Ad-hoc release, 24 June 2024
Airbus provides 2024 guidance update
* Charges of around EUR 0.9bn reported on certain telecommunications,
navigation and observation space programmes
* A320 ramp-up trajectory adjusted to reflect specific supply chain
challenges in a degraded operating environment; around 770 commercial
aircraft deliveries now expected in 2024; target production rate of 75
A320 Family aircraft a month maintained and now expected to be reached
in 2027
* 2024 guidance updated
Airbus SE (stock exchange symbol: AIR) is providing a market update to
report on new developments related to its space activities and commercial
aircraft business, the impact of which is leading the Company to update its
2024 guidance.
In the first half of 2024, the Space Systems management team conducted an
extensive technical review of all programmes, identifying further commercial
and technical challenges. On that basis, the Company has decided to record
charges of around EUR 0.9bn in the H1 2024 accounts. These are mainly related
to updated assumptions on schedules, workload, sourcing, risks and costs
over the lifetime of certain telecommunications, navigation and observation
programmes.
In commercial aircraft, Airbus is facing persistent specific supply chain
issues mainly in engines, aerostructures and cabin equipment. The Company
now intends to deliver around 770 commercial aircraft in 2024 and continues
to ramp up towards a rate of 75 A320 Family aircraft per month, which is now
expected in 2027.
Accordingly, Airbus is updating its 2024 guidance.
As the basis for its updated 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, in 2024, the Company now targets to achieve:
* Around 770 commercial aircraft deliveries;
* EBIT Adjusted of around EUR 5.5 billion;
* Free Cash Flow before Customer Financing of around EUR 3.5 billion.
The Company's half-year results will be disclosed on 30 July 2024.
