Comments on the Performance

 

GOL maintained its virtuous cycle in 3Q23 with a 5% growth in its supply (ASK) and an increase in unit revenues year-over-year. Combined with increased productivity and ancillary revenues contribution, the Company achieved a record-breaking revenue for the 3Q with a sustainable EBITDA margin.

“Our third-quarter net revenue increased 16.4% year-over-year, as GOL experienced a strong and steady domestic demand environment. Our operational fleet utilization remained high at 11.3 hours per day, and we saw strength in our forward bookings with our quarterly sales volume reaching R$5.4 billion. We believe that our discipline to maintain the lowest unit costs in the industry and our Team’s commitment to offering the best experience to Customers will reinforce GOL’s already consolidated competitive position in the market,” added Celso Ferrer.

Continuous Net Revenue Growth

The 16.4% increase in net revenue was driven by a balanced combination of increased capacity and higher yields, as well as the strengthening of leisure demand for air travel in Brazil and a gradual recovery in the corporate market, which saw an 17.3% increase compared to the previous quarter.

During the quarter, the Company focused on several strategic initiatives, including entering new regional markets, enhancing its digital channels to achieve a new level of 72% in self-service capabilities, and continuous growth of its cargo (Gollog) and loyalty (Smiles) business units. These combined efforts contributed to a 10.7% increase in RASK, with a 4.5% boost in yields and a significant 65.1% rise in ancillary revenues year-over-year.

“We continue to show quarterly growth compared to last year, both in total revenue and in unit revenue. The trend and consistency that our numbers have shown each quarter, with a steady recovery in demand, are indicators that we are harvesting results based on our strategy. We remain focused on delivering the best experience to our customers through our product and our Team of Eagles”, said Carla Fonseca, Vice President of Customer Experience, Marketing, Sales Channels and President of Smiles.

Additional Revenues Streams as Drivers of RASK Growth

Smiles Viagens, our tourism operator launched in 2Q23, maintained its pace of expansion during this quarter focusing on offering a unique experience for its members. With products such as airline tickets, hotels, car rental, tickets, transfers and more than 8000 activities throughout Brazil and the world, Smiles Viagens has been expanding its portfolio of products and partnerships, highlighting direct negotiations with hotels that already there are more than 800 in addition to important brokers in the Brazilian and international segment.

Gollog, the cargo transportation business unit, more than doubled its revenue year-over-year, reaching R$257 million in 3Q23. The Company added a fifth Boeing 737 freighter aircraft to its fleet, as part of the exclusivity agreement with Mercado Livre. The cargo transportation contract with Mercado Livre is for six cargo aircraft year end, with the possibility of further expansion to a total fleet of 12 cargo aircraft in the upcoming years.

Smiles expanded its customer base by more than 8% year-over-year, reaching 22.1 million customers in 3Q23. This demonstrates the high value opportunity that is being captured after the incorporation of Smiles by GOL in 2021.

“The combined revenue from Gollog and Smiles already represent 30% of the third quarter Company’s total revenue generation and the growth rate remained high in 65.1%. Since the integration of Smiles, synergies continue to be captured at an accelerated pace. Smiles has nearly doubled its turnover compared to the pre-pandemic period. Now, with the activities of Smiles Viagens, we see additional revenue potential to be captured that will further contribute to the sustained expansion of our ancillary revenues,” added Carla Fonseca.

Fleet Update

The Company has been impacted by delays and uncertainty in the delivery schedule of new Boeing 737-MAX 8 aircraft from its manufacturer. From the total of 15 new aircraft expected to be delivered this year, GOL added in this quarter, one new Boeing 737-MAX 8 aircraft to its fleet as well as its fifth Boeing 737-800BCF aircraft, as part of the exclusive agreement with Mercado Livre for cargo transportation. In line with its fleet renewal plan and to recover operational efficiency, the Company returned four Boeing 737-NG aircraft.

As of September 30, 2023, GOL had a total fleet of 141 Boeing aircraft including 39 737-MAX, 97 737-NG and five 737-800BCF freighters.

As of September 30, 2023, GOL had 106 firm orders for the acquisition of Boeing 737-MAX aircraft, 69 of which were for the 737-MAX 8 model and 37 for the 737-MAX 10 model.

Capacity Management and Productivity Increase

GOL maintains its focus on the optimization of its operational capacity through the expansion of new bases with sustainable demand, particularly in regional markets. Although impacted by the lower dilution of fixed costs due to delays in receiving new aircraft, which has caused the Company to reduce its growth for this year, the Company’s expanded its capacity (ASKs) by approximately 5% in the third quarter while improving load factor to 83.7%, a 2.4 p.p. year-over-year increase. CASK decreased by 8.0% while CASK for passenger operations decreased by 9.5% in comparison to 3Q22.

The operational aircraft utilization remained high, at 11.3 hours per day, corroborating GOL’s focus on improving its productivity indicators and reducing its unit cost, to remain the lowest-cost benchmark in the region. In the international market, the Company continued to increase its capacity (5.0% compared to 3Q22), reaching approximately 52% of its total capacity in the third quarter of 2019.

Network Update

GOL expanded the total number of flights by 13% year-over-year largely due to the reconfiguration of its network and the introduction of operations in regional markets. Cities such as Araçatuba (São Paulo) and Uberaba (Minas Gerais) are now being served by Boeing 737 aircraft, providing connections to various national destinations, including Rio de Janeiro, Salvador, Curitiba, and Brasília.

In the international market, the Company continues to grow. International ASKs grew 5.0% year-over-year, reaching approximately 52% of the same period in 2019.

“These positive results observed in the third quarter reflect the consistent and resilient management combined by a domestic market demand growing, that permitted to achieve the best August ever according to ANAC (8.2 million passengers transported in Brazil), and GOL’s disciplined process of resuming supply with high productivity and operational efficiency. These strong results were supported by our initiatives and continued strategic investments in recent months,” concluded Celso Ferrer.

Liability Management Initiatives

This quarter, the Company completed the refinancing of debentures of GOL Linhas Aéreas S.A. (GLA), resulting in the amortization of approximately R$100 million in September 2023, with the R$900 million balance to be repaid over 30 monthly installments starting January 2024. This extends the maturity date of the debentures until June 2026. This liability management initiative enhances GOL’s ability to maintain its financial discipline and extend the debt profile.

As of September 29, 2023, the Company concluded the conversion of US$1.2 billion in Senior Secured Notes (SSNs) with maturity date in 2028 issued by GOL Finance and held by Abra Global Finance, into US$1.2 billion in Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes (ESSNs) issued by GOL Equity Finance and maturing in 2028. ESSNs are an instrument convertible into shares and in this context, a total of 992 million warrants were issued by the Company, which can be subject to a future conversion into shares at the exercise price of R$5.82 per share, which would result in the reduction of R$5.9 billion in GOL's total debt.

Due to this conversion, and in compliance with international accounting standards (IFRS 9 – financial instruments), which requires that debt instruments with convertibility characteristics have design segregation between the fair value of the debt financial liability and the instrument derivative option to convert bonds into shares, a total of R$3.4 billion was calculated relating to the fair value portion of the option and recognized as a long-term liability for derivative operations with a counterpart in equity.

“Strengthening our balance sheet continues to be a top priority. Our fundamentals continue to improve as the reduction in our leverage from 9.5x at the end of last year to 4.0x on September 30, 2023 highlights. We remain focused on the execution of several initiatives to strengthen our balance sheet to sustain the Company’s operational performance”, said Mario Liao, CFO.

GOL and Air France-KLM Commercial Agreement

In October, the company renewed its exclusive commercial agreement with AirFrance-KLM for another ten years, including certain commercial conditions that bring value to GOL and AFKL. The renewal of the commercial agreement will provide better connectivity to more than 125 destinations covered in Europe and Brazil. Customers will benefit from an optimized network between Europe and Brazil, spanning over 80 European destinations, 45 destinations in Brazil, and in the future, new destinations across Latin America. The agreement includes expanded code-sharing, enhanced joint sales activities, and more benefits for customers via Air France-KLM’s Flying Blue and GOL’s SMILES frequent flyer programs and includes an expansion of the existing maintenance support by Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance (AFIKLME&M) to GOL’s CFM56 and LEAP engines.

ESG Developments

The Company has concluded and published its Stakeholder Relationship Policy to further advance its ESG strategies, and open space for the creation of initiatives and projects aimed at all GOL’s Stakeholders.

In September, the Company launched the Green Aircraft initiative in partnership with “Eu Reciclo” to further promote and maintain active its voluntary carbon compensation strategy via the “#MeuVooCompensa” program (joint project with MOSS Earth). The Green Aircraft initiative aims to recycle twice the amount of waste generated from in-flight service and provides for the compensation of 1,000 tons of material in one year.

Independent auditor’s review report on quarterly information

 

To the

Management and Shareholders of

Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A.

 

Introduction

 

We have reviewed the accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information, contained in the Quarterly Information Form (ITR) of Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes S.A. (the Company) for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, comprising the statement of financial position as of September 30, 2023 and the related statements of profit or loss and of comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine-month periods then ended, and of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine-month period then ended, including the explanatory notes.

 

Management is responsible for preparation of the individual and consolidated interim financial information in accordance with Accounting Pronouncement NBC TG 21 – Interim Financial Reporting, and IAS 34 – Interim Financial Reporting, issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), as well as for the fair presentation of this information in conformity with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM) applicable to the preparation of the Quarterly Information Form (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 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 accompanying individual and consolidated interim financial information included in the quarterly information referred to above are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with NBC TG 21 and IAS 34 applicable to the preparation of Quarterly Information Form (ITR), and presented consistently with the rules issued by the Brazilian Securities and Exchange Commission (CVM).

Material uncertainty related to the Company`s ability to continue as a going concern

 

We draw attention to note 1.2 to the individual and consolidated interim financial information, which states that, according to the individual and consolidated statement of financial position as of September 30, 2023, the Company presented negative shareholders’ equity of R$22,029 million, as well as an excess of current liabilities over current assets, individual and consolidated, by R$754 million and R$10,457 million, respectively. As disclosed in note 1.2, these events or conditions, together with other matters described in note 1.2, indicate the existence of a material uncertainty about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not qualified in respect of this matter.

 

Other matters

 

Statements of value added

 

The abovementioned quarterly information include the individual and consolidated statement of value added (SVA) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, prepared under Company’s Management responsibility and presented as supplementary information by IAS 34. These statements have been subject to review procedures performed together with the review of the quarterly information with the objective to conclude whether they are reconciled to the interim financial information and the accounting records, as applicable, and if its format and content are in accordance with the criteria set forth by NBC TG 09 – Statement of Value Added. Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that they were not prepared, in all material respects, consistently with the overall individual and consolidated interim financial information.

1.2.Capital Structure and Net Current Capital

 

On September 30, 2023, the Company’s negative individual and consolidated net working capital reached R$754,204 and R$10,457,049, respectively (R$544,653 and R$10,867,704 negative on December 31, 2022).

Notes on the Parent Company and Consolidated Quarterly Information (ITR)

September 30, 2023

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais - R$, except when otherwise indicated)

 

The Company is highly sensitive to the macroeconomic scenario and Brazilian Real’s volatility, as approximately 94.0% of the indebtedness (loans, financing and leases) is linked to US dollars (“US$”) and 47.2% of costs are also linked to US dollars, while the capacity to adjust ticket prices charged to its customers in order to offset the U.S. dollar appreciation is dependent on capacity (offer) and ticket prices practiced by the competitors.

 

Over the past five years, Management has taken a series of measures to adjust its capital structure and preserve liquidity and efficiency in its cost indicators. During the pandemic, the focus was on adjusting the fleet size to match seat capacity with demand levels, thereby maintaining high occupancy rates while improving productivity and efficiency in fixed costs. By the end of 2022, having almost returned to the same level of capacity and operational fleet size to its pre-pandemic levels, the Company achieved dollar unit costs similar to those prior to the pandemic, mitigating the effects of inflationary cost pressures, currency devaluation, and higher aviation fuel prices. Consumer demand for leisure air travel remains robust, even amidst a slower recovery in corporate demand, which has resulted in a 40% increase in fare levels compared to pre-pandemic levels and occupancy rates above 80%.

