Qantas said its cost-cutting program [Has KQ gone through a serious cost-cutting program? I was told corruption is king at KQ. Unconfirmed but apparently it starts from the CFO] had helped save Aus$894 million over the year and allowed it to reduce its debt [Has debt reduced at KQ or increased? New 787s, Afreximbank loans, GoK loans, pensions, etc]. Lower fuel prices [hedges will wipe out 30-50% of the benefits] also helped the bottom line with every segment making healthy profits.
No dividend was declared but the airline announced a one-off 23 cents per share capital return to shareholders, amounting to Aus$505 million.
The return to profit appeared to vindicate Joyce's strategy to cut Aus$2.0 billion in costs, cut routes, freeze growth at Asian offshoot Jetstar, and get rid of 5,000 jobs [Can KQ cut jobs? Has it cut jobs? It has cut routes but it was forced to cut many that were profitable] to help counter a price war with domestic rival Virgin Australia.

A fact does not change with volumes of info that goes into it but let me keep it straight, at kq its a tall order. Mgt recycling is so ripe, mpigs r calling shots with VATS on Capex, dmn politics N Mcksy deals, all-shababs are running live targets parades n not missing, currently upping their think tanks thanks to our creative fresh uni nerds, ebola is not global its in Africa(PRIDE OF AFRICA) and a mzungu tourist would rather see it in museum than face the monkey desease. At kq, mcksy must c how to kickstart the mgt since its full of inertia and has no idea that cloud nine is bussy recruiting its customers. Econ is taking it on the cheek profusely. Employees reinstated pap. Klm n KAA are here to stay Oh yes, I almost forgot, project mawangu pilot left the driving seat n the copilot promoted asap. Jambojet would not mind a pie of the cake. Fuel hedges are a icing on the cake, When will this kq make me the Money?d'oh!

It took a while but I finally figured what @muandiwambeu meant. I agree with the premise of investing in a worthwhile investment which brings returns. That is what @sparkly also meant when he talked of losing money. Oh and by the way, it was actually @sparkly's post not mine see post 2490 link.

@sniper I roger that.
Further to value investing n loss control, what would be the net asset value for kq if @obieros 7.xy figure materialise. Will the bear quote at a discount or bulls will take hope at a premium? Things are intricate here. d'oh!

Unhedged fuel prices are a plus as the oil bear continues. How much longer before KQ hedges expire?

The NAV/share is NEGATIVE as of 31 Mar 2015. Another loss will push the NAV/share further into NEGATIVE territory.

The hedges run upto Sep 2016 if I recall. They spread the hedges over the time-frame i.e. rolling hedges.

IMHO, KQ is going to continue losing money on its hedges in place on 31 Mar 2015.

The results which were higher than even the most buoyant market expectations follow what Ryanair calls “a very rare confluence of favourable events” including stronger sterling, poor summer weather conditions in Northern Europe and further savings on unhedged fuel prices, end quote,
Preposterous kq quote,the multibilion loss was as a very rare confluence of unfavoured favourable events,,,,, Ouch. Everything was hedged to the edge. The The date of expirely may even have been doubled.
