OPERATING & FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Net income for the quarter was R$92.7mm (US$43.3mm), representing a 9.2% net margin. Earnings per share (EPS) were R$0.47 and earnings per ADS were US$0.22. 
   
External effects during the quarter (flight cancellations, demand de- stimulation and increased no-shows due to air traffic operational issues) negatively impacted load factors and yields. We estimate revenues were reduced by approximately R$150mm and expenses increased by R$41mm. 
   
Reported full-year 2006 net income was R$569.1mm (US$266.2mm), representing year-over-year growth of 10.9%, on revenues of R$3.8 billion, representing a net margin of 15.0%. Reported full-year 2006 earnings per share were R$2.90 (US$1.36 per ADS). 
   
Full-year 2006 earnings per share in BRGAAP were R$3.49 (US$1.63 per ADS. Full-year 2006 net income in BRGAAP was R$684.5mm (US$320.1mm), representing year-over-year growth of 61.2%, and a net margin of 18.0%. 
   
Operating income in 4Q06 was R$112.3mm, representing an EBIT margin of 11.1%. Net cash from operations was R$121.6mm, equivalent to 9 cents of net cash flow from operations for every one Real of revenue in the quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled R$1,706.3mm, an increase of R$100.1mm over 3Q06. 
   
Operating cost per ASK (CASK) decreased 11.1% from 16.67 cents (R$) in 4Q05 to 14.82 cents (R$) in 4Q06. Non-fuel CASK decreased 5.7% to 9.36 cents (R$) mainly due to lower sales and marketing expenses per ASK and lower aircraft rent per ASK. 
   
RPKs increased 43.7% from 2,869mm in 4Q05 to 4,123mm in 4Q06. ASKs increased 56.9% from 3,868mm in 4Q05 to 6,070mm in 4Q06. Average load factor decreased 6.3 percentage points to 67.9% and average passenger yields decreased 15.3% to 23.14 cents (R$), resulting in a RASK of 16.67 cents (R$), a 21.5% decrease vs. 4Q05. Average fares decreased 5.9% from R$219 to R$206. Net revenues reached R$1.0bn, representing growth of 23.2%.

•      
4Q06 yields and load factors were negatively affected by the air traffic control bottlenecks, which affected major airports in Brazil. December, a seasonally high traffic month, was particularly affected, with a decrease of 30% in ticket sales vs. November and an increase in the number of no- shows, due to the significant delays, passenger inconvenience, and negative publicity. We expect that the impact of the air traffic control operational issues will be reduced in the first quarter of 2007; we expect yields of 22 cents of Real and load factors of approximately 72%.
 
•      
GOL’s market share of the domestic and international regular air transportation at the end of 4Q06 was 37% and 13%, respectively, up from 30% and 3% at the end of 4Q05.
 
•    
On-time arrivals and flight completion averaged, respectively, 68% and 92% (ANAC data) during 4Q06. Passenger complaints and lost baggage per 1,000 passengers averaged 2.32 and 0.39, respectively. Passenger complaints increased 18.3% in December due to delays caused by the air traffic control crisis. Passenger complaints in January have returned to normal levels. GOL’s website accounted for 80% of ticket sales in 4Q06. In December, sales through the GOL website decreased 35%, due to the de-stimulation of demand related to the external effects in the quarter.
 
•  
In 4Q06, GOL added 102 new daily flight frequencies and launched two new destinations: Imperatriz in the state of Maranhão, and Chapecó, in the state of Santa Catarina. GOL commenced flights to Santiago, Chile via Buenos Aires at the end of September 2006. In the fourth quarter, GOL added direct flights to Santiago from São Paulo, increasing total daily flights to Chile to five. On January 16, 2007, GOL began ticket sales to its eighth international destination, Lima, Peru.
 
•    
Eleven Boeing 737 aircraft were added to the fleet during 4Q06, increasing the total fleet to 65 aircraft. Three 737 NGs will join the fleet during 1Q07.
 
