AI Summary
Q2 2026

Revenue Growth: Virgin Australia reported a 9.3% increase in revenue for the first half, reflecting strong demand and successful revenue transformation initiatives.

Profitability: Underlying EBIT rose 11.7% to $490 million, with EBIT margin expanding to 14.8%, up 40 basis points, despite inflation and higher costs.

Balance Sheet: Leverage reduced to 0.9x net debt to EBITDA, providing flexibility for future investments and potential shareholder distributions.

Guidance Raised: Second half EBIT and margins are expected to be higher than the previous year, driven by forecasted RASK growth of 3–4% and disciplined ASK capacity increases.

Cost Pressures: Non-fuel costs, especially airport charges and maintenance, increased, but transformation benefits and lower fuel costs helped offset these headwinds.

Velocity Loyalty: The loyalty program achieved record EBIT and margin (over 30%), with active members up 11%, external billings up 19%, and continued investment planned for further growth.

Transformation Program: Over $200 million in transformation benefits were delivered in the half, on track to exceed $400 million for FY '26, with ongoing focus on both cost and revenue initiatives.

Fleet Strategy: Virgin Australia will purchase 9 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, reducing lease exposure and supporting margin improvement and operational flexibility.
