Comparisons refer to the same period of 2014.

GOL’s highlights

|           GOL’s domestic supply fell by 3% in December and 4% in 4Q15, remaining stable in 2015 – in line with the Company’s 2015 guidance of an annual reduction between -1% and stable.

|           In the international market, supply was reduced in December and in 4Q15 by 22% and 13%, respectively, and increased by 3% in 2015 – as a result of network adjustments during the year. Meanwhile, demand fell by 20% and 13% in December and in 4Q15, respectively, registering a load factor of 71.7% in the month and 70.8% in the quarter. In 2015, international demand increased 4%, registering a load factor of 71.6%, an increase of 0.6p.p.

|           In 4Q15, net PRASK increased by 2.3% and 7.2%, and yield grew by 6.8% and 11.7% compared to 4Q14 and 3Q15, respectively, reflecting the Company’s recent actions focused on the operating result recovery.

|           Jet fuel stood between R$2.25 and R$2.29 per liter in 4Q15, which represents a decrease of approximately 6% in relation to 2014. The per-liter fuel price in Reais in the quarter partially benefited from the fall in international prices of 44,6%, however it was adversely impacted by the average depreciation of 51,1% of the Real against the Dollar in the period, besides the 45-day delay in jet fuel price formation due to the criterion of fuel pricing in Brazil.