 

During the nine-month period ending on September 30, 2023, the Company completed a capital markets structuring operation with Abra Group for up to $1.4 billion, through which it obtained new capital resources and refinanced approximately 63% of its debts due in 2024, 2025, and 2026, extending the average maturity to 2028 by over 3 years. The nearest maturity date, related to ESN 2024, had 90% refinanced under this arrangement. Additionally, the Company refinanced short-term debts. The Company continues to work on improving its operational efficiency, increasing profitability, and, along with its fleet transformation process, aims to deleverage and strengthen its balance sheet.

 

Although there is still significant uncertainty about how long it will take for the airline industry to recover, and this leads to a material uncertainty about our ability to remain in operation, the Company’s individual and consolidated quarterly information for the period ended on September 30, 2023, has been prepared on the assumption of a going concern, which assumes the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business, in accordance with the business plan prepared by the Management, reviewed and approved at least annually by the Board of Directors. Therefore, these individual and consolidated quarterly information do not include any adjustments that may result from the inability to continue operating.

 

1.3.Cargo and Logistics Services Agreement

 

In April 2022, the Company signed a 10-year cargo service agreement with Mercado Livre. This agreement provides for a dedicated cargo fleet with 6 Boeing 737-800 BCFs, allowing including another 6 cargo aircraft by 2025. During the period ended on September 30, 2023, the Company received 3 cargo aircraft, totaling 5 cargo aircraft in operation on this date.

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais - R$, except when otherwise indicated)

 

 

GOL's agreement with Mercado Livre is part of the Company's investment to meet the needs of the growing Brazilian e-commerce market. As a result, the Company plans to expand its services and significantly increase the available cargo carrying capacity in tons in 2023 to generate additional revenue.

 

1.4.Agreement between the Controlling Shareholder and Main Investors of Avianca

 

In May, 2022, the Company announced that its controlling shareholder, MOBI Fundo de Investimento em Ações Investimento no Exterior (“MOBI FIA”), had entered into a Master Contribution Agreement with the main shareholders of Investment Vehicle 1 Limited (“Avianca Holding”).

 

Under the terms of the Master Contribution Agreement, MOBI FIA contributed its shares in GOL, and the main investors of Avianca Holding contributed their shares in Avianca Holding to Abra Group Limited (“Abra”), a privately held company, incorporated under the laws of England and Wales. Additionally, the parties agreed to enter into a Shareholders' Agreement to govern their rights and obligations as shareholders of Abra.

 

GOL and Avianca will continue to operate independently and maintain their respective brands and cultures.

 

1.5.Acquisition of MAP Transportes Aéreos

 

In June, 2021, GOL signed an agreement to acquire MAP Transportes Aéreos Ltda., a domestic Brazilian airline with routes to regional destinations from Congonhas Airport in São Paulo, considering the Company's commitment to expand the air transportation demand and rationally consolidate in the domestic market as the country's economy recovers from Covid-19.

 

In December, 2021, through SG Order 1929/2021, the Administrative Council for Economic Defense (CADE) approved the operation without restrictions. The conclusion of the transaction is subject to other precedent conditions, which have not yet been fulfilled, therefore, on September 30, 2023, there are no impacts on the individual and consolidated Company's Quarterly Information.

 

MAP may be acquired for R$28 million to be paid only after meeting all precedent conditions, through 100,000 preferred shares (GOLL4) at R$28.00 per share and R$25 million in cash in 24 monthly installments, with the assumption of up to R$100 million in MAP's financial commitments. On September 30, 2023, these conditions have not yet been finalized.

Notes on the Parent Company and Consolidated Quarterly Information (ITR)

September 30, 2023

(In thousands of Brazilian Reais - R$, except when otherwise indicated)

 

 

These changes did not impact the Company's quarterly information.

 

4.2.Changes in standards that are not yet effective

 

In May 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Disclosures to clarify the characteristics of supplier financing arrangements and require additional disclosure of these arrangements to assist financial statement users in understanding the effects of supplier financing agreements on an entity's liabilities, cash flows, and liquidity risk exposure. These amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2024. It is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial statements as a result of these changes. Finally, the Company has not opted for early adoption.

