Adolfo Castro Rivas: Last year, during the Q1 conference call, we laid out the 7 key strategic objectives for the company to implement in the short term and medium term. Two notable advances made last year towards achieving these goals include the formation of the sustainability committee. This committee has three members and will support the board directors in making decisions focused on environmental, social, and governance matters and incorporate them into the company's long-term strategy. The committee will support the organization in integrating sustainability and corporate social responsibility at the highest level of the corporate governance in the company. The committee held its first meeting earlier this year. We also made progress with respect to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in 2022. We began installing solar panels at the airports of Cancun, Mérida, and Oaxaca will generate 900,000 kWh annually in each airport.
Last year during the first quarter conference call, we laid out the seven key strategic objectives for the company to implement.

Adolfo Castro Rivas: We are already seeing benefits with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. One of our objectives for the next year is to expand this project to other airports in the group. As we continue to make progress to get closer to achieving our goals, we will provide you updates at the appropriate time. Now, moving to a review of our operational and financial results together with some color on travel demand during the quarter. Note that all comparisons are year-over-year unless otherwise noted. We are pleased to report record high passenger traffic, revenues, and EBITDA in Q1 of the year, but we are more cautious for the remaining of the year given the easy comps from Omicron during the first 2 months of 2022 and the negative effects of the suspension of operations of two Colombian airlines during the quarter.
We're already seeing benefits with the reduction.
And in terms of emissions.
One of our objectives for the next year is to expand this project all their exports.

Columbia comparisons during the quarter.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: We delivered sustained growth in the number of passengers traveling through our airports, up 19% and reaching a record of nearly 18 million. Mexico posted the fastest growth, with total passenger traffic up 23%, reflecting increases across all of our airports. Domestic travel was up in the high 20s, with traffic at Villahermosa above pre-pandemic levels, while we expect Veracruz to fully recover this year. International traffic was up in the high teens, mainly driven by steady demand from the United States and Europe and an up tick in Canada, which recovered pre-pandemic levels during Q1. These, all regions that we operate within, have recovered 12 months pre-pandemic levels. Puerto Rico followed with traffic up 22%, with domestic traffic up in the high teens and internationally up by nearly 50%.
We believe we're sustaining growth in the number of passengers traveling through or whatever.

Please all regions that we operate women have recovered 12 months people then you can leverage.
Well the vertical portal with traffic up 22% with domestic trumping bulk high teens internationally.
Oh, my nearly 50%.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Lastly, total passenger traffic in Colombia increased 9%, with domestic traffic slowing to the middle single digits and international passengers to the high 30s. As anticipated, this slower growth reflects an increase in VAT from 5% to 19%, which is impacting traffic trends and the suspension of operations of Viva Air Colombia at the end of February and Ultra Air during March. These airlines represented 17.4% and 1.9% of 2022 passenger traffic in Colombia respectively. On a consolidated basis, the share of domestic traffic over our total traffic stood at 59.3% of total traffic compared with 60.1% in Q1 2022. Now, moving on to the P&L. As a reminder, all reference to revenues and costs exclude construction revenues. Before beginning with our key financial figures, revenues increased 22%, reaching all-time high of MXN 6.3 billion.
Lastly, total package injunctions in Colombia increased 9% with domestic traffic is more into the middle single digits and international passengers.

Now moving to the P&L.
As a reminder, all references to revenue sharing costs exclude.
Instructions.
Before.
Beginning with our key financial figures revenues increased 22%, reaching all time high.
$6 3 billion pesos.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: This robust performance is attributed to the solid growth in both aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues across our three geographic regions. Mexico represented 75% of total revenues, while Puerto Rico accounted for 15%, and Colombia contributed 10%. Commercial revenues continued to show an upward trend, increasing by 20% overall, with Mexico up 23%, Puerto Rico 18%, and Colombia 13%. On a per passenger basis, commercial revenues increased to MXN 123 from nearly MXN 121 in the year-ago quarter. By region, commercial revenues per passenger were in the range of MXN 145 to 147 in Mexico and Puerto Rico. Of note, these figures include the effect of the stronger Mexican peso, which appreciated 10.36% and 36.23% versus the US dollar and the Colombian peso since the end of Q1 last year through Q1 of this year.
This robust performance you should treat with good solid growth in both out of a month ago.
Revenues across our three geographic regions.
Sickle represent considered responders.
Revenues, while Puerto Rico accounted for 15% and Colombia contributed 10%.
Commercial lending has continued to show an upward trend increasing by 22% overall with Mexico on 23%, Puerto Rico, 18% and Columbia, 13%.
On a per passenger basis commercial revenues increased to 123 batches from nearly 121 branches in the year ago quarter.
By region conventional revenue as you can imagine we're in the range of 145, 247 in Mexico and Puerto Rico.
Of note. These figures include the effect of the Mexican peso with Jefferies.

This was the U S dollar on the Colombian peso since the end of the first quarter last year.
During the first quarter.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Commercial revenues per passenger in Colombia were up in the low single digits in Mexican pesos, impacted by the currency depreciation, but increased 37.8% in local currency, reflecting the opening of 29 commercial spaces over the past 12 months. Moving to costs, total comparable operating expenses were up 12%, below the 22% revenue growth in the quarter. Note that comparable costs exclude the effect of the MXN 196 million expense recovery in Q1 2022, resulting from the application of the CARES Act in Puerto Rico. Expenses in Mexico increased in the low 20s, below the 26% revenue growth. Higher costs were primarily due to personnel, energy, and maintenance, along with increased technical assistance and concession fees in line with the higher EBITDA.
Commercial revenues per passenger in Colombia, we're up in the low single digits in Mexican peso was impacted by the currency depreciation will increase.
Seven 8% in local currency, reflecting the opening of 29 commercial spaces over the past 12 months.
Moving to.

Expenses in Mexico, increasing below 20 below the 26% revenue growth.
Of course, we're primarily due to personnel and energy and <unk>.
Along with increased digital spend.
Concession fees in line with the higher EBITDA.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: We have worked hard to maintain our cost control policy, the 20% increase in the minimum wage had a negative impact on cleaning and security contracts. In Puerto Rico, comparable costs were relatively stable as a reduction in the maintenance reserve more than offset higher cost of services. Costs in Colombia were generally flat compared to a high single digit increase in revenues. Solid passenger traffic growth, together with higher commercial revenues and increased operating leverage, resulted in another quarter of record high EBITDA reaching MXN 4.5 billion, up 23%, and adjusted EBITDA margin of nearly 72%, up 90 basis points from the year ago quarter. Again, this quarter, we delivered high profitability in our three regions of operation. Mexico posted a high increase in EBITDA of over 28% to MXN 3.6 billion.
We have worked hard to maintain our cost control policy.
The 20% increase of the minimum wage had a negative impact on cleaning and security conscious.
The Rico comparable because were relatively stable.
That reduction in the maintenance reserves more than offset higher cost of services.

So all of those passenger traffic growth together with kind of your commercial revenues and increased operating leverage resulted in another quarter of <unk>.
EBITDA, reaching four 5 billion pesos up 23%.
The EBITDA margin of nearly 72% up 90 basis points from the year ago quarter.
Again this quarter, we will leave their houses.

Almost 28%.
$3 6 million pencils.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: In Puerto Rico, EBITDA was up 4% to MXN 520 million, while Colombia EBITDA rose 12% to over MXN 415 million. By geography, adjusted EBITDA margin improved 80 basis points in Mexico to nearly 77%, and by 150 basis points in Colombia to just over 63%. In turn, Puerto Rico posted a 260 basis points decline in adjusted EBITDA margin to nearly 55%. To recap, we delivered yet another strong quarter, characterized by a record-breaking traffic and revenues. The combined effect of these achievements on our operating leverage led to an increase of 15% in net majority income, reaching MXN 2.5 billion for the quarter. In terms of the balance sheet, we maintain a robust cash position of MXN 15 billion and a well-balanced debt profile.
EBITDA was up 4% to 520 million vessels, once Colombia, EBITDA rose, 12% to over 415 million versus <unk>.
Geography, adjusted EBITDA margin.

We present net majority income, reaching <unk> 5 billion expenses for the quarter.
In terms of the balance sheet, we maintain a robust cash.
Cash position of 15 billion pesos and it will vary.
Sorry.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Account receivables were up 44%, mainly reflecting the high passenger traffic across our airport network, as well as a surge in Puerto Rico from the recognition of other revenues disclosed in the Q4 2022. We anticipate collecting these receivables within the H1 2023. To a lesser extent, Viva Air Colombia and Ultra Air outstanding receivables to ASUR were a combined sum of MXN 22 million. Capital investment during the quarter were MXN 143 million, of which nearly 50% was allocated to Mexico, MXN 47 to Puerto Rico, and MXN 6 million were invested in Colombia. Before we move to the Q&A portion of the call, some brief closing remarks. We are pleased to have started the year with a strong note. Nevertheless, as we think about the remaining of 2023, the year-over-year comps will not be easy as we experienced in the Q1, as I mentioned earlier.
Receivables were up 44%, mainly reflecting the higher passenger traffic.
Our airport network.
As well as as George.
You'll recall from the recognition of other revenue as disclosed in the fourth quarter 2022 we anticipate collecting these receivables within the first half of 2000.

Before we move to the Q&A portion of the call. Some brief closing remarks.
We are pleased to have just started the year with a straw.
Nope.
The list as we think about the remaining 23 the year over year comps will not be easy as we experienced in the first quarter.
As I mentioned earlier.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Two of the Colombian airlines have recently suspended operations. Meanwhile, we will continue to look for ways to further improve our cost structure and drive margin improvements. Our balance sheet is healthy, and we will continue to invest to support future growth. Separately, on the news fronts, at the end of the quarter, the President of Mexico sent to the Mexican Congress a bill to reform 23 laws. The bill was to provide, among other things, additional grants for the Mexican government to modify or to revoke license authorizations, and permits. It's not clear whether the Congress will pass this bill, and if it passes, the impact it may have on the Mexican economy and the company's operation. We believe this bill will be disclosed by the Mexican Congress during Q3 of this year.
Two of the Columbia recently suspended operations. Meanwhile, we will continue to look for ways to further improve our cost structure and drive margin improvement.
Our balance sheet is healthy and we will continue to invest to support future growth.
Separately on many fronts at the end of the quarter, the Brazil, Mexico Central the Mexican Congress appeal to lead form 23 launch reveal was provided for.
For like among other things additional funds for the Mexican government to modify all towards more license amortization sanction.
Patients in this.
And it's not clear whether that Congress would that be.
And if the vessels.
But it may have on the Mexican economy and company separation.
We believe this deal will be disclosed, but the Mexican Congress during the third quarter.
Yeah.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: In conclusion, with a keen focus on providing value to our shareholders, our board of directors has proposed an ordinary net cash dividend of MXN 9.93 per share, payable in May, and an extraordinary net cash dividend of MXN 10 per share payable in November for each of the ordinary B and BB shares.

