Annex - Financial derivate instruments

Management’s discussion about derivative financial instrument policies explaining whether these policies allow them to be used only for hedging or other purposes such as trading.

The Company´s activities are exposed to different financial risks resulting from exogenous variables that are not under its control, but whose effects can be potentially adverse. The Company’s global risk management program is focused on existing uncertainty in the financial markets and is intended to minimize potential adverse effects on net earnings and working capital requirements. Volaris uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate part of these risks and does not acquire financial derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The Company has a Risk Management team which identifies and evaluates the exposure to different financial risks. It is also in charge of designing strategies to mitigate them. Accordingly, it has a Hedging Policy in place and procedures related thereto, on which those strategies are based. All policies, procedures and strategies are approved by different administrative entities based on the Corporate Governance.

The Hedging Policy, as well as its processes are approved by different administrative entities according to the Corporate Governance. The Hedging Policy establishes that derivative financial instrument transactions will be approved and implemented/monitored by certain committees. Compliance with the Hedging Policy and its procedures are subject to internal and external audits as well as a Corporate Governance.

The Hedging Policy holds a conservative position regarding derivative financial instruments, since it only allows the company to enter into positions that are correlated with the primary position to be hedged (in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards “IFRS”, under which the Company prepares its financial information). The Company’s objective is to apply hedge accounting treatment to all derivative financial instruments.

Volaris aims to transfer a portion of market risk to its financial counterparties through the use of derivative financial instruments, described as follows:

Fuel price fluctuation risk: Volaris’ contractual agreements with its fuel suppliers are linked to the market price index of the underlying asset; therefore, it is exposed to an increase in such price. Volaris enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge against significant increases in the fuel price. The instruments are traded on over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets, with approved counterparties and within limits specified on the Hedging Policy. As of the date of this report, the Company uses Asian Call Options and Asian Zero-Cost Collars. Asian instruments consider the monthly average price of the underlying, hence it matches the outflows of Volaris main fuel supplier. All derivative financial instruments qualified as hedge accounting.

Foreign currency risk: While Mexican Peso is the functional currency of the company, a significant portion of its operating expenses is denominated in U.S. dollar; thus, Volaris relies on sustained U.S. dollar cash flows coming from operations in the United States of America and Central America to support part of its commitments in such currency, however there’s still a mismatch. Foreign currency risk arises from possible unfavorable movements in the exchange rate which could have a negative impact in the company’s cash flows. To mitigate this risk, the Hedging Policy allows the Company to use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments. As of the date of this report, the Company does not have any outstanding position on foreign exchange financial instruments.

22 of 78

Interest rate variation risk: The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates is related primarily to the Company’s flight equipment lease agreements and long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of such exposure. As of the date of this report, the Company has an outstanding position on interest rate derivatives (CAP).

Outstanding derivative financial instruments may require collateral to guarantee a portion of the unsettled mark-to-market loss prior to maturity. The amount of collateral delivered in pledge, is presented as part of current assets under the caption guarantee deposits. It is assessed reviewed and adjusted accordingly on a daily basis.

Trading markets and eligible counterparties

The Company only operates in over the counter (“OTC”) markets. To minimize counterparty risk, the Company enters into ISDA agreements with counterparties with recognized financial capacity; therefore, significant risks of default on any of them are not foreseen. As of December 30, 2020, the Company has 8 ISDAs in place with different financial institutions and was active with 3 of them during the fourth quarter 2020.

Those agreements have a Credit Support Annex ("CSA") section, which sets credit conditions and guidelines for margin calls that are stipulated therein, including minimum amounts and rounding off. Hedging positions are distributed among different counterparties with the purpose of diversifying our exposure, and thus, optimizing financial conditions of different CSA thresholds. Moreover, the Company has internal resources to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments.

Generic description of the valuation techniques, distinguishing instruments that are valued at cost or fair value, as well as valuation methods and techniques.

The designation of calculation agents is documented at the ISDAs whereby Volaris operates. The Company uses the valuations provided by the financial institutions of each derivative financial instrument. Afterwards, that fair value is compared with internally developed valuation techniques that use valid and recognized methodologies based on the assets listed on its respective market and using Bloomberg as the main source of information for the levels.

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the Company elaborate its financial statements; Volaris performs prospective effectiveness tests, as well as hedging records in which derivative financial instruments are classified in accordance with the type of underlying asset (monitored and updated constantly). As of the date of this report, all of the Company’s financial derivative instruments are considered effective and, therefore, are recorded under hedge accounting assumptions

Management discussion on internal and external sources of liquidity that could be used to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments

The Company only operates with financial counterparties with which it has an ISDA agreement. Those agreements have a Credit Support Annex ("CSA") section, which sets credit conditions and guidelines for margin calls that are stipulated therein, including minimum amounts and rounding off. Hedging positions are distributed among different counterparties with the purpose of diversifying our exposure, and thus, optimizing financial conditions of different CSA thresholds. Moreover, the Company has internal resources to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments.

Explanation of changes in exposure to the main risks identified and in managing them, as well as contingencies and events known or expected by management that can affect future reports.

The Company’s activities are exposed to several market risks, such as fuel price, exchange rates and interest rates. During the fourth quarter of 2020, there was no evidence of significant changes that could modify the exposure to the risks described above, a situation that can change in the future.

Quantitative information

As of the date of this report, all the derivative financial instruments held by the Company qualified as hedge accounting; for this reason, the changes in their fair value will only be the result of changes in the price levels of the underlying asset, and it will not modify the objective of the hedge for which it was initially entered for.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes were authorized for their issuance by the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Enrique Beltranena, and Senior Vice President Chief Legal Officer and Corporate Affairs and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Jaime E. Pous, on February 16, 2021. Subsequent events have been considered through that date.

a) Relevant events

COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 was first reported on December 31, 2019 in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China. From Wuhan, the disease spread rapidly to other parts of China as well as other countries, including Mexico and the United States, growing into a global pandemic. Since the outbreak began, countries have responded by taking various measures including imposing quarantines and medical screenings, restricting travel, limiting public gatherings and suspending certain activities. In terms of the impact, the Company reduced its capacity as compared to the same months in 2019 as measured by available seat miles (“ASMs”) by approximately 82% for the month of April, approximately 88% for the month of May, approximately 59% for the month of June, approximately 37% for the month of July, approximately 21% for the month of August, approximately 16% for the month of September, approximately 16% for the month of October, approximately 2% for the month of November and approximately 2% for the month of December. Additionally, the Company suspended service on certain routes. In particular, Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador imposed operational and migration restrictions that made it impossible to operate international passenger flights to those countries.

