Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you explain the non-recurring impacts on FX and interest rates, and how they affect Bolsa's earnings? A: The non-recurring impacts are related to the conversion from the old reference rate to the new one, which had a MXN10 million impact in ASIGNA. For every MXN1 fluctuation in the exchange rate, we expect a MXN50 million to MXN60 million impact on EBITDA annually. This remains valid.
