Group traffic includes airports operated by Groupe ADP in freehold (incl. Almaty) or under concession, receiving regular commercial passenger traffic, excluding airports under management contract. Historical data since 2019 is available on the company's website

Sales per passenger in the airside activities, including shops, bars & restaurants, foreign exchange & tax refund counters, commercial lounges, VIP reception, advertising and other paid services in the airside area.

Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Groupe ADP, stated:

" Groupe ADP records a good operating and financial performance. Groupe consolidated revenue stood at 2.9 billion euros in the first half of 2024, up +13.5% compared to the first half of 2023. Over the period, we welcomed 170 millions passengers across our airports network, of which 49 million in Paris. Traffic growth recorded this half-year, +9.7% for the group and +4.4% in Paris, is in line with assumptions for 2024. Extime sales per pax is up + 7.1% compared to the first half of 2023, at €31.7, also in line with the 2025 trajectory. Group consolidated EBITDA stood at 943 millions euros, up +9.3%, especially driven by TAV Airports. Advances taken in the first part of the year due to this outperformance abroad should fade over the second half of the year. This summer, seasonal tourism in Paris, expected at a slightly lower level than last year, should be offset by traffic linked to the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The target of EBITDA growth of at least 4% in 2024 is confirmed, as are our other assumptions, forecasts and targets for 2024 and 2025.

Just three days before the opening of the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games, we can be proud of the commitment of Groupe ADP employees, and from the entire airport community, to welcom delegations and spectators in the best possible conditions throughout this historic event. Being the first gateway to the Olympic and Paralympic Games is a great responsibility, and we are up to the task. We are also continuing our transformation with our 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap for the decarbonization and responsible development of our activities, in Paris and abroad.”

Group traffic trend
1st semester 2024 traffic

In the first half of 2024, Group traffic was up +9.7% to 170.2, million passengers. 

At Paris Airport, traffic is up +4.4%, to 49.1 million passengers, or 93.9% of 2019 traffic. The scheduled trial of the 4-Flight air traffic management system by the North en-route air navigation center has led to reductions in flight schedules between 9th January, 2024 and 14th February, 2024, representing around 1,000,000 fewer passengers in the first half of 2024. The switch to the new traffic management system is scheduled for autumn 2024.

2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap  

Actions contributing to the achievement of the 2025 Pioneers objectives are ongoing. The review of the progress of the strategic roadmap, carried out at the end of June 2024, has led to the adjustment of four objectives to to account for certain exogenous factors, such as the pace of change in certain regulatory frameworks, operational constraints linked to air navigation, the pace of renewal of airlines fleets and the absence of market opportunities. The revision made to these four objectives are detailed on page 18 of this press release.

The other targets for 2025 remain unchanged. The revised monitoring table for the 20 objectives of the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap appears on page 19 of this press release.

It should be noted that two indicators are considered to have already been achieved. Indeed, the generalization of continuous descent procedures at Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly has been supported as much as possible by the Groupe ADP within its scope of intervention (indicator 14). Similarly, the remuneration of 100% of employees include ESG criterion (indicator 18) within the limits of local legislation.

Parisian platform
Reopening of infrastructure at Paris-CDG

In order to accommodate passenger traffic flows for the 2024 summer season and accompagny traffic growth at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, terminals 2C and 2A reopened on 28th May 2024, and 2nd July 2024 respectively. These reopenings mean that the Paris infrastructure will be fully open during summer 2024, for the first time since 2018.

During the period when terminals 2C and 2A were closed, the group carried out works to bring baggage sorters in line with the highest airport standards, as well as reinforcing border police reception capacities. Additional PARAFE airlocks have also been installed. Lastly, the passenger area (boarding lounge, electromechanical equipment, signage, etc.) has been modernized.

Voluntary public concertation for "Paris-Orly 2035" project

On 26th February 2024, Groupe ADP launched a voluntary public consultation on the "Paris-Orly 2035" development project for ParisOrly . This consultation, which will enable us to collect the opinions of stakeholders, and in particular of local residents, has ended on 26th May, 2024.

The Paris-Orly 2035 project is the embodiment of the new airport model carried by Groupe ADP's commitments to the environment and to quality of service.

The elements of the project presented, in particular investment amounts, are working hypotheses and are likely to evolve following the consultation as well as during the subsequent environmental authorizations procedures.