The Company has taken actions to preserve liquidity and sustain its operations during the period, establishing supplier's payment deferral agreements, reducing management´s and operational staff compensation under temporary and voluntary leaves of absence, deferring and cutting capital expenditures to the minimum and non-essential operational expenses and other certain measures, while the operations are reduced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Issuance asset backed trust notes

On June 20, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary Concesionaria, issued 15,000,000 asset backed trust notes (certificados bursátiles fiduciarios; the “CEBUR”), under the ticker symbol VOLARCB 19 for the amount of Ps.1.5 billion Mexican pesos by CIBanco, S.A., Institución de Banca Multiple, acting as Trustee under the Irrevocable Trust number CIB/3249 created by Concesionaria in the first issuance under a program approved by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) for an amount of up to Ps.3.0 billion Mexican pesos. The CEBUR are backed by future receivables under agreements entered into with credit card processors with respect to funds received from the sale of airplane tickets and ancillaries denominated in Mexican pesos, through credit cards VISA and Mastercard, via the Company’s website, mobile app and travel agencies. The CEBUR were listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange, have a maturity of five years and will pay an interest rate of Tasa de Interes Interbancaria de Equilibrio (“TIIE”) 28 plus 175 basis points.

On February 16, 2018, one of the Company´s shareholders concluded the conversion of 45,968,598 Series B Shares for the equivalent number of Series A Shares. This conversion has no impact either on the total number of outstanding shares nor on the earnings-per-share calculation.

*The Companies have not started operations yet in Guatemala and El Salvador.

**The Company has not started operations yet

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.

Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if, and only if, the Company has:

(i)

Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).

(ii)

Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.

(iii)

The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

(i)

The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee.

(ii)

Rights arising from other contractual arrangements.

(iii)

The Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

All intercompany balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated in full on consolidation.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Mexican pesos at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in profit or loss.

2. Impact of new International Financial Reporting Standards

New and amended standards and interpretations

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2020. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The nature and the effect of these changes are disclosed below:

Amendments to IFRS 3: Definition of a Business

The amendment to IFRS 3 Business Combinations clarifies that to be considered a business, an integrated set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that, together, significantly contribute to the ability to create output. Furthermore, it clarifies that a business can exist without including all of the inputs and processes needed to create outputs. These amendments did not have an impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform

The amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement provide a number of reliefs, which apply to all hedging relationships that are directly affected by interest rate benchmark reform. A hedging relationship is affected if the reform gives rise to uncertainty about the timing and/or amount of benchmark-based cash flows of the hedged item or the hedging instrument. These amendments had no impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8 Definition of Material

The amendments provide a new definition of material that states, “information is material if omitting, misstating or obscuring it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements, which provide financial information about a specific reporting entity.” The amendments clarify that materiality will depend on the nature or magnitude of information, either individually or in combination with other information, in

the context of the financial statements. A misstatement of information is material if it could reasonably be expected to influence decisions made by the primary users. These amendments had no impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to IFRS 16 Covid-19 Related Rent Concessions

On 28 May 2020, the IASB issued Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions - amendment to IFRS 16 Leases The amendments provide relief to lessees from applying IFRS 16 guidance on lease modification accounting for rent concessions arising as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a Covid-19 related rent concession from a lessor is a lease modification. A lessee that makes this election accounts for any change in lease payments resulting from the Covid-19 related rent concession the same way it would account for the change under IFRS 16, if the change were not a lease modification. This amendment had impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

3. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

4. Convenience translation

U.S. dollar amounts at December 31, 2020 shown in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included solely for the convenience of the reader and are translated from Mexican pesos, using an exchange rate of Ps.19.9487 per U.S. dollar, as reported by the Mexican Central Bank (Banco de México) as the rate for the payment of obligations denominated in foreign currency payable in Mexico in effect on December 31, 2020. Such translation should not be construed as a representation that the peso amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate. The referred information in U.S. dollars is solely for information purposes and does not represent the amounts are in accordance with IFRS or the equivalent in U.S. dollars in which the transactions were conducted or in which the amounts presented in Mexican pesos can be translated or realized.

5. Seasonality of operations

The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of those for the entire year because the business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Company expect demand to be greater during the summer in the northern hemisphere, in December and around Easter, which can fall either in the first or second quarter, compared to the rest of the year. The Company and subsidiaries generally experience their lowest levels of passenger traffic in February, September and October, given their proportion of fixed costs, seasonality can affect their profitability from quarter to quarter. This information is provided to allow for a better understanding of the results; however, management has concluded that this does not constitute “highly seasonal” as considered by IAS 34.

6. Financial instruments and risk management

Financial risk management

The Company’s activities are exposed to different financial risks stemmed from exogenous variables which are not under their control but whose effects might be potentially adverse such as: (i) market risk, (ii) credit risk, and (iii) liquidity risk.

The Company’s global risk management program is focused on uncertainty in the financial markets and tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on net earnings and working capital requirements. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge part of such risks. The Company does not enter into derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The sources of these financial risks exposures are included in both “on balance sheet” exposures, such as recognized financial assets and liabilities, as well as in “off-balance sheet” contractual agreements and on highly expected forecasted transactions. These on and off-balance sheet exposures, depending on their profiles, do represent potential cash flow variability exposure, in terms of receiving less inflows or facing the need to meet outflows which are higher than expected, therefore increase the working capital requirements.

Since adverse movements erode the value of recognized financial assets and liabilities, as well some other off-balance sheet financial exposures, there is a need for value preservation, by transforming the profiles of these fair value exposures. The Company has a Finance and Risk Management department, which identifies and measures financial risk exposures, in order to design strategies to mitigate or transform the profile of certain risk exposures, which are taken up to the corporate governance level for approval.

Market risk

a) Jet fuel price risk

Since the contractual agreements with jet fuel suppliers include reference to jet fuel index, the Company is exposed to fuel price risk which might have an impact in the forecasted consumption volumes. The Company’s jet fuel risk management policy aims to provide the Company with protection against increases in jet fuel prices. In an effort to achieve the aforesaid, the risk management policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments available on over the counter (“OTC”) markets with approved counterparties and within approved limits. Aircraft jet fuel consumed in the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 represented 28% and 38%, of the Company’s operating expenses, respectively. Additionally, the aircraft jet fuel consumed in the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 represented 26% and 38%, of the Company’s operating expenses, respectively.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020; did not enter into derivative financial instruments to hedge US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian call options designated to hedge 23,967 thousand gallons. Such hedges represented a portion of the projected consumption for the 2Q20, 3Q20 & 1Q21. Additionally, during the same period, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 Asian Zero-Cost collar options designated to hedge 81,646 thousand gallons. Such hedges represent a portion of the projected consumption for the 2Q20, 2H20 & 2Q21.

36 of 78

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian call options designated to hedge 13,492 thousand gallons. Such hedges represented a portion of the projected consumption for the 4Q 2019. Additionally, during the same period, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 Asian Zero-Cost collar options designated to hedge 70,136 thousand gallons.

Such hedges represent a portion of the projected consumption for the 3Q2019 and the year 2020.

In accordance with IFRS 9 the Company separates the intrinsic value from the extrinsic value of an option contract; as such, the change in the intrinsic value can be designated as hedge accounting. Because extrinsic value (time and volatility values) of the Asian call options is related to a “transaction related hedged item”, it is required to be segregated and accounted for as a cost of hedging in OCI and accrued as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the related hedged item matures and therefore impacts profit and loss.

The underlying (US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54) of the options held by the Company is a consumption asset (energy commodity), which is not in the Company’s inventory. Instead, it is directly consumed by the Company’s fleet at different airport terminals. Therefore, although a non-financial asset is involved, its initial recognition does not generate a book adjustment in the Company’s inventories.

Rather, it is initially accounted for in the Company’s OCI and a reclassification adjustment is made from OCI to profit and loss and recognized in the same period or periods in which the hedged item is expected to be allocated to profit and loss. Furthermore, the Company hedges its forecasted jet fuel consumption month after month, which is congruent with the maturity date of the monthly serial Asian call options and Zero-Cost collars.

As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of the outstanding US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel Asian call options was an unrealized gain of Ps.206; as for the Zero- Cost collars it was an unrealized loss of Ps.9,657 and is presented as part of the financial assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

As of December 31, 2019, the fair value of the outstanding US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel Zero-Cost Collars options was an unrealized gain of Ps.133,567 and is presented as part of the financial assets and financial liabilities in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the intrinsic value of the Asian call options recycled to the fuel cost was an expense of Ps.0 and Ps.46,308, respectively, which was recognized in the fuel cost.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the intrinsic value of the Asian call options recycled to unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations cost was an expense of Ps.33,626 (Ps.20,645 which was recognized in the fuel cost and an expense of Ps.12,981 in finance cost). For the year ended December 31, 2019, the intrinsic value of the Asian call options recycled to the fuel cost was an expense of Ps.61,067.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the intrinsic value of the Zero-Cost Collars recycled to unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations cost was an expense of Ps.218,953 (Ps.218,953 which was recognized in the fuel cost and an expense of Ps.0 in finance cost). For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the intrinsic value of the Zero-Cost Collars options recycled to the fuel cost was nil.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the intrinsic value of the Zero-Cost Collars recycled to unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations cost was an expense of Ps.1,228,819 (Ps.835,884 which was recognized in the fuel cost and an expense of Ps.392,935 in finance cost). For the year ended December 31, 2019, the intrinsic value of the Zero-Cost Collars options recycled to the fuel cost was an expense of Ps.9,477, respectively.

For the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized an unwind of the Zero cost collar of Ps.0 and Ps.42,643, respectively which was recognized as part of finance cost. During the year ended December 31, 2019 the derivative financial instruments were effectiveness.

The amount of cost of hedging derived from the extrinsic value changes of the jet fuel hedged position as of December 31, 2020 recognized in other comprehensive income totals Ps.21,650 (The positive cost of hedging in December 2019 totals Ps.133,567), and will be recycled to the fuel cost during 2021, as these options expire on a monthly basis and the jet fuel is consumed.

b) Foreign currency risk

Though the Mexican Peso is the functional currency of the Company, a significant portion of its operating expenses are denominated in U.S. dollar; thus, Volaris relies on sustained U.S. dollar cash flows coming from operations in the United States of America and Central America to support part of its commitments in such currency, however there’s still a mismatch.

Foreign currency risk arises from possible unfavorable movements in the exchange rate which could have a negative impact in the Company’s cash flows. To mitigate this risk, the Company may use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.

While most of the Company’s revenue is generated in Mexican pesos, 29% of its revenues came from operations in the United States of America and Central America for the year ended on December 31, 2019.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, 24% of the Company´s revenues came from operations in the United States of America and Central America (27% for the three months ended December 31, 2019).

For the year ended December 31, 2020, 27% of the Company’s revenues came from operations in the United States of America and Central America (29% for the year ended December 31, 2019).

For the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the U.S. dollar denominated collections accounted were 44% and 45%, respectively.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 the U.S. dollar denominated collections accounted were 44% and 43%, respectively.

Company´s expenditures, particularly those related to aircraft leasing and acquisition, are denominated in U.S. dollar. In addition, although jet fuel for those flights originated in Mexico are paid in Mexican pesos, the price formula is impacted by the Mexican Pesos /U.S. dollars exchange rate.

The Company’s foreign exchange exposure as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, is as set forth below:

	Thousands of U.S. dollars

At February 16, 2021, date of issuance of these financial statements, the exchange rate was Ps.19.9622 per U.S. dollar.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not enter into foreign exchange rate derivatives financial instruments. All the Company’s remaining position in FX plain vanilla forwards matured throughout the first quarter of 2019 (January).

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the net gain (loss) on the foreign currency forward contracts was Ps.4,199, which was recognized as part of rental expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

Hedging relationships with non-derivative financial instruments

During 2019, the Company established hedges on its U.S. dollar denominated revenues through a non-derivative financial instrument, using the lease liabilities denominated in U.S. dollar as a hedge instrument. This hedging relationship was designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted revenues to mitigate the volatility of the foreign exchange variation arising from the revaluation of the lease liabilities.

During the three months period ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded of these hedges was Ps.173,784 and Ps.33,236, respectively, which has been presented as part of the total operating revenue.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded of these hedges was Ps.411,222 and Ps.72,949, respectively, which has been presented as part of the total operating revenue.

Additionally, during 2019, the Company established hedges on a portion of its forecasted fuel expense, through a non-derivative financial instrument, using as a hedge instrument a portion of its U.S. dollar denominated monetary assets. This hedging relationship was designated as a cash flow hedge of forecasted fuel expense to mitigate the volatility of the foreign exchange variation arising from the revaluation of this portion of U.S. dollar denominated monetary asset.

During the three months period ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded of these hedges was Ps.84,234 and Ps.16,679, respectively, which has been presented as part of the total fuel expense.

During the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company recorded of these hedges was Ps.409,174 and Ps.57,030, respectively, which has been presented as part of the total fuel expense.

For the hedging relationships described, the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s change in fair value is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income or OCI. The accounting records corresponding to the recycling of the OCI are made in accordance with IFRS 9. Under this Standard, the portion recorded in OCI is recognized in the results in the same period in which the expected forecast transaction occurs hedging for cash flows affect the result of the period. As of December 31, 2020, OCI includes a negative foreign exchange effect of Ps.1,577,473. As of December 31, 2019, OCI includes a positive foreign exchange effect of Ps.14,096.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations and flight equipment operating lease agreements with floating interest rates.

40 of 78

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

The Company’s results are affected by fluctuations in certain benchmark market interest rates due to the impact that such changes may have on operational lease payments indexed to the London Inter Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”).

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates and accounts for these instruments as an accounting hedge.

In most cases, when a derivative can be tailored within the terms and it perfectly matches cash flows of a leasing agreement, it may be designated as a “cash flow hedge” and the effective portion of fair value variations are recorded in equity until the date the cash flow of the hedged lease payment is recognized in unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Irrevocable Trust number CIB/3249, whose trustor is the Company subsidiary Concesionaria, entered into cap hedging instrument (the “Cap”) to mitigate the risk due to interest rate increases on the CEBUR coupon payments. The floating rate coupons has a TIIE 28 interest rate which is are limited to a Cap of 10% on the reference rate for the life of the CEBUR and have the same amortization schedule. Thus, the cash flows of the CEBUR are perfectly matched by the hedging instrument. The Cap commencement date was July 19, 2019 and the maturity date is June 20, 2024; consists of 59 caplets with the same specifications as the CEBUR coupons for reference rate determination, coupon term, and fair value. 

