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 consolidated financial statements.
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 12 "Perpetual").
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:
This last extension option was exercised in June 2025, bringing the maturity date to 2029.
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.
On June 20, 2025, 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 had 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 corresponding to the nominal for €497 million and the accrued interests for €27 million.
The repayment was effective as of 28 July, 2025 for a total amount of €527 million (see Note 12 "Perpetual").
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.
Air France-KLM implemented as of August 1, 2025 a liquidity contract on its own ordinary shares with an initial term of 12 months and renewed automatically for successive 12-month periods.
The purpose of this agreement is for Rothschild Martin Maurel to act as a market maker for Air France-KLM shares on the regulated market of Euronext Paris to promote the liquidity of transactions and the regularity of the listing of Air France-KLM shares.
To implement this contract, €10 million have been allocated to the liquidity account.
Air France-KLM has placed €500 million of senior unsecured bonds on August 28, 2025, with a maturity of 5 years and a coupon of 3.75% (yield of 3.866%) under its EMTN program.
The cash inflow occurred on September 04, 2025 (see Note 13 "Financial Liabilities").
On October 15, Air France–KLM Group notified the holders of last-rank indefinite subordinated bond convertible into new shares and/or existing shares its intention to redeem all of the outstanding hybrid Bonds from the First Hard Call Date at a price per hybrid Bonds equal to par (€100,000) plus accrued interest of €1,625.
The payment will occur on Monday 24 November 2025 for a nominal value of 305 million euros to which will be added the interest accrued on the date of repayment (see Note 12 "Perpetual").
On October 22, 2025, Air France-KLM finalized the acquisition of a 2.3% stake in the capital of Canadian airline WestJet for a total amount of \$49 million. This transaction, initially announced on May 9, 2025, remained subject to certain approvals.
Air France-KLM purchased this stake from its joint venture partner Delta Air Lines, which acquired a minority stake of 15% in WestJet as part of a separate transaction also finalized on October 22 (which also included Korean Air's acquisition of a 10% stake in WestJet).
The stakes acquired by the three airlines thus represent a total of 25% of WestJet's capital (with 12.7% for Delta Air Lines, 10% for Korean Air, and 2.3% for Air France-KLM), sold by funds and co-investors affiliated with Onex Partners.
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 September 30, 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.
The condensed interim consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2025 were reviewed by the Board of Directors on November 5, 2025.
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:
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.
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 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.

| Income before tax of consolidated companies | 1,616 | 678 |

| Effective tax rate | 30 % | 27 % |
The effective tax rate for Air France KLM Group is 30 % as of September 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%
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 September 30, 2025.

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 September 30, 2025.
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 as of September 30, 2025.
The potential conversion of this instrument and the impact on earnings have been taken into consideration to determine diluted earning per share as of September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, taking into account the above items, the basic earnings per share amounts to €3.80 and the diluted earnings per share amounts to €3.56.

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 SAF, 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 September 30, 2025 amounts to €2.5 billion for the Air France-KLM Group.
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 €1.3 billion.
The RCF also had an initial maturity in 2026 and two oneyear extension options. In April 2024, one extension option has been executed, extending the maturity to 2027.
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.
On June 27, 2025, a new amendment has been signed for Air France-KLM and Air France credit facility involving an extension of the maturity to July 2029.
In 2023, KLM signed an ESG KPI-Linked Revolving Credit Facility for an amount of €1 billion.
This facility had an initial 2027 maturity and included two one-year extension options. In April 2025, a one-year extension option for one year was applied, extending the maturity to April 2029.
On top of this credit line, KLM has three other credit lines amounting to €0.1 billion.
