Santiago, March 3, 2020
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders
Latam Airlines Group S.A.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Latam Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 and as at January 1, 2018 and the consolidated statements of income by function, consolidated comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows – direct method for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the corresponding notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of a relevant internal control for the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Chilean Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. As a consequence we do not express that kind of opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects the financial position of Latam Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2019 and 2018 and January, 1, 2018, and the results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Emphasis of matter
As described in note 2.1 to the consolidated financial statements, on January 1, 2019, the company adopted IFRS 16 - Leases, which establishes the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. The Company has chosen to apply this standard retrospectively, restating the balances as at January 1 and December 31, 2018. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.

(1) | Expected credit losses: The Company modified the calculation of the impairment provision to comply with the expected credit loss model, established in IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which replaces the current loss impairment model incurred. To the calculate percentage of credit losses, a risk matrix was used, grouping the portfolio, according to similar characteristics of risk and maturity. This change resulted in the recognition of an increase in the provision for impairment losses of US $ (11.1) million. |
This standard also includes requirements related to the classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities and an expected credit loss model that replaces the current loss impairment model incurred.

The management of the Company estimates that the adoption of the standards, amendments and Interpretations described above, will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company in the application of its first adoption. At the close consolidated financial statements, the Company is analyzing the possible effects of the amendment issued in September 2019 to IFRS 9, IAS 39 and IFRS 7 for the reform of interest rates of reference.
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 flows are incorporated from the date of acquisition.
18
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 revealed when carrying out a business combination, such as the acquisition of an entity by the Company, is apply the acquisition method provided for in IFRS 3: Business combination.
(b) | Transactions with non-controlling interests |
The Group applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not related to 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 assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, the non-controlling 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 in Other gains (losses).
If LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries retain an ownership of participation in the sold subsidiary, and does not represent control, this is recognized at fair value on the date that control is lost, the amounts previously recognized in Other comprehensive income are accounted as if the Company had disposed directly from the assets and related liabilities, which can cause these amounts are 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 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.
19
(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.
(c) | Adjustment due to hyperinflation |
After July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy was considered, for purposes of IFRS, hyperinflationary. The 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 incomes 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 items 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 the consolidated retained earnings.
Re-expression due to hyperinflation will be recorded until the period 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
20
(iii) All the resultant exchange differences by conversion are shown as a separate component in other comprehensive income.
For those subsidiaries of the group whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency and, moreover, 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.
Adjustments to the Goodwill and fair value arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange rate or period informed, restated when the currency came from the functional entity of the foreign entity corresponds to that of a hyperinflationary economy, the adjustments for the restatement of goodwill are recognized in the consolidated equity.
2.4. | Property, plant and equipment |
The land of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries, are recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the Properties, plants and equipment are recorded, both in their initial recognition and in their subsequent measurement, at their historical cost, restated for inflation when appropriate, less the corresponding depreciation and any loss due to deterioration.
The amounts of advances paid to the aircraft manufacturers are activated 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, they 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 the result of the year in which they are incurred.
The depreciation of the properties, plants 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.
The residual value and the useful life of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, once a year.
When the value of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount (Note 2.8).
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.
21
2.5. | Intangible assets other than goodwill |
(a) | Airport slots and Loyalty program |
Airport slots and the Coalition and Loyalty program are intangible assets of indefinite useful life and are subject to impairment tests annually as an integral part of each CGU identified by the Company, in accordance with the premises that are applicable, included as follows:
Airport slots – Air transport CGU
Loyalty program – Air transport CGU
(See Note 16)

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 been 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 others cost directly related to the production of unique and identifiable computer software controlled by the Company, are shown as intangible Assets others than Goodwill when they have met all the criteria for capitalization.
(c) | Brands |
The Brands were acquired in the business combination with TAM S.A. And Subsidiaries and recognized at fair value under IFRS. During the year 2016, the estimated useful life of the brands changes from an indefinite useful life to a five-year period, the period in which the value of the brands will be amortized (See Note 15).
2.6. | Goodwill |
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the Company’s participation in the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary or associate on the acquisition date. Goodwill related to acquisition of subsidiaries is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or each time that there is evidence of impairment. Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include the book amount of the goodwill related to the entity sold.
22
2.7. | 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.
2.8. | Losses for impairment of non-financial assets |
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life and developing IT projects are not subject to amortization and are subject to annual tests for impairment losses or if there are indications of impairment. Management conducts an impairment assessment 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 exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of the cash generating unit is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The value in use is determined by management using a discounted cash flow model. For the purpose of assessing impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are separately identifiable cash flows (cash generating units). Prior impairments of non-financial assets, other than goodwill, are reviewed for possible reversal at each reporting date.
2.9. | Financial assets |
As of January 1, 2018, 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 income statement.
(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 FVOCI 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 income statement within other gains / (losses) in the period in which it arises.
23
(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 statement of income 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 risk.
2.10. | Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities |
Derivatives are recognized, in accordance with IAS 39 for hedge accounting and IFRS 9 for derivatives not qualify as hedge accounting, 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 has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as:
(a) | Hedge of the fair value of recognized assets (fair value hedge); |
(b) | Hedge of an identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly- Probable transaction (cash-flow hedge), or |
(c) | Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. |
The Company documents, at the inception of each transaction, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its objectives for managing risk and the strategy for carrying out various hedging transactions. 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) | Fair value hedges |
Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are shown in the consolidated statement of income, together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged that is attributable to the risk being hedged.
(b) | 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 under other gains (losses). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
In case of variable interest-rate hedges, the amounts recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to results within financial costs at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.
24
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.
For foreign currency hedges, the amounts recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to income as deferred revenue resulting from the use of points, are recognized as Income.
When hedging instrument mature, is sold or fails to meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, 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 as “Other gains (losses)”.
(c) | 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)”.
2.11. | Inventories |
Inventories, detailed in Note 10, 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.
2.12. | 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.
25
2.13. | 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.
2.14. | 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.
2.15. | Trade and other accounts payables |
Trade payables and other accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost.
2.16. | 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.
2.17. | Current and deferred taxes |
The tax expense for the period comprises income and deferred taxes.
The current income tax expense is calculated based on tax laws in enacted the date of 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. However, deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of an assets or a liability in transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting or the taxable profit or loss. 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 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.
26
2.18. | Employee benefits |
(a) | Personnel vacations |
The Company recognizes the expense for personnel vacations on an accrual basis.
(b) | Share-based compensation |
The compensation plans implemented based on the shares of the Company are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 2: Share-based payments, for plans based on the granting of options, the effect of fair value is recorded in equity with a charge to remuneration in a linear manner between the date of grant of said options and the date on which they become irrevocable, for the plans considered as cash settled award the fair value, updated as of the closing date of each reporting period, 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.
2.19. | Provisions |
Provisions are recognized when:
(i) | The Company has a present legal or implicit obligation as a result of past events; |
(ii) | It is probable that payment is going to be necessary to settle an obligation; and |
(iii) | The amount has been reliably estimated. |
2.20. | 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 lent 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.
27
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 in a monthly basis the probability of expiration of air tickets, with refund clauses, based on the history of use of the same. Air tickets without refund clause are expired 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 activated and deferred until the corresponding service is provided. These assets are included under Other non-financial assets in the Consolidated Classified Statement of Financial Position.
(d) | Frequent passenger program |
The Company maintains the following loyalty programs: LATAM Pass, LATAM Pass Brasil, whose objective is building customer loyalty through the delivery of miles or points.
Members of these programs accumulate miles when flying with LATAM Airlines Group or any other member airline of the oneworld® program, as well purchasing of products and services from network of non airlines partners.
When the miles and points are exchanged for products and services other than the services provided by the Company, the income is immediately recognized. When the miles are redeemed through air tickets of an airline of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries, the income is deferred until the transportation service are rendered or expiration for non-use.
In addition, the Company has contracts with certain non-airline companies for the sale of miles or points. These contracts include some performance obligations in addition to the sale of the mile or point, such as marketing, advertising and other benefits. The income associated with these concepts is recognized in the income statement to the extent that the miles are accredited.
Deferred income of loyalty programs is determined based on the estimated stand-alone selling price of unused miles and points awarded to the members of the loyalty programs, reduced for breakage.
The miles and points that the Company estimates will not be exchanged are recognized at the moment of the earn. Management uses statistical models to estimate the breakage based on the latest available information regarding redemption and expiration patterns.
(e) | Dividend income |
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established.
28
2.21. | 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.
Assets for right of use 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 assets by right of use are recognized in the statement of financial position in Properties, plants and equipment (See Note 17).
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 options, if is reasonably certain to exercise that option. |
The Company determines the present value of the lease payments using the implicit rates for the aircraft leasing contracts and for the rest of the underlying assets, uses the incremental borrowing rate.
Lease liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position under Other financial liabilities, current or non-current (See Note 19).
Interest accrued on financial liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in “Financial costs”.
Principal and interest are presented in the consolidated cash flow as “Payments of lease liability” and “Interest paid”, respectively, in cash flows use in financing activities.
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 in cash flows use in operation activities.
The Company analyzes the financing agreements of aircrafts, 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 continue to be presented within the “other financial liabilities” described in Note 19. On the other hand, aircraft are presented in Property, plants and equipment as described in Note 17, as “own aircrafts”.
29
The Group qualifies as sale and leaseback transactions, operations which lead to a sale according to IFRS 15. More specifically, a sale is considered as such if there is no repurchase option on the goods at the end of the lease term.
If the sale of the seller-lessee is classified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the underlying asset is derecognized and an asset is recognized for the right to use equal to the retained part of the net carrying amount of the asset.
If the sale by the seller-lessee is not qualified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the assets transferred are maintained in the financial statements and a financial liability is recognized equal to the sale price (received from the buyer-lessor).
2.22. | 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.
2.23. | 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, once made, the 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.
The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.
2.24. | Environmental costs |
Disbursements related to environmental protection are charged to results when incurred.

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 program overall 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 is exposed to market factors such as: (i) fuel-price risk, (ii) exchange -rate risk (FX), and (iii) interest -rate risk.
The Company has developed policies and procedures for managing market risk, which aim to identify, quantify, monitor and mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market factors mentioned above.
For this, the Administration monitors the evolution of price levels, exchange rates and interest rates, and quantifies their risk exposures (Value at Risk), and develops and implements hedging strategies.
(i) | Fuel-price risk: |
Exposition:
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 cover the risk exposure fuel, the Company operates with derivative instruments (swaps and options) whose underlying assets may be different from Jet Fuel, being possible use West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude, Brent (“BRENT”) crude and distillate Heating Oil (“HO”), which have a high correlation with Jet Fuel and greater liquidity.
Fuel Hedging Results:
During the period ended december 31, 2019, the Company recognized losses of US$ 23.1 million for fuel coverage net of premium. During the same period of 2018, the Company recognized gains of US$ 29.7 million for the same concept.
As of december 31, 2019, the market value of fuel positions amounted to US$ 48.5 million (positive). At the end of december 2018, this market value was US$ 15.8 million (negative).
31
The following tables show the level of hedge for different periods:
Maturities | ||||||||||||||||||||
Positions as of December 31, 2019 (*) | Q120 | Q220 | Q320 | Q420 | Total | |||||||||||||||
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption | 65 | % | 61 | % | 20 | % | 19 | % | 41 | % |

Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption | 66 | % | 58 | % | 40 | % | 15 | % | 45 | % |
(*) | The volume 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. The policy therefore is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in price.
The current hedge positions they 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 analysis of the financial instruments according to reasonable changes in the fuel price and their effect on equity. The term of the projection was defined until the end of the last current fuel hedge contract, being the last business day of the third quarter of 2020.
The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$ 5 per barrel in the curve of the JET crude futures benchmark price at the end of December 2019 and the end of December 2018.
Positions as of december 31, 2019 | Positions as of december 31, 2018 | |||||||
Benchmark price | effect on equity | effect on equity | ||||||
(US$ per barrel) | (millions of US$) | (millions of US$) | ||||||
+5 | +15.4 | +7.4 | ||||||
-5 | -34.5 | -5.5 |
Given the structure of fuel coverage during 2019, considers a hedge-free portion, a vertical drop of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly average), would have meant an approximate impact US $ 121.8 million of lower fuel costs. For the same period, a vertical rise of US$ 5 in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly average) would have meant an impact of approximately US $ 114.2 million of higher fuel costs.
32
(ii) | Foreign exchange rate risk: |
Exposition:
The functional and presentation 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 (BRL), 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 derivative instruments or through natural hedges or execution of internal operations.
Exchange Rate Hedging Results (FX):
With the objective of reducing exposure to the exchange rate risk in the operational cash flows of 2019, and securing the operating margin, LATAM makes hedges using FX derivatives.
As of december 31, 2019, the market value of FX derivative positions amounted to US $ 0.04 million (negative). At the end of December 2018, the Company did not maintain derivatives of current FX hedges.
During the period endeddecember 31, 2019, the Company recognized gains of US $ 1.9 million for FX coverage net of premiums. During the same period of 2018, the Company recognized gains of US$ 18.3 million.
As of december 31, 2019, the Company has contracted FX derivatives for US $ 15 million for BRL. At the end of december 2018, the Company did not maintain current FX derivatives.
During 2018 the company contracted FX derivatives which were not registered under hedge accounting. As of december 31, 2019, the amount recognized in results amounts to US $ 6.2 million (negative) net of premiums.
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.
33
FX derivatives are recorded as cash flow hedge contracts; therefore, a variation in the exchange rate has an impact on the market value of the derivatives, the changes of which affect the Company’s net equity.
The following table shows the sensitization of FX derivative instruments according to reasonable changes in the exchange rate and its effect on equity. The projection period was defined until the end of the last coverage contract in force, with the last business day of the first quarter of the year 2020:
Appreciation (depreciation)(*) | Effect at december 31, 2019 | Effect at december 31, 2018 | |||||
of R$ | Millions of US$ | Millions of US$ | |||||
-10% | -0.6 | - | |||||
+10% | +1.1 | - |
(*) | Appreciation (depreciation) of US$ regard to the covered currencies. |
During 2018 and 2019, the Company contracted swap currency derivatives for debt coverage issued the same year for a notional UF 8.7 million and UF 5.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2019, the market value of the currency swaps derivative positions amounted to US $ 22.7 million (negative). At the end of December 2018, this market value was US $ 15.1 million (positive).
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 dollar to real, 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 has executed internal operations to reduce the net exposure in US $ for TAM S.A.
The following table shows the variation of financial performance to appreciate or depreciate 10% exchange rate R$/US$:
Appreciation (depreciation)(*) | Effect at december 31, 2019 | Effect at december 31, 2018 | |||||

