PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Group Performance
Last year's results are disappointing. Group profits before tax for
the year were £5 million; at an operating level profits were £84
million.
Operating results were adversely affected by excess industry capacity,
particularly on the North Atlantic and from the growth of low-cost
carriers in Europe. This led to high levels of price discounting in
the industry. In line with our fleet and network strategy, we partly
offset the impact of discounting by increasing our mix of premium
passengers and improving the mix of fare types within cabins. In the
fourth quarter, BA's yields were up on a year ago for the second
successive quarter.
Cost efficiencies have continued despite higher spending on products,
including the new 'flying-bed' in Club World. The Business Efficiency
Programme (BEP) delivered improvements worth £1.1 billion over the last
3 years - - well over target thanks to additional profit improvement
actions in the year just ended. Mainline capacity was only slightly up
on a year ago, in line with current strategy.
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, pre tax losses were £175
million - £90 million worse than a year ago.
On 1st May, 2000, Rod Eddington became Chief Executive following the
resignation of Bob Ayling. His immediate task is to motivate all
employees to deliver high and sustained levels of customer service,
including the programme of new product launches which will cover all
cabins and set new standards on the ground and in the air.
Turnover
For the twelve month period, Group turnover -- at £8,940 million -- was
up half a point on a flying programme 2.9% larger in available tonne
kilometres (ATKs).
Turnover for the three months was up 3.2% -- at £2,107 million -- on a
flying programme just 2% bigger. Mainline yields (pence per revenue
passenger kilometre - RPK) were up 3.3%, primarily due to a higher
proportion of premium traffic. Premium traffic grew 8.4%; non premium
traffic fell 3.8%. Mainline passenger seat factor was down 1.5 points
at 65.8%.
In the three month period, Cargo revenue increased by 5.5% compared
with last year, on tonnage up 8.7%.
Unit Costs
For the twelve month period, unit costs (pence per ATK) were 1.8%
higher than a year ago, inflated by higher fuel prices, increased
restructuring costs (a provision for £88 million) and product
improvements. The overall increase occurred despite substantial
improvements in cost efficiency.
Unit costs for the three months were 3.9% higher than the same quarter
last year. Excluding increases in fuel prices and product related
costs, they would have been unchanged year on year.
Non Operating Items
Profits on disposals of fixed assets and investments were £249 million
in the year. This included £149 million from the disposal of our
remaining shares in Galileo International Inc. and £58 million from the
further disposal of part of our share holding in Equant.
Net interest expense for the year was £408 million. This was up on
last year primarily because of book charges of £126 million relating to
the revaluation of yen debts used to fund aircraft acquisitions. The
revaluation results from the strengthening of the yen by 15% over the
year. This charge does not represent cash lost to the business, but is
required by standard accounting practice. Last year the revaluation of
yen debts resulted in a book charge of £94 million.
Earnings Per Share
For the twelve month period, losses attributable to shareholders were
£21 million, equivalent to losses of 2 pence per share, compared with
earnings of 19.5 pence last year. The loss attributable to shareholders
for the three months was equivalent to 15.7 pence per share, compared
with last year's losses of 7.1 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, unchanged from
last year.
The final dividend will be paid on July 31, 2000 to shareholders
registered on June 5, 2000. The ex-dividend date will be May 30, 2000.
Net Debt / Total Capital Ratio
Borrowings, net of cash and short term loans and deposits, amounted to
£5,916 million at March 31, 2000 -- an increase of £390 million since
March 31 1999 -- due primarily to the acquisition of aircraft.
The net debt/total capital ratio now stands at 64%.
Aircraft Fleet
The Group fleet increased during the year from 335 to 366 aircraft.
In the longhaul fleet the continuation of the revised fleet strategy
saw the addition of 4 Boeing 747-400 and 11 Boeing 777 (including four
of the new Rolls-Royce powered extended range variants). Disposals
during the year consisted of the 9 remaining Boeing 747-100 and 1
Boeing 747-200.
