Reference is made to Norwegian’s results announcement for third quarter of 2023 on 2 November 2023, in which the company provided a results outlook forecasting an operating profit (EBIT) of NOK 1.8 to 2.0 billion for the full-year of 2023 and a unit cost excluding fuel of NOK 0.47 to 0.48 per available seat kilometre (ASK).
Norwegian is now forecasting operating profit (EBIT) for the full-year of 2023 of approximately NOK 2.2 billion and a unit cost excl. fuel of approximately NOK 0.48. The improvement in the results outlook is predominately an effect of stronger than anticipated traffic demand in November and December of 2023, the settlement of a trademark dispute with Bank Norwegian as announced on 7 November 2023 and compensation related to aircraft delivery delays. Favourable development in the price of jet fuel and foreign exchange rates have also had a positive impact on the results outlook.
The company will publish its results for the fourth quarter and full-year 2023 on Friday 16 February 2024.
