LATAM ENDS THIRD QUARTER WITH MORE THAN US$3.3 BILLION TO FACE CRISIS
Santiago, Chile, November 6, 2020 – LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (IPSA: LTM), announced today its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2020. “LATAM” or “the Company” makes reference to the consolidated entity, which includes passenger and cargo airlines in Latin America. All figures were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Brazilian real / U.S. dollar average exchange rate for the quarter was BRL 5.46 per USD.
HIGHLIGHTS
● | Total revenues in the third quarter of 2020 amounted to US$512.9 million, a decrease of 80.8% from the same period 2019. This decrease was driven by a 94.8% decline in passenger revenues resulting from an 85.8% decrease in capacity (measured in available seat kilometer (ASK)). The passenger revenues decline was partially offset by a 12.8% increase in cargo revenues, as freighter operations increased by 20% responding to robust demand for cargo services during the pandemic, and an increase in other revenues of 47.6%, mainly due to the recognition of the proceeds received from Delta as part of the Framework Agreement signed in 2019. |
● | Total operating expenses decreased 55.0% during the third quarter to US$1,077.6 million, reflecting fewer passenger operations due to the pandemic and the efforts LATAM has made to reduce and variabilize its fixed costs. This includes voluntary salary reductions of between 20% and 25% opted into by the vast majority of employees of all the affiliate airlines during the third quarter, as well as early retirements, unpaid leaves and layoffs, along with a usage based plan for the fleet costs. |
● | During the third quarter, the group saw a gradual increase in its operations. After operating 6.6% of the previous year’s capacity during the second quarter, measured in ASKs, it increased to 9.2% in July, to 13.9% in August and 20.0% in September, totaling 14.2% of previous year’s ASKs during the third quarter 2020. Despite this increase in operations, the operational costs decreased 55.0% year on year during the third quarter, as compared with a 45.6% year on year decrease from the previous quarter, evidencing the cost saving measures the company has implemented. In addition, LATAM Airlines Colombia reinitiated domestic operations, while the affiliates in Chile, Peru, Ecuador and Brazil continued to operate their domestic markets. |
● | As a result, operating loss amounted to US$564.7 million in the third quarter of 2020, while net result amounted to a US$573.1 million loss. |
● | DIP Financing of US$2.45 billion was approved on September 19th, and a first draw was made on October 8th for US$1.15 billion, which consisted of half of the available funds on that date. On November 6th, the Toesca Deuda Privada DIP LATAM Fund, which includes certain minority shareholders, committed the remaining US$150 million, which was raised in an auction held by LarrainVial on November 2nd. |
● | Cargo revenues increased by 12.8% in the quarter, reaching US$284 million, despite the strong cargo capacity decline. Cargo capacity and traffic decreased 39,8% and 18,3% respectively, resulting in a 19,2 p.p. increase of the cargo load factor. Cargo yield grew 38,1% year-over-year. As a result, revenues per ATK increased by 87,5% in comparison to the same quarter of the previous year. Freighter ATKs increased by 20% due to a utilization improvement, as was the case in the second quarter of 2020. Over a thousand passenger freighter flights were operated, playing an important role during the Covid-19 pandemic as a tool to keep products and economies moving; LATAM transported over 46,000 cargo tons on passenger aircraft flown as freighters during this quarter. |

● | During September, LATAM and Delta Air Lines received initial regulatory approval for their trans-American Joint Venture Agreement (‘JVA’) from the Superintendencia Geral of Brazil’s anti-trust authority, the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE). The JVA is currently under second level review by CADE’s Administrative Tribunal. |
● | As part of the LATAM’s digital transformation, during the quarter we launched LATAM XP in Chile, which leads this process alongside Ecuador. The new digital platform seeks to improve the customer experience from end to end and to reduce ticket purchase time by 30%, among other initiatives. LATAM XP will be gradually rolled out in the remaining countries, with a full implementation to be completed by 2022. |
● | Since the start of the pandemic, LATAM Airlines Group and its affiliates have increased sanitary measures and adopted industry best practices recommended by the World Health Organization, which include increased cleaning of check-in counters and self-service kiosks, mandatory use of masks on board and in all LATAM operated areas, hand sanitizer available on all aircraft, disinfection of cabins, and use of HEPA air filtration and recirculation systems. Additionally, the Group implemented Self Bag Drop at the Jorge Chavez Airport in Lima, Peru, to limit direct contact with personnel and reduce check-in times by 90%. In several cities in Brazil, LATAM Airlines Brazil launched remote check-in at airport counters, which allows check-in personnel to assist with the process remotely. |
● | On November 3rd, LATAM Airlines Brazil and LATAM Airlines Colombia announced a codeshare agreement with Aeromexico, increasing the offering and connectivity of both networks. LATAM also signed a frequent flyer agreement that will allow both LATAM Pass members and Club Premiere members to accrue and redeem miles in their respective frequent flyer programs. |
● | In the 2020 edition of World Travel Awards (WTA), announced on November 5th, LATAM Airlines Group was recognized by passengers as “South America’s Leading Airline” and the “South American Leading Airline Brand”. This comes in line with the consistent increase of the passenger satisfaction indicator (Net Promoter Score) from January to September. Both awards highlight LATAM’s excellency in tourism and the winners are chosen by passenger’s vote. |
MANAGEMENT COMMENTS ON THE THIRD QUARTER 2020
LATAM filed a modified proposed DIP financing agreement on September 17th, which was approved on September 19th. This DIP financing will enable the group to access the US$2.45 billion required to address the impact of COVID-19.
