WOOD Flash – Pegasus Airlines: 3Q24 – 22% higher CASKX alleviated by 4% higher RASK and 12% lower fuel CASK (in line with the consensus)

Pegasus’ reported results missed our estimates, but were broadly in line with the consensus collected by the company. The EBIT, a proxy for earnings (as it is unaffected by the non-cash FX gains and losses), was 5% lower yoy in 3Q24. Revenues were up by 13% yoy, driven by 9% ASK growth and a 4% stronger RASK. This was offset by the steep increase in costs. The ex-fuel cask (CASKX) was up 22%, driven chiefly by growth in personnel costs. This was alleviated partly by the fuel CASK, which was down 12%. Still, when adjusted for FX, the net profit would have been down 9% yoy, we estimate.
