Outlook for FY 13

Outlook
We expect traffic in FY13 will grow by 5% to just over 79m passengers. H1 traffic will grow 7% while H2 will grow by 3%. Our fuel bill will rise by €320m in FY13 with most of this increase skewed into H1, and as a result we expect to report a Q1 profit fall due to these higher prices. We remain concerned about next winter as we have zero yield visibility but expect recession, austerity, currency concerns and lower fares at new and growing bases in Hungary, Poland, Provincial UK, and Spain will make it difficult to repeat this year’s record results. We expect that any increase in fares will only partially offset higher fuel costs, and accordingly we are guiding net profit in FY13 subject to final yield outturn will be lower than FY12 in a range of between €400m to €440m.
