NOTES

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025

 

1.       BASIS OF PREPARATION

 

As at 31 December 2025, the Group's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately RMB82,489 million. Considering the Group's expected operating cash flows and the Company's unutilised bank facilities as at 31 December 2025, the Directors believe that the Group has sufficient financial resources to finance its operation and to meet its financial obligations as and when they fall due within the next twelve months from the end of the reporting period. Accordingly, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis.

 

The Group's financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and the disclosure requirements of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance. These financial statements also comply with the applicable disclosure provisions of the Rules Governing the Listing of Securities on The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.

 

The IASB has issued certain new or amended IFRS Accounting Standards that are first effective or available for early adoption for the current accounting period of the Group. Note 2 provides information on any changes in accounting policies resulting from initial application of these developments to the extent that they are relevant to the Group for the current accounting period reflected in these financial statements.

 

2.       CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The Group has applied amendments to IAS 21, The effects of changes in foreign exchange rates - Lack of exchangeability issued by the IASB to these financial statements for the current accounting period. The amendments do not have a material impact on these financial statements as the Group has not entered into any foreign currency transactions in which the foreign currency is not exchangeable into another currency.

 

3.       REVENUE

Total revenue	171,484,646	166,698,880

 

Performance obligations for contracts with customers

 

Passenger revenue is recognised when transportation services are provided. Besides, the Group recognises the expected breakage amount as passenger revenue in proportion to the pattern of rights exercised by the passenger (or flown revenue) based on historical experience. Ticket sales for transportation not yet provided are recorded in air traffic liabilities.

 

The Group operates frequent-flyer programme and provides free services or products to the customers according to the miles they earn. The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative stand-alone selling price basis. The amount allocated to the miles earned by the frequent-flyer programme members is recorded in contract liabilities and deferred until the miles are redeemed when the Group fulfils its obligations to supply services or products or when the miles expire. During the year, the Group recognised revenue of RMB1,166 million (2024: RMB1,351 million) which was included in contract liabilities in relation to frequent-flyer programme at the beginning of the year.

 

Cargo and mail revenue is recognised when contract services are provided.

 

Revenue from other airline-related services is recognised when the related performance obligations are satisfied.

 

Sale of goods is recognised when control of the goods has transferred to the customer, being at the point the goods are delivered to the customer.

 

Transaction price allocated to the remaining performance obligation for contracts with customers

 

The customer loyalty points in frequent-flyer programme have a three-year term and these points can be redeemed anytime at customers' discretion during the valid period.

 

4.       SEGMENT INFORMATION

9.       LOSS PER SHARE

 

The calculation of the basic and diluted loss per share attributable to equity shareholders of the Company is based on the following data:

 

	2025	2024
	RMB'000	RMB'000
Loss
Loss for the purpose of basic and diluted loss per share	(1,787,943)	(232,557)

 

	2025	2024
	'000	'000
Number of shares
Issued ordinary shares at 1 January	17,448,421	16,200,793
Effect of reciprocal shareholding	(779,089)	(789,854)
Effect of share issued in 2024	-	453,621
Weighted-average number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic and diluted loss per share	16,669,332	15,864,560

 

The number of ordinary shares for the purpose of basic and diluted loss per share is calculated based on the number of ordinary shares in issue during the year, as adjusted to reflect the reciprocal shareholding with Cathay Pacific.

 

As at 31 December 2025, the potential ordinary shares (convertible bonds) of the Group's associate, Cathay Pacific, assuming their conversion into ordinary shares, would reduce the loss per share and have an anti-dilutive effect. As potential ordinary shares that are anti-dilutive are excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share, the basic and diluted loss per share of the Company are the same in both years.

 

10.     DIVIDENDS

 

No dividend was paid or proposed for ordinary shareholders of the Company during the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2025, nor has any dividend been proposed since the end of both reporting periods.

