NOTE 2 SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

2.1 Significant events occurring during the period

Measures to strengthen operational and financial position at KLM

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.

Strengthening of commercial partnership with WestJet and acquisition of minority equity stakes

Delta Air Lines and Korean Air (joint venture partners of Air France-KLM) will strengthen their respective partnerships with WestJet through the purchase of minority equity stakes in the Canadian airline from Onex Partners

Under the agreements, Delta and Korean will acquire independent equity stakes totaling 25% in WestJet. Delta will be investing US\$330 million and acquiring a 15% stake, and Korean will invest US\$220 million in exchange for a 10% stake.

Upon closing, Delta has the right and intent to sell and transfer a 2.3% stake in WestJet to its Joint Venture partner Air France-KLM, also an existing WestJet partner, in exchange for US\$50 million.

This separate transaction would remain subject to certain approvals, so this event does not have an impact on the financial statements as June, 30 2025

Issue of €500 million of hybrid bonds

Air France-KLM has placed €500 million of hybrid bonds on 15 May 2025, with a fixed annual coupon of 5.75% (yield of 5.875%) until the first reset date.

They are recognised as equity in the consolidated financial statements (see Note 18.2 "Perpetual subordinated notes").

transportation (Transavia) and other air-transport-related activities.

The limited company Air France-KLM, domiciled at 7, rue du cirque 75008 Paris – France, is the parent company of the Air France-KLM Group. Air France-KLM is listed for trading in Paris (Euronext) and Amsterdam (Euronext).

The presentation currency used in the Group's financial statements is the Euro, which is also Air France-KLM's functional currency.

Extension of revolving credit facilities ("RCF") linked to ESG KPIs

Air France-KLM and Air France:

Air France-KLM and Air France, combined borrowers, signed in April 2023 a €1.2 billion Sustainability-Linked RCF. This facility included an accordion increase option executed during the first quarter of 2024 for an amount of €90 million bringing the amount available to around €1.3 billion.

The RCF also had an initial maturity in 2026 and two oneyear extension options. In April 2024, Air France and Air France-KLM executed the extension option for one year, extending to a 2027 maturity.

Finally and as of July 18, 2024 a new amendment had been signed for Air France-KLM and Air France credit facility involving:

  • an extension of the maturity to July 2028 associated with a one-year extension option;
  • an increase of the facility from €1,290 million to €1,405 million.

This last extension option was exercised in June 2025, bringing the maturity date to 2029.

KLM:

In April 2023, KLM signed a €1.0 billion RCF including ESG Key Performance Indicators. This RCF had an initial 2027 maturity and included two one-year extension options. In April 2024, a first one-year extension option has been executed extending to a 2028 maturity. In April 2025, the second extension option has been executed extending to a 2029 maturity.

Notification of the redemption of the 2022 super-subordinated notes for a total amount of €497 million

On 20 June, Air France irrevocably notified Apollo Company of the redemption of €497 million of the 2022 super-subordinated notes on 28, July 2025.

Consequently the notes have been reclassified from Equity attributable to non-controlling interests to current financial liabilities as of June 30, 2025 for a total amount of €524 million (the nominal for €497 million and the accrued interests for €27 million). Please refer to Notes 18.2 "Perpetual" and 21 "Financial liabilities".

2.2 Subsequent events

Process for acquiring a majority stake in SAS

Air France KLM Group will initiate proceedings to take a majority stake in SAS. The Group currently holds a 19,9% stake in the Scandinavian carrier and since the summer of 2024, it has implemented a commercial cooperation between SAS, Air France and KLM in the form of extended codeshare and interline agreements, further strengthened by SAS joining the SkyTeam alliance.

Provided all the necessary conditions are met, Air France-KLM would fully acquire the stakes held by Castlelake and Lind Invest, bringing its own stake to 60.5%. The Danish State would retain its 26.4% stake in SAS and its seats on the Board of Directors.

Subject to the obtaining of all the necessary regulatory clearances and satisfaction of all conditions precedents, the ambition is to close in the second half of 2026.

The acquisition of this majority stake would give Air France-KLM control of SAS, which would become a subsidiary of the Air France-KLM Group. The Group would hold the majority of seats on the airline's Board of Directors.

Air France-KLM and SAS remain for now commercial competitors.

Changes in accounting principles

IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements

On April 9, 2025, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) published its new standard IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements" which aims to improve the usefulness of information disclosed in primary financial statements and notes, providing investors with more transparent and comparable information.

IFRS 18 replaces IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and amends other standards, principally IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows".

The main changes concern:

■ the improvement of the comparability of he income statement by introducing three distinct categories of income and expenses (operating, investing and financing) and imposing new subtotals including operating income;

■ the improvement of the transparency of performance indicators defined by management;

■ the introduction of rules and guidance on how to aggregate and disaggregate financial information both in the primary financial statements and in the notes.

IFRS 18 is effective as of January 1, 2027 with early adoption allow from January 1, 2026. However, IFRS 18 is not yet adopted by the European Union.

The Group is currently assessing the impacts of the new standard, notably on the structure of the income statement; the cash flow statement and the performance measures defined by management and communicated externally.

At this stage, the Group is monitoring other planned changes in accounting standards without expecting significant impacts.

NOTE 4 CHANGE IN THE CONSOLIDATION SCOPE

On February 1ᵉʳ, 2024, KLM sold its 100%-owned subsidiary KLM Equipment Services B.V. to TCR International N.V. (TCR).. No significant acquisitions took place in 2024.

No significant acquisitions or disposals took place during the period ended June 2025.

NOTE 5 INFORMATION BY ACTIVITY AND GEOGRAPHICAL AREA

Business segments (Note 5.1)

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:

  • Network: The revenues for this segment, which includes the Passenger and Cargo network, primarily come from passenger transportation services on scheduled flights with the Group's airline code (excluding Transavia), including flights operated by other airlines under code-share agreements. They also include code-share revenues, revenues from excess baggage and airport services supplied by the Group to third-party airlines and services linked to IT systems. Network revenues also include freight carried on flights operated under the codes of the airlines within the Group and flights operated by other partner airlines under code-share agreements. Other cargo revenues are derived principally from the sale of cargo capacity to third parties and the transportation of shipments on behalf of the Group by other airlines;
  • Maintenance: Maintenance operating revenues are generated through maintenance services provided to other airlines and customers worldwide;
  • Transavia: The revenues from this segment come from the "leisure" activity realized by Transavia;
  • Other: The revenues from this segment come from various services provided by the Group and not covered by the three segments mentioned above.

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 current 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.

NOTE 12 INCOME TAXES

The tax income or expense at Group level is as follows :

Total income tax income/(expense) (176) 119
Tax on items recognized in equity (1) (2) (15)

Income before tax of consolidated companies 588 (436)
Total income tax income/(expense) (176) 119
Effective tax rate (30) % (27) %

Effective tax rate as of June 30, 2025

The effective tax rate for Air France KLM Group is 30 % as of June 30, 2025 taking into account the exceptional contribution on the profits of large companies for the French tax Group involving a theoretical effective tax rate of 30.2 % in this jurisdiction. The theoretical effective tax rate for the Dutch tax group remains at 25.8%

OECD Pillar Two model rules

The Air France-KLM Group is subject to the OECD's Pillar 2 rules, following their transposition into French law and enaction for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. Under this legislation, the Group is required to pay an additional tax for the difference between its GloBE effective tax rate (TEI GloBE) in each jurisdiction and the minimum rate of 16% (for fiscal year 2025).

Temporary protection schemes have been introduced for a maximum of three financial years, enabling the rules to be deferred. These schemes consist of simplified tests against the Pillar Two rules, calculated by jurisdiction and at the end of each financial year.

As of December 31, 2024 the Group considered that it could benefited from the temporary protection schemes in almost all the jurisdictions in which it operates, except for France mainly due to recognition/derecognition of deferred taxes and in non- significant jurisdictions, which must therefore carry out a full calculation of TEI GloBE in accordance with the law in force and the available OECD recommendations.

The full calculation of the TEI GloBE for the French jurisdiction exceeded the minimum rate of 15%. Consequently, no additional tax expense had been recorded at December 31, 2024.

The Group has not identified any trigger that would reconsider the calculations made as of December 31, 2024 and does not anticipate any additional tax expense to be recognized for fiscal year 2025.

Consequently, the effective tax rate forecasted for full year 2025 is not affected by Pillar 2 legislation as of June 30, 2025.

