(c) Chapter 11 Filing and Exit
Chapter 11 Filing and Procedure: Due to the effects on the operation of the restrictions established in the countries to control the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, on May 25, 2020 the Board of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (“LATAM Parent”) resolved unanimously that LATAM Parent and some its subsidiaries should initiate a reorganization process in the United States of America according to the rules established in the Bankruptcy Code by filing a voluntary petition for relief in accordance with the same, which petition was submitted on May 26, 2020 and was jointly administered under Case Number 20- 11254. Subsequently, Piquero Leasing Limited (July 7, 2020) and TAM S.A. and its subsidiaries in Brazil (July 9, 2020) joined the process (the voluntary petitions, collectively, the “Bankruptcy Filing” and each LATAM entity that filed a petition, a “Debtor” and jointly, the “Debtors”).
As part of their overall reorganization process, while the Chapter 11 proceedings were outstanding the Debtors sought and received relief in certain non-U.S. jurisdictions (i.e., Cayman Islands, Chile and Colombia).
The Bankruptcy Filing for each of the Debtors was jointly administered under the caption “In re LATAM Airlines Group S.A. et al.” Case Number 20-11254. On June 18, 2022, the Bankruptcy Court issued a memorandum decision approving the Debtors’ joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) and rejecting all remaining objections and entered an order confirming the Plan (the “Confirmation Order”). On November 3, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), the Plan was substantially consummated and each of the Debtors emerged from the Chapter 11 proceedings as “Reorganized Debtors”. Thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors were permitted to operate their businesses and manage their properties without supervision of the Bankruptcy Court and free of the restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code.
Pursuant to the Plan, the Company received an infusion of approximately US$8.19 billion through a mix of new equity, convertible notes and debt, which enabled the Company to exit Chapter 11 with appropriate capitalization to effectuate its business plan. Upon emergence, the Company had total debt of approximately US$6.8 billion, cash and cash equivalents of approximately US$1.1 billion and revolving undrawn facilities in the amount of US$1.1 billion.
Pursuant to the Plan and Backstop Agreements, between October and November 2022, LATAM obtained secured priority DIP and exit debt for a total amount of US$2.75 billion, structures as follows: (i) a new revolving credit line facility of up to US$500 million (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), (ii) and new term loan B for US$1.1 billion (the “Term Loan”); (iii) notes issued pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933 of the United States of America (the “U.S. Securities Act”) for a total amount of US$450 million and with a scheduled maturity date
in 2027 (the “2027 Notes” ); and (iv) bonds issued pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S of the SEC under the US Securities Law for a total amount of US$700 million and whit a scheduled maturity date in 2029 (the “2029 Notes”, and together with the Revolving Credit Facility, the Term Loan, and the 2027 Notes, the “Exit Financing"). All the debt instruments comprising the Exit Financing are secured equally and ratably with the same collateral comprised of certain assets of LATAM Parent and its subsidiaries that are obligors under such instruments.
As is usual in this types of restructurings, the Chapter 11 proceedings docket remained open after the Effective Date to complete the conciliation process for certain claims that were still pending, as of such date, as well as to resolve certain administrative matters.
On June 29, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court issued a final decree of the Chapter 11 proceedings ordering the closure of Case Number 20-11254 and its file (the “Final Decree”). The foregoing, as a result of the resolution of substantially all remaining issues of the Chapter 11 proceedings and all appeals of the Confirmation Order.
Subsequent to the Effective Date, the Exit Financing has been subject to the following amendments:
1.The Revolving Credit Facility has been amended on two occasions.
a)First, as reported by material fact dated July 15, 2024, the Revolving Credit Facility was modified in order to, among other things, (i) extend the scheduled maturity date from November 2026 to July 15, 2029; provided, however, that it will be payable in advance earlier on the date that is 180 days prior to the maturity date of any of the outstanding financings that share collateral with the Revolving Credit Facility, to the extent that as of that date, such other financings have not been refinanced or deferred; (ii) increase the amount of the Revolving Credit Facility from US$500 million to US$750 million; (iii) eliminate references to the Chapter 11 proceedings; (iv) include additional financiers to the Revolving Credit Line; and (v) modify certain commercial conditions of the Revolving Credit Facility in relation to interest rates and fees and
b)In second place, the Revolving Credit Facility was modified on October 7, 2024,to, among other things, amend certain covenants and incorporate certain provisions relates to certain collateral release events described below.
2.2030 Notes and Refinancing of the 2027 Notes and the Term Loan.
As reported through material fact dated October 1, 2024 and October 15, 2024, on October 15, 2024, LATAM Parent issued and placed in international markets, secured notes for a principal amounts of US$1.4 billion, at an annual interest rate of 7.875% and maturing in the year 2030 (the “2030 Bonds”), under the Rule 144-A and SEC Regulation S, under the US Securities Act. The Notes are considered Exit Financing and, thus, are secured with the same collateral of the other instruments comprising the Exit Financing. Additional, the 2030 Notes' indenture also includes provisions related to certain collateral release events described below.
The proceeds obtained from issuance of the 2030 Notes, together with the additional available cash of LATAM Parent of US$200 million, were used to pay in full and terminate the Term Loan and 2027 Notes.
If any, the remainder of the funds obtained under the 2030 Bonds and the cash reserves currently maintained by LATAM Parent must be used for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
As a result of the above, there was an impact on expenses in the consolidated income statement for an approximate amount of US$134 million, of which US$45 million directly impacted cash during the fourth quarter of 2024.
3. Additional Collateral Release
The Revolving Credit Facility and the 2030 Notes indenture include substantially the same provisions under which LATAM Parent may in the future, and after satisfying certain conditions, release the liens over certain collateral, including the cargo-business assets, the gates and slots. Any such collateral release is subject to numerous conditions, including that (a) after giving pro forma effect to the release, the asset coverage ratio set forth in those instruments is not less than 1.6x and (b) the release is permitted under all Exit Financings (and any junior debt secured by the same collateral) and, after giving effect to such release, the released collateral does no longer secure any such secured debts.
The referred collateral release provisions have not been included yet in the 2029 Notes indenture and, thus, any such release cannot be implemented until either the 2029 Notes indenture is amended to include such provisions or the 2029 Notes are paid in full.
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 cash 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 to be disclosed when carrying out a business combination, such as the acquisition of an entity by the Company, the acquisition method provided for in IFRS 3: Business combinations is used.
(b) Transactions with non-controlling interests
The Group applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not related to the 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 the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, the non-controlling interest 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 by function within Other gains (losses).
If LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries retain an ownership of participation in the disposed subsidiary which does not represent control, this is recognized at fair value on the date that control is lost and the amounts previously recognized in Other comprehensive income are accounted as if the Company had disposed directly the assets and related liabilities, which can cause these amounts to be 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 its 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 Accounting Standards, hyperinflationary. The consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Argentine Peso have been restated.
The non-monetary items of the statement of financial position as well as the income statement, comprehensive income and cash flows of the group's entities, whose functional currency corresponds to a hyperinflationary economy, are adjusted for inflation and re-expressed in accordance with the variation of the consumer price index ("CPI"), at each presentation date of its financial statements. The re-expression of non-monetary items is made from the date of initial recognition in the statements of financial position and considering that the financial statements are prepared under the historical cost criterion.
Net losses or gains arising from the re-expression of non-monetary ítems 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 were recognized in the consolidated retained earnings.
Re-expression due to hyperinflation will be recorded until the period or exercise 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, within "Gain (losses) from exchange rate difference, before tax".
For those subsidiaries of the group whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency and 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.
2.4. Property, plant and equipment
The land of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its Subsidiaries, are recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the Property, plant and equipment are recorded, both at their initial recognition and their subsequent measurement, at their historical cost, restated for inflation when appropriate, less the corresponding depreciation and any loss due to impairment.
The amounts of advances paid to the aircraft manufacturers are capitalized 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, 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 income when they are incurred.
The depreciation of the Property, plant 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. This charge is recognized in the captions "Cost of sale" and "Administrative expenses".
The residual value and the useful life of assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, once a year. Useful lives are detailed in Note 16 (d).
When the value of an asset exceeds its estimated recoverable amount, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount.
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 Loyalty program correspond to intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and are annually tested for impairment as an integral part of the CGU Air Transport.
Airport Slots correspond to an administrative authorization to carry out operations of arrival and departure of aircraft, at a specific airport, within a certain period of time.
The Loyalty program corresponds to the system of accumulation and exchange of points that is part of TAM Linhas Aereas S.A.
(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 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 other costs directly related to the production of unique and identifiable computer software controlled by the Company, are shown as intangible Assets other than Goodwill when they have met all the criteria for capitalization.
2.6. 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 statement of income by function when accrued.
2.7. Losses for impairment of non-financial assets
Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that they might be impaired. Assets subject to amortization are tested for impairment losses whenever any event or change in circumstances indicates that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized for the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the fair value of an asset less the costs of sale or the value in use, whichever is greater. For the purpose of evaluating impairment losses, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are largely independent cash inflows (cash generating unit. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that would have suffered an impairment loss are reviewed if there are indicators of reversal of losses. Impairment losses are recognized in the consolidated statement of income by function under "Other gains (losses)".
2.8. Financial assets
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 consolidated statement of income by function.
(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 fair value through other comprehensive income 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 consolidated statement of income by function within other gains / (losses) in the period or exercise 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 consolidated statement of income by function 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.
2.9. Derivative financial instruments and embedded derivatives
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities
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 designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged.
The Company designates certain derivatives as:
(a) Hedge of an identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly- probable transaction (cash-flow hedge), or
(b) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting.
At the beginning of the transaction, the Company documents the economic relationship between the hedged items existing between the hedging instruments and the hedged items, as well as its objectives for risk management and the strategy to carry out various hedging operations. 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) 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 by function under other gains (losses). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods or exercise when the hedged item affects profit or loss. When these amounts correspond to hedging derivatives of highly probable items that give rise to non-financial assets or liabilities, in which case, they are recorded as part of the non-financial assets or liabilities.
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.
Gains or losses related to the effective part of the change in the intrinsic value of the options are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. Changes in the time value of the options related to this part are recognized within Other Consolidated Comprehensive Income in the costs of the hedge reserve within equity.
When a hedging instrument matures, is sold, or fails to meet the requirements to be accounted for as a hedge, 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 by function as “Other gains (losses)”.
(b) 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)”.
Embedded derivatives
The Company assesses the existence of embedded derivatives in financial instrument contracts. Derivatives embedded in non-derivative host contracts are treated as separate derivatives when they meet the definition of a derivative, their risks and characteristics are not closely related to those of the host contracts and the contracts are not measured at FVTPL as a whole. LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has determined that no embedded derivatives currently exist.
2.10. Inventories
Inventories, 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.
2.11. Trade and other accounts receivable
Commercial accounts receivable are initially recognized at their fair value and subsequently at their amortized cost in accordance with the effective rate method, less the provision for impairment according to the model of the expected credit losses. The Company applies the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires that expected lifetime losses be recognized upon initial recognition of accounts receivable.
In the event that the Company transfers its rights to any financial asset (generally accounts receivable) to a third party in exchange for a cash payment, the Company evaluates whether all risks and rewards have been transferred, in which case the account receivable is derecognized.
The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor, the probability that the debtor goes bankrupt or financial reorganization are considered indicators of a significant increase in credit risk.
The carrying amount of the asset is reduced as the provision account is used and the loss is recognized in the consolidated income statement under "Cost of sales". When an account receivable is written off, it is regularized against the provision account for the account receivable.
2.12. 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 and a low risk of loss of value.
2.13. 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.
2.14. Trade and other accounts payables
Trade payables and other accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost.
2.15. 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 and compliance with contractual agreements at the closing date of these financial statements.
Convertible Notes
The component parts of the convertible notes issued by LATAM Airlines Group S.A. are classified separately as financial liabilities and equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component is estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments. This amount is recorded as a liability on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method until extinguished upon conversion or at the instrument’s maturity date. The conversion option classified as equity is determined by the deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. This is recognized and included in other equity, net of income tax effects. and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in other equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in other equity will be transferred to share capital. Where the conversion option remains unexercised at maturity date of the convertible bond, the balance recognized in other equity will be transferred to retained earnings. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss upon conversion or expiration of the conversion option.
Transaction costs that relate to the issue of the convertible notes are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the allocation of the gross proceeds. Transaction costs relating to the equity component are charged directly to equity.
2.16. Current and deferred taxes
The tax expense for the period or exercise comprises income and deferred taxes.
The current income tax expense is calculated based on tax laws enacted at the date of the statement of financial position, in the countries in which the subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.
Deferred taxes are recognized on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated financial statements. When deferred taxes arise from the initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a transaction other than a business combination, which at the time of the transaction does not affect either the accounting result or the tax profit or loss, they are recorded. Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the consolidated statements of financial position and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability discharged.
Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that the future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
The tax (current and deferred) is recognized in the statement of income by function, unless it relates to an item recognized in other comprehensive income, directly in equity or arises from a business combination. In this case the tax is also recognized in other comprehensive income or, directly in the statement of income by function, respectively.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if, and only if:
(a) there is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets and liabilities, and
(b) the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either: (i) the same taxable entity, or (ii) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
LATAM Airlines Group S.A has evaluated the potential impact derived from the implementation of the so-called “GloBE or Pillar Two rules”, through which multinational groups are expected to pay a minimum effective tax rate of 15%. Based on the analysis carried out, we have concluded that, either because they fall outside the scope of the GloBE Rules (as they do not meet the criteria to be considered a “Constituent Entity” for the purposes of the Pillar) or they are located in jurisdictions that do not have implemented such GloBE Rules, no entity, permanent establishment or vehicle of the LATAM Group will have a financial impact due to the GloBE Rules in fiscal year 2024. The LATAM Group constantly evaluates these potential impacts,
including the recent Law 15.079/2024 published in Brazil during the month of December, which makes definitive Provisional Measure No. 1.262/2024 published on October 3, 2024 by the Federal Government. This law introduces the Pillar Two rules in the country without relevant changes with respect to the initial provisional measure, incorporating certain aspects of the GloBE rules into Brazilian tax legislation. The new rules in Brazil will come into effect in fiscal year 2025. At the closing of these financial statements, the group does not present expenses (income) for current taxes related to the income tax of Pillar Two.
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its Subsidiaries have adopted the exception of paragraph 4A of IAS 12, incorporated in the amendment published on May 23, 2023, relating to the recognition and disclosure of deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
2.17. 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 value of the shares of the Company are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 2: Share-based payments, for cash settled awards the fair value, updated as of the closing date of each reporting period or exercise, is recorded as a liability with charge to remuneration.
(c) Post-employment and other long-term benefits
Provisions are made for these obligations by applying the method of the projected unit credit method, and considering estimates of future permanence, mortality rates and future wage increases determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest-rate curves. Actuarial gains or losses are shown in other comprehensive income.
(d) Incentives
The Company has an annual incentives plan for its personnel for compliance with objectives and individual contribution to the results. The incentives eventually granted consist of a given number or portion of monthly remuneration and the provision is made on the basis of the amount estimated for distribution.
(e) Termination benefits
The group recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group terminates the employee relationship; and (b) when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits.
2.18. Provisions
Provisions are recognized when:
(i) The Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event;
(ii) It is probable that payment is going to be required to settle an obligation; and
(iii) A reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made.
2.19. 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 provided 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 on a monthly basis the probability of expiration of air tickets, with refund clauses, based on their history of use. Air tickets without a refund clause expire 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 capitalized and deferred until the moment of providing the corresponding service. These assets are included under the heading "Other current non-financial assets" in the Consolidated Classified Statement of Financial Position.
(d) Frequent passenger program
The Company maintains the following loyalty programs: LATAMPASS’s and LATAMPASS’s Brazil, whose objective is building customer loyalty through the delivery of miles or points.
These programs give their frequent passengers the possibility of earning LATAMPASS’s miles or points, which grant the right to a selection of both air and non-air awards. Additionally, the Company sells the LATAMPASS miles or points to financial and non-financial partners through commercial alliances to award miles or points to their customers.
To reflect the miles and points earned, the loyalty program mainly includes two types of transactions that are considered revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations: (1) Passenger Ticket Sales Earning miles or points (2) miles or points sold to financial and non-financial partner (*).
(*) The current contract with the financial partner in Chile will end on December 31, 2025, and the Company is evaluating alternatives that, in the best interest of the company, contribute to further improve the LATAMPASS Program and its partners.
(1) Passenger Ticket Sales Earning Miles or Points.
In this case, the miles or points are awarded to customers at the time that the company performs the flight.
To value the miles or points earned with travel, we consider the quantitative value a passenger receives by redeeming miles for a ticket rather than paying cash, which is referred to as Equivalent Ticket Value ("ETV"). Our estimate of ETV is adjusted for miles and points that are not likely to be redeemed ("breakage").
The balance of miles and points that are pending to redeem are included within deferred revenue.
(2) Miles sold to financial and non-financial partners
To value the miles or points earned through financial and non-financial partners, the performance obligations with the client are estimated separately. To calculate these performance obligations, different components that add value in the commercial contract must be considered, such as marketing, advertising and other benefits, and finally the value of the points awarded to customers based on our ETV. The value of each of these components is finally allocated in proportion to their relative prices. The performance obligations associated with the valuation of the points or miles earned become part of the Deferred Revenue, and the remaining performance obligations are recorded as revenue when the miles or points are delivered to the client.
When the miles and points are exchanged for products and services other than the services provided by the Company, the income is recognized immediately; when the exchange is made for air tickets of any airline of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries, the income is deferred until the air transport service is provided.
The miles and points that the Company estimates will not be exchanged are recognized in the results based on the consumption pattern of the miles or points effectively exchanged by customers. The Company uses statistical models to estimate the probability of exchange, which is based on historical patterns and projections.
2.20. Leases
The Company recognizes contracts that meet the definition of a lease as a right of use asset and a lease liability on the date when the underlying asset is available for use.
Right of use assets are measured at cost including the following:
-The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;
-Lease payment made at or before commencement date;
-Initial direct costs, and
-Restoration costs.
The right of use assets are recognized in the statement of financial position in Property, plant and equipment.
Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following payments:
-Fixed payments including in substance fixed payment.
-Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate;
-The exercise price of a purchase option, if it is reasonably certain that the option will be exercised.
The discount rate that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. uses is the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. This is the rate of interest that causes the present value of (a) lease payments and (b) the unguaranteed residual value to equal the sum of (i) the fair value of the underlying asset and (ii) any initial direct costs of the lessor.
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. uses its incremental borrowing rate if the interest rate implicit in the lease cannot be readily determined.
Lease liabilities are recognized in the statement of financial position under “Other financial liabilities, current or non-current”.
Interest accrued on financial liabilities is recognized in the consolidated statement of income in "Financial costs".
Principal and interest are present in the consolidated cash flow as "Payments of lease liability" and "Interest paid", respectively, within financing cash flows.
Payments associated with short-term leases without purchase options and leases of low-value assets are recognized on a straight-line basis in profit or loss at the time of accrual. Those payments are presented within operating cash flows.
The Company analyzes the financing agreements of aircraft, mainly considering characteristics such as:
(a) That the Company initially acquired the aircraft or took an important part in the process of direct acquisition with the manufacturers.
(b) Due to the contractual conditions, it is virtually certain that the Company will execute the purchase option of the aircraft at the end of the lease term.
Since these financing agreements are “substantially purchases” and not leases, the related liability is considered as a financial debt classified under IFRS 9 and continues to be presented within the “Other financial liabilities” described in Note 18. On the other hand, the aircraft are presented in Property, Plant and Equipment, as described in Note 16, as “own aircraft”.
The Group qualifies as sale and lease transactions, operations that lead to a sale according to IFRS 15. More specifically, a sale is considered as such if there is no option to purchase the goods at the end of the lease term.
If the sale by the seller-lessee is classified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the underlying asset is derecognized, and a right-of-use asset equal to the portion retained proportionally of the amount of the asset is recognized.
If the sale by the seller-lessee is not classified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the transferred assets are kept in the financial statements and a financial liability equal to the sale price is recognized (received from the buyer-lessor).
2.21. 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.
2.22. Maintenance
The costs incurred for scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to the use of the aircraft expressed in terms of cycles and flight hours.
In case of aircraft include in property, plant and equipment, these maintenance cost are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of aircraft on right of use, a liability is accrued based on the use of the main components is recognized, since a contractual obligation with the lessor to return the aircraft on agreed terms of maintenance levels exists. These are recognized as Cost of sales.
Additionally, some contracts that comply with the definition of lease establish the obligation of the lessee to make deposits to the lessor as a guarantee of compliance with maintenance and return conditions. These deposits, often called maintenance reserves, accumulate until a major maintenance is performed; and once done, 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.
2.23. Environmental costs
Disbursements related to environmental protection are charged to results when incurred or accrue.
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 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 has exposure to market factors such as: (i) fuel-price risk, (ii) exchange -rate risk (FX), and (iii) interest -rate risk.
The Company has developed manuals and procedures to manage the market risk, which goal is to identify, quantify, monitor and mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market factors mentioned above.
For the foregoing, Management monitors the evolution of fuel price levels, exchange rates and interest rates, quantifies their exposures and their risk, and develops and executes hedging strategies.
(i) Fuel-price risk
Exposure:
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 hedge the fuel-price risk exposure, the Company operates with derivative instruments (swaps and options) whose underlying assets may be different from Jet Fuel, such as West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude, Brent (“BRENT”) crude and distillate Heating Oil (“HO”), which may have a high correlation with Jet Fuel and greater liquidity.
Fuel Hedging Results:
During the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized losses of US$(18.1) million for fuel hedging net of premiums in the costs of sales for the year. During the period ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized gains of US$15.7 million for fuel hedging net of premiums in the costs of sales for the year.
As of December 31, 2024, the market value of the fuel positions amounted to US$7.7 million (positive). At the end of December 2023, this market value was US$22.1 million (positive).
The following tables show the level of hedge for different periods:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Positions as of December 31, 2024 (*) | | Maturities |
| | Q125 | | Q225 | | Q325 | | Q425 | | Total |
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption | | 51 | % | | 47 | % | | 34 | % | | 30 | % | | 41 | % |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Positions as of December 31, 2023 (*) | | Maturities |
| | Q124 | | Q224 | | Q324 | | Q424 | | Total |
Percentage of coverage over the expected volume of consumption | | 35 | % | | 32 | % | | 30 | % | | 22 | % | | 30 | % |
(*) The percentage 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. Therefore, the policy is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in price.
The current hedge positions 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 of financial instruments according to reasonable changes in the price of fuel and their effect on equity.
The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$5 per barrel in the underlying reference price curve at the end of December 2024 and the end of December 2023. The projection period was defined until the end of the last fuel hedging contract in force, being the last business day of the second half of 2025.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Benchmark price (US$ per barrel) | | Positions as of December 31, 2024 effect on Equity (MUS$) | | Positions as of December 31, 2023 effect on Equity (MUS$) |
| | | | |
+5 | | +15.7 | | +10.8 |
-5 | | -12.8 | | -10.7 |
Given the fuel hedging structure as of the fourth quarter of 2024, which considers a portion free of hedges, a vertical drop of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly daily average), would have meant an impact of approximately US$156.7 million lower fuel cost. For the same period, a vertical rise of 5 dollars in the JET reference price (considered as the monthly daily average), would have meant an approximate impact of US$138.1 million in higher fuel costs.
(ii) Foreign exchange rate risk:
Exposure:
The functional currency of the financial statements of the parent company is the US dollar, so that the risk of the Transactional and Conversion exchange rate arises mainly from the Company's business, strategic and accounting operating activities that are expressed in a monetary unit other than the functional currency.
The subsidiaries of LATAM are also exposed to foreign exchange risk whose impact affects the Company's Consolidated Income.
The largest operational exposure to LATAM's exchange risk comes from the concentration of businesses in Brazil, which are mostly denominated in Brazilian real (R$), and are actively managed by the Company.
At a lower concentration, the Company is also exposed to the fluctuation of other currencies, such as: Euro, Pound sterling, Australian dollar, Colombian peso, Chilean peso, Argentine peso, Paraguayan guarani, Mexican peso, Peruvian Sol and New Zealand dollar.
Mitigation:
The Company mitigates currency risk exposures by contracting hedging or non-hedging derivative instruments or through natural hedges or execution of internal operations.
Exchange Rate Hedging Results (FX):
As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized gains of US$10.0 million for FX hedging derivatives net of premiums reflected in exchange rate. At the end of December of 2023, the Company recognized losses for US$10.1 million for FX hedging derivatives in exchange rate.
As of December 31, 2024, the market value of hedging FX derivative positions is US$3.1 million (positive). As of December 31, 2023, the market value of the hedging FX derivative positions was US$1.5 million (negative). As of December 31, 2024, the Company has current hedging FX derivatives for US$165 million. . As of December 31, 2023, the Company held hedging FX derivatives of US$404 million.
Sensitivity analysis:
A depreciation of the R$/US$ exchange rate, negatively affects the Company's operating cash flows, however, also positively affects the value of the positions of derivatives contracted.
The following table shows the sensitivity of current hedging FX derivative instruments according to reasonable changes in the exchange rate and its effect on equity.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Appreciation (depreciation) of R$/US$ | | Effect on equity as of December 31, 2024 (MUS$) | | Effect on equity as of December 31, 2023 (MUS$) |
| | | | |
-10% | | -3.6 | | -10.0 |
+10% | | +1.0 | | +19.0 |
Impact of Exchange rate variation in the Consolidated Income Statements (Foreign exchange gains/losses).
In the case of TAM S.A., whose functional currency is the Brazilian real, a large part of its assets and liabilities is expressed in US dollars. Therefore, when converting financial assets and liabilities, from US dollar to Brazilian reais, they have an impact on the result of TAM S.A., which is consolidated in the Company's Income Statement.
In order to reduce the impact on the Company's result caused by appreciations or depreciations of R$/US$, the Company carries out internal operations to reduce the net exposure in US$ for TAM S.A.
The following table shows the impact of the Exchange Rate variation on the Consolidated Income Statement when the R$/US$ exchange rate appreciates or depreciates by 10%:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Appreciation (depreciation) of R$/US$ | | Effect on Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2024 (MUS$) | | Effect on Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2023 (MUS$) |
| | | | |
-10% | | -54.7 | | +6.6 |
+10% | | +54.7 | | -6.6 |
Impact of the exchange rate variation in the Equity, from translating the subsidiaries financial statements into US Dollars (Cumulative Translate Adjustment).
Since 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 (Cumulative Translation Adjustment) 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 following table shows the impact on the Cumulative Translation Adjustment included in Other comprehensive income recognized in Total equity in the case of an appreciation or depreciation of 10% in the exchange rate R$/US$:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Appreciation (depreciation) of R$/US$ | | Effect at December 31, 2024 MUS$ | | Effect at December 31, 2023 MUS$ |
| | | | |
-10% | | +318.51 | | +327.01 |
+10% | | -260.60 | | -267.56 |
(iii) Interest -rate risk:
Exposure:
The Company has exposure to fluctuations in interest rates affecting the future cash flows of the assets, and current and future financial liabilities.
The Company is mainly exposed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and other less relevant interest rates such as Brazilian Interbank Certificates of Deposit (“CDI”) .
Of the company's financial debt subject to variable rates, all of the contracts maintain exposure to the SOFR reference rate.
Mitigation:
Currently, 76% (50% as of December 31, 2023) of the debt is fixed against fluctuations in interest rates. The variable debt is indexed to the reference rate based on SOFR.
Likewise, most of the company's liquidity is denominated in US dollars and indexed to a return rate similar and with a similar fluctuation to the SOFR rate, which helps reduce exposure.
Rate Hedging Results:
During the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not recognize any losses for premiums paid. At the end of December of 2023, losses of US$1.8 million were recognized corresponding to the recognition in profit for premiums paid.
As of December 31, 2024, the value of the interest rate derivative positions corresponding to operating leases to fix the income of future plane arrivals amounted to US$4.68 million (negative), at the end of December 2023 the Company did not have interest rate derivatives outstanding.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an increase in the right-of-use asset due to the expiration of derivatives associated with some aircraft leases amounted to US$ 0.1 million (negative). As of December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a decrease in the right-of-use asset due to the expiration of derivatives for US$14.9 million associated with the aircraft lease. On this same date, a lower depreciation expense of the right-of-use asset for US$1.9 million (positive) was recognized. At the end of December of 2023, the Company recognized US$1.1 (positive) million for this same concept.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company settled derivatives associated with hedges of leased aircraft for US$0.1 million (negative)
Sensitivity analysis:
The following table shows the sensitivity of changes in financial obligations that are not hedged against interest-rate variations. These changes are considered reasonably possible, based on current market conditions each date.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Increase (decrease) of future curve SOFR rate | | Positions as of December 31, 2024 effect on Income (Loss) before taxes (MUS$) | | Positions as of December 31, 2023 effect on Income (Loss) before tax (MUS$) |
| | | | |
+100 basis points | | -9.28 | | -20.27 |
-100 basis points | | +9.28 | | +20.27 |
A large part of the derivatives of current rates are recorded as cash flow hedge contracts, therefore, a variation in interest rates has an impact on the market value of the derivatives, whose changes affect the equity of the entity.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Increase (decrease) interest rate curve | | Positions as of December 31, 2024 effect on equity (MUS$) | | Positions as of December 31, 2023 effect on equity (MUS$) |
| | | | |
+100 basis points | | +5.9 | | — |
-100 basis points | | -6.3 | | — |
The calculations were made by vertically increasing (decreasing) 100 basis points of the interest rate curve, both scenarios being reasonably possible according to historical market conditions.
The sensitivity calculation hypothesis must assume that the forward curves of interest rates will not necessarily reflect the real value of the compensation of the flows. In addition, the interest rate structure is dynamic over time.
During the period ended December 31, 2024, the Company did not record any losses for ineffectiveness in the consolidated income statement for this type of coverage.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk occurs when the counterparty does not comply with its obligations to the Company under a specific contract or financial instrument, resulting in a loss in the market value of a financial instrument (only financial assets, not liabilities). The customer portfolio as of December 31, 2024 has experienced an decrease by 4% compared to the balance as of December 31, 2023, mainly due to an decrease in passenger transportation
operations (travel agencies and corporate) that decrease by 2% in its sales, mainly affecting the payment methods credit card 2%, and cash sales 1%. In relation to the cargo business, it presented a increase in its operations of 14% compared to December 2023. There was special consideration for the Expected Credit Loss calculation for the clients with balance at the year end that management considered risky. The Expected Credit Loss at the end of December 2024 had a decrease 14% compared to the end of December 2023, as a result of the decrease in the portfolio due to collection, and due to the application of write-offs.
The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operational activities and its financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other types of instruments, exchange rate transactions and derivatives contracts.
To reduce the credit risk related to operational activities, the company has implemented credit limits to limit the exposure of its debtors, which are permanently monitored for the LATAM network, when deemed necessary, agencies have been blocked for cargo and passenger businesses.
(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 and short-term mutual funds. 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) its credit rating, and (ii) investment limits according to the Company’s level of liquidity. According to these two parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous two 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 (“IATA”), international 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, it is 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.
Under certain of the Company’s credit card processing agreements, the financial institutions have the right to require that the Company maintain a reserve equal to a portion of advance ticket sales that have been processed by that financial institution, but for which the Company has not yet provided the air transportation. Additionally, the financial institutions have the ability to require additional collateral reserves or withhold payments related to receivables to be collected if increased risk is perceived related to liquidity covenants in these agreements or negative balances occur.
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, Billing Settlement Plan (“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.
The sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aereas 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 mitigate the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently . 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 does not have sufficient funds to pay its obligations.
Due to the cyclical nature of its business, the operation and investment needs, along with the need for financing, the Company requires liquid funds, defined as Cash and cash equivalents plus other short-term financial assets, to meet its payment obligations.

The Company has fuel, interest rate and exchange rate hedging strategies involving derivatives contracts with different financial institutions.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company maintains guarantees for US$0.5 million corresponding to derivative transactions. The decrease is due to: i) Lower collateral transfers to bank counterparties at the time of contract closing and ii) changes in fuel prices, exchange rates and interest rates. At the end of 2023, the Company had guarantees for US$12.8 million corresponding to derivative transactions.
3.2. Capital risk management
The objectives of the Company, in relation to capital management are: (i) to meet the minimum equity requirements and (ii) to maintain an optimal capital structure.
The Company monitors contractual obligations and regulatory requirements in the different countries where the group's companies are domiciled to ensure faithful compliance with the minimum equity requirement, the most restrictive limit of which is to maintain positive liquid equity.
Additionally, the Company periodically monitors the short and long term cash flow projections to ensure that it has sufficient cash generation alternatives to meet future investment and financing commitments.
The Company's international credit rating is the result of its ability to meet its long-term financial commitments. As of December 31, 2024, The Company has a national scale rating of BBB+ with positive outlook by Fitch and a rating of BBB with positive outlook by Feller. On an international scale, it has a rating of BB- with a positive outlook by Standard & Poor's, a rating of Ba2 with a stable outlook by Moody's and a rating of BB- with a positive outlook by Fitch.
3.3. Estimates of fair value.
At December 31, 2024, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at fair value. These are grouped into two categories:
1. Derivative financial instruments:
This category includes the following instruments:
-Fuel derivative contracts,
-Currency derivative contracts,
-Interest rate derivative contracts.
2. Financial Investments:
This category includes the following instruments:
-Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent).
The Company has classified the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of information used in the assessment. This hierarchy consists of 3 levels (I) fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (II) fair value calculated through valuation methods based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) and (III) fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as investments acquired for trading, is based on quoted market prices at the close of the period using the current price of the buyer. The fair value of financial assets not traded in active markets (derivative contracts) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize use of available market information. Valuation techniques generally used by the Company are quoted market prices of similar instruments and / or estimating the present value of future cash flows using forward price curves of the market at period end.
The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value, depending on the level of information used in the assessment:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The book values of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature. In the case of cash on hand, bank balances, overnight, time deposits and accounts payable, non-current, fair value approximates their carrying values.
The fair value of other financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate for similar financial instruments (Level II). In the case of Other financial assets, the valuation was performed according to market prices at period end. The book value of Other financial liabilities, current or non-current, do not include lease liabilities.
NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS
The Company has used estimates to value and record some of the assets, liabilities, revenue, expenses and commitments. Basically, these estimates refer to:
(a) Impairment of Intangible asset with indefinite useful life
Management conducts an impairment test annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount.
Management’s value-in-use calculations included significant judgments and assumptions relating to revenue growth rates, exchange rates, discount rates, inflation rates, fuel price. The estimation of these assumptions requires significant judgment by management as these variables are inherently uncertain; however, the assumptions used are consistent with the Company’s forecasts approved by management. Therefore, management evaluates and updates the estimates as necessary in light of conditions that affect these variables. The main assumptions used as well as the corresponding sensitivity analyses are shown in Note 15.
(b) Depreciation expense and impairment of Properties, Plant and Equipment
The depreciation of assets is calculated based on a straight-line basis, except for certain technical components depreciated on cycles and hours flown. These useful lives are reviewed on an annual basis according to 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 result in a useful life different from what has been 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.
The residual values are estimated according to the market value that the assets will have at the end of their life. The residual value and useful life of the assets are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, once a year. When the value of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is immediately reduced to its recoverable amount.
The Company has concluded that the Properties, Plant and Equipment cannot generate cash inflows to a large extent independent of other assets, therefore the impairment assessment is made as an integral part of the only Cash Generating Unit maintained by the Company, Air Transport. The Company checks when there are signs of impairment, whether the assets have suffered any impairment losses at the Cash Generated Unit level.
(c) Recoverability of deferred tax assets
Management records deferred taxes on the temporary differences that arise between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets on tax losses are recognized to the extent that it is probable that future tax benefits will be available to offset temporary differences.
The Company applies significant judgment in evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets. In determining the amounts of the deferred tax asset to be accounted for, management considers tax planning strategies, historical profitability, projected future taxable income (considering assumptions such as: growth rate, exchange rate, discount rate and fuel price consistent with those used in the impairment analysis of the group's cash-generating unit) and the expected timing of reversals of existing temporary differences.
(d) Air tickets sold that will not be finally used.
The Company records the sale of air tickets as deferred revenue. Ordinary revenue from the sale of tickets is recognized in the statement of income when the passenger transportation service is provided or expires due to non-use. The Company evaluates the probability of expiration of air tickets on a monthly basis, based on the history of use. A change in this probability could impact revenue in the year in which the change occurs and in future years.
As of December 31, 2024, deferred revenues associated with air tickets sold amount to ThUS$2,012,661 (ThUS$2,009,242 as of December 31, 2023). A hypothetical change of one percentage point in the probability of expiration of up to ThUS$10,016 per month (ThUS$10,150 as of December 31, 2023).
(e) Valuation of the miles and points awarded to the holders of the loyalty programs, pending use.
As of December 31, 2024, deferred revenue associated with the LATAM Pass loyalty program from Spanish-speaking countries increased to ThUS$949,495 (ThUS$1,099,580 as of December 31, 2023). An hypothetical change of one percentage point in the probability of redemption would translate into a cumulative impact of ThUS$33,479 on the results of 2024 (ThUS$31,510 as of December 31, 2023). Deferred revenue associated with the LATAM Pass Brazil loyalty program increased to ThUS$203,058 as of December 31, 2024 (ThUS$179,151 as of December 31, 2023). An hypothetical change of one percentage point in the exchange probability would result in an accumulated impact of ThUS$5,537 on the results of 2023 (ThUS$5,125 as of December 31, 2023).
The company, in conjunction with an external consultant, estimates the probability of non-use based on a predictive model, according to the redemption behaviors and validity of miles and points using significant judgments and critical assumptions which consider the historical use activity and the expected use pattern.
(f) Legal Contingencies
In the case of known contingencies, the Company records a provision when it has a present obligation, whether legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made. The assessment of contingencies inherently involves the exercise of significant judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events, the likelihood of loss being incurred and when determining whether a reliable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company assesses its liabilities and contingencies based upon the best information available, uses the knowledge, experience and professional judgment to the specific characteristics of the known risks. This process facilitates the early assessment and quantification of potential risks in individual cases or in the development of contingent matters. If we are unable to reliably estimate the obligation or conclude no loss is probable but it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred, no provision is recorded but the contingency is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Company recognized as the present obligation under an onerous contract as a provision when a contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.
(g) Leases
In year 2022, as a result of the arrival of new aircraft and the significant change in the flows of many current contracts, the Company evaluated the relevance in the current scenario of continuing to use the implicit rate, a methodology used in recent years, or whether it should in instead use a different approximation for calculating the rate. It was concluded that the implicit rate was not being able to reflect the economic environment in which the company operates, therefore it was not accurately representing the Company's indebtedness conditions. Because of this, all new contracts entered into from 2022 and all contracts that were modified from 2022 used the incremental rate. Existing contracts that remained unchanged continued using the original implicit discount rate.
(i)Discount rate
To determine the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the implicit rate in the contracts when it is easily determinable. Otherwise, it uses the lessee's estimated incremental borrowing rate, which is derived from the information available at the lease commencement date. We consider our recent debt issuances as well as publicly available data for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. A one percentage point decrease in our estimate of the rates used in determining the current lease liabilities for the registered fleet as of December 31, 2024, would increase the lease liability by approximately US$119 million (US$111 million as of December 31, 2023).
(ii)Lease term
In determining the lease term, all facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise an extension option are considered. Extension options (or periods after termination options) are only included in the lease term if it is reasonably certain that the lease will be extended (or not terminated). This is reviewed if a significant event or significant change in circumstances occurs that affects this assessment and is within the lessee's control.
These estimates are made based on the best information available on the events analyzed.
In any case, it is possible that events that may take place in the future make it necessary to modify them in future periods, which would be done prospectively.
NOTE 5 - SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of December 31, 2024, the Company considers that it has a single operating segment, Air Transport. This segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and is based on the way in which the business is managed, according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to open and close routes, as well as reassignment (airplanes, crew, personnel, etc.) within the network, which implies a functional interrelation between all of them, making them inseparable. This segment definition is one of the most common in the worldwide airline industry.
The Company’s revenues by geographic area are as follows:

The Company allocates revenues by geographic area based on the point of sale of the passenger ticket or cargo. Assets are composed primarily of aircraft and aeronautical equipment, which are used throughout the different countries, so it is not possible to assign a geographic area.
The Company has no customers that individually represent more than 10% of sales.

b) Impairment Test Intangible Assets with an indefinite useful life
As of December 31, 2024, the Company maintains only the CGU “Air Transport”.
The CGU “Air transport” considers the transport of passengers and cargo, both in the domestic markets of Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil, as well as in a series of regional and international routes in America, Europe, Africa and Oceania.
As of December 31 2024, in accordance with the accounting policy, the Company performed the annual impairment test.
The recoverable amount of the CGU was determined based on calculations of the value in use. These calculations use projections of 5 years of cash flows after taxes from the financial budgets approved by management. Cash flows beyond the budgeted period are extrapolated using growth rates and estimated average volumes, which do not exceed long-term average growth rates.
Management’s cash flow projections included significant judgements and assumptions related to annual revenue growth rates, discount rate, inflation rates, the exchange rate and the price of fuel. The annual revenue growth rate is based on past performance and management’s expectations of market development in each of the countries in which it operates. The discount rates used for the CGU "Air transport" are determined in US dollars, after taxes, and reflect specific risks related to the relevant countries of each of the operations. Inflation rates and exchange rates are based on the data available from the countries and the information provided by the Central Banks of the various countries where it operates, and the price of fuel is determined based on estimated levels of production, the competitive environment of the market in which they operate and their commercial strategy.
The recoverable values were determined using the following assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | CGU Air transport |
Annual growth rate (Terminal) | % | 0,0 – 4,7 |
Exchange rate | R$/US$ | 5,4 – 5,7 |
Discount rate based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) | % | 8,2 – 10,2 |
Fuel Price | US$/barrel | 100 |
The result of the impairment test, which includes a sensitivity analysis of its main variables, showed that the recoverable amount exceeded the book value of the cash-generating unit, and therefore no impairment was identified.
The CGU is sensitive to annual growth rates, discounts and exchange rates and fuel price. The sensitivity analysis included the individual impact of changes in critical estimates in determining recoverable amounts, namely:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Increase WACC Maximum | | Decrease rate Terminal growth Minimal | | Increase fuel price Maximum US$/barrel |
| % | | % | | |
Air Transportation CGU | 10.2 | | | 0 | | | 100 | |
In none of the above scenarios an impairment of the cash-generating unit was identified.