Effects of exchange rate derivatives in the Financial Statements
The profit or losses caused by changes in the fair value of hedging instruments are segregated between intrinsic value and temporary value. The intrinsic value is the actual percentage of cash flow covered, initially shown in equity and later transferred to income, while the hedge transaction is recorded in income. The temporary value corresponds to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedge which is recognized in the financial results of the Company (Note 19).
34
Due to 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 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. The Goodwill generated in the Business combination is recognized as an asset of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries in Brazilian real whose conversion to U.S. dollar also produces effects in other comprehensive income.
The following table shows the change in Other comprehensive income recognized in Total equity in the case of appreciate or depreciate 10% the exchange rate R$/US$:
Appreciation (depreciation) | Effect at december 31, 2019 | Effect at december 31, 2018 | ||||||
of R$/US$ | Millions of US$ | Millions of US$ | ||||||
-10% | +402.48 | +384.73 | ||||||
+10% | -329.29 | -314.78 |
(iii) | Interest -rate risk: |
Exposition:
The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates affecting the markets future cash flows of the assets, and current and future financial liabilities.
The Company is exposed in one portion to the variations of London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interest rates of less relevance are Brazilian Interbank Deposit Certificate (“IDC”).
Mitigation:
In order to reduce the risk of an eventual rise in interest rates, the Company has signed interest-rate swap and call option contracts. Currently a 62% (60% at December 31, 2018) of the debt is fixed to fluctuations in interest rate.
Rate Hedging Results:
As of december 31, 2019, the market value of the derivative positions of interest rates amounted to US $ 2.6 million (positive). At the end of December 2018, this market value was US $ 2.2 million (negative).
35
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) futures curve in libor 3 months | Positions as of december 31, 2019 effect on profit or loss before tax (millions of US$) | Positions as of december 31, 2018 effect on profit or loss before tax (millions of US$) | ||||||
+100 basis points | -27.60 | -29.62 | ||||||
-100 basis points | +27.60 | +29.62 |
Much of the current rate derivatives are registered for as hedges of cash flow, therefore, a variation in the exchange rate has an impact on the market value of derivatives, whose changes impact on the Company’s net equity.
The calculations were made increasing (decreasing) vertically 100 basis points of the three-month Libor futures curve, being both reasonably possible scenarios according to historical market conditions.
Increase (decrease) futures curve in libor 3 months | Positions as of december 31, 2019 effect on equity (millions of US$) | Positions as of december 31, 2018 effect on equity (millions of US$) | ||||||
+100 basis points | +13.62 | +0.70 | ||||||
-100 basis points | -14.71 | -0.71 |
The assumptions of sensitivity calculation must assume that forward curves of interest rates do not necessarily reflect the real value of the compensation flows. Moreover, the structure of interest rates is dynamic over time.
During the periods presented, the Company has no registered amounts by ineffectiveness in consolidated statement of income for this kind of hedging.
(b) | Credit risk |
Credit risk occurs when the counterparty to a financial agreement or instrument fails to discharge an obligation due or financial instrument, leading to a loss in market value of a financial instrument (only financial assets, not liabilities).
The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operative and financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other kinds of instruments, exchange-rate transactions and the contracting of derivative instruments or options.
To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of operational activities in Brazil with travel agents).
As a way to mitigate credit risk related to financial activities, the Company requires that the counterparty to the financial activities remain at least investment grade by major Risk Assessment Agencies. Additionally, the Company has established maximum limits for investments which are monitored regularly.
36
(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, short-term mutual funds, and easily-liquidated corporate and sovereign bonds with short remaining maturities. 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) their credit rating, (ii) the equity size of the counterparty, and (iii) investment limits according to the Company’s level of liquidity. According to these three parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous three 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, international (“IATA”) 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, they are 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.
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. Currently the sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with travel agents and cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aéreas 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 abridge 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.
37
(c) | Liquidity risk |
Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company has no sufficient funds to meet its obligations.
Because of the cyclical nature of the business, the operation, and its investment and financing needs related to the acquisition of new aircraft and renewal of its fleet, plus the financing needs, the Company requires liquid funds, defined as cash and cash equivalents plus other short term financial assets, to meet its payment obligations. The liquid funds, the future cash generation and the capacity to obtain additional funding, through bond issuance and banking loans, will allow the Company to obtain sufficient alternatives to face its investment and financing future commitments.
At december 31, 2019is US$ 1,459 million (US$ 1,404 million at december 31, 2018), invested in short term instruments through financial high credit rating levels entities.
In addition to the balance of liquid funds, the Company has access to short-term credit lines. As of december 31, 2019, LATAM has credit lines for working capital that are not committed to several banks and additionally has an unused committed line of US$ 600 million (US$ 600 million as of December 31, 2018) subject to availability of collateral.

The Company has fuel, interest rate and exchange rate hedging strategies involving derivatives contracts with different financial institutions. The Company has margin facilities with each financial institution in order to regulate the mutual exposure produced by changes in the market valuation of the derivatives.
At the end of 2018, the Company had delivered US$ 5.0 million in guarantees for derivative margins, corresponding to cash and standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2019, US$ 23.7 million were delivered in guarantees corresponding to cash and standby letters of credit. The increase was due to: i) the expiration of hedge contracts, ii) acquisition of new hedge contracts, and iii) changes in fuel prices, changes in exchange rates and interest rates.
3.2. | Capital risk management |
The Company’s objectives, with respect to the management of capital, are (i) to comply with the restrictions of minimum equity and (ii) to maintain an optimal capital structure.
The Company monitors its contractual obligations and the regulatory limitations in the different countries where the entities of the group are domiciled to assure they meet the limit of minimum net equity, where the most restrictive limitation is to maintain a positive net equity.
Additionally, the Company periodically monitors the short and long term cash flow projections to assure the Company has adequate sources of funding to generate the cash requirement to face its investment and funding future commitments.
The Company international credit rating is the consequence of the Company capacity to face its long terms financing commitments. As of December 31, 2019 the Company has an international long term credit rating of BB- with stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s, a BB- rating with stable outlook by Fitch Ratings and a Ba3 rating with stable outlook by Moody’s.
3.3. | Estimates of fair value. |
At december 31, 2019, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at fair value. These are grouped into two categories:
1. | Hedge Instruments: |
This category includes the following instruments:
- | Interest rate derivative contracts, |
- | Fuel derivative contracts, |
- | Currency derivative contracts. |
2. | Financial Investments: |
This category includes the following instruments:
- | Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent) |
- | Private investment funds. |
45
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, income, expenses and commitments. Basically, these estimates refer to:
(a) | Evaluation of possible losses due to impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life |
As of december 31, 2019, goodwill amount to ThUS$ 2,209,576 (ThUS$ 2,294,072 as of december 31, 2018), while the intangible assets comprise the Airport Slots for ThUS$ 845,959 (ThUS$ 828,969 as of december 31, 2018) and Loyalty Program for ThUS$ 263,806 (ThUS$ 274,420 as of december 31, 2018).
47
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. For this evaluation, the Company had identified two CGUs, “Air transport” and “Multiplus coalition and loyalty program”, until December 31, 2018. After the merger of Multiplus (see Note 1), administrator of the Multiplus coalition and loyalty program, the Company has determined air transport as a single CGU. The classification of intangible assets of indefinite useful life in the CGUs, before and after the merger of Multiplus S.A. are as follow:

Management’s value-in-use calculations included significant judgments and assumptions relating to revenue growth rates, exchange rates, discount rate, inflation rates, fuel price. The estimation of these assumptions requires significant judgment by the management, as these variables feature inherent uncertainty; however, the assumptions used are consistent with Company’s internal planning. Therefore, management evaluates and updates the estimates on an annual basis, in light of conditions that affect these variables. The main assumptions used as well as the corresponding sensitivity analyses are showed in Note 16.
(b) | Useful life, residual value, and impairment of property, plant, and equipment |
The depreciation of assets is calculated based on the linear model, except for certain technical components depreciated on cycles and hours flown. These useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis according with 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 render the useful life different to the lifespan 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.
Residual values are estimated in accordance with the market value that these assets will have at the end of their useful life. The assets’ residual values and useful lives are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, once a year. An asset’s carrying amount is written down immediately to its recoverable amount if the asset’s carrying amount is greater than its estimated recoverable amount (Note 2.8).
(c) | Recoverability of deferred tax assets |
Management records deferred taxes on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements. 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.

Management applied significant judgment in assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets. In determining the amount of deferred tax assets to be recognized, management considered historical profitability, projected future taxable profit (including assumptions related the revenue growth rates, exchange rates, discount rate and fuel price which are in line with those used in the impairment analysis of the group's cash generating unit) and the expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences.
As of December 31, 2019, the Company has recognized deferred tax assets of ThUS$ 235,583 (ThUS$ 273,529 as of December 31, 2018) and has ceased to recognize deferred tax assets on tax losses of ThUS$ 110,933 (ThUS$ 137,761 December 31, 2018) (Note 18).
(d) | Air tickets sold that will not be finally used. |
The Company records the anticipated sale of air tickets as deferred income. Ordinary income from the sale of tickets is recognized in the income statement when the passenger transport service is provided or expired for non-use. The Company evaluates monthly the probability of expiration of air tickets, with return clauses, based on the history of use of air tickets. A change in this probability could generate an impact on revenue in the year in which the change occurs and in future years. As of December 31, 2019 the deferred income associated with the air tickets sold amounts to ThUS $ 1,511,991. - (ThUS $ 1,299,304 as of December 31, 2018). A hypothetical change of one percentage point in passenger behavior with respect to use would result in an impact of up to ThUS $ 6,000 per month.
(e) | Valuation of miles and points awarded to holders of loyalty programs, pending use. |
As of December 31, 2019, the deferred income associated with the LATAM Pass loyalty program amounts to ThUS$ 1,332,173 (ThUS$ 1,324,635 as of December 31, 2018). A hypothetical change of one percentage point in the probability of exchange of miles would result in an impact of ThUS$ 31,565 in the results of 2019 (ThUS$ 27,726 in 2018). Deferred income associated with the LATAM Pass Brasil loyalty program (See Note 22) amounts to ThUS$ 354,847 as of December 31, 2019 (ThUS$ 293,831 as of December 31, 2018). A hypothetical change of two percentage points in the probability of exchange of points would result in an impact of ThUS$ 12,501 in the results of 2019 (ThUS$ 13,140 in 2018).
Management used statistical models to estimate the miles and point awarded that will not be redeemed, by the programs members (breakage) which involved significant judgments and assumptions relating the historical redemption and expiration activity and forecasted redemption and expiration patterns.
For LATAM Pass Brazil, the expiration occurs after a fixed period from the time of the accumulation. Model is built by the management considering historical expiration rates, to costumers exchange behaviors and relevant segmentations.
For LATAM Pass there are rules that allow members to renew their miles, so the management in conjunction with an external specialist develop a predictive model of non-use miles, which allows to generate non-use rates on the basis of historical information, based on behavior of the accumulation, use and expiration of the miles.

