CONTROLADORA VUELA COMPAÑÍA DE AVIACIÓN, S.A.B. DE C.V. AND SUBSIDIARIES
(d.b.a. VOLARIS)
Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three months period ended March 31, 2015 and 2014
(In thousands of Mexican pesos and thousands
of U.S. dollars,
except when indicated otherwise)
1. Corporate information
Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. (“Controladora”) was incorporated in Mexico in accordance with Mexican corporate laws on October 27, 2005.
Controladora and its subsidiaries (The “Company”) are domiciled in Mexico, City at Av. Antonio Dovali Jaime No. 70, 13th Floor, Tower B, Colonia Zedec Santa Fe, México D.F.
The Company, through its subsidiary, Concesionaria Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.P.I. de C.V. (“Concesionaria”), has a concession to provide air transportation services for passengers, cargo and mail throughout Mexico and abroad. The Company is listed on the Mexican Stock Exchange (“BMV”) and on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE).
2. Basis of preparation
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2015 have been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard (“IAS”) 34 Interim Financial Reporting.
The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual consolidated financial statements, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the last full year reported.
The accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the last full year reported.
Basis of measurement and presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical-cost convention, except for derivative financial instruments that are measured at fair value and investments in marketable securities measured at fair value through profit and loss (“FVTPL”).
Non-controlling interests represent the portion of profits or losses and net assets representing ownership interests in subsidiaries not held by the Company. Non-controlling interests are presented separately in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income and in equity in the consolidated statement of financial position separately from the Company’s own equity.
Acquisitions of non-controlling interest are recognized as equity transactions (transactions with owners in their capacity as owners). The carrying amounts of the controlling and non controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid are recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the parent.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates
The amounts in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been rounded off to thousands of Mexican pesos, except when otherwise were indicated. The total amounts and percentages may not accurately reflect the absolute amounts in this document due to rounding off.
3. Significant entities of the Group
Significant subsidiaries
At March 31, 2015, except as described in the following paragraph, there were no changes in the significant subsidiaries of the Group.
On January 21, 2015, a new subsidiary of the Company was organized under the corporate name of Servicios Operativos Terrestres Volaris, S. A. de C. V., whose corporate purpose contemplates, among other things, rendering services, as well as contracting and subcontracting any type of personnel who supports land operations for companies that render passenger, cargo, and mail air transportation service in all its areas.
4. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates, assumptions and judgments that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Certain of the Company’s accounting policies reflect significant judgments, assumptions or estimates about matters that are both inherently uncertain and material to the Company financial position or results of operations.
Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised. The estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.
i) Aircraft maintenance deposits paid to lessors
The Company makes certain assumptions at the inception of a lease and at each reporting date to determine the recoverability of maintenance deposits. The key assumptions include the estimated time between the maintenance events, the date the aircraft is due to be returned to the lessor and the number of flight hours the aircraft is estimated to be flown before it is returned to the lessor.
ii) Long-term incentive plan and management incentive plan
The Company measures the cost of its equity-settled transactions at fair value at the date the equity benefits are conditionally granted to employees.
The cost of equity-settled transactions is recognized in earnings, together with a corresponding increase in other capital reserves in equity, over the period in which the performance and/or service conditions are fulfilled. For grants that vest on meeting performance conditions, compensation cost is recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be met. The cumulative expense recognized for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Company’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest.
The Company measures the cost of equity-settled transactions with employees by reference to the fair value of the equity instruments at the date at which they are granted. Estimating fair value for share-based payment transactions requires determining the most appropriate valuation model, which is dependent on the terms and conditions of the grant. This estimate also requires determining the most appropriate inputs to the valuation model, including the expected life of the share option, volatility and dividend yield, and making assumptions about them.
