  • Revenues from improvements to concession assets1
    Revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) increased by Ps. 1,375.1 million, or 255.0%, compared to 4Q21. The change was composed primarily of:

    1. Improvements to concession assets at the Company’s Mexican airports, which increased by Ps. 1,352.9 million, or 269.6%, due to the increased investments under the Master Development Program for the 2020-2024 period.

    2. Improvements to concession assets at Montego Bay airport, which increased Ps. 2.3 million, or 6.0%, while at Kingston airport, they increased by Ps. 19.9 million.

Total operating costs increased by Ps. 1,898.5 million, or 77.4%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to the increase from costs of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) by Ps. 1,375.1 million or 255.0%, as well as an increase of Ps. 264.1 million, or 29.9%, in the cost of services, an increase of Ps. 184.3 million or 35.8%, in concession taxes and technical assistance fees, and a Ps. 78.6 million, or 15.1%, increase in depreciation and amortization (excluding the cost of improvements to concession assets, operating costs increased Ps. 523.4 million, or 27.4%).

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

Mexican airports:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 1,743.8 million, or 89.6%, compared to 4Q21, primarily due to a Ps. 1,352.9 million, or 269.6%, increase in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), Ps. 213.7 million, or 30.1%, increase in the cost of services, a combined Ps. 102.3 million, or 29.4%, increase in technical assistance fees and concession taxes, a Ps. 75.8 million, or 19.3%, increase in depreciation and amortization (excluding the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), operating costs increased by Ps. 391.0 million or 27.1%).

The change in the cost of services at our Mexican airports during 4Q22 was mainly due to:

  • Maintenance costs increased by Ps. 74.2 million, or 42.2%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to the inflation and expansion in the terminal and airfield.
  • Employee costs increased Ps. 66.4 million, or 26.1%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to the hiring of additional personnel as required for airport operations due to the recovery of passenger traffic.
  • Safety, security, and insurance costs increased Ps. 22.4 million, or 22.1%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to an increase in the number of security staff and the opening of additional operational areas.
  • Utility costs increased Ps. 15.1 million, or 23.7%, compared with 4Q21, primarily because of the increase in the consumption and cost of electricity due to the opening of new operational areas, as well as an increase in the cost of fuels and the cost of water.
  • Other operating expenses increased Ps. 35.5 million, or 31.4%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to a combined increase of Ps. 33.5 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.

Montego Bay Airport:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 48.2 million, or 14.5%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to a Ps. 22.1 million, or 47.2%, increase in concession taxes, and Ps. 23.4 million, or 20.7%, increase in the cost of services, and a Ps. 2.2 million, or 6.0%, increase in the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12).

Kingston Airport:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 106.5 million, or 60.4%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to a Ps. 59.8 million, or 52.4%, increase in concession taxes, and a Ps. 27.0 million, or 45.2%, increase in the cost of services, and a Ps. 19.9 million, or 100.0%, increase in the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12).

Operating income margin went from 52.7% in 4Q21 to 45.6% in 4Q22. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, operating income margin went from 58.8% in 4Q21 to 60.0% in 4Q22. Income from operations increased Ps. 918.8 million, or 33.6%, compared to 4Q21.

EBITDA margin went from 62.7% in 4Q21 to 53.1% in 4Q22. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, EBITDA margin went from 70.1% in 4Q21 to 69.8% in 4Q22. The nominal value of EBITDA increased Ps. 997.4 million, or 30.6%, compared to 4Q21.

Financial result increased by Ps. 421.7 million, or 128.4%, from a net expense of Ps. 328.4 million in 4Q21 to a net expense of Ps. 750.1 million in 4Q22. This change was mainly the result of:

  • Foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which went from an income of Ps. 33.2 million in 4Q21 to loss of Ps. 260.6 million in 4Q22. This generated a foreign exchange loss of Ps. 293.8 million. This was mainly due to the appreciation of the peso. Currency translation effect income decreased Ps. 196.6 million, compared to 4Q21.

  • Interest expenses increased by Ps. 266.1 million, or 54.7%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to higher debt as a result of the issuance of long-term debt securities and the draw dawn of credit lines, as well as the increase in interest rates.

  • Interest income increased by Ps. 138.2 million, or 111.0%, compared to 4Q21, mainly due to an increase in the reference interest rates.

In 4Q22, comprehensive income increased Ps. 297.6 million, or 15.2%, compared to 4Q21. This increase was mainly due to a Ps. 497.1 million increase in income before taxes derived from the increase in passenger traffic. This increase was partially offset by an increase in income taxes of Ps. 468.8 million, a Ps. 196.6 million decrease in currency translation effect income and a Ps. 134.1 million decrease in cash flow hedges, among others.

During 4Q22, net income increased by Ps. 28.2 million, or 1.6%, compared to 4Q21. Income taxes increased by Ps. 440.6 million and benefit for deferred taxes decreased by Ps. 28.2 million, mainly due to a decrease in the inflation rate, from 2.4% in 4Q21 to 1.5% in 4Q22.

  • Revenues from improvements to concession assets2
    Revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) increased by Ps. 1,477.9 million, or 43.9%, compared to 2021. The change was composed primarily of:

    1. Improvements to concession assets at the Company’s Mexican airports, which increased by Ps. 1,441.4 million, or 44.0%, as a result of the increase in committed investments under the Master Development Program for the 2020-2024 period.

    2. Improvements to concession assets at the Montego Bay airport increased Ps. 16.5 million, or 17.7%, while at the Kingston airport increased by Ps. 19.9 million.

Total operating costs increased by Ps. 3,408.5 million, or 33.6%, compared to 2021, mainly due to an increase of Ps. 1,477.9 million, or 43.9%, in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), a combined increase of Ps. 894.5 million, or 50.9%, in concession taxes and technical assistance fees, a Ps. 791.4 million, or 26.5%, increase in the cost of services, and a Ps. 262.8 million, or 12.8%, increase in depreciation and amortization, (excluding the cost of improvements to concession assets, operating costs increased Ps. 1,930.6 million, or 28.4%).

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

Mexican airports:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 2,808.3 million, or 33.6%, compared to 2021, primarily due to an increase of Ps. 1,441.4 million, or 44.0%, increase in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), an increase in the cost of services of Ps. 642.8 million, or 27.4%, a combined Ps. 474.6 million, or 39.9%, increase in technical assistance fees and concession taxes, and a Ps. 253.8 million, or 16.3%, increase in depreciation and amortization, (excluding the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), operating costs increased by Ps. 1,366. 8 million or 26.9%).

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

  • Employee costs increased Ps. 240.9 million, or 26.2%, compared to 2021, mainly due to the hiring of additional personnel as required for airport operations due to the recovery of passenger traffic and changes in the Labor Law.
  • Maintenance costs increased by Ps. 140.2 million, or 30.8%, compared to 2021, mainly due to the terminals and airfields expansions.
  • Safety, security, and insurance costs increased Ps. 55.7 million, or 15.1%, compared to 2021, mainly due to an increase in the number of security staff.
  • Utility costs increased Ps. 38.2 million, or 15.4%, compared with 2021, primarily because of the increase in the consumption of electricity due to the opening of new operational areas, as well as the increase in the cost of fuels and water.
  • Other operating expenses increased Ps. 167.7 million or 46.9%, compared to 2021, mainly due to a combined increase of Ps. 136.8 million in the cost of goods and services for our VIP lounges and convenience stores, FBO services, professional fees, the allowance for credit losses and travel expenses.

Montego Bay Airport:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 215.3 million, or 18.7%, compared to 2021, mainly due to a Ps. 117.9 million, or 68.1%, increase in concession taxes and a Ps. 85.1 million, or 21.6%, increase in the cost of services.

Kingston Airport:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 384.9 million, or 59.0%, compared to 2021, mainly due to a Ps. 302.0 million, or 76.4%, increase in concession taxes, a Ps. 63.5 million, or 25.8%, increase in the cost of services, and an increase in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12) of Ps. 19.9 million.

Operating income margin went from 46.6% in 2021 to 50.5% in 2022. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, operating income margin went from 56.6% in 2021 to 61.3% in 2022. Income from operations increased Ps. 4,957.0 million, or 56.0%, compared to 2021.

EBITDA margin went from 57.4% in 2021 to 58.9% in 2022. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, EBITDA margin went from 69.7% in 2021 to 71.6% in 2022. The nominal value of EBITDA increased Ps. 5,219.8 million, or 47.9%, compared to 2021.

Financial result increased by Ps. 510.6 million, or 49.7%, from a net expense of Ps. 1,027.9 million in 2021 to a net expense of Ps. 1,538.5 million in 2022. This change was mainly the result of:

  • Foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which went from income of Ps. 238.3 million in 2021 to income of Ps. 81.4 million in 2022. This generated a decrease in the foreign exchange gain of Ps. 156.9 million. Currency translation effect expense increased Ps. 519.1 million, compared to 2021.

  • Interest expenses increased by Ps. 768.5 million, or 45.6%, compared to 2021, mainly due to higher debt as a result of the issuance of long-term debt securities and the draw dawn of credit lines by Ps. 6,484.4 million, as well as the increase in interest rates. As of December 31, 2022 the debt is 63.8% fixed rate and 36.2% variable rate.

  • Interest income increased by Ps. 415.3 million, or 98.8%, compared to 2021, mainly due to an increase in the reference interest rates.

In 2022, comprehensive income increased Ps. 2,216.4 million, or 33.6%, compared to 2021. This increase was mainly due to a Ps. 4,446.4 million increase in income before taxes derived from the increase in passenger traffic, an increase in the tariffs due to inflation, and the change in our commercial strategy. This increase was partially offset by an increase in income taxes of Ps. 1,304.7 million.

During 2022, net income increased by Ps. 3,141.8 million, or 52.0%, compared to 2021. Income taxes increased by Ps. 1,534.1 million and were partially offset by a Ps. 229.4 million increase in the benefit for deferred taxes, mainly due to an increase in the inflation rate, from 7.4% in 2021 to 7.8% in 2022.

Statement of Financial Position

Total assets as of December 31, 2022 increased by Ps. 5,182.3 million as compared to December 31, 2021, primarily due to the following items: (i) a Ps. 3,402.6 million increase in net improvements to concession assets; and (ii) a Ps. 2,475.1 million combined increase in net machinery, equipment and leasehold improvements, and advances to suppliers. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of Ps. 572.3 million in other current assets, among others.

Total liabilities as of December 31, 2022 increased by Ps. 5,782.8 million compared to December 31, 2021.

Recent events

In January 2023, Guadalajara Airport acquired 116.7 hectares of land from Ejido El Zapote for Ps. 1,143.3 million for the future expansion of the airport, which is included in the airport Master Development Program. In December 2022, the in cooperation with the Guadalajara airport signed a substitute compliance agreement with the Ejido. As part of this agreement, the airport agreed to pay the amount of Ps. 82.5 million, related to the expropriation procedure of the land where the airport is located. With this payment, the lawsuits related to this claim are definitively terminated.

On February 15, 2023, the airline Aeromar announced the suspension of operations due to financial problems and the difficulty in closing agreements with viable conditions to operate in the long term. In our airport network, Aeromar operated in the airports of Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and Aguascalientes, without having any exclusive route. During 2022, Aeromar operations represented 0.23% of the total passenger traffic at our airports in Mexico. To date, the airline has a balance payable to GAP of Ps. 37.8 million, of which Ps. 35.6 million were reserved as of December 31, 2022, so this suspension will not have any significant impact on the financial results or the Company operation.

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 being prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.
