ASUR ANNOUNCES 4Q25 RESULTS
MWN-AI** Summary
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (ASUR) has announced its fourth-quarter results for 2025, showcasing a modest increase in total passenger traffic of 0.9% year-over-year. This figure reflects varying performance across its operating regions: in Mexico, passenger numbers edged up by 0.1%, buoyed by a 0.7% increase in international traffic countered by a 0.5% decline in domestic travel. Puerto Rico experienced a more pronounced setback, with a 3.1% drop in overall traffic, primarily due to a 4.2% decline in domestic travel. Conversely, Colombia reported a robust growth of 5.7%, underpinned by increases in both international (9.6%) and domestic (4.6%) passenger volumes.
Financially, ASUR's revenues surged by 21.6% to Ps.10,969.1 million, though excluding construction services, revenues remained flat compared to the previous year. Notably, the commercial revenue per passenger increased slightly by 1.1% to Ps.131.7. However, consolidated EBITDA dropped 4.8% to Ps.4,867.1 million, with the adjusted EBITDA margin slipping to 66.4% from 69.7% in Q4 2024. The company reported a cash balance of Ps.11,116.3 million and a low debt to EBITDA ratio of 0.8x, indicating strong liquidity.
A significant highlight of the quarter was the completion of the acquisition of ASUR’s retail concessions at major U.S. airports, which added Ps.133.1 million in revenues and Ps.86.1 million in EBITDA from the acquisition date through year-end. Despite the weaker performance metrics, ASUR continues to leverage its position as a key airport operator in the Americas and expand its operational footprint.
MWN-AI** Analysis
Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (ASUR) has recently reported its fourth-quarter results for 2025, revealing several key insights for potential investors. Despite a modest overall increase in passenger traffic of 0.9% year-over-year, varying trends across different regions present both opportunities and challenges.
Notably, passenger traffic in Colombia increased by a commendable 5.7%, driven by higher international and domestic travel. In contrast, Mexico's traffic growth stagnated at 0.1%, with a slight decline in domestic travel, and Puerto Rico experienced a significant downturn of 3.1%. These mixed performance metrics indicate that while ASUR’s Colombian operations are flourishing, its Mexican and Puerto Rican airports are underperforming.
Financially, revenues surged by 21.6% YoY, largely attributed to construction services. However, core revenues excluding construction remained flat, raising concerns about sustainable growth. The decline in consolidated EBITDA by 4.8% points to margin pressures despite increased total revenue, reflecting challenges in operational efficiencies.
The recent acquisition of airport retail concessions in the U.S. signifies ASUR's strategic move towards diversifying its revenue streams and enhancing its retail offerings. Nonetheless, given that cash holdings have decreased significantly by 44.6% YoY, potential investors should closely monitor ASUR’s cash flow and debt levels, especially with a Debt-to-EBITDA ratio at 0.8x, which, while manageable, may require cautious oversight.
For investors, ASUR represents a mixed outlook. The growth in Colombian passenger traffic and strategic retail expansion may offer upside potential, but the stagnation and declines in its core markets call for a conservative approach. Therefore, investors might consider a wait-and-see strategy, possibly looking for signs of recovery in the Mexican and Puerto Rican markets before taking substantial positions in the stock.

Definitions
Concession Services Agreements (IFRIC 12 interpretation). In Mexico and Puerto Rico, ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line, "Construction Revenues," reflecting the revenue from construction of, or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line "Construction Costs" because ASUR hires third parties to provide construction services. Because equal amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the amount of Construction Revenues does not have an impact on EBITDA, but it does have an impact on EBITDA Margin. In Colombia, "Construction Revenues" include the recognition of the revenue to which the concessionaire is entitled for carrying out the infrastructure works in the development of the concession, while "Construction Costs" represents the actual costs incurred in the execution of such additions or improvements to the concessioned assets.
Majority Net Income reflects ASUR's equity interests in each of its subsidiaries and therefore excludes the 40% interest in Aerostar that is owned by other shareholders. Other than Aerostar, ASUR owns (directly or indirectly) 100% of its subsidiaries.
EBITDA means net income before provision for taxes, deferred taxes, profit sharing, non-ordinary items, participation in the results of associates, comprehensive financing cost, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative to cash flow or as an indicator of liquidity. Our management believes that EBITDA provides a useful measure that is widely used by investors and analysts to evaluate our performance and compare it with other companies. EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing EBITDA by total revenues excluding construction services revenues for Mexico, Puerto Rico, and Colombia and excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction of, or improvements to concessioned assets. ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line reflecting the revenue from construction of, or improvements to concessioned assets made during the relevant period. The same amount is recognized under the expense line "Construction Costs" because ASUR hires third parties to provide construction services. In Mexico and Puerto Rico, because equal amounts of Construction Revenues and Construction Costs have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the amount of Construction Revenues does not have an impact on EBITDA, but it does have an impact on EBITDA Margin, as the increase in revenues that relates to Construction Revenues does not result in a corresponding increase in EBITDA. In Colombia, construction revenues do have an impact on EBITDA, as construction revenues include a reasonable margin over the actual cost of construction. Like EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA Margin should not be considered as an indicator of our operating performance, as an alternative to cash flow or as an indicator of liquidity and is not defined under U.S. GAAP or IFRS and may be calculated differently by different companies.
