On December 19, 2024, the Company entered into a pre-delivery payment financing with Runway Eleven Lender LLC at an annual interest rate of SOFR plus 275 basis points, for the acquisition of its aircraft through a revolving facility. For purposes of financing these pre-delivery payments, an Irish SPV was created whereby the Company assigned its rights and obligations under the Airbus Purchase Agreement with Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”), including its obligation to make pre-delivery payments. The “Runway Eleven Lender LLC” does not include financial covenants or financial obligations. On June 8, 2022, the Company entered into a pre-delivery payment financing with Santander/Bancomext at an annual interest rate of SOFR plus 298 basis points, for the acquisition of its aircraft through a revolving facility. For purposes of financing these pre-delivery payments, a Mexican trust was created whereby the Company assigned its rights and obligations under the Airbus Purchase Agreement with Airbus S.A.S. (“Airbus”), including its obligation to make pre-delivery payments to the Mexican trust. The Company guaranteed the obligations of the Mexican trusts under the financing agreement (CIBanco, S.A. Institución de Banca Múltiple) Trust 3853. A feature of this financing is that it will incur an additional five basis points if the sustainability goals are not met. On August 31, 2023, the interest rate increased by five basis points, with the possibility of mitigating the additional rate if the objectives are met in the upcoming years. In August 2024, the Company signed an amendment to increase the facility amount and to include the predelivery payments for additional aircraft, with a new maturity date on December 31, 2028. The “Santander/Bancomext” loan agreement provides for certain covenants, including limits to the ability to, among others:
| i) | Incur debt above a specified debt basket unless certain financial ratios are met.
| ii) | Create liens.
| iii) | Merge with or acquire any other entity without the previous authorization of the Banks.
| iv) | Dispose of certain assets.
| v) | Declare and pay dividends or make distributions on the Company’s share capital.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company complied with the covenants under the mentioned loan agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the outstanding balance of the financial debt related to finance pre-delivery payments of aircraft amounts to US$360,982, the Company covers this obligation through the sale and the collection made by the transaction denominated as sale and leaseback at the time of delivery; therefore, it does not represent a disbursement that directly impacts the Company’s working capital. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has signed credit lines totaling US$1,873,384, of which US$1,315,384 were related to financial debt (US$308,592 were undrawn) and US$558,000 were related to letters of credit (US$229,272 were undrawn). As of December 31, 2024, the Company had available lines of credit by US$537,864. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has signed credit lines totaling US$1,388,830, of which US$960,930 were related to financial debt (US$228,435 were undrawn) and US$427,900 were related to letters of credit (US$178,800 were undrawn). The Company signed in April 2022 three pre-delivery payments financing with lessors for the acquisition of aircraft. For this purpose, a Mexican trust was created for each contract (CIBanco, S.A. Institución de Banca Múltiple), for JSA International U.S. Holdings, LLC Trust 3866, for GY Aviation Lease 1714 Co. Limited Trust 3855, and Incline II B Shannon 18 Limited Trust 3867. These facilities do not include financial covenants or restrictions. The Company signed in July 2022 a pre-delivery payment financing with lessors for the acquisition of aircraft with Oriental Leasing 6 Company Limited. For this purpose, a Mexican trust was created with CIBanco, S.A. Institución de Banca Múltiple, Trust 3921. This facility does not include financial covenants or restrictions. On June 20, 2019, the Company, through its subsidiary Concesionaria, issued 15,000,000 asset-backed trust notes (“CEBUR”) under the ticket VOLARCB 19 for Ps.1.5 billion Mexican pesos (US$74 million, based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024) through the Fideicomiso Irrevocable de Administración número CIB/3249 created by Concesionaria. The issuance amount is part of a program approved by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) for an amount of up to Ps.3.0 billion Mexican pesos (US$148 million based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024). The notes had a five-year maturity annual reduction of Ps.250,000, Ps.500,000, Ps.500,000 and Ps.250,000 (US$12.3 million, US$24.7 million, US$24.7 million and US$12.3 million, based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 as of December 31, 2024) in 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, with a floating one-month coupon rate referenced to TIIE 28 plus 175 basis point spread. The notes started amortizing at the end of the second year. The asset-backed trust notes under the ticker VOLARCB19 were fully amortized on June 20, 2024. On October 13, 2021, the Company, through its subsidiary Concesionaria issued in the Mexico market a second issuance of 15,000,000 asset-backed trust notes (“CEBUR”) under the ticket VOLARCB21L for Ps.1.5 billion Mexican pesos (US$74 million, based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024) through the Fideicomiso Irrevocable de Administración número CIB/3249 created by Concesionaria. The issuance amount is part of a program approved by the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) for an amount of up to Ps.3.0 billion Mexican pesos (US$148 million, based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024). With this second issuance, the total amount approved for the program had been reached. The Trust Notes comply with the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles 2020, administered by the International Capital Market Association (ICMA). The Sustainability Objectives (SPT) for the KPI are to reduce carbon dioxide emissions measured as grams of CO2 emissions per revenue passenger/kilometer (gCO2 / RPK) by 21.54%, 24.08% and 25.53% by 2022, 2023 and 2024, respectively, compared to 2015. This offering will help the Company accomplish its long-term sustainable goals, among which is to reduce CO2 emissions by 35.42% in 2030. A feature of the asset-backed trust notes is that they will pay an additional 25 basis points to the interest rate if the sustainability goals are not met. On September 20, 2023, the interest rate increased by 25 basis points, with the possibility of mitigating the additional rate if the targets are met for the next years. The notes have a five-year maturity annual reductions of Ps.83,333, Ps.500,000, Ps.500,000 and Ps.416,667 (US$4.1 million, US$24.7 million, US$24.7 million and US$20.6 million, based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024) in 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, respectively, with a floating one-month coupon rate referenced to TIIE 28 plus 200 basis points, and adjustment of 25 basis points starting on September 20, 2023. The notes started amortizing at the end of the second year. On September 28, 2023, the Mexican National Banking and Securities Commission (Comisión Nacional Bancaria y de Valores) approved an increase amount of the actual program of up to Ps.5.0 billion Mexican pesos (US$246.7 million, based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024). With this authorization, the Company, through its subsidiary Concesionaria, issued in the Mexico market a third issuance of 15,000,000 asset-backed trust notes (“CEBUR”) under the ticket VOLARCB23 for Ps.1.5 billion (US$74 million, based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024) through the Fideicomiso Irrevocable de Administración número CIB/3249 created by Concesionaria. The notes have a five-year maturity annual reduction of Ps.187,500, Ps.750,000 and Ps.562,500 (US$9.3 million, US$37 million and US$27.8 million, based on an exchange rate of Ps.20.27 to US$1 on December 31, 2024) in 2026, 2027 and 2028, respectively, with a floating one-month coupon rate referenced to TIIE 28 plus 215 basis points spread. The notes start amortizing at the end of the third year. The asset-backed trust notes structure operates on specific rules and provides a DSCR “Debt Service Coverage Ratio,” which is computed by comparing the Mexican Peso collections over the previous six months to the next six months of debt service. In general, retention of funds does not exist if the ratio exceeds 2.5 times. Amortization on the asset-backed trust notes began in July of 2021 for the first issuance, for the second issuance began in November of 2023 and for the third issuance will begin in October 2026. In addition, early amortization applies if:
i) | The Debt Coverage Ratio is less than 1.75x on any of the determination dates;
ii) | An event of retention is not covered in a period of 90 consecutive days;
iii) | The debt service reserve account of any series maintains on deposit an amount less than the required balance of the debt service reserve account for a period that includes two or more consecutive payment methods;
iv) | Insolvency event of Concesionaria;
v) | The update of a new insolvency event in relation to the Concesionaria; and
vi) | Updating a new event of default.
In the event of default, the Trustee will refrain from delivering any amount that it would otherwise be required to deliver to Concesionaria and will dedicate such cash flow to amortize the principal of the trust notes (“CEBUR”). As of December 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with the conditions of the asset-backed trusted notes. In December 2021, the Company renewed its working capital facility with Banco Sabadell S.A., Institución de Banca Multiple (“Sabadell”) in Mexican pesos. The facility matured in December 2023. The “Sabadell” working capital facility had the following covenant: i) Joint obligor (Concesionaria) must represent 85% of EBITDA of the holding. The Company settled this short-term loan on January 5, 2023, as such any potential effects of the non-compliance were solved with the payment. The non-compliance did not trigger any cross-default provisions in other debt instruments or any lease agreement of the Company. The facility expired in December 2023. In December 2022, the Company signed a working capital facility with Banco Actinver S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple (“Actinver”) in Mexican pesos, bearing annual interest rate at TIIE 28 days plus 250 basis points margins. The facility matured in December 2024. The “Actinver” working capital facility did not include obligations or restrictions.
