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.

[quote=VituVingiSana]While KQ expects to announce ANOTHER loss, RyanAir is making money in spades http://www.newstalk.com/...ts-ready-for-a-fare-war[/quote] Unhedged fuel prices are a plus as the oil bear continues. How much longer before KQ hedges expire?

Things are intricate here. The NAV/share is NEGATIVE as of 31 Mar 2015. Another loss will push the NAV/share further into NEGATIVE territory. Greedy when others are fearful.

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. Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

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. ,Behold, a sower went forth to sow;....
