LATAM GROUP ANNOUNCES ANOTHER QUARTER OF STRONG PERFORMANCE, ACHIEVING US$301 MILLION OF NET INCOME AND 14.0% ADJ. OPERATING MARGIN

Santiago, Chile, November 6, 2024 – LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (NYSE: LTM; SSE: LTM) announced today its consolidated financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2024. “LATAM” or “the Company” makes reference to the consolidated entity, which includes its passenger and cargo affiliated airlines in Latin America. LATAM prepares its financial statements under IFRS as issued by the IASB, however, for ease of presentation and comparison, the Income Statement in this report is presented in an adapted US Format. On some occasions, adjustments to these Income Statement figures are made for Special Items. A table reconciling the figures adjusted for Special Items to their as-reported IFRS figures can be found at the end of the report. All figures in this report are expressed in U.S. dollars. Percentages and certain U.S. dollar, Chilean peso and Brazilian real amounts contained in this report have been rounded for ease of presentation. Any discrepancies in any table between totals and the sums of the amounts listed are due to rounding. The Brazilian real / U.S. dollar average exchange rate for the quarter was BRL 5.55 per USD.


HIGHLIGHTS

During the third quarter of 2024, LATAM group passenger operations grew by 15.1%, achieving total operating revenues of over US$3.3 billion, an increase of 7.6% compared to the same period of 2023. This led to a strong adjusted operating margin of 14.0% and a net income attributable to the owners of the parent company for the period of US$301 million. LATAM continued to strengthen its already robust capital structure by generating US$157 million in cash during the quarter. As a result, LATAM has achieved an adjusted net leverage ratio of 1.7x, and increased its liquidity position to approximately US$3.6 billion. The aforementioned results have led LATAM to improve its guidance for 2024.

During the third quarter 2024, consolidated capacity, measured by available seat-kilometers (ASK), increased by 15.1% when compared to the same quarter of 2023. The quarter reflected a strong load factor of 84.9%. Notably, international operations had solid year-over-year capacity growth of 22.4%, with a load factor of 86.1%.

Total operating revenues amounted to US$3,287 million during the third quarter (+7.6% vs 3Q23). This growth was primarily driven by a 6.3% increase in passenger revenues compared to the third quarter of last year. On the other hand, cargo revenues increased by 15.7% during the quarter and have shown year-over-year growth now for two consecutive quarters, marking an upward trajectory.

During this quarter, average jet fuel price (with hedges) decreased by 4.8%, which led to a 7.3% decrease in total adjusted CASK. A decrease also occurred in adjusted CASK ex-fuel, decreasing 7.8% to US$4.4 cents, and in adjusted passenger CASK ex-fuel, which was US$4.0 cents. Due to the foreign exchange variations including the devaluation of the Brazilian Real, these cost figures were positively impacted by approximately US$0.2 cents, although even excluding this impact, costs remained in line with the previous projected guidance for the full year. LATAM group continues to deliver on its cost containment strategy.

LATAM reported a strong adjusted EBITDAR of US$828 million for this quarter and an adjusted EBITDAR margin of 25.2%.

In the third quarter of 2024, net income attributable to the owners of the parent company amounted to US$301 million. With this, net income registered for the first nine month of the year totals US$705 million, an increase of 41.3% compared to the same period of 2023.

LATAM generated US$157 million in cash during the third quarter, and with this, the group ended the quarter with a liquidity position of US$3.6 billion, representing 27.6% of last twelve months revenues. It is worth noting that on July 15th, LATAM renewed and extended its two revolving credit facility lines from US$1.1 billion to a substantial US$1.55 billion, now maturing in 2029. This provides the company with enhanced financial flexibility and liquidity.

