·Total revenues increased by Ps. 730.9 million, or 54.8%.

 

Aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps. 525.8 million, or 54.3%, during 4Q15, mainly due to an increase of Ps. 300.3 million, or 31.0%, in revenues from the Company’s Mexican airports, as a result of increases in total passenger traffic and by the increase in passenger charges for 2015, as well as the integration of the Montego Bay airport, which earned revenues of Ps. 225.5 million.

 

Non-aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps. 166.2 million, or 52.6%, during 4Q15 compared to 4Q14. The increase was driven by: (i) an increase of Ps. 143.2 million from businesses operated by third parties, of which Montego Bay airport contributed Ps. 82.2 million and Mexican airports contributed Ps. 61.0 million, primarily due to Ps. 48.8 million from duty-free stores, car rental, timeshare developers, food and beverage and ground transportation, among others and (ii) an increase of Ps. 38.8 million in revenues from businesses operated directly by the Company, mainly due to revenues from VIP lounges, convenience stores, car parking charges and advertising space in the Mexican airports, which together increased by Ps. 36.2 million.

Revenues from improvements to concession assets[1]

Revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12) increased by Ps. 38.8 million, or 80.3%, as 2015 marked the beginning of the new Master Development Program for 2015-2019. This represents the greatest committed investment for the Company to date. During 4Q15, the Montego Bay airport did not undertake improvements to concession assets.

 

Total operating costs during 4Q15 increased by Ps. 371.0 million, or 55.7% compared to 4Q14, primarily due to the consolidation of the Montego Bay airport, which had operating expenses of Ps. 259.5 million. This amount primarily comprised concession taxes of Ps. 89.9 million, depreciation and amortization of Ps. 41.4 million, employee costs of Ps. 27.9 million, utilities of Ps. 18.4 million, safety, security and insurance of Ps. 15.6 million, maintenance of Ps. 15.0 million, and other expenses of Ps. 11.1 million; as well as the amortization of the Montego Bay airport concession’s fair value of Ps. 40.2 million (the value of the concession stems from the fair value determination of the DCA and MBJ acquisition).

 

Ø Operating costs for the Mexican airports in 4Q15 increased by Ps. 111.4 million, or 16.7% compared to 4Q14, mainly due to the increase in cost of services explained below.

 

Ø Cost of services for the Mexican airports increased by Ps. 63.9 million, or 22.5%, in 4Q15 compared to 4Q14, and was composed primarily of the following costs:

 

-Other operating expenses for 4Q15 increased by Ps. 31.5 million, or 88.3%, due to increases in professional services fees of Ps. 28.5 million and supplies for convenience stores and VIP lounges of Ps. 10.3 million, offset by a decrease in the reserve for doubtful accounts of Ps. 7.2 million.

 

-Maintenance costs for 4Q15 increased by Ps. 13.5 million, or 19.1% compared to 4Q14, due mainly to maintenance for checked baggage inspection equipment, baggage equipment and terminal buildings.

 

-Employee costs increased by Ps. 11.4 million or 11.1% compared to 4Q14, mainly due to wage and salary increases.

 

-Safety, security and insurance costs increased by Ps. 4.9 million, or 10.5% compared to 4Q14.

Ø Cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12) during 4Q15 increased by Ps. 38.8 million, or 80.3% compared to 4Q14. In 4Q15, Montego Bay airport did not undertake any improvements to concession assets.

 

Operating margin for 4Q15 decreased by 30 basis points, from 50.1% in 4Q14 to 49.8% in 4Q15. Operating margin, excluding the effects of IFRIC 12, was 52.0% in 4Q15 and 4Q14. The nominal value of operating income increased Ps. 359.8 million, or 53.9%.

 

EBITDA margin decreased by 460 basis points, from 69.4% in 4Q14 to 64.8% in 4Q15. EBITDA margin, excluding the effects of IFRIC 12, decreased by 430 basis points, from 72.0% in 4Q14 to 67.7% in 4Q15. The nominal value of EBITDA increased Ps. 412.5 million, or 44.5%; of which the Montego Bay airport contributed Ps. 136.9 million; additionally, an adjustment of Ps. 27.9 million was made to the recognition of a gain from the determination of fair value of the DCA and MBJ acquisition, as a one-time effect, without cash inflow.

 

Financial income experienced a net gain of Ps. 44.2 million in 4Q15. This amount mainly comprises the cancellation of Ps. 100.7 million in foreign exchange rate loss recognized in 3Q15 prior to the determination of fair value of the DCA and MBJ acquisition. Combined with the exchange loss of Ps. 16.4 million in 4Q15, the result is a net exchange gain of Ps. 84.3 million. Moreover, the Company had the following financial expenses: (i) the financing interest expenses related to the Montego Bay airport’s debt, which were Ps. 12.1 million, (ii) interest expenses paid on loans for capital investments in Mexico of Ps. 37.1 million and (iii) Ps. 7.1 million in financing interests for the loan taken for the acquisition of DCA for a total financing interest expenses of Ps. 56.3 million. These expenses were partially offset by an increase in interest income of Ps. 16.2 million.

 

Comprehensive income in 4Q15 increased by Ps. 339.0 million, or 54.0%, compared to 4Q14. This was mainly due to an increase of Ps. 207.7 million in the Mexican airports, Ps. 27.9 million as a result of the gain from the fair value determination of the acquisition of DCA and MBJ, and Ps. 21.1 million contributed by the Montego Bay airport. Income taxes increased Ps. 139.6 million in 4Q15 as compared to 4Q14. Tax expenses for the Montego Bay airport were Ps. 22.1 million (tax rate of 25%), while the Mexican airports experienced a current tax increase of Ps. 66.4 million and a deferred tax gain of Ps. 51.1 million.

Revenues for Full Year 2015

 

On April 20, 2015, GAP acquired 100% of the shares of Desarrollo de Concesiones Aeroportuarias, S.L. (“DCA”). DCA is a 74.5% shareholder in MBJ Airports Limited (“MBJA”), the entity that operates Sangster International Airport (“MBJ”) in Montego Bay, Jamaica, and also has a 14.77% stake in SCL Terminal Aéreo Santiago, S.A. (“SCL”), which was the operator of the international terminal in Santiago, Chile, until September 30, 2015. As a consequence, the Company began to consolidate the financial information of DCA and MBJ starting April 1, 2015, and GAP financial statements for the full 2015 fiscal year similarly include DCA from April 1, 2015. Previously, cumulative results for the six and nine months ended June 30, 2015, and September 30, 2015, reflected DCA’s results for the interim period from January 1, 2015, through June 30 and September 30, respectively, in order to allow investors to assess the full results and impact of the DCA acquisition for each entire 2015 interim period. We believed that this presentation was useful to investors because under the terms of the acquisition of DCA, DCA’s operating results from January 1, 2015, were attributable to GAP. However, under IFRS the results of DCA should only be consolidated into the Company’s results starting April 1, 2015, and we have accordingly reflected the consolidation of DCA starting April 1, 2015 in our full-year 2015 results.

 

The following table is a condensed version of the income statement representing the figures as if the acquisition had taken place beginning on January 1, 2015. While not presented in accordance with IFRS, this table provides information necessary for a better understanding of the operating and financial impact of the DCA acquisition.

 Aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps. 1,493.3 million, or 38.0%, during the period of January to December 2015 (FY15), mainly due to the increase in revenues derived from the Mexican airports of Ps. 761.4 million, or 19.4%, generated by the increase in total passenger traffic and the tariff adjustment for 2015. The consolidation of the Montego Bay airport contributed Ps. 731.6 million in aeronautical revenues for the nine months from April 1 to December 31, 2015.

 

 Non-aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps. 510.7 million, or 38.2%, during 12M15 compared to 12M14. This increase was a result of the following factors: (i) businesses operated by third parties increased Ps. 406.2 million, of which Ps. 244.0 million was contributed by the Montego Bay airport during the nine months from April 1 to December 31, 2015 (the Company’s Mexican airports contributed an increase of Ps. 162.2 million, mainly driven by revenues from duty-free stores, car rental companies, timeshare developers, food and beverage and ground transportation, which together increased by Ps. 140.5 million, among others) and (ii) Revenues from businesses operated directly by the Company increased Ps. 111.5 million, due mainly to Ps. 103.9 million in revenues from convenience stores, VIP lounges, advertising and car parking charges at the Mexican airports , while the Montego Bay airport contributed Ps. 7.6 million in car parking charges.

This represents the greatest committed investment for the Company to date. For the period from April 1 to December 31, 2015, the Montego Bay airport did not undertake improvements to concession assets.

 

Total operating costs during 12M15 increased by Ps. 1,237.2 million, or 44.5% compared to 12M14, mainly due to the consolidation of the Montego Bay airport, which had operating expenses of Ps. 653.7 million for the nine months from April 1 to December 31, 2015.

Ø Cost of services for the Mexican airports increased by Ps. 136.1 million, or 11.7%, in 12M15 compared to 12M14, composed primarily of the following costs:

 

-Other operating expenses for 12M15 increased by Ps. 75.6 million, or 37.1%, compared to the same period of 2014, due to an increase in professional services fees of Ps. 37.7 million, an increase of Ps. 22.1 million for supplies for convenience stores and VIP lounges, a Ps. 8.0 million increase in the reserve for doubtful accounts, as well as minor supplies for Ps. 2.9 million, among other expenses.

 

-Maintenance costs for 12M15 increased by Ps. 34.1 million, or 15.3%, compared to 12M14, mainly due to maintenance of checked baggage inspection equipment, operating areas, air conditioning, computer equipment, replacement of baggage equipment parts and building cleaning services.

 

-Employee costs increased by Ps. 31.6 million, or 8.0% during 12M15, mainly due to an increase in wages and salaries.

 

-Security and insurance costs increased by Ps. 10.4 million in 12M15, or 5.4% compared to 12M14.

 

-Utility costs declined Ps. 15.6 million, or 10.9%, in 12M15 compared to 12M14, mainly due to a decline in electricity consumption resulting from cost control initiatives implemented at the airports as well as the decrease in electricity rates.

 

GAP Fourth Quarter 2015 Report

Page 12 of 23

 

 

Ø Other Income during 12M15 increased by Ps. 211.2 million, mainly due to the recognition of the Ps. 189.8 million gain from the determination of the fair value of the acquisition of DCA and MBJ. This is a one-time effect without cash inflow and is explained further under Fair Value of the DCA-MBJ Acquisition Assets below. Additionally, the Company recognized income from other services of Ps. 30.4 million, which was offset by the amount spent for repairs for the damage caused by natural disasters, net of the amount recovered from insurance of Ps. 7.6 million, among others.

 

Ø Cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12) during 12M15 increased by Ps. 556.8 million, or 197.5% compared to 12M14. During the period from April 1 to December 31, 2015, the Montego Bay airport did not undertake any improvements to concession assets.

 

Operating margin for 12M15 increased by 50 basis points, from 49.9% in 12M14 to 50.4% in 12M15. Operating margin, excluding the effects of IFRIC 12, increased by 380 basis points, from 52.5% in 12M14 to 56.3% in 12M15. The nominal value of operating margin increased by Ps. 1,323.5 million, or 47.9%.

 

EBITDA margin decreased 180 basis points, from 66.5% in 12M14 to 64.7% in 12M15. EBITDA margin, excluding the effects from IFRIC 12, increased by 210 basis points, from 70.1% for 12M14 to 72.2% in 12M15, The nominal value of EBITDA increased by Ps. 1,554.7 million, or 42.1%, of which the Montego Bay airport contributed Ps. 561.9 million for the nine months from April 1 to December 31, 2015. Additionally, the Company recognized a Ps. 189.8 million gain for the fair value of the DCA acquisition.

 

Finance results increased by Ps. 448.8 million in financial expenses, from Ps. 8.0 million in 12M14 to Ps. 456.8 million in 12M15. This increase was mainly due to a foreign exchange rate loss during 12M15 of Ps. 374.3 million, as a result of a peso depreciation from Ps. 15.25 per U.S. dollar at April 20, 2015 to Ps. 17.21 per U.S. dollar at December 31, 2015, derived from the US$ 191.0 million U.S. dollar-denominated loan obtained in connection with the acquisition of DCA. This loss was offset by the exchange rate gain of Ps. 35.9 million during 2015 mainly driven by our assets denominated in U.S. dollars.

 

The effect of the foreign exchange rate loss was partially offset by the recognition of Ps. 482.4 million in revenues from currency translation effects during 12M15. Additionally, the Company had the following financial expenses: (i) Ps. 36.2 million in financing interest expenses related to the Montego Bay airport’s debt for the period of April 1 to December 31, 2015; (ii) interest expense paid on loans for capital investments in Mexico of Ps. 138.9 million; and (iii) Ps. 23.4 million in financing interest expense paid for the acquisition of DCA. These expenses were partially offset by an increase in interest income of Ps. 80.1 million.

 

GAP Fourth Quarter 2015 Report

Page 13 of 23

 

 

Net income and comprehensive income in 12M15 increased by Ps. 1,010.7 million, or 45.1% compared to 12M14, mainly due to Ps. 507.6 million contributed by the Mexico airports, Ps. 230.9 million contributed by the Montego Bay airport for the period of April 1 to December 31, 2015 and Ps. 189.8 million as a result of gain from the fair value determination of the acquisition of DCA and MBJ. Income taxes increased Ps. 332.7 million in 12M15 compared to 12M14. The Montego Bay airport’s tax expense was Ps. 74.1 million for the period of April 1 to December 31, 2015 (a 25% tax rate), while the Mexican airports experienced an increase in current tax expenses of Ps. 165.9 million and an increase in deferred tax expenses of Ps. 92.7 million, due to inflation of 2.13% in 12M15 compared to inflation of 4.08% in 12M14.

 

Statement of Financial Position

 

The consolidation of DCA and MBJ had a positive impact on the following items in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2015: cash and cash equivalents of Ps. 439.0 million, trade accounts receivable of Ps. 80.8 million, equipment and machinery of Ps. 413.7 million, improvements to concession assets of Ps. 1,996.0 million and airport concessions of Ps. 2,912.9 million.

 

Total liabilities at 12M15 increased by Ps. 6,317.0 million compared to 12M14. This increase was primarily due to: (i) the US$ 191.0 million (Ps. 3,284.2 million) bridge loan obtained for the acquisition of 100% of DCA’s shares; (ii) a Ps. 850.0 million bond issued in Mexico’s debt market for capital expenditures financing; (iii) the Montego Bay airport’s financial debt of Ps. 663.9 million; (iv) deferred tax liabilities of Ps. 818.9 million due to MBJ’s concession value; (v) a Ps. 336.6 million increase in accounts payable; (vi) a Ps. 128.3 million increase in guarantee deposits received from clients; (vii) Ps. 99.4 million in income taxes payable and (viii) Ps. 79.1 million in concession taxes payable, among others.

Fair Value of the DCA-MBJ Acquisition Assets

 

The acquisition of businesses is accounted for, in accordance with NIIF 3 Combination of Businesses, under the purchase method and requires the identification of goodwill or a gain in the fair value due to the transaction.

 

At September 30, 2015, the Company concluded the preliminary measurement of the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as a result of the DCA-MBJ acquisition, as well as their accounting treatment. This fair value gain was deemed to be Ps. 161.9 million, which was recognized in the consolidated financial results in the line item Other Income at that date. However, in the definitive calculation made on December 31, 2015, the Company determined an adjustment for Ps. 27.8 million in 4Q15, defining the definitive fair value as Ps. 189.7 million. The participation of DCA in SCL Terminal Aéreo Santiago, S.A. (“SCL”) was not recognized since that concession concluded September 15, 2015. This investment will have a recovery value of approximately US$ 4.5 million, between 2016 and 2017.

 

The measurement of the fair value of the net assets from the acquisition of DCA and MBJ resulted in Ps. 3,969.9 million, which, minus the non-controlling interest of Ps. 852.8 million, equaled Ps. 3,117.1 million. This amount, when compared to the total payment amount of Ps. 2,927.4 million at the acquisition date, generates a gain in fair value of Ps. 189.7 million, which is recognized in the consolidated comprehensive financial statements under Other Revenue at December 31, 2015.

 

Recent Events

 

On January 19, 2016, and February 15, 2016, the Company paid back the short term loans with Scotiabank and BBVA Bancomer that were used for the DCA acquisition in 2015 for US$ 96.0 million and US$ 95.0 million, respectively. These loans were paid from the proceeds of two new 5-year loans, for US$ 95.5 million each, obtained on that same date as the repayment from Scotiabank and BBVA Bancomer at variable rates of 30-day Libor plus 99 and 105 basis points, respectively. These long term loans will not increase the Company’s current debt levels.

 

On January 29, 2016, the Company successfully completed the first reopening of the GAP 15 long-term bond certificates (the “GAP 15 Bond Certificates”) under the Ps. 9,000.0 million program approved by the Mexican Securities and Exchange Commission (“CNBV”) on February 16, 2015. Eleven million bonds were issued at a nominal value of Ps. 100 each, for a total principal amount of Ps. 1.1 billion. Interest will be payable every 28 days at a variable rate of TIIE-28 plus 24 basis points. Principal will be payable at maturity on February 14, 2020. The placement price for these additional GAP 15 Bond Certificates was Ps. 99.694371 due to accrued interest payable upon issuance and the 34 basis points spread of the new issuance. The proceeds from the issuance will be allocated to finance investments set forth in the Company’s Master Development Program for 2016.

Company Description:

 

Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (GAP) operates 12 airports throughout Mexico’s Pacific region, including the major cities of Guadalajara and Tijuana, the four tourist destinations of Puerto Vallarta, Los Cabos, La Paz and Manzanillo, and six other mid-sized cities: Hermosillo, Guanajuato, Morelia, Aguascalientes, Mexicali and Los Mochis. In February 2006, GAP’s shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “PAC” and on the Mexican Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “GAP”. In April 2015 GAP acquired 100% of Desarrollo de Concesiones Aeroportuarias, S.L., which owns a majority stake of MJ Airports Limited, a company operating the Sangster International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

In accordance with Section 806 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and article 42 of the “Ley del Mercado de Valores”, GAP has implemented a “whistleblower” program, which allows complainants to anonymously and confidentially report suspected activities that may involve criminal conduct or violations.

Exhibit E: Consolidated stockholders’ equity (in thousands of pesos):

 

As of April 1, 2015, 100% of DCA has been consolidated, including its 74.5% participation in the Montego Bay airport. The remaining 25.5% belongs to Vantage; thus, for presentation purposes, the stake held by Vantage appears in the Stockholders’ Equity of the Company as a non-controlling interest. Also, DCA holds a 14.77% stake in the Santiago airport in Chile, the results of which are recognized through the equity method. It is important to mention that, on September 30, 2015, the concession to operate the Santiago airport in Chile expired, consequently, those assets were immediately returned to the Chilean government and the new operator.

 

As a part of the adoption of IFRS, the effects of inflation on common stock recognized pursuant to Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (MFRS) through December 31, 2007 were reclassified as retained earnings because accumulated inflation recognized under MFRS is not considered hyperinflationary according to IFRS. For Mexican legal and tax purposes, Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V., as an individual entity will continue preparing separate financial information under MFRS. Therefore, for any transaction between the Company and its shareholders related to stockholders’ equity, the Company must take into consideration the accounting balances prepared under MFRS as an individual entity and determine the tax impact under tax laws applicable in Mexico, which requires the use of MFRS. For purposes of reporting to stock exchanges, the consolidated financial statements will continue being prepared in accordance with IFRS, as issued by the IASB.

[1] Revenues from improvements to concession assets are recognized in accordance with International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” (IFRIC 12), but this recognition does not have a cash impact or an impact on the Company’s operating results. Amounts included as a result of the recognition of IFRIC 12 are related to construction of infrastructure in each quarter to which the Company has committed in accordance with the Company’s Master Development Plan. All margins and ratios calculated using “Total Revenues” include revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12), and, consequently, such margins and ratios may not be comparable to other ratios and margins, such as EBITDA margin, operating margin or other similar ratios that are calculated based on those results of the Company that do have a cash impact.