Number of ordinary and potential ordinary shares used to calculate
diluted earnings per share
282,608,392 285,053,877

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 Terms 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 2,654,942 of bonds.

There is therefore no outstanding OCEANE 2026 bonds as of June 30, 2024.

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 as of June, 30 2025.

The potential conversion of these two instruments and their impact on earnings have been taken into consideration to determine diluted earning per share as of June 30, 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, taking into account the above items, the basic earnings per share amounts to €1.09 and the diluted earnings per share amounts to €1.04.

20.1.1 Return obligation liability and provision on leased aircraft

The discount rate used to calculate these restitution liabilities and provisions is 6.8% as of June 30, 2025 against 7.3 % as of June 30, 2024 (see Note 11 "Net cost of financial debt and other financial income and expenses").

20.1.2 Restructuring provisions

The movements in restructuring provisions with a significant impact on the income statement are booked in "Other non-current income and expenses" (see Note 10 "Sales of aircraft equipment and other non-current income and expenses").

20.1.3 Litigation

In the normal course of its activities, the Air France-KLM Group, its subsidiaries Air France and KLM (and their subsidiaries) are involved in litigation cases, some of which may be significant.

An assessment of litigation risks with third parties has been carried out with the Group's attorneys and provisions have been recorded whenever circumstances require.

The provisions for disputes also include provisions for tax contingencies that are not covered by IAS 12. Such provisions are created when the Group estimates, in the context of tax audits, that the tax authorities may challenge a tax position taken by the Group or one of its subsidiaries

20.1.4 Litigation concerning anti-trust laws in the air-freight industry

Air France, KLM and Martinair, a wholly-owned subsidiary of KLM since January 1, 2009, have been involved, since February 2006, with up to twenty-five other airlines in investigations initiated by some antitrust authorities around the world, with respect to allegations of anticompetitive agreements or concerted actions in the air freight industry.

As of December 31, 2021, most of these investigations had been terminated following the entry into plea agreements between the three companies of the Group and the appropriate competition authorities, providing for the payment of settlement amounts or fines, with the exception of the proceeding initiated by the European Commission which is still pending.

In Europe, the decision of the European Commission of 2010 against eleven air cargo carriers, including the companies of the Group, Air France, KLM and Martinair, was annulled by the General Court of the European Union on December 16, 2015 because it contained a contradiction regarding the exact scope of the practices sanctioned. On March 17, 2017, the European Commission issued a new decision against the aforementioned cargo carriers, including Air France, KLM and Martinair. The total amount of fines imposed in respect of this decision at the Air France-KLM group level was €339 million. This amount was slightly reduced by €15.4 million as compared to the initial decision owing to a lower fine for Martinair due to technical reasons. On May 29 and 30, 2017, the Group companies filed an appeal against this decision before the General Court of the European Union. The hearings before the General Court took place on June and July 2019.

The decision from the General Court in March 2022 confirmed the fines against Air France-KLM group companies. The Group companies lodged appeals in June 2022 to the European Union Court of Justice and hearings were held before the European Court of Justice on April 18 and 19, 2024. Opinion of the Advocate General is expected on September 5 ,2024 and proposed to the Courtto dismiss the appeals. Final judgment of the European Court of Justice is expected to be issued in 2025. As of June 30, 2025, the Group has maintained a provision of €366 million covering the total amount of these fines (and including interests).

20.1.5 Case brought against KLM by (former) Martinair pilots

In 2015, a case was brought against KLM by 152 (former) Martinair airline pilots, hereafter called "Vrachtvliegers". In 2016 and 2018, the District Court and Court of Appeal ruled in favor of KLM and rejected all claims of plaintiffs. In November 2019, however, the Supreme Court ruled against KLM on the basis of lack of sufficient motivation and referred the case to another Court of appeal. On June 8, 2021, this Court of appeal rendered its judgment in favor of the plaintiffs, the former Martinair pilots, ruling that the transfer of the cargo department qualifies as a transfer of undertaking.

According to the ruling the rights and obligations under the employment contracts of 116 Martinair pilots automatically transfer to KLM as per January 1, 2014. The Court of Appeal rejected the plaintiffs' claim to also transfer the rights regarding seniority accrued at Martinair.

