(SSE: LTM) announced today its consolidated financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2024. “LATAM” or “the Company” makes reference to the consolidated entity, which includes its passenger and cargo affiliated airlines in Latin America. LATAM prepares its financial statements under IFRS as issued by the IASB, however, for ease of presentation and comparison, the Income Statement in this report is presented in an adapted US Format. On some occasions, adjustments to these Income Statement figures are made for Special Items. A table reconciling the figures adjusted for Special Items to their as-reported IFRS figures can be found at the end of the report. All figures in this report are expressed in U.S. dollars. Percentages and certain U.S. dollar, Chilean peso and Brazilian real amounts contained in this report have been rounded for ease of presentation. Any discrepancies in any table between totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding. The Brazilian real / U.S. dollar average exchange rate for the quarter was BRL 4.95 per USD.
HIGHLIGHTS
During the first quarter of 2024 LATAM reported strong financial results, achieving US$3.3 billion in operating revenues, which led to a double digit adjusted EBIT margin of 13.9% and a net income of US$258 million, both of which are record figures and a reflection of its value proposition, robust market share participation and a healthy demand environment. During this period, LATAM generated US$137 million in cash, resulting in a total liquidity of approximately US$3.0 billion and an adjusted net leverage of 1.9x. These numbers reflect its continued solid capital structure, in addition to the continued focus on cost efficiency, which has allowed the group to maintain its passenger CASK ex fuel at US$4.3 cents. These first quarter results prompted LATAM group to revise its 2024 guidance improving EBITDAR projection to US$2.75 - $3.05 billion.
•During the first quarter of 2024, LATAM group successfully transported more than 20.2 million passengers across its network, an increase of 19.4% versus the same quarter of 2023. This milestone represents the highest number of passengers transported in a single quarter for the group and a reflection of LATAM group's commitment to providing efficient and reliable services to its customers through a unique network. In particular, the number of passengers transported internationally increased by 32.5%, due to a continued recovery in international traffic, while the number of passengers transported in the domestic markets of LATAM group's affiliates in Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru increased by 26.0%, along with a 9.1% increase in LATAM group's affiliate in Brazil.
•During the first quarter of 2024, LATAM group witnessed a 17.5% growth in its consolidated operations, as measured by available seat-kilometers (ASK), when compared to the same quarter of 2023, and surpassed 2019 ASK levels by 1.2%. Throughout the quarter, this growth was led by the international operations, which increased by 25.2%. Additionally, the domestic capacity of the affiliates in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador increased by 21.9% and the domestic capacity of LATAM Airlines Brazil increased by 4.7% compared to the first quarter of 2023.
•Total operating revenues amounted to US$3,321 million during the first quarter (+18.4% vs 1Q2023), which led to an adjusted operating margin of 13.9%. This revenue increase is mainly explained by the growth of passenger revenues in the quarter (+21.0% vs 1Q2023) bolstered by customer preference for LATAM group, resilient corporate customer demand, and ongoing recovery of international air travel demand. On the other hand, cargo revenues decreased by 2.1% during the quarter explained by the softening of cargo yields, however, cargo revenues have grown above pre-pandemic levels by 40.2%.
•In the first quarter of 2024, the net income attributable to the owners of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. amounted to US$258 million. This represents a record figure, mainly attributed to the strong performance during the industry's high season in South America.
•LATAM generated US$137 million in cash during the first quarter, without issuing any non-fleet financial debt. With this, the group ended the quarter with a liquidity position of US$2,951 million.
•LATAM group continues on its deleveraging path. It reported an adjusted net leverage of 1.9x, and is on track to achieving its updated projection of 1.6x - 1.8x. This solid capital structure provides LATAM group with a competitive advantage within the Americas.

The above reflects the recognition of the company's consistently stronger credit metrics and its sustained performance.
•On April 3rd, LATAM's Board of Directors approved the initiation of the process to reopen and relist its ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange. Once certain conditions are met, the Board of Directors will review and consider making the relisting effective or not, a decision that if approved, would be made public via a material fact.
