2Basis of presentation and accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, accounting policies regarding derivative financial instruments have been applied.

 

These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations (“IFRIC”) issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

 

Elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and the other companies and their respective subsidiaries have been made.

 

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make certain accounting estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting dates, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant areas of judgment by management in the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the main areas of assumptions and estimates are consistent with those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Assets and liabilities are classified as current if settlement is expected within twelve months.

Basis of presentation (Cont.)

 

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period and there were no changes in risk management policies since the end of the year ended December 31, 2023, except for the additional interest rate risk management policies disclosed in Note 19.

 

Derivative financial instruments

 

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into, and they are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument and, if so, the nature of the item being hedged. The group designates certain derivatives as hedges of a particular risk associated with the cash flows of recognized assets and liabilities and highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges), to hedge some of the existing and future interest rate risks through interest rate swaps.

 

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the Other reserve line within equity without affecting profit or loss. Deferred taxes on the fair values of cash flow hedges are also recorded in shareholders’ equity. The effectiveness of the cash flow hedges is assessed on a regular basis. Ineffective cash flow hedges are recorded in the income statement through profit or loss under interest income or interest expense. The gain or loss relating to the effective portion of the interest rate swaps hedging variable rate borrowings is recognized in profit or loss within finance result at the same time as the interest expense on the hedged borrowings.

 

Application of IAS 29 in financial reporting of Argentine subsidiaries and associates

 

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to be adjusted for the effects of changes in a suitable general price index and to be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. Accordingly, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in the non-monetary items.

 

Under the terms of IAS 29, the Group understands that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes as from July 1, 2018, and, accordingly, it has applied IAS 29 as from that date in the financial reporting of its subsidiaries and associates with the Argentine peso as functional currency.

 

The estimated price index as of September 30, 2024 was 7,124.36 (3,533.19 as of December 31, 2023) and the conversion factor derived from the indexes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, was 2.02 (2.03 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023).

 

Comparative amounts are the figures presented as current year amounts in the relevant prior year consolidated financial statements, according to IAS 21, considering that they were translated into the currency of a non- hyperinflationary economy.

 

The ongoing application of the re-translation of comparative amounts to closing exchange rates under IAS 21 and the inflation adjustments required by IAS 29 will lead to a difference because the rate at which the hyper-inflationary currency depreciates against a stable currency is rarely equal to the rate of inflation.

 

The inflation adjustment and the translation of comparative amounts in the current period is included in Other comprehensive income for the period line.

 

All items in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Income and of Comprehensive Income for the nine-month period are restated by applying the relevant conversion factors at the end of the reporting period, as stated in Note 2.W of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023. According to IAS 29, the three-month period results shown in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared considering the three-month period results of the subsidiaries in hyperinflationary economies in their functional currency translated into U.S dollars at the closing exchange rate, while prior reported quarterly Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Income and of Comprehensive Income in U.S. dollars remain unchanged.

New and amended standards

 

The following accounting standards and interpretations became applicable for annual period commencing on or after January 1, 2024:

 

- Non-current liabilities with covenants – Amendments to IAS 1.

- Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current – Amendments to IAS 1.

- Lease liability in sale and leaseback – amendments to IFRS 16.

- Supplier Finance Arrangements – Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7.

 

The amendments related to IAS 1 and IFRS 16 listed above adopted did not have any material impact on these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.

 

The new disclosures related to supplier finance arrangements are not required to be provided in the 2024 interim report.

 

New and amended standards not yet adopted by the Group

 

The following accounting standards and interpretations have been published but the application are not mandatory for reporting periods ending December 31, 2024 and have not been early adopted by the Group:

 

- Sale or contribution of assets between an investor and its associate or joint venture – Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28.

- Lack of exchangeability – Amendments to IAS 21

- Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements – IFRS 18

- Classification and measurement of financial instruments – Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7

 

The Group is currently assessing the impact these standards, amendments or interpretations will have in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

 

The Group is also evaluating the IFRIC agenda decision from July 2024 related to clarifications on IFRS 8 Operating segment information and its impact on segment disclosures. From a preliminary high-level analysis, the Group may expect to show an increased level of disclosures compared to what has been historically reported.

 

3Segment information

 

Operating segments are components of an enterprise where separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s chief operating decision maker is its Board of Directors. The Group’s operating segments are managed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit providing airport and non-airport services (“others”) to clients in different countries. The Group’s reportable operating segments are the six countries in which the Group currently operates, which are Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Ecuador and Italy.

 

Within each reportable segment, the Group develops and operates airport concessions (“Airports”) and provides other services not directly related to airport concessions.

 

Assets, liabilities and results of sub-holding and/or holding companies are not allocated and are reported within the “Unallocated” column. This column also includes head office and group services.

 

The elimination of any intersegment revenues and other significant intercompany operations are included in the “Intrasegment Adjustments” column.

 

The information regarding the Group’s reportable operating segments is consistent with the information presented in Notes 2.V and 4 included in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and should be read in conjunction with them.

3Segment information (Cont.)

 

The performance of each reportable segment is measured by its adjusted EBITDA, defined, with respect to each segment, as net income before financial income, financial loss, inflation adjustment, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Adjusted EBITDA does not exclude the amortization of the intangible asset related to the fixed fee payable to the corresponding governments for the operation of the airport concessions.

 

In addition, the CODM considers each reportable segment’s Adjusted EBITDA before Construction Services margin as a relevant performance measure.

 

Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Services is defined, with respect to each segment, as net income before construction services revenue, financial income, construction services cost, financial loss, inflation adjustment, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment. The Adjusted EBITDA excluding construction services revenue and construction services cost (which are based on the principles of IFRIC 12) does not exclude the amortization of the intangible asset related to the fixed fee payable to the corresponding governments for the operation of airport concessions.

(1)  Corresponds to government grants for the development of airport infrastructure in Group A, operated by Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 (“AA2000”), of the National Airport System in Argentina. There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies related to these grants.

 

(2) As stated in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, due to the impact generated by the pandemic, the Brazilian subsidiaries filed a claim for economic-financial re-equilibrium of its concession contracts. This was possible due to the Brazilian Government recognition that the Covid-19 pandemic is a case of "force majeure" or "fortuitous event" concluding that the loss from the impact of the pandemic is not part of the risks assumed by the private sector and must be compensated by the Federal Government. In view of this, Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (“ANAC”) defined as a condition for this re-equilibrium the compensation according to the companies’ projected operational result in the scenario without pandemic.

 

In December 2023 and 2022, the ANAC approved the extraordinary revision of the Concession Agreements of the Brasília and Natal Airport due to the damages caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in order to reconstitute its economic-financial balance considering a preliminary estimation as of year-end.

 

In September 2024, the final compensatory amount for the year 2023 for the Brasilia and Natal airport was determined, resulting, net of tax, in a decrease of USD 139 and an increase of USD 218, respectively compared to the amount that had initially been estimated and recognized as an Other operating income as of December 31, 2023.

 

In June and July 2023, the final compensatory amount for the year 2022 for the Brasilia and Natal airport was determined, resulting, net of tax, in an increase of USD 3,550 and USD 176, respectively compared to the amount that had initially been estimated and recognized as an Other operating income as of December 31, 2022.

For the three and nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, there has been an increase in the effective tax rate mainly due to the tax inflation adjustment in Argentina. Moreover, for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, deferred tax assets on tax loss carry forwards from Brazilian concessions for a total amount of USD 35.8 million were unrecognized because there was not sufficient evidence that there would be enough future taxable profits to use such tax losses.

Due to the increase of traffic witnessed during 2023 and 2024 across all countries, the Group has not identified impairment indicators except in the Brazilian segment due to the historical losses from its operations.

 

Therefore, the Group performed the impairment test of the Brazilian cash-generating unit (“CGU”) (including concession assets with a carrying value of USD 586.7 million as of September 30, 2024) based on the discounted cash flow model covering the remaining concession period (value in use), considering significant assumptions that required management judgment related to passenger growth rates and discount rate, combined with historical information.

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs of a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that are expected to benefit from such business combination.

 

As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, the recoverable amount of aforementioned CGU´s exceed their respective carrying amount.

-ACI Senior Secured Guarantee Notes (“ACI Existing Notes”) are guaranteed and have a security package that includes the pledge of the shares in Puerta del Sur S.A. (“PDS”) and Cerealsur S.A., and certain accounts of Cerealsur S.A. and ACI. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, they were secured by a debt service reserve account of ACI and the funds contained therein. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Cerealsur S.A. and PDS.

