| · | Cash, short-term and long-term investments ended 2015 at US$1.1 billion, representing 49% of the last twelve months’ revenues. Of this amount, 38% or US$422.6 million is in Venezuela the repatriation of which is subject to government currency controls. |

MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON 4Q15 RESULTS
Copa Holdings fourth quarter results reflect lower passenger yields driven in large part by the reduction in yields in Brazil, Colombia and Venezuela as well as further demand weakness in other markets, partially offset by lower fuel expense and lower ex-fuel unit costs for the quarter.
Consolidated operating revenues decreased 18.6% to US$532.6 million during the quarter on capacity growth of 2.0%. Load factor came in at 74.8%, 0.3 percentage points below 4Q14, while yields came in at 12.5 cents, 20.4% lower than 4Q14. As a result, passenger revenues per ASM (PRASM) decreased 20.7% from 11.8 cents in 4Q14 to 9.3 cents in 4Q15.
| 3 |
Operating expenses for 4Q15 decreased 10.7% to US$493.5 million, while operating expenses per ASM (CASM) decreased 12.4% to 9.0 cents. Excluding fuel costs, unit costs decreased 2.4% to 6.5 cents, mainly as a result of a decrease in sales related costs and a decrease in salaries and benefits which was primarily due to a reduction in variable compensation accruals.
Aircraft fuel expense decreased 29.5% or US$57.3 million compared to 4Q14, as a result of lower jet fuel prices, partly offset by increased capacity. The Company’s effective jet fuel price, which includes a realized fuel hedge loss of US$24.1 million in 4Q15 and a US$11.0 million loss in 4Q14, decreased 30.8%, from an average of US$2.81 per gallon in 4Q14 to US$1.95 per gallon in 4Q15. For 4Q15, the Company had fuel hedges in place representing 25% of its consolidated volume. With regards to its fuel hedge policy, the Company currently has hedged approximately 33% and 6% of its consolidated volume for 2016 and 2017, respectively.
The Company recorded non-operating expenses of US$26.2 million for 4Q15 compared to non-operating expenses of US$80.9 million for 4Q14. Non-operating expenses for 4Q15 included a fuel hedge mark-to-market loss of US$25.3 million, compared to a fuel hedge mark-to-market loss of US$89.1 million in 4Q14.
Copa Holdings closed the quarter with US$1.1 billion in cash, short-term and long-term investments, representing approximately 49% of last twelve months´ revenues. Of such cash, US$422.6 million is subject to exchange controls in Venezuela and pending repatriation. Given the current economic conditions of the country, we believe it is highly unlikely that in the foreseeable future we will receive authorizations to repatriate these funds at the exchange rates that these sales were incurred. Given this, we may have to book a foreign currency translation loss of our outstanding Venezuela cash balance. Excluding our funds in Venezuela, cash, short term and long term investments amounted to US$684 million, or 30% of last twelve months’ revenues.
Total debt at the end of 4Q15 amounted to US$1.3 billion compared to US$1.1 billion at the end of 4Q14, all of which is related to aircraft financing.
During the quarter, as part of its approved US$250 million share buyback program, the Company completed a US$100 million accelerated share repurchase agreement pursuant to which the Company was delivered in total 1.96 million shares of its common stock.
Copa Holdings’ fourth quarter results are mostly the product of a weak economic environment in Latin America, in particular South America. However, we believe we have 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 unit costs amongst the lowest in the region, best on-time performance, and a strong balance sheet. Going forward, the Company expects to 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.

OUTLOOK FOR 2016
For 2016, the Company updates its guidance as follows: Consolidated capacity is expected to grow in the range of +/-3%, mainly as a result of the full year effect of capacity added in 2015.
Load factors are expected to come in at +/-76%, slightly higher than 2015, mainly as a result of capacity optimization in weaker markets. Unit revenues (RASM) are expected to come in at +/-9.8 cents due to lower economic growth expectations for Latin America. Unit costs excluding fuel, CASM ex-fuel, are expected to come in at +/-6.5 cents mainly due to lower capacity growth than 2015.
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$1.70 per gallon. As a result, the Company is projecting an operating margin in the range of 11% to 13% for 2016.
| Financial Outlook | 2016 Guidance | 2015 Actual | ||||||
| Capacity - YOY ASM Growth | +/-3 | % | 4.4 | % | ||||
| Average Load Factor | +/-76 | % | 75.2 | % | ||||
| RASM (cents) | +/-9.8 | 10.4 | ||||||

CONSOLIDATED FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Operating revenue
Consolidated revenue for 4Q15 totaled US$532.6 million, an 18.6% or US$121.6 million decrease over operating revenue of US$654.2 million in 4Q14, due to a 19.1% or US$120.9 million decrease in passenger revenue.
Passenger revenue. For 4Q15, passenger revenue totaled US$512.1 million, a decrease of 19.1% from passenger revenue of US$633.1 million in 4Q14. A 0.3 percentage point decrease in load factor, combined with a 20.4% drop in passenger yield, resulted in a 20.7% decrease in PRASM.
Cargo, mail and other. Cargo, mail and other revenue totaled US$20.5 million in 4Q15, a 3.2% decrease from cargo, mail and other of US$21.1 in 4Q14.
Operating expenses
For 4Q15, operating expenses decreased 10.7% to US$493.5 million, representing operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) of 9.0 cents. Operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) excluding fuel costs decreased 2.4% from 6.7 cents in 4Q14 to 6.5 cents in 4Q15.
An overview of the major variances on a consolidated basis follows:
| 5 |
Aircraft fuel. For 4Q15, aircraft fuel totaled US$136.9 million, a US$57.3 million or 29.5% decrease over aircraft fuel of US$194.1 million in 4Q14. This decrease was primarily a result of a 30.8% lower average price per gallon of jet fuel (all-in), which averaged US$1.95 in 4Q15 as compared to US$2.81 in 4Q14, partially offset by a 1.9% increase in gallons consumed from the additional capacity. This average price per gallon of jet fuel for 4Q15 includes a $24.1 million realized fuel hedge loss, compared to a US$11.0 million fuel hedge loss in 4Q14.
Salaries and benefits. For 4Q15, salaries and benefits totaled US$70.4 million, a 13.7% decrease over salaries and benefits of US$81.6 million in 4Q14. This was mainly driven by a reduction in variable compensation accruals and the positive effect of weaker FX rates against the US dollar.
Passenger servicing. For 4Q15, passenger servicing totaled US$63.7 million, a 9.4% decrease over passenger servicing of US$70.3 million in 4Q14. This decrease resulted primarily from efficiencies related to airport handling at stations and the positive effect of weaker FX rates against the US dollar.
Commissions. For 4Q15, commissions totaled US$19.6 million, a 23.6% decrease over commissions of US$25.6 million in 4Q14. This decrease was primarily a result of a lower passenger revenue base, partly offset by a higher average commission rate.
Reservations and sales. Reservations and sales totaled US$24.9 million, a 4.5% increase over reservation and sales of US$23.8 million in 4Q14. This increase was primarily a result of an increase in passengers carried.
Maintenance, material and repairs. For 4Q15, maintenance, material and repairs totaled US$31.5 million, a 36.0% increase from maintenance, material and repairs of US$23.2 million in 4Q14. This increase was primarily a result of aircraft leases returned during the quarter and increases to provisions for future lease returns.
Depreciation. Depreciation totaled US$34.1 million in 4Q15, an 8.2% increase over depreciation of US$31.5 million in 4Q14. This increase was primarily driven by additional 2015 aircraft deliveries, and the accelerated depreciation of maintenance events related to leased aircraft returns during 4Q15 and scheduled for 2016.
Flight operations, aircraft rentals. landing fees and other rentals. Combined, flight operations, aircraft rentals, landing fees and other rentals increased 0.9%, from US$78.4 million in 4Q14 to US$79.0 million in 4Q15, mainly as a result of higher aircraft rentals expense related to additional leased aircraft deliveries in 4Q15.
Other. Other expenses totaled US$33.5 million in 4Q15, an increase of 40.3% mainly as a result of non-cash costs related to the launch of ConnectMiles.
Non-operating income (expense)
Consolidated non-operating income (expense) totaled an expense of US$26.2 million in 4Q15, compared to an expense of US$80.9 million in 4Q14.
Interest expense. Interest expense totaled US$8.9 million in 4Q15, a 12.1% increase from interest expense of US$8.0 million in 4Q14, as a result a higher effective interest rate and higher outstanding debt balance (up to US$1.3 billion in 4Q15 from US$1.1 billion in 4Q14) mainly related to 2015 aircraft deliveries.
Interest income. Interest income totaled US$8.2 million, a 27.5% increase over interest income of US$6.4 million in 4Q14.
Other, net. Other net totaled an expense of US$25.4 million in 4Q15 compared to a net expense of US$79.3 million in 4Q14. Other, net includes a US$25.3 million loss in fuel hedge mark-to-market contracts.
