Strong operating indicators: Revenue per Passenger Kilometer (RPK) increased 5.5% totaling R$10.8 billion in 4Q19, driven by an 8.0% growth in the number of transported passengers, while Available Seal Kilometer (ASK) growth was 6.0%. Strong passenger demand and dynamic revenue management enabled GOL to manage the increase in unit operating costs, achieving the following indicators:
(i) Average yield per passenger of 33.17 cents (R$), an increase of 13.8% compared to 4Q18;
(ii) Average load factor of 81.5%, a reduction 0.4 p.p. quarter-over-quarter;
(iii) Average aircraft utilization of 12.2 hours/day, an increase of 6.1% quarter-over-quarter; and
(iv) Flight completion of 99.2% in 4Q19, an increase of 0.6 p.p., according to Infraero and data from major airports.
Record revenues: Net revenue was R$3.8 billion in 4Q19, the highest for a quarter ever recorded by the Company, and an increase of 18.8% over 4Q18. GOL carried 9.7 million customers in the quarter, with 9.2 million in the domestic market (+9.5% over 4Q18) and 0.5 million in the international market. Net Revenue per Available Seat Kilometer (RASK) was 28.69 cents (R$) in 4Q19, an increase of 12.1% over 4Q18.

Controlled costs: GOL has the lowest unit costs in its markets. Unit costs based on Cost per Available Seat Kilometer (CASK), excluding non-recurring expenses, decreased by 12.8%, from 24.19 cents (R$) in 4Q18 to 21.10 cents (R$), partially impacted by 17% decrease in the average fuel price and a 2% reduction in fuel consumption per flight hour. Fuel costs per ASK decreased 15.6%, mainly due to a reduction of fuel taxes. CASK ex-fuel, excluding non-recurring expenses, increased by 11.1% primarily due to increased productivity (operating efficiency, aircraft utilization and increase in ASKs), and a reduction in aircraft maintenance expenses due to a decrease in aircraft returns in the 4Q19, partially offset by:
(i) A 32.6% increase in depreciation due to the addition of 16 aircraft in the fleet and a reduction in the depreciable life of capitalized engine maintenance and large components; and
(ii) A 23.8% growth in personnel expenses, mainly due to an increase in the federal payroll tax rate to 20%, and the hiring and training of 819 new employees due to the expansion of operations, new routes and new bases.
Healthy margins: Due to strong cost control, capacity, and yield management, the Company achieved operating profits for the 14th consecutive quarter. 4Q19 demand enabled GOL to achieve a recurring EBIT margin of 26.5%, the highest achieved by the Company since 2004. Recurring operating income (EBIT) was R$1,006.3 million in the quarter and R$2,645.0 million in 2019; R$830.0 million and R$1,601.1 million higher than in 4Q18 and 2018, respectively. Recurring EBITDA margin was 38.5% in the period, an increase of 22.2 p.p. quarter-over-quarter.
Balance sheet strengthening: GOL reported operating cash flow generation of approximately R$1.0 billion in the quarter. Total liquidity was R$4.3 billion, R$238.4 million higher in comparison to September 30, 2019 and R$1.3 billion higher than December 31, 2018. In 4Q19, the Company repaid R$617.1 million in principal debt and leasing payments, R$50.2 million of interest on own capital and repurchased R$102.4 million of shares. The net exchange and monetary variation gains in the quarter totaled R$372.4 million. Net debt (excluding perpetual bonds and Exchangeable Senior Notes) to LTM EBITDA was 2.4x as of December 31, 2019.
