Kenton Jarvis, easyJet's CEO, said:

 

"Since setting our medium-term targets in 2023 we have made significant progress, delivering a 46% improvement in profit before tax, adding 9% this year through the continued, successful execution of our strategy. easyJet holidays is today launching an even more ambitious goal having achieved its target early.  

 

"Our focus on investing in operations and enhancing customer experience, providing the warmest welcome in travel, has delivered improved punctuality, enhanced customer satisfaction and cost efficiencies this year.

 

"Having recently celebrated our 30^th birthday, I am proud of what easyJet has achieved. Very few companies remain as close to their roots as easyJet - making travel easy and affordable while contributing significantly to economic growth through increased connectivity, consumer choice and jobs.

"We are well placed to seize the significant opportunities ahead, and we are confident in achieving our medium-term goal of delivering over £1 billion in profit before tax."

Overview

easyJet has delivered another year of good earnings growth as headline profit before tax (PBT) rose 9% to £665 million. Operational performance, reflected through headline earnings before interest and tax (EBIT), increased by 18% or £106 million year on year (airline +£50 million, holidays +£56 million). This year, we made important capacity investments into longer leisure and city routes and opened strategic new bases at Milan Linate, Rome Fiumicino and London Southend. Our focus on capital discipline resulted in the closing of two underperforming bases, Toulouse and Venice, reallocating those aircraft, and new aircraft deliveries to bases already delivering top quartile returns.

We focused on operational performance, implementing proactive resilience measures before the peak summer season, resulting in on time performance increasing three percentage points, despite the external ATC environment (particularly across France) continuing to be challenging. This improvement in punctuality, alongside targeted enhancements across all aspects of the customer journey, drove a four percentage point improvement in customer satisfaction scores to 80%, the highest in a decade.

easyJet has made further progress towards its target to sustainably generate over £1 billion PBT in the medium term. easyJet holidays continues to perform strongly, achieving a PBT of £250 million in FY25, meeting our target ahead of schedule. As a result, we've set a new, upgraded target of achieving £450 million PBT by FY30.

The airline PBT performance, particularly over winter, has been more challenging to improve at the rate we originally anticipated, due the pace of route maturity and the wider geopolitical, macro-economic and competitive environment in specific markets. We are convinced that our actions through winter are the right ones to drive productivity and utilisation benefits while ensuring that the airline is well prepared for the key summer season, which is vital to overall profit growth. The Summer 2025 expansion into Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino (+8 aircraft) was a £20 million investment. A further £30 million investment is expected this winter, as we operate through our inaugural winter season at these locations. We are confident that these strategic investments will see revenue maturity over the coming years as they embed themselves into our route network. 

Visibility and confidence over our aircraft delivery profile is improving - helping to firm up timelines for upgauging efficiencies to be realised.

Shareholder returns

The Board is recommending an ordinary dividend of 13.2 pence per share (2024: 12.1 pence), amounting to £100 million (2024: £91 million) subject to shareholder approval at the upcoming Annual General Meeting. This will be paid on 27 March 2026 to those shareholders on the register at the close of business on 20 February 2026. This represents 20% of the headline profit after tax.

 

The Board is committed to maintaining regular returns to shareholders through this ordinary dividend. Future returns of excess capital will continue to be assessed, taking into account market conditions, capex requirements and progress towards the Group's medium-term targets. The Board remains focused on delivering attractive returns on capital employed for shareholders.

Sustainability

Our net zero roadmap is key to helping us lower the environmental impact of aviation and we are on track to meet our SBTi-validated 'interim' carbon target of 35% intensity reduction by 2035. We remain focused on the three-pronged approach to our net zero roadmap; reduce, replace and remove. This year, Sustainalytics ranked easyJet as the top-rated airline globally out of 69 airlines assessed with a score of 18.0. We are also one of the leading European airlines across MSCI (AA) & CDP (B), and have retained our place on the FTSE4Good index.

Balance Sheet

easyJet continues to have one of the strongest investment grade balance sheets in European Aviation (Baa2, stable, by Moody's and BBB+ stable, upgraded by Standard & Poor's at the end of September). As at 30 September 2025 our net cash position was £602 million (30 September 2024: £181 million) with access to £4.8 billion of liquidity (30 September 2024: £5.1 billion). This is £2.3 billion above our liquidity policy of unearned revenue plus £500 million, prefunding a significant amount of future capex.

Over the course of the year, easyJet took delivery of 9 new A320 family aircraft, all being taken into ownership through free cash generation. We were also presented with the opportunity to repurchase eight leased A320 family aircraft, taking them back into ownership, further strengthening our owned assets position. This action will deliver structural cost efficiencies going forward through reduced ownership costs. A non-cash accounting release of £54 million in FY25 was seen as a result. This one-off benefit is partially offset in the year-on-year comparison when taking into account other one-off items and balance sheet revaluations.

The strength of our balance sheet will support the future fleet modernisation and growth which is planned to deliver upgauging, profit improvements and attractive shareholder returns. The current net book value of owned assets is £4.8 billion with 85% of Neos in ownership. We expect this to grow to over £7.5 billion by FY28.

Outlook

·    Forward Bookings

-      Q1'26 is 81% sold, +2ppts year on year and we expect RASK to continue the trend seen in H2'25.  

-      Q2'26 is 26% sold, +1ppt year on year with pricing showing improvement as we see positive signs of route maturity benefits, partially offset by further investments into longer leisure flows and the first winter of operating Milan Linate and Rome Fiumicino remedy routes. As always, it remains too early to draw any conclusions on this quarter.

·    Cost outlook

-      FY26 total headline CASK is expected to see modest inflation as cost and operational efficiencies alongside favourable fuel prices partially offset market-wide cost inflation from increasing environmental costs, wages, maintenance, navigation and airport charges.

o  Material upgauging benefit expected in FY27 and FY28 as A319 retirements accelerate as aircraft deliveries ramp up

Balance Sheet

As at 30 September 2025 our net cash position was £602 million (30 September 2024: £181 million) with access to £4.8 billion of liquidity (30 September 2024: £5.1 billion). This is £2.3 billion above our liquidity policy of unearned revenue plus £500 million, prefunding a significant amount of future capex.

The strength of our balance sheet will support future fleet modernisation and growth which is planned to deliver profitable growth, upgauging and attractive shareholder returns. The net book value of owned assets is £4.8 billion with 85% of Neos in ownership. We expect this to grow to over £7.5 billion by FY28.

