(iii) Interpretations | ||||
IFRIC 23: Uncertain tax positions | June 2017 | January 1, 2019 |
The Company's management believes that the adoption of the standards, amendments and interpretations described above will not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements of the Company in the exercise of its first application, except for IFRS 16.
IFRS 16 Leases incorporates significant changes in the accounting of tenants by requiring a similar treatment to financial leases for all those leases that are currently classified as operational lease with a term greater than 12 months. This standard will be applied since January 1, 2019 and means, in general terms, that an asset representative of the right to use the assets subject to operational leasing contracts and a liability equivalent to the present value of the payments associated with the contract must be recognized. The effects on the income statement will be; the monthly lease payments will be replaced by the depreciation of the right of use and the recognition of a financial expense. Likewise, in the Statement of Cash Flows, the operating flow will decrease by the amount of the lease payment, increasing the flow of financing, separated in interest and principal, from the lease liability.
During the year 2018 the Company began the analysis of the effects of first adoption of IFRS 16, applying this new standard to the contracts identified as leases using IAS 17 "Leases" and IFRIC 4 "Determining whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease”.
The Company will apply this new standard with a retrospective application, restating the comparative financial statements, in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors”.
The Company will continue to recognize the expenses associated with short-term lease contracts, as well as with the underlying low-value assets, in a straight-line manner as an expense in profit or loss, as indicated by the exception established in IFRS 16.
When establishing the terms of the lease, the Company has evaluated the relevant facts or circumstances that may determine the possible exercise of the options to extend or terminate the lease agreements. These options will be evaluated on each closing date.
22 |
For the valuation of the right of use and the lease liability, the Company has determined the present value of the payments for non-cancelable leases, using the implicit interest rate for leases related to aircraft, and incremental borrowing rate for the rest of the contracts. For incremental borrowing rate, the company considered for its calculation historical information on financing of the Company, market variables, asset types, country risk and currency among other factors.
The main impact due to the application of this new standard will came from the aircraft and engines, whose quantity and balance of non-cancelable lease commitments is disclosed in note 32 "Commitments".
As at the reporting date, the group has non-cancellable operating lease commitments for aircraft and engines of US$ 3,581 millions, additionally for other assets, it amounts of US$ 161 millions. Of these commitments, approximately US$ 59 millions relate to short-term leases and to low value leases which will both be recognized on a straight-line basis as expense in profit or loss.
For the remaining lease commitments the group expects to recognize right-of-use assets of approximately US$ 2,512 millions on 1 January 2019, and lease liabilities for US$ 2,820 millions. It is estimated that there will be no significant effects on net income for the year 2019.
Operating cash flows will increase and financing cash flows decrease by approximately US$ 521 millions as repayment of the principal portion of the lease liabilities will be classified as cash flows from financing activities.
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.
23 |
(b) | Transactions with non-controlling interests |
The Group applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not related to loss of control, as equity transactions without an effect on income.
(c) | Sales of subsidiaries |
When a subsidiary is sold and a percentage of participation is not retained, the Company derecognizes assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, the non-controlling and other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any gain or loss resulting from the loss of control is recognized in the consolidated income statement in Other gains (losses).
If LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries retain an ownership of participation in the sold subsidiary, and does not represent control, this is recognized at fair value on the date that control is lost, the amounts previously recognized in Other comprehensive income are accounted as if the Company had disposed directly from the assets and related liabilities, which can cause these amounts are reclassified to profit or loss. The percentage retained valued at fair value is subsequently accounted using the equity method.
(d) | Investees or associates |
Investees or associates are all entities over which LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries have significant influence but have no control. This usually arises from holding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are booked using the equity method and are initially recognized at their cost.
2.3. | Foreign currency transactions |
(a) | Presentation and functional currencies |
The items included in the financial statements of each of the entities of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the United States dollar which is also the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.
(b) | Transactions and balances |
Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and from the translation at the closing exchange rates of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are shown in the consolidated statement of income by function except when deferred in Other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
(c) | Adjustment due to hyperinflation |
After July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy was considered, for purposes of IFRS, hyperinflationary. The financial statements of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Argentine Peso have been restated.
24 |
The non-monetary items of the statement of financial position as well as the income statement, comprehensive incomes and cash flows of the group's entities, whose functional currency corresponds to a hyperinflationary economy, are adjusted for inflation and re-expressed in accordance with the variation of the consumer price index ("CPI"), at each presentation date of its financial statements. The re-expression of non-monetary items is made from the date of initial recognition in the statements of financial position and considering that the financial statements are prepared under the historical cost criterion. (See Note 4(g))
Net losses or gains arising from the re-expression of non-monetary items and income and costs are recognized in the consolidated income statement under "Result of indexation units".
Net gains and losses on the re-expression of opening balances due to the initial application of IAS 29 are recognized in the consolidated retained earnings.
Re-expression due to hyperinflation will be recorded until the period in which the economy of the entity ceases to be considered as a hyperinflationary economy, at that time, the adjustments made by hyperinflation will be part of the cost of non-monetary assets and liabilities.
The comparative amounts in the Consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in a stable currency and are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level or exchange rates.
(d) | Group entities |
The results and the financial situation of the Group's entities, whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements, of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., which does not correspond to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are converted into the currency of presentation as follows:
(i) Assets and liabilities of each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing exchange rate on the consolidated statement of financial position date;
(ii) The revenues and expenses of each income statement account are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates, and
(iii) All the resultant exchange differences by conversion are shown as a separate component in other comprehensive income.
For those subsidiaries of the group whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency and, moreover, corresponds to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy; its restated results, cash flow and financial situation are converted to the presentation currency at the closing exchange rate on the date of the consolidated financial statements.
The exchange rates used correspond to those fixed in the country where the subsidiary is located, whose functional currency is different to the U.S. dollar.
Adjustments to the Goodwill and fair value arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange rate or period informed, restated when the currency came from the functional entity of the foreign entity corresponds to that of a hyperinflationary economy, the adjustments for the restatement of goodwill are recognized in the consolidated equity.
25 |
2.4. | Property, plant and equipment |
The land of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries, are recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the Properties, plants and equipment are recorded, both in their initial recognition and in their subsequent measurement, at their historical cost, restated for inflation when appropriate, less the corresponding depreciation and any loss due to deterioration.
The amounts of advances paid to the aircraft manufacturers are activated by the Company under Construction in progress until they are received.
Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements, extensions, etc.) are included in the value of the initial asset or are recognized as a separate asset, only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the elements of property, plant and equipment, they will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be determined reliably. The value of the replaced component is written off. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to the result of the year in which they are incurred.
The depreciation of the properties, plants and equipment is calculated using the linear method over their estimated technical useful lives; except in the case of certain technical components which are depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown.
The residual value and the useful life of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, once a year.
When the value of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount (Note 2.8).
Losses and gains from the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the consideration with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.
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.
26 |
(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 or associate on the acquisition date. Goodwill related to acquisition of subsidiaries is not amortized but tested for impairment annually or each time that there is evidence of impairment. Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include the book amount of the goodwill related to the entity sold.
2.7. | Borrowing costs |
Interest costs incurred for the construction of any qualified asset are capitalized over the time necessary for completing and preparing the asset for its intended use.
2.8. | Losses for impairment of non-financial assets |
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, and developing IT projects, are not subject to amortization and are subject to annual 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.
27 |
2.9. | Financial assets |
As of January 1, 2018, the Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through gains or losses), and at amortized cost. The classification depends on the business model of the entity to manage the financial assets and the contractual terms of the cash flows.
The group reclassifies debt investments when, and only when, it changes its business model to manage those assets.
In the initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of a financial asset classified at amortized cost, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset. Transaction costs of financial assets accounted for at fair value through profit or loss are recorded as expenses in the income statement.
(a) | Debt instruments |
The subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group's business model to manage the asset and cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Company has two measurement categories in which the group classifies its debt instruments:
Amortized cost: the assets held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows represent only payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at amortized cost and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in income when the asset is derecognized or impaired. Interest income from these financial assets is included in financial income using the effective interest rate method.
Fair value through profit or loss: assets that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss on a debt investment that is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss and is not part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and is presented net in the income statement within other gains / (losses) in the period in which it arises.
(b) | Equity instruments |
Changes in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in other gains / (losses) in the statement of income as appropriate.
The Company evaluates in advance the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments recorded at amortized cost. The applied impairment methodology depends on whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk.
2.10. | Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities |
Derivatives are recognized, in accordance with IAS 39, initially at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract was made and are subsequently valued at their fair value. The method to recognize the resulting loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as:
28 |
(a) | Hedge of the fair value of recognized assets (fair value hedge); |
(b) | Hedge of an identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly- Probable transaction (cash-flow hedge), or |
(c) | Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. |
The Company documents, at the inception of each transaction, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its objectives for managing risk and the strategy for carrying out various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged.
The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as Other non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the item hedged is over 12 months, and as an other current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the item hedged is less than 12 months. Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as Other financial assets or liabilities.
(a) | Fair value hedges |
Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are shown in the consolidated statement of income, together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged that is attributable to the risk being hedged.
(b) | Cash flow hedges |
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in the statement of other comprehensive income. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income under other gains (losses). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
In case of variable interest-rate hedges, the amounts recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to results within financial costs at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.
For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to results under the line item Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.
For foreign currency hedges, the amounts recognized in the statement of other comprehensive income are reclassified to income as deferred revenue resulting from the use of points, are recognized as Income.
When hedging instrument mature, is sold or fails to meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, any gain or loss accumulated in the statement of Other comprehensive income until that moment, remains in the statement of other comprehensive income and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized. When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in the statement of other comprehensive income is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as “Other gains (losses)”.
29 |
(c) | Derivatives not booked as a hedge |
The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not booked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income in “Other gains (losses)”.
2.11. | Inventories |
Inventories, detailed in Note 10, are shown at the lower of cost and their net realizable value. The cost is determined on the basis of the weighted average cost method (WAC). The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
2.12. | Trade and other accounts receivable |
Commercial accounts receivable are initially recognized at their fair value and subsequently at their amortized cost in accordance with the effective rate method, less the provision for impairment according to the model of the expected credit losses. The company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires that expected lifetime losses be recognized upon initial recognition of accounts receivable.
The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor, the probability that the debtor goes bankrupt or financial reorganization are considered indicators of a significant increase in credit risk.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced as the provision account is used and the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement under "Cost of sales". When an account receivable is written off, it is regularized against the provision account for the account receivable.
2.13. | 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.
30 |
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 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.
Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which to compensate 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.
31 |
(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 Company has a present legal or implicit obligation as a result of past events; |
(ii) | It is probable that payment is going to be necessary to settle an obligation; and |
(iii) | The amount has been reliably estimated. |
2.20. | Revenue from contracts with customers |
(a) | Transportation of passengers and cargo |
The Company recognizes the sale for the transportation service as a deferred income liability, which is recognized as income when the transportation service has been lent or expired. In the case of air transport services sold by the Company and that will be made by other airlines, the liability is reduced when they are remitted to said airlines. The Company periodically reviews whether it is necessary to make an adjustment to deferred income liabilities, mainly related to returns, changes, among others.
Compensations granted to clients for changes in the levels of services or billing of additional services such as additional baggage, change of seat, among others, are considered modifications of the initial contract, therefore, they are deferred until the corresponding service is provided.
(b) | Expiration of air tickets |
The Company estimates in a monthly basis the probability of expiration of air tickets, with refund clauses, based on the history of use of the same. Air tickets without refund clause are expired on the date of the flight in case the passenger does not show up.
(c) | Costs associated with the contract |
The costs related to the sale of air tickets are activated and deferred until the corresponding service is provided. These assets are included under Other non-financial assets in the Consolidated Classified Statement of Financial Position.
32 |
(d) | Frequent passenger program |
The Company maintains the following loyalty programs: LATAM Pass, LATAM Fidelidade and Multiplus, whose objective is loyalty through the delivery of miles or points.
Members of these programs accumulate miles when flying with LATAM Airlines Group or any other member airline of the oneworld® program, as well as using the services of the associated entities.
When the miles and points are exchanged for products and services other than the services provided by the Company, the income is immediately recognized. When the exchange is made through air tickets of an airline of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries, the income is deferred until the transportation service are rendered or expiration for non-use.
In addition, the Company has contracts with certain non-airline companies for the sale of miles or points. These contracts include some performance obligations in addition to the sale of the mile or point, such as marketing, advertising and other benefits. The income associated with these concepts is recognized in the income statement to the extent that the miles are accredited.
The calculation of the deferred income by loyalty programs at the end of the period corresponds to the valuation of the miles and points awarded to the holders of the loyalty programs, pending use, weighted by the probability of their exchange.
The miles and points that the Company estimates will not be exchanged, the proportionally associated value is recognized during the period in which it is expected that the remaining miles and points will be exchanged. The Company uses statistical models to estimate the exchange probability, which is based on historical patterns and projections.
(e) | Dividend income |
Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive 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.
33 |
(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.
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.
34 |
(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 year endedDecember 31, 2018, the Company recognized gains of US$ 29.7 million for fuel coverage net of premium. During the same period of 2017, the Company recognized gains of US$ 15.1 million for the same concept.
As ofDecember 31, 2018, the market value of fuel positions amounted to US$ 15.8 million (negative). At the end of December 2017, this market value was US$ 10.7 million (positive).
The following tables show the level of hedge for different periods:

(*) The volume shown in the table considers all the hedging instruments (swaps and options).
35 |
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 fourth quarter of 2019.
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 2018 and the end of December, 2017.
Positions as of December 31, 2018 | Positions as of December 31, 2017 | |||
Benchmark price | effect on equity | effect on equity | ||
(US$ per barrel) | (millions of US$) | (millions of US$) | ||
+5 | +7.4 | +1.8 | ||
-5 | - 5.5 | -3.3 |
Given the structure of fuel coverage during 2018, 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 $ 135.2 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 $ 146.5 million of higher fuel costs.
(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.
36 |
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:
With the objective of reducing exposure to the exchange rate risk in the operational cash flows of 2018, and securing the operating margin, LATAM makes hedges using FX derivatives.
As ofDecember 31, 2018, the Company does not maintain hedge derivatives. At the end of December 2017, this market value was US $ 4.4 million (positive).
During the period endedDecember 31, 2018, the Company recognized gains of US$ 18.3 million for FX net premium coverage. During the same period of 2017, the company recognized losses of US$ 9.7 million for this concept.
As ofDecember 31, 2018, the Company has not subscribed new FX derivatives. By the end of December 2017, the company had contracted FX derivatives for US$ 180 million for BRL.
As ofDecember 31, the company has contracted FX derivatives which have not been recorded under hedge accounting. The market value of these positions amounts to US$ 19.4 million (positive). The premium associated with the contracting of this derivative is accrued linearly during the months elapsed until the expiration of the instrument. The Company registered the derivative as fair value through profits and loss. As of December 31, 2018, the amount recognized in results amounts to US $ 11.7 million (positive) net of premiums.
Sensitivity analysis:
A depreciation of the R$/US$ exchange rate, negatively affects the Company's operating cash flows, however, also positively affects the value of the positions of derivatives contracted.
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.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company does not have FX derivatives in its portfolio. During 2017, the Company contracted derivative currency swaps to hedge debt issued the same year for a notional UF 8.7 million. As ofDecember 31, 2018, the market value of derivative positions of currency swaps amounted to US$ 15.1 million (positive).
In the case of TAM S.A, whose functional currency is the Brazilian real, a large part of its liabilities 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.
37 |
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, 2018 | Effect at December 31, 2017 | ||
of R$/US$(*) | Millions of US$ | Millions of US$ | ||
-10% | +39.8 | +80.5 | ||
+10% | -39.8 | -80.5 |
(*) 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).
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, 2018 | Effect at December 31, 2017 | ||
of R$/US$ | Millions of US$ | Millions of US$ | ||
-10% | +384.73 | +386.62 | ||
+10% | -314.78 | -316.33 |
(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").
38 |
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 60% (63% at December 31, 2017) of the debt is fixed to fluctuations in interest rate.
Rate Hedging Results:
As ofDecember 31, 2018, the market value of the derivative positions of interest rates amounted to US $ 2.2 million (negative). At the end of December 2017, this market value was US $ 6.6 million (negative).
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, 2018 | Positions as of December 31, 2017 | ||
futures curve | effect on profit or loss before tax | effect on profit or loss before tax | ||

