CEO Message

Commenting on the results for the quarter Mr. Martín Eurnekian, CEO of Corporación América Airports, noted: "We delivered a strong start to 2026, with broad-based growth across our airport network and continued progress on our key financial metrics. Total traffic increased 7% year-over-year to 21.8 million passengers, led by a 14% increase in international traffic, with positive international performance across every country in which we operate. Revenues excluding construction services rose 19% year-over-year, supported by solid growth in both aeronautical and commercial revenues and, once again, outpacing passenger traffic growth.

Profitability also advanced meaningfully during the quarter. Adjusted EBITDA excluding IFRIC 12 increased 26% year-over-year to $196 million, while the corresponding margin expanded 2.3 percentage points to 39.6%. These results reflect the continued benefits of our diversified platform, active commercial execution and disciplined cost control.

Argentina was an important driver of performance, with strong growth in international travel helping to offset softer domestic demand, which was impacted by temporary operational disruptions during the quarter. Across the rest of the portfolio, we also continued to see positive trends. Brazil posted a strong recovery, while Italy and Uruguay benefited from healthy international demand, Ecuador continued to grow despite security-related challenges, and Armenia remained resilient, supported by greater connectivity and a more limited-than-expected impact from the conflict in the Middle East.

Our financial position continued to strengthen. Cash and cash equivalents reached $666 million at quarter-end, and net leverage stood at 0.5x, reflecting higher Adjusted EBITDA, strong cash generation and disciplined capital allocation. This strong balance sheet provides flexibility to fund committed investment programs, as well as to continue evaluating growth opportunities.

On the strategic front, we continue to advance our growth agenda with discipline. Following the concession awards received in Iraq and Angola, we are in ongoing discussions with the respective governments to finalize the terms of the concession agreements. We also remain focused on progressing our investment priorities across the existing portfolio, including key infrastructure and commercial initiatives designed to enhance capacity, improve the passenger experience and strengthen our platform over the long term.

Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the strength of traffic trends across our network, with solid demand continuing into the second quarter, particularly in international markets. At the same time, we will continue to closely monitor geopolitical developments in the Middle East and any potential implications for traffic, airlines capacity and fuel supply. We remain focused on maintaining a healthy financial position, investing with discipline and executing our strategy to drive sustainable value creation."

1Q26 EARNINGS CONFERENCE CALL

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 22 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%.