Share appreciation rights (“SARs”) - cash settled
The cost of the SARs plan is measured initially at fair value at the grant date. This fair value is expensed over the period until the vesting date with recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting date up to, and including the settlement date, with changes in fair value recognized in salaries and benefits expense together with the grant date fair value.
iii) Deferred taxes
Deferred tax assets are recognized for all available tax losses to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the losses can be utilized. Management’s judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits together with future tax planning opportunities to advance taxable profit before expiration of available tax losses.
iv) Fair value of financial instruments
Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the consolidated statements of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flows model. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, a degree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidity risk, credit risk and expected volatility.
v) Impairment of long-lived assets
The Company assesses whether there are any indicators of impairment for long-lived assets annually and at other times when such indicators exist. Impairment exists when the carrying amount of a long-lived asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less cost to sell and its value-in-use. The value-in-use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model, using the Company’s projections of operating results for the near future. The recoverable amount of long-lived assets is sensitive to the uncertainties inherent in the preparation of projections and the discount rate used in the calculation.
vi) Allowance for doubtful accounts
An allowance for doubtful accounts receivables is established when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the original terms of the receivables.
5. Convenience translation
U.S. dollar amounts at March 31, 2015 shown in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been included solely for the convenience of the reader and are translated from Mexican pesos at March 31, 2015, divided by an exchange rate of Ps.15.1542 per U.S. dollar, as reported by the Mexican Central Bank (Banco de México) as the rate for the payment of obligations denominated in foreign currency payable in Mexico in effect on March 31, 2015. Such translation should not be construed as a representation that the peso amounts have been or could be converted into U.S. dollars at this or any other rate. The referred information in U.S. dollars is solely for information purposes and does not represent the amounts are in accordance with IFRS or the equivalent in U.S. dollars in which the transactions were conducted or in which the amounts presented in Mexican pesos can be translated or realized.
6. Seasonality of operations
The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of those for the entire year because the business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. The Company expect demand to be greater during the summer in the northern hemisphere, in December and around Easter, which can fall either in the first or second quarter, compared to the rest of the year. The Company and subsidiaries generally experience their lowest levels of passenger traffic in February, September and October, given their proportion of fixed costs, seasonality can affect their profitability from quarter to quarter. This information is provided to allow for a better understanding of the results, however management has concluded that this does not constitute “highly seasonal” as considered by IAS 34.
7. Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are represented by bank deposits and highly liquid investments with maturities of 90 days or less at the original purchase date.
For the purpose of the consolidated statements of cash flows, cash and cash equivalent consist of cash and short-term investments as defined above.
8. Related parties
An analysis of balances due to related parties at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is provided below. All companies are considered affiliates, since the Company’s primary shareholders or directors are also direct or indirect shareholders of the related parties:

9. Financial instruments
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset for one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument for another entity.
Adoption of IFRS 9 (2013)
On October 1, 2014 the Company elected to early adopt IFRS 9 (2013) Financial Instruments, which comprises aspects related to classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities, as well as hedge accounting treatment. This early adoption of IFRS 9 (2013) did not require retrospective adjustments to the Company.
Under IFRS 9 (2013), the FVTPL category used under IAS 39 remains permissible, although new categories of financial assets are introduced. These new categories are based on the characteristics of the instruments and the business model under which these are held, to either be measured at fair value or at amortized cost. For financial liabilities, categories provided under IAS 39 are kept. As a result, there was no difference in valuation and recognition of financial assets under IFRS 9 (2013), since those financial assets categorized under IAS 39 as FVTPL remain in that same category under IFRS 9 (2013). In the case of trade receivables, these were not affected in terms of valuation model by this version of IFRS 9 (2013), since they are carried at amortized cost and continued to be accounted as such.
Also, the hedge accounting section of IFRS 9 (2013) requires for options that qualify and are formally designated as hedging instruments, to define the intrinsic value of the option as the hedging instrument, thus allowing for the exclusion of changes in fair value attributable to extrinsic value (time value and volatility), to be accounted, under the transaction-related method, separately as a cost of hedging that needs to be initially recognized in OCI and accumulated in a separate component of equity, since the hedged item is a portion of the forecasted jet fuel consumption. The extrinsic value is recognized in income when the hedged item is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
i) Financial assets
Classification of financial assets
The Company determines the classification and measurement of financial assets, in accordance with the new categories introduced by IFRS 9 (2013), which are based on both: the characteristics of the contractual cash flows of these assets and the business model objective for holding them.
Financial assets include those carried at FVTPL, whose objective to hold them is for trading purposes (short term investments), or at amortized cost, for accounts receivables held to collect the contractual cash flows, which are characterized by solely payments of principal and interest (“SPPI”). Derivative financial instruments are also considered financial assets when these represent contractual rights to receive cash or another financial asset.
Initial recognition
All the Company’s financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, including derivative financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
The subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on their initial classification, as is described below:
| 1.- | Financial assets at FVTPL which include financial assets held for trading. |
| 2.- | Financial assets at amortized cost, whose characteristics meet the SPPI criterion and were originated to be held to collect principal and interest in accordance with the Company’s business model. |
| 3.- | Derivative financial instruments are designated for hedging purposes under the cash flow hedge (“CFH”) accounting model and are measured at fair value. |
Financial assets carried at amortized cost
Accounts receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market which meet the SPPI characteristics and are held to collect their cash flows. Therefore, after initial recognition at fair value, such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the Effective Interest Rate (“EIR”) method, less impairment. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or costs that are an integral part of the EIR. The EIR amortization is included in finance income in the consolidated statements of operations. The losses arising from impairment are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations as sales, marketing and distribution expenses.
ii) Financial liabilities
Classification of financial liabilities
Financial liabilities under IFRS 9 (2013) are classified at amortized cost or at FVTPL.
Derivative financial instruments are also considered financial liabilities when these represent contractual obligations to deliver cash or another financial asset.
Initial recognition
The Company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. All financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value.
The Company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable to suppliers, unearned transportation revenue, other accounts payable, financial debt and financial instruments.
Subsequent measurement
The measurement of financial liabilities depends on their classification as described below:
Financial liabilities at amortized cost
Accounts payable are subsequently measured at amortized cost and do not bear interest or result in gains and losses due to their short-term nature.
After initial recognition at fair value (consideration received), interest bearing loans and borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the EIR method. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the EIR amortization process.
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
FVTPL include financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities under the fair value option are classified as held for trading, if they are acquired for the purpose of selling them in the near future. This category includes derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedging instruments in hedge relationships as defined by IFRS 9 (2013).
Financial risk management
The Company’s activities are exposed to different financial risks derived from exogenous variables which are not under their control but whose effects might be potentially adverse: (i) market risk, (ii) credit risk, and (iii) liquidity risk. The Company’s global risk management program is focused on uncertainty in the financial markets and tries to minimize the potential adverse effects on the net earnings and working capital requirements. The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge part of these risks. The Company does not engage derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
The sources of these financial risks exposures are included in both “on balance sheet” exposures, such as recognized financial assets and liabilities, as well as in “off-balance sheet” contractual agreements and on highly expected forecasted transactions. These on and off-balance sheet exposures, depending on their profiles, do represent potential cash flow variability exposure, in terms of receiving less inflows or facing the need to meet outflows which are higher than expected, therefore increase the working capital requirements. Also, since adverse movements also erode the value of recognized financial assets and liabilities, as well some other off-balance sheet financial exposures such as operating leases, there is a need for value preservation, by transforming the profiles of these fair value exposures.
The Company has a Finance and Risk Management unit, which identifies and measures financial risk exposures, as well as design strategies to mitigate or transform the profile of certain risk exposures, which are taken up to the Corporate Governance level for approval.
10. Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
The Company mitigates certain financial risks, such as volatility in the price of jet fuel, adverse changes in interest rates and exchange rate fluctuations, through a risk management program that includes the use of derivative financial instruments.
In accordance with IFRS 9 (2013), derivative financial instruments are recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position at fair value. At inception of a hedge relationship, the Company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting; as well as, the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. The documentation includes the hedging strategy and objective, identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risks being hedged and how the entity will assess the effectiveness of changes in the hedging instrument’s fair value in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk(s). Only if such hedges are expected to be effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of the hedge item(s) and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been effective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated, hedge accounting treatment can be used.
Under the CFH accounting model, the effective portion of the hedging instrument´s changes in fair value is recognized in OCI, while the ineffective portion is recognized in current year earnings. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was no ineffectiveness with respect to derivative financial instruments. The amounts recognized in OCI are transferred to earnings in the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
The realized gain or loss of derivative financial instruments that qualify as CFH is recorded in the same caption of the hedged item in the consolidated statement of operations.
Accounting for the time value of options
The Company accounts for the time value of options in accordance with IFRS 9 (2013), which requires all derivative financial instruments to be initially recognized at fair value. Subsequent measurement for options purchased and designated as CFH requires that the option’s changes in fair value be segregated into its intrinsic value (which will be considered the hedging instrument’s effective portion in OCI) and its correspondent changes in extrinsic value (time value and volatility). The extrinsic value changes will be considered as a cost of hedging (recognized in OCI in a separate component of equity) and accounted for in income when the hedged items also is recognized in income.
Outstanding derivative financial instruments may require collateral to guarantee a portion of the unsettled loss prior to maturity. The amount of collateral delivered in pledge, is presented as part of non-current assets under the caption guarantee deposits, and the amount of the collateral is reviewed and adjusted on a daily basis based on the fair value of the derivative position.
11. Fair value measurements
The only financial assets and liabilities recognized at fair value on a recurring basis are the derivative financial instruments.
Fair value is the price that would be received from sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value measurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:
| (i) | In the principal market for the asset or liability, or |
| (ii) | In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability. |
The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible to by the Company.
The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, assuming that market participants act in their economic best interest.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant's ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.
The Company uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.
All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:
| · | Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. |
| · | Level 2 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly or indirectly observable. |
| · | Level 3 – Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable. |
At March 31, 2015, all assets and liabilities on which fair value is measured or disclosed by the Company have been categorized at Level 2.
For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period. At March 31, 2015, the Company determined that there were no transfers between the distinct fair value hierarchy levels.
For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Company has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

Qualitative and quantitative information of the derivatives position of Controladora Vuela Compañía de Aviación, S.A.B. de C.V. and Subsidiaries (“Volaris” the “Company”) at March 31, 2015.
| 1) | Management discussion about the financial derivatives instruments policies, explaining whether these policies allow them to be used only for hedging or other purposes such as negotiation. |
The Company´s activities are exposed to different financial risks derived from exogenous variables that are not under its control, but whose effects can be potentially adverse. The Company’s global risk management program is focused on the uncertainty in the financial markets and aims to minimize the adverse effects on the net earnings and necessities of working capital. Volaris uses derivative financial instruments only to mitigate part of these risks and does not engage into derivatives instruments for speculative or negotiation purposes.
The Company has a Risk Management team that identifies and measures the exposure to different financial risks; additionally they design the strategies to mitigate them. Therefore has a Hedge Policy and procedures related to it, in which the strategies are based. All policies, procedures and strategies are approved by different administrative entities based on the Corporate Governance of the Company
The Hedging Policy and processes related thereto are approved by diverse Company’s participants in accordance with the Corporate Governance. The Hedging Policy establishes that derivative financial instruments transactions will be approved and implemented/monitored by various committees, additionally setting minimum liquidity levels, maximum notional, coverage range, markets, counterparties and approved instruments. The fulfillment of the Hedging Policy, and its procedures, are subject to internal and external audits.
The Hedging Policy is conservative regarding approved derivative financial instrument since it only allows instruments that maintain an effective correlation with the primary position to be hedged. It is the Company’s objective to ensure that derivative financial instruments held, at all times, qualify for hedge accounting.
Through the use of derivative financial instruments, Volaris aims to transfer a portion of the market risk to its financial counterparties; some of these are best described as follows:
| 1. | Fuel price variation risk: The fuel suppliers’ contracts make reference to market prices; therefore, it is exposed to an increase in its price. Volaris contacts derivative financial instruments to hedge against fuel prices increases. Volaris engages in derivative financial instruments aiming to hedge against significant increases and/or sudden increases in the fuel price. Such instruments are negotiated in over the counter (“OTC”) market, with approved counterparties and within approved limits by the Hegding Policy. At the date of this report, the Company has Asian swaps and Asian call options, with U.S. Gulf Coast Jet Fuel 54 as underlying asset. Asian instruments provide a more prefect offsetting due that the payoff takes into account the average price of the underlying asset considered in Volaris main fuel supplier. These instruments qualified for hedge accounting and accordingly, their effects are presented as part of fuel cost in the consolidated statements of operations. |
| 2. | Foreign currency risk: The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s operating activities; when revenue or expense is denominated in a different from the Company´s functional (including the amount payable arising from U.S. dollar denominated expenses and U.S. dollar linked expenses and payments). To mitigate this risk, the Hedging Policy allows the Company to use foreign exchange derivative financial instruments. As of the date of this report, the Company does not hold foreign currency related derivative financial instruments. |
| 3. | Interest rate risk: The Company's exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company´s long term debt obligations and flight equipment operating lease agreements with floating interest rates. The Company uses interest rate swaps to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates and accounts for these instruments as an accounting hedge. |

Outstanding derivative financial instruments may require collateral to guarantee a portion of the unsettled loss prior to maturity. The amount of collateral delivered in pledge, is presented as part of non-current assets under the caption guarantee deposits, and the amount of the collateral is reviewed and adjusted on a daily basis based on the fair value of the derivative position.
Markets and eligible counterparties
The Company only operates in over the counter (“OTC”) markets. To manage counterparty risk, the Company negotiates ISDA agreements with counterparties based on credit assessments, limits overall exposure to any single counterparty and monitors the market position with each counterparty. This risk on derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit ratings assigned by international credit rating agencies. As of March 31, 2015, the Company has in place 9 ISDA agreements and operates through 6 of them.
The Company only operates with the financial counterparties, with which it has an ISDA contract. Those contracts have a Credit Support Annex (“CSA”), All of the ISDA agreements have a credit support annex (“CSA”), which where credit conditions are defined, among which credit lines and guidelines for margin calls are stipulated, such as minimum amounts and rounding. The execution of derivative financial instruments is distributed among the different counterparties to limit overall exposure to a single one, pursuing an efficient use of the various CSA thresholds to minimize potential margin calls.
| 2) | Generic description of the valuation techniques, distinguishing instruments that are carried at cost or fair value and the valuation methods and techniques. |
The designation of calculation agents is documented in the ISDA contracts under which Volaris operates. The Company uses the valuations received from its counterparties. These fair values are compared against internally developed valuation techniques that are made using valid and recognized methodologies, through which the fair value of derivative financial instruments is estimated based on market levels and variables of the underlying asset, using Bloomberg as the main source of information.
Based on International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), under which the Company prepares its financial statements, Volaris realizes prospective and retrospective effectiveness tests, as well as hedging records where derivative financial instruments are classified according to the type of underlying asset (updated and monitored constantly). At the date of filing this report, all the Company's financial derivative instruments are considered effective and, therefore, they are classified to be recorded under hedge accounting assumptions.

| 3) | Management discussion on internal and external sources of liquidity that could be used to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments |
The Company only operates with financial counterparties with which it has an ISDA contract. Those contracts have a Credit Support Annex ("CSA"), which set forth credit conditions that stipulate credit lines and guidelines for margin calls, such as minimum amounts and rounding off. Contracting derivative financial instruments is distributed among the different counterparties with the intent to avoid that its exposure falls on a single counterparty, thereby making the use of the financial conditions of the different CSA more efficient. Moreover, the Company has internal recourses to meet the requirements related to derivative financial instruments.
| 4) | Changes in exposure to the major risks identified and the administration thereof, contingencies and known or anticipated events by management that may affect future reports. |
The Company's activities are exposed to various financial risks, such as the fuel price risk, foreign currency risk and interest rate risk. During the first quarter of 2015 no significant changes were identified that can modify exposure to the risks described above, a situation that may change in the future.
| 5) | Quantitative information |
At the date of this report, all the Company’s derivatives financial instruments are treated as hedge accounting, therefore the changes in the fair value of derivative instruments will solely be the result of changes in the levels or prices of the underlying asset and it will not modify the hedging objective for which they were initially celebrated.

In the first quarter, Volaris experienced pressures in US-dollar denominated costs such as aircraft rents, international airport costs, and maintenance expenses due to the exchange rate depreciation of the Mexican peso.
