Exhibit 99.1
LATAM AIRLINES GROUP REPORTS SECOND QUARTER RESULTS AND ADVANCES IN CHAPTER 11 PROCESS
Santiago, Chile, August 18, 2020 – LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (IPSA: LTM), announced today its consolidated financial results for the second quarter ending June 30, 2020. “LATAM” or “the Company” makes reference to the consolidated entity, which includes passenger and cargo airlines in Latin America. All figures were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and are expressed in U.S. dollars. The Brazilian real / U.S. dollar average exchange rate for the quarter was BRL 5.37 per USD.
Highlights
| ● | Total revenues in the second quarter of 2020 amounted to US$571.9 million, a decrease of 75.9% from the same period 2019. This decrease was driven by a 93.9% decrease in passenger revenues explained by a 93.7% decrease in capacity (measured in available seat kilometer (ASK)). Passenger revenues decline was partially offset by a 18.4% increase in cargo revenues as freighter operations increased by 28.0% responding to robust demand for cargo services during the pandemic, and an increase in other revenues of 60.7%, mainly due to the recognition of the proceeds received from Delta as part of the Framework Agreement signed in 2019. |
| ● | Total operating expenses decreased 45.6% during the second quarter to US$1,266.7 million, reflecting lower passenger operations due to the pandemic and the efforts LATAM has made to reduce its fixed costs. This includes voluntary salary reductions of 50% by the employees of all the affiliate airlines during the second quarter, as well as early retirements, unpaid leaves and layoffs. |
| ● | As a result, operating loss amounted to US$694.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, while net result amounted to a US$890.0 million loss. |
| ● | On May 26, 2020 and in light of the effects of COVID-19 on the worldwide aviation industry, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its affiliates in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States (the Debtors) filed for voluntary protection under the U.S. Chapter 11 financial reorganization laws. This reorganization process provides LATAM with an opportunity to work with the group’s creditors and other stakeholders to reduce its debt, access new sources of financing and continue operating, while enabling the group to transform its business to the new reality. |
| ● | On June 17, 2020, LATAM Airlines Argentina announced that it had ceased its operations indefinitely due to current local industry conditions, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which had left the sustainability of the operation unviable. LATAM Airlines Group and its other affiliates will continue to operate to and from Argentina, connecting passengers and cargo with destinations throughout South America and the world. |
| ● | On July 9, 2020, LATAM Airlines Brazil filed and became an additional debtor under the Chapter 11 protection of LATAM Airlines Group and its affiliates. This decision was a natural step in light of the continuing COVID-19 pandemic and enables LATAM Airlines Brazil access to the proposed DIP financing. |
| ● | After the filing of the Chapter 11, Standard & Poor’s and Fitch Ratings lowered the long term international rating of the company to D from BB-, furthermore, Moody’s also lowered it’s rating to Ca from Ba3. Later, Standard & Poor’s and Moody’s withdrew coverage of LATAM, on August 17 and May 27, 2020, respectively. |
| ● | The Company started the quarter operating 3,3% of the previous year’s capacity, as measured in ASK, averaging 6.3% of ASKs during the quarter and rising to 9.2% in July. This is mainly driven by the border closures and the travel restrictions within Latin-American countries and from Latin-American countries to the US and the European Union which have been extended more than what was originally forecasted. |
| ● | Cargo revenues increased by 18.4% in the quarter, reaching US$318.7 million, despite the strong cargo capacity decline, driven by reduced belly capacity. Cargo capacity and traffic decreased 39.6% and 15.7% respectively, resulting in a 22.1 p.p. increase of the cargo load factor. Cargo yield grew 40.4% year-over-year. As a result, revenues per ATK increased by 96.0% in comparison to the same quarter of the previous year. Freighter ATKs increased by 28.0% this quarter due to utilization improvement. Passenger adapted cargo flights represented 29.6% of the ATKs and allowed the transport of 43,000 tons. This included 72 charter flights to support the Covid-19 pandemic. |
| ● | On June 16, LATAM Airlines Brazil and Azul Brazilian Airlines announced a codeshare agreement to connect routes in their respective domestic networks in Brazil. The two carriers also signed a frequent flyer agreement, enabling 12 million TudoAzul and 37 million LATAM Pass members to earn points in the frequent flyer program of their choice. The codeshare agreement will provide customers in Brazil with a vast array of new and more convenient domestic connection opportunities. To date, 35 routes have been published under the code share that are being implemented gradually. |
MANAGEMENT COMMENTS ON THE SECOND QUARTER 2020
Since filing for Chapter 11 on May 26, 2020, LATAM Airlines Group and its affiliates have continued operating where the conditions of travel restrictions and demand permit. Travel restrictions have been gradually lifted by certain authorities, permitting certain operations to restart across the region. During the quarter, LATAM Airlines Group and its affiliates operated with limited capacity domestically and internationally, primarily from Chile and Brazil. On June 15th, LATAM Airlines Ecuador was authorized to restart its domestic operations, while on July 15th, LATAM Airlines Peru also resumed domestic flights. It is expected that LATAM Airlines Colombia will restart its domestic operations in September and that international travel restrictions for Argentina, Colombia and Peru will be gradually lifted in the months to come.
Travel demand, however, continues to be severely depressed, and there is no certainty regarding when demand will recover.
LATAM expects to exit the Chapter 11 process with a significant decrease in its fleet size. In order to right-size its fleet, the group has rejected to date 23 aircrafts’ leasing contracts and is in the process of rejecting 9 more out of the 340 aircrafts that were part of its fleet at the commencement of this process. To that end, the group is in active discussions with its financial and operating lessors regarding interim and long-term solutions. The group has been advancing on a payment-by-hour plan for the fleet, both under operating and financial leasing, which had been widely and gradually accepted since the beginning of June.
Furthermore, and in line with the efforts to preserve liquidity, LATAM Airlines Group and its affiliates proposed their respective employees a voluntary salary reduction of 25% for executives and 20% generally for July, August and September, which was accepted by approximately 95% of the group’s total employees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the quarter, headcount for the group decreased by 5,500 employees since the end of March 2020, ending the quarter with 37,053 employees. As of today, August 18, LATAM Airlines Group total headcount reaches 29,957 employees, which amounts to a total reduction of 7,096 employees since the end of the second quarter.
One of the important milestones of this process is securing the necessary financing to continue operating while the group restructures its capital structure, together with creditors and other relevant stakeholders. As of this date, LATAM has secured a commitment for US$2.2 bn of Debtor in Possession, DIP Financing, consisting of a three-tranche structure:
(i) Tranche A: Seeks to raise up to US$1.3 bn. It is the senior-most tranche within the DIP and targets financial institutions, which will receive the payment for their investment (plus accrued interest) at the time of the Chapter 11 exit. Currently, Oaktree Capital Management LLC and its subsidiaries have agreed to subscribe the entire Tranche A.
(ii) Tranche B: Seeks to raise up to US$750 million. It has lower seniority than Tranche A but higher than Tranche C. This tranche targets the financing that governments can commit, either directly or indirectly. Like the investors in Tranche A, they will receive the payment for their investment (plus accrued interest) at the time of the Chapter 11 exit. Currently, there is no commitment from any government for this tranche.
(iii) Tranche C: Seeks to raise up to US$1.15 bn. It is the most junior of the three tranches and is being offered to current shareholders of LATAM. Shareholders or their affiliates extending new financing in this tranche (“Tranche C Lenders”) will be repaid (plus accrued interest) at the company’s option upon its exit from Chapter 11 in free cash at a certain rate or in locked-in cash at a higher rate which is required for immediate, mandatory subscription of shares in the reorganized company, provided, further, that in the event that the company elects to require such mandatory subscription, the Tranche C Lenders will be subject to a 15-month minimum hold period. Currently, Costa Verde, Qatar Airways (represented by QA Investments Limited and QA Investments Limited 2), and Eblen Group (represented by Louzy S.A.) have committed for US$0.9 bn of this tranche, which can be upsized by US$0.25 bn to US$ 1.15 bn.
As of the time of publication, Court approval for the mentioned Debtor in Possession Financing remains pending.
LATAM is simultaneously focused on crafting its reorganization plan, which will create the roadmap for the group’s exit from the process
In this context, the group is fully focused on overcoming this crisis and restructuring the group in order to thrive in a post-COVID world, making LATAM a more agile, resilient and sustainable group of airlines in the long term.
management discussion and analysis of SECOND Quarter 2020 Results
Total revenues in the second quarter 2020 totaled US$571.9 million, compared to US$2,370.0 million in second quarter 2019. The 75.9% decline was composed by a 93.9% decrease in passenger revenues, offset by a 18.4% increase in cargo revenues and a 60.7% increase in other revenues. Passenger and cargo revenues accounted for 21.5% and 55.7% of the total operating revenue of the quarter, respectively.
Passenger revenues decreased 93.9% during the quarter as a result of a 96.1% decrease in traffic (measured in RPK), which resulted from a reduction of 96.2% in the total number of passengers carried. Yield during the quarter rose by 56.3%, while load factor reached 51.6%, representing a decline of 31.7 p.p. compared with the same quarter last year. As a result, revenues per ASK (RASK) declined 3.2%. The decline in passenger revenues is the result of the quarantines, travel restrictions and less willingness to travel from individuals.
Cargo revenues increased by 18.4% in the quarter, reaching US$318.7 million, mainly driven by the change of the competitive environment due to the COVID-19 crisis and the contribution of our 11 freighters, which have increased their utilization adding more frequencies and destinations, in addition to cargo flights made by passenger aircraft. During the quarter, LATAM’s cargo affiliates operated more special cargo flights, including the first flights to China.
Other revenues totaled US$130.2 million in the second quarter of 2020, an increase of US$49.2 million compared to the same period of last year. This year-over-year increase is mainly due to the recognition of the Transition Support Payments received from Delta as part of the Framework Agreement signed in 2019 and partially offset by lower revenues related to LATAM Travel services due to the COVID-19 pandemic and fewer aircraft under sublease with third parties.
Total operating expenses in the second quarter amounted to US$1,266.7 million, a 45.6% reduction compared to the same period of 2019 mainly due to the 93.7% reduction in total passenger capacity. Changes in operating expenses were mainly explained by:
| ● | Wages and benefits decreased 59.7%, explained by the voluntary salary reduction of 50% agreed by more than 90% of the employees which resulted in savings of US$95.0 million, along with a general depreciation of the local currencies in the region and with a 2.7% decline in the average headcount during the quarter as compared with the previous year. |
| ● | Fuel costs declined 89.3%, as a result of a 93.7% reduction in total passenger capacity and a subsequent decline in 77.9% of total gallons consumed, along with a decline of 49.7% of the fuel price (excluding hedge) during the quarter as compared with the same period last year. This was partially offset by a 28.0% year over year increase in freighter capacity. |
| ● | Commissions to agents decreased 88.8% compared with the second quarter last year, in line with a decrease of passenger traffic. |
| ● | Depreciation and amortization decreased by 12.8% due to a decrease in maintenance depreciation derived from a lower level of operations. |
| ● | Other rental and landing fees decreased by 62.6%, mainly due to a decrease in aeronautical rates and ground handling operations derived from the reduction of the operation during this period. |
| ● | Passenger service expenses decreased by 72.0% explained by a 96.2% decrease in the number of passengers carried partially offset by a smaller decline in the cost on contingencies. |
| ● | Maintenance expenses increased by US$32.0 million year-over-year, explained mainly by an increase in costs derived from aircraft preservation measures and aircraft parking. |
| ● | Other operating expenses increased by US$135.3 million year-over-year, mainly as a result of the costs arising from the cancellation of projects and the acceleration of the LATAM XP project which encompasses the digital transformation of the company. |
Non-operating results
| ● | Interest income amounted to US$6.0 million, a decline from US$6.3 million from the last year mainly explained by a decline on the interest rates. |
| ● | Interest expense decreased 9.2% to US$128.8 million in the second quarter 2020, from US$141.8 million in the same period of 2019, due to a lower interest rate and a year-over-year reduction of US$965 million in financial debt. |
| ● | Under Other income (expense), the Company registered a US$433.6 million net loss, due to US$255 million in severance expenses and to US$222 million arising from the rejection of aircrafts. |
Net loss in the second quarter amounted to US$890.0 million, compared with US$62.8 million loss in the same period of 2019, mainly explained by the decline in the operating income derived from the COVID-19 pandemic.
