Azul Announces Outlook for 2024 and 2025
São Paulo, 14 November 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, and introduces 2025 outlook, as follows:
| 2024 Forward Outlook | Previous Outlook | Updated Outlook |
| Total ASK vs. 2023 | +7% | +6% |
| EBITDA | Above R$6 billion | Above R$6 billion |
| 2025 Forward Outlook | New Outlook | |
| EBITDA | ~R$7.4 billion | |
| Net working capital | ~R$0.8 billion | |
| Aircraft ownership | ~R$4.1 billion | |
| Capex | ~R$1.7 billion | |
| Recurring cash flow | ~R$2.3 billion | |
| Interest | ~R$1.2 billion | |
| Free cash flow to firm | ~R$1.1 billion |
| 1. | Azul expects to increase capacity by approximately 6% in 2024 compared to 2023. The adjustment in year-over-year capacity growth is mainly due to the reduction in our domestic capacity as a result of the devastating floods in Rio Grande do Sul, the temporary reduction in our international capacity in the first half of the year; and manufacturers’ new aircraft delivery delays. |
| 2. | Azul estimates 2024 EBITDA to be above R$6.0 billion, as a result of the robust demand environment in both domestic and international markets, the positive trend in fuel prices and a higher number of fuel-efficient aircraft entering the fleet. |
| 3. | Azul estimates 2025 EBITDA to be R$7.4 billion, mainly due to strong travel demand, a rational competitive environment, and robust growth in our business units. In addition, the restructured financing plan, focused on improving liquidity and cash generation and reducing leverage, will allow Azul to achieve the results mentioned on the 2025 forward outlook above. |
All other projections contained in other materials are no longer valid. The Company also informs that, on this date, the projections previously disclosed in other materials and in its Reference Form regarding Leverage and Revenue are also being discontinued.
