Consolidated Revenues

 

Consolidated Revenues declined 5.5% year-over-year, or Ps.396.6 million, to Ps.6,876.9 million, mainly due to the following variations:

 

·A 48.6%, or Ps.676.6 million, year-over-year decline in construction services revenues to Ps.716.1, principally in Mexico,
·A 3.7% increase in revenues from aeronautical services to Ps.3,844.0 million. Mexico contributed Ps.2,832.5 million, while Puerto Rico and Colombia accounted for Ps.493.3 million and Ps.518.2 million, respectively; and
·A 6.6% increase in revenues from non-aeronautical services to Ps.2,316.8 million. Mexico contributed Ps.1,749.0 million, while Puerto Rico and Colombia accounted for Ps.392.6 million and Ps.175.2 million, respectively.

 

Excluding revenues from construction services, for which an equivalent expense is recorded under IFRS accounting standards, total revenues would have increased 4.8% year-over-year to Ps.6,160.8 million.

 

Excluding revenues from construction services, Mexico represented 74.4% of ASUR´s total revenues in 4Q23, while Puerto Rico and Colombia represented 14.4% and 11.3%, respectively.

 

Commercial Revenues in 4Q23 increased 7.2% YoY to Ps.2,136.0 million, mainly reflecting the 0.5% increase in passenger traffic (including transit and general aviation passengers). Commercial revenue growth was driven by increases of 8.4% to Ps.1,570.8 million in Mexico, 2.6% to Ps.390.4 million in Puerto Rico, and 7.6% to Ps.174.8 million in Colombia.

 

Commercial Revenues per Passenger increased YoY to Ps.119.0 in 4Q23, from Ps.111.6 in 4Q22.

Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses, including construction costs, declined 12.2% year-over-year, or Ps.449.5 million, to Ps.3,229.7 million in 4Q23.

 

Excluding construction costs, operating costs and expenses increased 9.9%, or Ps.227.1 million, reflecting the following factors:

 

·Mexico: increased 10.0%, or Ps.134.2 million, mainly reflecting higher costs in connection to personnel, uncollectible accounts, technical assistance, concession fees, security and cleaning services, maintenance and conservation, together with higher cost of sales from directly operated stores.

 

·Puerto Rico: declined 2.2%, or Ps.13.0 million, reflecting lower concession fees, amortization, and depreciation, partially offset by an increase in professional fees.

 

·Colombia: increased 29.4%, or Ps.105.9 million, mainly reflecting increases in maintenance and conservation, personnel costs, taxes and duties, security and cleaning services, insurance and bonds, and concession fees.

 

Cost of Services increased 18.1%, or Ps.206.3 million, year-over-year mainly reflecting increases in personnel costs, surveillance and cleaning services, maintenance and conservation, uncollectible accounts, professional fees, and in insurance and bonds. Higher cost of revenues from concession stores operated directly by ASUR also contributed to this increase.

 

Construction Costs declined 48.6% YoY, or Ps.676.6 million. This was mainly driven by year-over-year declines of 55.1%, or Ps.651.5 million, in construction costs in Mexico, 10.5%, or Ps.21.0 million, in Puerto Rico, and 43.2%, Ps.4.1 million, in Colombia.

 

Administrative Expenses that reflect administrative costs in Mexico increased 15.7% year-over-year.

 

Consolidated Technical Assistance increased by 5.1% year-on-year.

 

Concession Fees increased 2.5% YoY, principally reflecting increases of 5.3% in Mexico due to higher regulated revenues, and 5.4% in Colombia as a result of higher revenues, a factor in the calculation of the concession fee. This was partially offset by a decline of 15.7% in Puerto Rico.

 

Depreciation and Amortization declined 1.5% YoY, or Ps.8.1 million, principally due to decreases of 17.0%, or Ps.19.4 million in Colombia and 8.8%, or Ps.15.2 million in Puerto Rico, partially offset by an increase of 10.8% or Ps.26.5 million in Mexico.

 

Consolidated Operating Profit and EBITDA

 

ASUR reported a Consolidated Operating Profit of Ps.3,647.3 million in 4Q23, representing an operating margin of 53.0%, compared to Ps.3,894.8 million in 4Q22 and an operating margin of 53.5%. Operating profit in 4Q22 benefited from other income amounting to Ps.300.4 million derived from a judgment ruled in favor of Aerostar in connection with Aerostar´s right to charge a fee for each gallon of aviation fuel that was dispatched at the airport between 2013 and 2021 in line with NIIF 37 and USGAAP ASC-450-30-25-1. Excluding this non-recurring benefit in 4Q22, operating profit for 4Q23 would have increased 1.5% from Ps.3,594.4 million in 4Q22, with operating margin expanding 3.6 percentage points from 49.4% in 4Q22.

 

Adjusted Operating Margin, which excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction of or improvements to concessioned assets in Mexico, Colombia, and Puerto Rico, was 59.2% in 4Q23 compared to 66.2% in 4Q22 when excluding the one-time income mentioned above during 4Q22. Adjusted operating margin is calculated as operating profit or loss divided by total revenues less construction services revenues.

 

EBITDA declined 5.8%, or Ps.255.6 million, to Ps.4,171.4 million in 4Q23, from Ps.4,427.1 million in 4Q22. By country of operations, EBITDA increased by 4.7% or Ps.153.0 million to Ps.3,382.0 million in Mexico, and declined by 40.0%, or Ps.311.3 million, to Ps.467.6 million in Puerto Rico and 23.2%, or Ps.97.4 million, to Ps.321.8 million in Colombia. Consolidated EBITDA margin in 4Q23 was 60.7% compared to 60.9% in 4Q22.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction of or improvements to concessioned assets in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia, was 67.7% in 4Q23, compared to 75.3% in 4Q22 and 70.2 when excluding other non-recurring income in 4Q22.

Total (294,921) 101,052 n/a   (613,416) (613,753) 0.1

 

In 4Q23 ASUR reported a Ps.101.0 million Consolidated Comprehensive Financing Gain, compared to a Ps.294.9 million loss in 4Q22. This variation is mainly attributed to an increase of 163.4%, or Ps.305.7 million in interest income reflecting a higher cash balance position, combined with a 16.5% decline, or Ps.51.4 million in interest expenses resulting from principal payments in Mexico and Puerto Rico.

 

During 4Q23 ASUR reported a foreign exchange loss of Ps.132.0 million, resulting from the 2.8% quarter-end appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar (0.8% average depreciation) during the period, together with a U.S. dollar net asset position. This compares to a Ps.170.8 million foreign exchange loss in 4Q22 resulting from the 3.1% quarter-end appreciation of the Mexican peso (2.0% average appreciation) on a U.S. dollar net asset position.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

Income Taxes for 4Q23 increased Ps.277.6 million YoY, principally due to the following variations:

 

·A Ps.311.3 million increase in income taxes, reflecting mainly a higher taxable income base in Mexico.

Recent Developments on Joint Business Investment to Develop and Build and International Airport in Bavaro, Dominican Republic

 

In 2023, ASUR, through a subsidiary in the United States, entered into an investment agreement with certain investors, including CVC One, Inc. and Grupo Abrisa, S.R.L., for the purpose of developing, constructing, and operating an international airport in Bavaro, Dominican Republic. As of December 31, 2023, ASUR has made equity investments in Aeropuerto Internacional de Bavaro AIB, S.A.S. (the venture created to develop this project), totaling US$ 17.8 million before the start of construction. ASUR expects to operate the airport and maintain a 25% stake in the undertaking with an estimated total investment of US$66.0 million once construction is completed. The disbursement of the remaining amount of the total investment by ASUR is conditioned, among other things, on the approval of the environmental permit and the feasibility approval of the aeronautical authority, both of which have been obtained in 2020 and are currently in litigation before Dominican courts.

 

On December 21, 2023, the Supreme Court of Justice rejected the appeal filed by the Aeropuerto Internacional de Bávaro, AIB, SAS against judgment that suspended the permit to start construction previously issued by the Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC).

 

On January 5, 2024, the President of the Dominican Republic issued a decree repealing the previous decree which had approved the establishment of the Bavaro International Airport. On January 19, 2024, an appeal for Constitutional Review was brought before the Constitutional Court against the Supreme Court of Justice Judgment notified on December 21, 2023.

 

In the event that the Dominican courts issue a final judgment declaring the airport project against the public interest and in turn revoke the permits already obtained, the construction of the airport will not go ahead, which may affect our revenues, expenses, and net income.

Higher cost of sales at stores operated by ASUR also contributed to the increase in costs.

 

Cost of Services increased 11.9% YoY, primarily due to increases in surveillance and cleaning services, maintenance, and conservation, together with a higher cost of sales at stores directly operated by ASUR and personnel expenses.

 

Administrative Expenses increased 15.7% YoY, mainly reflecting increased personnel expenses.

 

ASUR 4Q23 Page 11 of 26

 

 

The Technical Assistance fee increased 5.1% YoY, reflecting higher EBITDA in Mexico, which is used in the fee calculation. During 4Q23, ASUR concluded negotiations its strategic partner Inversiones y Técnicas Aeroportuarias, S.A.P.I. DE C.V. (“ITA”), which holds a 7.65% stake in the Company, to reduce the technical assistance fees charged by ITA in connection with its airport operations in Mexico to 2.5% from 5.0% of the EBITDA generated by its Mexican operations starting January 2024.

 

Concession Fees, which include fees paid to the Mexican government, increased by 5.3%, principally due to the increase in regulated revenues, which are used in the calculation of the concession fee.

 

Depreciation and Amortization increased 10.8% YoY, reflecting the recognition of investments made to date.

During 4Q23, ASUR’s Mexico operations reported a Ps.160.0 million Comprehensive Financing Gain, compared to a Ps.178.1 million loss in 4Q22. This was mainly due to a 210.1% YoY, or Ps.262.2 million, increase in interest income resulting from a higher cash balance, combined with a decline of 29.3% YoY, or Ps.38.3 million, in interest expenses mainly due to principal payments.

 

In 4Q23, a Ps.134.8 million foreign exchange loss was reported, resulting from the 2.8% quarter-end appreciation of the Mexican peso (0.8% average depreciation) against the U.S. dollar on a foreign currency net asset position. This compares to a Ps.172.4 million foreign exchange loss in 4Q22, resulting from the 3.1% quarter-end appreciation of the Mexican peso during that period (2.0% average appreciation) against the U.S. dollar on a foreign currency net asset position.

Operating Profit in Puerto Rico declined 48.9% to Ps.309.6 million, resulting in an Operating Margin of 29.1%, from an operating profit of Ps.605.7 million and an Operating Margin of 55.3% in 4Q22. Operating profit in 4Q22 benefited from other income amounting to Ps.300.4 million derived from a judgment ruled in favor of Aerostar in connection with Aerostar´s right to charge a fee for each gallon of aviation fuel that was dispatched at the airport 2013 and 2021 according to NIIF37 and USGAAP ASC-450-30-25-1. Excluding this non-recurring benefit in 4Q22, operating profit for 4Q23 would have increased 1.4% YoY from Ps.305.3 million in 4Q22, with operating margin expanding 1.2 pps from 27.9% in 4Q22.

 

EBITDA declined 40.0% to Ps.467.6 million in 4Q23 from Ps.778.9 million in 4Q22. EBITDA Margin, in turn, decreased to 43.9% in 4Q23 from 71.2% in 4Q22. On a comparable basis, and excluding the one-time income in 4Q22, EBITDA would have declined 2.3% YoY and the EBITDA Margin would have increased been 43.7% in 4Q22.

 

ASUR 4Q23 Page 15 of 26

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (which excludes IFRIC 12) declined to 52.8% in 4Q23, from 87.1% in 4Q22 and 53.5% when excluding the one-time income in 4Q22.

  

 

Puerto Rico Capital Expenditures

 

During 4Q23, capital expenditures amounted to a total of Ps.197.9 million, compared to investments of Ps.212.0 million in 4Q22. Accumulated capital expenditures for 2023 amounted to Ps.465.2 million compared to Ps.440.6 million for 2022.

 

Puerto Rico Tariff Regulation

 

The Airport Use Agreement entered into by and among Aerostar, the airlines serving LMM Airport, and the Puerto Rico Ports Authority governs the relationship between Aerostar and the principal airlines serving LMM Airport. The agreement entitles Aerostar to an annual contribution from the airlines of US$62.0 million during the first five years of the term. From year six onwards, the total annual contribution for the prior year increases in accordance with an adjusted consumer price index factor based on the U.S. non-core consumer price index. The annual fee is divided between the airlines that operate at LMM Airport in accordance with the regulations and structure defined under the Airport Use Agreement to establish the contribution of each airline for each particular year.

Total Operating Costs and Expenses in Colombia increased 27.5% YoY to Ps.471.9 million. Excluding construction costs, operating costs and expenses increased 29.4% YoY to Ps.466.5 million, principally due to increases in maintenance and conservation, personnel, taxes and duties, security and cleaning, insurance and surety bond costs, and concession fees.

 

Cost of Services increased 96.8% YoY, or Ps.118.6 million, principally reflecting the increase in maintenance and conservation, personnel, taxes and duties, cleaning, security, and surety bond costs.

 

Construction Costs declined 43.2% YoY, or Ps.4.1 million, due to lower investments in furniture and equipment.

 

Concession Fees, which include fees paid to the Colombian government, increased 5.4% YoY, mainly reflecting the decrease in regulated and non-regulated revenues during the period.

 

Depreciation and Amortization declined 17.0%.

ASUR 4Q23 Page 18 of 26

 

 

ASUR's Colombian operations reported an Operating Profit of Ps.227.0 million in 4Q23, compared to Ps.305.0 million in 4Q22. Operating margin was 32.5% in 4Q23, compared to an operating margin of 45.2% in 4Q22. The Adjusted operating margin, which excludes the effect of IFRIC12 with respect to construction or improvements to concessioned assets, was 32.7% in 4Q23 compared to an adjusted operating margin of 45.8% in 4Q22.

 

EBITDA in 4Q23 was Ps.321.8 million, resulting in an EBITDA margin of 46.0%. This compares to an EBITDA of Ps.419.2 million and an EBITDA margin of 62.1% in 4Q22.

 

The Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which excludes the effect of IFRIC12 with respect to the construction or improvements of the concessioned assets, was 46.4% in 4Q23, compared to an adjusted EBITDA margin of 63.0% in 4Q22, principally reflecting the decline in passenger traffic and bad debt provisions resulting from the suspension of two local airlines in Colombia in 1Q23.

 

 

Colombia Capital Expenditures

 

In 4Q23, Airplan’s capital investments totaled Ps.5.4 million, compared to Ps.9.6 million in 4Q22. On an accumulated basis, capital investments for FY2023 amounted to Ps.14.3 million compared to Ps.12.7 million in 2022.

 

 

Colombia Tariff Regulation

 

Functions of the Special Administrative Unit of Civil Aeronautics include establishing and collecting fees, tariffs, and rights for the provision of aeronautical and airport services or those generated by concessions, authorizations, licenses, or any other type of income or property. As a result, Resolution 04530, issued on September 21, 2007, establishes tariffs for the rights and the rates conceded to the concessionaire of the following airports: José María Córdova of Rionegro, Enrique Olaya Herrera of Medellín, Los Garzones of Montería, El Caraño of Quibdó, Antonio Roldán Betancourt of Carepa, and Las Brujas of Corozal. This resolution also established the methodology to update and the mechanisms to collect such fees, tariffs, and rights. During 4Q23, Airplan's regulated revenues amounted to Ps.518.2 million.

 

 

Definitions

 

Concession Services Agreements (IFRIC 12 interpretation). In Mexico and Puerto Rico, ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line, “Construction Revenues,” reflecting the revenue from construction or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line “Construction Costs” because ASUR hires third parties to provide construction services. Because equal amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the amount of Construction Revenues does not have an impact on EBITDA, but it does have an impact on EBITDA Margin. In Colombia, “Construction Revenues” include the recognition of the revenue to which the concessionaire is entitled for carrying out the infrastructure works in the development of the concession, while “Construction Costs” represents the actual costs incurred in the execution of such additions or improvements to the concessioned assets.

 

Majority Net Income reflects ASUR’s equity interests in each of its subsidiaries and therefore excludes the 40% interest in Aerostar that is owned by other shareholders. Other than Aerostar, ASUR owns (directly or indirectly) 100% of its subsidiaries.

 

EBITDA means net income before provision for taxes, deferred taxes, profit sharing, non-ordinary items, participation in the results of associates, comprehensive financing cost, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. Our management believes that EBITDA provides a useful measure that is widely used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance and compare it with other companies. EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenues excluding construction services revenues for Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia and excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets. ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line reflecting the revenue from construction or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line “Construction Costs” because ASUR hires third parties to provide construction services. In Mexico and Puerto Rico, because equal amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the amount of Construction Revenues does not have an impact on EBITDA, but it does have an impact on EBITDA Margin, as the increase in revenues that relates to Construction Revenues does not result in a corresponding increase in EBITDA. In Colombia, construction revenues do have an impact on EBITDA, as construction revenues include a reasonable margin over the actual cost of construction. Like EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity and is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.
