MEXICO CITY, April 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S.A.B. de C.V. (NYSE: ASR; BMV: ASUR), (ASUR) the first privatized airport group in Mexico and operator of Cancun Airport and eight other airports in southeast Mexico, today announced results for the three-month period ended March 31, 2008.

   1Q08 Highlights(1):    — EBITDA(2) increased by 28.45% to Ps.583.0 million.   — Total passenger traffic up 18.17%.   — Total revenues rose by 23.98%, mainly due to increases of 44.80% in      non-aeronautical revenues and 16.25% in aeronautical revenues.   — Commercial revenues per passenger rose by 28.29% to Ps.45.94 per      passenger.   — Operating profit increased by 33.70%.   — EBITDA margin was 67.02% compared with 64.68% in 1Q07.    1. Unless otherwise stated, all financial figures discussed in this      announcement are unaudited, prepared in accordance with Mexican      Financial Reporting Standards and represent comparisons between the      three-month periods ended March 31, 2008, and the equivalent      three-month period ended March 31, 2007. Results for 1Q07 are expressed      in constant Mexican pesos as of December 31, 2007, while 1Q08 results      are in nominal pesos. Tables state figures in thousands of pesos,      unless otherwise noted. Passenger figures exclude transit and general      aviation passengers. Commercial revenues include revenues from the      activities of non-permanent ground transportation and parking lots. All      U.S. dollar figures are calculated at the exchange rate of      US$1 = Ps.10.6482.    2. EBITDA means net income before: provision for taxes, deferred taxes,      deferred employees profit sharing, non-ordinary items, comprehensive      financing cost, and depreciation and amortization. EBITDA should not be      considered as an alternative to net income, as an indicator of our      operating performance, or as an alternative to cash flow as an      indicator of liquidity. Our management believes that EBITDA provides a      useful measure of our performance that is widely used by investors and      analysts to evaluate our performance and compare it with other      companies. EBITDA is not defined under U.S. GAAP, and may be calculated      differently by different companies.     Passenger Traffic  

For the first quarter of 2008, total passenger traffic increased year-over-year by 18.17%. Domestic passenger traffic increased by 27.39% and international passenger traffic rose by 13.27%.

The 13.27% rise in international passenger traffic resulted mainly from the 13.83% increase at the Cancun airport.

The 27.39% rise in domestic passenger traffic resulted mainly from increases of 30.05%, 65.73%, 34.60%, 24.08% and 43.22% at the Cancun, Cozumel, Merida, Oaxaca and Villahermosa airports, respectively.

The increase in domestic traffic was principally due to strong demand for air travel in Mexico and to the opening of new airline services at several of our airports. The Easter and Holy week holidays, both of which fell in the first quarter this year, also contributed to the increase. In 2007 both holiday weeks fell in the second quarter.

Consolidated Results for 1Q08  

Total revenues for 1Q08 increased year-over-year by 23.98% to Ps.869.9 million. This was mainly due to increases of:

   — 16.25% in revenues from aeronautical services, principally as a result      of the 18.17% rise in passenger traffic; and   — 44.80% in revenues from non-aeronautical services, principally as a      result of the 51.52% rise in commercial revenues detailed below.   

ASUR classifies commercial revenues as those derived from the following activities: duty-free services, car rental, retail, banking and currency exchange, advertising, teleservices, non-permanent ground transportation, food and beverage, and parking lots.

Commercial revenues rose by 51.52% year-over-year during the quarter, principally as a result of revenue increases in the following areas:

   — 62.82% increase in duty-free stores;   — 81.55% increase in food and beverage;   — 47.77% increase in retail operations;   — 19.62% increase in parking lots;   — 35.55% increase in advertising;   — 73.12% increase in banking and currency exchange services;   — 31.58% increase in ground transportation;   — 10.19% increase in car rental companies;   — 40.08% increase in teleservices; and   — 67.23% increase in other revenues.    

The growth in each of these areas resulted generally from the rise in passenger traffic and in particular from the opening on May 18, 2007 of Cancun Airport’s new Terminal 3, including the following commercial establishments:

Retail revenues continued to benefit from higher concession fees from local craft and specialty shops. The increase in car rental revenues reflect rate increases negotiated in October 2007 and the lease of eight new commercial parking facilities in Terminal 3. The increase in parking lot revenues was partially due to annual rate increases at several airports. Revenues from banking and currency exchange services rose as a result of the opening of new Banco Santander branches at the Cancun, Merida and Veracruz airports.

Total operating costs and expenses for 1Q08 increased 15.62% year over year, primarily as a result of:

   — a 15.33% increase in cost of services, primarily reflecting higher      energy, maintenance and cleaning costs resulting from the operation of      Terminal 3 at Cancun Airport. Costs of services also include marketing      expenses in connection with the Company’s participation in promotional      fairs;   — a 15.28% increase in depreciation and amortization, resulting from the      depreciation of investments in fixed assets and improvements made to      concession assets;   — a 28.14% increase in the cost of technical assistance, reflecting the      increase in EBITDA for the quarter (a factor in the calculation of the      fee); and   — a 24.00% increase in concession fees paid to the Mexican government,      mainly due to higher revenues (a factor in the calculation of the fee).    

These increases were partially offset by a 3.34% decline in administrative expenses.

Operating margin for the quarter increased to 49.87% from 46.25% in 1Q07. This was mainly the result of the 23.98% increase in total revenues, which more than offset the increase in costs during the period.

Following the changes in Mexican tax law that took effect January 1, 2008, which established a new flat rate business tax (“Impuesto Empresarial a Tasa Unica,” or “IETU”) and eliminated the asset tax, the Company evaluated and reviewed its deferred assets and liabilities position under Mexican Financial Reporting Standards. As a result of this review, the Company created a deferred IETU provision that resulted in a charge to income in the period of Ps.4.86 million.

During 1Q08 the ASUR subsidiaries that pay IETU made provisional tax payments of Ps.16.46 million that were applied to the results for the period.

Main Changes in Accounting Practices

During 1Q08 the Company began implementing several changes in accounting practices as a result of the following changes in Mexican Financial Reporting Standards (NIFs) and Mexican Interim Financial Reporting Standards (INIFs) which became effective on January 1, 2008:

   — Pursuant to NIF B-10, inflation accounting is not applicable for 2008.      The most significant impact of this change is that the result from      monetary position is not determined for 2008. Under NIF B-10, inflation      accounting will henceforth apply only during periods in which the      cumulative inflation rate over the previous three years equals, or      exceeds, 26%. As a result of this change, results for 1Q08 are      expressed in nominal pesos.   — To address issues relating to the transition to NIF B-10, the      comparative figures for 1Q07 will continue to be expressed in constant      pesos as of December 31, 2007 pursuant to INIF 9.   — The decline in deferred income taxes resulted principally from the      elimination, as of December 31, 2007 of the deferred income tax      provision for the airport subsidiaries that are expected to pay IETU.      Additionally, the results reflect a decrease in timing differences in      the calculation of fixed asset values.   — The “Statement of Cash Flows” replaces the “Statement of Changes in      Financial Position” pursuant to NIF B2. Therefore, the cash flow      figures presented for 1Q08 may not be directly comparable with the cash      flow figures presented for 1Q07.   

For 1Q08 the Company reported net income of Ps.352.07 million, compared with net income of Ps.229.69 million in 1Q07. Earnings per common share for the quarter were Ps.1.1736, or earnings per ADS (EPADS) of US$1.1021 (one ADS represents ten series B common shares). This compares with Ps.0.7656, or EPADS of US$0.7190, for the same period last year.

Tariff Regulation  

The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation regulates the majority of ASUR’s activities by setting maximum rates, which represent the rates for the maximum possible revenues allowed per traffic unit at each airport.

ASUR’s regulated revenues for 1Q08 were Ps.614.9 million, resulting in an annual average tariff per workload unit of Ps.98.46. ASUR’s regulated revenues accounted for approximately 70.69% of total income for the period. The Mexican Ministry of Communications and Transportation reviews compliance with the maximum rates on an annual basis at the close of each year.

Balance Sheet
