The Bankruptcy Filing for each of the Debtors (each one, respectively, a “Petition Date”) was jointly administered under the caption “In re LATAM Airlines Group S.A. et al.” Case Number 20- 11254. On June 18, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court issued a memorandum decision approving the Debtors’ joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and rejecting all remaining objections and entered an order confirming the Plan (the “Confirmation Order”). On November 3, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan was substantially consummated and each of the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 proceedings as “Reorganized Debtors”. Thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors were permitted to operate their businesses and manage their properties without supervision of the Bankruptcy Court and free of the restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company received an infusion of approximately US$8.19 billion through a mix of new equity, convertible notes and debt, which enabled the Company to exit Chapter 11 with appropriate capitalization to effectuate its business plan. Upon emergence, the Company had total debt of approximately US$6.8 billion, cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$1.1 billion and revolving undrawn facilities in the amount of US$1.1 billion.

 

Pursuant to the Plan and Backstop Agreements, LATAM raised up to US$500 million through a new revolving credit facility and approximately US$2.25 billion in total new money debt financing through exit financing (new term loan and new notes).

 

As customary in this type of restructurings, the docket of the Chapter 11 proceedings remained open after the Effective Date to finalize the reconciliation process of certain claims that were still outstanding as of the Effective Date, as well as to resolve certain administrative matters.

 

On June 29, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered a final decree in the Chapter 11 proceedings ordering that Case Number 20- 11254 and its docket be closed (the “Final Decree”). The foregoing, as a result of the resolution of substantially all remaining matters in the Chapter 11 proceedings and all appeals of the Confirmation Order.

2.2.Basis of Consolidation

 

(a)Subsidiaries

 

Subsidiaries are all the entities (including special-purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies, which are generally accompanied by a holding of more than half of the voting rights. In evaluating whether the Company controls another entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible at the date of the consolidated financial statements are considered. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is passed to the Company and they are excluded from the consolidation on the date they cease to be so controlled. The results and cash are incorporated from the date of acquisition.

 

Balances, transactions and unrealized gains on transactions between the Company’s entities are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment loss of the asset transferred. When necessary, in order to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company, the accounting policies of the subsidiaries are modified.

 

To account for and identify the financial information to be disclosed when carrying out a business combination, such as the acquisition of an entity by the Company, the acquisition method provided for in IFRS 3: Business combinations is used.

 

(b)Transactions with non-controlling interests

 

The Group applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not related to the loss of control, as equity transactions without an effect on income.

 

(c)Sales of subsidiaries

 

When a subsidiary is sold and a percentage of participation is not retained, the Company derecognizes the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, the non-controlling interest and other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any gain or loss resulting from the loss of control is recognized in the consolidated income statement by function within Other gains (losses).

 

If LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries retain an ownership of participation in the disposed subsidiary which does not represent control, this is recognized at fair value on the date that control is lost and the amounts previously recognized in Other comprehensive income are accounted as if the Company had disposed directly the assets and related liabilities, which can cause these amounts to be reclassified to profit or loss. The percentage retained valued at fair value is subsequently accounted using the equity method.

 

(d)Investees or associates

 

Investees or associates are all entities over which LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries have significant influence but have no control. This usually arises from holding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are booked using the equity method and are initially recognized at their cost.

 

2.3.Foreign currency transactions

 

(a)Presentation and functional currencies

 

The items included in the financial statements of each of the entities of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its Subsidiaries are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the United States Dollar, which is also the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.

 

(b)Transactions and balances

 

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and from the translation at the closing exchange rates of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are shown in the consolidated statement of income by function except when deferred in Other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

 

F-17

 

 

(c)Adjustment due to hyperinflation

 

After July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy was considered, for purposes of IFRS Accounting Standards, hyperinflationary. The consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Argentine Peso have been restated.

 

The non-monetary items of the statement of financial position as well as the income statement, comprehensive income and cash flows of the group’s entities, whose functional currency corresponds to a hyperinflationary economy, are adjusted for inflation and re-expressed in accordance with the variation of the consumer price index (“CPI”), at each presentation date of its financial statements. The re-expression of non-monetary items is made from the date of initial recognition in the statements of financial position and considering that the financial statements are prepared under the historical cost criterion.

 

Net losses or gains arising from the re-expression of non-monetary ítems and income and costs are recognized in the consolidated income statement under “Result of indexation units”.

 

Net gains and losses on the re-expression of opening balances due to the initial application of IAS 29 are recognized in consolidated retained earnings.

 

Re-expression due to hyperinflation will be recorded until the period or exercise in which the economy of the entity ceases to be considered as a hyperinflationary economy. At that time, the adjustments made by hyperinflation will be part of the cost of non-monetary assets and liabilities.

 

The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in a stable currency and are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level or exchange rates.

 

(d)Group entities

 

The results and the financial situation of the Group’s entities, whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements, of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., which does not correspond to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are converted into the currency of presentation as follows:

 

(i)Assets and liabilities of each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing exchange rate on the consolidated statement of financial position date;

 

(ii)The revenues and expenses of each income statement account are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates, and

 

(iii)All the resultant exchange differences by conversion are shown as a separate component in other comprehensive income, within “Gain (losses) from exchange rate difference, before tax”.

 

For those subsidiaries of the group whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency and corresponds to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy; its restated results, cash flow and financial situation are converted to the presentation currency at the closing exchange rate on the date of the consolidated financial statements.

 

The exchange rates used correspond to those fixed in the country where the subsidiary is located, whose functional currency is different to the U.S. dollar.

 

F-18

 

 

2.4.Property, plant and equipment

 

The land of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its Subsidiaries, are recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the Property, plant and equipment are recorded, both at their initial recognition and their subsequent measurement, at their historical cost, restated for inflation when appropriate, less the corresponding depreciation and any loss due to impairment.

 

The amounts of advances paid to the aircraft manufacturers are capitalized by the Company under Construction in progress until they are received.

 

Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements, extensions, etc.) are included in the value of the initial asset or are recognized as a separate asset, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the elements of property, plant and equipment, will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be determined reliably. The value of the replaced component is written off. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to income when they are incurred.

 

The depreciation of the Property, plant and equipment is calculated using the linear method over their estimated technical useful lives; except in the case of certain technical components which are depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown. This charge is recognized in the captions “Cost of sale” and “Administrative expenses”.

 

The residual value and the useful life of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, once a year. Useful lives are detailed in Note 16 (d).

 

When the value of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount.

 

Losses and gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the consideration with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.

 

2.5.Intangible assets other than goodwill

 

(a)Airport slots and Loyalty program

 

Airport slots and the Loyalty program correspond to intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and are annually tested for impairment as an integral part of the CGU Air Transport.

 

Airport Slots correspond to an administrative authorization to carry out operations of arrival and departure of aircraft, at a specific airport, within a certain period of time.

 

The Loyalty program corresponds to the system of accumulation and exchange of points that is part of TAM Linhas Aereas S.A.

 

The airport slots and Loyalty program were recognized at fair value under IFRS 3, as a consequence of the business combination with TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries.

 

(b)Computer software

 

Licenses for computer software acquired are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred in acquiring them and preparing them for using the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives, for which the Company has defined useful lives between 3 and 10 years.

 

Expenses related to the development or maintenance of computer software which do not qualify for capitalization, are shown as an expense when incurred. The personnel costs and other costs directly related to the production of unique and identifiable computer software controlled by the Company, are shown as intangible Assets other than Goodwill when they have met all the criteria for capitalization.

 

2.6.Borrowing costs

 

Interest costs incurred for the construction of any qualified asset are capitalized over the time necessary for completing and preparing the asset for its intended use. Other interest costs are recognized in the consolidated statement of income by function when accrued.

 

F-19

 

 

2.7.Losses for impairment of non-financial assets

 

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Assets subject to amortization are tested for impairment losses whenever any event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the fair value of an asset less the costs of sale or the value in use, whichever is greater. For the purpose of evaluating impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash generating unit. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that would have suffered an impairment loss are reviewed if there are indicators of reversal of losses. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income by function under “Other gains (losses)”.

 

2.8.Financial assets

 

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through gains or losses), and at amortized cost. The classification depends on the business model of the entity to manage the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.

 

The group reclassifies debt investments when, and only when, it changes its business model to manage those assets.

 

In the initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset classified at amortized cost, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets accounted for at fair value through profit or loss are recorded as expenses in the consolidated statement of income by function.

 

(a)Debt instruments

 

The subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group’s business model to manage the asset and cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Company has two measurement categories in which the group classifies its debt instruments:

 

Amortized cost: the assets held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent only payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in income when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in financial income using the effective interest rate method.

 

Fair value through profit or loss: assets that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and is presented net in the consolidated statement of income by function within other gains / (losses) in the period or exercise in which it arises.

 

(b)Equity instruments

 

Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other gains / (losses) in the consolidated statement of income by function as appropriate.

 

The Company evaluates in advance the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments recorded at amortized cost. The applied impairment methodology depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit.

 

2.9.Derivative financial instruments and embedded derivatives

 

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

 

Initially at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract was made and are subsequently valued at their fair value. The method to recognize the resulting loss or gain depends on whether the derivative designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged.

 

F-20

 

 

The Company designates certain derivatives as:

 

(a)Hedge of an identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly- probable transaction (cash-flow hedge), or

 

(b)Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

 

At the beginning of the transaction, the Company documents the economic relationship between the hedged items existing between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its objectives for risk management and the strategy to carry out various hedging operations. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged.

 

The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as Other non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the item hedged is over 12 months, and as an Other current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the item hedged is less than 12 months.

 

Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as Other financial assets or liabilities.

 

(a)Cash flow hedges

 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in the statement of other comprehensive income. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income by function under other gains (losses). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods or exercise when the hedged item affects profit or loss. When these amounts correspond to hedging derivatives of highly probable items that give rise to non-financial assets or liabilities, in which case, they are recorded as part of the non-financial assets or liabilities.

 

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to results under the line-item Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.

 

Gains or losses related to the effective part of the change in the intrinsic value of the options are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. Changes in the time value of the options related to this part are recognized within Other Consolidated Comprehensive Income in the costs of the hedge reserve within equity.

 

When a hedging instrument matures, is sold, or fails to meet the requirements to be accounted for as a hedge, any gain or loss accumulated in the statement of Other comprehensive income until that moment, remains in the statement of other comprehensive income and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized.

 

When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in the statement of other comprehensive income is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income by function as “Other gains (losses)”.

 

(b)Derivatives not booked as a hedge

 

The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not booked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income in “Other gains (losses)”.

 

Embedded derivatives

 

The Company assesses the existence of embedded derivatives in financial instrument contracts. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL as a whole. LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has determined that no embedded derivatives currently exist.

 

F-21

 

 

2.10.Inventories

 

Inventories, are shown at the lower of cost and their net realizable value. The cost is determined on the basis of the weighted average cost method (WAC). The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

 

2.11.Trade and other accounts receivable

 

Commercial accounts receivable are initially recognized at their fair value and subsequently at their amortized cost in accordance with the effective rate method, less the provision for impairment according to the model of the expected credit losses. The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires that expected lifetime losses be recognized upon initial recognition of accounts receivable.

 

In the event that the Company transfers its rights to any financial asset (generally accounts receivable) to a third party in exchange for a cash payment, the Company evaluates whether all risks and rewards have been transferred, in which case the account receivable is derecognized.

 

The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor, the probability that the debtor goes bankrupt or financial reorganization are considered indicators of a significant increase in credit risk.

 

The carrying amount of the asset is reduced as the provision account is used and the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement under “Cost of sales”. When an account receivable is written off, it is regularized against the provision account for the account receivable.

 

2.12.Cash and cash equivalents

 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, time deposits in financial institutions, and other short-term and highly liquid investments and a low risk of loss of value.

 

2.13.Capital

 

The common shares are classified as net equity.

 

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are shown in net equity as a deduction from the proceeds received from the placement of shares.

 

2.14.Trade and other accounts payables

 

Trade payables and other accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost.

 

2.15.Interest-bearing loans

 

Financial liabilities are shown initially at their fair value, net of the costs incurred in the transaction. Later, these financial liabilities are valued at their amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds obtained (net of the necessary arrangement costs) and the repayment value, is shown in the consolidated statement of income during the term of the debt, according to the effective interest rate method.

 

Financial liabilities are classified in current and non-current liabilities according to the contractual payment dates of the nominal principal and compliance with contractual agreements at the closing date of these financial statements.

 

Convertible Notes

 

The component parts of the convertible notes issued by LATAM Airlines Group S.A. are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

 

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date. The conversion option classified as equity is determined by the deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in other equity, net of income tax effects. and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in other equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in other equity will be transferred to share capital. Where the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity date of the convertible bond, the balance recognized in other equity will be transferred to retained earnings. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option.

 

F-22

 

 

Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are charged directly to equity.

 

2.16.Current and deferred taxes

 

The tax expense for the period or exercise comprises income and deferred taxes.

 

The current income tax expense is calculated based on tax laws enacted at the date of the statement of financial position, in the countries in which the subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.

 

Deferred taxes are recognized on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. When deferred taxes arise from the initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a transaction other than a business combination, which at the time of the transaction does not affect either the accounting result or the tax profit or loss, they are recorded. Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability discharged.

 

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that the future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

 

The tax (current and deferred) is recognized in the statement of income by function, unless it relates to an item recognized in other comprehensive income, directly in equity. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or, directly in the statement of income by function, respectively.

 

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if:

 

(a)there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and liabilities, and

 

(b)the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

 

(i)the same taxable entity, or

 

(ii)different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

 

LATAM Airlines Group S.A has evaluated the potential impact from the implementation of the “GloBE or Pillar Two rules”, which seeks to ensure that multinational groups pay a minimum effective tax rate of 15%. As of March 31, 2024, this regulation has not been adopted in Chile (where LATAM has its headquarters) or in other jurisdictions where LATAM Airlines Group S.A has operating companies. Therefore, it has not been necessary to estimate a potential impact of its application from its entry into force (January 1, 2024). At the close of this financial statements, the group does not present expenses or income for current taxes related to the Pillar Two income tax.

 

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its Subsidiaries have adopted the exception of paragraph 4A of IAS 12, incorporated in the amendment published on May 23, 2023, relating to the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.

 

2.17.Employee benefits

 

(a)Personnel vacations

 

The Company recognizes the expense for personnel vacations on an accrual basis.

 

F-23

 

 

(b)Share-based compensation

 

The compensation plans implemented based on the value of the shares of the Company are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 2: Share-based payments, for cash settled awards the fair value, updated as of the closing date of each reporting period or exercise, is recorded as a liability with charge to remuneration.

 

(c)Post-employment and other long-term benefits

 

Provisions are made for these obligations by applying the method of the projected unit credit method, and considering estimates of future permanence, mortality rates and future wage increases determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest-rate curves. Actuarial gains or losses are shown in other comprehensive income.

 

(d)Incentives

 

The Company has an annual incentives plan for its personnel for compliance with objectives and individual contribution to the results. The incentives eventually granted consist of a given number or portion of monthly remuneration and the provision is made on the basis of the amount estimated for distribution.

 

(e)Termination benefits

 

The group recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group terminates the employee relationship; and (b) when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits.

 

2.18.Provisions

 

Provisions are recognized when:

 

(i)The Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event;

 

(ii)It is probable that payment is going to be required to settle an obligation; and

 

(iii)A reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made.

 

2.19.Revenue from contracts with customers

 

(a)Transportation of passengers and cargo

 

The Company recognizes the sale for the transportation service as a deferred income liability, which is recognized as income when the transportation service has been provided or expired. In the case of air transport services sold by the Company and that will be made by other airlines, the liability is reduced when they are remitted to said airlines. The Company periodically reviews whether it is necessary to make an adjustment to deferred income liabilities, mainly related to returns, changes, among others.

 

Compensations granted to clients for changes in the levels of services or billing of additional services such as additional baggage, change of seat, among others, are considered modifications of the initial contract, therefore, they are deferred until the corresponding service is provided.

 

(b)Expiration of air tickets

 

The Company estimates on a monthly basis the probability of expiration of air tickets, with refund clauses, based on their history of use. Air tickets without a refund clause expire on the date of the flight in case the passenger does not show up.

 

(c)Costs associated with the contract

 

The costs related to the sale of air tickets are capitalized and deferred until the moment of providing the corresponding service. These assets are included under the heading “Other current non-financial assets” in the Consolidated Classified Statement of Financial Position.

 

F-24

 

 

(d)Frequent passenger program

 

The Company maintains the following loyalty programs: LATAMPASS’s and LATAMPASS’s Brazil, whose objective is building customer loyalty through the delivery of miles or points.

 

These programs give their frequent passengers the possibility of earning LATAMPASS’s miles or points, which grant the right to a selection of both air and non-air awards. Additionally, the Company sells the LATAMPASS miles or points to financial and non-financial partners through commercial alliances to award miles or points to their customers.

 

To reflect the miles and points earned, the loyalty program mainly includes two types of transactions that are considered revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations: (1) Passenger Ticket Sales Earning miles or points (2) miles or points sold to financial and non-financial partner.

 

(1)Passenger Ticket Sales Earning Miles or Points.

 

In this case, the miles or points are awarded to customers at the time that the company performs the flight.

 

To value the miles or points earned with travel, we consider the quantitative value a passenger receives by redeeming miles for a ticket rather than paying cash, which is referred to as Equivalent Ticket Value (“ETV”). Our estimate of ETV is adjusted for miles and points that are not likely to be redeemed (“breakage”).

 

The balance of miles and points that are pending to redeem are included within deferred revenue.

 

(2)Miles sold to financial and non-financial partners

 

To value the miles or points earned through financial and non-financial partners, the performance obligations with the client are estimated separately. To calculate these performance obligations, different components that add value in the commercial contract must be considered, such as marketing, advertising and other benefits, and finally the value of the points awarded to customers based on our ETV. The value of each of these components is finally allocated in proportion to their relative prices. The performance obligations associated with the valuation of the points or miles earned become part of the Deferred Revenue, and the remaining performance obligations are recorded as revenue when the miles or points are delivered to the client.

 

When the miles and points are exchanged for products and services other than the services provided by the Company, the income is recognized immediately; when the exchange is made for air tickets of any airline of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries, the income is deferred until the air transport service is provided.

 

The miles and points that the Company estimates will not be exchanged are recognized in the results based on the consumption pattern of the miles or points effectively exchanged by customers. The Company uses statistical models to estimate the probability of exchange, which is based on historical patterns and projections.

 

2.20.Leases

 

The Company recognizes contracts that meet the definition of a lease as a right of use asset and a lease liability on the date when the underlying asset is available for use.

 

Right of use assets are measured at cost including the following:

 

-The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
-Lease payment made at or before commencement date;
-Initial direct costs, and
-Restoration costs.

 

The right of use assets are recognized in the statement of financial position in Property, plant and equipment.

 

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following payments:

 

-Fixed payments including in substance fixed payment.
-Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
-The exercise price of a purchase option, if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.

 

The discount rate that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. uses is the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. This is the rate of interest that causes the present value of (a) lease payments and (b) the unguaranteed residual value to equal the sum of (i) the fair value of the underlying asset and (ii) any initial direct costs of the lessor.

 

F-25

 

 

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. uses its incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.

 

Lease liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position under “Other financial liabilities, current or non-current”.

 

Interest accrued on financial liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in “Financial costs”.

 

Principal and interest are present in the consolidated cash flow as “Payments of lease liability” and “Interest paid”, respectively, within financing cash flows.

 

Payments associated with short-term leases without purchase options and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis in profit or loss at the time of accrual. Those payments are presented within operating cash flows.

 

The Company analyzes the financing agreements of aircraft, mainly considering characteristics such as:

 

(a)That the Company initially acquired the aircraft or took an important part in the process of direct acquisition with the manufacturers.
  
(b)Due to the contractual conditions, it is virtually certain that the Company will execute the purchase option of the aircraft at the end of the lease term.

 

Since these financing agreements are “substantially purchases” and not leases, the related liability is considered as a financial debt classified under IFRS 9 and continues to be presented within the “Other financial liabilities” described in Note 18. On the other hand, the aircraft are presented in Property, Plant and Equipment, as described in Note 16, as “own aircraft”.

 

The Group qualifies as sale and lease transactions, operations that lead to a sale according to IFRS 15. More specifically, a sale is considered as such if there is no option to purchase the goods at the end of the lease term.

 

If the sale by the seller-lessee is classified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the underlying asset is derecognized, and a right-of-use asset equal to the portion retained proportionally of the amount of the asset is recognized.

 

If the sale by the seller-lessee is not classified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the transferred assets are kept in the financial statements and a financial liability equal to the sale price is recognized (received from the buyer-lessor).

 

2.21.Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale

 

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as assets held for sale are shown at the lesser of their book value and the fair value less costs to sell.

 

2.22.Maintenance

 

The costs incurred for scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to the use of the aircraft expressed in terms of cycles and flight hours.

 

In case of aircraft include in property, plant and equipment, these maintenance cost are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of aircraft on right of use, a liability is accrued based on the use of the main components is recognized, since a contractual obligation with the lessor to return the aircraft on agreed terms of maintenance levels exists. These are recognized as Cost of sales.

 

Additionally, some contracts that comply with the definition of lease establish the obligation of the lessee to make deposits to the lessor as a guarantee of compliance with maintenance and return conditions. These deposits, often called maintenance reserves, accumulate until a major maintenance is performed; and once done, recovery is requested to the lessor. At the end of the contract period, there is comparison between the reserves that have been paid and required return conditions, and compensation between the parties are made if applicable.

 

F-26

 

 

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

 

2.23.Environmental costs

 

Disbursements related to environmental protection are charged to results when incurred or accrue.

 

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

3.1.Financial risk factors

 

The Company is exposed to different financial risks: (a) market risk, (b) credit risk, and (c) liquidity risk. The risk management of the Company aims to minimize the adverse effects of financial risks affecting the company.

 

(a)Market risk

 

Due to the nature of its operations, the Company has exposure to market factors such as: (i) fuel-price risk, (ii) exchange -rate risk (FX), and (iii) interest -rate risk.

 

The Company has developed manuals and procedures to manage the market risk, which goal is to identify, quantify, monitor and mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market factors mentioned above.

 

For the foregoing, Management monitors the evolution of fuel price levels, exchange rates and interest rates, quantifies their exposures and their risk, and develops and executes hedging strategies.

 

(i)Fuel-price risk

 

Exposure:

 

For the execution of its operations, the Company purchases a fuel called Jet Fuel grade 54 USGC, which is subject to the fluctuations of international fuel prices.

 

Mitigation:

 

To hedge the fuel-price risk exposure, the Company operates with derivative instruments (swaps and options) whose underlying assets may be different from Jet Fuel, such as West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude, Brent (“BRENT”) crude and distillate Heating Oil (“HO”), which may have a high correlation with Jet Fuel and greater liquidity.

 

Fuel Hedging Results:

 

During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company recognized gains of US$19.1 million for fuel hedging net of premiums in the costs of sales for the year. During the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized gains of US$0.8 million for fuel hedging net of premiums in the costs of sales for the year.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the market value of the fuel positions amounted to US$37.20 million (positive). At the end of December 2023, this market value was US$22.1 million (positive).

 

F-27

 

 

The following tables show the level of hedge for different periods:

 

Positions as of March 31, 2024 (*) (Unaudited)  Maturities 
   Q224   Q324   Q424   Q125   Total 
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption   32%   30%   30%   3%   24%

 

Positions as of December 31, 2023 (*)  Maturities 
   Q124   Q224   Q324   Q424   Total 
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption   35%   32%   30%   22%   30%

 

(*)The percentage shown in the table considers all the hedging instruments (swaps and options).

 

Sensitivity analysis

 

A drop in fuel price positively affects the Company through a reduction in costs. However, also negatively affects contracted positions as these are acquired to protect the Company against the risk of a rise in price. Therefore, the policy is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in price.

 

The current hedge positions are booked as cash flow hedge contracts, so a variation in the fuel price has an impact on the Company’s net equity.

 

The following table shows the sensitivity of financial instruments according to reasonable changes in the price of fuel and their effect on equity.

 

The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$ 5 per barrel in the underlying reference price curve at the end of March 2024 and the end of December 2023. The projection period was defined until the end of the last fuel hedging contract in force, being the last business day of the second half of 2025.

 

Benchmark price   Positions as of March 31, 2024
effect on Equity
   Positions as of December 31, 2023
effect on Equity
 
(US$ per barrel)   (MUS$)   (MUS$) 
    Unaudited     
+5   +10.2   +10.8 
-5   -12.7   -10.7 

 

Given the fuel hedging structure for the year 2024, which considers a portion free of hedges, a vertical drop of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly daily average), would have meant an impact of approximately US$ 34.2 million lower fuel cost. For the same period, a vertical rise of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly daily average), would have meant an approximate impact of US$ 40.2 million in higher fuel costs.

 

(ii)Foreign exchange rate risk:

 

Exposure:

 

The functional currency of the financial statements of the Parent Company is the US dollar, so that the risk of the Transactional and Conversion exchange rate arises mainly from the Company’s business, strategic and accounting operating activities that are expressed in a monetary unit other than the functional currency.

 

The subsidiaries of LATAM are also exposed to foreign exchange risk whose impact affects the Company’s Consolidated Income.

 

The largest operational exposure to LATAM’s exchange risk comes from the concentration of businesses in Brazil, which are mostly denominated in Brazilian real (R$), and are actively managed by the Company.

 

At a lower concentration, the Company is also exposed to the fluctuation of other currencies, such as: Euro, Pound sterling, Australian dollar, Colombian peso, Chilean peso, Argentine peso, Paraguayan guarani, Mexican peso, Peruvian Sol and New Zealand dollar.

 

Mitigation:

 

The Company mitigates currency risk exposures by contracting hedging or non-hedging derivative instruments or through natural hedges or execution of internal operations.

 

F-28

 

 

Exchange Rate Hedging Results (FX):

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company recognized losses of US$1.4 million for FX hedging derivatives net of premiums reflected in the cost of sale. At the end of March of 2023, the Company recognize gains for US$1.9 million for FX hedging derivatives cost of sales.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the market value of hedging FX derivative positions is US$2.9 million (positive). As of December 31, 2023, the market value of the hedging FX derivative positions was US$ 1.5 million (negative). As of March 31, 2024, the Company has current hedging FX derivatives for US$160 million. . As of December 31, 2023, the Company holds current hedging FX derivatives of US$414 million.

 

Sensitivity analysis:

 

A depreciation of the R$/US$ exchange rate, negatively affects the Company’s operating cash flows, however, also positively affects the value of the positions of derivatives contracted.

 

The following table shows the sensitivity of current hedging FX derivative instruments according to reasonable changes in the exchange rate and its effect on equity.

 

Appreciation (depreciation)   Effect on equity as of
March 31, 2024
   Effect on equity as of

Impact of Exchange rate variation in the Consolidated Income Statements (Foreign exchange gains/losses).

 

In the case of TAM S.A., whose functional currency is the Brazilian real, a large part of its liabilities is expressed in US dollars. Therefore, when converting financial assets and liabilities, from US dollar to Brazilian reais, they have an impact on the result of TAM S.A., which is consolidated in the Company’s Income Statement.

 

In order to reduce the impact on the Company’s result caused by appreciations or depreciations of R$/US$, the Company carries out internal operations to reduce the net exposure in US$ for TAM S.A.

 

The following table shows the impact of the Exchange Rate variation on the Consolidated Income Statement when the R$/US$ exchange rate appreciates or depreciates by 10%:

 

Appreciation (depreciation)   Effect on Income Statement

Impact of the exchange rate variation in the Equity, from translate the subsidiaries financial statements into US Dollars (Cumulative Translate Adjustment).

 

Since the functional currency of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries is the Brazilian real, the Company presents the effects of the exchange rate fluctuations in Other comprehensive income (Cumulative Translation Adjustment) by converting the Statement of financial position and Income statement of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar, which is the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statement of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.

 

F-29

 

 

The following table shows the impact on the Cumulative Translation Adjustment included in Other comprehensive income recognized in Total equity in the case of an appreciation or depreciation of 10% in the exchange rate R$/US$:

+10%   -274.44   -267.56 

 

(iii)Interest -rate risk:

 

Exposure:

 

The Company has exposure to fluctuations in interest rates affecting the future cash flows of the assets, and current and future financial liabilities.

 

The Company is mainly exposed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and other less relevant interest rates such as Brazilian Interbank Certificates of Deposit (“CDI”) . Due to the fact that the publication of LIBOR ceased by June 30th 2023, the company has effectively migrated to SOFR as an alternative rate, which was fully materialized on September 30th 2023.

 

Of the company’s financial debt subject to variable rates, all of the contracts maintain exposure to the SOFR reference rate.

 

Mitigation:

 

Currently, 50% (50% as of December 31, 2023) of the debt has fixed rate. The variable debt is indexed to the reference rate based on SOFR.

 

Likewise, most of the company’s liquidity is denominated in dollars and indexed to a return rate similar and with alike fluctuation to the SOFR rate, which helps reduce exposure.

 

Rate Hedging Results:

 

During the period ended March 31, 2024, the Company did not recognized any losses for premiums paid. As of March 31, 2023, losses of US$1.3 million (negative) were recognized corresponding to the recognition in profit for premiums paid.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has no interest rate derivatives outstanding, at the end of December 2023 the Company did not have interest rate derivatives outstanding.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize a decrease in the right-of-use asset due to the expiration of derivatives associated with some aircraft leases. On this same date, a lower depreciation expense of the right-of-use asset for US$ 0.5 million (positive) is recognized. At the end of December 2023, the Company recognized US$ 0.2 million for this same concept.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company did not settle any derivatives associated with hedges of leased aircraft.

 

Sensitivity analysis:

 

The following table shows the sensitivity of changes in financial obligations that are not hedged against interest-rate variations. These changes are considered reasonably possible, based on current market conditions each date.

 

Increase (decrease)   Positions as of March 31, 2024
effect on Income
   Positions as of December 31, 2023

    Unaudited   Unaudited 
+100 basis points   -19.99   -20.27 
-100 basis points   +19.99   +20.27 

 

F-30

 

 

A large part of the derivatives of current rates are recorded as cash flow hedge contracts, therefore, a variation in interest rates has an impact on the market value of the derivatives, whose changes affect the equity of the entity.

 

The calculations were made by vertically increasing (decreasing) 100 base points of the interest rate curve, both scenarios being reasonably possible according to historical market conditions.

 

The sensitivity calculation hypothesis must assume that the forward curves of interest rates will not necessarily reflect the real value of the compensation of the flows. In addition, the interest rate structure is dynamic over time.

 

During the periods presented, the Company did not record any losses for ineffectiveness in the consolidated income statement for this type of coverage.

 

(b)Credit risk

 

Credit risk occurs when the counterparty does not comply with its obligations to the Company under a specific contract or financial instrument, resulting in a loss in the market value of a financial instrument (only financial assets, not liabilities). The customer portfolio as of March 31, 2024 has experienced an increased by 6% compared to the balance as of December 31, 2023, mainly due to an increase in passenger transportation operations (travel agencies and corporate) that increased by 20% in its sales, mainly affecting the payment methods credit card 23%, and cash sales 15%. In relation to the cargo business, it presented a decrease in its operations of 7% compared to December 2023. There was special consideration for the Expected Credit Loss calculation for the clients with balance at the year end that management considered risky. The Expected Credit Loss at the end of March 2024 had a decrease 8% compared to the end of December 2023, as a result of the decrease in the portfolio due to collection, and due to the application of write-offs.

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operational activities and its financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other types of instruments, exchange rate transactions and derivatives contracts.

 

To reduce the credit risk related to operational activities, the company has implemented credit limits to limit the exposure of its debtors, which are permanently monitored for the LATAM network, when deemed necessary, agencies have been blocked for cargo and passenger businesses.

 

(i)Financial activities

 

Cash surpluses that remain after the financing of assets necessary for the operation are invested according to credit limits approved by the Company’s Board, mainly in time deposits with different financial institutions, private investment funds and short-term mutual funds. These investments are booked as Cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets.

 

In order to reduce counterparty risk and to ensure that the risk assumed is known and managed by the Company, investments are diversified among different banking institutions (both local and international). The Company evaluates the credit standing of each counterparty and the levels of investment, based on (i) its credit rating, and (ii) investment limits according to the Company’s level of liquidity. According to these two parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous two and based on this, establishes limits for operations with each counterparty.

 

The Company has no guarantees to mitigate this exposure.

 

(ii)Operational activities

 

The Company has four large sales “clusters”: travel agencies, cargo agents, airlines and credit-card administrators. The first three are governed by International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), international organization comprising most of the airlines that represent over 90% of scheduled commercial traffic and one of its main objectives is to regulate the financial transactions between airlines and travel agents and cargo. When an agency or airline does not pay their debt, it is excluded from operating with IATA’s member airlines. In the case of credit-card administrators, they are fully guaranteed by 100% by the issuing institutions.

 

F-31

 

 

Under certain of the Company’s credit card processing agreements, the financial institutions have the right to require that the Company maintain a reserve equal to a portion of advance ticket sales that have been processed by that financial institution, but for which the Company has not yet provided the air transportation. Additionally, the financial institutions have the ability to require additional collateral reserves or withhold payments related to receivables to be collected if increased risk is perceived related to liquidity covenants in these agreements or negative balances occur.

 

The exposure consists of the term granted, which fluctuates between 1 and 45 days.

 

One of the tools the Company uses for reducing credit risk is to participate in global entities related to the industry, such as IATA, Business Sales Processing (“BSP”), Cargo Account Settlement Systems (“CASS”), IATA Clearing House (“ICH”) and banks (credit cards). These institutions fulfill the role of collectors and distributors between airlines and travel and cargo agencies. In the case of the Clearing House, it acts as an offsetting entity between airlines for the services provided between them. A reduction in term and implementation of guarantees has been achieved through these entities.

