Better prepared for Brexit (1)
1. Structure and flying rights:
• Robust post Brexit structure
o Three airlines in place: United Kingdom, Austria, Switzerland
• Had confirmation that as long as the UK reciprocates the EU will allow UK carriers to fly to and from the EU
• The majority of our network would be unaffected anyway
2. Operations – Robust solutions: % of current
• Safety and regulatory – grace period on safety certificates and spare parts Flows capacity
o Incremental spare parts now split between the UK and Europe UK – EU27 35%
• People: All other 65%
o Pilot Licenses
o Recruiting crew in the right places
o Some residence rights to accrue to UK and EU citizens
• Aircraft in the right place – UK (170), Europe (117), Switzerland (28)

Confident that flying will continue even in the event of a no deal Brexit
37
Better prepared for Brexit (2)
3. Ownership:
• 47% EEA ownership at present
• Articles of Association allow the Board to take action to satisfy ownership and control requirements
• Including the right to suspend voting rights and/or forcing shareholders to sell their shares
• easyJet has no current intention to do this but will keep its options open whilst Brexit negotiations are ongoing

4. Consumer demand:
• UK demand remains strong – H2 bookings ahead of last year
• Flexible and disciplined fleet allocation to drive highest returns

5. Financially strong
• BBB+, Baa1
• High levels of liquidity

Confident that flying will continue even in the event of a no deal Brexit

Appendix
Adoption of IFRS 15
Change in accounting:
• Revenue recognition from certain revenue streams, principally administration and change fees, will be recognised on the date of flight
rather than the date of booking.
• Some of the compensation payments made to customers (in respect of flight delays), previously recorded wholly within expenses, will be
offset against revenues recognised, with the excess compensation continuing to be recorded within expenses.

Impact on adoption on 1 October 2018:


• A one-off £80 million increase to unearned revenues will be recognised with a corresponding charge to retained earnings (in respect of
bookings made in the year ended 30 September 2018 and recognsied in revenue in FY’18, for flights in the following financial year). These
revenues will be recognised again in FY’19 at the date of flight.

FY’19 impact:
• The anticipated full year profit impact of this change is expected to be immaterial.
• A higher proportion of annual revenues will be recognised in the second half of the year (approximately £40 million of revenue will be
deferred until H2).
• Revenue and cost are both expected to decrease by approximately £20 million as a result of the reclassification of compensation
payments.

41
Adoption of IFRS 16
Change in accounting:
• All aircraft operating leases will be capitalised on the balance sheet as a right-of use asset with a corresponding lease
liability representing easyJet’s obligation to make lease payments. Lease costs previously recognised within the Income
Statement will be replaced by depreciation and interest expense.
• Contractual maintenance obligations which are dependent on the use of the aircraft will continue to be provided for
over the term of the lease based on the estimate future costs, discounted to present value. However they will be
capitalised to the right-of-use asset and depreciated immediately rather than recognised within maintenance costs in
the Income Statement.
Impact on adoption on 1 October 2018:
• Approximately £545 million of lease liabilities and £510 million of Right of Use Assets will be recognised, with a
corresponding decrease to retained earnings.
FY’19 impact:
• The anticipated full year profit impact of this change is expected to be immaterial.
• IFRS 16 is not expected to have a material impact on the Income statement as the annual operating lease expenses
and maintenance charges will be replaced by anticipated similar levels of depreciation and interest expense.
• Headline ROCE is expected to improve by circa 1.5 percentage points.