•    
On October 30, 2006, GOL increased the number of firm aircraft orders with Boeing from 67 to 87 aircraft, as part of the Company’s ongoing expansion and cost reduction plans. GOL also increased the number of options by 20 aircraft, bringing the total order size to 121 Next Generation 737-800 aircraft. The contract is the largest signed between Boeing and a Latin American company.
 
•    
In November 2006, GOL celebrated one year since the launch of the “Voe Fácil” (Fly Easy) Program, a payment mechanism that allows the purchase of tickets in up to 36 installments. The program has issued more than 500,000 cards.
 
•    
A net quarterly dividend payment of R$42.4mm (R$ 0.2012 net per share and US$0.0939 net per ADS) was approved at the December 13, 2006, and January 29, 2007, Board Meetings to be paid on February 10, 2007, as interest on shareholders’ equity (to shareholders of record as of 12/20/2006) and on March 26, 2007, as supplementary dividends (to shareholders of record as of 02/15/2007). For the full year 2006, GOL distributed a net total of R$162.6mm, representing 25.0% of base net income to shareholders. In 2007, GOL will distribute a fixed quarterly dividend of R$0.35 per share, representing an estimated payout of 26-29% of base net income and an estimated dividend yield of 2.0%.
 
•    
In 2006, GOL provided some of the highest returns on assets and capital in the LCC industry worldwide: return on equity (ROE) was 25.8%, return on assets (ROA) was 13.2% and return on invested capital (ROIC) was 17.1%. Revenue per aircraft of US$34.9mm represented one of the highest levels of aircraft revenue productivity in the world. A superior cost advantage, combined with a strong balance sheet, allows GOL to be one of the world leaders in profitability and returns.
 
•    
GOL’s ADRs had an average daily trading volume of US$38.8mm during 4Q06, as compared to US$15.4mm in 4Q05. GOL’s PN shares had an average daily trading volume of R$29.4mm in 4Q06, compared to R$4.8mm in 4Q05. On January 3, 2007, GOL’s PN shares were added to the Ibovespa index with a 1.05% weighting for the four-month period between January and April 2007.

MANAGEMENT’S COMMENTS ON 4Q06 RESULTS 

In the fourth quarter of 2006, GOL relied on its “virtuous cycle” to popularize air travel in South America during a challenging environment for Brazil’s airline industry. The Company maintained its high quality service while increasing the size of its fleet. “The Company was able to further consolidate its position as the second-largest domestic airline in Brazil, while rapidly growing in South America, through the addition of 11 aircraft and 102 flight frequencies during the quarter. The dedication and teamwork of GOL’s employees minimized the impact of flight delays and cancellations faced in the fourth quarter,“ commented Constantino de Oliveira Junior, GOL’s President and CEO.

4Q06 results were solid given the challenges caused by the operational difficulties that affected the airline sector in Brazil. Planned capacity additions in the fourth quarter of approximately 56% over the same period in 2005 coincided with flight cancellations and delays in Brazil’s major airports due to the air traffic control slowdown, which, combined with negative publicity, provoked a de-stimulation of demand during a seasonally high travel period, producing lower than expected yields and load factors. We estimate that revenues were reduced by approximately R$150mm in 4Q06 related to the crisis. Even though revenue optimization was negatively affected by the crisis, underlying demand for air passenger travel has been strong in the month of January and we have had record levels of ticket sales, strong load factors and solid forward bookings.

In 4Q06, GOL increased aircraft utilization rates while maintaining market cost leadership. Passengers transported in 4Q06 increased 29.4% over 4Q05. GOL’s load factor decreased 6.3 percentage points to 67.9% due to demand de-stimulation during a high travel season. Aircraft utilization was at 14.2 block hours per day (increasing 2.2% over 4Q05). Operating costs per ASK, excluding fuel, decreased approximately 6% to 9.36 cents (R$). Fuel costs per available seat kilometer (ASK) decreased 19.0% year-over-year and helped to decrease total operating cost per seat kilometer (CASK) by 11.1% to 14.82 cents (R$). Cost reductions per ASK were driven by reduced sales and marketing expenses, lower fuel expenses, lower aircraft rent expenses and lower depreciation expenses. “Our absolute market cost leadership is key to our virtuous cycle and allowed us to provide the lowest fares and the best customer value proposition in the market, even during a challenging industry environment,” added Richard Lark, GOL’s CFO.

In terms of future perspectives, besides maintaining high levels of productivity and profitability, short-term growth will be driven by the addition of new aircraft, new destinations and new frequencies. The addition of three Boeing 737 NG aircraft to the fleet in the first quarter of 2007 will increase ASKs by approximately 60% year-over-year.

GOL remains committed to its strategy of profitable expansion based on a low cost structure and high quality customer service. “We are very proud that 55 million passengers have chosen to fly GOL, and we continue to make every effort to offer our customers the best in air travel: new, modern aircraft, frequent flights in major markets, an ever-expanding integrated route system and lower prices; all of which is made possible by our dedicated team of employees who are the key to our success," stated CEO Oliveira. “By remaining focused on our low-cost business model, while continuing to grow, innovate and provide the lowest fares, we will continue to create value for our customers, employees and shareholders.”

REVENUES 

Net operating revenues, principally revenues from passenger transportation, increased 23.2% to R$1.0bn, primarily due to higher revenue passenger kilometers (RPK), offset by lower than expected yields and load factors due to demand de-stimulation caused by the air traffic control operational issues which affected the Brazilian aviation industry. In 4Q06, RPK growth was driven by a 36.4% increase in departures and 19.9% increase in stage length, but offset by a decrease in load factor from 74.2% to 67.9% due to reduced bookings and higher no-shows. RPKs grew 43.7% to 4,123mm, and revenue passengers grew 29.4% to 4.7mm.

Average fares decreased 5.9% from R$219 to R$206 and yields decreased 15.3% to 23.14 cents (R$) per passenger kilometer, mainly due to a 19.9% increase in stage length. We experienced a 31% drop in sales in December vs. November related to the air traffic control operational issues and negative publicity about airport delays.

The industry environment contributed to a 21.5% decrease in operating revenues per ASK to R$16.67 cents in 4Q06 vs. R$21.23 cents in 4Q05. We estimate that revenues were reduced by approximately R$150mm due to the air traffic control bottlenecks.

The 56.9% year-over-year capacity expansion, represented by ASKs, facilitated the addition of 102 new daily flight frequencies (including 32 night flights) and two new domestic destinations in 4Q06. The addition of 7.8 average operating aircraft during the quarter (from 51.2 to 59.0 aircraft) drove the ASK increase.

The growth in RPKs resulted in a higher domestic market share for GOL, reaching 37% at the end of 4Q06, compared to 30% in the end of 4Q05. Through its regular international flights to Buenos Aires, Cordoba and Rosario (Argentina), Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia), Montevideo (Uruguay), Asuncion (Paraguay) and Santiago (Chile), GOL achieved a sharp increase in year-over year international market share to 13% (share of Brazilian airlines flying to international destinations) in the same period. Approximately 10% of GOL’s total RPKs were related to international passenger traffic.

Complementing net operating revenues, cargo transportation activities primarily contributed to the expansion of other operating revenues, increasing from R$37.1mm to R$58.0mm.

- 5 / 28 -


OPERATING EXPENSES 

Total CASK decreased 11.1% to 14.82 cents (R$), due to lower sales and marketing expenses, a reduction in fuel prices and lower aircraft rent expenses per ASK. Operating expenses per ASK excluding fuel decreased by 5.7% to 9.36 cents (R$). Total operating expenses increased 39.4%, reaching R$899.6mm, due to higher fuel expenses, increased air traffic servicing expenses, higher maintenance expenses and the expansion of our operations (fleet and employee expansion and a higher volume of landing fees). The R$70.4mm increase in fuel expenses was due to an increase in fuel consumption and partially offset by lower fuel prices per liter. Due to flight delays caused by air traffic control operational issues, we estimate that our costs increased by R$41mm in 4Q06 (more fuel consumption and higher cancelled flights expenses). Excluding the effects of the air traffic control operational issues in 4Q06, CASK was 14.14 cents of Real. Breakeven load factor increased 2.1 percentage points to 60.4% vs. 58.3% in 4Q05.

Results from GOL’s operating expense (jet fuel price and USD exchange rate) hedging programs are accounted for in accordance with SFAS 133 (Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No 133), “Accounting for Derivatives and Hedging Activities.”

The breakdown of our costs and operational expenses for 4Q06, 4Q05 and 3Q06 is as follows:

- 7 / 28 -


Salaries, wages and benefits expenses per available seat kilometer (ASK) increased 0.5% to 2.15 cents (R$), mainly due to a 6.0% cost of living increase on salaries in December 2005 and a 62% increase in the number of full-time equivalent employees, to 8,840, related to planned 4Q06 and 1Q07 capacity expansion, and offset by productivity gains.

Aircraft fuel expenses per ASK decreased 19.0% over 4Q05 to 5.46 cents (R$), mainly due to lower fuel price per liter and a proportionally more fuel efficient fleet (additional larger, winglet-equipped 737-800 SFP aircraft in the fleet). The decrease in average fuel price per liter over 4Q05 was primarily due to a decrease of 0.1% on international crude oil (WTI) prices and a 5.0% decrease in Gulf Coast jet fuel prices, in addition to the 4.4% Brazilian Real appreciation against the U.S. Dollar (factors influencing the determination of Brazilian jet fuel prices). The Company has hedged approximately 87%, 75% and 21% of its fuel requirements for 1Q07, 2Q07 and 3Q07, respectively.

Aircraft rent per ASK decreased 16.2% to 1.40 cents (R$) in 4Q06, primarily due to a high aircraft utilization rate (14.2 block hours per day and 6.2% more ASKs per aircraft), a 4.4% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S Dollar vs. 4Q05, and amortized gains on sale-leaseback transactions for eight 737-800 aircraft during 4Q06 (amortized over the term of the leases).

Sales and marketing expenses per ASK decreased 47.8% to 1.41 cents (R$) due to a reduction in marketing activities during the quarter, as activities were suspended in memoriam of the victims of the accident of Flight 1907, and a higher aircraft utilization rate (6.2% more ASKs per aircraft). During the quarter, GOL booked a majority of its ticket sales through a combination of its website (80.2%) and its call center (11.2%) .

Landing fees per ASK increased 4.2% to 0.75 cents (R$), due to a 21% increase in landing rates and an increase in landings at international airports (which have higher rates), partially offset by increased average stage length and a higher aircraft utilization rate (6.2% more ASKs per aircraft).

Aircraft and traffic servicing expenses per ASK increased 84.9% to 1.35 cents (R$), mainly due to higher ground handling services expenses (landings increased 36.4%) and increases in consulting and technology services, partially offset by an increased average stage length and a higher aircraft utilization rate (14.2 block hours per day and 6.2% more ASKs per aircraft).

Maintenance, materials and repairs per ASK increased 36.9% to 0.89 cents (R$), primarily due to a higher number of scheduled maintenance services during 4Q06. This was partially offset by a 4.4% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar. Main expenses during the quarter were related to the scheduled maintenance of eight engines, in the amount of R$22.3mm; repair of rotable materials, in the amount of R$10.9mm; and the use of spare parts inventory, in the amount of R$9.1mm.