 

The sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aereas S.A.

 

Credit quality of financial assets

 

The external credit evaluation system used by the Company is provided by IATA. Internal systems are also used for particular evaluations or specific markets based on trade reports available on the local market. The internal classification system is complementary to the external one, i.e. for agencies or airlines not members of IATA, the internal demands are greater.

 

To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to mitigate the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of operational activities of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. with travel agents). The bad-debt rate in the principal countries where the Company has a presence is insignificant.

 

(c)Liquidity risk

 

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company does not have sufficient funds to pay its obligations.

 

Due to the cyclical nature of its business, the operation and investment needs, along with the need for financing, the Company requires liquid funds, defined as Cash and cash equivalents plus other short-term financial assets, to meet its payment obligations.

 

The balance of liquid funds, future cash generation and the ability to obtain financing, provide the Company with alternatives to meet future investment and financing commitments.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the balance of liquid funds is US$1,851 million ((US$ 1,715 million as of December 31, 2023), which are invested in short-term instruments through financial entities with a high credit rating classification.

 

As of March 31, 2024, LATAM maintains two Revolving Credit Facility for a total of US$1,100 million, one for an amount of US$600 million and another for an amount of US$500 million, which are fully available. The first of these lines is secured by and subject to the availability of certain collateral (i.e. aircraft, engines and spare parts). The second one, is secured by certain intangibles assets of the Company, which are shared with other Chapter 11 exit financing debt.

The Company has fuel, interest rate and exchange rate hedging strategies involving derivatives contracts with different financial institutions.

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company maintains guarantees for US$6.6 million corresponding to derivative transactions. The decrease is due to: i) Increase in the number of hedging contracts and ii) changes in fuel prices, exchange rates and interest rates. At the end of 2023, the Company had guarantees for US $ 11 million corresponding to derivative transactions.

 

3.2.Capital risk management

 

The objectives of the Company, in relation to capital management are: (i) to meet the minimum equity requirements and (ii) to maintain an optimal capital structure.

 

The Company monitors contractual obligations and regulatory requirements in the different countries where the group’s companies are domiciled to ensure faithful compliance with the minimum equity requirement, the most restrictive limit of which is to maintain positive liquid equity.

 

Additionally, the Company periodically monitors the short and long term cash flow projections to ensure that it has sufficient cash generation alternatives to meet future investment and financing commitments.

 

The Company’s international credit rating is the result of its ability to meet its long-term financial commitments. As of March 31, 2024, The Company has a national scale rating of BBB with stable outlook by Fitch, a rating of BBB with stable outlook by ICR and a rating of BBB- with stable outlook by Feller. On an international scale, it has a rating of B+ with a positive outlook by Standard & Poor’s and a rating of B1 with a stable outlook by Moody’s.

 

3.3.Estimates of fair value.

 

At March 31, 2024, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at fair value. These are grouped into two categories:

 

1.Derivative financial instruments:

 

This category includes the following instruments:

 

-Fuel derivative contracts,

 

-Currency derivative contracts.

 

2.Financial Investments:

 

This category includes the following instruments:

 

-Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent).

 

The Company has classified the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of information used in the assessment. This hierarchy consists of 3 levels (I) fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (II) fair value calculated through valuation methods based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) and (III) fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

 

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as investments acquired for trading, is based on quoted market prices at the close of the period using the current price of the buyer. The fair value of financial assets not traded in active markets (derivative contracts) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize use of available market information. Valuation techniques generally used by the Company are quoted market prices of similar instruments and / or estimating the present value of future cash flows using forward price curves of the market at period end.

The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value, depending on the level of information used in the assessment:

The book values of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature. In the case of cash on hand, bank balances, overnight, time deposits and accounts payable, non-current, fair value approximates their carrying values.

 

The fair value of other financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate for similar financial instruments (Level II). In the case of Other financial assets, the valuation was performed according to market prices at period end. The book value of Other financial liabilities, current or non-current, do not include lease liabilities.

 

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

 

The Company has used estimates to value and record some of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and commitments. Basically, these estimates refer to:

 

(a)Impairment of Intangible asset with indefinite useful life

 

Management conducts an impairment test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount.

 

Management’s value-in-use calculations included significant judgments and assumptions relating to revenue growth rates, exchange rates, discount rates, inflation rates, fuel price. The estimation of these assumptions requires significant judgment by management as these variables are inherently uncertain; however, the assumptions used are consistent with the Company’s forecasts approved by management. Therefore, management evaluates and updates the estimates as necessary in light of conditions that affect these variables. The main assumptions used as well as the corresponding sensitivity analyses are shown in Note 15.

 

F-39

 

 

(b)Depreciation expense and impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment

 

The depreciation of assets is calculated based on a straight-line basis, except for certain technical components depreciated on cycles and hours flown. These useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis according to the Company’s future economic benefits associated with them.

 

Changes in circumstances such as: technological advances, business model, planned use of assets or capital strategy may result in a useful life different from what has been estimated. When it is determined that the useful life of property, plant, and equipment must be reduced, as may occur in line with changes in planned usage of assets, the difference between the net book value and estimated recoverable value is depreciated, in accordance with the revised remaining useful life.

 

The residual values are estimated according to the market value that the assets will have at the end of their life. The residual value and useful life of the assets are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, once a year. When the value of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount.

 

The Company has concluded that the Properties, Plant and Equipment cannot generate cash inflows to a large extent independent of other assets, therefore the impairment assessment is made as an integral part of the only Cash Generating Unit maintained by the Company, Air Transport. The Company checks when there are signs of impairment, whether the assets have suffered any impairment losses at the Cash Generated Unit level.

 

(c)Recoverability of deferred tax assets

 

Management records deferred taxes on the temporary differences that arise between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets on tax losses are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future tax benefits will be available to offset temporary differences.

 

The Company applies significant judgment in evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets. In determining the amounts of the deferred tax asset to be accounted for, management considers tax planning strategies, historical profitability, projected future taxable income (considering assumptions such as: growth rate, exchange rate, discount rate and fuel price consistent with those used in the impairment analysis of the group's cash-generating unit) and the expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences.

 

(d)Air tickets sold that will not be finally used.

 

The Company records the sale of air tickets as deferred revenue. Ordinary revenue from the sale of tickets is recognized in the statement of income when the passenger transportation service is provided or expires due to non-use. The Company evaluates the probability of expiration of air tickets on a monthly basis, based on the history of use. A change in this probability could impact revenue in the year in which the change occurs and in future years.

 

As of March 31, 2024, deferred revenues associated with air tickets sold amount to ThUS$1,837,179 (ThUS$2,009,242 as of December 31, 2023). A hypothetical change of one percentage point in the probability of expiration of up to ThUS$9,792 per month (ThUS$10,150 as of December 31, 2023).

 

(e)Valuation of the miles and points awarded to the holders of the loyalty programs, pending use.

 

As of March 31, 2024, deferred revenue associated with the LATAM Pass loyalty program from Spanish-speaking countries increased to ThUS $1,058,870 (ThUS$1,099,580 as of December 31, 2023). An hypothetical change of one percentage point in the probability of redemption would translate into a cumulative impact of ThUS$31,965 on the results of 2024 (ThUS$as of March 31, 2023). Deferred revenue associated with the LATAM Pass Brazil loyalty program increased to ThUS$202,806 as of March 31, 2024 (ThUS$179,151 as of December 31, 2023). An hypothetical change of one percentage point in the exchange probability would result in an accumulated impact of ThUS$4,998 on the results of 2023 (ThUS$3,728 as of March 31, 2023).

 

The company, in conjunction with an external consultant, estimates the probability of non-use based on a predictive model, according to the redemption behaviors and validity of miles and points using significant judgments and critical assumptions which consider the historical use activity and the expected use pattern.

(f)Legal Contingencies

 

In the case of known contingencies, the Company records a provision when it has a present obligation, whether legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events, the likelihood of loss being incurred and when determining whether a reliable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies based upon the best information available, uses the knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of the known risks. This process facilitates the early assessment and quantification of potential risks in individual cases or in the development of contingent matters. If we are unable to reliably estimate the obligation or conclude no loss is probable but it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred, no provision is recorded but the contingency is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

 

Company recognized as the present obligation under an onerous contract as a provision when a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.

 

(g)Leases

 

In year 2022, as a result of the arrival of new aircraft and the significant change in the flows of many current contracts, the Company evaluated the relevance in the current scenario of continuing to use the implicit rate, a methodology used in recent years, or whether it should in instead use a different approximation for calculating the rate. It was concluded that the implicit rate was not being able to reflect the economic environment in which the company operates, therefore it was not accurately representing the Company's indebtedness conditions. Because of this, all new contracts entered into from 2022 and all contracts that were modified from 2022 used the incremental rate. Existing contracts that remained unchanged continued using the original implicit discount rate.

 

(i)Discount rate

 

To determine the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the implicit rate in the contracts when it is easily determinable. Otherwise, it uses the lessee's estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from the information available at the lease commencement date. We consider our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. A one percentage point decrease in our estimate of the rates used in determining the current lease liabilities for the registered fleet as of March 31, 2024, would increase the lease liability by approximately US$116 million (US$111 million as of December 31, 2023).

 

(ii)Lease term

 

In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option are considered. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the lease will be extended (or not terminated). This is reviewed if a significant event or significant change in circumstances occurs that affects this assessment and is within the lessee's control.

 

In any case, it is possible that events that may take place in the future make it necessary to modify them in future periods, which would be done prospectively.

 

NOTE 5 - SEGMENT INFORMATION

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company considers that it has a single operating segment, Air Transport. This segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and is based on the way in which the business is managed, according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to open and close routes, as well as reassignment (airplanes, crew, personnel, etc.) within the network, which implies a functional interrelation between all of them, making them inseparable. This segment definition is one of the most common in the worldwide airline industry.

The Company allocates revenues by geographic area based on the point of sale of the passenger ticket or cargo. Assets are composed primarily of aircraft and aeronautical equipment, which are used throughout the different countries, so it is not possible to assign a geographic area.

 

The Company has no customers that individually represent more than 10% of sales.

Once pre-judicial and judicial collection efforts are exhausted, the assets are written off against the allowance. The Company only uses the allowance method rather than direct write-off, to ensure control.

 

The historical and current renegotiations are not significant, and the policy is to analyze case by case to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining they need to be reclassified to pre-judicial collection accounts.

 

The maximum credit-risk exposure at the date of presentation of the information is the fair value of each one of the categories of accounts receivable indicated above.

b)Impairment Test Intangible Assets with an indefinite useful life

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company maintains only the CGU “Air Transport”.

 

The CGU “Air transport” considers the transport of passengers and cargo, both in the domestic markets of Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil, as well as in a series of regional and international routes in America, Europe, Africa and Oceania.

 

As of March 31, 2024, no indications of impairment have been identified for the Air Transport CGU, which require a new impairment test to be carried out.

 

As of December 31, 2023, in accordance with the accounting policy, the Company performed the annual impairment test.

 

The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined based on calculations of the value in use. These calculations use projections of 5 years of cash flows after taxes from the financial budgets approved by management. Cash flows beyond the budgeted period are extrapolated using growth rates and estimated average volumes, which do not exceed long-term average growth rates.