•During the Ordinary Shareholders Meeting held on April 25, 2024, shareholders approved a dividend distribution of approximately US$175 million, equivalent to 30% of 2023 net income. The dividend will be paid on May 16, 2024, to shareholders on record as of midnight on May 10, 2024.
•LATAM group is updating its guidance for the full year 2024 based on the strong performance in the first quarter and a positive demand environment. The company now expects an adjusted EBITDAR of US$2.75 - $3.05 billion, an increase from the previous guidance of US$2.6 - 2.9 billion provided on December 14, 2023. In addition, LATAM group aims to further reduce its adjusted net leverage ratio from 1.8x - 2.0x to a range of 1.6x - 1.8x, in a scenario that excludes any liability management exercises.
MANAGEMENT COMMENTS - FIRST QUARTER OF 2024
The first quarter of the year sustained the trend of a strong operating and financial performance from LATAM group, which has not only set a new record adjusted EBIT margin at 13.9% in the period, but has also updated its 2024 guidance, improving its EBITDAR projection to US$2.75 - $3.05 billion, among other metrics.
While this quarter has been exceptionally strong, it is important to acknowledge that the nature of LATAM group' business is subject to seasonality as the industry moves forward into lower season in the second quarter. Furthermore, when reviewing LATAM's guidance it is important to note that LATAM is actively evaluating various options of liability management for the later part of the year and the execution of this liability management may have an impact on some of the non-operational financial figures in future quarters, and therefore net income. Nevertheless, the first quarter robust results are the reflection of a LATAM that is more competitive in the markets in which the group operates and more efficient in terms of costs and cost containment, amidst a sustained and healthy demand.
During the first quarter of the year, LATAM group continued to offer a broad and expansive network both regionally and globally, with a focus on achieving profitability and securing significant market shares across its affiliates' markets. In this sense, LATAM group continued to rank first in three out of the five domestic markets its affiliates operate in during the first quarter. LATAM Airlines Chile reached 59% market share, LATAM Airlines Peru achieved 67% market share, and LATAM Airlines Brazil reached a 39% market share, with a notable 41% market share in March. On the other hand, on February 19th, it was announced that LATAM group and Delta Air Lines received all the approvals of the pertinent authorities to include both LATAM Airlines Ecuador and the three cargo affiliates, LATAM Cargo Chile, LATAM Cargo Brazil and LATAM Cargo Colombia to the scope of the Joint Venture (JV). As of the first quarter of 2024, LATAM group and Delta Air Lines jointly reached 38% of capacity share between the countries where the JV operates, connecting South and North America.
In terms of operational achievements, LATAM group's passenger capacity increased by 17.5% compared to the first quarter of 2023 and surpassed 2019 ASK levels, recording an all-time high in ASK, RPK, and passengers transported for a quarter.
"LATAM group’s continued work and dedication has translated into solid and consistent financial and operational results in the first quarter, driven by the high season for vacations, with traffic already surpassing pre-pandemic levels. These results have led the group to revise its 2024 guidance upwards, which, in the case of adjusted EBITDAR, would imply an increase of approximately 10% to 22% compared to the previous year", said Ramiro Alfonsín, CFO of LATAM Airlines Group.
Regarding its additional fleet investments and dedication to its product and on-board experience, LATAM group's fleet has been strengthened with the addition of one Boeing 787-9 and two Airbus A321Neo, totaling three additional aircraft in the quarter. The group was also recognized for having "The best on-board entertainment in South America" at the
2
1Q 2024 Results | | ||||
APEX Awards. In this regard, LATAM has become the first airline group in South America to add Disney+ content to its in-flight entertainment service, in order to make each flight an unforgettable experience for LATAM group's passengers and therefore strengthening its value proposition.
Lately, LATAM group has focused on integration of digital tools and artificial intelligence to both support the customer experience as well as operational efficiencies. For example, progress has been made in the personalization of content creation and direct communications to customers, reducing execution time by 90% and increasing its capabilities for direct sales and redemption. Regarding customer care, the group has embarked on a transformation journey to leverage the use of artificial intelligence in customer service for the automatic resolution of certain standard cases, as well as the early detection of critical cases, which has had a significant positive impact on the group's customer satisfaction indicator (Net Promoter Score - NPS).
