Gatwick ‘optimistic' minister will approve expansion plan
Gatwick airport's outgoing boss said he is 'optimistic' the airport's expansion plan will be approved. Chief executive Stewart Wingate claimed the benefits from the West Sussex airport bringing its emergency runway into routine would last 'for generations'. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has a deadline of October 27 to decide whether to give the go-ahead to the proposal. Gatwick submitted a modified development consent order (DCO) application after the Cabinet minister announced in February she would back the scheme if adjustments were made, covering issues such as noise mitigation and the proportion of passengers who would travel to and from the airport by public transport. The project would see Gatwick move the emergency runway 12 metres north, enabling it to be used for departures of narrow-bodied planes such as Airbus A320s and Boeing 737s. This would increase the airport's capacity by around 100,000 flights a year. Gatwick's plan also involves remodelling and replacing existing taxiways – which connect runways to terminals, hangars and other facilities – extending both terminals, and installing new aircraft gates. Local campaigners opposed to expansion are concerned about the impact on surface transport, noise, housing provision and wastewater treatment, but the airport insists it has conducted 'full and thorough assessments' of those issues. Mr Wingate said: 'The critical final decision on our northern runway plans is just weeks away and follows a rigorous and lengthy planning process. 'I remain optimistic the Secretary of State will approve our privately-financed, shovel-ready plans to unlock further growth for London Gatwick and the UK economy, generating new jobs, trade and tourism opportunities for generations to come.' Gatwick says its plans would create £1 billion per year in economic benefits and generate an additional 14,000 jobs. Mr Wingate will start his new role as managing director for UK airports for Vinci Airports and Global Infrastructure Partners on September 1, overseeing the future development and strategic direction of Gatwick, Edinburgh and Belfast International airports. His replacement at Gatwick will be Pierre-Hugues Schmit, currently Vinci Airports's chief commercial officer. Gatwick announced on Thursday its underlying earnings for the first six months of the year were £262 million.

Release Date: August 14, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Suncorp Group Ltd (SNMCY) reported a net profit after tax of $1.823 billion, supported by the sale of Suncorp Bank and New Zealand Li operations. The underlying insurance trading result increased by 20% to $1.566 billion, reflecting strong business performance. The company announced a $400 million buyback, demonstrating confidence in its financial position and commitment to returning capital to shareholders. Investment returns were significant contributors to the financial results, showcasing the resilience of investment markets and the outperformance of the manager panel. Suncorp Group Ltd (SNMCY) declared a final ordinary dividend of $0.49 per share, bringing the full-year dividend to $0.90 per share, the highest since 2008. Negative Points Natural hazard costs were $1.355 billion, although $205 million below the allowance, they remain a significant expense. The company experienced deteriorating loss ratios in both the Queensland and New South Wales CTP portfolios. Elevated fire and water claims in the home insurance segment impacted margins. The New Zealand commercial market faced competitive pressures, impacting growth. The company noted ongoing challenges with insurance affordability and the impact of natural hazard claims. Q & A Highlights Q: Can you discuss the quarterly trends in Home and Motor insurance, particularly in the third and fourth quarters? A: Steven Johnston, CEO, explained that the company maintained a disciplined approach to pricing, ensuring they stayed ahead of inflation. In Q3, they observed a moderation in inflationary factors, especially in motor insurance, which allowed them to adjust pricing and increase marketing in Q4. This led to a positive response in the portfolio, with volumes picking up and continuing into FY26. Q: How did the reinsurance renewal impact your strategy, and what are your future plans regarding reinsurance? A: Jeremy Robson, CFO, noted that the reinsurance market was bifurcated, with favorable conditions for main covers but constrained and expensive aggregate covers. The company benefited from lower costs and maintained similar risk retention. They remain open to future reinsurance opportunities if they align with their strategic framework for optimizing capital and shareholder value. Q: What is the breakdown of the 13% growth in the natural hazard allowance? A: Jeremy Robson explained that half of the increase is due to exposure and inflation, while the other half is an increase in sufficiency. The changes in reinsurance did not impact the natural hazard allowance. Q: Can you provide insights into the inflation environment and your assumptions for next year? A: Steven Johnston highlighted that motor insurance inflation is moderating due to improved supply chain and repair shop capacity. However, home insurance faces challenges with fire and water claims, driven by factors like lithium batteries and flexi pipes. Jeremy Robson added that home inflation was in the high single digits last year and is expected to decrease, while motor inflation remains in the mid-single digits. Q: How do you view potential M&A opportunities, and what areas would you prioritize? A: Steven Johnston stated that while their bias is towards organic growth, they are open to inorganic opportunities, particularly in the commercial and New Zealand sectors. They will consider opportunities that align with their strategic goals and offer potential for growth.