Preparing to welcome Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games

As Paris hosts Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games (JOP) from 26th July, Paris Airport is the gateway to the competition for spectators, athletes and delegations. Groupe ADP has deployed significant resources to ensure the best possible experience for all passengers, and a journey adapted to the specificities of Olympic traffic.

A hospitality unit, bringing together our airline partners, the competent government departments and Paris 2024, was set up on 8th July, 2024 in order to coordinate and manage the flows relating to the Olympic Games in real time. It relies on 1,500 Groupe ADP volunteers, who will be deployed in our airports to facilitate passenger flows and operations. 20 field exercises have been carried out to ensure that everyone is prepared and that the system is robust.

As the Olympic delegations' departures will be grouped together within a few days of the closing ceremonies of the Olympic Games, an exceptional system will be deployed: check-in the day before their departure at the Olympic Village, sealed baggage to arrive in dedicated factory baggage at the airport before being placed in the aircraft holds, and finally passage of the athletes through a dedicated boarding lounge.

For all passengers, the smooth flow of their journey will be supported by the testing of faster security scanners, the deployment of

50% more Parafe gates than in summer 2023, enabling automated border control, and a reinforced expected presence of Border Police personnel.

Merger of EPIGO and Extime Food & Beverages Paris

On 8th July 2024, Epigo and Extime Food & Beverage Paris, two companies operating catering services at Paris Aéroport whose capital is held by Aéroports de Paris and Select Service Partner (SSP), merged. Extime Food & Beverage Paris, the acquiring company, will continue to be consolidated by the Groupe ADP using the equity method. The merger will enable the latter to consolidate the operations of over a hundred sales points at Paris Airport.

Strengthening the Extime model with the acquisition of Paris Experience Group

In meeting on 23rd July 2024, the Board of Directors of ADP SA authorized the acquisition of 100% of the share capital of Paris Experience Group and its affiliates, including the funds managed by Ekkio and Montefiore as well as the management team.

This project would extend the value offer of Extime, Groupe ADP's hospitality and retail brand, to tourists visiting Paris. 

Organized around two main brands (Paris City Vision and Paris Seine), Paris Experience Group offers visits to museums and historic monuments, sightseeing tours of Paris and excursions in Île-de-France and neighboring region, lunch and dinner cruises and private events on the Seine.

Paris Experience Group is positioned in a growth market and benefits from solid positions: long-standing links facilitating access to monuments and cultural institutions, strategic locations on the Seine, significant BtoB commercial weight (through hotels, travel agencies, etc.), particularly on certain key markets such as the United States.

In 2023, Paris Experience Group recorded revenue of 89 million euros.

The acquisition of Paris Experience Group is aimed to enhance Extime's value proposition to tourists for the entirety of their stay in Paris.

From a “creator of unique, timeless experiences in the airside areas of Paris airports”, Extime would then become for tourists a “creator of experiences throughout their stay in Paris”.

The operation is expected to close by the first quarter of 2025, subject to approval by the French competition authorities.

International platform
Amman airport concession extended to 2039

On 10th May, 2024, the comprehensive restructuring of the concession and financing of Airport International Group (AIG), the 51%owned company operating Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan, fully consolidated by Groupe ADP, came into effect. The transaction includes:

◆ the concession extension of Amman airport, for an additional 7 years, until November 2039;

◆ a reprofiling of AIG's loans, whose maturity is increased by 3.5 years;

◆ the strengthening of AIG's financial structure, with a shareholder loan.

These agreements support AIG's financial and operational stability and ability to accompany traffic growth in Jordan.

As part of the preparation of the financial statements for the first half of 2024, an impairment test was carried out, taking into account the extension of the concession and the impact of the debt restructuring. It leads to an impairment, determined in particular on the basis of the traffic outlook at Queen Alia International Airport and was booked in the first half of 2024. The one-off impact of this impairment reversal on net income attributable to the group amounts to 61 million euros. In addition, all these agreements will result in a cash outflow for AIG of around 127 million euros, of which around 100 million euros in 2024, with no impact on net income attributable to the group

GIL & GAL merger project progress

The preparation of the merger project between GIL & GAL to form an airport holding company listed on the Indian Stock Exchanges (see press release of March 19th 2023) is ongoing as planned. GMR Airports Infrastructure (GIL) received approval for the transaction from the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) on 11th June, 2024, and the transaction is expected to close in the coming days.

The planned merger will simplify and clarify the capital structure of the airport assets, fully reveal GAL's value and make the merged company a more agile development platform to seize new opportunities in India and Southeast Asia.

It should be noted that the merger will lead to the recognition of a non-cash expense, reflecting on the one hand a change in the economic interest of Groupe ADP (including the settlement of ratchet clauses and a liquidity premium) and on the other hand the integration of the assets of New GIL (excl. GAL), whose net value is negative due primarily to "FCCBs" Convertible Bonds (Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds) issued by GIL and subscribed by ADP on March 25th 2023, valued at their fair value. It is precised that the fair value of the FCCBs, estimated at 1,081 million euros as of June 30th 2024, is primarily correlated to the evolution of GIL's market capitalization.

An estimation of this non-cash expense will be made upon the effective merger, and its definitive amount will be calculated for the financial accounts as of 31 December 2024.

The settlement of the FCCBs, at the time of their occurrence (at the latest in 2033) will lead to the recording of a non-cash income.

It is reminded that, regardless of the amount of the net result group share for 2024, Groupe ADP's distribution policy provides for a dividend of 60% of the net result group share, with a minimum of 3€ per share.

New international terminal in Almaty

On 1st June 2024, Almaty airport in Kazakhstan inaugurated a new international terminal. With a nominal capacity of 7 million passengers, this infrastructure will more than double the airport's capacity to above 14 million passengers and convert the existing terminal into a purely domestic one. The new international terminal features 12 additional gates and 3,200m2 of retail space to offer international passengers a quality duty-free experience.

Quality of service
Recognition of the quality of service provided by Groupe ADP in the Skytrax 2024 ranking

In 2024, 6 airports of the group are among the 100 best airports in the world in terms of service quality according to the Skytrax World Airport Awards.

Paris-Charles de Gaulle retains its position as the best airport in Europe for the 3rd consecutive year and is now the 6th best airport in the world (compared to 5th in 2023 and 6th in 2022). Paris-Orly continues its progression, ranking 30th in the world (compared to 39th in 2023 and 46th in 2022) and is awarded Best regional airport in Europe.

Abroad, 4 other airports in the network are among the 100 best airports: 

◆ Indira Gandhi in Delhi retains the 36th position, and remains the best airport in India and South Asia;

◆ Medina in 50th position (up + 2 ranks) and is nominated best regional airport in Middle East;

◆ Rajiv Gandhi in Hyderabad in 61st position (up +4 ranks); ◆ Goa, which enters the top 100, at 92nd position.

Decarbonization
Groupe ADP increases its support for the deployment of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF) by investing in LanzaJet

As part of its 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap, Groupe ADP is gradually transforming its airports into energy hubs, capable of offering electric power, sustainable aviation fuels and low-carbon hydrogen. 

With regard to sustainable aviation fuels, Groupe ADP intends to help support production and deployment worldwide. 

On 16th May 2024, the Groupe ADP, through its subsidiary ADP International, announced to have achieved a $20 million[1] investment in LanzaJet. LanzaJet, an American SAF producer, benefits from a mature, proven technology that can be deployed on a large scale: the conversion of ethanol5 into fuel.  

This strategic investment is in addition to the actions already undertaken by Groupe ADP to support the industry and accelerate the decarbonization of air transport.

Bond issues
New bond issue

On 7th May 2024, Aéroports de Paris successfully carried out a bond issue, the first since 2020, with a 7-year maturity and for an amount of 500 million euros. The bonds carry interest at a fixed rate of 3.375%.

Bond repayment

On 11th June 2024, Aéroports de Paris repaid the 500 million euros bond issued on 31st May 2012. The bonds carried a fixed interest rate of 3.125%. 

Tax on the exploitation of long-distance transport infrastructures

On 14th March 2024, Aéroports de Paris lodged an appeal with the Conseil d'Etat on grounds of excess of power, with a view to the annulment of decree no. 2024-90 of 8th February 2024, which specifies the procedures for declaring and paying the tax on the operation of long-distance transport infrastructures. 

This appeal was accompanied by a question prioritaire de constitutionnalité (QPC) concerning the provisions of article 100 of law no. 2023-1322 of 29th December 2023 on finance for 2024, which created the tax on the operation of long-distance transport infrastructures.

In a decision of 12th June 2024 (no. 492584), the Conseil d'Etat considered that the arguments raised in support of the QPC were of a new or serious nature within the meaning of article 23-5 of no. 58-1067 of 7th November 1958, the organic law on the Conseil constitutionnel (Constitutionnal Court), and thus referred the QPC to the Conseil constitutionnel. 

This transmission was registered on 12th June 2024 with the General Secretariat under number 2024-1102 QPC. The Conseil constitutionnel has three months from the date of transmission to give its decision. 

A hearing was held at the Conseil constitutionnel on 10th July 2024. At the end of this hearing, the President of the Conseil Constitutionnel indicated that the decision would be given on 12th September 2024.

Group's operating expenses stood at (2,004) million euros in 1st half of 2024, up +15.9% (-€275M), in line with the growth in revenue. The breakdown of the group's operating expenses was as follows:

Consumables stood at (442) million euros, up +10.0% (-€40M), mainly due to:

–       The increase by +10.0% (+€16M) for TAV Airports, especially linked to fuel trading at Almaty;

–       The increase by +14.6% (+€22M) for Extime Duty Free Paris and Extime Travel Essentials Paris (ex. Relay@ADP) due to the increase in cost of goods sold, in line with the increase in revenue of these subsidiaries.

External services stood at (690) million euros, up +15.6% (-€93M), due to:

–       The increase in expenses related to subcontracting of +9.1% (-€26M) especially in security and PRM subcontracting (reception and assistance for Persons with Reduced Mobility), due to the increase in traffic in Paris;

–       the increase in maintenance and repair expenses of +9.6% (-€9M) linked to increased efforts to meet the operational challenges of the traffic recovery and ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games;

–       The increase in expenses related to other services and external expenses by +29.6% (-€57M), mainly due to higher hospitality expenses and growth. This increase is also due to the recognition of expenses relating to the partnership with the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee, amounting to 17 million euros, which are offset by additional revenue, the transaction being therefore neutral on consolidated EBITDA.

Employee benefits costs stood at (587) million euros, up +18.3% (-€91M). This increase is especially due to:  

–          TAV Airports employee benefits costs, up +39.1% (-€56M), due to salary increases in Turkey, driven by inflation, and to a lesser extent by increased headcount;

–          Employee benefits costs at Aéroports de Paris SA, up +11.9% (-€30M), due to :

–          the impact of recruitments in 2023 (+224 FTE[2]);

–          the effect of salaries increases introduced in January 2024.;

Taxes other than income taxes stood at (245)million euros, up +39.2% (-€69M), the -9.3% (+€8M) decrease in property taxes in Paris being more than offset by:

–       The introduction of the tax on the exploitation of long-distance transport infrastructures introduced in the Finance Act for 2024, equal to 4.6% of Aéroports de Paris SA's revenue falling within the scope of VAT, less a deduction of €120 million. The expense recognized in the first half of 2024 in respect of this tax amounts to €64 million; – An increase in taxes on security services of +5.7% (+€14M), linked to traffic growth.  

Other operating expenses stood at (40) million euros, up -29.8% (+€17M).

Other income and expenses represented a net product of 60 million euros, up +27.7% (+€13M) due to a 13 million provision reversal over the period in regard to measures to welcome the Olympic Games in Parisian airports.

Over the 1st semester 2024, the group's consolidated EBITDA stood at 943 million euros, up +9.3% (+€80M). EBITDA margin stood at 32.7% of revenue as of 1st semester 2024, down -1.2 pt. Excluding the impact of the long-distance infrastructure tax, EBITDA margin would stand at 34.9% of revenue, up +1.0pt.

Excluding the impact of one-off items, the group's EBITDA would amount to 941 million euros in 1st half of 2024, compared with 844 million euros in 1st semester 2023, an increase by +11.4% (+€96M). Excluding one-offs, the EBITDA margin would be 32,6% of revenue in 1st semester 2024, down -0.6 point compared to 1st half of 2023. The list of one-off items for 1st semesters of 2023 and 2024, and the calculation of EBITDA excluding one-offs for both semesters, are detailed in Appendix 3 of this release.

Operating income from ordinary activities stood at 681 million euros, up +51.7% (+€232M) driven by higher EBITDA, up +9.3% (+€80M), as well as the decrease in amortization and impairment and the improvement in income from associates and joint ventures, described above.

Operating income stood at 687 million euros, up +54.7% (+€243M), notably due to the increase in operating income from ordinary activities and of other operating income and expenses.

Financial result stood at (79) million euros, down -43.2% (+€60M), especially due to :

◆ foreign exchange gains made during the 1st semester of 2024 for +20 million euros ;

◆ gains on treasury products, for +21 million euros;

◆ the change in fair value, for +10 million euros, of the FCCBs (Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds) and associated options implemented since 2023 as part of the merger project of GIL and GAL[3];

The income tax expense stood at (149) million, compared with a tax expense of (110) million in 1st semester 2023, due to the improvement in pre-tax income.

Cash and investments

As of 30th June, 2024, Groupe ADP held a cash position of 1.9 billion euros down -430 million euros (-18.3%) compared to 31 December 2023. Cash flows from operating activities, amounting to 647 million euros, and 500 million dollars bond issue of 7th May 2024 by Aéroports de Paris, are more than offset by the following transactions:

◆ Payment by Aéroport de Paris on 7th June 2024, on the dividend to its shareholders, for an amount of €3.82 per share, for a total of 377 million euros;

◆ the repayment by Aéroports de Paris, on 11th June 2024, of a 500 million euros bond issue.

◆ a cash outflow of 86 million euros in link to the global restructuring of the concession and financing of Airport International Group (AIG).

In view of its available cash and expected needs for 2024, the group considers its liquidity being satisfactory, in the current macroeconomic context to meet its operating needs and financial commitments.

Tangible and intangible investments stood at 471 million euros over the 1st semester 2024, (including 337 million euros for ADP SA), compared with 353 million euros in 1st semester 2023 (including 230 million euros for ADP SA).

The main investment projects completed and ongoing in the first half of 2024 are :

◆ the rehabilitation and EASA compliance of runway 1 and associated taxiways ;

◆ the project to extend the existing discharge pipe between the Renardières basin and the Réneuse River for 9.4 km to the Marne River;

◆ the installation of a deep geothermal power plant associated with the Paris-CDG thermal refrigeration and energy plant.

Financial debt

Groupe ADP's net financial debt stood at €8,571 million euros as 30 June 2024, compared to 7,934 million euros as of 31 December 2023. As of 30 June 2024, debt ratio stood at 4.2x EBITDA, compared to 4.1x EBITDA at the end of 2023.

It is specified that financial debt takes into account the derivatives on the convertible bonds (FCCBs - Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds) subscribed by the Group in March 2023 as part of the planned merger between GIL and GAL:

◆ the call option held by GMR-E (derivative liability), enabling it to purchase the FCCBs at any time;

◆ the put option held by ADP (derivative asset), enabling the Group to sell the FCCBs to GMR-E, or to a third party designated by GMR-E.

The fair values of the call and put options were 714 million euros and 5 million euros respectively as of 30 June 2024 (compared with 555 million euros and 23 million euros respectively as of 31 December 2023).

Excluding the fair value of these derivatives, which will be settled at the same time as repayment of the FCCBs (nominal + interest), net financial debt would amount to 7,862 million euros as of 30 June 2024, or 3.9x EBITDA over the last 12 months (compared with 7,403 million euros as of 31 December 2023 and 3.8x EBITDA 2023).

Over the 1st semester 2024, revenue of aviation segment, which relates solely to the airport activities carried out by Aéroports de Paris as operator of the Parisian platforms, was up +5.4% (+€50M) to 969 million euros.

Revenue from airport fees (passenger fees, landing fees and aircraft parking fees) was up +6.4% (+€35M), to 578 million euros due to the growth in traffic and the +4.5% average increase in fee rates since 1st April 2024. It includes:

◆ revenue from passengers fees, up +8.5% (+€29M)due to the increase in passenger traffic (+4.4%) as well as the increase of the international share of traffic (see geographical breakdown traffic on page 16);  

◆ revenue from landing fees, up +4.1% (+€5M) due to the increase in aircraft movements (+1.7%);  ◆ revenue from parking fees up +1.2% (+€1M) .

Revenue from ancillary fees (ancillary fees and PHMR assistance fees) is up +7.6% (+€9M), to 128 million euros, linked traffic growth and incresed fees.

As a reminder, the tariffs applicable for the Parisian platforms are presented on the company's website, and their changes for the tariff periods starting 1st April 2023 and 1st April 2024 respectively are presented in Appendix 4 of this press release.

Revenue from airport safety and security services was up +5.9% (+€14M), to 252 million euros. Revenue from operating safety and security services being determined by the costs of these activities, revenue is growing at a different rate than passenger traffic.

Other income, mostly consisting in re-invoicing to the French Air Navigation Services Division of leasing for the use of terminals and other work services made for third parties are down -42.1% (-€8M), to 11 million euros. This variation is explained by the reclassification, for 12 million euros of the revenue of part of the in-terminal rental activities, now recorded in rental income, within the Retail and Services segment.

