Third quarter 2022 financial report
Norwegian today reported its results for the third quarter of 2022. The figures demonstrate Norwegian's ability to deliver robust financial results and strong operations in the busy travel season. Amidst capacity constraints across European airports, close to all scheduled flights were operated, bringing customers to long-awaited summer destinations.
Operating profit (EBIT) in the third quarter amounted to NOK 1,032 million, impacted positively by historic high unit revenue for the company, but negatively by the high fuel price and strong USD this quarter. Profit before tax (EBT) amounted to NOK 910 million. Continued liquidity discipline led the company to improve its cash position to NOK 8.2 billion. At quarter-end, Norwegian's fleet comprised 69 aircraft.
Many customers have longed to travel to Norwegian's holiday destinations, creating strong pent-up demand for the peak summer travel season and the third quarter as a whole. The load factor in July was close to 95 percent, the highest in many years, while the quarterly unit revenue reached a historic high. Norwegian had over 6 million passengers in the third quarter, and despite record-high congestions and industry challenges across European airports, nearly all scheduled flights were operated.
"This quarter has demonstrated our position as the reliable Nordic option for customers travelling to their holidays, to visit friends and family, or for business purposes. Many corporate customers choose to fly with Norwegian, and the number of business travellers is now on par with pre-pandemic levels for our most frequented domestic business routes. Demand is expected to soften as we enter the winter trading period, but Norwegian is well prepared for this through flexible fleet arrangements, rigorous route planning and sound collaboration with our colleagues and unions," said Geir Karlsen, CEO of Norwegian.
The co-operation agreement between Norwegian and Widerøe was finalised in September and will provide business and leisure travellers with additional choice and flexibility. Under this agreement, the two companies will co-operate on key strategic initiatives including ticket sales, enabling passengers to travel seamlessly across the entire route network of both airlines.
On 1 September, Norwegian celebrated its 20-year anniversary. The first Boeing 737 took off in 2002, marking the start of affordable flying in Norway. Since then, Norwegian has expanded to new geographies, carried more than 300 million passengers, and received more than 60 awards and recognitions. This quarter, Skytrax named Norwegian the 'Best Low-Cost Airline in Northern Europe'.
In the third quarter of 2022, Norwegian had 6.1 million passengers, up from 2.5 million in the third quarter of 2021 and 5.0 million passengers in the previous quarter. Production (ASK) was 8.9 billion, while passenger traffic (RPK) was 7.9 billion. The load factor increased to 88.8 percent, up from 73.1 percent in the same period last year and 81.2 percent in the previous quarter.
Punctuality continued to be heavily impacted by capacity constraints at European airports but showed signs of improvement towards the end of the quarter. Share of flights departing on schedule was 73.6 percent, compared to 91.0 in the same period last year and 78.8 percent in the previous quarter. Regularity, share of flights taking place, was however unchanged from the previous quarter at 99.4 percent.
With its strong operational performance, the acclaimed loyalty program 'Norwegian Reward', and not least a growing and attractive route network appreciated by the customers, Norwegian is ready to further strengthen its position as a leading Nordic airline. "While demand for air travel may be impacted by the current high inflation and increasing interest rates, booking trends remain encouraging with an increasing number of passengers choosing to fly with Norwegian", said Karlsen.
For the upcoming winter months, Norwegian will utilise the fleet flexibility made possible through power-by-the-hour agreements by reducing capacity by approximately 25 percent. For the summer of 2023, Norwegian plans for a fleet increasing to 85 aircraft. The summer schedule was recently released with an improved offering to popular city and beach destinations across Europe.

At the end of the third quarter of 2022, equity amounted to NOK 4,859 million, corresponding to an equity ratio of 19.6 percent. Compared to the previous quarter, the equity ratio increased by 4.4 percentage points, predominately a result of positive result after tax this quarter.

Norwegian is exposed to several risk factors such as market risk, operational risk, financial risk and liquidity risk. Future demand is dependent on sustained consumer and business confidence in key markets. Demand for airline travel is subject to strong seasonal variations. The effects of the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic on the airline industry have dissipated, but adverse development in infections and travel restrictions going forward may impact the company's operations.
The current macroeconomic environment is uncertain with elevated energy and fuel prices, inflationary pressure, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, the ongoing war in Ukraine, as well as the potential impacts of disruptions in the global supply chain. Such factors may have a significant impact on Norwegian's business and financial result.
In the event of industrial actions, operations may be affected, causing disruptions for customers and affect the company's financial performance.
For additional explanations regarding risks and uncertainties, please refer to the following sections in the company's Annual Report 2021: The Financial Risk and Risk Management section and the Going Concern section of the Board of Director's report, Note 2: Financial Risk and Note 26: Contingencies and Legal Claims. Note 10 in this interim report includes updates to contingencies and legal claims.
Norwegian currently has a fleet of 70 aircraft. High fuel prices and a strong USD is expected to have a partly negative impact on the company's result for 2022.
For the summer season of 2023, the company is adding an additional 15 aircraft to match the expected increase in demand for air travel with Norwegian. In addition to scale effects, the company will benefit from a strong focus on cost and efficiency. The summer 2023 schedule was recently released with an improved offering to popular destinations across Europe. For 2023 as a whole, the company is targeting a production (ASK) of 35,000 million seat kilometres, up from a projected 27,500 million for 2022, and a reduction in unit cost excluding fuel.
Consumer demand for air travel may be impacted by recent high inflation and increasing interest rates. However, current booking trends are encouraging, although visibility is low with many customers booking travels close to date of departure. For the upcoming winter season, the company has flexibility by power-bythe-hour (PBH) lease agreements on close to 30 percent of its fleet. This allows the company to optimise capacity to seasonal fluctuations in demand. Compared to the end of the third quarter of 2022, the company is projecting a capacity reduction of approximately 25 percent for the coming months.
With strong brand loyalty, a solid organisation and robust financial situation, Norwegian is well positioned to tackle short-term fluctuations in demand and to benefit from long-term expected improvements across key markets.

The Executive Management team reviews the company's internal reporting to assess performance and allocate resources. Executive Management has determined the operating segment on these reports.
Executive Management considers the business as one operational segment, which is low-cost air passenger travel. The company's operating profit arises from airline-related activities and the only revenue generating asset of the company is its aircraft fleet, which is employed flexibly across the entire operation and irrespective of geographic location.
Performance is measured by Executive Management based on the operating segment's earnings before interest, tax, aircraft lease, depreciation and amortization (EBITDAR). Other information is measured in a manner consistent with that in the financial statements.

In March 2017 and June 2018, the Norwegian Tax Authorities made a reassessment pertaining to an EEC cross-border restructuring that took place in 2013 and 2014. The restructuring was carried out under the rules of contingent tax-free group reorganisations. The disputed question is if the rules on contingent tax-free group reorganisation, as they applied in 2013 and 2014, are contrary to EU law. The case was heard by the Oslo Municipality court 12-20 April 2021 and the court issued a ruling dated 21 May 2021 in favour of the tax authorities. Norwegian and its tax advisor are of the opinion that the ruling is without merit, thus the ruling is appealed, and was heard in the Court of Appeal 22-26 August 2022. The Court's decision is anticipated to be handed down by the end of October 2022. The maximum total potential cost increase would be NOK 650 million. As a consequence of the Reconstruction, the amount is crammed down to NOK 32.9 million, and the company has prepaid for this amount.
On 21 September 2021, the Norwegian Environment Agency (Nw.: Miljødirektoratet) concluded in an administrative ruling that the cram down of claims in the Examinership and Reconstruction does not apply to the company's obligation to surrender emission allowances under EU ETS (see Section 9.6.2 "Environmental regulations") for emissions predating 18 November 2020. The contemplated market value of such allowances was approximately NOK 300 million at year-end. The Reconstructor determined that
There have been no material events subsequent to the reporting period that might have a significant effect on the financial report for the third quarter of 2022.
the Restructuring applies to the company's obligation to surrender emission allowances because a different view would have given preference to the EU ETS regime which the current insolvency legislation does not facilitate. Therefore, the company was unable to comply with the Norwegian Environment Agency's demand of the company surrendering emissions allowances. The lack of compliance has caused the Norwegian Environment Agency to impose a fine of NOK 400 million on the company. The company filed a complaint on 25 October 2021 and on 4 February 2022 the Norwegian Environment Agency sent the complaint to the Ministry of Climate and Environment. The company, supported by its advisors and the Reconstructor, are of the view that such fine either is invalid as the company is incapable of complying with the EU ETS regime or–if at all valid –will be subject the cram-down introduced in the Restructuring. The company has appealed the administrative ruling and expects the appeal to probably be effective and has therefore not made a provision for the fine. As a consequence of the Reconstruction, the amount corresponding to the contemplated market value of such allowances was crammed down and the company has made a provision of NOK 15 million at year end.
There are no other significant additions or changes to the information regarding contingencies or legal claims presented in Note 26 to the Annual Financial Statements for 2021.
