EPS and EPADS reached R$0.17 and US$0.09, respectively1
São Paulo, April 30, 2019 - GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (“GOL” or “Company”), (NYSE: GOL and B3: GOLL4), Brazil’s premier domestic airline, announces its consolidated results for the first quarter of 2019 (1Q19). All information is presented in accordance with IFRS, in Brazilian Reais (R$) and all comparisons are with the first quarter of 2018 (1Q18), unless otherwise stated.
Improved operating indicators: RPKs increased by 6.4%, totaling 10.6 billion in 1Q19, driven by 7% growth in the number of transported passengers; ASK growth remained constrained at 5%. As a result of strong passenger demand, GOL’s revenue management, and GOL’s consistent operational excellence, the Company was able to achieve (i) an average yield per passenger of 28.55 cents (R$), an increase of 1.9% compared to 1Q18; (ii) an average load factor of 81.5%, an increase of 1.1 p.p. quarter-over-quarter; and (iii) on-time performance of 87.1% in 1Q19 according to Infraero’s methodology and data from major airports in Brazil.
Strong revenue growth: the combination of higher demand and optimized pricing resulted in a net revenue for the quarter of R$3.2 billion, the highest ever recorded by the Company, and an increase of 8.3% compared to 1Q18. Net RASK was 24.63 cents (R$) in 1Q19, an increase of 3.2% over 1Q18. Net PRASK increased 3.3% over 1Q18, reaching 23.27 cents (R$). Average fare increased by 1.3% from R$335 to R$339. GOL’s 2019 net revenue guidance is approximately R$13 billion.
Cost environment: unit costs (CASK), excluding non-recurring expenses increased by 4.7% to 20.44 cents (R$). On an ex-fuel basis and excluding non-recurring expenses CASK increased 3.2%, due to (i) a 16.2% average depreciation of the Real against the US dollar that impacted maintenance, landing fees and international services costs; (ii) the termination of the federal payroll tax relief, which increased the INSS payroll tax rate from 0% to 20%; and (iii) a higher number of transported passengers and higher costs from reimbursement of tickets and accommodation costs (mainly related to the grounding of the MAX-8 fleet). Growth in CASK ex-fuel, excluding non-recurring expenses, remained constrained at 3.2%, totaling 12.80 cents (R$). GOL remains the unit cost leader in South America for the 18th consecutive year.
Solid margins: due to its strong cost control, and management of capacity and yields, the Company achieved a positive operating result for the 11th consecutive quarter, despite a 16.2% average depreciation of the Real against the US dollar and a 9.3% increase in price of jet fuel. The combination of stronger pricing and higher demand permitted GOL to achieve an EBIT margin of 17%. Operating income (EBIT) in 1Q19 was R$546.2 million, an increase of 1.3% compared to 1Q18 (R$539.1 million). EBITDA margin was 29.6% in 1Q19, increase of 1.9 p.p. q-o-q. GOL’s 2019 EBIT margin and EBITDA margin guidance is approximately 18% and 28%, respectively.
Balance sheet strengthening: the Real depreciated 17.2% (end of period) against the U.S. dollar causing net exchange and monetary variation losses of R$90.7 million. Net debt (excluding perpetual bonds) to LTM EBITDA was 3.3x as of March 31, 2019. During the quarter, GOL amortized R$147.9 million of its 7th issue of debentures. Total liquidity, including cash, financial investments, restricted cash and accounts receivable, was R$3.5 billion, R$549.7 million higher in comparison to December 31, 2018 and an increase of R$421.5 million versus a year ago. Restricted cash was R$469.3 million in 1Q19, 42.9% lower than the R$822.1 million registered in 4Q18. The combination of GOL’s operational cash flow generation of R$253.6 million in the quarter and higher cash liquidity increased the Company’s financial flexibility.
Guidance: GOL’s 2019 and 2020 guidance is on page 16 of this document.

