Integrated Report 2021Presentation

In this integrated report, LATAM 

Airlines Group S.A. presents the year’s 
information, progress, and challenges 
from January 1 to December 31, 
2021. The publication is based on 
the principles of integrated reporting 
from the International Integrated 
Reporting Council (IIRC) and the Global 
Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines to 
connect financial and non-financial 
information in the different economic, 
environmental, and social dimensions of 
LATAM's business and its relationships 
with stakeholders.

The group's financial statements are an 
integral part of the Report.

Currency and exchange conventions
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and most of 
its affiliates maintain their accounting 
records and prepare their financial 
statements in US dollars (USD); some 
use Chilean pesos, Colombian pesos, 
or Brazilian reals. The group's audited 
consolidated financial statements 
include the results of these affiliates 
translated into US dollars.

In accordance with the International 
Accounting Standards (IASB), assets 
and liabilities consider the exchange 
rate at the end of the period. The 
income and expense accounts take into 
account the exchange rate at the date 

of the transaction; however, a monthly 
exchange rate may be adopted if the 
rates do not vary widely.

Names

requires it, mentions of LATAM 
Airlines Group refer to LATAM Airlines

Integrated Report 2021MAZZONI COELHO,
Cabin crew, Brazil

Personally, it was a very dynamic year, 
in which I began to act as promoter of 
the Organizational Health Index (OHI), 
and it was also very challenging with 
the homogenization of the Boeing 787 
aircraft. I think it was a much better year 
than 2020, but still full of challenges 
because there are still health barriers 
preventing the normal return of the 
international network.

In 2021, we saw projects such as “One 
Device per Crewmember,” which allows 
us to simplify and greatly streamline our 
cabin activities and thus improve the level 
of passenger satisfaction. There was also 
a program of frequent meetings with the 
most diverse levels of internal leadership 
which, in my opinion, raised the level of 
transparency within the company, making 
communication more direct and effective.

EDUARDO PATTA,
Head of Sales in Asia, England

2021 was a year of many challenges. 
New COVID-19 variants and border 
closures have greatly impacted the 
business. But it was also a year when 
we resumed some of the operations, in 
which we were able to again operate 
important routes and recover the 
"closeness" with clients.

I am very proud to work in a group of 
companies that are concerned about 

such important and essential issues as 
diversity, inclusion, and the impact of 
their business on the environment. I 
believe that this fairer, more empathic, 
transparent, and sustainable culture 
that we are trying to implement daily 
and in dealing with clients has been very 
welcome. There is still a long way to go, 
but we are on the right track.

ANTONELA PIPERNO,
People Analyst, Argentina

I was on maternity leave and I went 
back to work in midyear, which was 
a time of great mobilization and 
uncertainty. I feel that I left in 2020 
from a very oscillating LATAM, at the 
height of change and restructuring, and 
that I returned in 2021 to a completely 
changed LATAM: more dynamic, more 
flexible, and in the process of being 
overhauled and organized from scratch.

From my position, I feel that there 
were many changes throughout 2021 
and that, as a team, we faced many 
new challenges and situations that 
led us to shift and change the way we 
work. Today, I can say that we grew a 
lot as a team, we changed and changed 
for the better. We got stronger and 
became more united.

MARÍA CAMILA DUQUE,
Co-pilot A320, Colombia

2021 was for us a year of great growth; 
we had not seen so much movement in 
many years. New routes were opened, 
frequencies increased, and it is exciting 
for us to see more LATAM aircraft flying 
in Colombia. There was also much 
motivation due to the promotion of first 
officers to captain and the incorporation 
of new first officers into the group.

It is very important for us as command crew 
to be part of a team committed to tolerance 
for diversity and inclusion not only of its 
employees, but also of passengers. We see the 
effort on the part of the administration to turn 
this practice into a culture, and we see how we 
have moved toward to become a group that 
is more connected with the needs of society 
regarding the care of the environment.

VERÓNICA ORTIZ,
Passenger Service  
Supervisor, Ecuador

2021 was a year full of changes. The 
operation began to grow despite being 
within a pandemic context, which made it 
a more challenging year. In this desire to 
fly again, we have seen very important 
progress, all thanks to the fact that 
the company has worked to improve 
operational processes, both for the 
internal and external client, which have 
been developed in a more agile way.

We are in a LATAM that is nowadays 
committed to pillars that are very 
important to me, such as sustainability, 
diversity, inclusion, and care for the 
environment, and I am very pleased to 
work in a company that declares them 
important in its daily work. That fills me 
with pride.

LUIS CASTRO,
Account Executive of LATAM 
Cargo, United States

2021 was a difficult year in which 
we began implementing CROAMIS, 
the end-to-end world-class system 
of LATAM Cargo. This is the most 
important technological transformation 
in the history of LATAM Cargo and 
having brought this project forward 
in the midst of the pandemic, and 
remotely, is not easy at all, but having 
been able to participate in it brings me 
enormous satisfaction.

It was also a year in which we made 
great progress regarding the company 
that we want to be, and it is not easy 
to do this during a pandemic. It is 
becoming increasingly apparent that 
we are coming to where we want to be 
as LATAM and as individuals, and how 
we want to relate to our customers. I 
think we are on the right track.

ASTRICK ELERA,
Aeronautical Technician, Peru

As an aeronautical technician in the 
Maintenance Area, I can say that 2021 
was a year of resurgence where, to achieve 
our goals again, we had to rethink changes 
in both the workplace and at home, and 
thus return to being among the best 
airlines in the world. The Maintenance 
Area was enthusiastic about the project 
to be a fair, empathic, transparent, and 
sustainable group, and this is something 
we value very much, because it means 

that the company we are part of is one that 
thinks not only about itself, but also about the 
environment around us.
With regard to the commitment to diversity 
and inclusion, which LATAM announced in 
2021, we are very pleased to know that 
LATAM declares itself to be an open-minded 
company and is always open to change and no 
discrimination will be found or accepted in it.

CÉSAR FABIÁN LUGO
Cabin crew leader, Paraguay

2021 was for all of us like learning to 
walk, or rather fly, again. At LATAM, we 
have started a new way of flying that we 
can see on a daily basis, being more just 
with the internal and external clients, 
being empathic with my colleague beside 
me, being transparent in the decisions we 
make, and simplifying the processes and 
procedures we roll out.
This new way of flying LATAM also 
includes a focus on taking more care of 

our environment and we can see that in 
our commitment to sustainability. But 
that is where each of us can contribute 
something because this commitment is 
based on great actions, such as reducing 
the carbon dioxide emissions from aircraft, 
and even small details from each of us, 
such as recycling a bottle cap. All efforts 
add up. At the end of the day, we are all 
LATAM.

HUGO ORTIZ BARRERA
Sales Executive Contact Center, Chile

2021 was a very complex year for all of us, 
bar none. Uncertainty was present every 
day and so were moments of opportunity, 
change, and new challenges where selling 
became more difficult every day: not 
only did we have to go out and look for 
that opportunity, but there was also a 
double effort to charm and re-charm our 
passengers and to make them regain the 
confidence in us to fly safe and in peace.

Opportunities are born from adversity, 
and LATAM was able to take advantage 
of them by implementing, at the right 
time, new platforms of simpler and 
more efficient systems that are with us 
to become better for the future, for our 
passengers and, why not, for ourselves.

Integrated Report 2021Letter from  
the CEO

102-14

W e have reached the end of 

2021, living through our 
second year of the pandemic. 

The uncertainty that started in March 
2020 has spread far more than we all 
expected. The recovery in demand for 
air travel has been slow and erratic. The 
arrival of the delta variant first, and 
omicron toward the end of the year, 
together with the constant changes 
to flight restrictions and entry into 
countries, forced us to remain extremely 
agile and attentive and to take 
measures to adjust.

The aggregate impact of the pandemic 
on operations and clients has been 
dramatic. In these 21 months, we have 
tried to handle each of the individual 
situations with attention and care. All of 
this, moreover, is happening in parallel 
with the continuation of the financial 
reorganization process under Chapter 
11, initiated in May 2020.

Nevertheless, the group managed to 
make progress on a gradual recovery of 
its operations thanks to its versatility 
and adaptability and interest in 
restoring its network and profitability 
in the shortest time possible. LATAM 
increased its operations (measured 
in ASK – available seat-kilometer), 
compared to the corresponding month 
of 2019) from 38.9% in January 2021 

LATAM group CEO with captain Erich Oppliger, from the A320 fleet.

to 70.1% in December of that year. This 
recovery was sharper in the domestic 
markets of its subsidiaries, especially 
Brazil and Colombia, as well as 
cargo subsidiaries.

For the first time since the pandemic 
began, we had good financial news. The 
fourth quarter’s operating results were 
positive and came within the framework 
of major restructuring initiatives in 
fleet, employees, digitization, and 
process simplification, which totaled 
over US$900 million in cost savings. 
Despite the above, the group’s financial 
results are still very affected compared 
to 2019. Total revenues reached 
US$5.11 billion, a decrease of 51.0% 
from pre-pandemic levels.

In this difficult scenario, the LATAM 
group continued to develop and 
implement projects to enhance 
customer experience. In 2021, we 
continued with the digital transformation 
and looked for new opportunities that 
bring agility, facilitate access, and 
provide more satisfaction to those who 
prefer our services. In addition to the 
above, we continued to transform our 
passengers’ flight experience through 
cabin retrofits, reaching a total of 
115 aircraft with renewed interiors. 
Furthermore, the subsidiary in Brazil 
continued to equip its aircraft with Wi-Fi 

connectivity, totaling 50 aircraft with 
this service by the end of the year.

Beyond our progress, we are aware 
that the experience we deliver to our 
passengers is not always what we want, 
sometimes as a result of the difficulties 
created by the pandemic, and others, 
simply because of us. We know there 
is a gap, and we are working to fill that 
space with effective solutions.

As for our fleet modernization plan, 
we have concluded an agreement with 
Airbus for the purchase of 28 new 
aircraft in addition to the 42 narrow-
body aircraft already agreed for the 
next few years. In total, 70 aircraft 
of the A320neo family with lower 
CO2 emissions, a 50% reduction in 
nitrogen oxide emissions, and a 50% 
reduction in the acoustic footprint. 
On the other hand, the LATAM group 
announced the expansion of the cargo 
fleet with 10 Boeing 767-300 Boeing 
Converted Freighters to total 21 
freighters by 2023.

With a long-term view, we lay the 
foundations for the future of the 
business through the launch of our new 
Sustainability Strategy with a focus 
on climate change, circular economy, 
and shared value. We set challenging 
but well-defined goals for ourselves:

Integrated Report 2021we hope to end one of the most painful 
chapters in our history, emerging much 
better than we started and where, 
together, we will continue to learn so 
that we can become a better LATAM.

Roberto Alvo Milosawlewitsch
CEO LATAM Airlines Group

eliminating single-use plastics in 
all operations (2023); zero waste to 
landfill (2027); achieving carbon-neutral 
growth with 2019 as the baseline, and 
offsetting 50% of domestic emissions 
(2030), all as part of the path to carbon 
neutrality by 2050.

We are committed to reducing 
emissions and managing our carbon 
footprint through programs such as 
LATAM Fuel Efficiency which, over 10 
years, has enabled us to have a 5.3% 
fuel efficiency increase. As a result of 
this program, in 2021, we reduced fuel 
consumption by 8.3 million gallons, 
thereby avoiding the emission of 79,533 
tons of greenhouse gases. 

In addition, we are focused on 
contributing to the preservation of the 
biodiversity of South America, and 
thus, in 2021, we initiated an alliance 
with Fundación Cataruben and Project 
CO2Bio for the conservation and 
restoration of a strategic ecosystem 
of the region: 200 thousand hectares 
of floodable savanna in Colombia’s 
Orinoco region. 

As a result of the partnership with 
CO2Bio and the support for projects in 
other iconic ecosystems in the region, 
in 2021, LATAM offset 335,183 tons 
of CO2, while in 2022, the group is 

planning to reach 723 thousand tons. 
At the same time, under a collaborative 
approach, we are promoting the “Fly 
Neutral” program, which offers our 
corporate and cargo clients the option 
of offsetting CO2 emissions associated 
with their travel and supporting the 
conservation of iconic South American 
ecosystems. As part of the value 
proposition and core of the program, 
we match the amount of tons our 
clients offset to double the impact.

Last year, and following the S&P 
Corporate Sustainability Assessment, 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. was 
recognized as the most sustainable 
airline in the region and the fourth in 
the world, as well as being included 
in the Sustainability Yearbook 2022 
in the Bronze category, maintaining 
its position as one of the best-
performing companies in sustainability 
in the industry.

Yet, not only do we want to be a player 
that promotes the environmental and 
economic development of the region, 
but we also want to be increasingly 
connected with the needs of the 
communities where we operate. For 
that reason, we have continued with 
our Avion Solidario program which, 
particularly in the face of the pandemic, 
has provided free support to health, 

environmental, and natural disaster 
needs within the region.

The LATAM group has joined in the 
effort that society as a whole has made 
to deal with the pandemic. Thus, at 
the end of 2021 and for free, almost 
208 million vaccines were distributed 
in Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru, 
in addition to health professionals 
mobilized, among others, allowing us to 
support the region from what we know 
how to do: connect and transport.

In 2021, we made very significant 
progress in our Chapter 11 process. 
As announced on September 9 
in the Five-Year Business Plan, 
LATAM expects to achieve a 
complete recovery in domestic and 
international demand in 2022 and 
2024, respectively. In addition, 2024 
financial results are expected to be 
in line with pre-pandemic figures, 
accompanied by an ex-fuel, ex-
inflation estimated CASK (cost per 
ASK) of US¢3.9 cents, an improvement 
of US¢0.6 cents compared to 2019. 
This would lead LATAM to be one of 
the most competitive “full service” 
airline groups.

On November 26, 2021, with broad 
support from the main stakeholders, we 
presented our Reorganization Plan.

During the second half of 2022, we 
finally hope to exit Chapter 11 of the 
U.S. Bankruptcy Law, thus closing an 
important stage of transformation, 
which has enabled the raising of a 
renewed organization, with a solid 
balance sheet, a more competitive cost 
structure, and a good level of liquidity. 

Last year was tough for LATAM and the 
results achieved are the best we could 
get in the face of the adverse context. 
In that task, the workers of the group’s 
companies were key because, in spite 
of all the difficulties, they put their 
effort and willingness into pulling the 
operations through. I would like to take 
this opportunity to thank you, because 
despite the frustration and permanent 
uncertainty that you have experienced 
during these years, you have always 
chosen LATAM, you have stood firm, and 
you have accompanied us.

It is precisely that attitude, 
together with all the initiatives and 
achievements and the challenges we 
have set for ourselves, that motivates 
me to look with optimism on the future 
of the group. We face contingency by 
empowering the future. Today, the 
LATAM group comprises more than 29 
thousand people of 44 nationalities, 
who have resisted a pandemic and who 
have learned a lot of lessons. This year,

and cargo transportation in the 
domestic markets of Brazil, Colombia, 
Chile, Ecuador, and Peru, and in the 
international market. The group has a wide 
network of destinations (137 considering 
passenger and cargo operations), flight 
frequencies and connection possibilities, 
enhanced in South America through the 
hubs (connection centers) of São Paulo/
Guarulhos (Brazil), Lima (Peru), and 
Santiago (Chile), facilitating access to the 
most diverse destinations.  
102- 1, 102-2, 102-4 

In 2020, the group faced the greatest 
challenge in its 91-year history with the 
coronavirus pandemic. As a result of the 
unprecedented impact on passenger and 
cargo operations, LATAM Airlines Group 
S.A. and its subsidiaries in Chile, Colombia, 
Ecuador, Peru, and the United States filed 
for voluntary protection under the financial 
reorganization statute of the US Chapter 
11 on May 26, 2020, and the subsidiary 
in Brazil joined the process on July 9 of 
the same year. The reorganization gives 
LATAM the opportunity to work with its 
creditors and other stakeholders to reduce 
its debt, access new sources of financing 
and continue to operate, and it gives it 
the opportunity to adapt its business to 
the new reality. The reorganization thus 
seeks to ensure financial sustainability 
and continue to generate shared value 
for its stakeholders.

Despite the adverse global scenario, 
throughout 2021, LATAM remained 
committed to providing connectivity 
and being an asset to the region, while 
restructuring its finances. The group 
managed to resume operations in 
several destinations, reached 70.1% of 
its capacity (measured in ASK, available 
seat-kilometer) in December compared 
to 2019, and continued to support the 
fight against the virus with the Avion 
Solidario (Solidary Plane) program.

LATAM
maintains 
a strong 
commitment 
to safety, 
sustainability, 
and support to 
the communities 
where it operates, 
always striving 
to provide the 
best experience 
to its passengers 
through its 
operating 
excellence. 

Indirect economic impacts
The connectivity that drives tourism 
and business is a major impact of 
aviation. Despite reduced travel during 
the pandemic, international passengers 
transported by LATAM to South America 
contributed nearly US$608 million to 
the economies of the region. The figure 
considers the number of passengers 
transported (633.1 thousand) and the 
average expenses per traveler reported 
by tourism and statistics agencies 
in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, 
Ecuador, and Peru. 203-2

Integrated Report 2021Outlook on 
sustainability

LATAM promotes sustainable 

development in South America 
and works to preserve the culture 

and biodiversity of the destinations 
it reaches, which are known for their 
natural wealth. To this end, it assumes 
challenging commitments to the 
social, environmental and economic 
growth challenges facing society, which 
include the holistic management of 
its carbon footprint, migration to a 
circular economy model, and tangible 
contribution to communities.

From its sustainability strategy and 
in order to achieve collective and real 
solutions, LATAM engages its internal 
and external stakeholders under a 
collaborative system and implements 
programs to achieve the fulfillment of 
its commitments and goals. The Board, 
the group's highest governing body, 
monitors progress on the achievement 
of the goals and the degree of 
fulfillment of the commitments.

To measure its performance, 
LATAM applies the S&P Corporate 
Sustainability Assessment and the Dow 
Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI), which 
selects publicly traded companies with 
the best performance in economic, 
financial, social, environmental, 
governance and compliance, and 
customer relations issues.

In 2021, following the S&P Corporate 
Sustainability Assessment, LATAM was 
recognized as the most sustainable 
airline in the region and the fourth in 
the world, as well as being included 
in the Sustainability Yearbook 2022 in 
the Bronze category, maintaining its 
position as one of the best-performing 
companies in sustainability in the 
industry. The group was also part of 
the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for 
six consecutive years, being ranked 
as one of the most sustainable in the 
world. Today, LATAM is not within this 
selection because it is undergoing a 
process of financial reorganization, 
but it continues to use the results as 
a benchmark and guide to implement 
improvements in its processes.

Integrated Report 2021Timeline 

The history of LATAM begins in 1929 

with LAN (Chile's national airline), 
which in 1946, made its first 
international flight on Santiago-Buenos 
Aires to later extend its coverage, first 
to Lima, Peru; then to Miami, United 
States; and later on, to Europe. In 
1983, and through CORFO, Linea Aérea 
Nacional Chile Limitada was established, 
and the following year, it went on to 
become a limited company known 
as LAN Chile. Years later, in 1997, the 
company listed its shares on the New 
York Stock Exchange and was the first 
Latin American airline group to trade its 
ADRs (American Depositary Receipt) in 
this stock market.

In 2012, LAN Airlines S.A. changes its 
name to LATAM Airlines Group S.A. after 
the association of LAN and Brazil's TAM, 
created in 1975 as Transportes Aéreos 
Regionais. The group consolidates the 
leadership initiated by LAN, TAM, and 
their corresponding subsidiaries, with a 
better service throughout its network 
and strengthening its regional position.

These and other more recent 
milestones in the group's trajectory are 
presented below.

  operations

In 2021, the group was able to 

gradually resume operations after 
a 2020 strongly impacted by the 
pandemic, operating, on average 
during the year, 45.4% of the 
passenger capacity (measured in ASK - 
available seat-kilometer) compared to 
the pre-COVID level and a load factor of 
74.4%. The international operation was 
25.2% of that recorded in 2019, and the 
domestic operation was 69.6%. During 
much of 2021, subsidiaries in Colombia 
and Ecuador achieved domestic 
performance equal to or greater than 
that achieved before the pandemic.

Throughout the year, LATAM also made 
progress in opening new routes in the 
context of a dynamic and changing 
environment, opening a total of 79 
routes during the year. The revenues 
from the passenger operation 
represented 65.4% of the group's total.

LATAM operates 30 international 
destinations in 18 countries, in 
addition to domestic destinations and 
international flights and connections 
between domestic destinations.

In the international passenger market, 
the supply, measured in ASK, which 
equals the number of seats available 
multiplied by the distance flown, 
decreased by 14.3% compared to 2020, 
and passenger demand, measured in 
RPKs, which equals the total number of 
passengers transported by the distance 
flown, declined by 23.4% compared to 
2020. A total of 2.9 million passengers 
flew with LATAM to international 
destinations during 2021 and the load 
factor was 66.0%, 7.8 percentage points 
below 2020.

Domestic operations correspond to the 
domestic flights made by the LATAM 
Airlines Brazil, LATAM Airlines Chile, LATAM 
Airlines Colombia, LATAM Airlines Ecuador, 

and LATAM Airlines Peru subsidiaries, 
which averaged 790 flights per day, 
connecting a total of 107 destinations.

In addition, during 2021, LATAM 
inaugurated 17 new domestic 
destinations and transported 37.3 
million people on its domestic flights, 
an increase of 53.8% compared to 
the previous year. Passenger demand, 
measured in RPK, increased 60.1% in 
Spanish-speaking countries (SSC), while 
supply, measured in ASK, increased 
62.6%, while the load factor was 74.9%, 
1.2 percentage points lower than in 2020. 
In the Brazilian domestic market, demand 
increased by 40.8%, and supply by 40.8%. 
The load factor remained constant 
compared to 2020 and was 80.0%.

In Colombia, operations toward yearend

ended 2021 with a capacity of 92.9% 
(measured in ASK) compared to 2019, 
with an average of 578 daily flights and 
49 destinations, a record figure that had 
not been recorded since the association 
of LAN and TAM in 2012. The subsidiary 
opened 33 new routes and opened 
flights to the cities of Juazeiro do 
Norte, Jericoacoara, Petrolina, Vitoria da 
Conquista and Una, among others. 

During December 2021, LATAM's

Integrated Report 2021LATAM 
   cargo

LATAM Cargo S.A. and the cargo 

subsidiaries in Colombia and Brazil 
stand out in Latin America as one 
of the main air cargo operators. During 
2021, its contribution to the region 
became even more visible in the global 
context of the COVID-19 pandemic. 

The drop in cargo carrying capacity, due 
to the decrease in passenger flights 
as a result of health restrictions, was 
more intense than the drop in demand, 
thus increasing the load factor at the 
industry level.

In 2021, 801.5 thousand tons of cargo 
were transported, an increase of 2.2% 
from 2020. Revenues increased 27.4% 
compared to the previous year and 
represented 30.2% of the group's total. 
Load factor reached 63.4%, which 
translates into a 2.0 percentage-point 
decrease compared to 2020 (+7.9 
versus 2019) and the yield based on 
ATKs (available ton-kilometer) increased 
by 29.2% compared to 2020 (+68.3% 
vs. 2019). The restrictions forced the 
suspension of several passenger routes, 
which was reflected in a reduction in the 
capacity of the belly cargo service (using 
passenger aircraft).

However, LATAM's effort to operate 
routes that originally only considered 
passenger aircraft as net cargo flights 
represents the group's commitment 
to its customers in businesses 
such as the salmon, fruit, flower, 
pharmaceutical, or mining industries, 
among others, which needed to ensure 
their operational continuity.

Building the future
The year 2021 also meant the launch 
of a new technology systems platform 
on which the group had been working 
for three years. Thanks to this project, 
today LATAM cargo has a world-class 
system that not only allows it to make 
its operations more efficient, but also 
gives customers the ease of doing 
their business with LATAM cargo and 
its cargo subsidiaries, improving their 
user experience.

The end-to-end platform, which covers 
all processes from pricing to payment, 
is hosted on the cloud, reducing system 
downtime and information loss or errors 
by holding all dispatch data in one place. 
The new system is already in place 
for all international operations and is 
expected that all of its capabilities will 
be taken advantage of and implemented 
for domestic operations during 2022.

During the fourth quarter, LATAM cargo 
announced two major international 
marketplace agreements to expand the 
channels where it offers its capacity.

Committed against COVID
In 2021, LATAM cargo strengthened 
its operations to support the mass 
transportation of vaccines to and 
within South America and domestic 
markets. This was made possible by 
a multidisciplinary effort involving 
different areas of the business, 
enabling the creation of new 
procedures and optimizing logistics  
and coping with the pandemic.

The initiative positioned LATAM group,  
and LATAM cargo specifically, as 
a strategic ally of governments to 
meet the logistical challenge of mass 
vaccination campaigns. In total, LATAM 
was responsible for transporting one 
in five doses of vaccines administered 
by Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, 
Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, and 
Uruguay. In countries such as Chile and 
Paraguay, coverage was even higher: 
two out of three.

351.8

million doses
of COVID vaccines
transported.

The Center of Excellence of Independent 
Validators (CEIV Pharma) certification 
from the International Air Transport 
Association (IATA) was key for this, as 
it proved to each of the Latin American 
governments the robustness of LATAM's 
Pharma services and the experience and 
knowledge of the group to transport 
vaccines with all kinds of requirements.

The first vaccines were transported on 
December 24, 2020, and until the end 
of 2021, 351,853,590 doses of COVID 
vaccines were transported to South 
America, including the countries of the 
continent and at the domestic level. Of 
these, 207,750,400 were transported 
free of charge at the domestic level on 
the Avion Solidario (Solidary Plane) in 
Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru, within 
the framework of the program's alliances 
with local governments to facilitate 
distribution at the national level.

Integrated Report 2021Fleet 

In 2021, as part of the reorganization 

process, the group achieved a full 
restructuring of its fleet, which 
included renegotiating contracts, 
reducing total aircraft, eliminating 
Airbus A350 models, and homologating 
wide-body aircraft. These initiatives 
will enable estimated savings of more 
than 40 per cent of fleet cash costs 
compared to 2019 levels.

The results of the negotiations were 
favorable, and the extension of pay 
periods and variable pay and the reduction 
of lease payments were agreed. 

As at 31 December 2021, 3101 aircraft 
made up LATAM's total fleet, with an 
average age of 10.9 years.

The international operations have 591 
Boeing wide-body aircraft, including 22 
Boeing 767-300ER, 10 Boeing 777-
300EF and 27 Boeing 787 Dreamliners 
(versions 8 and 9), worldwide 
benchmarks for fuel efficiency and 
reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) 
emissions and noise. The fleet for 
domestic and regional operations 
in South America consists of Airbus 
aircraft, mainly of the narrow-body 
type, including 44 Airbus A319, 133 
Airbus A320, 49 Airbus A321, and 12 
Airbus A320neo, which is 15% more fuel 
efficient and generates half the noise 
than the previous equivalent model.

LATAM Cargo's operating fleet totals 
12 Boeing 767 aircraft. In 2021, the 
group launched a three-year plan, 
which will expand the fleet to 21 
aircraft, increasing its capacity by 85%. 
By the end of the year, the first of the 
10 new cargo planes converted from 
Boeing 767 passenger aircraft was 
fulfilled, and the fleet is expected to

Brazil, the base is located in São Carlos 
and has capacity for eight aircraft.

In 2021, the two bases were 
responsible for 446 maintenance 
services, representing 83 per cent of 
total fleet maintenance and a total 
of 1.3 million man-hours worked. The 
rest of the aircraft were serviced by 
external suppliers.

Line maintenance (minor, preventive, 
and corrective tasks) is distributed 
across different LATAM hangars, such 
as those located in Santiago (Chile); 
São Carlos, Congonhas/São Paulo, and 
Brasilia (Brazil); Lima (Peru), and Miami 
(United States). This network includes 
a series of automated and integrated 
services that ensure compliance with all 
safety requirements and in accordance 
with local and international regulations.

In addition, within the framework 
of the reorganization process, fleet 
commitment agreements have been 
reached with Boeing for two 787 
Dreamliner aircraft and with Airbus 
for a total of 70 more fuel-efficient 

LATAM has planned 
to modernize its fleet until
 2028 with the 
incorporation 
of 70 aircraft of the
Airbus A320neo family 
and two Boeing 787-9

aircraft from the 
A320neo family, 
strengthening 
LATAM's 
commitment to 
its long-term 
sustainability 
strategy. Delivery 
dates are planned 

until 2028. However, they could vary 
as a result of ongoing discussions with 
manufacturers in the context of the 
current global situation.

Maintenance
Aircraft maintenance, planning, and 
return activities in compliance with the 
fleet plan are carried out at LATAM's 
Maintenance, Repair, and Operation 
(MRO) bases in Chile and Brazil. 
The units also perform temporary 
maintenance services to third parties. 

The Chilean base is located in Santiago 
and can serve two narrow-body and one 
wide-body aircraft simultaneously. In

LATAM establishes an ongoing dialogue 
with its shareholders and others players 
in the capitals markets. On the Investor 
Relations site, where updated financial 
statements and quarterly results reports 
are published, the group details the 
corporate governance structure, other 
relevant data to support shareholders, 
investors, and market analysts in 

decision-making and information on

Dividends
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. has defined 
that the distribution of dividends should 
correspond to at least the figure equivalent 
to 30% of the liquid profits of the previous 
year, in accordance with the regulations 
in force, which does not prevent any 
distribution of dividends in excess of this 
mandatory minimum, taking into account 
the particularities and circumstances that 
may arise during the year.

In 2021, since the Company incurred 
losses in the financial year 2021, there 
was no dividend payment, in accordance 
with the legislation in force.

Integrated Report 2021Decision-making  
bodies

The main governing body of LATAM 

Airlines Group S.A. is the Board, 
which defines and monitors 
the group’s strategic guidelines. It 
consists of nine permanent members, 
individually elected for two-year 
periods, by the cumulative voting 
system. Each shareholder has one vote 
per share and may cast all their votes in 
favor of a single candidate or distribute 
them among several. This practice 
ensures that shareholders of 10% of the 
shares on the market may choose at 
least one representative. 102-18

The Board holds regular monthly 

meetings and, whenever necessary, 
extraordinary meetings. In 2021, 

the average attendance at the 35 
ordinary and extraordinary sessions held 
throughout the year was 96.8%. Directors 
Ignacio Cueto, Enrique Cueto, Patrick 
Horn and Nicolas Eblen attended 100% 
of the meetings, while directors Enrique 
Ostale, Sonia Villalobos, Henri Philippe 
Reichstul, Eduardo Novoa, and Alexander 
Wilcox attended 94.3% of the meetings.

In addition to the Directors’ or Audit 
Committees, four sub-committees 
support the Board in decision-making: 
Strategy & Sustainability, Leadership, 
Finance, and Clients.

As part of a self-assessment process, 
the Board members routinely fill out 
a form on best practices, required by 
Chile's Financial Market Commission 
(CMF, for its Spanish acronym).

96.8%it was the average 

attendance at the 
regular meetings of the 
Board in 2021. 

Directors Committee
The Directors’ Committee is composed 
of members of the Board and its 
functions consist mainly of reviewing 
and evaluating the reports from external 
auditors, balance sheets, and other 
financial statements, and proposing 
to the Shareholders' Meeting the 
names of external auditors and risk-
rating agencies. The Committee also 
serves as the Audit Committee. This 
composition meets the requirements of 
the Chilean Corporations Act (LSA, for 
its Spanish acronym), the standards 
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the 
guidelines of the US Securities and 
Exchange Commission (SEC).

At December 31, 2021, the Committee 
included Eduardo Novoa Castellon, Patrick 
Horn Garcia, and Nicolas Eblen Hirmas. All 
three are considered independent under 
section 10A of the SecuritiesExchange Act.

According to the Chilean LSA, only the 
first two have independent board member 
status. Said law requires two independent 
board members; that is, who have no 
links, interests, economic, professional, 
credit, or commercial dependence of 
any relevant nature or volume on the 
company, the other subsidiaries of 
the Group, its controller, or the main 
executives, nor any family ties with the 
latter, among other characteristics.

Executives compensation
In 2021, executive remuneration 
totaled US$19,895,749 (US$19,895,749 
from remuneration and US$0 from 
profit-sharing in March). In 2020, 
US$18,436,960 were paid as 
remuneration and US$13,343,991 
were paid out as profit-sharing, 
amounting to US$31,780,951 as total 
gross remuneration.

Compensation plans
Compensation plans implemented 
through the awarding of stock options 
to buy and pay for shares offered 
by the group to its employees are 
recognized in the Financial Statements 
pursuant to IFRS 2 “Share-Based 
Payments”. These plans report 
the effect of the fair value on the 
options awarded as a linear charge to 
remunerations between the date when 
said options are granted and the date 
when they become irrevocable.

• LP3 Compensation plan (2020-2023): 
LATAM implemented a program for a 
group of executives, lasting until March 
2023, with a vesting period between 
October 2020 and March 2023, where 
the collection percentage is annual and 
cumulative. The methodology is an 
allocation of a number of units, where a 
target value is set for the stock.

Integrated Report 2021Ethics Channel

The ethics channel receives reports on 
breaches of laws and internal rules, such 
as breaches of the Code of Conduct, 
labor irregularities, discrimination, 
labor and sexual harassment, fraud, 
corruption, and bribery, among others. 
The channel guarantees confidentiality 
and is managed by a specialized third-
party provider, who performs the 

initial evaluation of all records. When 
necessary, the cases are transferred 
to the Code of Conduct Management 
Committee in each country (which is 
comprised of representatives from 
various areas) and is responsible for 
ensuring that the cases are channeled  
as required. 102-17

Related-party transactions
LATAM has a Related-Party Transactions 
Control Policy applicable to the parent, 
all subsidiaries, all members of the 
LATAM group, as well as their directors, 
employees, and partners.

The policy states that such transactions 
must be conducted in accordance with 
the law, under market conditions, and 
focused on contributing to the social 
interest. The document also establishes 
the cases in which it is appropriate to 
submit such transactions for evaluation 
by the Directors’ Committee and for the 
approval of the Board of Directors or the 
Shareholders' Meeting, per legal definition.

The consolidated financial statements 
for the financial year ended December 
31, 2021, report the transactions carried 

out in 2021 between LATAM and its 
subsidiaries. For more information, see 
note 33 of the Financial Statements.

Political Contributions

Integrated Report 2021Financing  
       Policy

The scope of LATAM’s Financing Policy 

is to meet the group’s financing 
needs, including the acquisition 
of fleet assets, such as aircraft and 
engines, financing other investments, 
and financing working capital.

Moreover, at the beginning of the 
period, the group had a committed 
credit line with a 12-bank consortium 
for US$600 million that is fully 
available (Revolving Credit Facility 
– RCF). This line is subject to the 
availability of the collateral consisting 
of aircrafts, spare engines, and overall 
spare parts. During the period, LATAM 
held 100% of this line.

This year, as in the previous one, LATAM 
has reduced most of its recurrent 
investments, which usually correspond 
to fleet acquisition programs. Normally, 
LATAM finances between 70% and 85% 
of the value of the assets through 
bank loans, bonds covered by the 
export promotion agencies, or through 
commercial loans, capital investments, 
or the Company’s own funds. The 
payment schedules of the various 
aircraft financing structures are mostly 
for 12 years. Moreover, LATAM contracts 
a large part of its fleet purchase 
commitments through operating leases 
as an additional source of financing.

During 2021, LATAM has focused its 
resources on maintaining the operation 
and adjusting fleet size in line with 
current and projected demand in the 
coming years, considering the pandemic 
that exists worldwide. In this sense, 

During 2021, as part of the 
reorganization process under Chapter 
11 of the United States Bankruptcy 
Law which it is undergoing, LATAM 
obtained Tranche B of the debtor in 
possession financing, or DIP, for US$750 
million, due April 8, 2022. Together 
with the US$2.45 billion that the 
group already had since 2020, it totals 
US$3.20 billion. Of these, US$1.95 
billion are drawn at 31 December 2020, 
leaving US$1.25 billion available to 
draft. In this way, the group succeeded 
in strengthening its operation.

Recently, on March 14, 2022, LATAM 
presented a new DIP financing proposal 
consisting of a group of financiers 
who are considering an extension 
of the maturity date for the three 
tranches of the DIP contract until 
August 8, 2022, with the possibility of 
a further extension. This proposal was 
subsequently approved by the court on 
March 15, 2022.

as part of the reorganization process 
which it is undergoing, LATAM has 
devoted its efforts to the restructuring 
of fleet contracts, achieving a decrease 
in payment obligations during the 
current year and extending our maturing 

The group restructured its 
fleet contracts for 
2021 and the future

obligations for 
several more years.

Another of the 
main goals of the 

Financing Policy is to ensure a stable 
debt maturity and leasing commitment 
profile, including debt servicing and the 
payments on fleet leases, consistent 
with the generation of LATAM’s projected 
operating cash flow, considering the 
effect of the pandemic on the latter.

Integrated Report 2021Market  
   Risk Policy 

Given the nature of its operations, 

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. is 
subject to market risks, such as: 
(i) fuel price risk, (ii) interest rate risk, 
and (iii) exchange rate risk. In order to 
hedge fully or partially against these 
risks, LATAM uses financial derivatives 
to reduce the adverse effects that 
these risks could cause.  

Market risk is managed integrally and 
considers the correlation with each 
market factor to which the group is 
exposed. In order to operate with each 
counterpart, the Company must have 
an approved line and a framework 
signed with it.

Fuel price risk: Variations in fuel prices 
depend significantly on oil supply and 
demand in the world, as well as on the 
decisions made by the Organization 
of the Petroleum Exporting Countries 
(OPEC), the refining capacity worldwide, 
inventory levels, and the occurrence 
or absence of climatic phenomena or 
geopolitical factors. LATAM purchases 
aircraft fuel, known as jet fuel. For the 
execution of fuel hedges, there is a 
benchmark index on the international 
market for this underlying asset, which 
is the Jet Fuel 54 US Gulf Coast, used 
mostly by LATAM Airlines Group S.A. to 
make hedges during 2021. LATAM also 
carries out hedges on NYMEX Heating 
Oil, whose underlying asset is included 
in the Fuel Risk Hedging Policy, given its 
high correlation with Jet Fuel 54.

The Fuel Hedging Policy sets 
a minimum and a maximum 
hedging range for the group's fuel 
consumption, based on the capacity 
to pass through fuel price variations 
to airfares, anticipated sales, and the 
competitive scenario. Moreover, this 
Policy sets hedging zones, a premiums 
budget, and other strategic restrictions 

that are assessed and presented 
periodically before the LATAM Finance 
Committee.

With regard to fuel hedging instruments, 
the Policy makes it possible to contract 
combined Swaps and Options only for 
hedging purposes, and does not allow 
the net sale of options.

Corporate governance

39

Integrated Report 2021Interest rate risk on cash flows: 
Interest rate variations depend largely 
on the state of the global economy. 
An improvement in the long-term 
economic outlook pushes long-term 
rates upwards, whereas a drop causes a 
decrease due to market effects. 

However, considering government 
intervention, during periods of economic 
contraction, reference rates are usually 
cut in order to boost aggregate demand 
by making credit more affordable and 
increasing production (just as there 
are hikes in the reference rates during 
periods of economic expansion). 

The uncertainty surrounding how the 
market and the governments will behave, 
and thus, how the interest rate will 
change, leads to a risk related to LATAM's 
debt subject to variable interest, its 
investments, and the new issuances it 
may make. Interest rate risk on existing 
debt materializes in the impact on 
future cash flows related to financial 
instruments, given the interest rate 
fluctuations. Thus, a higher interest rate 
could translate into a higher cash flow 
from interest payments, and vice versa. 

LATAM’s exposure to the risk from 
market interest rate fluctuations is 
mainly related to long-term obligations 
with variable rates. 

In order to reduce the risk from an 
eventual hike in interest rates, LATAM 
can use interest rate swap or other 
derivatives contracts.

At December 31, 2021, LATAM has 
no active interest rates derivatives 
contracts. These positions were closed in 
advance by the respective counterparties 
once the group entered the Chapter 11 
reorganization process.

Exchange rate risks: The functional 
currency used by the parent Company 
is the US dollar. There are two types 
of exchange rate risks: Flow risk and 
balance sheet risk. 

Cash flow risk is a consequence of 
the net revenue position and costs in 
currencies other than US dollars. LATAM 
makes sales of its services in US dollars, 
local currencies, and US dollar-indexed 
prices. In the international passenger 
business, most fares depend on the 
US dollar and, to a lesser extent, the 
euro. In domestic businesses, most 
rates are in local currency without any 
dollar indexing, except for domestic 
businesses in Peru and Ecuador, for 
which both rates and sales are in dollars. 
On the other hand, some of the group’s 
expenses are denominated in US dollars 
or equivalent to the USD, particularly 
fuel costs, aviation taxes, aircraft leases, 

insurance, and aircraft components 
and accessories. Other expenses, 
such as compensation expenses, are 
denominated in local currencies.

Thereby, LATAM is exposed to the 
fluctuations in various currencies, 
mainly the Brazilian Real. LATAM 
Airlines Group S.A. has not hedged 
against exchange rate risks involving 
the Brazilian Real during 2021.

On the other hand, balance sheet risks 
appear when entries in the balance sheet 
are exposed to exchange rate fluctuations, 
given that said entries are expressed in 
a currency unit other than the functional 

The functional currency 
used by the parent 
Company is the US dollar

currency. While 
LATAM may sign 
hedging derivatives 
contracts to protect 
against the impact of a potential currency 
appreciation or depreciation vs. the 
functional currency used by the parent 
Company, during 2021, LATAM made no 
hedges against balance sheet risk.

The main mismatch factor is seen in 
TAM S.A., whose functional currency is 
the Brazilian Real, and as most of its 
liabilities are stated in U.S. dollars, even 
though its assets are stated in local 
currency. At December 31, 2021, the 
liability position of TAM S.A. exceeded 
the asset position by US$535 million.

Moreover, the Finance Committee, 
comprising the Executive Vice-
Presidency and members of LATAM's 
Board, meets periodically to review and 
propose to the Board the approval of 
issues that are not regulated by the 
Financial Policy. LATAM Airlines Group

following goals:

•  To preserve and maintain suitable 
cash flow levels to ensure the 
requirements of the operations, to 
support growth, and to fulfill the 
group's financial obligations.

•  To maintain a suitable level of credit 
lines with local and foreign banks to 
gain access to additional liquidity to 
face contingencies.

•  To maintain an optimal debt level, 

diversify financing sources, manage 
the debt maturity profile, and 
minimize the cost of financing.

•  Capitalize excess cash flow through 

financial investments that will 
guarantee a risk and liquidity 
level consistent with the Financial 
Investment Policy.

•  To reduce the effects of market 

risks, such as variations in fuel prices, 
exchange rates, and interest rates on the 
group's net margin and cash position.

•  To manage counterparty risk through 

the diversification and limits on 
investments and transactions with 
counterparties. 

•  To maintain, at all times, a long-
term visibility of the group's 
projected financial situation to 
anticipate situations of low liquidity, 
deterioration of the financial ratios 
agreed with ratingagencies, etc.

Integrated Report 2021Liquidity and  
Financial Investment Policy 

This liquidity considered the cash 
available and short-term liquid 
investments in addition to a revolving 
credit line committed for a total of 
US$600 million with 12 financial 
institutions, both local and international 
(the RCF or revolving credit facility).

During 2020, as a result of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, the airline business 
in general was seriously affected. 
Specifically, revenues from passenger 
sales declined sharply while requests 
for refunds increased. To address this 
situation, LATAM initially drew the RCF 
completely between March and April.

Subsequently, on May 26, 2020, 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and some 
of its subsidiaries filed for the judicial 
reorganization process established in 
Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Law. On 
July 9, LATAM Airlines Brazil and other 
subsidiaries of the group joined the same 
process. Within this process, LATAM 
obtained financing known as debtor 

LATAM seeks to maintain an 

adequate liquidity position for the 
purpose of safeguarding against 

potential external shocks and the 
volatility and cycles inherent in the 
industry. In this sense, it had closed 
the financial year 2019 with adequate 
liquidity, with a liquidity ratio at 
December 2019 of 19.7% on the total 
income of the last 12 months. 

With regard to the Financial Investment 
Policy, its goal is to centralize 
investment decisions to optimize 
profitability, adjusted for currency 
risk, subject to maintaining suitable 
security and liquidity levels. Moreover, 
the aim is to manage risk through 
the diversification of counterparties, 
maturities, currencies, and instruments. 
In terms of interest rates, the 
years 2020 and 2021 were globally 
characterized by very low rates. In 
addition, the Chapter 11 process, 
in paragraph 345(b), regulates the 
holding of cash for companies under 
reorganization. In compliance with 
this regulation, at the end of the year, 
LATAM held most of its deposits in 
depositor banks authorized by the US 
Trustee of the Southern District of 
New York of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court 
(authorized depository banks).

in possession, or “DIP,” which has the 
feature of giving its creditors priority to 
payment over the group's other unsecured 
obligations. On October 8, 2020, LATAM 
closed the DIP, which has a US$2.45 billion 
committed line with different investors. 
On the same day, it received a first draft 
worth US$1.15 billion, thus ending the year 
with US$1.30 billion of this line committed 
and available to be drafted depending on 
the group's needs. Measured as cash plus 
available DIPs as a percentage of total 
revenues for 2020, LATAM closed the 
year with a liquidity indicator of 68%.

During 2021, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. 
and its subsidiaries continued to pursue 
the reorganization process under Chapter 
11, and therefore continued to draft DIP 
funds totaling US$800 million during 
the year. Also, on October 18, 2021, 
the South District Court of New York 
approved the motion to finance Tranche 
B of LATAM's DIP funding worth US$750 
million. The main objective of financing 
this tranche was to lower the average 
cost of the full DIP, while also helping to 
further strengthen the group's liquidity. 
Apart from the sums drawn and adding 
the other US$750 million, at the end 
of the year, LATAM closed available DIP 
amounts of US$1.25 billion. Adding the 
group's cash, LATAM closed with a total 
liquidity of US$2.29 billion and a liquidity 
index of 45%.

continue to significantly impact global 
inflationary pressures.

In line with this challenging environment 
for the global economy, the IMF’s 
latest projections consider a cross-
cutting downward adjustment between 
economies for new factors not foreseen 
in the previous projection related to the 
early withdrawal of fiscal stimuli mainly 
in the US, disruptions in the logistics 
chain, the spread of the omicron 
variant, and the instability of the real 
estate sector in China. However, in its 
last projection in January 2022, the 
IMF estimated growth for the global 
economy of 5.9% for 2021, while it 
projected growth of 4.4% in 2022 (0.5 
percentage points (p.p.) below the 
previous estimate), and more moderate 
growth of 3.8% in 2023.

For the United States, the IMF has 
estimated a 4.0% expansion for 2022 
in its last projection in January (0.6 
percentage points below the last 
October 2021 estimate), in response 
to the early withdrawal of monetary 
policies and the continuity of

In the midst of the spread of the new 
omicron variant of COVID-19 and the 
emergence of significant inflationary 
pressures, the global economy has 
begun 2022 in a weaker position than 
previously expected. On the one hand, 
the omicron variant has led some 
countries to reimpose certain mobility 
restrictions, while disruptions in the 
logistics chain and rising oil and energy 
prices have generated high levels of 
inflation, which have mainly affected 
the United States and emerging and 
developing economies. The International 
Monetary Fund (IMF) expects 
inflationary pressures to last longer than 
previously estimated, as a result of the 
continuity of disruptions in 2022 in the 
logistics chain and high energy prices, 
and they should gradually decrease 
during the year as the supply-demand 
imbalances recover, and with the 
implementation of monetary policies

passenger-kilometer) and 4.3% in the 
yields compared to the previous year, 
while load factor shows a negative 
variation of 2.1 percentage points 
from the financial year 2020; on the 
other hand, RASK (revenue per ASK – 
Available Seat-Kilometer) reported a 
1.4% increase, explained by the recovery 
of demand thanks to the lifting of 
quarantines and travel restrictions since 
the second half of the current year.

As at 31 December 2021, cargo 
revenues reached ThUS$1,541,634, a 
27.4% increase from 2020. Despite the 
1.4% drop in RTK traffic, yields increased 
29.2%, driven mainly by a strong import 
and export scenario.

The Other Income line item shows a 
decrease of ThUS$183,671 mainly 
due to a fall in Tour Services and plane 
subleasing worth ThUS$55,990, in 
addition to the compensation received 
for the cancellation of the purchase of 
four A350 aircraft from Delta Air Lines 
Inc. for ThUS$62,000 and ThUS$9,240 
from the advance return of leased 
aircraft to Qatar Airways, both during 
the second quarter of 2020, added to 
the negative change in compensation 
income received from Delta Air Lines 
Inc., associated with the implementation 
of the JBA (joint business agreement) 
signed in 2019 for ThUS$14,279.

At December 31, 2021, operating 
costs totaled THUS$6,230,623 
which, compared to 2020, translate 
into higher costs by THUS$230,666, 
equivalent to a 3.8% increase, whereas 
unit cost per ASK decreased by 
14.5%. Furthermore, the effect of the 
Brazilian Real’s depreciation on this 
line item translates into lower costs by 
roughly US$38 million. Item variations 
are explained as follows:

45

Integrated Report 2021a) Remunerations and benefits 
increased ThUS$79,839 due to 
higher recognized expenditures for 
performance bonuses, which were 
suspended during financial year 2020, 
partly offset by an 18% decline in 
the average payroll compared to the 
previous year.

b) Fuel increased 42.3%, equivalent 
to ThUS$442,433. This increase 
corresponds mainly to 25.4% higher 
average unhedged prices and 15.5% 
growth in consumption measured 
in gallons. LATAM recognized a 
ThUS$10,100 fuel hedge profit in 
2021, compared to a ThUS$14,316 
loss in the twelve months of 2020.

c) Commissions show a decrease of 
ThUS$2,701, as a result of the increase 
in direct sales in own agencies and 
digital media during 2021.

d) Depreciation and Amortization 
decreased by ThUS$223,992, mainly 
explained by a smaller average 
fleet during 2021 and the penalties 
levied in the previous year due to 
the accelerated term of IT projects 
resulting from the implementation of 
the LATAM XP digital platform.

e) Other Leases and Landing Fees 
increased ThUS$35,183, mainly in 
handling costs, impacted by the recovery 
of the operation during the second half 
of 2021 and offset by lower airport fees.

f) Passenger Service decreased by 
ThUS$20,325, representing a variation 
of 20.8%, mainly due to restrictions on 
in-flight catering services, imposed as a 
result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 
lower costs of passenger assistance due 
to contingencies. 

g) Aircraft Lease costs for 
ThUS$120,630. Since the second 
quarter of 2021, operational aircraft 
leases under variable mode were 
reported, as a result of the various 
agreements reached by the group.

Aircraft Leasing includes the costs 
associated with leasing payments by the 
hour (PBH) for contracts that have been 
modified by incorporating that structure. 
For these contracts that include variable 
payments by the hour (PBH) at the 
beginning of the period and after that, 
have fixed fees, an asset by right of use 
and lease liability were recognized for 
these amounts at the date of contract 
modification. These sums continue to 
be amortized on a linear basis during 

the term of the lease from the date of 
contract modification, even if at the 
beginning they have a variable payment 
period. Therefore, and as a result of the 
application of the lease accounting policy, 
the result of the period includes both the 
leasing expense for variable payments 
(Aircraft leasing) as well as the expense 
resulting from the amortization of the 
right of use included in the depreciation 
line and the interest on the lease liability.

h) Maintenance has higher costs by 
ThUS$61,356, equivalent to 13.0%, 
mainly due to a higher operation since 
the second half of the current year.

i) The Other Operating Costs show a 
decrease of ThUS$261,757, mainly 
due to adjustments in the estimates 
of write-offs and tax, labor, and civil 
proceedings.

Financial revenues totaled ThUS$21,107 
which, compared to ThUS$50,397 in 
2020, represent lower revenues by 
ThUS$29,290. Despite higher cash 
levels during the six-month period 
compared to the same period in 2020, 
this reduction is due to the limitations 
of Chapter 11 on the group’s cash 
management, requiring 70% of the cash 
to be maintained in authorized banks.

Financial Costs increased 37.2% totaling 
ThUS$805,544 by December 31, 2021. 
The draft of DIP (debtor in possession) 
financing during the fourth quarter of 
2020, in addition to the three drafts in 
June, November, and December 2021, 
increased debt by US$1.95 billion, 
with a higher interest rate, leading to 
an increase of approximately US$330 
million in interest earned.

The other income/costs as at 
December 31, 2021 showed a 
positive change of ThUS$723,360. 
The contingency generated by the 
COVID-19 pandemic affected the 
group’s operations, showing signs of 
impairment that required the carrying 
out of impairment tests resulting in the 
penalization of the total goodwill by 
US$1.72 billion, US$37 million from the 
penalization of airport slots and US$81 
million from fuel hedge contracts, all of 
which generated a loss during the first 
quarter of 2020, partly offset by higher 
reorganization costs during 2021, 
equivalent to US$1.34 billion.

Integrated Report 2021Number 1  
              priority 

The safety of passengers, 

employees, and communities 
is a key value for LATAM. Their 
management adheres to the Safety, 
Quality, and Environment Policy, which 
establishes the guidelines applicable to 
the group, and follows the parameters 
established by the International Civil 
Aviation Organization (ICAO).  

6.17reports for every 

100 flights on the 
incident and deviation 
notification platform. 

Security Management System
Several actions make up the Security 
Management System, whose interaction 
allows you to track your performance 
in all areas, identify risk situations 
in advance, and make decisions to 
mitigate them in a coordinated and 
rapid manner, thus allowing you to 
achieve concrete results.

The information that feeds the system 
is acquired primarily from employee-
delivered safety reports, automated 
data collection systems, and audits. In 
this sense, audits are divided into three 
groups: Periodic internal audits, which 
assess the maturity of the operational 

processes implemented; Internal 
audits based on IOSA (IATA Operational 
Safety Audit) guidelines, which aim 
to ensure that all subsidiaries comply 
with certification parameters; and IOSA 
recertification audits, which can be 
performed every two years, if in-person, 
or annually, if performed remotely. 
All of LATAM's subsidiaries have been 
certified since 2007.

The matrix of risk factors and 
criticality is systematically updated, 
considering an analysis of the group's 
internal data, as well as the historical 
analysis of the global behavior of the 
airline industry.

Ongoing improvement of procedures, 
constant monitoring of performance, 
and team engagement strengthen the 
safety culture.

Safety indicators on flights, 
maintenance and cargo activities, land 
operations and those related to airport 
infrastructure are monitored by the 
Vice President of Security, reported 
monthly to the CEO, and are part of the 
Board's agenda.

The constant presence of this value 
in its in-house campaigns raises 
awareness of the importance of 
safe behavior and an online platform 
receives notifications of incidents and 
detours. The information is used for 
the construction of a risk map and 
for improvement plans. In 2021, the 
platform received an average of 6.17 
reports per 100 flights.

Integrated Report 2021accesses and correlates the different 
databases, allowing it to analyze 
the variables with potential to affect 
operating performance.

Thanks to this approach to data, the 
group has been able to extract valuable 
information from its operations, 
considering more than six data sources, 
which are now correlated for an 
analysis that has never been achieved 
before, with more than 65 terabytes 

of information per year generated on 
flights. In addition, the speed of data 
processing and analysis has improved 
dramatically, reducing periods that 
took weeks or even months to just 
minutes. In 2022, LATAM will seek to 
further strengthen the data collection 
and inputting process in the different 
databases, as well as to strengthen the 
development of its tools to improve 
its analysis capacity within the large 
volume of information.

Flight Data
A computer system collects 96.5% 
of the information of each flight; it 
processes the data automatically 
to identify deviations in operational 
procedures and to guide preventive 
maintenance actions. LATAM analyzes 
deviations causes in detail and adopts 
corrective measures.

The time to receive and process flight 
data has been significantly reduced 
with improved processes and constant 
fleet monitoring. This is proven by data 
comparison: In 2019, this measurement 
began, with 75% of the flight data 
processed within the first three days, 
and in 2021, it was possible, in the 
same period, to process 93.1% of the 
information. For 3G-equipped aircraft, 
data download and processing is 
immediate at the end of the flight.

The coverage of the system has been 
increasing since its commissioning 
in 2016, collecting a greater number 
of parameters and with greater 
accuracy. It went from covering 1,280 
measurements per second to a total of 
4,000 in 2021.

of deviation, etc. The reports are sent 
weekly to the managers of each fleet.

There is also pilot segmented 
information, whose data is available in 
the Pilot LATAM application. Through 
it, pilots can view the details of 
their performance, access incidents 
identified during flights, deviations 
from planning, and compare it to the 
average of the fleet to which they 
belong. Pilot data is treated with 
absolute confidentiality.

Safety II
In 2021, progress was made on the 
implementation of the Safety II or 
Data Learning for Safety (DLS) concept. 
LATAM has been a pioneer in the sector 
in the use of routine operation data in 
the development, analysis, and action 
plans to improve operational safety. 
The group has matured its capacity 
to collect and analyze data between 
different areas and factors that interact 
in the operation, such as: scheduling, 
maintenance, meteorology, training, 
planning, and fatigue, among others, by 
permanently adding new data sources 
that may affect operating performance.

The data feed the Operational Safety 
monitoring panel, where it is possible 
to see the differentiated execution: 
by route, by airport, by fleet, by type 

At the end of 2021, the first module of 
the project became operational, consisting 
of an information panel focused on 
approaches. With this instrument, LATAM

passengers who do not respect the rules 
related to restrictions implemented due 
to the COVID-19 pandemic, followed by 
18% of people who cause trouble due to 
alcohol abuse.

Throughout the year, LATAM held talks 
in support of the cabin operation 
through which it provided tools to 
handle cases of disruptive passengers 
from a psychological perspective, along 
with strengthening procedures for 
operational areas, through meetings and 
communiqués.

Emergency Response Plan

Airport Security
LATAM follows national and international 
standards and invests in the continuous 
improvement of its processes so that 
passengers and transported cargo arrive 
safely at their destinations. 

The focus of work during 2021 was on 
three axes:

•  Adaptation to the pandemic: 

Attention to governments’ restrictions, 
which impacted the closure of borders, 
and implementation of new protocols 
targeting inadmissible passengers 
(the result of non-compliance with 
health requirements) and disruptive 
passengers (those who do not comply 
with the required indications);

•  Technology: updating and 

strengthening of remote monitoring 
systems, which complement 
physical safety measures, to support 
operations according to current 
regulations; and

•  Profiling: These are pilot tests that 
allow a profile of the passengers, at 
certain points of origin, to be made in 
order to avoid inadmissible passengers 
in recurring destinations.

Integrated Report 2021Strategic  
        focus

LATAM seeks to be an asset that 

promotes the social, environmental, 
and economic development of the 

region. To achieve this, it maintains 
the connection with the demands 
and desires of the people, and works 
collaboratively in the search for 
collective solutions. 

This is the basis of its new sustainability 
strategy, which brings together 
commitments and serves as a compass 
for the group's progress over the next 
30 years.  The strategy, launched in 
2021, represents the evolution of the 
work that LATAM has developed for 
years to respond to the climate, social, 
and health needs of the region.

The strategy is the result of a broad 
process of reflection and rethinking 
carried out throughout 2020 and 
involving LATAM's main strategic 
stakeholders. Through more than 30 
meetings held in Brazil, Colombia, 
Ecuador, Peru and Chile, LATAM 
held talks with clients, employees, 
students, academia, researchers, 
experts, representatives of non-
governmental organizations, and 
entities from different productive 
sectors to know their expectations, 
priorities, and vision for the future. 
The exchange of ideas enabled LATAM 
to define how to contribute actively to 
building a fairer society for today and 
for future generations.

The new strategy strengthens the group's 
role as an asset to the countries where it 
operates. The main initiatives undertaken 
in 2021, in the passenger and cargo 
business units, to reach the commitments 
are explained in the next pages.

Everyone’s Commitment
To drive these commitments in the 
organization, LATAM implemented the 
Sustainability Ambassadors program, 
made up of employees who promote and 
communicate new sustainability initiatives, 
generate awareness, and encourage a 
sustainable culture and lifestyle.

The 350 ambassadors in 15 countries 
have the opportunity to participate in 
training workshops, knowledge-sharing 
spaces, and challenges associated with 
the implementation of sustainability 
programs. In addition, LATAM has a 
recognition plan for training courses and 
participation in high-value activities 
associated with the strategy.

Integrated Report 2021Solidary Plane 
program

Through the Avión Solidario 

program, created in 2011, 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. makes 
available to the company its structure, 
connectivity and capacity for passenger 
and cargo transportation free of charge 
in South America. 

The program operates in three fields 
of action: it supports health needs, 
promotes the preservations of natural 
resources, and provides assistance 
in the face of natural disasters. It is 
enhanced through agreements and 
alliances with different organizations, 
foundations, and government agencies. 
During 2021, with the aim of generating 
a stronger support structure, focused 
on deep and long-term changes, new 
strategic alliances were formed.

In the case of Brazil, in addition to the new 
alliances established in 2021 within the 
Avion Solidario program, LATAM supports 
the work of other non-governmental 
organizations: Amigos do Bem, Ampara 
Animal, Alto Arapiuns, Associação 
Caatinga, Embaixadores da Educação, 
FAS, Gastromotiva, Gerando Falcões, 
Instituto Mara Gabrilli, Instituto Tênis, Junior 
Achievement, Make a Wish, Marcos Rossi, 
Rodrigo Mendes, and SOS Bosque Atlántico. 

In addition, since 2018, through an 
agreement with the Brazilian Civil 
House, LATAM has provided courtesy 
tickets for the transportation of 
Venezuelan refugees within the country. 
Also, since 2000, it provides support for 
the transport of organs for transplants; 
in 2013, an agreement was signed 
with the Ministry of Health for the free 
transfer of organs, tissues, and bone 
marrow in national territory.

Integrated Report 2021SHARED VALUE:  
THREE FRONTS OF ACTION

Health
At the end of 2020, LATAM made 
itself available to the governments of 
the countries where it has domestic 
operations, for the free distribution 
of COVID-19 vaccines nationwide. 
The group's experience in the 
pharmaceutical transport business 
through its cargo subsidiaries, and the 
corresponding certifications in the field, 
were key for regional governments 
to entrust to LATAM the efforts of 
transporting vaccines.

In 2021, nearly 208 million vaccines 
were transported in Brazil, Chile, 
Ecuador, and Peru. LATAM Airlines 
Brazil transported nearly 180 million 
vaccines free of charge, representing 
61% of the total airborne doses in the 
country; in Peru, they totaled more 
than 26 million doses, representing 9 
out of every 10 vaccines distributed 
internally in the country. 

Beyond its contribution to combating 
the pandemic, Avion Solidario's work 
on health had other outstanding 
milestones. Examples are given below.

•  In Chile and Brazil, the subsidiaries 
transported 911 organs and tissues 
and carried out 65 stem cell transfers. 

•  Galapagos Oncology Unit: LATAM Airlines 
Ecuador collaborated in the transfer of 
Solca's cargo and medical personnel for 
the inauguration of this hospital that 
offers gynecological health care focused 
on the prevention and detection of 
cervical and breast cancers in Ecuador.

•  Support for the “Rodamos por 

una Sonrisa” (We roll for a smile) 
campaign in Colombia, which recorded 
the crossing of six cyclists from 
Bogota to Riohacha (more than 
1,000 kilometers) in order to raise 
funds for the medical organization 
Operación Sonrisa. LATAM Airlines 
Colombia is a historical ally of that 
foundation, which offers specialized 
care to children with cleft palate. 
Since the beginning of this alliance 
in 2009 in Peru and in 2012 in 
Colombia, LATAM transports the 
team of doctors and volunteers for 
the days of assessment, surgery, 
and rehabilitation that have enabled 
surgical intervention in more than 6 
thousand children in both countries.

Environment
In terms of the environment, LATAM 
transported 195 tons of recyclable 
materials from island territories, as a 
way of collaborating with the challenge 
of reverse logistics and the proper 
management of waste. In 2021, the 
Galapagos Islands in Ecuador joined 
Easter Island in Chile and San Andrés in 
Colombia, pioneers in the matter.

In addition, LATAM has established 
alliances with organizations related to 
the care of endangered species and 
together they achieved 192 transfers. 

Disasters
The Avion Solidario was activated to 
support more than 165 flood-affected 
municipalities in southern Bahia in Brazil 
and transported basic food, drinking 
water, and toiletries and sanitation for 
3,800 people and 2,000 animals, in 
conjunction with the Brazilian Red Cross 
and other civil society organizations. 

The program also supported care to 
those affected by the earthquake 
in Peru. 2.3 tons of staple items 
were transferred to Piura in alliance 
with Hombro a Hombro (shoulder-
to-shoulder), an organization that 
coordinates private business efforts for 
natural disaster prevention and care.

70 A320neo-family aircraft were 
integrated, which incorporate the latest 
technologies providing 20% more fuel

In climate change management, LATAM 

has set challenging targets for itself. As 
part of the launch of its sustainability 
strategy in May 2021, it announced its 
commitment to achieve carbon neutral 
growth taking 2019 as its base year, 
offset the equivalent of 50% of its 
domestic emissions by 2030, and be 
carbon neutral by 2050. 

LATAM ACTION 
FRONTS:

•   Emissions 
offsetting: 
Investment and 
support for 
conservation and 
reforestation 
projects in the 
region's strategic 
ecosystems and 
initiatives that 
involve clients in 
this effort.

•   Efficiency and 
emissions 
reduction: 
Identify and 
implement 
measures for 
fuel economy 
and efficient 
use. Added to 
the development 
of its agenda to 
make the use 
of Sustainable 
Aviation Fuel 
(SAF) viable.

Sectoral agreements
In October 2021, Roberto Alvo, CEO of 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A., participated 
in the 77th Annual General Meeting 
of the International Air Transport 
Association (IATA), in which a resolution 
was adopted whereby the air industry 
commits to achieve zero net CO2 
emissions by 2050, meaning that a total 
of 21.2 tons of carbon will be reduced 
by that year. 

To fulfill this commitment, and 
aligned with the objective of the Paris 
Agreement, the industry is working on 
solutions, such as sustainable aviation 
fuels, technology and innovation, more 
efficient operations and infrastructure, 
and will rely on measures such as carbon 
capture and storage, and compensation 
schemes such as CORSIA.

CORSIA is the Compensation and Carbon 
Reduction Scheme in International 
Aviation through which the aviation 
industry regulates the greenhouse gas 
emissions of international civil aviation. 
CORSIA will contribute to stabilizing net 
emissions from international aviation at 
2019 levels in the short and medium term.

Commitment to the future

Integrated Report 2021OFFSETTING EMISSIONS

Latin America is home to six of the 10 
most biodiversity-rich countries in the 
world, with one-third of the planet's 
freshwater, more than one-quarter of 
its forests and arable land, and 40% 
of the species on the whole of the 
Earth1. Beyond buying carbon credits 
to offset its emissions, LATAM has 
made a comprehensive commitment to 
the environment and has established 
a number of alliances that will allow 
it not only to purchase carbon credits 

for compensation, but also actively 
participate in the conservation strategies 
of projects that generate these credits.

To ensure that projects meet the 
highest standards and, in addition to 
carbon dioxide capture, have social, 
environmental, and economic co-
benefits for communities, LATAM 
evaluates each initiative under a set of 
sustainability criteria prior to selection. 
This evaluation prioritizes those projects 
that contribute to the conservation and 
protection of biodiversity.

In the materialization of this strategy, 
it is worth noting the alliance of LATAM 
Group with CO2BIO, a project located in 
the Colombian Orinoco region spanning 
over 200 thousand hectares and seeking 
to protect the flooded savanna, one of the 
most threatened and underrepresented 
ecosystems in the country. This project has 
been promoted by Fundación Cataruben, 
with the support of the Natural Wealth 
Program of the United States Agency for 
International Development (USAID) and 
Panthera Colombia. Through conservation 
and rehabilitation actions, this initiative will 

capture 1 million tons of CO2 during the 
2021–2023 period, and has the potential 
to capture up to 2.8 million additional 
tons by 2025. These projections are 
updated according to the progress on the 
certification of new phases. 

As part of the joint work on climate 
change management, during 2021, 
LATAM also developed the first phase 
of a collaboration with The Nature 
Conservancy (TNC) to plan conservation 
and reforestation actions in iconic 
ecosystems in the region.

Fly Neutral 201-2
In addition to the alliance with major 
NGOs, associations, and authorities, 
LATAM developed the Fly Neutral program, 
which gives its corporate clients the 
opportunity to choose from a portfolio 
of high environmental value projects to 
offset the emissions generated in their 
air travel. As part of the proposal and 
commitment to conservation, LATAM 
Airlines matches the amount of tons 
offset by its corporate clients, through the 
1+1 mechanism.

In the first phase of the Fly Neutral 
program, the passengers of the 
corporate segment (LATAM Corporate) 
can find out the carbon footprint of 
their itinerary and compensate through 
a portfolio of projects that seek to 
stop deforestation in strategic areas, 
conserve biodiversity, and strengthen 
capacities in communities.

In turn, LATAM cargo developed its 
carbon emissions calculator and 
established the structure that will 
enable it to collaborate with cargo 
clients in offsetting their shipments.

EMISSIONS REDUCTION

Collaborative approach
LATAM joined as one of the pioneering 
airline groups of the Clean Flight 
program in Chile, promoted by the 
Civil Aeronautics Board and the 
Energy Sustainability Agency seeking, 
under a collaborative public-private 
approach, to improve the energy and 
environmental management of the air 
industry, identifying and implementing 
opportunities to reduce fuel 
consumption. Together with this, it will 
foster the use of cleaner technologies, 
such as sustainable aviation fuels. 

Selected projects 
In 2021, LATAM Airlines Colombia 
offset 334,144 tons of carbon dioxide 
by purchasing carbon credits through 
the CO2Bio conservation initiative in 
the Colombian Orinoco region and the 
Carmen del Darien REDD+, Mutata 
REDD+, ACAPA BMF REDD+, Bajo 
Calima, and Bahia Malaga projects, 
located in the departments of Choco, 
Antioquia, Narino, and Valle del Cauca.

All projects selected by LATAM for 
emissions compensation ensure 
environmental, social and economic 
co-benefits for communities, such 
as in the case of Carmen del Darien 
REDD+, Mutata REDD+, which  seek 
to protect forests in the Choco-Darien 
bioregion, considered of national and 
international importance due to the 
biodiversity they hold and for their 
ecosystem services.

Integrated Report 2021generated is equivalent to a reduction 
in consumption of approximately one 
million gallons per year.

In addition, in 2021, it proposed 
to upgrade its A320-family fleet 
with the Airbus Descent Profile 
Optimization (DPO) feature, a fuel-
saving enhancement to the aircraft's 
flight management system (FMS) 
performance database. 

The group remained focused on 
improving ground and air operating 
procedures and fleet optimization and 
rejuvenation with the addition of new 
Airbus A320neo aircraft. These aircraft 
use more efficient engines, with 15% 
lower consumption, 8% lower operating 
cost, 50% lower emissions of nitrogen 
oxides (NOx), and lower acoustic 
impact than the previous version, A320, 
according to manufacturer data.

LATAM Fuel Efficiency 201-2
LATAM has developed a number of 
actions that seek responsible fuel 
use. Initiatives focused on reducing 
consumption and operating efficiency to 
optimize its savings. In addition to fleet 
modernization, it has a fuel-efficient 
program, with more than 10 years of 
history, called LATAM Fuel Efficiency.

From 2012 to 2021, the group increased 
aviation fuel efficiency by 5.3% through 
the program. In 2020, the results 
were impacted by some pandemic 
procedures, such as increased use of 
the auxiliary engine (APU) on land and 
use of air conditioning throughout the 
landing to renew the cabin air. In 2021, 
gross savings totaled 8,314,052 gallons 
(1,090 TJ of energy), equivalent to 
US$24.5 million. The work has a positive 
impact on reducing the carbon footprint 
and also on reducing costs. 302-4

In search of a more efficient technology 
and operation, in 2018, LATAM 
implemented a pilot application that 
allows continuous monitoring of 
their flight performance according to 
the initiatives. At the beginning of

Integrated Report 2021Circular  
      economy

LATAM has determined to eliminate 

single-use plastics by 2023 and 
to be a zero-landfill waste group 
by 2027. To achieve these goals, and 
in order to boost the circular economy 
within its processes, in 2021, it 
developed a detailed evaluation of its 
waste management, including analysis 
from the materiality of the inputs it 
employs in its operation. 

Instead of a linear system (extraction 
>> production >> consumption) that 
ends with end-of-life discarding, it is 
working to ensure that the materials 
used in the operation are sustainable 
and that, after their use, rather than 
becoming waste, they are reintegrated 
into another production cycle as raw 
material for new products.

LATAM carried out an evaluation of its 
waste management whose goal was, 
among others, to identify the materials 
that generate significant impacts on 
the environment in order to define 
actions focused on their disposal, such 
as single-use plastics, which are widely 
used in the aviation industry.

This diagnostic process began in 2021 
and focused on the areas with the 
highest generation of waste such as 
Airport, Maintenance, In-flight Service, 
and Cargo. The results of this evaluation 
will support the definition of strategies 
to achieve the goals that LATAM has set 
out in circular economics.

Waste diagnosis 
A diagnosis of LATAM’s waste generation 
was developed in 2021 from an 
assessment of representative samples. 
The main waste-generating processes 
and main bases of the operation 
were taken and, extrapolating to the 
conditions of the pre-COVID operation 
(base year 2019), it was identified that 
LATAM generated about 11 thousand 
tons of solid waste.

According to the results of the diagnosis, 
plastic generation is one of the critical 
elements in In-flight Service, and since 
this macroprocess has the greatest 
weight in the group's waste matrix, in 
line with the goals defined by LATAM, 
the single-use plastic disposal will be 
prioritized by 2022, which will allow us to 
reach 2023 with its full elimination.

The life cycle assessment that began in 
2021 will be essential to feed the group's 
circular economy strategy, and in 2022, 
LATAM will continue to strengthen this 
process with the implementation of a 
waste follow-up and monitoring system.

Integrated Report 2021WASTE MANAGEMENT 
Rethinking processes
In 2021, LATAM defined a structure 
focused on migrating to the circular 
economy model in which, in addition to 
moving forward with process evaluation, 
it considers a line of action to rethink and 
redesign processes and products that 
guarantee a more sustainable experience 
for passengers. In this development, one 
of the most significant results was the 
redesign of LATAM's amenity kits and the 
gradual change of materials.

The amenity kits, which are initially 
available on the Santiago de Chile - 
Madrid and Sao Paulo - Miami routes, 
contain local items that generate 
less impact on the planet: bamboo 
toothbrushes with caps made of sugar 

cane, reusable eye masks and socks, 
and vegan and cruelty-free products 
made by Brazilian craftswomen. In 
addition, with the aim of showcasing the 
artistic and cultural wealth of our region, 
the kits are delivered in a reusable and 
collectable bag designed by South 
American artists. Gradually, they will be 
implemented on other routes.

Paperless
LATAM continues to advance in the 
implementation of digital processes that 
allow it to be more efficient, provide 
better service, and reduce the impact 
on the environment. This is the case 
with the elimination of magazines on its 
aircraft where, through digitization, in 
addition to avoiding the consumption of 
paper as a resource and the generation 

of waste, it further significantly 
contributes to reduce emissions as a 
result of lower fuel consumption.

In-flight service
In order to optimize the amount of 
food that is loaded on each flight and 
reduce waste linked to the In-flight 
Service, LATAM has an automated 
food ordering system that allows 
catering service providers to load only 
the amount of food required, based 
on confirmed booking passengers. 
This service is implemented on 
international flights.

In addition, in coordination with catering 
providers, measures are implemented 
to take advantage of some elements on 
board. Based on their characteristics, 

those that are not opened or delivered 
may be loaded on another flight.

Aeronautical material
In the reconfiguration and modernization 
of LATAM's fleet, aeronautical materials 
and elements are removed: seats, 
galleys, floor mats, among others. To 
ensure their proper management and 
in accordance with current regulations, 
LATAM takes advantage of them so that 
they can be reused in the operation or 
in other companies. For example, in the 
case of seats, a campaign was triggered 
to enable employees to purchase 
and use them in their homes. Last, 
for materials that cannot be reused, 
agreements were made with recycling 
providers to ensure that waste from 
these materials does not reach landfills.

Waste and the air industry

Information on the volumes of waste 
generated in the air industry is limited. 
According to an IATA study, conducted 
at Heathrow Airport in London, England, 
in 2012 and 2013 a typical passenger 
generated 1.43 kilos of cabin garbage 
per flight. This is an average that includes 
short- and long-haul international flights 
from different airlines.
In the industry, they recognize the 
importance of reducing, recycling, and 
reusing cabin waste from their aircraft. 

However, actions to control pollution are 
subject to each country, which in turn have 
sanitary measures that inhibit them with 
the aim to protect local agriculture, in many 
cases requiring waste to be incinerated or 
buried instead of reused or recycled.
According to information published 
by IATA, cabin waste could double in 
the next 10 years, should the industry 
continue without intelligent regulation. 
That is why it is important to simplify 
and harmonize cabin waste management 

and to promote technical solutions that 
reduce industry costs and contribute to 
the circular economy. IATA is sharing 
best practices with its airlines, catering 
companies, airports, and regulators, 
and commissioned a study proposing 
the adoption of regulation that allows 
waste to be reused and recycled while 
maintaining animal health controls. 

Commitment to the future

Integrated Report 2021Ground Operations
•  Pallet Reutilization: In LATAM 

Cargo, initiatives are gradually being 
incorporated to reuse pallets in 
good condition, repair those that are 
damaged, and reuse those in poor 
condition, turning them into furniture 
for the operations lounge or signage 
for cargo warehouses.

•  Composting: At Chile's maintenance 
base, almost 40 tons of organic 
material were composted in a project 
started in 2021.

•  In-Facility Recycling: In the hangars, 
cargo warehouses, and LATAM offices, 
recycling initiatives are implemented 
to reduce the amount of waste being 
carried to landfills and from which 
862.9 tons of waste have been 
recycled in 2021.

Uniform recycling
An initiative that was born in Peru in 
2018 and allows LATAM to take over 
and give a second life to the discarded 
uniforms. This program not only 
minimizes the impact on the environment 
with the conversion of textile waste, but 
also creates the possibility of building 
a more sustainable community through 
partnerships, employment generation, 
and the encouragement of responsible 
consumption.

LATAM Airlines Peru is allied to SISAN 
craftswomen, enterprising women 
who use textiles as an input to 
produce handcrafts that highlight the 
iconographies of the Pachacamac 
sanctuary. Its products are sold at the 
Pachacamac Museum, as well as through 
the LATAM Pass miles redemption catalog.

The proven success of this initiative 
enabled Ayacucho to expand in the 
Peruvian sierra in 2021, and work is 
being done on the implementation and 
development of pilot projects in Brazil, 
Chile, Ecuador, and Colombia.

To achieve efficient and sustainable 
development that impacts the economy 
and empowerment of women, revaluing 
local culture, this program includes 
training in soft skills such as leadership 
and teamwork; self-esteem and 
economic independence and family 
planning; and in business management 
with the following topics: exploration 
of business ideas, the foundations of a 
business and basic finances, introduction 
to marketing, and/or virtuality and 

marketing. In Peru, there are already 
more than 30 skilled craftswomen.

Between 2018 and 2019, LATAM 
donated 8,013 garments, equivalent to 
1.3 tons of fabric, achieving a reduction 
of 26 tons of CO2 emissions to the 
environment. For 2020 and 2021, 
the donation of approximately 3,000 
garments (0.5 tons of fabric) involved a 
reduction of 9 tons of CO2 emissions to 
the environment.

Integrated Report 2021Pilot in Colombia 
In partnership with the World Women's 
Corporation, the “Colombia, an Ancestral 
Journey” collection was launched, using 
the textile waste of the uniforms of 
the crew and agents to manufacture 
new products required by different 
areas across the group. The pieces have 
artisan participations from communities 
representing the country: Emberas, 
Kunas, Wayuu and Zenus.

Recycle Your Trip
Through the Recycle Your Trip program, 
LATAM mobilizes passengers and 
catering providers toward recycling 
waste generated on board by 
passengers on domestic flights.  The 
process begins when the crew collect 
the waste in the LATAM trolley and 
segregate it between aluminum (cans), 
glass (spirits and juices), and plastics 
(bottles and cups). Once the aircraft 
has landed, the material is separated 
and delivered to the catering provider, 
who sees that it is transferred to 
different recycling centers.

LATAM performance
Total waste generated in 2021, 
according to on-site generation 
including hazardous liquid waste, was 
28.8 thousand tons, an increase of 338 
per cent over the previous year. About 
3.9% of that total was sent for recycling. 
This increase is mainly due to the 
reactivation of operations.

Launched in Chile in 2019, the program 
was suspended in 2020 because of the 
pandemic and resumed in May 2021. 
Since then, it has progressively spread 
to other subsidiaries, reaching Ecuador 
in September. Implementation in Peru, 
Colombia, and Brazil is planned for the 
first half of 2022 because in-flight 
services are not yet permitted as a 
result of the pandemic.

Environmental management  
                       and eco-efficiency

To fulfill the commitments made as 

part of its sustainability strategy, 
and within the framework of 

environmental management, LATAM 
Airlines Group S.A. implemented a 
transparent and auditable system that 
allows it to keep environmental variables 
in mind in all the processes of the group, 
and that has environmental certification 
(IEnvA) across the operation. 

IEnvA is IATA's environmental assessment 
program for the aviation sector and is 
designed to independently assess and 
improve the environmental management 
of an airline. Membership is voluntary and 
involves two stages: the first one includes 
the environmental management system, 
the commitment of senior management, 
and the mapping of relevant legal-
environmental requirements and of 
environmental aspects and impacts of 
activities; the second, more advanced 
stage includes the definition of goals, 
audits, operating programs and controls, 
and the training of teams.

Since 2020, three operations had 
already been certified: LATAM cargo 
in Miami, United States under ISO 
14001/2015, LATAM Airlines Colombia, 
and Chile, under IEnvA stage 1 and 2, 
respectively. During 2021, certification 
was achieved for the group’s 9 carriers, 
both in cargo and in passengers, under 
stage 1, and IEnvA stage 2 certification 
is expected to be achieved across the 
company during 2022.

As part of the evolution of its 
environmental management system, 
LATAM renewed its Safety, Quality, 
and Environment Policy to more 
specifically include the guidelines 
linked to environmental management 
and the control of the organization's 
environmental impacts.

Discussions on topics such as 
leadership, sustainability, diversity and 
inclusion, among others, were added 
to the regular agenda of dialogs. The 
meetings, led by the Vice President of 
Human Resources and leaders from 
different areas of the group, were open 
to all stakeholders, leading to a more 
complete view of how these subjects 
are perceived and how LATAM is 
expected to address them. 

On parallel, the internal leadership 
index was adjusted with the inclusion 
of variables to measure group progress 
toward its objectives of simplicity and 
transparency, as well as compliance 
with expected timely feedback practices, 
team meetings, 1 to 1 meetings, and a 
culture of recognition of good actions, 
among others. In addition, there is a 
measurement from the team itself 
toward their superiors, which makes 
it possible to extract a 360° view of 
the leader's performance, which has 
the fundamental role of driving overall 
development.

Growth and development
Throughout the year, more than 665 
thousand hours of training were 
carried out, divided into more than one 
thousand updated and 500 new courses, 
representing a total investment of 
US$11.6 million. Average training hours 
per employee reached 36.3 hours, an 
increase of 21% compared to 2020.

This type of initiative opens up spaces 
for teams’ professional growth. In 
2021, more than 2 thousand individuals 
were promoted, 3.2 thousand changed 
responsibilities, and more than 50% of 
the positions generated in the year were 
occupied by internal personnel. 

The turnover rate was 22.5%, down 
from 53.7% in 2020, when the largest 
adjustments in the operation occurred 
in response to the global crisis resulting 
from the pandemic.

Integrated Report 2021Occupational health and safety  403-7 
For LATAM Airlines Group, occupational 
health and safety management is a 
process of ongoing improvement, which 
considers stages of identification, 
prevention and mitigation of risks in the 
various environments and operations, 
internal performance monitoring, and 
identification of good practices.

Actions taken in 2021 to ensure a safe 
work environment include:

•  Occupational safety work plan: 
focused on inspections of critical 
hazards, such as work at height, 
confined spaces, or mobile 
equipment;

•  Inspection Plan: implemented 
in Brazil for personal protective 
equipment and lifelines for 
maintenance activities;

•  Work safety plan in the cargo 
network: more than 20 actions 
focused on four pillars: infrastructure, 
procedures, culture, and risk 
management;

•  Safety Practice Index (SPI): 

implemented for cargo operations at 
the Santiago and Miami airports; and

•  Management Dashboards: an 

accident-free day dashboard and 
a proactive occupational safety 
indicator panel is implemented in 
Cargo.

Performance on the monitored 
indicators was positive, maintaining 
good results in 2020. The API (Action 
Plan Index), which manages the 
effectiveness of potential risk mitigation 
plans (all identified and different 
severity levels) remained stable at 94%, 
and the injury rate was 0.48.

1 Employees who left the group (voluntarily, by dismissal, retirement, or death in service) during 
the year/Total employees by  December 31.
2 Work injuries with interruption of work. Note: Accidents related to some critical risk and high-im-
pact events (accidents resulting in over 100 days lost) represent 1.5 in the calculation. Rate calcu-
lation formula: total injuries with work interruptions/average no. of employees x 100.
3 Includes work interruptions related to occupational diseases, accidents, or deaths. The days lost 
are computed in accordance with the local legislation in each country. Colombia and the United 
States start to count from the day after the accident; the other countries count from the day when 
the accident occurred. The indicators do not cover commuting accidents. Rate calculation formula: 
total lost days/average no. of employees x 100. 
4 Includes road accidents in cases where transportation is carried out by LATAM.
5 Injury resulting in death or injury such that the worker cannot fully recover the state of health 
from before the accident within 6 months. The rate calculation uses the formula: Injuries/Average 
no. of employees X 100. This indicator began to be monitored in that way in 2020. 
6 Injury, illness, or work-related sickness with some of the following results: days of work leave, 
labor restriction or transfer to other positions, medical treatment beyond first aid; or serious injury 
or illness diagnosed by a doctor or other health care professional to those same results. The rate 
calculation uses the formula: Injuries/Average no. of employees X 100.

Integrated Report 2021Close, digital, and flexible

The client is at the center of 

LATAM's work, and the group 
works to provide the most options 

to suit their needs, such as different 
kinds of fares and services that can 
be purchased as a complement. 
The commitment to deliver the best 
experience at all stages of interaction 
– purchase, airport, after-sales, and 
on board – also involves the use of 
technology. As a result of a digital 
transformation initiated by LATAM three 
years ago, clients can manage the main 
services with just one click.

In 2021, the group reviewed all 
instances related to the customer 
experience searching for opportunities 
to apply new technologies that provide 
agility, facilitate access, and lead to 
greater satisfaction, which was achieved 
through collaborative work between 
different areas of the business. For 
LATAM, technology is part of the way of 
working, the business, and its constant 
transformations.

SOME DIGITAL 
SOLUTIONS

•  LATAM App: 

Flight information, 
date change, seat 
selection, use of 
augmented reality 
to verify that the 
carry-on baggage 
meets the boarding 
requirements

•  Automatic check-in 
(for domestic flights) 
and digital self-
check-in at kiosks or 
via the App

•  Self bag drop 

(available at 20 
airports in eight 
countries) and digital 
payment in case of 
excess baggage

•  Wi-Fi connectivity: 

Available on domestic 
flights in Brazil 
(narrow body fleet)

•  LATAM Play: 

LATAM's in-flight 
entertainment 
platform was 
expanded in 2021 
through an exclusive 
agreement with HBO 
Max to offer films and 
series to passengers

Digital tools 
halved the 
rate of contact 
center calls per 
passenger.

The early check-in 
process (automatic or 
kiosk) reduced assisted 
check-in by 36% 
throughout the year. 
In the last quarter of 
2021, only 10% of clients 
checked in at the physical 
counter, as 90% managed 
to receive their boarding 
pass automatically.

LATAM Wallet
LATAM Wallet is an electronic wallet 
that provides more proximity and 
transparency to the processing of 
refunds or ticket exchanges because 
it allows clients to maintain balances 
of money to be used with the airline; 
in addition, it provides the ability 
to serve clients who do not have 
electronic means of payment through 
digital platforms.

Data Intelligence
LATAM applies advanced analytics 
and machine learning tools to gain 
insight into its operation and clients to 
generate benefits and improvements 
in both the user experience and 
daily operational processes.  
Fraud prevention, aircraft fueling 
optimization and flight experience 
customization are some of the 
improvements that can be achieved.

As part of its data management 
policy, LATAM adheres to the strictest 
regulations such as the European or 
Brazilian one, complying with the various 
regulations known as the General Data 
Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Custom campaigns
LATAM also applies technologies in 
digital marketing to generate customized 
campaigns using machine learning 
models with important results, such as:

The main technological risks, security 
incidents, and the progress of the 
strategic cybersecurity plan are 
periodically presented to the Board and 
the Directors’ Committee by the Group's 
Chief Information Officer (CIO), Chief 
Technology Officer (CTO), and Chief 
Information Security Officer (CISO). 
Senior management continuously 
supports the cybersecurity program by 
facilitating funding and the appropriate 
organizational structure for its 
compliance and implementation.

As in previous years, there were no cases 
of consumer data violations in 2021.

•  Reduced digital advertising costs by 

USD$2.5 million

•  USD$1.5 million increase in revenue 

per campaign

•  Reduced campaign creation time from 

1 week to a matter of hours 

From the data center to the cloud
Throughout the year, the group moved 
forward with the transfer of applications 
to the cloud, a project that began in 
2017 and is expected to be completed 
in 2023. The goal is to simplify the 
ecosystem of technology platforms 
and consolidate applications for a much 
simpler and more robust infrastructure.

LATAM Airlines is the region's first Google 
Cloud partner, enabling it to work with 
service startups, support local economies 
differently, and better respond to 
services that operate from those 
platforms. In addition, migration to the 
cloud reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

REAL TIME 
INFORMATION
Each crew has a 
smartphone that 
allows them to 
perform from 
technical handling 
to understanding 
who the 
passenger is 
in-flight, trying 
to move toward 
customizing the 
travel experience.

New alliances
LATAM cargo has experienced the 
same reality, which implemented in the 
international business an online portal 
that allows clients to self-manage 
their cargo in a simple and agile way 
and have full visibility of the entire 
logistic process of their shipment. It 
is estimated that, in 2022, it will be 
enabled for domestic markets.

In this context, the group also formed 
alliances with two marketplaces: 
Webcargo and cargo.one, becoming 
the region's first air cargo carrier to 
decentralize its distribution channels. 
Thus, starting in the second quarter 
of 2022, it will be possible to book 
on LATAM cargo to and within South 
America from Europe and North America 
instantly with a few clicks on cargo.one.

It is all about offering clients more 
alternatives so they can schedule their 
shipments through LATAM cargo in 
the way they feel most comfortable, 
diversifying distribution channels and 
offering the best direct booking options.

Integrated Report 2021Customer service
Pandemic constraints resulted in an 
extra challenge in providing information 
to clients. To meet the growing demand 
for customer services, LATAM quickly 
implemented a new support tool that 
simplifies access to information when 
answering calls. With clients in mind, 
new channels were also launched:

•  WhatsApp: Provides up-to-date flight 
information and even when to board.

•  Website: A Restrictions Information 
section was created, which gathers 
the updated rules for flying in each 
country where the group operates.

LATAM Pass
The group operates the LATAM Pass 
Frequent Flyer program, with 39 
million members. Accrued points can 
be exchanged for airplane tickets or 
other services, which vary by category, 
such as cabin upgrades and baggage 
allowance. 102-2

LATAM Corporate Partner
At the end of 2021, LATAM launched 
the LATAM Corporate Partner program, 
focused on corporate customers. Each 
company enrolled in the program is 
assigned one of four categories – Classic, 
Superior, Plus, and Elite – each of which 
considers different benefit packages 
ranging from the economic ones, such 
as discounts or the accumulation of 
miles on business trips. To  facilities like 
prioritization at the airport.

One cabin, different sections

By moving forward with the cabin 
transformation project, which will reach 
the entire narrow body fleet by 2023 
and the wide body fleet by 2025, LATAM 
responds to the needs and expectations 
of different customer segments. The 
retrofits aim to improve the experience of 
passengers who require greater comfort, 
particularly on long-haul flights, and to 
offer a product with competitive fares.
In 2021, the project allowed the launch 

of the premium economy domestic fare: 
the front row seats have more room 
between them, and passengers have 
exclusive areas to store carry-on baggage, 
larger individual screens, and preferential 
boarding. The back of the plane is destined 
to optimize the cost-benefit ratio for 
passengers seeking lower prices.
By the end of 2021, the new cabins were 
available on 117 aircraft and an additional 
50 aircraft are expected by 2022.

with the implementation of the new 
cabin configurations, the new Premium 
Economy cabin on domestic flights 
and, in 2021, the return of the in-flight 
service on flights in Chile and Ecuador.  
Clients also evaluated LATAM on issues 
of safety and the teams’ friendliness. 
The NPS of the digital experience 
reached 46 points.

The NPS indicator for LATAM Cargo and 
its cargo subsidiaries was 30 points, 
up 12 points from 2020. This is mainly 
explained by clients' assessment of 
LATAM's role in fulfilling and maintaining 
operational continuity despite the 
difficulties of the health crisis.

On-time performance
LATAM maintained its commitment 
to flight punctuality and in 2021 it 
obtained 92% DEP15 punctuality 
(industry benchmark that analyzes 
flights departing up to 15 minutes after 
the scheduled time). With this result, 
2 percentage points above its 2020 
results, LATAM was recognized as the 
world's most punctual airline group by 
OAG, a global benchmark in information 
and analytics for the airline industry. 

Satisfaction
Systematically, LATAM measures clients’ 
levels of perception about the operation 
and service through the Net Promoter 
Score (NPS), which enables it to 
understand strengths, weaknesses, and 
generate improvements in its processes 
with clients in mind.

Passenger operation has specific 
measurements related to Digital 
Experience, Flight Experience and 
Contact Center. The 2021 results 
maintained the upward trend of recent 
years and reached 49 points, 9 more 
than in 2020 and a cumulative increase 
of 16 points since 2019. 3% of the 
passengers answered the survey.

The growth in NPS is due to the 
increase in punctuality rates in recent

Integrated Report 2021Supply 
   chain

8,052Suppliers make up 

the LATAM 
supply chain.

It is important to note that the main 
suppliers are partners in LATAM's 
strategy to be more sustainable and 
implement measures for recycling and 
purchasing compostable products.

Supplier management follows guidelines 
on quality and regularity of supply, 
competitive prices, legal compliance, 

and good social and environmental 
practices. Contracting is governed by the 
Corporate Procurement Policy, which is 
aligned with the group's Anti-Corruption 
Policy and establishes financial, social, 
and environmental requirements for 
partners. In addition, all contracts have 
a specific clause requiring the reporting 
of environmental incidents or damage.

More than 8 thousand suppliers 

make up the network of 
partners of the LATAM group, 
with a total volume of acquisitions of 
around US$4.60 billion in 2021. Most of 
them are concentrated in Brazil (44%) 
and Chile (15%).

The group maintains a close relationship 
with its suppliers, with transparency, 
commitment, and the search for joint 
evolution as the essential pillars. Active 
communication with them was essential 
to be able to circumvent the onslaught 
of the pandemic.

The year 2021 was marked by the 
operational recovery of the markets, 
where the collaboration that has been 
carried out with suppliers to anticipate 
demand and deliver to passengers took 
the spotlight. Communication with 
suppliers has also been very important 
to maintain pre-pandemic service 
levels and ensure the good business 
relationship while LATAM develops its 
financial reorganization plan.

At the same time, the group is 
exploring new recycling initiatives 
that contribute to meeting the target 
of zero landfill waste by 2027. This 
is the case of a project that seeks 
to reuse materials and/or items that 
are no longer used after the cabin 
renovation. As an example, we should 
mention the reutilization of seats in 
the fleet to build LATAM furniture, 
their donation for educational 
projects and/or for the benefit of 
communities, or their reintegration 
into the production chain, turning 
them into resources instead of waste.

And, in order to continuously improve 
management with suppliers, the 
group is developing a strategy to learn 
firsthand what shortcomings they may 
have, considering as a first step the 
implementation of a survey in the first 
quarter of 2022.

Joint development
Thanks to the joint work with 
suppliers, the group has been able to 
make progress in sustainability, as 
happened with the Recycle Your Trip in 
Chile and Ecuador.

In the case of Chile, the elements 
segregated on board finish their 
recycling process in the units of the 
catering provider, who removes the 
waste and deposits it at the clean points 
available in their facilities. Likewise, in 
Ecuador, it is the cleaning staff who 
collect the already segregated waste 
and transfer it to the airport recycling 
point. This is how the joint work 
between the group and the partners has 
allowed not only the fulfillment of this 
program, but has also taught them how 
to segregate the elements so that they 
can indeed be recycled–achievements 
that, without doubt, are the result of a 
shared commitment to sustainability.

Moreover, in 2021, progress was made 
on the design and development of the 
new materials to be used on board – in 
order to meet the goal of eliminating 
single-use plastics by the end of 2023 
– by projecting their implementation 
during 2022. The measures worked on 
aim for the removal of bags from rest 
elements, glasses, cutlery, and lids, 
among other materials.

Integrated Report 2021Methodology 
      and materiality

The LATAM Integrated Report 2021 

covers all LATAM companies, and 
concerns the period from January 
1 to December 31, 2021. The document 
has been prepared in accordance with 
the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) 
Standards Essential Option, following 
the Integrated Reporting Principles of 
the International Integrated Reporting 
Council (IIRC) and the legal and 
accounting standards applicable to 
annual financial performance reporting.

The contents and indicators linked 
to the GRI standards were subjected 
to external verification by Deloitte 
(see page 96). PwC audited the 
Consolidated Financial Statements 
of LATAM and its affiliates (see page 
169), which include the consolidated 
financial statements as at December 
31, 2020 and 2021, available starting 
on page 168. 102-56

The content selection took into 
account the coverage of the topics 
considered to be the most relevant 
to the group and its stakeholders, 
based on the definition of materiality 
process concluded in 2018. This 
process analyzed the main economic, 
environmental, and social impacts of 
the business and the expectations of 
the main LATAM stakeholders.

About 2,400 responses from 
employees, clients, and suppliers to 
an online survey, and the sustainability 
issues that are part of the investor 
and shareholder policies and 
publications of the group1, various 
regulatory authorities2, air industry 
representatives3, civil society 
organizations4, and sustainability 
benchmarks5  were taken into account. 
Press news on LATAM in 2017 was also 
analyzed. 102-40, 102-42, 102-43, 102-46

Next, top management prioritized 
the most relevant issues considering 
the degree of relevance and impact. 
The consolidated vision of external 
audiences and group leaders was 
validated by the CEO.

The list of topics is revalidated annually 
as part of the management and 
planning processes. A new materiality 
definition process is planned for 2022 
and will involve further consultations 
with stakeholders.

Relations with authorities

The impact is seen inside the organization, affecting all employees and third 
parties, as well as the overall society.

LATAM has implemented a wide-ranging compliance program to manage impacts and 
minimize risks.

The impact is on LATAM’s main activity; that is, the flights it operates, affecting 
passenger perceptions and the business as a whole. 

LATAM can manage a significant portion of the impacts, such as delays due to 
maintenance, air crew management,  and others. Some impacts are external to the 
organization, such as weather conditions, air traffic limitations and congestion at airports.

The main impact is seen inside LATAM, and it can affect the brand, the loyalty 
program, the implementation of the business strategy, commercial relations, 
and others.

The impact is throughout LATAM’’s operations. Human resources management 
is directly linked with corporate performance.

LATAM can adjust or restructure its strategy, even if most of the factors are beyond its 
control. The group has a policy to manage and mitigate financial  risks.

LATAM manages employee talent and fosters commitment to corporate strategy.

The main impact is on the environment and comes mainly from the use of fuel, 
which contributes to overall greenhouse gas emissions and, to a lesser extent, 
to the worsening of local air quality.

The impact is the result of the group's operations, which is the reason why LATAM 
has a strategy for monitoring and managing climate change. Moreover, the group is 
attentive to opportunities to incorporate new technologies and best practices that 
influence this issue.

The impact occurs inside LATAM and with its clients, affecting market share and 
customer spending on the group.

LATAM plays a key role in managing this impact, mainly with regard to its capacity to 
anticipate existing risks. 

The development and growth of the destination network benefits the cities 
served, generating economic development through the reduced cost of doing 
business and transporting cargo, as well as increasing tourism.

LATAM plays a key role in managing and monitoring the factors that may influence 
this issue.

The impact from a change in the regulatory environment is seen inside the 
organization, affecting all the operations, and outside the organization, affecting 
the sector as a whole.

LATAM’s role is to identify and monitor how decisions by public authorities may affect 
the development of the group and the airline industry, as well as connectivity in a 
country or region, and clients.

Sustainable tourism 

The impact is on the destinations served by LATAM.

The capacity to manage this issue varies in accordance with LATAM’s share in the 
total passenger traffic to a given location. The group strives to play an active role in 
promoting a balance between tourism and the preservation of the local culture and 
environment.

There were no relevant cases on the matter. We should note that 
LATAM uses the definition of corruption from the (Foreign Corrupt 
Practices Act, FCPA), according to which an act of corruption 
is incurred when there is an offer, promise, or authorization of 
payment, or a payment in fact, made to a public official, with the 
aim to induce the receiver to abuse their position, regardless of 
whether the corrupt act succeeds in its purpose.

There were no significant fines; that is, worth over US$50 million, 
or that could paralyze the operation or affect the group's image.

INDEPENDENT REVISION REPORT OF LATAM 
INTEGRATED REPORT 2021   

Mr. Juan José Toha 
Director de Asuntos Corporativos y Sostenibilidad 
Latam Airlines Group 

the Report, as well as in the application of analytic procedures and 
verification tests, which are described in the following items:  

√  Meeting with Sustainability management. 

√ 

√ 

√ 

Requirements and review of evidence with the areas participating in 
the preparation of the 2021 Integrated Report. 

Analysis of the adherence of the contents of the 2021 Integrated 
Report to the GRI Standards: Core option, and review of the indicators 
included in the report in order to verify that they are aligned with the 
protocols established in the Standards, and whether the fact that 
some indicators are not applicable or not material is justified. 

Verification, through tests of quantitative and qualitative information 
corresponding to the GRI Standards indicators included in the 2021 
Report, and its adequate gathering from the data provided by LATAM 
information sources. 

Of our consideration: 

Conclusions  

√   The assurance process was based on the indicators established in the 
materiality process carried out by LATAM. Once those indicators were 
identified, prioritized, and validated, they were included in the report. The 
reported and verified indicators appear in the following table: 

Improvement Opportunities Report 

In addition to this letter, Deloitte is presenting to LATAM a 
special report including improvement opportunities to reinforce 
management aspects, and the Company's ability to draft future 
Integrated Reports. 

LATAM Management and Deloitte Responsibilities 

The drafting of the 2021 Integrated Report, as well as its contents 
are under LATAM responsibility, which is in charge of the definition, 
adaptation, and maintenance of the management and internal 
control systems from who the information is obtained. 

Our responsibility is to issue an independent report based on the 
procedures applied in our review. 

This report has been prepared exclusively by LATAM's request, in 
accordance with the terms established in the Engagement Letter. 

We have developed our work according to the standards of 
Independence established in the Code of Ethics of the IFAC. 

The conclusions of the verification made by Deloitte apply to the latest 
version of the LATAM Integrated Report received on march 28, 2022. 

We have reviewed the following aspects of the LATAM Integrated 
Report 2021: 

Scope  
Limited assurance engagement of the adherence of the contents and 
indicators included in the 2021 Integrated Report to the Global Reporting 
Initiative (GRI) Standards, regarding the organization’s profile and material 
indicators arising from the materiality process that the Company 
carried out following said Standards related to the economic, social, and 
environmental dimensions. 

Standards and Assurance Process 
We have carried out our task in accordance with the guidelines of the 
International Standard on Assurance Engagements Other than Audits 
or Reviews of Historical Financial Information (ISAE 3000) issued by 
the International Auditing and Assurance Standard Board (IAASB) of 
the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). 
Our review has consisted in an inquiry process involving different LATAM 
units and management areas, involved in the process of developing 

102-1  102-2  102-3  102-4  102-5  102-6  102-7  102-8  102-9  102-10 

102-11  102-12  102-13  102-14  102-15  102-16  102-17  102-18  102-40  102-41 

102-42  102-43  102-44  102-45  102-46  102-47  102-48  102-49  102-50  102-51 

102-52  102-53  102-54  102-55  102-56  103-1  103-2  103-3  201-2  203-1 

The scope of a limited assurance engagement is essentially inferior 
to a reasonable assurance engagement, thus, we are not hereby 
providing opinion about the 2021 LATAM Integrated Report. 

203-2  205-2  205-3  206-1  302-1  302-3  302-4  303-3  305-1  305-2

403-7  403-9  415-1  417-3  419-1 

√  Regarding the verified indicators, we can say that no aspect has arisen 
to lead us to believe that the Integrated Report 2021 LATAM has not 
been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards in those areas 
identified in the scope.

2022, the companies TEP Chile S.A. and TEP 
Aeronautica S.A., part of the Amaro Group, sold 
off the last shares they held in the Company, 
respectively, relinquishing their stake in LATAM.

Governance and Management of 
LATAM Airlines Group
We refer to the shareholders’ agreement 
among the Cueto Group and the Amaro 
Group (acting through TEP Chile), which 
sets forth the parties’ agreement 
concerning the governance, management 
and operation of the LATAM Airlines 
Group, and voting and transfer of 
their respective LATAM Airlines Group 
common shares and TEP Chile’s voting 
shares of Holdco I, as the “Cueto Amaro 
shareholders’ agreement.” We refer to 
the shareholders’ agreement between 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and TEP 
Chile, which sets forth agreements 
concerning the governance, management 
and operation of the LATAM Airlines 
Group, as the “LATAM Airlines Group-
TEP shareholders’ agreement.” The 
Cueto Amaro shareholders’ agreement 
and the LATAM Airlines Group-TEP 
shareholders’ agreement set forth the 
parties’ agreement on the governance 
and management of the LATAM Airlines 
Group following the effective time.

This section describes the key provisions 
of the Cueto Amaro shareholders’ 
agreement and the LATAM Airlines 
Group-TEP shareholders’ agreement. 
The description of the LATAM Airlines 
Group-TEP shareholders’ agreement 
summarized below and elsewhere in this 
annual report on Form 20-F is qualified 

in its entirety by reference to the full 
text of such shareholders’ agreements, 
which has been filed as exhibit to this 
annual report on Form 20-F.

Composition of the  
LATAM Airlines Group Board
Since April 2017, there are no restrictions 
in the Cueto Amaro shareholders’ 
agreement nor in the LATAM Airlines 
Group-TEP shareholders’ agreement 
regarding the composition of LATAM 
Airlines Group’s board of directors. 
Therefore, once elected in accordance 
with Chilean regulation, members of the 
LATAM Airlines Group’s board of directors 
have the right to appoint any member as 
the chairman of LATAM Airlines Group’s 
board of directors, from time to time, 
in accordance with the LATAM Airlines 
Group’s by-laws. Accordingly, on May, 
2017, on May 14, 2019 and on April, 
30, 2020, Mr. Ignacio Cueto Plaza was 
elected as President of the Board.

On April 1, 2020 and on April 17, 2020 
respectively Mr. Juan José Cueto Plaza 
and Mr. Carlos Heller Solari resigned 
from the LATAM Airlines Group’s board of 
directors, and as their replacements, the 
board of directors appointed Mr. Enrique 
Cueto Plaza and Mr. Enrique Ostalé 
Cambiaso respectively. Both of them 
were elected by the shareholders on the 
Ordinary Meeting of April, 30th 2020.

Recently, on September 7, 2020 Mr. Giles 
Agutter resigned from the LATAM Airline’s 
Group’s board of directors, and as his 
replacement, the board of directors 
appointed Mr. Alexander D. Wilcox on 
October 6, 2020 until the next Ordinary 
Shareholders’ Meeting of LATAM which 
should take place during the first quarter 
of 2021, instance in which the election 
and renewal of the whole Board of 
Directors will take place.

Management of the  
LATAM Airlines Group
On September 10, 2019, LATAM 
announced that Enrique Cueto Plaza, 
Chief Executive Officer of LATAM (“CEO 
LATAM”) since June 2012, who left this 
position as of March 31, 2020, was 
being replaced as of such date by Mr. 
Roberto Alvo, current Chief Commercial 
Officer of LATAM. The CEO LATAM is the 
highest ranked officer of LATAM Airlines 
Group and reports directly to the LATAM 
board of directors. The CEO LATAM is 
charged with the general supervision, 
direction and control of the business of 
the LATAM Airlines Group and certain 
other responsibilities set forth in the 
LATAM Airlines Group-TEP shareholders’ 
agreement. After any departure of 
the current CEO LATAM, our board of 
directors will select his or her successor 
after receiving the recommendation of 
the Leadership Committee.

Following the combination of LAN and 
TAM in June 2012, TAM S.A. continues 
to exist as a subsidiary of Holdco I and 
a subsidiary of LATAM, and LAN Airlines 
S.A. has been redesignated as “LATAM 
Airlines Group S.A.”

Prior to the consummation of the 
business combination, LATAM Airlines 
Group, the Cueto Group, today a major 
shareholder, entered into several 
shareholders’ agreements with TAM, the 
Amaro Group (acting through TEP Chile) 
and Holdco I, establishing agreements 
and restrictions relating to corporate 
governance in an attempt to balance 
LATAM Airlines Group’s interests, as the 
owner of substantially all of the economic 
rights in TAM, and those of the Amaro 
Group by prohibiting the taking of certain 
specified material corporate actions and 
decisions without prior supermajority 
approval of the shareholders and/or the 
board of directors of Holdco I or TAM. 
These shareholders’ agreements also set 
forth the parties’ agreement regarding 
the governance and management of 
the LATAM Airlines Group following the 
consummation of the combination of 
LAN and TAM.

agreement. The description of the 
Holdco I shareholders’ agreement and 
the TAM shareholders’ agreement 
summarized below and elsewhere in 
this annual report on Form 20-F are 
qualified in their entirety by reference 
to the full text of the aforementioned 
shareholders’ agreements, which have 
been filed as exhibits to this annual 
report on Form 20-F.

Composition of the Holdco I  
and TAM Boards
The Holdco I shareholders’ agreement 
and TAM shareholders’ agreement 
generally provide for identical boards of 
directors and the same chief executive 
officer at Holdco I and TAM, with LATAM 
appointing two directors and TEP Chile 
appointing four directors (including the 
chairman of the board of directors).

The Cueto Amaro shareholders’ 
agreement provides that the persons 
elected by or on behalf of the Cueto 
Group or the Amaro Group to our board of 
directors must also serve on the boards of 
directors of both Holdco I and TAM.

