Panama City, Panama — November 8, 2016. Copa Holdings, S.A. (NYSE: CPA), today announced financial results for the third quarter of 2016 (3Q16). The terms “Copa Holdings" or "the Company" refer to the consolidated entity. The following financial information, unless otherwise indicated, is presented in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). See the accompanying reconciliation of non-IFRS financial information to IFRS financial information included in financial tables section of this earnings release. Unless otherwise stated, all comparisons with prior periods refer to the third quarter of 2015 (3Q15).

 

OPERATING AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

 

§Copa Holdings reported net income of US$74.0 million for 3Q16, or diluted earnings per share (EPS) of US$1.75.

 

§Excluding special items, Copa Holdings would have reported an adjusted net income of $55.3 million, or $1.30 per share, a 47.8% increase from adjusted net income of US$37.4 million and US$0.85 per share for 3Q15.

 

§Operating income for 3Q16 came in at US$77.2 million, a 52.7% increase from operating income of US$50.6 million in 3Q15. Operating margin for the period came in at 13.6% or 4.3 percentage points higher than 3Q15, as a result of stronger unit revenues and lower unit costs.

 

§ Operating results for the quarter were affected by realized fuel hedge losses of US$22.2 million, compared to US$24.1 million in 3Q15. Excluding these realized fuel hedge losses, operating margin for the quarter would have been 17.5% for 3Q16, and 13.6% for 3Q15.

 

§Total revenues increased 4.0% year over year to US$569 million, as higher load factors offset a 7.6% reduction in yield per passenger mile. As a result, operating revenue per available seat mile (RASM) increased 1.8% to 10.3 cents when compared to 3Q2015.

 

§For 3Q16, passenger traffic (RPMs) grew 12.7% year over year on a 2.0% capacity expansion. As a result, consolidated load factor came in at 84.2%, or 8.0 percentage points above 3Q15.

 

§Operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) declined 2.9% year over year to 8.9 cents. CASM, excluding fuel, decreased 0.9% year over year to 6.4 cents.

 

§Cash, short term and long term investments ended 3Q16 at US$773.4 million, representing 36% of the last twelve months’ revenues.

 

§During the quarter, Copa Airlines returned two leased EMB-190s. Copa Holdings ended the quarter with a consolidated fleet of 99 aircraft.

MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON 3Q16 RESULTS

 

Despite continued softness in yields, a more stable currency environment seems to be contributing to a healthier air travel demand, in which through better commercial execution, Copa Holdings was able to deliver its highest-ever quarterly Load Factor. As a result, Copa Holdings’ third quarter unit revenues increased year over year, while its unit costs decreased, driving a year over year margin expansion.

 

Consolidated operating revenues increased 4.0% to US$569.0 million on a 2.0% increase in capacity for the period. Load factor came in at 84.2%, or 8.0 percentage points above 3Q15, while yields came in at 11.8 cents, or 7.6% lower than 3Q15. As a result, passenger revenues per ASM (PRASM) increased 2.1%, from 9.7 cents in 3Q15 to 9.9 cents in 3Q16.

 

Consolidated operating expenses for 3Q16 decreased 1.0% to US$491.8 million, and consolidated operating expenses per ASM (CASM) decreased 2.9% to 8.9 cents. Excluding fuel costs, unit costs decreased 0.9% to 6.4 cents, driven by cost efficiency efforts.

 

Aircraft fuel expense decreased 5.9% or US$8.8 million compared to 3Q15, as a result of lower fuel prices partially offset by increased capacity and higher fuel burn rates due to higher load factors. The Company’s effective jet fuel price, which includes a realized hedge loss of US$22.2 million in 3Q16 and US$24.1 million in 3Q15, decreased from an average of US$2.16 in 3Q15 to US$1.97 in 3Q16. 

 

For 3Q16, the Company had fuel hedges in place representing 32% of its consolidated volume. The Company has hedged approximately 35% for 4Q16. For 2017, the Company has hedged approximately 6% of its forecasted fuel consumption at an average price of $1.80 per gallon.

 

The Company recorded a net non-operating income of US$9.5 million for 3Q16 compared to a net non-operating expense of US$40.1 million for 3Q15. Non-operating income (expense) included a fuel hedge mark-to-market gain of US$19.2 million, compared to a fuel hedge mark-to-market loss of US$26.8 million for 3Q15, and a US$0.5 million loss on the devaluation of the Venezuelan bolivar compared to a US$2.1 million loss in 3Q15. The company also had a US$2.3 million mark-to-market loss related to the Company’s share repurchase program in 3Q15.

 

Copa Holdings closed the quarter with US$773.4 million in cash, short term and long term investments, representing 36% of last twelve months’ revenues.

 

Total debt at the end of 3Q16 amounted to US$1.21 billion, all of which is related to aircraft financing.

 

The company has a very solid business model, which is based on operating the best and most convenient network for intra-Latin America travel from our hub based in Panama’s advantageous geographic position, with the region’s lowest unit costs, best on-time performance, and strongest balance sheet among airlines. Going forward, the Company expects to continue strengthening its long-term competitive position by taking advantage of new growth opportunities and implementing initiatives to further strengthen its network and product.

