Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Acquisition Impact: The consolidation of Montego Bay airport is the primary driver of growth. In 2Q15, Montego Bay contributed Ps. 264.9 million in aeronautical revenue, Ps. 82.6 million in non-aeronautical revenue, and Ps. 222.9 million in EBITDA.
• Passenger Traffic: Total terminal passengers in Mexican airports increased 8.6% (529.2 thousand passengers). Growth was led by Guadalajara (12.9%), Puerto Vallarta (16.9%), and Guanajuato (23.5%).
• Revenue Mix: Aeronautical services revenue grew 43.3% and non-aeronautical services grew 37.8%. Revenues from "improvements to concession assets" (IFRIC 12) surged 221.8% due to the start of the 2015-2019 Master Development Program.
• Margin Compression (Reported): Reported operating margin decreased 110 basis points to 47.8% and EBITDA margin decreased 280 basis points to 61.7%. However, excluding non-cash IFRIC 12 effects, operating margin increased to 54.2% and EBITDA margin increased to 69.9%.
• Foreign Exchange: A Ps. 47.5 million loss in 2Q15 resulted from a 2.66% depreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, impacting the U.S. dollar-denominated letter of credit for the DCA acquisition.

Guidance, Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Regulatory Environment: The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SCT) confirmed the Company satisfied maximum rate compliance for 2014. Regulated revenues for Jan-June 2015 were Ps. 2,243.9 million.
• Legal Resolution: On June 17, 2015, the Mexican Supreme Court ruled in favor of GAP regarding ownership limitations in its bylaws, definitively concluding a challenge by Grupo México.
• Dividend Distribution: A dividend of Ps. 1.82 per share is payable before August 31, 2015, and Ps. 1.50 per share before December 31, 2015.
• Debt Refinancing: The Ps. 2,973.4 million bridge loan used for the DCA acquisition is expected to be refinanced with a long-term credit in the coming months.
• Accounting Changes: The filing notes upcoming effective dates for IFRS 15 (Revenue) in 2017 and IFRS 9 (Financial Instruments) in 2018.
• Unusual Items: The significant increase in "improvements to concession assets" revenue and costs (IFRIC 12) is a non-cash accounting recognition related to infrastructure commitments and does not impact cash flow or operating results in a traditional sense.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Acquisition Valuation: Verify the final fair value of Montego Bay airport assets, as the filing states current figures are preliminary.
• Debt Structure: Confirm the terms and timing of the refinancing for the Ps. 2,973.4 million bridge loan.
• IFRIC 12 Impact: Review the specific infrastructure commitments under the 2015-2019 Master Development Program to understand the magnitude of future non-cash revenue recognition.
• Currency Exposure: Assess the ongoing impact of peso depreciation on U.S. dollar-denominated liabilities and future earnings.
• Dividend Payout: Confirm the Company's liquidity position relative to the upcoming dividend payments totaling Ps. 1,744.9 million.
