Gol Linhas (GOL) Q2 Earnings Meet, Revenues Top Estimates
Read MoreHide Full Article
Gol Linhas Aereas Inteligentes S.A.'s earnings (excluding 39 cents from non-recurring items) of 11 cents per share in the second quarter of 2019 matched the Zacks Consensus Estimate. The company reported a loss in the year-ago period. Results were partly affected by 8.8% depreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar and high fuel costs.
Meanwhile, net revenues of $801.1 million (R$3.14 billion) surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $702.4 million and also increased year over year owing to solid demand in the corporate segment and capacity discipline. Passenger revenues accounting for bulk (94.2%) of the top line surged 37.9% on a year-over-year basis.
The revenue beat and its year-over-year rise perhaps pleased investors. Evidently, shares of the company gained more than 4% at the close of business on Aug 1.

The company also maintains the projection for fuel price per liter at R$3.1. The expectations for EBITDA margin and pre-tax margin are also flat at 29% and 12%, respectively. However, earnings per share are now anticipated between $1.2 and $1.5 compared with $1 and $1.3, guided previously.