Vrachtvliegers filed complaints on August 8, 2021 at the Supreme Court claiming that the rights regarding seniority accrued at Martinair should transfer to KLM. On June 24, 2022, the General Attorney has given the advice to the Supreme Court that the complaints should be rejected. On January 20, 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that this claim is denied.

The pilots also started a new court case about the implementation by KLM of the "transfer of undertaking". The hearing took place on November 15, 2023. The Court rendered a decision on January 11, 2024, in which all claims have been declined except that seniority built up within Martinair should be respected in case of dismissal (which is in line with current law).

As of June 30, 2025 the provision amounted to €22 million (unchanged compared with December 31, 2024).

20.1.6 Other provisions

Other provisions relate principally to provisions for onerous contracts and provisions for the dismantling of buildings on non-freehold land.

20.2 Contingent liabilities

The Group is involved in governmental, judicial and arbitration procedures for which in some cases provisions have not been recorded in the financial statements in accordance with the applicable accounting rules.

Indeed, at this stage in these procedures, the Group is not in a position to give a reliable financial estimate of the potential loss that could be incurred in connection with these disputes.

Moreover, the Group believes that any additional disclosed information could be harmful to legal position procedures.

20.2.1 Litigations concerning anti-trust laws in the air-freight industry

Following the initiation of various investigations by the competition authorities in February 2006 and the European Commission decision in 2010, several collective and individual actions were brought by forwarders and air-freight shippers in the civil courts against Air France, KLM and Martinair, and other cargo operators, in a number of civil jurisdictions.

Under these civil lawsuits, shippers and freight forwarders are claiming for damages to compensate alleged higher prices due to alleged competition law infringement.

For Air France, KLM and Martinair, certain civil claims are still pending in the Netherlands and in Norway. The Group companies and the other airlines involved in these lawsuits continue to vigorously oppose these civil claims.

20.2.2 Other litigations

Rio-Paris AF447 flight

On March 28, 2011, Air France and Airbus were indicted for manslaughter of the 228 victims who died in the crash of the AF447 Rio-Paris flight on June 1, 2009.

The investigating judges of the Court of First Instance ruled in favor of Air France and Airbus by issuing an order dismissing the case on September 4, 2019.

The Public Prosecutor's Office and most of the civil parties (including the Pilots' associations and unions) appealed this decision. The Paris Court of Appeals ruled on May 12, 2021, referring Airbus and Air France to the Criminal Court. The criminal trial took place from October 10 to December 8, 2022 at Paris Criminal Court. After an acquittal by the Public Prosecutor's Office, the Court issued a judgment of acquittal on April 17, 2023, based on the absence of a causal link between the faults found and the accident. On April 27, 2023, the Public Prosecutor's Office appeals against the acquittal of Airbus and Air France.

The appeal will be held before the Paris Court of Appeal from September 29, 2025 until November 27,2025.

Litigations on State Aid

In 2020, the implementation of the measures to reinforce the Group's liquidity (i.e. (i) a loan guaranteed by the French State (PGE) in the amount of €4 billion and a €3 billion loan from the French State, as well as (ii) a revolving credit facility of €2.4 billion guaranteed by the Dutch State and a €1 billion loan from the Dutch State), were approved by the European Commission under the Covid-19 State Aid rules (decisions respectively of May 4, 2020 and July 13, 2020), this latter decision having been replaced, after annulment for failure to state reasons, by a decision dated July 16, 2021).

On April 6, 2021, the Group announced the first part of its overall recapitalization plan. Certain measures in this plan contained State Aid (so-called "Covid-19 recapitalization" program) which were accordingly notified by the French authorities to the European Commission, the latter approving them in its decision of April 5, 2021. This decision made the approval of the measures subject to a number of commitments undertaken by the French State and leading notably to the allocation by Air France of landing and take-off slots to a designated third-party carrier at Orly airport.

Like most of the decisions with respect to airlines receiving State Aid in the context of the Covid-19 crisis, the European Commission's decisions granting support measures to Air France and KLM have been subject to annulment proceedings brought by Ryanair. On December 20, 2023 and February 7, 2024, the General Court of the European Union annulled the decisions of the European Commission mentioned above. These annulments were made solely on the grounds of an incorrect determination of the beneficiary of these aids, which, according to the Tribunal, should have been the Group itself. Air France-KLM, Air France, KLM, and the European commission have lodged appeals for annulment before the Court of Justice of the European Union against the Tribunal's rulings. The Court of Justice of the European Union has yet to rule on these appeals.

