· Revenues from improvements to concession assets declined by Ps. 129.4 million, or 27.0%.

· Total revenues increased by Ps. 368.8 million, or 13.5%.

- Aeronautical services revenues include:

i. Revenues from the Mexican airports increased by Ps. 363.0 million, or 26.3% compared to 2Q16, generated mainly by a 15.2% increase in passenger traffic, as well as higher passenger fees as a result of inflation.

ii. Revenues from the Montego Bay airport increased by Ps. 28.1 million, or 9.9%, compared to 2Q16, mainly due to the 7.3% increase in passenger traffic and an average 3.0% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar compared to 2Q16.

- Non-aeronautical services revenues include:

i. The Mexican airports contributed an increase of Ps. 90.9 million, or 19.0%, driven mainly by an increase in revenues from businesses operated by third parties of Ps. 83.2 million, while revenues from businesses operated directly by the Company increased by Ps. 13.3 million.

Beginning in October 2016, the Company changed its operating strategy, turning over the operations for the convenience stores to a third party in some of the airports, which leads to a mixed-revenue model and to a decrease in revenues but an increase in the EBITDA margin level, as well as profitability that GAP had with the direct operations. The EBITDA margin generated from the convenience store business line, under the mixed-operating structure, increased from 38.2%, in 2Q16 to 61.5%, in 2Q17.

ii. The Montego Bay airport reported an increase in revenues of Ps. 16.2 million, or 15.5%, compared to 2Q16, driven by an average 3.0% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, as well as due to the 10.8% increase in revenues compared to 2Q16.

 

 

Amounts expressed in thousands of Mexican pesos.

- Revenues from improvements to concession assets^[1]

Revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12) declined by Ps. 129.4 million, or 27.0%, compared to 2Q16, as 2016 was the year with the highest committed investment under the Master Development Program for 2015-2019. During 2Q17, the Montego Bay airport did not undergo any improvements to concession assets.

Total operating costs during 2Q17 decreased by Ps. 20.2 million, or 1.3% compared to 2Q16, and comprised the following costs:

- A decrease of Ps. 45.3 million at the Mexican airports, or 3.7%, mainly due to a decrease in cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12) of Ps. 129.4 million, or 27.0%, which was offset by an increase in cost of services for Ps. 33.7 million, or 9.6%, an increase in concession taxes of Ps. 22.5 million, or 24.3%, an increase in technical

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

 

 

assistance of Ps. 20.2 million, or 28.4%, as well as an increase in depreciation and amortization of Ps. 13.2 million, or 5.7%.

- Operating costs at the Montego Bay airport increased by Ps. 25.1 million, or 9.5% compared to 2Q16, mainly due to higher costs for rights to concession assets of Ps. 14.0 million, or 14.1%, cost of services for Ps. 7.3 million, or 8.8%, and depreciation and amortization costs of Ps. 3.6 million, or 4.5%.

Operating margin for 2Q17 increased by 730 basis points, from 44.7% in 2Q16 to 52.0% in 2Q17. Operating margin, excluding the effects of IFRIC 12, increased from 54.3% in 2Q16 to 58.6% in 2Q17. Operating income increased by Ps. 389.0 million, or 31.9% compared to 2Q16.

EBITDA margin increased by 630 basis points from 57.0% in 2Q16 to 63.3% in 2Q17. EBITDA margin, excluding the effects of IFRIC 12, increased by 230 basis points, from 69.1% in 2Q16 to 71.4% in 2Q17. The nominal value of EBITDA increased by Ps. 405.9 million, or 26.1%. The EBITDA margin in 2Q17 for the Mexican airports was 74.8%, excluding the effects of IFRIC 12, and for the Montego Bay airport, it was 52.7%.

Financial cost was Ps. 329.6 million in 2Q17, from a net cost of Ps. 283.5 million in 2Q16 to a net gain of Ps. 46.1 million in 2Q17. This amount mainly comprises:

- A foreign exchange gain of Ps. 129.7 million in 2Q17 compared to a loss of Ps. 230.6 million in 2Q16, due to an 8.0% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar in 2Q16 compared to a 5.1% appreciation in 2Q17. This generated an exchange rate gain of Ps. 360.3 million. This effect was offset by a net foreign exchange loss due to the currency translation effect of Ps. 481.3 million, compared with 2Q16.

- In 2Q17, interest expenses increased by Ps. 93.1 million compared to 2Q16, mainly due to an increase in interest rates, as well as due to an increase in total debt.

- Interest income increased by Ps. 62.4 million, due mainly to increases in both the Company’s treasury and in interest rates.

Comprehensive income in 2Q17 increased by Ps. 70.5 million, or 7.7%, compared to 2Q16.

Income before income taxes increased by Ps. 718.3 million, or 76.8%. This increase was mainly offset by an exchange rate loss from a currency translation effect of Ps. 481.3 million. The current tax amount rose by Ps. 54.5 million, while the deferred tax gain increased by Ps. 112.1 million, since there was a 0.6% deflation in 2Q16 versus 0.3% inflation in 2Q17.

Operating costs for the Mexican airports in 1H17 declined by Ps. 53.6 million, or 2.2% compared to 1H16, mainly due to a decrease in cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12) of Ps. 258.7 million.

- In 1H17, interest expenses increased by Ps. 141.8 million compared to 1H16, mainly due to an increase in interest rates, as well to as two bond issuances each for Ps. 1.5 billion in July 2016 and April 2017.

(in thousands of pesos):

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

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

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