(f) | Provisions needs, and their valuation when required |
Known contingencies are recognized when: The Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events; it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount has been reliably estimated. The Company applies professional judgment, experience, and knowledge to use available information to determine these values, in light of the specific characteristics of known risks. This process facilitates the early assessment and valuation of potential risks in individual cases or in the development of contingent eventualities.
(g) | Leases |
(i) | Discount rate |
The discount rate used to calculate the lease debt corresponds, for each aircraft, to the implicit interest rate induced by the contractual elements and residual market values. The implied rate of the contract is the discount rate that gives the aggregated present value of the minimum lease payments and the unguaranteed residual value. This present value should be equal to the sum of the fair value of the leased asset and any initial direct costs of the lessor.
For those leases other than aircraft, we use our estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from information available at the lease commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. We consider to our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates.
A 100 basis point decrease in our estimate of the rate at January 1, 2019 (the date the adoption of the standard) would increase our lease liability by approximately US$ 105 million.
(ii) | Lease term |
In determining the lease term, there are considers all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option, or not exercise a termination option. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if the lease is reasonably certain to be extended (or not terminated). The assessment is reviewed if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs which affects this assessment and that is within the control of the lessee.
(h) | Investment in subsidiary (TAM) |
The management has applied its judgment in determining that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. controls TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries, for accounting purposes, and has therefore consolidated the financial statements.
The grounds for this decision are that LATAM issued ordinary shares in exchange for the majority of circulating ordinary and preferential shares in TAM, except for those TAM shareholders who did not accept the exchange, which were subject to a squeeze out, entitling LATAM to substantially all economic benefits generated by the LATAM Group, and thus exposing it to substantially all risks relating to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all of its shareholders, including the controlling shareholders of TAM, thus ensuring that the shareholders and directors of TAM shall have no incentive to exercise their rights in a manner that would be beneficial to TAM but detrimental to LATAM. Furthermore, all significant actions necessary of the operation of the airlines require votes in favor by the controlling shareholders of both LATAM and TAM.
50
Since the integration of LAN and TAM operations, the most critical airline operations in Brazil have been managed by the CEO of TAM while global activities have been managed by the CEO of LATAM, who is in charge of the operation of the LATAM Group as a whole and reports to the LATAM Board.
The CEO of LATAM also evaluates the performance of LATAM Group executives and, together with the LATAM Board, determines compensation. Although Brazilian law currently imposes restrictions on the percentages of voting rights that may be held by foreign investors, LATAM believes that the economic basis of these agreements meets the requirements of accounting standards in force, and that the consolidation of the operations of LAN and LATAM is appropriate.
These estimates were made based on the best information available relating to the matters analyzed.
In any case, it is possible that events that may take place in the future could lead to their modification in future reporting periods, which would be made in a prospective manner.
NOTE 5 - SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
As of December 31, 2019, the Company considers that it has a single operating segment, that of 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 worldwide in the airline industry.
Until June 2019, the Company presented two operating segments, the one corresponding to Air transport and the Multiplus coalition and loyalty program segment, discussed in Note 1, the Company Multiplus S.A. Administrator of the Coalition and Loyalty Program Multiplus merged into TAM Linhas Aereas S.A., ceasing to be an entity with independent administration. The Multiplus coalition and Loyalty program, which was defined as an operating segment, due to this independent administration, became part of the Air Transport segment together with the LATAM Pass and LATAM fidelidades programs.
The company has restated the information corresponding to December 31, 2018 for the presentation of a single segment of information.

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 very relevant, and the policy is to analyze case by case to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining if their reclassification corresponds to pre-judicial collection accounts.

(2) Aircraft maintenance reserves reflect prepayment deposits made by the group to lessors of certain aircraft under operating lease agreements in order to ensure that funds are available to support the scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft.
These amounts are calculated based on performance measures, such as flight hours or cycles, are paid periodically (usually monthly) and are contractually required to be repaid to the lessee upon the completion of the required maintenance of the leased aircraft. At the end of the lease term, any unused maintenance reserves are either returned to the Company in cash or used to offset amounts that we may owe the lessor as a maintenance adjustment.
In some cases, (five lease agreements), if the maintenance cost incurred by LATAM is less than the corresponding maintenance reserves, the lessor is entitled to retain those excess amounts at the time the heavy maintenance is performed. The Company periodically reviews its maintenance reserves for each of its leased aircraft to ensure that they will be recovered and recognizes an expense if any such amounts are less than probable of being returned. The cost of aircraft maintenance in the last years has been higher than the related maintenance reserves for all aircraft.
63
As of December 31, 2019, maintenance reserves amount to ThUS$ 45,831 (ThUS$ 52,667 as of December 31, 2018), corresponding to 8 aircraft that maintain remaining balances, which will be settled in the next maintenance or return.
Aircraft maintenance reserves are classified as current or non-current depending on the dates when the related maintenance is expected to be performed (Note 2.23).
NOTE 13 - NON-CURRENT ASSETS AND DISPOSAL GROUP CLASSIFIED AS HELD FOR SALE

The balances are presented at the lower of book value and fair value less cost to sell. The fair value of these assets was determined based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities. This is a level II measurement as per the fair value hierarchy set out in Note 3.3 (2). There were no transfers between levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year.
a) | Assets reclassified from Property, plant and equipment to Non-current assets or groups of assets for disposal classified as held for sale. |
During 2019, four Airbus A350, aircraft two Boeing 767, were reclassified from Property, plants and equipment to Non-current assets or groups of assets for disposal classified as held for sale.
Additionally, during 2019, the sale of one motor spare Boeing 767 and one Boeing 767 aircraft were materialized. As a result of the above, during 2019, adjustments for US $ 2 million of expense were recognized to record these assets at their net realizable value.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company maintains only the CGU “Air Transport”, due to the merger of Multiplus S.A. in TAM Linhas Aereas (see Note 1), and changes in the management structure.
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 and Oceania.
The recoverable amount of the CGU has been determined based on the value in use calculations which require the use of assumptions. These calculations use cash flow projections covering a 5 year period which is based on the financial budgets approved by management. Cash flows beyond the 5 year period are extrapolated using the estimated revenue growth rates and average volumes, which do not exceed the average long-term revenue 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 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 in 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 Bank 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.
69
As of December 31, 2019 the recoverable values were determined using the following assumptions presented below:
Air transportation CGU | ||||
Annual growth rate (Terminal) | % | 1.0 - 2.0 | ||
Exchange rate (1) | R$/US$ | 4.0 - 4.9 | ||
Discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) | % | 7.50 - 8.50 | ||
Fuel Price from futures price curves commodities markets | US$/barrel | 79 - 80 |
(1) | In line with the expectations of the Central Bank of Brazil |
The result of the impairment test, which includes a sensitivity analysis of its main variables, showed that the estimated recoverable amount exceeded the carrying amount of the cash generating unit, and therefore no impairment was detected.
The calculation of the recoverable value of the CGU is most sensitive to annual revenue growth rates, discount and exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included the individual impact of the variations of the critical estimates when determining the recoverable amounts, namely:
Increase Minimum WACC | Decrease Maximum terminal growth rate | |||||||
% | % | |||||||
Air transportation CGU | 8.5 | 1.0 |
In none of the previous cases there was an impairment of the cash generating unit.

