Airbus’ 9M 23 figures missed the company-collected consensus estimate by 1% on revenue and by 11% on adjusted EBIT, largely due to the struggling Defence and Space segment in which a one-off charge of EUR0.4bn was booked due to the re-estimation of costs and re-assessment of risks, opportunities and competitiveness of the existing as well as the under-development projects. However, due to good performances from the other businesses and a FX tailwind, the company has re-iterated its FY23 guidance

Airbus published its Q1 figures which beat our expectations. While the revenues were in line with our expectations, adjusted EBIT was 6% above AV’s estimate, thanks to higher deliveries and a favourable hedge rate. With no surprise, Airbus’s commercial order intake increased by 303%, leading to a record level in the order book of €7.9bn. While the company confirmed its FY23 targets, its FY26 delivery target will be watched closely due to the additional headwinds we have in sight.
Airbus published its Q1 figures below our and the market’s expectations. Revenues were 4% above our estimate but the adjusted EBIT was a miss by 8%. However, the management re-confirmed that the FY23 guidance announced earlier this year had encompassed a weak Q1 and is confident of achieving its FY23 target. Following this results release, we will revise our Q2 figures downwards while leaving our estimates for FY23 unchanged. Hence, there will be no impact on our target price.
Despite an adverse operating environment, Airbus’s FY figures beat the consensus on all metrics. However, the supply chain is still far from full recovery and hence the company has postponed its 75/month narrowbody delivery target from 2025 to 2026. The guidance for 2023 stands at 720 deliveries and an adjusted EBIT of €6bn, which is below our current estimate. Hence, we will revise our estimates downwards.
Airbus reported a solid set of results and, most importantly, maintained its delivery guidance for the full year. The supply chain remains challenging, but Airbus believes it now has most of the components it needs to achieve its target. Despite Airbus’ low profitability in its core activity, thanks to the massive order intake in the Q3 the strong PDPs have generated an impressive FCF, prompting Airbus to readjust its FCF guidance upwards for the full year.
Airbus has reiterated its guidance, with a delivery target of 700 jets for FY22 and an expected production rate of 75 jets per month by 2025. Profitability is expected to reach the pre-covid levels by 2024. Although Airbus seems conservative in its profitability guidance, its delivery target seems out of reach.
Airbus will hold its long-awaited Capital Markets Day tomorrow in Toulouse, with the objective to restore confidence on the stock after having revised downwards its initial objectives last quarter. We believe there could be additional drama.
Airbus has reported the toughest quarter since the pandemic. It is even worse as it surprised the market, given the positive signals coming from Farnborough and the massive contracts it has signed recently. The supply chain has been particularly tough on the engine markers’ side, and Airbus has had to adjust its guidance downwards, from 720 jet deliveries to 700. Luckily, its low-cost base combined with several one-offs has still enabled Airbus to report miraculously strong profitability.
Airbus has published a massive beat in profitability and confirmed its ramp-up roadmap of 75 jets produced per month by FY25. Its strong A320 deliveries and the cost containment measures since COVID-19 have driven margins higher than all expectations. The FY22 guidance has been reiterated despite the impressive EBIT, due to macro-economic/geopolitical uncertainties in the near future. The only slight downside comes from the postponement of its A321XLR programme.
Airbus’s Q4 figures have beaten the consensus on all metrics, confirming its transition from a company mitigating its losses to a company well on track for growth. The success of its A320 family is unquestionable, and its high cash generation has enabled Airbus to propose a dividend again, and a stronger one than expected. Only the FY22 guidance seems conservative.
Airbus has provided a solid set of results for its Q3. Indeed, even though sales came in slightly below consensus, the profitability was better than anticipated. The guidance adjusted EBIT has been increased consequently.
Airbus reported a solid set of results and upgraded its minimum guidance for FY21. Through important one-offs and cost savings, it managed to explode the consensus on profitability. Airbus also reassured the market on future deliveries, a luxury that few companies in this industry can afford.
Airbus has shown robust sales in a complicated industry. The margins and cash were abnormally high this quarter due to good cost efficiency and significant one-offs. The company maintains its previously announced guidance, as the pandemic situation is still unpredictable.
2020 was quite a year, and the company’s performance was very decent given the circumstances. The positive note of the publication was the strong cash generation achieved in Q4. However, this has been shadowed by a very conservative guidance for 2021.
Overall, the Q3 report was broadly in line with expectations. Q3 showed a clear improvement over Q2 on the back of the production/delivery convergence in Airbus commercial. Airbus recognized €1.2bn in restructuring charges this quarter, in both Commercial and Defence, which dampened its reported EBIT. The cash performance was better than anticipated and the target for no cash consumed in Q4 is maintained.

FY23 results show very strong growth over FY22, driven by strong Structural Steel activity, with results slightly ahead of upgraded profit expectations, while stronger than expected cash flow resulted in an unexpectedly generous dividend of 33p (offering a FY23 yield of 7.0%). The group now has net cash of £22.1m and is debt free and is therefore in a strong position for potential M&A activity. Following the recent £90m of new orders to increase the order book to record levels we conservatively

Invinity’s update on discussions with strategic investors reveals interest from multiple parties. While this has slightly delayed finalising an agreement it increases the potential for a better outcome. Although details are unknown at this stage, we think there is enough in the statement to be comfortable that any agreements will be consistent with the company’s strategy of growing market share in core markets and using a licencing and royalty model in other markets.
