The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historic-cost criterion, although modified by the valuation at fair value of certain financial instruments.

 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to use its judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies.

(c)Chapter 11 Filing and Going Concern

 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. As disclosed in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company incurred a net loss attributable to owners of the parent of US$ 1,201 million for the period ended June 30, 2021. As of that date, the Company has a negative working capital of US$ 8,080 million and will require additional working capital during 2021 to support a sustainable business operation. As of June 30, 2021, the company has negative equity of US$ 3,650 million, which corresponds to the attributable equity to the owners of the parent.

 

LATAM Group passenger traffic for the period ended June 30, 2021, decreasing by 45.4% compared to the same period in 2020 (73.2% compared to the same period in 2019).

 

On May 26, 2020 (the “Initial Petition Date”), LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Initial Debtors”) filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the “Initial Bankruptcy Filing”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On July 7, 2020 (the “Piquero Petition Date”), Piquero Leasing Limited (“Piquero”) also filed a petition for reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court (the “Piquero Bankruptcy Filing”). On July 9, 2020 (together with the Initial Petition Date and Piquero Petition Date, as applicable, the “Petition Date”), TAM S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries in Brazil (together with the Initial Debtors and Piquero, the “Debtors”) also filed petitions for reorganization (together with the Initial Bankruptcy Filing and the Piquero Bankruptcy Filing, the “Bankruptcy Filing”), as a consequence of the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Bankruptcy Filing for each of the Debtors is being jointly administered under the caption “In re LATAM Airlines Group S.A.” Case Number 20-11254. The Debtors will continue to operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

The Bankruptcy Filing is intended to permit the Company to reorganize and improve liquidity, wind down unprofitable contracts and amend its capacity purchase agreements to enable sustainable profitability. The Company’s goal is to develop and implement a plan of reorganization that meets the standards for confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

As part of their overall reorganization process, the Debtors also have sought and received relief in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions. On May 27, 2020, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands granted the applications of certain of the Debtors for the appointment of provisional liquidators (“JPLs”) pursuant to section 104(3) of the Companies Law (2020 Revision). On June 4, 2020, the 2nd Civil Court of Santiago, Chile issued an order recognizing the Chapter 11 proceeding with respect to the LATAM Airlines Group S.A., Lan Cargo S.A., Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A., Latam Travel Chile II S.A., Lan Cargo Inversiones S.A., Transporte Aéreo S.A., Inversiones Lan S.A., Lan Pax Group S.A. and Technical Training LATAM S.A. All remedies filed against the order have been rejected and the decision is, then, final. Finally, on June 12, 2020, the Superintendence of Companies of Colombia granted recognition to the Chapter 11 proceedings. On July 10, 2020, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands granted the Debtors’ application for the appointment of JPLs to Piquero Leasing Limited.

Operation and Implication of the Bankruptcy Filing

 

The Debtors continue to operate their businesses and manage their properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. As debtors-in-possession, the Debtors are authorized to engage in transactions within the ordinary course of business without prior authorization of the Bankruptcy Court. The protections afforded by the Bankruptcy Code allows the Debtors to operate their business without interruption, and the Bankruptcy Court has granted additional relief including, inter alia, the authority, but not the obligation, to (i) pay amounts owed under certain critical airline agreements; (ii) pay certain third-parties who hold liens or other possessory interests in the Debtors’ property; (iii) pay employee wages and continue employee benefit programs; (iv) pay prepetition taxes and related fees; (v) continue insurance and surety bond programs; (vi) pay certain de minimis litigation judgements or settlements without prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court; (vii) pay fuel supplies; and (viii) pay certain foreign vendors and certain vendors deemed critical to the Debtors’ operations.

 

As debtors-in-possession, the Debtors may use, sell, or lease property of their estates, subject to the Bankruptcy Court’s approval if not otherwise in the ordinary course of business. The Debtors have not yet prepared or filed with the Bankruptcy Court a plan of reorganization, and, pursuant to section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code, have the exclusive right to propose such a plan on or before September 15, 2021, or such later date as may be further ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. The ultimate plan of reorganization, which can only be adopted after meeting all requirements set forth in sections 1126 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code and subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court, could materially change the amounts and classifications in the consolidated financial statements, including the value, if any, of the Debtors’ prepetition liabilities and securities.

 

Events Leading to the Chapter 11 Cases

 

Since the first quarter of 2020, the passenger air transportation business has been affected worldwide by a significant decrease in international air traffic, due to the closure of international borders with the aim of protecting the population from the effects of COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by a new virus, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.

 

LATAM’s preliminary assessment in the beginning of March 2020 indicated previous disease outbreaks have peaked after few months and recovered pre-outbreak levels in no more than 6 to 7 months, and the effect with scenery impacting mainly on Asia Pacific Airlines, indicating impact on Latin America of a marginal decrease of Revenue Per Kilometers forecast.

 

For the Company, the reduction in its operation began in the middle of March 2020 with the announcement of a 30% decrease in its operations and the suspension of the guidance for 2020 in line with protection measures and boarding restrictions implemented by local governments (March 16, 2020 for Peru, Colombia and Argentina, March 18, 2020 for Chile and March 27, 2020 for Brazil). On March 16, 2020, the Company announced an update of its projection to a progressive decrease in its operation up to 70%.

 

15

 

 

By March 29, 2020, COVID 19 had already generated an unprecedented shock on Airlines Industry, specifically on airlines passenger revenue. The situation has both broadened and deepened beyond the initial assessment.

 

In response to COVID 19, governments have been imposing much more severe border restrictions and airlines have been subsequently announcing sharp capacity cuts in response to a dramatic drop in travel demand. On April 2, 2020, the Company announced a decrease in its operation by 95%.

 

In order to protect liquidity, the Company has carried out financial transactions, such as the use of funds from the Revolving Credit Facility (Revolving Credit Facility) for US $ 600 million, which have affected its financial assets and liabilities, especially the items of Cash and cash equivalents and other financial liabilities.

 

In June 2021, the group’s revenues amounted to approximately 36.9% of half-year 2019 revenues. At this time, the pace to meet the pre-COVID demand are uncertain and highly dependent on the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic in the markets in which LATAM Group operates, therefore, management cannot make specific predictions as to this timing, but considers it reasonable to expect that the pace of the demand recovery will be different for each country.

 

Among the initiatives that the Company studied and committed to protect liquidity were the following:

 

(i)Reduction and postponement of the investment plan for different projects;

 

(ii)Implementation of control measurements for payments to suppliers and purchases of new goods and services;

 

(iii)Negotiation of the payment conditions with suppliers;

 

(iv)Ticket refunds via travel vouchers and Frequent Flyer Program points and miles; all in all, the LATAM Group will continue to honor all current and future tickets, as well as travel vouchers, frequent flyer miles and benefits, and flexibility policies;

 

(v)Temporary reduction of salaries, considering the legal framework of each country: as of the second quarter, the Company implemented a voluntary process to reduce salaries in force until December 31, 2020. Associated with the restructuring plan and in order to adapt to the new demand scenario, the company has designed a staff reduction plan in the different countries where it operates. The costs associated with the execution of this plan were recorded in income as Restructuring activities expenses. (See note 27d);

 

(vi)Short-term debt and debt maturities renewal;

 

(vii)Governmental loan request in different countries in which the company operates; and Reduction of non-essential fleet and non-fleet investments.

 

The Company, in consultation with its advisors, also evaluated a variety of potential restructuring options. In the opinion of the Board, the timings for a conventional bilateral process, the possibility that creditors may have decided to engage in collection actions, the impossibility of curing defaults and the need to implement a comprehensive restructuring of LATAM Airlines to which all its creditors and other interested parties must join, lead the Board to consider an in-court bankruptcy proceedings the best alternative.

 

16

 

 

In addition, the Board noted that other benefits of an in-court bankruptcy proceeding, including the imposition of the Bankruptcy Code’s “automatic stay,” which protects the Company from efforts by creditors and other interested parties to take action in respect of pre-bankruptcy debt, but which, at the same time, allows it to continue operating with its main assets, suppliers, financial parties, regulators and employees, while structuring a binding reorganization to be financially viable in a post-pandemic scenario.

 

Due to the foregoing, and after consulting the administration and the legal and financial advisors of the Company, on May 26, 2020 the Board resolved unanimously that LATAM Airlines should initiate a reorganization process in the United States of America according to the rules established in the Bankruptcy Code by filing a voluntary petition for relief in accordance with the same.

 

Since the Chapter 11 filing, the Company secured up to US$ 2.45 billion in a debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “DIP Facility”) (See Note 3.1 c)).

 

Plan of Reorganization

 

In order for the Company to emerge successfully from Chapter 11, the Company must obtain the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of a plan of reorganization, which will enable the Company to transition from Chapter 11 into ordinary course operations outside of bankruptcy. In connection with a plan of reorganization, the Company also may require a new credit facility, or “exit financing.” The Company’s ability to obtain such approval and financing will depend on, among other things, the timing and outcome of various ongoing matters related to the Bankruptcy Filing. A plan of reorganization determines the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and parties-in-interest, and is subject to the ultimate outcome of negotiations and Bankruptcy Court decisions ongoing through the date on which the plan of reorganization is confirmed. On October 1, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order extending the period by which the Debtors have the exclusive right to submit a plan of reorganization through and including January 29, 2021; on January 28, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court granted a further extension until June 30, 2021. On June 30, 2021, the Court granted a further extension until September 15, 2021. There is no guarantee at this time that the Company will be able to obtain approval of the proposed reorganization plan from the Bankruptcy Court or that the Company will not seek and obtain further extensions of its exclusivity periods to do so.

 

The Company presently expects that any proposed plan of reorganization will provide, among other things, mechanisms for settlement of claims against the Debtors’ estates, treatment of the Company’s existing equity and debt holders, and certain corporate governance and administrative matters pertaining to the reorganized Company. Any proposed plan of reorganization will be subject to revision prior to submission to the Bankruptcy Court based upon discussions with the Company’s creditors and other interested parties, and thereafter in response to interested parties’ objections and the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Court. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to secure approval for the Company’s proposed plan of reorganization from the Bankruptcy Court.

 

17

 

 

Going Concern

 

These Consolidated Financial Statements have also been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability of assets and classification of liabilities that might be necessary should the Debtors be unable to continue as a going concern.

 

As a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the satisfaction of the Company’s liabilities and funding of ongoing operations are subject to uncertainty as a product of the COVID-19 pandemic and the impossibility of knowing its duration at this date and, accordingly, there is a substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to emerge successfully from Chapter 11. Additionally, there is no assurance that long-term funding would be available at rates and on terms and conditions that would be financially acceptable and viable to the Company in the long term. If the Company is unable to generate additional working capital or raise additional financing when needed, it may not able to reinitiate currently suspended operations as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, sell assets or enter into a merger or other combination with a third party, any of which could adversely affect the value of the Company’s common stock, or render it worthless. If the Company issues additional debt or equity securities, such securities may enjoy rights, privileges and prio rities superior to those enjoyed by holders of the Company’s common stock, thereby diluting the value of the Company’s common stock. Additionally, in connection with the Chapter 11 Filing, material modifications could be made to the Company’s fleet and capacity purchase agreements. These modifications could materially affect the Company’s financial results going forward, and could result in future impairment charges.

