Definitions
Concession Services Agreements (IFRIC 12 interpretation).
In Mexico and Puerto
Rico, ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its
income statement an income line, "Construction Revenues,"
reflecting the revenue from construction or improvements to
concessioned assets made during the relevant period. 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
Costs 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. In Colombia, "Construction Revenues" include the
recognition of the revenue to which the concessionaire is entitled
for carrying out the infrastructure works in the development of the
concession, while "Construction Costs" represents the actual costs
incurred in the execution of such additions or improvements to the
concessioned assets.
Majority Net Income reflects ASUR's equity interests
in each of its subsidiaries and therefore excludes the 40% interest
in Aerostar that is owned by other shareholders. Other than
Aerostar, ASUR owns (directly or indirectly) 100% of its
subsidiaries.
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.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing
EBITDA by total revenues excluding construction services revenues
for Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia and excludes the effect of IFRIC 12
with respect to the construction or improvements to concessioned
assets. ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income
statement an income line reflecting the revenue from construction
or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant
period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line
"Construction Costs" because ASUR hires third parties to provide
construction services. In Mexico
and Puerto Rico, because equal
amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs 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 relates to Construction Revenues
does not result in a corresponding increase in EBITDA. In
Colombia, construction revenues do
have an impact on EBITDA, as construction revenues include a
reasonable margin over the actual cost of construction. Like
EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered
as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative
to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity and is not defined under
U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different
companies.
