Factsheet
The Company announces that its factsheet for the period to 30
September 2022 is now available on its website at
http://www.aa4plus.com . An extract from the Chairman's statement
within the factsheet is reproduced below.
The half year to 30 September 2022 has passed somewhat
uneventfully compared with last year. Dividends have been
maintained and indeed increased at the most recent review, however
the Directors believe that the share price continues to undervalue
the Company. How to unlock that value is an ongoing concern and we
will explore all avenues that will assist in this.
The Board continue to consider the values of the A350s, now that
they have leases attached out to 2035/6. It is fair to say that
there have been material differences in opinions of appraisers,
industry leasing professionals and market analysts as to what they
are worth and the Board continues to keep this under review. At a
macro level, long haul flying is still no more than 75% of its
pre-pandemic level with strong Transatlantic traffic contrasted to
slower Asia Pacific recovery. Many observers are predicting a
worldwide recession next year as negative real interest rates and
quantitative easing are revealed to have been maintained for far
too long. Some airlines will be at risk over the winter. Pre-covid,
Chinese and Russian tourists represented a significant share of
tourism to Thailand and they are yet to return in previous numbers,
although in the case of Russian tourists, this situation is
improving as the key winter season arrives. Against that, at least
in the second and third quarters, the A350s have been flown a
lot.
At a more specific level, the A350-900 is regarded as an
excellent fuel efficient aircraft which according to Ishka has
recovered to about 87-90% of its "Base" (that is, long term trend
value) whereas Thai Airways, notwithstanding the progress made over
the last two years, is a credit that many investors and financiers
will treat with caution and discount more heavily or require a
higher return, at least until it has emerged from bankruptcy
protection and shown that its rehabilitation plan is viable. The
prospect of income returns to shareholders from the A350s are
minimal due to lender constraints and, in light of the above, the
equity return remains difficult to quantify.
The A380s have been enjoying their steady return to service, and
Emirates plan to reconfigure 67 of their A380 fleet to Premium
Economy is a positive. At this stage we do not know whether this
number represents Emirates future fleet size.
