  • 2019 consolidated EBITDA8 9 10: decrease between -8% and -13% compared to 2018
  • Consolidated EBIDTA restated of Istanbul Atatürk contribution in 2018 (pro forma) and in 20198 9 10: increase between +3% and +6% compared to 2018
  • 2019 consolidated EBITDA, excluding the full consolidation of TAV Airports et AIG10: increase between +2% and +3%
  • Maintained pay-out of 60% of NRAG 2019 for the dividend

Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris SA – Groupe ADP, stated:

"The 17.8% increase in revenue over the first 9 months of 2019 is based on good performance in all activities of the Group. Groupe ADP's traffic, excluding Istanbul Atatürk's traffic in 2018 and 2019, grew by 2.8% over the first 9 months of 2019, with an increase of 3.4% in Paris. In Paris, retail activities are still under sustained growth with the sales per passenger for airside shops up by 6.6%, at €19.0. Regarding international activities, the Group shows strong results thanks to the growth of international traffic in the Turkish airports of TAV Airports and the good performance of TAV Airports' services companies, which are growth drivers for the Group after the closure of Istanbul Atatürk airport."

2 Unless otherwise stated, percentages are comparing the first 9 month of 2019 data to 2018 comparable data
3 The Group 9M 2018 revenue as published on 29 October 2019 was restated following the Istanbul Ataturk airport end of operation on 6 April 2019 (IFRS 5 standard). The Group consolidated revenue doesn't take into account TAV Istanbul revenue for 2018 and 2019. As a reminder, the revenue for TAV Istanbul as of 9M 2018 was €361M.                                                       
4 TAV Airports traffic is taken into account at 100% according to their financial communication, including Istanbul Atatürk traffic until 6 April 2019. Following the acquisition of a 49%-stake in Antalya airport, traffic of this airport is 100%-included since January 2018 for the need of the analysis, while TAV Airports only has included Antalya traffic since May 2018
5 In April 2019, Groupe ADP reviewed its links with Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire, Relay@ADP and MZLZ-TRGOVINA D.o.o (Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire Croatia) and considers controlling these entities since then. Booked until this date with the equity method, these companies are since April 2019 fully consolidated
6 Sales in airside shops divided by the number of departing passengers (Sales/Pax)
7 As a reminder, Istanbul Atatürk airport welcomed 16mpax between 01/01/2019 and 06/04/2019 which were not taken into account in TAV Airports' traffic growth assumption concerning 2019
8 TAV Airports' EBITDA guidance, underlying Group's EBITDA guidance, is built on the assumption the following exchange rate assumptions: EUR/TRY = 6.5, EUR/USD = 1.13
9 Following the Istanbul Ataturk airport end of operation on 6 April 2019 (see 8 April 2019 press release), the IFRS 5 standard "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" is applying to TAV Airports since this date. Revenue and operating expenses of TAV Istanbul for 2018 and 2019 are presented on a separate line on the income statement as "net income from discontinued activities", in accordance with the IFRS 5 standard. Therefore, consolidated revenue, EBITDA and operating income of the Group don't take into account the activity of Istanbul Atatürk airport anymore.

First 9 months of 2019 consolidated revenue – Analysis by segment

Aviation activities – Parisian platforms

(in millions of euros) 9M 2019 9M 2018 2019/2018
Revenue 1,465 1,422 +3.0%

Ancillary fees 188 180 +4.8%
Revenue from airport safety and security services 366 374 -2.0%
Other income 26 27 -4.6%

Over the first 9 months of 2019, revenue from the Aviation segment, which only includes Parisian aviation activities, is up by 3.0%, at €1,465 million.

Revenue from airport fees (passenger fees, landing fees and aircraft parking fees) is up by 5.0%, at €885 million, benefiting from the passenger traffic growth (+3.4%) and the tariffs increase. As a reminder, tariffs (excluding PRM1 fees) have increased by 1.0% as of 1st April 2019 for Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly.

Revenue from ancillary fees is up by 4.8%, at €188 million, due in particular to the revenue of the PRM1 fee (+6.6%, at  €3.1 million) and to revenue related to the check-in counters (+4.4%, at €3.0 million), mainly linked to the traffic growth.

Revenue from airport safety and security services was down at €366 million, due to the implementation of a disposal provided for in the finance law for 2019 and applicable since April 2019 (-€16 million). As a reminder, this disposal is introduced in the article 179 of Law No. 2018-1317 of 28 December 2018 of finance and is charging Aéroports de Paris of 6% of the costs hitherto fully covered by the airport tax product.

Other income mostly consists in re-invoicing the French Air Navigation Services Division and leasing associated with the use of terminals and other works services made for third parties. It was down by 4.6%, at €26 million.

Over the first 9 months of 2019, revenue from the Retail and services segment, which only includes Parisian activities, was up by 44.3%, at €1,070 million.

Revenue from retail activities is composed of 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. Since the takeover of Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire and Relay@ADP in April 2019, the revenue includes notably the realized revenue in retail areas operated by these two societies in public and reserved areas, and for Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire, revenue linked to affiliate commission1 activities, and revenue from tax refund service delivery. For information, the rents related to activities operated by Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire and Relay@ADP previously collected by Aéroports de Paris S.A. are now subject to an inter segments elimination. They are not accounted for since the modification of the applicable consolidation method. The amount of these eliminations stood at €165M over Q2 and Q3 2019.

It should be noted that airside shops revenue over the first 9 months of 2019 is up by 10.3%, at €782 million.

Over the first 9 months of 2019 the revenue from retail activities stands at €679 million, due to:

  • Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire full consolidation as from April 2019, of which the revenue stands at €411 million. Over the first 9 months of 2019, revenue from Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire increased by +7%. This increase is notably linked to the Core Business2 performance of +8%, linked to the Sales/PAX performance, traffic growth and favorable perimeter effects (new shops opening, notably in the 2E Hall L and Orly 3 walkthroughs). Fashion3 increased a bit more slowly by +4% prejudiced by works in the terminal 2E Hall L. FNAC activities (+8%) benefit from Orly 3 opening and a good dynamics in outlets of the terminal of the terminal 2E Hall M and AC junction ;
  • Relay@ADP full consolidation as from April 2019, of which the revenue stands at €55 million ;
  • Rents related to other shops, bars and restaurants for €142 million ;

The Other products of retail activities account, which includes foreign exchange businesses and tax refund, decreased by 14.8%, at €31 million. The previous contract linked the foreign exchange activities to the tax refund and was managed by Travelex. At the expiration of the contract, these two activities were separated in an objective of continuous improvement of the quality of service and to better meet with specific expectations of clients. As of now, Cash Paris Tax Refund, a joint-venture formed by two operators Global Blue and Planet Payment, operates tax refund activities and Travelex remains as foreign exchange operator. The separation of the activities triggered a decrease of the average rental rate on these activities, but should lead to a better reinvestment of the refunded tax amount into airside shops and bar & restaurant. The observed decrease over the first 9 months of 2019 is therefore linked to this transition period and the implementation of this new scheme.

Revenue from car parks was down by 2.7%, standing at €128 million.

Revenue from industrial services (supply of electricity and water) was down by 2.7%, at €98 million.

Rental revenues (leasing of spaces within terminals) were down by 2.5%, at €109 million.

Other revenues (primarily constituted of internal services) increased by 47.0%, at €56 million, notably thanks to the increase of €17 million linked to works repayments for the project Société du Grand Paris

The Group consolidated revenue doesn't take into account TAV Istanbul revenue for 2018 and 2019. As a reminder, the revenue for TAV Istanbul as of 9M 2018 was €361M.                                                       

Over the first 9 months of 2019, revenue from the International and airports developments segment stood at €838 million, up by 19.2% compared to 2018 due to:

  • AIG's results full consolidation since April 2018 for €69 million: €53 million revenue in Q1 2019, and €15 million due to increased revenue between Q2 and Q3 2019 vs. Q2 and Q3 2018, driven by the international traffic dynamics and a positive foreign exchange impact;
  • Revenue increase for ADP Ingénierie and Merchant Aviation for €5 million. This increase is due to the realization of projects in Vietnam (feasibility survey of Ho Chi Minh's second airport). As of end September 2019, ADP Ingénierie's backlog stood at €80 million, up by 17.2% compared to end September 2018 (€68 million);
  • TAV Airports revenue increase for €50 million, at €582 million. This performance is due to the dynamism of the international traffic within airports of TAV Airports in Turkey (+18.9%), notably in Bodrum (+25.6%) and Izmir (+19.7%). TAV Airports' Turkish airports contribute to the revenue increase for €9 million compared to the first 9 months of 2018, despite the decrease of domestic traffic recorded in these airports (-7.5% compared to the first 9 months of 2018). The revenue increase of TAV Airports is also explained by: i) rise in traffic registered in platforms outside Turkey of TAV Airports, notably in Tunisia (+26.3%) and in Macedonia (+12.7%), contributing to the revenue increase for €12 million and ii) by the impact of the full consolidation of the service company GIS, specialized in VIP lounges management in airports, acquired in January 2019 (+€21 million);
  • Full consolidation of Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire Croatie since April 2019 of which the revenue stands at €9 million.
