Annex - Financial derivate instruments

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 resulting 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 in the financial markets and is intended to minimize potential adverse effects on net earnings and working capital requirements. Volaris uses derivative financial instruments to mitigate part of these risks and does not acquire financial derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

The Company has a Risk Management team which identifies and evaluates the exposure to different financial risks. It is also in charge of designing strategies to mitigate them. Accordingly, it has a Hedging Policy in place 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.

The Hedging Policy, as well as its processes are approved by different administrative entities according to the Corporate Governance. The Hedging Policy establishes that derivative financial instrument transactions will be approved and implemented/monitored by certain committees. Compliance with the Hedging Policy and its procedures are subject to internal and external audits as well as a Corporate Governance.

The Hedging Policy holds a conservative position regarding derivative financial instruments, since it only allows the company to enter into positions that are correlated with the primary position to be hedged (in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards “IFRS”, under which the Company prepares its financial information). The Company’s objective is to apply hedge accounting treatment to all derivative financial instruments.

Volaris aims to transfer a portion of market risk to its financial counterparties through the use of derivative financial instruments, described as follows:

Fuel price fluctuation risk: Volaris’ contractual agreements with its fuel suppliers are linked to the market price index of the underlying asset; therefore, it is exposed to an increase in such price. Volaris enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge against significant increases in the fuel price. The instruments are traded on over-the-counter (“OTC”) markets, with approved counterparties and within limits specified on the Hedging Policy. As of the date of this report, the Company uses Asian call options and Zero Cost Collars, being U.S. Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 the underlying asset. Asian instruments consider the monthly average price of the underlying, hence it matches the outflows of Volaris main fuel supplier. All derivative financial instruments qualified as hedge accounting.

Foreign currency risk: While Mexican Peso is the functional currency of the company, a significant portion of its operating expenses is denominated in U.S. dollar; thus, Volaris relies on sustained U.S. dollar cash flows coming from operations in the United States of America and Central America to support part of its commitments in such currency, however there’s still a mismatch. Foreign currency risk arises from possible unfavorable movements in the exchange rate which could have a negative impact in the company’s cash flows. To mitigate this risk, the Hedging Policy allows the Company to use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments. As of the date of this report, the Company has outstanding position on foreign exchange financial instruments.

Interest rate variation risk: The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates is related primarily to the Company’s flight equipment operating lease agreements and long-term debt obligations with floating interest rates. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to hedge a portion of such exposure. As of the date of this report, the Company does not have any outstanding position on interest rate derivatives.

Outstanding derivative financial instruments may require collateral to guarantee a portion of the unsettled mark-to-market loss prior to maturity. The amount of collateral delivered in pledge, is presented as part of current assets under the caption guarantee deposits. It is assessed reviewed and adjusted accordingly on a daily basis.,

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 default on any of them are not foreseen. As of December 31, 2018, the Company has 7 ISDAs in place with different financial institutions and was active with 4 of them during the fourth quarter 2018.

Those agreements have a Credit Support Annex ("CSA") section, which sets credit conditions and guidelines for margin calls that are stipulated therein, including minimum amounts and rounding off. Hedging positions are distributed among different counterparties with the purpose of diversifying our exposure, and thus, optimizing financial conditions of different CSA thresholds. Moreover, the Company has internal resources to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments.

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 at the ISDAs whereby Volaris operates. The Company uses the valuations provided by the financial institutions of each derivative financial instrument. Afterwards, that fair value is compared with internally developed valuation techniques that use valid and recognized methodologies based on the assets listed on its respective market and using Bloomberg as the main source of information for the levels.

In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), the Company elaborate its financial statements; Volaris performs prospective effectiveness tests, as well as hedging records in which derivative financial instruments are classified in accordance with the type of underlying asset (monitored and updated constantly). As of the date of this report, all of the Company’s financial derivative instruments are considered effective and therefore, are recorded under hedge accounting assumptions.

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 agreement. Those agreements have a Credit Support Annex ("CSA") section, which sets credit conditions and guidelines for margin calls that are stipulated therein, including minimum amounts and rounding off. Hedging positions are distributed among different counterparties with the purpose of diversifying our exposure, and thus, optimizing financial conditions of different CSA thresholds. Moreover, the Company has internal resources to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments.

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 several market risks, such as fuel price, exchange rates and interest rates. During the fourth quarter of 2018, there was no evidence of significant changes that could modify the exposure to the risks described above, a situation that can change in the future.

Quantitative information

As of the date of this report, all the derivative financial instruments held by the Company qualified as hedge accounting; for this reason, the changes in their fair value will only be the result of changes in the price levels of the underlying asset, and it will not modify the objective of the hedge for which it was initially entered for.

The Company only operates with financial counterparties with which it has an ISDA agreement. 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, in order to minimize the potential margin calls.

d) Retrospective changes in classification

During 2018, the Company modified certain amounts in the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2017 and in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and twelve months period ended December 31, 2017 as required by IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements. These modifications resulted from the adoption of IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and amended in April 2016, and establishes a five-step model to account for 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 will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS. IFRS 15 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments.

The Company adopted the new standard on the required effective date as of January 1, 2018, using the full retrospective method of adoption, in order to provide for comparative results in all periods presented, recognizing the effect in retained earnings as of January 1, 2016.

The main impact of IFRS 15 is the timing of recognition of certain air travel-related services (“ancillaries”). Under the new standard, certain ancillaries are recognized when the air transportation service is rendered (at the time of the flight). This change arises primarily because those ancillaries do not constitute separate performance obligations or represent administrative tasks that do not represent a promised service and therefore should be accounted for together with the air fare as a single performance obligation of providing passenger transportation. Also certain services provided to the Company´s customers that under the new standard qualify as variable consideration that are recorded as reduction revenues.

Also the classification of certain ancillary fees in the statement of operations, such as advanced seat selection, fees charges for excess baggage, itinerary changes and other air travel-related services, changed with adoption of IFRS 15 since they are part of the single performance obligation of providing passenger transportation.

The Company also evaluated the principal versus agent considerations as it relates to certain non-air travel services arrangements with third party providers. That not represented changes on revenue.

The following table provides details about the adoption:

2. Impact of new International Reporting Standard

New and amended standards and interpretations

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, 2017, except for the adoption of new standards and interpretations effective as of January 1, 2018. Except to the adoption of IFRS 9 during 2014, the Company has not early adopted any other standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective.

The nature and the effect of these changes are disclosed below.

IFRS 9 (2014) Financial Instruments

The Company adopted IFRS 9 (2013) in connection with its 2014 consolidated financial statements. IFRS 9 (2014) requires entities to apply an expected credit loss (ECL) model that replaces the IAS 39’s incurred loss model. The ECL model applies to debt instruments accounted for at amortized cost or at fair value through OCI, most loan commitments, financial guarantee contracts, contract assets under IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers and lease receivables under IAS 17 Leases or IFRS 16 Leases.

