1.  
Unless otherwise stated, all financial figures discussed in this announcement are unaudited, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and represent comparisons between the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2012, and the equivalent three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2011.  Financial figures for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2011 have been restated to reflect IFRS.  Results are expressed in nominal pesos. Tables state figures in thousands of pesos, unless otherwise noted. Passenger figures exclude transit and general aviation passengers. Commercial revenues include revenues from non-permanent ground transportation and parking lots.

EBITDA means net income before: provision for taxes, deferred taxes, profit sharing, non-ordinary items, 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 or as an alternative to cash flow as an indicator of liquidity.

Passenger Traffic

For the fourth quarter of 2012, total passenger traffic increased year-over-year by 11.06%. Domestic passenger traffic rose by 12.15% while international passenger traffic increased by 10.08%.

The 12.15% growth in domestic passenger traffic was driven by increases at Cancún, Minatitlán, Veracruz, Villahermosa, Oaxaca, Cozumel and Tapachula. The 10.08% growth in international passenger traffic resulted mainly from an increase of 10.86% in international traffic at the Cancún airport.

Passenger traffic for fiscal year 2012 increased 9.73%, reflecting increases of 15.83% in domestic passenger traffic and 5.22% in international passenger traffic.

Consolidated Results for 4Q12

 
Total revenues for 4Q12 declined year-over-year by 2.23% to Ps.1,336.39  million. This was mainly due to a decrease of 36.78%  in revenues from construction services as a result of lower capital expenditures and other investments in concessioned assets during the period, which more than offset increases of:
 
·  
12.13% in revenues from aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 11.06% rise in passenger traffic;
 
·  
13.29% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, reflecting the 16.53% increase in commercial revenues detailed below; and

ASUR classifies commercial revenues as those derived from the following activities: duty-free stores, car rentals, retail operations, banking and currency exchange services, advertising, teleservices, non-permanent ground transportation, food and beverage, and parking lot fees.

Commercial revenues increased by 16.53% year-over-year during the quarter, principally due to the 11.06% increase in passenger traffic. There were increases in revenues in the following activities:

 
·  
39.51% in advertising;
 
·  
21.37% in food and beverage;
 
·  
12.01% in other revenue.
 
·  
11.78% in ground transportation;
 
·  
11.07% in duty-free stores;
 
·  
10.81% in parking lot fees;
 
·  
9.95% in retail operations;
 
·  
6.96% in banking and currency exchange services; and
 
·  
0.70% in teleservices.
 
These increases more than offset the 2.19% decline in car rental revenues.

Construction revenues and expenses. ASUR is required by IFRIC 12 to include in its income statement an income line reflecting the income from construction or improvements to concessioned assets made during the period. During 4Q12, ASUR recognized Ps.258.83 million in revenues from “Construction Services” because of lower committed improvements to its concessioned assets, a 36.78% year-on-year decline. 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 Expenses have been included in ASUR's income statement as a result of the application of IFRIC 12, the decrease in Construction Revenues in 4Q12 did not result in a proportionate decrease in the EBITDA Margin, which is equal to EBITDA divided by total revenues.

Total operating costs and expenses for 4Q12 declined 12.23% year-over-year. This was primarily due to the 36.78% decline in construction costs, reflecting lower committed improvements made to concessioned assets during the period, which more than offset the following increases:
 
·  
11.30% in costs of services, principally reflecting higher sales volumes, and therefore higher costs of sales at the convenience stores directly operated by ASUR, and higher fees paid to third parties in connection with ASUR’s participation in the Luis Muñoz Marín Airport in San Juan, Puerto Rico (“LMM”) project. The costs of a bond required in connection with an appeal of a decision overturning a tax credit and higher maintenance expenses and costs in connection with studies for the Company’s Master Development Plan (which will be renewed in 2013 for 2014-2018) also contributed to the increase;
 
 
ASUR 4Q12, Page 4 of 21
 
 
 
·  
2.55% in administrative expenses mainly due to higher professional fees paid to third parties and travel expenses in connection with ASUR’s participation in the LMM project;
 
·  
13.78% in the technical assistance fee paid to ITA, reflecting the increase in EBITDA for the quarter (a factor in the calculation of the fee);
 
·  
11.71% in concession fees paid to the Mexican government, mainly due to an increase in regulated revenues (a factor in the calculation of the fee); and
 
·  
5.26% in depreciation and amortization, resulting mainly from capitalized investments.

Operating margin for the quarter increased to 42.60% from 36.05% in 4Q12. This was mainly due to the 2.23% decrease in revenues which was more than offset by the 36.78% decline in expenses during the period.

Comprehensive Financing Gain (Loss) for 4Q12 was a Ps.43.47 million gain, compared to a Ps.22.38 million gain in 4Q11, principally due to higher net interest income  during the period.

Interest income increased by Ps.22.58 million year-on-year reflecting increased income from short-term investments resulting from the increase in net income during the period. Interest expense increased in 4Q12 by Ps.1.33 million.

During 4Q12, ASUR reported a foreign exchange gain of Ps.7.30 million which principally resulted from the 7.04% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar during the period derived of a foreign currency net asset position.

Income Taxes. Following the changes in Mexican tax law that took effect on January 1, 2008, which established a new flat rate business tax (“Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica” or “IETU”) and eliminated the asset tax, the Company evaluates and reviews  its deferred assets and liabilities position as applied by Mexican Tax laws.

Income taxes for 4Q12 declined by Ps.157.54, or 143.26% million year-over-year, principally due to the following factors:

 
·  
A reversal of the IETU provision at some of ASUR’s subsidiaries which resulted in a Ps.4.32 million gain;
 
·  
A Ps.65.69 million increase in the provision for income taxes, as a result of a higher taxable base resulting from the 15.52% increase in operating income.
 
·  
A Ps.75.99 million increase in deferred income taxes resulting from the recognition of deferred income taxes at the Merida and Oaxaca airports as these subsidiaries are expected to cause income tax liabilities in the future;
 
·  
A Ps.290.69 million decrease in deferred IETU for the Merida and Oaxaca airports given that these subsidiaries are expected to pay income tax in the future.
 
·  
A Ps.0.26 million decline in the asset tax for amounts that cannot be credited against other taxes.
 

 
Net income for 4Q12 increased by 56.76% to Ps.665.06 million from Ps.424.25 million in 4Q11. Earnings per common share for the quarter were Ps.2.2169, or earnings per ADS (EPADS) of US$1.7098 (one ADS represents ten series B common shares). This compares with earnings per share of Ps.1.4142, or EPADS of US$1.0907, for the same period last year.

Consolidated Results for Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2012
 
Total revenues for FY12 increased year-over-year by 11.95% to Ps.5,119.9 million, mainly due to the following increases:
 

 
·  
14.04% in revenues from aeronautical services as a result of the 9.73% increase in passenger traffic during the period;
 
·  
18.12% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally as a result of the 19.13% increase in commercial revenues detailed below.

These increases were partially offset by a 7.12% decline in construction services in connection with lower committed investments during the period.

Commercial revenues for FY12 rose by 19.13% year-over-year, principally as a result of revenue increases in the following areas:
 

 
·  
38.97% in advertising;
 
·  
20.70% in retail operations;
 
·  
20.56% in other income;
 
·  
19.58% in duty-free stores;
 
·  
17.84% in food and beverage;
 
·  
15.49% in banking and currency exchange services;
 
·  
12.21% in ground transportation services;
 
·  
9.86% in car rentals;
 
·  
5.09% in parking lot fees; and
 
·  
3.47% in teleservices.
 
Total operating costs and expenses for FY12 rose 4.41%, mainly due to the following increases:
 
·  
8.55% in cost of services, principally reflecting higher energy costs, security and maintenance, and professional fees to third parties in connection with ASUR’s participation in international bidding projects. Higher costs of sales as a result of higher sales volumes at the convenience stores directly operated by ASUR also contributed to the increase;
 
·  
8.08% in administrative expenses, principally due to higher professional fees paid to third parties and travel expenses in connection with international bidding projects;
 
·  
18.41% in technical assistance costs, reflecting the corresponding increase in EBITDA during the period;
 
ASUR 4Q12, Page 8 of 21
 
 
·  
14.80% in concession fees, mainly due to the increase in regulated revenues (a factor in the calculation of the fee); and
 
·  
4.91% in depreciation and amortization.
 
These increases were partially offset by a 7.12% decline in construction costs resulting from lower committed investments during the period.

Operating margin increased to 49.41% in FY12, from 45.76% in FY11.  This was mainly the result of the 11.95% growth in revenues which more than offset the 4.41% increase in operating expenses for the period.

Net income for FY12 increased by 30.43% to Ps.2,075.33 million. Earnings per common share for the year were Ps.6.9178, or earnings per ADS (EPADS) of US$5.3354 (one ADS represents ten series B common shares).  This compares with Ps.5.3038, or EPADS of US$4.0906, for FY11.

REVIEW OF THE IMPACT OF TRANSITIONING TO IFRS

Below is a description of significant changes on IFRS implementation:

a)  
Inflation
The Company determined the inflationary effects relating to the capital stock and legal reserve accounts should be eliminated in accordance with International Accounting Standards “IAS” 21 and 29, which were in effect on the date IFRS was adopted.

Based on IFRS 1, the Company has determined it does not have to eliminate the effects of inflation on concessions. This is due to the decision of the Company to apply the transition rules of IFRIC 12 as part of the initial adoption of IFRS 1, which allow for the exception from retrospective application in cases where the "impracticability" of reconstructing asset balances is too significant. Therefore, the Company has recorded the account balances previously registered under Mexican FRS, which contain the effects of inflation through December 31, 2007, as opening balances for the adoption of IFRIC 12.

b)
Property, plant and equipment
The Company used the value of property, plant and equipment listed on the balance sheet on the date it adopted IFRS as the cost of property, plant and equipment as of the transition date.

c)
Deferred taxes and deferred income tax or IETU tax
The Company has determined that it must recognize both forms of taxes (income tax or flat tax for each one of its subsidiaries) for the determination of deferred taxes based on its income projections.

d)   Employee profit sharing and labor liabilities
On the date IFRS was adopted the Company eliminated the liability relating to deferred profit sharing and severance as an adjustment to its opening balance sheet.

e)
Creation of a reserve for unused vacations
On the date IFRS was adopted, the Company recognized an accrual for the vacation rights not used by year-end, according to IAS 19 “Employee Benefits.

f)   Non ordinary items in the income statement
The line in the income statement named “Non ordinary items” has been reclassified as “Operating expenses” because IFRS does not recognize extraordinary items as a line in the income statement.