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the fair value of the Cap was an unrealized gain of Ps.326 and Ps.2,695, respectively, and is presented as part of the financial assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position. For the three-month and year ended December 31, 2020, the net loss on the interest rate Cap contracts was Ps.343 y Ps.1,468, which was recognized as part of the finance cost in the unaudited interim condensed statements of operations.

d) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company has insufficient funds to meet its obligations.

Because of the cyclical nature of the business, the operations, and its investment and financing needs related to the acquisition of new aircraft and renewal of its fleet, the Company requires liquid funds to meet its obligations.

The Company attempts to manage its cash and cash equivalents and its financial assets, relating the term of investments with those of its obligations. Its policy is that the average term of its investments may not exceed the average term of its obligations. This cash and cash equivalents position is invested in highly liquid short-term instruments through financial entities.

The Company has future obligations related to maturities of bank borrowings, leases liabilities and derivative contracts.

The Company concluded that it has a low concentration of risk since it has access to alternate sources of funding.

Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that any counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments including derivatives.

Financial instruments that expose the Company to credit risk involve mainly cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Credit risk on cash equivalents relate to amounts invested with major financial institutions.

Credit risk on accounts receivable relates primarily to amounts receivable from the major international credit card companies. The Company has a high receivable turnover; hence management believes credit risk is minimal due to the nature of its businesses, which have a large portion of their sales settled in credit cards.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Some of the outstanding derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. However, the Company does not expect any of its counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The amount of such credit exposure is generally the unrealized gain, if any, in such contracts.

To manage credit risk, the Company selects counterparties based on credit assessments, limits overall exposure to any single counterparty and monitors the market position with each counterparty. The Company does not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. At December 31, 2020, the Company concluded that its credit risk related to its outstanding derivative financial instruments is low, since it has no significant concentration with any single counterparty and it only enters into derivative financial instruments with banks with high credit-rating assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Capital management

Management believes that the resources available to the Company are enough for its present requirements and will be sufficient to meet its anticipated requirements for capital expenditures and other cash requirements for the 2020 fiscal year.

The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximize the shareholder’s value. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirement, other than the legal reserve.

Fair value measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received from sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

(i)

In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

(ii)

In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is assessed using the course of thought which market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

The assessment of a non-financial asset’s fair value considers the market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those for which carrying amounts are reasonable approximations of fair values:

All intercompany balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated in full.

b) Revenue recognition

Passenger revenues:

Revenues from the air transportation of passengers are recognized at the earlier of when the service is provided or when the non-refundable ticket expires at the date of the scheduled travel.

Ticket sales for future flights are initially recognized as liabilities under the caption “unearned transportation revenue” and, once the transportation service is provided by the Company or when the non-refundable ticket expires at the date of the scheduled travel, the earned revenue is recognized as passenger ticket revenues and the unearned transportation revenue is reduced by the same amount. All of the Company’s tickets are non-refundable and are subject to change upon a payment of a fee. Additionally, the Company does not operate a frequent flier program.

The most significant passenger revenue includes revenues generated from: (i) fare revenue and (ii) other passenger revenues. Other passenger revenues include but are not limited to fees charged for excess baggage, bookings through the call center or third-party agencies, advanced seat selection, itinerary changes, charters and airport passenger facility charges for no-show tickets. They are recognized as revenue when the obligation of passenger transportation service is provided by the Company or when the non-refundable ticket expires at the date of the scheduled travel.

The Company also classify as other passenger revenue “V Club” and other similar services, which are recognized as revenue over time when the service is provided, as a modification of the tickets sold to V Club members.

Tickets sold by other airlines where the Company provides the transportation are recognized as passenger revenue when the service is provided.

The Company sells certain tickets with connecting flights with one or more segments operated by its other airline partner. For segments operated by its other airline partners, the Company has determined that it is acting as an agent on behalf of the other airlines as they are responsible for their portion of the contract (i.e. transportation of the passenger). The Company, as the agent, recognizes revenue within Other operating revenue at the time of the travel for the net amount retained by the Company for any segments flown by other airlines.

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

Non-passenger revenues:

The most significant non-passenger revenues include revenues generated from: (i) revenues from other no passenger services described below and (ii) cargo services.

Revenues from other non-passenger services include but are not limited to commissions charged to third parties for the sale of hotel reservations, trip insurance, rental cars and advertising spaces to third parties. They are recognized as revenue at the time the service is provided.

The Company also evaluated the principal versus agent considerations as it relates to certain non-air travel services arrangements with third party providers. No changes were identified under this analysis as the Company is agent for those services provided by third parties.

Other considerations analyzed as part of revenue from contracts with customers

All revenues offered by the Company including sales of tickets for future flights, other passenger related services and non-passenger revenue must be paid through a full cash settlement. The payment of the transaction price is equal to the cash settlement from the client at the sales time (using different payment options like credit or debit cards, paying through a third party or directly at the counter in cash). There is little or no judgment to determine the point in time of the revenue recognition, and the amount of it. Even if mainly all of the sales of services are initially recognized as contract liabilities, there is no financing component in these transactions.

The cost to obtain a contract is represented by the commissions paid to the travel agencies and the bank commissions charged by the financial institutions for processing electronical transactions. The Company does not incur any additional costs to obtain and fulfil a contract that is eligible for capitalization.

Trade receivables are mainly with financial institutions due to transactions with credit and debit cards, and therefore they are non-interest bearing and are mainly on terms of 24 to 48 hours.

The Company has the right of collection at the beginning of the contracts and there are no discounts, payment incentives, bonuses or other variable considerations subsequent to the purchase that could modify the amount of the transaction price.

The Company does not have any obligations for returns, refunds and other similar obligations. All revenues from the Company related to future services, or services are rendered through a period of time less than twelve months.

c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by bank deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the original purchase date. For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments as defined above.

The Company has agreements with financial institutions that process customer credit card transactions for the sale of air travel and other services. These credit card processing agreements doesn’t have significant cash reserve requirements.

d) Financial instruments -initial recognition and subsequent measurement

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument for another entity.

i) Financial assets

Initial recognition

Classification of financial assets and initial recognition

The Company determines the classification and measurement of financial assets, in accordance with the categories in IFRS 9, which are based on both: the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of these assets and the business model objective for holding them.

Financial assets include those carried at FVTPL, whose objective to hold them is for trading purposes (short-term investments), or at amortized cost, for accounts receivables held to collect the contractual cash flows, which are characterized by solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Derivative financial instruments are also considered financial assets when these represent contractual rights to receive cash or another financial asset. All the Company’s financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, including derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their initial classification, as is described below:

1.	Financial assets at FVTPL which include financial assets held for trading.
2.	Financial assets at amortized cost, whose characteristics meet the SPPI criterion and were originated to be held to collect principal and interest in accordance with the Company’s business model.
3.	Derivative financial instruments are designated for hedging purposes under the cash flow hedge (“CFH”) accounting model and are measured at fair value.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

a)	The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset; or

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset.

