Unless otherwise stated, all financial figures discussed in this announcement are unaudited, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and represent comparisons between the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, and the equivalent three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2014. Results are expressed in 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$1.00 = Ps.15.6854.

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

Commercial revenue from direct operations per passenger (1)	17.45	15.35	(12.03)
Commercial revenue per passenger (excluding direct operations)	55.58	66.40	19.47

Note: For purposes of this table, approximately 44,610 and 45,500 transit and general aviation passengers are included in 2Q14 and 2Q15, respectively.

(1)

Revenues from direct commercial operations represent ASUR’s operation of convenience stores in airports, as well as the direct sale of advertising space until April 30, 2015, date in which it was concessioned to a third party.

 

Construction revenues and expenses. ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line reflecting the income from construction or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. During 2Q15, ASUR recognized Ps.524.62 million in revenues from “Construction Services,” a year-on-year increase of 1,058.67% reflecting higher capital expenditures in concessioned assets. 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 Expenses 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 results from an increase in Construction Revenues does not result in a corresponding increase in EBITDA.

 

Total operating costs and expenses for 2Q15 rose 91.10% year-over-year, primarily due to the following increases:

 

·

1,058.67% in construction costs, reflecting higher levels of capital improvements made to concessioned assets during the period;

 

·

6.18% in cost of services, mainly due to higher professional and software license fees and maintenance expenses as well as the increase in cost of sales derived from the convenience stores directly operated by ASUR.

 

·

21.08% in concession fees paid to the Mexican government, mainly due to an increase in regulated revenues (a factor in the calculation of the fee);

 

·

3.27% in depreciation and amortization, resulting mainly from capitalized investments;

 

·

29.24% 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

 

·

4.95% in administrative expenses, principally reflecting higher travel, marketing and office lease expenses.

 

Table V: Operating Costs and Expenses for 2Q15

	2Q14	2Q15	% Change
Cost of Services	270,993	287,745	6.18
Construction Costs	45,278	524,624	1,058.67

Depreciation and Amortization	112,721	116,412	3.27
TOTAL	579,567	1,107,578	91.10

 

 

Operating margin for the quarter was 47.77% compared with 56.77% in 2Q14, reflecting increases of 91.10% in expenses and 58.17% in revenues.

 

Comprehensive Financing Gain (Loss) for 2Q15 was a Ps.16.60 million loss, compared to an Ps.11.01 million gain in 2Q14. This was mainly the result of a Ps.30.5 million foreign exchange loss in 2Q15 due to the 2.04% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar on ASUR’s foreign currency net liability position as compared to an appreciation of 0.93% in 2Q14 that resulted in a Ps.7.34 million gain.

 

 

In addition, in 2Q15 ASUR recognized an Ps.11.41 million gain in stockholders’ equity resulting from the translation effect of Aerostar’s financial statements (which are denominated in U.S. dollars), in connection with the valuation of the stockholders’ equity derived from the depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar.

Income (Loss) from Equity Investment in Joint Venture

 

During 2Q15, our equity in the income of Aerostar, our joint venture with Highstar Capital IV and its affiliated funds, was a net gain of Ps.21.68 million. In addition, ASUR recorded a Ps.11.41 million gain in stockholders’ equity resulting from the translation effect of Aerostar’s financial statements (which are denominated in U.S. dollars), in connection with the valuation of the shareholders’ equity derived from the depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar in 2Q15. In 2Q14, ASUR reported a net gain of Ps.21.89 million from our equity in the income of Aerostar and a Ps.9.07 million loss in stockholders’ equity resulting from the translation effect of Aerostar’s financial statements in connection with the valuation of the shareholders’ equity derived from the appreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar.

 

During 2Q15, total passenger traffic at SJU airport increased 0.86% to 2,279,814 from 2,260,472 in 2Q14.

 

 

Income Taxes

 

On January 1, 2014, a comprehensive Income Tax Law reform package entered into effect, repealing the IETU tax and causing the cancellation of deferred IETU. As a result, ASUR completed a financial valuation of its subsidiaries that were subject to this tax and now must recognize a deferred income tax.

