Air New Zealand Limited (AIR) Earnings Call Transcripts
Air New Zealand Limited's Latest Earnings Call - Q1 FY2026
Airbus SE reported its Q1 2026 earnings with revenues at EUR 12.7 billion, a 7% decline year-on-year, primarily due to lower commercial aircraft deliveries and U.S. dollar depreciation. EBIT adjusted decreased to EUR 0.3 billion from EUR 0.6 billion in Q1 2025. Free cash flow before customer financing was negative at EUR 2.5 billion. Despite these challenges, Airbus maintained its full-year 2026 guidance, targeting around 870 commercial aircraft deliveries, an EBIT adjusted of EUR 7.5 billion, and free cash flow before customer financing of EUR 4.5 billion.