 OUTLOOK FOR 2016

 

For 2016, based on year-to-date results and management’s expectations for 4Q16, the Company updates its guidance as follows: Consolidated capacity is now expected to grow approximately 1.5% due to continued adjustment of capacity to the regional demand environment. At the same time, the Company is increasing its Load Factor and RASM guidance, mainly as a result of stronger demand and better commercial execution. On the cost side, the Company is maintaining its CASM ex-fuel guidance. Factored into the current guidance is a higher estimated effective price per gallon of jet fuel, including the effect of current hedge contracts and into-plane costs, of US$1.83 per gallon. As a result, the company is narrowing its full year operating margin guidance to a range of 12% to 13%.

CONSOLIDATED THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

 

Operating revenue

 

Copa Holdings’ operating revenue for 3Q16 totaled US$569.0 million, a 4.0% increase from operating revenue of US$547.2 million in 3Q15. This increase was due to a 4.1% or US$21.5 million increase in passenger revenue.

 

Passenger revenue. For 3Q16 passenger revenue totaled US$545.1 million, a 4.1% increase from passenger revenue of US$523.5 million in 3Q15. An 8.0 percentage point increase in load factor, combined with a 7.6% drop in passenger yield, resulted in a 2.1% increase in passenger revenue per ASM (PRASM).

 

Cargo, mail and other. Cargo, mail and other revenue totaled US$24.0 million in 3Q16, a 1.0% increase from cargo, mail and other revenue of US$23.7 million in 3Q15.

 

Operating expenses

 

For 3Q16, consolidated operating expenses decreased 1.0% to US$491.8 million, representing operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) of 8.9 cents. CASM, excluding fuel costs, decreased 0.9% to 6.4 cents. An overview of the major variances on a consolidated basis follows:

 

Aircraft fuel. For 3Q16, aircraft fuel totaled US$140.4 million, a US$8.8 million or 5.9% decrease over aircraft fuel of US$149.2 million in 3Q15. This decrease was primarily a result of a 3.0% increase in gallons consumed, and an 8.6% decrease in the average price per gallon of jet fuel (all-in), which averaged US$1.97 in 3Q16 as compared to US$2.16 in 3Q15. The all-in average price per gallon of jet fuel for 3Q16 includes a $22.2 million fuel hedge loss, compared to a US$24.1 million loss in 3Q15.

 

Salaries and benefits. For 3Q16, salaries and benefits totaled US$73.2 million, a 1.8% increase over salaries and benefits of US$71.9 million in 3Q15. The main driver was yearly salary inflation adjustments, partly offset by foreign exchange rates and headcount efficiencies.

 

Passenger servicing. For 3Q16, passenger servicing totaled US$65.6 million, a 0.7% increase over passenger servicing of US$65.2 million in 3Q15. This increase resulted primarily from additional passengers carried due to higher load factors, offset by lower overall passenger related costs.

 

Commissions. For 3Q16, commissions totaled US$20.9 million, a 7.8% decrease from commissions of US$22.6 million in 3Q15. This decrease was mainly a result of a lower effective travel agencies commission rate, partly offset by higher credit card costs due to higher penetration year over year.

 

Reservations and sales. Reservations and sales totaled US$24.0 million, a 22.1% increase from reservation and sales of US$19.6 million in 3Q15. This increase was primarily a result of higher net bookings.

 

Maintenance, material and repairs. For 3Q16, maintenance, material and repairs totaled US$32.4 million, a 24.9% increase from maintenance, material and repairs of US$25.9 million in 3Q15. This increase was primarily a result of maintenance repair costs related to aircraft lease returns.

 

Depreciation. Depreciation totaled US$35.5 million in 3Q16, flat when compared to 3Q15.

 

   5

 

 

 

Flight operations, aircraft rentals, landing fees and other rentals. Combined, flight operations, aircraft rentals, landing fees and other rentals increased 1.4% from US$75.9 million in 3Q15 to US$77.0 in 3Q16, primarily as a result of increases in overflight expenses.

 

Other. Other expenses totaled US$22.9 million, a decrease of US$7.9 million mainly as a result of non-cash costs associated with the launch of ConnectMiles in 3Q15.

 

Non-operating income (expense)

 

Consolidated non-operating income (expense) totaled a net income of US$9.5 million in 3Q16, compared to a net expense of US$40.1 million in 3Q15.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense totaled US$9.7 million in 3Q16, a 17.1% increase from interest expense of US$8.3 million in 3Q15, mainly as a result of increased factoring expenses of credit card sales in Brazil utilized for currency hedging purposes.

 

Interest income. Interest income totaled US$3.5 million, a 38.8% decrease over interest income of US$5.7 million in 3Q15 due to the reduction of our cash balances in Venezuela.

 

Other, net. Other, net totaled a net gain of US$15.7 million in 3Q16 compared to a net loss of US$37.6 million in 3Q15. Other, net for 3Q16, consists mainly of a fuel hedge mark-to-market gain of US$19.2 million, compared to a fuel hedge mark-to-market loss of US$26.8 million for 3Q15.
