  • Majority net income increased 7.1% YoY to Ps.2,296.41 million

Negative

  • Total passenger traffic declined 2.7% YoY; Mexico -5.0%, San Juan -3.5%
  • Consolidated EBITDA decreased 8.7% YoY to Ps.4,589.89 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA margin (ex-IFRIC 12) fell to 62.0% from 67.6%

News Explained

The disclosure adds higher quarterly capital spending and clarifies how construction accounting affects revenue comparisons without changing EBITDA in Mexico and Puerto Rico.

The July 23 results release adds 2Q26 capital spending of Ps.1,950,311 thousand, up 40.3% from 2Q25, giving the completed quarter new spending detail.

Under IFRIC 12, construction-service revenue is paired with an equal construction-cost expense in Mexico and Puerto Rico; it affects reported revenue and margin there but not EBITDA, which explains why excluding construction services produces a different revenue comparison.

Analysis

ASUR's low short-interest signal provides context beyond the release. The earnings report combines higher revenue with lower EBITDA and margin, while traffic weakness remains a risk to monitor.

4 terms
ebitda financial
"Consolidated EBITDA decreased 8.7% YoY to Ps.4,589.9 million."
EBITDA stands for earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. It measures a company's profitability by focusing on the money it makes from its core operations, ignoring expenses like taxes and accounting adjustments. Investors use EBITDA to compare how well different companies are performing financially, as it provides a clearer picture of operational success without the influence of financial structure or accounting choices.
View in glossary
adjusted ebitda margin financial
"Adjusted EBITDA Margin (excluding IFRIC 12) declined to 62.0%"
Adjusted EBITDA margin shows how much profit a company makes from its core operations, expressed as a percentage of its total revenue, after removing certain one-time or unusual expenses and income. It helps investors understand the company's true earning ability from regular business activities, making it easier to compare performance over time or with other companies. Think of it as measuring the efficiency of a business in turning sales into profits, excluding irregular adjustments.
ifric 12 financial
"Adjusted EBITDA Margin (excluding IFRIC 12) declined to 62.0%"
IFRIC 12 is an international accounting rule that tells companies how to record deals where a private firm builds or runs infrastructure (like roads, airports or utilities) on behalf of the public and is paid over time for providing the service. It matters to investors because it determines whether the infrastructure appears as an asset on the company’s balance sheet or as a right to charge users, which affects reported profits, debt levels and the company’s apparent financial health — similar to whether you count a leased house as yours or just the right to collect rent.
net debt-to-ltm ebitda financial
"with Net Debt-to-LTM EBITDA at 0.9x."
Net debt-to-LTM EBITDA is a leverage ratio that divides a company’s net debt (total interest-bearing debt minus cash and cash equivalents) by its EBITDA for the last twelve months (LTM), where EBITDA measures operating earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. It tells investors how many years of recent operating earnings would be needed to cover the company’s net debt, like estimating how many years of salary it would take to pay off a mortgage, and helps gauge financial risk and debt burden.

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.