The terms of the approved financing are:
A Tranche A facility of US$1.3 billion, led by Oaktree Capital Management LP providing US$1.125 billion, while Knighthead, Jefferies and/or other entities that are part of a creditors’ syndicate organized by Jefferies, finance US$175 million.
A Tranche C facility of up to US$1.15 billion, including: US$750 million provided by Qatar Airways, the Cueto Group and the Eblen Group; and US$250 million from Knighthead, Jefferies and/or other entities that are part of a creditors’ syndicate organized by Jefferies. In addition, $150 million of financing will be provided by certain minority shareholders through an investment fund, Toesca Deuda Privada DIP LATAM Fund, managed by Toesca S.A. Administradora General de Fondos.
On October 8th, the company made the first draw of US$1.15 billion under the DIP financing, representing 50% of the total funds available at that date. The draw consisted of US$650 million from Tranche A and US$500 million from Tranche C.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THIRD QUARTER 2020 RESULTS
Total revenues in the third quarter 2020 amounted to US$512.9 million, compared to US$2,665.1 million in third quarter 2019. The 80.8% decline resulted from a 94.8% decrease in passenger revenues, partially offset by a 12.8% increase in cargo revenues and a 47.6% increase in other revenues. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 23.6% and 55.4% of the quarter’s total operating revenues, respectively.
Passenger revenues decreased 94.8% during the quarter as a result of an 88.7% decrease in traffic (measured in RPK), which resulted from a reduction of 86.4% of the total number of passengers carried. Load factor reached 66.3%, representing a decline of 17.3 p.p. compared with the same quarter last year and a 54.2% yield decrease during the quarter. As a result, revenues per ASK (RASK) declined 63.7%. The decline in passenger revenues is the result of the quarantines, travel restrictions and passengers’ reluctance to travel. Additionally, the variation is partly explained by a reversal of expired ticket revenue following the flexibilization of our commercial policies during the pandemic, and to a lesser degree, foreign exchange differences.
Cargo revenues increased by 12.8% in the quarter, reaching US$284.0 million, mainly driven by changes in the competitive environment due to the COVID-19 crisis and the contribution of our 11 freighters, which have increased their flight frequency and destinations, in addition to cargo flights made by passenger aircraft. During the quarter, LATAM’s cargo affiliates operated more than 1,000 passenger flights and transported over 46,000 cargo tons on adapted passenger planes.
Other revenues totaled US$107.9 million in the third quarter of 2020, an increase of US$34.8 million compared to the same period of last year. This year-over-year increase is mainly due to the recognition of the Transition Support Payments received from Delta as part of the Framework Agreement signed in 2019.
Total operating expenses in the third quarter amounted to US$1,077.6 million, a 55.0% reduction compared to the same period of 2019, mainly due to the 85.8% reduction in total passenger capacity and the results of the efforts made to convert a portion of our fixed costs into variable ones. Changes in operating expenses were mainly explained by:
● | Wages and benefits decreased 56.1%, explained by the voluntary salary reduction of between 20% and 25% voluntarily adhered to by a vast majority of the employees, which resulted in savings of US$25 million, along with a general depreciation of the local currencies in the region, and with a 26.0% decline in the average headcount during the quarter as compared with the previous year. |
● | Fuel costs declined 84.7%, as a result of an 85.8% reduction in total passenger capacity and a subsequent decline of 75.8% of total gallons consumed, along with a decline of 35.6% of the fuel price (excluding hedge) during the quarter as compared with the same period last year. This was partially offset by a 20% year over year increase in freighter capacity. |
● | Commissions to agents decreased 83.0% compared with the third quarter last year, in line with the decrease of passenger traffic. |
● | Depreciation and amortization decreased by 20.2% due to a decrease in maintenance depreciation derived from a lower level of operations. |
● | Other rental and landing fees decreased by 58.7%, mainly due to a decrease in aeronautical rates and ground handling operations derived from the reduction of the operation during this period. |
● | Passenger service expenses decreased by 80.0% explained by an 86.4% decrease in the number of passengers carried, partially offset by a smaller decline in the cost of contingencies. |
3
● | Maintenance expenses decreased by 34.7% year-over-year, explained mainly by the lower level of operations during the quarter. |
● | Other operating expenses decreased by US$66.3 million year-over-year, mainly as a result of a decline in other selling expenses and reservation systems stemming from a reduction in operations. |
Non-operating results
● | Interest income amounted to US$29.1 million, an increase of US$25.0 million from last year mainly explained by an increase in interest accruing assets as part of the cash management of the company. |
● | Interest expense decreased 21.5% to US$114.5 million in the third quarter 2020, from US$145.8 million in the same period of 2019, due to a lower interest rate and a year-over-year reduction of US$750.1 million in financial debt. |
● | Under Other income (expense), the Company registered a US$64.8 million net loss, a 10.4% decrease from the same quarter of the previous year, mainly explained by a foreign exchange loss of US$6.8 million during the quarter, compared with a US$74.8 million loss the previous year, and partially offset by US$59 million in expenses associated with the reorganization process. |
Net loss in the third quarter amounted to US$573.1 million, compared with US$86.3 million gain in the same period of 2019, mainly explained by the decline in the operating income derived from the COVID-19 pandemic.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING
By the end of the quarter, LATAM’s financial debt amounted to US$6.8 billion, a US$803.6 million decrease compared to the previous quarter.
At the end of the third quarter 2020, LATAM reported US$886 million in cash and cash equivalents, including certain highly liquid investments accounted for as other current financial assets. On September 19th the company received approval for its DIP financing, giving access to up to US$2.45 billion in financing, and made the first draw on October 8th for US$ 1.15 billion, which represented half of the available funds on that date.
The company did not enter into any hedges during the third quarter 2020.
CHAPTER 11 MILESTONES
On May 26, 2020 and in light of the effects of COVID-19 on the worldwide aviation industry, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its affiliates in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States (the Debtors) filed for voluntary protection under the U.S. Chapter 11 financial reorganization statute. This reorganization process provides LATAM with an opportunity to work with the group’s creditors and other stakeholders to reduce its debt, access new sources of financing and continue operating, while enabling the group to adapt its business to the new reality.
Numerous hearings have been held before the Honorable Judge Garrity at the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the US Court), wherein the debtors have requested authority to, among other things, continue to make ordinary course payments, continue to pay employee payroll and to reject prepetition contracts (including aircraft leasing contracts), which have all been approved by the US Court subject to certain limitations.
On July 9, 2020, LATAM Airlines Brazil, adhered to the same voluntary reorganization Chapter 11 process of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its affiliates in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States, and thereby became a Debtor, in order to restructure its debt and effectively manage its aircraft fleet, while enabling operational continuity.
4
The general deadline or bar date for creditors to file a proof of claim was set by the US Court for December 18, 2020. The new period of exclusivity set by the US Court for LATAM to file its Reorganization Plan is now January 29, 2021. The date for filing the Reorganization Plan may be further extended subject to the US Court’s approval.
The Debtors have and will continue to periodically file with the US Court certain schedules and statements of financial affairs setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of the Debtors (the “Statements and Schedules”). The Statements and Schedules are prepared according to the requirements of applicable bankruptcy law and are subject to further amendment or modification by the Debtors.
Although these materials provide the information required under the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Court, they are nonetheless unaudited and prepared in a format different from the consolidated financial reports historically prepared by LATAM in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). Certain information contained in the Statements and Schedules may be prepared on an unconsolidated basis. Accordingly, the substance and format of the Statements and Schedules may not allow meaningful comparison with LATAM’s regularly publicly disclosed consolidated financial statements. Moreover, the Statements and Schedules required and filed with the US Court are not prepared for the purpose of providing a basis for an investment decision relating to the Debtors’ securities, or claims against the Debtors, or for comparison with other financial information required to be reported under applicable securities law.
LATAM FLEET PLAN
Given the filing for voluntary reorganization and restructuring of their debt under Chapter 11 protection in the United States, LATAM is currently evaluating the adequate fleet needs for the following years.
CONFERENCE CALL
Given the filing for voluntary reorganization and restructuring of their debt under Chapter 11 protection in the United States, the Company will not be hosting a conference call after the results publication.
LATAM filed its quarterly financial statements for the three-month period ended September 30, 2020 with the Comisión para el Mercado Financiero of Chile on November 6, 2020. These financial statements will be available in Spanish and English languages at http://www.latamairlinesgroup.net.