 

 

4.3.Foreign Currency Transactions

 

Foreign currency transactions are recorded at the exchange rate change prevailing on the transactions' date. Monetary assets and liabilities designated in foreign currency are calculated based on the exchange rate change on the balance sheet date. Any difference resulting from the translation of currencies is recorded under the item “Monetary and Foreign Exchange Rate Variation, Net” in the income statement for the period.

 

The main exchange rates in Brazilian Reais in effect on the base date of this Parent Company and Consolidated Quarterly Information (ITR) are as follows:

 

  Final Rate Average Rate
  September 30, 2023 December 31, 2022 September 30, 2023 September 30, 2022
U.S. Dollar 5.0076 5.2177 5.0102 5.1325
Argentinian Peso 0.0143 0.0295 0.0215 0.0433

 

5.Seasonality

 

Under normal economic and social conditions, the Company expects revenues and operating income (expense) from its flights to be at their highest levels in the summer and winter vacation periods, in January and July, respectively, and during the last weeks of December and in the year-end holiday period. Given the high proportion of fixed costs, this seasonality tends to drive changes in operating income (expense) across the fiscal-year quarters.

The Company makes deposits in US dollars for aircraft and engine overhauling, which will be used in future events as established in certain lease agreements. The Company has the right to choose to carry out the maintenance internally or through its suppliers.

 

Maintenance deposits do not exempt the Company, as a lessee, from contractual obligations related to the maintenance or the risk associated with operating activities. The Company has the right to choose to perform maintenance internally or through its suppliers. These deposits can be replaced by bank guarantees or letters of credit (SBLC - stand by letter of credit) as established in the aircraft lease.

On September 30, 2023, no letters of credit had been executed against the Company.

The balances of goodwill and airport operating rights (slots) were tested for impairment on December 31, 2022, through the discounted cash flow for each cash-generating unit, giving rise to the value in use. The Company operates a single cash generating unit, considering that the revenue depends on different assets that cannot be evaluated in isolation for measuring the value in use. On September 30, 2023, no indications of impairment on the cash-generating unit were identified.

 

To establish the book value of each CGU, the Company considers not only the recorded intangible assets but also all tangible assets necessary for conducting business, as it is only through the use of this set that the Company will generate economic benefits.

The total also includes the fair value of the derivative financial instrument, referring to the convertibility of the ESN 2024, totaling R$164 on September 30, 2023 (R$17,753 on December 31, 2022). Due to its characteristics, the derivative financial instrument related to the convertibility of ESN 2028 is presented separately in the group of obligations with derivative transactions.

 

16.1. New funding and renegotiations during the period ended on September 30, 2023

 

16.1.1. Debentures

 

On September 26, 2023, General Bondholders' Meetings were held to deliberate on the change of maturity for the First Series, Second Series, Third Series of the 7th issuance, and the Single Series of the 8th issuance, from October 2024 to June 2026, with a new remuneration of CDI + 5.0% p.a., which can be redeemed early by the Company.

 

The outstanding balance of R$ 886,000 will be amortized in 30 monthly installments from January 2024 to June 2026. Settlement is subject to the Company establishing a receivables prepayment structure by January 25, 2024, and the funds obtained will be used obligatorily and primarily for the full payment of the corresponding principal amount of the issuances.

 

These renegotiations were assessed in accordance with IFRS 9 - "Financial Instruments,", and fit the definitions of contractual modification.

 

16.1.2. Import Financing

 

During the period ending on September 30, 2023, GLA also renegotiated the maturities of contracts of this nature, affecting the interest rate as disclosed in the table above. The other terms of these transactions remained unchanged. These operations are part of a credit line for import financing, with the objective of maintaining engines, purchasing spare parts, and acquiring aeronautical equipment. These renegotiations were assessed in accordance with CPC 48 - "Financial Instruments," equivalent to IFRS 9, and did not meet the criteria for liability derecognition.

16.1.4. Senior Secured Notes 2028 and Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes 2028

 

In accordance with the controlling shareholder transaction disclosed in explanatory note 1.4, in February 2023, the Company and Abra signed the Support Agreement with Abra's commitment to invest in the Company from the issuance of Senior Secured Notes maturing in 2028. For this purpose, Abra agreed to issue Senior Secured Notes ("SSNs") maturing in 2028, convertible into Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes ("ESSNs") maturing in 2028, and the Ad-Hoc Group agreed to exchange certain existing Senior Notes of the Company (ESN 2024, Senior Notes 2025, Senior Secured Notes 2026, and perpetual bonds) for the SSNs.

