TUI AG: Annual Financial Report

TUI AG (TUI) 
TUI AG: Annual Financial Report - Part 1 
11-Dec-2019 / 12:01 CET/CEST 
Dissemination of a Regulatory Announcement, transmitted by EQS Group. 
The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. 
 
            11 December 2019 
 
      TUI GROUP 
 
      Full year results to 30 September 2019 
 
HIGHLIGHTS 
 
  · FY19 Group underlying EBITA result delivered in line with revised 
  guidance1 subsequent to MAX grounding, whilst continuing to invest in our 
  strategic transformation. 
 
  · This result, against a challenging market environment, proves the 
  resilience of our diversified business across both markets and 
  destinations, and our successful strategic transformation as an integrated 
  provider of holiday experiences. 
 
  · Our Holiday Experiences business delivered a strong performance and 
  double-digit ROIC performance. 
 
  · In contrast, our Markets & Airlines business saw a challenging market, 
  with a number of significant headwinds. Firstly, the continued Brexit 
  uncertainty and airline overcapacities led to a later customer booking 
  behaviour impacting margin performance for the year, compounded by the 
  grounding of the 737 MAX aircraft in March 2019. Our Summer 2019 programme 
  closed out well however, with both bookings and capacity in line with 
  prior year. 
 
  · Looking ahead, we will continue to focus and deliver on our four 
  strategic initiatives to enlarge TUI's ecosystem; 1) Protect and extend 
  our leading positions in Markets & Airlines, 2) Grow our Hotels & Cruise 
  businesses through asset-right expansion, 3) Build reach in new markets 
  through our new GDN-OTA2 digital platform and 4) Build scale in our 
  Destination Experience business through leveraging our Musement tours and 
  activities platform and targeted upselling through offering the potential 
  of 'One Million Things to Do'. 
 
  · We will continue to invest according to our disciplined capital 
  allocation policy. TUI remains well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing 
  transformation in this changing environment and deliver sustained growth 
  going forward. 
 
  · Based on our current outlook, we expect for FY20 an underlying EBIT 
  range of between approximately EUR 950m to EUR 1,050m1,3, which includes 
  an approximate EUR 130m cost impact from the 737 MAX grounding, assuming 
  a scenario whereby the MAX returns to service by end of April 20204. 
  However, in the alternative scenario, where the ban on the 737 MAX is not 
  lifted in time for a return to service by end of April 2020 and TUI has to 
  plan for a continued grounding for the remainder of FY20, the Group 
  assumes a further cost of between approximately EUR 220m to EUR 270m. 
  Neither scenarios include any potential grounding compensation from Boeing 
  in any form. Our guidance range above also includes a mid to high 
  double-digit millions investment in our digitalised platform growth. 
 
  · Proposed dividend of 54 Euro cents for financial year 2019 for payment 
  in February 2020. 
 
  · Capital allocation framework revised - updated dividend policy approved 
  for financial year 2020. Updated policy will be based on a core dividend 
  payout of 30 - 40% of the Group's Underlying EAT12 with a dividend floor 
  (minimum payout) of EUR 0.35 per share guaranteeing shareholders a 
  minimum payout irrespective of the market environment of the tourism 
  industry going forward.

FY19 RESULTS 
 
· In line with our revised expectations, we have delivered underlying 
EBITA of EUR 880m at constant currency, 26% down on prior year. This 
reflects EUR 293m cost impact from the grounding of the 737 MAX aircraft, 
in line with our ad hoc announcement in March 2019. Excluding this impact, 
we delivered a result in line with prior year, driven by the strong 
underlying growth of our Holiday Experiences businesses and offset by our 
Markets & Airlines business which faced ongoing external headwinds such as 
continued Brexit uncertainty and airline overcapacities, impacting overall 
underlying EBITA growth for the Group.

· Hotels & Resorts delivered improved earnings and strong segmental ROIC 
of 13.5% (versus segmental WACC of 7.8%), against a prior year result 
which included EUR 43m of net disposal gains. 
 
· Our diversified portfolio of destinations delivered an improved 
like-for-like underlying result in the year - whilst our absolute 
earnings for the segment saw a small decline year on year, this is 
versus a result in the prior year which included net disposal gains of 
EUR 43m. 
 
· As anticipated, we saw demand for Spain during the year normalise with 
both rates and occupancies coming off record highs in recent years. This 
normalisation has been offset by a better result in our Turkish and 
North African hotels as demand returned to these destinations. There was 
continued high demand for the Caribbean and good demand for Greece. 
 
· Occupancy rate remained high at 82% with average rate per bed 
improving by 5% to EUR 66. 
 
· We continue to deliver a strong ROIC performance of 13.5%, 
demonstrating the benefit of our portfolio ownership approach of hotel 
and club brands across multiple destinations, supported by our 
integrated omni-channel distribution and underpinned by our disciplined 
approach to investment. 
 
· For further commentary on Hotels & Resorts, please see page 69 of the 
Annual Report. 
 
· Cruise delivered another year of strong growth, with record ROIC of 
23.3% (versus segmental WACC of 6.73%). 
 
· Growth was driven by new ship launches in each of our three brands - 
Mein Schiff 2 by TUI Cruises in Germany, Explorer 2 by Marella Cruises 
in the UK, and Hanseatic nature by Hapag-Lloyd Cruises in Germany, as 
well as annualisation of new ships in the prior year. 
 
· We delivered continued high occupancies and robust average daily rates 
across the fleets, despite a significant increase in market capacity, 
particularly in the German cruise market, demonstrating the continued 
demand for our differentiated brands. 
 
· Segmental ROIC grew to a record 23.3%, reflecting our equity 
participation in TUI Cruises as well as strong performances by our 
Marella Cruises and Hapag-Lloyd Cruises subsidiaries. 
 
· For further commentary on Cruise, please see page 70 of the Annual 
Report. 
 
· Destination Experiences delivered a 22% increase in underlying EBITA in 
the year, and a 44% increase if excluding EUR 10m investment in Musement 
platform in the year. ROIC of 21.9%, 28.1% if excluding Musement 
investment. 
 
· Turnover up 105%, driven by both underlying customer growth and the 
acquisition of Destination Management and Musement in 2018. 
 
· Higher customer volumes in North Africa, South East Asia, Australia 
and Caribbean. 
 
· Tours and Activities increased by 116% to 9.7m versus prior year. 
 
· Successful integration of Musement platform completed in the year. 
 
· Third party distribution expanded through co-operation with Ctrip. 
 
· For further commentary on Destination Experiences, please see page 70 
of the Annual Report. 
 
· Markets & Airlines delivered a result in line with revised expectations, 
with underlying EBITA impacted by the 737 MAX grounding and external 
market challenges. 
 
· The grounding of the 737 MAX aircraft since March 2019 led to a cost 
of EUR 293m across our Markets & Airlines business during the financial 
year. 
 
· The ongoing knock-on impact of last year's extraordinary hot Summer 
and Brexit uncertainty led to a later booking behaviour versus prior 
years. 
 
· Additionally, external pressures such as airline overcapacity to 
Spanish destinations, resulted in increased competition, putting 
pressure on margins. 
 
· These headwinds triggered the collapse of one of our key competitors 
in this segment, leading to EUR 15m worth of bad debt write-offs in our 
final quarter. 
 
· Overall customer volumes declined slightly by 0.6% with customer 
growth in Central Region (driven mostly by our growing market Poland) 
offset by reductions in both Northern and Western Regions. 
 
· Both direct and online distribution mix remained stable at 74% and 48% 
respectively. 
 
· Strong increase in our net promoter score to 53, from 50, which 
evidences our continued priority and focus on our customer holiday 
experiences as well as the strong appeal for our differentiated customer 
offering. 
 
· Against an environment of various market challenges, we initiated our 
Markets & Domains Transformation Programme (MTP) which will focus on 
driving our market competiveness, protecting and where possible 
extending our leading market positions through revenue and cost base 
initiatives. 
 
· For further commentary on Markets & Airlines, please refer to pages 71 
to 73 of the Annual Report. 
 
· The underlying EBITA result for All other segments improved by EUR 27m 
at constant currency versus prior year, reflecting various one-off cost 
savings across central group functions. To better reflect airline economic 
benefits in their respective regions, central aircraft financing effects 
have been reallocated to each market at the end of the financial year. 
Prior year FY18 underlying EBITA has subsequently been restated to provide 
a like-for-like comparison, please refer to page 73 in the FY19 Annual 
Report for further details. 
 
· Reported EBITA declined by 27.1% at constant currency as a result of the 
cost impact from the grounding of 737 MAX aircraft. Adjustments increased 
EUR 37m mainly from one-off expenses relating to reorganisation costs in 
Destination Experiences, the UK, Nordics, Germany and France as well the 
loss on Corsair disposal, partly offset by income from the reduction of 
pension obligations in the UK. For further detail on Adjustments, please 
refer to page 67 of the Annual Report. In FY20, we expect approximately 
EUR 100m gain on disposal from our German specialist businesses Berge & 
Meer and Boomerang, to largely offset one-off expenses related to 
efficiency enhancement and further transformation of our Market & Airlines 
business, therefore anticipate net Adjustments for the new financial year 
of between EUR 70m to EUR 90m. 
 
· Underlying EPS decreased to EUR 0.89, a reduction of 24.4%, at constant 
currency reflecting the operational developments as described above, 
offset by the effect of more efficient financing, and continued low 
underlying effective tax rate of 18%. For the calculation of underlying 
EPS, please refer to page 39 of the Annual Report. 
 
            CAPITAL ALLOCATION 
 
   We have updated our capital allocation framework to reflect the following 
   financial priorities: (i) Organic growth, (ii) Payout of a core dividend, 
  (iii) Accretive Mergers & Acquisitions and portfolio optimisation and (iv) 
         Excess cash to be returned to shareholders. At the same time we are 
  disciplined in maintaining a solid balance sheet and keep our target gross 
   leverage ratio comfortably within the range of 3.0x - 2.25x. This updated 
          capital allocation framework will provide TUI Group with increased 
  flexibility as it facilitates investments in our strategic initiatives and 
           future growth opportunities, as well as an attractive dividend to 
        shareholders, underpinned by a solid and robust financial structure. 
 
            DIVIDEND 
 
   We are committed to delivering attractive returns to our shareholders. As 
     outlined in our guidance at the beginning of the financial year, we are 
  proposing a dividend for financial year 2019 in line with underlying EBITA 
          growth at constant currency. Therefore the Executive Board and the 
      Supervisory Board are recommending a dividend of 54 cents per share in 
       respect of the financial year 2019. Subject to approval at the Annual 
  General Meeting on 11 February 2020, shareholders who hold relevant shares 
    at close of business on 11 February 2020 will receive the dividend on 14 
 February 2020 and holders of depositary interests will receive the dividend 
            on 25 February 2020. 
 
From Financial Year 2020 onwards, the Group's dividend policy will change as 
            follows: 
 
   * a core dividend payout of 30 - 40% of the Group's Underlying EAT12 with 
 
            * a dividend floor (minimum payout) of EUR 0.35 per share. 
 
   While the new dividend policy is expected to result in lower payouts, the 
 dividend floor guarantees shareholders a minimum payout irrespective of the 
        market environment of the tourism industry and subsequent impacts on 
   Underlying EAT12. Based on TUI's share price at the end of Financial Year 
      2019, the dividend floor would represent a dividend yield of 3.3% p.a. 
 
     12 Underlying EAT post minorities at constant currency is calculated as 
 Underlying EBIT minus interest expenses adjusted by one-off items minus tax 
 based on underlying tax rate of currently 18% minus minorities adjusted for 
            one-off items. 
 
            NET DEBT 
 
Closing financial position declined from the prior year net cash position of 
 EUR 124m to EUR 910m net debt, in line with our plan. The higher net debt 
        position firstly reflects the full utilisation of our circa EUR 2bn 
      disposal proceeds generated post-merger, which benefitted our previous 
   closing balance sheet positions. Whilst operating cash flow was almost in 
     line with prior year, the increase in net debt was driven by higher net 
         investments in the year and our planned asset and debt financing of 
     EUR 437m, (predominantly related to our committed aircraft re-fleeting 
    programme) resulting in a net debt balance of EUR 910m at our financial 
            year end. 
 
            FUEL/FOREIGN EXCHANGE 
 
           Our strategy of hedging the majority of our jet fuel and currency 
  requirements for future seasons remains unchanged. This gives us increased 
  certainty of costs when planning capacity and pricing. The following table 
   shows the percentage of our forecast requirement that is currently hedged 
for Euros, US Dollars and jet fuel for our Markets & Airlines, which account 
            for over 90% of our Group currency and fuel exposure.

            EXPECTED DEVELOPMENT 
 
  FY19 saw a number of external challenges which limited our overall growth. 
  Some of these ongoing external challenges remain and are likely to persist 
  into FY20. TUI's sustained performance in a challenging market environment 
     demonstrates its successful transformation as an integrated provider of 
     holiday experiences, with strong strategic positioning, combining owned 
    products with strong omni-channel distribution capabilities, diversified 
      across markets and destinations. This coming year will see us focus on 
 driving competitiveness in Markets & Airlines, asset-right expansion of our 
      Holiday Experiences business, and building reach and scale through our 
    digital platforms in new markets and Destination Experiences, to enlarge 
TUI's ecosystem. Delivering on our four strategic initiatives will ensure we 
 continue to grow our integrated business model and become a travel platform 
        with strong brands and strong customer relationships. We will invest 
       according to the priorities and discipline as outlined in our capital 
        allocation policy and TUI remains well-positioned to benefit in this 
            changing environment and deliver sustained growth going forward. 
 
In Hotels & Resorts, our diversified portfolio of destinations means we will 
   continue to see a balanced result from the shift in demand for Turkey and 
    North Africa, against a normalisation in rates and occupancies in Spain, 
     particularly in the Canaries. Going forward we will continue to further 
 diversify our asset portfolio, we will selectively invest in our key hotels 
    brands such as Riu, Robinson and Blue Diamond. We will establish our TUI 
 Blue brand as a leading leisure asset-light hotel chain, growing from 11 to 
   100 hotels by end of 2020. Around 85 of these hotels will be through the 
 repositioning/conversion of existing hotels within the group portfolio, and 
      mostly under asset-light ownership such as joint ventures, management, 
   franchise and third-party concepts. We expect incremental capex over next 
 few financial years to acquire a small number of TUI Blue hotels which will 
 be fully owned. Around four new TUI Blue hotels will be opened during FY20. 
Additionally, we plan to open around eight new incremental hotels across our 
           other key brands. Continuing on from past years, we expect to see 
        incremental profit contribution from the annualisation of past hotel 
            investments. 
 
        In Cruises, FY20 will see the annualisation benefit from three ships 
   launched across our three cruise brands during the course of FY19, plus a 
        full-year benefit from the Hanseatic inspiration expedition ship for 
 Hapag-Lloyd Cruises launched in October 2019. As well documented across the 
      sector, the international ocean cruise market saw a record year of new 
    capacity growth during 2019, with the German cruise market in particular 
seeing an estimated 20% growth. As a result, TUI Cruises has seen customers 
       committing later to booking which we expect to limit yield and growth 
 contribution from TUI Cruises in the year. The introduction of IMO2020, the 
new regulatory requirement to cap sulphur content of marine fuel oil as of 1 
January 2020, will see higher operational costs incurred for Marella Cruises 
    (across the full fleet), Hapag-Lloyd Cruises (across full fleet) and TUI 
Cruises (relating to Mein Schiff Herz). For Marella Cruises, average selling 
price growth to date has been insufficient to cover the significantly higher 
    cost base as a result of IMO2020 and we expect this will fully erode any 
            annualisation benefit from Explorer 2 in FY20. 
 
    In Destination Experiences, we will continue to build customer reach and 
     scale to enlarge TUI's ecosystem. We will target upselling 'One Million 
      Things To Do' through both our Destination Management business and our 
   digitalised platform Musement. Alongside, we will grow both the number of 
tours and activities offered and increase our 3rd party distribution through 
        partnerships such as Ctrip. In order to accelerate and achieve these 
  strategic goals, additional opex investment will be required which will be 
            at the expense of EBIT and margin in the short to medium term. 
 
     In Markets & Airlines, recent events have reinforced our leading market 
   position as an integrated provider of holiday experiences, enabling us to 
benefit from our vertical integration model and drive more demand to our own 
Holiday Experiences product businesses. Following the collapse of one of our 
  key competitors on 23 September 2019, we have experienced an unprecedented 
 number of customers in the UK migrating to TUI to fulfil their holidays. We 
have subsequently increased our planned capacity for Winter 2019/20 by 2% to 
  flat year on year, from our previously planned reduction of 2%. For Summer 
 2020, we have increased capacity year on year by 14% driven by our recently 
 announced volume increases predominantly in the UK, followed by Germany and 
    Benelux. Currently Winter 2019/20 bookings are up 4% and average selling 
 prices are up 6% both versus prior year, with 59% of the programme sold, in 
line with prior year13. Bookings for next Summer 2020 are at an early stage. 
     The UK is 25% sold, and at this stage, bookings are up 18% with average 
            selling price up 3%13. 
 
 13 These statistics are up to 1 December 2019, shown on a constant currency 
            basis and relate to all customers whether risk or non-risk 
 
  With regard to the UK's potential exit from the EU in 2020, a main concern 
remains whether our airlines will continue to have access to EU airspace. We 
       are continuing to address the importance of there being a special and 
  comprehensive agreement for aviation between the EU and the UK post Brexit 
 to protect consumer choice with the relevant UK and EU decision makers, and 
are in regular exchange with relevant regulatory authorities. We continue to 
 develop scenarios and mitigating strategies for various outcomes, including 
   a "hard Brexit", depending on the political negotiations, with a focus to 
            alleviate potential impacts from Brexit for the Group. 
 
       Based on our near-term strategic initiatives, we expect to deliver an 
  underlying EBIT range of between approximately EUR 950m to EUR 1,050m in 
FY20, reflecting growth in Holiday Experiences and market uncertainties that 
        continues to impact our Markets & Airlines business, and includes an 
    approximate EUR 130m cost impact from the 737 MAX grounding, assuming a 
          scenario whereby the MAX returns to service by end of April 20204. 
 
   However, in the alternative scenario, where the ban on the 737 MAX is not 
  lifted in time for a return to service by end of April 2020 and TUI has to 
 plan for a continued grounding for the remainder of FY20, the Group assumes 
            a further cost of between approximately EUR 220m to EUR 270m. 
 
  Neither scenarios include any potential grounding compensation from Boeing 
            in any form. 
 
  Our guidance range above also includes a mid to high double-digit millions 
 investment in our digitalised platform growth. We would remind that FY20 Q1 
       will see a headwind of EUR 29m from the non-repeat of a hedging gain 
    reported in Q1 of the prior year and was also clear of any MAX grounding 
            costs during Q1 of the prior year. 
 
  Further detail on FY20 expected development is set out in the table below.

Zeitenwende! 3 Uranaktien vor der Neubewertung
Ende Mai leitete US-Präsident Donald Trump mit der Unterzeichnung mehrerer Dekrete eine weitreichende Wende in der amerikanischen Energiepolitik ein. Im Fokus: der beschleunigte Ausbau der Kernenergie.

Mit einem umfassenden Maßnahmenpaket sollen Genehmigungsprozesse reformiert, kleinere Reaktoren gefördert und der Anteil von Atomstrom in den USA massiv gesteigert werden. Auslöser ist der explodierende Energiebedarf durch KI-Rechenzentren, der eine stabile, CO₂-arme Grundlastversorgung zwingend notwendig macht.

In unserem kostenlosen Spezialreport erfahren Sie, welche 3 Unternehmen jetzt im Zentrum dieser energiepolitischen Neuausrichtung stehen, und wer vom kommenden Boom der Nuklearindustrie besonders profitieren könnte.

Holen Sie sich den neuesten Report! Verpassen Sie nicht, welche Aktien besonders von der Energiewende in den USA profitieren dürften, und laden Sie sich das Gratis-PDF jetzt kostenlos herunter.