 

Chapter 11 Milestones

 

Notice to Creditors - Effect of the Automatic Stay

 

The Debtors have notified all known current or potential creditors that the Chapter 11 Cases were filed. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and subject to certain limited exceptions, the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases gave rise to an automatic, worldwide injunction that precludes, among other things, any act to (i) obtain possession of property of or from the Debtors’ estates, (ii) create, perfect, or enforce any lien against property of the Debtors’ estates; (iii) exercise control over property of the Debtors’ estate, wherever in the world that property may be located; and further enjoined or stayed (iv) and also ordered or suspended the commencement or continuation of any judicial, administrative, or other action or proceeding against the debtor that could have been commenced before the Petition Date or efforts to recover a claim against the Debtors that arose before the Petition Date. Vendors are being paid for goods furnished and services provided postpetition in the ordinary course of business.

 

On August 31, 2020 (the “First Stay Motion”), and December 30, 2020 (the “Second Stay Motion”), Corporación Nacional de Consumidores y Usuarios de Chile (“CONADECUS”) filed two motions in the Bankruptcy Court seeking relief from the automatic stay in order prosecute certain actions against LATAM that are currently pending before the courts of Chile. LATAM filed a brief in opposition to the First Stay Motion, and on December 16, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court heard oral arguments on the First Stay Motion. At that hearing, the Bankruptcy Court granted the First Stay Motion for the limited purpose of allowing CONADECUS to further prosecute its pending appeal before the courts of Chile. On February 9, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Second Stay Motion on the same narrow grounds as the First Stay Motion. The Bankruptcy Court’s decisions on the First Stay Motion and Second Stay Motion did not affect the underlying proceedings in Chile beyond allowing CONADECUS to continue its pending appeals (See Note 31 I 2 for any updates this proceedings).

 

18

 

 

Appointment of the Creditors’ Committee

 

On June 5, 2020, the United States Trustee for Region 2 appointed an official committee of unsecured creditors (the “Creditors’ Committee”) in the Initial Chapter 11 Cases. The United States Trustee has not solicited additional members for the Creditors’ Committee as a result of TAM S.A. or any of its applicable subsidiaries joining the Bankruptcy Filing. Since the formation of the Creditors’ Committee, three Creditors’ Committee’s members - Compañía de Seguros de Vida Consorcio Nactional de Seguros S.A., AerCap Holdings N.V., and Aircastle Limited - have resigned from the Creditors’ Committee. The Office of the United States Trustee has not appointed replacements for these members. No trustee or examiner has been appointed in any of these Chapter 11 Cases. No other official committee have been solicited or appointed.

 

On March 19, 2021, a pro se plaintiff and purported LATAM equity holder requested that the Bankruptcy Court appoint an official equity committee. At a hearing on the motion, the Bankruptcy Court stated that the movant had not met the burden to appoint an equity committee, and so the movant withdrew the motion without prejudice to renewing it in the future.

 

Assumption, Amendment & Rejection of Executory Contracts & Leases

 

Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), the Debtors are authorized to assume, assign or reject certain executory contracts and unexpired leases. Absent certain exceptions, the Debtors’ rejection of an executory contract or an unexpired lease is generally treated as prepetition breach, which entitles the contract counterparty to file a general unsecured claim against the Debtors and simultaneously relives the Debtors from their future obligations under the contract or lease. Further, the Debtors’ assumption of an executory contract or unexpired lease would generally require the Debtors to satisfy certain prepetition amounts due and owning under such contract or lease.

 

On June 28, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court authorized the Debtors to establish procedures for the rejection of certain executory contracts and unexpired leases. In accordance with these rejection procedures, the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules the Debtors have or will reject certain contracts and leases (see notes 17, 19 and 27). Relatedly, the Bankruptcy Court approved the Debtors’ request to extend the date by which the Debtors may assume or reject unexpired non-residential, real property leases until December 22, 2020. Following consent of certain lessors to further extend the deadline in order to finalize productive negotiations, the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors’ motions to assume multiple airport leases at Miami-Dade, LAX and JFK related to the Debtors’ passenger and cargo businesses.

 

The Debtors have also assumed a number of important agreements. For example, on June 1, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court approved the assumption and ratification of certain purchase agreements, as amended, with The Boeing Company. In addition, on July 1, 2021, the Court approved the Debtors’ assumption of the Export Credit Agency-backed fleets, which comprises 65 total aircraft.

Further, the Debtors have filed or will file motions to reject certain aircraft and engine leases:

June 8, 2020   (i) 1 Boeing 767
June 24, 2020   (i) 16 Airbus A320-family aircraft; (ii) 2 Airbus A350 aircraft; and (iii) 4 Boeing 787-9

June 17, 2021   (i) 1 Airbus A350-941 aircraft
June 24, 2021   (i) 3 Airbus A350-941 aircraft

 

As of June 30, 2021, and as a result of these contract rejections, obligations with the lenders and lessors were extinguished and the Company lost control over the related assets resulting in the derecognition of the assets and the liabilities associated with these aircraft. See note 17, 19 and 27. All accounting effects were recorded as Restructuring activities expenses during the year ending December 31, 2020 and during the six-month period ending June 30, 2021 as Restructuring activities expenses.

 

The Debtors also have filed or will file motions to enter into certain new aircraft lease agreements, including:

The motion was approved at the June 30, 2021 hearing but an order has not yet been entered. These aircraft was already reclassified to the item “Non-current assets or groups of assets for disposal classified as held for sale” (see Note 13).

 

Statements and Schedules

 

Since September 8, 2020, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements of financial affairs setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of the Debtors (the “Statements and Schedules”). The Statements and Schedules are prepared according to the requirements of applicable bankruptcy law and are subject to further amendment or modification by the Debtors, for example: “Monthly Operating Report” (MOR). The Company on a monthly basis makes the presentation of these schedules and statements.

 

Although the Debtors believe that these materials provide the information required under the Bankruptcy Code or orders of the Bankruptcy Court, they are nonetheless unaudited and prepared in a format different from the consolidated financial reports historically prepared by LATAM in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). Certain of the information contained in the Statements and Schedules may be prepared on an unconsolidated basis. Accordingly, the Debtors believe that the substance and format of these materials do not allow meaningful comparison with their regularly publicly-disclosed consolidated financial statements. Moreover, the materials filed with the Bankruptcy Court are not prepared for the purpose of providing a basis for an investment decision relating to the Debtors’ securities, or claims against the Debtors, or for comparison with other financial information required to be reported under applicable securities law.

Intercompany and Affiliate Transactions

 

The Debtors are authorized to continue performing certain postpetition intercompany and affiliate transactions in the ordinary course of business, including transactions with non-debtor affiliates, and to honor obligations in connection with such transactions; provided, however, the Debtors shall not make any cash payments on account of prepetition transactions with affiliates absent permission from the Bankruptcy Court, including any repayments on any prepetition loans to non-debtor affiliates pursuant to any such transactions. Out of an abundance of caution, the Debtors have also sought and received Bankruptcy Court approval to contribute capital, capitalize intercompany debt and issue shares between certain debtor affiliates.

 

Debtor in Possession Financing

 

On September 19, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to obtain postpetition “debtor-in-possession financing” in the form of a multi-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to US$2.45 billion (See note 3.1 c)).

 

Establishment of Bar Dates

 

On September 24, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Bar Date Order”) establishing December 18, 2020, as the general deadline (the “General Bar Date”) by which persons or entities who believe they hold any claims against any Debtor that arose prior to the Petition Date, as applicable to each Debtor, must have submitted written documentation of such claims (a “Proof of Claim”). The General Bar Date was not applicable to governmental units, which must have submitted Proofs of Claims by January 5, 2021 (the “Governmental Bar Date”). Finally, as more fully described in the Bar Date Order, claims with respect to rejected contracts or unexpired leases may be subject to a deadline later than the General Bar Date (the “Rejection Bar Date” and, together with the General Bar Date and the Governmental Bar Date, the “Bar Dates’). Any person or entity that fails to timely file its Proof of Claim by the applicable Bar Date will be forever barred from asserting their claim and will not receive any distributions made as part of the ultimate plan of reorganization. Notice of the Bar Dates, as well as instructions on how to file Proof of Claims, were sent to all known creditors and published in various newspapers in the United States and South America.

 

On December 17, 2020, the Court entered an order establishing a supplemental bar date of February 5, 2021 (the “Supplemental Bar Date”), for certain non-U.S. claimants not otherwise subject to the General Bar Date. The Supplemental Bar Date applies only to those entities and individuals specifically identified in the court order. Any person or entity that fails to timely file its Proof of Claim by the Supplemental Bar Date will be forever barred from asserting their claim and will not receive any distributions made as part of the ultimate plan of reorganization.

 

23

 

 

Following the close of the General Bar Date and the Supplemental Bar Date, the Debtors have continued the process of reconciling approximately 6,300 submitted claims and have developed procedures to streamline the claims process. The Company has already filed objections to a number of claims and anticipates continuing to do so in the coming months. Although many objections have been entered on an omnibus basis, some claims disputes will likely require individualized adjudication by the Bankruptcy Court. Further, on March 18, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving alternative dispute resolution procedures to resolves certain claims disputes outside of the Bankruptcy Court. As of June 30, 2021, the Debtors have objected to or have resolved through claims withdrawals, stipulations and court orders approximately 2,174 claims with a total value of approximately US$23 billion. As the Debtors continue to reconcile claims against the Company’s books and records, they will object to and contest such claims that they determine are not valid or asserted in the proper amount and will resolve other claims disputes in and outside of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

2.2.Basis of Consolidation

 

(a)Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are all the entities (including special-purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies, which are generally accompanied by a holding of more than half of the voting rights. In evaluating whether the Company controls another entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible at the date of the consolidated financial statements are considered. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is passed to the Company and they are excluded from the consolidation on the date they cease to be so controlled. The results and flows are incorporated from the date of acquisition.

 

Balances, transactions and unrealized gains on transactions between the Company’s entities are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment loss of the asset transferred. When necessary in order to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company, the accounting policies of the subsidiaries are modified.

 

To account for and identify the financial information revealed when carrying out a business combination, such as the acquisition of an entity by the Company, is apply the acquisition method provided for in IFRS 3: Business combination.

 

(b)Transactions with non-controlling interests

 

The Group applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not related to loss of control, as equity transactions without an effect on income.

 

(c)Sales of subsidiaries

 

When a subsidiary is sold and a percentage of participation is not retained, the Company derecognizes assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, the non-controlling and other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any gain or loss resulting from the loss of control is recognized in the consolidated income statement by function in Other gains (losses).

 

If LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries retain an ownership of participation in the sold subsidiary, and does not represent control, this is recognized at fair value on the date that control is lost, the amounts previously recognized in Other comprehensive income are accounted as if the Company had disposed directly from the assets and related liabilities, which can cause these amounts are reclassified to profit or loss. The percentage retained valued at fair value is subsequently accounted using the equity method.

 

24

 

 

(d)Investees or associates

 

Investees or associates are all entities over which LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries have significant influence but have no control. This usually arises from holding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are booked using the equity method and are initially recognized at their cost.

 

2.3.Foreign currency transactions

 

(a)Presentation and functional currencies

 

The items included in the financial statements of each of the entities of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the United States dollar which is also the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.

 

(b)Transactions and balances

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and from the translation at the closing exchange rates of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are shown in the consolidated statement of income by function except when deferred in Other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

 

(c)Adjustment due to hyperinflation

 

After July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy was considered, for purposes of IFRS, hyperinflationary. The consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Argentine Peso have been restated.

