OUTLOOKHigh level of uncertainty on the duration of the Covid-19 crisis and impact on the macro-economic environment. The Group withdraws its earlier 2020 guidance elements.The Group now anticipates:

  • Progressive lifting of border restrictions in 2020, enabling a slow capacity resumption in Summer 2020, with capacity for the second and third quarter 2020 around respectively -95% and -80% compared to previous year
  • A prolonged negative impact on passenger demand, not expected to recover to pre-crisis levels before several years
  • A fleet repositioning including structural capacity reduction of at least -20% in 2021 compared to pre-crisis 2019 level

The Group foresees significantly  negative EBITDA in full year 2020 and a significantly higher current operating income loss in the second quarter than in the first quarter 2020.

The Board of Directors of Air France-KLM, chaired by Anne-Marie Couderc, met on 6 May 2020 to approve the financial statements for the first quarter 2020. Benjamin Smith, Chief Executive Officer of the Air France-KLM Group, said: "The Air France-KLM Group had a promising start to the first quarter in line with the objectives of the strategic plan presented in November 2019. However, the acceleration of the Covid-19 crisis in March had a strong impact on the Group's first quarter results. I would like to thank our teams for their exceptional mobilization in this unprecedented crisis. The Air France-KLM Group has adapted rapidly, by implementing health safety measures essential to our staff and customers, reducing our costs to preserve our liquidity, continuously adjusting our flight schedule, and the many repatriation flights and flights to transport medical equipment. Uncertainties remain regarding the evolution of Covid-19 and we must be cautious in the assumptions of recovery in the coming months. Nevertheless, the commitment to financial support of the French and Dutch governments to our Group, as well as that our banking partners participating in these schemes, is a strong testimony of their confidence in our ability to weather this crisis and rebuild. We are working on a renewal plan to ensure that the Air France-KLM Group regains its competitiveness in a deeply shaken world and reaffirms its leadership in the sustainable transition of air transport. These new orientations will be presented in the coming months.”

Until the end of February 2020 the passenger network activity performance was good with stable unit revenue at constant currency compared to last year:North America unit revenues slightly down due to high capacity growth, which was mainly an Asian fleet redeployment effect, following Covid-19 outbreak.Asian network already impacted by the Covid-19, whereby all flights to China were suspended as of 30 January 2020.Strong performance in Medium-haul network unit revenue thanks to moderate industry capacity growth and ongoing rationalization of the domestic France network

For the entire first quarter 2020 capacity declined by 10.5% and unit revenues at -8.1% at constant currency compared to last year, down in all markets due to Covid-19 crisis impact acceleration during the month of March 2020.

Cargo: Performance in the first quarter 2020 impacted by reduced belly capacity, partly offset by increase in full freighter activity

  First Quarter
Cargo business 2020 Change Change constant currency
Tons (thousands) 242 -10.1%

Unit revenue remained under strong pressure till February 2020, while positive for March due to a rate increase as an effect of the wide body belly capacity crunch, overall first quarter 2020 unit revenue was down 10.0% compared to last year at constant currency.

Cargo industry capacity is impacted by the Covid-19 crisis and is approximately 35% lower compared to last year with wide-body belly capacity down 85% and full freighter capacity up 14%.  

On the demand side, world-wide air freight volumes are down due to Covid-19 crisis and supply-demand balance is foreseen to remain volatile in the next months with production lines opening up and limited belly capacity. The Group anticipates to the strong demand on certain Cargo routes, particularly Asia to Europe by adding production by means of increasing utilization of its full freighters, temporarily redeployment of phased-out 747-combi aircraft and is testing with Cargo in passenger aircraft cabins.The Group has in close cooperation with the French and Dutch governments setup an “air bridge” between its home markets and China for relieve goods and medical supplies.

Transavia France and the Netherlands have temporarily fully grounded their fleet. Actions have been taken to preserve cash including reduction of investments, cost savings measures, deferral of supplier payments and partial activity measures.

The increase in unit revenue by 13.1% in the first quarter 2020 is explained by a good performance until end of February with unit revenues 10% above last year combined with high level of ferry flights for passenger returns in month of March 2020. The Transavia unit cost for the first quarter increased by 15.1% at constant fuel and currency, explained by the reduction in capacity at the end of the quarter.Overall the impact of Covid-19 crisis on the month of March is fully causing the first quarter 2020 operating result decline of 12 million euros compared to last year.

2019 results restated for LLP componentization accounting change and EU passenger compensation reclassification between revenues and external expenses

In the first quarter 2020, the Air France-KLM Group posted an operating result of -815 million euros, down by 529 million euros compared to last year, entirely caused by March 2020 with an operating result at -560 million euros.

Net income amounted to -1,801 million euros in 2020, a decrease of 1,477 million euros compared to last year, of which exceptional accounting items due to Covid-19 for impairment on 8 Boeing 747s -21 million euros, accelerated depreciation on Airbus 380 -25 million euros, fuel “over hedge” -455 million euros and reduction of deferred income tax asset -173 million euros.

Deferred income tax asset -173 million euros:Following the current COVID-19 crisis, the perspectives of recoverability within the seven years horizon have been downward revised leading to a write-off of €311 million of deferred tax assets for tax losses compared to the opening position of the fiscal year 2020 at the level of the French Tax.

Fuel “over hedge” -455 million euros for the remainder of 2020:As a result of capacity reductions and lower fuel consumption forecasts, the Group is in a position of over-hedging. The change in fair value, initially recognized in equity, has been recycled to “Other financial income and expenses”

The first quarter 2020 fuel bill including hedging stood at 1,185 million euros.

Currencies had a positive 71 million euro impact on revenues and a negative 32 million euro effect on costs (ex-fuel) including currency hedging in the first quarter of 2020.

The first quarter 2020 unit cost increased by 3.5%, primarily caused by Covid-19 related capacity reductions

On a constant currency and fuel price basis, unit costs were up 3.5% in the first quarter 2020.

Group net employee costs were down 2.8% in 2020 compared to last year, supported by partial activity implementation at Air France in last 2 weeks of March 2020, release of hired staff and no profit sharing provisions to be made at both airlines. The average number of FTEs (Full Time Equivalent) in first quarter 2020 increased by 600 compared to last year, including an additional 450 Pilots and 450 Cabin Crew.

OUTLOOK

High level of uncertainty on the duration of the Covid-19 crisis and impact on the macro-economic environment. Therefore the Group withdraws its earlier 2020 guidance elements.The Group now anticipates:       ·Progressive lifting of border restrictions in 2020, enabling a slow capacity resumption in Summer 2020, with capacity for the second and third quarter 2020 at around respectively              ~-95% and ~-80% compared to previous year

  • A prolonged negative impact on passenger demand, not expected to recover to pre-crisis levels before several years
  • A fleet repositioning including structural reduction in capacity of at least -20% in 2021 compared to pre-crisis 2019 level

              The Group foresees significantly negative EBITDA in full year 2020 and a significantly higher current operating income loss in the second quarter than in the first quarter 2020.

As an integral part of the financing packages the Group will build a new transformation plan to ensure economic and financial sustainability over the medium and long term with integration of new ambitious environmental goals. This new plan will be communicated in the summer of 2020.

             CASH PROTECTION MEASURES IMPLEMENTED IN RESPONSE TO THE COVID-19 CRISISThe Group has implemented most stringent cash preservation measures in response to the COVID-19 crisis to ensure operational cash cost savings, including:

  • Capacity reductions delivering around 50% variable cost savings
  • Estimated savings at 350 million euros per month in the second quarter 2020 from Group partial activity and crew variable pay reduction
  • Other cost measures totaling 500 million euros in 2020, for which further revisions are ongoing including termination of most of the temporary employee contracts

Furthermore, the Group has revised its capital expenditure plan 2020 by 1.2 billion euros to 2.4 billion euros compared to 3.6 billion euros in the previous guidance, of which 0.9 billion euros was already engaged. This includes the deferral of 3 Airbus 350s to 2021 and the remaining fleet deliveries in 2020 are expected to be primarily engaged under financing arrangements.Other Cash protection measures taken include the deferral of 570 million euros of tax and social charges payments beyond 2020 and further deferrals of suppliers’ payables and the airlines of the Group have established a customer voucher policy in line with industry practice.

LIQUIDITY REQUIREMENT FORESEEN IN THE THIRD QUARTER 2020Despite these cash preservation measures the Group has indicated the need for additional liquidity in the third quarter 2020, considering an negative operational cash cost burn around 400 million euros per month in the second quarter 2020, and a high level of uncertainty on the crisis impact in third and fourth quarters. In addition there are the financial and other cash impacts3, a capital expenditure plan of 2.4 billion euros for the full year 2020, a working capital risk estimated at around 2.5 billion euros mainly from deferred ticket revenues.Therefore an initial financing package of 7 billion euros through a bank loan guaranteed by the French state and a direct shareholder loan from the French state is approved by the EU. It will enable the Group to meet Air France’s financial obligations and ensure recovery of activity beyond the current crisis. Discussions with the Dutch state and banks are ongoing on financial support directed to KLM.