In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

ii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired in the Cash Generating Units (CGU). An impairment exists if one or more events has occurred since the initial recognition of an asset (an incurred ‘loss event’), that has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in receivable, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

66 of 78

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

For trade receivables, the Company records allowance for credit losses in accordance with the objective evidence of the incurred losses.

Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected losses of these receivables.

iii) Financial liabilities

Initial recognition and measurement

Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at FVTPL, loans and borrowings, accounts payables to suppliers, unearned transportation revenue, other accounts payable and financial instruments.

All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value and, in the case of loans and borrowings and payables, net of directly attributable transaction costs.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Accounts payable, are subsequently measured at amortized cost and do not bear interest or result in gains and losses due to their short-term nature.

Loans and borrowings are the category most relevant to the Company. After initial recognition at fair value (consideration received), interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on issuance and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the consolidated statements of operations. This amortized cost category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at FVTPL include financial liabilities under the fair value option, which are classified as held for trading, if they are acquired for the purpose of selling them in the near future. This category includes derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability.

The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset, and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is:

(i)	A currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts, and
(ii)	An intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

67 of 78

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

e) Other accounts receivable

Other accounts receivables are due primarily from major credit card processors associated with the sales of tickets and are stated at cost less allowances made for credit losses, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature.

f) Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of flight equipment expendable parts, materials and supplies, and are initially recorded at acquisition cost. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and their net realization value. The cost is determined on the basis of the method of specific identification, and expensed when used in operations.

g) Intangible assets

Cost related to the purchase or development of computer software that is separable from an item of related hardware is capitalized separately and amortized over the period in which it will generate benefits not exceeding five years on a straight-line basis. The Company annually reviews the estimated useful lives and salvage values of intangible assets and any changes are accounted for prospectively.

The Company records impairment charges on intangible assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets or related cash generating unit may be impaired and the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of (i) its fair value less cost to sell, and (ii) its value in use.

The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model, using our projections of operating results for the near future. The recoverable amount of long-lived assets is sensitive to the uncertainties inherent in the preparation of projections and the discount rate used in the calculation.

h) Guarantee deposits

Guarantee deposits consist primarily of aircraft maintenance deposits paid to lessors, deposits for rent of flight equipment and other guarantee deposits. Aircraft and engine deposits are held by lessors in U.S. dollars and are presented as current assets and non-current assets, based on the recovery dates of each deposit established in the related agreements.

Aircraft maintenance deposits paid to lessors

Most of the Company’s lease agreements require the Company to pay maintenance deposits to aircraft lessors to be held as collateral in advance of the Company’s performance of major maintenance activities. These lease agreements provide that maintenance deposits are reimbursable to the Company upon completion of the maintenance event in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the maintenance deposits held by the lessor associated with the specific maintenance event, or (ii) the qualifying costs related to the specific maintenance event.

Substantially all of these maintenance deposits are calculated based on a utilization measure of the leased aircrafts and engines, such as flight hours or cycles, and are used solely to collateralize the lessor for maintenance time run off the aircraft and engines until the completion of the maintenance of the aircraft and engines.

Maintenance deposits expected to be recovered from lessors are reflected as guarantee deposits in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position. These deposits are recorded as a monetary asset and are revaluated in order to record the foreign currency changes at each reported period. The Company makes certain assumptions at the inception of the lease and at each consolidated statement of financial position date to determine the recoverability of maintenance deposits. These assumptions are based on various factors such as the estimated time between the maintenance events, the date the aircraft is due to be returned to the lessor, and the number of flight hours the aircraft and engines is estimated to be utilized before it is returned to the lessor.

68 of 78

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

Some other aircraft lease agreements do not require the obligation to pay maintenance deposits to lessors in advance in order to ensure major maintenance activities, so the Company does not record guarantee deposits regarding these aircraft. However, certain of these lease agreements include the obligation to make a maintenance adjustment payment to the lessors at the end of the lease period. These maintenance adjustments cover maintenance events that are not expected to be made before the termination of the lease; for such agreements the Company accrues a liability related to the amount of the costs to be incurred at the lease term, since no maintenance deposits had been made. The portion of prepaid maintenance deposits that is deemed unlikely to be recovered and accruals in lien of maintenance deposits, are recorded as a variable lease payment and is presented as supplemental rent in the consolidated statements of operations.

The maintenance event for which the maintenance deposits were previously expensed was scheduled to occur after the original lease term and as such the supplemental rental payments were expensed. However, when the leases were amended the maintenance deposits amounts became probable of recovery due to the longer lease term and as such they are being recognized as an asset. The effect of these lease extensions was recognized as a lease incentive reducing the right of use asset.

i) Aircraft and engine maintenance

The Company is required to conduct diverse levels of aircraft maintenance. Maintenance requirements depend on the type of aircraft, age and the route network over which it operates.

Fleet maintenance requirements may involve short cycle engineering checks, for example, component checks, monthly checks, annual airframe checks and periodic major maintenance and engine checks.

Aircraft maintenance and repair consists of routine and non-routine works, divided into three general categories: (i) routine maintenance, (ii) major maintenance and (iii) component service.

(i) Routine maintenance requirements consist of scheduled maintenance checks on the Company’s aircraft, including pre-flight, daily, weekly and overnight checks, any diagnostics and routine repairs and any unscheduled tasks performed as required. This type of maintenance events is currently serviced by the Company mechanics and are primarily completed at the main airports that the Company currently serves.

All other maintenance activities are sub-contracted to qualified maintenance business partner, repair and overhaul organizations. Routine maintenance also includes scheduled tasks that can take from seven to 14 days to accomplish and typically are required approximately every 22 months. All routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

(ii) Major maintenance consists of a series of more complex tasks that can take up to six weeks to accomplish and typically are required approximately every five to six years.

Major maintenance is accounted for under the deferral method, whereby the cost of major maintenance and major overhaul and repair is capitalized (leasehold improvements to flight equipment) and amortized over the shorter of the period to the next major maintenance event or the remaining contractual lease term. The next major maintenance event is estimated based on assumptions including estimated usage. The United States Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and the Mexican Federal Civil Aviation Agency (Agencia Federal de Aviación Civil) mandate maintenance intervals and average removal times as suggested by the manufacturer.

These assumptions may change based on changes in the utilization of aircraft, changes in government regulations and suggested manufacturer maintenance intervals. In addition, these assumptions can be affected by unplanned incidents that could damage an airframe, engine, or major component to a level that would require a heavy maintenance event prior to a scheduled maintenance event. To the extent the planned usage increases, the estimated life would decrease before the next maintenance event, resulting in additional expense over a shorter period.

(iii) The Company has an engine flight hour agreement (component repair agreement), that guarantees a cost per overhaul, provides miscellaneous engines coverage, caps the cost of foreign objects damage events, ensures there is protection from annual escalations, and grants an annual credit for scrapped components. The cost associated with the miscellaneous engine coverage is recorded monthly as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has an engine flight hour agreement (component repair agreement), that guarantees a cost per overhaul, provides miscellaneous engines coverage, caps the cost of foreign objects damage events, ensures there is protection from annual escalations, and grants an annual credit for scrapped components. The cost associated with the miscellaneous engines’ coverage is recorded monthly as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations.

j) Rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment, net

Rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment, are recorded at cost and are depreciated to estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Aircraft spare engines have significant components with different useful lives; therefore, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of spare engine parts.

