Lufthansa reports Q1 loss as forecast, braces for possible trade fallout
BERLIN, April 29 (Reuters) - Lufthansa on Tuesday reported a first-quarter loss in line with expectations as it faces growing investor concern over knock-on effects to consumer spending and demand from U.S. President Donald Trump's tariff threats.
During the first three months of 2025, the German flag carrier generated an adjusted loss before interest and taxes (EBIT) of 722 million euros ($822.14 million) compared with a 718-million-euro loss forecast by analysts in a company-led poll.
The German flag carrier confirmed its outlook for the full year, forecasting adjusted EBIT to be "significantly higher" than the previous year, as it warned of uncertainties due to trade tensions between the United States, Europe and other regions.
The company said it has set up "a task force to closely monitor current developments and, if necessary, respond quickly and flexibly to any weakening in demand, for example by adjusting capacity".
