- Net income of $10
million. Earnings per American Depositary Shares (ADS) of $9
cents.
- Total
operating revenue of $726 million, a 7.2% decrease.
- Total
revenue per available seat mile (TRASM) increased 12% to
$8.89 cents.
- Available
seat miles (ASMs) decreased by 17% to 8.2 billion.
- Total
operating expenses of $660 million, representing 91% of
total operating revenue.
- Total
operating expenses per available seat mile (CASM)
increased 9.1% to $8.08 cents.
- Average
economic fuel cost increased 6.1% to $2.86 per
gallon.
- CASM ex
fuel increased 11% to $5.33 cents.
-
EBITDAR of $261 million, a 23% increase.
- EBITDAR
margin was 35.9%, an increase of 8.8 percentage
points.
- Total cash,
cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term

last twelve months’ total operating revenue.
- Net
debt-to-LTM EBITDAR2 ratio decreased to
2.9x, compared to 3.1x in the previous quarter.
Enrique Beltranena, President &
Chief Executive Officer, said: “Volaris continues to
perform positively, achieving our highest absolute EBITDAR for a
second quarter despite the fleet groundings due to accelerated
engine inspections. Volaris’ unwavering focus on execution and
efficient cost control has enabled us to deliver strong results.
Our mitigation plan is on track with favorable outcomes, and we
have largely achieved our goals since the inspections began. In
fact, we are improving our full-year ASM guidance to -14%3. We
currently have a well-balanced market mix, with an increased
presence in the cross-border market that has strengthened our
TRASM, and our booking curves indicate ongoing robust performance
for the summer high season.
With recent updates from Pratt & Whitney, we
are cautiously optimistic about this evolving situation, but we
recognize that the engine's time on wing remains a challenge.
Looking ahead, as grounded aircraft gradually return to our
productive fleet, we expect recent unit revenue levels to remain
resilient and remain committed to prudent and rational growth,
prioritizing profitability.”

Second Quarter 2024(All figures
are reported in U.S. dollars and compared to 2Q 2023 unless
otherwise noted)
Total operating revenue
amounted to $726 million in the quarter, driven by strong domestic
demand and an improvement in total operating revenue per passenger.
This represents a 7.2% decrease, notwithstanding the 17% reduction
in total capacity resulting from aircraft-on-ground (AOG) due to
Pratt & Whitney’s accelerated engine inspections.
Total capacity, in terms of available
seat miles (ASMs), was 8.2 billion.
Booked passengers totaled 7.1
million, a 15% decrease. Mexican domestic and international booked
passengers decreased 18% and 4.9%, respectively.
The load factor for the quarter
reached 85.5%, representing an increase of 0.9 percentage
points.
TRASM rose 12% to $8.89 cents,
and total operating revenue per passenger stood at $102,
representing a 9.8% increase.
The average base fare was $49, a 4.3% increase.
The total ancillary revenue per passenger was $53, reflecting a 15%
improvement. Ancillary revenue represented 52% of total operating
revenue, up by 2.6 percentage points.
Total operating expenses were
$660 million, representing 91% of total operating revenue.
CASM totaled $8.08 cents, a
9.1% increase when compared to the same period of 2023.
The average economic fuel cost
rose 6.1% to $2.86 per gallon.
CASM ex fuel increased 11% to
$5.33 cents, mainly due to the AOG due to Pratt and Whitney's
engine preventive accelerated inspections.
Comprehensive financing result
represented an expense of $52 million, compared to a $43 million
expense in the same period of the previous year.
Income tax expense was $4
million, compared to a $2 million expense registered in the second
quarter of 2023.
Net income in the quarter was
$10 million, with an earnings per ADS of $9 cents.
EBITDAR for the quarter was
$261 million, a 23% improvement, primarily attributable to strong
unit revenues and efficient cost control, partially offset by an
increase in fuel prices. EBITDAR margin stood at
35.9%, up by 8.8 percentage points.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity, and Capital
Allocation
For the quarter, net cash flow provided by
operating activities was $304 million. Net cash flow used in
investing and financing activities was $141 million and $149
million, respectively.
As of June 30, 2024, cash, cash equivalents,
restricted cash, and short-term investments were $774 million,
representing 24% of the last twelve months' total operating
revenue.
The financial debt amounted to $638 million,
while total lease liabilities stood at $3,003 million, resulting in
a net debt of $2,8677 million.
Net debt-to-LTM
EBITDAR7 ratio stood at 2.9x, compared to
3.1x in the previous quarter and 3.5x in the same period of
2023.

The third quarter and full year 2024 outlook

engine removals, in accordance with the Company’s agreement with
Pratt & Whitney.
The Company's outlook is subject to unforeseen
disruptions, macroeconomic factors, or other negative impacts that
may affect its business and is based on several assumptions,
including the foregoing, which are subject to change and may be
outside the control of the Company and its management. The
Company's expectations may change if actual results vary from these
assumptions. There can be no assurances that Volaris will achieve
these results.
Fleet
During the second quarter, Volaris added two
A321neo aircraft to its fleet, bringing the total number of
aircraft to 136. At the end of the quarter, Volaris’ fleet had an
average age of 6.1 years and an average seating capacity of 197

Supplemental Information on Non-IFRS
Measures
We evaluate our financial performance by using
various financial measures that are not performance measures under
International Financial Reporting Standards (“non-IFRS measures”).
These non-IFRS measures include CASM, CASM ex fuel, Adjusted CASM
ex fuel, EBITDAR, Net debt-to-LTM EBITDAR, Total cash, cash
equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term investments. We define
CASM as total operating expenses by available seat mile. We define
CASM ex fuel as total operating expenses by available seat mile,
excluding fuel expense. We define Adjusted CASM ex fuel as total
operating expenses by available seat mile, excluding fuel expense,
aircraft and engine variable lease expenses and sale and lease back
gains. We define EBITDAR as earnings before interest, income tax,
depreciation and amortization, depreciation of right of use assets
and aircraft and engine variable lease expenses. We define Net
debt-to-LTM EBITDAR as Net debt divided by LTM EBITDAR. We define
Total cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and short-term
investments as the sum of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash,
and short-term investments.
These non-IFRS measures are provided as
supplemental information to the financial information presented in
this release that is calculated and presented in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) because we
believe that they, in conjunction with the IFRS financial
information, provide useful information to management’s, analysts
and investors overall understanding of our operating
performance.
Because non-IFRS measures are not calculated in
accordance with IFRS, they should not be considered superior to and
are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute
for the related IFRS measures presented in this release and may not
be the same as or comparable to similarly titled measures presented
by other companies due to possible differences in the method of
calculation and the items being adjusted.
We encourage investors to review our financial
statements and other filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission in their entirety for additional information regarding
the Company and not to rely on any single financial measure.
Shareholders have the ability to receive a hard copy of the 2023
audited consolidated financial statements free of charge upon
