GOL Announces 2Q22 Investor Update


SÃO PAULO, July 11, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A GOL Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (NYSE: GOL e B3: GOLL4) ("GOL" ou "Company"), Brazil's largest airline, today provides an Investor Update on its expectations for the second quarter of 2022. The information below is preliminary and unaudited. The Company will discuss its 2Q22 results in a conference call on July 28, 2022.

Overall Commentary

  • For 2Q22, GOL expects a Loss Per Share (EPS) and Loss Per American Depositary Shares (EPADS) of approximately R$1.801 and US$0.751, respectively.

  •  EBITDA margin for the quarter is expected to be approximately 10%2.

  •  Passenger unit revenue (PRASK) for the second quarter is expected to be up approximately 50% year over year, driven by the strong recovery in corporate travel on GOL's domestic and regional networks and the return of leisure travel on the Company's international network. Smiles revenues increased by 48% when compared to same period of 2019 with a 25% growth in the customer base versus 2Q19. Total unit revenue (RASK) is expected to be up approximately 40% year over year.

  • Non-fuel unit costs (CASK Ex-Fuel) are expected to decrease approximately 40%2 compared to the second quarter of the prior year, primarily due to the increase in productivity (ASKs, aircraft utilization and operating efficiency) and the appreciation of the Brazilian Real versus the U.S. Dollar. Fuel unit costs (CASK Fuel) are expected to increase approximately 73% year over year, driven by an 80% increase in the average jet fuel price, partially offset by a reduction of approximately 6% in fuel consumption per flight hour due to the higher number of 737-MAXs in the fleet.

  • GOL's financial leverage, as measured by Net Debt3 / EBITDA2,4 ratio was approximately 10x at the end of June 2022 quarter (8.4x in IFRS-16). Total liquidity at quarter-end is expected to be at R$3.6 billion5.
