Auckland International Airport Limited (AUKNY) Q4 2026 Earnings Call Transcript

Carrie Hurihanganui Chief Executive [Foreign Language] Welcome, and good morning. With me today is our Chief Financial Officer, Stewart Reynolds, and we are pleased to be able to share financial results for the 12 months 'til 30 June '26. Overall, the year is one of steady performance amid global headwinds. We have seen resilient demand for travel to and from New Zealand as far as from an underlying perspective. And we did see strong momentum in key international and domestic markets in the first half, but certainly proved to be a more challenging second half due to increasing geopolitical instability, most notably the events in the Middle East. The year did see a modest uplift in overall passenger numbers. It saw new capacity announced and/or commenced, continued strength in both operational and commercial performance alongside growing customer satisfaction and tangible progress against our sustainability objectives. As we navigated through these challenges, we have remained focused on disciplined cost management and delivering the resilient and fit-for-purpose gateway that New Zealand needs with $1 billion of assets commissioned in the year and strong momentum continuing on our infrastructure program.
