Strongoperating indicators:
Revenue per Passenger Kilometer (RPK) increased 12.8% totaling 11.1 billion in 3Q19, driven by a 13.0% growth in the number of transported passengers, while Available Seat Kilometer (ASK) growth was 7.6%. Strong passenger demand and dynamic revenue management enabled GOL to offset the increase in operating unit costs. The Company achieved:
(i) Average yield per passenger of 31.50 cents (R$), an increase of 14.8% compared to 3Q18;
(ii) Average load factor of 82.9%, an increase of 3.8 p.p. quarter-over-quarter;
(iii) On-time performance of 91.2% in 3Q19 according to Infraero and data from major airports.
Record revenues:
Net revenue was R$3.7 billion, the highest ever recorded by the Company, and an increase of 28.3% over 3Q18. GOL carried 9.8 million Customers in the quarter (+13.0% over 3Q18), with 9.2 million in the domestic market (+11.4% over 3Q18) and 0.6 million in the international market (+48.6% over 3Q18).

Controlled costs:
Unit costs based on Cost per Available Seat Kilometer (CASK), excluding non-recurring expenses, increased by 5.8%, from 21.28 cents (R$) in 3Q18 to 22.51 cents (R$), mainly due to higherdepreciation, higher, personnel expenses and higher passenger costs. Fuel costs per ASK decreased 6.7%, mainly due to a reduction of fuel taxes, partially offset by additional consumption due to the MAX delays. CASK ex-fuel, excluding non-recurring expenses, increased by 14.2% due to a number of factors:
(i) A 37.3% increase in depreciation due to the addition of six aircraft in the fleet and a reduction in the depreciable life of capitalized engine maintenance and large components;
(ii) An 18.4% increase inpersonnel expenses, mainly due to an increase in the federal payroll tax rate to 20%, a 3.6% cost of living adjustment, and the hiring and training of 723 new employees due to the expansion of operations, new routes and new bases;
(iii) Increases in passenger costs, services provided, sales and marketing, and landing fees.
GOL has the lowest unit costs in its markets. GOL’s 2019 non-fuel CASK guidance is approximately 14.5 cents (R$).
(1) Earnings per diluted share excludes results of (i) exchange variation, net; (ii) Exchangeable Senior Notes and capped calls; and (iii) non-recurring expenses.
Healthy margins:
Due to strong cost control and yield management, the Company achieved a positive operating result for the 13th consecutive quarter. 3Q19 demand enabled GOL to achieve an EBIT margin of 18.6% in the quarter, the highest since 2006. Operating income (EBIT) was R$691.9 million in the quarter, R$450.5 million higher than in 3Q18. EBITDA margin was 30.7%, an increase of 11.8 p.p. q-o-q. GOL’s 2019 EBIT margin and EBITDA margin guidance is approximately 17% and 29%, respectively.
Balance sheet strengthening:
GOL reported operating cash flow generation of R$1.1 billion in the quarter. Total liquidity was R$4.0 billion, R$369.7 million higher in comparison to June 30, 2019 and R$1.0 billion higher than a year ago. GOL has effected R$935.6 million in financial debt repayments in 2019. The U.S. Dollar appreciated 4.0% (end of period) against Brazilian Real causing net exchange and monetary variation losses of R$623.3 million. Net debt (excluding perpetual bonds) to LTM EBITDA was 2.9x as of September 30, 2019.
Guidance: GOL’s 2019 and 2020 guidance is on page 12 of this document.
Outlook
Based on current cost trends, the Company estimates fourth quarter 2019 non-recurring CASK ex fuel to increase approximately 4% to 6%, year-over-year. The Company has hedged approximately 83% of its fuel consumption for the remainder of 2019 at an average WTI price of US$61.0 and 66% of its fuel consumption for 2020 at an average WTI price of US$61.5. Currently, passenger booking and revenue trends remain strong, and the Company expects fourth quarter 2019 RASK to increase approximately 5% to 7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.
Added Paulo Kakinoff,Chief Executive Officer, GOL: “We have flexibility in our fleet plan, including the possibility of leasing more aircraft. Based on the most recent guidance from Boeing, we are currently assuming regulatory approval of the MAX’s return to service during December 2019.”