EBITDA is down -2.2% (-€5M) to 219 million euros, the tax on the operation of long-distance transport infrastructures being only partially offset by the increase in aeronautical charges applied since 1st April 2024.

Operating income from ordinary activities was down -40.5% (-€15M), to 22 million euros over the 1st semester 2024.

Over the 1st half of 2024, Retail and services segment revenue, which includes only Parisian activities was up +13.0% (+€106M), to 924 million euros.

Revenue from retail activities consists in revenue received from airside and landside shops, bars and restaurants, banking and foreign exchange activities, and car rental companies, as well as revenue from advertising. Over 1st semester 2024, revenue from retail activities was up +11.8% (+€61M), to 576 million euros, due to:  

◆ the increase of revenue from Extime Duty Free Paris, up +11.0% (+€38M), to 382 million euros driven by the increase in attendance and the number of outlets opened ;

◆ the increase of revenue from Extime Travel Essentials up +57.7% (+€30M), driven by the increase in attendance and a change in the method of accounting for revenue from 1st February 2024 (see Appendix 5 of this press release). With a constant accounting method (i.e., applying this accounting method to 2023 financial figures), Extime Travel Essentials revenue growth would be +11.1% (+8 M€);

◆ the increase of revenue from Other Shops and Bars and restaurants, down -20.5% (-€16M), to 62 million euros. This decrease is due to the change in consolidation method for Extime Food & Beverage Paris, which was fully consolidated in the Group's consolidated financial statements until October 2023, and accounted under the equity method since (see Appendix 5 of this press release). At constant scope (i.e. excluding revenue from Extime Food & Beverage Paris in 2023), revenue from Other Shops and Bars & Restaurants revenue growth xould be +12.2% (+€7M);  

◆ the increase of revenue from advertising, up +35.0% (+€7M), to 27 million euros driven by the increase in attendance.

On a like-for-like basis (i.e., excluding the above-mentioned changes in accounting method and consolidation scope), revenue from commercial activities up +11.9% (+€61M). It should be noted that these changes have broadly no impact on consolidated EBITDA.

Revenue from car parks was up +6.0% (+€5M), to 88 million euros, linked to the increase in passengers traffic.

Revenue from industrial services (supply of electricity and water) was up +1.0% (+€1M), to 106 million euros.

Rental revenue (leasing of spaces within terminals) was up +25.3% (+€20M), to 99 million euros. This increase is partly explained by the recovery of activity, as well as the reclassification, for 12 million euros of the revenue of part of in-terminal rental activities, previously recognized within Other income of the Aeronautical Activities segment.

Other revenue (primarily constituted of internal services) was up +43.2% (+€16M), to 53 million euros mainly due to revenue from the partnership with the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee, which are offset by additional expenses, the operation having no impact on consolidated EBITDA.

EBITDA down -1.2% (-€4M), to 341 million euros. This decrease is due, on the one hand, to an unfavorable base effect linked to the one-off proceeds from the selling of excess electricity capacity in the first half of 2023, and, on the other hand, to the introduction of the tax on the operation of long-distance transport infrastructures in 2024. Excluding these two effects, which total 38 million euros, EBITDA for the segment would be up +11.4%.

As a result of the decrease in EBITDA, operating income from ordinary activities was down -0.4% (-€1M), to 275 million euros.

Over the 1st semester 2024, revenue from the International and airport developments segment up +24.5% (+€174M), to 883 million euros, due to :

◆ Revenue from TAV Airports' was up 31.2%, (+€174M) to 732 million euros, mainly due to the effect of the traffic increase of +17.3% of TAV Airports passenger traffic and price increases for services delivered. Revenue growth is driven in particular by :

◆ International assets of TAV Airports, especially in Almaty, for +18.0% (+€35M), in Georgia, for +31.6% (+14€M) and in Tunisia for +40.3% (+€5M);

◆ Turkish assets of TAV Airports, especially in Ankara, for 71.5% (+€15M) and Izmir, for +19.4% (+€7M);

◆ Services companies of TAV Airports, especially Havas (ground handling), for +25.9 (+€26M), BTA (airport catering) for +25.7% (+€15M) and TAV OS (airport lounges) for +85.2% (+€37M). TAV OS revenue growth is notably supported by the scope effect of the 100% acquisition, in Q1 2024, of Paris Lounge Network, operator of airport lounges in Paris, whose accounts are now fully consolidated. Excluding this acquisition, TAV OS revenue would be up +48.2% (+€21M).

