The Financial Statements are presented in thousands of US dollars, the Group's functional currency.

On September 30, 2024, equity amounted to USD 6.6 million, including share capital in the amount of USD 14 million and a share premium of USD 125.9 million. Reference is made to the Statement of Changes in Equity regarding the information on changes in equity. The average number of full-time employees was 547 in the period thereof 250 men and 297 women, and salaries and related expenses amounted to USD 38.9 million.

PLAY's cash position including restricted cash amounted to USD 39.8 million as at 30 September 2024. This is an increase in cash position compared to end of last year. On 24 April the Company completed an increase of share capital of USD 32 million.

During Q3 2024, PLAY operated its 10 flights to 32 destinations in Europe and North America. This included four new destinations which are Faro, Pula, Aalborg and Valencia. Load factor increased from 88% in Q3 2023 to 89% in Q3 2024.

Total revenue for Q3 was USD 100.5 million compared to USD 110.2 million last year. Therefore, total revenue per available seat kilometer (TRASK) was 5.8 US cent, compared to 6.1 US cents in 2023. This is mainly due to PLAY's airfare revenue is down by 11% year-on-year reflecting increased competition in the Transatlantic market. TRASK is down by 5% year-on-year due to overcapacity in the Transatlantic markets with pressure on yields.

PLAY's total assets amounted to 459 million USD as at 30 September 2024.

Outlook going forward

PLAY believes that flexibility in scaling production to demand has been and remains crucial for PLAY.
