Key Terms

adjusted ebitdar, available seat miles, non-ifrs measures
3 terms
adjusted ebitdar financial
"Adjusted EBITDAR(2) totaled $264.2 million, with a 17.9% margin."
Adjusted EBITDAR is a company’s reported profit measure that starts with operating earnings and then adds back interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent, plus any one‑time items companies exclude. It aims to show how much cash a business generates from its core operations before the costs of financing, non‑cash accounting charges and property leases, like comparing two stores’ underlying sales by ignoring rent and loan payments. Investors use it to compare operating performance across firms and assess ability to cover fixed obligations, but companies may calculate it differently, so comparisons require caution.
available seat miles technical
"Capacity, measured in available seat miles (ASMs), increased by 1.9% year-over-year."
Available seat miles measure the total capacity of an airline to carry passengers, calculated by multiplying the number of seats available on all flights by the distance those flights cover. It indicates how much space an airline has to generate revenue from passenger travel. For investors, higher available seat miles generally suggest a larger operation and potential for increased earnings.
non-ifrs measures financial
"Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted Net Debt to EBITDAR, and Adjusted EBITDAR Margin are non-IFRS measures"
Non-IFRS measures are financial figures that companies create on their own to show aspects of their performance, beyond what standard accounting rules require. They can help investors better understand how a company is really doing by highlighting information that might be more relevant or easier to interpret, much like a sports coach emphasizes certain stats to showcase team strengths not captured by official scores.

  • Liquidity(3) to LTM Revenue ratio at 22%

MEXICO CITY, July 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Aeroméxico S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: AERO & BMV: AERO, “Aeroméxico” or the “Company”) today reported unaudited consolidated financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2026 (“2Q26”). These results are based on information available to us as of the date of this earnings release and are not a comprehensive statement of our financial results for the period presented. The Company has used the U.S. dollar, its functional currency, as the presentation currency for its consolidated financial statements. All figures are expressed in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated.

Andrés Conesa, Chief Executive Officer stated: “Aeroméxico delivered solid second quarter results amid peak fuel price pressure and June demand shifts associated with the World Cup. Our results were in line with our second-quarter guidance, despite an approximately $30 million fuel headwind. We achieved two record sales weeks during the quarter, including the highest weekly sales in our history, while Premium Revenue Mix reached an all-time high, underscoring the strength of our business model and the power of our brand. Through disciplined capacity and network management, we remained focused on aligning supply with demand while protecting profitability. Even in a challenging macroeconomic environment, we ended the quarter with strong cash balances—consistent with the prior two quarters—without incurring additional financial debt. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, we expect a positive backdrop, driven by improving macroeconomic conditions and healthy demand, resulting in absolute EBITDAR levels above last year (1).”

OPERATING & FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 2Q26

  • Capacity, measured in available seat miles (ASMs), increased by 1.9% year-over-year.
  • Total revenue reached $1.5 billion; a 12.6% increase compared to the same period of 2025.
  • Total fuel expense amounted to $493.8 million, a 79.9% year-over-year increase.
  • Adjusted EBITDAR(2) totaled $264.2 million, with a 17.9% margin.
  • Operating income totaled $67.9 million, with a 4.6% margin.
  • Total adjusted net debt to EBITDAR(2) ended the quarter below 2.0x.
  • Liquidity(3) totaled $1.2 billion, equivalent to 21.8% of last-twelve-month revenues.

Operating income margin~ 14.0% to 17.0%~ 15.5% to 18.5% ~ 11.0% to 13.0%


The Company’s outlook for the second half of the year underscores the resilience of its business model. The Company anticipates sustained strength in revenue generation, supported by healthy demand trends and sustained fare levels. A more favorable fuel cost environment is also expected to drive higher absolute levels of EBITDAR and EBIT in the third quarter relative to 2025. Although margins are expected to moderate in the third quarter due to higher revenues, the Company expects margin expansion in the fourth quarter, underpinned by supportive market conditions and accelerated growth from operating leverage. Fourth quarter capacity growth will be supported by increased aircraft utilization across the existing fleet, enabling the Company to capitalize on strong demand while optimizing profitability.

The guidance reflects an average all-in fuel price of approximately USD $3.2 per gallon for the third quarter and USD $3.0 per gallon for the fourth quarter. It also assumes exchange rates of $17.5 Mexican pesos per U.S. dollar for the third quarter and $17.6 Mexican pesos per U.S. dollar for the fourth quarter.

SECOND QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

Income Statement Discussion

Revenue

Total revenue for the second quarter of 2026 reached $1.5 billion, a 12.6% year-over-year increase, setting a new second quarter record for the Company. Revenue growth was driven by resilient demand across the network, despite the temporary moderation observed in June related to World Cup shifts. Performance was further supported by continued progress in revenue initiatives and disciplined pricing actions implemented to mitigate higher fuel costs. The strengthening of the Mexican peso also contributed favorably to revenue performance during the quarter.
Our premium revenue(4) mix reached 43% of passenger-related revenue, 1 p.p. above 2Q25, reflecting sustained customer demand for premium products and ancillary services. Maintaining this revenue mix in a high-yield environment underscores the Company’s ability to capture premium customer demand and demonstrates the effectiveness of its business model.

Capacity increased 1.9% year over year, in line with the Company's guidance. Consistent with its demand expectations, the Company proactively adjusted capacity throughout the quarter to align with market conditions, prioritizing profitability while maintaining a disciplined approach to network deployment.

Total revenue per Available Seat Mile (“TRASM”) reached 16.0¢, marking a 10.5% year-over-year increase. The upward trend in TRASM was largely attributed to a significant increase in international passenger revenue, and the appreciation of the Mexican peso.

Operating Expenses

In 2Q26, total operating expenses—including fuel, labor, maintenance, passenger and aircraft services, aircraft leases, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and other expenses—reached $1.4 billion, an increase of 30.3% compared to 2Q25. The increase was primarily driven by elevated fuel costs resulting from global geopolitical events that began in late February, with market prices remaining elevated through the quarter. As a result, fuel expense increased by approximately $219.3 million year-over-year, exceeding our second-quarter guidance by approximately $30 million. Despite this additional fuel headwind, Aeromexico delivered a strong performance, with total revenue increasing by $165.6 million year-over-year. This enabled the Company to recapture approximately 75% of the incremental fuel cost.

Excluding fuel, operating expenses rose 13.4% year over year. The increase primarily reflected three factors: the continued strength of the Mexican peso, inflationary pressures on wages, salaries, and benefits, and higher depreciation and amortization related to fleet growth in 2025.

Fuel cost per gallon(5) increased by 79.6% compared to 2Q25, averaging 4.2 USD per gallon in 2Q26 compared to 2.3 USD per gallon in 2Q25. Fuel consumption remained stable year-over-year, while fuel burn per ASM (liters of fuel consumed per ASM) decreased by 1.7%, mainly due to a more efficient fleet mix.

Cost per ASM excluding fuel (CASM-Ex) was 10.0¢ in 2Q26, representing an increase of 12.3% compared to the same period in 2025. This rise was primarily driven by an 11.3% appreciation of the Mexican peso, increased ownership costs attributable to additions to the aircraft fleet in 2025, higher labor expenses associated with inflation-related salary adjustments, and the expansion of international operations.

Adjusted EBITDAR(2) and Operating Income

Adjusted EBITDAR(2) amounted to $264.2 million with a 17.9% margin, in line with the Company’s guidance despite elevated fuel costs and temporary demand shifts associated with the World Cup. Total fuel expense increased by $219.3 year over year, approximately $30.0 million above the level assumed in our second-quarter guidance as market fuel prices remained higher than expected throughout the quarter.

Operating income for the second quarter recorded $67.9 million, representing a 4.6% operating margin, also within the Company's guidance range.

Net Financing Cost

Net financing costs decreased by 6.5% compared to the same period in 2025, mainly driven by lower net foreign exchange losses. In 2Q26, foreign exchange losses decreased by $25.4 million, while financial expenses increased by $15.9 million, largely reflecting higher interest expenses from lease obligations associated with fleet expansion.

Net Income (Loss)

Net loss in 2Q26 totaled $57.7 million.

BALANCE SHEET AND CASH FLOW

As of June 30, 2026, Aeroméxico reported cash and cash equivalents of $1.0 billion. This is an increase of $114.3 million compared to the same quarter in the previous year and $12.5 million higher than at year-end 2025. These liquidity levels were achieved through strong operating cash generation, without incurring additional financial debt. Including the $200.0 million revolving credit facility secured in 3Q24, total liquidity reached $1.2 billion. This represents a ratio of liquidity to last-twelve-month revenues of 21.8%.

In 2Q26, Aeroméxico generated $362.4 million in net cash from operating activities, which allowed the Company to continue with its investment and deleveraging programs. During the second quarter, the Company repaid $17.1 million of financial debt.

OPERATING FLEET 

During 2Q26, Grupo Aeroméxico received two Boeing 737 MAX-8 and one Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Grupo Aeroméxico’s operating fleet was comprised of 169 aircraft as of June 30, 2026, with an average age of 8.9 years.

Annex A on Non-IFRS Financial Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with IFRS, the Company discloses information regarding Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDAR Margin, Adjusted Net Debt and Net Leverage Ratio, which are non-IFRS measures. The Company believes that these measures are useful indicators of its operational performance. These known performance measurements in the aviation industry are frequently used by investors, stock analysts and others who are interested in comparing the operational performance of companies in their industry.

The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAR as profit or loss for the period before income tax expense (benefit), depreciation and amortization, net finance cost, and impairment (reversal), before aircraft leasing expense, in light of the non-recurring nature of this item. The Company considers Adjusted EBITDAR to be solely a valuation metric, not a performance metric. The Company defines Adjusted EBITDAR Margin as Adjusted EBITDAR divided by total revenue for the period. The Company defines Adjusted Net Debt as total loan and borrowings, including leases, minus cash and cash equivalents. The Company defines Net Leverage Ratio as Adjusted Net Debt Ratio divided by Adjusted EBITDAR for the period.

All of the above-mentioned non-IFRS financial measures have limitations as analytical tools, and you should not consider them in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s results as reported under IFRS. Some of these limitations are: (i) they do not reflect the Company’s cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; (ii) they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, its working capital needs; (iii) they do not reflect the Company’s cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on the Company’s debt; (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and they do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; (v) they do not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income; (vi) they do not reflect the impact of all non-recurring items; and (vii) other companies in the Company’s industry may calculate these measures, or similarly titled measures, differently than the Company does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

Reconciliations of each of these historical measures, and to the extent applicable, forward-looking measures to the most directly comparable IFRS measure are below. No reconciliation of the forecasted amounts of Adjusted EBITDAR Margin, as incrementally adjusted, and revenue, as incrementally adjusted, for fiscal 2026 is included in this release because we are unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the corresponding IFRS measure without unreasonable efforts, due to high variability and complexity with respect to estimating certain forward-looking amounts, and we believe such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors.