Pre-delivery payments refer to prepayments made to aircraft and engine manufacturers during the manufacturing stage of the aircraft. The borrowing costs related to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.

Depreciation rates are as follows:

		Annual depreciation rate
Flight equipment		4.0-16.7%
Constructions and improvements		Remaining contractual lease term
Computer equipment		25%
Workshop tools		33.3%
Electric power equipment		10%
Communications equipment		10%
Workshop machinery and equipment		10%
Motorized transport equipment platform		25%
Service carts on board		20%
Office furniture and equipment		10%
Leasehold improvements to flight equipment		The shorter of: (i) remaining contractual lease term, or (ii) the next major maintenance event

The Company reviews annually the useful lives and salvage values of these assets and any changes are accounted for prospectively.

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is an objective evidence that rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment and right of use asset are impaired in the Cash Generating Unit (CGU). The Company identified only one CGU, which is the fleet. The Company records impairment charges on rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment and right of use assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired or when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or related cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of (i) its fair value less cost to sell and (ii) its value in use.

The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model, using projections of operating results for the near future. The recoverable amount of long-lived assets is sensitive to the uncertainties inherent in the preparation of projections and the discount rate used in the calculation.

During 2019, the Company performed its annual impairment test. The recoverable amount of rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment assets was determined based on a value in use calculation using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by senior management, covering a five-year period. The projected cash flows have been updated to reflect the future operating cashflows. It was concluded that the fair value less costs of disposal did not exceed the value in use. Consequently, for the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, there were no impairment charges recorded in respect of the Company’s value of rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no impairment charges recorded in respect of the Company’s value of Rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment.

k) Foreign currency transactions and exchange differences

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Mexican peso, which is the reporting and functional currency of the parent company. For each subsidiary, the Company determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries prepared under IFRS and denominated in their respective local currencies, are translated into the functional currency as follows:

	•	Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

	•	All monetary assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the consolidated statement of financial position date.

	•	All non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

	•	Equity accounts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time the capital contributions were made and the profits were generated.

	•	Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the applicable period.

Any differences resulting from the currency translation are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation into the presentation currency are recognized in OCI.

l) Liabilities and provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

m) Employee benefits

i) Personnel vacations

The Company and its subsidiaries in Mexico and Central America recognize a reserve for the costs of paid absences, such as vacation time, based on the accrual method.

ii) Termination benefits

The Company recognizes a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates:

a) When it can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and

71 of 78

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

b) When it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and involves the payment of termination benefits.

The Company is demonstrably committed to a termination when, and only when, it has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, no termination benefits provision has been recognized.

iii) Seniority premiums

In accordance with Mexican Labor Law, the Company provides seniority premium benefits to the employees which rendered services to its Mexican subsidiaries under certain circumstances. These benefits consist of a one-time payment equivalent to 12 days’ wages for each year of service (at the employee’s most recent salary, but not to exceed twice the legal minimum wage), payable to all employees with 15 or more years of service, as well as to certain employees terminated involuntarily prior to the vesting of their seniority premium benefit.

Obligations relating to seniority premiums other than those arising from restructurings, are recognized based upon actuarial calculations and are determined using the projected unit credit method.

The latest actuarial computation was prepared as of December 31, 2020. Remeasurement gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in OCI. Such remeasurement gains and losses are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation using a discount rate based on government bonds, less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled.

For entities in Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador there is no obligation to pay seniority premium, these countries have Post- Employee Benefits.

iv) Incentives

The Company has a quarterly incentive plan for certain personnel whereby cash bonuses are awarded for meeting certain performance targets. These incentives are payable shortly after the end of each quarter and are accounted for as a short-term benefit under IAS 19, Employee Benefits. A provision is recognized based on the estimated amount of the incentive payment. The Company has a short-term benefit plan for certain key personnel whereby cash bonuses are awarded when certain Company’s performance targets are met. These incentives are payable shortly after the end of each year and also are accounted for as a short-term benefit under IAS 19. A provision is recognized based on the estimated amount of the incentive payment.

v) Long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”) and long term retention plan (LTRP)

The Company has adopted a Long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). This plan consists of a share purchase plan (equity-settled) and a share appreciation rights “SARs” plan (cash settled), and therefore accounted under IFRS 2 “Shared based payments”. This incentive plan has been granting annual extensions in the same terms from the original granted in 2014.

During 2019 and 2018, the Company approved a new long-term retention plan (“LTRP”), which consisted in a purchase plan (equity-settled). This plan does not include cash compensations granted through appreciation rights on the Company's shares. The retention plans granted in previous periods will continue in full force and effect until their respective due dates and the cash compensation derived from them will be settled according to the conditions established in each plan.

vi) Share-based payments

a) LTIP

- Share purchase plan (equity-settled)

Certain key employees of the Company receive additional benefits through a share purchase plan denominated in Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment. The cost of the equity-settled share purchase plan is measured at the grant date, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted. The equity-settled compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the requisite service period.

- SARs plan (cash settled)

The Company granted SARs to key employees, which entitle them to a cash payment after a service period. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in the share price of the Company between the grant date and the time of exercise. The liability for the SARs is measured, initially and at the end of each reporting period until settled, at the fair value of the SARs, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the SARs were granted. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the requisite service period.

b) Management incentive plan (“MIP”)

- MIP I

Certain key employees of the Company receive additional benefits through a share purchase plan, which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment. The equity-settled compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the requisite service period.

- MIP II

On February 19, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an extension to the MIP for certain key employees, this plan was named MIP II. In accordance with this plan, the Company granted SARs to key employees, which entitle them to a cash payment after a service period. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in the share price of the Company between the grant date and the time of exercise. The liability for the SARs is measured initially and at the end of each reporting period until settled at the fair value of the SARs, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the SARs were granted. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the requisite service period.

c) Board of Directors Incentive Plan (BoDIP)

Certain members of the Board of Directors of the Company receive additional benefits through a sharebased plan, which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment and therefore accounted under IFRS 2 “Shared based payments”.

In April 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized a Board of Directors Incentive Plan “BoDIP”, for the benefit of certain board members. The BoDIP grants options to acquire shares of the Company or CPOs during a four years period with an exercise price share at Ps.16.12, which was determined on the grant date. Under this plan, no service or performance conditions are required to the board members for exercise the option to acquire shares, and therefore, they have the right to request the delivery of those shares at the time they pay for them.

vii) Employee profit sharing

The Mexican Income Tax Law (“MITL”), establishes that the base for computing current year employee profit sharing shall be the taxpayer’s taxable income of the year for income tax purposes, including certain adjustments established in the Income Tax Law, at the rate of 10%. The employee profit sharing is presented as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Subsidiaries in Central America do not have such profit-sharing benefit, as it is not required by local regulation.

n) Leases

The Company assesses at contract inception whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

The Company applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.

i) Right-of-use assets

The Company recognize right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognized, initial direct costs incurred, an estimate of costs to be incurred by the Company in dismantling and removing the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.

