Azul Announces Updated Outlook for 2024

 

São Paulo, September 9, 2024 – Azul S.A., “Azul”, (B3: AZUL4, NYSE: AZUL), the largest airline in Brazil by departures and cities served, announces today an update to its expected results for 2024, as follows:

 

Forward Outlook Previous Outlook Updated Outlook
Total ASK vs. 2023 +7% +7%
2024 EBITDA Above R$6 billion Above R$6 billion
2024 Leverage¹ ~4.2x ~4.2x
2024 Revenue - ~R$20 billion

¹Includes cash and cash equivalents, short- and long-term investments and receivables. Excludes convertible instruments.

 

1.Azul expects to increase capacity by approximately 7% in 2024 compared to 2023. The adjustment in year-over-year capacity growth is mainly due to:
(i)the reduction in our domestic capacity as a result of the Rio Grande do Sul floods in May and the closure of Porto Alegre Airport, with a partial reopening expected in October;
(ii)a temporary reduction in our international capacity in the first half of the year; and
(iii)manufacturers’ delays in new aircraft deliveries.

 

2.Azul estimates 2024 EBITDA to be above R$6 billion, lower than the previous projection mainly due to the reduction in capacity growth mentioned above.

 

3.Azul expects leverage around 4.2x at the end of 2024, as a result of the updated EBITDA, in addition to the devaluation of the Brazilian real against the dollar, which impacts our dollar-denominated debt.

 

4.Azul estimates revenue of R$20 billion in 2024, a result driven by a healthy demand environment, robust ancillary revenues and the growth of its business units.

 

 

Any other guidance not included in this material fact is now discontinued.

 

Azul will keep investors and the general market updated.
