** Azul reported an adjusted net loss of 1.82 billion reais ($325.08 million) for the quarter ended on March 31, deeper than the 324 million-real net loss posted a year earlier
** The carrier since last year has been seeking to restructure its debt and improve liquidity as it faces financial hurdles
** "We expect a negative stock reaction with continued pressure stemming from Azul's ongoing liability management plan and the forecasted substantial equity dilution exceeding 80%," JPMorgan analysts say

** Year-to-date, Azul's shares fall 66%