Depreciation per ASK increased 37.9% to 0.40 cents (R$), due to a higher amount of fixed assets (particularly spare parts inventory) and an increase of R$0.9mm related to depreciation of three new 737-800 NG aircraft which entered the fleet in 4Q06, and two 737-700 aircraft classified as capital leases.

Other operating expenses per ASK were 1.01 cents (R$), a 1.9% decrease when compared to the same period of the previous year, due to decreases in insurance expenses, flight crew lodging and direct passenger expenses. Insurance expenses, at 0.16 cents (R$) per ASK (R$9.8mm total) decreased 23.0%, due to a reduction in average premium rates, a 4.4% appreciation of the Brazilian Real against the U.S. Dollar, and a higher aircraft utilization rate.

COMMENTS ON EBITDA AND EBITDAR1 

The impact of a 4.56 cent (R$) RASK decrease partially offset by a CASK decrease of 1.85 cents (R$), resulted in a decrease of EBITDA per available seat kilometer to 2.25 cents (R$) in 4Q06. Compared to 3Q06, EBITDA per ASK decreased 53.1% . 4Q06 EBITDA totaled R$136.4mm in the period compared to R$187.3mm in 4Q05 (a 27.2% decrease) and R$249.8mm in 3Q06 (a 45.4% decrease).

Aircraft rent represents a significant operating expense for GOL. As GOL today leases most of its aircraft, we believe that EBITDAR, equivalent to EBITDA before aircraft rent expenses (which are USD-denominated) is a useful measure of relative operating performance for our investors and users of our financial statements. On a per available seat kilometer basis, EBITDAR was 3.65 cents (R$) in 4Q06, compared to 6.52 cents (R$) in 4Q05. EBITDAR amounted to R$221.5mm in 4Q06, compared to R$251.8mm in the same period last year and R$317.3mm in 3Q06.

____________________________________________

EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and EBITDAR (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and rent) are non-USGAAP measures and are presented as supplemental information because we believe they are useful indicators of our operating performance for our investors. We usually present EBITDAR, in addition to EBITDA, because aircraft leasing represents a significant operating expense of our business, and we believe the impact of this expense should be considered in addition to the impact of depreciation and amortization. However, neither figure should be considered in isolation, as a substitute for net income prepared in accordance with US GAAP, BR GAAP or as a measure of a company’s profitability. In addition, our calculations may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

FINANCIAL RESULTS 

Net financial income increased R$2.3mm. Interest expense increased R$14.8mm primarily due to an increase in long-term debt and a higher amount of short-term working capital debt related to increased operations. Interest income increased R$5.3mm primarily due to a higher volume of cash and short-term investments, partially offset by a 5.2 percentage point decrease in average Brazilian interest rates (as measured by the CDI rate).

CASH FLOW 

Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments increased R$100.1mm during 4Q06. Cash provided by operating activities was R$88.9mm, mainly due to an increase in other liabilities (R$97.8mm), an increase in earnings from operations (R$92.7mm) and a decrease in accounts receivable (R$34.4mm), partially offset by an increase in deposits with lessors (R$100.2mm) . The amount of maintenance deposits was US$125.3mm at December 31, 2006.

Net cash used in investing activities was R$284.8mm, consisting primarily of acquisition of property and equipment (R$364.7mm), including aircraft of R$217.9mm, partially offset by return of advances for aircraft acquisition (R$78.8mm), related to five aircraft during the quarter.

Net cash provided by financing activities during 4Q06 was R$296.1mm, mainly due to an increase in long-term borrowings related to three Boeing 737-800NGs (R$200.0mm), and an increase in capitalized leases related to two Boeing 737-700 NGs (R$62.0mm) .

OUTLOOK 

GOL continues to invest in its successful low-cost, low-fare business model. We continue to evaluate opportunities to expand our operations by adding new flights in Brazil as well as expanding into other high-traffic centers across South America. We expect to benefit from economies of scale as we continue to add new aircraft to our already well-established and highly efficient operating network. We expect to reduce our non-fuel cost per available seat-kilometer (CASK) as we continue to reduce the age of our fleet, operate an even more fuel efficient fleet, benefit from the cost savings associated with our Aircraft Maintenance Facility, and improve upon our cost-efficient distribution channels. We anticipate a solid first quarter, thanks to the dedicated effort of our employees to improve productivity throughout the Company.

The air traffic control operational issues that affected 4Q06 results are being resolved through a variety of measures. Approximately 60 new controllers were hired in the last two months and more will be hired this year. The government also plans to invest in upgrading equipment and systems. To meet the projected capacity growth of the industry, Infraero, Brazil’s airport operator, and the government announced this month that they plan to invest R$6 billion through 2010 as part of the “Accelerated Growth Program.” Investment in airports will be approximately R$1.8 billion.

The air passenger transportation market in Brazil remains largely under-penetrated, and more available seats at low fares is important for the continued development of the sector. GOL is investing to increase its fleet by 15 aircraft in 2007. The scheduled addition of three aircraft to our fleet in the first quarter of 2007 will permit a 60% increase in available seat capacity over 1Q06. For the first quarter of 2007, we expect load factors in the range of 72%, with passenger yields in the range of R$22 cents. In January, GOL has load factors of over 75%, strong forward bookings for February and March, and ticket sales are up 25% vs. December, with average fares of R$213. Air traffic control continues to present operational challenges, and in January, we had over 800 cancelled flights, representing 5% of the total. For the first quarter, we expect non-fuel CASK to be in the range of R$9 cents. We expect that the incorporation of larger, more fuel-efficient aircraft and reductions in jet fuel prices will reduce our fuel costs per ASK by over 10% in 1Q07. We expect a stable foreign exchange rate environment for the near term, supported by good economic fundamentals in the Brazilian economy.

- 13 / 28 -


In the full year 2007, we plan to increase revenues by over 45% while reducing unit costs by approximately 9%. We plan to launch five new domestic and three new international markets while adding over 130 new daily flight frequencies. We plan to stimulate more air travel demand in the middle and lower income segments through our innovative payment mechanisms. We are confident that 2007 will be record year as we continue to popularize air travel transportation in South America and double our international flight operations.

Financial guidance for 2007 is based on GOL’s planned capacity expansion and the expected high demand for our passenger transportation services, driven by strong Brazilian economic fundamentals and GOL’s demand-stimulating low fares. For 2007, we expect to add 15 aircraft to the fleet and expand capacity by approximately 50% to adequately serve anticipated passenger demand and add new routes and markets in Brazil and South America. Passenger yields are expected to reduce approximately 7% in 2007, primarily due to an increased stage length, and RASK is expected to reduce in the range of 4%. Our projections are for a 2007 full-year EPS in the range of R$5.20 to R$5.65. Full-year non-fuel CASK is expected to be in the R$8.5 cent (R$) range, representing an 8% reduction over 2006. Fuel costs per ASK are expected to reduce approximately 10% in the year, due to larger more fuel-efficient aircraft and lower fuel prices. Full-year operating margins are expected to be in the 23% range. We plan to continue to popularize air travel in South America through expansion, technological innovation, improved operating efficiency, strict cost management, the lowest fares and high quality passenger service.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY 

In 4Q06, GOL was involved in social and cultural activities focusing on children, health and education, with organizations such as AACD (Challenged Children Care Association), APAE (Parents and Friends of Challenged Association), Pastoral da Criança (Children’s Mission), Instituto Criar de TV e Cinema (Creating TV and Movies Institute), and made investments in local music shows, national cinema and theatre. Total contributions to social activities were approximately R$1.0mm during the quarter.

As presented in our Value Added Statements, in 2006 GOL distributed a total value-add of R$944mm to employees, government, financiers, lessors, and shareholders, and re-invested R$711mm.
