Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris SA - Groupe ADP, stated: "Traffic of Groupe ADP increased by 7.6% in 2018 to reach 281.4 million passengers propelling the Group to be the leading airport operating group in the world in terms of passenger numbers. 2018 results are excellent for all the activities. In 2018, revenue was up by 24% to €4,478 million and EBITDA was up by 25% to €1,961 million. Net income attributable to the Group grew by 6.9% to €610 million, and allows to propose a dividend payment of €3.70 per share at the next General Meeting. The year 2018 has seen the acceleration of the infrastructure works as planned by the Economic Regulation Agreement covering the 2016-2020 tariff period necessary to accommodate sustained traffic growth on Parisian platforms.  Abroad, it also saw the deployment of the strategy of the Groupe ADP with the take-over of Airport International Group, concessionary of Amman international airport in Jordan. TAV Airports posted excellent results thanks notably to the traffic growth of 10.4% and to the acquisition of the management company of Antalya aiport since May 2018.  Groupe ADP is following its trajectory and, thanks to good traffic performance and financial discipline, is revising some of its objectives for 2020, in particular the regulated ROCE. This performance will be put at the service of the long-term growth of our infrastructures. Let's meet on April 5th for our Investor day. "

Over 2018, Groupe ADP consolidated revenue, stood at €4,478 million, up by €861 million, mainly thanks to:

  • The full consolidation of TAV Airports since the 2nd half of 2017, which contributed to revenue up to €1,166 million, and the full consolidation of AIG since April 2018, which contributed to revenue up to €175 million. Excluding the full consolidation of both entities, Groupe ADP revenue grew by 4.6%, to €3,137 million;
  • The growth in airport fees in Paris Aéroport (+5.6%, at €1,115 million), driven by passenger traffic dynamics (+3.8%) combined with the increase in tariffs since 1 April 2018 (+2.125%) despite the 1st semester strikes;
  • The increase of retail and services segment by 4.9%, to €1000 million, driven by the performance of retail activities (+6.8%, to €490 million);
  • The growth in real estate segment's revenue (+6.0%), to €265 million mainly thanks to the positive effect of the full acquisition of the "Dôme" building, in Paris-Charles de Gaulle in December 2017.

Other activities segment and intersegment eliminations are impacted by the sale of a 80%-stake in Hub Safe that has led to a change in consolidation method for the firm results since the 4th quarter of 2017[9]. Hub Safe's results are now integrated as share in associates from non-operating activities. Over 2018, the net loss in revenue, linked to the share of external revenue of Hub Safe amounted to €8 million compared to 2017.

Over 2018, revenue from International and airport developments strongly increased by €730 million, to €1,412 million, due to the scope change linked to the full consolidation of TAV Airports' results1 since July 2017 and the full consolidation of AIG's results2 since April 2018. EBITDA segment stood at €585 million.

ADP Ingénierie[17] revenue was up by €7 million, at €58 million. ADP Ingénierie EBITDA amounts to €0.8 million (vs. -€12m compared to 2017) and operating income from ordinary activities (including operating activities of associates) is null (vs. a  result of -€13m in 2017). As of 31 December 2018, ADP Ingénierie's backlog stood at €75 million, strongly up compared to end of 2017 (€61 million).

ADP International, excluding its subsidiary ADP Ingénierie, saw its revenue increase by €173 million, to €188 million, out of which €175 million due to the full consolidation of AIG since April 2018.

ADP International's EBITDA stood at €37.2 million, up by €48.7 million, thanks to the contribution of the full consolidation of AIG's results for an amount of €54 million. ADP international Operating income from ordinary activities (including operating activities of associates) stood at €2.6 million, up by €41.3 million due to:

  • A provision on international stake amounting to €20 million in 2018 vs. €46 million in 2017;
  • The capital gain of the re-evaluation of the already-owned 9.5%-stake in AIG for an amount of €23 million.

Over 2018, TAV Airports achieved an increase in revenue of €550 million, to €1,166 million.

  • €544m linked to the full consolidation over the 1st semester of 2018;
  • €6m corresponding to the change between the 2nd semester of 2017 and the 2nd semester of 2018, the effect of the rise in traffic being almost entirely offset by the negative impact on revenue of the depreciation of -49% of the Turkish lira on average in 2nd semester 2018 (vs. 2nd semester of 2017)

In full year, TAV Airports revenue was up by 2.7%, thanks to very good traffic dynamics, to the growth of the activities of its subsidiaries, despite the depreciation of the Turkish lira.
TAV Airports' EBITDA[18] rose by €268 million to €548 million:

  • €228m linked to the full consolidation over the 1st semester of 2018
  • €40 million corresponding to the change between the 2nd semester of 2017 and the 2nd semester of 2018, in particular due to the dynamism of traffic, the effect of the depreciation of the Turkish lira being broadly neutral at the level of EBITDA.

In full year, TAV Airports' EBITDA was up by 7% to €514 million under the effect of the increase in revenue and thanks to a stability of the operating expenses.

TAV Airports' net result attributable to the group net result is up by €46 million, at €75 million.
Share of profit from operating associates, including mainly the share from operating associates of TAV Airports (in particular Antalya) and Schiphol Group stood at €75 million over 2018, vs. €77 million compared to 2017, i.e. a decrease of €2 million.

Operating income from ordinary activities (including operating activities of associates) for International and airport developments stood consequently at €339 million, compared to a result of €186 million for 2017.

(1) Following the sale by Groupe ADP of a 80%-stake of Hub Safe on 29 September 2017, Hub Safe sub-group is presented in share in associates from non-operating activities.

Over 2018, other activities segment revenue decreased by 28.3% at €155 million.

As a reminder, since 29 September 2017, date of the sale of 80%-stake in Hub Safe, Hub Safe has been accounted for as non-operational associates. From this date, the share in profit has been accounted for as share in associates from non-operating activities.

Over 2018, Hub One saw its products slightly increasing by 0.8% to €155 million. Hub One's EBITDA decreased by 34.1%, to €13.4 million due to re-negotiation of intragroup contracts, with no impact on the group financial accounts.
Segment EBITDA increased by €22 million to €47 million mainly linked to reimbursement of studies and works made for the project CDG Express (+€30m in 2018 compared to 2017).

The operating income from ordinary activities (including operating activities of associates) of the segment was up by €24 million, at €33 million.

Events having occurred since 31 December 2018
The decision of the ISA not to approve the 2019 airport charges (11 January 2019)

On 15 January 2019, Aéroports de Paris SA took note of the decision n°1810-D1 of the Independent Supervisory Authority (ISA) not to approve the airport charges applicable from 1 April 2019, on Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget airports as well as their modulations, with the exception of fees for assistance to disabled passengers and passengers with reduced mobility. The ISA estimates that the overall product of the airport public service fees on the airport system, after taking into account the proposed tariffs increase, exceeds the services cost.

The decision of the ISA to approve the 2019 airport charges (6 February 2019)

On 8 February 2019, Aéroports de Paris SA took note of the decision n°1810-D2 of 6 February 2019 of the Independent Supervisory Authority (ISA) to approve the airport charges applicable for the 2019-2020 tariff period([20]).  These tariffs will come into force from 1 April 2019 and will be up by 1.0% for Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports and 3.52% for Paris-Le Bourget airport.

Groupe ADP contributes to the CDG Express project

The infrastructure manager CDG Express ("GI CDG Express"), equally owned by Groupe ADP, SNCF Réseau and Caisse des Dépôts et Consignations, has signed today with the French State the concession contract for works relating to the CDG Express link project. Under this contract, GI CDG Express is responsible for financing, designing, building and maintaining the CDG Express link for 50 years. It will connect the Gare de l'Est (Paris-East station) to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in 20 minutes. Groupe ADP will be committed to finance the project through equity contribution of €134 million and a non-renewable repayable advance of up to €150 million.

January 2019 traffic figures

Forecasts

2019 Forecasts
 

 
2019 Forecasts
Group traffic's assumption

 
Traffic growth assumption for Paris Aéroport between +2% and +2.5% in 2019 compared to 2018
Traffic assumption (5) for TAV Airports Group (excluding Istanbul Atatürk) in 2019: decrease of between -38% and -42%
Consolidated EBITDA(1)/(2)/(3)

 

 

 
Decrease of between -8% and -13% in 2019 compared to 2018 taking into account the closure of Istanbul Atatürk Airport(3)

 

Consolidated EBITDA restated of Istanbul Atatürk Airport contribution in 2018 (proforma) and in 2019 : increase of between +1% and +5% compared to 2018


Of which consolidated EBITDA excluding full consolidation of TAV Airports and AIG: increase between +1% and +2%

 

Reminder of TAV Airports' EBITDA(4) guidance: drop from -38% to -42% compared to 2018
Dividend for 2019 Maintained pay-out of 60% of NRAG(6) 2019

(1)  TAV Airports' EBITDA guidance, underlying Group's EBITDA guidance, is built on the following exchange rate assumptions: EUR/TRY = 6.7, EUR/USD = 1,17
(2)  Takes into account the introduction of the mechanism charging Aéroports de Paris 6% of the costs hitherto fully covered by the airport tax, in accordance with Article 179 of Law No. 2018-1317 of finance dated 28 December 2018.
(3)  The closure of Atatürk Airport is expected to take effect on 3 March 2019. Therefore, as this is a discontinued operation within the meaning of the norm IFRS5, the contribution of this airport in 2019 will not be included in the EBITDA calculation.
(4)  EBITDA as published by TAV Airports includes Ankara guaranteed passenger revenue (net of accretion income on the linked financial claim) and the share of equity pick-up
(5) TAV traffic at 100%
(6) Net result attributable to the Group

The achievement of these forecasts are subject to the assumption of traffic growth in Paris Aéroport and the good run of TAV Airports' strategy.

The closure of Atatürk Airport is expected as of 3 March 2019. Therefore, as this is a discontinued operation under the norm IFRS5, the contribution of this airport in 2019 will not be included in EBITDA, but fully in income from discontinued operations (in non-operating income).

In 2018, the contribution of TAV Istanbul, the entity holding the Atatürk operating contract, is €471 million in revenue, €263 million in EBITDA, €97 million in Operating income from ordinary activities (after PPA impacts).