 

Income taxes for 2Q15 increased by Ps.45.81 million year-over-year, principally due to the following factors:

 

·         A Ps.63.41 million increase in the provision for income taxes, reflecting a higher taxable income base at the Veracruz and Cancun airports.

 

·         A Ps.17.60 million decline in deferred income taxes reflecting the recognition of the effects of inflation in the fiscal tax balance.

 

Net income for 2Q15 increased by 32.11% to Ps.732.90 million from Ps.554.75 million in 2Q14. Earnings per common share for the quarter were Ps.2.4430, or earnings per ADS (EPADS) of US$1.5575 (one ADS represents ten series B common shares). This compares with earnings per share of Ps.1.8492, or EPADS of US$1.1789 for the same period last year. This principally reflects the 14.27% increase in passenger traffic. During 2Q15, ASUR reported a Ps.21.68 million gain corresponding to its participation in Aerostar, the joint venture to operate SJU airport, compared to a gain of Ps.21.89 million in the same period in 2014.

Consolidated Results for 1H15

 

Total revenues for 1H15 increased year-over-year by 43.81% to Ps.3,917.03 million, mainly due to the following increases:

 

 

·

·

22.52% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 23.26% increase in commercial revenues detailed below; and

 

·

981.41% in construction services due to higher capital investments made during the period.

 

 

 

Commercial revenues for 1H15 rose by 23.26% year-over-year, principally as a result of revenue increases in the following areas:

·         25.67% in retail operations;

* For purposes of this table, approximately 93,500 and 103,000 transit and general aviation passengers are included for 1H14 and 1H15, respectively.

 

(1)

Revenues from direct commercial operations represent ASUR’s operation of convenience stores in airports, as well as the direct sale of advertising space until April 30, 2015, date in which it was concessioned to a third party.

 

Total operating costs and expenses for 1H15 rose by 66.86% year-on-year, primarily due to the following increases:

 

·

981.41% in construction costs, reflecting higher committed improvements made to concessioned assets during the period;

 

 

·         5.98% in cost of services, principally due to software license and professional fees, higher maintenance and security and office lease expenses. The increase also reflects higher cost of sales derived from the increase in sales at convenience stores directly operated by ASUR;

 

·

19.92% in concession fees, mainly due to the increase in regulated revenues (a factor in the calculation of the fee);

 

·         24.52% in technical assistance costs, reflecting the corresponding increase in EBITDA during the period;

 

·

2.83% in depreciation and amortization, resulting mainly from higher capitalized investments; and

 

·         17.31% in administrative expenses, principally lower professional fees in 1H14 resulting from the reversal of the expense provision in connection with the Master Development Plan. Higher marketing expenses in connection with participation at international fairs and office leases also contributed to the increase.

Depreciation and Amortization	225,756	232,137	2.83
TOTAL	1,124,709	1,876,682	66.86

 

Operating margin was 52.09% in 1H15 compared with 58.71% in 1H14. This was mainly the result of the 66.86% increase in operating expenses which more than offset the 43.81% increase in revenues for the period.

 

Comprehensive Financing Gain (Loss) for 1H15 was a Ps.35.09 million loss, compared to a Ps.13.51 million gain in 1H14, principally due to a Ps.65.67 million foreign exchange loss in 1H15 resulting from the impact of the 6.40% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the period on ASUR’s foreign currency net liability position. This compares with a Ps.6.94 million foreign exchange gain in 1H14 resulting from the impact of the 0.86% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the period on ASUR’s foreign currency net liability position.

 

 

In addition, ASUR recorded a Ps.105.94 million gain in stockholders’ equity resulting from the translation effect of Aerostar’s financial statements (which are denominated in U.S. dollars), in connection with the valuation of the capital stock derived from the depreciation of the peso against the U.S. dollar.

 

Interest income increased by Ps.27.96 million year-on-year reflecting the higher cash balance during the period. Interest expense increased by Ps.3.94 million, reflecting the disbursement of loans secured from BBVA Bancomer and Merrill Lynch in February 2013.
