Virgin Australia Holdings Limited reported operating results for the month and year to date ended April 2013. For the month, the company reported total passengers carried of 1,533,972 against 1,587,618 a year ago. Available seat kilometers were 3,459 million against 3,321 million a year ago. Revenue load factor was 73.6% against 77.0% a year ago. For year to date, the company reported total passengers carried of 16,155,189 against 16,188,670 a year ago. Available seat kilometers were 34,805 million against 33,000 million a year ago. Revenue load factor was 76.1% against 78.2% a year ago. The company continues to expect to record a positive underlying profit before tax for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013. The company is currently anticipated that underlying profit before tax for fiscal 2013 will be below fiscal 2012. The adverse impact to revenue from the introduction of the Sabre system in the third quarter is not likely to be recovered by the end of fiscal 2013, given the slower than anticipated improvement in trading and economic conditions. Given the slower trading conditions and competitive and weakening economic environment, it is not possible at this time for the company to provide any further profit guidance for fiscal 2013. The company anticipates that capacity growth for the second half of fiscal 2013 will be around 4%, down from previous guidance of 5-7%. The company also expects capacity growth to further moderate into fiscal 2014, with capacity growth for the first half of fiscal 2014 expected to be within the range of 4% to 5%.
