GUADALAJARA, Mexico, July 14, 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2026 (2Q26). The results presented in this report include the effects of the business combination effective May 1, 2026. The figures are unaudited and have been prepared following International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”).
Summary of Results 2Q26 vs. 2Q25
Business Combination:
Effective May 1, 2026, the Company began recognizing the effects of the business combination involving the Cross Border Xpress (“CBX”) operations and the internalization of technical assistance and technology transfer services approved by the Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting held on December 11, 2025, following the execution of the merger agreement on April 30, 2026. As a result of the merger, GAP issued 89,740,731 new net shares and currently has 595,018,195 shares outstanding, consisting of 519,226,576 Series B shares and 75,791,619 Series BB shares. In addition, the equity purchase agreement for the acquisition of the remaining 25% equity interest in CBX was completed, resulting in GAP consolidating 100% ownership of this business. Following the effectiveness of the merger, GAP assumed control of the merged entities to ensure the continuity of service provision, as well as the operation and management of CBX.
The business combination resulted in an increase in cash and cash equivalents of Ps. 5,427.1 million, accounts receivable of Ps. 86.7 million, intangible assets of Ps. 6,899.8 million, goodwill of Ps. 30,803.3 million, and machinery, equipment and improvements to leased buildings of Ps. 2,325.1 million, and the acquisition of OTV land for US$50.0 million (equivalent to Ps. 935.0 million). It also resulted in the recognition of liabilities, primarily comprising bank loans of Ps. 1,305.4 million, unrealized revenue of Ps. 337.7 million, accounts payable of Ps. 234.4 million, and deferred income tax of Ps. 216.9 million.
Based on the Company’s assessment, the merger qualifies as a business combination. Accordingly, the excess of the consideration transferred over the book value of the net assets acquired was recognized as non-current assets in the form of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets.
The Company is currently in the process of determining the fair values arising from the business combination. Accordingly, the amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements included in this report are preliminary and remain subject to change.

During 2Q26, the 14 airports operated by GAP recorded a decrease of 891.6 thousand total passengers, representing a 5.6% decrease compared to 2Q25.

‐ Revenues from improvements to concession assets 1
Revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) increased by Ps. 8.7 million, or 0.3%, compared to 2Q25. The change was composed of:
1 Revenues from improvements to concession assets are recognized in accordance with International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” (IFRIC 12).

This is in accordance with the Company’s Master Development Programs in Mexico and Capital Development Programs in Jamaica. All margins and ratios calculated using “Total Revenues” include revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC 12), and, consequently, such margins and ratios may not be comparable to other ratios and margins, such as EBITDA margin, operating margin or other similar ratios that are calculated based on those results of the Company that do have a cash impact.
Total operating costs remained flat compared to 2Q25, mainly due to the decrease in technical assistance fees of Ps. 486.4 million, or 219.4%, and concession fees of Ps. 19.7 million, or 2.1%. These decreases were offset by higher cost of services of Ps. 195.1 million, CBX operating expenses of Ps. 177.4 million, and non-recurring merger-related expenses of Ps. 118.4 million. Excluding the reversal of the technical assistance provision, the consolidation of CBX, and the non-recurring merger-related expenses, operating expenses increased by Ps. 190.7 million, or 3.0%, compared to 2Q25.
