Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Drivers: Aeronautical revenues rose 12.6% in 4Q25, driven by new tariff implementations in Mexico (2025-2029 period) and a 2.9% increase in passenger traffic. Non-aeronautical revenues grew 13.3%, aided by the consolidation of cargo and bonded warehouse operations. Conversely, Jamaican airport revenues fell 35.7% due to Hurricane Melissa.
- Cost Structure: Cost of services increased 28.1% in 4Q25, primarily due to higher maintenance costs (48.5% increase) and employee costs (14.8% increase). Total operating costs decreased 0.9% year-over-year only because of a 25.6% reduction in non-cash "improvements to concession assets" (IFRIC-12) recognition.
- Profitability Impact: While EBITDA grew 7.5%, Net Income declined 17.4% in 4Q25. This divergence was caused by a significant increase in foreign currency translation losses (Ps. 351.6 million increase in expense) and higher interest expenses due to increased debt levels.
- Passenger Traffic: Total traffic decreased 0.9% in 4Q25 (15.88 million passengers) due to a 46.1% drop in international traffic at Montego Bay. Full-year 2025 traffic grew 2.5% to 63.69 million passengers.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
- 2026 Guidance: GAP projects 2026 growth compared to 2025 as follows: Passenger traffic (2-5%), Aeronautical revenues (9-12%), Non-aeronautical revenues (6-9%), Total revenues (8-11%), and EBITDA (8-11%). CAPEX is estimated at Ps. 13.5 billion.
- Exclusions: Guidance excludes the Cross Border Xpress (CBX) business combination, which is pending formalization. CBX generated USD 158.0 million in revenue in 2025 with a 68.7% EBITDA margin.
- Risks and Contingencies:
- Hurricane Melissa: Caused significant damage to Montego Bay Airport, suspending operations for several days in October 2025. Recovery depends on Jamaica's tourism infrastructure restoration.
- Jalisco Civil Unrest: Events on February 22, 2026, caused flight cancellations at Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta airports. Operations resumed with security support, but full schedule restoration is expected to take days.
- Tender Cancellation: The Turks and Caicos Islands government cancelled the Howard Hamilton International Airport redevelopment tender, ending GAP's participation.
- Currency Risk: Significant volatility in the Mexican Peso vs. USD impacted comprehensive income through translation effects.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Hurricane Recovery: Verify the pace of passenger traffic recovery in Jamaica and the extent of capital expenditure required for Montego Bay repairs.
- IFRIC-12 Impact: Confirm understanding that "Total Revenues" and "Total Operating Costs" include non-cash IFRIC-12 adjustments; analyze cash-based margins (EBITDA ex-IFRIC-12) for true operational performance.
- Debt Levels: Review the increase in bond certificates (Ps. 7.5 billion increase in liabilities) and its impact on future interest expenses.
- CBX Transaction: Monitor the status of the Cross Border Xpress acquisition and the expected consolidation date for financial statements.
- Tariff Implementation: Validate the sustained impact of the 2025-2029 tariff increases on Mexican airport revenues against potential traffic elasticity.
