Q: Rodolfo Ramos (Bradesco BBI) asked about the traffic outlook for the winter season and next year, and what is driving the decline at Cancun, including airline capacity decisions related to Tulum.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said airline schedules for the winter season show only December with more seat capacity than a year ago, which he called "not encouraging." He cited reduced airline capacity, airlines shifting to better-yield markets, the Spirit Airlines bankruptcy, and weakness in Europe and South America, with Canada the only positive region at 5.7% growth. He noted airlines may still adjust programs, but management is cautious on the pace of recovery. Q: Rodolfo Ramos (Bradesco BBI) asked about the near-doubling of consolidated administrative expenses and which costs in the quarter were nonrecurring, including CPC and the internalization, and what the run rate would be going forward.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said the quarter included one-time events related to the CPC acquisitions, the internalization of the technical assistance project, and bond-related costs that will not recur. He cautioned that next year Mexico will face additional costs from the government-mandated reduction in working hours from 40 to 38 per week, plus the new Terminal 1 operation, and that management is taking steps to control costs. Q: Guilherme Mendes (JPMorgan) asked whether ASUR is interested in Brasilia airport and regional airports in Brazil, and whether it would consider further portfolio expansion.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said that for the moment the company is focused on consolidating what it recently acquired the US commercial operations and the 20 additional airports from CPC. Q: Guilherme Mendes (JPMorgan) followed up on how ASUR thinks about leverage going forward and what pace of leverage to expect as it consolidates the operations.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said the main priority is CapEx of MXN11 billion for next year, which should be funded by cash flow generation in each region, so the company does not expect any more leverage next year. Q: Fernanda Recchia (BTG Pactual) asked whether the 47% EBITDA margin posted by the Motiva airports in September was specific to the month or the recurring level, given historical margins of around 50%.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said operations just started in September with a 47% EBITDA margin and he believes the company can do better in the future, though he cannot be sure about the 50% level; he said there are clear opportunities. Q: Fernanda Recchia (BTG Pactual) asked about the timing of the tag-alongs involving Infraero and Zurich at Confins Airport and Zurich in Curacao, and whether they will be exercised.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas confirmed the tag-alongs were included in the CPC transaction scheme and the company is in the process, awaiting approvals and final answers from Infraero. He specified Infraero's 49% at Confins and Zurich's 12.5% at Confins and 10.2% in Curacao, to reach 90% there. Q: Pablo Ricalde (Itau BBA) asked for an update on the internalization process, whether it is fair to assume it happens as of January 1, 2027, and whether synergies are quantified as a full impact on margins.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said the process has started and will take time, requiring approvals from Mexican tax authorities and others. He sees an opportunity given the MXN401 million technical assistance fee paid in 2025, which the company will not spend in the future, implying some EBITDA increase. Q: Jens Spiess (Morgan Stanley) asked how the cost reduction from internalization will be treated in the reference value model during the next MDP cycle and whether it will impact the reference value calculation.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said the new regulated regime published on October 19, 2023 recognizes all company expenses, so reducing expenses would impact future tariffs or future results from the update of the new MDP. He confirmed it would result in a lower cost in that calculation. Q: Alan Macias (Bank of America) asked for guidance on long-term margins for the US operations.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said the reported 11% margin will increase, noting the new Terminal 1 delayed since June last year to the end of the first quarter next year is still pending to start operations. He added the company is currently spending money at Chicago O'Hare on an important new space without receiving revenue yet. Q: Anton Mortenkotter (GBM) asked about the new Brazil region director, Jose Formoso, what capabilities he brings, and which metrics will matter most in measuring integration success.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said the first objective of the CPC acquisition was to use the balance sheet and correct the company's too-healthy equity structure, raising leverage from 0.2 to 2.6 times net EBITDA. Going forward, focus will be on commercial revenues and operational efficiencies at airports outside Brazil. He praised Formoso's concession management experience, more than 20 years in Brazil with a successful track record, and understanding of how Mexicans think. Q: Fernanda Recchia (BTG Pactual) asked about local news that incentives for airlines operating at Tulum might be postponed and whether ASUR believes this will happen.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said Tulum started operations in December 2023 with 40,000 passengers, reached 1.2 million in 2024 and 1.5 million in the last 12 months through June-July 2025. He expects about 700,000 passengers this year, citing airline capacity reductions affecting Cancun as well as decisions by Aeromexico and Volaris in the domestic market, and expects 700,000 to 800,000 passengers next year. Q: Alberto Valerio (UBS) asked whether there are regulatory CapEx commitments for the newly acquired Brazilian and Central American airports, and whether the amount beyond next year is large or small.A: CEO Adolfo Castro Rivas said next year's CapEx in Brazil is mostly regulatory, with some additional projects that are For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Castro cited airline capacity constraints, higher jet fuel prices and the impact of Spirit Airlines' bankruptcy as factors affecting demand, particularly for international travel. Passenger volumes to and from the U.S., Europe and South America declined 14.9%, 14.4% and 7.9%, respectively, while Canadian traffic increased 5.7%. Puerto Rico traffic declined slightly more than 3%, also reflecting Spirit's bankruptcy and softer domestic and international demand. However, Castro said September traffic in Puerto Rico rose just over 3% after declines in July and August. → Tech Stocks Took a Hit—These 2 Pharma Stocks Are Near New Highs Colombia remained the strongest-performing region, with traffic rising just over 5% on growth in both domestic and international travel. Brazil and Others posted growth of just over 1% for September, as low-single-digit gains in Brazil and Ecuador more than offset declines in Costa Rica and Curaçao. Looking ahead, Castro said ASUR remains cautious on the outlook for Mexico's international market. Based on airline schedules, only December has more planned seat capacity than the prior year during the winter season, he said. Airlines could still adjust their schedules, but the current outlook is "not encouraging" for the broader winter period. Revenue excluding construction revenue increased nearly 13% to 7.8 billion Mexican pesos. Non-aeronautical revenue rose just under 27%, aided by 456 million pesos from U.S. commercial operations, 362 million pesos from Brazil and Others for the month of September, and 16% growth in Colombia. Aeronautical revenue increased 5% to 4.8 billion pesos, including a 315 million-peso contribution from Brazil and Others. Higher passenger traffic supported aeronautical revenue in Colombia, while Puerto Rico benefited primarily from exchange-rate effects. Those gains were partly offset by lower traffic in Mexico. Commercial revenue per passenger increased 3.5% to 130.5 pesos, chiefly reflecting the U.S. commercial business. Puerto Rico generated the highest commercial revenue per passenger at 163.3 pesos, up 2%, followed by Mexico at 129 pesos. Mexico's figure declined 10% year over year, which the company attributed largely to traffic weakness and passenger mix. ASUR opened 39 commercial spaces over the past 12 months: 31 in Colombia, seven in Puerto Rico and one in Mexico. Consolidated EBITDA rose 1.7% to 4.7 billion pesos. Brazil and Others contributed 313 million pesos of EBITDA in September, while U.S. commercial operations added 49 million pesos. EBITDA gains in Puerto Rico and Colombia offset a 10% decline in Mexico. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 7.4 percentage points to 60.3%. Brazil and Others reported a 46.3% adjusted EBITDA margin for September, while the U.S. commercial business posted a margin near 11%. Castro said the U.S. business has a different cost structure, including lease obligations to airport authorities, and is still incurring expenses for commercial projects that are not yet generating revenue. ASUR is working to integrate the CPC airports but does not expect significant operating synergies. Management said it sees opportunities to improve commercial revenues and operating efficiencies, including at airports outside Brazil. Castro said newly appointed Brazil-region leader José Formoso brings experience managing concessions and more than two decades of experience in Brazil. The company is also moving to bring in-house the technical assistance and technology-transfer services currently provided by ITA. Shareholders approved the move on Aug. 20, although management said the process will require regulatory and tax approvals. Castro said ASUR expects an EBITDA benefit because it will eliminate the external technical-assistance fee, which totaled about 401 million pesos in 2025, although the company will assume the costs of providing the services internally. ASUR ended the quarter with 20 billion pesos in cash and cash equivalents and nearly 70 billion pesos in total debt. Net debt to last-12-month EBITDA was 2.6 times, up from 0.2 times, reflecting the acquisitions and associated financing. During the quarter, Cancún Airport issued $1.8 billion in senior notes split between $900 million due in 2031 and $900 million due in 2036. The company used proceeds to repay acquisition bridge facilities, repay the remaining Santander loan and partially prepay a BBVA loan. Castro said the refinancing extended average debt maturities by seven years. Capital expenditures totaled 2.7 billion pesos during the quarter. For next year, ASUR expects total capital spending of about 11 billion pesos, including nearly 6 billion pesos in Mexico, 1.8 billion pesos in Costa Rica, 1.7 billion pesos in Puerto Rico and 1.5 billion pesos in Brazil. Management said it expects all regional operations except Puerto Rico to fund their planned investments through operating cash flow and does not expect additional leverage next year. Key projects include the expansion of Cancún's Terminal 4, a second runway at Curitiba expected to be completed in 2029, runway refurbishments at several Brazilian airports, and the first phase of terminal expansion at San José Airport in Costa Rica. ASUR also expects to pay two extraordinary dividends of 10 pesos each on Nov. 30 and Dec. 23. Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, SAB. de C.V.

FY2026 Q3 earnings call transcript
Good day, ladies and gentlemen, and Welcome to ASUR's third quarter 2026 results conference call. My name is Melissa, and I'll be your operator. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. We will conduct a question and answer session toward the end of today's conference. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one. If you would like to withdraw your question at any time, please press star two. If you're using a speakerphone, please lift the handset before making a selection. As a reminder, today's call is being recorded. I'd now like to turn the call over to Mr. David Barlow, Corporate Governance Strategic Planning Manager and Investor Relations Officer at ASUR. Please go ahead, sir.
Thank you, Melissa. Thank you everyone for joining us today to discuss ASUR results for the third quarter 2026. With me on today's call is Adolfo Castro, Chief Executive Officer. Additional details about our results can be found in our press release, which was issued yesterday after market close, and is available on our website. As usual, all comparisons discussed on this call will be year-on-year, and all figures are expressed in MXN unless specified otherwise. As a reminder, certain statements made during the call today may constitute forward-looking statements, which are based on current management expectations and beliefs and are subject to several risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including factors that may be beyond our company's control. Please refer to the forward-looking statements disclosure included in this earnings presentation for additional information.
With that, I'll now turn the call to Adolfo. Please go ahead, Adolfo.
Thank you, David, and good morning, everyone. The third quarter marked an important milestone for ASUR. On September 1, we completed acquisition of CPC Aeroportos from Motiva, which added 20 airports to our portfolio, the majority of which are located in Brazil. Coupled with our December 2025 acquisition of the U.S. commercial operations, we have taken significant actions in diversifying ASUR's operations. In turn, ASUR has evolved into the leading international airport operator across the Americas. Today, our portfolio spans 36 airports across seven countries, complemented by commercial operations at three major U.S. airports. To put this scale in perspective, the combined airport portfolio served approximately 120 million passengers in 2025 on a pro forma basis, up from 70 million we reported last year. We now have much broader business than the Mexican airport group that was established nearly three decades ago.
CPC Aeroportos had 17 airports in Brazil, one in Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Curaçao. This gave us an established presence in Brazil, Latin America's largest aviation market, and expands our operation into three additional markets. The final purchase price was BRL 5.5 billion, or approximately $992 million, after customary closing adjustments. Our results for the third quarter include operations solely for the month of September, which are consolidated under the region called Brazil and Others. As a larger, more diverse company, our operations are now spread across more markets with different passenger profiles, reducing our dependence on one market. It also provides more opportunities to apply the operating and commercial experience we have built up many years. While we do not expect to capture significant operating synergies, our focus now is on implementing seamless integration while maintaining our disciplined approach to investment.
We are making changes to our organizational structure to better support the large growing business. To that end, on August 20th, shareholders approved bringing in-house the technical assistance technology transfer service provided by ITA. Once completed, the merger will bring these capabilities and personnel directly into ASUR, simplifying our structure and keeping the expertise within the company.
As a reminder, we will assume the cost of providing these services and eliminate the recurring external technical assistance fee, which amounted approximately MXN 401 million in 2025. Our U.S. commercial business gives us another avenue for growth. At JFK, LAX, and Chicago O'Hare, we are building a platform on non-regulated dollar-denominated commercial revenues. The next major project is the new Terminal 1, expected to be open toward the end of the first quarter next year. We are also continuing developing commercial spaces at LAX to be ready for the Olympic Games in 2028.
The business today is only a small contribution of what we expect the longer-term potential of this new business to be. While we are very excited about these new opportunities, at the same time, Mexico remains central to our business and investment program. Within Mexico, Cancún is an important market for us with significant investments on the way to improve operational efficiencies and support future growth. We are taking a long-term view of Cancún's development while managing the current operating environment. First, the expected remodel and expanded Terminal 1 construction will be completed during this fourth quarter, and then we will proceed with the operational readiness and airport transfer to start operations in the first quarter. Terminal 1 will allow us to redistribute passenger flows and relieve pressure on Terminal 2. It will also create additional commercial capabilities and improve passenger experience.
We are also investing in Terminal 4, with the project expected to be operational at year-end 2028. This investment will provide 12 additional boarding gates on top of the four we added during 2027, and three more due to the expansion of Terminal 1 and a connecting taxiway and related infrastructure. Our capital allocation continues to balance investment into business to support growth and improve efficiencies with returns to shareholders. There are two extraordinary dividends of MXN 10 each, payable on November 30th and December 23rd this year. Turning to our energy strategy. During the third quarter, we began procuring clean energy from a third-party supplier in Mexico. We purchased 13.1 million kilowatt hours, representing more than 40% of the electricity consumption at our Mexican airports during the quarter. We also began the executive design of additional solar panels in our parking facilities.
These are expected to become operational in 2027 and could generate an additional 8 million kilowatt hours of renewable energy annually. Our efforts to advance renewable energy also earned recognition during the quarter, with Airports Council International awarding the Green Airport Recognition for our digital renewable energy management system project. Moving on to passenger traffic. Total traffic decreased 1.2% to 20.9 million passengers and includes one month contribution from Brazil and Others. Considering September 2025 data for comparison purposes, lower traffic in Mexico and Puerto Rico was partially offset by growth in Colombia at the acquired portfolio. Mexico traffic declined nearly 5%, primarily due to weaker international traffic at Cancún. Growth in domestic traffic across our other eight Mexican airports partially offset this weakness. Airline capacity constraints, including a Spirit Airlines bankruptcy, higher jet fuel prices, continue to weigh on demand, particularly for international travel.
Passenger volumes by region to and from the U.S., Europe, South America decreased by 14.9%, 14.4%, 7.9% respectively, while Canada increased by 5.7%. In Puerto Rico, traffic declined slightly over 3% due to continued impact from the bankruptcy of Spirit Airlines early May and softness in both domestic and international demand. On a positive note, September showed an improvement, with total traffic increasing just over 3%, following the declines in July and August. Colombia continued to outperform the rest of the portfolio, with traffic just over 5%, reflecting a trend in both domestic and international traffic, benefiting from better connectivity and healthy demand. Total traffic figures for the quarter also include one month contribution from operations in Brazil and Others, which as a whole increased just over 1% and added nearly 4 million passengers in September.
This is mainly driven by low single-digit growth in Brazil and Ecuador, more than offsetting the low single-digit declines in Costa Rica and Curaçao. On a bigger picture macro front, we do not see any near-term improvement as conditions remain challenging, particularly for international traffic in Mexico although airlines scheduled for the winter season indicate only more seat capacity for December than a year ago, which is not encouraging for the whole winter season. The September improvement in Puerto Rico is encouraging while Colombia continues to grow. We remain cautious of the pace of recovery, while at the same time are focused on supporting the long-term demand fundamentals across our broader portfolio. With CPC, we diminish the dependence in Mexico and basically in one airport. Turning next to the financial performance. As a reminder, the figures I will discuss exclude construction revenue and construction costs, unless otherwise noted.
