Report on the review of interim financial information  

The Shareholders, Board of Directors and Officers

Azul S.A.

Barueri - SP

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the interim individual and consolidated financial information of Azul S.A. (the “Company”) contained in the Quarterly Information Form - ITR form as of June 30, 2023, which comprise the statement of financial position on June 30, 2023, the statements of profit or loss and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and six-month periods then ended and the statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the six-month period then ended, including explanatory notes.

 

Management is responsible for the preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with the NBC TG 21 - Interim Financial Reporting and the international standard IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the presentation of this information in accordance with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR). Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review.

 

Scope of review

 

We conducted our review in accordance with the Brazilian and international standards on review engagements (NBC TR 2410 and ISRE 2410 - Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, respectively). A review of interim financial information consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

 

Conclusion on the individual and consolidated interim financial information

 

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above was not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the NBC TG 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information (ITR), and presented consistently with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

Other matters

 

Statements of value added

 

The quarterly information referred to above includes the individual and consolidated statements of value added (DVA) for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023, prepared under the responsibility of the Company management and presented as supplementary information under IAS 34. These statements have been subject to review procedures performed in conjunction with the review of the quarterly information, in order to determine whether they are reconciled with the interim financial information and accounting records, as applicable, and whether their form and content are in accordance with the criteria defined in NBC TG 09 - Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that these statements of value added were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the criteria set forth by this Standard and consistently with the individual and consolidated interim financial information taken as a whole.

1.2Capital structure and net working capital

 

The Company's Management, together with the Board of Directors, constantly monitors the Company's liquidity position and cash projections as well as any factors that may affect the ability to generate revenue and the Company's ability to honor the financial commitments assumed.

 

The variation in consolidated net working capital and equity is presented below:

 

Description   June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 Variation
         
Net working capital    (12,194,700)  (10,184,169) (2,010,531)
Equity    (19,682,000)  (19,007,500)  (674,500)

 

The variation in the balance of net working capital is mainly due to:

 

·decrease of R$52,138 in cash and cash equivalents, result (i) of payments of R$2,267,544 related to loans, financing, leases and reverse factoring (ii) offset by funding payments related to the investment activities of R$902,252 and (iii) by operating cash generation of R$1,636,423;

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, unless otherwise indicated)

   
·increase in accounts payable and airport fees result of payment term extension in the amount of R$839,962; and.

 

·transfers from non-current to current, mainly in the account “Loans and financing”, “Leases” and “Provision for return of aircraft and engines”.

 

The increase in the negative position of shareholders' equity is mainly due to the financial result of the Company, which exceeds the operating profit by R$712,732.

 

Since the beginning of 2023, the Company's Management has been carrying out a process of restructuring its debts, and by the date of publication of this quarterly information, the following renegotiations were finalized:

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, unless otherwise indicated)

   

On July 20, 2023, the Company, through its subsidiary Azul Secured, finalized a private offering of senior debt securities with priority guarantee, maturing in 2028, with a coupon of 11.9% p.a. in the amount of US$800 million ("Notes"). The accrued interest will be paid quarterly, starting November 28, 2023.

 

Liquid proceeds will be used to pay certain debts, obligations and other corporate purposes.

 

The accounting impacts to be recorded in a subsequent period arising from such operations are presented below:

 

Description         Values
Banks         3,715,850
Senior notes - 2028         3,831,040
Funding costs to be appropriated (*)        (115,190)

 

(*) Includes funding costs captured up to July 31, 2023.

 

The Company's Management has been restructuring debts the Company’s as per note 36.

 

Management performed too an evaluation and concluded that the Company is able to continue as a going concern and meet its obligations as they fall due. This evaluation is based on the Company's business plan approved by the Board of Directors on December 8, 2022. The business plan includes future actions, macroeconomic and aviation sector assumptions, such as: recovery in demand for air transport, estimates of exchange rates and fuel prices. The Company's Management monitors and informs the Board of Directors about the performance achieved in relation to the approved plan.

 

Based on this conclusion, these interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the principle of going concern.

 

1.3Seasonality

 

The Company’s operating revenues depend substantially on the general volume of passenger and cargo traffic, which is subject to seasonal changes. Our passenger revenues are generally higher during the summer and winter holidays, in January and July respectively, and in the last two weeks of December, which corresponds to the holiday season. Considering the distribution of fixed costs, this seasonality tends to cause variations in operating results between the quarters of the fiscal year. It should be noted that the COVID-19 pandemic impacted the behavior related to the frequency of travels of the Company’s customers, in the first quarter of 2022, thus impacting the accumulated result for 6 months presented for comparative purposes.

2.DECLARATION OF MANAGEMENT, BASIS OF PREPARATION AND PRESENTATION OF THE INTERIM CONDENSED INDIVIDUAL AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

The Company’s interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting practices adopted in Brazil and the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting practices adopted in Brazil include those included in the Brazilian corporation law and the technical pronouncements, guidelines and interpretations issued by the Accounting Pronouncements Committee (“CPC”), approved by the Federal Accounting Council (“CFC”) and the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (“CVM”).

 

The Company’s interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on the real (“R$”) as a functional and presentation currency and are expressed in thousands of reais, unless otherwise indicated.

 

The preparation of the Company's interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements requires Management to make judgments, use estimates and adopt assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. However, the uncertainty related to these judgments, assumptions and estimates can lead to results that require a significant adjustment to the carrying amount of certain assets and liabilities in future years.

