MANAGEMENTS COMMENTS ON 1Q07 RESULTS |
In the first quarter of 2007, GOL relied on its virtuous cycle to continue to popularize air travel in South America. During the quarter, GOL expanded its transportation capacity, launched international flights to the Peruvian market and substantially reduced its costs. GOL celebrated its sixth anniversary of operations in the best shape of its life, poised to embark on a new phase of accelerated growth. GOLs acquisition of VRG provides unique opportunities to implement its proven low-cost strategies in a company with important route rights and a well-established brand. Since we began operations in 2001, we have demonstrated market leadership and become a world reference in our industry. We will bring our revolutionary spirit to the long-haul market, changing the way intercontinental passengers fly, the same way we have been changing how Brazilians and South Americans fly over the last six years, commented Constantino de Oliveira Junior, GOLs President and CEO.
Results in the first quarter of 2007 were impacted given the continued challenges caused by the external difficulties that affected the airline sector in Brazil. A high level of well-publicized flight cancellations, contributed to suppressed demand, producing lower than expected yields and load factors. Even in this challenging environment, in 1Q07 GOL reached record aircraft utilization rates while further reducing costs and maintaining market cost leadership. Passengers transported in 1Q07 increased 45.6% over 1Q06. GOLs load factor decreased 0.8 percentage points to 69.8% . Aircraft utilization was at 15.0 block hours per day (increasing 4.2% over 1Q06). Operating costs per ASK, excluding fuel, decreased approximately 10.8% to 7.91 cents (R$). Fuel costs per available seat kilometer (ASK) decreased 12.1% year-over-year and helped to decrease total operating cost per seat kilometer (CASK) by 11.3% to 13.06 cents (R$). Cost reductions per ASK were driven by lower selling expenses, lower fuel expenses and lower aircraft rent expenses. Our demonstrated ability to grow while continuing to reduce costs is a key success factor as we aggressively implement best practices into VRGs operations, modernizing and standardizing the fleet, rejuvenating a 78-year old brand, and reducing operating and administrative costs, added Richard Lark, GOLs Executive Vice President and CFO.
In terms of future perspectives, besides maintaining high levels of productivity and profitability, short-term growth will be driven by the addition of new aircraft, new destinations and new frequencies. The addition of one Boeing 737 NG aircraft to the GTA fleet plus the addition of the VRG fleet in the second quarter of 2007 will increase 2Q07 ASKs by approximately 80%, as compared to GOLs capacity in the same quarter of 2006.
GOL remains committed to its strategy of profitable expansion based on a low-cost structure and high quality customer service. We are very proud that 60 million passengers have chosen to fly GOL, and we continue to make every effort to offer our customers the best in air travel: new, modern aircraft, frequent flights in major markets, an ever-expanding integrated route system and lower prices; all of which is made possible by our dedicated team of employees who are the key to our success," stated CEO Oliveira. By remaining focused on our low-cost business model, while continuing to grow, innovate and provide the lowest fares through GOL and through VRG, we will continue to create value for our customers, employees and shareholders.

REVENUES |
Net operating revenues, principally revenues from passenger transportation, increased 20.7% to R$1.0bn, primarily due to higher revenue passenger kilometers (RPK), offset by lower yields and load factors. In 1Q07, RPK growth was driven by a
38.6% increase in departures and 20.4% increase in stage length, offset by a 0.8 percentage point decrease in load factor to 69.8% . RPKs grew 59.6% to 4,894mm, and revenue passengers grew 45.6% to 5.3mm.
Average fares decreased 21.8% from R$233.37 to R$182.62 and yields decreased 26.4% to 19.93 cents (R$) per passenger kilometer, mainly due to a 20.4% increase in stage length.
Operating revenues per ASK (RASK) decreased 25.3%
to R$14.85 cents in 1Q07 (compared to R$19.88 cents in 1Q06).
The 61.5% year-over-year capacity expansion, represented by ASKs, facilitated the addition of 22 new daily flight frequencies (including six night flights) and one new
international destination in 1Q07. The addition of 22.8 average operating aircraft compared to 1Q06 (from 43.0 to 65.8 aircraft) drove the ASK increase.
The growth in RPKs resulted in a higher domestic market share for GOL, which averaged 38% during 1Q07, compared to 29% in 1Q06. Through its regular international flights to Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Rosario (Argentina), Santa Cruz de la Sierra
(Bolivia), Montevideo (Uruguay), Asuncion (Paraguay), Santiago (Chile) and Lima (Peru), GOL achieved a sharp increase in year-over-year international market share to 18% (share of Brazilian airlines flying to international destinations) in the same
period. Approximately 14.1% of GOLs total RPKs were related to international passenger traffic.
Complementing net operating revenues, cargo transportation activities primarily contributed to the expansion of other operating revenues,
increasing from R$33.2mm to R$65.9mm.
OPERATING EXPENSES |
Total CASK decreased 11.3% to 13.07 cents (R$), due to lower selling expenses, a reduction in fuel prices and lower aircraft rent expenses per ASK. Operating expenses per ASK excluding fuel decreased by 10.8% to 7.91 cents (R$). Total
operating expenses increased 43.3%, reaching R$916.2mm, due to higher fuel expenses, increased air traffic servicing expenses, higher maintenance expenses and the expansion of our operations (fleet and employee expansion and a higher volume of
landing fees). The R$107.0mm increase in fuel expenses was due to an increase in fuel consumption and partially offset by lower fuel prices per liter. Breakeven load factor increased 9.1 percentage points to 61.4% vs. 52.3% in 1Q06.
Results from
GOLs operating expense (jet fuel price and USD exchange rate) hedging programs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 133), Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging
Activities.
The breakdown of our costs and operational expenses for 1Q07, 1Q06 and 4Q06 is as follows:

Operating expenses ex- fuel | 554.9 | 384.9 | 44.2% | 568.4 | -2.4% |
Aircraft fuel expenses per ASK decreased 12.1% over 1Q06 to 5.15 cents (R$), mainly due to lower fuel price per liter and a proportionally more fuel efficient fleet (additional larger, winglet-equipped 737-800 SFP aircraft in the fleet). The decrease in average fuel price per liter over 1Q06 was primarily due to a decrease of 8.4% on international crude oil (WTI) prices and a 4.2% decrease in Gulf Coast jet fuel prices, in addition to the 4.1% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar (factors influencing the determination of Brazilian jet fuel prices). The Company has hedged approximately 60%, 25%, 25%, 10% and 10% of its fuel requirements for 2Q07, 3Q07, 4Q07, 1Q08 and 2Q08, respectively.
Salaries, wages and benefits expenses per available seat kilometer (ASK) remained flat at 1.88 cents (R$), as a 5% cost of living increase on salaries in December 2006 and a 60.2% increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees, to 9,595, related to planned 1Q07 and 2Q07 capacity expansion, was offset by productivity gains.
- 6 / 22 -
Aircraft rent per ASK decreased 11.1% to 1.36 cents (R$) in 1Q07, primarily due to a high aircraft utilization rate (15.0 block hours per day and 6.0% more ASKs per aircraft), a 4.1% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S Dollar vs. 1Q06, and amortized gains on sale-leaseback transactions on eight 737-800 aircraft during 1Q07 (amortized over the term of the leases).
Sales and marketing expenses per ASK decreased 52.4% to 1.09 cents (R$) due primarily to a reduction in sales commissions effected during the quarter, and a higher aircraft utilization rate (6.0% more ASKs per aircraft). During the quarter, GOL booked a majority of its ticket sales through a combination of its website (82.7%) and its call center (11.1%) .
Landing fees per ASK increased 11.4% to 0.78 cents (R$), due to a 21% increase in landing tariffs and an increase in landings at international airports (with higher tariffs), partially offset by a 20.4% increase in average stage length and a higher aircraft utilization rate (6.0% more ASKs per aircraft).
Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses per ASK increased 13.7% to 0.83 cents (R$), mainly due to higher ground handling services expenses (landings increased 38.6%) and increases in consulting and technology services, partially offset by an increased average stage length and a higher aircraft utilization rate (15.0 block hours per day and 6.0% more ASKs per aircraft).
Maintenance, materials and repairs per ASK increased 10.0% to 0.66 cents (R$), primarily due to a higher number of scheduled maintenance services during 1Q07, partially offset by a 4.1% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar. Main expenses during the quarter were related to the scheduled maintenance of seven engines in the amount of R$12.8mm; the use of spare parts inventory, in the amount of R$10.4mm and the repair of rotable materials in the amount of R$9.7mm.
Depreciation per ASK increased 41.4% to 0.41 cents (R$), due to a higher amount of fixed assets (mainly spare parts inventory) and an increase of R$3.3mm related to depreciation of four new 737-800 NG aircraft which entered the fleet in 4Q06 and 1Q07, and two 737-700 aircraft classified as capital leases.
Other operating expenses per ASK were 0.90 cents (R$), a 5.9% increase when compared to the same period of the previous year, due to an increase in travel expenses and lodging for flight crews due to cancelled flights and bad debt expenses. Insurance expenses, at 0.15 cents (R$) per ASK (R$10.4mm total) remained flat over 1Q06.

COMMENTS ON EBITDA AND EBITDAR1 |
The impact of a 5.03 cent (R$) RASK decrease partially offset by a CASK decrease of 1.67 cents (R$), resulted in a decrease of EBITDA per available seat kilometer to 2.20 cents (R$) in 1Q07. Compared to 4Q06, EBITDA per ASK decreased 2.2% . 1Q07 EBITDA totaled R$153.6 mm in the period compared to R$236.4mm in 1Q06 (a 35.0% decrease) and R$136.4mm in 4Q06 (a 12.8% increase).

