eurosTravel restrictions
still impacting the Group’s
activity |
Over the first three months of the year, the
Group continued to be negatively impacted by travel restrictions as
the whole industry:
- Revenue at 2.2 billion euros, down
57% compared to last year
- EBITDA loss at -0.6 billion euros,
mitigated due to strict cost control and national partial activity
schemes
- Operating result at -1.2 billion
euros, down 0.4 billion euros compared to last year
- Net income at -1.5 billion euros,
after taking interest charges into account
- Net debt at 12.5 billion euros, up
1.5 billion compared to end of 2020
- At 31 March 2021, the Group has 8.5
billion euros of liquidity and credit lines at disposal
- Early April 2021, first set of
balance sheet strengthening measures successfully executed
resulting in an increase of €4bn equity and improved cash position
by €1bn
OUTLOOK
Due to the stricter lockdown in France until, at
least beginning of May, continuation of the lockdown in the
Netherlands and travel restrictions worldwide still in place, the
Group anticipates the beginning of the second quarter to be similar
to the first quarter whereby the customer booking behaviour is
still short-term oriented.
The key to reduce travel restrictions and reopen
borders is a rapid roll-out of wide-scale vaccination. In the US,
domestic demand is recovering rapidly due to the speed of the
vaccination process.
In this context, the Group expects capacity in
Available Seat kilometers circa index 50% for Air France-KLM in the
Second quarter 2021 compared to 2019 for the Network passenger
activity.During the second half of the second quarter the Group
will progressively ramp up capacity given the vaccination
deployment in Europe.
For the Third quarter the Group foresees a
capacity in Available Seat kilometers index in the range of 55% to
65% compared to 2019 for the Network passenger activity thanks to
estimated higher demand.
The Air France-KLM Group continues to work to
strengthen its balance sheet. Additional measures of equity and
quasi-equity instruments are currently under consideration.
Extraordinary resolutions will be presented at the next Annual
General Meeting, aiming to give the Board of Directors great
flexibility to restore equity.

The Board of Directors of Air France-KLM,
chaired by Ms. Anne-Marie Couderc, met on May 5, 2021 to approve
the financial statements for the First quarter 2021. Group CEO Mr.
Benjamin Smith said:
“A year into the COVID crisis, lockdown measures
and travel restrictions in our home markets and around the world
continue to strongly impact the Group’s activity. In this
ever-challenging environment, the Group has nevertheless shown its
resilience, maintaining a strict control of its capacity and costs”
said Benjamin Smith, CEO of Air France – KLM. “The success of the
first set of capital-strengthening measures completed in April,
allows us to look forward to the summer season with greater
confidence, hoping that the progress of the vaccination roll-out
worldwide and the implementation of travel passes will allow
borders to reopen and traffic to recover. In the meantime, we have
accelerated the implementation of our transformation plan to build
a solid post-crisis model. This includes the execution of our
voluntary departure plans, which are progressing as expected. In
the coming months, we will continue our strict cost control
approach while reinforcing our sustainability commitments, in line
with our ambitious environmental roadmap."

First quarter 2021 revenues decreased by 55.5%
at constant currency to 1.9 billion euros. The operating result
amounted to -1.1 billion euros, a 350 million euros decrease at
constant currency compared to last year. Ongoing focus on cash flow
by continuing the deferral of payments, cost savings measures,
negotiations with suppliers on payment terms, staff reductions and
partial activity schemes.

Last year March the Group was already heavily
impacted by the Covid-19 crisis. The passenger network activity in
the First quarter was reduced at 54% of last year’s level while the
number of passengers decreased by 72%. Compared with the First
quarter of 2019 the Available Seat Kilometers were at index 48%.
Thanks to the Group’s balanced network and strong Cargo business
the passenger network activity level was above the estimated
capacity level guided during the Fourth quarter 2020 results
presentation and the Group operated more capacity than their
competitors.
During the First quarter, the Group added two
Embraer 195 E2 to the fleet and welcomed as well one Airbus 350-900
and two Boeing 777-300. With these investments the Group continue
to build an efficient fleet and shows its sustainable
commitment.

Limited air cargo capacity together with high
demand resulted in the First quarter again in a high loadfactor and
high yield in the cargo industry. Despite a reduction in capacity
of -15.8%, primarily driven by the reduction in belly capacity of
passenger aircraft, the Group was able to increase the transported
Tons and showed unit revenue per ATK up 131.7% against constant
currency versus last year.
Since the start of the Covid-19 vaccin
transportation, Air France-KLM Cargo has transported millions
Covid-19 vaccines to more than 30 destinations worldwide. During
the coming months the Group estimates a steady increase in the
number of vaccine shipments.

