CEO Message

 

Commenting on the results for the quarter Mr. Martín Eurnekian, CEO of Corporación América Airports, noted: “The strong momentum experienced throughout the year continued into the fourth quarter, with passenger traffic growing 13% year-on-year and revenue growth ex-IAS29 surpassing the increase in traffic. This resulted in a solid expansion in revenues per PAX, which was 5% higher than 4Q22 and 39% above pre-pandemic levels. Total costs and expenses grew in line with higher activity but below revenue growth, leading to Adjusted EBITDA growth of 29% YoY and 71% when compared to 4Q19. These financial highlights include two important impacts:

 

First, due to the sharp devaluation of the Argentine peso last December, as reported figures included non-cash accounting impacts from applying hyperinflation accounting, in accordance with IFRS Rule IAS29, causing a $28.9 million Adjusted EBITDA reduction in our Argentina segment, which is not indicative of the underlying performance of our business. Importantly, as the majority of Argentine revenues are linked to the USD and approximately half of the costs are in ARS, we have a natural hedge against currency devaluation.

 

Second, a key milestone this quarter was the successful conclusion of the friendly termination process of the Natal airport concession agreement, which benefited Adjusted EBITDA by $166.5 million. The net indemnification amount to CAAP was R$465 million.

 

This good performance was underscored by strong momentum across all geographies and reflects our commitment to efficient execution and our ability to leverage the ongoing recovery in travel demand.

 

Looking ahead, we remain focused on the approval processes in Italy and Armenia in connection with significant expansion projects in our airports in Firenze and Yerevan, respectively, which will foster growth and create value for our stakeholders.

In Firenze, we are working on the approval of a new master plan that will include a new runaway with much longer reach and a larger new terminal. The total investment is estimated at Euro 400 million, of which Euro 150 million will be funded with government grants.

In Yerevan, we remain in negotiations with the government to expand our Zvartnots Airport and enhance commercial offerings. The total investment plan is expected to be approximately $400 million.

 

Keeping our focus on selectively expanding our airport network, we remain in negotiations with the government of Nigeria regarding the Abuja and Kano concession agreements while seeking additional expansion opportunities.

 

Regarding market dynamics, we maintain a cautiously optimistic outlook on passenger traffic across our airport network.

 

In sum, we are excited by the strength of our business and prospects ahead, underpinned by a robust balance sheet that positions us well for continued success as we navigate the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.”

4Q23 Operating Performance

 

Passenger Traffic

Total passenger traffic increased by 13.1% YoY to 20.7 million, reaching 99.1% of pre-pandemic levels, up from 97.9% in the previous quarter. Traffic performance was supported by a continued recovery in travel demand, reflected by higher load factors and the gradual return of flight routes and frequencies across all countries of operation. Notably, passenger traffic in Argentina and Uruguay exceeded pre-pandemic levels for the first time, while Armenia and Ecuador continued to surpass 2019 levels by 59.9% and 4.7%, respectively. Italy and Brazil stood at 99.3% and 84.7% of pre-pandemic levels, respectively. International traffic increased by 18.4% YoY, surpassing pre-pandemic levels by 7.0%, while domestic traffic increased by 14.5% YoY, reaching 97.5% of 4Q19 levels. Traffic in October, November and December was at 101.2%, 100.0% and 96.2% of traffic levels for the same months in 2019, respectively.

 

Passenger Traffic in Argentina increased 18.7% YoY, exceeding for the first time pre-pandemic levels of 2019 by 9.5%, a sequential improvement from the prior quarter. International passenger traffic, which continued benefiting from the ongoing gradual resumption of routes and frequencies, increased 20.0% YoY in 4Q23 to 98.5% of 4Q19 traffic levels, up from 88.6% in the previous quarter. Domestic passenger traffic, which accounted for more than 70% of total traffic and benefited from a government program to boost domestic tourism in October, increased 18.1% YoY and exceeded 4Q19 levels by 15.4%, up from 4.1% in the previous quarter.

 

In Italy, passenger traffic increased 16.0% YoY and reached 99.3% of 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels. International traffic increased 19.8% YoY and surpassed 4Q19 levels by 3.2%, while domestic traffic grew 4.3% YoY to 87.3% of 4Q19 levels. Traffic at Florence airport was 6.5% above 4Q19, while some pre-pandemic destinations still need to resume at Pisa airport. A strike carried out by unionized airport workers on November 24th, negatively impacted traffic in the quarter.

 

In Brazil, passenger traffic in the quarter remained impacted by financial and aircraft constraints in some of the local airlines, combined with increasing ticket prices affecting travel demand. Total traffic declined 0.3% YoY, reaching 84.7% of 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels, down from 93.7% in the prior quarter. Domestic passenger traffic, which accounted for almost two-thirds of total passenger traffic, was up 8.9% YoY and stood at 86.4% of 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels, but below 98.1% in the previous quarter. Transit passengers declined 15.6% YoY to 81.1% of 4Q19 levels.