During the year easyJet entered into a new Revolving Credit Facility for $1.7 billion, which remains undrawn. This replaces the previous $1.75 billion UKEF facility and $400 million Revolving Credit Facility which were undrawn and have now been terminated. The new facility provides easyJet with a more efficient financing structure, reducing associated annual interest charges by £8 million compared to the previous facilities and secures liquidity until at least 2030. In addition, on 11 June 2025 we repaid a €500m Eurobond.

Airline Revenue

Airline revenue increased by 6%, reaching £8,666 million (£8,172 million in 2024). This was primarily due to an increase of 4% in capacity to 104.0 million seats (100.4 million in 2024).

This coupled with a 6% increase in average sector length meant that ASK capacity increased 9% in the year. This investment in capacity growth particularly in the first half resulted in airline revenue per available seat kilometre (RASK) decreasing by 3% to 6.45p (FY24: 6.65p).

	FY25	FY24	Variance favourable/ (adverse)
Airline Revenue (£'m)	8,666	8,172	6%
Total airline RASK (p)	6.45	6.65	(3)%
Total airline revenue per RPK (p)	7.10	7.32	(3)%
Total airline revenue per seat (£)	83.33	81.35	2%

Airline Costs

Headline airline cost per available seat kilometre (CASK) excluding fuel decreased year on year by 1%. This was driven by better productivity and utilisation over the winter, reduced disruption costs and benefits from the increased average sector length.

Airline net financing charges increased due to reduced interest income from lower market interest rates on our cash and an increase in interest charges relating to borrowings. This is driven by the annualisation of interest charges on the €850 million bond issued in March 2024 and the settlement of a €500 million bond which had a lower interest rate payable than the cash deposits used to repay it.

Fuel CASK decreased by 7% due to fuel efficiencies through some fleet modernisation and favourable hedged fuel prices which more than mitigated the impact of free ETS allowances being phased out as well as the introduction of SAF mandates.

Total airline headline airline CPS (£)	79.34	77.17	(3)%

 

 

Holidays

easyJet holidays revenue increased by 27%, ahead of the 20% increase in customers due to an increase in average selling price of 5% to £698 (FY24 £668). Total holidays costs increased by 26% primarily due to the 20% increase in customers. The business continues to scale efficiently as well as seeing a benefit from FX in the year.

easyJet holidays delivered £250 million of PBT, achieving its medium-term target ahead of plan, resulting in a new upgraded target of £450 million PBT by FY30.

	FY25	FY24	Variance favourable/ (adverse)
Holidays customers (thousands)	3,090	2,575	20%

Non-Headline Items

Non-headline items are those where, in management's opinion, separate reporting provides an additional understanding to users of the financial statements of easyJet's underlying trading performance, and which are significant by virtue of their size and/or nature. These costs are separately disclosed, and further detail can be found in the notes to the financial statements. This year saw a non-headline cost of £7 million (2024: £8 million cost) primarily due to restructuring costs for France and Italy offset by a release of Germany severance costs previously recognised.

Fleet

easyJet's total fleet as at 30 September 2025 comprised 356 aircraft (30 September 2024: 347 aircraft). The increase was driven by the acquisition of 9 new A320neo family aircraft.

No aircraft exited the fleet during the year. In the coming years, easyJet plans to retire older, less efficient aircraft, allowing the business to benefit from the A320neo family aircraft which have superior fuel efficiency and a greater number of seats, generating efficiency savings across many cost line items. 

easyJet already has 94 A320neo family aircraft within its fleet. It also has an existing order book with Airbus to FY34 for a further 290 A320neo family aircraft which are still to be delivered alongside 100 purchase rights. This provides easyJet with the ability to complete its fleet replacement programme of A319 aircraft and replace approximately half of the A320ceo aircraft, alongside providing the foundation for disciplined growth.

The average age of the fleet increased to 10.9 years (30 September 2024: 10.2 years). The average gauge of the fleet is currently 181.3 seats per aircraft (30 September 2024: 180.7 seats).  Fleet as at 30 September 2025:

 

	Owned	Leased	Total	% of fleet	Changes since Sep-24	Firm Orders
A319	18	64	82	23%	-	-
A320	107	73	180	51%	-	-
A320neo	70	5	75	21%	6	125a
A321neo	10	9	19	5%	3	165a
	205	151	356		9	290
Percentage of total fleet	58%	42%
Percentage of total NEO sub-fleet	85%	15%

a)     easyJet retains the option to alter the aircraft type of future deliveries, subject to providing sufficient notification to the OEM.

Our flexible fleet plan allows us to expand or contract the size of the fleet depending on the demand outlook. easyJet retains the ability to utilise its existing fleet of A319 aircraft to maintain its base fleet plan despite FY26 - FY28 deliveries being reduced.

Number of aircraft		FY25	FY26	FY27	FY28
Current fleet plan		356	370	381	395
New aircraft deliveries		9	17	30	43
Retirements		-	3	19	29
Gross capital expenditure (£'m)		c.1,300	c.1,700	c.2,300	c.3,300

 

FY25 excludes three wet lease aircraft from the Lufthansa Group. This agreement is part of easyJet being the slot remedy taker at Milan Linate & Rome Fiumicino.

Capex is comprised of new fleet delivery payments, maintenance related expenditure, lease payments and other capital expenditure such as IT development.

Strategy

easyJet's purpose is to make low-cost travel easy. Our strategy is built around four key priorities that leverage our structural benefits in the European aviation market. These strategic initiatives guide easyJet towards its goal of becoming Europe's most loved airline, delivering value for our customers, shareholders, and people. The details of our strategic priorities are as follows:

·    Building Europe's best network

·    Strengthening revenue

·    Delivering ease and reliability

·    Driving our low-cost model

 

 

Building Europe's best network

easyJet has a strong network of leading number one and number two positions in primary airports, which has proven to be the most appealing to customers and therefore amongst the highest yielding in the market. This enables us to be efficient with our network choices, with an emphasis on maximising returns.

easyJet continues to optimise its network to ensure capacity is deployed in the markets where we see the strongest demand and returns. This year, we made important capacity investments into longer leisure and city routes and opened strategic new bases at Milan Linate, Rome Fiumicino and London Southend. Our focus on capital discipline resulted in the closing of two underperforming bases, Toulouse and Venice, reallocating those aircraft, and new aircraft deliveries to bases already delivering top quartile returns.

As a result of this, easyJet saw FY25 ASK capacity increase by 9% with increased capacity into longer leisure destinations, reflected through the average sector length increase of 6%.

From our bases, we launched 206 new routes for the financial year, including winter sun destinations such as Luxor and Cape Verde as well as continuing to restore our city offering across Europe as demand builds for these routes. As part of our continued focus on capital allocation, we also stopped 76 routes in the year.

Our focused network strategy can be summarised as follows:

1.    Lead in our Core Markets

easyJet prioritises slot-constrained airports as these are where customers want to fly to and from and as a result have superior demand and yield characteristics. In our core markets, we are able to achieve cost leadership and preserve scale. We provide a balanced network portfolio across domestic, city and beach destinations. Our scale enables us to provide a market leading network and schedule.

2.    Investment in Destination Leaders

We will build on our existing leading positions in Western Europe's top leisure destinations to provide network breadth and flexibility. This will also unlock cost benefits, enabling us to manage seasonality and support the growth of easyJet holidays. It also ensures that easyJet remains top of mind for customers and is seen as the 'local airline' for governments and hoteliers.

3.    Build our network in Focus Cities

easyJet is building a network of key cities, broadening our presence across Europe. This is a low-risk way of serving large origin markets. We will base assets in focus cities where it makes sense from a cost perspective.

Strengthening revenue

easyJet recognises that the continued evolution of our product portfolio represents a significant opportunity to better meet our customers preferences and build on spend per passenger, whilst delivering enhanced sustainable returns.

Airline:

The airline has a program of continuous improvement to optimise ticket and ancillary revenue. Our fully owned app allows easyJet to further enhance our popular customer app at speed. Alongside this, easyJet's inflight retail proposition has seen profit per seat increase by 7% compared to the equivalent period in 2024.

 

easyJet holidays:

easyJet holidays continued its expansion with 20% customer growth in the year and 32% profit growth to £250 million and has taken its UK market share from 7% to 10%. This strong performance has meant that the business has met the medium-term target of over £250 million PBT and has therefore set a new target of £450 million by FY30. This growth is being delivered alongside strong customer satisfaction scores of 83%.

As the holidays business moves into the next phase of growth, targeted investments will be made to strengthen the customer base as we increase the attachment rate on both beach and city destinations. The business continues to expand its brand awareness through accessing new customers via other channels such as our partnership with Tesco Clubcard and the launch of the new luxury proposition in October 2025.

Our multi-currency technology platform enables expansion into other source markets, as demonstrated through the existing source markets of UK, Switzerland, France and Germany.

Delivering ease and reliability

easyJet has a loyal customer base, with 71% of seats booked by returning customers. Customer satisfaction of 80% improved by 4 percentage points YoY, the highest score in a decade. There were improvements across all touch points including "at airport" scores as a result of our re-launched customer service training and the addition of targeted on the ground support at our largest airports. Our focus is to provide our customers with the warmest welcome in travel.

We have continued to invest in building resilience into our network. This includes a core focus on our on-time performance, ensuring standard aircraft turn times are met regardless of external delays, in order to further reduce disruption events. As a result of recent investments, we have seen a 4 minute improvement (+9% YoY) in our average turn time over peak summer operations. In addition to this, we are using data and automation to provide a better service to our customers. For example, we continue to use SkySYM to simulate the network and pro-actively mitigate pinch points where there is a heightened risk of delays. As a result of easyJet's targeted resilience actions, we have seen OTP improve 3 percentage points year on year despite the poor ATC performance, particularly across France.

easyJet aims to deliver a seamless and digitally enabled customer journey at every stage and is continuously working to enhance the customer experience. The focus areas to deliver ease in the customer experience are:

·    Communications: providing helpful and timely information flows and creating cohesion across the end-to-end experience. Use of technology and data to provide real-time information via the app, improve levels of first-time query resolution, productivity and customer satisfaction.

·    Airport journey: improving the airport experience by optimising core processes including boarding and bag drop, adding home and locked screen notifications in the app as well as providing real-time information available to ground staff.

·    Inflight offering: creating a more personalised service through product offerings and enhancing the current crew's engagement.

·    Disruption management: focusing on resilience measures to minimise disruption events alongside simplifying processes and a new automated service recovery.

·    Enabled front line staff: ensuring staff have timely operational information to better serve customers.

Driving our low-cost model

easyJet has a cost advantage over its major competitors on the primary network that it operates. Alongside cost actions, easyJet is focused on margin through its network optimisation, effective pricing management and ancillaries driving higher yields.

Our focus on increased winter productivity and utilisation alongside lower disruption costs over the whole year more than offset market-wide inflationary cost pressure in FY25. This alongside the natural efficiencies from our increased average sector length, resulted in a 1% year on year reduction of non-fuel unit costs.

Maintaining our cost discipline is a core focus, with cost benefits delivered from many initiatives across the business, including:

·    Insourcing a proportion of our line maintenance and c.25% of heavy maintenance through our Malta facility enables easyJet to have greater control over maintenance, reducing costs incurred and improving the efficiency and quality of maintenance fulfilled.

·    Operational performance delivery as demonstrated by our on-time performance has resulted in significant disruption cost savings.

·    Increasing automation of self-service management: increasing digitalisation of customer flows and reducing the need for contact centre support.

·    Continued enhancement to our use of data and automation to drive efficiencies across the business.

·    Upgauging of the fleet: efficiency benefits will be unlocked as A319s leave the fleet, being replaced by A320neo family aircraft. This will enable us to unlock efficiency benefits, increasing the average gauge from 181 to the low 190s by FY28 and the low 200s by FY34. The increased mix of NEO aircraft will see additional fuel and airport incentive benefits as easyJet's remaining order book of 290 A320neo family aircraft enter the fleet.

Our People

OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS

Strong earnings growth alongside a further strengthened balance sheet, with further capacity investments driving increased asset utilisation and productivity, mitigating the continued market wide cost inflationary pressures.

Overview

Total headline earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) amounted to £703 million, an improvement of £106 million year on year (+18%) with both the airline (+£50 million) and easyJet holidays (+£56 million) going forward.

 

Total headline profit before tax for the year ended 30 September 2025 was £665 million, an improvement of £55 million (9%) on the year ended 30 September 2024 equivalent profit of £610 million. Within the year the airline delivered a headline profit before tax of £415 million (2024: £420 million), broadly flat year on year as strategic investments will see revenue maturity over the coming years as they embed themselves into our route network. easyJet holidays contributed £250 million to the Group profit before tax, £60 million ahead of the previous year (2024: £190 million), delivering its mid-term target ahead of schedule. Total revenue reached £10,106 million, £797 million (9%) greater than the prior year (2024: £9,309 million).

