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 and Ecuador.

 

A list of the principal Group’s subsidiaries is included in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021.

 

These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been approved for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 17, 2022.

 

1.2 Significant events of the period

 

1.2.1 Conflict between Russia and Ukraine

 

Russia´s war against neighboring Ukraine continues to disrupt international travel from and to Russia and Ukraine and other destinations as the flights to Russia have been banned by Western countries and by the European Union, Russia has closed its skies for carriers registered in Western countries and carriers avoid overflying the war zone. It is likely that this war will continue to disrupt supply chains, cause instability in the global economy and disrupt international travel to/from airports operated by the Company, in particular those located in Armenia.

 

In addition, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, sanctions have been implemented against Russia, including, among others, travel bans and asset freezes impacting businesses, financial organizations and individuals of Russian origin some of which have been tightened as the war intensified. Wider sanctions and other actions could be imposed if the conflict further escalates.

 

During the first nine months of the year, there has been an increase in traffic in Armenia above internal projections, nevertheless and considering the uncertainty of the extension of the war and the additional measures and sanctions that could be imposed, the full extent by which the war will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity is unknown. The Company is closely monitoring the situation.

 

1.2.2 Covid-19 pandemic

 

Although Covid-19 virus continues to have an impact on the aviation industry, there was an increase in traffic across all countries in 2022 compared with the same period of previous year as travel restrictions imposed as a result of the pandemic have been lifted, mainly as from the second semester of 2021.

 

CAAP total passenger traffic as of September 30, 2022, increased 111.2% compared to the same period in 2021 with 47.3 million passengers served (22.4 million passengers served in 2021).

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, 2021. 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, 2021, 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, 2021.

 

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, 2021.

 

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, 2022 was 972.18 (582.46 as of December 31, 2021) and the conversion factor derived from the indexes for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, was 1.67 (1.36 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2021).

 

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.

2            Basis of presentation and accounting policies (Cont.)

 

Basis of presentation (Cont.)

 

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.

 

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 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 (“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.V and 4 included in our audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.

(**) As stated in Note 8 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2021, due to the impact generated by the pandemic, subsidiaries filed claims for economic-financial re-equilibrium of their respective concession contracts.

 

Brazilian economic-financial re-equilibrium

 

The Brazilian airports were able to file the claims as the Brazilian Government recognized 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 2021 and 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 their respective economic-financial balances based on preliminary estimations as of those dates.

 

During 2022, the final compensatory amounts for the year 2021 were determined, resulting, as of September 30, 2022, in an increase of USD 1,153 related to Brasilia airport and a reversal of USD 209 related to the Natal Airport compared to the amounts that had initially been estimated and recognized as Other operating income as of December 31, 2021.

 

During 2021, ANAC determined the final compensatory      amounts for the year 2020 , resulting, as of September 30, 2021, in a total reversal of USD 3,528 (USD 3,152 and USD 376 related to Brasilia and Natal airports respectively) compared to the amount that had initially been estimated and recognized as an Other operating income as of December 31, 2020.

 

Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A.´s compensation

 

In June 2022, the final amount referring to the compensation granted to Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. was determined, resulting in a reversal of approximately € 339 thousand (equivalent to USD 362).

As of September 30, 2022, the compensation estimated to be received regarding the concession assets transferred is equivalent to approximately USD 6.2 million and is included in Other Receivables within Non-Current assets of the Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Financial Position.

 

Due to the increase of traffic witnessed during 2022 across all countries as reported in Note 1.2.2, the Group has not identified impairment indicators except in the Brazilian segment.

 

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.

 

As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the recoverable amount of aforementioned CGU´s exceed their respective carrying amount.

On February 27, 2020, the ordinary general meeting of shareholders of AA2000 approved the creation of a Global Program for the issuance of Notes. The aforementioned program establishes the issuance of simple Notes not convertible into shares with a principal value of up to USD 500 million, or its equivalent in other currencies, during a period of five years commencing on the date of approval of the Global Program by the Argentine Comisión Nacional de Valores (“CNV”). i.e. April 17, 2020.

On May 20, 2020 AA2000 issued USD 306 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Cash/9.375% PIK Class I Series 2020 Additional Senior Secured Notes due 2027 (the “Series 2020 Additional Notes”) in exchange of 86.73% of the total original principal amount of AA2000 Existing Notes and obtained consents to certain proposed amendments and waivers to the indenture governing AA2000 Existing Notes after completion of required conditions; the approval of the National Airports Regulatory Organization (Organismo Regulador del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos) (the “ORSNA”) on April 24, 2020, issuing the Resolution No. 21/2020 pursuant to which the collateral assignment of revenue under AA2000 Existing Notes was extended to the Series 2020 Additional Notes in equal terms; and executing and delivering amendments to the 2019 Credit Facilities to provide for the effective deferral of payments of principal due thereunder on August 19, 2020 and November 19, 2020 that was satisfied on April 29, 2020. Accrued interest is capitalized quarterly. From May 1, 2021, the expiry date of the PIK Period, New Notes accrue interest at a rate of 6.875% per annum until their maturity date, payable quarterly. The main covenants and guarantees remain unchanged.

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 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 the 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 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.

-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. 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 Participaçoes 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 (the “Minimum Rating”) or a stand-alone rating (without including the sovereign rating) of at least B-/B3, which has been achieved in April, 2022, being in compliance as of September 30, 2022.

 

Additionally, as of December 31, 2021, ICAB did not paid in full the 2021’s fixed concession fee and, therefore, was not in compliance with certain covenant under the BNDES loan agreement.

 

The forgoing has occurred because, pursuant to Portaria 139, ICAB requested to reprofile 50% of fixed concession fee which was due and payable in December 31, 2021 and, even though, the Brazilian Ministry of Infrastructure had granted its approval, 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 ANAC. Although there can be no assurance as to the outcome of the proceedings, ICAB believes that based on the opinion of the ICAB’s external legal advisors, it is not likely that the writ of mandamus is rescinded by the justice.

 

In January 2022, ICAB cancelled an existing loan and entered into a new loan in U.S. dollars with Banco Votorantim S.A. – Bahamas Branch due in March 2023. This loan is secured by a guarantee letter issued by CAAP for a total amount of USD 2.7 million or its equivalent in Brazilian Real which cannot be lower than R$ 15.2 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.

 

Argentina proceedings

 

Aeropuertos Argentina 2000 S.A. (“AA2000”) legal proceedings

 

As stated in Note 26.a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, during 2013 and 2014, the Argentine Federal Administration of Public Income initiated different tax assessments proceedings against AA2000. In December 2020, the Court decided to return the proceeding to the first instance court in order to apply the regime foreseen under Law No. 27,562 for the 2006, 2007 and 2008 period. Regarding the periods 2009 to 2012, all the installments have been paid; on June 24, 2022, the request for termination of the criminal action and dismissal submitted by AA2000 has been accepted.

 

Conflict of AA2000 with Aerolíneas Argentinas (“ARSA”)

 

As stated in Note 26.a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, this air operator is currently AA2000’s main customer and recorded an outstanding debt with AA2000. The singularity of ARSA lies in its status as state-owned company, since it is owned by the Argentinian State, which is in turn the grantor of AA2000 Concession Agreement. Considering the situation and in accordance with IFRS 15, as from October 1, 2019, only revenue from passenger fees related to ARSA is being recognized.

 

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 by Fideicomiso de Fortalecimiento del Sistema Nacional de Aeropuertos with prior intervention of the Ministry of Transportation.

 

On April 5, 2022, the Ministry of Transportation initiated the planned intervention. On June 14, 2022, the ORSNA notified AA2000 that the Ministry of Transportation has completed its intervention, and approved the assignment in the terms described. Consequently, revenues, bad debt recovery, foreign exchange income and interest income for total amounts of approximately USD 4.8, 10.1, 13.0 and 4.8 million respectively, were recognized.

 

Aeropuertos del Neuquén S.A. (“ANSA”) legal proceedings

 

As stated in Note 26.a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, on October 26, 2018, ANSA was served with a complaint from a supplier alleging ANSA’s breach of contract for the financing of the construction of a hangar, by such supplier, at the airport of Neuquén. On July 7, 2022, the first instance judgment rejected the claim and imposed the payment of the Court costs to the losing party who appealed the sentence.

Aeropuertos del Neuquén S.A. (“ANSA”) legal proceedings (Cont.)

 

Additionally, ANSA´s former attorney is claiming the payment of his fees provisionally assessed in the amount of ARS 117.6 million obtaining an attachment order on ANSA´s bank account and certain vehicles for that sum plus ARS 60.0 million to cover potential Court costs and interests, amounting to a total of ARS 177.6 million (equivalent to USD 1.2 million). ANSA has appealed the attachment order and requested its replacement by an insurance policy that had already been issued and which is guaranteed by Corporación America S.A, which was accepted by the Court with the approval of the other party.

 

ANSA also received a claim from a supplier of USD 0.5 million regarding a breach of contract. Within the framework of the lawsuit, the court ordered an attachment order on ANSA´s bank accounts in the amount of USD 250, which was replaced by an insurance offered by ANSA in the amount of USD 0.5 million. A hearing was held on July 14, 2022, and the evidence offered by both parties is currently being produced.

 

Brazilian proceedings

 

Civil proceedings

 

In June 2022, SINA (the airport workers union) filed a lawsuit against ICAB demanding the payment of hazard pay in the percentage of 30% of the salary for all workers who work on the airport apron, alleging that the fueling of the aircrafts exposes workers to a risk of explosion that must be compensated according to Brazilian law. The total estimated amount involved is R$ 7,049,338 (equivalent to USD 1.3 million).

 

Tax proceedings

 

In September 2014, ICAB initiated a lawsuit that disputes the legality of the Property and Urban Territorial Tax (“IPTU”) collected by the Federal District. In October 2014, the judge granted a provisional decision suspending the tax collection, and in April 2015, a further ruling found the collection as unfounded.

 

In June 2022, the Brazilian Supreme Court confirmed the decision of the Federal District Court excluding ICAB´s responsibility for the payment of IPTU and restricting this tax to the areas occupied by third parties who pursue activities unrelated to the airport. This lawsuit is now concluded and the precedent is fixed.

In March 2022, the claim was accepted and the determination of the withholding tax to be paid was declared null.

 

In addition, as stated in Note 26.a) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021, the SRI had determined that TAGSA has to pay roughly USD 3.2 million in connection with differences established by the SRI for the 2017 withholding tax determination. TAGSA submitted a judicial claim that was accepted on October 18, 2022 and the determination of the withholding tax to be paid was declared null. The SRI has 30 days to submit a cassation complaint.

For the majority of instruments at amortized cost, the fair values are not materially different to 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 September 30, 2022:

 

   Fair value   Carrying amount 
Trust funds   64,238    54,887 
Long-term borrowings   1,165,428    1,292,439

AAP was not previously classified as an asset held for sale or as a discontinued operation. The comparative Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Income, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Cash Flow and segment information has been re-presented to show the discontinued operation separately from continuing operations.

 

For the sale of the shares in the associate, CAAP committed to make a one-time payment to the buyer for assumed liabilities and future CAPEX commitments of AAP amounting to USD 17.2 million, of which, as of September 30, 2022, USD 10.2 has already been paid (of which USD 7.7 million were paid during 2022). The remaining USD 7.0 million will be paid in November 2022.

 

As of September 30, 2021, the discontinued operation resulted in a loss of currency translation adjustment of USD 0.3 million and a loss of USD 1.9 million which are shown in the statement of comprehensive income and in the statement of income respectively.