NOTE 17 - CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES
In the period ended December 31, 2024, the income tax provision was calculated and recorded, applying the semi-integrated tax system and a rate of 27%, based on the provisions of the Law. No. 21,210, published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Chile, dated February 24, 2020, which updates the Tax Legislation.
The net result for deferred tax corresponds to the variation of the period, of the assets and liabilities for deferred taxes generated by temporary differences and tax losses.
For the permanent differences that give rise to a book value of 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 have no effect on income tax expense.

(*) As a result of an agreement reached with the Brazilian tax authority, in the 2023 TAM Linhas Aereas S.A. was authorized to use part of its available tax losses to pay some tax contingencies. As the company does not recognize a deferred tax asset for its available tax losses, it was necessary to register an income in order to write off the liability previously recognized regarding the relevant tax contingencies.

The main assumptions used in the calculation of the provision in Chile are presented below:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | For the year ended December 31, |
Assumptions | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| | |

The discount rate is based on the bonds issued by the Central Bank of Chile with a maturity of 20 years. The RV-2020 mortality tables correspond to those established by the Commission for the Financial Market of Chile. The inflation rates are based on the yield curves of the long term nominal and inflation adjusted bonds based on BCU and BCPs issued by the Central Bank of Chile.
The calculation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation is sensitive to the variation of some actuarial assumptions such as discount rate, salary increase, rotation and inflation.

(c) CIP (Corporate Incentive Plan)
With the aim of incentivizing the retention of talent among the executives of the Company and in response to the exit of the Chapter 11 Procedure, it was agreed to grant an extraordinary and exceptional incentive called Corporate Incentive Plan (hereinafter also "CIP"), which will be enforceable and paid subject to compliance with the terms, clauses and conditions approved at the Board meeting dated April 25, 2023. In summary, the CIP contemplates three categories oriented to three different groups or categories of employees, whether they are hired by the Company directly, or in other companies of the LATAM group. These categories are as follows: Non-Executive Employees; Executives Not part of the Global Executive Meeting o “GEM”; and GEM Executives. Employees in each of these groups are only eligible for the CIP that corresponds to their respective category. The terms of each of these CIP categories were communicated to the respective employees between the months of January to December 2023.
Below are more background on each of the different categories of the CIP. Additionally, in Note 33 describes in more detail the main terms and conditions of the last two categories of the CIP (i.e., Non-GEM Executives; and GEM Executives):
i) Non-Executive Employees: The first subprogram was aimed at non-executive employees who, while hired in LATAM as of December 31, 2020, were still in their position as of April 30, 2023, which includes a fixed and guaranteed payment in cash on certain dates, depending on the country where the employee is hired.
This subprogram is available to those employees who were unable to qualify for one of the two categories below, or who were able to do so, chose not to participate in them.
ii) Executives Not part of the GEM: The second subprogram applies to senior executives not part of the GEM (Global Executive Meeting – Senior Managers, Managers, Assistant Managers). This program contemplates the creation of remuneration synthetic Units (hereinafter, simply "Units") that, by reference, are considered as equivalent to the price of one share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., and consequently, in case they become effective, they grant the worker the right to receive the payment in cash that results from multiplying the number of Units that become effective by the value per share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. that should be considered in accordance with CIP.
In this context, this program contemplates two different bonuses: (1) a withholding bonus, consisting of the amount in cash resulting from Units that are assigned to the respective employee, these Units being paid at 20% at month 15 and 80% at month 24, in each case, counted from the exit date of Chapter 11 Procedure (i.e., November 3, 2022) (the "Exit Date"). This is consequently a guaranteed payment for these employees; and (2) a bonus associated with the certain financial indicators of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its subsidiaries, which is reflected in Note 19 (b), becoming effective 20% at month 15 and 80% at month 24, in each case, from the Exit Date. Consequently, this is an eventual payment that is only made if these indicators are reached.
iii) GEM Executives: The third subprogram applies to the Company´s GEM executives (Global Executive Meeting) (CEO and employees whose job description is "vice presidents" or "directors"). This program, in essence, contemplates the creation of remuneration synthetic Units that, by referential means, are considered as equivalent to the price of one share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and consequently, in case they become effective, they grant the worker the right to receive the payment in cash that results from multiplying the number of Units that become effective by the value per share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. that must be considered according to the CIP.
These Units are divided into:
(1) Units associated with the employee's permanence in the Company ("RSUs" – Retention Shares Units); and (2) Units associated with both the employee's permanence in the Company and the performance of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. ("PSUs" – Performance Shares Units). This performance is ultimately measured according to the share price of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. in the terms and conditions of the CIP.
Both the RSUs and the PSUs are consequently associated with the passage of time, becoming effective by partialities according to the calendar contemplated by the CIP. For the case of RSUs, having a vesting guaranteed by partialities as explained in more detail in Note 33. On the other hand, the PSUs also consider the market value of the share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. considering a liquid market. However, as long as there is no such liquid market, the share price will be determined on the basis of representative transactions. As explained in more detail in Note 33, PSUs constitute a contingent and non-guaranteed payment.
In addition, some GEM Executives will also be entitled to receive a fixed and guaranteed cash payment ("MPP" – Management Protection Plan) on certain dates according to the CIP. Those employees who are eligible for this MPP will also be eligible for a limited number of additional MSUs ("MPP Based RSUs").
In all cases, the respective employees must have remained as such in the Company at the corresponding accrual date to qualify for these benefits.
During the year of 2024 until the month of December, the amount accrued related to this CIP was MUS$78.78, which is recorded in the "Administrative expenses" line of the Consolidated Statement of Income by Function. As of December 2024, the amount of this plan recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position is MUS$152.6.

NOTE 24 - EQUITY
(a) Capital
The Company’s objective is to maintain an appropriate level of capitalization that enables it to ensure access to the financial markets for carrying out its medium and long-term objectives, optimizing the return for its shareholders and maintaining a solid financial position.
The paid capital of the Company at December 31, 2024, amounts to ThUS$5,003,534 divided into 604,437,877,587 common stock of a same series (ThUS$5,003,534 divided into 604,437,877,587 shares as of December 31, 2023), a single series nominative, ordinary character with no par value. The total number of authorized shares of the Company as of December 31, 2024, corresponds to 604,441,789,335 shares. There are no special series of shares and no privileges. The form of its stock certificates and their issuance, exchange, disablement, loss, replacement and other similar circumstances, as well as the transfer of the shares, is governed by the provisions of the Corporate Law and its regulations.
At the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on April 20, 2023, it was agreed to:
i) A decrease in the Company's capital for an amount of ThUS$7,501,896, without altering the number and characteristics of the shares into which it is divided, by absorbing the Company's accumulated losses as of December 31, 2022 for the same amount;
ii) Others decrease of the Company's capital for an amount of ThUS$178, without altering the number and characteristics of the shares into which it is divided, through the absorption of the equity account of "Treasury Shares" as of December 31, 2022 for the same amount, produced on the occasion of the January 2013 reduction of capital stock by operation of law that took place in accordance with the provisions of Article 27 of the Corporations Law.
iii) Deduction of the Company´s capital the account "Costs of issuing shares and new convertible notes, for an amount of ThUS$810,279.
On September 6, 2023, by public deed granted at the Notary of Santiago of Mr. Eduardo Diez Morello, under repertoire number 15,327-2023 entitled "Declaración de Colocación y Vencimiento Plazo de Colocación Bonos Convertibles "Series G", "Series H" and "Series I" and Reducción de Capital de Pleno Derecho", it was realized that on September 5, 2023 the maturity of the placement term (the "Placement Term") of Convertible Notes issued on the occasion of the capital increase agreed at the Company's Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting held on July 5, 2022. Consequently, in accordance with the mentioned in number Four of Clause Six of the respective notes issuance contract (the "Issuance Agreement"), as of that date the amount placed against it remained unchanged, and consequently the Convertible Notes not placed on that date were null and void. For the sake of completeness, it was declared that upon maturity of the Placement Term, 123,605,720 Series G Convertible Notes and 37 Series I Convertible Notes (collectively, the "Unplaced Convertible Notes") remained unplaced, for an amount of US$123,605,720 and US$37, respectively (hereinafter, together, the "Unplaced Amount"). The conversion option of the Unplaced Convertible Notes was backed by 1,965,903,665 shares as equity.
Likewise, in the aforementioned deed it was realized that since all the Unplaced Convertible Bonds have been terminated, since they have been null and void, they cannot be converted into shares of the issuer, consequently reducing the Company's Capital Share by an amount equal to the Unplaced Amount.
Therefore, as of September 6, 2023, the amount of the Share Capital was reduced by law in the amount of ThUS$123,606, equivalent to 1,965,903,665 shares. As a result of the foregoing, as of that date, the total statutory share capital of the Company was reduced by law from the amount of ThUS$5,127,182, divided into 606,407,693,000 shares, of the same and unique series, without par value, to the amount of ThUS$5,003,576, divided into 604,441,789,335 shares, of which MUS$5,003,534, equivalent to 604,437,877,587 shares, are fully paid. To date, the balance of MUS$42, equivalent to 3,911,748 shares, are pending of subscription and payment and are intended exclusively to respond to the conversion of 42,398 Series H Convertible Notes.
All of the above was explained in detail at the Extraordinary Shareholders' Meeting of the Company held on April 25, 2024, in which it was agreed, among other things, (i) to record the aforementioned reduction by operation of law in the Share Capital, and the granting of the aforementioned public deed dated September 6, 2023; and (ii) on the basis of the above, adapt the Fifth permanent and First Transitory articles of the corporate statute, relating to share capital.

(e) Other equity- Value of conversion right - Convertible Notes
(e.1) Notes subscription
The Convertible Notes were issued to be place in exchange for a cash contribution, in exchange for settlement of Chapter 11 Proceeding or a combination of both. Convertible Notes issued in exchange for cash were valued at fair value (the cash received). Notes issued in exchange for settlement of Chapter 11 claims were valued considering the discount that each group of liabilities settled on at the emergence date. The table below shows the 3 Convertible Notes at their nominal values, the adjustment, if any, to arrive at their fair values and the amount of transaction costs. The conversion option classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument as a whole. The equity portion is recognized under Other equity at the time the Convertible Notes are issued.

The conversion option from the issuance of convertible notes classified as equity is determined by deducting the amount of the liability component from the fair value of the compound instrument (i.e. convertible notes) as a whole. This is recognized and included in equity, net of income tax effects, and is not subsequently remeasured. In addition, the conversion option classified as equity will remain in equity until the conversion option is exercised, in which case, the balance recognized in equity will be transferred to share capital. As of December 31, 2024, the portion not converted into equity corresponds to ThUS$39.
(e.3) The Convertible Notes
The contractual conditions of the G, H and I Convertible Notes consider the delivery of a fixed number of shares of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. at the time of settlement of the conversion option of each of them. The foregoing determined the classification of convertible notes as equity instruments, with the exception of Bond H, which considers, in addition to the delivery of a fixed number of shares, the payment of 1% annual interest with certain conditions for its payment and its accrual from 60 days after the exit Date. The payment of this interest gives rise to the recognition of a liability component for the class H convertible notes.
At the date of issue, the fair value of the liability component in the amount of ThUS$102,031 was estimated using the prevailing market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments.
Transaction costs relating to the liability component are included in the carrying amount of the liability portion and amortized over the period of the convertible notes using the effective interest method.

