1 General information and significant events of the period
General information
Corporación América Airports S.A. (the “Company” or “CAAP”) is a holding company primarily engaged through its operating subsidiaries in the acquisition, development and operation of airport concessions. The Company and its operating subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Group”.
The Company was formed as a private limited liability company under the laws of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg on December 14, 2012. The Company is ultimately controlled by Southern Cone Foundation (“SCF”), a foundation, organized under the laws of the Principality of Liechtenstein. The address of its registered office is in Vaduz.
The Group currently has operations in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Italy, Ecuador and Peru.
A list of the principal Group’s subsidiaries is included in Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2019.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been approved for issuance by the Company on November 18, 2020.
Significant events of the period
COVID-19 pandemic
In March 2020, the World Health Organization classified the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. The nature of COVID-19 led to worldwide shutdowns and halting of commercial and interpersonal activity and several governments around the world, including Latin American governments, rapidly implemented drastic measures to contain the spread, including but not limited the closing of borders and prohibition of travel to and from certain parts of the world for a time period. Specifically, the governments and transportation authorities in the majority of the CAAP’s countries of operations have issued flight restrictions.
The recent COVID-19 virus outbreak has generated a disruption in the global economy, and in particular, the aviation industry resulting in drastic reductions in passenger traffic. The current health crisis is having and will likely continue to have, a negative impact on passenger traffic levels and air traffic operations.
Depending on how the situation evolves, governments may impose tougher measures including extending travel bans for longer periods or to reverse flight restrictions partially lifted. In addition, concerns about the Coronavirus have negatively impacted travel demand (and therefore the Company’s business) generally.
In this context, CAAP formed a crisis committee composed of the Company’s CEO and operating CEOs of each subsidiary to assess its operations, including reductions in operating costs while maintaining quality and safety standards. The Company is also continuously in conversations with the relevant regulatory agencies and aviation and transportation authorities in each of its countries of operations to review mitigation measures, as it navigates this unprecedented environment.
The Company has developed a four-pronged strategy and implemented a number of actions aiming to mitigate the negative impact of the COVID-19 virus, as follows:
| § | Employees and passengers: The Company has further enhanced safety and hygiene protocols across its airports to protect the well-being of passengers and operating personnel. For essential staff working on premises, health gear was provided and additional sanitizing policies established. The Company has also established remote working when and where possible. |
| § | Cost controls and cash preservation measures: CAAP has introduced reductions in operating costs by: |
| - | Reducing personnel expenses including salary reductions, suspension of salary increases and freezing new hiring, mandatory use of pending vacations and/or advancing vacations to employees when possible, placing operating employees on furlough in certain geographies and personnel layoffs due to downsizing of operations. | |
| - | Reducing maintenance and other operating expenses while maintaining the quality and safety standards, required to support the minimum level of operations. |

The Company has also aggressively managed working capital by negotiating with its suppliers the extension of payment terms and reducing its capex program.
| § | Negotiations with regulatory bodies and government support: The Company is in discussions with regulatory agencies to renegotiate concession fees payments to align to the current environment. |
| § | Re-equilibrium of the concession agreements: Under the concession contracts framework, the amounts and mechanisms for compensation are being negotiated with authorities and may include a reduction in the concession fee amount and/or mandatory capex, increasing tariffs, extending the tenor of the concession or a combination thereof. The Company is within these processes that require going through administrative regulatory channels. Please refer to Note 15.b. |
| § | Financial position and liquidity: As cash preservation is a critical focus, the Company took the following measures: |
| - | Cancelling all non-mandatory capital investments and deferring non-priority projects. | |
| - | Implementing a set of cost control measures to reduce operating expenses and negotiate payment terms with the suppliers to limit additional cash outflows. | |
| - | Obtaining a deferral of principal and interest payments of debt and obtaining additional funding. Please refer to Note 12. | |
| - | Suspending dividends to third parties in Italy and Ecuador concessions. |
The Company controls credit risk through its constant monitoring of accounts receivable, anticipating mitigation initiatives to protect said receivables. Provision for bad debts currently deems to be adequate in connection with the amounts of the existing receivables and considering that some airlines have filed Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code for reorganization of assets and debts. The Company has reflected additional expected credit losses, if applicable, as of September 30, 2020, and is continuously monitoring the situation.
Governments aid
In Argentina, through Decrees No. 332/2020, 347/2020 and 376/2020 and the applicable administrative resolutions, the Poder Ejecutivo Nacional has instituted, through the Emergency Assistance Program for Work and Production, a series of benefits for those companies that have been affected by the health emergency. Among the assistance measures provided for by the decrees, the Argentine subsidiaries benefited from the postponement of the employer's contributions and a reduction in social security contributions. In addition, the Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (“AFIP”) has approved the granting of the Salary Compensation Allowance from April to September 2020, extended through Decree No. 823/2020 until December 31, 2020. This allowance consists of a sum equivalent to 50% of the net salary, up to the maximum amount of two minimum vital salaries. As of September 30, 2020, this benefit was charged to the result of the period under Salaries and social security contributions in Note 5 and 6 of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements.
On March 18, 2020, the Brazilian Government issued an interim order (Medida Provisória No. 925), converted into Law No. 14.034/20 on August 5, 2020, to help companies and postponed the due date of concession fees payments which were payable in May and July 2020, to December 2020. Likewise, the Brazilian Economy Minister has issued two Ordinances that allows companies to defer tax payments: Ordinance No. 139/2020 defers payment of taxes from March and April 2020 to August and October 2020, respectively, and Ordinance No. 245/2020 defers payment of taxes from May to November 2020.
On April 23, 2020, the Italian Ente Nazionale per l'Aviazione Civile (“ENAC”), in agreement with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, ordered the suspension of the payment of airports concession fees, due in July. For 2020, the payment will be commensurate with the traffic actually recorded during the year and must be paid by January 31, 2021.
On June 16, 2020, the Armenian Government issued an amendment to the Tax Code, adopted by the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. In order to mitigate the effects of the pandemic, the Government exempts companies from the liability of the tax advance payment of the second quarter and at the same time, makes tax prepayments more flexible for the rest of the current year.

Significant events of the period (Cont.)
Evolution of flights and operations
Governments and transportation authorities in many of CAAP’s countries of operations have issued flight restrictions and continue to implement measures to contain COVID-19 spread.
On April 25, 2020, the Argentine National Administration of Civil Aviation (“ANAC”), issued Resolution No. 144/2020, where it established that the airlines that operate passenger air transport services from, to or within the Argentine territory, may reschedule their regular operations, request authorizations for non-regular operations and commercialize air tickets with a start date of operations from September 1, 2020. Nevertheless, during September this resolution remains in place and the Ministry of Transportation allowed regular international and domestic flights to be operated as from October 15, 2020 pursuant to Resolution 221/2020 subject to certain restrictions and protocols. On October 16, 2020, ANAC published Resolution No. 304/2020, making official the reopening of domestic scheduled flights and determining the requirements to be met by airlines to obtain authorization for domestic flights.
Regarding operations in other countries a gradual restart of flights has taken place; in June flights have begun mainly in Italy, Brazil and Ecuador while in July flights have started to be operated to/from Uruguay. In many locations certain government restrictions still apply, like mandatory COVID-19 tests for arriving passengers and/or quarantines on arrival. Nevertheless, flight frequencies are reduced across all of the Group’s airports.
As of mid-September, a new increase in cases of COVID-19 across Europe has led to lockdowns and curfews in some countries. This situation is leading airlines to revise their winter schedule by reducing frequencies and international destinations affecting both Pisa and Florence airports.
As a result of the above and considering that the COVID-19 pandemic is complex and its evolution is uncertain, the full extent to which the Coronavirus will impact the Company’s business, results of operations, financial position and liquidity is unknown. The Company continues to assess the evolution of the COVID-19 virus outbreak in order to identify the unforeseen potential effects that could alter its business and performance.
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
On September 27, 2020 clashes began along the Nagorno-Karabakh Line of Contact. Although the military development takes place mainly in the Nagorno-Karabakh region, there is a risk that the current situation may have a negative impact on the Armenian Airport activities. As a result of the above and considering that circumstances could change rapidly it is difficult to assess the financial effect on the Company´s business. See update in Note 19.
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2020 reflect the impact of these events and current market conditions, depending on the duration of the COVID-19 crisis and continued negative impact on economic activity, the Company may experience further negative results and liquidity constraints.

