Management Comments
For the second quarter, GOL increased in its supply (ASK) by 14% year-over-year, equivalent to nearly 91% of 2Q19 capacity. Combined with increased productivity and higher ancillary revenues, the Company recorded EBITDA margin of 22.8%, which was achieved in a period which is seasonally the weakest quarter of the year.
“We remain committed to maintaining the lowest level of unit costs in the industry. Deployment of our operating fleet remained at a high level reaching approximately 11 hours per day, an increase of 5.9% compared to 2Q22. As capacity grows and the entire fleet resumes operations, we expect that with our low-cost discipline and the commitment of our Team of Eagles to deliver the best Customer satisfaction, we will even further strengthen GOL’s competitive advantage in the market,” added Celso Ferrer.
Confirmed New Level of Revenues and Sales
The Company’s 2Q23 net revenue increased 28% year-over-year to R$4.1 billion, the highest level of 2Q revenue in its history, with important advances in the Smiles and Gollog businesses. This record revenue was driven by continued broad-based strength in demand. The Company also achieved nearly R$5.1 billion in sales volume, primarily driven by leisure traveler demand.
Several initiatives contributed to a significant 12.2% increase in RASK (revenue per available seat kilometer) and a 9.5% increase in yield compared to 2Q22.
“Our discipline in yield management allowed us to reach a continuous quarter over quarter increase in unit revenue. These results were achieved through our capacity discipline and seat inventory management, besides our continuous investments in tools and technologies for fare and inventory management. Our digital channels delivered an enhanced experience for our Customers and helped enable the sale of additional services that added further value to the air travel experience,” said Eduardo Bernardes, Chief Revenue Officer.
Cost Performance and Capacity Management
In meeting the ongoing growth in demand, GOL continues its focus on sustainable growth and on diversification with the opening of new bases in the regional market. The Company’s load factor increased to 76.9%, 0.3 percentage point above 2Q22.
GOL expanded its supply (ASKs) by 14.0% over 2Q22, reaching around 91% of its 2Q19 capacity and surpassing 100% on select dates. Compared to 1Q23, a seasonally stronger quarter, ASKs reduced by approximately 8%. Aircraft utilization reached 10.8 hours per day, a testament to the Company’s focus on increasing productivity and further reducing unit cost. In the international market, the Company continued to grow its supply at a stronger pace (73.1% versus 2Q22), reaching around 63% of its 2Q19 capacity.
The number of departures increased by approximately 20% versus 2Q22, due mainly to a network redesign and the opening of regional markets. The cities of Ribeirão Preto and São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, started to receive GOL’s Boeing 737s, which connected Customers to diverse national destinations such as Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Curitiba and Brasília.
Unit cost (CASK) excluding the cargo fleet reached 34.89 cents (R$), around 3% lower than the previous quarter, even with ASKs lower by 8%. The reduction in the cost of jet fuel in the period helped reduce the quarter’s unit cost. The unit cost excluding fuel (CASK Ex-Fuel) and the cargo fleet reached 21.69 cents (R$), which was approximately 1.5% lower than 2Q22 and 7.2% higher than 1Q23, even with an 8% reduction in supply over the same period.
Smiles and Gollog Continue to Leverage Value
Smiles Viagens, our new tour operator, was launched in the second quarter. Created to capture synergies between GOL and Smiles, it enables the offer of complete packages to the B2C market with a unique online sales experience for both national and international destinations. Later this year, Smiles Viagens will also begin serving the B2B market, thereby expanding its reach to travel agents and other distribution channels, as well as strengthening partnerships with agencies, hotels and OTAs.
In 2Q23, the Company maintained the high growth rate of its cargo and loyalty businesses, both in billings and revenue. Billings from these businesses was R$1.4 billion, while GOL’s ancillary revenue grew by 72.7% in the same period.
Smiles, the largest loyalty program in the country, achieved billing growth of 21.6% versus 2Q22, reaching levels in excess of R$1.2 billion. Smiles achieved a 10% growth in its clients membership base and has about eight million more members compared to its closest competitor.
Gollog, the cargo business, more than doubled its quarterly gross revenue to R$247 million y-o-y. During 2Q23, the Company added one Boeing 737 freighter aircraft to its fleet, reaching a total of four, as part of the exclusive agreement with Mercado Livre for cargo transportation. Total cargo aircraft is expected to reach six by the end of the year and further expand to 12 cargo aircraft in the future.
“We continue to capture synergies from the reincorporation of Smiles at an accelerated pace. In less than two years, Smiles has in effect doubled its revenue compared to the pre-pandemic period. Now, with Smiles Viagens in operation, we envision even greater potential to add to our ancillary revenues as GOL continues to strengthen” said Carla Fonseca, Director of Customer Experience and President of Smiles.

Customer Experience and Loyalty
Smiles expanded its customer base by more than 8% to 21.8 million compared to the 2Q22, demonstrating the high value that is being generated from the combination of the loyalty business with the operating airline in 2021.
The Company focused on several important initiatives and investments, including the expansion of its network and the entry into new regional markets, plus improvements in its digital channels, and the continuous evolution of its cargo (Gollog) and loyalty (Smiles) businesses.
GOL was recognized as the Best Airline in South America (APEX Passenger Choice Award 2023), which demonstrates the dedication and hard work of the Team of Eagles in exceeding passenger expectations. It also reflects the Company’s continued commitment to Being First for All by providing exceptional service, overall flight quality and a unique Customer experience. Through its dedication to providing safe, comfortable and efficient flights, GOL remains the leader in the sector, establishing a standard of excellence that elevates the aviation industry in the region.
Fleet Plan Update
During 2Q23, as part of the fleet transformation plan, the Company returned two Boeing 737-NG aircraft, which reduced the idleness of the fleet, and received one new Boeing 737-NG cargo aircraft into operations. As of June 30, 2023, GOL had a fleet of 143 Boeing 737 aircraft, of which 38 are MAX 8s, 101 are NGs and four are 800BCF freighters.
GOL continues to pioneer in liability management. In December 2022, the Company successfully placed a secured debt instrument to address liabilities with lessors, which was further expanded with two retaps in 2023. GOL also recently completed a major debt restructuring, led by the Abra Group, where US$1.1 billion face value of debt was repurchased. “The ongoing restructuring of our aircraft leases is expected to enable a long-term increase in free cash flow, while also continuing to honor our commitments and partnerships,” concluded Mario Liao, Chief Financial Officer.
ESG Developments
#MyFlightOffsets is an important and innovative means for Customers to achieve voluntary carbon neutralization. GOL offers carbon offsetting when tickets are purchased on the Company’s website. Since the launch of the partnership with MOSS in 2Q21, over 14 thousand tons of CO2 have already been offset, equivalent to the preservation of more than 3,600 hectares of forests.
In May, the ANAC authorized GOL to use Digital Navigation on board the aircraft, which will further contribute to current initiatives that save on paper and fuel consumption. Since the beginning of the Paperless Project, in 2018, the Company estimates savings of 41.5 million sheets of paper and 48.9 million liters of aviation kerosene.
GOL created affinity groups to intensify and broaden the debate on diversity and inclusion, in addition to intensifying the training program for the entire Team of Eagles.
The Company also initiated a Demographic Census in order to increase the knowledge and understanding of its Employees with the goal of strengthening the values of the Team of Eagles and the GOL culture of being simple, human and intelligent.

Net Revenue
Net operating revenue in the first quarter was a record R$4.1 billion, 27.9% higher than in 2Q22 and 32.0% higher than in 2Q19. Ancillary revenues totaled R$425.6 million, up 72,7% compared to 2Q22 and about 10.3% of total net revenue in the second quarter of 2023, an increase of 2.7 p.p. versus 2Q22.
Operational Expenses
CASK in 2Q23 was 35.09 cents (R$), representing a reduction of 7.9% when compared to 2Q22, mainly as a result of the decline in the cost of fuel. The unit cost excluding fuel and cargo aircraft operations decreased by 1.5%. Fuel unit cost showed a reduction of 17.2% mainly due to the reduction in the price of aviation fuel and the greater use of the new Boeing 737-MAX aircraft in GOL's operations.
The cost indicators per ASK are described in this section and on a comparative basis. Explanations of the variations are based on the recurring reported figures.

ESG Review
With the aim of creating a more inclusive, ethical, and safe environment for Employees, and with an emphasis on respect as a fundamental value, GOL’s executive team has been receiving continuous training in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Recently, the Company conducted workshops on Race and Ethnicity, as well as holding discussions with Gender Equity and LGBT+ groups.
Two years ago, GOL launched the #MyFlightOffsets initiative, which enables Customers to voluntarily offset the carbon footprint of their trips. This has already resulted in the reduction of over 14,000 tons of CO2, preserving the equivalent of more than 3,600 hectares of native forests in Brazil. Furthermore, the adoption of Digital Navigation on board aircraft has contributed to saving paper, fuel, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting a positive impact on the environment.
The Company highly values learning more about its Employees and treating each one according to their preferences. For this reason, GOL initiated its Demographic Census, an anonymous survey conducted by specialized consultants, aimed at mapping perceptions of belonging, diversity, equity, and inclusion in the workplace. This approach is in line with the Company’s values, as we strive to be Simple, Humane, and Intelligent.
