I would love to think a dividend is coming but the existing debt level and now an additional $147m AUD loan facility to buy more planes suggest they need every penny to get the debt level down. I estimate the net debt to equity will be around 70% to 75% once this loan is concluded.
Whilst the ''únderlying'' NPBT has increased, their exclusions OF - QUOTE - ''No underlying adjustment has been made for operational and training expenses incurred inbuilding capacity for FY24'' has, in the past proved to be quite substantial.
I also recollect their prior forecast of FY24 NPBT @ $77m which might now be higher given their recent bullish outlook on demand.
