The subsidiaries GAC Inc., GOL Finance and GOL Finance Inc. are entities created for the specific purpose of continuing financial operations and related to the Company's fleet. They do not have their own governing body and decision-making autonomy. Therefore, their assets and liabilities are consolidated in the parent company.

 

GTX S.A., direct subsidiary by the Company, is pre-operational and its corporate purpose is to manage its own assets and have an interest in the capital of other companies.

 

Smiles Fidelidade has as purpose the development and management of a customer loyalty program, whether own or third-party; the sale of rights to redeem prizes within the scope of the customer loyalty program; the provision of tourism services in general, among others.

 

Smiles Viagens e Turismo S.A. (“Smiles Viagens”), has as main purpose intermediating travel organization services by booking or selling airline tickets, accommodation, tours, among others. The subsidiaries Smiles Fidelidade Argentina and Smiles Viajes Y Turismo S.A., both headquartered in Buenos Aires, Argentina, have the purpose to promote Smiles Program’s operations and the sale of airline tickets in this country.

 

The investment funds Airfim and Fundo Sorriso, controlled by GLA, have the characteristic of an exclusive fund and act as an extension to carry out operations with derivatives and financial investments, so that the Company consolidates the assets and liabilities of these funds.

 

1.2.Capital structure and net working capital

 

On March 31, 2023, the net working capital is negative by R$10,557,995 (negative by R$ 10,867,704 on December 31, 2022) and negative equity of R$21,040,743 (negative by R$21,358,815 on December 31, 2022).

 

The observed variation is mainly due to the following factors:

·the Company's operating result for the period, with a 11.0% increase in the supply, measured by ASK, and a 2.3 percentage point increase in the occupancy rate compared to the same period of the previous year;
·the Company's profit for the period, impacted by the appreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar; and
·an increase in the Company's total liquidity and gain obtained as a result of a refinancing transaction with the controlling shareholder, described in accompanying note 1.4.

Notes to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial information statements

March 31, 2023

(In thousands of 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 and financing and leases) is linked to US dollars (“US$”) and 51.9% 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 many measures to adapt the size of its fleet to demand, matching the supply of seats to demand and thus keeping high load factors, reducing costs and adjusting its capital structure.

 

Our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on an accounting base of continuity, which includes the continuity of operations, realization of assets and compliance with liabilities and commitments in the usual course of business, in compliance with the business plan prepared by Management, reviewed and approved, by GOL's Board of Directors.

 

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, on March 31, 2023, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the inability to continue operating.

 

1.3.Landmark 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 (six) Boeing 737-800 BCFs, allowing including another 6 cargo aircraft by 2025. During the three-month period ended March 31, 2023, the Company received 1 cargo aircraft, totaling 3 cargo aircraft in operation on this date.

 

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 was required to contribute its shares in GOL, and the main investors of Avianca Holding were required to contribute 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.

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 March 31, 2023, there are no impacts on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

 

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 March 31, 2023, these conditions have not yet been finalized.

10.1.Maintenance deposits

 

The Company makes deposits in U.S. dollars for the maintenance of aircraft and engines, 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 according to the conditions established in the aircraft lease. These letters can be executed by the lessors if the maintenance of the aircraft and engines does not occur according to the review schedule. On March 31, 2023, no letters of credit had been executed against the Company.

 

The Company has two categories of maintenance deposits:

 

·Maintenance guarantee: refers to one-time deposits that are refunded at the end of the lease, and can also be used in maintenance events, depending on negotiations with lessors. The balance of these deposits on March 31, 2023 was R$199,735 (R$231,222 on December 31, 2022).

 

·Maintenance reserve: refers to amounts paid monthly based on the use of components and can be used in maintenance events as set by an agreement. On March 31, 2023, the balance referring to such reserves was R$867,290 (R$903,167 on December 31, 2022).

Part of the funds from the commitment assumed for financing came from the members of an Ad-Hoc Group of holders of Senior Notes of GOL (“Ad-Hoc Group”) and another part of the investment came from holders of Senior Notes outside the Group Ad-Hoc (“Non-AHC Group”), who have adhered to the terms of the Support Agreement.

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

 

To this end, Abra has agreed to issue the Senior Secured Notes (“SSNs”) due 2028, which will be convertible into Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes (“ESSNs”) due 2028, and the Ad-Hoc Group has agreed to exchange certain Company's existing Senior Notes (ESN 2024, Senior Notes 2025, Senior Secured Notes 2026 and the Perpetual Notes) for the new SSNs.

 

In this financing commitment, Abra has agreed to (i) invest cash in the Company; (ii) contribute GOL Bonds acquired from the Ad-Hoc Group and other holders to GOL; and (iii) in return, receive new Bonds through the issuance of SSNs.

 

In March 2023, Abra issued the SSNs and entered into the Senior Secured Note Purchase Agreement with GOL as guarantor and paying agent, GOL Finance as issuer and guarantee of Smiles Fidelidade S.A.. On the same date, GOL issued SSN 2028 to Abra, with interest of 18.0% p.a., payable semi-annually, of which the Company may choose to capitalize up to 13.5% p.a., and a discount of 15 points. The SSN 2028 are guaranteed by the intellectual property, systems infrastructure, data and manuals of the Smiles loyalty program, in addition to the parts guarantee shared with the Senior Secured Notes 2026.

 

During the period ended March 31, 2023 the Company issued to Abra R$5,570,177, equivalent to US$1,070,103, in the form of Senior Secured Notes 2028, whose fair value upon initial recognition totaled R$5,950,528 (US$1,143,173). Given that the transaction was carried out with the Company's controlling shareholder, the difference between the nominal value of the debt and the fair value was recognized directly in shareholders' equity.

 

Part of the issue carried out in March 2023 was used to repurchase 84.0% of the 2024 ESN, 47.0% of the 2025 Senior Notes, 61.4% of the 2026 Senior Secured Notes and 9.9% of the Perpetual Bonds, totalizing the carrying amount of R$5,192,880. Considering the change of creditor, such amortizations were considered as partial extinguishment, under the perspective of IFRS 9. In this context, the costs related to the issuance, as well as the difference between the carrying amount attributed to the part unrecognized by the partial extinguishment of the securities repurchased and the face value of the new liability assumed, were recognized directly in the result, see accompanying note 29. In addition to the amounts mentioned above, part of the issuance did not pass through the Company's cash, being directly transferred by Abra for payment of the Company's obligation with to supplier, see accompanying note 32.

 

SSN 2028 may, at Abra's request, be converted into Exchangeable Senior Secured Notes 2028 (ESSN 2028), provided that the Company has obtained the respective corporate approvals and issuance of warrants that may be exchanged for preferred shares issued by the Company, which should ensure preemptive rights for GOL's shareholders.

Decline in prices/barrel (-10%) 68.22 (5,049)
Increase in prices/barrel (+10%) 83.38 7,319
Increase in prices/barrel (+25%) 94.75 21,988

 

31.3.2. Interest rate

 

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

 

On March 31, 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 March 31, 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 Libor rate increase
Reference rates 13.65% 4.81%
Exposure amount (probable scenario) (b) (819,647) (565,239)
Remote favorable scenario (-25%) 29,009 6,792
Possible favorable scenario (-10%) 11,604 2,717
Possible adverse scenario (+10%) (11,604) (2,717)
Remote adverse scenario (+25%) (29,009) (6,792)
(a)Refers to the sum of the amounts invested and raised in the financial market and indexed to the CDI and Libor rates.
(b)Book balances recorded as of March 31, 2023.

 

31.3.3. 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.

31.3.4. Capped call

 

The Company, through Gol Equity Finance, in the context of the pricing of the ESN issued on March 26, April 17 and July 17, 2019, contracted private derivative transactions (Capped call) with part of the note subscribers with the purpose of minimizing the potential dilution of the Company’s preferred shares and ADSs.

 

31.4.Credit risk

 

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.

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

 

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 or NYMEX), thus substantially mitigating credit risk. The Company's obligation is to evaluate counterparty risk involved in financial instruments and periodically diversify its exposure.

 

31.5.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 obligations at the maturity dates. In order to manage liquidity risk, the Company invests its funds in liquid assets (government bonds, CDBs and investment funds with daily liquidity) and its Cash Management Policy requires the weighted average maturity of its debt to be longer than the weighted average term of its investment portfolio term.

 

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