Exhibit 99.1    
Copa Holdings Reports Second-Quarter Financial Results
Panama City, Panama --- August 5, 2026. Copa Holdings1, S.A. (NYSE: CPA), today announced financial results for the second quarter (2Q26), reflecting the resilience of the Company's business model and disciplined execution amid a significantly higher jet fuel price environment. Key highlights include
Operating profit of US$91.7 million and an operating margin of 8.7%, a 13.1 percentage point decrease year over year.
Net profit of US$68.2 million or US$1.67 per share, a 53.9% year‑over‑year decrease in earnings per share.
Operating revenue increased 25.7% year over year.
Passenger yields increased 8.7% year over year to 12.6 cents, and revenue per available seat mile (RASM) increased 7.9% to 11.6 cents compared to 2Q25, while capacity in ASMs increased by 16.5% year over year.
Load factor of 86.7%, compared to 87.3% in 2Q25.
Operating cost per available seat mile excluding fuel (Ex-Fuel CASM) decreased 0.1% year over year to 5.7 cents.
The Company ended the quarter with approximately US$1.5 billion in cash, short-term and long-term investments, which represent 39% of the last twelve-month revenues.
The Company ended 2Q26 with a Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.9x.
During the quarter, the Company took delivery of 4 Boeing 737-MAX 8 aircraft to end the quarter with a total fleet of 131 aircraft.
Copa Airlines had an on-time performance for the quarter of 90.6% and a flight completion factor of 99.8%, once again positioning the airline among the best in the industry.

Subsequent events
On August 5, 2026, the Board of Directors of Copa Holdings ratified its third dividend payment for the year of US$1.71 per share. Dividends will be paid on September 15, 2026, to shareholders on record as of August 31, 2026.
On July 4, 2026, Copa Airlines operated its first flight equipped with Starlink onboard internet, becoming the first airline in Latin America to offer high-speed Starlink connectivity. The Company expects to complete the installation of Starlink Wi-Fi across its entire fleet by the first half of 2027.
In July, Copa Airlines published schedules reflecting its transition from six to eight connecting banks at its Hub of the Americas® in Panama City. This new bank structure, starting in March 2027, will provide passengers with greater flight options and improved connectivity while increasing aircraft utilization and better use of airport facilities, thereby further consolidating the leadership position of the Hub of the Americas® in the region.

Management’s comments on 2Q26 results
Copa Holdings’ second quarter results demonstrate the resilience of its business model in a significantly higher jet fuel price environment. Despite an 84.8% year-over-year increase in average fuel prices, the Company delivered an operating profit of US$91.7 million and an operating margin of 8.7%, while maintaining a very strong liquidity position. The quarter also highlights the strength of air travel demand across the Company’s network, with revenues increasing 25.7%, driven by 16.5% capacity growth and a 7.9% year-over-year increase in unit revenues (RASM) to 11.6 cents.
For the second quarter, passenger yields increased 8.7% year over year, and load factor reached 86.7%. While demand across the network remained strong, travel patterns were temporarily affected by the World Cup during June. This resulted in a lower June load factor and an estimated 0.1-cent impact on quarterly RASM.
Cost per available seat mile excluding fuel (CASM Ex-Fuel) decreased 0.1% year over year to 5.7 cents, reflecting the Company’s continued cost discipline, while total CASM increased 26.0% to 10.6 cents as a result of significantly higher fuel prices.
Despite having approximately 40% of its second-quarter bookings already sold prior to the increase in fuel prices, strong demand and higher yields enabled the Company to recover approximately 40% of the year-over-year increase in fuel expenses during the quarter.
Copa Holdings continues to maintain a strong liquidity and balance sheet position, ending the quarter with approximately US$1.5 billion in cash, short-term and long-term investments, representing 39% of the last-twelve-month revenues, and a Net Debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 0.9 times. During the quarter, the Company took delivery of four Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, ending the period with a fleet of 131 aircraft.
Copa Airlines once again showed industry-leading operational reliability, delivering for the quarter an on-time performance of 90.6% and a completion factor of 99.8%, among the very best in the world.
The Company remains focused on leveraging its Hub of the Americas® to deliver the most comprehensive and convenient intra-Americas network. The recently announced transition from six to eight connecting banks, starting in March 2027, will increase connectivity, improve aircraft utilization, and provide passengers with more travel options, further strengthening Panama’s position as the leading hub for intra-Americas travel. Together with the ongoing rollout of Starlink across the fleet, which recently made Copa the first airline in Latin America to offer Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi, these initiatives further enhance the Company's competitive advantages and passenger experience.
Copa’s proven business model, built on the strategic geographic position of Panama, structurally low unit costs, a passenger-friendly product, including the continent’s best on-time performance, and a strong balance sheet, positions the Company well to navigate the current fuel price environment and continue generating profitable growth and long-term shareholder value.

Outlook for 2026
While fuel prices remain elevated and volatile relative to prior-year levels, underlying demand across the network continues to be strong.

Operating revenue
Consolidated revenue for 2Q26 totaled US$1.1 billion, a 25.7% increase compared to 2Q25, driven by capacity growth and higher unit revenues.
Passenger revenue totaled US$1.0 billion, an increase of 25.8% year-over-year, as a result of a 15.7% increase in RPMs and an 8.7% increase in passenger yield.
Cargo and mail revenue totaled US$34.2 million, up 20.8%, due to higher cargo volumes, which includes the full-year effect of a second freighter.
Other operating revenue totaled US$22.5 million, a 32.4% increase compared to 2Q25, mostly due to an increase in ConnectMiles revenues from non-air partners.
Operating expenses
Consolidated operating costs for 2Q26 totaled US$967.7 million, a 46.8% increase year over year, primarily due to higher fuel expenses.
Fuel totaled US$449.6 million, an increase of 110.0%, driven by an 84.8% higher average fuel price and a 14.2% increase in gallons consumed. Fuel represented approximately 46% of operating expenses during the quarter, compared to approximately 32% in 2Q25.
Wages, salaries, benefits, and other employee expenses totaled US$131.4 million, up 7.4% mostly reflecting additional operational staff to support capacity growth, partially offset by an adjustment in variable compensation.
Passenger servicing totaled US$29.0 million, up 15.2%, driven by a 15.1% increase in onboard passengers.
Airport facilities and handling charges totaled US$77.3 million, a 19.6% year-over-year increase, mainly driven by increased departures, higher fees in certain airports and the appreciation of certain Latin American currencies.
Sales and distribution totaled US$57.4 million, a 16.1% increase mostly due to higher sales, partially offset by a reduction in the Company’s distribution costs as a result of higher penetration of both direct sales and lower-cost NDC travel agency channels.
Maintenance, materials, and repairs totaled US$42.1 million, a 16.4% increase compared to 2Q25, mainly driven by a 15.7% increase in flight hours.
Depreciation and amortization totaled US$107.5 million, a 21.6% year-over-year increase, due to new aircraft and higher amortization of airframe and engine maintenance events.
Flight operations totaled US$42.8 million, a 30.7% year-over-year increase, mainly driven by a 16.0% increase in block hours, higher overflight rates in certain countries, the appreciation of certain Latin American currencies, and the year-over-year effect of the reversal of provisions in 2Q25.
Other operating and administrative expenses totaled US$30.6 million, a 16.2% increase compared to the same period in 2025, driven by higher capacity.

Finance income totaled US$16.5 million, related to proceeds from investments.
Gain (loss) on foreign currency fluctuations totaled US$(0.9) million, driven by the devaluation of certain currencies, partially offset by the appreciation of the Brazilian real and the Colombian peso during the quarter.
