MANAGEMENTS COMMENTS ON 3Q07 RESULTS |
The third quarter of 2007 was a period of growth, consolidation and innovation. GOLs best management practices are rationalizing VRGs costs to GOL levels. Fuel, leasing, maintenance, commercial and IT costs were reduced further in the quarter, and a new VARIG product was developed to serve the premium passenger segment. Our main focus was the re-launch of VRGs international operations. With the launch of our Paris and Rome routes, the signing of six interline agreements with international carriers and the launch of the new VARIG product, we hope to make flying an enjoyable experience for both Brazilian and international passengers, said Constantino de Oliveira Junior, GOLs president and CEO.
The Brazilian air transportation system is returning to regular and efficient standards of operation. The Companys top priority is the safety of its passengers and quality of its service. Following the accident at Congonhas airport in July, the Company reduced landings during peak hours by rerouting certain flights from Congonhas airport to Guarulhos airport, both in the city of São Paulo. In August, Brazilian authorities reduced operations and traffic at Congonhas airport. By the end of September, the Company had implemented adjustments to its flight network, redirecting connecting passengers through other airports and alleviating passenger traffic in the São Paulo airspace. The implementation of measures outlined by the airlines and the government in the third quarter represent the industrys long- term commitment to investing in infrastructure for the growth of the air passenger transportation market in Brazil, added Oliveira.
Passengers transported in 3Q07 increased 15.7% over 3Q06. Consolidated load factor decreased 17.6 percentage points to 61.2%, mainly due to the strong demand retraction experienced in August. Even in this challenging environment, the Company maintained high aircraft utilization rates of 13.4 block hours per day, while further reducing costs and maintaining market cost leadership.
Consolidated operating costs per ASK excluding fuel decreased 7.9% to 8.69 cents (R$) year-over-year. Fuel costs per available seat kilometer (ASK) decreased 19.4% year-over-year and helped to decrease total consolidated operating cost per seat kilometer (CASK) by 12.8% to 14.23 cents (R$). Cost reductions per ASK were also driven by lower selling expenses and lower landing fees. Our demonstrated ability to grow while continuing to reduce costs is a key success factor as we implement best practices into VRGs operations, modernizing and standardizing the fleet, rejuvenating an 80-year old brand and increasing operating and administrative productivity, added Richard Lark, GOLs executive vice president and CFO.
In terms of future performance, short and medium-term growth will be driven by the addition of new aircraft, new destinations and new frequencies. The addition of four B737-800 NG aircraft to the GTA fleet, and seven B737-800 NGs and six B767s to the VRG fleet in the third quarter of 2007 will increase 3Q07 ASKs by approximately 80%, as compared to the Companys capacity in the same quarter of 2006. During 4Q07, GTA will return two B737-300 and VRG will return six B737-300 aircraft.
GOL remains committed to its strategy of profitable expansion based on a low-cost structure and high quality customer service. We are very proud that 71 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, modern aircraft, frequent flights in major markets, an ever-expanding integrated route system and the lowest fares, all of which is made possible by our dedicated team of employees who are the key to our success," stated Oliveira. By remaining focused on our low-cost business model while continuing to grow, innovate and
- 4 / 23 -
provide the highest quality service through both GTA and VRG, we will continue to create value for our customers, employees and shareholders.
REVENUES |
Net operating revenues, principally revenues from passenger transportation, increased 20.4% to R$1.3bn, primarily due to a 71.6% increase in capacity and the incorporation of VRGs revenue, which generated 33.2% more revenue passenger kilometers (RPK), offset by lower yields and load factors. External factors related to events at the end of July at Congonhas airport generated a demand retraction that contributed to a load factor reduction. GOLs consolidated RPK growth was driven by a 43.9% increase in departures and an 18.6% increase in stage length, offset by a 17.6 percentage point decrease in load factor to 61.2% . Consolidated RPKs grew 33.2% to 5,470mm and revenue passengers grew 15.7% to 5.5mm.
Average fares increased 1.1% from R$217.9 to R$220.3 and yields decreased 11.7% to 21.7 cents (R$) per passenger kilometer, mainly due to an 18.6% increase in aircraft stage length. Consolidated operating revenues per ASK (RASK) decreased 29.9% to R$14.6 cents in 3Q07 (compared to R$20.8 cents in 3Q06).
The 71.6% year-over-year capacity expansion, measured by ASKs, facilitated the addition of 14 new daily flight frequencies for GTA in 3Q07, as well as four new daily flight frequencies for VRG. The addition of 39.7 average operating aircraft compared to 3Q06 (from 51.3 to 91.0 average aircraft) drove the ASK increase.
GTAs domestic market share averaged 38% and VRGs averaged 3% during the quarter. Through its regular international flights, GTA achieved an international market share of 14% (share of Brazilian airlines flying to international destinations) in the same period. VRGs international market share was 14%. Approximately 22.6% of consolidated RPKs were related to international passenger traffic in 3Q07.
Cargo transportation activities primarily contributed to the expansion of other operating revenues, increasing from R$72.8mm in 3Q06 to R$114.8mm in 3Q07.
OPERATING EXPENSES |
Total consolidated CASK decreased 12.8% to 14.23 cents (R$), due to lower selling expenses, a reduction in fuel expenses and lower landing fees expenses per ASK. Operating expenses per ASK excluding fuel decreased by 7.9% to 8.69 cents (R$). Total operating expenses increased 49.8%, reaching R$1,272.8mm, due to higher fuel expenses, increased air traffic servicing expenses, higher maintenance expenses and the expansion of the Companys operations (fleet and employee expansion as well as a higher volume of landing fees) and an increase in salaries, wages and benefits. The R$137.5mm increase in fuel expenses was due to an increase in fuel consumption, partially offset by a reduction in fuel price per liter in 3Q07. Breakeven load factor decreased two percentage points to 59.8% versus 61.8% in 3Q06.
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 decreased 19.4% over 3Q06 to 5.54 cents (R$), mainly due to lower fuel prices per liter and a proportionally more fuel efficient fleet (additional larger, winglet-equipped aircraft in the fleet) partially offset by an increase in fuel consumption. The decrease in average fuel price per liter versus 3Q06 was primarily due to an increase in international flights (with lower taxes on fuel) and an 11.5% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by increases of 6.8% in international crude oil (WTI) prices and 5.6% in Gulf Coast jet fuel prices (factors influencing the determination of Brazilian jet fuel prices). The Company has hedged approximately 37%, 7% and 6% of its fuel requirements for 4Q07, 1Q08 and 2Q08, respectively.
- 6 / 23 -
Salaries, wages and benefits expenses per available seat kilometer (ASK) increased 4.7% to 2.24 cents (R$) in 3Q07 -- primarily due to a 5% cost of living increase on salaries in December 2006 and a 79.4% increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees to 14,436 -- related to planned 3Q07 and 4Q07 capacity expansion and internalization of call center employees, partially offset by higher productivity per ASK in the quarter.
Aircraft rent per ASK increased 20.0% to 1.56 cents (R$) in 3Q07, primarily due to a lower aircraft utilization rate (6.3% less block hours per day) resulting from airport closings, flight delays and cancellations that affected the Brazilian air transportation industry during 3Q07, partially offset by an 11.5% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar.
Sales and marketing expenses per ASK decreased 54.1% to 1.11 cents (R$) due to reductions in percentage of commission paid to travel agencies that took effect in January 2007, and a reduction in marketing and advertising expenses. During the quarter, GTA booked a majority of its ticket sales through a combination of its website (78.6%) and its call center (9.7%) . VRG booked 8% of its sales on the web since the re-launch of its website on October 23.
Landing fees per ASK decreased 14.6% to 0.82 cents (R$), due to an 18.6% increase in average stage length, partially offset by an increase in landings at international airports (with higher tariffs).
Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses per ASK increased 3.4% to 0.90 cents (R$), mainly due to higher ground handling services expenses (landings increased 43.9%) and increases in consulting and technology services, partially offset by a higher average stage length.
Maintenance, materials and repairs per ASK increased 78.7% to 1.09 cents (R$), primarily due to a higher number of scheduled maintenance services during 3Q07, partially offset by an 11.5% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar. Main expenses during the quarter were related to the scheduled maintenance of 11 aircraft in the amount of R$53.3mm, the use of spare parts inventory in the amount of R$19.1mm and the repair of rotable materials in the amount of R$17.4mm.
Depreciation per ASK decreased 18.8% to 0.26 cents (R$), due to the dilution of expenses in a higher number of ASKs, partially offset by a higher amount of fixed assets (mainly spare parts inventory) and an increase of R$7.5mm related to depreciation of ten new 737-800 NG aircraft which entered the fleet between 4Q06 and 3Q07, and two 737-700 aircraft classified as capital leases.
Other operating expenses per ASK were 0.71 cents (R$), a 13.4% decrease when compared to the same period of the previous year, due to a decrease in travel expenses, lodging of flight crews and direct passenger expenses, as well as lower provisions related to allowance for doubtful accounts. Insurance expenses were 0.12 cents (R$) per ASK (R$11.1mm total), a 13.7% decrease over 3Q06.

COMMENTS ON EBITDA AND EBITDAR1 |
The impact of a 6.21 cent (R$) RASK decrease partially offset by a CASK decrease of 2.08 cents (R$) resulted in a decrease of EBITDA per available seat kilometer to 0.61 cents (R$) in 3Q07. EBITDA totaled R$53.9mm in the period compared to R$249.8mm in 3Q06 and R$(63.9)mm in 2Q07.

Aircraft rent represents a significant operating expense for the Company. As the Company today leases most of its aircraft, we believe that EBITDAR, equivalent to EBITDA before aircraft rent expenses (which are USD-denominated) is a useful measure of relative operating performance for users of our financial statements. On a per-ASK basis, EBITDAR was 2.17 cents (R$) in 3Q07, compared to 6.10 cents (R$) in 3Q06. EBITDAR amounted to R$193.4mm in 3Q07, compared to R$317.3mm in the same period last year and R$72.2mm in 2Q07.
_______________________
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.

Net financial income increased R$10.6mm and totaled R$ 31.6mm in 3Q07. Interest expenses increased R$8.7mm year-over-year primarily due to an increase in long-term debt and a higher amount of short-term working capital debt related to growth in operations. Interest income increased R$19.5mm primarily due to a higher volume of cash and short-term investments versus 3Q06 and was partially offset by a 3.1 percentage point reduction in average Brazilian interest rates (as measured by the CDI rate).

OUTLOOK |
GOL continues to invest in its successful low-cost business model. We continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our operations by adding new flights in Brazil, as well as expanding into other high-traffic centers internationally. We expect to benefit from economies of scale as we continue to add new aircraft to our already well-established and highly efficient operating network. We expect to reduce our non-fuel cost per available seat-kilometer (CASK) as we continue to reduce the age of our fleet, operate an even more fuel efficient fleet, benefit from the cost savings associated with our Aircraft Maintenance Center, and improve upon our cost-efficient distribution channels. Through the VARIG brand name, VRG is providing an attractive service offering to business travelers in the domestic market and offer new services to high-traffic international destinations in South America, North America and Europe.
The air passenger transportation market in Brazil remains largely under-penetrated, and increasing available seats at low fares is important for the continued development of the sector and the economy. The scheduled net addition of two aircraft to the GTA fleet and seven to the VRG fleet in the fourth quarter of 2007 will permit an 80% increase in available seat capacity over GOLs reported capacity in 4Q06.
For the fourth quarter of 2007, we expect consolidated load factors in the range of 64 to 66% (a 3 to 5 point increase versus 3Q07) with consolidated passenger yields in the range of R$22-24 cents (an increase of approximately 6% versus 3Q07). For the fourth quarter, we expect consolidated non-fuel CASK to be in the range of R$8.4 cents. We expect that the incorporation of larger, more fuel-efficient aircraft will reduce our fuel costs per ASK by approximately 1% in 4Q07 in year-over-year comparison.
- 12 / 23 -
We expect a stable foreign exchange rate environment for the near term, supported by good economic fundamentals in the Brazilian economy.
In the full-year 2007, we plan to increase revenues nearly 40% while reducing unit costs by more than 10%. We expect to stimulate air travel demand in the middle and lower income segments through our innovative payment mechanisms. Financial guidance for 2007 is based on planned capacity expansion and the expected high demand for our passenger transportation services both domestically and internationally, driven by strong Brazilian economic fundamentals and demand-stimulating fares. We plan to finish the year with 103 aircraft in the combined GTA and VRG fleets. Our planned ASK increase of approximately 76% will allow us to adequately serve expected passenger demand and add new routes and markets in Brazil, South America, Europe and North America in 2007 and 2008. Average load factors for the year are expected to be in the 64 to 66% range. Passenger yields are expected to decrease approximately 13% in the full-year 2007, primarily due to an increase in stage length; RASK in the full-year comparison is expected to decrease approximately 21%.
Our projections are for a 2007 full-year EPS in the range of R$1.40 to R$1.80, reflecting the impact of lower loads and yields. Full-year non-fuel CASK is expected to be in the R$8.4 cent range, a reduction of 10% versus 2006. Fuel costs per ASK are expected to decrease over 10% in the year due to larger, more fuel-efficient aircraft and lower fuel prices. Full-year operating margins are expected to be in the 5 to 8% range. We plan to continue to popularize air travel through expansion, technological innovation, improved operating efficiency, strict cost management, the lowest fares and high quality passenger service.
The Company has reviewed its full-year guidance to account for expected 4Q07 results. GOLs old and new guidance for full-year 2007 can be found in the table below:
