Interim Financial Statement of Fly Play hf, September 30, 2021


Statement by the Board of Directors and the CEO

The Interim Financial Statements for the period 1 January to 30 September 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Statements Act and generally accepted accounting principles of Iceland and are in all main aspects based on the same accounting principles as for the previous year. The Interim Financial Statements are presented in US dollars, which is the Company's functional currency. The Interim Financial Statements have neither been audited nor reviewed by the Company's independent auditors. The Company will adopt and implement International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for the Financial Statements by the end of year 2021. No material changes in accounting principles are expected from this implementation, nor any material effect on the Company's financial position.

According to the Financial Statement total loss for the nine months period was USD 12.0 million. Equity at 30 September 2021 amounted to USD 77.0 million, including share capital in the amount of USD 5.6 million and share premium of USD 85.4 million. Reference is made to the Statement of Changes in Equity regarding the information on changes in equity.

PLAY holds a strong cash position with total liquidity of USD 42.0 million and cash and cash equivalent amounted to USD 62.7 million at 30 September 2021. This strong cash position enables PLAY to pursue business opportunities, follow through with its business plan and be prepared for turbulent market conditions.

PLAY took delivery of two additional Airbus A321neo in the third quarter of 2021. All three aircraft in operation are on favorable post-COVID market terms and a power-by-the-hour (PBH) arrangement for the first six months. In September, PLAY signed an agreement with GE Capital Aviation Services (GECAS) to lease three A320neo and one A321NX aircraft that will all join the fleet before the summer schedule 2023. The aircraft will be delivered to PLAY from August 2022 through February 2023 but will be in a storage program until joining the fleet in time for the summer schedule 2023.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and associated travel restrictions, continued to impact the global aviation industry, as well as PLAY's business, in Q3 2021. During the quarter, there were several positive changes to travel restrictions in Iceland and the countries served by PLAY in Europe. Booking trends have been less predictable than under normal circumstances, and changes to travel restrictions have created uncertainty for consumers. Although vaccination rates in the markets served by PLAY are increasing, the number of new confirmed COVID-19 cases is on the rise. Therefore, the uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic will remain for the foreseeable future. PLAY is well prepared to weather the uncertainty with flexible operations and a strong liquidity position.

The next months will see the expansion of PLAY's network as new destinations in Europe and North America get added and focus on preparations for the hub-and-spoke operations starting in spring 2022.

In December, PLAY will open a new office in Vilnius, Lithuania. PLAY's headquarters and current flight operations, including all flight and cabin crew, will remain in Iceland. PLAY is taking this step early in its growth stage and there will be no layoffs in Iceland related to the opening of the new office. The company will simply expand partially in the new location.

We hereby confirm that the Interim Financial Statements for the period from 1 January to 30 September 2021, to the best of our knowledge, have been prepared in accordance with the Financial Statements Act and generally accepted accounting principles of Iceland and that the information in the accounts gives a true and fair view of the Company's assets, liabilities, financial position, and overall results.

Further, in our opinion, the Interim Financial Statements and the Endorsement of the Board of Directors and the CEO give a fair view of the development and performance of PLAY's operations and its position and describes the principal risks and uncertainties faced by PLAY.

There were no other transactions with related parties other than shareholders during the year.

15. Other matters

In Q3, PLAY signed a Letter of Intent that secures two A320neo aircraft that will join the fleet before summer 2022. Lease agreements for these both aircraft have not been signed yet but are expected to be signed in Q4 2021.

PLAY also signed an agreement with GE Capital Aviation Services (now AerCap) to lease three A320neo and one A321NX aircraft to join the fleet before the summer schedule 2023. The estimated delivery for these aircraft is in end of year 2022 and beginning of 2023, then on commencement date the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities will be recognize according to IFRS 16.

The COVID-19 pandemic, and associated travel restrictions, continued to impact the global aviation industry, as well as PLAY's business, in Q3 2021. During the quarter, there were several positive changes to travel restrictions in Iceland and the countries served by PLAY in Europe. But in the middle of July, the number of COVID-19 cases in Iceland started to rise as the Delta variant spread. This rise in the number of COVID-19 cases had a negative impact on sales in July and August as the number of new sold seats started to decline, and passengers that already had booked their travel with PLAY took advantage of the flexible terms offered by PLAY and moved their trip to a later date, which transferred revenue and load in time. To respond to this negative demand trend, PLAY's management decided to adjust the schedule for September and continues to position the Company in line with ongoing market conditions and when demand will return to more normal levels.
