CEO Message

Commenting on the results for the quarter Mr. Martín Eurnekian, CEO of Corporación América Airports, noted: “We delivered a strong second quarter, with broad-based traffic growth, double-digit increases in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, and meaningful EBITDA margin expansion, reflecting the strength of our diversified portfolio and disciplined execution. Total traffic increased nearly 14% year-over-year, reaching close to 21 million passengers. Argentina led the performance, reaching a second-quarter record with double-digit increases in both international and domestic travel, supported by sustained demand recovery and multiple route additions. Brazil delivered double-digit growth, while Italy, Uruguay and Armenia also posted solid gains, and Ecuador remained broadly stable.

“Revenues ex-IFRIC12 increased nearly 19% year-over-year, well ahead of traffic growth, driven by aeronautical revenues in line with traffic trends and continued strength in commercial revenues. Adjusted EBITDA ex-IFRIC12 rose 23% with margin expansion of 140 basis points to 38.6%, supported by operating leverage and disciplined cost control in key markets. Argentina, Armenia, Italy and Uruguay all posted strong EBITDA gains, as did Brazil when excluding a one-time item from 2Q24.

“We continue to advance our commercial initiatives, aimed at growing non-aeronautical revenues and enhancing the passenger experience. In Argentina, we inaugurated the expanded duty-free arrivals area at Ezeiza Airport in May, increasing space from 700 to 1,100 square meters. In Brazil, construction of the shopping mall at Brasília Airport is progressing on schedule, with opening targeted for April 2026, alongside other real estate initiatives.

“On the strategic front, our priority is to create long-term value through targeted investments and growth opportunities. In Argentina, we are progressing with the AA2000 concession economic re-equilibrium process, while in Italy we secured environmental approval from the Region of Tuscany for the Florence Airport Master Plan in April, an important milestone ahead of execution. In Armenia, we are moving forward with the Capex program approvals to expand Yerevan Airport.

“On the new business front, we are waiting official resolution from the government of Montenegro and are actively pursuing opportunities in Latin America, Iraq, Angola, and M&A initiatives, among others.

“Looking ahead, we expect positive traffic momentum in Argentina to continue, while strong summer seasons are anticipated in both Italy and Armenia.”

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures

This announcement includes certain references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction service, as well as Net Debt:

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income for the period before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.

Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service (“Adjusted EBITDA ex-IFRIC”) is defined as income for the period before construction services revenue and cost, financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction Service (“Adjusted EBITDA Margin ex-IFRIC12”) excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to assets under the concession and is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service revenue and cost, by total revenues less Construction service revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction Service are not measures recognized under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, consolidated net income for the year as determined in accordance with IFRS or as indicators of our operating performance from continuing operations. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information and should note that these measures as calculated by the Company, may differ materially from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service enhances an investor’s understanding of our performance and are useful for investors to assess our operating performance by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service are useful because they allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and construction services (when applicable).

Net debt is calculated by deducting “Cash and cash equivalents” from total financial debt.

Figures ex-IAS 29 result from dividing nominal Argentine pesos for the Argentine Segment, by the average foreign exchange rate of the Argentine Peso against the US dollar in the period. Percentage variations ex-IAS 29 figures compare results as presented in the prior year quarter before IAS 29 came into effect, against ex-IAS 29 results for this quarter as described above. For comparison purposes, the impact of adopting IAS 29 in Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, the Company’s largest subsidiary in Argentina, is presented separately in each of the applicable sections of this earnings release, in a column denominated “IAS 29”. The impact from “Hyperinflation Accounting in Argentina” is described in more detail page 23 of this report.

Definitions and Concepts

Commercial Revenues: CAAP derives commercial revenue principally from fees resulting from warehouse usage (which includes cargo storage, stowage and warehouse services and related international cargo services), services and retail stores, duty free shops, car parking facilities, catering, hangar services, food and beverage services, retail stores, including royalties collected from retailers’ revenue, and rent of space, advertising, fuel, airport counters, VIP lounges and fees collected from other miscellaneous sources, such as telecommunications, car rentals and passenger services.

Construction Service revenue and cost: Investments related to improvements and upgrades to be performed in connection with concession agreements are treated under the intangible asset model established by IFRIC 12. As a result, all expenditures associated with investments required by the concession agreements are treated as revenue generating activities given that they ultimately provide future benefits, and subsequent improvements and upgrades made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets based on the principles of IFRIC 12. The revenue and expense are recognized as profit or loss when the expenditures are performed. The cost for such additions and improvements to concession assets is based on actual costs incurred by CAAP in the execution of the additions or improvements, considering the investment requirements in the concession agreements. Through bidding processes, the Company contracts third parties to carry out such construction or improvement services. The amount of revenues for these services is equal to the amount of costs incurred plus a reasonable margin, which is estimated at an average of 3.0% to 5.0%.