+100 basis points | -29.62 | -29.26 | ||
-100 basis points | +29.62 | +29.26 |
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, 2018 | Positions as of December 31, 2017 | ||
futures curve | effect on equity | effect on equity | ||
in libor 3 months | (millions of US$) | (millions of US$) | ||
+100 basis points | +0.70 | +1.9 | ||
-100 basis points | -0.71 | -1.9 |
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.
39 |
(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.
(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.
40 |
One of the tools the Company uses for reducing credit risk is to participate in global entities related to the industry, such as IATA, Business Sales Processing (“BSP”), Cargo Account Settlement Systems (“CASS”), IATA Clearing House (“ICH”) and banks (credit cards). These institutions fulfill the role of collectors and distributors between airlines and travel and cargo agencies. In the case of the Clearing House, it acts as an offsetting entity between airlines for the services provided between them. A reduction in term and implementation of guarantees has been achieved through these entities. Currently the sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with travel agents and cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A.
Credit quality of financial assets
The external credit evaluation system used by the Company is provided by IATA. Internal systems are also used for particular evaluations or specific markets based on trade reports available on the local market. The internal classification system is complementary to the external one, i.e. for agencies or airlines not members of IATA, the internal demands are greater.
To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of operational activities of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. with travel agents).The bad-debt rate in the principal countries where the Company has a presence is insignificant.
(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, 2018 is US$ 1,404 million (US$ 1,614 million at December 31, 2017), invested in short term instruments through financial high credit rating levels entities.
In addition to the balance of liquid funds, the Company has access to short-term credit lines. As of December 31, 2018, LATAM has credit lines for working capital that are not committed to several banks and additionally has an unused committed line of US $ 600 million (US $ 450 million as of December 31, 2017) subject to availability of collateral.

The Company has fuel, interest rate and exchange rate hedging strategies involving derivatives contracts with different financial institutions. The Company has margin facilities with each financial institution in order to regulate the mutual exposure produced by changes in the market valuation of the derivatives.
At the end of 2017, the Company had delivered US$ 16.4 million in guarantees for derivative margins, corresponding to cash and standby letters of credit. As of December 31, 2018, US$ 5.0 million were delivered in guarantees corresponding to cash and standby letters of credit. The decrease was due to: i) the expiration of hedge contracts, ii) acquisition of new fuel contracts, and iii) changes in fuel prices, changes in exchange rates and interest rates.
3.2. | Capital risk management |
The Company’s objectives, with respect to the management of capital, are (i) to comply with the restrictions of minimum equity and (ii) to maintain an optimal capital structure.
The Company monitors its contractual obligations and the regulatory limitations in the different countries where the entities of the group are domiciled to assure they meet the limit of minimum net equity, where the most restrictive limitation is to maintain a positive net equity.
Additionally, the Company periodically monitors the short and long term cash flow projections to assure the Company has adequate sources of funding to generate the cash requirement to face its investment and funding future commitments.
The Company international credit rating is the consequence of the Company capacity to face its long terms financing commitments. As of December 31, 2018 the Company has an international long term credit rating of BB- with stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s, a B+ rating with positive outlook by Fitch Ratings and a Ba3 rating with stable outlook by Moody’s.
3.3. | Estimates of fair value. |
At December 31, 2018, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at fair value. These are grouped into two categories:
1. | Hedge Instruments: |
This category includes the following instruments:
- | Interest rate derivative contracts, |
- | Fuel derivative contracts, |
- | Currency derivative contracts. |
2. | Financial Investments: |
This category includes the following instruments:
- | Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent) |
- | Private investment funds. |
46 |
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 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 some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments. Basically these estimates refer to:
(a) Evaluation of possible losses due to impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life
As of December 31, 2018, goodwill amount to ThUS$ 2,294,072 (ThUS$ 2,672,550 as of December 31, 2017), while the intangible assets comprise the Airport Slots for ThUS$ 828,969 (ThUS$ 964,513 as of December 31, 2017) and Loyalty Program for ThUS$ 274,420 (ThUS$ 321,440 as of December 31, 2017).
48 |
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, 2018 amounts to ThUS$ 1,845,136 and ThUS$ 448,936 (ThUS$ $ 2,146,692 and ThUS$ 525,858 as of December 31, 2017), which include the following intangible assets with an indefinite useful life:

December 31 | December 31, | December 31 | December 31, | |||||||||||||

Airport Slots | 828,969 | 964,513 | - | - | ||||||||||||
Loyalty program | - | - | 274,420 | 321,440 |
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).
(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, 2018, the Company has recognized deferred tax assets of ThUS$ 273,327 (ThUS$ 364,021 as of December 31, 2017) and has ceased to recognize deferred tax assets on tax losses of ThUS$ 137,761 (ThUS$ 81,155 December 31, 2017) (Note 18).
49 |
(d) | Air tickets sold that will not be finally used. |
The Company records the advance sale of air tickets as deferred revenue. Revenue from the sale of tickets is recognized in the income statement when the passenger transport service is provided or expired due to non-use. The Company evaluates in a monthly basis the probability of expiration of air tickets, with refund clauses, based on the history of use of air tickets. A change in this probability could have an impact on ordinary income in the year in which the change occurs and in future periods. As of December 31, 2018, deferred revenues associated with air tickets sold amounted to ThUS$ 1,299,304 (ThUS$ 1,550,447 as of December 31, 2017). A hypothetical change of one percentage point in passenger behavior with respect to use would result in an impact of up to ThUS $ 6,000 per month.
(e) | Valuation of miles and points awarded to holders of loyalty programs, pending use. |
As of December 31, 2018, the deferred revenue associated with the LATAM Pass loyalty program amounts to ThUS$ 1,324,635 (ThUS$ 853,505 as of December 31, 2017). A hypothetical change of one percentage point in the exchange probability would result in an impact of ThUS$ 26,726 on the results of 2018 (ThUS $ 25,000 in 2017). The deferred revenues associated with the LATAM Fidelidade and Multiplus loyalty programs amount to ThUS$ 293,831 as of December 31, 2018 (ThUS$ 364,866 as of December 31, 2017). A hypothetical change of two percentage points in the number of points pending to be exchanged would result in an impact of ThUS$ 13,140 on the results of 2018 (ThUS$ 11,187 in 2017).
(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) | Consumer Price Index |
For the calculation of the hyperinflation adjustment of companies with functional Argentine Peso, the company uses the index calculated by the Argentine Federation of Professional Councils of Economic Sciences resulting from combining the National Consumer Price Index ("CPI") published by the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses of the Argentine Republic ("INDEC") (base month: December 2016) with the IPIM published by the FACPCE.

ThUS$ | ||||
Assets | 1,379 | |||
Liabilities | (2,005 | ) | ||
Loss | (626 | ) |
(h) | Investment in subsidiary (TAM) |
The management has applied its judgment in determining that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. controls TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries, for accounting purposes, and has therefore consolidated the financial statements.
The grounds for this decision are that LATAM issued ordinary shares in exchange for the majority of circulating ordinary and preferential shares in TAM, except for those TAM shareholders who did not accept the exchange, which were subject to a squeeze out, entitling LATAM to substantially all economic benefits generated by the LATAM Group, and thus exposing it to substantially all risks relating to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all of its shareholders, including the controlling shareholders of TAM, thus 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.
51 |
Since the integration of LAN and TAM operations, the most critical airline operations in Brazil have been managed by the CEO of TAM while global activities have been managed by the CEO of LATAM, who is in charge of the operation of the LATAM Group as a whole and reports to the LATAM Board.
The CEO of LATAM also evaluates the performance of LATAM Group executives and, together with the LATAM Board, determines compensation. Although Brazilian law currently imposes restrictions on the percentages of voting rights that may be held by foreign investors, LATAM believes that the economic basis of these agreements meets the requirements of accounting standards in force, and that the consolidation of the operations of LAN and LATAM is appropriate.
These estimates were made based on the best information available relating to the matters analyzed.
In any case, it is possible that events that may take place in the future could lead to their modification in future reporting periods, which would be made in a prospective manner.
NOTE 5 - SEGMENTAL INFORMATION
The Company considers that it has two operating segments: air transport and the Multiplus loyalty and coalition program.
The air transport segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and is based on the way in which the business is managed according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to open and close routes, as well as reallocating resources (aircraft, crew, personnel, etc.) within the network, which implies a functional interrelation between them, making them inseparable. This segment definition is one of the most common at the level of the airline industry worldwide.
The Multiplus Coalition and Loyalty Program segment, unlike the LATAM Pass and LATAM Fidelidade programs, which are frequent flyer programs that operate as a unilateral loyalty system, offers a flexible, interrelated coalition system among its members, which has 22.2 million members, together with being an entity with a separate administration and a business not directly related to air transport.

(*) Adjustment to the balance as of December 31, 2017 registered in retained earnings as of 01.01.2018 for the adoption of IFRS 9.
Once pre-judicial and judicial collection efforts are exhausted, the assets are written off against the allowance. The Company only uses the allowance method rather than direct write-off, to ensure control.
The historical and current renegotiations are not very relevant and the policy is to analyze case by case to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining if their reclassification corresponds to pre-judicial collection accounts.
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.