Non-UK Energy Customers: Doubled to 2.7 million. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Sign with OGFGF. Release Date: August 13, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Positive Points Origin Energy Ltd (OGFGF) reported an Energy Markets' EBITDA of $1.404 billion, exceeding guidance. The company achieved a significant increase in customer accounts, growing by 104,000. Cost to serve was reduced by $50 million, indicating improved operational efficiency. APLNG production was in line with guidance, and LNG trading reached the top end of guidance with trading gains of $441 million. The company declared a final fully-franked dividend of $0.30 per share, supported by a strong balance sheet and cash flow outlook. Negative Points Octopus' EBITDA was at a loss of $88 million, attributed to investment in global growth and unseasonably warm weather. Integrated Gas' APLNG's EBITDA decreased by 3% due to lower production and realized LNG prices. Net debt increased to $4.6 billion, driven by investments in battery projects. The company faces challenges in predicting market volatility and plant availability, which could impact future earnings. There is uncertainty regarding the future capital requirements and potential equity contributions for the separation of Octopus and Kraken. Q & A Highlights Q: Just on the guidance for Origin's share of Octopus Energy EBITDA. It's been a little bumpy the last year or two. Can you just please share a little bit more color on the drivers of the wide range for fiscal '26, including the potential draw from the growth being pursued in the UK in the Energy Services division? A: Tony Lucas, Executive General Manager - Future Energy and Technology: There's been a few ups and downs this year with the weather, the settlement of the energy price guarantee, and some accounting adjustments. We increased the range compared to last year to account for increased investment in non-UK Retail and improvements in the Energy Services business. The non-UK Retail can adjust based on market performance, driving growth spend. Energy Services aims to optimize field force, increase sales, and unit margins. Q: Could you comment on how Origin is minded to deploy any proceeds it might receive from a potential value realization opportunity relating to Origin's interest in Kraken? A: Frank Calabria, CEO: We're focused on the separation of those businesses, which leads to choices and opportunities. We will assess investments based on the best choices for allocating capital. If Kraken becomes a separate entity, it will present choices, and we'll keep the market informed. It's early to predict how we might realize value, but we're supportive of the separation. Q: You've achieved electricity portfolio margin through the top end of that medium-term target range. Do you still expect this margin to grow during the period you continue to operate Eraring and the additional battery earnings into the business? A: Tony Lucas, Executive General Manager - Future Energy and Technology: With Eraring continuing to run and as we bring the batteries in, we expect to be near or above the top end of that medium-term target. The key risks are plant availability and market volatility. Q: Just wondering how you're thinking about further equity contributions, net to Origin, before a possible IPO of Kraken? A: Frank Calabria, CEO: Separating out Kraken needs to ensure both groups have capital for growth. We continue to assess each on their merits. If an equity raise occurs, it will depend on the purpose and merits. No firm decision has been made yet. Q: Could you share your latest thoughts on how electricity margins could change over the next few years when Eraring closes? A: Tony Lucas, Executive General Manager - Future Energy and Technology: We originally set the $25 to $40 per megawatt hour range, expecting to stay within it post-Eraring. Eraring's contribution is stronger than forecasted due to slower renewable transition. Batteries will make a material contribution by FY26. Coal earnings may fall as more renewables come in, but we're confident in staying within the range.
