HELSINKI, Finland --(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Regulatory News:

Finnair Plc  Stock Exchange Release  11 February 2014 at 9:40am. EET

Finnair Board of Directors has approved a new performance share plan, covering years 2014–2016, for the key personnel of the Finnair Group. The share plan is a part of Finnair’s long-term share-based incentive arrangement that Finnair Board of Directors approved in 2013, and which consists of annually commencing individual plans. The purpose of the share plan is to encourage the management to work to increase long-term shareholder value and also to commit the management to the company.

The participants have the opportunity to earn Finnair shares as a long-term incentive reward, if the performance targets set by the Board of Directors are achieved. The performance criteria applied to the 2014–2016 plan is ROCE (Return on Capital Employed) and TSR (total shareholder return). The number of employees eligible to participate in the first plan is approximately 50 persons.

If the targets set for the first plan for years 2014–2016 are met, the estimated total value of the shares to be paid on the basis of this plan would be 1.6 million euros, corresponding to approximately 600,000 Finnair shares based on current share price (gross before the payroll tax withholding). If the maximum targets are met, the estimated total value of shares to be paid would be approximately 3.2 million euros corresponding to approximately 1,200,000 Finnair shares (gross before the payroll tax withholding).

The potential reward shares will be delivered to members of Finnair’s Executive Board in three share tranches and for other participants in two tranches during the three or two years following the performance period, i.e. in years 2017–2019.  The maximum value of shares delivered to an individual participant based on the share plan in any given year may not exceed 60 % of the employee’s annual base salary.

The three-year performance period of the 2014–2016 share plan will be followed by a restriction period, during which the participant may not sell or transfer the shares received as a reward. The restriction period is three years for the members of Finnair's Executive Board and one year for other participants. In addition, the members of Finnair’s Executive Board are required to accumulate and once achieved, to maintain a share ownership in Finnair corresponding to his/her annual base salary as long as he/she holds a position as a member of Finnair's Executive Board.

No new shares will be issued in connection with the share-based incentive plans and therefore the arrangement will have no diluting effect. Long term incentive arrangement approved in 2013 as well as new plan, covering years 2014-2016, are in line with guidelines issued by Cabinet Committee on Economic Policy. Finnair used PCA Corporate Finance as an advisor in the planning of this incentive plan.

Finnair Plc. Interim report 7 May 2014 at 09:30 EET

January–March 2014

· Turnover declined by 8.4 per cent to 543.3 million euros (593.2).

· The operational result was -34.2 million euros (-17.5).

· Net cash flow from operating activities stood at -20.5 million euros (-11.5), and cash flow from investments totalled 233.6 million euros (-9.2).

· Unit cost per available seat kilometre excluding fuel, CASK (CASK excl. fuel) decreased by 0.2 per cent from previous year’s level.

· Unit revenue per available seat kilometre (RASK) fell by 4.0 per cent.

· Good development in the transatlantic joint business, the company made preparations to begin a joint business for flights between Europe and Japan.

· Market outlook for 2014 remain unchanged, Finnair’s result for 2014 will be substantially affected by the result of cost reduction negotiations and employee consultations.

CEO Pekka Vauramo:

The first quarter of the year is typically Finnair’s weakest, and this year the period was particularly difficult for us. Our turnover declined by 8.4 per cent year-on-year and amounted to 543.3 million euros. The decline in turnover was affected by a slight decrease in overall capacity, continued strong contraction in leisure traffic volume, Asian traffic revenue decline mainly due to exchange rate fluctuations, and a decline in home market demand, particularly in business travel. Cargo traffic continued to suffer from market overcapacity, but there were early signs of a recovery in demand.

Our result for the first quarter was very weak: Our operational result declined significantly and showed a loss of 34.2 million euros. This indicates clearly that our cost-reduction program and the measures under our new commercial strategy aimed at turnover growth are absolutely essential. Continuing with cost-reduction measures is inevitable and vital for Finnair’s future.

It was a major disappointment that our negotiations with the Finnish Aviation Union (IAU), the Trade Union PRO and the Finnish Flight Attendants' Association (SLSY) under the crisis clause included in the agreements concluded in November 2013 in line with the Finnish Employment and Growth Pact did not lead to any agreement. Negotiations with the Finnish Pilots' Association (SLL) are still ongoing. As Finnair simply cannot bear the current cost structure, I hope we can still reach a mutual agreement on how to save costs. Having to rely on unilateral measures is the final and least pleasant alternative, and we hope to avoid it.

The first quarter also included some positives. The results of the transatlantic joint business we began in July 2013 have been very positive. It has also allowed us to accumulate valuable experience for the joint business on flights between Europe and Japan, which began in April. Our operational quality also remained at a high level, and we made efforts to improve the comfort of travel by launching a Business Class seat renewal and replacing the last of our Boeing 757 aircraft with new Airbus 321 Sharklet aircraft.

We will continue the renewal of our service concepts this year while also making preparing for the renewal of our long-haul fleet starting next year. However, our future growth depends significantly on how well we succeed in achieving our cost reduction target. Only a profitable Finnair can grow.

Outlook for 2014 remains unchanged

The ongoing uncertain economic outlook in Europe and Asia is contributing to weak consumer demand in some of our main markets. Air traffic is expected to grow moderately in 2014. Finnair, however, will not be able to benefit from that growth without progress in its cost savings program and its target cost structure in place.

Finnair estimates its turnover to be close to the previous year’s level in 2014. Fuel costs are expected to remain high. The outcome of Finnair's ongoing employee consultations and cost-saving negotiations will have a significant impact on financial performance in 2014, and therefore the company will reconsider giving guidance for its full-year 2014 financial performance after the savings negotiations have been concluded.

Finnair: Finnair’s strategy review: Asia Strategy Remains at the Centre – Savings and Increased Productivity Necessary
08:55 07.05.14

HELSINKI --(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Regulatory News:

Finnair Plc (HEX:FIA):

As a part of its annual strategy work, Finnair's Board of Directors has approved strategic targets and an updated mission for the company.

Finnair’s mission is to offer the smoothest connections in the northern hemisphere via Helsinki and the fastest and best network to the world in its home market, as well as to create value for shareholders by providing an attractive return on investment.

Finnair's strategic objectives are to:

• Double Asian revenues by 2020 from the 2010 level

• Grow traffic via Helsinki by utilising Finland’s geographic location

• Create shareholder value and be an attractive investment.

By taking advantage of the growth of Asian markets Finnair has the ability to grow as well – if it succeeds in its ongoing structural change and cost saving program. Finnair’s Board of Directors gives its full support to this program. Finnair's long-term target is 6 per cent operational profit, which would allow the company to invest in the future and provide a return on capital employed higher than its cost.

Asian traffic enables good connections from Finland

Along with taking advantage of Asian market growth and developing the Helsinki hub, the key elements of Finnair’s strategy include the renewal of commercial activities and processes and the development of new digital services for passengers. With these initiatives Finnair seeks additional revenue and aims at creating additional value for customers by improving the service experience.

Finnair's strategy of developing transfer traffic via Helsinki also offers Finns excellent air connections that would not otherwise be commercially possible due to Finland’s small population. This benefits Finnish business and leisure travellers, the Finnish economy and especially the Finnish travel sector.

Operations at Helsinki Airport to be developed flexibly

As part of preparations for growth, the company must consider how it will develop its network in Asia, Finland and Europe without bottlenecks so that traffic can be handled flexibly with smooth and cost-efficient connections.

Finnair's home base at Helsinki Airport has an important role in Finnair’s strategy. As part of its hub development, Finnair will examine different options to organize its bank structure so that Helsinki Airport can be utilized as flexibly and cost-efficiently as possible when traffic increases.

Investments in fleet necessary to improve competitiveness

Finnair's strategy also calls for modernization of its fleet. The Airbus A350 aircraft ordered by the company, with deliveries starting in the second half of 2015, are absolutely critical as they represent a next-generation step-change in fuel efficiency over the aircraft they will replace. In addition, the company must solve its current profitability issues in European flying, which among other things requires reviewing the renewal alternatives of the narrow-body fleet in the near future.

In addition to developing its passenger traffic, Finnair aims to further develop its cargo business. Cargo demand between Europe and Asia tends to track closely with economic growth, and Finnair intends to take its share of this growth by taking advantage of the additional cargo capacity offered by the new wide-body aircraft.

Building on existing strengths

By implementing its strategy, Finnair aims at being able to determine its own future in the rapidly changing market and consolidating industry. The company must develop its operations in order to remain competitive. At the same time it must maintain and further strengthen its traditional strengths: world-class operations, a strong safety culture and good customer service.