 

Uruguay, where activity is mainly international, continued to post a recovery in passenger traffic and surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the first time, boosted by new routes and frequencies during the quarter. Total traffic increased by 23.5% YoY, exceeding 4Q19 levels by 2.8%.

 

In Armenia, passenger traffic improved 16.5% YoY and exceeded pre-pandemic levels of 4Q19 by 59.9%, down from 62.0% in the prior quarter. The introduction of new airlines, together with a higher number of flight frequencies continue to support traffic performance at the airport, which is currently operating at maximum capacity given the significant growth in passenger traffic within the past few years.

 

In Ecuador, total passenger traffic grew 4.9% YoY, exceeding pre-pandemic levels of 4Q19 by 4.7%, down from 11.9% in the previous quarter. Both domestic and international passenger traffic continued to increase sequentially, reaching 105.0% and 104.1% of 4Q19 levels, respectively. While total traffic in the quarter benefited from a higher number of frequencies at both international and domestic routes, domestic traffic was affected by the exit of the Ecuadorian carrier Equair.

 

Cargo Volume

Cargo volume increased 9.9% YoY in 4Q23, to 88.6% of 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels, with strong contributions from Argentina, Ecuador and Uruguay, which together accounted for almost 70% of total volume in the quarter. Notably, cargo volume in Armenia and Ecuador was above 4Q19 levels, while Uruguay, Italy, Argentina and Brazil were at 96.2%, 95.4%, 83.7% and 79.6% of pre-pandemic levels, respectively.

 

Aircraft Movements

Total aircraft movements increased by 4.5% YoY in 4Q23 and reached 98.6% of 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels. Over 80% of aircraft movements in the quarter came from Argentina (55%), Brazil (19%), and Ecuador (9%), with all geographies surpassing pre-pandemic levels of 4Q19 except for Brazil and Ecuador, which stood at 91.8% and 87.8%, respectively.

3)Cargo volumes in Uruguay were rectified from January to June 2020, to reflect all cargo passing through the cargo terminal, instead of air cargo only.
4)CAAP owns 99.9% of ECOGAL, which operates and maintains the Galapagos Airport, but due to the terms of the concession agreement, ECOGAL’s results are accounted for by the equity method. However, 100% of ECOGAL’s passenger traffic and aircraft movements are included in this table.
5)CAAP owned 50.0% of AAP and accounts for its results by the equity method. However, 100% of AAP’s passenger traffic and aircraft movements are included in this table.

Review of Consolidated Results

Results for ECOGAL, which operates the Galapagos Airport in Ecuador, are accounted for under the equity method. In December 2021, CAAP signed an agreement to transfer its 50% ownership interest in Aeropuertos Andinos del Perú S.A. to Andino Investment Holding S.A. and, consequently, ceased operating the five airports under concession.

 

Revenues

Consolidated Revenues decreased 5.5% YoY to $365.0 million in 4Q23, or increased 18.9% YoY to $397.6 million, when excluding Construction Services and the impact of IAS 29, reflecting higher activity across all countries of operations, particularly in Argentina and Uruguay. When compared to 4Q19 and excluding IAS 29 and Construction Services, Revenues increased 37.3%, despite traffic at 99.1% of pre-pandemic volumes, with strong contributions from Argentina and Armenia. Growth was primarily driven by Commercial Revenues, which were 58.7% above 4Q19 levels, coupled with tariff increases supporting Aeronautical Revenue growth of 22.4%.

Excluding IAS 29, Aeronautical revenues increased 22.6% YoY to $209.1 million and 22.4% against 4Q19 levels, benefiting from tariff increases, even with passenger traffic at 99.1% of pre-pandemic volumes. Compared to the same quarter of 2019, aeronautical revenues declined 30.7%, or $6.8 million, in Italy, and 19.9%, or $3.0 million, in Brazil. By contrast, aeronautical revenues increased by 37.9% in Argentina excluding IAS29, and 25.4%, 14.2% and 63.3%, in Uruguay, Ecuador and Armenia, respectively, from pre-pandemic levels of 4Q19.

 

Non-Aeronautical Revenues accounted for 55.0% of total revenues and decreased 8.9% YoY to $201.0 million. When compared to 4Q19 and excluding the impact of IAS 29, non-aeronautical revenues improved 20.3%, or $41.4 million, to $245.5 million, reflecting an increase of 58.7%, or $69.2 million, in Commercial Revenues, principally driven by higher Cargo and Duty Free revenues in Argentina coupled with higher Fueling services in Armenia. This was partially offset by a decline of 33.1%, or $28.2 million, in Construction Service Revenue, mainly as a result of lower CAPEX in Argentina.

