Corporación América Airports misses Q1 estimates, shares fall 6%

LUXEMBOURG - Corporación América Airports S.A. (NYSE:CAAP) reported first quarter earnings that fell short of analyst expectations, sending shares down 6% in after-hours trading.

The airport operator posted adjusted earnings per share of $0.25, missing the consensus estimate of $0.48. Revenue came in at $447.8 million, below analyst projections of $505.81 million.

"We had a solid start to 2025, driven by a strong recovery in Argentina and traffic growth across all our markets," said CEO Martín Eurnekian. He noted Argentina led the rebound with double-digit growth and record-high volumes in January.

Revenue excluding construction services grew 6.4% YoY to $416.9 million. Adjusted EBITDA excluding IAS 29 accounting rose 4% to $157.9 million.

The company maintained a strong liquidity position with cash and equivalents of $448.6 million as of March 31. Net debt to LTM adjusted EBITDA stood at 1.1x, unchanged from the end of 2024.

Corporación América Airports operates 52 airports across six countries in Latin America and Europe. The company’s shares were down 6% following the earnings release.
