Third Quarter 2016 Unaudited Results
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 28, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Empresas ICA, S.A.B. de C.V.
(BMV:ICA), announced today its unaudited results for the third quarter of 2016,
which have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting
Standards. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company suspended the sale of
its social infrastructure projects. Accordingly, these projects are no longer
classified as available for sale. ICA is no longer consolidating San Martín,
effective on the fourth quarter of 2015. In addition, ICA is no longer
consolidating Facchina as of the third quarter of 2016 and has been presented as
a discontinued operation. Financial statements from prior periods have been
restated for comparability to reflect the sale suspension of social
infrastructure projects and the deconsolidation of Facchina.
* 3Q16 Airports and Concessions segments grew 29% and 2%, respectively versus
3Q15.
* Construction Revenues decreased 71% in 3Q16 versus 3Q15 as a result of our
foreign exit strategy, including Facchina, and the completion of Mexican
projects, principally urban construction works.
* Ps. 4,531 million net loss generated principally as a result of the effect
of a Ps. 2,090 million foreign exchange conversion loss, and the recognition
of equity value loss in Facchina, as a result of our foreign exit strategy.
* Comprehensive backlog was Ps. 52,776 million at September 30th, 2016, of
which Ps. 29,360 million corresponds to ICA's participation in non-
consolidated affiliates and joint ventures.
* The company continues to focus on its operating restructuring process as
well as preparing to initiate a negotiation with its debt-holders that will
allow for the conclusion of its financial restructure.

Third quarter Consolidated Revenues decreased 35% to Ps. 5,060 million from Ps.
7,739 million in 3Q15. This reduction was principally the result of the slow-
down in Construction Revenues caused by the foreign exit strategy and the
completion of urban construction works. 3Q16 Construction Revenues are
stabilized compared to 1Q16.
Third quarter Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA went to Ps. 1,224 million and 24.2%
margin from Ps. 1,713 million and 22.1% margin in 3Q15. For the 9-month
accumulated period, EBITDA margin increased to 25.3% in 2016 from 23.0% in
2015. This margin increase was the result of Concessions and Airport segments
growth and a reduction in general expenses.
The Consolidated Net loss was Ps. 4,531 million in 3Q16. The foreign exchange
conversion loss was Ps. 2,090 million in 3Q16 and Ps. 3,920 million for the 9-
month accumulated period. Third quarter loss per share was Ps. 8.13 (US$ 1.66
per ADS).
Liquidity and Debt
Total consolidated debt decreased 4% to Ps. 65,005 million at September
30, 2016, as compared to Ps. 67,617 million at December 31, 2015. The decrease
was principally the result of loan payments made in 1Q16 to Santander, Deutsche
Bank, Barclays, and Value that were secured by the pledge of OMA B shares,
payment of a working capital line to BBVA Bancomer, and scheduled amortizations
of debt of operating projects from December 31, 2015 to September 30, 2016.
Total cash dropped 12% to Ps. 8,186 million at September 30, 2016 from Ps.
9,258 million at December 31, 2015. This total cash reduction was generated in
the Concessions and Construction segments to boost production in major projects
such as Palmillas - Apaseo El Grande toll road.
Ps. 4,574 million of total cash is restricted and Ps. 3,612 is unrestricted. Ps.
2,736 million of non-restricted cash is in OMA. On November 2016, as means of
preparing the execution of new projects including the new NAICM terminal
foundation slab project, ICA Promotora de Infraestructura (ICAPI) and
Controladora de Operaciones de Infraestructura (CONOISA) disbursed the first
tranch of the Fintech convertible loan.

joint ventures backlog, decreased 18% to Ps. 52,776 million at September
30, 2016 from 64,543 million at December 31, 2015, principally due to the
foreign exit strategy, execution of construction work in Mexico and the
deconsolidation of Facchina.
Civil Construction Backlog decreased 28% to Ps. 23,416 million at September
30, 2016 from Ps. 32,380 million at December 31, 2015, principally due to the
foreign exit strategy and the completion of construction works in Mexico.
ICA's share of unconsolidated affiliates and joint ventures backlog (mainly ICA
Fluor) decreased 9% to 29,360 million at September 30, 2016 from Ps. 32,163
million at December 31, 2015 due to construction works execution during this
period.
Reduction in Costs and Expenses
Technical-administrative workforce has been reduced by 51% to 1,773 as of
September 30, 2016 from 3,619 as of December 31, 2015.
