RYANAIR ANNOUNCE RECORD Q.1 RESULTS NET PROFIT RISES 80% TO €116m - TRAFFIC GROWS 25% TO 10.7m

Ryanair, Europe’s No.1 low fares airline, today (August 1, 2006) announced record profits of €115.7m for its first Quarter ended June 30, 2006. Traffic grew by 25% to 10.7m passengers, yields increased 13%, ancillary revenues climbed 31%, and consequently total revenues rose by 40% to €566.6m. Unit costs excluding fuel fell by 2% (including fuel they rose by 6%) as fuel costs rose by 52% to €167.5m. The increase in profitability boosted cash balances which rose by €212.4m to €2.18bn. As a result, Ryanair’s adjusted after tax margin for the Quarter rose by 4 points to 20% as Q.1 Adjusted Net Profit increased by a record 80% to €115.7m.

Summary Table of Results (IFRS) - in Euro

Quarter Ended June 30, 2005 June 30, 2006 % Increase
Passengers 8.5m 10.7m +25%
Revenue €404.6m €566.6m +40%
Profit after tax (Note 1) €64.4m €115.7m +80%
Basic EPS (Euro Cents) (Note 1) 8.47c 15.00c +77%

Note 1: Adjusted profit after tax and EPS during the Quarter ended 30 June, 2005 excludes a receipt, net of tax, of €5.2m arising from the settlement of an insurance claim for the scribing of 6 Boeing 737-200 aircraft.

Announcing these results Ryanair’s Chief Executive, Michael O’Leary, said:

“These bumper Q.1 profits – which were strongly signalled at the time of our full year results in June – reflect a much stronger yield environment despite substantially higher oil prices. We would caution however, based on advanced bookings, that we do not expect this yield buoyancy to be maintained at similar levels during the second quarter or indeed the second half of the fiscal year. The underlying causes of these stronger Q.1 yields was primarily the presence of Easter in the quarter (and its absence from the prior year comparable), many more “sun” destinations, the impact of competitors fuel surcharges which continue to drive traffic towards Ryanair, the initial impact of our baggage charging initiative, and the earlier launch of our new bases and routes, much of which took place in the fourth quarter last year.

We are pleased that ancillary revenues grew by 31% from an already significant base, as the growth of ancillary sales continues to outpace that of scheduled traffic. As we stimulate further traffic growth with lower fares, we find that passengers are more willing to spend some of their savings on additional products and services such as car hire, hotels and travel insurance.

Our new bases at Liverpool, East Midlands and Shannon continue to perform well, with strong bookings over the Summer months, albeit that fares at Shannon continue to be lower than expected. We plan to announce two new bases over the coming months with launch dates in early 2007, as well as further expansion of our existing bases.

During the quarter fuel costs rose by 52% to €167.5m. Excluding fuel unit costs fell by 2% as we continue to aggressively manage costs in all other areas. Fuel prices continue to be high and volatile. We have recently extended our hedging position, so that we are 90% hedged to the end of October at $70 per barrel and 90% hedged for November and December at $74 per barrel. Thereafter we remain unhedged for the January to March 2007 quarter, but we continue to monitor forward rates and will try to avail of any suitable opportunity to hedge out our outstanding requirement for the fiscal year.

During the quarter we exercised options for delivery of ten further Boeing 737-800 series aircraft in 2008. The addition of these new aircraft will enable us to continue to drive down our aircraft and operating costs. The penetration of web based check-in continues to improve with some flights achieving 50% of web check-in. We will aggressively promote web check-in and priority boarding for passengers travelling with hand luggage. We intend to continue to exploit initiatives such as web check-in to reduce our costs, whilst at the same time providing passengers with superior service such as avoiding check-in queues and priority boarding.

We strongly welcome the take-over of the BAA airport monopoly by Ferrovial and look forward to their review of plans and costings for the second runway at Stansted. We anticipate that this review will confirm that a second runway and terminal can be built at a more realistic cost of £1bn, rather than the £4bn gold plated Taj Mahal proposed by the BAA airport monopoly. The Ferrovial takeover highlighted that the BAA were able to fund a £1bn “pay-off” to its shareholders just three months after it was telling the CAA Regulator that “it couldn’t afford” to pay for the second terminal at Stansted without doubling passenger charges. This revelation should encourage the Regulator to take a much more sceptical approach to the BAA’s submissions and finalise a regulatory review which meets the needs of users rather than featherbedding the BAA’s monopoly profits. We also welcome the OFT probe into the present monopoly ownership of Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports. Monopolies don’t work and don’t serve the needs of consumers. Real competition between these three airports will lead to lower airport charges and better facilities for passengers, and Ryanair will continue to strongly campaign for the break-up of the BAA airport monopoly, which has for many years delivered high passenger charges and abysmal facilities at the London airports.