Revenues increased nearly 13% to MXN 7.8 billion. Non-aeronautical revenues grew just under 27%, including MXN 456 million from the U.S. operations, MXN 362 million from the first month of consolidation of Brazil and Others, and 16% growth in Colombia, offsetting the softer performance in Mexico and Puerto Rico. Aeronautical revenues were up 5% to MXN 4.8 billion, including MXN 315 million contribution from Brazil and Others. Higher passenger traffic supported higher aeronautical revenues in Colombia, while Puerto Rico's aeronautical revenues increased primarily due to the exchange rate difference. These gains were partially offset by softer traffic in Mexico. Commercial revenue per passenger increased 3.5% to MXN 130.5, mainly reflecting the contribution of our U.S. commercial operations. Puerto Rico posted the highest commercial revenue per passenger at MXN 163.3, up 2%, followed by Mexico with MXN 129.
Although this was 10% lower year-on-year, mainly reflecting the lower traffic and passenger mix. Colombia delivered double-digit growth, reaching MXN 65.2, while Brazil and Others added MXN 64.7 in commercial revenues per passenger. We continue expanding our commercial footprint. Over the past 12 months, we opened 39 new commercial spaces across Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia, 31 in Colombia, seven in Puerto Rico, and one in Mexico. Moving on to profitability, consolidated EBITDA increased 1.7% to MXN 4.7 billion. Brazil and Others contributed MXN 313 million in September, and our U.S. commercial operations added MXN 49 million in the quarter. These, together with increases of 7% in Puerto Rico, driven by a lower operating cost and nearly 2% in Colombia, more than offset the 10% decline in Mexico. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 7.4 percentage points year-on-year to 60.3%.
These reflect the pressure of Mexico's revenues together with the consolidation of Brazil and Others and the U.S., both of our margins. Brazil and Others reported an adjusted EBITDA margin of 46.3% for September 2026, while the U.S. reported an EBITDA margin close to 11%. Recall, this business has a different cost structure from our airport operations, including lease obligations to airport authorities, and the margin is not directly comparable. We also are incurring expenses for projects that are not yet generating revenues, including commercial spaces at our U.S. operations, which are expected to open until 2027 and 2028. On the balance sheet, we closed the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of MXN 20 billion and a total debt of nearly MXN 70 billion. Of these, 26.5% was denominated in Mexican pesos, 46.4% in U.S. dollars, corresponding mainly to Puerto Rico, and 27.1% in Brazilian reais.
Net debt of last 12 months EBITDA was 2.6 times, up from 0.2 times, reflecting the acquisition, financing, and addition of the debt from the commercial operation in U.S. and Brazil and Others. At the quarter end, Cancún Airport placed $1.8 billion senior notes in two tranches, $900 million due in 2031 and $900 million in 2036. These notes carry an investment grade rating by S&P and Fitch. We used the net proceeds to repay the bridge facilities for the U.S. and CPC acquisitions, repay the remaining Santander loan, and partially prepay the BBVA loan. This refinancing extends our debt maturities by seven years on average. Lastly, capital expenditures totaled MXN 2.7 billion during the quarter, with the majority expanded in Mexico as we advance in our master development program.
At yesterday's exchange rate converted to Mexican pesos for each region, next year, we expect to invest close to MXN 6 billion in Mexico, MXN 1.8 billion in Costa Rica, MXN 1.7 billion in Puerto Rico, MXN 1.5 billion in Brazil, MXN 414 million in our U.S. commercial operation, MXN 230 million in Colombia, and MXN 213 million in Curaçao. We expect to fund all of these with resources generated by the operation of the region, except for Puerto Rico. This is a total of MXN 11 billion. Main projects include the start of the second phase of the expansion of Terminal 4 at Cancún Airport, the beginning of the construction of a second runway at Curitiba Airport to be completed in 2029, runway refurbishing at Belo Horizonte, Goiânia, Teresina, and São Luís airports in Brazil, which are expected to be completed in 2027.
Also to be completed in 2027 is the first phase of the terminal expansion at San José Airport in Costa Rica. Also, a hangar relocation that will allow us for the second phase expansion of this terminal in 2028. Wrapping up, ASUR is making consistent progress in executing the strategic priorities, optimizing its structure, and further diversifying its geographic operations. We are accomplishing this in a challenging operating environment, particularly in Mexico, and we remain cautious on the pace of the recovery. At the same time, we completed an important acquisition, obtained approval for a more efficient corporate structure, and refinanced our acquisition bridge loans with long-term debt. Our broader airport portfolio, U.S. commercial platform, and continuing investment in capacity provide ASUR additional opportunities for long-term growth. We remain focused on operating performance, driving further efficiencies, disciplined capital allocation, and delivering value to our shareholders, including through dividend payments.
This ends our prepared remarks. We are ready to take your questions. Please, Melissa, open the floor for questions.
Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, dial in by phone and press star then one on your touch tone keypad. To make sure your mute function is turned off, and if you are using a speakerphone, please make sure to pick up your handset before pressing the star key. To withdraw your question, press star then two. Please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up, and rejoin the queue if you have additional questions. Our first question comes from the line of Rodolfo Ramos with Bradesco BBI. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you, Adolfo and David, for taking my question. My first one is on traffic, if I may. You sound realistic but still very cautious regarding the recovery into the winter season. Cancún did a little bit better than Cabo, for example, during the quarter. But can you tell us a little bit more detail as to how would you break down the decline, perhaps airline capacity decisions made to Tulum. What has been driving that decline? Just a little bit more color, if you may, into the first quarter of next year and next year in terms of how you see traffic evolving. The second, if I may, as a follow-up, Mexico EBITDA was down almost double digits. Consolidated administrative expenses roughly doubled. Can you quantify, during the quarter, what costs were non-recurring? For example, CPC on the internalization as well, you have some expenses there.
When you look at now having this multi-country platform, what would be the run rate for you going forward? Thank you.
Thank you, Rodolfo. Well, the traffic, as I said in my initial remarks, if we see the schedule of the airlines for the winter season, the only month that is up against last year is the case of December. It is not the case for the others, and that is why I am saying it is not encouraging. The principal problem we see is the case of the U.S. In terms of the decline, of course, today we have a cocktail of things that are affecting all of these, as you have mentioned. Reduced capacity from the airlines on one side. On the other side, also jumping into better markets for them in terms of yield, and still affected by the bankruptcy of Spirit. That was important for the case of Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia. There are some other negatives in terms of some other regions.
That is the case of Europe and the case of South America. The only one that is positive is the case of Canada, with 5.7% during the quarter. That remains strong, but the others are not looking well for the winter season. Of course, this is not definitive. The airlines normally adjust their program as the time goes by. But for the moment, what I can say to you is that we are not so happy of what we are seeing, and we do not know when all of this conflict in the Middle East will end and will bring a better outcome for the airlines. In terms of expenses, during the quarter, yes, we had some one-time events.
That is the case of expenses related to the acquisitions of CPC, related to the internalization of the project of the technical assistance, and also the case of the bonds that will not be there in the future. Nevertheless, it is important to say that next year, in the case of Mexico, we will be affected by the reduction in the working hours that was established by the government, from 40 hours during the week to 38. That will give us additional costs during the quarter, and also the new operation of Terminal 1. We are taking all what we can in order to try to control costs, but of course, we will see the effects on the first quarter of next year.
Thank you, Adolfo.
You're welcome.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Guilherme Mendes with JPMorgan. Please proceed with your question.
Hey. Hello, Adolfo, David. Good morning. Thanks for taking my question. I have a follow-up on the capital allocation discussion. Going forward, there has been news about ASUR potentially interested on the Brasília airport and some regional airports in Brazil. Just wanted to confirm if that's really the case, and if there's anything else that ASUR will be willing to consider at this point in terms of expanding its portfolio. Thank you.
Guilherme, thank you for your question. For the moment, we are focused on consolidating what we just recently acquired, that is the case of the U.S. and the 20 additional airports from CPC.
Thank you, Adolfo. If I may, a follow-up on also on capital allocations, is how you think about leverage going forward. What pace of the leverage should we expect as you consolidate the operations?
