In plain(wanjiku) language, can the fundies tell wazuans how KQ makes these phenomenon losses.

1. Is it that people are not flying?
2. Is it that they have excess employees who are paid lots of money?
3. Is it that Jet A-1 is very expensive?
4. Is it they are paying more parking fess at the destinations they land/operate?
5. Is it the interest charged on previous loans?

What is the issue with KQ in leihman language?


Their operating costs are higher than revenue.

AUDITORS' REPORT
The company's auditors, KPMG have issued an unqualified audit opinion with an emphasis of matter drawing attention to the loss of Kshs 26 billion for the year (2015- Ksh 26 billion) and the fact that the company's total liabilities exceeded its total assets as at 31 March 2016. This is similar to the audit opinion issued for 2015 financial statements.

KQ investors misled by these two common psychological traps (Hello @Obiero)

Source: Investopedia

Quote:


DEFINITION of 'Superiority Trap'

A psychological or behavioral trap that leads people to believe that they have superior skill in some areas. The superiority trap can be a dangerous delusion in the stock market, since investors who believe their investment prowess is superior to that of others may end up losing a lot of money. One way of avoiding this trap is through retaining a sense of humility, rather than hubris. An oft-cited example of the superiority trap is the fact that the overwhelming majority of people think they are above-average drivers, which is a contradiction in itself.

DEFINITION of 'Sunk Cost Trap'

The tendency of people to irrationally follow through on an activity that is not meeting their expectations because of the time and/or money they have already spent on it. The sunk cost trap explains why people finish movies they aren’t enjoying, finish meals that taste bad, hold on to investments that are underperforming and keep clothes in their closet that they’ve never worn. The sunk cost trap is also called the Concorde fallacy after the failed supersonic Concorde jet program that funding governments insisted on completing despite the jet’s poor outlook.

Individuals, businesses and governments fall into the sunk cost trap when they base their decisions on past behavior and a desire to not waste the time or money they have already spent, instead of cutting their losses and making the decision that would give them the best outcome going forward. People are reluctant to admit, even to themselves, that they have wasted resources on a past decision. Changing directions is viewed, perhaps only subconsciously, as admitting failure. As a result, people tend to stay the course or even invest additional resources in a bad decision in a futile attempt to make their initial decision seem worthwhile.

If you look on the bright side, there are definitely numerous teachable lessons from KQ and @obiero;
-never fall in love with a stock.
-hope is not an investing/trading strategy.
-never catch a falling knife.
-fool me once(earlier losses)shame on you,fool me twice(last year's loss)shame on me, fool me thrice(this year's loss).....

My sentiments exactly you beat me in voicing them.. Sometimes the hardest thing to accept is that one made a mistake. This one quality differentiates an investor from a gambler.

Brother @obiero is a staunch christian and going by church doctrines I don't think he participates in anything resembling SportPesa, Mcheza except gambling in KQ.

Hedged fuel contracts turned positive Think
Hedged exchange losses increase 38%

How can the hedged fuel contracts be positive?

Anyone with the breakdown of this other costs? That's a huge spike!

Meanwhile the level to watch is 3.70. Price is slipping towards the 4.00 handle. Somehow the sellers are not spooked by this results based on the traded volume. Has the counter run out of sellers?

Very puzzling on the hedged fuel contracts. They still booked a loss on the derivatives albeit a decreasing one. Unless they took out new contracts(for example a collar)on additional fuel needs to cancel the losses on the old fixed hedges it doesn't make sense since outright canceling the old contracts and seeking new ones comes with heavy penalties which would have shown up here.

Looking at the consolidated income statement line by line reveals a very sad affair at KQ. There is still a lot of work to be done if this stock is to get back to investment grade. Save for the approximately 9b saving in direct costs(Mckinsey's trick)the rest of the deductible line items are either flat/flattish or increasing. Finance costs also spiked by some considerable margin(this one if not well managed will sink this company beyond redemption). They have probably exhausted their tax credits at this point too. On the other costs item, the only thing that comes to mind is the consultancy costs that is; Mckinsey,Seabury,PJT and crew...

In my opinion, this company will not be making a PAT for the next two financial years at the very minimum. More taxpayers money will be sunk into it year on year without a clear strategy of a turn-around.




Finance costs


That's a huge gamble on their huge debt being heavily denominated in USD.

Current affairs in the global market indicates being stuck with USD debt is a dangerous game as it readies to gain more strength due to brexit fallout! Plenty of forex losses next year will likely be reported again.


My word! 98%? OMG. Just when you think you've seen the worst these KQ chaps pull out the joker card. If there are any strategic investors lined up for this one...good luck to them.
The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many people as possible.
