2024 Full Year results

Certain statements included in this announcement are forward-looking. These statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate only to historical or current facts. By their nature, they involve risk and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements often use words such as "expects", "believes", "may", "will", "could", "should", "continues", "intends", "plans", "targets", "predicts", "estimates" "envisages" or "anticipates" or other words of similar meaning or their negatives. They include, without limitation, any and all projections relating to the results of operations and financial conditions of International Consolidated Airlines Group, S.A. and its subsidiary undertakings from time to time (the 'Group'), as well as plans and objectives for future operations, expected future revenues, financing plans, expected expenditure, acquisitions and divestments relating to the Group and discussions of the Group's business plans, and its assumptions, expectations, objectives and resilience with respect to climate scenarios. All forward-looking statements in this announcement are based upon information known to the Group on the date of this announcement and speak as of the date of this announcement. Other than in accordance with its legal or regulatory obligations, the Group does not undertake to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect any changes in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.
Actual results may differ from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements in this announcement as a result of any number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, including, but not limited to, economic and geo-political, market, regulatory, climate, supply chain or other significant external events, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond the control of the Group, and it is not reasonably possible to itemise each item. Accordingly, readers of this announcement are cautioned against relying on forward-looking statements. Further information on the primary risks of the business and the Group's risk management process is set out in the Risk management and principal risk factors section in the Annual report and accounts 2023; this document is available on www.iairgroup.com. All forward-looking statements made on or after the date of this announcement and attributable to IAG are expressly qualified in their entirety by the primary risks set out in that section.
This announcement contains, in addition to the financial information prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ('IFRS') and derived from the Group's financial statements, alternative performance measures ('APMs') as defined in the Guidelines on alternative performance measures issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) on 5 October 2015. The performance and outcome of the Group's strategy is assessed using a number of APMs. These measures are not defined under IFRS, should be considered in addition to IFRS measurements, may differ to definitions given by regulatory bodies relevant to the Group and may differ to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
For definitions and explanations of APMs, refer to the APMs section in the most recent published financial report and in the IAG Annual report and accounts 2023. These documents are available on www.iairgroup.com.
For definitions and explanations of APMs, refer to the APMs section in the IAG Annual Report and Accounts 2023 (iairgroup.com) and the Interim Management Report for the year to 31 December 2024 (IAG FY 2024 Results (iairgroup.com)). These documents are available on www.iairgroup.com

* The Group recorded exceptional items relating to employee restructuring in Iberia's ground handling subsidiary.
** On 1 August 2024 the Group exercised its right to withdraw from the acquisition of the remaining 80% of the share capital of Air Europa Holdings that the Group had not previously owned. The exceptional charge of €50 million represents the amount agreed with Globalia to terminate the agreement. The related tax credit was €5 million.
*** In 2024 the Group was impacted by changes in tax legislation in Spain, principally related to the pace at which prior year losses could be recognised, resulting in a net exceptional tax credit of €100 million in 2024. See note 10 to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