◆ Revenue from AIG is stable at 126 million euros. The decrease in aeronautical revenue, linked to the decrease in traffic in Amman (-4.6%) was offset by the resilience of commercial and rental activities.

◆ Revenue from ADP Ingénierie up +140.0% (+€7M) to 12 million euros, due to contracts taking effect during the first half of 2024.

EBITDA of segment was up 44.9% (+€75M), to 242 million euros, of which:

TAV Airports' EBITDA was up +46.9% (+€68M) at 213 million euros;

AIG's EBITDA was up +26.0% (+€9M) to 43 million euros, with stable revenue offset by tight control of current expenses.

Share of profit or loss in associates and joint ventures stood at 1 million euros, up +€23M, especially due to the improvement in income attributable to GMR Airports, up +30 million euros, linked to a provision reversal following a favorable arbitration decision.

Operating income from ordinary activities of the segment stood at 282 million euros, up +€237 M, especially due to :  

◆ the provision reversal, relating to AIG, for +152 million euros, linked to the extension of Amman airport concession until 2039.

◆ EBITDA growth of +€75M to 242 million euros.

Traffic assumptions, forecasts and targets 2024-2025

As part of the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap communicated on 16th February, 2022, Groupe ADP has set out targets up to 2025. These targets have been built on the assumptions of no new restrictions or airport closures linked to the health crisis, of a stability of the economic model in Paris and of an absence of abnormally high volatility in terms of exchange rates and inflation rates. They have also been built on the basis of the consolidation scope at the end of 2023, with no assumption of changes up to 2025.

Approaching its 2019 traffic level in Paris and exceeding it internationally, while having already surpassed its 2019 consolidated EBITDA, the group expects to gradually return to growth rates close to those experienced before the Covid-19 crisis. In addition, the introduction of the new tax applicable to major transport infrastructure in France has an impact on the group's financial trajectory. For these reasons, Groupe ADP is updating on 14th February (see press release) its assumptions, forecasts and targets 2024 - 2025 and is returning to a selection of indicators allowing for a direct reading of the evolution of its performance, without reference to 2019. 

It is specified that any further changes to the assumptions on which the group's targets are based could have an impact on the volume of traffic and the 2025 Pioneers financial indicators.

Follow up of the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap indicators

Outlook for achieving and revising the scope of certain objectives set for 2025

In assessing the progress of its 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap to the end of June 2024, Groupe ADP noted the need to adjust four objectives in order to make them compatible with certain exogenous factors, such as: operational constraints linked to air navigation, the speed of the speed of renewal of airline fleets or the absence of market opportunities. The adjusted objectives set demanding new targets in the light of the aforementioned context, and reaffirm Groupe ADP's determination and commitment to achieve ambitious results. They are detailed below.

Other targets for 2025 remain unchanged. 

It should be noted that two indicators are considered to have already been achieved. Within the limits of its scope of intervention,

Groupe ADP provided as much support as possible to the generalization of continuous descent procedures at Paris-CDG and ParisOrly (indicator 14). Similarly, a ESG criterion included in the remuneration of 100% of employees within the limits of local legislation (indicator 18).

KPI 1 - INITIAL

Make more than 80% of flights depart on time or within 15 minutes of the scheduled time 

image

Comments

image

Groupe ADP is working with all its partners to significantly improve flight punctuality across the perimeter. 

However, this improvement will be slower at Paris airports due to significant external factors, such as :

◆ the modernization of air traffic control, which is leading to capacity reductions during the testing and appropriation phases of the new systems;

◆ the saturation of the European air network (due to the capacity of certain control centers to cope with demand, and the geopolitical context adding pressure to the network) ;

◆ or the implementation of the new European Entry Exit System regulation on border control, which will have an impact on the punctuality of European airports.  

The target has been revised to take account of this new context.

KPI 1 - REVISED

Make that 65% of flights depart on time or within 15 minutes of the scheduled time

image

KPI 2 - INITIAL 

Reduce average taxiing emissions per flight by 10% at Paris-Orly and Paris-CDG

image

Comments

image

The Groupe ADP has noted significant improvements in emissions per aircraft category movement (wide-body and medium-body airliners), thanks in particular to the renewal of fleets by airlines and the practice of taxiing with one engine less. Groupe ADP is working with its partners to take these measures even further and make them more widespread. 

Nevertheless, to take better account of average aircraft size increase, the KPI 2 target has been revised.

KPI 2 - REVISED

Reduce average taxiing emissions per flight by 7% at Paris-Orly and Paris-CDG

image

KPI 4 - INITIAL

Provide 50% of passengers at Paris-Orly and Paris-CDG with biometric facilitation for their departure journey 

image

Comments

image

After the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés(CNIL) approached the European authorities about the interpretation of the General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR) and the possibility of using biometrics for facilitation purposes at the airport, it appeared to the group that the regulatory context required clarification and exchanges between national authorities.

In this regulatory context, only the border can offer biometric facilitation, thanks to the deployment of PARAFEs, in order to reduce waiting times. Groupe ADP has endeavored to ensure that as many international passengers as possible benefit from this, by installing PARAFE equipment and mobilizing stakeholders to increase its availability and eligibility.

As a result, the Group has decided to limit the KPI4 target to the border perimeter, in order to enable as many people as possible to benefit from this equipment, and thus improve the customer experience at its airports.

KPI 4 - REVISED

Provide 50% of international passengers at Paris-Orly and Paris-CDG with biometric facilitation in their departure journey

 

image 

KPI 6 - INITIAL

Deploy the Extime retail and hospitality concept in Paris and begin rolling out the franchise in two terminals outside the Parisian platforms

 

image

 Comments

image

The Extime retail and hospitality concept is deployed at Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly. 

However, the ability to internationalize the Extime concept can only be envisaged when concessions are renewed, which is why the objective has been revised. 

KPI 6 - REVISED

Deploy the Extime Retail and Hospitality concept in Paris and initiate the deployment of the franchise in two terminals outside the Parisian platforms

Appendix 4              Evolution of tariffs at Paris Aéroport 

image

By its decision n°2024-001 of January 18th, 2024, published on February 12th, 2024, the ART has approved the airport fees for Aéroports de Paris for the tariff period from April 1st, 2024, to March 31st, 2025. The approved proposal translates into an average tariff increase by +4.5% for Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports, mainly driven by passenger-based charges. The changes are differentiated by fee, with an average increase by +6.7% in the fee per passenger, an average increase by +1.5% in the landing fee, and an average decrease by -0.3% in the parking fee.

For Paris-Le Bourget airport, the average increase in fees is around +5.4%, resulting from a +5% increase in landing fees, a change in the noise modulation coefficients for group 6 aircraft applicable to this same fee, a +5.4% increase in parking fees, and a +1.5% increase in fees for the provision of airport circulation permits.

Aéroports de Paris's proposal included initial changes in cost accounting, for which ART invited Aéroports de Paris to complete its analyses by the end of the transitional period on December 31, 2025. In addition, the ART confirmed that the part of the longdistance transport infrastructure tax, created by the finance law for 2024, that was included in Aéroports de Paris' tariff proposal could indeed be covered by airport fees. Lastly, in its tariff approval decision, ART specified that it had estimated the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) at 4.5% for the regulated scope.

Please note that the applicable fees are available on the company's website.

Appendix 5 Impact of the change in consolidation method for Extime Food & Beverage Paris and recognition of Extime Travel Essentials revenue on Groupe ADP's consolidated financial statements

image 

As a reminder, the financial statements of Extime Food & Beverage Paris, which were fully consolidated until Select Service Partner acquired a 50% stake in the company in October 2023, have since been accounted for using the equity method.

Since the launch of Extime Travel Essentials Paris, the new contract with Lagardère Travel Retail, the company's 50% co-shareholder, has led to a change in the revenue recognition method since 1 February 2024. As of this date, the Groupe ADP consolidated financial statements include all Extime Travel Essentials Paris revenue and expenses, compared with revenue and expenses net of direct costs previously.

To enable comparisons to be made between the 2024 and 2023 financial years, the following figures are presented below: 

1. A summary of the Group ADP's consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2023;

2. The impact on the Group ADP's consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2023, assuming that the financial statements of Extime Food & Beverage Paris had been accounted for Aéroports de Paris using the equity method for the full year, i.e. using the same consolidation method as that applied in 2024.

3. The impact on the Group ADP consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2023, assuming that the method used to recognize Extime Travel Essentials (ex-Relay@ADP) revenue and expenses is the same as that applied since 1 February 2024.

4. A summary (unaudited) of the Group ADP consolidated financial statements for the first half of 2023, taking into account the two aforementioned impacts.
