§ 27.8% in aircraft movements, to 93.9% of 1Q19 levels.

 

§ Operating Income of $102.0 million, up from $51.8 million in 1Q22, mainly reflecting the YoY recovery in passenger traffic.

CEO Message

 

Commenting on the results for the quarter Mr. Martín Eurnekian, CEO of Corporación América Airports, noted: “We are pleased with the strong start to the year, continuing the recovery trend from 2022 and delivering record-high Adjusted EBITDA of $140.6 million, surpassing 1Q19 levels by 20%.This good performance was driven by positive Adjusted EBITDA across all countries of operations, supported by the success of our commercial initiatives, solid aeronautical revenues along with cost controls. Notably, this was achieved with total passenger traffic at 90% of pre-pandemic levels.

 

We are on track with our capex commitments in Argentina which is part of the extension agreement previously announced. Importantly, last month we achieved a key milestone with the opening of our new state-of-the-art departure terminal at Ezeiza Airport, in Argentina. We are particularly pleased to be operating the most modern airport in Latin America. We are making progress in other countries as well. In Armenia, we remain in discussions with the government with respect to a new capex plan to increase capacity to serve, with a high quality of service, the growing demand we are experiencing. In Italy, the approval process for the new master plan at Florence Airport remains on track, which will allow us to unlock unattended demand.

 

Expanding our airport network is also an important growth opportunity for us and a key pillar of our value-creation strategy. To that end, the negotiations with Nigerian authorities in connection with the concession agreements for Abuja and Kano airports are moving ahead, as expected. Furthermore, as we seek other markets in which to expand our network, we are currently analyzing two additional attractive airport concession investment opportunities in other countries.

 

Although the macro environment remains volatile, passenger traffic in April has further increased, reaching 95% of 2019 levels and we expect travel demand to continue expanding throughout the year. As we look to the future, with an investment plan in place and a solid financial position, we are well prepared to deliver long-term value creation to our shareholders”

1Q23 Operating Performance

 

Passenger Traffic

 

Total passenger traffic increased 37.3% YoY to 18.5 million, reaching 89.9% of pre-pandemic levels, up from 87.6% in the previous quarter. Performance was supported by a continued recovery in travel demand, as reflected by higher load factors and the gradual return of flight routes and frequencies across all countries of operations. Notably, in 1Q23, all countries of operations except Uruguay reported passenger traffic above 85% of pre-pandemic levels, with Armenia, Ecuador and Argentina at 180.7%, 103.3% and 92.5% of 1Q19 levels, respectively. International traffic increased 73.5% YoY, reaching 90.9% of pre-pandemic levels, up 50 basis points from 4Q22, while domestic traffic increased 24.2% YoY to 91.2% of 1Q19 levels, and up from 85.2% in the previous quarter. Traffic in January, February, and March were 89.9%, 88.1%, and 91.7% of traffic levels for the same months in 2019, respectively.

 

Passenger Traffic in Argentina increased 45.4% YoY and improved to 92.5% of pre-pandemic levels, in line with the 92.3% posted in the prior quarter. International passenger traffic, which continued improving since the full re-opening of borders on November 1, 2021, and the lifting of travel requirements, increased 83.5% YoY in 1Q23 to 78.1% of 1Q19 traffic levels, down from 82.1% in the previous quarter. Domestic passenger traffic, which accounted for almost 70% of total traffic in the quarter, increased 33.0% YoY and exceeded 1Q19 levels by 0.9%.

 

In Italy, passenger traffic increased 61.5% YoY to 91.3% of pre-pandemic levels, up from 85.5% in 4Q22. International traffic increased 84.9% YoY and stood at 94.1% of 1Q19 levels, while Domestic traffic grew 17.6% YoY reaching 83.8% of 1Q19 levels. Year-on-year comparison benefited from lower traffic in 1Q22, when travel demand was heavily impacted by the Omicron variant.

