Growth Story
Revenue grew from SAR 7.56 billion in fiscal 2024 to SAR 7.84 billion in fiscal 2025, representing a steady 3.8% expansion. This growth was primarily driven by the core Flynas LCC segment, which generated SAR 7.09 billion in revenue, while the seasonal Flynas Hajj segment and General Aviation contributed SAR 584.4 million and SAR 173.5 million, respectively. Despite this top-line expansion, the company's 5-year average reinvestment rate stands at -0.34%, leading to a flat sustainable growth rate of -0.05%. This reflects a capital-intensive business model heavily reliant on sale and leaseback transactions to expand its fleet, alongside substantial capital commitments of SAR 36.87 billion for future aircraft purchases.
Profitability Dynamics
On paper, Flynas experienced a sharp drop in profitability in fiscal 2025, reporting an operating loss of SAR 27.02 million and a net loss of SAR 527.00 million, compared to an operating profit of SAR 1.05 billion and net income of SAR 433.51 million in fiscal 2024. However, this decline was driven by massive, non-recurring expenses: a SAR 981.92 million share-based payment charge and SAR 101.05 million in IPO transaction costs. Operationally, the company remained profitable, aided by a SAR 150 million supplier credit that reduced the cost of revenue to mitigate aircraft-on-ground events. Historically, Flynas has demonstrated strong value creation, with a 5-year average ROIC of 15.68% outperforming its WACC of 10.33%, yielding a positive value creation gap of 5.35%.
Risk & Capital Structure
Risk Factors
Flynas carries a highly leveraged capital structure, with total debt reaching SAR 7.47 billion in fiscal 2025, dominated by SAR 5.99 billion in lease liabilities and SAR 1.48 billion in loans. This leverage is reflected in a high relevered beta of 1.73, indicating significant market sensitivity. The company's working capital is currently negative at -SAR 1.44 billion, though liquidity is supported by SAR 4.14 billion in cash and bank deposits, alongside undrawn Murabaha and aircraft purchase facilities totaling SAR 782.2 million. Beyond financial leverage, Flynas faces operational risks, including Middle Eastern airspace closures in early 2026 that have disrupted regional routes, and the ongoing management of aircraft-on-ground exposures.
