On January 29, 2025 KLM announced a reduction of 250 jobs in non-operational roles. All related domains have to prepare a specific plan, which will be discussed with the Works Council. KLM will try to avoid forced layoffs, although KLM cannot rule this out in advance.
This event does not have an impact on the 2024 and 2025 financial statements.
There were no significant post-balance sheet events.
Pursuant to the European Regulation No. 1606/2002 of July 19, 2002, the consolidated financial statements of the Air France-KLM Group as of December 31, 2024 were established in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as adopted by the European Union on the date these consolidated financial statements were established and which were mandatory at that date.
The interim consolidated financial information as of March 31, 2025 must be read in connection with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended on December 31, 2024. They have been established in accordance with the accounting principles used by the Group for the consolidated financial statements 2024, except for standards and interpretations adopted by the European Union applicable as from January 1, 2025.
IFRS amendments or standards that are mandatory as from January 1, 2025 are considered as not applicable or as having no material impact on the Air France - KLM Group's financial statements
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025 were reviewed by the Board of Directors on April 29, 2025.
The segment information is prepared on the basis of internal management data communicated to the Executive Committee, the Group's principal operational decision-making body.
The Group is organized around the following segments:
The results of the business segments are those that are either directly attributable or that can be allocated on a reasonable basis to these business segments. Amounts allocated to business segments mainly correspond to the EBITDA, current operating income and to the income from operating activities. Other elements of the income statement are presented in the "non-allocated" column.
Inter-segment transactions are evaluated based on normal market conditions.
Group Traffic sales by destination are broken down into seven geographical areas:

As a reminder, following the repayment of € 452 million of OCEANE bonds on 25 March 2024, the number of potential dilutive shares linked to the outstanding OCEANE 2026 has therefore been decreased from 4,966,518 shares to 472,580 shares.
The remaining €48 million of bonds due March 25, 2026 have been repaid in cash on May, 10, 2024 under the conditions set out in the Term and Conditions of the said OCEANE 2026 for cancellation in accordance with the applicable law. These remaining bonds were repaid in advance. This residual redemption amount is equivalent of 2,654,941 of bonds.
There is therefore no outstanding OCEANE 2026 bonds.
The number of potential dilutive shares linked to the subordinated perpetual convertible bonds, convertible into new shares and/or exchangeable into existing shares is 19,996,070 shares.
The potential conversion of these two instruments and their impact on earnings have, nonetheless, not been taken into consideration as of March, 31, 2025 (As on March, 31, 2024) to determine diluted earning per share. Indeed, this would have had the effect of increasing the earning per share.
As of March, 31 2025, taking into account the above items, the basic earnings per share amounts to €(1.16) and the diluted earnings per share amounts to €(1.16).
