Europe’s Airbus predicted 720 plane deliveries and higher profits in 2022 after core operating profit almost trebled last year on a partial recovery in jet deliveries and higher defence and helicopter earnings during the pandemic.<\/p>\n
Europe’s largest aerospace group also restarted its dividend for the first time in two years after swinging to a record net profit of 4.213 billion euros ($4.8 billion), boosted by the halting of its A380 superjumbo and a reversal of some COVID-19 charges.<\/p>\n
Airbus said it would propose a dividend of 1.5 euros a share.<\/p>\n
The group’s widely watched adjusted operating profit soared to 4.865 billion euros from 1.706 billion a year earlier as revenues rose 4% to 52.149 billion. For 2022, Airbus predicted a core profit of 5.5 billion euros<\/p>\n
For the fourth quarter, Airbus posted 1.496 billion euros of adjusted operating income on revenues of 16.994 billion.<\/p>\n
Analysts were on average expecting comparable income of 1.364 billion euros on revenues of 16.878 billion, according to a company-compiled consensus.<\/p>\n
Airbus reaffirmed plans to raise production of its best-selling A320neo family.<\/p>\n
Net cash rose more than 75% to 7.6 billion euros, compared with a pre-crisis level of 12.5 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
