In November 2005, GOLs Board of Directors approved a ratio change in the Companys American Depositary Receipt (ADR) program from a ratio of one (1) American Depositary Share (ADS) representing two (2) preferred shares to a ratio of one (1) ADS representing one (1) preferred share in the Company. The ratio change took effect on December 13, 2005, and, from this date forward, GOLs ADSs traded at the new ratio. The purpose of the ADS ratio change was to increase liquidity in the trading of GOL ADSs on the NYSE. GOLs Board also approved managements recommendation to alter the frequency of cash dividend payments from yearly to quarterly, beginning with the first quarter of 2006, maintaining a minimum payout ratio of 25% of earnings. | ||
In November 2005, GOL partnered with Bovespa and the Coast of Sauípe to stimulate investments in the Social Stock Exchange (SSE), an initiative supporting educational projects. | ||
GOL was named the Best Airline in Latin America by Global Finance Magazine. The ranking, which was published in the November 2005 issue, evaluates companies on a number of key areas, including: revenue and profit growth, market capitalization and share price growth, product innovation, global expansion and social responsibility. | ||
In November 2005, GOL launched the Voe Fácil (Fly Easy) GOL Program, which allows customers to pay for airline tickets in up to 36 monthly installments. GOLs Fly Easy Program offers an innovative new way to purchase airline tickets. | ||
In November 2005, GOL signed a contract with Aviation Partners Boeing (Joint Venture of Aviation Partners and Boeing) for the delivery of 60 Blended Winglet Systems, in order to reduce the Companys fuel costs and significantly improve airplane performance during take-off and landing on short runways. | ||
In December 2005, GOLs shares (GOLL4) were included in the Corporate Sustainability Index (ISE) of the São Paulo Stock Exchange (Bovespa). | ||
At the end of 2005, GOL formalized a joint venture for the creation of a low-cost carrier (LCC) in the Mexican air transportation market, in which GOL will hold 25% of the voting capital stock and approximately 48% of the total capital stock, the remaining capital being subscribed by Mexican investors. Plans are to commence flights in late-2006. | ||
Using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control Integrated Framework, GOL conducted its 404 certification process during 2005. GOL is one of the first companies in Latin America to assess the effectiveness of the Companys internal control over financial reporting, and meet the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. |

MANAGEMENTS COMMENTS ON 4Q05 RESULTS |
GOLs performance in the fourth quarter of 2005 demonstrated the Companys ability to grow capacity significantly while reducing costs and maintaining high profitability and quality service, even during periods of extremely high fuel prices. GOL remains committed to its virtuous cycle of maintaining low costs, allowing us to offer the lowest fares and achieve the highest load factors in the Brazilian market, thereby driving industry-leading profitability, commented Constantino de Oliveira Junior, GOLs CEO. Mr. Oliveira added, Through the addition of aircraft and flight frequencies during the quarter, GOL significantly increased its domestic market share and consolidated its position as the second-largest domestic airline in Brazil.
GOLs EPS in the fourth quarter of 2005 was slightly above average market estimates and demonstrated the benefits of increased scale, high productivity, and strict cost control. GOL continued to show the highest load factors in the Brazilian market and one of the highest aircraft utilizations in the world, while maintaining market cost leadership. During the quarter, GOLs load factor increased 1.0 percentage
Page 3 of 26
point to 74.2%; aircraft utilization remained at 14 block hours per day, while operating costs per ASK decreased 19.0%, excluding fuel.
While fuel costs per available seat kilometer (ASK) increased 12.1% year-over-year, GOLs operating cost per seat kilometer (CASK) decreased by 8.7% to 16.66 cents (R$). Cost reductions were driven by increased scale, productivity and stage length, reductions in sales, marketing and aircraft maintenance expenses, and a 19.4% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the US dollar. The 17% increase in employees over 3Q05, related to planned capacity expansion, was compensated with higher productivity.
Demand for our passenger air transportation services grew at high rates during the quarter, stimulated by average fare reductions of 5.2% vs. the previous year. The 12.1% increase in fuel CASK (fuel CASK represented 40% of total CASK), combined with a 18.3% reduction in RASK, resulted in operating income reduction of 5.4% in the year-over-year comparison. Fuel-neutral operating income was R$202.1mm in 4Q05, representing an EBIT margin of 24.6% . The Company has hedged approximately 55% of its fuel price exposure and 65% of its U.S. dollar exposure for 1Q06, and 21% of its fuel exposure for 2Q06-4Q06. Our absolute market cost leadership, represented by a stage-length adjusted CASK over 25% lower than our closest competitor, is key to our virtuous cycle, and allows us to provide the lowest fares and the best customer value proposition in the market, commented Richard Lark, GOLs CFO.
In terms of future perspectives, besides maintaining high levels of productivity and profitability, short-term growth will be driven by the addition of new aircraft, new destinations and new frequencies. The addition of three Boeing 737 aircraft to the fleet in the first quarter of 2006 will increase seat capacity by approximately 45% year-over-year.
GOL remains committed to its strategy of profitable expansion through a low cost structure and high quality customer service. We are very proud that more than 36 million customers have chosen to fly GOL, and we continue to make every effort to offer them the best in air travel: new planes, frequent flights in the main markets, an ever-expanding integrated route system and lower prices; all of which is delivered by our dedicated team of employees who are key to our success," stated Mr. Oliveira. By remaining focused on our business model, while continuing to grow, be innovative and provide the lowest fares, we will further create value for our customers, employees and shareholders.
REVENUES |
Net operating revenues, principally revenues from passenger transportation, increased 31.4% to R$821.1mm, primarily due to higher revenue passenger kilometers (RPK) and a lower yield. RPK growth was driven by a 44.0% increase in departures, as well as an increase in load factor from 73.2% to 74.2% . RPKs grew 62.8% to 2,869mm, and revenue passengers grew 42.6% to 3.6mm.
Average fares decreased 5.2% from R$235 to R$223, principally due to our fare re-alignment in March 2005, reflecting our strategy of providing low fares. Yields declined 18.2% to 27.33 cents (R$) per passenger kilometer, due to lower fares and a 10.6% increase in average stage length.
Page 4 of 26
Complementing net operating revenues, cargo transportation activities primarily contributed to the expansion of other operating revenues, which increased from R$36.0mm to R$37.1mm.
The 60.7% year-over-year capacity expansion, represented by ASKs, facilitated the addition of 58 new daily flight frequencies (including 2 night flights) and two new destinations in 4Q05. The addition of a third average operating aircraft during the quarter (or from 37 to 40 aircraft) drove the ASK increase.
Operating revenue per available seat kilometer (RASK) decreased 18.3% to R$21.23 cents in 4Q05, from R$25.97 cents in 4Q04.
The growth in RPKs resulted in a higher domestic market share for GOL, reaching 30% in the end of 4Q05, compared to 24% in the end of 4Q04. Through its regular international flights to Buenos Aires, Argentina, and the launch of a second route, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, GOL achieved an international market share of 3% (share of Brazilian airline RPK) in the same period. Approximately 6% of GOLs total RPKs were related to international passenger traffic (Brazil-Buenos Aires and Brazil-Santa Cruz de la Sierra routes).
OPERATING EXPENSES |
Operating expenses per ASK decreased by 19.0%, excluding fuel, in the quarter. Total CASK decreased 8.7%, to 16.66 cents (R$), due to higher productivity, a longer average stage length, and a greater dilution of fixed costs over a higher number of ASKs, offset by increases in aircraft fuel expenses per ASK. Total operating expenses increased 46.9%, reaching R$645.2mm, due to high fuel prices and the expansion of our operations (fleet and employee expansion, a higher volume of landing fees and marketing activities). Fuel price increases during 4Q05 accounted for almost one-fourth of the R$116.2mm increase in fuel expenses. Breakeven load factor increased to 58.3% versus 51.4% in 4Q04.
Results from GOLs operating expense (jet fuel and USD-related) hedging programs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No 133), Accounting of Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Page 6 of 26
Salaries, wages and benefits expenses per available seat kilometer (ASK) decreased 28.4% to 2.14 cents, mainly due to a decrease of R$15.4mm in provisions for our employee profit sharing program (R$11.8mm in 4Q05, for a total of R$31.7mm for the full-year 2005, versus R$27.2mm in 4Q04 - 100% of 2004 profit sharing was provisioned in 4Q04). This was partially offset by a cost of living salary increase of 6% effected in December 2005 and a 65.2% increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees - from 3,303 to 5,456 - related to capacity expansion.
Aircraft fuel expenses per ASK increased 12.1% over 4Q04 to 6.74 cents (R$), due to higher fuel prices per liter. The 11% increase in average fuel cost per liter over 4Q04 was primarily due to the 24% increase in the international price for crude oil (WTI) (and a 42% increase in Gulf Coast jet fuel prices), partially offset by the 19.4% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. dollar. GOLs hedging program, in conjunction with its fuel efficient fleet and intelligent yield management, has helped to mitigate increases in jet fuel prices. The Company has hedged approximately 55% of its fuel requirements for 1Q06 at an average price of US$61 per barrel and 21% for 2Q-4Q06 at an average price of US$59 per barrel.
Aircraft rent per ASK decreased 18.5% to 1.67 cents (R$) in 4Q05, primarily due to a high aircraft utilization rate (14 block hours per day, which produced a 5.6% increase in ASKs/aircraft versus 4Q04), and a 19.4% appreciation of the Brazilian Real during the same period. GOLs high aircraft utilization rates are attributable to a standardized Boeing fleet, which reduces complexity and turnaround times, and allows both an increase in the number of daily flights per aircraft and a 24-hour per day utilization for over 25% of the fleet.
Aircraft insurance expenses per ASK decreased 32.3% due to the reduction in average premium rates, the 19.4% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar, and a higher aircraft utilization rate (5.6% increase in
ASKs/aircraft).
Sales and marketing expenses per ASK decreased 25.0% to 2.70 cents (R$) primarily due to reductions in incentives, an increase in ticket sales on the GOL website and higher aircraft utilization rates. GOL booked a majority of
its ticket sales through a combination of its website (86% during 4Q05) and its call center (9% during 4Q05). Marketing expenses totaled R$13mm during 4Q05, mainly due to an institutional advertising campaign and the opening of four new
destinations (Santa Cruz de la Sierra, São José do Rio Preto, Cordoba and Rosario).
Landing fees per ASK increased 9.1% to 0.72 cents (R$), due to a 44.0% increase in departures and a 26% scheduled increase in average landing and navigation tariffs, partially offset by increased average stage length.
Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses per ASK decreased 36.0% to 0.73 cents (R$), as a result of increased average stage length and a decrease in technology services.
Maintenance, materials and repairs per ASK decreased 17.7% to 0.65 cents (R$), primarily due to a 19.4% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. dollar. Main expenses during the quarter were related to the maintenance of three engines, in the amount of R$10.0mm, the use of spare parts inventory and repair of rotable materials, including write-offs for inventory obsolescence, in the amount of R$6.0mm.
Depreciation per ASK increased 7.4% to 0.29 cents (R$), due to higher volume of fixed assets, particularly spare parts inventory, and the increase of our technology equipment, due to our expansion of operations.
Page 7 of 26
Other operating expenses per ASK were 0.81 cents (R$), an 88.4% increase when compared to the same period of the previous year, due to increased lodging of flight crews, increased direct passenger expenses and interrupted flights.
COMMENTS ON EBITDA AND EBITDAR1 |
The impact of a 4.74 cent (R$) RASK decrease, partially compensated by a CASK decrease of 1.59 cents (R$), resulted in a reduction of EBITDA per available seat kilometer to 4.86 cents (R$) in 4Q05. Compared to 3Q05, EBITDA per ASK decreased 9.7% . EBITDA was affected by the 18.3% decrease in RASK, and totaled R$187.3mm in the period compared to R$192.4mm in 4Q04 (a 2.7% decrease) and R$191.8mm in 3Q05 (a 2.3% decrease).

Aircraft rent represents a significant operating expense for GOL. As GOL leases all of its aircraft, we believe that EBITDAR, equivalent to EBITDA before aircraft rent expenses (which are USD-denominated) is an important measure of relative operating performance. On a per available seat kilometer basis, EBITDAR was 6.53 cents (R$) in 4Q05, compared to 10.04 cents (R$) in 4Q04. EBITDAR amounted to R$251.8mm in 4Q05, compared to R$241.8mm in the same period last year and R$253.9mm in 3Q05.
FINANCIAL RESULTS |
Financial expenses increased R$15.7mm due to a higher amount of short-term working capital debt, related to increased operations, and a negative variation on dollar-denominated deposits (a non-cash effect). Financial income increased R$32.3mm, primarily due to a R$319.3mm increase in short term investments.

OUTLOOK |
GOL will continue to invest in its successful low-cost, low-fare business model. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our operations by adding new flights in Brazil, where sufficient market demand exists, and expanding into other high-traffic centers in South American countries. We expect to benefit from economies of scale and reduce our average non-fuel cost per available seat kilometer (CASK) as we add additional aircraft to a well-established and highly-efficient operating infrastructure. We anticipate a solid first quarter, thanks to the dedicated effort of our employees in improving productivity throughout the Company.
The scheduled addition of three new aircraft to our fleet in the first quarter of 2006 should allow a 50% increase in available seat capacity over the same period of 2005. For the first quarter we expect a load factor in the range of 70-72%, with yields in the range of R$26-28 cents. We expect a stable foreign exchange rate environment for the near term, supported by good economic fundamentals in the Brazilian economy. We expect that high oil prices will continue to impact our fuel costs, but will be partially mitigated by our hedging program. For the first quarter, we expect non-fuel CASK to be in the range of R$9-10 cents. GOL believes that continued growth of the Brazilian air travel market, in the range of 18-20% in 2006, will permit and absorption of GOLs planned 2006 capacity increases without adverse effects on the domestic market.
Guidance for 2006 is based on GOLs planned capacity expansion and the expected high demand for our passenger transportation services, driven by strong Brazilian economic fundamentals and GOLs demand-stimulating low fares. Our projections are for a 2006 full-year EPS in the range of R$3.90 to R$4.30, representing annual growth of over 50%. We expect an increase in full-year operating margins in the range of three to five points based on budgeted cost reductions. We plan to continue to popularize air travel in South America through expansion, technological innovation, improved operating efficiency, strict cost management, the lowest prices and high quality passenger service.
