Company History

 

Subject is the largest charter aviation company in India. Their principal activity is to provide commercial passenger airline and private helicopter and airplane chartering services in India. Their business unit Air Deccan, is India's low cost carrier. Kingfisher Airlines Limited was incorporated in June 15, 1995 as a private limited company with the name Deccan Aviation. The company was promoted by G R Gobinath, K J Samuel and Vishnu Singh Rawal. In January 2005, the company was converted into a public limited company. In September 1997, the company opened their first base at Jakkur and launched their first Helicopter. In June 1998, they opened their second base in Hyderabad and in December 1998, they commenced offshore flying operations. In June 2001, the company introduced first fixed wing aircraft and in November, they introduced the second fixed wing aircraft. In August 2003, first Air Deccan flights take place on Bangalore to Hubli and Bangalore to Mangalore. In December 2003, the company incorporated Deccan Aviation (Lanka) Private Limited, which is a joint venture company. The company was established as a 52% subsidiary company to undertake helicopter services and airline operations in Sri Lanka. In August 2004, they introduced first Airbus A 320. In March 2005, Air Deccan, entered into tie up arrangement with Club HP. In June 27, 2005, Deccan Aviation (Lanka) Private Limited ceased to be a subsidiary consequent to the transfer of 4% of their share to Srilanka nationals. In March 2007, they forayed into Air Cargo Business through a wholly owned subsidiary. The company hived off Charter Services into a separate entity and also transfers the Maintenance and Repair Facility into a separate entity. The Airline business of Kingfisher Airlines Limited merged with the company with effect from April 1, 2008 and the name of the company was changed to Subject.

 

Scheduled Airline Operations

 

The Company is the largest player in the Indian domestic aviation sector and during the year had the widest reach covering more destinations and carrying more passengers than any other domestic carrier.

 

During the year, the Company had a domestic market share of 22.9% and carried more than 11 million passengers across both domestic and international sectors, with a year ending overall fleet of 68 aircraft, having an average schedule of 366 domestic and 12 international flights daily and a route network (as on March 2010) covering 63 domestic and 7 international destinations.

 

Whilst the Company's operation has been reflective of the shift in capacity to the low fare model in line with economic environment, the Company continues to offer the following world class services:

 

• Kingfisher First - Premium Business class of service

• Kingfisher Class - Premium Economy class of service

• Kingfisher Red - Low fare class of service comparable to the Economy class of service in other full fare airlines

 

During the year, the Company returned 5 Airbus A320 aircraft, 4 ATR-42 aircraft and 1 ATR-72 aircraft consequent upon the route rationalization program initiated with a view to maximize operational synergies and cost savings. This resulted in a 17% (2.953 million seats) drop in capacity deployed over FY 2009. Despite the drop in capacity by 17% the Company's passenger count decreased by only 2%.

 

During the year, the Company undertook a gradual expansion in its international operations through introduction of new wide body routes to Hong Kong, Singapore and narrow body routes to Dubai, Bangkok and Dhaka. The Company also achieved the highest market share on the Mumbai-Singapore and Mumbai-Hong Kong sector in less than one year of launch of these sectors.

 

Major initiatives were undertaken during the year in respect of distribution costs, fuel management system, aircraft utilization and general contracts in order to enforce cost competitiveness.

 

To enhance the Company's consumer connect, the Company also undertook various marketing and commercial initiatives including tie-ups with corporate houses to get premium business and launched campaigns like the "One stop Connect" to leverage and promote the Company's network. During the year, the Company won coveted world airline awards including "Five Star" from Skytrax. The Company is one of just six airlines worldwide to belong to the top tier Five Star airline ranking and continues to be India's only Five Star Airline rated by Skytrax for three years in a row.

 

Outlook

 

The Company is India's single largest domestic carrier by passengers flown and cities served. Despite aggressive capacity reduction in the year , the Company has continued to enjoy leadership whilst having a wide network in India covering more than 90% of the addressable passenger base.