Components of the right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the remining lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:

Aircraft and engines	up to 18 years
Spare engines	up to 14 years
Buildings leases	one to ten years
Maintenance component	up to eight years

ii) Lease Liabilities

At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, and amounts expected to be paid under residual value guarantees.

Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.

In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amount of lease liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments or a change in the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

The short-term leases and leases of low value assets are recognized as expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

iii) Sale and leaseback

The Company enters into sale and leaseback agreements whereby an aircraft or engine is sold to a lessor upon delivery and the lessor agrees to lease such aircraft or engine back to the Company.

The Company measures the right-of-use asset arising from the leaseback at the proportion of the previous carrying amount of the asset that relates to the right of use retained by the seller-lessee. Accordingly, the Company recognizes in the Statement of Operations only the amount of any gain or loss that relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor. The rest of the gain is amortized over the lease term.

iv) Return obligations

The aircraft lease agreements of the Company also require that the aircraft and engines be returned to lessors under specific conditions of maintenance. The costs of return, which in most cases are related to scheduled major maintenance, are estimated, and recognized ratably as a provision from the time it becomes likely such costs will be incurred and can be estimated reliably. These return costs are recognized on a straight-line basis as a component of variable rent expenses and the provision is included as part of other liabilities, through the remaining lease term. The Company estimates the provision related to airframe, engine overhaul and limited life parts using certain assumptions including the projected usage of the aircraft and the expected costs of maintenance tasks to be performed.

o) Other taxes and fees payable

The Company is required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and airports and to remit these to the applicable governmental entity or airport on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees include federal transportation taxes, federal security charges, airport passenger facility charges, and foreign arrival and departure fees. These charges are collected from customers at the time they purchase their tickets, but are not included in passenger revenue. The Company records a liability upon collection from the customer and discharges the liability when payments are remitted to the applicable governmental entity or airport.

p) Income taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date. Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the income statement. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except, in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry-forward of unused tax credits and any available tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and available tax losses can be utilized, except, in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

The Company considers the following criteria in assessing the probability that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized: (a) whether the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, which will result in taxable amounts against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized before they expire; (b) whether it is probable that the Company will have taxable profits before the unused tax losses or unused tax credits expire; (c) whether the unused tax losses result from identifiable causes which are unlikely to recur; and (d) whether tax planning opportunities are available to the Company that will create taxable profit in the period in which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized.

Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2020

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction in OCI.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

The charge for income taxes incurred is computed based on tax laws approved in Mexico, Costa Rica, Guatemala and El Salvador at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

q) Derivative and non-derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Company mitigates certain financial risks, such as volatility in the price of jet fuel, adverse changes in interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments.

In accordance with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. At inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting; as well as, the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the hedging strategy and objective, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risks being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk(s).

Only if such hedges are expected to be effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedge item(s) and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated, hedge accounting treatment can be used.

Under the CFH accounting model, the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s changes in fair value is recognized in OCI, while the ineffective portion is recognized in current year earnings. The amounts recognized in OCI are transferred to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The realized gain or loss of derivative financial instruments that qualify as CFH is recorded in the same caption of the hedged item in the consolidated statement of operations.

Accounting for the time value of options

The Company accounts for the time value of options in accordance with IFRS 9, which requires all derivative financial instruments to be initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent measurement for options purchased and designated as CFH requires that the option’s changes in fair value be segregated into its intrinsic value (which will be considered the hedging instrument’s effective portion in OCI) and its correspondent changes in extrinsic value (time value and volatility). The extrinsic value changes will be considered as a cost of hedging (recognized in OCI in a separate component of equity) and accounted for in income when the hedged items also are recognized in income.

r) Financial instruments – Disclosures

IFRS 7 requires a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement disclosures and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about the relative reliability of fair value measurements.

s) Treasury shares

The Company’s equity instruments that are reacquired (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 treasury shares. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received, if reissued, is recognized in additional paid in capital. Share-based payment options exercised during the reporting period are settled with treasury shares.

t) Operating segments

Management of Controladora monitors the Company as a single business unit that provides air transportation and related services, accordingly it has only one operating segment.

The Company has two geographic areas identified as domestic (Mexico) and international (United States of America and Central America).

v) Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is: (i) expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, (ii) expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or, (iii) cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current. A liability is current when: (i) it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle, (ii) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or, (iii) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.

Volaris, the Lowest Cost Public Airline in the Americas

reports fourth quarter 2020 results:

Operating Margin at 12%; CASM ex-fuel at $4.13 U.S. dollar cents; Strong Balance Sheet and sound Business Model

Mexico City, Mexico, February 18, 2021 – Volaris* (NYSE: VLRS and BMV: VOLAR), the ultra-low-cost airline serving Mexico, the United States of America and Central America, today announces its financial results for the fourth quarter 2020.

The following financial information, unless otherwise indicated, is presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Fourth Quarter 2020 Highlights

During the fourth quarter of 2020, Volaris continued reinforcing its strategy to navigate the uncertainties of the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic, focusing on its financial strength, cost reduction, liquidity preservation, capacity recovery and taking advantage of market opportunities.

For the fourth quarter, the Company posted an operating margin of 11.9%. Volaris continued to implement cost reduction initiatives and achieved a reduction in operating expenses per available seat mile in U.S. dollars of 8.7% as compared to 2019.

On December 11, 2020, the Company concluded an upsized, primary follow-on equity offering of 134,000,000 of its Ordinary Participation Certificates (Certificados de Participación Ordinarios), or CPOs, in the form of American Depositary Shares, or ADSs, at a price to the public of U.S.$11.25 per ADS in the United States of America and other countries outside Mexico, pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In connection with the offering, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase up to 20,100,000 additional CPOs in the form of ADSs. The Company received net proceeds of approximately U.S.$164 million dollars, which it will use for general corporate purposes. Volaris ended the fourth quarter of 2020 with Ps.$10,103 million in cash and cash equivalents and total equity of Ps.2,796 million.

During the fourth quarter, the Company was able to ramp up service (ASMs) to 94.9% when compared to the same period of the prior year. The domestic market led the capacity recovery, where Volaris operated 99.1% ASMs versus the same period in 2019. In the international market, Volaris operated 85.5% ASMs compared to the same period in 2019. During the fourth quarter 2020, Volaris began operations on two new domestic and seven new international routes.

During 2020, Volaris carried more than 14.7 million passengers after successfully implementing its biosecurity protocol in April 2020.

The main results for the fourth quarter are described as follows:

Total operating revenues were Ps.8,086 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 16.9% year over year.

Total ancillary revenues were Ps.3,877 million for the fourth quarter, an increase of 21.4% year over year. Total ancillary revenues per passenger for the fourth quarter reached Ps.798, an increase of 43.3% year over year. Total ancillary revenues represented 48.0% of total operating revenues for the fourth quarter 2020, increasing 15.2 percentage points with respect to the same period of last year.

Total operating revenues per available seat mile (TRASM) were Ps.138.1 cents for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 10.9% year over year.

Operating expenses per available seat mile (CASM) were Ps.120.6 cents for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 2.3% year over year, with an average economic fuel cost per gallon of Ps.37.2 for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 18.8% year over year.

Operating expenses per available seat mile excluding fuel, (CASM ex-fuel) were Ps.85.3 cents for the fourth quarter, an increase of 12.2% year over year, with an average exchange rate depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar of 7.0% year over year.

Operating income was Ps.960 million for the fourth quarter, a decrease of 51.2% compared with the same period of last year. Operating margin for the fourth quarter was 11.9%, a decrease of 8.3 percentage points year over year.

Net income was Ps.897 million (Ps.0.85 earnings per share / U.S.$0.43 earnings per ADS), a net margin of 11.1% for the fourth quarter.

At the close of the fourth quarter, the Mexican peso appreciated 11.2% against the U.S. dollar (Ps.19.95 per U.S. dollar) with respect to the exchange rate at the close of the previous quarter (Ps.22.46 per U.S. dollar). The Company booked a net foreign exchange gain of Ps.1,048 million derived from its U.S. dollar net monetary liability position.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the net cash flow generated by operating activities was Ps.1,551 million. The net cash flow generated by investing activities was Ps.77 million. The net cash flow generated by financing activities was Ps.883 million, which included Ps.2,242 million of aircraft rental payments. The negative net foreign exchange difference was Ps.609 million. As a result, there was a net increase in cash and cash equivalents in the fourth quarter of Ps.1,902 million. As of December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were Ps.10,103 million.

Despite the progress made in the fourth quarter 2020, there remain significant challenges in the current period with COVID-19 case counts increasing in both Mexico and the USA. Historically, the first quarter of any year tends to be a challenging quarter for airlines and in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is even more so. For the first quarter 2021, the Company expects weakness in demand and booking curves to compress. Volaris operates approximately 30% of its network from Mexico to the USA and expects a short-term reduction in demand for cross border flights as a result of recent USA regulations requiring international passengers arriving in the USA to have completed a negative COVID-19 test not more than 72 hours prior to departure. As a result, the Company’s network plans for the first quarter of 2021 will be more conservative, focused on deploying appropriate levels of capacity to align with the changing demand environment. At present, Volaris intends to operate approximately 80% of capacity as compared to the same period of last year, as measured by ASMs. This still represents a strong capacity comeback from the COVID-19 pandemic as compared to the global industry, which is currently operating at 56% of capacity compared to the previous year. Nonetheless, as the first quarter is still in progress, Volaris cannot offer any assurance as to how actual results will compare to the expected results mentioned herein.

Fuel Price reduction and Peso Depreciation

Fuel price reduction: The average economic fuel cost per gallon decreased 18.8% in the fourth quarter of 2020, year over year, to Ps.37.2 per gallon (U.S.$1.9).

Peso depreciation: The Mexican peso depreciated 7.0% against the U.S. dollar year over year, from an average exchange rate of Ps.19.28 per U.S. dollar in the fourth quarter of 2019 to Ps.20.63 per U.S. dollar during the fourth quarter of 2020. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, the Mexican peso (Ps.19.95 per U.S. dollar) depreciated 5.9% with respect to the exchange rate at the end of the same period of the last year (Ps.18.85 per U.S. dollar).

Passenger Traffic Contraction, Ancillary Revenue Growth and Increased Route Network

Passenger traffic contraction: Volaris had 4.9 million booked passengers in the fourth quarter of 2020, a decrease of 15.3% year over year. Volaris traffic (measured in revenue passenger miles, or RPMs) decreased 13.1% year over year. System load factor during the fourth quarter decreased 7.4 percentage points year over year to 80.2%.

Total ancillary revenue growth: For the fourth quarter of 2020, total ancillary revenue and total ancillary revenue per passenger increased 21.4% and 43.3% year over year, respectively. The total ancillary revenue generation continues to grow with new and mature products, focusing on customers’ needs, and represents 48.0% of total operating revenue of the fourth quarter, an increase of 15.2 percentage points year over year.

TRASM decrease: For the fourth quarter of 2020, TRASM decreased 10.9% year over year. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the total capacity, measured by ASMs, decreased 5.1% year over year.

New routes: During the fourth quarter of 2020, Volaris began operations in two new domestic routes and seven new international routes.

In the international market: 1) Mexico City to Dallas, Texas; 2) Mexico City to Houston, Texas; 3) Mexico City to Fresno, California; 4) Mexico City to Ontario, California; 5) Mexico City to San Jose, California; 6) Mexico City to Sacramento, California; and 7) Morelia, Michoacán to Chicago O´Hare, Illinois.

Total Unit Cost Increase and Peso Depreciation

CASM and CASM ex fuel in the fourth quarter of 2020 was Ps.120.6 (U.S.$6.04 cents) and Ps.85.3 cents (U.S.$4.27), respectively. This represented a decrease of 2.3% for CASM and an increase of 12.2% for CASM ex fuel, year over year, mainly driven by the capacity reduction measured in available seat miles (ASMs), and the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar by 7.0%.

Young and Fuel-Efficient Fleet

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company returned one A319 aircraft and incorporated three new A320 NEO aircraft into its fleet. As of December 31, 2020, Volaris’ fleet comprised 86 aircraft (6 A319s, 64 A320s and 16 A321s), with an average age of 5.3 years. At the end of the fourth quarter of 2020, Volaris’ fleet had an average of 188 seats per aircraft, 79% of our aircraft were sharklet-equipped, and 35% were NEOs.

Solid Balance Sheet and Liquidity with Net Cash Flow Generated by Operating Activities

As of December 31, 2020, cash and cash equivalents were Ps.10,103 million, representing 45.6% of last twelve months operating revenue. Volaris registered a negative net debt (or a positive net cash position) of Ps.4,749 million (excluding the lease liability recognized under IFRS16) and total equity of Ps.2,796 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2020, the net cash flow generated by operating activities was Ps.1,551 million. The net cash flow generated by investing activities was Ps.77 million. The net cash flow generated by financing activities was Ps.883 million, which included Ps.2,242 million of aircraft rental payments. The negative net foreign exchange difference was Ps.609 million. As a result, there was a net increase of cash and cash equivalents in the fourth quarter of Ps.1,902 million.

Non-Derivative Financial Instruments

For the hedging relationships described, the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s change in fair value is recognized in Other Comprehensive Income or OCI. The accounting records corresponding to the recycling of the OCI are made in accordance with IFRS 9. Under this standard, the portion recorded in OCI is recognized in the results in the same period in which the expected hedging for cash flows affects the result of the period. As of December 31, 2020, OCI includes a negative foreign exchange impact of Ps.1,577 million. As of December 31, 2019, OCI includes a positive foreign exchange effect of Ps.14 million.

Investors are urged to carefully read the Company's periodic reports filed with or provided to the Securities and Exchange Commission, for additional information regarding the Company.
