acquisitions.

EBITDA Revenues

L-f-L Revenue +4.6% L-f-L EBITDA +6.6%

In France the company has reinforced its position through the acquisition of minorities shareholders for €942Mn in Q1, thus strengthening the asset portfolio in a stable and strategic country that offers additional opportunities, increases the company's average duration and provides access to a greater dividend stream. Following the same rationale, during February the company reached an agreement to acquire an additional stake in A4 Holding in Italy.

L-f-L Net Profit +13%

In addition, 2017 marks the entry of Abertis in Asia, with the acquisition of two toll roads in India enabling the company to develop a local knowledge to further analyze opportunities in a dynamic market with high growth potential, solid macroeconomic fundamentals, and significant demographic expansion.

Toll roads - Chile

All in all, Abertis has already successfully replaced all of the proportional EBITDA of its expiring concessions, thus highlighting its capacity to build a perpetual and growing business.

At the operating level, Q1 2017 has been impacted by Easter (which fell in March in 2016, whereas in April in 2017). Excluding this calendar effect, Q1 2017 ADT exceeds the company's expectations in most markets.

Tariffs increases, the contribution of Italy to the consolidation perimeter and a strong appreciation of the Brazilian and Chilean currencies helped offset the aforementioned Easter calendar and leap year effects, and drove revenues up 18.3% (+4.6% L-f-L) to €1,281Mn. EBITDA increased by 13% (+6.6% L-f-L) to

€807Mn, supported by efficiency initiatives, with a consolidated L-f-L margin expansion of 120bps to 66.3%. Net profit for the period reached €130Mn, +13% in organic terms, while the discretionary cash flow in the period (post-tax, interest expenses, and operating capex) rose 21.5% to €575Mn. Net Debt amounted to €14,994Mn, reflecting the acquisition of minorities in France, the consolidation of the Indian assets and the tax back (+€321Mn) received from the Cellnex IPO capital gains. The average cost of the debt stood at 4.5%. Shareholder remuneration: On 24 April, Abertis distributed a €0.37/share gross dividend, offering for the first time to shareholders the possibility of choosing between receiving it in cash or through Abertis shares from treasury stock with a 3% discount. In addition Abertis announced that it will cancel its annual bonus share issue without impacting the committed total shareholder remuneration growth of 10% for 2017.