2 Basis of presentation and accounting policies
2.1 Basis of presentation
These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, “Interim Financial Reporting”. The accounting policies used in the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements are consistent with those used in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. These policies have been consistently applied to all the years presented, unless otherwise stated. These Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019, which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) of the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the Interpretations of the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC).
Elimination of all material intercompany transactions and balances between the Company and the other companies and their respective subsidiaries have been made.
The preparation of Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements in conformity with IFRS requires management to make certain accounting estimates and assumptions that might affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting dates, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting years. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In the preparation of these Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements, the significant areas of judgment by management in the application of the Group’s accounting policies and the main areas of assumptions and estimates are consistent with those applied in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019. Nevertheless, judgments, assumptions and estimations in the light of current circumstances as described in Note 1, have been revised.
Assets and liabilities are classified as current if settlement is expected within twelve months.
There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period and there were no changes in risk management policies since the end of the year ended December 31, 2019, except of changes in liquidity and credit risks following the COVID-19 outbreak (see Note 1) and market risk related to foreign exchange risk in Argentina as explained below.
During September 2020 the Argentine monetary authority imposed further exchange rate restrictions, which also affect the value of foreign currency in alternative markets for certain restricted exchange rate transactions in the official market. These measures to restrict access to the foreign exchange market in order to contain the demand for U.S. dollars include the requirement to obtain prior authorization from the Central Bank of Argentina for certain transactions in the Mercado Único y Libre de Cambios (“MULC”).
Application of IAS 29 in financial reporting of Argentine subsidiaries and associates
IAS 29 “Financial Reporting in Hyperinflationary Economies” requires that the financial statements of entities whose functional currency is that of a hyperinflationary economy to adjust for the effects of changes in a suitable general price index and to express in terms of the current unit of measurement at the closing date of the reporting period, regardless of whether they are based on the historical cost method or the current cost method. Accordingly, the inflation produced from the date of acquisition or from the revaluation date, as applicable, must be computed in the non-monetary items.
In order to conclude on whether an economy is categorized as hyperinflationary in the terms of IAS 29, the standard details a series of factors to be considered, including the existence of a cumulative inflation rate in three years that approximates or exceeds 100%. Considering that the inflation in Argentina has exceed the 100% three-year cumulative inflation rate in July 2018, and that the rest of the indicators do not contradict the conclusion that Argentina should be considered a hyperinflationary economy for accounting purposes, the Group understands that there is sufficient evidence to conclude that Argentina is a hyperinflationary economy under the terms of IAS 29 as from July 1, 2018, and, accordingly, it has applied IAS 29 as from that date in the financial reporting of its subsidiaries and associates with the Argentine peso as functional currency.
The estimated price index as of September 30, 2020 was 347.16 (283.44 as of December 31, 2019) and the conversion factor derived from the indexes for the period ended September 30, 2020, was 1.22.

2.1 Basis of presentation (Cont.)
Application of IAS 29 in financial reporting of Argentine subsidiaries and associates (Cont.)
Comparative amounts are the figures presented as current year amounts in the relevant prior year Consolidated Financial Statements, according to IAS 21, considering that were translated into the currency of a non- hyperinflationary economy.
The ongoing application of the re-translation of comparative amounts to closing exchanges rates under IAS 21 and the inflation adjustments required by IAS 29 will lead to a difference because the rate at which the hyper-inflationary currency depreciates against a stable currency is rarely equal to the rate of inflation. The inflation adjustment and the translation of comparative amounts in the current period is included in Other comprehensive income / (loss) for the period line.
This re-translation changes each quarter Condensed Consolidated Interim Statement of Income previously reported in U.S. dollars and as a result, the impact of quarterly inflation adjustments and quarterly translation adjustments vary the results of operation quarter to quarter until year end.
2.2 Changes in accounting policies
New and amended standards adopted by the group
The group has applied the following standards and amendments for the first time for their quarterly reporting period commencing January 1, 2020:
- Definition of Material – amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8
- Definition of a Business – amendments to IFRS 3
- Revised Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting
- Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 1 Amendments to IFRS 7, IFRS 9 and IAS 39
The group also elected to adopt the following amendment early, if applicable:
- Covid-19-related Rent Concessions – amendments to IFRS 16
The amendments listed above did not have any impact on the amounts recognized in prior periods and are not expected to significantly affect the current or future periods.
New and amended standards not yet adopted by the group
Certain new accounting standards and interpretations have been published that are not mandatory for September 30, 2020 reporting periods and have not been early adopted by the Group.
- In January 2020, the IASB published an amendment to IAS 1 "Presentation of financial statements" which provides clarification on the classification of liabilities between current and non-current. The amendment is applicable from January 1, 2022.
- In May 2020, the IASB published some amendments with reference to IFRS 3, IAS 16 and IAS 37. In addition, some amendments to IFRS 1, IFRS 9, IAS 41 and the illustrative examples attached to IFRS 16 were published. These amendments will be applicable from January 1, 2022.
- In August 2020, the IASB issued Phase 2 amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 that address issues that arise during the reform of an interest rate benchmark, including the replacement of one benchmark with an alternative one. The amendments will be applicable from January 1, 2021, with early application permitted.
There are no other standards that are not yet effective and that would be expected to have a material impact on the entity in the current or future reporting periods and on foreseeable future transactions.

