Volaris reports Q4 EPS 4c vs. 39c last year

Reports Q4 revenue $882M vs. $835M last year. Reports Q4 TRASM stood at 9.35c, remaining effectively flat, and total ASMs was 36.1B, representing a 6.3% increase from last year. Enrique Beltranena, President & CEO, said: “In 2025, Volaris (VLRS) once again demonstrated the resilience of our ultra-low-cost model and the strength of our market positioning. We responded swiftly to evolving geopolitical and industry dynamics, moderating capacity to protect profitability, controlling unit costs, and preserving affordability for our customers. By year-end, improving travel sentiment and the continued evolution of our low-cost, low-complexity product offering drove higher revenue per passenger and greater penetration of higher-yielding segments. Looking ahead to 2026, we expect approximately 7% ASM growth, aligned with our disciplined capacity deployment strategy and strategically weighted towards the cross-border market. Importantly, this outlook is supported by a meaningful reduction in engine-related aircraft on ground – from 41 in January to 25 by year-end. While the pull-forward of maintenance activity and higher redelivery accruals will temporarily pressure unit costs early in the year, these proactive actions position us to restore fleet availability sooner, improve profitability as the year progresses, and narrow the EBITDAR-to-EBIT margin spread by approximately four percentage points. We are confident in the next phase of our growth as we continue refining our network and product, maintaining operational discipline, and delivering long-term shareholder value.”
