CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Group performance
Group loss before tax for the year was £200 million against £150 million profit
in the previous year. No interim dividend was paid and the Board has recommended
that no final dividend be paid.
The loss reflects the significant reduction in passenger and cargo revenue due
to the effects of September 11th, weakening global economies and the impact of
Foot and Mouth in the UK. Cost efficiency actions continued throughout the year
with reductions in manpower and most other costs. Capacity was reduced on
unprofitable routes, both tactically and through the fleet and network strategy.
Airline operations passenger yield (pence/RPK) for the full year improved by
4.7% compared with last year despite deterioration during the second half. The
operating margin was a deficit of 1.3%, 5.4 points worse than last year.
The fourth quarter results show that the actions we announced after September
11th are having a significant impact on costs. Loss before tax for the quarter
was £85 million, £20 million worse than last year. Excluding exceptional
restructuring costs, operating profit for the quarter was £35 million, £96
million better than last year, unit costs per ATK improved by 2.8% and total
operating costs were down by 12.1%.
The ongoing focus on cash conservation resulted in a closing cash balance of
£1,219 million; the largest year-end balance since privatisation. Cash burn in
the fourth quarter was zero.
Turnover
For the twelve months, group turnover - - at £8,340 million - - was down 10.1%
on a flying programme 9.3% smaller in ATKs. Group turnover for the quarter was
down 7.9% - - at £1,953 million - - on capacity 9.6% lower.
Airline operations passenger yields for the quarter were down 1.5 % per RPK;
seat factor was up 5.1 points at 72.1%, on capacity 12.6% lower in ASKs.
Cargo volumes for the quarter (CTKs) were down 4.8% compared with last year,
with yields down 5.2%.
Unit costs
For the twelve month period, unit costs before exceptional restructuring (pence/
ATK) increased by 4.1%, on capacity reduction, in ATKs, of 9.3%.
Unit costs for the fourth quarter, excluding exceptional restructuring, were
down 2.8% on the same quarter last year. This reflects the total cost reduction
of 12.1%, on capacity 9.6% lower in ATKs.
Airline operations manpower fell during the course of the year by 2.8% to
57,227. Productivity, measured in ATKs per MPE, was down by 6.7%.
Non-operating items
Net interest expense for the year was £278 million. This included a book credit
for the revaluation of yen debts (used to fund aircraft acquisitions) of £49
million, compared to a credit the previous year of £73 million. The revaluation
-- a non cash item required by standard accounting practice -- results from the
weakening of the yen against sterling.
Profits on disposals of fixed assets and investments for the year were £145
million, reflecting primarily the disposal of our investment in Go Fly Ltd in
June 2001. We also sold our investment in France Telecom (formerly shares held
in Equant). This represents an improvement of £214 million compared with 2000/
01.
Other income includes £22 million received from the UK Government as
compensation, primarily for the closure of US airspace immediately following
September 11th.
Earnings per share
For the twelve month period, losses attributable to shareholders were £142
million, equivalent to a loss of 13.2 pence per share, compared with equivalent
earnings of 6.2 pence per share last year. The loss attributable to shareholders
for the fourth quarter was equivalent to 4.0 pence per share, compared with last
year's loss of 5.3 pence per share.
Net Debt / Total Capital ratio
Borrowings, net of cash and short-term loans and deposits, amounted to £6,294
million at the year end, an increase of £71 million from last year.
The year-end net debt/total capital ratio was 66%, a 1.5 point increase over
last year but 0.5 points better than December 2001.
Cash flow
Net cash inflow from operating activities totalled £866 million, down £385
million from last year. However, the net cashflow before management of liquid
resources and financing was £514 million, an improvement of £182 million on last
year, due to a reduction in capital expenditure and an increase in the sale of
fixed assets and investments more than offsetting the reduction in operating
cash flow.
Aircraft fleet changes
The number of Group aircraft in service at March 31, 2002 was 360, an increase
of 22 on the prior year. The increase primarily reflects the acquisition of
British Regional Air Lines with 12 Jetstream 41, 13 British Aerospace ATP, 21
Embraer RJ145 and 5 British Aerospace 146 in service at year end. Conversely,
the sale of go reduced Boeing 737-300 aircraft by 13. Other changes, in line
with the ongoing fleet strategy, included new deliveries of 5 Boeing 777, 12
Airbus A319, 3 Airbus A320, 2 Boeing 737-300, 1 Avro RJ100 and 1 Embraer RJ145.