The mainline shorthaul fleet changed with the delivery of 6 Airbus
A319, 2 Boeing 757 and 2 Embraer RJ145 operated by Brymon. Disposals
comprised 8 Boeing 737-200 and 1 Boeing 767-300; 1 Boeing 737-300
returned to DBA.
Within the subsidiaries, the acquisition of CityFlyer Express brought 8
Avro RJ100, 7 ATR 72 and 5 ATR 42 into the Group. 'go' built up its
fleet by 5 Boeing 737-300 on operating leases. Deutsche BA acquired 1
Boeing 737-300 returned from mainline and Air Liberte obtained 1
additional MD82 and disposed of 1 ATR 42.
Subsidiaries and Associates
Acquisitions during the year included the purchase of CityFlyer Express
based at Gatwick; an 18.3% stake in Comair, our franchise partner in
Southern Africa; and a 9% holding in Iberia.
Since year end, Air Liberte has been sold to Taitbout Antibes.
Alliance Development
The oneworld alliance continued to grow with the addition of Finnair
and Iberia in September 1999; Aer Lingus and LAN Chile will join in
June 2000. Canadian Airlines, a founder member of oneworld, has been
purchased by Air Canada and will consequently leave the alliance in
June 2000.
On a bi-lateral basis, we have finalised our investment in Iberia and
co-operation, including behind and beyond codeshares, has already
started. In addition, we have implemented bi-lateral agreements during
the year with JAL, Aer Lingus, LAN Chile and Crossair. A request for
codeshare with American Airlines has been filed and is awaiting
approval.
Outlook
Economic conditions have improved generally and the outlook for summer
trading is better than last year. Competition and the strength of
sterling against the euro will continue to exert pressure on yields.
The implementation of the fleet and network strategy supported by the
introduction of new products is expected to contribute to yield and
margin improvements in 2000/01. Low capacity growth will support seat
factors.
We continue to focus on unit costs. Fuel remains above $250 per tonne
and despite successful hedging our fuel bill will be considerably
higher next year. Future cost efficiencies will be delivered through e-
commerce and e-procurement innovations, improved aircraft utilisation,
reductions in selling and distribution costs and improved manpower
productivity. These gains will partially offset the costs associated
with new aircraft and new products.
The Annual General Meeting will be held at the Barbican Centre in
London at 1100 hours on July 11, 2000. The full Report and Accounts
and Summary Financial Statement will be distributed as appropriate to
shareholders in the week beginning June 12, 2000; from then copies will
be available to members of the public at the Company's registered
office.

on overseas investments.
8 DIVIDENDS PAID AND PROPOSED
The Board recommends a final dividend of 12.8p per share, giving a
total dividend for the year of 17.9p, unchanged from last year.
The amount charged to the profit and loss account includes £1
million in relation to 1998-99 final dividends paid to Convertible
Capital Bond holders(1997-98: £1 million), who converted their
bonds in June 1999, in accordance with the terms of the bonds.
9 EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated on a weighted average of
1,074,823,000 ordinary shares (March 1999: 1,054,543,000)as
adjusted for shares held for the purposes of employee share
ownership plans including the Long Term Incentive Plan. Diluted
earnings per share are calculated on a weighted average of
1,124,287,000 ordinary shares (March 1999: 1,120,800,000) after
allowing for the conversion rights attaching to the Convertible
Capital Bonds and for adjustments to income to eliminate interest
payable on the Convertible Capital Bonds.
The number of shares in issue at March 31, 2000 was 1,081,515,000
(March 31, 1999: 1,073,167,000)ordinary shares of 25 pence each.

Under UK GAAP, the profit relating to the sale of frequent flyer
airmiles to companies participating in the Airmiles programme is
recognised at the time of sale. From December 1999 under US GAAP,
revenue relating to the sale of airmiles is deferred until redemption.
This has resulted in a one-off cumulative adjustment of £136m in the
current period.
