 **RYANAIR NOW DEBT FREE AS LAST €1.2 BILLION BOND IS REPAID TODAY**

Ryanair, today (25 May), repaid its last €1.2 billion bond leaving the Ryanair Group effectively debt free as it faces into a challenging summer of growth, at low fares. This is the first time since Ryanair floated in 1997 that the airline has repaid all the debt, leaving it with an unencumbered fleet of 620 B737 aircraft.

 ***Ryanair Group CFO, Neil Sorahan, said:***

"Today is a historic day for Ryanair as our Group, following repayment of our final €1.2bn bond, is now effectively debt free. Our fortress balance sheet is underpinned by an unencumbered B737 fleet of 620 aircraft, solid ratings (BBB+) from both Fitch Ratings and S&P and strong liquidity. This financial strength further widens the cost gap between Ryanair and our competitors, many of whom are exposed to expensive (long-term) debt and aircraft leases and will enable Ryanair to continue to grow traffic at much lower fares than our competitors, bringing even more value to consumers all over Europe.

We raised this last remaining €1.2bn bond during the Covid crisis and we wish to sincerely thank our bond holders for their strong support over many years. We look forward to (opportunistically) revisiting the bond markets at some stage in the future as we grow passenger traffic to 300m p.a. by FY34 and take up to 50 Boeing MAX-10 deliveries annually from 2029 onward."

Forward looking statements are based on management's beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Ryanair has no obligation to update any forward looking statements contained in this release, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Among the factors that are subject to change and could significantly impact Ryanair's expected results and the price of its securities are the airline pricing environment, fuel costs, competition from new and existing carriers, market prices for the maintenance and replacement of aircraft, costs associated with environmental, safety and security measures, actions of the Irish, U.K., European Union ("EU") and other governments and their respective regulatory agencies, litigation, post-Brexit uncertainties, changes in the structure of the European Union, any further change in the restrictions on the ownership of Ryanair's ordinary shares and the voting rights of its shareholders and ADR holders, including as a result of regulatory changes or the actions of Ryanair itself, weather related disruptions, ATC strikes and staffing related disruptions, aircraft availability and delays in the delivery of contracted aircraft, dependence on external service providers and key personnel, supply chain disruptions, tariffs, fluctuations in corporate tax rates, currency exchange rates and interest rates, airport access and charges, labour relations, the economic environment of the airline industry, the general economic environment in Ireland, the U.K. and Continental Europe, continued acceptance of low fares airlines, the general willingness of passengers to travel, war, geopolitical uncertainty and other economic, social and political factors, significant outbreaks of airborne disease and global pandemics such as Covid-19 and unforeseen security events, terrorist attacks and cyber-attacks.
