LONDON (Reuters) -Lufthansa on Thursday reported operating earnings slightly above expectations as it has struggled to finalize a deal with unions to avoid a potential strike and recover its profits.
The group reported an operating profit of 1.33 billion euros ($1.55 billion), a touch above the 1.32 billion euros projected by analysts polled by LSEG. That’s down 1% from the same quarter last year, when the group reported an operating profit of 1.34 billion euros.
The airline group confirmed its 2025 guidance for operating profit, or earnings before interest, taxes and special items, to be significantly above last year’s 1.6 billion euros.