 

2025 saw a further expansion in fleet size with the addition of nine new A320neo aircraft which were deployed across our stronger performing bases as well as to the opening of new bases in Milan Linate, Rome Fiumicino and London Southend. Serving the 1,202 routes in the easyJet network, our aircraft allocation enabled capacity growth of 4% to 104.0 million seats (2024: 100.4 million). With a load factor of 90% (2024: 89%), this translated into 93.4 million passengers carried (2024: 89.7 million), an increase of 4% on the prior year. The additional capacity deployment was primarily focused on city, beach and non-EU destinations, resulting in total available seat kilometres (ASK) increasing by 9% to 134,451 million (2024: 122,885 million) and the average sector length rising 6% to 1,293 kilometres (2024: 1,223 kilometres). This strategic shift towards longer sectors naturally resulted in some revenue dilution with the corresponding efficiencies seen within cost. Alongside the investment into capacity growth through winter (H1 2025) where ASKs increased by 12% and airline revenue per available seat kilometre (RASK) reduced 6% year on year, this resulted in full year RASK seeing a 3% decline to 6.45 pence (2024: 6.65 pence).

 

The entire industry continued to see inflationary pressures across the cost base including the introduction of SAF mandates from January 2025, reduced no-cost ETS allowances, and continued inflation across navigation costs, raw materials, airport charges, maintenance and wages. Nonetheless, management retained focus on improving operational efficiency and customer ease by increasing punctuality, with on-time performance improving significantly during the year. This was achieved through proactive resilience measures, including increased crewing levels (especially in the busy summer period), renewed focus on aircraft turnaround times and the use of simulation to proactively adjust our schedule, resulting in a material reduction in disruption compensation and welfare expenses. Combined with continued attention to cost and fleet efficiency, easyJet's airline headline cost per available seat kilometre (CASK) excluding fuel of 4.46 pence reduced by 1% compared to the prior year (2024: 4.50 pence). Total CASK of 6.14 pence was a reduction of 3% compared to the previous year (2024: 6.31 pence).

 

easyJet holidays had 3.1 million customers in the year, including agent commission customers (2024: 2.6 million), a total increase of 20%, with an expanded hotel range and growth in UK market share supporting a revenue outcome of £1,440 million (2024: £1,137 million) and £250 million profit before tax (2024: £190 million).

 

With the Group's headline profit before tax performance improving by £55 million compared to the previous year, and easyJet holidays seeing headline profit before tax growth of £60 million, this has meant the airline's headline profit before tax remained broadly flat (a marginal decline of £5 million) compared to the previous year. The airline profit before tax performance, particularly over winter, has been more challenging to improve at the rate we originally anticipated, due to the pace of route maturity and the wider geopolitical, macroeconomic and competitive environment in specific markets. Alongside this, the airline invested £20 million during the year due to the launch of new base openings in Milan and Rome which are in the early stages of maturity.

 

Looking at the first half of the financial year, easyJet saw a slight improvement on prior year when adjusting for the timing of Easter. Reported headline loss before tax reached £394 million for the six months ended 31 March 2025 against a loss of £350 million for the comparative period. easyJet holidays H1 headline profit before tax of £44 million was an increase of £13 million compared to the previous year (H1 2024: £31 million).

 

The first half of the year was characterised by important capacity investments into longer leisure destinations on top of additional city destinations. This investment provides a starting point for crew and asset productivity increases and a platform to structurally reduce winter losses in the medium term. ASKs grew 12% to 55,570 million (H1 2024: 49,421 million) and led to first-half revenue of £3,534 million (H1 2024: £3,268 million), an increase of 8%. However, RASK of 5.64 pence was down 6% compared to the previous year (H1 2024: 5.98 pence) as a result of the timing of Easter, and the investment into longer sectors. Fuel prices remained lower than H1 2024 and, aided by easyJet's hedging policy, fuel costs on an ASK basis reduced by 8% to 1.71 pence (H1 2024: 1.85 pence). This was despite pressures from reducing ETS no-cost credit allowances, the introduction of SAF mandates and a catch-up in costs associated with an expansion of the scope of the EU-ETS scheme. Increased crew and asset productivity, alongside the natural efficiencies from an increased average sector length, saw CASK excluding fuel reduce by 4% to 4.72 pence (H1 2024: 4.90 pence).

 

The second half of the financial year delivered a headline profit before tax of £1,059 million (H2 2024: £960 million). easyJet holidays headline profit before tax of £206 million was an increase of £47 million (H2 2024: £159 million).

 

The second half period saw a more moderate capacity growth of 2%, with sector length growing by 6%, resulting in ASK growth of 7%. Despite the continued investment into longer sectors, H2 saw a limited RASK reduction of 1% to 7.01 pence (H2 2024: 7.10 pence), and airline revenue of £5,532 million was a 6% improvement over the same period last year (H2 2024: £5,215 million). Market-wide inflationary pressure across the airline cost base was a continual challenge, but with efficiencies from improved operational performance and falling fuel prices, this was largely mitigated. H2 CASK excluding fuel increased by 1% to 4.28 pence compared to the prior period (H2 2024: 4.23 pence). H2 total CASK of 5.93 pence was a reduction of 1% compared to the prior period (H2 2024: 6.01 pence).

 

Taken together, the full year saw a headline EBIT achievement of £703 million, an 18% improvement on the prior year (2024: £597 million), representing a year-on-year uplift of £50 million for the airline and £56 million for easyJet holidays.

 

Airline net financing charges increased due to reduced interest income from lower market interest rates on our cash and an increase in interest charges relating to borrowings. This was driven by the annualisation of interest charges on the €850 million Eurobond issued in March 2024, and the settlement of the €500 million June 2019 Eurobond which had a lower interest rate payable than the cash deposits used to repay it.

 

On a statutory level, profit before tax amounted to £658 million, £56 million higher than the previous year (2024: £602 million).

 

 

Building on this profit growth, easyJet continues to have one of the strongest investment grade balance sheets in European Aviation (Baa2/stable from Moody's and BBB+/stable from Standard & Poor's). In the year, easyJet repaid a €500 million Eurobond, and secured a $1.7 billion revolving credit facility (RCF) which is undrawn at 30 September 2025 (this new RCF replaced an existing $400 million RCF and a $1,750 million UKEF backed facility which were both cancelled at the same time the new facility commenced). At 30 September 2025, easyJet had a net cash position of £602 million (2024: £181 million) and as a result of our strong balance sheet position and EBIT performance, the year-end headline ROCE of 18.0% (2024: 16.1%) achieved our target of delivering high teen returns on capital employed.

