It's a loss unless some loses like hedging are manipulated in the books to reflect a marginal profit......results not positive at all!!!!!....I hear the Commercial director was sacked jana!!!!

GG,

The results should be out some time today wacha tungoje.....despite the overall hit on the aviation industry,things are not working well for our national carrier........how can you employ a commecrial director and barely after a year you sack him........that is one department that requires continuity as far as the business growth of KQ is concerned!!!!

The operating profit was barely below last year but the huge hit was from the unrealized fuel hedging loss that used to be calculated/accounted for in the balance sheet under hedge reserves.

VVS,

Remember the 1st half results had a PAT of about Kshs. 0.74B,the management promised better results for the 2nd half and no new hedges were entered into during the 2nd half........what exactly happenned coz the expected results would be PAT of more that Kshs. 1.5B!!!!

Note: 1st half operating profit was Kshs. 1.6B compared to Kshs. 3.4B for the previous year!!!

Talking of the hedges,are we saying that if the price of crude oil had remained high and the hedges were financially ok then kq were going to make an automatic loss!!!!
