Third Quarter 2024(All figures are reported in U.S. dollars and compared to 3Q 2023 unless otherwise noted)

Total operating revenues amounted to $813 million in the quarter, driven by an increase in base fares and ancillary revenue per passenger. This represents only a 4.1% decrease, despite a double-digit reduction in total capacity resulting from aircraft-on-ground (AOGs) due to Pratt & Whitney’s (P&W) engine inspections.

Total capacity, in terms of available seat miles (ASMs), was 8.7 billion, representing a 14.4% reduction.

Booked passengers totaled 7.6 million, a 12.4% decrease. Mexican domestic booked passengers decreased 16.0%, while international booked passengers remained practically unchanged year-over-year.

The load factor for the quarter reached 87.4%, representing an increase of 1.0 percentage point.

TRASM rose 12.0% to $9.38 cents, and total operating revenue per passenger stood at $107, representing a 9.4% increase.

The average base fare per passenger stood at $53, a 9.3% increase. The total ancillary revenue per passenger was $54, reflecting a 9.6% improvement. Ancillary revenue accounted for 50.4% of total operating revenue.

Total operating expenses were $687 million, representing 84.5% of total operating revenue.

CASM totaled $7.92 cents, representing a 0.8% decrease.

The average economic fuel cost decreased by 16.6% to $2.64 per gallon.

CASM ex fuel increased 9.9% to $5.39 cents, mainly due to reduced operating leverage as a result of the AOGs caused by the P&W engine inspections, with an average of 34 aircraft-on-ground during the quarter.

Comprehensive financing result represented an expense of $46 million, compared to a $73 million expense in the same period of 2023.

Income tax expense was $43 million, compared to a $5 million expense registered in the third quarter of 2023.

Net income in the quarter was $37 million, with an earnings per ADS of $32 cents, compared to a $39 million net loss in the same period of 2023.

EBITDAR for the quarter was $315 million, a 52.2% improvement, primarily driven by solid unit revenues, strict cost control, and more favorable jet fuel prices. EBITDAR margin stood at 38.7%, up by 14.3 percentage points.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Capital Allocation

For the quarter, net cash flow provided by operating activities was $233 million. Net cash flow used in investing and financing activities was $149 million and $54 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments were $830 million, representing 25.9% of the last twelve months' total operating revenue.

The financial debt amounted to $740 million, an increase of 30.5% year-over-year, due to predelivery payments related to 2026 aircraft deliveries and spare engine financing. Total lease liabilities stood at $2,986 million, an increase of 5.7% due to the increase in the total fleet.

Net debt-to-LTM EBITDAR6 ratio stood at 2.7x, compared to 2.9x in the previous quarter and 3.5x in the same period of 2023.

The average exchange rate for the period was Ps.18.92 per U.S. dollar and Ps.19.63 per U.S. dollar at the end of the third quarter, reflecting depreciations of 10.9% and 11.4% of the Mexican peso, respectively.
