Tomorrow estimate12 Nov 2025 09:05
Here is my prediction for tomorrow:
- H1 Revenue: 3,383 mio vs 3,066 H1F25
- H1 ASK: 64.484 bio vs 61,607 in H1F25
- H1 RASK: 5,00 cents vs 4,98 in H1F25
- CASK: 4,57 vs 4,54 in H1F25
- Ex-fuel: 3,22 vs 3,00 in H1F25
- EBIDTA: 980 mio vs 826 in H1F25
- Operating result: 390 mio
-Net result: 300-350 mio
- Period end fleet: 243 vs 224
- GTF grounding at 30 Sep: 35 vs 41 at 30 Sep 2024
- H1 equivalent fleet: 234 vs 216
- H1 equivalent operating fleet: 191 vs 177 in H1F25
Less GTF groundings YoY and larger fleet would suggest relief on depreciation cost pressure. However there were a lot of aircraft grounded (and still are) related to the closure of Abu Dhabi. So the overall portion of inactive fleet is similar to H1F25 and I assume the cost pressure is still there.
Deliveries/redeliveries/SLB:
- 11 in Q1, 8 in Q2, 19 total deliveries in H1. Based on their F25 annual report one spare engine SLB in Q1. No reliable data on which AC is financed via operating lease and generating SLB gain and which AC via JOLCO, FTL or similar. I collected all public news related to the topic and have confirmed 7 AC SLBs in Q1 and 2 in Q2. There might be more though without a press release. In Q1 they reported 28 mio SLB gain which I assume is related to 7 AC and one engine SLBs. And my feeling is that they make more money on an engine SLB than on an AC. My guesstimate is 2,5 mio USD gain per AC. Volaris reported 6,6 mio gain on 3 SLBs from the same Indigo order. In F26 in total they plan to have 42 SLBs out of the ~50 deliveries. This will well support either Q2 or Q3-4.
- End of lease: 7 redeliveries in H1 vs 7 in entire F25. And more to come. At lease 3-4 AC is undergoing EoL at the moment. This will be a headwind both for Q2 and Q3-4 putting further pressure on depr/maintenance CASK.
Before Pogo goes mental: this is not an advise, I might be completely wrong. I am using only publicly available data. This is my estimate only and nobody should make any decision based on this! Stock price movement will be more related to the forward guidance and not the actual H1 figures anyway. So do your own research!
