Table of Contents

Changes in the scope of consolidation between January 1, 2014 and September 30, 2015, are detailed below:

 

(1) Incorporation or acquisition of companies

 

    Lan Pax Group S.A., a subsidiary of Latam Airlines Group S. A., was the direct owner of 55% of Aerolane Líneas Aéreas Nacionales del Ecuador S.A.. During 2014, Lan Pax Group S.A. obtained 100% of the economic rights in Aerolane, through its participation in the company Holdco Ecuador S.A., who is the owner of the 45% remaining of Aerolane. By this Lan Pax Group S.A. is the owner of 20% of shares with voting rights and is owner of 100% with the economic rights of Holdco Ecuador S.A.. As Latam Airlines Group S. A. was controlled Aerolane Líneas Aéreas Nacionales del Ecuador S.A. through Lan Pax Group S.A. for accounting purposes, this transaction was recorded as a transaction with non-controlling interests.

 

    In November 2014, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. acquires the remaining 50% shares of Lufthansa Lan Technical Training S.A. becoming in subsidiary. Subsequently it changed the business name to Technical Training LATAM S.A.

 

(2) Dissolution of companies

 

    In December 2014, the Company Ediciones Ladeco América S.A. subsidiary of Lan Cargo S.A. was dissolved.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following describes the principal accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

 

2.1. Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. are for the period ended September 30, 2015, and have been prepared in accordance with Standards an Instructions by Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance (“SVS”), which, except as provided by its Office Circular No. 856, as detailed in the following paragraph are in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) incorporated therein and with the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Standards Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).

On September 26, 2014 the law No. 20,780 was promulgated, and on September 29, 2014 was published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Chile, which introduces modifications to the tax system in Chile concerning income tax, among other matters. In relation to the Law, on October 17, 2014 the SVS issued Office Circular No. 856, in which it decided that the restatement of assets and liabilities by deferred income taxes that occur as a direct effect of the First- Category Tax rate increase introduced by Law No. 20,780 (Tax reform) will be held in equity and not as indicates the IAS 12. In notes 2.17 and 17 the criteria and impacts related to the registration of the effects of the reform and the implementation of the Circular cited are detailed.

Table of Contents

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historic-cost criterion, although modified by the valuation at fair value of certain financial instruments.

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with described above requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to use its judgment in applying the Company’s accounting policies. Note 4 shows the areas that imply a greater degree of judgment or complexity or the areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements. These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under IAS 34.

The Company’s management believes that the adoption of the standards, amendments and interpretations described above but not yet effective would not have had a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in the year of their first application.

 

2.2. Basis of Consolidation

 

(a) Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries are all the entities (including special-purpose entities) over which the Company has the power to control the financial and operating policies, which are generally accompanied by a holding of more than half of the voting rights. In evaluating whether the Company controls another entity, the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible at the date of the consolidated financial statements are considered. The subsidiaries are consolidated from the date on which control is passed to the Company and they are excluded from the consolidation on the date they cease to be so controlled. The results and flows are incorporated from the date of acquisition.

Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains on transactions between the Company’s entities are eliminated. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment loss of the asset transferred. When necessary in order to ensure uniformity with the policies adopted by the Company, the accounting policies of the subsidiaries are modified.

Table of Contents

To account for and identify the financial information to be revealed when carrying out a business combination, such as the acquisition of an entity by the Company, shall apply the acquisition method provided for in IFRS 3: Business combination.

 

(b) Transactions with non-controlling interests

The Company applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not related to loss of control, as equity transactions without an effect on income.

 

(c) Sales of subsidiaries

When a subsidiary is sold and a percentage of participation is not retained, the Company derecognizes assets and liabilities of the subsidiary, the non-controlling and other components of equity related to the subsidiary. Any gain or loss resulting from the loss of control is recognized in the consolidated income statement in Other gains (losses).

If LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries retain an ownership of participation in the sold subsidiary, and does not represent control, this is recognized at fair value on the date that control is lost, the amounts previously recognized in Other comprehensive income are accounted as if the Company had disposed directly from the assets and related liabilities, which can cause these amounts are reclassified to profit or loss. The percentage retained valued at fair value is subsequently accounted using the equity method.

 

(d) Investees or associates

Investees or associates are all entities over which LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries have significant influence but have no control. This usually arises from holding between 20% and 50% of the voting rights. Investments in associates are booked using the equity method and are initially recognized at their cost.

 

2.3. Foreign currency transactions

 

(a) Presentation and functional currencies

The items included in the financial statements of each of the entities of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is the United States dollar which is also the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.

 

(b) Transactions and balances

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on the transaction dates. Foreign currency gains and losses resulting from the liquidation of these transactions and from the translation at the closing exchange rates of the monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are shown in the consolidated statement of income by function except when deferred in Other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.

 

8


Table of Contents
(c) Group entities

The results and financial position of all the Group entities (none of which has the currency of a hyper-inflationary economy) that have a functional currency other than the presentation currency are translated to the presentation currency as follows:

(i) Assets and liabilities of each consolidated statement of financial position presented are translated at the closing exchange rate on the consolidated statement of financial position date;

(ii) The revenues and expenses of each income statement account are translated at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates, and

(iii) All the resultant exchange differences by conversion are shown as a separate component in Other comprehensive income.

The exchange rates used correspond to those fixed in the country where the subsidiary is located, whose functional currency is different to the U.S. dollar.

Adjustments to the Goodwill and fair value arising from the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange rate or period informed.

 

2.4. Property, plant and equipment

The land of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries is recognized at cost less any accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the Property, plant and equipment are registered, initially and subsequently, at historic cost less the corresponding depreciation and any impairment loss.

The amounts of advance payments to aircraft manufacturers are capitalized by the Company under Construction in progress until receipt of the aircraft.

Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements, extensions, etc.) are included in the value of the initial asset or shown as a separate asset only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the elements of Property, plant and equipment are going to flow to the Company and the cost of the element can be determined reliably. The value of the component replaced is written off in the books at the time of replacement. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to the results of the year in which they are incurred.

Depreciation of Property, plant and equipment is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated technical useful lives; except in the case of certain technical components which are depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown.

The residual value and useful life of assets are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, once per year.

When the carrying amount of an asset is higher than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is reduced immediately to its recoverable amount (Note 2.8).

Losses and gains on the sale of Property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the compensation with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.

Table of Contents
2.5. Intangible assets other than goodwill

 

(a) Brands, Airport slots and Loyalty program

Brands, Airport slots and Coalition and Loyalty program are intangible assets of indefinite useful life and are subject to impairment tests annually as an integral part of each CGU, in accordance with the premises that are applicable, included as follows:

Airport slots – Air transport CGU

Loyalty program – Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus CGU

Brand – Air transport CGU

(See Note 15)

The airport slots correspond to an administrative authorization to carry out operations of arrival and departure of aircraft at a specific airport, within a specified period.

The Loyalty program corresponds to the system of accumulation and redemption of points that has developed Multiplus S.A., subsidiary of TAM S.A.

The Brands, airport Slots and Loyalty program were recognized in fair values determined in accordance with IFRS 3, as a consequence of the business combination with TAM and Subsidiaries.

 

(b) Computer software

Licenses for computer software acquired are capitalized on the basis of the costs incurred in acquiring them and preparing them for using the specific software. These costs are amortized over their estimated useful lives, for which the Company has been defined useful lives between 3 and 10 years.

Expenses related to the development or maintenance of computer software which do not qualify for capitalization, are shown as an expense when incurred. The personnel costs and others costs directly related to the production of unique and identifiable computer software controlled by the Company, are shown as intangible Assets others than Goodwill when they have met all the criteria for capitalization.

 

2.6. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the Company’s participation in the net identifiable assets of the subsidiary or associate on the acquisition date. Goodwill related to acquisition of subsidiaries is not amortized but tested for impairment annually. Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include the book amount of the goodwill related to the entity sold.

 

10


Table of Contents
2.7. Borrowing costs

Interest costs incurred for the construction of any qualified asset are capitalized over the time necessary for completing and preparing the asset for its intended use. Other interest costs are recognized in the consolidated income statement when they are accrued.

 

2.8. Losses for impairment of non-financial assets

Intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life, and developing IT projects, are not subject to amortization and are subject to annual testing for impairment. Assets subject to amortization are subjected to impairment tests whenever any event or change in circumstances indicates that the book value of the assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recorded when the book value is greater than the recoverable amount. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. In evaluating the impairment, the assets are grouped at the lowest level for which cash flows are separately identifiable (CGUs). Non-financial assets other than goodwill that have suffered an impairment loss are reviewed if there are indicators of reverse losses at each reporting date.

 

2.9. Financial assets

The Company classifies its financial instruments in the following categories: financial assets at fair value through profit and loss and loans and receivables. The classification depends on the purpose for which the financial instruments were acquired. Management determines the classification of its financial instruments at the time of initial recognition, which occurs on the date of transaction.

 

(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are financial instruments held for trading and those which have been designated at fair value through profit or loss in their initial classification. A financial asset is classified in this category if acquired mainly for the purpose of being sold in the near future or when these assets are managed and measured using fair value. Derivatives are also classified as held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. The financial assets in this category and have been designated initial recognition through profit or loss, are classified as Cash and cash equivalents and Other current financial assets and those designated as instruments held for trading are classified as Other current and non-current financial assets.

 

(b) Loans and receivables

Loans and receivables are non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments not traded on an active market. These items are classified in current assets except for those with maturity over 12 months from the date of the consolidated statement of financial position, which are classified as non-current assets. Loans and receivables are included in trade and other accounts receivable in the consolidated statement of financial position (Note 2.12).

The regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date – the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the asset. Investments are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs for all financial assets not carried at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets carried at fair value through profit or losses are initially recognized at fair value,

 

11


Table of Contents

and transaction costs are expensed in the income statement. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the investments have expired or have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership.

The financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value. Loans and receivables are subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

At the date of each consolidated statement of financial position, the Company assesses if there is objective evidence that a financial asset or group of financial assets may have suffered an impairment loss.

 

2.10. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities

Derivatives are booked initially at fair value on the date the derivative contracts are signed and later they continue to be valued at their fair value. The method for booking the resultant loss or gain depends on whether the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and if so, the nature of the item hedged. The Company designates certain derivatives as:

(a) Hedge of the fair value of recognized assets (fair value hedge);

(b) Hedge of an identified risk associated with a recognized liability or an expected highly- Probable transaction (cash-flow hedge), or

(c) Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting.

The Company documents, at the inception of each transaction, the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, as well as its objectives for managing risk and the strategy for carrying out various hedging transactions. The Company also documents its assessment, both at the beginning and on an ongoing basis, as to whether the derivatives used in the hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged.

The total fair value of the hedging derivatives is booked as Other non-current financial asset or liability if the remaining maturity of the item hedged is over 12 months, and as an other current financial asset or liability if the remaining term of the item hedged is less than 12 months. Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as Other financial assets or liabilities.

 

(a) Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of designated derivatives that qualify as fair value hedges are shown in the consolidated statement of income, together with any change in the fair value of the asset or liability hedged that is attributable to the risk being hedged.

 

(b) Cash flow hedges

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is shown in the statement of other comprehensive income. The loss or gain relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in the consolidated statement of income under Other gains (losses). Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified to profit or loss in the periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.

 

12


Table of Contents

In case of variable interest-rate hedges, the amounts recognized in the statement of Other comprehensive income are reclassified to results within financial costs at the same time the associated debts accrue interest.

For fuel price hedges, the amounts shown in the statement of Other comprehensive income are reclassified to results under the line item Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge is used.

For foreign currency hedges, the amounts recognized in the statement of Other comprehensive income are reclassified to income as deferred revenue resulting from the use of points, are recognized as Income.

When hedging instruments mature or are sold or when they do not meet the requirements to be accounted for as hedges, any gain or loss accumulated in the statement of Other comprehensive income until that moment remains in the statement of other comprehensive income and is reclassified to the consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized. When it is expected that the hedged transaction is no longer going to occur, the gain or loss accumulated in the statement of other comprehensive income is taken immediately to the consolidated statement of income as “Other gains (losses)”.

 

(c) Derivatives not booked as a hedge

The changes in fair value of any derivative instrument that is not booked as a hedge are shown immediately in the consolidated statement of income in “Other gains (losses)”.

 

2.11. Inventories

Inventories, detailed in Note 10, are shown at the lower of cost and their net realizable value. The cost is determined on the basis of the weighted average cost method (WAC). The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

 

2.12. Trade and other accounts receivable

Trade accounts receivable are shown initially at their fair value and later at their amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method, less the allowance for impairment losses. An allowance for impairment loss of trade accounts receivable is made when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover all the amounts due according to the original terms of the accounts receivable.

The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the debtor, the probability that the debtor is entering bankruptcy or financial reorganization and the default or delay in making payments are considered indicators that the receivable has been impaired. The amount of the provision is the difference between the book value of the assets and the present value of the estimated future cash flows, discounted at the original effective interest rate. The book value of the asset is reduced by the amount of the allowance and the loss is shown in the consolidated statement of income in Cost of sales. When an account receivable is written off, it is charged to the allowance account for accounts receivable.

 

13


Table of Contents
2.13. Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, time deposits in financial institutions, and other short-term and highly liquid investments.

 

2.14. Capital

The common shares are classified as net equity.

Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or options are shown in net equity as a deduction from the proceeds received from the placement of shares.

 

2.15. Trade and other accounts payables

Trade payables and other accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at amortized cost.

 

2.16. Interest-bearing loans

Financial liabilities are shown initially at their fair value, net of the costs incurred in the transaction. Later, these financial liabilities are valued at their amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds obtained (net of the necessary arrangement| costs) and the repayment value, is shown in the consolidated statement of income during the term of the debt, according to the effective interest rate method.

Financial liabilities are classified in current and non-current liabilities according to the contractual payment dates of the nominal principal.

 

2.17. Current and deferred taxes

The expense by current tax is comprised of income and deferred taxes.

The charge for current tax is calculated based on tax laws in force on the date of statement of financial position, in the countries in which the subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income.

Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability method, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their book values. However, if the temporary differences arise from the initial recognition of a liability or an asset in a transaction different from a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not affect the accounting result or the tax gain or loss, they are not booked. The deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the consolidated financial statements close, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability discharged.

 

14


Table of Contents

Deferred tax assets are recognized when it is probable that there will be sufficient future tax earnings with which to compensate the temporary differences.

According to the instructions of Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance in his Office Circular No. 856 of October 17, 2014, the effects on assets and liabilities by deferred tax as a result of the rate increase of the First Category Tax approved by Law No. 20,780 (tax reform) about deferred income tax, according to IAS 12 should be imputed to income (loss) of period, have been classified as Retained earnings, under Retained earnings. The subsequent amendments shall be recognized in income (loss) of period according to IAS 12.

Except as mentioned in the previous subparagraph, the tax (current and deferred) is recognized in income by function, unless it relates to an item recognized in Other comprehensive income, directly in equity or from business combination. In that case the tax is also recognized in Other comprehensive income, directly in income by function or goodwill, respectively.

 

2.18. Employee benefits

 

(a) Personnel vacations

The Company recognizes the expense for personnel vacations on an accrual basis.

 

(b) Share-based compensation

The compensation plans implemented by the granting of options for the subscription and payment of shares are shown in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS 2: Share based payments, showing the effect of the fair value of the options granted as a charge to remuneration on a straight-line basis between the date of granting such options and the date on which these become vested.

 

(c) Post-employment and other long-term benefits

Provisions are made for these obligations by applying the method of the projected unit credit method, and taking into account estimates of future permanence, mortality rates and future wage increases determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. The discount rates are determined by reference to market interest-rate curves. Actuarial gains or losses are shown in other comprehensive income.

 

(d) Incentives

The Company has an annual incentives plan for its personnel for compliance with objectives and individual contribution to the results.

(i) The Company has a present legal or implicit obligation as a result of past events;

 

(ii) It is probable that payment is going to be necessary to settle an obligation; and

 

(iii) The amount has been reliably estimated.

 

2.20. Revenue recognition

2.21. Leases

 

(a) When the Company is the lessee – financial lease

The Company leases certain Property, plant and equipment in which it has substantially all the risk and benefits deriving from the ownership; they are therefore classified as financial leases. Financial leases are initially recorded at the lower of the fair value of the asset leased and the present value of the minimum lease payments.

Every lease payment is separated between the liability component and the financial expenses so as to obtain a constant interest rate over the outstanding amount of the debt. The corresponding leasing obligations, net of financial charges, are included in Other financial liabilities. The element of interest in the financial cost is charged to the consolidated statement of income over the lease period so that it produces a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each year. The asset acquired under a financial lease is depreciated over its useful life and is included in Property, plant and equipment.

 

(b) When the Company is the lessee – operating lease

Leases, in which the lessor retains an important part of the risks and benefits deriving from ownership, are classified as operating leases. Payments with respect to operating leases (net of any incentive received from the lessor) are charged in the consolidated statement of income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

 

2.22. Non-current assets or disposal groups classified as held for sale

Non-current assets (or disposal groups) classified as assets held for sale are shown at the lesser of their book value and the fair value less costs to sell.

 

2.23. Maintenance

The costs incurred for scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft’s fuselage and engines are capitalized and depreciated until the next maintenance. The depreciation rate is determined on technical grounds, according to the use of the aircraft expressed in terms of cycles and flight hours.

In case of own aircraft or under financial leases, these maintenance cost are capitalized as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of aircraft under operating leases, a liability is accrued based on the use of the main components is recognized, since a contractual obligation with the lessor to return the aircraft on agreed terms of maintenance levels exists. These are recognized as Cost of sales.

Additionally, some leases establish the obligation of the lessee to make deposits to the lessor as a guarantee of compliance with the maintenance and return conditions. These deposits, often called maintenance reserves, accumulate until a major maintenance is performed, once made, the recovery is requested to the lessor. At the end of the contract period, the balance between paid reservations and conditions agreed with levels of maintain in delivering, offsetting the parties if applicable.

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to results as incurred.

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

 

3.1. Financial risk factors

The Company is exposed to different financial risks: (a) market risk, (b) credit risk, and (c) liquidity risk. The program overall risk management of the Company aims to minimize the adverse effects of financial risks affecting the company.

 

(a) Market risk

Due to the nature of its operations, the Company is exposed to market factors such as: (i) fuel-price risk, (ii) exchange -rate risk, and (iii) interest -rate risk

The Company has developed policies and procedures for managing market risk, which aim to identify, quantify, monitor and mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market factors mentioned above.

For this, the Administration monitors the evolution of price levels and rates, and quantifies their risk exposures (Value at Risk), and develops and implements hedging strategies.

 

(i) Fuel-price risk:

Exposition:

For the execution of its operations the Company purchases a fuel called Jet Fuel grade 54 USGC, which is subject to the fluctuations of international fuel prices.

Mitigation:

To cover the risk exposure fuel, the Company operates with derivative instruments (swaps and options) whose underlying assets may be different from Jet Fuel, being possible use West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) crude, Brent (“BRENT”) crude and distillate Heating Oil (“HO”), which have a high correlation with Jet Fuel and are highly liquid.

Fuel Hedging Results:

During the nine months ended at September 30, 2015, the Company recognized losses of US$ 198.9 million on fuel derivative. During the same period of 2014, the Company recognized losses of US$ 5.0 million for the same reason.

 

18


Table of Contents

At September 30, 2015, the market value of its fuel positions amounted to US$ 54.5 million (negative). At December 31, 2014, this market value was US$ 157.2 million (negative).

The following tables show the level of hedge for different periods:

Sensitivity analysis

A drop in fuel price positively affects the Company through a reduction in costs. However, also negatively affects contracted positions as these are acquired to protect the Company against the risk of a rise in price. The policy therefore is to maintain a hedge-free percentage in order to be competitive in the event of a drop in price.

The current hedge positions they are booked as cash flow hedge contracts, so a variation in the fuel price has an impact on the Company’s net equity.

The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the financial instruments according to reasonable changes in the fuel price and their effect on equity. The term of the projection was defined until the end of the last current fuel hedge contract, being the last business day of the second quarter of 2016.

The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$ 5 per barrel in the curve of the BRENT and JET crude futures benchmark price at the end of September, 2015 and the end of December, 2014.

Table of Contents

Given the fuel hedge structure during the first half of 2015, which considers a hedge-free portion, a vertical fall by 5 dollars in the BRENT and JET benchmark price (the monthly daily average), would have meant an impact of approximately US$ 87.14 million in the cost of total fuel consumption for the same period. For the first half of 2015, a vertical rise by 5 dollars in the BRENT and JET benchmark price (the monthly daily average) would have meant an impact of approximately US$ 83.98 million of increased fuel costs.

 

(ii) Foreign exchange rate risk:

Exposition:

The functional and presentation currency of the Financial Statements of the Parent Company is the United States dollar, so the risk of Transactional exchange rate and Conversion arises mainly from its own operating activities of the business, strategic and accounting of the Company are denominated in a different currency than the functional currency.

LATAM Subsidiaries are also exposed to currency risk that impacts the consolidated results of the Company.

Most currency exposure of LATAM comes from the concentration of business in Brazil, which are mostly denominated in Brazilian Real (BRL), being actively managed by the company.

Additionally, the company manages the economic exposure to operating revenues in Euro (EUR) and Pound Sterling (GBP).

In lower concentrations the Company is therefore exposed to fluctuations in others currencies, such as: Chilean peso, Argentine peso, Paraguayan guaraní, Mexican peso, Peruvian sol, Colombian peso, Australian dollar and New Zealand dollar.

Mitigation:

The Company mitigates currency risk exposures by contracting derivative instruments or through natural hedges or execution of internal operations.

FX Hedging Results:

With the aim of reducing exposure to exchange rate risk on operating cash flows in 2015 and secure the operating margin, LATAM and TAM conduct hedging through FX derivatives.

At September 30, 2015, the market value of its FX positions amounted to US$ 7.3 million (negative). At end of December 2014 the market value was of US$ 0.1 million (negative).

During the period ended at September 30, 2015 the Company recognized gains of US$ 12.9 million on hedging FX. During the same period of 2014 the Company recognized gains of US$ 6.3 million on hedging FX.

At end of September 2015, the Company has contracted FX derivatives for US$ 155 million to BRL, US$ 109 million to EUR and US$ 42 million to GBP. At end of December 2014, the Company had contracted derivatives for US$ 100 million to BRL, while for EUR and GBP there were no current positions.

Table of Contents

Sensitivity analysis:

A depreciation of exchange rate R$/US$, US$/EUR and US$/GBP affects negatively the Company for a rise of its costs in US$, however, it also affects positively the value of contracted derivate positions.

The FX derivatives are registered for as hedges of cash flow, therefore, a variation in the exchange rate has an impact on the market value of derivatives, whose changes impact on the Company’s net equity.

The following table presents the sensitivity of derivative FX Forward instruments agrees with reasonable changes to exchange rate and its effect on equity. The projection term was defined until the end of the last current contract hedge, being the last business day of the first quarter of 2016:

In the case of TAM S.A, which operates with the Brazilian Real as its functional currency, a large proportion of the company’s assets liabilities are expressed in United States Dollars. Therefore, this subsidiary’s profit and loss varies when its financial assets and liabilities, and its accounts receivable listed in dollars are converted to Brazilian Reals. This impact on profit and loss is consolidated in the Company.

In order to reduce the volatility on the financial statements of the Company caused by rises and falls in the R$/US$ exchange rate, the Company has conducted transactions for to reduce the net US$ liabilities held by TAM S.A.

The following table shows the variation of financial performance to appreciate or depreciate 10% exchange rate R$/US$:

Effects of exchange rate derivatives in the Financial Statements

The profit or losses caused by changes in the fair value of hedging instruments are segregated between intrinsic value and temporary value. The intrinsic value is the actual percentage of cash flow covered, initially shown in equity and later transferred to income, while the hedge transaction is recorded in income. The temporary value corresponds to the ineffective portion of cash flow hedge which is recognized in the financial results of the Company (Note 18).

 

21


Table of Contents

Due to the functional currency of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries is the Brazilian real, the Company presents the effects of the exchange rate fluctuations in Other comprehensive income by converting the Statement of financial position and Income statement of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries from their functional currency to the U.S. dollar, which is the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statement of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries. The Goodwill generated in the Business combination is recognized as an asset of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries in Brazilian real whose conversion to U.S. dollar also produces effects in Other comprehensive income.

The following table shows the change in Other comprehensive income recognized in Total equity in the case of appreciate or depreciate 10% the exchange rate R$/US$:

(iii) Interest -rate risk:

Exposition:

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates affecting the markets future cash flows of the assets, and current and future financial liabilities.

The Company is exposed in one portion to the variations of London Inter-Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) and other interest rates of less relevance are Brazilian Interbank Deposit Certificate (“ILC”), and the Interest Rate Term of Brazil (“TJLP”).

Mitigation:

In order to reduce the risk of an eventual rise in interest rates, the Company has signed interest-rate swap and call option contracts. Currently a 70% (69% at December 31, 2014) of the debt is fixed to fluctuations in interest rate.

Rate Hedging Results:

At September 30, 2015, the market value of the positions of interest rate derivatives amounted to US$ 50.2 million (negative). At end of December 2014 this market value was US$ 60.7 million (negative).

Much of the current rate derivatives are registered for as hedges of cash flow, therefore, a variation in the exchange rate has an impact on the market value of derivatives, whose changes impact on the Company’s net equity.

The calculations were made increasing (decreasing) vertically 100 basis points of the three-month Libor futures curve, being both reasonably possible scenarios according to historical market conditions.

The assumptions of sensitivity calculation must assume that forward curves of interest rates do not necessarily reflect the real value of the compensation flows. Moreover, the structure of interest rates is dynamic over time.

During the periods presented, the Company has no registered amounts by ineffectiveness in consolidated statement of income for this kind of hedging.

 

(b) Credit risk

Credit risk occurs when the counterparty to a financial agreement or instrument fails to discharge an obligation due or financial instrument, leading to a loss in market value of a financial instrument (only financial assets, not liabilities).

The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operative and financial activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other kinds of instruments, exchange-rate transactions and the contracting of derivative instruments or options.

 

23


Table of Contents

To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of operational activities in Brazil with travel agents).

As a way to mitigate credit risk related to financial activities, the Company requires that the counterparty to the financial activities remain at least investment grade by major Risk Assessment Agencies. Additionally the company has established maximum limits for investments which are monitored regularly.

 

(i) Financial activities

Cash surpluses that remain after the financing of assets necessary for the operation are invested according to credit limits approved by the Company’s Board, mainly in time deposits with different financial institutions, private investment funds, short-term mutual funds, and easily-liquidated corporate and sovereign bonds with short remaining maturities. These investments are booked as Cash and cash equivalents and Other current financial assets.

In order to reduce counterparty risk and to ensure that the risk assumed is known and managed by the Company, investments are diversified among different banking institutions (both local and international). The Company evaluates the credit standing of each counterparty and the levels of investment, based on (i) their credit rating, (ii) the equity size of the counterparty, and (iii) investment limits according to the Company’s level of liquidity. According to these three parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous three and based on this, establishes limits for operations with each counterparty.

The Company has no guarantees to mitigate this exposure.

 

(ii) Operational activities

The Company has four large sales “clusters”: travel agencies, cargo agents, airlines and credit-card administrators. The first three are governed by International Air Transport Association, international (“IATA”) organization comprising most of the airlines that represent over 90% of scheduled commercial traffic and one of its main objectives is to regulate the financial transactions between airlines and travel agents and cargo. When an agency or airline does not pay their debt, they are excluded from operating with IATA’s member airlines. In the case of credit-card administrators, they are fully guaranteed by 100% by the issuing institutions.

The exposure consists of the term granted, which fluctuates between 1 and 45 days.

One of the tools the Company uses for reducing credit risk is to participate in global entities related to the industry, such as IATA, Business Sales Processing (“BSP”), Cargo Account Settlement Systems (“CASS”), IATA Clearing House (“ICH”) and banks (credit cards). These institutions fulfill the role of collectors and distributors between airlines and travel and cargo agencies. In the case of the Clearing House, it acts as an offsetting entity between airlines for the services provided between them. A reduction in term and implementation of guarantees has been achieved through these entities. Currently the sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with travel agents and cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A.

Table of Contents

Credit quality of financial assets

The external credit evaluation system used by the Company is provided by IATA. Internal systems are also used for particular evaluations or specific markets based on trade reports available on the local market. The internal classification system is complementary to the external one, i.e. for agencies or airlines not members of IATA, the internal demands are greater.

To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of operational activities of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. with travel agents). The bad-debt rate in the principal countries where the Company has a presence is insignificant.

 

(c) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company has no sufficient funds to meet its obligations.

Because of the cyclical nature of the business, the operation, and its investment and financing needs related to the acquisition of new aircraft and renewal of its fleet, plus the financing needs, the Company requires liquid funds, defined as cash and cash equivalents plus other short term financial assets, to meet its payment obligations.

The liquid funds, the future cash generation and the capacity to obtain additional funding, through bond issuance and banking loans, will allow the Company to obtain sufficient alternatives to face its investment and financing future commitments.

The liquid funds balance as of September, 2015 is US$1,542 million, invested in short term instruments through financial high credit rating levels entities.

In addition to the liquid funds, the Company has access to short term credit line. As of September, 2015, LATAM has working capital credit lines with multiple banks and additionally has a US$130 million undrawn committed credit line.

Table of Contents

The Company has fuel, interest rate and exchange rate hedging strategies involving derivatives contracts with different financial institutions. The Company has margin facilities with each financial institution in order to regulate the mutual exposure produced by changes in the market valuation of the derivatives.

At the end of 2014, the Company provided US$ 91.8 million in derivative margin guarantees, for cash and stand-by letters of credit. At September 30, 2015, the Company had provided US$ 66.2 million in guarantees for Cash and cash equivalent and stand-by letters of credit. The fall was due at i) maturity of hedge contracts, ii) acquire of new fuel purchase contracts, and iii) changes in fuel prices, exchange rate and interest rates.

 

3.2. Capital risk management

The Company’s objectives, with respect to the management of capital, are (i) to comply with the restrictions of minimum equity and (ii) to maintain an optimal capital structure.

The Company monitors its contractual obligations and the regulatory limitations in the different countries where the entities of the group are domiciled to assure they meet the limit of minimum net equity, where the most restrictive limitation is to maintain a positive net equity.

Additionally, the Company periodically monitors the short and long term cash flow projections to assure the Company has adequate sources of funding to generate the cash requirement to face its investment and funding future commitments.

The Company international credit rating is the consequence of the Company capacity to face its long terms financing commitments. As of September 30, 2015 the Company has an international long term credit rating of BB with stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s, a BB- rating with stable outlook by Fitch Ratings and a Ba2 rating with stable outlook by Moody’s.

Table of Contents

The Company has classified the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of information used in the assessment. This hierarchy consists of 3 levels (I) fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (II) fair value calculated through valuation methods based on inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived from prices) and (III) fair value based on inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets, such as investments acquired for trading, is based on quoted market prices at the close of the period using the current price of the buyer. The fair value of financial assets not traded in active markets (derivative contracts) is determined using valuation techniques that maximize use of available market information. Valuation techniques generally used by the Company are quoted market prices of similar instruments and / or estimating the present value of future cash flows using forward price curves of the market at period end.

The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value, depending on the level of information used in the assessment:

The book values of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to approximate their fair values, due to their short-term nature. In the case of cash on hand, bank balances, overnight, time deposits and accounts payable, non-current, fair value approximates their carrying values.

The fair value of Other financial liabilities is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows at the current market interest rate for similar financial instruments. In the case of Other financial assets, the valuation was performed according to market prices at period end.

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS

The Company has used estimates to value and book some of the assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and commitments; these relate principally to:

 

(a) The evaluation of possible impairment losses for certain assets.

 

(b) The useful lives and residual values of fixed and intangible assets.

 

(c) The criteria employed in the valuation of certain assets.

 

(d) Air tickets sold that are not actually used.

 

(e) The calculation of deferred income at the end of the period, corresponding to the valuation of kilometers or points credited to holders of the loyalty programs which have not yet been used.

 

(f) The need for provisions and where required, the determination of their values.

 

(g) The recoverability of deferred tax assets.

These estimates are made on the basis of the best information available on the matters analyzed.

In any case, it is possible that events will require modification of the estimates in the future, in which case the effects would be accounted for prospectively.

The management has applied judgment in determining that LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has control over TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries for accounting purposes and therefore has consolidated their financial statements. This judgment is made on the basis that LATAM issued their ordinary shares in exchange for all of the outstanding common and preferred shares of TAM, except those shareholders of TAM who did not accept exchange and which were subject of the squeeze-out entitling LATAM to substantially all of the economic benefits that will be generated by the LATAM Group and also, consequently, exposing it to substantially all the risks incidental to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all of its shareholders, including the TAM controlling shareholders, ensuring that the shareholders and directors of TAM will have no incentive to exercise their rights in a manner that is beneficial to TAM but detrimental to LATAM. Further, all significant actions required for the operation of the airlines require the affirmative vote of both LATAM and the TAM controlling shareholders.

Since the integration of LAN and TAM operations, most critical airline activities in Brazil have been managed under the TAM CEO and global activities have been managed by the LATAM CEO, who is in charge of the overall operation of the LATAM Group and who reports to the LATAM board. Further, the LATAM CEO evaluates performance of the LATAM Group executives and, together with the LATAM board, determines compensation. Although there are restrictions on voting interests that currently may be held by foreign investors under Brazilian law, LATAM believes that the economic substance of these arrangements satisfies the requirements established by the applicable accounting standards and that consolidation by LATAM of TAM’s operations is appropriate.

NOTE 5 - SEGMENTAL INFORMATION

The Company has determined that it has two operating segments: the air transportation business and the coalition and loyalty program Multiplus.

The Air transport segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and it is based on the way that the business is run and managed, according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to open and close routes and reallocate resources (aircraft, crew, staff, etc..) within the network, which is a functional relationship between all of them, making them inseparable. This segment definition is the most common level used by the global airline industry.

The segment of loyalty coalition called Multiplus, unlike LanPass and TAM Fidelidade, is a frequent flyer programs which operate as a unilateral system of loyalty that offers a flexible coalition system, interrelated among its members, with 13.3 million of members, along with being a regulated entity with a separately business and not directly related to air transport.

Once pre-judicial and judicial collection efforts are exhausted, the assets are written off against the allowance. The Company only uses the allowance method rather than direct write-off, to ensure control.

Historic and current re-negotiations are not relevant and the policy is to analyze case by case in order to classify them according to the existence of risk, determining whether it is appropriate to re-classify accounts to pre-judicial recovery. If such re-classification is justified, an allowance is made for the account, whether overdue or falling due.

The maximum credit-risk exposure at the date of presentation of the information is the fair value of each one of the categories of accounts receivable indicated above.

(*) Aircraft maintenance reserves reflect prepayment deposits made by the group to lessors of certain aircraft under operating lease agreements in order to ensure that funds are available to support the scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft.

These amounts are calculated based on performance measures, such as flight hours or cycles, are paid periodically (usually monthly) and are contractually required to be repaid to the lessee upon the completion of the required maintenance of the leased aircraft. At the end of the lease term, any unused maintenance reserves are either returned to the Company in cash or used to offset amounts that we may owe the lessor as a maintenance adjustment.

In some cases (5 lease agreements), if the maintenance cost incurred by LATAM is less than the corresponding maintenance reserves, the lessor is entitled to retain those excess amounts at the time the heavy maintenance is performed. The Company periodically reviews its maintenance reserves for each of its leased aircraft to ensure that they will be recovered, and recognizes an expense if any such amounts are less than probable of being returned. Since the acquisition of TAM in June 2012, the cost of aircraft maintenance has been higher than the related maintenance reserves for all aircraft.

As of September 30, 2015, LATAM had ThUS$ 175,989 in maintenance reserves (ThUS$ 154,696 at December 31, 2014), corresponding to 10 aircraft out of a total fleet of 328 (12 aircraft out of a total fleet of 327 at December 31, 2014). All of the Company’s aircraft leases containing provisions for maintenance reserves will expire fully by 2017.

Aircraft maintenance reserves are classified as current or non-current depending on the dates when the related maintenance is expected to be performed (Note 2.23).

The amortization of the period is shown in the consolidated statement of income in administrative expenses. The accumulated amortization of computer programs as of September 30, 2015 amounts to ThUS$ 214,952 (ThUS$ 183,049 as of December 31, 2014). The accumulated amortization of other identifiable intangible assets as of September 30, 2015 amounts to ThUS$ 808 (ThUS$ 808 as of December 31, 2014).

 

(*) See Note 2.5

NOTE 15 - GOODWILL

The Goodwill amount at September 30, 2015 is ThUS$ 2,244,869 (ThUS$ 3,313,401 at December 31, 2014).

The Company has two cash- generating units (CGUs), confirming the existence of two cash- generating units: “Air transportation” and, “Coalition and loyalty program Multiplus”; consistent with this, at December 31, 2014 was performed impairment tests based on value in use and no impairment was identified. These tests are done at least once per year.

At December 31, 2014, the recoverable amounts of cash generating units have been determined from estimated cash flows by the Administration. The main assumptions used are disclosed as follows:

 

          Air transportation
CGU
   Coalition and loyalty
program Multiplus CGU (2)

Annual growth rate (Terminal)

   %    1.5 and 2.5    4.7 and 5.7

Exchange rate (1)

   R$/US$    2.7 and 3.62    2.7 and 3.62

Discount rate based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC)

   %    9.8 and 10.8    —  

Discount rate based on cost of equity (CoE)

   %    —      18.0 and 24.0

Fuel Price from futures price curves commodities markets

   US$/barril    90    —  

 

(1) In line with the expectations of the Central Bank of Brazil

Given the expectation of growth and the long investment cycles characteristic of the industry, projections of ten years are used.

The result of the impairment test, which includes a sensitivity analysis of the main variables, showed that the estimated recoverable amount is higher than carrying value of the book value of net assets allocated to the cash generating unit, and therefore impairment was not detected.

The sensitivity analysis included individual impact of variations in the key assumptions with impact on the determination of the recoverable amounts, namely:

 

     Increase

In none of the previous cases impairment in the cash- generating unit was presented.

In June 2015, changes in economic conditions in the region as well as the Company’s share price, gave rise to impairment indicators requiring an early assessment of possible impairment of the CGU Air Transport. Management determined as a result of this assessment that there was no impairment.

NOTE 17 - CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAXES

In the period ended September 30, 2015, the income tax provision was calculated at the rate of 22.5% for the business year 2015, in accordance with the recently enacted Law No. 20,780 published in the Official Journal of the Republic of Chile on September 29, 2014.

Among the main changes is the progressive increase of the First Category Tax which will reach 27% in 2018 if the “Partially Integrated Taxation System”(*) is chosen. Alternatively, if the Company chooses the “Attributed Income Taxation System”(*) the top rate would reach 25% in 2017.

As LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is a public company, by default it must choose the “Partially Integrated Taxation System”, unless a future Extraordinary Meeting of Shareholders of the Company agrees, by a minimum of 2/3 of the votes, to choose the “Attributed Income Taxation System”. This decision must be taken at the latest in the last quarter of 2016.

The effects of the updating of deferred tax assets and liabilities according to rates changes introduced by Law No. 20,780 depending on their period back were recorded equity in accordance with the instructions of Chilean Superintendency of Securities and Insurance in his Office Circular No. 856 of October 17, 2014. The total effect in equity was ThUS $ 150,210, which is explained by

 

65


Table of Contents

an increase in deferred tax assets of ThUS$ 87 and an increase in deferred tax liabilities of ThUS$ 145,253 and an increase in equity by deferred tax of ThUS$ 5,044. The net effect on the assets and liabilities by deferred tax was an increase on liabilities for ThUS$ 145,166.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legal right to offset assets and liabilities for income taxes relating to the same entity and tax authority.

 

(*) The Partially Integrated Taxation System is one of the tax regimes approved through the Tax Reform previously mentioned, which is based on the taxation by the perception of profits and the Attributed Income Taxation System is based on the taxation by the accrual of profits.

(*) In relation to the Tax Recovery Program (REFIS), established in Law No. 11,941/09, the Provisional Measure No. 651/2014 approved by the Brazilian National Congress and signed into Law No. 13,043/14, in its Section VIII, Article 33, establishes that taxpayers that have tax debts can anticipate paying their tax debt by using tax credits related to tax loss carryforwards up to an amount of 70% of the total debt if they pay the other 30% in cash. The Company adhered to the program and paid its debt through this mechanism.

Therefore, during the business year 2014 the company TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. decreased its liability associated with the REFIS program using its deferred tax assets related to its tax loss of ThUS $ 126,205 at September 30, 2015, generating no effect on the outcome of tax.

(6) Covers significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes in the price of future fuel purchases. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.
(7) Covers the foreign exchange risk exposure of operating cash flows caused mainly by fluctuations in the exchange rate US$/GBP, US$/EUR and R$/US$. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.

During the periods presented, the Company only maintains cash flow hedges and fair value (in the case of CCS). In the case of fuel hedges, the cash flows subject to such hedges will impact results in the next 15 months from the consolidated statement of financial position date, meanwhile in the case of interest rate hedging, the hedges will impact results over the life of the related loans, which are valid initially for 12 years. The hedges on investments will impact results continuously throughout the life of the investment, while the cash flows occur at the maturity of the investment. In the case of currency hedges through a CCS, are generated two types of hedge accounting, a cash flow component by UF, and other fair value by US$ floating rate component.

During the periods presented, no hedging operations of future highly probable transaction that have not been realized have occurred.

Since none of the coverage resulted in the recognition of a non-financial asset, no portion of the result of the derivatives recognized in equity was transferred to the initial value of such assets.

The amounts recognized in comprehensive income during the period and transferred from net equity to income are as follows:

Accumulated balance includes the judicial deposit in guarantee, related to the “Fundo Aeroviário” (FA), in the amount of US$ 60 million, done in order to suspend the enforceability of the tax credit. The company is discussing over the Tribunal the constitutionality of the requirement made by FA in a legal suit. Initially it was covered by the effects of a provisional remedy, meaning that, the company was not obligated to collect the tax while there was not a judicial decision in this regard. However, the decision taken by a judge in the first instance was publicized in an unfavorable way, revoking the provisional remedy relief. As the legal suit is still in progress (TAM appealed from this first decision), the company needed to do the deposit judicial in guarantee to suspend the enforceability of such tax credit; deposit classified in this category deducting the existing provision. Finally, if the final decision is favorable to the company, the deposit already made is going to come back to TAM. On the other hand, if the tribunal confirms the first decision, such deposit will be converted in a definitive payment in favor of the Brazilian Government. The procedural stage at September 30, 2015 is disclosed in Note 30, at case No. 2001.51.01.012530-3.

(*) European Commission Provision:

 

(a) This provision was established because of the investigation brought by the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission against more than 25 cargo airlines, including Lan Cargo S.A., as part of a global investigation that begun in 2006 regarding possible unfair competition on the air cargo market. This was a joint investigation by the European and U.S.A. authorities. The start of the investigation was disclosed through an Essential Matter report dated December 27, 2007. The U.S.A. portion of the global investigation concluded when Lan Cargo S.A. and its subsidiary, Aerolíneas Brasileiras S.A. (“ABSA”) signed a Plea Agreement with the U.S.A. Department of Justice, as disclosed in an Essential Matter report notice on January 21, 2009.

 

(b) A Essential Matter report dated November 9, 2010, reported that the General Direction of Competition had issued its decision on this case (the “decision”), under which it imposed fines totaling € 799,445,000 (seven hundred and ninety nine million four hundred and forty-five thousand Euros) for infringement of European Union regulations on free competition against eleven (11) airlines, among which are LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A., Air Canada, Air France, KLM, British Airways, Cargolux, Cathay Pacific, Japan Airlines, Qantas Airways, S.A.S. and Singapore Airlines.

 

(c) Jointly, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A., have been fined in the amount of € 8,220,000 (eight million two hundred twenty thousand Euros) for said infractions, which was provisioned in the financial statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A.. This is a minor fine in comparison to the original decision, as there was a significant reduction in fine because LATAM Airlines Group S.A. cooperated during the investigation.

 

(d) On January 24, 2011, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A. appealed the decision before the Court of Justice of the European Union. The procedural stage at September 30, 2015 is disclosed in Note 30, in (ii) lawsuits received by Latam Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries in European Commission Court.

(f.1) Currency translation reserve

These originate from exchange differences arising from the translation of any investment in foreign entities (or Chilean investment with a functional currency different to that of the parent), and from loans and other instruments in foreign currency designated as hedges for such investments. When the investment (all or part) is sold or disposed and loss of control occurs, these reserves are shown in the consolidated statement of income as part of the loss or gain on the sale or disposal. If the sale does not involve loss of control, these reserves are transferred to non-controlling interests.

NOTE 31 - COMMITMENTS

 

(a.1) Loan covenants

With respect to various loans signed by the Company for the financing of Boeing 767, 767F, 777F and 787 aircraft, which carry the guarantee of the United States Export–Import Bank, limits have been set on some of the Company’s financial indicators on a consolidated basis. Moreover, and related to these same contracts, restrictions are also in place on the Company’s management in terms of its ownership and disposal of assets.

The Company and its subsidiaries do not maintain financial credit contracts with banks in Chile that indicate some limits on financial indicators of the Company or its subsidiaries.

At September 30, 2015, the Company is in compliance with all indicators detailed above.

 

(a.2) Fleet financing commitments to receive

On May 29, 2015, The Company has issued and placed debt securities denominated Enhanced Equipment Trust Certificates (“EETC”) for an aggregate amount of US $ 1,020,823,000 (the “Certificates”) in accordance with the following:

 

    The Certificates were issued and placed in the international market under Rule 144-A and Regulation S of the securities laws of the United States of America by pass-through trusts (“Trusts”).

 

    This offer consists of class A Certificates that will have an interest rate of 4.2% per annum, with an estimated distribution date of November 15, 2027, while the Class B Certificates will have an interest rate of 4.5% per annum, with an estimated distribution date of November 15, 2023.

 

    Trusts will use the proceeds of the placement, which will initially remain in escrow with a first class bank, to acquire “Equipment Notes” to be issued by four separate special purpose entities, each of which is wholly owned by LATAM (each an “Issuer”).

 

    Each Issuer will use the proceeds from the sale of the Equipment Notes and the initial payment under each Lease (as such term is defined below) to finance the acquisition of eleven new Airbus A321-200, two Airbus A350-900s and four Boeing 787 -9, whose deliveries are scheduled between July 2015 and March 2016 (the “Aircrafts”).

 

    Each of the Issuers will lease the acquired Aircrats to LATAM according to a finance lease (“Lease”), who may in turn sublease the Aircraft under operating sub-lease agreements.

 

    Based on the above, LATAM will recognise these Equipment Notes as debt upon delivery of each Aircraft.

 

    The Certificates have not been registered under the United Stated Securities Act of 1933 or under applicable securities laws in any other jurisdiction. Consequently, the Certificates have been offered and sold to persons reasonably believed to qualify as institutional investors in accordance with Rule 144-A under the Securities Act of the United States, and other non-residents of the United States in transactions outside the United States under Regulation S of the normative body.
