    Alexander Paterson's questions to RYANAIR HOLDINGS (RYAAY) leadership • Q1 2025

    Question

    Alexander Paterson of Peel Hunt LLP asked about regional variations in fare declines and whether the booking lag for August and September was relative to a plan that was flat year-over-year, implying later bookings.

    Answer

    CEO Michael O'Leary reiterated that the fare weakness was network-wide. He clarified that the booking plan was for flat load factors on 9-10% higher capacity, and the lag was due to failed attempts to increase prices on close-in bookings, not a shift in the overall booking curve.

    Alexander Paterson's questions to Royal Mail plc/ADR (ROYMY) leadership • Q2 2024

    Question

    Inquired about the timeline for seeing service quality improvements from new staff hiring, sought clarification on the recent workforce reduction followed by record hiring, and asked for expectations regarding the Whistl legal case.

    Answer

    Executives stated it's too early to call a trend on service quality but they are hopeful for positive movements soon. The hiring is not to grow FTEs but to cover peak volumes, replace high churn, and shift the workforce mix from agency to more reliable permanent staff. Regarding the Whistl case, the company considers the claim unsubstantiated and will defend it robustly.