3 Segment information
Operating segments are components of an enterprise where separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s chief operating decision maker is its Board of Directors. The Group’s operating segments are managed separately because each operating segment represents a strategic business unit providing airport and non-airport services (“others”) to clients in different countries. The Group’s reportable operating segments are the seven countries in which the Group currently operates, which are Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Armenia, Ecuador, Italy and Peru.
Within each reportable segment, the Group develops and operates airport concessions (“Airports”) and provides other services not directly related to airport concessions (“Others”).
Assets, liabilities and results of sub-holding and/or holding companies are not allocated and are reported within the “Unallocated” column. This column also includes head office and group services.
The elimination of any intersegment revenues and other significant intercompany operations are included in the “Intersegment Adjustments” column.
The information regarding the Company’s reportable operating segments is consistent with the information presented in Notes 2.W and 4 included in the audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 and should be read in conjunction with them.
The performance of each reportable segment is measured by its adjusted EBITDA, defined, with respect to each segment, as net income before financial income, financial loss, inflation adjustment, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment. The Adjusted EBITDA does not exclude the amortization of the intangible asset related to the fixed fee payable to the corresponding governments for the operation of the airports concessions.
In addition, the CODM considers each reportable segment’s Adjusted EBITDA before Construction Services margin as a relevant performance measure.
Adjusted EBITDA excluding Construction Services is defined, with respect to each segment, as net income before construction services revenue, financial income, construction services cost, financial loss, inflation adjustment, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization for such segment. The Adjusted EBITDA excluding construction services revenue and construction services cost does not exclude the amortization of the intangible asset related to the fixed fee payable to the corresponding governments for the operation of airports concessions.

In order to determine the net taxable income of AA2000 at the end of this period, the tax inflation adjustment determined in accordance with articles No. 95 to No. 98 of the income tax law has been incorporated into the tax results for a total amount of ARS 1,375 million (approximately USD 18,049), due to the fact that as of September 30, 2020, the estimated price index variation for fiscal year 2020 will exceed 15%. Likewise, the income tax law allows the deferral of the charge generated by the tax inflation adjustment in six consecutive years, as a result, ARS 266 million (approximately USD 3,491) was recognized in current tax liabilities and ARS 1,109 million (approximately USD 14,558) as deferred tax liabilities.
(2) As of September 30, 2020, deferred tax assets on tax loss carry forwards from Brazilian concessions for a total amount of USD 44.3 million have been unrecognized because there is not sufficient evidence that there will be enough future taxable profits to use such tax losses.

During September 2020, the Company identified impairment indicators in its cash generating units across all of its business operational segments due to drastic measures undertaken by governments, such as flight restrictions and the closing of borders, to contain COVID-19 spread (see Note 1).
Therefore, the Company performed impairment tests based on cash flow projections covering the remaining concessions periods (value in use), based on key assumptions requiring management judgment combined with historical information. The key assumptions used in determining the recoverable amounts are number of passenger, fees, future operating expenses and discount rate.
For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating units (CGUs) of a subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that are expected to benefit from such business combination.
Impairment loss recognized in the evolution of concession assets corresponds to Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“ICASGA”) who performed, as of March 31, 2020 and September 30, 2020, impairment tests based on cash flow projections covering the remaining concession period of 21 years (value in use), based on key assumptions estimated with historical information and management judgment. The key assumptions were: number of passengers, fees, future operating expenses and discount rate.

