GOL now offers over 790 daily flights to 59 different destinations in Brazil and South America, the most of any airline group. In 3Q08, GOL added 19 new daily flight frequencies. 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.
On August 31, the Company ceased long-haul services with the last intercontinental flight to Paris, France. Beginning August 31, the Company ceased operating Boeing 767s and now operates only Boeing 737s on its short and medium-haul flights.
On September 25, Anac (Brazils National Civil Aviation Agency) approved the Companys corporate restructuring plan for its subsidiaries GTA and VRG. On September 30, the subsidiaries merged into one airline.
On October 19, GOL launched its new integrated route network. The new network compliments the Companys unified structure by eliminating overlapping routes and schedules between GOL and VARIG, which improves flight occupancy levels by allowing the Company to increase offerings in markets where it has consolidated operations while also allowing new connections between previously unlinked cities.
On October 16, the Company launched a new Comfort Class on VARIGs medium-haul international flights, which provides passengers with a number of important benefits, including a wide variety of meal choices, more legroom between seats, on-demand entertainment during the flight, and many other benefits. The Company has also enhanced its in-flight service on domestic flights.
Beginning on October 16, customers flying on both VARIG and GOL are able to accumulate miles through the SMILES frequent flyer program. Beginning November 16, miles can be exchanged for tickets to all destinations served by the Company.
On October 23 the Company signed an interline agreement with Germany-based Condor Airlines. Through this partnership, passengers of the European airline can purchase tickets on GOL to Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Fortaleza, Maceió, Natal, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.
The Company ended the quarter with 25.6% of its shares floating in the market. GOLs shares presented average daily trading volumes of US$19.0mm (R$31.7mm) during 3Q08.

MANAGEMENTS COMMENTS ON RESULTS |
During the third quarter of 2008, despite record fuel prices in the domestic market and incurring extraordinary costs related to aircraft returns, GOL was able to achieve its goal of having profitable consolidated operations in the quarter, with operating margin of 3.4% . Due to seasonality, decreased promotional activities, planned capacity reductions and the cease of long-haul operations, yields increased approximately 39% over 2Q08. Higher yields led to a 31% increase RASK during the same period. The Companys punctuality rates were among the highest in the industry, reaching 88% in the quarter and 92% in September. Completion rate was 98% in 3Q08.
During the quarter, GOL took important steps towards improving operating efficiency and customer service. On September 30, 2008, GOLs operating companies GTA and VRG merged into a single airline, following ANACs approval on September 25. The merger allowed GOL to launch a new integrated route network on October 19, complimenting the Companys unified structure by eliminating overlapping routes and schedules between GOL and VARIG. The new network will also improve flight occupancy levels by allowing the Company to increase offerings in markets where it has consolidated operations while also allowing for new direct connections between previously unlinked cities.
During the quarter, GOL also invested in passengers onboard comfort by adding value to the air transportation service. The integration of operations and the increase in scale allowed the Company to improve onboard service in its flights, without incurring additional costs, adjusting onboard meals to different flight lengths. To better serve business passengers, the Smiles program, Latin Americas largest mileage program, was extended to all of the Companys flights. GOL also launched the new Comfort class on VARIGs medium-haul flights in South America. We believe the integrated network, combined with initiatives to add value to our services and improve our passengers flight experience will provide customers with the best quality in air transportation in South America, allowing us to further increase load factors without increasing costs, said Constantino de Oliveira Junior, GOLs president and CEO.
Demand for air travel in Brazil remained strong in the third quarter of 2008. Domestic RPKs grew at a rate of 9% in 2Q08, 1.8 times Brazils estimated GDP growth rate. To serve this growth, GOL added 12.4 aircraft to its fleet over 3Q07, increasing the Companys capacity by 16% during the quarter. Passengers transported in 3Q08 increased 8.7% over 3Q07. The 3Q08 consolidated load factor was 60%, a decrease of 1.2 percentage point from 3Q07. The Company will continue to invest resources in the future and growth of the Brazilian air transportation system.
Consolidated operating costs per ASK excluding fuel increased 13.6% to 9.87 cents (R$) year-over-year, primarily due to a 4.5% reduction in aircraft utilization, and non-recurring expenses related to aircraft maintenance services related to returning aircraft. Consolidated fuel costs per available seat kilometer (ASK) increased 36.3% year-over-year. Due to higher fuel prices, lower aircraft utilization in the third quarter and extraordinary expenses related to aircraft returns, total consolidated operating cost per seat kilometer (CASK) increased 22.4% to 17.42 cents (R$).
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 adds Constantino de Oliveira Junior. We are very proud that over 97 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, an extensive mileage program and the lowest fares, continues de Oliveira.

REVENUES |
Net operating revenues, principally revenues from passenger transportation, increased 37.2% to R$1.8bn, due to an 8.7% increase in RPKs, combined with a 24.7% increase in yields, partially offset by a 1.2 percentage point decrease in load factors. GOLs consolidated RPK growth was driven by a 9.7% increase in departures. Consolidated RPKs grew 8.7% to 5,944mm and revenue passengers grew 8.7% to 6.0mm.
Consolidated yields increased 24.7% to 27.09 cents (R$) per passenger kilometer, mainly due to an increase of 25.0% in average fares from R$220 to R$275, while fuel price (WTI) increased 57.1% in the same period. Consolidated operating revenues per ASK (RASK) increased 23.7% to R$18.04 cents in 3Q08, compared to R$14.58 cents in 3Q07.
The 10.9% year-over-year capacity expansion, measured by ASKs, facilitated the addition of 19 new daily flight frequencies for GOL in 3Q08. The addition of 12.4 average operating aircraft compared to 3Q07 (from 91.0 to 103.4 average aircraft) drove the ASK increase.
GOLs domestic market share averaged 40% during the quarter. Through regular international flights, GOL achieved international market share of 24% (share of Brazilian airlines flying to international destinations) over the same period. 22.0% of consolidated RPKs were related to international passenger traffic in 3Q08.
GOLs cargo transportation activities (Gollog) are responsible for a majority of its ancillary revenues, reporting 3Q08 revenue of R$178.0mm.
OPERATING EXPENSES |
Total consolidated CASK increased 22.4% to 17.42 cents (R$), due to a 42.2% increase in fuel price per liter, planned lower aircraft utilization, and increases in salaries, wages and benefits expenses, sales and marketing and depreciation per ASK. The CASK increase was partially offset by maintenance, materials and repair expenses per ASK. Operating expenses per ASK excluding fuel increased 13.6% to 9.87 cents (R$). Total operating expenses increased 35.7%, reaching R$1,727.0mm, mainly due to higher fuel expenses, increased air traffic servicing expenses, sales and marketing expenses and the expansion of the Companys operations (fleet and employee expansion as well as a higher volume of landing fees). The R$253.3mm increase in fuel expenses in 3Q08 over 3Q07 was due to increased fuel consumption and a 42.2% increase in fuel price per liter. Consolidated breakeven load factor decreased 1.9 percentage points to 57.9% versus 59.8% in 3Q07.
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 36.3% over 3Q07 to 7.55 cents (R$), mainly due to increased fuel price per liter year-over-year. The 42.2% increase in average fuel price per liter over 3Q07 was primarily due to an increase of 57.1% in crude oil (WTI) prices and a 61.4% increase in Gulf Coast jet fuel (factors influencing the determination of Brazilian jet fuel prices) and was partially offset by a 13.0% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar. On September 30, 2008, the Company had hedged approximately 3% of its 4Q08 fuel requirements; the Company had no hedge contracted for its fuel requirements for 1Q09 and on.
Salaries, wages and benefits expenses per available seat kilometer (ASK) increased 10.7% to 2.48 cents (R$) in 3Q08, primarily due to planned lower aircraft utilization (0.6 less block hours per day), a 5% cost of living increase on salaries effected in December 2007 and a 10.6% increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees to 15,963.
- 6 / 23 -
Aircraft rent per ASK increased 3.2% to 1.61 cents (R$) in 3Q08, primarily due to a planned lower aircraft utilization rate and partially offset by a 13.0% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar.
Sales and marketing expenses per ASK increased 76.6% to 1.96 cents (R$) due to an increase in sales incentives and lower aircraft utilization. During the quarter, the Company booked a majority of its tickets through a combination of its GOL and Varig websites (67.0%) and its call center (21.6%) .
Landing fees per ASK increased 6.1% to 0.87 cents (R$), mainly due to the increase in parking fees at São Paulos Congonhas airport and a decrease in average stage length as a result of closing intercontinental destinations.
Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses per ASK increase 2.2%, to 0.92 cents (R$), mainly due to an increase in handling expenses caused by a reduction in average stage length, partially offset by a decrease in landings at international airports during the quarter (with higher fares), due to the closing of intercontinental destinations.
Maintenance, materials and repairs per ASK decreased 17.4% to 0.90 cents (R$), primarily due to a 13.0% 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$53.9mm (including extraordinary expenses with maintenance services of returned aircraft), the use of spare parts inventory in the amount of R$9.3mm and the repair of rotable materials in the amount of R$9.6mm.
Depreciation per ASK increased 50.0% to 0.39 cents (R$), due to a higher amount of fixed assets (mainly spare parts inventory) and increased depreciation related to 17 new 737-800 NG aircraft which were added to the fleet between 4Q06 and 3Q08 and seven aircraft (three 737 NGs and four 767s) classified as capital leases.
Other operating expenses per ASK were 0.74 cents (R$), a 4.2% increase when compared to the same period of the previous year, due to an increase in cancelled flight expenses and crew lodging expenses, partially offset by a reduction in insurance expenses per ASK. Insurance expenses, at 0.11 cents (R$) per ASK (R$12.0mm total), decreased 1.8% over 3Q07, due to a 13.0% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar.

COMMENTS ON EBITDA AND EBITDAR1 |
A 3.46 cents (R$) increase in RASK, partially offset by a 3.19 cent (R$) increase in CASK, resulted in a 0.40 cents (R$) increase in EBITDA per available seat kilometer in 3Q08. EBITDA totaled R$100.0mm in the period, compared to R$53.9mm in 3Q07 and -R$243.8mm in 2Q08.

Aircraft rent represents a significant operating expense for the Company. As the Company today leases most of its aircraft, management believes that EBITDAR, equivalent to EBITDA before aircraft rent expenses (which are USD-denominated) is a useful measure of relative operating performance for users of GOLs financial statements. On a per-ASK basis, EBITDAR was 2.62 cents (R$) in 3Q08, compared to 2.17 cents (R$) in 3Q07. EBITDAR amounted to R$259.9mm in 3Q08, compared to R$193.4mm in the same period last year and -R$90.4mm in 2Q08.
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 results totaled an expense of R$399.8mm in 3Q08. Interest expense increased R$63.2mm year-over-year primarily due to an increase in total debt. Interest income decreased R$57.6mm due to a lower balance of cash and cash equivalents versus 3Q07, partially offset by a 1.2 percentage point increase in average Brazilian interest rates (as measured by the CDI rate).
The non cash FX loss was R$261.8mm during the quarter, mainly related to the Companys net foreign currency liabilities. The net impact of gains in currency hedges and losses in fuel hedges in the quarter was negative in R$48.0mm.

FLEET PLAN |
The Company is in the final phase of its plan to replace its 737-300 and 767-300 aircraft with 737-700s and 737-800s for operations on short- and medium-haul routes. These aircraft have lower operating costs, are more fuel efficient, and will reduce
the fleets average age. The 737-700 NG aircraft provide the Company 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 4Q08, GOLs fleet modernization program will replace three aircraft 737-300 with three new Next Generation models, representing a
sequential increase in total available seat capacity of approximately 2% over 3Q08. Additionally the Company has removed seven Boeing 767-300 aircraft from its operating fleet; these aircraft will be subleased or used for charter operations or
freight services.
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 mostly comprised of Boeing 737 NGs, reducing the
average age of the fleet to 6.8 years. By the end of 2009, the fleet will be comprised entirely of Boeing 737 NGs, reducing average fleet age to 5.5 years. At the end of 2012, 65% of the fleet will be comprised of 737-800 SFP aircraft, maintaining
the average age at 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. The Company 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 GOL has a flexible fleet plan that allows the Company to manage its capacity growth according to market growth, the company expects to benefit from economies of scale as it continues to renew and standardize its fleet and further improve and integrate its highly efficient operating network. Management expects to reduce GOLs non-fuel cost per available seat-kilometer (CASK) over time as the Company continues to reduce the age of its fleet, benefit from the cost savings through the aircraft maintenance center and improve upon GOLs cost-efficient distribution channels. Through the VARIG brand, GOL provides an attractive service offering to business passengers traveling to the Companys international destinations in South America. The Company expects to grow revenues from the Gollog cargo transportation business, the 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 4Q08 GOLs fleet modernization program will replace three older aircraft with three new Next Generation models (no net effect on the consolidated fleet) and will sequentially decrease total available seat capacity by approximately 2% over 3Q08 (+1% in the domestic market and -16% the international market).
For the fourth quarter of 2008, reflecting the network integration, GOL expects consolidated load factors in the range of 63% with consolidated passenger yields in the range of R$27 cents. For the fourth quarter, the Company expects consolidated non-fuel CASK to be in the range of R$9.7 cents (flat versus 3Q08) including expected extraordinary costs related to aircraft returns. The Company expects that the incorporation of larger, more fuel-efficient aircraft and reduction in jet fuel prices will reduce the Companys fuel costs per ASK.
For the full year 2008, GOL has adjusted its fuel and currency assumptions. The Companys full-year 2008 and 2009 general guidance is presented below for those analysts and investors that project GOLs results.
