QF Half Year Profit Announced

About Qantas - Media Room - Media Releases

Some selected bits

* Statutory Net Profit Before Tax of $90 million
* Underlying Profit Before Tax (PBT)1 of $267 million
* Revenue of $6.9 billion
* Operating cashflow of $483 million
* Cash balance of $3.5 billion
* Statutory earnings per share of 2.6 cents
* No interim dividend

"Qantas uses Underlying PBT to assess the performance of the Group and its segments by matching all hedge derivative gains and losses in the same reporting period as the underlying exposures being hedged. In addition, Qantas removes the impact of non-recurring items to assess the underlying quality of returns.
"In the future, we will now provide any future guidance to Underlying PBT as it reflects the operational performance of the business that can be more accurately forecast."
