Auditor Name: Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S/S Ltda. Auditor Location: São Paulo, Brazil Firm ID: 1448
EXPLANATORY NOTE
Azul S.A. (the “Company”) filed its Annual Report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) which was accepted by the EDGAR filing system on May 15, 2024 with a filing date of May 16, 2024 (the “Original Filing”).
This Amendment No. 1 on Form 20-F/A (this “Amendment”) is filed by the Company with the SEC due to processing errors that resulted in an incomplete filing of the Original Filing and before completion of formal review and sign-off procedures of Ernst & Young Auditores Independentes S/S Ltda. (“EY”).
This Amendment amends Item 18 to correct the Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm of EY appearing on pages F-7 and F-8 of the Original Filing by: (i) deleting from such report three paragraphs included under the sub-heading “Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” commencing “The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control…”, and (ii) inserting, under the same sub-heading “Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting”, the following paragraphs:
“A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.”
For the avoidance of doubt, there have been no changes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements set forth in the Original Filing.
In addition, this Amendment also amends Item 19 “Exhibits” in the Original Filing as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including as Exhibits to this Amendment currently dated certifications from the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as required by Section 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, which certifications are attached to this Amendment as Exhibits 12.1, 12.2, 13.1 and 13.2.
Furthermore, this Amendment also updates the Company’s well-known seasoned issuer status as a result of the Original Filing having received a filing date of May 16, 2024.
Except as described above, this Amendment does not modify or update disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing. Therefore, this Amendment speaks as of May 15, 2024 (the filing date that the Original Filing was accepted by the EDGAR filing system) and, except as described above, does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original Filing for other events or information subsequent to such date. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing and the Company’s filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing.

Azul S.A.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of financial position of Azul S.A. (the Company) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated May 15, 2024, expressed an adverse opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.

| | Passenger revenue (including breakage) |
Description of the Matter | The Company’s passenger revenue was R$17,227,728 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2023. Passenger revenue is recognized when air transportation is actually provided. Tickets sold and loyalty program (“TudoAzul”) points issued, but not yet used are deferred and recorded as a liability under “Air traffic liability and loyalty program”, net of the estimated revenue from air tickets and TudoAzul points that will expire unused (breakage). As disclosed in Note 25.2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s estimate of breakage was R$576,245 thousand at December 31, 2023. Breakage is estimated using statistical models primarily based on historical data, ticket terms and customers’ travel behavior. Breakage on outstanding loyalty program points is estimated using statistical models based on historical data, including redemption patterns. Auditing passenger revenue (including breakage) was especially challenging since passenger revenue recognition is highly dependent on information technology systems and due to the complexity of the estimates used by management, such as expectations of the expiration of unused tickets and loyalty program points future redemption patterns. |
| | |
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
| | To test passenger revenue, including the estimate of breakage, our audit procedures included, among others, obtaining external confirmations for a sample of the accounts receivable balance; tracing a sample of passenger revenues to third-party evidence and flight logs; using automated audit techniques to assist us in validating the air traffic liability; and, comparing breakage rates with historical data and analyzing breakage rate trends over the years. We also assessed the Company’s disclosures in respect of passenger revenue and breakage in Notes 33 and 25, respectively, to the consolidated financial statements. |

| | | | | |
| Maintenance reserve |
Description of the Matter | As disclosed in Note 11.2 to the consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2023, the Company’s maintenance reserve deposits, net of the provision for loss, were R$1,874,958 thousand. Under the terms of certain agreements with aircraft and engine lessors, as aircraft and engines are used, the Company is required to pay deposits to lessors to be held as collateral for the performance of major maintenance activities, which are then reimbursable upon completion of the maintenance event. The Company assesses whether its maintenance reserve deposits are expected to be recovered based on the expected usage of the aircraft and timing of future maintenance events. A provision for loss is recorded for deposits that will probably not be recovered. Auditing the recoverability of the maintenance reserve deposits was especially challenging due to the degree of judgment required in estimating the expected usage of the aircraft and timing of future maintenance events.
|
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
| To test the maintenance reserve deposits balance, net of the provision for loss, our audit procedures included, among others, confirming maintenance reserve deposit balances for individual contracts with the respective lessors; tracing elements of actual maintenance expenses incurred to supporting documentation; evaluating the Company’s analysis of the recoverability of the maintenance reserve deposits that includes the assessment of the timing of future maintenance event and expected usage of the aircraft; and, comparing relevant inputs in the Company’s estimate to contractual agreements with the lessors. We also assessed the Company’s disclosures in respect of its maintenance reserve deposits in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements. |
| | | | | |
| Net working capital and capital structure |
Description of the Matter | As more fully described in Note 2.2 to the consolidated financial statements, at December 31, 2023, the Company’s negative equity was R$21,327,848 thousand, negative net working capital was R$9,704,733 thousand and loss for the year then ended was R$2,380,456 thousand. Management assessed its business plan approved by the Board of Directors to determine whether the Company is capable of continuing its operations and fulfilling its obligations. Auditing management’s assessment was complex and required significant auditor judgement, as the judgements and assumptions applied by management in making their assessment include estimating future demand and revenue as well as evaluating the impacts from negotiations with lessors and financial institutions, the Company’s access to additional capital and other future market conditions that are subject to significant estimation uncertainty. Those assumptions and judgements are forward-looking and could be affected by future economic events and market conditions.
|
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
| To test management’s assessment our audit procedures included, among others, involving our valuation specialists to assist in evaluating management’s financial forecasting model and key assumptions; testing the mathematical accuracy of that model; comparing key inputs against historical financial information and records and performing a sensitivity analysis. We also assessed the Company’s disclosures in respect of its capital structure and net working capital in Note 2.2 to the consolidated financial statements. |

| Modifications to aircraft right-of-use assets and lease liabilities |
Description of the Matter | At December 31, 2023, the Company’s aircraft right-of-use assets, net of accumulated depreciation, was R$6,862,385 thousand, as disclosed in Note 16.2 to the consolidated financial statements. Also, the Company’s aircraft lease liabilities at December 31, 2023 were R$14,909,157 thousand, as disclosed in Notes 19.3, 19.4 and 19.5 to the consolidated financial statements. Also, as more fully disclosed in Note 2.1.4.5, the Company’s modifications to its aircraft lease agreements with its lessors were complex and affected a large number of its aircraft lease agreements. Auditing the modifications to aircraft lease agreements was especially challenging due to the significance of the amounts involved and the complexity of the modifications to aircraft lease agreements, as well as the uncertainties involved and the degree of judgment exercised by management in determining significant assumptions, which include, among others, the discount rate used to measure the lease liability.
|
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
| To test the Company’s aircraft lease modifications, our audit procedures included, among others, reading the modified lease contracts to understand their terms and conditions, including assessing whether they are in the scope of IFRS 16 Leases; assessing the criteria adopted by the management for a sample of agreements by recalculating the amounts involved for these transactions; testing the timing of recognition of the lease modifications with the respective lease agreements; and, involving our specialists to assist us with the evaluation of management’s assumptions and judgments used to determine the discount rate used to measure the lease liability. We also assessed the Company’s disclosures in respect to lease modifications, the aircraft right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in Notes 2.1.4.5, 16 and 19 to the consolidated financial statements, respectively. |

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of
Azul S.A.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited Azul S.A.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weaknesses described below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, Azul S.A. (the Company) has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on the COSO criteria.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weaknesses have been identified and included in management’s assessment. Management’s risk assessment process failed to identify certain risks of material misstatement and therefore impacted its ability to properly design, implement and execute significant classes of transactions and financial reporting controls to fully address the requirements of the COSO criteria. Management also failed in the execution of certain relevant controls, including the validation of the completeness and accuracy of information derived from IT systems and end-user computing spreadsheets (information produced by the entity – IPE) used in the performance of those controls.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes. These material weaknesses were considered in determining the nature, timing and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2023 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated May 15, 2024, which expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

1.2Seasonality
The Company’s operating revenues depend substantially on the general volume of passenger and cargo traffic, which is subject to seasonal changes. Our passenger revenues are generally higher during the summer and winter holidays, in January and July respectively, and in the last two weeks of December, which corresponds to the holiday season. Considering the distribution of fixed costs, this seasonality tends to cause variations in operating results between the quarters of the fiscal year. It should be noted that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the behavior related to the frequency of travels of the Company’s customers, in the first quarter of 2022 and 2021, thus impacting the accumulated result for the year presented for comparative purposes.

2.NET WORKING CAPITAL AND CAPITAL STRUCTURE
2.1Contextualization
Throughout the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company focused its efforts on executing the debt restructuring plan. Discussions with creditors began at the end of 2022, with the signing of agreements concentrated in the third and fourth quarters of 2023. The main actions taken in this process are presented in detail below, however, it is necessary to clarify the facts and conditions that led the Company to promote such restructuring:
From the founding of the Company until the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Azul demonstrated through its results the strengths of its economic foundations. As an airline with a differentiated business strategy, supported by its regional routes, where there was very little or even no competition, until that moment the Company had shown exponential growth.
As is generally known, in March 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) classified the COVID-19 as a “public health emergency of international concern” and declared it a pandemic. From this moment, a sharp rupture was noted in the global economic activity, unleashing an unprecedented global economic crisis.
It is worth remembering that the speed of spread and contagion of the disease have caused countries around the world, including Brazil, to adopt measures to recommend social distancing, travel restrictions and the closure of borders. As a consequence, the airline industry was one of the first and hardest hit in its operations and results.
In order to face this absolutely challenging scenario, the Company, through its Executive Committee, started to monitor and establish operational and financial strategies to go through this period of crisis until the resumption of operations. Among the main actions to achieve the established strategies, the following stand out:
2.1.1Resizing of the airline network
One of the first and most important actions taken by Management in response to the economic crisis unleashed by the COVID-19 pandemic was the resizing of its airline network, with reductions in capacity that reached its peak in April 2020. At this moment, the volume of ASKs (seat-kilometers offered) offered in the domestic market accounted for only 13% of the volume of the same period of 2019, represented by approximately 70 daily flights, and in turn the demand reduced to 11% of the total of the previous year. Remembering that until then the Company operated almost 1,000 daily flights. This situation severely impacted the Company's ability to generate cash and be able to honor financial commitments made in the pre-pandemic period.
2.1.2Cost reductions
Faced with the difficulties imposed by the pandemic scenario, the Company adopted several measures to reduce its fixed and variable costs, including: (i) suspension of hiring, (ii) launch of unpaid leave and voluntary dismissal programs; (iii) reduction of salaries of executive committee members and directors; (iv) reduction of general salary expenses by around 65%, in the period between March and August 2020, and (v) collective agreement to reduce the working hours of pilots and flight attendants for 18 months.
2.1.3Strengthening of cash
Throughout the period, with the evolution of the pandemic, Management endeavored to keep the cash levels necessary to face the crisis, requiring reaching new agreements with suppliers, bank creditors and lessors, within this scope the main actions taken were:
•access to the capital market through the issuance of debentures;
•postponement of payment of profit sharing of 2019;
•negotiation of new payment conditions with suppliers for cash preservation;
•suspension of business travels and discretionary expenses;
•negotiation to reduce airports fee;
•agreement for postponement of delivery of aircraft model E2;
•agreement with lessors with a reduction of approximately 77% of the cash outflow for the period between April and December 2020;

December 31, 2023 | |
(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, unless otherwise indicated) | |
•renegotiation of the conditions and maturities of debentures and obligations of FINAME; and
•Issuance of debentures convertible into shares in the amount of R$ 1,745,900 (equivalent to US$323,195) with maturity in 5 years and interest of 7.5% p.a. in the first year and 6.0% p.a. from the second year onwards, with semi-annual settlements.
2.1.4Scenario after the COVID-19 pandemic
After the most critical moments due to the COVID-19 pandemic have passed, both the global and Brazilian economies are facing additional problems such as:
•abrupt increases in oil prices that directly impact aircraft fuel costs;
•significant devaluation of the Real against the US$;
•growth in inflation rates in the most developed markets such as the United States and Europe;
•shortage of credit, causing a significant increase in interest rates for raising funds; and
•crisis in the supply chain of maintenance materials that puts adverse pressure on costs for the Company.
Given this situation, Management, in December 2022, established a strategy to renegotiate all its debts, whose execution extended throughout 2023 due to the large number of stakeholders involved and the complexity of the topics under discussion, as follows:
2.1.4.1Issuance of simple debentures
In June 2023, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of simple debentures, non-convertible into shares, with security interest and additional personal guarantee, in a single series, from ALAB respectively, in the total amount of R$600,000; with a nominal unit value of R$1, rate equivalent to CDI 6.0% p.a. and maturity in June, 2024. The resources were fully and exclusively used to pay for aircraft fuel.
2.1.4.2Issuance of debt securities 2028 – Senior notes 2028
In July 2023, the Company issued and priced a debt securities issue of R$3,831,040 (equivalent to US$800,000) in principal amount, with funding costs of R$187,658.
Nominal interest corresponds to 11.9% p.a., and will be paid quarterly, in February, May, August and November of each year, starting on November 2023.
The principal Senior Notes 2028 amount will mature in August 2028, unless redeemed or repurchased in advance and canceled in accordance with the terms of issuance, by the Company.
In October 2023, the Company issued additional notes in the principal amount of R$186,005 (equivalent to US$36,778). Such notes were issued in exchange for the aggregate principal amount of R$190,819 (equivalent to US$37,730) of the Senior Notes 2024.
In February 2024, the Company issued additional notes in the principal amount of R$740,585 (equivalent to US$148,700). Such notes were issuance to qualified institutional investors.
2.1.4.3Debt securities exchange offers (“exchange offer”)
In June 2023, the Company announced its subsidiary Azul Investments issued:
•an offer exchange debt securities with interest of 5.9% p.a. due 2024 (Senior Notes 2024) for debt securities with interest of 11.5% p.a. due 2029, and
•an offer to exchange debt securities with interest of 7.3% p.a. due 2026 (Senior Notes 2026) for debt securities with interest of 10.9% p.a. due 2030.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, unless otherwise indicated) | |
In July and October 2023, the Company concluded its exchange offers and issued:
•R$1,410,967 (equivalent US$294,215) in principal amount of 11.5% p.a. debt securities due 2029 (which were issued in exchange for R$1,410,967 (equivalent to US$294,215) of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes 2024);
•R$2,725,010 (equivalent to US$568,219) in the principal amount of 10.9% p.a. debt securities due 2030 (which were issued in exchange for R$2,725,166 (equivalent to US$568,252) of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes 2026); and
•R$186,005 (equivalent to US$36,778) in principal amount of 11.5% p.a. debt securities due 2028 (which were issued in exchange for R$190,819 (equivalent to US$37,730) of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes 2024).
In total, 90.0% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes 2024 and 2026 were exchanged for debt securities 2029 and 2030, as shown below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Description | | US$ | | % exchanged |
| | | | |
5.9% Senior notes 2024 | | 331,945 | | | 83.0 | % |
7.3% Senior notes 2026 | | 568,252 | | | 94.7 | % |
Total | | 900,197 | | | 90.0 | % |
2.1.4.4Renegotiation of convertible debentures
In July and August 2023, the Company and the debenture holders made changes to the original conditions of the convertible debenture debts. In summary:
•Conversion Price: from R$32.26 to R$22.78 per preferred share;
•Nominal interest rate: 6.0% p.a. to 12.3% p.a; and.
•Maturity October 2025 to October 2028.
The mandatory early redemption corresponds to R$542,496 (equivalent to US$108,900) and was determined as follows:
•the redemption value of each eligible debenture was 120% of the updated nominal unit value of the debentures, that is, the updated nominal unit value of the debentures plus a premium of 20% on the aforementioned value; and
•any and all interest and monetary updates incurred and not paid.
2.1.4.5Renegotiation of lease obligations
In March 2023, forbearance agreements were signed between the Company and its main lessors. Such contracts aimed to temporarily suspend payments related to aircraft leases, while new deadlines and methods for paying obligations were being negotiated, mainly deferrals negotiated during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the difference between the contractual leasing rates of Azul and current market rates.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company defined the renegotiation conditions and entered into definitive agreements with the lessors, who agreed to receive negotiable debt securities maturing in 2030 ("Notes") and debt with the possibility of settlement in Azul preferred shares or cash, at the Company's discretion ("Convertible to equity”) in order to reflect the Company's new cash generation, its improved capital structure and the reduction in its credit risk.
Until December 31, 2023, the Company had renegotiated 119 lease contracts. In general, the conditions agreed between the Company and lessors are as follows:
•Notes: R$1,385,115 (equivalent to US$286,014), with interest to be paid quarterly from December 2023, with interest of 7.5% p.a., and principal maturity in June 2030; and
•Convertible to equity: R$2,178,740 (equivalent to US$450,032), and consecutive quarterly payments, starting in July 2024.

December 31, 2023 | |
(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, unless otherwise indicated) | |
The costs incurred in these renegotiations correspond to R$84,421 and were recorded in profit or loss, as required by IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments.
2.1.4.6Renegotiation of obligations with accounts payable of aircraft services and parts
Renegotiations with suppliers of aircraft services and parts mostly followed the same model as the renegotiation of lease obligations, that is, the Company issued:
•Notes: R$408,541 (equivalent of US$84,386), with interest to be paid quarterly from December 2023, with interest of 7.5% p.a. and principal maturity in June 2030; and
•Convertible to equity: R$159,775 (equivalent to US$33,002), with consecutive quarterly payments, starting in January 2025.
2.2Net working capital and capital structure
As of December 31, 2023, after the renegotiations, the Company's working capital and equity position are as shown below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | December 31, | | December 31, |
Description | | 2023 | | 2022 | | Variation | | 2021 | | Variation |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Net working capital | | (9,704,733) | | | (10,184,169) | | | 479,436 | | | (5,863,917) | | | (4,320,252) | |
Equity | | (21,327,848) | | | (19,007,500) | | | (2,320,348) | | | (18,333,003) | | | (674,497) | |
The variation in the balance of net working capital, which represents a reduction in the deficit of approximately 4.7%, is specifically a consequence of the debt restructuring actions presented in note 2.1.4.
The increase in the negative position of equity is mainly due to the Company's negative financial result, which exceeded operating profit by R$2,380,456 for the year ended December 31, 2023.
In view of the above, despite the increase in the negative equity position, Management assessed and concluded that the Company is capable of continuing its operations and fulfilling its obligations in accordance with the contracted maturities. This assessment is based on the Company's business plan approved by the Board of Directors in December 2023 and the entire liability restructuring process described in these financial statements. The Company's business plans include planned future actions, macroeconomic and aviation sector assumptions, such as level of demand for air transport with corresponding increase in traffic and fares, estimated exchange rates and fuel prices. The Company's Management monitors and informs the Board of Directors about performance in relation to the approved plan.
Based on this conclusion, these consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the going concern principle.
2.3Acceleration of fleet transformation
In 2019, the Company’s Management approved the replacement plan for the Embraer E195 (“E1”) model aircraft. On the same date, the Company signed letters of intent to sublease a total of 54 aircraft and 4 engines to other airline operators (“operators”). The change in the intended use of the aircraft triggered a review to verify the recoverability of the assets (impairment), which resulted in the recognition of a loss of R$2,075,582 and the constitution of an onerous contract of R$821,751 at that time.
Until December 31, 2022, there were partial reversals of provisions for impairment and onerous contracts, in the amount of R$1,102,791, corresponding to 46 aircraft and 4 engines, resulting from changes due to the economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Until December 31, 2023, there was a reversal of provisions for impairment, in the amount of R$245,636, resulting from the decision not to continue with plans to sublease the aircraft. It is worth remembering that these aircraft have never stopped being operated by the Company and will remain in use until the end of the lease contracts.