Well, as I mentioned, in terms of the most important thing that we have in front, which is the CapEx, the 11 points of the billion pesos for next year. All of these should be funded by the cash flow generation in each one of the regions. So we do not expect any more leverage next year.
Got it. Thank you.
You are welcome.
Thank you. Our next question comes from line of Fernanda Recchia with BTG Pactual. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, Adolfo. Hi, David. Thank you for taking my question. Two here from our side as well. The first, regarding Motiva profitability, the airport during the month of September posted a 47% of EBITDA margin, and we know looking for historical level that these airports usually report around 50%. So just wanted to understand if it was something specific for the month of September and margins for these airports should improve, or this is the recurring level we should see going forward? Second, still on capital allocation, a follow-up. We know that you are focused on just consolidate of what you acquired, but we also know that Infraero and Zurich are discussing the tag along within Confins Airport, and Zurich specific in Curaçao. So maybe could you elaborate how you see the timing, and if you think this tag along will indeed be exercising? Thank you.
Yes, Fernanda. Well, we just started the operation in September with this 47% EBITDA margin. I believe that we can do something better in the future. For the moment, I cannot be sure about the 50% you are talking about, but it's clear for us that there are some opportunities there. In terms of tag alongs, yes, those were included in the whole scheme of the operation with CPC. We are in the process of that, waiting for some approvals and waiting for final answers in the case of Infraero. So yes, those have been included in the transaction. It's to go from the case of Infraero, it's a 49% Confins, and the case of Zurich is a 12.5% Confins, and 10.2% in the case of Curaçao to reach 90% there.
Thank you, Adolfo.
You're welcome.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Alberto Valerio with UBS. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, Adolfo, David. Thank you so much for the opportunity to make my question. Welcome to Brazil, officially now with airports in Brazil. My question goes towards the Brazilian airports and Central American airports, the new airports. Is there any regulatory commitment of CapEx for those airports?
Yes, Alberto. As I mentioned, what we are expecting for next year in the case of Brazil, most of this is regulatory. There are some additional projects, but of course those are lower in comparison with the regulatory regime. That is the case of the Brazilian airports.
Beyond next year, it's a large amount of CapEx, or a small amount of CapEx should be deployed?
Well, next year is almost the same as 2028. It's going to be almost the same as 2027, and then it reduces.
Okay. Thank you so much.
You are welcome.
Thank you. Our next question comes in line of Pablo Ricalde with Itaú BBA. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, good morning, Adolfo. On the current topic, I do not know if you can provide an update on the internalization process. Is it fair to assume that will happen as of January 1st, 2027? And if you have quantified synergies, so it is going to be 100% impact on margins, or there will be some expenses associated with reducing the technological inputs?
Thank you, Pablo. Well, the process has started, and it will take some time. We need some approvals from the Mexican tax authorities and some other approvals. In terms of the costs, we see an opportunity there, as I mentioned, MXN 401 million in 2025. Of course, we will not spend that amount of money in the future, so we see some increase in EBITDA because of this.
Perfect. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Anton Mortenkotter with GBM. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, Adolfo. Thank you for taking my question. I understand ASUR appointed a new director for the Brazil region, right? José Formoso. I was thinking, what capabilities are you looking to bring into the group through this leadership choice? Also, as you integrate the acquired airports, how are you planning to measure success? I mean, which metrics will matter most? Is it commercial revenue per passenger, operating efficiencies, return on invested capital? Just looking to better understand your approach there. Thank you.
Yes, of course. Remember that the first objective, in the case of the CPC acquisition, was to use the balance sheet and to correct the too-healthy equity structure we have in the company. Now you can see that we have increased our leverage from 0.2 to 2.6 times last 12 months net EBITDA. That was the first objective. Of course, in terms of things that we're going to be focused on is the case of the commercial revenues. We believe that there are some opportunities there, and also some operational efficiencies in some of the other airports that are not in Brazil. In the case of the new CEO of Brazil, José Formoso, he has a lot of experience in managing concessions in the first place. The second one, he has been in Brazil for more than 20 years with a success story.
He was making a lot of changes with a lot of success in the countries there. That's what we were focused on. Also, he knows about how Mexicans think. That was why we decided to select him as CEO, and I can say to you that we are extremely happy for the selection we have made.
Super clear. Thank you, Adolfo.
You're welcome.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Jens Spiess with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.
Yes. Hello, Adolfo. One follow-up on the technical efficiency and the reduction in costs. When you are facing the regulator in your next MDP cycle and looking at the reference value model, how you will be treating that reduction in cost? Will there be an impact from the reference value calculation or not?
Well, you know that the new regulated regime that has been published on October 19, 2023, recognizes all the expenses that the company has. Of course, if we reduce expenses, that will be impacted our future tariff or our future results from the update of the new MDP.
Okay. It will result in a lower cost in that calculation. That is awesome.
Yes.
Perfect. Thank you. Thank you, Adolfo.
You're welcome.
Thank you. Our next question comes from the line of Alan Macias with Bank of America. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, good morning, and thank you for the call. Just a question on margins on the U.S. operations, if you can provide guidance on what you expect margins to be in the long term. Thank you.
Alan, thanks for your question. The margin that we reported was 11%. That will increase, of course. As I said during the initial remarks, one of the key elements of this is still pending to start operations, which is the case of terminal 1. It has been delayed since June last year up to the end of the first quarter next year. So that will improve the margin. Today, we are still spending some money there without receiving any revenue. It is also the case for a new space, a very important new space that we are constructing at Chicago O'Hare.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, as a reminder, if you would like to join the queue, please press star one on your telephone keypad. Our next question is a follow-up from the line of Fernanda Recchia with BTG Pactual. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, thank you for the follow-up. Just one quick question here. We saw local news today saying that the incentives for airlines cooperating Tulum might be postponed. Just wondering if you have any thoughts on this and if this is something that you believe will happen. Thank you.
Well, the case of Tulum, Fernanda, if you remember, they started operation December 2023 with 40,000 passengers. In 2024, they reached 1.2 million. In 2025, using lasttwo months, by June, July, they reached 1.5 million. My expectation for this year is that they will reach 700,000. On one side, they have been affected, the same as we have been affected in the case of Cancún, by the capacity reduction from the airlines. But on the other side, it is clear for me that there are some other decisions that have been taken in regards to this airport, which is the case of the domestic market reductions from Aeroméxico and also the case of Volaris. So my expectation for next year is that this airport will be around 700,000, 800,000 passengers.
Thank you. Our next question is a follow-up from the line of Anton Mortenkotter with GBM. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, Adolfo. Thank you for the follow-up. Just a quick one. I was wondering, how does the U.S. debt issuance affect the capital structure considered on the Mexican regulatory WACC calculation?
Mexican regulatory is just for Mexico. That does not include any other operation or any other cost in the equation, nor the leverage as well.
Thank you.
You are welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you. Once again, if you'd like to ask a question, please press star one on your telephone keypad. We'll pause a moment to allow for any others. Mr. David Barlow, it seems that there are no other questions at this time. I'll turn the floor back to you for final comments.
Thank you, Melissa. We would like to thank you all again for joining us on today's call, and we look forward to speaking to you again in the next quarter. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further questions. Have a nice day, and thank you very much.
Thank you. This concludes ASUR's third quarter 2026 results call. We would like to thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect your lines.

In Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Brazil & Others, ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line, "Construction Revenues," reflecting the revenue from construction of, 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, as well as 53.5% in Ecuador, 20.2% in Curazao, 2.5% in Costa Rica and 61.7% in Bello Horizonte. Other than these operations, ASUR owns (directly or indirectly) 100% of its subsidiaries. EBITDA is calculated as consolidated net income plus income tax, share of loss of investments accounted for using the equity method, extraordinary items, comprehensive financing costs and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or 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 is calculated as consolidated EBITDA adjusted by certain items that include the impact of IFRS16 in connection with ASUR Airports and add back extraordinary items. Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted Consolidated EBITDA by Total Revenue Excluding Construction Services Revenue for Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico and Brazil & Others, and exclude the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction of, or improvements to, concessioned assets. IFRIC 12 requires ASUR to include in its income statement a revenue line reflecting revenues from the construction or improvement of concession assets during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line "Construction Costs," as ASUR engages third parties to provide construction services. In Mexico, Puerto Rico, Colombia and Brazil & Others, construction revenues and construction costs are included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12. Construction revenues therefore have no impact on EBITDA but affect the EBITDA margin, as the increase in revenues attributable to construction revenues does not result in a corresponding increase in EBITDA.

