FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This annual report on Form 20-F contains forward-looking statements. We may from time to time make forward-looking statements in our reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, on Forms 20-F and 6-K, in our annual reports to shareholders, in offering circulars and prospectuses, in press releases and other written materials and in oral statements made by our officers, directors or employees to financial analysts, institutional investors, representatives of the media and others. Examples of such forward-looking statements include:

Words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “forecast,” “guideline,” “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying such statements.

Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties. We caution you that a number of important factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the projections, plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in forward-looking statements. These factors, some of which are discussed below under “Risk Factors,” include material changes in the performance or terms of our concessions, developments in legal proceedings, economic and political conditions and government policies in Mexico, Jamaica or elsewhere, inflation rates, exchange rates, regulatory developments, customer demand and competition. We caution you that the foregoing list of factors is not exclusive and that eventualities related to other risks and uncertainties may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we do not undertake any obligation to update them in light of new information or future developments.

SELECTED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA

The following tables present selected financial and other data for each of the periods indicated. This data should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, our audited consolidated financial statements referred to in Item 18 hereof and included elsewhere in this document, including the notes thereto. Our audited consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, or IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, or IASB.

References in this annual report on Form 20-F to “U.S. dollars” or “U.S.$” are to the lawful currency of the United States of America. References in this annual report on Form 20-F to “pesos,” “Mexican pesos” or “Ps.” are to the lawful currency of Mexico. References in this annual report on Form 20-F to “Jamaican dollars” or “J$” are to the lawful currency of Jamaica. We publish our audited consolidated financial statements in Mexican pesos.

This annual report on Form 20-F contains translations of certain peso amounts into U.S. dollars at specified rates solely for the convenience of the reader. These translations should not be construed as representations that the peso amounts actually represent such U.S. dollar amounts or could be converted into U.S. dollars at the rate indicated. Unless otherwise indicated, U.S. dollar amounts have been translated from Mexican pesos at an exchange rate of Ps.19.6350 to U.S.$1.00, the noon buying rate for pesos on December 31, 2018, as published by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board. On April 12, 2019, the exchange rate for pesos as published by the U.S. Federal Reserve Board was Ps.18.7555 to U.S.$1.00.

This annual report on Form 20-F contains references to “workload units,” which are units measuring an airport’s passenger traffic volume and cargo volume. A workload unit currently is equivalent to one terminal passenger or 100 kilograms (220 pounds) of cargo. When we refer to “terminal passengers,” we mean the sum of all arriving and departing passengers on commercial and general aviation flights, other than transit passengers. “Transit passengers” are those who are generally not required to change aircraft while on a multiple-stop itinerary and who generally do not disembark from their aircraft to enter the terminal building. When we refer to “total passengers,” we mean the sum of terminal passengers and transit passengers. When we refer to “commercial aviation passengers,” we mean the sum of terminal and transit passengers, excluding general aviation passengers, such as those on private, non-commercial aircraft. This annual report on Form 20-F contains references to “air traffic movements,” which represent the sum of all aircraft arrivals and departures of any kind at an airport.

In reviewing this annual report, you should take into account the fact that certain margin and ratio calculations that utilize “total revenues” or “total operating costs” will reflect the effects of International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 12 Service Concession Arrangements (“IFRIC 12”), which provides the accounting treatment to be followed for service concession contracts for services considered to be public in nature. We recognize revenues and the associated costs of improvements to concession assets that we are obligated to perform at the airports as established by our Master Development Programs for our Mexican airports and Capital Development Program for the Montego Bay airport. The amount of revenues for these services are equal to the amount of costs incurred, as we do not obtain any profit margin for these construction services. The amounts paid are set at market value. As a result, revenues from improvements to concession assets do not have a cash impact on our results and do not represent a cash inflow. Furthermore, they are not directly related to our passenger traffic, which is the main driver of our revenues.

Consequently, changes in total revenues, total operating costs, operating margin, total revenues per terminal passenger and other ratios included in this annual report, as well as other ratios potentially useful to investors, may not be comparable between periods. In such instances we have included a parenthetical notation with comparable amounts or measures. Nominal results for amounts used in calculating certain margins, such as income from operations, are not affected by the adoption of IFRIC 12 and are therefore comparable. See “Item 5, Operating and Financial Review and Prospects – Critical Accounting Policies.”

As a result of our acquisition of Desarrollo de Concesiones Aeroportuarias, S.L. (“DCA”) in April 2015, our selected consolidated financial and operating data for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 includes the consolidation of DCA’s financial and operating data from April 1, 2015. Therefore, financial and operating data for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 may not be directly comparable with financial and operating data for prior or subsequent fiscal years. DCA has a 74.5% stake in MBJ Airports Limited (“MBJA”), the entity that holds the concession to operate Montego Bay International Airport in Montego Bay, Jamaica. MBJA uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency, and its financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS. As a result, consolidation of MBJA’s financial statements with GAP’s financial statements do not require any substantial accounting changes.

On October 10, 2018, we signed a concession agreement with the Government of Jamaica for the operation, management and administration of the Norman Manley International Airport (“NMIA”) in Kingston, Jamaica. Subject to certain conditions precedent, we will take control of the operation and management of the Kingston International Airport during the last quarter of  2019. Consequently, our selected consolidated financial and operating data included in this annual report do not include the results of the operations of this airport. In September 2018, we incorporated a new Jamaican wholly owned subsidiary, PAC Kingston Airport Limited (“PACKAL”), which holds the concession for the operation of NMIA.
