Full Year Outlook and Additional Information
Avianca is committed to achieve its full year outlook
AVIANCA s contingency plan mitigates effects of pilot strike Strike Impact on EBIT Revenue Impact Cost Impact 9,2% Out of a total of 51 strike days, 41 took place in the 4Q17. The total impact of the strike translates into USD $ 1.7- $ 1.9 Million per day in forgone revenues, while variable costs decreased between USD $ 0.7 - $ 0.5 Million per day On September 20 th approx. 700 Avianca Colombia Pilot members of the ACDAC union, of a total of 1350 Pilots of Avinca S.A., went on strike effectively reducing the company's deployable capacity, measured in ASK, by 45%; on November 10 th, the ACDAC s pilots terminated the strike after 51 days. Avianca has no restrictions on ticket sales; therefore, all tickets for flights operated by Avianca are currently available for sale, which significantly reduced passenger compensation Avianca quickly enacted a contingency plan to mitigate the impact, larger capacity aircraft were deployed, more efficient use of staff, change in mix of operating carriers, focus on operation of key domestic city pairs, wet lease aircraft deployed. Avianca also shifted administrative staff to work at airports; Administrative savings program. Avianca reached a 2017 EBIT margin of 6.6%, 37 bps above 2016, despite impact of pilot strike For the 2018, Avianca Colombia will continue to incorporate new pilots and operate Wet leased Aircraft, in order to operate as closely as possible to its pre-strike capacity (measured in ASK) 24 Source: Company Information

Reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAR This presentation includes certain references to non-ifrs measures such as our Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR margin. Adjusted EBITDAR represents our consolidated net profit for the year plus the sum of income tax expense, depreciation, amortization and impairment, aircraft rentals and interest expense, minus interest income, minus derivative instruments, minus foreign exchange. Adjusted EBITDAR is presented as supplemental information, because we believe it is a useful indicator of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other companies in the airline industry. However, Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered in isolation, as a substitute for net profit determined in accordance with IFRS or as a measure of a company s profitability. These supplemental financial measures are not prepared in accordance with IFRS or Colombian GAAP. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information and should note that Adjusted EBITDAR and Adjusted EBITDAR margin, as calculated by us, may differ materially from similarly titled measures reported by other companies, including our competitors. Adjusted EBITDAR is commonly used in the airline industry to view operating results before depreciation, amortization and aircraft operating lease charges, as these costs can vary significantly among airlines due to differences in the way airlines finance their aircraft and other asset acquisitions. However, Adjusted EBITDAR should not be considered as an alternative measure to operating profit, as an indicator of operating performance, as an alternative to operating cash flows or as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDAR as calculated by us and as presented in this presentation may differ materially from similarly titled measures reported by other companies due to differences in the way these measures are calculated. Adjusted EBITDAR has important limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for an analysis of, our operating results as reported under IFRS or Colombian GAAP. Some of the limitations are: Adjusted EBITDAR does not reflect cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments; Adjusted EBITDAR does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, working capital needs; Adjusted EBITDAR does not reflect the interest expense or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments on debt; Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDAR does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements; Adjusted EBITDAR does not reflect expenses related to leases of flight equipment and other related expenses; and other companies may calculate Adjusted EBITDAR or similarly titled measures differently, limiting its usefulness as a comparative measure. 26
