Disclosure Of Basis Of Presentation [Abstract]

Statement of compliance – These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IFRS), its amendments and interpretations issued and outstanding or issued and adopted early on the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements.

Translation into English – The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated from Spanish into English for use outside of Mexico.

Basis of preparation – The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for assets and liabilities assumed in the business combinations on the date of purchase, which were recorded at fair value, derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments with changes in profit and loss and the liabilities for defined benefits are recognized at present value.

–

Historical cost – Historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for goods and services.

–

Fair value – Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date, regardless of whether that price is directly observable or estimated using another valuation technique. In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Company takes into account the characteristics of the asset or liability if market participants would take those characteristics into account when pricing the asset or liability on the measurement date. When there are no market and/or market participants willing to create a market, IFRS establishes a fair value hierarchy that gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements).

The levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:

•

Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access on the measurement date;

•

Level 2 inputs are other than quoted prices included within Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

•

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

Control is achieved when the Company:

•

Has power over the investee;

•

Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and

•

Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

Consolidation of a subsidiary begins when the Company obtains control over the subsidiary and ceases when the Company loses control of the subsidiary. Income and expenses of a subsidiary acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the

consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the date the Company gains control until the date when the Company ceases to control the subsidiary.

Profit and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the consolidated financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with the Company's accounting policies.

All intragroup assets and liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows relating to transactions between members of the Company are eliminated in full on consolidation. Unrealized gains arising from transactions with equity accounted investees are eliminated against the investment to the extent of the Group’s interest in the investee. Unrealized losses are eliminated in the same way as unrealized gains, but only to the extent that there is no evidence of impairment.

Application of new and revised International Financing Reporting Standards.

Modification of International Financing Reporting Standards (“IFRSs” or “IAS”) and new interpretations that are mandatorily effective from 2022

IFRS 1 First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards

This amendment simplifies the application of IFRS 1 for a subsidiary that first adopts IFRS Standards later than controller Company, that is, if a subsidiary adopts IFRS Standards later than controller Company and applies IFRS 1 then a subsidiary may choose to measure the cumulative translation differences for all foreign businesses at the amounts included in the controller Company consolidated financial statements, based on the parent's transition date to IFRS standards.

The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

This amendment clarifies that, to perform the 10 percent test for derecognition of financial liabilities, commissions paid net of commissions received must be determined, a borrower must include only commissions paid or received between the borrower and the borrower, including fees paid or received by the borrower or the lender on behalf of the other.

The adoption of this standard had no impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Onerous contracts – Cost of Fulfilling a Contract - Amendments to IAS 37

Modifications in determining whether a contract is onerous, these requirements specify that a contract is onerous when the unavoidable costs of fulfilling the contractual obligations, that is, the costs of fulfilling the contract and the costs of terminating it outweigh the economic benefits. The enhancements clarify that the costs of fulfilling a contract comprise: incremental costs, direct labor and materials, as well as an allowance for other direct costs and the depreciation charge for property, plant and equipment used to fulfill the contract.

Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4, and IFRS 16: “Reference Interest Rate Reform” – Phase II: reflect the problems that will affect financial information when LIBOR is replaced by LIBOR. Alternative reference rate.

The Company applied the Phase 2 amendments retroactively. However, in accordance with the exceptions permitted in the Phase 2 amendments, the Company has elected not to restate comparative financial statements for prior periods to reflect the application of these amendments. Since the Company had no transactions for which the reference rate had been replaced by an alternative reference rate as of December 31, 2022, there is no impact on the balances of the opening consolidated statements of financial position as a result of the retroactive application.

Functional and presentation currency – The consolidated financial statements and notes as of December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, and for the years then ended, are prepared in pesos, which is both, the functional and reporting currency of the Company and are presented in thousands of pesos.

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including the fair value of assets arising on acquisition, are translated at the exchange rates as of year–end for each period.

Income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at the average exchange rate for the period of transactions. During 2020, 2021 and 2022, the average exchange rate were as follows:


Currency	2020			2021			2022
Pesos / USD	Ps.		21.4886	Ps.		20.2813	Ps.		20.1254
USD / Euros		USD$1.1413			USD$1.1835			USD$1.0539

Use of estimates and critical judgments in preparing the consolidated financial statements – The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies relating to the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and income and expenses of the relevant period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The following are estimates and assumptions that involve inherent uncertainty within the next financial year and are included in the following notes:

–

Expected credit loss (Note 6)

–

Definition of useful lives and depreciation and amortization periods (Notes 3.c. and 3.d.)

–

Capitalization of improvements to concession assets (Notes 3.d and 8)

–

Cash flow hedges (Notes 3.h and 15)

–

Probability of recovery of deferred income tax from tax loss carryforwards (Note 12.g)

–

Assumptions used to determine liabilities for retirement benefits (Note 17)

–

Contingent liabilities (Note 27)

In addition to the estimates, the Company makes critical judgments in applying its accounting policies, which have a material effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the decisions made are the most reasonable based on the information available, on the judgments made and the way it manages the operation of the Company. Critical judgments relate to the following:

Accounting for the Concession – Management believes it has carried out a comprehensive implementation of the standards applicable to the accounting treatment of its concessions in Mexico and Jamaica and it determined that, among others, International Financial Reporting Interpretation (IFRIC) 12 Service Concession Arrangements is applicable to the Company. The Company treats its investments related to improvements and upgrades to be performed in connection with the MDP for Mexican and Jamaican Entities under the intangible asset model established by IFRIC 12 and does not recognize a provision for maintenance, as all investments required by the MDP, regardless of their nature, directly increase the Maximum Tariff per traffic unit (MT). Accordingly, all amounts invested under the MDP have a direct correlation to the amount of fees the Company will be able to charge each passenger or cargo service provider, and thus, a direct correlation to the amount of revenues the Company will be able to generate. As result, management defines all expenditures associated with investments required by the MDP as revenue generating activities given that they ultimately provide future benefits, whereby subsequent improvements and upgrades made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets based on the principles of IFRIC 12. Additionally, compliance with the committed investments per the MDP is mandatory, as well as the fulfillment of the MT and therefore, in case of default in any of these obligations (MDP or MT), the Company could be subject to sanctions and even its concession could be revoked. To determine the amortization period of the intangible associated with the improvements and upgrades made to comply with the MDP, the Company focuses on the period in which it will generate future economic benefits or the concession term, whichever is less.

Income from operations – This line item is comprised of total revenues less the operating costs. Although the presentation of income from operations is not required by nor is it defined under IFRS, it is included in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income because management believes it represents a useful and reliable measure of the economic and financial performance of the Company.

Comprehensive income – Comprehensive income comprised the net income of the period, plus other comprehensive income (loss) items of the same period. For the years ended December 31, 2020, 2021 and 2022, other comprehensive income is represented by the effects of translation of foreign subsidiaries, actuarial remeasurements and the reserve of cash flow hedges of financial instruments net of taxes. At the moment the assets and liabilities giving rise to other comprehensive income are realized, the latter are recognized in the income statement as long as permitted under IFRS.

Classification of cost and expenses – Costs and expenses presented in the consolidated statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income were classified according to their nature.
