Editor's Notes
- #4 Volaris is the lowest unit cost operator in the Americas with a CASM ex-fuel of less than 5.0 cents This chart is a great presentation card of our company! As you probably remember, Volaris was founded in 2006 Before it’s inception, Mexico´s air travel market had been through a 10 year process of: Fares increasing by 5% every year and Demand contracting at the same rate every year; at that time, the domestic market was only 22 million passengers per year This trend changed dramatically when Volaris started operations -- and in the last twelve months to June 2017, the market grew at a pace of 10.6%, to 44 million domestic passengers The Mexican economy as a whole is growing through a high to higher consuming middle class which is estimated to become a 52%, of our total population, by the end of 2022. We started operations in 2006 with a point to point model focused on Visiting- Friends and Relatives passengers and in the last 9 years Volaris’: Passenger demand expressed in RPMs expanded 20.6% Aircraft operated increased 16% every year Routes flown expanded by 18% every year to 67 destinations throughout Mexico, USA and now Central America and the Caribbean Passengers transported grew at a pace of 20% Operating Revenues by 23%, and Adj. EBITDAR grew 37.4% per year Clearly this is a story of the lowest cost operator in the Americas with an impressive history of growth – and that continuously over 9 years! Let me finish the Introduction of Volaris by saying that Adjusted ROIC in the last twelve months has been at the level of 18%
- #5 I remember when we founded the company: We wanted a model suitable to this middle class growing population We needed an accelerator for demand: Clean, low base fares We started building business model as a virtuous cycle: based on cost reduction as a starting point We then unbundled our fares and presented them as what we call “Get out of Town Fares” The combination of these two elements created elasticity in our markets and as a result volume growth which, Then we let the customer pick and choose: They decide from a choice of products they really need and that for us becomes ancillary, Non-Ticket Revenue Higher demand requires more capacity every day In a emerging air travel market that grows 4-5 times its GDP: Volaris expands at a pace of two times the market growth in the last 9 years, because of its simple and resilient ULCC business model And this in turn drives high and profitable growth Bottom Line: we produced what we called irresistible fares for a high growing middle class with high and increasing purchasing power
- #6 Volaris is a very disciplined organization We have consistently executed the ULCC business model and the results translated in a well positioned company for growth On the Accomplishments: We clearly depart from the fact that we have the lowest cost Strongly penetrated our markets. We grow at least 2 times faster than the market and above any of our competitors. Remember Volaris is an ULCC with a market share of already 24.4%. Spirit, to take an example from the US, has less than 2% of the domestic US market. Recently, we diversified our network more and more, intentionally creating increased route overlap with all of our domestic competitors that operate in the domestic market -- up to 80% of their networks—This has insulated us from pricing attacks on Volaris in our main markets. We have an active Bus switching program with education programs, trials that incentive first time flyers We successfully unbundled our prices We launched, executed and grew an ancillary revenue model which will always compensate our intentional base fare yield reductions All in all: we created a sustainable profitable company with a strong balance sheet that allows us the capacity to continue growing On the Opportunities we can say that we are just scratching the surface We operate in an attractive emerging market environment We have enough new route expansion potential where can continue with our geographic diversification Through international growth And in the domestic market linking the dots and increasing frequencies We clearly see upside for our ancillary revenue strategy We have enough aircraft on order to grow in the following years and our flexible capacity management has proven we can: in a short period of time, either expand or contract utilization And we see room for improvement in cost reductions, which insulates us In a nut shell: A company in a great position With high and growing capacity, Capacity to significantly improve its total revenue and our margin profile and With low to lower costs… That can not only insulate us, Produce further good return for our investors, Now let me pass it over to Holger Blankenstein, our Chief Commercial Officer
- #8 The most important metric for us, as an Ultra Low Cost Carrier is the unit operating cost Volaris has a best-in class unit cost structure, among the best in the world We have a Cost per available seat mile of 6.9c, and excluding fuel of 4.7c. Among our peer group in Latin America, US LCCs and US network carriers, we have the lowest cost We have achieved this low cost position by Achieving economies of scale through our high growth A young and and fuel efficient fleet A focus making our network more productive High aircraft utilization As we continue to grow, we see additional cost improvement potential to make us the world’s best airline - which we will elaborate on later in the presentation
- #9 One of the main elements of our commercial strategy has been the emphasis on non-ticket revenue growth. Non-ticket revenues continue to grow and there is a lot of upside potential: Non-ticket revenues per passenger have grown from continually during the last 9 years, reaching 24 USD in the quarter ended in June 2017. Actually, if we were able to charge for the first bag in our domestic market (which is not allowed by law in Mexico) we would be around Wizz’ levels. However, there is additional upside potential if we compare ourselves with the best-in-class airlines for ancillaries: Allegiant and Spirit In the next years we plan to further grow ancillaries by applying proven revenue management techiques to some of our main ancillary products Adding new products & services Improving the presence of products and services throughout the passengers’ journey with Volaris We will also benefit from network diversification as international customers are more prone to buying ancillary services These 4 initiatives will allw us to further reduce fares and stimulate demand
- #10 Our other focus has been enhancing our network – our network is now much more diversified and resiliant than some years ago: 1) We have connected many dots in our route map and thereby servicing routes with no competition 2) We have added capacity that compete with high cost competitors such as Aeromexico and the US legacy carriers Our network expansion has been heavily focused on the US market, with 7 new cities we service We also opened 4 new destinations in Mexico and 4 new countries: Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador and Nicaragua
- #11 This network enhancement has supported strong capacity growth – a growth available seat miles of 18.8% through deepening our footprint, joining the dots, adding new airports or destination and adding 2 new countries: Costa Rica and Guatemala This positions us extremely well for further diversified growth Let me now give you more details on these growth opportunities:
- #13 The Mexican air markets has the profile of a high growth, emerging market – in recent years, volume growth has been robust The compounded annual growth rate of the market was 9.5% over the last 5 years – this implies a GDP multiplier (air traffic growth to GDP growth) well above 2.0 a typical emerging market multiplier
- #14 In the last 5 years, supply of capacity in terms of “available seats miles” has grown 7% per year while demand has actually grown 10% annually with an average GDP mulitlier of 2.2 Clearly Mexico’s market profile is very different from mature markets like in the US or in Europe
- #17 Volaris contributed significantly to this market growth through stimulating demand from bus to air substitution. Volaris is not affiliated with any bus company, so we have more flexibility in attacking the bus market. In Mexico, there are 2.8 bus trips per year, out of which 77 M are in “executive and luxury” services – whereas there are only 67 M air trips per year. We have embarked on a formal and large effort of “bus switching” We are doing an education program of the bus customer about Volaris in mass and social media As part of our trial program, we are giving away Volaris tickets to bus customers in bus stations and in shopping malls We are developing new, non-traditional distribution channels for bus customer being able to buy our tickets, such as in convenience stores and super markets Thus, we are attracting many 1st time flyers – actually as many as 30% of our customers claim that they also considered taking the bus when surveyed onboard So: It is important to underline that Volaris not only operates in a high growth emerging market, but we also have the ability to grow faster than the market as a whole, due to this bus switching program We are convinced that there continues to be a sizeable opportunity to grow through switching passengers from bus to air
- #19 Porque somos diferentes, reconocemos que, para hacer crecer la aviación en MÉXICO, de la mano con todos nuestros socios de negocio, el Gobierno mexicano y sus autoridades, aeropuertos, proveedores, arrendadores, bancos, aseguradoras, y demás socios de la aviación, es necesario que VOLARIS inicie una relación adicional en forma de alianza con otra aerolínea en ESTADOS UNIDOS. Acabamos de formalizar el primer contrato de alianza en CÓDIGO COMPARTIDO BILATERAL entre dos AEROLÍNEAS de ultra bajo costo en la historia de la aviación. El contrato es entre VOLARIS y la aerolínea estadounidense – FRONTIER ‐. Este esfuerzo dará acceso a tarifas de bajo costo para millones de viajeros en MÉXICO, ESTADOS UNIDOS, Centroamérica y el Caribe. También permitirá vender boletos de avión y conectar itinerarios de ambas aerolíneas, combinando sus redes de rutas, y por primera vez en la historia la combinación de las tarifas más bajas de dos aerolíneas de ultra bajo costo, para hacer crecer el turismo, el tráfico de negocios, así como seguir conectando familias entre los países en más de 125 destinos combinados de las dos aerolíneas. Esta transacción está sujeta a aprobaciones de las autoridades de ambos países, pero tenemos el objetivo de obtenerlas a fines de la primavera de este año.
- #21 Going forward, the mix of our fleet is reducing the number of A319s so that we only keep those that we need for specific and ramp up markets. Most of our 320s are configured with sharklets, which provide a 2 to 3% fuel savings. In addition, since 2016 we are receiving the A320s NEOs with sharklets which promise combined fuel savings of over 17%. We also continue increasing the number of A321s as marked by our up gaging strategy and contributing to a better CASM.
- #22 We have observed high growth and a solid financial performance Beginning with the top line Revenue… Revenue CAGR Achieving an EBITDAR margin of 30% in the last twelve months ended June 2017. In line with best-in-class ULCCs
- #23 We also count with a strong balance sheet and good liquidity We have had strong positive cash flow generation in the past four quarters We are fully financed for our pre-delivery payments through 2018 and have been executing sale and leaseback in all our deliveries. On the balance sheet we have unrestricted cash for $6.0 billion pesos, of $309 million dollars Which results in a net cash position of $3.9 billion pesos or $219 million dollars And in terms of liquidity we have an adjusted long term debt to EBITDAR ratio of 5.2 times Let’s go back to Enrique who will make the closing remarks
