Irish low-cost carrier Ryanair has reported a profit after tax of \u20ac1.61 billion for the 2024-2025 fiscal year, representing a drop of 16% compared to the previous fiscal year, when it posted a \u20ac1.92 billion profit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The airline attributed the profit drop to pricing pressure, which has led to average fares being 7% lower compared to the preceding year. A modest increase in ancillary revenue (+1%) has not been enough to offset the lower ticket prices.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ryanair, however, has continued to grow, setting new records on the operational front. The Irish airline reached the 200 million passenger mark<\/a> for the first time in its history, after registering a 9% increase in passenger numbers.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the pricing pressure has translated into slower revenue growth. Total revenue increased by 4%, from \u20ac13.44 to \u20ac13.92 billion, not enough to outpace operational cost inflation of 9%. Ryanair did manage to keep its cost per passenger flat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a note announcing the annual results, Ryanair also boasted about its financial health and the returns it is delivering to its shareholders. The low-cost carrier, which is holding a \u20ac4 billion gross cash position, bought back shares equivalent to 7% of its capital during the latest fiscal year and plans to distribute a \u20ac0.227 per share dividend in September 2025. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

When it comes to its future, Ryanair reiterated its plan to keep adding capacity to its fleet as soon as more 737 MAX aircraft roll out of Boeing\u2019s factory.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