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. y Lan Cargo S.A. | | Comisión Europea | | — | | 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$8,562 (€8.220.000 Euros) This fine is being appealed by Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. On December 16, 2015, the European Court of Justice revoked the Commission’s decision because of discrepancies. The European Commission did not appeal the decision, but presented a new one on March 17, 2017 reiterating the imposition of the same fine on the eleven original airlines. The fine totals €776,465,000 Euros. It imposed the same fine as before on Lan Cargo and its parent, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., totaling €8.2 million Euros. On May 31, 2017 Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A. filed a petition with the General Court of the European Union seeking vacation of this decision. We presented our defense in December 2017. On July 12, 2019, we attended a hearing before the European Court of Justice to confirm our petition for vacation of judgment or otherwise, a reduction in the amount of the fine. On March 30, 2022, the European Court issued its ruling and lowered the amount of our fine from ThUS$8,562 (€8,220,000 Euros) to ThUS$2,327 (€2,240,000 Euros). This ruling was appealed by LAN Cargo S.A. and LATAM on June 9, 2022. The other eleven airlines also appealed the ruling affecting them. The European Commission responded to our appeal of September 7, 2022. Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM answered the Commission’s arguments on November 11, 2022. Finally, the European Commission replied to our defense in January 2023. On February 13, 2023, LAN Cargo, S.A. and LATAM requested the European Court to hold an oral hearing to ensure the Court's full understanding of some points of the discussion. The European Court held a hearing on April 10, 2024. We are currently awaiting a decision. On September 5, 2024, the Advocate General of the European Court of Justice issued a non-binding opinion affirming that the European Court should dismiss all the appeals of the airlines and maintain the fines imposed. The European Court usually follows the majority of the Advocate General’s recommendations, so it is highly likely that the final decision will confirm the fines, in our case, 2,240,000 euros. | | 2,327 |

Lan Cargo S.A. y LATAM Airlines Group S.A. | | In the Ovre Romerike Disrtict Court (Norway) and Directie Juridische Zaken Afdeling Ceveil Recht (Netherlands) | | — | | Lawsuits filed against European airlines by users of freight services in private lawsuits as a result of the investigation into alleged breaches of competition of cargo airlines, especially fuel surcharge. Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM Airlines Group S.A., have been sued in court proceedings directly and/or in third party, based in England, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany, these claims were filed in England, Norway, the Netherlands and Germany, but are only ongoing in Norway and the Netherlands. | | The two cases still pending, in Norway and the Netherlands, are in the evidence confirmation stage. The Norway case has been inactive since January 2014 (pending the final decision of the European Commission), but there has been judicial activity in the Netherlands case. In the Netherlands, most of the airlines involved in this case have been forced to withdraw their claim against LATAM and Lan Cargo after their previous claims in the Chapter 11 proceedings before the New York Court were dismissed. So, Lufthansa, Lufthansa Cargo, British Airways, Air France, KLM, Martinair and Singapore have withdrawn their claims and now only the Thai Airways claim is still ongoing against LATAM and Lan Cargo. Only the withdrawal of KLM’s claim has been notified in the case of Norway. | | — |

On October 30, 2023, LATAM filed a brief petitioning for the dismissal of the new precautionary measure petition of JetSmart. On November 2, 2023, the TDLC rejected the request for injunctions submitted by JetSmart and CONADECUS. On December 5, 2023, JetSmart complied with TDLC procedural order and published in the Chilean official newspaper a notice calling interested parties and stakeholders to submit information and opinions regarding JetSmart’s inquiry . On December 21, 2023 the FNE requested to be an intervening party in the process and requested to extend the deadline to provide background information. The TDLC accepted the postponement, leaving the deadline for providing information as February 5, 2024. On February 1, 2024, LATAM submitted a brief to TDLC advocating for its position and providing background information regarding JetSmart’s inquiry. The Office of the National Economic Prosecutor (FNE), the JAC, the National Consumer Service (SERNAC), Sky Airline and CONADECUS also provided information in January and February 2024. The Civil Aviation Board submitted a petition for clarification to the Antitrust Court on February 13, 2024, asking whether a tender could be convened of international frequencies on the Santiago-Lima Route that expire in 2024. LATAM filed a brief on February 15, 2024 stating that no matter needed to be clarified and that the petition should be dismissed. The Antitrust Court ruled against the Civil Aviation Board on February 15, 2024 because there were no obscure or doubtful aspects to clarify. On April 25, 2024, a tender was held for two Santiago-Lima frequencies and both were awarded to JetSmart. LATAM furnished the certificate of that tender to the Antitrust Court.

LATAM Airlines Group S.A | | 22° Juzgado Civil de Santiago | | C-29.945-2 016 | | The Company received notice of a civil liability claim by Inversiones Ranco Tres S.A. on January 18, 2017. It is represented by Mr. Jorge Enrique Said Yarur. It was filed against LATAM Airlines Group S.A. for an alleged contractual default by the Company and against Ramon Eblen Kadiz, Jorge Awad Mehech, Juan Jose Cueto Plaza, Enrique Cueto Plaza and Ignacio Cueto Plaza, directors and officers, for alleged breaches of their duties. In the case of Juan Jose Cueto Plaza, Enrique Cueto Plaza and Ignacio Cueto Plaza, it alleges a breach, as controllers of the Company, of their duties under the incorporation agreement. LATAM has retained legal counsel specializing in this area to defend it. | | The claim was answered on March 22, 2017 and the plaintiff filed its replication on April 4, 2017. LATAM filed its rejoinder on April 13, 2017, which concluded the argument stage of the lawsuit. A reconciliation hearing was held on May 2, 2017, but the parties did not reach an agreement. The Court issued the evidentiary decree on May 12, 2017. We filed a petition for reconsideration because we disagreed with certain points of evidence. That petition was partially sustained by the Court on June 27, 2017. The evidentiary stage commenced and then concluded on July 20, 2017. Observations to the evidence must now be presented. That period expires August 1, 2017. We filed our observations to the evidence on August 1, 2017. We were served the decision on December 13, 2017 that dismissed the claim since LATAM was in no way liable. The plaintiff filed an appeal on December 26, 2017. Arguments were pled before the Santiago Court of Appeals on April 23, 2019, and on April 30, 2019, this Court confirmed the ruling of the trial court absolving LATAM. The losing party was ordered to pay costs in both cases. On May 18, 2019, Inversiones Ranco Tres S.A. filed a remedy of vacation of judgment based on technicalities and on substance against the Appellate Court decision. The Appellate Court admitted both appeals on May 29, 2019. On August 11, 2021 Inversiones Ranco Tres S.A. requested the suspension of the hearing of the Appeal, after the recognition by the 2nd Civil Court of Santiago of the foreign reorganization procedure in accordance with Law No. 20,720, for the entire period that said procedure lasts, a request that was accepted by the Supreme Court. In December 2022 LATAM requested the end of the suspension, which was granted on February 17, 2023. Arguments were presented to the Supreme Court on April 27, 2023. On August 4, 2023, the Supreme Court dismissed the remedies of vacation of judgment based on substance and form filed by Inversiones Ranco Tres S.A. The resolution rejecting the claim remains firm and enforceable. The assessment of personal and procedural costs in favor of LATAM was carried out by both the Court of Appeals and the Court of First Instance. Case closed. | | Disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of December 2023 |
LatamAirlines Ecuador S.A | | Tribunal Distrital de lo Fiscal | | 17509-201 4-0088 | | An audit of the 2006 Income Tax Return that disallowed fuel expenses, fees and other items because the necessary support was not provided, according to Management. | | On August 6, 2018, the District Tax Claims Court rendered a decision denying the request for a refund of a mistaken payment. An appeal seeking vacation of this judgment by the Court was filed on September 5th and we are awaiting a decision by the Appellate judges. As of December 31, 2018, the attorneys believed that the probability of recovering this sum had fallen to 30%-40% because of the pressure being put by the Executive Branch on the National Court of Justice and the Judiciary in general for rulings not to affect government revenues and because the case involves differences that are based on insufficient documentation supporting the expense. Given the percentage loss (above 50%), the accounting write-off of this recovery has been carried out. As of this date, the Sala Especializada de lo Contencioso Tributario de la Corte Nacional de Justicia has decided by ruling not to accept the appeal, so the Company is analyzing whether to take additional actions or close the process. The company has decided not to continue with the lawsuit. | | Disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of March 2024 |

Latam Airlines Group S.A. | | 25° Juzgado Civil de Santiago | | C-8903-20 20 | | Class Action Lawsuit filed by AGRECU against LATAM Airlines Group S.A. for alleged breaches of the Law on Protection of Consumer Rights due to flight cancellations caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, requesting the nullity of possible abusive clauses, the imposition of fines and compensation for damages in defense of the collective interest of consumers. LATAM has hired specialist lawyers to undertake its defense | | On July 7, 2020 we were notified of the lawsuit. We filed our answer to the claim on August 21, 2020. A settlement was reached with AGRECU at that hearing that was approved by the Court on October 5, 2020. On October 7, 2020, the 25th Civil Court confirmed that the decision approving the settlement was final and binding. CONADECUS filed a brief on October 4, 2020 to become a party and oppose the agreement, which was dismissed on October 5, 2020. It petitioned for an official correction on October 8, 2020 and the annulment of all proceedings on October 22, 2020, which were dismissed, costs payable by CONADECUS, on November 16, 2020 and November 20, 2020, respectively. LATAM presented reports on the implementation of the agreement on May 19, 2021, November 19, 2021 and May 19, 2022, which concluded its obligation to report on that implementation. On December 28, 2022 the Civil Court ordered the filing of the file. The National Consumer and User Association (CONADECUS) filed appeals against these decisions with the Santiago Appellate Court that were joined under Case #14,213-2020. Arguments were made on March 8, 2023. In a decision on August 8, 2023, the Appellate Court dismissed the appeals by CONADECUS, costs included. On August 26, 2023, CONADECUS filed a petition based on technicalities and substance against the Appellate Court ruling in order to have it reversed by the Supreme Court. LATAM petitioned that such appeals be declared inadmissible in a brief filed September 13, 2023. On November 30, 2023, the Supreme Court declared CONADECUS’ petition inadmissible. On December 7, 2023, LATAM petitioned that the Appellate Court determine the costs of the procedure, which must be defrayed by CONADECUS. The procedural costs were set on December 19, 2023 and personal costs were decided on January 3, 2024.

