. 142^commercial aircraft delivered
. Revenues EUR 12.8 billion; EBIT Adjusted EUR 0.6 billion
. EBIT (reported) EUR 0.6 billion; EPS (reported) EUR 0.76
. Free cash flow before customer financing EUR -1.8 billion
. 2024 guidance unchanged

Airbus SE (stock exchange symbol: AIR) reported consolidated financial results for its First Quarter (Q1) ended 31
March 2024.

"We delivered first quarter 2024 results against the backdrop of an operating environment that shows no sign of
improvement. Geopolitical and supply chain tensions continue. In that context, we delivered 142 commercial aircraft,"
said Airbus CEO Guillaume Faury. "We started 2024 with a solid order intake across our businesses. The strong momentum
on widebody aircraft underpins our decision to increase the production rate for the A350 to 12 aircraft a month in
2028. Our ramp up plans are continuing, supported by the investments in our production system while relying on our core
pillars of safety, quality, integrity, compliance and security."

Gross commercial aircraft orders totalled 170 (Q1 2023: 156 aircraft) with the same number of net orders due to no
cancellations (Q1 2023 net orders: 142 aircraft). The order backlog amounted to 8,626 commercial aircraft at the end of
March 2024. Airbus Helicopters registered 63 net orders (Q1 2023: 39 units), mainly in the light and medium segments.
Airbus Defence and Space's order intake by value was EUR 2.0 billion (Q1 2023: EUR 2.5 billion).

Consolidated revenues increased 9 percent year-on-year to EUR 12.8 billion (Q1 2023: EUR 11.8 billion). A total of 142
commercial aircraft were delivered (Q1 2023: 127 aircraft), comprising 12 A220s, 116 A320 Family, 7 A330s^and 7 A350s.
Revenues generated by Airbus' commercial aircraft activities increased 13 percent, mainly reflecting the higher number
of deliveries. Airbus Helicopters' deliveries totalled 50 units (Q1 2023: 71 units) while its revenues decreased 9
percent, reflecting the lower volume of deliveries, partially offset by services. Revenues at Airbus Defence and Space
increased 4 percent mainly driven by the Air Power business, partly offset by a less favourable phasing in Space
Systems. One A400M military airlifter was delivered in the quarter.

Consolidated EBIT Adjusted - an alternative performance measure and key indicator capturing the underlying business
margin by excluding material charges or profits caused by movements in provisions related to programmes, restructuring
or foreign exchange impacts as well as capital gains/losses from the disposal and acquisition of businesses - was EUR 577
million (Q1 2023: EUR 773 million). It includes the planned impact linked to the increased Airbus Employee Share
Ownership Plan, which saw record participation among employees, and resulted in a year-on-year expense increase of
slightly above EUR 0.1 billion.

EBIT Adjusted related to Airbus' commercial aircraft activities decreased to EUR 507 million (Q1 2023: EUR 580 million),
with the positive impact from higher deliveries being offset by a slightly less favourable hedge rate as well as
investments for preparing the future.

The A220 ramp-up continues towards a monthly production rate of 14 aircraft in 2026, with a focus on the programme's
industrial maturity and financial performance. On the A320 Family programme, the Company is making progress towards the
rate of 75 aircraft per month in 2026. Entry-into-service of the A321XLR continues to be expected in Q3 2024. On
widebody aircraft, the Company has decided to increase the production rate for the A350 to 12 aircraft a month in 2028
and continues to target rate 4 for the A330 in 2024.

Airbus Helicopters' EBIT Adjusted decreased to EUR 71 million (Q1 2023: EUR 156 million), from a particularly strong first
quarter in 2023 and reflecting the lower deliveries.

EBIT Adjusted at Airbus Defence and Space decreased to EUR -9 million (Q1 2023: EUR 36 million), mainly reflecting the
lower volume and profitability of Space Systems, notably linked to the Estimates at Completion updates performed in the
second half of 2023.

On the A400M programme, development activities continue towards achieving the revised capability roadmap. Retrofit
activities are progressing in close alignment with the customer. No net material impact was recognised in the first
quarter of 2024. Risks remain on the qualification of technical capabilities and associated costs, on aircraft
operational reliability, on cost reductions and on securing overall volume as per the revised baseline.

Consolidated self-financed R&D expenses totalled EUR 743 million (Q1 2023: EUR 683 million).

Consolidated EBIT^(reported) amounted to EUR 609 million (Q1 2023: EUR 390 million), including net Adjustments of EUR +32
million.

These Adjustments comprised:

. EUR -13 million related to the dollar working capital mismatch and balance sheet revaluation. This mainly
reflects the phasing impact arising from the difference between transaction date and delivery date;
. EUR +51 million related to the gain on Airbus OneWeb Satellites, linked to the recent acquisition of the
remaining 50% of the joint venture;
. EUR -6 million of other costs including compliance costs.

The financial result was EUR 229 million (Q1 2023: EUR 149 million), mainly reflecting a positive impact from the
revaluation of certain equity investments. Consolidated net income^(1) was EUR 595 million (Q1 2023: EUR 466 million) with
consolidated reported earnings per share of EUR 0.76 (Q1 2023: EUR 0.59).

Consolidated free cash flow before customer financing was EUR -1,791 million (Q1 2023: EUR -876 million), mainly reflecting
the planned inventory build-up resulting from the execution of the ramp-up across programmes. Consolidated free cash
flow was EUR -1,799 million (Q1 2023: EUR -873 million). The gross cash position stood at EUR 23.4 billion at the end of
March 2024 (year-end 2023: EUR 25.3 billion), with a consolidated net cash position of EUR 8.7 billion (year-end 2023: EUR
10.7 billion).

Outlook

The guidance issued in February 2024 remains unchanged.

As the basis for its 2024 guidance, the Company assumes no additional disruptions to the world economy, air traffic,
the supply chain, the Company's internal operations, and its ability to deliver products and services.

The Company's 2024 guidance is before M&A.

On that basis, the Company targets to achieve in 2024:

. Around 800 commercial aircraft deliveries;
. EBIT Adjusted between EUR 6.5 billion and EUR 7.0 billion;
. Free Cash Flow before Customer Financing of around EUR 4.0 billion.