IFRS 9 (2014) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, since the Company early adopted IFRS 9 (2013), no additional impact is expected

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

34 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

During 2016, the Company performed a preliminary assessment of IFRS 15, which was continued with a more detailed analysis completed in 2017. The Company expects that the main impact of IFRS 15 is the timing of recognition of certain air travel-related services (“ancillaries”). Under the current accounting policy, certain ancillaries are recognized as revenue at the time of the booking by customer (or when the service is provided); under the new standard, those ancillaries will be recognized when the air transportation service is rendered (at the time of the flight).

This change arises primarily because those ancillaries do not constitute separate performance obligations or represent administrative tasks that do not represent a promised service and therefore should be accounted for together with the air fare as a single performance obligation of providing passenger transportation. Also certain services provided to the Company’s customers that under the new standard qualify as variable considerations that will be recorded as reduction to revenues. The Company considers this accounting change will not have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

The Company also expects that the classification of certain ancillary fees in the statement of operations, such as advanced seat selection, fees charges for excess baggage, itinerary changes and other air travel-related services, will change upon adoption of IFRS 15 since they are part of the single performance obligation of providing passenger transportation. The Company expects that these revenues currently classified as non-ticket revenues, approximately Ps.5,915,263 in 2017 and Ps.4,758,074 in 2016, will be reclassified to passenger revenues.

The Company also evaluated the principal versus agent considerations as it relates to certain non-air travel services arrangements with third party providers.

The Company has also identified and implemented changes to its accounting policies and practices, systems and controls, as well as designed and implemented specific controls over its evaluation of the impact of the new guidance on the Company, including the cumulative effect calculation, disclosure requirements and the collection of relevant data into the reporting process. While the Company is substantially complete with the process of quantifying the impacts from applying the new guidance, final impact assessment will be finalized during the first quarter of 2018.

IFRS 16 Leases

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’ assets (e.g., personal computers) and short-term leases (i.e., leases with a lease term of 12 months or less).

At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee will recognize a liability to make lease payments (i.e., the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (i.e., the right-of-use asset).

35 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

Lessees will be required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

Lessees will be also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (e.g., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognize the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

IFRS 16 also requires lessees to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.

IFRS 16 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2019. Early application is permitted, but not before an entity applies IFRS 15. A lessee can choose to apply the standard using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. The standard’s transition provisions permit certain reliefs.

The Company adopted IFRS 16 as of January 1st, 2019, using the full retrospective method. The cumulative effect of adopting IFRS 16 has been recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance as an increase in assets and liabilities and an adjustment in the retained earnings. The full disclosure of this initial adoption will be included in the Company´s 2018 annual report.

IFRS 2 Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions — Amendments to IFRS 2

In June 2016, the IASB issued amendments to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment that address three main areas: the effects of vesting conditions on the measurement of a cash-settled, share-based payment transaction; the classification of a share-based payment transaction with net settlement features for withholding tax obligations; and accounting where a modification to the terms and conditions of a share-based payment transaction changes its classification from cash-settled to equity-settled.

On adoption, entities are required to apply the amendments without restating prior periods, but retrospective application is permitted if elected for all three amendments and other criteria are met. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the amendments to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC 23 — Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments

IFRIC 23 clarifies the accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, the interpretation is to be applied to the determination of taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates, when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments under IAS 12.

An entity has to consider whether it is probable that the relevant authority will accept each tax treatment, or group of tax treatments, that it used or plans to use in its income tax filing; if the entity concludes that it is probable that a particular tax treatment is accepted, the entity has to determine taxable profit (tax loss), tax bases, unused tax losses, unused tax credits or tax rates consistently with the tax treatment included in its income tax filings.

IFRIC 23 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019. Earlier application is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this interpretation at the effective date.

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 December 31, 2018 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, using an exchange rate of Ps.19.6829 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 December 31, 2018. 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 stemmed from exogenous variables which are not under their 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 net earnings and working capital requirements. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge part of such risks. The Company does not enter into 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.

37 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

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 unit, which identifies and measures financial risk exposures, in order to design the 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 which might have an impact in the forecasted consumption volumes. The Company’s jet fuel risk management policy aims to provide the Company with protection against increases in jet fuel prices. In an effort to achieve the aforesaid, the risk management policy allows the use of derivative financial instruments available on over the counter (“OTC”) markets with approved counterparties and within approved limits. Aircraft jet fuel consumed in the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 represented 38% and 30%, of the Company’s operating expenses, respectively. Additionally, aircraft jet fuel consumed for the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 represented 36% and 29%, of the Company’s operating expenses, respectively.

During the three months period ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian call options designated to hedge 26.6 million gallons. Such hedges represent a portion of the projected consumption for the full year 2019.

During the three months period ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian Zero-Cost collars options designated to hedge 19.0 million gallons. Such hedges represent a portion of the projected consumption for the first half 2019.

During the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company did not enter into US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian call options or US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian Zero-Cost collars options.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company enter into US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian Zero-Cost collars options designated to hedge 19.0 million gallons. Such hedges represent a portion of the projected consumption for the first half 2019.

During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 the Company entered into US Gulf Coast Jet fuel 54 Asian call options designated to hedge 26.6 and 61.1 million gallons respectively. Such hedges represent a portion of the projected consumption for the twelve months 2019 and the next nine months respectively.

The Company decided to early adopt IFRS 9 (2013), beginning on October 1, 2014, which allows the Company to separate the intrinsic value and time value of an option contract and to designate as the hedging instrument only the change in the intrinsic value of the option. Because the external value (time value) of the Asian call options are related to a “transaction related hedged item,” it is required to be segregated and accounted for as a “cost of hedging” in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and accrued as a separate component of stockholders’ equity until the related hedged item affects profit and loss.

38 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

The underlying (US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54) of the options held by the Company is a consumption asset (energy commodity), which is not in the Company’s inventory. Instead, it is directly consumed by the Company’s fleet at different airport terminals. Therefore, although a non-financial asset is involved, its initial recognition does not generate a book adjustment in the Company’s inventories. Rather, it is initially accounted for in the Company’s OCI and a reclassification adjustment is made from OCI to profit and loss and recognized in the same period or periods in which the hedged item is expected to be allocated to profit and loss. Furthermore, the Company hedges its forecasted jet fuel consumption month after month, which is congruent with the maturity date of the monthly serial Asian call options and Asian Zero-Cost collars options.

As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of the outstanding US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel Asian call options was a gain of Ps.48,199; as for the Asian Zero-Cost collars options it was a loss of Ps.122,948 and is presented as part of the financial assets and liabilities in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

As of December 31, 2017, the fair value of the outstanding US Gulf Coast Jet Fuel Asian call options was a gain of Ps.497,403, and is presented as part of the financial assets in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of financial position.

The amount of cost of hedging derived from the extrinsic value changes of these options as of December 31, 2018 recognized in other comprehensive income totals Ps.134,096 (the positive cost of hedging in December 2017 totals Ps.163,836), and will be recycled to the fuel cost during 2019, as these options expire on a monthly basis.

During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the net cost of these options recycled to the fuel cost was a benefit of Ps.38,443 and Ps.102,906, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the net cost of these options recycled to the fuel cost was a (benefit) and expense of (Ps.402,493) and Ps.26,980, respectively.

b) Foreign currency risk

While Mexican Peso is the functional currency of the Company, a significant portion of its operating expenses is denominated in U.S. dollar; thus, Volaris relies on sustained U.S. dollar cash flows coming from operations in the United States of America and Central America to support part of its commitments in such currency, however there’s still a mismatch. Foreign currency risk arises from possible unfavorable movements in the exchange rate which could have a negative impact in the Company’s cash flows. To mitigate this risk, the Company may use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments.

Most of the Company’s revenue is generated in Mexican pesos, although during the year ended December 31, 2018, 32% of its revenues came from operations in the United States of America and Central America (30% for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017).

For the three months ended December 31, 2018, 32% of the Company´s revenues came from operations in the United States of America and Central America (32% for the three months ended December 31, 2017).

U.S. dollar denominated collections accounted for 38% and 40% of the Company’s total collections in 2018 and 2017, respectively. However, certain of its expenditures, particularly those related to aircraft leasing and acquisition, are also U.S. dollar denominated. In addition, although jet fuel for those flights originated in Mexico are paid in Mexican pesos, the price formula is impacted by the Mexican Pesos /U.S. dollars exchange rate.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into Plain Vanilla Mexican peso /U.S. dollar FX forward contracts to hedge approximately 20% of its next twelve months aircraft rental expenses.

A portion of the Company’s position in FX plain vanilla forwards matured throughout the fourth quarter of 2018 (November & December).

As of December 31, 2018, the unrealized gains of Ps.14,241 relating to the foreign currency forward contracts is included in OCI.

For the year ended December 31, 2018, the net gain on the foreign currency forward contracts was Ps.52,516, which was recognized as part of rental expense in the consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the net loss on the foreign currency forward contracts was Ps. 11,290 which was recognized as part of rental expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

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 most cases, when a derivative can be tailored within the terms and it perfectly matches cash flows of a leasing agreement, it may be designated as a “cash flow hedge” and the effective portion of fair value variations are recorded in equity until the date the cash flow of the hedged lease payment is recognized in unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations.

For the twelve and three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not have interest rate swaps.

All of the Company’s position in the form of interest rate swaps matured on March 31, 2017 and April 30, 2017, consequently there is no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2017.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, the reported loss on the interest rate swaps was Ps.13,827, which was recognized as part of rental expense in the consolidated statements of operations.

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.

The Company has a high receivable turnover; hence management believes credit risk is minimal due to the nature of its businesses, which have a large portion of their sales settled in credit cards.

The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

Some of the outstanding derivative financial instruments expose the Company to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. However, the Company does not expect any of its counterparties to fail to meet their obligations. The amount of such credit exposure is generally the unrealized gain, if any, in such contracts. To manage credit risk, the Company selects counterparties based on credit assessments, limits overall exposure to any single counterparty and monitors the market position with each counterparty. The Company does not purchase or hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. At December 31, 2018, the Company concluded that its credit risk related to its outstanding derivative financial instruments is low, since it has no significant concentration with any single counterparty and it only enters into derivative financial instruments with banks with high credit-rating assigned by international credit-rating agencies.

f) Capital management

Management believes that the resources available to the Company are sufficient for its present requirements and will be sufficient to meet its anticipated requirements for capital expenditures and other cash requirements for the 2018 fiscal year.

The primary objective of the Company’s capital management is to ensure that it maintains healthy capital ratios to support its business and maximize the shareholder’s value. No changes were made in the objectives, policies or processes for managing capital during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018. The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirement, other than the legal reserve.

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.

The assessment of a non-financial asset’s fair value considers the 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.

Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

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:

During the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company entered into sale and leaseback transactions, resulting in a gain of Ps.146,698 and Ps.65,886.

During the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company entered into sale and leaseback transactions, resulting in a gain of Ps.608,523 and Ps.65,886, respectively, these gains were recorded under the caption other income in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company entered into aircraft and spare engines sale and leaseback transactions, which resulted in a loss of Ps.30,706. This loss was deferred on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of financial position and is being amortized over the contractual lease term. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the current portion of the loss on sale amounts to Ps.3,047 and Ps.3,047, respectively, which is recorded in the caption of prepaid expenses and other current assets, and the non-current portion amounts to Ps.8,366 and Ps.11,413, respectively, which is recorded in the caption of other assets.

For the three months ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company amortized a loss of Ps.762, and Ps.762, respectively, as additional aircraft rental expense.

For the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company amortized a loss of Ps.3,047, and Ps.3,047, respectively, as additional aircraft rental expense.

Litigation

a) 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.

On January 18, 2018, the Mexican antitrust authority, Comisión Federal de Competencia Económica (“COFECE”), served Volaris with a preliminary ruling of potential responsibility (Dictamen de Probable Responsabilidad or “DPR”) in which the investigating body of COFECE asserts certain allegations regarding antitrust activities in Mexico´s domestic commercial air passenger transportation market during the period from April 2008 up to February 2010 by different Mexican carriers, including Volaris. The DPR does not constitute a final ruling of culpability against Volaris. Since all the activities which were allegedly committed by the carriers were committed within the framework of the Mexican Federal Antitrust Law (Ley Federal de Competencia Económica) in effect during 2010, any applicable fines would be made pursuant to such 2010 law. The maximum fine contemplated by Article 35 section IV of such law is one million five hundred thousand times the minimum wage for Mexico City in effect during 2010. Therefore, in the event that the final ruling imposes a fine on Volaris, such fine is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial position or performance of the Company. Nevertheless, the COFECE proceedings are ongoing and the Company cannot predict the final outcome of such proceedings and accordingly the Company has not established a provision on the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a loss arising from this assessment.

Notes - List of accounting policies

Basis of preparation

Statement of compliance

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, which include the consolidated statements of financial position as of December 31, 2018 (unaudited) and December 31, 2017 (adjusted), and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for each of the twelve months period ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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, 2017 and 2016 (audited), and for the three years period ended December 31, 2017.

Basis of measurement and presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical-cost convention, except for derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value and investments in marketable securities measured at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”). The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

a) Basis of consolidation

The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent Company, using consistent accounting policies.

Control is achieved when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Company controls an investee if, and only if, the Company has:

	(i)	Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee).
	(ii)	Exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.
	(iii)	The ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns.

When the Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

	(i)	The contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee.
	(ii)	Rights arising from other contractual arrangements.
	(iii)	The Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Company re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Company gains control until the date the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

63 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

All intercompany balances, transactions, unrealized gains and losses resulting from intercompany transactions are eliminated in full.

On consolidation, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into Mexican pesos at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their statements of profit or loss are translated at exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions. The exchange differences arising on translation for consolidation are recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). On disposal of a foreign operation, the component of OCI relating to that particular foreign operation is recognized in profit or loss.

b) Revenue recognition

During the first quarter 2018, the Company adopted IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers.

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and amended in April 2016 and establishes a five-step model to account for 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 supersedes all current revenue recognition requirements under IFRS, including IAS 18. IFRS 15 also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing, and uncertainty of revenue cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments.

During 2016, the Company performed a preliminary assessment of IFRS 15, which was continued with a more detailed analysis completed in 2017. The main impact of IFRS 15 is the timing of recognition of certain air travel-related services (“ancillaries”). Under IAS 18 Revenue (standard used before IFRS 15), certain ancillaries are recognized as revenue at the time of the booking by customer (or when the service is provided); under the new standard, those ancillaries are recognized when the air transportation service is rendered (at the time of the flight). This change arises primarily because those ancillaries do not constitute separate performance obligations or represent administrative tasks that do not represent a promised service and therefore should be accounted for together with the air fare as a single performance obligation of providing passenger transportation. Also, certain services provided to the Company’s customers that under the new standard qualify as variable considerations that will be recorded as reduction to revenues. The Company considers this accounting change will not have a material impact on its results of operations and financial position.

The classification of certain ancillary fees in the statement of operations, such as advanced seat selection, fees charges for excess baggage, itinerary changes and other air travel-related services, changed upon adoption of IFRS 15 since they are part of the single performance obligation of providing passenger transportation. The revenues classified as non-ticket revenues, by an approximately amount of Ps.5,915,263 in 2017 and Ps.4,758,074 in 2016, were reclassified to passenger revenues.

The Company also evaluated the principal versus agent considerations as it relates to certain non-air travel services arrangements with third party providers. The Company expects that there will be no changes on revenue.

64 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

Passenger revenues:

Revenues from the air transportation of passengers are recognized at the earlier of when the service is provided or when the non-refundable ticket expires at the date of the scheduled travel.

Ticket sales for future flights are initially recognized as liabilities under the caption unearned transportation revenue and, once the transportation service is provided by the Company or when the non-refundable ticket expires at the date of the scheduled travel, the earned revenue is recognized as passenger ticket revenues and the unearned transportation revenue is reduced by the same amount. All of the Company’s tickets are non-refundable and are subject to change upon a payment of a fee. Additionally, the Company does not operate a frequent flier program.

The most significant passenger revenue includes revenues generated from: (i) fare revenue and (ii) air-related services. Air travel-related services include but are not limited to fees charged for excess baggage, bookings through the call center or third-party agencies, advanced seat selection, itinerary changes, charters and airport passenger facility charges for no-show tickets. They are recognized as revenue when the obligation of passenger transportation service is provided by the Company or when the non-refundable ticket expires at the date of the scheduled travel.

Non-passenger revenues:

The most significant non-passenger revenues include revenues generated from: (i) revenues from non-air travel-related services and (ii) cargo services.

Revenues from non-air travel-related services include commissions charged to third parties for the sale of hotel rooms, trip insurance and rental cars. They are recognized as revenue at the time the service is provided. Additionally, services not directly related to air transportation include Volaris’ sale of VClub membership and the sale of advertising spaces to third parties. VClub membership fees are recognized as revenues over the term of the membership. Revenue from the sale of advertising spaces is recognized over the period in which the space is provided.

Revenues from cargo services are recognized when the cargo transportation is provided (upon delivery of the cargo to destination).

c) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by bank deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the original purchase date.

For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term investments as defined above.

d) Financial instruments

Adoption of IFRS 9 (2013)

A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument for another entity. The Company early adopted IFRS 9 on October 1, 2014.

Under IFRS 9 (2013), the FVTPL category used under IAS 39 remains permissible, although new categories of financial assets are introduced. These new categories are based on the characteristics of the instruments and the business model under which these are held, to either be measured at fair value or at amortized cost.

For financial liabilities, categories provided under IAS 39 are kept. As a result, there was no difference in valuation and recognition of the financial assets under IFRS 9 (2013), since those financial assets categorized under IAS 39 as FVTPL remain in that same category under IFRS 9 (2013). In the case of trade receivables, these were not affected in terms of valuation model by this version of IFRS 9 (2013), since they are carried at amortized cost and continued to be accounted for as such.

65 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

Also, the hedge accounting section of IFRS 9 (2013) requires for options that qualify and are formally designated as hedging instruments, the intrinsic value of the option to be defined as the hedging instrument, thus allowing for the exclusion of changes in fair value attributable to extrinsic value (time value and volatility), to be accounted, under the transaction-related method, separately as a cost of hedging that needs to be initially recognized in OCI and accumulated in a separate component of equity, since the hedged item is a portion of the forecasted jet fuel consumption. The extrinsic value is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations when the hedged item is recognized in income.

IFRS 9 requires the Company to record expected credit losses on all trade receivables, either on a 12 month or lifetime basis. The Company recorded lifetime expected losses on all trade receivables.

e) Financial assets

Classification of financial assets

The Company determines the classification and measurement of financial assets, in accordance with the new categories introduced by IFRS 9 (2013), which are based on both: the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of these assets and the business model objective for holding them.

Financial assets include those carried at FVTPL, whose objective to hold them is for trading purposes (short-term investments), or at amortized cost, for accounts receivables held to collect the contractual cash flows, which are characterized by solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Derivative financial instruments are also considered financial assets when these represent contractual rights to receive cash or another financial asset.

Initial recognition

All the Company’s financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, including derivative financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their initial classification, as is described below:

	1.	Financial assets at FVTPL which include financial assets held for trading.
	2.	Financial assets at amortized cost, whose characteristics meet the SPPI criterion and were originated to be held to collect principal and interest in accordance with the Company’s business model.
	3.	Derivative financial instruments are designated for hedging purposes under the cash flow hedge (“CFH”) accounting model and are measured at fair value.

Derecognition

A financial asset (or, where applicable, a part of a financial asset or part of a group of similar financial assets) is derecognized when:

The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

The Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset or has assumed an obligation to pay the received cash flows in full without material delay to a third party under a ‘pass-through’ arrangement; and either (i) the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, or (ii) the Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset; or

When the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a pass-through arrangement, it evaluates if and to what extent it has retained the risks and rewards of ownership. When it has neither transferred nor retained substantially all of the risks and rewards of the asset, nor transferred control of the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement in the asset. In that case, the Company also recognizes an associated liability. The transferred asset and the associated liability are measured on a basis that reflects the rights and obligations that the Company has retained.

66 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

ii) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses, at each reporting date, whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired. An impairment exists if one or more events has occurred since the initial recognition of an asset (an incurred ‘loss event’), that has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include indications that the debtors or a group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty, default or delinquency in receivable, the probability that they will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults.

For trade receivables, the Company records allowance for credit losses in accordance with the objective evidence of the incurred losses. Based on this evaluation, allowances are taken into account for the expected losses of these receivables.

iii) Financial liabilities

Classification of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities under IFRS 9 (2013) are classified at amortized cost or at FVTPL.

Derivative financial instruments are also considered financial liabilities when these represent contractual obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset.

Initial recognition

The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.

The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable to suppliers, unearned transportation revenue, other accounts payable, financial debt and financial instruments.

Subsequent measurement

The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Accounts payable are subsequently measured at amortized cost and do not bear interest or result in gains and losses due to their short-term nature.

After initial recognition at fair value (consideration received), interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.

Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on issuance and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included as finance costs in the consolidated statements of operations. This amortized cost category generally applies to interest-bearing loans and borrowings.

67 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

Financial liabilities at FVTPL

FVTPL include financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities under the fair value option are classified as held for trading, if they are acquired for the purpose of selling them in the near future. This category includes derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9 (2013). During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 the Company has not designated any financial liability as at FVTPL.

Derecognition

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled, or expires. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability. The difference in the respective carrying amounts is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the consolidated statement of financial position if there is:

	(i)	A currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts, and
	(ii)	An intention to settle on a net basis, to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

f) Other accounts receivable

Other accounts receivables are due primarily from major credit card processors associated with the sales of tickets and are stated at cost less allowances made for credit losses, which approximates fair value given their short-term nature.

g) Inventories

Inventories consist primarily of flight equipment expendable parts, materials and supplies, and are initially recorded at acquisition cost. Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and their net realization value. The cost is determined on the basis of the method of specific identification, and expensed when used in operations.

h) Intangible assets

Cost related to the purchase or development of computer software that is separable from an item of related hardware is capitalized separately and amortized over the period in which it will generate benefits not exceeding five years on a straight-line basis. The Company annually reviews the estimated useful lives and salvage values of intangible assets and any changes are accounted for prospectively.

The Company records impairment charges on intangible assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets or related cash generating unit may be impaired and the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of (i) its fair value less cost to sell, and (ii) its value in use.

The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model, using our projections of operating results for the near future. The recoverable amount of long-lived assets is sensitive to the uncertainties inherent in the preparation of projections and the discount rate used in the calculation.

i) Guarantee deposits

Guarantee deposits consist primarily of aircraft maintenance deposits paid to lessors, deposits for rent of flight equipment and other guarantee deposits. Aircraft and engine deposits are held by lessors in U.S. dollars and are presented as current assets and non-current assets, based on the recovery dates of each deposit established in the related agreements.

Aircraft maintenance deposits paid to lessors

Most of the Company’s lease agreements require the Company to pay maintenance deposits to aircraft lessors to be held as collateral in advance of the Company’s performance of major maintenance activities. These lease agreements provide that maintenance deposits are reimbursable to the Company upon completion of the maintenance event in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount of the maintenance deposits held by the lessor associated with the specific maintenance event, or (ii) the qualifying costs related to the specific maintenance event.

Substantially all of these maintenance deposits are calculated based on a utilization measure of the leased aircrafts and engines, such as flight hours or cycles, and are used solely to collateralize the lessor for maintenance time run off the aircraft and engines until the completion of the maintenance of the aircraft and engines.

Maintenance deposits expected to be recovered from lessors are reflected as guarantee deposits in the accompanying consolidated statement of financial position. The portion of prepaid maintenance deposits that is deemed unlikely to be recovered, primarily relating to the rate differential between the maintenance deposits and the expected cost for the next related maintenance event that the deposits serve to collateralize, is recognized as supplemental rent in the consolidated statements of operations. Thus, any excess of the required deposit over the expected cost of the major maintenance event is recognized as supplemental rent in the consolidated statements of operations starting from the period the determination is made.

Any usage-based maintenance deposits to be paid to the lessor, related with a major maintenance event that (i) is not expected to be performed before the expiration of the lease agreement, (ii) is nonrefundable to the Company and (iii) is not substantively related to the maintenance of the leased asset, is accounted for as contingent rent in the consolidated statements of operations. The Company records lease payment as contingent rent when it becomes probable and reasonably estimable that the maintenance deposits payments will not be refunded.

During the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company added five and 17 new aircraft to its fleet, respectively. Some lease agreements of these aircraft do not require the obligation to pay maintenance deposits to lessors in advance in order to ensure major maintenance activities, so the Company does not record guarantee deposits regarding these aircraft. However, some of these agreements provide the obligation to make a maintenance adjustment payment to the lessors at the end of the contract period. This adjustment covers maintenance events that are not expected to be made before the termination of the contract. The Company recognizes this cost as a contingent rent during the lease term of the related aircraft, in the consolidated statement of operations.

The Company makes certain assumptions at the inception of the lease and at each consolidated statement of financial position date to determine the recoverability of maintenance deposits. These assumptions are based on various factors such as the estimated time between the maintenance events, the date the aircraft is due to be returned to the lessor, and the number of flight hours the aircraft and engines is estimated to be utilized before it is returned to the lessor.

In the event that lease extensions are negotiated, any extension benefit is recognized as a deferred lease incentive. The aggregate benefit of extension is recognized as a reduction of rental expense on a straight-line basis, except where another systematic basis is more representative of the time pattern in which economic benefits from the leased asset are consumed.

During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company extended the lease term of three and two aircraft agreements, respectively, and two engine agreements in 2017. These extensions made available to the Company maintenance deposits that were recognized in prior periods in the consolidated statements of operations as contingent rent. The maintenance event for which the maintenance deposits were previously expensed was scheduled to occur after the original lease term and as such the contingent rental payments were expensed. However, when the leases were amended the maintenance deposits amounts became probable of recovery due to the longer lease term and as such they are being recognized as an asset.

The effect of these lease extensions were recognized as a guarantee deposit and a deferred lease incentive in the consolidated statements of financial position at the time of lease extension.

Because the lease extension benefits are considered lease incentives, the benefits are deferred in the statement of financial position and are being recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining revised lease terms.

j) Aircraft and engine maintenance

The Company is required to conduct diverse levels of aircraft maintenance. Maintenance requirements depend on the type of aircraft, age and the route network over which it operates.

Fleet maintenance requirements may involve short cycle engineering checks, for example, component checks, monthly checks, annual airframe checks and periodic major maintenance and engine checks.

Aircraft maintenance and repair consists of routine and non-routine works, divided into three general categories: (i) routine maintenance, (ii) major maintenance and (iii) component service.

(i) Routine maintenance requirements consists of scheduled maintenance checks on the Company’s aircraft, including pre-flight, daily, weekly and overnight checks, any diagnostics and routine repairs and any unscheduled tasks performed as required. This type of maintenance events is currently serviced by the Company mechanics and are primarily completed at the main airports that the Company currently serves. All other maintenance activities are sub-contracted to qualified maintenance business partner, repair and overhaul organizations. Routine maintenance also includes scheduled tasks that can take from seven to 14 days to accomplish and typically are required approximately every 22 months. All routine maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

(ii) Major maintenance consist of a series of more complex tasks that can take up to six weeks to accomplish and typically are required approximately every five to six years.

Major maintenance is accounted for under the deferral method, whereby the cost of major maintenance and major overhaul and repair is capitalized (leasehold improvements to flight equipment) and amortized over the shorter of the period to the next major maintenance event or the remaining contractual lease term. The next major maintenance event is estimated based on assumptions including estimated usage. The United States Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) and the Mexican Civil Aeronautic Authority (Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil, or “DGAC”) mandate maintenance intervals and average removal times as suggested by the manufacturer.

These assumptions may change based on changes in the utilization of aircraft, changes in government regulations and suggested manufacturer maintenance intervals. In addition, these assumptions can be affected by unplanned incidents that could damage an airframe, engine, or major component to a level that would require a heavy maintenance event prior to a scheduled maintenance event. To the extent the planned usage increases, the estimated life would decrease before the next maintenance event, resulting in additional expense over a shorter period.

(iii) The Company has a power-by-the hour agreement for component services, which guarantees the availability of aircraft parts for the Company’s fleet when they are required. It also provides aircraft parts that are included in the redelivery conditions of the contract (hard time) without constituting an additional cost at the time of redelivery. The monthly maintenance cost associated with this agreement is recognized as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations.

The Company has an engine flight hour agreement that guarantees a cost per overhaul, provides miscellaneous engines coverage, caps the cost of foreign objects damage events, ensures there is protection from annual escalations, and grants an annual credit for scrapped components. The cost associated with the miscellaneous engines coverage is recorded as incurred in the consolidated statements of operations.

k) Rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment, net

Rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment, are recorded at cost and are depreciated to estimated residual values over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method.

Aircraft spare engines have significant parts with different useful lives; therefore, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of rotable spare parts.

Pre-delivery payments refer to prepayments made to aircraft and engine manufacturers during the manufacturing stage of the aircraft.

The borrowing costs related to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset.

Depreciation rates are as follows:

		Annual depreciation rate
Aircraft parts and rotable spare parts		8.3-16.7%
Aircraft spare engines		4.0-8.3%
Standardization		Remaining contractual lease term
Computer equipment		25%
Communications equipment		10%
Office furniture and equipment		10%
Electric power equipment		10%
Workshop machinery and equipment		10%
Service carts on board		20%
Leasehold improvements to flight equipment		The shorter of: (i) remaining contractual lease term, or (ii) the next major maintenance event

71 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

The Company reviews annually the useful lives and salvage values of these assets and any changes are accounted for prospectively.

The Company records impairment charges on rotable spare parts, furniture and equipment used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets may be impaired or when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or related cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of (i) its fair value less cost to sell and (ii) its value in use.

l) Foreign currency transactions and exchange differences

The Company’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Mexican peso, which is the reporting and functional currency of the parent company. For each subsidiary, the Company determines the functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“the functional currency”).

The financial statements of foreign subsidiaries prepared under IFRS and denominated in their respective local currencies, are translated into the functional currency as follows:

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.

All monetary assets and liabilities were translated at the exchange rate at the consolidated statement of financial position date.

All non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

Equity accounts are translated at the prevailing exchange rate at the time the capital contributions were made and the profits were generated.

Revenues, costs and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate during the applicable period.

Any differences resulting from the currency translation are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.

Foreign currency differences arising on translation into the presentation currency are recognized in OCI.

m) Liabilities and provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre-tax rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

For the operating leases, the Company is contractually obligated to return the leased aircraft in a specific condition. The Company accrues for restitution costs related to aircraft held under operating leases throughout the term of the lease, based upon the estimated cost of satisfying the return condition criteria for each aircraft. These return obligations are related to the costs to be incurred in the reconfiguration of aircraft (interior and exterior), painting, carpeting and other costs, which are estimated based on current cost adjusted for inflation. The return obligation is estimated at the inception of each leasing arrangement and recognized over the term of the lease.

The Company records aircraft lease return obligation reserves based on the best estimate of the return obligation costs under each aircraft lease agreement.

The aircraft lease agreements of the Company also require that the aircraft and engines be returned to lessors under specific conditions of maintenance. The costs of return, which in no case are related to scheduled major maintenance, are estimated and recognized ratably as a provision from the time it becomes likely such costs will be incurred and can be estimated reliably. These return costs are recognized on a straight-line basis as a component of supplemental rent and the provision is included as part of other liabilities, through the remaining lease term. The Company estimates the provision related to airframe, engine overhaul and limited life parts using certain assumptions including the projected usage of the aircraft and the expected costs of maintenance tasks to be performed.

n) Employee benefits

i) Personnel vacations

The Company and its subsidiaries in Mexico and Central America recognize a reserve for the costs of paid absences, such as vacation time, based on the accrual method.

ii) Termination benefits

The Company recognizes a liability and expense for termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates:

a) When it can no longer withdraw the offer of those benefits; and

b) When it recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within the scope of IAS 37, Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, and involves the payment of termination benefits.

The Company is demonstrably committed to a termination when, and only when, it has a detailed formal plan for the termination and is without realistic possibility of withdrawal.

iii) Seniority premiums

In accordance with Mexican Labor Law, the Company provides seniority premium benefits to the employees which rendered services to its Mexican subsidiaries under certain circumstances. These benefits consist of a one-time payment equivalent to 12 days’ wages for each year of service (at the employee’s most recent salary, but not to exceed twice the legal minimum wage), payable to all employees with 15 or more years of service, as well as to certain employees terminated involuntarily prior to the vesting of their seniority premium benefit.

Obligations relating to seniority premiums other than those arising from restructurings, are recognized based upon actuarial calculations and are determined using the projected unit credit method.

Remeasurement gains and losses are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in OCI. Such remeasurement gains and losses are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation using a discount rate based on government bonds (Certificados de la Tesorería de la Federación, or “CETES” in Mexico), less the fair value of plan assets out of which the obligations are to be settled.

For entities in Costa Rica and Guatemala; there is no obligation to pay seniority premium or other retirement benefits.

iv) Incentives

The Company has a quarterly incentive plan for certain personnel whereby cash bonuses are awarded for meeting certain performance targets. These incentives are payable shortly after the end of each quarter and are accounted for as a short-term benefit under IAS 19, Employee Benefits. A provision is recognized based on the estimated amount of the incentive payment.

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company adopted a new short-term benefit plan for certain key personnel whereby cash bonuses are awarded when certain Company’s performance targets are met. These incentives are payable shortly after the end of each year and also are accounted for as a short-term benefit under IAS 19, Employee Benefits. A provision is recognized based on the estimated amount of the incentive payment.

v) Long-term retention plan (“LTRP”)

The Company has adopted a Long-term incentive plan (“LTIP”). This plan consists of a share purchase plan (equity-settled) and a share appreciation rights “SARs” plan (cash settled), and therefore accounted under IFRS 2 “Shared based payments”.

vi) Share-based payments

a) LTIP

- Share purchase plan (equity-settled)

Certain key employees of the Company receive additional benefits through a share purchase plan denominated in Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”), which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment. The cost of the equity-settled share purchase plan is measured at the grant date, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the share options were granted. The equity-settled compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the requisite service period.

- SARs plan (cash settled)

The Company granted SARs to key employees, which entitle them to a cash payment after a service period. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in the share price of the Company between the grant date and the time of exercise. The liability for the SARs is measured, initially and at the end of each reporting period until settled, at the fair value of the SARs, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the SARs were granted. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the requisite service period.

b) Management incentive plan (“MIP”)

- MIP I

Certain key employees of the Company receive additional benefits through a share purchase plan, which has been classified as an equity-settled share-based payment. The equity-settled compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the requisite service period.

74 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

- MIP II

On February 19, 2016, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized an extension to the MIP for certain key employees, this plan was named MIP II. In accordance with this plan, the Company granted SARs to key employees, which entitle them to a cash payment after a service period. The amount of the cash payment is determined based on the increase in the share price of the Company between the grant date and the time of exercise. The liability for the SARs is measured initially and at the end of each reporting period until settled at the fair value of the SARs, taking into account the terms and conditions on which the SARs were granted. The compensation cost is recognized in the consolidated statement of operations under the caption of salaries and benefits, over the requisite service period.

Long-term retention plan for 2018

The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting held on October 18, 2018, approved a new long-term retention plan for certain executives of the Company, through which the beneficiaries of the plan, will receive shares of the Company once the service conditions are met. This plan does not include cash compensations granted through appreciation rights on the Company's shares.

The retention plans granted in previous periods will continue in full force and effect until their respective due dates and the cash compensation derived from them will be settled according to the conditions established in each plan.

vii) Employee profit sharing

For the years ended December 2017 and 2016, the Mexican Income Tax Law (“MITL”), establishes that the base for computing current year employee profit sharing shall be the taxpayer’s taxable income of the year for income tax purposes, including certain adjustments established in the Income Tax Law, at the rate of 10%. The cost of employee profit sharing earned for the current-year is presented as an expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Subsidiaries in Central America do not have such profit sharing benefit, as it is not required by local regulation.

o) Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of the arrangement at inception date, whether fulfillment of the arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets or the arrangement conveys a right to use the asset, even if that right is not explicitly specified in an arrangement.

Property and equipment lease agreements are recognized as finance leases if the risks and benefits incidental to ownership of the leased assets have been transferred to the Company when (i) the ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the Company upon termination of the lease; (ii) the agreement includes an option to purchase the asset at a reduced price; (iii) the term of the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the leased asset; (iv) the present value of minimum lease payments is at least substantially all of the fair value of the leased asset; or (v) the leased asset is of a specialized nature for the Company.

When the risks and benefits incidental to the ownership of the leased asset remain mostly with the lessor, they are classified as operating leases and rental payments are charged to results of operations on a straight-line over the term of the lease.

The Company’s lease contracts for aircraft, engines and components parts are classified as operating leases.

Sale and leaseback

The Company enters into sale and leaseback agreements whereby an aircraft or engine is sold to a lessor upon delivery and the lessor agrees to lease such aircraft or engine back to the Company. Leases under sale and leaseback agreements meet the conditions for treatment as operating leases.

Profit or loss related to a sale transaction followed by an operating lease, is accounted for as follows:

(i)

Profit or loss is recognized immediately when it is clear that the transaction is established at fair value.

75 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

(ii)

If the sale price is at or below fair value, any profit or loss is recognized immediately. However, if the loss is compensated for by future lease payments at below market price, such loss is recognized as an asset in the consolidated statements of financial position, and amortized to the consolidated statements of operations in proportion to the lease payments over the contractual lease term.

(iii)

If the sale price is above fair value, the excess of the price above the fair value is deferred and amortized to the consolidated statements of operations over the asset’s expected lease term, including probable renewals, with the amortization recorded as a reduction of rent expense.

p) Other taxes and fees payable

The Company is required to collect certain taxes and fees from customers on behalf of government agencies and airports and to remit these to the applicable governmental entity or airport on a periodic basis. These taxes and fees include federal transportation taxes, federal security charges, airport passenger facility charges, and foreign arrival and departure fees. These charges are collected from customers at the time they purchase their tickets, but are not included in passenger revenue. The Company records a liability upon collection from the customer and discharges the liability when payments are remitted to the applicable governmental entity or airport.

q) Income taxes

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current period are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the tax authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted, at the reporting date.

Current income tax relating to items recognized directly in equity is recognized in equity and not in the income statement. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes at the reporting date.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except, in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries when the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, the carry-forward of unused tax credits and any available tax losses. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry-forward of unused tax credits and available tax losses can be utilized, except, in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

76 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

The Company considers the following criteria in assessing the probability that taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized: (a) whether the entity has sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, which will result in taxable amounts against which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized before they expire; (b) whether it is probable that the Company will have taxable profits before the unused tax losses or unused tax credits expire; (c) whether the unused tax losses result from identifiable causes which are unlikely to recur; and (d) whether tax planning opportunities are available to the Company that will create taxable profit in the period in which the unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profits will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction in OCI.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

The charge for income taxes incurred is computed based on tax laws approved in Mexico, Costa Rica and Guatemala at the date of the consolidated statement of financial position.

r) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting

The Company mitigates certain financial risks, such as volatility in the price of jet fuel, adverse changes in interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments.

In accordance with IFRS 9 (2013), derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. At inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting; as well as, the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the hedging strategy and objective, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risks being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk(s).

Only if such hedges are expected to be effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedge item(s) and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated, hedge accounting treatment can be used.

77 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

Under the CFH accounting model, the effective portion of the hedging instrument’s changes in fair value is recognized in OCI, while the ineffective portion is recognized in current year earnings. During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no ineffectiveness with respect to derivative financial instruments. The amounts recognized in OCI are transferred to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

The realized gain or loss of derivative financial instruments that qualify as CFH is recorded in the same caption of the hedged item in the consolidated statement of operations.

Accounting for the time value of options

The Company accounts for the time value of options in accordance with IFRS 9 (2013), which requires all derivative financial instruments to be initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent measurement for options purchased and designated as CFH requires that the option’s changes in fair value be segregated into its intrinsic value (which will be considered the hedging instrument’s effective portion in OCI) and its correspondent changes in extrinsic value (time value and volatility). The extrinsic value changes will be considered as a cost of hedging (recognized in OCI in a separate component of equity) and accounted for in income when the hedged items also is recognized in income.

s) Financial instruments – Disclosures

IFRS 7 requires a three-level hierarchy for fair value measurement disclosures and requires entities to provide additional disclosures about the relative reliability of fair value measurements.

t) Treasury shares

The Company’s equity instruments that are reacquired (treasury shares), are recognized at cost and deducted from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of treasury shares. Any difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received, if reissued, is recognized in additional paid in capital.

Share-based payment options exercised during the reporting period are settled with treasury shares.

u) Operating segments

The Company is managed as a single business unit that provides air transportation and related services, accordingly it has only one operating segment.

The Company has two geographic areas identified as domestic (Mexico) and international (United States of America and Central America).

v) Current versus non-current classification

The Company presents assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset is current when it is: (i) expected to be realized or intended to be sold or consumed in normal operating cycle, (ii) expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period, or, (iii) cash or cash equivalent unless restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. All other assets are classified as non-current.

78 of 79

VLRS	Consolidated
Ticker: VLRS	Quarter: 4 Year: 2018

A liability is current when: (i) it is expected to be settled in normal operating cycle, (ii) it is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, or, (iii) there is no unconditional right to defer the settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. The Company classifies all other liabilities as non-current. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as noncurrent assets and liabilities.

Passenger Traffic Stimulation, Further Ancillary Revenue Expansion, and Positive TRASM Trend Reaching Almost the Same Level Last Year

Passenger traffic stimulation: Volaris booked 5.0 million passengers in the fourth quarter 2018 and 18.4 million passengers in full year 2018, up 17.4% and 12.0% year over year. Volaris traffic (measured in terms of revenue passenger miles, or RPMs) increased 17.1% and 11.5% for the same period, respectively. System load factor during the quarter and full year increased 3.9 percentage points and 0.1 percentage points to 86.5% and 84.5% year over year, respectively.

Positive TRASM trend almost at the same level of last year: For the fourth quarter and full year 2018, TRASM increased 8.4% and decreased 1.1% year over year, respectively. During the fourth quarter and full year 2018, the total capacity, in terms of ASMs, increased 11.8% and 11.4% year over year, respectively.

Total ancillary revenue growth: For the fourth quarter and full year 2018, total ancillary revenues increased 42.4% and 26.0% year over year, respectively. Total ancillary revenues per passenger for the fourth quarter of 2018 and full year increased 21.3% and 12.5% year over year, respectively. The total ancillary revenue generation continues to grow with new and matured products, appealing to customers’ needs, representing 33.8% in our full year figures of the total operating revenues.

New routes: In the fourth quarter 2018, Volaris began operations in 16 new domestic routes from its focus cities Mexico City, Bajio, Guadalajara and Tijuana and four new international routes (Guadalajara, Jalisco to Charlotte, North Carolina; Bajio to Sacramento, California and Bajio to San Jose, California; and Guadalajara, Jalisco to Albuquerque, New Mexico). Additionally, Volaris launched one domestic route (Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua to Culiacan, Sinaloa).

Despite Fuel Price Pressure and Exchange Rate Depreciation, Offset Mainly by Cost Control Discipline

CASM and CASM ex fuel for the fourth quarter 2018 were Ps.138.0 (US$7.0 cents) and Ps.85.3 cents (US$4.3 cents), respectively. This represented an increase of 3.8% and a decrease of 7.9%, respectively; mainly driven by higher average economic fuel cost per gallon of 32.8% and an average exchange rate depreciation of 4.7%, which were offset mainly by a tightening cost control discipline.

Young and Fuel-efficient Fleet

During the fourth quarter 2018, the Company incorporated four aircraft (three A320 neo and one A321 neo) to its fleet; during this quarter no redeliveries were registered. As of December 31, 2018, Volaris’ fleet was composed of 77 aircraft (8 A319s, 55 A320s and 14 A321s), with an average age of 4.6 years. At the end of the fourth quarter 2018, Volaris’ fleet had an average of 185 seats, 73% of which were in sharklet-equipped aircraft.

Solid Balance Sheet and Good Liquidity

During the fourth quarter and full year 2018, cash flow provided by operating activities were Ps.102 million and Ps.566 million, respectively; cash flow used in investing activities were Ps.748 million and Ps.1,389 million, respectively; cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities were Ps.151 million and (Ps.235) million, respectively; despite the net foreign exchange differences represent an increase of Ps.277 million and decrease of Ps.29 million for the fourth quarter and full year, respectively. Year over year the cash and cash equivalents for the fourth quarter and full year decrease Ps.218 million and Ps.1,088 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2018, cash and cash equivalents were Ps.5,863 million, representing 21.5% of last twelve months operating revenues. Volaris registered negative net debt (or a positive net cash position) of Ps.2,340 million and total equity of Ps.9,182 million.

Active in Risk Management

Volaris remains active in its fuel risk management program. Volaris used call options to hedge 46% of its fourth quarter 2018 fuel consumption, at an average strike price of US $1.85 per gallon, which combined with the 54% unhedged consumption, resulted in a blended average economic fuel cost of US$2.5 per gallon.

IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers

During 1Q 2018, we adopted IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” which replaces existing revenue recognition guidance, including IAS 18 “Revenue”. IFRS 15 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers.

The adoption of the IFRS 15 impacted the classification and timing of recognition of certain ancillary items such as bags, advanced seat selection, itinerary changes and other air travel-related fees, since they are deemed part of the single performance obligation of providing passenger transportation. These ancillary items are now recognized in passenger revenue (disclosed in the consolidated statement of operations including in these quarterly earnings release as “other passenger revenue”).

Non-passenger revenue primarily consists of revenue from the sale of other items such as rental cars, insurance, hotels and cargo. This change did not have a material impact on our income statement or balance sheet in any period presented.

This quarterly earnings release includes supplemental information for comparable basis, with recast amounts with the IFRS 15 adoption effects, and were derived from unaudited financial statements included in the quarterly reports on Form 6-K during the year ended December 31, 2017.

IFRS 16: Leases

IFRS 16 was issued in January 2016 and it replaces IAS 17 Leases, IFRIC 4 Determining whether an Arrangement contains a Lease, SIC-15 Operating Leases-Incentives and SIC-27 Evaluating the Substance of Transactions Involving the Legal Form of a Lease. IFRS 16 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases and requires lessees to account for all leases under a single on-balance sheet accounting model similar to the accounting for finance leases under IAS 17. The standard includes two recognition exemptions for lessees – leases of ’low-value’ assets (i.e., personal computers) and short-term leases (leases with a lease term of 12 months or less). At the commencement date of a lease, a lessee recognizes a liability to make lease payments (the lease liability) and an asset representing the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term (the right-of-use asset). Lessees are required to separately recognize the interest expense on the lease liability and the depreciation expense on the right-of-use asset.

Lessees are also required to remeasure the lease liability upon the occurrence of certain events (i.e., a change in the lease term, a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine those payments). The lessee will generally recognize the amount of the remeasurement of the lease liability as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset. In addition, for leases denominated in a foreign currency other than lessee’s functional currency the Lease liability will be remeasured with a charge directly to income or expense in the current period.

IFRS 16 permits two different adoption models. Full retrospective model or modified retrospective model.

Cash Flows impact. Under IAS 17 cash flows related to rent payments were recorded as part of the operating cash flows, but under IFRS 16 the cash flows related to rental payments must be presented as part of the financial cash flows.

Income tax accounting. Under IFRS 16, based in the impacts and differences between the right of use asset and the lease liability, will be necessary: a) Recognition and measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities; and b) Assessment of the recoverability of deferred tax assets.

Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is substantially unchanged from accounting under IAS 17. Lessors continue to classify all leases using the same classification principle as in IAS 17 and distinguish between two types of leases: operating and finance leases.

IFRS 16, which is effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019, requires lessees and lessors to make more extensive disclosures than under IAS 17.
