The Qantas Group (AXS:QAN) report that Hong Kong protests will impact 1H profit performance

The Qantas Group (AXS:QAN) report a fall of 0.9 per cent in domestic revenue through the September quarter due to mixed market conditions.

Revenue growth in the first quarter of FY20, is up 1.8 per cent to a record $4.56 billion compared with $4.49 billion in the prior corresponding period.

Corporate travel demand was flat and small business travel demand growth slowed – but Qantas’ market share in both these segments continued to increase. Premium leisure demand remained steady.

Jetstar International revenue also grew in the quarter, led by strong demand on leisure routes to Asia that offset weakness in markets impacted by the strength of the US Dollar.

Protests in Hong Kong will negatively impact the Group’s first half profit performance by $25 million.