 

Over the course of the year, easyJet took delivery of nine new A320 family aircraft, all being taken into ownership through free cash generation. We were also presented with the opportunity to repurchase eight leased A320 family aircraft, taking them back into ownership, further strengthening our owned assets position. This action will deliver structural cost efficiencies going forwards through reduced ownership costs. A non-cash accounting release of net £54 million in FY25 resulted from the lease repurchase. This one-off benefit is partially offset in the year-on-year comparison when taking into account other one-off items and balance sheet revaluations.

1)     Ownership costs are defined as depreciation and amortisation plus net finance income/(charges). 2)     per ASK metrics are for the airline business only and correlate to the airline revenue and costs and the available seat kilometres flown by the airline. Both airline and easyJet holidays profit is included in the total headline loss per seat metric, and easyJet holidays' key metrics are included in the key statistics section of this document.

Total revenue increased by 9% to £10,106 million (2024: £9,309 million), however with a shift to longer sectors, airline RASK of 6.45 pence was a decrease of 3% on the prior year (2024: 6.65 pence). The airline performance was complemented by strong easyJet holidays delivery, with net revenue (i.e. excluding flight revenue which is reported under airline revenue) of £1,440 million (2024: £1,137 million), an increase of 27%.

 

Total headline costs excluding fuel increased by 11% to £7,188 million (2024: £6,476 million), driven by the volume of flying, an increase in sector length, the growth of easyJet holidays and general market-wide cost pressures. Costs were also impacted by the disruption seen throughout the year with £109 million of EU261 compensation and welfare costs incurred, although this was lower than the previous year (2024: £187 million), noting that part of the reduction is linked to the release of a customer liability of £24 million (2024: £5 million). Additionally, depreciation and other costs benefit from a net £54 million credit (2024: £nil) following the early exit of eight aircraft leases and the subsequent purchase of the aircraft. On a CASK basis total airline headline costs excluding fuel reduced by 1% to 4.46 pence (2024: 4.50 pence), with CASK benefiting from fixed operating costs being spread across greater ASKs.

 

Total fuel costs increased by 1% to £2,253 million for the year (2024: £2,223 million), which on an airline CASK basis represented a 7% decrease to 1.68 pence (2024: 1.81 pence). Jet fuel price was down on average across the year by 18%, and this was particularly prevalent in H1 where fuel prices were down on average 23% compared to the previous year.

 

Exchange rate movements stabilised in the year, and with the benefit of FX hedging, resulted in a net credit impact of £54 million (2024: £18 million) across costs and revenue, with an income statement debit of £12 million (2024: £4 million credit) from the translation of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities on the statement of financial position. On a constant currency basis, the increase in headline profit before tax compared to the prior year was £14 million, compared to the £55 million increase in the reported figures.

 

easyJet's investments continued to benefit from relatively high interest rates, although lower than FY24, and overall financing activity in the year resulted in a net £26 million finance charge (2024: £9 million net credit).

 

easyJet holidays contributed £250 million of headline profit before tax (2024: £190 million), an increase of 32%, reflecting the 20% increase in total easyJet holidays customers and the strength of the business model.

 

A non-headline charge of £7 million (2024: £8 million) was recognised in the year, with additional costs for the network restructuring activity in France and Italy offset by a release of costs previously provided for severance cases in Germany which were settled in the year.

 

Corporation tax has been recognised at an effective rate of 24.9% (2024: 24.9%), resulting in an overall tax charge of £164 million (2024: £150 million). This is a tax charge of £166 million on headline items offset by a £2 million tax credit on the non-headline items.

 

Total headline profit before tax per seat was £6.39, 5% ahead of the previous year (2024: £6.08).

Average capital employed		2,930		2,786
Headline return on capital employed		18.0%		16.1%
Total return on capital employed		17.8%		15.9%

 

ROCE is calculated by taking headline profit before interest, foreign exchange (loss)/gain and tax, applying tax at the prevailing UK corporation tax rate at the end of the financial year, and dividing by average capital employed. Capital employed is defined as shareholders' equity excluding hedging and cost of hedging reserves less net (cash)/debt.

Headline ROCE for the year of 18.0% is an improvement on the prior year (2024: 16.1%). This reflects the higher headline profit for the year combined with the increase in the net cash position. Total ROCE of 17.8% (2024: 15.9%) is reduced by the non-headline charge in the year, which is broadly aligned to the 2024 non-headline charge.

Net cash at the beginning of the year		181		41		140
Net cash at the end of the year		602		181		421

 

Net cash as at 30 September 2025 was £602 million (30 September 2024: £181 million) and comprised cash, cash equivalents and other investments of £3,528 million (30 September 2024: £3,461 million), borrowings of £1,881 million (30 September 2024: £2,106 million) and lease liabilities of £1,045 million (30 September 2024: £1,174 million).

Net working capital outflow, excluding unearned revenue, moved £34 million in the year (2024: £174 million) with a marginal increase in trade receivables and a decrease in the derivative financial instruments liability, partially offset by a reduced value of ETS allowances held at the year end.

The unearned revenue movement of £209 million (2024: £240 million) reflects capacity on sale at the year end, including the benefit of the continued growth of easyJet holidays which traditionally has a longer booking period compared to the airline.

The decrease in depreciation and amortisation to £743 million (2024: £770 million) includes additional depreciation from the growth of the fleet and the increase in leased aircraft maintenance costs, recognised through depreciation, with the rise in flying volumes and changes in the profile of leased aircraft assets through the year. Intangible asset amortisation has also increased with additional investment in technology assets. This increase has been offset by a £60 million release from the leased aircraft maintenance provision following the early exit of eight aircraft leases (with the aircraft being subsequently brought into ownership).

Net capital expenditure in the year of £1,001 million (2024: £929 million) reflects the continued investment in fleet renewal and growth in the overall size of the fleet, alongside pre-delivery payments against our future order book. The expenditure is across nine new aircraft (2024: sixteen), eight leased aircraft brought back into ownership (2024: nil), maintenance additions, pre-delivery payments and capital expenditure on long life parts, engines and aircraft spares. Additionally, spend on easyJet's digital infrastructure and customer facing platforms continues with significant intangible asset investment.

The net £58 million movement (2024: £109 million) in 'Other' is predominantly made up by foreign exchange impacts, costs associated with employee share schemes, and net losses on sale of property, plant and equipment.

easyJet's Foreign Currency Risk Management policy aims to reduce the impact of fluctuations in exchange rates on future cash flows. Refer to the notes to the financial statements for more details.

As a European carrier, easyJet recognises a significant element of revenue, 34%, across its network in euros. Therefore, the strengthening of sterling against the euro on average over the year, when compared to the prior year, has reduced the value of the revenue translated into sterling. The euro exchange rate impact in revenue has been partially offset by the converse impact on costs, with the stronger average sterling rate to euro compared to the prior year reducing costs translated from euros. Along with the strengthening of sterling against the US dollar, which has reduced translated costs, particularly across fuel and maintenance, there is a favourable foreign currency impact of £54 million across the consolidated income statement.

The impact on the income statement from the functional currency translation of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities was a £12 million loss in the year (2024: £4 million gain).

FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

easyJet holidays revenue 1		1,440		1,137
Total revenue		10,106		9,309

 

1)     easyJet holidays numbers are after the elimination of intercompany airline transactions.

 

Total revenue increased by 9% to £10,106 million (2024: £9,309 million).

Revenue performance in the year was supported by ASK growth, through a function of increased capacity and sector length, with a focus on growing city, beach and non-EU routes. Whilst this delivered positive revenue growth, natural sector length dilution in addition to a challenging competitive environment on some routes through winter where easyJet, alongside other carriers, simultaneously sought to reallocate capacity originally planned to operate into Tel Aviv, resulted in a 3% decrease in airline RASK to 6.45 pence (2024: 6.65 pence). Passenger RASK was 3% behind and ancillary RASK 4% behind prior year. The total number of passengers carried in the year increased by 4% to 93.4 million (2024: 89.7 million), supported by additional capacity with a 4% increase in seats flown to 104.0 million seats (2024: 100.4 million seats). A focus on longer sectors, with average sector length increasing by 6% to 1,293 kilometres (2024: 1,223 kilometres), delivered an ASK growth of 9%.

Airline ancillary revenue of £2,594 million was 6% ahead of the previous financial year (2024: £2,457 million) as a result of higher passenger numbers. Whilst ancillary RASK was 4% back on prior year, ancillary revenue per seat was ahead 2%. Our inflight retail offer continues to grow in popularity as menu choices and product ranges evolve, resulting in an improved profit per seat of 7% to £0.73 (2024: £0.68), delivering additional revenue of £8 million.

Before adjusting for flight revenue, easyJet holidays customers generated revenue of £1,917 million, a 26% growth on 2024 revenue of £1,521 million. Net of flight revenue, easyJet holidays revenue of £1,440 million was an increase of 27% (2024: £1,137 million), reflecting the growth in customer volumes and the success in increasing our share of the UK package holiday market, with an expanded hotel range and the promotion of new city destinations.

As in the prior year, within revenue there was a £19 million credit (2024: £47 million) arising from the release of aged contract liabilities within other payables, with £12 million recognised in passenger revenue and £7 million in ancillary revenue.

1)     Excluding flight costs

 

Headline CASK excluding fuel for the airline decreased by 1% to 4.46 pence (2024: 4.50p). Although many cost lines increased in absolute terms in the year, the additional seat kilometres flown across the expanded network were delivered at a proportionally lower cost, driving a unit CASK benefit.

 

Included within the total headline costs excluding fuel of £7,188 million is £1,190 million (2024: £947 million) related to the easyJet holidays business, the cost increase being due to the growth of the business.

 

Headline operating costs and income

Airports and ground handling operating costs increased by 9% to £2,161 million (2024: £1,989 million), a reduction of 1% to 1.60 pence (2024: 1.62 pence) on an airline CASK basis. With a network of largely slot-constrained and regulated primary airports, easyJet is subject to regulatory price increases with labour costs in the general market also contributing to overall cost increases. However, on a CASK basis, these cost increases were offset by an increase in available seat kilometres.

 

Crew costs increased by 12% to £1,198 million (2024: £1,074 million), an increase of 2% to 0.89 pence (2024: 0.87 pence) on an airline CASK basis, reflecting the allocation of the fixed element of crew costs over a higher ASK base. Higher costs in the period reflect industry wide pressures on wages, alongside the additional crew requirements for increased capacity and longer sector lengths, and an investment in resilience measures to mitigate the challenging operating environment across European airspace. Whilst crew productivity improved over winter, the resilience measures in place to support operational performance limited the ability to drive summer crew productivity, although overall productivity improved by 3% over the full year.

 

Navigation costs increased by 15% to £533 million (2024: £463 million) as a result of both Eurocontrol rate increases and longer sectors flown. This was a rise of 5% to 0.40 pence (2024: 0.38 pence) on an airline CASK basis.

 

easyJet holidays direct operating costs (excluding flights) increased to £1,072 million driven by the 27% growth in revenue during the year. The business continues to scale efficiently and explore ways to maintain its low fixed-cost base through digital initiatives and developments.

 

Maintenance costs increased by 16% to £451 million (2024: £390 million), an airline CASK increase of 6% to 0.34 pence (2024: 0.32 pence). The overall cost increase was the outcome of a higher number of aircraft maintenance events in this reporting period, and an increased average cost due to an ageing fleet combined with general cost pressures in the wider operating environment linked to inflation and supply chain challenges.

 

Selling and marketing costs increased by 6% to £273 million (2024: £257 million). Whilst marketing costs saw an increase to support the growth of the easyJet holidays business in the summer, airline marketing costs grew in line with ASK growth, with CASK of 0.16 pence (2024: 0.16 pence), flat against the prior year.

 

Total other costs decreased by 1% to £754 million (2024: £758 million), which for the airline was a reduction of 9% to 0.51 pence (2024: 0.56 pence) on a CASK basis. Other costs include the impact of the disruption experienced in the year, with net £109 million disruption compensation and welfare costs incurred (2024: £187 million). The operational focus in the year which delivered an improved on-time performance has positively reduced delays and cancellation events (for which easyJet is accountable) and as a result, disruption compensation and welfare costs have reduced. The reduction in compensation costs compared to the prior year includes a £24 million release (2024: £5 million) of a liability held for prior years' disruption costs where customer compensation claims were lower than our initial estimations. The other cost line also includes central employee costs and benefits, with headcount costs increasing as the business grows, and within this cost line net £6 million additional costs (2024: £nil) were incurred from extinguishing the leases for eight aircraft that were brought into ownership. Additionally, IT costs increased year on year with easyJet's continued investment in technology including infrastructure, data management and customer-facing system enhancements. Increases in easyJet holidays' fixed costs reflected growth in the segment.

 

Other income of £35 million was a decrease of £17 million from the prior year (2024: £52 million) and comprised income from a variety of non-revenue sources including dividend income and supplier compensation.

