- 1 / 23 -
Consolidated passenger yields increased 7.7% to R$19.43 cents (domestic yields increased 11.1% and international yields decreased 8.7% versus 2Q07). RASK increased 3.5% over 2Q07 to 13.72 cents (R$). Average fares were R$196. | |
The domestic market grew 1.9% over 1Q08, despite the fact that the second quarter is historically a weak period of demand (seasonally) for the industry, and 11.0% compared to 2Q07, 2.1 times the estimated Brazilian GDP growth. | |
GTA and VRG now offer over 740 daily flights to 59 different destinations in Brazil and South America, the most of any airline group. In 2Q08, GTA added 9 new daily flight frequencies and served 56 destinations. VRG added 21 new daily flight frequencies, serving 18 destinations. The Companys low- cost operating structure permits flights to medium-sized cities with lower traffic volumes, allowing GOL to serve various destinations outside of Brazils main economic centers. | |
In line with its fleet renewal plan, the Company received two 737-800 NG and removed seven 737- 300s and three 767-300 from the operating fleet during the quarter, resulting in a net reduction of five aircraft in the narrow body operating fleet. The Company plans to end 2008 with a consolidated fleet of 104 aircraft, comprised of 737-800 and 737-700 aircraft. | |
In June, GOL ranked second in sustainability consulting group Management & Excellence (M&E)s Latin American corporate governance study (The Best Governed Major Latin Corporations 2008)According to the study, conducted in partnership with LatinFinance magazine, GOL employs 90.2% of the required positive corporate governance practices included in the analysis, compared to an average score of 62.34% by the 50 companies included in the research. GOL was the only airline named in the report. | |
On June 26, CADE (Brazilian Antitrust Authority) approved GOLs acquisition of VRG (effected on April 9, 2007) with no restrictions. On July 30, GOL requested ANAC approval of a proposed organizational reorganization of its subsidiaries, GTA and VRG, merging them into one airline. Under the proposed reorganization, the airline will maintain the GOL and VARIG brands and respect all VRG and GTAs current rights and obligations. The reorganization will not affect GOLs public shareholders. | |
In 2Q08, VRG finalized interline agreements with Copa Airlines and American Airlines. Passengers traveling on these airlines are now able to purchase tickets for all routes served by VRG in Brazil and South America. | |
On August 6, the Companys Board of Directors approved the suspension of dividend payments for the remainder of the 2008 fiscal year, but guaranteed a minimum payment of 25% of the years consolidated net income. The Company ended the quarter with 26.5% of its shares floating in the market. GOLs shares presented average daily trading volumes of US$18.3mm (R$30.3mm) during 2Q08. |

MANAGEMENTS COMMENTS ON RESULTS |
The second quarter of 2008 was a challenging quarter for the air transportation industry. Fuel prices reached record levels faster than fares could be adjusted, especially in a quarter where we were facing ramp up of our new flight networks. Our costs were largely impacted by fuel prices, which caused a negative effect in our results and margins. While crude oil prices in the international market (represented by WTI) increased 90.6% versus 2Q07, the Companys consolidated yields increased 7.7% in the same period. Due to seasonality, increased competition in the sector and significant promotional activities during the quarter, consolidated yields decreased 11.4% versus 1Q08. Demand for air travel in Brazil remained strong in the second quarter of 2008. Domestic RPKs grew at a rate of 11.0% in 2Q08, 2.1 times Brazils estimated GDP growth. Our capacity to serve that growth grew 23% during the quarter due to the addition of 24 aircraft since 2Q07. In the domestic market, our installed capacity to provide air travel grew by 22.8% . Passengers transported in 2Q08 increased 14% over 2Q07. The 2Q08 consolidated load factor was 65%, a decrease of 1.4 percentage points from 2Q07. The Company will continue to invest resources in the future and growth of the Brazilian air transportation system.
During the second quarter of 2008 we consolidated the GTA and VRG flight networks, as announced on March 24. We achieved positive results through these network changes, with domestic load factors above 67% during the quarter, representing a more than 20 percentage point increase for VRG. Completion and punctuality returned to optimized standard levels, reaching 96% and 97% respectively, during the quarter (based on internal data).
