Hello, everyone, and a warm welcome to the LATAM Airlines Group First Quarter 2025 Earnings Conference Call. Before I turn the call over to management, I'd like to remind you that certain statements in this presentation and during the Q&A may relate to future events and expectations, and as such, constitute forward-looking statements. Any matters discussed today that are not historical facts, particularly comments regarding the company's future plans, objectives and expected performance or guidance, are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on a range of assumptions that LATAM believes are reasonable, but are subject to uncertainties and risks that are discussed in detail in the published 20-F, 2025 updated guidance, earnings release, financial statements and related CMF and SEC filings. The company's actual results may differ significantly from those projected or suggested and any forward-looking statements due to a variety of factors, which are discussed in detail in our SEC filings. And if there are any members of the press on the call, please note that for the media, this is a listen-only call. I will now hand over to CFO, Ricardo Bottas. Please go ahead.

Thank you. Hello, everyone, and good morning. Welcome to our first quarter 2025 conference call and thank you all for joining us today. My name is Ricardo Bottas and I am the CFO of LATAM Airlines Group. Here with me is Roberto Alvo, our CEO; Andres Valle, Corporate Finance Director; and Tori Creighton, Head of Investor Relations. And we will present our highlights and results for this first quarter. I will hand it over to Roberto to share opening remarks about the quarter's highlights. Once finished, I will present them in more detail alongside the financial results.

Good morning, everyone, and thank you for joining us today. This quarter marked a strong start to the year for LATAM Group. The group transported over 21 million passengers and expanded capacity by 7.3% year-over-year, all while maintaining healthy load factors across our network. On the financial front, we delivered record profitability with adjusted EBITDAR reaching nearly $1 billion, a record for the company and both operating and EBITDAR margins at the highest levels to date. Net income totaled $355 million, up 38% year-over-year and the strongest first quarter result in LATAM's history. Behind these results, it's a commitment to our customers. The group has continued to invest in elevating the travel experience from modernizing cabins and expanding WiFi connectivity across the fleet to enhancing digital services and operational reliability. These are not one-off improvements, but part of a consistent strategy to offer a better, more connected and more personalized journey. This is the core of our value proposition to be the airline of choice in South America not only because of the breadth of our network, but because the LATAM Group delivers a superior experience across every step of the journey and it is in large part possible due to the hard work of all 39,000 LATAM Group employees that are committed to this shared purpose. Operationally, the group continued to execute with discipline, growing capacity while maintaining healthy load factors across all markets. Customer satisfaction reached record levels confirming the progress made in elevating our travel experience. On the financial side, LATAM delivered outstanding results supported by revenue growth, cost control and favorable fuel dynamics. Profitability reached record levels for our first quarter reflecting the strength of our business model. Furthermore, following continued cash generation, LATAM is in a position to carry out shareholder return focused capital allocation initiatives. Shareholders approved distribution of dividend and LATAM has launched its first-ever share repurchase program signaling management's belief that current stock price is undervalued. In parallel, we recently announced that the relevant authorities have approved the inclusion of Argentina within the scope of our joint venture agreement with Delta Airlines, further strengthening our strategic partnership. Looking ahead, we're raising our full year guidance reflecting our strong financial performance and the confidence in our outlook. This update is supported by the group's operational flexibility and cost containment abilities as well as continued demand strength observed across the group's domestic and international markets. Particularly, booking trends for the second quarter, which historically the seasonally weakest, remained very healthy and are better than the levels observed at the same point last year. We also see a favorable competitive environment across our core markets where LATAM Group is strengthening its network and capturing demand opportunities. Having said all that, we are aware that we face a dynamic macroeconomic environment. LATAM is not exempt from global challenges, including fuel price volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, foreign exchange fluctuations, potential disruptions in cross-border traffic of goods and potentially slower global economic activity. We're actively tracking developments and we're working on taking measures to minimize potential effects. Should they occur, we reserve the right to change or suspend our guidance in case developments have an effect that merits it. Nonetheless, a strong capital structure, a diversified revenue base, a broad flexible network and the relative advantages that LATAM Group has are key pillars that allow us not only to deliver strong results today, but also to be well prepared for the uncertainties of tomorrow. Thank you for your time. I'd like to turn the call over to Ricardo to further discuss the operational and financial results.

Thank you, Roberto. So let's move to the next slide, Slide 4. In terms of operational performance, LATAM Group continues to show solid year-over-year growth across all segments. During the first quarter, as Roberto just mentioned, the group transported over 21 million passengers representing an increase of 3.6% versus the same period in 2024. Capacity in ASKs grew by 7.3% supported mainly by international operations, which expanded by 10.7% year-over-year confirming our ability to allocate capacity strategically in high demand markets. Load factors remained healthy across all segments with the consolidated load factor reaching 83.3%. In terms of consolidated revenues per ASK, we observed a 5.3% decrease year-over-year basically related to currency depreciation in some of our key domestic markets and capacity increase in our international operations. In Brazil, although RASK decreased by 12.4% in dollar terms impacted by foreign exchange, when we look at the performance in local currency, we see a positive trend with domestic Brazil RASK increase by 3.9% reflecting resilient demand and stable pricing in these relevant markets. Spanish speaking countries posted an 11% RASK increase in local currency. This performance reinforced the strength of LATAM Group's diversified network and its ability to balance out localized volatility, maintaining profitability through strategic geographic exposure. Turning to the next slide, Slide 5. The financial results achieved underscore the group's ongoing commitment to enhancing customer satisfaction. As of the end of the quarter, LATAM Pass, our loyalty program, reached a milestone having now over 50 million members. Revamped in 2025, LATAM Pass now offers an innovative experience with more options for earning and redeeming miles and greater ease of access to Elite status as well as the opportunity to customize rewards as members reach intermediate milestones. These enhancements are aimed at increasing engagement to reward and incentivize member activity throughout the year. With regard to our fleet, almost 90% of the narrow body fleet has been equipped with WiFi. In parallel, the cabin retrofit program continues to advance with 100% of the narrow body fleet operating domestic and international intra-South America flights, already incorporating premium economy cabins and reaching 61% of the wide body fleet with upgraded aircraft interiors to offer a more modern, comfortable and connected travel experience to our customers. In addition, in April LATAM Group launched the new business class suites for its wide body fleet. This new offering elevates the comfort even further by introducing suite doors, the first of its kind in South America, for a world-class product with full privacy. The group recently launched its new signature check-in experience in the Santiago de Chile International Airport aimed at providing faster, more personalized and seamless services for premium passengers. We have also announced an investment for a new launch at Guarulhos Airport in Sao Paulo to be opened in 2027. As a result of these ongoing investments, customer satisfaction continued to improve. In the first quarter, our NPS reached 56 points, the highest in LATAM's history; and 61 points among premium travelers. This improvement in satisfaction is delivering concrete financial benefits. In the first quarter, the revenue contribution from premium travelers increased by 7% compared to the same period in 2024. Moving on to the financial results on Slide 6. Total revenues reached $3.4 billion, a 2.7% increase year-over-year supported by stable passenger demand. Passenger revenues increased by 1.6% and cargo revenues grew almost 10%. On the cost side, the group continues to improve efficiency and deliver cost discipline. Adjusted costs ex-fuel increased by only 1.6% despite a 7.3% increase in capacity reflecting strong cost containment efforts and productivity gains across the operation together with a slight benefit from currency depreciation in some of our key markets like Brazil, which helped reduce the dollar-denominated portion of our cost base. These combined effects allowed us to maintain our unit cost base ex-fuel at competitive levels. The execution of our cost containment strategy was a key driver of margin expansion, which combined with a 4.9% year-over-year decline in jet fuel costs even as capacity increased, played a central role in delivering this quarter's record margin performance. Adjusted EBITDAR reached $962 million representing a 20.9% increase compared to the same quarter last year while adjusted EBITDAR margin expanded by 4.3 percentage points to 28.2%, a clear sign of improving operating leverage and efficiency. Net income was $355 million, a 37.6% increase year-over-year marking the highest first quarter profit in LATAM's history. The net income margin reached 10.4%, up more than 2.6 percentage points compared to the first quarter of 2024. These results confirm the execution of the strategy, which combines profitable growth, continued focus on efficiency and cost control, strong operating margins, and solid return on capital. On the next slide, Slide 7. Following the strong margin performance we saw this quarter, it's important to highlight that LATAM's cost discipline is not new. It's the result of a consistent long-term approach that's embedded in our daily operations and our yearly goals. Over the years, we have implemented a structural cost strategy grounded in 3 pillars: digital and data-driven tools, business simplification, and a more efficient flexible fleet. These efforts and the commitment from our team have allowed us to sustain a stable unit cost base through changing environments. While local currency depreciation has provided a modest tailwind, our ability to consistently contain unit cost over time is primarily the result of disciplined execution and structural efficiencies. As a result, adjusted passenger CASK ex-fuel has remained stable over time reaching $0.04 in Q1 2025 and $0.041 on the last 12 months reinforcing our ability to deliver sustainable growth, investing in customer experience and improving our NPS. Now moving to Slide 8. Looking now at our trailing 12 months performance, LATAM continues to build on its consistent financial momentum. Adjusted EBITDAR over the last 12 months reached $3.3 billion showing steady growth quarter after quarter. This represents not only the strongest EBITDAR in our recent history, but also a clear sign of the long-term sustainability of our business model. We have seen this improvement driven by multiple factors; a healthy demand environment, disciplined cost execution, and ongoing optimization of our network and fleet. This level of recurring profitability enables us to continue investing in customer experience, fleet growth and upgrades, and sustainability, all while maintaining strong liquidity and delivering value to its shareholders. Turning to cash generation on Slide 9, next slide. LATAM delivered another quarter of solid performance reinforcing our ability to self-fund growth while preserving financial strength. In the first quarter, LATAM generated $189 million in net cash bringing our ending cash balance to $2.1 billion. Our positive cash generation is driven by strong adjusted operating cash flow of almost $600 million, 40% higher than in the first quarter of 2024, and disciplined capital management. During the quarter, we continued investing in fleet growth and maintenance while covering our interest expenses and financial obligations. The uptick in growth CapEx this quarter reflects the acquisition of 6 A321 aircraft previously registered as operating leases. This purchase is in the process of being refinanced, which will offset the associated cash impact once completed in the upcoming quarters. Additionally, it's important to mention that we began to see the benefits of the bond refinancing executed in October of 2024, which contributed to lower interest expense. Financial debt interest payments during the quarter were $43 million lower when compared with the first quarter of 2024. As we look ahead, we are confident that our operations will remain generating cash throughout the year, providing the flexibility to support strategic initiatives, reinvest in the business, and return value to shareholders. Let's move now to Slide 10 to discuss our capital structure, which remains one of LATAM's greatest strengths on both an absolute and relative basis. At the end of the first quarter, we reported liquidity of $3.7 billion equivalent to 28.4% of last 12 months' revenues, a level that places us well above our financial policy and our internal target range and provides significant flexibility to manage through cycles and capture future opportunities. In terms of leverage, we closed the quarter with an adjusted net leverage ratio of 1.5x from 1.7x late last year. This strong capital structure allows us to pursue a balanced financial strategy; investing in growth, enhancing our product and customer experience, and returning capital to shareholders, all while maintaining robust credit metrics that have been consistently improving in the last 2 years. Most recently, S&P and Fitch ratings upgraded LATAM to BB reinforcing the confidence the market has in the strategy of the company. We are also well positioned in terms of debt maturities with no material nonfleet maturities until 2029 and continued access to committed revolving credit lines. As we move forward, we will remain focused on protecting the solid financial position while continuing to optimize the cost of capital and explore further financial opportunities. Moving to Slide 11. And as a result of the strong liquidity position, LATAM has taken steps forward to return almost $450 million of capital to its shareholders. On March 24, the company's shareholders approved the distribution of a dividend totaling $293 million, which was paid in April. This payment corresponds to the legally required 30% minimum distribution under Chilean corporate law. In addition, LATAM received approval to initiate a share repurchase program for up to 9.7 billion shares equivalent to 1.6% of the outstanding shares to be executed over the next 18 months. This program is currently being executed through a block mechanism on the Santiago Stock Exchange. The repurchase was launched for the total of 1.6% of the shares at a price of CLP 15.02 per share, which implies a potential distribution to shareholders close to $153 million, which is expected to be concluded tomorrow. Together, these initiatives illustrate LATAM's balanced capital allocation strategy combining disciplined investments in future growth with a consistent effort to deliver value to shareholders supported by a strong balance sheet and liquidity levels. Let's now move to Slide 12. So please join me on Slide 12 for an important update. As LATAM Group enters and, just like Roberto mentioned at the beginning, we enter the next part of this year; the fundamentals of the business remain solid with a diversified and extensive network and flexible fleet, a competitive cost structure, and a robust capital position. LATAM is pleased to report that it has been closely monitoring bookings and as of this day and during the past weeks, passenger booking trends and cargo sales have remained stable. With this, LATAM is adjusting its guidance for the full year 2025, including its capacity and sales guidance as well as guidance on key financial indicators due to the strong results of this first quarter and the current stable demand environment. The company now expects an adjusted operating margin between 13% and 15%, up from a range of 12% and 13.5% in the previous guidance issued on December 3 last year. Together with this, LATAM forecasts an adjusted EBITDAR between $3.4 billion and $3.75 billion, up from $3.25 billion to $3.6 billion as compared to the previous guidance for 2025. In terms of liquidity and capital structure, we are updating our expectations to close this year with adjusted levered free cash flow above $1.2 billion, up from above $1 billion; an improvement on our liquidity levels from $3.9 billion to now $4.1 billion; and also reducing our forecasted adjusted leverage to be below 1.5x from a previous guidance of below 1.7x. However, the current scenario makes it very difficult to forecast the market's macroeconomic expectations and uncertainties, which could impact passenger and cargo demand due to potential tariff impact. Any relevant change could affect international passenger and airfreight demand from and to the United States as well as passenger cargo demand in other regions including to, from and within Latin America. While we remain confident in our trajectory, we are mindful of the evolving macroeconomic environment. We continue to monitor key external factors such as fuel prices, FX volatility, and geopolitical trends and remain prepared to adapt with discipline and flexibility if needed. Before we move to the Q&A session, let me just briefly recap the main takeaways from this strong quarter on Slide 13. We kicked off the year with solid momentum transporting over 21 million passengers and growing capacity by 7.3%, a clear reflection of both operational agility and sustained demand across our network. On the financial front, we delivered record profitability with $355 million in net income and almost $1 billion in adjusted EBITDAR supported by a profitable growth strategy, a continued cost discipline, and lower fuel costs. From a customer perspective, the group achieved the highest satisfaction scores to date, which speaks to the impact of our investment in fleet, onboard experience, digital services and a strong commitment from the more than 39,000 employees of the group to deliver the best services and experience to our customers. At the same time, we reinforced our commitment to shareholders, distributing $293 million in dividends and launching a share repurchase program for over $150 million; all while maintaining a solid balance sheet, a strong liquidity above $3.7 billion and a healthy level of adjusted net leverage of 1.5x. And lastly, LATAM's upward revision of its full year guidance incorporates the strong margin expectations supported by disciplined cost management and a stable demand environment.

Our first question comes from Michael Linenberg with Deutsche Bank.

Two questions. Congrats on the really solid results. Roberto, I want to pose the first question to you. Just a few weeks ago, the IMF lowered global GDP growth by 0.5%, which is a significant revision. Typically, revisions are around 0.1% to 0.2%. We've observed airlines worldwide withdrawing guidance, many forecasting a much more challenging outlook, and yet you raised your numbers, increased margins, and upgraded your guidance. I'm interested in how much of this is due to your primary market and competition, and whether the economic pressures will affect weaker carriers more significantly. Is your thinking that if a slowdown occurs, it will impact everyone but disproportionately affect the weaker carriers, creating more opportunities for you? Is the idea that the rich get richer part of your forecast, suggesting that even if conditions worsen, LATAM will outperform the competition? Currently, you're the only carrier indicating a better outlook compared to most others.

Michael, you said you had 2 questions. You want to ask the second one after I answer?

Yes, that's what I'll do. I'll do a quick second.

All right. And thanks for the question. I think it's a really good question. So a couple of comments. First, we have not seen to date in our bookings or in our cargo revenues any relevant impact from all the announcements and the news that we have seen from the Northern Hemisphere coming. I believe that on the one hand, our markets are not following necessarily the dynamics that you see in the U.S. We don't have DOGE for example and I think in general we haven't seen those trends and we remain so far pretty isolated and relatively confident that even though this may impact us going forward and the world altogether, it doesn't look today and as per the bookings we have that it's something that we are overly concerned in the short term. Having said that, of course this can change and that's why we remain vigilant. And to your point, yes, I would agree with you in general. But let me say something important here, you see growth in our forecast there. But the important thing is we don't chase market share, we chase growth where we can win. So we are very specific and targeted in finding our strengths and investing where our strengths are. I do believe today that we have something I'd like to call relative advantage, which is the strength of our numbers vis-a-vis the rest of the industry and particularly in the region. So even though the uncertainty may affect the industry in general, I think that LATAM has positioned itself both from a financial perspective and from a network perspective in the right place to take advantage of volatility. So even though we remain cautious in terms of the overall impact that this may have, we have the ability today to be very targeted in where we grow and how we improve our network and our position further. And I believe that's one of the key advantages that we have created over the last 2 years, which we expect to exploit if the conditions are right.

Great. And then just my second question, this is just a little bit more nuanced. Across the region, I know in the past Colombia domestic had been one of the weaker markets. Maybe things are stabilizing there. As you look across your region, where are the strong points? Where are the weak points? I know we've sort of heard that Argentina now is maybe becoming one of the better if not the best performing markets in the region. Just any color on that. How things have sort of evolved since the last quarter?

Sure. Yes, in the last 2 quarters, we pointed out that we thought that domestic Colombia was under excess of capacity. I think that that has stabilized in the last 2 months. Capacity for the whole industry has been negative in terms of growth in the last months and therefore, the market is in a slightly more healthy position than it was in the previous 6 months. Across the rest of the domestic market, in general, we see good strong demand in a stable environment. I would say that the weakest point is today Ecuador, which is very small for us; but is basically related to the geopolitical issues or the political issues and safety issues they have there, but it's a very minor part of our operation even though it still remains healthy. International has been very strong particularly international travel within South America where most of our international growth has been focused, less so in the long haul the growth just because we don't have the fleet. But when we see long haul, we see good performance both in Transpacific, Europe and the U.S. being Europe and Transpacific slightly better than the U.S. So in general, I would say that the markets have remained stable and domestic Colombia, which was a little bit of a pain point, has relatively improved through the last 6 months. Lastly on cargo, we have seen a very strong end of 2024 albeit a very weak first half of 2024. The first half of 2025 has been stable in general, a little bit less active than the end of 2024. It's also very seasonal. The second half of the year is much better than the first half of the year in cargo. And we have seen so far no impact of the tariffs that are imposed basically in the U.S. with respect to cargo traffic. However, we're very mindful of the de minimis waiver that ends on May 2 and we're monitoring if that will have an effect on cargo traffic and particularly on capacity going forward. But so far, sales have remained in a good place.

Our next question comes from Gabriel Rezende with Itau BBA.

Regarding the guidance, it's actually a follow-up to the previous question. I was just wondering how much have you guys been positively surprised by the 4Q numbers as you have been? Just trying to understand whether the better guidance for the year reflects a better first quarter and the next 9 months should be pretty much the same as you guys were expecting or if you guys are seeing better than anticipated figures in the coming quarters as well? Just trying to understand what you have put into the guidance in that sense. And also regarding the guidance, you are posting a CASK ex-fuel that is already below what you are guiding for the full year. So the overall feeling is that your guidance might have some room to be upside. Am I correct? Those are my 2 questions.

So with respect to your first question, we have good visibility, good bookings visibility for the remainder of the second quarter and in general, we see positive trends and stable demand throughout most of our business units. And that gives us confidence that despite the uncertainty we've seen around the world, this has not made an impact on our demand trends in this part of the world. Having said that, and I probably forgot to mention this when Michael asked the question, I think that an important driver also of our improved numbers is that we are seeing a better share of premium traffic coming our way. We have devoted a significant amount of effort and time and investments to enhance our product, improve our product throughout the experience of the customer. And as Ricardo mentioned it in his words, premium revenue is increasing far faster than total passenger revenue has been increasing. Passenger revenue increased only 1.6% in the quarter, premium revenue increased over 7% and I think that's a distinctive change that we have made in the last few years. We're focusing more on a segment of the market where we believe there was willingness to pay that not necessarily we had understood as we are understanding it today and this is an important part of our focus going forward. And for the remainder of the year, we're following long-term trends. And as far as the information we have, again we feel confident on what we're seeing. But as I said in my script, in my remarks, we remain vigilant and if there's anything that merits any change in our guidance, we'll post it when appropriate if it happens. For the cost part, I'll turn it to Ricardo.

Okay. Thank you, Gabriel, for your question. I think we also disclosed for the updated guidance the assumptions that we have for jet fuel price, which is $90 per barrel. So yes, it will depend on the scenarios. We could have some upside, but also downside risks to this guidance considering this level of fuel price as well as the FX exchange rate that we also disclosed on this guidance at BRL 5.9 per $1. Okay.

Our next question comes from Jens Spiess with Morgan Stanley.

Congrats on the strong results. I just wanted to follow up on the previous question. Basically on the cost print you had this quarter and the guidance you're providing for the full year, I was looking that you had some benefit from like lower maintenance costs. You explained in your release that part of it is driven by a reversal of redelivery provisions due to acquisition of aircraft. I think it was like $32 million. That obviously is probably not sustainable, right? So are there any other items we need to adjust for? And also you had in other expenses apparently some FX benefits. If you could maybe elaborate on what percentage of those expenses are denominated in local currency, it would be quite useful.

Okay. Jens, it's Ricardo here. Thanks for your question. I think the maintenance adjustment that we have disclosed, it's related to the 6 aircraft acquisition and it's just a move from an operational leasing structure to a financing leasing structure. So we disclosed just to let you aware about, but we are still confident that we could also manage to control under efficiency, digitalization and other many initiatives that we have inside the company to keep controlling the costs. But I think it's important to share with you that reversion in provisions. We are focused on continued cost savings initiatives. So we have a lot of initiatives not only for the back office and admin expenses costs, but also for maintenance and other relative operating costs inside the company. So we are adding to this forecast and our confidence for the guidance that yes, we still have a long journey to keep controlling and find alternatives to even reduce even more the costs. On this period of the first quarter, we had an impact of $0.002 from the FX. So we also need to understand the real outcomes for the FX over the final ex-fuel cost, but I think it's also important to emphasize. And from the another relevant part of the cost which is fuel, we disclosed our performance in terms of the way that we could reduce the cost of fuel. But remember, we improved the CASK and the capacity by 7%. So actually the consumption in barrels was up 5% and the average price was down close to 10%. So the average was a reduction that we have disclosed in our financials. And after all, we disclosed no specific figures for the exposure that we have for the U.S. denominated part of our costs. But together with fuel, we are talking about around 7% of our total costs could be denominated in U.S. dollars. But remember that we have from our mix of revenues, including international and the U.S. and Europe point of sales and also a relevant part of revenues also denominated in hard currency, which could represent more than 60% of our total revenues. Okay?

Okay. Perfect. And the $0.002 you mentioned on your CASK ex-fuel benefit from the FX, that's year-over-year, right?

Yes.

The next question comes from Joao Frizo with Goldman Sachs.

Congrats on the results. I had 2 quick questions and 1 follow-up. So on the guidance itself, you guys are expecting an even better than expected leverage ratio by the end of this year. So I just wanted to understand what would make you guys consider announcing an extraordinary dividend. I know this is a fluid situation, right, in the macro globally, but the leverage path seems to be on track and you guys guided for below 2x leverage in your Investor Day. So this opens room for maybe an extraordinary dividend. I just wanted to get a sense on that. My second question is around the selling shareholders, right? If you guys could provide an update on their willingness and timing of those guys potentially selling more shares into the market. And finally, just a quick follow-up on the guidance. Your jet fuel expectations remain unchanged. I just wanted to double check if that accounts for the hedges you guys undertook in the period or that is excluding hedges? And then if you could provide what would be the adjusted jet fuel accounting for hedges, that would be nice as well.

