Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico Announces Results for the Third Quarter of 2021

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, Oct. 27, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: PAC; BMV: GAP) (“the Company” or “GAP”) reported its consolidated results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021 (3Q21) (at the end of this report, tables are presented comparing passenger traffic and consolidated results for 2021 compared to 2019, in order to illustrate the recovery of these metrics and their trend). Figures are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).

COVID-19 Impact

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (9M21), passenger traffic increased 57.9% as compared to the same period of 2020 and decreased 16.1% as compared to 2019, demonstrating a better-than-expected recovery, despite continuing restrictions on international travel. The Canadian Government reopened non-essential flights beginning on September 7 for passengers meeting certain eligibility requirements including being fully vaccinated and presenting a negative COVID-19 PCR test. For its part, the United States Government announced that beginning in November it would begin gradually reopening land-border crossings to fully vaccinated individuals, this could bring a positive result for the Tijuana airport.

Company measures during 3Q21:

• The Company continued supporting commercial clients during the quarter by granting discounts on guaranteed minimum rent amounts in accordance with the percentage decrease in passenger traffic at each airport as compared to 3Q19, while maintaining our revenue share. With regards to support for the airlines, the Company continued its incentive program in accordance with the reactivation of routes and frequencies that were held prior to the pandemic.
  

• Operating cost control measures were maintained; however, because of the trend in passenger traffic during 3Q21, we have gradually increased certain costs such as maintenance, security, personnel, cleaning services, among others related with the quality and passenger experience.
  

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

During 3Q21, results were significantly better as compared to 3Q20. The Company generated positive EBITDA of Ps. 3,098.4 million as a result of a 72.5% increase in total revenues and an increase in cost of services of 16.8%.

In 3Q21, operating activities continued generating positive cash flow. The Company reported a financial position of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2021, of Ps. 10,650.8 million (30.0% lower than the 3Q20 balance). During 3Q21, the Company made a capital reduction payment of Ps. 7.80 per share outstanding for a total of Ps. 4,014.7 million and a maturity payment on the “GAP16” debt securities of Ps. 1,500.0 million from the proceeds of the issuance of debt securities during 2Q21. Additionally, Ps. 1,151.3 million in share repurchases were made during 3Q21.

In 3Q21, the Company performed an assessment of the portfolio risk of our airlines and commercial clients in terms of liquidity. Because of this assessment, the Company recognized a reserve provision of Ps. 11.6 million for expected credit losses in costs of operation.

During 3Q21, the Company continued evaluating the possible adverse impacts of the pandemic on its financial condition and operating results. The Company also reviewed key indicators and impairment tests of significant long-term assets, expected credit losses and recovery of assets due to deferred taxes. In this evaluation, the Company reviewed financial results for the short, medium, and long term, concluding that a significant deterioration of the Company’s assets is not expected. As such, the Company does not foresee a business interruption or closing operations at any of its airports. However, the Company cannot ensure that the negative effect of the pandemic will continue decreasing in the coming quarter, nor can it ensure that local and global economic conditions will improve. The Company can also not predict the availability of financing, or what general credit conditions will be. The Company will continue to monitor the pandemic’s adverse effects on the results of operations and will continue informing the market in a timely manner regarding future material updates on airport operations and the measures adopted for preserving liquidity and ensuring business continuity.

  1. Revenues at the Company’s Mexican airports increased by Ps. 1,497.6 million or 110.5% compared to 3Q20, mainly as a result of the 96.5% increase in passenger traffic and the adjustment in maximum rates.
     
     

  2. Revenues from the Montego Bay airport increased by Ps. 225.5 million, or 274.5%, compared to 3Q20. This was mainly due to the 357.9% increase in passenger traffic. The passenger traffic increase was partially offset by the 9.5% appreciation of the peso versus the U.S. dollar during 3Q21, which went from an average exchange rate of Ps. 22.1055 in 3Q20 to Ps. 20.0092 in 3Q21.
     
     

  3. Revenues from the Kingston airport increased by Ps. 66.4 million, or 74.4% compared to 3Q20, mainly due to a 124.9% increase in passenger traffic. The appreciation of the peso versus the dollar partially offset the increase in passenger traffic.
     
     

• The change in non-aeronautical services revenues was composed primarily of the following factors :
  
  

  1. The Company’s revenues from the Mexican airports increased by Ps. 499.2 million, or 135.7%, compared to 3Q20. Revenues from businesses operated by third parties increased by Ps. 353.7 million. This was mainly due to the recovery of passenger traffic that resulted in the gradual phase-out of discounts to our tenants. The business lines that increased the most were food and beverage, duty-free stores, retail, car rentals, time shares and ground transportation, which jointly increased by Ps. 329.3 million, or 180.0%.

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

Total operating costs increased by Ps. 230.6 million, or 9.3%, compared to 3Q20, mainly due to a Ps. 266.0 million, or 113.3%, increase in concession taxes and technical assistance fees, and a Ps. 109.1 million, or 16.8% increase in cost of services. This increase was partially offset by a Ps. 158.2 million, or 14.4%, decrease in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12). Excluding the cost of improvements to concession assets, operating costs increased Ps. 388.8 million, or 28.1%. This was composed primarily of the following factors:

Mexican Airports:

• Operating costs increased by Ps. 173.5 million, or 8.4%, compared to 3Q20, primarily due to a combined Ps. 184.1 million, or 127.9%, increase in technical assistance fees and concession taxes, a Ps. 115.4 million, or 24.3%, increase in cost of services and a Ps. 23.6 million, or 6.3%, increase in depreciation and amortization. This increase was partially offset by a Ps. 151.8 million, or 14.1%, decrease in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12). Excluding this cost, operating costs increased by Ps. 325.3 million or 32.9%.
  

The increase in the cost of services during 3Q21 was mainly due to:

• Maintenance costs increased by Ps. 51.4 million, or 83.5%, compared to 3Q20.

• Employee costs increased Ps. 24.1 million, or 11.8%, compared to 3Q20, mainly due to the recognition of labor provisions in accordance with the Labor Reform Law and the hiring of additional personnel as required for airport operations due to the recovery of passenger traffic.

• Safety, security and insurance costs increased Ps. 23.9 million, or 35.7%, compared to 3Q20, mainly due to an increase in the number of security staff as compared to 3Q20 when the partial closure of some operating areas reduced the need for personnel.

• Utilities increased by Ps. 12.3 million or 19.4%, compared to 3Q20.

Montego Bay Airport:

• Operating costs increased by Ps. 18.7 million, or 7.3%, compared to 3Q20, mainly due to a Ps. 36.8 million, or 281.1%, increase in concession taxes. The increase was partially offset by a Ps. 6.3 million, or 30.1%, decrease in cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12), a Ps. 12.9 million, or 9.8%, decrease in depreciation and amortization as a result of the 9.5% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar.
  

Kingston Airport:

• Operating costs increased by Ps. 38.4 million, or 24.1% compared to 3Q20, mainly due to a Ps. 45.1 million, or 58.0%, increase in concession taxes and was partially offset by a Ps. 6.9 million, or 8.7%, decrease in the cost of services.
  

Operating margin went from 19.1% in 3Q20 to 48.8% in 3Q21. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, operating margin went from 29.7% to 59.3% in 3Q21. Operating income increased Ps. 1,994.2 million, or 340.2%, compared to 3Q20.

EBITDA margin went from 35.6% in 3Q20 to 58.5% in 3Q21. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, EBITDA margin went from 55.6% in 3Q20 to 71.3% in 3Q21. The nominal value of EBITDA increased Ps. 2,005.2 million, or 183.4%, compared to 3Q20.

Financial cost decreased by Ps. 27.2 million, or 11.3%, from a net expense of Ps. 241.2 million in 3Q20 to a net expense of Ps. 214.0 million in 3Q21. This decrease was mainly the result of:

• Foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which went from income of Ps. 12.4 million in 3Q20 to income of Ps. 87.6 million in 3Q21. This generated an increase in the foreign exchange gain of Ps. 75.2 million. The currency translation effect income increased Ps. 188.5 million, compared to 3Q20.
  
  

• An increase in interest expenses of Ps. 22.5 million, or 5.9%, compared to 3Q20, mainly due to higher debt as a result of the issuance of long-term bonds.
  
  

• Interest income decreased by Ps. 25.5 million, or 20.1%, compared to 3Q20, mainly due to a decrease in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents during 3Q21 as compared to 3Q20.
  

In 3Q21, comprehensive income increased Ps. 1,743.0 million, or 641.5%, compared to 3Q20. This increase was mainly due to the Ps. 2,021.3 million increase in profit before taxes derived from the significant increase in passenger traffic, as well as the Ps. 188.5 million increase in currency translation effect. This increase was partially offset by an increase in income taxes of Ps. 594.0 million.

During 3Q21, net income increased by Ps. 1,427.3 million, or 405.0%, compared to 3Q20. Income taxes increased by Ps. 487.7 million and the benefit for deferred taxes decreased by Ps. 106.3 million, mainly due to the application of tax losses in Ps. 62.9 million and a decrease in the inflation rate, that went from 1.7% in 3Q20 to 1.5% in 3Q21.

• Utilities increased by Ps. 10.2 million or 5.9%, compared to the same period of 2020.

• These increases were partially offset by a decrease in Other operating expenses of Ps. 65.8 million or 21.2%, compared to the same period of 2020, mainly due to a Ps. 85.1 million combined decrease in the allowance for credit losses, sanitation supplies, the purchase of supplies and donations to the medical sector for the prevention of COVID-19, professional services, and publicity. This decrease was partially offset by a combined increase of Ps. 24.1 million in the cost of goods and services for our VIP lounges and convenience stores, FBO services, among others.

Montego Bay Airport:

• Operating costs decreased by Ps. 159.1 million, or 16.2%, compared to the same period of 2020, mainly due to a Ps. 72.1 million, or 37.5%, decrease in concession taxes, a Ps. 44.4 million, or 44.3%, decrease in the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12), a Ps. 23.0 million, or 6.0%, decrease in depreciation and amortization and a Ps. 17.2 million, or 5.8%, decrease in the cost of services.
  

Kingston Airport:

• The consolidation of the airport generated an increase in operating costs of Ps. 12.7 million during the January to September period of 2021, mainly due to a Ps. 45.8 million, or 19.4%, increase in concession taxes and partially offset by a Ps. 33.8 million, or 15.4%, decrease in the cost of services, primarily as a result of a Ps. 23.0 million, or 50.5%, decrease in other operating expenses in the allowance for credit losses.
  

Operating margin went from 26.9% in the period from January to September 2020 to 44.3% in the same period of 2021. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, operating margin went from 36.7% in the 2020 period to 55.7% in the same period of 2021. Operating income increased Ps. 3,562.1 million, or 139.2%, compared to the 2020 period.

• Foreign exchange rate fluctuations went from income of Ps. 199.5 million during the period from January to September 2020 to income of Ps. 205.2 million during the same period of 2021. This generated an increase in the foreign exchange gain of Ps. 5.7 million. Currency translation effect income also decreased by 1,247.8 million as compared to the 2020 period due to the fact that the exchange rate as of September 30, 2020, closed at Ps. 22.4573 as compared to Ps. 20.3060 as of September 30, 2021, an appreciation by the peso of 9.6%.
  
  

• An increase in interest expense of Ps. 94.8 million, or 8.6%, compared to the 2020 period, mainly due to higher debt as a result of the issuance of long-term bonds issued during 2021.
  
  

• Interest income decreased by Ps. 43.1 million, or 12.7%, compared to the 2020 period, mainly due to a decrease in the average balance of cash and cash equivalents during the 2021 period.

Comprehensive income increased Ps. 2,142.0 million, or 86.0% compared to the 2020 period. This increase was mainly due to a Ps. 3,429.9 million increase in profit before taxes and a Ps. 693.9 million increase in the cash flow hedge reserve. This increase was partially offset by a Ps. 1,247.8 million decrease in currency translation effect.

Net income increased Ps. 2,663.0 million, or 168.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Income taxes increased by Ps. 766.9 million, or 185.3%, as a result of a Ps. 819.8 million increase in current income taxes and a Ps. 52.9 million increase in the benefit for deferred taxes, mainly due to the application of tax losses of Ps. 142.2 million and partially offset by an increase in the inflation rate, that went from 2.1% in the 2020 period to 4.9% during the same period of 2021.

Statement of Financial Position

Total assets as of September 30, 2021, decreased by Ps. 3,085.9 million as compared to September 30, 2020, primarily due to the following items: (i) a Ps. 4,569.6 million decrease in cash and cash equivalents and ii) a Ps. 784.3 million decrease in the value of concession assets (due to the valuation of the Jamaica concessions in U.S. dollars and the appreciation of the peso).
