Notes to the consolidated financial statements
for the year ended 31 March 2016
1. General information
The Group's financial statements consolidate the financial statements of Dart
Group PLC and its subsidiaries and have been prepared and approved by the
Directors in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards
("IFRS"), as adopted by the European Union ("Adopted IFRS").
2. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost
convention except for all derivative financial instruments, which have been
stated at fair value.
Whilst the information included in this preliminary announcement has been
computed in accordance with Adopted IFRS, this announcement does not itself
contain sufficient information to comply with Adopted IFRS. Dart Group PLC
expects to publish full financial statements in August 2016 (see note 9).
The Group utilises foreign exchange forward contracts and monthly fuel swaps
to hedge its exposure to movements in euro and US dollar exchange rates, and
its exposure to jet fuel price movements that arise through its Leisure Travel
activities. The Group also uses forward EU Allowance contracts and forward
Certified Emissions Reduction contracts to hedge exposure to Carbon Emissions
Allowance price volatility. Such derivative financial instruments are stated
at fair value.
Going concern
The Directors have prepared financial forecasts for the Group, comprising
operating profit, balance sheets and cash flows through to 31 March 2019.
For the purpose of assessing the appropriateness of the preparation of the
Group's accounts on a going concern basis, the Directors have considered the
current cash position, the availability of banking facilities, the Group's net
current liability position, and sensitised forecasts of future trading through
to 31 March 2019, including performance against financial covenants and the
assessment of principal areas of uncertainty and risk.
Having considered the points outlined above, the Directors have a reasonable
expectation that the Company and the Group will be able to operate within the
levels of available banking facilities and cash for the foreseeable future.
Consequently, they continue to adopt the going concern basis in preparing the
financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2016.
3. Segmental reporting
Business segments
The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") is responsible for the overall
resource allocation and performance assessment of the Group. The Board of
Directors approves major capital expenditure, assesses the performance of the
Group and also determines key financing decisions. Consequently, the Board of
Directors is considered to be the CODM.
For management purposes, the Group is organised into two operating segments:
Leisure Travel and Distribution & Logistics. These operating segments are
consistent with how information is presented to the CODM for the purpose of
resource allocation and assessment of their performance and as such, they are
also deemed to be the reporting segments.
The Leisure Travel business specialises in scheduled flights by its airline
Jet2.com to holiday destinations in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands and
to European Leisure Cities and the provision of ATOL licensed package holidays
by its tour operator Jet2holidays. Resource allocation decisions are based on
the business's entire route network and the deployment of its entire aircraft
fleet.
The Distribution & Logistics business is run on the basis of the evaluation of
distribution centre-level performance data. However, resource allocation
decisions are made based on the entire distribution network. The objective in
making resource allocation decisions is to maximise the segment results rather
than the results of the individual distribution centres within the network.
Group eliminations include the removal of inter-segment asset and liability
balances.
Following the identification of the operating segments, the Group has assessed
the similarity of their characteristics. Given the different performance
targets, customer bases and operating markets of each, it is not currently
appropriate to aggregate the operating segments for reporting purposes and,
therefore, both are disclosed as reportable segments for the year ended 31
March 2016:
· Leisure Travel, which incorporates the Group's ATOL licensed package
holidays operator, Jet2holidays and its leisure airline, Jet2.com; and
· Distribution & Logistics, incorporating the Group's logistics company,
Fowler Welch.
The Board assesses the performance of each segment based on operating profit,
and profit before and after tax. Revenue from reportable segments is measured
on a basis consistent with the income statement. Revenue is principally
generated from within the UK, the Group's country of domicile.
Segment results, assets and liabilities include items directly attributable to
a segment, as well as those that can be allocated on a reasonable basis. No
customer represents more than 10% of the Group's revenue.
