Underlying PBT
Impact of Natural Disasters and Rolls-Royce Engine Failure
The Group’s result was achieved while overcoming signicant external and operational challenges during the year. Qantas has demonstrated
its commitment to safety and its resilience in responding to these challenges. However the frequency and severity of events in compared
to previous years has resulted in a material unfavourable impact on the Group’s results.
There were several signicant weather events and natural disasters during the year. Lost revenues and customer care costs net of variable
cost savings resulted in a total unfavourable nancial impact of $ million. This included disruptions caused by ash from the Chilean volcano,
the earthquake and tsunami in Japan, the earthquake in Christchurch, the Queensland oods and Cyclones Yasi and Carlos.
results include the nancial impact of the Rolls-Royce engine failure on Qantas ight and the subsequent temporary grounding of the
Airbus A eet. The results also include the settlement agreed with Rolls-Royce ($ million) which offsets the direct nancial losses incurred.
. Underlying PBT is the primary reporting measure used by Management and the Board to assess the nancial performance of the Group. All line items are adjusted to reect the