 

Compared to 4Q19 and excluding both, Construction Service Revenue and the impact of IAS 29, non-aeronautical revenues increased 58.6%, or $69.6 million, to $188.4 million.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

In 4Q23, Total Costs and Expenses, excluding Construction Service Costs, decreased 43.8% YoY to $148.6 million, or 27.2% to $184.9 when excluding IAS 29. Lower costs benefited from a $103.8 million reversal of impairment charges of previous years, in connection with the termination of the Natal airport concession agreement (recorded under ‘Other Expenses’), partially offset by increases in Concession fees, Maintenance expenses, and Salaries and Social Security Contributions, in line with higher activity. Compared to 4Q19, Total Costs and Expenses, excluding Construction Service Costs, IAS 29 and the positive impact from Natal, increased by 27.8% to $288.7 million. This was primarily due to higher Salaries and Social Security Contributions resulting from inflation increases that surpassed currency depreciation in Argentina, higher Cost of fuel in Armenia, tied to increased fuel sales, as well as higher Concession Fees.

 

Cost of Services decreased 10.2% YoY to $249.7 million, or increased 7.6% to $290.7 million when excluding the impact of rule IAS29, reflecting higher traffic and cargo activity. When compared to 4Q19 and excluding IAS29, Cost of Services grew 5.9%, or $16.3 million, mainly as a result of the following increases:

 

§  40.6%, or $19.8 million, in Salaries and social security contributions mainly in Argentina,

 

§  141.1%, or $16.3 million, in Cost of fuel mainly in Armenia, and

 

§  33.5%, or $13.3 million, in Concession fees.

 

This was partially offset by a decrease in Construction service costs, combined with lower Amortization and depreciation charges and lower Taxes.

 

Excluding Construction Service Costs, Cost of Services decreased 3.8% YoY to $211.0 million, or increased 14.6% to $238.2 million, excluding IAS 29. When compared to 4Q19 and excluding the impact of IAS29, Cost of Services increased 25.5%, or $48.4 million, to $238.2 million, mainly reflecting the aforementioned increases in Salaries, Cost of Fuel, and Concession fees.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”) decreased 13.1% YoY, to $37.5 million in 4Q23, or increased 4.5% to $45.8 million when excluding the impact of rule IAS 29. Compared to 4Q19 and excluding IAS29, SG&A increased 30.8%, or $10.8 million, mainly as a result of higher Taxes and Salaries and social security contributions.

 

Other Expenses totaled $(99.9) million in 4Q23, compared to $2.2 million in 4Q22 and $43.9 million in 4Q19. Other expenses in 4Q23 included a $103.8 million reversal of impairment charges of previous years in connection to the termination of the Natal airport concession agreement.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service

During 4Q23, CAAP reported Adjusted EBITDA of $303.4 million and Adjusted EBITDA ex-IFRIC12 of $298.8 million, up from an Adjusted EBITDA ex-IFRIC12 of $122.1 million in the year-ago period. Excluding the impact of IFRS rule IAS 29, Adjusted EBITDA ex-IFRIC12 increased 163.2% YoY to $327.7 million, and benefited from a $166.5 million contribution from the indemnification payment received in connection with the friendly termination of the Natal airport concession agreement, in Brazil. Excluding both, IAS 29 and the contribution from the Natal indemnification, Adjusted EBITDA Ex-IFRIC12 would have increased 29.4% YoY to $161.2 million, with all countries improving YoY, except Italy, which in 4Q22 recorded a $4.2 million one-time gain related to the sale of the handling company. Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Armenia accounted for 70% of the total YoY Adjusted EBITDA improvement. Adjusted EBITDA margin, ex-IFRIC12, expanded to 92.9% from 37.4% in 4Q22, or to 40.5% from 37.2%, when also excluding IAS 29 and the Natal indemnification contribution, reflecting margin expansion in Brazil, Uruguay and Armenia, partially offset by lower margins in Italy, Ecuador and Argentina.

Adjusted EBITDA was 458.5% higher than the $54.3 million reported in 4Q19, while Adjusted EBITDA margin ex-IFRIC12 expanded 74.7 percentage points versus the 18.2% pre-pandemic level. Excluding IAS 29, the $166.5 million contribution from Natal in 4Q23, and the $42.8 million impairment charge recorded in 4Q19, Adjusted EBITDA margin ex-IFRIC12 in 4Q23 would have increased 7.9 percentage points, from 32.6% in 4Q19 to 40.5% in 4Q23.

Financial Income and Loss

CAAP reported a Net financial loss of $220.5 million in 4Q23 compared to a loss of $62.0 million in 4Q22. Had IAS 29 not been applied, and compared to 4Q19, the Net financial loss would have increased $516.3 million, to $579.1 million, mainly driven by higher Foreign Exchange expenses in Argentina, due to the impact of the devaluation of the Argentine peso on the net liability monetary position.

Income Tax Expense

During 4Q23, the Company reported an income tax benefit of $66.3 million versus an expense of $20.3 million in 4Q22. Excluding the impact of IAS 29, CAAP reported an income tax benefit of $287.3 million in 4Q23, compared to a tax benefit of $36.2 million in the year-ago quarter and an expense of $13.3 million in 4Q19.

 

 

Net Income and Net Income Attributable to Owners of the Parent

During 4Q23, CAAP reported Net Income of $116.6 million compared to Net Income of $3.7 million in 4Q22. Higher operating income, which included the contribution from the indemnification payment related to the friendly termination of the Natal airport, combined with the aforementioned Income tax benefit were partially offset by higher net FX losses and inflation adjustment charges.

Passenger Traffic increased 18.7% YoY, exceeding for the first time pre-pandemic levels by 9.5%. This marks a sequential improvement from the prior quarter. International passenger traffic, which has been gradually recovering due to the ongoing and gradual resumption of routes and frequencies, increased 20.0% YoY in 4Q23 reaching 98.5% of 4Q19 traffic levels, up from 88.6% in the previous quarter. Domestic passenger traffic, which accounted for more than 70% of total traffic and benefited from a government program to boost domestic tourism in October, increased 18.1% YoY and exceeded 4Q19 levels by 15.4%, up from 4.1% in the previous quarter.

 

Revenues decreased 20.8% YoY to $169.7 million in 4Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis or increased 15.0% to $259.3 million when excluding the impact of rule IAS29, primarily due to a 28.5% increase in Aeronautical revenues as well as a 20.0% increase in Commercial revenues, reflecting higher year-over-year activity. Construction service revenue decreased 14.0% YoY reflecting lower Capex in the reported quarter. Compared to 4Q19 and excluding both Construction Services and the impact of IAS 29, revenues grew by 52.1%, or $76.5 million to $223.6 million, driven by increases of 75.0% in Commercial revenues and 37.9% in Aeronautical revenues.

 

·Aeronautical Revenues ex-IAS29 grew by 28.5% YoY and by 37.9% against 4Q19, reflecting the recovery in passenger traffic along with the increase in the international passenger fee introduced in March 2021 and higher domestic passenger fees introduced in March 2022 and March 2023.

 

·Commercial Revenues ex-IAS29 increased 25.6% YoY and 75.0% against 4Q19, mainly driven by an increase of 43.8%, or $13.0 million. in Cargo revenues primarily reflecting 10% tariff increases on import activities applied in January and October 2020, along with a further 5% tariff increase in April 2022. Duty Free revenues also supported commercial revenues growth, increasing 266.4%, or $15.1 million, against pre-pandemic levels.

 

Total Costs and Expenses decreased 23.5% YoY to $133.4 million in 4Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis. Excluding Construction Service and the impact of IAS 29, Total Cost and Expenses increased 25.4% YoY, mainly due to the recovery in passenger traffic during the period. When compared to 4Q19, Total Cost and Expenses excluding the impact of rule IAS 29 and Construction Services increased 35.0%, or $38.3 million, primarily due to higher Cost of Services along with higher SG&A expenses.

 

·Cost of Services ex-IAS29 and excluding Construction Service Costs increased 25.5% YoY and 33.7% compared to 4Q19, or $30.8 million, driven mainly by the following increases:

 

·94.3%, or $22.7 million, in Salaries and social security contributions, mainly as a result of inflation rates significantly above currency depreciation, and

 

·53.7%, or $11.7 million, in Concession Fees, due to higher revenues.

 

The above was partially offset by decreases of 61.4%, or $5.0 million, in Amortization and depreciation, and 9.9%, or $2.8 million, in Maintenance expenses.

 

·SG&A ex-IAS29 increased by 29.4% YoY. Compared to 4Q19, SG&A ex-IAS29 increased by 37.3% against 4Q19, or $6.5 million, to $23.8 million, mainly due to higher Taxes and Salaries and Social Security Contributions.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 15.1% YoY to $54.7 million in 4Q23 on an ‘As reported basis’. When excluding the impact of IAS 29, Adjusted Segment EBITDA grew by 25.0% YoY to $83.6 million, with Adjusted EBITDA margin EX-IFRIC12 of 37.4% in the quarter, compared to 38.0% in 4Q22. Compared to pre-pandemic levels of 4Q19, Adjusted EBITDA excluding IAS 29 increased 67.0%, or $33.6 million from $50.1 million, while Adjusted EBITDA margin EX-IFRIC12 expanded 3.4 percentage points from 34.0%.

