Enrique Beltranena, President & Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are pleased with our business performance as our Volaris team delivered strong first quarter 2024 results. Over the last six months, our primary focus has been directing operations to enhance our customer service and continuing our emphasis on obsessive cost control.
Despite the ongoing industry challenges, we continue to execute well and remain focused on delivering shareholder value. The company produced strong results that exceeded expectations. We generated a remarkable increase in TRASM and ancillaries while costs remained controlled. Moreover, Volaris achieved net profitability in the first quarter, posting a net income of $33 million dollars. This marks a significant achievement, as historically, due to seasonality, our first quarters have resulted in net losses; the last time we recorded a net profit in the first quarter was in 2019.
Looking forward, booking curves remain solid. As we execute our strategy, we prioritize profitability when allocating capacity and are cautiously optimistic about achieving results in line with our updated guidance.”

First Quarter 2024
(All figures are reported in U.S. dollars and compared to 1Q 2023 unless otherwise noted)
Total operating revenue in the quarter was $768 million, a 5.1% increase driven by solid demand and an improvement in total revenue per passenger.
Booked passengers amounted to 6.9 million, a decrease of 15%. Mexican domestic booked passengers decreased 23%, while international booked passengers increased 11%.
Total capacity, in terms of available seat miles (ASMs) decreased 13% to 8.2 billion due to the accelerated Pratt & Whitney engine inspections and the resulting aircraft groundings.
The load factor for the quarter reached 87.0%, representing an increase of 1.9 percentage points.
TRASM increased 21% to $9.34 cents, and total operating revenue per passenger stood at $111, representing a 24% increase.
The average base fare was $54, a 15% increase. The total ancillary revenue per passenger was $57, a 35% increase. Ancillary revenue represented 51% of total operating revenue, an increase of 4.1 percentage points.
Total operating expenses were $664 million, representing 86% of total operating revenue.
CASM totaled $8.08 cents and remained relatively flat year over year.
The average economic fuel cost decreased 13% to $3.01 per gallon.
CASM ex-fuel increased 11% to $5.16 cents. This increase was mainly caused by the aircraft-on-ground (AOG) due to Pratt and Whitney's engine preventive accelerated inspections and the effect of a larger proportion of international capacity with higher landing and navigation fees. This pressure was partially offset by the remeasurement of previously booked redelivery accruals, which reflect the lease extensions from 2024 to 2026.
Comprehensive financing result represented an expense of $57 million, compared to $65 million in the same period of 2023. For the period, the average exchange rate was Ps.17.00 per U.S. dollar, a 9.1% appreciation. At the end of the first quarter, the exchange rate stood at Ps.16.68 per U.S. dollar.
Income tax expense for the quarter was $14 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $25 million registered in the same period of 2023.
Net income in the quarter was $33 million, with an earnings per ADS of $0.29 cents.
EBITDAR for the quarter was $235 million, an increase of 91%, primarily attributable to higher unit revenues and lower fuel prices, while EBITDAR margin stood at 30.6%, an increase of 14 percentage points.
Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Capital Allocation
As of March 31, 2024, cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and short-term investments were $768 million, representing 23% of the last twelve months total operating revenue.
Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $245 million. Net cash flow used in investing and financing activities was $97 million and $171 million, respectively.
The financial debt amounted to $642 million, while total lease liabilities stood at $3,021 million, resulting in a net debt of $2,8956 million.
Net debt-to-LTM EBITDAR6 ratio stood at 3.1x, compared to 3.3x in the previous quarter and 3.8x in the same period of 2023.

The Company's expectations may change if actual results vary from these assumptions. There can be no assurances that Volaris will achieve these results.