Thank you. Our first question is from Gary Mendez with J P. Morgan. Please proceed with your question.
Guilherme Mendes: Hi, Adolfo. Good morning, and thank you for taking my question. I have two questions. The first one is related to the regulatory noise that you just mentioned regarding the concession bill sent by AMLO to Congress. The question is, if you see any kind of risk for your upcoming MDP negotiation. I understand there's still a lot of doubts, we haven't seen the full definition of it. What's your best guess on how this could potentially impact the sector as a whole? The second question is regarding to Colombia. As you mentioned, you have two less players operating on the region. How do you see the competitive environment in the region and the potential impact on traffic going forward? Thank you.
Hi, Adolfo good morning, and thank you for taking my question I have two questions. The first one is related to the regulatory noise that I just mentioned regarding the concession deal.
Send Miami to Congress.
The question is if you see any kind of risk are for Europe coming MTP negotiation I understand there is still a lot of doubts.
And we haven't seen the full definition of it but what's your best guess on how this could potentially impact the the sector as a whole and the second question is regarding to Colombia as I mentioned have tool at less players operating in the region. How do you see the competitive environment in the region and the Patel.
So impact on trust going forward. Thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Good morning. Well, the bill is not a concession bill. The bill is affecting all the entities that have received from the government a license, a permit, an approval, or an authorization, or a concession. It's not just for concession. This bill has some other things. It is not just to strengthen the power of the Mexican government in concessions. I'm not expert on laws or legal matters. You can read the 20F report, and you will see what my lawyers say about these documents. In the case of Colombia, yesterday at night, there was a communication from the Ministry of Transport, where they are approving the merge between Viva Air Colombia and Avianca under certain conditions. This may help in order that these airlines can restart operations.
Hi, good morning.
But really no concessions.
The beauty is affecting.
All begin to be the cab, Virginia from the government and license it badly.
One.
Or an authorization or concession is not just for construction.
Also these deals have some level of things.
It is not just to.
The strength the power of the Mexican government in conversations.
I'm not expert on launch or the legal matters you can read plenty of reports and we will see what my lawyers say about these are talking.
In the case of Colombia.
Instead, the various display up nine.
Was there a communication from the.
Transport, where they are approving the marriage.
Queen Viva, Colombia, and that'd be Erica under certain conditions.
This may help.
Northern there than.
We thought the operations.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: I receive a notification from Ultra Air that they want to restart operations, and this may improve the situation in Colombia, because what I believe is that currently, Avianca and LATAM does not have the possibility to absorb all the passengers these airlines left into the table. I hope that these two things will improve, and we will see information, I would say, over the next week.
Onshore I receive a notification from one player that they want to respond to producers and these may improve the situation in Colombia, because what I believe is that.
You can get the anchor and Latam does not have the possibility to absorb all the bathroom gives these are loans left into the data.
I hope that these two things.
Improve.
I would say probably by next week.
Guilherme Mendes: Okay. Thank you very much. Have a nice day, Adolfo.
Okay. Thanks, very much have a nice day ahead of them.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Rodolfo Ramos with Bradesco BBI. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from Rodolfo Ramos with Bradesco <unk>. Please proceed with your question.
Rachel Smith: Thank you. Good morning, Adolfo. A couple questions from my side as well. The first one is, if you can share a little bit on your expectations for international traffic, particularly coming from the US. I don't know if you have any visibility as to bookings or anything. We were looking at air travel searches from the US towards Cancun, and it looked like they're a bit off from what we saw at this time of the year in last year. Just wanted to get your thoughts there. I have a second question, a follow-up on the first one.
Thank you and good morning.
Couple of questions from my side as well. The first one is if you can share a little bit on your on your expectations for international traffic, particularly coming from the U S. I don't know if you have any visibility as to bookings or or anything we were looking at air travel searches from the U S tourist Scott Corning and then it looked like.
A bit off from from what we saw at this time of the year in last year. So so I just wanted to get your thoughts there.
And I have a second question a follow up on the first one.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Okay. Rodolfo, hi, good morning. We do not have too much or additional information of the one you have. Of course, we have the bookings up to the end of the winter season that ends almost at the end of April. What I expect is more stable growth, in the case of the US. The important point will be the summer in the case of the US on domestic, and towards the end of the year, again, the Colombian traffic.
Okay. Okay. Good morning.
We do not have too much or at the gym information over when you have of course, we have bookings after the end of the season of the winter season and almost at the end of April .
And what I expect is more stable.
In the case of the U S importantly point will be there.
Summer in the U S domestic.
And towards the end of the year.
Again, the Colombian traffic.
Rachel Smith: Okay, thank you. A follow-up on the previous question. On your MDP, I don't know if there's anything you can share as to the progress of your MDP. You mentioned that this reform doesn't contaminate, so to speak, the process. Just wanted to get any initial comments that you can make regarding perhaps tariff expectations or any projects in terms of CapEx. Just anything for us to have visibility at this time where, kind of the regulatory concerns are a little bit more heightened. Thank you, Adolfo.
Okay. Thank you and a follow up on the previous question.
On your M. D. P. I mean, I don't know if theres anything you can share.
As to the progress of your MVP I mean, you know the.
And you mentioned that this is reform doesn't it.
It doesn't contaminate so to speak the process, but just wanted to get your.
Any initial comments that you can make regarding perhaps a tariff expectations or any projects or in terms of capex.
Just anything for us to have visibility at this time, we're kind of like the regulatory.
Concerning side, a little bit more heightened thank you Alex.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Well, the only thing that I can say about the MDP is that the H1 of the year, normally the authority pays a visit to each one of the airports, basically to check two things. One is what we call the inventory. What is the real status of every single piece of the infrastructure at the airport? The second one is to review each one of the projects we have proposed to them. What I can say to you is that this program of visits have started, and they are at the airports as we speak. Towards the H2 of the year is when the government will start checking the passenger traffic. They can rate and final calculations.
Well the only the only thing that I can say about the mvpds that the first half of the year normally.
Dorothy.
And things are busy to each one of the airports basically to check two things one is to what we call. The inventory what are the yields that does everything.
Every single piece of the infrastructure at the airports and the second one is to review each one of these projects we have proposed to them.
What I can take to you is that these are.
Program obesity trial started.
They are.
At the airports as we speak.
So we're in the second half of the year's word is what the government to start checking the passenger traffic did gangrene and final regulations.
Rachel Smith: Okay. Thank you.
Okay. Thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: You're welcome.
Youre welcome.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Alberto Valerio with UBS. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from Alberto Valerio with UBS. Please proceed with your question.
Alberto Valerio: Adolfo, thank you for taking my question. I would like to do another follow-up on the MDP. You are the only one to provide a CapEx estimate for the following 5 years of the current MDP. If you're not mistaken, 2018, you provide a MXN 10 billion CapEx. Can you assure you that it's updated, if it makes sense, or if it not makes sense anymore? Another point is that CapEx that is postponed from the extraordinary MDP in 2021. If you could also add this extra CapEx to your planned CapEx back in 2018. Just to complement, do you think that the spread above the 10-year bond of Mexican bonds could be close to what we got in 2018, close to 1%, or do you think can be higher for the next year with the MDP? Thank you.
Hi, Bill.
My question that I would like to do another follow up.
Yeah.
Uh huh.
What they want you want to provide a capex needs for the following years.
And you cannot mistake training provide F N topics.
We still use that data to make sense of it.
And another point to that topic.
Upon from the external generic trend between one if you could.
This extra capex to your planned capex that can trend in industrial complex.
Blue Seatbelts.
It's spread between.
Oh, yes.
One dog and bond could be called Swag, we'd go out to 'twenty one.
Yeah.
Hi, Bob.
Next to that.
Thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Hello. Your line is cutting. I couldn't hear well your question, let me say that in the case of the MXN 2 billion that were postponed from the previous CapEx, of course, those will be considered in the current MDP numbers. Also, in the case of the situation of this postponement is due to the fact of the new passenger traffic forecast. The project got postponed because if we do not reach the levels of passenger traffic that is required to make the projects, the government takes the decision to postpone those projects in order not to affect the maximum rate. I know that you had some other questions, I couldn't hear.
Hello.
Your line is cutting I couldn't occurred well your question, but let me say that.
In the case of the two.
Billion patches that were postponed.
From the previous Capex of course, those will be things either in the current MVP numbers.
And also.
In the case.
Of the situation.
Each performance is due to the fact of the new bathroom Trumping August .
So the task force on the.
Because if we do not reach the levels.
Passenger traffic that is required to make the projects.
Got it.
Or take the decision to postpone those branches in order to be able to affect the maximum rate.
Okay.
I know that you had had some other questions, but I couldnt hear.
Alberto Valerio: Can I try again? It's better now?
Got it got it again, it's better now.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: It's really echoey.
It's extremely cognizant.
Alberto Valerio: I can follow up if you want, by the way. Thank you very much, Adolfo.
I can't I can follow up.
Thank you very much.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Okay, you're welcome.
Okay.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Juan Macedo with GBM. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from one Macedo with G. P. M. Please proceed with your question.
Juan Macedo: Hi, Adolfo. Thanks for the call and congrats on the results. I have two questions. My first question is regarding the commercial segment. We saw great results in unit revenues per passenger on Colombian concessions despite the Mexican peso appreciation. Could you give us some color on that dynamic? Is it due to commercial expansions, or does it come from passenger behavior?
Hi, Thanks for the color and congrats on the results I have two questions. My first question is regarding the commercial segment.
We saw great results in a matter of revenues per passenger on Colombia and concessions. Despite the Mexico peso appreciation did.
Could you give us some color on that dynamic is it due to commercial expansions or does it come from passenger behavior.
Yeah.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Well, this is coming from what we have done there. As I mentioned in the remarks, we have opened 29 spaces in the case of Colombia, and those are producing well results. Of course, as I mentioned during the initial remarks, probably we are not seeing the full effect of these in Mexican peso figures because of the appreciation of the Mexican peso versus the Colombian peso, that it was 36% over the last 12 months. If you put all of these on the top of the number we have presented in the report, you will see that the results in Colombia are very good.
Well this is coming from what we have going there.
I mentioned in the remarks, we have opened 29 basis in Colombia.
And those are producing wells. These sorts of course as I mentioned during the initial remarks, probably we are not seeing the full effect of it.
In Mexican peso figures because of the acquisition of the Mexican peso versus the Colombian peso that at 136% over the last 12 months.
So if you put all of these.
The number we have presented in the in the report you will see that.
The results in Colombia are very good.
Juan Macedo: Yeah, agreed. Thank you. My second question is regarding tariffs. Could you give us some detail on when and how the tariff increment implementations go during the quarter?
Yes, I agree.
Thank you and my second question is regarding targets could you give us some detail on where and how the various increments implementations go during the quarter.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Well, remember that the tariff, or the level of how much we reach of the maximum rate is measured once a year in a calendar year. Last year, we end up around 96%. I do believe, with the current expectation of inflation this year, probably we will be at 98% this year.
Well remember not retiring.
The level of how much we reach the maximum rates.
