Transat A.T. Inc. (TRZ) Earnings Call Transcripts

Transat A.T. Inc.'s Latest Earnings Call - Q2 FY2026

In the second quarter of fiscal 2026, Transat A.T. Inc. reported revenues of $1.03 billion, which was stable year-over-year but fell short of expectations due to external pressures, including increased fuel costs and the suspension of operations to Cuba. Adjusted EBITDA was negative $21 million, a significant decline from positive $98 million in the prior year, primarily impacted by $95 million in external factors. Management indicated that while they are implementing measures to mitigate these challenges, the outlook remains volatile with elevated fuel prices expected to continue affecting profitability in the near term.

Reported metrics

Guidance from management

Management expects elevated fuel prices to continue impacting operating results in the second half of the year but anticipates that surcharges and other actions will help partially offset these costs. They are focused on maintaining disciplined cost management and operational execution.

What management said

Yes. So essentially, our hedging strategy, I'm sorry, we were on mute, I believe. So essentially, our hedging strategies with respect to fuel are using options rather than using forwards. So essentially, we're not locking price but rather using strategies that provide a discount mechanism over market prices. And that will be the case for the second half of the year as well.

Yes. We are obviously closely monitoring the situation in collaboration with our suppliers. We have secured the fuel supply that is required to operate our full summer program effect. So our operations are running as planned, and we expect that they will continue to run as planned for the rest of the summer.

What analysts pressed on

Analysts expressed concerns regarding the impact of rising fuel prices on profitability and questioned the effectiveness of fuel surcharges in maintaining demand. There were also inquiries about the company's ability to manage operational inefficiencies related to grounded aircraft and the competitive landscape affecting pricing power.
