UNAUDITED Financial Results for the YEar ended 30 june 2021
and Interim Management Statement

Avation PLC (LSE: AVAP), the commercial passenger aircraft leasing company, announces preliminary unaudited financial results for the year ended 30 June 2021.

Key Financial Results

· Material COVID-19 impacts on financial results, revenue decreased 13% to $117.7 million;

· Cash and bank balances increased 7% to $122.5 million;

· Net Indebtedness reduced by $113.9 million (11%) to $922.6 million;

· Impairment losses of $87.4 million and expected credit losses on receivables of $25.4 million  recognised for the year, reflecting the COVID-19 disruption to the leasing industry; and

· Loss before taxation of $70.2 million.

 

COVID-19 Update

· Focus on preserving liquidity and cashflow has left the fleet, business and customers substantially intact;

· Rent deferrals totalling $25.9 million provided to airline customers;

· Loan repayment deferrals totalling $35.2 million obtained from secured lenders;

· Maturity date of Avation Capital S.A. Senior Notes ("Notes") extended to October 2026;

· Administrative expenses excluding non-cash warrants expense decreased by 9% to $10.3 million; and

· Capital expenditure and dividends remain temporarily suspended with a return to fleet growth expected in late 2022.

 

Executive Chairman, Jeff Chatfield, said:

"The year ended 30 June 2021 has been the most challenging in the Company's history. The COVID-19 pandemic persisted throughout the year disrupting airlines, aircraft leasing and aircraft valuations. These challenges have created a significant workload and I would like to thank Avation's employees for their commitment, focus and diligence during the period.

"Avation's decision to preserve liquidity and cashflow ensured survival and allowed focus to be directed to maintenance of the business, customers and leasing platform which have been preserved as the impacts of the pandemic recede and air travel returns.

"The prolonged impact of the pandemic has resulted in $87.4 million in impairments to the value of the fleet and $25.4 million for expected credit losses that dominate the financial results. An end to the pandemic appears to be in sight with the rollout of global vaccination programmes supporting a return to growth in passenger numbers. A return of air travel to pre-COVID levels may result in an increase in the value of aircraft that could reverse some of the impairments in future periods.

"The recent Chapter 11 filing for voluntary restructuring by Philippine Airlines should lead to a resolution of one of the last remaining lease defaults resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic in Avation's fleet. Avation is set to emerge from the pandemic with a smaller fleet with high levels of utilisation and a long timeframe for repayment of the Company's unsecured Notes following the extension of their maturity until October 2026.

"Avation's cash and liquidity position is expected to improve in the coming months through the expected sale of underutilised aircraft and the receipt of distributions to creditors from the restructuring administrations of Virgin Australia and Philippine Airlines. This will have the combined impact of improving operational efficiency and increasing liquidity which can then be used to continue to pay down debt and fund a return to fleet growth planned for late 2022."

At June 30, Avation's fleet comprised 44 aircraft. The weighted average age of the fleet is 4.8 years (2020: 4.1 years) and the weighted average remaining lease term is 6.4 years (2020: 6.9 years).

Fleet assets decreased 13% to $1,079.6 million (2020: $1,242.2 million). Two ATR72 aircraft were sold during the year. Two Fokker 100 aircraft were transferred to the lessee airline upon completion of finance leases. Narrowbody aircraft make up 52% of the fleet by value as at 30 June 2021.

Avation has orders for two additional ATR 72-600 aircraft and has purchase rights for a further 28 aircraft. During the year Avation rescheduled the ATR orderbook in response to the changes in demand due to the pandemic.

Airline Customers subject to Restructuring or Insolvency

Insolvency proceedings are currently ongoing in relation to two airlines, Virgin Australia and Philippine Airlines.

Virgin Australia

On 20 April 2020, Virgin Australia entered into voluntary administration. Avation had two Fokker 100 aircraft on finance lease and 11 ATR 72 aircraft on operating lease to Virgin Australia. The two Fokker 100 aircraft were transferred to the lessee at the end of their finance leases in September 2020. Of the 11 ATRs, four have been re-leased at market rates and one has been sold. In respect of the remaining six unutilised ATR aircraft, Avation is discussing the future opportunity for these aircraft with a number of interested parties. The aggregate outstanding debt on the remaining six ATR aircraft is $6.3 million as at today's date.

Avation's claim against Virgin Australia has been adjudicated by the Trustee of the Creditors Trust in the sum of AUD101.4 million. The Company believes that around 45% of its claim should take priority over unsecured claims and is preparing to commence litigation in order for its priority claims to be recognised. The Administrator has advised of an expected pay-out of 9.5-13 cents on the dollar for unsecured claims.

Philippine Airlines

On 6 September 2021, Avation announced that P hilippine Airlines ("PAL") filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code in order to complete a prearranged restructuring process. Avation and PAL have agreed terms for PAL to retain the use of a Boeing 777- 300ER aircraft on lease from Avation.

A successful restructuring will ensure that Avation will recommence collecting rent on the aircraft for the first time since early 2020. Under the restructuring, Avation will also be entitled to receive payments relating to utilisation since 1 September 2020 on a power by the hour basis along with a promissory note for a portion of rent outstanding for the period prior to 1 September 2020.

4.  Weighted average cost of total debt is the weighted average interest rate for total loans and borrowings as at 30 June 2021.

 

The weighted average cost of total debt increased to 5.4% as at 30 June 2021 (2020: 4.5%).  The weighted average cost of secured debt increased to 3.9% at 30 June 2021 (2020: 3.6%).

At the end of the year, Avation's debt to assets ratio was 73.9% (2020: 75.7%). At 30 June 2021, 90.9% of net debt was at fixed or hedged interest rates (2020: 90.7%). The proportion of unsecured debt to total debt was 29.9% (2020: 32.3%).

Bond Extension

During the year Avation completed a process to extend the maturity date of the $342.6 million outstanding Notes from May 2021 to October 2026. The Company announced the completion of this process on 26 March 2021. The Notes extension provides stability to the Company's capital structure and will assist the Company to successfully navigate the COVID-19 pandemic.

The extension of the maturity date and other revisions to the terms and conditions of the Notes ("Extension") has been accounted for as a substantial modification of the terms of a debt instrument in accordance with IFRS 9.  Under IFRS 9, if the modification to the terms of a debt instrument is substantial the existing liability is extinguished and a new liability is recognised at fair value.  The fair value of the Notes at the date of the Extension, based on the quoted open market price of the Notes of 82c/$, was $281.0 million.  Total fees and costs incurred in connection with the Extension amounted to $11.0 million which includes $3.5 million for the fair value of share warrants issued to holders of the Notes. The difference between the extinguished liability and new liability, less fees and costs incurred, has been recognised as a gain of $50.3 million in the Statement of profit or loss.

 

Market Positioning

Avation's long-term strategy is to target growth and diversification by adding new airline customers, while maintaining a low average aircraft age and long remaining lease term metrics. Avation focuses on new and relatively new commercial passenger aircraft on long-term leases. Avation is capable of owning, managing and leasing turboprop, narrowbody and twin-aisle aircraft and engines.

The Company's business model involves rigorous investment criteria that seeks to mitigate the risks associated with the aircraft leasing sector. Avation will typically sell mid-life and older aircraft and redeploy capital to newer assets. This approach is intended to mitigate technology change risk, operational and financial risk, support sustained growth and deliver long-term shareholder value.

Avation is an active trader of aircraft and from time to time will consider the acquisition or sale of individual or smaller portfolios of aircraft, based on prevailing market opportunities and consideration of risk and revenue concentrations.

 

Interim Management Statement

The disruption created by the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to recede following the successful rollout of global vaccination programmes that support a return to increased levels of air travel. This trend is already evidenced in regional and domestic travel and we expect will be followed by a recovery in international travel as we move through the remainder of the 2022 financial year.

Avation instituted a programme of support for its airline customers by agreeing to defer payment of a portion of their rent in the short-term. The cashflow impact of this support programme has been mitigated by adjusting the amortisation profiles of related financings with the agreement of lenders. Since the start of the pandemic the Company has also reduced cash administration costs and temporarily suspended capital expenditure.

Avation has consolidated its aircraft fleet and resolved numerous issues that have arisen as a result of the pandemic. The Company is in a position to look forward with cautious optimism to opportunities that will present themselves in a post pandemic environment.

The Company believes that airlines will require significant number of leased aircraft following the pandemic due to the large number of older aircraft that have been retired and the impact of the pandemic on airline balance sheets, reducing their ability to purchase aircraft directly. This supports the Company's strategy of focussing on young and popular commercial aircraft.

Funding of asset acquisitions is traditionally sourced from capital markets, asset-backed bank lending, operational cash flows and disposals of selected aircraft. Access to acceptably priced funding is a key factor in aircraft leasing. Specific risks which are inherent in the aircraft leasing industry include, but are not limited to, ongoing pandemic impacts on travel, the creditworthiness of airline customers, over-production of new aircraft and market saturation, technology change, residual value risks, competition from other lessors and the risk of impairment of aircraft assets.