LATAM Airlines Group S.A Sucursal Perú | | Tribunal Fiscal | | 12511-202 2 | | Appeal filed on October 11, 2022, against the Intendencia resolution No. 4070140000100, which declared unfounded the claim filed by the Company on September, 20, 2022, against the Determination Resolutions for alleged omissions of the Income Tax corresponding to the period 2014 and associated fines for the violation typified in numeral 1 of article 178 of the Tax Code. The main objections relate to SUNAT's lack of knowledge of the application of article 8 of the CDI between Peru and Chile regarding: i) Income obtained from the exclusivity contract of the Latam Pass program with the Banco de Crédito del Perú, ii) Income from sale of miles to non-airline partners and associated cost (sale of miles from the Latam Pass program to legal companies). | | On August 29, 2024, we received service of the Tax Court Decision #07706-4-2024 revoking the part of Intendant Resolution #4070140000100 concerning objections to Income Tax and income tax payments on exclusivity income from Banco de Crédito del Perú and the sale of miles to non-airline partners. It also ordered that the balance owed and the credit for payments made be recalculated. That recalculation does not alter the use of that amount as a compensable credit and bears no relationship to the objections dismissed. However, the National Customs and Tax Administration Commission of Peru (abbreviated as SUNAT, in Spanish) can file a contentious administrative claim with the Superior Court of Justice through November 29, 2024. The contingency has been classified as remote | | Disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of September 2024 |

The objections contested through the values indicated above correspond to the taxable base of the IGV for the national interline (domestic national sale). | | On September 16, 2022, an appeal was filed against the determination and fine resolutions issued by SUNAT; being that, through Resolution of the Intendencia No. 4070140000253, the claim filed by the company was partially founded and, in addition, (i) it rectified Annexes No. 01, 04, 05 and 06 of RD No. 0120030126112 to No. 0120030126123. , (ii) the Annex to RM N° 0120020037412 to N° 0120020037423, (iii) the balance in favor of the IGV for the tax periods of January and July 2016 contained in RD N° 0120030126112 and 0120030126118; and, (iv) rectified and continued the collection of the tax debt contained in RD No. 0120030126113 to 0120030126117 and 0120030126119 to 0120030126123 and RM No. 0120020037412 to 0120020037423.

SUNAT did not file a contentious administrative claim with the Superior Court of Justice against Tax Court Decision #3149-9-2024, so the process has ended. | | Disclosed in the Company's consolidated financial statements as of September 2024 |

NOTE 31 - COMMITMENTS
(a) Commitments arising from loans
In relation to certain contracts committed by the Company for the financing of the Boeing 777 aircraft, which are guaranteed by the Export – Import Bank of the United States of America, limits have been established for some financial indicators of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. on a consolidated basis. Under no circumstance does non-compliance with these limits generate loan acceleration.
The Company and its subsidiaries do not have credit agreements that impose limits on financial indicators of the Company or its subsidiaries, with the exception of those detailed below:
On July 15, 2024, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., acting through its Florida branch, amended, increased and extended the 2022 revolving credit facility (“Exit RCF”) from US$500 million to US$750 million with a consortium of nine banks led by JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. As of December 31, 2024, this credit facility is undrawn and fully available. Additionally, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., together with Professional Airline Services Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., issued: (i) on October 12, 2022, as amended on November 3, 2022, a five-year loan (“Term Loan B”) for US$1.1 billion (on October 15, 2024, this loan was fully repaid), (ii) on October 18, 2022, senior secured notes at 13.375% maturing in 2027 (“2027 Notes”) for a total principal amount of US$450 million (on October 15, 2024, this loan was fully repaid), and (iii) on October 18, 2022, senior secured notes at 13.375% maturing in 2029 (“2029 Notes,” together with the 2027 Notes, the “Notes”) for a total principal amount of US$700 million. The Exit RCF, the Term Loan B, and the Notes (collectively, the “Exit Financing”) share the same intangible collateral, consisting primarily of the FFP business (LATAM Pass loyalty program), the cargo business, certain slots, gates, and routes, as well as intellectual property and LATAM trademarks. The Exit Financing contains certain covenants that limit the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to, among other things, make certain types of restricted payments, incur debt or liens, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, enter into certain affiliate transactions, engage in certain business activities, or make certain investments. Additionally, the agreements include a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity level, measured at the consolidated level of the Company (LATAM Airlines Group S.A.), of US$750 million.
On July 15, 2024, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., acting through its Florida branch, amended, increased and extended the 2016 revolving credit facility (“RCF”) with a consortium of nine financial institutions led by Citibank, N.A., guaranteed by aircraft, engines and spare parts for a total committed amount from US$600 million to US$800 million. The RCF includes restrictions of minimum liquidity measured at the consolidated Company level (with a minimum level of US$750 million) and measured individually for LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. (with a minimum level of US$400 million). Compliance with these restrictions is a prerequisite for drawing under the line; if the line is used, compliance with said restrictions must be reported periodically, and non-compliance with these restrictions may trigger an acceleration of the loan. As of December 31, 2024, this line of credit is undrawn and fully available.
On November 3, 2022, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., acting through its Florida branch, entered into a five-year loan agreement (“Spare Engine Facility”) with, among other institutions, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, acting through its New York branch as loan agent, secured by spare engines for a principal amount of US$275 million. As of November 4, 2024, this loan was fully repaid. The loan included minimum liquidity covenants measured at the consolidated level of the Company (with a minimum level of US$750
million) and individually for LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. (with a minimum combined level of US$400 million).
On October 15, 2024, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. received the funds from its issuance of secured bonds at 7.875% maturing in 2030 (“2030 Notes,” together with the 2029 Notes, the “Notes”) for a total principal amount of US$1.4 billion. The Exit RCF and the Notes share the same intangible collateral, consisting primarily of the FFP business (LATAM Pass loyalty program), the cargo business, certain slots, gates, and routes, as well as intellectual property and LATAM trademarks. Additionally, the agreements include a minimum liquidity covenant requiring the Company to maintain a minimum liquidity level, measured at the consolidated level of the Company (LATAM Airlines Group S.A.), of US$750 million. The funds received were used to repay the Term Loan B and part of the 2027 Notes.
On November 4, 2024, LATAM Airlines Group S.A., acting through its Florida branch, entered into a new four-year revolving credit facility, secured by spare engines (“Spare Engine Facility”), with, among other institutions, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank as loan agent, for a total amount of US$300 million, of which US$275 million was drawn on the same day, leaving US$25 million available for the Company when required. The loan included minimum liquidity covenants measured at the consolidated level of the Company (with a minimum level of US$750 million) and individually for LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. (with a combined minimum level of US$400 million). The funds received were used to fully repay the previous spare engine financing. Finally, this issuance was linked to sustainability (“Sustainability-Linked”), which entails a commitment to reducing CO2 emissions intensity from March 2025 until the maturity of the facility. Compliance or non-compliance with these targets does not result in acceleration of the credit but instead applies a reward or penalty, respectively, on the interest rate.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company complies with the aforementioned minimum liquidity covenants.

In accordance with current legislation, the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 20, 2023, determined the amount of the annual remuneration for the Board for the period from that date until the next Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting scheduled to take place within the first quarter of 2024. In this context, in addition to the base remuneration, an additional remuneration was approved for each Board member, with an incremental amount based on the following criteria:
(a)During the first year following their appointment, until November 15, 2023, provided that the Director serves continuously in their position, each Director will be entitled to receive an additional amount to the base remuneration, equivalent to 9,226,234 units of remuneration or “URAs.”
(b)For the second year following their appointment, covering the period from the end of the first anniversary since their designation until November 15, 2024, under the same condition mentioned previously and approved by the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting in the first quarter of 2024, each Director will be entitled to receive another additional amount equivalent to 9,226,234 URAs.
(c)Likewise, each Director who becomes part of the Board Committee will also receive, as additional compensation, a variable amount equivalent to an additional one-third (1/3) calculated on the incremental remuneration that the respective Committee member is entitled to as a Director, in accordance with the resolution of the Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting.
For payment purposes, the value of each URA will be considered as referentially equivalent to the price of a company’s share. Consequently, URAs will be paid at the weighted average price of stock market transactions of the company’s shares during the 10 business days preceding the effective date (“Weighted Average Price”). For the calculation of the Weighted Average Price, transactions on national stock exchanges, as well as those on foreign exchanges recognized at the national level where LATAM’s American Depositary Shares may eventually be listed again, will be taken into account.
The amounts paid for this concept, in accordance with the above, are:

NOTE 33 - SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS
(a) LP3 compensation plans (2020-2023)
The Company implemented a program for a group of executives, which existed until March 2023, with a demand period between October 2020 and March 2023, where the collection percentage was annual and cumulative. The methodology is an estimate of the number of units, where a goal of the value of the action is set.
The benefit is vested if the target of the share price defined in each year is met. In case the benefit accumulates up to the last year the total benefit is doubled (in case the share price is achieved).
This Compensation Plan was finally not executed because the share price required for its collection is below the initial target.
(b) CIP (Corporate Incentive Plan)
As indicated in Note 22, in the context of the exit from Chapter 11 Proceedings, the Company implemented a talent retention program for the Company's employees, which is divided into three categories. The first one (i.e., Non-Executive Employees) simply contemplates guaranteed payments in cash to the respective employees on certain dates depending on the country where the employee is hired. On the other hand, the remaining two categories (i.e., Non-GEM Executives and GEM Executives) contemplated the granting of synthetic units of remuneration (the "Units") that, by reference, are considered as equivalent to the price of one share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and consequently, in case they become effective, grant the worker the right to receive the payment in cash that results from multiplying the number of Units that are pay for the value per share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. that must be considered in accordance with the CIP.
Below are more details of these two categories.
Non-GEM Executives
The first subprogram applies to senior executives not part of the GEM (Global Executive Meeting - Senior Managers, Managers, Deputy Managers). In this context, this program contemplates two different bonuses: (1) a retention bonus, consisting of the amount in money resulting from Units that are assigned to the respective employee and these Units being paid 20% on month 15 and 80% at month 24, in each case, counted from Exit date from the Chapter 11 Procedure (i.e., November 3, 2022) (the "Exit Date"). This is consequently, a guaranteed payment for these employees; and (2) a bonus associated to the performance defined on based on the compliance of certain financial indicators of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and its subsidiaries, which is reflected in Note 19(b), becoming effective 20% at month 15 and 80% at month 24, in each case, from the Exit Date. Consequently, this is a temporary payment that is only made if these indicators are met.
GEM Executives
Applies to senior executives of the Company who are part of the GEM (CEO and employees whose job description is "vice presidents" or "directors"). Employees that participating in this program are eligible to receive cash payments for Units. These Units are as follows:
1. "RSUs" (Retention Shares Units): That is, Units associated with the employee's permanence in the Company, and consequently, are associated with the passage of time. In its totality, the CIP contemplates up to 3,107,603,293 RSUs which are made effective by partialities in the terms indicated below.
As a general rule, RSUs will be eligible to become effective at the rate of one third on each of the following dates: month 24, month 36 and month 42, in each case, counted from the Exit Date. The mentioned above, subject to the occurrence of a trigger event related to the volume of transactions of securities issued by LATAM Airlines Group S.A. in the terms contemplated in the CIP (hereinafter, a "VTE" – Volume Triggering Event). The number of RSUs actually paid will be determined based on the net resources accumulated as a result of a VTE on the respective determination date (hereinafter, this adjustment will be referred to as the "Pro Rata Factor").
Notwithstanding the mentioned above, the CIP also contemplates a "Minimum Guaranteed Vesting" according to which, the percentage of RSUs indicated below will be effective on each date indicated, even if a VTE has not occurred. The foregoing, net of the RSUs that may eventually have become effective previously.
| | | | | |
Minimum Guaranteed Vesting of RSUs |
| Percentage of Units that become effective |
Month 30 from Exit Date | 20% |
Month 42 from Exit Date | 30% |
Month 60 from Exit Date | 50% |
2. "PSUs" (Performance Shares Units): That is, Units associated with both the employee's permanence in the Company and the performance of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. measured according to the share price. Consequently, like RSUs, these Units are associated with the passage of time. However, PSUs also consider the market value of the share of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. considering a liquid market. However, as long as there is no such liquid market, the share price will be determined on the basis of representative transactions. In its totality, the CIP contemplates up to 4,251,780,158 PSUs which are made effective by partialities in the terms indicated below.
As a general rule, PSUs will be eligible to become effective at the rate of one third on each of the following dates: month 24, month 36 and month 42, in each case, counted from the Exit Date. The foregoing, subject to (i) a VTE having occurred; and (ii) that the quotient (hereinafter, the "Net Price/ERO (Equity Rights offering) Quotient") between the net price of sales originating in a VTE, divided by the price of share at which the shares issued were placed under the capital increase agreed at the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. dated July 5, 2022 (that is, US$0.01083865799), is greater than 150%. The number of PSUs that actually becomes effective will be determined according to the Factor Pro Rata and the Quotient Net Price/ERO Price).
From the above it flows that the PSUs constitute an eventual and not guaranteed payment.
In addition, some of the GEM Executives will also be entitled to receive a fixed and guaranteed payment in cash ("MPP" – Management Protection Plan) on certain dates under the Plan, at the rate of 33% in the month 18, 34% in the month 24 and 33% in the 30th month, all from the Exit Date. On the other hand, those employees who are eligible for this MPP will also be eligible for a limited number of additional RSUs ("MPP Based RSUs"). In its totality, the CIP includes 1,438,926,658 MPP based RSUs. As a general rule, MPP Based RSUs will be eligible to become effective on the same terms and conditions as RSUs; however, that they will be eligible to become effective at a rate of one third on each of the following dates: month 18, month 24 and month
30, in each case, from the Exit Date. The valuation of these Units will be equivalent to the value of the Company's share less the ERO Price at the time they become effective.
In all cases, the respective employees must have remained as such in the Company at the corresponding accrual date to qualify for these benefits.
Given the characteristics of this program, it has been recorded in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 2 "Share-based payments" and has been considered as a "cash settlement award" and, therefore, recorded at fair value as a liability that is part of the items Trade and other accounts payables and Provisions for employee benefits, non-current, which is updated at the closing date of each financial statement with effect on profit or loss for the period and classified in the line "Administrative expenses" of the Consolidated Statement of Income by function.
The fair value has been determined on the basis of the current share price and the best estimate of the future value of the Company's share, multiplied by the number of underlying units granted. This estimate was made based on the Company's Business Plan and its main indicators such as EBITDAR, adjusted net debt.
The movement of units as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2024 , is as follows:

NOTE 35 - THE ENVIRONMENT
LATAM Airlines Group S.A is committed to sustainable development, seeking to generate social, economic, and environmental value for the countries where it operates and for all its stakeholders. The Group manages socio-environmental matters at a corporate level, centralized in the Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Department. The Group is committed to monitoring and mitigating its impacts on the environment in all its ground and air operations, being a key element in the solution, and searching for alternatives to the challenges of the company and its environment.
The main functions of Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Department in environmental matters, together with the various areas of the company, include ensuring compliance of legal environmental regulations in all the countries, implementing and maintaining a corporate environmental management system, the efficient use of non-renewable resources such as aircraft fuel, implement measures for the valorization and diversion of landfill waste, and the development of programs and actions that allow it to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, seeking to generate environmental social and economic benefits for the company and the countries where it operates.
LATAM's sustainability strategy that was launched in 2021 is based on 4 pillars: Environmental Management System, Climate Change Management, Circular Economy and Shared Value. With these pillars, the company seeks to generate social, environmental and economic value for society and the company, anticipating the risks inherent in the sustainability challenges which are viewed by the current and future scenarios.
The aspects addressed in each pillar within the strategy are presented below:
Environmental Management
To safeguard environmental regulatory compliance with the different regulations applicable to LATAM group operations, the company has strengthened the operation of its environmental management system, turning it into a preventive tool that allows it to respond in an agile and planned manner to an internal and external context. dynamic in regulatory matters, allowing it to adopt good industry practices and improve its environmental performance.
In October 2024, we re-certified the Miami Cargo base under ISO 140001:2015 standard. The scope of this certification is Air cargo transportation services and the maintenance of its aircraft in Miami. LAN CARGO EMS activities include ORG (Corporate and Administrative activities); GRH (Ground Activities); MNT (Maintenance activities); CGO (Cargo and Warehouse activities); and SEC (Security, Safety, and Environmental activities).
Climate Change Management
Aiming to manage its carbon footprint and to contribute to the preservation and conservation of some of the region’s key ecosystems, LATAM seeks to advance in its Net Zero roadmap in a sustainable manner with the environment, the communities it serves and with the business, for which it bases its strategy on the following fronts:
Efficient Operation: Through LATAM Fuel Efficiency, LATAM’s corporate fuel efficiency program that considers initiatives in all areas of the company that aim to reduce fuel consumption.
Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF): Given the importance of SAF to mitigate climate change in the long term, LATAM is working towards creating the enabling conditions in the region to foster the development of SAF. For this, it co.-financed, together with Airbus, an independent study conducted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with the objective of creating public policy recommendations that contribute to the industry’s decarbonization. The Group is focused on exploring opportunities in Brazil and Colombia, which have proven experience in the biofuels industry; and Chile, a country with high potential for green hydrogen development.
New Technologies: Renewing the fleet by incorporating the latest generation of aircrafts contributes to the reduction of emissions, given that, according to the manufacturer’s data, new generation aircrafts consume between 20 and 25% less fuel compared to previous generations.
Emissions offsetting: LATAM has a comprehensive commitment to the environment and thus has established strategic partnerships that will allow, not only to acquire carbon credits as a complementary measure to offset emissions, but also to contribute to the preservation and conservation of strategic ecosystems in the region.
With this fronts and initiatives, the Group focuses on scope 1 emissions reductions, or in other words, on reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions per passenger/ton transported, prioritizing reduction over offsetting..
During 2024, LATAM announced its first sustainability linked financing, subscribing to USD$ 300 million credit, under which it can receive price adjustment based on its performance in relation to its carbon dioxide emissions intensity measured as tons of CO2 emissions / revenue per ton-kilometer (RTK).
Circular Economy
LATAM has outlined its roadmap by promoting a circular economy from the design of its materials and processes to the reduction and valorization of its waste, considering differentiated actions according to the type of operation and material.
By the end of 2024, LATAM achieved the elimination of 97% of single-use plastics from its operations, equivalent to more than 1,738 tons. The remaining 3% corresponds to items not replaced due to legal, sanitary, or operational restrictions.
Additionally, an evaluation of the valorization potential was developed in the main operations of Santiago (Chile), Sao Carlos (Brazil), and Bogotá (Colombia) to estimate the technical limit of waste valorization, and continued strengthening the waste management systems in Chile and Brazil.
Our Lounge at Santiago de Chile airport generates 455 tons of waste in one year, and LATAM managed to recycle 76%, which includes composting orange peels, uneaten passenger food, and organic kitchen waste, among others.
Regarding the “Recicla tu Viaje” program present on domestic flights in our network, we expanded the scope of recycling to include Tetra Pak in Chile and Brazil. With this, the LATAM group managed to recycle more than 280 tons of waste from our flight operations. This figure includes the recycling of PET plastic bottles from water and soft drinks in BR, CL, CO, EC, and PE, and Tetra Pak from juice and dairy cartons used on domestic flights in Brazil and Chile, a 64% improvement over 2023. Additionally, for the second consecutive year, we received the Onboard Hospitality magazine award for Sustainable Onboard Service for the "Recicla Sua Viagem" program in Brazil (114 tons of PET bottles in 2023).
On our onboard service, we significantly reduced fresh food waste by implementing artificial intelligence. This system helps us more accurately predict the amount of food we need to load on each flight, thus avoiding excess
catering. Since its implementation, this excess has been reduced by more than 60%, preventing the waste of more than 200,000 fresh food services.
Regarding our cargo operations in Chile, this year we implemented high-density red plastic pallets. These pallets replace traditional wooden and conventional plastic pallets, improving operational efficiency due to their greater durability.
Finally, the Segundo Vuelo Perú program was awarded by Corresponsables in Spain. Segundo Vuelo, a program present in Chile, Brazil, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and Paraguay, collaborates with local communities that receive discarded LATAM uniforms to transform them into new products. This initiative not only reduces the environmental impact of textile waste but also contributes to the sustainable development of communities, job creation, and responsible consumption.
Shared Value
The "Solidarity Plane" program stands out regarding shared value creation. It was created in 2011, and through it, LATAM provides society with its structure, connectivity, passenger, and cargo transportation free of charge to support the needs of the region. The program operates in three areas.
Health Solidary Plane: On disposition for the community, to serve as an aerial bridge to provide support to different necessities of well-being and health of the region. Focus on the patient, health professional and medical supplies transportation.
Environmental Solidary Plane: flora and fauna transportation for its conservation, transportation of scientists and members of environmental institutions that travel to guard the region's ecosystem. Support is also provided in transferring waste from islands to Latin America mainland.
Natural Disaster Solidary Plane: transportation of humanitarian aid in response to floods, fires, earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic explosions.
In 2024 we worked with 47 organizations in South America resulting in the transportation of 4877 passengers and 744 tonnes of humanitarian cargo.
Finally, as part of the strength program search, the development of a methodology to measure the social and environmental program impact (Social Return Investment) was incorporated.
Corporate Sustainability Assessment (CSA) of S&P Global
Globally, LATAM is the fifth airline with the best performance in sustainability according to the corporate sustainability Assessment (CSA) of S&P Global in December 2024. The international risk rating agency measures the environmental, social and corporate governance practices of companies.
This allowed us, after five years, to be included again in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index list of Chile and the MILA Pacific Alliance, which recognizes companies from Chile, Colombia and Peru.
