Air France-KLM SA, together with its subsidiaries, provides passenger and cargo transportation services on scheduled flights in Metropolitan France, Benelux, rest of Europe, and internationally. The company operates through Network, Maintenance, Transavia, and Other segments. It also offers airframe and engine maintenance services; component support services comprising electronic, mechanical, pneumatic, hydraulic, etc.; and other services, as well as operates point-to-point flights to/from the Netherlands and France.

How the Company Makes Money

Key revenue streams include passenger fare income, which is derived from ticket sales across its extensive domestic and international routes, and cargo revenue from the transportation of goods. Additionally, the airline benefits from ancillary revenues obtained through services such as baggage fees, seat selection, and in-flight sales. The company also engages in partnerships and code-sharing agreements with other airlines, enhancing its market reach and operational efficiency. Loyalty programs, such as Flying Blue, contribute to revenue by encouraging repeat business and customer retention.

AIR France KLM Financial Statement Overview

Summary

Air France KLM shows improving revenue and profitability metrics, with a gross profit margin of 22.76% and a net profit margin of 3.18%. However, the high leverage and negative equity position pose significant financial risks, necessitating a focus on balance sheet strengthening.

Income Statement

The income statement shows a positive trend with revenue growth and improving margins. The TTM data indicates a gross profit margin of 22.76% and a net profit margin of 3.18%, which are improvements over previous years. However, the airline industry faces challenges with fluctuating fuel costs and economic conditions, which can impact profitability.

Balance Sheet

The balance sheet reveals significant leverage with a high debt-to-equity ratio of -15.69 in the TTM period, indicating financial risk. The negative stockholders' equity suggests potential solvency issues. Despite this, the company has managed to reduce its debt over time, which is a positive sign.

Cash Flow

However, the free cash flow to net income ratio is relatively low at 18.41%, suggesting limited cash conversion efficiency. The operating cash flow to net income ratio is also modest at 26.53%.
