Amsterdam, 23 March 2020 – Airbus SE (stock exchange symbol: AIR) announces measures
to bolster its liquidity and balance sheet in response to the COVID-19 pandemic as it continues
to assess the ongoing situation and the impact on its business, customers, suppliers and theindustry as a whole.
“Our first priority is protecting people while supporting efforts globally to curb the spread of thecoronavirus. We are also safeguarding our business to protect the future of Airbus and toensure we can return to efficient operations once the situation recovers. We have withdrawn
our 2020 guidance due to the volatility of the situation. At the same time, we are committed tosecuring the liquidity of the Company at all times through a prudent balance sheet policy. I am
convinced that Airbus and the broader aerospace sector will overcome this critical period,” said
Airbus Chief Executive Officer Guillaume Faury.
Reflecting the Company’s prudent balance sheet policy and to ensure financial flexibility,
Airbus’ management has received approval from the Board of Directors to: secure a new credit
facility amounting to € 15 billion in addition to the existing € 3 billion revolving credit facility;
withdraw the 2019 dividend proposal of € 1.80 per share with an overall cash value ofapproximately € 1.4 billion; and suspend the voluntary top up in pension funding. Given thelimited visibility due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, the 2020 guidance is withdrawn.
Operational scenarios, including measures to minimise cash requirements, have been
identified and will be activated depending on the further development of the pandemic.
With these decisions, the Company has significant liquidity available to cope with additional
cash requirements related to the coronavirus. Liquidity resources previously standing at
approximately € 20 billion, comprising around € 12 billion in financial assets at hand and around€ 8 billion in undrawn credit lines, were further bolstered by converting an existing € 5 billion
credit line into a new facility amounting to € 15 billion. Available liquidity now amounts toapproximately € 30 billion.
By maintaining production, managing its resilient backlog, supporting its customers andsecuring financial flexibility for its operations, Airbus intends to secure business continuity foritself even in a protracted crisis. Safe and efficient air travel is a key backbone of global
economic development and cultural exchange. Airbus therefore highly welcomes
governmental efforts around the globe to stabilise this industry by supporting the financial
health of its airline customers and its suppliers. Airbus continues to monitor the overall healthof the industry.
Airbus has convened its 2020 Annual General Meeting in Amsterdam on 16 April. Due to theglobal outbreak of COVID-19, Airbus discourages physical attendance and strongly
encourages shareholders to vote by proxy in line with public health and safety measures.
