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.

Consolidated Results for the First Quarter of 2026 (in thousands of pesos): 

- 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:

1. 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.
   
2. 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:

1. 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.
   
2. 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%.
   

Figures expressed in thousands of Mexican pesos.

‐        Revenues from improvements to concession assets¹

Revenues from improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) decreased by Ps. 66.5 million, or 2.5%, compared to 1Q25. The change was composed of:

1. Improvements to concession assets at the Company’s Mexican airports, decreased by Ps. 171.8 million, or 6.6%, in line with the investments committed under the Master Development Program for the 2025–2029 period.
   
2. Improvements to concession assets at the Company’s Jamaican airports, which increased by Ps. 105.3 million, or 154.9%.
   
   

¹ Revenues from improvements to concession assets are recognized in accordance with International Financial Reporting Interpretation Committee 12 “Service Concession Arrangements” (IFRIC 12). However, this recognition does not have a cash impact or impact on the Company’s operating results. Amounts included as a result of the recognition of IFRIC 12 are related to construction of infrastructure in each quarter to which the Company has committed. 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 decreased by Ps. 45.2 million, or 0.7%, compared to 1Q25, mainly due to a decrease of Ps. 101.8 million, or 9.7%, in concession fees, and the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) of Ps. 66.5 million, or 2.5%. This effect was partially offset by an increase in the cost of services of Ps. 94.5 million, or 6.5%, and higher technical assistance fees of Ps. 15.6 million, or 5.5%. Excluding the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12), operating costs increased by Ps. 21.3 million, or 0.6%, compared to 1Q25.

This increase in total operating costs was primarily due to the following factors:

   Mexican airports:

• Operating costs increased by Ps. 50.3 million, or 0.9%, compared to 1Q25, mainly due to higher technical assistance and concession fees, which together increased by Ps. 96.5 million, or 11.4%; a Ps. 116.8 million, or 9.6%, increase in the cost of services; a Ps. 14.1 million, or 1.8%, increase in depreciation and amortization. This effect was partially offset by a Ps. 171.8 million, or 6.6%, decrease in the cost of improvements to the concession assets (IFRIC-12). Excluding the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12), operating costs increased by Ps. 240.1 million, or 8.5%.
  

The change in the cost of services at our Mexican airports during 1Q26 was mainly due to:

• Employee costs increased by Ps. 74.6 million, or 13.6%, mainly due to an increase in personnel, salary adjustments, and amendments to the Federal Labor Law.
• Safety, security, and insurance increased by Ps. 28.8 million, or 19.3%, mainly due to an increase in security personnel headcount and significant increases in the minimum wage.
• Maintenance increased by Ps. 17.6 million, or 8.7%, compared to 1Q25, mainly due to the opening of new operational areas, and airfield maintenance.
  

Jamaican Airports:

• Operating expenses decreased by Ps. 95.5 million, or 10.2%, compared to 1Q25, mainly due to a reduction in concession fees of Ps. 155.0 million, or 33.7%; cost of services of Ps. 32.0 million, or 12.7%; and depreciation and amortization of Ps. 13.7 million, or 8.9%, driven by the decline in passenger traffic and the 14.0% appreciation of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar. This effect was partially offset by an increase in the cost of improvements to concession assets (IFRIC-12) of Ps. 105.3 million, or 154.9%.
  

Operating income margin increased from 42.5% in 1Q25 to 44.5% in 1Q26. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, the operating income margin increased from 56.0% in 1Q25 to 57.6% in 1Q26. Income from operations increased by Ps. 359.7 million, or 7.7%, compared to 1Q25.

EBITDA margin went from 50.9% in 1Q25 to 52.7% in 1Q26. Excluding the effects of IFRIC-12, EBITDA margin went from 67.1% in 1Q25 to 68.3% in 1Q26. The nominal value of EBITDA increased by Ps. 360.0 million, or 6.4%, compared to 1Q25.

Financial results decreased expenses by Ps. 206.2 million, or 22.2%, going from a net expense of Ps. 929.5 million in 1Q25 to a net expense of Ps. 723.3 million in 1Q26. This change was mainly the result of:

• Foreign exchange rate fluctuations, which changed from a loss of Ps. 123.9 million in 1Q25 to a gain of Ps. 173.4 million in 1Q26, resulting in a foreign exchange gain of Ps. 297.3 million due to the appreciation of the Mexican peso. Additionally, the foreign currency translation effect recorded a gain compared to the foreign exchange loss in 1Q25, resulting in a net gain of Ps. 110.2 million.
  
• Interest expense decreased by Ps. 66.0 million, or 5.7%, compared to 1Q25, mainly due to a decrease in reference rates.
  
• Interest income decreased by Ps. 157.1 million, or 47.2%, compared to 1Q25, mainly due to a decrease in the cash and cash equivalents average balance and decrease in the reference rates.
  

In 1Q26, net and comprehensive income increased by Ps. 551.4 million, or 19.6%, compared to 1Q25, mainly driven by income before taxes, which increased by Ps. 565.9 million or 15.0%.

Net income increased by Ps. 453.9 million, or 15.9%, compared to 1Q25. Income tax for the period increased by Ps. 112.0 million, or 12.3%, comprised of an increase in current income tax of Ps. 95.2 million and a decrease in the deferred tax benefit of Ps. 16.8 million.
