QUARTERLY FACT SHEET

DORIC NIMROD AIR ONE LIMITED

LSE: DNA

The Company

Doric Nimrod Air One Limited (“the Company”) is a Guernsey domiciled company, which is listed on the Specialist Fund Segment (SFS) of the London Stock Exchange’s Main Market. The Company has purchased one Airbus A380-861 aircraft, manufacturer’s serial number (MSN) 016, which it has leased for an initial term of 12 years, with fixed lease rentals for the duration, to Emirates Airline (“Emirates”), the national carrier owned by the Investment Corporation of Dubai, based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Investment Strategy

The Company’s investment objective is to obtain income returns and a capital return for its shareholders by acquiring, leasing and then selling a single aircraft. The Company receives income from the lease, and targets a gross distribution to the shareholders of 2.25 pence per share per quarter (9p per annum). It is anticipated that income distributions will continue to be made quarterly.

The total return for a shareholder investing today (30 September 2018) at the current share price consists of future income distributions during the remaining lease duration and a return of capital at dissolution of the Company. The latter payment is subject to the future value and the respective sales proceeds of the aircraft, quoted in US dollars and the USD/GBP exchange rate at that point in time. Since launch, three independent appraisers have provided the Company with their future values for the aircraft at the end of each financial year. The latest appraisals available are dated the end of March 2018. The table No I below summarises the total return components, calculated on different exchange rates and using the appraised value of the aircraft, which is the average of valuations provided by three independent external appraisers and quoted in US dollars. This residual value at lease expiry takes inflation into account and is the most reliable estimate available in the Company’s Asset Manager’s opinion. Due to accounting standards, the value used in the Company’s financial reports differs from this disclosure as it excludes the effects of inflation and is converted to sterling at the prevailing exchange rate on the reporting date (e.g. 31 March 2018).

The contracted lease rentals are calculated and paid in US dollars to satisfy debt interest and principal, and in sterling to satisfy dividend distributions and Company running costs, which are in sterling. The Company is, therefore, insulated from foreign currency market volatility during the term of the lease.

With reference to the following two tables, there is no guarantee that the aircraft will be sold at such a sale price or that such capital returns would be generated. It is also assumed that the lessee will honour all its contractual obligations during the entire anticipated lease term:

Asset Manager’s Comment

1. The Doric Nimrod Air One Airbus A380

The Airbus A380 is registered in the United Arab Emirates under the registration mark A6-EDC. For the period from original delivery of the aircraft to Emirates in November 2008 until the end of August 2018, a total of 5,178 flight cycles were logged. Total flight hours were 43,003. This equates to an average flight duration of around eight hours and 20 minutes.

The A380 owned by the Company visited Bangkok, Melbourne, Milan, Munich, Sydney, and Tokyo during the third quarter of 2018.

Maintenance Status

Emirates maintains its A380 aircraft fleet based on a maintenance programme according to which minor maintenance checks are performed every 1,500 flight hours, and more significant maintenance checks (C checks) at 36 month or 18,000 flight hour intervals, whichever occurs first. The increased C check interval allows for a higher aircraft availability due to lower downtime.

Emirates bears all costs (including for maintenance, repairs and insurance) relating to the aircraft during the lifetime of the lease.

2. Market Overview

Growth in passenger traffic, measured in global revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs), has remained in line with the forecast of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). The industry body expected the pace of RPK growth to slow slightly during this calendar year relative to that of last year. This is largely due to upward pressure on airline input costs, particularly from higher fuel prices, which has translated into a reduced boost to demand from lower airfares. Nevertheless, RPKs increased by 6.9% over the first seven months of 2018 compared to the same period in 2017, continuing the above-trend RPK growth.

Industry-wide capacity, measured in available seat kilometres (ASK), increased by 6.1% during the first seven months of this year, resulting in a 0.7 percentage point increase in worldwide passenger load factors (PLFs) to 81.9% compared to the same period last year. Between January and July 2018, passenger load factors of Middle East based carriers remained unchanged at 74.7%.

RPK growth in the Middle East has increased by 4.7% since the beginning of the year. While the region has been adversely impacted by a number of policy measures in recent years, including the temporary ban on portable electronic devices and travel restrictions for certain categories of passengers, IATA notes that there are tentative signs of a pick-up in the upward trend in passenger volumes, which could develop in the coming months.

Asia/Pacific-based operators remain the top performers in overall market demand. Through July 2018, RPKs increased by 9.7% compared to the previous period. Latin America ranked second with 6.4% followed closely by Europe with 6.3%. North America saw an increase of 5.1%. Africa experienced the slowest growth at a rate of 2.8%.

In 2018, IATA forecasts that airlines’ fuel bill will increase to USD 188 billion representing 24.2% of average operating costs. IATA expects an average price of USD 70 per barrel for jet fuel for this year, according to its mid-year report released in June, as jet fuel prices continue to rise with oil prices.

3. Lessee – Emirates Key Financials

In the 2017/18 financial year ending on 31 March 2018, Emirates recorded its 30^th consecutive year of profit with a net result of AED 2.8 billion (USD 762 million), an improvement of 124% compared to the previous financial year, leading to a profit margin of 3.0%. Despite continuing political challenges impacting traveller demand and fare adjustments due to a highly competitive business environment, Emirates increased its revenue to AED 92.3 billion (USD 25.2 billion). This was aided by the decline of the US dollar against currencies in most of Emirates’ key markets, which had an AED 661 million (USD 180 million) positive impact on the airline’s bottom line.

Emirates’ overall passenger traffic continued to grow during the 2017/18 financial year. The airline carried a record 58.5 million passengers (a 4% increase over last financial year) and achieved a passenger load factor of 77.5% compared to last year’s 75.1%. The increase in the passenger load factor was the result of capacity management in response to political uncertainty and strong competition in many markets despite a moderate 2% increase in seat capacity.