 

In Brazil, total passenger traffic rose 10.6% YoY, reaching 85.5% of 1Q19 pre-pandemic levels, slightly up from 85.0% in the prior quarter. Domestic passenger traffic was up 3.1% YoY and reached 90.1% of 1Q19 levels, while transit passengers increased 20.7% YoY to 80.0% of 1Q19 levels. Passenger traffic during the quarter was impacted by higher airfares that contributed to reduce travel demand.

 

In Uruguay, where traffic is mainly international, passenger traffic increased 53.7% YoY, reaching 77.3% of 1Q19 levels, down from 83.2% recorded in 4Q22. Passenger traffic during the quarter was impacted by weaker-than-expected seasonal tourism in Punta del Este.

 

In Armenia, passenger traffic improved 83.1% YoY and exceeded, for the fourth consecutive quarter, pre-pandemic levels by 80.7%. The introduction of new airlines and higher number of flight frequencies continue to support traffic performance.

 

In Ecuador, total passenger traffic grew 30.9% YoY, exceeding pre-pandemic levels by 3.3%. Both domestic and international passenger traffic continued to increase, reaching 103.5% and 103.2% of 1Q19 levels, respectively. Traffic in the quarter benefited from a higher number of flight frequencies at both international and domestic routes. Routes to Europe, the US, and Panama continue to operate at higher levels than 2019 supporting higher international passenger.

 

Cargo Volume

 

Cargo volume increased 5.2% YoY in 1Q23, to 81.0% of 1Q19 pre-pandemic levels, with strong contributions from Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador and Uruguay, which together accounted for almost 88% of total volume in the quarter. Notably, cargo volume in Armenia, Uruguay and Italy was above 1Q19 levels, while Argentina and Ecuador were at 78% and 70% of pre-pandemic levels, respectively.

 

Aircraft Movements

 

Total aircraft movements increased 27.8% YoY in 1Q23 and reached 93.9% of 1Q19 levels. Almost 85% of aircraft movements in the quarter came from Argentina (55%), Brazil (19%) and Ecuador (10%), which reached 95.2%, 95.0%, and 95.2% of pre-pandemic levels, respectively. Notably, aircraft movements in Armenia surpassed 1Q19 levels by 76.8%.

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.

 

Commencing 3Q18, the Company began reporting results of its Argentinean subsidiaries applying Hyperinflation Accounting, in accordance with IFRS rule IAS 29, as detailed in Section “Hyperinflation Accounting in Argentina” on page 23.

 

Revenues

 

Consolidated Revenues increased 48.0% YoY to $382.1 million in 1Q23, or 44.2% YoY to $351.0 million, when excluding Construction Services and the impact of IAS 29, reflecting higher activity across all countries of operations. When compared to 1Q19 and also excluding IAS 29, Revenues excluding Construction Services increased 12.9%, despite traffic at 89.9% of pre-pandemic volumes. This growth was driven by tariff increases and Commercial Revenues which were 36.2% above 1Q19 levels.

 

The following table shows revenue performance by country. More detail on the performance of CAAP´s countries of operations can be found on page 12.

Aeronautical Revenues accounted for 48.6% of total revenues and increased 55.5% YoY to $185.6 million. Excluding IAS 29, Aeronautical revenues increased 57.4% YoY to $187.4 million and reached 97.4% of 1Q19 levels, benefiting from tariff increases, even with passenger traffic at 89.9% of pre-pandemic volumes. During the quarter, aeronautical revenue declined 40.0%, or $6.8 million, in Italy, 28.4%, or $4.1 million in Brazil, and 10.6%, or $2.2 million in Uruguay, compared to the same quarter of 2019. In Argentina, however, aeronautical revenues excluding IAS 29 increased by 1.3%, while Armenia and Ecuador reported increases of 63.5% and 0.8%, respectively, from pre-pandemic levels of 1Q19.

 

Non-Aeronautical Revenues accounted for 51.4% of total revenues and increased 41.6% YoY to $196.5 million. When compared to 1Q19 and excluding the impact of IAS 29, non-aeronautical revenues improved 8.9%, or $16.3 million, to $199.2 million, reflecting an increase of 36.2%, or $42.8 million, in Commercial Revenues, principally driven by higher Cargo, Parking, and Duty-free revenues in Argentina, and higher Fueling services in Armenia, partially offset by a decline of 44.6%, or $28.7 million, in Construction Service Revenue, mainly as a result of lower CAPEX in Argentina.

 

Compared to 1Q19 and excluding both, Construction Service Revenue and the impact of IAS 29, non-aeronautical revenues increased 37.9% to $163.6 million.

 

Operating Costs and Expenses

 

During 1Q23, Operating Costs and Expenses, excluding Construction Service Costs, increased 28.3% YoY to $252.2 million, mainly driven by higher Cost of Fuel in Armenia, overall higher Salaries and Social Security Contributions together with increased Concession fees, in line with higher activity. When compared to 1Q19, Operating Costs and Expenses, excluding Construction Service Costs and IAS 29, increased by 6.8% to $237.1 million, mainly driven by higher Cost of fuel in Armenia, tied to higher fuel sales, as well as higher Salaries and Social Security Contributions resulting from inflation increases exceeding currency depreciation in Argentina.

 

Cost of Services increased 38.3% YoY to $246.1 million, reflecting higher traffic and cargo activity. When compared to 1Q19 and excluding IAS29, Cost of Services decreased 5.1%, mainly as a result of the following decreases:

 

§ 44.7%, or $28.4 million, in Construction Service Costs, reflecting lower Capex,

 

§ 21.3%, or $5.4 million, in Amortization and depreciation, and

 

§ 72.3%, or $3.2 million, in Taxes.

 

This was partially offset by an increase of 211.0%, or $16.3 million, in Cost of fuel, primarily in Armenia, and 13.5%, or $6.4 million, in Salaries and Social Security Contributions, mainly in Argentina.

 

Excluding Construction Service Costs, Cost of Services increased 29.4% YoY to $213.0 million. On a comparable basis against 1Q19 and excluding the impact of IAS29, Cost of Services increased 8.7%, or $15.9 million, to $197.7 million, mainly reflecting the aforementioned increase in Cost of fuel and Salaries.

 

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (“SG&A”) increased 23.4% YoY, to $38.4 million in 1Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis. When compared to 1Q19, SG&A decreased 0.3%, or 1.9% excluding IAS29.

 

Other Expenses totaled $0.8 million in 1Q23 and remained flat YoY and also against 1Q19 pre-pandemic levels.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service

 

During 1Q23, CAAP reported Adjusted EBITDA of $140.6 million, up from an Adjusted EBITDA of $89.2 million in the year-ago period, which included a recognition of $12.4 million in Argentina, related to outstanding amounts owed by a national carrier. All countries of operations reported positive Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter, with Argentina, Armenia and Uruguay accounting for over 87% of total Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA margin, ex-IFRIC12, expanded to 40.2% from 36.3% in 1Q22, with margin expansion in all countries of operations, except for Uruguay and Armenia.

 

Compared to pre-pandemic levels, Adjusted EBITDA was 20.2% higher than the $116.9 million reported in 1Q19, and Adjusted EBITDA margin ex-IFRIC12 expanded 1.5 percentage points versus 1Q19 level.

Financial Income and Loss

 

CAAP reported a Net financial loss of $40.6 million in 1Q23 compared to a loss of $32.2 million in 1Q22. Had IAS 29 not been applied, and compared to 1Q19, the Net financial loss would have increased 91.7%, or $72.8 million, to $152.3 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.

Passenger Traffic increased 45.4% YoY and improved to 92.5% of pre-pandemic levels, in line with the 92.3% posted in the prior quarter. International passenger traffic, which continued improving since the full re-opening of borders on November 1, 2021, and the lifting of travel requirements, increased 83.5% YoY in 1Q23 to 78.1% of 1Q19 traffic levels, down from 82.1% in the previous quarter. Domestic passenger traffic, which accounted for almost 70% of total traffic in the quarter, increased 33.0% YoY and exceeded 1Q19 levels by 0.9%.

 

Revenues increased 51.8% YoY to $223.5 million in 1Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis or 54.3% to $228.1 million when excluding the impact of rule IAS29, primarily due to a 78.0% increase in Aeronautical revenues as well as a 17.5% increase in Commercial revenues, reflecting higher year-over-year activity. In addition, Construction service revenue increased 140.0% YoY reflecting higher Capex in the quarter. When compared to 1Q19 and excluding both Construction Services and the impact of IAS 29, revenues grew by 12.5%, or $21.8 million to $197.3 million, driven by increases of 32.3% in Commercial revenues and 1.3% in Aeronautical revenues.

 

· Aeronautical Revenues ex-IAS29 grew by 1.3% against 1Q19, or $1.5 million, reflecting the recovery in passenger traffic along with higher international passenger fee introduced in March 2021 and higher domestic passenger fees introduced in March 2022 and March 2023.

 

· Commercial Revenues ex-IAS29 increased 32.3% compared to 1Q19, or $20.4 million, mainly driven by an increase of 28.6%, or $9.2 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 and Parking-related revenues also supported the performance, growing 113.7% and 66.9%, respectively, against pre-pandemic levels.

 

Total Costs and Expenses increased 45.2% YoY to $159.9 million in 1Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis, mainly reflecting an increase of 44.2% in Cost of Services, in line with higher year-over-year activity. Excluding Construction Service and the impact of IAS 29, Total Cost and Expenses increased 40.7% YoY, due to the rise in operating costs following traffic recovery from the same period of last year. When compared to 1Q19, however, Total Cost and Expenses excluding the impact of rule IAS 29 and Construction Services increased 9.8%, or $10.4 million, primarily due to higher Cost of Services.

 

· Cost of Services ex-IAS29 and excluding Construction Service Costs increased 9.8% compared to 1Q19, or $8.6 million, driven mainly by the following increases:

 

· 48.9%, or $10.7 million, in Salaries and social security contributions, mainly as a result of inflation rates significantly above currency depreciation, and

 

· 11.6%, or $3.0 million, in Concession Fees.

 

The above was partially offset by a 52.4% decrease, or $4.5 million, in Amortization and depreciation, and a 20.9% decrease, or $1.2 million, in Services and fees.

 

· SG&A ex-IAS29 increased by 7.8% against 1Q19, or $1.4 million, to $19.5 million in 1Q23, mainly due to higher Taxes and an increase in Salaries and social security contributions, partially offset by lower bad debts.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 45.2% YoY to $89.8 million in 1Q23 on an ‘As reported basis’. When excluding the impact of IAS 29, Adjusted Segment EBITDA was $90.4 million with Adjusted EBITDA margin EX-IFRIC12 of 45.8% in the quarter, compared to 45.4% in 1Q22. Compared to pre-pandemic levels of 1Q19, Adjusted EBITDA excluding IAS 29 increased 8.2%, or $6.8 million from $83.5 million, while Adjusted EBITDA margin EX-IFRIC12 expanded 0.2 percentage points from 45.6%.

 

During 1Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures ex-IAS29 of $30.9 million, compared to $12.6 million in 1Q22 and $59.5 million in 1Q19. These expenditures were primarily associated with the construction of the new departures terminal at Ezeiza airport, the apron extension at Bariloche airport, and enhancements to the apron and runway at San Rafael airport.

Passenger Traffic in Italy increased 61.5% YoY to 91.3% of pre-pandemic levels, up from 85.5% in 4Q22. International traffic increased 84.9% YoY and stood at 94.1% of 1Q19 levels, while Domestic traffic grew 17.6% YoY reaching 83.8% of 1Q19 levels. Year-on-year comparison benefited from lower traffic in 1Q22, when travel demand was heavily impacted by the Omicron variant.

 

Revenues increased 23.3% YoY to $20.9 million in 1Q23, driven by higher Commercial and Aeronautical revenues, reflecting greater year-over-year activity and easier comparisons against 1Q22, which was impacted by the Omicron variant. Commercial revenues grew 38.0% YoY, mainly driven by passenger-related services such as Parking facilities, F&B services and VIP lounges, following the strong year-over-year traffic recovery. When compared to 1Q19, revenues excluding Construction service declined 20.6%, or $5.2 million, to $19.9 million, principally due to lower passenger traffic impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.

 

· Aeronautical Revenues dropped 40.0% versus 1Q19, or $6.8 million, as a result of lower passenger traffic, 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, passenger 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 declined 8.0% versus 1Q19, or $0.6 million, mainly due to reductions in Parking Facilities, Retail stores and Advertising, partially offset by higher Duty Free services.

Total Costs and Expenses decreased 5.2% YoY, or $1.2 million, in 1Q23 mainly driven by lower Cost of Services expenses. Excluding Construction Services, Total Cost and Expenses declined 3.3% YoY to $21.3 million. Compared to the same quarter of 2019, Total Cost and Expenses decreased 20.5%, or 19.4% when excluding Construction Services.

 

· Cost of Services excluding Construction service decreased 22.5%, or $5.2 million, against 1Q19 on a comparable basis, mainly due to lower Salaries and Social Security Contribution expenses as well as lower Services and fees.

 

· SG&A remained largely stable at $3.4 million against 1Q19.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA improved to $1.7 million from ($3.2) million recorded in 1Q22. Compared to 1Q19, Adjusted EBITDA decreased 20.4%, with Adjusted EBITDA margin expanding 0.2 percentage points to 8.4%.

 

During 1Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $1.3 million, compared to $2.0 million in 1Q22 and $3.0 million in 1Q19.

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 rose 10.6% YoY, reaching 85.5% of 1Q19 pre-pandemic levels, slightly up from 85.0% in the prior quarter. Domestic passenger traffic was up 3.1% YoY and reached 90.1% of 1Q19 levels, while transit passengers increased 20.7% YoY to 80.0% of 1Q19 levels. Passenger traffic during the quarter was impacted by higher airfares that contributed to reduce travel demand.

 

Revenues increased 18.8% YoY to $24.7 million in 1Q23 due to higher Commercial and Aeronautical revenues reflecting higher year-over-year activity. When compared to 1Q19, revenues declined 16.9%, or $5.0 million, mainly reflecting lower aeronautical and commercial activities resulting from the drop in passenger traffic, and to a lesser extent, the 37.8% average depreciation of the Brazilian real against the US dollar since 1Q19.

 

· Aeronautical Revenues declined 28.4% vs 1Q19, or $4.1 million, driven by lower passenger traffic, coupled with the depreciation of the Brazilian Real.

 

· Commercial Revenues declined 5.8% against 1Q19, or $0.9 million, also impacted by lower passenger traffic and currency depreciation primarily resulting in lower passenger-related revenues such as Retail, Duty free and F&B, combined with lower Cargo revenues. The Revenue decline was also driven by lower Rental revenues reflecting discounts granted and closure of operations of certain tenants, together with lower Fuel revenues, in line with the reduction in aircraft movements. This was partially offset by a solid performance of VIP lounges.

 

Total Costs and Expenses decreased 2.7% YoY to $19.7 million and declined 34.2% against 1Q19 pre-pandemic levels.

 

· Cost of Services declined 27.5% vs. 1Q19, or $6.7 million, benefiting from cost reduction initiatives taken to mitigate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, coupled with the 37.8% average depreciation of the Brazilian Real since 1Q19. 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,

 

Page 16 of 36


 

· Maintenance expenses, and

 

· Services and Fees mainly due to the renegotiation of contracts related to security and Aviation Security Protection together with lower utilities expenses, coupled with local currency depreciation.

 

· SG&A decreased 52.8% YoY, to $1.9 million on an ‘As reported’ basis, mainly due to lower Bad debts.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased to $8.0 million compared to $3.4 million in the year ago period and $3.0 million in 1Q19. Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 16.2 percentage points versus 1Q22 and 22.2 percentage points to 32.4%.

 

During 1Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $0.3 million, compared to $0.5 million in 1Q22 and $1.3 million in 1Q19.

In Uruguay, where traffic is mainly international, passenger traffic increased 53.7% YoY, reaching 77.3% of 1Q19 levels, down from 83.2% recorded in 4Q22. Passenger traffic during the quarter was impacted by weaker-than-expected seasonal tourism in Punta del Este.

 

Revenues increased 54.4% YoY to $38.0 million in 1Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis, or 45.3% when excluding Construction service revenue. Compared to 1Q19, and excluding IFRIC12, revenues grew 2.4%, or $0.8 million, to $34.9 million, driven by higher Commercial revenues, partially offset by lower Aeronautical revenues.

 

· Aeronautical Revenues increased 64.4% YoY, or $7.1 million, to $18.1 million, in line with the increase in passenger traffic against 1Q22,

 

· Commercial Revenues increased 21.7% vs. 1Q19, or $3.0 million, to $16.7 million, mainly driven by higher Fuel and Cargo revenues, partially offset by lower passenger-related revenues such as Duty Free, VIP Lounge and Retail stores, as a result of lower passenger traffic.

 

Total Costs and Expenses increased 65.3% YoY to $23.6 million. Excluding Construction Service, Total Cost and Expenses rose 49.9% YoY to $20.5 million, due to an increase in operating costs following higher traffic activity when compared to 1Q22. Against the same quarter in 2019, Total Cost and Expenses excluding IFRIC12 increased 9.5%, or $1.8 million, primarily due to higher Cost of services and SG&A expenses.

 

· Cost of services increased 21.5% compared to 1Q19, or $3.3 million. Excluding Construction service cost, cost of services increased 5.8%, or $0.9 million.

 

· SG&A increased 51.0% YoY, to $4.7 million, and grew 23.7% against 1Q19, mainly as a result of higher Services and fees and Taxes.

In Armenia, passenger traffic improved 83.1% YoY and exceeded, for the fourth consecutive quarter, pre-pandemic levels by 80.7%. The introduction of new airlines and higher number of flight frequencies continue to support traffic performance.

 

Revenues increased 85.4% YoY to $50.3 million in 1Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis, or 85.2% when excluding Construction service revenue. Compared to 1Q19, and excluding IFRIC12, revenues increased 117.5%, or $26.9 million, to $49.7 million, mainly driven by an increase in Commercial revenues following solid traffic recovery.

 

· Aeronautical Revenues increased 61.5% YoY, or $6.4 million, to $16.8 million, in line with the increase in passenger traffic against 1Q22.

 

· Commercial Revenues increased 161.3% vs. 1Q19, or $20.3 million, to $32.9 million, mainly driven by higher Fuel revenues and increases in all passenger-related revenues such as Duty Free, VIP Lounge and Retail stores.

 

Total Costs and Expenses increased 76.9% YoY to $37.1 million, due to an increase in operating costs following higher traffic activity when compared to 1Q22. Against the same quarter in 2019, Total Cost and Expenses excluding IFRIC12 increased 113.4%, or $19.4 million, primarily due to higher Cost of services.

 

· Cost of services increased 104.4% compared to 1Q19, or $17.2 million, mainly driven by higher Cost of fuel and, to a lesser extent, higher Salaries and social security contributions.

 

· SG&A increased 12.1% YoY, to $3.4 million, and grew 19.2% against 1Q19.

Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 69.8% YoY to $17.1 million in 1Q23, and increased 90.2%, or $8.1 million, when compared to 1Q19, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin Ex IFRIC12 contracting 4.7 percentage points to 34.4%. Adjusted EBITDA margin contraction is mainly explained by the growing Fuel business, which has a lower margin.

 

During 1Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $1.7 million in Armenia, compared to $1.0 million in 1Q22 and $1.5 million in 1Q19.

In Ecuador, total passenger traffic grew 30.9% YoY, exceeding pre-pandemic levels by 3.3%. Both domestic and international passenger traffic continued to increase, reaching 103.5% and 103.2% of 1Q19 levels, respectively. Traffic in the quarter benefited from a higher number of flight frequencies at both international and domestic routes. Routes to Europe, the US, and Panama continue to operate at higher levels than 2019 supporting higher international passenger.

 

Revenues increased 14.6% YoY to $24.5 million in 1Q23 on an ‘As reported’ basis. Compared to 1Q19, revenues increased 3.2%, or $0.8 million, mainly driven by an increase in Commercial revenues following solid traffic recovery.

 

· Aeronautical Revenues increased 14.4% YoY, or $2.3 million, to $18.0 million, in line with the increase in passenger traffic against 1Q22.

 

· Commercial Revenues increased 10.4% vs. 1Q19, or $0.6 million, to $6.5 million, mainly driven by higher Fuel revenues and Duty Free.

 

Total Costs and Expenses increased 12.2% YoY to $17.7 million, due to an increase in operating costs following higher traffic activity when compared to 1Q22. Against the same quarter in 2019, however, Total Cost and Expenses decreased 1.4%, or $0.3 million, primarily due to lower SG&A.

 

· Cost of services increased 1.2% compared to 1Q19, or $0.2 million, mainly driven by higher Amortization and depreciation, Salaries and social security contributions, and Services and fees, partially offset by lower Concession fees.

 

· SG&A increased 15.9% YoY, to $3.4 million, and declined 11.0% against 1Q19.

 

Adjusted Segment EBITDA increased 16.8% YoY to $7.7 million in 1Q23, and increased 23.9%, or $1.5 million, when compared to 1Q19, with Adjusted EBITDA Margin expanding 5.2 percentage points to 31.3%.

 

During 1Q23, CAAP made Capital Expenditures of $0.3 million in Ecuador, compared to also $0.3 million in 1Q22 and $0.1 million in 1Q19.

Key Quarter Highlights and Subsequent Events

 

AA2000 | New Departures Terminal at Ezeiza Airport

 

On April 14, 2023, AA2000 inaugurated the new departures 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.

 

AIA, Armenia | Indebtedness

 

In April 2023, Ameriabank C.J.S.C. disbursed to AIA the remaining € 20 million (equivalent to $21.8 million) set in the loan agreement signed in December 2022, bearing an annual interest rate of 6% and repayable by December 2025 in semi-annual equal installments, starting in December 2023.

 

CAAP | Annual General Shareholders Meeting

 

On May 23, 2023, Corporación América Airports held its annual general meeting of shareholders in Luxembourg. The Company’s shareholders approved and adopted all matters submitted to them at the Meeting.

 

ICASGA, Natal, Brazil | Concession Agreement

 

In November 2020, the Company’s subsidiary “Inframerica Concessionaria do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A.” (ICASGA), executed an irrevocable amendment for the termination of the existing Natal concession agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment agreement, upon the execution of a new concession agreement with a new operator, an indemnification payment will be made to ICASGA. Following the issuance of the tender documents in January 2023, the auction for the Natal airport successfully took place on May 19th at the Brazilian stock exchange. This is the first so-called friendly termination of concession agreements in Brazil, in accordance with Law 13.448/2017. The indemnification payment will be made to the Company soon after the signing of the new concession agreement, which is expected to occur during the fourth quarter of this year.

 

For further information on subsequent events, please refer to Note 20 of the Company’s Financial Statements, filed with the SEC on Form 6-K.

 

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 1Q23, is presented separately in each of the applicable sections of this earnings release, in a column denominated “IAS 29”.

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.

 

Page 23 of 36


 

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

 

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 23 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.
