Message from Management
Dear shareholders,
The financial results for the second quarter reflect the challenging economic environment. We highlight the devaluation of the Brazilian Real against the US Dollar by 40.9%, compared to the same period in 2014, and inflation which reached 9.56% in the last twelve months.
Due to this scenario, net revenue reached R$2,1 billion, a decrease of 10.5% over the second quarter of 2014 and the costs and expenses increase of 1.6%, totaling R$2.4 billion in the same period. Therefore, the negative operating result (EBIT) of R$251.1 million and the net loss of R$354.9 million ended the continuing evolution we saw in the last nine quarters.
We closed the second quarter with a cash position of R$2.1 billion, representing 20.9% of net revenue in the last twelve months. Since the end of the quarter, we have further strengthened our liquidity through initiatives already announced to the market.
Therefore, on July 10, 2015 we announced an operation between GOL, its controlling shareholder, Delta Air Lines and the other shareholders, to be completed in the third quarter of this year. This transaction forecasts a capital increase of up to US$90 million by the controlling shareholder and up to US$56 million by Delta and other shareholders. We will also be issued a loan of up to US$300 million, with Delta as guarantor.
Upon completion, our cash position is even more robust, representing approximately 30% of net revenue, ensuring the continuity and sustainability of our current projects as well as the execution of our strategic plan.
On the operational side, among some important achievements we have reached in recent months, we highlight the extension of our leadership of on time performance in 2015 – 95.32% of our flights take off on the scheduled time in the period, according to data from Infraero. We were also the airline that has futher developed the load factor year to date, according to data from ANAC, with an increase of 2.1 percentage points compared to 2014.
In addition, we maintained our leadership in the number of passengers transported in the domestic market in 1H15, as well as in the number of tickets issued to corporate customers. According to data from the Brazilian Association of Corporate Travel Agencies (ABRACORP), our share reached 32.4% in the period.

2Q15 Earnings Release |
Regarding our supply, we will intensify our disciplined capacity management for the year. Since 2011, GOL has been the airline that reduced seat supply by the largest number among the companies serving the domestic market, totaling about 7.0 billion ASK or 14%.
In this sense, we announced a new supply projection for 2015, from zero to 1% reduction in the number of seats for the domestic market, resulting in a decrease of 2% to 4% in 2H15, when compared to the same period of 2014. We will monitor the development over the coming months and, if necessary, we will revisit these figures. It is worth mentioning that we are always evaluating the revision of all projections, especially in such a challenging and volatile phase the country's economy is going through.
Regarding costs, reduction and efficiency improvement initiatives have already showed results in 1H15. Supported by two renowned consulting firms, we have implemented several actions to reach 100% of manageable costs.
In order to maintain our leadership and increasingly match our customers’ expectations and preferences, we took an important step towards our innovation path, anticipating trends in the Brazilian aviation sector: we will be the first airline in Central and South America to offer free wi-fi internet access, with satellite connection. Our first aircraft equipped with this system is expected to start operations in mid-2016. With this, we will offer the most complete on-board entertainment solution across the continent, with movies, cartoons, series and games, music, in-flight maps, plus live television.
Consolidating all the important achievements we have reached over the past years, on July 15 we launched our new brand emphasizing that GOL will maintain its innovative features, introducing new products, services, technologies and customer care standards, positioning itself at the forefront of the aviation sector. That same day, we also celebrated the delivery of the hundredth aircraft received directly from Boeing with the new logo of the company.
We, the Team of Eagles, will relentlessly continue with dedication, focus and discipline, doing the best we can for our customers, our investors and our partners, getting prepared for the resumption of economic growth in Brazil. Thank you for your continued confidence.

2Q15 Earnings Release |
Domestic market – GOL
Domestic supply increased 2.0% over 2Q14 and 2.1% compared to 1H14, reflecting lower supply in 2Q14, when the Company reduced capacity during the 2014 FIFA World Cup held in Brazil.
Domestic demand increased by 4.7% in the quarter and 4.8% in 1H15, leading the domestic load factor to 78.0%, an increase of 2.0 p.p. compared to 2Q14, and 78.5%, an increase of 2.1 p.p. compared to 1H14.
During the quarter, GOL transported 8.9 million passengers in the domestic market and 18.5 million passengers accumulated over the year, representing an increase of 1.9% and 2.2%, both compared to the same period in 2014. For 1H15, GOL was once again the leading airline in the number of passenger transported in the Brazilian domestic market.
Even with reduced economic activity in the country, GOL remained the leader in tickets sold to corporate passengers in the Brazilian domestic market, with a share of 32.4% in the semester – according to the Brazilian Association of Corporate Travel Agencies (Abracorp).
International market - GOL
GOL’s international supply increased by 3.3% in the quarter and 11.1% in 1H15, compared to 2014. International demand showed an increase of 1.4% between April and June, registering load factor of 68.2%, and, in 1H15, an increase of 11.3%, leading the international load factor to 70.6%. The Company is adjusting its international network by changing frequency in some destinations and opening other international bases in order to capture market opportunities in the region.
During the quarter, GOL transported 463.3 thousand passengers in the international market, 2.8% less than in 2014. For 1H15, the Company transported 1.042 million passengers, an increase of 5.3% compared to the same period in 2014.
PRASK and Yield
Reflecting the economic activity slowdown in the country, the lower volume of corporate passengers and the increase of the number of leisure passengers stimulated by price variations, yield fell by 17.0% in the quarter and 12.6% in the first semester of the year. PRASK partially benefited due to increased load factor by 1.6 p.p. in 2Q15 and 1.8 p.p. in 1H15, dropping by 15.2% and 10.5% respectively, compared to the same period 2014.

*In accordance with CVM Instruction 527, the Company presents the reconciliation of EBIT and EBITDA, whereby: EBIT = net income (loss) plus income and social contribution taxes and the net financial result; and EBITDA = net income (loss) plus income and social contribution taxes, the net financial result, and depreciation and amortization. We also show the reconciliation of EBITDAR, given its importance as a specific aviation industry indicator, whereby: EBITDAR = net income (loss) plus income and social contribution taxes, the net financial result, depreciation and amortization, and aircraft operating lease expenses.
Net revenue
Total net revenue in 2Q15 was R$2,131.1 million, a decrease of 10.5%. The result was impacted by the lower volume of corporate passengers and the increase of the number of leisure passengers stimulated by price variations, and was partially benefited by increased demand and load factor in the period.
Passenger revenue, in turn, represented 86.7% of total net revenues, and decreased by 13.4% in the quarter due to lower activity in the economy and consequent lower volume of corporate passengers. International passenger revenue reached R$182.6 million in 2Q15, equivalent to 8.6% of the Company's total revenue.
Net cargo and other revenue amounted to R$284.3 million, representing 13.3% of total revenues and up 13.8% compared to 2Q14, due to the increase in cargo revenue and revenue from ticket rebooking, refunds and cancellations, as well as from revenues generated by the “GOL+ Conforto” product.

Aircraft fuels per ASK reached R$6.92, a decrease of 11.4% compared to 2014 or R$86.5 million mainly due to lower average per-liter fuel price in Reais. The jet fuel in reais partially benefited from the 38.8% fall in international prices in the quarter against the same period in 2014, but was impacted by the depreciation of the Real against the Dollar by 37.8%.
Salaries, wages and benefits per ASK reached R$3.31, up 17.6% compared to 2014 or R$66.0 million due to (i) R$22.9 million - an increase of approximately 7% in employees’ wages from the collective pay rise agreement; (ii) R$7.8 million - higher variable crew compensation by increasing flight hours; and (iii) R$2.4 million related to the internalization of employees in the areas of technology and cargo.
Aircraft leasing per ASK totaled R$2.06, a 12.3% increase or R$31.3 million compared to 2014, mainly due to four less operating lease aircraft and renegotiations of lease contracts that took place at the end of 2014, but it was partially negatively impacted by the depreciation of the Real against the Dollar by 37.8%.

2Q15 Earnings Release |
Sales and marketing per ASK registered R$1.23, down 11.2% or R$15.0 million compared to 2Q14, mainly due to (i) R$21.9 million fall in losses from direct sales channel; (ii) lower commission to travel agencies of R$7.6 million, reflecting the decline in the average ticket price and sales to corporate customers, partially offset by higher expenses of (i) R$4.2 million in advertising and marketing and (ii) losses for doubtful accounts of R$6.2 million.
Landing fees per ASK totaled R$1.36, a 11.4% increase year-over-year, or R$19.7 million, due to the passenger connection fee (fully implemented from July 2014) in all airports in which GOL operates in Brazil.
Aircraft and Traffic Servicing by ASK totaled R$2.05 in the period, up 18.1% or R$41.8 million, mainly due to (i) R$13.8 million with IT services in the domestic and international bases and (ii ) increase in the number of tickets purchased through peer airlines that will be reversed in future revenue of approximately R$21.2 million.
Maintenance materials and repairs per ASK came to R$1.07, down 18.7% or R$25.8 million compared to 2014 due to the aircraft maintenance calendar with fewer number of engines.
Depreciation and amortization per ASK reached R$0.82, a decrease of 23.2% or R$26.8 million year-over-year, due to the lower number of engines capitalized in the period in line with the Company’s maintenance calendar, as well as the end of the depreciation period of some engines in 2014.
Other expenses per ASK reached R$1.23, 27.3% or R$33.7 million more than in 2014, mainly due to: (i) R$4.5 million in increased expenses with the on-board service; (ii) reduction of R$16.1 in gains from sale leaseback operations in 2014 (3 aircraft in 2Q14 versus 2 aircraft in 2Q15); (iii) R$7.9 million in civil contingencies and (iv) R$9.6 million in civil and labor convictions.
Operating result
Operating loss (EBIT) in 2Q15 was R$251.1 million, with a negative operating margin of 11.8% - which is the end of the Company’s ninth consecutive quarter of evolution, reflecting the adverse scenario of the Brazilian economy. In the same period of 2014, the Company posted positive operating income of R$37.8 million with an operating margin of 1.6%.
Net financial result
In 2Q15, GOL recorded a positive net financial result of R$16.5 million, versus an expense of R$105.7 million in 2Q14. The improvement is mainly due to the net foreign exchange variation of R$205.6 million due to the appreciation of the Real against the Dollar by 3.3% compared the end of 1Q15, although this exchange rate had no immediate cash effect.
| Interest expense recorded R$185.6 million in the quarter, an increase of R$52.7 million or 39.7% from the same period last year, which totaled R$132.9 million. This increase was caused by the depreciation of the Real against the Dollar of 37.8% and the interest payment on debentures issued by Smiles S.A. to finance part of its R$1 billion capital reduction.

|
2Q15 Earnings Release |
| Net exchange variation totaled a positive R$205.6 million in 2Q15, compared to a positive R$50.4 million in the same period the previous year. The result is due to the exchange rate appreciation of 3.3% of the Real against the Dollar in the quarter compared to 1Q15, impacting the Company's balance sheet accounts, although it had no immediate cash effect.
| Interest income totaled R$19.8 million in the quarter, a decrease of R$5.6 million compared to 2Q14, which totaled R$25.4 million. The variation is explained by lower cash level at 27.1% in the quarter compared to the same period last year and the lower cash level in Real.
| Other financial expenses totaled R$23.2 million in the year, a decrease of 52.2% compared to the same period last year, which recorded R$48.5 million. The variation is explained by (i) the payment of the fees generated by the waiver obtained from the institutions holding the Company’s debentures IV and V due to non-compliance with financial covenants; and (ii) increase in bank fees between periods due to new funding.
Hedge Result
The Company makes use of hedge accounting to recognize some of its derivative instruments. In 2Q15, GOL recorded a book loss of R$10.3 million from hedge operations.

Loans and financing
The Company has been implementing an active liability management strategy to manage its debt in order to comply with its declared objective of avoiding large amortizations over the 2 years.
During 2Q15, the Company’s total loans and financings came to R$6.848.1 million (including financial leases), a decrease of 3.9% compared to 1Q15 mainly due to the appreciation of the Real of 3.3% in the period. The Company amortized R$536.5 million in debt in the year, of which R$352.2 million was from financial debt amortization and R$184.3 million from finance lease obligations. Funding issuances totaled R$297.7 million in the year, of which R$120.0 million, related to a new line of working capital loan and R$13.4 million, from a Finimp (Import Financing), were raised in the quarter.
The adjusted gross debt/EBITDAR (LTM) ratio reached 8,6x in 2Q15, versus 7,3x in 1Q15. This indicator was impacted by the lower accumulated profitability in the last twelve months as measured by EBITDAR, reflecting the adverse scenario of the Brazilian economy.
The average maturity of the Company's long-term debt in 2Q15, excluding aircraft financial leasing, the Smiles’ debentures and non-maturing debt, was 3.71 years, compared to 4.13 years in 1Q15, with an average rate of 17.11% for local-currency debt, versus 15.82% in 1Q15, and 7.67% for Dollar-dominated debt, versus 7.82% in 1Q15.