(2) Aircraft maintenance reserves reflect prepayment deposits made by the group to lessors of certain aircraft under operating lease agreements in order to ensure that funds are available to support the scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft.
These amounts are calculated based on performance measures, such as flight hours or cycles, are paid periodically (usually monthly) and are contractually required to be repaid to the lessee upon the completion of the required maintenance of the leased aircraft. At the end of the lease term, any unused maintenance reserves are either returned to the Company in cash or used to offset amounts that we may owe the lessor as a maintenance adjustment.
65 |
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 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.
71 |
As of December 31, 2018 the recoverable values were determined using the following assumptions presented below:
Air transportation | Coalition and loyalty | |||||||||
CGU | program Multiplus CGU (2) | |||||||||
Annual growth rate (Terminal) | % | 1.0 - 2.0 | 4.0 - 5.0 | |||||||
Exchange rate (1) | R$/US$ | 3.7 - 4.6 | 3.5 - 4.3 | |||||||
Discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) | % | 8.07 - 10.07 | ||||||||
Discount rate based on cost of equity (CoE) | % | - | 12.0 - 13.0 | |||||||
Fuel Price from futures price curves commodities markets | US$/barrel | 75-80 |
(1) In line with the expectations of the Central Bank of Brazil
(2) The flows, like the growth and discount rates, are denominated in reais.
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:
Decrease | ||||||||||||
Increase | Increase | Minimum | ||||||||||
Maximum | Maximum | terminal | ||||||||||
WACC | CoE | growth rate | ||||||||||
% | % | % | ||||||||||
Air transportation CGU | 10.07 | - | 1.0 | |||||||||
Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus CGU | - | 13.00 | 4.0 |
In none of the previous cases impairment in the cash- generating unit was presented.

NOTE 18 - CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES
In the year ended December 31, 2018, the income tax provision was calculated for such period, applying the partially integrated taxation system and a rate of 27%, in accordance with the Law No. 20,780 published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Chile on September 29, 2014.
The effect in the income statement for deferred tax corresponds to the variation of the year, of the assets and liabilities for deferred taxes generated by temporary differences and tax losses.
There are the permanent differences that give rise to an accounting value of the assets and liabilities other than their tax value, no deferred tax has been recorded since they are caused by transactions that are recorded in the financial statements and that will not affect the expense tax for income tax.

90 |
(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 CLP/US$, R$/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 9 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 $ 85 million, made in order to suspend the application of the tax credit. The Company is discussing in the Court the constitutionality of the requirement made by FA in a lawsuit. Initially it was covered by the effects of a precautionary measure, this means that the Company would not be obliged to collect the tax, as long as there is no judicial decision in this regard. However, the decision taken by the judge in the first instance was published unfavorably, revoking the injunction. As the lawsuit is still underway (TAM appealed this first decision), the Company needed to make the judicial deposit, for the suspension of the enforceability of the tax credit; deposit that was classified in this item, discounting the existing provision for this purpose. Finally, if the final decision is favorable to the Company, the deposit made will return to TAM. On the other hand, if the court confirms the first decision, said deposit will become a final payment in favor of the Government of Brazil. The procedural stage as of December 31, 2018 is described in Note 31 in the Role of the case 2001.51.01.012530-0. |

2) | European Commission Provision: |
Provision constituted on the occasion of the process initiated in December 2007 by the General Competition Directorate of the European Commission against more than 25 cargo airlines, among which is Lan Cargo SA, which forms part of the global investigation initiated in 2006 for possible infractions of free competition in the air cargo market, which was carried out jointly by the European and United States authorities.
With respect to Europe, the General Directorate of Competition imposed fines totaling € 799,445,000 (seven hundred and ninety-nine million four hundred and forty-five thousand Euros) for infractions of European Union regulations on free competition against eleven (11 ) airlines, among which are LATAM Airlines Group SA and its subsidiary Lan Cargo S.A .. For its part, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A., jointly and severally, have been fined for the amount of € 8,220,000 (eight million two hundred and twenty thousand Euros), for these infractions, an amount that was provisioned in the financial statements of LATAM. On January 24, 2011, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A. They appealed the decision before the Court of Justice of the European Union.

