Key Points

Middle East conflict causing $50m leisure earnings reduction
Up to $200m issued capital buy-back planned

Full Summary

Flight Centre Travel Group Limited (FLT) has revised its FY26 profit guidance to $275m-$295m underlying profit before tax (UPBT) due to the significant short-term impact of the Middle East conflict on international leisure travel. The new midpoint is broadly in line with FY25's $286m UPBT. The conflict is expected to reduce leisure earnings by approximately $50m, with further impacts on touring businesses and FX translation. Despite these disruptions, FLT's corporate business remains on track for strong profit growth. The company also announced an up to $200m on-market issued capital buy-back, reflecting confidence in its recovery and outlook.

Guidance

FY26 UPBT guidance revised to $275m-$295m, midpoint $285m

Outlook

FLT anticipates a temporary disruption in leisure earnings due to the Middle East conflict, with a potential $50m reduction. The corporate business remains on track for strong profit growth.