 

During 4Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures ex-IAS29 of $38.4 million, compared to $49.4 million in 4Q22 and $69.4 million in 4Q19. These expenditures were primarily allocated to the improvement in access roads, apron and lighting system at Aeroparque Airport, the new terminal building and lighting system at Rio Hondo Airport, the runway and terminal building works at Ezeiza Airport, the new terminal building and lighting system at Santa Rosa Airport, as well as the new terminal building at San Juan airport.

Passenger Traffic in Italy increased 16.0% YoY and reached 99.3% of 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels. International traffic increased 19.8% YoY and surpassed 4Q19 levels by 3.2%, while domestic traffic grew 4.3% YoY to 87.3% of 4Q19 levels. Traffic at Florence airport was 6.5% above 4Q19, while some pre-pandemic destinations still need to resume at Pisa airport. A strike carried out by unionized airport workers on November 24th, negatively impacted traffic in the quarter.

 

Revenues increased 9.0% YoY to $35.4 million in 4Q23, driven by Commercial revenue growth reflecting increases in year-over-year passenger travel and in Construction Service revenues. Commercial revenues grew 14.3% YoY, mainly driven by passenger-related services such as F&B services, Parking facilities, and VIP lounges, following the strong year-over-year traffic recovery. When compared to 4Q19, revenues excluding Construction Services decreased 19.4%, mainly driven by lower Aeronautical revenues.

 

·Aeronautical Revenues declined 30.7% versus 4Q19, or $6.8 million, as a result of lower passenger traffic and also due to the disposal of the handling company ‘Toscana Aeroporti Handling’, in December 2022. This was partially offset by increases in passenger fees at Florence airport in November 2019 and February 2020, and at both Florence and Pisa airports in February 2021. In addition, passengers with reduced mobility fees (PRM) at Florence airport increased in March 2020 and at Pisa airport in February 2020, and again at both airports in February 2021.

 

·Commercial Revenues, decreased 3.2% versus 4Q19, or $0.3 million, mainly driven by lower Duty Free and Advertising revenues.

Total Costs and Expenses increased 3.9% YoY, or $1.2 million, in 4Q23 mainly driven by higher Cost of Services and Other Expenses, partially offset by lower SG&A expenses. Excluding Construction Services, Total Cost and Expenses declined 2.3% YoY to $26.7 million. Compared to the same quarter of 2019, Total Cost and Expenses decreased 6.8%, or 10.0% when excluding Construction Services.

 

·Cost of Services excluding Construction service decreased 11.0%, or $2.8 million, against 4Q19, primarily driven by lower Salaries and Social Security Contribution expenses.

 

·SG&A declined 23.0%, or $1.0 million, to $3.2 million against 4Q19.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA decreased 28.6% to $7.4 million in 4Q23 from $10.4 million in 4Q22, which included a benefit of $4.2 million related to the disposal of the handling company. Excluding this extraordinary item from 4Q22, Adjusted EBITDA would have increased 19.8% YoY. Compared to 4Q19, Adjusted EBITDA increased 1.6%, with Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 1.3 percentage points to 21.0%.

 

During 4Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $9.2 million, compared to $4.1 million in 4Q22 and $7.4 million in 4Q19.

1)Starting November 2019 the Company has reclassified its passenger traffic figures for Brasilia Airport between international, domestic and transit retroactively since June 2018 to return to the count methodology utilized until May 2018. Notwithstanding, total traffic figures remain unchanged.

 

Passenger Traffic in the quarter remained impacted by financial and aircraft constraints in some of the local airlines, combined with increasing ticket prices which affected travel demand. Total traffic declined 0.3% YoY, reaching 84.7% of 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels, down from 93.7% in the prior quarter. Domestic passenger traffic, which accounted for almost two-thirds of total passenger traffic, was up 8.9% YoY and stood at 86.4% of 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels, but below 98.1% in the previous quarter. Transit passengers declined 15.6% YoY to 81.1% of 4Q19 levels.

 

Revenues increased 21.0% YoY to $29.6 million in 4Q23 mainly due to higher Commercial revenues. Compared to 4Q19, revenues decreased 1.4%, or $0.4 million, as the strong performance in Commercial revenue was more than offset by a decline in Aeronautical revenues resulting from lower passenger traffic. Results were also impacted by the 20.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar since 4Q19.

 

·Aeronautical Revenues increased 14.4% YoY and declined 19.9% vs 4Q19, or $3.0 million, driven by lower passenger traffic, coupled with the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

 

·Commercial Revenues increased 24.8% YoY and 15.9% against 4Q19, or $2.4 million, despite lower passenger traffic and currency depreciation. The increase in commercial revenue was primarily driven by a continued solid performance of VIP lounges and, to a lesser extent, Parking facilities and F&B services.