In terms of sustainability, during the quarter the group was actively expanding its waste segregation practice in terms of reducing its waste-to-landfill impact, introducing new waste containers, while LATAM Airlines Brazil has taken significant steps towards the segregation of Tetra Pak in their domestic flights.
Furthermore, in the first quarter of this year, the Solidarity Plane continued to soar, providing crucial support to address various pressing needs in the region. In Chile and Colombia, the focus was on overcoming fire emergencies, lending a helping hand to those affected by these devastating events. In Peru and Ecuador, LATAM group reaffirmed its commitment to health by launching impactful campaigns and extending its support to new regions of these countries. Lastly, in Brazil, the efforts were centered around conservation, as the group actively contributed to the transfer of endangered species.
MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FIRST QUARTER 2024 RESULTS
LATAM group reported total operating revenues of US$3,321 million in the first quarter, an increase of 18.4% compared to the same period of 2023, explained by a 21.0% increase in passenger revenues. Cargo revenues reached US$369 million during the quarter. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 87.2% and 11.1% of total operating revenues respectively, for the first quarter of 2024.
Passenger revenues amounted to US$2,898 million in the first quarter, increasing 21.0% versus the same period of 2023, explained by an increase in both RASK and operations. Capacity increased by 17.5% especially driven by the sustained recovery of the international segment (+25.2% versus 1Q23). Additionally in the first quarter, LATAM group's RASK reached US$7.5 cents, showing an increase of 3.0% compared to the same period of 2023, explained by a healthy demand environment, along with LATAM group's ability to attract customers with its unique value proposition. During the quarter, the consolidated load factor was 84.4% (a 3.4 p.p. increase from 1Q23), offsetting a slight passenger yields decrease of 1.1% versus 1Q23.
Cargo revenues decreased 2.1% compared to the first quarter of 2023, totaling US$369 million. However, cargo revenues compared to the same period of 2019, are well above, outperforming them by 40.2%. Regarding cargo yields, in the first quarter they amounted to US$36.5 cents per RTK, showing a decrease of 12.7% compared to the same period of 2023. Even though cargo business has experienced a moderation in revenues, yields were still situated 24.2% above 2019 levels.
Other income amounted to US$54 million, increasing 60.1% versus 1Q23. This year-over-year growth is primarily attributed to the reclassification of the income from non-airline redemptions of the LATAM Pass program, an impact of approximately US$8 million, and the increase in sales of ancillaries services related to the LATAM Travel business.
Total adjusted operating expenses were US$2,859 million during the quarter, increasing 13.9% versus 1Q23, mainly explained by the increase in passenger operations, and an even greater increase in international operations. Aircraft fuel costs decreased 3.3% versus the same period of 2023. On the other hand, during the first quarter of 2024, LATAM group reported an adjusted passenger CASK ex-fuel of US$4.3 cents, a 7.5% increase compared to the same quarter of 2023, largely affected by FX variations and higher mix of international operations and load factor. However, this adjusted passenger CASK ex-fuel is in line with LATAM's full year 2023 results, reflecting a focus on structural cost containment.
The changes in adjusted operating expenses during the quarter were mainly explained by:
3
1Q 2024 Results | | ||||
•Wages and benefits increased 15.2% versus the same period of 2023, mainly explained by higher costs of crews and airport personnel, along with a 10.1% rise in the average headcount of the group (mainly pilots and cabin crew), due to the 17.5% increase in passenger operations year over year.
•Aircraft fuel costs decreased 3.3% compared to the first quarter of 2023, explained by a 15.1% decrease in the average jet fuel price (excluding hedges) compared to the same period of 2023, which was partially offset by the 17.5% growth in operations.
•Commissions to agents increased 23.5% versus 1Q23, associated with the increase 17.5% in operations, and a 3.0% increase in RASK. The greatest growth could be seen in the international segment, where capacity increased by 25.2% compared to the same quarter of the previous year.