 

Management’s cash flow projections included significant judgements and assumptions related to annual revenue growth rates, discount rate, inflation rates, the exchange rate and the price of fuel. The annual revenue growth rate is based on past performance and management’s expectations of market development in each of the countries in which it operates. The discount rates used for the CGU “Air transport” are determined in US dollars, after taxes, and reflect specific risks related to the relevant countries of each of the operations. Inflation rates and exchange rates are based on the data available from the countries and the information provided by the Central Banks of the various countries where it operates, and the price of fuel is determined based on estimated levels of production, the competitive environment of the market in which they operate and their commercial strategy.

 

The recoverable values were determined using the following assumptions:

 

      CGU 
      Air transport 
Annual growth rate (Terminal)  %  0.0 – 4.3 
Exchange rate  R$/US$  5.28 – 5.57 
Discount rate based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)  %  8.7 – 10.7 
Fuel Price  US$/barrel  100 

  

The result of the impairment test, which includes a sensitivity analysis of its main variables, showed that the recoverable amount exceeded the book value of the cash-generating unit, and therefore no impairment was identified.

 

The CGU is sensitive to annual growth rates, discounts and exchange rates and fuel price. The sensitivity analysis included the individual impact of changes in critical estimates in determining recoverable amounts, namely:

 

   Increase
WACC
Maximum
   Decrease rate
Terminal
growth
Minimal
   Increase
fuel price
Maximum
US$/barrel
 
   %   %     
Air Transportation CGU   10.7    0    100 

 

In none of the above scenarios an impairment of the cash-generating unit was identified.

NOTE 17 - CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES

 

In the year ended March 31, 2024, the income tax provision was calculated and recorded, applying the semi-integrated tax system and a rate of 27%, based on the provisions of the Law. No. 21,210, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Chile, dated February 24, 2020, which updates the Tax Legislation.

 

The net result for deferred tax corresponds to the variation of the period, of the assets and liabilities for deferred taxes generated by temporary differences and tax losses.

 

For the permanent differences that give rise to a book value of assets and liabilities other than their tax value, no deferred tax has been recorded since they are caused by transactions that are recorded in the financial statements and that will have no effect on income tax expense.

The main assumptions used in the calculation of the provision in Chile are presented below:

 

   For the period ended
At March 31,
 
Assumptions  2024   2023 
   Unaudited 
Discount rate   5.85%   5.37%
Expected rate of salary increase   3.00%   3.00%
Rate of turnover   2.96%   5.02%
Mortality rate   RV-2020    RV-2014 
Inflation rate   3.23%   3.46%
Retirement age of women   60    60 
Retirement age of men   65    65 

  

The discount rate is based on the bonds issued by the Central Bank of Chile with a maturity of 20 years. The RV-2020 and RV-2014 mortality tables correspond to those established by the Commission for the Financial Market of Chile. The inflation rates are based on the yield curves of the long term nominal and inflation adjusted bonds based on BCU and BCPs issued by the Central Bank of Chile.

 

The calculation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation is sensitive to the variation of some actuarial assumptions such as discount rate, salary increase, rotation and inflation.

(c)CIP (Corporate Incentive Plan)

 

With the aim of incentivizing the retention of talent among the executives of the Company and in response to the exit of the Chapter 11 Procedure, it was agreed to grant an extraordinary and exceptional incentive called Corporate Incentive Plan (hereinafter also “CIP”), which will be enforceable and paid subject to compliance with the terms, clauses and conditions approved at the Board meeting dated April 25, 2023. In summary, the CIP contemplates three categories oriented to three different groups or categories of employees, whether they are hired by the Company directly, or in other companies of the LATAM group. These categories are as follows: Non-Executive Employees;

 

Executives Not part of the Global Executive Meeting o “GEM”; and GEM Executives. Employees in each of these groups are only eligible for the CIP that corresponds to their respective category. The terms of each of these CIP categories were communicated to the respective employees between the months of January to December 2023.

 

Below are more background on each of the different categories of the CIP. Additionally, in Note 33 describes in more detail the main terms and conditions of the last two categories of the CIP (i.e., Non-GEM Executives; and GEM Executives):

 

i)Non-Executive Employees: The first subprogram was aimed at non-executive employees who, while hired in LATAM as of December 31, 2020, were still in their position as of April 30, 2023, which includes a fixed and guaranteed payment in cash on certain dates, depending on the country where the employee is hired.

 

This subprogram is available to those employees who were unable to qualify for one of the two categories below, or who were able to do so, chose not to participate in them.

 

F-80

 

 

ii)Executives Not part of the GEM: The second subprogram applies to senior executives not part of the GEM (Global Executive Meeting – Senior Managers, Managers, Assistant Managers). This program contemplates the creation of remuneration synthetic Units (hereinafter, simply “Units”) that, by reference, are considered as equivalent to the price of one share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., and consequently, in case they become effective, they grant the worker the right to receive the payment in cash that results from multiplying the number of Units that become effective by the value per share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. that should be considered in accordance with CIP.

 

In this context, this program contemplates two different bonuses: (1) a withholding bonus, consisting of the amount in cash resulting from Units that are assigned to the respective employee, these Units being paid at 20% at month 15 and 80% at month 24, in each case, counted from the exit date of Chapter 11 Procedure (i.e., November 3, 2022) (the “Exit Date”). This is consequently a guaranteed payment for these employees; and (2) a bonus associated with the certain financial indicators of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its subsidiaries, which is reflected in Note 19 (b), becoming effective 20% at month 15 and 80% at month 24, in each case, from the Exit Date. Consequently, this is an eventual payment that is only made if these indicators are reached.

 

iii)GEM Executives: The third subprogram applies to the Company´s GEM executives (Global Executive Meeting) (CEO and employees whose job description is “vice presidents” or “directors”). This program, in essence, contemplates the creation of remuneration synthetic Units that, by referential means, are considered as equivalent to the price of one share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and consequently, in case they become effective, they grant the worker the right to receive the payment in cash that results from multiplying the number of Units that become effective by the value per share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. that must be considered according to the CIP.

 

These Units are divided into:

 

(1) Units associated with the employee’s permanence in the Company (“RSUs” – Retention Shares Units); and (2) Units associated with both the employee’s permanence in the Company and the performance of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (“PSUs” – Performance Shares Units). This performance is ultimately measured according to the share price of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. in the terms and conditions of the CIP.

 

Both the RSUs and the PSUs are consequently associated with the passage of time, becoming effective by partialities according to the calendar contemplated by the CIP. For the case of RSUs, having a vesting guaranteed by partialities as explained in more detail in Note 33. On the other hand, the PSUs also consider the market value of the share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. considering a liquid market. However, as long as there is no such liquid market, the share price will be determined on the basis of representative transactions. As explained in more detail in Note 33, PSUs constitute a contingent and non-guaranteed payment.

 

In addition, some GEM Executives will also be entitled to receive a fixed and guaranteed cash payment (“MPP” – Management Protection Plan) on certain dates according to the CIP. Those employees who are eligible for this MPP will also be eligible for a limited number of additional MSUs (“MPP Based RSUs”).

 

In all cases, the respective employees must have remained as such in the Company at the corresponding accrual date to qualify for these benefits.

 

During the year of 2024 until the month of March, the amount accrued related to this CIP was MUS$ 20.71, which is recorded in the “Administrative expenses” line of the Consolidated Statement of Income by Function. As of March 31, 2024, the amount of this plan recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position is MUS$ 131.28.

At the Company’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 20, 2023, it was agreed to:

 

i)  A decrease in the Company’s capital for an amount of ThUS$7,501,896, without altering the number and characteristics of the shares into which it is divided, by absorbing the Company’s accumulated losses as of December 31, 2022 for the same amount;

 

ii)  Others decrease of the Company’s capital for an amount of ThUS$178, without altering the number and characteristics of the shares into which it is divided, through the absorption of the equity account of “Treasury Shares” as of December 31, 2022 for the same amount, produced on the occasion of the January 2013 reduction of capital stock by operation of law that took place in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 of the Corporations Law.

 

iii) Deduction of the Company´s capital the account “Costs of issuing shares and new convertible notes, for an amount of ThUS$810,279.

 

On September 6, 2023, by public deed granted at the Notary of Santiago of Mr. Eduardo Diez Morello, under repertoire number 15,327-2023 entitled “Declaración de Colocación y Vencimiento Plazo de Colocación Bonos Convertibles “Series G”, “Series H” and “Series I” and Reducción de Capital de Pleno Derecho”, it was realized that on September 5, 2023 the maturity of the placement term (the “Placement Term”) of Convertible Notes issued on the occasion of the capital increase agreed at the Company’s Extraordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on July 5, 2022. Consequently, in accordance with the mentioned in number Four of Clause Six of the respective notes issuance contract (the “Issuance Agreement”), as of that date the amount placed against it remained unchanged, and consequently the Convertible Notes not placed on that date were null and void. For the sake of completeness, it was declared that upon maturity of the Placement Term, 123,605,720 Series G Convertible Notes and 37 Series I Convertible Notes (collectively, the “Unplaced Convertible Notes”) remained unplaced, for an amount of US$ 123,605,720 and US$37, respectively (hereinafter, together, the “Unplaced Amount”). The conversion option of the Unplaced Convertible Notes was backed by 1,965,903,665 shares as equity.

 

Likewise, in the aforementioned deed it was realized that since all the Unplaced Convertible Bonds have been terminated, since they have been null and void, they cannot be converted into shares of the issuer, consequently reducing the Company’s Capital Share by an amount equal to the Unplaced Amount.

 

Therefore, as of September 6, 2023, the amount of the Share Capital was reduced by law in the amount of ThUS$123,606, equivalent to 1,965,903,665 shares. As of that date, the total statutory share capital of the Company was reduced by law from the amount of ThUS$5,127,182, divided into 606,407,693,000 shares, of the same and unique series, without par value, to the amount of ThUS$5,003,576, divided into 604,441,789,335 shares, of which MUS$ 5,003,534, equivalent to 604,437,877,587 shares, are fully paid. To date, the balance of MUS$42, equivalent to 3,911,748 shares, are pending of subscription and payment and are intended exclusively to respond to the conversion of 42,398 Series H Convertible Notes.

(e)Other equity- Value of conversion right - Convertible Notes

 

(e.1)Notes subscription

 

The Convertible Notes were issued to be place in exchange for a cash contribution, in exchange for settlement of Chapter 11 Proceeding or a combination of both. Convertible Notes issued in exchange for cash were valued at fair value (the cash received). Notes issued in exchange for settlement of Chapter 11 claims were valued considering the discount that each group of liabilities settled on at the emergence date. The table below shows the 3 Convertible Notes at their nominal values, the adjustment, if any, to arrive at their fair values and the amount of transaction costs. The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. The equity portion is recognized under Other equity at the time the Convertible Notes are issued.

Equity component at the date of issue   3,000            3,000 

 

During the period ended March 31, 2024, there was no subscription of convertible bonds.

 

(e.2)Conversion of notes into shares

 

As of December 31, 2023, the following notes have been converted into shares:

 

   As of December 31, 2023 
   Convertible   Convertible   Convertible   Total Convertible 
Concepts  Notes G   Notes H   Notes I   Notes

Conversion option of convertible notes exercised   1,133,397    1,372,798    6,863,427    9,369,622 
Total Converted Notes   1,133,397    1,372,798    6,863,427    9,369,622 

 

As of March 31, 2024, no bonds have been converted into shares.

 

The conversion option from the issuance of convertible notes classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument (i.e. convertible notes) as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to share capital. To the date of issuance of these financial statements, the portion not converted into equity corresponds to ThUS$39.