 

In March 2023, Abra issued the SSNs and entered into the Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement with GOL as the guarantor and paying agent, GOL Finance as the issuer, and with the guarantee of Smiles Fidelidade S.A. On the same date, GOL issued Senior Secured Notes 2028 ("SSNs 2028") to Abra, which provide for an interest rate of 18.0% p.a., payable semi-annually, with 4.5% in cash coupons and 13.5% p.a. in PIK (Payment in Kind). SSNs 2028 are backed by intellectual property, system infrastructure, data, and Smiles loyalty program manuals, in addition to shared collateral with the Senior Secured Notes 2026.

 

Part of the issuance was used for the repurchase of 90.1% of ESN 2024, 47.3% of Senior Notes 2025, 61.4% of Senior Secured Notes 2026, and 9.9% of Perpetual Bonds, valued at a total amount of R$5,192,880. Considering the change in the creditor, these repayments were considered as a partial extinguishment, under the perspective of CPC 48 - "Financial Instruments," equivalent to IFRS 9. In this context, the costs related to the issuance, as well as the difference between the carrying amount attributed to the portion derecognized due to the partial extinguishment of the repurchased securities and the nominal value of the new liability assumed, were recognized directly in the income statement, see explanatory note 31. In addition to the above-mentioned amounts, part of the issuance did not pass through the Company's cash flow, as it was directly transferred by Abra to pay the Company's obligations to suppliers.

 

Up to September 29, 2023, the Company issued R$6,494,496 to Abra, equivalent to US$1,258,031 thousand, in the form of Senior Secured Notes 2028, whose fair value at initial recognition amounted to R$6,934,269 (US$1,343,181 thousand). Since the transaction was conducted with Abra, the difference between the face value of the debt and the fair value was recognized directly in equity.

 

On the same date, the Company converted R$5,911,181 (US$1,180,442 thousand) of SSN 2028 into Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes 2028 ("ESSNs 2028"), which may be converted into GOL preference shares by Abra and are subject to certain conditions precedent, which may or may not be met. The SSNs 2028 converted into ESSNs 2028 had a carrying amount of R$6,407,575 (US$1,279,570 thousand). These changes were assessed in accordance with CPC 48 - "Financial Instruments," equivalent to IFRS 9, and met the criteria for derecognition of the liability of the SSNs 2028, with the extinguishment of the original financial liability and recognition of a new financial liability for the ESSNs 2028.

 

The ESSNs 2028 issued on September 29, 2023, have the same maturity date and interest payment terms as the previously existing SSNs. In the context of this transaction, the Company issued a total of 1,008,166,796 subscription bonuses for preferred shares of the Company's issuance, with 991,951,681 subscribed for the purpose of future conversion of the ESSNs 2028, see explanatory note 25.3.

 

The Company initially measured the fair value of the financial liability using the revenue approach, resulting in an amount of R$6,789,995 (US$1,355,938 thousand). Since the transaction was conducted with Abra, the difference between the transaction price of the extinguished portion of the SSNs 2028 and the fair value was recognized directly in equity. The portion corresponding to the conversion option of the securities into shares at market value amounts to R$3,409,360 (US$680,837 thousand) and is presented as Derivative Operations Liabilities, see explanatory note 33.

The Company's Management believes that the provision for tax, civil and labor risks, recorded in accordance with CPC 25 – “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”, equivalent to IAS 37, is sufficient to cover possible losses on administrative and judicial proceedings, as shown below:

The National Union of Airline Companies (SNEA) is discussing the maintenance, by its members, of the tax regime for the Social Security Contribution on Gross Revenue (CPRB) throughout the calendar year 2018, disregarding the effects of Law No. 13670/18, which came into effect in September 2018. In September 2023, considering the position of the Superior Courts on the matter, especially the STJ (1st panel) through theme 1184, the Company reassessed the loss prognosis, resulting in the reclassification of the related debts as probable risk.