 

Total Costs and Expenses in 4Q23 included a $103.8 million reversal expense related to the termination of the Natal airport concession agreement recorded within the ‘Other expenses’ cost line item.

 

·Cost of Services declined 8.8% vs. 4Q19, or $2.1 million, benefiting from cost reduction initiatives taken to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, coupled with the 20.4% average depreciation of the Brazilian Real since 4Q19. The drop was mainly driven by declines in:

 

·Sales taxes, reflecting the reduction in revenues in the quarter,

 

·Salaries and social contributions due to reductions in the workforce, salary reductions, and a furlough scheme in place since 2Q20, together with local currency depreciation, and

 

Page 18 of 48

 

 

·Maintenance expenses.

 

·SG&A totaled $3.2 million in 4Q23 versus $4.6 million in 4Q22 and $0.0 million in 4Q19, when the Company recorded a bad debt reserve reversal due to a favorable resolution on a dispute with a telecommunications client.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA totaled $189.8 million and benefited from the contribution of $166.5 million related to the friendly termination of the Natal airport concession agreement. Excluding such impact, Adjusted EBITDA increased 31.2% YoY with Adjusted EBITDA margin expounding 6.1 percentage points to 78.6%. Compared to 4Q19 and excluding also the impairment charge of $42.8 million recorded that year, Adjusted EBITDA grew by 133% versus pre-pandemic levels. Adjusted EBITDA in this quarter benefited from an economic compensation of R$127 million obtained from the government, mainly in connection with the economic re-equilibrium to offset the COVID-19 impact during 2022 (an additional portion) and 2023.

 

During 4Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $0.3 million, compared to $0.7 million in 4Q22 and $2.3 million in 4Q19.

Uruguay, where activity is mainly international, continued to post a recovery in passenger traffic and surpassed pre-pandemic levels for the first time, boosted by new routes and frequencies during the quarter. Total traffic increased by 23.5% YoY, exceeding 4Q19 levels by 2.8%.

 

Revenues increased 33.9% YoY to $42.7 million in 4Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis, or 31.7% to $31.5 million, when excluding Construction service revenue. Compared to 4Q19, and excluding IFRIC12, revenues grew 28.6%, or $7.0 million, to $31.5 million, driven by both higher Aeronautical and Commercial revenues.

 

·Aeronautical Revenues increased 40.3% YoY, or $4.6 million, to $16.1 million, in line with the increase in passenger traffic against 4Q22, and was 25.4% higher than 4Q19 pre-pandemic levels.

 

·Commercial Revenues increased 23.7% YoY and 32.2% vs. 4Q19, or $3.7 million, to $15.3 million, mainly driven by higher Cargo and Fuel revenues, combined with higher VIP Lounges and Parking facilities.

 

 

Total Costs and Expenses increased 23.7% YoY to $32.1 million. Excluding Construction Service, Total Cost and Expenses rose 16.2% YoY to $20.9 million, due to an increase in operating costs following higher traffic activity when compared to 4Q22. Against the same quarter in 2019, Total Cost and Expenses excluding IFRIC12 increased 37.6%, or $5.7 million, due to higher Cost of services and, to a lesser extent, higher SG&A expenses.

 

Page 20 of 48

 

 

·Cost of Services increased 73.7% compared to 4Q19, or $11.3 million. Excluding Construction Service cost, Cost of Services increased 31.9%, or $3.7 million, mainly due to higher Salaries and social security contributions, Maintenance expenses, and Concession Fees.

 

·SG&A decreased 13.0% YoY, to $5.4 million, and increased 61.3% against 4Q19, mainly as a result of higher Services and Fees.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 63.8% YoY to $11.7 million in 4Q23, and decreased 2.2%, or $0.3 million, when compared to 4Q19, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin Ex IFRIC12 contracting 12.1 percentage points to 37.3%.

 

During 4Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $14.0 million in Uruguay, compared to $9.9 million in 4Q22 and $1.2 million in 4Q19. The increase in capital expenditures reflects the works related to the airports that were incorporated through the extension of the Puerta del Sur concession agreement in November 2021.

In Armenia, passenger traffic improved 16.5% YoY and exceeded pre-pandemic levels of 4Q19 by 59.9%, down from 62.0% in the prior quarter. The introduction of new airlines, together with a higher number of flight frequencies continue to support traffic performance at the airport, which is currently operating at maximum capacity given the significant growth in passenger traffic within the past few years.

 

Revenues increased 5.6% YoY to $61.0 million in 4Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis, or 5.2% when excluding Construction service revenue. Compared to 4Q19, and excluding IFRIC12, revenues increased 91.1%, or $28.5 million, to $59.7 million, mainly driven by an increase in Commercial revenues and, to a lesser extent, Aeronautical revenues, following solid traffic recovery.

 

·Aeronautical Revenues increased 24.2% YoY, or $4.0 million, to $20.5 million, in line with the increase in passenger traffic.

 

·Commercial Revenues decreased 2.7% YoY and 109.7% vs. 4Q19, or $20.5 million, to $39.2 million, mainly driven by higher Fuel revenues (linked to Cost of Fuel) and increases in all passenger-related revenues such as Duty Free, VIP Lounge and Parking facilities.

 

 

Total Costs and Expenses decreased 2.3% YoY to $42.7 million, driven by reduced Cost of Services as the increase in operating costs following higher traffic activity when compared to 4Q22 was more than offset by lower Cost of Fuel. Against the same quarter in 2019, Total Cost and Expenses excluding IFRIC12 increased 82.9%, or $18.8 million, primarily due to higher Cost of services.

 

·Cost of Services increased 81.5% compared to 4Q19, or $17.4 million, mainly driven by higher Cost of fuel (linked to Fuel revenues) and, to a much lesser extent, higher Salaries and social security contributions.

·SG&A increased 5.7% YoY, to $3.7 million, and grew 7.7% against 4Q19.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 22.7% YoY to $23.3 million in 4Q23, and increased 86.9%, or $10.8 million, when compared to 4Q19, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin Ex IFRIC12 contracting 0.7 percentage points to 38.9%, despite the growth in the Fuel business, which typically carries a lower margin.

 

During 4Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $1.9 million in Armenia, compared to $2.2 million in 4Q22 and $2.5 million in 4Q19.

In Ecuador, total passenger traffic grew 4.9% YoY, exceeding pre-pandemic levels by 4.7%, down from 11.9% in the previous quarter. Both domestic and international passenger traffic continued to increase sequentially, reaching 105.0% and 104.1% of 4Q19 levels, respectively. While total traffic in the quarter benefited from a higher number of frequencies at both international and domestic routes, domestic traffic was affected by the exit of the domestic carrier Equair.

 

Revenues increased 5.2% YoY to $26.7 million in 4Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis. Compared to 4Q19, revenues decreased 10.3%, or $3.1 million, as higher Aeronautical and Commercial revenues were more than offset by lower Construction service revenue.

 

·Aeronautical Revenues increased 13.7% YoY, or $2.4 million, to $19.7 million, in line with the increase in passenger traffic against 4Q22.

 

·Commercial Revenues increased 5.4% YoY and 12.4% vs. 4Q19, or $0.8 million, to $7.1 million, driven by higher Duty Free and Walkway services, combined with increases in all passenger-related revenues such as VIP Lounges and F&B services.

 

 

 

Total Costs and Expenses increased 7.7% YoY to $20.6 million, due to an increase in operating costs following higher traffic activity in the period. Against the same quarter of 2019, however, Total Cost and Expenses decreased 15.5%, or $3.8 million, primarily due to lower Cost of services.

 

·Cost of Services EX-IFRIC increased 14.5% compared to 4Q19, or $2.1 million, mainly driven by higher Maintenance expenses, along with higher Amortization and depreciation, Services and fees, Concession fees and Salaries and social security contributions.

 

·SG&A increased 6.1% YoY, to $3.7 million, and increased 12.1% against 4Q19.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA remained flat YoY at $7.2 million in 4Q23, and increased 20.6%, or $1.2 million, when compared to 4Q19, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin Ex IFRIC12 expanding 1.6 percentage points to 26.8%.

 

During 4Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $0.2 million in Ecuador, compared to $0.5 million in 4Q22 and $7.6 million in 4Q19.

Key Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Events

 

Natal Concession Agreement

On January 5, 2024, the Company received a total gross indemnification payment of R$610.4 million in connection with the friendly termination of its concession agreement of the Natal airport, in Brazil. This process has been carried out strictly in compliance with the existing Brazilian legal and regulatory framework and fully coordinated with all Brazilian authorities. The aforementioned amount was determined by the corresponding authorities, primarily based on non-amortized capital expenditure investments.

 

AA2000 | Increase in Domestic Passenger Fees in Argentina

On December 4, 2023, the Argentine airport regulator, Organismo Regulador del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos (“ORSNA”) published Resolution No. 84/2023, approving an increase in the domestic passenger fee to ARS2,540 from ARS1,100, effective January 2024.

 

Guayaquil Airport | Awards & Recognitions

On February 20, 2024, Airports Council International (ACI) World announced the winners of the 2023 Airport Service Quality (ASQ) Awards, recognizing the best airports for customer experience worldwide, as selected by passengers. In this respect, the Guayaquil International Airport has earned the following 2023 ASQ Awards for Latin America and the Caribbean: (i) Best Airport between 2 to 5 million Passengers, (ii) Most Dedicated Staff, (iii) Easiest Airport Journey, (iv) Most Enjoyable Airport, and (v) Cleanest Airport.