 

(e.3)The Convertible Notes

 

The contractual conditions of the G, H and I Convertible Notes consider the delivery of a fixed number of shares of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. at the time of settlement of the conversion option of each of them. The foregoing determined the classification of convertible notes as equity instruments, with the exception of Bond H, which considers, in addition to the delivery of a fixed number of shares, the payment of 1% annual interest with certain conditions for its payment and its accrual from 60 days after the exit Date. The payment of this interest gives rise to the recognition of a liability component for the class H convertible notes.

 

At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component in the amount of ThUS$102,031 was estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments.

 

Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability portion and amortized over the period of the convertible notes using the effective interest method.

(h.1)Cumulative translate difference

 

These are originated from exchange differences arising from the translation of any investment in foreign entities (or Chilean investments with a functional currency different to that of the parent), and from loans and other instruments in foreign currency designated as hedges for such investments. When the investment (all or part) is sold or disposed and a loss of control occurs, these reserves are shown in the consolidated statement of income as part of the loss or gain on the sale or disposal. If the sale does not involve loss of control, these reserves are transferred to non-controlling interests.

 

(h.2)Cash flow hedging reserve

 

These are originated from the fair value valuation at the end of each period of the outstanding derivative contracts that have been defined as cash flow hedges. When these contracts expire, these reserves should be adjusted, and the corresponding results recognized.

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. y Lan Cargo S.A.   Comisión Europea   -   Investigation of alleged infringements to free competition of cargo airlines, especially fuel surcharge. On December 26th, 2007, the General Directorate for Competition of the European Commission notified Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. the instruction process against twenty five cargo airlines, including Lan Cargo S.A., for alleged breaches of competition in the air cargo market in Europe, especially the alleged fixed fuel surcharge and freight.   On April 14th, 2008, the notification of the European Commission was replied. The appeal was filed on January 24, 2011. On May 11, 2015, we attended a hearing at which we petitioned for the vacation of the Decision based on discrepancies in the Decision between the operating section, which mentions four infringements (depending on the routes involved) but refers to Lan in only one of those four routes; and the ruling section (which mentions one single conjoint infraction). On November 9th, 2010, the General Directorate for Competition of the European Commission notified Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. the imposition of a fine in the amount of ThUS$8,838 (€8.220.000 Euros) This fine is being appealed by Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. On December 16, 2015, the European Court of Justice revoked the Commission’s decision because of discrepancies. The European Commission did not appeal the decision, but presented a new one on March 17, 2017 reiterating the imposition of the same fine on the eleven original airlines. The fine totals €776,465,000 Euros. It imposed the same fine as before on Lan Cargo and its parent, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., totaling €8.2 million Euros. On May 31, 2017 Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. filed a petition with the General Court of the European Union seeking vacation of this decision. We presented our defense in December 2017. On July 12, 2019, we attended a hearing before the European Court of Justice to confirm our petition for vacation of judgment or otherwise, a reduction in the amount of the fine. On March 30, 2022, the European Court issued its ruling and lowered the amount of our fine from KUS$8,838 (€8,220,000 Euros) to KUS$2,419 (€2,240,000 Euros). This ruling was appealed by LAN Cargo S.A. and LATAM on June 9, 2022. The other eleven airlines also appealed the ruling affecting them. The European Commission responded to our appeal of September 7, 2022. Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM answered the Commission’s arguments on November 11, 2022. Finally, the European Commission replied to our defense in January 2023. On February 13, 2023, LAN Cargo, S.A. and LATAM requested the European Court to hold an oral hearing to ensure the Court’s full understanding of some points of the discussion. The European Court held a hearing on April 10, 2024.   2,419

Latam- Airlines Ecuador S.A.  Tribunal Distrital de lo Fiscal  17509-2014-0088  An audit of the 2006 Income Tax Return that disallowed fuel expenses, fees and other items because the necessary support was  not provided, according to Management.  On August 6, 2018, the District Tax Claims Court rendered a decision denying the request for a refund of a mistaken payment. An appeal seeking vacation of this judgment by the Court was filed on September 5th and we are awaiting a decision by the Appellate judges. As of December 31, 2018, the attorneys believed that the probability of recovering this sum had fallen to 30%-40% because of the pressure being put by the Executive Branch on the National Court of Justice and the Judiciary in general for rulings not to affect government revenues and because the case involves differences that are based on insufficient documentation supporting the expense. Given the percentage loss (above 50%), the accounting write-off of this recovery has been carried out. As of this date, the Sala Especializada de lo Contencioso Tributario de la Corte Nacional de Justicia has decided by ruling not to accept the appeal, so the Company is analyzing whether to take additional actions or close the process. The company has decided not to continue with the lawsuit.  12,505

LATAM has hired specialist lawyers to undertake its defense.  On July 7, 2020 we were notified of the lawsuit. We filed our answer to the claim on August 21, 2020. A settlement was reached with AGRECU at that hearing that was approved by the Court on October 5, 2020. On October 7, 2020, the 25th Civil Court confirmed that the decision approving the settlement was final and binding. CONADECUS filed a brief on October 4, 2020 to become a party and oppose the agreement, which was dismissed on October 5, 2020. It petitioned for an official correction on October 8, 2020 and the annulment of all proceedings on October 22, 2020, which were dismissed, costs payable by CONADECUS, on November 16, 2020 and November 20, 2020, respectively. LATAM presented reports on the implementation of the agreement on May 19, 2021, November 19, 2021 and May 19, 2022, which concluded its obligation to report on that implementation. On December 28, 2022 the Civil Court ordered the filing of the file. The National Consumer and User Association (CONADECUS) filed appeals against these decisions with the Santiago Appellate Court that were joined under Case #14,213-2020. Arguments were made on March 8, 2023. In a decision on August 8, 2023, the Appellate Court dismissed the appeals by CONADECUS, costs included. On August 26, 2023, CONADECUS filed a petition based on technicalities and substance against the Appellate Court ruling in order to have it reversed by the Supreme Court. LATAM petitioned that such appeals be declared inadmissible in a brief filed September 13, 2023. On November 30, 2023, the Supreme Court declared CONADECUS’ petition inadmissible. On December 7, 2023, LATAM petitioned that the Appellate Court determine the costs of the procedure, which must be defrayed by CONADECUS. The procedural costs were set on December 19, 2023 and personal costs were decided on January 3, 2024. The costs of the trial court are currently pending, which were petitioned by LATAM on December 20, 2023. CONADECUS currently has no petitions against the settlement reached between LATAM and AGRECU.

  445-2022   On May 21, 2022, Agunsa filed a petition to TDLC for a preliminary preparatory measure of exhibition of documents in respect of Aerosan, Depocargo, Sociedad Concesionaria Nuevo Pudahuel and Fast Air in which Agunsa claimed that it was impacted by alleged anti-competition practices on the import cargo warehousing market at the Arturo Merino Benitez International Airport.   Fast Air was served on June 9, 2022 and on June 13, 2022, it lodged opposition against this petition, which was partially sustained by the Antitrust Court (TDLC) on July 19, 2022, in which the new exhibition date was set as August 22nd (the original date set by the court was July 1, 2022). On July 25, 2022, Fast Air requested a reconsideration of this latter court decision and petitioned that the temporary scope of the exhibition be reduced. Fast Air’s petition was sustained and the scope of the documents to be revealed was limited even further. On August 12th, Fast Air petitioned that a new date and time be set for the exhibition hearing. The court granted this latter request on August 17th and set the exhibition date as August 31st. Fast Air appeared with 368 files and asked for confidentiality and/or secrecy of all of the information presented. The public versions have already been added to the case file as final versions. Aerosan began a separate, but related, non-contentious inquiry on April 20, 2023 before the Anti-Trust Court (abbreviated as TDLC in Spanish) petitioning that the TDLC decide whether the enforcement of Exempt Resolution #152 of the National Customs Bureau would violate Decree Law 211. Said Resolution #152 granted Agunsa permission to operate as a cargo warehouse at the North Warehouse facility. On January 10, 2024, the Public Hearing of the case was held, which was in state of agreement. For the time being, the amount is indeterminate.   -0-

  NC-388-2011   On August 11, 2012, the Civil Aviation Administration (“JAC,” as abbreviated in Spanish) filed a petition for clarification with the Anti-Trust Court (“TDLC,” as abbreviated in Spanish) regarding Condition VIII.4 of Decision #37/2011 (“Condition VII.4”). The petition seeks to impose a temporary 5 years limitation on 23 frequencies assigned by the JAC to LATAM after Decision #37 was issued.   LATAM filed a brief with the TDLC on August 27, 2023, petitioning that the JAC petition for clarification be dismissed because it was an improper request to change Condition VIII.4. The TDLC dismissed the JAC’s petition for clarification on September 13, 2023. The JAC filed an appeal against the TDLC’s ruling dismissing its petition for clarification on September 23, 2023. LATAM petitioned that said appeal by the JAC be declared inadmissible on September 30, 2023. The TDLC declared it admissible (it admitted the appeal for processing) on October 2, 2023, and LATAM filed a remedy of reconsideration against that decision on October 7, 2023, accompanied by a legal opinion. The TDLC accepted LATAM’s remedy of reconsideration on October 17, 2023 and amended its previous ruling and dismissed the JAC’s petition for clarification. On October 23, 2023, the JAC presented an appeal to the Supreme Court requesting that the TDLC resolution be annulled and petitioned declared admissible the remedy of reconsideration. On November 3, 2023, LATAM became part of the de facto appeal and requested its rejection. On December 20, 2023, the TDLC sent a report to the Supreme Court. On January 6, 2024, the JAC presented a note in relation to the TDLC report. On January 9, 2024, LATAM presented a document in response to the JAC presentation in which it analyzed the TDLC report. The Supreme Court unanimously dismissed the appeal against judgment by the Civil Aviation Board on March 15, 2024. The Board filed a remedy of reconsideration on March 21, 2024 against the Supreme Court’s decision dismissing its appeal against judgment. LATAM filed a brief with the Supreme Court on March 26, 2024 petitioning the dismissal of that remedy of reconsideration. The Supreme Court dismissed the Board’s remedy of reconsideration on April 12, 2024. There are no appeals pending in this case.   -0-
                     
                In a separate but related process, JetSmart filed a non-contentious inquiry on September 26, 2023, in relation to the terms of the future public tender of aviation frequencies on the Santiago-Lima route. JetSmart requested an injunction to suspend the tender and maintain the aviation frequency assignments as currently held until the inquiry has finalized. The TDLC declared the inquiry admissible on October 2, 2023, but only to begin a procedure to determine whether the rules in the terms of the public aviation frequency tender violate Decree Law 211, and dismissed the request for provisional measures.