•Depreciation and amortization increased 19.7% versus 1Q23, explained by the increase of the number of aircraft in the fleet during this period and the incorporation of newer aircraft. Specifically, the fleet size, excluding aircraft available for sale, expanded from 275 aircraft to 298 aircraft and the number of newer Neo family aircraft doubled year over year.
•Other rental and landing fees increased 30.4% versus 1Q23, mainly explained by a 25.2% increase in international operations, in addition to a higher number of passengers transported due the consolidated load factor increase.
•Passenger services expenses totaled US$76 million, increasing 20.6% versus the same period of 2023, explained by the growth of operations, in addition, there has been a rise in the number of passengers transported (+19.4% versus 1Q23) and an increase in the consolidated load factor.
•Aircraft rentals expenses, which correspond exclusively to LATAM group’s fleet power-by-the-hour (PBH) contracts, amounted to US$1.2 million, representing a 94.8% decrease versus 1Q23. This significant decline is a result of almost all PBH contracts for aircraft expiring, with only a few wide-body aircraft remaining under PBH. This expense is considered a special item since there is a non-cash double counting of fleet PBH in Aircraft Rentals and in the Depreciation & Amortization line, and therefore has been adjusted for in the adjusted financial figures.
•Aircraft maintenance expenses totaled US$194 million, corresponding to a 41.2% increase versus 1Q23, partially explained by the 17.5% increase in operations. On the other hand, there have been additional costs due to supply chain issues and additional maintenance tasks executed during the period for approximately US$20 million, as well as an escalation in engine related costs for approximately US$7 million.
•Other operating expenses increased 38.0% compared to 1Q23 and amounted to US$377 million, partially explained by higher variable costs of crew, reservation systems and sales and advertising, as a result of the 17.5% increase in passenger operations. Furthermore, this line was impacted by fluctuations in FX rates during this quarter for approximately US$11 million.
Non-operating results
•Interest income amounted to US$31 million in the quarter. This represents a US$14 million increase from the same period of 2023, explained by a higher level of cash and cash equivalents which was invested in fixed-term bank deposits.and higher interest rate compared to 1Q23.
•Interest expense increased 16.6% versus 1Q23, to US$191 million during the quarter, mainly due to the higher interest rate environment and the increase in the number of aircraft leases. As a reference, SOFR base rate increased by an average of 50 basis points compared to the same quarter of 2023.
•Other income (expense), registered a US$5.7 million expense during the quarter versus US$2.6 million expense during 1Q23. This increase is mainly explained by an increase in expenses associated with labor processes in Argentina for US$27 million, offset by a US$22 million gain due to the effects of exchange differences.
•Net income attributable to the owners of the parent company during the quarter was US$258 million.

Liquidity as a percentage of revenues of last twelve months was 24.0%.
LATAM group registered a consolidated fleet debt (operational leases and finance leases) of US$4.5 billion, alongside a non-fleet financial debt of US$2.6 billion. This results in a total gross debt of US$7.1 billion and a net debt of US$5.2 billion. At the end of the period, LATAM group reported an adjusted net leverage of 1.9x, demonstrating its strong capital structure and its robust operations.

Reconciliation of Reported Amounts to Non-GAAP Items (in thousands of US Dollars)
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. ("LATAM" or "the Company") prepares its financial statements under “International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB, however, for ease of presentation and comparison, the Income Statement in this report is presented in an Adapted by Nature Format. On some occasions, adjustments to these Income Statement figures are made for Special Items. These adjustments to include or exclude special items allows management an additional tool to understand and analyze its core operating performance and allow for more meaningful comparison in the industry. Therefore, LATAM believes these non-GAAP financial measures, derived from the consolidated financial statements but not presented in accordance with IFRS, may provide useful information to investors and others. In this table, you can find a reconciliation of the IFRS and the Adapted by Nature Format as LATAM reports its Income Statement in this earnings release for ease of comparison and further disclosure, as well as the adjustments made for Special Items.
These non-GAAP items may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP items of other companies and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The tables below show these reconciliations:
