MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON THE 4Q23 RESULTS
The fourth quarter of 2023 was a strong quarter for the Company. Copa Holdings’ leading financial performance was the result of its consistent execution in lowering ex-fuel unit costs and increasing revenues, plus a continued robust demand environment in the region.
Operating revenues for 4Q23 increased 3.0% to US$916.9 million mainly driven by higher capacity. The Company’s load factor came in at 86.7% or 0.1 percentage points above 4Q22 on an 11.0% increase in ASM’s year over year, while yields came in at 14.0 cents or 7.1% lower than 4Q22. As a result, passenger revenues per ASM (PRASM) decreased 7.1% in the quarter to 12.2 cents and RASM decreased 7.3% to 12.7 cents.
Operating expenses for 4Q23 increased by 4.0% to US$698.1 million mainly driven by the 11.0% increase in capacity compared to 4Q22, partially offset by lower fuel and sales and distribution costs. Aircraft fuel expenses decreased by 3.6% or US$9.7 million compared to 4Q22, due to a 12.7% lower jet fuel price, partially offset by 10.2% more gallons consumed, and despite higher year-over-year passenger traffic figures, sales and distribution costs decreased by 10.4% due to higher penetration of direct sales and lower-cost travel agency channels. Consequently, cost per available seat mile (CASM) came in at 9.7 cents, a decrease of 6.3% compared to 4Q22, and costs excluding fuel (Ex-fuel CASM) came in at 6.0 cents, a 1.6% decrease when compared to the same period in 2022.
As a result, Copa Holdings reported an operating profit of US$218.9 million and a 23.9% operating margin for the quarter.
Thanks to the Company’s consistent focus on delivering low costs and strong financial results, Copa Holdings reported a full-year operating profit of US$811.8 million, a 23.5% operating margin, and a net profit of US$518.2 million. Excluding special items, comprised of a net loss related to the Company’s convertible notes as well as changes in the value of financial investments totaling US$156.9 million, Copa Holdings would have reported an adjusted net profit of US$675.1 million.
The Company continues to have a solid balance sheet as it closed the year with US$ 1.2 billion in cash, short-term and long-term investments, which represent 34% of the last twelve months’ revenues. Total debt and lease liabilities at the end of 4Q23 amounted to US$1.7 billion, while our Adjusted Net Debt to EBITDA ratio closed the year at 0.5 times.
Copa Holdings’ fourth quarter and full year results are the product of a solid and well-executed business model, which is built on operating the best and most convenient network for intra-Latin America travel from its Hub of the Americas® based on Panama’s advantageous geographic position, low unit costs, best on-time performance, and a strong balance sheet. Going forward, the Company expects to leverage its strong balance sheet, leading liquidity position, and lower cost base to continue strengthening its long-term competitive position by implementing initiatives that will further reinforce its network, product, and cost competitiveness.
OUTLOOK FOR 2024
For 2024, the Company is providing the following outlook*: Consolidated capacity is expected to grow by approximately 10%** year over year, and operating margin is expected to come within a range of 21% to 23%.

NON-IFRS FINANCIAL MEASURE RECONCILIATION
This press release includes the following non-IFRS financial measures: Adjusted Net Profit, Adjusted Basic EPS, and Operating CASM Excluding Fuel. This supplemental information is presented because we believe it is a useful indicator of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our performance with other companies in the airline industry. These measures should not be considered in isolation and should be considered together with comparable IFRS measures, in particular operating profit, and net profit. The following is a reconciliation of these non-IFRS financial measures to the comparable IFRS measures:
