Lufthansa’s third-quarter operating profits down

achieved an adjusted EBIT of €2.4 billion for the first nine months of 2018 – a 7.7% decline on the prior-year period which the company says, is primarily attributable to the integration costs at Eurowings.
Adjusted EBIT margin for the period amounted to 8.8%. Nine-month results were also burdened by a €536 million rise in fuel costs, an increase in the costs incurred in connection with delays and cancellations, and higher expenses.

“We expect to see our full-year costs increase by more than €1 billion in 2018 due to fuel costs and the extra expenses incurred from delays and cancellations alone,” says Carsten Spohr, Chairman of the Executive Board & CEO of Deutsche AG. “But despite this, we achieved an Adjusted EBIT of €2.4 billion for the first three quarters of this year, the second-best nine-month result in our history. And had it not been for the losses at Eurowings, we would have posted another record earnings result. This is a clear testament to our sustainable strength – a strength that we have demonstrated even under challenging conditions this year.”

Lufthansa Group generated total revenues of €26.9 billion in the first nine months of 2018. Total revenues increased by 6% on the prior-year period, while traffic revenues were up 7%. As a result of the first-time adoption of the new IFRS 15 accounting standard, the reported growth of total revenues to €26.9 billion was only 0.5%, while the reported traffic revenues declined by 1% to €21.1 billion.
