Aeroméxico Reports Unaudited Third Quarter 2026 Results
Fuel expense exceeded the level contemplated in third-quarter guidance by approximately $93.0 million.
Sentiment and the balance of points
Rhea-AI Sentiment reads the wording of the document, how positive or negative its language is on a 1 to 5 scale. The balance of points shown with the takes weighs what the document actually discloses, so the two can disagree, for example when a trial that missed its main goal is described in upbeat language.
Rhea-AI Summary
Aeroméxico (AERO) reported record third-quarter 2026 revenue of $1.6 billion, while higher fuel costs weighed on its unaudited earnings. Revenue rose 13.6% year over year, but operating income fell 25.0% to $190 million, with an 11.7% margin. Adjusted EBITDAR, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent with adjustments, fell 11.9% to $389 million. Net income declined 58.1% to $41 million.
Fuel expense rose 57.6% to $469 million. A loyalty-program accounting update added $48.7 million to revenue. Liquidity, including the revolving credit facility, totaled $1.2 billion, and adjusted net debt to EBITDAR was 2.1 times. Aeroméxico expects approximately 14.0%–16.0% fourth-quarter revenue growth and a 7.5%–9.5% operating margin. Its full-year outlook calls for approximately 13.5%–14.5% revenue growth and an 8.5%–9.5% operating margin.
How this balance works
Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.
It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.
Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

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, 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.
