Operator (participant)

Good morning and welcome to GAP's conference call. All lines have been placed on mute to prevent any background noise. After the presentation, we will open the floor for questions, and at that time, instructions will be given if you would like to ask a question. It is now my pleasure to turn the conference over to GAP's Investor Relations team. Please go ahead.

Alejandra Soto (Head of Investor Relations)

Thank you and welcome to the First Quarter 2024 Conference Call for Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico. Presenting from the company today, we welcome Mr. Raúl Revuelta, GAP's Chief Executive Officer, and Mr. Saúl Villarreal, Chief Financial Officer. Please be advised that forward-looking statements may be made during this conference call. These do not account for future economic circumstances, industry conditions, the company's future performance, or financial results. As such, statements made are based on several assumptions and factors that could cause actual results to materially differ from the current expectations. For a complete note on forward-looking statements, please refer to the quarterly report issued earlier this week. At this point, I'd like to turn the call over to Mr. Revuelta for his opening remarks. Please begin, sir.

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

Thank you and good morning. As always, it is a pleasure to be reviewing another quarter with you. We appreciate your taking the time to join us today. I'm going to briefly review operational and financial figures before taking your questions. During this quarter, the total number of passengers reached nearly 16 million, which was almost flat compared to the first Q 2023. As many of you are aware, we have experienced a slight deceleration in passenger traffic since the fourth quarter of 2023 due to the preventive inspections of the Pratt & Whitney engines. These inspections will continue throughout 2024. As of today, Volaris Airlines, that handles most of our passenger traffic, has the highest number of grounded aircraft. As 2024 progresses, we will continue to monitor the availability of seats and passenger traffic trends in order to keep the market updated of any changes.

Despite the slowdown of the domestic market, the international market has been growing in double digits. As we look ahead to the rest of the year, we will expand our markets beyond the U.S. and Canada with the new routes to Europe and Asia. As of today, we expect to initiate at least 11 new international routes during 2024, nine of them to North America and two of them to Europe, which include Frankfurt to Los Cabos and Prague to Puerto Vallarta. Moving on to financial performance. On the top line, total revenue remained almost flat compared to the first Q 2023. Aeronautical revenues decreased by 1.3%, mainly due to discounts to passenger charges that are in place at nine of the 12 airports in Mexico. As a result, we reached 97% of the maximum tariffs approved, while in the first quarter 2023, it was 99% of the maximum tariffs.

Despite this, non-aeronautical revenue continued strong, achieving a 15.2% increase to reach MXN 1.7 billion. For the first time in the history of the company, we have reached 109 MXN per passenger. As we have previously discussed, we renegotiated several of the tenant contracts, which resulted in more than positive financial conditions for the company. The main revenue generated for commercial revenues was the additional capacity at the airports with expansion in terms of square meters. This includes the new terrace with a huge food and beverage area in Guadalajara, which is surrounded by a top restaurant and offers a stunning view of the runways. Those of you who attended the GAP Day had the opportunity to walk through this new area. There are several other strategies on the commercial side that are being worked on in addition to large sale areas.

This includes new business lines such as the mixed-use building, which can also be found in the Guadalajara airport, with the opening of a new hotel in March of 2024. On the expenses side, this increases by 10.3% compared to the first Q 2023. While we remain focused on maintaining strict cost control, the current changes in labor load affect all major cost lines. The salary costs have been greatly impacted as well as other major personnel contracts such as cleaning, security, and maintenance, down the line with a step higher cost that correlates with the airside and terminal expansion, in addition to an inflationary effect. Regarding the concession fee in Mexico, which is the amount that concession holders such as GAP must pay for the use of federal airports, you may remember that in January, these fees increased from 5%-9%.

In accordance with the new rules for tariff regulation, the payment made over those included in the last tariff review will be added to the reference value during the next review of the maximum tariff. However, this only applies for the regulated revenues. In line with this, the 4% difference paid over the aeronautical revenue in the first quarter 2024 was recognized as an intangible asset under the IAS 38 and will begin its amortization in January 2025 and will continue until the end of the concession period. The amount recognized as intangible asset in the airport concession during the first quarter 2024 was MXN 175.5 million. On the other hand, the 4% additional payment over the non-aeronautical revenue was recognized as an expense. As a result, EBITDA reached MXN 4.6 billion with an EBITDA margin of 69.8%.

