Airbus SE reported first-quarter 2025 results that exceeded analyst expectations, with adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) of €624 million and revenue of €13.54 billion. Net income rose 33% to €793 million. The company confirmed its full-year guidance, targeting the delivery of approximately 820 commercial aircraft and an adjusted EBIT of around €7 billion for 2025. Airbus' order book stood at 8,726 aircraft at the end of March. Despite these results, Airbus warned that new U.S. tariffs have introduced additional complexity and uncertainty to the aviation industry. The company stated it will not cover the cost of tariffs on planes delivered to U.S. customers, such as Delta Air Lines and American Airlines, placing the burden on the airlines. CEO Guillaume Faury said, 'there are only losers in the aerospace industry with new tariffs, especially in the United States,' and called for a return to the 1979 zero-tariff agreement. Airbus is working with affected customers to explore mitigation measures, including alternative delivery routes for international carriers. The company emphasized that it is too early to quantify the direct financial impact of the tariffs, but expects the effect to be manageable if the current framework remains unchanged through year-end. Following the earnings announcement, Airbus shares rose nearly 5%. The broader Paris CAC 40 index also advanced, supported by optimism over potential U.S.-China trade negotiations.
