ASUR Reports 2Q20 Financial Results

 

Passenger traffic continues to reflect travel disruptions worldwide since mid-March 2020

due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Mexico City, July 22, 2020 – Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V.  (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR) (ASUR), a leading international airport group with operations in Mexico, the U.S., and Colombia, today announced results for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2020.

2Q20 Highlights1

 

Total passenger traffic decreased 94.0% year over year (YoY), reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, primarily since the second half of March 2020 and resulting in the following declines across operations:

 

94.2% in Mexico, due to declines of 89.8% and 98.5% in domestic and international traffic, respectively

 

86.1% in Puerto Rico (Aerostar), down 84.6% in domestic traffic and 98.0% in international traffic

 

99.8% in Colombia (Airplan), with domestic and international traffic down 99.9% and 99.4%, respectively

Revenues declined 56.6% YoY to Ps.1,767.0

Consolidated commercial revenues per passenger reached Ps.353.2, reflecting the sharp decline in passenger traffic

Consolidated EBITDA declined 98.1% YoY to Ps.51.2 million. Excluding non-recurring insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Maria of Ps.35.2 million in 2Q20 and Ps.162.6 million in 2Q19, consolidated EBITDA would have declined 99.4% YoY to Ps.16.0 million

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (excludes the effect of IFRIC 12) and excluding the non-recurring insurance recoveries in both quarters would have declined to 1.8% from 65.4% in 2Q19.

Cash & cash equivalents at quarter-end of Ps.7,124.1 million and Net Debt-to-LTM EBITDA at 1.1x

Principal debt payments of Ps.388.3 million, or 2.5% of total debt, mature in 2H20 and 5.2% of total debt matures in 2021.

Business Update on COVID-19

 

Travel Restrictions Imposed by Governments to Mitigate the Impact of COVID-19

 

Since March 16, 2020, various governments have issued flight restrictions for different regions of the world to limit the breakout of the COVID-19 virus. With respect to the airports ASUR operates:

 

As announced on March 23, 2020, neither Mexico nor Puerto Rico have issued flight bans, to date.

 

In Puerto Rico, the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) has accepted a request from the Governor of Puerto Rico that all flights bound to Puerto Rico land at LMM Airport, which is operated by ASUR’s subsidiary Aerostar, and that all arriving passengers be screened by representatives of the Puerto Rico Health Department. On March 30, 2020, the Governor of Puerto Rico, through an executive order of indefinite term, imposed a two-week quarantine on all passengers arriving at the LMM Airport. Therefore, LMM Airport remains open and operating, albeit with substantially reduced flight and passenger volumes.

 

To further strengthen health controls on arrival, starting July 15, the Governor of Puerto Rico began implementing the following additional measures. All passengers must wear a mask, complete a mandatory flight declaration form from the Puerto Rico Health Department, and submit negative results of a PCR molecular COVID-19 test taken 72 hours prior to arrival to avoid having to undergo the two-week quarantine. Passengers can also opt to take the COVID-19 test in Puerto Rico (not necessarily at the airport), in order to be released from quarantine (estimated to take between 24-48 hours).

 

Mexico and/or the United States may issue flight restrictions similar to those issued in other parts of the world, which would cause a significant further reduction in ASUR’s operations.

 

In Colombia, all incoming international flights, including connecting flights in Colombia, were suspended by the Colombian government starting March 23, 2020. This suspension has been extended through August 31, 2020, with exceptions for humanitarian emergencies, transportation of cargo and goods, and fortuitous events or force majeure. Recently, the Colombian government announced that Colombia’s airports will reopen to international flights on September 1, 2020. Similarly, domestic air travel in Colombia was suspended starting March 25, 2020. Consequently, ASUR’s commercial aviation operations at the Enrique Olaya Herrera de Medellín, José María Córdova de Rionegro, Los Garzones de Montería, Antonio Roldán Betancourt de Carepa, El Caraño de Quibdó and Las Brujas de Corozal airports were suspended starting as of such dates.

 

The Colombian government allowed domestic flights to resume on July 1, 2020, starting with pilot tests for domestic routes between cities with low levels of contagion. The Colombian government has delegated to municipal administrations the power to request approval from the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Transport and Aerocivil (the aeronautical authority in Colombia) to resume domestic flights from or to their municipalities. As a result, both municipalities involved would be required to agree in order to restart such domestic flights. As of today, ASUR’s airports in Colombia have not yet resumed domestic flights.

 

 

Impact of COVID-19 on ASUR’s 2Q20 Passenger Traffic

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the travel industry and governments have introduced travel bans and restrictions. As a result, passenger traffic in ASUR’s three countries of operations began to decline in the second half of March 2020 and continued to decline sharply across ASUR’s airport network in the subsequent months, as shown in the table below:

Accounts Receivables

Starting in mid-March, some of the airlines and other clients and tenants that operate in ASUR’s airports have asked for assistance, either through discounts on payments owed to ASUR or by an extension on those payments. Three of ASUR’s principal airline customers, Aeromexico, Avianca Holdings and LATAM Airlines Group, have filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States, although they have continued making payments in the ordinary course, as permitted by the relevant courts. The Company remains in commercial discussions with those clients and tenants regarding their contracts. Notwithstanding these discussions, ASUR believes it has sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations and continue operating in the normal course.

Cost Reduction Initiatives

ASUR is introducing cost reduction initiatives across its three countries of operations. Most of the Company’s cost structure is fixed, except for concession fees across operations and the technical assistance fee in Mexico, which are all variable costs. The impact from these cost reduction measures is not expected to be significant vis a vis the potential decline in revenues resulting from the disruption in passenger traffic across the Company’s operations.

2Q20 Passenger Traffic

 

Total passenger traffic at ASUR in 2Q20 declined 94.0% YoY to 0.8 million passengers, reflecting the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on travel, starting mid-March 2020. By geography, traffic declined 94.2% in Mexico, 86.1% in Puerto Rico, and 99.8% in Colombia.

 

The 94.2% YoY decline in passenger traffic in Mexico reflects declines of 89.8% in domestic traffic and 98.5% in international traffic. All of ASUR’s Mexican airports remain open and operating. Terminals 2 and 3 at Cancún Airport closed temporarily on April 11 and 18, 2020, respectively, due to reduced demand, while Terminal 4 remained open. Terminal 2 reopened on July 14, 2020.

 

Traffic in Puerto Rico declined 86.1% YoY, reflecting decreases of 84.6% in domestic traffic and 98.0% in international traffic. In Puerto Rico, the FAA accepted a request from the Governor of Puerto Rico that all flights bound to Puerto Rico land at LMM Airport, operated by ASUR’s subsidiary Aerostar, and that all passengers be screened by representatives of the Puerto Rico Health Department.  As a result, LMM airport remains open and

operating, albeit with substantially reduced flight and passenger volumes. Due to governmental restrictions, only essential commercial spaces are open.

 

Colombia reported a 99.8% YoY decline in total traffic, driven by declines of 99.9% and 99.4% in domestic and international traffic, respectively. In response to COVID-19, the Colombian government suspended commercial aviation at all airports in the country starting on March 25 and recently extended the suspension of international operations until September 1, 2020. As a result, ASUR’s commercial operations at Enrique Olaya Herrera Airport in Medellín, José María Córdova International Airport in Rionegro, Los Garzones Airport in Montería, Antonio Roldán Betancourt Airport in Carepa, El Caraño Airport in Quibdó and Las Brujas Airport in Corozal have been suspended.  

 

Starting July 1, 2020, the Colombian government established a pilot program for domestic routes for cities with low levels of contagion. The government also delegated to municipal administrations the power to request approval to resume domestic flights, with both municipalities involved required to agree in order to restart such flights. As of today, ASUR’s airports in Colombia have not yet resumed domestic flights.

Consolidated Revenues

 

Consolidated Revenues for 2Q20 declined 56.6% YoY, or Ps.2,302.4 million, to Ps.1,767.0 million, mainly driven by the following declines:

 

75.3% in revenues from non-aeronautical services to Ps.375.6 million. The contribution from Mexico was Ps.225.5 million, while Puerto Rico and Colombia accounted for Ps.111.3 million and Ps.38.8 million, respectively; and

78.0% in revenues from aeronautical services to Ps.533.8 million. Operations in Mexico contributed Ps.81.4 million, while Puerto Rico and Colombia contributed Ps.440.4 million and Ps.12.0 million, respectively.

 

These declines were partially offset by a 603.7%, or Ps.735.8 million, increase in construction services revenues to Ps.857.6 million. This increase was mainly due to the execution of construction works at Cancun and Merida airports, in line with the Master Development Plan in Mexico, as well as runway refurbishments in Puerto Rico.

 

Excluding revenues from construction services, which are deducted as costs under IFRS accounting standards, total revenues would have declined 77.0% YoY to Ps.909.4 million. Excluding revenues from construction services, Mexico accounted for 33.8% of total revenues, while Puerto Rico and Colombia represented 60.7% and 5.5%, respectively.

 

Commercial Revenues in 2Q20 declined 78.5% YoY to Ps.302.7 million, mainly reflecting the 94.0% decline in passenger traffic. Commercial revenues in Mexico decreased 84.8% YoY to Ps.154.1 million. In addition, commercial revenues in Puerto Rico declined 60.3% YoY to Ps.109.8 million and in Colombia by 67.4% to Ps.38.8 million.

ASUR 2Q20 Page 6 of 28

 

 

 


 

 

Commercial Revenues per Passenger reached Ps.353.2 in 2Q20, compared to Ps.99.7 in 2Q19, mainly reflecting the 94.0% decline in passenger traffic.

 

Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses

 

Consolidated Operating Costs and Expenses, including construction costs, during 2Q20 increased 14.4% YoY, or Ps.285.9 million, to Ps.2,270.0 million.

 

Excluding construction costs, operating costs and expenses declined 24.2% YoY, or Ps.449.9 million, mainly due to the following variations:

 

Mexico: declined 33.9%, or Ps.323.4 million, mainly due to lower energy and maintenance expenses as a result of the temporary closure of Terminals 2 and 3 at Cancun Airport. The decline also reflects lower cost of sales from directly operated stores, as well as lower technical assistance and concession fees, partially offset by higher provisions for doubtful collectible accounts as a result of the COVID-19.

 

Puerto Rico: increased 5.6%, or Ps.29.7 million, principally due to a Ps.37.2 million increase in amortization charges resulting from the FX conversion impact as the average Mexican peso exchange rate fluctuated to Ps.23.3 per dollar in 2Q20, compared to Ps.19.1 per dollar in 2Q19, partially offset by lower cost of services and concession fees.  

 

Colombia: declined 41.3%, or Ps.156.1 million, mainly due to a 32.7%, or Ps.42.3 million, reduction in cost of services, reflecting savings in maintenance, energy and security expenses, as well as lower professional fees as a result of COVID-19.

 

Cost of Services declined 16.1%, or Ps.153.0 million, principally due to a 21.9%, or Ps.108.3 million, YoY decline in Mexico, mainly from lower energy and maintenance costs resulting from the temporary closure of Terminals 2 and 3 at Cancun Airport. The decline also reflects lower cost of sales from directly operated stores, partially offset by higher provisions for doubtful collectible accounts as a result of COVID-19. In addition, Colombia contributed with a 32.7% YoY, or Ps.42.3 million, decline in cost of services.

 

Construction Costs increased 603.7% YoY, or Ps.735.8 million. This was mainly driven by YoY increases of 1,748.2%, or Ps.696.0 million, in Mexico and 169.1%, or Ps.75.8 million in Puerto Rico, partially offset by a decline of 96.7%, or Ps.36.0 million, in Colombia.

 

G&A Expenses, which reflect administrative expenses in Mexico, declined 10.0% YoY.

 

Consolidated Technical Assistance declined YoY, mainly reflecting negative EBITDA in Mexico in 2Q20.

 

Concession Fees declined 77.9% YoY, principally reflecting decreases of 87.1% in Mexico, 89.6% in Colombia and 14.9% in Puerto Rico, mainly due to a decline in regulated revenues, a factor in the calculation of the fee.

 

Depreciation and Amortization increased 3.1%, or Ps.15.4 million, principally due to an increase of 22.2%, or Ps.37.2 million, in Puerto Rico. The FX translation impact contributed to the increase, as the average exchange rate in 2Q20 was Ps.23.3 per dollar, compared to an average of Ps.19.1 per dollar in 2Q19.

 

 

Consolidated Operating Profit (Loss) and EBITDA

 

ASUR reported a Consolidated Operating Loss of Ps.461.8 million in 2Q20 resulting in a negative Operating Margin of 26.1%, mainly reflecting the impact of COVID-19. This compares with an Operating Profit of Ps.2,247.9 million and a margin of 55.2% in 2Q19.

 

Adjusted Operating Margin, which excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction of or improvements to concessioned assets in Mexico, Colombia, and Puerto Rico, and which is calculated as operating profit divided by total revenues less construction services revenues, was negative 50.8% in 2Q20 compared with 56.9% in 2Q19.

