Ryanair Holdings reports record FY26 profit after tax before exceptional items of €2.26bn, up 40% from €1.61bn, on 11% higher revenue of €15.54bn. Traffic grew 4% to 208.4m passengers with a 94% load factor and higher fares and ancillary spend per customer.
Operating costs before an exceptional charge rose 6% to €13.09bn, and the company booked an €85m provision related to an Italian AGCM fine that is under appeal. Net cash reached €2.1bn and gross cash €3.6bn, supporting dividends, about €0.5bn of share buybacks in FY26 and further buybacks after year-end.
Ryanair is 80% hedged on FY27 jet fuel at about $67 per barrel and expects FY27 traffic to grow 4% to 216m passengers, but refrains from profit guidance due to fuel price volatility, geopolitical risks and limited visibility on second-half pricing.
