Brazilian airline Azul SA and its creditors are actively exploring restructuring options, including a potential Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, as the company grapples with mounting debt. Azul has confirmed that its operations will continue regardless of the outcome of these discussions. The company's stock fell over 11% following the announcement, despite reporting a record first-quarter revenue of R$5.394 billion, up 15.3% year-over-year. However, Azul's Ebitda fell by 2.1% to R$1.386 billion, and its adjusted net loss was R$1.817 billion, reflecting pressures from increased costs. Azul transported 8 million passengers, with RPK up 19.4% and ASK up 15.6%, achieving a load factor of 81.5%.

Banco do Brasil's ROAE stood at 16.7%, with a credit portfolio of R$1.27 trillion, including R$335.8 billion in credit to individuals and R$406.2 billion to agribusiness. The bank's delinquency rate rose to 3.86%. Gol Linhas Aéreas Inteligentes SA reported a significant drop in first-quarter profit to R$1.37 billion, a 63.7% decrease year-over-year, attributed to a 24.9% rise in operating costs and expenses, primarily due to currency devaluation.

Americanas SA reported a loss of nearly R$500 million, affected by Easter sales. Casas Bahia's loss surged by 56% to over R$400 million, influenced by higher interest rates and increased debt.