 

EBITDA declined 98.1%, or Ps.2,693.9 million, to Ps.51.2 million in 2Q20, compared with Ps.2,745.0 million in 2Q19. By country, EBITDA decreased by Ps.2,095.0 million to negative Ps.140.1 million in Mexico, decreased by Ps.303.7 million to Ps.238.3 million in Puerto Rico, and was down by Ps.295.2 million to negative Ps.47.1

million in Colombia. Consolidated EBITDA margin in 2Q20 was 2.9% compared with 67.5% in 2Q19. Excluding non-recurring insurance recoveries related to Hurricane Maria of Ps.35.2 million in 2Q20 and Ps.162.6 million in 2Q19, consolidated EBITDA would have declined 99.4% YoY to Ps.16.0 million

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction of or improvements to concessioned assets in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia, was 5.6% in 2Q20 compared to 69.5% in 2Q19. Excluding the abovementioned non-recurring insurance recoveries in both quarters, Adjusted EBITDA Margin would have declined to 1.8% from 65.4% in 2Q19.

In 2Q20 ASUR reported a Ps.180.5 million Consolidated Comprehensive Financing Loss, compared to a Ps.177.6 million loss in 2Q19.

 

In 2Q20, ASUR reported a foreign exchange loss of Ps.2.3 million, resulting from the 0.6% quarterly average appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar (1.7% quarter-end appreciation) during 2Q20 together with a higher U.S. dollar foreign currency net asset position. This compares to an Ps.8.3 million foreign exchange gain in 2Q19 resulting from the 1.3% quarterly average appreciation of the Mexican peso (0.9% quarter-end appreciation) during 2Q19 on a lower foreign currency net asset position.

 

Interest expense declined Ps.11.9 million, or 4.3% YoY, mainly driven by a decrease of Ps.25.5 million, or 25.0%, in interest expense in Mexico reflecting a decline in the TIIE interest rate. Colombia reported an Ps.8.1 million, or 12.8%, YoY decline in interest payments, reflecting principal loan payments totaling Ps.90.2 million in 2019 and 2020. The interest expense decline was partially offset by a Ps.11.1 million, or 8.9% YoY, increase in Puerto Rico reflecting the impact of FX translation. Interest income declined by Ps.4.2 million, or 4.8% YoY.

 

Income Taxes

 

Income Taxes for 2Q20 declined Ps.623.7 million YoY, principally due to the combination of the following factors:

 

A Ps.678.8 million YoY decline in income taxes, reflecting mainly a lower taxable income base in Mexico and Colombia reflecting the negative impact of COVID-19 on revenues.

 

A Ps.55.2 million YoY increase in deferred income taxes. This mainly reflects a Ps.70.5 million increase in deferred income taxes in Mexico reflecting a lower tax benefit from the impact of inflation (deflation of 0.4% in 2Q20 and 0.2% in 2Q19), as well as a lower technical assistance fee.  This was partially offset by a Ps.17.4 million tax benefit in Colombia.

 

 

Majority Net Income (Loss)

 

During 2Q20, ASUR reported a Majority Net Loss of Ps.520.3 million in 2Q20, compared to a Majority Net Income of Ps.1,426.7 million in 2Q19. This resulted in a loss per common share in 2Q20 of Ps.1.7343, or a loss per ADS of US$0.7511 (one ADS represents ten series B common shares). This compares with earnings per share of Ps.4.7558 and earnings per ADS of US$2.0597 for the same period last year.

 

 

Net Income (Loss)

 

ASUR reported a Net Loss of Ps.565.5 million in 2Q20, compared to Net Income of Ps.1,523.5 million in 2Q19, representing a YoY decline of 137.1%, or Ps.2,089.0 million.

Consolidated Financial Position

 

On June 30, 2020, airport concessions represented 84.9% of the Company’s total assets, with current assets representing 13.8% and other assets representing 1.3%.

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of Ps.7,124.1 million, a 15.0% increase from Ps.6,192.7 million at December 31, 2019. Mexico contributed Ps.651.0 million to the increase in cash and cash equivalents, while Puerto Rico and Colombia contributed Ps.329.1 million and Ps.48.7 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020, the valuation of ASUR’s investment in Aerostar, in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", resulted in the following effects on the balance sheet: i) the recognition of a net intangible asset of Ps.6,877.9 million, ii) goodwill of Ps.887.2 million (net of an impairment of Ps.4,719.1 million), iii) deferred taxes of Ps.687.8 million, and iv) a minority interest of Ps.5,677.3 million within stockholders' equity.

