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.