Management’s Comments on Results
Strong customer demand, especially in the corporate segment, combined with our capacity discipline enabled us to deliver exceptional operating results in the third quarter. GOL is the leading company in six of the top ten high-traffic-density airports in Brazil. Our flight network of over 750 daily flights on a single fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft allows us to deliver the highest level of connectivity, integrating the largest markets and most wanted destinations in Brazil.
We are proud of our team’s consistent performance maintaining the highest quality Customer service during the quarter. We transported almost 10 million customers during the quarter, a growth of 13.0% over the same period last year. We achieved a 38% market share in the Brazilian domestic market, according to ANAC data, and a 39% share of the corporate passenger segment, according to ABRACORP data, which awarded GOL as the best domestic airline in September 2019. Our Net Promoter Score (NPS) reached 38 in the quarter and is indicative of the winning combination of our best-in-market product and our highly engaged Customer service team.
The Company celebrated recently the third anniversary of its on-board high speed Wifi, a key component that gives GOL the best in-flight experience in the market. More than 11 million passengers have been able to connect to high-speed internet on all national and international destinations operated by GOL. Also, recently, GOL provided a new payment option via the SafetyPay Brazil digital cash purchase platform, in partnership with Caixa Econômica Federal, enabling the over 60 million Brazilians without bank accounts or credit cards to buy GOL tickets – another example of GOL’s constant work to popularize air travel in Brazil.

“GOL saw strong customer demand in the third quarter, as the outlook for Brazil’s economy continues to improve,” said Paulo Kakinoff. “Combined with our highly effective capacity management, this enabled us to deliver exceptional operating results for the quarter. GOL maximized the time our aircraft are in the air to almost 13 hours per day, and we have flexibility in the plan, including the possibility of leasing more aircraft. We believe this advanced model of fleet management gives us a competitive advantage over our peers as it enables us to quickly flex our capacity by +/-10%.”
In the quarter, we continued sustainable capacity expansion, growing into new regional markets from São Paulo’s Guarulhos airport, and consolidated our operating partnerships with 23 new regional routes inaugurated in the quarter. This year we have announced nine regional destinations with our own aircraft, and in the third quarter we began non-stop flights from São Paulo to three cities: Cascavel, Passo Fundo and Vitória da Conquista, located in the states of Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul and Bahia, respectively.Considering these new destinations, along with our partners, we now serve almost 100 Brazilian cities, with an even more integrated and more complete network. As part of its regional network, GOL launched its stopover service, enabling Customers with connections in São Paulo to layover for up to two nights at no additional fare cost. During 3Q19,GOL increased its capacity by 14% on the São Paulo-Rio shuttle, contributing to our growth on this important route.
Continuing our international expansion, we began selling non-stop flights between Manaus and Orlando, our 30th international route, and where GOL is the only airline with non-stop flights from the Manaus airport. The capital of Amazonas thus becomes our third city with nonstop flights to the United States, offering the comfort of GOL’s best-in market service and fast connections to both our Brazilian Customers traveling from the Northern region of Brazil and to our U.S. Customers travelling to the Northern region of Brazil.
“Our international expansion allows us to offer the best travel experience to corporate and leisure customers throughout the region”, said Paulo Kakinoff.
Despite the temporary grounding of the Boeing MAX, GOL’s network is performing well, and the outlook for the remainder of 2019 remains solid. Our aircraft utilization reached 12.6 block hours in the quarter. We have flexibility in the plan, including the possibility of lease more aircraft. Based on the most recent guidance from Boeing, we are currently assuming regulatory approval of the MAX’s return to service during December 2019.
Added Kakinoff: “We will continue with our growth plan by managing the flexibility of our fleet, built over the years, which allows us to adjust its size to meet the needs of the Company and the market, and also enabled us to quickly manage temporary supply disruptions.We plan to take delivery of our orders for the MAXs as soon as they are available and will follow all procedures regarding the ungrounding of the 737 MAX from the world's leading aviation regulators. We are confident that the 737 MAX will represent one of, if not, the safest aircraft in the world.”