Furthermore, the valuation of ASUR’s investment in Airplan, in accordance with IFRS 3 “Business Combinations”, resulted in the following effects on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2020: i) the recognition of a net intangible asset of Ps.1,475.7 million, ii) goodwill of Ps.1,504.9, iii) deferred taxes of Ps.228.4 million, and iv) Ps.714.5 million from the recognition of bank loans at fair value.

Total Debt at quarter-end increased 13.3% to Ps.15,537.8 from Ps.13,712.9 million on December 31, 2019, mainly reflecting the depreciation of the peso against the US dollar and a drawdown of US$10.0 million from the working capital line of credit in Puerto Rico. On June 30, 2020, 25.7% of ASUR’s total debt was denominated in Mexican pesos, 54.3% in U.S. Dollars (at Aerostar in Puerto Rico) and 20.0% in Colombian pesos.

 

Principal payments of Ps.388.3 million, or 2.5% of Total Debt, matures in 2H20, with 5.2% of Total Debt maturing in 2021.

 

Net Debt-to-LTM EBITDA stood at 1.1x at the close of 2Q20, while the Interest Coverage ratio was 6.2x. This compares with Net Debt-to-LTM EBITDA of 0.9x and an Interest Coverage Ratio of 9.6x at June 30, 2019.

Mexico Revenues

 

Mexico Revenues for 2Q20 declined 62.5% YoY to Ps.1,042.8 million.

 

Excluding construction, revenues declined 88.8% YoY, reflecting reductions of 95.0% in revenues from aeronautical services and 79.9% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally due to the 94.1% decline in passenger traffic attributable to COVID-19.

 

Commercial Revenues declined 84.8% YoY, principally reflecting the 94.1% contraction in passenger traffic, as shown in Table 8. As a result, Commercial Revenues per Passenger for 2Q20 were Ps.300.5 compared to Ps.115.4 in 2Q19.

 

ASUR classifies commercial revenues as those derived from the following activities: duty-free stores, car rentals, retail operations, banking and currency exchange services, advertising, teleservices, non-permanent ground transportation, food and beverage operations, parking lot fees, and other.

 

As shown in Table 9, during the last 12 months, ASUR opened a total of 3 new commercial spaces, of which two are located at Cancun Airport and one at Oaxaca Airport. More details of these openings can be found on page 23 of this report.

Total Mexico Operating Costs and Expenses for 2Q20 increased 37.5% YoY, principally reflecting higher construction costs in the quarter, which rose to Ps.735.8 million from Ps.39.8 million in 2Q19 due to increased levels of capital improvements made to concessioned assets during the period.

 

Excluding construction costs, operating costs and expenses declined 33.9% to Ps.631.4 million, reflecting lower energy and maintenance expenses as a result of the temporary closing of Terminals 2 and 3 at Cancun Airport, together with lower cost of sales at the stores operated directly by ASUR. Lower technical assistance and concession fees also contributed to this decline. These reductions more than offset higher provisions for uncollectible accounts as a result of COVID-19.

 

Cost of Services declined 21.9% YoY, mainly reflecting declines in energy and maintenance expenses reflecting the temporary closure of Terminals 2 and 3 at Cancun Airport, together with lower cost of sales at stores operated directly by ASUR. This was partially offset by a higher provision for uncollectible accounts reflecting the impact of COVID-19.

 

Administrative Expenses declined 10.1% YoY.

 

The decline in the Technical Assistance fee paid to ITA reflects lower EBITDA in Mexico, excluding extraordinary items, a factor in the calculation of the fee.

 

Concession Fees, which include fees paid to the Mexican government, declined 87.1%, mainly as a result of the reduction in regulated revenues, a factor in the calculation of the concession fee.

 

Depreciation and Amortization increased 6.0% YoY, reflecting higher investments to date as well as the impact from the recognition of lease accounting, per IFRS 16.

ASUR’s Mexico operations reported a Ps.3.0 million Comprehensive Financing Gain in 2Q20, compared to a Ps.2.4 million Comprehensive Financing Gain in 2Q19. This was mainly due to a 25.0% YoY, or Ps.25.5 million, decline in interest expenses reflecting the decline in the TIIE interest rate, which more than offset the 14.8% reduction in interest income.