 POTENTIAL RISKS

 

1.       Risks of External Environment

 

Market Fluctuation

 

As China's economy maintained steady growth and residents' income increased steadily, the likelihood of fluctuations in the domestic market was relatively low. With the accelerated changes in the international landscape, external risks, challenges and uncertainties increased significantly, and certain international markets were exposed to some degree of volatility risk. Based on the characteristics of the new development stage, the Group will fully, precisely and comprehensively implement the new development philosophy, coordinate development and safety, and take the initiative to contribute to and integrate with the new development paradigm. Seizing the development opportunities in the industry, the Group will further develop its domestic route network and actively expand into emerging international markets, in a bid to proactively adapt to the rapidly changing market environment.

 

Oil Price Fluctuation

 

Jet fuel is one of the main operating costs of the Group. The performance of the Group is affected to a certain extent by fluctuations in jet fuel prices. During the Reporting Period, with other variables remaining unchanged, if the average price of the jet fuel rises or falls by 5%, the Group's jet fuel costs will rise or fall by approximately RMB2.502 billion. The collection of fuel surcharges has relieved the Company's jet fuel cost pressure to a certain extent.

 

Exchange Rate Fluctuation

 

Certain assets and liabilities of the Group are denominated in US dollar. Certain international income and expenses of the Group are also denominated in currencies other than RMB. Assuming that the risk variables other than the exchange rate stay unchanged, the appreciation or depreciation of RMB against US dollar by 1% due to the changes in the exchange rate will result in the increase or decrease in the Group's net profit and shareholders' equity as at 31 December 2025 by RMB140 million.

 

2.       Risks of Competition

 

Industry competition

 

During the Reporting Period, the Company still faced considerable competitive pressure within the industry. In respect of the domestic market, as there was no significant reduction in the number of market participants, against the backdrop of intensified competition from high-speed railway and changes in passenger structure, homogeneous competition still existed. In respect of the international market, the new routes of domestic airlines were mainly concentrated in destinations such as Central Asia, Western Asia and Europe, resulting in intensified competition in certain regions within a short period of time. Adhering to its hub network strategy, the Company will spare no efforts in building international aviation hubs in Beijing and Chengdu, realising differentiated development from other market competitors. Main routes and express routes will be launched centering on hubs as well as principal bases and markets with a view to strengthening core market competitiveness with high-quality products, services and travel experiences.

 

Alternative competition

 

With the increasing density of China's high-speed railway network, passengers on existing short-and medium-haul routes have gradually shifted to high-speed rail, which posed challenges to the civil aviation industry. At the same time, the extensive transport network of high-speed rail has also provided civil aviation with more punctual and efficient feeder traffic for medium- and long-haul routes, while more and more passengers chose the air-rail intermodal transport. Looking forward, leveraging the enhanced cooperation and competition between civil aviation and high-speed railway with complementary advantages, the integrated development of the air-rail intermodal transport will accelerate the construction of a modern comprehensive transportation system.

 

 SHARE CAPITAL STRUCTURE

 

As at the end of the Reporting Period, the Company had a total share capital of RMB17,448,421,000, divided into 17,448,421,000 shares with par value of RMB1.00 each. The following table sets out the share capital structure of the Company as at the end of the Reporting Period:

A Shares	12,492,810,328	71.60%
H Shares	4,955,610,672	28.40%
Total	17,448,421,000	100.00%

 

 PURCHASES, SALES OR REDEMPTION OF LISTED SECURITIES

 

During the Reporting Period, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries purchased, sold or redeemed any listed securities of the Company (including the sales of treasury shares (as defined in the Listing Rules)) (the term "securities" has the meaning ascribed to it under Paragraph 1 of Appendix D2 to the Listing Rules).

 CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

 

Compliance with the Corporate Governance Code

 

The Company has always been committed to maintaining and enhancing the level of its corporate governance so as to ensure greater accountability and transparency of the Group and deliver long-term return to its shareholders. The Company has complied with the code provisions in Part 2 of the Corporate Governance Code in Appendix C1 to the Listing Rules throughout the Reporting Period.