 

The Company reviews its judgments, estimates, and assumptions on an ongoing basis. When preparing these interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements, Management used the following disclosure criteria to understand the changes observed in the Company's equity, economic and financial position and in its performance, since the end of the last fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, disclosed on March 6, 2023: (i) regulatory requirements; (ii) relevance and specificity of the information on the Company's operations to users; (iii) informational needs of users of the interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements; and (iv) information from other entities participating in the passenger air transport market.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no impacts related to changes in accounting estimates and/or provisions that were not described in these interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements.

 

Management confirms that all relevant information specific to the interim condensed individual and consolidated financial statements, is presented and corresponds to that used by Management when carrying out its business management activities.

 

In order to ensure a better presentation and comparability of balances, some reclassifications were carried out in the statement of cash flows for the previous year.

In Brazil, credit card receivables are not exposed to credit risk of the cardholder. The balances can easily be converted into cash, when necessary, by discounting of these receivables with credit card companies.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company discounted accounts receivable of R$6,020,621 from accounts receivable from credit card companies, with no right of recourse.

 

As of June 30, 2023, the balance of accounts receivable are net of R$2,896,160 due to such anticipations (R$1,735,432 on December 31, 2022).

 

The breakdown of accounts receivable by maturity, net of allowance for expected losses, is as follows:

  Consolidated
Description June 30, 2023 December 31, 2022
     
Not past due  1,168,442 1,644,019
Over 1 to 90 days 69,907  68,631
Over 90 days 112,839  91,348
     
Total  1,351,188 1,803,998

 

Until July 31, 2023, out of the total amount past due within 90 days, R$23,290 had already been received.

(In thousands of Brazilian reais – R$, unless otherwise indicated)

   

Of the receivables past due for more than 90 days, approximately R$83,345 refer to receivables for lessor arranged under the headings of “reimbursement receivable for maintenance reserves” and “others” in foreign currency, and Management does not expect to incur losses on such operations as it has obligations to pay for them. The Company is negotiating to recover these amounts or offset them against lease obligations. Therefore, we conclude that the allowance for expected credit losses is adequately estimated.

 

The movement of the allowance for expected losses is as follows:

(a)This refers to the participation in the value of the Company's total equity, calculated as if all 928,965,058 common shares had been converted into 12,386,201 preferred shares at the conversion ratio of 75 common shares for each preferred share.

 

(b)This refers to the participation in the value of the Company's total equity, calculated as if the weighted average of preferred shares had been converted into common shares at the conversion ratio of 75 common shares for each one preferred share.

 

Diluted earnings (loss) per share are calculated by adjusting the weighted average number of shares outstanding by instruments potentially convertible into shares. However, due to the loss reported in six months ended June 30, 2023, these instruments issued by the company have a antidilutive effect and therefore were not considered in the total number of shares outstanding to determine the diluted loss per share.

34.RISK MANAGEMENT

 

34.1Accounting classification and fair value hierarchy of financial instruments

 

The following hierarchy is used to determine the fair value of financial instruments:

 

Level 1: quoted prices, without adjustment, in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;

 

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs that have a significant effect on the fair value recorded are directly or indirectly observable; and

 

Level 3: techniques that use data that have a significant effect on the fair value recorded that are not based on observable market data.

 

The accounting classifications and the fair value hierarchy of the Company's consolidated financial instruments are shown below:

34.2.1.1  Sensitivity analysis

 

As of June 30, 2023, the Company held financial assets and liabilities linked to various types of rates. In the sensitivity analysis of non-derivative financial instruments, the impact on annual interest was only considered on positions with values exposed to such fluctuations:

34.2.2   Fuel price risk (“QAV”)

 

The price of fuel may vary depending on the volatility of the price of crude oil and its derivatives. To mitigate losses linked to variations in the fuel market, the Company had, as of June 30, 2023, forward and options transactions on fuel (note 23).

 

34.2.2.1  Sensitivity analysis

 

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity analysis in US dollars of the price fluctuation of QAV liter:

34.3Credit risk

 

Credit risk is inherent to the Company's operating and financial activities, mainly disclosed in cash and cash equivalents, long-term investments, accounts receivable, aircraft sublease, security deposits and maintenance reserves. Financial assets classified as cash and cash equivalents and long-term investments are deposited with counterparties that have a minimum investment grade rating in the assessment made by agencies S&P Global Ratings, Moody's or Fitch (between AAA and A+). The TAP Bond is guaranteed by intellectual property rights and credits related to the TAP mileage program.

 

Credit limits are established for all customers based on internal classification criteria and the carrying amounts represent the maximum credit risk exposure. Outstanding receivables from customers are frequently monitored by the Company and, when necessary, allowances for expected credit losses are recognized.

 

Derivative financial instruments are contracted on the over-the-counter market (OTC) from counterparties with a minimum investment grade rating, or on commodities and futures exchanges (B3 and NYMEX), which substantially mitigates the credit risk. The Company assesses the risks of counterparties in financial instruments and diversifies its exposure periodically.

 

34.4Liquidity risk

 

The maturity schedules of the Company’s consolidated financial liabilities as of June 30, 2023 are as follows:

 

  Consolidated
Description Carrying amount Contractual cash flow Until 1 year From 2 to 5 years After 5 years
           
Loans and financing  7,094,065  8,268,628  2,113,752  6,154,876

The above balances do not reflect the renegotiations signed after June 30, 2023 – see note 36.

 

34.5Capital management

 

The Company seeks capital alternatives in order to satisfy its operational needs, aiming at a capital structure that it considers adequate for the financial costs and the maturity dates of funding and its guarantees. The Company's continuously monitors its net indebtedness, see note 1.2 with details of the Company's actions in the six months.
