Air Canada Is Employing The Airline Restructuring Playbook,
With Leverage To Higher Interest Rates From Its Pension
Recommendation: Buy the common stock of Air Canada (ticker TSX:AC.B). It has a favorable
reward-to-risk tradeoff of almost 5 times. We believe that the stock has the potential to move up
roughly 150% from the current price. Key events driving the stock higher include the Company’s
recent labor accords, its new fleet plan (with concomitant cost savings), its exposure to higher
interest rates via its pension underfunding, and the potential for further cost savings.
The Bull Case Revolves Around Leverage
• The Company exited CCAA protection in September 2004
• It has resolved most of the key issues that have held the stock
back, principally labor-related problems.
• It renegotiated labor agreements with all of its unions over the
course of the summer, enabling them to set up a low-cost carrier-
within-a-carrier called Air Canada rouge focused on high volume
leisure routes
• It has made tremendous inroads on controlling non-labor
costs, but it still has runway for further cost reductions as new,
lower maintenance aircraft come online and older aircraft come
to the end of their leases
• Financial leverage is also well beneath the key 3.0x Adjusted
Net Debt/EBITDAR threshold
• The Company’s pension underfunding is something less than
$1.66B (the most recently disclosed level) with every 1%
increase in the discount rate reducing the deficit by $2B

Significant And Growing International Business
The Company is a full service airline providing passenger and cargo service to a diverse network spanning
Canada, the United States and a growing number of international destinations. It also has a number of smaller
ancillary businesses including charters for sports teams and business groups, leisure travel packages. It recently
launched a lower cost operation, called Air Canada rouge, that will focus on high volume, leisure markets with a
seasonal orientation, flying to the southern US and the Caribbean in the winter and to Europe during the summer.

Air Canada Negotiated New Labor Contracts With Each Of Its
Unions This Summer Obtaining Work Rule Flexibility
Easier, more flexible work rules mean lower costs. At Air Canada rouge, greater seat density and labor flexibility
(including provisions like changing the number of passengers per flight attendant from 40 to 50, will lead to
significantly lower CASM on the more competitively priced high volume leisure runs.

The Combination of New Aircraft And Better Labor
Agreements Means Reduced Fixed Costs, Improved CASM
Airline business models are characterized by high fixed costs for labor, sales, technology and
infrastructure. The logical way to look at the operating model is on a per available-seat-mile basis. In
addition to trying to extract as much revenue per ASM by flying more lucrative traffic (with higher capacity
utilization), the key to profits is reduction of CASM, assuming that manageable fuel increases can be
passed through to passengers as (permanent) surcharges.

There Is Plenty Of Expensive Secured Debt That The
Company May Be Able To Refinance With More EETCs
Reference: Company, Capital IQ.
In July 2013, the Company issued its
first Enhanced Equipment Trust
Certificate (“EETC”) financing. EETCs
are a tool widely employed by US
airlines, exploiting Section 1110 of the
US Bankruptcy Code. Section 1110
carves out certain types of equipment
financing permitting aircraft creditors to
repossess the aircraft within 60 days of
filing, unless the airline cures the
default. Consequently, EETC financing
is much cheaper than financing not able
to escape the stay.
Under the provisions of the Capetown
convention, Canadian laws were
changed recently to permit Section
1110-like protections from the stay. Air
Canada’s EETC was the first EETC
issued in Canadian history raising
$715m in proceeds with a blended
coupon rate of 4.7%, collateralized by
the new B777-300ER deliveries.

With Tremendous Sensitivity To Rates And Given The
Performance Of Equities, Pension Solvency Is Near
The Company eliminated 90% of its defined
benefit pension plan accruals for new hires
as part of the recent labor accord.
This suggests that they may be able to
outsource the pension, once they have
obtained solvency, removing it as a potential
future liability and freeing up $150-200m in
cash flow annually, with meaningful accretion
to the $2B current market capitalization.

What Does The Red Team Analysis Suggest How This Could
Go Wrong?
Fuel prices spike faster and harder than Air Canada
can pass through pricing, given the lead on air travel
bookings and the sensitivity of the elasticity of demand
to an overall commodity shock.
Geopolitical disruptions lead to a significant reduction
in international and, potentially, domestic travel.
A global disease outbreak, like the SARS virus,
causes people to defer international travel plans
significantly.
Competition in Canada from Air Canada’s main
competitor accelerates, causing domestic pricing to
fall quickly and significantly.

What Is The Market Missing?
The price of fuel could come under further pressure,
particularly in North America, as a result of shale
fracking, the oil sands and excess inventories.
The market may be underestimating the potential from
recent waves of immigration into Canada from Asia.
As these immigrant communities begin to accumulate
wealth, there is tremendous potential for Canada-Asia
traffic growth.
Just because Air Canada has not implemented a plan
to date to increase ancillary revenue substantially
does not mean that such a plan would be unfeasible.
They may surprise the market with their ability to ramp
up such fees.
Air Canada is currently implementing the same
revenue management system used by its STAR
Alliance partners Lufthansa and United. This may
lead to meaningful RPM accretion not contemplated
by current consensus estimates.

Air Canada Has Tremendous Upside Despite Fantastic
Recent Performance
We like turnarounds because, when combined with growth, they can be a good source of
investments characterized by a combination of operating leverage and financial leverage. Air
Canada fits that bill.