Headline ownership costs

Depreciation costs reduced by 7% to £679 million (2024: £727 million), a 15% decrease to 0.50 pence (2024: 0.59 pence) on a CASK basis. Nine new aircraft were delivered in the year and there were further lease extensions entered into to mitigate Airbus delivery delays, increasing depreciation. This increase was offset by a £60 million credit (2024: £nil) from the release of maintenance provision reserves for eight previously leased aircraft which were brought back into ownership in the year.

The increase in amortisation costs of 49% to £64 million (2024: £43 million) reflects easyJet's investment in technology in recent years, with continued enhancement to customer-facing platforms in addition to commercial infrastructure and the evolution of data insight and digital security technology. On an airline CASK basis, the 0.04 pence measure is a 33% increase on the prior year (2024: 0.03 pence).

 

Net interest and other financing income and charges were a £26 million charge (2024: £9 million net income) reflecting reducing interest income due to reducing market interest rates, an increase in interest charges relating to financing activity on Eurobonds, increasing interest payments of lease liabilities, and the unwind of discounting on longer-term provisions.

Foreign exchange losses of £12 million in the year (2024: £4 million gain) were minimal, being the output of the retranslation of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities arising from currency movements in the year, notably tempered by the benefits of FX hedging and natural hedging across the statement of financial position.

		2025			2024
		Total £ million	Airline pence per ASK		Total £ million	Airline pence per ASK
Fuel		2,253	1.68		2,223	1.81

 

 

 

 

Fuel costs for the year increased by 1% to £2,253 million (2024: £2,223 million), a 7% reduction on a CASK basis to 1.68 pence (2024: 1.81 pence). The spot price of jet fuel has fluctuated between $622 and $843 per metric tonne over the financial year, and whilst overall jet fuel prices reduced in the year, the absolute cost reflects the increased flying volume. On a per ASK basis, alongside the reduced fuel prices, nine additional aircraft deliveries in the year saw an increase of the more fuel-efficient NEO aircraft in the fleet. These benefits were partially offset by a reduction in the allocation of no-cost ETS allowances, as jurisdictions wind down the 'free' aspects of the scheme, with easyJet therefore increasing the proportion of purchased allowances utilised in the year, as well as the cost of responding to the introduction of sustainable aviation fuel mandates in calendar year 2025. Additionally within the year, a £15 million (2024: £nil) catch-up cost was recognised for changes in ETS regulations, in particular the expansion of the scope of flights covered by the scheme, and also to reflect an increase in published growth factor estimates for the CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) scheme.

easyJet uses jet fuel derivatives to hedge against increases in jet fuel prices in order to mitigate cash and income statement volatility. To manage the risk exposure, jet fuel derivative contracts are used in line with the Board-approved policy to hedge up to 24 months of forecast exposures. During the financial year, the average market price payable for jet fuel reduced by 18% to $709 per tonne from $864 per tonne in FY24. The overall post-hedge fuel price in the year was $761 per tonne (2024: $842), a 10% reduction compared to FY24. Approximately 79% of jet fuel was hedged in FY25.

Non-headline items

A non-headline charge of £7 million (2024: £8 million) was recognised in the year. This consists of a net £8 million additional costs of the network restructuring exercise in Italy and France (announced in FY24), offset by a £1 million release from the provision for the previously announced Germany restructuring programmes following a number of settlements finalised in the year.

 

Corporation tax

 

Corporation tax has been recognised at an effective rate of 24.9% (2024: 24.9%), resulting in an overall tax charge of £164 million (2024: £150 million). This splits into a tax charge of £166 million on the headline profit and a tax credit of £2 million on the non-headline items.

Since 30 September 2024 net assets have increased by £525 million.

 

The net book value of goodwill and other non-current intangible assets of £771 million (2024: £793 million) has reduced in the year by £22 million. This includes a reduction in non-current ETS assets of £44 million, now recognised as current assets at 30 September 2025, offset by ongoing investment in software development and applications of net £22 million, aimed at enhancing digital safety and security, and optimising commercial platforms and customer applications.

 

Property, plant and equipment net book value has increased by £506 million to £4,791 million (2024: £4,285 million). The depreciation charge for the year has been more than offset by the nine new owned aircraft brought into the fleet in the year, alongside eight leased aircraft brought into ownership, advanced payments on the Airbus order book and increased capitalised parts and maintenance.

 

At 30 September 2025, right of use assets amounted to £1,015 million (2024: £1,190 million) with lease liabilities of £1,045 million (2024: £1,174 million). The reduction in both the right of use asset and lease liability balances is driven by the termination of the eight aircraft leases, as well as a further year of depreciation and lease payments against these respective balances with some offset from lease extensions in the year.

 

There has been a £244 million increase in the net asset value of derivative financial instruments, reducing the net liability position in the year to £46 million (2024: £290 million). The movement is primarily due to an increase in the price of jet fuel, leading to jet fuel hedges being in an asset position compared to a liability position as at 30 September 2024. Similarly, there was a decrease in the net liability value of currency hedges, largely driven by sterling weakening against the euro. In addition, the settlement of the June 2019 Eurobond in the year led to the removal of a cross-currency swap liability, contributing to cross-currency swaps being in an asset position compared to a liability position in the prior year.

 

Unearned revenue increased by £209 million to £1,950 million (2024: £1,741 million), reflecting increased capacity on sale and the growth of easyJet holidays.

 

Other liabilities (excluding debt) amounted to £1,321 million at 30 September 2025, an increase of £257 million (2024: £1,064 million). This movement was primarily the result of an increase in easyJet's deferred tax liability from profit generated in the year, along with a higher lease asset maintenance provision linked to increased flying volumes.

 

Debt has reduced by a net £225 million to £1,881 million (2024: £2,106 million) with the repayment of a €500 million Eurobond in June 2025 partially offset by new borrowings from entering three aircraft into JOLCO (Japanese Operating Lease with Call Option) financing arrangements.

 

Overall, easyJet's net cash position has improved to £602 million (2024: £181 million).

Going Concern and Viability Statement

 

Assessment of Prospects

The strategic report in the annual report and accounts sets out easyJet's activities and the factors likely to impact the Group's future development, performance and position. The Finance Review in the annual report and accounts sets out our financial position for the year ending 30 September 2025, cash flows, liquidity position and borrowing activity. The notes to the financial statements include the objectives, policies and procedures for managing capital, financial risk management objectives, details of financial instruments and hedging activities and exposure to credit risk and liquidity risk.

