AAX balance sheet already fulfill the lifting of PN17 but the other crucial requirements are:
1. No injection of capitalA aviation with billions of liabilities; and
2. No default in payment by a listed issuer, its major subsidiary or major associated company, as the case may be, as announced by a listed issuer pursuant to paragraph 9.19A of the Listing Requirements and the listed issuer is unable to provide a solvency declaration to the Exchange
From CapitalA quarter 2 financial report: 36. Subsequent event On 16 August 2023, the Thai Bankruptcy Court (“Court”) commenced the proceedings to consider the business rehabilitation plan of Thai AirAsia X that was previously approved by the creditors in July 2023. The Court concluded that they have gathered sufficient evidence and information to make a decision. The Court has scheduled to render a decision in relation to the rehabilitation plan on 31 August 2023. The total amount to be written off for the Group is RM231.5 million after considering the recoverable amounts under the rehabilitation plan. However, a provision for doubtful debt of RM223.0 million has already been made, the additional impact to the income statement of the Group will be about RM8.5 million.
AAX will certainly be lifted away from PN 17. Based on past records, it's very common for Bursa to take at least 2 to 3 months to lift PN 17 status without having to submit a regularisation plan.
So AAX's PN 17 status will be lifted sometime in September or October.
The reason is Budget airline based on aircraft fast turnaround which long haul can't do. And by the way business travel ( company paid business travel) will never use long haul budget airline. The mean cuatomers are budget tour/ tour group travel, which are seasonal.
Some of the so called financial experts here are hoping for the death of aax. They forgot that they’re not business owner. They’re salarymen their whole life. It’s easy for them to judge. They said its business model didn’t work, poor balance sheet, T20 and corporate staff (they cut cost too) don’t fly with them etc.
To start with, budget airlines has never targeted premium flyers. But that doesn’t mean aax doesn’t have premium customers. I’ve seen royal member, business tycoon, politician etc fly with them. As for the business model, they’ve renamed themselves as medium-haul budget carrier. There’s a difference between long and medium hall. For balance sheet, they’re clean now.
The only issues these naysayers are having is bitterness. They can’t stand to see the company turns around. Maybe because they’ve had some major failure or regret in their own lives too.
Sir Richard Branson is AirAsia's Flight Attendant Jumat, 19 Oktober 2018 23:30 WIB
TEMPO.CO, Sepang - AirAsia X flight number D7-237 flying from Perth to Kuala Lumpur is a flight like none other. Passengers had a once-in-a-lifetime experience being served drinks by none other than Sir Richard Branson, owner of Virgin Air, who cross-dressed as one of the flight attendants. Sir Richard's new gig was part of his promise to AirAsia boss Tony Fernandes after losing a bet a couple of years ago.
Sir Richard, founder and chairman of Virgin Group, wore lipstick, shaved his legs, put on a sexy red skirt and joined AirAsia X's cabin crew in a special charity flight. The business magnate spent the 5.5-hour flight serving food and drinks, giving out souvenirs, doing some entertaining and making in-light announcements to the passengers and media partners from around the globe. The charity flight is part of a fundraising program for the Starlight Children Foundation.
Thai AAX To Provide Large Earning Boost By Editor -September 4, 2023
Maybank IB has maintained a buy call on AirAsia X Thailand with a higher TP of MYR3.56 as the investment house expects the 49%-owned AAX to contribute sizeable earnings going forward thanks to its recently concluded debt rehabilitation.
The fare environment in Thailand is more favourable than in Malaysia and Maybank IB expects it to remain as such in the near term. It has also raised the 2023, 2024, and 2045 core net profit forecast by 7%/47%/41% and migrated its valuation basis to 6x CY24E PER from 10x CY23E PER while the next catalyst will be the upliftment of PN17 status. On 31 August, the airline announced that the Central Bankruptcy Court of Thailand had approved its business rehabilitation plan. This means that creditors will take a haircut on the amount owed to them by TAAX. Unlike MAAX, TAAX will not have to share profits with creditors going forward. Recall that AAX stated that it expects to recognise its share of the debt settlement and waiver of debts pursuant to the debt rehabilitation amounting to c.MYR300m.
More importantly, the debt rehabilitation means that AAX will equity account for its share of TAAX net profits going forward. This is significant because TAAX has never contributed profits to AAX since commencing operations in 2013. Note that for 6M23, TAAX generated a core net profit of MYR98.8m which was much higher than AAX 6M23 core net profit of MYR8.7m (which was, in turn, entirely derived from MAAX) due to high unit passenger revenue of MYR1,110, which was 25% higher than MAAX’s.
To account for its share of TAAX net profits from Sep 2023 onwards, Maybank IB said it tweaked FY23E core net profit upwards for AAX by 7% and lift FY24E and FY25E core net profit by 47% and 41% respectively. Note that they are premised on the 8 Airbus A330s that TAAX currently has in its fleet. TAAX stated that it plans to grow its fleet count to 17 Airbus A330s over the next 5 years.
Thus, the house believes it is being conservative in its TAAX estimates.