Guidance: GOL’s 2020 and 2021 guidance is on page 14 of this document.
1Q20 Outlook
Based on current cost trends, GOL estimates first quarter 2020 recurring CASK ex-fuel to increase by approximately 4% to 6%, year-over-year. The Company has hedged approximately 90% of its fuel consumption for 1Q20 and 68% for 2020. Currently, passenger booking and revenue trends remain healthy, and the Company expects first quarter 2020 RASK to increase between approximately 4% and 6%, compared to the first quarter of 2019.
Management’s Comments on Results
In 2019, GOL accomplished a number of significant milestones in its business strategy to be The First Airline for Everyone and to grow its network both internationally and domestically.
“Be The First Airline For Everyone”
Strong customer demand, especially in the corporate segment, combined with our capacity discipline enabled us to deliver excellent operating results in 4Q19. We’d like to particularly thank the dedication and engagement of the Team of Eagles who, amid challenging market conditions, met the demands of our customers in Brazil and abroad in a fast and safe manner.
We transported almost 10 million passengers in 4Q19, a growth of 8.0% over the same period last year.
This year, we also achieved a Black Friday sales record with more than 450,000 tickets sold, which corresponds to more than R$120 million in just one day, and a total sale in the promotional period of more than R$250 million. That represents an increase of more than 50% in sales compared to Black Friday of 2018.
“The excellent sales numbers in the fourth quarter underline our purpose of being The First Airline For Everyone, by providing the best customer experience in terms of products and services, with the lowest cost in the market”, said GOL CEO, Paulo Kakinoff.
Our Net Promoter Score (NPS) was 35 in the quarter and is indicative of the winning combination of our best-in-market product and our highly engaged customer service team. For the third consecutive year, we won the Top of Mind award from Datafolha São Paulo Institute as the most remembered and preferred airline by Brazilians. We also won, for the sixth time, the Companies of the Decade award byConsumidor Moderno, being the only airline among the winning companies.
“These acknowledgments are the result of the continuous innovation across our products and services, and they reflect the close relationship we maintain with our customers in their daily lives,” added Kakinoff.
Growth of the GOL Network
In the quarter, we expanded our reach in regional markets in Brazil, adding three more destinations. In addition, we enhanced our partnerships with two regional carriers that added 22 new destinations for GOL customers.
GOL is the largest regional carrier in Brazil, as measured by ASKs. The new regional destinations have strengthened our overall network, increased connectivity, and reduced our exposure to highly competitive markets. These destinations also generate even more feeder traffic from customers connecting to our international hubs in Guarulhos, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília and Fortaleza.

We continued our long-term term growth strategy in international markets in the quarter. We began regular flights between São Paulo and Lima, Peru. In the period, we also launched weekly flights between Manaus and Orlando and seasonal flights between Porto Alegre and Punta del Este. In addition, we renewed our strategic partnership with Air France-KLM for another five years, through which we have already jointly carried more than 1 million customers. Our partnership currently covers over 99% of the demand between Brazil and Europe, and one in four Air France-KLM passengers choose to make connections with GOL flights
At the end of December, GOL also celebrated 15 years of operating in Argentina, where we have transported over 12 million passengers on 77 weekly flights.
We seek to continue our growth in domestic and international markets.
In February 2020, we announced a new codeshare with American Airlines. The flights will operate from GOL’s hubs in São Paulo (GRU), Rio de Janeiro (GIG), Brasília (BSB) and Fortaleza (FOR), and will add to GOL’s existing regular flights to Miami and Orlando. Also, we signed a new codeshare with Avianca Holdings that includes 60 domestic Brazil GOL destinations and 16 GOL international destinations, in 11 countries, and 26 domestic Colombia Avianca destinations and another 50 in America and Europe.
“By strengthening these partnerships, we reiterate our expansion plan in both domestic and international markets and consolidate our purpose of being The First Airline For Everyone. Our codeshare with Air France-KLM covers more than 18 countries, including 66 cities in Europe and more than 30 cities in Brazil. In addition, our recently announced codeshare with American Airlines will offer more daily flights between South America and the U.S. than any other airline partnership. It will double the number of seats we offer in this market,enabling GOL’s customers to travel seamlessly to more than 30 destinations in the U.S,” added Kakinoff.
Agile Fleet Management
Despite the temporary grounding of the 737 MAX aircraft, the flexibility of our fleet plan enabled us to serve all of our markets with a high utilization rate of our aircraft, which reached 12.2 hours in the quarter. GOL’s route network is based on a high connectivity with the main markets. This sophisticated model has enabled us to create greater capillarity for corporate routes and to reduce the average stage length. When combined with the intensive use of data analytics and a focus on the personalization of our services, this has best positioned GOL to capture economic growth. Based on Boeing’s latest forecast, we believe that the regulatory agencies will approve the return of MAX aircraft at the beginning of the second half of 2020.
At the beginning of the fourth quarter, 14 aircraft went under unplanned maintenance on pickle forks, in compliance with FAA Airworthiness Directive. Maintenance was 100% completed at the end of December when the aircraft returned to the fleet, thanks to the prompt response of GOL Aerotech.
In November 2019, GOL Aerotech was formally launched; a new business unit that leverages GOL’s aircraft maintenance expertise to provide aircraft and components maintenance, repairs, and overhauls to third-party airlines. This generates a new source of revenue and reduces our costs for the Company. With 760 employees and over 600,000 hours of availability per year, GOL Aerotech is qualified by ANAC, FAA and EASA to perform maintenance services for four Boeing models: the 737 Classic, the 737 Next Generation, the 737 MAX, and the 767 family. Aviation Capital Group (ACG) and Dubai Aerospace are among our first customers. In 2020, we expect revenues of R$140 million from GOL Aerotech.
Effective Balance Sheet Management
Despite several operational challenges, such as the temporary grounding of the MAX and the unplanned maintenance on the pickle fork, GOL posted outstanding results. We registered record revenues and high margins, with operating cash flow generation around R$1.0 billion in the quarter. Through this, we implemented a R$102.4 million share repurchase program and improved our credit profile.
Quarterly net revenue increased 18.8% year-over-year, with a record of R$3.8 billion in the 4Q19. Currently, trends in revenue and passenger bookings remain strong, and the Company expects the first quarter RASK to increase by 4% to 6%, compared to 1Q19.
GOL remains the lowest unit cost leader in South America for the 19th consecutive year. Recurring CASK in 2019 increased 1.9% over the previous year, to R$21.97. Based on current trends, the Company estimates that the recurring CASK in the first quarter of 2020 will increase approximately 0% to 2%, year-over-year. The Company has a high level of fuel hedging protection in place, with around 90% hedged in the first quarter of 2020 and 68% hedged in 2020.
“We are working hard to further increase GOL's competitiveness through fuel hedging," said Richard Lark, GOL’s CFO.
In 4Q19, recurring earnings per diluted share were R$0.88 and recurring earnings per diluted ADS were US$0.43. Operating activities generated R$1.0 billion in cash in the quarter. From the net cash flow generation of R$637.3 million in 4Q19, we repaid R$617.1 million in debt, paid R$50.2 million of interest on own capital, and repurchased R$102.4 million of shares. Before share repurchases and interest on own capital, free cash flow to equity was R$219.2 million. On December 31, 2019, total liquidity was R$4.3 billion, R$1.3 billion higher than on December 31, 2018.
“We continue to strengthen the Company's equilibrium through disciplined working capital management and capital structure optimization,” added Lark.
In February 2020, GOL signed sale and leaseback agreements for 11 Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG) aircraft. The transaction will reduce GOL’s net debt by approximately R$500 million, comprised of a R$130 million reduction in finance lease debt and a R$370 million increase in cash liquidity. The Company plans to use a portion of these proceeds to call the outstanding amount of its 8.875% Senior Notes due in 2022. The asset management income and reduction in interest expense will contribute over R$420million to the Company’s 2020 earnings and improve GOL’s credit ratios by reducing the net debt/EBITDA ratio by 0.2x and increase the EBITDA/net interest expense ratio by 0.5x.

The results obtained in GOL’s aircraft disposals demonstrate the consistent market value of the Boeing 737 aircraft and the continuous creation of value for all GOL shareholders.Making GOL The First Airline For Everyone is what drives our best-in-Brazil aviation team. “We are, and will continue to be, an even stronger Company,” said Lark.

Net revenue
Quarterly net revenue was R$3.8 billion, an increase of 18.8% when compared to 4Q18, mainly due to a 20.1% increase in passenger revenues and a 4.9% increase in cargo revenues, partially offset by a 4.0% decrease in loyalty program revenues, in comparison to 4Q18. In 2019, net revenue reached R$13.9 billion, an increase of 21.5% compared to 2018.
GOL carried approximately 9.7 million customers in the quarter (+8.0%), with 9.2 million in the domestic market (+9.5%) and 0.5 million in the international market (+0.3%). Net Passenger Revenue per Available Seat-Kilometer (PRASK) reached 27.04 cents (R$), an increase of 13.3%. Load factor decreased 0.4 p.p., and yield in the quarter increased 13.8% compared to the same period of 2018.
Operating expenses
Total recurring CASK decreased by 12.8%, from 24.19 cents (R$) in 4Q18 to 21.10 cents (R$), primarily due to increased productivity (operating efficiency, aircraft utilization and increase in ASKs), partially offset by increases in depreciation and personnel. Fuel costs per ASK decreased 15.6%, mainly due to reductions in fuel taxes, partially offset by consumption of an additional 7.3 million liters due to the MAX delays.
CASK ex-fuel, excluding non-recurring expenses, decreased by 11.1% in line with what was explained above, which reflects a better productivity (operational efficiency, use of aircraft and increase in ASK), partially offset by 32.6% higher depreciation. This was due to the addition of 16 aircraft in the fleet and a reduction in the depreciable life of capitalized engine maintenance and large components; a 23.8% increase on personnel expenses, mainly due to the increase in the federal payroll tax rate to 20%; and the hiring and training of 819 new employees due to the expansion of operations, new routes and new bases. Fuel costs per ASK decreased 15.6%, mainly due to reductions in fuel taxes.
Breakeven load factor (excluding non-recurring expenses) reduced by 17.4 p.p., reaching 60.0% versus 77.4% in 4Q18, due to passenger net revenue growth in the quarter. The breakdown of the Company’s operating costs and expenses is presented as follows:

Depreciation and amortization per ASK: increased 24.9% mainly due to the incorporation of 16 aircraft into the operational fleet and a reduction in the depreciation term for capitalized engine maintenance.
Other expenses per ASK: increased mainly due to the aircraft sales on 4Q18 of R$634.7 million, non-recurring in 2019.
(1) Scheduled maintenance is treated as recurring and un-scheduled maintenance related to the MAX delays is considered non-recurring.

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Information
GOL seeks to be a world leader in making aviation more sustainable.
The Company manages greenhouse gas emissions (“GHGs”) through fuel efficiency and network management. Since 2016, the Company is in the ICO2 Index, has voluntarily adhered to the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition (CPLC), a global initiative to adequately price carbon to mitigate climate change and decarbonize the economy, and Below50, which puts together entities that undertake to use renewable fuel that reduce GHG emissions by 50% or more, if compared to equivalent fossil fuel.
And by providing ESG data to investors, GOL aims to encourage the airline industry as a whole to become more sustainable, green and transparent. GOL reports relevant ESG information to investors in accordance with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) standard for the airline industry (TR0201).
The Company is actively looking to increase its sustainability through the adoption of new aviation technologies that reduce fuel consumption and GHG emissions. As part of that strategy, the Company operates a standardized fleet and is transitioning to 737 MAX-8s, which consume 15% less fuel than the 737-800 NG aircraft. Estimates are that the 737 MAX will return to service in the second half of 2020, based on the latest guidance from Boeing, and that the MAX will be GOL's future aircraft that will carry Customers with maximum safety and fuel efficiency.

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.