Disposals included 8 Boeing 747-200, 18 Boeing 757-200, 2 Boeing 737-300, 3
Boeing 737-400, 1 ATR72 and 1 DHC-8. In addition, 5 Boeing 747-200 and 4 Boeing
757-200 are stood down awaiting disposal and 2 Boeing 737-300 went into service
having previously been undergoing pre-service preparation at March 31, 2001.
Strategic Developments
In February, we announced the result of the study known as 'Future Size and
Shape'. Unanimously approved by the Board, it re-defines the business of British
Airways and the way in which the company will deliver necessary economic and
competitive reform. This includes further actions to eliminate unprofitable
segments of our business through capacity reduction, elimination of unnecessary
complexity, and reduction in both overhead and front line manpower levels
without reducing customer service standards. In addition, we are changing the
shorthaul pricing proposition to compete more effectively with the no-frills
carriers. We are also rationalising our property portfolio and driving
simplification and cost reduction through Information Technology.
Subsidiaries and Associates
In April 2001, in partnership with Thomas Cook Ltd, we acquired a 50% holding in
a newly formed company, Accoladia Ltd, a travel company into which the outbound
business of BA Holidays was transferred.
Qantas issued new shares on two occasions during the year, by way of an
institutional placement and shareholder placing respectively. British Airways
did not take up its allocation, which resulted in the dilution of the group's
shareholding from 25% to 21.4%.
On May 8, 2002, we announced the signing of a binding deal, which grants easyJet
the option to buy 100% of Deutsche BA, by March 31, 2003.
Alliance Development
In January 2002, we advised that the US Department of Transportation's
conditions for an anti-trust immune deal with American Airlines were too high to
allow us to proceed. We remain committed to our alliance relationship with
American Airlines and we are still working together to look for alternative
commercial opportunities, albeit not requiring anti-trust immunity, in a number
of areas. Our co-operation within the oneworld framework continues to develop
alongside the bilateral discussions.
We continue to strengthen links with other oneworld partners and during the year
code-share agreements were extended with Aer Lingus, Cathay Pacific and Iberia.
Outlook
Reform and re-structuring against a substantially changed competitive background
are well under way. The concentration is on providing customers with the
services they want at prices which are of value and at costs which make a
satisfactory return for shareholders.
The current year is one of transition and still subject to global economic and
political uncertainty. The market is expected to remain soft; but further
capacity cuts should help to underpin yields and to support increases in seat
factors. In a weak revenue environment, costs remain the focus.

7 TAX
During the year the company implemented FRS 19 'Deferred Tax', which
requires full provision for deferred tax. Under the options allowed the company
chose not to discount the resulting provision. Within the tax credit for the
twelve months ended March 31, 2002 is a net credit of £71 million which arises
as a result of implementing this standard, including a charge of £3 million
relating to the sale of go and France Telecom. The taxation credit relating to
the exceptional operating charge is £24 million. In addition, the comparatives
have been restated, resulting in an increase to the tax charge of £47 million
for the twelve months ended March 31, 2001. The deferred tax provision is
included on balance sheet and amounts to £1,031 million at March 31, 2002 (March
31, 2001: £1,094 million). None of the deferred tax is expected to become
payable in the foreseeable future.
8 EARNINGS/(LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings/(loss) per share for the quarter ended March 31, 2002 are
calculated on a weighted average of 1,076,090,000 ordinary shares (March 2001:
1,075,831,000) and for the twelve months ended March 31, 2002, on a weighted
average of 1,076,042,000 ordinary shares (March 2001: 1,075,496,000) as adjusted
for shares held for the purposes of employee share ownership plans including the
Long Term Incentive Plan. Diluted earnings/(loss) per share for the quarter
ended March 31, 2002 are calculated on a weighted average of 1,076,090,000
ordinary shares (March 2001: 1,086,510,000) and for the twelve months ended
March 31, 2002 on a weighted average of 1,077,966,000 ordinary shares (March
2001: 1,085,163,000).
The number of shares in issue at March 31, 2002 was 1,082,757,000 (March
31, 2001: 1,082,552,000) ordinary shares of 25 pence each.
