FIRST QUARTER RESULTS
FULL YEAR 2016 OUTLOOK: OBJECTIVES MAINTAINED
The Board of Directors of Air France-KLM, chaired by Alexandre de Juniac, met on May 3 rd 2016 to examine the accounts for the First Quarter of the Financial Year 2016.
Alexandre de Juniac made the following comments : "Air France-KLM is continuing to deliver a clear improvement of its financial indicators in the First Quarter 2016, leading to a significant increase of its operating result while continuing to reduce its net debt. Despite a difficult environment marked in particular by the Brussels attacks, the upgraded product offer, the commercial efforts and the ongoing network adaptation have enabled the Group to limit the unit revenue decline and to retain a substantial part of the fuel savings, while unit costs have decreased during the quarter in line with the objectives set at the beginning of the year. All the staff can legitimately congratulate themselves for their efforts producing results. In the framework of Perform 2020 plan, we confirm our ambition to improve our competitiveness within a global context that remains uncertain."

* Servair reclassified as discontinued operation.
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been revised as of 1 st January 2016 in order to reflect Servair as discontinued operations. The 2015 financial statements have been restated accordingly. Details of this restatement can be found in the appendix of this press release.
First Quarter 2016 total revenues were stable at 5.6 billion euros versus First Quarter 2015, down 1.3% excluding the impact of currency (like-for-like).
Currencies had a positive 95 million euro impact on revenues versus First Quarter 2015, primarily driven by the strengthening of the US dollar against the euro partly offset by the weakening of other currencies. The negative impact on costs reached 174 million euros, including a lower tailwind from currency hedging compared to the First Quarter 2015. In the First Quarter 2016, the net impact of currencies thus amounted to a negative 79 million euros.
Total operating costs were 4.9% lower year-on-year and down 7.6% on a like-for-like basis. Ex-fuel, they increased by 2.0% and by 0.3% on a like-for-like basis. Unit cost per EASK was down 1.3%, on a constant currency and fuel price basis, with a stable capacity measured in EASK (+0.3%).
Total employee costs including temporary staff were up 0.8% to 1,844 million euros. In addition, the Group recorded under "other non-current income and expenses" a 146 million euro provision for a Voluntary Departure Plan targeting 1,600 full time equivalent positions.
The fuel bill amounted to 1,096 million euros, down 25.9% and like-for-like down 30.5%. Based on the forward curve at 22 April 2016, the Full Year 2016 fuel bill is expected to reach 4.6 billion euros4 [4]
EBITDAR amounted to 531 million euros, a reported increase of 307 million euros. Like-for-like, EBITDAR increased by 371 million euros. Over the First Quarter 2016, 55% of the savings achieved on the fuel bill were retained. The positive fuel price effect of 450 million euros was partially offset by pressure on unit revenues (negative 119 million euros) and currency impacts (negative 79 million euros).
EBITDA amounted to 266 million euros, an increase of 292 million euros. Like-for-like, EBITDA increased by 370 million euros, mainly as a result of the strong Passenger network performance, which improved by 356 million euros like-for-like over the first quarter.

First Quarter 2016 total passenger network revenues amounted to 4,473 million euros, up 1.2% and down 0.2% like-for-like. The operating result of the passenger network business stood at -18 million euros, versus -322 million euros over the First Quarter 2015. Like-for-like, the operating result improved by 375 million euros.
The Group maintained its strict capacity discipline, growing the total passenger network capacity during the First Quarter 2016 by 1.1%, while increasing the average loadfactor by 2.0 points to 84.5%. The traffic increased in all regions of the network, except Asia following the planned reduction in capacity.

The Group continued to restructure its cargo activity to address the weak global trade and structural air cargo industry overcapacity. During First Quarter 2016, full-freighter capacity was reduced by 32%, while belly capacity increased by 0.7%, leading to a decrease in total capacity of 8.1%. Revenue per Available Ton Kilometer (ATK) was nevertheless down by 10.8% like-for-like, reflecting the industry overcapacity, especially on flows from Asia to Europe.
The operating result stood at -50 million euros, an improvement of 16 million euros like-for-like.
Within the framework of Perform 2020, 1 MD-11 freighter was retired during the First Quarter, down to 8 full-freighters in operation. The Group plans to operate only 5 full-freighters by the end of 2016.

First Quarter 2016 third party maintenance revenues amounted to 431 million euros, up 13.4% and by 7.0% like-for-like. Revenues benefited not only from the strong dollar, but also from the contracts gained in previous years. The operating margin remained stable as a result of change in business mix from mature contracts to new growth, OEM supply chain under pressure in the engine business and labor costs inflation due to the profit sharing scheme.
The operating result stood at 38 million euros, up 3 million euros year-on-year, and stable like-for-like.
Over the period, the Group recorded a further 4% increase in its order book to 8.7 billion dollars with new contracts for CFM engines and first A350 total support contract.

In the First Quarter 2016 , the increase of 292 million euros in EBITDA resulted in a cash flow before change in WCR and cash out related to Voluntary Departure Plans of 255 million euros. The Group disbursed 39 million euros for Voluntary Departure Plans. The change in Working Capital Requirement contributed 524 million euros to operating cash flow. Net investments before sale & lease-back transactions stood at 544 million euros. As a result, operating free cash flow improved by 242 million euros.
Net debt amounted to 4.16 billion euros at 31 March 2016, versus 4.31 billion euros at 31 December 2015. The trailing 12 months adjusted net debt / EBITDAR ratio stood at 3.0x at 31 March 2016, an improvement of 0.4 points compared to 31 December 2015, and 0.8 points compared to 31 March 2015.
The 35 basis points fall in discount rates (for period > 20 years) during First Quarter 2016 led to another significant increase in the actuarial valuation of retirement obligations of more than 1.3 billion euros. The change in asset value amounted to 325 million euros during the First Quarter. The balance sheet pension situation thus moved from a net liability of 177 million euros at 31 December 2015 to a net liability of 1,164 million euros at 31 March 2016.
At 31 March 2016, equity, group share, amounted to -510 million euros, down 783 million euros over the quarter due to the strong seasonality of results (net result of -155 million euros) and an increase of 753 million euros in after tax net pension liability. The change in fair value of the fuel hedging portfolio had a positive impact of 178 million euros over the quarter.
The global context in 2016 remains highly uncertain regarding fuel prices, the continuation of the overcapacity situation on several markets and the geopolitical and economic context in which we operate. As a consequence, the Group expects the forecasted savings on the fuel bill to be significantly offset in the coming quarters by unit revenue pressure and negative currency impacts.
Under these conditions, the Group is maintaining its expectations for 2016:

NB: Sum of individual airline results does not add up to Air France-KLM total due to intercompany eliminations at Group level.
The Group studied various scenarios to ensure the development of its subsidiary Servair and opted for the participation of another company in the share capital of Servair. In March 2016, both Servair and Air France informed the representative bodies of their employees about this process. Taken into consideration the offers received by Air France, this should lead to a loss of control of Servair by Air France-KLM Group, as defined in IFRS 10 standard. Servair currently constitutes the main cash-generating unit of the segment "Other". The above elements have triggered the accounting treatment of the Servair Group in "discontinued operations" as of March 31, 2016, as defined in IFRS 5 standard. The consolidated figures as at March 31, 2015 have consequently been restated for the purpose of comparison:
