Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO, stated:
"The 1st half of 2021 was marked by a resurgence of the pandemic. It affected all aviation and retail activities from January to May, with a recovery starting mid-May, whereas the year 2020 was only impacted from March onwards. As a result, Groupe ADP's traffic fell by -26.6% compared to the 1st half of 2020, with a total of 48.8 million passengers, or 29.7% of the 1st half of 2019 traffic. Over the same period, Paris Aéroport traffic was down by -45.7%, with 10.7 million passengers, or 20.5% of the 1st half of 2019 traffic. Consolidated revenue was down by -15.3% in the 1st half of 2021, at 989 million euros. EBITDA is positive at 155 million euros thanks to punctual gains related to the return to full ownership of some buildings on the Parisian platforms and to favorable base effects compared to the 1st half of 2020. The net result attributable to the group stood at -172 million euros, increasing, mainly due to the base effect related to the impairments recorded in the 1st half of 2020. Groupe ADP is pursuing its efforts aiming at stabilizing its financial situation and maintains a satisfying cash position. Even though our traffic technical forecasts are at the lower end of the 2021 assumptions as published at the 2020 Full-year results presentation, the group is cautious and revises its guidances given the uncertain evolution of the health situation. Therefore, the range is now between 30% and 40% of the 2019 traffic for Paris Aéroport, and between 40% and 50% of the 2019 traffic for Groupe ADP. As a consequence, the EBITDA/Group revenue ratio forecast for 2021 has been revised down from a range of 18%-23% to 15%-20%. The guidance of a net financial debt/EBITDA ratio between 6x and 7x by the end of 2022 is confirmed."
Update on the situation related to the Covid-19 pandemic
Since the sudden half of air transport in the spring of 2020, the recovery of traffic in France and abroad has followed the evolution of mobility restriction measures applicable in each country (lockdowns, quarantines, border closures, etc.) in relation with the evolution of the pandemic and in particular the spread of new Covid-19 variants.
Over the 1st half of 2021, Groupe ADP6 passenger traffic is down by -26.6% compared to the same period over 2020, at 48.8 million of passengers, standing at 29.7% of the 1st half of 2019 group traffic.
Over the 1st half of 2021, Paris Aéroport passenger traffic is down by -45.7% compared to the 1st half of 2020, at 10.7 million of passengers, standing at 20.5% of the 1st half of 2019 Paris Aéroport traffic. Aircraft movements at Paris Aéroport are down by -21.1% over the 1st half of 2021 compared to the same period over 2020. At Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly, the platforms are adapting their infrastructures by closing or opening terminals according to the evolution of commercial passenger traffic.
Regarding Groupe ADP's international platforms, most airports are open to commercial flights. However, following the resurgence of the pandemic in March 2021, some countries have tightened travel restrictions (see page 12 for details). In India, traffic at the GMR Airports group platforms of the have been impacted by the resurgence of the pandemic over the spring 2021.
- Social situation in Paris
Partial activity at Aéroports de Paris SA, consequence of the decline in activity and the closure of infrastructures, introduced on 23 March 2020, has been extended until 30 June 2021. 87% of ADP's employees have been affected by the partial activity over the 1st half of 2021 causing a decline in operating expenses of 45 million euros.
Aéroports de Paris SA has concluded with all the representative trade unions a collective mutually agreed termination agreement (RCC). This agreement, approved by the regional office of enterprise, competition, consumption, labour and employment (DIRECCTE) on 17 December 2020, sets at 1,150 the maximum number of voluntary departures, of which 700 will not be replaced. The first departures have occurred at the end of March 2021, and at the end of June 2021 around 900 employees have left the company. At the end of December 2021, the maximum number of departures will be reached. They will have for Aéroports de Paris SA a structural effect of reduced group expenses estimated at 35 million euros in 2021 and 60 million euros on a full year basis.
Moreover, the adjustment plan for employment contracts (PACT) and standards applicable to the employees of Aéroports de Paris was subject to a consultation by the Social and Economic Committee on 21 May 2021 and has been approved by the interdepartmental regional office of the economy, employment, labour and solidarity (DRIEETS) on 23 June 2021. This plan, which does not aim at reducing the headcount, provides for salary moderation measures starting in September 2021, accompanied by a guarantee limiting the decrease in compensation, preserving the main elements of compensation (base salary, seniority, salary progression and benefits). An agreement signed with most of the representative trade unions on July 13th, 2021 allows to precise the implementation modalities of this plan.
Finally, an information and consultation process with the Social and Economic Committee with a view to reshaping the organization has furthermore been initiated in May 2021. This project aims at adapting the organization of Aéroports de Paris SA to the lasting decline of the activity, to the evolution of the company as well as to the reduction of the workforce following the application of the collective mutually agreed termination agreement. It should allow to secure operational continuity, preserve skills, and support the RCC while respecting employment commitments and meeting the group's challenges by strengthening its integration, agility, efficiency and sustainability.
- Situation abroad
Due to the decline in traffic caused by the Covid-19 pandemic and its unfavorable economic consequences, for some of the group's international assets, discussions had to be opened with the stakeholders involved (conceding authorities, banks) with the aim of maintaining financial and operational viability, in particular by requesting concession term extensions.
Furthermore, regarding TAV Airports, two-year concession extensions were obtained on 15 February 2021 for the airports of Ankara, Antalya, Bodrum, Gazipasa and Izmir, while the concession fees for these airports due for 2022 will be settled in 2024. As scheduled, TAV Airports has received on 16 February 2021 the payment by the Turkish State Airport Authority (DHMI) of the remaining of the receivable related to the compensation due as a result of the early closure of Atatürk for an amount of 196 million euros. In addition to this, regarding Tunisia, a restructuring arrangement has been signed between TAV Tunisia and its group of lenders in order to modify the financing conditions of the subsidiary company. TAV Airports recorded a net gain of 110 million euros as a result of the restructuring, with a positive impact on the financial result. Finally, restructurings in several TAV Airports' concessions are still underway (refinancing, capital increase…).
Regarding GMR airports, the Delhi High Court has granted Delhi Airport the right to suspend the payment of concession fees on an interim basis until an arbitration court rules on the matter.
Due to the deterioration of the traffic projection curve at Santiago de Chile airport, the shareholders have engaged discussions with the Chilean authorities in order to restore the economic balance of the project. In parallel Santiago Airport is engaging with its lenders in order to restructure its debt payment obligations.
Airport International Group (AIG), concessionary company of Amman airport in Jordan, is performing active discussions with its grantor to accomplish the economic and financial rebalance of the concession, including the negotiation for an extension of its term. A restructuration of the debt obligations towards the lenders is conducted in parallel.
In Madagascar, the discussions are ongoing with lenders to amend and extend certain conditions of project company loans.
As a result, Groupe ADP may have to provide financial support to these airport management companies in which it is a shareholder. This support is estimated, globally, at a maximum of 80 million euros in the context of restructuring discussions between now and the end of the current fiscal year.
The financing contracts regarding the concessions operated mainly by AIG, TAV Esenboga, TAV Macedonia, TAV Milas Bodrum, TAV Ege, TAV Tunisia and HAVAS, include early repayment clauses in the event of failure to comply with certain financial ratios. In the event of a persistent non-compliance, the lenders may impose conditions of default which may result in limited or no recourse regarding the shareholders. As a reminder, contracts with such covenants amount to 11.1% of the group's total debt on 30 June 2021. To date, either the early repayment clauses in the event of failure to comply with certain financial ratios have been respected by the airport management companies, otherwise the lenders have agreed to refrain from exercising their rights, with the exception of AIG. In the case of AIG, a dialogue is ongoing with the lenders.
- Solid financial structure and strengthened liquidity
Groupe ADP had a cash position of 2.8 billion euros as of 30 June 2021, of which 0.2 billion euros was held by TAV Airports.
Given its available cash, the group does not anticipate any liquidity difficulties with regard to its forecasts for the next 12 months. This cash position enables it both to meet its current needs and its financial commitments mainly including the repayment of a bond debt for ADP SA in July 2021 for 400 million euros and to dispose of significant liquidities in the current exceptional health and economic context.
Given the confidence of the investors in the strength of its financial model and its long-term credit rating (A, negative outlook by the Standard and Poor's agency since 25 March 2020), Groupe ADP ensures that, in the event of a significant deterioration in the economic and health situation, it would be in a position to meet its commitments and resort to additional financing.
- Trends for the group
To date, the traffic assumption for Groupe ADP in 2021 has been revised downwards, between 40% and 50% of the 2019 group traffic7 (compared to 45% and 55% previously) and the traffic assumption for Paris Aéroport between 30% and 40% of the 2019 Paris Aéroport traffic8 (compared to 35% to 45% previously).
Under these conditions, the EBITDA/group revenue ratio is also revised downwards and is expected to stand between 15% and 20% in 2021 (compared to 18% to 23% previously).
The amount of structural savings in Paris is in the range of 100 to 150 million euros per year.
The annual regulated / non-regulated investments in Paris (excluding financial investment) for the 2021-2022 period are estimated between €500 and €550 million per year (vs. €500 and €600 million previously). The investments are estimated between €650 and €750 million per year for the 2023-2024 period.
Regarding the financial debt, Groupe ADP confirms the guidance9 of a net financial debt/EBITDA ratio between 6x and 7x by the end of 2022.
Moreover, the group confirms that Paris Aéroport traffic may return to the level reached in 2019 between 2024 and 2027. In this context, the traffic would stand at 65%-75% of the 2019 level in 2022, at 75%-85% of the 2019 level in 2023, and at 90% of the 2019 level in 2024.

Groupe ADP's consolidated revenue stood at 989 million euros over the 1st half of 2021, down by -179 million euros, due to the decline in traffic resulting from the crisis linked to the Covid-19 and more specifically to:
- the decline by -32.0% in revenue from airport and ancillary fees in Paris Aéroport, for respectively -31.4% (-€75 million) and -34.5% (-€19 million);
- the decline by -39.8% in revenue from retail activities in Paris Aéroport (-€76 million).
The effects are partially offset by the growth by +9,0% in revenue from TAV Airports (+€13 million) related to the integration of the revenue from the management company of Almaty airport from 1st May 2021 onwards10, for +€19 million.
The amount of inter-sector eliminations stood at -€122 million over the 1st half of 2021, compared to -€125 million over the 1st half of 2020.

Group operating expenses stood at -994 million euros over the 1st half of 2021, down by -89 million. The savings in operating expenses related to the closure of infrastructure in Paris were about 50 million euros over the 1st half of 2021. The savings related to the partial activity measures resulting from the decline in activity at ADP SA were of 45 million euros, 12 million euros at TAV Airports' level and 17 million euros for Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire.
The distribution of the group's operating expenses was as follows:
- Consumables were slightly down by -2 million euros and stood at -135 million euros, of which in particular:
- a decline of -25 million euros in the retail subsidiaries (Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire and Relay@ADP) resulting from the mechanical effect of lower costs in line with the decline in revenue;
- an increase of +11 million euros for Hub One, related to its revenue increase;
- and a +9 million euros for TAV Airports, of which +8 million euros related to the integration of the management company of Almaty airport into ADP's accounts from 1st May 2021, onwards.
- Expenses related to external services were down by -27 million euros and stood at -328 million euros, mainly due to a -34 million euros decline in subcontracting and other external services and charges, mainly linked to the decline in traffic and the closure of infrastructures. This decline was partly offset by the +7 million euros increase in upkeep and repair, notably related to the reopening of some terminals in Paris and at TAV Airports in order to accompany the traffic's gradual recovery.
- Employee benefit costs were down by -30 million euros and stood at -344 million euros, mainly due to the continuation of partial activity at ADP SA (-45 million euros) as well as other similar measures at the international level (including -12 million euros at TAV Airports) and in the retail subsidiaries.
In France, the group's companies resorted to partial activity over the 1st half of 2021.

In the foreign subsidiaries, the support measures for the decline in activity have been adapted in accordance with regulatory requirements as well as local government measures.

- Other operating expenses were up by +13 million euros and stood at -32 million euros, due to losses on bad debts, mainly related to the bankruptcy of Aigle Azur in 2019.
Other income and expenses represented a net product of +159 million euros, up by +206 million euros over the 1st half of 2021, due to:
- lesser impairments of receivables, at +13 million euros, due to the favorable base effect compared to the recorded impairments of receivables for 63 million euros over the 1st half of 2020, as well as the reversal of some provisions (mainly Aigle Azur receivables) over the 1st half of 2021;
- the increase of other operating income at +125 million euros, following punctual gains related to the return to full ownership of some buildings on the Parisian platforms (€117 million).

Besides, the cost of gross debt has increased by +42 million euros.

Revenue from retail activities14 consists in rents 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 the 1st half of 2021, revenue from retail activities stood at 115 million euros.
As a reminder, this figure takes into account the full consolidation of Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire which revenue stood at 84 million euros, down by -52 million euros, and of Relay@ADP which revenue stood at 8 million euros, down by -5 million euros.
Sales/Pax15 of airside shops has increased to 23.3 euros over the 1st half of 2021: it was thus up by +17.7% compared to the 1st half of 2020 despite the closure of non-essential businesses between March 20th and May 19th, 2021. Over the same period, the Sales/Pax at terminal 2EK of Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport stood at 58.0 euros, up by +31.3% compared to the 1st half of 2020, reassuring Groupe ADP in the effectiveness of its retail business model.

Revenue from industrial services (supply of electricity and water) was up by +18.3%, at 68 million euros.
Rental revenues (leasing of spaces within terminals) were slightly down by -2.2%, at 58 million euros.
Other revenues (primarily constituted of internal services) were down by -8.1%, at 17 million euros.
EBITDA of the segment was down by -16 million euros, at 26 million euros. The decline in revenue is partially offset by the growth in EBITDA from Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire and Relay@ADP for +6 million euros as well as a favorable base effect of the accounting of receivables depreciations over the 1st half of 2020 for +7 million euros.
Operating income from ordinary activities was nevertheless up by +54 million euros, at -49 million euros, mainly due to the favorable base effect due to the absence of impairments over the 1st half of 2021 compared to the impairment of intangible assets related to Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire for 51 million euros over the 1st half of 2020.

External revenue16 was slightly down by -3.9% at 121 million euros.
EBITDA of the segment was up by +143 million euros, at 206 million euros, mainly due to punctual gains related to the return to full ownership of some buildings on the Parisian platforms for 117 million euros and to the favorable base effect related to the accounting of receivables depreciations for 23 million euros over the 1st half of 2020.
Operating income from ordinary activities was up by +141 million euros, at 178 million euros.

(2) Groupe ADP has accounted the results of the GMR Airports group using the equity method at 24.99% between March and June 2020 and at 49% from July 2020 (on the stake acquisition in GMR Airports, see the press releases of 20 and 26 February, and 7 July 2020).
(3) The difference between H1 2021 and H1 2020 data is due to a rounding.Over the 1st half of 2021, revenue from International and airport developments stood at 221 million euros, slightly down by -1.6% compared to 2020, mainly due to the decline in revenue of ADP Ingénierie by -12 million euros, at 13 million euros. Groupe ADP has finalized an information and consultation process of ADP Ingénierie's employee representative bodies and has launched a draft job protection plan (PSE) related to the project of amicable closure of the company. Moreover, the group intends to maintain an engineering activity for international third parties, regrouped around ADP International.
AIG's revenue remains stable at 47 million euros, despite the decline in passenger fees for -7 million euros related to the decline in traffic recorded in Amman (-20.9%), mainly due to the increase of non-airport activities revenues, mainly rental income, for 7 million euros.
TAV Airports' revenue is up by +13 million euros, to 154 million euros, due to the integration in the group's accounts of the management company of Almaty airport in Kazakhstan17 as of May 1st, 2021. Excluding the integration of Almaty, TAV Airports' revenue would be down by -5 million euros, mainly due to the decline in revenue from TAV OS (a company specialized in airport lounge management) for -9 million euros and from BTA (company specialized in bars and restaurants) for -3 million euros, due to the impact of the crisis linked to the Covid-19 crisis. These decreases are mitigated by the good performance of HAVAS, for +5 million euros due to the increase in the number of flights served, and TAV IT for +3 million euros, due to new contracts.
TAV Airports' EBITDA is up by +31 million euros, at +21 million euros, linked to the increase in revenue (+13 million euros) and with the drop in operating expenses (-14 million euros compared to the 1st half of 2020) linked to optimization measures.
EBITDA of the segment International and airport developments is up by +36 million euros, at 20 million euros, despite the decrease in revenue of the segment, mainly due to the measures taken to reduce to the operating expenses, mainly in TAV Airports.
Operating income from ordinary activities of the segment stands at -90 million euros, vs. an income of -277 million over the 1st half of 2020, due to:
- the favorable base effect due to the impairment of an intangible asset at the international level over the 1st half of 2020 for 132 million euros;
- the rise of the share of profit from operating associates by +24 million euros, at -64 million euro over the 1st half of 2021, mainly explained by the better outcome realized by the companies consolidated under the equity method at TAV Airports for +15 million euros, of which +10 million euros for Antalya due to the traffic resumption (+69.3% over the 1st half of 2021 compared to the 1st half of 2020).

Groupe ADP announces the completion by TAV Airports of the acquisition of the management company of Almaty International Airport in Kazakhstan
As disclosed on May 8th, 202018, a consortium led by TAV Airports (of which Groupe ADP owns 46.38% of the capital) has signed on May 7th, 2020 a Share Purchase Agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of Almaty Airport and the associated jet fuel activities, which will be delegated to a dedicated operator, and services for an Enterprise Value of 422 million dollars.
The share transfer of Almaty Airport took place on April 29th, 2021. Almaty Airport is now fully owned by the consortium of which TAV Airports is an 85% shareholder. VPE Capital, a specialist fund manager in the capital markets in Russia and the CIS19, holds the remaining 15% stake in the consortium, subject to a put option. The airport is fully consolidated into TAV Airports' accounts and Groupe ADP's accounts.
The purchase price at 100%20 is 422 million of dollars. The current global crisis in the airline industry has led to submit a part of this purchase price (50 million of dollars) to a deferred payment which is conditioned to the achievement of a certain level of traffic at pre-determined dates, and in any case to be paid at the latest in 2030.
The airport of Almaty, Kazakhstan's economic capital, is the biggest airport in Central Asia: it welcomed approximately 6.4 million passengers in 2019, around half of which were from international routes. Kazakhstan, the biggest landlocked country in the world with 2.7 million square km, is the driver of economic growth in the region, and stands for 60% of Central Asia's GDP.
