REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
(Free translation from the original in Spanish)
Santiago, March 14, 2018
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 statement of financial position as at December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the corresponding notes to the consolidate 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.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following describes the principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.
2.1. | Basis of Preparation |
The consolidated financial statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. for the period ended December 31, 2017, have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) incorporated therein and with the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historic-cost criterion, although modified by the valuation at fair value of certain financial instruments.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to use its judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. Note 4 shows the areas that imply a greater degree of judgment or complexity or the areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements.
During 2016 the Company recorded out of period adjustments resulting in an aggregate net decrease of US$ 18.2 million to “Net income (loss) for the period” for the year ended December 31, 2016. These adjustments include US$ 39.5 million (loss) resulting from an account reconciliation process initiated after the Company’s afiliate TAM S.A. and its subsidiaries completed the implementation of the SAP system. A further US$ 11.0 million (loss) reflect adjustments related to foreign exchange differences, also relating to the Company’s subsidiaries in Brazil. The balance of US$ 32.3 million (gain) includes principally the adjustment of unclaimed fees for expired tickets for the Company and its affiliates outside Brazil. Management of TAM S.A. has concluded that the out of period adjustments that have been identified are material to the 2015 financial statements of TAM S.A., which should therefore require a restatement in Brazil. However, Management of LATAM has evaluated the impact of all out of period adjustments, both individually and in the aggregate, and concluding that due to their relative size and to qualitative factors they are not material to the annual consolidated financial statements for 2016 of Latam Airlines Group S.A. or to any previously reported consolidated financial statements, therefore no restatement or revision is necessary.
In order to facilitate comparison, some minor reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the previous year.

IFRIC 22: Foreign currency transactions and advance consideration | December 2016 | 01/01/2018 |
IFRIC 23: Uncertain tax positions | June 2017 | 01/01/2019 |
The Company’s management believes that the adoption of the standards, amendments and interpretations described above but not yet effective would not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the year of their first application, except for IFRS 15 and IFRS 16:
(1) | IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers supersedes actual standard for revenue recognition that actually uses the Company, as IAS 18 Revenue and IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes. The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standards supersedes IFRS 15 supersedes, IAS 11 Construction Contracts, IAS 18 Revenue, IFRIC 13 Customer Loyalty Programmes, IFRIC 15 Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate, IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers; and SIC-31 Revenue - Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. |
8
The Company evaluated the possible adoption impacts that this new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and has identified changes in: i) the recognition of the income associated with the fines for changes, which were previously recognized at the time of the sale and now will be considered as a modification of the initial transport contract and therefore the recognition must be deferred until the rendering of the service; ii) the moment of recognition of the income from the sale of some services or products, where the Company concluded that it acted as principal, and therefore the revenues must be deferred until the service is rendered; and iii) the presentation of the income associated with the sale of products, where the Company concluded that it acted as agent and therefore the income must be presented net of the associated costs.
As of December 31, 2017, the effect of the changes indicated above As of December 31, 2017, the effect of the changes indicated above will not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the year of its first adoption.
(2) | The IFRS 16 Leases add important changes in the accounting for lessees by introducing a similar treatment to financial leases for all operating leases with a term of more than 12 months. This mean, in general terms, that an asset should be recognized for the right to use the underlying leased assets and a liability representing its present value of payments associate to the agreement. Monthly leases payments will be replace by the asset depreciation and a financial cost in the income statement. |
We are evaluating the impact that the adoption of the new lease rule will have on the consolidated financial statements. Currently, we believe that the adoption of this new standard will have a significant impact on the consolidated statement of financial position due to the recording of an asset for right of use and a liability, corresponding to the recording of the leases that are currently registered as operating leases.
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries are still assessing this standard to determinate the effect on their Financial Statements, covenants and other financial indicators.
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.
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.
9
(b) | Transactions with non-controlling interests |
The Company 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.
(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.
10
(c) | Group entities |
The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency other than the presentation currency are translated to the presentation currency as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities of each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing exchange rate on the consolidated statement of financial position date;
(ii) The revenues and expenses of each income statement account are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates, and
(iii) All the resultant exchange differences by conversion are shown as a separate component in other comprehensive income.
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.
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 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.
11
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, in accordance with the premises that are applicable, included as follows:
Airport slots – Air transport CGU
Loyalty program – Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus CGU
(See Note 16)
The airport slots correspond to an administrative authorization to carry out operations of arrival and departure of aircraft at a specific airport, within a specified period.
The Loyalty program corresponds to the system of accumulation and redemption of points that has developed Multiplus S.A., subsidiary of TAM S.A.
The Brands, airport Slots and Loyalty program were recognized in fair values determined in accordance with IFRS 3, as a consequence of the business combination with TAM and Subsidiaries.
(b) | Computer software |
Licenses for computer software acquired are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred in acquiring them and preparing them for using the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives, for which the Company has 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 costs 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 change 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 orassociateon 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.
12
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. Other interest costs are recognized in the consolidated income statement when they are accrued.
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 testing for impairment. Assets subject to amortization are subjected to impairment tests whenever any event or change in circumstances indicates that the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when the book value is greater than the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In evaluating the impairment, the assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable (CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have suffered an impairment loss are reviewed if there are indicators of reverse losses at each reporting date.
2.9. | Financial assets |
The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at the time of initial recognition, which occurs on the date of transaction.
(a) | Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss |
Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are financial instruments held for trading and those which have been designated at fair value through profit or loss in their initial classification. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired mainly for the purpose of being sold in the near future or when these assets are managed and measured using fair value. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. The financial assets in this category and have been designated initial recognition through profit or loss, are classified as Cash and cash equivalents and Other current financial assets and those designated as instruments held for trading are classified as Other current and non-current financial assets.
(b) | Loans and receivables |
Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments not traded on an active market. These items are classified in current assets except for those with maturity over 12 months from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other accounts receivable in the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 2.12).
The regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or losses are initially recognized at fair value, and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.
13
The financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.
At the date of each consolidated statement of financial position, the Company assesses if there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may have suffered an impairment loss.
2.10. | Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities |
Derivatives are booked initially at fair value on the date the derivative contracts are signed and later they continue to be valued at their fair value. The method for booking the resultant loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and if so, the nature of the item 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.
14
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.
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 instruments mature or are sold or when they do not 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 |
Trade accounts receivable are shown initially at their fair value and later at their amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method, less the allowance for impairment losses. An allowance for impairment loss of trade accounts receivable is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover all the amounts due according to the original terms of the accounts receivable.
The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor, the probability that the debtor is entering bankruptcy or financial reorganization and the default or delay in making payments are considered indicators that the receivable has been impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The book value of the asset is reduced by the amount of the allowance and the loss is shown in the consolidated statement of income in Cost of sales. When an account receivable is written off, it is charged to the allowance account for accounts receivable.
15
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 expense by current tax is comprised of income and deferred taxes.
The charge for current tax is calculated based on tax laws in force on the date of statement of financial position, in the countries in which the subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.
Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values. However, if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a transaction different from a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting result or the tax gain or loss, they are not booked. The deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the consolidated financial statements close, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability discharged.
16
Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which tocompensate the temporary differences.
The tax (current and deferred) is recognized in income by function, unless it relates to an item recognized in other comprehensive income, directly in equity or from business combination. In that case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income, directly in income by function or goodwill, respectively.
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 taking into account 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 Companyhas 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. |
17
2.20. | Revenue recognition |
Revenues include the fair value of the proceeds received or to be received on sales of goods and rendering services in the ordinary course of the Company’s business. Revenues are shown net of refunds, rebates and discounts.
(a) | Rendering of services |
(i) | Passenger and cargo transport |
The Company shows revenue from the transportation of passengers and cargo once the service has been provided.
Consistent with the foregoing, the Company presents the deferred revenues, generated by anticipated sale of flight tickets and freight services, in heading other non - financial liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.
(ii) | Frequent flyer program |
The Company currently has a frequent flyer programs, whose objective is customer loyalty through the delivery of kilometers or points fly whenever the programs holders make certain flights, use the services of entities registered with the program or make purchases with an associated credit card. The kilometers or points earned can be exchanged for flight tickets or other services of associated entities.
The consolidated financial statements include liabilities for this concept (deferred income), according to the estimate of the valuation established for the kilometers or points accumulated pending use at that date, in accordance with IFRIC 13: Customer loyalty programs.
(iii) | Other revenues |
The Company records revenues for other services when these have been provided.
(b) | Dividend income |
Dividend income is booked when the right to receive the payment is established.
2.21. | Leases |
(a) | When the Company is the lessee – financial lease |
The Company leases certain Property, plant and equipment in which it has substantially all the risk and benefits deriving from the ownership; they are therefore classified as financial leases. Financial leases are initially recorded at the lower of the fair value of the asset leased and the present value of the minimum lease payments.
Every lease payment is separated between the liability component and the financial expenses so as to obtain a constant interest rate over the outstanding amount of the debt. The corresponding leasing obligations, net of financial charges, are included in other financial liabilities. The element of interest in the financial cost is charged to the consolidated statement of income over the lease period so that it produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each year. The asset acquired under a financial lease is depreciated over its useful life and is included in Property, plant and equipment.
18
(b) | When the Company is the lessee – operating lease |
Leases, in which the lessor retains an important part of the risks and benefits deriving from ownership, are classified as operating leases. Payments with respect to operating leases (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are charged in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
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 own aircraft or under financial leases, these maintenance cost are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of aircraft under operating leases, 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 leases establish the obligation of the lessee to make deposits to the lessor as a guarantee of compliance with the 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.
19
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, 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, 2017, the Company recognized gains of US $ 15.1 million for fuel net premium coverage. During the same period of 2016, the Company recognized losses of US $ 48.0 million for the same concept.
As of December 31, 2017, the market value of fuel positions amounted to US $ 10.7 million (positive). At the end of December 2016, this market value was US $ 8.1 million (positive).
20
The following tables show the level of hedge for different periods:
Positions as of December 31, 2017 (*) | Maturities | ||||||||||||
Q118 | Q218 | Q318 | Total | ||||||||||
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption | 19 | % | 12 | % | 5 | % | 12 | % |
(*) The volume shown in the table considers all the hedging instruments (swaps and options).
Positions as of December 31, 2016 (*) | Maturities | ||||||
Q117 | Q217 | Total | |||||
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption | 21 | % | 16 | % | 18 | % |
(*) 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 2018.
The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$ 5 per barrel in the curve of the BRENT and JET crude futures benchmark price at the end of December 2017 and the end of December, 2016.
Positions as of December 31, 2017 | Positions as of December 31, 2016 | |||
Benchmark price | effect on equity | effect on equity | ||
(US$ per barrel) | (millions of US$) | (millions of US$) | ||
+5 | +1.8 | +3.12 | ||
-5 | - 3.3 | -4.78 |
Given the structure of fuel coverage during 2017, 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 $ 109.7 million of lower fuel costs. For the same period, a vertical rise of $ 5 in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly average) would have meant an impact of approximately US $ 110.5 million of higher fuel costs.
21
(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 nuevo 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.
FX Hedging Results:
In order to reduce the exposure to the exchange rate risk in the operational cash flows of 2017, and to ensure the operating margin, LATAM makes hedges using FX derivatives.
As of December 31, 2017, the market value of FX derivative positions amounted to US $ 4.4 million (positive). At the end of December 2016, this market value was US $ 1.1 million (negative).
During the period ended December 31, 2017, the Company recognized losses of US $ 9.7 million for FX net premium coverage. During the same period of 2016, the company recognized losses of US $ 40.3 million for this concept.
As of December 31, 2017, the Company has contracted FX derivatives for US $ 180 million for BRL. By the end of December 2016, the company had contracted FX derivatives for US $ 60 million for BRL, and US $ 10 million for GBP.
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.
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.
22
The following table shows the awareness of FX derivative instruments according to reasonable changes in the exchange rate and its effect on equity. The projection term was defined until the end of the last contract of coverage in force, being the last business day of the second quarter of the year 2018:
Appreciation (depreciation)* | Effect at December 31, 2017 | Effect at December 31, 2016 | |
of R$ | Millions of US$ | Millions of US$ | |
-10% | -10.7 | -1.02 | |
+10% | +9.7 | +3.44 |
(*)Both currencies (BRL and GBP) only apply period to the closing of 2016.
During 2017, the Company contracted derivative currency swaps to hedge debt issued the same year for a notional UF 8.7 million. As of December 31, 2017, the market value of derivative positions of currency swaps amounted to US$ 30.6 million (positive).
As of December 31, 2017, the Company has recorded an amount for ineffectiveness in the consolidated statement of income for this type of hedges for US $ 6.2 million (positive).
In the case of TAM S.A, whose functional currency is the Brazilian real, a large part of its liabilities are expressed in US dollars. Therefore, when converting financial assets and liabilities, from dollars to reais, they have an impact on the result of TAM S.A., which is consolidated in the Company’s Income Statement.
With the objective of reducing the impact on the Company’s results 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, 2017 | Effect at December 31, 2016 | |
of R$/US$ | Millons of US$ | Millons of US$ | |
-10% | +80.5 | +119.2 | |
+10% | -80.5 | -119.2 |
(*) Appreciation (depreciation) of US$ regard to the covered currencies.
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).
23
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, 2017 | Effect at December 31, 2016 | ||
of R$/US$ | Millions of US$ | Millions of US$ | ||
-10% | +386.62 | +351.04 | ||
+10% | -316.33 | -287.22 |
(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 (“ILC”).
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 63% (63% at December 31, 2016) of the debt is fixed to fluctuations in interest rate.
Rate Hedging Results:
At December 31, 2017, the market value of the positions of interest rate derivatives amounted to US$ 6.6 million (negative). At end of December 2016 this market value was US$ 17.2 million (negative).
24
Sensitivity analysis:
The following table shows the sensitivity of changes in financial obligations that are not hedged against interest-rate variations. These changes are considered reasonably possible, based on current market conditions each date.
Increase (decrease) | Positions as of December 31, 2017 | Positions as of December 31, 2016 | ||
futures curve | effect on profit or loss before tax | effect on profit or loss before tax | ||
in libor 3 months | (millions of US$) | (millions of US$) | ||
+100 basis points | -29.26 | -32.16 | ||
-100 basis points | +29.26 | +32.16 |
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) | Positions as of December 31, 2017 | Positions as of December 31, 2016 | ||
futures curve | effect on equity | effect on equity | ||
in libor 3 months | (millions of US$) | (millions of US$) | ||
+100 basis points | +1.9 | +3.93 | ||
-100 basis points | -1.9 | -4.03 |
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.
25
(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.
26
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.
(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, 2017 is US$ 1,614 million (US$ 1,486 million at December 31, 2016), invested in short term instruments through financial high credit rating levels entities.
In addition to the liquid funds, the Company has access to short term credit line. As of December 31, 2017, LATAM has working capital credit lines with multiple banks and additionally has a US$ 450 million undrawn committed credit line (US$ 325 million at December 31, 2016) subject to borrowing base availability.

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 2016, the Company provided US$ 30.2 million in derivative margin guarantees, for cash and stand-by letters of credit. At December 31, 2017, the Company had provided US$ 16.4 million in guarantees for Cash and cash equivalent and stand-by letters of credit. The decrease was due at: i) maturity of hedge contracts, ii) acquire of new fuel purchase contracts, and iii) changes in fuel prices, exchange rate 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, 2017 the Company has an international long term credit rating of BB- with stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s, a B+ rating with stable outlook by Fitch Ratings and a B1 rating with stable outlook by Moody’s.
3.3. | Estimates of fair value. |
At December 31, 2017, 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. |
34
2. | Financial Investments: |
This category includes the following instruments:
- | Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent), |
- | Private investment funds. |
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.
NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Company has used estimates to value and record certain assets, liabilities, revenue, expenditure, and commitments. Basically, these estimates relate to:
(a) Evaluation of possible losses through impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life.
36
As of December 31, 2017, the capital gain amounts to ThUS $ 2,672,550 (ThUS $ 2,710,382 as of December 31, 2016), while the intangible assets comprise the Airport Slots for ThUS $ 964,513 (ThUS $ 978,849 as of December 31, 2016) and Loyalty Program for ThUS $ 321,440 (ThUS $ 326,262 as of December 31, 2016).
The Company checks at least once a year whether goodwill and intangible assets with an indefinite useful life have suffered an impairment loss. For this evaluation, the Company has identified two cash generating units (CGU), “Air transport” and “Multiplus coalition and loyalty program”. The book value of the surplus value assigned to each CGU as of December 31, 2017 amounted to ThUS $ 2,146,692 and ThUS $ 525,858 (ThUS $ 2,176,634 and ThUS $ 533,748 as of December 31, 2016), which include the following Intangible assets of indefinite useful life:
Air Transport CGU | Coalition and loyalty Program Multiplus CGU | |||||||||||||||
As of December 31, 2017 | As of December 31, 2016 | As of December 31, 2017 | As of December 31, 2016 | |||||||||||||
ThUS$ | ThUS$ | ThUS$ | ThUS$ | |||||||||||||
Airport Slots | 964,513 | 978,849 | — | — | ||||||||||||
Loyalty program | — | — | 321,440 | 326,262 |
The recoverable value of these cash-generating units (CGUs) has been determined based on calculations of their value in use. The principal assumptions used by the management include: growth rate, exchange rate, discount rate, fuel prices, and other economic assumptions. 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 mainly 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).
37
(c) Recoverability of deferred tax assets
Deferred taxes are calculated according to the liability method, on the temporary differences that arise between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts. Deferred tax assets on tax losses are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future tax benefits will be available with which to offset the temporary differences. The Company makes financial and fiscal projections to evaluate the realization in time of this deferred tax asset. Additionally, it ensures that these projections are consistent with those used to measure other long-lived assets. As of December 31, 2017, the Company has recognized deferred tax assets of ThUS $ 364,021 (ThUS $ 384,580 as of December 31, 2016) and has ceased to recognize deferred tax assets on tax losses of ThUS $ 81,155 (ThUS $ 115,801). December 31, 2016) (Note 18).
(d) Air tickets sold that are not actually used.
The Company register advance sales of tickets as deferred revenue. Revenue from ticket sales is recognized in the income statement when the service is provided or when the tickets expires unused, reducing the corresponding deferred revenue. The Company evaluates monthly the probability that tickets expiry unused, based on the history of used tickets. Changes in the exchange probability would have an impact our revenue in the year in which the change occurs and in future years. As of December 31, 2017, deferred revenue associated with air tickets sold amounted to ThUS$ 1,550,447 (ThUS$ 1,535,229 as of December 31, 2016). An hypothetical change of 1% in passenger behavior regarding to the ticket usage, that is, if during the next six months after sells probability of used were 89% rather than 90%, as we consider, it would lead to a change in the expiry period from six to seven months, which, would have an impact of up to ThUS$ 20,000 in the results of 2017.
(e) Valuation of loyalty points and kilometers granted to loyalty program members, pending usage.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company operated the following loyalty programs: LATAM Pass, LATAM Fidelidade and Multiplus, with the objective of enhancing customer loyalty by offering points or kilometers (see Note 22).
The members of these programs accumulate kilometers when they fly with LATAM Airlines Group or any other airline member of the onewordl® program, as well as use the services of the associated entities.
When kilometers and points are redeemed for products and services other than the services provided by the Company, revenue is recognized immediately; when they are redeemed for air tickets on airlines from to LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries, revenue is deferred until the transport service is provided or the corresponding tickets expired.
Deferred revenue from loyalty programs at the closing date corresponds to the valuation of points and kilometers granted to loyalty program members, pending of use, weighted by the probability to be redeemed.
According to IFRIC-13, kilometers and points value that the Company estimate are not likely to be redeemed (“breakage”), they recognize the associated value proportionally during the period in which the remaining kilometers or points are expected to be redeemed. The Company uses statistical models to estimate the breakage, based on historical redemption patterns Changes in the breakage would have a significant impact on our revenue in the year in which the change occurs and in future years.
38
As of December 31, 2017, the deferred revenue associated with the LATAM Pass loyalty program amounts to ThUS $ 853,505 (ThUS $ 896,190 as of December 31, 2016). A hypothetical change of one percentage point in the exchange probability would result in an impact as of December 31, 2017 of ThUS $ 25,000 (ThUS $ 30,632 as of December 31, 2016). While the deferred revenues associated with the loyalty programs LATAM Fidelidade and Multiplus amount to ThUS $ 364,866 (ThUS $ 392,107 as of December 31, 2016). A hypothetical change of two percentage points in the number of points pending to be exchanged would result in an impact as of December 31, 2017 of ThUS $ 16,700 (ThUS $ 14,639 as of December 31, 2016).
The fair value of kilometers and other associated components are determined by the Company on the basis of fair value analysis of them past. As of December 31, 2017 a hypothetical change of one percentage point in the fair value of the unused kilometers would result in an impact of ThUS$ 8,000 in 2017 (ThUS$ 8,400 in 2016).
(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) 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 insuring 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.
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.
39
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
The Company has determined that it has two operating segments: the air transportation business and the coalition and loyalty program Multiplus.
The Air transport segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and it is based on the way that the business is run and managed, according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to open and close routes and reallocate resources (aircraft, crew, staff, etc..) within the network, which is a functional relationship between all of them, making them inseparable. This segment definition is the most common level used by the global airline industry.
The segment of loyalty coalition called Multiplus, unlike LATAM Pass and LATAM Fidelidade, is a frequent flyer programs which operate as a unilateral system of loyalty that offers a flexible coalition system, interrelated among its members, with 19.4 million of members, along with being a regulated entity with a separately business and not directly related to air transport.

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.
Historic and current re-negotiations are not relevant and the policy is to analyze case by case in order to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining whether it is appropriate to re-classify accounts to pre-judicial recovery. If such re-classification is justified, an allowance is made for the account, whether overdue or falling due.
The maximum credit-risk exposure at the date of presentation of the information is the fair value of each one of the categories of accounts receivable indicated above.

(*) 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.
As of December 31, 2017, maintenance reserves total ThUS $ 73,341 (ThUS $ 141,751 as of December 31, 2016), corresponding to 14 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)

(1) | In 2016, after the extensive work of integration after the association between LAN and TAM, during which there has been solid progress in the homologation of the optimization processes of its air connections, in addition to the restructuring and modernization of the fleet of aircraft, the Company has resolved adopt a unique name and identity, and announce that the brand of the group will be LATAM “, which would unite all companies under a single image. |
Given the above, we have proceeded to review the brands useful life, concluding that these should go from an indefinite to defined useful life. The estimated new useful life is 5 years, equivalent to the period for finishing all the image changes necessary.
(2) | See Note 2.5 |

The Company has two cash- generating units (CGUs), “Air transportation” and, “Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus”. The CGU “Air transport” considers the transport of passengers and cargo, both in the domestic markets of Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil, and in a developed series of regional and international routes in America, Europe and Oceania, while the CGU “Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus” works with an integrated network associated companies in Brazil.
The recoverable amounts of cash-generating units have been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations require the use of expected cash flows, 5 years after tax, which are based on the budget approved by the Board. Cash flows beyond the budget period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates, which do not exceed the average rates of long-term growth.
Management establish rates for annual growth, discount, inflation and exchange for each cash generating, as well as fuel prices, based on their key assumptions. The annual growth rate is based on past performance and management’s expectations over market developments in each country where it operates. The discount rates used are in American Dollars for the CGU “Air transportation” and Brazilian Reals for CGU “Program coalition loyalty Multiplus”, both after taxes and reflect specific risks related to each country where the Company operates. Inflation and exchange rates are based on available data for each country and the information provided by the Central Bank of each country, and the fuel price is determined based on estimated production levels, competitive environment market in which they operate and its business strategy.

As of December 31, 2017 the recoverable values were determined using the following assumptions presented below:
Air transportation CGU | Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus CGU (2) | |||||||||||
Annual growth rate (Terminal) | % | 1.0 - 2.0 | 4.0 - 5.0 | |||||||||

Discount rate based on cost of equity (Ke) | % | — | 12.4 - 13.4 | |||||||||
Fuel Price from futures price curves commodities markets | US$/barrel | 73-78 | — |
(1) In line with the expectations of the Central Bank of Brazil
(2) The flow, as well as annual growth rte and discount, are denominated in real.
The result of the impairment test, which includes a sensitivity analysis of the main variables, showed that the estimated recoverable amount is higher than carrying value of the book value of net assets allocated to the cash generating unit, and therefore impairment was not detected.
CGU’s are sensitive to rates for annual growth, discount and exchanges rates. The sensitivity analysis included the individual impact of changes in estimates critical in determining the recoverable amounts, namely:
Increase Maximum WACC | Increase Maximum CoE | Decrease Minimum terminal growth rate | ||||||||||
% | % | % | ||||||||||
Air transportation CGU | 8.55 | — | 1.0 | |||||||||
Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus CGU | — | 13.4 | 4.0 |
In none of the previous cases impairment in the cash- generating unit was presented.
As of December 31, 2017, no signs of deterioration have been identified for the CGU Multiplus Coalition and Loyalty Program and for the UGE Transporte Aéreo that require a deterioration test.

NOTE 18 - CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES
In the period ended December 31, 2017, the income tax provision was calculated for such period, applying the rate of 25.5% for the business year 2017, in accordance with the Law No. 20,780 published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Chile on September 29, 2014.
Among the main changes is the progressive increase of the First Category Tax which will reach 27% in 2018 if the “Partially Integrated Taxation System” is chosen. Alternatively, if the Company chooses the “Attributed Income Taxation System” the top rate would reach 25% in 2017.
As LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is a public company, by default it must choose the “Partially Integrated Taxation System”, unless a future Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders of the Company agrees, by a minimum of 2/3 of the votes, to choose the “Attributed Income Taxation System”. This decision was taken in the last quarter of 2016.
On February 8, 2016, an amendment to the abovementioned Law was issued (as Law 20,899) stating, as its main amendments, that Companies such Latam Airlines Group S.A. had to mandatorily choose the “Partially Integrated Taxation System” and could not elect to use the other system.
The Partially Integrated Taxation System is based on the taxation by the perception of profits and the Attributed Income Taxation System is based on the taxation by the accrual of profits.

Assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if there is a legal right to offset the assets and liabilities always correspond to the same entity and tax authority.

(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) | Covers the foreign exchange risk exposure of operating cash flows caused mainly by fluctuations in the exchange rate R$/US$, US$/EUR and US$/GBP. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges. |

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 3 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.
During the periods presented, no hedging operations of future highly probable transaction that have not been realized have occurred.
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.
The amounts recognized in comprehensive income during the period and transferred from net equity to income are as follows:

(1) | Cumulative balances include judicial deposit delivered as security, with respect to the “Aerovía Fundo” (FA), for US $ 100 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.

Variglog also filed a petition in Switzerland for recognition of the decision declaring its condition of being in judicial recovery, and subsequently, of being declared in bankruptcy. The Brazilian courts approved the AAI settlement and Variglog’s bankruptcy on April 11, 2016, which were confirmed by those courts on September 21, 2016. The final decision approving the agreement was certified September 23, 2016. US$8.9 million have been recovered thus far to date, leaving a balance of US$2.08 million pending.

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 26th , 2007, the General Directorate for Competition of the European Commission notified Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. the instruction process against twenty five cargo airlines, including Lan Cargo S.A., for alleged breaches of competition in the air cargo market in Europe, especially the alleged fixed fuel surcharge and freight. | On April 14th, 2008, the notification of the European Commission was replied. The appeal was filed on January 24, 2011. On May 11, 2015, we attended a hearing at which we petitioned for the vacation of the Decision based on discrepancies in the Decision between the operating section, which mentions four infringements (depending on the routes involved) but refers to Lan in only one of those four routes; and the ruling section (which mentions one single conjoint infraction). On November 9th, 2010, the General Directorate for Competition of the European Commission notified Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. the imposition of a fine in the amount of THUS$ 9,823.135 (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.

II. | Governmental Investigations. |
1) | On July 25, 2016, LATAM reached agreements with the U.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the U.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 LAN 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 LAN’s internal controls in 2006-2007 were weak, so LAN 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. |
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 KUS$6,744 and interest of ThUS$ 2,694. |
Nothing is owed to the SEC at this time as ThUS$ 4,719 was paid in July 2017.
116
LATAM continued to cooperate with the Chilean authorities on this matter. The investigation continues. The 7th Criminal Court set the hearing date for October 24, 2017, at the request of the Office of the Public Prosecutor. The Prosecutor has petitioned that the investigation be closed.
2) | LATAM received six Requests for Information from the Central-North Metropolitan Region Legal Division, on October 25, 2016, on November 11, 2016, on March 8, 2017, on March 22, 2017, on July 7, 2017 and the last on August 28, 2017. It requested information related to the investigation of payments made by LAN Airlines in 2006 and 2007 to a consultant who advised it on the resolution of labor matters in Argentina. It also requested an explanation of information provided to the market. The five requests have already been answered and the requested information has been provided. The 7th Criminal Court set the hearing date for October 24, 2017 at the request of the Public Prosecutor. A reopening of the investigation was denied at that hearing and that denial was confirmed by the Santiago Court of Appeals on November 20, 2017. |
3) | The ecuatorian airline affiliate, LATAM Airlines Ecuador was given notice on August 26, 2016 of an investigation of LATAM Airlines Ecuador and two other airlines begun, at its own initiative, by one of the Investigative Departments of the Ecuadoran Market Power Control Commission, limited to alleged signs of conscious parallelism in relation to specific fares on one domestic route in Ecuador from August 2012 to February 2013. The Investigative Prefecture has 180 days (through February 21, 2017) to issue a report on whether to quash the investigation or file charges against two or more of the parties involved. That period can be extended for another 180 days. A proceeding would begin only if the decision is made to file charges. The Commission extended the term of the investigation for another 180 days (through August 18, 2017) LATAM Airlines Ecuador is cooperating with the authority and has retained a law firm and economist expert in the subject to advise the company during this process and any additional information requested will be furnished. We received notice on August 23, 2017 that the Market Regulatory Commission decided to quash the investigation against AEROLANE LÍNEAS AÉREAS NACIONALES DEL ECUADOR S.A. and two other airlines because there was insufficient information to charge them. This decision is final. |