Our outlook for the remainder of this fiscal year remains cautious. As we emphasised at the time of our full year results in June, we expected a bumper set of Q.1 results, and a strong second quarter, but we believe that the forthcoming Winter will be characterised by much more difficult trading conditions. Ryanair will increase its fleet by 27 aircraft this Winter (compared to last year’s net increase of just 15) during which we will launch many more new routes and bases. This combination of substantial Winter capacity expansion, higher oil prices (now $74 per barrel compared to our original forecast of $70) and price dumping by loss making competitors will mean another very difficult Winter trading period and if oil prices are higher than $74, we may even sustain losses during the fourth quarter this year. Based on our current fuel hedges and the forward price of oil for the unhedged quarter, we anticipate that the increase in net profit after tax for the fiscal year will still be within the range of our previous guidance of +5% to +10% increase and that almost all of these profits will be generated in Q.1 and Q.2, with a consequent reduction in profitability during Q.3 and Q.4 compared to last year.

We remain on target to achieve our objective of becoming the world’s largest international scheduled airline by passenger traffic, whilst at the same time growing profitability and reducing costs for the benefit of our passengers, our people and our shareholders. We continue to believe that this growth in traffic and profits will be achieved thanks to Ryanair’s unique combination of lowest costs, lowest fares and industry leading customer service”.

imponerende!

[Isbamse]

Og som vanlig med en del propaganda mot ting som koster penger....

Bullshit!

[imm]

Selvfølgelig. Det er en del av Ryanairs strategi ser det ut som. Alltid å presse priser. Mens andre selskaper ser ut til å stå med hatten i hånda og spør pent, så går Ryanair stikk motsatte vei. Der andre klarer å spare ei krone, der sparer Ryanair 10. Og sånt blir det penger av, når regnskapet skal gjøres opp.

Så kan man si at konseptet ikke passer alle. Men 25% økning i passasjertallet, til 8,5 millioner passasjerer får man heller ikke ved tilfeldigheter.

Customer service? For meg er det å bli tatt fra A til B på en trygg måte, og at jeg kan forvente å komme frem når jeg skal. Det går i de aller aller fleste tilfeller svært greit.

Hva begrunner en dette for løgn?

Har Ryanair færre fornøyde passasjerer enn f.eks SAS Braathens/Norwegian?
Har Ryanair flere forsinkede fly enn f.eks SAS Braathens/Norwegian?

Sikkert mange måter man kan diskutere kundeservice på.
Ryanair sjekker ikke gjennomgående. Det er en ulempe for mange.
Og Ryanair booker ikke over til andre flyselskap ved store forsinkelser eller kanselleringer. Det er også selvfølgelig en ulempe.

Men de er gode på å få flyene sine avgårde. Og det til oppsatt tid. Og du kommer dit du skal, sammen med bagasjen din. De har høyere punklighet enn mange andre, og ligger på topp med å få bagasjen dit de skal. Og det er kanskje det de mener med kundeservice i Ryanair? Ikke vet jeg, men jeg tipper det.

Den voldsomme økningen er jo basert på folk gang på gang kommer tilbake som fornøyde kunder som får grei billig transport fra A til B. På årsbasis har de nå over 40 mill pax. Misfornøyde ??

Som meg. Kommer tilbake så ofte det er mulig .....

Skjærer noe seg, kan det bli noen misfornøyde kunder som DY for to uker siden til Split, NB ga blaffen i sine kunder sist helg på BCN, etc. etc.

[Isbamse]

Kundeservice handler om å oppfylle forventninger. Kundene hos FR har vel etter hvert lært å ikke forvente noe annet enn å bli fraktet fra A til B, og de vet at overvekt og alt annet koster penger. Hvis FR oppfyller det får de gode statistikker.

Hvorvidt FRs hjemmelagede statistiskker er sammenlignbare ed andre offisielle statistikker kan sikkert diskuteres, men det bør gjøres på riktig premiss.

[PP]

Industriens ledende kundeservice! De fleste (dem jeg kender ihvertfald) som har haft problemer i forbindelse med Ryanair kan vist blive enige om, at kundeservice rent faktisk er et ikke eksisterende begreb hos Ryanair.

Nej i mine øjne er det et møgselskab, med en forretningsmoral som ligger langt under lavmålet - basta!

100% ENIG

Man kan nok være uening i forretningsmoral, men Ryanair kan jo vise til gode tall på det meste, både passasjer, bagasje, on-time og kundetilfredshet virker det som.

Sier ikke at en ikke kan synes enkelte selskaper er "dårlige", men å si at dem driver med løgn og viser dem "rompa-ikonet" synes ikke jeg er smakelig.

Hvem har sagt sandheden er universiel og objektiv? Den statistik som Ryanair producerer kan man desuden efter min mening sige meget om - men at kalde den valid kan man ikke...
