MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON 1Q18 RESULTS
Copa Holdings’ first quarter results reflect a healthy demand environment and great execution. Higher load factors and yields produced a significant unit revenue improvement, which outpaced an oil-driven increase in unit costs and resulted in a year over year margin expansion.
Consolidated operating revenues increased 16.2% to US$715 million during the quarter on capacity growth of 8.4%. Load factor came in at 83.0%, or 1.5 percentage points above 1Q17, while yields came in at 13.3 cents, or 5.3% higher than 1Q17. As a result, passenger revenues per ASM (PRASM) increased 7.2% from 10.3 cents in 1Q17 to 11.0 cents in 1Q18.
Operating expenses for 1Q18 increased 14.5% to US$571.6 million, while operating expenses per ASM (CASM) increased 5.6% to 9.1 cents. Excluding fuel costs, unit costs increased 1.1% to 6.3 cents, mainly as a result of one-time maintenance events related to lease returns.
Aircraft fuel expense increased 27.6% or US$37.6 million compared to 1Q17, as a result of higher jet fuel prices and increased capacity. The Company’s effective jet fuel price increased 17.6%, from an average of US$1.84 per gallon in 1Q17 to US$2.16 per gallon in 1Q18.
The Company recorded non-operating income of US$4.9 million for 1Q18 compared to non-operating expense of US$4.2 million for 1Q17. Non-operating income for 1Q18 includes a US$7.7 million translation gain due to foreign currency fluctuations, and a net interest expense of US$3.3 million, while 1Q17 non-operating expense includes a net interest expense of US$5.5 million, a US$1.5 million expense due to changes in the fair value of derivatives and other expenses, and a US$2.7 million translation gain due to foreign currency fluctuations.

Copa Holdings closed the quarter with slightly over a US$1 billion in cash, short-term and long-term investments, representing approximately 38% of last twelve months´ revenues.
Total debt at the end of 1Q18 amounted to US$1.14 billion compared to US$1.17 billion at the end of 1Q17, 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. 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 2018
For 2018, the Company updates its guidance as follows: Consolidated capacity is expected to grow approximately 9%, and given the higher fuel prices and the Venezuela cancellations occurring in the 2Q18, operating margin is now expected to come at the lower end of the range of 17 to 19 percent.
| Financial Outlook |
2018 Guidance |
2017* Actual |
| Capacity - YOY ASM Growth | +/-9% | 8.8% |
| Operating Margin | 17-19% | 17.3% |
Factored into the above mentioned outlook is a load factor of approximately 84%, Unit Revenues (RASM) of 11 cents, Unit Costs excluding Fuel (Ex-Fuel CASM) of 6.3 cents and a higher estimated effective price per gallon of jet fuel, including into-plane costs, of US$2.25 per gallon.

Operating revenue
Consolidated revenue for 1Q18 totaled US$715 million, a 16.2% or US$99.8 million increase over operating revenue of US$615.3 million in 1Q17, mainly due to a 16.3% or US$97.2 million increase in passenger revenue.

Other operating revenue totaled US$5.8 million in 1Q18, a 23.8% increase from other operating revenue of US$4.7 million in 1Q17 mostly due to higher frequent flyer program revenues.

Operating expenses
For 1Q18, operating expenses increased 14.5% to US$571.6 million, representing operating cost per available seat mile (CASM) of 9.1 cents. Operating cost per available seat mile excluding fuel costs (CASM Excl. Fuel), increased 1.1% from 6.2 cents in 1Q17 to 6.3 cents in 1Q18.
Fuel totaled US$174 million, a US$37.6 million or 27.6% increase over aircraft fuel expense of US$136.3 million in 1Q17. This increase was a result of 8% more gallons consumed given additional capacity, and a 17.6% higher average price per gallon of jet fuel (all-in), which averaged US$2.16 in 1Q18, compared to US$1.84 in 1Q17.
Wages, salaries, benefits and other employees' expenses totaled US$110.6 million, a 9.7% increase over salaries and benefits of US$100.8 million in 1Q17. This was mainly driven by growth in operational staff to support current capacity and future growth, as well as salary adjustments.
Passenger servicing totaled US$25.5 million, a 10.3% increase over passenger servicing of US$23.1 million in 1Q17. This increase resulted primarily from passenger traffic growth and an increase in average length of haul.
Airport facilities and handling charges totaled US$44.5 million, an 8.7% increase over US$41.0 million in 1Q17. This was primarily a result of an increase in departures and passenger traffic.
Sales and distribution totaled US$53.8 million, an 8.1% increase over an expense of US$49.8 million in 1Q17. This increase was mainly a result of higher net bookings due to additional passengers carried.
Maintenance, material and repairs totaled US$31.7 million, a 23.9% increase from maintenance, material and repairs of US$25.6 million in 1Q17. This was a result of one-time maintenance events related to an aircraft lease return.
Depreciation and amortization totaled US$41.9 million in 1Q18, a 5.4% increase over depreciation of US$39.8 million in 1Q17, mainly due to fleet growth and an increase in engine events amortization.
Flight operations, aircraft rentals and other rentals, cargo and courier expenses combined increased 5.6%, from US$59.7 million in 1Q17 to US$63.0 million in 1Q18, mainly as a result of additional flying, partly offset by lower aircraft rental expenses.
Other operating and administrative expenses totaled US$26.6 million in 1Q18, an increase of 15.6% vs 1Q17, mainly as a result of IT projects expenses.
Non-operating Income (Expense)
Consolidated non-operating income (expense) resulted in a net income of US$4.9 million in 1Q18, compared to a net expense of US$4.2 million in 1Q17.
Finance cost totaled US$8.6 million in 1Q18, a 4% decrease from US$8.9 million in 1Q17.
Finance income totaled US$5.2 million, a 52.3% increase over US$3.4 million in 1Q17, as a result of higher cash balance and higher investment yields.
Gain (loss) on foreign currency fluctuations totaled a US$7.7 million gain, compared to a US$2.7 million gain in 1Q17. This gain was mainly driven by a translation gain on Venezuelan Bolivar denominated payables.
| 4 |
Net change in the value of derivatives had no effect in 1Q18 as we had no derivative contracts, compared to a loss of US$0.9 million in 1Q17 related to the mark to market of fuel hedge contracts.
Other non-operating (income) expense resulted in a net income of US$0.5 million in 1Q18 compared to a net expense of US$0.6 million in 1Q17, mainly related to a one-time fee reimbursement.
