Virgin Australia、2026年度の業績見通しは変更なし、下半期のEBITは上昇が見込まれると発表

By

-- Virgin Australia Holdings(ASX:VGN)は、2026年度の業績見通しに変更はなく、下半期の実質的な利払い・税引き前利益(EBIT)および実質的なEBITマージンは前年同期を上回る見込みであると、水曜日にオーストラリア証券取引所に提出した書類で発表した。

同社は、2026年度下半期の残りの期間について、ブレント原油価格の92%、精製マージンの71%をヘッジしている。2026年度下半期におけるヘッジされていないブレント原油価格および精製マージンへのエクスポージャーは、燃料費を約3,000万豪ドルから4,000万豪ドル増加させる見込みである。

同社は、燃料費および空港使用料などのその他の運営費の増加による影響を相殺するため、下半期の航空運賃と座席供給量を調整した。同社の燃料供給業者は、5月まで運航を支える航空燃料の短期的な供給について保証している。

座席キロ当たりの収益成長率は、従来予想していた下半期3~4%増から、2026年度下半期は約5%増、第4四半期は約6%増に上方修正された。国内線の総輸送能力は、下半期に1%増、第4四半期に1%減となる見込みである。

Virgin Australia が提携航空会社であるQatar Airwaysとのウェットリース契約に基づき運航しているカタール・ドーハ線は、6月中旬まで運休となる。輸送能力を含む2027年度の計画は現在見直しを行っている。

US Natural Gas Update: Futures Rise on Cooler Weather Outlook

US natural gas futures climbed in after-hours trading on Monday as a cooler weather outlook and easing supply conditions triggered some short covering.The front-month Henry Hub contract and the continuous contract both rose 0.75% to $2.542 per million British thermal units.Prices briefly touched an intraday high of around $2.63/MMBtu in earlier trade."Nat-gas prices settled higher on Monday as short covering emerged amid colder US weather forecasts, potentially boosting nat-gas heating demand," Barchart said.Weather-driven demand shifts were a key driver. NatGasWeather.com said models have moved cooler versus last week, adding more heating demand days while reducing cooling demand. The forecaster said the change leaves the outlook less bearish and closer to neutral or slightly bullish.On the demand side, residential and commercial consumption increased sharply to 15.2 billion cubic feet per day from 12.5 Bcf/d as cooler temperatures boosted heating needs. Power burn remained steady at 32.5 Bcf/d and is projected to average 30.3 Bcf/d for the week, up from 29 Bcf/d last week, Gelber & Associates said.Total US natural gas production was flat last week, averaging around 106.5 Bcf/d, NRG Energy said. Trading Economics said output fell by around 4.1 Bcf/d over the past 18 days to an 11-week low of 108.1 Bcf/d, as major producers such as EQT scaled back output in response to low prices.Both NRG Energy and Gelber said Canadian imports fell to 4.7-4.8 Bcf/d from 5.5 Bcf/d.On the export side, Barchart, citing BNEF data, said LNG flows were 19.5 Bcf/d, down 2.1% from last week's robust levels. Trading Economics put the April average feedgas flow at 18.9 Bcf/d so far and noted it was near record highs."Today saw cooler forecast revisions, softer production, and steady LNG demand, which offers limited support for prices. That said, overall fundamental balances are not tight enough to fully change the story," Gelber said Monday.
