The call highlighted strong financial performance and effective cost control, with strategic investments supporting future growth. However, challenges such as Boeing delivery delays and increased environmental costs pose risks, alongside uncertainties in the second half of the year.

Company Guidance -

Q2 2026

In the Ryanair Holdings Q1 FY '26 earnings call, CEO Michael O'Leary reported a strong profit after tax of EUR 820 million, a significant increase from the prior year's EUR 360 million during the same period. This improvement was attributed to factors such as a 4% increase in passenger traffic to 58 million and a 21% rise in average fares. Despite a 1% increase in unit cost inflation and operational challenges like Boeing delivery delays, Ryanair managed to widen its cost gap with competitors. The company also highlighted robust ancillary revenue growth of 3% and emphasized advantageous fuel hedging, with 85% of FY '26 fuel hedged at $76 a barrel and 36% of FY '27 hedged at just under $66 a barrel. Ryanair's balance sheet remains strong, with net cash up by EUR 2 billion, positioning the company to repay significant bonds due in the coming months. Despite potential risks from external factors, Ryanair remains cautiously optimistic about recovering almost all of last year's 7% full-year fare decline.