Uncertainty remains as to the legal and financial consequences of cancelling the decisions approving state aid until a final ruling is obtained from the courts of the Union.

It shall be borne in mind that, in the course of 2022 and 2023 and pursuant to the applicable legal framework, the Group repaid in full the aforementioned Covid-19 liquidity and recapitalization State aid for, which were subject to the aforementioned commitments and constraints (commitments, behavioral measures, application of interest). As a result, the Air France-KLM holding company, Air France and KLM are therefore fully released from the aforementioned undertakings and constraints which had been linked to this Covid-19 recapitalization aid. The potential indirect consequences of the annulment of the approval of state aid (subject to the possible success of the aforementioned appeals) could include a request for the recovery of unreimbursed benefits by the French authorities, in some cases limited to illegality interest only.

The European Commission, re-approved on July 10, 2024, the Group's liquidity support measures in a single decision confirming their compatibility with Union law. This new decision has no impact on the aforementioned appeals. This decision was subject to a new action for annulment before the General Court of the European Union by Ryanair on April 14, 2025. Air France-KLM, Air France and KLM will intervene, alongside the French and Dutch governments, in support of the European Commission's defense.

Finally, as it has done in similar cases, the European Commission may also decide, if necessary, to initiate a formal examination procedure on the recapitalization measures, during which the Group will defend its interests to the best of its ability.

In January 2025, Air France-KLM was informed that Ryanair had filed an appeal before the Paris Administrative Court against the French State following the aforementioned annulment rulings of the General Court of the European Union. Ryanair's request seeks to compel the State to recover any advantage granted by the State that is alleged to have not yet been reimbursed, along with illegality interest. On July 3, 2025, Air France KLM and Air France joined as parties to defend this action with the French State. The proceedings are ongoing.

In April 2025, Air France-KLM was also informed of similar proceedings (initially administrative) brought by Ryanair against the Dutch authorities concerning the decision on aid granted to KLM in 2020. The proceedings are ongoing.

In view of the aforementioned new approval in July 2024, these appeals could give rise to the payment of (i) socalled "illegality interest" for the period between the granting of this aid and its new approval in July 2024 (the nominal amount of liquidity aid no longer being subject to any recovery). In respect of recapitalization measures, a recovery of an amount to be determined could be added to the amounts already reimbursed.

If the Court of Justice of the European Union were to annul the aforementioned rulings of the General Court of the European Union, Ryanair's appeal would become moot.

Except as indicated in 20.1 and 20.2, the Company is not aware of any litigation, governmental, legal or arbitration proceedings (including any proceedings of which the issuer is aware, which are pending or which it is threatened with) which may have or have recently had a material effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, assets or profitability, for a period covering at least the last twelve months.

For each facility, a set of ESG linked Key Performance Indicators are embedded in the financing cost. These indicators are in line with Air France-KLM and the two airlines' commitment to sustainable development and a gradual decarbonization of activities. The two RCF's include a financing cost margin adjustment mechanism (upward or downward) conditional to the independent achievement of these dedicated Indicators (reduction of the unit CO2 emission, increase of the share of Sustainable Aviation Fuel, among others).

In addition some financial covenants are applicable to theses Revolving Credit Facilities. As per June 30, 2025 these financial covenants are met.

The undrawn portion as of June 30, 2025 amounts to €2.5 billion for the Air France-KLM Group.

Air France-KLM and Air France

Air France-KLM and Air France as combined borrowers, signed a €1.2 billion Sustainability-Linked RCF. This facility included an accordion increase option executed during the first quarter of 2024 for an amount of €90 million bringing the amount available to around € 1.3 billion.

The RCF also had an initial maturity in 2026 and two oneyear extension options. In April 2024, Air France and Air France-KLM executed the extension option for one year, extending to a 2027 maturity.

On July 18, 2024, a new amendment has been signed for Air France-KLM and Air France credit facility involving an extension of the maturity to July 2028 associated with a one-year extension option and an increase of the facility from €1.3 to €1.4 billion.