 

The country's economy is showing signs of recovery with GDP growth estimates climbing back to over 8%. Passenger traffic is buoyant in current year backed by improvements in the macro-economic environment and revival in most industry sectors. The domestic seat capacity is expected to expand lower than the growth in demand enabling improved load factors for the aviation industry. Intact the Company has achieved seat factors in excess of 75% in the current year. The Company's international operations are fast moving towards stabilization. To further improve consumer connect various marketing initiatives including enhanced customer loyalty programs have been undertaken by the Company.

 

The Company is set to join one world, the world's leading quality airline alliance, bringing together 11 of the world's biggest and best names, in the airline industry such as American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Iberia, Japan Airlines, LAN, Malev, Mexicana, Qantas and Royal Jordanian.

 

The Company is optimistic of improved performance in the current year, primarily driven by growth in premium traffic and significant reduction in costs.

 

Capital

 

During the year , the Company's Authorised Share Capital was increased from Rs.5000.000 millions to Rs.10000.000 millions comprising of 900.000 millions Equity Shares of Rs.10/- each and 10.000 millions Preference Shares of Rs.100/- each. 

 

The Issued, Subscribed and Paid-up Equity Share Capital of the Company remained unchanged at Rs. 3629.089 millions divided into 265,908,883 Equity Shares of Rs.10/- each and 9,700,000 6% Redeemable Non-Cumulative Preference Shares of Rs. 100/- each.

 

Management Discussion and Analysis Report

 

Industry structure and developments

 

a. Inspite of the ongoing turmoil in Europe which can upset the growth momentum, India's GDP numbers portray a comforting picture. Central Statistics Office (CSO) released the GDP estimate for Q4 2009-10 and FY 2009-10. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for Jan-Mar 2010 quarter was at 8.6% (year on year) and for FY 2009-10 at 7.4%.

While the government's share in GDP growth has declined, private sector investment has picked up. The economy looks on course to achieve 9% growth rate. Most think-tanks and institutions have put Indian growth for 2010-11 at 8.5% plus.

 

b. The global airline industry is now recovering from the woes of 2008-09. Second half of 2009 had passenger traffic and yields (passenger ticket revenue) both bouncing up, promising a better future for the airline industry globally.

 

c. International Air Transport Association, which represents 230 airlines carrying 93 percent of international traffic, estimates that jet fuel will represent 26 percent of operating costs in 2010, up from 23 percent in 2009. Brent crude oil will average $79 a barrel, it estimates.

 

Industry Operating .Environment

 

a. As per the International Air Transport Association (June 7, 2010), the global airline industry will post a $2.5 billion profit in 2010, reversing two years of losses, scrapping an estimate for a $2.8 billion deficit as the economy rebounds. The profit would be the industries first since 2007 and only the third in a decade after previous results were afflicted by recession, terrorist attacks, epidemics and wars. Europe is the only region still forecast to lose money in 2010. Despite the general recovery, European airlines will lose about $2.8 billion in 2010, IATA says, $600 million more than the March estimate after the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjallajokull volcano on April 14 closed airspace for six days and grounded 100,000 flights. The event cost the industry $1.8 billion, with $1.26 billion of those losses in Europe.

 

b. Prospects for Indian carriers have improved in the past few months as economic growth in Asia and the U.S. has boosted demand for travel and capacity cuts imposed last year has bolstered ticket prices.

 

c. Passenger traffic for the Indian Aviation Industry increased 16% in the year  as compared to the year ending March 2009 and seat factors were upwards of 74% for Jan-Mar'10 quarter owing to the right alignment of capacity with the demand.

 

d. Yields have trended upwards in the year  recovering from the lows early in the year. However, fuel prices have steadily risen through the year and ended 32% higher than prices at beginning of the year.

NOTE:

 

1. The Segmental results for the quarter ended June 30. 2009 is not shown, as it was not required for the Company to publish the same.