 

During the period ending on September 30, 2023, the Brazilian Federal Revenue initiated administrative proceedings against the Company related to the non-approval of offsets for social security contribution credits in the amount of R$65,010. These proceedings were assessed by the Company's management and legal advisors as having a possible risk, as there are arguments for defense in the context of an administrative appeal.

 

Details regarding other relevant legal proceedings were disclosed in the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

There were no other relevant movements concerning new proceedings or reclassification of risk loss in the period ending on September 30, 2023.

 

23.3.1. Active Lawsuits

 

In 2007, the Company filed an arbitration at the International Court of Arbitration (“ICC”) against the sellers of VRG and its controlling shareholders due to the purchase price adjustment. In January 2011, ICC ruled in GOL’s favor. The procedure to enforce the arbitration decision started at the Cayman Court, jurisdiction of one of the defendants, which ruled in May 2022 in GOL’s favor, confirming that the court decision can be fully enforced. In May 2022, an agreement was signed between the parties, settled in June 2023, through which GOL received US$42,000 thousand, equivalent to R$204,330 on the date of receipt, for the final resolution of the arbitration.

Increase in prices/barrel (+10%) 97.68 13,992
Increase in prices/barrel (+25%) 111.00 38,810

 

33.3.2. Interest Rate

 

The Company is mainly exposed to lease transactions indexed to changes in the interest rate until the aircraft is received. To mitigate such risks, the Company can use derivative financial instruments.

 

On September 30, 2023, the Company held financial investments and loans and financing with different types of fees. Its sensitivity analysis of non-derivative financial instruments examined the impact on annual interest rates only for positions with material amounts on September 30, 2023 that were exposed to fluctuations in interest rates, as the scenarios below show.

 

The amounts show the impacts on Income (Expenses) according to the scenarios adopted below:

 

  Financial investments net of financial debt (a)
Risk CDI rate increase SOFR rate increase
Reference rates 12.75% 5.31%
Exposure amount (probable scenario) (b) (573,203) (303,322)
Remote favorable scenario (-25%) 24,646 4,027
Possible favorable scenario (-10%) 9,859 1,611
Possible adverse scenario (+10%) (9,859) (1,611)
Remote adverse scenario (+25%) (24,646) (4,027)
(a)Refers to the sum of the amounts invested and raised in the financial market and indexed to the CDI and SOFR rates,
(b)Book balances recorded as of September 30, 2023,

 

33.3.3. Exchange Rate

 

Foreign currency risk derives from the possibility of unfavorable fluctuation of foreign currency to which the Company’s liabilities or cash flows are exposed. The Company is mainly exposed to the exchange rate change of the U.S. dollar.

33.4. Credit Risk

 

The credit risk is inherent in the Company’s operating and financing activities, mainly in cash and cash equivalents, financial investments and trade receivables. Financial assets classified as cash, cash equivalents and financial investments are deposited with counterparties rated investment grade or higher by S&P or Moody's (between AAA and AA-), pursuant to risk management policies.

 

Credit limits are set for all customers based on internal credit rating criteria and carrying amounts represent the maximum credit risk exposure. Customer creditworthiness is assessed based on an internal system of extensive credit rating. Outstanding trade receivables are frequently monitored by the Company.

 

Derivative financial instruments are contracted in the over-the-counter market (OTC) with counterparties rated investment grade or higher, or in a commodities and futures exchange (B3 and NYMEX), thus substantially mitigating credit risk. The Company's obligation is to evaluate counterparty risk involved in financial instruments and periodically diversify its exposure.

 

33.5. Liquidity risk

 

The Company is exposed to liquidity risk in two distinct ways: (i) market prices, which vary in accordance with the types of assets and markets where they are traded, and (ii) cash flow liquidity risk related to difficulties in meeting the contracted operating liabilities at the maturity dates. To meet the liquidity risk management, the Company invests its resources in liquid assets (federal government bonds, CDBs, and investment funds with daily liquidity) and the Cash Management Policy establishes that the weighted average term of the debt must be greater than the weighted average term of the investment portfolio term.

 

The schedules of financial liabilities held by the Company's consolidated financial liabilities on September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:
