Aéroports de Paris SA
Information concerning the long term credit rating regarding
Aéroports de Paris

Aéroports de Paris takes note of today's decision by the rating agency Standard and Poor's to revise the long term credit rating of the company, due to the traffic decrease linked to the Covid-19 epidemic. This rating is now A, with a negative outlook, while it has been A+ with a negative outlook since 27 February 2020.

The agency highlights in particular that: "The airports sector in Europe is facing an unprecedented decline in air traffic as Europe has become the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic". Regarding ADP, it precises that: "Liquidity remains adequate, despite our expectations of lower cash flow generation over the next 12 months. One of the company's credit strengths in the current environment is its liquidity position. We continue to see to see the group's liquidity as adequate despite our expectations for lower cash generation over the next 12 months.(…)This should be sufficient for the company to cover its €879 million of short-term maturities, €550 million of maintenance capex and dividends, and €1.36 billion to pay down the acquisition of India-based GMR Airports. We have not included any potential sources of additional liquidity, such as new funding to finance this acquisition. We acknowledge ADP's flexibility to defer further planned capex, and reduce or even suspend shareholder remuneration if necessary."
