easyJet remains optimistic despite half-year loss topping £500 million

UK-based low-cost carrier easyJet has published its latest financial results for the half-year period ending on March 31st, 2022. During this time, the orange-liveried airline’s losses exceeded £500 million, which, while a significant deficit, does represent a year-on-year improvement. 

An important figure in easyJet’s half-year results was a pre-tax headline loss of £545 million ($637 million). Despite the striking nature of this deficit, the airline is in a better position than for the same period last year, when its pre-tax headline loss amounted to £701 million ($866 million). 

Looking closer at easyJet’s report, it is clear that its revenues have increased significantly, rising by 524% from £240 million ($297 million) to £1.498 billion ($1.851 billion). This has come about due to the airline increasing the number of flights operated, thus generating more revenue through ticket sales and ancillaries.

However, by increasing its capacity, the airline’s headline costs have also risen, albeit not as sharply. Overall, this figure increased by 117% to £2.043 billion ($2.525 billion), compared to £941 million ($1.163 billion) for the same period last year.

Increasing its capacity has been a key part of easyJet’s recovery, with the easing of relaxations in the countries it serves playing a key role in enabling this. The overall result is that its capacity for the most recent half-year period exceeded 30 million seats, a 373.4% increase compared to 6.4 million for the same period last year.

The number of passengers flown grew by an even bigger margin rising by 470.7% from 4.1 million to 23.4 million. This, in turn, caused a 13.6% increase in the airline’s load factor, which has risen from 63.7% to 77.3%. Going forward this year, easyJet expects further growth, with its CEO Johan Lundgren stating that:

“In the second half, leisure and domestic capacity will be above 2019 levels. (…) We expect to operate 90% of FY19 capacity in Q3, and we have capacity on sale of around 97% of FY19 flying in Q4 with easyJet holidays now on track to carry over 1.1 million customers this financial year. (…) We are ready to capture the increased levels of demand right across our network.”

While reaching pre-pandemic capacity levels will be an important milestone on many airlines’ roads to recovery, it is important not to rush such growth, as this can present its own issues.