3.DECLARATION OF MANAGEMENT, BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
The Company’s consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the real (“R$”) as the functional and presentation currency. All currencies shown are expressed in thousands unless otherwise noted.
The Company operates mainly through its aircraft and other assets that support flight operations, making up its cash generating unit (CGU) and its only reportable segment: air transport.
The preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. However, the uncertainty related to these judgments, assumptions and estimates can lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses in future years.
When preparing these consolidated financial statements of the Company, Management used the following disclosure criteria to understand the changes observed in the equity and in its performance, since the end of the last fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, disclosed on March 6, 2023: (i) regulatory requirements; (ii) relevance and specificity of the information on the operations; (iii) informational needs of users of the consolidated financial statements; and (iv) information from other entities participating in the passenger air transport market and cargo.
Management confirms that all relevant information specific to the consolidated financial statements, is presented and corresponds to that used by Management when carrying out its business management activities.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements | |
December 31, 2023 | |
(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, unless otherwise indicated) | |
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for the following material items recognized in the statement of financial position:
Fair value:
•Short-term investments classified as cash and cash equivalents;
•Short-term investments;
•Derivative financial instruments; and
•Debenture conversion right.
3.1.Approval and authorization for issue of the consolidated financial statements
The approval and authorization for the issuance of these consolidated financial statements occurred at the Board of Directors’ meeting held on May,15 2024.
4.MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The material accounting policies adopted by the Company are described in each corresponding explanatory note, except those that refer to more than one explanatory note, described below. The accounting policies have been consistently applied for the comparative years presented and for the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
4.1Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include information about the Company and its subsidiaries in which held direct or indirect control. Control of a subsidiary is achieved when Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns in such subsidiaries and has the power to influence the investee's operating and financial decisions.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries have been prepared using the same accounting policies as the Company.
All assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses related to transactions between related parties are eliminated in full in the consolidation process.
4.2Impairment
The Company performs an annual review for impairment indicators in order to assess events or changes in economic, technological, or operating conditions that may indicate that an asset is impaired.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value, less costs to sell and its value in use. When the carrying amount of an asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, a provision for impairment is set up by adjusting the carrying amount.
The previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset's recoverable amount. The reversal is limited, so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor does it exceed the carrying amount previously determined, net of depreciation or amortization.
In estimating the asset's value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value, using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the weighted average cost of capital for the cash-generating unit.

7.LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
7.1Accounting policies
In the presentation and measurement of financial investments, the Company considers the provisions of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, which determines that financial assets are initially measured at fair value less costs directly attributable to their acquisition. In turn, the subsequent measurement is divided into two categories:
7.1.1Amortized cost
Long-term investments are measured at amortized cost when all the following conditions are met:
•The Company plans to hold the financial asset to collect cash flows set forth in contract;
•Contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”); and
•The Company did not opt for the fair value methodology in order to eliminate measurement inconsistencies or an “accounting mismatch”.
7.1.2Fair value
•Through comprehensive income: short-term investments are measured at fair value through comprehensive income when both of the following conditions are met:
(i)the Company plans to hold the financial asset to collect cash flows set forth in contract and sell the asset; and
(ii)contractual cash flows represent SPPI.
•Through profit or loss: it is considered to be a residual category, in other words, the Company does not plan to hold the financial asset to collect cash flows set forth in contract and/or sell the asset, and is measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Financial instruments designated at fair value through profit or loss are used to eliminate or significantly reduce an accounting mismatch, and are therefore measured at fair value.
7.2TAP Bond
On March 14, 2016, the Company acquired Series A convertible bond issued by TAP ("TAP Bond") in the amount of €90 million. The TAP Bond has a maturity of 10 years from its issuance, with annual interest of 3.75% until September 20, 2016 and 7.5% in subsequent years. The accrued interest will be paid on the maturity date or early redemption of the securities, whichever occurs first.
TAP Bond is being measured at fair value through profit or loss.

8.ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
8.1Accounting policies
Accounts receivable are measured based on the invoiced amount, net of expected losses on receivables, and approximate the fair value given their short-term nature.
Considering the requirements of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, the allowance for expected losses on receivables is measured by applying the simplified approach, through the use of historical data, projecting the expected loss over the life of the contract, by segmenting the receivables portfolio into groups that have the same pattern of collection and according to their respective maturities. Additionally, for certain cases, the Company carries out individual analyses to assess the risks of collection of the receivables to recognize an additional provision, if necessary.

In Brazil, credit card receivables are not exposed to credit risk of the cardholder. The balances can easily be converted into cash, when necessary, by discounting these receivables with credit card companies.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company anticipated the receipt of R$10,359,302 in accounts receivable from credit card administrators, without right of return, with an average rate of 1.0% on the anticipated amount. On the same date, the balance of accounts receivable is net of R$3,349,391 due to such advances (R$1,735,432 on December 31, 2022).

9.AIRCRAFT SUBLEASE
9.1Accounting policies
Aircraft subleases are transactions whereby the lessee, in this case the Company, subleases an asset that is leased from a third party, thus becoming an intermediate lessor. IFRS 16 – Leases, requires an intermediate lessor to classify the sublease as finance or operating.
Considering that the contracts entered into by the Company up to December 31, 2023 cover most of the term of the head lease, the subleases were accounted for as follows:
•Derecognition of the right-of-use asset related to the head lease and recognition of the receivables arising from the sublease contracts at present value;
•Recognition in profit or loss for the year of any difference between the right of use written off and the receivables arising from the sublease contract at present value;

•The lease liability with respect to the head lease continued to be recognized in the statement of financial position;
•Recognition of financial income over the term of the sublease; and
•Recognition of financial expenses relating to obligations of the head lease contract.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company has 3 aircraft under sublease (8 aircraft as of December 31, 2022).

