MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON THE 2Q23 RESULTS

 

Copa Holdings’ second-quarter results continued to benefit from a healthy demand environment, which resulted in solid unit revenues for the quarter. Moreover, lower effective jet fuel prices and the Company’s consistent execution strategy on its ex-fuel costs impacted positively its unit costs base.

 

Operating revenues for the quarter increased 16.7% to US$809.2 million while operating 13.6% more capacity compared to 2Q22. The Company’s load factor came in at 86.1% or 1.3 percentage points above 2Q22 and yields came in at 13.3 cents or 2.0% higher than 2Q22. As a result, passenger revenues per ASM (PRASM) increased 3.6% to 11.4 cents and RASM increased 2.7% to 12.0 cents in the quarter.

 

Operating expenses for 2Q23 decreased 5.6% to US$614.5 million, mainly due to lower fuel costs. Aircraft fuel expenses decreased 27.7% or US$81.8 million compared to 2Q22, due to a 35.9% lower jet fuel price, partially offset by 11.8% more gallons consumed.

Driven by the decrease in fuel cost, cost per available seat mile (CASM) came in at 9.1 cents, a decrease of 17.0% compared to 2Q22. Costs excluding fuel (Ex-fuel CASM) came in at 5.9 cents, a 0.8% decrease when compared to the same period in 2022.

Copa Holdings closed the quarter with US$ 1.3 billion in cash, short-term and long-term investments, which represent 39.6% of the last twelve months’ revenues.

Total debt at the end of 2Q23 amounted to US$1.8 billion compared to US$1.7 billion at the end of 2022, while our Adjusted Net Debt to EBITDA ratio ended at 0.5 times.

 

The Company continued its fleet expansion during the quarter and took delivery of two Boeing 737 MAX 9 aircraft to end the quarter with a total of 101 aircraft in its fleet. Additionally, the Company announced the commencement of its new service to Barquisimeto, Venezuela in October 2023, bringing the total number of destinations in its network to 81.

 

Copa Holdings’ second quarter results are the product of a solid and well-executed business model, which is built on operating the best and most convenient network for intra-Latin America travel from its Hub of the Americas® based on Panama’s advantageous geographic position, low unit costs, best on-time performance, and a strong balance sheet. Going forward, the Company expects to leverage its strong balance sheet, leading liquidity position, and lower cost base to continue strengthening its long-term competitive position by implementing initiatives that will further reinforce its network, product, and cost competitiveness.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATION

 

This press release includes the following non-IFRS financial measures: Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Basic EPS, and Operating CASM Excluding Fuel. This supplemental information is presented because we believe it is a useful indicator of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our performance with other companies in the airline industry. These measures should not be considered in isolation and should be considered together with comparable IFRS measures, in particular operating profit, and net profit. The following is a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the comparable IFRS measures:
