and lot valuation. The profit from the sale of raw lots is classified under other revenue in the P&L.
The cost of ordinary activities in 4Q2022 closed at COP 51.65 billion, an increase of 100.7%
compared to the same period the previous year, explained by higher sales by the real estate
business associated with increased revenues in this segment.
Operating expenses for the quarter closed at COP 60,267 billion, a 72.2% increase associated
with inflationary pressure, business reactivation, and special company projects.

Net Income
Net income for the year is COP 346 billion. Highlights include positive results from the real
estate business.
Grupo Argos’s separate debt ended the second quarter at COP 1.1 trillion, with 99% of its loans
maturing after 2023, providing the company with greater financial flexibility and allowing it to
end out the period with healthy indebtedness indicators that are in line with its current credit
ratings.
Financing rates have increased worldwide, leading the cost of debt to end the year at 12%, an
increase compared to the rate in December 2021. However, the company has implemented a
number of hedging mechanisms to partially mitigate increased rates. If the company had not
implemented a hedging strategy, the financing rate would now be 15.5%, 350 basic points
higher than it is.
A highlight of the treasury strategy is that the company has invested in COP 180 billion in fixed
return securities that give rise to a positive carries, as their returns are higher than the cost of
debt.
Revenue was COP 5.7 trillion during the period, an increase of 29.4% compared to 4Q2021.
Increased consolidated revenue has mainly been driven by historic revenue levels registered
throughout the year by the cement and energy businesses, as well as positive contributions

from the concessions business, the real estate business, and investments in associated
companies.
Increased costs and expenses for the period (+32.8% YOY) are due to increasing variable costs
from higher sales volumes during the period and to cost inflation across all sectors, especially
in the cement business where the cost of fuel has increased substantially.
The cost of financial activity corresponds to the costs associated with a divestment of 50% in
the road concessions business in Colombia that had associated revenue and made a positive
contribution to EBITDA and Net Income.
Consolidated EBITDA
Higher sales levels resulted in increased EBITDA, which closed at COP 1.34 trillion for the
quarter and COP 5.2 trillion accumulated. Highlights are the energy business, the real estate

business and the concessions business with increased contributions of 33%, 57%, and 66%
respectively.
Financial expenses at the end of the year increased 39.4% compared to the end of 2021 due
to higher indexation rates even with reductions in overall debt during the period.
Net income for 2022 increased 19.4% compared to the previous year, closing December at
COP 1.44 trillion. Cumulative net income to the controlling interest ended the year at COP 881
billion, growing 49% compared to December 2021.

Pactia
In the real estate income business, the Pactia real estate fund has had effective annual
returns of 6.00% since its incorporation on January 20, 2017, with value per unit of COP
$14,142.39 including returns and $13,282.19 without returns.
There were 187,517,359 total units in circulation on December 31, implying an Equity value
of COP 931 billion for Grupo Argos’s 70,106,639 units. It should also be noted that, during
the quarter, the fund carried out a COP 15 billion buyback of units belonging to Protección.
Total GLA was effectively the same compared to the end of 3Q2022, from 804,722 sq. mt. to
803,509 sq.mt. Over the last 12 months, total GLA decreased 4.1% due to divestments in
flexible office space in Chantilly, Virginia, United States and the Sonesta Valledupar and GHL
Style Neiva hotels. At a portfolio level, assets mostly focus on commercial and industrial
properties with 632 thousand sq. mts. of GLA. Assets under management totaled COP 3.87
trillion during the third quarter, and liabilities ended the period at COP 1.38 trillion.
After the buyback of units belonging to Protección, the shareholding structure as of December
31 was as follows: 37.39% Conconcreto, 37.39% Grupo Argos, and 25.23% Protección.
Gross cash revenues for the quarter were COP 109 billion, a 1% year-over-year increase, while
net operating revenue was COP 70 billion, a decrease of 2%. EBITDA for the quarter was COP
52 billion, a 2% year-on-year increase. After adjusting for divestments, gross cash revenue,
net operating revenue and EBITDA grew 11%, 14% and 26% respectively.
Finally, for the same assets for the year-to-date, gross cash revenue, net operating revenue
and EBITDA grew 25%, 24% and 34% respectively.

ODINSA
Consolidated Results 4Q2022
In 4Q2022, Odinsa received prefeasibility approval from the National Infrastructure Agency for
its El Dorado Max Private Initiative, which advances thus to the feasibility stage. This initiative
intends to expand and improve the existing infrastructure of El Dorado Airport to increase its
capacity from 40 million passengers per year to 60 million passengers per year with a new
terminal, more parking positions, extension of the north runway, and expansion of the cargo
terminal. The Capex for the initiative is approximately USD 2.1 million. This will be an efficient
solution to maximize use of the El Dorado Airport’s current terminal and is a key project for the
development of the country and the region.
In 4Q2022, traffic on most assets increased significantly compared with 2021, which allowed
us to end the year with positive results. During the fourth quarter, roadway concession
reported 10.4 million vehicles in total traffic vs. 10.1 million vehicles in 2021, an increase of
2%. Passengers through the airport concessions increased 23% in 4Q2022, from 8 million
passengers in 2021 to 11 million passengers in 2022.
Before explaining the results of the quarter, that were very positive, it should be remembered
that conclusion of the roadway platform business with MAM is generating (as of June this year)
changes in the way Odinsa books accounting results for the 4 roadway concessions included
under the platform. This is because Odinsa is no longer a direct shareholder in these roadway
projects, and is now an investor in a Private Equity Fund, which, in turn, invests in these
projects.
These changes imply deconsolidation of the following roadway concessions: Autopistas del
Café (including its construction consortium), Malla Vial del Meta and Túnel Aburrá Oriente.
These will begin to be recorded under a single entry included in Odinsa’s Financial Statements
using the equity method to book its share of returns from the Private Equity Fund. This will also
happen once precedent conditions for operating the airport platform are achieved. Grupo
Argos currently consolidates the El Dorado airport concession. Once the transaction has been
concluded, Grupo Argos will cease consolidation and Odinsa will carry the results of the asset
using the equity method to book it share of returns from the Private Equity Fund.
Starting to analyze 4Q results, Odinsa booked COP 3 billion in consolidated revenue during the
fourth quarter of 2022 arising from revenues from its share in the private equity fund and
booked under the equity method.

4th Quarter of 2022:
Concessions Business
Only revenues from Green Corridor are registered in the roadway concession segment, as it is
the only concession it continues consolidating after conclusion of the roadway vertical in June.
During the fourth quarter, Green Corridor reported COP 6 billion in revenue.
It should be highlighted that revenue has increased for most of the roadway concessions, for
a total of COP 273 billion (18% YOY). This is mainly explained by traffic recovery and, in the
case of MVM, by construction revenues, as it began construction work during 2022.
Finally, Odinsa obtained positive Revenue, EBITDA, and Net Income from the airport segment
via the Equity Method (EM), resulting from increasing passenger traffic. This segment
contributed about COP 23 billion to the quarter’s results as of September 2022, approximately
COP 4 billion more than the same period the previous year. It should be mentioned that Opain's
results, despite being very positive, do not contribute to Odinsa's results due to an accounting
decision made in 2021 under which this assets’ results will only begin to be recorded in
Odinsa's results once its equity ceases to present negative values. This is expected to occur in
2023.
EBITDA for 4Q2022 has a variation of 112% YOY, with a value of COP 30 billion. This increase
is mainly explained by the early termination of the Autopistas del Nordeste and Boulevard
Turístico del Atlántico concessions in the last quarter of 2021. The airport segment contributed
COP 23 billion (+25% YOY) to EBITDA, in line with the revenue mentioned previously.
Comparisons to 2021 are affected by the roadway vertical and the accounting effects
mentioned before.
Net Income to the Controlling Interest increased by approximately COP 124 billion in 4Q2022
compared to the same period the previous year (COP -191 billion in 4Q2022). Due to the
effects of the divestment of the two concessions in the Dominican Republic.
The company's consolidated financial debt ended the third quarter at COP 631 trillion, a
reduction of 76% compared to the year before. This reduction corresponds mainly to early
payment of debt belonging to Odinsa Holding and Odinsa SA for close to COP 1.2 trillion and
deconsolidation of the debt in Autopistas del Nordeste, Boulevard Turístico del Atlántico, and
the roadways transferred to the Private Equity Fund.
Compared to 4Q2021, debt costs in COP showed decreased 187 basis points, due to the
deconsolidation of the debt in pesos of the concessions and prepayment of debt belonging to
Odinsa Holding and Odinsa S.A. Debt costs in USD increased 337 basis points, explained by
increased indexation rates.
The balance for separated debt was COP 424 billion at the end of 4Q2022, 73% lower than at
the same cut-off date the previous year.
Results for the third quarter compared to the same period the previous year can be found

