(iii) | Variable lease payments |
Some security equipment leases contain variable payment terms that are linked to passenger traffic. Variable lease payments that depend on passengers are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which the condition that triggers those payments occurs. A 10% increase in passenger traffic across airports in the Group with such variable lease contracts would increase total lease payments by approximately USD 27.9 as of December 31, 2025 (USD 76.2 and USD 185.5 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively). (iv) | The Group as a lessor |
As indicated in Note 2.Q, leases and sub-concession of spaces are classified as operating leases. These revenues mainly refer to sub-concessions of commercial spaces (duty free shops, food and beverage services, retail stores) and advertising spaces, among others. Lease payments for some contracts include a minimum agreed upon amount and other variable lease payments by applying a percentage on lessors’ revenues, both of which are set forth in the lease agreements. Where considered necessary to reduce credit risk, the Group may obtain guarantees for the term of the lease. Commercial revenues corresponding to variable income from lease or sub-concession of spaces that do not depend on an index or rate, for example determined on the basis of lessee’s sales or passenger traffic, correspond, as December 31, 2025, to 49% of total revenues of leases and sub-concession of spaces (46% and 42% as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively). 14 Leases (Cont.)
