Notes

  1. Reporting entity

Icelandair Group hf. (the "Company") is a public limited liability company incorporated and domiciled in Iceland. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company as at and for the three months ended 31 March 2017 comprise the Company and its subsidiaries (together referred to as the "Group") and the Group's interests in associates. The Group primarily operates in the airline transportation and tourism industry. The Company is listed on the Nasdaq OMX Iceland.

The Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016 are available upon request from the Company's registered office at Reykjavíkurflugvöllur in Reykjavík, Iceland or at its website address, www.icelandairgroup.is and at The Icelandic Stock Exchange website, www.nasdaqomx.com.

  1. Basis of accounting

These interim financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. They do not include all the information required for a complete set of IFRS financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of the changes in the Group's financial position and performance since the last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016.

These interim financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors on 27 April 2017.

  1. Use of judgements and estimates

In preparing these interim financial statements, management has made judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The significant judgements made by management in applying the Group's accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2016.

a. Measurement of fair values

The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair values. The management has overall responsibility for overseeing all significant fair value measurements, including Level 3 fair values.

The management regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair values, then management assesses the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRS, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified. Significant valuation issues are reported to the Group Audit Committee.

When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses market observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

Level 3: inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability might be categorised in different levels of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement.

The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

Notes, contd.:

4. Operating segments

Segment information is presented in the consolidated financial statements in respect of the Group's business segments, which are the primary basis of segment reporting. The business segment reporting format reflects the Group's management and internal reporting structure and is divided into three segments; Route network, Tourism services and Shared services.

Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis.

Route network

The primary business strategy of the Route Network is to operate flights based on the Hub and Spoke concept between Europe and North America via Iceland, leveraging Iceland's geographical position. Icelandair's Hub and Spoke System is able to maximize flights to and from North America arriving in Iceland with easy connections to Scandinavia, the UK and Continental Europe. This successful strategy of combining passengers visiting and departing Iceland, with passengers travelling across the Atlantic (via Iceland) has allowed Icelandair to constantly grow and expand its route network over the last years.

Icelandair Cargo sells and markets the cargo space capacity of Icelandair's aircraft in the route network and in addition operates two dedicated freighters servicing the import and export market to and from Iceland. Loftleidir Icelandic leases and services aircraft to international clients. The aircraft is usually operated under the Icelandair Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and Icelandair Technical Services provides the maintenance service for Loftleidir's clients. Air Iceland is the regional airline that operates scheduled flights within Iceland and to Greenland and Scotland.

Tourism services

The focus of the tourist services business segment is on catering to the growing demand for universal tourist services in Iceland. The segment comprises a wide array of the tourism value chain offering a wide collection of hotel brands and a full service tour operator. Icelandair Hotels is the Company's hotel chain offering four hotel brands through different geographies in Iceland. Iceland Travel is the Company's tour operator and destination manager focusing on offering top quality services to individuals and companies alike.

Shared services

Shared services companies mainly provide services to other Group Companies and partly to third party. Services provided include accounting, HR, treasury and credit management, ground handling, cargo warehousing, insurance and legal services. Shared services also provides financing through internal treasury system and owned real estate is leased to Group Companies.

Geographic information

The geographic information analyses the Group's revenue as the majority of the Group's clients are outside of Iceland. Vast majority of the Group's non-current assets are located in Iceland. In presenting the following information the Group's revenues have been based on geographic location of customers:

2017 2016
1.1.-31.3. 1.1.-31.3.

North America 34% 27%
