The net operating loss for the group in 3Q18 is RM205 million (3Q17: Net loss RM60 million). This was mainly contributed by increase in average fuel price from USD65 per barrel in 3Q17 to USD91 per barrel in 3Q18. In addition, the Group has provided an impairment on amount due from joint venture amounting to RM138.2 million (3Q17: Nil)
The Group recorded a net loss of RM197.4 million in 3Q18, compared to the net loss of RM57.4 million in 2Q18. The recorded losses are mainly due to impairment as described in Note 19 and seasonal pattern in line with the business trend of the Group.
*Included in the total impairment of receivables is RM138.2 million (30 Sept 2017: Nil) relating to lease rental and maintenance reserve due from a joint venture through a third party leasing intermediary.
If without Impairment loss rm 138 millions and the fuel price rise almost 120++ millions, this quater should be profit ....
As u can see Staff cost drop, Depreciation up(depreciation can't do anything), Maintenance and overhaul drop almost 100 millions (this 1 they are doing very good, save almost 100 millions), Other operating expenses (because of the impairment)
KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 21): AirAsia X Bhd (AAX) was hit by a RM138.2 million impairment on an amount due from a joint venture in its third quarter ended Sept 30, 2018 (3QFY18)
“The company expects operational cost ex-fuel to be lower in the coming quarters, as it starts to see fruits from its cost-saving initiatives, mainly driven by lower aircraft lease rates, cheaper ground handling at foreign stations and from unlocking operational network synergies with short-haul affiliates,” it said.
The airline is adding four aircraft to its fleet this year, two via leases by AirAsia X Malaysia, with one already delivered in October. AirAsia X Thailand is expecting the other two aircraft before year end.
“Based on the current forward-booking trend, forward loads are ahead of the previous year. Bookings in the coming months are expected to be stronger year-on-year,” AAX said, not discounting headwinds like fuel cost pressures and intensified competition.
“Notwithstanding concerns over global trade tensions, demand in the short term is expected to remain healthy,” it added.
The Company’s performance in third quarter 2018 was impacted by the hike in fuel price and the provision for doubtful debt in relation to our Indonesian associate. However, we are confident that positive growth will return in coming quarters on the back of improved fare structures and better cost efficiencies.”
“Additionally, the Management maintains prudence in monitoring our operating expenses and are actively looking for more avenues to reduce cost ex-fuel further. Based on the observed booking trends, we are confident that the Company is in-line with a better 4Q18 as current forward load exceeds that of the previous year.”
Fuel price down, doubtful debt clear, 4Q18 show time.
Tomorrow will drop but not much la, maybe 0.215-2.22, Of course la, sure got panic sell, see lost 4 sens, sure panic sell lo. Not everyone will study the QTR report mah, But price will up back la, Once they realiase there are 138 millions is Impairment, and it was due to high fuel price. Now oil price is $63++ already, not like before Jun to Sep $75-85.
Others all cost all also decrease, only this IMPAIRMENT and Fuel expenses
I had compare this 3 years quarterly report, this quarter Performance is Good.
With 1077 millions Revenue, but only 90 millions Staff Cost, only 8%, others quarter Staff Cost around 9-10 %
Depreciation increase, it is Depreciation, not control by AAX, price of property, plant and equipment down then depreciate much, if price up , the depreciate less
Fuel expenses, Cost around 447 millions. If you compare with year 2017, there are only around 350 millions fuel expenses each quarter , If you compare with 2016, there are only around 250 millions each quarter. There different is Very Very huge compare 2018 with 2017 or 2016, different around 100-200 millions !!!
But now High Oil Price is Over !! you can check back Oil price chart, Jun 2018 to September 2018 average brent price is around $75-80. But what you see now, Starting from October 2018 Oil price drop very kau ok !! From $80 drop untill now only left $63. Already drop $ 20
This is the reason Why those director say that coming quater result will be Good, that why, Oil Price now only $63, who also know coming will be good lo, oil price $60++
Maintenance and overhaul, this part AAX do EXTREMELY good, AAX is focus on Long Haul flight, this different with Air Asia, Air Asia is short Haul flight.
With higher Revenue, Maintenance and overhaul will be more higher, you know lo, use more plane, more flight, create more Revenue.
Now only cost 114 millions with 1077 millions Revenue. You can compare with other quarter, NORMALLY Maintenance and overhaul cost AAX around 150-200 millions !!
From today Result, Compare with last 2017 QTR 3 cost 233 millions, this 2018 QTR 3 only 114 millions, save more than 100 millions already
2017 QTR 4, AAX Maintenance only 75 millions, that why at that time AAX price up around 10 %
User charges and Aircraft operating lease expenses Cost also decrease !! but not much only 10 millions each, it consider a bonus
Other operating expenses, hello, this 1 everyone also know lo, It is impairment !!!! Quarter report got mention IT IS IMPAIRMENT !!! One Off only !! If deduct this 138 millions, it is only 77 millions !! Check Page 26 of the qtr report
If not because Oil Price and Impairment, AAX this quarter is profit much, at least 50 millions profit, all the others cost Drop much, Do take note, NOW oil price already drop, now $63 only , not like Jun 2018 to September 2018 $75-80.
Gn021, talk & write long long statement also useless. Qtr profit drop, share price will drop, this will happen today and this is called normal phenomena. FA may be good but it is only suitable for the intrinsic value analysis. In stock market all share price will impact by the numbers stated in qtr report and the banker. Banker push-up then price up, banker press down then price down. Insider buy before the the good new announce, price up....price down before the bad news coming out. We, retailer only can play by follow the market trend, remember we are small fish not the Meg.
Tis quarter has defer taxation of 50mil. If exclude tis and need pay actuall, loss will be bigger. Probably right issue also coming as mentioned by cimb report due to depleting operating cash.
Tony is definitely one of the biggest con man in Malaysia history. Remember how he talked about Airasia X when looking out for IPO. IPO price at 1.25, watch how it performed all these years. Wondering how those big shareholders think now. And he still plans for other listings in other countries, what a con man master.
