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.

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. |
| · | A Ps.33.6 million decline in deferred income
taxes, mainly in Colombia |
Majority Net Income
ASUR reported Majority Net Income of Ps.2,537.1
million in 4Q23, compared to Ps.2,561.2 million in 4Q22. This resulted in earnings per common share in 4Q23 of Ps.8.4570, or earnings
per ADS of US$4.9985 (one ADS represents ten series B common shares). This compares to earnings per share of Ps.8.5374, or earnings per
ADS of US$5.0460 for 4Q22.
Net Income
ASUR reported Net Income of Ps.2,617.1
million in 4Q23, a decline of 4.8%, or Ps.132.6 million, from Ps.2,749.7 million in 4Q22.
Consolidated Financial Position
Airport concessions represented 70.1% of ASUR’s
total assets on December 31, 2023, with current assets representing 29.2% and other assets 0.7%.
As of December 31, 2023, cash and cash equivalents
amounted to Ps.15,691.8 million, a 19.1% increase from Ps.13,175.0 million as of December 31, 2022. Mexico, Colombia and Puerto Rico contributed

investment in Aerostar in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations," had the following effects on its balance sheet: (i)
the recognition of a net intangible asset of Ps.4,499.9 million, (ii) goodwill of Ps.808.3 million (net of an impairment of Ps.4,719.1
million), (iii) deferred taxes of Ps.450.0 million, and (iv) a minority interest of Ps.4,789.7 million in stockholders' equity.

respectively. Deferred liabilities represented 15.5% of ASUR’s total liabilities.
Total Debt at year-end declined 19.6% to Ps.12,224.8
million from Ps.15,204.8 million on December 31, 2022, mainly reflecting (i) the FX conversion impact on the Notes issued by Aerostar
in Puerto Rico reflecting peso appreciation against the U.S. dollar, and (ii) payment of principal amounts of outstanding debt of Ps.1,475.0
million in Mexico and Ps.200.5 million in Puerto Rico.
On December 31, 2023, 20.6% of ASUR’s Total
Debt was denominated in Mexican pesos, 71.6% in U.S. Dollars (at Aerostar in Puerto Rico) and 7.8% in Colombian pesos (debt at Airplan
in Colombia).
In July 2022, Aerostar in Puerto Rico issued US$200
million principal amount of 4.92% senior secured notes due March 22, 2035. In May 2022, Aerostar renegotiated the terms of its US$50 million
principal amount of 6.75% senior secured notes originally due on June 24, 2015, and extended their maturity through March 22, 2035. All

In April 2023, Banco Popular transferred to the
Bank of Bogotá its interests under the syndicated loan entered into with Airplan by issuing promissory notes under the same terms
and conditions than the original loan.
LTM Net Debt-to-LTM EBITDA stood at negative 0.2x
at the close of 4Q23, while the Interest Coverage Ratio was 11.3x. This compares with LTM Net Debt-to-LTM EBITDA of 0.1x and an Interest
Coverage Ratio of 12.6x at December 31, 2022, respectively.
On October 20, 2023,
Aerostar, in Puerto Rico, paid dividends to Cancun Airport of Ps.720.9 million and reimbursed an investment of Ps.209.0 million. Aerostar

of 0.80% in real terms.
ASUR Announces Update on Government Action to Amend
the Tariff Base Regulation
On October 19, 2023, ASUR received a notification
from the Federal Civil Aviation Agency (Agencia Federal de Aviacion Civil, “AFAC”), a deconcentrated entity of the Secretary
of Infrastructure, Communications and Transport (“SICT”), pursuant to which the SICT revised effective immediately certain
provisions (the “Amended Terms”) of the previously announced amendment to the terms of the tariff base regulation set forth
in Annex 7 of the concession agreements dated June 29, 1998, as amended on March 19, 1999. The full text of the Tariff Regulation Basis
received on October 19 can be found on ASUR´s website www.asur.com.mx
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.

Total Mexico Operating Costs and Expenses
declined 20.5% YoY, or Ps.517.3 million. Excluding construction costs, operating costs and expenses increased 10.0%, or Ps.134.2 million,
mainly reflecting higher personnel expenses, technical assistance, concession fees, surveillance and cleaning services, maintenance and
conservation costs. 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.
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.

Mexico Tariff Regulation
The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation
regulates the majority of ASUR’s activities by setting maximum rates, which represent the maximum possible revenues allowed per
traffic unit at each airport.
ASUR’s accumulated regulated revenues at
its Mexican operations, as of December 31, 2023 totaled Ps.11,694.9 million, with an average tariff per workload unit of Ps.262.9 (December
2022 Mexican pesos), representing approximately 64.4% of total income in Mexico (excluding construction revenues) for the period.
The Mexican
Ministry of Communications and Transportation reviews compliance with maximum rate regulations at the end of each year.
On December 13, 2023, ASUR announced the approval
of its 2024-2028 investment plan totaling Ps.28.5 billion expressed in currency as of December 2022. See 4Q23 Relevant Events on Page

Total Operating Costs and Expenses for
4Q23 in Puerto Rico declined 4.3% YoY to Ps.755.4 million. Construction costs declined 10.5%, from Ps.200.0 million in 4Q22 to Ps.179.1
million in 4Q23.
Excluding construction costs, operating costs
and expenses declined 2.2% YoY, or Ps.13.0 million, principally reflecting lower concession fees and depreciation and amortization,
partially offset by an increase in professional fees.
Cost of Services increased 2.8% or Ps.10.1
million in 4Q23, mainly reflecting an increase in professional fees.
Concession Fees paid to the Puerto Rican
government declined 15.7% YoY, or Ps.7.9 million, in 4Q23 consistent with the terms agreed under the concession agreement.
Depreciation and Amortization declined
8.8% YoY, or Ps.15.2 million, principally reflecting the foreign exchange translation impact at the quarter-end, and average Mexican peso
exchange rate fluctuation from Ps.16.919 and Ps.17.5463 per U.S. dollar in 4Q22, to Ps.19.4715 and Ps.20.1131 per U.S. dollar, respectively
in 4Q23.

During 4Q23, Puerto Rico reported a Ps.101.1 million
Comprehensive Financing Loss, compared to a Ps.121.9 million loss in 4Q22, principally reflecting principal payments made on Aerostar’s
outstanding debt.
On March 22, 2013, Aerostar carried out a private
bond placement for a total of US$350.0 million to finance a portion of the Concession Agreement payment to the Puerto Rico Ports Authority,
and certain other costs and expenditures associated with it. On June 24, 2015, Aerostar carried out a private bond placement for a total
of US$50.0 million.
In December 2020, Aerostar entered into a three-year
revolving line of credit with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico for the amount of US$20.0 million.
In May 2022, Aerostar renegotiated the terms of
its US$50.0 million principal amount of 6.75% senior secured notes, extending the maturity to March 22, 2035.
In July 2022, Aerostar in Puerto Rico issued US$200.0
million principal amount of 4.92% senior secured notes due March 22, 2035.
On November 15, 2023, Aerostar extended the maturity
date of the revolving credit line with Banco Popular de Puerto Rico, now maturing December 29, 2026. As of December 31, 2023, this credit
line has not been drawn.
All long-term debt is collateralized by Aerostar’s
assets.

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.
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'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.
