Excluding special items, Copa Holdings would have reported an adjusted net income of $153.6 million, or $3.46 per share, a 23.5% increase over adjusted net income of US$124.4 million and US$2.80 per share for 1Q13.
§Operating income for 1Q14 came in at US$177.0 million, a 24.1% increase over operating income of US$142.6 million in 1Q13. Operating margin for the period came in at 24.8%, compared to 22.2% in 1Q13, as a result of higher unit revenues and lower unit costs.
§Total revenues increased 11.3% to US$713.6 million. Yield per passenger mile increased 0.5% to 17.7 cents and operating revenue per available seat mile (RASM) increased 1.9% to 14.2 cents. Furthermore, adjusting for a 3.7% increase in length of haul, yields and RASM increased 2.3% and 3.7%, respectively.
§For 1Q14, healthy demand trends resulted in passenger traffic (RPMs) growth of 11.0% on a 9.3% capacity expansion. Consolidated load factor came in at 78.1%, or 1.2 percentage points higher than 1Q13.
§Operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) decreased 1.5%, from 10.9 cents in 1Q13 to 10.7 cents in 1Q14 due to lower jet fuel costs. CASM, excluding fuel, increased 1.0% to 6.6 cents mainly due to full year effect of 2013 newly leased aircraft.
§Cash, short term and long term investments ended 1Q14 at US$1.1 billion, representing 41% of the last twelve months’ revenues. Of this amount, 44% is in Venezuela pending repatriation due to government currency controls.

MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON 1Q14 RESULTS

 

Copa Holdings first quarter results continued to benefit from positive demand trends, which resulted in solid load factors and yields, as well as lower unit costs. For 1Q14, the Company reported operating income of US$177.0 million, a 24.1% increase over 1Q13. As a result, operating margin for the quarter stood at 24.8%, an increase of 2.6 percentage points over 1Q13.

 

Total revenues increased 11.3% on 9.3% capacity expansion during the period. Load factor came in at 78.1%, or 1.2 percentage points above 1Q13, while yields increased 0.5% to 17.7 cents. As a result, passenger revenues per ASM (PRASM) increased 2.1%, from 13.5 cents in 1Q13 to 13.8 cents in 1Q14. However, when adjusting for a 3.7% increase in length of haul, PRASM increased 3.9% over 1Q13.

 

Consolidated operating expenses for 1Q14 increased 7.6% to US$536.6 million, while consolidated operating expenses per ASM (CASM) decreased 1.5% to 10.7 cents. Excluding fuel costs, unit costs increased 1.0% to 6.6 cents, mainly as a result of higher aircraft rentals due to seven new leased aircraft from 2013.

 

Aircraft fuel expense increased 3.6% or US$7.2 million compared to 1Q13, mostly as a result of increased capacity, partly offset by lower fuel prices. The Company’s effective jet fuel price, which includes realized hedge gains of US$2.8 million and US$2.3 million for 1Q14 and 1Q13, respectively, decreased from an average of US$3.34 in 1Q13 to US$3.19 in 1Q14. 

 

For 1Q14, the Company had fuel hedges in place representing 30% of its consolidated volume. Continuing with the execution of its fuel hedge policy, the Company at the end of the quarter has already hedged approximately 29% in 2Q14, 23% in 3Q14 and 20% in 4Q14. For 2015, the Company had hedged approximately 14% of its forecasted fuel consumption.

 

The Company recorded a net non-operating expense of US$3.3 million for 1Q14 compared to a net non-operating expense of US$14.2 million for 1Q13. Non-operating income (expense) included a fuel hedge mark-to-market loss of US$3.4 million compared to a fuel hedge mark-to-market gain of US$3.4 million for 1Q13, and a US$1.2 million accounting gain related to the appreciation of the Venezuelan Bolivar SICAD 1 rate by the end of the quarter, compared to a US$13.9 million loss due to the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar in 1Q13.

 

Copa Holdings closed the quarter with US$1.1 billion in cash, short term and long term investments, representing 41% of last twelve months´ revenues. Of such cash, US$496.2 million was subject to exchange controls in Venezuela and was pending repatriation. Cash, short term and long term investments excluding the funds pending repatriation from Venezuela represent approximately 23% of last twelve months’ revenues. Additionally, total debt at the end of 1Q14 amounted to US$1.0 billion, all of which relates to aircraft financing.

 

Copa Holdings’ strong first quarter results are the product of solid and well executed business model based on the goal of operating the best and most convenient network for intra-Latin America travel. Going forward, the Company will continue to strengthen its long-term competitive position by taking advantage of new growth opportunities and implementing initiatives to further strengthen its network and product.

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

 

The Company recently published capacity reductions on its Venezuela flights as of May 2014, as well as additional reductions scheduled for June and July. All together these capacity adjustments represent approximately a 40% reduction in seats to the Venezuelan market. This will affect profitability as the spare capacity will be redeployed to other existing markets which are not as profitable. Ultimately these capacity reductions aim to substantially minimize the accumulation of bolivars going forward.

OUTLOOK FOR 2014

For 2014, the Company reaffirms its current guidance. The Company expects to maintain its consolidated capacity growth at +/-10%. Load factor and unit revenue guidance remain unchanged and are expected to come in at +/-77% and +/-13.7 cents, respectively. Additionally, we are also keeping our CASM ex-fuel guidance at +/-6.8 cents, as the Company expects unit revenues and unit costs to be substantially unchanged from 2013 levels.

 

Factored into the current guidance is an estimated effective price per gallon of jet fuel, including the effect of current hedge contracts and into-plane costs, of US$3.15 per gallon. The Company currently estimates the published capacity reduction in Venezuela will have an impact in its operating margin of less than one percentage point (1 p.p.) for the year and, as a result, is reaffirming its full year operating margin guidance in the range of 19% to 21%.

Operating expenses

 

For 1Q14, consolidated operating expenses increased 7.6% to US$536.6 million, representing operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) of 10.7 cents. CASM, excluding fuel costs, increased 1.0% to 6.6 cents. An overview of the major variances on a consolidated basis follows:

 

Aircraft fuel. For 1Q14, aircraft fuel totaled US$208.0 million, a US$7.2 million or 3.6% increase over aircraft fuel of US$200.8 million in 1Q13. This increase was primarily a result of a 8.7% increase in gallons consumed, which was partly offset by a 4.7% decrease in the average price per gallon of jet fuel (all-in), which averaged US$3.19 in 1Q14 as compared to US$3.34 in 1Q13. The all-in average price per gallon of jet fuel for 1Q14 includes a $2.8 million fuel hedge gain, compared to a US$2.3 million gain in 1Q13. Excluding the effect of fuel hedge gains for both periods, fuel prices decreased 4.5%, from US$3.38 per gallon in 1Q13 to US$3.23 in 1Q14.

 

Salaries and benefits. For 1Q14, salaries and benefits totaled US$74.0 million, a 10.9% increase over salaries and benefits of US$66.7 million in 1Q13. The main driver was an increase in operating headcount to support additional capacity, as well as the full year effect of salary adjustments.

 

Passenger servicing. For 1Q14, passenger servicing totaled US$64.1 million, a 6.3% increase over passenger servicing of US$60.3 million in 1Q13. This increase resulted from the growth in operations and passengers carried.

 

Commissions. For 1Q14, commissions totaled US$26.1 million, a 7.7% increase over commissions of US$24.3 million in 1Q13. This increase was primarily a result a higher revenue base, partly offset by a lower average commission rate.

 

Reservations and sales. Reservations and sales totaled US$23.9 million, a 11.2% increase over reservation and sales of US$21.4 million in 1Q13. This increase was primarily a result of a 11.5% increase in passenger revenue.

 

Maintenance, material and repairs. For 1Q14, maintenance, material and repairs totaled US$24.7 million, a 11.0% increase over maintenance, material and repairs of US$22.3 million in 1Q13. This increase was mainly due to the full year effect of return condition provisions for new leased aircraft.

 

Depreciation. Depreciation totaled US$27.8 million in 1Q14, a 12.2% increase over depreciation of US$24.8 million in 1Q13. This increase was primarily driven by additional spares, aircraft components, and projects.

 

Flight operations, aircraft rentals, landing fees and other rentals. Combined, flight operations, aircraft rentals, landing fees and other rentals increased 13.1% from US$61.6 million in 1Q13 to US$69.7 million in 1Q14, primarily as a result of an increase in departures and additional aircraft rentals.

 

Other. Other expenses totaled US$18.2 million, an increase of US$1.8 million from 1Q13. This was primarily a result of an increase in other general administrative expenses.

Non-operating income (expense)

 

Consolidated non-operating income (expense) totaled a net expense of US$3.3 million in 1Q14, compared to a net expense of US$14.2 million in 1Q13.

 

Interest expense. Interest expense totaled US$7.1 million in 1Q14, a 7.4% decline from interest expense of US$7.7 million in 1Q13, as a result of lower interest rates on our variable rate debt and lower outstanding debt balance.

 

Interest income. Interest income totaled US$3.7 million, a 38.1% increase over interest income of US$2.7 million in 1Q13, mainly as a result of a higher average cash and investments balance.

 

Other, net. Other, net totaled a net gain of US$0.1 million in 1Q14, compared to a net loss of US$9.2 million in 1Q13. Other, net, for 1Q14, includes a fuel hedge mark-to-market loss of US$3.4 million and a US$1.2 million gain related to the appreciation of the Venezuelan Bolivar SICAD 1 rate by the end of the quarter, compared to a fuel hedge mark-to-market gain of US$3.4 million and a US$13.9 million loss on the devaluation of the Venezuelan Bolivar for 1Q13.
