MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON THE 1Q24 RESULTS
Copa Holdings reported strong results for the first quarter of the year. Operating margin remained solid at 24.2% or 1.9 percentage points higher than in 1Q23, driven by a continued robust demand environment in the region and the Company's focus on maintaining low ex-fuel unit costs.
Operating revenues for 1Q24 increased 3.0% to US$893.5 million mainly driven by an increase in passenger traffic. Load factor for the quarter came in at 86.0% or 0.7 percentage points below 1Q23 on an 8.0% increase in capacity year over year, while yields came in at 14.0 cents or 3.8% lower than 1Q23. As a result, passenger revenues per ASM (PRASM) decreased 4.6% in the quarter to 12.1 cents and RASM decreased 4.6% to 12.5 cents, compared to 1Q23.
Operating expenses for 1Q24 increased by 0.5% to US$677.5 million mainly driven by the 8.0% increase in capacity, partially offset by lower fuel, maintenance, materials and repairs and sales and distribution costs. Aircraft fuel expenses decreased by 7.6% or $20.1 million compared to 1Q23, due to a 13.9% lower jet fuel price, partially offset by 7.9% more gallons consumed. Maintenance, materials and repairs expenses decreased by 36.4% mainly due to an adjustment in the provision related to leased aircraft and lower engine maintenance costs. And sales and distribution costs decreased by 9.6% due to higher penetration of direct sales and lower-cost travel agency channels. Consequently, cost per available seat mile (CASM) came in at 9.5 cents, a decrease of 6.9% compared to 1Q23, and costs excluding fuel (Ex-fuel CASM) came in at 6.1 cents, a 2.0% decrease when compared to the same period in 2023.
As a result, Copa Holdings reported an operating profit of US$216.0 million and a net profit of US$176.1 million for the quarter, an increase of US$22.8 million and US$18.3 million, respectively, when compared on an adjusted basis to 1Q23.
The Company continues to have a solid balance sheet as it closed the quarter with US$1.1 billion in cash, short-term and long-term investments, which represent 32% of the last twelve months’ revenues. Total debt at the end of 1Q24 amounted to US$1.7 billion, while our Adjusted Net Debt to EBITDA ratio continued at healthy levels at 0.5 times.
Copa Holdings’ first quarter results are the product of a solid and well-executed business model, which is built on operating the best and most convenient network for intra-Latin America travel from its Hub of the Americas® based on Panama’s advantageous geographic position, low unit costs, best on-time performance, and a strong balance sheet. Going forward, the Company expects to leverage its strong balance sheet, leading liquidity position, and low-cost base to continue strengthening its long-term competitive position by implementing initiatives that will further reinforce its network, product, and cost competitiveness.
OUTLOOK FOR 2024
For 2024, the Company is reaffirming its full-year operating margin outlook of 21% to 23% on a capacity growth in the range of 10%.