 

On May 26, 2020, ACI issued USD 180.9 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Cash/7.875% PIK Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes due 2032 to repurchase and exchange 93.6% of the total original principal amount of the ACI Existing Notes obtaining consents to certain proposed amendments to the indenture governing the ACI Existing Notes and certain waivers. The main covenants and guarantees remain unchanged except for the incorporation of ACI’s shares pledge.

 

On November 12, 2021, ACI issued USD 246.2 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes due 2034 (the “New Notes”) consolidating the repurchase and exchange of 40.62% of the total original principal amount of the Series 2015 Notes, 96.43% of the total original amount of the Series 2020 Notes and a new money offering of USD 52.9 million in a private transaction under the same terms as the New Notes. The main guarantees remain unchanged while the covenants over ACI Existing Notes were eliminated; an Interest payment account was funded with a portion of the proceeds of the issuance of the New Notes to cancel interest payments until November 29, 2023, and a stand by letter was issued by Goldman Sachs Bank for USD 8.5 million which remains in force as of September 30, 2024.

 

-The Italian Notes are secured by an economic first ranking pledge in respect of all the shares representing 100% of the share capital of CAI, 100% of the share capital of Dicasa Spain S.A.U. and the shares representing CAI’s holding in TA.

 

The main covenants are limitations to take on additional indebtedness, make payments of dividends and other payments that are specifically restricted, selling assets as well as requiring compliance with certain financial ratios, which are measured semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The last testing date was June 30, 2024, being in compliance with the covenants.

 

-The Senior guarantee notes of AA2000 (“AA2000 Existing Notes”) are secured by a collateral assignment of fiduciary rights of certain revenue of AA2000.

 

The main covenants require compliance with certain financial ratios as well as restriction to incur additional debt and limitations on the payments of dividends if any default, whether declared or not, has occurred.

 

On May 20, 2020, AA2000 issued USD 306 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Cash/9.375% PIK Class I Series 2020 Additional Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Series 2020 Additional Notes”) in exchange of 86.73% of the total original principal amount of AA2000 Existing Notes. The collateral assignment of revenue under AA2000 Existing Notes was extended to the Series 2020 Additional Notes in equal terms. Accrued interest are capitalized quarterly. The main covenants and guarantees remain unchanged.

 

On October 28, 2021, AA2000 issued USD 208.9 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Class I Series 2021 Additional Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the “Series 2021 Notes”) to repurchase and exchange 24.61% of the total original principal amount of the Series 2017 Notes and 66.83% of the original principal amount of Series 2020 Additional Notes. The main covenants and guarantees remain unchanged. As of September 30, 2024, AA2000 is in compliance with the covenants.

 

The Series 2021 Notes and the Existing Notes not exchanged are secured by the collateral currently securing the Existing Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis. In addition, to secure its obligations under the Series 2021 Notes, AA2000, together with the relevant parties thereto, amended the cargo trust agreement dated August 9, 2019, entered into by AA2000 and the trustee (as amended, the “Cargo Trust”) in order to include holders of Series 2021 Notes as beneficiaries therein, granting them a security interest which is subordinated to (i) the rights of creditors under certain existing loans of AA2000, and (ii) any debt permitted to be incurred to finance or refinance any capital expenditures made or to be made pursuant to the concession agreement entered into by AA2000 with the Argentine National Government (as amended form time to time, the “Concession Agreement”) for the operation of the airports in Argentina.

Once the Existing Notes not exchanged in the Exchange Offer mature or are cancelled in full, AA2000 is required to amend and restate the Cargo Trust and the current trust related to the tariffs dated January 19, 2017, entered into by AA2000 and the trustee thereto (the “Tariffs Trust”), so that the Series 2021 Notes become secured under the Cargo Trust on a pro rata and pari passu basis with the existing beneficiaries of the Cargo Trust, and these beneficiaries in turn become secured under the Tariffs Trust on a pro rata and pari passu basis with the Series 2021 Notes. In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the collateral assignment of revenue must be authorized by the Regulatory Agency of the National Airport System in Argentina (“ORSNA”). ORSNA approved, on October 15 2021, the amendment of the Tariffs Trust and of the Cargo Trust to include the Series 2021 Notes as beneficiaries thereto (including their future amendment and restatement, once the Existing Notes are cancelled in full). Furthermore, AA2000 received the approval from the Central Bank of Argentina to establish a non-interest bearing U.S. dollar trust account in the United States to secure the Series 2021.

 

On November 4, 2021 AA2000 additionally issued USD 62 million aggregate principal amount of Class 4 Senior Secured Notes. These Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the Cargo Trust on a pari passu basis with certain commercial bank lenders to AA2000 and a second priority lien with new debt incurred by AA2000 to fund infrastructure works for a total amount of up to USD 235 million.

 

During 2024, AA2000 repurchased dollar-linked Class 6, Class 9 and Class 10 Notes for nominal value of USD 7.3 million, USD 7.1 million and USD 4.7 million, respectively.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 50% of the fixed concession fee to be paid in 2021 by ICAB was pending as a re-scheduling of such fee was requested. Even though the Brazilian Ministry of Infrastructure had granted its approval, the Brazilian ANAC denied ICAB’s request, and initiated administrative proceedings with a view to declaring ICAB in default of its payment obligations. Therefore, ICAB initiated a judicial procedure and, on February 2, 2022, a writ of mandamus was granted by a Federal judge suspending any act or enforceability in connection with the unpaid portion of the concession fee due to the Brazilian ANAC. The Brazilian ANAC appealed, but in April 2022, the court of justice provisionally maintained the first instance judgment favorable to ICAB. In November 2023, the case was decided and the first instance ruling in favor of ICAB was confirmed, granting ICAB the right to reschedule 50% of 2021’ fixed concession fee. The Brazilian ANAC appealed the ruling and the court of justice has not issued its decision as of September 30, 2024.

 

Regarding the 2022 concession fee a partial payment of R$ 81.6 million (equivalent to USD 15 million) was made through the application of re-equilibrium credits. To pay the remaining amount ICAB presented on November 21, 2022 to the Ministry of Infrastructure, an offer of court payment orders, which is still in process of analysis. In December 2022, the Ministry issued an official letter confirming that, during the time it takes to issue a final opinion, ICAB is in compliance with its obligations.

15            Contingencies, commitments and restrictions on the distribution of profits

 

a. Contingencies

 

CAAP and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer claims, in which third parties are seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses or indemnity. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, the potential liability with respect to such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. Management, with the assistance of legal counsel, periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure. If a potential loss from a claim, lawsuit or proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded. Accruals for loss contingencies reflect a reasonable estimate of the losses to be incurred based on information available to management as of the date of preparation of the financial statements, and take into consideration the Group’s litigation and settlement strategies.

 

The Group believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for losses in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, are adequate based upon currently available information.

 

Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. (“TA”) legal proceedings

 

On May 1, 2024, the Civil Court of Milan published its ruling regarding the claim initiated by Nuove Iniziative Toscane (“NIT”) on September 10, 2021. See Note 26.a of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. NIT´s claim was rejected by the Court and NIT was condemned to return to TA the sums that had been paid as deposit, plus interest, as well as to pay the legal costs.

 

On May 31, 2024, TA received the reimbursement from NIT of the sums that had paid as deposit plus interests which amounts to EUR 4.7 million in total. However, NIT can still appeal the ruling.

 

Peruvian proceedings - Kuntur Wasi

 

As stated in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, on August 10, 2023, Kuntur Wasi received notification of the favorable arbitral award from the ICSID/CIADI Arbitral Court following the arbitration procedure Kuntur Wasi had initiated after the arbitrary unilateral termination of the Concession Agreement by the Peruvian Ministry of Transports and Communications. While the Arbitral Court had already determined the final award for damages and losses, on February 28, 2024 both parties submitted further information to calculate the business profit based on the invested amounts as well as interests thereon.

 

On May 9, 2024, ICSID/CIADI confirmed that “Peru breached the concession contract by terminating it without a well-founded reason of public interest" and ordered that “damages in the amount of USD 91.2 million (including interest to February 28, 2024) should be paid to Kuntur Wasi, together with any additional interest that has accrued at the rate established in this award to the date of payment; compounded annually”. As of the date of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements the Company is evaluating the chances of recoverability of the final award and pending this review, no amount has been recognized in these financial statements.