LIQUIDITY AND FINANCING
By the end of the quarter, LATAM´s financial debt amounted to US$6.8 billion, a US$803.6 million decrease compared to previous quarter, while leverage reached 5.8x from 4.0x in March 2020.
At the end of the second quarter 2020, LATAM reported US$1,422 million in cash and cash equivalents, including certain highly liquid investments accounted as other current financial assets. Between March and April 2020, the company drew the totality of the US$600 million in the revolving credit facility.
The company did not enter into any hedges during the second quarter 2020.
CHAPTER 11 MILESTONES
On May 26, 2020 and in light of the effects of COVID-19 on the worldwide aviation industry, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its affiliates in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States (the Debtors) filed for voluntary protection under the U.S. Chapter 11 financial reorganization statute. This reorganization process provides LATAM with an opportunity to work with the group’s creditors and other stakeholders to reduce its debt, access new sources of financing and continue operating, while enabling the group to transform its business to the new reality.
Numerous hearings have been held before the Honorable Judge Garrity at the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, wherein the debtors have requested authority to, among other things, continue to make ordinary course payments, continue to pay employee payroll and to reject prepetition contracts (including aircraft leasing contracts), which have all been approved by the court subject to certain limitations. The next omnibus hearings are scheduled for August 19, 2020 and September 23, 2020.
On July 9, 2020, LATAM Airlines Brazil, adhered to the same voluntary reorganization Chapter 11 process of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its affiliates in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States in order to restructure its debt and effectively manage its aircraft fleet, while enabling operational continuity.
The Debtors have or will periodically file with the Bankruptcy Court certain schedules and statements of financial affairs setting forth, among other things, the assets and liabilities of the Debtors (the “Statements and Schedules”). The Statements and Schedules are prepared according to the requirements of applicable bankruptcy law and are subject to further amendment or modification by the Debtors.
Although these materials provide the information required under the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Court, they are nonetheless unaudited and prepared in a format different from the consolidated financial reports historically prepared by LATAM in accordance with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). Certain information contained in the Statements and Schedules may be prepared on an unconsolidated basis. Accordingly, the substance and format of the Statements and Schedules may not allow meaningful comparison with LATAM’s regularly publicly disclosed consolidated financial statements. Moreover, the Statements and Schedules required and filed with the Bankruptcy Court are not prepared for the purpose of providing a basis for an investment decision relating to the Debtors’ securities, or claims against the Debtors, or for comparison with other financial information required to be reported under applicable securities law.
LATAM FLEET PLAN
Given the filing for voluntary reorganization and restructuring of their debt under Chapter 11 protection in the United States, LATAM is currently evaluating the adequate fleet needs for the following years.
CONFERENCE CALL
Given the filing for voluntary reorganization and restructuring of their debt under Chapter 11 protection in the United States, the Company will not be hosting a conference call after the results publication.
LATAM filed its quarterly financial statements for the three-month period ended June 30, 2020 with the Comisión para el Mercado Financiero of Chile on August 18, 2020. These financial statements will be available in Spanish and English languages at http://www.latamairlinesgroup.net.
