Our strategy is to build the Qantas Group’s competitive advantages and create long-term shareholder value by maximising the strength of our integrated portfolio of businesses and brands.
The breadth of the Group model – with Qantas, Jetstar and Qantas Loyalty – allows us to serve the widest range of customers, gives us greater resilience to external volatility, and enables us to pursue growth opportunities in a range of markets. Our dual brand strategy in domestic Australia is designed to segment and grow the market, maximising Group outcomes.
While we continue to focus on growing earnings from our core domestic and international operations, the Group is also pursuing growth through our investments in Jetstar-branded airlines in Asia and by leveraging our deep customer insights and brand strength for disruptive growth at Qantas Loyalty.
We are focused on driving a permanent shift in our cost base and competitive position across the Group through transformation.
The three-year Qantas Transformation program, launched in December 2013, accelerated our existing change agenda. Our goal was not just to navigate tough short-term conditions, but to permanently increase Qantas’ productivity and competitiveness and embed a culture of transformation across the business.
As at 30 June 2017 $2.13 billion of benefits have been realised. Transformation has been the driving force behind our financial turnaround – and it’s the key to our future success and growth.
Whilst the turnaround program is now complete, transformation is ongoing. Our ongoing transformation target is to deliver gross benefits of $400 million per year from Financial Year 2018 to 2020.
In Financial Year 2018 we achieved $463 million of Transformation benefits, and in Financial Year 2019 we are targeting gross benefits of at least $400 million from a combination of initiatives in the areas of technology, supplier, utilisation, continuous improvements, indirect costs and other Group initiatives.
The Group’s long-term target is to deliver Return on Invested Capital (ROIC) greater than our cost of capital through the cycle. To ensure this, we target average ROIC through the cycle of greater than 10 per cent.
