Thank you, Natalia, and good morning, everyone. Before I begin discussing our results, let me remind you that certain statements made during the call today may constitute forward-looking statements, which are based on current management and are subject to several risks and uncertainties that would cause adverse results to differ materially, including factors that may be beyond our company's control. Additional details about our third quarter 2025 results can be found in our prejudice, which was issued yesterday after market close, and is available on our website in the debtor relations section. Following my presentation, I will be available for Q&A. As usual, all comparisons discussed on this call will be year-on-year, and figures are expressed in Mexican pesos, unless specified otherwise. Before discussing our results, I would like to begin today's call with an important strategic development. As recently announced, for an enterprise value of $295 million. This transaction marks a significant step forward in Azur's international expansion strategy. Building our established presence in the U.S., which began with the operation of San Juan Puerto Rico Airport in 2013, URW Airports UIW airports manage commercial programs at three of the terminals, at three of the airports in the United States. Los Angeles International Airport with six terminals, Chicago-Hare International Airport at Terminal 1, and the case of John F. Kennedy International Airport covering Terminals 8 and the upcoming new Terminal 1. Together, these terminals process around 40 million employment channels This acquisition provides us with a strategic foothold in the three of the largest U.S. air travel markets and strengthens our position in the high growth, non-regulated commercial segment in the U.S. airport industry. The acquisition will be financed by JPMorgan Chase. As with all our strategic positions, with a financial discipline and operational vigor that has long defined ASUS execution. Closing is expected during the second half of the 2025. Subject to customary regulatory approvals, we look forward to keeping you updated on our progress in the quarters ahead. Now turning to our third quarter performance. we served over 17 million passengers across our airports, with traffic remaining practically flat as continued growth in Colombia and Puerto Rico, helping to offset persistent headwinds in Mexico. Starting with Colombia, passenger traffic rose 3% to close to 5 million, supported by a solid 11% increase in international traffic and a modest growth, just under 1% in domestic public In Puerto Rico, total traffic was up 1%, reaching over 3 million passengers. Growth was prevented by international passengers, which increased nearly 12% year-on-year, offsetting the 0.5% decrease in domestic traffic. In Mexico, traffic declined 1%, to nearly 10 million passengers for the quarter. The decrease reflects software demands domestic traffic, which was down nearly 2%, and international, which saw a slight contraction of 0.3%. Passenger volumes from the United States, our largest international source market, decreased just 0.2%, while South America contracted 7.2%. On the positive note, Canada and Europe increased 9.3% and 1.3%, respectively. Looking ahead, we anticipate a more balanced operating environment across our portfolio. In Mexico, we expect traffic to gradually stabilize over the next year as air traffic ability improves. In Puerto Rico and Colombia, we expect continued positive momentum supported by the Health International of the Land and improving connectivity. Now turning to review our collection results, As a reminder, all figures exclude construction revenues and cost, unless otherwise noted. Comparisons are all year-on-year, unless otherwise noted. Total revenues increase in the middle single digits, reaching over 7 billion pesos, driven by global Puerto Rico and Colombia. Mexico, at 72% of total revenues, posted a slight low single-digit decline. without aeronautical revenues practically flat or non-aeronautical revenues down in the middle single digits. Revenue growth was limited by softer passenger volumes and a stronger vessel, which continues to wait on the U.S.-linked revenue streams. Puerto Rico, at nearly 18% of total revenues, reported revenue growth in the high single digits percent in non-aeronautical revenues. This performance reflects positive passenger traffic trends and sustained the matter across commercial activities. Colombia, which accounted for 12% of the total revenues, delivered revenue growth in the high single digits, reflecting a mid-single digit increase in aeronautical revenues, while non-aeronautical revenues were partially offset by the strong Mexican peso. Continuing our ongoing focus on commercial development, we are employing five new commercial stations across our airports over the last 12 months, including 31 in Colombia, eight in Puerto Rico, and six in Mexico. We supported a low single-digit increase in commercial revenues, a solid growth in Puerto Rico, and Colombia was felt partially upset by a weaker performance in Mexico. On a per-passager basis, commercial revenue rose 1 percent to 126 pesos. By region, Colombia left a 14 percent increase, followed by Puerto Rico up 10 percent, while Mexico posted a 4 percent decline, reaching 144 pesos per passenger. by region Mexico posted a 4% increase, largely due to higher maximum minimum wages and service costs. Puerto Rico reported expense increase of nearly 8%, reflecting inflationary pressures and higher operating revenues. While Colombia cost increases 76% would have been 5.4%. Lastly, in Puerto Rico and Colombia, costs benefited from the decision on Mexican pesos against the U.S. dollar. On the profitability front, consolidated MDA declined just over 1% year-on-year to 4.6 billion pesos in the quarter. Puerto Rico and Colombia delivered MDA growth of nearly 5% reflecting lower traffic and higher operating costs. Tetra Stabilia margin, which excludes construction-related revenues and costs under IFRIC 12, declined by 157 basis points to 66.7%. This reflects lower margin contribution from the Mexican and Puerto Rican operation, where the margin contracted 150 price. On our bottom line, this quarter was negatively impacted by the acquisition of the Mexican peso against the U.S. dollar, which resulted in a foreign exchange loss of nearly 1 billion pesos compared to the reverse effect during the third quarter of last year. Profitability was also affected by the 333 million pesos adjustment in the concerted amortization method I just explained. Now, moving toward balance sheet, we close the quarter with a solid cash position of 63 billion pesos, down 19% from December 31st, 2024, primarily reflecting dividend payments major in the period. Our net debt from written items. Note that in November we will be trading an additional dividend of 15 pesos per share. Lastly, we invest close to 1.9 billion pesos in the quarter, currently directed to projects In closing, our third quarter is offered by the resilience of multi-country traffic and the value of our discipline execution amid a more temperate demand environment. While traffic in Mexico continues to face near-term half-wheels, we are encouraged by the ongoing momentum in Thank you.

We will now begin the question and answer session. To ask a question, dial in by phone and press the star then 1 on your telephone keypad. Make sure your mute function is turned off. And if you're using a speakerphone, please pick up your handset before pressing the keys. To withdraw your question, please press the star, then two. At this time, we will pause momentarily to assemble our roster. One moment. The first question comes from Adolfo Ramos with Bradesco BBI. Please proceed.

Good morning, Adolfo. Thanks for taking my question. I have a couple, if I may. The first one is in regards to the URW acquisition. Can you shed a bit of light on the economics, revenue per tax, how much EBITDA contribution you're expecting from these assets on an annualized basis? And the second is on Colombia. Can you elaborate on this adjustment to the concession amortization method that we saw during the quarter? Was this a one-off, or should it be a new level going forward? And this has to do something with the economics of your concession title there. Thank you. Good morning.

Thank you for your questions. In the case of URW, I cannot yet share numbers with you until all of this is approved. In the case of Colombia, basically what we have done is to change the monetization method because in accordance with our estimates, during 2027, we will not receive regulated revenues anymore, and the concession should be over by 2022 so we are aligning the motivation in accordance with the revenue generation there and it's it's going to be not one off it's going to be from now the same level thank you you're welcome

The next question comes from Anton Morton-Cotter with GBM. Please proceed.

Hi, Adolfo. Thank you for the call. I wanted to follow up a little bit on URW. I understand you cannot discuss the financials, but leaving that aside, it seems like a great way to gain some strategic insight into the consumer that that goes from the airports to the U.S. I just was wondering if you could discuss a little bit what kind of seniority do you see or what is the strategic structure now behind this acquisition? Thank you.

Thank you, Antonio. Well, basically, the most important for us is to put a foot in the U.S. market. The U.S. market represents 20% of the aviation market of the world. and these terminals are extremely important for the U.S. market. So putting our name there, it's extremely important, and this should be the platform for future growth in the United States, probably in the same kind of contracts that we are entering right now. That is the most important thing.

Perfect. Thanks.

Thank you. Our next question comes from . Please proceed.

Hi, Adolfo. Thank you for taking my question. I have two here on my side. The first one is about Notiva Airport. that are for sale, which being seeing the new fold that Assure is one of the candidates interested in this airport. So I was just wondering if you could provide some more information if you're looking, for example, at all of the airports or just a subset of them and how the company finances this. And my next question is regarding the traffic trends that you've been seeing for Mexico. We've been seeing recently on news as well that Tulum Airport has been facing some cancellations, and if you think that this could help Cancun Airport in the near future. Thank you. These are my two questions.

Good morning. I am the principal of . In the case of the traffic trends, what I see today is a slow recuperation in the domestic market because of problem with the engines, something that should improve, in my opinion, during the next year. For the moment, the traffic is really weak and the demand is weak in the case of the region. If we see Cancun and Tulu together, For the first eight months of the year, and I'm saying eight months because that is the latest public figure for the case of the airport of Tulum, the traffic for the region is a decrease of 3.1. If we go to the latest month that has been published for the case of the airport of Tulum, which is the month of August, piece of 5.1%. So the traffic is strong. Nevertheless, what you are saying in terms of recent cancellations to the airport of two.

Thank you. Our next question comes from... Sorry.

Could you repeat?

Our next question comes from Pablo Ricardi. The next question comes from Pablo Ricardi with A2. Please proceed.

Thank you, Maureen Adolfo. My question is related to the non-mutual law one in Cancun. Is it still expected to be open around Q3 2026 or there are delays on that construction of that one?

Pablo, hi, good morning. What we are expecting is to open this new facility during the third quarter of 2025, 2026, sorry. Okay.

So, I would expect it.

The next question comes from Gabriel Hemmerath with Deutsche Bank. Please proceed.

Just two questions. First, is there any way or somehow that capacity allocation from carriers has been shifting from Cancun? And the second one is the decrease in traffic could somehow make the pace of driving the trucks toward the maximum truck faster for either this year or next year? Thank you.

Well, in terms of capacity, we are not seeing a shift in capacity. What we are seeing basically is a weak demand, as I said, from the domestic resulted from Pratt & Whitney and some other elements. And in the case of the U.S., the numbers for the quarter is 0.2% decrease, which is the largest market we have. Let's see how the winter comes, and I hope that the winter will be very strong in the north part of the Americas, and then they come. Positive side is the case of Canada, which is off for the quarter, and I hope that it will be off during the fourth quarter as well.

Okay, thank you. And in the case of the traffic that has somehow decreased, that could accelerate the pace on which tariffs are increased up to the maximum tariffs?

No, I don't see that. Our maximum tax compliance this year should be similar to what it was last year, so more than 99%.

Okay, thank you. You're welcome.

Once again, to ask a question, please press star 1 at this time. One moment, please. At this time, we'll turn the call back over to Mr. Adolfo Castro for closing comments.