NOTE 18 - CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES
In the period ended December 31, 2019, the income tax provision was calculated for such period, applying the partially integrated taxation system and a rate of 27%, in accordance with the Law No. 20,780 published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Chile on September 29, 2014.
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.
No deferred tax has been recorded for permanent difference, since they are caused by transactions that are recorded in the financial statements and that will not have impact on income taxes.

(1) | Covers the significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the 3-month LIBOR interest rate and the exchange rate US$/UF of bank loans. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges and fair value. |
(2) | Covers the significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the increases in the 3 months LIBOR interest rates for long-term loans incurred in the acquisition of aircraft and bank loans. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges. |
(3) | Covers significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the price of future fuel purchases. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges. |
(4) | They cover the exposure to foreign exchange risk of operating cash flows, mainly caused by the fluctuation of the CLP/US$, R$/US$, US$/EUR and US$/GBP exchange rate. These contracts are registered as cash flow hedge contracts. |
During the periods presented, the Company only has cash flow and fair value hedges (in the case of CCS). In the case of fuel hedges, the cash flows subject to such hedges will occur and will impact results in the next 12 months from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, while in the case of hedges of interest rates, these they will occur and will impact results throughout the life of the associated loans, up to their maturity. In the case of currency hedges through a CCS, there is a group of hedging relationships, in which two types of hedge accounting are generated, one of cash flow for the US $ / UF component; and another of fair value, for the floating rate component US $. The other group of hedging relationships only generates cash flow hedge accounting for the US $ / UF component.
88
All hedging operations have been performed for highly probable transactions.
Since none of the coverage resulted in the recognition of a non-financial asset, no portion of the result of the derivatives recognized in equity was transferred to the initial value of such assets.

(1) | Cumulative balances include judicial deposit delivered as security, with respect to the “Aerovía Fundo” (FA), for US$ 88 million, made in order to suspend the application of the tax credit. The Company is discussing in the Court the constitutionality of the requirement made by FA in a lawsuit. Initially it was covered by the effects of a precautionary measure, this means that the Company would not be obliged to collect the tax, as long as there is no judicial decision in this regard. However, the decision taken by the judge in the first instance was published unfavorably, revoking the injunction. As the lawsuit is still underway (TAM appealed this first decision), the Company needed to make the judicial deposit, for the suspension of the enforceability of the tax credit; deposit that was classified in this item, discounting the existing provision for this purpose. Finally, if the final decision is favorable to the Company, the deposit made will return to TAM. On the other hand, if the court confirms the first decision, said deposit will become a final payment in favor of the Government of Brazil. The procedural stage as of December 31, 2019 is described in Note 31 in the Role of the case 2001.51.01.012530-0. |

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. y Lan Cargo S.A. | European Commission. | Investigation of alleged infringements to free competition of cargo airlines, especially fuel surcharge. On December 26, 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 14, 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 9, 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$ 9,217 (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. LATAM AIRLINES GROUP, S.A. expects that the ruling by the General Court of the European Union may reduce the amount of this fine. | 9,217 |

Aerovías de Integración Regional, AIRES S.A. | United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, Florida, U.S.A.
45th Civil Court of the Bogota Circuit in Colombia. | 2013-20319 CA 01 | The July 30, 2012 Aerovías de Integración Recional, Aires S.A. (LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA) initiated a legal process in Colombia against Regional One INC and Volvo Aero Services LLC, to declare that these companies are civilly liable for moral and material damages caused to LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA arising from breach of contractual obligations of the aircraft HK- 4107.
The June 20, 2013 AIRES SA and / Or LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA was notified of the lawsuit filed in U.S. for Regional One INC and Dash 224 LLC for damages caused by the aircraft HK-4107 arguing failure of LATAM AIRLINES GROUP S.A. customs duty to obtain import declaration when the aircraft in April 2010 entered Colombia for maintenance required by Regional One. | Colombia. This case is being heard by the 45th Civil Court of the Bogota Circuit in Colombia. Statements were taken from witnesses presented by REGIONAL ONE and VAS on October 31, 2018. The court received the expert opinions requested by REGIONAL ONE and VAS and given their petition, it asked the experts to expand upon their opinions. It also changed the experts requested by LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA. The case was brought before the Court on September 10, 2018 and these rulings are pending processing so that a new hearing can be scheduled. On October 31, 2018, the judge postponed the deadline for the parties to answer the objection because of a serious error brought to light by VAS regarding the translation submitted by the expert. The process has been in the judge’s chambers since March 11, 2019 to decide on replacing the damage estimation expert as requested by LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA. The one previously appointed did not take office. A petition has also been made by VAS objecting to the translation of the documents in English into Spanish due to serious mistakes, which was served to the parties in October 2018. The 45th Civil Circuit Court issued an order on August 13, 2019 that did not decide on the pending matters but rather voided all actions since September 14, 2018 and ordered the case to be referred to the 46th Civil Circuit Court according to article 121 of the General Code of Procedure. Said article says that court decisions must be rendered in no more than one (1) year as from the service of the court order admitting the claim. If that period expires without any ruling being issued, the Judge will automatically forfeit competence over the proceedings and must give the Administrative Room of the Superior Council of the Judiciary notice of that fact the next day, in addition to referring the case file to the next sitting judge in line, who will have competence and will issue a ruling in no more than 6 months. The case was sent to the 46th Civil Circuit Court on September 4, 2019, which claims that there was a competence conflict and then sent the case to the Superior Court of Bogotá to decide which court, the 45th or 46th, had to continue with the case.
Florida. On June 4, 2019, the State Court of Florida allowed REGIONAL ONE to add a new claim against LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA for default on a verbal contract. Given the new claim, LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA petitioned that the Court postpone the trial to August 2019 to have the time to investigate the facts alleged by REGIONAL ONE to prove a verbal contract. The State Court granted the postponement of a jury trial to June 2020. In the meantime, the discovery stage continues, including verbal statements by experts on behalf of both parties. There may be some change in the committed amount, which will be reported in due course. | 12,443 |

