At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014

(In thousands of Mexican pesos and thousands of U.S. dollars,
except when indicated otherwise)

1.  Corporate information

Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Controladora”) was incorporated in Mexico in accordance with Mexican Corporate laws on October 27, 2005.

Controladora is domiciled in Mexico City at Av. Antonio Dovali Jaime No. 70, 13th Floor, Tower B, Colonia Zedec Santa Fe, Mexico D.F.

Concesionaria Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Concesionaria”), has a concession to provide air transportation services for passengers, cargo and mail throughout Mexico and abroad.

Concesionaria’s concession was granted by the Mexican federal government through the Mexican Communications and Transportation Ministry (Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes, or “SCT”) on May 9, 2005 initially for a period of five years and was extended by the SCT on February 17, 2010 for an additional period of ten years.

Concesionaria made its first commercial flight as a low-cost airline on March 13, 2006. The Company operates under the trade name of “Volaris”. On June 11, 2013, Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.P.I. de C.V. changed its corporate name to Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V.

On September 23, 2013, the Company completed its dual listing Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and on the Mexican Stock Exchange (“BMV”), and on September 18, 2013 it started trading under the ticker symbol “VLRS” and “VOLAR”, respectively.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes were authorized for their issuance by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer Enrique Beltranena and Chief Financial Officer Fernando Suárez on October 16, 2015. Those unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes were then approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on October 16, 2015.  Subsequent events have been considered through that date.

 
 

 

2.  Basis of preparation

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting and using the same accounting policies applied in preparing the annual financial statements, except as explained below.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, and for the three year period ended December 31, 2014 as included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2014 (the “2014 Form 20-F”).

Basis of consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements comprise the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, for accounting purposes the companies included in the consolidated financial statements are as follows:

The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2015. The Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

New standards

The following new International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and amendments apply for the first time in 2015; however, they do not have a material impact on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

Amendments to IAS 19 Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions

IAS 19 requires an entity to consider contributions from employees or third parties when accounting for defined benefit plans. Where the contributions are linked to service, they should be attributed to periods of service as a negative benefit. These amendments clarify that, if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, an entity is permitted to recognize such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to the periods of service. This amendment is effective for annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014.

This amendment has no impact in the Company, since the Company has no defined benefit plans with contributions from employees or third parties.

Annual Improvements 2010-2012 Cycle

These improvements are effective from annual periods beginning on or after July 1, 2014 and the Company has applied these amendments for the first time in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. They include:

IFRS 2 Share-based Payment

This improvement is applied prospectively and clarifies various issues relating to the definitions of performance and service conditions which are vesting conditions, including:

§
A performance condition must contain a service condition
 
§
A performance target must be met while the counterparty is rendering service
 
§
A performance target may relate to the operations or activities of an entity, or to those of another entity in the same group

§
A performance condition may be a market or non-market condition

§
If the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the vesting period, the service condition is not satisfied

 
 

 

This improvement has no impact on the Company, since the share based payments of the Company only include an implicit service condition and already consider that if an employee no longer renders service during the vesting period (due to an employee’s decision), the service condition is not met .

IFRS 8 Operating Segments

The amendments are applied retrospectively and clarify that:

§
An entity must disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation criteria in paragraph 12 of IFRS 8, including a brief description of operating segments that have been aggregated and the economic characteristics (e.g., sales and gross margins) used to assess whether the segments are ‘similar’.

§
The reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed if the reconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker, similar to the required disclosure for segment liabilities.

This amendment has no impact on the Company, since it is managed as a single business unit that provides air transportation services and has not aggregated operating segments.

IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38 Intangible Assets

The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies in IAS 16 and IAS 38 that the asset may be revalued by reference to observable data by either adjusting the gross carrying amount of the asset to market value or by determining the market value of the carrying value and adjusting the gross carrying amount proportionately so that the resulting carrying amount equals the market value. In addition, the accumulated depreciation or amortization is the difference between the gross and carrying amounts of the asset.

This amendment has no impact on the Company, since it does not use the revaluation model included in IAS 16.

IAS 24 Related Party Disclosures

The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that a management entity (an entity that provides key management personnel services) is a related party subject to the related party disclosures. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to disclose the expenses incurred for management services.

This amendment has no impact on the Company, since it does not receive any management services from other entities.

Annual Improvements 2011-2013 Cycle

IFRS 13 Fair Value Measurement

The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that the portfolio exception in IFRS 13 can be applied not only to financial assets and financial liabilities, but also to other contracts within the scope of IFRS 9 (2013).

This scope has no impact on the Company, since it does not apply the portfolio exception in IFRS 13.

 
 

 
 
IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and establishes a new five-step model that will apply to revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognized at an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue.

The new revenue standard is applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018 with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective date.

Amendments to IFRS 11 Joint Arrangements: Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests

The amendments to IFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the acquisition of an interest in a joint operation, in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business must apply the relevant IFRS 3 principles for business combinations accounting. The amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasured on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while joint control is retained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to IFRS 11 to specify that the amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity, are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party.

The amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the acquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation and are prospectively effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted.

These amendments are not expected to have a material impact on the Company.

Amendments to IAS 16 and IAS 38: Clarification of Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization

The amendments clarify the principle in IAS 16 and IAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern of economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part) rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, a revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may only be used in very limited circumstances to amortize intangible assets.

The amendments are effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted.

These amendments are not expected to have any impact on the Company given that the Company has not used a revenue-based method to depreciate its non-current assets.
 
 
 

 

3.  Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with IAS 34 requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements.

4.  Convenience translation

U.S. dollar amounts at September 30, 2015 shown in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included solely for the convenience of the reader and are translated from Mexican pesos at September 30, 2015, divided by an exchange rate of Ps.17.0073 per U.S. dollar, as reported by the Mexican Central Bank (Banco de México) as the rate for the payment of obligations denominated in foreign currency payable in Mexico in effect on September 30, 2015. Such translation should not be construed as a representation that the peso amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate. The referred information in U.S. dollars is solely for information purposes and does not represent the amounts are in accordance with IFRS or the equivalent in U.S. dollars in which the transactions were conducted or in which the amounts presented in Mexican pesos can be translated or realized.

5.  Seasonality of operations

The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of those for the entire year because the business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Company expect demand to be greater during the summer in the northern hemisphere, in December and around Easter, which can fall either in the first or second quarter, compared to the rest of the year. The Company and subsidiaries generally experience their lowest levels of passenger traffic in February, September and October, given their proportion of fixed costs, seasonality can affect their profitability from quarter to quarter. This information is provided to allow for a better understanding of the results, however management has concluded that this does not constitute “highly seasonal” as considered by IAS 34.

6.  Risk management

Financial risk management

The Company’s activities are exposed to different financial risks derived from exogenous variables which are not under its control but whose effects might be potentially adverse such as: (i) market risk, (ii) credit risk, and (iii) liquidity risk. The Company’s global risk management program is focused on uncertainty in the financial markets and tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on the net earnings and working capital requirements. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge part of these risks. The Company does not engage derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

 
 

 

The sources of these financial risks exposures are included in both “on balance sheet” exposures, such as recognized financial assets and liabilities, as well as in “off-balance sheet” contractual agreements and on highly expected forecasted transactions. These on and off-balance sheet exposures, depending on their profiles, do represent potential cash flow variability exposure, in terms of receiving less inflows or facing the need to meet outflows which are higher than expected, therefore increase the working capital requirements. Also, since adverse movements also erode the value of recognized financial assets and liabilities, as well some other off-balance sheet financial exposures such as operating leases, there is a need for value preservation, by transforming the profiles of these fair value exposures.

The Company has a Finance and Risk Management team, which identifies and measures financial risk exposures, as well as design strategies to mitigate or transform the profile of certain risk exposures, which are taken up to the Corporate Governance level for approval.

Market risk

a)  Jet fuel price risk

Since the contractual agreements with jet fuel suppliers include reference to jet fuel index, the Company is exposed to fuel price risk and its fuel price risk on its forecasted consumption volumes. The Company’s jet fuel risk management policy aims to provide the Company with protection against increases in fuel prices. In pursuing this objective, the risk management policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments available on the over the counter (“OTC”) markets with approved counterparties and within approved limits. Aircraft jet fuel consumed in the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 represented 31% and 40%, of the Company’s operating expenses, respectively.

Aircraft jet fuel consumed in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 represented 31% and 40%, of the Company’s operating expenses, respectively.

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 Asian swap contracts to hedge approximately 21% of its fuel consumption, and were accounted for as cash flow hedges (“CFH”) that gave rise to a loss of Ps.4,245. These instruments were formally designated and qualified for hedge accounting and accordingly, the effective portion is allocated within other comprehensive income while the effects to transforming into a fixed jet fuel prices by these hedges are presented as part of fuel as part of operating expenses when recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations. All of the Company’s position in US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 Asian swaps matured on June 30, 2015 (Note 7).

During the six months period ended June 30, 2015 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 Asian swap contracts to hedge approximately 11% and 17% of its fuel consumption, respectively, and were accounted for as cash flow hedges (“CFH”) that gave rise to a loss of Ps.128,330 and a gain of Ps.426, respectively. These instruments were formally designated and qualified for hedge accounting and accordingly, the effective portion is allocated within other comprehensive income while the effects to transforming into a fixed jet fuel prices by these hedges are presented as part of fuel operating expenses when recognized in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations (Note 7).

As of December 31, 2014, the fair value of the outstanding US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 swaps designated to hedge a percentage of the Company’s projected consumption, was Ps.169,622, and are presented as derivative financial instruments as current financial liabilities. As of September 30, 2015, the Company did not record fair value since all of the Company's position in US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 Asian swaps matured on June 30, 2015.

 
 

 
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, and for the last quarter of 2014, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian call options designated to hedge  a portion of the 2015 and 2016 projected consumption (as described in the tables below). Since the Company elected to early adopt IFRS 9 (2013) in 2014, this standard  requires the separation of the changes in fair value of these options attributable to the intrinsic value, from those changes due to extrinsic value, where the latter are considered as a cost of hedging associated to a transaction-related hedged item (a hedge of a portion of the future monthly purchases of fuel). Accordingly, the Company reclassifies these amounts recognized within a separate component of other comprehensive income to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment in the same period in which the expected jet fuel consumed volume affected the jet fuel  operating cost  in the consolidated statements of operations. The adoption of IFRS 9 (2013) does not impact the interest rate swaps or jet fuel swaps as those instruments do not incorporate a portion of time value (attributable to external value), such as is the case with options.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair value of the outstanding US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel Asian call options was Ps.104,881 and Ps.68,133, respectively, which was presented as part of the financial assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position (Note 7).

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the amount of cost of hedging derived from the extrinsic value changes of these options recognized in other comprehensive income, totalized Ps.253,261 and Ps.26,934, respectively, and will be recycled to  fuel operating cost throughout 2015 and until 2016, as these options expire on a monthly basis (Note 7).

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 Asian call options hedged gave rise to a loss of Ps.41,068 and Ps.63,925, respectively, which was recorded as part of the fuel operating cost (Note 7).

b)  Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in foreign exchange rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities; when revenue or expense is denominated in a different currency from the Company’s functional currency (including the amounts payable arising from U.S. dollar denominated expenses and U.S. dollars linked expenses and payments). To mitigate this risk, the Company may use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments.

 
 

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not enter into foreign exchange rate derivatives financial instruments.

The Company’s foreign exchange on and off-balance sheet exposure as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is as set forth below:

These assets are included as part of rotable, spare parts, furniture and equipment, and therefore are not remeasured.


c)  Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s long-term debt obligations and flight equipment operating lease agreements with floating interest rates.

The Company’s results are affected by fluctuations in certain benchmark market interest rates due to the impact that such changes may have on operational lease payments indexed to the London Inter Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates and accounts for these instruments as an accounting hedge. In general, when a derivative can be defined within the terms and cash flows of a leasing agreement, this may be designed as a “cash flow hedge” and the effective portion of fair value variations are recorded in OCI until the date the cash flow of the hedged lease payment is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 the Company had outstanding hedging contracts in the form of interest rate swaps with notional amount of US$70,000 (both at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014) and fair value of Ps.71,161 and Ps.83,496, respectively, recorded as liabilities (Note 7).

 
 

 
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the reported loss on the interest rate swap was Ps.12,166 and Ps.9,800, respectively, which was recognized as part of aircraft and engine rent expense in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations (Note 7).

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the reported loss on the interest rate swap was Ps.34,586 and Ps.29,283, respectively, which was recognized as part of aircraft and engine rent expense in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations (Note 7).

d)  Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk represents the risk that the Company has insufficient funds to meet its obligations.

Because of the cyclical nature of the business, the operations, and its investment and financing needs related to the acquisition of new aircraft and renewal of its fleet, the Company requires liquid funds to meet its obligations.

The Company attempts to manage its cash and cash equivalents and its financial assets, relating the term of investments with those of its obligations. Its policy is that the average term of its investments may not exceed the average term of its obligations. This cash and cash equivalents position is invested in highly-liquid short-term instruments through financial entities.

The Company has future obligations related to maturities of bank borrowings and derivative contracts. The Company’s off-balance sheet exposure represents the future obligations related to operating lease contracts and aircraft purchase contracts. The Company concluded that it has a low concentration of risk since it has access to alternate sources of funding.

e)  Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that any counterparty will not meet its obligations under a financial instrument or customer contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from its operating activities (primarily for trade receivables) and from its financing activities, including deposits with banks and financial institutions, foreign exchange transactions and other financial instruments including derivatives.

Financial instruments that expose the Company to credit risk involve mainly cash equivalents and accounts receivable. Credit risk on cash equivalents relate to amounts invested with major financial institutions.

Credit risk on accounts receivable relates primarily to amounts receivable from the major international credit card companies.

7.  Fair value measurements

The only financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis are the derivative financial instruments.

Fair value is the price that would be received from sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

 
 

 

(i)           In the principal market for the asset or liability, or
(ii)          In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to the Company.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable.

Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Set out below, is a comparison by class of the carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments, other than those for which carrying amounts are reasonable approximations of fair values:

Litigation
 
a)
The Company and its CEO, CFO, certain of its current directors and certain of its former directors, are among the defendants in a putative class action commenced on February 24, 2015 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York brought on behalf of purchasers of American Depositary Receipt (“ADSs”) in and/or traceable to the Company’s September 2013 initial public offering. The complaint, which also names as defendants the underwriters of the IPO, generally alleges that the registration statement and prospectus for the ADSs contained misstatements and omissions with respect to the recognition of non-ticket revenue in violation of the federal securities laws, and seeks unspecified damages and rescission. Pavers and Road Builders Pension Fund was appointed as lead plaintiff for the action. The Company believes that the outcome of the proceedings to which it is currently a party will not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the condensed unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
 
b)
The Company is a party to legal proceedings and claims that arise during the ordinary course of business. The Company believes the ultimate outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Qualitative and quantitative information about the position of Derivative Financial Instruments of Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. and subsidiaries (“Volaris” the “Company”) at September 30, 2015.
 
 
 
1)
Management’s discussion about derivative financial instrument policies explaining whether these policies allow them to be used only for hedging or other purposes such as trading.

The Company´s activities are exposed to different financial risks derived from exogenous variables that are not under its control, but whose effects can be potentially adverse. The Company’s global risk management program is focused on existing uncertainty on the financial markets and is intended to minimize potential adverse effects on net earnings and necessities of the Company’s working capital. Volaris uses derivative financial instruments only to mitigate part of these risks and does not have financial derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.
 
 
The Company has a Risk Management team that identifies and measures exposure to different financial risks. It is also in charge of designing strategies to mitigate them. Accordingly, it has a Hedging Policy and procedures related thereto, on which those strategies are based. All policies, procedures and strategies are approved by different administrative entities based on the Corporate Governance of the Company.
 
 
The Hedging Policy and processes related thereto are approved by diverse Company’s participants in accordance with the Corporate Governance. That Hedging Policy establishes that derivative financial instrument transactions will be approved and implemented/monitored by various committees. Additionally setting minimum liquidity levels, maximum notional, coverage range, markets, counterparties and approved instruments. Compliance with the Hedging Policy and its procedures are subject to internal and external audits.
 
 
The Hedging Policy maintains a conservative position regarding derivative financial instrument, since it only allows instruments to be contracted that maintain an effective correlation with the primary position to be hedged (in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards “IFRS”, under which the Company prepares its financial information). Accordingly, the Company’s objective is to give hedge accounting treatment to all derivative financial instruments.
 
 
Through the use of derivative financial instruments, Volaris aims to transfer a portion of the market risk to its financial counterparties; some of these are best described as follows:
 
 
 
 
1.
Fuel price fluctuation risk: Volaris’ contracts with its fuel suppliers make reference to the market prices of that input; therefore, it is exposed to an increase in its price. Volaris contracts derivative financial instruments to have protection against significant increases in the fuel price. Such instruments are contracted on the over-the-counter (“OTC”) market, with approved counterparties and within approved limits by the Hedging Policy. At the date of presenting this report, the Company uses Asian options, with U.S. Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 as underlying asset. Asian instruments provide a more prefect offsetting due that the payoff takes into account the average price of the underlying asset considered in Volaris main fuel supplier. All derivative financial instruments qualified for hedge accounting.
     
 
2.
Foreign currency risk: The Company's exposure to the risk of variations in foreign exchange rates is mainly related to the Company’s activities (that is when revenues or expenses are denominated in a currency other than the Company´s functional currency). To mitigate this risk, the Hedging Policy allows the Company to use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments. As of the date of presenting this report, the Company does not hold foreign exchange hedging position.

 
3.
Interest rate variation risk: The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates is related primarily to the Company´s debt and operating lease with variable interest rates. The Company contracts derivative financial instruments to hedge against a portion of that exposure. The Company uses interest rate swaps toward that end. Those instruments are recognized in hedge accounting in the item of hedged primary item.

Outstanding derivative financial instruments may require collateral to guarantee a portion of the unsettled loss prior to maturity. The amount of collateral delivered in pledge, is presented as part of non-current assets under the caption guarantee deposits. It is reviewed and adjusted daily, based on the fair value of the derivative financial instrument position.
 
Trading markets and eligible counterparties
 
 
The Company only operates in over the counter (“OTC”) markets. To minimize counterparty risk, the Company enters into ISDA agreements with counterparties with recognized financial capacity; therefore, significant risks of nonperformance are not foreseen of the obligations of any of them. As of September 30, 2015, the Company has signed 9 ISDA agreements with financial institutions and maintained operations with 4 of them during the third quarter of 2015.
 
 
The Company only operates with the financial counterparties, with which it has an ISDA contract. Those contracts have a Credit Support Annex (“CSA”), which set forth credit conditions that define credit lines and guidelines for margin calls are stipulated, such as minimum amounts and rounding off. The execution of derivative financial instruments is distributed among the different counterparties to prevent their exposure concentrated on a single counterparty and making more efficient use of the financial conditions of the different CASs, thereby minimizing potential margin calls.
 
 
 
2)
Generic description of the valuation techniques, distinguishing instruments that are valued at cost or fair value, as well as valuation methods and techniques.
 
 
The designation of calculation agents is documented in the ISDA contracts under which Volaris operates. The Company uses the valuations received from the financial institutions that acted as a counterparty in the different derivative financial instruments. That fair value is compared with internally developed valuation techniques that use valid and recognized methodologies, through which the fair value of derivative financial instruments is estimated based on the levels and variables listed on the market of bench mark assets, using Bloomberg as the main source of information.
 
 
Based on International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), under which the Company prepares its financial statements, Volaris realizes prospective and retrospective effectiveness tests, as well as hedging files where derivative financial instruments are classified in accordance with the type of underlying asset (restated and monitored constantly). At the date of filing this report, all of the Company's financial derivative instruments are considered effective and, therefore, are classified to be recorded under hedge accounting assumptions.

 
3)
Management discussion on internal and external sources of liquidity that could be used to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments
 
 
The Company only operates with financial counterparties with which it has an ISDA contract. Those contracts have a Credit Support Annex ("CSA") section, which sets forth credit conditions. Credit lines and guidelines for margin calls are stipulated therein, such as minimum amounts and rounding off. Contracting derivative financial instruments is distributed among the different counterparties with the intent to avoid that their exposure falls on a single counterparty, thereby making the use of the financial conditions of the different CSA more efficient. Moreover, the Company has internal recourses to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments.
 
 
 
4)
Explanation of changes in exposure to the main risks identified and in managing them, as well as contingencies and events known or expected by management that can affect future reports.
 
 
The Company's activities are exposed to various financial risks, mainly highlighted by fuel price risk, exchange rate fluctuation risk and changes in interest rate risk. During the third quarter of 2015, no significant change was identified that modified exposure to the risks described above, a situation that can change in the future.
 
 
 
5)
Quantitative information
 
 
 
At the date of this report, all the derivative financial instruments maintained by the Company qualify as hedge accounting; therefore, the changes in their fair value will only be the result of changes in the levels or prices of the underlying asset, and it will not modify the objective of the hedge for which it was initially contracted.

Unit Revenue Improvements driven by Non-Ticket Revenue Growth and Improved Revenue Management

Volaris’ total operating revenues were Ps.5,220 million in the third quarter, an increase of 30.7% year over year. Non-ticket revenue and non-ticket revenue per passenger reached Ps.1,063 million and Ps.319 in the third quarter, respectively, an increase of 43.3% and 13.2% year over year, respectively.

Fuel Savings Offset Exchange Rate Pressures

In the third quarter, Volaris continued to experience pressures in US-dollar denominated costs such as aircraft rents, international airport costs, and maintenance expenses due to the depreciation of the Mexican peso.

Despite these challenges, the CASM for the third quarter was Ps.106.6 cents, an 8.1% decrease compared to the third quarter 2014, mainly driven by lower fuel prices.

Young and Fuel Efficient Fleet

As of September 30, 2015, Volaris fleet was comprised of 55 aircraft (35 A320s, 18 A319s and 2 A321s), with an average age of 4.4 years. Volaris expects to end the year with 56 aircraft.

Strong Cash Flow Generation, Solid Balance Sheet and Good Liquidity

The net increase of cash and cash equivalents was Ps.380 million during the third quarter, mainly driven by the resources provided by operating activities of Ps.243 million.

As of September 30, 2015, Volaris had a balance of Ps.4,408 million in unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, representing 26% of the last twelve month operating revenues. Volaris recorded negative net debt (or a positive net cash position) of Ps.2,954 million and total equity of Ps.6,196 million.

During the third quarter, Volaris incurred capital expenditures of Ps.262 million, which included pre-delivery payments for acquisition of aircraft and rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment for Ps.244 million and intangibles assets for Ps.18 million. These acquisitions were offset by reimbursements of aircraft pre-delivery payments of Ps.270 million, and proceeds from disposals of rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment of Ps.78 million.

Active in Fuel Risk Management

Volaris has continued to remain active in its fuel risk management program. Volaris hedged 45% of its third quarter fuel consumption at an average strike price of US $2.07 per gallon, which combined with the 55% unhedged consumption, resulted in a blended average economic fuel cost of US$1.68 per gallon for the quarter.

Investors are urged to carefully read the Company's periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission, for additional information regarding the Company.