Once a year in the calendar year.
So last year, we ended up around 90% I do believe.
The current expectation of inflation of the year, probably will be at 98 BVA.
Juan Macedo: Great. Thanks for the color.
Great. Thanks for the color.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: You're welcome.
Youre welcome.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Bruno Amorim with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from Bruno Amorim with Goldman Sachs. Please proceed with your question.
Bruno Amorim: Hi. Good morning, Adolfo. Thank you for taking my question. It's a follow-up on MDP as well. I know you cannot comment on the outcomes, of course, but maybe you can help us understand where do we stand in terms of traffic, the need for CapEx, and then cost of capital, right? The first question would be, is it fair to say that traffic is now above what was initially expected when you and the regulators agreed on the extraordinary revision during the pandemic, given the sharp recovery in traffic? The second question would be, is there spare capacity to accommodate this additional demand without the need for higher CapEx, or all else held constant, should this eventually stronger than initially expected traffic rebound drive higher than initially expected CapEx? The last question would be on cost of capital.
Hi.
Thank you for taking my question.
It's a follow up on MVP as well I know you cannot comment on the outcomes of course, but maybe you can help us understand where do we stand in terms of you know.
Traffic the need for Capex, and then cost of capital right. The the first question would be you know is it fair to say that traffic is now above what was initially expected when you and the regulators I agree you're done the extraordinary revision during the pandemic given the sharp recovery in traffic and the second question would be.
You know if there is spare capacity to accommodate these additional demand without the need for higher Capex are all else held constant should this eventually stronger than initially expected traffic rebound to drive higher than initially expected Capex and then the last question would be on cost of capital you know at the moment.
Bruno Amorim: At the moment when you have reset the tariff and the CapEx plan during the pandemic, has the regulator adjusted the cost of capital as well or not? I'm asking this because at that moment in time, 10-year rates in Mexico were well below the current level, so this could have an implication for the direction of the tariffs as well. Thank you.
When you have a reset to the tariff and the Capex plan. During the pandemic have has the regulator I just had a cost of capital as well.
Our our notch I'm asking this because at that moment in time, you know 10 year rates in Mexico were well below the current level. So this could have an implication for the direction of the tariffs as well. Thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Hello, Bruno. In the case of traffic, yes. In some cases, traffic is higher than expected, in comparison with what we presented in our extraordinary maximum tariff revision. Remember that we did that in Q3 2021. That's for some airports. For some others it is not. In total, I would say probably it's higher, but just a bit. In terms of high CapEx, what I can say to you is that the important projects will come in the case of Cancun Airport. We are talking about terminal expansion. Remember that the MXN 2 billion, or the most important portion of the MXN 2 billion that was postponed in CapEx, was the expansion of four boarding gates in the case of Cancun terminal four. Of course, those are going to be included in the new MDP.
Hello Bruno.
Traffic yes.
Kansas is higher than expected.
In comparison with what we presented in our extraordinary mezzanine type of vision.
Remember that we need that and Thats, what 'twenty one no.
That's for some airports for some others. It is not in total I would say, probably it's higher but just to beat.
In terms of how you Kathryn what I can say to you is that.
The project.
Important projects will come and it gives them an airport.
We're talking about terminal expansion and remember that.
The 2 billion or more.
And then most important portion of the 2 billion.
Blended <unk> was the expansion of four point engaging it gives them.
Four.
And of course, those are going to be intuitive.
MVP in terms of cost of capital that will be measured.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: In terms of the cost of capital, that will be measured, as I said, during the Q3 and Q4 this year. Remember that the government uses the last 24 months of the Mexican paper issued in international markets long-term. We will be able to answer your question up to the Q3 or Q4 this year.
During the third and fourth quarter. This year remember that the government uses the last 24 months.
All right.
Mexican paper issue didn't get international markets long term. So we will be able to answer your question up to the third or fourth one or the year.
Bruno Amorim: Yeah. Just a follow-up on the cost of capital. When you and the regulator agreed on the extraordinary revision during the pandemic, has the allowed return been adjusted at that moment in time, reflecting the cost of capital at that time, or not?
Yeah, but just a follow up on the cost of capital when you when the regulator agreed on the extraordinary vision during the pandemic.
Has the allowed return being I just at that moment in time, reflecting the cost of capital at that time or not.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: It was adjusted, yes.
It wasn't just a guess.
Bruno Amorim: Okay. Thank you very much.
Okay. Thanks.
Thank you very much.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Filipe Nielsen with Citigroup. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from fully by Nielsen with Citi. Please proceed with your question.
Filipe Nielsen: Hi, Adolfo. Good morning or afternoon, and thanks for taking my questions. I have two questions on my side. The first one is, with the MDP review on the horizon, how should we think about the technical assistance fee? If you think that it's reasonable to consider that fee, given that ASUR is much more experienced versus back in 1998. The second question is, now that we are in the halfway mark of the 50-year concessions, do you think that it's fair to assume that ASUR could have some sort of opinion to renew its concessions? If it's too early to say, maybe some color on those two points. Thank you.
Helpful.
Good morning, or afternoon, and thanks for taking my questions. So I have two questions on my side. The first one is with the NDP reveal on the horizon.
How should we think about the technical assistance fee.
And if you think that it's reasonable to consider.
That.
That's fine.
Given that I'm sure is a much more experienced versus back in 1998 and the second question is.
How are now that we are in the half halfway part of the team.
T E concessions do you think that it's fair to assume that it could.
I have some sort of opinion to renew its concessions or if it's too early to say Ah maybe some color on those two points. Thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Hello. In terms of the technical assistance, it's important to say that this is not for free. We have an agreement with ITA that they have to comply with. Also, I have to say, this is one of the most important moments where they have to deliver, which is the case of the MDP. In the case of the renewal of the concession, the contract says that it's for 50 years, and it can be renewed. The contract doesn't say how, and I'm sure that I'm not going to be here in this company or maybe in this world when this will occur. For the moment, I'm not concerned about the renewal because that will or should occur in 2048.
Hello, Tim.
We're taking a look at boots is important to say that this is not for free.
We have an agreement with <unk> they have different languages.
And also I have to say this is one of the most important.
Moments, where they have to be either in the case of the MVP.
Indications from the renewal of the concession the contract says that installed 50 years, only because we've renewed the contract thousands anyhow.
And I'm sure that I'm not going to be here in this company and maybe even get worse.
When this will occur so for the moment I'm not concerned about it.
Because that is a well that will or should appear in 2048.
Filipe Nielsen: Great. Thank you very much for the call.
Great. Thank you very much for the color.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Gabriel Himelfarb with Scotiabank. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from Gabriel.
I'm also with Scotiabank. Please proceed with your question.
Gabriel Himelfarb: Hi, Adolfo. Thanks for the call. Just a follow-up question on the MDP. For modeling purposes, do you think it's appropriate we add a risk premium to the discount rate due to the current regulations that are being proposed in the Congress? Do you think we should consider additional CapEx, for example, connecting the terminals with the Tren Mérida or any tariff increase that could be allowed due to the Tulum Airport? Thank you.
Hi, Hello, Thanks for the call.
A follow up question on the MVP.
For modeling purposes, do you think a.
Propane, we add a risk premium to the discount rate due to the current regulations that being.
I've been here.
But both in the Congress.
And also.
Do you think we should consider additional capex.
Or for example, connecting the terminal with the trend.
Terry.
An increase that could be allowed due to the two airports.
Q.
[laughter].
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Well, in the case of the cost of capital or the discount rate, that has been defined as the work of the industry. Of course, the process to calculate that is the Mexican paper issued in the national market the last 12 months, average for the last 24 plus something. Okay. Again, that will be disclosed during Q3, Q4 this year. In the case of what you are saying about the connection with the Mérida train, we're working today as we speak with the government to be able to connect the Mérida train with the airport. Yes, that will be or should be considered in the next MDP.
Q1 indicates some of the.
The cost of capital or the become great.
That has been defined at the walk of the industry So of course.
Process to complete that is.
The Mexican paper issued international market last month's average for the last 24 plus something okay.
But again that will be disposed during the third and fourth quarter. This year no indications of what you're seeing in both different niches within that you have clean we're.
We're working today as we speak with the government to be able to coordinate with my opinion with the airports and yes that will be or should be considered in.
And the next AEP.
Yeah.
Gabriel Himelfarb: Okay. In the case of the Tulum Airport, if the airport is to prove, do you think the government will allow you for higher tariffs that compensate the traffic growth?
Okay and in the case of the Loom Airport.
The airports to proved.
Do you think the government could provide well allow you for higher tariffs that compensate the traffic trends.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: It's not to allow the higher traffic. Remember that how we do the calculation is to forecast our passenger traffic in the future, and that, of course, includes all the effects, the economy, the tourism trends, hurricanes, Tulum Airport, everything.
He will pull along with higher drunk.
That's how we do the calculations borges, our passenger traffic in the future.
And that will of course include all the factors.
The economy appears some trends she regains therefore.
Okay.
Uh huh.
Gabriel Himelfarb: Okay. Thank you.
Okay. Thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: You're welcome.
You're welcome.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Francisco Suarez with Scotiabank. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from Francisco Suarez with Scotiabank. Please proceed with your question.
Francisco Suarez: Hello, good morning. Adolfo, thank you for the call. A question on your sustainability report. I was noticing that you are doing a really good job in overall energy consumption in absolute and relative terms compared to 2019 figures. I just noticed that in terms of water consumption and waste of non-hazardous waste, that is not the case. Can you explain a bit of why it might be happening, and what is your overall strategy to cut the gross consumption of water in your terminals in Mexico? Thank you.
Hello, Good morning, and also thank you for the call.
A question on your sustainability report.
It isn't that you are doing a really good job.
Overall and the East coast.
Assumption in absolute term.
Relative terms compared.
Compared to 2019 figures, but I just noticed that in terms of water consumption and waste.
This waste that is not the case could you explain a little bit of why it might be happening.
What is your overall strategy to court and the cross consumption of water.
In your terminals in Mexico. Thank.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Absolutely. In the case of water, that's a good question because our next MDP, or I would say the focus or the important focus of our next MDP is water. It's clear that we have not done yet most of the things that we can do there. Of course, what you are seeing in the numbers includes the water that we have to spend to construct the expansion of the buildings.
Thank you.
Absolutely in the kitchen.
A question because I wanted them to be or I would say that the book.
Fourth and 14th Bookers over next MVP.
These water no. It's good that we have not done yet.
Most of the things that we can do that of course, what you are seeing in the numbers in fields.
And one of them that we have to spend to go strong expansion that would be a little small.
Francisco Suarez: Got you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: That is why probably you see some higher numbers in the case of Mérida and some other airports. We will see this improvement once we finish with those works.
That is why probably you see some higher numbers in the case of Mei.
Airports.
And we will see these improving once we've finished with those works.
Francisco Suarez: Great. Thank you. If I may, a follow-up on this, Adolfo. It is interesting because when we discuss about potential retrofits in other type of structures with companies, those are challenging in terms of the economics to do that. Under your industry, it seems that you are in a great position to put that on the MDP as well, to make a retrofit in the terminal, for instance, and with that cut your overall energy and water intensity in those buildings. Do you think that that might be a possibility? If it's actually correct, what I'm saying, that perhaps if this type of CapEx is placed on the MDPs as you are going to do that now in the next one, that is actually the way to make a profit out of those investments that in other industries seems to be more and more challenging?
Great. Thank you and if I may I follow up on this is all for Ann.
It's interesting because when we discuss about potential retrofits in another type of stroke trust with companies those are kind of.
<unk> in terms of the cause of that.
Got it under your industry. It seems that you are in a great position to put that homecare MTBE as well to make a retrofit and thats terminals for instance, with that caught your overall and their key out of water intensive team does real things do you think that.
That might be a possibility.
And if it's factually correct, but I'm, saying that perhaps if and if.
This type of Capex.
Play Sunday MTP.
I'm going to do that now and the next one.
And that is that actually they they have to wait to make a profit out of those investments. That's in other industries seems to be more challenging.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Well, in the case of the energy, you will have to go back to a big day or release that we issued the 15 December 2015.
Well in the case of the energy you will have to go back to Dave.
Yeah, you're referring to.
So that we can ship the.
The 15 of December 2015.
Uh huh.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: In that one, you will see that we were announcing that we signed an agreement with a company called SunPower to purchase energy from solar source. That, at the moment, represented 100% of the energy consumption at the airport. Today, probably this is around 78% of the consumption, because after that, we opened Terminal 4, and all the reductions that we have been able to manage since then. We are waiting these to be in place. The solar farm is waiting for the approval from the energy authorities here in Mexico. The solar farm is ready since Q1 last year. Once they get this approval, our increase in the case of solar energy will be extremely important.
One you will see that we were announcing that we signed an agreement with a company called Sunpower.
Pages.
Energy from.
Solar source.
And that the moment, representing 200% of the energy consumption at the airports.
Today, probably this is around seven 8% of the construction because after that we open terminal four.
And all the reductions that we have been able to manage them.
We are waiting to be in place there.
The solar farm is waiting for the approval from the energy boom is here in Mexico.
The solar farm is ready to.
For the last year.
And once they get these approvals our in Greece in the case of salts solar energy will be extremely important.
Francisco Suarez: Got you. Going back to my initial question, those retrofits to your existing buildings, the older terminals, can be put in the MDPs, and with that, not only cut your overall energy and water intensities, but also earn a profit out of these investments?
Gotcha.
But it got quite a bit.
So no question.
Retrofits to your existing buildings the older terminals.
B.
India, MTP said with that not only caught your overall and their key.
10 cities, but also earn a profit out of these investments.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: I don't know the good definition of your retrofit, but let me say, the most important consumption on energy we have is related to air conditioning.
I don't know.
The definition of your retro, but let me let him.
The most important consumption on an energy when you shop.
It related to air Conditioner.
Francisco Suarez: Yeah.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Of course, when we construct a new building, the new equipment will be more efficient in comparison with the others. That is where we get these benefits of the new equipment, or when we replace those in the old buildings. Those, of course, are in the MDP.
Of course, when we construct engines globally.
Great.
It will be more interesting comparison would be August .
And that's where we get it.
Benefits of the new build or when will we get a dose in deals yields.
And then of course equity MVP.
Francisco Suarez: Yes. Perfect. Thank you, Adolfo.
Yes, yes.
Perfect. Thank you that's helpful.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: You're welcome.
Francisco Suarez: Congrats on the results.
Congrats on the results.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Thanks.

Thank you. Our next question is from Alan Macias with Bank of America. Please proceed with your question.
Alan Macias: Hi, Adolfo, and thank you for the call. My question was answered, but can you just repeat your dividend payments that you mentioned? Thank you.
Hi.
Thank you for the call.
My question was answered but.
Could you just repeat your dividend payments of debt.
Sure.
You mentioned thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Yes. The annual shareholders meeting is going to take place tomorrow. The proposal is MXN 9.93 in an ordinary dividend to be paid on May, and the extraordinary is MXN 10 per share to be paid in November.
Yeah. The animals Juno's shareholders' meeting is it's going to take place tomorrow.
Both are leased 90 93 benches in the Norwegian yard dividend to be paid on me.
And the extraordinary 10 pence per share to be paid in November .
Alan Macias: Thank you.
Thank you.
Okay.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Lucila Gomez with Compass Group. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from Lucia lot Gomez with Compass Group. Please proceed with your question.
Lucila Gomez: Hi. Good morning, Adolfo. Thank you for taking my question. Just a quick follow-up on the Cancun Airport. After all these expansions, what is the annual capacity that the airport has right now in terms of traffic? Where do you think you'll be reaching for this year?
Hi, Good morning. Thank you for taking my question and just a quick follow.
Follow up on the Cancun Airport.
All of this expansion.
Why do you think I'm wrong capacity that the airport costs right now in terms of traffic.
Why do you feel we're right where do you think you'll be reaching.
Reaching pardon here.
Yeah.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Well, hi, Lucila. The capacity of the building, of course, has to do with the level of service. It's very difficult to say what is the full capacity of a building in just a single number, because a restriction can be a security filter, something that you can solve with, let's say, MXN 100,000. If you want just a single number in the case of Cancun Airport, could be today 31 million, 32 million passenger traffic a year. Okay? More or less what we have today. We are very close to the capacity defined in terms of the level of service we want. In other words, that doesn't mean that we cannot have more passengers. Of course, in some time of the day, in some days of the year, probably the level of service you will receive there is not appropriate.
Well currently.
The building of course going to do with the level of service.
It's very difficult to say what is the pooled capacity.
Of our building.
In it you know.
Just a single number because.
A restriction could be a security field, there's something that you can show, let's say 800 basketballs.
If you want Joseph single number in the physical network could be today, 31, 32 million passenger traffic a year okay.
Yeah, more or less what we have today. So we are very close to it.
Yeah.
We have capacity declines in the in terms of the level of certainty we want no. So in other words that doesn't mean that we cannot have more passengers.
But of course in some time of the day.
So these days of the year, probably that level of savings you will perceive that is not appropriate.
Lucila Gomez: Okay. Just as a follow-up, if you wanted to add more passengers, what would be the most it would allow you to reach at the moment?
Okay.
I can follow it.
I wanted to to add more passengers what would make the most of it.
It will allow you to two weeks at the moment.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: In the MDP, the way we do is we draw our passenger traffic line for the next 15 years, and then we convert these into use per hour in each one of the pieces of the airport. The standard is that we can have lack of capacity just 30 hours in a year. That means if the 31st busy hour of the year, demand exceeds our technical capacity, we have to go to the next step. To increase the security filter, to increase the boarding gate, to increase the lectures stand, et cetera. That is how we construct the MDP.
Okay, and the MVP and the way we do is we drove our passenger traffic line from the Ministry of 10 years.
And then we convert these two huge where our in each one of the features of the airports.
And it's done that means that.
We can have a lack of capacity just 30 hours in a year.
So that means even 31st busy hour of the year the 91st dumping of capacity, we have to go to the next day or so.
The pieces of your filter to reasonable engaging breeze directors.
No.
That is how we construct the NDP.
Lucila Gomez: Okay. Thank you, Adolfo.
Okay.
Thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: You're welcome.
You have them.
Operator: Thank you. Our next question is from Fernanda Radia with APG. Please proceed with your question.
Thank you. Our next question is from Fernando radio with a P. G. Please proceed with your question.
Fernanda Radia: Hey, Adolfo. Good morning. Thank you for taking my questions. I have two on my side. The first one, we heard that this year should be the record in terms of sargassum. I was just wondering if you could maybe provide us your thoughts on the potential impact this could have on Cancun's airport. The second, we see that you are net cash as of Q1. I was wondering if you could provide us any thoughts regarding capital allocation besides dividend payment, if you're thinking of further expanding your geographic footprint. If it does, which region would you be focused on? Thank you.
Yeah, no for the mining to take effect into my questions I have two on my side.
First Glenn.
We've heard that DVA shouldn't be their record in terms of time Boston.
Was just wondering if you could maybe you could provide us there.
Our thoughts on the potential impact it could have one Ken corn standpoint.
And then Jack on let's say that you are in that cash two one I was wondering if you could provide it.
Any thoughts regarding capital allocation besides dividend payment at Jefferies.
So are they expanding.
Geographic footprint and if it does at least region, where they'll be show focuses on thank you.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Hi, Fernanda. Thank you for your question. Well, I don't believe that this year is going to be the record year. I believe that 2018 will be the record year so far. It's true that we are having sargassum, and the hotel owners are doing extraordinary work cleaning the beaches every single day. In the case of cash, yes, MXN 15 billion, it's a very good number. As I mentioned, I will have to pay MXN 6 billion of those 15 during this year. It's true that we have a low CapEx level this year, but we have to be prepared for next one.
Thank you for your question Linda.
Linda it's gonna be the record year.
I'll leave that to you.
It will be a record year so far.
But it's true that we are having some castle and hotel owners.
Doing an extra 90 war gaming the beaches every single day.
In the case of cash, yes, 15 billion pencils.
There's a good number but as I mentioned.
And we will have to pay 6 billion of loans, we've been doing this year. It is true that we have a low level.
Never leased a year, but we have to be prepared for Nashville.
Fernanda Radia: Okay. Thank you.
Okay. Thank you.
Yes.

Thank you. Our next question is from more ACO.
So with a M advisors. Please proceed with your question.
Mauricio Buitrago: Hello, Adolfo. I have two quick questions. The first one is, how the close of operations of Viva Air in Colombia impacted your results in the quarter? The second question is just if you can repeat the guidance of CapEx and EBITDA for this year, please.
Hello, I have two quick questions. The first one is.
At the close of operations Viva Air in Colombia.
<unk> impacted your results in the quarter and the second question is just if you can repeat the guidance of Capex in every deck, where this year. Please.
Adolfo Castro Rivas: Hi, Mauricio. In the case of Viva Air, as I mentioned, they stopped operations at the end of February, so no passengers during March, and they represented 17.4% of our traffic in 2022. The impact in the case of Colombia, you already saw that with March passenger traffic figure. It was an important adjustment in the case of the month of March in comparison of how it was in February. In terms of the CapEx, what we are expecting is round number MXN 700 million in the case of Mexico and around MXN 20 something million in the case of Puerto Rico, and probably MXN 10 million in the case of Colombia.
Hi, Mauricio in the kitchen.
As I mentioned, they should stop operations at the end of February .
Passengers during March and they represented 17% of our traffic in 'twenty two.
Took the impact in the case of Colombia, you already.
So that.
March passenger traffic figure.
It was.
And importantly judgment in the case of <unk>.
The month of launch income pause them off cold was.
In February .
In terms of the category.
What we're expecting is wrong.
Round number.
700 million vessels in the case of Mexico alone 20 medium 20 something million in the case of portable heat cool.
Totaling $10 million indication for Colombia.
