppt and Q4’24 is c. 30% sold, +2 ppts
year-on-year. easyJet holidays has currently sold 70% of the plan for this
summer.



Johan Lundgren, CEO of easyJet, said:

“The importance that consumers place on travel coupled with easyJet’s
trusted brand has driven good demand for our flights and holidays. Our
growth and focus on productivity have reduced winter losses by more than
£50 million.

“We have further enhanced our network with the launch of new bases in
Alicante and Birmingham providing greater choice for consumers across
Europe.

“We are well set up operationally for this summer season where we expect
easyJet to be one of the fastest growing major airlines in Europe and take
more customers on easyJet holidays than ever before.”

Revenue, Cost and Liquidity

Total group revenue and headline costs for the first half are expected to
be around £3,270 million and around £3,620 million respectively. Pricing
was very strong at the start of the period, with October seeing RPS of
+12% year-on-year. However, the onset of the conflict in the Middle East
on 7 October resulted in a pause in flights to Israel and Jordan and a
temporary slowdown in flight bookings for the wider industry. Demand and
bookings recovered strongly from late November with the second quarter
seeing RPS of +8% year-on-year, supported in part due to the start of
Easter holidays falling into March.



Our focus on increased productivity and utilisation offset inflationary
cost pressure, which all airlines and the wider supply chain continue to
see. This resulted in non-fuel unit costs being flat year-on-year, as
previously guided.

easyJet continues to have one of the strongest investment grade balance
sheets in European Aviation (Baa2, stable, by Moody's and BBB, positive,
by Standard & Poor's). As at 31 March 2024 our net cash position was
c.£146 million (31 December 2023 net debt: £485 million). easyJet repaid a
€500 million Eurobond which matured in October 2023 and then on 20 March
2024 easyJet issued an €850 million bond with a coupon of 3.750%, maturing
in 2031.



Financing costs benefitted from a decrease in gross debt and a rise in the
interest rate on floating-rate cash deposits. However, foreign exchange
movements over the period resulted in a non-operational, non-cash FX loss
of £6 million from balance sheet revaluations.

A copy of this Trading Statement is available at
[1]



1) Represents the number of earned seats flown. Earned seats include seats
which are flown whether or not the passenger turns up, as easyJet is a no
refund airline and once a flight has departed, a no-show customer is
generally not entitled to change flights or seek a refund. Earned seats
also include seats provided for promotional purposes and to staff for
business travel.

2) Direct impact of £40 million relates to the lost contribution in H1’24
from pausing flying to Israel and Jordan alongside the demand softness
seen in Egypt following the onset of the conflict in the Middle East on 7
October 2023.

3) Represents the number of passengers as a proportion of the number of
seats available for passengers. No weighting of the load factor is carried
out to recognise the effect of varying flight (or "sector") lengths.

4) easyJet holidays numbers include elimination of intercompany airline
transactions.



This announcement may contain statements which constitute 'forward-looking
statements'. Although easyJet believes that the expectations reflected in
these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance
that these expectations will prove to have been correct. Because these
statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ

I don’t hold EZJ, and no real intention to buy, if it drops back to 350p - 400p range (I doubt it will, but you never know) then I may take a position, my money in U.K. shares is doing better elsewhere.

All days like today prove is money is not in the bank, Sapp will hype this to hell because he has an agenda, the moon isn’t high enough for EZJ according to him.

Re: Grounding of Boeing 737 Max

I don't know how accurate this site is but according to them EZJ DON'T use Boeing 737 MAX in their fleet, whilst Ryanair do. If passengers are concerned then they more likely to fly EZJ.





I believe EZJ will do well over this year. I don't hold atm as I'm expecting the markets to fall.