11.DEPOSITS
11.1Accounting policies
11.1.1Security deposits
Security deposits are represented by amounts deposited by the Company, mostly to the lessors of aircraft and engines, as guarantee for the fulfillment of the lease contract. Security deposits do not bear interest and are reimbursable at the end of the contracts. Judicial deposits are also classified in this group.
11.1.2Maintenance reserves
Certain master lease agreements provide for the payment of aircraft and engine maintenance reserves made to the lessors to be held as collateral for the performance of major maintenance activities, and therefore these deposits are reimbursable upon completion of the maintenance event in an amount equal to or less than:
•the amount of the maintenance reserve held by the lessor associated with the specific maintenance event; or
•the costs related to the specific maintenance event.
Substantially all of these maintenance reserve payments are calculated based on an aircraft utilization measure, such as flight hours or cycles.
As of the reporting date, we assess whether the maintenance reserve deposits required by the master lease agreements are expected to be recovered based on the expected future usage of the aircraft and timing of future maintenance events. A provision for loss is recognized for deposits that are not likely to be recovered.
Aircraft and engine maintenance reserves are classified as current or non-current depending on the dates on which the amounts are expected to be recovered.

Income from foreign subsidiaries is subject to taxation in accordance with the rates and legislation in force. In Brazil such income is taxed in accordance with Law No. 12,973/14, which states that a parent company of a foreign subsidiary adds such income to its taxable income for the period.
14.1.2Deferred taxes
Deferred taxes represent credits and debits on tax loss carryforwards, as well as temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases. Deferred tax and contribution assets and liabilities are classified as non-current. An impairment loss on these assets is recognized when the Company's internal studies indicate that the future use of these credits is not likely.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are presented net if there is a legally enforceable right to set off tax liabilities against tax assets, and if they are related to taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, therefore, for presentation purposes, balances of tax assets and liabilities which do not meet the legal criteria for realization are disclosed separately. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the rates that are expected to be applicable in the period in which the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on the tax rates and legislation in force at the reporting date. The projections of future taxable profits on tax loss carryforwards are prepared based on the business plans and are reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors.
14.1.3Uncertainty over income tax treatments
On January 1, 2019, the accounting standard IFRIC 23 – Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments, became effective, addressing the application of recognition and measurement requirements when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments.
The Company analyzes relevant tax decisions of higher courts and whether they conflict in any way with the positions adopted. For known uncertain tax positions, when necessary, the Company establishes a provision based on the legal opinions issued by its legal advisors. The Company evaluates continuously the positions taken in which there are uncertainties about the tax treatment adopted.
14.1.4International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules
Amendments to IAS 12 – Income Taxes, became effective in response to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) Pillar Two rules on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”):
These changes had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

15.PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
15.1Accounting policies
Property and equipment, are stated at acquisition cost.
Depreciation is calculated according to the estimated economic useful life of each asset using the straight-line method. The estimated economic useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed annually and the effects of any changes in estimates are accounted for prospectively.
The carrying amounts of property and equipment items are tested annually to identify any indication of impairment or when facts or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is greater than the estimated recoverable amount.
An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon its disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from the continued use of the asset. Any gains or losses arising on the sale or derecognition of an item are determined by the difference between the amount received on the sale and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss.
The Company receives credits from manufacturers when purchasing certain aircraft and engines, which can be used to pay for maintenance services. These credits are recorded as a reduction in the acquisition cost of aircraft and related engines.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company hired experts to review the useful life of its property and equipment. This review had no impact on these financial statements.
15.1.1Sale and leaseback transactions
Initially, sale and leaseback transactions are analyzed within the scope of IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers, in order to verify whether the performance obligation has been satisfied, and therefore to account for the sale of the asset. If this requirement is not met, it is a finance arrangement with the asset given as guarantee.
If the requirements related to the performance obligation set out are met, the Company measures a right-of-use asset arising from the sale and leaseback transaction in proportion to the carrying amount of the asset related to the right of use retained by the Company. Accordingly, only the gains or losses related to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor are recognized.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company carried out a “sale and leaseback” transaction for an engine, where the proceeds, net of sales costs, amounted to a loss of R$6,356 (gain of R$33,155 as of December 31, 2022) and was recognized in the statement of operations under the line item “Other”.
15.1.2Advance payments for acquisition of aircraft
Advance payments for the acquisition of aircraft are recognized in property and equipment.

16.RIGHT-OF-USE ASSETS
16.1Accounting policies
IFRS 16 – Leases, requires lessees at the commencement date of a contract to recognize a lease liability to make payments and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset over the lease term (a right-of-use asset - “ROU”). Lessees must separately recognize interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense of the right-of-use asset in profit or loss.
Lessees are also required to reassess the lease liability in the event of certain events, for example, a change in the lease term, or a change in future lease payment flows as a result of a change in an index or rate used to determine such payments. In general, the lessee must recognize the remeasurement amount of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
Considering the dollar-denominated environment in which the Company raises funds, in determining the discount rate the Company used as a basis incremental borrowing rates at the commencement and/or modification dates of the lease agreements in foreign currency.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, unless otherwise indicated) | |
16.1.1Componentization of aircraft
At the receipt and initial recognition of right-of-use assets, the Company allocates the total cost of the aircraft between five major components, airframe, auxiliary power unit (“APU”) or propeller, landing gear and two engines. The useful life of each component is determined according to the estimated period until the next maintenance event, limited to the end of the lease term and/or the estimated useful life of the component.
16.1.2Capitalization of heavy maintenance events
Heavy maintenance events that increase the useful life of assets are capitalized. Such contracts can be of the “power-by-the-hour” type, in which the amounts owed to maintenance providers are calculated based on the flight hours and cycles.
Subsequently, they are depreciated during the respective period of use considering the shorter period between the next scheduled maintenance event or until the end of the lease. Repairs and other routine maintenance are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
16.1.3Recognition of contractual obligations relating to return of aircraft
The costs resulting from the maintenance events that will be carried out immediately before the return of the aircraft to the lessors are recognized as an obligation at present value, with an offsetting entry increasing the cost of the asset, as long as they can be reasonably estimated. Assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lease contract term, while liabilities are updated by interest rates and exchange effects.

17.INTANGIBLE ASSETS
17.1Accounting policies
17.1.1Definite useful life
Intangible assets acquired are measured at cost at the time of their initial recognition. After initial recognition, intangible assets with finite useful lives, generally software, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, where applicable. Intangible assets generated internally, excluding development costs, are not capitalized and the expense is recognized in profit or loss when incurred.
17.1.2Indefinite useful life
17.1.2.1Goodwill
Goodwill was recognized from the business combinations of IntelAzul and Conecta. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the CGU to which goodwill has been allocated with its value in use. Management makes judgments and establishes assumptions to assess the impact of macroeconomic and operational changes, in order to estimate future cash flows and measure the recoverable amount of its CGU.
17.1.2.2Rights of operations in airports (slots)
In the business combinations of IntelAzul and Conecta, slots were acquired that were recognized at their fair values on the acquisition date and not amortized. The estimated useful life of these rights was considered indefinite due to several factors and considerations, including applications and authorizations for permission to operate in Brazil and limited availability of operating rights at the most important airports in terms of air traffic volume. Slots are tested annually for impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the CGU to which slots have been allocated with its value in use.

17.3Impairment of intangible assets without a finite useful life
As of December 31, 2023, the Company performed its annual impairment test of the carrying amount of its cash generating unit to which goodwill and slots are allocated, through determining its value in use by reference to future discounted cash flows.
The assumptions used in the impairment tests of goodwill and slots are consistent with the Company's operating plans and internal projections, prepared for a period of five years. After this period, a perpetuity rate of growth of operating projections is assumed. The discounted cash flow that determined the value in use of the cash-generating unit was prepared according to the Company’s business plan approved by the Board of Directors in December 2023.
The following assumptions were considered:
•Fleet and capacity: plan for operational fleet, utilization and capacity of aircraft in each route;
•Passenger revenue: historical revenue per seat per kilometer flown with growth in line with the Company's business plan;
•Operating costs: specific performance indicators by cost line, in line with the Company's business plan, as well as macroeconomic assumptions; and
•Investment needs: aligned with the Company’s business plan.
The macroeconomic assumptions commonly adopted include the Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) and projections of the US dollar, both obtained from the Focus Report issued by the Central Bank of Brazil, in addition to future kerosene barrel prices and interest rates, obtained from specific Bloomberg disclosures.
The result of the goodwill and slots impairment test demonstrated that the estimated recoverable amount of the CGU is significantly greater than its carrying amount and, therefore, no impairment loss was identified. To estimate the value in-use of the CGU, a pre-tax discount rate of 11.4% (11.5% as of December 31, 2022) and a growth rate in perpetuity of 3.0% (3.0% as of December 31, 2022) were used.

28.PROVISIONS
28.1Accounting policies
28.1.1Provision for return of aircraft and engines
Aircraft and engines held under lease agreements without purchase options have contractual obligations establishing conditions for their return.
The Company provides for return costs, since these are present obligations arising from past events and which will generate future disbursements, which are reliably measured.
These expenses basically refer to aircraft reconfiguration (interior and exterior), obtaining licenses and technical certifications, verifications of returns, maintenance, painting, etc., as established in the contract. The estimated cost of return is initially recognized at present value as part of the cost of right-of-use assets, and the provision for aircraft return costs is recorded in the “Provisions” account. After initial recognition, the liability is updated according to the capital remuneration rate estimated by the Company, with a corresponding entry recorded in the financial result. Any changes in the estimate of expenses to be incurred are recognized prospectively against the right of use asset or in the statement of operations for the year, if the right-of-use balance is insufficient.
28.1.2Tax, civil, labor and other risks
The Company is party to several legal and administrative proceedings, mainly in Brazil. Assessments of the likelihood of loss in these cases include an analysis of the available evidence, the hierarchy of laws, the available case laws, the most recent court decisions and their significance in the legal system, as well as the assessment of external lawyers.
Provisions are revised and adjusted to reflect changes in circumstances, such as the applicable statute of limitations, conclusions of tax inspections or additional exposures identified based on new matters or court decisions.