Management of Holdco I and TAM
The day-to-day business and affairs 
of Holdco I will be managed by the 
TAM Group CEO under the oversight of 
the board of directors of Holdco I. The 
day-to-day business and affairs of TAM 

will be managed by the TAM Diretoria 
under the oversight of the board of 
directors of TAM. The TAM Diretoria will 
be comprised of the TAM Group CEO, 
the TAM CFO, the TAM COO and the TAM 
CCO, currently the CEO of TAM, will be 
the initial CEO of Holdco I and TAM, or 
the “TAM Group CEO” and any successor 
CEO will be selected by LATAM from 
three candidates proposed by TEP Chile. 
The TAM Group CEO will have general 
supervision, direction and control of the 
business and operations of the TAM Group 
(other than the international passenger 
business of the LATAM Airlines Group) and 
will carry out all orders and resolutions of 
the board of directors of TAM. The initial 
chief financial officer of TAM, or the “TAM 
CFO,” has been jointly selected by LATAM 
and TEP Chile and any successor CFO 
will be selected by TEP Chile from three 
candidates proposed by LATAM. The chief 
operating officer of TAM, or the “TAM 
COO,” and chief commercial officer of TAM, 
or the “TAM CCO,” will be jointly selected 
and recommended to the TAM board of 
directors by the TAM Group CEO and TAM 
CFO and approved by the TAM board of 
directors. These shareholders’ agreements 
also regulate the composition of the 
boards of directors of subsidiaries of TAM.

Supermajority Actions
Certain actions by Holdco I or TAM require 
supermajority approval by the board of 
directors or the shareholders of Holdco I or 
TAM which effectively require the approval 
of both LATAM and TEP Chile before the 
specified actions can be taken. Actions 
that require supermajority approval of 
the Holdco I board of directors or the TAM 
board of directors include, as applicable:

•   to approve the annual budget and 
business plan and the multi-year 
business (which we refer to collectively 
as the “approved plans”), as well as 
any amendments to these plans;

•   to take or agree to take any action 
which causes, or will reasonably 
cause, individually, or in the 
aggregate, any capital, operating or

and its subsidiaries to be greater than 
(i) the lesser of 1% of revenue or 10% 
of profit under the approved plans, 
with respect to actions affecting the 
profit and loss statement, or (ii) the 
lesser of 2% of assets or 10% of cash 
and cash equivalents (as defined by 
IFRS) as set forth in the approved plan 
then in effect, with respect to actions 
affecting the cash flow statement;

continues to be headquartered in São 
Paulo, Brazil.

•   to create, dispose of or admit new 
shareholders to any subsidiary of 

The head office of the LATAM Airlines 
Group continues to be located in

Governance and Management  
of Holdco I and TAM
We refer to the shareholders’ agreement 
between us, Holdco I and TEP Chile, which 
sets forth our agreement concerning the 
governance, management and operation 
of Holdco I, and voting and transfer of 
voting shares of Holdco I, as the “Holdco 
I shareholders’ agreement” and to the 
shareholders’ agreement between us, 
Holdco I, TAM and TEP Chile, which sets 
forth our agreement concerning the 
governance, management and operation 
of TAM and its subsidiaries following the 
effective time, as the “TAM shareholders’ 
agreement.” The Holdco I shareholders’ 
agreement and the TAM shareholders’ 
agreement set forth the parties’ agreement 
on the governance and management 
of Holdco I, TAM and its subsidiaries 
(collectively, the “TAM Group”) following 
the combination of LAN and TAM.

SHAREHOLDERS’ AGREEMENTS

•   the parties agree to maintain the size 
of the LATAM Airlines Group board of 
directors at a total of nine directors 
and to maintain the quorum required 
for action by the LATAM Airlines Group 
board of directors at a majority of the 
total number of directors of the LATAM 
Airlines Group board of directors; and

•   if, after good faith efforts to reach an 
agreement with respect to any action 
that requires supermajority approval 
under Chilean law and a mediation 
period, the parties do not reach such 
an agreement, then TEP Chile has 
agreed to vote its shares on such 
supermajority matter as directed by 
the Cueto Group, which we refer to as 
a “directed vote.”

The parties to the Holdco I shareholder’s 
agreement and TAM shareholders 
agreement have agreed to vote 
their voting shares of Holdco I and 
shares of TAM so as to give effect 
to the agreements with respect to 
representation on the TAM board of 
directors discussed above.

Transfer Restrictions
Pursuant to the Cueto Amaro 
shareholders’ agreement, the Cueto 
Group and TEP Chile are subject to 
certain restrictions on sales, transfers 
and pledges of the LATAM Airlines 

Group common shares and (in the case 
of TEP Chile only) the voting shares of 
Holdco I beneficially owned by them. 
Except for a limited amount of LATAM 
Airlines Group common shares, neither 
the Cueto Group nor TEP Chile were 
permitted to sell any of their LATAM 
Airlines Group common shares, and 
TEP Chile was not permitted to sell 
its voting shares of Holdco I, until 
June 2015. Since then, sales of LATAM 
Airlines Group common shares by 
either party are permitted, subject to 
(i) certain limitations on the volume 
and frequency of such sales and (ii) in 
the case of TEP Chile only, TEP Chile 
satisfying certain minimum ownership 
requirements. On or after December 
31, 2021, TEP Chile may sell all of 
its LATAM Airlines Group common 
shares and voting shares of Holdco I 
as a block, subject to (x) approval of 
the transferee by the LATAM board of 
directors, (y) the condition that the sale 
not have an adverse effect, and (z) a 
right of first offer in favor of the Cueto 
Group, which we refer to collectively 
as “block sale provisions.” An “adverse 
effect” is defined in the Cueto Amaro 
shareholder’s agreement to mean a 
material adverse effect on our and 
Holdco I’s ability to own or receive the 
full benefits of ownership of TAM and 
its subsidiaries or the ability of TAM and 
its subsidiaries to operate their airline 

businesses worldwide. The Cueto Group 
has agreed to transfer any voting shares 
of Holdco I acquired pursuant to such 
right of first offer to LATAM for the same 
consideration paid for such shares.

In addition, TEP Chile may sell all LATAM 
Airlines Group common shares and 
voting shares of Holdco I beneficially 
owned by it as a block, subject to 
satisfaction of the block sale provisions, 
if a release event (as described below) 
occurs or if TEP Chile is required to 
make two or more directed votes during 
any 24-month period at two meetings 
(consecutive or not) of the shareholders 
of LATAM Airlines Group held at least 
12 months apart and LATAM Airlines 
Group has not yet fully exercised its 
conversion option described below. A 
“release event” will occur if (i) a capital 
increase of LATAM Airlines Group occurs, 
(ii) TEP Chile does not fully exercise the 
preemptive rights granted to it under 
applicable law in Chile with respect 
to such capital increase in respect 
of all of its restricted LATAM Airlines 
Group common shares, and (iii) after 
such capital increase is completed, 
the individual designated by TEP Chile 
for election to the board of directors 
of LATAM Airlines Group with the 
assistance of the Cueto Group is not 
elected to the board of directors of 
LATAM Airlines Group.

Voting Agreements, Transfers and 
Other Arrangements

Voting Agreements
The Cueto Group and TEP Chile 
have agreed in the Cueto Amaro 
shareholder’s agreement to vote 
their respective LATAM Airlines Group 
common shares as follows:

•   the parties agree to vote their LATAM 
Airlines Group common shares to 
assist the other parties in removing 
and replacing the directors such other 
parties elected to the LATAM Airlines 
Group board of directors;

•   the parties agree to consult with 

one another and use their good faith 
efforts to reach an agreement on all 
actions (other than actions requiring 
supermajority approval under Chilean 
law) to be taken by the LATAM board 
of directors or the LATAM shareholders, 
and if unable to reach such agreement, 
to follow the proposal made by our 
board of directors;

I beneficially owned by us into shares 
of voting stock of Holdco I and such 
conversion would not have an adverse 
effect but we have not fully exercised 
such right within a specified period, then 
the controlling shareholders of TAM 
will have the right to put their shares 
of voting stock of Holdco I to us for an 
amount equal to the sale consideration.

Acquisitions of TAM Stock
The parties have agreed that all 
acquisitions of TAM common shares 
by LATAM Airlines Group, Holdco I, TAM 
or any of their respective subsidiaries 
from and after the effective time of the 
combination will be made by Holdco I.

parties and for transfers to affiliates, 
in each case under certain limited 
circumstances.

Restriction on transfer of TAM shares
LATAM agreed in the Holdco I 
shareholders’ agreement not to sell or 
transfer any shares of TAM stock to any 
person (other than our affiliates) at any 
time when TEP Chile owns any voting 
shares of Holdco I. However, LATAM will 
have the right to effect such a sale or 
transfer if, at the same time as such 
sale or transfer, LATAM (or its assignee) 
acquires all the voting shares of Holdco 
I beneficially owned by TEP Chile for 
an amount equal to TEP Chile’s then 
current tax basis in such shares and any 
costs TEP Chile is required to incur to 
effect such sale or transfer. TEP Chile 
has irrevocably granted us the assignable 
right to purchase all of the voting shares 
of Holdco I beneficially owned by TEP 
Chile in connection with any such sale.

Conversion Option
Pursuant to the Cueto Amaro 
shareholders’ agreement and the Holdco 
I shareholders’ agreement, we have the 
unilateral right to convert our shares 
of non-voting stock of Holdco I into 
shares of voting stock of Holdco I to the 
maximum extent allowed under law and 
to increase our representation on the 
TAM and Holdco I boards of directors 

if and when permitted in accordance 
with foreign ownership control laws in 
Brazil and other applicable laws if the 
conversion would not have an adverse 
effect. In February 2019, we completed 
the procedures for the exchange of 
shares of Holdco I S.A., through which 
LATAM Airlines Group SA increased its 
indirect participation in TAM S.A., from 
48.99% to 51.04%. This transaction was 
undertaken pursuant to the Provisional 
Measure 863/2018 of December 13, 
2018, through which the participation of 
up to 100% of foreign capital in airlines 
in Brazil is permitted.

On or after December 31, 2021, and 
after we have fully converted all of our 
shares of non-voting stock of Holdco I 
into shares of voting stock of Holdco I 
as permitted by Brazilian law and other 
applicable laws, we will have the right 
to purchase all of the voting shares 
of Holdco I held by the controlling 
shareholders of TAM for an amount 
equal to their then current tax basis in 
such shares and any costs incurred by 
them to effect such sale, which amount 
we refer to as the “sale consideration.” 
If we do not timely exercise our right 
to purchase these shares or if, after 
December 31, 2021, we have the right 
under applicable law in Brazil and other 
applicable law to fully convert all the 
shares of non-voting stock of Holdco 

In addition, after December 31, 2021 
and after the occurrence of the full 
ownership trigger date TEP Chile may 
sell all or any portion of its LATAM 
Airlines Group common shares, subject 
to (x) a right of first offer in favor of the 
LATAM Controlling Shareholders and 
(y) the restrictions on sales of LATAM 
Airlines Group common shares more 
than once in a 12-month period.

In addition, after December 31, 2021 
and after the occurrence of the full 
ownership trigger date, TEP Chile 
may sell all or any portion of its 
LATAM Airlines Group common shares, 
subject to (x) a right of first offer in 
favor of the Cueto Group and (y) the 
restrictions on sales of LATAM Airlines 
Group common shares more than once 
in a 12-month period.

The Cueto Amaro shareholders 
agreement provides certain exceptions 
to these restrictions on transfer for 
certain pledges of LATAM Airlines

occasions to exercise its powers and 
fulfill its duties under article 50 bis of 
Law No. 18,046 on Limited Corporations, 
as well as reviewing or evaluating those 
other issues that the Board of Directors 
deemed necessary, which in a year 
that continues to be marked mainly 
by the COVID-19 pandemic and the 
Chapter 11 proceeding in the United 
States (hereinafter “Chapter 11”), they 
focused mostly on issues related to the 
Company’s restructuring plan with a view 
to exiting Chapter 11.

Below, is a report of the main issues 
discussed.

sheet and financial statements
The Board Committee examined and 
reviewed the Company’s financial

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BOARD 
COMMITTEE’S ADMINISTRATION

III. DIRECTORS COMMITTEE 
COMPENSATION AND SPENDING
The Company’s Ordinary Shareholders’ 
Meeting held on April 20, 2021, 
agreed that each member of the 
Directors’ Committee should receive 
the equivalent to 80 Unidades de 
Fomento (UF) as a monthly allowance 
for attending the Directors’ Committee 
meetings, regardless the number 
of meetings. This proposal meant 
changing the remuneration that 
was approved for the previous year, 
whereby the Directors who are 
members of the Directors’ Committee 
will be paid per session they attend.

For purposes of the operation of the 
Directors’ Committee and its advisors, 
Law number 18,046 on Limited 
Corporations states that their spending 
budget must at least be equal to the 
annual sum of compensation of the 
Committee members. In this sense, 
said Ordinary Shareholders’ Meeting 
approved maintaining the same budget 
approved in past years of 2,880 UF. 
During 2021, this spending budget was 
not used.

IV. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE 
DIRECTORS’ COMMITTEE

IV.1 Proposal for Appointment of 
External Auditors.

section eight, paragraph two, of Law No. 
18,046 on Limited Corporations, they 
agreed to propose to the Company’s 
Board of Directors, based on an 
analysis of the work of the external 
auditors and the 2020 performance 
evaluation of the audit firms presented 
by Management, to continue with the 
external auditors already elected and 
ratified at the Company’s Ordinary 
Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 
30, 2020, namely PWC for the parent 
company, EY for Brazil, and PWC for the 
SSC (other Spanish-speaking countries 
where LATAM operates), considering, 
moreover, that the contract signed with 
PWC as a result of the tender for the 
External Audit services, held in 2018 by 
the Company, is currently in force and 
that it includes the rendering of these 
services for the periods 2019, 2020, and 
2021. The above proposal was approved 
by the Company’s Shareholders’ Meeting 
held on April 20, 2021.

IV.2 Proposal of Private Risk-Rating 
Agencies
In its meeting held on March 8, 2021,

REGULATION

airport security required under the 
Aviation Security Act is provided in part 
by a US$5.60 per segment passenger 
security fee, subject to a US$11.20 
per round-trip cap; however, airlines 
are responsible for costs in excess 
of this fee. Implementation of the 
requirements of the Aviation Security 
Act has resulted in increased costs for 
airlines and their passengers. Since the 
events of September 11, 2001, the 
United States Congress has mandated, 
and the TSA has implemented,

requirements that have imposed and will 
continue to impose burdens on airlines, 
passengers and shippers.

the international aviation industry. In the 
absence of an applicable local regulation 
concerning safety or maintenance, 
the countries where we operate have 
incorporated by reference the majority 
of the ICAO’s technical standards. 
We believe that we are in material 
compliance with all such relevant 
technical standards.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND NOISE 
REGULATION
There are no material environmental 
regulations or controls in the 
jurisdictions in which we operate 
imposed upon airlines, applicable to 
aircraft, or that otherwise affect us, 
except for environmental laws and 
regulations of general applicability.

In Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, 
Ecuador, Peru and the United States, 
aircraft must comply with certain 
noise restrictions. LATAM’s aircraft 
substantially comply with all such 
restrictions. Chilean authorities are 
planning to pass a noise-related 
regulation governing aircraft that 
fly to and within Chile, observing 
a standard known as “Stage 3 
requirements.” Our fleet already 
complies with such standards, so we 
do not believe that enactment of the 
proposed standards would impose a 
material burden on us.

In 2016, the ICAO adopted a resolution 
creating the Carbon Offsetting and 
Reduction Scheme for International 
Aviation (CORSIA), providing a 
framework for a global market-based 
measure to stabilize CO2 emissions 
in international civil aviation (i.e., 
civil aviation flights that depart in 
one country and arrive in a different 
country). With the adoption of this 
framework, the aviation industry 
became the first industry to achieve 
an agreement with respect to its CO2 
emissions. The scheme, which defines 
a unified standard to regulate CO2 
emissions in international flights, will be 
implemented in various phases by ICAO 
member states starting in 2021 (with 
the voluntary member states).

SAFETY AND SECURITY
Our operations are subject to the 
jurisdiction of various agencies in each 
of the countries where we operate, 
which set standards and requirements 
for the operation of aircraft and its 
maintenance.

In the United States, the Aviation and 
Transportation Security Act requires, 
among other things, the implementation 
of certain security measures by airlines 
and airports, such as the requirement 
that all passenger bags be screened 
for explosives. Funding for airline and

REGULATION

Below are some specific aeronautical 
regulations related to route rights and 
pricing policy in the countries where 
we operate.

CHILE
Aeronautical Regulation
Both the DGAC and the Junta de 
Aeronáutica Civil (“JAC”) oversee 
and regulate the Chilean aviation 
industry. The DGAC reports directly 
to the Chilean Air Force and is 
responsible for supervising compliance 
with Chilean laws and regulations 
relating to air navigation. The JAC is 
the Chilean civil aviation authority. 
Primarily on the basis of Decree Law 
nº 2.564, which regulates commercial 
aviation, the JAC establishes the main 
commercial policies for the aviation 
industry in Chile and regulates the 
assignment of international routes 
and the compliance with certain 
insurance requirements, while the 
DGAC regulates flight operations, 
including personnel, aircraft and 
security standards, air traffic control 
and airport management. We have 
obtained and maintain the necessary 
authority from the Chilean government 
to conduct flight operations, including 
authorization certificates from the JAC 
and technical operative certificates 
from the DGAC, the continuation 
of which is subject to the ongoing 

compliance with applicable statutes, 
rules and regulations pertaining to the 
airline industry, including any rules and 
regulations that may be adopted in 
the future.

of Economics of Chile announced 
a unilateral opening of the Chilean 
domestic skies. This was confirmed in 
November 2013, and has been in force 
since that date.

Chile is a contracting state, as well as 
a permanent member, of the ICAO. 
Chilean authorities have incorporated 
ICAO’s technical standards for the 
international aviation industry 
into Chilean laws and regulations. 
In the absence of an applicable 
Chilean regulation concerning safety 
or maintenance, the DGAC has 
incorporated by reference the majority 
of the ICAO’s technical standards. 
We believe that we are in material 
compliance with all such relevant 
technical standards.

International Routes: As an airline 
providing services on international 
routes, LATAM is also subject to a 
variety of bilateral civil air transportation 
agreements that provide for the 
exchange of air traffic rights between 
Chile and various other countries. There 
can be no assurance that existing 
bilateral agreements between Chile and 
foreign governments will continue, and a 
modification, suspension or revocation 
of one or more bilateral treaties could 
have a material adverse effect on our 
operations and financial results.

Route Rights
Domestic Routes: Chilean airlines are 
not required to obtain permits in order 
to carry passengers or cargo on any 
domestic routes, but only to comply 
with the technical and insurance 
requirements established respectively 
by the DGAC and the JAC. There are no 
regulatory barriers that would prevent 
a foreign airline from creating a Chilean 
subsidiary and entering the Chilean 
domestic market using that subsidiary. 
On January 18, 2012 the Secretary 
of Transportation and the Secretary 

International route rights, as well as the 
corresponding landing rights, are derived 
from a variety of air transportation 
agreements negotiated between Chile 
and foreign governments. Under such 
agreements, the government of one 
country grants the government of 
another country the right to designate 
one or more of its domestic airlines to 
operate scheduled services to certain 
destinations of the former and, in 
certain cases, to further connect to 
third-country destinations. In Chile, 
when additional route frequencies 

to and from foreign cities become 
available, any eligible airline may apply 
to obtain them. If there is more than 
one applicant for a route frequency,  
the JAC awards it through a public 
auction for a period of five years.  
The JAC grants route frequencies subject 
to the condition that the recipient airline 
operates them on a permanent basis. If 
an airline fails to operate a route for a 
period of six months or more, the JAC 
may terminate its rights to that route. 
International route frequencies are 
freely transferable. In the past, we have 
generally paid only nominal amounts for 
international route frequencies obtained 
in uncontested auctions.

Airfare Pricing Policy
Chilean airlines are permitted to 
establish their own domestic and 
international fares without government 
regulation. For more information, see 
“—Antitrust Regulation” below. In 1997, 
the Antitrust Commission approved 
and imposed a specific self-regulatory 
fare plan for our domestic operations 
in Chile consistent with the Antitrust 
Commission’s directive to maintain a 
competitive environment. According 
to this plan, we must file notice with 
the JAC of any increase or decrease 
in standard fares on routes deemed 
“non-competitive” by the JAC and any 
decrease in fares on “competitive”

routes at least 20 days in advance. We 
must file notice with the JAC of any 
increase in fares on “competitive” routes 
at least 10 days in advance. In addition, 
the Chilean authorities now require that 
we justify any modification that we 
make to our fares on non-competitive 
routes. We must also ensure that our 
average yields on a non-competitive 
route are not higher than those on 
competitive routes of similar distance.

PERU
Aeronautical Regulation
The Peruvian Dirección General de 
Aeronáutica Civil (the “PDGAC”) 
oversees and regulates the Peruvian 
aviation industry. The PDGAC reports 
directly to the Ministry of Transportation 
and Communications and is responsible 
for supervising compliance with 
Peruvian laws and regulations relating 
to air navigation. In addition, the 
PDGAC regulates the assignment of 
national and international routes, and 
the compliance with certain insurance 
requirements, and it regulates flight 
operations, including personnel, aircraft 
and security standards, air traffic 
control and airport management. 
We have obtained and maintain the 
necessary authorizations from the 
Peruvian government to conduct flight 
operations, including authorization and 
technical operative certificates, the 

continuation of which is subject to the 
ongoing compliance with applicable 
statutes, rules and regulations 
pertaining to the airline industry, 
including any rules and regulations that 
may be adopted in the future.

Peru is a contracting state and a 
permanent member of the ICAO. The 
ICAO establishes technical standards for 
the international aviation industry, which 
Peruvian authorities have incorporated 
into Peruvian laws and regulations. In 
the absence of an applicable Peruvian 
regulation concerning safety or 
maintenance, the PDGAC has incorporated 
by reference the majority of the ICAO’s 
technical standards. We believe that 
we are in material compliance with all 
relevant technical standards.

Route Rights
Domestic Routes: Peruvian airlines are 
required to obtain permits in connection 
with carrying passengers or cargo on any 
domestic routes and to comply with the 
technical requirements established by 
the PDGAC. Non-Peruvian airlines are 
not permitted to provide domestic air 
service between destinations in Peru.

International Routes: As an airline 
providing services on international 
routes, LATAM Airlines Peru is also 
subject to a variety of bilateral civil 

air transport agreements that provide 
for the exchange of air traffic rights 
between Peru and various other 
countries. There can be no assurance 
that existing bilateral agreements 
between Peru and foreign governments 
will continue, and a modification, 
suspension or revocation of one or more 
bilateral treaties could have a material 
adverse effect on our operations and 
financial results.

International route rights, as well as 
the corresponding landing rights, are 
derived from a variety of air transport 
agreements negotiated between Peru 
and foreign governments. Under such 
agreements, the government of one 
country grants the government of 
another country the right to designate 
one or more of its domestic airlines to 
operate scheduled services to certain 
destinations of the former and, in 
certain cases, to further connect to 
third-country destinations. In Peru, 
when additional route frequencies 
to and from foreign cities become 
available, any eligible airline may apply 
to obtain them. If there is more than 
one applicant for a route frequency, 
the PDGAC awards it through a public 
auction for a period of four years. The 
PDGAC grants route frequencies subject 
to the condition that the recipient airline 
operates them on a permanent basis. If 

an airline fails to operate a route for a 
period of 90 days or more, the PDGAC 
may terminate its rights to that route. 
In recent years the PDGAC has revoked 
the unused route frequencies of several 
Peruvian operators.

ECUADOR
Aeronautical Regulation
There are two institutions that control 
commercial aviation on behalf of 
the State: (i) The Consejo Nacional 
de Aviación Civil (the “CNAC”), which 
directs aviation policy; and (ii)  ( the 
“DGAC”), which is a technical regulatory 
and control agency. The CNAC 
issues operating permits and grants 
operating concessions to national and 
international airlines. It also issues 
opinions on bilateral and multilateral 
air transportation treaties, allocates 
routes and traffic rights, and approves 
joint operating agreements such as wet 
leases and shared codes.

Fundamentally, the DGAC is responsible for:

•  ensuring that the national standards 

and technical regulations and 
international ICAO standards and 
regulations are observed;

•  keeping records on insurance, 
airworthiness and licenses of 
Ecuadorian civil aircraft;

Appendices

119

Integrated Report 2021Our business
INDUSTRY CONTEXT

REGULATION

•  maintaining the National Aircraft 

Registry;

•  issuing licenses to crews;

•  controlling air traffic control inside 

domestic air space;

•  approving shared codes; and 

•  modifying operations permits.

The DGAC also must comply with the 
standards and recommended methods 
of ICAO since Ecuador is a signatory of 
the 1944 Chicago Convention.

Route Rights
Domestic Routes: Airlines must obtain 
authorization from CNAC (an operating 
permit or concession) to provide air 
transportation. For domestic operations, 
only companies incorporated in Ecuador 
can operate locally, and only Ecuadorian-
licensed aircraft and dry leases are 
authorized to operate domestically.

International Routes: Permits for 
international operations are based on 
air transportation treaties signed by 
Ecuador or, otherwise, the principle 
of reciprocity is applied. All airlines 
doing business in Latin America that 
are incorporated in countries that are 
members of the Comunidad Andina de 

Naciones (the Andean Community, or 
“CAN”) obtain their traffic rights on the 
basis of decisions currently in force under 
that regime, in particular decision N°582 
of 2004, which guarantee free access 
to markets, with no type of restriction 
except technical considerations.

Airfare Pricing Policy
On October 13, 2011, The Statutory Law 
of Regulation and Control of the Market 
Power was passed with a purpose 
to avoid, prevent, correct, eliminate 
and sanction the abuse of economic 
operators with market power, as well 
as to sanction restrictive, disloyal and 
agreements involving collusive practices. 
This Law creates a new public entity as 
the maximum authority of application 
and establishes the procedures of 
investigation and the applicable 
sanctions, which are severe. Rates are 
not regulated and are subject only to 
registration. In general, bilateral treaties 
regarding air transportation provide 
for airfares to be regulated by the 
regulation of the country of origin.

BRAZIL
Aeronautical Regulation
The Brazilian aviation industry is 
regulated and overseen by the ANAC. 
The ANAC reports directly to the 
Civil Aviation Secretary, which is 
subordinated by the Federal Executive 

Power of this country. Primarily on the 
basis of Law nº 11.182/2005, the ANAC 
was created to regulate commercial 
aviation, air navigation, the assignment 
of domestic and international routes, 
compliance with certain insurance 
requirements, flight operations, 
including personnel, aircraft and security 
standards, air traffic control, in this case 
sharing its activities and responsibilities 
with the Departamento de Controle 
do Espaço Aéreo (Department of 
Airspace Control or “DECEA”), which is 
a public secretary also subordinated 
to the Brazilian Defense Ministry, 
and airport management, in this last 
case sharing responsibilities with the 
Empresa Brasileira de Infra-Estrutura 
Aeroportuária (the Brazilian Airport 
Infrastructure Company, or “INFRAERO”), 
a public company that was created by 
Law nº 5862/72, and is responsible for 
administrating, operating and exploring 
Brazilian airports industrially and 
commercially (with the exception of 
airports granted to private initiative).

We have obtained and maintain the 
necessary authority from the Brazilian 
government to conduct flight operations, 
including authorization and technical 
operative certificates from ANAC, the 
continuation of which is subject to 
ongoing compliance with applicable 
statutes, rules and regulations pertaining 

to the airline industry, including any rules 
and regulations that may be adopted in 
the future.

ANAC is the Brazilian civil aviation 
authority and it is responsible for 
supervising compliance with Brazilian 
laws and regulations relating to air 
navigation. Brazil is a contracting state 
and a permanent member of the ICAO. 
The ICAO establishes technical standards 
for the international aviation industry, 
which Brazilian authorities, represented 
by the Brazilian Defense Ministry, 
have incorporated into Brazilian laws 
and regulations. In the absence of an 
applicable Brazilian regulation concerning 
safety or maintenance, ANAC has 
incorporated by reference the majority of 
the ICAO’s technical standards.

Route Rights
Domestic Routes: Brazilian airlines 
operate under a public services 
concession, and for that reason 
Brazilian airlines are required to obtain 
a concession to provide passenger and 
cargo air transportation services from 
the Brazilian authorities. In addition, 
an Air Operator Certificate (“AOC”) is 
also required for Brazilian Airlines to 
provide regular domestic passenger or 
cargo transportation services. Brazilian 
Airlines also need to comply with all 
technical requirements established by

REGULATION

the Brazilian Aviation Authority (ANAC). 
Based on the Brazilian Aeronautical 
Code (“CBA”) established by Brazilian 
Federal Law nº. 7.565/86, there are no 
limitations to ownership of Brazilian 
airlines by foreign investors. The CBA 
also states that non-Brazilian airlines 
are not authorized to provide domestic 
air transportation services in Brazil.

International Routes: Brazilian and non-
Brazilian airlines providing services on 
international routes are also subject to 
a variety of bilateral civil air transport 
agreements that provide for the exchange 
of air traffic rights between Brazil and 
various other countries. International 
route rights, as well as the corresponding 
landing rights, are derived from a variety 
of air transport agreements negotiated 
between Brazil and foreign governments. 
Under such agreements, the government 
of one country grants the government 
of another country the right to designate 
one or more of its domestic airlines to 
operate scheduled services to certain 
destinations of the former and, in certain 
cases, to further connect to third-country 
destinations. In Brazil, when additional 
route frequencies to and from foreign cities 
become available, any eligible airline may 
apply to obtain them. If there is more than 
one applicant for a route frequency ANAC 
must carry out a public bid and award it 
to the elected airline. ANAC grants route 

frequencies subject to the condition that 
the recipient airline operates them on a 
permanent basis. ANAC’s resolution 491/18 
indicates the requirements to establish 
the underuse of a frequency, and how it 
could be revoked and reassigned. This 
provision of the resolution came into 
force in September 2019.

Airfare Pricing Policy
Brazilian and non-Brazilian airlines 
are permitted to establish their own 
international and domestic fares, in 
this last case only for Brazilian airlines, 
without government regulation, as long 
as they do not abuse any dominant 
market position they may enjoy. Airlines 
may file complaints before the Antitrust 
Court with respect to monopolistic or 
other pricing practices by other airlines 
that violate Brazil’s antitrust laws.

COLOMBIA
Aeronautical Regulation
The governmental entity in charge of 
regulating, directing and supervising civil 
aviation in Colombia is the Aeronáutica 
Civil (the “AC”), a technical agency 
ascribed to the Ministry of Transportation. 
The AC is the aeronautical authority 
for the entire domestic territory, in 
charge of regulating and supervising 
the Colombian air space. The AC may 
interpret, apply and complement all 
civil aviation and air transportation 

regulation to ensure compliance with 
the Colombian Aeronautical Regulations 
(“RAC”). The AC also grants the 
necessary permits for air transportation.

Route Rights
The AC grants operation permits to 
domestic and foreign carriers that intend 
to operate in, from and to Colombia. 
In the case of Colombian airlines, in 
order to obtain the operational permit, 
the company must comply with the 
RAC and fulfill legal, economic and 
technical requirements, to later be 
subject to public hearings where the 
public convenience and necessity of 
the service is considered. The same 
process must be followed to add 
national or international routes; whose 
concession is subject to the bilateral 
instruments entered into by Colombia. 
The only exception for not complying 
with the public hearing procedure is that 
the application comes from a country 
member of the CAN, or that the route 
or permit being applied for is part of a 
deregulated regime. Even if it does not 
go through the public hearing process, 
the airline must submit a complete 
study to the AC and the request is made 
public on the website of the authority. 
Routes cannot be transferred under any 
circumstance and there is no limit to 
foreign investment in domestic airlines.

Airfare Pricing Policy
Since July 2007, as stated in resolution 
3299 of the Aeronautical Civil entity, 
bottom level airfares for both international 
and domestic transportation were 
eliminated. Under resolution 904 issued 
in February 2012, the Aeronautical Civil 
authority ceased to impose the obligation 
of charging a fuel surcharge for both 
domestic and international transportation 
of passengers and cargo. As of April 
1, 2012, air carriers may now freely 
decide whether to add a fuel charge. 
In the case that a fuel surcharge is 
charged, it must be part of the fare, 
but shall be informed separately on the 
tickets, advertising or other methods of 
marketing used by the company.

In the same line, as of April 1, 2012, 
there is no longer any restriction on 
maximum fares published by the airlines 
or with respect to the obligations for air 
carriers to report to the Aeronautical civil 
authority the fares and conditions the 
day after being published.

Administrative fares are not subject 
to any changes, and its charge is 
mandatory for the transport of 
passengers under Aeronautical Civil 
Regulations. Differential administrative 
fares apply to ticket sales made through 
Internet channels.

ANTITRUST REGULATION

Chile
The Chilean antitrust authority, which 
we refer to as the National Economic 
Prosecutor Office (“FNE” by its Spanish 
name), oversees and investigates 
antitrust matters, which are governed 
by Decree Law No. 211 of 1973, as 
amended, or the “Antitrust Law.” The 
Antitrust Law states as anticompetitive, 
any conduct that prevents, restricts 
or hinders competition, or sets out to 
produce said effects.

The Antitrust Law continues by 
giving examples of the following 
anticompetitive conducts: (i) cartels; (ii) 
abuse of dominance; and (iii) interlocking. 
The Antitrust Law defines abusive 
practices as “The abusive exploitation 
on the part of an economic agent, or a 
group thereof, of a dominant position in 
the market, fixing sale or purchase prices, 
imposing on a sale the acquisition of 
another product, allocating territories or 
market quotas or imposing similar abuses 
on others; as well as predatory practices, 
or unfair competition, carried out with 
the purpose of reaching, maintaining or 
increasing a dominant position.”

An aggrieved person may sue for damages 
arising from a breach of Antitrust Law 
by suing in the Chilean Competition 

Court (the “TDLC” by its Spanish name). 
The TDLC has the authority to impose 
a variety of sanctions for violations 
of the Antitrust Law, including: (i) the 
amendment or termination of acts 
and contracts; (ii) the amendment or 
dissolution of legal entities involved in 
the punished conducts; and/or (iii) the 
imposition of a fine up to 30% of the 
sales of the infringing entity corresponding 
to the line of products and/or services 
associated to the infraction, during the 
entire term for which the infringement 
lasted; alternatively, a fine equal to the 
double of the economic benefit obtained 
by the infringing company; and when none 
of these alternatives can be applied, a 
fine up to USD 50,000,000 approximately 
(60,000 UTA).

As described above under “Route 
Rights — Airfare Pricing Policy,” in 
the Resolution n°445 of August 1995, 
the TDLC approved a merger control 
transaction between LAN Chile and 
LANDECO but imposed a specific 
self-regulatory fare plan for domestic 
air passenger market consistent with 
the TDLC’s directive to maintain a 
competitive environment within the 
domestic market. This Airfare Pricing 
Policy Plan was updated by the TDLC 
particularly to maintain its objective 
which consists of a tariff regulation, 
through which maximum rates are 

established on non-competitive routes 
under a monthly compliance scheme.

Since October 1997, LATAM and LATAM 
Chile follow a self-regulatory plan, 
which was modified and approved by 
the TDLC in July 2005, and further in 
September 2011. In February 2010, the 
FNE closed the investigation initiated 
in 2007 regarding our compliance with 
this self-regulatory plan and no further 
observations were made.

As a condition to the combination 
between LAN and TAM in June 2012, 
the antitrust authorities in Chile and 
Brazil each imposed certain mitigation 
measures as part of their approval of 
the merger transaction. Furthermore, 
the association was also submitted to 
the antitrust authorities in Germany, 
Italy and Spain. All these jurisdictions 
granted unconditional clearances for this 
transaction. The merger was filed with 
the Argentinean antitrust authorities; 
approval is still pending. For more 
information regarding these mitigation 
measures please see below:

proposed combination between LAN 
and TAM, subject to 14 conditions, as 
generally described below:

•  exchange of certain slots in the 

Guarulhos Airport at São Paulo, Brazil;

•  extension of the frequent flyer 
program to airlines operating or 
willing to operate the Santiago-
São Paulo, Santiago-Río de Janeiro, 
Santiago-Montevideo and Santiago-
Asunción routes during the five-year 
period from the effective time of the 
combination;

•  execution of interline agreements 

with airlines operating the Santiago-
São Paulo, Santiago-Río de Janeiro 
and Santiago-Asunción routes;

•  certain capacity and other transitory 

restrictions applicable to the 
Santiago-São Paulo route;

•  certain amendments to LAN’s self-

regulatory fare plan approved by the 
TDLC with respect to LAN’s domestic 
passenger business;

On September 21, 2011, the TDLC issued 
a decision (the “Decision”) with respect 
to the consultation procedure initiated 
on January 28, 2011 in connection with 
the combination between LAN and TAM. 
The TDLC, in the Decision, approved the

for routes with origin or destination 
in Chile or that connect to North 
America and Europe, or with Avianca/
TACA or Gol for international routes 
in South America, including the 
obligation to consult with, and obtain 
approval from, the TDLC prior to 
its execution of certain of those 
codeshare agreements;

•  the abandonment of four air traffic 

frequencies with fifth freedom rights 
between Chile and Peru and limitations 
on acquiring in excess of 75%, as 
applicable, of the air traffic frequencies 
in that route and the period that 
certain air traffic frequencies may be 
granted by the Chilean air transport 
authorities to LATAM;

•  issuance of a statement by LATAM 
supporting the unilateral opening of 
the Chilean domestic skies (cabotage) 
and abstention from any actions that 
would prevent such opening;

•  promotion by LATAM of the growth 

and normal operation of the 
Guarulhos (Brazil) and Arturo Merino 

•  certain restrictions regarding 
incentives to travel agencies;

•  to maintain temporarily 12 round trip 
flights per week between Chile and 
the United States and at least seven 
round trip non-stop flights per week 
between Chile and Europe;

•  certain transitory restrictions on 

increasing fares in the Santiago-São

routes for the passenger business 
and for the Chile-Brazil routes for the 
cargo business; and

•  engaging an independent consultant, 
expert in airline operations, which 
for 36 months, and in coordination 
with the FNE, will monitor and audit 
compliance with the conditions 
imposed by the Decision.

Around June 2015, the FNE initiated 
a legal claim against LATAM before 
the TDLC alleging that LATAM was 
not complying with certain mitigation 
conditions related to the code share 
agreements with airlines outside 
LATAM’s global alliance as referenced 
above. Although LATAM opposed this 
allegation and responded to the claim 

accordingly, a settlement agreement 
was reached between the FNE and 
LATAM (the “Settlement Agreement”). 
The Settlement Agreement approved 
by the TDLC on December 22, 2015 
terminated the legal proceeding initiated 
by the FNE and did not establish any 
violation of the TDLC resolutions or 
any applicable antitrust regulations 
by LATAM. The Settlement Agreement 
did establish the obligation of LATAM 
to amend/terminate certain code 
share agreements and contract an 
independent third party consultant, 
which would act as an advisor to the 
FNE to monitor the compliance by 
LATAM of the Seventh Condition and the 
Settlement Agreement.

On October 31, 2018, the TDLC 
approved the joint business agreements 
between LATAM and American Airlines, 
and between LATAM and IAG, subject 
to nine mitigation measures. On 
May 23, 2019 the Supreme Court of 
Chile revoked the TDLC decision, and 
both agreements were rejected. On 
September 26, 2019, LATAM announced 
that the JBA with American Airlines 
would be terminated and, on December 
6, 2019, LATAM announced that the JBA 
with IAG would not be implemented.

As of October 15, 2019, LATAM Airlines 
Group S.A. was notified that Fiscalía 

Nacional Económica (“FNE”) begun the 
investigation Rol N° 2585-19, regarding 
the Agreement between LATAM Airlines 
Group S.A. and Delta Airlines Inc. On 
August 13, 2021, FNE, Delta and LATAM 
reached an out-of-court-agreement by 
which the investigation was closed.

On January 31, 2022, LATAM Airlines 
Group S.A. received a resolution 
issued by TDLC regarding a LATAM 
request for clarification about the 
Seventh Condition of the Decision. This 
resolution says that paragraphs VII.1 
and VII.3 of the mentioned Condition 
apply to LATAM even if it doesn’t belong 
to a global airline alliance.

LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Delta 
Air Lines successfully reached an 
agreement on the implementation, 
along with certain mitigation measures 
for their TransAmerican Joint Venture 
Agreement (JVA) with FNE and on 
October 28, 2021 received approval of 
the agreement from Chile’s Tribunal de

MATERIAL FACT 

In accordance with the provisions 
set forth in Article 9 and the second 
paragraph of Article 10 of the Securities 
Market Law, and in General Rule No. 
30, duly authorized, I hereby report 
the following MATERIAL FACT of

or the “Company”), registration in the 
Securities Registry No. 306: 

Cleansing Materials, as Exhibits 99.1, 
99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 hereto. 

Finally, it is reported that while

not yet reached an agreement with 
respect to the material terms of a

In accordance with the provisions 
set forth in Article 9 and the second

Market Law, and in General Rule No.

the following MATERIAL FACT of 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (“LATAM” 
or the “Company”), registration in the 
Securities Registry No. 306: 

1. Update on the LATAM’s Chapter 11 
Proceeding: 

•  As previously reported, LATAM and 
certain of its direct and indirect 
subsidiaries (collectively, such 
subsidiaries with LATAM, the 
“Debtors”) have commenced a 
reorganization proceeding in the 
United States of America (the 
“Chapter 11 Proceeding”) pursuant 
to the rules set forth in Chapter 
11 (the “Chapter 11”) of Title 11 of

MATERIAL FACTS  

the United States Code (the “U.S. 
Bankruptcy Code”). As part of this 
reorganization process, LATAM is 
currently negotiating with various 
stakeholders in order to agree on the 
terms of a plan of reorganization and 
exit financing to successfully emerge 
from the Chapter 11 Proceeding in 
compliance with all applicable laws. 

•  In this context, over the past few 

months, LATAM has entered into non-
disclosure agreements with various 
stakeholders, and has developed 
and made available to them certain 
material non-public information. 

•  Also in connection with the 

negotiations with these stakeholders, 
LATAM provided an indicative proposed 
structure for its reorganization which 
sought approximately US$5,000 
millions of equity financing, and 
contemplated a consensual plan 
among stakeholders which required 
among other things, the compromise 
by stakeholders regarding their rights 
and compliance with both the U.S. 
Bankruptcy Code and Chilean law.  

•  As informed by a material fact dated 
as of the date hereof, in accordance 
with the terms of the aforementioned 
non-disclosure agreements and in 
furtherance of the process, on this 

date, LATAM has publicly disclosed 
certain materials that had been 
delivered to the counterparties (the 
“Cleansing Materials”). The Cleansing 
Materials include (i) the LATAM Exit 
Capital Raise Process Letter, (ii) the 
LATAM Illustrative Plan Term Sheet, 
(iii) the blowout Business Plan 
Presentation and (iv) Updated Blowout 
Materials – Draft Claim Estimates, all 
of which is currently publicly available 
at https://www.latamreorganizacion.
com/en/publications/. 

•  In response to its requests for 

proposals, as of this date, LATAM 
has received certain non-binding exit 
capital and financing proposals (each 
such proposal, an “Exit Proposal”) 
from its most significant claimholders 
and its majority shareholders. Each 
Exit Proposal contemplates raising 
new funds in excess of US$5,000 
millions through the issuance of new 
debt and equity in LATAM, which 
would be backstopped by the parties 
making the proposal. In addition, in 
each Exit Proposal, the proponents 
contemplate that if such proposal is 
approved and implemented, it would 
result in the substantial dilution of 
LATAM’s currently existing shares. 

proponents, and will continue to 
engage in discussions regarding 
its reorganization plan with such 
proponents and other stakeholders, 
some of whom have agreed to remain 
under non-disclosure agreements.  

•  LATAM is focused on ensuring that 

any exit strategy allows it to emerge 
from the Chapter 11 Proceeding with 
a robust capital structure, adequate 
liquidity, and the ability to execute 
its business plan in a sustainable 
manner over time. Any plan will be 
implemented in accordance with the 
relevant requirements of the U.S. 
Bankruptcy Code and Chilean law. 

•  The Company will keep its 

shareholders and the market 
informed of the progress of the 
Chapter 11 Proceeding. In addition, 
and without limiting the generality of 
the foregoing, LATAM contemplates 
to summon its shareholders to an 
extraordinary shareholders meeting 
when appropriate, subject to the 
progress of the negotiations with 
the various stakeholders that are 
currently pending. 

2. LATAM’s Request to Extend the 
Exclusivity Periods:  

•  LATAM will continue to discuss the 
Exit Proposals with their respective 

•  On this date, LATAM and its 

subsidiaries subject to the Chapter 
11 Proceeding filed a motion with the 
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern 
District of New York (the “Court”) 
seeking to extend the periods 
during which the Debtors will have 
the exclusive right to file a plan of 
reorganization from September 15, 2021 
to October 15, 2021, and the exclusive 
right to solicit acceptances of a plan 
from November 8, 2021, to December 
15, 2021 (collectively, the “Exclusivity 
Periods”). The Court is scheduled to 
consider the motion at a hearing to be 
held on September 23, 2021. 

•  This request will support the 
development of a plan of 
reorganization that satisfies the 
equity and debt needs, and will assist 
in the negotiation with the various 
stakeholders in the Chapter 11 
Proceeding. 

3. LATAM’s Solicitation of Interest for 
Potential Tranche B Funding: 

•  As previously reported, the English-

language financing agreement 
entered into in the context of the 
Chapter 11 Proceeding, denominated 
Super-Priority DebtorIn-Possession 
Term Loan Agreement (the “DIP Credit 
Agreement”) provides for a possible 
Tranche B for up to US$750 million,

subject to the Court’s authorization 
and other customary conditions for 
this type of transactions. This is in 
addition to the existing US$1,300 
million Tranche A facility and the 
US$1,150 million Tranche C facility. 

•  It is worth mentioning that LATAM 

continues to have availability under 
the Tranche A facility and the Tranche 
C facility, for US$424.5 millions and 
US$375.5 millions, respectively.  

•  Notwithstanding the foregoing, and in 
order to take advantage of favorable 
market conditions, LATAM is requesting 
proposals from parties interested in 
providing financing under Tranche B 
of the DIP Credit Agreement. Once 
such proposals are received, LATAM 
will consider such proposals with its 
advisors in due course. 

•  The Tranche B, if any, will be secured 
by the same assets that currently 
secure Tranche A and Tranche C; 
provided, however, that the Tranche 
A liens will be senior to the Tranche B 
liens, and the Tranche B liens will be 
senior to the Tranche C liens. 

As indicated above, the Company will keep 
shareholders and the market informed on 
the progress of the Chapter 11 Proceeding.

MATERIAL FACT 
Pursuant to the provisions set forth 
in Article 9 and the second paragraph 
of Article 10 of the Securities Market 
Law, and in General Rule No. 30, duly 
authorized, I hereby report the following 
MATERIAL FACT of LATAM Airlines 
Group S.A. (“LATAM” or the “Company”), 
registration in the Securities Registry 
No. 306: 

•  As previously reported, the Super-
Priority Debtor-In-Possession Term 
Loan Agreement (the “DIP Credit 
Agreement”) entered into in the 
context of the reorganization process 
of LATAM and certain of its direct 
and indirect subsidiaries in the United 
States of America (the “Chapter 11 
Proceeding”) contemplates a possible 
Tranche B for up to US$750 million, 
subject to the authorization of the 
Bankruptcy Court of the Southern 
District of New York hearing the 
Chapter 11 Proceeding (the “Court”) 
and other customary conditions for 
this type of transaction. This is in 
addition to the $1.3 billion Tranche A 
facility and the $1.15 billion Tranche C 
facility currently existing thereunder. 

•  As informed by means of a material 
fact dated September 9, 2021, in 
order to take advantage of favorable 

market conditions, this is, lower 
financing costs under the DIP Credit 
Agreement, LATAM had requested 
proposals from parties interested in 
providing financing under the Tranche 
B facility of the DIP Credit Agreement 
in an amount up to US$750 million. 
This is notwithstanding that LATAM 
continues to maintain availability 
under the Tranche A and Tranche C 
facilities for US$424.5 million and 
US$375.5 million, respectively. 

•  In response to the above, LATAM has 
received various financing proposals 
which have been evaluated and 
negotiated in a timely manner by the 
Company together with its advisors. 
In this regard, the LATAM’s Directors 
Committee, at meetings held on 
September 21 and 23, 2021, reviewed 
such financing proposals and 
recommended the Board of Directors 
to approve the proposal submitted 
by a group of financiers comprised 
of Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. 
(“OCM”) and Apollo Management 
Holdings, L.P. (“Apollo”) and certain 
funds, accounts and entities advised 
by OCM and Apollo (hereinafter, the 
“Tranche B DIP Financing Proposal”). 
At a meeting held on September 24, 
2021, the Board of Directors -by 
unanimous vote of the independent 
directors-, resolved to approve the 

Tranche B DIP Financing Proposal, 
subject to the Court’s approval. 
Notwithstanding, the aforementioned, 
LATAM could receive other financing 
proposals for Tranche B of the DIP 
Credit Agreement, which would be 
timely evaluated by the Company and 
its advisors.  

•  An amendment to the DIP Credit 

Agreement (the “Tranche B 
Amendment”) to effectuate the 
Tranche B DIP Financing Proposal was 
submitted to the Court for approval 
on this same date. The Tranche B DIP 
Financing Proposal shall be subject to 
the terms and conditions set forth in 
the DIP Credit Agreement, except for 
the particularities of the Tranche B 
Amendment, which are indicated below: 

–   Lenders: Group of lenders consisting 

of OCM and Apollo and certain funds, 
accounts and entities advised by 
OCM and Apollo. 

–   Committed Amount: US$750 million,

In accordance with the provisions 
set forth in Article 9 and the second 
paragraph of Article 10 of the Securities 
Market Law, and in General Rule No.

the following MATERIAL FACT of 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. (“LATAM”

Securities Registry No. 306: 

As previously reported, the Company 
and certain of its direct and indirect 
subsidiaries (collectively with LATAM,

reorganization proceeding in the United

Por Acciones, Delta Air Lines, Inc.,

Santiago, November 26, 2021 
MATERIAL FACT 
Pursuant to the provisions set forth 
in Article 9 and the second paragraph 
of Article 10 of the Securities Market 
Law, and in General Rule No. 30, duly 
authorized, I hereby report the following 
MATERIAL FACT of LATAM Airlines 
Group S.A. (“LATAM” or the “Company”), 
Securities Registration No. 306: 

1. In the context of the reorganization 
proceeding of LATAM and certain of 
its direct and indirect subsidiaries 
(collectively with LATAM, the 
“Debtors”) in the United States of 
America (the “Chapter 11 Proceeding”) 
pursuant to the rules set forth in 
Chapter 11 (the “Chapter 11”) of 
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, on this 
date, the Debtors have filed with the 
Bankruptcy Court for the Southern 
District of New York where the Chapter 
11 Proceeding is pending (the “Court”), 
a plan of reorganization and financing 
(the “Plan of Reorganization”) which 
contemplates a series of transactions 
in order to successfully emerge 
from the Chapter 11 Proceeding 
in compliance with all applicable 
laws. Such plan, in order to be 
implemented, must first be approved 
by the requisite creditors classes and 
confirmed by the Court in accordance 
with the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. 

2. The restructuring contemplated in the 
Plan of Reorganization is supported by 
a group of unsecured creditors of LATAM 
represented by Evercore (the “Evercore 
Represented Creditors”). Additionally, 
and subject to the confirmation by their 
respective boards, such restructuring 
is also supported by (i) Delta Air Lines, 
Inc.; (ii) Qatar Airways Investment (UK) 
Ltd.; (iii) the Cueto group (i.e., Costa 
Verde Aeronáutica S.A. and Inversiones 
Costa Verde Ltda. y Cía. en Comandita 
Por Acciones); and (iv) the Eblen group 
(i.e., Andes Aérea SpA, Inversiones Pia 
SpA and Comercial Las Vertientes SpA). 
Hereinafter, the parties indicated in (i), 
(ii) and (iii), the “Backstop Shareholders”. 

3. The Plan of Reorganization 
contemplates, among other things: 

A. A capital increase from the current 
approximate amount of US$3,146 
million divided into 606,407,693 
common shares to approximately 
the amount of US$13,602 million 
divided into approximately 
606,407,693,000 common shares. This 
capital increase in the approximate 
amount of US$10,456 million will be 
carried out through (i) the issuance 
of new common stock (the “New 
Common Stock”), representing 
approximately US$800 million, and 
(ii) the issuance of shares intended 

Appendices

136

MATERIAL FACTS  

to support the issuance of three 
classes of new convertible notes 
(the “New Convertible Notes”) and 
the potential conversion thereof into 
common shares of the Company, 
representing in the aggregate 
approximately US$9,656 million. 
As a consequence of the foregoing, 
and notwithstanding the preemptive 
rights of LATAM’s shareholders 
pursuant to applicable law, according 
to the terms and conditions of the 
Plan of Reorganization, the shares 
currently issued by the Company 
would represent approximately 0.1% 
of the total shares of LATAM after the 
reorganization. 

The New Common Stock will be 
preemptively offered to all of the 
Company’s shareholders, as required 
by current legislation. In addition, it 
should be noted that the placement 
of all of the New Common Stock 
is assured because, subject to the 
execution of commitment letters 
and definitive documentation, (i) the 
Backstop Shareholders have agreed 
to backstop up to US$400 million of 
New Common Stock without being 
entitled to any payment as a result 
of such commitment; and (ii) the 
remaining US$400 million, to the 
extent not subscribed by the remaining 
shareholders’ of LATAM, will be 

subscribed by the Evercore Represented 
Creditors, who have agreed to backstop 
the placement of the New Common 
Stock for up such amount in exchange 
for a payment of 20% calculated on 
such amount. 

B. The New Convertible Notes 
issuance, in accordance with the 
details indicated below: 

i. New Convertible Notes denominated 
“New Convertible Notes Class A” and 
“New Convertible Notes Class C” to 
be allocated in settlement of certain 
claims against LATAM existing as of 
the date of filing of the voluntary 
petition of relief under Chapter 11, to 
restructure such claims. 

The difference between the two is 
that while the recipients of the New 
Convertible Notes Class A are unsecured 
creditors of LATAM who elect not to 
contribute new money to the Company 
(thereby receiving New Convertible 
Notes Class A in lieu of payment of 
their claims), the recipients of the New 
Class C Convertible Notes are unsecured 
creditors who elect to contribute 
new money, thereby receiving New 
Convertible Notes Class C in exchange for 
a combination of a settlement of their 
claims and a contribution of new money, 
at a rate of approximately US$0.921692 

of new money for each US$1 of claims 
(the “Subscription Ratio”).  

As explained further below, the 
aggregate amount of the New 
Convertible Notes Class C is 
approximately US$6,816 million. As 
a result of the Subscription Ratio, 
should this New Convertible Notes 
Class C were subscribed in their 
entirety by unsecured creditors, 
such subscription would require 
(i) a new money contribution of 
approximately US$3,269 million; and 
(ii) a settlement of unsecured claims 
for approximately US$3,547 million. 
It should be added that the Evercore 
Represented Creditors, subject to 
the execution of commitment letters 
and definitive documentation, have 
agreed to backstop the placement of 
the integrity of the New Convertible 
Notes Class C in exchange of a 
payment of 20% calculated over 
the aforementioned new money 
contribution amount of approximately 
US$3,269 million. 

subscribed by such shareholders, the 
unsecured creditors that are otherwise 
beneficiaries thereof may receive in 
lieu of such New Convertible Bonds, 
distributions of the cash obtained from 
such subscription. 

ii. “New Convertible Notes Class B” 
intended to raise new money, which 
will also be preemptively offered to 
all of the Company’s shareholders. 
The placement of these bonds is fully 
backstopped by the Backstopping 
Shareholders, without the right to 
receive any payment in exchange for 
such commitment, subject to the 
execution of commitment letters and 
definitive documentation. 

It is worth noting that the new money 
that will be obtained by the Company 
due to the placement of the New 
Convertible Notes Class B, the New 
Convertible Notes Class C and the 
New Common Stock will amount 
approximately to US$5,442 million. 

Finally, although the New Convertible 
Notes Class A and the New Convertible 
Notes Class C are structured to be 
delivered in settlement of existing 
claims, they will be preemptively offered 
to LATAM’s shareholders as required by 
applicable law. In the event they are 

C. The incurrence of new debt for 
approximately US$2,250 million and 
a new revolving credit facility for 
approximately US$500 million, which 
will be structured after a competitive 
process in the market in order to 
obtain the best financial conditions 
available at the time of contracting.

4. With respect to the New Common 
Stock: 

A. Subscription Price: The price at which 
the New Common Stock will be offered 
will reflect a 13.73% discount with 
respect to the equity value of LATAM 
at the consolidated level (“LATAM’s 
Equity Value”). However, to the extent 
LATAM’s Equity Value set forth in the 
Plan of Reorganization is amended, 
the subscription price shall also be 
amended. 

B. Placement Mechanics: As indicated, 
these shares will be preemptively 
offered to all of the Company’s 
shareholders during the respective 
preemptive rights offering period 
(the “First POP”). The Backstop 
Shareholders have agreed to subscribe 
their respective pro-rata in the 
First POP without being entitled to 
any payment resulting from such 
commitment. In the event that after 
the expiration of the First POP, New 
Common Stock is still available, such 
stock will be preemptively offered 
to all shareholders of the Company 
who have participated in the First 
POP (including, without limitation, 
the Backstop Shareholders and other 
LATAM shareholders). As mentioned 
above, subject to the execution of 
binding commitment letters and 

definitive documentation, the Backstop 
Shareholders have agreed to backstop 
up to US$400 million of the New 
Common Stock without being entitled 
to any payment as a result of such 
commitment; provided, however, that 
the aggregate amount of shares that 
the Backstop Shareholders will have in 
LATAM as a result of the subscription 
of New Common Stock and the 
exercise of the conversion option of 
the New Convertible Notes Class B, 
shall not exceed 27% of the capital of 
the reorganized Company. 

Finally, in the event that after the 
foregoing, New Common Stock is still 
available, the remainder will be subscribed 
by the Evercore Represented Creditors 
up to the amount of US$400 million, 
who have assumed such commitment in 
exchange for a payment of 20% calculated 
on such amount, subject to the execution 
of binding commitment letters and 
definitive documentation. 

5. With respect to the New Convertible 
Notes Class A: 

A. Amount of the Issue: Approximate 
amount of US$1,467 million.

Notes Class C:

of New Convertible Bonds Class A into 
shares of the Company at a ratio of 
0.193333x; provided, however, that to 
the extent LATAM’s Equity Value set 
forth in the Plan of Reorganization is 
amended, such conversion ratio shall 
also be amended.  

However, the conversion ratio shall 
decrease by 50% in the event that the 
conversion option is exercised after 
the 60th day after the date on which 
the Plan of Reorganization becomes 
effective (the “Effective Date”). 

E. Distribution of New Convertible 
Notes Class A:To the extent that the 
New Convertible Notes Class A are 
not subscribed by the Company’s 
shareholders during the respective 
preemptive rights offering period, the 
Plan of Reorganization contemplates 
that they will be allocated to 
unsecured creditors who do not opt 
to participate in the New Convertible 
Notes Class C, in settlement of their 
claims. It should be added that the 
Backstop Shareholders have agreed 
to waive their respective preemptive 
rights to subscribe for these 
instruments. 

A. Amount of the Issue: Approximate 
amount of US$6,816 million, which to 
the extent fully subscribed by unsecured 
creditors would require (i) a new 
money contribution of approximately 
US$3,269 million; and (ii) acceptance 
of a settlement of their claims for 
approximately US$3,547 million. 

B. Maturity Date: Payable in a single 
installment on December 31, 2121. 

C. Interest: No interest will accrue. 

D. Conversion Ratio: Conversion ratio 
of New Convertible Bonds Class C into 
shares of the Company at a ratio of 
0.705506x; provided, however, that to 
the extent LATAM’s Equity Value set 
forth in the Plan of Reorganization is 
amended, such conversion ratio shall 
also be amended.  

However, the conversion ratio will 
decrease by 50% in case the conversion 
option is exercised after the 60th day

Notes Class C: To the extent that

are not subscribed by the Company’s

shareholders during the respective 
preemptive rights offering period, the 
Plan of Reorganization contemplates 
that they will be subscribed by 
unsecured creditors who opt to 
participate in the New Convertible 
Notes Class C in exchange of (i) a 
settlement of their claims; and (ii) a 
new money contribution pursuant to 
the Subscription Ratio. It should be 
added that the Backstop Shareholders 
have agreed to waive their respective 
preemptive rights to subscribe for 
these instruments. 

7. With respect to the New Convertible 
Notes Class B: 

A. Amount of the Issue: Approximate 
amount of US$1,373 million in new 
money. 

B. Maturity Date: Payable in a single 
installment on December 31, 2121. 

C. Interest: Interest shall accrue payable 
in cash at a rate of 1% per annum; 
provided, however, that no interest shall 
accrue during the first 60 days from the 
Effective Date. 

D. Conversion Ratio: Conversion ratio 
of New Convertible Bonds Class B into 
shares of the Company at a ratio of 
1.159152x; provided, however, that to 

the extent LATAM’s Equity Value set 
forth in the Plan of Reorganization is 
amended, such conversion ratio shall 
also be amended. This conversion ratio 
implies an implicit price per share equal 
to that of the New Common Stock.  

However, the conversion ratio will 
decrease by 50% in the event that the 
conversion option is exercised after the 
fourth anniversary date plus 60 days 
from the Effective Date. 

E. Lock-up Period: In the event that the 
conversion option is exercised within 60 
days after the Effective Date, the shares 
received as a result of the conversion 
may not be transferred until the fourth 
anniversary from the Effective Date; 
provided, however, that such shares 
could be subjected to encumbrances 
during such period. 

F. Subscription of New Convertible 
Notes Class B: To the extent that the 
New Convertible Notes Class B are not 
subscribed by the Company’s minority 
shareholders during the respective 
preemptive rights period, they will 
be subscribed in their entirety by 
the Backstop Shareholders in their 
capacity as strategic shareholders, 
who have agreed to fully backstop 
the placement of the New Convertible 
Notes Class B that are not subscribed 

by the remaining shareholders of 
the Company, not demanding any 
backstop payment in exchange for 
such commitment. 

8. The Plan of Reorganization also 
contemplates that LATAM’s bylaws 
will be amended so that, during the 
two years following the Effective Date, 
the approval of any of the matters 
contemplated in Article 67 of Law No. 
18,046 will require the affirmative vote 
of 73% of the voting shares, instead 
of two-thirds of the voting shares as 
provided therein. 

9. In addition, the Plan of 
Reorganization also contemplates a 
number of customary elements for 
these type of transactions, including 
(i) the establishment of an incentive 
plan for the management of LATAM, 
the terms and conditions of which are 
to be determined; and (ii) the payment 
in full of the debtor-in-possession 
financing granted to the Company 
in the context of the Chapter 11 
Proceeding with the new funds raised 
in connection with the transactions 
contemplated under the Plan of 
Reorganization. 

10. As is customary in this type of 
restructuring, the various creditors 
and interest holders in the Chapter 11 
Proceeding have been divided in the 
Plan of Reorganization into different 
classes. Some of these creditors or 
interest holders have been grouped into 
classes that are not impaired by the 
Plan of Reorganization because it is 
contemplated that their claims will be 
refinanced, paid, or otherwise treated in 
an unimpaired manner. Under the rules 
of Chapter 11, these interested parties 
are presumed to accept the Plan of 
Reorganization. On the other hand, there 
are other creditors and stakeholders 
that are grouped into classes that will be 
impaired by the Plan of Reorganization 
because their claims are restructured 
under the Plan of Reorganization. Under 
the rules of Chapter 11, these classes 
of interested parties will be entitled to 
vote, accepting or rejecting the Plan of 
Reorganization. 

11. If the Plan of Reorganization is 
approved by the requisite creditor 
vote, confirmed by the Court and 
implemented, it will enable the 
Debtors to emerge from the Chapter 
11 Proceeding with a robust capital 
structure, with adequate liquidity and 
will allow the Company to successfully 
execute its business plan in a 
sustainable manner over time.

RISK FACTORS

The following important factors, and 
those important factors described 
in other reports we submit to or file 
with the Securities and Exchange 
Commission (“SEC”), could affect our 
actual results and could cause our 
actual results to differ materially from 
those expressed in any forward-looking 
statements made by us or on our 
behalf. In particular, as we are a non-
U.S. company, there are risks associated 
with investing in our ADSs that are not 
typical for investments in the shares 
of U.S. companies. Prior to making 
an investment decision, you should 
carefully consider all of the information 
contained in this document, including 
the following risk factors.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR CHAPTER 11 
PROCEEDINGS

We and a substantial number of our 
consolidated subsidiaries filed voluntary 
petitions for relief under Chapter 11 
of the Bankruptcy Code, and we are 
subject to the risks and uncertainties 
associated with our Chapter 11 
proceedings.

customers, directors, officers and 
employees; and

•  maintain contracts that are critical 
to our operations on reasonably 
acceptable terms and conditions.

We will also be subject to risks relating 
to, among others:

As a consequence of our Chapter 11 
filings, the operations and our ability 
to develop and execute our business 
plan, as well as our continuation as a 
going concern, will be subject to the 
risks and uncertainties associated with 
bankruptcy. These risks include our 
ability to:

•  confirm and consummate a plan of 
reorganization with respect to our 
Chapter 11 proceedings;

•  the high costs of bankruptcy 
proceedings and related fees;

•  the ability of third parties to seek and 
obtain court approval to (i) terminate 
contracts and other agreements 
with us, (ii) shorten the exclusivity 
period for us to propose and confirm 
a Chapter 11 plan or to appoint a 
Chapter 11 trustee or (iii) convert the 
Chapter 11 proceedings to Chapter 7 
liquidation proceedings; and

•  obtain sufficient financing, 

•  the actions and decisions of our 

including for working capital 
whether from additional debtor-
in-possession financing, exit 
financing or otherwise, and emerge 
from bankruptcy and execute our 
business plan post-emergence, as 
well as comply with the terms and 
conditions of that financing;

•  maintain our relationships with our 

creditors, suppliers, service providers, 

creditors and other third parties who 
have interests in our Chapter 11 
proceedings that may be inconsistent 
with our plans.

Any delays in our Chapter 11 
proceedings increase the risks of our 
inability to reorganize our business 
and emerge from bankruptcy and may 
increase our costs associated with the 
reorganization process.

the likelihood that we instead will be 
required to liquidate our assets may be

shares and debt instruments could 
become further devalued or become 
worthless.

RISK FACTORS

Because of the many risks and 
uncertainties associated with a 
voluntary filing for relief under Chapter 
11 and the related proceedings, we 
cannot accurately predict or quantify the 
ultimate impact that events that occur 
during our Chapter 11 proceedings may 
have on us and there is no certainty 
as to our ability to continue as a going 
concern.

It is impossible to predict with certainty 
the amount of time that we could spend 
in our Chapter 11 proceedings or to 
assure parties in interest that a plan 
of reorganization will be confirmed. 
Our Chapter 11 proceedings may 
involve additional expense and our 
management will be required to spend 
a significant amount of time and effort 
focusing on the Chapter 11 proceedings.

On September 19, 2020, the Bankruptcy 
Court entered an order approving the 
Debtors’ motion to approve certain 
debtor-in-possession financing 
consisting of a Tranche A facility in 
an amount of up to US$1.3 billion, 
and an initial Tranche C facility in an 
amount of up to US$1.15 billion. On 
October 18, 2021, the Bankruptcy 
Court entered an order approving the 
Debtor’s motion for additional debtor-
in-possession financing consisting of 
a Tranche B facility in an amount of up 

On November 26, 2021, the Debtors 
filed the Plan of Reorganization 
and entered into the RSA and, on 
January 12, 2022 entered into the 
Backstop Agreements. We cannot 
predict whether the Plan will be 
confirmed. If the Plan is not confirmed 
and we have to renegotiate a new 
plan of reorganization, our Chapter 
11 proceedings may take longer to 
conclude, which may adversely impact 
our ability to reorganize our business 
and emerge from bankruptcy.

Our Plan of Reorganization provides that 
we may refinance certain of our existing 
obligations and that we may also 
seek additional exit financing to repay 
certain other existing obligations and 
to fund our operations. Our Chapter 11 
proceedings may also make it necessary 
for us to seek additional debtor-in-
possession financing to fund operations, 
particularly if there are significant 
delays in our Chapter 11 proceedings. If 
we are unable to obtain such financing 
on favorable terms or at all, our chances 
of successfully reorganizing our business 
may be seriously jeopardized and 

and other costs in connection with our 
reorganization, and we expect that 
we will continue to incur significant 
professional fees and costs throughout 
our Chapter 11 proceedings. There 
are no assurances that our liquidity 
is sufficient to allow us to satisfy our 
obligations related to our Chapter 
11 proceedings, to proceed with the 
confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan 
of reorganization and to emerge 
successfully from our Chapter 11 
proceedings. Notably, as discussed 
below, to confirm a Chapter 11 plan 
of reorganization, we will have to 
demonstrate feasibility which will in 
part rely on our ability to demonstrate 
sufficient liquidity upon emergence.

Furthermore, we cannot predict the 
ultimate amount of all settlement 
terms for the liabilities that will be 
subject to our plan of reorganization. 
Even once a plan of reorganization is 
approved and implemented, we may 
be adversely affected by the possible 
reluctance of prospective lenders and 
other counterparties to do business with 
a company that has recently emerged 
from Chapter 11 proceedings.

We have substantial liquidity needs 
and may not be able to obtain 
sufficient liquidity to confirm a plan of 
reorganization and exit our Chapter 11 
proceedings successfully.

Although we have taken multiple 
measures to reduce our expenses 
and have reduced the scale of our 
operations significantly, mainly as 
a result of developments relating to 
the spread of COVID-19, our business 
remains capital intensive. In addition 
to the cash requirements necessary to 
fund our ongoing operations, we have 
incurred significant professional fees 

We can provide no assurance that we 
will be able to secure additional interim 
financing or exit financing sufficient to 
meet our liquidity needs. Our liquidity, 
including our ability to meet our 
ongoing operational obligations and 
the covenants, milestones and other 
conditions in our debt instruments, is 
dependent upon, among other things: 
(i) our ability to comply with the terms 
and conditions of the cash management 
order entered by the Bankruptcy Court 
in connection with our Chapter 11 
proceedings, (ii) our ability to maintain 
adequate cash on hand, (iii) our ability 
to generate positive cash flow from

operations, which in part depends on 
factors beyond our control relating 
to developments deriving from the 
spread of COVID-19, (iv) our ability to 
confirm and consummate a Chapter 
11 plan of reorganization and (v) the 
cost, duration and outcome of the 
Chapter 11 proceedings.

We may not be able to obtain 
confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of 
reorganization or such confirmation 
may be protracted and delayed.1

To emerge successfully from Bankruptcy 
Court protection as a viable entity, 
we must meet certain statutory 
requirements. On March 21, 2022, the 
Bankruptcy Court entered an order 
approving the disclosure statement 
regarding the proposed Plan of 
Reorganization, and corresponding 
solicitation materials, finding that 
the disclosure statement contained 
adequate information and permitting 
solicitation to commence (the 
“Disclosure Statement Order”). Pursuant 
to the Disclosure Statement Order, the 
Debtors are obligated to commence 
solicitation of its Plan of Reorganization 
within five business days after entry of 
the Disclosure Statement Order.

Notwithstanding the approval of the 
disclosure statement, we will still have 

to obtain the requisite acceptances of 
our plan and demonstrate the feasibility 
of our plan to the Bankruptcy Court by a 
preponderance of the evidence in order 
to fulfill other statutory conditions for 
confirmation of our plan. To date, and 
as described herein, although we have 
filed a proposed plan of reorganization, 
there can be no assurance as to whether 
parties in interest will seek to challenge 
confirmation of the plan, and as to 
when or whether the Bankruptcy Court 
will approve the Plan of Reorganization. 
Moreover, certain parties in interest 
have sought relief from the Bankruptcy 
Court which, if granted, could materially 
affect the Plan and the transactions 
contemplated therein. Similarly, just 
as we cannot assure that a plan of 
reorganization will be approved by the 
Bankruptcy Court, we cannot guarantee 
that such plan will be recognized or 
approved by the courts in the other 
jurisdictions in which we operated 
and/or where we are subject to the 
parallel and ancillary reorganization 
proceedings, or whether or when we will 
be able to emerge from such parallel or 
ancillary proceedings.

In particular, the confirmation 
process can be subject to numerous 
unanticipated potential delays. The risks 
include the possibility that:

•  We may receive objections to 
confirmation of any plan of 
reorganization from various 
stakeholders in our Chapter 
11 proceedings, including the 
effectiveness and effect of the steps 
required for the implementation 
of the Plan, which could delay and 
disrupt confirmation of the Plan 
and the Debtors’ emergence from 
bankruptcy. Any litigation may be 
expensive, lengthy and disruptive 
to the company’s normal business 
operations and the plan confirmation 
process. We cannot predict the 
impact that any objection or third 
party motion during our Chapter 
11 proceedings may have on the 
Bankruptcy Court’s decision to confirm 
a plan of reorganization or our ability 
to complete a plan of reorganization. A 
resolution of any such litigation that is 
unfavorable to the Debtors could have 
a material adverse effect on the plan 
confirmation process, emergence from 
bankruptcy or on LATAM’s businesses, 
results of operations, financial 
condition, liquidity and cash flow.

•  Adverse publicity in connection 

with the Chapter 11 proceedings or 
otherwise could negatively affect 
LATAM’s business both during the 
proceedings, the plan confirmation 
process and post-emergence.

Counterparties to assumed and 
assigned contracts may object to the 
assignment of such contracts pursuant 
to section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. 
Section 365(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy 
Code provides that a contract may not 
be assumed or assigned if applicable 
nonbankruptcy law so provides. 
While the Debtors do not believe that 
applicable nonbankruptcy law voids 
any of the Debtors’ assignments, a 
counterparty may nevertheless object 
to an assignment on such grounds.

The success of any reorganization will 
depend on approval by the Bankruptcy 
Court and the willingness of our 
creditors to agree to the exchange or 
modification of their claims as will be 
outlined in a plan of reorganization, 
and there can be no guarantee of 
success with respect to any plan of 
reorganization.

If a plan of reorganization is not 
confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court or 
the courts in the other jurisdictions in 
which we are subject to reorganization 
proceedings, or if we are unable to 
emerge from any of our reorganization 
proceedings, it is unclear whether or 
when we would be able to reorganize our 
business and what, if any, distributions 
holders of claims against us, including 
holders of our secured and unsecured 

Appendices

RISK FACTORS

debt and equity, would ultimately 
receive with respect to their claims. 
There can be no assurance as to 
whether or when we will successfully 
reorganize and emerge from our Chapter 
11 proceedings or, if we do successfully 
reorganize, as to when we would emerge 
from Chapter 11 proceedings. If no plan 
of reorganization can be confirmed, 
or the Bankruptcy Court finds that 
it would be in the best interest of 
creditors, the Bankruptcy Court may 
convert or dismiss our Chapter 11 
proceedings to cases under Chapter 7 
of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event of 
conversion, a Chapter 7 trustee would 
be appointed or elected to liquidate our 
assets for distribution in accordance 
with the priorities established by the 
Bankruptcy Code.

Any Chapter 11 plan of reorganization 
that we may implement will be based 
in large part upon assumptions and 
analyses developed by us. If these 
assumptions and analyses prove to be 
incorrect, our plan may be unsuccessful 
in its execution.

Any plan of reorganization we may 
implement could affect our capital 
structure and the ownership, structure 
and operation of the business and will 
reflect assumptions and analyses based 
on our experience and perception of 

historical trends, current conditions 
and expected future developments, as 
well as other factors that we consider 
appropriate under the circumstances. 
Whether actual future results and 
developments will be consistent with 
our expectations and assumptions 
depends on a number of factors, 
including but not limited to: (i) our 
ability to change substantially our 
capital structure, (ii) our ability to 
obtain adequate liquidity and access 
financing sources, (iii) our ability to 
maintain customers’ confidence in our 
viability as a going concern, (iv) our 
ability to retain key employees and 
(v) the overall strength and stability of 
general macroeconomic conditions. In 
light of the many uncertainties and risks 
deriving from developments relating 
to the spread of COVID-19 and new 
variants, these factors and their effect 
on us are highly unpredictable.

In addition, any Chapter 11 plan of 
reorganization will rely upon financial 
projections that are necessarily 
speculative, and it is possible that 
one or more of the assumptions and 
estimates that are the basis of these 
financial forecasts will not result as 
expected. In our case, the forecasts 
may be even more speculative 
than normal because of the many 
uncertainties we face relating to, among 

others, macroeconomic conditions 
in the countries in which the group 
operates, depressed demand for air 
travel and travel restrictions imposed 
by governments as a result of the 
COVID-19 pandemic, and the time and 
manner in which COVID-19 vaccines 
are distributed in the countries in 
which the group operates. Accordingly, 
our actual financial condition and 
results of operations could differ, 
perhaps materially, from what we 
have anticipated. Consequently, there 
can be no assurance that the results 
or developments contemplated by 
any plan of reorganization we may 
implement will occur or, even if they 
do occur, that they will have the 
anticipated effects on us or our business 
or operations. The failure of any such 
results or developments to materialize 
as anticipated could materially and 
adversely affect the successful 
execution of any plan of reorganization.

Upon emergence from a filing of 
voluntary relief under Chapter 11 of 
the Bankruptcy Code, our historical 
financial information may not be 
indicative of our future financial 
performance.

Our capital structure may be 
significantly altered under a plan 
of reorganization. Further, a plan of 

reorganization could materially change 
the amounts and classifications 
reported in our consolidated historical 
financial statements, which do not 
give effect to any adjustments to the 
carrying value of assets or amounts of 
liabilities that might be necessary as 
a consequence of confirmation of the 
reorganization plan.

Even if a Chapter 11 plan of 
reorganization is confirmed, we may not 
be able to achieve the effective date.

It is common for plans of reorganization 
to contain conditions precedent to 
effectiveness, such as obtaining 
government approvals, satisfying any 
conditions precedent in the exit facility 
and entry of an order approving the 
plan. Even upon confirmation of a plan, 
there can be no assurance as to when 
such conditions will be satisfied, if at all.

Operating in bankruptcy imposes 
significant risks on the Debtors’ 
operations. Although the Debtors 
believe that the effective date of the 
Plan will occur in the second half of 
2022, there can be no assurance as to 
such timing or that the conditions to 
the effective date will ever be satisfied, 
including without limitation: (i) entry of 
the confirmation order confirming the 
Plan by the Bankruptcy Court in form

and substance reasonably satisfactory 
to the Debtors, and not having been 
stayed or reversed or vacated on appeal 
and (ii) the satisfaction (or waiver in 
accordance with the terms therein) of 
the conditions precedent for the closing 
of the exit financing.

Chapter 11 proceedings. Our access to 
additional financing for the foreseeable 
future will likely continue to be limited, 
if it is available at all. Therefore, 
adequate funds may not be available 
when needed or may not be available on 
favorable terms.

Our Chapter 11 proceedings may 
adversely affect our ability to maintain 
important relationships with creditors, 
customers, suppliers, employees, 
financing sources and other personnel 
and counterparties, which could 
materially and adversely affect us.

Even if a Chapter 11 plan of 
reorganization is consummated, we may 
not be able to achieve our stated goals 
and continue as a going concern.

We may be subject to claims that 
will not be discharged in our Chapter 
11 proceedings, which could have a 
material adverse effect on our financial 
condition and results of operations. 

Even if a Chapter 11 plan of 
reorganization is consummated, we 
will continue to face a number of risks, 
including further depressed demand 
for air travel and challenging economic 
conditions as a result of developments 
relating to the spread of COVID-19 
or otherwise. Accordingly, we cannot 
guarantee that a Chapter 11 plan of 
reorganization will achieve our stated 
goals and permit us to effectively 
implement our strategy.

Furthermore, even if our debts are 
reduced or discharged through a plan 
of reorganization, we may need to 
raise additional funds through public 
or private debt or equity financing or 
other various means to fund the group’s 
business after the completion of our 

The Bankruptcy Code provides that 
the confirmation of a Chapter 11 
plan of reorganization discharges a 
debtor from substantially all debts 
arising prior to confirmation. With 
few exceptions, all claims that arose 
prior to confirmation of the plan of 
reorganization: (i) would be subject to 
compromise and/or treatment under 
the plan of reorganization and (ii) would 
be discharged in accordance with the 
Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the 
plan of reorganization. Any claims not 
ultimately discharged through a Chapter 
11 plan of reorganization could be 
asserted against the reorganized entities 
and may have an adverse effect on the 
business and financial condition and 
results of operations of the group on a 
post-reorganization basis.

Our Chapter 11 proceedings may 
adversely affect our commercial 
relationships and our ability to negotiate 
favorable terms with important 
stakeholders and counterparties, 
including potential sources of financing. 
Further, public perception of our 
continued viability may also adversely 
affect our relationships with customers 
and their loyalty to us. Strains in any 
of these relationships could materially 
and adversely affect us. In particular, 
critical suppliers, credit and debit 
card processors and acquirers, banks, 
export credit agencies, providers of 
letters of credit, surety bonds or similar 
instruments, vendors, lessors and 
customers may determine not to do 
business with us due to our Chapter 11 
proceedings. Also, during the pendency 
of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the 
court has stayed the enforcement of 
any payment toward debt obligations 
and we will need the prior approval of 
the Bankruptcy Court for transactions 
outside the ordinary course of business, 
which may limit our ability to respond 

timely to certain events or take 
advantage of certain opportunities.

There is uncertainty regarding our 
ability to continue as a going concern.

Our audited consolidated financial 
statements have been prepared on the 
basis of accounting principles applicable 
to a going concern. As discussed above, 
our ability to continue as a going 
concern is contingent upon, among other 
things, our ability to: (i) develop and 
successfully implement a restructuring 
plan within the timeframe required, (ii) 
reduce debt and other liabilities through 
the restructuring process, (iii) generate 
sufficient cash flow from operations and 
(iv) obtain financing sources to meet our 
future obligations. The accompanying 
consolidated financial statements also 
do not include any adjustments that 
might be necessary should we be unable 
to continue as a going concern.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMPANY

A pandemic or the widespread outbreak 
of contagious illnesses has had, and 
may continue to have, a material 
adverse effect on the group’s business 
and results of operations.

The widespread outbreak of a 
contagious illness such as the COVID-19

RISK FACTORS

pandemic, or fear of such an event, has 
materially reduced, and may continue 
to further reduce, demand for, and 
availability of, worldwide air travel and 
therefore is having a material adverse 
effect on the group’s business and 
results of operations.

The COVID-19 pandemic has 
negatively affected global economic 
conditions, disrupted supply chains and 
otherwise negatively impacted aircraft 
manufacturing operations and may 
reduce the availability of aircraft spare 
parts. The ultimate severity of the 
COVID-19 pandemic is uncertain at this 
time and therefore we cannot predict the 
impact it may have on the availability of 
aircraft or aircraft spare parts. However, 
the effect on our results may be material 
and adverse if supply chain disruptions 
persist and preclude our ability to 
adequately maintain our fleet.

The potential for a period of significantly 
reduced demand for travel has and will 
likely continue to result in significant 
lost revenue. As a result of these or 
other conditions beyond our control, 
our results of operations could continue 
to be volatile and subject to rapid and 
unexpected change. In addition, if the 
spread of COVID-19 were to continue 
unabated, our operations could also be 
negatively affected if employees are 

quarantined as the result of exposure to 
the contagious illness. We cannot fully 
predict the impact that the COVID-19 
pandemic will continue to have on 
global air travel, corporate travel, and 
the extent to which it may impact the 
demand for air travel in the regions in 
which the group operates. Continued 
government-imposed travel restrictions, 
border closures or operational issues 
resulting from the rapid spread of 
COVID-19 or other contagious illnesses, 
all of which may be unpredictable, 
may materially reduce demand for air 
travel in parts of the world in which we 
have significant operations and could 
have lasting impacts on how people do 
business and the need or demand for 
business travel. In addition, the pace of 
the COVID-19 vaccine rollout globally 
may materially impact our operations. 
These measures and issues have had 
and could continue to have a material 
adverse effect on the group’s business 
and results of operations.

It is possible that in spite of mitigation 
measures in place, COVID-19 or other 
diseases could be transmitted to 
passengers or employees on our aircraft 
or at an airport, which could lead to 
reputational and/or financial impacts.

The health safety and sanitation 
measures we have implemented as a 

group may not be sufficient to prevent 
the spread or contagion of COVID-19 
or other infectious diseases to our 
passengers or employees on our aircraft 
or the airports in which we operate, 
which could result in adverse reputational 
and financial impacts for the group. For 
further information on the health safety 
and sanitation measures implemented by 
the group, see section Safety. However, 
it is possible that these measures could 
prove insufficient and COVID-19 or 
other diseases could be transmitted to 
passengers or employees in an airport or 
on an aircraft.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, 
the airline industry may experience 
consumer behavior changes with regard 
to corporate travel, long-haul travel, 
and travel demand.

The potential for mid- to long-term 
changes to consumer behavior resulting 
from the COVID-19 pandemic exists 
and could lead to adverse financial 
impacts for the Company. Corporate 
travel has been hindered, and in many 
cases, prohibited by companies due to 
risks during the pandemic. At this time, 
it is not possible to predict the potential 
consequences of the increased use of 
technology as a substitute for travel and 
whether or when corporate travel, long-
haul travel and travel demand could 

return to the levels existing prior to 
the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, 
travelers may be less prone to travel 
or be more price conscious and may 
choose low-cost alternatives as a result 
of the COVID-19 pandemic.

A failure to successfully implement the 
group’s strategy or a failure to adjust 
such strategy to the current economic 
situation would harm the group’s 
business and the market value of our 
ADSs and common shares.

We have developed a strategic plan 
with the goal of becoming one of the 
most admired airlines in the world and 
renewing our commitment to sustained 
profitability and superior returns to 
shareholders. Our strategy requires 
us to identify value propositions that 
are attractive to our clients, to find 
efficiencies in our daily operations, 
and to transform ourselves into a 
stronger and more risk-resilient 
company. A tenet of our strategic 
plan is the continuing adoption of a 
new travel model for domestic and 
international services to address the 
changing dynamics of customers 
and the industry, and to increase our 
competitiveness. The new travel model 
is based on a continued reduction in air 
fares that makes air travel accessible 
to a wider audience, and in particular to

those who wish to fly more frequently. 
This model requires continued cost 
reduction efforts and increasing 
revenues from ancillary activities. In 
connection with these efforts, the 
Company continues to implement a 
series of initiatives to reduce cost 
per ASK in all its operations as well 
as developing new ancillary revenue 
initiatives.

Difficulties in implementing our strategy 
may adversely affect the group’s business, 
results of operation and the market value 
of our ADSs and common shares.

Our financial results are exposed to 
foreign currency fluctuations.

We prepare and present our 
consolidated financial statements in 
U.S. dollars. LATAM and its affiliates 
operate in numerous countries and face 
the risk of variation in foreign currency 
exchange rates against the U.S. dollar or 
between the currencies of these various 
countries. Changes in the exchange 
rate between the U.S. dollar and the 
currencies in the countries in which 
the group operates could adversely 
affect the business, financial condition 
and results of operations. If the value 
of the Brazilian real, Chilean peso or 
other currencies in which revenues are 
denominated declines against the U.S. 

dollar, our results of operations and 
financial condition will be affected. 
The exchange rate of the Chilean peso, 
Brazilian real and other currencies 
against the U.S. dollar may fluctuate 
significantly in the future.

Changes in Chilean, Brazilian and 
other governmental economic policies 
affecting foreign exchange rates could 
also adversely affect the business, 
financial condition, results of operations 
and the return to our shareholders on 
their common shares or ADSs.

The group depends on strategic alliances 
or commercial relationships in many 
different countries, and the business 
may suffer if any of our strategic 
alliances or commercial relationships 
terminates.

We maintain a number of alliances and 
other commercial relationships in many 
of the jurisdictions in which LATAM and 
its affiliates operate. These alliances 
or commercial relationships allow us 
to enhance our network and, in some 
cases, to offer our customers services 
that we could not otherwise offer. If any 
of our strategic alliances or commercial 
relationships deteriorate, or any of these 
agreements are terminated, the group’s 
business, financial condition and results of 
operations could be adversely affected.

The group’s business and results of 
operations may suffer if we fail to 
obtain and maintain routes, suitable 
airport access, slots and other operating 
permits. Also, technical and operational 
problems with the airport infrastructure 
of cities in which we have a focus may 
have a material adverse effect on us.

LATAM’s business depends upon our 
access to key routes and airports. 
Bilateral aviation agreements between 
countries, open skies laws and local 
aviation approvals frequently involve 
political and other considerations 
outside of our control. The group’s 
operations could be constrained by any 
delay or inability to gain access to key 
routes or airports, including:

•  limitations on our ability to transport 

more passengers;

•  the imposition of flight capacity 

restrictions;

•  the inability to secure or maintain 

route rights in local markets or under 
bilateral agreements; or

•  the inability to maintain our existing 
slots and obtain additional slots.

The group operates numerous 
international routes subject to bilateral 

agreements, as well as domestic flights 
within Chile, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador and 
Colombia, subject to local route and 
airport access approvals.

There can be no assurance that existing 
bilateral agreements with the countries 
in which the group’s companies are 
based and permits from foreign 
governments will continue to be in 
effect. A modification, suspension or 
revocation of one or more bilateral 
agreements could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition and results of operations. 
The suspension of our permission 
to operate at certain airports, 
destinations or slots, or the imposition 
of other sanctions could also have a 
material adverse effect. A change in 
the administration of current laws and 
regulations or the adoption of new laws 
and regulations in any of the countries 
in which the group operates that 
restrict our routes, airports or other 
access may have a material adverse 
effect on our business, financial 
condition and results of operations.

Moreover, our operations and growth 
strategy are dependent on the facilities 
and infrastructure of key airports, 
including Santiago’s International Airport, 
São Paulo’s Guarulhos International 
and Congonhas Airports, Brasilia’s

International Airport and Lima’s Jorge 
Chavez International Airport. Airports 
may face challenges to meet their capex 
programs, after suffering significant 
financial deterioration stemming from 
the COVID-19 pandemic. Delays or 
cancellations of capex programs could 
impact our operations or ability to grow 
in the future.

Santiago’s Comodoro Arturo Merino 
Benítez International Airport is 
undergoing an important expansion, 
which was expected to be completed 
by 2021, but opened in February 2022. 
There is currently a dispute between the 
airport operator and the government 
arising from the impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic and deceleration of airport 
operations on revenues, which placed 
additional stress on the operator’s 
liquidity in light of ongoing investments 
required for the expansion project. In 
order to mitigate the impact of the 
financial loss, the current operator 
is requesting an extension of the 
concession period, which expires in 2035. 
This dispute implies a risk to future opex 
and capex investments and adverse 
effects to the airport’s operations.

Santiago’s Comodoro Arturo Merino 
Benítez International Airport opened 
its expansion at the end of February 
2022. One of the most challenging 

issues with the new terminal is that 
the check-in process considers a 50% 
reduction in assisted check-in counters, 
which obligates airlines to implement 
self-service models, where the success 
depends on the companies but is 
also associated with the government 
restrictions of the destination country.

One of the major operational risks we 
have faced on a daily basis at Lima’s 
Jorge Chavez International Airport is the 
limited number of parking positions. 
Additionally, the indoor infrastructure of 
the airport limits our ability to manage 
connections and launch new flights 
due to the lack of gates and increasing 
security and immigration controls. 
Lima’s Jorge Chavez International Airport 
is currently undergoing an expansion, 
which is expected to be completed by 
2024. Any delays or limitations due 
to the ongoing works could negatively 
impact our operations, limit our ability 
to grow and affect our competitiveness 
in the country and in the region.

Brazilian airports, such as the Brasilia 
and São Paulo (Guarulhos) International 
Airports, have limited the number of 
takeoff and landing slots per day due 
to infrastructural limitations.] Any 
condition that would prevent or delay 
our access to airports or routes that 
are vital to our strategy, or our ability 

to maintain our existing slots and 
obtain additional slots, could materially 
adversely affect our operations.

One of the largest operational risks 
that the El Dorado International Airport 
in Bogotá faces is the limited capacity 
that it has during certain time periods 
due to the adverse weather conditions, 
the operation of non-regular flights 
and the lack of availability of slots. 
As a result, measures have been 
implemented to mitigate and regulate 
the operation, such as Ground Stop and 
Ground Delay Program (GDP Program), 
which generates delays controlled by 
the control tower. Another issue faced 
at the El Dorado International Airport 
is delays by ATC of the control tower 
in connection with the GDP Program. 
These delays occur particularly in 
certain time periods with high traffic 
and are associated with non-regular 
flight operation, emergency flights, 
lower performance planes, all of which 
lower the airport’s capacity. However, 
the El Dorado Airport, its concessionaire, 
Opain S.A., and the relevant authorities 
are working on the ACDM (Airport 
Collaborative Decision Making) project 
which seeks to optimize the airport’s 
resources, involving all the industry’s 
players by understanding their needs, 
in order to achieve a more controlled 
operation with less schedule delays.

A significant portion of our cargo 
revenue comes from relatively few 
product types and may be impacted by 
events affecting their production, trade 
or demand.

The group’s cargo demand, especially 
from Latin American exporters, is 
concentrated in a small number of 
product categories, such as exports of 
fish, sea products and fruits from Chile, 
asparagus from Peru and fresh flowers 
from Ecuador and Colombia. Events 
that adversely affect the production, 
trade or demand for these goods may 
adversely affect the volume of goods 
that are transported and may have a 
significant impact on the results of 
operations. Future trade protection 
measures by or against the countries 
for which we provide cargo services may 
have an impact on cargo traffic volumes 
and adversely affect our financial 
results. Some of the cargo products 
are sensitive to foreign exchange rates 
and, therefore, traffic volumes could 
be impacted by the appreciation or 
depreciation of local currencies.

Our operations are subject to fluctuations 
in the supply and cost of jet fuel, which 
could adversely impact our business.

Higher jet fuel prices could have a 
materially adverse effect on our

business, financial condition and results 
of operations. Jet fuel costs have 
historically accounted for a significant 
amount of our operating expenses, 
and accounted for 30.0% of our total 
costs of sales in 2021. Both the cost 
and availability of fuel are subject to 
many economic and political factors 
and events that we can neither control 
nor predict, including international 
political and economic circumstances 
such as the political instability in major 
oil-exporting countries. Any future 
fuel supply shortage (for example, as a 
result of production curtailments by the 
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting 
Countries, or “OPEC”), a disruption of 
oil imports, supply disruptions resulting 
from severe weather or natural disasters, 
labor actions such as the 2018 trucking 
strike in Brazil, the conflict in Ukraine or 
other events could result in higher fuel 
prices or reductions in scheduled airline 
services. We cannot ensure that we 
would be able to offset any increases 
in the price. In addition, lower fuel 
prices may result in lower fares through 
the reduction or elimination of fuel 
surcharges. We have entered into fuel 
hedging arrangements, but there can be 
no assurance that such arrangements 
will be adequate to protect us from an 
increase in fuel prices in the near future 
or in the long term. Also, while these 
hedging arrangements are designed to 

limit the effect of an increase in fuel 
prices, our hedging methods may also 
limit our ability to take advantage of any 
decrease in fuel prices, as was the case in 
2015 and, to a lesser extent, in 2016.

We rely on maintaining a high aircraft 
utilization rate to increase our revenues 
and absorb our fixed costs, which makes 
us especially vulnerable to delays.

Generally, a key element of our strategy is 
to maintain a high daily aircraft utilization 
rate, which measures the number of hours 
we use our aircraft per day. High daily 
aircraft utilization allows us to maximize 
the amount of revenue we generate from 
our aircraft and absorb the fixed costs 
associated with our fleet and is achieved, 
in part, by reducing turnaround times 
at airports and developing schedules 
that enable us to increase the average 
hours flown per day. Our rate of aircraft 
utilization could be adversely affected 
by a number of different factors that are 
beyond our control, including air traffic 
and airport congestion, adverse weather 
conditions, unanticipated maintenance 
and delays by third-party service 
providers relating to matters such as 
fueling, catering and ground handling. 
If aircrafts fall behind schedule, the 
resulting delays could cause a disruption 
in our operating performance and have a 
financial impact on our results.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic 
and the decrease in operations, the 
turnaround times between flights 
have increased to allow for the 
incorporation of numerous changes to 
the operation, such as increased aircraft 
sanitization and adjusted embarking 
and disembarking procedures. This 
increase in turnaround times has a direct 
impact on our utilization rate. As LATAM 
recovers its operations, both domestic 
and international, the turnaround times 
between flights is expected to decrease 
and the aircraft utilization is expected 
to increase. Further, as a result of our 
Chapter 11 proceedings, the majority of 
LATAM’s fleet is operating on a payment 
by use (or Power By Hour, “PBH”) 
plan, thus turning the once fixed costs 
into variable costs that are not easily 
absorbed through higher utilization.

LATAM flies and depends upon Airbus 
and Boeing aircraft, and our business 
could suffer if we do not receive timely 
deliveries of aircraft, if aircraft from these 
companies become unavailable or if the 
public negatively perceives our aircraft.

As of December 31, 2021, LATAM Airlines 
Group has a total fleet of 238 Airbus 
and 72 Boeing aircraft (six of these B767 
aircraft were classified as non-current 
assets available for sale). Risks relating 
to Airbus and Boeing include:

•  our failure or inability to obtain Airbus 
or Boeing aircraft, parts or related 
support services on a timely basis 
because of high demand, aircraft 
delivery backlog or other factors;

•  the interruption of fleet service 
as a result of unscheduled or 
unanticipated maintenance 
requirements for these aircraft;

•  the issuance by the Chilean or other 
aviation authorities of directives 
restricting or prohibiting the use 
of our Airbus or Boeing aircraft, or 
requiring time-consuming inspections 
and maintenance;

•  adverse public perception of a 

manufacturer as a result of safety 
concerns, negative publicity or other 
problems, whether real or perceived, 
in the event of an accident; 

•  delays between the time we realize 

the need for new aircraft and the time 
it takes us to arrange for Airbus and 
Boeing or for a third-party provider to 
deliver this aircraft; or

•  the delay, for any reason, to conclude 
cabin upgrade projects that could 
result in aircraft unavailability for a 
certain period of time.

RISK FACTORS

The occurrence of any one or more of 
these factors could restrict our ability 
to use aircraft to generate profits, 
respond to increased demands, or could 
otherwise limit our operations and 
adversely affect our business. In the 
context of our Chapter 11 proceedings, 
certain of our agreements with suppliers 
may be rejected.

If we are unable to incorporate leased 
aircraft into the fleet at acceptable 
rates and terms in the future, our 
business could be adversely affected.

A large portion of the aircraft fleet is 
subject to long-term leases. The leases 
typically run from three to 12 years 
from the date of execution. We may 
face more competition for, or a limited 
supply of, leased aircraft, making it 
difficult to negotiate on competitive 
terms upon expiration of the current 
leases or to lease additional capacity 
required for the targeted level of 
operations. If we are forced to pay 
higher lease rates in the future to 
maintain our capacity and the number 
of aircraft in the fleet, our profitability 
could be adversely affected.

Furthermore, through LATAM’s 
emergence from Chapter 11 
proceedings, we will need Bankruptcy 
Court approval for certain lease 

transactions, which may delay or further 
complicate negotiations ultimately 
limiting our ability to take advantage of 
favorable market conditions.

Our business may be adversely affected 
if we are unable to service our debt or 
meet our future financing requirements.

We have a high degree of debt and 
payment obligations under our aircraft 
leases and financial debt arrangements. 
We require significant amounts of 
financing to meet our aircraft capital 
requirements and may require additional 
financing to fund our other business 
needs. We cannot guarantee that we 
will have access to or be able to arrange 
for financing in the future on favorable 
terms. Higher financing costs could 
affect our ability to expand or renew 
our fleet, which in turn could adversely 
affect our business.

In addition, a substantial portion of our 
property and equipment is subject to 
liens securing our indebtedness, including 
our debtor-in-possession financing. In 
the event that we fail to make payments 
on our debtor-in-possession financing 
or other secured indebtedness, creditors’ 
enforcement of liens could limit or end 
our ability to use the affected property 
and equipment to fulfill our operational 
needs and thus generate revenue.

Moreover, external conditions in the 
financial and credit markets may limit 
the availability of funding or increase its 
costs, which could adversely affect our 
profitability, our competitive position 
and result in lower net interest margins, 
earnings and cash flows, as well as 
lower returns on shareholders’ equity 
and invested capital. Factors that may 
affect the availability of funding or 
cause an increase in our funding costs 
include global macro-economic crises, 
reductions in our credit rating or in that 
of our issuances, and other potential 
market disruptions.

We have significant exposure to 
LIBOR and other floating interest 
rates; increases in interest rates will 
increase our financing cost and may 
have adverse effects on our financial 
condition and results of operations.

We are exposed to the risk of interest 
rate variations, principally in relation to 
the U.S. dollar London Interbank Offer 
Rate (“LIBOR”). Many of our financial 
leases are denominated in U.S. dollars 
and bear interest at a floating rate. 
As of December 31, 2021, 57% of our 
outstanding consolidated debt bears 
interest at a floating rate (and 61% 
taking into account the US$662.3 
million in DIP financing provided by 
Related Parties). Volatility in LIBOR or 

other reference rates could increase our 
periodic interest and lease payments 
and have an adverse effect on our total 
financing costs. We may be unable to 
adequately adjust our prices to offset 
any increased financing costs, which 
would have an adverse effect on our 
results of operations.

On July 27, 2017, the head of the 
United Kingdom Financial Conduct 
Authority (“FCA”) (the authority that 
regulates LIBOR) announced that it 
intends to stop compelling banks 
to submit rates for the calculation 
of LIBOR after 2021. On March 5, 
2021 the FCA announced in a public 
statement that LIBOR for certain 
tenors would cease to be published on 
June 30, 2023. The Federal Reserve 
Board and the Federal Reserve Bank 
of New York convened the Alternative 
Reference Rates Committee (ARRC), a 
group of private-market participants, 
to help ensure a successful transition 
from U.S. dollar (USD) LIBOR to a more 
robust reference rate, its recommended 
alternative, the Secured Overnight 
Financing Rate (SOFR). Although 
the adoption of SOFR is voluntary, 
the impending discontinuation of 
LIBOR makes it essential that market 
participants consider moving to 
alternative rates such as SOFR and 
that they have appropriate fallback

language in existing contracts 
referencing LIBOR. In this regard, our 
derivative and debt contracts may be 
affected by the change in the relevant 
rate. Because the publication of LIBOR 
will cease for June 2023, we have 
begun to migrate to the adoption of 
SOFR as an alternative rate, which will 
materialize with the termination of 
LIBOR. The impact of such a transition 
away from LIBOR could be significant 
for us because of our substantial 
indebtedness.

Increases in insurance costs and/or 
significant reductions in coverage could 
harm our financial condition and results 
of operations.

Significant events affecting the aviation 
insurance industry (such as terrorist 
attacks, airline crashes or accidents 
and health epidemics and the related 
widespread government-imposed travel 
restrictions) may result in significant 
increases of airlines’ insurance 
premiums and/or relevant decreases 
of insurance coverage. Further 
increases in insurance costs and/
or reductions in available insurance 
coverage could have a material impact 
on our financial results, change the 
insurance strategy, and also increase 
the risk of uncovered losses.

Problems with air traffic control 
systems or other technical failures could 
interrupt our operations and have a 
material adverse effect on our business.

The operations, including the ability 
to deliver customer service, are 
dependent on the effective operation 
of the equipment, including aircraft, 
maintenance systems and reservation 
systems. The operations are also 
dependent on the effective operation 
of domestic and international air 
traffic control systems and the air 
traffic control infrastructure by the 
corresponding authorities in the 
markets in which the group operates. 
Equipment failures, personnel 
shortages, air traffic control problems 
and other factors that could interrupt 
operations could affect our financial 
results as well as our reputation.

We depend on a limited number of 
suppliers for certain aircraft and 
engine parts.

We depend on a limited number of 
suppliers for aircraft, aircraft engines 
and many aircraft and engine parts. As 
a result, we are vulnerable to problems 
associated with the supply of those 
aircraft, parts and engines, including 
design defects, mechanical problems, 
contractual performance by the suppliers, 

or adverse perception by the public that 
would result in unscheduled maintenance 
requirements, in customer avoidance 
or in actions by the aviation authorities 
resulting in an inability to operate our 
aircraft. During the year 2021, LATAM 
Airline Group’s main suppliers were 
aircraft manufacturers Airbus and Boeing.

In addition to Airbus and Boeing, LATAM 
Airlines has a number of other suppliers, 
primarily related to aircraft accessories, 
spare parts, and components, including 
Pratt & Whitney, MTU Maintenance, 
Rolls-Royce, General Electric, Pratt & 
Whitney Canada, CMF International and 
Honeywell, among others.

In the context of our Chapter 11 
proceedings, certain of our agreements 
with suppliers may be rejected.

Our business relies extensively on 
third-party service providers. Failure of 
these parties to perform as expected, or 
interruptions in our relationships with 
these providers or in their provision of 
services to us, could have an adverse 
effect on our financial position and 
results of operations.

We have engaged a significant number 
of third-party service providers to 
perform a large number of functions 
that are integral to our business, 

including regional operations, operation 
of customer service call centers, 
distribution and sale of airline seat 
inventory, provision of technology 
infrastructure and services, performance 
of business processes, including 
purchasing and cash management, 
provision of aircraft maintenance 
and repairs, catering, ground services, 
and provision of various utilities 
and performance of aircraft fueling 
operations, among other vital functions 
and services. We do not directly control 
these third-party service providers, 
although we do enter into agreements 
with many of them that define expected 
service performance. Any of these 
third-party service providers, however, 
may materially fail to meet their service 
performance commitments, may suffer 
disruptions to their systems that could 
impact their services, or the agreements 
with such providers may be terminated. 
For example, flight reservations 
booked by customers and/or travel 
agencies via third-party GDSs (Global 
Distribution Systems) may be adversely 
affected by disruptions in our business 
relationships with GDS operators or by 
issues in the GDS’s operations. Such 
disruptions, including a failure to agree 
upon acceptable contract terms when 
contracts expire or otherwise become 
subject to renegotiation, may cause the 
carriers’ flight information to be limited

or unavailable for display, significantly 
increase fees for both us and GDS 
users, and impair our relationships 
with customers and travel agencies. 
The failure of any of our third-party 
service providers to adequately perform 
their service obligations, or other 
interruptions of services, may reduce 
our revenues and increase our expenses 
or prevent us from operating our flights 
and providing other services to our 
customers. In addition, our business, 
financial performance and reputation 
could be materially harmed if our 
customers believe that our services 
are unreliable or unsatisfactory. In the 
context of our Chapter 11 proceedings, 
certain of our agreements with 
suppliers and third-party contractors 
may be rejected.

Disruptions or security breaches of our 
information technology infrastructure 
or systems could interfere with the 
operations, compromise passenger or 
employee information, and expose us to 
liability, possibly causing our business 
and reputation to suffer.

A serious internal technology error, 
failure, or cybersecurity incident 
impacting systems hosted internally 
at our data centers, externally at third-
party locations or cloud providers, or 
large-scale interruption in technology 

infrastructure we depend on, such as 
power, telecommunications or the 
internet, may disrupt our technology 
network with potential impact on our 
operations. Our technology systems 
and related data may also be vulnerable 
to a variety of sources of interruption, 
including natural disasters, terrorist 
attacks, telecommunications failures, 
computer viruses, cyber-attacks, 
security breaches in the supply chain 
(suppliers) and other security issues. 
These systems include our computerized 
airline reservation system, flight 
operations system, telecommunications 
systems, website, customer, self-service 
applications (“apps”), maintenance 
systems, check-in kiosks, in-flight 
entertainment systems and data centers.

In addition, as a part of our ordinary 
business operations, we collect 
and store sensitive data, including 
personal information of our customers 
and employees and information of 
our business partners. The secure 
operation of the networks and systems 
on which this type of information is 
stored, processed and maintained 
is critical to our business operations 
and strategy. Unauthorized parties 
may attempt to gain access to our 
systems or information through fraud, 
deception, or cybersecurity incidents. 
Hardware or software we develop or 

acquire may contain defects that could 
unexpectedly compromise information 
security. The compromise of our 
technology systems resulting in the 
loss, disclosure, misappropriation of, 
or access to, customers’, employees’ or 
business partners’ information could 
result in legal claims or proceedings, 
liability or regulatory penalties 
under laws protecting the privacy of 
personal information, disruption to 
our operations and damage to our 
reputation, any or all of which could 
adversely affect our business.

Rapid technological advancements and 
digitalization could generate risks in 
implementation and regulatory control.

Globally, there have been large advances 
in processes of digitization and 
technological innovation, some of them 
as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. 
These new technologies could generate 
new risks in their implementation that 
could impact us directly or indirectly. As 
an example, the implementation of 5G 
in the United States had a temporary 
impact on operations at certain airports 
and generated a review by the FAA 
on the specific requirements for its 
implementation. This risk is involved 
in all processes of digitization and 
technological innovation. 

Similarly, other technologies or the 
environment of rapidly increasing 
technological transformation may 
advance faster than the review and 
control capacity of the authorities or the 
knowledge or effects of their possible 
impacts, which could affect us directly 
or indirectly in ways we cannot foresee. 

Increases in our labor costs, which 
constitute a substantial portion of our 
total operating expenses, could directly 
impact our earnings.

Labor costs constitute a significant 
percentage of our total cost of sales 
(15.4% in 2021) and at times in our 
operating history we have experienced 
pressure to increase wages and benefits 
for our employees. A significant increase 
in our labor costs could result in a 
material reduction in our earnings.

Collective action by employees could 
cause operating disruptions and 
adversely impact our business.

Certain employee groups such as pilots, 
flight attendants, mechanics and our airport 
personnel have highly specialized skills. As 
a consequence, actions by these groups, 
such as strikes, walk-outs or stoppages, 
could severely disrupt operations and 
adversely impact our operating and financial 
performance, as well as our image.

RISK FACTORS

A strike, work interruption or 
stoppage or any prolonged dispute 
with employees who are represented 
by any of these unions could have 
an adverse impact on operations. 
These risks are typically exacerbated 
during periods of renegotiation 
with the unions, which typically 
occurs every two to four years 
depending on the jurisdiction and the 
union. Any renegotiated collective 
bargaining agreement could feature 
significant wage increases and a 
consequent increase in our operating 
expenses. Any failure to reach an 
agreement during negotiations with 
unions may require us to enter into 
arbitration proceedings, use financial 
and management resources, and 
potentially agree to terms that are 
less favorable to us than our existing 
agreements. Employees who are not 
currently members of unions may 
also form new unions that may seek 
further wage increases or benefits.

Our business may experience adverse 
consequences if we are unable to reach 
satisfactory collective bargaining 
agreements with unionized employees.

As of December 31, 2021, approximately 
44% of the group’s employees, including 
administrative personnel, cabin crew, 
flight attendants, pilots and maintenance 

technicians are members of unions and 
have contracts and collective bargaining 
agreements which expire on a regular 
basis. The business, financial condition 
and results of operations could be 
materially adversely affected by a failure 
to reach agreement with any labor union 
representing such employees or by 
an agreement with a labor union that 
contains terms that are not in line  
with expectations or that prevent  
the group from competing effectively 
with other airlines.

LATAM may experience difficulty finding, 
training and retaining employees.

The business is labor intensive. The 
group employs a large number of 
pilots, flight attendants, maintenance 
technicians and other operating 
and administrative personnel. The 
airline industry has, from time to 
time, experienced a shortage of 
qualified personnel, especially pilots 
and maintenance technicians, which 
has somewhat intensified during 
the recovery phase of air traffic 
following the peak of the pandemic. 
Such shortage of qualified personnel 
is further exacerbated as a result 
of our Chapter 11 proceedings, and 
extends to non-flight personnel. In 
addition, as is common with most 
of our competitors, the group may, 

from time to time, face considerable 
turnover of our employees. Should 
turnover of employees, particularly 
pilots and maintenance technicians, 
sharply increase, our training costs 
will be significantly higher. LATAM 
cannot assure that it will be able to 
recruit, train and retain the managers, 
pilots, technicians and other qualified 
employees that are needed to continue 
the current operations or replace 
departing employees. An increase 
in turnover or failure to recruit, train 
and retain qualified employees at 
a reasonable cost could materially 
adversely affect the business, financial 
condition, and results of operations. As 
a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings, 
the group may experience increased 
levels of employee attrition. A loss 
of key personnel or material erosion 
of employee morale could impair 
the ability to execute strategy and 
implement operational initiatives, 
thereby adversely affecting the group.

RISKS RELATING TO THE AIRLINE 
INDUSTRY AND THE COUNTRIES IN 
WHICH THE GROUP OPERATES

Our performance is heavily dependent 
on economic conditions in the countries in 
which the group does business. Negative 
economic conditions in those countries 
could adversely impact the group’s 

business and results of operations and 
cause the market price of our common 
shares and ADSs to decrease.

Passenger and cargo demand is heavily 
cyclical and highly dependent on global 
and local economic growth, economic 
expectations and foreign exchange 
rate variations, among other things. 
In the past, our business has been 
adversely affected by global economic 
recessionary conditions, weak economic 
growth in Chile, recessions in Brazil 
and Argentina, and poor economic 
performance in certain emerging market 
countries in which the group operates. 
The occurrence of similar events in 
the future could adversely affect our 
business. The group plans to continue 
to expand operations based in Latin 
America, which means that performance 
will continue to depend heavily on 
economic conditions in the region.

Any of the following factors could 
adversely affect the business, financial 
condition and results of operations in the 
countries in which the group operates:

•  changes in economic or other 

governmental policies;

•  changes in regulatory, legal or 

administrative practices;

Appendices

154

Integrated Report 2021Our business
FINANCIAL RESULTS

RISK FACTORS

•  weak economic performance, 
including, but not limited to, a 
slowdown in the Brazilian economy, 
political instability, low economic 
growth, low consumption and/or 
investment rates, and increased 
inflation rates; or

•  other political or economic 

developments over which we have 
no control.

No assurance can be given that capacity 
reductions or other steps the group may 
take in response to weakened demand 
will be adequate to offset any future 
reduction in cargo and/or air travel 
demand in markets in which the group 
operates. Sustained weak demand may 
adversely impact our revenues, results 
of operations or financial condition.

An adverse economic environment, 
whether global, regional or in a particular 
country, could result in a reduction in 
passenger traffic, as well as a reduction 
in the cargo business, and could also 
impact the ability to set fares, which 
in turn would materially and negatively 
affect our financial condition and results 
of operations.

We are exposed to increases in landing 
fees and other airport service charges 
that could adversely affect our margin 

and competitive position. Also, it cannot 
be assured that in the future we will 
have access to adequate facilities and 
landing rights necessary to achieve our 
expansion plans.

The group must pay fees to airport 
operators for the use of their facilities. 
Any substantial increase in airport 
charges, including at Guarulhos 
International Airport in São Paulo, 
Jorge Chavez International Airport 
in Lima or Comodoro Arturo Merino 
Benitez International Airport in 
Santiago, could have a material 
adverse impact on our results of 
operations. Passenger taxes and 
airport charges have increased 
substantially in recent years. We 
cannot assure that the airports in 
which the group operates will not 
increase or maintain high passenger 
taxes and service charges in the 
future. Any such increases could have 
an adverse effect on our financial 
condition and results of operations.

Certain airports that we serve (or that 
we plan to serve in the future) are 
subject to capacity constraints and 
impose various restrictions, including 
takeoff and landing slot restrictions 
during certain periods of the day and 
limits on aircraft noise levels. We 
cannot be certain that the group will 

be able to obtain a sufficient number 
of slots, gates and other facilities at 
airports to expand services in line with 
our growth strategy. It is also possible 
that airports not currently subject to 
capacity constraints may become so 
in the future. In addition, an airline 
must use its slots on a regular and 
timely basis or risk having those slots 
re-allocated to others. Where slots or 
other airport resources are not available 
or their availability is restricted in some 
way, the group may have to amend 
schedules, change routes or reduce 
aircraft utilization. It is also possible 
that aviation authorities in the countries 
in which the group operates, change the 
rules for the assignment of takeoff and 
landing slots, as was the case with the 
São Paulo airport (Congonhas) in 2019 
where the slots previously operated 
by Avianca Brazil were reassigned. Any 
of these alternatives could have an 
adverse financial impact on operations. 
We cannot ensure that airports at which 
there are no such restrictions may not 
implement restrictions in the future 
or that, where such restrictions exist, 
they may not become more onerous. 
Such restrictions may limit our ability 
to continue to provide or to increase 
services at such airports.

The business is highly regulated and 
changes in the regulatory environment 
in the different countries may 
adversely affect our business and 
results of operations.

Our business is highly regulated 
and depends substantially upon 
the regulatory environment in the 
countries in which the group operates 
or intends to operate. For example, 
price controls on fares may limit our 
ability to effectively apply customer 
segmentation profit maximization 
techniques (“passenger revenue 
management”) and adjust prices to 
reflect cost pressures. High levels 
of government regulation may limit 
the scope of our operations and our 
growth plans. The possible failure of 
aviation authorities to maintain the 
required governmental authorizations, 
or our failure to comply with applicable 
regulations, may adversely affect our 
business and results of operations.

Our business, financial condition, 
results of operations and the price 
of common shares and ADSs may be 
adversely affected by changes in policy 
or regulations at the federal, state 
or municipal level in the countries in 
which the group operates, involving or 
affecting factors such as:

RISK FACTORS

•  interest rates;

•  currency fluctuations;

•  monetary policies;

•  inflation;

•  liquidity of capital and lending 

markets;

•  tax and social security policies;

•  labor regulations;

•  energy and water shortages and 

rationing; and

•  other political, social and economic 
developments in or affecting Brazil, 
Chile, Peru, and the United States, 
among others.

For example, the Brazilian federal 
government has frequently intervened 
in the domestic economy and made 
drastic changes in policy and regulations 
to control inflation and affect other 
policies and regulations. This has 
required the federal government to 
increase interest rates, change taxes 
and social security policies, implement 
price controls, currency exchange and 
remittance controls, devaluations, 
capital controls and limits on imports.

Uncertainty over whether the Brazilian 
federal government will implement 
changes in policy or regulation affecting 
these or other factors may contribute 
to economic uncertainty in Brazil and 
to heightened volatility in the Brazilian 
securities markets and securities 
issued abroad by Brazilian companies. 
These and other developments in the 
Brazilian economy and governmental 
policies may adversely affect us and our 
business and results of operations and 
may adversely affect the trading price of 
our common shares and ADSs.

We are also subject to international 
bilateral air transport agreements that 
provide for the exchange of air traffic 
rights between the countries where the 
group operates, and we must obtain 
permission from the applicable foreign 
governments to provide service to 
foreign destinations. There can be no 
assurance that such existing bilateral 
agreements will continue, or that we will 
be able to obtain more route rights under 
those agreements to accommodate our 
future expansion plans. Certain bilateral 
agreements also include provisions that 
require substantial ownership or effective 
control. Any modification, suspension 
or revocation of one or more bilateral 
agreements could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition and results of operations. The 

suspension of our permits to operate 
to certain airports or destinations, 
the inability for us to obtain favorable 
take-off and landing authorizations 
at certain high-density airports or the 
imposition of other sanctions could also 
have a negative impact on our business. 
We cannot be certain that a change in 
ownership or effective control or in a 
foreign government’s administration 
of current laws and regulations or the 
adoption of new laws and regulations will 
not have a material adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition and results 
of operations.

Losses and liabilities in the event of an 
accident involving one or more of our aircraft 
could materially affect our business.

We are exposed to potential 
catastrophic losses in the event of an 
aircraft accident, terrorist incident or 
any other similar event. There can be no 
assurance that, as a result of an aircraft 
accident or significant incident:

•  we will not need to increase our 

insurance coverage;

•  our insurance premiums will not 

increase significantly;

•  we will not be forced to bear 

substantial losses.

Substantial claims resulting from an 
accident or significant incident in excess 
of our related insurance coverage could 
have a material adverse effect on our 
business, financial condition and results 
of operations. Moreover, any aircraft 
accident, even if fully insured, could 
cause the negative public perception 
that our operations or aircraft are less 
safe or reliable than those operated 
by other airlines, or by other flight 
operators, which could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial 
condition and results of operations.

Insurance premiums may also increase due 
to an accident or incident affecting one of 
our alliance partners or other airlines, or 
due to a perception of increased risk in the 
industry related to concerns about war or 
terrorist attacks, the general industry, or 
general industry safety.

High levels of competition in the airline 
industry, such as the presence of low-
cost carriers in the markets in which the 
group operates, may adversely affect 
the level of operations.

•  our insurance coverage will fully cover 

all of our liabilities; or

Our business, financial condition and 
results of operations could be adversely 
affected by high levels of competition

RISK FACTORS

within the industry, particularly the 
entrance of new competitors into the 
markets in which the group operates. 
Airlines compete primarily over fare 
levels, frequency and dependability of 
service, brand recognition, passenger 
amenities (such as frequent flyer 
programs) and the availability and 
convenience of other passenger or cargo 
services. New and existing airlines (and 
companies providing ground cargo or 
passenger transportation) could enter 
our markets and compete with us on 
any of these bases, including by offering 
lower prices, more attractive services 
or increasing their route offerings in an 
effort to gain greater market share.

Low-cost carriers have an important 
impact on the industry’s revenues given 
their low unit costs. Lower costs allow 
low-cost carriers to offer inexpensive 
fares which, in turn, allow price sensitive 
customers to fly or to shift from large to 
low cost carriers. In past years we have 
seen more interest in the development 
of the low-cost model throughout 
Latin America. For example, in the 
Chilean market, Sky Airline, our main 
competitor, has been migrating to a 
low-cost model since 2015, while in July 
2017, JetSmart, a new low-cost airline, 
started operations. In the Peruvian 
domestic market, VivaAir Peru, a new 
low-cost airline, started operations in 

May 2017, and in April 2019, another 
low-cost airline, Sky Airline Peru, 
started operations. In Colombia, low-
cost competitor VivaColombia has 
been operating in the domestic market 
since May 2012. A number of low-
cost carriers have announced growth 
strategies including commitments to 
acquire significant numbers of aircraft 
for delivery in the next few years. 
The entry of low-cost carriers into 
local markets in which we compete, 
including those described above, could 
have a material adverse effect on our 
operations and financial performance. 
Additionally, certain of our competitors 
have also filed voluntary petitions under 
Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The 
ability of competitors to significantly 
adjust their cost structure and become 
more competitive, resulting from a 
bankruptcy reorganization process or 
other financial restructuring may also 
adversely affect our ability to compete.

International strategic growth plans 
rely, in part, upon receipt of regulatory 
approvals of the countries in which we 
plan to expand our operations with 
joint business agreements (JBA). The 
group may not be able to obtain those 
approvals, while other competitors 
might be approved. Accordingly, we 
might not be able to compete for the 
same routes as our competitors, which 

could diminish our market share and 
adversely impact our financial results. 
No assurances can be given as to any 
benefits, if any, that we may derive 
from such agreements.

Some of our competitors may receive 
external support, which could adversely 
impact our competitive position.

Some of our competitors may receive 
support from external sources, such 
as their national governments, which 
may be unavailable to us. Support 
may include, among others, subsidies, 
financial aid or tax waivers. This support 
could place the group at a competitive 
disadvantage and adversely affect 
operations and financial performance. 
For example, Aerolineas Argentinas has 
historically been government subsidized. 
Additionally, during the COVID-19 
pandemic, some of our competitors 
on long-haul routes have received 
government support.

Moreover, as a result of the competitive 
environment, there may be further 
consolidation in the Latin American 
and global airline industry, whether by 
means of acquisitions, joint ventures, 
partnerships or strategic alliances. 
We cannot predict the effects of 
further consolidation on the industry. 
Furthermore, consolidation in the airline 

industry and changes in international 
alliances will continue to affect the 
competitive landscape in the industry 
and may result in the development of 
airlines and alliances with increased 
financial resources, more extensive global 
networks and reduced cost structures.

Some of the countries where the 
group operates may not comply with 
international agreements previously 
established, which could increase the 
risk perception of doing business in that 
specific market and as a consequence 
impact the business and financial results.

Rulings by a bankruptcy court in 
Brazil and a Chapter 15 ruling by 
the Bankruptcy Court related to the 
bankruptcy proceedings of Avianca 
Brazil may appear to be inconsistent 
with the timeline set out for a debtor to 
cure a default or to return an aircraft in 
the Cape Town Convention (CTC) treaty 
that Brazil has signed, thus raising 
concerns about timings for remedies 
by creditors in respect of financings 
secured by aircraft. Accordingly, 
creditors may perceive that an increased 
business risk is created by these 
rulings for leasing or other financing 
transactions involving aircraft in Brazil 
and there is a possibility that rating 
agencies may issue lower credit ratings 
in respect of financings that are secured

by aircraft in Brazil. As a result, business 
and financial results may be adversely 
affected if our financing activities in 
Brazil are impacted by such events.

LATAM’s operations are subject to 
local, national and international 
environmental regulations; costs of 
compliance with applicable regulations, 
or the consequences of noncompliance, 
could adversely affect our results, our 
business or our reputation.

LATAM’s operations are affected by 
environmental regulations at local, 
national and international levels. 
These regulations cover, among other 
things, emissions to the atmosphere, 
disposal of solid waste and aqueous 
effluents, aircraft noise and other 
activities incident to the business. 
Future operations and financial results 
may vary as a result of such regulations. 
Compliance with these regulations and 
new or existing regulations that may 
be applicable to us in the future could 
increase our cost base and adversely 
affect operations and financial results. 
In addition, failure to comply with these 
regulations could adversely affect us 
in a variety of ways, including adverse 
effects on the group’s reputation.

In 2016, the International Civil 
Aviation Organization (“ICAO”) 

adopted a resolution creating the 
Carbon Offsetting and Reduction 
Scheme for International Aviation 
(CORSIA), providing a framework 
for a global market-based measure 
to stabilize carbon dioxide (“CO2”) 
emissions in international civil 
aviation (i.e., civil aviation flights that 
depart in one country and arrive in 
a different country). CORSIA will be 
implemented in phases, starting with 
the participation of ICAO member 
states on a voluntary basis during a 
pilot phase (from 2021 through 2023), 
followed by a first phase (from 2024 
through 2026) and a second phase 
(from 2027). Currently, CORSIA focuses 
on defining standards for monitoring, 
reporting and verification of emissions 
from air operators, as well as on 
defining steps to offset CO2 emissions 
after 2020. To the extent most of the 
countries in which the group operates 
continue to be ICAO member states, 
in the future we may be affected by 
regulations adopted pursuant to the 
CORSIA framework.

The proliferation of national regulations 
and taxes on CO2 emissions in the 
countries that we have domestic 
operations, including environmental 
regulations that the airline industry is 
facing in Colombia, may also affect the 
cost of operations and the margins.

Our business may be adversely affected 
by a downturn in the airline industry 
caused by exogenous events that affect 
travel behavior or increase costs, 
such as outbreak of disease, weather 
conditions and natural disasters, war or 
terrorist attacks.

Demand for air transportation may 
be adversely impacted by exogenous 
events, such as adverse weather 
conditions and natural disasters, 
epidemics (such as Ebola and Zika) 
and pandemics (such as the COVID-19 
pandemic), terrorist attacks, war or 
political and social instability. Increasing 
geopolitical tensions and hostilities in 
connection with the conflict in Ukraine, 
and the trade and monetary sanctions 
that have been imposed in connection 
with those developments, have affected, 
and could significantly affect, worldwide 
oil prices and demand, cause turmoil 
in the global financial system and 
negatively impact air travel. Situations 
such as these could have a material 
impact on the business, financial 
condition and results of operations. 
Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic 
and other adverse public health 
developments could have a prolonged 
effect on air transportation demand and 
any prolonged or widespread effects 
could significantly impact operations.

After the terrorist attacks in the United 
States on September 11, 2001, the 
Company made the decision to reduce 
its flights to the United States. In 
connection with the reduction in service, 
the Company reduced its workforce 
resulting in additional expenses due 
to severance payments to terminated 
employees during 2001. Any future 
terrorist attacks or threat of attacks, 
whether or not involving commercial 
aircraft, any increase in hostilities 
relating to reprisals against terrorist 
organizations or otherwise and any 
related economic impact could result 
in decreased passenger traffic and 
materially and negatively affect the 
business, financial condition and results 
of operations.

After the 2001 terrorist attacks, 
airlines have experienced increased 
costs resulting from additional security 
measures that may be made even 
more rigorous in the future. In addition 
to measures imposed by the U.S. 
Department of Homeland Security 
and the TSA, IATA and certain foreign 
governments have also begun to 
institute additional security measures at 
foreign airports we serve.

Revenues for airlines depend on the 
number of passengers carried, the fare 
paid by each passenger and service

factors, such as the timeliness of flight 
departures and arrivals. During periods 
of fog, ice, low temperatures, storms 
or other adverse weather conditions, 
some or all of our flights may be 
canceled or significantly delayed, 
reducing profitability. In addition, fuel 
prices and supplies, which constitute a 
significant cost for us, may increase as 
a result of any future terrorist attacks, 
a general increase in hostilities or a 
reduction in output of fuel, voluntary or 
otherwise, by oil-producing countries. 
Such increases may result in both higher 
airline ticket prices and decreased 
demand for air travel generally, which 
could have an adverse effect on 
revenues and results of operations.

An accumulation of ticket refunds 
could have an adverse effect on our 
financial results.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the 
corresponding widespread government-
imposed travel restrictions that are 
outside of LATAM’s control have 
resulted in an unprecedented number 
of requests for ticket refunds from 
customers due to changed or canceled 
flights. Although at the time this issue 
has been managed, we cannot assure 
you that the COVID-19 pandemic or 
other outbreak of contagious illness 
will not result in additional changed 

or canceled flights, and we cannot 
predict the total amount of refunds 
that customers might request as a 
result thereof. If the group is required 
to pay out a substantial amount of 
ticket refunds in cash, this could have an 
adverse effect on our financial results 
or liquidity position. Furthermore, the 
Company has agreements with financial 
institutions that process customer credit 
card transactions for the sale of air 
travel and other services. Under certain 
of the Company’s credit card processing 
agreements, the financial institutions 
in certain circumstances have the 
right to require that the Company 
maintain a reserve equal to a portion 
of advance ticket sales that have been 
processed by that financial institution, 
but for which the Company has not 
yet provided the air transportation. 
Such financial institutions may require 
cash or other collateral reserves to be 
established or withholding of payments 
related to receivables to be collected, 
including if the Company does not 
maintain certain minimum levels of 
unrestricted cash, cash equivalents 
and short-term investments. Refunds 
lower our liquidity and put us at risk of 
triggering liquidity covenants in these 
processing agreements and, in doing so, 
could force us to post cash collateral 
with the credit card companies for 
advance ticket sales.

LATAM is subject to risks relating 
to litigation and administrative 
proceedings that could adversely affect 
the business and financial performance 
in the event of an unfavorable ruling.

The nature of the business exposes us 
to litigation relating to labor, insurance 
and safety matters, regulatory, tax 
and administrative proceedings, 
governmental investigations, tort claims 
and contract disputes. Litigation is 
inherently costly and unpredictable, 
making it difficult to accurately estimate 
the outcome among other matters. 
Currently, as in the past, we are subject 
to proceedings or investigations of 
actual or potential litigation. Although 
we establish accounting provisions as 
we deem necessary, the amounts that 
we reserve could vary significantly 
from any amounts we actually have to 
pay due to the inherent uncertainties 
in the estimation process. We cannot 
assure you that these or other legal 
proceedings will not materially affect 
the business.

a material adverse impact on our 
reputation and results of operations and

We are subject to anti-corruption, anti-
bribery, anti-money laundering, antitrust 
and other international laws and 
regulations and are required to comply 
with the applicable laws and regulations 
of all jurisdictions where the group 
operates. In addition, we are subject 
to economic sanctions regulations that 
restrict dealings with certain sanctioned 
countries, individuals and entities. 
There can be no assurance that internal 
policies and procedures will be sufficient 
to prevent or detect all inappropriate 
practices, fraud or violations of law by 
affiliates, employees, directors, officers, 
partners, agents and service providers 
or that any such persons will not take 
actions in violation of our policies 
and procedures. Any violations by us 
of laws or regulations could have a 
material adverse effect on the business, 
reputation, results of operations and

of their respective countries and 
occasionally make significant changes 
in policy and regulations. Governmental 
actions have often involved, among 
other measures, nationalizations and 
expropriations, price controls, currency 
devaluations, mandatory increases on 
wages and employee benefits, capital 
controls and limits on imports. Our 
business, financial condition and results 
of operations may be adversely affected 
by changes in government policies or 
regulations, including such factors as 
exchange rates and exchange control 
policies, inflation control policies, price 
control policies, consumer protection 
policies, import duties and restrictions, 
liquidity of domestic capital and 
lending markets, electricity rationing, 
tax policies, including tax increases 
and retroactive tax claims, and 
other political, diplomatic, social and 
economic developments in or affecting 
the countries where the group operates.

For example, the Brazilian government’s 
actions to control inflation and 
implement other policies have involved 
wage and price controls, depreciation 
of the real, controls over remittance 
of funds abroad, intervention by the 
Central Bank to affect base interest 
rates and other measures. In the 
future, the level of intervention by 
Latin American governments may 

continue or increase. We cannot assure 
that these or other measures will not 
have a material adverse effect on the 
economy of each respective country 
and, consequently, will not adversely 
affect our business, financial condition 
and results of operations.

Political instability and social unrest 
in Latin America may adversely affect 
the business.

LATAM operates primarily within Latin 
America and is thus subject to a full 
range of risks associated with our 
operations in this region. These risks 
may include unstable political or social 
conditions, lack of well-established 
or reliable legal systems, exchange 
controls and other limits on our ability 
to repatriate earnings and changeable 
legal and regulatory requirements.

Although political and social conditions 
in one country may differ significantly 
from another country, events in any of 
our key markets could adversely affect 
the business, financial conditions or 
results of operations.

For example, in Brazil, in the last couple 
of years, as a result of the ongoing 
Lava Jato investigation (“Operation Car 
Wash”), a number of senior politicians 
have resigned or been arrested and 

other senior elected officials and 
public officials are being investigated 
for allegations of corruption. One 
of the most significant events that 
elapsed from this operation was the 
impeachment of the former President 
Rousseff by the Brazilian Senate on 
August, 2016, for violations of fiscal 
responsibility laws and the governing 
of its Vice-President, Michel Temer, 
during the last two years of the 
presidential mandate, which, due to 
the development of the investigations 
conducted by the Federal Police 
Department and the General Federal 
Prosecutor’s Office, indicted President 
Temer on corruption charges. Along with 
the political and economic uncertainty 
period the country was facing, in July 
2017, former President Luiz Inácio Lula 
da Silva was convicted of corruption 
and money laundering by a lower 
federal court in the State of Paraná in 
connection with Operation Car Wash.

In Peru, on September 30, 2019, 
President Martin Vizcarra took the 
executive action to dissolve the Peruvian 
Congress and called for a new election 
of congressional members. In response 
to the dissolution of the Congress, 
former members of the legislative body 
voted to suspend President Vizcarra 
for twelve months and appointed 
Vice President Mercedes Araoz as 

interim president to temporarily 
replace Mr. Vizcarra. Vice President 
Araoz resigned from her position as 
interim president the following day. 
On January 14, 2020, the Peruvian 
Constitutional Court declared the 
executive action taken by President 
Vizcarra to be constitutionally and 
legally valid.

On October 20, 2020, a group of 27 
congressmen introduced a motion to 
hold new impeachment proceedings 
against President Vizcarra as a 
result of allegations that President 
Vizcarra received illicit payments from 
construction companies when he was 
the governor of Moquegua (between 
2011 and 2014). On November 2, 2020, 
the Peruvian Congress voted to hold 
new impeachment proceedings. On 
November 9, 2020, with the affirmative 
vote of the required qualified members 
of Congress, the impeachment of 
President Vizcarra was approved. 
Because, at the time, Peru did not have 
designated vice presidents, the then-
president of the Congress, Manuel 
Arturo Merino de Lama, assumed 
the role of acting President. Since 
that day, Peru had been undergoing 
political and social unrest, followed by 
multiple protests within the country. 
On November 15, 2020, Manuel Arturo 
Merino de Lama resigned from his

role of acting President. On November 
16, 2020, the Congress elected 
congressman Francisco Rafael Sagasti 
Hochhausler as president of Congress, 
and he assumed the role of acting 
President on November 17, 2020 until 
July 28, 2021.

On June 6, 2021, the second electoral 
round between Keiko Fujimori and Pedro 
Castillo was held. The winner of the 
election by a tight margin was Pedro 
Castillo, however, accusations of electoral 
fraud have arisen since then, generating 
instability in the country and raising the 
US dollar exchange rate to historical 
levels. Currently, the instability in the 
country continues due to the policies 
implemented by the current president 
and the current Congress of the Republic, 
a period that has also been marked by 
a high level of uncertainty following 
recurrent changes in the members of the 
government’s cabinet.

In October 2019, Chile saw significant 
protests associated with economic 
conditions resulting in the declaration of 
a state of emergency in several major 
cities. The protests in Chile began over 
criticisms about social inequality, lack 
of quality education, weak pensions, 
increasing prices and low minimum 
wage. If social unrest in Chile were to 
continue or intensify, it could lead to 

operational delays or adversely impact 
our ability to operate in Chile.

Furthermore, current initiatives to 
address the concerns of the protesters 
are under discussion in the Chilean 
Congress. These initiatives include 
labor reforms, tax reforms and pension 
reforms, among others. It is not possible 
to predict the effect of these changes 
as they are still under discussion, but 
they could potentially result in higher 
payments of wages and salaries and 
an increase in taxes. On October 25, 
2020 (postponed from April 26, 2020 
due to the impact of the COVID-19 
pandemic), Chile widely approved a 
referendum to redraft the constitution 
via constitutional convention. The 
election for selecting the 155-member 
constitutional convention took place 
on May 15 and 16, 2021. On July 4, 
2021, the constitutional convention 
was installed, having 9 months, with 
the possibility of a one-time, three-
month extension, to present a new 
constitution, which will be approved or 
rejected in a referendum during 2022. 
In addition, Chile held presidential 
elections in December 2021, with leftist 
Gabriel Boric winning by a wide margin.

developments in Latin America generally 
may result in a reduction in passenger 
traffic, which could materially and 
negatively affect our financial condition 
and results of operations.

Latin American countries have 
experienced periods of adverse 
macroeconomic conditions.

The business is dependent upon 
economic conditions prevalent in Latin 
America. Latin American countries 
have historically experienced economic 
instability, including uneven periods of 
economic growth as well as significant 
downturns. High interest, inflation (in 
some cases substantial and prolonged), 
and unemployment rates generally 
characterize each economy. Because 
commodities such as agricultural 
products, minerals, and metals represent 
a significant percentage of exports 
of many Latin American countries, 
the economies of those countries are 
particularly sensitive to fluctuations in 
commodity prices. Investments in the 
region may also be subject to currency 
risks, such as restrictions on the flow 
of money in and out of the country, 
extreme volatility relative to the U.S. 
dollar, and devaluation.

recession, currency devaluation, high 
inflation, and political instability, 
which have led to adverse economic 
consequences. LATAM cannot ensure that 
Peru will not experience similar adverse 
developments in the future even though 
for some years now, several democratic 
procedures have been completed without 
any violence. LATAM cannot ensure that 
the current or any future administration 
will maintain business-friendly and open 
market economic policies or policies that 
stimulate economic growth and social 
stability. In Brazil, the Brazil Real gross 
domestic product decreased 3.5% in 
2015, decreased 3.3% in 2016, increased 
1.3% in 2017, increased 1.8% in 2018 
and 1.1% in 2019, and decreased 4.1% in 
2020, according to the Brazilian Institute 
for Geography and Statistics (Instituto 
Brasileiro de Geografia e Estadística, or 
“IGBE”). In addition, the credit rating of 
the Brazilian federal government was 
downgraded in 2015 and 2016 by all 
major credit rating agencies and is no 
longer investment grade. LATAM can offer 
no assurances as to the policies that may 
be implemented by the recently elected 
Argentine administration, or that political 
developments in Argentina will not 
adversely affect the Argentine economy.

RISKS RELATING TO OUR COMMON 
SHARES AND ADSS

Because our post-bankruptcy capital 
structure is yet to be determined, and 
any changes to our capital structure 
may have a material adverse effect 
on holders of the ADSs or our shares, 
trading in the ADSs or our shares 
during the pendency of our Chapter 11 
proceedings is highly speculative and 
poses substantial risks.

Our post-bankruptcy capital structure will 
be set pursuant to a reorganization plan 
that requires approval by the bankruptcy 
court. The reorganization of our capital 
structure may include exchanges of 
new equity securities for existing equity 
securities or of debt securities for equity 
securities, which would dilute any value 
of our existing equity securities, or may 
provide for all existing equity interests 
in us to be extinguished. In this case, 
amounts invested by holders of the ADSs 
or our shares will not be recoverable and 
these securities will have no value.

As a result of our Chapter 11 
proceedings, on June 10, 2020, the 

NYSE notified the SEC of its intention 
to remove the ADSs from listing and 
registration on the NYSE, effective at the 
opening of business on June 22, 2020. 
As of the date of this annual report, 
the ADSs are traded in the over-the-
counter market, which is a less liquid 
market. There can be no assurance that 
the ADSs will continue to trade in the 
over-the-counter market or that any 
public market for the ADSs will exist in 
the future, whether broker-dealers will 
continue to provide public quotes of the 
ADSs, whether the trading volume of the 
ADSs will be sufficient to provide for an 
efficient trading market, whether quotes 
for the ADSs may be blocked in the 
future or that we will be able to relist the 
ADSs on a securities exchange.

Trading prices of the ADSs or our 
shares bear no relationship to the 
actual recovery, if any, by their 
holders in the context of our Chapter 
11 proceedings. Additionally, trading 
prices of ADSs or our shares may 
experience significant fluctuation 
and volatility. Due to these and other 
risks described in this annual report, 
trading in the ADSs or our shares 
during the pendency of our Chapter 11 
proceedings poses substantial risks and 
we urge extreme caution with respect 
to existing and future investments in 
these securities.

Our major shareholders may have 
interests that differ from those of our 
other shareholders. 

One of the major shareholder groups, 
the Cueto Group (the “Cueto Group”), 
beneficially owned 16.39% of our common 
shares as of February 28, 2022.  In 
addition, other shareholders including, Delta 
Air Lines, Inc, which, as of February 28, 
2022, held 20.00% of our common shares, 
and Qatar Airways Investments (UK) 
Ltd., which as of February 28, 2022, held 
9.999999918% of our common shares, 
could have interests that may differ from 
those of our other shareholders. Moreover, 
our shareholder structure may change after 
emergence from Chapter 11 proceedings, 
and future major shareholders could have 
interests that may differ from those of our 
other shareholders. 

Under the terms of the deposit 
agreement governing the ADSs, 
if holders of ADSs do not provide 
JP Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., in its 
capacity as depositary for the ADSs, 
with timely instructions on the voting 
of the common shares underlying their 
ADRs, the depositary will be deemed to 
have been instructed to give a person 
designated by the board of directors 
the discretionary right to vote those 
common shares. The person designated 
by the board of directors to exercise 

this discretionary voting right may 
have interests that are aligned with our 
majority shareholders, which may differ 
from those of our other shareholders. 
Historically, our board of directors has 
designated its chairman to exercise 
this right; for example, the members of 
the board of directors elected by the 
shareholders in 2021 designated Mr. 
Ignacio Cueto, to serve in this role.

Trading of our ADSs and common shares 
in the securities markets is limited and 
could experience further illiquidity and 
price volatility.

Our common shares are listed on the 
two Chilean stock exchanges. Chilean 
securities markets are substantially 
smaller, less liquid and more volatile than 
major securities markets in the United 
States. In addition, Chilean securities 
markets may be materially affected by 
developments in other emerging markets, 
particularly other countries in Latin 
America. Accordingly, although you are 
entitled to withdraw the common shares 
underlying the ADSs from the depositary 
at any time, your ability to sell the 
common shares underlying ADSs in the 
amount and at the price and time of your 
choice may be substantially limited. This 
limited trading market may also increase 
the price volatility of the ADSs or the 
common shares underlying the ADSs.

FINANCIAL RESULTS

RISK FACTORS

Holders of ADRs may be adversely 
affected by currency devaluations and 
foreign exchange fluctuations.

If the Chilean peso exchange rate falls 
relative to the U.S. dollar, the value of the 
ADSs and any distributions made thereon 
from the depositary could be adversely 
affected. Cash distributions made in 
respect of the ADSs are received by the 
depositary (represented by the custodian 
bank in Chile) in pesos, converted by 
the custodian bank into U.S. dollars at 
the then-prevailing exchange rate and 
distributed by the depositary to the 
holders of the ADRs evidencing those 
ADSs. In addition, the depositary will 
incur foreign currency conversion costs 
(to be borne by the holders of the ADRs) 
in connection with the foreign currency 
conversion and subsequent distribution 
of dividends or other payments with 
respect to the ADSs.

Future changes in Chilean foreign 
investment controls and withholding 
taxes could negatively affect non-Chilean 
residents that invest in our shares.

Equity investments in Chile by non-
Chilean residents have been subject in 
the past to various exchange control 
regulations that govern investment 
repatriation and earnings thereon. 
Although not currently in effect, 

regulations of the Central Bank of Chile 
have in the past imposed such exchange 
controls. Nevertheless, foreign investors 
still have to provide the Central Bank with 
information related to equity investments 
and must conduct such operations within 
the formal exchange market. Furthermore, 
any changes in withholding taxes could 
negatively affect non-Chilean residents 
that invest in our shares.

We cannot assure you that additional 
Chilean restrictions applicable to the 
holders of ADRs, the disposition of 
the common shares underlying ADSs 
or the repatriation of the proceeds 
from an acquisition, a disposition or a 
dividend payment, will not be imposed 
or required in the future, nor could we 
make an assessment as to the duration 
or impact, were any such restrictions to 
be imposed or required.

Our ADS holders may not be able to 
exercise preemptive rights in certain 
circumstances.

To the extent that a holder of our ADSs 
is unable to exercise its preemptive 
rights because a registration statement 
has not been filed, the depositary may 
attempt to sell the holder’s preemptive 
rights and distribute the net proceeds 
of the sale, net of the depositary’s fees 
and expenses, to the holder, provided 

that a secondary market for those 
rights exists and a premium can be 
recognized over the cost of the sale. 
A secondary market for the sale of 
preemptive rights can be expected to 
develop if the subscription price of 
the shares of our common stock upon 
exercise of the rights is below the 
prevailing market price of the shares 
of our common stock. However, we 
cannot assure you that a secondary 
market in preemptive rights will develop 
in connection with any future issuance 
of shares of our common stock or that 
if a market develops, a premium can 
be recognized on their sale. Amounts 
received in exchange for the sale or 
assignment of preemptive rights relating 
to shares of our common stock will 
be taxable in Chile and in the United 
States. The inability of holders of 
ADSs to exercise preemptive rights in 
respect of common shares underlying 
their ADSs could result in a change in 
their percentage ownership of common 
shares following a preemptive rights 
offering. If a secondary market for the 
sale of preemptive rights does not 
develop and such rights cannot be sold, 
they will expire and a holder of our 
ADSs will not realize any value from 
the grant of the preemptive rights. In 
either case, the equity interest of a 
holder of our ADSs in us will be diluted 
proportionately.

We are not required to disclose as 
much information to investors as a U.S. 
issuer is required to disclose and, as a 
result, you may receive less information 
about us than you would receive from a 
comparable U.S. company.

The corporate disclosure requirements 
that apply to us may not be equivalent 
to the disclosure requirements that 
apply to a U.S. company and, as a 
result, you may receive less information 
about us than you would receive from 
a comparable U.S. company. We are 
subject to the reporting requirements 
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, 
as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The 
disclosure requirements applicable to 
foreign issuers under the Exchange Act 
are more limited than the disclosure 
requirements applicable to U.S. issuers. 
Publicly available information about 
issuers of securities listed on Chilean 
stock exchanges also provides less 
detail in certain respects than the 
information regularly published by listed 
companies in the United States or in 
certain other countries. Furthermore, 
there is a lower level of regulation 
of the Chilean securities market and 
of the activities of investors in such 
markets as compared with the level of 
regulation of the securities markets in 
the United States and in certain other 
developed countries.

Opinion  

In  our  opinion,  the  consolidated  financial  statements  present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects  the 
financial position of Latam Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries as at December 31, 2021 and 2020, 
and  the  results  of  operations  and  cash  flows  for  the  years  then  ended  in  accordance  with  the 
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). 

Emphasis of matter – Going Concern 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company 
will  continue  as  a  going  concern.  As  discussed  in  Note  2  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements, 
Latam Airlines Group S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization 
under  Chapter  11  of  the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Code  and  as  a  result,  the  satisfaction  of  the 
Company’s liabilities and funding of ongoing operation are subject to uncertainty. The Company has 
stated  that  these  events  or  conditions  indicate  that  a  material  uncertainty  exists  that  may  cast 
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans in 
regard to these  matters are also described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.  The 
financial  statements  do  not  include  any  adjustments  that  might  result  from  the  outcome  of  this 
uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified as a result of this matter. 

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS 
(Free translation from the original in Spanish) 

Santiago, March 8, 2022 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Latam Airlines Group S.A. 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Latam Airlines Group S.A. 
and subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of financial position as at December 
31,  2021  and  2020  and  the  consolidated  statements  of  income  by  function,  consolidated 
comprehensive income, consolidated changes in equity and consolidated cash flows – direct method 
for the years then ended, and the corresponding notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial 
statements  in  accordance  with  the  International  Financial  Reporting  Standards  (IFRS).  This 
responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of a relevant internal control for 
the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material 
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.  

Auditor’s responsibility 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our 
audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with Chilean Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. 
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about 
whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures 
in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, 
including  the  assessment  of  the  risks  of  material  misstatement  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers 
internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial 
statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for 
the  purpose  of  expressing  an  opinion  on  the  effectiveness  of  the  entity’s  internal  control.  As  a 
consequence  we  do  not  express  that  kind  of  opinion.  An  audit  also  includes  evaluating  the 
appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by 
management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. 

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 
for our audit opinion.

statements),  although  in  this  reorganization  process  in  certain  cases  decisions  are  subject  to 
authorization  by  the  Court,  considering  that  the  Company  and  various  subsidiaries  filed  for 
bankruptcy  before  the  same  Court,  and  before  the  same  judge,  the  Court  generally  views  the 
consolidated  entity  as  a  single  group  and  management  considers  that  the  Company  continues  to 
maintain  control  over  its  subsidiaries  and  therefore  have  considered  appropriate  to  continue  to 
consolidate these subsidiaries.

Basis of Preparation 

These consolidated financial statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. as of December 31, 2021 
and 2020 and for the three years ended December 31, 2021 and have been prepared in accordance 
with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting 
Standards  Board ("IASB")  and  with the  interpretations issued  by the  interpretations  committee  of 
the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRIC). 

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historic-cost criterion, although 
modified by the valuation at fair value of certain financial instruments. 

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires the use 
of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to use its judgment in applying 
the Company’s accounting policies. Note 4 shows the areas that imply a greater degree of judgment 
or complexity or the areas where the assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated 
financial statements. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  the  accounting 
policies  used  by  the  Company  for  the  consolidated  financial  statements  2020,  except  for  the 
standards and interpretations adopted as of January 1, 2021.

financial statements in the exercise of their first application. 

(c)  

Chapter 11 Filing and Going Concern 

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a going concern basis, 
which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of 
business.    As  disclosed  in  the  accompanying  consolidated  financial  statements,  the  Company 
incurred  a  net  loss  attributable  to  owners  of  the  parent  of  US$  4,642  million  for  the  year  ended 
December  31,  2021.  As  of  that  date,  the  Company  has  a  negative  working  capital  of  US$  9,701 
million  and  will  require  additional  working  capital  during  2021  to  support  a  sustainable  business 
operation. As of December 31, 2021, the company has negative equity of US$ 7,051 million, which 
corresponds to the attributable equity to the owners of the parent. 

LATAM  Group  passenger  traffic  for  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  increasing  by  18% 
compared to the same period in 2020 (decreasing by 59,6% compared to the same exercise in 2019). 

In December 2021, the group’s revenues amounted to approximately 49% of revenues for the year 
ended December 31, 2019. At this time, the pace to meet the pre-COVID demand are uncertain and 
highly  dependent  on  the  evolution  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  in  the  markets  in  which  LATAM 
Group  operates,  therefore,  management  cannot  make  specific  predictions  as  to  this  timing,  but 
considers  it  reasonable  to  expect  that  the  pace  of  the  demand  recovery  will  be  different  for  each 
country.   

On May 26, 2020 (the “Initial Petition Date”), LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and certain of its direct 
and  indirect  subsidiaries  (collectively,  the  “Initial  Debtors”)  filed  voluntary  petitions  for 
reorganization  (the  “Initial  Bankruptcy  Filing”)  under  chapter  11  of  title  11  of  the  United  States 
Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of 
New  York.  On  July  7,  2020  (the  “Piquero  Petition  Date”),  Piquero  Leasing  Limited  (“Piquero”) 
also filed a petition for reorganization with the Bankruptcy Court (the “Piquero Bankruptc 
Filing”).    On  July  9,  2020  (together  with  the  Initial  Petition  Date  and  Piquero  Petition  Date,  as 
applicable, the “Petition Date”), TAM S.A. and certain of its subsidiaries in Brazil (collectively, the 
“Subsequent Debtors” and, together with the Initial Debtors and Piquero, the “Debtors”) also filed 
petitions for reorganization (together with the Initial Bankruptcy Filing and the Piquero Bankruptcy 
Filing,  the  “Bankruptcy  Filing”),  as  a  consequence  of  the  prolonged  effects  of  the  COVID-19 
Pandemic.    The  Bankruptcy  Filing  for  each  of  the  Debtors  (each  one,  respectively,  a  “Petition 
Date”) is being jointly administered under the caption “In re LATAM Airlines Group S.A. et al.” 
Case  Number  20-11254.    The  Debtors  will  continue  to  operate  their  businesses  as  “debtors-in-
possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable 
provisions  of  the  Bankruptcy  Code  and  orders  of  the  Bankruptcy  Court.  On  June    28,  2021, 
LATAM Airlines Perú withdrew  its request for a preventive bankruptcy process previously filed

before the  Indecopi  of  Peru,  entity  which  approved  said  withdrawal  by  resolution  without  further 
comments. 

The Bankruptcy Filing is intended to permit the Company to reorganize and improve liquidity, wind 
down  unprofitable  contracts  and  amend  its  capacity  purchase  agreements  to  enable  sustainable 
profitability.  The Company’s goal is to develop and implement a plan of reorganization that meets 
the standards for confirmation under the Bankruptcy Code. 

As part of their overall reorganization process, the Debtors also have sought and received relief in 
certain non-U.S. jurisdictions.  On May 27, 2020, the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands granted 
the  applications  of  certain  of  the  Debtors  for  the  appointment  of  provisional  liquidators  (“JPLs”) 
pursuant to section 104(3) of the Companies Law (2020 Revision).  On June 4, 2020, the 2nd Civil 
Court of Santiago, Chile issued an order recognizing the Chapter 11 proceeding with respect to the 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A., Lan Cargo S.A., Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A., Latam Travel 
Chile II S.A., Lan Cargo Inversiones S.A., Transporte Aéreo S.A., Inversiones Lan S.A., Lan Pax 
Group S.A. and Technical Training LATAM S.A.  All remedies filed against the order have been 
rejected  and  the  decision  is,  then,  final.    Finally,  on  June  12,  2020,  the  Superintendence  of 
Companies of Colombia granted recognition to the Chapter 11 proceedings.  On July 10, 2020, the 
Grand Court of the Cayman Islands granted the Debtors’ application for the appointment of JPLs to 
Piquero Leasing Limited. 

Operation and Implication of the Bankruptcy Filing 

The  Debtors  continue  to  operate  their  businesses  and  manage  their  properties  as  debtors-in-
possession  pursuant  to  sections  1107(a)  and  1108  of  the  Bankruptcy  Code.    As  debtors-in-
possession,  the  Debtors  are  authorized  to  engage  in  transactions  within  the  ordinary  course  of 
business  without  prior  authorization  of  the  Bankruptcy  Court.    The  protections  afforded  by  the 
Bankruptcy  Code  allows  the  Debtors  to  operate  their  business  without  interruption,  and  the 
Bankruptcy  Court  has  granted  additional  relief  including,  inter  alia,  the  authority,  but  not  the 
obligation, to (i) pay amounts owed under certain critical airline agreements; (ii) pay certain third-
parties  who  hold  liens  or  other  possessory  interests  in  the  Debtors’  property;  (iii)  pay  employee 
wages  and  continue  employee  benefit  programs;  (iv)  pay  prepetition  taxes  and  related  fees;  (v) 
continue insurance and surety bond programs; (vi) pay certain de minimis litigation judgements or 
settlements without prior approval of the Bankruptcy Court; (vii) pay fuel supplies; and (viii) pay 
certain foreign vendors and certain vendors deemed critical to the Debtors’ operations. 

As debtors-in-possession, the Debtors may use, sell, or lease property of their estates, subject to the 
Bankruptcy Court’s approval if not otherwise in the ordinary course of business.  On November 26, 
2021,  the  Debtors  filed  a  joint  plan  of  reorganization  (the  “Plan”)  and  the  related  disclosure 
statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) with the Bankruptcy Court.  As detailed in the Disclosure 
Statement, the Plan is supported by a restructuring support agreement executed among the Debtors, 
creditors holding more than 70% of the general unsecured claims asserted against LATAM Airline 
Group S.A., and holders of more than 50% of LATAM Airline Group S.A.’s existing equity.  As of 
December  31,  2021,  the  Plan  remains  subject  to  approval  by  the  Bankruptcy  Court  and  could 
materially change the amounts and classifications in the consolidated financial statements, including 
the  value,  if  any,  of  the  Debtors’  prepetition  liabilities  and  securities.    On  December  17,  2021, 
December 20, 2021, January 24, 2022, January 27, 2022, and February 28, 2022, the Debtors filed a 
revised Plan and associated Disclosure Statement. 

On November 1, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order extending the periods in which the 
Debtors have the exclusive right to file and solicit a plan of reorganization to November 26, 2021 
and January 26, 2022 respectively.  On November 26, 2021, the Debtors filed a motion to further 
extend such periods, solely with respect to the Subsequent Debtors, to January 7, 2022 and March 7, 
2022  respectively.    On  December  15,  2021,  the  Creditors’  Committee  filed  an  objection  to  the 
Subsequent Debtors’ motion.  That same day, the Creditors’ Committee also filed a motion seeking 
to  terminate  the  Debtors’  exclusivity  periods.    Certain  other  interested  parties  subsequently  filed 
joinders to the Creditors’ Committee’s termination motion, while others filed statements opposing 
the termination motion.  On February 14, 2022, the Bankruptcy  Court entered an order approving 
the Subsequent Debtors’ motion and denying the Creditors’ Committee’s motion. 

Events Leading to the Chapter 11 Cases 

Since the first quarter of 2020, the passenger air transportation business was affected worldwide by 
a significant decrease in international air traffic, due to the closure of international borders with the 
aim of protecting the population from the effects of COVID-19, an infectious disease caused by a 
new virus, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization.  

LATAM’s  preliminary  assessment  in  the  beginning  of  March  2020  indicated  previous  disease 
outbreaks have peaked after few months and recovered pre-outbreak levels in no more than 6 to 7 
months, and the effect with scenery impacting mainly on Asia Pacific Airlines, indicating impact on 
Latin America of a marginal decrease of Revenue Per Kilometers forecast. 

For  the  Company,  the  reduction  in  its  operation  began  in  the  middle  of  March  2020  with  the 
announcement of a 30% decrease in its operations and the suspension of the guidance for 2020 in 
line with protection measures and boarding restrictions implemented by local governments (March 
16,  2020  for  Peru,  Colombia  and  Argentina,  March  18,  2020  for  Chile  and  March  27,  2020  for 
Brazil). On March 16, 2020, the Company announced an update of its projection to a progressive 
decrease in its operation up to 70%. 

By March 29, 2020, COVID 19 had already generated an unprecedented shock on Airlines Industry, 
specifically on airlines passenger revenue. The situation has both broadened and deepened beyond 
the initial assessment.   

In response to COVID 19, governments have been imposing much more severe border restrictions 
and airlines have been subsequently announcing sharp capacity cuts in response to a dramatic drop 
in travel demand. On April 2, 2020, the Company announced a decrease in its operation by 95%. 

In order to protect liquidity, the Company has carried out financial transactions, such as the use of 
funds from the Revolving Credit Facility (Revolving  Credit Facility) for US $ 600 million, which 
have affected its financial assets and liabilities, especially the items of Cash and cash equivalents 
and other financial liabilitie. 

Among  the  initiatives  that  the  Company  studied  and  committed  to  protect  liquidity  were  the 
following: 

Reduction and postponement of the investment plan for different projects; 
Implementation  of control measurements  for  payments  to  suppliers  and  purchases  of  new 

(i) 
(ii) 
goods and services;

Negotiation of the payment conditions with suppliers; 
(iii) 
(iv) 
Ticket refunds via travel vouchers and Frequent Flyer Program points and miles; all in all, 
the LATAM Group will continue to honor all current and future tickets, as well as travel vouchers, 
frequent flyer miles and benefits, and flexibility policies; 
Temporary reduction of salaries, considering the legal framework of each country: as of the 
(v) 
second  quarter,  the  Company  implemented  a  voluntary  process  to  reduce  salaries  in  force  until 
December 31, 2020. Associated with the restructuring plan and in order to adapt to the new demand 
scenario,  the  company  has  designed  a  staff  reduction  plan  in  the  different  countries  where  it 
operates.  The  costs  associated  with  the  execution  of  this  plan  were  recorded  in  income  as 
Restructuring activities expenses. (See note 27d); 
(vi) 
(vii)  Governmental loan request in different countries in which the company operates; and 
Reduction of non-essential fleet and non-fleet investments. 

Short-term debt and debt maturities renewal; 

The Company, in consultation with its advisors, also evaluated a variety of potential restructuring 
options.  In the opinion of the Board, the timings for a conventional bilateral process, the possibility 
that creditors may have decided to engage in collection actions, the impossibility of curing defaults 
and  the  need  to  implement  a  comprehensive  restructuring  of  LATAM  Airlines  to  which  all  its 
creditors and other interested parties must join, lead the Board to consider an in-court bankruptcy 
proceedings  the  best  alternative.    In  addition,  the  Board  noted  that  other  benefits  of  an  in-court 
bankruptcy proceeding, including the imposition of the Bankruptcy Code’s “automatic stay,” which 
protects the Company from efforts by creditors and other interested parties to take action in respect 
of pre-bankruptcy debt, but which, at the same time, allows it to continue operating with its main 
assets,  suppliers,  financial  parties,  regulators  and  employees,  while  structuring  a  binding 
reorganization to be financially viable in a post-pandemic scenario. 

Due to the foregoing, and after consulting the administration and the legal and financial advisors of 
the  Company,  on  May  26,  2020  the  Board  resolved  unanimously  that  LATAM  Airlines  should 
initiate a reorganization process in the United States of America according to the rules established 
in the Bankruptcy Code by filing a voluntary petition for relief in accordance with the same. 

Since the Chapter 11 filing, the Company secured up to US$ 3.2 billion in a debtor-in-possession 
financing facility (the “DIP Facility”), as provided for in in the Super-Priority Debtor-in-Possession 
Term Loan Agreement (the “DIP Credit Agreement”) (See Note 3.1 c)). 

Plan of Reorganization 

In order for the Company to emerge successfully from Chapter 11, the Company  must obtain the 
Bankruptcy  Court’s  approval  of  a  plan  of  reorganization,  which  will  enable  the  Company  to 
transition  from  Chapter  11  into  ordinary  course  operations  outside  of  bankruptcy.    A  plan  of 
reorganization determines the rights and satisfaction of claims of various creditors and parties-in-
interest,  and  is  subject  to  the  ultimate  outcome  of  negotiations  and  Bankruptcy  Court  decisions 
ongoing through the date on which the plan of reorganization is confirmed. Any proposed plan of 
reorganization will be subject to revision based upon discussions with the Company’s creditors and 
other  interested  parties,  and  thereafter  in  response  to  interested  parties’  objections  and  the 
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Court.  There is no guarantee at this time that 
the Company will be able to obtain approval of the Plan from the Bankruptcy Court. 

On November 26, 2021, the Company filed the Plan and associated Disclosure Statement.  The Plan 
is  accompanied  by  a  Restructuring  Support  Agreement  (the  “RSA”)  with  the  largest  unsecured 
creditor  group  in  the  Chapter  11  Cases—holding  of  more  than  70%  of  unsecured  claims  filed 
against LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and holders of approximately 48% of the US-law governed 
notes  issued  by  LATAM  Finance  Ltd.  due  2024  and  2026—as  well  as  certain  of  the  Company’s 
shareholders holding more than 50% of LATAM Airlines Group S.A.’s existing equity.   

The Plan proposes the infusion of up to approximately $8.19 billion through a mix of new equity, 
convertible  notes,  and  debt,  which  will  enable  the  Company  to  exit  Chapter  11  with  appropriate 
capitalization  to  effectuate  its business  plan.    Upon emergence,  the  Company  is  expected to have 
total debt of approximately $7.26 billion and liquidity of approximately $2.67 billion.  Specifically, 
the Plan outlines that: 

  Upon confirmation of the Plan, the Company intends to launch an $800 million common 
equity rights offering, open to all shareholders in accordance with their preemptive rights 
under  applicable  Chilean  law,  and  fully  backstopped  by  the  parties  participating  in  the 
RSA; 

  Three distinct classes of convertible notes will be issued by the Company, all of which will 
be  preemptively  offered  to  shareholders.  To  the  extent  not  subscribed  by  the  Company’s 
shareholders during the respective preemptive rights period: 

o  Convertible Notes Class A will be provided to certain general unsecured creditors 

of the Company in settlement of their allowed claims under the Plan;  

o  Convertible  Notes  Class  B  will  be  subscribed  and  purchased  by  the  shareholders 

parties to the RSA; and  

o  Convertible Notes Class C will be provided to certain general unsecured creditors 
in exchange for a combination of new money to the Company and the settlement of 
their claims, subject to certain limitations and holdbacks by backstopping parties.  

  The  convertible  notes  belonging  to  the  New  Convertible  Notes  Classes  B  and  C  will  be 
provided,  totally  or  partially,  in  consideration  of  a  new  money  contribution  for  the 
aggregate  amount  of  approximately  $4.64  billion  fully  backstopped  by  the  parties  to  the 
RSA; and 

  LATAM  will  raise  a  $500  million  new  revolving  credit  facility  and  approximately  $2.25 
billion  in  total  new  money  debt  financing,  consisting  of  either  a  new  term  loan  or  new 
notes.  The  general  deadline  to  file  objections  to  the  Plan  and  Disclosure  Statement  was 
January 7, 2022, and such deadline was further extended to January 12, 2022 and January 
14, 2022 for certain interested parties.

Going Concern 

These Consolidated Financial Statements have also been prepared on a going concern basis, which 
contemplates  continuity  of  operations,  realization  of  assets  and  satisfaction  of  liabilities  in  the 
ordinary course of business. Accordingly, the Consolidated Financial Statements do not include any 
adjustments  relating  to  the  recoverability  of  assets  and  classification  of  liabilities  that  might  be 
necessary should the Debtors be unable to continue as a going concern. 

As a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings, the satisfaction of the Company’s liabilities and funding 
of ongoing operations are subject to material uncertainty as a product of the COVID-19 pandemic 
and the  impossibility  of  knowing  its  duration at  this date  and,  accordingly,  a  material  uncertainty 
exists  that  may  cast  significant  doubt  on  the  Company’s  ability  to  continue  as  a  going  concern. 
There  is  no  assurance  that  the  Company  will  be  able  to  emerge  successfully  from  Chapter  11.  
Additionally, there is no assurance that long-term funding would be available at rates and on terms 
and conditions that would be financially acceptable and viable to the Company in the long term.  If 
the  Company  is  unable  to  generate  additional  working  capital  or  raise  additional  financing  when 
needed,  it  may  not  able  to  reinitiate  currently  suspended  operations  as  a  result  of  the  COVID-19 
pandemic,  which  could  adversely  affect  the  value  of  the  Company’s  common  stock,  or  render  it 
worthless. Additionally, in connection with the Chapter 11 Filing, material modifications could be 
made  to  the  Company’s  fleet  and  capacity  purchase  agreements.    These  modifications  could 
materially  affect  the  Company’s  financial  results  going  forward,  and  could  result  in  future 
impairment charges. 

Chapter 11 Milestones 

Notice to Creditors - Effect of the Automatic Stay 

The Debtors have notified all known current or potential creditors that the Chapter 11 Cases were 
filed.  Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and subject to certain limited exceptions, the filing of the 
Chapter  11  Cases  gave  rise  to  an  automatic,  worldwide  injunction  that  precludes,  among  other 
things,  any  act  to  (i)  obtain  possession  of  property  of  or  from  the  Debtors’  estates,  (ii)  create, 
perfect,  or  enforce  any  lien  against  property  of  the  Debtors’  estates;  (iii)  exercise  control  over 
property  of  the  Debtors’  estate,  wherever  in  the  world  that  property  may  be  located;  and  further 
enjoined  or  stayed  (iv)  and  also  ordered  or  suspended  the  commencement  or  continuation  of  any 
judicial,  administrative,  or  other  action  or  proceeding  against  the  debtor  that  could  have  been 
commenced  before  the  Petition  Date  or  efforts  to  recover  a  claim  against  the  Debtors  that  arose 
before  the  Petition  Date.    Vendors  are  being  paid  for  goods  furnished  and  services  provided 
postpetition in the ordinary course of business. 

On  August  31,  2020  (the  “First  Stay  Motion”),  and  December  30,  2020  (the  “Second  Stay 
Motion”),  Corporación  Nacional  de  Consumidores  y  Usuarios  de  Chile  (“CONADECUS”)  filed 
two  motions  in  the  Bankruptcy  Court  seeking  relief  from  the  automatic  stay  in  order  prosecute 
certain actions against LATAM that are currently pending before the courts of Chile.  LATAM filed 
a  brief  in  opposition  to  the  First  Stay  Motion,  and  on  December  16,  2020,  the Bankruptcy  Court 
heard oral arguments on the First Stay Motion.  At that hearing, the Bankruptcy Court granted the 
First  Stay  Motion  for  the  limited  purpose  of  allowing  CONADECUS  to  further  prosecute  its 
pending appeal before the courts of Chile.  On February 9, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court granted the 
Second Stay Motion on the same narrow grounds as the First Stay Motion.  The Bankruptcy Court’s 
decisions  on  the  First  Stay  Motion  and  Second  Stay  Motion  did  not  affect  the  underlying 

proceedings in Chile beyond allowing CONADECUS to continue its pending appeals (See Note 31 
I 2 for any updates this proceedings). 

Appointment of the Creditors’ Committee 

On  June  5,  2020,  the  United  States  Trustee  for  Region  2  appointed  an  official  committee  of 
unsecured creditors (the “Creditors’ Committee”) in the Initial Chapter 11 Cases.  The United States 
Trustee has not solicited additional members for the Creditors’ Committee as a result of TAM S.A. 
or  any  of  its  applicable  subsidiaries  joining  the  Bankruptcy  Filing.    Since  the  formation  of  the 
Creditors’  Committee,  three  Creditors’  Committee’s  members  -  Compañía  de  Seguros  de  Vida 
Consorcio  Nactional  de  Seguros  S.A.,  AerCap  Holdings  N.V.,  and  Aircastle  Limited  -  have 
resigned from the Creditors’ Committee.  The Office of the United States Trustee has not appointed 
replacements  for  these  members.    No  trustee  or  examiner  has  been  appointed  in  any  of  these 
Chapter 11 Cases.  No other official committee have been solicited or appointed. 

Assumption, Amendment & Rejection of Executory Contracts & Leases 

Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code and the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy 
Rules”),  the  Debtors  are  authorized  to  assume,  assign  or  reject  certain  executory  contracts  and 
unexpired leases.  Absent certain exceptions, the Debtors’ rejection of an executory contract or an 
unexpired lease is generally treated as prepetition breach, which entitles the contract counterparty to 
file a general unsecured claim against the Debtors and simultaneously relives the Debtors from their 
future  obligations  under  the  contract  or  lease.    Further,  the  Debtors’  assumption  of  an  executory 
contract  or  unexpired  lease  would  generally  require  the  Debtors  to  satisfy  certain  prepetition 
amounts due and owning under such contract or lease.  

On  June  28,  2020,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  authorized  the  Debtors  to  establish  procedures  for  the 
rejection  of  certain  executory  contracts  and  unexpired  leases.    In  accordance  with  these  rejection 
procedures, the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules the Debtors have or will reject certain 
contracts  and  leases  (see  notes  17,  19  and  27).    Relatedly,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  approved  the 
Debtors’  request  to  extend  the  date  by  which  the  Debtors  may  assume  or  reject  unexpired  non-
residential, real property leases until December 22, 2020.  Following consent of certain lessors to 
further  extend  the  deadline  in  order  to  finalize  productive  negotiations,  the  Bankruptcy  Court 
granted  the  Debtors’  motions  to  assume  multiple  airport  leases  at  Miami-Dade,  LAX  and  JFK 
related to the Debtors’ passenger and cargo businesses.   

The Debtors have also assumed a number of important agreements.  For example, on June 1, 2021, 
the Bankruptcy Court approved the assumption and ratification of certain purchase agreements, as 
amended,  with  The  Boeing  Company.    In  addition,  on  July  1,  2021,  the  Court  approved  the 
Debtors’ assumption of the Export Credit Agency-backed fleets, which comprises 65 total aircraft. 
On December 15, 2021, the Debtors filed a motion for an order approving streamlined procedures 
for the assumption of executory contracts and unexpired leases.  At the December 29, 2021 hearing, 
the Bankruptcy Court granted the Debtors’ motion.

As of December 31, 2021, and as a result of these contract rejections, obligations with the lenders 
and lessors were extinguished and the Company lost control over the related assets resulting in the 
derecognition of the assets and the liabilities associated with these aircraft.  See note 17, 19 and 27.  
All  accounting  effects  were  recorded  as  Restructuring  activities  expenses  during  the  year  ending

In  relation  to  several  of  these  lease  and  engine  amendment  agreements,  the  Debtors  have  or  will 
enter  into  claims  settlement  stipulations  for  prepetition  amounts  due  upon  assumption  of  those 
agreements. 

Other Key Filings 

On  August  5,  2021,  the  Debtors  filed  two  motions  seeking  to  (i)  approve  certain  restructuring 
arrangements  with  Airbus  S.A.S.  and  Banco  Santander,  S.A.  and  (ii)  to  assume  certain  purchase 
agreements with Airbus S.A.S.  Orders approving these motions were entered on August 27, 2021.   
In addition, on August 5, 2021, the Debtors filed a motion seeking authorization to enter into a sale 
and leaseback transaction with Sky Aero Management Ltd., pursuant to which the Debtors will sell 
and leaseback certain aircraft purchased in the Airbus purchase agreements that were assumed.  In 
addition,  on  August  5,  2021  the  Debtors  filed  a  motion  seeking  authorization  to  purchase  certain 
aircraft  from  Wacapou  Leasing  S.A.    Orders  approving  both  of  these  motions  were  entered  on 
August 30, 2021.   

On  June  16,  2021  Banco  del  Estado  de  Chile  (“BancoEstado”)  filed  a  motion  seeking  to  set  a 
briefing and discovery schedule in connection with BancoEstado’s separate motion to substantively 
consolidating the estates of LATAM Airlines Group S.A., LATAM Finance Ltd. and Peuco Finance 
Ltd (the “Substantive Consolidation Motion”).  BancoEstado filed the BancoEstado Motion on June 
18,  2021.    On June  23,  2021,  the  Debtors as  well  as certain  other interested  parties  each  filed  an 
objection to  BancoEstado’s  motion.   BancoEstado filed  a reply  in  response to  such  objections  on 
July 19, 2021.  The Bankruptcy Court denied BancoEstado’s motion to set a briefing and discovery 
schedule  on  July  22,  2021,  but  the  Bankruptcy  Court  indicated  that  BancoEstado  could  resubmit 
their motion as an objection to the Disclosure Statement. 

On June 16, 2021, the Creditors’ Committee filed two motions seeking standing to prosecute certain 
claims on behalf of the Debtors against Delta Airlines, Inc. (the “Delta Motion”) and Qatar Airways 
O.C.S.C.  (the  “Qatar  Motion”),  and,  together  with  the  Delta  Motion,  (the  “Standing  Motions”), 
which  were  opposed  by  certain  parties.    The  Standing  Motions  were  scheduled  to  be  heard  at  a 
hearing on July 30, 2021.  The Bankruptcy Court proposed that the parties mediate certain matters 
related  to  the  claims  raised  in  the  Standing  Motions  in  the  first  instance.    The  Bankruptcy  Court 
asked  that  the  parties  coordinate  to  select  a  mediator  and  establish  a  proposed  plan  for  the 
mediation.  On August 31, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order appointing the Honorable 
Allan  L.  Gropper  (Ret.)  as  mediator,  and  the  parties subsequently  began  mediating  these  matters.  
On  October  15,  2021,  the  mediator  issued  a  notice  terminating  the  mediation,  noting  that  the 
mediation had failed.  The Creditors’ Committee has asked the Bankruptcy Court to re-schedule a 
hearing on the Standing Motions on the Bankruptcy Court’s next available hearing date. 

On September 10, 2021, the Debtors filed a motion to assume various aircraft agreements and for 
related  relief  in  connection  with  the  Triton,  Centaurus  and  JOLCO  aircraft.  The  motion  was 
adjourned sine die on December 22, 2021.  

On  December  8,  2021, the  Debtors  filed  (i)  a  motion  for  entry  of  an  order  authorizing  long  term 
restructuring  agreements  with  the  Centaurus/Triton  Lessors,  SBI  Lessors,  and  Pilar  II  Leasing 
Limited  and  approving  related  settlement  agreement  with  certain  claimants  and  (ii)  a  motion  for 
entry  of  an  order  approving  settlement  stipulation  with  Sajama  Investments,  Inc.    The  Creditors’ 
Committee and BancoEstado objected to both motions, and an evidentiary hearing on the motions 
was  scheduled  for  January  21,  2022.  On  January  28,  2022,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  overruled  the 
objections and granted the motion.

Statements and Schedules 

Since September 8, 2020, the Debtors filed with the Bankruptcy Court schedules and statements of 
financial  affairs  setting  forth,  among  other  things,  the  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  Debtors  (the 
“Statements  and  Schedules”).    The  Statements  and  Schedules  are  prepared  according  to  the 
requirements of applicable bankruptcy law and are subject to further amendment or modification by 
the  Debtors.    On  August  13,  2021  and  December  3,  2021,  the  Debtors  filed  amended  schedules.  
The  Company  is  also  required  to  file  “Monthly  Operating  Reports”  (MOR),  to  account  for  the 
receipt, administration and disposition of property during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases.  

Although  the  Debtors  believe  that  these  materials  provide  the  information  required  under  the 
Bankruptcy Code or orders of the Bankruptcy Court, they are nonetheless unaudited and prepared in 
a  format  different  from  the  consolidated  financial  reports  historically  prepared  by  LATAM  in 
accordance  with  IFRS  (International  Financial  Reporting  Standards).    Certain  of  the  information 
contained  in  the  Statements  and  Schedules  may  be  prepared  on  an  unconsolidated  basis.  
Accordingly,  the  Debtors  believe  that  the  substance  and  format  of  these  materials  do  not  allow 
meaningful  comparison  with  their  regularly  publicly-disclosed  consolidated  financial  statements. 
Moreover,  the  materials  filed  with  the  Bankruptcy  Court  are  not  prepared  for  the  purpose  of 
providing a basis for an investment decision relating to the Debtors’ securities, or claims against the 
Debtors, or for comparison with other financial information required to be reported under applicable 
securities law. 

Intercompany and Affiliate Transactions 

The Debtors are authorized to continue performing certain postpetition intercompany and affiliate 
transactions in the ordinary course of business, including transactions with non-debtor affiliates, and 
to honor obligations in connection with such transactions; provided, however, the Debtors shall not 
make  any  cash  payments  on  account  of  prepetition  transactions  with  affiliates  absent  permission 
from  the  Bankruptcy  Court,  including  any  repayments  on  any  prepetition  loans  to  non-debtor 
affiliates pursuant to any such transactions.  Out of an abundance of caution, the Debtors have also 
sought and received Bankruptcy Court approval to contribute capital, capitalize intercompany debt 
and issue shares between certain debtor affiliates. 

Debtor in Possession Financing 

On September 19, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order authorizing the Debtors to obtain 
postpetition  “debtor-in-possession  financing”  in  the  form  of  a  multi-draw  term  loan  facility  in  an 
aggregate principal amount of up to US$2.45 billion (See note 3.1 c)).  On October 18, 2021, the 
Bankruptcy Court entered an order approving a third tranche of secured financing for $750 million, 
as provided for in the DIP Credit Agreement. Accordingly, as of December 31, 2021, the Debtors 
have secured a DIP Facility in the total aggregate amount of up to $3.2 billion. 

Establishment of Bar Dates 

On September 24, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the “Bar Date Order”) establishing 
December 18, 2020, as the general deadline (the “General Bar Date”) by which persons or entities 
who  believe  they  hold  any  claims  against  any  Debtor  that  arose  prior  to  the  Petition  Date,  as 
applicable to each Debtor, must have submitted written documentation of such claims (a “Proof of 
Claim”).    The  General  Bar  Date  was  not  applicable  to  governmental  units,  which  must  have 

submitted Proofs of Claims by January 5, 2021 (the “Governmental Bar Date”).  Finally, as more 
fully described in the Bar Date Order, claims with respect to rejected contracts or unexpired leases 
may be subject to a deadline later than the General Bar Date (the “Rejection Bar Date” and, together 
with the General Bar Date and the Governmental Bar Date, the “Bar Dates’).  Any person or entity 
that fails to timely file its Proof of Claim by the applicable Bar Date will be forever barred from 
asserting  their  claim  and  will  not  receive  any  distributions  made  as  part  of  the  ultimate  plan  of 
reorganization.    Notice  of  the  Bar  Dates,  as  well  as  instructions  on  how  to  file  Proof  of  Claims, 
were sent to all known creditors and published in various newspapers in the United States and South 
America. 

On December 17, 2020, the Court entered an order establishing a supplemental bar date of February 
5, 2021 (the “Supplemental Bar Date”), for certain non-U.S. claimants not otherwise subject to the 
General  Bar  Date.  The  Supplemental  Bar  Date  applies  only  to  those  entities  and  individuals 
specifically identified in the court order.  Any person or entity that fails to timely file its Proof of 
Claim by the Supplemental Bar Date will be forever barred from asserting their claim and will not 
receive any distributions made as part of the ultimate plan of reorganization. 

Following  the  close  of  the  General  Bar  Date  and  the  Supplemental  Bar  Date,  the  Debtors  have 
continued the process of reconciling approximately 6,400 submitted claims, including those related 
to  the  Debtors fleet obligations, and  have  developed procedures  to  streamline  the  claims  process.  
The Company has already filed objections to a number of claims and anticipates continuing to do so 
in  the  coming  months.    Although  many  objections  have  been  entered  on  an omnibus  basis,  some 
claims disputes will likely require individualized adjudication by the Bankruptcy Court.  Further, on 
March  18,  2021,  the  Bankruptcy  Court  entered  an  order  approving  alternative  dispute  resolution 
procedures to resolves certain claims disputes outside of the Bankruptcy Court.   As of December 
23,  2021,  the  Debtors  have  objected to  or  have  resolved  through  claims  withdrawals,  stipulations 
and court orders approximately 3,400 claims with a total value of approximately US$60 billion.  As 
noted  above,  the  Debtors  have  entered  into  claims  stipulations  in  connection  with  their  lease 
amendment  agreements.        As  the  Debtors  continue  to  reconcile  claims  against  the  Company’s 
books and records, they will object to and contest such claims that they determine are not valid or 
asserted  in  the  proper  amount  and  will  resolve  other  claims  disputes  in  and  outside  of  the 
Bankruptcy Court. 
A Claim is recorded as a liability when it has a present obligation, whether legal or constructive, as 
a  result  of  a  past  event,  it  is  probable  that  an  outflow  of  resources  will  be  required  to  settle  the 
obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made. As of December 31, 2021 
approximately 3,568 of the Claims filed against Latam are still being reconciled and so at this time 
the amounts of such Claims cannot be reliably estimated. 

2.2. 

Basis of Consolidation 

(a) 

Subsidiaries 

Subsidiaries are all the entities (including special-purpose entities) over which the Company has the 
power to control the financial and operating policies, which are generally accompanied by a holding 
of more than half of the voting rights. In evaluating whether the Company controls another entity, 
the existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible at the 
date of the consolidated financial statements are considered. The subsidiaries are consolidated from 
the date on which control is passed to the Company and they are excluded from the consolidation

21 

on the date they cease to be so controlled. The results and flows are incorporated from the date of 
acquisition. 

(b) 

Transactions and balances 

Balances,  transactions  and  unrealized  gains  on  transactions  between  the  Company’s  entities  are 
eliminated.  Unrealized  losses  are  also  eliminated  unless  the  transaction  provides  evidence  of  an 
impairment  loss  of  the  asset  transferred.  When  necessary  in  order  to  ensure  uniformity  with  the 
policies adopted by the Company, the accounting policies of the subsidiaries are modified. 

To  account  for  and  identify  the  financial  information  revealed  when  carrying  out  a  business 
combination, such as the acquisition of an entity by the Company, is apply the acquisition method 
provided for in IFRS 3: Business combination. 

(b) 

Transactions with non-controlling interests 

The Group applies the policy of considering transactions with non-controlling interests, when not 
related to loss of control, as equity transactions without an effect on income. 

(c) 

Sales of subsidiaries 

When  a  subsidiary  is  sold  and  a  percentage  of  participation  is  not  retained,  the  Company 
derecognizes  assets  and  liabilities  of  the  subsidiary,  the  non-controlling  and  other  components  of 
equity related to the subsidiary. Any gain or loss resulting from the loss of control is recognized in 
the consolidated income statement by function in Other gains (losses). 

If  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  and  Subsidiaries  retain  an  ownership  of  participation  in  the  sold 
subsidiary, and does not represent control, this is recognized at fair value on the date that control is 
lost,  the  amounts  previously  recognized  in  Other  comprehensive  income  are  accounted  as  if  the 
Company  had  disposed  directly  from  the  assets  and  related  liabilities,  which  can  cause  these 
amounts  are  reclassified  to  profit  or  loss.  The  percentage  retained  valued  at  fair  value  is 
subsequently accounted using the equity method. 

(d) 

Investees or associates 

Investees  or  associates  are  all  entities  over  which  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  and  Subsidiaries 
have significant influence but have no control. This usually arises from holding between 20% and 
50%  of  the  voting  rights.  Investments  in  associates  are  booked  using  the  equity  method  and  are 
initially recognized at their cost. 

2.3. 

Foreign currency transactions 

(a) 

Presentation and functional currencies 

The  items  included  in  the  financial  statements  of  each  of  the  entities  of  LATAM  Airlines  Group 
S.A. and Subsidiaries are valued using the currency of the main economic environment in which the 
entity operates (the functional currency). The functional currency of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. 
is  the  United  States  dollar  which  is  also  the  presentation  currency  of  the  consolidated  financial 
statements of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries. 

Foreign currency transactions are translated to the functional currency using the exchange rates on 
the  transaction  dates.  Foreign  currency  gains  and  losses  resulting  from  the  liquidation  of  these 
transactions  and  from  the  translation  at  the  closing  exchange  rates  of  the  monetary  assets  and 
liabilities  denominated in foreign  currency  are shown  in the  consolidated  statement of income  by 
function except when deferred in Other comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges. 

(c) 

Adjustment due to hyperinflation 

After July 1, 2018, the Argentine economy was considered, for purposes of IFRS, hyperinflationary. 
The consolidated financial statements of the subsidiaries whose functional currency is the Argentine 
Peso have been restated. 

The  non-monetary  items  of  the  statement  of  financial  position  as  well  as  the  income  statement, 
comprehensive  incomes  and  cash  flows  of  the  group's  entities,  whose  functional  currency 
corresponds to a hyperinflationary economy, adjusted for inflation and re-expressed in accordance 
with  the  variation  of  the  consumer  price  index  ("CPI"),  at  each  presentation  date  of  its  financial 
statements. The re-expression of non-monetary items is made from the date of initial recognition in 
the statements of financial position and considering that, the financial statements are prepared under 
the historical cost criterion. 

Net  losses  or  gains  arising  from  the  re-expression  of  non-monetary  items  and  income  and  costs  
recognized in the consolidated income statement under "Result of indexation units". 

Net gains and losses on the re-expression of opening balances due to the initial application of IAS 
29 are recognized in the consolidated retained earnings. 

Re-expression  due  to  hyperinflation  will  be  recorded  until  the  period  or  exercise  in  which  the 
economy  of  the  entity  ceases  to  be  considered  as  a  hyperinflationary  economy,  at  that  time,  the 
adjustments made by hyperinflation will be part of the cost of non-monetary assets and liabilities. 
The comparative amounts in the consolidated financial statements of the Company are presented in 
a stable currency and are not adjusted for subsequent changes in the price level or exchange rates. 

(d) 

Group entities 

The results and the financial situation of the Group's entities, whose functional currency is different 
from the presentation currency of the consolidated financial statements, of LATAM Airlines Group 
S.A., which does not correspond to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy, are converted into 
the currency of presentation as follows: 

Assets  and  liabilities  of  each  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position  presented  are 

(i) 
translated at the closing exchange rate on the consolidated statement of financial position date;  

The revenues and expenses of each income statement account are translated at the exchange 

(ii) 
rates prevailing on the transaction dates, and 

All the resultant exchange differences by conversion are shown as a separate component in 

(iii) 
other comprehensive income, within "Gain (losses) from exchange rate difference, before tax".

23 

For  those  subsidiaries  of  the  group  whose  functional  currency  is  different  from  the  presentation 
currency and, moreover, corresponds to the currency of a hyperinflationary economy; its restated 
results, cash flow and financial situation are converted to  the presentation currency at the closing 
exchange rate on the date of the consolidated financial statements. 

The exchange rates used correspond to those fixed in the country where the subsidiary is located, 
whose functional currency is different to the U.S. dollar. 

Adjustments  to  the  Goodwill  and  fair  value  arising  from  the  acquisition  of  a  foreign  entity  are 
treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and are translated at the closing exchange rate or 
period informed, restated when the currency came from the functional entity of the foreign entity 
corresponds to that of a hyperinflationary economy, the adjustments for the restatement of goodwill 
are recognized in the consolidated equity. 

2.4. 

Property, plant and equipment 

The  land  of  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  and  Subsidiaries,  are  recognized  at  cost  less  any 
accumulated impairment loss. The rest of the Properties, plants and equipment are recorded, both in 
their  initial  recognition  and  in  their  subsequent  measurement,  at  their  historical  cost,  restated  for 
inflation when appropriate, less the corresponding depreciation and any loss due to deterioration. 

The  amounts  of  advances  paid  to  the  aircraft  manufacturers  are  activated  by  the  Company  under 
Construction in progress until they are received. 

Subsequent costs (replacement of components, improvements, extensions, etc.) are included in the 
value  of  the  initial  asset  or  are  recognized  as  a  separate  asset,  only  when  it  is  probable  that  the 
future economic benefits associated with the elements of property, plant and equipment, they will 
flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be determined reliably. The value of the replaced 
component is written off. The rest of the repairs and maintenance are charged to the result of the 
year in which they are incurred. 
The depreciation of the properties, plants and equipment is calculated using the linear method over 
their estimated technical useful lives; except in the case of certain technical components which are 
depreciated on the basis of cycles and hours flown. This charge is recognized in the captions "Cost 
of sale" and "Administrative expenses". 

The residual value and the useful life of the assets are reviewed and adjusted, if necessary, once a 
year. Useful lives are detailed in Note 17 (d). 

When  the  value  of  an  asset  exceeds  its  estimated  recoverable  amount,  its  value  is  immediately 
reduced to its recoverable amount. 

2.5. 

Intangible assets other than goodwill 

(a) 

Airport slots and Loyalty program 

Airport  slots  and  the  Loyalty  program  correspond  to  intangible  assets  with  indefinite  useful  lives 
and are annually tested for impairment as an integral part of the CGU Air Transport. 

Airport  Slots  correspond  to  an  administrative  authorization  to  carry  out  operations  of  arrival  and 
departure of aircraft, at a specific airport, within a certain period of time. 

The Loyalty program corresponds to the system of accumulation and exchange of points that is part 
of TAM Linhas Aereas S.A. 

The airport slots and Loyalty program were recognized at fair value under IFRS 3, as a consequence 
of the business combination with TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries. 

(b) 

Computer software  

Licenses  for  computer  software  acquired  are  capitalized  on  the  basis  of  the  costs  incurred  in 
acquiring them and preparing them for using the specific software. These costs are amortized over 
their estimated useful lives, for which the Company has been defined useful lives between 3 and 10 
years.  

Expenses related to the development or maintenance of computer software which do not qualify for 
capitalization, are shown as an expense when incurred. The personnel costs and others cost directly 
related to the production of unique and identifiable computer software controlled by the Company, 
are  shown  as  intangible  Assets  others  than  Goodwill  when  they  have  met  all  the  criteria  for 
capitalization. 

(c) 

Brands   

The  Brands  were  acquired  in  the  business  combination  with  TAM  S.A.  and  Subsidiaries  and, 
recognized at fair value under IFRS 3. The Company has defined a useful life of five years, period 
in which the value of the brands will be amortized. 

2.6. 

Goodwill 

Goodwill  represents  the  excess  of  acquisition  cost  over  the  fair  value  of  the  Company’s 
participation  in  the  net  identifiable  assets  of  the  subsidiary  or  associate  on  the  acquisition  date. 
Goodwill related to acquisition of subsidiaries is not amortized but tested for impairment annually 
or each time that there is evidence of impairment. Gains and losses on the sale of an entity include 
the book amount of the goodwill related to the entity sold.  

Losses and gains from  the sale of property, plant and equipment are calculated by comparing the 
consideration with the book value and are included in the consolidated statement of income.  

2.7. 

Borrowing costs 

Interest  costs  incurred  for  the  construction  of  any  qualified  asset  are  capitalized  over  the  time 
necessary  for  completing  and  preparing  the  asset  for  its  intended  use.  Other  interest  costs  are 
recognized in the consolidated statement of income by function when accrued.

2.8. 

Losses for impairment of non-financial assets 

(b) Equity instruments 

Goodwill and intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life are not subject to amortization and 
are  tested  annually  for  impairment,  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in  circumstances 
indicate that they might be impaired. Assets subject to amortization are tested for impairment losses 
whenever  any  event  or  change  in  circumstances  indicates  that  the  carrying  amount  may  not  be 
recoverable.  An  impairment  loss  is recognized  for  the  excess  of the  carrying  amount  of  the  asset 
over its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the fair value of an asset less the costs for 
sale  or  the  value  in  use,  whichever  is  greater.  For  the  purpose  of  evaluating  impairment  losses, 
assets  are  grouped  at the  lowest  level  for  which  there  are  largely  independent  cash  inflows  (cash 
generating unit. Non-financial assets, other than goodwill, that would have suffered an impairment 
loss are reviewed if there are indicators of reversal of losses. Impairment losses are recognized in 
the consolidated statement of income by function under "Other gains (losses)". 

2.9. 

Financial assets 

The Company classifies its financial assets in the following categories: at fair value (either through 
other comprehensive income, or through gains or losses), and at amortized cost. The classification 
depends on the business model of the entity to manage the financial assets and the contractual terms 
of the cash flows. 

The  group  reclassifies  debt  investments  when,  and  only  when,  it  changes  its  business  model  to 
manage those assets. 

In the initial recognition, the Company measures a financial asset at its fair value plus, in the case of 
a financial asset classified at amortized cost, the transaction costs that are directly attributable to the 
acquisition  of  the  financial  asset.  Transaction  costs  of  financial  assets  accounted  for  at  fair  value 
through profit or loss are recorded as expenses in the consolidated statement of income by function. 

(a) Debt instruments 

The subsequent measurement of debt instruments depends on the group's business model to manage 
the asset and cash flow characteristics of the asset. The Company has two measurement categories 
in which the group classifies its debt instruments: 

Amortized cost: the assets held for the collection of contractual cash flows where those cash flows 
represent only payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. A gain or loss on 
a  debt  investment  that  is  subsequently  measured  at  amortized  cost  and  is  not  part  of  a  hedging 
relationship  is  recognized  in  income  when  the  asset  is  derecognized  or  impaired.  Interest  income 
from these financial assets is included in financial income using the effective interest rate method. 

Fair value through profit or loss: assets that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or fair value 
trought other comprehensive income are measured at fair value through profit or loss. A gain or loss 
on  a  debt  investment  that  is  subsequently  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit or loss  and is  not 
part of a hedging relationship is recognized in profit or loss and is presented net in the consolidated 
statement of income by function within other gains / (losses) in the period or exercise in which it 
arises. 

Changes  in  the  fair  value of  financial  assets  at  fair  value through  profit  or  loss  are  recognized  in 
other gains / (losses) in the consolidated statement of income by function as appropriate. 

The Company evaluates in advance the expected credit losses associated with its debt instruments 
recorded  at  amortized  cost.  The  applied  impairment  methodology  depends  on  whether  there  has 
been a significant increase in credit risk. 

2.10.  Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities 

Until December 31, 2020 the Company recognized the hedging derivatives in accordance with IAS 
39, as of January 1, 2021 the Company changed the recognition of these derivatives in accordance 
with IFRS 9 and continues to recognize under this same standard the derivatives that do not qualify 
as hedges. 

Initially at fair value on the date on which the derivative contract was made and are subsequently 
valued at their fair value. The method to recognize the resulting loss or gain depends on whether the 
derivative designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. 

The Company designates certain derivatives as: 

(a) 

(b) 

Hedge  of  an  identified  risk  associated  with  a  recognized  liability  or  an  expected                  
highly- Probable transaction (cash-flow hedge), or  
Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting. 

At the beginning of the transaction, the Company documents the economic relationship between the 
hedged  items  existing  between  the  hedging  instruments  and  the  hedged  items,  as  well  as  its 
objectives  for  risk  management  and  the  strategy  to  carry  out  various  hedging  operations.  The 
Company  also  documents  its  assessment,  both  at  the  beginning  and  on  an  ongoing  basis,  as  to 
whether  the  derivatives  used  in  the  hedging  transactions  are  highly  effective  in  offsetting  the 
changes in the fair value or cash flows of the items being hedged. 

The  total  fair  value  of  the  hedging  derivatives  is  booked  as  Other  non-current  financial  asset  or 
liability  if  the  remaining  maturity  of  the  item  hedged  is  over  12  months,  and  as  an  other  current 
financial  asset  or  liability  if  the  remaining  term  of  the  item  hedged  is  less  than  12  months. 
Derivatives not booked as hedges are classified as Other financial assets or liabilities. 

(a) 

Cash flow hedges 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as 
cash  flow  hedges  is  shown  in  the  statement  of  other  comprehensive  income.  The  loss  or  gain 
relating  to  the  ineffective  portion  is  recognized  immediately  in  the  consolidated  statement  of 
income  by  function  under other  gains (losses).  Amounts  accumulated  in  equity are  reclassified  to 
profit or loss in the periods or exercise when the hedged item affects profit or loss. 

For  fuel  price  hedges,  the  amounts  shown  in  the  statement  of  other  comprehensive  income  are 
reclassified to results under the line item Cost of sales to the extent that the fuel subject to the hedge 
is used.

Gains or losses related to the effective part of the change in the intrinsic value of the options are 
recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. Changes in the time value of the options 
related to the part are recognized within Other Consolidated Comprehensive Income in the costs of 
the hedge reserve within equity. 

When hedging instrument mature, is sold or fails to meet the requirements to be accounted for as 
hedges,  any  gain  or  loss  accumulated  in  the  statement  of  Other  comprehensive  income  until  that 
moment,  remains  in  the  statement  of  other  comprehensive  income  and  is  reclassified  to  the 
consolidated statement of income when the hedged transaction is finally recognized.  

When  it  is  expected  that  the  hedged  transaction  is  no  longer  going  to  occur,  the  gain  or  loss 
accumulated  in  the  statement  of  other  comprehensive  income  is  taken  immediately  to  the 
consolidated statement of income by function as “Other gains (losses)”. 

(b) 

Derivatives not booked as a hedge 

The  changes  in  fair  value  of  any  derivative  instrument  that  is  not  booked  as  a  hedge  are  shown 
immediately in the consolidated statement of income in “Other gains (losses)”. 

2.11. 

Inventories 

Inventories, are shown at the lower of cost and their net realizable value. The cost is determined on 
the  basis  of  the  weighted  average  cost  method  (WAC).  The  net  realizable  value  is  the  estimated 
selling price in the normal course of business, less estimated costs necessary to make the sale. 

2.14.  Capital 

The common shares are classified as net equity. 

Incremental  costs  directly  attributable  to  the  issuance  of  new  shares  or  options  are  shown  in  net 
equity as a deduction from the proceeds received from the placement of shares. 

2.15.  Trade and other accounts payables 

Trade payables and other accounts payable are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently at 
amortized cost.  

2.16. 

Interest-bearing loans 

Financial liabilities are shown initially at their fair value, net of the costs incurred in the transaction. 
Later,  these  financial  liabilities  are  valued  at  their  amortized  cost;  any  difference  between  the 
proceeds obtained (net of the necessary arrangement costs) and the repayment value, is shown in 
the consolidated statement of income during the term of the debt, according to the effective interest 
rate method. 

Financial liabilities are classified in current and non-current liabilities according to the contractual 
payment dates of the nominal principal. 

2.17.  Current and deferred taxes 

2.12.  Trade and other accounts receivable 

The tax expense for the period or exercise comprises income and deferred taxes. 

Commercial accounts receivable are initially recognized at their fair value and subsequently at their 
amortized  cost  in  accordance  with  the  effective  rate  method,  less  the  provision  for  impairment 
according to the model of the expected credit losses. The Company applies the simplified approach 
permitted  by  IFRS  9,  which  requires  that  expected  lifetime  losses  be  recognized  upon  initial 
recognition of accounts receivable. 

In  the  event  that  the  Company  transfers  its  rights  to  any  financial  asset  (generally  accounts 
receivable)  to  a  third  party  in  exchange  for  a  cash  payment,  the  Company  evaluates  whether  all 
risks and rewards have been transferred, in which case the account receivable is derecognized. 

The existence of significant financial difficulties on the part of the  debtor, the probability that the 
debtor goes bankrupt or financial reorganization are considered indicators of a significant increase 
in credit risk. 

The  carrying  amount  of  the  asset  is  reduced  as  the  provision  account  is  used  and  the  loss  is 
recognized in the consolidated income statement under "Cost of sales". When an account receivable 
is written off, it is regularized against the provision account for the account receivable. 

2.13.  Cash and cash equivalents 

Cash and cash equivalents include cash and bank balances, time deposits in financial institutions, 
and other short-term and highly liquid investments and a low risk of loss of value. 

The current income tax expense is calculated based on tax laws in enacted the date of statement of 
financial  position,  in  the  countries  in  which  the  subsidiaries  and  associates  operate  and  generate 
taxable income.  

Deferred taxes are recognized, on the temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets 
and  liabilities  and  their  carrying  amounts  in  the  consolidated  financial  statements.  However, 
deferred  income  tax  is  not  accounted  for  if  it  arises  from  the  initial  recognition  of  an  assets  or  a 
liability in transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction does not 
affect the accounting or the taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is determined using the tax rates (and 
laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the date of the consolidated statements of 
financial position, and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the 
deferred tax liability discharged. 

Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent it is probable that the future taxable profit will 
be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. 

The tax (current and deferred) is recognized in statement of income by function, unless it relates to 
an  item  recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income,  directly  in equity.  In  this  case the tax  is also 
recognized  in  other  comprehensive  income  or,  directly  in  the  statement  of  income  by  function, 
respectively.

2.18.  Employee benefits 

(a)   

Personnel vacations 

The Company recognizes the expense for personnel vacations on an accrual basis.   

(b)   

Share-based compensation 

The  compensation plans  implemented  based  on  the shares  of  the  Company  are  recognized in  the 
consolidated  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  IFRS  2:  Share-based  payments,  for  plans 
based  on  the  granting  of  options,  the  effect  of  fair  value  is  recorded  in  equity  with  a  charge  to 
remuneration in a linear manner between the date of grant of said options and the date on which 
they become irrevocable, for the plans considered as cash settled award the fair value, updated as of 
the  closing  date  of  each  reporting  period  or  exercise,  is  recorded  as  a  liability  with  charge  to 
remuneration. 

(c)        Post-employment and other long-term benefits 

Provisions  are  made  for  these  obligations  by  applying  the  method  of  the  projected  unit  credit 
method, and considering estimates of future permanence, mortality rates and future wage increases 
determined on the basis of actuarial calculations. The discount rates are determined by reference to 
market interest-rate curves. Actuarial gains or losses are shown in other comprehensive income. 

(d)   

Incentives 

The  Company  has an annual incentives  plan  for its personnel  for  compliance  with  objectives  and 
individual contribution to the results. The incentives eventually granted consist of a given number 
or portion of monthly remuneration and the provision is made on the basis of the amount estimated 
for distribution.  

(e)  

Termination benefits  

The group recognizes termination benefits at the earlier of the following dates: (a) when the group 
terminates laboral relation; and (b) when the entity recognizes costs for a restructuring that is within 
the scope of IAS 37 and involves the payment of terminations benefits. 

2.19.  Provisions 

Provisions are recognized when:  

(i) 

The Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of a past event; 

(ii) 

It is probable that payment is going to be required to settle an obligation; and 

(iii) 

A reliable estimate of the obligation amount can be made. 

2.20.  Revenue from contracts with customers  

(a) Transportation of passengers and cargo 

The  Company  recognizes  the  sale  for  the  transportation  service  as  a  deferred  income  liability, 
which is recognized as income when the transportation service has been lent or expired. In the case 
of air transport services sold by the Company and that will be made by other airlines, the liability is 
reduced  when they  are remitted  to said  airlines. The  Company  periodically  reviews  whether  it  is 
necessary to make an adjustment to deferred income liabilities, mainly related to returns, changes, 
among others. 

Compensations  granted  to  clients  for  changes  in  the  levels  of  services  or  billing  of  additional 
services such as additional baggage, change of seat, among others, are considered modifications of 
the initial contract, therefore, they are deferred until the corresponding service is provided. 

(b) Expiration of air tickets 

The Company estimates in a monthly basis the probability of expiration of air tickets, with refund 
clauses, based on the history of use of the same. Air tickets without refund clause are expired on the 
date of the flight in case the passenger does not show up. 

(c) Costs associated with the contract 

The costs related to the sale of air tickets are activated and deferred until the moment of providing 
the corresponding service. These assets are included under the heading "Other current non-financial 
assets" in the Consolidated Classified Statement of Financial Position. 

(d) Frequent passenger program 

The Company  maintains the following loyalty  programs: LATAM Pass and LATAM Pass Brasil, 
whose objective is building customer loyalty through the delivery of miles or points. 

These programs give their frequent passengers the possibility of earning LATAMPASS’s miles or 
points,  which  grant  the  right  to  a  selection  of  both  air  and  non-air  awards.  Additionally,  the 
Company  sells  the  LATAMPASS  miles  or  points  to  financial  and  non-financial  partners  through 
commercial alliances to award miles or points to their customers. 

To  reflect  the  miles  and  points  earned,  the  loyalty  program  mainly  includes  two  types  of 
transactions  that  are  considered  revenue  arrangements  with  multiple  performance  obligations:  (1) 
Passenger  Ticket  Sales  Earning  miles  or  points  (2)  miles  or  points  sold  to  financial  and  non-
financial partner 

(1)  Passenger Ticket Sales Earning Miles or Points.  
In this case, the miles or points are awarded to customers at the time that the company performs the 
flight. 

To  value  the  miles  or  points  earned  with  travel,  we  consider  the  quantitative  value  a  passenger 
receives by redeeming miles for a ticket rather than paying cash, which is referred to as Equivalent 
Ticket Value ("ETV"). Our estimate of ETV is adjusted for miles and point that are not likely to be 
redeemed ("breakage").  

The balance of miles and point that are pending to redeem are include on deferred revenue.

(2)  Miles sold to financial and non-financial partner 

To  value  the  miles  or  points  earns  through  financial  and  non-financial  partners,the  performance 
obligations  with  the  client  are  estimated  separately.  To  calculate  these  performance  obligations, 
different  components  that  add  value  in  the  commercial  contract  must  be  considered,  such  as 
marketing, advertising and other benefits, and finally the value of the points awarded to customers 
based on our ETV. The value of each of these components is finally allocated in proportion to their 
relative  prices.  The  performance  obligations  associated  with  the  valuation  of  the  points  or  miles 
earned  become  part  of  the  Deferred  Revenue,  and  the  remaining  performance  obligations,  are 
recorded as revenue when the  miles or points are delivered to the client. 

When the miles and points are exchanged for products and services other than the services provided 
by the Company, the income is recognized immediately, when the exchange is made for air tickets 
of any airline of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and subsidiaries, the income is deferred until the air 
transport service is provided.  

The  miles  and  points  that  the  Company  estimates  will  not  be  exchanged  are  recognized  in  the 
results based on the consumption pattern of the miles or points effectively exchanged by customers. 
The  Company  uses  statistical  models  to  estimate  the  probability  of  exchange,  which  is  based  on 
historical patterns and projections. 

(e) Dividend income 

Dividend income is recognized when the right to receive payment is established. 

2.21.  Leases 

The Company recognizes contracts that meet the definition of a lease, as a right of use asset and a 
lease liability on the date when the underlying asset is available for use. 

Assets for right of use are measured at cost including the following: 

-  The amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; 
-  Lease payment made at or before commencement date; 
- 
-  Restoration costs. 

Initial direct costs, and 

The assets by right of use are recognized in the statement of financial position in Properties, plants 
and equipment. 

Lease liabilities include the net present value of the following payments: 

-  Fixed payments including in substance fixed payment. 
-  Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate; 
-  The exercise price of a purchase options, if is reasonably certain to exercise that option. 

The  Company  determines the  present  value  of the lease  payments  using  the  implicit  rates for  the 
aircraft leasing contracts and for the rest of the underlying assets, uses the incremental borrowing 
rate. 

Lease  liabilities  are  recognized  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  under  Other  financial 
liabilities, current or non-current.  

Interest  accrued  on  financial  liabilities  is  recognized  in  the  consolidated  statement  of  income  in 
"Financial costs".  

Principal and interest are present in the consolidated cash flow as "Payments of lease liability" and 
"Interest paid", respectively, in cash flows use in financing activities 

Payments associated with short-term leases without purchase options and leases of low-value assets 
are recognized on a straight-line basis in profit or loss at the time of accrual. Those payments are 
presented in cash flows use in operation activities. 

The  Company  analyzes  the  financing  agreements  of  aircrafts,  mainly  considering  characteristics 
such as:  

(a) that the Company initially acquired the aircraft or took an important part in the process of direct 
acquisition with the manufacturers. 

(b)  Due  to  the  contractual  conditions,  it  is  virtually  certain  that  the  Company  will  execute  the 
purchase option of the aircraft at the end of the lease term.  

Since these financing agreements are “substantially purchases” and not leases, the related liability 
is considered as a financial debt classified under to IFRS 9 and continue to be presented within the 
“Other financial liabilities” described in Note 19. On the other hand, the aircraft are presented in 
Property, Plants and Equipment, as described in Note 17, as “own aircraft”. 

The Group qualifies as sale and lease transactions, operations that lead to a sale according to IFRS 
15. More specifically, a sale is considered as such if there is no option to purchase the goods at the 
end of the lease term. 

If  the  sale  by  the  seller-lessee  is  classified  as  a  sale  in  accordance  with  IFRS  15,  the  underlying 
asset  is  derecognized,  and  a  right-of-use  asset  equal  to  the  portion  retained  proportionally  of  the 
amount of the asset is recognized. 

If the sale by the seller-lessee is not classified as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the transferred 
assets  are  kept  in  the  financial  statements  and  a  financial  liability  equal  to  the  sale  price  is 
recognized (received from the buyer-lessor). 

The Company has applied the practical solution allowed by IFRS 16 for those contracts that meet 
the established requirements and that allows a lessee to choose not to evaluate if the concessions 
that it obtains derived from COVID-19 are a modification of the lease.

their book value and the fair value less costs to sell. 

NOTE 3 - FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

3.1. 

Financial risk factors 

2.23.  Maintenance 

The  costs  incurred  for  scheduled  heavy  maintenance  of  the  aircraft’s  fuselage  and  engines  are 
capitalized  and  depreciated  until  the  next  maintenance.  The  depreciation  rate  is  determined  on 
technical grounds, according to the use of the aircraft expressed in terms of cycles and flight hours. 

In case of aircraft include in property, plant and equipment, these maintenance cost are capitalized 
as Property, plant and equipment, while in the case of aircraft on right of use, a liability is accrued 
based  on  the  use  of  the  main  components  is  recognized,  since  a  contractual  obligation  with  the 
lessor to return the aircraft on agreed terms of maintenance levels exists. These are recognized as 
Cost of sales. 

Additionally, some contracts that comply with the definition of lease establish the obligation of the 
lessee  to  make  deposits  to  the  lessor  as  a  guarantee  of  compliance  with  maintenance  and  return 
conditions.  These  deposits,  often  called  maintenance  reserves,  accumulate  until  a  major 
maintenance  is  performed,  once  made,  the  recovery  is  requested  to  the  lessor.  At  the  end  of  the 
contract period, there is comparison between the reserves that have been paid and required return 
conditions, and compensation between the parties are made if applicable. 

The  Company  is  exposed  to  different  financial  risks:  (a)  market  risk,  (b)  credit  risk,  and  (c) 
liquidity risk. The program overall risk management of the Company aims to minimize the adverse 
effects of financial risks affecting the company. 

(a)    Market risk 

Due to the nature of its operations, the Company is exposed to market factors such as: (i) fuel-price 
risk, (ii) exchange -rate risk (FX), and (iii) interest -rate risk. 

The  Company  has  developed  policies  and  procedures  for  managing  market  risk,  which  aim  to 
identify, quantify, monitor and mitigate the adverse effects of changes in market factors mentioned 
above. 

For  the  foregoing,  Management  monitors  the  evolution  of  fuel  price  levels,  exchange  rates  and 
interest rates, quantifies exposures and their risk, and develops and executes hedging strategies. 

(i) 

Fuel-price risk: 

Exposure: 

The unscheduled maintenance of aircraft and engines, as well as minor maintenance, are charged to 
results as incurred. 

For the execution of its operations the Company purchases a fuel called Jet Fuel grade 54 USGC, 
which is subject to the fluctuations of international fuel prices. 

2.24.  Environmental costs 

Mitigation: 

Disbursements related to environmental protection are charged to results when incurred or accrue. 

To  hedge  the  risk  exposure  fuel,  the  Company  operates  with  derivative  instruments  (swaps  and 
options) whose underlying assets may be different from Jet Fuel, such as West Texas Intermediate 
(“WTI”)  crude,  Brent  (“BRENT”)  crude  and  distillate  Heating  Oil  (“HO”),  which  have  a  high 
correlation with Jet Fuel and greater liquidity. 

Fuel Hedging Results: 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company recognized profit of US$ 10.1 million for fuel hedge net of 
premiums  in  the  costs  of  sale  for  the  year.  During  the  same  period  of  2020,  the  Company 
recognized losses of US$ 14,3 million for the same concept. 

As of December 31, 2021 the market value of the fuel positions was US$ 17.6 million (positive). At 
the end of December 2020, this market value was US$ 1.3 million (positive).

Sensitivity analysis 

A  drop  in  fuel  price  positively  affects  the  Company  through  a  reduction  in  costs.  However,  also 
negatively affects contracted positions as these are acquired to protect the Company against the risk 
of  a  rise  in  price.  The  policy  therefore  is  to  maintain  a  hedge-free  percentage  in  order  to  be 
competitive in the event of a drop in price. 

The current hedge positions are booked as cash flow hedge contracts, so a variation in the fuel price 
has an impact on the Company’s net equity. 

The following tables show the sensitivity of financial instruments according to reasonable  changes 
in the price of fuel and their effect on equity. 

The calculations were made considering a parallel movement of US$ 5 per barrel in the underlying 
reference price curve at the end of December 2021 and the end of December 2020. The projection 
period was defined until the end of the last fuel hedging contract in force, corresponding to the last 
business day of the fourth quarter of the year 2022.

Given the fuel hedging structure during half – year 2021, which considers a portion free of hedges, 
a  vertical  drop  of  5  dollars  in  the JET  reference  price  (considered as  the  monthly  daily  average), 
would  have  meant  an  impact  of  approximately  US$  79.2  million  lower  fuel  cost.  For  the  same 
period,  a  vertical  rise  of  5  dollars  in  the  JET  reference  price  (considered  as  the  monthly  daily 
average), would have meant an approximate impact of US$ 80.8 million in higher fuel costs. 

(ii) 

Foreign exchange rate risk: 

Exposure: 

The functional and presentation currency of the financial statements of the Parent Company is the 
US dollar, so that the risk of the Transactional and Conversion exchange rate arises mainly from the 
Company's business, strategic and accounting operating activities that are expressed in a monetary 
unit other than the functional currency. 

The  subsidiaries  of  LATAM  are  also  exposed  to  foreign  exchange  risk  whose  impact  affects  the 
Company's Consolidated Income. 

The  largest  operational  exposure  to  LATAM's  exchange  risk  comes  from  the  concentration  of 
businesses  in  Brazil,  which  are  mostly  denominated  in  Brazilian  Real  (BRL),  and  are  actively 
managed by the company. 

At a lower concentration, the Company is also exposed to the fluctuation of other currencies, such 
as:  Euro,  Pound  sterling,  Australian  dollar,  Colombian  peso,  Chilean  peso,  Argentine  peso, 
Paraguayan Guarani, Mexican peso, Peruvian Sol and New Zealand dollar. 

Mitigation: 

The  Company  mitigates  currency  risk  exposures  by  contracting  derivative  instruments  or  through 
natural hedges or execution of internal operations. 

Exchange Rate Hedging Results (FX): 

With the objective of reducing exposure to the exchange rate risk in the operational cash flows of 
2021, and securing the operating margin, LATAM makes hedges using FX derivatives. 

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company did not maintain FX derivatives. 

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  did  not  recognize  earnings  for  FX 
coverage  net  of  premiums.  During  the  same  period  of  2020,  the  Company  recognized  gains  of                    
US$ 3.2 million for FX hedging net of premiums. 

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the company does not hold FX derivatives that 
are not recognized as hedge accounting. 

Sensitivity analysis: 

A  depreciation  of  the  R$/US$  exchange  rate,  negatively  affects  the  Company's  operating  cash 
flows, however, also positively affects the value of the positions of derivatives contracted. 

FX derivatives are recorded as cash flow hedge contracts; therefore, a variation in the exchange rate 
has an impact on the market value of the derivatives, the changes of which affect the Company's net 
equity. 

As of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 the Company had no current FX derivatives for 
BRL.

In the case of TAM S.A, whose functional currency is the Brazilian real, a large part of its liabilities 
is expressed in US dollars. Therefore, when converting financial assets and liabilities, from dollar to 
real,  they  have  an  impact  on  the  result  of  TAM  S.A.,  which  is  consolidated  in  the  Company's 
Income Statement.  

migrate to the adoption of SOFR as an alternative rate, which will materialize with the termination 
of LIBOR. 

Mitigation: 

In order to reduce the impact on the Company's result caused by appreciations or depreciations of   
R $ / US $, the Company has executed internal operations to reduce the net exposure in US $ for 
TAM S.A. 

At  the  end  of  December  31,  the  Company  did  not  have  current  interest  rate  derivative  positions. 
Currently a  40%  (42%  at December  31,  2020)  of  the  debt is  fixed  to fluctuations in interest  rate. 
Most of this debt is indexed to a benchmark rate based on LIBOR.

Effects of exchange rate derivatives in the Financial Statements 

The  profit  or  losses  caused  by  changes  in  the  fair  value  of  hedging  instruments  are  segregated 
between  intrinsic  value  and  temporary  value.  The  intrinsic  value  is  the  actual  percentage  of  cash 
flow covered, initially shown in equity and later transferred to income, while the hedge transaction 
is  recorded  in  income.  The  temporary  value  corresponds  to  the  ineffective  portion  of  cash  flow 
hedge which is recognized in the financial results of the Company (Note 19). 

Due  to the  functional  currency  of TAM  S.A.  and  Subsidiaries  is  the  Brazilian real, the  Company 
presents the effects of the exchange rate fluctuations in Other comprehensive income by converting 
the Statement of financial position and Income statement of TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries from their 
functional  currency  to  the  U.S.  dollar,  which  is  the  presentation  currency  of  the  consolidated 
financial statement of LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.

Interest -rate risk:  

Exposure: 

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates affecting the markets future cash flows of 
the assets, and current and future financial liabilities. 

The  Company  is  exposed  in  one  portion  to  the  variations  of  London  Inter-Bank  Offer  Rate 
(“LIBOR”)  and  other  interest  rates  of  less  relevance  are  Brazilian  Interbank  Deposit  Certificate 
("IDC").  Because  the  publication  of  LIBOR  will  cease  for June  2023,  the  company  has  begun  to 

To  mitigate  the  effect  of  those  derivatives  that  will  be  affected  by  the  transition  from  LIBOR  to 
SOFR, the Company is evaluating adherence to the ISDA protocol in the case of derivatives and is 
following  the  recommendations  of  the  relevant  authorities,  including  the  Alternative  Reference 
Rates Committee. ("ARRC") in the case of debt, in line with the measures generally adopted by the 
market for the replacement of LIBOR in debt contracts. 

Rate Hedging Results: 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company did not hold current interest rate derivative positions. At 
the end of December 2020, the Company did not hold current interest rate derivative positions. 

Sensitivity analysis: 

The  following  table  shows  the  sensitivity  of  changes  in  financial  obligations  that  are  not  hedged 
against interest-rate variations. These changes are considered reasonably possible, based on current 
market conditions each date.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company does not hold current interest rate derivative positions. The 
above calculations were vertically increased (decreased) 100 basis points of the three-month Libor 
future curve, both scenarios being reasonably possible based on historical market conditions. 

The assumptions of sensitivity calculation must assume that forward curves of interest rates do not 
necessarily reflect the real value of the compensation flows. Moreover, the structure of interest rates 
is dynamic over time.  

On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration (“IBA”) announced that, as a result of little 
access to the information necessary for calculating rates, the publication of the 1-week, 2-months 
USD rates will cease to be published on December 31, 2021 and the remaining terms will cease on 
June  30,  2023.  Although  the  adoption  of  alternative  rates  is  voluntary,  the  impending 
discontinuation of LIBOR makes it essential that market participants consider moving to alternative 
rates  such  as  SOFR  and  that  they  have  appropriate  alternative  language  in  existing  contracts  that 
reference the  discontinuation  of  LIBOR.  In  this  regard, the  Company  identifies  that its  derivative 
and  debt  contracts  may  be  affected  by  the  change  in  the  relevant  rate. To  mitigate  the  effect,  the

Company is evaluating adherence to the ISDA protocol in the case of derivatives and is following 
the  recommendations  of  the  relevant  authorities,  including  the  Alternative  Reference  Rates 
Committee ("ARRC") in the case of debt, online with the measures generally adopted by the market 
for the replacement of LIBOR in debt contracts. 

Currently, the Company only has fuel derivatives with a nominal value equivalent to 21%'s hedge 
of the total consumption expected for the next 12 months. 

(b) 

Credit risk 

Credit  risk  occurs  when  the  counterparty  does  not  meet  its  obligations  to  the  Company  under  a 
specific  contract  or  financial  instrument,  resulting  in  a  loss  in  the  market  value  of  a  financial 
instrument  (only  financial  assets,  not  liabilities).  The  client  portfolio  at  December  31,  2021 
increased  when  compared  to  the  balance  as  of  December  31,  2020  by  48%,  mainly  due  to  an 
increase in passenger transport operations (travel agencies and corporate) that increased by 124% in 
sales,  mainly  from  a  68%  of  credit  card  payments  and  32%  in  cash  sales.  Instead,  the  cargo 
business  showed  a  increase  in  its  net  income  of  23%  compared  to  December  2020.  The  cargo 
business increase in its operation in a 23% compared to December 2020. In the case of clients who 
still  have  pending  balances  and  that  the  administration  considered  risky,  the  corresponding 
measures were taken to consider expected credit loss The provision at the end of December 2021 
had a decrease of 34% compared to December 31, 2020, as a result of the decrease in the portfolio 
for recoveries and for the application of write-offs in the years. 

The Company is exposed to credit risk due to its operational activities and its financial activities, 
including deposits with banks and financial institutions, investments in other types of instruments, 
exchange rate transactions and contracting derivative instruments or options. 

To  reduce  the  credit  risk  related  to  operational  activities,  the  Company  has  implemented  credit 
limits  to  limit  the  exposure  of  its  debtors,  which  are  permanently  monitored  for  the  LATAM 
network, when deemed necessary, agencies have been blocked for cargo and passenger businesses. 

(i) 

Financial activities 

Cash  surpluses  that  remain  after  the  financing  of  assets  necessary  for  the  operation  are  invested 
according to credit limits approved by the Company’s Board, mainly in time deposits with different 
financial  institutions,  private  investment  funds,  short-term  mutual  funds,  and  easily-liquidated 
corporate  and  sovereign  bonds  with short remaining maturities. These investments are  booked  as 
Cash and cash equivalents and other current financial assets. 

In order to reduce counterparty risk and to ensure that the risk assumed is known and managed by 
the  Company,  investments  are  diversified  among  different  banking  institutions  (both  local  and 
international).  The  Company  evaluates  the  credit  standing  of  each  counterparty  and  the  levels  of 
investment,  based  on  (i)  their  credit  rating,  (ii)  the  equity  size  of  the  counterparty,  and                             
(iii)  investment  limits  according  to  the  Company’s  level  of  liquidity.  According  to  these  three 
parameters, the Company chooses the most restrictive parameter of the previous three and based on 
this, establishes limits for operations with each counterparty. 
The Company has no guarantees to mitigate this exposure. 

Additionally, section 345(b) of the Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code imposes restrictions on, 
among  other  things,  the  institutions  where  the  Debtors  can  hold  their  cash.  In  particular,  it 
establishes that cash should be held in what are called Authorized Bank Depositories, which are US 
Banking Institutions that are accepted by the US Trustee Program of the US Department of Justice.  
Such  Authorized  Bank  Depositories  have  generally  agreed  with  the  US  Trustee  Program  to 
maintain  collateral  of  no  less  than  115%  of  the  aggregate  funds  on  deposit  (in  excess  of  FDIC 
insurance limit) by (i) surety bond or (ii) US Treasury securities. Consequently, pursuant to Section 
345(b), as implemented through an agreement with the Office of the United States Trustee, as of 
the year end the Company held the majority of its cash and equivalents in Banks in the US that are 
depositories  authorized  by  Office  of  the  United  States  Trustee  for  the  Southern  District  of  New 
York.  Otherwise,  the  DIP  Facility  contains  certain  restrictions  on  new  investments  made  by  the 
Debtors during the term of the facility. 

(ii)       Operational activities 

The Company has four large sales “clusters”: travel agencies, cargo agents, airlines and credit-card 
administrators.  The  first  three  are  governed  by  International  Air  Transport  Association, 
international  (“IATA”)  organization  comprising  most  of  the  airlines  that  represent  over  90%  of 
scheduled commercial traffic and one of its main objectives is to regulate the financial transactions 
between  airlines  and  travel  agents  and  cargo.  When  an  agency  or  airline  does  not  pay  their  debt, 
they  are  excluded  from  operating  with  IATA’s  member  airlines.  In  the  case  of  credit-card 
administrators, they are fully guaranteed by 100% by the issuing institutions. 

Under certain of the Company’s credit card processing agreements, the financial institutions have 
the right to require that the Company maintain a reserve equal to a portion of advance ticket sales 
that  have  been  processed  by  that  financial  institution,  but  for  which  the  Company  has  not  yet 
provided  the  air  transportation.  Additionally,  the  financial  institutions  have  the  ability  to  require 
additional  collateral  reserves  or  withhold  payments  related  to  receivables  to  be  collected  if 
increased risk is perceived related to liquidity covenants in these agreements or negative balances 
occur. 

The exposure consists of the term granted, which fluctuates between 1 and 45 days. 

One of the tools the Company uses for reducing credit risk is to participate in global entities related 
to  the  industry,  such  as  IATA,  Business  Sales  Processing  (“BSP”),  Cargo  Account  Settlement 
Systems  (“CASS”),  IATA  Clearing  House  (“ICH”)  and  banks  (credit  cards).  These  institutions 
fulfill the role of collectors and distributors between airlines and travel and cargo agencies. In the 
case of the Clearing House, it acts as an offsetting entity between airlines for the services provided 
between  them.  A  reduction  in  term  and  implementation  of  guarantees  has  been  achieved  through 
these entities. Currently the sales invoicing of TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. related with  travel agents 
and cargo agents for domestic transportation in Brazil is done directly by TAM Linhas Aéreas S.A. 

Credit quality of financial assets 

The external credit evaluation system used by the Company is provided by IATA. Internal systems 
are also used for particular evaluations or specific markets based on trade reports available on the 
local  market.  The  internal  classification  system  is  complementary  to  the  external  one,  i.e.  for 
agencies or airlines not members of IATA, the internal demands are greater.

To reduce the credit risk associated with operational activities, the Company has established credit 
limits to abridge the exposure of their debtors which are monitored permanently (mainly in case of 
operational  activities  of  TAM  Linhas  Aéreas  S.A.  with  travel  agents).  The  bad-debt  rate  in  the 
principal countries where the Company has a presence is insignificant. 

(c) 

Liquidity risk 

Liquidity  risk  represents  the  risk  that  the  Company  does  not  have  sufficient  funds  to  pay  its 
obligations. 

Due to the cyclical nature of its business, the operation and investment needs, along with the need 
for financing, the Company requires liquid funds, defined as Cash and cash equivalents plus other 
short-term financial assets, to meet its payment obligations. On May 26, 2020, the Company and its 
subsidiaries in Chile, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador and the United States began a voluntary process of 
reorganization and restructuring of their debt under the protection of the Chapter 11 of the United 
States, to which on July 9, the Brazilian subsidiary and certain of its subsidiaries were included, in 
order to preserve the group's liquidity. In light of the unprecedented impact COVID-19 has had on 
the global aviation industry, this reorganization process provides LATAM with the opportunity to 
work with the group's creditors, and main stakeholders, to reduce its debt and obtain new sources of 
financing, providing the company with the tools to adapt the group to this new reality. 

The balance of liquid funds, future cash generation and the ability to obtain financing, provides the 
Company with alternatives to meet future investment and financing commitments. 

As of December 31, 2021, the balance of liquid funds is US$ 1,047 million (US $ 1,696 million as 
of December 31, 2020), which are invested in short-term instruments through financial entities with 
a high credit rating classification. 

As  of  December  31,  2021,  LATAM  maintains  a  committed  revolving  credit  facility  (Revolving 
Credit Facility) for a total amount of US$ 600 million, which is fully drawn. This line is secured by 
and subject to the availability of collateral (i.e. aircraft, engines and spare parts). 

Finally,  during  the  fourth  quarter  of  2021,  the  company  has  reduced  budgeted  investments  by 
approximately US$ 146 million, mainly related to maintenance, given the lower operation, purchase 
of engines, investments in cabins and other projects. In addition, LATAM has not received aircraft 
that  it  was  committed  to  receiving  in  2021,  which  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  reached  US$  773 
million. 

After filing Chapter 11 protection, the company received authorization from the Bankruptcy Court 
for the “debtors in possession” (DIP) financing, in the form of a multi-draw term loan facility in an 
aggregate  principal  amount  of  up  to  US$  3.2  billion  divided  in  Tranche  A,  B  and  C.  Initially, 
Tranches A and C were committed for a total of US$2.45 billion. To date, these three tranches are 
fully committed after the approval on October 18 of a proposal to grant financing under Tranche B 
of the DIP for a total of US$750 million, thus allowing LATAM to access lower financing costs in 
the next disbursements of the DIP financing.  

1) A Tranche A, which is committed for up to US$ 1.3 billion, out of which (i) US$ 1.125 billion 
were  be  provided  by  Oaktree  Capital  Management,  L.P.  or  certain  entities  related  to  it;  and           

(ii) US$ 175 million were be provided by Knighthead, Jefferies and / or other entities that are part 
of the syndicate of creditors organized by Jefferies; 

2)  A  Tranche  B  for  an  amount  up  to  US  $750  million  that  will  be  contributed  by  a  group  of 
financiers including Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. and Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. and 
other certain funds advised by them; and 

3) A Tranche C for a capital amount of up to US$ 1.15 billion, of which (i) US$ 750 million was 
provided by a certain group of LATAM's shareholders composed by Grupo Cueto, Grupo Eblen and 
Qatar  Airways,  or  certain  related  entities;  (ii)  US$  250  million  was  provided  by  Knighthead, 
Jefferies and / or other entities that are part of the syndicate of creditors organized by Jefferies; and 
(iii)  US$  150  million  which  was  committed  by  certain  additional  shareholder  investors through  a 
public  investment  fund  managed  by  Toesca  S.A.,  through  a  “joinder”  or  supplement  to  the  “DIP 
Agreement” subscripted on November 6, 2020. 

In consideration of the extension of the health and mobility restrictions imposed by the authorities 
in  the  countries  where  the  group  operates,  as  well  as  the  analysis  of  the  company's  liquidity 
projection,  beginning  on  October  8,  2020,  LATAM  has  made  four  withdrawals  under  the  DIP 
Credit Agreement. In accordance with the terms of the “DIP  Agreement”, Debtors must maintain 
consolidated liquidity  of  at  least  US  $  400  million, considering  the  undrawn  line  of  the  DIP,  and 
meet certain milestones with respect to the chapter 11 process.

The  Company  has  fuel,  interest  rate  and  exchange  rate  hedging  strategies  involving  derivatives 
contracts with different financial institutions.  

At the end of 2020, the Company had delivered US$ 3 million in guarantees for derivative margins 
corresponding  to  cash  and  stanby  letters  of  credit.  As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company 
maintains guarantees for US$ 5.5 million corresponding to derivative transactions. The increase was 
due to: i) greater subscription of hedging contracts than their maturity and ii) changes in fuel prices, 
exchange rates and interest rates. 

3.2. 

Capital risk management 

The  objectives  of  the  Company,  in  relation  to  capital  management  are:  (i)  to  meet  the  minimum 
equity requirements and (ii) to maintain an optimal capital structure. 

The  Company  monitors  contractual  obligations  and  regulatory  requirements  in  the  different 
countries  where  the  group's  companies  are  domiciled  to  ensure  faithful  compliance  with  the 
minimum  equity  requirement,  the  most  restrictive  limit  of  which  is  to  maintain  positive  liquid 
equity. 

Additionally, the Company periodically monitors the short and long term cash flow projections to 
ensure  that  it  has  sufficient  cash  generation  alternatives  to  meet  future  investment  and  financing 
commitments. 

The international credit rating of the Company is the result of the ability to meet long-term financial 
commitments. As of December 31, 2021, and as a consequence of the expected decline in demand 
due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Company's filing for voluntary protection under the U.S. 
Chapter  11  reorganization  statute,  Standard  &  Poor’s,  Moody’s  y  Fitch  Ratings  withdrew  their 
credit ratings for LATAM 

3.3.   Estimates of fair value. 

At December 31, 2021, the Company maintained financial instruments that should be recorded at 
fair value. These are grouped into two categories: 

1. 

Derivative financial instruments: 

This category includes the following instruments: 

- 

- 

Interest rate derivative contracts, 

Fuel derivative contracts, 

-  Currency derivative contracts. 

2. 

Financial Investments: 

This category includes the following instruments: 

- 

- 

Investments in short-term Mutual Funds (cash equivalent) 

Private investment funds.  

The Company has classified the fair value measurement using a hierarchy that reflects the level of 
information  used  in  the  assessment.  This  hierarchy  consists  of  3  levels  (I)  fair  value  based  on 
quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, (II) fair value calculated through 
valuation  methods  based  on  inputs  other  than  quoted  prices  included  within  level  1  that  are 
observable for the asset or liability, either directly (that is, as prices) or indirectly (that is, derived 
from  prices)  and  (III)  fair  value  based  on  inputs  for  the  asset  or  liability  that  are  not  based  on 
observable market data. 

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active  markets, such as investments acquired for 
trading,  is  based  on  quoted  market  prices at  the  close  of  the period  using  the  current  price  of the 
buyer.  The  fair  value  of  financial  assets  not  traded  in  active  markets  (derivative  contracts)  is 
determined  using  valuation  techniques  that  maximize  use  of  available  market  information. 
Valuation  techniques  generally  used  by  the  Company  are  quoted  market  prices  of  similar 
instruments and / or estimating the present value of future cash flows using forward price curves of 
the market at period end. 

The following table shows the classification of financial instruments at fair value, depending on the 
level of information used in the assessment:

The book values of accounts receivable and payable are assumed to approximate their fair values, 
due to their short-term nature. In the case of cash on hand, bank balances, overnight, time deposits 
and accounts payable, non-current, fair value approximates their carrying values. 

The  fair  value  of other financial  liabilities  is estimated  by  discounting  the  future contractual  cash 
flows at the current market interest rate for similar financial instruments (Level II). In the case of 
Other financial assets, the valuation was performed according to market prices at period end. The 
book value of Other financial liabilities, current or non-current, do not include lease liabilities. 

NOTE 4 - ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS 

The  Company  has  used  estimates  to  value  and  record  some  of  the  assets,  liabilities,  income, 
expenses and commitments. Basically, these estimates refer to: 

(a)  Evaluation  of  possible  losses  due  to  impairment  of  goodwill  and  intangible  assets  with 
indefinite useful life 

Management  conducts  an  impairment  test  annually  or  more  frequently  if  events  or  changes  in 
circumstances indicate potential impairment. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by 
which the carrying amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) exceeds its recoverable amount. 

Management’s value-in-use calculations included significant judgments and assumptions relating to 
revenue  growth  rates,  exchange  rate,  discount  rate,  inflation  rates,  fuel  price.  The  estimation  of 
these  assumptions  requires  significant  judgment  by  the  management,  as  these  variables  feature 
inherent  uncertainty;  however,  the  assumptions  used  are  consistent  with  Company’s  forecasts 
approved  by  management.  Therefore,  management  evaluates  and  updates  the  estimates  as 
necessary, in light of conditions that affect these variables. The main assumptions used as well as 
the corresponding sensitivity analyses are showed in Note 15. 

(b)   Useful life, residual value, and impairment of property, plant, and equipment 

The  depreciation  of  assets  is  calculated  based  on  the  linear  model,  except  for  certain  technical 
components depreciated on cycles and hours flown. These useful lives are reviewed on an annual 
basis according with the Company’s future economic benefits associated with them.  

Changes in circumstances such as: technological advances, business model, planned use of assets or 
capital strategy may render the useful life different to the lifespan estimated. When it is determined 
that the useful life of property, plant, and equipment must be reduced, as may occur in line with 
changes  in  planned  usage  of  assets,  the  difference  between  the  net  book  value  and  estimated 
recoverable value is depreciated, in accordance with the revised remaining useful life.  

The residual values are estimated according to the market value that said assets will have at the end 
of their life. The residual value and useful life of the assets are reviewed, and adjusted if necessary, 
once a year. When the value of an asset is greater than its estimated recoverable amount, its value is 
immediately reduced to its recoverable amount. 

The Company has concluded that the Properties, Plant and Equipment cannot generate cash inflows 
to  a  large  extent  independent  of  other  assets,  therefore  the  impairment  assessment  is  made  as  an 
integral  part  of  the  only  Cash  Generating  Unit  maintained  by  the  Company,  Air  Transport.  The 
Company  checks  when  there  are  signs  of  impairment,  whether  the  assets  have  suffered  any 
impairment losses at the Cash Generated Unit level. 

(c)   Recoverability of deferred tax assets 

Management records deferred taxes on the temporary differences that arise between the tax bases of 
assets and liabilities and their amounts in the financial statements. Deferred tax assets on tax losses 
are  recognized  to  the  extent  that  it  is  probable  that  future  tax  benefits  will  be  available  to  offset 
temporary differences.

The Company applies significant judgment in evaluating the recoverability of deferred tax assets. 
In determining the amounts of the deferred tax asset to be accounted for, management considers tax 
planning  strategies  historical  profitability,  projected  future 
income  (considering 
assumptions such as: growth rate, exchange rate, discount rate, fuel price online with those used in 
the impairment analysis of the group's cash-generating unit) and the expected timing of reversals of 
existing temporary differences. 

taxable 

(d)   Air tickets sold that will not be finally used. 

The Company records the sale of air tickets as deferred income. Ordinary income from the sale of 
tickets is recognized in the income statement when the passenger transport service is provided or 
expired  for  non-use. The Company  evaluates  monthly  the  probability  of  expiration  of  air tickets, 
with  return  clauses,  based on  the  history  of  use  of  air  tickets.  A  change  in  this probability  could 
generate an impact on revenue in the year in which the change occurs and in future years.  

In  effect  and  due  to  the  worldwide  contingency  of  the  COVID  19  pandemic,  the  company  has 
established  new  commercial  policies  with  clients  regarding  the  validity  of  air  tickets,  making  it 
easier to use in flight, reissue and return, what has been considered at the time of estimating expired 
tickets. 

As  of  December  31,  2021,  deferred  income  associated  with  air  tickets  sold  amounted  to                           
ThUS $ 1,126,371 (ThUS $ 904,558 as of December 31, 2020). 

(e)    Valuation of miles and points awarded to holders of loyalty programs, pending use. 

As of December 31, 2021, the deferred income associated with the LATAM Pass loyalty program 
amounts  to  ThUS  $  1,285,732  (ThUS  $  1,365,534  as  of  December  31,  2020).  A  hypothetical 
change of one percentage point in the probability of swaps would translate into an impact of ThUS 
$ 27,151 in the results as of 2021 (ThUS $ 24,425 in the results as of 2020). The deferred income 
associated  with  the  LATAM  Pass  Brasil  loyalty  program  (See  Note  22)  amounts  to  ThUS  $ 
192,381  as  of  December  31,  2021  (ThUS  $  187,493  as  of  December  31,  2020).  A  hypothetical 
change of two percentage points in exchange probability would translate into an impact of ThUS $ 
5,100 in the results as of 2021 (ThUS $ 4,948 in the results as of 2020). 

Management  used  statistical  models  to  estimate  the  miles  and  point  awarded  that  will  not  be 
redeemed,  by  the  programs  members  (breakage)  which  involved  significant  judgments  and 
assumptions  relating  the  historical  redemption  and  expiration  activity  and  forecasted  redemption 
and expiration patterns. 

The management in conjunction with an external specialist develop a predictive model of non-use 
miles or points, which allows to generate non-use rates on the basis of historical information, based 
on behavior of the accumulation, use and expiration of the miles or points. 

 (f)   Provisions needs, and their valuation when required 

In  the  case  of  known  contingencies,  the  Company  records  a  provision  when  it  has  a  present 
obligation, whether legal or constructive, as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of 
resources will be required to settle the obligation and a reliable estimate of the obligation amount 
can  be  made.  The  assessment  of  contingencies  inherently  involves  the  exercise  of  significant 

judgment and estimates of the outcome of future events, the likelihood of loss being  incurred and 
when determining whether a reliable estimate of the loss can be made. The Company assesses its 
liabilities  and  contingencies  based  upon  the  best  information  available,  uses  the  knowledge, 
experience  and  professional  judgment  to  the  specific  characteristics  of  the  known  risks.  This 
process facilitates the early assessment and quantification of potential risks in individual cases or in 
the  development  of  contingent  matters.  If  we  are  unable  to  reliably  estimate  the  obligation  or 
conclude no loss is probable but it is reasonably possible that a loss may be incurred, no provision 
is recorded but the contingency is disclosed in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. 

Company  recognized  as  the  present  obligation  under  an  onerous  contract  as  a  provision  when  a 
contract under which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the 
economic benefits expected to be received under it. 

(g)      Leases 

(i)  Discount rate 

The  discount  rate  used  to  calculate  the  lease  debt  corresponds,  for  each  aircraft,  to  the  implicit 
interest rate calculated by the contractual elements and residual market values. The implicit rate of 
the  contract  is  the  discount  rate  that  gives  the  aggregate  present  value  of  the  minimum  lease 
payments and the unguaranteed residual value. 

For  assets  other  than  aircraft,  the  estimated  lessee's  incremental  loan  rate  was  used,  which  is 
derived from the information available on the lease commencement date, to determine the present 
value of the lease payments. We consider our recent debt issues, as well as publicly available data 
for instruments with similar characteristics when calculating our incremental borrowing rates. 

A decrease of one percentage point in our estimate of the rates used as in the calculation of the new 
and  amendment  contract  as  of  December  31,  2021  would  increase  the  lease  liability  by 
approximately US $ 76 million. 

(ii)  Lease term 

In  determining  the  term  of  the  lease,  all  the  facts  and  circumstances  that  create  an  economic 
incentive  to  exercise  an  extension  option  are  considered.  Extension  options  (or  periods  after 
termination options) are only included in the term of the lease if you are reasonably certain that the 
lease  will  be  extended  (or  not  terminated).  This  is  reviewed  if  a  significant  event  or  significant 
change in circumstances occurs that affects this assessment and is within the control of the lessee. 

(h) 

Investment in subsidiary (TAM) 

The  management  has  applied  its  judgment  in  determining  that  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A. 
controls TAM S.A. and Subsidiaries, for accounting purposes, and has therefore consolidated the 
financial statements. 

The grounds for this decision are that LATAM issued ordinary shares in exchange for the majority 
of circulating ordinary and preferential shares in TAM, except for those TAM shareholders who did 
not accept the exchange, which were subject to a squeeze out, entitling LATAM to substantially all 
economic benefits generated by the LATAM Group, and thus exposing it to substantially all risks

relating to the operations of TAM. This exchange aligns the economic interests of LATAM and all 
of  its  shareholders,  including  the  controlling  shareholders  of  TAM,  thus  ensuring  that  the 
shareholders and directors of TAM shall have no incentive to exercise their rights in a manner that 
would  be  beneficial  to  TAM  but  detrimental  to  LATAM.  Furthermore,  all  significant  actions 
necessary of the operation of the airlines require votes in favor by the controlling shareholders of 
both LATAM and TAM. 

Since  the  integration  of  LAN  and  TAM  operations,  the  most  critical  airline  operations  in  Brazil 
have been managed by the CEO of TAM while global activities have been managed by the CEO of 
LATAM,  who  is  in  charge  of the  operation  of the  LATAM  Group as  a  whole and  reports to the 
LATAM Board.  

The CEO of LATAM also evaluates the performance of LATAM Group executives and, together 
with  the  LATAM  Board,  determines  compensation.  Although  Brazilian  law  currently  imposes 
restrictions  on  the  percentages  of  voting  rights  that  may  be  held  by  foreign  investors,  LATAM 
believes  that  the  economic  basis  of  these  agreements  meets  the  requirements  of  accounting 
standards in force, and that the consolidation of the operations of LAN and LATAM is appropriate.  

These estimates were made based on the best information available relating to the matters analyzed. 

In  any  case,  it  is  possible  that  events  that  may  take  place  in  the  future  could  lead  to  their 
modification in future reporting periods, which would be made in a prospective manner. 

NOTE 5 - SEGMENTAL INFORMATION 

As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  considers  that  it  has  a  single  operating  segment,  Air 
Transport. This segment corresponds to the route network for air transport and is based on the way 
in which the business is managed, according to the centralized nature of its operations, the ability to 
open and close routes, as well as reassignment (airplanes, crew, personnel, etc.) within the network, 
which  implies  a  functional  interrelation  between  all  of  them,  making  them  inseparable.  This 
segment definition is one of the most common in the worldwide airline industry. 

The Company’s revenues by geographic area are as follows: 

Peru

Argentina

U.S.A.

Europe

Colombia

Brazil

Ecuador

Chile

Asia Pacific and rest of Latin America

The  Company  allocates  revenues  by  geographic  area  based  on  the  point  of  sale  of  the  passenger 
ticket  or  cargo.  Assets  are  composed  primarily  of  aircraft  and  aeronautical  equipment,  which  are 
used throughout the different countries, so it is not possible to assign a geographic area. 

The Company has no customers that individually represent more than 10% of sales.

Once pre-judicial and judicial collection efforts are exhausted, the assets are written off against the 
allowance.  The  Company  only  uses  the  allowance  method  rather  than  direct  write-off,  to  ensure 
control. 

The historical and current renegotiations are not very relevant, and the policy is to analyze case by 
case  to  classify  them  according  to  the  existence  of  risk,  determining  if  their  reclassification 
corresponds to pre-judicial collection accounts. 

The maximum credit-risk exposure at the date of presentation of the information is the fair value of 
each one of the categories of accounts receivable indicated above.

(2)  Aircraft  maintenance  reserves  reflect  prepayment  deposits  made  by  the  group  to  lessors  of 
certain  aircraft  under  operating  lease  agreements  in  order  to  ensure  that  funds  are  available  to 
support the scheduled heavy maintenance of the aircraft.  

These deposits are calculated based on the operation, measured in cycles or flight hours, are paid 
periodically, and it is contractually stipulated that they be returned to the Company each time major 
maintenance is carried out. At the end of the lease, the unused maintenance reserves are returned to 
the Company or used to compensate the lessor for any debt related to the maintenance conditions of 
the aircraft. 

In some cases, (2 lease agreements), if the maintenance cost incurred by LATAM is less than the 
corresponding maintenance reserves, the lessor is entitled to retain those excess amounts at the time 
the heavy  maintenance is performed. The Company periodically reviews its maintenance reserves 
for each of its leased aircraft to ensure that they will be recovered and recognizes an expense if any 
such amounts are less than probable of being returned. The cost of aircraft maintenance in the last 
years has been higher than the related maintenance reserves for all aircraft. 

As  of  December  31,  2021,  the  company  does  not  maintain  maintenance  reserves,  these  were 
exercised by the lessors for the non-payment of rent as a result of the chapter 11 process (ThUS$ 
8,613 as of December 31, 2020). 

Aircraft maintenance reserves are classified as current or non-current depending on the dates when 
the related maintenance is expected to be performed (Note 2.23).

The balances are presented at the lower of book value and fair value less cost to sell. The fair value 
of  these  assets  was  determined  based  on  quoted  prices  in  active  markets  for  similar  assets  or 
liabilities.  This  is  a  level  II  measurement  as  per  the  fair  value  hierarchy  set  out  in  Note  3.3  (2). 
There were no transfers between levels for recurring fair value measurements during the year. 

Assets reclassified from Property, plant and equipment to Non-current assets or groups of assets for 
disposal classified as held for sale. 

During the year 2020, the sale of a Boeing 767 aircraft took place and therefore US $ 5.5 million 
was recognized as profit from the transaction. 

Additionally, during the year 2020, Delta Air Lines, Inc. canceled the purchase of four Airbus A350 
aircraft,  given  this,  LATAM  was  compensated  with  the  payment  of  ThUS  $  62,000,  which  was 
recorded in the income statement as other income. These four aircraft were reclassified to Property, 
plant and equipment. 

During 2020, eleven Boeing 767 aircraft were transferred from the Property, plant and equipment 
item,  to  the  Non-current  assets  item  or  groups  of  assets  for  disposal  classified  as  held  for  sale. 
During 2021, the sale of five aircraft were completed. 

During  the  third  quarter  of  the  year  2021,  associated  with  the  fleet  restructuring  plan,  they  were 
transferred  from  the  Property,  plant  and  equipment  component  of  spare  parts  and  engines  to  the 
Non-current  assets  or  groups  of  assets  for  disposal  classified  as  held  for  sale.  During  the  fourth 
quarter of 2021, according to the Chapter 11 Procedure, an engine of the XWB family included in 
this group of assets was rejected, due to finally not complete the sales. 

Additionally,  a  loss  was  recognized  for  US$85  million  during  the  year  (US$  332  million  at 
December 31, 2020) to adjust the assets to its fair value less the cost of sales, which were recorded 
in the income statement as part of the restructuring activities expenses.

(1)  In  2016,  the  Company  resolved  to  adopt  a  unique  name  and  identity,  and  announced  that  the 

group's brand will be LATAM, which united all the companies under a single image. 

The estimate of the new useful life is 5 years, equivalent to the period necessary to complete the 
change of image. 

At December 31, 2021 TAM's trademark is fully amortized 

(2) See Note 2.5 

(3)  In  2020,  a  digital  transformation  was  implemented  (LATAM  XP),  as  a  result  some  projects 

became obsolete and were fully amortized. 

For further detail on impairment test see Note 16. 

71 

The  amortization  of  each  period  is  recognized  in  the  consolidated  income  statement  in  the 
administrative  expenses.  The  cumulative  amortization  of  computer  programs,  brands  and  other 
assets as of December 31, 2021, amounts to ThUS $ 366,053 (ThUS $ 424,932 as of December 31, 
2020). 
b) 

Impairment Test Intangible Assets with an indefinite useful life 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company maintains only the CGU “Air Transport”. 

The  CGU  “Air  transport”  considers  the  transport  of  passengers  and  cargo,  both  in  the  domestic 
markets of Chile, Peru, Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador and Brazil, as well as in a series of regional 
and international routes in America, Europe, Africa and Oceania. 

As of December 31, 2021, in accordance with the accounting policy, the Company performed the 
annual impairment test. 
The  recoverable  amount  of  the  CGU  was  determined  based  on  calculations  of  the  value  in  use. 
These  calculations  use  projections  of  5  years  cash  flows  after  taxes  from  the  financial  budgets 
approved  by  the  Administration.  Cash  flows  beyond  the  budgeted  period  are  extrapolated  using 
growth rates and estimated average volumes, which do not exceed long-term average growth rates. 

Management’s  cash  flow  projections  included  significant  judgements  and  assumptions  related  to 
annual revenue growth rates, discount rate, inflation rates, the exchange rate and price of fuel. The 
annual revenue growth rate is based on past performance and management’s expectations of market 
development  in  each  of  the  countries  in  which  it  operates.  The  discount  rates  used,  for  the  CGU 
"Air transport", are in determined in US dollars, after taxes, and reflect specific risks related to the 
relevant countries of each of the operations. Inflation rates and exchange rates are based on the data 
available  from  the  countries  and  the  information  provided  by  the  Central  Banks  of  the  various 
countries  where  it  operates,  and  the  price  of  fuel  is  determined  based  on  estimated  levels  of 
production, the competitive environment of the market in which they operate and their commercial 
strategy. 

The recoverable values were determined using the following assumptions: 

Annual growth arte (Terminal) 
Exchange rate (1) 
Discount rate base don the weighted average 
  Cost of Capital (WACC) 
Fuel Price from future prices curves

The result of the impairment test, which includes a sensitivity analysis of its main variables, showed 
that  the  calculated  recoverable  values  exceed  the  book  value  of  the  cash-generating  unit,  and 
therefore no impairment was detected.

In  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  the  income  tax  provision  was  calculated  for  such  period, 
applying  the  partially  semi-integrated  taxation  system  and  a  rate  of  27%,  in  accordance  with  the 
Law No. 21,210, which modernizes the Tax Legislation, published in the Journal of the Republic of 
Chile, dated February 24, 2020. 

The net result for deferred tax corresponds to the variation of the year, of the assets and liabilities 
for deferred taxes generated by temporary differences and tax losses. 

For the permanent differences that give rise to a book value of assets and liabilities other than their 
tax value, no deferred tax has been recorded since they are caused by transactions that are recorded 
in the financial statements and that will have no effect on spending tax for income tax.

Unrecognized deferred tax assets: 

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that the corresponding tax benefit 
will be realized in the future. In total the company has not recognized deferred tax assets for ThUS$ 
2,638,473 (ThUS$ 749,100 as of December 31, 2020) which include deferred tax assets related to 
negative tax results of ThUS$ 9,030,059 (ThUS$ 1,433,474 at December 31, 2020). 

(*) As stated in note 2c), on November 26th, 2021 the Company filed a Reorganization Plan and 
Disclosure  Statement  in  which,  among  other  ítems,  financial  forecasts  are  included  together  with 
the  proposed  issuance  of  new  shares  and  convertible  bonds.  With  the  referred  information,  the 
Company  management  updated  its  analysis  on  the  recoverability  of  deferred  tax  assets  and 
determined that during the time covered by the financial forecast it will not be probable that part of 
such deferred tax assets may offset future taxable profits. Therefore, the Company during the fourth 
quarter  of  2021  derecognized  deferred  tax  assets  not  considered  recoverable  in  the  amount  of 
THUS$1,251,912.

During  March  and  April  2020,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  it  drew  down  the  entire     

(1)  
(US$ 600 million) of the committed credit line “Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)”. The financing 
expires on March 29, 2022. The line is guaranteed with collateral consisting of airplanes, engines 
and spare parts.  

(2)  
On  May  26,  2020,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  and  its  subsidiaries  in  Chile,  Peru, 
Colombia  and  Ecuador  availed  themselves,  in  court for the  southern  district  of  New  York,  to  the 
protection  of  Chapter  11  of  the  bankruptcy  law  of  the  United  States.  Under  Section  362  of  the 
Bankruptcy  Code.  The  same  happened  for TAM  LINHAS  AÉREAS  S.A  and  certain  subsidiaries 
(all  LATAM  subsidiary  in  Brazil),  on  July  9,  2020.  Having  filed  for  Chapter  11  automatically 
suspends  most  actions  against  LATAM  and  its  subsidiaries,  including  most  actions  to  collect 
financial obligations incurred before the date of receipt of Chapter 11 or to exercise control over the 
property  of  LATAM  and  its  subsidiaries.  Consequently,  although  the  bankruptcy  filing  may  have 
led to breaches of some of the obligations of LATAM and its subsidiaries, the counterparties cannot 
take any action as a result of said breaches. 

At the end of the period, Chapter 11 retains most of the actions on the debtors so the repayment of 
the debt is not accelerated. The Group continues to present its financial information as of September 
30,  2021,  including  its  interest  bearing  loan  and  leases,  in  accordance  with  the  originally  agreed 
conditions,  pending  future  agreements  that  it  may  reach  with  its  creditors  under  Chapter  11.  For 
those  agreements  that  have  already  been  modified  or  extinguished,  the  financial  information  has 
been properly presented according to the new contracts' terms and conditions. 
(3)  
On June 24, 2020, the United States Court for the Southern District of New York approved 
the  motion  filed  by  the  Company  to  reject  certain  aircraft  lease  contracts.  Rejected  contracts 
include,  17  aircraft  financed  under  the  EETC  structure  with  an  amount  of  ThUS$  844.1  and  an 
aircraft financed with a financial lease with an amount of ThUS$ 4.5. 

(4)  
On  October  20,  2020,  the  United  States  Court  for  the  Southern  District  of  New  York 
approved  the  motion  presented  by  the  Company  to  reject  an  aircraft  lease  contract  financed  as 
financial lease in the amount of ThUS$ 34.3. 

(5)        On September 29, 2020, LATAM Airlines Group S.A. entered into a ThUS$ 2,450 Debtor-
in-Possession financing (the “DIP Financing”), consisting of a ThUS$ 1,300 Tranche A Facility and 
a  ThUS$1,150  Tranche  C  Facility,  of  which  ThUS$  750  are  committed  by  related  parties.  The 
obligations  under  the  DIP  Financing  are  secured  by  collateral  consisting  of  certain  assets  of 
LATAM  and  certain  of  its  subsidiaries,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  equity,  certain  engines  and 
spare parts. 

On  October  8,  2020,  LATAM  made  a  partial  withdrawal  for  MUS$  1,150  from  Tranche  A  and 
Tranche  C,  and  then,  on  or  around  June  22,  2021,  LATAM  made  an  additional  withdrawal  for 
MUS$ 500 from Tranche A and Tranch C. 

On  October  18,  2021,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  obtained  court  approval  for  a  Tranche  B 
(“Tranche B”) of the Debtor-in-Possesion (“DIP”) Financing for up to a total of US$ 750 million. 
The  obligations  of  this  Tranche  B,  like  the  previous  tranches,  are  guaranteed  with  the  same 
guarantees  granted  by  LATAM  and  its  subsidiaries  subject  to  the  Chapter  11  Procedure,  without 
limitation, pledges on shares, certain engines and spare parts. The following turns of the DIP must 
be  made  to  Tranche  B  until  the  proportion  turned  of  the  latter  is  equal  to  that  of  the  previous 
tranches. Once this ratio is equal, spins are pro-rata.

(1)  Hedge  the  significant  variations  in  cash  flows  associated  with  market  risk  implicit  in  the 
increases in the 3 months LIBOR interest rates for long-term loans incurred in the acquisition 
of aircraft and bank loans. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges.  

(2)  Hedge significant variations in cash flows associated with market risk implicit in the changes 

in the price of future fuel purchases. These contracts are recorded as cash flow hedges. 

The Company only has cash flow and fair value hedges (in the case of CCS). In the case of fuel 
hedges,  the  cash  flows  subject  to  such  hedges  will  occur  and  will  impact  results  in  the  next  12 
months  from  the  date  of  the  consolidated  statement  of  financial  position,  while  in  the  case  of 
hedges  of  interest  rates,  these  they  will  occur  and  will  impact  results  throughout  the  life  of  the 
associated  loans,  up  to  their  maturity.  In  the  case  of  currency  hedges  through  a  CCS,  there  is  a 
group of hedging relationships, in which two types of hedge accounting are generated, one of cash 
flow for the US $ / UF component; and another of fair value, for the floating rate component US $. 
The other group of hedging relationships only generates cash flow hedge accounting for the US $ / 
UF component.

All hedging operations have been performed for highly probable transactions, except for fuel hedge. 
See Note 3. 

The details of Trade and other accounts payables are as follows: 

Since none of the hedges resulted in the recognition of a non-financial asset, no portion of the result 
of derivatives recognized in equity was transferred to the initial value of that type of asset.  

The  amounts  recognized  in  comprehensive  income  during  the  period  and  transferred  from  net 
equity to income are as follows: 

Debit (credit) recognized in comprehensive
     income during the year
Debit (credit) transferred from net equity to

(1)  Accumulated  balances  include  a  judicial  deposit  delivered  in  guarantee,  with  respect  to  the 
“Fundo  Aeroviario”  (FA),  for  MUS$  65,  made  in  order  to  suspend  the  collection  and  the 
application  of  a  fine.  The  Company  is  discussing  in  Court  the  constitutionality  of  the 
requirement  made  by  FA  calculated  at  the  ratio  of  2.5%  on  the  payroll  in  a  legal  claim. 
Initially the payment of said contribution was suspended by a preliminary judicial decision and 
about  10  years  later,  this  same  decision  was  reversed.  As  the  decision  is  not  final,  the 
Company  has  deposited  the  securities  open  until  that  date,  in  order  to  avoid  collection 
processing and the application of the fine.  

Finally,  if  the  final  decision  is  favorable  to  the  Company,  the  deposit  made  and  payments 
made later will return to TAM. On the other hand, if the court confirms the first decision, said 
deposit  will  become  a  final  payment  in  favor  of  the  Government  of  Brazil.  The  procedural 
stage  as  of  December  31,  2021  is  described  in  Note  31  in  the  Role  of  the  case 
2001.51.01.012530-0. 

(2)  European Commission Provision 

Provision constituted on the occasion of the process initiated in December 2007 by the General 
Competition  Directorate  of  the  European  Commission  against  more  than  25  cargo  airlines, 
among which is Lan Cargo SA, which forms part of the global investigation initiated in 2006 
for  possible  infractions  of  free  competition  in  the  air  cargo  market,  which  was  carried  out 
jointly by the European and United States authorities. 

  With  respect  to  Europe,  the  General  Directorate  of  Competition  imposed  fines  totaling                               

€  799,445,000  (seven  hundred  and  ninety-nine  million  four  hundred  and  forty-five  thousand 
Euros) for infractions of European Union regulations on free competition against eleven (11) 
airlines, among which are LATAM Airlines Group SA and its subsidiary Lan Cargo S.A .,For 
its  part,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  and  Lan  Cargo  S.A.,  jointly  and  severally,  have  been

fined  for  the  amount  of  €  8,220,000  (eight  million  two  hundred  twenty  thousand  euros),  for 
these infractions, an amount that was provisioned in the financial statements of LATAM. On 
January  24,  2011,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  and  Lan  Cargo  S.A.  They  appealed  the 
decision  before  the  Court  of  Justice  of  the  European  Union.  On  December  16,  2015,  the 
European  Court  resolved  the  appeal  and  annulled  the  Commission's  Decision.  The  European 
Commission did not appeal the judgment, but on March 17, 2017, the European Commission 
again adopted its original decision to impose on the eleven lines original areas, the same fine 
previously imposed, amounting to a total of 776,465,000 Euros. In the case of LAN Cargo and 
its  parent,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  imposed  the  same  fine  mentioned  above.  The 
procedural  stage  as  of  December  31,  2020  is  described  in  Note  31  in  section  2  judgments 
received by LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Subsidiaries.

(*) Lease expenses are included within this amount (See Note 2.21) 

(**)  During  2021,  the  Company  amended  its  Aircraft  Lease  Contracts  which  included  lease 
payment based on Power by the Hour (PBH) at the beginning of the contract and then switches to 
fixed-rent  payments.  A  right  of  use  asset  and  a  lease  liability  was  recognized  as  result  of  those 
amendments  at  the  date  of  modification  of  the  contract,  even  if  they  initially  have  a  variable 
payment period. As a result of the application of the lease accounting policy, the right of use assets 
continues  to  be  amortized  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  the  term  of  the  lease  from  the  contract 
modification date. The expenses for the year include both: the lease expense for variable payments 
(Aircraft Rentals) as well as the expenses resulting from the amortization of the right of use assets 
from the beginning of the contract (included in the Depreciation line b) below) and interest from the 
lease liability (included in Lease Liabilities c) below).

Case No. 20-11254 

LATAM Airlines initiated a reorganization proceeding in 
the  United  States  of  America  in  accordance  with  the 
regulations  established  in  Chapter  11  of  Title  11  of  the 
Code  of  the  United  States  of  America,  filing  a  voluntary 
request  for  relief  pursuant  thereto  (the  “Chapter  11 
Proceeding”),  which  grants  an  automatic  stay  of 
enforcement for at least 180 days. 

LATAM Airlines

LATAM Airlines 
Perú S.A., Latam-
Airlines Ecuador 
S.A., LAN Cargo 
S.A., TAM Linhas 
Aereas S.A. and 
32 affiliates 

The lawsuit was assigned on January 31, 2018.  That same day, a 
decision  was  rendered  suspending the  charges  without any  bond. 
The municipality filed an appeal against this decision on April 30, 
2018.  On  November  11,  2019  there  was  a  totally  favorable 
decision for Tam Viagens S.A. The court issued a ruling in favor 
of  Tam  Viagens  S/A  on  June  24,  2021.    An  appeal  by  the 
Municipality is pending. 

On  May  26,  2020,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  and  28 
subsidiaries  (the  “Initial  Debtors”)  individually  filed  a  voluntary 
petition  for  reorganization  with  the  United  States  Bankruptcy 
Court for the Southern District of New York pursuant to Chapter 
11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Subsequently, on July 7 
and  9,  2020,  9  additional  affiliated  debtors  (the  "Subsequent 
Debtors"  and  together  with  the  Initial  Debtors,  the  “Subsequent 
Debtors”),  including  TAM  Linhas  Aereas  S.A.,  filed  voluntary 
bankruptcy applications with the Court pursuant to Chapter 11 of 
the  United  States  Bankruptcy  Code.  The  cases  are  pending 
resolution  before  the  Honorable  James  L.  Garrity  Jr.  in  United 
States  Bankruptcy  Court  for  the  Southern  District  Court  of  New 
York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and are being jointly administered 
under case number 20-11254. On September 18, 2020, the Debtors 
received approval of the modified funding proposal for Debtor in 
Possession (“DIP”) funding filed on September 17, 2020 from the 
Bankruptcy  Court.    On  October  18,  2021  the  Bankruptcy  Court 
approved the Debtors’ request for certain additional DIP funding, 
namely  a  “Tranche  B”  facility.    On  November  26,  2021,  the 
Debtors  filed  a  joint  plan  of  reorganization  together  with  a 
disclosure statement.  A hearing will be conducted on January 27, 
2022  to  rule  on  the  adequacy  of  the  disclosure  statement.    The 
Bankruptcy  Court  has  extended  the  Debtors’  exclusive  period  to 
solicit  acceptances  for  the  plan  to  January  26,  2022.    The 
Subsequent  Debtors  have  sought  an  additional  extension  of  their 
exclusive periods to file and solicit acceptances for the plan, until 
January  7,  2022  and  March  7,  2022  respectively.    A  hearing  on 
that request will be conducted on January 27, 2022. LATAM has 
continued  its  process  of  reconciling  claims  and  presenting 
objections.  Likewise,  LATAM  continues to  evaluate  its contracts 
and has rejected some of them. It continues with the review of its 
existing 
solicitation  and 
confirmation of its plan.

Stage of trial 

On  June  1, 2020,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  SA,  in  its  capacity  as 
foreign  representative  of  the  reorganization  procedure  under  the 
rules of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code, filed the 
request for recognition of the foreign reorganization proceeding as 
the  main  proceeding,  pursuant  to  Law  20,720.  On  June  4,  2020, 
the  Court  issued  the  ruling  recognizing  in  Chile  the  bankruptcy 
proceeding for the foreign reorganization of the company LATAM 
Airlines  Group  S.A.  All  remedies  filed  against the decision  have 
been dismissed, so the decision is final. Currently the proceeding 
remains open. 

On June 12, 2020, the Superintendency of Companies recognized 
in  Colombia  the  reorganization  proceeding  filed  before  the 
Bankruptcy  Court  of  the  United  States  of  America  for  the 
Southern District of New York as a main process, under the terms 
of  Title  III  of  Law  1116  of  2006.  On  October  2,  2020,  the 
Companies  Commission  of  Colombia  acknowledged  the decision 
adopted  September  18,  2020,  by  the United  States  District  Court 
for the Southern District of New York that approved the Debtor in 
Possession  financing  proposal  submitted  by  LATAM  Airlines 
Group  S.A.  and  the  companies  that  voluntarily  petitioned  for 
Chapter 11, including the Colombian companies. The Companies 
Commission adopted the Cross-Border Communications Protocol 
on November 4, 2020.  On December 14, 2020, that Commission 
recognized  the  order  issued  by  the  Bankruptcy  Court  on 
November  20,  2020  authorizing 
issue,  capital 
contributions and changes to the pledge agreements.  On October 
27,  2021,  the  Commission  recognized  the  order  issued  by  the 
Bankruptcy  Court  on  October  18,  2021  approving  the  second 
proposed DIP loan submitted by LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and 
authorizing  a  change  in  the  collateral  provided  in  the  first  DIP 
loan  and  the  signature  of  a  petition  accessory  to  the  DIP  loan 
agreement.    The  Commission  was  informed  on  December  22, 
2021  that  on  November  26,  2021,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A. 
had filed a Reorganization Agreement pursuant to Chapter 11 and 
that  the  hearing  for  the  Bankruptcy  Court  to  rule  on  that 
Agreement  would  be  held  January  27,  2022.    That  was  the  last 
action in the process.

European Commission. 

Investigation  of  alleged  infringements  to  free 
competition  of  cargo  airlines,  especially  fuel 
surcharge.  On  December  26th,  2007,  the  General 
Directorate  for  Competition  of  the  European 
Commission  notified  Lan  Cargo  S.A.  and 
LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  the  instruction 
process  against 
five  cargo  airlines, 
including Lan Cargo S.A., for alleged breaches of 
competition  in  the  air  cargo  market  in  Europe, 
especially  the  alleged  fixed  fuel  surcharge  and 
freight.

On April 14th, 2008, the notification of the European Commission 
was replied.                       The appeal was filed on               January 
24, 2011.  
On May 11, 2015, we attended a hearing at which we petitioned for 
the vacation of the Decision based on discrepancies in the Decision 
between  the  operating  section,  which  mentions  four  infringements 
(depending on the routes involved) but refers to Lan in only one of 
those four routes; and the ruling section (which mentions one single 
conjoint infraction).  
On  November  9th,  2010,  the  General  Directorate  for  Competition 
of the European Commission notified Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM 
Airlines  Group  S.A.  the  imposition  of  a  fine  in  the  amount  of 
THUS$9,299 (8.220.000 Euros) 
This  fine  is  being  appealed  by  Lan  Cargo  S.A.  and  LATAM 
Airlines  Group  S.A.   On  December 16, 2015, the European  Court 
of  Justice  revoked 
the  Commission’s  decision  because  of 
discrepancies.  The  European  Commission  did  not  appeal  the 
decision, but presented a new one on March 17, 2017 reiterating the 
imposition of the same fine on the eleven original airlines.  The fine 
totals  776,465,000  Euros.    It  imposed  the  same  fine  as  before  on 
Lan  Cargo  and  its  parent,  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.,  totaling 
8.2 million Euros. On May 31, 2017 Lan Cargo S.A. and LATAM 
Airlines  Group  S.A.  filed a petition with the  General  Court  of  the 
European  Union  seeking  vacation  of  this  decision.  We  presented 
our  defense  in  December  2017.  On  July  12,  2019,  we  attended  a 
hearing  before  the  European  Court  of  Justice  to  confirm  our 
petition  for  vacation  of  judgment  or  otherwise,  a  reduction  in  the 
amount  of  the  fine.    LATAM  AIRLINES  GROUP,  S.A.  expects 
that the ruling by the General Court of the European Union, which 
is expected to be known at the end of March 2022, may reduce the 
amount  of  this  fine.  On  December  17,  2020,  the  European 
Commission  submitted  proof  of  claim  for  the  total  amount  of  the 
fine  (ThUS$9.299  (€8,220,000))  to  the  New  York  Court  hearing 
the  Chapter  11  procedure  petitioned  by  LATAM  Airlines  Group, 
S.A. and LAN Cargo, S.A. in May 2020.

In the case in England, mediation was held with nearly all the airlines 
involved  in  the  aim  of  attempting  to  reach  an  agreement.  It  began  in 
September  2018,  and  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  reached  an 
agreement for approximately GBP 636,000.  A settlement was signed in 
December 2018 and payment was made in January 2019.  This lawsuit 
ended for all plaintiffs in the class action, except for one who signed a 
settlement for approximately GBP 222,469.63 in December 2019.  The 
payment was made in January 2020 and concluded the entire lawsuit in 
England.  For  the  case  in  Germany,  LATAM  petitioned  the  German 
Court  for  a  suspension  on  the  basis  of  the  financial  reorganization 
petitioned by LATAM Airlines Group S.A. and Lan Cargo S.A. in the 
United States (Chapter 11) in May 2020.  DB Barnsdale AG also filed a 
claim  with  the  U.S.  Court  by  the  deadline  that  creditors  have  under 
Chapter  11  claims.    An  agreement  was  reached  with  Barnsdale  AG 
before  the  Courts  could  rule  and  that  ended  all  claims  in  Germany.  
British  Airways;  KLM;  Martinair;  Air  France;  Lufthansa;  Lufthansa 
Cargo  and  Swiss  Air  filed  claims  with  the  U.S.  Court.    LATAM 
opposed  these  claims  and  the  U.S.    Court  dismissed  and  voided  them 
after a review on May 27, 2021.  The two proceedings still pending in 
Norway  and  the  Netherlands  are  in  the  evidentiary  stages.    There  has 
been no activity in Norway since January 2014 and in the Netherlands, 
since February 2021.  The amounts are indeterminate. 

This  action  was  filed  by  presenting  a  guaranty  –  policy  –  in  order  to 
suspend  the  effects  of  the  CADE’s  decision  regarding  the  payment  of 
the following fines: (i) ABSA: ThUS$10,438; (ii) Norberto Jochmann: 
ThUS$201; (iii) Hernan Merino: ThUS$ 102; (iv) Felipe Meyer:ThUS$ 
102.  The  action  also  deals  with  the  affirmative  obligation  required  by 
the  CADE  consisting  of  the  duty  to  publish  the  condemnation  in  a 
widely circulating newspaper.  This obligation had also been stayed by 
the court of federal justice in this process.  Awaiting CADE’s statement. 
ABSA  began  a  judicial  review  in  search  of  an  additional  reduction  in 
the  fine  amount.    The  Judge’s  decision  was  published  on  March  12, 
2019, and we filed an appeal against it on March 13, 2019 

We have been waiting since August 21, 2015 for a statement by Serasa 
on  TAM’s  letter  of  indemnity  and  a  statement  by  the  Union.  The 
statement  was  authenticated  on  January  29,  2016.  A  new  insurance 
policy  was  submitted  on  March  30,  2016  with  the  change  to  the 
guarantee  requested by  PGFN.  On  05/20/2016 the process  was  sent  to 
PGFN, which was manifested on 06/03/2016. The Decision denied the 
company's request in the lawsuit. The court (TRF3) made a decision to 
eliminate part of the debt and keep the other part (already owed by the 
Company,  but  which  it  has  to  pay  only  at  the  end  of  the  process: 
KUS$3.100–  R$  17.302.858,00).  We  must  await  a  decision  on  the 
Treasury appeal.

Unfavorable  court  decision  in  first  instance.  Currently  expecting 
the ruling on the appeal filed by the company. 
In order to suspend chargeability of Tax Credit a Guaranty Deposit 
to the Court was delivered for R$ 260.223.373,10-original amount 
in  2012/2013,  which  currently  equals  THUS$65.464.  The  court 
decision requesting that the Expert make all clarifications requested 
by  the parties  in a period  of 30 days  was  published  on March 29, 
2016.    The  plaintiffs’  submitted  a  petition  on  June  21,  2016 
requesting  acceptance  of  the  opinion  of  their  consultant  and  an 
urgent  ruling  on  the  dispute.  No  amount  additional  to  the  deposit 
that has already been made is required if this case is lost. 

 The  objection  (manifestação  de  inconformidade)  filed  by  the 
company  was  rejected,  which  is  why  the  voluntary  appeal  was 
filed.  The case was assigned to the 1st Ordinary Group of Brazil’s 
Administrative  Council  of  Tax  Appeals  (CARF)  on  June  8,  2015.  
TAM’s appeal was included in the CARF session held August 25, 
2016.  An  agreement  that  converted  the  proceedings  into  a  formal 
case  was  published  on  October  7,  2016.  The  amount  has  been 
reduced  after  some  set-offs  were  approved  by  the  Department  of 
Federal Revenue of Brazil. We must wait until the due diligence is 
complete.

Colombia. This case is being heard by the 45th Civil Court of the Bogota Circuit in Colombia.  Statements were taken 
from  witnesses  presented  by  REGIONAL  ONE  and  VAS  on  February  12,  2018.    The  court  received  the  expert 
opinions requested by REGIONAL ONE and VAS and given their petition, it asked the experts to expand upon their 
opinions. It also changed the experts requested by  LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA. The case was brought before 
the Court on September 10, 2018 and these rulings are pending processing so that a new hearing can be scheduled. On 
October 31, 2018, the judge postponed the deadline for the parties to answer the objection because of a serious error 
brought  to  light  by  VAS  regarding  the  translation  submitted  by  the  expert.  The  process  has  been  in  the  judge’s 
chambers  since  March  11,  2019  to  decide  on  replacing  the  damage  estimation  expert  as  requested  by  LATAM 
AIRLINES COLOMBIA.  The one previously appointed did not take office.  A petition has also been made by VAS 
objecting to the translation of the documents in English into Spanish due to serious mistakes, which was served to the 
parties in October 2018. The 45th Civil Circuit Court issued an order on August 13, 2019 that did not decide on the 
pending matters but rather voided all actions since September 14, 2018 and ordered the case to be referred to the 46th 
Civil Circuit Court according to article 121 of the General Code of Procedure.  Said article says that court decisions 
must  be  rendered  in  no  more  than  one  (1)  year  as  from  the  service  of  the  court  order  admitting  the  claim.    If  that 
period expires without any ruling being issued, the Judge will automatically forfeit competence over the proceedings 
and must give the Administrative Room of the Superior Council of the Judiciary notice of that fact the next day, in 
addition to referring the case file to the next sitting judge in line, who will have competence and will issue a ruling in 
no more than 6 months.  The case was sent to the 46th Civil Circuit Court on September 4, 2019, which claims that 
there was a competence conflict and then sent the case to the Superior Court of Bogotá to decide which court, the 45th 
or 46th, had to continue with the case. The Court decided that 45th Civil Circuit Court should continue with the case, 
so this Court on 01/15/2020 has reactivated the procedural process ordering the transfer to the parties of the objection 
presented by VAS for serious error of the translation to Spanish of documents provided in English. On 02/24/2020 it 
declares that the parties did not rule on the objection presented by VAS and requires the plaintiff to submit an expert 
opinion of damages corresponding to  the claims of the lawsuit through its channel. Since 03/16/20 a suspension of 
terms is filed in Courts due to the pandemic. Judicial terms were reactivated on July 1, 2020. On September 18, 2020, 
an expert opinion on damages was submitted that had been requested by the Court. The Court ordered service of the 
ruling  to  the  parties  on  December  14,  2020.  The  defendants,  REGIONAL  ONE  and  VAS,  filed  a  motion  for 
reconsideration  of  this  decision,  petitioning  that  the  evidence  of  the  expert  opinion  be  eliminated  because  it  was 
presented  late.    The  motion  was  denied  by  the  Court.    On  April  30,  2021,  they  petitioned  for  a  clarification  and 
supplement to the opinion, to which the Court agreed in a decision on May 19, 2021, giving the expert 10 business 
days to respond.  The brief of clarification was filed June 2, 2021 and the docket was presented to the Judge on June 
3, 2021. The parties were given notice of the objection on July 21, 2021 based on a serious mistake in the opinion 
presented by Regional One.  The case entered the judgment phase on August 5, 2021.  On October 7, 2021, the Court 
set  a  date  for  the  instruction  and judgment  hearing,  which  will  be  February  3,  2022. Regional  One,  the  defendant, 
filed  a  petition  for  reconsideration  on  October  13,  2021  that  had  not  been  decided  on  the  date  of  this  report.    The 
claim was withdrawn on January 11, 2022 because the matter had been settled before the Bankruptcy Court hearing 
the Chapter 11 claim.  The Court decreed the end of the proceedings because the claims were withdrawn in a ruling 
issued January 19, 2022. 

Florida. On June 4, 2019, the State Court of Florida allowed REGIONAL ONE to add a new claim against LATAM 
AIRLINES COLOMBIA for default on a verbal contract.  Given the new claim, LATAM AIRLINES COLOMBIA 
petitioned  that  the  Court  postpone  the  trial  to  August  2019  to  have  the  time  to  investigate  the  facts  alleged  by 
REGIONAL ONE to prove a verbal contract. The facts discovery phase continued, including the verbal statements of 
the  experts  of  both  sides,  which  have  been  taking  place  since  March  2020.  Given  the  Covid-19  pandemic  and  the 
suspension of trials in the County of Miami-Dade, the Court canceled the trial scheduled for June 2020. In addition, 
the  claims  against  Aires  have  been  suspended  given  the  request  for  reorganization  filed  by  LATAM  AIRLINES 
GROUP SA and some of its subsidiaries, including Aires, on May 26, 2020, under Chapter 11 of the United States 
Bankruptcy Code. Dash and Regional One filed unsecured claims with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court by the deadline that 
creditors have according to Chapter 11. On October 18, 2021, the parties participated in a third mediation where they 
agreed on the terms of a global settlement. On December 16, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of 
New York approved the global agreement and release.  Therefore, Dash and Regional withdrew their claims against 
Aires in Florida on December 21, 2021, which put an end to the proceedings.

The  Company  received  notice  of  a civil  liability 
claim by Inversiones Ranco Tres S.A. on January 
18, 2017.  It is represented by Mr. Jorge Enrique 
Said  Yarur.    It  was  filed  against  LATAM 
Airlines  Group  S.A.  for  an  alleged  contractual 
default  by  the  Company  and  against  Ramon 
Eblen  Kadiz,  Jorge  Awad  Mehech,  Juan  Jose 
Cueto  Plaza,  Enrique  Cueto  Plaza  and  Ignacio 
Cueto  Plaza,  directors  and  officers,  for  alleged 
breaches of their duties.  In the case of Juan Jose 
Cueto  Plaza,  Enrique  Cueto  Plaza  and  Ignacio 
Cueto Plaza, it alleges a breach, as controllers of 
the  Company,  of 
the 
incorporation  agreement.    LATAM  has  retained 
legal  counsel  specializing  in  this  area  to  defend 
it. 

their  duties  under 

An  administrative  objection  was  filed  on  September  17th,  2014.  A  first-instance 
ruling was rendered on June 1, 2016 that was partially favorable.  The separate fine 
was  revoked.  A  voluntary  appeal  was  filed  on  June  30,  2016,  which  is  pending  a 
decision  by  CARF.  On  September  9,  2016,  the  case  was  referred  to  the  Second 
Division,  Fourth  Chamber,  of  the  Third  Section  of  the  Administrative  Council  of 
Tax  Appeals  (CARF).  In  September  2019,  the  Court  rejected  the  appeal  of  the 
Hacienda  Nacional.  Hacienda  Nacional  filed  a  complaint  that  was  denied  by  the 
Court. 

The claim was answered on March 22, 2017 and the plaintiff filed its replication on 
April 4, 2017.  LATAM filed its rejoinder on April 13, 2017, which concluded the 
argument stage of the lawsuit.  A reconciliation hearing was held on May 2, 2017, 
but the parties did not reach an agreement.   The Court issued the evidentiary decree 
on May 12, 2017.  We filed a petition for reconsideration because we disagreed with 
certain  points  of  evidence.    That  petition  was  partially  sustained  by  the  Court  on 
June 27, 2017.   The  evidentiary  stage  commenced  and  then  concluded  on  July  20, 
2017.    Observations  to  the  evidence  must  now  be  presented.    That  period  expires 
August 1, 2017.  We filed our observations to the evidence on August 1, 2017.  We 
were  served  the  decision  on  December  13,  2017  that  dismissed  the  claim  since 
LATAM was in no way liable.  The plaintiff filed an appeal on December 26, 2017.  
Arguments were pled before the Santiago Court of Appeals on April 23, 2019, and 
on  April  30,  2019,  this  Court  confirmed  the  ruling  of  the  trial  court  absolving 
LATAM.    The  losing  party  was  ordered  to  pay  costs  in  both  cases.  On  May  18, 
2019, Inversiones Ranco Tres S.A. filed a remedy of vacation of judgment based on 
technicalities and on substance against the Appellate Court decision.  The Appellate 
Court admitted both appeals on May 29, 2019 and the appeals are pending a hearing 
by the Supreme Court. On August 11, 2021 Inversiones Ranco Tres S.A. requested 
the  suspension  of the  hearing  of  the Appeal,  after the  recognition by  the 2nd  Civil 
Court  of  Santiago  of  the  foreign  reorganization  procedure  in  accordance with  Law 
No.  20,720,  for  the  entire  period  that  said  procedure  lasts,  a  request  that  was 
accepted by the Supreme Court.

On August 6, 2018, the District Tax Claims Court rendered a decision 
denying  the  request  for  a  refund  of  a  mistaken  payment.    An  appeal 
seeking vacation of this judgment by the Court was filed on September 
5th  and  we  are  awaiting  a  decision  by  the  Appellate  judges.  As  of 
December  31,  2018,  the  attorneys  believed  that  the  probability  of 
recovering  this  sum  had  fallen  to  30%-40%  because  of  the  pressure 
being put by the Executive Branch on the National Court of Justice and 
the  Judiciary  in  general  for  rulings  not  to  affect  government  revenues 
and because the case involves differences that are based on insufficient 
documentation  supporting  the  expense.  Given  the  percentage  loss 
(above 50%), the accounting write-off of this recovery has been carried 
out. 

Latam  Airlines  Group  S.A.  was  served  this  claim  on  September  27, 
2019. LATAM Airlines Group filed a motion to dismiss on November 
26,  2019.    In  response,  a  motion  to  suspend  discovery  was  filed  on 
December  23,  2019  while  the  Court  was  deciding  on  the  motion  to 
dismiss.  On  April  6,  2020  the  Court  issued  a  Temporary  Suspension 
Order given the inability to proceed with the case on a regular basis as 
a  result  of  the  indefinite  duration  and  restrictions  of  the  global 
pandemic. The parties must notify the Court monthly of the possibility 
of moving forward. The provision is undetermined.

Santiago 

C-8498-2020 

Class Action Lawsuit filed by the National Corporation of 
Consumers  and  Users  (CONADECUS)  against  LATAM 
Airlines  Group  S.A.  for  alleged  breaches  of  the  Law  on 
Protection of Consumer Rights due to flight cancellations 
caused by the COVID-19 Pandemic, requesting the nullity 
of  possible  abusive  clauses,  the  imposition  of  fines  and 
compensation  for  damages  in  defense  of  the  collective 
interest  of  consumers.  LATAM  has  hired  specialist 
lawyers to undertake its defense. 

On 06/25/2020 we were notified of the lawsuit. On 04/07/2020 we filed 
a motion for reversal against the ruling that declared the action filed by 
CONADECUS  admissible,  the  decision  is  pending  to  date.  On 
07/11/2020  we  requested  the  Court  to  comply  with  the  suspension  of 
this case, ruled by the 2nd Civil Court of Santiago, in recognition of the 
foreign  reorganization procedure  pursuant to  Law  No.  20,720,  for  the 
entire period that said proceeding lasts, a request that was accepted by 
the  Court.  CONADECUS  filed  a  remedy  of  reconsideration  and  an 
appeal against this resolution should the remedy of reconsideration be 
dismissed.  The Court dismissed the reconsideration on August 3, 2020, 
but  admitted  the  appeal.    The  appeal  is  currently  pending  before  the 
Santiago  Court  of  Appeals.  The  amount  at 
is 
undetermined. 

the  moment 

New York Case. Parallel to the lawsuit in Chile, on August 31, 2020, 
CONADECUS  filed  on  appeal  with  U.S.  Bankruptcy  Court  for  the 
Southern  District  of  New  York  (the  “Bankruptcy  Court”)  because  of 
the  automatic  suspension  imposed  by  Section  362  of  the  U.S. 
Bankruptcy  Code  that,  among  other  things,  prohibits  the  parties  from 
filing  or  continuing  with  claims  that  involve  a  preliminary  petition 
against the  Borrowers.    CONADECUS  petitioned  (i)  for  a  stay  of  the 
automatic suspension to the extent necessary to continue with the class 
action  against  LATAM  in  Chile  and  (ii)  for  a  joint  hearing  by  the 
Bankruptcy Court and the Second Civil Court of Santiago in Chile (the 
“Chile Insolvency Court”) to hear the matters relating to the claims of 
CONADECUS in Chile. On December 18, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court 
sustained  part  of  CONADECUS’s  petition,  but  only  to  allow  it  to 
continue  its  appeal  against  the  decision  by  the  23rd  Civil  Court  of 
Santiago and solely so that the Court of Appeals can decide whether or 
not a stay is admissible under Chilean insolvency law.  On December 
31, 2020, CONADECUS petitioned to continue with its appeal against 
the  decision  by  the  25th  Civil  Court  that  approved  the  reconciliation 
between AGRECU and LATAM. On February 9, 2021, the Bankruptcy 
Court sustained just one of the petitions of CONADECUS.  As a result, 
they  can  continue  their  appeal  against  the  decision  by  the  25th  Civil 
Court that approved the reconciliation of AGRECU and LATAM.

NOTE 32 - COMMITMENTS  

(a)  

Commitments for loans obtained 

In  relation  to  certain  contracts  committed  by  the  Company  for  the  financing  of  the  Boeing  777 
aircraft,  which  are  guaranteed  by  Export  –  Import  Bank  of  the  United  States  of  America, 
commencing  on  January  1,  2023,  limits  have  been  established  for  some  financial  indicators  of 
LATAM Airlines Group S.A. on a consolidated basis. Under any circumstance, non-compliance of 
this limits, does not generate credit acceleration. 

The  Company  and  its  subsidiaries  do  not  have  credit  agreements  that  indicate  limits  to  some 
financial indicators of the Company or the subsidiaries, with the exception of those detailed below: 

Regarding  the  revolving  committed  credit  line  (“Revolving  Credit  Facility”)  established  with  a 
consortium of twelve banks led by Citibank, with a guarantee of aircraft, engines, spare parts and 
supplies  for  a  total  committed  amount  of  US  $  600  million,  it  includes  restrictions  of  minimum 
liquidity, measured at the Consolidated Company level (with a minimum level of US $ 750 million) 
and  individually  measured  for  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  companies  and TAM  Linhas  Aéreas 
S.A.  (with  a  minimum  level  of  US  $  400  million).  Compliance  with  these  restrictions  is  a 
prerequisite for using the line; if the line is used, said restrictions must be reported quarterly, and 
non-compliance with these restrictions will accelerate credit. As of December 31, 2021, this line of 
credit is fully used. 

As of December 31, 2021, the Company is in compliance with all the financial indicators detailed 
above. 

On the other hand, the financing agreements of the Company generally establish clauses regarding 
changes  in  the  ownership  structure  and  in  the  controller  and  disposition  of  assets  (which  mainly 
refers to significant transfers of assets). 

Under  Section  362  of  the  Bankruptcy  Code,  the  filing  of  voluntary  bankruptcy  petitions  by  the 
Debtors  automatically  stayed  most  actions  against  the  Debtors,  including  most  actions  to  collect 
indebtedness incurred prior to the Petition Date or to exercise control over the Debtors’ property.  

Accordingly,  counterparties  are  stayed  from  taking  any  actions  as  a  result  of  such  purported 
defaults. Specifically, the financing agreements of the Company generally establish that the filing of 
bankruptcy or similar proceedings constitute an event of default, which are unenforceable under the

Bankruptcy Code. At the date of the issuance of these financial statements, the Company has not 
received notices of termination of financing arrangements, based on such an event of default. 

On  September  29,  2020  the  company  signed  the  so-called  "DIP  Financing",  which  contemplates 
minimum liquidity restrictions of at least US $ 400 million at a consolidated level. 

LATAM's  obligations to  the  lenders  of  the  DIP  Financing  have a  super  administrative  preference 
recognized under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with respect to the other liabilities of the 
company  and  entities  of its  corporate  group that  have  filed  for  Chapter  11  Proceedings  ("Related 
Subsidiaries") prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Proceeding.  

In  addition,  in  order  to  secure  the  debt  under  the  DIP  Financing,  LATAM  and  the  Related 
Subsidiaries  granted  certain  guarantees,  including,  but  not  limited  to,  (i)  in-rem  guarantees  to  be 
granted  over  certain  specified  assets,  such  as  spare  engines,  spare  inventory,  shares  in  certain 
subsidiaries (including, but not limited to, (a) a pledge over the shares owned by LATAM in LAN 
Cargo S.A., Inversiones Lan S.A., Lan Pax Group S.A., LATAM Travel II S.A., Technical Training 
Latam S.A. and Holdco I S.A., (b) pledge over the shares owned by LAN Cargo S.A. in Transporte 
Aéreo S.A., Inversiones Lan S.A., Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A. and Lan Cargo  Inversiones 
S.A.  and  (c)  pledge  over  the  shares  owned  by  Inversiones  LAN  S.A.  in  LAN  Cargo  S.A., 
Transporte Aéreo S.A., Lan Pax Group S.A., Fast Air Almacenes de Carga S.A., LATAM Travel 
Chile  II  S.A.,  Technical  Training  LATAM  S.A.  and  Lan  Cargo  Inversiones  S.A.),  among  others, 
under the laws of the jurisdictions in which they are located, (ii) personal guarantees of the Related 
Subsidiaries  and  (iii)  a  in-rem  guarentee  of  general  nature  over  the  assets  of  LATAM  and  the 
Related  Subsidiaries  other  than  certain  "Excluded  Assets"  comprising,  among  other  things,  the 
aircraft and the "Carve-Out" including, among other things, certain funds assigned for expenses of 
the Chapter 11 Proceedings. 

(b) Other commitments 

At  December  31,  2021  the  Company  has  existing  letters  of  credit,  certificates  of  deposits  and

NOTE 34 - SHARE-BASED PAYMENTS 

LP3 compensation plans (2020-2023) 

The  Company  implemented  a  program  for  a  group  of  executives,  which  lasts  until  March  2023, 
with  a  period  of  enforceability  between  October  2020  and  March  2023,  where  the  collection 
percentage is annual and cumulative. The methodology is an allocation, of quantity of units, where 
a goal of the value of the action is set. 

The bonus is activated, if the target of the share price defined in each year is met. In case the bonus 
accumulates, up to the last year, the total bonus is doubled (in case the share price is activated). 

This Compensation Plan has not yet been provisioned due to the fact that the action price required 
for collection is below the initial target.  

(a)  The Company has carried out non-monetary transactions mainly related to financial lease and 

lease liabilities, which are described in Note 19 Other financial liabilities.

NOTE 36 - THE ENVIRONMENT 

LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A  is  dedicated  to  sustainable  development,  seeking  to  generate  social, 
economic, and environmental value for the countries where it operates and for all its stakeholders. 
The company manages socio-environmental issues at a corporate level, centralized in the Corporate 
Affairs and Sustainability Department. The company is committed to monitoring and mitigating its 
impact on the environment in all its ground and air operations, being a key element in the solution, 
and searching for alternatives to the challenges of the company and its environment. 

Some functions of the Corporate Affairs and Sustainability Department in environmental issues, in 
conjunction with the various areas of the company, is to ensure that environmental legal compliance 
is  maintained  in  all  the  countries  where  it  is  present,  to  implement  and  maintain  corporate 
environmental management, the efficient use of non-renewable resources such as aircraft fuel, the 
responsible  disposal  of  its  waste,  and  the  development  of  programs  and  actions  that  allow  it  to 
reduce  its  greenhouse  gas  emissions,  seeking  to  generate  environmental  benefits,  social  and 
economic for the company and the countries where it operates. 

LATAM's  sustainability  strategy  launched  in  2021  is  based  on  4  action  fronts:  Environmental 
Management  System,  Climate  Change,  Circular  Economy  and  Shared  Value,  and  from  these,  it 
manages  different  areas  related  to  the  environment.  With  these  pillars,  the  company  seeks  to 
generate social, environmental, and economic value for society and business, anticipating the risks 
inherent in the sustainability challenges posed by the current and future scenario. 

The aspects addressed in from each pillar of the strategy are presented below: 

Environmental management system 

The  company  is  working  to  standardize  its  environmental  management  system  at  a  cross-cutting 
level and under the same structure, this, it seeks to certify its operation under stage II of the IATA 
Environmental  Assessment  Program  (IEnvA),  which  is  designed  to  evaluate  and  improve, 
independently, the environmental management of airlines, given that in addition to being based on 
the ISO 14001 standard, it involves the best practices of the industry. 

Climate Change Management 

To  manage  its  carbon  footprint  and  contribute  to  the  protection  of  strategic  ecosystems  in  the 
region, LATAM has set a goal to offset 50% of domestic emissions by 2030 and be carbon-neutral 
by 2050, for this it has focused your strategy in: 

Efficient operation: with the implementation of LATAM Fuel Efficiency, a corporate program for 
the efficient use of fuel that considers initiatives in all areas of the company that have an impact on 
fuel consumption. 

Sustainable Alternative Fuels (SAF): Given the importance of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to 
combat  climate  change  in  the  long  term,  LATAM  is  developing  a  work  plan  focused  on  Brazil, 
which  has  recognized  and  long-standing  experience  in  biofuels;  and  Chile,  a  country  with  high 
development potential in green hydrogen. 

Emission  compensation:  LATAM  has  assumed  a  total  commitment  to  the  environment  and  has 
established  different  alliances  that  will  allow  it  not  only  to  acquire  carbon  credits  for  its 
compensation needs but also to contribute to the conservation of strategic ecosystems in the region. 

Circular Economy 

LATAM aims to eliminate single-use plastics before 2023 and be a zero waste to landfill group by 
2027.  To  achieve  these  goals,  it  has  reviewed  its  waste  management  to  promote  the  circular 
economy within its processes, acting from materiality. 

Shared Value 

In creating shared value, the Solidarity Plane program stands out, created in 2011 and with which 
LATAM makes its structure, connectivity, and passenger and cargo transport capacity available to 
society  for  free  in  South  America.  The  program  acts  in  three  areas  of  action:  it  supports  health 
needs, promotes the conservation of natural resources, and provides support in the event of natural 
disasters.

Within the framework of the implementation of the strategy, during 2021, the company worked on 
the following initiatives: 

● 

Recertification of the standard ISO 14001 in the cargo operation in Miami. 

NOTE 37 - EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  

Certification  of  all  LATAM  operations  under  the  IATA  Environmental  Assessment 

● 
Program IEnvA in stage 1. 

(1)  Within the context of the Chapter 11 Proceedings in which the Company and some of its 
subsidiaries find themselves: 

● 

● 

Measurement and management of the corporate carbon footprint 

Neutralization of domestic air operations in Colombia. 

● 
Launching of the Vuela Neutral compensation program, aimed at corporate customers in the 
passenger  and  cargo  business,  allowing  customers  to  know  their  emissions  and  choose  to  offset 
their emissions with a portfolio project evaluated by LATAM. 

● 

Verification of the company's emissions under the EU-ETS and CORSIA schemes. 

Structuring of the baseline in waste management to advance in the fulfillment of its circular 

● 
economy goals. 

● 

● 

Evaluation of processes for the elimination of single-use plastic in the operation. 

Strengthening of the Solidarity Plane program. 

The group was part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index for six consecutive years, being classified 
as one of the most sustainable in the world. Today, LATAM does not participate in the selection 
because  it  is  in  the  process  of  financial  reorganization,  but  it  continues  to  use  the  analysis  as 
benchmarking and as a guide to implementing improvements in its processes. 

In  2021,  according  to  the  S&P  Corporate  Sustainability  Assessment,  LATAM  was  recognized  as 
the  most  sustainable  airline  in the  region  and the  fourth  worldwide, according  to  this  assessment, 
LATAM was included in the 2022 Yearbook in the Bronze category, maintaining its position as one 
of the best-performing companies in sustainability in the industry. 

a.  On February 8, 2022, the judge of the Court of the Southern District of New York approved 
the request to extend the exclusivity period related to the solicitation period for voting on 
LATAM’s proposed Reorganization Plan until March 7, 2022. 

b.  On  February  10,  2022,  an  amendment  to  the  restructuring  support  agreement,  or 
"Restructuring  Support  Agreement  (RSA)",  dated  November  26,  2021,  was  signed. 
Through  said  amendment,  the  Ad  Hoc  Group  of  LATAM  Bondholders,  represented  by 
White  &  Case  LLP  (W&C),  is  incorporated  as  part  of  the  RSA,  agreeing  among  other 
things, to support the Reorganization Plan presented by LATAM. LATAM agreed mainly 
to pay certain of this group’s professional fees up to a certain limit With the subscription of 
this amendment to the RSA, the Reorganization Plan presented by LATAM has, as of this 
date, the support of more than 67% of the 2024 and 2026 LATAM Bonds, which adds to 
the  support  from  creditors  that  represent  more  than  70%  of  LATAM's  unsecured  credits 
and shareholders that have more than 50% of LATAM's capital. 

c.  On February 17, 2022, upon approval by the Board of Directors on the recommendation of 
the Committee of Directors, the proposal for the amendment and restatement of the existing 
DIP Credit Agreement, the “Proposed Amended and Restated DIP Credit Agreement”, was 
filed  for  approval  with  the  Court.  This proposed  Amended  &  Restated  DIP  Credit 
Agreement extends  the  expected  maturity  date  of  all  tranches  of  the  Existing  DIP 
Agreement,  refinances  and  replaces  the  existing  Tranche  C  financing  under  the  existing 
DIP Credit Agreement, and includes certain reductions in fees and interest. 

Subsequently,  on  March  7,  2022,  upon  approval  of  the  Board  of  Directors  on  the 
recommendation  of  the  Committee  of  Directors,  certain  additional  amendments  (the 
"Additional  Amendments") to 
the Proposed  Amended  &  Restated  DIP  Credit 
Agreement that were agreed upon with potential creditors were submitted to the Court. The

During  the  month  of  February,  the  Company  filed  an  application to register  an  additional 
200  million  ADRs  (American  Depositary  Receipt)  with  the  Securities  Exchange  Commission 
(“SEC”) with the sole purpose of having them available for issuance in the market, since most of 
the existing registered ADRs have already been issued. The Company informed that this does not 
mean that the Company is issuing new shares or increasing capital, but rather allowing investors in 
the United States to access the ADRs, which have as an underlying security LATAM’s previously 
issued common stock.  

After  December  31,  2021 and  until the  date  of  issuance  of these  financial  statements,  there  is  no 
knowledge of other events of a financial or other nature, which significantly affect the balances or 
interpretation thereof. 

The  consolidated  financial  statements  of  LATAM  Airlines  Group  S.A.  and  Subsidiaries  as  of 
December 31, 2021, have been approved in the Extraordinary Meeting Session of March 8, 2022.

Rationale

Comparative analysis and explanation 
of main trends:

1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL 
STATEMENT
At December 31, 2021, the company’s 
assets totaled ThUS$13,312,434 
which, compared to December 31, 
2020, represents a decrease of 
ThUS$2,337,656 (14.9%). 

The company’s-current assets 
decreased by ThUS$508,408 (16.2%) 
vs. yearend 2020. The main decreases 
were seen in the following line 
items: Cash and cash equivalents for 
ThUS$649,006 (38.3%). This decrease 
is explained by the net negative 
change presented in the Company’s 
consolidated statement of flows; 
inventories, current for ThUS$36,237 
(11.2%), mainly associated with an 
increase in material consumption; Non-
current assets or groups of assets held 
for disposal classified as held for sale 
for ThUS$129,339 (46.8%) originated 
mainly by the materialization of the 
sale of 5 aircraft (US$103 million) 
and the adjustment to the net 
realizable value of aircraft classified 
in this heading, offset by an increase 
in Commercial debtors and other 
receivables for ThUS$303,291 (50.6%), 
mainly explained by an increase in 
credit card sales.

The company’s liquidity index showed 
a decrease going from 0.42 times at 
yearend 2020 to 0.21 times at the 
end of December 2021, mainly due to 
a 64.7% increase in current Liabilities. 
Moreover, we can see that the quick 
ratio decreased from 0.23 times at 
yearend 2020 to 0.08 times at the end 
of December 2021. 

The company’s Non-current assets 
decreased by ThUS$1,829,248 (14.6%) 
vs. yearend 2020. The main line items 
of non-current assets with decreases 
are: Property, plant, and equipment 
for ThUS$1,240,402 (11.6%), whose 
negative variation is mainly explained 
by the depreciation in the year by 
ThUS$982,995, renegotiations of 
assets by right of use associated with 
109 aircraft for approximately US$180 
million, the rejection of fleet due to the 
Chapter 11 process for ThUS$1,094,318, 
exchange difference worth 
ThUS$40,752, and other movements 
worth ThUS$143,816, offset by year 
additions worth ThUS$1,201.479; 
decrease of Intangible assets other 
than goodwill by ThUS$27,667 (2.6%), 
mainly due to exchange adjustments 
for ThUS$58,734, a decrease of 
ThUS$51,162 corresponding to the 
amortization of the year, offset by 
an increase from additions worth 
ThUS$82,798; decrease of deferred 

tax assets by ThUS$549,526 (97.3%), 
generated mainly by provisions 
for deferred tax assets estimated 
to be non-recoverable worth 
ThUS$1,251,912, offset by recognition 
of deferred tax by operation 2021 for 
ThUS$702,386.

At December 31, 2021, the company’s 
liabilities totaled ThUS$20,379,338 
which, compared to the value as 
at December 31, 2020, represents 
an increase of ThUS$2,286,863 
(equivalent to 12.6%). 

The company’s Non-current assets 
increased by ThUS$4,844,441 (64.7%) vs. 
yearend 2020. The main increases were 
seen in: Other financial liabilities, current 
for ThUS$1,397,721 (45.7%), which 
are mainly explained by the increase 
from obtaining new loans associated 
with the second draft under DIP Credit 
Contract for ThUS$661,042 and others 
for ThUS$567, the increase in interest 
earned worth ThUS$504,599, and 
movements for fleet renegotiations and 
other reclassifications from the non-
current line item worth ThUS$1,090,885, 
offset by capital and interest payments 
made in the period for ThUS$671,035, 
debt losses due to fleet rejections, 
ThUS$188,337; Commercial and 
other accounts payable, current for 
ThUS$2,538.028 (109.3%), mainly 

Financial Information

Integrated Report 2021explained by agreed claims of rejected 
aircraft and increased maintenance 
provisions; Accounts payable to related 
entities, current for ThUS$660,790, 
explained by the transfer of non-
current position to current position 
on DIP financing for ThUS$396,423 
plus interest earned for ThUS$35,030, 
obtaining financing for ThUS$130,102 
associated with the second draft 
under DIP Credit Contract, and accrued 
interest and other movements for 
ThUS$99,235; Other non-financial 
liabilities, current for ThUS$243,785 
(11.7%), explained by increased deferred 
income of ThUS$236,257 and other 
miscellaneous non-financial liabilities 
worth ThUS$7,528.

The indebtedness indicator of the 
company’s current Liabilities for the 
period stood at 1.75. The impact 
of current Liabilities on total debt 
increased by 19.12 percentage points, 
from 41.41% at yearend 20202 to 
60.53% at the end of the current period. 

The company’s non-current Liabilities 
decreased by THUS$2,557,578 (24.1%), 
compared to the sum reached by 
December 31, 2020. The main decreases 
are seen under Other non-current 
financial liabilities by ThUS$1,855.099 
(23.8%). This variation is mainly explained 
by decreases in debt losses due to 

fleet rejections for ThUS$999,782 and 
movements due to fleet renegotiations 
and other reclassifications to the current 
heading worth ThUS$1,090,885, offset 
by other movements of the period for 
ThUS$235,568.

The other decreases are presented 
under Accounts Payable to Related 
Entities, Non-Current for ThUS$396,423 
(100%) explained mainly by the net 
effect of reclassification of balance to 
current position according to the terms 
of the DIP financing contract; Other 
non-financial liabilities, non-current 
for ThUS$189,952 (27.1%), primarily 
explained by the decrease in deferred 
income and reclassification to the current 
compensation position of Delta Air 
Lines, Inc., offset by an increase in Other 
provisions, non-current by ThUS$124,222 
(21.1%), explained by increases in tax 
contingencies by ThUS$125,875, Labor 
contingencies of ThUS$50,139, and 
the net effect decrease of provisions 
of onerous contracts and other minor 
provisions for ThUS$51,792.

The indebtedness indicator of the 
company’s Non-current Liabilities stood 
at (1.14). The impact of non-current 
Liabilities on total debt decreased by 
19.12 percentage points, from 58.59% 
at yearend 2020 to 39.47% at the end 
of December 2021.

The indicator of total indebtedness on 
the Company’s assets at the end of 
December 2021 is (2.89), 4.54 times 
lower than at the end of December 2020.

At the end of December 2021, the 
Company did not maintain current interest 
rate derivatives positions. Currently, 40% 
(42% by December 31, 2020) of the debt 
is fixed in the face of fluctuations in 
interest rates. Most of this debt is indexed 
at the reference rate based on LIBOR. 
Considering these hedges, the average 
rate on the debt is 5.69%.

The Equity attributable to the owners 
of the parent company decreased 
by ThUS$4,620,835 from a negative 
equity of ThUS$2,435,713 at December 
31, 2020 to a negative equity of 
ThUS$7,056,548 by December 31, 
2021. The main effects correspond to 
the year’s result attributable to the 
owners of the controller, corresponding 
to a loss of ThUS$4,647,491, a 
conversion adjustment of ThUS$18,354, 
and other increments in the year by 
ThUS$8,302.

2. CONSOLIDATED  
INCOME STATEMENT
At December 31, 2021, the controller 
reported a loss of ThUS$4,647,491, 
representing a negative variance of 
ThUS$101,604 compared to a loss of 
ThUS$4,545,887 in the same period last 
year. Net margin for the financial year 
settled at -90.9% in 2021 and -104.9% 
during 2020.

The operating results for the twelve 
months of 2021 amount to a loss of 
ThUS$1,119,277 which, compared to 
the loss of ThUS$1,665,288 as at 31 
December 2020, shows a variation 
equivalent to 32.8%, while operating 
margin reaches -21.9%, 16.5 percentage 
points below the margin of -38.4% as at 
31 December 2020.

Operating income for the financial year 
increased 17.9% vs. the same period of 
2020, totaling THUS$5,111,346. This 
increase is largely due to a 23.2% rise in 
passenger revenues and 27.4% in cargo 
revenues, while Other revenues decreased 
by 44.7%. The effect of the Brazilian real’s 
depreciation represents lower ordinary 
revenues by around US$40 million.

During June 2020, the indefinite 
cessation of operations of LATAM Airlines 
Argentina S.A. was announced, due to 
local industry conditions aggravated by 

Financial Information

297

Integrated Report 2021the COVID-19 pandemic, whereby the 
airline stopped operating 12 domestic 
destinations. At the end of 2020, 
LATAM Airlines Argentina S.A. reported 
Operating revenues of US$50 million in 
its Individual income statement.

PAX revenues totaled THUS$3,342,381 
which, compared to the 
THUS$2,713,774 from the twelve 
months of 2020, translates into a 23.2% 
increase. This variation is due to the 
18.0% increase in demand measured 
in RPK (revenue passenger-kilometer) 
and 4.3% in the yields compared to the 
previous year, while load factor shows 
a negative variation of 2.1 percentage 
points from the financial year 2020; on 
the other hand, RASK (revenue per ASK 
– Available Seat-Kilometer) reported a 
1.4% increase, explained by the recovery 
of demand thanks to the lifting of 
quarantines and travel restrictions since 
the second half of the current year.

As at 31 December 2021, cargo 
revenues reached ThUS$1,541,634, a 
27.4% increase from 2020. Despite the 
1.4% drop in RTK traffic, yields increased 
29.2%, driven mainly by a strong import 
and export scenario.

The Other Income line item shows 
a decrease of ThUS$183,671 due 
mainly to a fall of ThUS$55,990 in 

Tour Services and Airplane Leasing, in 
addition to the compensation received 
for the cancellation of the purchase of 
four A350 aircraft from Delta Air Lines 
Inc. for ThUS$62,000 and ThUS$9,240 
for the advance return of leased aircraft 
to Qatar Airways, both during the 
second quarter of 2020, together with 
the negative change in compensation 
income for ThUS$14,279, received from 
Delta Air Lines Inc. associated with 
the implementation of the JBA (joint 
business agreement) signed in 2019.

At December 31, 2021, operating 
costs totaled THUS$6,230,623 which, 
compared to 2020, translate into higher 
costs by THUS$230,666, equivalent to a 
3.8% increase, whereas unit cost per ASK 
decreased by 14.5%. Furthermore, the 
effect of the Brazilian Real’s depreciation 
on this line item translates into lower 
costs by roughly US$38 million. Item 
variations are explained as follows:

a) Remunerations and benefits increased 
ThUS$79,839 due to higher recognized 
expenditures for performance bonuses, 
which were suspended during financial 
year 2020, partly offset by an 18% 
decline in the average payroll compared 
to the previous year.

b) Fuel increased 42.3%, equivalent 
to ThUS$442,433. This increase 

corresponds mainly to 25.4% higher 
average unhedged prices and 15.5% 
growth in consumption measured 
in gallons. LATAM recognized a 
ThUS$10,100 fuel hedge profit in 2021, 
compared to a ThUS$14,316 loss in the 
twelve months of 2020.

c) Commissions show a decrease of 
ThUS$2,701, as a result of the increase 
in direct sales in own agencies and 
digital media during 2021.

d) Depreciation and Amortization 
decreased by ThUS$223,992, mainly 
explained by a smaller average 
fleet during 2021 and the penalties 
levied in the previous year due to 
the accelerated term of IT projects 
resulting from the implementation of 
the LATAM XP digital platform.

e) Other Leases and Landing Fees 
increased ThUS$35,183, mainly in 
handling costs, impacted by the recovery 
of the operation during the second half 
of 2021 and offset by lower airport fees.

f) Passenger Service decreased by 
ThUS$20,325, representing a variation 
of 20.8%, mainly due to restrictions on 
in-flight catering services, imposed as a 
result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and 
lower costs of passenger assistance due 
to contingencies. 

g) Aircraft Lease costs for 
ThUS$120,630. Since the second 
quarter of 2021, operational aircraft 
leases under variable mode were 
reported, as a result of the various 
agreements reached by the group.

Aircraft Leasing includes the costs 
associated with leasing payments by the 
hour (PBH) for contracts that have been 
modified by incorporating that structure. 
For these contracts that include variable 
payments by the hour (PBH) at the 
beginning of the period and after that, 
have fixed fees, an asset by right of use 
and lease liability were recognized for 
these amounts at the date of contract 
modification. These sums continue to 
be amortized on a linear basis during 
the term of the lease from the date of 
contract modification, even if at the 
beginning they have a variable payment 
period. Therefore, and as a result of the 
application of the lease accounting policy, 
the result of the period includes both the 
leasing expense for variable payments 
(Aircraft leasing) as well as the expense 
resulting from the amortization of the 
right of use included in the depreciation 
line and the interest on the lease liability.

h) Maintenance has higher costs by 
ThUS$61,356, equivalent to 13.0%, 
mainly due to a higher operation since 
the second half of the current year.

Integrated Report 2021by US$1.72 billion, US$37 million from 
the penalization of airport slots and 
US$81 million from fuel hedge contracts, 
all of which generated a loss during the 
first quarter of 2020, partly offset by 
higher reorganization costs during 2021, 
equivalent to US$1.34 billion.

The main line items in the Consolidated 
Financial Statement of TAM S.A. and 
Affiliates, which caused a currency 
exchange loss of ThUS$3,973 at 
December 31, 2021, were: Other 
financial liabilities; THUS$75 loss 
from USD-denominated loans and 
financial leasing for fleet acquisitions; 
net accounts receivable and payable 
to related companies, totaling a gain 
of THUS$17,970, and net accounts 
receivable and payable to third parties, 
totaling a loss of THUS$27,187.  
The other line items of net assets 
and liabilities generated a loss of 
THUS$11,023.

i) The Other Operating Costs show a 
decrease of ThUS$261,757, mainly due 
to adjustments in the estimates of write-
offs and tax, labor, and civil proceedings.

Financial revenues totaled ThUS$21,107 
which, compared to ThUS$50,397 in 
2020, represent lower revenues by 
ThUS$29,290. Despite higher cash 
levels during the six-month period 
compared to the same period in 2020, 
this reduction is due to the limitations 
of Chapter 11 on the group’s cash 
management, requiring 70% of the cash 
to be maintained in authorized banks.

Financial Costs increased 37.2% totaling 
ThUS$805,544 by December 31, 2021. 
The draft of DIP (debtor in possession) 
financing during the fourth quarter of 
2020, in addition to the three drafts in 
June, November, and December 2021, 
increased debt by US$1.95 billion, 
with a higher interest rate, leading to 
an increase of approximately US$330 
million in interest earned.

The other income/costs as at December 
31, 2021 showed a positive change 
of ThUS$723,360. The contingency 
generated by the COVID-19 pandemic 
affected the group’s operations, showing 
signs of impairment that required the 
carrying out of impairment tests resulting 
in the penalization of the total goodwill 

3. ANALYSIS AND EXPLANATION 
OF CONSOLIDATED NET CASH 
FLOW GENERATED BY OPERATION, 
INVESTMENT, AND FINANCING 
ACTIVITIES 
The Company’s cash flow, after the 
first quarter of 2020, has been affected 
mainly by the decrease in passenger 
transport operations due to border 
shutdowns and quarantine periods 
designed to control the COVID 19 
pandemic in the countries where the 
Company operates, and due to the filing 
of voluntary requests for reorganization 
under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy 
Code of the United States of America, 
which has allowed the protection of the 
Company’s liquidity.

The Operating Cash Flow as at December 
31, 2021, shows a positive change of 
ThUS$310,598 over the previous year, due 
to the positive change in Receipts from 
Sales of Goods and Service Rendering 
for ThUS$739,369, Payments to and on 
Behalf of Employees for ThUS$285,942, 
and Income Taxes Rebates for 
ThUS$56,255. This is offset by negative 
changes in Payments to Suppliers for 
the provision of goods, whose variations 
originate from the higher payments made 
by ThUS$584,146, Other Cash Inflows 
(Outflows) by ThUS$101,169 and Other 
Payments for Operating Activities by 
ThUS$85,837.

The negative ThUS$101,169 variation 
in the Other Cash Inflows and Outflows 
in Operating Cash Flow is mainly due to 
the variation in Delta’s compensation 
for ThUS$62,000, Derivatives 
Premiums and Margin Guarantees for 
ThUS$32,990, ThUS$54,851 Court 
Deposits and Bank Fees, Taxes and 
Others for ThUS$16,727, offset by a 
positive variation of ThUS$60,848 in 
Fuel Derivatives transactions.

Flow from Investment Activities shows 
a negative variation of ThUS$576,261 
compared to the previous period, given 
the negative changes in the following 
items: Purchases of Property, Plant, 
and Equipment and purchases of 
intangible assets for ThUS$262,981 
and ThUS$13,085, respectively, Interest 
accrued of ThUS$27,803 and the net 
effect between Other receipts for the 
sale of equity or debt instruments of 
other entities and Other payments 
for the acquisition of equity or debt 
instruments of other entities by 
ThUS$323,245. This was slightly offset 
by positive variations in: Sums derived 
from the sale of property, plant, and 
equipment for ThUS$29,434 and other 
cash inflows (outflows) for ThUS$20,667.

Cash flow from financing activities 
shows a negative variation of 
ThUS$1,011,187, compared to the 

Financial Information

299

Integrated Report 2021previous year, which is explained by 
the following negative variations: Sums 
from short- and long-term loans for 
ThUS$1,323,871 and related loans 
for ThUS$243,023. This variation is 
offset by the following concepts: Loan 
Payments of ThUS$330,664, Interest 
Paid of ThUS$105,797, Other Cash 
Inflows (Outflows) of ThUS$96,754, 
and Payment of Lease Liabilities of 
ThUS$18,696, among others.

The flows from loans described above 
include the following events: 

(1) During March and April 2020, LATAM 
Airlines Group S.A. withdrew the entire 
(US$600 million) committed credit 
line “Revolving Credit Facility (RCF)”. 
The financing matures on March 29, 
2022. The credit line is guaranteed with 
collateral consisting of aircraft, engines, 
and spare parts.

(2) On May 26, 2020, LATAM Airlines 
Group S.A. and its subsidiaries in Chile, 
Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador filed for 
protection under Chapter 11 of the 
United States bankruptcy law in the 
Southern District Court of New York. 
Under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy 
Code. The same was true for TAM LINHAS 
AEREAS S.A. and its subsidiaries (all 
LATAM subsidiaries in Brazil), on July 9, 
2020. Filing for Chapter 11 automatically 

suspends most actions against LATAM 
and its subsidiaries, including most 
actions to collect financial obligations 
incurred prior to the date of filing for 
Chapter 11, or to exercise control over 
the property of LATAM and its affiliates. 
Consequently, although the bankruptcy 
filing may have resulted in non-
compliance with some of LATAM’s and its 
subsidiaries’ obligations, counterparties 
may not take any action as a result of 
such non-compliance.

At the end of the financial year, Chapter 
11 retains most of the actions against 
debtors, so debt repayment does not 
accelerate. The group continues to 
submit its financial information as at 
December 31, 2021, including its financial 
debt and leases, in accordance with the 
terms originally agreed, pending future 
agreements it may reach with its creditors 
under Chapter 11. For agreements 
that have already been modified or 
extinguished, financial information has 
been disclosed in accordance with the 
new terms and conditions.

(3) On June 24, 2020, the United States 
Southern District Court of New York 
approved LATAM’s motion to reject 
certain aircraft lease contracts. The 
rejected contracts included 17 aircraft 
financed under the EETC structure 
amounting to US$844.1 million, and one 

aircraft financed with a financial lease 
of US$4.5 million.

(4) On October 20, 2020, the United 
States Court for the Southern District 
of New York approved LATAM’s motion 
to reject an aircraft leasing contract 
financed under a financial lease in the 
amount of US$34.3 million.

(5) On September 29, 2020, LATAM 
Airlines Group S.A. obtained debtor in 
possession (“DIP”) financing for a total of 
US$2.45 billion, consisting of US$1.30 
billion of one tranche A (“Tranche A”) 
and US$1.15 billion of one tranche 
C (“Tranche C”), US$750 million of 
which are provided by related parties. 
Obligations under DIP are guaranteed by 
collateral consisting of certain assets of 
LATAM and certain of its subsidiaries, 
including, but not limited to, shares, 
certain engines, and spare parts.

On October 8, 2020, LATAM made a 
partial withdrawal for US$1.15 billion on 
Tranche A and Tranche C, and then, on or 
around June 22, 2021, LATAM made an 
additional withdrawal of US$500 million 
on Tranche A and Tranche C.

On October 18, 2021, LATAM Airlines 
Group S.A. obtained Court approval for 
a tranche B (“Tranche B”) of debtor in 
possession (“DIP”) financing  for a total 

of up to US$750 million. The obligations 
of this Tranche B, like the previous 
tranches, are guaranteed with the same 
collateral provided by LATAM and its 
subsidiaries subject to the Chapter 11 
proceeding, without limitation, including 
stocks, certain engines, and spare parts. 
The next DIP drafts must be made on 
Tranche B until the ratio drawn of the 
latter is equal to that of the previous 
tranches. Once this ratio is equal, the 
drafts are pro-rata.

On November 10, 2021, the group made 
a partial withdrawal of US$200 million 
of Tranche B and later, on December 
28, 2021, LATAM made a new draft 
of US$100 million. Following these 
drafts, LATAM still has US$1.25 million 
available for future withdrawals.

The maturity of the DIP is April 8, 2022, 
subject to potential extension, at LATAM’s 
choice, for an additional 60 days in the 
event that the LATAM reorganization plan 
is confirmed by a U.S. Court order from 
the Southern District of New York, but 
the plan is not yet effective.

(6) On March 31, 2021, the United 
States Southern District Court of New 
York approved and subsequently issued 
an order dated April 13, 2021, approving 
the group’s motion to extend certain 
lease contracts on 3 aircraft.

Integrated Report 2021(7) On June 17, 2021, the United States 
Southern District Court of New York 
approved the group’s motion to reject 
the lease contract for a financial lease-
financed aircraft worth US$130.7 million.

(i) Fuel price risk
To carry out its operations, the Company 
purchases fuel known as USGC 54 grade 
Jet Fuel, which is subject to variations in 
international fuel prices.

(8) On June 30, 2021, the United States 
Southern District Court of New York 
approved the group’s motion to reject 
the lease contract for 3 financial lease-
financed aircraft worth US$307.4 million.

(9) On November 1, 2021, the United 
States Southern District Court of New 
York approved the group’s motion to reject 
the lease contract for 1 financial lease-
financed engine worth US$19.5 million.

Last, the company’s net cash flow as at 
December 31, 2021, prior to the effects 
of exchange rate differences, shows a 
negative variation of ThUS$1,276,850, 
compared to the previous year.

4. FINANCIAL RISK ANALYSIS
The goal of the Company’s global risk 
management program is to minimize 
the adverse effects of the financial risks 
that affect the group.

(a) Market risk
Given the nature of its business, the 
Company is exposed to market factors, 
such as: (i) fuel price risk, (ii) interest rate 
risk, and (iii) local exchange rate risk.

To hedge against fuel risk exposure, the 
Company trades in derivatives instruments 
(Swaps and Options) whose underlying 
assets may be different from Jet Fuel, 
whereby it is possible to hedge in West 
Texas Intermediate crude oil (“WTI”), Brent 
crude oil (“BRENT”), and distilled Heating 
Oil (”HO”), which are closely related to Jet 
Fuel and have greater liquidity.

At December 31, 2021, the Company 
recognized a US$10.13 billion gain from 
fuel hedges net of premiums on the 
cost of sales of the period. Part of the 
spreads resulting between the lower and 
higher market value of these contracts is 
recognized as a hedge reserves component 
in the company’s net equity. At December 
31, 2021, the market value of existing 
contracts stood at ThUS$17,641.

(ii) Exchange rate risk
The functional currency, also used 
in presenting the Parent company’s 
Financial Statements, is the US dollar; 
therefore, Transactional and Conversion 
exchange rate risks are mainly a result 
of the operating activities of the 
business, as well as the company’s 

strategic and accounting activities, 
which are presented in monetary units 
other than the functional currency.

LATAM's Affiliates are also exposed to 
exchange rate risk, whose impact affects 
the Company’s Consolidated Result.

The greatest exposure to exchange 
rate risk for LATAM comes from the 
concentration of businesses in Brazil, 
as they are mainly denominated in 
Brazilian Reals (BRL), and it is managed 
actively by the Company.

The Company minimizes exchange 
risk exposure by contracting derivative 
instruments or through natural hedges 
or the execution of internal transactions.
At December 31, 2021, the Company 
had no active F/X contracts.

During the period ended on December 
31, 2021, the Company did not recognize 
gains from F/X hedges net of premiums. 
During the same period in 2020, the 
Company recognized a gain of THUS$3.24 
from F/X hedges net of premiums.

(iii) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to variations in 
interest rates on the markets, affecting 
the future cash flows of its current and 
future financial assets and liabilities.

The Company is mainly exposed to the 
London Inter Bank Offer Rate (“LIBOR”) 
and other less relevant interest rates, such 
as Brazilian Interbank Deposit Certificates 
(“CDI”, for its Portuguese acronym).

At December 31, 2021, roughly 40% of 
the debt has a fixed rate or is linked to 
one of the financial hedging instruments 
arranged. Considering these hedges, the 
average rate on the debt is 5.69%.

On March 5, 2021, the ICE Benchmark 
Administration (“IBA”) announced that, 
as a result of the poor access to the 
information needed to calculate the 
rates, the release of the USD 1-week 
and 2-month rates will cease on 
December 31, 2021, and for all other 
terms, on June 30, 2023. Although 
the adoption of alternative rates is 
voluntary, the imminent interruption 
of LIBOR makes it essential for market 
participants to consider moving to 
alternative rates, such as SOFR and 
have appropriate alternative language 
in existing contracts that refer to 
the discontinuance of LIBOR. In this 
regard, the Company identifies that 
its derivative and debt contracts may 
be affected by the change in the 
relevant rate. To mitigate the effect, the 
Company is evaluating adherence to the 
ISDA protocol in the case of derivatives 
and is following the recommendations 

Financial Information

301

Integrated Report 2021in its last projection in January 2022, 
the IMF estimated growth of 5.9% for 
the global economy in 2021, while 
it projected growth of 4.4% in 2022, 
0.5 percentage points (p.p.) below the 
previous estimate, and a more moderate 
growth of 3.8% in 2023.

For the United States, the IMF has 
estimated a 4.0% expansion for 
2022 in its last January projection, 
0.6 percentage points below the last 
October 2021 estimate, in response 
to the early withdrawal of monetary 
policies and the continuation of 
disruptions in the logistics chain; and a 
growth of 2.6% for 2023, 0.4 p.p. above 
the previous estimate. On the other 
hand, IMF estimates for Europe during 
2022 have also been revised downwards 
from the previous estimate, expecting 
a growth of 3.9% in 2022, 0.4 p.p. lower 

versus the previous estimate; and a 
2.5% expansion by 2023, 0.5 p.p. above 
the last estimate. 

On the other hand, the IMF estimated 
growth of 2.4% for the Latin America 
and Caribbean region during 2022, 
0.6 percentage points below the 
previous October 2021 forecast, and 
an expansion of 2.6% for 2023. Brazil’s 
economy is expected to grow by 0.3% 
in 2022, which is 1.2 percentage points 
below the previous estimate, while for 
Chile, the Central Bank estimated in its 
last Monetary Policy Report (IPoM, for 
its Spanish acronym) in December 2021 
an economic expansion in the range of 
1.5 to 2.5% by 2022.

a) Below, we are presenting the main 
financial indicators in the Consolidated 
Financial Statement:

of the relevant authorities, including the 
Alternative Reference Rates Committee 
(“ARRC”) in the case of debt, in line 
with the measures generally adopted 
by the market to replace LIBOR in debt 
contracts. In the case of derivatives, 
LATAM does not maintain current 
contracts indexed to the LIBOR rate.

(b) Concentration of credit risk
A high percentage of the Company’s 
accounts receivables comes from 
passengers, cargo services for 
individuals, and various trade companies 
that are spread out both economically 
and geographically; thus, they are 
generally short term. Thereby, the 
Company is not exposed to a significant 
concentration of credit risk.

5. ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
In order to analyze the economic 
environment in which the Company exists, 
below we present a brief explanation 
of the situation and evolution of the 
main economies that affect it nationally, 
regionally, and worldwide.

In the midst of the spread of the new 
omicron variant of COVID-19 and the 
emergence of significant inflationary 
pressures, the global economy has 
begun 2022 in a weaker position than 
previously expected. On the one hand, 
the omicron variant has led some 

countries to reimpose certain mobility 
restrictions, while disruptions in the 
logistics chain and rising oil and energy 
prices have generated high levels of 
inflation. These have mainly affected 
the United States and emerging and 
developing economies. The International 
Monetary Fund (IMF) expects 
inflationary pressures to last longer 
than previously estimated, as a result 
of the 2022 continuity of disruptions 
in the logistics chain and high energy 
prices, and it should gradually decrease 
during the year as the supply-demand 
imbalances balance out, and with the 
implementation of monetary policies 
in major economies. In addition, in the 
context of the war between Russia and 
Ukraine and the effects of this conflict 
on the oil supply, there has been a sharp 
rise in fuel prices, a factor that could 
continue to significantly impact global 
inflationary pressures.

In line with this challenging environment 
for the global economy, the IMF’s 
latest projections consider a cross-
cutting downward adjustment between 
economies for new factors not foreseen 
in the previous projection related to 
the early withdrawal of fiscal stimulus 
mainly in the US, disruptions in the 
logistics chain, the spread of the 
omicron variant, and the instability of 
the real estate sector in China. However,
