Air France KLM SA ( (AFLYY) ) has released its Q1 earnings. Here is a breakdown of the information Air France KLM SA presented to its investors.

Air France-KLM SA is a major player in the global airline industry, providing passenger and cargo transportation services, along with maintenance and leisure travel through its Transavia brand. The company operates in various geographical segments, including Europe, North America, and Asia.

In its latest earnings report for the first quarter of 2025, Air France-KLM reported an increase in revenues from ordinary activities to €7,165 million, up from €6,654 million in the same period last year. Despite this revenue growth, the company faced a net loss of €249 million, an improvement from the €480 million loss recorded in the previous year.

Key financial metrics highlighted in the report include an EBITDA of €396 million, significantly higher than the €176 million reported in the first quarter of 2024. The company also experienced a positive cash flow from operating activities amounting to €1,905 million, driven by an increase in advanced ticket sales. However, external expenses rose to €4,787 million, primarily due to higher aircraft fuel and maintenance costs.

Looking ahead, Air France-KLM’s management remains focused on strengthening its operational and financial position, as evidenced by recent measures at KLM, including job reductions in non-operational roles. The company aims to navigate the challenging market conditions while capitalizing on revenue growth opportunities across its diverse business segments.