This differs from our guidance released in January, mainly due to the recognition of the intangible asset I just mentioned. On the debt front, total debt reached MXN 4.5 billion during the first quarter 2024. In March, we issued another two tranches of labeled debt bonds of the Mexican market for a total of MXN 3 billion. The proceeds were used to pay down the GAP 19 bond, matured in March for the same issue amount. These were on the fifth and sixth labeled bonds that are sustainability-linked and direct towards reducing carbon emissions, thus further demonstrating our commitment to enhancing sustainability at the company. We look forward to continuing to update the market of these initiatives, and we will continue integrating this philosophy into our operations and infrastructure projects.

Following these figures, we continue to maintain healthy leverage levels, reaching a net debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 1.7x for a trailing 12 months, thus complying with all our debt covenants. Moving on to the CapEx during the quarter, CapEx is to be capital expenditure, reaching approximately MXN 1.4 billion. This position is well to comply with the challenging master development program that is in place. Before I conclude, I want to mention that our ordinary and extraordinary shareholders' meeting will take place tomorrow, and we will be proposing a capital reduction of MXN 13.86 per outstanding share. I would like to express my gratitude to all who attended our GAP Day at Guadalajara airport on April 10th.

It was a great event where we were able to tour the newly expanded commercial and passengers area, the airport fire station, and even stay at the new Hilton Garden Inn hotel that is just steps away from the main entrance of the airport. I hope that all who were able to join us left with a sense of all the hard work and commitment we have for our markets and for the growth of our company. With that, I would like to open the floor for all questions.

Operator (participant)

At this time, if you would like to ask a question, please press the star and one on your telephone keypad. You may withdraw your question at any time by pressing the pound key. Once again, to ask a question, please press the star and one on your telephone keypad. We'll take our first question from Rodolfo Ramos with Bradesco BBI. Please go ahead.

Rodolfo Ramos (Head of Mexico Research and Strategist)

Good morning, everybody. Thank you for taking my questions, and congratulations on the results. One question on my side, and it's a two-part question, and just wanted to get a sense of how your MDP negotiations are going through, are coming along with the authorities. If you can comment on the tariff side and also on the CapEx side. And on the CapEx side, just want to understand, I mean, you have airports that are well above the 10 million passenger threshold per year. You also have Cabo that is close to 10 million. So just wanted to see, it seems like the new name of the game is the CapEx side. We saw that in ASUR's MDP.

Just wanted to get a sense of what your CapEx needs could be going forward, if you see any major projects at these main three airports that could help you out in this negotiation. That would be my question. Thank you.

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

Thank you, Rodolfo. This is Raúl. We have talked. I mean, we are still working with authorities. We have, I mean, presented the first draft of our master plan, and we are just in the process of the visits with the authority or the physical visits of all the airports and review of all the different investments that we are proposing to the authority. As we have said in the last conference calls, we are expecting an increase of the maximum tariff around 0%-5%. But what is important to have in mind is, I mean, we could not assure completely which is going to be the result. We need to see how the mainly the discount rate will change in the coming months, and after that, we could have the number.

As you remember, in terms of the airport load, the authority has until the last day of the year, December 31, to have an authorization. We are working with them, trying to make as fast as possible this authorization, and we are working just on that. In terms of the CapEx that we are expecting, we are maintaining the same level of investment per passenger that we have in the last or in this period of master plan that is around MXN 110 per passenger. We are expecting to have the same level of investment per passenger. To have in mind, some of the airports that should need some additional spaces or additional terminals or big investments or in some way to attend the increase in passengers will be Tijuana.

For sure, in Guadalajara, we are proposing to the authority a completely new brand-new terminal, the Terminal 2 for the airport. For the case of Cabos, we also know that we need to expand our terminal building, the second terminal building, the international terminal building, and the Terminal 1, that is the domestic terminal building in Cabo. And for the case of Vallarta, as you know, on this master plan, we are developing the second terminal of Puerto Vallarta. We will continue the expansion of that on part of the coming year, but will not be included as an additional investment for the new master plan. So in general terms, concluding, the biggest investment that we will see on our bigger airports will be expansion on Terminal Tijuana, a new terminal in Guadalajara, and expansions on Terminal 2 and 1 on Los Cabos.

For sure, for other airports, we'll have some expansions, but the main expansions, talking about terminal buildings, will be on those airports.

Rodolfo Ramos (Head of Mexico Research and Strategist)

Thank you, Raúl. And just a follow-up on that, and you mentioned that the authorities have until the last day of this year. So I'm assuming that you will be concluding your negotiations with the next administration. Is that correct?

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

At this moment, Rodolfo, we could not assure if it's going to be with this administration or the coming administration. We are working on all the, I mean, technical approach of the master plan. Just think for a second that a master plan is documented that for the case of GAP will be, I don't know, 2,000 pages with a lot of blueprints and a lot of technical work. So for sure, we are working today with the technicians of the AFAC, and at the end of the day, we will try to close this negotiation as soon as possible. But today, I could not assure if it's going to be with this administration or the coming administration.

What for sure is in the table is that we are working on having all the technical approach and studies for the capacity and the new investments on the master plan, and we will have it in the table of the authority, and we will expect the correct timing for the authorization.

Rodolfo Ramos (Head of Mexico Research and Strategist)

Great. Very helpful, Raúl. Thank you very much, and congrats on the results.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. We will move next with Stephen Trent with Citi. Please go ahead.

Stephen Trent (Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst)

Good morning, everybody, and thanks for taking my questions. The first, if you could excuse me, I'm sorry. If you could give us some indication on the Jamaican airports and the timing of the regulatory reviews, and what chance do you see that maybe authorities could possibly extend those concessions when the review is done?

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Hi, Steve. This is Saúl. Thank you for your questions. We are working very well with the authorities. Indeed, in the GAP Day, we had the Minister of Transportation in Jamaica, and the communication, the relationship is very good. We have been working, and we have a final proposal. However, we haven't achieved the final document signed to be applied. So we have good news, but we cannot disclose yet because it's not possible because we don't have the official document from the authorities of Jamaica. But we feel very comfortable with both results in the negotiations for both airports. So we are fine for now, but we cannot disclose yet the result of the negotiation.

Stephen Trent (Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst)

Okay. Appreciate the color, Saúl. Thank you. And just to follow up with something you mentioned in the preparatory remarks, I believe you mentioned nine new routes to North America and two new routes to Europe, if I'm not mistaken. And just wonder if I got that right, and two, what potential you might see for new Asian routes?

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

Yeah. Hi, Steve. This is Raúl. I mean, in terms of Asia, what we are expecting for the end of the year is the operation. We are not sure today if it's going to be two or going to be one destinations to China from Tijuana. We are really close to have some announcement, but what we are expecting for the end of the year is at least one direct flight from China to Tijuana.

Stephen Trent (Managing Director and Senior Research Analyst)

Okay. Perfect. Thanks, Raúl. Appreciate that.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. We will move next with Guilherme Mendes with JPMorgan. Please go ahead.

Guilherme Mendes (Senior Equity Research Analyst)

Thank you. And good morning, Raúl, Saúl, and Alejandra. Thanks for taking my question. My first question is on the guidance. Raúl, you mentioned in the beginning about the effect of how the concession fee was accounted. So clearly, there was some upside on the EBITDA margin reporting on the first quarter, but just wondering if you see some kind of upside for your full-year guidance, if you should expect any kind of changes from here. And the second question is regarding the bidding process for the Turks and Caicos airport. You mentioned the fourth quarter earnings that you were participating in the process. Just wondering if there's any kind of updates on this. Thank you very much.

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Hi, Guillermo. This is Saúl. For your first question, we have, as you said, we have to revise our guidance, but we want to wait for a new idea of the print. We need engines review and be monitoring the traffic trend in the following months. We expect if we have more visibility until the end of the year, we will release a new guidance, but we want to wait until the second quarter in order to update it. Regarding Turks and Caicos, we don't have any advance yet. We don't have any update from the authorities. We are very attentive to attending any kind of meetings with the government, but we don't have any other advance. Just that we released that we were selected as a bidder.

Guilherme Mendes (Senior Equity Research Analyst)

Okay. Very clear. Thanks, Saúl.

Operator (participant)

Thank you.

Guilherme Mendes (Senior Equity Research Analyst)

Thank you, Guillermo.

Operator (participant)

We will move next with Alejandro Fuchs with Itaú Group. Please go ahead.

Alejandro Fuchs (VP of Equity Research and Head Mexican Office)

Yes. Hello, Raúl, Saúl, Alejandra and team. Thank you for the space for questioning, and congratulations on the results. Very quickly, two ones from my side. The first one is on aeronautical revenue. They were flat year-over-year, as Raúl was mentioning, even though you mentioned that the TUA was still down for 9 airports. So I wanted to get a sense on how the aeronautical revenue is flat year-over-year with flat passengers, also performance with the lower TUA. Is it that you're charging maybe a higher percentage of the maximum tariff? Maybe we wanted to understand that correctly and then have a follow-up. Thank you.

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Hi, Alex. Well, regarding the TUA, we already applied the discounts. As we mentioned, we are applying for nine airports the 6% discount over the TUA. We have different factors as inflation and exchange rate in order to fulfill the maximum tariff. What we are expecting until the end of the year to be close to 97%-98% of the maximum tariff. We are expecting acceleration or appreciation of the exchange rate. And if that happens, it will be a benefit for the fulfillment of the maximum tariff. We have another issue regarding the international passenger traffic, which is in U.S. dollars, higher tariffs that provide a higher amount and more possibility to reach the 100% of the maximum tariff. But for now, our best approach is 97% at the end of the year.

Alejandro Fuchs (VP of Equity Research and Head Mexican Office)

Thank you. That was very clear, Saúl. Maybe just a quick follow-up. I wanted to see if I got this very clear, but on the concession tax, the MXN 715 million that you paid this quarter, I wanted to make sure that this includes the 4% increase even though this is going as an intangible asset as well. So we did see this through the P&L, and it's included in the EBITDA. I got cut off a little bit when Raúl was explaining, so maybe you could re-explain it for me. That would be very helpful. Thank you.

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Yes, Alex. Well, the concession tax is mandatory to be paid to the government. It pays every two months. So we were paid the first two months of the year, but we have to make a provision for March. So what is in the financial statement, in the income statement, is only the concession tax at 9% for the non-aeronautical revenues and 5% for the aeronautical revenues. The difference is recognized as a concession asset, as an intangible asset, as Raúl explained, and as we disclosed in the press release. It was recognized according to the international standards. So we will be the amortization of this asset during the period of the concession. So just to be clear, it is a cash flow for the 9% full, but the recognition in the income statement is 9% for the non-aeronautical and 5% for the aeronautical.

Just for 2024, in 2025, everything will be at 9%.

Alejandro Fuchs (VP of Equity Research and Head Mexican Office)

Thank you very much. Very clear, Saúl. Thank you.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. We will move next with Pablo Monsivais with Barclays. Please go ahead.

Pablo Monsivais (Equity Research Analyst)

Hi. Thanks for taking my question. Just a quick one on the cost side. You have mentioned that the labor law is impacting your costs, and that has been the case for this year. Do you see any extra pressures or headcount increase that could put pressure on your cost side for the end of the year? Thank you.

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Hi, Pablo.

Pablo Monsivais (Equity Research Analyst)

Hello.

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Just for the operation of the hotel, as you know, in the GAP today, we have another business unit, and we need the headcount for the full operation. Obviously, the pressure on the labor from the labor market is clear, not only in Mexican airports. For Jamaican airports, we have an increase, significant increase for the minimum wages, around 40%. It's not relevant because of the participation of the Jamaican airports in the total EBITDA, but at the end, it's relevant for the cost expense increase. But we want to be clear that the idea and that we will follow as a company, as management, is to maintain the cost control. We are not going to hire additional headcount just for the hotel. And in case we open additional business lines or more units, we will add additional headcount. If not, we are not going to hire additional headcount.

Pablo Monsivais (Equity Research Analyst)

Perfect. Very clear. Thank you very much.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. We will move next with Gabriel Himelfarb with Scotiabank. Please go ahead. Gabriel Himelfarb with Scotiabank. Your line is open.

Gabriel Himelfarb (Equity Research Associate Director)

Hi. Good morning. Thanks for the call. Just a bit of an update about the issue of the Pratt & Whitney. Have you seen? Do you think that for this year, for the last quarters, capacity could be limited due to the engine failures, the engine maintenance? We saw about the Volaris that yesterday said that the peak of the capacity will be on the third and the fourth quarter. So do you see that this could affect the passenger traffic for the last two quarters of this year? Thank you.

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

Thank you, Gabriel. This is Raúl. I mean, when we present our original guidance, we consider around 300 days for the period of maintenance of each one of the grounded planes. As you mentioned, Volaris just said on the conference yesterday that they are expecting the worst part of this peak on decrease on capacity for the third and fourth quarter. We are on the same page. Our guidance expects that the worst part of this supply crisis will happen in summer. And after that, I would say that gradually, mainly in November and December, we will begin to see some of the comeback of the first plane that were grounded on September of the last year. So I would say that in general terms, we stay in the same number that we originally presented in our guidance.

In that moment, we considered that part, that the worst part of the decrease of grounded planes will be on the third and part of the fourth quarter.

Gabriel Himelfarb (Equity Research Associate Director)

Okay. Do you think that this supply shock could be somehow used for the next MDP for the passengers compensated if the passenger decrease for the next MDP?

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

The point here, Gabriel, is that in general terms, as we have mentioned, this is a supply-side crisis. So as soon as the fleet recover and fly again, we will have a recovery like in a hockey stick because the demand's still there. So this is not something that will not change the trends on the long term. And in that point, we are not considering to change our needs of CapEx, of our forecasting for the long term in terms of passengers in our airport. So what we are saying is we expect a recovery during 2025 of the traffic. And for the long term and the mid term, the increase on traffic will be really we are optimistic that will be strong. And in that way, our master plan reflects the needs of that demand on the new capacity that we are expected to deploy in our airports.

Gabriel Himelfarb (Equity Research Associate Director)

Okay. Thank you very much.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. Our next question comes from Anton Mortenkotter with GBM. Please go ahead.

Anton Mortenkotter (Equity Research Analyst)

Hello, guys. Thank you for taking my question. I'm looking to understand if the increase in non-aeronautical tax was driven by the improvements in the commercial areas of your airports or maybe if it had some relationship to real estate investments. I was wondering if this quarter's non-aeronautical revenues had some contribution from the mixed-use facilities and the hotel. I'm thinking maybe some advance payments from the mall or something similar.

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Hi, Antoine. This is Saúl. Well, the increase of revenues per passenger, I think you are referring to aeronautical and non-aeronautical, which indeed is around 2%. It is basically because the increase in the non-aero revenues is part of the new revenues, the new contracts that arrived in Guadalajara, the new commercial retail and food and beverage area that was open. The hotel was open around March 26th, so it's not relevant in the figures. But it is the new areas and retail, the renovation of the contract, the renewal of the contracts, also the opening of some commercial retail in Montego Bay. So at the end, the commercial revenue showed an extraordinary increase in this quarter, around 15%. But per passenger, it was around 2% in total for non-aeronautical and aeronautical revenues. If we are talking about aeronautical revenues, we have a decrease of around 1.5%.

It is because, as we mentioned, the discounts into the TUA's or passenger charges in none of our Mexican airports.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. Our next question comes from Andressa Varotto with UBS. Please go ahead.

Andressa Varotto (Equity Research Analyst)

Hi. Good morning, Raúl, Saúl . Thank you for taking my question. I just have a follow-up here on the non-aeronautical side. You mentioned both all the new projects that the company has been working for in the last few years and also the renegotiation of contracts with tenants. So I just wanted to know if you could break down how much each of these factors are contributing today for the non-aeronautical side and what is their expectation going forward about the contribution of these two factors. Thank you very much.

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

Thank you, Andressa. This is Raúl. I mean, in general, the non-aeronautical revenues were growing on the quarter mainly for the expansion of some areas in our terminals was related with the food and beverage in Guadalajara and some special areas or additional areas of retail also in Guadalajara. But in general terms, I would say that in this quarter, what we have seen is an increase in some business lines as could be the food and beverage because in the last year, we were negotiating contracts, for instance, in Los Cabos, in Guadalajara, in Cabo, and in Tijuana. So what we are seeing right now is the reflection of some new conditions, mainly in food and beverage, in retail.

But also, we have seen the effect, an interesting effect of the revenues that comes from the business directly operated by GAP as could be the parking lots that increase even without flat environment of passengers. That is important to say because one of the revenues that are more or have a direct correlation with the number of passengers are the parking lots. So through a new tariff strategy, we obtained positive numbers on the parking lots even with a flat number of passengers in terms of total passengers in the airport.

So what is coming for sure with new conditions on some of our biggest contracts, what we are expecting as soon as the traffic recovers on the coming years will be a robust increase in terms of revenues because as soon as the consumption of the passengers arrives, we already have the correct layouts, the correct contracts, and the correct brands to bring the best possible results to the company. So for sure, in 2025, for instance, as soon as we have the traffic coming back to the airports, we will have or we will continue with a robust growth. But for 2024, as we mentioned on our guidance, we are expecting to increase the non-aero revenues from 12%-14%. And we think that we are aligned with that original guidance.

Andressa Varotto (Equity Research Analyst)

Perfect. Thank you very much. If you just could provide an update on the operation of the hotel and the commercial space that you're doing in Guadalajara?

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

Can you repeat, Andressa? I lost you for a second.

Andressa Varotto (Equity Research Analyst)

Sorry. I just wanted to know if the hotel and the commercial space are already operating and at which stage. Thank you.

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

Yes. We just began the operations on the last week of March. So we are just working on some of the new areas of Guadalajara, mainly all the hotels. We will be into recognize the revenues coming from the hotel just in this second quarter of the year. On what we call the mixed-use building, we expect that for the third quarter of the year, we will be into have recognition of revenue related with new tenants of the office building. Also on the third quarter, we will have full recognition of revenue related with the new food and beverage mezzanine area on the building, on the mixed-use building.

Andressa Varotto (Equity Research Analyst)

Perfect. Thank you very much. Have a good day.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. We will now take the webcast questions. I will turn the call over to management.

Alejandra Soto (Head of Investor Relations)

Thank you. We have one question from Bernardo Malpica from Santander. The increase in international passengers compensated for the fall in domestic passengers. Did you see any top-line benefits coming from this change in mix?

Raúl Revuelta (CEO)

Yes, Bernardo. I mean, in general terms, the change of the mix when we talk about aero revenues brings us additional I would say tariff, for instance, the TUAS related to dollars. But in general terms, I would say that depends the peso-dollar exchange rate. But in general terms, I will be that it's positive, the change on the mix because also in the non-aero business, you could get some consumptions on the duty-free, for instance, that in case of the domestic traffic, you could not have it. So I would say that in general terms, it's positive. And it could have some additional benefit for the top line.

Alejandra Soto (Head of Investor Relations)

Thank you, Raúl. And the last one is from Areli Villeda from Invex. I would like to understand the amendment over the legislation related to the concession rights. If the government recognized a double charge, how this would affect you?

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Hi, Areli. This is Saúl. At the beginning, when the amendment or the change to the 5%-9%, there was a confusion. But at the end, it was clarified in the legislation. So we do not expect any double charge. There is any possibility to have a double charge.

Alejandra Soto (Head of Investor Relations)

Thank you, Saúl. Those are the only questions that we have. We have other ones that are already answered with the Q&A. Thank you.

Saúl Villarreal (CFO)

Thank you.

Operator (participant)

Thank you. We show no further questions over the phone at this time. I will turn the call back to Mr. Revuelta for closing remarks.