Due to a specific Airworthiness Directive issued by the FAA at the beginning of October, we placed 11 aircraft in unscheduled maintenance. Approximately 3% of Customers who purchased tickets for the period from October 10 to December 15, 2019 were re-accommodated on GOL's own flights or on interline partners. All maintenance will be concluded in 45 days. A key component of our flexible supply management is our 1.6 million square foot Aircraft Maintenance Center, that in the quarter celebrated its 13th anniversary as one of the largest in South America. In September, we began providing MRO(“Maintenance, Repairs and Operation”)services to other airlines.
Delta Airlines recently announced its plan to end its partnership with us. Revenues from the Delta agreements accounted for approximately 0.3% of GOL's total revenues. “Our asset flexibility combined with our over 80-strong partner network allows us to serve and interconnect the regional, domestic and international markets." added Kakinoff.
The Company’s third quarter 2019 net revenues increased 28.3%, year-over-year, to an all-time quarterly record of R$3.7 billion. Currently, passenger booking and revenue trends remain strong, and the Company expects fourth quarter 2019 RASK to increase from 5% to 7%, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018.
GOL is the lowest unit cost leader in South America for the 18th consecutive year. Third quarter 2019 operating expenses increased 21.5%, year-over-year, to R$3.1 billion. Based on current trends, the Company estimates fourth quarter 2019 CASK to increase approximately 4% a 6%, year-over-year.The Company has hedged approximately 83% of its fuel consumption for the remainder of 2019 at an average WTI price of US$61.0 and 66% of its fuel consumption for 2020 at an average WTI price of US$61.5.
In the quarter, GOL received an upgrade to its highest Fitch credit rating since 2013. The foreign and local currency Issuer Default Ratings (“IDR”) were upgraded to B+ (from B), with a stable outlook. GOL’s unsecured 2022 and 2025 notes, and GOL’s perpetual bonds were upgraded at the same level as the Company’s IDR. GOL’s national scale rating was upgraded to A- (bra), from BBB- (bra), with a stable outlook. “The ratings upgrade reflects the GOL management team’s focus on the consistent improvement of margins, strengthening the balance sheet through disciplined liability management, and as the best positioned airline to benefit from Brazil’s economic growth,” said Richard Lark, Chief Financial Officer, GOL.

Also in the quarter, GOL re-tapped its Exchangeable Senior Notesat a 20% premium raising US$96 million in gross proceeds and increasing the total amount outstanding to US$425 million. The issuance received the “2019 Americas Equity Deal of the Year” award from the Airline Economics Aviation 100 Awards. In addition, in line with the balance sheet deleveraging plan, we repaid R$463.2 million if financial debt in the quarter, reducing the average U.S. dollar debt interest rate to 6.09% p.a.
“We remain focused on our long-term financial goals:maintain a strong balance sheet, return to a BB credit rating, and ample liquidity; generate robust operating and free cash flows; and grow earnings, margins and returns,” added Lark.

Disclaimer
This release contains forward-looking statements relating to the prospects of the business, estimates for operating and financial results, and those related to growth prospects of GOL, as well as the expected impact of the recently issued accounting standard IFRS 16. These are merely estimates and projections and, as such, are based exclusively on the expectations of GOL’s management. Such forward-looking statements depend, substantially, on external factors, in addition to the risks disclosed in GOL’s filed disclosure documents and are, therefore, subject to change without prior notice.
Non-GAAP Measures
To be consistent with industry practice. GOL discloses so-called non-GAAP financial measures, which are not recognized under IFRS or U.S. GAAP, including “Net Debt”, “total liquidity” and "EBITDA". The Company’s management believes that disclosure of non-GAAP measures provides useful information to investors, financial analysts and the public in their review of its operating performance and their comparison of its operating performance to the operating performance of other companies in the same industry and other industries. However, these non-GAAP items do not have standardized meanings and may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled items adopted by other companies. Potential investors should not rely on information not recognized under IFRS as a substitute for the GAAP measures of earnings or liquidity in making an investment decision.