The First quarter operating result ended -38
million euros lower compared to last year at an operational loss of
-120 million euros, as a result of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis with
strict border restrictions in Europe and North Africa.
First quarter activity level was only around 20%
of last year’s production, with a unit revenue down -21.6% compared
to 2020. Load factor at 57.6% was impacted by travel restrictions
imposed. The production level of Transavia France was slightly
higher at and index of 26 compared to 2020, thanks to the start of
domestic routes.
Transavia plan to grow is still valid, well
positioned to capture the leisure traffic recovery foreseen in the
coming months towards the end of the summer, being a major
opportunity for the Group’s competitiveness gain. The adding of
eight Boeing 737-800 aircraft to Transavia France fleet in the
first quarter is part of this
plan.Maintenance:

The First quarter operating result stood at -8
million euros, a decrease of 5 million euros, against a constant
currency an increase of 9 million euros.
During the First quarter 2021, third-party
revenues declined by 47.5%. This decrease is explained not only by
the COVID crisis starting mid-March 2020, but also by the work made
by the Maintenance business to reduce the airlines costs for
example through use of greentime to avoid engine shop visits as
much as possible. Despite this drop in external revenues the
operating margin stabilized versus the First quarter 2020. Salary
cost decreased thanks to partial activity schemes and a sharp drop
in other cost was visibile during the First quarter versus Last
year due to a reduced number of shop visits of Air France-KLM Group
airlines.

In the First quarter 2021, the Air France-KLM
Group posted an operating result of -627 million euros, down by 566
million euros compared to last year.
Net income amounted to -1.5 billion euros in the
First quarter 2021, an increase of 320 million euros compared to
last year. The net income result is mainly driven by the
operational result and the cost of financial debt.The net income of
the first quarter 2020 included Covid-19 related over hedging -455
million euros, release of deferred tax assets -173 million euros
and impairment of Boeing 747 aircraft -21 million euros.
The
First quarter 2021 unit
cost increased by
20.7%,
primarily caused by Covid-19 related capacity
reductions
Group net employee costs were down 39% in the
first quarter of 2021 compared to last year, supported by staff
reductions and partial activity schemes. The average number of FTEs
(Full Time Equivalent) stood at 76,500 in March 2021, down 400 FTE
compared to December 2020.

debt.
The Group generated adjusted operating free cash
flow in First quarter 2021 of -1.3 billion euros, a decrease of 519
million euros compared to last year. Mainly explained by a net cash
flow from operating activities decline of 1.2 billion euros, partly
offset by a reduction in net investments of 612 million euros.
Deferred state tax liabilities and employee
related liabilities in combination with continuing focus on working
capital management the Group was able to mitigate the negative
change in working capital to -92 million euros in the first
quarter.
Since the beginning of the crisis, Air France,
KLM and Transavia proceeded 2.8 billion euros of refunds to
customers, of which 550 million euros during the First quarter
2021.

OUTLOOK
Due to the stricter lockdown in France until, at
least beginning of May, continuation of the lockdown in the
Netherlands and travel restrictions worldwide still in place, the
Group anticipates a difficult start of the Second quarter whereby
the customer booking behaviour is still short-term oriented.
The key to reduce travel restrictions and reopen
borders is a rapid roll-out of wide-scale vaccination. The
vaccination pace in Europe is slower than in the US where the
domestic demand recovers quickly thanks to the high speed
vaccination process.
In this context the Group expects capacity in
Available Seat kilometers circa index 50% for Air France-KLM in the
Second quarter 2021 compared to 2019 for the Network passenger
activity.During the second half of the second quarter the Group
will progressively ramp up capacity given the vaccination
deployment in Europe.
For the Third quarter the Group foresees a
capacity in Available Seat kilometers between index 55% and 65%
compared to 2019 for the Network passenger activity thanks to
estimated higher demand.
At 31 March 2021, the Group has a 8.5 billion
euros of liquidity and credit lines at disposal. This level can be
considered comfortable, given the expected recovery in the summer,
despite the cash requirements for 2021 which include:
- Q2 2021 EBITDA expected to be in
the same range as EBITDA Q1 2021
- Capex spending inferior at 2.0
billion euros in 2021, but largely funded for fleet
investments
- Restructuring cash out at 0.5
billion euros in 2021, part of which is financed by the associated
reduction in the wage bill
A first set of capital strengthening measures
was successfully executed in April and resulted in an increase in
equity of 4 billion euros and cash of 1 billion euros.
The Air France-KLM group continues to work on
strengthening its balance sheet. Additional equity and quasi-equity
measures are currently under consideration. Extraordinary
resolutions will be presented at the next Annual General Meeting,
aiming to give the Board of Directors great flexibility to restore
equity and initiate the gradual refinancing of state aid and
restore leverage ratio.
