Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico Announces Results for the First Quarter of 2026

GUADALAJARA, Mexico, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacífico, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE:PAC, BMV:GAP) ("the Company" or "GAP") reports its consolidated results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026 (1Q26). Figures are unaudited and prepared following International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"). The results reported herein do not reflect the pending business combination approved at the Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting held on December 11, 2025, which contemplates the integration of the Cross Border Xpress ("CBX") and the internalization of the technical assistance services provided by AMP. Definitive transaction agreements have not yet been executed, and consummation remains subject to customary closing conditions.

Summary of Results 1Q26 vs. 1Q25

The sum of aeronautical and non-aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps. 380.9 million, or 4.5%. Total revenues increased by Ps. 314.4 million, or 2.8%.

Cost of services increased by Ps. 94.5 million, or 6.5%.

Income from operations increased by Ps. 359.7 million, or 7.7%.

EBITDA increased by Ps. 360.0 million, or 6.4%, an increase from Ps. 5,628.8 million in 1Q25 to Ps. 5,988.8 million in 1Q26. EBITDA margin (excluding the effects of IFRIC-12) went from 67.1% in 1Q25 to 68.3% in 1Q26.

Comprehensive income increased by Ps. 551.4 million, or 19.6%, from an income of Ps. 2,814.4 million in 1Q25 to an income of Ps. 3,365.8 million in 1Q26.

Company's Financial Position:

During 1Q26, total aeronautical revenues increased compared to 1Q25, primarily driven by the airports in Mexico. This growth was partially offset by lower passenger traffic in Jamaica, where the impact of Hurricane Melissa in 4Q25 continued to weigh on the recovery of hotel capacity along the tourist corridor between Negril and Ocho Ríos; as a result, passenger traffic has not yet fully recovered.

In Mexico, security-related events in the state of Jalisco during February 2026 led to temporary disruptions in mobility and affected travel demand to certain destinations. In this context, Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta airports presented passenger traffic decreases in March 2026 compared to March 2025.

In 1Q26, GAP issued bond certificates for a total amount of Ps.10,718.0 million under the ticker symbols "GAP 26" and "GAP 26-2," for Ps.2,767.0 million and Ps.7,951.0 million, respectively. Proceeds will be used to acquire a 25% stake in CBX, as well as to finance capital expenditures in line with the 2025–2029 Master Development Program.

Additionally, the Company refinanced its existing loans with Scotiabank and BBVA for USD$95.5 million each through new financing with The Bank of Nova Scotia and BBVA, respectively. The Company also repaid bond certificates for a total amount of Ps.1,120.0 million (ticker symbol "GAP 23L") using proceeds from a new bank loan with Scotiabank for the same amount.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company reported a cash and cash equivalents position of Ps.23,185.1 million.

Passenger Traffic

During 1Q26, the 14 airports operated by GAP recorded a decrease of 902.1 thousand total passengers, representing a 5.5% decrease compared to 1Q25.

- Net income and comprehensive income per share for 1Q26 and 1Q25 were calculated based on 505,277,464 shares outstanding as of March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025, respectively. Figures in U.S. dollar were converted from pesos using an exchange rate of Ps. 18.0327 per U.S. dollar, as published by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board (noon buying rate) on March 31, 2026.

- For consolidating the Jamaican airports, an average exchange rate of Ps. 17.5578 per U.S. dollar was used, corresponding to the three-month period ended March 31, 2026.

Revenues (1Q26 vs. 1Q25)

•   Aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps. 235.3 million, or 3.9%.•   Non-aeronautical services revenues increased by Ps. 145.6 million, or 6.1%.•   Revenues from improvements to concession assets decreased by Ps. 66.5 million, or 2.5%.•   Total revenues increased by Ps. 314.4 million, or 2.8%.

The change in aeronautical services revenues was primarily due to the following factors:

Revenues at the Mexican airports increased by Ps. 472.9 million, or 9.3%, compared to 1Q25. This increase was mainly driven the phased implementation in 2025 of the new airport maximum tariffs approved for the 2025–2029 regulatory period.

Revenues at the Jamaican airports decreased by Ps. 237.6 million, or 26.2%, compared to 1Q25, mainly due to a 24.6% decrease in passenger traffic during the quarter, resulting from the impact of the Hurricane Melissa, as previously described. Additionally, the 14.0% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar negatively affected revenue translation. In U.S. dollar terms, revenues decreased by US$6.3 million, or 16.4%.

The change in non-aeronautical services revenues was primarily driven by the following factors:

Revenues at Mexican airports increased by Ps. 222.6 million, or 10.7%, compared to 1Q25. Revenues from businesses operated directly by us increased by Ps. 199.8 million, or 19.9%. Revenues from businesses operated by third parties increased Ps. 22.2 million, or 2.2%. The fastest-growing business lines were food and beverage and car rental, which together increased by Ps. 33.9 million, or 7.0%. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in duty-free revenues, which declined Ps. 10.5 million, or 8.7%, due to the 14.0% appreciation of the Mexican peso.

Revenues at the Jamaican airports decreased by Ps. 76.9 million, or 24.7%, compared to 1Q25, primarily due to the decline in passenger traffic and the peso appreciation in the 1Q26. In U.S. dollar terms, revenues decreased by US$1.8 million, or 14.2%.
