2023 FINANCIAL RESULTS PRESENTATION

March 2024

KEY HIGHLIGHTS

Another set of stellar results: EBITDA margin of 31.4% in 2023 marks one of the best performances in the world!

Traffic

  • Total ASK grew 22% YoY in 2023, in line with the guidance provided. International ASK grew 26% YoY in 2023, standing 54% higher compared to 2019.
  • Total passenger volume increased by 19% YoY in 2023. International passenger volume grew 24% YoY in 2023, standing 36% higher vs. 2019.
  • International pax per cyle reached 169 pax in 2023 (173 pax in 4Q23), up from 161 pax in 2022 and 156 pax in 2019.

Financial Performance

  • Revenues at EUR2.7bn in 2023 (+9% YoY, +54% vs. 2019). Ancillary rev/pax reached EUR25.4 (+9 YoY, +70% vs 2019).
  • RASK-CASKspread amounted to EURc0.89 in 2023 (nearly 2x higher than historic avg.*). EBITDA** reached EUR838mn in 2023 (flat YoY, +45% vs. 2019), corresponding to an EBITDA margin of 31.4% - one of the best performances in the world!
  • Net profit is at EUR790mn for 2023 (+83% YoY, +273% vs 2019). EUR420mn deferred tax income was recorded in 12/2023 P&L statement, stemming from the application of inflation accounting at the statutory accounts.

Outlook

  • 10%-12%growth planned in total ASK for 2024.
  • Market is expected to operate on a balanced demand-capacity supply in 2024, hinting at a flattish trend for yields. On the ancillary/pax front, our budget foresees a 'mid-to-high single digit growth' compared to 2023.
  • Cost outlook remains to be challenging, particularly due to wage inflation. Under the current circumstances, CASK non- fuel is expected to increase by 'mid-to-highsingle digit' in 2024 over the 2023 level.
  • We are confident that we will once again rank among the 'top EBITDA margin generators in the world' in 2024.
    • Historic average for 2014-22. COVID period (2020 & 2021) excluded from the calculation
    • EBITDA: Core EBIT+Depreciation expenses+55% of short term lease expenses (i.e. EUR14.6mn for 2023)

  • Given that our functional currency is EUR, inflation accounting primarily impacts our financials through adjustments to deferred tax accounts.
  • Deferred tax is computed based on temporary timing differences between statutory accounts and those reported under TFRS. Inflation accounting lead to a substantial increase in the net book value of fixed assets in statutory books, while the net book value in TFRS financials remains unaffected. Consequently, we have recognized a substantial deferred tax asset and a corresponding tax benefit.