Management’s Comments on Results
The recovery in the Brazilian economy, increasing consumer confidence index, the stabilization in interest rates and inflation have strengthened the corporate travel environment, while GOL’s operational excellence helped strengthen its share of corporate passengers to 37.8%, according to ABRACORP. The Company’s focus on Customer experience and satisfaction, and excellence in services, has consolidated GOL as the preferred carrier in Brazil, with a market share of 36.4% in the domestic market, according to ANAC.
The Company’s positive view for 2019 is reinforced by recent changes in the Brazilian regulatory environment: the reduction of the ICMS (Value Added) tax on jet fuel in several Brazilian states and governmental actions that promote industry modernization. These factors are beneficial for GOL’s businesses and align the Brazilian industry regulation with international best practices. “Our consolidated business model allows us to be well positioned for growth in demand combined with disciplined capacity and dynamic yield management”, explained Paulo Kakinoff, CEO.
GOL recently expanded its domestic network with the announcement of six new regional routes and the establishment of new regional strategic partnerships. GOL will begin service to the cities of Cascavel, Passo Fundo, Vitória da Conquista and Sinop, in the States of Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Bahia and Mato Grosso, respectively, and the cities of Franca and Barretos, in the State of São Paulo, now with direct connections to the city of São Paulo. The Company’s new regional strategic partnerships have expanded connectivity in Brazil’s North and Mid-West regions with 21 new destinations for GOL’s Customers.
“We are pleased to announce the expansion of our domestic network. The new destinations will strengthen our competitive position in the State of São Paulo. The initiative adopted by the São Paulo State Government to reduce the ICMS tax rate on jet fuel from 25% to 12% and our new regional strategic partnerships are essential for the expansion of our services, allowing GOL to serve new markets starting on the second semester of 2019”, stated Kakinoff.
GOL also continues focused on the international market expansion, however, with flexibility in our flight network that allows us to adapt to environments with high volatility. Aligned with its number one principle - Safety - the Company was one of the first airlines in the world to ground the 737 MAX-8 prior to receiving any request from a regulatory body.
Since the beginning of its MAX-8 operations in June 2018, GOL operated 2,933 flights, totaling over 12,700 hours, offering absolute safety to Customers. “The MAX-8 will be one of the pillars of our international expansion strategy, reinforcing GOL’s competitive advantage at the lowest costs and offering the best operational efficiency in the Brazilian airline industry. The Company has confidence in the MAX-8 aircraft and has the flexibility to extend the scheduled return of 737 NGs, if necessary. Boeing implemented a comprehensive and multidisciplinary plan to update the MAX-8 and, in a short time frame, our Customers will be able to benefit again from the technology and comfort offered by this aircraft”, stated Kakinoff. During this period impacted by the grounding of the MAX-8, GOL is operating flights from its international hubs in Brasília and Fortaleza to the United States with its NG aircraft.
“The engagement of our 15,000 employees throughout Brazil and overseas led GOL to two important achievements this quarter: (i) recognition as the only Brazilian airline ranked amongst the top 25 companies that Brazilians want to work for, according to the survey conducted by the “Você S/A” magazine and the Institute of Management Foundation (FIA); and (ii) recognition as Top Companies 2019 by Linkedin, as one of the 25 companies that young people dream to build a career at”, said Paulo Kakinoff.
Despite the 16.2% depreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar, and cost pressures from the 9.3% increase in the price of jet fuel, GOL recorded positive EBIT for the 11th consecutive quarter. The Company has hedged approximately 62% of its fuel consumption for the remainder of 2019 at an average cost of US$60.

The Company continued its focus on the strengthening of its capital structure, including the amortization of R$147.9 million of its 7th issuance of debentures and the tender offer for 15% of its 2022 Senior Notes. In addition, GOL recently carried out an innovative offering of US$300 million of Exchangeable Senior Notes maturing in 2024. The issuance bears an interest rate of 3.75% per year, reducing the Company’s average interest expense by 50 bps., and an effective conversion price of US$27.75 per ADS, representing a premium of 85% of the market price at the time of issuance. After the exercise of the green shoe option for this transaction, GOL issued another US$45 million in April 2019, increasing the total amount of the Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2024 to US$345 million. “This was the lowest coupon achieved in GOL’s history, which provides evidence of investor confidence in our credit profile and capital structure, and the potential performance and liquidity of our shares”, stated Richard Lark, CFO. In addition, in March 2019, Moody's upgraded GOL’s credit rating to B1, with stable outlook.
“The actions undertaken this quarter improved our liquidity, reduced the weighted average cost of debt and extended the average maturity. The market continues to recognize our credit improvement and is very comfortable with GOL’s risk, as a result of the plan that the Company has implemented over the last few years”, concluded Richard Lark.

Net revenue
Net revenue in 1Q19 was R$3.2 billion, an increase of 8.3% when compared to 1Q18, mainly due to an increase in the passenger revenues in domestic market and baggage allowance revenues quarter-over-quarter, with RPKs increasing by 6.4%, to 10,625 million in 1Q19. Cargo revenues and other ancillary revenues represented R$177.3 million in 1Q19, 7.2% increase compared to 1Q18.
GOL’s load factor increased by 1.1 p.p. to 81.5% in the quarter, as demand expanded faster than ASK growth. Average fares increased by 1.3%, from R$335 to R$339, driving 1.9% increase in yield.
CASK increased by 4.7% (excluding non-recurring expenses), from 19.52 cents (R$) in 1Q18 to 20.44 cents (R$), primarily due to a 9.3% increase in the price per liter of jet fuel and a 16.2% depreciation of the Real against the US Dollar. CASK ex-fuel increased 3.2% (excluding non-recurring expenses), mainly due to the termination of the payroll tax relief program, higher depreciation per ASK driven by capitalized maintenance on aircraft components (including engines) and an increase in comparable fleet considering seven new aircraft (four net incremental adds), in addition to higher passenger expenses resulting from the grounding of our 737 MAX-8 fleet.
Breakeven load factor (excluding non-recurring expenses) increased by 1.8 p.p., reaching 67.6% vs. 65.6% in 1Q18, primarily due to operating expense growth in the quarter. The breakdown of the Company’s operating costs and expenses is as follows:

1. Excluding non-recurring expenses. *1Q18 results have been restated based on IFRS 16, unaudited. Certain calculations may not match with the information in the quarterly financials due to rounding.
Aircraft fuel costs per ASK increased by 7.2% compared to 1Q18 to 7.63 cents (R$), mainly due to 9.3% increase in the fuel price per liter.
Salaries, wages and benefits per ASK increased by 13.0% to 4.40 cents (R$) over 1Q18, primarily due to the end of Payroll Tax Relief Program.
Sales and marketing per ASK decreased 0.4% in relation to 1Q18, to 1.02 cent (R$), impacted by incentives directly associated to the increase in revenue, offset by lower advertising costs in 1Q19.
Landing fees per ASK decreased 0.1% compared to 1Q18 to 1.51 cent (R$).
Passenger costs per ASK increased 21.0% to 1.17 cent (R$), due to increased reimbursement of tickets and accommodation costs mostly related to the MAX-8 grounding, and higher ramp service costs.
Services per ASK costs increased 9.4% in relation to 1Q18, to 1.15 cent (R$), mainly due to the significant exchange rate variation impact on international services.
Maintenance materials and repairs per ASK decreased from 0.89 cent (R$) in 1Q18 to 0.34 cent (R$) in 1Q19, due to higher capitalization of rotables and components (including engines) repairs, aligned to the execution of fleet renewal plan.
Depreciation and amortization per ASK increased 35.7% to 3.11 cents (R$), mainly due to the increased capitalized maintenance on the main components of aircraft (including engines) and an increase of depreciation based on the 7 new aircraft (4 net additions) that were incorporated into the fleet.
Other expenses per ASK increased 53.8% in relation to 1Q18, mainly due to comparison base affected by R$81.9 million in gains on aircraft sales which occurred in the year-ago quarter.
Operating result
Operating income (EBIT), excluding non-recurring expenses, was R$546.2 million, an increase of 1.3% compared to the same period in 2018. 1Q19 operating margin was 17.0%, decrease of 1.2 p.p. in relation to 1Q18. On a per available seat-kilometer basis, EBIT (excluding non-recurring expenses) was 4.19 cents (R$) in 1Q19, compared to 4.34 cents (R$) in 1Q18.
EBITDA (excluding non-recurring expenses) totaled R$951.8 million, increase of 15.5% over 1Q18. EBITDA margin was 29.6%, 1.9 p.p. higher than 1Q18. The impact of the increase in RASK of 0.76 cent (R$) and the increase in CASK ex-depreciation of 0.91 cent (R$) resulted in an EBITDA per available seat-kilometer of 7.30 cents (R$) in 1Q19, increase of 0.67 cent (R$) compared to 1Q18.

This release contains forward-looking statements relating to the prospects of the business, estimates for operating and financial results, and those related to growth prospects of GOL, as well as the expected impact of the recently issued accounting standard IFRS 16. These are merely estimates and projections and, as such, are based exclusively on the expectations of GOL’s management. Such forward-looking statements depend, substantially, on external factors, in addition to the risks disclosed in GOL’s filed disclosure documents and are, therefore, subject to change without prior notice.
To be consistent with industry practice. GOL discloses so-called non-GAAP financial measures which are not recognized under IFRS or U.S. GAAP. including “Net Debt”, ”total liquidity” and "EBITDA". The Company’s management believes that disclosure of non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of its operating performance and their comparison of its operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry and other industries. However, these non-GAAP items do not have standardized meanings and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled items adopted by other companies. Potential investors should not rely on information not recognized under IFRS as a substitute for the GAAP measures of earnings or liquidity in making an investment decision.
