CEO Message
Commenting on the results for the quarter Mr. Martín Eurnekian, CEO of Corporación América Airports, noted: “We closed the year with a very strong fourth quarter, achieving record traffic for both the quarter and the full year, supported by broad-based growth across our network. Passenger traffic increased 9% year-over-year in the quarter, reaching full-year record levels in Argentina, Armenia, Italy and Uruguay, reflecting resilient demand and continued connectivity expansion. Revenue increased 17% year-over-year excluding construction services, once again outpacing traffic growth and driven by solid performance across both aeronautical and commercial revenues. This translated into meaningful operating leverage. Adjusted EBITDA excluding IFRIC 12 increased nearly 40% year-over-year, with reported margins expanding by more than 7 percentage points. Even excluding one-off impacts in both periods, Adjusted EBITDA margin improved 4.6 percentage points year-over-year, underscoring the structural improvement in our profitability profile.
Argentina delivered an outstanding performance, supported by double-digit international traffic growth and disciplined cost management, while Armenia continued to benefit from expanded connectivity and commercial initiatives. Across the portfolio, revenue per passenger and commercial execution remain central to strengthening the quality and resilience of our business.
We ended the year with one of the strongest balance sheets in our history. Net leverage declined to 0.7x, supported by Adjusted EBITDA growth, disciplined capital allocation and cash generation. Our liquidity position provides flexibility to fund committed investments and take advantage of future growth opportunities, while preserving financial discipline.
Strategically, recent developments further enhance the long-term visibility of our platform. In November, we signed an award agreement with the Government of Iraq to operate Baghdad International Airport, and in December, we were awarded the concession to operate Luanda’s new international airport in Angola, both of which offer attractive long-term growth fundamentals. On January 23, 2026, we secured an important milestone in Armenia, where our subsidiary entered into an amendment agreement with the Government of the Republic of Armenia. This amendment includes extending the concession by 35 years through 2067, committing to a $425 million investment program and establishing a clear investment and tariff framework, which created significant value. Shortly thereafter, on January 27, 2026, we executed an addendum to the Galápagos concession in Ecuador, rebalancing the agreement, restoring economic equilibrium and extending its term by six years. In addition, in January, Sociedad Aeroportuaria Kuntur Wasi S.A. received the payment related to the ICSID final arbitration award for the Chinchero concession in Peru, which had a positive impact of $32.5 million on our EBITDA in 4Q25. This outcome resolves a long-standing process and reinforces our commitment to defending our contractual rights while further strengthening our financial position.
As we enter 2026, our focus remains on disciplined execution and value creation, balancing traffic growth, commercial optimization, prudent capital investment and financial strength across our global network. We are also closely monitoring the evolving geopolitical situation in the Middle East and remain attentive to any potential implications for our operations and international travel.”

Use of Non-IFRS Financial Measures
This announcement includes certain references to Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction service, as well as Net Debt:
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as income for the period before financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by total revenues.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service (“Adjusted EBITDA ex-IFRIC”) is defined as income for the period before construction services revenue and cost, financial income, financial loss, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization.
Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction Service (“Adjusted EBITDA Margin ex-IFRIC12”) excludes the effect of IFRIC 12 with respect to the construction or improvements to assets under the concession and is calculated by dividing Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service revenue and cost, by total revenues less Construction service revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service and Adjusted EBITDA Margin excluding Construction Service are not measures recognized under IFRS and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, consolidated net income for the year as determined in accordance with IFRS or as indicators of our operating performance from continuing operations. Accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information and should note that these measures as calculated by the Company, may differ materially from similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service enhances an investor’s understanding of our performance and are useful for investors to assess our operating performance by excluding certain items that we believe are not representative of our core business. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Service are useful because they allow us to more effectively evaluate our operating performance and compare the results of our operations from period to period without regard to our financing methods, capital structure or income taxes and construction services (when applicable).
Net debt is calculated by deducting “Cash and cash equivalents” from total financial debt.
Figures ex-IAS 29 result from dividing nominal Argentine pesos for the Argentine Segment, by the average foreign exchange rate of the Argentine Peso against the US dollar in the period. Percentage variations ex-IAS 29 figures compare results as presented in the prior year quarter before IAS 29 came into effect, against ex-IAS 29 results for this quarter as described above. For comparison purposes, the impact of adopting IAS 29 in Aeropuertos Argentina 2000, the Company’s largest subsidiary in Argentina, is presented separately in each of the applicable sections of this earnings release, in a column denominated “IAS 29”. The impact from “Hyperinflation Accounting in Argentina” is described in more detail page 24 of this report.
Definitions and Concepts
Commercial Revenues: CAAP derives commercial revenue principally from fees resulting from warehouse usage (which includes cargo storage, stowage and warehouse services and related international cargo services), services and retail stores, duty free shops, car parking facilities, catering, hangar services, food and beverage services, retail stores, including royalties collected from retailers’ revenue, and rent of space, advertising, fuel, airport counters, VIP lounges and fees collected from other miscellaneous sources, such as telecommunications, car rentals and passenger services.
Construction Service revenue and cost: Investments related to improvements and upgrades to be performed in connection with concession agreements are treated under the intangible asset model established by IFRIC 12. As a result, all expenditures associated with investments required by the concession agreements are treated as revenue generating activities given that they ultimately provide future benefits, and subsequent improvements and upgrades made to the concession are recognized as intangible assets based on the principles of IFRIC 12. The revenue and expense are recognized as profit or loss when the expenditures are performed. The cost for such additions and improvements to concession assets is based on actual costs incurred by CAAP in the execution of the additions or improvements, considering the investment requirements in the concession agreements. Through bidding processes, the Company contracts third parties to carry out such construction or improvement services. The amount of revenues for these services is equal to the amount of costs incurred plus a reasonable margin, which is estimated at an average of 3.0% to 5.0%.
