MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON 4Q19 RESULTS

Despite the prolonged operational and financial impact of the MAX fleet grounding, Copa Holdings once again delivered a strong quarter, ending the year with solid financial and operational results. A positive demand environment combined with strong commercial execution resulted in higher unit revenues, which together with lower fuel prices, partially offset unit cost pressures and lost revenue opportunities associated with the grounding of the MAX fleet and resulted in a year over year margin expansion.

Consolidated operating revenues increased 3.9% to US$681.9 million during the quarter despite a 4.6% capacity reduction. Load factor came in at 85.3%, or 2.5 percentage points above 4Q18, while yields came in at 12.5 cents, or 6.0% higher than 4Q18. As a result, passenger revenues per ASM (PRASM) increased 9.2% from 9.8 cents in 4Q18 to 10.7 cents in 4Q19.

Operating expenses for 4Q19 decreased 15.1%, from US$782.4 million to US$664.1 million, which includes the non-cash fleet impairment charge of US$89.3 million in 4Q19, and US$188.6 million in 4Q18. Excluding Special Items, operating expenses would have come in at US$574.8 million, or 3.2% below 4Q18.

Aircraft fuel expense decreased 12.7% or US$24.9 million compared to 4Q18, as a result of lower jet fuel prices and lower capacity. The Company’s effective jet fuel price decreased 9.2%, from an average of US$2.38 per gallon in 4Q18 to US$2.16 per gallon in 4Q19. The Company had no outstanding fuel hedge contracts.

The Company recorded a non-operating expense of US$9.4 million for 4Q19 compared to a non-operating expense of US$25.4 million for 4Q18. Non-operating expense for 4Q19 is mostly comprised of a net interest expense of US$10.9 million, a US$2.4 million-dollar gain associated with foreign currency translations, and other non-operating expenses of US$1.0 million.

Copa Holdings closed the quarter with approximately US$ 985.5 million in cash, short-term and long-term investments, representing approximately 36% of the last twelve months’ revenues.

Total debt at the end of 4Q19 amounted to US$1.06 billion compared to US$1.29 billion at the end of 4Q18, all of which is related to aircraft financing.

We believe we have a very solid business model, which is based on operating the best and most convenient network for intra-Latin America travel from our Hub of the Americas® based in Panama’s advantageous geographic position, with the region’s lowest unit costs, best on-time performance, and strongest balance sheet. Going forward, the Company expects to continue strengthening its long-term competitive position by taking advantage of new growth opportunities and implementing initiatives to further lower its unit costs and increase revenues, while strengthening its network and product.

OUTLOOK FOR 2020

For 2020, the Company is providing guidance as follows: Given the further delay in the Boeing 737 MAX re-certification process, consolidated capacity is now expected to grow just 1%, and based on a lower fuel price assumption for the year, operating margin is now expected to come in within the range of 18 to 20 percent.

CONSOLIDATED FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS

Operating revenue

Consolidated revenue for 4Q19 totaled US$681.9 million, a 3.9% or US$25.9 million increase over operating revenue of US$656.1 million in 4Q18, due to a 4.1% or US$26.2 million increase in passenger revenue.

Passenger revenue totaled US$657.9 million, an increase of 4.1% from passenger revenue of US$631.8 million in 4Q18. A 2.5 percentage point increase in load factor, combined with a 6.0% increase in passenger yield, resulted in an 9.2% increase in PRASM.

Cargo and mail revenue totaled US$16.0 million in 4Q19, a 1.2% decrease from 4Q18, mainly due to lower capacity.

Other operating revenue totaled US$8.0 million in 4Q19, a 1.5% decrease from other operating revenue of US$8.1 million in 4Q18.

Operating expenses

For 4Q19 operating expenses decreased 15.1% to US$664.1 million, representing operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) of 10.8 cents. Adjusting for special items, operating cost per available seat mile came in at 9.3 cents. When also excluding fuel, unit costs came in at 6.6 cents, 6.4% higher than the 6.2 cents reported in 4Q18. This increase is mostly related to the capacity reduction, costs and inefficiencies associated to the MAX fleet grounding, as well as certain expenses related to stronger revenue performance.

Fuel totaled US$171.3 million, a US$24.9 million or 12.7% decrease over aircraft fuel expense of US$196.2 million in 4Q18. This decrease was the result of 3.9% fewer gallons consumed given the capacity reductions, and a 9.2% lower average price per gallon of jet fuel (all-in), which averaged US$2.16 per gallon in 4Q19, compared to US$2.38 per gallon in 4Q18.

Wages, salaries, benefits and other employees’ expenses totaled US$115.0 million, a 0.6% increase over salaries and benefits of US$114.4 million in 4Q18. This was mainly driven by higher variable compensation provisions offset by savings initiatives.

LOGO

 

Passenger servicing totaled US$24.8 million, a 5.7% decrease over passenger servicing of US$26.3 million in 4Q18, due to a lower average length of haul.

Airport facilities and handling charges totaled US$44.9 million, a 7.5% decrease over 4Q18. This was primarily the result of fewer departures and certain contract renegotiations.

Sales and distribution totaled US$53.2 million, a 2.8% increase over an expense of US$51.8 million in 4Q18, in-line with an increase in sales.

Maintenance, material and repairs totaled US$37.6 million, a 37% increase from maintenance, material and repairs of US$27.5 million in 4Q18, mainly as a result of higher accruals related to the increased utilization of the out-of-warranty Boeing 737NG and Embraer-190 fleet after the grounding of the Boeing MAX aircraft.

Depreciation and amortization totaled US$70.5 million in 4Q19, a 6.0% increase over depreciation of US$66.5 million in 4Q18, mainly as a result of additional IT projects and heavy maintenance events charged in 4Q19, and a depreciation effect associated with the Embraer fleet impairment charge booked in 4Q18.

Flight operations decreased 10.8%, from US$27.9 million in 4Q18 to US$24.9 million in 4Q19, mainly as a result of fewer departures and lower rates in certain airports in South America.

Other operating and administrative expenses totaled US$32.5 million in 4Q19, a decrease of 6.4% versus 4Q18.

Non-operating Profit (Expense)

Consolidated non-operating profit (expense) resulted in a net expense of US$9.4 million in 4Q19, compared to a net expense of US$25.4 million in 4Q18.

Finance cost totaled US$17.2 million in 4Q19, a 34.1% increase from interest expense of US$12.8 million in 4Q18, mainly due to a US$5.3 million charge, resulting from the reduction in the discount rate utilized for the calculation of future lease return conditions.

Finance income totaled US$6.3 million, a 2.9% increase over interest income of US$6.1 million in 4Q18, as a result of a higher investment balance and yield.

Gain (loss) on foreign currency fluctuations totaled a US$2.4 million gain, compared to an US$18.2 million loss in 4Q18. The 4Q19 gain is mostly the result of currency fluctuations in Argentina and Colombia. The 4Q18 loss is composed by a $7.3 million loss due to the net effect of foreign currency fluctuations and an $11.4 million loss related to a foreign exchange adjustment performed in that quarter.

Other non-operating profit (expense) resulted in a net expense of US$1.0 million in 4Q19 compared to a net expense of US$0.5 million in 4Q18.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATION

This press release includes the following non IFRS financial measures: Adjusted CASM Excluding Fuel, CASM Excluding Fuel, Adjusted Operating Profit, Adjusted Net Profit and Adjusted EPS. This supplemental information is presented because we believe it is a useful indicator of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our performance with other companies in the airline industry. These measures should not be considered in isolation, and should be considered together with comparable IFRS measures, in particular Operating Profit and Net Profit. The following is a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the comparable IFRS measures:
