The Board of Directors of Air France-KLM, chaired by Alexandre de Juniac, met on 23 July 2015 to approve the accounts for the First Half of the Financial Year 2015.

Key Data

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been revised as of 1^st January 2015 in order to improve their clarity. The changes are:

• In view of its rapid development, Transavia is now presented as a separate business segment. The passenger business segment is thus renamed from “passenger” to “passenger network”.
• Capitalized production costs are no longer deducted from individual cost lines in the profit and loss statement, but are instead fully allocated to the “other income and expenses” line. The impact per quarter of this restatement is provided in the appendix.
• Foreign currency effects on provisions are no longer recorded in “amortization, depreciation and provisions” but in “other financial income and expenses”. The closing exchange rate is used to convert provisions at the closing date. Previously, the Group used the average rate of the US dollar to convert maintenance provisions. The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014 have been restated for reason of comparison. The impact of this restatement is provided in the appendix.

PASSENGER BUSINESS

In the Second Quarter 2014, passenger revenues amounted to 5,112 million euros, down 0.2%, but up 2.4% like-for-like. The operating result of the passenger business stood at 255 million euros, versus 96 million euros in Q2 2013, an improvement of 159 million euros (178 million euros on a constant currency basis).

The Group maintained its strict capacity discipline, increasing total passenger capacity by only 1.0%. Passenger traffic rose by 2.8%, leading to a 1.5 point improvement in load factor to 84.8%. Unit revenue per Available Seat Kilometer (RASK) fell by 1.1% but increased by 1.3% on a constant currency basis. Thanks to Transform 2015, and in spite of the low capacity growth, the passenger activity delivered a strong cost performance, with Cost per Available Seat Kilometer (CASK) down by 2.3% like-for-like.

Long-haul traffic rose 3.1% for a 1.5% rise in capacity, leading to a 1.4 point increase in load factor to 86.0%. Long-haul RASK was up 1.6% like-for-like.

As planned within the framework of Transform 2015, point-to-point (not linked to the Paris and Amsterdam hubs) short and medium-haul capacity was significantly adjusted (down 7.1%), leading short and medium-haul capacity to fall by 0.7%. Traffic rose by 1.6%, resulting in a 1.8 point improvement in load factor to 80.4%. Short and medium-haul RASK improved by 1.7% like-for-like.

All regions improved their profitability with the exception of Latin America, impacted by the situation in Venezuela.

In the First Half 2014, passenger revenues amounted to 9,477 million euros, down 1.0%, but up 1.4% like-for-like. The operating result of the passenger business stood at -123 million euros, versus -351 million euros in the First Half 2013, an improvement of 228 million euros (268 million euros like-for-like).

Total passenger traffic rose by 2.5% while capacity rose by 1.2% leading to a 1.0 point improvement in load factor to 83.8%. Unit revenue per Available Seat Kilometer (RASK) fell by 1.8% but increased by 0.5% like-for-like. Unit costs (CASK) were reduced by 4.2% and by 2.4% like-for-like.

CARGO BUSINESS

Second Quarter 2014 cargo revenues amounted to 669 million euros, down 5.1% and by 1.9% on a constant currency basis. Faced with a slower than expected recovery, the group continued to reduce full-freighter capacity (down 8.6%). In consequence, total capacity decreased by 2.0%. Traffic decreased by 1.6%, leading to a 0.3 point increase in load factor to 63.2%. Unit revenue per Available Ton Kilometer (RATK) increased by 1.1% on a constant currency basis (-2.1% on a reported basis).

The operating result improved slightly to -45 million euro, up 5 million euros.

The recovery in demand being slower than expected, the group has initiated a strategic review of its full-freighter business, with different scenarios under consideration. Having already decided in October 2013 to reduce its full-freighter fleet to 2 aircraft in Paris and 8 aircraft in Amsterdam by 2015, the group is now looking to further reduce its Amsterdam-based full-freighter exposure either through a partnership with a third party or through internal restructuring. In consequence, the group has recorded an impairment of 106 million euros in its Second Quarter 2014 accounts.