The Company’s Management believes that the provision for tax, civil and labor risks is sufficient to cover any losses on legal and administrative proceedings.
28.1.3Post-employment benefits
The Company recognizes actuarial liabilities related to health insurance benefits offered to its employees in accordance with IAS 19 – Employee Benefits. Actuarial gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income based on the actuarial report prepared by independent experts, while the current service cost and the interest cost are recognized in profit or loss.

30.2Treasury shares
30.2.1Accounting policies
Own equity instruments that are acquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of these equity instruments. Any difference between the carrying amount and the fair value, if the share is reissued, is recognized in share premium.

In November 2022 approved the repurchase plan of 1,300,000 preferred shares maturing in 18 months, to keep them in treasury for subsequent payment of the installments of the Restricted Stock Option plan. Until December 31, 2023, within the said plan, the Company reacquired 851,868 shares.
31.EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
31.1Accounting policies
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss for the year attributed to the Company's controlling shareholders by the weighted average number of all classes of shares outstanding, except treasury shares, during the year.
Diluted earnings (loss) per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding, except treasury shares, by instruments potentially convertible into shares. However, due to the losses reported in the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, these instruments issued by the company have a non-dilutive effect and therefore were not considered in the total number of shares outstanding to determine the diluted loss per share.
Although there are differences between common and preferred shares as to voting and preemptive rights in the event of liquidation, the Company's preferred shares do not grant the right to receive fixed dividends. Preferred shares have economic power and the right to receive dividends 75 times greater than common shares. Accordingly, the Company considers that the economic power of preferred shares is greater than that of common shares. Therefore, the profit or loss for the year attributable to the controlling shareholders is allocated proportionally in relation to the total economic participation of the amount of common and preferred shares.

32.SHARE-BASED PAYMENT
32.1Accounting policies
The Company offers executives share-based compensation plans to be settled with Company shares or cash, according to which the Company receives services as consideration.
The cost of instruments is measured based on fair value on the date they were granted or at the end of the reporting period for phantom shares. To determine the fair value of purchase options, the Company uses the Black-Scholes model.
The cost of transactions settled with equity securities is recognized in profit or loss under “Salaries and benefits”, together with a corresponding increase in the “Capital reserve” or “Salaries and benefits” liability for phantom shares, over the period in which performance and/or service condition are met, ending on the date on which the employee acquires the full right to the award (vesting date) or settlement and cancellation for phantom shares. The outstanding liability is revalued at fair value at the end of the reporting period.
32.2Compensation plans
The Company has three share-based compensation plans: the Stock Option Plan (“Option Plan”), the Restricted Stock Option Plan (“RSU”) and the Stock Purchase Plan ("phantom shares"). All of them aim to stimulate and promote the alignment of the objectives of the Company, shareholders, management and employees, and mitigate the risks in the generation of value of the Company by the loss of its executives, strengthening their commitment and productivity in the long-term results.

33.REVENUE
33.1Accounting policies
33.1.1Revenue from passenger transport
Revenue from passenger transport is recognized when air transportation is actually provided. Tickets sold, but not yet used are recorded as “Air traffic liability and loyalty program” account, net of breakage revenue estimate (note 25).
Breakage revenue represents tickets issued that are expected to expire unused, that is, passengers who have purchased tickets and are very likely not to use them. Breakage revenue is estimated using statistical models primarily based on historical data, ticket terms and customers’ travel behavior. Breakage revenue is recognized in proportion to the usage of the related tickets. At least annually, the calculations and the statistical model are reviewed in order to reflect and capture changes in customer behavior regarding ticket expiration.
Other revenues that include charter services, flight rescheduling fees, baggage dispatch and other additional services are recognized when the services are rendered.
In the loyalty program, customers accumulate points based on the amount spent on air transportation and in accordance with the partners' rules. The amount of points earned depends on the customer's category in the loyalty program, market, fare class and other factors including promotional campaigns.
Using historical data, the Company estimates the points that will expire without being used and recognizes the corresponding revenue in the issue of the point (breakage) considering the average exchange term.
When the transportation service occurs, the portion of the ticket price allocated to air transportation is recognized as revenue and the portion corresponding to loyalty program points is deferred in accordance with IFRS 15.
The Company determines the estimated selling price of the air transportation and points as if each element had been sold on a separate basis and was therefore based on the stand-alone selling price.
The Company also sells loyalty program points to customers and partners, including credit card companies, financial institutions and retail companies. The related revenue is deferred and recognized when points are redeemed, based on the weighted average price of points sold.
Issued points not yet used are recognized under “Air traffic liability and loyalty program”, until their effective use or expiration.
33.1.2Other revenue
Other revenues mainly include the transportation of cargo and travel packages and are recognized when performance obligations are met.

35.4Credit risk
Credit risk is inherent to the Company's operating and financial activities, mainly disclosed in cash and cash equivalents, long-term investments, accounts receivable, aircraft sublease, security deposits and maintenance reserves. Financial assets classified as cash and cash equivalents are deposited with counterparties that have a minimum investment grade rating in the assessment made by agencies S&P Global Ratings, Moody's or Fitch (between AAA and A+). The TAP Bond is guaranteed by intellectual property rights and credits related to the TAP mileage program.
Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal classification criteria and the carrying amounts represent the maximum credit risk exposure. Outstanding receivables from customers are frequently monitored by the Company and, when necessary, allowances for expected credit losses are recognized.