The JAC became a party to such motions on October 6, 2023 and LATAM became a party to the process on October 10, 2023, and it requested that the motions filed by JetSmart be dismissed. On October 16, 2023, the TDLC took into account the considerations presented by LATAM and rejected the two motions for reconsideration filed by JetSmart. On October 19, 2023 CONADECUS requested to become part of this process and requested the same injuction previously rejected twice by the TDLC. On October 23, 2023 LATAM submitted a brief to the TDLC requesting the rejection of saidinjuction now requested by CONADECUS. On October 23, 2023, a public auction was held by JAC for thirteen international frequencies for the Santiago - Lima route, LATAM won ten of thirteen of these routes. On October 24, 2023, JetSmart once again requested that an injunction be issued regarding the public tender of aviation frequencies on the Santiago-Lima route. On November 2, 2023, the TDLC rejected the request for injunctions submitted by JetSmart and CONADECUS. On December 5, 2023, JetSmart complied with TDLC procedural order and published in the Chilean official newspaper a notice calling interested parties and stakeholders to submit information and opinions regarding JetSmart’s inquiry . On December 21, 2023 the FNE requested to be an intervening party in the process and requested to extend the deadline to provide background information. The TDLC accepted the postponement, leaving the deadline for providing information as February 5, 2024. On February 1, 2024, LATAM submitted a brief to TDLC advocating for its position and providing background information regarding JetSmart’s inquiry. The Office of the National Economic Prosecutor (FNE), the JAC, the National Consumer Service (SERNAC), Sky Airline and CONADECUS also provided information in January and February 2024. The Civil Aviation Board submitted a petition for clarification to the Antitrust Court on February 13, 2024, asking whether a tender could be convened of international frequencies on the Santiago-Lima Route that expire in 2024. LATAM filed a brief on February 15, 2024 stating that no matter needed to be clarified and that the petition should be dismissed. The Antitrust Court ruled against the Civil Aviation Board on February 15, 2024 because there were no obscure or doubtful aspects to clarify.

NOTE 31 - COMMITMENTS

 

(a)Commitments arising from loans

 

In relation to certain contracts committed by the Company for the financing of the Boeing 777 aircraft, which are guaranteed by the Export – Import Bank of the United States of America, limits have been established for some financial indicators of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. on a consolidated basis. Under no circumstance does non-compliance with these limits generate loan acceleration.

 

The Company and its subsidiaries do not have credit agreements that impose limits on financial indicators of the Company or its subsidiaries, with the exception of those detailed below:

 

On October 12, 2022, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., acting through its Florida branch, closed a new four year revolving credit facility (“Exit RCF”) of US$ 500 million with a consortium of five banks led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. As of March 31, 2024, this credit facility is undrawn and fully available. In addition, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., together with Professional Airline Services, Inc., a Florida corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., issued (i) on October 12, 2022, as modified on November 3, 2022, a five-year term loan facility (“Term Loan B Facility”) of US$ 1,100 million (US$ 1,086 million outstanding as of March 31, 2024), (ii) on October 18, 2022, a 13.375% senior secured notes due 2027 (“2027 Notes”) for an aggregate principal amount of US$ 450 million and (iii) on October 18, 2022, a 13.375% senior secured notes due 2029 (“2029 Notes”, together with the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”) for and aggregate principal amount of MUS$ 700. The Exit RCF, the Term Loan B Facility and the Notes (together, the “Exit Financing”) share the same intangible collateral composed mainly of the FFP (LATAM Pass loyalty program) business receivables, Cargo business receivables, certain slots, gates and routes and LATAM’s intellectual property and brands. The Exit Financing contains certain covenants limiting us and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things, make certain types of restricted payments, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, enter into certain transactions with affiliates, engage in certain business activities or make certain investments. In addition, the agreements include a minimum liquidity restriction, requiring us to maintain a minimum liquidity, measured at the consolidated Company (LATAM Airlines Group S.A.) level, of US$ 750 million.

 

On November 3, 2022, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., acting through its Florida branch, amended and extended the 2016 revolving credit facility (“RCF”) with a consortium of thirteen financial institutions led by Citibank, N.A., guaranteed by aircraft, engines and spare parts for a total committed amount of US$ 600 million. The RCF includes restrictions of minimum liquidity measured at the consolidated Company level (with a minimum level of US$ 750 million) and measured individually for LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. (with a minimum level of US$ 400 million). Compliance with these restrictions is a prerequisite for drawing under the line; if the line is used, compliance with said restrictions must be reported periodically, and non-compliance with these restrictions may trigger an acceleration of the loan. As of March 31, 2024, this line of credit is undrawn and fully available.

 

On November 3, 2022, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., acting through its Florida branch, executed a five year credit facility (“Spare Engine Facility”) with, among others, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, acting through its New York branch, as facility agent and arranger and guaranteed by spare engines for a principal amount of US$ 275 million. As of March 31, 2024, the outstanding amount under the Spare Engine Facility is US $ 266.8 million. The facility includes restrictions of minimum liquidity measured at the consolidated Company level (with a minimum level of US$ 750 million) and measured individually for LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. (with a minimum level of US$ 400 million jointly).

 

As of March 31, 2024, the Company complies with the aforementioned minimum liquidity covenants.

(b)Compensation of key management

 

The Company has defined for these purposes that key management personnel are the executives who define the Company’s policies and macro guidelines and who directly affect the results of the business, considering the levels of Vice-Presidents, Chief Executives and Senior Directors.

In accordance with current legislation, the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 20, 2023, determined the amount of the annual remuneration for the Board for the period from that date until the next Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting scheduled to take place within the first quarter of 2024. In this context, in addition to the base remuneration, an additional remuneration was approved for each Board member, with an incremental amount based on the following criteria:

 

(a)During the first year following their appointment, until November 15, 2023, provided that the Director serves continuously in their position, each Director will be entitled to receive an additional amount to the base remuneration, equivalent to 9,226,234 units of remuneration or “URAs.”

 

(b)For the second year following their appointment, covering the period from the end of the first anniversary since their designation until November 15, 2024, under the same condition mentioned previously and approved by the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting in the first quarter of 2024, each Director will be entitled to receive another additional amount equivalent to 9,226,234 URAs.

 

(c)Likewise, each Director who becomes part of the Board Committee will also receive, as additional compensation, a variable amount equivalent to an additional one-third (1/3) calculated on the incremental remuneration that the respective Committee member is entitled to as a Director, in accordance with the resolution of the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.

 

For payment purposes, the value of each URA will be considered as referentially equivalent to the price of a company’s share. Consequently, URAs will be paid at the weighted average price of stock market transactions of the company’s shares during the 10 business days preceding the effective date (“Weighted Average Price”). For the calculation of the Weighted Average Price, transactions on national stock exchanges, as well as those on foreign exchanges recognized at the national level where LATAM’s American Depositary Shares may eventually be listed again, will be taken into account.

 

As of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, there are no amounts paid for URAs.

NOTE 33 - SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS

 

(a)LP3 compensation plans (2020-2023)

 

The Company implemented a program for a group of executives, which existed until March 2023, with a demand period between October 2020 and March 2023, where the collection percentage was annual and cumulative. The methodology is an estimate of the number of units, where a goal of the value of the action is set.

 

The benefit is vested if the target of the share price defined in each year is met. In case the benefit accumulates up to the last year the total benefit is doubled (in case the share price is achieved).

 

This Compensation Plan was finally not executed because the share price required for its collection is below the initial target.

 

(b) CIP (Corporate Incentive Plan)

 

As indicated in Note 22, in the context of the exit from Chapter 11 Proceedings, the Company implemented a talent retention program for the Company’s employees, which is divided into three categories. The first one (i.e., Non-Executive Employees) simply contemplates guaranteed payments in cash to the respective employees on certain dates depending on the country where the employee is hired. On the other hand, the remaining two categories (i.e., Non-GEM Executives and GEM Executives) contemplated the granting of synthetic units of remuneration (the “Units”) that, by reference, are considered as equivalent to the price of one share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and consequently, in case they become effective, grant the worker the right to receive the payment in cash that results from multiplying the number of Units that are pay for the value per share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. that must be considered in accordance with the CIP.

 

Below are more details of these two categories.

 

Non-GEM Executives

 

The first subprogram applies to senior executives not part of the GEM (Global Executive Meeting - Senior Managers, Managers, Deputy Managers). In this context, this program contemplates two different bonuses: (1) a retention bonus, consisting of the amount in money resulting from Units that are assigned to the respective employee and these Units being paid 20% on month 15 and 80% at month 24, in each case, counted from Exit date from the Chapter 11 Procedure (i.e., November 3, 2022) (the “Exit Date”). This is consequently, a guaranteed payment for these employees; and (2) a bonus associated to the performance defined on based on the compliance of certain financial indicators of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its subsidiaries, which is reflected in Note 19(b), becoming effective 20% at month 15 and 80% at month 24, in each case, from the Exit Date. Consequently, this is a temporary payment that is only made if these indicators are met.

 

GEM Executives

 

Applies to senior executives of the Company who are part of the GEM (CEO and employees whose job description is “vice presidents” or “directors”). Employees that participating in this program are eligible to receive cash payments for Units. These Units are as follows:

 

1. “RSUs” (Retention Shares Units): That is, Units associated with the employee’s permanence in the Company, and consequently, are associated with the passage of time. In its totality, the CIP contemplates up to 3,107,603,293 RSUs which are made effective by partialities in the terms indicated below.

 

As a general rule, RSUs will be eligible to become effective at the rate of one third on each of the following dates: month 24, month 36 and month 42, in each case, counted from the Exit Date. The mentioned above, subject to the occurrence of a trigger event related to the volume of transactions of securities issued by LATAM Airlines Group S.A. in the terms contemplated in the CIP (hereinafter, a “VTE” – Volume Triggering Event). The number of RSUs actually paid will be determined based on the net resources accumulated as a result of a VTE on the respective determination date (hereinafter, this adjustment will be referred to as the “Pro Rata Factor”).

 

F-127

 

 

Notwithstanding the mentioned above, the CIP also contemplates a “Minimum Guaranteed Vesting” according to which, the percentage of RSUs indicated below will be effective on each date indicated, even if a VTE has not occurred. The foregoing, net of the RSUs that may eventually have become effective previously.

 

Minimum Guaranteed Vesting of RSUs 
   Percentage of
Units that
become effective
 
Month 30 from Exit Date   20%
Month 42 from Exit Date   30%
Month 60 from Exit Date   50%

 

2. “PSUs” (Performance Shares Units): That is, Units associated with both the employee’s permanence in the Company and the performance of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. measured according to the share price. Consequently, like RSUs, these Units are associated with the passage of time. However, PSUs also consider the market value of the share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. considering a liquid market. However, as long as there is no such liquid market, the share price will be determined on the basis of representative transactions. In its totality, the CIP contemplates up to 4,251,780,158 PSUs which are made effective by partialities in the terms indicated below.

 

As a general rule, PSUs will be eligible to become effective at the rate of one third on each of the following dates: month 24, month 36 and month 42, in each case, counted from the Exit Date. The foregoing, subject to (i) a VTE having occurred; and (ii) that the quotient (hereinafter, the “Net Price/ERO (Equity Rights offering) Quotient”) between the net price of sales originating in a VTE, divided by the price of share at which the shares issued were placed under the capital increase agreed at the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. dated July 5, 2022 (that is, US$ 0.01083865799), is greater than 150%. The number of PSUs that actually becomes effective will be determined according to the Factor Pro Rata and the Quotient Net Price/ERO Price).

 

From the above it flows that the PSUs constitute an eventual and not guaranteed payment.

 

In addition, some of the GEM Executives will also be entitled to receive a fixed and guaranteed payment in cash (“MPP” – Management Protection Plan) on certain dates under the Plan, at the rate of 33% in the month 18, 34% in the month 24 and 33% in the 30th month, all from the Exit Date. On the other hand, those employees who are eligible for this MPP will also be eligible for a limited number of additional RSUs (“MPP Based RSUs”). In its totality, the CIP includes 1,438,926,658 MPP based RSUs. As a general rule, MPP Based RSUs will be eligible to become effective on the same terms and conditions as RSUs; however, that they will be eligible to become effective at a rate of one third on each of the following dates: month 18, month 24 and month 30, in each case, from the Exit Date. The valuation of these Units will be equivalent to the value of the Company’s share less the ERO Price at the time they become effective.

