Information Required by the SEC Pursuant to SRC Rule 20

PART I - BUSINESS AND GENERAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Business

Cebu Air, Inc. (the Parent Company) is an airline that operates under the trade name “Cebu Pacific Air”

and is the leading low-cost carrier in the Philippines. It pioneered the “low fare, great value” strategy in

the local aviation industry by providing scheduled air travel services targeted to passengers who are

willing to forego extras for fares that are typically lower than those offered by traditional full-service

airlines while offering reliable services and providing passengers with a fun travel experience.

The Parent Company was incorporated on August 26, 1988 and was granted a 40-year legislative

franchise to operate international and domestic air transport services in 1991. It commenced its scheduled

passenger operations in 1996 with its first domestic flight from Manila to Cebu. In 1997, it was granted

the status as an official Philippine carrier to operate international services by the Office of the President of

the Philippines pursuant to Executive Order (EO) No. 219. International operations began in 2001 with

flights from Manila to Hong Kong.

In 2005, the Parent Company adopted the low-cost carrier (LCC) business model. The core element of

the LCC strategy is to offer affordable air services to passengers. This is achieved by having: high-load,

high-frequency flights; high aircraft utilization; a young and simple fleet composition; and low

distribution costs.

The Parent Company’s common stock was listed with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on October

26, 2010, the Group’s initial public offering (IPO).

The Parent Company has ten special purpose entities (SPE) that it controls, namely: Cebu Aircraft

Leasing Limited, IBON Leasing Limited, Boracay Leasing Limited, Surigao Leasing Limited, Sharp

Aircraft Leasing Limited, Vector Aircraft Leasing Limited, Panatag One Aircraft Leasing Limited,

Panatag Two Aircraft Leasing Limited, Panatag Three Aircraft Leasing Limited and Summit A Aircraft

Leasing Limited. On March 20, 2014, the Parent Company acquired 100% ownership of Tiger Airways

Philippines (TAP), including 40% stake in Roar Aviation II Pte. Ltd. (Roar II), a wholly owned

subsidiary of Tiger Airways Holdings Limited (TAH). The Parent Company, its ten SPEs and TAP

(collectively known as “the Group”) are consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

As of December 31, 2014, the Group operates an extensive route network serving 57 domestic routes and

37 international routes with a total of 2,652 scheduled weekly flights. It operates from seven hubs,

including the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 both located in

Pasay City, Metro Manila; Mactan-Cebu International Airport located in Lapu-Lapu City, part of

Metropolitan Cebu; Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) located in Clark, Pampanga;

Davao International Airport located in Davao City, Davao del Sur; Ilo-ilo International Airport located in

Ilo-ilo City, regional center of the western Visayas region; and Kalibo International Airport in Kalibo,

Aklan.

- 2 -

As of December 31, 2014, the Group operates a fleet of 52 aircraft which comprises of ten Airbus A319,

29 Airbus A320, eight ATR 72-500 and five Airbus A330 aircraft. It operates its Airbus aircraft on both

domestic and international routes and operates the ATR 72-500 aircraft on domestic routes, including

destinations with runway limitations. The average aircraft age of the Group’s fleet is approximately 4.41

years as of December 31, 2014.

Aside from passenger service, the Group also provides airport-to-airport cargo services on its domestic

and international routes. In addition, it offers ancillary services such as cancellation and rebooking

options, in-flight merchandising such as sale of duty-free products on international flights, baggage and

travel-related products and services.

The percentage contributions to the Group’s revenues of its principal business activities are as follows:

For the Years Ended December 31

2014 2013 2012

Passenger Services 77.3% 77.2% 78.0%

Cargo Services 6.1% 6.4% 6.3%

Ancillary Services 16.6% 16.4% 15.7%

100.0% 100.0% 100.0%

Aside from the Parent Company’s acquisition of 100% ownership of TAP (see Note 7 of the Notes to

Consolidated Financial Statements) , there are no material reclassifications, merger, consolidation, or

purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business that was made in

the past three years. The Group has not been subjected to any bankruptcy, receivership or similar

proceeding in the said period.

Distribution Methods of Products or Services

The Group has three principal distribution channels: the internet; direct sales through booking sales

offices, call centers and government/corporate client accounts; and third-party sales outlets.

Internet

In January 2006, the Parent Company introduced its internet booking system. Through

www.cebupacificair.com, passengers can book flights and purchase services online. The system also

provides passengers with real time access to the Parent Company’s flight schedules and fare options.

TAP’s flights can be booked through the Cebu Pacific website and its other booking channels starting

March 2014.

As part of the strategic alliance between the Parent Company and TAH, the two carriers entered into an

interline agreement with the first interline flights made available for sale in TAH’s website starting July

2014. Interline services were made available in Cebu Pacific’s website in September 2014. With this,

guests of both airlines now have the ability to cross-book flights on a single itinerary and enjoy seamless

connections with an easy one-stop ticketing for connecting flights and baggage check-in.

Booking Offices and Call Centers

As of December 31, 2014, the Group has a network of eight booking offices located throughout the

Philippines and one booking office located in Hong Kong. It directly operates these booking offices

which also handle customer service issues, such as customer requests for change of itinerary. In addition,

the Group operates two in-house call centers, one in Manila and the other in Cebu. It also uses a third-

party call center outsourcing service to help accommodate heavy call traffic. Its employees who work as

reservation agents are also trained to handle customer service inquiries and to convert inbound calls into

sales. Purchases made through call centers can be settled through various modes, such as credit cards,

payment centers and authorized agents.

Government/Corporate Client Accounts

As of December 31, 2014, the Group has government and corporate accounts for passenger sales. It

provides these accounts with direct access to its reservation system and seat inventory as well as credit

lines and certain incentives. Further, clients may choose to settle their accounts by post-transaction

remittance or by using pre-enrolled credit cards.

Third Party Sales Outlets

As of December 31, 2014, the Group has a network of distributors in the Philippines selling its domestic

and international air services within an agreed territory or geographical coverage. Each distributor

maintains and grows its own client base and can impose on its clients a service or transaction fee.

Typically, a distributor’s client base would include agents, travel agents or end customers. The Group

also has a network of foreign general sales agents, wholesalers, and preferred sales agents who market,

sell and distribute the Group’s air services in other countries.

Publicly Announced New Product or Service

The Group continues to analyze its route network. It can opt to increase frequencies on existing routes or

add new routes/destinations. It can also opt to eliminate unprofitable routes and redeploy capacity.

The Group plans to expand its fleet over the course of the next three years to 56 aircraft by the end of

2017 (net of redelivery of three leased A320 Airbus aircraft and sale of six A319 Airbus aircraft). The

additional aircraft will support the Group’s plans to increase frequency on current routes and to add new

city pairs and destinations. The Group has increased frequencies on domestic routes such as Manila to

Busuanga, Caticlan and Cebu; Cebu to Puerto Princesa, Iloilo, Butuan, Davao, Siargao and Zamboanga;

Zamboanga to Tawi-Tawi and international routes such as Manila to Hanoi, Hong Kong and Taipei. New

domestic and international routes were also launched during the year. The Group launched direct flights

from Davao to Bacolod and also added direct flights from Cebu to Tandag, Surigao del Sur to its growing

inter-island network. It also commenced direct flights from Manila to Tokyo (Narita) and Nagoya,

boosting Philippine visitor arrivals to Japan by over 100% in 2014. After launching its long haul

operations in October 2013 with non-stop flights to Dubai, the Group further expanded its long haul

services in 2014 with direct flights to Sydney, Australia, Dammam and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait

which all utilize the Airbus A330-300 aircraft with a configuration of more than 400 all-economy class

seats. The Group will lease up to six Airbus A330-300 aircraft for its long-haul operations. The Group

currently has five Airbus A330-300, with the one more aircraft due to be delivered in 2015. The Airbus

A330-300 has a range of up to 11 hours which means the Group could serve markets such as Australia,

Middle East, parts of Europe and the US. On November 2014, the Group also introduced GETGO, its

Page 26: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 4 -

newest lifestyle rewards program that gives points to loyal members which can then be used to pay for

airfare and other add-ons through the Group’s website or other booking channels.

Further, the Group has turned into firm orders its existing options for seven Airbus A320 aircraft for

delivery between 2015 and 2016. The Group has also placed a new firm order for 30 Airbus A321NEO

(New Engine Option) aircraft with options for a further ten Airbus A321neos. Airbus A321neos will be a

first of its type to operate in the Philippines, being a larger and longer-haul version of the familiar Airbus

A320. These 220-seater aircraft will have a much longer range which will enable the Group to serve

cities in Australia, India and Northern Japan, places the A320 cannot reach. This order for A321neo

aircraft will be delivered between 2017 and 2021.

The Group has also signed a joint venture agreement with CAE, world leader in aviation training, to

establish an aviation training center for airlines in the Asia Pacific region. The joint venture is known as

the Philippine Academy for Aviation Training, Inc. (PAAT) and is located in Clark Freeport Zone,

northwest of Manila. On January 24, 2012, the Group broke ground in Clark, Pampanga and the facility

was formally inaugurated on December 3, 2012. The new training center will be a world-class, one-stop

training center for the Group and a hub for training services for other airlines. The facility will initially

cater to Airbus A319/320/321 series pilot type-rating training requirements, among others. It will be

initially equipped with two Airbus A320 Full Flight Simulators with the capability to expand by two

additional simulators. Training is also expected to be added for other aviation personnel in the future,

such as cabin crew, dispatch, ground handling personnel and cadets. Each simulator can train/certify

approximately 300-700 pilots per simulator per year.

On March 20, 2014, the Parent Company acquired 100% ownership of TAP, including 40% stake in Roar

II, a wholly owned subsidiary of TAH. Please refer to Note 7 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial

Statements.

Competition

The Philippine aviation authorities deregulated the airline industry in 1995 eliminating certain restrictions

on domestic routes and frequencies which resulted in fewer regulatory barriers to entry into the Philippine

domestic aviation market. On the international market, although the Philippines currently operates under

a bilateral framework, whereby foreign carriers are granted landing rights in the Philippines on the basis

of reciprocity as set forth in the relevant bilateral agreements between the Philippine government and

foreign nations, in March 2011, the Philippine government issued EO 29 which authorizes the Civil

Aeronautics Board (CAB) and the Philippine Air Panels to pursue more aggressively the international

civil aviation liberalization policy to boost the country’s competitiveness as a tourism destination and

investment location.

Currently, the Group faces intense competition on both its domestic and international routes. The level

and intensity of competition varies from route to route based on a number of factors. Principally, it

competes with other airlines that service the routes it flies. However, on certain domestic routes, the

Group also considers alternative modes of transportation, particularly sea and land transport, to be

competitors for its services. Substitutes to its services also include video conferencing and other modes

of communication.

The Group’s competitors in the Philippines are Philippine Airlines (“PAL”), a full-service Philippine flag

carrier; PAL Express (formerly Airphil Express) a low-cost domestic operator that has the same major

shareholders as PAL (but separate management team) and which code shares with PAL on certain

Page 27: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 5 -

domestic routes and leases certain aircraft from PAL; Air Asia Philippines and Air Asia Zest (formerly

Zest Air). Most of the Group’s domestic and international destinations are also serviced by these airlines.

According to CAB data, the Group is the leading domestic airline in the Philippines by passengers

carried, with a market share of 60.8% for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Group further builds

on its leading domestic market share with its acquisition of TAP.

The Group is the leading regional low-cost airline offering services to more destinations and serving more

routes with a higher frequency between the Philippines and other ASEAN countries than any other airline

in the Philippines. The Group currently competes with the following LCC’s and full-service airlines in its

international operations: AirAsia, Jetstar Airways, PAL, Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Thai

Airways, among others.

Raw Materials

Fuel is a major cost component for airlines. The Group’s fuel requirements are classified by location and

sourced from various suppliers.

The Group’s fuel suppliers at its international stations include PTT-Bangkok Aviation, Petronas-Kuala

Lumpur, Shell-Singapore, Shell-Hongkong, Shell-Dubai and SK Corp-Korea, among others. It also

purchases fuel from PTT Philippines and Phoenix Petroleum. The Group purchases fuel stocks on a per

parcel basis, in such quantities as are sufficient to meet its monthly operational requirements. Most of the

Group’s contracts with fuel suppliers are on a yearly basis and may be renewed for subsequent one-year

periods.

Dependence on One or a Few Major Customers and Identify any such Major Customers

The Group’s business is not dependent upon a single customer or a few customers that a loss of anyone of

which would have a material adverse effect on the Group.

Transactions with and/or Dependence on Related Parties

The Group’s significant transactions with related parties are described in detail in Note 27 of the Notes to

Consolidated Financial Statements.

Patents, Trademarks, Licenses, Franchises, Concessions and Royalty Agreements

Trademarks

The Group has registered the “Cebu Pacific” and the Cebu Pacific feather-like device trademarks with the

Philippine Intellectual Property Office (PIPO). In the Philippines, certificates of registration of a

trademark filed with the PIPO prior to the effective date of the Philippine Intellectual Property Code

(PIPC) in 1998 are generally effective for a period of 20 years from the date of the certificate, while those

filed after the PIPC became effective are generally effective for a shorter period of ten years, unless

terminated earlier. The Group has also filed trademark applications for the GETGO logo, its newest

lifestyle rewards program and a logo for the strategic alliance entered into by the Parent Company and

TAH. The approval of both registrations are still pending with the PIPO. The Group also has 26

trademarks registered with the Intellectual Property Office of China. The Group has also registered the

business name “Cebu Pacific Air” with the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). Registering a

business name with the DTI precludes another entity engaged in the same or similar business from using

Page 28: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 6 -

the same business name as one that has been registered. A registration of a business name shall be

effective for five years from the initial date of registration and must be renewed within the first three

months following the expiration of the five-year period from the date of original registration.

Licenses / Permits

The Group operates its business in a highly regulated environment. The Group’s business depends upon

the permits and licenses issued by the government authorities or agencies for its operations which include

the following:

Legislative Franchise to Operate a Public Utility

Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

Letter of Authority

Air Operator Certificate

Certificate of Registration

Certificate of Airworthiness

The Group also has to seek approval from the relevant airport authorities to secure airport slots for its

operations.

Franchise

In 1991, pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 7151, the Parent Company was granted a franchise to operate

air transportation services, both domestic and international. In accordance with the Parent Company’s

franchise, this extends up to year 2031:

a) The Parent Company is subject to franchise tax of five percent of the gross revenue derived from air

transportation operations. For revenue earned from activities other than air transportation, the Parent

Company is subject to regular corporate income tax and to real property tax.

b) In the event that any competing individual, partnership or corporation received and enjoyed tax

privileges and other favorable terms which tended to place the Parent Company at any disadvantage,

then such privileges shall have been deemed by the fact itself of the Parent Company’s tax privileges

and shall operate equally in favor of the Parent Company.

In December 2008, pursuant to Republic Act No. 9517, TAP, the Parent Company’s wholly owned

subsidiary, was granted a franchise to establish, operate and maintain domestic and international air

transport services with Clark Field, Pampanga as its base. This franchise shall be for a term of twenty

five (25) years.

Kindly refer to Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Government Approval of Principal Products or Services

- 7 -

Legislative Franchise to Operate a Public Utility

Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity

Letter of Authority

Air Operator Certificate

Certificate of Registration

Certificate of Airworthiness

The Group also has to seek approval from the relevant airport authorities to secure airport slots for its

operations.

Effects of Existing or Probable Government Regulations on the Business

Civil Aeronautics Administration and CAAP

Policy-making for the Philippine civil aviation industry started with RA 776, known as the Civil

Aeronautics Act of the Philippines (the “Act”), passed in 1952. The Act established the policies and laws

governing the economic and technical regulation of civil aeronautics in the country. It established the

guidelines for the operation of two regulatory organizations, CAB for the regulation of the economic

activities of airline industry participants and the Air Transportation Office, which was later transformed

into the CAAP, created pursuant to RA 9497, otherwise known as the Civil Aviation Authority Act of

2008.

The CAB is authorized to regulate the economic aspects of air transportation, to issue general rules and

regulations to carry out the provisions of RA 776, and to approve or disapprove the conditions of carriage

or tariff which an airline desires to adopt. It has general supervision and regulation over air carriers,

general sales agents, cargo sales agents, and airfreight forwarders, as well as their property, property

rights, equipment, facilities and franchises.

The CAAP, a government agency under the supervision of the Department of Transportation and

Communications for purposes of policy coordination, regulates the technical and operational aspects of

air transportation in the Philippines, ensuring safe, economic and efficient air travel. In particular, it

establishes the rules and regulations for the inspection and registration of all aircraft and facilities owned

and operated in the Philippines, determine the charges and/or rates pertinent to the operation of public air

utility facilities and services, and coordinates with the relevant government agencies in relation to airport

security. Moreover, CAAP is likewise tasked to operate and maintain domestic airports, air navigation

and other similar facilities in compliance with the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the

specialized agency of the United Nations whose mandate is to ensure the safe, efficient and orderly

evolution of international civil aviation.

The Group complies with and adheres to existing government regulations.

Aviation Safety Ranking and Regulations

In early January 2008, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) of the United States (U.S.)

downgraded the aviation safety ranking of the Philippines to Category 2 from the previous Category 1

rating. The FAA assesses the civil aviation authorities of all countries with air carriers that operate to the

U.S. to determine whether or not foreign civil aviation authorities are meeting the safety standards set by

the ICAO. The lower Category 2 rating means a country either lacks laws or regulations necessary to

Page 30: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 8 -

oversee airlines in accordance with minimum international standards, or its civil aviation authority is

deficient in one or more areas, such as technical expertise, trained personnel, record-keeping or inspection

procedures. Further, it means Philippine carriers can continue flying to the U.S. but only under

heightened FAA surveillance or limitations. In addition, the Philippines has been included in the

“Significant Safety Concerns” posting by the ICAO as a result of an unaddressed safety concern

highlighted in the recent ICAO audit. As a result of this unaddressed safety concern, Air Safety

Committee (ASC) of the European Union banned all Philippine commercial air carriers from operating

flights to and from Europe. The ASC based its decision on the absence of sufficient oversight by the

CAAP.

On February 2013, the ICAO has lifted the significant safety concerns on the ability of CAAP to meet

global aviation standards. The ICAO SSC Validation Committee reviewed the corrective actions,

evidence and documents submitted by the Philippines to address the concerns and determined that the

corrective actions taken have successfully addressed and resolved the audit findings.

On April 10, 2014, the ASC of the European Union lifted its ban on Cebu Air, Inc. after its evaluation of

the airline’s capacity and commitment to comply with relevant aviation safety regulations. On the same

date, the US FAA also announced that the Philippines has complied with international safety standards set

by the ICAO and has been granted a Category 1 rating. The upgrade to Category 1 status is based on a

March 2014 FAA review of the CAAP. With this, Philippine air carriers can now add flights and services

to the U.S.

Although the Group does not currently operate flights to the U.S. and Europe, this development opens the

opportunity for the Group to establish new routes to other countries that base their decision on flight

access on the FAA and ASC’s evaluation.

EO 28 and 29

In March 2011, the Philippine government issued EO 28 which provides for the reconstitution and

reorganization of the existing Single Negotiating Panel into the Philippine Air Negotiating Panel (PANP)

and Philippine Air Consultation Panel (PACP) (collectively, the Philippine Air Panels). The PANP shall

be responsible for the initial negotiations leading to the conclusion of the relevant ASAs while the PACP

shall be responsible for the succeeding negotiations of such ASAs or similar arrangements.

Also in March 2011, the Philippine government issued EO 29 which authorizes the CAB and the

Philippine Air Panels to pursue more aggressively the international civil aviation liberalization policy to

boost the country’s competitiveness as a tourism destination and investment location. Among others, EO

29 provides the following:

In the negotiation of the ASAs, the Philippine Air Panels may offer and promote third, fourth and

fifth freedom rights to the country’s airports other than the NAIA without restriction as to frequency,

capacity and type of aircraft, and other arrangements that will serve the national interest as may be

determined by the CAB; and

Notwithstanding the provisions of the relevant ASAs, the CAB may grant any foreign air carriers

increases in frequencies and/or capacities in the country’s airports other than the NAIA, subject to

conditions required by existing laws, rules and regulations. All grants of frequencies and/or capacities

which shall be subject to the approval of the President shall operate as a waiver by the Philippines of

the restrictions on frequencies and capacities under the relevant ASAs.

Page 31: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 9 -

The issuance of the foregoing EOs may significantly increase competition.

Air Passenger Bill of Rights

The Air Passenger Bill of Rights (the “Bill”), which was formed under a joint administrative order of the

Department of Transportation and Communications, the CAB and the Department of Trade and Industry,

was signed and published by the Government on 11 December 2012 and came into effect on 21

December 2012. The Bill sets the guidelines on several airline practices such as overbooking, rebooking,

ticket refunds, cancellations, delayed flights, lost luggage and misleading advertisement on fares.

Republic Act (RA) No. 10378 - Common Carriers Tax Act

RA No. 10378, otherwise known as the Common Carriers Tax Act, was signed into law on

March 7, 2013. This act recognizes the principle of reciprocity as basis for the grant of income tax

exceptions to international carriers and rationalizes other taxes imposed thereon by amending sections

28(A)(3)(a), 109, 108 and 236 of the National Internal Revenue Code, as amended.:

Among the relevant provisions of the act follows:

a.) An international carrier doing business in the Philippines shall pay a tax of two and one-half percent

(2 1/2 %) on its Gross Philippine Billings, provided, that international carriers doing business in the

Philippines may avail of a preferential rate or exemption from the tax herein imposed on their gross

revenue derived from the carriage of persons and their excess baggage on the basis of an applicable

tax treaty or international agreement to which the Philippines is a signatory or on the basis of

reciprocity such that an international carrier, whose home country grants income tax exemption to

Philippine carriers, shall likewise be exempt from the tax imposed under this provision;

b.) International air carriers doing business in the Philippines on their gross receipts derived from

transport of cargo from the Philippines to another country shall pay a tax of three percent (3%) of

their quarterly gross receipts;

c.) VAT exemption on the transport of passengers by international carriers.

While the removal of CCT takes away the primary constraint on foreign carrier’s capacity growth and

places the Philippines on an almost level playing field with that of other countries, this may still be a

positive news for the industry as a whole, as it may drive tourism into the Philippines. With Cebu

Pacific’s dominant network, the Group can benefit from the government’s utmost support for tourism.

Research and Development

The Group incurred minimal amounts for research and development activities, which do not amount to a

significant percentage of revenues.

Cost and Effects of Compliance with Environmental Laws

The operations of the Group are subject to various laws enacted for the protection of the environment.

The Group has complied with the following applicable environmental laws and regulations:

Presidential Decree No. 1586 (Establishing an Environmental Impact Assessment System) which

directs every person, partnership or corporation to obtain an Environmental Compliance Certificate

Page 32: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 10 -

(ECC) before undertaking or operating a project declared as environmentally critical by the President

of the Philippines. Petro-chemical industries, including refineries and fuel depots, are considered

environmentally critical projects for which an ECC is required. The Group has obtained ECCs for the

fuel depots it operates and maintains for the storage and distribution of aviation fuel for its aircraft.

RA 8749 (The Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999) requires

operators of aviation fuel storage tanks, which are considered as a possible source of air pollution, to

obtain a Permit to Operate from the applicable regional office of the Environment Management

Bureau (EMB). The Group’s aviation fuel storage tanks are subject to and are compliant with this

requirement.

RA 9275 (Implementing Rules and Regulations of the Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004) requires

owners or operators of facilities that discharge regulated effluents to secure from the Laguna Lake

Development Authority (LLDA) (Luzon area) and/or the applicable regional office of the EMB

(Visayas and Mindanao areas) a Discharge Permit, which is the legal authorization granted by the

Department of Energy and Natural Resources for the discharge of waste water. The Group’s

operations generate waste water and effluents for the disposal of which a Discharge Permit was

obtained from the LLDA and the EMB of Region 7 which enables it to discharge and dispose of

liquid waste or water effluent generated in the course of its operations at specifically designated areas.

The Group also contracted the services of government-licensed and accredited third parties to

transport, handle and dispose its waste materials.

Compliance with the foregoing laws does not have a material effect to the Group’s capital expenditures,

earnings and competitive position.

On an annual basis, the Group spends approximately P180,000.00 in connection with its compliance with

applicable environmental laws.

Employees

As of December 31, 2014, the Group has 3,683 permanent full time employees, categorized as follows:

Division: Employees

Operations 2,980

Commercial 388

Support Departments(1)

315

3,683

Note: (1)

Support Departments include the Office of the General Manager, Corporate Finance and Legal Affairs

Department, People Department, Administrative Services Department, Procurement Department, Information

Systems Department, Comptroller Department, Internal Audit Department and Treasury Department.

The Group anticipates having approximately 4,123 employees by the end of 2015. The increase in

number of employees is related to the Group’s continuous expansion.

The Group’s employees are not unionized, and it has not experienced any labor strikes or work stoppages

in the past three years.

- 11 -

Risk

The major business risks facing the Group are as follows:

(1) Cost and Availability of Fuel

The cost and availability of fuel are subject to many economic and political factors and events occurring

throughout the world, the most important of which are not within the Group’s control. Fuel prices have

been subject to high volatility, fluctuating substantially over the past several years. Any increase in the

cost of fuel or any decline in the availability of adequate supplies of fuel could have a material adverse

effect on the Group’s operations and profitability.

The Group implements various fuel management strategies to manage the risk of rising fuel prices

including hedging.

(2) Competition

The Group faces intense competition on its domestic and international routes, both from other low-cost

carriers and from full-service carriers. Its existing competitors or new entrants into the market may

undercut its fares in the future, increase capacity on their routes or attempt to conduct low-fare or low-

cost airline operations of their own in an effort to increase market share, any of which could negatively

affect the Group’s business. The Group also faces competition from ground and sea transportation

alternatives, including buses, trains, ferries, boats and cars, which are the principal means of

transportation in the Philippines. Video teleconferencing and other methods of electronic communication,

and improvements therein, also add a new dimension of competition to the industry as they, to a certain

extent, provide lower-cost substitutes for air travel.

The Group focuses on areas of costs, on-time performance, service delivery and scheduling to remain

competitive.

(3) Economic Downturn

The deterioration in the financial markets has heralded a recession in many countries, which led to

significant declines in employment, household wealth, consumer demand and lending and, as a result, has

adversely affected economic growth in the Philippines and elsewhere. Since a substantial portion of

airline travel, for both business and leisure, is discretionary, the airline industry tends to experience

adverse financial results during general economic downturns. Any deterioration in the economy could

negatively affect consumer sentiment and lead to a reduction in demand for flying which could adversely

affect the Group’s business. The Group could also experience difficulty accessing the financial markets,

which could make it more difficult or expensive to obtain funding in the future.

(4) Availability of Debt Financing

The Group’s business is highly capital intensive. It has historically required debt financing to acquire

aircraft and expects to incur significant amounts of debt in the future to fund the acquisition of additional

aircraft, its operations, other anticipated capital expenditures, working capital requirements and expansion

overseas. Failure to obtain additional financing could adversely affect the Group’s ability to grow its

business and its future profitability.

Page 34: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 12 -

(5) Foreign Exchange and Interest Rate Fluctuations

The Group’s exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations is principally in respect of its U.S. dollar-

denominated long-term debt as well as a majority of its operating costs, such as U.S. dollar-denominated

purchases of aviation fuel. On the other hand, the Group’s exposure to interest rate fluctuations is relative

to debts incurred which have floating interest rates. In such cases, any significant devaluation of the

Philippine peso and any significant increases in interest rates will result to increased obligations that

could adversely impact the Group’s result of operations.

The Group may enter into derivative contracts in the future to hedge foreign exchange exposure. In

addition, the Group may fix the interest rates for a portion of its loans.

(6) Airport and Air Traffic Control Infrastructure Constraints

The Group relies on operational efficiency to reduce unit costs and provide reliable service. Any delay to

the addition of capacity at airports or upgrade of facilities in the Philippines could affect the Group’s

operational efficiency.

(7) Reliance on Third Party Facilities and Service Providers

The Group’s inability to lease, acquire or access airport facilities and service providers on reasonable

terms to support its growth or to maintain its current operations would have a material adverse effect on

our business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Furthermore, the Group’s reliance

on third parties to provide essential services on its behalf gives the Group less control over the efficiency,

timeliness and quality of services.

(8) Safety and Security

The Group is exposed to potentially significant losses in the event that any of its aircraft is lost or subject

to an accident, terrorist incident or other disaster. In addition, any such event would give rise to

significant costs related to passenger claims, repairs or replacement of a damaged aircraft and its

temporary or permanent loss from service. Moreover, aircraft accidents or incidents, even if fully

insured, are likely to create a public perception that the airline is less safe than other airlines, which could

significantly reduce its passenger volumes and have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects,

financial condition and results of operations. Terrorist attacks could also result in decreased seat load

factors and yields and could result in increased costs, such as increased fuel expenses or insurance costs.

The Group is committed to operational safety and security. Its commitment to safety and security is

reflected in its rigorous aircraft maintenance program and flight operations manuals, intensive flight crew,

cabin crew and employee training programs and strict compliance with applicable regulations regarding

aircraft and operational safety and security.

(9) Maintenance Cost and Performance of Maintenance Repair Organizations

As the fleet ages, maintenance and overhaul expenses will increase. Any significant increase in

maintenance and overhaul expenses and the inability of maintenance repair organizations to provide

satisfactory service could adversely affect the business.

The Group enters into long term contracts to manage maintenance and overhaul expenses.

Page 35: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 13 -

(10) Reliance on Automated Systems and the Internet

The Group depends on automated systems to operate its business, including, among others, its website, its

reservation and its departure control systems. Any disruption to its website or online reservation and

telecommunication services could result in losses, increased expenses and could harm its reputation.

(11) Dependence on the Efforts of Executive Officers and Other Key Management

The Group’s success depends to a significant extent upon the continued services of its executive officers

and other key management personnel. The unavailability of any of its executive officers and other key

management or failure to recruit suitable or comparable replacements could have a material adverse effect

on its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

(12) Retaining and Attracting Qualified Personnel

The Group’s business model requires it to have highly skilled, dedicated and efficient pilots, engineers

and other personnel. Its growth plans will require the Group to hire, train and retain a significant number

of new employees in the future. However, from time to time, the airline industry has experienced a

shortage of skilled personnel, particularly pilots and engineers. The Group competes against full-service

airlines which offer wage and benefit packages that exceed those offered by the Group. The inability of

the Group to hire, train and retain qualified employees at a reasonable cost could result in inability to

execute its growth strategy, which would have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects,

financial condition and results of operations. In addition, the Group may find it increasingly challenging

to maintain its corporate culture as it replaces or hires additional personnel.

The Group may have to increase wages and benefits to attract and retain qualified personnel.

(13) Availability of Insurance

Insurance is fundamental to airline operations. Because of terrorist attacks or other world events, certain

aviation insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage that are

insufficient to comply with the levels of coverage required by the Group’s aircraft lenders and lessors or

applicable government regulations. Any inability to obtain insurance, on commercially acceptable terms

or at all, for the Group’s general operations or specific assets would have a material adverse effect on its

business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

(14) Regulations

The Group has no control over applicable regulations. Changes in the interpretation of current regulations

or the introduction of new laws or regulations could have a material adverse effect on its business,

prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

(15) Catastrophes and Other Factors Beyond the Group’s Control

Like other airlines, the Group is subject to delays caused by factors beyond its control, including weather

conditions, traffic congestion at airports, air traffic control problems and increased security measures. In

the event that the Group delays or cancels flights for any of these reasons, revenues and profits would be

reduced and the Group’s reputation would suffer which could result in a loss of customers.

Page 36: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 14 -

(16) Unionization, Work Stoppages, Slowdowns and Increased Labor Costs

At present, the Group has a non-unionized workforce. However, in the event the employees unionize, it

could result to demands that may increase operating expenses and adversely affect the Group’s

profitability. Likewise, disagreements between the labor union and management could result to work

slowdowns or stoppages or disruptions which could be harmful to the business.

(17) Restrictions under the Philippine Constitution and other Laws

The Group is subject to nationality restrictions under the Philippine Constitution and other laws, limiting

ownership of public utility companies to citizens of the Philippines or corporations or associations

organized under the laws of the Philippines of which at least 60% of the capital stock outstanding is

owned and held by citizens of the Philippines. There is a risk that these ownership restrictions may be

breached which could result in the revocation of the Group’s franchise generally and its rights to fly on

certain international routes.

(18) Relationship with Third Party Sales Outlets

While part of the Group’s strategy is to increase bookings through the internet, sales through third party

sales outlets remain an important distribution channel. There is no assurance that the Group will be able

to maintain favorable relationships with them nor be able to suitably replace them. The Group’s revenues

could be adversely impacted if third parties who sell its air services elect to prioritize other airlines.

(19) Outbreaks

Any present or future outbreak of contagious diseases could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s

business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations.

(20) Domestic Concentration

Since the Group’s operations have focused and, at least in the near term, will continue to focus on air

travel in the Philippines, it would be materially and adversely affected by any circumstances causing a

reduction in demand for air transportation in the Philippines, including adverse changes in local economic

and political conditions, negative travel advisories issued by foreign governments, declining interest in

the Philippines as a tourist destination, or significant price increases linked to increases in airport access

costs and fees imposed on passengers.

(21) Investment Risk

The Group has investment securities, the values of which are dependent on fluctuating market prices.

Any negative movement in the market price of the Group’s investments could affect the Group’s results

of operations.

(22) Information technology (IT) Risk

The Group’s business processes are widely supported by IT. The use of IT involves risks for the stability

of business processes and for the availability, confidentiality and integrity of data and information. Such

risks may be in the form of cyberattacks, disruptions to the availability of applications, security breaches

Page 37: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 15 -

and other similar incidents. The Group implements information security measures and regularly reviews

its data protection systems in order to minimize these risks.

The foregoing risks are not all inclusive. Other risks that may affect the Group’s business and operations

may not be included in the above disclosure.

Item 2. Properties

As of December 31, 2014, the Group does not own any land. It however owns an office building that

serves as its corporate headquarters and training center located at the Domestic Road, Barangay 191,

Zone 20, Pasay City. The land on which said office building stands is leased from the Manila

International Airport Authority (MIAA). The Group also leases its hangar, aircraft parking and other

operational space from MIAA. Kindly refer to Notes 13, 18 and 30 of the Notes to Consolidated

Financial Statements for the detailed discussions on Properties, Leases, Purchases and Capital

Expenditure Commitments.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings

The Group is subject to law suits and legal actions in the ordinary course of business. The Group is not a

party to, and its properties are not subject of, any material pending legal proceedings that could be

expected to have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial position or result of operations.

Item 5. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial

statements and notes thereto, which form part of this Report. The consolidated financial statements and

notes thereto have been prepared in accordance with the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards

(PFRS).

Results of Operations

Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2013

Revenues

The Group generated revenues of P52.000 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014, 26.8% higher

than the P=41.004 billion revenues earned last year. Growth in revenues is accounted for as follows:

Passenger Revenues

Passenger revenues grew by P8.525 billion or 26.9% to P40.188 billion for the year ended December 31,

2014 from P31.663 billion registered in 2013. This increase was primarily due to the 17.5% growth in

passenger volume to 16.9 million from 14.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 driven by the

increased number of flights in 2014. Number of flights went up by 6.9% year on year as the Group added

more aircraft to its fleet, particularly, its acquisition of wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft with a

configuration of more than 400 all-economy class seats. The number of aircraft increased from 48 aircraft

as of December 31, 2013 to 52 aircraft as of December 31, 2014, which includes 3 brand new Airbus

A330 aircraft delivered this year. Increase in average fares by 8.0% to P2,382 in 2014 from P2,206 in

2013 also contributed to the improvement of revenues.

Cargo Revenues

Cargo revenues grew by P536.638 million or 20.6% to P3.146 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2014 from P2.609 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013 following the increase in

the volume of cargo transported in 2014.

Ancillary Revenues

Ancillary revenues went up by P1.934 billion or 28.7% to P8.665 billion for the year ended December 31,

2014 from P6.732 billion posted last year consequent to the 17.5% increase in passenger traffic and 9.5%

increase in ancillary revenue per passenger. The Group began unbundling ancillary products and services

in 2011 and significant improvements in ancillary revenues were noted since then. Improved online

bookings, together with a wider range of ancillary revenue products and services, also contributed to the

increase.

Expenses

The Group incurred operating expenses of P47.843 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014, 23.9%

higher than the P38.600 billion operating expenses recorded for the year ended

December 31, 2013 as a result of its expanded long haul operations and overall growth in seat capacity

from the acquisition of new aircraft. The weakening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar as

referenced by the depreciation of the Philippine peso to an average of P44.40 per U.S. dollar for the year

ended December 31, 2014 from an average of P42.46 per U.S. dollar last year based on the Philippine

Dealing and Exchange Corporation (PDEx) weighted average rates contributed to said increase.

Operating expenses also went up as a result of the following:

Flying Operations

Flying operations expenses moved up by P4.432 billion or 20.4% to P26.152 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2014 from P21.721 billion charged in 2013. Aviation fuel expenses grew by 18.9% to

P23.210 billion from P19.523 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013 consequent to the higher

volume of fuel consumed as a result of the increased number of flights year on year and increased block

hours from the launch of long haul flights to Dubai in October 2013, to Kuwait and Sydney in September

2014 and to Riyadh and Dammam in October 2014. The weakening of the Philippine peso against the

U.S. dollar as referenced by the depreciation of the Philippine peso to an average of P44.40 per U.S.

dollar for the year ended December 31, 2014 from an average of P42.46 per U.S. dollar last year based on

the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation (PDEx) weighted average rates also contributed to the

increase. Rise in aviation fuel expenses, however, was partially offset by the reduction in aviation fuel

prices as referenced by the decrease in the average published fuel MOPS price of U.S. $112.48 per barrel

in the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 from U.S. $122.97 average per barrel in the same period

last year.

Aircraft and Traffic Servicing

Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses increased by P1.202 billion or 33.4% to P4.805 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2014 from P3.603 billion registered in 2013 as a result of the overall increase in the

number of flights flown in 2014. Higher expenses were particularly attributable to more international

flights operated for which airport and ground handling charges were generally higher compared to

domestic flights. International flights increased by 7.6% year on year which is attributable to the

expansion of long haul operations to Kuwait, Sydney, Riyadh and Dammam in 2014 as well as new short

haul flights to Tokyo (Narita) and Nagoya which commenced on March 2014. The effect of the

depreciation of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar at P44.40 per U.S. dollar for the year ended

December 31, 2014 from an average of P42.46 per U.S. dollar last year also contributed to the increase

international airport charges.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses grew by P826.884 million or 23.9% to P4.282 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2014 from P3.455 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013. Depreciation and

amortization expenses increased consequent to the arrival of five Airbus A320 aircraft during the year.

Repairs and Maintenance

Repairs and maintenance expenses went up by P606.455 million or 15.9% to P4.432 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2014 from P3.826 billion posted last year. Increase was driven by the overall

increase in the number of flights coupled with the weakening of the Philippine peso against the U.S.

dollar as referenced by the depreciation of the Philippine peso to an average of P44.40 per U.S. dollar for

the year ended December 31, 2014 from an average of P42.46 per U.S. dollar in 2013. The acquisition of

five Airbus A320 aircraft and the delivery of three Airbus A330 aircraft in 2014 also contributed to the

increase in repairs and maintenance expenses.

Aircraft and Engine Lease

Aircraft and engine lease expenses moved up by P1.189 billion or 51.3% to P3.503 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2014 from P2.315 billion charged for the year ended December 31, 2013. Increase in

aircraft lease was due to the delivery of three Airbus A330 aircraft under operating lease in 2014 coupled

with the effect of the depreciation of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar during the current period.

Reservation and Sales

Reservation and sales expenses increased by P491.525 million or 29.6% to P2.154 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2014 from P1.662 billion registered last year. This was mainly due to the increase in

commission expenses and online bookings relative to the overall growth in passenger volume year on

year.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses grew by P184.872 million or 16.6% to P1.297 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2014 from P1.112 billion incurred in 2013. Growth in general and administrative

expenses was primarily attributable to the increased flight and passenger activity in 2014.

Passenger Service

Passenger service expenses went up by P310.683 million or 34.3% to P1.217 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2014 from P906.058 million posted for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was

primarily caused by additional cabin crew hired for the Airbus A320 and A330 aircraft delivered in 2014

and the increase in passenger food and supplies from pre-ordered meals being offered in international

flights. The weakening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar in 2014 also contributed to the

increase.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, the Group finished with an operating income of P4.157 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2014, a 72.9% improvement compared to the P2.404 billion operating income

earned last year.

Other Income (Expenses)

Interest Income

Interest income dropped by P139.692 million or 63.6% to P79.927 million for the year ended December

31, 2014 from P219.619 million recorded in 2013 due to the decrease in the balance of cash in bank and

short-term placements year on year and lower interest rates.

Hedging Gains (Losses)

The Group incurred a hedging loss of P2.314 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to a

hedging gain of P290.325 million in the same period last year mainly due to losses on fuel hedging

positions consequent to the decrease in fuel prices in 2014 partially offset by foreign exchange hedging

gains.

Foreign Exchange Losses

Net foreign exchange losses of P127.471 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 resulted from the

weakening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar as referenced by the slight depreciation of the

Philippine peso to P44.72 per U.S. dollar for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 from P44.40

per U.S. dollar for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013. The Group’s major exposure to foreign

exchange rate fluctuations is in respect of U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt incurred in connection

with aircraft acquisitions.

Equity in Net Income of Joint Venture

The Group had equity in net income of joint venture of P96.326 million for the year ended December 31,

2014, P23.034 million or 19.3% lower than the P119.360 million equity in net income of joint venture

earned last year. The decrease was primarily due to the net loss from current operations incurred by SIA

Engineering (Philippines) Corporation (SIAEP) in 2014.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by P147.740 million or 17.1% to P1.013 billion for the year ended December

31, 2014 from P865.501 million registered in 2013. Higher interest expense incurred during the year was

due to the additional loans availed to finance the acquisition of five Airbus A320 aircraft in 2014 and by

the effect of the weakening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar during the current period.

Income before Income Tax

As a result of the foregoing, the Group recorded income before income tax of P878.636 million for the

year ended December 31, 2014, a growth of 735.1% or P773.428 million higher than the P105.208

million income before income tax posted for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Provision for Income Tax

Provision for income tax for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to P25.138 million, of which,

P61.320 million pertains to current income tax recognized as a result of the taxable income in 2014. This

was offset by the benefit from deferred income tax of P36.182 million resulting from the recognition of

deferred tax assets on future deductible amounts during the period.

Net Income

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2014 amounted to P853.498 million, an increase of 66.7%

from the P511.946 million net income earned in 2013.

Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2012

Revenues

The Group generated revenues of P41.004 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013, 8.2% higher

than the P=37.904 billion revenues earned last year. Growth in revenues is accounted for as follows:

Passenger Revenues

Passenger revenues increased by P2.083 billion or 7.0% to P31.663 billion for the year ended December

31, 2013 from P29.579 billion registered in 2012. This increase was primarily due to the 8.3% growth in

passenger volume to 14.4 million from 13.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 driven by the

increased number of flights in 2013. Number of flights went up by 6.0% year on year primarily as a

result of the increase in the number of aircraft operated to 48 aircraft as of December 31, 2013 from 41

aircraft as of end 2012. Increase in revenues, however, was partially offset by the reduction in average

fares by 1.1% to P2,206 from P2,232 in 2012.

Cargo Revenues

Cargo revenues grew by P228.506 million or 9.6% to P2.609 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2013 from P2.381 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012 following the increase in

the volume and average freight charges of cargo transported in 2013.

Ancillary Revenues

Ancillary revenues went up by P787.672 million or 13.3% to P6.732 billion for the year ended December

31, 2013 from P5.944 billion posted last year. The Group began unbundling ancillary products and

services in 2011 and significant improvements in ancillary revenues were noted since then. Improved

online bookings also contributed to the increase. Online bookings accounted for 57.4% of the total tickets

sold during the year compared to 51.0% in 2012.

Expenses

The Group incurred operating expenses of P38.600 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013, 9.5%

higher than the P35.241 billion operating expenses recorded for the year ended

December 31, 2012. The slight weakening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar as referenced by

the depreciation of the Philippine peso to an average of P42.46 per U.S. dollar for the year ended

December 31, 2013 from an average of P42.22 per U.S. dollar last year based on the Philippine Dealing

and Exchange Corporation (PDEx) weighted average rates contributed to said increase. Operating

expenses also increased as a result of the following:

Flying Operations

Flying operations expenses moved up by P1.704 billion or 8.5% to P21.721 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2013 from P20.017 billion charged in 2012. Aviation fuel expenses grew by 11.2% to

P19.523 billion from P17.562 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012 consequent to the increase in

the volume of fuel consumed as a result of the increased number of flights year on year. Rise in aviation

fuel expenses, however, was partially offset by the reduction in aviation fuel prices as referenced by the

decrease in the average published fuel MOPS price of U.S. $122.97 per barrel in the twelve months ended

December 31, 2013 from U.S. $126.83 average per barrel in the same period last year. Increase in flying

operations expenses was also offset by decreased flight deck expenses mainly from lower pilot training

costs with the establishment of PAAT last December 2012.

Aircraft and Traffic Servicing

Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses increased by P169.795 million or 4.9% to P3.603 billion for the

year ended December 31, 2013 from P3.433 billion registered in 2012 as a result of the overall increase in

the number of flights flown in 2013. Higher expenses were particularly attributable to more international

flights operated for which airport and ground handling charges were generally higher compared to

domestic flights. International flights increased by 6.7% year on year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses grew by P686.777 million or 24.8% to P3.455 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2013 from P2.768 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012. Depreciation and

amortization expenses increased consequent to the arrival of five Airbus A320 aircraft during the year.

Repairs and Maintenance

Repairs and maintenance expenses went up by P364.286 million or 10.5% to P3.826 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2013 from P3.462 billion posted last year. Increase was driven by the overall

increase in the number of flights coupled with the slight weakening of the Philippine peso against the U.S.

the year ended December 31, 2013 from an average of P42.22 per U.S. dollar in 2012. The acquisition of

five Airbus A320 aircraft and two Airbus A330 aircraft in 2013 also contributed to the increase in repairs

and maintenance expenses.

Aircraft and Engine Lease

Aircraft and engine lease expenses moved up by P280.905 million or 13.8% to P2.315 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2013 from P2.034 billion charged for the year ended

December 31, 2012. Increase in aircraft and engine lease expenses was due to the lease of two Airbus

A330 aircraft in 2013 and by the effect of the slight depreciation of the Philippine peso against the U.S.

dollar during the current period.

Reservation and Sales

Reservation and sales expenses increased by P36.147 million or 2.2% to P1.662 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2013 from P1.626 billion registered last year. This was mainly due to the increase in

commission expenses and online bookings relative to the overall growth in passenger volume year on

year.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses grew by P36.576 million or 3.4% to P1.112 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2013 from P1.075 billion incurred in 2012. Growth in general and administrative

expenses was primarily attributable to the increased flight and passenger activity in 2013.

Passenger Service

Passenger service expenses went up by P80.577 million or 9.8% to P906.058 million for the year ended

December 31, 2013 from P825.480 million posted for the year ended December 31, 2012. Additional

cabin crew hired for the five Airbus A320 and two A330 aircraft acquired during 2013 mainly caused the

increase. Increase in expenses was partially offset by lower premiums for passenger liability insurance.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, the Group finished with an operating income of P2.404 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2013, 9.7% lower than the P2.663 billion operating income earned last year.

Other Income (Expenses)

Interest Income

Interest income dropped by P196.151 million or 47.2% to P219.619 million for the year ended December

31, 2013 from P415.771 million recorded in 2012 due to the decrease in the balance of cash in bank and

short-term placements year on year and lower interest rates.

Hedging Gains (Losses)

Fuel hedging gains for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to P290.325 million from

P258.544 million earned in the same period last year as a result of higher mark-to-market valuation on

fuel hedging positions consequent to the increase in fuel prices by end of 2013.

Foreign Exchange Losses

Net foreign exchange losses of P2.063 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013 resulted from the

weakening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar as referenced by the depreciation of the

Philippine peso to P44.40 per U.S. dollar for the twelve months ended December 31, 2013 from P41.05

per U.S. dollar for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012. The Group’s major exposure to foreign

exchange rate fluctuations is in respect of U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt incurred in connection

with aircraft acquisitions.

Equity in Net Income of Joint Venture

The Group had equity in net income of joint venture of P119.360 million for the year ended December 31,

2013, P64.976 million or 119.5% higher than the P54.384 million equity in net income of joint venture

earned last year. Increase in this account was due to the increase in net income from the current

operations of Aviation Partnership (Philippines) Corporation (A-plus) and SIA Engineering (Philippines)

Corporation (SIAEP) in 2013. The Group also recognized its share in the net income from current

operations of PAAT in 2013.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by P132.910 million or 18.1% to P865.501 million for the year ended

December 31, 2013 from P732.592 million registered in 2012. Increase was due to higher interest

expense incurred brought by the additional loans availed to finance the acquisition of five Airbus A320

aircraft in 2013 and by the effect of the slight depreciation of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar

during the current period.

Income before Income Tax

As a result of the foregoing, the Group recorded income before income tax of P105.208 million for the

year ended December 31, 2013, lower by 97.3% or P3.765 billion than the P3.870 billion income before

income tax posted for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Benefit from Income Tax

Benefit from income tax for the year ended December 31, 2013 amounted to P406.739 million, of which,

P45.519 million pertains to current income tax recognized as a result of the taxable income in 2013.

Benefit from deferred income tax amounted to P452.257 million resulting from the recognition of

deferred tax assets on future deductible amounts during the period.

Net Income

Net income for the year ended December 31, 2013 amounted to P511.946 million, a decline of 85.7%

from the P3.572 billion net income earned in 2012.

Year Ended December 31, 2012 Compared with Year Ended December 31, 2011

Revenues

The Group generated revenues of P37.904 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012, 11.7% higher

than the P33.935 billion revenues earned last year. Growth in revenues is accounted for as follows:

Passenger Revenues

Passenger revenues increased by P2.371 billion or 8.7% to P29.579 billion for the year ended December

31, 2012 from P27.208 billion registered in 2011. This increase was primarily due to the 11.1% growth

in passenger volume to 13.3 million from 11.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 driven by

the increased number of flights and higher seat load factor of 82.7% in 2012. Number of flights went up

by 12.5% year on year primarily as a result of the increase in the number of aircraft operated to 41 aircraft

as of December 31, 2012 from 37 aircraft as of end 2011. The reinstatement of fuel surcharge also

contributed to improved passenger revenues in 2012. Increase in revenues, however, was partially offset

by the reduction in average fares by 2.1% to P2,232 from P2,280 in 2011, partly due to elimination of free

baggage allowance from the fare as part of the Group’s unbundling of fares strategy.

Cargo Revenues

Cargo revenues grew by P187.655 million or 8.6% to P2.381 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2012 from P2.193 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011 following the increase in

the volume and average freight charges of cargo transported in 2012.

Ancillary Revenues

Ancillary revenues went up by P1.410 billion or 31.1% to P5.944 billion for the year ended December 31,

2012 from P4.534 billion posted last year. As part of its unbundling of fares strategy, the Group

commenced charging for every checked-in luggage with the elimination of free baggage allowance.

Improved online bookings also contributed to the increase. Online bookings accounted for 51.0% of the

total tickets sold during the year compared to 48.6% in 2011.

Expenses

The Group incurred operating expenses of P35.241 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2012, 15.2% higher than the P30.599 billion operating expenses recorded for the year

ended December 31, 2011. Increase in expenses due to seat growth was partially offset by the

strengthening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar as referenced by the appreciation of the

Philippine peso to an average of P42.22 per U.S. dollar for the year ended

December 31, 2012 from an average of P43.31 per U.S. dollar last year based on the Philippine Dealing

and Exchange Corporation (PDEx) weighted average rates. Operating expenses increased as a result of

the following:

Flying Operations

Flying operations expenses moved up by P2.667 billion or 15.4% to P20.017 billion for the year ended

December 31, 2012 from P17.350 billion charged in 2011. Aviation fuel expenses grew by 15.4% to

P17.562 billion from P15.221 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011 consequent to the increase in

the volume of fuel consumed as a result of the increased number of flights year on year. Rise in aviation

fuel expenses was further influenced by the surge in aviation fuel prices as referenced by the increase in

the average published fuel MOPS price of U.S.$126.83 per barrel in the twelve months ended December

31, 2012 from U.S.$125.50 average per barrel in the same period last year. Higher flight deck expenses

owing to higher pilot costs, including training, also contributed to the increase in flying operations

expenses.

Aircraft and Traffic Servicing

Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses increased by P441.734 million or 14.8% to P3.433 billion for the

year ended December 31, 2012 from P2.991 billion registered in 2011 as a result of the overall increase in

the number of flights flown in 2012. Higher expenses were particularly attributable to more international

flights operated for which airport and ground handling charges were generally higher compared to

domestic flights. International flights increased by 12.0% year on year.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses grew by P452.9 million or 19.6% to P2.768 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2012 from P2.315 billion for the year ended December 31, 2011. Depreciation and

amortization expenses increased consequent to the arrival of two Airbus A320 aircraft during the last

quarter of 2011 and four Airbus A320 aircraft in 2012.

Repairs and Maintenance

Repairs and maintenance expenses went up by P434.197 million or 14.3% to P3.462 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2012 from P3.027 billion posted last year. Increase was driven by the overall

Page 47: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 25 -

increase in the number of flights which was offset in part by the appreciation of the Philippine peso

against the U.S. dollar as referenced by the strengthening of the Philippine peso to an average of P42.22

per U.S. dollar for the twelve month ended December 31, 2012 from an average of P43.31 per U.S. dollar

in 2011.

Aircraft and Engine Lease

Aircraft and engine lease expenses moved up by P315.522 million or 18.4% to P2.034 billion in the year

ended December 31, 2012 from P1.718 billion charged for the year ended

December 31, 2011. Increase in aircraft and engine lease expenses was due to the lease of two Airbus

A320 aircraft and three ATR 72-550 engine during the last quarter of 2011 and four Airbus A320 aircraft

in 2012. Increase was partially reduced by the return of two leased Airbus A320 aircraft in June 2012 and

the effect of the appreciation of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar during the current period.

Reservation and Sales

Reservation and sales expenses increased by P145.677 million or 9.8% to P1.626 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2012 from P1.481 billion registered last year. This was mainly due to the increase in

commission expenses and online bookings relative to the overall growth in passenger volume year on

year.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses grew by P116.077 million or 12.1% to P1.075 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2012 from P959.293 million incurred in 2011. Growth in general and administrative

expenses was primarily attributable to the increased flight and passenger activity in 2012.

Passenger Service

Passenger service expenses went up by P68.695 million or 9.1% to P825.480 million for the year ended

December 31, 2012 from P756.786 million posted for the year ended December 31, 2011 consequent to

the additional cabin crew hired. Increased passenger liability insurance premiums relative to the increase

in the number of aircraft also contributed to the increase.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, the Group finished with an operating income of P2.663 billion for the year

ended December 31, 2012, 20.2% lower than the P3.336 billion operating income earned last year.

Other Income (Expenses)

Interest Income

Interest income dropped by P231.627 million or 35.8% to P415.771 million for the year ended December

31, 2012 from P647.398 million recorded in 2011 consequent to the sale of the Group’s quoted debt

of the Philippine peso against the U.S.dollar during the current period.

*SGVFS011188*

Statement of ComplianceThe consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in compliance withPhilippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). The Group has adopted the new and revisedaccounting standards, which became effective beginning January 1, 2014, in the accompanyingfinancial statements.

On March 20, 2014, the Group finalized its acquisition of TAP. The acquisition was accountedfor as a business combination (Note 7). Accordingly, the Group finalized the purchase priceallocation.

Basis of ConsolidationThe consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 represent theconsolidated financial statements of the Parent Company, the SPEs that it controls and its whollyowned subsidiary TAP. Consolidation of TAP started on March 20, 2014 when the Group gainedcontrol (Note 7).

Control is achieved when the Parent Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns fromits involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power overthe investee. Specifically, the Parent Company controls an investee if, and only if, the ParentCompany has:

· power over the investee (that is, existing rights that give it the current ability to direct therelevant activities of the investee);

· exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and· the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns

When the Parent Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee,the Parent Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it haspower over an investee, including:

· the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;· rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and· the Parent Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Parent Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstancesindicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of asubsidiary begins when the Parent Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases whenthe Parent Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of thea subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement ofcomprehensive income from the date the Parent Company gains control until the date the ParentCompany ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to theequity holders of the Parent Company of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even ifthis results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. The financial statements ofthe subsidiaries are prepared for the same balance sheet date as the Parent Company, usingconsistent accounting policies. All intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses andcash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation.

*SGVFS011188*

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as anequity transaction. If the Parent Company loses control over a subsidiary, it:

· Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;· Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;· Derecognizes the cumulative translation adjustments recorded in equity;· Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;· Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;· Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and· Reclassifies the Parent Company’s share of components previously recognized in OCI to

profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Parent Companyhad directly disposed of the related assets and liabilities.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for liketransactions and other events in similar circumstances. All significant intercompany transactionsand balances, including intercompany profits and unrealized profits and losses, are eliminated inthe consolidation.

3. Changes in Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except forthe adoption of new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations from InternationalFinancial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) that are discussed below. Except asotherwise indicated, the adoption of the new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations didnot have any effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

· Investment Entities (Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, PFRS 12,Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, and PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements)These amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities thatmeet the definition of an investment entity under PFRS 10. The exception to consolidationrequires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. Theamendments must be applied retrospectively, subject to certain transition relief. Theamendments have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

· PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and FinancialLiabilitiesThese amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off’and the criteria for non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to qualify foroffsetting and are applied retrospectively. The amendments affect disclosure only and have noimpact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

· PAS 36, Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets(Amendments)These amendments remove the unintended consequences of PFRS 13 on the disclosuresrequired under PAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the recoverableamounts for the assets or cash-generating units (CGUs) for which impairment loss has beenrecognized or reversed during the period. The amendments affect disclosures only and had noimpact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

*SGVFS011188*

· PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Novation of Derivatives andContinuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments)These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of aderivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. The amendments have nofinancial impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 21, LeviesIFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggerspayment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered uponreaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should beanticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. This interpretation has noimpact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle)In the 2010 - 2012 annual improvements cycle, seven amendments to six standards were issued,which included an amendment to PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. The amendment toPFRS 13 is effective immediately and it clarifies that short-term receivables and payables with nostated interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting isimmaterial. This amendment has no impact on the Group.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle)In the 2011 - 2013 annual improvements cycle, four amendments to four standards were issued,which included an amendment to PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Philippine Financial ReportingStandards-First-time Adoption of PFRS. The amendment to PFRS 1 is effective immediately. Itclarifies that an entity may choose to apply either a current standard or a new standard that is notyet mandatory, but permits early application, provided either standard is applied consistentlythroughout the periods presented in the entity’s first PFRS financial statements. This amendmenthas no impact on the Group as it is not a first-time PFRS adopter.

Standards Issued but not yet EffectiveThe Group has not applied the following PFRS and Philippine Interpretations which are not yeteffective as of December 31, 2014. This list consists of standards and interpretations issued,which the Group reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Group intends to adoptthose standards when they become effective. The Group does not expect the adoption of thesestandards to have a significant impact in the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwisestated.

· PFRS 9, Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement (2010 version)PFRS 9 (2010 version) reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to theclassification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39,Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets tobe measured at fair value at initial recognition. A debt financial asset may, if the fair valueoption (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within abusiness model that has the objective to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flowsand its contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments ofprincipal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other debt instruments aresubsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. All equity financial assets aremeasured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (OCI) or profit or loss.Equity financial assets held for trading must be measured at fair value through profit or loss.For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable tochanges in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is

- 6 -

*SGVFS011188*

presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of theliability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities havebeen carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and thecriteria for using the FVO. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect onthe classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will potentially have noimpact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.

PFRS 9 (2010 version) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.This mandatory adoption date was moved to January 1, 2018 when the final version ofPFRS 9 was adopted by the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC). Suchadoption, however, is still for approval by the Board of Accountancy (BOA).

· Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreement for Construction of Real EstateThis Philippine Interpretation, which may be early applied, covers accounting for revenue andassociated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly orthrough subcontractors. This Philippine Interpretation requires that revenue on construction ofreal estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies asconstruction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involvesrendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion.Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risksand reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis will also beaccounted for based on stage of completion. The SEC and the FRSC have deferred theeffectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is issued by the InternationalAccounting Standards Board (IASB) and an evaluation of the requirements of the finalRevenue standard against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry is completed. Theadoption of the interpretation will have no impact on the Group’s financial position orperformance as the Group is not engaged in real estate businesses.

Effective January 1, 2015

· PAS 19, Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee ContributionsPAS 19 requires an entity to consider contributions from employees or third parties whenaccounting for defined benefit plans. Where the contributions are linked to service, theyshould be attributed to periods of service as a negative benefit. These amendments clarifythat, if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, anentity is permitted to recognize such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in theperiod in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to the periods ofservice. The amendments will have no impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle)The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) are effective for annual periods beginningon or after January 1, 2015 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

· PFRS 2, Share-based Payment - Definition of Vesting ConditionThis improvement is applied prospectively and clarifies various issues relating to thedefinitions of performance and service conditions which are vesting conditions, including:

· A performance condition must contain a service condition· A performance target must be met while the counterparty is rendering service

Page 84: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 7 -

*SGVFS011188*

· A performance target may relate to the operations or activities of an entity, or to those ofanother entity in the same group

· A performance condition may be a market or non-market condition· If the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the vesting

period, the service condition is not satisfied.

This amendment does not apply to the Group as it has no share-based payments.

· PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Accounting for Contingent Consideration in a BusinessCombinationThe amendment is applied prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisitiondate is on or after July 1, 2014. It clarifies that a contingent consideration that is not classifiedas equity is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not it fallswithin the scope of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement(or PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, if early adopted). The Group shall consider thisamendment for future business combinations.

· PFRS 8, Operating Segments - Aggregation of Operating Segments and Reconciliation of theTotal of the Reportable Segments’ Assets to the Entity’s AssetsThe amendments are applied retrospectively and clarify that:

· An entity must disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregationcriteria in the standard, including a brief description of operating segments that have beenaggregated and the economic characteristics (e.g., sales and gross margins) used to assesswhether the segments are ‘similar’.

· The reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed if thereconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker, similar to the requireddisclosure for segment liabilities.

The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial positionor performance.

· PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement ofAccumulated DepreciationThe amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies in PAS 16 and PAS 38 that the assetmay be revalued by reference to the observable data on either the gross or the net carryingamount. In addition, the accumulated depreciation or amortization is the difference betweenthe gross and carrying amounts of the asset. The amendment will have no impact on theGroup’s financial position or performance.

· PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures - Key Management PersonnelThe amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that a management entity, which is anentity that provides key management personnel services, is a related party subject to therelated party disclosures. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required todisclose the expenses incurred for management services. The amendments affect disclosuresonly and will have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle)The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) are effective for annual periods beginningon or after January 1, 2015 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

· PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Scope Exceptions for Joint Arrangements

The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies the following regarding the scopeexceptions within PFRS 3:

· Joint arrangements, not just joint ventures, are outside the scope of PFRS 3.· This scope exception applies only to the accounting in the financial statements of the joint

arrangement itself.

The amendment will have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

· PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Portfolio ExceptionThe amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that the portfolio exception in PFRS 13can be applied not only to financial assets and financial liabilities, but also to other contractswithin the scope of PAS 39. The amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’sfinancial position or performance.

· PAS 40, Investment PropertyThe amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that PFRS 3, and not the description ofancillary services in PAS 40, is used to determine if the transaction is the purchase of an assetor business combination. The description of ancillary services in PAS 40 only differentiatesbetween investment property and owner-occupied property (i.e., property, plant andequipment). The amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’s financial positionor performance.

Effective January 1, 2016

· PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 38, Intangible Assets - Clarification ofAcceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization (Amendments)The amendments clarify the principle in PAS 16 and PAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern ofeconomic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part)rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, arevenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and mayonly be used in very limited circumstances to amortize intangible assets. The amendments areeffective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlyadoption permitted. The amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’s financialposition or performance.

· PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 41, Agriculture - Bearer Plants(Amendments)The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet thedefinition of bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definitionof bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of PAS 41. Instead, PAS 16 will apply.After initial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under PAS 16 at accumulated cost(before maturity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model (after maturity). Theamendments also require that produce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope ofPAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. For government grants related to bearer

plants, PAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of GovernmentAssistance, will apply. The amendments are retrospectively effective for annual periodsbeginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The amendment willhave no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

· PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements - Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements(Amendments)The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments insubsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. Entitiesalready applying PFRS and electing to change to the equity method in its separate financialstatements will have to apply that change retrospectively. For first-time adopters of PFRSelecting to use the equity method in its separate financial statements, they will be required toapply this method from the date of transition to PFRS. These amendments are not expected tohave any impact to the Group.

· PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and PAS 28, Investments in Associates and JointVentures - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or JointVentureThese amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements inPFRS 10 and those in PAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets betweenan investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require that a full gain or lossis recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary ornot).

These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Group.

· PFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral AccountsPFRS 14 is an optional standard that allows an entity, whose activities are subject to rate-regulation, to continue applying most of its existing accounting policies for regulatory deferralaccount balances upon its first-time adoption of PFRS. Entities that adopt PFRS 14 mustpresent the regulatory deferral accounts as separate line items on the statement of financialposition and present movements in these account balances as separate line items in thestatement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The amendmentwill have no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

· PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Servicing ContractsPFRS 7 requires an entity to provide disclosures for any continuing involvement in atransferred asset that is derecognized in its entirety. The amendment clarifies that a servicingcontract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. Anentity must assess the nature of the fee and arrangement against the guidance in PFRS 7 inorder to assess whether the disclosures are required. The amendment is to be applied such thatthe assessment of which servicing contracts constitute continuing involvement will need to bedone retrospectively. However, comparative disclosures are not required to be provided forany period beginning before the annual period in which the entity first applies theamendments.

- 11 -

*SGVFS011188*

replacing the rules-based hedge effectiveness test with an objectives-based test that focuses onthe economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, and the effectof credit risk on that economic relationship; allowing risk components to be designated as thehedged item, not only for financial items but also for non-financial items, provided that therisk component is separately identifiable and reliably measurable; and allowing the time valueof an option, the forward element of a forward contract and any foreign currency basis spreadto be excluded from the designation of a derivative instrument as the hedging instrument andaccounted for as costs of hedging. PFRS 9 also requires more extensive disclosures for hedgeaccounting.

PFRS 9 (2013 version) has no mandatory effective date. The mandatory effective date ofJanuary 1, 2018 was eventually set when the final version of PFRS 9 was adopted by theFRSC. The adoption of the final version of PFRS 9, however, is still for approval by BOA.

The adoption of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of theGroup’s financial assets but will have no impact on the classification and measurement of theGroup’s financial liabilities. The adoption will also have an effect on the Group’s applicationof hedge accounting. The Group is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

· PFRS 9, Financial Instruments (2014 or final version)In July 2014, the final version of PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, was issued. PFRS 9 reflectsall phases of the financial instruments project and replaces PAS 39, Financial Instruments:Recognition and Measurement, and all previous versions of PFRS 9. The standard introducesnew requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting.PFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with earlyapplication permitted. Retrospective application is required, but comparative information isnot compulsory. Early application of previous versions of PFRS 9 is permitted if the date ofinitial application is before February 1, 2015.

The adoption of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of theGroup’s financial assets and impairment methodology for financial assets, but will have noimpact on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial liabilities.

The following new standard issued by the IASB has not yet been adopted by the FRSC

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with CustomersIFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and establishes a new five-step model that will apply torevenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognized at anamount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange fortransferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a morestructured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue. The new revenue standard isapplicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements underIFRS. Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periodsbeginning on or after January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Group is currentlyassessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effectivedate once adopted locally.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue RecognitionRevenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to theGroup and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of theconsideration received, excluding discounts, rebates and other sales taxes or duty. The followingspecific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Sale of air transportation servicesPassenger ticket and cargo waybill sales are initially recorded under ‘Unearned transportationrevenue’ account in the consolidated statement of financial position until recognized underRevenue account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when carriage isprovided or when the flight is uplifted.

Ancillary revenueRevenue from services incidental to the transportation of passengers, cargo, mail and merchandiseare recognized when transactions are carried out.

Interest incomeInterest on cash, cash equivalents, short-term cash investments and debt securities classified asfinancial assets at FVPL is recognized as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.

Expense RecognitionExpenses are recognized when it is probable that decrease in future economic benefits related todecrease in an asset or an increase in liability has occurred and the decrease in economic benefitscan be measured reliably. Expenses that arise in the course of ordinary regular activities of theGroup include, among others, the operating expenses on the Group’s operation.

The commission related to the sale of air transportation services is recognized as outright expenseupon the receipt of payment from customers, and is included under ‘Reservation and sales’account.

General and Administrative ExpensesGeneral and administrative expenses constitute cost of administering the business. These arerecognized as expenses when it is probable that a decrease in future economic benefit related to adecrease in an asset or an increase in a liability has occurred and the decrease in economic benefitscan be measured reliably.

Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash represents cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquidinvestments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities ofthree months or less from dates of placement and that are subject to an insignificant risk ofchanges in value. Cash equivalents include short-term investment that can be pre-terminated andreadily convertible to known amount of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk ofchanges in value. Cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash on hand, are classified andaccounted for as loans and receivables.

Financial InstrumentsDate of recognitionPurchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frameestablished by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized using the settlementdate accounting. Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis.

*SGVFS011188*

Initial recognition of financial instrumentsFinancial instruments are recognized initially at the fair value of the consideration given. Exceptfor financial instruments at FVPL, the initial measurement of financial assets includes transactioncosts. The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets atFVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS investments and loans and receivables.Financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilitiescarried at cost or amortized cost. The Group has no HTM and AFS investments as ofDecember 31, 2014 and 2013.

The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired and whetherthey are quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification of its investmentsat initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at everyreporting date.

Determination of fair valueThe fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets at the statement of financialposition date is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for longpositions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. Whencurrent bid and ask prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction providesevidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economiccircumstances since the time of the transaction.

For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined byusing appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present valuetechniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, optionspricing models and other relevant valuation models. Any difference noted between the fair valueand the transaction price is treated as expense or income, unless it qualifies for recognition assome type of asset or liability.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financialinstruments by valuation technique:

· Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities· Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded

fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly· Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value

that are not based on observable market data.

‘Day 1’ profit or lossWhere the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value based on otherobservable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation techniquewhose variables include only data from an observable market, the Group recognizes the differencebetween the transaction price and fair value (a ‘Day 1’ profit or loss) in profit or loss unless itqualifies for recognition as some other type of asset or liability. In cases where the transactionprice used is made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction pricemodel value is only recognized in profit or loss, when the inputs become observable or when theinstrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate method ofrecognizing the ‘Day 1’ profit or loss amount.

*SGVFS011188*

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPLFinancial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL include financial assets and financial liabilitiesheld for trading purposes, derivative instruments or those designated upon initial recognition as atFVPL. Financial assets and financial liabilities are designated by management on initialrecognition when any of the following criteria are met:

· The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that wouldotherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on themon a different basis; or

· The assets or liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or bothwhich are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordancewith a documented risk management or investment strategy; or

· The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivativedoes not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that itwould not be separately recorded.

The Group’s financial assets and liabilities at FVPL consist of derivative liabilities and derivativeassets as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (Note 9).

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are presented in the consolidated statement offinancial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are reflected in profit or loss. Interest earnedor incurred is recorded in interest income or expense, respectively, while dividend income isrecorded in other revenue according to the terms of the contract, or when the right of the paymenthas been established.

Derivatives recorded at FVPLThe Group is counterparty to certain derivative contracts such as commodity options. Suchderivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the date at which thederivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Any gains orlosses arising from changes in fair values of derivatives (except those accounted for as accountinghedges) are taken directly to profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value ispositive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified primarily as either: (a) a hedge of thefair value of an asset, liability or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or (b) a hedge of theexposure to variability in cash flows attributable to an asset or liability or a forecasted transaction(cash flow hedge). The Group did not apply hedge accounting on its derivative transactions forthe years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Group enters into fuel derivatives to manage its exposure to fuel price fluctuations. Such fuelderivatives are not designated as accounting hedges. These derivatives are entered into for riskmanagement purposes. The gains or losses on these instruments are accounted for directly ascharges to or credits against current operations under ‘Fuel hedging gains (losses)’ account inprofit or loss.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group has no embedded derivatives.

AFS investmentsAFS investments are those non-derivative investments which are designated as such or do notqualify to be classified or designated as financial assets at FVPL, HTM investments or loans and

- 15 -

*SGVFS011188*

receivables. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidityrequirements or changes in market conditions.

After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value.

The unrealized gains and losses are recognized directly in equity [other comprehensive income(loss)] under ‘Net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS investments’ account in the statement of financialposition. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognizedin the statement of comprehensive income is recognized in the statement of income. Where theGroup holds more than one investment in the same security they are deemed to be disposed of ona first-in first-out basis. Dividends earned while holding AFS investments are recognized in thestatement of income when the right of the payment has been established. The losses arising fromimpairment of such investments are recognized in the statement of income and removed from the‘Net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS investments’ account.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group has no AFS investments.

ReceivablesReceivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixedmaturities that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, receivables aresubsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance forimpairment loss. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium onacquisition, and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (EIR) andtransaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss, when the receivables arederecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

This accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s trade and other receivables (Note 10) andcertain refundable deposits (Note 16).

Financial liabilitiesIssued financial instruments or their components, which are not designated at FVPL are classifiedas other financial liabilities where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in theGroup having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or tosatisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financialasset for a fixed number of own equity shares. The components of issued financial instrumentsthat contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equitycomponent being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole theamount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of issue.

After initial measurement, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at cost oramortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking intoaccount any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the EIR. Anyeffects of restatement of foreign currency-denominated liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

This accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s accounts payable and other accruedliabilities, long-term debt, and other obligations that meet the above definition(Notes 17, 18 and 19).

*SGVFS011188*

Impairment of Financial AssetsThe Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial assetor group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemedto be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or moreevents that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and thatloss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or thegroup of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may includeindications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financialdifficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they willenter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there isa measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economicconditions that correlate with defaults.

Assets carried at amortized costIf there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortized cost(i.e., receivables) has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference betweenthe assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at theasset’s original EIR. Time value is generally not considered when the effect of discounting is notmaterial. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.The amount of the loss shall be recognized in profit or loss. The asset, together with theassociated allowance accounts, is written-off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery.The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually forfinancial assets that are individually significant, and collectively for financial assets that are notindividually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for anindividually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group offinancial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets iscollectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and forwhich an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in the collectiveassessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can berelated objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previouslyrecognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss isrecognized in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed itsamortized cost at the reversal date.

The Group performs a regular review of the age and status of these accounts, designed to identifyaccounts with objective evidence of impairment and provide the appropriate allowance forimpairment loss. The review is accomplished using a combination of specific and collectiveassessment approaches, with the impairment loss being determined for each risk groupingidentified by the Group.

AFS investmentsThe Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial assetor group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of debt instruments classified as AFSinvestments, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried atamortized cost. Interest continues to be accrued at the original EIR on the reduced carryingamount of the asset and is recorded under interest income in profit or loss. If, in a subsequentyear, the fair value of a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be objectively related to anevent occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss isalso reversed through profit or loss.

*SGVFS011188*

For equity investments classified as AFS investments, objective evidence would include asignificant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. Thedetermination of what is significant and prolonged is subject to judgment. Where there isevidence of impairment, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisitioncost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognizedis removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losseson equity investments are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. Increasesin fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Derecognition of Financial InstrumentsFinancial assetsA financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of financialassets) is derecognized where:

· the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;· the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation

to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement;or

· the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either: (a) hastransferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and retained control over theasset; or (b) has neither transferred nor retained the risks and rewards of the asset but hastransferred the control over the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into apass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks andrewards of the asset nor transferred control over the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent ofthe Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of aguarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of original carrying amount of theasset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Financial liabilitiesA financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged,cancelled or has expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the samelender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantiallymodified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liabilityand the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts isrecognized in profit or loss.

Offsetting Financial InstrumentsFinancial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statementof financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset therecognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset andsettle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements;thus, the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated statement of financialposition.

Expendable Parts, Fuel, Materials and SuppliesExpendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value(NRV). Cost of flight equipment expendable parts, materials and supplies are stated at acquisitioncost determined on a moving average cost method. Fuel is stated at cost on a weighted averagecost method. NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimatedcosts to sell.

*SGVFS011188*

Business Combinations and GoodwillPFRS 3 provides that if the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined onlyprovisionally by the end of the period in which the combination is effected because either the fairvalues to be assigned to the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities or thecost of the combination can be determined only provisionally, the acquirer shall account for thecombination using those provisional values. The acquirer shall recognize any adjustments to thoseprovisional values as a result of completing the initial accounting within twelve months of theacquisition date as follows: (i) the carrying amount of the identifiable asset, liability or contingentliability that is recognized or adjusted as a result of completing the initial accounting shall becalculated as if its fair value at the acquisition date had been recognized from that date;(ii) goodwill or any gain recognized shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the adjustment to thefair value at the acquisition date of the identifiable asset, liability or contingent liability beingrecognized or adjusted; and (iii) comparative information presented for the periods before theinitial accounting for the combination is complete shall be presented as if the initial accounting hasbeen completed from the acquisition date.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisitionis measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fairvalue and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each businesscombination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree atfair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-relatedcosts are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed forappropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economiccircumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation ofembedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is remeasuredat its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value atthe acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financialinstrument and within the scope of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition andMeasurement, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized either in profit orloss or as a change to OCI. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of PAS 39, it ismeasured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified asequity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the considerationtransferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interestheld, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the netassets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesseswhether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed andreviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. Ifthe reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregateconsideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from theacquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGU that are expected to benefit from the

*SGVFS011188*

combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to thoseunits.

On March 20, 2014, the Parent Company acquired 100% shares of TAP in which totalconsideration amounted to P=265.1 million and goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisitionamounted to P=566.8 million (Notes 7 and 15).

Property and EquipmentProperty and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization andimpairment loss, if any. The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price,any related capitalizable borrowing costs attributed to progress payments incurred on account ofaircraft acquisition under construction and other directly attributable costs of bringing the asset toits working condition and location for its intended use.

Subsequent costs are capitalized as part of ‘Property and equipment’ account only when it isprobable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the costof the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent costs such as actual costs of heavy maintenancevisits for passenger aircraft are capitalized and depreciated based on the estimated number of yearsor flying hours, whichever is applicable, until the next major overhaul or inspection. Generally,heavy maintenance visits are required every five to six years for airframe and ten years or 20,000flight cycles, whichever comes first, for landing gear. All other repairs and maintenance arecharged against current operations as incurred.

Pre-delivery payments for the construction of aircraft are initially recorded as Constructionin-progress when paid to the counterparty. Construction in-progress are transferred to the related‘Property and equipment’ account when the construction or installation and related activitiesnecessary to prepare the property and equipment for their intended use are completed, and theproperty and equipment are ready for service. Construction in-progress is not depreciated untilsuch time when the relevant assets are completed and available for use.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment commence once the property andequipment are available for use and are computed using the straight-line method over theestimated useful lives (EULs) of the assets, regardless of utilization.

The EULs of property and equipment of the Group follows:

Passenger aircraft* 15 yearsEngines 15 yearsRotables 15 yearsGround support equipment 5 yearsEDP Equipment, mainframe and peripherals 3 yearsTransportation equipment 5 yearsFurniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 yearsCommunication equipment 5 yearsSpecial tools 5 yearsMaintenance and test equipment 5 yearsOther equipment 5 years*With residual value of 15.00%

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their EULs or the corresponding leaseterms.

*SGVFS011188*

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economicbenefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising onderecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and thecarrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss, in the year the item is derecognized.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation and amortization arereviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year-end.

Intangible AssetsIntangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost ofintangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition(Notes 7 and 16).

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairmentannually, either individually or at the CGU level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewedannually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change inuseful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. Gains or losses arising fromderecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposalproceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit or losswhen the asset is derecognized.

The intangible asset of the Group has indefinite useful lives.

Aircraft Maintenance and Overhaul CostThe Group recognizes aircraft maintenance and overhaul expenses in accordance with thecontractual terms.

The maintenance contracts are classified into two: (a) those based on time and material basis(TMB); and (b) power-by-the-hour (PBH) contract. For maintenance contract under TMB, theGroup recognizes expenses based on expense as incurred method. For maintenance contract underPBH, the Group recognizes expense on an accrual basis.

AROThe Group is contractually required under various lease contracts to restore certain leased aircraftto its original condition and to bear the cost of restoration at the end of the contract period. Thecontractual obligation includes regular aircraft maintenance, overhaul and restoration of the leasedaircraft to its original condition. The event that gives rise to the obligation is the actual flyinghours of the asset as used, as the usage determines the timing and nature of the entity completesthe overhaul and restoration. Regular aircraft maintenance is accounted for as expense whenincurred, while overhaul and restoration are accounted on an accrual basis.

If there is a commitment related to maintenance of aircraft held under operating leasearrangements, a provision is made during the lease term for the lease return obligations specifiedwithin those lease agreements. The provision is made based on historical experience,manufacturers’ advice and if relevant, contractual obligations, to determine the present value ofthe estimated future major airframe inspections cost and engine overhauls.

Advance payment for materials for the restoration of the aircraft is initially recorded as Advancesto Supplier. This is recouped when the expenses for restoration of aircraft have been incurred.

The Group regularly assesses the provision for ARO and adjusts the related liability (Note 5).

*SGVFS011188*

Investments in Joint VenturesA joint venture (JV) is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake aneconomic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled entity is a JV that involvesthe establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest.

The Group’s 50.00%, 49.00% and 35.00% investments in Philippine Academy for AviationTraning, Inc. (PAAT), Aviation Partnership (Philippines) Corporation (A-plus) and SIAEngineering (Philippines) Corporation (SIAEP), respectively, are accounted for under the equitymethod (Note 14). Under the equity method, the investments in JV are carried in the consolidatedstatement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of netassets of the JV, less any allowance for impairment in value. The consolidated statement ofcomprehensive income reflects the Group’s share in the results of operations of the JV. Dividendsreceived are treated as a revaluation of the carrying value of the investment.

The financial statements of the investee companies used in the preparation of the consolidatedfinancial statements are prepared as of the same date with the Group. The investee companies’accounting policies conform to those by the Group for like transactions and events in similarcircumstances.

Impairment of Nonfinancial AssetsThis accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s property and equipment.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that its nonfinancialassets may be impaired. When an indicator of impairment exists or when an annual impairmenttesting for an asset is required, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount.Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its valuein use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflowsthat are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case therecoverable amount is assessed as part of the CGU to which it belongs. Where the carryingamount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or CGU is consideredimpaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimatedfuture cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflectscurrent market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An assessment is made at each statement of financial position date as to whether there is anyindication that a previously recognized impairment loss may no longer exist or may havedecreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previouslyrecognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used todetermine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that isthe case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increasedamount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciationand amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Suchreversal is recognized in profit or loss. After such a reversal, the depreciation and amortizationexpense is adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less anyresidual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining life.

Impairment of IntangiblesIntangible assets with indefinite lives are assessed for impairment annually irrespective of whetherthere is any indication that it may be impaired. An intangible asset is impaired when its carryingamount exceeds recoverable amount. An impairment is recognized immediately in the profit orloss. The Group estimates the recoverable amount of the intangible asset. This impairment test

- 22 -

*SGVFS011188*

may be performed at any time during an annual period, provided it is performed at the same timeevery year.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less cost to sell and its value inuse. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largelyindependent of the cash inflows from either assets or group of assets. Value in use is the presentvalue of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or each CGU.

An impairment loss recognized in prior periods shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been achange in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairmentloss was recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profitor loss.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually, either individuallyor at the CGU level.

Impairment of Investments in JVThe Group’s investment in JV is tested for impairment in accordance with PAS 36 as a singleasset, by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell)with its carrying amount, whenever application of the requirements in PAS 39 indicates that theinvestment may be impaired. An impairment loss recognized in those circumstances is notallocated to any asset that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in a JV.Accordingly, any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized in accordance with PAS 36 to theextent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases. In determining thevalue in use of the investment, an entity estimates: (a) its share of the present value of theestimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the JV, including the cash flows from theoperations of the JV and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment; or (b) the presentvalue of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from theinvestment and from its ultimate disposal.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount shall bereduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is an impairment loss and shall be recognizedimmediately in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods shall be reversed if,and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverableamount since the last impairment loss was recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss shall berecognized immediately in profit or loss.

Impairment of GoodwillThe Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. The impairmenttesting may be performed at any time in the annual reporting period, but it must be performed atthe same time every year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is impaired.The impairment testing also requires an estimation of the recoverable amount, which is the netselling price or value-in-use of the CGU to which the goodwill is allocated. The most recentdetailed calculation made in a preceding period of the recoverable amount of the CGU may beused for the impairment testing for the current period provided that:

· The assets and liabilities making up the CGU have not changed significantly from the mostrecent calculation;

· The most recent recoverable amount calculation resulted in an amount that exceeded thecarrying amount of the CGU by a significant margin; and

*SGVFS011188*

· The likelihood that a current recoverable amount calculation would be less than the carryingamount of the CGU is remote based on an analysis of events that have occurred andcircumstances that have changed since the most recent recoverable amount calculation.

When value-in-use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected futurecash flows from the asset of CGU and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate thepresent value of those cash flows.

An impairment loss recognized for goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

Common StockCommon stocks are classified as equity and recorded at par. Proceeds in excess of par value arerecorded as ‘Capital paid in excess of par value’ in the consolidated statement of financialposition. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown inequity as a deduction from the proceeds.

Treasury StockOwn equity instruments which are acquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deductedfrom equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the profit and loss on the purchase, sale, issue orcancellation of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments.

Retained EarningsRetained earnings represent accumulated earnings of the Group less dividends declared.

Dividends on Common SharesDividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity whenapproved and declared by the BOD, in the case of cash dividends; or by the BOD andshareholders, in the case of stock dividends.

Provisions and ContingenciesProvisions are recognized when: (a) the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as aresult of a past event; (b) it is probable (i.e., more likely than not) that an outflow of assetsembodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (c) a reliable estimatecan be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date andadjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the Group expects a provision to bereimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as aseparate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. If the effect of the time valueof money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at apre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, whereappropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in theprovision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense in profit or loss.

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position but aredisclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits isremote. Contingent assets are not recognized but disclosed in the consolidated financialstatements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. If it is virtually certain that an inflowof economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in the consolidatedfinancial statements.

Pension CostsDefined benefit planThe net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefitobligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets, adjusted forany effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset ceiling is thepresent value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan orreductions in future contributions to the plan.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using theprojected unit credit method.

Defined benefit costs comprise the following:(a) service cost;(b) net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset; and(c) remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset.

Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-routine settlements are recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognizedwhen plan amendment or curtailment occurs.

Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the netdefined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined byapplying the discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds to the net defined benefit liabilityor asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense orincome in profit or loss.

Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change inthe effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognizedimmediately in OCI in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified toprofit or loss in subsequent periods.

Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurancepolicies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directlyto the Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no marketprice is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cashflows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and thematurity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expectedperiod until the settlement of the related obligations).

The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a definedbenefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only whenreimbursement is virtually certain.

Income TaxesCurrent taxCurrent tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amountexpected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws usedto compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted as of the reporting date.

*SGVFS011188*

Deferred taxDeferred tax is provided using the liability method on all temporary differences, with certainexceptions, at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carryingamounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, with certainexceptions. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences withcertain exceptions, and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess minimumcorporate income tax (MCIT) over RCIT and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), tothe extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which thedeductible temporary differences and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excessMCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred tax assets, however, are not recognizedwhen it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not abusiness combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting income nortaxable profit or loss. Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporarydifferences associated with interests in JV. With respect to interests in JV, deferred tax liabilitiesare recognized except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can becontrolled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeablefuture.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to theextent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all orpart of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed ateach reporting date, and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that futuretaxable income will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are applicable to the periodwhen the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have beenenacted or substantively enacted as of the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss.Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in profit orloss or other comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to setoff current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxableentity and the same taxation authority.

LeasesThe determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the substance ofthe arrangement at inception date, and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of thearrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys aright to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of thefollowing applies:

a. there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;b. a renewal option is exercised or an extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or

extension was initially included in the lease term;c. there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset;

ord. there is a substantial change to the asset.

- 26 -

*SGVFS011188*

Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when thechange in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for (a), (c) and (d) scenarios above, and atthe date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b).

Group as lesseeFinance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental toownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of theleased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments and includedunder ‘Property and equipment’ account with the corresponding liability to the lessor includedunder ‘Long-term debt’ account in the consolidated statement of financial position. Leasepayments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as toachieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges arecharged directly to profit or loss.

Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonablecertainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciatedover the shorter of the EUL of the asset and the lease term.

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset areclassified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in profit orloss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Group as lessorLeases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership ofthe assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operatingleases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term onthe same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period inwhich they are earned.

Borrowing CostsBorrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if they aredirectly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization ofborrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress, andexpenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until theassets are substantially ready for their intended use.

The Group had not capitalized any borrowing costs for the years ended December 31, 2014 and2013 as all borrowing costs from outstanding long-term debt relate to assets that are at state readyfor intended use (Note 18).

Foreign Currency TransactionsTransactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the Group’s functional currency usingthe exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilitiesdenominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency using the PhilippineDealing and Exchange Corp. (PDEX) closing rate prevailing at the reporting date. All differencesare taken to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that aremeasured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the prevailingclosing exchange rate as of the date of initial transaction.

*SGVFS011188*

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weightedaverage number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year, adjusted for anysubsequent stock dividends declared.

Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equityholders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during theyear plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversionof all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Parent Company does not have any dilutivepotential ordinary shares.

Segment ReportingOperating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to theChief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for resourceallocation and assessing performance of the operating segment, has been identified as thePresident. The nature of the operating segment is set out in Note 6.

Events After the Reporting DatePost-year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at thereporting date (adjusting event) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post-year-end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements,when material.

5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has exercised judgmentsand estimates in determining the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.The most significant uses of judgments and estimates follow.

Judgments

a. Going concernThe management of the Group has made an assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as agoing concern and is satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue in business for theforeseeable future. Furthermore, the Group is not aware of any material uncertainties that maycast significant doubts upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, theconsolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.

b. Classification of financial instrumentsThe Group exercises judgment in classifying a financial instrument, or its component, oninitial recognition as either a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument inaccordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financialasset, financial liability or equity instrument. The substance of a financial instrument, ratherthan its legal form, governs its classification in the consolidated statement of financialposition.

Page 105: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 28 -

*SGVFS011188*

In addition, the Group classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether theasset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on whether a financialasset is quoted in an active market is the determination of whether quoted prices are readilyand regularly available, and whether those prices represent actual and regularly occurringmarket transactions on an arm’s length basis.

c. Fair values of financial instrumentsWhere the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidatedstatement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determinedusing valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to thesemodels are taken from observable market data where possible, but where this is not feasible,estimates are used in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations ofliquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors couldaffect the reported fair value of financial instruments. For derivatives, the Group generallyrelies on calculation agent’s valuation.

The fair values of the Group’s financial instruments are presented in Note 29.

d. Impairment of financial assetsIn determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Groupmakes judgments as to whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result ofone or more events that has occurred after initial recognition of the asset and that loss event orevents has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets or the group offinancial assets that can be reliably estimated. This observable data may include adversechanges in payment status of borrowings in a group, or national or local economic conditionsthat correlate with defaults on assets in the portfolio.

e. Classification of leasesManagement exercises judgment in determining whether substantially all the significant risksand rewards of ownership of the leased assets are transferred to the Group. Lease contracts,which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership ofthe leased items, are capitalized. Otherwise, they are considered as operating leases.

The Group also has lease agreements where it has determined that the risks and rewardsrelated to the leased assets are retained with the lessors. Such leases are accounted for asoperating leases (Note 30).

f. Consolidation of SPEsThe Group periodically undertakes transactions that may involve obtaining the rights tovariable returns from its involvement with the SPE. These transactions include the purchaseof aircraft and assumption of certain liabilities. Also, included are transactions involvingSPEs and similar vehicles. In all such cases, management makes an assessment as to whetherthe Group has the right over the returns of its SPEs, and based on this assessment, the SPE isconsolidated as a subsidiary or associated company. In making this assessment, managementconsiders the underlying economic substance of the transaction and not only the contractualterms.

*SGVFS011188*

g. Determination of functional currencyPAS 21 requires management to use its judgment to determine the entity’s functional currencysuch that it most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions,events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. In making this judgment, each entity inthe Group considers the following:

a) the currency that mainly influences sales prices for financial instruments and services (thiswill often be the currency in which sales prices for its financial instruments and servicesare denominated and settled);

b) the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; andc) the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is alsothe Parent Company’s functional currency.

h. ContingenciesThe Group is currently involved in certain legal proceedings. The estimate of the probablecosts for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outsidecounsel handling the defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potentialresults. The Group currently does not believe that these proceedings will have a materialadverse effect on the Group’s financial position and results of operations. It is possible,however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in theestimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings (Note 30).

i. Allocation of revenue, costs and expensesRevenue, costs and expenses are classified as exclusive and common. Exclusive revenue, costand expenses such as passenger revenue, cargo revenue, excess baggage revenue, fuel andinsurance surcharge, fuel and oil expense, hull/war/risk insurance, maintenance expense,depreciation (for aircraft under finance lease), lease expense (for aircraft under operatinglease) and interest expense based on the related long-term debt are specifically identified peraircraft based on an actual basis. For revenue, cost and expense accounts that are notidentifiable per aircraft, the Group provides allocation based on activity factors that closelyrelate to the earning process of the revenue.

j. Application of hedge accountingThe Group applies hedge accounting treatment for certain qualifying derivatives aftercomplying with hedge accounting requirements, specifically on hedge documentationdesignation and effectiveness testing. Judgment is involved in these areas, which includemanagement determining the appropriate data points for evaluating hedge effectiveness,establishing that the hedged forecasted transaction in cash flow hedges are probable ofoccurring, and assessing the credit standing of hedging counterparties (Note 9).

k. Classification of joint arrangementsThe Group’s investments in joint ventures (Note 14) are structured in separate incorporatedentities. Even though the Group holds various percentage of ownership interest on thesearrangements, their respective joint arrangement agreements requires unanimous consent fromall parties to the agreement for the relevant activities identified. The Group and the parties tothe agreement only have rights to the net assets of the joint venture through the terms of thecontractual arrangements.

*SGVFS011188*

l. IntangiblesThe Group assesses intangible as having an indefinite useful life when based on the analysisof relevant factors; the Group has no foreseeable limit to the period of which the intangibleasset is expected to generate cash inflow for the Group.

m. Impairment of goodwill and intangible assetsThe Group performs its annual impairment test on its goodwill and other intangible assets withindefinite useful lives as of reporting date irrespective of whether there is any indication ofimpairment. The recoverable amounts of the intangible assets were determined based onvalue in use calculations using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved bymanagement covering a five-year period.

l) Impairment of PPE and investments in JVThe Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication thatan asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the entity shall estimate therecoverable amount of the asset.

Estimates and Assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty at thestatement of financial position date that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment tothe carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year are discussed below:

a. Estimation of allowance for credit losses on receivablesThe Group maintains allowance for impairment losses at a level considered adequate toprovide for potential uncollectible receivables. The level of this allowance is evaluated bymanagement on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. These factorsinclude, but are not limited to, the length of the Group’s relationship with the agents,customers and other counterparties, the payment behavior of agents and customers, othercounterparties and other known market factors. The Group reviews the age and status ofreceivables, and identifies accounts that are to be provided with allowances on a continuousbasis.

The related balances follow (Note 10):

2014 2013Receivables P=2,169,549,982 P=2,053,254,622Allowance for credit losses 306,831,563 235,438,019

b. Determination of NRV of expendable parts, fuel, materials and suppliesThe Group’s estimates of the NRV of expendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies are basedon the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made, of the amount thatthe expendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies are expected to be realized. In determiningthe NRV, the Group considers any adjustment necessary for obsolescence, which is generallyproviding 100.00% for nonmoving items for more than one year. A new assessment is madeof NRV in each subsequent period. When the circumstances that previously causedexpendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies to be written-down below cost no longer exist orwhen there is a clear evidence of an increase in NRV because of a change in economiccircumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed so that the new carrying amount isthe lower of the cost and the revised NRV.

*SGVFS011188*

The related balances follow (Note 11):

2014 2013Expendable Parts, Fuel, Materials and Supplies

At NRV P=504,714,331 P=407,985,226At cost 174,600,739 303,190,634

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, allowance for inventory write-down for expendable partsamounted to P=20.5 million. No additional provision for inventory write-down was recognizedby the Group in 2014 and 2013.

c. Estimation of AROThe Group is contractually required under certain lease contracts to restore certain leasedpassenger aircraft to stipulated return condition and to bear the costs of restoration at the endof the contract period. Since the first operating lease entered by the Group in 2001, thesecosts are accrued based on an internal estimate which includes estimates of certain redeliverycosts at the end of the operating aircraft lease. The contractual obligation includes regularaircraft maintenance, overhaul and restoration of the leased aircraft to its original condition.Regular aircraft maintenance is accounted for as expense when incurred, while overhaul andrestoration are accounted on an accrual basis.

Assumptions used to compute ARO are reviewed and updated annually by the Group. As ofDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, the cost of restoration is computed based on the Group’saverage borrowing cost.

The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if differentjudgments were made or different estimates were utilized. The recognition of ARO wouldincrease other noncurrent liabilities and repairs and maintenance expense.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group’s ARO liability (included under ‘Othernoncurrent liabilities’ account in the statements of financial position) has a carrying value ofP=586.1 million and P=1,637.3 million, respectively (Note 19). The related repairs andmaintenance expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 amounted toP=476.0 million, P=590.6 million and P=577.5 million, respectively (Notes 19 and 22).

d. Estimation of useful lives and residual values of property and equipmentThe Group estimates the useful lives of its property and equipment based on the period overwhich the assets are expected to be available for use. The Group estimates the residual valueof its property and equipment based on the expected amount recoverable at the end of itsuseful life. The Group reviews annually the EULs and residual values of property andequipment based on factors that include physical wear and tear, technical and commercialobsolescence and other limits on the use of the assets. It is possible that future results ofoperations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about bychanges in the factors mentioned. A reduction in the EUL or residual value of property andequipment would increase recorded depreciation and amortization expense and decreasenoncurrent assets.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying values of the Group’s property andequipment amounted to P=65,227.1 million and P=56,412.5 million, respectively (Note 13).The Group’s depreciation and amortization expense amounted to P=4,281.5 million,P=3,454.6 million and P=2,767.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and2012, respectively (Note 13).

*SGVFS011188*

e. Impairment of property and equipment and investment in JVThe Group assesses the impairment of nonfinancial assets, particularly property andequipment and investment in JV, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate thatthe carrying amount of the nonfinancial asset may not be recoverable. The factors that theGroup considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

· significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operatingresults;

· significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overallbusiness; and

· significant negative industry or economic trends.

An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or investmentexceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair valueless cost to sell and value in use. The fair value less cost to sell is the amount obtainable fromthe sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction while value in use is the present value ofestimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from itsdisposal at the end of its useful life.

Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or investments or, if it is not possible,for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated fromthe continued use of the assets, the Group is required to make estimates and assumptions thatcan materially affect the consolidated financial statements.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the carrying values of the Group’s property andequipment amounted to P=65,227.1 million and P=56,412.5 million, respectively (Note 13).Investments in JV amounted to P=591.3 million and P=578.8 million as of December 31, 2014and 2013, respectively (Note 14). There were no provision for impairment losses on theGroup’s property and equipment and investments in JV for the years endedDecember 31, 2014 and 2013.

f. Impairment of goodwill and intangiblesThe Group determines whether goodwill and intangibles are impaired at least on an annualbasis. The impairment testing may be performed at any time in the annual reporting period,but it must be performed at the same time every year and when circumstances indicate that thecarrying amount is impaired. The impairment testing also requires an estimation of therecoverable amount, which is the net selling price or value-in-use of the CGU to which thegoodwill and intangibles are allocated. The most recent detailed calculation made in apreceding period of the recoverable amount of the CGU may be used for the impairmenttesting for the current period provided that:

· The assets and liabilities making up the CGU have not changes significantly from themost recent calculation;

· The most recent recoverable amount calculation resulted in an amount that exceeded thecarrying amount of the CGU by a significant margin; and

· The likelihood that a current recoverable amount calculation would be less than thecarrying amount of the CGU is remote based on an analysis of events that have occurredand circumstances that have changed since the most recent recoverable amountcalculation.

*SGVFS011188*

When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected futurecash flows from the asset or CGUs and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate thepresent value of those cash flows.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group has determined that goodwill and intangiblesare recoverable as there were no indications that it is impaired. Goodwill amounted to P=566.8million and nil as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (Notes 7 and 15).

g. Estimation of pension and other employee benefit costsThe determination of the obligation and cost of pension and other employee benefits isdependent on the selection of certain assumptions used in calculating such amounts. Thoseassumptions include, among others, discount rates and salary increase rates (Note 24).

While the Group believes that the assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significantdifferences between actual experiences and assumptions may materially affect the cost ofemployee benefits and related obligations.

The Group’s pension liability (included in ‘Other noncurrent liabilities’ account in theconsolidated statements of financial position) amounted to P=385.7 million and P=538.2 millionas of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (Notes 19 and 24).

The Group also estimates other employee benefit obligations and expense, including the costof paid leaves based on historical leave availments of employees, subject to the Group’spolicy. These estimates may vary depending on the future changes in salaries and actualexperiences during the year.

h. Recognition of deferred tax assetsThe Group assesses the carrying amounts of deferred income taxes at each reporting date andreduces deferred tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxableincome will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized.Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assetsthat can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profitstogether with future tax planning strategies.

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Group had certain gross deductible and taxabletemporary differences which are expected to expire or reverse within the ITH period, and forwhich deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were not set up on account of the ParentCompany’s ITH.

2. Risk control and compliance - this group includes middle management personnel who performthe day-to-day compliance check to approved risk policies and risks mitigation decisions.

3. Support - this group includes back office personnel who support the line personnel.4. Risk management - this group pertains to the Group’s Management Committee which makes

risk mitigating decisions within the enterprise-wide risk management framework.

ERM frameworkThe Group’s BOD is also responsible for establishing and maintaining a sound risk managementframework and is accountable for risks taken by the Group. The Group’s BOD also shares theresponsibility with the ERMG in promoting the risk awareness program enterprise-wide.

The ERM framework revolves around the following seven interrelated risk managementapproaches:

1. Internal Environmental Scanning - it involves the review of the overall prevailing risk profileof the business unit to determine how risks are viewed and addressed by management. This ispresented during the strategic planning, annual budgeting and mid-year performance reviewsof the business unit.

2. Objective Setting - the Group’s BOD mandates the Group’s management to set the overallannual targets through strategic planning activities, in order to ensure that management has aprocess in place to set objectives which are aligned with the Group’s goals.

3. Risk Assessment - the identified risks are analyzed relative to the probability and severity ofpotential loss which serves as a basis for determining how the risks should be managed. Therisks are further assessed as to which risks are controllable and uncontrollable, risks thatrequire management’s attention, and risks which may materially weaken the Group’s earningsand capital.

4. Risk Response - the Group’s BOD, through the oversight role of the ERMG, approves theGroup’s responses to mitigate risks, either to avoid, self-insure, reduce, transfer or share risk.

5. Control Activities - policies and procedures are established and approved by the Group’s BODand implemented to ensure that the risk responses are effectively carried out enterprise-wide.

6. Information and Communication - relevant risk management information are identified,captured and communicated in form and substance that enable all personnel to perform theirrisk management roles.

7. Monitoring - the ERMG, Internal Audit Group, Compliance Office and Business AssessmentTeam constantly monitor the management of risks through risk limits, audit reviews,compliance checks, revalidation of risk strategies and performance reviews.

Risk management support groupsThe Group’s BOD created the following departments within the Group to support the riskmanagement activities of the Group and the other business units:

1. Corporate Security and Safety Board (CSSB) - under the supervision of ERMG, the CSSBadministers enterprise-wide policies affecting physical security of assets exposed to variousforms of risks.

Risk Management PoliciesThe main risks arising from the use of financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk andmarket risk, namely foreign currency risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. TheGroup’s policies for managing the aforementioned risks are summarized below.

Credit riskCredit risk is defined as the risk of loss due to uncertainty in a third party’s ability to meet itsobligation to the Group. The Group trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. It isthe Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are being subjected tocredit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on a continuousbasis resulting in an insignificant exposure in bad debts.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprisecash in bank and cash equivalents and certain derivative instruments, the Group’s exposure tocredit risk arises from default of the counterparty with a maximum exposure equal to the carryingamount of these instruments.

Maximum exposure to credit risk without taking account of any credit enhancementThe table below shows the gross to credit risk (including derivative assets) of the Group as ofDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, without considering the effects of collaterals and other credit riskmitigation techniques.

Risk concentrations of the maximum exposure to credit riskConcentrations arise when a number of counterparties are engaged in similar business activities, oractivities in the same geographic region or have similar economic features that would cause theirability to meet contractual obligations to be similarly affected by changes in economic, political orother conditions. Concentrations indicate the relative sensitivity of the Group’s performance todevelopments affecting a particular industry or geographical location. Such credit riskconcentrations, if not properly managed, may cause significant losses that could threaten theGroup’s financial strength and undermine public confidence. In order to avoid excessiveconcentrations of risk identified concentrations of credit risks are controlled and managedaccordingly.

High grade cash and cash equivalents are short-term placements and working cash fund placed,invested, or deposited in foreign and local banks belonging to the top ten banks in terms ofresources and profitability.

High grade accounts are accounts considered to be of high value. The counterparties have a veryremote likelihood of default and have consistently exhibited good paying habits.

Standard grade accounts are active accounts with propensity of deteriorating to mid-range agebuckets. These accounts are typically not impaired as the counterparties generally respond tocredit actions and update their payments accordingly.

Substandard grade accounts are accounts which have probability of impairment based on historicaltrend. These accounts show propensity to default in payment despite regular follow-up actionsand extended payment terms.

Past due or individually impaired accounts consist of past due but not impaired receivablesamounting to P=261.7 million and P=127.9 million as December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively,and past due and impaired receivables amounting P=306.8 million and P=235.4 million as ofDecember 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Past due but not impaired receivables are secured bycash bonds from major sales and ticket offices recorded under ‘Accounts payable and otheraccrued liabilities’ account in the consolidated statement of financial position. For the past dueand impaired receivables, specific allowance for impairment losses amounted to P=306.8 millionand P=235.4 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (Note 10).

Collateral or credit enhancementsAs collateral against trade receivables from sales ticket offices or agents, the Group requires cashbonds from major sales ticket offices or agents ranging from P=50,000 to P=2.1 million dependingon the Group’s assessment of sales ticket offices and agents’ credit standing and volume oftransactions. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, outstanding cash bonds (included under‘Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities’ account in the consolidated statement of financialposition) amounted to P=293.9 million and P=196.5 million, respectively (Note 17). There are nocollaterals for impaired receivables.

Impairment assessmentThe Group recognizes impairment losses based on the results of its specific/individual andcollective assessment of its credit exposures. Impairment has taken place when there is a presenceof known difficulties in the servicing of cash flows by counterparties, infringement of the originalterms of the contract has happened, or when there is an inability to pay principal overdue beyond acertain threshold. These and the other factors, either singly or in tandem, constitute observableevents and/or data that meet the definition of an objective evidence of impairment.

The two methodologies applied by the Group in assessing and measuring impairment include:(1) specific/individual assessment; and (2) collective assessment.

Under specific/individual assessment, the Group assesses each individually significant creditexposure for any objective evidence of impairment, and where such evidence exists, accordinglycalculates the required impairment. Among the items and factors considered by the Group whenassessing and measuring specific impairment allowances are: (a) the timing of the expected cashflows; (b) the projected receipts or expected cash flows; (c) the going concern of thecounterparty’s business; (d) the ability of the counterparty to repay its obligations during financialcrises; (e) the availability of other sources of financial support; and (f) the existing realizable valueof collateral. The impairment allowances, if any, are evaluated as the need arises, in view offavorable or unfavorable developments.

With regard to the collective assessment of impairment, allowances are assessed collectively forlosses on receivables that are not individually significant and for individually significantreceivables when there is no apparent nor objective evidence of individual impairment yet.A particular portfolio is reviewed on a periodic basis in order to determine its correspondingappropriate allowances. The collective assessment evaluates and estimates the impairment of theportfolio in its entirety even though there is no objective evidence of impairment yet on anindividual assessment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the followingdeterministic information: (a) historical losses/write-offs; (b) losses which are likely to occur buthave not yet occurred; and (c) the expected receipts and recoveries once impaired.

Liquidity riskLiquidity is generally defined as the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arisingfrom the Group’s inability to meet its obligations when they become due without recurringunacceptable losses or costs.

The Group’s liquidity management involves maintaining funding capacity to finance capitalexpenditures and service maturing debts, and to accommodate any fluctuations in asset andliability levels due to changes in the Group’s business operations or unanticipated events createdby customer behavior or capital market conditions. The Group maintains a level of cash and cashequivalents deemed sufficient to finance operations. As part of its liquidity risk management, theGroup regularly evaluates its projected and actual cash flows. It also continuously assessesconditions in the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund raising activities. Fund raisingactivities may include obtaining bank loans and availing of export credit agency facilities.

Financial assetsThe analysis of financial assets held for liquidity purposes into relevant maturity grouping is basedon the remaining period at the statement of financial position date to the contractual maturity dateor if earlier the expected date the assets will be realized.

Financial liabilitiesThe relevant maturity grouping is based on the remaining period at the statement of financialposition date to the contractual maturity date. When counterparty has a choice of when the amountis paid, the liability is allocated to the earliest period in which the Group can be required to pay.When an entity is committed to make amounts available in installments, each installment isallocated to the earliest period in which the entity can be required to pay.

Market riskMarket risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that mayresult from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument maychange as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity pricesor other market changes. The Group’s market risk originates from its holding of foreign exchangeinstruments, interest-bearing instruments and derivatives.

Foreign currency riskForeign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a foreign currencyother than the functional currency in which they are measured. It is the risk that the value of afinancial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Group has transactional currency exposures. Such exposures arise from sales and purchasesin currencies other than the Parent Company’s functional currency. During the years endedDecember 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, approximately 29.0%, 27.2% and 25.0%, respectively, of theGroup’s total sales are denominated in currencies other than the functional currency. Furthermore,the Group’s capital expenditures are substantially denominated in US Dollar. As ofDecember 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, 67.2%, 66.1% and 71.9%, respectively, of the Group’sfinancial liabilities were denominated in US Dollar.

The following table sets forth the impact of the range of reasonably possible changes in theUS dollar - Philippine peso exchange value on the Group’s pre-tax income for the years endedDecember 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands).

2014 2013 2012Changes in foreign exchange value P=2 (P=2) P=2 (P=2) P=2 (P=2)Change in pre-tax income (P=1,687,711) P=1,687,711 (P=1,371,102) P=1,371,102 (P=1,086,164) P=1,086,164

Other than the potential impact on the Group’s pre-tax income, there is no other effect on equity.

The Group does not expect the impact of the volatility on other currencies to be material.

Commodity price riskThe Group enters into commodity derivatives to manage its price risks on fuel purchases.Commodity hedging allows stability in prices, thus offsetting the risk of volatile marketfluctuations. Depending on the economic hedge cover, the price changes on the commodityderivative positions are offset by higher or lower purchase costs on fuel. A change in price byUS$10.00 per barrel of jet fuel affects the Group’s fuel costs in pre-tax income byP=1,778.5 million, P=1,414.3 million and P=1,258.9 million as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012,respectively, in each of the covered periods, assuming no change in volume of fuel is consumed.

Interest rate riskInterest rate risk arises on interest-bearing financial instruments recognized in the consolidatedstatement of financial position and on some financial instruments not recognized in theconsolidated statement of financial position (i.e., some loan commitments, if any). The Group’spolicy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt (Note 18).

Fair value interest rate riskFair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value/future cash flows of a financial instrumentwill fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest raterisk relates primarily to the Group’s financial assets designated at FVPL.

29. Fair Value Measurement

The carrying amounts approximate fair values for the Group’s financial assets and liabilities dueto its short-term maturities except for the following financial asset and other financial liabilities asof December 31, 2014 and 2013:

2014 2013Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value

The methods and assumptions used by the Group in estimating the fair value of financial asset andother financial liabilities are:

Noninterest - bearing refundable depositsThe fair values are determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows usingprevailing market rates. The Group used discount rates of 3% to 4% in 2014 and 2013.

Long-term debtThe fair value of long-term debt is determined using the discounted cash flow methodology, withreference to the Group’s current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans. The discountcurve used range from 2% to 6% as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financialassets designated at FVPL, derivative financial instruments and AFS investments by valuationtechniques:

(a) Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities;(b) Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded

fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly; and(c) Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value

that are not based on observable market data.

PART I–FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Item 1. Financial Statements

The unaudited consolidated financial statements are filed as part of this Form 17-Q.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of

Operations

Cebu Air, Inc. (the Parent Company) is an airline that operates under the trade name “Cebu

Pacific Air” and is the leading low-cost carrier in the Philippines. It pioneered the “low fare,

great value” strategy in the local aviation industry by providing scheduled air travel services

targeted to passengers who are willing to forego extras for fares that are typically lower than those

offered by traditional full-service airlines while offering reliable services and providing

passengers with a fun travel experience.

The Parent Company was incorporated on August 26, 1988 and was granted a 40-year legislative

franchise to operate international and domestic air transport services in 1991. It commenced its

scheduled passenger operations in 1996 with its first domestic flight from Manila to Cebu. In

1997, it was granted the status as an official Philippine carrier to operate international services by

the Office of the President of the Philippines pursuant to Executive Order (EO) No. 219.

International operations began in 2001 with flights from Manila to Hong Kong.

In 2005, the Parent Company adopted the low-cost carrier (LCC) business model. The core

element of the LCC strategy is to offer affordable air services to passengers. This is achieved by

having: high-load, high-frequency flights; high aircraft utilization; a young and simple fleet

composition; and low distribution costs.

The Parent Company’s common stock was listed with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on

October 26, 2010, the Company’s initial public offering (IPO).

The Parent Company has ten special purpose entities (SPE) that it controls, namely: Cebu Aircraft

Leasing Limited, IBON Leasing Limited, Boracay Leasing Limited, Surigao Leasing Limited,

Sharp Aircraft Leasing Limited, Vector Aircraft Leasing Limited, Panatag One Aircraft Leasing

Limited, Panatag Two Aircraft Leasing Limited, Panatag Three Aircraft Leasing Limited and

Summit A Aircraft Leasing Limited. On March 20, 2014, the Parent Company acquired 100%

ownership of Tiger Airways Philippines (TAP), including 40% stake in Roar Aviation II Pte. Ltd.

(Roar II), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tiger Airways Holdings Limited (TAH). The Parent

Company, its ten SPEs and Tiger Airways Philippines (collectively known as “the Group”) are

consolidated for financial reporting purposes.

As of March 31, 2015, the Group operates an extensive route network serving 55 domestic routes

and 36 international routes with a total of 2,597 scheduled weekly flights. It operates from seven

hubs, including the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 both

located in Pasay City, Metro Manila; Mactan-Cebu International Airport located in Lapu-Lapu

City, part of Metropolitan Cebu; Diosdado Macapagal International Airport (DMIA) located in

Clark, Pampanga; Davao International Airport located in Davao City, Davao del Sur; Ilo-ilo

International Airport located in Ilo-ilo City, regional center of the western Visayas region; and

Kalibo International Airport in Kalibo, Aklan.

As of March 31, 2015, the Group operates a fleet of 55 aircraft which comprises of 10 Airbus

A319, 31 Airbus A320, 6 Airbus A330 and 8 ATR 72-500 aircraft. It operates its Airbus aircraft

on both domestic and international routes and operates the ATR 72-500 aircraft on domestic

routes, including destinations with runway limitations. The average aircraft age of the Group’s

fleet is approximately 4.41 years as of March 31, 2015.

Page 175: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 4 -

The Group has three principal distribution channels: the internet; direct sales through booking

sales offices, call centers and government/corporate client accounts; and third-party sales outlets.

Aside from passenger service, it also provides airport-to-airport cargo services on its domestic and

international routes. In addition, the Group offers ancillary services such as cancellation and

rebooking options, in-flight merchandising such as sale of duty-free products on international

flights, baggage and travel-related products and services.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 Versus March 31, 2014

Revenues

The Group generated revenues of P=14.198 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2015,

20.7% higher than the P=11.764 billion revenues earned in the same period last year. Growth in

revenues is accounted for as follows:

Passenger

Passenger revenues grew by P=1.960 billion or 22.2% to P=10.808 billion in the three months ended

March 31, 2015 from P=8.848 billion posted in the three months ended March 31, 2014. This

increase was mainly attributable to the 13.0% increase in passenger volume to 4.3 million from

3.8 million in 2014 driven by the increased number of flights in 2015. Number of flights went up

by 14.3% year on year as the Group added more aircraft to its fleet, particularly, its acquisition of

wide-body Airbus A330 aircraft with a configuration of more than 400 all-economy class seats.

The number of aircraft increased from 51 aircraft as of March 31, 2014 to 55 aircraft as of March

31, 2015, which includes 3 brand new Airbus A330 aircraft delivered in 2014 and in 2015.

Increase in average fares by 8.1% to P=2,525 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from

P=2,336 for the same period last year also contributed to the growth in revenues.

Cargo

Cargo revenues grew by P92.728 million or 13.6% to P772.545 million for the three months

ended March 31, 2015 from P679.818 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014

following the increase in the volume of cargo transported in 2015.

Ancillary

Ancillary revenues went up by P=381.125 million or 17.0 % to P=2.618 billion in the three months

ended March 31, 2015 from P=2.236 billion registered in the same period last year consequent to

the 13.0% increase in passenger traffic and 3.6% increase in average ancillary revenue per

passenger. Improved online bookings, together with a wider range of ancillary revenue products

and services, also contributed to the increase.

Expenses

The Group incurred operating expenses of P11.368 billion for the three months ended

March 31, 2015, slightly higher by 1.0% than the P11.252 billion operating expenses recorded for

the three months ended March 31, 2014. Expenses generally increased driven by the Group’s

expanded long haul operations and growth in seat capacity from the acquisition of new aircraft.

However, this was offset by the substantial reduction in fuel costs incurred for the three months

ended March 31, 2015 compared to the same period last year due to the sharp decline in global jet

fuel prices. The strengthening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar as referenced by the

appreciation of the Philippine peso to an average of P44.42 per U.S. dollar for the three months

ended March 31, 2015 from an average of P44.88 per U.S. dollar last year based on the Philippine

Dealing and Exchange Corporation (PDEx) weighted average rates also partially mitigated the

increase in expenses.

Flying Operations

Flying operations expenses decreased by P1.056 billion or 17.0% to P5.144 billion for the three

months ended March 31, 2015 from P6.200 billion incurred in the same period last year. This is

primarily attributable to the 22.1% decline in aviation fuel expenses to P4.325 billion for the three

months ended March 31, 2015 from P5.551 billion for the same period last year consequent to the

significant drop in jet fuel prices as referenced by the reduction in the average published fuel

MOPS price of U.S. $68.98 per barrel in the three months ended March 31, 2015 from U.S.

$121.47 per barrel in 2014. The slight strengthening of the Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar

as referenced by the appreciation of the Philippine peso to an average of P44.42 per U.S. dollar

for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from an average of P44.88 per U.S. dollar last year

based on the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation (PDEx) weighted average rates also

contributed to the decrease.

Aircraft and Traffic Servicing

Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses increased by P216.803 million or 20.0% to P1.303 billion

for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from P1.086 billion registered in the same period in

2014 as a result of the overall increase in the number of flights flown in 2015. Higher expenses

were particularly attributable to more international flights operated for which airport and ground

handling charges were generally higher compared to domestic flights. International flights

increased by 10.5% year on year with the launch of long haul operations to Kuwait, Sydney and

Riyadh in the latter part of 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expenses grew by P220.976 million or 22.2% to P1.215 billion for

the three months ended March 31, 2015 from P993.726 million for the three months ended

March 31, 2014. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased consequent to the arrival of

three Airbus A320 aircraft during the second and last quarters of 2014 and two Airbus A320

aircraft in 2015.

Repairs and Maintenance

Repairs and maintenance expenses went up by 21.2% to P1.333 billion for the three months ended

March 31, 2015 from P1.100 billion posted in the three months ended March 31, 2014. Increase

was driven by the overall increase in the number of flights and the delivery of three Airbus A320

and two Airbus A330 aircraft in the last three quarters of 2014 and two Airbus A320 and one

Airbus A330 aircraft in 2015 partially offset by the return of four leased Airbus A320 aircraft in

2014.

Aircraft and Engine Lease

Aircraft and engine lease expenses moved up by P123.366 million or 15.3% to P929.669 million

in the three months ended March 31, 2015 from P806.302 million charged for the three months

ended March 31, 2014. Increase in aircraft lease was due to the delivery of three Airbus A330

aircraft under operating lease, two in the latter part of 2014 and one in 2015. This was partially

offset by the return of four leased Airbus A320 aircraft in 2014.

Reservation and Sales

Reservation and sales expenses increased by P178.979 million or 33.9% to P706.236 million for

the three months ended March 31, 2015 from P527.257 million for the three months ended

March 31, 2014. This was primarily attributable to the increase in commission expenses and

online bookings relative to the overall growth in passenger volume year on year.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses grew by P88.712 million or 32.5% to P361.777 million for

the three months ended March 31, 2015 from P273.065 million incurred in the three months

ended March 31, 2014. Growth in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable

to the increased flight and passenger activity in 2015.

Passenger Service

Passenger service expenses went up by P110.077 million or 41.5% to P375.474 million for the

three months ended March 31, 2015 from P265.397 million posted for the three months ended

March 31, 2014. This was primarily caused by additional cabin crew hired for the Airbus A320

and A330 aircraft acquired during the last three quarters of 2014 and in 2015 and the increase in

passenger food and supplies from pre-ordered meals being offered in international flights.

Operating Income

As a result of the foregoing, the Group finished with an operating income of P2.831 billion for the

three months ended March 31, 2015, 452.5% higher than the P512.381 million operating income

earned in the same period last year.

Other Income (Expenses)

Interest Income

Interest income dropped by P11.220 million or 45.2% to P13.587 million for the three months

ended March 31, 2015 from P24.807 million earned in the same period last year due to decrease

in the balance of cash in bank and short-term placements year on year and lower interest rates.

Hedging Gains (Losses)

The Group incurred a hedging loss of P360.566 million for the three months ended

March 31, 2015, an increase of 699.7% from hedging loss of P45.089 million in the same period

last year as a result of lower mark-to-market valuation on fuel hedging positions consequent to the

material decline in fuel prices in 2015.

Foreign Exchange Gains (Losses)

The Group registered a net foreign exchange loss of P9.232 million for the three months ended

March 31, 2015, a decrease of 95.2% from net foreign exchange loss of P193.655 million

incurred in the same period last year as a result of the appreciation of the Philippine peso against

the U.S. dollar. The Group’s major exposure to foreign exchange rate fluctuations is in respect to

U.S. dollar denominated long-term debt incurred in connection with aircraft acquisitions.

Equity in Net Income (Loss) of Joint Venture

The Group had equity in net loss of joint venture of P17.018 million for the three months ended

March 31, 2015, P53.258 million or 147.0% lower than the P36.240 million equity in net income

of joint venture earned in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to the net loss

from current operations incurred by SIA Engineering (Philippines) Corporation (SIAEP) in the

first quarter of 2015.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by P4.619 million or 1.8% to P262.649 million for the three months

ended March 31, 2015 from P258.030 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Increase was due to higher interest expense incurred brought by the additional loans availed to

finance the acquisition of three Airbus A320 aircraft during the second and last quarters of 2014

and two Airbus A320 aircraft in 2015. This was partially offset by the slight strengthening of the

Philippine peso against the U.S. dollar as referenced by the appreciation of the Philippine peso to

an average of P44.42 per U.S. dollar for the three months ended March 31, 2015 from an average

of P44.88 per U.S. dollar last year based on the Philippine Dealing and Exchange Corporation

(PDEx) weighted average rates.

Income before Income Tax

As a result of the foregoing, the Group recorded income before income tax of P2.195 billion for

the three months ended March 31, 2015, higher by 2,763.5% or P2.118 billion than the

P76.654 million income before income tax posted for the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Benefit from Income Tax

Benefit from income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2015 amounted to

P29.954 million, of which, P36.055 million pertains to current income tax recognized as a result

of the taxable income for the first quarter of 2015. Benefit from deferred income tax amounted to

P66.009 million resulting from the recognition of deferred tax assets on future deductible amounts

during the period.

Net Income

Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 amounted to P2.225 billion, an increase

of 1,255.3% from the P164.164 million net income earned in the same period last year.

As of March 31, 2015, except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements and to the best of

the Group’s knowledge and belief, there are no material off-balance sheet transactions,

arrangements, obligations (including contingent obligations) and other relationships of the Group

with unconsolidated entities or other persons created during the reporting period that would have

a significant impact on the Group’s operations and/or financial condition.

Financial Position

March 31, 2015 versus December 31, 2014

As of March 31, 2015 the Group’s consolidated balance sheet remains solid, with net debt to

equity of 1.24 [total debt after deducting cash and cash equivalents (including financial assets

held-for-trading at fair value and available-for-sale assets) divided by total equity]. Consolidated

assets grew to P80.779 billion from P76.062 billion as of December 31, 2014 as the Group added

aircraft to its fleet. Equity grew to P=23.764 billion from P=21.539 billion in 2014, while book

value per share amounted to P=39.22 as of March 31, 2015 from P=35.55 as of December 31, 2014.

The Group’s cash requirements have been mainly sourced through cash flow from operations and

from borrowings. Net cash from operating activities amounted to P4.137 billion. As of

March 31, 2015, net cash used in investing activities amounted to P3.798 billion which included

payments in connection with the purchase of aircraft. Net cash provided by financing activities

amounted to P1.725 billion which comprised of proceeds from long-term debt of P3.099 billion

net of repayments of long-term debt amounting to P1.374 billion.

As of March 31, 2015, except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements and to the best of

the Group’s knowledge and belief, there are no events that will trigger direct or contingent

financial obligation that is material to the Group, including any default or acceleration of an

obligation.

Consolidated Statements of Financial Position –March 31, 2015 versus December 31, 2014

52.1% increase in Cash and Cash Equivalents

Due to collections as a result of the expansion of the Group’s operations as evidenced by 20.7%

growth in revenues.

19.5% decrease in Receivables

Due to collection of various trade receivables and settlement receivable from Roar II.

Due to the acquisition of two Airbus A320 aircraft during the period.

2.9% decrease in Investment in Joint Ventures

0.4% decrease in Accounts Payable and Other Accrued Liabilities

Due to payments made during the period.

29.4% increase in Due to Related Parties

Due to increase in payables on purchases made from related parties.

11.2% increase in Unearned Transportation Revenue

Due to the increase in sale of passenger travel services.

5.5% decrease in Financial Liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

Due to the settlement of certain fuel derivative contracts with counterparties.

5.2% increase in Long-Term Debt (including Current Portion)

Due to additional loans availed to finance the purchase of two Airbus A320 aircraft acquired

during the period partially offset by the repayment of certain outstanding long-term debt in

accordance with the repayment schedule.

316.8% increase in Income Tax Payable

Due to higher income tax due for the first quarter of 2015 in excess of available creditable

withholding tax.

51.1% decrease in Deferred Tax Liabilities-net

Due mainly to the deferred tax benefits recognized for future deductible amounts on asset

retirement obligation and Minimum Corporate Income Tax (MCIT).

13.6% increase in Other Noncurrent Liabilities

Due to the accretion of asset retirement obligation and accrual for pension liability made during

the period.

16.9% increase in Retained Earnings

Due to net income during the period.

As of March 31, 2015, there are no significant elements of income that did not arise from the

Group’s continuing operations.

The Group generally records higher domestic revenue in January, March, April, May and

December as festivals and school holidays in the Philippines increase the Group’s seat load

factors in these periods. Accordingly, the Group’s revenue is relatively lower in July to September

due to decreased domestic travel during these months. Any prolonged disruption in the Group’s

operations during such peak periods could materially affect its financial condition and/or results

of operations.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The Group sets certain performance measures to gauge its operating performance periodically and

to assess its overall state of corporate health. Listed below are major performance measures,

which the Group has identified as reliable performance indicators. Analyses are employed by

comparisons and measurements based on the financial data as of March 31, 2015 and

December 31, 2014 and for three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014:

Key Financial Indicators 2015 2014

Total Revenue P14.198 billion P11.764 billion

Pre-tax Core Net Income P2. 565 billion P0.315 billion

EBITDAR Margin 36.4% 20.7%

Cost per Available Seat Kilometre (ASK) (Php) 1.89 2.47

Cost per ASK (U.S. cents) 4.25 5.50

Seat Load Factor 78.9% 82.5%

The manner by which the Group calculates the above key performance indicators for both 2015

and 2014 is as follows:

Total Revenue The sum of revenue obtained from the sale of air

transportation services for passengers and cargo and

ancillary revenue

Pre-tax Core Net Income Operating income after deducting net interest

expense and adding equity income/loss of joint

venture

EBITDAR Margin Operating income after adding depreciation and

amortization, provision for ARO and aircraft and

engine lease expenses divided by total revenue

Cost per ASK Operating expenses, including depreciation and

amortization expenses and the costs of operating

leases, but excluding fuel hedging effects, foreign

exchange effects, net financing charges and taxation,

divided by ASK

Seat Load Factor Total number of passengers divided by the total

number of actual seats on actual flights flown

As of March 31, 2015, except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements and to the best of the

Group’s knowledge and belief, there are no known trends, demands, commitments, events or

uncertainties that may have a material impact on the Group’s liquidity.

As of March 31, 2015 except as otherwise disclosed in the financial statements and to the best of the

Group’s knowledge and belief, there are no events that would have a material adverse impact on the

Group’s net sales, revenues and income from operations and future operations.

CEBU AIR, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Corporate Information

Cebu Air, Inc. (the Parent Company) was incorporated and organized in the Philippines on

August 26, 1988 to carry on, by means of aircraft of every kind and description, the general

business of a private carrier or charter engaged in the transportation of passengers, mail,

merchandise and freight, and to acquire, purchase, lease, construct, own, maintain, operate and

dispose of airplanes and other aircraft of every kind and description, and also to own, purchase,

construct, lease, operate and dispose of hangars, transportation depots, aircraft service stations and

agencies, and other objects and service of a similar nature which may be necessary, convenient or

useful as an auxiliary to aircraft transportation. The principal place of business of the Parent

Company is at 2nd Floor, Doña Juanita Marquez Lim Building, Osmeña Boulevard, Cebu City.

The Parent Company has ten special purpose entities (SPE) that it controls, namely: Cebu Aircraft

Leasing Limited (CALL), IBON Leasing Limited (ILL), Boracay Leasing Limited (BLL), Surigao

Leasing Limited (SLL), Sharp Aircraft Leasing Limited (SALL), Vector Aircraft Leasing Limited

(VALL) Panatag One Aircraft Leasing Limited (POALL), Panatag Two Aircraft Leasing Limited

(PTALL), Panatag Three Aircraft Leasing Limited (PTHALL) and Summit A Aircraft Leasing

Limited (SAALL). CALL, ILL, BLL, SLL, SALL, VALL, POALL, PTALL and PTHALL are

SPEs in which the Parent Company does not have equity interest. CALL, ILL, BLL, SLL, SALL,

VALL POALL, PTALL, PTHALL and SAALL acquired the passenger aircraft for lease to the

Parent Company under finance lease arrangements (Note 13) and funded the acquisitions through

long-term debt (Note 18).

On March 20, 2014, the Parent Company acquired 100% ownership of Tiger Airways Philippines

(TAP) (Note 7). The Parent Company, its ten SPEs and TAP (collectively known as “the Group”)

are consolidated for financial reporting purposes (Note 2).

The Parent Company’s common stock was listed with the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) on

October 26, 2010, the Parent Company’s initial public offering (IPO).

The Parent Company’s ultimate parent is JG Summit Holdings, Inc. (JGSHI). The Parent

Company is 66.15%-owned by CP Air Holdings, Inc. (CPAHI).

In 1991, pursuant to Republic Act (RA) No. 7151, the Parent Company was granted a franchise to

operate air transportation services, both domestic and international. In August 1997, the Office of

the President of the Philippines gave the Parent Company the status of official Philippine carrier to

operate international services. In September 2001, the Philippine Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB)

issued the permit to operate scheduled international services and a certificate of authority to

operate international charters.

The Parent Company is registered with the Board of Investments (BOI) as a new operator of air

transport on a pioneer and non-pioneer status. Under the terms of the registration and subject to

certain requirements, the Parent Company is entitled to certain fiscal and non-fiscal incentives,

including among others, an income tax holiday (ITH) for a period of four (4) to six (6) years.

Page 188: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 17 -

Prior to the grant of the ITH and in accordance with the Parent Company’s franchise, which

extends up to year 2031:

a. The Parent Company is subject to franchise tax of five percent (5%) of the gross revenue

derived from air transportation operations. For revenue earned from activities other than air

transportation, the Parent Company is subject to corporate income tax and to real property tax.

b. In the event that any competing individual, partnership or corporation received and enjoyed

tax privileges and other favorable terms which tended to place the Parent Company at any

disadvantage, then such privileges shall have been deemed by the fact itself of the Parent

Company’s tax privileges and shall operate equally in favor of the Parent Company.

On May 24, 2005, the Reformed-Value Added Tax (R-VAT) law was signed as RA No. 9337 or

the R-VAT Act of 2005. The R-VAT law took effect on November 1, 2005 following the

approval on October 19, 2005 of Revenue Regulation (RR) No. 16-2005 which provides for the

implementation of the rules of the R-VAT law. Among the relevant provisions of RA No. 9337

are the following:

a. The franchise tax of the Parent Company is abolished;

b. The Parent Company shall be subject to corporate income tax;

c. The Parent Company shall remain exempt from any taxes, duties, royalties, registration

license, and other fees and charges;

d. Change in corporate income tax rate from 32.00% to 35.00% for the next three years effective

on November 1, 2005, and 30.00% starting on January 1, 2009 and thereafter;

e. 70.00% cap on the input VAT that can be claimed against output VAT; and

f. Increase in the VAT rate imposed on goods and services from 10.00% to 12.00% effective

on February 1, 2006.

On November 21, 2006, the President signed into law RA No. 9361, which amends

Section 110 (B) of the Tax Code. This law, which became effective on December 13, 2006,

provides that if the input tax, inclusive of the input tax carried over from the previous quarter

exceeds the output tax, the excess input tax shall be carried over to the succeeding quarter or

quarters. The Department of Finance through the Bureau of Internal Revenue issued

RR No. 2-2007 to implement the provisions of the said law. Based on the regulation, the

amendment shall apply to the quarterly VAT returns to be filed after the effectivity of

RA No. 9361.

On December 16, 2008, the Parent Company was registered as a Clark Freeport Zone (CFZ)

enterprise and committed to provide air transportation services both domestic and international for

passengers and cargoes at the Diosdado Macapagal International Airport.

2. Basis of Preparation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared on a

historical cost basis, except for financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

(FVPL) and available-for-sale (AFS) investment that have been measured at fair value.

The financial statements of the Group are presented in Philippine Peso (P=), the Parent Company’s

functional and presentation currency. All amounts are rounded to the nearest peso unless

otherwise indicated.

Page 189: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 18 -

Statement of Compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in compliance with

Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS). The Group has adopted the new and revised

accounting standards, which became effective beginning January 1, 2014, in the accompanying

financial statements.

On March 20, 2014, the Group finalized its acquisition of TAP. The acquisition was accounted

for as a business combination (Note 7). Accordingly, the Group finalized the purchase price

allocation.

Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 represent the

consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company, the SPEs that it controls and its wholly

owned subsidiary TAP. Consolidation of TAP started on March 20, 2014 when the Group gained

control (Note 7).

Control is achieved when the Parent Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from

its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over

the investee. Specifically, the Parent Company controls an investee if, and only if, the Parent

Company has:

power over the investee (that is, existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the

relevant activities of the investee);

exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns

When the Parent Company has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee,

the Parent Company considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has

power over an investee, including:

the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

rights arising from other contractual arrangements; and

the Parent Company’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Parent Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances

indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control. Consolidation of a

subsidiary begins when the Parent Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when

the Parent Company loses control of the subsidiary. Assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the

a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the consolidated statement of

comprehensive income from the date the Parent Company gains control until the date the Parent

Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income (OCI) are attributed to the

equity holders of the Parent Company of the Group and to the non-controlling interests, even if

this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. The financial statements of

the subsidiaries are prepared for the same balance sheet date as the Parent Company, using

consistent accounting policies. All intragroup assets, liabilities, equity, income and expenses and

cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Group are eliminated on consolidation.

Page 190: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 19 -

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a loss of control, is accounted for as an

equity transaction. If the Parent Company loses control over a subsidiary, it:

Derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

Derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interests;

Derecognizes the cumulative translation adjustments recorded in equity;

Recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;

Recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;

Recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

Reclassifies the Parent Company’s share of components previously recognized in OCI to

profit or loss or retained earnings, as appropriate, as would be required if the Parent Company

had directly disposed of the related assets and liabilities.

The consolidated financial statements are prepared using uniform accounting policies for like

transactions and other events in similar circumstances. All significant intercompany transactions

and balances, including intercompany profits and unrealized profits and losses, are eliminated in

the consolidation.

3. Changes in Accounting Policies

The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year, except for

the adoption of new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations from International

Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) that are discussed below. Except as

otherwise indicated, the adoption of the new and amended PFRS and Philippine Interpretations did

not have any effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Group.

Investment Entities (Amendments to PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements, PFRS 12,

Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities, and PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements)

These amendments provide an exception to the consolidation requirement for entities that

meet the definition of an investment entity under PFRS 10. The exception to consolidation

requires investment entities to account for subsidiaries at fair value through profit or loss. The

amendments must be applied retrospectively, subject to certain transition relief. The

amendments have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial

Liabilities

These amendments clarify the meaning of ‘currently has a legally enforceable right to set-off’

and the criteria for non-simultaneous settlement mechanisms of clearing houses to qualify for

offsetting and are applied retrospectively. The amendments affect disclosure only and have no

impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PAS 36, Impairment of Assets - Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets

(Amendments)

These amendments remove the unintended consequences of PFRS 13 on the disclosures

required under PAS 36. In addition, these amendments require disclosure of the recoverable

amounts for the assets or cash-generating units (CGUs) for which impairment loss has been

recognized or reversed during the period. The amendments affect disclosures only and had no

impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Page 191: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 20 -

PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement - Novation of Derivatives and

Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments)

These amendments provide relief from discontinuing hedge accounting when novation of a

derivative designated as a hedging instrument meets certain criteria. The amendments have no

financial impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 21, Levies

IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers

payment, as identified by the relevant legislation, occurs. For a levy that is triggered upon

reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liability should be

anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. This interpretation has no

impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle)

In the 2010 - 2012 annual improvements cycle, seven amendments to six standards were issued,

which included an amendment to PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement. The amendment to

PFRS 13 is effective immediately and it clarifies that short-term receivables and payables with no

stated interest rates can be measured at invoice amounts when the effect of discounting is

immaterial. This amendment has no impact on the Group.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle)

In the 2011 - 2013 annual improvements cycle, four amendments to four standards were issued,

which included an amendment to PFRS 1, First-time Adoption of Philippine Financial Reporting

Standards-First-time Adoption of PFRS. The amendment to PFRS 1 is effective immediately. It

clarifies that an entity may choose to apply either a current standard or a new standard that is not

yet mandatory, but permits early application, provided either standard is applied consistently

throughout the periods presented in the entity’s first PFRS financial statements. This amendment

has no impact on the Group as it is not a first-time PFRS adopter.

Standards Issued but not yet Effective

The Group has not applied the following PFRS and Philippine Interpretations which are not yet

effective as of December 31, 2014. This list consists of standards and interpretations issued,

which the Group reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Group intends to adopt

those standards when they become effective. The Group does not expect the adoption of these

standards to have a significant impact in the consolidated financial statements, unless otherwise

stated.

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments - Classification and Measurement (2010 version)

PFRS 9 (2010 version) reflects the first phase on the replacement of PAS 39 and applies to the

classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities as defined in PAS 39,

Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. PFRS 9 requires all financial assets to

be measured at fair value at initial recognition. A debt financial asset may, if the fair value

option (FVO) is not invoked, be subsequently measured at amortized cost if it is held within a

business model that has the objective to hold the assets to collect the contractual cash flows

and its contractual terms give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of

principal and interest on the principal outstanding. All other debt instruments are

subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss. All equity financial assets are

measured at fair value either through other comprehensive income (OCI) or profit or loss.

Equity financial assets held for trading must be measured at fair value through profit or loss.

For FVO liabilities, the amount of change in the fair value of a liability that is attributable to

changes in credit risk must be presented in OCI. The remainder of the change in fair value is

presented in profit or loss, unless presentation of the fair value change in respect of the

liability’s credit risk in OCI would create or enlarge an accounting mismatch in profit or loss.

All other PAS 39 classification and measurement requirements for financial liabilities have

Page 192: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 21 -

been carried forward into PFRS 9, including the embedded derivative separation rules and the

criteria for using the FVO. The adoption of the first phase of PFRS 9 will have an effect on

the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial assets, but will potentially have no

impact on the classification and measurement of financial liabilities.

PFRS 9 (2010 version) is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2015.

This mandatory adoption date was moved to January 1, 2018 when the final version of

PFRS 9 was adopted by the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards Council (FRSC). Such

adoption, however, is still for approval by the Board of Accountancy (BOA).

Philippine Interpretation IFRIC 15, Agreement for Construction of Real Estate

This Philippine Interpretation, which may be early applied, covers accounting for revenue and

associated expenses by entities that undertake the construction of real estate directly or

through subcontractors. This Philippine Interpretation requires that revenue on construction of

real estate be recognized only upon completion, except when such contract qualifies as

construction contract to be accounted for under PAS 11, Construction Contracts, or involves

rendering of services in which case revenue is recognized based on stage of completion.

Contracts involving provision of services with the construction materials and where the risks

and reward of ownership are transferred to the buyer on a continuous basis will also be

accounted for based on stage of completion. The SEC and the FRSC have deferred the

effectivity of this interpretation until the final Revenue standard is issued by the International

Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and an evaluation of the requirements of the final

Revenue standard against the practices of the Philippine real estate industry is completed. The

adoption of the interpretation will have no impact on the Group’s financial position or

performance as the Group is not engaged in real estate businesses.

Effective January 1, 2015

PAS 19, Employee Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions

PAS 19 requires an entity to consider contributions from employees or third parties when

accounting for defined benefit plans. Where the contributions are linked to service, they

should be attributed to periods of service as a negative benefit. These amendments clarify

that, if the amount of the contributions is independent of the number of years of service, an

entity is permitted to recognize such contributions as a reduction in the service cost in the

period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to the periods of

service. The amendments will have no impact on the Group’s financial statements.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle)

The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) are effective for annual periods beginning

on or after January 1, 2015 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

PFRS 2, Share-based Payment - Definition of Vesting Condition

This improvement is applied prospectively and clarifies various issues relating to the

definitions of performance and service conditions which are vesting conditions, including:

A performance condition must contain a service condition

A performance target must be met while the counterparty is rendering service

A performance target may relate to the operations or activities of an entity, or to those of

another entity in the same group

A performance condition may be a market or non-market condition

If the counterparty, regardless of the reason, ceases to provide service during the vesting

period, the service condition is not satisfied.

This amendment does not apply to the Group as it has no share-based payments.

Page 193: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 22 -

PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Accounting for Contingent Consideration in a Business

Combination

The amendment is applied prospectively for business combinations for which the acquisition

date is on or after July 1, 2014. It clarifies that a contingent consideration that is not classified

as equity is subsequently measured at fair value through profit or loss whether or not it falls

within the scope of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement

(or PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, if early adopted). The Group shall consider this

amendment for future business combinations.

PFRS 8, Operating Segments - Aggregation of Operating Segments and Reconciliation of the

Total of the Reportable Segments’ Assets to the Entity’s Assets

The amendments are applied retrospectively and clarify that:

An entity must disclose the judgments made by management in applying the aggregation

criteria in the standard, including a brief description of operating segments that have been

aggregated and the economic characteristics (e.g., sales and gross margins) used to assess

whether the segments are ‘similar’.

The reconciliation of segment assets to total assets is only required to be disclosed if the

reconciliation is reported to the chief operating decision maker, similar to the required

disclosure for segment liabilities.

The amendments affect disclosures only and have no impact on the Group’s financial position

or performance.

PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment - Revaluation Method - Proportionate Restatement of

Accumulated Depreciation

The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies in PAS 16 and PAS 38 that the asset

may be revalued by reference to the observable data on either the gross or the net carrying

amount. In addition, the accumulated depreciation or amortization is the difference between

the gross and carrying amounts of the asset. The amendment will have no impact on the

Group’s financial position or performance.

PAS 24, Related Party Disclosures - Key Management Personnel

The amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that a management entity, which is an

entity that provides key management personnel services, is a related party subject to the

related party disclosures. In addition, an entity that uses a management entity is required to

disclose the expenses incurred for management services. The amendments affect disclosures

only and will have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2011-2013 cycle)

The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2010-2012 cycle) are effective for annual periods beginning

on or after January 1, 2015 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

PFRS 3, Business Combinations - Scope Exceptions for Joint Arrangements

The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies the following regarding the scope

exceptions within PFRS 3:

Joint arrangements, not just joint ventures, are outside the scope of PFRS 3.

This scope exception applies only to the accounting in the financial statements of the joint

arrangement itself.

The amendment will have no impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Page 194: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 23 -

PFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement - Portfolio Exception

The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that the portfolio exception in PFRS 13

can be applied not only to financial assets and financial liabilities, but also to other contracts

within the scope of PAS 39. The amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’s

financial position or performance.

PAS 40, Investment Property

The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that PFRS 3, and not the description of

ancillary services in PAS 40, is used to determine if the transaction is the purchase of an asset

or business combination. The description of ancillary services in PAS 40 only differentiates

between investment property and owner-occupied property (i.e., property, plant and

equipment). The amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’s financial position

or performance.

Effective January 1, 2016

PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 38, Intangible Assets - Clarification of

Acceptable Methods of Depreciation and Amortization (Amendments)

The amendments clarify the principle in PAS 16 and PAS 38 that revenue reflects a pattern of

economic benefits that are generated from operating a business (of which the asset is part)

rather than the economic benefits that are consumed through use of the asset. As a result, a

revenue-based method cannot be used to depreciate property, plant and equipment and may

only be used in very limited circumstances to amortize intangible assets. The amendments are

effective prospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early

adoption permitted. The amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’s financial

position or performance.

PAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, and PAS 41, Agriculture - Bearer Plants

(Amendments)

The amendments change the accounting requirements for biological assets that meet the

definition of bearer plants. Under the amendments, biological assets that meet the definition

of bearer plants will no longer be within the scope of PAS 41. Instead, PAS 16 will apply.

After initial recognition, bearer plants will be measured under PAS 16 at accumulated cost

(before maturity) and using either the cost model or revaluation model (after maturity). The

amendments also require that produce that grows on bearer plants will remain in the scope of

PAS 41 measured at fair value less costs to sell. For government grants related to bearer

plants, PAS 20, Accounting for Government Grants and Disclosure of Government

Assistance, will apply. The amendments are retrospectively effective for annual periods

beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption permitted. The amendment will

have no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PAS 27, Separate Financial Statements - Equity Method in Separate Financial Statements

(Amendments)

The amendments will allow entities to use the equity method to account for investments in

subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates in their separate financial statements. Entities

already applying PFRS and electing to change to the equity method in its separate financial

statements will have to apply that change retrospectively. For first-time adopters of PFRS

electing to use the equity method in its separate financial statements, they will be required to

apply this method from the date of transition to PFRS. These amendments are not expected to

have any impact to the Group.

Page 195: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 24 -

PFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements and PAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint

Ventures - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint

Venture

These amendments address an acknowledged inconsistency between the requirements in

PFRS 10 and those in PAS 28 (2011) in dealing with the sale or contribution of assets between

an investor and its associate or joint venture. The amendments require that a full gain or loss

is recognized when a transaction involves a business (whether it is housed in a subsidiary or

not). A partial gain or loss is recognized when a transaction involves assets that do not

constitute a business, even if these assets are housed in a subsidiary. These amendments are

effective from annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2016. The amendment will

have no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PFRS 11, Joint Arrangements - Accounting for Acquisitions of Interests in Joint Operations

(Amendments)

The amendments to PFRS 11 require that a joint operator accounting for the acquisition of an

interest in a joint operation, in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business

must apply the relevant PFRS 3 principles for business combinations accounting. The

amendments also clarify that a previously held interest in a joint operation is not remeasured

on the acquisition of an additional interest in the same joint operation while joint control is

retained. In addition, a scope exclusion has been added to PFRS 11 to specify that the

amendments do not apply when the parties sharing joint control, including the reporting entity,

are under common control of the same ultimate controlling party.

The amendments apply to both the acquisition of the initial interest in a joint operation and the

acquisition of any additional interests in the same joint operation and are prospectively

effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with early adoption

permitted. These amendments are not expected to have any impact to the Group.

PFRS 14, Regulatory Deferral Accounts

PFRS 14 is an optional standard that allows an entity, whose activities are subject to rate-

regulation, to continue applying most of its existing accounting policies for regulatory deferral

account balances upon its first-time adoption of PFRS. Entities that adopt PFRS 14 must

present the regulatory deferral accounts as separate line items on the statement of financial

position and present movements in these account balances as separate line items in the

statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income. The standard requires disclosures

on the nature of, and risks associated with, the entity’s rate-regulation and the effects of that

rate-regulation on its financial statements. PFRS 14 is effective for annual periods beginning

on or after January 1, 2016. Since the Group is an existing PFRS preparer, this standard

would not apply.

Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2012-2014 cycle)

The Annual Improvements to PFRSs (2012-2014 cycle) are effective for annual periods beginning

on or after January 1, 2016 and are not expected to have a material impact on the Group.

PFRS 5, Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations - Changes in

Methods of Disposal

The amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that changing from a disposal through

sale to a disposal through distribution to owners and vice-versa should not be considered to be

a new plan of disposal, rather it is a continuation of the original plan. There is, therefore, no

interruption of the application of the requirements in PFRS 5. The amendment also clarifies

that changing the disposal method does not change the date of classification. The amendment

will have no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

PFRS 7, Financial Instruments: Disclosures - Servicing Contracts

PFRS 7 requires an entity to provide disclosures for any continuing involvement in a

transferred asset that is derecognized in its entirety. The amendment clarifies that a servicing

contract that includes a fee can constitute continuing involvement in a financial asset. An

entity must assess the nature of the fee and arrangement against the guidance in PFRS 7 in

order to assess whether the disclosures are required. The amendment is to be applied such that

the assessment of which servicing contracts constitute continuing involvement will need to be

done retrospectively. However, comparative disclosures are not required to be provided for

any period beginning before the annual period in which the entity first applies the

amendments. The amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’s financial

position or performance.

PFRS 7 - Applicability of the Amendments to PFRS 7 to Condensed Interim Financial

Statements

This amendment is applied retrospectively and clarifies that the disclosures on offsetting of

financial assets and financial liabilities are not required in the condensed interim financial

report unless they provide a significant update to the information reported in the most recent

annual report. The amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’s financial

position or performance.

PAS 19, Employee Benefits - regional market issue regarding discount rate

This amendment is applied prospectively and clarifies that market depth of high quality

corporate bonds is assessed based on the currency in which the obligation is denominated,

rather than the country where the obligation is located. When there is no deep market for high

quality corporate bonds in that currency, government bond rates must be used. The

amendment will have no significant impact on the Group’s financial position or performance.

Effective January 1, 2018

PFRS 9, Financial Instrument - Hedge Accounting and amendments to PFRS 9, PFRS 7 and

PAS 39 (2013 version)

PFRS 9 (2013 version) already includes the third phase of the project to replace PAS 39 which

pertains to hedge accounting. This version of PFRS 9 replaces the rules-based hedge

accounting model of PAS 39 with a more principles-based approach. Changes include

replacing the rules-based hedge effectiveness test with an objectives-based test that focuses on

the economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, and the effect

of credit risk on that economic relationship; allowing risk components to be designated as the

hedged item, not only for financial items but also for non-financial items, provided that the

risk component is separately identifiable and reliably measurable; and allowing the time value

of an option, the forward element of a forward contract and any foreign currency basis spread

to be excluded from the designation of a derivative instrument as the hedging instrument and

accounted for as costs of hedging. PFRS 9 also requires more extensive disclosures for hedge

accounting.

PFRS 9 (2013 version) has no mandatory effective date. The mandatory effective date of

January 1, 2018 was eventually set when the final version of PFRS 9 was adopted by the

FRSC. The adoption of the final version of PFRS 9, however, is still for approval by BOA.

The adoption of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the

Group’s financial assets but will have no impact on the classification and measurement of the

Group’s financial liabilities. The adoption will also have an effect on the Group’s application

of hedge accounting. The Group is currently assessing the impact of adopting this standard.

PFRS 9, Financial Instruments (2014 or final version)

In July 2014, the final version of PFRS 9, Financial Instruments, was issued. PFRS 9 reflects

all phases of the financial instruments project and replaces PAS 39, Financial Instruments:

Recognition and Measurement, and all previous versions of PFRS 9. The standard introduces

new requirements for classification and measurement, impairment, and hedge accounting.

PFRS 9 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018, with early

application permitted. Retrospective application is required, but comparative information is

not compulsory. Early application of previous versions of PFRS 9 is permitted if the date of

initial application is before February 1, 2015.

The adoption of PFRS 9 will have an effect on the classification and measurement of the

Group’s financial assets and impairment methodology for financial assets, but will have no

impact on the classification and measurement of the Group’s financial liabilities.

The following new standard issued by the IASB has not yet been adopted by the FRSC

IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 was issued in May 2014 and establishes a new five-step model that will apply to

revenue arising from contracts with customers. Under IFRS 15 revenue is recognized at an

amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for

transferring goods or services to a customer. The principles in IFRS 15 provide a more

structured approach to measuring and recognizing revenue. The new revenue standard is

applicable to all entities and will supersede all current revenue recognition requirements under

IFRS. Either a full or modified retrospective application is required for annual periods

beginning on or after January 1, 2017 with early adoption permitted. The Group is currently

assessing the impact of IFRS 15 and plans to adopt the new standard on the required effective

date once adopted locally.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the

Group and the revenue can be reliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the

consideration received, excluding discounts, rebates and other sales taxes or duty. The following

specific recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognized:

Sale of air transportation services

Passenger ticket and cargo waybill sales are initially recorded under ‘Unearned transportation

revenue’ account in the consolidated statement of financial position until recognized under

Revenue account in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income when carriage is

provided or when the flight is uplifted.

Ancillary revenue

Revenue from services incidental to the transportation of passengers, cargo, mail and merchandise

are recognized when transactions are carried out.

Interest income

Interest on cash, cash equivalents, short-term cash investments and debt securities classified as

financial assets at FVPL is recognized as the interest accrues using the effective interest method.

Expense Recognition

Expenses are recognized when it is probable that decrease in future economic benefits related to

decrease in an asset or an increase in liability has occurred and the decrease in economic benefits

Page 198: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 27 -

can be measured reliably. Expenses that arise in the course of ordinary regular activities of the

Group include, among others, the operating expenses on the Group’s operation.

The commission related to the sale of air transportation services is recognized as outright expense

upon the receipt of payment from customers, and is included under ‘Reservation and sales’

account.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses constitute cost of administering the business. These are

recognized as expenses when it is probable that a decrease in future economic benefit related to a

decrease in an asset or an increase in a liability has occurred and the decrease in economic benefits

can be measured reliably.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash represents cash on hand and in banks. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid

investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with original maturities of

three months or less from dates of placement and that are subject to an insignificant risk of

changes in value. Cash equivalents include short-term investment that can be pre-terminated and

readily convertible to known amount of cash and that are subject to an insignificant risk of

changes in value. Cash and cash equivalents, excluding cash on hand, are classified and

accounted for as loans and receivables.

Financial Instruments

Date of recognition

Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within the time frame

established by regulation or convention in the marketplace are recognized using the settlement

date accounting. Derivatives are recognized on a trade date basis.

Initial recognition of financial instruments

Financial instruments are recognized initially at the fair value of the consideration given. Except

for financial instruments at FVPL, the initial measurement of financial assets includes transaction

costs. The Group classifies its financial assets into the following categories: financial assets at

FVPL, held-to-maturity (HTM) investments, AFS investments and loans and receivables.

Financial liabilities are classified into financial liabilities at FVPL and other financial liabilities

carried at cost or amortized cost. The Group has no HTM and AFS investments as of

March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

The classification depends on the purpose for which the investments were acquired and whether

they are quoted in an active market. Management determines the classification of its investments

at initial recognition and, where allowed and appropriate, re-evaluates such designation at every

reporting date.

Determination of fair value

The fair value of financial instruments traded in active markets at the statement of financial

position date is based on their quoted market price or dealer price quotations (bid price for long

positions and ask price for short positions), without any deduction for transaction costs. When

current bid and ask prices are not available, the price of the most recent transaction provides

evidence of the current fair value as long as there has not been a significant change in economic

circumstances since the time of the transaction.

For all other financial instruments not listed in an active market, the fair value is determined by

using appropriate valuation techniques. Valuation techniques include net present value

techniques, comparison to similar instruments for which market observable prices exist, options

pricing models and other relevant valuation models. Any difference noted between the fair value

Page 199: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 28 -

and the transaction price is treated as expense or income, unless it qualifies for recognition as

some type of asset or liability.

The Group uses the following hierarchy for determining and disclosing the fair value of financial

instruments by valuation technique:

Level 1: quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: other techniques for which all inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded

fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly

Level 3: techniques which use inputs which have a significant effect on the recorded fair value

that are not based on observable market data.

‘Day 1’ profit or loss

Where the transaction price in a non-active market is different from the fair value based on other

observable current market transactions in the same instrument or based on a valuation technique

whose variables include only data from an observable market, the Group recognizes the difference

between the transaction price and fair value (a ‘Day 1’ profit or loss) in profit or loss unless it

qualifies for recognition as some other type of asset or liability. In cases where the transaction

price used is made of data which is not observable, the difference between the transaction price

model value is only recognized in profit or loss, when the inputs become observable or when the

instrument is derecognized. For each transaction, the Group determines the appropriate method of

recognizing the ‘Day 1’ profit or loss amount.

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL include financial assets and financial liabilities

held for trading purposes, derivative instruments or those designated upon initial recognition as at

FVPL. Financial assets and financial liabilities are designated by management on initial

recognition when any of the following criteria are met:

The designation eliminates or significantly reduces the inconsistent treatment that would

otherwise arise from measuring the assets or liabilities or recognizing gains or losses on them

on a different basis; or

The assets or liabilities are part of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both

which are managed and their performance are evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance

with a documented risk management or investment strategy; or

The financial instrument contains an embedded derivative, unless the embedded derivative

does not significantly modify the cash flows or it is clear, with little or no analysis, that it

would not be separately recorded.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Group’s financial assets at FVPL consist of

derivative liabilities (Note 9).

Financial assets and financial liabilities at FVPL are presented in the consolidated statement of

financial position at fair value. Changes in fair value are reflected in profit or loss. Interest earned

or incurred is recorded in interest income or expense, respectively, while dividend income is

recorded in other revenue according to the terms of the contract, or when the right of the payment

has been established.

Derivatives recorded at FVPL

The Group is counterparty to certain derivative contracts such as commodity options. Such

derivative financial instruments are initially recorded at fair value on the date at which the

derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently re-measured at fair value. Any gains or

losses arising from changes in fair values of derivatives (except those accounted for as accounting

Page 200: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 29 -

hedges) are taken directly to profit or loss. Derivatives are carried as assets when the fair value is

positive and as liabilities when the fair value is negative.

For the purpose of hedge accounting, hedges are classified primarily as either: (a) a hedge of the

fair value of an asset, liability or a firm commitment (fair value hedge); or (b) a hedge of the

exposure to variability in cash flows attributable to an asset or liability or a forecasted transaction

(cash flow hedge). The Group did not apply hedge accounting on its derivative transactions for

the three months ended March 31, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014.

The Group enters into fuel derivatives to manage its exposure to fuel price fluctuations. Such fuel

derivatives are not designated as accounting hedges. These derivatives are entered into for risk

management purposes. The gains or losses on these instruments are accounted for directly as

charges to or credits against current operations under ‘Fuel hedging gains (losses)’ account in

profit or loss.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Group has no embedded derivatives.

AFS investments

AFS investments are those non-derivative investments which are designated as such or do not

qualify to be classified or designated as financial assets at FVPL, HTM investments or loans and

receivables. They are purchased and held indefinitely, and may be sold in response to liquidity

requirements or changes in market conditions.

After initial measurement, AFS investments are subsequently measured at fair value.

The unrealized gains and losses are recognized directly in equity [other comprehensive income

(loss)] under ‘Net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS investments’ account in the statement of financial

position. When the investment is disposed of, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized

in the statement of comprehensive income is recognized in the statement of income. Where the

Group holds more than one investment in the same security they are deemed to be disposed of on

a first-in first-out basis. Dividends earned while holding AFS investments are recognized in the

statement of income when the right of the payment has been established. The losses arising from

impairment of such investments are recognized in the statement of income and removed from the

‘Net unrealized gain (loss) on AFS investments’ account.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Group has no AFS investments.

Receivables

Receivables are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments and fixed

maturities that are not quoted in an active market. After initial measurement, receivables are

subsequently carried at amortized cost using the effective interest method less any allowance for

impairment loss. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into account any discount or premium on

acquisition, and includes fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate (EIR) and

transaction costs. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss, when the receivables are

derecognized or impaired, as well as through the amortization process.

This accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s trade and other receivables (Note 10) and

certain refundable deposits (Note 16).

Financial liabilities

Issued financial instruments or their components, which are not designated at FVPL are classified

as other financial liabilities where the substance of the contractual arrangement results in the

Group having an obligation either to deliver cash or another financial asset to the holder, or to

satisfy the obligation other than by the exchange of a fixed amount of cash or another financial

asset for a fixed number of own equity shares. The components of issued financial instruments

Page 201: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 30 -

that contain both liability and equity elements are accounted for separately, with the equity

component being assigned the residual amount after deducting from the instrument as a whole the

amount separately determined as the fair value of the liability component on the date of issue.

After initial measurement, other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at cost or

amortized cost using the effective interest method. Amortized cost is calculated by taking into

account any discount or premium on the issue and fees that are an integral part of the EIR. Any

effects of restatement of foreign currency-denominated liabilities are recognized in profit or loss.

This accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s accounts payable and other accrued

liabilities, long-term debt, and other obligations that meet the above definition

(Notes 17, 18 and 19).

Impairment of Financial Assets

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset

or group of financial assets is impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is deemed

to be impaired if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more

events that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred ‘loss event’) and that

loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the

group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment may include

indications that the borrower or a group of borrowers is experiencing significant financial

difficulty, default or delinquency in interest or principal payments, the probability that they will

enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization and where observable data indicate that there is

a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears or economic

conditions that correlate with defaults.

Assets carried at amortized cost

If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on financial assets carried at amortized cost

(i.e., receivables) has been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between

the assets’ carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the

asset’s original EIR. Time value is generally not considered when the effect of discounting is not

material. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account.

The amount of the loss shall be recognized in profit or loss. The asset, together with the

associated allowance accounts, is written-off when there is no realistic prospect of future recovery.

The Group first assesses whether objective evidence of impairment exists individually for

financial assets that are individually significant, and collectively for financial assets that are not

individually significant. If it is determined that no objective evidence of impairment exists for an

individually assessed financial asset, whether significant or not, the asset is included in a group of

financial assets with similar credit risk characteristics and that group of financial assets is

collectively assessed for impairment. Assets that are individually assessed for impairment and for

which an impairment loss is or continues to be recognized are not included in the collective

assessment of impairment.

If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be

related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognized, the previously

recognized impairment loss is reversed. Any subsequent reversal of an impairment loss is

recognized in profit or loss to the extent that the carrying value of the asset does not exceed its

amortized cost at the reversal date.

The Group performs a regular review of the age and status of these accounts, designed to identify

accounts with objective evidence of impairment and provide the appropriate allowance for

impairment loss. The review is accomplished using a combination of specific and collective

assessment approaches, with the impairment loss being determined for each risk grouping

identified by the Group.

- 31 -

AFS investments

The Group assesses at each reporting date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset

or group of financial assets is impaired. In the case of debt instruments classified as AFS

investments, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at

amortized cost. Interest continues to be accrued at the original EIR on the reduced carrying

amount of the asset and is recorded under interest income in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent

year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be objectively related to an

event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in profit or loss, the impairment loss is

also reversed through profit or loss.

For equity investments classified as AFS investments, objective evidence would include a

significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investments below its cost. The

determination of what is significant and prolonged is subject to judgment. Where there is

evidence of impairment, the cumulative loss measured as the difference between the acquisition

cost and the current fair value, less any impairment loss on that investment previously recognized

is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss. Impairment losses

on equity investments are not reversed through the statement of comprehensive income. Increases

in fair value after impairment are recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Derecognition of Financial Instruments

Financial assets

A financial asset (or, where applicable a part of a financial asset or part of a group of financial

assets) is derecognized where:

the rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired;

the Group retains the right to receive cash flows from the asset, but has assumed an obligation

to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement;

or

the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the asset and either: (a) has

transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership and retained control over the

asset; or (b) has neither transferred nor retained the risks and rewards of the asset but has

transferred the control over the asset.

When the Group has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from an asset or has entered into a

pass-through arrangement, and has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and

rewards of the asset nor transferred control over the asset, the asset is recognized to the extent of

the Group’s continuing involvement in the asset. Continuing involvement that takes the form of a

guarantee over the transferred asset is measured at the lower of original carrying amount of the

asset and the maximum amount of consideration that the Group could be required to repay.

Financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged,

cancelled or has expired. When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same

lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially

modified, such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability

and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts is

recognized in profit or loss.

Offsetting Financial Instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the consolidated statement

of financial position if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the

recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the asset and

settle the liability simultaneously. This is not generally the case with master netting agreements;

thus, the related assets and liabilities are presented gross in the consolidated statement of financial

position.

Page 203: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 32 -

Expendable Parts, Fuel, Materials and Supplies

Expendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies are stated at lower of cost and net realizable value

(NRV). Cost of flight equipment expendable parts, materials and supplies are stated at acquisition

cost determined on a moving average cost method. Fuel is stated at cost on a weighted average

cost method. NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less estimated

costs to sell.

Business Combinations and Goodwill

PFRS 3 provides that if the initial accounting for a business combination can be determined only

provisionally by the end of the period in which the combination is effected because either the fair

values to be assigned to the acquiree’s identifiable assets, liabilities or contingent liabilities or the

cost of the combination can be determined only provisionally, the acquirer shall account for the

combination using those provisional values. The acquirer shall recognize any adjustments to those

provisional values as a result of completing the initial accounting within twelve months of the

acquisition date as follows: (i) the carrying amount of the identifiable asset, liability or contingent

liability that is recognized or adjusted as a result of completing the initial accounting shall be

calculated as if its fair value at the acquisition date had been recognized from that date;

(ii) goodwill or any gain recognized shall be adjusted by an amount equal to the adjustment to the

fair value at the acquisition date of the identifiable asset, liability or contingent liability being

recognized or adjusted; and (iii) comparative information presented for the periods before the

initial accounting for the combination is complete shall be presented as if the initial accounting has

been completed from the acquisition date.

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The cost of an acquisition

is measured as the aggregate of the consideration transferred measured at acquisition date fair

value and the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree. For each business

combination, the Group elects whether to measure the non-controlling interests in the acquiree at

fair value or at the proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related

costs are expensed as incurred and included in administrative expenses.

When the Group acquires a business, it assesses the financial assets and liabilities assumed for

appropriate classification and designation in accordance with the contractual terms, economic

circumstances and pertinent conditions as at the acquisition date. This includes the separation of

embedded derivatives in host contracts by the acquiree.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, any previously held equity interest is remeasured

at its acquisition date fair value and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at fair value at

the acquisition date. Contingent consideration classified as an asset or liability that is a financial

instrument and within the scope of PAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and

Measurement, is measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized either in profit or

loss or as a change to OCI. If the contingent consideration is not within the scope of PAS 39, it is

measured in accordance with the appropriate IFRS. Contingent consideration that is classified as

equity is not remeasured and subsequent settlement is accounted for within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured at cost, being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration

transferred and the amount recognized for non-controlling interests, and any previous interest

held, over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. If the fair value of the net

assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group re-assesses

whether it has correctly identified all of the assets acquired and all of the liabilities assumed and

reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognized at the acquisition date. If

the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate

consideration transferred, then the gain is recognized in profit or loss.

Page 204: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 33 -

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the

acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s CGU that are expected to benefit from the

combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those

units.

On March 20, 2014, the Parent Company acquired 100% shares of TAP in which total

consideration amounted to P=265.1 million and goodwill recognized as a result of the acquisition

amounted to P=566.8 million (Notes 7 and 15).

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation, amortization and

impairment loss, if any. The initial cost of property and equipment comprises its purchase price,

any related capitalizable borrowing costs attributed to progress payments incurred on account of

aircraft acquisition under construction and other directly attributable costs of bringing the asset to

its working condition and location for its intended use.

Subsequent costs are capitalized as part of ‘Property and equipment’ account only when it is

probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost

of the item can be measured reliably. Subsequent costs such as actual costs of heavy maintenance

visits for passenger aircraft are capitalized and depreciated based on the estimated number of years

or flying hours, whichever is applicable, until the next major overhaul or inspection. Generally,

heavy maintenance visits are required every five to six years for airframe and ten years or 20,000

flight cycles, whichever comes first, for landing gear. All other repairs and maintenance are

charged against current operations as incurred.

Pre-delivery payments for the construction of aircraft are initially recorded as Construction

in-progress when paid to the counterparty. Construction in-progress are transferred to the related

‘Property and equipment’ account when the construction or installation and related activities

necessary to prepare the property and equipment for their intended use are completed, and the

property and equipment are ready for service. Construction in-progress is not depreciated until

such time when the relevant assets are completed and available for use.

Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment commence once the property and

equipment are available for use and are computed using the straight-line method over the

estimated useful lives (EULs) of the assets, regardless of utilization.

The EULs of property and equipment of the Group follows:

Passenger aircraft* 15 years

Engines 15 years

Rotables 15 years

Ground support equipment 5 years

EDP Equipment, mainframe and peripherals 3 years

Transportation equipment 5 years

Furniture, fixtures and office equipment 5 years

Communication equipment 5 years

Special tools 5 years

Maintenance and test equipment 5 years

Other equipment 5 years

*With residual value of 15.00%

Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of their EULs or the corresponding lease

terms.

Page 205: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 34 -

An item of property and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic

benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on

derecognition of the asset (calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the

carrying amount of the item) is included in profit or loss, in the year the item is derecognized.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation and amortization are

reviewed and adjusted, if appropriate, at each financial year-end.

Intangible Assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of

intangible assets acquired in a business combination is their fair value at the date of acquisition

(Notes 7 and 16).

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment

annually, either individually or at the CGU level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed

annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in

useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis. Gains or losses arising from

derecognition of an intangible asset are measured as the difference between the net disposal

proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in the statement of profit or loss

when the asset is derecognized.

The intangible asset of the Group has indefinite useful lives.

Aircraft Maintenance and Overhaul Cost

The Group recognizes aircraft maintenance and overhaul expenses in accordance with the

contractual terms.

The maintenance contracts are classified into two: (a) those based on time and material basis

(TMB); and (b) power-by-the-hour (PBH) contract. For maintenance contract under TMB, the

Group recognizes expenses based on expense as incurred method. For maintenance contract under

PBH, the Group recognizes expense on an accrual basis.

ARO

The Group is contractually required under various lease contracts to restore certain leased aircraft

to its original condition and to bear the cost of restoration at the end of the contract period. The

contractual obligation includes regular aircraft maintenance, overhaul and restoration of the leased

aircraft to its original condition. The event that gives rise to the obligation is the actual flying

hours of the asset as used, as the usage determines the timing and nature of the entity completes

the overhaul and restoration. Regular aircraft maintenance is accounted for as expense when

incurred, while overhaul and restoration are accounted on an accrual basis.

If there is a commitment related to maintenance of aircraft held under operating lease

arrangements, a provision is made during the lease term for the lease return obligations specified

within those lease agreements. The provision is made based on historical experience,

manufacturers’ advice and if relevant, contractual obligations, to determine the present value of

the estimated future major airframe inspections cost and engine overhauls.

Advance payment for materials for the restoration of the aircraft is initially recorded as Advances

to Supplier. This is recouped when the expenses for restoration of aircraft have been incurred.

The Group regularly assesses the provision for ARO and adjusts the related liability (Note 5).

Investments in Joint Ventures

A joint venture (JV) is a contractual arrangement whereby two or more parties undertake an

economic activity that is subject to joint control. A jointly controlled entity is a JV that involves

the establishment of a separate entity in which each venturer has an interest.

The Group’s 50.00%, 49.00% and 35.00% investments in Philippine Academy for Aviation

Traning, Inc. (PAAT), Aviation Partnership (Philippines) Corporation (A-plus) and SIA

Engineering (Philippines) Corporation (SIAEP), respectively, are accounted for under the equity

method (Note 14). Under the equity method, the investments in JV are carried in the consolidated

statement of financial position at cost plus post-acquisition changes in the Group’s share of net

assets of the JV, less any allowance for impairment in value. The consolidated statement of

comprehensive income reflects the Group’s share in the results of operations of the JV. Dividends

received are treated as a revaluation of the carrying value of the investment.

The financial statements of the investee companies used in the preparation of the consolidated

financial statements are prepared as of the same date with the Group. The investee companies’

accounting policies conform to those by the Group for like transactions and events in similar

circumstances.

Impairment of Nonfinancial Assets

This accounting policy applies primarily to the Group’s property and equipment.

At each reporting date, the Group assesses whether there is any indication that its nonfinancial

assets may be impaired. When an indicator of impairment exists or when an annual impairment

testing for an asset is required, the Group makes a formal estimate of recoverable amount.

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less costs to sell and its value

in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows

that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets, in which case the

recoverable amount is assessed as part of the CGU to which it belongs. Where the carrying

amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset or CGU is considered

impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated

future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects

current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An assessment is made at each statement of financial position date as to whether there is any

indication that a previously recognized impairment loss may no longer exist or may have

decreased. If such indication exists, the recoverable amount is estimated. A previously

recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the estimates used to

determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. If that is

the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its recoverable amount. That increased

amount cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation

and amortization, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such

reversal is recognized in profit or loss. After such a reversal, the depreciation and amortization

expense is adjusted in future years to allocate the asset’s revised carrying amount, less any

residual value, on a systematic basis over its remaining life.

Impairment of Intangibles

Intangible assets with indefinite lives are assessed for impairment annually irrespective of whether

there is any indication that it may be impaired. An intangible asset is impaired when its carrying

amount exceeds recoverable amount. An impairment is recognized immediately in the profit or

loss. The Group estimates the recoverable amount of the intangible asset. This impairment test

may be performed at any time during an annual period, provided it is performed at the same time

every year.

Page 207: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 36 -

Recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or CGU’s fair value less cost to sell and its value in

use. A CGU is the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows that are largely

independent of the cash inflows from either assets or group of assets. Value in use is the present

value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from an asset or each CGU.

An impairment loss recognized in prior periods shall be reversed if, and only if, there has been a

change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment

loss was recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss shall be recognized immediately in profit

or loss.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually, either individually

or at the CGU level.

Impairment of Investments in JV

The Group’s investment in JV is tested for impairment in accordance with PAS 36 as a single

asset, by comparing its recoverable amount (higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell)

with its carrying amount, whenever application of the requirements in PAS 39 indicates that the

investment may be impaired. An impairment loss recognized in those circumstances is not

allocated to any asset that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment in a JV.

Accordingly, any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized in accordance with PAS 36 to the

extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases. In determining the

value in use of the investment, an entity estimates: (a) its share of the present value of the

estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the JV, including the cash flows from the

operations of the JV and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment; or (b) the present

value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from the

investment and from its ultimate disposal.

If the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount shall be

reduced to its recoverable amount. The reduction is an impairment loss and shall be recognized

immediately in profit or loss. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods shall be reversed if,

and only if, there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the asset’s recoverable

amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss shall be

recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Impairment of Goodwill

The Group determines whether goodwill is impaired at least on an annual basis. The impairment

testing may be performed at any time in the annual reporting period, but it must be performed at

the same time every year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is impaired.

The impairment testing also requires an estimation of the recoverable amount, which is the net

selling price or value-in-use of the CGU to which the goodwill is allocated. The most recent

detailed calculation made in a preceding period of the recoverable amount of the CGU may be

used for the impairment testing for the current period provided that:

The assets and liabilities making up the CGU have not changed significantly from the

most recent calculation;

The most recent recoverable amount calculation resulted in an amount that exceeded the

carrying amount of the CGU by a significant margin; and

The likelihood that a current recoverable amount calculation would be less than the

carrying amount of the CGU is remote based on an analysis of events that have occurred

and circumstances that have changed since the most recent recoverable amount

calculation.

Page 208: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 37 -

When value-in-use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future

cash flows from the asset of CGU and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the

present value of those cash flows.

An impairment loss recognized for goodwill shall not be reversed in a subsequent period.

Common Stock

Common stocks are classified as equity and recorded at par. Proceeds in excess of par value are

recorded as ‘Capital paid in excess of par value’ in the consolidated statement of financial

position. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or options are shown in

equity as a deduction from the proceeds.

Treasury Stock

Own equity instruments which are acquired (treasury shares) are recognized at cost and deducted

from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in the profit and loss on the purchase, sale, issue or

cancellation of the Parent Company’s own equity instruments.

Retained Earnings

Retained earnings represent accumulated earnings of the Group less dividends declared.

Dividends on Common Shares

Dividends on common shares are recognized as a liability and deducted from equity when

approved and declared by the BOD, in the case of cash dividends; or by the BOD and

shareholders, in the case of stock dividends.

Provisions and Contingencies

Provisions are recognized when: (a) the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a

result of a past event; (b) it is probable (i.e., more likely than not) that an outflow of assets

embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and (c) a reliable estimate

can be made of the amount of the obligation. Provisions are reviewed at each reporting date and

adjusted to reflect the current best estimate. Where the Group expects a provision to be

reimbursed, for example under an insurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a

separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. If the effect of the time value

of money is material, provisions are determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at a

pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and, where

appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the increase in the

provision due to the passage of time is recognized as an interest expense in profit or loss.

Contingent liabilities are not recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position but are

disclosed unless the possibility of an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits is

remote. Contingent assets are not recognized but disclosed in the consolidated financial

statements when an inflow of economic benefits is probable. If it is virtually certain that an inflow

of economic benefits will arise, the asset and the related income are recognized in the consolidated

financial statements.

Pension Costs

Defined benefit plan

The net defined benefit liability or asset is the aggregate of the present value of the defined benefit

obligation at the end of the reporting period reduced by the fair value of plan assets, adjusted for

any effect of limiting a net defined benefit asset to the asset ceiling. The asset ceiling is the

present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or

reductions in future contributions to the plan.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is actuarially determined using the

projected unit credit method.

Page 209: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 38 -

Defined benefit costs comprise the following:

(a) service cost;

(b) net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset; and

(c) remeasurements of net defined benefit liability or asset.

Service costs which include current service costs, past service costs and gains or losses on non-

routine settlements are recognized as expense in profit or loss. Past service costs are recognized

when plan amendment or curtailment occurs.

Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is the change during the period in the net

defined benefit liability or asset that arises from the passage of time which is determined by

applying the discount rate based on high quality corporate bonds to the net defined benefit liability

or asset. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability or asset is recognized as expense or

income in profit or loss.

Remeasurements comprising actuarial gains and losses, return on plan assets and any change in

the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding net interest on defined benefit liability) are recognized

immediately in OCI in the period in which they arise. Remeasurements are not reclassified to

profit or loss in subsequent periods.

Plan assets are assets that are held by a long-term employee benefit fund or qualifying insurance

policies. Plan assets are not available to the creditors of the Group, nor can they be paid directly

to the Group. Fair value of plan assets is based on market price information. When no market

price is available, the fair value of plan assets is estimated by discounting expected future cash

flows using a discount rate that reflects both the risk associated with the plan assets and the

maturity or expected disposal date of those assets (or, if they have no maturity, the expected

period until the settlement of the related obligations).

The Group’s right to be reimbursed of some or all of the expenditure required to settle a defined

benefit obligation is recognized as a separate asset at fair value when and only when

reimbursement is virtually certain.

Income Taxes

Current tax

Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount

expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used

to compute the amount are those that are enacted or substantially enacted as of the reporting date.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided using the liability method on all temporary differences, with certain

exceptions, at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying

amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, with certain

exceptions. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences with

certain exceptions, and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess minimum

corporate income tax (MCIT) over RCIT and unused net operating loss carryover (NOLCO), to

the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which the

deductible temporary differences and carryforward benefits of unused tax credits from excess

MCIT and unused NOLCO can be utilized. Deferred tax assets, however, are not recognized

when it arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a

business combination and, at the time of transaction, affects neither the accounting income nor

taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax liabilities are not provided on non-taxable temporary

differences associated with interests in JV. With respect to interests in JV, deferred tax liabilities

are recognized except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference can be

Page 210: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 39 -

controlled and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable

future.

The carrying amounts of deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and reduced to the

extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow all or

part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are reassessed at

each reporting date, and are recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future

taxable income will allow the deferred tax assets to be recovered.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are applicable to the period

when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been

enacted or substantively enacted as of the statement of financial position date.

Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss.

Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in profit or

loss or other comprehensive income.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset if a legally enforceable right exists to set

off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable

entity and the same taxation authority.

Leases

The determination of whether an arrangement is, or contains a lease, is based on the substance of

the arrangement at inception date, and requires an assessment of whether the fulfillment of the

arrangement is dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets and the arrangement conveys a

right to use the asset. A reassessment is made after inception of the lease only if one of the

following applies:

a. there is a change in contractual terms, other than a renewal or extension of the arrangement;

b. a renewal option is exercised or an extension granted, unless that term of the renewal or

extension was initially included in the lease term;

c. there is a change in the determination of whether fulfillment is dependent on a specified asset;

or

d. there is a substantial change to the asset.

Where a reassessment is made, lease accounting shall commence or cease from the date when the

change in circumstances gave rise to the reassessment for (a), (c) and (d) scenarios above, and at

the date of renewal or extension period for scenario (b).

Group as lessee

Finance leases, which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and benefits incidental to

ownership of the leased item, are capitalized at the inception of the lease at the fair value of the

leased property or, if lower, at the present value of the minimum lease payments and included

under ‘Property and equipment’ account with the corresponding liability to the lessor included

under ‘Long-term debt’ account in the consolidated statement of financial position. Lease

payments are apportioned between the finance charges and reduction of the lease liability so as to

achieve a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability. Finance charges are

charged directly to profit or loss.

Leased assets are depreciated over the useful life of the asset. However, if there is no reasonable

certainty that the Group will obtain ownership by the end of the lease term, the asset is depreciated

over the shorter of the EUL of the asset and the lease term.

Page 211: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 40 -

Leases where the lessor retains substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of the asset are

classified as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognized as an expense in profit or

loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Group as lessor

Leases where the Group does not transfer substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership of

the assets are classified as operating leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating operating

leases are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset and recognized over the lease term on

the same basis as the rental income. Contingent rents are recognized as revenue in the period in

which they are earned.

Borrowing Costs

Borrowing costs are generally expensed as incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized if they are

directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of a qualifying asset. Capitalization of

borrowing costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress, and

expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Borrowing costs are capitalized until the

assets are substantially ready for their intended use.

The Group had not capitalized any borrowing costs for the three months ended March 31, 2015

and 2014 as all borrowing costs from outstanding long-term debt relate to assets that are at state

ready for intended use (Note 18).

Foreign Currency Transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded in the Group’s functional currency using

the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities

denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the functional currency using the Philippine

Dealing and Exchange Corp. (PDEX) closing rate prevailing at the reporting date. All differences

are taken to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are

measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the prevailing

closing exchange rate as of the date of initial transaction.

Earnings (Loss) Per Share (EPS)

Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted

average number of common shares issued and outstanding during the year, adjusted for any

subsequent stock dividends declared.

Diluted EPS amounts are calculated by dividing the net profit attributable to ordinary equity

holders of the Group by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the

year plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on the conversion

of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the Parent Company does not have any

dilutive potential ordinary shares.

Segment Reporting

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the

Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM). The CODM, who is responsible for resource

allocation and assessing performance of the operating segment, has been identified as the

President. The nature of the operating segment is set out in Note 6.

Events After the Reporting Date

Post-year-end events that provide additional information about the Group’s position at the

reporting date (adjusting event) are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. Post-year-

end events that are not adjusting events are disclosed in the consolidated financial statements,

when material.

- 41 -

5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimates

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has exercised judgments

and estimates in determining the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

The most significant uses of judgments and estimates follow.

Judgments

a. Going concern

The management of the Group has made an assessment of the Group’s ability to continue as a

going concern and is satisfied that the Group has the resources to continue in business for the

foreseeable future. Furthermore, the Group is not aware of any material uncertainties that may

cast significant doubts upon the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. Therefore, the

consolidated financial statements continue to be prepared on a going concern basis.

b. Classification of financial instruments

The Group exercises judgment in classifying a financial instrument, or its component, on

initial recognition as either a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in

accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial

asset, financial liability or equity instrument. The substance of a financial instrument, rather

than its legal form, governs its classification in the consolidated statement of financial

position.

In addition, the Group classifies financial assets by evaluating, among others, whether the

asset is quoted or not in an active market. Included in the evaluation on whether a financial

asset is quoted in an active market is the determination of whether quoted prices are readily

and regularly available, and whether those prices represent actual and regularly occurring

market transactions on an arm’s length basis.

c. Fair values of financial instruments

Where the fair values of certain financial assets and liabilities recorded in the consolidated

statement of financial position cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined

using valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs to these

models are taken from observable market data where possible, but where this is not feasible,

estimates are used in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of

liquidity risk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could

affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. For derivatives, the Group generally

relies on calculation agent’s valuation.

The fair values of the Group’s financial instruments are presented in Note 28.

d. Impairment of financial assets

In determining whether an impairment loss should be recorded in profit or loss, the Group

makes judgments as to whether there is any objective evidence of impairment as a result of

one or more events that has occurred after initial recognition of the asset and that loss event or

events has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial assets or the group of

financial assets that can be reliably estimated. This observable data may include adverse

changes in payment status of borrowings in a group, or national or local economic conditions

that correlate with defaults on assets in the portfolio.

e. Classification of leases

Management exercises judgment in determining whether substantially all the significant risks

and rewards of ownership of the leased assets are transferred to the Group. Lease contracts,

which transfer to the Group substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of

the leased items, are capitalized. Otherwise, they are considered as operating leases.

Page 213: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 42 -

The Group also has lease agreements where it has determined that the risks and rewards

related to the leased assets are retained with the lessors. Such leases are accounted for as

operating leases (Note 29).

f. Consolidation of SPEs

The Group periodically undertakes transactions that may involve obtaining the rights to

variable returns from its involvement with the SPE. These transactions include the purchase

of aircraft and assumption of certain liabilities. Also, included are transactions involving

SPEs and similar vehicles. In all such cases, management makes an assessment as to whether

the Group has the right over the returns of its SPEs, and based on this assessment, the SPE is

consolidated as a subsidiary or associated company. In making this assessment, management

considers the underlying economic substance of the transaction and not only the contractual

terms.

g. Determination of functional currency

PAS 21 requires management to use its judgment to determine the entity’s functional currency

such that it most faithfully represents the economic effects of the underlying transactions,

events and conditions that are relevant to the entity. In making this judgment, each entity in

the Group considers the following:

a) the currency that mainly influences sales prices for financial instruments and services (this

will often be the currency in which sales prices for its financial instruments and services

are denominated and settled);

b) the currency in which funds from financing activities are generated; and

c) the currency in which receipts from operating activities are usually retained.

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Philippine peso, which is also

the Parent Company’s functional currency.

h. Contingencies

The Group is currently involved in certain legal proceedings. The estimate of the probable

costs for the resolution of these claims has been developed in consultation with outside

counsel handling the defense in these matters and is based upon an analysis of potential

results. The Group currently does not believe that these proceedings will have a material

adverse effect on the Group’s financial position and results of operations. It is possible,

however, that future results of operations could be materially affected by changes in the

estimates or in the effectiveness of the strategies relating to these proceedings (Note 30).

i. Allocation of revenue, costs and expenses

Revenue, costs and expenses are classified as exclusive and common. Exclusive revenue, cost

and expenses such as passenger revenue, cargo revenue, excess baggage revenue, fuel and

insurance surcharge, fuel and oil expense, hull/war/risk insurance, maintenance expense,

depreciation (for aircraft under finance lease), lease expense (for aircraft under operating

lease) and interest expense based on the related long-term debt are specifically identified per

aircraft based on an actual basis. For revenue, cost and expense accounts that are not

identifiable per aircraft, the Group provides allocation based on activity factors that closely

relate to the earning process of the revenue.

j. Application of hedge accounting

The Group applies hedge accounting treatment for certain qualifying derivatives after

complying with hedge accounting requirements, specifically on hedge documentation

designation and effectiveness testing. Judgment is involved in these areas, which include

management determining the appropriate data points for evaluating hedge effectiveness,

Page 214: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 43 -

establishing that the hedged forecasted transaction in cash flow hedges are probable of

occurring, and assessing the credit standing of hedging counterparties (Note 9).

k. Classification of joint arrangements

The Group’s investments in joint ventures (Note 14) are structured in separate incorporated

entities. Even though the Group holds various percentage of ownership interest on these

arrangements, their respective joint arrangement agreements requires unanimous consent from

all parties to the agreement for the relevant activities identified. The Group and the parties to

the agreement only have rights to the net assets of the joint venture through the terms of the

contractual arrangements.

l. Intangibles

The Group assesses intangible as having an indefinite useful life when based on the analysis

of relevant factors; the Group has no foreseeable limit to the period of which the intangible

asset is expected to generate cash inflow for the Group.

m. Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets

The Group performs its annual impairment test on its goodwill and other intangible assets with

indefinite useful lives as of reporting date irrespective of whether there is any indication of

impairment. The recoverable amounts of the intangible assets were determined based on

value in use calculations using cash flow projections from financial budgets approved by

management covering a five-year period.

l) Impairment of PPE and investments in JV

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that

an asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the entity shall estimate the

recoverable amount of the asset.

Estimates and Assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other sources of estimation uncertainty at the

statement of financial position date that have significant risk of causing a material adjustment to

the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next year are discussed below:

a. Estimation of allowance for credit losses on receivables

The Group maintains allowance for impairment losses at a level considered adequate to

provide for potential uncollectible receivables. The level of this allowance is evaluated by

management on the basis of factors that affect the collectibility of the accounts. These factors

include, but are not limited to, the length of the Group’s relationship with the agents,

customers and other counterparties, the payment behavior of agents and customers, other

counterparties and other known market factors. The Group reviews the age and status of

receivables, and identifies accounts that are to be provided with allowances on a continuous

basis.

The related balances follow (Note 10):

2015 2014

Receivables P=1,805,959,831 P=2,169,549,982

Allowance for credit losses 306,728,721 306,831,563

b. Determination of NRV of expendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies

The Group’s estimates of the NRV of expendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies are based

on the most reliable evidence available at the time the estimates are made, of the amount that

the expendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies are expected to be realized. In determining

the NRV, the Group considers any adjustment necessary for obsolescence, which is generally

Page 215: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 44 -

providing 100.00% for nonmoving items for more than one year. A new assessment is made

of NRV in each subsequent period. When the circumstances that previously caused

expendable parts, fuel, materials and supplies to be written-down below cost no longer exist or

when there is a clear evidence of an increase in NRV because of a change in economic

circumstances, the amount of the write-down is reversed so that the new carrying amount is

the lower of the cost and the revised NRV.

The related balances follow (Note 11):

2015 2014

Expendable Parts, Fuel, Materials and Supplies

At NRV P=520,492,823 P=504,714,331

At cost 278,472,997 174,600,739

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, allowance for inventory write-down for

expendable parts amounted to P=20.5 million. No additional provision for inventory write-

down was recognized by the Group in 2015 and 2014.

c. Estimation of ARO

The Group is contractually required under certain lease contracts to restore certain leased

passenger aircraft to stipulated return condition and to bear the costs of restoration at the end

of the contract period. Since the first operating lease entered by the Group in 2001, these

costs are accrued based on an internal estimate which includes estimates of certain redelivery

costs at the end of the operating aircraft lease. The contractual obligation includes regular

aircraft maintenance, overhaul and restoration of the leased aircraft to its original condition.

Regular aircraft maintenance is accounted for as expense when incurred, while overhaul and

restoration are accounted on an accrual basis.

Assumptions used to compute ARO are reviewed and updated annually by the Group. As of

March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the cost of restoration is computed based on the

Group’s average borrowing cost.

The amount and timing of recorded expenses for any period would differ if different

judgments were made or different estimates were utilized. The recognition of ARO would

increase other noncurrent liabilities and repairs and maintenance expense.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Group’s ARO liability (included under

‘Other noncurrent liabilities’ account in the statements of financial position) has a carrying

value of P=720.8 million and P=586.1 million, respectively (Note 19). The related repairs and

maintenance expense for three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 amounted to

P=186.3 and P=119.0 million, respectively (Notes 19 and 22).

d. Estimation of useful lives and residual values of property and equipment

The Group estimates the useful lives of its property and equipment based on the period over

which the assets are expected to be available for use. The Group estimates the residual value

of its property and equipment based on the expected amount recoverable at the end of its

useful life. The Group reviews annually the EULs and residual values of property and

equipment based on factors that include physical wear and tear, technical and commercial

obsolescence and other limits on the use of the assets. It is possible that future results of

operations could be materially affected by changes in these estimates brought about by

changes in the factors mentioned. A reduction in the EUL or residual value of property and

equipment would increase recorded depreciation and amortization expense and decrease

noncurrent assets.

Page 216: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 45 -

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying values of the Group’s property

and equipment amounted to P=67,894.5 million and P=65,227.1 million, respectively (Note 13).

The Group’s depreciation and amortization expense amounted to P=1,214.7 million and

P=993.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively (Note 13).

e. Impairment of property and equipment and investment in JV

The Group assesses the impairment of nonfinancial assets, particularly property and

equipment and investment in JV, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that

the carrying amount of the nonfinancial asset may not be recoverable. The factors that the

Group considers important which could trigger an impairment review include the following:

significant underperformance relative to expected historical or projected future operating

results;

significant changes in the manner of use of the acquired assets or the strategy for overall

business; and

significant negative industry or economic trends.

An impairment loss is recognized whenever the carrying amount of an asset or investment

exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value

less cost to sell and value in use. The fair value less cost to sell is the amount obtainable from

the sale of an asset in an arm’s length transaction while value in use is the present value of

estimated future cash flows expected to arise from the continuing use of an asset and from its

disposal at the end of its useful life.

Recoverable amounts are estimated for individual assets or investments or, if it is not possible,

for the CGU to which the asset belongs.

In determining the present value of estimated future cash flows expected to be generated from

the continued use of the assets, the Group is required to make estimates and assumptions that

can materially affect the consolidated financial statements.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the carrying values of the Group’s property

and equipment amounted to P=67,894.5 million and P=65,227.1 million, respectively (Note 13).

Investments in JV amounted to P=574.3 million and P=591.3 million as of March 31, 2015 and

December 31, 2014, respectively (Note 14). There were no provision for impairment losses

on the Group’s property and equipment and investments in JV for the three months ended

March 31, 2015 and 2014.

f. Impairment of goodwill and intangibles

The Group determines whether goodwill and intangibles are impaired at least on an annual basis. The impairment testing may be performed at any time in the annual reporting period, but it must be performed at the same time every year and when circumstances indicate that the carrying amount is impaired. The impairment testing also requires an estimation of the recoverable amount, which is the net selling price or value-in-use of the CGU to which the goodwill and intangibles are allocated. The most recent detailed calculation made in a preceding period of the recoverable amount of the CGU may be used for the impairment testing for the current period provided that:

The assets and liabilities making up the CGU have not changes significantly from the

most recent calculation; The most recent recoverable amount calculation resulted in an amount that exceeded the

carrying amount of the CGU by a significant margin; and The likelihood that a current recoverable amount calculation would be less than the

carrying amount of the CGU is remote based on an analysis of events that have occurred

Page 217: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 46 -

and circumstances that have changed since the most recent recoverable amount calculation.

When value in use calculations are undertaken, management must estimate the expected future cash flows from the asset or CGUs and choose a suitable discount rate in order to calculate the present value of those cash flows.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Group has determined that goodwill and

intangibles are recoverable as there were no indications that it is impaired. Goodwill

amounted to P=566.8 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively

(Notes 7 and 15).

g. Estimation of pension and other employee benefit costs

The determination of the obligation and cost of pension and other employee benefits is

dependent on the selection of certain assumptions used in calculating such amounts. Those

assumptions include, among others, discount rates and salary increase rates (Note 24).

While the Group believes that the assumptions are reasonable and appropriate, significant

differences between actual experiences and assumptions may materially affect the cost of

employee benefits and related obligations.

The Group’s pension liability (included in ‘Other noncurrent liabilities’ account in the

consolidated statements of financial position) amounted to P=413.9 million and P=385.7 million

as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively (Notes 19 and 24).

The Group also estimates other employee benefit obligations and expense, including the cost

of paid leaves based on historical leave availments of employees, subject to the Group’s

policy. These estimates may vary depending on the future changes in salaries and actual

experiences during the year.

h. Recognition of deferred tax assets

The Group assesses the carrying amounts of deferred income taxes at each reporting date and

reduces deferred tax assets to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable

income will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax assets to be utilized.

Significant management judgment is required to determine the amount of deferred tax assets

that can be recognized, based upon the likely timing and level of future taxable profits

together with future tax planning strategies.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Group had certain gross deductible and

taxable temporary differences which are expected to expire or reverse within the ITH period,

and for which deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities were not set up on account of the

Parent Company’s ITH.

i. Passenger revenue recognition

Passenger sales are recognized as revenue when the obligation of the Group to provide

transportation service ceases, either: (a) when transportation services are already rendered;

(b) carriage is provided or (c) when the flight is uplifted.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the balances of the Group’s unearned

transportation revenue amounted to P=7,088.3 million and P=6,373.7 million, respectively.

6. Segment Information

The Group has one reportable operating segment, which is the airline business (system-wide).

This is consistent with how the Group’s management internally monitors and analyzes the

financial information for reporting to the CODM, who is responsible for allocating resources,

assessing performance and making operating decisions.

The revenue of the operating segment was mainly derived from rendering transportation services.

Transfer prices between operating segments are on an arm’s length basis in a manner similar to

transactions with third parties.

The amount of segment assets and liabilities are based on the measurement principles that are

similar with those used in measuring the assets and liabilities in the consolidated statements of

financial position which is in accordance with PFRS.

Group.

7. Business Combination

As part of the strategic alliance between the Parent Company and Tiger Airways Holding Limited

(TAH), on February 10, 2014, the Parent Company signed a Sale and Purchase Agreement (SPA)

to acquire 100% of TAP. Under the terms of the SPA, closing of the transaction is subject to the

satisfaction or waiver of each of the conditions contained in the SPA. On March 20, 2014, all the

conditions precedent has been satisfactorily completed. The Parent Company has paid the

purchase price covering the transfer of shares from TAH. Consequently, the Parent Company

gained control of TAP on the same date. The total consideration for the transaction amounted to

P=265.1 million.

hedges. This account amounted to P=2,136.5 million and P=2,260.6 million in 2015 and 2014,

respectively.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, this account consists of commodity swaps.

Commodity Swaps

The Group enters into fuel derivatives to manage its exposure to fuel price fluctuations. Such fuel

derivatives are not designated as accounting hedges. The gains or losses on these instruments are

accounted for directly as a charge against or credit to profit or loss. As of March 31, 2015 and

December 31, 2014, the Group has outstanding fuel hedging transactions. The notional quantity is

the amount of the derivatives’ underlying asset or liability, reference rate or index and is the basis

upon which changes in the value of derivatives are measured. The swaps can be exercised at

various calculation dates with specified quantities on each calculation date. The swaps have

various maturity dates through December 31, 2016 (Note 5).

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Group recognized net changes in fair value of

derivatives amounting P=360.6 million loss and P=2,424.0 million gain, respectively. These are

recognized in “Hedging gains (losses)” under the consolidated statements of comprehensive

income.

Foreign Currency Forwards

In 2015 and 2014, the Group entered into foreign currency hedging arrangements with various

counterparties to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations. Such derivatives are not

designated as accounting hedges. The gains or losses on these instruments are accounted for

directly as a charge against or credit to profit or loss. In 2014, the Group pre-terminated all

foreign currency derivative contracts, where the Group recognized realized gain of

P=109.8 million from the transaction. For the year ended December 31, 2014, such realized gain is

recognized in “Hedging gains (losses)” under the consolidated statement of comprehensive

income.

special purpose company, which purchased the aircraft from the supplier and leases such aircraft

to the Parent Company pursuant to ten-year finance lease arrangement for the aircraft. The

quarterly rental payments of the Parent Company correspond to the principal and interest

payments made by SAALL to the commercial lenders. The Parent Company has the option to

purchase the aircraft for a nominal amount at the end of such leases.

The terms of the commercial loans follow:

Term of ten years starting from the delivery date of each Airbus A320 aircraft.

Terms of six and five years for the engines and QEC Kit, respectively.

Term of six years starting from the delivery date of each ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft.

Annuity style principal repayments for the two Airbus A320 aircraft and six ATR 72-500

turboprop aircraft, and equal principal repayments for the engines and the QEC Kit. Principal

repayments shall be made on a quarterly and semi-annual basis for the two Airbus A320

aircraft, engines and the QEC Kit and six ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft, respectively.

Interests on loans are a mix of fixed and variable rates. Interest rates ranges from 1.00% to

6.00%.

The commercial loan facility provides for material breach as an event of default.

Upon default, the outstanding amount of loan will be payable, including interest accrued.

The lenders will foreclose on secured assets, namely the aircraft.

As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the total outstanding balance of the commercial

loans amounted to P=18,721.3 million (US$418.8 million) and P=16,222.9 million

(US$362.8million), respectively. Interest expense amounted to P=138.7 million and P=107.0 million

in 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The Group is not in breach of any loan covenants as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

capital ratios in order to support its business and maximize shareholder value. The Group

Page 234: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 63 -

manages its capital structure, which composed of paid up capital and retained earnings, and makes

adjustments to these ratios in light of changes in economic conditions and the risk characteristics

of its activities. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the

amount of dividend payment to shareholders, return capital structure or issue capital securities.

No changes have been made in the objective, policies and processes as they have been applied in

previous years.

The Group’s ultimate parent monitors the use of capital structure using a debt-to-equity capital

ratio which is gross debt divided by total capital. The ultimate parent includes within gross debt

all interest-bearing loans and borrowings, while capital represent total equity.

The Group’s debt-to-capital ratios follow:

27. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The Group’s principal financial instruments, other than derivatives, comprise cash and cash

equivalents, financial assets at FVPL, AFS investments, receivables, payables and interest-bearing

borrowings. The main purpose of these financial instruments is to finance the Group’s operations

and capital expenditures. The Group has various other financial assets and liabilities, such as trade

receivables and trade payables which arise directly from its operations. The Group also enters into

fuel derivatives to manage its exposure to fuel price fluctuations.

The Group’s BOD reviews and approves policies for managing each of these risks and they are

summarized in the succeeding paragraphs, together with the related risk management structure.

Risk Management Structure

The Group’s risk management structure is closely aligned with that of its ultimate parent. The

Group has its own BOD which is ultimately responsible for the oversight of the Group’s risk

management process which involves identifying, measuring, analyzing, monitoring and

controlling risks.

The risk management framework encompasses environmental scanning, the identification and

assessment of business risks, development of risk management strategies, design and

implementation of risk management capabilities and appropriate responses, monitoring risks and

Page 237: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 66 -

risk management performance, and identification of areas and opportunities for improvement in

the risk management process.

The Group and the ultimate parent with its other subsidiaries (JGSHI Group) created the following

separate board-level independent committees with explicit authority and responsibility for

managing and monitoring risks.

Each BOD has created the board-level Audit Committee to spearhead the managing and

monitoring of risks.

Audit Committee

The Group’s Audit Committee assists the Group’s BOD in its fiduciary responsibility for the over-

all effectiveness of risk management systems, and both the internal and external audit functions of

the Group. Furthermore, it is also the Audit Committee’s purpose to lead in the general evaluation

and to provide assistance in the continuous improvements of risk management, control and

governance processes.

The Audit Committee also aims to ensure that:

a. financial reports comply with established internal policies and procedures, pertinent

accounting and auditing standards and other regulatory requirements;

b. risks are properly identified, evaluated and managed, specifically in the areas of managing

credit, market, liquidity, operational, legal and other risks, and crisis management:

c. audit activities of internal and external auditors are done based on plan, and deviations are

explained through the performance of direct interface functions with the internal and external

auditors; and

d. the Group’s BOD is properly assisted in the development of policies that would enhance the

risk management and control systems.

Enterprise Risk Management Group (ERMG)

The fulfillment of the risk management functions of the Group’s BOD is delegated to the ERMG.

The ERMG is primarily responsible for the execution of the Enterprise Risk Management (ERM)

framework. The ERMG’s main concerns include:

formulation of risk policies, strategies, principles, framework and limits;

management of the fundamental risk issues and monitoring of relevant risk decisions;

support to management in implementing the risk policies and strategies; and

development of a risk awareness program.

Corporate Governance Compliance Officer

Compliance with the principles of good corporate governance is one of the objectives of the

Group’s BOD. To assist the Group’s BOD in achieving this purpose, the Group’s BOD has

designated a Compliance Officer who shall be responsible for monitoring the actual compliance of

the Group with the provisions and requirements of good corporate governance, identifying and

monitoring control compliance risks, determining violations, and recommending penalties for such

infringements for further review and approval of the Group’s BOD, among others.

Day-to-day risk management functions

At the business unit or company level, the day-to-day risk management functions are handled by

four different groups, namely:

1. Risk-taking personnel - this group includes line personnel who initiate and are directly

accountable for all risks taken.

2. Risk control and compliance - this group includes middle management personnel who perform

the day-to-day compliance check to approved risk policies and risks mitigation decisions.

3. Support - this group includes back office personnel who support the line personnel.

Page 238: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 67 -

4. Risk management - this group pertains to the Group’s Management Committee which makes

risk mitigating decisions within the enterprise-wide risk management framework.

ERM framework

The Group’s BOD is also responsible for establishing and maintaining a sound risk management

framework and is accountable for risks taken by the Group. The Group’s BOD also shares the

responsibility with the ERMG in promoting the risk awareness program enterprise-wide.

The ERM framework revolves around the following seven interrelated risk management

approaches:

1. Internal Environmental Scanning - it involves the review of the overall prevailing risk profile

of the business unit to determine how risks are viewed and addressed by management. This is

presented during the strategic planning, annual budgeting and mid-year performance reviews

of the business unit.

2. Objective Setting - the Group’s BOD mandates the Group’s management to set the overall

annual targets through strategic planning activities, in order to ensure that management has a

process in place to set objectives which are aligned with the Group’s goals.

3. Risk Assessment - the identified risks are analyzed relative to the probability and severity of

potential loss which serves as a basis for determining how the risks should be managed. The

risks are further assessed as to which risks are controllable and uncontrollable, risks that

require management’s attention, and risks which may materially weaken the Group’s earnings

and capital.

4. Risk Response - the Group’s BOD, through the oversight role of the ERMG, approves the

Group’s responses to mitigate risks, either to avoid, self-insure, reduce, transfer or share risk.

5. Control Activities - policies and procedures are established and approved by the Group’s BOD

and implemented to ensure that the risk responses are effectively carried out enterprise-wide.

6. Information and Communication - relevant risk management information are identified,

captured and communicated in form and substance that enable all personnel to perform their

risk management roles.

7. Monitoring - the ERMG, Internal Audit Group, Compliance Office and Business Assessment

Team constantly monitor the management of risks through risk limits, audit reviews,

compliance checks, revalidation of risk strategies and performance reviews.

Risk management support groups

The Group’s BOD created the following departments within the Group to support the risk

management activities of the Group and the other business units:

1. Corporate Security and Safety Board (CSSB) - under the supervision of ERMG, the CSSB

administers enterprise-wide policies affecting physical security of assets exposed to various

forms of risks.

2. Corporate Supplier Accreditation Team (CORPSAT) - under the supervision of ERMG, the

CORPSAT administers enterprise-wide procurement policies to ensure availability of supplies

and services of high quality and standards to all business units.

3. Corporate Management Services (CMS) - the CMS is responsible for the formulation of

enterprise-wide policies and procedures.

4. Corporate Planning and Legal Affairs (CORPLAN) - the CORPLAN is responsible for the

administration of strategic planning, budgeting and performance review processes of the

business units.

5. Corporate Insurance Department (CID) - the CID is responsible for the administration of the

insurance program of business units concerning property, public liability, business

interruption, money and fidelity, and employer compensation insurances, as well as in the

procurement of performance bonds.

Risk Management Policies

The main risks arising from the use of financial instruments are credit risk, liquidity risk and

market risk, namely foreign currency risk, commodity price risk and interest rate risk. The

Group’s policies for managing the aforementioned risks are summarized below.

Credit risk

Credit risk is defined as the risk of loss due to uncertainty in a third party’s ability to meet its

obligation to the Group. The Group trades only with recognized, creditworthy third parties. It is

the Group’s policy that all customers who wish to trade on credit terms are being subjected to

credit verification procedures. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on a continuous

basis resulting in an insignificant exposure in bad debts.

With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Group, which comprise

cash in bank and cash equivalents and certain derivative instruments, the Group’s exposure to

credit risk arises from default of the counterparty with a maximum exposure equal to the carrying

amount of these instruments.

Collateral or credit enhancements

As collateral against trade receivables from sales ticket offices or agents, the Group requires cash

bonds from major sales ticket offices or agents ranging from P=50,000 to P=2.1 million depending

on the Group’s assessment of sales ticket offices and agents’ credit standing and volume of

transactions. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, outstanding cash bonds (included

under ‘Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities’ account in the consolidated statement of

financial position) amounted to P=212.6 million and P=293.9 million, respectively (Note 17). There

are no collaterals for impaired receivables.

Impairment assessment

The Group recognizes impairment losses based on the results of its specific/individual and

collective assessment of its credit exposures. Impairment has taken place when there is a presence

of known difficulties in the servicing of cash flows by counterparties, infringement of the original

terms of the contract has happened, or when there is an inability to pay principal overdue beyond a

certain threshold. These and the other factors, either singly or in tandem, constitute observable

events and/or data that meet the definition of an objective evidence of impairment.

The two methodologies applied by the Group in assessing and measuring impairment include:

(1) specific/individual assessment; and (2) collective assessment.

Under specific/individual assessment, the Group assesses each individually significant credit

exposure for any objective evidence of impairment, and where such evidence exists, accordingly

calculates the required impairment. Among the items and factors considered by the Group when

assessing and measuring specific impairment allowances are: (a) the timing of the expected cash

flows; (b) the projected receipts or expected cash flows; (c) the going concern of the

counterparty’s business; (d) the ability of the counterparty to repay its obligations during financial

crises; (e) the availability of other sources of financial support; and (f) the existing realizable value

of collateral. The impairment allowances, if any, are evaluated as the need arises, in view of

favorable or unfavorable developments.

With regard to the collective assessment of impairment, allowances are assessed collectively for

losses on receivables that are not individually significant and for individually significant

receivables when there is no apparent nor objective evidence of individual impairment yet.

A particular portfolio is reviewed on a periodic basis in order to determine its corresponding

appropriate allowances. The collective assessment evaluates and estimates the impairment of the

portfolio in its entirety even though there is no objective evidence of impairment yet on an

individual assessment. Impairment losses are estimated by taking into consideration the following

Page 240: SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION - Cebu Pacificcebupacificaircorporate.com/Corporate Disclosures... · CEBU AIR, INC. 3. Province, country or other jurisdiction of incorporation

- 69 -

deterministic information: (a) historical losses/write-offs; (b) losses which are likely to occur but

have not yet occurred; and (c) the expected receipts and recoveries once impaired.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity is generally defined as the current and prospective risk to earnings or capital arising

from the Group’s inability to meet its obligations when they become due without recurring

unacceptable losses or costs.

The Group’s liquidity management involves maintaining funding capacity to finance capital

expenditures and service maturing debts, and to accommodate any fluctuations in asset and

liability levels due to changes in the Group’s business operations or unanticipated events created

by customer behavior or capital market conditions. The Group maintains a level of cash and cash

equivalents deemed sufficient to finance operations. As part of its liquidity risk management, the

Group regularly evaluates its projected and actual cash flows. It also continuously assesses

conditions in the financial markets for opportunities to pursue fund raising activities. Fund raising

activities may include obtaining bank loans and availing of export credit agency facilities.

Financial assets

The analysis of financial assets held for liquidity purposes into relevant maturity grouping is based

on the remaining period at the statement of financial position date to the contractual maturity date

or if earlier the expected date the assets will be realized.

Financial liabilities

The relevant maturity grouping is based on the remaining period at the statement of financial

position date to the contractual maturity date. When counterparty has a choice of when the amount

is paid, the liability is allocated to the earliest period in which the Group can be required to pay.

When an entity is committed to make amounts available in installments, each installment is

allocated to the earliest period in which the entity can be required to pay.

Market risk

Market risk is the risk of loss to future earnings, to fair values or to future cash flows that may

result from changes in the price of a financial instrument. The value of a financial instrument may

change as a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates, commodity prices

or other market changes. The Group’s market risk originates from its holding of foreign exchange

instruments, interest-bearing instruments and derivatives.

Foreign currency risk

Foreign currency risk arises on financial instruments that are denominated in a foreign currency

other than the functional currency in which they are measured. It is the risk that the value of a

financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in foreign exchange rates.

The Group does not have any foreign currency hedging arrangements as of December 31, 2014.

The exchange rates used to restate the Group’s foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities

as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 follow:

2015 2014

US dollar P=44.700 to US$1.00 P=44.720 to US$1.00

Singapore dollar P=32.6055 to SGD1.00 P=33.696 to SGD1.00

Change in pre-tax income (P=1,767,444) P=1,767,444 (P=1,687,711) P=1,687,711

Other than the potential impact on the Group’s pre-tax income, there is no other effect on equity.

The Group does not expect the impact of the volatility on other currencies to be material.

Commodity price risk

The Group enters into commodity derivatives to manage its price risks on fuel purchases.

Commodity hedging allows stability in prices, thus offsetting the risk of volatile market

fluctuations. Depending on the economic hedge cover, the price changes on the commodity

derivative positions are offset by higher or lower purchase costs on fuel. A change in price by

US$10.00 per barrel of jet fuel affects the Group’s fuel costs in pre-tax income by P=492.8 million

and P=1,778.5 million as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, in each of the

covered periods, assuming no change in volume of fuel is consumed.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises on interest-bearing financial instruments recognized in the consolidated

statement of financial position and on some financial instruments not recognized in the

consolidated statement of financial position (i.e., some loan commitments, if any). The Group’s

policy is to manage its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt (Note 18).

The following table sets forth the impact of the range of reasonably possible changes in interest

rates on the Group’s pre-tax income for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

2015 2014

Changes in interest rates 1.50% (1.50%) 1.50% (1.50%)

Changes in pre-tax income (P=64,395,200) P=64,395,200 (P=38,834,804) P=38,834,804

Fair value interest rate risk

Fair value interest rate risk is the risk that the value/future cash flows of a financial instrument

will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to interest rate

risk relates primarily to the Group’s financial assets designated at FVPL.

28. Fair Value Measurement

The methods and assumptions used by the Group in estimating the fair value of financial asset and

other financial liabilities are:

Cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash on hand), Receivables and Accounts payable and other

accrued liabilities

Carrying amounts approximate their fair values due to the relatively short-term maturity of these

instruments.

Amounts due from and due to related parties

Carrying amounts of due from/to related parties, which are receivable/payable and due on demand,

approximate their fair values.

- 71 -

Noninterest - bearing refundable deposits

The fair values are determined based on the present value of estimated future cash flows using

prevailing market rates. The Group used discount rates of 3% to 4% in 2015 and 2014.

Long-term debt

The fair value of long-term debt is determined using the discounted cash flow methodology, with

reference to the Group’s current incremental lending rates for similar types of loans. The discount

curve used range from 2% to 6% as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