II. | Governmental Investigations. |
1) On July 25, 2016, LATAM reached agreements with theU.S. Department of Justice(“DOJ”) and theU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding the investigation of payments for US$1,150,000 by Lan Airlines S.A. in 2006-2007 to a consultant advising it in the resolution of labor matters in Argentina.
The purpose of the investigation was to determine whether these payments violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) that: (i) forbids bribery of foreign government authorities in order to obtain a commercial advantage; and (ii) requires the companies that must abide by the FCPA to keep appropriate accounting records and implant an adequate internal control system. The FCPA is applicable to LATAM because of its ADR program in effect on the U.S. securities market.
After an exhaustive investigation, the DOJ and SEC concluded that there was no violation of the bribery provisions of the FCPA, which is consistent with the results of LATAM’s internal investigation. However, the DOJ and SEC consider that LATAM accounted for these payments incorrectly and, consequently, infringed the part of the FCPA requiring companies to keep accurate accounting records. These authorities also consider that LATAM’s internal controls in 2006-2007 were weak, so LATAM would have also violated the provisions in the FCPA requiring it to maintain an adequate internal control system.
The agreements signed, included the following:
(a) The agreement with the DOJ involves: (i) entering into a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (“DPA”), which is a public contract under which the DOJ files public charges alleging an infringement of the FCPA accounting regulations. LATAM is not obligated to answer these charges, the DOJ will not pursue them for a period of 3 years, and the DOJ will dismiss the charges after expiration of that 3-year period provided LATAM complies with all terms of the DPA. In exchange, LATAM must admit to the negotiated events described in the DPA and agree to pay the negotiated fine explained below and abide by other terms stipulated in the agreement; (ii) clauses in which LATAM admits that the payments to the consultant in Argentina were incorrectly accounted for and that at the time those payments were made (2006-2007), it did not have adequate internal controls in place; (iii) LATAM’s agreement to have an outside consultant monitor, evaluate and report to the DOJ on the effectiveness of LATAM’s compliance program for a period of 27 months; and LATAM’s agreement to continue evaluating and reporting directly to the DOJ on the effectiveness of its compliance program for a period of 9 months after the consultant’s work concludes; and (iv) LATAM paid a fine of ThUS$12,750.
124
(b) The agreement with the SEC involves: (i) accepting a Cease and Desist Order, which is an administrative resolution of the SEC closing the investigation, in which LATAM will accept certain obligations and statements of fact that are described in the document; (ii) accepting the same obligations regarding the consultant mentioned above; and (iii) LATAM paid a fine of ThUS$ 6,744 and interest of ThUS$ 2,694.
On May 15, 2019, the external consultant certified that the Anticorruption program of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. It is reasonably designed and implemented to prevent and detect violations within LATAM to anti-corruption laws.
On July 23, 2019, the DOJ approved the certification made by the consultant on May 15, 2019 regarding the Anticorruption program of LATAM Airlines Group S.A.
On January 31, 2020, the Florida Court sustained the DOJ’s motion to withdraw the criminal action filed against LATAM Airlines Group S.A. as LATAM had fulfilled all the conditions in the DPA. So, the DOJ case is closed.
2) On April 6, 2019, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. received notification of the resolution issued by the National Economic Prosecutor's Office (FNE), which begins an investigation into the LATAM Pass frequent passenger program. The last move in the cause Role No. 2530-19 leading this investigation corresponds to LATAM Airlines Group S.A. response in May 2019.
3) On July 9, 2019, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. received the resolution issued by the National Economic Prosecutor's Office (FNE), which begins an investigation into the Alliance Agreement between LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and American Airlines INC. The last move in the cause Role No. 2565-19 leading this investigation corresponds to a statement on September 11, 2019
4) On July 26, 2019, the National Consumer Service of Chile (SERNAC) issued the Ordinary Resolution No. 12,711 which proposed to initiate a collective voluntary mediation procedure on effectively informing passengers of their rights in cases of cancellation of flights or no show to boarding, as well as the obligation to return the respective boarding fees as provided by art. 133 C of the Aeronautical Code. The Company has voluntarily decided to participate in this procedure, the terms and conditions of which are being negotiated.