The carrying value of the assets impaired as of March 31, 2020 was as follows:
| Net assets before impairment | Impairment | Net assets after impairment | ||||||||||
| ICASGA | 67,905 | (4,490 | ) | 63,415 | ||||||||
As of September 30, 2020, ICASGA conducted a similar analysis resulting in changes to the previous conclusions.
The carrying value of the assets impaired as of September 30, 2020 was as follows:
| Net assets before impairment | Impairment | Net assets after impairment | ||||||||||
| ICASGA | 50,800 | (22,877 | ) | 27,923 | ||||||||
The discount rate used was the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) which is considered to be a good indicator of capital cost. WACC was determined considering the risk of investing in equity, in airport sector and country.
The nominal discount rate used was 9.16% calculated from a Rolling WACC method considering the effects of debt over the capital and re-leverage of Beta.
As the calculation of the impairment applied to the intangible assets has as one of its main variables the discount rate, ICASGA carried out a sensitivity analysis showing the impact that it would have on the result if different rates were used. The result of this analysis is shown in the table below:
As of September 30, 2020:
| Estimated rate (Minus 1%) | Nominal Rate (9.16%) | Estimated rate (Plus 1%) | ||||||||||
| Impairment value | 19,361 | 22,877 | 25,940 | |||||||||
| Effect | (3,516 | ) | 3,063 | |||||||||
The number of passengers is the other main assumption for impairment test. In the current impairment test a compound annual growth rate of 4.87% between 2021 and 2039 was assumed. The result of this sensitivity analysis is shown in the table below:
As of September 30, 2020:
| Estimated rate (Minus 1%) | Passenger’s CAGR (4.87%) | Estimated Rate (Plus 1%) | ||||||||||
| Impairment value | 27,674 | 22,877 | 17,715 | |||||||||
| Effect | 4,797 | (5,162 | ) | |||||||||
The Company additionally tested the value of the goodwill for impairment. These tests led to the impairment of the goodwill for an amount of USD 35,906 related to CAAP’s Brazilian subsidiaries.
As of September 30, 2020, the recoverable amount of each defined CGU, other than those mentioned above, exceeds its carrying amount.

The Credit Facility Agreement between Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. (“ICASGA”) and the Banco Nacional do Desenvolvimento Economico e Social (“BNDES”) is secured by the pledge of the shares of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A, together with any dividends and distributions in connection therewith, as well as the fiduciary assignment of rights arising from the Natal Airport concession agreement and certain letters of guarantees issued by indirect shareholders and affiliates of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. for an amount of USD 6.1 million which was released during 2018. It also establishes a required pre-authorization by BNDES on payments of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de São Gonçalo do Amarante S.A. dividends if exceeding 25% of net profits.
The Credit Facility Agreement between Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia (“ICAB”) and BNDES is secured by the pledge of Inframérica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia and Inframerica Participaçoes S.A. shares, the fiduciary assignment of rights arising from the Brasilia airport concession agreement and letters of guarantee issued by indirect shareholders and affiliates of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia. It also establishes under certain circumstances a required pre-authorization by BNDES on payments of Inframerica Concessionária do Aeroporto de Brasilia dividends if exceeding 25% of net profits and compliance of certain financial ratios.
During 2017 and 2018 ICAB and ICASGA entered into amendments and extension agreements with BNDES with respect to their loans, in the case of ICASGA including an early repayment of a large part of the original debt and in ICAB including the extension of the final maturity and increasing the size of the credit facility.
In connection with such amendments and extension agreements, ACI Airports S.à r.l. and CAAP have agreed not to create any encumbrances on their shares of Inframerica, and not to sell, acquire, merge or spin-off assets or undertake any other action that results or that may result in a change in the current corporate structure of Inframerica or any change of control in Inframerica, without the prior consent of BNDES. ACI Airports S.à r.l. has agreed not to undertake any change of control in CAAP without the prior consent of BNDES. In addition, ACI Airports S.à r.l. has agreed to maintain a minimum credit rating of at least B- (the “Minimum Rating”) or a stand-alone rating (without including the sovereign rating) of at least BB+. The amendment and extension agreements also require additional security equivalent to the amount of twenty-four months of debt service for at least a two-year period (in the form of a bank guaranty, letter of credit, guaranty insurance or other acceptable modalities of guarantee), if the Minimum Rating is not maintained for any annual testing period.
As of June 30, 2020, the Minimum Rating has not been achieved and ICAB and ICASGA requested BNDES to provide a waiver regarding this obligation. Nevertheless, non-compliance with the Minimum Rating does not constitute an event of default under the agreements. As stated above, additional security has to be posted before September 30, 2020. As of September 30, 2020, BNDES has authorized a sixty-day extension of the term to meet the obligation for additional security or for obtaining a waiver from BNDES.
In March 2020, BNDES made available a program for joining a Standstill for the suspension of payments of principal and interest for six months. The amount of debt service suspended pursuant to the Standstill must be capitalized and paid in the remaining period of the financing contracts. ICAB and ICASGA applied for this program and obtained the approval on April 14, 2020.
On June 5, 2019, ICAB entered into a loan with Banco Votorantim S.A. - Bahamas Branch for an amount of USD 8.9 million due in June 2020. This loan was secured with a guarantee signed by Banco Votorantim S.A. Brazil with ICAB (“Contrato de Prestação de Garantia”). This guarantee agreement, dated June 14, 2019, was secured by a guarantee letter issued by CAAP for a total amount of USD 8.9 million or its equivalent in Brazilian Real which shall not be lower than R$ 36 million plus interest. Future payments of the loan were protected from the exposure to U.S. dollars exchange rate fluctuation with a cash flow swap derivative with Banco Votorantim S.A. from Brazil that denominates future payments in Brazilian Real for a total amount of R$ 36 million.
The USD operation with Banco Votorantim was settled as well as the derivative operation contracted together, and in April, May and June 2020, ICAB entered into loans for working capital with Banco Votorantim in the amount of R$ 18 million. These loans are secured by a guarantee letter issued by CAAP.

According to this agreement, these ratios must be met as of June 30 and December 31. As of June 30, 2020, and due to Covid-19 negative impact, AIA did not fulfil debt service coverage and adjusted debt service coverage ratio as required in the loan agreement. In order to remedy this situation, during the third quarter AIA obtained a waiver from Credit Suisse AG and reclassified as long-term its outstanding non-current balance previously presented as current as of June 30, 2020.

On April 29, AA2000 entered into a framework agreement (“Framework Agreement”) with the branch of Citibank established in the Republic of Argentina (“Citibank Argentina”) and the Lenders, in order to, among other things, effectively defer principal payments of the 2019 Credit Facilities. The Framework Agreement effectively defers payments of principal due by AA2000 under the 2019 Credit Facilities on August 19, 2020 and November 19, 2020, each of which amounts to USD 13.3 million. Such deferred amounts will be effectively payable by AA2000 in quarterly installments beginning in September 2021 and ending in June 2022.
Additionally, under the Framework Agreement, AA2000 signed the bilateral contracts with each of the financial institutions in accordance with the alternatives established and signed an amendment to the framework agreement where obligation to respect certain ratios foreseen in the 2019 Credit Facilities have been waived.
In accordance with the aforementioned renegotiation and the alternative adopted by ICBC, AA2000 has contracted derivative financial instruments with this financial institution for U.S. dollars futures purchases in order to hedge the exposure to exchange rate fluctuations between Argentine pesos and U.S. dollars of the two installments refinanced.

On August 19, 2020, AA2000 obtained four loans for a total amount of ARS 987 million to pay the installment of the renegotiated 2019 Credit Facilities agreement due in August. These loans accrue quarterly interest at a variable rate equivalent to the corrected BADLAR rate (“BADCOR”) plus an applicable margin of 5% nominal per annum and will be paid in four equal and consecutive quarterly installments beginning on September 19, 2021.
On May 11, 2020, AA2000 agreed to reschedule the USD 10 million loan with Banco Macro extending its term to July 24, 2021 with a nominal annual compensatory rate of 10%, subject to the payment of interest due on July 24, 2020 and a guarantee assignment of the future receivables for air station usage fees (for domestic flights) to be collected from Aerolíneas Argentinas S.A.

15 Contingencies, commitments and restrictions on the distribution of profits
a. Contingencies
CAAP and its subsidiaries are, from time to time, subject to various claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings, including customer claims, in which third parties are seeking payment for alleged damages, reimbursement for losses or indemnity. Some of these claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings are subject to substantial uncertainties. Accordingly, the potential liability with respect to such claims, lawsuits and other legal proceedings cannot be estimated with certainty. Management, with the assistance of legal counsel, periodically reviews the status of each significant matter and assesses potential financial exposure. If a potential loss from a claim, lawsuit or proceeding is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, a provision is recorded. Accruals for loss contingencies reflect a reasonable estimate of the losses to be incurred based on information available to management as of the date of preparation of the financial statements, and take into consideration the Group’s litigation and settlement strategies.
The Company believes that the aggregate provisions recorded for losses in these financial statements, are adequate based upon currently available information.
Brazil legal proceedings
On September, 2014, ICAB started a lawsuit that discusses the collection of Property and Urban Territorial Tax (“IPTU”) by the Federal District. On October, 2014, the Judge granted a provisional decision, suspending the tax collection. On April, 2015, a favorable sentence was handed down to the ICAB, dismissing the collection as unfounded. On March, 2017, the State Court confirmed that sentence, based on previous decisions from the Supreme Court. After that, the Supreme Court had a new trial on a different case, where the taxpayers lost. That led the State Court to hold a new trial. On April, 2018, the decision was slightly changed. The court still said ICAB did not have to pay IPTU, but it was stated that stores that had contracts with ICAB that were not connected with the airport or airline services did have to pay IPTU. Both parts appealed again from that decision, so it was sent to the Supreme Court. The decision in regards to these appeals is now pending.
Based on a different interpretation of this latest decision, the Federal District started a new lawsuit, demanding the payment of R$ 5 million of IPTU. On March of 2020, ICAB presented a defense stating that this tax could not be imposed by Local Government over an airport that belongs to the Federal Government, what is endorsed by decision still valid on the lawsuit previously mentioned. Up to now, the judge has not decided the case. Many airports in Brazil are facing the same discussion.
Regarding ICASGA’s lawsuit regarding tax proceedings, on May 27, 2020, ICASGA’s appeal was granted, and once again the tax collection was suspended. The Municipality appealed again, this time before the Brazilian Supreme Court. On June 16, 2020, the Supreme Court President denied that appeal. The tax collection remains suspended until trial by the State Court.
On September 9, 2020, Infraero contacted ICAB regarding the preliminary result of the audit done by Infraero about the EPC - a contract Inframerica signed with Helvix (a joint venture between Helport and Engevix) - for a major remodeling at the airport between 2012-2014, required by the concession agreement. The aforementioned audit was requested to Infraero by the Tribunal de Contas da União (“TCU”). Infraero considered that the main contract had no excessive pricing signal but noted possible irregularities on the four addendums that were incorporated to the original contract. If confirmed, these alleged irregularities could amount to up to 150 million Brazilian Reals, a loss Inframerica would have to claim from Helvix. Inframerica had already been gathering information to refute these allegations and presented a response on September 22, 2020, claiming that there were no irregularities. Infraero will analyze what has been presented and will later present a conclusion to the TCU.
All the proceedings revealed in this note have been classified by the local legal counsels as possible.
There are no other lawsuits or legal proceedings different from the ones included in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2019.

(“ICASGA”) filed a request to the Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (“ANAC”) to commence the re-bidding process of the International Airport of São Gonçalo do Amarante (“Natal Airport”), pursuant to Law No. 13,448 of July 5, 2017, and ANAC Resolution No. 533 of November 7, 2019. This process will have several stages. At the present time, ANAC is processing its preliminary analysis and is expected to take a position on the matter in the coming months.
If the request is approved, the operation of Natal Airport will be transferred to a different operator after a new bidding process, and an indemnification payment will be made to ICASGA. The amount of this payment will be determined by the authorities, based primarily on non-amortized capital expenditure investments. In the interim, ICASGA will maintain all airport operations, with the same safety and service quality, as well as commercial and employment contracts. The re-bidding request is limited to the Natal Airport concession.
Several factors drove the Company’s decision to seek return of this concession. Passenger traffic has been negatively impacted by the adverse economic conditions in Brazil over the past years, particularly affecting tourism activity in the country, which resulted in lower than expected passenger traffic. At Natal Airport in particular, total passenger traffic reached 2.3 million in 2019, compared to the 4.3 million expected as per the feasibility study. In addition, as the Natal Airport concession occurred in 2011 and was the first airport concession in Brazil, passenger tariffs lag those of all other privatized airports in the country under the same tariff scheme, which as of December 2019 are in average 35% higher than Natal Airport tariffs and air navigation tariffs charged in other airports are 301% higher than at Natal Airport. This situation has required CAAP to make capital contributions to sustain this concession and thus allow ICASGA to remain in compliance with all of its financial obligations towards the Brazilian Government and financial institutions.
On May 26, 2020, the ANAC issued its affirmative vote to the technical and legal feasibility on the request of the re-bidding process initiated by ICASGA.
On June 3, 2020, the process obtained the approval of the Ministério da Infraestrutura and on June 10, 2020, the Conselho do Programa de Parcerias de Investimentos of the Ministério da Economia expressed a favorable opinion and submitted the qualification for re-bidding to the President of Brazil.
On August 24, 2020, the President of Brazil issued Decree No. 10.472 which qualified São Gonçalo do Amarante airport under the Programa de Parcerias de Investimentos (“PPI”) for re-bidding purposes. A period of ninety days was established for the signing of the addendum to the concession contract.
As previously mentioned, the process of re-bidding is still in progress and will go through several stages, at this moment there is no accounting impact of this operation in ICASGA nor CAAP financial figures, the measurement and the accounting will be carried out according to the terms of the addendum or contract, if and when signed.
Council of State judgement – Toscana Aeroporti S.p.A. (“TA”) expansion plan
On February 13, 2020, the Council of State issued a judgement rejecting the appeal lodged by, inter alia, Italy's Ministry of the Environment and Protection of the Land and Sea, Italy's Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, Italian Civil Aviation Authority (“ENAC”), Municipality of Florence, Region of Tuscany, Metropolitan City of Florence and TA on the decision of the Regional Administrative Court of Tuscany No. 723 of 2019.

The AAP Concession Agreement
On February 6, 2020, Banco de Crédito del Perú (“BCP”) issued guarantees in favor of AAP for equipment acquisitions for the concession for a total amount of USD 220 thousands.
The letters of credit of CAAP with Citibank in favour of AAP for concession contract fulfilment and works to be performed were replaced with two standby letters of credit of Corporación América Sudamericana S.A. with Morgan Stanley for a total amount of USD 2.25 and USD 0.6 respectively.
Brazilian Concession Agreements
In Brazil, the pandemic was recognized as a case of "force majeure" or "fortuitous case", and for that reason the loss is not part of the risks assumed by the private sector and must be compensated by the Government, which may use alternatives such as: reduction in the value of concession fee, increase in fees charged or extension of the contract. The Civil Aviation Secretariat of the Ministry of Infrastructure, on the other hand, stated that the Government should accept a reduction in the fixed concession fee to be paid by airports concessionaires. According to the Civil Aviation Secretariat, a discount on the annual concession fee should be granted by way of economic and financial re-equilibrium of the contracts. The Government still studies what compensation methods should be offered while recognizing the case of the concession holders.
On July 9, 2020, ICAB and ICASGA have filed an Administrative process to formally require the economic and financial re-equilibrium of their concessions for the year 2020. A reduction of the concession fee to be paid in December 2020 might be one of the methods of compensation.
Italian Concession Agreements extension
In view of the drop in traffic at Italian airports deriving from the Covid-19 virus outbreak and in order to contain the consequent economic effects, the term of all the current concessions for the management and development of airport activities was extended by two additional years under Law No. 77 of July 17, 2020, which amends Article 202 paragraph 1-bis of Decree-Law No. 34 of May 19, 2020.
Ecuador Concession Agreement
On September 7, 2020, Terminal Aeroportuaria de Guayaquil S.A. (“TAGSA”) formally requested to the Autoridad Aeroportuaria de Guayaquil (“AAG”) the restoration of economic and financial equilibrium, and the application of compensation mechanisms under the concession agreement invoking “force majeure” or “fortuitous event”. In addition, TAGSA requested the postponement of payment of its contractual financial obligations including concession fees, administrative service fees and investments pending execution.
