CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
Group Performance
Group profit before tax for the year was £150 million - - up from £5 million
last year. Operating profit more than quadrupled to £380 million, despite a
fuel bill almost £300 million higher.
The improvement in operating profit reflected benefits from the new aircraft
fleet and network strategy, successful new products (especially the Club World
flat bed) and aggressive cost efficiency actions. Commitment to customer
service was strengthened; employee morale improved.
The fleet strategy is based on smaller aircraft, flying higher frequencies and
carrying a higher mix of premium traffic. Capacity reductions are targeted on
unprofitable transfer and discount business.
Mainline passenger yields increased 7.7% - - the biggest year-over-year
improvement since privatisation. Unit costs increased 3.1%; excluding the
impact of higher fuel prices, they fell marginally. Despite capacity
reductions, productivity improved by 1.8%. Operating margin was 4.1% - - up
from 0.9% last year.
For the three months ended March 31, 2001, pre tax losses were £65 million,
compared with a loss of £175 million last year. Operating loss for the quarter
more than halved to £61 million.
Turnover
For the twelve month period, Group turnover - - at £9,278 million - - was up
3.8% on a flying programme 5.8% smaller in available seat kilometres (ASK).
Group turnover for the quarter was up 0.7% - - at £2,121 million - - on flying
capacity 10.1% lower in ASK. Mainline passenger yields were up 11.5% per RPK
and 13.9% per ASK; seat factor was up 1.5 points at 67.3%.
Three month Cargo sales were almost unchanged from a year ago.
Unit Costs
For the twelve month period, unit costs (pence per ATK) were 3.1% higher than
a year ago. But for a 37% increase in fuel price (net of hedging), unit costs
would have fallen by 0.3%. This reflected cost efficiency actions, including
lower cost of sales, e-procurement initiatives and productivity and process
improvements. Group manpower fell during the course of the year from 61,000 to
58,000.
Unit costs for the three months were 4.2% higher than the same quarter last
year. Excluding the impact of higher fuel prices and adverse exchange rate
changes, they would have fallen 2.3%, despite the upward pressure caused by
the reduction in capacity.
Non Operating Items
Net interest expense for the year was £226 million. This included a book
credit for the revaluation of yen debts (used to fund aircraft acquisitions)
of £73 million, compared to last year's charge of £126 million. The
revaluation - - required by accounting standards - - results from the
weakening of the yen against sterling.
Losses on disposals of fixed assets and investments for the year were £69
million, reflecting primarily the disposal of Air Liberte in May 2000 and
product changeover costs. Our share of Iberia's profits from the sale of its
investment in Amadeus was a partial offset. Last year profits of £249 million
arose, primarily from the disposals of our investment in Galileo International
and part of our investment in Equant.
Earnings Per Share
For the twelve month period, profit attributable to shareholders was £114
million, equivalent to earnings of 10.6 pence per share, compared with a loss
of 2 pence per share last year. The loss attributable to shareholders for the
three months was equivalent to 7.2 pence per share, compared with last year's
loss of 15.7 pence.
Dividends
Shareholders will be asked to approve a final dividend of 12.8 pence per
share, giving a total for the year of 17.9 pence - - the same as last year.
The final dividend will be paid on July 31, 2001 to shareholders registered on
June 1, 2001. The ex-dividend date will be May 30, 2001.
Net Debt / Total Capital Ratio
Borrowings, net of cash and short term loans and deposits, were £6,223 million
at March 31 - - up £307 million since the start of the year, due primarily to
further investment in new aircraft and products. The net debt/total capital
ratio increased by 0.6 points to 64.5%.
Shareholders' funds increased primarily due to the Air Liberte disposal.
Aircraft Fleet
The Group fleet decreased by 28 during the year from 366 to 338 aircraft.
The mainline fleet increased by 4 aircraft during the year reflecting
continued implementation of the revised strategy. Additions included 7 Boeing
777, 15 Airbus A319, 10 Boeing 737-500 and 1 Boeing 737-300 together with 5
Embraer RJ145 operated by Brymon. Aircraft leaving the fleet were 2 Boeing
747-200, 6 Boeing 767-300, 8 Boeing 757-200, and 13 Boeing 737-200 as well as
2 de Havilland Canada DHC-7 and 2 de Havilland Canada DHC-8 operated by
Brymon. A further Boeing 747-400 was sub-leased to Qantas.
In the subsidiaries' fleet, seven Avro RJ 100 were added for CityFlyer
Express; disposals included 1 Boeing 737-300 from DBA, 1 ATR 72 and 5 ATR 42
operated by CityFlyer Express, and 32 Air Liberte aircraft.
Concorde services remain suspended following the Air France accident in July.
Modifications to the fuel tanks are being made and we remain confident that
the Civil Aviation Authority in the UK will re-issue the certificate of
airworthiness. While the modifications are made, a £14 million package of
product improvements, including new cabin interior and seats, are being
installed. Services are expected to resume later this year.
Strategic Developments
Following a review of Gatwick operations in December, we announced a change
from previous attempts to build Gatwick as a transfer hub. Key elements of the
new Gatwick plan, which will be implemented over two years, include reducing
longhaul destinations and refocusing shorthaul on serving local point-to-point
business. The operations and management of our two subsidiaries (CityFlyer and
BA's European Operations at Gatwick) will be fully consolidated at the North
Terminal by early 2002.
Subsidiaries and Associates
During the year we sold Air Liberte and our investment in Hogg Robinson. We
invested in On Line Travel Portal and announced that from May 2001 our UK
outbound holiday business will merge with Thomas Cook.
We also announced our intention to sell our no-frills airline go. We expect to
conclude the sale shortly and achieve a substantial profit on our £25 million
investment.
In May 2001 we purchased British Regional Air Lines Group plc (BRAL); a
further step in British Airways' plans to coordinate better its shorthaul
businesses and reduce fragmentation among subsidiaries and franchise partners.
The British Airways London Eye is now a major tourist attraction, with over 3
million visitors in its first full year of operation.
Alliance Development
Top level discussions continue with American Airlines on how to cooperate
further, both on a one-to-one basis and as part of oneworld. We continue to
strengthen links with other partners too; during the year code-share
agreements were extended with Qantas, Aer Lingus and Iberia.
Growth, whether organic or by means of alliances, will concentrate on
profitable segments where customer service is at a premium.
Outlook
Implementation of the fleet and network strategy is progressing on track;
elimination of unprofitable capacity continues. As capacity reductions are
implemented over the next two years, cost control will be a prime focus. New
technology offers opportunities for operating efficiencies and improved
customer service.
Our new Club World cabin (with flat bed) continues to increase yields and win
market share from competitors as it rolls out across the network. Development
of further product upgrades continue, which, like the new World Traveller Plus
cabin, will give our employees new opportunities to demonstrate their
outstanding customer service skills.
Our continued focus on improving the fundamentals of the business will help us
ride out short term issues relating to slower world economic growth and the UK
foot and mouth epidemic.
The Annual General Meeting will be held at Le Meridien Grosvenor House, Park
Lane, London at 1100 hours on July 17, 2001. The full Report and Accounts and
Summary Financial Statement will be distributed as appropriate to shareholders
in the week beginning June 11, 2001; from then copies will be available to
members of the public at the Company's registered office.
