For Immediate Release
CORRECTION: ASUR 2Q10 PASSENGER TRAFFIC UP 26.75% YOY
México D.F., July 26, 2010 Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:ASR; BMV:ASUR),
(ASUR) the first privatized airport group in Mexico and operator of Cancún Airport and eight other
airports in southeast Mexico, today announced a correction to its results for the three and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2010.
ASURs 2010 second quarter earning release filed with the SEC on July 23, 2010 included minor
errors resulting in an overstatement of Ps.79.29 million in cash and cash equivalents and an
understatement of Ps.79.29 million in short-term investments, arising from a reclassification of
investments entered into for a period longer than 90 days. Additionally, ASUR reclassified a
guaranteed deposit from a long term liability to a short-term liability, resulting in an increase
in current liabilities of Ps.31.5 million as of June 30, 2010 and Ps.25.0 million as of June 30,
2009 and a corresponding decrease in long-term liabilities. There was also a change in the fourth
paragraph under the section heading Balance Sheet, the figure Ps.181.82 million should read
Ps.187.60 million. These errors resulted in no difference to ASURs total assets or stockholders
equity.
2Q10 Highlights1:
|
|
EBITDA2 increased by 40.88% to Ps.564.79 million |
|
|
|
Total passenger traffic was up 26.75% |
|
|
|
Total revenues increased by 32.52% due to increases of 34.14% in aeronautical revenues and
29.55% in non-aeronautical revenues |
|
|
|
Commercial revenues per passenger increased by 3.16% to Ps.61.17 |
|
|
|
Operating profit rose by 70.16% |
|
|
|
EBITDA margin increased to 62.83% compared with 59.10% in 2Q09 |

Unless otherwise stated, all financial figures discussed in this announcement are unaudited,
prepared in accordance with Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) and represent
comparisons between the three-month period ended June 30, 2010, and the equivalent three-month
period ended June 30, 2009. Results are expressed in nominal pesos. Tables state figures in
thousands of pesos, unless otherwise noted. Passenger |

figures exclude transit and general
aviation passengers. Commercial revenues include
revenues from non-permanent ground transportation and parking lots. All U.S. dollar figures are
calculated at the exchange rate of US$1 = Ps.12.8441. |

EBITDA means net income before: provision for taxes, deferred taxes, deferred employees
profit sharing, non-ordinary items, comprehensive financing cost and depreciation and
amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator
of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity.
Our management believes that EBITDA provides a useful measure of our performance 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 MFRS and may be calculated differently by
different companies. |
Passenger Traffic
For the second quarter of 2010, total passenger traffic increased year-over-year by 26.75%. This
was mainly as a result of reduced traffic in the second quarter of 2009 because of the outbreak of
A/H1N1 influenza in Mexico, announced on April 28, 2009, and the global recession. International
passenger traffic increased 37.79% and domestic passenger traffic increased 13.76%.
The 37.79% increase in international passenger traffic resulted mainly from an increase of 39.79%
in international traffic at the Cancún airport. The 13.76% increase in domestic passenger traffic
was principally due to increases of 16.14%, 21.40%, 21.54%, 8.90%, 1.57%, 7.89% and 2.45% in
domestic traffic at the Cancún, Mérida, Veracruz, Huatulco, Villahermosa, Minatitlán and Oaxaca and
airports, respectively.
Passenger traffic for 1H10 increased 8.83% compared to 1H09, reflecting increases of 11.37% in
international passenger traffic and 4.77% in domestic passenger traffic.
ASUR 2Q10, Page 2 of 16
Consolidated Results for 2Q10
Total revenues for 2Q10 increased year-over-year by 32.52% to Ps.899.0 million. This was mainly due
to increases of:
|
|
|
34.14% in revenues from aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 26.75%
increase in passenger traffic; and |
|
|
|
|
29.55% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, reflecting the 30.85% increase in
commercial revenues detailed below. |
ASUR classifies commercial revenues as those derived from the following activities: duty-free
stores, car rentals, retail operations, banking and currency exchange services, advertising,
teleservices, non-permanent ground transportation, food and beverage, and parking lot fees.
Commercial revenues increased by 30.85% year-over-year during the quarter, principally due to
higher passenger traffic. There were increases in revenues in the following activities:
|
|
|
40.00% in duty-free stores; |
ASUR 2Q10, Page 3 of 16
|
|
|
34.62% in advertising; |
|
|
|
|
43.44% in food and beverage; |
|
|
|
|
31.30% in other revenues; |
|
|
|
|
18.73% in car rentals; |
|
|
|
|
49.23% in ground transportation; |
|
|
|
|
22.01% in retail operations; and |
|
|
|
|
95.39% in banking and currency exchange services. |
These increases were partially offset by revenue declines of:
|
|
|
24.55% in teleservices; and |
|
|
|
|
0.26% in parking lot fees. |
New Retail and Other Commercial Space
ASUR 2Q10, Page 4 of 16
Total operating costs and expenses for 2Q10 increased 11.47% year-over-year. This was
primarily due to the following increases:
|
|
|
53.01% in administrative expenses, principally in labor costs resulting from the
reassignment of employees from certain operating areas of Cancún airport to corporate in
3Q09 (the labor costs of employees assigned to corporate are charged to administrative
expenses rather than cost of services); |
|
|
|
|
12.58% in cost of services, mainly reflecting higher energy costs, professional fees,
maintenance costs, and participacion in trade shows. These increases were partially offset
by lower labor costs due to the reassignment in 3Q09 of employees from certain operating
areas at Cancún airport to corporate; |
|
|
|
|
40.88% in the technical assistance fee paid to ITA, reflecting the increase in EBITDA
for the quarter (a factor in the calculation of the fee); and |
|
|
|
|
28.03% in concession fees paid to the Mexican government, mainly due to an increase in
the taxable base (a factor in the calculation of the fee). |
|
|
|
|
These increases were partially offset by a 4.31% decline in depreciation and
amortization resulting from the difference between new investment in fixed assets,
improvements made to concession assets and the end of their useful life. |
Operating margin for the quarter increased to 46.05% from 35.86% in 2Q09. This was mainly the
result of the 32.52% increase in revenues, which more than offset the 12.58% increase in cost of
services.
Comprehensive Financing Cost for 2Q10 increased year-over-year by Ps.33.49 million. During 2Q09,
ASUR reported an exchange rate loss of Ps.24.3 million and interest income of Ps.9.3 million.
During 2Q10, the Company reported an exchage rate gain of Ps.15.0 million and net interest income
of Ps.3.4 million. Net interest income in 2Q10 resulted from interest income of Ps.13.0 million,
accrued interest expenses of Ps.8.6 million, and a mark-to-market loss in its interest rate swap of
Ps.1.0 million.
Income Taxes. Following the changes in Mexican tax law that took effect January 1, 2008, which
established a new flat rate business tax (Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica, or IETU) and
eliminated the asset tax, the Company evaluated and reviewed its deferred assets and liabilities
position under Mexican Financial Reporting Standards.
Income taxes for 2Q10 increased by 29.77%, or Ps.30.46 million year -over-year, principally due to
the following factors:
|
|
During 2Q10, ASURs subsidiaries that pay IETU made provisional tax payments of Ps.90.1
million. Of these payments, Ps.3.0 million was |
ASUR 2Q10, Page 5 of 16
|
|
recorded as an expense and Ps.87.1 million, which resulted mainly from income tax from Cancún
airport during the quarter, was recorded as an asset since ASUR expects that under the current
tax law it will recover or credit these taxes against future income taxes, because Cancun
airport will cause income taxes in 2010 |
|
|
An Ps.87.8 million increase in the provision for income taxes in 2Q10, principally
reflecting that, since 2010, Cancún airport pays income tax rather than IETU. |
|
|
|
A Ps.42.4 million decline in deferred income taxes during 2Q10 as a result of the
recognition of the tax loss carry-forward at Cancún airport since it began generating deferred
income taxes in 2010. |
Net income for 2Q10 increased 136.84% to Ps.297.09 million from Ps.125.44 million in 2Q09. Earnings
per common share for the quarter were Ps.0.9903, or earnings per ADS (EPADS) of US$0.7710 (one ADS
represents ten series B common shares). This compares with earnings per share of Ps.0.4181, or
EPADS of US$0.3255, for the same period last year.
ASUR 2Q10, Page 6 of 16
Consolidated Results for the First Half of 2010
Total revenues for 1H10 increased year-over-year by 12.41% to Ps.1,869.4 million. This was mainly
due to the following increases:
|
|
13.28% in revenues from aeronautical services as a result of the 8.83% increase
in passenger traffic during the period; and |
|
|
|
10.78% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally as a result of the
10.30% rise in commercial revenues detailed below. |
Commercial revenues for 1H10 rose by 10.30% year-over-year, principally as a result of revenue
increases in the following areas:
|
|
|
7.02% in duty-free stores; |
|
|
|
|
14.74% in food and beverage; |
|
|
|
|
11.86% in retail operations; |
|
|
|
|
68.88% in banking and currency exchange services; |
|
|
|
|
17.16% in car rentals; |
|
|
|
|
9.08% in other income; and |
|
|
|
|
25.71% in ground transportation services. |
These increases were partially offset by revenue declines in the following areas:
|
|
|
5.70% in parking lot fees; |
|
|
|
|
9.16% in advertising; and |
|
|
|
|
23.07% in teleservices. |
ASUR 2Q10, Page 7 of 16
Total operating costs and expenses for 1H10 rose 6.36%, mainly due to the following increases:
|
|
|
45.43% in administrative expenses, principally labor costs, resulting from
the reassignment of employees from certain operating areas to corporate, and higher
professional fees; and |
|
|
|
|
4.88% in cost of services, mainly reflecting higher energy cost and equipment
leases. These increases were partially offset by lower labor costs resulting from the
reassignment of employees from certain operating areas to corporate; |
|
|
|
|
13.26% in technical assistance costs, reflecting the corresponding increase
in EBITDA during the period; and |
|
|
|
|
14.26% in concession fees, mainly due to higher revenues. |
These increases were partially offset by a 1.71% decline in depreciation and amortization resulting
from the difference between new investment in fixed assets, improvements made to concession assets
and the end of their useful life.
Operating margin increased to 49.23% for 1H10, from 46.34% for 1H09. This was mainly the result of
a 12.41% increase in revenues.
Net income for 1H10 increased by 43.96% to Ps.672.55 million. Earnings per common share for the
period were Ps.2.2418, or earnings per ADS (EPADS) of US$1.7454 (one ADS represents ten series B
common shares). This compares with Ps.1.5572, or EPADS of US$1.2124, for the same period last
year.
ASUR 2Q10, Page 8 of 16
Tariff Regulation
The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation regulates the majority of ASURs
activities by setting maximum rates, which represent the maximum possible revenues allowed per
traffic unit at each airport.
ASURs regulated revenues for 2Q10 were Ps.1,331.62 million, resulting in an annual average tariff
per workload unit of Ps.143.81. ASURs regulated revenues accounted for approximately 71.23% of
total income for the period.
ASUR 2Q10, Page 9 of 16
The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation reviews compliance with the maximum
rates on an annual basis at the close of each year.
Balance Sheet
On June 30, 2010, Airport Facility Usage Rights and Airport Concessions represented 79.94% of the
Companys total assets, with current assets representing 12.51% and other assets representing
7.55%.
Cash and marketable securities on June 30, 2010 were Ps.590.69 million, 39.31% below the Ps.973.32
million on June 30, 2009. This was mainly the result of a Ps.750.00 million cash dividend paid in
2Q10 and principal payments of Ps.309.09 million on bank loans.
Shareholders equity at the close of 2Q10 was Ps.13,780.24 million and total liabilities were
Ps.2,789.35 million, representing 83.17% and 16.83% of total assets, respectively. Total deferred
liabilities represented 76.38% of the Companys total liabilities.
Total bank debt at June 30, 2010 was Ps.187.60 million, including Ps.5.8 million in accrued
interest. During the quarter ASUR made principal payments of Ps.309.09 million in connection with
the Ps.750 million three-year credit agreement with a group of three banks.
During August 2009 ASUR purchased a hedge against the risk of a significant increase in TIIE. The
Company is hedged for 100% of the interest rate exposure under its Ps.750 million credit agreement.
The interest rate was fixed for three years at 6.37%, 6.33% and 6.21% with each of the three banks,
respectively. The cost of the interest rate hedge during the quarter was Ps.1.0 million.
Capital Expenditures
During 2Q10, ASUR made investments of Ps.123.36 million as part of ASURs ongoing plan to modernize
its airports pursuant to its master development plans.
Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2009, the Mexican Council for the Investigation and Development of Financial
Information Norms, or CINIF, issued a series of Financial Reporting Standards (NIFs) and
Interpretations to the Financial Reporting Standards (INIFs) which went into effect for reporting
periods starting January 1, 2010, with the exception of INIF 18 which went into effect
ASUR 2Q10, Page 10 of 16
on December 7, 2009, and NIFs B-5 and B-9, which will become effective from January 1, 2011. ASUR
believes that these NIFs and INIFs will not have a significant impact on the Companys financial
information with the exception of INIF 17, which addresses the accounting standards to be applied
to concession contracts. ASUR is in the process of determining the applicability and impact of this
INIF.
In 2009, the Mexican Council for Research and Development of Financial Reporting Standards (Consejo
Mexicano de Investigación y Desarrollo de Normas de Información Financiera or CINIF) issued INIF17
Service Concession Contracts regarding the accounting treatment of concession contracts. As of
June 30, 2010, ASURs management is reviewing its applicability and assessing any possible effects
that it may have on the Companys financial statements.
