Third Quarter 2016 Highlights
- Operating income (EBIT) increased in the third quarter 2016, reaching $83.4 million, with an improved operating margin of 7.9%. This represents a 36 bps1 quarter on quarter increase resulting from efficiencies derived through the Company's expense reduction program and revised hedging policy. Further, operating revenues1 reached $1.1 billion for the quarter.
- These results were primarily driven by a 3.1% reduction in total operating costs1 as the Company benefited from its revised fuel hedging strategy and leaner cost structure. This was partially offset by a 7.6% decrease in non-passenger revenues1 and a slight reduction in passenger revenues (1.7%).
- For the 3rd quarter of 2016 yields reached 8.8 cents, a 7.4% increase when compared to the yield of 2Q 2016. This represents Avianca's first quarter over quarter yield increase since the second quarter 2014. This trend was supported by an increase of 5.9% in third quarter 2016 traffic numbers (RPKs) when compared to the same quarter last year.
- Cost per available seat kilometer (CASK1) decreased 6.0% to 8.2 cents in 3Q 2016, compared to 8.7 cents in 3Q 2015. This was primarily driven by lower jet fuel prices, which decreased by 10% during the quarter, as well as by a 16.6% year on year reduction in maintenance and repairs expenses. In addition, Avianca's cost control initiatives continue to yield efficiencies. CASK ex-fuel1 therefore declined 0.5%, to 6.4 cents.
- EBITDAR for the 3Q 2016 was $229.1 million, while the EBITDAR margin reached 21.6%; a 118 bps1 increase when compared to 2015.
- Adjusted Net income excluding special items totaled $47.6 million. Adjusted net income margin1 for 3Q 2016 therefore reached 4.5%.
- Avianca's leverage position (Net Adjusted debt to EBITDAR) decreased to 5.99x from 6.79x on December 31, 2015, as the Company reduced its total debt by $224.6 million in conjunction with an improvement in profitability.
- Capacity, measured in Available Seat Kilometers (ASKs), increased 3.1% during 3Q 2016, primarily due to the annualized effect of the international capacity deployed to Europe during 2015. The Company continued to see robust traffic numbers on its international routes, particularly to Europe, South America and North America. Passenger traffic, measured in Revenue Passenger Kilometers (RPKs), increased by 5.9%, reaching a consolidated load factor of 83.5% across the network.
- Between July and September, the Company took delivery of one sharklet-equipped A319 and two new wide-body B787-8 aircraft. Avianca Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries therefore ended the quarter with a consolidated operating fleet of 177 aircraft.
CEO Message
Dear Shareholders,
While we continue to experience some political and macroeconomic uncertainty in several markets throughout Latin America during the third quarter of 2016, Avianca benefited from welcome oil price stability as well as exchange rate steadiness in key markets. These positive developments allowed Avianca to adjust its pricing strategy, providing our customers with improved predictability in terms of travel expenditures and purchasing power when abroad.
Said stability has fueled renewed demand on both the international and domestic fronts. Growth in terms of ASKs has been leveled throughout our network, at around 3%, as the annualization effect of last year's capacity deployment diminishes. As a result, passenger traffic numbers, measured in RPK, grew by 5.9% when compared to the same period in 2015, driven by steady demand in our home markets and strong sales for our international routes. In particular, the services from Bogota to Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, London and Madrid all registered load factors above 85%. As such, the 83.5% load factor registered this quarter across the network is the strongest since the integration between AVIANCA and TACA. Similarly, due to the particularly strong demand for our routes to and from Spain, we decided to substantially increase frequencies to the Iberian Peninsula, from 21 to 35 weekly frequencies, in order to best respond to our customers' needs.
In line with the fleet plan we established at the beginning of the year, we have incorporated three brand new aircraft: one sharklet-equipped single aisle A319 and two wide body B787-8. We therefore ended the quarter with an operating fleet comprised of 177 aircraft.
Apart from the positive trends we're seeing across our network, we were also able to achieve several important corporate milestones during the third quarter. We began operations at our Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) facility in Rio Negro, which positions Avianca at the forefront of international aeronautic maintenance industry. With an investment of more than USD50 million, Avianca's MRO not only allows for simultaneous maintenance of up to five single aisle aircraft but also ensures significant improvement in future cost control.
Avianca also achieved a 3.1% reduction in Operating Costs1 this quarter, in line with our ongoing effort to streamline our cost structure throughout the organization. Said reduction was mainly driven by a decrease in maintenance and repairs as well as in crew training expenses.
Further, our LifeMiles loyalty program achieved solid results during the third quarter. Its cobranded credit card base increased by 22.3%, reaching a total of 520,000 credit cards by quarter's end. As a result, the program ended the quarter with 6.9 million members, which represents an 8.9% year on year increase. On October 19, 2016, LifeMiles signed a new partnership with Grupo Bancolombia, one of the leading franchises in Colombia and Central America, with over 11 million clients and USD 54.5 billion in total assets. This partnership is an important step in consolidating the loyalty program's position within the region. It allows our new clients from four new markets to accumulate and redeem their miles across the entire Avianca network.
The milestones I have described, combined with our successful strategy, have resulted in a profitable third quarter for Avianca. The Company reported USD 1.1 billion in revenues1 this quarter, while operational costs1 decreased by 3.1% to USD 978.8 million. Avianca therefore recorded a 7.9% operating margin (EBIT) for the third quarter 2016. As a consequence of said profitability and in line with the Company's efforts to reduce its debt burden Avianca decreased its total debt by $224.6 million over the last nine months, resulting in an adjusted net debt to EBTIDAR multiple of 5.99x.
Avianca also made important progress related to its organizational restructuring this quarter, eliminating the complexity of our reporting structure and redefining upper and middle management positions. Our new team looks forward to addressing any other new challenges that may lie ahead.
Along these lines, it is with great pleasure that we announce that Roberto Held Otero has joined Avianca Holdings as our new CFO, and assumed his new position on November 1, 2016. Prior to joining Avianca, Roberto was CFO of PROCAFECOL S.A., which markets premium Colombian coffee and manages the Juan Valdez brand worldwide, where he led and improved financial processes automation and efficiency. Before that he spent over 13 years in senior capital markets positions with Citigroup and the Bolsa de Valores of Colombia. Given his considerable work experience and specific skillset in this area, I am confident that Roberto will be an invaluable asset to Avianca.
Gerardo Grajales, who led the Company's Finance team for the past 14 years, will now be heading Avianca's new strategic business unit. Said department will focus on developing and strengthening Avianca's different business units, such as LifeMiles, Avianca Cargo, Deprisa, and Avianca Services among others. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Gerardo for his commitment and achievements which have transformed Avianca into a strong, well regarded and more profitable company- both domestically and internationally.
Finally, as we prepare for the fourth quarter 2016 peak season, we reconfirm our EBIT margin guidance set out at the beginning of 2016 of 5.5% - 7.5%. While we reaffirm our commitment to providing Avianca's customers with best in class service, we also will continue to focus on generating profitable growth for all of our stakeholders.
Sincerely,
Hernán Rincón
Chief Executive Officer

Management Comments on 3Q 2016 Results
Third quarter 2016 was a strong quarter for Avianca; the Company reached an operating income (EBIT) of $83.4 million, with an operating income (EBIT1) margin of 7.9%; a 36 bps1 year on year increase. These results were mainly driven by a 3.1% reduction in total operating costs1 as the Company has begun benefiting from its revised hedging policy; reducing expenses by approximately USD 30 million when compared to 3Q 2015. The Company has also generated important efficiencies through cost cutting initiatives, as a result maintenance expenses1 decreased 16.6% throughout the period. Third quarter 2016 CASK ex-fuel1 therefore declined 0.5%, to 6.4 cents. This was partially offset by a 2.7% decline in total revenues1, primarily driven by a 7.6% reduction in Non-Passenger Revenues1. Passenger revenues decreased by only 1.7% as compared to the same period last year.
Total operating revenues1 amounted to approximately $1.1 billion during 3Q 2016. This represents a 2.7% year on year decrease, partially due to a 1.7% decline in passenger revenue, a 7.1% yield decline, as well as a 7.6% decrease in cargo and other revenues1. This represents Avianca's first quarter over quarter yield increase since the second quarter 2014. Cargo and other revenue1 represented 17.1% of total revenues in the third quarter 2016. The latter was primarily driven by a 1.7% decrease in average fare, as well as a decrease in the total tons transported associated with lower import volumes from North America to Colombia, Brazil and Ecuador.
The LifeMiles Loyalty Program continued to deliver strong results during the 3Q2016, with an 11.7% increase in revenues as compared to the same period of 2015. In terms of membership growth, the quarter ended with more than 6.9 million members, which represents an 8.9% year on year increase. During the same period, the retail partnership program continued to expand, with a 6.7% increase in the number of new commercial partners, to 303. Finally, LifeMiles active co-branded cards ended the quarter with more than 520,000 cards, which represents a 22.3% year on year increase.
Avianca transported more than 7.5 million passengers in the third quarter of 2016; a 3.2% year on year increase. Traffic figures (RPKs) increased above capacity (ASKs) resulting in a consolidated load factor of 83.5% the strongest since the integration between AVIANCA and TACA. Therefore, routes to Europe during September 2016 reached an average consolidated load factor of 90.9%, and of 89.3% from Bogota to Buenos Aires, contributing to the strong 15.9% traffic growth from home markets to South America.
3Q 2016 operating expenses1 reached $978.8 million; 3.1% year on year decrease. This was primarily driven by a 19.3% decline in Fuel Expenses associated with lower jet fuel prices and changes in Avianca´s hedging policy. Adjusted for cargo discount and for comparison purposes, Sales and Marketing1 expenses decreased by 3.1% as compared to 3Q 2015. Further, Maintenance and Repairs decreased 16.6% due to the reduction in fleet re-delivery provisions as well as a decline in engine overhaul expenses. These results were partially offset by a 7.5% increase in Salaries and Wages as the Company adjusted for severance payments in line with the organizational restructuring and had an increase in Ground Operation expenses.
As part of the Company's on-going fuel hedging strategy, a total of 104.2 million gallons of fuel were hedged at the end of the third quarter 2016, of which 58.1 million gallons correspond to approximately 55% of the total expected volume to be consumed over 2016. The remaining volume represents approximately 5.0% of the total expected fuel consumption from 2017 to 2018. Coverage levels were set at $1.39 per gallon. During 2016, hedging expenses are expected to range between $5 to $7 million per quarter, allowing the Company to cap its hedging expenses in order to derive additional benefits from lower fuel prices throughout the year.
In accordance with the Company's fleet plan, Avianca took delivery of one sharklet-equipped A319 and two new wide body B787-8 aircraft between July and September 2016. Avianca Holdings S.A. and its subsidiaries therefore ended the quarter with a consolidated operating fleet of 177 aircraft.
The Company recorded other non-operating expenses of $47.8 million for the 3Q 2016, compared to a non-operating income of $8.1 million for the same quarter of 2015. Non-operating expenses include interest expenses related to incremental aircraft debt and additional corporate debt as well as FX gain or losses. The Company also recorded of $10.0 million in expenses related to the foreign exchange non-cash translation adjustments, compared to a $43.9 million gain for the same period of 2015. This effect is primarily due to a loss in foreign exchange translation adjustments, consisting of the net non-cash gain (or loss from) of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in Colombian Pesos, Argentinian Pesos, and Venezuelan Bolivares subject to the USD exchange rate.
The Company's cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities, ended the quarter at $411.3 million. Including short-term certificates and bank deposits, adjusted cash and cash equivalents and available-for-sale securities (other current assets) came in at $420.9 million, equivalent to about 10.3% of revenues for the last twelve months. As of September 30, 2016 the Company valuated its cash balances held in Venezuela at the latest DICOM exchange rate of 658.9 VEF per 1.00 USD, resulting in a cumulative loss of $4.9 million. Accordingly, the carrying amount of cash balances held in Venezuela of $0.4 million have been classified as cash and cash equivalents, which is expected to be used over the next three months as part of the normal operations in Venezuela.
In line with the Company's deleveraging strategy, as of September 30, 2016, Avianca reduced its debt burden by $224.6 million. As such Avianca´s leverage position (Net Adjusted debt to EBITDAR) decreased to 5.99x, from 6.79x on December 31, 2015. Consequently, the Company's total long term debt amounted to $2.85 billion, while total liabilities came in at $4.94 billion.

Glossary of Operating Performance Terms
This report contains terms relating to operating performance that are commonly used in the airline industry and are defined as follows:
A
ASK: Available seat kilometers represents aircraft seating capacity multiplied by the number of kilometers the seats are flown.
ATK: Available ton kilometers represents cargo ton capacity multiplied by the number of kilometers the cargo is flown.
B

C

CASK ex-fuel: Represents operating expenses other than fuel divided by available seat kilometers (ASKs).
Code Share Agreement: refers to our code share agreements with other airlines with whom we have business arrangements to share the same flight. A seat can be purchased on one airline but is actually operated by a cooperating airline under a different flight number or code. The term "code" refers to the identifier used in flight schedules. generally the two-character IATA airline designator code and flight number. Code share alliances allow greater access to cities through a given airline's network without having to offer extra flights. and makes connections simpler by allowing single bookings across multiple planes.
L
Load Factor: Represents the percentage of aircraft seating capacity that is actually utilized and is calculated by dividing revenue passenger kilometers by available seat kilometers (ASKs).
R
RASK: Operating revenue per available seat kilometer represents operating revenue divided by available seat kilometers.
Revenue Passenger: Represents the total number of paying passengers (which do not include passengers redeeming LifeMiles. frequent flyer miles or other travel awards) flown on all flight segments (with each connecting segment being considered a separate flight segment).
RPK: Revenue passenger kilometers represent the number of kilometers flown by revenue passengers.
RTK: Revenue ton kilometers represents the total cargo tonnage uplifted multiplied by the number of kilometers the cargo is flown.
T
Technical Dispatch Reliability: Represents the percentage of scheduled flights that are not delayed at departure more than 15 minutes or cancelled. in each case due to technical problems.
Y
Yield: Represents the average amount one passenger pays to fly one kilometer. or passenger revenue divided by revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs).