Okay. Joao, thank you for your question. I think regarding our liquidity levels and the dividend decisions, actually remember that we are sharing with the market our discussions with the Board of Directors regarding the capital allocations, which could include additional dividends, but also other structures to have an additional repurchase of shares. So we are having that kind of discussions with the Board. And yes, we depend on the final decision from the Board and also the way that we are seeing our figures and the forecast figures complying with the financial policy and the guidance that we have provided. But yes, we are comfortable with the liquidity situation that we have to have that kind of discussions with our Board. Regarding the shareholder decisions to have a secondary or a follow-on, I think it's more on the shareholders' decision. So we have no information and if we got that information from shareholders, we will let the market be aware. Okay? And your last question, just remind me was related to the share of the hedge that we have for fuel or for FX?

Yes. It was just to double check whether the jet fuel price you guys provided in the guidance accounts for the hedges you guys took or if there might be some upside to that price as you guys maybe did hedges in the falling jet fuel environment?

I cannot provide specific details about price and size. However, we have shared in the earnings release the average part of our consumption forecast for the next four quarters, which is partially covered by a hedge. What I can say is that the $90 per barrel aligns with our strategy and takes into account the impact from hedge outcomes. This is why we feel confident asserting a range with low volatility. We are committed to achieving and working within this guidance supported by the $90 per barrel.

The next question comes from Ewald Stark with BICE Investors.

Congratulations for the results. My first question is with regard to yields in the international segment, which were pretty strong. I would want to ask what do you expect going forward? Second question is about growth expectations from Brazil, which were listed against previous guidance. But up to this point, industry figures provided by ANAC and LATAM figures show modest growth in the first quarter. So when you could expect that RASK growth will converge to the guidance of LATAM Airlines?

So on the first question, so please remember that our International business segment is comprised both of long haul and international business in South America and you have to see those 2 segments separately in terms of their dynamics. But what we have put on the guidance is our expectation in general of, as I said, stable demand and a good growth environment particularly in regional. So we don't disclose going forward yields and RASK per business area or for the company, but their expectations are embedded in the guidance altogether. And with respect to domestic Brazil, so first, the slight improved capacity that we have posted here is purely based on utilization and fleet usage. So we're not adding more assets to our fleet during 2025 vis-a-vis of what we had expected. This is simply a better utilization of the current assets we have. And looking at the environment in Brazil, which is on a demand perspective stable and on a capacity perspective as well stable, we see good opportunities to reinforce where we have strength. And what the guidance is reflecting is the opportunities that we see where we can improve the product and the network for our passengers.

Okay. Perfect. I want to follow up on that last answer. How do you perceive competition in Brazil, considering that competitors like Gol and Azul are anticipating higher growth rates in capacity for the passenger segment? Although Gol and Azul do not provide a breakdown of domestic and international air travel, it seems they expect to grow at rates exceeding those of LATAM Airlines.

I don't like to comment on capacity growth of our competitors. That's their decision and their strategy. What I focus on is our own operation and particularly where we have strength. So what I think is important in terms of our strategy here is that we do invest where we know we can win and the focus that we have in growing in domestic Brazil is in the places where we believe we can enhance our network and bring a better product for our passengers. So we'll see how it develops during the year, but we're very confident in our position and what we have built and developed over the last 2 years in domestic Brazil and we're looking forward to trying to have a better product and a better network for our passengers during the year.

The next question comes from Stephen Trent with Citigroup.

My first question is a follow-up to the previous speaker. When considering Brazil's domestic market and your guidance, are you essentially assuming that the competitive environment remains stable for the rest of the year as it is now, without any repercussions from the ticket fraud issues related to Despegar? I would like to know your thoughts on that overall.

We see a positive demand environment in domestic Brazil and a general sense of capacity discipline in the market. We recognize our strengths and areas for improvement in our network, which is where we're focusing our efforts. Regarding Despegar, I don’t believe those dynamics impact the larger market, which is significantly beyond Despegar's size. I'm very confident in what we've built over the past two to three years in domestic Brazil. We're investing where we excel and capitalizing on a stable demand environment.

Great, I appreciate that. Just a quick follow-up. I really value the insight you provided on foreign exchange, assuming it will be somewhat weaker. Can you share your thoughts on why there were no adjustments made to the fuel guidance? I understand you have hedges in place around $2.14 a gallon for the year. In the first quarter, you reported $2.80, and the difference between hedged and unhedged was only $0.01 a gallon. I'm curious to hear more about the $90 per barrel benchmark that's included in the guidance.

Stephen, Andres here. Yes, the $90 a barrel is what we see here. If you look at the last year, I think fuel prices were all over the map. We have been asked frequently whether this could be an upside. As Ricardo said, could be a downside too. But $90 a barrel, today is at the spot prices at $86 and the curve is around those levels. So we feel confident with that $90 a barrel for jet fuel for the full year.

Our next question comes from Pablo Monsivais with Barclays.

Just wanted to pick your brain on, it seems that U.S. carriers are pulling out capacity. Have you seen any material impact on the international routes you operate? Is this an opportunity for you to increase capacity or how you plan to navigate on this condition? That's my first question. And my second question is if you can provide some color in terms of the demand from transatlantic routes and within each point of sale.

One important thing to remember is that the Southern Cone has historically been less exposed to regulatory traffic to the U.S. compared to the northern part of South America, Central America, and Mexico. Consequently, the impact that other countries further north have experienced regarding traffic to the U.S. is not as significant for the Southern Cone as it is in the northern part of our subcontinent. We have observed only minor changes in demand for travel to the U.S. from our home markets. Although we are closely monitoring this situation, it doesn't currently seem impactful. Additionally, we have a joint venture with Delta that provides good diversification regarding what we offer in South America compared to what they offer in the U.S. Overall, even though the U.S. market is somewhat slower than transatlantic and transpacific markets, it remains in a good position, and the impact from recent news affecting the U.S. has been relatively low. In terms of transatlantic demand, it has been strong between South America and Europe over the past two years, benefiting from robust participation from both European and South American markets. There’s nothing particularly noteworthy to report regarding these two trends, as they appear to be stable on both sides.

Our next question comes from Guilherme Mendes with JPMorgan.

Two quick ones. The first one, you mentioned that demand remains good so the outlook overall remains pretty solid. But assuming some kind of demand deterioration, what kind of capacity and fleet flexibility would you have in terms of the delivery schedule from Airbus and Boeing? And the second one, a follow-up on Brazil domestic. A lot of talks on the potential M&A between Azul and Gol and if you have any preliminary views on how LATAM could be impacted?

On the first question, so remember that when we saw and we reported this last year when we saw delays on the Airbus side and also issues with the Pratt & Whitney engines, we took the decision of extending an important number of 319s and keep operating them. These are very low capital cost aircraft that run almost on 100% variable cost basis today and it's the flexibility we have decided to keep within the fleet to either compensate for slowdowns or increase speed in the case of us seeing better demand. So we have the ability to adjust our capacity with that fleet in particular and we don't expect that if there's a slowdown, we'll see or want to have any changes with respect to Airbus deliveries. What we would do eventually is decrease the utilization of those very low cost of capital assets to adjust if that was the case and was necessary. And we like very much this flexibility of having something between 5% and 10% of our capacity, which is running on almost 100% variable cost basis. That allows us to move in this way. And with respect to Gol and Azul, I mean we've seen the news on the nonbinding LOI for quite a while already and I don't think it's our position to speculate. If there's further news on that, we will react. At this point in time, we still believe it's premature to have a reaction on those potential nonbinding conversations for now.

Thank you. Those are all the questions we have and so I'll turn the call back over to Ricardo to conclude.

So thank you all for joining today. If you have any further questions, please reach out to our Investor Relations team and have a great day. Thank you.

Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. This concludes our call and you may now disconnect.
