1        General information and significant event of the period

 

1.1 General information

 

Corporación América Airports S.A. (the “Company” or “CAAP”) is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in the acquisition, development and operation of airport concessions. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Group”.

 

The Company’s shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “CAAP”.

 

The Company was formed as a private limited liability company under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on December 14, 2012. The Company is ultimately controlled by Southern Cone Foundation (“SCF”), a foundation organized under the laws of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The address of its registered office is in Vaduz.

 

The Group currently has operations in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Italy, Ecuador and Peru.

 

A list of the principal Group’s subsidiaries is included in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issuance by the Company on November 17, 2021.

 

1.2 Significant event of the period – Covid-19 pandemic

 

Covid-19 virus outbreak continues to disrupt the global economy and in particular the aviation industry resulting in drastic reductions in passenger traffic. The current health crisis is having and will likely continue to have a negative impact on passenger traffic levels and air traffic operations. However, as of September 30, 2021, an increase in traffic across all countries compared with the previous year period is experienced as travel restrictions are being lifted in most countries.

 

CAAP total passenger traffic as of September 30, 2021 increased 11.6% compared to the same period in 2020 with 22.4 million passengers served (20.1 passengers served in the same period last year).

 

Main CAAP’s actions taken in response to Covid-19 crisis are included in Note 1.2.1 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020.

 

Several measures to mitigate the effect of the pandemic continue to be implemented.

 

Management continuously monitors the Group’s performance through passenger and cargo traffic indicators, revenue and cost evolution, liquidity projections and scenario planning. The result of this continued review determines the Group’s response strategy. These processes require the use of various internal and external reference points to build projections, including estimates from industry associations such as the Airport Council International (“ACI”) and the International Air Transport Association (“IATA”), which following Covid-19 vaccination campaigns are both seeing signs of recovery which are expected to continue and improve in 2022.

2         Basis of presentation and accounting policies

 

Basis of presentation

 

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. 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, 2020. 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, 2020, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) of the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

 

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, 2020.

 

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, 2020.

 

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 September 30, 2021 was 524.69 (385.88 as of December 31, 2020) and the conversion factor derived from the indexes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021, was 1.36.

 

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 exchanges 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/(loss) for the period line.

 

This re-translation changes every prior reported quarterly consolidated statement of income in U.S. dollars, as a result, the impact of quarterly inflation adjustments and quarterly translation adjustments vary the results of operation quarter to quarter until year end.

2         Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Cont.)

 

New and amended standards adopted by the group

 

A number of new or amended standards became applicable for the current reporting period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective adjustments as a result of adopting these standards.

 

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, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) 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 to clients in different countries. The Group’s reportable operating segments are the seven countries in which the Group currently operates, which are Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Ecuador, Italy and Peru.

 

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

 

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.W and 4 included in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 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 airports 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 does not exclude the amortization of the intangible asset related to the fixed fee payable to the corresponding governments for the operation of airports concessions.

(**) As stated in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020, 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 2020, 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 2021, ANAC started a revision of the final amount referring to the reconstitution for the year 2020, resulting, as of September 30, 2021, in a reversal of USD 3,528 (USD 3,152 and USD 376 related to Brasilia and Natal airports respectively) compared to the amount that was initially estimated and recognized as an Other operating income as of December 31, 2020.

 

Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A (“TA”)

 

On July 26, 2021 Resolution N° 752 was issued confirming the contribution of € 10 million to TA included in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2020 and mandating the corresponding sector of the Direzione Attività Produttive to take the necessary actions to implement the disbursement. On August 16, 2021, the contribution was collected by TA.

 

On July 26, 2021 the European Commission approved, under the terms of the European Union law, an Italian grant of € 800 million to compensate airports and handling operators for losses caused by travel restrictions that Italy and other countries implemented in order to contain Covid 19 infections. The grant will be recognized only when it will be reasonably measurable and no unfulfilled conditions or other contingencies are pending.

As of September 30, 2021 and 2020, the Group identified impairment indicators in its cash generating units across all of its business operational segments due to drastic measures undertaken by governments, such as flight restrictions and the closing of borders to contain Covid-19 spread.

 

Therefore, the Group performed impairment tests based on cash flow projections covering the remaining concessions periods (value in use), based on certain assumptions that required management judgment combined with historical information such as number of passenger, fees, future operating expenses and discount rate.

 

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

-The Credit Facility Agreement between Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“ICASGA”) and the Banco Nacional do Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (“BNDES”) is secured by the pledge of the shares of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A, together with any dividends and distributions in connection therewith, as well as the fiduciary assignment of rights arising under the Natal Airport concession agreement and certain letters of guarantees issued by indirect shareholders and affiliates of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. for an amount of USD 6.1 million which was released during 2018. It also establishes a required pre-authorization by BNDES on payments of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. dividends if exceeding 25% of net profits.

 

The Credit Facility Agreement between Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia (“ICAB”) and BNDES is secured by the pledge of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia and Inframérica Participações S.A. shares, the fiduciary assignment of rights arising under the Brasilia airport concession agreement and letters of guarantee issued by indirect shareholders and affiliates of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia. It also establishes under certain circumstances a required pre-authorization by BNDES on payments of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia dividends if exceeding 25% of net profits and compliance of certain financial ratios.

 

During 2017 and 2018 ICAB and ICASGA entered into amendments and extension agreements with BNDES with respect to the above loans in the case of ICASGA including an early repayment of a large part of the original debt and in the case of ICAB including the extension of the final maturity and an increasing of the amount available under the credit facility.

 

In connection with such amendments and extension agreements, ACI Airports S.à r.l. and CAAP have agreed not to create any encumbrances on their shares in Inframérica, and not to sell, acquire, merge or spin-off assets or undertake any other action that results or that may result in a change in the current corporate structure of Inframérica or any change of control in Inframérica, without the prior consent of BNDES. ACI Airports S.à r.l. has agreed not to undertake any change of control in CAAP without the prior consent of BNDES. In addition, ACI Airports S.à r.l. has agreed to maintain a minimum credit rating of at least B- (the “Minimum Rating”) or a stand-alone rating (without including the sovereign rating) of at least BB+. The amendment and extension agreements also require additional security equivalent to the amount of twenty-four months of debt service for at least a two-year period (in the form of a bank guaranty, letter of credit, guaranty insurance or other acceptable modalities of guarantee), if the Minimum Rating is not maintained for any annual testing period. As of September 30, 2020, the Minimum Rating was not achieved and ICAB and ICASGA requested BNDES to provide a waiver regarding this obligation. Nevertheless, non-compliance with the Minimum Rating does not constitute an event of default under the agreements but additional security would be required. As of September 30, 2021, BNDES has authorized extensions of the term to meet the obligation for additional security or for obtaining a waiver from BNDES to November 30, 2021.

 

On May 25, 2021, ICAB cancelled an existing loan in R$ and entered into a new loan in USD with Banco Votorantim S.A. – Bahamas Branch for an amount of USD 3 million due in June 2022. This loan was secured with a guarantee signed by Banco Votorantim S.A. Brazil with ICAB (“Contrato de Prestaçao de Garantía”). This guarantee agreement, dated May 25, 2021, was in turn secured by a guarantee letter issued by CAAP for a total amount of USD 3 million or its equivalent in Brazilian Real which cannot be lower than R$ 16.2 million-plus interest. Further payments under the loan are protected from the exposure to U.S. dollars exchange rate fluctuation with a cash flow swap derivative with Banco Votorantim S.A. Brazil.

15        Contingencies, 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 financial statements, are adequate based upon currently available information.

 

Conflict with Aerolíneas Argentina S.A (“ARSA”)

 

On February 2, 2021 ARSA sent a document to AA2000, which contained a proposal of debt acknowledgment for the amounts owed until March 31, 2020 (ARS 120.6 million and USD 36.5 million). In the aforementioned document, ARSA proposed a payment plan in 72 monthly, equal and consecutive installments payable as from January 5, 2023. On February 4, 2021 AA2000 accepted the proposal.

 

Following the acceptance by AA2000 of the payment plan submitted by ARSA, on July 21, 2021, AA2000 sent a proposal to the corresponding authority in order to apply this credit against debts held with Fideicomiso de Fortalecimiento del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos.

AA2000 and ARSA continue negotiations to reconcile the remaining outstanding debt.

Acquisition of Cemes Aeroporti S.r.l. and formation of Toscana Aeroporti Costruzioni S.r.l.

 

On January 26, 2021, Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. (“TA”) signed an agreement to acquire a 51% stake in Cemes Aeroporti S.r.l., a recently-formed company operating in the construction sector, which has concurrently changed its corporate name to Toscana Aeroporti Costruzioni S.r.l. (“TAC”). This transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method since the Group acquired control over TAC which was therefore fully consolidated from the date on which control was exercised. This acquisition was made with a view to facilitating the necessary works for the planned infrastructural development at the Florence and Pisa airports committed to by TA.

 

The consideration for the transaction amounts to € 4.5 million, payable in five annual installments until December 31, 2025. In addition, the agreement between the parties envisages a call option exercisable by TA during the period between January 1, 2024 and July 1, 2024, to acquire a further 19% stake in TAC for a pre-set consideration of € 2.2 million. The transaction does not entail any contracts for the assumption of debt or assignment of receivables.

Puerta del Sur S.A. (“PDS”) Notes

 

On October 6, 2021 a second amendment to agreement for the issuance of Negotiable Obligations was executed (the “Amendment”). The Amendment provides an option in favor of PDS (the “Option”), to be exercised between October 6, 2021 and December 28, 2021, to prepay the entire principal amount and unpaid accrued interests. If this option is exercised, the balance will become due and PDS will have to pay an additional amount to the noteholders, ranging from 3.5% to 4.5% of the principal amount depending on the final repayment date).

 

Additionally, the Amendment allows PDS to eventually modify the management agreement. In the event such amendment occurs between October 6, 2021 and December 28, 2021, and PDS has not exercised the Option, it will have to pay the capital balance due under the Notes no later than 120 calendar days following the date of the amendment of the management agreement and will also be required to pay an additional amount between 1.5% and 4.5% of the principal amount according to the payment date.

 

AA2000 indebtedness

 

On October 28, 2021 AA2000 issued USD 208.9 million aggregate principal amount of 8.5% Class I Series 2021 Additional Senior Secured Notes due 2031 (the “Series 2021 Notes”) to repurchase and exchange 24.61% of the total original principal amount of the Existing Notes (Series 2017 Notes) and 66.83% of the original principal amount of Series 2020 additional Notes. Additionally, on November 4, 2021 AA2000 issued USD 64 million of Series 2021 Notes related to a new fund raising.

 

The Series 2021 Notes and the Existing Notes not exchanged are secured by the collateral currently securing the Existing Notes on a pro rata and pari passu basis. In addition, to secure its obligations under the Series 2021 Notes, AA2000, together with the relevant parties thereto, amended the cargo trust agreement dated August 9, 2019, entered into by AA2000 and the trustee (as amended, the “Cargo Trust”) in order to include holders of Series 2021 Notes as beneficiaries therein, granting them a security interest which is subordinated to (i) the rights of creditors under certain existing loans of AA2000, and (ii) any debt permitted to be incurred to finance or refinance any capital expenditures made or to be made pursuant to the concession agreement entered into by AA2000 with the Argentine National Government (as amended form time to time, the “Concession Agreement”) for the operation of our airports in Argentina.

 

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 the National Airports Regulatory Organization (Organismo Regulador del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos) (the “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.

 

On November 4, 2021 AA2000 additionally issued USD 62 million aggregate principal amount of Class 4 Senior Secured Notes related to a new money offering, having a maturity of seven years, i.e. November 1, 2028, bearing an annual interest rate of 9.5%. The Senior Secured Notes are secured by a first priority lien on the Cargo Trust on a pari passu basis with certain commercial bank lenders to AA2000 and a second priority lien with new debt incurred by AA2000 to fund infrastructure works for a total amount of up to USD 235 million.