Consolidated operating costs per ASK excluding fuel increased 12.1% to 9.66 cents (R$) year-over-year, primarily due to a 9.2% reduction in aircraft utilization, caused by recent ANAC regulations that established minimum ground time between landing and take-off in all of Brazils airports and non-recurring expenses related to the closing of the long-haul destinations and aircraft maintenance services related to returning aircraft. Consolidated fuel costs per available seat kilometer (ASK) increased 20.3% year-over-year. Due to higher fuel prices, lower aircraft utilization in the second quarter and extraordinary expenses related to aircraft returns, total consolidated operating cost per seat kilometer (CASK) increased 15.4% to 16.53 cents (R$). The Company continues to rationalize VRGs costs to GOLs standards, modernizing and standardizing the fleet and focusing operations on markets where we maintain a competitive advantage. VRGs CASK in 2Q08 was R$17.0 cents (versus R$16.3 cents in GTA).
On June 26, we received CADE (Brazilian Antitrust Authority) approval of the VRG acquisition. On July 30, the Company requested ANAC approval of a proposed organizational reorganization of its subsidiaries, GTA and VRG, merging them into one airline. The proposed reorganization, which aims to improve GOLs operating structure, will provide more efficient air transportation services through the integration of GTA and VRGs operations, eliminating network redundancies, exploring synergies and offering better market segmentation. Additionally, integrating GTA and VRGs operations will allow the Company to optimize revenues and maximize operational, financial and ancillary revenue capabilities, while also reducing financial and operation costs. Under the proposed reorganization, the Company will maintain the GOL and VARIG brands and respect all VRG and GTAs current rights and obligations. The reorganization will not affect GOLs public shareholders.
GOL remains committed to its strategy of profitable expansion based on a low-cost structure and quality customer service. The Company is taking the necessary steps to set the stage for the next phase of growth, in line with our strategy of profitable expansion through our low-cost structure said Constantino de Oliveira Junior, GOLs president and CEO. We are very proud that over 91 million passengers have chosen to fly with us and we will continue to make every effort to offer our customers the best in air travel: new and modern aircraft, frequent flights in all major markets, an expanding integrated route system and the lowest fares, stated de Oliveira.

REVENUES |
Net operating revenues, principally revenues from passenger transportation, increased 27.2% to R$1.5bn, due to a 20.1% increase in RPKs, combined with a 7.7% increase in yields, partially offset by a 1.4pp decrease in load factors. GOLs consolidated RPK growth was driven by an 11.7% increase in departures. Consolidated RPKs grew 20.1% to 6,897mm and revenue passengers grew 14.3% to 7.1mm.
Consolidated yields increased 7.7% to 19.43 cents (R$) per passenger kilometer, mainly due to an increase of 16.7% in average fares from R$168 to R$196. Consolidated operating revenues per ASK (RASK) increased 3.5% to R$13.72 cents in 2Q08, compared to R$13.25 cents in 2Q07.
GTAs yields were R$21.6 cents, a 20.3% increase versus 2Q07; GTAs RASK increased 16.5% to R$15.6 cents. VRGs yields were R$13.1 cents; VRGs RASK was R$9.0 cents.
The 22.8% year-over-year capacity expansion, measured by ASKs, facilitated the addition of nine new daily flight frequencies for GTA in 2Q08 and 21 daily frequencies for VRG. The addition of 21.9 average operating aircraft compared to 2Q07 (from 87.4 to 109.3 average aircraft) drove the ASK increase.
GTAs domestic market share averaged 38% and VRGs averaged 8% during the quarter. Through regular international flights, GTA achieved international market share of 9% (share of Brazilian airlines flying to international destinations) in the same period; VRGs international market share was 17%. 21.2% of consolidated RPKs were related to international passenger traffic in 2Q08.
GOLs cargo transportation activities (Gollog) are responsible for a majority of other operating revenues, reporting 2Q08 revenue of R$124.8mm.
OPERATING EXPENSES |
Total consolidated CASK increased 15.4% to 16.53 cents (R$), due to a 28.7% increase in fuel price per liter, reduced aircraft utilization, and increased maintenance costs related to aircraft returns, salaries, wages and benefits expenses, materials and repairs, sales and marketing, and depreciation. Consolidated CASK was partially offset by aircraft and traffic servicing and aircraft rent per ASK. Operating expenses per ASK excluding fuel increased by 12.1% to 9.66 cents (R$). Total operating expenses increased 41.7%, reaching R$1,764.0mm, mainly due to higher fuel expenses, increased air traffic servicing expenses and the expansion of the Companys operations (fleet and employee expansion as well as a higher volume of landing fees). The R$237.4mm increase in fuel expenses in 2Q08 over 2Q07 was due to increased fuel consumption and a 44.3% increase in fuel price per liter. Consolidated breakeven load factor increased 5.7 percentage points to 77.8% versus 72.1% in 2Q07.
Results from GOLs operating expense (jet fuel price and USD exchange rate) hedging programs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 133), Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

Aircraft fuel expenses per ASK increased 20.3% over 2Q07 to 6.87 cents (R$), mainly due to increased fuel price per liter year-over-year. The 28.7% increase in average fuel price per liter over 2Q08 was primarily due to an increase of 90.6% in crude oil (WTI) prices and a 77.8% increase in Gulf Coast jet fuel (a factor influencing the determination of Brazilian jet fuel prices) partially offset by a 16.7% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar and results of our fuel hedging program, that generated gains of R$35.8mm in the quarter. The Company hedged approximately 42% of its fuel requirements for 2Q08 at US$95.6 per barrel. The Company has hedged approximately 55% and 26% of its 3Q08 and 4Q08 fuel requirements, respectively.
Salaries, wages and benefits expenses per available seat kilometer (ASK) increased 12.2% to 2.30 cents (R$) in 2Q08, primarily due to an increase in sales incentives and lower aircraft utilization (1.3 less block hours per day), a 5% cost of living increase on salaries effected in December 2007 and a 24.4% increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees to 16,567 -- related to internalization of call center employees effected in 2007.
- 6 / 23 -
Aircraft rent per ASK decreased 8.3% to 1.44 cents (R$) in 2Q08, primarily due to a 16.7% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by a lower consolidated aircraft utilization rate, caused by recent ANAC regulations that established minimum ground time between landing and take-off at all of Brazils airports.
Sales and marketing expenses per ASK increased 16.2% to 1.15 cents (R$) due to an increase in sales incentive and lower aircraft utilization. During the quarter, GTA booked a majority of its tickets through a combination of its website (78.5%) and its call center (7.6%), while VRG booked 85.3% of its tickets through its global distribution system (GDS) and call-center and 14.7% through its website.
Landing fees per ASK increased 8.6% to 0.88 cents (R$), mainly due to the increase in parking fees at São Paulos Congonhas airport and a decrease in VRGs average stage length as a result of closing intercontinental destinations.
Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses per ASK decreased 10.4% to 1.03 cents (R$), mainly due to a reduction in handling expenses caused by a decrease in landings at international airports during the quarter.
Maintenance, materials and repairs per ASK increased 14.8% to 1.01 cents (R$), primarily due to a 16.7% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar. Main expenses during the quarter were related to the scheduled maintenance of 22 aircraft in the amount of R$84.5mm (including extraordinary expenses with maintenance services of returned aircraft, related to the closing of VRGs intercontinental destinations), the use of spare parts inventory in the amount of R$12.5mm and the repair of rotable materials in the amount of R$11.3mm.
Depreciation per ASK increased 52.9% to 0.52 cents (R$), due to a higher amount of fixed assets (mainly spare parts inventory) and increased depreciation related to 16 new 737-800 NG aircraft which were added to the fleet between 4Q06 and 2Q08 and 12 aircraft (eight 737 NGs and six 767s) classified as capital leases, partially offset by the dilution of expenses over a higher number of ASKs.
Other operating expenses per ASK were 1.33 cents (R$), a 60.2% increase when compared to the same period of the previous year, due to an increase in insurance expenses, costs related to closing international bases, expenses related to cancelled flights and crew lodging expenses. Insurance expenses, at 0.13 cents (R$) per ASK (R$13.8mm total), increased 8.3% over 2Q07, due to a reduction in aircraft utilization.

COMMENTS ON EBITDA AND EBITDAR1 |
A 2.20 cents (R$) increase in CASK, partially offset by a 0.47 cent (R$) increase in RASK resulted in a decrease in EBITDA per available seat kilometer decrease to -2.29 cents (R$) in 2Q08. EBITDA totaled -R$243.8mm in the period, compared to -R$63.9mm in 2Q07 and R$35.1mm in 1Q08.

Aircraft rent represents a significant operating expense for the Company. As the Company today leases most of its aircraft, we believe that EBITDAR, equivalent to EBITDA before aircraft rent expenses (which are USD-denominated) is a useful measure of relative operating performance for users of our financial statements. On a per-ASK basis, EBITDAR was -0.85 cents (R$) in 2Q08, compared to 0.83 cents (R$) in 2Q07. EBITDAR amounted to -R$90.4mm in 2Q08, compared to R$72.2mm in the same period last year and R$184.8mm in 1Q08.
1EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent) are non-USGAAP measures and are presented as supplemental information because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance for our investors. We usually present EBITDAR, in addition to EBITDA, because aircraft leasing represents a significant operating expense of our business, and we believe the impact of this expense should be considered in addition to the impact of depreciation and amortization. However, neither figure should be considered in isolation, as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with US GAAP, BR GAAP or as a measure of a companys profitability. In addition, our calculations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

FINANCIAL RESULTS |
Net financial income totaled R$70.3mm in 2Q08. Interest expense decreased R$5.6mm year-over-year primarily due to a decrease in total debt. Interest income, including R$87.4mm of positive exchange variation, increased R$29.2mm due to a 0.9 percentage point reduction in average Brazilian interest rates (as measured by the CDI rate), partially offset by a lower balance of cash and cash equivalents versus 2Q07.

FLEET PLAN |
In order to continue its fleet renewal and modernization strategy in accordance with its disciplined growth plan, the Company has reviewed and adjusted its fleet plan to better adapt to recent fuel price increases, higher competition in the air transportation industry and accelerate its fleet renewal program (announced in December 2007), while also improving its low-cost structure. In addition to operational changes to reduce fuel consumption, such as reducing cruise flight speed by a few kilometers per hour and shutting down one engine after landing, the Company is also reducing its capacity growth.
The Company is in the final phases of its plan to replace 737-300 and 767-300 aircraft with 737-700s and 737-800s for operations on short- and medium-haul routes. These aircraft have lower operational costs, are more fuel efficient, and will reduce the fleets average age. The 737-700 NG aircraft provide us with more flexibility to operate in airports with operating restrictions and to offer more direct flights to medium-sized cities with lower traffic volumes. The 737 NGs are also equipped with winglets, a technology that improves aircraft performance during takeoff, allows longer non-stop flights and reduces fuel costs by more than three percent per year. All Boeing 737 model aircraft adhere to international safety rules and are certified by U.S. and Brazilian authorities for takeoffs and landings on short runways.
During 3Q08, our fleet modernization program will replace 13 older aircraft with 13 new Next Generation models, representing a sequential decrease in total available seat capacity by approximately 5% over 2Q08 (13% over GOLs reported capacity in 3Q07).
The Company has reduced its fleet plan by four leased 737-800 in 2008. For 2009, the fleet plan was reduced by five leased 737-800s. The fleet modernization plan guarantees that GOLs fleet will maintain its status as one of the youngest and most modern in the world. By the end of 2008, it is expected that the fleet will be comprised entirely of Boeing 737 NGs, reducing the average age of the fleet to 5.6 years. At the end of 2012, 65% of the fleet will be comprised of 737-800 SFP aircraft, reducing the average age to 5.5 years. The table below details the revised fleet plan through 2012:

OUTLOOK |
GOL continues to invest in its successful low-cost business model. We will continue to evaluate opportunities to expand operations by adding new flights in Brazil, as well as expanding to other high-traffic centers in South America. Although we have an extremely flexible fleet plan that allows us to manage our capacity growth versus market growth, we expect to benefit from economies of scale as we continue to renew and standardize our fleet and further improve and integrate our highly efficient operating network. We expect to reduce our non-fuel cost per available seat-kilometer (CASK) over time as we continue to reduce the age of our fleet, benefit from the cost savings associated with our aircraft maintenance center and improve upon our cost-efficient distribution channels. Through the VARIG brand, we provide an attractive service offering to business travelers in the domestic market and international destinations in South America. We expect to grow revenues from our Gollog cargo transportation business, our Smiles loyalty program and other ancillary revenues, such as the Voe Fácil installment payment program.
The air passenger transportation market in Brazil remains under-penetrated and increasing the number of available seats at low fares is important for the continued development of the sector and the economy. In 3Q08 our fleet modernization program will replace 13 older aircraft with 13 new Next Generation models (no net effect in our consolidated fleet) and will sequentially decrease total available seat capacity by approximately 10% over 2Q08 (-5% in the domestic market and -30% the international market).
For the third quarter of 2008, reflecting reported fare increases, we expect consolidated load factors in the range of 60% with consolidated passenger yields in the range of R$26 cents. For the third quarter, we expect consolidated non-fuel CASK to be in the range of R$9.4 cents (-5% versus 2Q08) as we still expect to incur costs related to aircraft returns. During 3Q08 we will finalize the closing of VRGs intercontinental destinations by shutting down the Paris base. We expect that the incorporation of larger, more fuel-efficient aircraft and our hedging program will partially offset increases in fuel prices. We forecast a stable foreign exchange rate environment for the near term, supported by good economic fundamentals in the Brazilian economy.
Beginning in July, GOL will employ several new measures to offset fuel cost increases. On the cost side, we expect our fleet renewal plan to have a positive effect on fuel consumption and maintenance expenses, as new aircraft will reduce the average age of the total fleet. We also expect to save fuel by adding winglets to the fleet, reducing cruise flight speed and shutting down one engine after landing. On the non-fuel cost side, we expect to reduce distribution costs by increasing sales through the Internet. We are taking all possible measures to lower costs and reduce fuel consumption to offset the recent increase in fuel prices, stated Constantino de Oliveira, GOLs president and CEO.
We recently reviewed and adjusted our fleet plan to reduce capacity growth, to better adapt to recent fuel price increases, address higher competition in the air transportation industry and accelerate our fleet renewal program (announced in December 2007), while also improving our low-cost structure. By the end of 2008, our fleet will be comprised of Boeing 737 Next Generation (NG) aircraft. Revising our fleet plan was in line with our goal to operate one of the youngest and most modern fleet of aircraft in Latin America. We are constantly working to maintain the lowest operating costs in the market, which allow us to offer the lowest fares and continuously stimulate demand, said de Oliveira. The 737 NG aircraft have lower operational costs, are more fuel efficient, and offer high productivity rates.
By the end of 3Q08, the Company plans to add 13 737NGs to the total fleet and return a total of seven 737-Classics plus six 767s. The fleet modernization and renewal plan will reduce the fleets average age to 5.6 years (at the end of 2008) and reduce fuel consumption and maintenance expenses while also improving productivity. Our extremely flexible fleet plan allows us to manage capacity to keep pace with market growth in an environment with higher fares, added de Oliveira.
- 12 / 23 -
We expect ancillary revenues to increase, particularly revenue from cargo transportation. We also forecast increased yields by ending operations on long-haul routes and increasing regular fares. We will continue to develop interline and code-share agreements with strategic partners to increase load factors without incurring distribution costs. On the capacity side, we have the flexibility to reduce our ASK generation by returning leased aircraft if demand growth is impacted by higher fares. We are facing new dynamics in the aviation industry and are well-suited to compete, added de Oliveira. We are counting on the strength and commitment of our Team of Eagles to help the Company fly through this challenging environment, but fully expect to emerge as a stronger and more competitive airline, providing our customers with a higher quality of service.
For the full year 2008, we have adjusted our fuel, capacity and currency assumptions. The Companys full-year general guidance is presented below. These indicators are useful for analysts and investors who project GOLs results.