 

In accordance with the requirements of the 2018 UK Corporate Governance Code, the Directors have assessed easyJet's prospects over a three-year period, taking into account its current position, the medium-term targets set out in the strategic plan and a range of internal and external factors, including principal risks.

 

The Directors have determined that a three-year period is an appropriate timeframe for this viability assessment considering the reliability of forecast information, the current macro-economic and market conditions and longer-term management incentives. However, it is noted that the high-level fleet plan used by easyJet necessarily forecasts over a longer time period to enable the future planning of aircraft deliveries which underpin our plans for fleet modernisation, future growth, cost efficiencies and sustainability improvements. This longer-term planning is evidenced by the aircraft purchase transaction, completed in FY24, which secured aircraft deliveries for the period FY29-34.

 

The assessment of the prospects of the Group includes the following factors:

·    The strategic plan - which takes into consideration growth expected by way of creating value through the business model, market conditions, future commitments, cash flow, expected impact of key risks, funding requirements and the maturity of existing financing facilities (see table on the next page);

·    The fleet plan - the plan retains some flexibility to adjust the size of the fleet in response to opportunities or risks;

·    Strength of the balance sheet and unencumbered assets - this sustainable strength gives us access to capital markets; and

·    Risk assessment - see detailed risk assessment in the annual report and accounts.

Stress Testing

easyJet's corporate risk management framework facilitates the identification, analysis and response to plausible risks, including emerging risks, as our business evolves in an ever-changing environment. Through our corporate risk management process, a robust assessment of the principal risks facing the organisation has been performed and the controls and mitigations identified.

 

Both individually and combined these potential risks are unlikely to require significant additional management actions to support the business to remain viable; however, there could be actions that management would deem necessary to reduce the impact of the risks. The stress testing scenarios identified in the table below, show that there remains sufficient liquidity under all scenarios. In the first four scenarios one of the assumptions is that new Eurobonds are issued, whereas in the last scenario no issuance of new Eurobonds is assumed.

 

Going Concern Statement

The financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis. In adopting the going concern basis the Directors have considered easyJet's business activities, together with factors likely to affect its future development and performance, as well as easyJet's principal risks and uncertainties through to March 2027.

 

As at 30 September 2025, easyJet had a net cash position of £602 million including cash, cash equivalents and other investments of £3.5 billion, and 58% of the total aircraft fleet are in ownership, three of which are encumbered. easyJet also has access to a committed Revolving Credit Facility (RCF) of $1.7 billion (£1.3 billion) resulting in total available liquidity of £4.8 billion.

 

The Directors have reviewed the financial forecasts and funding requirements with consideration given to the potential impact of severe but plausible risks. easyJet has modelled a base case representing management's best estimation of how the business plans to perform over the period. The future impact of climate change on easyJet has been incorporated within the base case cash flow projections to the extent these can be estimated.  This includes for example the cost of future fleet renewals, the future estimated price of regulatory carbon schemes (including UK and EU ETS and CORSIA), the phasing out of no-cost ETS allowances, the expected price and quantity of SAF requirements, and the cost of carbon removal credits and other sustainability initiatives.

 

The business is exposed to fluctuations in fuel prices and foreign exchange rates. easyJet is currently c.80% hedged for fuel in H1 of FY26 at c.$717 per metric tonne, c.54% hedged for H2 FY26 at c.$690 and c.31% hedged for H1 FY27 at c.$677.

 

In modelling the impact of severe but plausible downside risks, the Directors have considered demand suppression leading to a reduction in ticket yield of 5% and a reduction in easyJet holidays contribution of 5%. The model also includes the reoccurrence of additional disruption costs (at FY22 levels), an additional $50 per metric tonne on the fuel price, 1.5% additional operating cost inflation and an adverse movement on the US dollar rate. These impacts have been modelled across the whole going concern period. In addition, this downside model also includes a grounding of 25% of the fleet for the duration of the peak trading month of August to cover the range of severe but plausible risks that could result in significant operational disruption.  The impact of mitigating, controllable actions which the management team would be able to take in response to such risks have then been factored-in, being actions which do not require negotiation or other agreements to be obtained from third parties. Examples include reducing capex spend and exercising our contractual right to delay a certain number of aircraft deliveries.  This downside scenario resulted in a significant reduction in liquidity but still maintained sufficient headroom on liquidity requirements.

 

After reviewing the current liquidity position, committed funding facilities, the base case and the severe but plausible downside financial forecasts incorporating the uncertainties described above, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Group has sufficient resources to continue in operation through to at least March 2027. For these reasons, the Directors continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in preparing the Group's and the Company's financial statements.

 

As at September 2025	Maturity date	Funding (drawn and undrawn)
Eurobonds	March 2028	€1,200m
	March 2031	€850m
Revolving credit facility	June 20301	$1,700m

1)     Option to extend by up to two years at lender's consent.

 

Viability Statement

Based on the assessment performed, the Directors have a reasonable expectation that the Company and the Group will be able to continue in operation and meet all liabilities as they fall due up to September 2028. In making this statement, the Directors have made the following key assumptions:

1.    easyJet has access to a variety of funding options including capital markets, aircraft financing and bank or government debt. The stress testing demonstrates that the current funding with both the repayment and new issue of Eurobonds would be sufficient to retain liquidity in both the base and downside scenarios (noting that the new issue of Eurobonds is excluded from the specific lack of funding scenario).

 

2.    As with the going concern assessment, the impact of mitigating, controllable actions which the management team would be able to take in the downside scenarios have been factored-in, being actions which do not require negotiation or other agreements to be obtained from third parties.  Examples include reducing capex spend and exercising our contractual right to delay a certain number of aircraft deliveries.   

 

3.    In assessing viability, it is assumed that the detailed risk management process as outlined in the annual report and accounts captures all plausible risks, and that in the event that multiple risks occur, all available actions to mitigate the impact to the Group would be taken on a timely basis and have the intended impact. 

 

4.    There is no prolonged grounding of a substantial portion of the fleet greater than that included in the downside and alternative downside scenarios. This includes a grounding of 25% of the fleet for the duration of the peak trading month of August, to cover the range of severe but plausible risks that could result in significant operational disruption.

The key risks that are most likely to have a significant impact on easyJet's viability have been considered in the stress testing across multiple scenarios and are shown below. The assumptions applied to the models are based on the plausible but severe impacts of the risks, as assessed by our review of the current macroeconomic position and historical information across the airline industry. The principal risks have continued to be assessed for any changes in the risk environment. The actions in place to mitigate against these risks are included in the Risk section in the annual report and accounts.