On October 1st, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. announced its successful debt refinancing which contemplated the issuance of secured notes in the international market for US$1.4 billion, at an annual interest rate of 7.875%, maturing in 2030. With the funds obtained from this issuance and the use of US$200 million in cash, on October 15th, LATAM prepaid the US$450 million note due in 2027 with an interest rate of 13.375%, as well as the Term

imagea.jpg




Loan B of US$1.081 billion due in 2027, with an interest rate of SOFR + 950 bps, equivalent to approximately 15%. Both the note and the Term Loan B were part of the Chapter 11 Process Exit Financing. In accounting terms, this refinancing will have a one-time impact on LATAM’s income statement of approximately US$134 million, of which US$45 million will be reflected in cash movements during the fourth quarter of this year.

LATAM also updated its 2024 full year guidance, with complete details published in a table toward the end of this earnings release. In terms of capacity (ASK), LATAM now expects growth between 15% and 16% compared to the previous year. Additionally, the group projects an adjusted passenger unit cost, excluding fuel, between US$4.2 and US$4.3 cents, lower than initially projected. LATAM also improved its forecast for adjusted EBITDAR to between US$3.0 billion and US$3.15 billion and anticipates an adjusted net leverage ratio of 1.6 to 1.7x by year-end, at the lower end of its previous guidance.


MANAGEMENT COMMENTS - THIRD QUARTER OF 2024

LATAM group continues to uphold its commitment to connecting South America and the broader region with the rest of the world. By consistently expanding its network and enhancing its services, LATAM group ensures that passengers have access to a wide array of destinations across the globe. Through strategic route development and a focus on customer satisfaction, the group remains dedicated to fostering its unique value proposition. LATAM group now serves a total of 149 passenger destinations in 26 countries and 164 cargo destinations in 31 countries.

During the third quarter of 2024, LATAM group transported 21.1 million passengers, an increase of 7.1% when compared to the same quarter of 2023. As of the last twelve months, the group has transported over 80.6 million passengers across its unparalleled network, a 13.6% increase versus the same period of the previous year. This makes LATAM group the tenth largest airline group worldwide based on seats and flights flown and the leading airline group in South America. This was accompanied by solid demand during the third quarter as witnessed by the stable consolidated load factor of 84.9%, driven by all business segments and especially the international segment.

The continuation of strong operational results from previous periods and consistent focus on cost containment have been the driving force behind the financial performance the group is highlighting this third quarter. These figures illustrate that the company is generating value and thoughtfully allocating capital, achieving US$705 million of net income attributable to the owners of the parent company year to date.

As part of its capital allocation orientation and efforts to significantly lower its financial expense, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. successfully refinanced both its US$450 million note due in 2027 and its US$1.081 billion Term Loan B, also due in 2027, which were part of the Chapter 11 Process Exit Financing. This refinancing will allow LATAM to reduce its cost of debt by securing a significantly lower interest rate compared to its existing debt, resulting in a reduction of nearly US$120 million in interest payments in 2025. Additionally, by utilizing US$200 million in cash, the group has further decreased its gross debt levels.

Finally, on October 22nd, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. rang the opening bell at the New York Stock Exchange, commemorating its recent return to the world’s leading stock market on July 24, 2024. LATAM first listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 1997 as LAN Chile and was the first Latin American airline to trade American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). This milestone would not have been attainable without the collective effort of over 38,000 LATAM group employees, whose dedication and commitment have propelled LATAM to its current status.

The CFO of LATAM Airlines Group, Ramiro Alfonsín, said that "this strong performance is the result of all of the work these last few years, which has enabled the group to achieve sustained and profitable growth. LATAM has managed to reduce its debt, has almost no financial maturities in the next four years, has liquidity of approximately US$3.6 billion and has also achieved, with much effort, a passenger CASK ex fuel of US$4.0 cents."

Following the opening bell ceremony, LATAM held its "Investor Day," where the central themes were its unique value proposition in the region and its plan for sustainable and profitable growth. The event, attended by investors and analysts, featured presentations from four LATAM executives, focusing on LATAM’s competitiveness and its commitment to offering the best travel solutions to customers while being financially solid and striving to be a sustainable group that adapts to new technologies. The full presentation and webcast replay of the event is available on LATAM's Investor Relations website.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF THIRD QUARTER 2024 RESULTS

LATAM group reported total operating revenues of US$3,287 million in the third quarter, an increase of 7.6% compared to the same period of 2023, mainly explained by a 6.3% increase in passenger revenues and a 15.7% increase in cargo revenues. For the third quarter of 2024, passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 87.1% and 11.6% of total operating revenues, respectively.