Traffic increased 12% YOY on this concession compared to 4Q2021, with 3.7 million vehicles.
ADT growth from 36 thousand to 40 thousand vehicles per day compared to 4Q2021 provides
evidence of solid demand for transportation and connectivity between the valleys, as well as
service levels on the concession and an evident improvement in airport traffic associated with
the José María Córdoba Airport.
Revenue increased 26%, EBITDA 68%, and Net Income 154% YOY in 4Q2022. Higher
revenues are a result of increased traffic, COVID compensation (AMB 52), and accounting
revenue from accounts receivable from the Government. The rate of the latter increased as
they are indexed against the CPI, increasing their value compared to the same period the year
before. Operating expenses also decreased during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Traffic on this concession decreased 8% YOY during 4Q2022, reaching 664 thousand vehicles.
Revenue increased 27% YOY and EBITDA increased 28% YOY, due to increased accounting
revenue. This project is a financial asset where its revenues are equal to costs plus an
accounting margin, according to specific standards (IFRS 15). However, Net Income decreased
185% YOY as a result of higher financial expenses related to debt in USD and COP due to
higher interest rates (Libor and UVR respectively).

Airport results continued to improve during the fourth quarter of 2022, which surpassed both
domestic and international traffic levels for 2019.
9.8 million (+21% YOY) total passengers were reported in 4Q2022, 6.7 million of which were
domestic passengers (+12% YOY) and 3.1 million of which were international (+45% YOY).
Revenues were COP 426 billion (+41% YOY), EBITDA COP 158 billion (+48% YOY), and Net
Income was positive, equal to approximately COP 45 billion (+62% YOY). These results reflect
the airport’s solidity with considerable revenue growth, deriving both from an increasing
number of passengers boarded and from airport tax payments related to route reorganizations
and the commercial strategies of new airlines entering the market, including, JetSmart, Sky
Airline, Volaris, and Plus Ultra with a new Bogota-Madrid route.
Growth is less accelerated in unregulated revenues. However, Duty Free, Food and Beverages,
and commercial premises have made a significant recovery in line with the recovery in airport
traffic, and this is reflected by EBITDA and Net Income.

During the year 2022, 4.3 million passengers on domestic and international flights travelled
through the Mariscal Sucre International Airport. This was a recovery of 86% compared to
2019 traffic (before the Covid-19 pandemic), which was more than 5 million passengers. Total
passengers increased 47% YOY in 4Q2022 compared to the same period the year before,
reaching 1.2 million passengers. There was a positive variation of 58% YOY in domestic
passengers and 35% YOY in international passengers.
Increased Revenue (+29% YOY), Ebitda (+34% YOY), and Net Income (+49% YOY) for the
quarter is due to increased passenger numbers, especially domestic passengers, resulting
from the recovery of internal traffic and the commercial operations of the airport team that
have opened new routes to the country’s interior. During 2022, Quiport paid dividends of USD
144 million (+42% YOY), a clear example of the assets recovery and financial strength.
