To the Shareholders, Board of Directors, and Management of

Azul S.A.

São Paulo – SP

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information of Azul S.A.(the Company), comprised in the Quarterly Information Form for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, comprising the balance sheet as of September 30, 2024, and the respective statements of income and of comprehensive income for the three and nine-month periods then ended and of changes in shareholders’ equity and of cash flows for the period of nine months then ended, including the footnotes.

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with NBC TG 21 – Interim Financial Reporting and with the international standard IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), such as for the presentation of these information in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission, applicable to the preparation of interim financial information. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

Review scope

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and International standards on reviews of interim information (NBC TR 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity and ISRE 2410 – Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is significantly less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Brazilian and International Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 
 

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information form referred to above has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NBC TG 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of interim financial information and presented in accordance with the standards issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission.

Other matters

Statements of value added

The quarterly information referred to above includes the individual and consolidated statements of value added for the nine months period ended September 30, 2024, prepared under the responsibility of the Company's management and presented as supplementary information for the purposes of IAS 34. These statements were submitted to the same review procedures in conjunction with the review of the Company's interim financial information to conclude they are reconciliated to the interim financial information and to the accounting records, as applicable, and whether the structure and content are in accordance with the criteria established in the NBC TG 09 - Statement of Value Added.Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria defined in that standard and consistently in relation to the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

Audit and review of values corresponding to the comparative year and period

The amounts corresponding to the year ended December 31, 2023, and the three- and nine-month periods ending September 30, 2023, presented for comparison purposes were, respectively, audited and reviewed by another independent auditor, whose reports on the audit and reviews were, respectively, issued on April 12, 2024, and December 07, 2023, without modifications.

1.2Seasonality

 

The Company’s operating revenues depend substantially on the general volume of passenger and cargo traffic, which is subject to seasonal changes. Our passenger revenues are generally higher during the summer and winter holidays, in January and July respectively, and in the last two weeks of December, which corresponds to the holiday season. Considering the distribution of fixed costs, this seasonality tends to cause variations in operating results between periods of the fiscal year.

2.GOING CONCERN

 

2.1Management Statement

 

The Company's interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements were prepared on going concern basis, which assumes that the Company will be able to fulfill its payment obligations in accordance with contracted maturities, which is confirmed by a positive trend in generating operating cash flows.

 

On performing the Company's going concern assessment, management considered the financial position and results of operations up to September 30, 2024, as well as other foreseen or occurred events up to the date of issuance of these interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

Management understands that even with the existence of a certain degree of uncertainty regarding the Company's ability to fulfill its obligations, the renegotiations carried out between the Company and its creditors, including lessors and suppliers of aircraft services and parts (“OEMs”), as disclosed in note 39 Subsequent Events, corroborate Management's judgment regarding the Company's reasonable expectation of having sufficient resources to continue operating in the foreseeable future.

 

Additionally, Management's conclusion is based on the Company's business plan approved by the Board of Directors in December 2023 and the liability restructuring process described in these interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements. The Company's business plans include planned future actions, macroeconomic and aviation sector assumptions, such as level of demand for air transport with corresponding increase in traffic and fares, estimated exchange rates and fuel prices.

 

Management confirms that all relevant information specific to the interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements is being disclosed, and corresponds to that used by it in the development of its business management activities.

 

2.2Debt restructuring

 

Until September 30, 2024, Azul's Management continued the process of restructuring its debts, as presented in detail in this interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements (note 18 and 19).

 

2.3Extreme weather event

 

During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, there was an extreme weather event with heavy rains in the central region of the State of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, making it impossible to provide air services due to flooding and the consequent closure of Salgado Filho Airport in Porto Alegre, the main airport in the region. The Company dedicated humanitarian efforts with the aim of supporting actions carried out by local authorities who acted in response to the emergency with the affected population. In order to face this scenario, the Company began to monitor and establish operational and financial strategies to get through this period until the resumption of operations, increasing flights to nearby cities, in order to serve affected passengers.

 

In October 2024, air services were gradually resumed at Salgado Filho international airport.