 

ACI Do Brasil S.A. (“ACIB”) tax proceedings

 

As stated in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, in 2017 a lawsuit was initiated before the Municipality of Sao Goncalo do Amarante to dispute the legality of the Property and Urban Territorial Tax (“IPTU”) collected by the City of São Gonçalo do Amarante. In 2023, the Supreme Court decided to keep IPTU immunity as a rule, but to allow the Municipality to collect this tax only over the areas occupied by third parties who exploit activities unrelated to the airport public service.

 

In a decision given on April 3, 2024 the Municipality: (i) revoked the IPTU tax collection for the years 2012 to 2014 and (ii) maintained the IPTU over the entire Airport through the years 2015 to 2023.

 

ACIB filed another administrative appeal, based on the aforementioned Supreme Court decision, which was denied. The Municipality would have to claim the payment at Court proceeding in which case ACIB is prepared to dispute it.

ICAB tax proceedings

 

As stated in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, in September 2014, ICAB initiated a lawsuit that disputes the legality of the IPTU collected by the Federal District. ICAB argued that such tax cannot be collected by a local government over an airport that belongs to the Federal Government. Many airports in Brazil are facing the same issue. In October 2014, the judge granted a provisional decision by suspending the tax collection, and in April 2015, a further ruling found the collection as unfounded.

 

On June 2022, the Brazilian Supreme Court confirmed this ruling, excluding ICAB´s responsibility for the payment of IPTU and restricting this tax to the areas occupied by third parties who exploit activities unrelated to the airport.

 

Despite the Supreme Court’s decision, the Federal District continues to make legal demands mistakenly charging IPTU against Inframerica. There are currently five processes regarding IPTU claims, amounting of USD 3.3 million approximately.

 

TAGSA tax proceedings

 

As stated in Note 26.a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, the SRI determined that TAGSA must pay the amount of approximately USD 3.3 million for the 2017 income tax. TAGSA submitted the request for nullity, which SRI rejected. After exhausting administrative remedies, TAGSA filed a judicial claim for USD 4.5 million. On July 13th and September 6th, two hearings took place, and on October 18 a ruling was issued in favour of TAGSA. On December 12, 2022, SRI submitted a cassation against this ruling, which was accepted by the National Court on July 6, 2023. On July 2, 2024 the Court issued a final ruling confirming the previous decision in favour of TAGSA. On July 31, 2024, SRI raised an Extraordinary Protection Action against the ruling issued by the National Court of Justice. On October 21, 2024, the Admission Chamber of the Constitutional Court of Ecuador rejected the Extraordinary Protection Action, leading to the case being archived and returned to the original court.

 

Additionally TAGSA is taking further actions to obtain cancellation of the guarantee associated with this claim.

 

Aeropuertos del Neuquén S.A. (“ANSA”) civil proceedings

 

As stated in Note 26.a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, ANSA had received a claim from a supplier of USD 0.5 million regarding a breach of contract. On September 11, 2024, the trial court partially granted the claim and ordered ANSA to pay AR$ 3.4 million (equivalent to USD 3) plus interest, with judicial costs to be shared equally between the parties. Both parties have appealed the decision.

 

There are no other lawsuits or legal proceedings different from the ones included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Following advice taken from local counsel, no provisions have been recognized at September 30, 2024 in relation to the above proceedings, except those specifically mentioned.

AA2000 challenged Resolution N° 56-23. On November 27, 2023 ORSNA and AA2000, agreed: (i) to suspend the current procedural deadlines until September 30, 2024, (ii) that AA2000 must produce at its own cost and expense a passenger traffic projection study; (iii) to postpone until May 30, 2024 the ordinary annual review of the PFIE of the concession, covering periods until December 31, 2023. AA2000 has fulfilled the commitments assumed under the referred agreement.

 

Considering the changes in the Argentinean government and taking into account that the members of ORSNA's Board of Directors had not been appointed, it was agreed to suspend for 20 business days the procedural deadlines duly established, according to a presentation made both parties on June 28, 2024. On July 3, 2024, AA2000 was notified of the Court's decision granting the suspension of the requested deadlines.

 

In light of the change in ORSNA´s administration, and in order to fulfill the agreements previously reached, on August 9, 2024, ORSNA and AA2000 signed a new Meeting Record which postponed the annual ordinary review of the PFIE for the concession until October 30, 2024, covering all periods up to December 31, 2023. Additionally, they agreed to extend the deadline for the regulatory body to adopt final measures within its authority to restore the financial and economic balance of the concession until November 30, 2024, and to suspend the procedural deadlines in the aforementioned legal proceedings until December 31, 2024.

18            Fair value measurement of financial instruments

 

According to the classification included in Note 3.B of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, the Group categorizes its financial instruments as assets and liabilities at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss.

 

For the majority of instruments recorded at amortized cost, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature. Significant differences were identified for the following instruments at September 30, 2024:

 

   Fair value   Carrying amount 
Trust funds (1)   39,402    36,794 
Long-term borrowings (2)   1,017,995    1,044,862 

 

(1) It is included in the Other receivables line of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position. The fair value of these financial assets was calculated using a discounted cash flow (Level 3).

 

(2) Valuation at quotation prices not adjusted in active markets for identical liabilities included Fair Value Level 2 under IFRS 13 hierarchy. There are no financial liabilities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income nor through profit or loss except for the fair value derivative disclosed in note 19, which is also valuated through calculations under Level 2 hierarchy.

 

Other financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are included in Level 1 as defined in IFRS 13 and comprise primarily government securities, mutual funds and corporate bonds.

19            Financial risk factors

 

a)Argentina economical context

 

As stated in Note 3A of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, CAAP’s Argentine subsidiaries are operating in an economic context in which main variables have a strong volatility as a consequence of political and economic uncertainties. The estimated inflation rate for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was 101.6%, the devaluation of Argentinean pesos against the US Dollars in the same period was 20.0 %, and certain restrictions to access the Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios (“MULC”) are still in force.

 

Law 27,742 which declares a public emergency in administrative, economic, financial and energy matters for one year was approved on June 28, 2024 and enacted on July 8, 2024 by Decree 592/2024. The law grants the Argentinean Executive Branch special powers to manage the emergency in terms of Article 76 of the National Constitution of Argentina. Reforms foreseen in the law contemplate, among others, a state reform, an incentive regime for large investments, changes in labor legislation, a policy on open skies and tax benefits. The Argentine subsidiaries are evaluating the potential impact of this law and of the evolving political situation in Argentina on their business and performance.

 

b)Interest rate risk

 

The Group’s interest rate risk principally arises from long-term borrowings (Note 12). Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to the risk that the actual cash flows differ from those expected. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to the risk that the fair values of these differ from those expected. The Group manages this risk by maintaining an appropriate mix between fixed and floating rate interest bearing liabilities.

 

These activities are evaluated regularly to determine that the Group is not exposed to interest rate movements that could adversely impact its ability to meet its financial obligations and to comply with its borrowing covenants.

 

The following table shows a breakdown of the Group’s fixed-rate and floating-rate borrowings:

 

  

At September 30,

2024

  

At December 31,

2023

 
Fixed rate (*)   922,283    990,251 
Variable rate   305,684    342,986 
    1,227,967    1,333,237 

 

(*) As of September 30, 2024 includes USD 153.5 million of short-term borrowings (USD 122.5 million as of December 2023) and USD 768.8 million of long-term borrowings (USD 864.8 million as of December 31, 2023).

 

Regarding the loan facility lines of the new financial agreement signed by TA, the Company aims to mitigate the exposure to the interest rate fluctuations (Euribor) affecting cash flows. To achieve this, in July 2024, TA entered into interest rate swaps agreements with each Lender, establishing a fixed interest rate of 3.02% over the principal amount already drawn, effective until June 30, 2030. The notional amount being hedged corresponds to 100% of the principal for the semi-annual interest payments until June 30, 2027, while for the interest payments from December 31, 2027 to June 30, 2030 it covers a 75% of the principal.

 

As of September 30, 2024, the fair value of the derivatives stands at EUR 2.4 million (equivalent to USD 2.7 million), which, net of deferred tax, impacts Other Comprehensive Income by EUR 1.8 million (equivalent to USD 2.0 million).