2. The Assets and Liabilities of the company is not identifiable to the reportable segments. Hence no disclosure relating to total segment Assets and Liabilities. (Capital employed) are made.

 

Notes:

 

1) The above financial results which have been subjected to a limited review by the Statutory Auditors of the Company have been reviewed by the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors has approved the said financial results at its meeting held on July 22, 2010.

 

2) 2 investor complaints were received and disposed off during the quarter ended June 30, 2010. There were no investor complaints outstanding at the beginning or at the end of the quarter.

 

3) The Board of Directors of the Company is yet to finalize the Employees Stock Option Plan in respect of the employees transferred to the Company pursuant to the demerger and transfer of the Commercial Airline Division Undertaking of the erstwhile Kingfisher Airlines Limited into the Company.

4) Deferred Tax Asset is recognized on account of unabsorbed depreciation and business losses for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 aggregating to Rs.765.219 millions. The management is of the opinion that there is a virtual certainty supported by convincing evidence against which such deferred tax will be realized.

 

5) The Company has adopted the Exposure Draft on Accounting Standard - 10 (Revised) Tangible Fixed Assets' which allows costs on major repairs and maintenance incurred to be amortized over the incremental life of the asset. The Company has extended the same treatment to costs incurred on major repairs and maintenance for engines pertaining to aircrafts acquired on operating lease. Had the Company not adopted this method of accounting, the loss and after before tax for the year would have been higher by Rs.93.317 millions and Rs.62.319 millions respectively.

 

This revised accounting policy has been confirmed by an independent expert and in the opinion of the management, this accounting treatment has resulted in a fair depiction of the working results and the state of the affairs of the Company.

 

6) The financial statements of the Company have been prepared on a "going concern" basis, (despite the Company having incurred substantial losses and its net worth having been eroded) having regards to the Company registering profit (before interest and exceptional items) for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, improved economic sentiments, growth in demand, efficiency improvements, planned cost reductions and the proposals made by the Company to the banks for debt recast, UB Group support, capital raising plans, etc.

KFA reports an EBITDA profit of 127 Cr with a significant improvement in overall operations.

 

Mumbai, Tuesday, 22 July 2010: The Aviation Industry has experienced a strong resurgence of domestic demand in Apr-Jun ’10. Kingfisher has capitalized on this growth and has seen a 12 percentage points increase in load factors to 81% from 69%, and a 5% improvement in yields over the same quarter last year.

The increase in loads and yields, coupled with several cost reduction initiatives has led Kingfisher to generate a substantial operating profit of Rs.1270.000 millions which is an improvement of Rs.1980.000 millions over Apr-Jun’09.


The loss after tax for the year has reduced by Rs.500 millions (Rs.1870 millions vs. Rs.2370 millions in the previous year).

 

This performance has been delivered despite an extraordinary cost impact of more than Rs.350 millions due to the uncontrollable grounding of aircraft.

 

 Q1 FY11 Performance

 

On an overall basis, the Company has incurred an EBITDA profit of Rs.1270.000 millions in Q1 FY 11 vs. a loss of Rs.710 millions during the same period of the previous year – an improvement of Rs.1980 millions.

 

The Company posted a positive 22% EBITDAR margin of Rs.3670.000 millions as against a profit of Rs.2260 millions in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year- an improvement of Rs.1410.000 millions.

 

EBITDA profit of Rs.1770.000 millions (despite accounting for Rs.350.000 millions costs of grounded aircrafts) for its domestic operations, compared to a profit of Rs.760.000 millions in the same period of the previous year - an improvement of Rs.100.000 millions. The domestic EBITDA margin also improved from 6% to 13%

 

This performance was despite intense competition and a 14% reduction in KFA capacity in terms of seats offered.

 

Kingfisher Airlines continues to remain “India’s favorite airline” and the only five star rated airline in India (as per Skytrax) and the single largest carrier in the domestic industry with a market share of 21.1% in Q1 FY 2011.
