More food for thought on Gulf carrier threat

■ Long term theme of Gulf price competition requires bold action: AF

KLM (UP, TP €6.50) management hosted a sell-side analyst dinner last night

where intense competition from Gulf carriers proved a key theme. With

APAC unit revenue declining yoy for six of the past eight quarters, AF

increasingly feels it needs the support of multiple partners to achieve

acceptable returns in the fragmented market. This also emphasises the

challenges faced by LHA (UP, TP €12.30). Conversely, Transatlantic market

conditions seem stronger than 2014 with mgt confident, which we expect to

help IAG (OP, TP 678p, CS Focus List), despite persistent LatAm softness.

■ Race to partner up – potentially plentiful appetite for Singapore's hand:

Beyond current JV partners China Southern/China Eastern, necessary as

Gulf carriers increasingly soften China pricing, AF said that it seeks to agree

a JV with Etihad, and supplement this with another JV with a Southeast

Asian carrier like Singapore Airlines (N, TP S$12.20), Garuda (UP, TP

Rp485) or Malaysia. Garuda seems most plausible in our view as a

SkyTeam partner. We re-iterate that we see deepening IAG-Qatar Airways,

AF-Etihad partnerships potentially compelling LHA to do a JV with STAR

alliance partners SQ or Turkish (OP, TP TL8.00).

AF ambitions – quality versus quantity question

While we expect to see Air France KLM to continue to develop its JV partnerships with

China Southern and China Eastern, its options elsewhere in the ME/APAC region are less

clear:

Despite commencing co-operation with Etihad (EY) in 2012, it has since been

unable to agree a joint venture due to the imbalance between potential EY

contributions to AF KL and AF KL benefits for EY. In the meantime, EY has

invested in Alitalia and has prompted an Alitalia strategy review focussed on

feeding Abu Dhabi.

Garuda seems the most likely SE Asia partner given Malaysia Airlines is now part

of oneworld (and clearly highly challenged) while Singapore Airlines (the only

viable airline in the region) is part of STAR alliance with strong relationships with

Lufthansa and Turkish Airlines. Garuda has a limited presence in Europe which

would provide complementarity to AF, while GA also have a tie-up with EY

potentially facilitating a clearly more powerful tri-partite approach to serving SEA

and with less overlap than bilateral, route-specific deals with SQ where AF may

run the risk of settling for second place relative to LH over the long term.

Jet in India, also part of the Etihad equity alliance (EY holds 24%), may well help

AF in India.

We consider it natural that AF would look to supplement existing JVs with Delta on the

transatlantic, a building Gol relationship following a 2014 strategic agreement with the

Brazilian carrier, and China Southern-China Eastern JVs. However, while building 3-4 JVs

to serve a fragmented APAC market is logical, it also carries branding risk should AF

partner up with lower quality carriers. We also consider it a possibility that AF can look to

tap Air Berlin (another EY equity alliance member) feed for its Transatlantic, LatAm and

West Africa routes.

Local problems may become pan-European problems

On European short haul, AF plans to revive its parked Transavia Europe project - we

retain the view that a low level of market acceptance for Transavia outside its home

markets (where it is loss making) would make it difficult to compete with Ryanair and

easyJet as well as local carriers as it ramps up from a nil base, funded by a parent with a

strong balance sheet. Growth ambitions also run the risk of distracting management from

the central challenge to stop medium haul losses and we think both AF and LHA need to

follow Iberia's lead in achieving structural cost base change at their hubs, rather than

primarily focussing on enhancing peripheral short haul businesses.

Lufthansa looking increasingly strategically

vulnerable

In our view, IAG and QR developing a more integrated partnership, alongside Air France

KLM and Etihad co-operation, presents a significant risk to Lufthansa. We highlighted on

20 January that Alitalia's new strategy under Etihad stewardship presents more challenges

("LHA: Alitalia's strategy an incremental threat") as EY seeks to divert more and more

traffic away from Lufthansa hubs and via Abu Dhabi, and a further strengthening of

competitors on eastern routes would clearly strip revenue more away from Lufthansa.

Intensifying competitive threats likely to prove costly

Lufthansa 2014E ME-APAC-Africa revenue likely reached €5bn, compared to the c€2bn

we assume for IAG – losing just 1% of this would have a €50m impact on LHA. Losing

Page 4: Global Airlines - Credit Suisse

24 February 2015

Global Airlines 4

€200m over time, equivalent to our scenario where IAG gains a further 1% share in these

markets, would represent a loss of 12% of LHA's 2015E underlying operating result on our

numbers. At a time when Ryanair is planning on quadrupling its German market share,

continued intensification of competitive threats are a real worry for LHA – particularly if fuel

price benefits are competed away and restructuring progress slows due to a perceived fuel

price reprieve.

WINGS only a small step forward

Lufthansa expects to launch its new long haul low cost venture WINGS, with SunExpress

Deutschland (a LHA-Turkish Airlines JV), by end-2015. Initial destinations will include

Florida, Southern Africa and the Indian Ocean. However, we consider its plan to operate

seven aircraft sub-scale (three initially) and the announcement of this move in mid-2014

plainly provides competitors with a large window to consider appropriate responses.

LHA may be compelled to turn to Singapore and/or Turkish

It operates JVs with ANA and Air China focused on markets that are arguably less

susceptible to Gulf carrier competitive threat because of route right limitations or the

geographic unfeasibility of viable sixth freedom packages over the Gulf States. We think

LHA is being left behind somewhat on eastern routes ex-North Asia, and may be

compelled to agree a broader partnership with Turkish Airlines (having ended codeshares

in 2013 due to TK encroachment in Germany) or Singapore Airlines (SQ) or both parties.

Both TK and SQ are Star Alliance members, like LHA.

The airline most under threat and yet the best positioned is SQ, in our view. SQ is the

most levered to EU markets of our entire APAC universe and has consistently lost share to

the Gulf carriers over the past five years. At the same time, its financial resources and

superior branding (relative, say, to a Thai Airways or Malaysian Airlines that are similarly

impacted) make it the most likely to mount a competitive response. SQ has a history of

bilateral alliances with LHA, including its WoW cargo JV, which would make any

conversations between the two easier to turn into actions than with other parties in the

APAC region. Given LHA's JVs with other Asian carriers further North, a deeper alliance

with SQ seems a natural development, in our view.

Emirates launched a JV with Qantas in 2013 but we do not expect partnership appetite

from LHA.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.