Passenger revenues amounted to US$2,865 million in the third quarter, increasing 6.3% versus the same period of 2023, primarily driven by a 15.1% capacity increase, measured in ASKs. During the quarter, LATAM's RASK was US$7.0 cents, showing a decrease of 7.7% compared to the previous year, in part a reflection of the 4.8% drop in jet fuel prices (including hedges) as well as foreign exchange rate variations. Despite the year-over-year decrease, RASK remained consistent with the levels published in the second quarter of 2024.

Cargo revenues amounted to US$381 million in the third quarter, increasing 15.7% versus the same period of 2023. Cargo capacity, measured in ATK, increased by 13.3%, mainly explained by the upsizing in the group's cargo and passenger fleet, together with an increase of 3.2pp in the cargo load factor due to a stronger south-bound demand environment from North America to South America.

Other income amounted to US$42 million in the third quarter, an increase of 31.7% compared to the same period of 2023. This annual growth is primarily due to higher revenues recognized from the redemption of non-airline products in the LATAM Pass program, tour services and codeshare agreements.

Total adjusted operating expenses totaled US$2,827 million during the quarter, increasing 6.8% versus 3Q23. This increase was primarily associated with the 15.1% increase in passenger operations. Average fuel price (with hedges) decreased 4.8% compared to the same period of 2023. During the third quarter of 2024, LATAM group reported an adjusted passenger CASK ex-fuel of US$4.0 cents, a 8.5% decrease compared to the same quarter of 2023. This adjusted passenger CASK ex-fuel is in line with LATAM's full year guidance, even when excluding the foreign exchange variation impact, thus reflecting a continued focus on cost containment.

The changes in adjusted operating expenses during the quarter were mainly explained by:

Wages and benefits increased 2.1% compared to the third quarter of 2023, mainly explained by a 9.1% increase in the average headcount of the group, particularly in cabin crew linked to the 15.1% increase in passenger operations year over year, and partially offset by foreign exchange rate effects.

Aircraft fuel costs increased 7.9% versus the same period of 2023, explained by a 13.3% increase in fuel consumption due to higher operations. This was in part offset by the 4.8% decrease in the average jet fuel price (with hedges) compared to the third quarter of 2023.

Commissions to agents decreased 22.4% compared to 3Q23, attributed to a greater penetration of direct sales. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2023, a one-time backend accounting reclassification resulted in a higher comparison base.

Depreciation and amortization increased 15.9% versus 3Q23, explained by the increase in the total number of aircraft. LATAM group ended the third quarter of 2023 with 321 aircraft, compared to 341 aircraft at the end of the same quarter of this year. Furthermore, this line increased due to the incorporation of newer, state-of-the-art aircraft into the operation, with an incremental amount of 18 Airbus Neo family aircraft versus the same quarter of 2023.

Other rental and landing fees decreased 6.3% versus 3Q23, mainly due to currency depreciation and the reversal of certain provisions, partially offset by the increase in international operations, as well as the number of passengers transported.

Passenger services expenses totaled US$83 million during the third quarter, increasing 29.0% versus the same period of 2023. This can primarily be attributed to the 15.1% growth in capacity, particularly driven by the 22.4% growth of the international segment, which has resulted in a more significant international mix in the operations, along with higher costs of catering and onboard services.

Aircraft rentals expenses, which correspond exclusively to LATAM group’s fleet power-by-the-hour (PBH) contracts, amounted to US$1.0 million, representing a 95.7% decrease versus 3Q23. This significant decline is a result of almost all PBH contracts for aircraft having expired, with only a few aircraft remaining under PBH. This expense is considered a special item since there is a non-cash double counting of fleet PBH in Aircraft Rentals and in the Depreciation & Amortization line, and therefore has been adjusted for in the adjusted financial figures.