Total operating costs increased by 7% over the previous financial year, largely due to the 15% increase in the average price of jet fuel during the financial year. Including a 3% uplift in line with capacity expansion, the airline’s fuel bill increased by 18% to AED 24.7 billion (USD 6.7 billion) compared to the previous financial year. Fuel now accounts for 28% of operating costs, compared to 25% in the 2016/17 financial year, and it remains the largest cost category for the airline.

As of 31 March 2018, Emirates’ balance sheet amounted to AED 127.6 billion (USD 34.8 billion), an increase of 5% compared to the previous financial year. Total equity increased by 5.6% to AED 37.0 billion (USD 10.1 billion) due to higher profit which was partially offset by dividend payments to the owners amounting to AED 1.0 billion (USD 272 million). The equity ratio remained stable at nearly 29%. The airline’s cash balance amounted to AED 20.4 billion (USD 5.6 billion) at the end of the period, up by AED 4.7 billion (USD 1.3 billion) compared to the previous financial year. Proceeds from the Sukuk financing of AED 2.2 billion (USD 600 million) issued in the last quarter of the financial year have been invested in short term bank deposits and will be used to finance aircraft deliveries in 2018/19.The current ratio stood at 0.84, meaning the airline would be able to meet over 80% of its current liabilities by liquidating all its current assets. Changes on the liabilities’ side of the balance sheet included the financing of seven new aircraft and the Sukuk issue, which were offset by repayments of finance lease liabilities, bonds and term loans.

Maintaining its strategy to operate a young and efficient fleet, Emirates received 17 new aircraft, comprising of eight A380s and nine Boeing 777-300ERs. During this time, eight older aircraft were phased out, leading to a total fleet count of 268 at the end of March. This fleet roll-over resulted in an average fleet age of 5.7 years. Due to the more moderate fleet renewal pace compared to the previous year, the figure increased by around 6 months. Funding has come from the Japanese structured finance market in conjunction with debt from a wide-ranging group of institutions in China, France, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Emirates raised over AED 3.7 billion (USD 1 billion) during the year from this source. Emirates has also refinanced a commercial bridge facility (due to non-availability of ECA cover) of AED 3.8 billion (USD 1.0 billion) using a finance lease structure for five A380 aircraft, accessing an institutional investor and bank market base from Korea, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the Middle East. In total, Emirates raised AED 17.9 billion (USD 4.9 billion) using a variety of financing structures.

In July 2018 Emirates and JetBlue announced the expansion of their codeshare on flights to Mexico City with new flights from both Boston and New York JFK. The announcement followed the close of a years-long dispute between the Gulf carriers and the US mainline carriers over open skies agreements. According to FlightGlobal, Emirates markets more than 3,200 flights weekly operated by Alaska Airlines and JetBlue under existing codeshare agreements. Emirates also plans to extend its partnership with Qantas-affiliated Jetstar Group through a codeshare covering domestic services in Vietnam as well as flights from Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore, Bangkok, and Australia.

As of 1 October 2018 Emirates will resume a daily service to Edinburgh, the second most visited city by tourists in the United Kingdom (UK) and the capital of Scotland. This will bring the number of destinations serviced in the UK to eight.

4. Aircraft – A380

As of mid-September 2018, Emirates operated a fleet of 105 A380s, which currently serve 47 destinations within its global network via its hub in Dubai. A380 destinations include: Amsterdam, Auckland, Bangkok, Barcelona, Beijing, Birmingham, Brisbane, Casablanca, Christchurch, Copenhagen, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Houston, Johannesburg, Kuala Lumpur, Kuwait, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Los Angeles, Madrid, Manchester, Mauritius, Melbourne, Milan, Moscow, Mumbai, Munich, New York JFK, Nice, Paris, Perth, Prague, Rome, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, Taipei, Tokyo Narita, Toronto, Vienna, Washington, and Zurich. In October 2018 Emirates will add Hamburg and Osaka to its A380 network.

As of mid-September 2018, the global A380 fleet consisted of 226 commercially operated planes in service. The fourteen operators are Emirates (105), Singapore Airlines (19), Deutsche Lufthansa (14), Qantas (12), British Airways (12), Korean Air Lines (10), Etihad Airways (10), Air France (10), Qatar Airways (10), Malaysia Airlines (6), Thai Airways (6), Asiana Airlines (6), China Southern Airlines (5) and Hi Fly (1). Another two are listed as in storage. In addition, two A380s are earmarked for part-out after the owners of the aircraft voted for such a solution. The number of undelivered A380 orders stood at 101.

In July 2018 the Portuguese wet-lease operator Hi Fly showcased its A380 at the Farnborough International Airshow. After being in service with Singapore Airlines for more than ten years, this is the first A380 ever to be placed through the secondary market. Since then it has been flying for carriers such as Thomas Cook Airlines Scandinavia, Norwegian and Air Austral to destinations in Europe, North America, and the Indian Ocean. The said aircraft is managed by Doric, the asset manager of the Company.

August 2018 marked the tenth anniversary of Emirates’ first ever A380 flight. Over the last decade the airline has carried more than 105 million passengers on 115,000 A380 flights, clocking the equivalent to 39,000 trips around the globe. While constantly adding new A380s to its fleet, the Dubai-based operator counts more than 80 daily departures from its hub, including the world’s shortest and the world’s longest A380 non-stop route.

Emirates has announced it will operate the A380 between Dubai and St. Petersburg for a limited period in October this year. The decision was made in response to increased demand for travel during the autumn school holidays and marks the first time an A380 has operated to St. Petersburg.
