Material Changes vs. Prior Period

Revenue Drivers

• Aeronautical Revenues: Increased Ps. 40.7 million (5.0%) in Q2 2013 due to higher passenger charges from traffic growth. This was partially offset by a Ps. 4.6 million decrease in services (baggage inspection, airbuses) outsourced to third parties since November 2012.
• Non-Aeronautical Revenues: Rose Ps. 43.9 million (18.0%) in Q2 2013, driven by third-party business lines (+Ps. 32.2 million) and direct operations (+Ps. 15.2 million).
• IFRIC 12 Adjustments: Revenues from improvements to concession assets decreased Ps. 42.1 million (26.2%) due to lower committed investments for 2013 compared to 2012. This is a non-cash accounting adjustment.

Expense and Margin Analysis

• Cost of Services: Increased Ps. 30.3 million (12.4%) in Q2 2013, primarily due to maintenance costs postponed from Q1 (Ps. 12.6 million increase) and higher reserves for doubtful accounts.
• Finance Expenses: Shifted from a net income of Ps. 28.9 million in Q2 2012 to a net expense of Ps. 17.6 million in Q2 2013. This Ps. 46.5 million swing was caused by lower interest capitalization, a Ps. 28.0 million decrease in the market value of Pemex bonds, and lower interest income on cash balances.
• Tax Impact: Income tax expense decreased Ps. 14.7 million in Q2 2013, partially offsetting the decline in pre-tax earnings.

Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

• Regulatory Environment: The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SCT) regulates maximum aeronautical rates. Regulated revenues accounted for 68.4% of total revenues in 1H 2013. The 2012 compliance review is underway.
• Forward-Looking Statements: Management notes that future results depend on economic conditions, industry trends, and capital expenditure plans. There is no guarantee that expected trends will materialize.
• Accounting Policy Changes: The Company adopted IFRS 13 (Fair Value Measurement) and other amendments effective January 1, 2013.
• Unusual Items: The decrease in finance income was significantly impacted by the market value fluctuation of Pemex bonds and lower cash balances. The decline in IFRIC 12 revenue is non-cash and reflects lower investment commitments rather than operational weakness.

Investor Verification Checklist

• IFRIC 12 Impact: Verify the distinction between reported margins (including non-cash IFRIC 12 revenue) and operational margins (excluding IFRIC 12), as the latter better reflects cash-generating performance.
• Finance Expense Volatility: Review the sensitivity of net income to interest rate changes and the market value of the Company's bond portfolio (specifically Pemex bonds).
• Passenger Traffic Trends: Confirm the sustainability of the 6.3% passenger growth, particularly at key hubs like Guadalajara and Los Cabos, versus declines at smaller airports like Mexicali and Morelia.
• Regulatory Compliance: Monitor the outcome of the SCT's 2012 compliance review regarding maximum aeronautical rates.
• Dividend Payout: Confirm the timing and amount of the remaining dividend payment (Ps. 302.5 million) due before November 30, 2013.