First Half 2014 cargo revenues amounted to 1,344 million euros, down 4.3% and by 1.6% on a constant currency basis. Traffic was stable for a -1.5% decline in capacity, leading to a 1.0 point increase in load factor to 64.0%. Unit revenue per Available Ton Kilometer (RATK) was stable on a constant currency basis (down 2.7% on a reported basis).

On a constant currency basis, cargo unit cost was down 1.7% in the First Half (down 3.9% on a reported basis). The operating result improved by 21 million euros to -79 million euros.

MAINTENANCE

Second Quarter 2014 third party maintenance revenues amounted to 286 million euros, down 10.3% and by 7.2% on a constant currency basis. Q2 2013 revenues had been boosted by high volumes from the engine contract with General Electric. The operating result stood at 30 million euros, down 7 million euros year-on-year.

First Half 2014 third party maintenance revenues amounted to 576 million euros, down 7.2% and by 3.4% on a constant currency basis. The operating result decreased by 5 million euros to 52 million euros. At constant currency, the operating result improved by 4 million euros in the First Half. The operating margin was stable (-0.3 point) at 3.2%.

In the First Half 2014, the group recorded a 16% increase in its order book to 5.1 billion euros, including a major contract with Air China covering the maintenance of GE90 engines. In addition, the group acquired Barfield, a US component support business.

OTHER BUSINESS: TRANSAVIA

In the Second Quarter of 2014, Transavia capacity was up 4.8%, reflecting the accelerated development of Transavia France (up 10%) and the repositioning of Transavia Netherlands (up 3% including a 6% reduction in charter capacity). Traffic rose 6.0%, leading to a record high load factor of 90.7% (up 0.9 point). Unit revenue was down 1.7%. Transavia’s total revenue stood at 296 million euros, up 5.0%. The operating result was -6 million euros, down 3 million euros year-on-year.

In the First Half of 2014, Transavia traffic increased by 6.9% for capacity up 5.8%, leading to a 0.9 point increase in load factor to 89.2%. Unit revenue was down 2.6%. Total revenue stood at 435 million euros, up 4.5%, while the unit cost per ASK decreased by 0.8%, but increased by 0.5% on a constant currency basis. The operating result decreased by 10 million euros to -64 million euros, mainly due to the ramp up of Transavia France.

OTHER BUSINESS: CATERING

Second Quarter 2014 third party catering revenues amounted to 77 million euros, down 25.2%. At constant scope (excluding the impact of the sale of Air Chef that occurred in Q2 2013), third party revenues increased by 6.9%, reflecting new contracts and international development, while the operating result improved by 3 million euros.

First Half 2014 third party catering revenues amounted to 150 million euros, up 8.7% at constant scope. The operating result increased by 5 million euros at constant scope.

FINANCIAL SITUATION

In the First Half of 2014, the further improvement in EBITDA translated into an 232 million euro increase in cash flow before change in WCR and the cash out related to Voluntary Departure Plans.

The group disbursed 144 million euros for Voluntary Departure Plans representing 90% of the cash out expected in the Financial Year. Net investments before sale & lease-back transactions stood at 808 million euros.

Operating free cash flow amounted to 95 million euros, versus 566 million euros a year earlier. In the First Half 2013, operating free cash flow had benefited from the full effects of the reduction in investments and the structural improvements in WCR within the framework of Transform 2015.

Net debt amounted to 5.41 billion euros at 30^st June 2014, versus 5.35 billion euros at 31^st December 2013. At 2.6x, the net debt / EBITDA ratio continued to fall.

OUTLOOK

Delivery on the Transform 2015 plan is fully on track. However, as indicated at the beginning of the month, the operating environment remains tough, with industry overcapacity on certain long-haul routes, notably North America and Asia, impacting yields. This trend comes on top of the persistently weak cargo demand and the challenging situation in Venezuela already identified in the First Quarter.

Under these conditions, as indicated at the beginning of the month, 2014 EBITDA is expected to be between 2.2 and 2.3 billion euros. Strong capital discipline will enable the group to remain on track in terms of debt reduction and achieve its objective of 4.5 billion euros in net debt in 2015.

• 5.2% rise in revenues to 12.1 billion euros
• Fuel bill up 469 million euros
• Reduction in net debt close to 300 million euros

TRANSFORM 2015 PLAN

• Roll out in line with initial calendar
• First significant effects in the Second Half
