1General information and significant event of the period

 

1.1 General information

 

Corporación América Airports S.A. (the “Company” or “CAAP”) is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in the acquisition, development and operation of airport concessions. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Group”.

 

The Company’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CAAP”.

 

The Company was formed as a private limited liability company under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on December 14, 2012. The Company is ultimately controlled by Southern Cone Foundation (“SCF”), a foundation organized under the laws of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The address of its registered office is in Vaduz.

 

The Company´s registered office address is 128, Boulevard de la Pétrusse, Luxembourg.

 

The Group currently has operations in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Italy and Ecuador.

 

A list of the principal Group’s subsidiaries is included in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022.

 

The fiscal year begins on January 1 and ends on December 31.

 

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 15, 2023.

 

1.2 Significant events of the period

 

1.2.1Conflict between Russia and Ukraine

 

Russia´s war against neighboring Ukraine continues to disrupt international travel from and to Russia and Ukraine and other destinations as the flights to Russia have been banned by Western countries and by the European Union, Russia has closed its skies for carriers registered in Western countries and carriers avoid overflying the war zone. It is likely that this war will continue to disrupt supply chains, cause instability in the global economy and disrupt international travel to/from airports operated by the Company, in particular those located in Europe.

 

In addition, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, sanctions have been implemented against Russia, including, among others, travel bans and asset freezes impacting businesses, financial organizations and individuals of Russian origin some of which have been tightened as the war intensified. Wider sanctions and other actions could be imposed if the conflict further escalates.

 

During 2022 and the first nine months of 2023, there has been an increase in traffic in Armenia above internal projections and the traffic in Italy has not been affected by the conflict. Moreover, there has been an increase in the costs of raw materials and expenses for utilities, being caused mainly by the conflict. Considering the uncertainty of the extension of the war and the additional measures and sanctions that could be imposed, the full extent by which the war will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity is unknown. The Company is closely monitoring the situation.

 

1.2.2AA2000 – New Departure Terminal at Ezeiza Airport

 

On April 14, 2023, AA2000 inaugurated the new departure terminal at Ezeiza Airport, Argentina, with capacity to serve up to 30 million passengers per year, becoming the most modern airport terminal in Latin America.

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, 2022.

 

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

 

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, 2022.

 

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, 2023 was 2,304.92 (1,134.59 as of December 31, 2022) and the conversion factor derived from the indexes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, was 2.03 (1.67 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022).

 

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/(loss) for the period line.

2Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Cont.)

 

Basis of presentation (Cont.)

 

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, 2022. 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.

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, 2022 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 AA2000) of the National Airport System in Argentina. There are no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies attaching to these grants.

 

(2)As stated in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022, 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 2022 and 2021, 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 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.

 

In June and September 2022, the final compensatory amount for the year 2021 for the Natal and Brasilia airport was determined, resulting, net of tax, in a reversal of USD 209 and an increase of USD 1,153 respectively compared to the amount that had initially been estimated and recognized as an Other operating income as of December 31, 2021.

 

In June 2022, the final amount referring to the compensation granted to Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. was determined, resulting in a reversal of approximately Eur 339 thousand (equivalent to USD 362).

On May 20, 2020, AA2000 issued USD 306 million aggregate principal amount of 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 main covenants and guarantees remain unchanged. As of September 30, 2023, 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.

As of June 30, 2023, ICAB did not meet one of the obligations set forth in the financing agreement with BNDES, regarding the payment of the variable concession fee and consequently, this resulted in the reclassification of non-current installments for a total amount of USD 206 million to current, due to the requirements of said agreement.

 

On August 15, 2023, a formal letter with ANAC, informing that payment of the variable concession fee was made through the application of Covid-19 re-equilibrium credits, which ICAB has registered as a right according to Note 7. With the compensation of the debt with the existing credits, ICAB complies with its obligations under BNDES agreement and, therefore, as of September 30, 2023 the balance is reclassified as long-term liability.

Additionally, under the Framework Agreement, AA2000 signed bilateral contracts with each of the financial institutions and signed an amendment to the aforementioned agreement where the obligation to comply with certain ratios foreseen in the 2019 Credit Facilities has been waived.

On November 18, 2021, AA2000 agreed with the Lenders the granting of a bimonetary loan in order to prepay the loans from the Framework Agreement. The loans are secured by the Argentine Collateral Trust Agreement. Disbursements were made in November and December 2021, both in USD (Onshore renegotiation – ICBC) and in ARS (Offshore renegotiation) for USD 10 million and ARS 3,944 million (equivalent to USD 22.3 million) respectively. During 2022 disbursements under the bimonetary loan were granted and used to offset the installments of the Framework Agreement for ARS 3,682.0 million (equivalent to USD 20.8 million) and for USD 7.8 million. Additionally, prepayments of the bimonetary loans in ARS were made during 2022 for ARS 6,085.0 million (equivalent to USD 34.3 million).

 

In March 2023, AA2000 obtained a bank overdraft from Citibank N.A. and prepaid the bimonetary loan in ARS, for ARS 1,350.5 million (equivalent to USD 6.5 million).

(1) The most significant amounts included in the concession fee payable relate to the concession agreement between The Brazilian National Civil Aviation Agency – ANAC and Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia S.A. and Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A.

(*) Mainly includes changes in the liabilities of Brazilian concessions due to passage of time and inflation adjustment shown in Note 8.

 

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, a 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, 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 ANAC. ANAC appealed, but in April 2022, the court of justice provisionally maintained the first instance judgment favorable to ICAB. Although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the proceedings, ICAB believes that based on the opinion of the ICAB’s external legal advisors, it is not likely that the writ of mandamus is rescinded by the justice.

 

Regarding the 2022 fixed concession fee a partial payment of R$ 81.6 million (equivalent to USD 15 million) was made through the application of re-equilibrium credits in 2022. To pay the remaining amount ICAB presented on November 21, 2022 to the Ministry of Infrastructure, an offer of precatorios, 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.

 

Brazil legal proceedings - Tax proceedings

 

As stated in Note 26.a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, on November 1, 2017, ICASGA initiated a lawsuit before the Municipality of São Gonçalo do Amarante to dispute the legality of the Property and Urban Territorial Tax (“IPTU”) collected by the City of São Gonçalo do Amarante.

 

On November 17, 2020, the State Court made its final decision dismissing the collection of IPTU which was appealed by the Municipality before the Brazilian Supreme Court. On August 1, 2023, a first decision was granted, in favor of the City. The Minister decided to revoke the State Court´s last decision and ruled that the State Court had to analyze the lawsuit again. ICASGA submitted an appeal before the Supreme Court, asking this monocratic decision adopted in August to be reviewed by the other Ministers which was granted on September 29, 2023. The Supreme Court partially changed its decision, and 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. This decision can still be appealed by the Municipality.

 

Peruvian Proceedings - Kuntur Wasi

 

On July 13, 2017, the Government of Peru notified the unilateral decision to rescind the concession agreement for the Nuevo Aeropuerto International de Chinchero.

 

On June 21, 2018, an arbitration procedure request was submitted by Kuntur Wasi to the competent authority ICSID (known as CIADI in Spanish). On the same date, Corporación América S.A. also submitted to CIADI a request for the arbitration procedure under the BIT framework. Both procedures before CIADI shall be carried out in a single docket.

 

On August 10, 2023, Kuntur Wasi received notification from the CIADI Arbitral Court regarding a favorable resolution concerning the arbitration procedure due to unreasonably and arbitrary unilateral termination of the Concession Agreement by the Peruvian Ministry of Transports and Communications. While the Arbitral Court has already determined the final award for damages and losses, there are still pending steps subject to submission of further information by Kuntur Wasi, required to calculate the business profit based on the invested amounts as well as the recognition of interests on the related amounts.

 

There are no other lawsuits or legal proceedings different from the ones included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

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, 2022, 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, 2023:

 

   Fair value   Carrying amount 
Trust funds (1)   40,895    40,252 
Long-term borrowings (2)   1,193,298    1,269,806 

 

(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.

 

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.

The information regarding the operation and the impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements is detailed in Note 30 of the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.

20            Financial risk factors

 

As stated in Note 3A of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2022, 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, both in national and international environments.

 

On April 20, 2023, a new requirement of approval to be granted by the Central Bank of Argentina prior to the access to transactions in the Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios (“MULC”) within 60 days from the approval of the declaration in Sistema de Importaciones de la República Argentina y Pagos de Servicios del Exterior was incorporated. This requirement does not apply for: (i) payment through an exchange against a local account in foreign currency; (ii) simultaneous access with the settlement of a new financial indebtedness abroad for which the principal matures after the indicated term; and (iii) access with funds originated in a financing of imports of services granted by a local financial institution from a commercial credit line abroad and when the principal of the financing matures after the indicated term.

 

Regarding transactions in the stock market, the period for not entering into transactions with securities issued under foreign law is extended to 180 calendar days and the period for not entering into transactions with securities issued under Argentine law, to be submitted in the affidavits for access to the MULC, is maintained at 90 days.

 

On July 24, 2023, the Executive Branch of Argentina issued Decree 377/2023 establishing a tax named “Impuesto PAIS” over transactions that involves the purchase of foreign currencies for the payment of certain services and goods, specifically: i) services acquired abroad or in Argentina rendered by a non-resident, applying a tax rate of 25%; ii) freight and other transportation services for import or export of goods, applying a tax rate of 7.5%; and iii) import of goods, which applies a tax rate of 7.5%, except for the following situations: a) certain goods with specific tariff positions; b) consumables and intermediate goods directly related to the basic food basket as established by the Ministry of Economy; and c) goods related to power generation under the terms established by the Secretariat of Energy. The Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos empowered to set a down payment of a 95% under the terms and conditions established by said administration. Financial institutions should act as perception agents and perform the tax return. The Decree became effective for foreign currency purchases carried out as from July 24, 2023.

 

On August 13, 2023, there were primary elections in Argentina, after which the Argentine peso has experienced a strong value decrease.

 

Considering this situation and the uncertainties resulting from these events, CAAP`s Argentine subsidiaries continue to assess the evolution of the above-mentioned variables in order to identify the unforeseen potential impacts that could affect the Company´s business and performance.

 

21            Subsequent events

 

There are no subsequent events that could significantly affect the Group´s financial position as of September 30, 2023.
