Insights

Financial Analyst

ASUR's Q2 shows mixed results: revenue up 17.9%, EBITDA growth slowed to 2.3%, net income down 39.9%.

ASUR's Q2 2025 results present a complex picture of an airport operator navigating regional traffic variations. The company achieved Ps.8,715.4 million in total revenue, a 17.9% year-over-year increase, though this figure is somewhat inflated by construction services revenue. Excluding this accounting effect, the core revenue growth was a more modest 4.8%.

What stands out is the stark divergence between revenue growth and profitability metrics. While EBITDA increased by just 2.3% to Ps.5,024.9 million, net income plummeted by 39.9% to Ps.2,270.2 million. This dramatic drop in the bottom line despite revenue growth signals significant margin pressure or extraordinary items affecting profitability.

The adjusted EBITDA margin declined from 69.2% to 67.6%, indicating operational efficiency challenges. This margin compression occurred despite improved commercial revenue per passenger, which rose 6.3% to Ps.135.9 – a positive sign for ASUR's retail strategy but insufficient to maintain overall margins.

Geographically, ASUR's portfolio shows contrasting performance. Mexico, representing the largest segment, experienced a 1.7% traffic decline, with international traffic down 4.1%. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico and Colombia posted modest traffic growth of 3.2% and 1.0% respectively. This geographic diversification provides some buffer against regional downturns.

The balance sheet remains exceptionally strong with Ps.19,815.9 million in cash and a debt-to-EBITDA ratio of just 0.1x. This financial strength supports ASUR's generous dividend policy, with Ps.80.00 per share being distributed in 2025, including two extraordinary payments scheduled for later this year.

Capital expenditures more than doubled to Ps.1,390.4 million, a 118.3% increase that may explain some of the pressure on short-term profitability but potentially positions the company for future growth.

Passenger traffic increased by 3.2% in Puerto Rico and 1.0% in Colombia; and decreased by 1.7% in Mexico

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 of, 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, as an alternative to cash flow or 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 of, 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 of, 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, as an alternative to cash flow or as an indicator of liquidity and is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.