Aircraft rent represents a significant operating expense for GOL. As GOL today leases most of its aircraft, we believe that EBITDAR, equivalent to EBITDA before aircraft rent expenses (which are USD-denominated) is a useful measure of relative operating performance for our investors and users of our financial statements. On a per available seat kilometer basis, EBITDAR was 3.56 cents (R$) in 1Q07,
______________________________
1EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent) are non-USGAAP measures and are presented as supplemental information
because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance for our investors. We usually present EBITDAR, in addition to EBITDA, because aircraft leasing represents a significant operating expense of our business, and we believe the
impact of this expense should be considered in addition to the impact of depreciation and amortization. However, neither figure should be considered in isolation, as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with US GAAP, BR GAAP or as a
measure of a companys profitability. In addition, our calculations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

compared to 6.97 cents (R$) in 1Q06. EBITDAR amounted to R$248.9mm in 1Q07, compared to R$302.8mm in the same period last year and R$221.5mm in 4Q06.
FINANCIAL RESULTS |
Net financial income increased R$9.8mm. Interest expense increased R$23.8mm primarily due to an increase in long-term debt and a higher amount of short-term working capital debt related to increased operations. Interest income increased R$54.6mm primarily due to a higher volume of cash and short-term investments, and was partially offset by a 4.3 percentage point reduction in average Brazilian interest rates (as measured by the CDI rate).

OUTLOOK |
GOL continues to invest in its successful low-cost, low-fare business model. We continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our operations by adding new flights in Brazil, as well as expanding into other high-traffic centers. We expect to benefit from economies of scale as we continue to add new aircraft to our already well-established and highly efficient operating network. We expect to reduce our non-fuel cost per available seat-kilometer (CASK) as we continue to reduce the age of our fleet, operate an even more fuel efficient fleet, benefit from the cost savings associated with our Aircraft Maintenance Facility, and improve upon our cost-efficient distribution channels. The acquisition of VRG presents opportunities to improve revenues through better customer segmentation and the addition of new income streams from domestic and international routes and ancillary revenues. Through the VARIG brand, VRG will provide an attractive service offering to business travelers in the domestic market and offer new services to high-traffic destinations in South America, Europe and North America.
The air passenger transportation market in Brazil remains largely under-penetrated, and increasing available seats at low fares is important for the continued development of the sector. Recent bottlenecks in the Brazilian air transport system are being resolved through investments at Brazils major airports and a recently-announced 20% increase in air traffic controllers this year. The scheduled addition of one aircraft to the GTA fleet in the second quarter of 2007 plus the VRG fleet, which will consist of 14 737-300s and two 767-300s at the end of 2Q07, will permit an 80% increase in available seat capacity over GOLs capacity in 2Q06. For the second quarter of 2007, we expect load factors in the range of 71%, with passenger yields in the range of R$20 cents. For the second quarter, we expect non-fuel CASK to be in the range of R$8.2 cents. We expect that the incorporation of larger, more fuel-
- 12 / 22 -
efficient aircraft and reductions in jet fuel prices will reduce our fuel costs per ASK by over 15% in 2Q07, in the y-o-y comparison. We expect a stable foreign exchange rate environment for the near term, supported by good economic fundamentals in the Brazilian economy.
In the full year 2007, we plan to increase revenues by over 60% while reducing unit costs by over 12%. We expect to stimulate air travel demand in the middle and lower income segments through our innovative payment mechanisms. We are confident that 2007 will be a record year as we continue to popularize passenger air transportation and expand our international operations.
Financial guidance for 2007 is based on planned capacity expansion and the expected high demand for our passenger transportation services, driven by strong Brazilian economic fundamentals and demand-stimulating low fares, and includes the acquisition of VRG. We plan to finish the year with 102 aircraft in the GTA and VRG fleets. Our planned ASK increase of approximately 80% will allow us to adequately serve expected passenger demand and add new routes and markets in Brazil, South America, Europe and North America. Average load factors for the year are expected to be in the 72% range; the reduction versus previous guidance primarily due to the incorporation of VRGs flights. Passenger yields are expected to decrease approximately 8% in the full year 2007, primarily due to an increased stage length, and RASK in the full year comparison is expected to decrease approximately 12%. Our projections are for a 2007 full-year EPS in the range of R$4.20 to R$4.70, reflecting the impact of lower loads and yields. Full-year non-fuel CASK is expected to be in the R$8.1 cent range, representing a 12% reduction over 2006. Fuel costs per ASK are expected to decrease over 12% in the year, due to larger more fuel-efficient aircraft and lower fuel prices. Full-year operating margins are expected to be in the 20% range. We plan to continue to popularize air travel through expansion, technological innovation, improved operating efficiency, strict cost management, the lowest fares and high quality passenger service.
