The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and interpretations (“IFRIC”) issued by the IFRS Interpretations Committee applicable to companies reporting under IFRS.

 

Elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and the other companies and their respective subsidiaries have been made.

 

The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS requires management to make certain accounting estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting dates, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

 

In the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant areas of judgment by management in the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the main areas of assumptions and estimates are consistent with those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

 

Assets and liabilities are classified as current if settlement is expected within twelve months.

 

There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period and there were no changes in risk management policies since the end of the year ended December 31, 2023.

Application of IAS 29 in financial reporting of Argentine subsidiaries and associates

 

IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to be adjusted for the effects of changes in a suitable general price index and to be expressed in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. Accordingly, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in the non-monetary items.

 

Under the terms of IAS 29, the Group understands that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes as from July 1, 2018, and, accordingly, it has applied IAS 29 as from that date in the financial reporting of its subsidiaries and associates with the Argentine peso as functional currency.

 

The estimated price index as of June 30, 2024 was 6,389.55 (3,533.19 as of December 31, 2023) and the conversion factor derived from the indexes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, was 1.808 (1.53 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2023).

 

Comparative amounts are the figures presented as current year amounts in the relevant prior year consolidated financial statements, according to IAS 21, considering that they were translated into the currency of a non- hyperinflationary economy.

 

The ongoing application of the re-translation of comparative amounts to closing exchange rates under IAS 21 and the inflation adjustments required by IAS 29 will lead to a difference because the rate at which the hyper-inflationary currency depreciates against a stable currency is rarely equal to the rate of inflation.

 

The inflation adjustment and the translation of comparative amounts in the current period is included in Other comprehensive income for the period line.

 

All items in the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Income and of Comprehensive Income for the six-month period are restated by applying the relevant conversion factors at the end of the reporting period, as stated in Note 2.W of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023. According to IAS 29, the three-month period results shown in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared considering the three-month period results of the subsidiaries in hyperinflationary economies in their functional currency translated into U.S dollars at the closing exchange rate, while prior reported quarterly Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Income and of Comprehensive Income in U.S. dollars remain unchanged.

3           Segment information

 

Operating segments are components of an enterprise where separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s chief operating decision maker is its Board of Directors. The Group’s operating segments are managed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit providing airport and non-airport services (“others”) to clients in different countries. The Group’s reportable operating segments are the six countries in which the Group currently operates, which are Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Ecuador and Italy.

 

Within each reportable segment, the Group develops and operates airport concessions (“Airports”) and provides other services not directly related to airport concessions.

 

Assets, liabilities and results of sub-holding and/or holding companies are not allocated and are reported within the “Unallocated” column. This column also includes head office and group services.

 

The elimination of any intersegment revenues and other significant intercompany operations are included in the “Intrasegment Adjustments” column.

 

The information regarding the Group’s reportable operating segments is consistent with the information presented in Notes 2.V and 4 included in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and should be read in conjunction with them.

 

The performance of each reportable segment is measured by its adjusted EBITDA, defined, with respect to each segment, as net income before financial income, financial loss, inflation adjustment, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment (“Adjusted EBITDA”). The Adjusted EBITDA does not exclude the amortization of the intangible asset related to the fixed fee payable to the corresponding governments for the operation of the airport concessions.

 

In addition, the CODM considers each reportable segment’s Adjusted EBITDA before Construction Services margin as a relevant performance measure.

 

Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Services is defined, with respect to each segment, as net income before construction services revenue, financial income, construction services cost, financial loss, inflation adjustment, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment. The Adjusted EBITDA excluding construction services revenue and construction services cost (which are based on the principles of IFRIC 12) does not exclude the amortization of the intangible asset related to the fixed fee payable to the corresponding governments for the operation of airport concessions.

(2)As stated in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, due to the impact generated by the pandemic, the Brazilian subsidiaries filed a claim for economic-financial re-equilibrium of its concession contracts. This was possible due to the Brazilian Government recognition that the Covid-19 pandemic is a case of "force majeure" or "fortuitous event" concluding that the loss from the impact of the pandemic is not part of the risks assumed by the private sector and must be compensated by the Federal Government. In view of this, Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (“ANAC”) defined as a condition for this re-equilibrium the compensation according to the companies’ projected operational result in the scenario without pandemic.

 

In December 2023 and 2022, the ANAC approved the extraordinary revision of the Concession Agreements of the Brasília and Natal Airport due to the damages caused by the Covid-19 pandemic in order to reconstitute its economic-financial balance considering a preliminary estimation as of year-end.

 

In June 2023, the final compensatory amount for the year 2022 for the Brasilia airport was determined, resulting, net of tax, in an increase of USD 3,550 compared to the amount that had initially been estimated and recognized as an Other operating income as of December 31, 2022.

Due to the increase of traffic witnessed during 2023 and 2024 across all countries, the Group has not identified impairment indicators except in the Brazilian segment due to the historical losses from its operations.

 

Therefore, the Group performed the impairment test of the Brazilian cash-generating unit (“CGU”) (including concession assets with a carrying value of USD 583.5 million as of June 30, 2024) based on the discounted cash flow model covering the remaining concession period (value in use), considering significant assumptions that required management judgment related to passenger growth rates and discount rate, combined with historical information.

 

For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the CGUs of a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that are expected to benefit from such business combination.

 

As of June 30, 2024 and 2023, the recoverable amount of aforementioned CGU´s exceed their respective carrying amount.

-The Italian Notes are secured by an economic first ranking pledge in respect of all the shares representing 100% of the share capital of CAI, 100% of the share capital of Dicasa Spain S.A.U. and the shares representing CAI’s holding in TA.

 

The main covenants are limitations to take on additional indebtedness, make payments of dividends and other payments that are specifically restricted, selling assets as well as requiring compliance with certain financial ratios. The last testing date was June 30, 2024, being in compliance with the covenants.

Once the Existing Notes not exchanged in the Exchange Offer mature or are cancelled in full, AA2000 is required to amend and restate the Cargo Trust and the current trust related to the tariffs dated January 19, 2017, entered into by AA2000 and the trustee thereto (the “Tariffs Trust”), so that the Series 2021 Notes become secured under the Cargo Trust on a pro rata and pari passu basis with the existing beneficiaries of the Cargo Trust, and these beneficiaries in turn become secured under the Tariffs Trust on a pro rata and pari passu basis with the Series 2021 Notes. In accordance with the Concession Agreement, the collateral assignment of revenue must be authorized by ORSNA. ORSNA approved, on October 15 2021, the amendment of the Tariffs Trust and of the Cargo Trust to include the Series 2021 Notes as beneficiaries thereto (including their future amendment and restatement, once the Existing Notes are cancelled in full). Furthermore, AA2000 received the approval from the Central Bank of Argentina to establish a non-interest bearing U.S. dollar trust account in the United States to secure the Series 2021.

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, 50% of the fixed concession fee to be paid in 2021 by ICAB was pending as a re-scheduling of such fee was requested. Even though, the Brazilian Ministry of Infrastructure had granted its approval, the Brazilian ANAC denied ICAB’s request, and initiated administrative proceedings with a view to declaring ICAB in default of its payment obligations. Therefore, ICAB initiated a judicial procedure and, on February 2, 2022, a writ of mandamus was granted by a Federal judge suspending any act or enforceability in connection with the unpaid portion of the concession fee due to the Brazilian ANAC. The Brazilian ANAC appealed, but in April 2022, the court of justice provisionally maintained the first instance judgment favorable to ICAB. In November 2023, the case was decided and the first instance ruling in favor of ICAB was confirmed, granting ICAB the right to reschedule 50% of 2021’ fixed concession fee. The Brazilian ANAC appealed the ruling and the court of justice has not issued its decision as of June 30, 2024.

 

Regarding the 2022 concession fee a partial payment of R$ 81.6 million (equivalent to USD 15 million) was made through the application of re-equilibrium credits. To pay the remaining amount ICAB presented on November 21, 2022 to the Ministry of Infrastructure, an offer of court payment orders, which is still in process of analysis. In December 2022, the Ministry issued an official letter confirming that, during the time it takes to issue a final opinion, ICAB is in compliance with its obligations.

15Contingencies, commitments and restrictions on the distribution of profits

 

a. Contingencies

 

CAAP and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer claims, in which third parties are seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses or indemnity. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, the potential liability with respect to such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. Management, with the assistance of legal counsel, periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure. If a potential loss from a claim, lawsuit or proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded. Accruals for loss contingencies reflect a reasonable estimate of the losses to be incurred based on information available to management as of the date of preparation of the financial statements, and take into consideration the Group’s litigation and settlement strategies.

 

The Group believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for losses in these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, are adequate based upon currently available information.

Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. (“TA”) legal proceedings

 

On May 1, 2024, the Civil Court of Milan published its ruling regarding the claim initiated by Nuove Iniziative Toscane (“NIT”) on September 10, 2021. See Note 26.a of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. NIT´s claim was rejected by the Court and NIT was condemned to return to TA the sums that had been paid as deposit, plus interest, as well as to pay the legal costs.

 

On May 31, 2024, TA received the reimbursement from NIT of the sums that had paid as deposit plus interests which amounts to EUR 4.7 million in total. However, NIT can still appeal the ruling.

 

Peruvian proceedings - Kuntur Wasi

 

As stated in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, on August 10, 2023, Kuntur Wasi received notification of the favorable arbitral award from the ICSID/CIADI Arbitral Court following the arbitration procedure Kuntur Wasi had initiated after the arbitrary unilateral termination of the Concession Agreement by the Peruvian Ministry of Transports and Communications. While the Arbitral Court had already determined the final award for damages and losses, on February 28, 2024 both parties submitted further information to calculate the business profit based on the invested amounts as well as interests thereon.

 

On May 9, 2024, ICSID/CIADI confirmed that “Peru breached the concession contract by terminating it without a well-founded reason of public interest" and ordered that “damages in the amount of USD 91.2 million (including interest to February 28, 2024) should be paid to Kuntur Wasi, together with any additional interest that has accrued at the rate established in this award to the date of payment; compounded annually”. As of the date of the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements the Company is evaluating the chances of recoverability of the final award and pending this review, no amount has been recognized in these financial statements.

 

ACI Do Brasil S.A. (“ACIB”) tax proceedings

 

As stated in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, in 2017 a lawsuit was initiated before the Municipality of Sao Goncalo do Amarante to dispute the legality of the IPTU collected by the City of São Gonçalo do Amarante. In 2023, the Supreme Court decided to keep IPTU immunity as a rule, but to allow the Municipality to collect this tax only over the areas occupied by third parties who exploit activities unrelated to the airport public service.

 

In a decision given on April 3, 2024 the Municipality: (i) revoked the IPTU tax collection for the years 2012 to 2014 and (ii) maintained the incidence of IPTU over the entire Airport through the years 2015 to 2023.

 

ACIB will file another administrative appeal, based on the aforementioned Supreme Court decision.

 

There are no other lawsuits or legal proceedings different from the ones included in the Consolidated Financial

 

Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

PDS – Amendment to concession agreement

 

On May 15, 2024, PDS signed amendments to its concession agreement to include part of the old passenger terminal of the Carrasco International Airport into the concession, PDS plans to invest approximately USD 5.5 million to expand its cargo activities, in particular, pharma and courier in this space. In counterpart, PDS will pay an additional fee.

 

Additionally, PDS committed to invest in a new Instrument Landing System (ILS) category IIIb, similar to those utilized in the world's major airports. This system will enable aircrafts to land safely in adverse weather conditions, thereby enhancing air connectivity, increasing predictability for airlines, and providing a competitive advantage for aviation development. The amendment foresees a tariff adjustment (approach fee) that can be charged by PDS.

 

AA2000 - Concession agreement

 

As stated in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, on July 28, 2023, ORSNA issued Resolution N° 56-23, in which it laid down the conditions related to the Review of the Financial Projection of Income and Expenses (in Spanish, PFIE) for the concession period of 2019-2023. Among others, it was determined that the revision of the financial and economic equation of the concession agreement, will be finalized upon reaching the international passenger traffic level of 2019. AA2000 challenged Resolution N° 56-23. On November 27, 2023 ORSNA and AA2000, agreed: (i) to suspend the current procedural deadlines until June 30, 2024, (ii) that AA2000 must produce at its own cost and expense a passenger traffic projection study; (iii) to postpone until May 30, 2024 the ordinary annual review of the PFIE of the concession, covering periods until December 31, 2023. AA2000 has fulfilled the commitments assumed under the referred agreement.

 

Considering the changes in the Argentinean government and taking into account that the members of ORSNA's Board of Directors had not been appointed, it was agreed to suspend for 20 business days the procedural deadlines duly established, according to a presentation made both parties on June 28, 2024. On July 3, 2024, AA2000 was notified of the Court's decision granting the suspension of the requested deadlines.

 

On July 30, 2024, the members of ORSNA's Board of Directors were appointed and AA2000 is currently working with the new president of the ORSNA to work on a solution to the matter.

 

Guarantees related to concession agreements

18            Fair value measurement of financial instruments

 

According to the classification included in Note 3.B of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, the Group categorizes its financial instruments as assets and liabilities at amortized cost and fair value through profit or loss.

 

For the majority of instruments recorded at amortized cost, the fair values are not materially different from their carrying amounts, since the interest receivable/payable is either close to current market rates or the instruments are short-term in nature. Significant differences were identified for the following instruments at June 30, 2024:

 

   Fair value   Carrying amount 
Trust funds (1)   33,805    31,326 
Long-term borrowings (2)   990,839    1,071,790 

 

(1) It is included in the Other receivables line of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position. The fair value of these financial assets was calculated using a discounted cash flow (Level 3).

 

(2) Valuation at quotation prices not adjusted in active markets for identical liabilities included Fair Value Level 2 under IFRS 13 hierarchy. There are no financial liabilities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income nor through profit or loss.

 

Other financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are included in Level 1 as defined in IFRS 13 and comprise primarily government securities, mutual funds and corporate bonds.

19            Financial risk factors

 

As stated in Note 3A of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2023, CAAP’s Argentine subsidiaries are operating in an economic context in which main variables have a strong volatility as a consequence of political and economic uncertainties. The estimated inflation rate for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024 was 80.8%, the devaluation of Argentinean pesos against the US Dollars in the same period was 12.8%, and certain restrictions to access the Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios (“MULC”) are still in force.

 

Law 27,742 which declares a public emergency in administrative, economic, financial and energy matters for one year was approved on June 28, 2024 and enacted on July 8, 2024 by Decree 592/2024. The law grants the Argentinean Executive Branch special powers to manage the emergency in terms of Article 76 of the National Constitution of Argentina. Reforms foreseen in the law contemplate, among others, a state reform, an incentive regime for large investments, changes in labor legislation, a policy on open skies and tax benefits. The Argentine subsidiaries are evaluating the potential impact of this law and of the evolving political situation in Argentina on their business and performance.