 

In all cases, the respective employees must have remained as such in the Company at the corresponding accrual date to qualify for these benefits.

 

Given the characteristics of this program, it has been recorded in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 2 “Share-based payments” and has been considered as a “cash settlement award” and, therefore, recorded at fair value as a liability that is part of the items Trade and other accounts payables and Provisions for employee benefits, non-current, which is updated at the closing date of each financial statement with effect on profit or loss for the period and classified in the line “Administrative expenses” of the interim Consolidated Statement of Income by function.

 

F-128

 

 

The fair value has been determined on the basis of the current share price and the best estimate of the future value of the Company’s share, multiplied by the number of underlying units granted. This estimate was made based on the Company’s Business Plan and its main indicators such as EBITDAR, adjusted net debt.

 

The movement of units as of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2024 , is as follows:

NOTE 35 - EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

On March 1, 2024, S&P upgraded LATAM’s corporate rating to B+ from B, with a positive outlook. Additionally, on April 12, 2024, Moody’s upgraded LATAM’s corporate rating to Ba3 (BB-) from B1 (B+) with a stable outlook. Lastly, on April 30th, Feller Rate upgraded its local rating from BBB- with a stable outlook, to BBB with a positive outlook. The above reflects the recognition of the company’s consistently stronger credit metrics and its sustained performance.

 

In a meeting held on April 3, 2024 by the Company’s Board of Directors approved to begin the process to open and relist the Company’s ADRs on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) (the “Relisting of the ADR Program”). This process entails various procedures and requirements before the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America and the NYSE.

 

Once the requirements referred to in the preceding paragraph have been met, and subject to the conditions set forth below, the Board of Directors will ultimately decide whether or not to approve and make effective the ADR Program Reliste. This decision will be taken: (i) once the consent is obtained from those who were the main creditors supporting the reorganization plan of the Company (the “Reorganization Plan”) that was approved and confirmed in its reorganization procedure under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America, and without which the Company would not have emerged from said reorganization procedure; and (ii) considering market conditions and the best interest of the Company.

SUMMARY FINANCIAL AND OTHER OPERATING INFORMATION

 

The summary consolidated interim financial information of LATAM Airlines Group S.A (which we refer to as “LATAM,” the “Company,” the “parent” or “we”) set forth below as of March 31, 2024, and for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, has been derived from our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and as of March 31, 2024, included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 6-K (which we refer to as the “unaudited interim consolidated financial statements”).

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as of and for the Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2024

 

Net Income

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a net profit of U.S.$260.0 million, of which U.S.$258.3 million is attributable to owners of the parent, which represents an increase in net income of U.S.$138.9 million and income attributable to owners of the parent of U.S.$136.5 million, respectively, compared to U.S.$121.1 million of net income and U.S.$121.8 million of net income attributable to owners of the parent, for the same period ended March 31, 2023. Our net income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was mainly explained by our strong performance during the industry’s high season in South America.

 

Revenue

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, total revenue increased 17.9% relative to the same period of the prior year, reaching U.S.$3,321.3 million. This was due to an increase of 21.0% in passenger revenues, which was partially offset by a decrease of 2.1% in cargo revenues compared to the same period in 2023.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, passenger revenue amounted to U.S.$2,897.8 million, a 21.0% increase compared to U.S.$2,394.4 million in passenger revenue recorded in the same period of the prior year. Our capacity increased by 17.5% compared to the same period in 2023, while RASK reached US$7.5 cents, reflecting an increase of 3.0% as compared with the first quarter of 2023. Such an increase was due in large part to general passenger demand, resilient corporate customer demand, and ongoing recovery of international air travel demand. Yields based on revenue passenger kilometers (“RPK”) decreased 1.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, cargo revenue was U.S.$369.4 million, 2.1% lower than the cargo revenue recorded in the same period of the prior year. This decrease is mainly explained by a 12.8% decrease in yields based on revenue tons kilometers (“RTK”). This decrease was partially offset by a 13.4% increase in capacity (measured by available ton kilometers (“ATK”)) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the same period of the prior year.

 

Cost of Sales

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our cost of sales increased by 10.4% compared to the same period of the prior year, to U.S.$2,393.9 million, mainly explained by the increase in passenger operations, and in particular by an increase in international operations, during the three-month period. The following table presents the breakdown by item, followed by the corresponding explanations below:

 

   Three months ended March 31, 
   2024   2023   2024   2023   2024/2023

   (in U.S.$ million)   (as a percentage of revenue)     
Revenue   3,267.2    2,771.6    100.0%   100.0%   17.9%
Cost of sales  (2,393.9)  (2,169.1)  (73.3)%  (78.3)%  10.4%
Aircraft fuel   (1,024.4)   (1,059.3)   (31.4)%   (38.2)%   (3.3)%
Other rentals and landing fees   (386.6)   (295.8)   (11.8)%   (10.7)%   30.7%

Depreciation and amortization   (306.3)   (253.0)   (9.4)%   (9.1)%   21.1%
Aircraft maintenance   (194.2)   (137.6)   (5.9)%   (5.0)%   41.1%
Passenger service   (76.1)   (63.1)   (2.3)%   (2.3)%   20.6%
Aircraft rentals expense(a)   (1.2)   (23.7)   (0.0)%   (0.9)%   (94.9)%
Other cost of sales   (76.3)   (57.6)   (2.3)%   (2.1)%   32.5%

 

 

(a)Aircraft rentals expense corresponds exclusively to LATAM group’s fleet PBH contracts. The aircraft rentals expense line item is used to account for the expenses associated with the group’s variable payments related to aircraft. During 2021, the Company amended its aircraft lease contracts to include lease payments based on PBH at the beginning of the contract and fixed-rent payments in future periods. For these contracts that contain an initial period based on PBH and then a fixed amount, a right of use asset and a lease liability were recognized at the date of modification of the contract. These amounts continue to be amortized over the contract term on a straight-line basis starting from the modification date of the contract. Therefore, as a result of the application of the lease accounting policy, the expenses for the year include both the lease expense for variable payments (Aircraft Rentals) as well as the expenses resulting from the amortization of the right of use assets (included in the Depreciation line) and interest from the lease liability (included in Lease Liabilities).

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, aircraft fuel expenses were U.S.$1,024.4 million, a 3.3%, or U.S.$34.9 million, decrease compared to U.S.$1,059.3 million in the same period in 2023. This decrease is mainly explained by a 15.1% decrease in average jet fuel price (excluding hedges), which was partially offset by a 17.5% growth in operations (as measured by ASKs). Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a U.S.$19.1 million gain from fuel hedges compared to a U.S.$0.8 million gain recorded during the same period in 2023.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other rentals and landing fees totaled U.S.$386.6 million, a 30.7%, or U.S.$90.8 million, increase compared to U.S.$295.8 million in the same period in 2023, mainly due to an increase in passenger operations.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, wages and benefits expense totaled U.S.$328.8 million, a 17.8%, or U.S.$49.8 million, increase compared to US.$279.0 million for the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly explained by higher costs of crews and airport personnel, along with a 10.1% rise in the average headcount of the group.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, depreciation and amortization reached U.S.$306.3 million, a 21.1%, or U.S.$53.3 million, increase compared to U.S.$253.0 million in the same period in 2023, mainly explained by an increase in the number of aircraft in our fleet during this period, including newer aircraft.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, aircraft maintenance totaled U.S.$194.2 million, a 41.1%, or U.S.$56.6 million, increase compared to U.S.$137.6 million in the same period in 2023. This increase is mainly explained by an increase in the number of aircraft in our fleet and the 17.5% growth in operations (as measured by ASKs).

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, passenger service totaled U.S.$76.1 million, a 20.6%, or U.S.$13.0 million, increase compared to U.S.$63.1 million in the same period in 2023, which is primarily explained by a 19.4% increase in the number of passengers carried during the period, mainly on international flights.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, aircraft rentals reached U.S.$1.2 million, a 94.9%, or U.S.$22.5 million, decrease compared to U.S.$23.7 million in the same period in 2023. This decrease is mainly explained by the expiration of almost all power-by-the-hour (“PBH”) contracts for aircraft, with only a few wide-body aircraft remaining under PBH. The aircraft rentals expense line item includes costs associated with lease payments based on PBH for contracts that have been modified to that structure. The aircraft rentals expense line item is used to account for the expenses associated with the group’s variable payments related to aircraft.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other cost of sales reached U.S.$76.3 million, a 32.5%, or U.S.$18.7 million, increase compared to U.S.$57.6 million in the same period in 2023, principally due to higher variable costs of crew, reservation systems and sales and advertising, due to an increase in operations in the period.

 

As a result of the above, gross margin (defined as total revenue minus cost of sales) as of March 31, 2024, totaled a gain of US$873.3 million, compared to a gain of US$602.6 million as of March 31, 2023.

Other Consolidated Results

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other income totaled US$54.0 million, a 60.1% increase compared to the same period in 2023. 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$8.0 million, and the increase in sales of ancillary services related to the LATAM Travel business.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, distribution costs totaled U.S.$158.3 million, a 30.4%, or U.S.$36.9 million, increase compared to the same period in 2023, mainly explained by the increase in passenger traffic and sales commissions.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, administrative expenses totaled U.S.$187.4 million, a 28.8%, or U.S.$41.9 million, increase compared to the same period in 2023, mainly due to the increase in headcount plus an increase in marketing expenses.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other expenses totaled U.S.$141.0 million, a 32.4%, or U.S.$34.5 million, increase compared to the same period in 2023, mainly as a result of an increase in IT maintenance expenses and higher costs related to contingencies.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest income totaled U.S.$31.4 million, a 75.5%, or U.S.$13.5 million, increase compared to the same period in 2023, mainly as a result of a higher level of cash and cash equivalents that were invested in fixed-term bank deposits and higher interest rates compared to the same period of 2023.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, interest expense totaled U.S.$191.4 million, a 16.6%, or U.S.$27.2 million, increase compared to the same period in 2023, mainly as a result of higher interest rates and the increase in the number of aircraft leases.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, foreign exchange gains totaled U.S.$39.6 million, a 127.6%, or U.S.$22.2 million, increase compared to the same period in 2023, mainly as a result of the appreciation of local currencies in the countries where we operate during the period.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, other losses amounted to U.S.$46.4 million, compared to a loss of U.S.$19.7 million in 2023, principally explained by increases in provisions relating to ongoing labor proceedings in Argentina during the period.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, income tax cost totaled U.S.$15.1 million, a 320.1%, or U.S.$8.2 million, increase compared to the same period in 2023, mainly as a result of higher income in the quarter and the limitation on the use of tax losses in some countries where we operate.

 

Liquidity and Cash Flow from Operating Activities

 

Additionally, by the end of the first quarter of 2024, we reported U.S.$1,851.4 million in cash and cash equivalents. In addition, as of March 31, 2024, we had U.S.$1.1 billion in available and undrawn revolving credit facilities.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we also registered positive net cash flow from operating activities of U.S.$458.1 million, compared to an inflow of U.S.$441.9 million during the same period of 2023.

 

As of March 31, 2024, we had consolidated fleet debt (operational leases and finance leases) of US$4.5 billion, as well as non-fleet financial debt of US$2.6 billion, resulting in total gross debt of US$7.1 billion.
