  • Revenues from improvements to concession assets1

    Revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) increased by Ps. 849.9 million, or 85.8%, compared to 1Q22. The change was composed of:
  1. Improvements to concession assets at the Company’s Mexican airports, which increased by Ps. 866.8 million, or 90.7%, due to increased investments under the Master Development Program for 2020-2024 period.

  2. Improvements to concession assets at the Company’s Jamaican airports, which decreased Ps. 16.9 million, or 48.5%.

_____________________________

1 Revenues from improvements to concession assets are recognized in accordance with International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” (IFRIC 12). However, this recognition does not have a cash impact or impact on the Company’s operating results. Amounts included as a result of the recognition of IFRIC 12 are related to construction of infrastructure in each quarter to which the Company has committed. This is in accordance with the Company’s Master Development Programs in Mexico and Capital Development Programs in Jamaica. All margins and ratios calculated using “Total Revenues” include revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12), and, consequently, such margins and ratios may not be comparable to other ratios and margins, such as EBITDA margin, operating margin or other similar ratios that are calculated based on those results of the Company that do have a cash impact.

Total operating costs increased by Ps. 1,393.1 million, or 48.6%, compared to 1Q22, mainly due to the increase from costs of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) by Ps. 849.9 million, or 85.8%, as well as an increase of Ps. 213.1 million, or 28.3%, in the cost of services, a combined increase of Ps. 257.7 million or 44.9%, in concession taxes and technical assistance fees, and a Ps. 53.5 million, or 9.5%, increase in depreciation and amortization (excluding the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12), operating costs increased Ps. 543.2 million, or 28.9%).

This increase in total operating costs was primarily due to the following factors:
  
Mexican airports:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 1,256.6 million, or 53.8%, compared to 1Q22, primarily due to a Ps. 866.8 million, or 90.7%, increase in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), Ps. 223.8 million, or 39.3%, increase in the cost of services, a combined Ps. 105.4 million, or 27.9%, increase in technical assistance fees and concession taxes, and a Ps. 51.7 million, or 11.8%, increase in depreciation and amortization (excluding the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), operating costs increased by Ps. 389.8 million or 28.2%).

The change in the cost of services at our Mexican airports during 1Q23 was mainly due to:

  • Employee costs increased Ps. 110.3 million, or 46.5%, compared to 1Q22, mainly due to the hiring of 327 additional personnel during 2022 and during the 1Q23, as well as the adjustments in salaries and cost related to changes in Labor Law.
  • Other operating expenses increased Ps. 42.7 million, or 45.2%, compared to 1Q22, mainly due to a combined increase of Ps. 34.5 million in the cost of goods and services for our VIP lounges and convenience stores, due to the increase in sales of these business lines, the increase in FBO services, professional fees, allowance for credit losses and travel expenses.
  • Safety, security, and insurance costs increased Ps. 36.8 million, or 39.9%, compared to 1Q22, mainly due to an increase in the number of security staff and the opening of additional operational areas.
  • Maintenance costs increased by Ps. 17.3 million, or 17.9%, compared to 1Q22, mainly due the expansion of the terminal and airfield.

Jamaican Airport:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 136.6 million, or 25.7%, compared to 1Q22, mainly due to a Ps. 152.3 million, or 77.9%, increase in concession taxes, offset by the decrease in the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) by Ps.16.9 million, or 48.5% and the decrease in cost of services by Ps. 9.7 million, or 5.8%.

Operating income margin went from 52.3% in 1Q22 to 48.9% in 1Q23. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, operating income margin went from 62.6% in 1Q22 to 62.7% in 1Q23. Income from operations increased by Ps. 934.2 million, or 29.7%, compared to 1Q22.

EBITDA margin went from 61.7% in 1Q22 to 56.3% in 1Q23. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, EBITDA margin went from 73.8% in 1Q22 to 72.3% in 1Q23. The nominal value of EBITDA increased by Ps. 987.7 million, or 26.6%, compared to 1Q22.

Financial result increased by Ps. 401.4 million, or 147.0%, from a net expense of Ps. 272.9 million in 1Q22 to a net expense of Ps. 674.3 million in 1Q23. This change was mainly the result of:

  • Foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which went from an income of Ps. 52.7 million in 1Q22 to a loss of Ps. 166.9 million in 1Q23. This generated a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 219.7 million. This was mainly due to the appreciation of the peso. Currency translation effect income decreased Ps. 254.4 million, compared to 1Q22.

  • Interest expenses increased by Ps. 336.9 million, or 71.2%, compared to 1Q22, mainly due to higher debt as a result of the issuance of long-term debt securities and the drawdown of credit lines, as well as the increase in interest rates.

  • Interest income increased by Ps. 155.4 million, or 105.1%, compared to 1Q22, mainly due to an increase in the reference interest rates.

In 1Q23, comprehensive income decreased by Ps. 91.1 million, or 4.1%, compared to 1Q22. Income before taxes increased by Ps. 532.8 million, mainly due to the increase in traffic, the increase in maximum rates due to inflation and the commercial strategy. This growth generated an increase in income taxes of Ps. 295.1 million. However, net and comprehensive income decreased mainly due to the decrease of the effect of foreign currency translation in Ps. 254.4 million, and a decrease in cash flow hedges for Ps. 74.6 million.

During 1Q23, net income increased by Ps. 237.8 million, or 10.2%, compared to 1Q22. Income taxes increased by Ps. 219.0 million and the benefit for deferred taxes decreased by Ps. 76.1 million, mainly due to a decrease in the inflation rate, from 2.4% in 1Q22 to 1.7% in 1Q23.

Statement of Financial Position

Total assets as of March 31, 2023 increased by Ps. 9,649.3 million compared to March 31, 2022, primarily due to the following items: (i) a Ps. 5,965.3 million increase in net improvements to concession assets; and (ii) a Ps. 2,053.9 million combined increase in net machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements, and advances to suppliers, iii) a Ps. 1,991.0 million increase in cash and cash equivalents. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of Ps. 521.2 million in other current assets, among others.
        
Total liabilities as of March 31, 2023 increased by Ps. 9,841.5 million compared to March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to the following items: (i) issuance of Ps. 5,857.6 million (net) in long-term debt securities, (ii) Ps. 4,000.0 million in bank loans, and (iii) Ps. 204.6 million in income taxes payable. This increase was partially offset by decrease of: (i) Ps. 133.0 million in deferred taxes, among others.

Recent events

On March 28, 2023, the Mexican President presented to Congress an initiative to reform various federal laws. The bill provides, among others, additional grounds for the Mexican government to revoke concessions and permits. It also provides a mechanism to speed up private property expropriation by the state. It is unclear whether Congress will pass this bill and, if passed, the impact it could have on the Mexican economy and the Company's operations.

For presentation purposes, the 25.5% stake in Desarrollo de Concesiones Aeroportuarias, S.L. (“DCA”) held by Vantage appears in the Stockholders’ Equity of the Company as a non-controlling interest.

As a part of the adoption of IFRS, the effects of inflation on common stock recognized pursuant to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) through December 31, 2007 were reclassified as retained earnings because accumulated inflation recognized under MFRS is not considered hyperinflationary according to IFRS. For Mexican legal and tax purposes, Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V., as an individual entity, will continue preparing separate financial information under MFRS. Therefore, for any transaction between the Company and its shareholders related to stockholders’ equity, the Company must take into consideration the accounting balances prepared under MFRS as an individual entity and determine the tax impact under tax laws applicable in Mexico, which requires the use of MFRS. For purposes of reporting to stock exchanges, the consolidated financial statements will continue to be prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.