Aircraft maintenance expenses totaled US$228 million, corresponding to a 65.9% increase versus 3Q23 primarily due to a higher level of operations and flight cycles in both passenger and cargo segments. Additionally, the increase was driven by escalation in unit costs, intensified by supply chain challenges, as well as non-recurring costs associated with the redelivery costs for certain aircraft.
Other operating expenses decreased 7.1% compared to 3Q23 and amounted to US$330 million, partially explained by a reduction of reservation systems and civil claim cost reduction, due to better operational performance and lower affected passengers in Brazil, along with foreign exchange rate effects.

Other gains and losses totaled US$9 million in losses for the third quarter, primarily due to labor contingencies in Argentina. This line includes, but is not limited to, contingencies related to non-current operations, fair value adjustments, and other one-time effects.

Non-operating results

Interest income amounted to US$46 million in the quarter, explained by a higher level of cash and cash and a higher interest rate compared to 3Q23.

Interest expense increased 11.9% versus 3Q23, to US$195 million during the quarter, mainly due to the increase in the number of aircraft leases.

Foreign exchange gains and losses amounted to US$20 million in losses in the second quarter, with a decrease of 147.4% compared to the same period of 2023, mainly related to the depreciation of the Brazilian Real, as well as the effect of the bond in UF (Unidad de Fomento, in Spanish) during the third quarter of 2024.

Result of indexation units amounted to US$7 million in the quarter, which is an increase compared to the same period of 2023 mainly due to the adjustments for hyperinflation primarily linked to the increase in labor contingencies in Argentina due to the cease of its domestic operations, together with a higher CPI than 2023.

Net income attributable to the owners of the parent company during the quarter amounted to US$301 million.

LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING

During the third quarter of 2024, LATAM group generated US$157 million in cash. As of quarter end, LATAM's liquidity stood at approximately US$3.6 billion, comprised of approximately US$2.0 billion in cash and cash equivalents, in addition to US$1.55 billion in available and fully undrawn revolving credit facilities (“RCF”). Liquidity as a percentage of revenues of last twelve months was 27.6%.

LATAM group registered a consolidated fleet debt (operational leases and finance leases) of US$4.3 billion, alongside a non-fleet debt of US$2.8 billion. This results in a total gross debt of US$7.1 billion and a net debt of US$5.1 billion. At the end of the period, LATAM group reported an adjusted net leverage of 1.7x, demonstrating its continued strong capital structure and robust operations.

With respect to LATAM group’s fuel hedging policy, its main objective is to protect against medium-term liquidity risk from fuel price increases, while benefiting from fuel price reductions. Accordingly, LATAM group hedges a portion of its estimated fuel consumption. Hedge positions per quarter for the next months, as of October 29, 2024, are shown in the table below:

LATAM Airlines Group S.A.
Reconciliation of Reported Amounts to Non-GAAP Items (in thousands of US Dollars)

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. ("LATAM" or "the Company") prepares its financial statements under “International Financial Reporting Standards” (“IFRS”) as issued by the IASB, however, for ease of presentation and comparison, the Income Statement in this report is presented in an Adapted by Nature Format. On some occasions, adjustments to these Income Statement figures are made for Special Items. These adjustments to include or exclude special items allows management an additional tool to understand and analyze its core operating performance and allow for more meaningful comparison in the industry. Therefore, LATAM believes these non-GAAP financial measures, derived from the consolidated financial statements but not presented in accordance with IFRS, may provide useful information to investors and others. In this table, you can find a reconciliation of the IFRS and the Adapted by Nature Format as LATAM reports its Income Statement in this earnings release for ease of comparison and further disclosure, as well as the adjustments made for Special Items.

These non-GAAP items may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP items of other companies and should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for or superior to GAAP results. The tables below show these reconciliations:
