GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Feb. 22, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: PAC; BMV: GAP) (“the Company” or “GAP”) reported its consolidated results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2021 (4Q21) (passenger traffic and consolidated results tables for 2021 compared to 2019, in order to illustrate the recovery of these metrics and their trend, are set forth at the end of this report). Figures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

COVID-19 Impact

During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, passenger traffic increased 57.1% as compared to the same period of 2020 and decreased 11.8% as compared to 2019, demonstrating a better-than-expected recovery. Having a highly diversified portfolio of airports allowed the recovery of traffic even though certain restrictions or additional requirements were maintained to travel in some countries during 2021. The foregoing allowed the results in fiscal year 2021 to grow compared to fiscal years 2019 and 2020, generating positive net cash flow over these years.

Company measures during 4Q21:

  • The Company continued supporting commercial clients during the quarter by granting discounts on guaranteed minimum rent amounts in accordance with the percentage decrease in passenger traffic at each airport as compared to 4Q19. However, in most of the contracts it was not applied, since the percentage of participation in revenues was higher than the minimum rents. With regards to support for the airlines, the Company continued its incentive program in accordance with the reactivation of routes and frequencies that were held prior to the pandemic.
  • Operating cost control measures were maintained; however, because of the trend in passenger traffic during 4Q21, we have gradually increased certain costs such as maintenance, security, personnel, cleaning services and others related to the quality and travel experience of our passengers.

Impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s Financial Position:

During 4Q21, results were significantly better as compared to 4Q20, with an increase in total revenues of 121.3% and an increase in cost of services of 38.2%. The Company generated positive EBITDA of Ps. 3,255.0 million, 84.2% over 4Q20.

In 4Q21, operating activities continued generating positive cash flow from operating activities for Ps. 3,524.5 million. The Company reported a financial position of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2021, of         Ps. 13,332.9 million (7.7% lower than the balance as of December 31, 2020). During 4Q21, the Company issued Ps. 2,500.0 million in long-term debt securities (Certificados Bursátiles) to finance the committed investments for our Mexican airports. Additionally, Ps. 637.7 million in share repurchases were made during 4Q21.

In 4Q21, the Company performed an assessment of the portfolio risk of our airlines and commercial clients in terms of liquidity. Because of this assessment, it was determined that no reserve provision for expected credit losses in costs of operation was necessary for this quarter due to the growth and recovery of our main airlines and commercial clients.

During 4Q21, the Company continued evaluating the possible adverse impacts of the pandemic on its financial condition and operating results. The Company also reviewed key indicators and impairment tests of significant long-term assets, expected credit losses and recovery of assets due to deferred taxes. In this evaluation, the Company reviewed financial results for the short, medium, and long term, concluding that a significant deterioration of the Company’s assets is not expected. As such, the Company does not foresee a business interruption or closing operations at any of its airports. However, the Company cannot ensure that the negative effect of the pandemic will continue decreasing in the coming quarter, nor can it ensure that local and global economic conditions will improve. The Company can also not predict the availability of financing, or what general credit conditions will be.

The Company will continue to monitor the pandemic’s adverse effects on the results of operations and will continue informing the market in a timely manner regarding future material updates on airport operations and the measures adopted for preserving liquidity and ensuring business continuity.

    1. Revenues at the Company’s Mexican airports increased by Ps. 1,277.0 million or 69.5% compared to 4Q20, mainly as a result of the 49.7% increase in passenger traffic and the adjustment in maximum tariffs.

    2. Revenues from the Montego Bay airport increased by Ps. 206.1 million, or 192.9%, compared to 4Q20. This was mainly due to the 187.7% increase in passenger traffic.

  • Revenues from improvements to concession assets1
    Revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12) increased by Ps. 868.6 million, or 263.6%, compared to 4Q20. The change was composed primarily of:
  1. The Company’s Mexican airports increased by Ps. 921.1 million, or 219.7%, as a result of the adjustment in committed investments in the Master Development Program for the 2020-2024 period.

  2. Decrease in improvements to concession assets at the Montego Bay and Kingston airports of Ps. 1.1 million, or 2.9% and Ps. 51.4 million, or 100.0%, respectively.

________________________
[1] Revenues from improvements to concession assets are recognized in accordance with International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” (IFRIC 12), but this recognition does not have a cash impact or an 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 in accordance with the Company’s Master Development Programs in Mexico and Capital Development Program 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. 1,368.8 million, or 126.3%, compared to 4Q20, mainly due to a Ps. 868.6 million, or 263.6%, increase in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC 12), a Ps.231.9 million, or 81.8%, increase in concession taxes and technical assistance fees, and a Ps. 243.6 million, or 38.2% increase in cost of services (excluding the cost of improvements to concession assets, operating costs increased Ps. 500.2 million, or 35.3%).

This increase in total operating costs was composed primarily of the following factors:

Mexican Airports:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 1,307.2 million, or 204.9%, compared to 4Q20, primarily due to a Ps. 921.1 million, or 219.7%, increase in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC 12), a Ps. 224.1 million, or 46.2%, increase in cost of services, a combined Ps. 139.4 million, or 66.8%, increase in technical assistance fees and concession taxes and a Ps. 16.2 million, or 4.3%, increase in depreciation and amortization (excluding the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), operating costs increased by Ps. 386.1 million or 36.5%).

The change in the cost of services during 4Q21 was mainly due to:

  • Maintenance costs increased by Ps. 67.1 million, or 61.7%, compared to 4Q20.
  • Other operating expenses increased Ps. 63.4 million or 128.0%, compared to 4Q20, mainly due to a combined increase of Ps. 83.7 million in the cost of goods and services for our VIP lounges and convenience stores, FBO services and travel expenses. This increase was partially offset by a Ps. 21.5 million combined decrease in the allowance for credit losses, sanitation supplies, and the purchase of supplies and donations for the medical sector for the prevention of COVID-19.
  • Employee costs increased Ps. 61.9 million, or 32.2%, compared to 4Q20, mainly due to the recognition of labor provisions in accordance with the Labor Reform and the hiring of additional personnel as required for airport operations due to the recovery of passenger traffic.
  • Safety, security and insurance costs increased Ps. 20.4 million, or 25.2%, compared to 4Q20, mainly due to an increase in the number of security staff as compared when the partial closure of some operating areas reduced the need for personnel in 4Q20.

Montego Bay Airport:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 58.2 million, or 21.3%, compared to 4Q20, mainly due to a Ps. 36.9 million, or 228.8% increase in concession taxes, a Ps. 20.0 million, or 21.5% increase in the cost of services and a Ps. 5.7 million increase in other expenses. This increase was partially offset by a Ps. 1.1 million, or 2.9%, decrease in the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12), and a Ps. 3.3 million, or 2.6%, decrease in depreciation and amortization.

Kingston Airport:

  • Operating costs increased by Ps. 3.4 million, or 2.0%, compared to 4Q20, mainly due to a Ps. 55.6 million, or 95.0% increase in concession taxes and partially offset by a Ps. 51.4 million decrease in the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12).

Operating margin went from 53.8% in 4Q20 to 52.7% in 4Q21. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, operating margin went from 47.1% in 4Q20 to 58.8% in 4Q21. Operating income increased Ps. 1,475.1 million, or 117.0%, compared to 4Q20.

EBITDA margin went from 75.4% in 4Q20 to 62.7% in 4Q21. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, EBITDA margin went from 66.2% in 4Q20 to 70.1% in 4Q21. The nominal value of EBITDA increased Ps. 1,488.4 million, or 84.2%, compared to 4Q20.

  • Financial cost decreased by Ps. 538.5 million, or 62.1%, from a net expense of Ps. 866.8 million in 4Q20 to a net expense of Ps. 328.4 million in 4Q21. This change was mainly the result of foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which went from an expense of Ps. 529.9 million in 4Q20 to income of Ps. 33.1 million in 4Q21. This generated an increase in the foreign exchange gain of Ps. 563.0 million. The currency translation effect income increased Ps. 698.3 million, compared to 4Q20.

  • Interest expenses increased by Ps. 65.4 million, or 16.2%, compared to 4Q20, mainly due to higher debt, as a result of the issuance of long-term debt securities.

  • Interest income increased by Ps. 40.9 million, or 60.5%, compared to 4Q20, mainly due to an increase in the reference interest rates.

In 4Q21, comprehensive income increased Ps. 2,265.2 million, or 736.5%, compared to 4Q20. This increase was mainly due to a Ps. 2,013.6 million increase in earnings before taxes derived from the significant increase in passenger traffic, as well as a Ps. 698.3 million increase in currency translation effect. This increase was partially offset by an increase in income taxes of Ps. 551.5 million.

During 4Q21, net income increased by Ps. 1,462.0 million, or 429.5%, compared to 4Q20. Income taxes increased by Ps. 773.4 million, partially offset by the benefit for deferred taxes by Ps. 221.8 million, mainly due to the application of Ps. 60.2 million in tax losses and an increase in the inflation rate, from 1.0% in 4Q20 to 2.4% in 4Q21.

  • Foreign exchange rate fluctuations went from an expense of Ps. 330.4 million during 2020 to income of      Ps. 238.3 million in 2021. This generated an increase in the foreign exchange gain of Ps. 568.8 million. Currency translation effect income decreased by Ps. 549.5 million as compared to 2020, due to the fact that the exchange rate as of December 31, 2020, was Ps. 19.9487 as compared to Ps. 20.5835 as of December 31, 2021, a depreciation of the peso of 3.2%.

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.