 

In addition, in 2Q20 the Company reported a Ps.2.4 million foreign exchange loss, resulting from the 0.6% average quarterly appreciation of the Mexican peso (1.7% at quarter-end) during 2Q20 against the U.S. dollar on a higher foreign currency net asset position. This compares with an Ps.8.3 million foreign exchange gain in 2Q19, resulting from the 1.3% average quarterly appreciation of the Mexican peso during that period (0.9% at quarter-end) in the quarter and a lower foreign currency net asset position.

1 Adjusted Operating Margin excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets, and is equal to operating profit divided by total revenues less construction services revenues.

2 This result includes gains from the participation in Aerostar of Ps.109.1 million and Ps.268.5 million in 2Q20 and 2Q19, respectively. Airplan in Colombia contributed with gains of Ps.61.1 million and Ps.89.1 million in 2Q20 and 2Q19, respectively.

3 Adjusted EBITDA Margin excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets, and is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenues less construction services revenues.

 

Mexico reported an Operating Loss of Ps.324.5 million in 2Q20, resulting in a negative Operating Margin of 31.1%. This compares with an Operating Profit of Ps.1,783.0 million and Operating Margin of 64.2% in 2Q19.

 

Adjusted Operating Margin in 2Q20, which excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction of or improvements to concessioned assets and which is calculated as operating profit divided by total revenues excluding construction services revenues, was negative 105.7%, compared to 65.1% in 2Q19.

 

EBITDA declined by Ps.2,095.0 million, to negative Ps.140.1 million in 2Q20 from Ps.1,954.9 million in 2Q19, resulting in a negative EBITDA Margin of 13.4% in 2Q20, compared with 70.4% in 2Q19.

 

During 2Q20, ASUR’s operations in Mexico recognized Ps.735.8 million in “Construction Revenues,” compared with Ps.39.8 million in 2Q19, reflecting higher capital expenditures and investments in concessioned assets.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin in 2Q20, which excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction of or improvements to concessioned assets, was negative 45.6% in 2Q20 compared with 71.4% in 2Q19.

 

Mexico Tariff Regulation

 

The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation regulates the majority of ASUR’s activities by setting maximum rates, which represent the maximum possible revenues allowed per traffic unit at each airport.

 

ASUR’s accumulated regulated revenues at its Mexican operations, as of June 30, 2020, totaled Ps.85.1 million, with an average tariff per workload unit of Ps.191.8 (December 2018 pesos), accounting for approximately 56.7% of total Mexico income (excluding construction income) for the period.

 

The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation reviews compliance with maximum rate regulations at the close of each year.

 

Mexico Capital Expenditures

 

During 2Q20, ASUR’s operations in Mexico made capital investments of Ps.474.7 million in connection with the Company’s plan to modernize its Mexican airports pursuant to its master development plans. This compares with capex of Ps.53.8 million in 2Q19.

 

Accumulated capital expenditures in the first six months of 2020 amounted to Ps.713.5 million, compared with Ps.202.8 million during the same period in 2019.

Puerto Rico Revenues

 

Total Puerto Rico Revenues for 2Q20 declined 14.3% YoY to Ps.672.3 million. Excluding construction services, revenues declined 25.4%, mainly due to the following YoY decreases:

 

 

4.3% in revenues from aeronautical services; and

 

60.2% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally due to the 86.1% decline in passenger traffic.

By contrast, construction services revenues increased 169.1% YoY reflecting higher capital investments in 2Q20.

 

Commercial Revenues per Passenger reached Ps.327.1 in 2Q20, compared with Ps.114.4 in 2Q19, mainly reflecting the 86.1% decline in passenger traffic.

 

Nine commercial spaces were opened at LMM Airport over the last 12 months, as shown in Table 15. More details of these openings can be found on page 23 of this report.

 

ASUR classifies commercial revenues as those derived from the following activities: duty-free stores, car rentals, retail operations, advertising, non-permanent ground transportation, food and beverage operations, parking lot fees, banking and currency exchange services, and other.

Excluding construction costs, operating costs and expenses increased 5.6% YoY to Ps.559.3 million, mainly due to higher depreciation and amortization expenses, reflecting the FX conversion impact as the average Mexican peso exchange rate fluctuated to Ps.23.3 per dollar in 2Q20, compared to Ps.19.1 per dollar in 2Q19.

 

Cost of Services declined 0.7% YoY, or Ps.2.3 million.

 

Concession Fees paid to the Puerto Rican government declined Ps.14.9 million YoY, in line with the concession agreement.

 

Depreciation and Amortization increased 22.2% YoY, or Ps.37.2 million, mainly reflecting the FX translation impact resulting from the average depreciation of the Mexican peso against the average US dollar as described above.