For its part, TAM, thinking of people who travel constantly, created the LATAM Fidelidade program, in order to improve the service and give recognition to those who choose the company. Through the program, customers accumulate points in a wide variety of loyalty programs in a single account and can redeem them in all TAM destinations and associated airline companies, and even more, participate in the Multiplus Fidelidade Network.
Multiplus is a coalition of loyalty programs, with the objective of operating accumulation and exchange of points. This program has a network integrated by associated companies, including hotels, financial institutions, retail companies, supermarkets, vehicle leases and magazines, among many other partners from different segments.
The Company signed a renewal of the agreement with Banco Santander-Chile, which extends its alliance in Chile to continue developing travel benefits to its respective clients during the next 7 years.

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$ 9,402 (8.220.000 Euros) This fine is being appealed by Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. On December 16, 2015, the European Court of Justice revoked the Commission’s decision because of discrepancies. The European Commission did not appeal the decision, but presented a new one on March 17, 2017 reiterating the imposition of the same fine on the eleven original airlines. The fine totals 776,465,000 Euros. It imposed the same fine as before on Lan Cargo and its parent, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., totaling 8.2 million Euros. On May 31, 2017 Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. filed a petition with the General Court of the European Union seeking vacation of this decision. We presented our defense in December 2017. LATAM AIRLINES GROUP S.A. expects that the Court of the European Union will reduce this fine. | 9,402 |

The U.S. judge also closed the case administratively. Based on the petition by Regional One, the Federal Court in the State of Florida, USA, lifted the suspension of the case on July 11, 2018 and returned the case to the State Court. At the same time, VAS filed suit against LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA at the end of May 2018 seeking an indemnity because of the lawsuit by Regional One against VAS due to contract default. According to the requirements for civil suits in Florida, VAS has only claimed damages from LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA totaling more than US$15,000. The VAS lawsuit and Regional One lawsuit have been consolidated before the same State Court, which has set the trial by jury for September 19, 2019. A reconciliation hearing was held on December 10, 2018 that was attended by all parties, but no agreement was reached. The claim is continuing forward. It is possible that later on, the amount petitioned in the case may vary. Any change will be reported in due course. In the meantime, the State Court has yet to render a decision on the motions by LATAM Airlines Colombia to dismiss both the Regional One and VAS claims because they have no legal basis. | ||||||||

II. | Governmental Investigations. |
1) | On July 25, 2016, LATAM reached agreements with theU.S. Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and theU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regarding the investigation of payments for US$1,150,000 by Lan Airlines S.A. in 2006-2007 to a consultant advising it in the resolution of labor matters in Argentina. |
The purpose of the investigation was to determine whether these payments violated the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) that: (i) forbids bribery of foreign government authorities in order to obtain a commercial advantage; and (ii) requires the companies that must abide by the FCPA to keep appropriate accounting records and implant an adequate internal control system. The FCPA is applicable to LATAM because of its ADR program in effect on the U.S. securities market.
After an exhaustive investigation, the DOJ and SEC concluded that there was no violation of the bribery provisions of the FCPA, which is consistent with the results of LATAM’s internal investigation. However, the DOJ and SEC consider that 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. |
125 |
(b) | The agreement with the SEC involves: (i) accepting a Cease and Desist Order, which is an administrative resolution of the SEC closing the investigation, in which LATAM will accept certain obligations and statements of fact that are described in the document; (ii) accepting the same obligations regarding the consultant mentioned above; and (iii) LATAM paid a fine of ThUS$6,744 and interest of ThUS$2,694. |
(a) | Loan covenants |
With respect to various loans signed by the Company for the financing of Boeing 767, 767F, 777F and 787 aircraft, which carry the guarantee of the United States Export–Import Bank, limits have been set on some of the Company’s financial indicators on a consolidated basis, for which, in any case non-compliance does not generate acceleration of the loans.
Moreover, and related to these same contracts, restrictions are also in place on the Company’s management in terms of its ownership, in relation to the ownership structure and the controlling group, and disposal of the assets which mainly refers to important transfers of assets.
The Company and its subsidiaries do not maintain financial credit contracts with banks in Chile that indicate some limits on financial indicators of the Company or its subsidiaries.
The revolving credit facility ("Revolving Credit Facility") with aircraft, engines, parts and supplies guaranteed for a total available amount of US$ 600 million, contemplates minimum liquidity restrictions, measured at the level of the Consolidated Company and measured at the for companies LATAM Airlines Group SA and TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A., which remain standby while the credit line is not used. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017 this line of credit established with a consortium of eleven banks led by Citibank, is not used.
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company is in compliance with all the indicators detailed above.