2.4Net working capital and capital structure

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company's working capital and liquid equity position are as shown below:

 

Description   September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023 Variation
   
Net working capital    (13,510,737)   (9,704,733)   (3,806,004) 
Equity    (26,035,995)   (21,327,848)   (4,708,147) 

 

The negative variation in the balance of net working capital is mainly due to the increase in liabilities in foreign currency, due to the 12.5% devaluation of the real against the US dollar and the postponement of accounts payable payments.

 

The negative variation of equity is mainly due to the Company's negative financial result, which exceeds by R$4,777,277 the operating profit due to foreign currency exchange and interest on leases, loans and financing.

 

 

3.  BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company’s interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), specifically IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting. The accounting practices adopted in Brazil include those included in the Brazilian corporation law and the technical pronouncements, guidelines and interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”), approved by the Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”) and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

 

The Company’s interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the real (“R$”) as a functional and presentation currency. All currencies shown are expressed in thousands unless otherwise noted.

 

The Company operates mainly through its aircraft and other assets that support flight operations, making up its cash generating unit (CGU) and its only reportable segment: air transport.

 

The preparation of the Company's interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. However, the uncertainty related to these judgments, assumptions and estimates can lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses in future years.

The increase in “Other” accounts receivable in foreign currency mainly refers to contractual guarantees from aeronautical manufacturers.

 

In Brazil, credit card receivables are not exposed to credit risk of the cardholder. The balances can easily be converted into cash, when necessary, through advance payment with credit card companies.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company anticipated the receipt of R$8,859,779 in accounts receivable from credit card administrators, without right of return, with an average cost of 0.9% p.m. on the anticipated amount. On the same date, the balance of accounts receivable is net of R$3,027,182 due to such advances (R$3,349,391 on December 31, 2023).

 

The breakdown of accounts receivable by maturity, net of allowances for losses:

(a)This refers to the participation in the value of the Company's total equity, calculated as if all 928,965,058 common shares had been converted into 12,386,201 preferred shares at the conversion ratio of 75 common shares for each preferred share.

 

(b)This refers to the participation in the value of the Company's total equity, calculated as if the weighted average of preferred shares had been converted into common shares at the conversion ratio of 75 common shares for each one preferred share.

 

The diluted result per share is calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares in circulation, except those in treasury, for instruments potentially convertible into shares. However, due to the losses recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, these instruments issued by the Company have a non-dilutive effect and, therefore, were not considered in the total number of shares in circulation to determine the diluted loss per share.

36.3Credit risk

 

Credit risk is inherent to the Company's operating and financial activities, mainly disclosed in cash and cash equivalents, long-term investments, accounts receivable, security deposits and maintenance reserves. The TAP Bond is guaranteed by intellectual property rights and credits related to the TAP mileage program.

 

Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal classification criteria and the carrying amounts represent the maximum credit risk exposure. Outstanding receivables from customers are frequently monitored by the Company and, when necessary, allowances for expected credit losses are recognized.

 

Derivative financial instruments are contracted on the over-the-counter (OTC) market with counterparties that maintain a relationship, and can be contracted on commodity and futures exchanges (B3 and NYMEX), which mitigates and contributes to credit risk. The Company assesses the risks of counterparties in financial instruments and diversifies exposure periodically.

 

36.4Liquidity risk

 

The maturity schedules of the Company’s consolidated financial liabilities as of September 30, 2024 are as follows:

39 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

39.1Renegotiations

 

On October 7, 2024, the Company successfully reached commercial agreements with its lessors and OEMs representing approximately 98% of the existing share issuance obligations, subject to certain conditions and applicable corporate approvals. As a result of the agreements it is expected to convert around R$3.1 billion of debt into 100 million new preferred shares in a single issue.

 

On October 28, 2024, the Company entered into agreements with its current holders of debt securities (“Senior Notes”) to raise up to US$500 million in additional resources, with US$150 million already received and US$250 million expected by the end of 2024 and with potential to unlock another US$100 million.

 

These additional resources will support the efforts to improve the Company's cash flow by more than $150 million by reducing certain obligations with lessors and OEMs over the next 18 months. The Company will seek additional cash flow improvements of approximately US$100 million per year and thus there is a potential conversion into equity instruments of up to US$800 million of existing secondary secured debt, leading to an additional reduction of almost US$100 million in interest payments per year.