 

The non-monetary items of the statement of financial position as well as the income statement, comprehensive incomes and cash flows of the group’s entities, whose functional currency corresponds to a hyperinflationary economy, adjusted for inflation and re-expressed in accordance with the variation of the consumer price index (“CPI”), at each presentation date of its financial statements. The re-expression of non-monetary items is made from the date of initial recognition in the statements of financial position and considering that, the financial statements are prepared under the historical cost criterion.

 

Net losses or gains arising from the re-expression of non-monetary items and income and costs recognized in the consolidated income statement under “Result of indexation units”.

 

Net gains and losses on the re-expression of opening balances due to the initial application of IAS 29 are recognized in the consolidated retained earnings.

 

25

 

 

Re-expression due to hyperinflation will be recorded until the period or exercise in which the economy of the entity ceases to be considered as a hyperinflationary economy, at that time, the adjustments made by hyperinflation will be part of the cost of non-monetary assets and liabilities.

The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in a stable currency and are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level or exchange rates.

 

(d)Group entities

 

The results and the financial situation of the Group’s entities, whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements, of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., which does not correspond to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are converted into the currency of presentation as follows:

 

(i)Assets and liabilities of each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing exchange rate on the consolidated statement of financial position date;

 

(ii)The revenues and expenses of each income statement account are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates, and

 

(iii)All the resultant exchange differences by conversion are shown as a separate component in other comprehensive income, within “Gain (losses) from exchange rate difference, before tax”.

 

For those subsidiaries of the group whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency and, moreover, corresponds to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy; its restated results, cash flow and financial situation are converted to the presentation currency at the closing exchange rate on the date of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The exchange rates used correspond to those fixed in the country where the subsidiary is located, whose functional currency is different to the U.S. dollar.

 

Adjustments to the Goodwill and fair value arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange rate or period informed, restated when the currency came from the functional entity of the foreign entity corresponds to that of a hyperinflationary economy, the adjustments for the restatement of goodwill are recognized in the consolidated equity.

 

2.4.Property, plant and equipment

 

The land of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries, are recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the Properties, plants and equipment are recorded, both in their initial recognition and in their subsequent measurement, at their historical cost, restated for inflation when appropriate, less the corresponding depreciation and any loss due to deterioration.

 

The amounts of advances paid to the aircraft manufacturers are activated by the Company under Construction in progress until they are received.

 

Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements, extensions, etc.) are included in the value of the initial asset or are recognized as a separate asset, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the elements of property, plant and equipment, they will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be determined reliably. The value of the replaced component is written off. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to the result of the year in which they are incurred.

 

26

 

 

The depreciation of the properties, plants and equipment is calculated using the linear method over their estimated technical useful lives; except in the case of certain technical components which are depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown. This charge is recognized in the captions “Cost of sale” and “Administrative expenses”.

 

The residual value and the useful life of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, once a year. Useful lives are detailed in Note 17 (d).

 

When the value of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount.

 

Losses and gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the consideration with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.

 

2.5.Intangible assets other than goodwill

 

(a)Airport slots and Loyalty program

 

Airport slots and the Loyalty program correspond to intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and are annually tested for impairment as an integral part of the CGU Air Transport.

 

Airport Slots correspond to an administrative authorization to carry out operations of arrival and departure of aircraft, at a specific airport, within a certain period of time.

 

The Loyalty program corresponds to the system of accumulation and exchange of points that is part of TAM Linhas Aereas S.A.

 

The airport slots and Loyalty program were recognized at fair value under IFRS 3, as a consequence of the business combination with TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries.

 

(b)Computer software

 

Licenses for computer software acquired are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred in acquiring them and preparing them for using the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives, for which the Company has been defined useful lives between 3 and 10 years.

 

Expenses related to the development or maintenance of computer software which do not qualify for capitalization, are shown as an expense when incurred. The personnel costs and others cost directly related to the production of unique and identifiable computer software controlled by the Company, are shown as intangible Assets others than Goodwill when they have met all the criteria for capitalization.

 

27

 

 

(c)Brands

 

The Brands were acquired in the business combination with TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries and, recognized at fair value under IFRS 3. The Company has defined a useful life of five years, period in which the value of the brands will be amortized.

 

2.6.Goodwill

 

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the Company’s participation in the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary or associate on the acquisition date. Goodwill related to acquisition of subsidiaries is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or each time that there is evidence of impairment. Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include the book amount of the goodwill related to the entity sold.

 

2.7.Borrowing costs

 

Interest costs incurred for the construction of any qualified asset are capitalized over the time necessary for completing and preparing the asset for its intended use. Other interest costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income by function when accrued.

 

2.8.Losses for impairment of non-financial assets

 

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Assets subject to amortization are tested for impairment losses whenever any event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the fair value of an asset less the costs for sale or the value in use, whichever is greater. For the purpose of evaluating impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash generating unit. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that would have suffered an impairment loss are reviewed if there are indicators of reversal of losses. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income by function under “Other gains (losses)”.

 

2.9.Financial assets

 

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through gains or losses), and at amortized cost. The classification depends on the business model of the entity to manage the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

 

The group reclassifies debt investments when, and only when, it changes its business model to manage those assets.

 

In the initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset classified at amortized cost, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets accounted for at fair value through profit or loss are recorded as expenses in the consolidated statement of income by function.

 

28

 

 

(a)Debt instruments

 

The subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group’s business model to manage the asset and cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Company has two measurement categories in which the group classifies its debt instruments:

 

Amortized cost: the assets held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent only payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in income when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in financial income using the effective interest rate method.

 

Fair value through profit or loss: assets that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and is presented net in the consolidated statement of income by function within other gains / (losses) in the period or exercise in which it arises.

 

(b)Equity instruments

 

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other gains / (losses) in the consolidated statement of income by function as appropriate.

 

The Company evaluates in advance the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments recorded at amortized cost. The applied impairment methodology depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.

 

2.10.Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

 

Until December 31, 2020 the Company recognized the hedging derivatives in accordance with IAS 39, as of January 1, 2021 the Company changed the recognition of these derivatives in accordance with IFRS 9 and continues to recognize under this same standard the derivatives that do not qualify as hedges.

 

Initially at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract was made and are subsequently valued at their fair value. The method to recognize the resulting loss or gain depends on whether the derivative designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

 

The Company designates certain derivatives as:

 

(a)Hedge of an identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly- Probable transaction (cash-flow hedge), or

 

(b)Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

 

At the beginning of the transaction, the Company documents the economic relationship between the hedged items existing between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its objectives for risk management and the strategy to carry out various hedging operations. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged.

 

29

 

 

The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as Other non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the item hedged is over 12 months, and as an other current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the item hedged is less than 12 months.

 

Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as Other financial assets or liabilities.

 

(a)Cash flow hedges

 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in the statement of other comprehensive income. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income by function under other gains (losses). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods or exercise when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

 

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to results under the line item Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.

 

Gains or losses related to the effective part of the change in the intrinsic value of the options are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. Changes in the time value of the options related to the part are recognized within Other Consolidated Comprehensive Income in the costs of the hedge reserve within equity.

 

When hedging instrument mature, is sold or fails to meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, any gain or loss accumulated in the statement of Other comprehensive income until that moment, remains in the statement of other comprehensive income and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized.

 

When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in the statement of other comprehensive income is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income by function as “Other gains (losses)”.

 

(b)Derivatives not booked as a hedge

 

The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not booked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income in “Other gains (losses)”.

 

2.11.Inventories

 

Inventories, are shown at the lower of cost and their net realizable value. The cost is determined on the basis of the weighted average cost method (WAC). The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

 

2.12.Trade and other accounts receivable

 

Commercial accounts receivable are initially recognized at their fair value and subsequently at their amortized cost in accordance with the effective rate method, less the provision for impairment according to the model of the expected credit losses. The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires that expected lifetime losses be recognized upon initial recognition of accounts receivable.

 

30

 

 

In the event that the Company transfers its rights to any financial asset (generally accounts receivable) to a third party in exchange for a cash payment, the Company evaluates whether all risks and rewards have been transferred, in which case the account receivable is derecognized.

 

The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor, the probability that the debtor goes bankrupt or financial reorganization are considered indicators of a significant increase in credit risk.

 

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced as the provision account is used and the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement under “Cost of sales”. When an account receivable is written off, it is regularized against the provision account for the account receivable.

 

2.13.Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, time deposits in financial institutions, and other short-term and highly liquid investments.

 

2.14.Capital

 

The common shares are classified as net equity.

 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are shown in net equity as a deduction from the proceeds received from the placement of shares.

 

2.15.Trade and other accounts payables

 

Trade payables and other accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost.

 

2.16.Interest-bearing loans

 

Financial liabilities are shown initially at their fair value, net of the costs incurred in the transaction. Later, these financial liabilities are valued at their amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds obtained (net of the necessary arrangement costs) and the repayment value, is shown in the consolidated statement of income during the term of the debt, according to the effective interest rate method.

 

Financial liabilities are classified in current and non-current liabilities according to the contractual payment dates of the nominal principal.

 

2.17.Current and deferred taxes

 

The tax expense for the period or exercise comprises income and deferred taxes.

 

31

 

 

The current income tax expense is calculated based on tax laws in enacted the date of statement of financial position, in the countries in which the subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.

 

Deferred taxes are recognized, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an assets or a liability in transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting or the taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability discharged.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that the future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The tax (current and deferred) is recognized in statement of income by function, unless it relates to an item recognized in other comprehensive income, directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or, directly in the statement of income by function, respectively.

 

2.18.Employee benefits

 

(a)Personnel vacations

 

The Company recognizes the expense for personnel vacations on an accrual basis.

 

(b)Share-based compensation

 

The compensation plans implemented based on the shares of the Company are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 2: Share-based payments, for plans based on the granting of options, the effect of fair value is recorded in equity with a charge to remuneration in a linear manner between the date of grant of said options and the date on which they become irrevocable, for the plans considered as cash settled award the fair value, updated as of the closing date of each reporting period or exercise, is recorded as a liability with charge to remuneration.

 

(c)Post-employment and other long-term benefits

 

Provisions are made for these obligations by applying the method of the projected unit credit method, and considering estimates of future permanence, mortality rates and future wage increases determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest-rate curves. Actuarial gains or losses are shown in other comprehensive income.

 

(d)Incentives

 

The Company has an annual incentives plan for its personnel for compliance with objectives and individual contribution to the results. The incentives eventually granted consist of a given number or portion of monthly remuneration and the provision is made on the basis of the amount estimated for distribution.

 

32

 

 

(e)Termination benefits

 

The group recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group terminates laboral relation; and (b) when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits.

 

2.19.Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when:

 

(i)The Company has a present legal or implicit obligation as a result of past events;

 

(ii)It is probable that payment is going to be necessary to settle an obligation; and

 

(iii)The amount has been reliably estimated.

 

2.20.Revenue from contracts with customers

 

(a)Transportation of passengers and cargo

 

The Company recognizes the sale for the transportation service as a deferred income liability, which is recognized as income when the transportation service has been lent or expired. In the case of air transport services sold by the Company and that will be made by other airlines, the liability is reduced when they are remitted to said airlines. The Company periodically reviews whether it is necessary to make an adjustment to deferred income liabilities, mainly related to returns, changes, among others.

 

Compensations granted to clients for changes in the levels of services or billing of additional services such as additional baggage, change of seat, among others, are considered modifications of the initial contract, therefore, they are deferred until the corresponding service is provided.

 

(b)Expiration of air tickets

 

The Company estimates in a monthly basis the probability of expiration of air tickets, with refund clauses, based on the history of use of the same. Air tickets without refund clause are expired on the date of the flight in case the passenger does not show up.

 

(c)Costs associated with the contract

 

The costs related to the sale of air tickets are activated and deferred until the moment of providing the corresponding service. These assets are included under the heading “Other current non-financial assets” in the Consolidated Classified Statement of Financial Position.

 

33

 

 

(d)Frequent passenger program

 

The Company maintains the following loyalty programs: LATAM Pass and LATAM Pass Brasil, whose objective is building customer loyalty through the delivery of miles or points.

 

These programs give their frequent passengers the possibility of earning LATAMPASS’s miles or points, which grant the right to a selection of both air and non-air awards. Additionally, the Company sells the LATAMPASS miles or points to financial and non-financial partners through commercial alliances to award miles or points to their customers.

 

To reflect the miles and points earned, the loyalty program mainly includes two types of transactions that are considered revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations: (1) Passenger Ticket Sales Earning miles or points (2) miles or points sold to financial and non-financial partner

 

(1)Passenger Ticket Sales Earning Miles or Points.

 

In this case, the miles or points are awarded to customers at the time that the company performs the flight.

 

To value the miles or points earned with travel, we consider the quantitative value a passenger receives by redeeming miles for a ticket rather than paying cash, which is referred to as Equivalent Ticket Value (“ETV”). Our estimate of ETV is adjusted for miles and point that are not likely to be redeemed (“breakage”).

 

The balance of miles and point that are pending to redeem are include on deferred revenue.

 

(2)Miles sold to financial and non-financial partner

 

To value the miles or points earns through financial and non-financial partners,the performance obligations with the client are estimated separately. To calculate these performance obligations, different components that add value in the commercial contract must be considered, such as marketing, advertising and other benefits, and finally the value of the points awarded to customers based on our ETV. The value of each of these components is finally allocated in proportion to their relative prices. The performance obligations associated with the valuation of the points or miles earned become part of the Deferred Revenue, and the remaining performance obligations, are recorded as revenue when the miles or points are delivered to the client.

 

When the miles and points are exchanged for products and services other than the services provided by the Company, the income is recognized immediately, when the exchange is made for air tickets of any airline of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries, the income is deferred until the air transport service is provided.

 

The miles and points that the Company estimates will not be exchanged are recognized in the results based on the consumption pattern of the miles or points effectively exchanged by customers. The Company uses statistical models to estimate the probability of exchange, which is based on historical patterns and projections.

 

(e)Dividend income

 

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.

 

34

 

 

2.21.Leases

 

The Company recognizes contracts that meet the definition of a lease, as a right of use asset and a lease liability on the date when the underlying asset is available for use.

 

Assets for right of use are measured at cost including the following:

 

-The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
-Lease payment made at or before commencement date;
-Initial direct costs, and
-Restoration costs.

 

The assets by right of use are recognized in the statement of financial position in Properties, plants and equipment.

 

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following payments:

 

-Fixed payments including in substance fixed payment.
-Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
-The exercise price of a purchase options, if is reasonably certain to exercise that option.

 

The Company determines the present value of the lease payments using the implicit rates for the aircraft leasing contracts and for the rest of the underlying assets, uses the incremental borrowing rate.

 

Lease liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position under Other financial liabilities, current or non-current.

 

Interest accrued on financial liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in “Financial costs”.

 

Principal and interest are present in the consolidated cash flow as “Payments of lease liability” and “Interest paid”, respectively, in cash flows use in financing activities

 

Payments associated with short-term leases without purchase options and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis in profit or loss at the time of accrual. Those payments are presented in cash flows use in operation activities.

 

The Company analyzes the financing agreements of aircrafts, mainly considering characteristics such as:

 

(a)that the Company initially acquired the aircraft or took an important part in the process of direct acquisition with the manufacturers.

 

(b)Due to the contractual conditions, it is virtually certain that the Company will execute the purchase option of the aircraft at the end of the lease term.

 

Since these financing agreements are “substantially purchases” and not leases, the related liability is considered as a financial debt classified under to IFRS 9 and continue to be presented within the “Other financial liabilities” described in Note 19. On the other hand, the aircraft are presented in Property, Plants and Equipment, as described in Note 17, as “own aircraft”.

The Group qualifies as sale and lease transactions, operations that lead to a sale according to IFRS 15. More specifically, a sale is considered as such if there is no option to purchase the goods at the end of the lease term.

 

If the sale by the seller-lessee is classified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the underlying asset is derecognized, and a right-of-use asset equal to the portion retained proportionally of the amount of the asset is recognized.

 

If the sale by the seller-lessee is not classified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the transferred assets are kept in the financial statements and a financial liability equal to the sale price is recognized (received from the buyer-lessor).

 

The Company has applied the practical solution allowed by IFRS 16 for those contracts that meet the established requirements and that allows a lessee to choose not to evaluate if the concessions that it obtains derived from COVID-19 are a modification of the lease.

 

2.22.Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale

 

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as assets held for sale are shown at the lesser of their book value and the fair value less costs to sell.

 

2.23.Maintenance

 

The costs incurred for scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to the use of the aircraft expressed in terms of cycles and flight hours.

 

In case of aircraft include in property, plant and equipment, these maintenance cost are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of aircraft on right of use, a liability is accrued based on the use of the main components is recognized, since a contractual obligation with the lessor to return the aircraft on agreed terms of maintenance levels exists. These are recognized as Cost of sales.

 

Additionally, some contracts that comply with the definition of lease establish the obligation of the lessee to make deposits to the lessor as a guarantee of compliance with maintenance and return conditions. These deposits, often called maintenance reserves, accumulate until a major maintenance is performed, once made, the recovery is requested to the lessor. At the end of the contract period, there is comparison between the reserves that have been paid and required return conditions, and compensation between the parties are made if applicable.

 

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

 

2.24.Environmental costs

 

Disbursements related to environmental protection are charged to results when incurred or accrue.

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

3.1.Financial risk factors

 

The Company is exposed to different financial risks: (a) market risk, (b) credit risk, and (c) liquidity risk. The program overall risk management of the Company aims to minimize the adverse effects of financial risks affecting the company.

 

(a)Market risk

 

Due to the nature of its operations, the Company is exposed to market factors such as: (i) fuel-price risk, (ii) exchange -rate risk (FX), and (iii) interest -rate risk.

 

The Company has developed policies and procedures for managing market risk, which aim to identify, quantify, monitor and mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market factors mentioned above.

 

For the foregoing, Management monitors the evolution of price levels, exchange rates and interest rates, quantifies exposures and their risk, and develops and executes hedging strategies.

 

(i)Fuel-price risk:

 

Exposure:

 

For the execution of its operations the Company purchases a fuel called Jet Fuel grade 54 USGC, which is subject to the fluctuations of international fuel prices.

 

Mitigation:

 

To hedge the risk exposure fuel, the Company operates with derivative instruments (swaps and options) whose underlying assets may be different from Jet Fuel, such as West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude, Brent (“BRENT”) crude and distillate Heating Oil (“HO”), which have a high correlation with Jet Fuel and greater liquidity.

 

Fuel Hedging Results:

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company recognized gains of US$ 2.2 million (positive) for fuel hedge net of premiums in the costs of sale for the period. During the same period of 2020, the Company recognized losses of US$ 60.2 (negative) million for the same concept.

 

As of June 30, 2021 the market value of the fuel positions was US$ 13.1 million (positive). At the end of December 2020, this market value was US$ 1.3 million (positive).

 

37

 

 

The following tables show the level of hedge for different periods:

 

Positions as of  June 30, 2021 (Unadited) (*)  Maturities 
   Q321   Q421   Q122   Q222   Total 
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption   24%   22%   15%   15%   19%

 

(*)The percentage shown in the table considers all the hedging instruments (swaps and options).

 

Positions as of  December 31, 2020 (*)  Maturities 
   Q121   Q221   Q321   Q421   Total 
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption   3%   3%   3%   3%   3%

 

(*)The volume shown in the table considers all the hedging instruments (swaps and options).

 

Sensitivity analysis

 

A drop in fuel price positively affects the Company through a reduction in costs. However, also negatively affects contracted positions as these are acquired to protect the Company against the risk of a rise in price. The policy therefore is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in price.

 

The current hedge positions are booked as cash flow hedge contracts, so a variation in the fuel price has an impact on the Company’s net equity.

 

The following tables show the sensitivity of financial instruments according to reasonable changes in the price of fuel and their effect on equity.

 

The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$ 5 per barrel in the underlying reference price curve at the end of June 2021 and the end of December 2020. The projection period was defined until the end of the last fuel hedging contract in force, corresponding to the last business day of the fourth quarter of the year 2021.

 

   Positions as of  June 30, 2021  Positions as of December 31, 2020
Benchmark price  effect on Equity  effect on Equity
(US$ per barrel)  (MUS$)  (MUS$)
   Unaudited   
 +5   +2.6  +0.6
-5  -3.3  -0.6

 

Given the fuel hedging structure during half – year 2021, which considers a portion free of hedges, a vertical drop of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly daily average), would have meant an impact of approximately US$ 32.5 million lower fuel cost. For the same period, a vertical rise of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly daily average), would have meant an approximate impact of US$ 32.0 million in higher fuel costs.

(ii)Foreign exchange rate risk:

 

Exposure:

 

The functional and presentation currency of the financial statements of the Parent Company is the US dollar, so that the risk of the Transactional and Conversion exchange rate arises mainly from the Company’s business, strategic and accounting operating activities that are expressed in a monetary unit other than the functional currency.

 

The subsidiaries of LATAM are also exposed to foreign exchange risk whose impact affects the Company’s Consolidated Income.

 

The largest operational exposure to LATAM’s exchange risk comes from the concentration of businesses in Brazil, which are mostly denominated in Brazilian Real (BRL), and are actively managed by the company.

 

At a lower concentration, the Company is also exposed to the fluctuation of other currencies, such as: Euro, Pound sterling, Australian dollar, Colombian peso, Chilean peso, Argentine peso, Paraguayan Guarani, Mexican peso, Peruvian Sol and New Zealand dollar.

 

Mitigation:

 

The Company mitigates currency risk exposures by contracting derivative instruments or through natural hedges or execution of internal operations.

 

Exchange Rate Hedging Results (FX):

 

With the objective of reducing exposure to the exchange rate risk in the operational cash flows of 2021, and securing the operating margin, LATAM makes hedges using FX derivatives.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company did not maintain FX derivatives.

 

During the period ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not recognize earnings for FX coverage net of premiums. During the same period of 2020, the Company recognized gains of US$ 3.2 million for FX hedging net of premiums.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the company does not hold FX derivatives that are not recognized as hedge accounting.

 

Sensitivity analysis:

 

A depreciation of the R$/US$ exchange rate, negatively affects the Company’s operating cash flows, however, also positively affects the value of the positions of derivatives contracted.

 

FX derivatives are recorded as cash flow hedge contracts; therefore, a variation in the exchange rate has an impact on the market value of the derivatives, the changes of which affect the Company’s net equity.

 

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had no current FX derivatives for BRL.

 

39

 

 

During 2017 and 2019, the Company contracted swap currency derivatives for debt coverage issued the same years by notionals UF 8.7 million and UF 5.0 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2021 Company does not has currency hedge swap. At the end of December 2020, Company does not has currency hedge swap.

 

In the case of TAM S.A, whose functional currency is the Brazilian real, a large part of its liabilities is expressed in US dollars. Therefore, when converting financial assets and liabilities, from dollar to real, they have an impact on the result of TAM S.A., which is consolidated in the Company’s Income Statement.

 

In order to reduce the impact on the Company’s result caused by appreciations or depreciations of R $ / US $, the Company has executed internal operations to reduce the net exposure in US $ for TAM S.A.

 

Effects of exchange rate derivatives in the Financial Statements

 

The profit or losses caused by changes in the fair value of hedging instruments are segregated between intrinsic value and temporary value. The intrinsic value is the actual percentage of cash flow covered, initially shown in equity and later transferred to income, while the hedge transaction is recorded in income. The temporary value corresponds to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedge which is recognized in the financial results of the Company (Note 19).

 

Due to the functional currency of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries is the Brazilian real, the Company presents the effects of the exchange rate fluctuations in Other comprehensive income by converting the Statement of financial position and Income statement of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar, which is the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statement of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.

 

The following table shows the change in Other comprehensive income recognized in Total equity in the case of appreciate or depreciate 10% the exchange rate R$/US$:

 

Appreciation (depreciation)  Effect at June 30, 2021  Effect at December 31, 2020
of R$/US$  MUS$  MUS$
   Unaudited   
-10% +159.54  +191.53
+10%  -130.53  -156.71

 

(iii)Interest -rate risk:

 

Exposure:

 

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates affecting the markets future cash flows of the assets, and current and future financial liabilities.

 

The Company is exposed in one portion to the variations of London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interest rates of less relevance are Brazilian Interbank Deposit Certificate (“IDC”).

 

40

 

 

Mitigation:

 

At the end of June 30, the Company did not have current interest rate derivative positions. Currently a 45% (42% at December 31, 2020) of the debt is fixed to fluctuations in interest rate. Most of this debt is indexed to a benchmark rate based on LIBOR.

 

Rate Hedging Results:

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company did not hold current interest rate derivative positions. At the end of December 2020, the Company did not hold current interest rate derivative positions.

 

Sensitivity analysis:

 

The following table shows the sensitivity of changes in financial obligations that are not hedged against interest-rate variations. These changes are considered reasonably possible, based on current market conditions each date.

 

Increase (decrease)  Positions as of June 30, 2021  Positions as of December 31, 2020
futures curve  effect on profit or loss before tax  effect on profit or loss before tax
in libor 3 months  (MUS$)  (MUS$)
   Unaudited   
+100 basis points  -41.75  -42.11
-100 basis points  +41.75  +42.11

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company does not hold current interest rate derivative positions. The above calculations were vertically increased (decreased) 100 basis points of the three-month Libor future curve, both scenarios being reasonably possible based on historical market conditions.

 

The assumptions of sensitivity calculation must assume that forward curves of interest rates do not necessarily reflect the real value of the compensation flows. Moreover, the structure of interest rates is dynamic over time.

 

On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) announced that, as a result of little access to the information necessary for calculating rates, the publication of the 1-week, 2-months USD rates will cease to be published on December 31, 2021 and the remaining terms will cease on June 30, 2023. Although the adoption of SOFR is voluntary, the impending discontinuation of LIBOR makes it essential for market participants to consider moving to alternative rates such as SOFR and that they have an appropriate alternative language reference in existing contracts that use LIBOR as reference. In this regard, the Company identifies that its derivative and debt contracts may be affected by the change in the relevant rate. To mitigate the effect, the Company is evaluating adherence to the ISDA protocol in the case of derivatives and is following the recommendations of the relevant authorities, including the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) in the case of debt, in line with the measures generally adopted by the market for the replacement of LIBOR in debt contracts.

 

Currently, the Company only has fuel derivatives with a nominal value equivalent to 19%’s hedge of the total consumption expected for the next 12 months.

(b)Credit risk

 

Credit risk occurs when the counterparty does not meet its obligations to the Company under a specific contract or financial instrument, resulting in a loss in the market value of a financial instrument (only financial assets, not liabilities. The client portfolio at June 30, 2021 increased when compared to the balance as of December 31, 2020 by 9%, mainly due to an increase in passenger transport operations (travel agencies and corporate) that increased by 41% in sales, mainly affecting the forms of credit card payments, the cargo business showed a decrease in its net income of 18%. In the case of clients who still have pending balances and that the administration considered risky, the corresponding measures were taken to consider expected credit loss The provision at the end of June 2021 had a decrease of 10% compared to the end of December 2020, as a result of the decrease in the portfolio for recoveries and for the application of write-offs in the half-year period.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operational activities and its financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other types of instruments, exchange rate transactions and contracting derivative instruments or options.

 

To reduce the credit risk related to operational activities, the Company has implemented credit limits to limit the exposure of its debtors, which are permanently monitored for the LATAM network, when deemed necessary, agencies have been blocked for cargo and passenger businesses.

 

(i)Financial activities

 

Cash surpluses that remain after the financing of assets necessary for the operation are invested according to credit limits approved by the Company’s Board, mainly in time deposits with different financial institutions, private investment funds, short-term mutual funds, and easily-liquidated corporate and sovereign bonds with short remaining maturities. These investments are booked as Cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets.

 

In order to reduce counterparty risk and to ensure that the risk assumed is known and managed by the Company, investments are diversified among different banking institutions (both local and international). The Company evaluates the credit standing of each counterparty and the levels of investment, based on (i) their credit rating, (ii) the equity size of the counterparty, and (iii) investment limits according to the Company’s level of liquidity. According to these three parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous three and based on this, establishes limits for operations with each counterparty.

 

The Company has no guarantees to mitigate this exposure.

 

Additionally, section 345(b) of the Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code imposes restrictions on, among other things, the institutions where the Debtors can hold their cash. In particular, it establishes that cash should be held in what are called Authorized Bank Depositories, which are US Banking Institutions that are accepted by the US Trustee Program of the US Department of Justice.  Such Authorized Bank Depositories have generally agreed with the US Trustee Program to maintain collateral of no less than 115% of the aggregate funds on deposit (in excess of FDIC insurance limit) by (i) surety bond or (ii) US Treasury securities. Consequently, pursuant to Section 345(b), as implemented through an agreement with the Office of the United States Trustee, as of the year end the Company held the majority of its cash and equivalents in Banks in the US that are depositories authorized by Office of the United States Trustee for the Southern District of New York. Otherwise, the DIP Facility contains certain restrictions on new investments made by the Debtors during the term of the facility.

 

42

 

 

(ii)Operational activities

 

The Company has four large sales “clusters”: travel agencies, cargo agents, airlines and credit-card administrators. The first three are governed by International Air Transport Association, international (“IATA”) organization comprising most of the airlines that represent over 90% of scheduled commercial traffic and one of its main objectives is to regulate the financial transactions between airlines and travel agents and cargo. When an agency or airline does not pay their debt, they are excluded from operating with IATA’s member airlines. In the case of credit-card administrators, they are fully guaranteed by 100% by the issuing institutions.

 

Under certain of the Company’s credit card processing agreements, the financial institutions have the right to require that the Company maintain a reserve equal to a portion of advance ticket sales that have been processed by that financial institution, but for which the Company has not yet provided the air transportation. Additionally, the financial institutions have the ability to require additional collateral reserves or withhold payments related to receivables to be collected if increased risk is perceived related to liquidity covenants in these agreements or negative balances occur.

 

The exposure consists of the term granted, which fluctuates between 1 and 45 days.

 

One of the tools the Company uses for reducing credit risk is to participate in global entities related to the industry, such as IATA, Business Sales Processing (“BSP”), Cargo Account Settlement Systems (“CASS”), IATA Clearing House (“ICH”) and banks (credit cards). These institutions fulfill the role of collectors and distributors between airlines and travel and cargo agencies. In the case of the Clearing House, it acts as an offsetting entity between airlines for the services provided between them. A reduction in term and implementation of guarantees has been achieved through these entities. Currently the sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with travel agents and cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A.

 

Credit quality of financial assets

 

The external credit evaluation system used by the Company is provided by IATA. Internal systems are also used for particular evaluations or specific markets based on trade reports available on the local market. The internal classification system is complementary to the external one, i.e. for agencies or airlines not members of IATA, the internal demands are greater.

 

To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of operational activities of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. with travel agents). The bad-debt rate in the principal countries where the Company has a presence is insignificant.

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company does not have sufficient funds to pay its obligations.

 

43

 

 

Due to the cyclical nature of its business, the operation and investment needs, along with the need for financing, the Company requires liquid funds, defined as Cash and cash equivalents plus other short-term financial assets, to meet its payment obligations. On May 26, 2020, the Company and its subsidiaries in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States began a voluntary process of reorganization and restructuring of their debt under the protection of the Chapter 11 of the United States, to which on July 9, the Brazilian subsidiary and certain of its subsidiaries were included, in order to preserve the group’s liquidity. In light of the unprecedented impact COVID-19 has had on the global aviation industry, this reorganization process provides LATAM with the opportunity to work with the group’s creditors, and main stakeholders, to reduce its debt and obtain new sources of financing, providing the company with the tools to adapt the group to this new reality.

 

The balance of liquid funds, future cash generation and the ability to obtain financing, provides the Company with alternatives to meet future investment and financing commitments.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the balance of liquid funds is US$ 1,535 million (US $ 1,696 million as of December 31, 2020), which are invested in short-term instruments through financial entities with a high credit rating classification.

 

As of June 30, 2021, LATAM maintains a committed revolving credit facility (Revolving Credit Facility) for a total amount of US$ 600 million, which is fully drawn. This line is secured by and subject to the availability of collateral (i.e. aircraft, engines and spare parts).

 

Finally, during the first half-year of the year 2021, the Company has reduced budgeted investments by approximately US$ 257 million, mainly related to maintenance, given the lower operation, purchase of engines, investments in cabins and other projects. In addition, LATAM has not received aircraft that were committed to receive in 2021, which at the beginning of the year reached US$ 773 million.

 

After filing Chapter 11 protection, the company received authorization from the Bankruptcy Court for the “debtors in possession” (DIP) financing, in the form of a multi-draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to US$ 2,450 million. This facility consists of two tranches in which the following creditors participate:

 

1) A Tranche A, which is committed for up to US$ 1,300 million, out of which (i) US$ 1,125 million were be provided by Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. or certain entities related to it; and (ii) US$ 175 million were be provided by Knighthead, Jefferies and / or other entities that are part of the syndicate of creditors organized by Jefferies; and

 

2) A Tranche C for a capital amount of up to US$ 1,150 million, of which (i) US$ 750 million was provided by a certain group of LATAM’s shareholders composed by Grupo Cueto, Grupo Eblen and Qatar Airways, or certain related entities; (ii) US$ 250 million was provided by Knighthead, Jefferies and / or other entities that are part of the syndicate of creditors organized by Jefferies; and (iii) US$ 150 million which was committed by certain additional shareholder investors through a public investment fund managed by Toesca S.A. on November 6, 2020 through a joinder to the DIP Agreement..

 

In addition, this proposal contemplates a possible Tranche B for up to an additional US$ 750 million, subject to the authorization of the Court and other customary conditions for this type of operations.

 

On October 8, the first disbursement took place under the DIP Credit Agreement for 50% of the funds committed to that date, MMUS $ 1,150. Later, and in consideration of the extension of the health and mobility restrictions imposed by the authorities in the countries where the group operates, as well as the analysis of the company’s liquidity projection, LATAM made a second withdrawal of US $ 500 million which was received on June 23. At the end of the half-year, LATAM had drawn US$ 875.5 million corresponding to Tranche A and US$ 774.5 million corresponding to Tranche C, and still had access to US $ 800 million not drawn from the DIP. In accordance with the terms of the “DIP Agreement”, the Debtors must maintain a consolidated liquidity of at least US $ 400 million, considering the undrawn line of the DIP, and meet certain milestones with respect to the chapter 11 process.

The Company has fuel, interest rate and exchange rate hedging strategies involving derivatives contracts with different financial institutions.

 

At the end of 2020, the Company had delivered US$ 0.6 million in guarantees for derivative margins corresponding to cash and stanby letters of credit. As of June 30, 2021, the Company maintains guarantees for US$ 3.8 million corresponding to derivative transactions. The increase was due to: i) greater subscription of hedging contracts than their maturity and ii) changes in fuel prices, exchange rates and interest rates.

 

3.2.Capital risk management

 

The objectives of the Company, in relation to capital management are: (i) to meet the minimum equity requirements and (ii) to maintain an optimal capital structure.

 

The Company monitors contractual obligations and regulatory requirements in the different countries where the group’s companies are domiciled to ensure faithful compliance with the minimum equity requirement, the most restrictive limit of which is to maintain positive liquid equity.

 

Additionally, the Company periodically monitors the short and long term cash flow projections to ensure that it has sufficient cash generation alternatives to meet future investment and financing commitments.

 

The international credit rating of the Company is the result of the ability to meet long-term financial commitments. As of June 30, 2021, and as a consequence of the expected decline in demand due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company’s filing for voluntary protection under the U.S. Chapter 11 reorganization statute, Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s y Fitch Ratings withdrew their credit ratings for LATAM

 

3.3.Estimates of fair value.

 

At June 30, 2021, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at fair value. These are grouped into two categories:

 

1.Derivative financial instruments:

 

This category includes the following instruments:

 

-Interest rate derivative contracts,

 

-Fuel derivative contracts,

 

-Currency derivative contracts.

 

2.Financial Investments:

 

This category includes the following instruments:

 

-Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent)

 

-Private investment funds.

 

51

 

 

The Company has classified the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of information used in the assessment. This hierarchy consists of 3 levels (I) fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (II) fair value calculated through valuation methods based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) and (III) fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as investments acquired for trading, is based on quoted market prices at the close of the period using the current price of the buyer. The fair value of financial assets not traded in active markets (derivative contracts) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize use of available market information. Valuation techniques generally used by the Company are quoted market prices of similar instruments and / or estimating the present value of future cash flows using forward price curves of the market at period end.

 

The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value, depending on the level of information used in the assessment:

The book values of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature. In the case of cash on hand, bank balances, overnight, time deposits and accounts payable, non-current, fair value approximates their carrying values.

 

The fair value of other financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate for similar financial instruments (Level II). In the case of Other financial assets, the valuation was performed according to market prices at period end. The book value of Other financial liabilities, current or non-current, do not include lease liabilities.

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

 

The Company has used estimates to value and record some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments. Basically, these estimates refer to:

 

(a)Evaluation of possible losses due to impairment of intangible assets with indefinite useful life

 

Management conducts an impairment test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount.

 

Management’s value-in-use calculations included significant judgments and assumptions relating to revenue growth rates, exchange rate, discount rate, inflation rates, fuel price. The estimation of these assumptions requires significant judgment by the management, as these variables feature inherent uncertainty; however, the assumptions used are consistent with Company’s forecasts approved by management. Therefore, management evaluates and updates the estimates as necessary, in light of conditions that affect these variables. The main assumptions used as well as the corresponding sensitivity analyses are showed in Note 15.

 

(b)Useful life, residual value, and impairment of property, plant, and equipment

 

The depreciation of assets is calculated based on the linear model, except for certain technical components depreciated on cycles and hours flown. These useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis according with the Company’s future economic benefits associated with them.

 

Changes in circumstances such as: technological advances, business model, planned use of assets or capital strategy may render the useful life different to the lifespan estimated. When it is determined that the useful life of property, plant, and equipment must be reduced, as may occur in line with changes in planned usage of assets, the difference between the net book value and estimated recoverable value is depreciated, in accordance with the revised remaining useful life.

 

The residual values are estimated according to the market value that said assets will have at the end of their life. The residual value and useful life of the assets are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, once a year. When the value of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount.

 

The Company has concluded that the Properties, Plant and Equipment cannot generate cash inflows to a large extent independent of other assets, therefore the impairment assessment is made as an integral part of the only Cash Generating Unit maintained by the Company, Air Transport. The Company checks when there are signs of impairment, whether the assets have suffered any impairment losses at the Cash Generated Unit level.

 

(c)Recoverability of deferred tax assets

 

Management records deferred taxes on the temporary differences that arise between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets on tax losses are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future tax benefits will be available to offset temporary differences.

 

54

 

 

The Company applies significant judgment in evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets. In determining the amounts of the deferred tax asset to be accounted for, management considers historical profitability, projected future taxable income (considering assumptions such as: growth rate, exchange rate, discount rate, fuel price online with those used in the impairment analysis of the group’s cash-generating unit) and the expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences.

 

(d)Air tickets sold that will not be finally used.

 

The Company records the sale of air tickets as deferred income. Ordinary income from the sale of tickets is recognized in the income statement when the passenger transport service is provided or expired for non-use. The Company evaluates monthly the probability of expiration of air tickets, with return clauses, based on the history of use of air tickets. A change in this probability could generate an impact on revenue in the year in which the change occurs and in future years.

 

In effect and due to the worldwide contingency of the COVID 19 pandemic, the company has established new commercial policies with clients regarding the validity of air tickets, making it easier to use in flight, reissue and return.

 

Under this new scenario, in the 2nd quarter year 2021 no income for expiration ticket’s revenue were recorded, which in a normal scenario would have amounted to approximately ThUS $ 47,400.

 

As of June 30, 2021, deferred income associated with air tickets sold amounted to ThUS $ 1,042,746 (ThUS $ 904,558 as of December 31, 2020).

 

(e)Valuation of miles and points awarded to holders of loyalty programs, pending use.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the deferred income associated with the LATAM Pass loyalty program amounts to ThUS$ 1,307,485 (ThUS$ 1,365,534 as of December 31, 2020). A hypothetical change of one percentage point in the probability of swaps would translate into an impact accumulated of ThUS$ 26,900 in the results as of 2021 (ThUS $ 26,358 in the results as of 2020). The deferred income associated with the LATAM Pass Brasil loyalty program (See Note 22) amounts to ThUS$ 161,701 as of June 30, 2021 (ThUS $ 187,493 as of December 31, 2020). A hypothetical change of two percentage points in exchange probability would translate into an impact accumulated of ThUS$ 3,956 in the results as of 2021 (ThUS $ 2,950 in the results as of 2020).

 

Management used statistical models to estimate the miles and point awarded that will not be redeemed, by the programs members (breakage) which involved significant judgments and assumptions relating the historical redemption and expiration activity and forecasted redemption and expiration patterns.

 

The management in conjunction with an external specialist develop a predictive model of non-use miles or points, which allows to generate non-use rates on the basis of historical information, based on behavior of the accumulation, use and expiration of the miles or points.

 

55

 

 

(f)Provisions needs, and their valuation when required

 

In the case of known contingencies, the Company records a provision when it has a present obligation, whether legal or implicit, as a result of past events, it is likely that an outflow of resources will be necessary to settle the obligation and the amount is has reliably estimated. Based on available information, the Company uses the knowledge, experience and professional judgment, to the specific characteristics of the known risks. This process facilitates the early assessment and quantification of potential risks in individual cases or in the development of contingent matters.

 

Company recognized as the present obligation under an onerous contract as a provision when a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.

 

(g)Leases

 

(i)Discount rate

 

The discount rate used to calculate the lease debt corresponds, for each aircraft, to the implicit interest rate calculated by the contractual elements and residual market values. The implicit rate of the contract is the discount rate that gives the aggregate present value of the minimum lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value.

 

For assets other than aircraft, the estimated lessee’s incremental loan rate was used, which is derived from the information available on the lease commencement date, to determine the present value of the lease payments. We consider our recent debt issues, as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.

 

A decrease of one percentage point in our estimate of the rates used in determining the liabilities for the new and amendment lease contract recognized as of June 30, 2021 would increase the liability for the lease by approximately US$ 62 million.

 

(ii)Lease term

 

In determining the term of the lease, all the facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option are considered. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the term of the lease if you are reasonably certain that the lease will be extended (or not terminated). This is reviewed if a significant event or significant change in circumstances occurs that affects this assessment and is within the control of the lessee.

 

(h)Investment in subsidiary (TAM)

 

The management has applied its judgment in determining that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. controls TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries, for accounting purposes, and has therefore consolidated the financial statements.

 

The grounds for this decision are that LATAM issued ordinary shares in exchange for the majority of circulating ordinary and preferential shares in TAM, except for those TAM shareholders who did not accept the exchange, which were subject to a squeeze out, entitling LATAM to substantially all economic benefits generated by the LATAM Group, and thus exposing it to substantially all risks relating to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all of its shareholders, including the controlling shareholders of TAM, thus ensuring that the shareholders and directors of TAM shall have no incentive to exercise their rights in a manner that would be beneficial to TAM but detrimental to LATAM. Furthermore, all significant actions necessary of the operation of the airlines require votes in favor by the controlling shareholders of both LATAM and TAM.

 

56

 

 

Since the integration of LAN and TAM operations, the most critical airline operations in Brazil have been managed by the CEO of TAM while global activities have been managed by the CEO of LATAM, who is in charge of the operation of the LATAM Group as a whole and reports to the LATAM Board.

 

The CEO of LATAM also evaluates the performance of LATAM Group executives and, together with the LATAM Board, determines compensation. Although Brazilian law currently imposes restrictions on the percentages of voting rights that may be held by foreign investors, LATAM believes that the economic basis of these agreements meets the requirements of accounting standards in force, and that the consolidation of the operations of LAN and LATAM is appropriate.

 

These estimates were made based on the best information available relating to the matters analyzed.

 

In any case, it is possible that events that may take place in the future could lead to their modification in future reporting periods, which would be made in a prospective manner.

 

NOTE 5 - SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company considers that it has a single operating segment, Air Transport. This segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and is based on the way in which the business is managed, according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to open and close routes, as well as reassignment (airplanes, crew, personnel, etc.) within the network, which implies a functional interrelation between all of them, making them inseparable. This segment definition is one of the most common in the worldwide airline industry.

Once pre-judicial and judicial collection efforts are exhausted, the assets are written off against the allowance. The Company only uses the allowance method rather than direct write-off, to ensure control.

 

The historical and current renegotiations are not very relevant, and the policy is to analyze case by case to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining if their reclassification corresponds to pre-judicial collection accounts.

 

The maximum credit-risk exposure at the date of presentation of the information is the fair value of each one of the categories of accounts receivable indicated above.

(2)Aircraft maintenance reserves reflect prepayment deposits made by the group to lessors of certain aircraft under operating lease agreements in order to ensure that funds are available to support the scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft.

 

66

 

 

These deposits are calculated based on the operation, measured in cycles or flight hours, are paid periodically, and it is contractually stipulated that they be returned to the Company each time major maintenance is carried out. At the end of the lease, the unused maintenance reserves are returned to the Company or used to compensate the lessor for any debt related to the maintenance conditions of the aircraft.

 

In some cases, (2 lease agreements), if the maintenance cost incurred by LATAM is less than the corresponding maintenance reserves, the lessor is entitled to retain those excess amounts at the time the heavy maintenance is performed. The Company periodically reviews its maintenance reserves for each of its leased aircraft to ensure that they will be recovered and recognizes an expense if any such amounts are less than probable of being returned. The cost of aircraft maintenance in the last years has been higher than the related maintenance reserves for all aircraft.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the company does not maintain maintenance reserves, this because they were executed by the lessor for the no payment during Chapter 11 procedure, (ThUS $ 8,613 as of December 31, 2020).

 

Aircraft maintenance reserves are classified as current or non-current depending on the dates when the related maintenance is expected to be performed (Note 2.23).

(1)In 2016, the Company resolved to adopt a unique name and identity, and announced that the group’s brand will be LATAM, which united all the companies under a single image. The estimate of the new useful life is 5 years, equivalent to the period necessary to complete the change of image.
(2)See Note 2.5
(3)In 2020, a digital transformation was implemented (LATAM XP), as a result some projects became obsolete and were fully amortized.

 

71

 

 

The amortization of each period is recognized in the consolidated income statement in the administrative expenses. The cumulative amortization of computer programs, brands and other assets as of June 30, 2021, amounts to ThUS $ 457,713 (ThUS $ 424,392 as of December 31, 2020).

 

b)Impairment Test Intangible Assets with an indefinite useful life

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company maintains only the CGU “Air Transport”.

 

The CGU “Air transport” considers the transport of passengers and cargo, both in the domestic markets of Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil, as well as in a series of regional and international routes in America, Europe, Africa and Oceania.

 

As of June 30, 2021, no impairment indicator have been identified for the Air Transport CGU, which require the performance of a new impairment test.

 

The Company reached this conclusion after reviewing the main indicators and antecedents observed as of June 2021.

 

This review considered the evaluation of internal (operation, income, financial indicators, book value) and external (macroeconomic variables, rates, competitive environment, market capitalization over book value).

 

Unlike the current situation in the previous quarter as of March 31, 2021 LATAM Airlines Group S.A. maintained a suspension of a large part of the operation and as a result of the impacts mentioned in Note 2 associated with COVID 19, so impairment indicator were identified at that time that led the Company to carry out an impairment test.

 

Impairment indicator identified were: Increase in uncertainty about pandemic on the economic and health situation, the lengths of the crisis, the extent of the closure of operations, among others.

 

The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined based on calculations of the value in use.

 

These calculations use projections of 5 years cash flows after taxes from the financial budgets approved by the Administration. Cash flows beyond the budgeted period are extrapolated using growth rates and estimated average volumes, which do not exceed long-term average growth rates.

 

Management’s cash flow projections included significant judgements and assumptions related to annual revenue growth rates, discount rate, inflation rates, the exchange rate and price of fuel. The annual revenue growth rate is based on past performance and management’s expectations of market development in each of the countries in which it operates. The discount rates used, for the CGU “Air transport”, are in determined in US dollars, after taxes, and reflect specific risks related to the relevant countries of each of the operations. Inflation rates and exchange rates are based on the data available from the countries and the information provided by the Central Banks of the various countries where it operates, and the price of fuel is determined based on estimated levels of production, the competitive environment of the market in which they operate and their commercial strategy.

 

72

 

 

As of March 31, 2021 the recoverable values were determined using the following assumptions presented bellow:

 

      CGU
      Air transport
Annual growth rate (Terminal)  %  1.1 - 2.0
Exchange rate (1)  R$/US$  5.4 - 5.7
Discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)  %  9.00 - 9.50
Fuel Price from futures prices curves commodities markets  US$/barrel  71 - 73

 

(1)In line with the expectations of the Central Bank of Brazil.

 

The result of the impairment test, which includes a sensitivity analysis of its principal assumptions, conclude that the calculated value in use exceed the book value of the cash-generating unit, and therefore no impairment was detected.

 

The CGU is sensitive to annual growth, discount and exchange rates. The analysis of sensitivity included the individual impact of variations in critical assumptions when determine the value in use, as follow:

 

   Increase   Decrease rate 
   WACC   Terminal growth 
   Maximum   Minimal 
   %   % 
Air Transportation CGU   9.5    1.1 

 

In none of the above scenarios an impairment of the cash-generating unit was identified.

NOTE 18 - CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES

 

In the period ended June 30, 2021, the income tax provision was calculated for such period, applying the partially semi-integrated taxation system and a rate of 27%, in accordance with the Law No. 21,210, which modernizes the Tax Legislation, published in the Journal of the Republic of Chile, dated February 24, 2020.

 

The net result for deferred tax corresponds to the variation of the period, of the assets and liabilities for deferred taxes generated by temporary differences and tax losses.

 

For the permanent differences that give rise to a book value of assets and liabilities other than their tax value, no deferred tax has been recorded since they are caused by transactions that are recorded in the financial statements and that will have no effect on spending tax for income tax.

Under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code. The same happened for TAM LINHAS AÉREAS S.A and certain subsidiaries (all LATAM subsidiary in Brazil), on July 8, 2020. Having filed for Chapter 11 automatically suspends most actions against LATAM and its subsidiaries, including most actions to collect financial obligations incurred before the date of receipt of Chapter 11 or to exercise control over the property of LATAM and its subsidiaries. Consequently, although the bankruptcy filing may have led to breaches of some of the obligations of LATAM and its subsidiaries, the counterparties cannot take any action as a result of said breaches.

 

At the end of the period, Chapter 11 retains most of the actions on the debtors so the repayment of the debt is not accelerated. The Group continues to present its financial information as of June 30, 2021, including its interest bearing loan and leases, in accordance with the originally agreed conditions, pending future agreements that it may reach with its creditors under Chapter 11.

The line is guaranteed with collateral made up of routes, slots, engines and spare parts. With this second withdrawn, the company still has MMUS $ 800 available. This line is committed for a total of US $ 2,450 million, of which US $ 750 million are committed by related parties.

Hedging operation

 

The fair values of net assets/ (liabilities), by type of derivative, of the contracts held as hedging instruments are presented below:

 

   As of   As of 
   June 30,   December 31, 
   2021   2020

   Unaudited     
Interest rate swaps (1)      (2,734)   (2,734)
Fuel options (2)      13,123    1,296 

 

(1)Covers the significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the increases in the 3 months LIBOR interest rates for long-term loans incurred in the acquisition of aircraft and bank loans. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.

 

(2)Covers significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the price of future fuel purchases. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.

 

93

 

 

The Company only has cash flow and fair value hedges (in the case of CCS). In the case of fuel hedges, the cash flows subject to such hedges will occur and will impact results in the next 12 months from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, while in the case of hedges of interest rates, these they will occur and will impact results throughout the life of the associated loans, up to their maturity. In the case of currency hedges through a CCS, there is a group of hedging relationships, in which two types of hedge accounting are generated, one of cash flow for the US $ / UF component; and another of fair value, for the floating rate component US $. The other group of hedging relationships only generates cash flow hedge accounting for the US $ / UF component.

 

All hedging operations have been performed for highly probable transactions, except for fuel hedge. See Note 3.

 

Since none of the hedges resulted in the recognition of a non-financial asset, no portion of the result of derivatives recognized in equity was transferred to the initial value of that type of asset.

 

The amounts recognized in comprehensive income during the period and transferred from net equity to income are as follows:

 

   For the 6 months period ended   For the 3 months period ended 
   June 30,   June 30,

(1)Accumulated balances include a judicial deposit delivered in guarantee, with respect to the “Fundo Aeroviario” (FA), for ThUS$ 72, made in order to suspend the collection and the application of a fine. The Company is discussing in Court the constitutionality of the requirement made by FA calculated at the ratio of 2.5% on the payroll in a legal claim. Initially the payment of said contribution was suspended by a preliminary judicial decision and about 10 years later, this same decision was reversed. As the decision is not final, the Company has deposited the securities open until that date, in order to avoid collection processing and the application of the fine.

 

Finally, if the final decision is favorable to the Company, the deposit made and payments made later will return to TAM. On the other hand, if the court confirms the first decision, said deposit will become a final payment in favor of the Government of Brazil. The procedural stage as of June 30, 2021 is described in Note 31 in the Role of the case 2001.51.01.012530-0.

With respect to Europe, the General Directorate of Competition imposed fines totaling € 799,445,000 (seven hundred and ninety-nine million four hundred and forty-five thousand Euros) for infractions of European Union regulations on free competition against eleven (11) airlines, among which are LATAM Airlines Group SA and its subsidiary Lan Cargo S.A., For its part, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A., jointly and severally, have been fined for the amount of € 8,220,000 (eight million two hundred twenty thousand Euros), for these infractions, an amount that was provisioned in the financial statements of LATAM. On January 24, 2011, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A. They appealed the decision before the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Assumptions  2021   2020 
   Unaudited 
Discount rate    4.31%   2.23%

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. y Lan Cargo S.A.   European Commission.       Investigation of alleged infringements to free competition of cargo airlines, especially fuel surcharge. On December 26th, 2007, the General Directorate for Competition of the European Commission notified Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. the instruction process against twenty five cargo airlines, including Lan Cargo S.A., for alleged breaches of competition in the air cargo market in Europe, especially the alleged fixed fuel surcharge and freight.  

On April 14th, 2008, the notification of the European Commission was replied. The appeal was filed on January 24, 2011.

 

On May 11, 2015, we attended a hearing at which we petitioned for the vacation of the Decision based on discrepancies in the Decision between the operating section, which mentions four infringements (depending on the routes involved) but refers to Lan in only one of those four routes; and the ruling section (which mentions one single conjoint infraction).

 

On November 9th, 2010, the General Directorate for Competition of the European Commission notified Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. the imposition of a fine in the amount of THUS$9.739 (8.220.000 Euros)

 

This fine is being appealed by Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. On December 16, 2015, the European Court of Justice revoked the Commission’s decision because of discrepancies. The European Commission did not appeal the decision, but presented a new one on March 17, 2017 reiterating the imposition of the same fine on the eleven original airlines. The fine totals 776,465,000 Euros. It imposed the same fine as before on Lan Cargo and its parent, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., totaling 8.2 million Euros. On May 31, 2017 Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. filed a petition with the General Court of the European Union seeking vacation of this decision. We presented our defense in December 2017. On July 12, 2019, we attended a hearing before the European Court of Justice to confirm our petition for vacation of judgment or otherwise, a reduction in the amount of the fine. LATAM AIRLINES GROUP, S.A. expects that the ruling by the General Court of the European Union may reduce the amount of this fine. On December 17, 2020, the European Commission submitted proof of claim for the total amount of the fine (ThUS$9.739 (€8,220,000)) to the New York Court hearing the Chapter 11 procedure petitioned by LATAM Airlines Group, S.A. and LAN Cargo, S.A. in May 2020.

Aerovías de Integración Regional, AIRES S.A.   United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, Florida, U.S.A. 45th Civil Court of the Bogota Circuit in Colombia.     2013-20319 CA 01  

The July 30th, 2012 Aerovías de Integración Recional, Aires S.A. (LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA) initiated a legal process in Colombia against Regional One INC and Volvo Aero Services LLC, to declare that these companies are civilly liable for moral and material damages caused to LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA arising from breach of contractual obligations of the aircraft HK-4107.

 

The June 20th, 2013 AIRES SA And / Or LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA was notified of the lawsuit filed in U.S. for Regional One INC and Dash 224 LLC for damages caused by the aircraft HK-4107 arguing failure of LATAM AIRLINES GROUP S.A. customs duty to obtain import declaration when the aircraft in April 2010 entered Colombia for maintenance required by Regional One.

 

Colombia. This case is being heard by the 45th Civil Court of the Bogota Circuit in Colombia. Statements were taken from witnesses presented by REGIONAL ONE and VAS on February 12, 2018. The court received the expert opinions requested by REGIONAL ONE and VAS and given their petition, it asked the experts to expand upon their opinions. It also changed the experts requested by LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA. The case was brought before the Court on September 10, 2018 and these rulings are pending processing so that a new hearing can be scheduled. On October 31, 2018, the judge postponed the deadline for the parties to answer the objection because of a serious error brought to light by VAS regarding the translation submitted by the expert. The process has been in the judge’s chambers since March 11, 2019 to decide on replacing the damage estimation expert as requested by LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA. The one previously appointed did not take office. A petition has also been made by VAS objecting to the translation of the documents in English into Spanish due to serious mistakes, which was served to the parties in October 2018. The 45th Civil Circuit Court issued an order on August 13, 2019 that did not decide on the pending matters but rather voided all actions since September 14, 2018 and ordered the case to be referred to the 46th Civil Circuit Court according to article 121 of the General Code of Procedure. Said article says that court decisions must be rendered in no more than one (1) year as from the service of the court order admitting the claim. If that period expires without any ruling being issued, the Judge will automatically forfeit competence over the proceedings and must give the Administrative Room of the Superior Council of the Judiciary notice of that fact the next day, in addition to referring the case file to the next sitting judge in line, who will have competence and will issue a ruling in no more than 6 months. The case was sent to the 46th Civil Circuit Court on September 4, 2019, which claims that there was a competence conflict and then sent the case to the Superior Court of Bogotá to decide which court, the 45th or 46th, had to continue with the case. The Court decided that 45th Civil Circuit Court should continue with the case, so this Court on 01/15/2020 has reactivated the procedural process ordering the transfer to the parties of the objection presented by VAS for serious error of the translation to Spanish of documents provided in English. On 02/24/2020 it declares that the parties did not rule on the objection presented by VAS and requires the plaintiff to submit an expert opinion of damages corresponding to the claims of the lawsuit through its channel. Since 03/16/20 a suspension of terms is filed in Courts due to the pandemic. Judicial terms were reactivated on July 1, 2020. On September 18, 2020, an expert opinion on damages was submitted that had been requested by the Court. The Court ordered service of the ruling to the parties on December 14, 2020. The defendants, REGIONAL ONE and VAS, filed a motion for reconsideration of this decision, petitioning that the evidence of the expert opinion be eliminated because it was presented late. The motion was denied by the Court. On April 30, 2021, they petitioned for a clarification and supplement to the opinion, to which the Court agreed in a decision on May 19, 2021, giving the expert 10 business days to respond. The brief of clarification was filed June 2, 2021 and the docket was presented to the Judge on June 3, 2021.

                Florida. On June 4, 2019, the State Court of Florida allowed REGIONAL ONE to add a new claim against LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA for default on a verbal contract. Given the new claim, LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA petitioned that the Court postpone the trial to August 2019 to have the time to investigate the facts alleged by REGIONAL ONE to prove a verbal contract. The facts discovery phase continued, including the verbal statements of the experts of both sides, which have been taking place since March 2020. Given the Covid-19 pandemic and the suspension of trials in the County of Miami-Dade, the Court canceled the trial scheduled for June 2020.

Latam Airlines Group S.A   23° Juzgado Civil de Santiago   C-8498-2020   Class Action Lawsuit filed by the National Corporation of Consumers and Users (CONADECUS) against LATAM Airlines Group S.A. for alleged breaches of the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights due to flight cancellations caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, requesting the nullity of possible abusive clauses, the imposition of fines and compensation for damages in defense of the collective interest of consumers. LATAM has hired specialist lawyers to undertake its defense.  

On 06/25/2020 we were notified of the lawsuit. On 04/07/2020 we filed a motion for reversal against the ruling that declared the action filed by CONADECUS admissible, the decision is pending to date. On 07/11/2020 we requested the Court to comply with the suspension of this case, ruled by the 2nd Civil Court of Santiago, in recognition of the foreign reorganization procedure pursuant to Law No. 20,720, for the entire period that said proceeding lasts, a request that was accepted by the Court. CONADECUS filed a remedy of reconsideration and an appeal against this resolution should the remedy of reconsideration be dismissed. The Court dismissed the reconsideration on August 3, 2020, but admitted the appeal. The appeal is currently pending before the Santiago Court of Appeals. The amount at the moment is undetermined.

 

New York Case. Parallel to the lawsuit in Chile, on August 31, 2020, CONADECUS filed on appeal with U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) because of the automatic suspension imposed by Section 362 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that, among other things, prohibits the parties from filing or continuing with claims that involve a preliminary petition against the Borrowers. CONADECUS petitioned (i) for a stay of the automatic suspension to the extent necessary to continue with the class action against LATAM in Chile and (ii) for a joint hearing by the Bankruptcy Court and the Second Civil Court of Santiago in Chile (the “Chile Insolvency Court”) to hear the matters relating to the claims of CONADECUS in Chile. On December 18, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court sustained part of CONADECUS’s petition, but only to allow it to continue its appeal against the decision by the 23rd Civil Court of Santiago and solely so that the Court of Appeals can decide whether or not a stay is admissible under Chilean insolvency law. On December 31, 2020, CONADECUS petitioned to continue with its appeal against the decision by the 25th Civil Court that approved the reconciliation between AGRECU and LATAM. On February 9, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court sustained just one of the petitions of CONADECUS. As a result, they can continue their appeal against the decision by the 25th Civil Court that approved the reconciliation of AGRECU and LATAM.

NOTE 32 - COMMITMENTS

 

(a)Commitments for loans obtained

 

The Company and its subsidiaries do not have credit agreements that indicate limits to some financial indicators of the Company or the subsidiaries, with the exception of those detailed below:

 

Regarding the revolving committed credit line (“Revolving Credit Facility”) established with a consortium of twelve banks led by Citibank, with a guarantee of aircraft, engines, spare parts and supplies for a total committed amount of US $ 600 million, it includes restrictions of minimum liquidity, measured at the Consolidated Company level (with a minimum level of US $ 750 million) and individually measured for LATAM Airlines Group S.A. companies and TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. (with a minimum level of US $ 400 million). Compliance with these restrictions is a prerequisite for using the line; if the line is used, said restrictions must be reported quarterly, and non-compliance with these restrictions will accelerate credit. As of December 31, 2020, this line of credit is fully used.

 

As of June 30, 2021, the Company is in compliance with all the financial indicators detailed above.

 

On the other hand, the financing agreements of the Company generally establish clauses regarding changes in the ownership structure and in the controller and disposition of assets (which mainly refers to significant transfers of assets).

 

Under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, the filing of voluntary bankruptcy petitions by the Debtors automatically stayed most actions against the Debtors, including most actions to collect indebtedness incurred prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over the Debtors’ property.

 

Accordingly, counterparties are stayed from taking any actions as a result of such purported defaults. Specifically, the financing agreements of the Company generally establish that the filing of bankruptcy or similar proceedings constitute an event of default, which are unenforceable under the Bankruptcy Code. At the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company has not received notices of termination of financing arrangements, based on such an event of default.

 

On September 29, 2020 the company signed the so-called “DIP Financing”, which contemplates minimum liquidity restrictions of at least US $ 400 million at a consolidated level.

 

LATAM’s obligations to the lenders of the DIP Financing have a super administrative preference recognized under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with respect to the other liabilities of the company and entities of its corporate group that have filed for Chapter 11 proceedings (“Related Subsidiaries”) prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 proceeding.

 

In addition, in order to secure the debt under the DIP Financing, LATAM and the Related Subsidiaries granted certain guarantees, including, but not limited to, (i) in-rem guarantees to be granted over certain specified assets, such as spare engines, spare inventory, shares in certain subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, (a) a pledge over the shares owned by LATAM in LAN Cargo S.A., Inversiones Lan S.A., Lan Pax Group S.A., LATAM Travel II S.A., Technical Training Latam S.A. and Holdco I S.A., (b) pledge over the shares owned by LAN Cargo S.A. in Transporte Aéreo S.A., Inversiones Lan S.A., Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A. and Lan Cargo Inversiones S.A. and (c) pledge over the shares owned by Inversiones LAN S.A. in LAN Cargo S.A., Transporte Aéreo S.A., Lan Pax Group S.A., Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A., LATAM Travel Chile II S.A., Technical Training LATAM S.A. and Lan Cargo Inversiones S.A.), among others, under the laws of the jurisdictions in which they are located, (ii) personal guarantees of the Related Subsidiaries and (iii) a in-rem guarentee of general nature over the assets of LATAM and the Related Subsidiaries other than certain “Excluded Assets” comprising, among other things, the aircraft and the “Carve-Out” including, among other things, certain funds assigned for expenses of the Chapter 11 proceedings.

NOTE 34 - SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

 

LP3 compensation plans (2020-2023)

 

The Company implemented a program for a group of executives, which lasts until March 2023, with a period of enforceability between October 2020 and March 2023, where the collection percentage is annual and cumulative. The methodology is an allocation, of quantity of units, where a goal of the value of the action is set.

 

The bonus is activated, if the target of the share price defined in each year is met. In case the bonus accumulates, up to the last year, the total bonus is doubled (in case the share price is activated).

 

This Compensation Plan has not yet been provisioned due to the fact that the action price required for collection is below the initial target.

This update was made in the midst of the health crisis, with the company convinced that its recovery comes hand in hand with being a leader in the region in sustainability. This strategy will be made public during 2021, once it has been validated by all the actors who participated. At the same time, during 2020, the company worked on the following initiatives:

 

-Maintenance of the certification of the international standard ISO 14001 in the cargo operation in Miami.

 

-Maintenance of the stage 2 certifications of the IEnvA environmental management system (IATA Environmental Assessment) whose scope is international flights operated from Chile, the most advanced level of this certification; being the first in the continent and one of six airlines in the world that have this certification

-Response to the DJSI (Dow Jones Sustainability Index) questionnaire

 

-Neutralization of domestic air operations in Colombian operations

 

-Incorporation of 100% electrical energy from renewable sources in the facilities of the maintenance base and the corporate building of operations in Chile

 

-Verification of company emissions under the EU-ETS and CORSIA schemes.

 

-Strengthening of the Solidarity Plane program.

 

It is highlighted that LATAM Airlines Group, during 2020, had an excellent performance in the sustainability evaluation of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the best in its history. However, the company was delisted from the different indices (World, MILA and Chile), for being in Chapter 11.