 

For further information on subsequent events, please refer to Note 34 of the Company’s Financial Statements, filed with the SEC.

 

Hyperinflation Accounting in Argentina

Following the categorization of Argentina as a country with a three-year cumulative inflation rate greater than 100%, the country is considered highly inflationary in accordance with IFRS. Consequently, starting July 1, 2018, the Company reports results of its Argentinean subsidiaries applying IFRS rule IAS 29. IAS 29 requires that results of operations in hyperinflationary economies are reported as if these economies were highly inflationary as of January 1, 2018, and thus year-to-date results should be restated adjusting for the change in general purchasing power of the local currency, using official indices, before converting the local amounts at the closing rate of the period (i.e. December 31, 2019 closing rate for 2019 results). For comparison purposes, the impact of adopting IAS 29 in Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 (“AA2000”), the Company’s largest subsidiary in Argentina, which accounted for over 95% of passenger traffic, revenues and Adjusted EBITDA, respectively, of the Argentina segment in 4Q23, is presented separately in each of the applicable sections of this earnings release, in a column denominated “IAS 29”.

 

Non-Financial Disclosure

With the assistance of an external advisor and under guidance of the Board of Directors, the Company is preparing its ESG policy and gearing up to make the necessary disclosure under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive in a timely manner.

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This announcement includes certain references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction service, as well as Net Debt:

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income for the period before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.

 

Page 25 of 48

 

 

Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service (“Adjusted EBITDA ex-IFRIC”) is defined as income for the period before construction services revenue and cost, financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction Service (“Adjusted EBITDA Margin ex-IFRIC12”) excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to assets under the concession and is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service revenue and cost, by total revenues less Construction service revenue.

 

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction Service are not measures recognized under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, consolidated net income for the year as determined in accordance with IFRS or as indicators of our operating performance from continuing operations. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information and should note that these measures as calculated by the Company, may differ materially from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service enhances an investor’s understanding of our performance and are useful for investors to assess our operating performance by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service are useful because they allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and construction services (when applicable).

 

Net debt is calculated by deducting “Cash and cash equivalents” from total financial debt.

 

Figures ex-IAS 29 result from dividing nominal Argentine pesos for the Argentine Segment, by the average foreign exchange rate of the Argentine Peso against the US dollar in the period. Percentage variations ex-IAS 29 figures compare results as presented in the prior year quarter before IAS 29 came into effect, against ex-IAS 29 results for this quarter as described above. For comparison purposes, the impact of adopting IAS 29 in Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, the Company’s largest subsidiary in Argentina, is presented separately in each of the applicable sections of this earnings release, in a column denominated “IAS 29”. The impact from “Hyperinflation Accounting in Argentina” is described in more detail page 25 of this report.

 

Definitions and Concepts

Commercial Revenues: CAAP derives commercial revenue principally from fees resulting from warehouse usage (which includes cargo storage, stowage and warehouse services and related international cargo services), services and retail stores, duty free shops, car parking facilities, catering, hangar services, food and beverage services, retail stores, including royalties collected from retailers’ revenue, and rent of space, advertising, fuel, airport counters, VIP lounges and fees collected from other miscellaneous sources, such as telecommunications, car rentals and passenger services.

 

Construction Service revenue and cost: Investments related to improvements and upgrades to be performed in connection with concession agreements are treated under the intangible asset model established by IFRIC 12. As a result, all expenditures associated with investments required by the concession agreements are treated as revenue generating activities given that they ultimately provide future benefits, and subsequent improvements and upgrades made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets based on the principles of IFRIC 12. The revenue and expense are recognized as profit or loss when the expenditures are performed. The cost for such additions and improvements to concession assets is based on actual costs incurred by CAAP in the execution of the additions or improvements, considering the investment requirements in the concession agreements. Through bidding processes, the Company contracts third parties to carry out such construction or improvement services. The amount of revenues for these services is equal to the amount of costs incurred plus a reasonable margin, which is estimated at an average of 3.0% to 5.0%.

(1)Note that preliminary passenger traffic figures for January 2020 for Ezeiza Airport, in Argentina, were adjusted to include additional inbound passengers not accounted for in the initial count, for an average of approximately 5% of total passenger traffic at Ezeiza Airport and 1% of total traffic at CAAP, during that period. Importantly, inbound traffic does not affect revenues, as tariffs are applicable on departure passengers.
(2)Preliminary data on 1,256 flights in January 2020 at Brasilia Airport, due to delays in the submission of information by third parties.
(3)Cargo volumes in Uruguay were rectified from January to June 2020, to reflect all cargo passing through the cargo terminal, instead of air cargo only.
