1            General information and significant event of the period

 

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 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, 2019.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements have been approved for issuance by the Company on May 19, 2020.

 

Significant event of the period

 

In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. The nature of COVID-19 led to worldwide shutdowns and halting of commercial and interpersonal activity and several governments around the world, including Latin American governments, rapidly implemented drastic measures to contain the spread, including but not limited the closing of borders and prohibition of travel to and from certain parts of the world for a time period. Specifically, the governments and transportation authorities in the majority of the CAAP’s countries of operations have issued flight restrictions.

 

The recent COVID-19 virus outbreak has generated a disruption in 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.

 

Depending on how the situation evolves, governments may impose tougher measures including the extension of the travel bans for longer periods. In addition, concerns about the Coronavirus are negatively impacting travel demand (and therefore the Company’s business) generally.

 

In this context, CAAP has formed a crisis committee composed of the Company’s CEO and operating CEOs of each subsidiary to assess its operations, including potential reductions in operating costs while maintaining quality and safety standards. The Company is also in conversations with the relevant regulatory agencies and aviation and transportation authorities in each of its countries of operations to review mitigation measures, as it navigates this unprecedented environment. CAAP has also further enhanced safety and hygiene protocols across its airports to protect the well-being of passengers and personnel.

 

The Company has developed a four-pronged strategy and implemented a number of actions aiming to mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 virus, as follows:

 

§ Employees and passengers: The Company has further enhanced safety and hygiene protocols across its airports to protect the well-being of passengers and operating personnel. For essential staff working on premises, health gear was provided and additional sanitizing policies established. The Company has also established remote working when possible.

§ Cost controls and cash preservation measures: CAAP has introduced reductions in operating costs by:

 

- Reducing personnel expenses including salary reductions, suspension of salary increases and freezing new hiring, mandatory use of pending vacations and/or advancing vacations to employees when possible, placing operating employees on furlough in certain geographies.

- Reducing maintenance and other operating expenses while maintaining the quality and safety standards, required to support the minimum level of operations.

 

As a result of these combined measures, the Company expects a sharp decrease of total cash operating costs and expenses excluding concession fees under this crisis scenario.

 

The Company is also aggressively managing working capital by negotiating with its suppliers the extension of payment terms and reducing its capex program.

 

§ Negotiations with regulatory bodies and government support: The Company has started discussions with regulatory agencies to renegotiate concession fees payments to align to the current environment. The Company has also requested deferral of tax payments in its main markets.

 

§ Re-equilibrium of the concession agreements: Under the concession contracts framework, the amounts and mechanisms for compensation will be negotiated with authorities and may include a reduction in the concession fee amount and/or mandatory capex, increasing tariffs, extending the tenor of the concession or a combination thereof. CAAP is in the initial stages of this process, which requires going through administrative regulatory channels.

 

§ Financial position and liquidity: As cash preservation is a critical focus, the Company is taking the following measures:

 

- Cancelling all non-mandatory capital investments and deferred non-priority projects.

- Implementing a set of cost control measures to reduce operating expenses and negotiate payment terms with the suppliers to limit additional cash outflows.

- Obtaining a deferral of principal and interest payments of debt and obtaining additional funding.

 

Please refer to Note 19 for the implementation of mitigation initiatives focused on preserving financial position.

 

For the purpose of facing credit risk, the Company has suitably controlled credit risk through its constant monitoring of accounts receivable, anticipating mitigation initiatives to protect said receivables. Provision for bad debts currently deems to be adequate in connection with the amounts of the existing receivables. The Company considers too early to reflect any additional expected credit losses as of March 31, 2020, and will monitor very strictly the situation in the next months.

 

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the three-month period ended March 31, 2020 reflect the impact of these events and current market conditions, depending on the duration of the COVID-19 crisis and continued negative impact on economic activity, the Company may experience further negative results and liquidity restraints.

 

As a result of the above and considering that the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, the full extent to which the Coronavirus will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity is unknown. The Company continues to assess the evolution of COVID-19 virus outbreak in order to identify the unforeseen potential effects that could alter its business and performance.

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, 2019. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years 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, 2019, 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 conformity 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, 2019. Nevertheless, judgments, assumptions and estimations in the light of current circumstances as described in Note 1, have been revised.

 

Assets and liabilities are classified as current if settlement is expected within 12 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, 2019, except of changes in liquidity and credit risks regarding COVID-19 outbreak, see Note 1.

 

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.

 

In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as hyperinflationary in the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceeds 100%. Considering that the inflation in Argentina has exceed the 100% three-year cumulative inflation rate in July 2018, and that the rest of the indicators do not contradict the conclusion that Argentina should be considered a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes, the Group understands that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 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 March 31, 2020 was 303.35 (283.44 as of December 31, 2019) and the conversion factor derived from the indexes for the period ended March 31, 2020, was 1.07.

 

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

Basis of presentation (Cont.)

 

Application of IAS 29 in financial reporting of Argentine subsidiaries and associates (Cont.)

 

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 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.

 

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 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 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 “Intersegment Adjustments” column.

 

The information regarding the Company’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, 2019 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. 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 of March 29, 2019, AA2000 exercised an option of the asset revaluation for tax purpose included in Law No. 27.430 of Argentina, generating a deferred tax gain of ARS 1,615 million (approximately USD 37,256), as well as a higher current tax of ARS 517 million (approximately USD 11,922).

 

In order to determine the net taxable income of AA2000 at the end of this period, the tax inflation adjustment determined in accordance with articles No. 95 to No. 98 of the income tax law has been incorporated into the tax results for a total amount of ARS 409 million (approximately USD 6,344), due to the fact that the estimated price index variation for fiscal year 2020 will exceed 15%. Likewise, the income tax law allows the deferral of the charge generated by the tax inflation adjustment in six consecutive years, as a result, ARS 79 million (approximately USD 1,225) was recognized in current tax liabilities and ARS 330 million (approximately USD 5,119) as deferred tax liabilities.

During March 2020, the Company identified impairment indicators in its cash generating units across all of its business operational segments due to drastic measures undertaken by governments, as flight restrictions and the closing of borders, to contain COVID-19 spread (see Note 1).

 

Therefore, the company performed an impairment test based on cash flow projections covering the remaining concession periods (value in use), based on key assumptions estimated with historical information and management judgment. The key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amount are 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 cash-generating units (CGUs) of a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that are expected to benefit from such business combination.

 

As of March 31, 2020, the recoverable amount of the each defined CGU exceeds its carrying amount, except from Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“ICASGA”).

 

ICASGA performed an impairment test based on cash flow projections covering the remaining concession period of 21 years (value in use), based on key assumptions estimated with historical information and management judgment. The key assumptions were: number of passengers, fees, future operating expenses and discount rate.

 

The carrying value of the assets impaired was as follows:

 

    Net assets before
impairment
    Impairment     Net assets after
impairment
 
ICASGA     67,905       (4,490 )     63,415

The discount rate used was the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) which is considered to be a good indicator of capital cost. WACC was determined considering the risk of investing in equity, in airport sector and country.

 

The nominal discount rate used was 8.76% calculated from a Rolling WACC method considering the effects of debt over the capital and re-leverage of Beta.

 

As the calculation of the impairment applied to the intangible assets has as one of its main variables the discount rate, ICASGA carried out a sensitivity analysis showing the impact that it would have on the result if different rates were used. The result of this analysis is shown in the table below:

 

As of March 31, 2020:

 

    Estimated rate
(Minus 1,0%)
    Nominal Rate
(8.76%)

Impairment value     (3,095 )     4,490       11,074  
Effect     (7,585 )             6,584  

 

The number of passengers is the other main assumption for impairment test, for current impairment test. In the current impairment test it was assumed a compound annual growth rate of 4,87% between 2021 and 2039. The result of this sensitivity analysis is shown in the table below:

 

As of March 31, 2020:

 

    Estimated rate
(Minus 1,0%)
    Passenger’s CAGR
(4,87%)
    Estimated Rate
(Plus 1,0%)
 
Impairment value     14,067       4,490       (5,705 )
Effect     9,577               (10,195 )

 

The Company additionally tested the value of the goodwill for impairment, resulting in no impairment charges to be recognized

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 Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for losses in these financial statements, are adequate based upon currently available information.

 

Brazil legal proceedings - Tax Proceedings

 

On September, 2014, ICAB started a lawsuit that discusses the collection of Property and Urban Territorial Tax (“IPTU”) by the Federal District. On October, 2014, the Judge granted a provisional decision, suspending the tax collection. On April, 2015, a favorable sentence was handed down to the ICAB, dismissing the collection as unfounded. On March, 2017, the State Court confirmed that sentence, based on previous decisions from the Supreme Court. After that, the Supreme Court had a new trial on a different case, where the taxpayers lost. That led the State Court to hold a new trial. On April, 2018, the decision was slightly changed. The court still said ICAB did not have to pay IPTU, but it was stated that stores that had contracts with ICAB that were not connected with the airport or airline services did have to pay IPTU. Both parts appealed again from that decision, so it was sent to the Supreme Court. The decision in regards to these appeals is now pending.

 

Based on a different interpretation of this latest decision, the Federal District started a new lawsuit, demanding the payment of R$ 5 million of IPTU. On March of 2020, ICAB presented a defense stating that this tax could not be imposed by Local Government over an airport that belongs to the Federal Government, what is endorsed by decision still valid on the lawsuit previously mentioned. Up to now, the judge has not decided the case. Many airports in Brazil are facing the same discussion.

 

There are no other lawsuits or legal proceedings different from the ones included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

 

b. Commitments

 

Re-bidding of Natal Airport Concession

 

On March 5, 2020, CAAP announced that its subsidiary Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“ICASGA”) filed a request to the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (“ANAC”) to commence the re-bidding process of the International Airport of São Gonçalo do Amarante (“Natal Airport”), pursuant to Law No. 13,448 of July 5, 2017, and ANAC Resolution No. 533 of November 7, 2019. This process will have several stages, at the present time, ANAC is processing its preliminary analysis and should take a position on the matter in the coming months.

 

If the request is approved, the operation of Natal Airport will be transferred to a different operator after a new bidding process, and an indemnification payment will be made to ICASGA, to be determined by authorities, which will be primarily based on non-amortized capital expenditure investments. In the interim, ICASGA will maintain all airport operations, with the same safety and service quality, as well as commercial and employment contracts.

Re-bidding of Natal Airport Concession (Cont.)

 

Several factors drove the Company’s decision to seek return of this concession. Passenger traffic has been negatively impacted by the adverse economic conditions in Brazil over the past years, particularly affecting tourism activity in the country, which resulted in lower than expected passenger traffic. At Natal Airport in particular, total passenger traffic reached 2.3 million in 2019, compared to the 4.3 million expected as per the feasibility study. In addition, as the Natal Airport concession occurred in 2011 and was the first airport concession in Brazil, passenger tariffs lag those of all other privatized airports in the country under the same tariff scheme, which as of December 2019 are in average 35% higher than Natal Airport tariffs and air navigation tariffs charged in other airports are 301% higher than in Natal Airport. This situation has required CAAP to make capital contributions to sustain this concession and thus allow ICASGA to remain in compliance with all of its financial obligations to the Brazilian Government and financial institutions.

 

As it is still only a request with the intention of re-bidding, which will go through several stages as previously mentioned, at this moment there is no accounting impact of this operation in ICASGA nor CAAP financial figures, the measurement and the accounting will be carried out according to the terms of the addendum or contract, if signed.

 

Council of State judgement – Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. (“TA”) expansion plan

 

On February 13, 2020, the Council of State issued a judgement rejecting the appeal lodged by, inter alia, Italy's Ministry of the Environment and Protection of the Land and Sea, Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, Italian Civil Aviation Authority (“ENAC”), Municipality of Florence, Region of Tuscany, Metropolitan City of Florence and TA on the decision of the Regional Administrative Court of Tuscany No. 723 of 2019.

 

TA, in full compliance with the judgement, has already taken steps to satisfy the conditions and to coordinate the actions to be taken, together with the competent entities — and first and foremost the ENAC — to move ahead with the project, noting that the work done was carried out according to the opinions and instructions provided by the competent ministries and the competent Environmental Compatibility Assessment (“VIA”) Commission, by virtue of the positive opinions obtained from the Italian VIA Commission, Italy's Ministry of the Environment and Protection of the Land and Sea, Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Italy's Ministry for Infrastructure and Transport.

 

In this context, on February 20, 2020, the Board of Director of TA acknowledged and examined the content of the judgement of the Council of State and resolve to approve the renewal of the VIA procedure and the implementation of further procedures that prove necessary in relation to the development of Florence airport’s Master Plan according to the terms emerged in the Council of State judgement and also taking into account the letter received on that date from the ENAC where it requires that the analysis, study and design activities be launched, thereby confirming its interest in the construction of the new runway.