Aeronautical revenues contracted due to softer traffic in Mexico and Puerto Rico and the stronger Mexican peso affecting international operations. Consolidated EBITDA decreased nearly 9%, with declines in Mexico and Puerto Rico, and the US commercial business operating at a lower margin. Administrative expenses in Mexico remain elevated, driven by increased labor costs and medical insurance expenses. The operating environment remains challenging, particularly in Mexico, with issues such as jet fuel price increases and airline bankruptcies affecting traffic. Q: We saw softer implicit tariff in your aeronautical revenues. Can you comment on your maximum tariff compliance and expectations for the year given today's FX? Also, how do you see costs evolving, especially with the internalization and Motiva acquisition? A: We are experiencing pressure on the maximum tariff due to changes in passenger mix, particularly the decrease in US traffic. Our goal remains 99% compliance by year-end. Regarding costs, we had one-time expenses related to Motiva and the US, including legal fees for internalization, which won't recur in the future. The main issue this quarter was revenue loss due to decreased passenger numbers at Cancun and Puerto Rico airports. Q: Regarding Motiva's airports, what is the status of regulatory approvals, and are there any expected synergies from the transaction? A: The delay is primarily in Brazil, but we expect to complete the acquisition in the third quarter. We do not anticipate significant synergies from the transaction and have no plans for partial divestment of these assets at this time. Q: Administrative expenses in Mexico have increased significantly. Is this the new normal, and what is driving these costs? A: The increase is due to higher minimum wages and a significant rise in medical insurance costs following a tax reform by the Mexican government. Q: Can you explain the weakness in Cancun traffic and your expectations for growth? A: The decline is due to several factors, including a 42% increase in jet fuel prices, Spirit Airlines' bankruptcy, and high levels of sargassum. We expect recovery by the end of the summer season, with improved seat availability by November and December. Q: What is the expected EBITDA margin for ASUR US once IFRS 16 effects normalize, and is ASUR US considered a platform for future US expansions? A: The current EBITDA margin for ASUR US is around 9%, which is lower than our other regions. We expect this margin to increase but not to match Mexico's levels. ASUR US is indeed intended as a platform for future expansion in the United States. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.

Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste Q2 Earnings Call Highlights
Interested in Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A. de C.V.? Here are five stocks we like better. Passenger traffic fell 2.7% in Q2 to about 17 million, as weakness in Mexico and Puerto Rico outweighed growth in Colombia. Cancun remained under pressure, with management blaming lower U.S. demand, airline capacity issues, higher fares and sargassum. Revenue and profitability held up thanks to stronger commercial business and U.S. airport operations. Excluding construction items, revenue was roughly flat at MXN 7.4 billion, while EBITDA rose nearly 9% to MXN 4.6 billion and net majority income increased 7%. ASUR is pushing ahead with growth projects and shareholder returns, including Cancun terminal expansions, the Motiva airport portfolio acquisition, and a proposal to internalize technical-assistance services. The board also proposed two extraordinary cash dividends, supported by strong cash flow and a solid balance sheet. Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste (NYSE:ASR) said second-quarter passenger traffic declined as softer demand in Mexico and Puerto Rico offset continued growth in Colombia, while the airport operator advanced expansion projects, its proposed acquisition of Motiva’s airport portfolio and a plan to internalize technical-assistance services. Total passenger traffic fell 2.7% year over year to approximately 17 million passengers. Mexico traffic declined 5%, led by continued weakness at Cancun, while Puerto Rico traffic decreased 3.5%. Colombia traffic rose 3.6%, supported by demand and improved connectivity. → Could Truth API Become Trump Media’s First Meaningful Revenue Driver? Chief Executive Officer Adolfo Castro said Cancun’s international traffic remained under pressure, particularly among U.S. travelers. He cited airline capacity constraints, Spirit Airlines’ bankruptcy, higher airfares associated in part with elevated jet fuel prices, and heavy sargassum conditions as factors affecting demand. Passenger volumes to and from the U.S., Europe, South America and Mexico declined 11.7%, 11.8%, 6.5% and 1.9%, respectively, while Canadian traffic increased 10.5%. “The summer is lost,” Castro said in response to an analyst question on Cancun traffic, adding that the company expects conditions to improve following the summer season.

Based on airline-published seat data, ASUR sees increased offered seats for November and December compared with the prior year. → GE Vernova Just Sent a Mixed AI Signal to Investors Excluding construction revenue and costs, quarterly revenue was broadly stable at MXN 7.4 billion. Non-aeronautical revenue increased nearly 10%, aided by MXN 444 million from ASUR’s U.S. airport commercial operations and 30% growth in Colombia. Aeronautical revenue declined by a mid-single-digit percentage, reflecting softer traffic in Mexico and Puerto Rico as well as the impact of a stronger Mexican peso on international operations and local operations with a U.S. dollar component. Commercial revenue per passenger increased nearly 13% to MXN 153. In Mexico, commercial revenue per passenger declined by a single-digit percentage to MXN 145.7, while Puerto Rico and Colombia posted low- and high-single-digit increases, respectively. → D-Wave Quantum or a Quantum ETF: Which Is the Better Bet? The company added 40 commercial spaces over the past 12 months, including 29 in Colombia, eight in Puerto Rico and three in Mexico. During the quarter, ASUR completed a $125 million commercial transformation of JFK Terminal 8, opening more than 60 dining, retail, duty-free and experiential concepts. Consolidated EBITDA rose nearly 9% to MXN 4.6 billion. EBITDA declined 9% in Mexico and 17% in Puerto Rico, while it increased 1% in Colombia. ASUR’s U.S. airports contributed MXN 20 million in EBITDA, which management said does not yet reflect the platform’s earnings potential. The adjusted EBITDA margin declined 560 basis points to 62%, due to lower revenue in Mexico and Puerto Rico and the consolidation of the lower-margin U.S. commercial business. Net majority income increased 7% to MXN 2.3 billion. Castro said lower foreign-exchange losses in Mexico and lower income-tax expenses in Mexico and Colombia helped offset the benefit related to amortization of the fair-value adjustment on the Colombian acquisition loan following its repayment. Management said certain costs during the quarter were one-time expenses connected to the Motiva transaction, U.S. operations and legal work related to the proposed internalization project. Castro said those expenses were not significant relative to the revenue impact from lower passenger traffic, including a loss of roughly 500,000 passengers at Cancun and 135,000 in Puerto Rico. Mexico administrative expenses were also affected by higher minimum wages and a 39% increase in medical insurance costs following a Mexican tax reform, Castro said. He characterized the higher insurance expense as recurring rather than a one-time item. ASUR said changing passenger mix, including lower U.S. traffic, put pressure on its maximum tariff. The company nevertheless expects to achieve approximately 99% maximum-tariff compliance for the full year. Capital expenditures increased to MXN 2 billion during the quarter, primarily in Mexico. At Cancun, ASUR expects its new Terminal 1 to open in the fourth quarter. The facility is intended to help rebalance passenger flows, including moving most South American operations from Terminal 2, easing pressure on that terminal and creating additional commercial capacity. The company is also executing the second phase of Terminal 4’s expansion at Cancun, including four new boarding gates, a connecting taxiway and related airside and roadway infrastructure. The project is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2028. ASUR said it is progressing toward completing its acquisition of Motiva during the second half of 2026, subject to remaining regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Castro said Brazil is the region taking longer in the approval process and that the company is now targeting completion in the third quarter. The transaction would add 20 airports across Brazil, Ecuador, Costa Rica and Curaçao, including ASUR’s entry into Brazil. The core portfolio handles approximately 45 million passengers annually. Castro said ASUR does not currently expect significant synergies from the deal and is not considering a partial sale of the acquired assets. ASUR ended the quarter with nearly MXN 12 billion in cash and cash equivalents and net debt equal to 0.9 times last-12-month EBITDA. The company said its balance sheet provides flexibility to fund capital commitments, complete the Motiva transaction and pursue other projects. In the U.S., commercial development at JFK’s New Terminal 1 is continuing ahead of an expected first-quarter 2027 opening, after an originally anticipated July 2026 opening. Castro said the U.S. operation’s current EBITDA margin is about 9% and should improve, though it is not expected to reach the margins generated in Mexico. ASUR also continues to develop commercial space at LAX ahead of the 2027 Super Bowl and the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games. ASUR will ask shareholders at an Aug. 20 meeting to approve the internalization of special technical-assistance and technology-transfer services currently provided by strategic partner ITA. The proposed merger would result in the issuance of approximately 7.3 million net new ASUR shares to ITA shareholders, equal to about 2.4% of current shares outstanding. ASUR recognized approximately MXN 401 million in technical-assistance fees during 2025. If approved, the company would assume the related operating costs, eliminate the recurring external fee and retain future economic benefits from those activities internally. The board also proposed two extraordinary cash dividends of MXN 10 per share, with payments proposed for Nov. 24 and Dec. 15. Castro said first-half operating cash flow increased 21% year over year to MXN 7.3 billion, supporting shareholder returns while preserving flexibility for investments and future growth opportunities.

FY2026 Q2 earnings call transcript
Good day, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to ASUR's second quarter 2026 results conference call. My name is Christine. I will be your operator. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. We will conduct a question-and-answer session toward the end of today's conference. If you would like to ask a question, please press star one. If you want to withdraw your question at any time, please press star two. If you are using a speakerphone, please lift the handset before making a selection. As a reminder, today's call is being recorded. Mr. David Barlow, Corporate Governance Strategic Planning Manager and IRO at ASUR, please go ahead, sir.
Thank you, Christine. Thank you everyone for joining us today to discuss ASUR's results for the second quarter of 2026. With me on today's call is Adolfo Castro, Chief Executive Officer. Additional details about our results can be found in our press release, which was issued yesterday after market close and is available on our website. As usual, all comparisons discussed on this call will be year-over-year. All figures are expressed in MXN unless specified otherwise.
As a reminder, certain statements made during the call today may constitute forward-looking statements, which are based on current management expectations and beliefs and are subject to several risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially, including factors that may be beyond our company's control. Please refer to the forward-looking statements disclosure included in this earnings presentation for additional information. With that, I'll turn the call to Adolfo. Please go ahead, Adolfo.
Thank you, David. Good morning, everyone. I'm going to start today's conference call with a discussion on the strategic initiatives that are setting the foundation of ASUR's next stage of development and growth. I will briefly review quarterly results. Our objective is to continue building the leading airport group in the Americas.
We're doing this by expanding into attractive markets, diversifying our geographic and revenue mix, diminishing the dependence in one market, increasing our exposure to commercial revenues, and improving the efficiency of our operational model. The Motiva transaction, ASUR US airports, the investment program at Cancun Airport, and the proposed internalization of the technical assistance services are key components to achieving our goal. Let me begin with the proposal that we propose to the shareholders meeting that is going to take place on August the 20th.
We are asking shareholders to consider approving ASUR's plan to internalize the special technical assistance and technology transfer services currently provided by our strategic partner, ITA. We believe this is an important step in ASUR's evolution. It will bring these capabilities, personnel expertise, and know-how into ASUR, simplify our corporate structure, and better align our operational model with the scale and complexity of our growing international platform. The transaction would be implemented through a merger and would involve the issuance of approximately 7.3 million net new ASUR shares to ITA shareholders, equivalent to approximately 2.4% of the current shares outstanding. For reference, ASUR recognized approximately MXN 401 million in technical assistance fees during 2025. If the transaction is approved, these services will be performed by ASUR.
We will assume the related operating cost, the recurring external fee will be eliminated, and the future economic benefits of these activities would remain within the company. The proposal was reviewed and negotiated under the leadership of the Audit and Corporate Practices Committee, which is composed exclusively of independent directors and supported by independent financial and legal advisors. Separately, the board has proposed two extraordinary cash dividends to be paid, MXN 10 per share on November 24th and December 15th, respectively. The proposal reflects ASUR's strong financial position, solid cash generation, and disciplined approach to capital allocation. During the first half of the year, we generated MXN 7.3 billion in operating cash flow, an increase of 21% year-over-year. This cash-generating capacity allows to return excess capital to shareholders while preserving the flexibility to fund our investment commitments and pursue future growth opportunities.
Shareholders will also be asked to approve amendments to the bylaws. To align them with the current regulatory framework, and second, if the internalization is approved, to reflect the changes resulting from the merger. We encourage shareholders to review the information statement for additional details. Turning to MOTIVA, we are actively progressing to complete acquisition during the second half of 2026.
The transaction remains subject to remaining regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. Once completed, the transactions will add a portfolio of 20 airports across Brazil, Ecuador, Costa Rica, and Curaçao, including entry into Brazil, the largest aviation market in Latin America. The core portfolio handles approximately 45 million passengers annually and will significantly increase the source of scale and geographic diversification. Our under-levered balance sheet enables to fund these transaction with debt, while at the same time preserving financial flexibility for other high-return projects, including dividend payments.
ASUR US provides directly exposure to the non-regulated dollar-denominated commercial revenues at the three major U.S. airports, with over 35 million annual customers and revenues above U.S. benchmarks. ASUR US also is a platform from which we will continue further developing our commercial capabilities in the U.S. On April 21st, ASUR US completed the $125 million commercial transformation of JFK Terminal eight, opening more than 60 dining, retail, duty-free, and experiential concepts. At JFK new Terminal one, commercial development continues ahead of its expected opening towards the first quarter next year. As a result, the current financial contribution does not yet represent the earning potential of the U.S. platform. At LAX, we continue remodeling and developing commercial spaces ahead of the Super Bowl in 2027 and the Olympics and Paralympic Games in 2028.
In Mexico, construction of the new Terminal 1 continues at Cancun, which we plan to be open during the fourth quarter. Once operational, Terminal 1 will allow to begin rebalancing passenger flows, including moving most of South American operations from Terminal 2. This should reduce pressure on Terminal 2 and improve the passenger experience and create additional commercial capacity. In parallel, we continue executing the broad Master Development Program. This includes the second phase of Terminal 4 expansion, which will add four boarding new gates and a connecting taxiway, together with the related airside and roadway infrastructure. The project is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2028 and is designed to expand capacity, improve passenger and air cargo flows, and support Cancun's longer-term growth.
Together, these initiatives support the same objective: a larger and more geographically balanced airport platform in markets with attractive long-term demand, greater contribution from commercial revenues, and more efficient operating and equity structure. Turning to passenger traffic. Total traffic declined 2.7% year-on-year to approximately 17 million passengers, reflecting softer performance in Mexico and Puerto Rico, partially offset by continued growth in Colombia.
In Mexico, traffic declined 5%, primarily reflecting continued pressure at Cancun, where international traffic remains softer, particularly from the U.S., our largest international source market. Airline capacity constraints, Spirit bankruptcy, and higher airfares partially reflected elevated jet fuel prices also affected demand. In addition, the World Cup did not generate incremental tourism flow into Mexican Caribbean. Most of our other Mexican airports performed better and partially offset the decline at Cancun.
Passenger volumes to and from the U.S., Europe, South America, and Mexico decreased by 11.7%, 11.8%, 6.5%, 1.9% respectively, while Canada increased 10.5%. Puerto Rico traffic declined 3.5%, reflecting the effects of the Spirit bankruptcy together with softer domestic and international demand. Domestic remain affected by airline capacity and fare dynamics in the U.S. market, while international remain comparatively more resilient. It will take time for other airlines to absorb the Spirit passengers lost since May 2nd. Colombia traffic increased 3.6%, supported by a healthy demand and improved connectivity. Growth moderated against a strong comparison base that continued to outperform the rest of our portfolio. While near-term conditions in Mexico and Puerto Rico remain challenging, we continue to view much of the current pressure as capacity and affordability-related rather than a change in the long-term fundamentals of the travel demand.
Fleet availability should gradually improve as aircraft return to service, although the timing remains uncertain. Turning to financial performance, as usual, the figures I will disclose exclude construction revenue and construction costs, unless otherwise noted.
Revenues were broadly stable at MXN 7.4 billion. Non-aeronautical revenues increased nearly 10%, supported by the contribution from our U.S. airport, which added MXN 444 million and 30% growth in Colombia. By contrast, aeronautical revenues contracted by mid-single digit, mainly reflecting the softer traffic in Mexico and Puerto Rico, and the translation effect of the stronger Mexican peso in our international operations and local operations with a U.S. dollar component. Commercial revenues per passenger increased nearly 13% to MXN 153 per passenger, primarily reflecting the addition of the U.S. commercial base. A single-digit decline to MXN 145.7 per passenger in Mexico was offset by a low and high single-digit increases in Puerto Rico and Colombia respectively.
Softer performance in Mexico and Puerto Rico resulted from lower traffic and FX headwinds, given the strength of the Mexican peso. The expansion of our commercial footprint is ongoing, with 40 new commercial spaces, 29 in Colombia, eight in Puerto Rico, and three in Mexico over the last 12 months. As previously mentioned, we completed the commercial transformation of JFK Terminal 8 during the quarter. Consolidated EBITDA increased nearly 9% to MXN 4.6 billion. EBITDA declined 9% in Mexico, 17% in Puerto Rico, while increasing 1% in Colombia. U.S. airports contributed MXN 20 million of EBITDA, reflecting the platform's current development stage.
This contribution is not yet representative of its earnings potential, as JFK Terminal 8 continues to ramp up and JFK new Terminal 1 is expected to open during the first quarter next year, while commercial spaces at LAX and Chicago O'Hare have been expanded and upgraded. Adjusted EBITDA margin declined 560 basis points year-over-year to 62% due to lower revenues in Mexico and Puerto Rico and the consolidation of the U.S. commercial business, which is operating at a lower margin. Net majority income increased 7% to MXN 2.3 billion, as lower foreign exchange loss in Mexico, lower income tax expenses in Mexico and Colombia, was offset by the benefit from the amortization of the fair value adjustment related to the Colombian acquisition loan following its repayment.
We ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of nearly MXN 12 billion, and Net Debt to EBITDA of 0.9X last 12 months EBITDA. Our balance sheet remains strong and provides flexibility to execute and fund our committed capital program, complete the Motiva transaction, and continue pursuing our broader strategic priorities. During the quarter, we stepped up capital expenditures to MXN 2.0 billion, with the majority of these funded in Mexico as we advance in our capital program, including the projects at Cancun that I already discussed. While the operating environment remains challenging, particularly in Mexico, as usual, it's moving in the right direction as we are making progress executing our strategic growth initiatives. Better equity structure and diversification.
Our expansion through the Motiva acquisition, our U.S. commercial operations, and the ongoing cost efficiency efforts are strengthening our business and positioning the company for long-term growth. We remain disciplined with the capital allocation and cautious in our outlook while continuing to create long-term, sustainable value for our shareholders, complemented with attractive dividend payments. We are ready to take your questions. Christine, please open the floor for questions.
Thank you. We will now begin the question-and-answer session. To ask a question, dial in by phone and press star one on your telephone keypad. Make sure your mute function is turned off, and if you are using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, press star, then two. Please limit yourself to one question and one follow-up. Join the queue again if you have additional questions. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. Thank you. Our first question comes from the line of Rodolfo Ramos with Bradesco BBI. Please proceed with your question.
Good morning, Adolfo, David. Thanks for taking my questions. A couple here, if I may, into my follow-up there. We saw softer implicit tariff in your aeronautical revenues. Wanted to check on your maximum tariff compliance and where you expect to end the year given today's FX. The second is on your cost side, whether you think that this quarter represents a good base going forward, and how does the internalization might play there? I don't know if you're seeing still extraordinary expenses on the Motiva acquisition, and how can those evolve going forward? Thank you.
Thank you, Rodolfo. Yes, of course, we are seeing some pressure in the maximum tariff due to the fact that the passenger mix is changing in comparison with last year. The decrease in the U.S. traffic had an impact. Of course, as always, we will have a very clear objective, which is 99% maximum tariff compliance by the end of the year. In terms of the cost, yes, we have one-time costs during the quarter related to Motiva, related to the U.S., some additional fees, legal fees, due to the internalization of the project. Nothing that will be there in the future. It's true.
Any way that we can give us a sense of sizing of these expenses that you expect to
Those are, I would say, in general terms, not so important. The clear problem we had during the quarter was the loss of half a million passengers in the case of Cancun, and 135,000 in the case of Puerto Rico. The problem is in the revenue side.
Okay. Thank you, Adolfo.
You're welcome.
Our next question comes from the line of Guilherme Mendes with JPMorgan. Please proceed with your question.
Yes, good morning, all. Thanks for taking my question. Hi, Adolfo and David. I have a couple regarding Motiva's airports. The first is on the approval. You said the expectation for the second half of the year. I recall on the last call you mentioned about the second quarter of the year. If you can share which of the four regions are taking longer than expected. Also regarding synergies, I recall you guys talking about not expecting a lot of synergies on the transaction, if anything has changed on that front. Lastly, if I may, if you somehow consider a potential partial divestment of those assets once you incorporate them on your portfolio. Thank you.
Yes. The region that is holding up is the case of Brazil. We are very close to an end. I would say, I said second half. I would say third quarter. In the case of synergies, I don't see any important synergy. As I said before, we are basically expecting the same business as usual. In terms of selling some pieces, not for the moment.
Very clear. Thank you, Adolfo.
You're welcome.
Our next question comes from the line of Jens Spiess with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question.
Yes, hello. Thank you, Adolfo, for taking my question. On the administrative expenses in Mexico, they remain quite elevated. I think they increased more than around 30% year-over-year. Should we expect this level to be more or less the new normal, and what's driving it? Is it mostly labor cost, minimum wage increases, and so on, or what is it?
Yeah, it's minimum wages, and also there was an issue with medical insurance costs that had increased significantly in the case of Mexico due to a tax reform by the Mexican government.
Okay. All right. Okay, perfect. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Our next question comes from the line of João Frizo with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.
Hey, Adolfo. Hey, David. Good morning, guys. I have a quick question around Cancun traffic. Just wanted to hear a bit your thoughts on why the weakness in that airport specifically. In the past, we had the issue with Tulum ramping up. I think that's behind us right now. I just wanted to hear your expectations for growth there going forward and what is driving the weakness we saw in June, but also in the months prior to that. Thank you very much, guys.
Well, the weakness is a cocktail of matters. One of the important ones is, of course, the jet fuel increase. Just to say jet fuel had increased 42% during the month of June due to the conflicts in the Middle East. That's one of the things. The second one, of course, the bankruptcy of Spirit Airlines, and it's going to take time for the other airlines to recuperate this. The case of Sargassum, which has been very high during this year, almost exceeding the levels of last year during the summer. In terms of the recuperation process, my opinion is that the summer is lost, and we are expecting the recuperation process up to the end of the summer season. Winter season, we see a better outlook, and I would say more seats, more offered seats than what we had last year.
That will be up to November, December this year.
That's great. Thank you very much.
You're welcome.
Our next question comes from the line of Abraham Fuentes with Banco Santander. Please proceed with your question. Abraham Fuentes, your line is live.
I think, sorry. I think my question was already answered. Sorry for that.
Our next question comes from the line of Pablo Ricalde with Itaú. Please proceed with your question.
Yes. Good morning, Adolfo. Good morning, everybody. Talking about the recently increasing tariffs in Mexico, which is your maximum tariff that you're charging now after July hike? I don't know if you can comment on that.
The maximum tariff is not what you collect on every single day. To comply the maximum tariff is the whole years from 1st of January up to December last year, at the end of the year. What I said is, what we're expecting is that the maximum tariff compliance for this year should be close to 99%.
Okay. Thank you.
Our next question comes from the line of Enrique Cantu with GBM. Please proceed with your question.
Adolfo, thank you for the call. I just have one quick question. During the quarter, inaudible generated only a modest EBITDA contribution despite a full quarter of consolidation. Could you provide more color on when should we expect the business to reach a more normalized profitability level?
I am really sorry, I cannot hear you well. Could you repeat your question, please?
Can you hear me now?
It's better, but not so better.
Okay, maybe I'll hang up and then call you again.
Okay, thanks.
Thank you.
Our next question comes from the line of Anton Mortenkotter with GBM. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, Adolfo. Thank you for taking my question. One of my questions, I am not sure if you can provide some color on how the current traffic curve looks against the expectations that you set during the last MDP revision. That is one. Another one, which I think is the one that Enrique was trying to ask, is regarding ASUR US EBITDA contribution. I think during previous calls you mentioned you were expecting somewhere closer to $20 million in EBITDA normalized. I am not sure if you are still expecting those same levels. Thank you.
Thank you for your questions. Of course, we are below our expectation of the previous MDP. We were not expecting all of these things that are happening today. In the case of ASUR U.S., the $20 million is not going to happen this year. Moreover, when we are not going to open new terminal one this year. Originally, it was expected to be open as from July the first. Now we are expecting at the end of first quarter next year.
Super useful. Thank you, Adolfo.
You're welcome.
Our next question comes from the line of Gabriel Himelfarb with Scotiabank. Please proceed with your question.
Hi, Adolfo. Good morning, and thanks for the call. Just two questions. What's the EBITDA margin level we should consider sustainable for ASUR US once the IFRS 16 effects normalize? Also, should we think about ASUR US as an asset or as a platform for future U.S. expansions? Thank you.
Gabriel, today's EBITDA margin in the U.S. operations is around 9%. It is a completely different business in comparison with what we have in Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia. Even though I do believe that this margin will increase in the future, of course, will never be comparable with the margin in the case of Mexico. It is important to say also that today we have some expenses in relation with the projects we are progressing. We are doing in the case of new terminal 1. Some of the cost is related to this project that is not generating tax, any revenue. Of course, what we have said is we want this to be a platform to grow in the United States. That is the most important objective we have with this project.
Okay. Thank you very much.
You are welcome.
Our next question comes from the line of Alan Macias with Bank of America. Please proceed with your question.
Hi. Good morning. Thank you for the call, Adolfo. To follow up on Cancun traffic. Focusing on domestic traffic, it has also been weak. The same factors apply for domestic traffic in Cancun? Thank you.
You know, the problem with the domestic has been the engine problem of Pratt & Whitney with Viva and Volaris, basically the case of Volaris. This has been improved. During the quarter, I had the opportunity to meet Enrique Beltranena, and he's saying that now Pratt & Whitney are delivering their aircrafts faster than what they have before. I am confident that we will see some increase in the coming quarters at this respect.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Our next question is a follow-up from Jens Spiess with Morgan Stanley. Please proceed with your question. Jens Spiess, your line's unmuted. Our next question comes from the line of Alberto Valerio with UBS. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you, Adolfo. Sorry if I am repeating question. My mind dropped it before. If you could provide some details, and when comes the terminal 1 operation, you said in the second half of the year, but should be middle of the third quarter, more to the end, more to the fourth quarter? Should we consider it the second quarter as a bottom for ASUR in terms of traffic, margins, costs, tariffs? Should we see improvement for the following quarters?
Okay, in the case of you are talking about new terminal, well, the terminal 1 in Cancun Airport. I am expecting that for the fourth quarter. New terminal 1 at JFK is first quarter next year. In terms of being this quarter the bottom line, that is what I hope. Not so sure, of course, in terms of the traffic. I do not expect something different for that quarter. I expect some improvement during the fourth quarter.
Perfect. If I may, I follow up. In terms of dynamic of airlines, do you see that change something with Viva and Volaris being one than it was before? Do you see a more bargain power from them to negotiate tariffs or not? Because you are still the cheapest one.
Well, basically, what I understand of their merge is that they will continue working separately, independent, so that the merge is just giving them the power to be able to negotiate better with the aircrafts. In terms of the traffic, in terms of the routes, they should be independent.
Okay. [Non-English content]
[Non-English content]
Our next question is a follow-up from Rodolfo Ramos with Bradesco BBI. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Just a couple follow-ups, Adolfo, if I may. The insurance costs that you mentioned, are these expected to be recurring, or was this a one-time off? Again, if this is a good base to go off of. Second, you started to talk about a recovery in the fourth quarter and the winter season being the next test for Mexican traffic. Do you have any visibility today as to how the winter season is looking? I don't know if it's early, but vis-à-vis other years, either bookings or just conversations with the airlines. Thank you.
In the case of insurance, it is not one time. Basically, and let me give you the number, the cost of the insurance increased by 39%. It is going to be there. It is not going to change. In terms of the recovery, yes, we have some information using the database of the seats that are published by the airlines, and we see some increase in comparison with last year for November and December this year. The winter season.
Great. Thank you.
The beginning of the winter season.
Thanks.
As a reminder, if you have a question, please press star then one. We will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. Thank you. Our next question is a follow-up from Gabriel Himelfarb with Scotiabank. Please proceed with your question.
Hi. Hi again. Just a quick question. Did you mention that the new terminal at the JFK will be on the third quarter 2027? I think I didn't get well, for the new terminal in Cancun, it's fourth quarter this year? Thank you.
Gabriel. Yes. Terminal 1 in Cancun, fourth quarter this year. New Terminal 1 at JFK, first quarter next year.
Okay. Thank you.
You're welcome.
Again, if you have a question, please press star then one. One moment while we assemble our roster. Thank you. That concludes our question and answer portion of today's conference call. I would like to turn the call back over to Mr. Barlow for closing remarks.
Thank you, Christine. We would like to thank you all again for joining us on today's call. We look forward to speaking to you again in the next quarter, and have a nice day. Thank you very much.
Ladies and gentlemen, that concludes ASUR's second quarter 2026 results conference call. We would like to thank you again for your participation. You may now disconnect.

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 from construction of, 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, as an alternative to cash flow or 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 of, 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 of, 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, as an alternative to cash flow or as an indicator of liquidity and is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Release Date: April 23, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Total passenger traffic increased by 1.9% year-on-year, driven by strong growth in Colombia and stabilization in Mexico. The integration of ASR's US airports contributed to non-aeronautical revenues, with expectations for further improvement as the platform scales. The company is focused on completing the Motiva transaction, which will significantly expand its footprint and reinforce long-term growth. Commercial revenues increased nearly 7%, reflecting new commercial operations in the U.S. and organic growth in Colombia. ASR's balance sheet shows significant flexibility for growth with a net debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.8 times. Traffic trends were negatively affected by security-related events in Mexico and TSA-related disruptions in the U.S., impacting Puerto Rico. Total revenues increased only 0.2% year-on-year, with aeronautical revenues declining due to FX conversion impacts and lower traffic in Puerto Rico. Consolidated EBITDA margin declined nearly 600 basis points to 64.1% year-on-year, reflecting the ramp-up of U.S. operations and amortization changes in Colombia. Net majority income declined 20% year-on-year due to higher depreciation, amortization, and increased interest expenses. Operational costs increased by 25% year-on-year, driven by the integration of U.S. operations and inflationary pressures. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 7 Warning Signs with CIVB.

Q: Could you elaborate on the investments in Colombia and any potential amendments to the concession agreement? A: Adolfo Castro, CEO, stated that an amendment was signed to allow investments of 165 billion Colombian pesos to improve service levels at the Medellin airport. This will extend the regulated revenue period to the end of 2027. Q: How does the appreciation of the Mexican peso affect maximum tariffs and expenses? A: Adolfo Castro, CEO, explained that maximum tariffs are based on pesos per passenger, so adjustments are made accordingly. There were also one-time expenses related to the U.S. acquisition, including professional fees and adjustments from the previous year. Q: What is the outlook for commercial revenues and passenger profiles, particularly in Puerto Rico? A: Adolfo Castro, CEO, highlighted that TSA delays in Puerto Rico affected commercial revenues, but there is no significant change in passenger spending behavior. The peso's appreciation against the dollar also impacted results. For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript.