During 2Q20, LMM Airport reported a Ps.135.2 million Comprehensive Financing Loss, compared with a Ps.121.4 million loss in 2Q19, mainly reflecting the FX conversion impact in connection with the depreciation of the Mexican peso against the US dollar.

 

On February 22, 2013, and as part of the financing of its concession agreement, Aerostar entered into a subordinated term loan with Cancun Airport in the amount of US$100.0 million at an annual interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.1%, payable each July 1 and January 1, and with no fixed maturity date. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining balance was US$20.1 million, including capitalized interest.

 

On March 22, 2013, Aerostar carried out a private bond placement for a total of US$350.0 million to finance a portion of the Concession Agreement payment to the Puerto Rico Ports Authority and certain other costs and expenditures associated with it.

 

On June 24, 2015, Aerostar carried out a private bond placement for a total of US$50.0 million. In December 2015, Aerostar also contracted a line of revolving credit. On April 1, 2020, Aerostar drew down US$10.0 million from this line of revolving credit for working capital purposes.

 

All long-term debt is collateralized by Aerostar’s total assets.

1 Adjusted Operating Margin excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets, and is equal to operating profit divided by total revenues less construction services revenues.

2 Adjusted EBITDA Margin excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets, and is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenues less construction services revenues.

 

Operating Profit at Puerto Rico in 2Q20 declined to Ps.91.0 million, with an Operating Margin of 5.0%. This compares with 47.5% in 2Q19. This was mainly due to the 60.2% decline in non-aeronautical revenues resulting from the sharp contraction in passenger traffic from the impact of COVID-19.

 

During 2Q20 and 2Q19, results benefited from insurance recoveries in connection with Hurricane Maria of Ps.35.2 million and Ps.162.6 million, respectively. Excluding the non-recurring insurance recoveries described above, Operating Margin would have been 30.2% in 2Q20 and 48.4% in 2Q19.

 

EBITDA declined 56.0% to Ps.238.3 million from Ps.542.0 million in 2Q19. EBITDA Margin declined to 35.4% from 69.1% in 2Q19, while the Adjusted EBITDA Margin (which excludes IFRIC 12) declined to 43.2% in 2Q20 from 73.3% in 2Q19. Excluding the non-recurring insurance recoveries described above, Adjusted EBITDA margin would have been 36.8% in 2Q20, compared with 51.3% in 2Q19.

Puerto Rico Capital Expenditures

During 2Q20, Aerostar invested Ps.137.7 million to modernize LMM Airport, compared with investments of Ps.57.7 million in 2Q19. Accumulated investments in the first six months of 2020 amounted to Ps.251.5 million compared to Ps.179.0 million in the year-ago period.

Puerto Rico Tariff Regulation

 

The Airport Use Agreement signed by Aerostar, the airlines serving LMM Airport, and the Puerto Rico Ports Authority govern the relationship between Aerostar and the principal airlines serving LMM Airport. The agreement entitles Aerostar to an annual contribution from the airlines of US$62.0 million during the first five years of the term. From year six onwards, the total annual contribution for the prior year increases in accordance with an adjusted consumer price index factor based on the U.S. non-core consumer price index. The annual fee is divided between the airlines that operate at LMM Airport in accordance with the regulations and structure defined under the Airport Use Agreement to establish the contribution of each airline for each particular year.

 

Review of Colombia Operations

 

The following discussion compares Airplan's independent results for the three-and six-month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2020.

 

The valuation of ASUR’s investment in Airplan, in accordance with IFRS 3 "Business Combinations", resulted in the following effects on the balance sheet as of June 30, 2020: i) the recognition of a net intangible asset of Ps.1,475.7 million, ii) goodwill of Ps.1,504.9, iii) deferred taxes of Ps.228.4 million, and iv) Ps.714.5 million from the recognition of bank loans at fair value.

Colombia Revenues

Total Colombia Revenues for 2Q20 declined 89.8% YoY to Ps.52.0 million. Excluding construction services, revenues decreased 89.2%, reflecting declines of 67.9% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally due to the 67.4% drop in commercial revenues and the 96.6% decline in revenues from aeronautical services, both reflecting the 99.7% decline in passenger traffic due to COVID-19.

 

Commercial Revenues per Passenger was Ps.4,630.6 compared with Ps.40.6 in 2Q19, mainly reflecting decreases in passenger traffic and commercial revenues as discussed above.

 

As shown in Table 21, during the last twelve months, 48 new commercial spaces were opened in Colombia. More details of these openings can be found on pages 23 and 24 of this report.

 

ASUR classifies commercial revenues as those derived from the following activities: duty-free stores, car rentals, retail operations, advertising, non-permanent ground transportation, food and beverage operations, parking lot fees, teleservices, banking and currency exchange services, and other.

1 Adjusted Operating Margin excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets, and is equal to operating profit divided by total revenues less construction services revenues.

2 Adjusted EBITDA Margin excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets, and is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenues less construction services revenues.

 

ASUR’s operations in Colombia reported an Operating Loss of Ps.170.9 million in 2Q20 resulting from the impact of COVID-19, compared with Operating Profit of Ps.92.3 million in 2Q19. The Operating Margin was negative 328.9% in 2Q20 compared to 18.2% in 2Q19. The Adjusted Operating Margin, which excludes the impact of IFRIC 12 with respect to construction of or improvements to concessioned assets, was negative 336.9% in 2Q20 compared to 19.6% in 2Q19.

 

During 2Q20, EBITDA was negative Ps.47.1 million with EBITDA Margin of negative 90.6%. This compares with EBITDA of Ps.248.1 million in 2Q19 and EBITDA Margin of 48.9% in 2Q19. The Adjusted EBITDA Margin, which excludes the impact of IFRIC 12 with respect to construction or improvements to concessioned assets, was negative 92.8% in 2Q20, reflecting the negative impact on revenues from COVID-19. This compares to an Adjusted EBITDA Margin of 52.9% in 2Q19.

Colombia Capital Expenditures

During 2Q20, Airplan made capital expenditures of Ps.1.2 million, compared to Ps.59.3 million in 2Q19. Accumulated capex for the first six months of 2020 was Ps.2.4 million, compared to Ps.59.3 million in the same period of 2019.

Colombia Tariff Regulation

 

Functions of the Special Administrative Unit of Civil Aeronautics include establishing and collecting fees, tariffs, and rights for the provision of aeronautical and airport services or those that are generated by the concessions, authorizations, licenses, or any other type of income or property. As a result, Resolution 04530, issued on September 21, 2007, establishes tariffs for the rights and the rates conceded to the concessionaire of the following airports: José María Córdova of Rionegro, Enrique Olaya Herrera of Medellín, Los Garzones of Montería, El Caraño of Quibdó, Antonio Roldán Betancourt of Carepa, and Las Brujas of Corozal. This resolution also established the methodology to update and the mechanisms to collect such fees, tariffs, and rights. Airplan's regulated revenues for 2Q20 amounted to Ps.12.0 million.

 

 

Definitions

 

Concession Services Agreements (IFRIC 12 interpretation). In Mexico and Puerto Rico, ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line, “Construction Revenues,” reflecting the revenue

ASUR 2Q20 Page 19 of 28

 

 

 


 

from construction or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line “Construction Costs” because ASUR hires third parties to provide construction services. Because equal amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the amount of Construction Revenues does not have an impact on EBITDA, but it does have an impact on EBITDA Margin. In Colombia, “Construction Revenues” include the recognition of the revenue to which the concessionaire is entitled for carrying out the infrastructure works in the development of the concession, while “Construction Costs” represents the actual costs incurred in the execution of such additions or improvements to the concessioned assets.  

 

Majority Net Income reflects ASUR’s equity interests in each of its subsidiaries and therefore excludes the 40% interest in Aerostar that is owned by other shareholders. Other than Aerostar, ASUR owns (directly or indirectly) 100% of its subsidiaries.

 

EBITDA means net income before provision for taxes, deferred taxes, profit sharing, non-ordinary items, participation in the results of associates, comprehensive financing cost, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity. Our management believes that EBITDA provides a useful measure that is widely used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance and compare it with other companies. EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.

 

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenues excluding construction services revenues for Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia and excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned assets. ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line reflecting the revenue from construction or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line “Construction Costs” because ASUR hires third parties to provide construction services. In Mexico and Puerto Rico, because equal amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the amount of Construction Revenues does not have an impact on EBITDA, but it does have an impact on EBITDA Margin, as the increase in revenues that relates to Construction Revenues does not result in a corresponding increase in EBITDA. In Colombia, construction revenues do have an impact on EBITDA, as construction revenues include a reasonable margin over the actual cost of construction. Like EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity and is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.
