Results Q1-3/2021
17.11.2021
Q1-3/2021: After very difficult first half year, significant rise in passenger figures in Q3/2021
Q1-3/2021with revenue on previous year's level, net result before non- controlling interests at € -0.1 million, positive development of passenger figures in Q3/2021
Confirmed Guidance für 2021:
Around 12 to 13 million passengers are expected within the Flughafen Wien Group and more than 10 million passengers at the Vienna site due to the positive development of passenger figures in the last months. Flughafen Wien Group with its strong financial basis expects the financial year 2021 to end with a positive net result of € 4 million. This is due on the one hand to significant cost savings such as lower expenses for incentives, lower maintenance expenses, reduced personnel costs and passenger numbers that were above the original forecast, and on the other hand to higher government subsidies as a result of the extension of short-term work until the end of the year, government support relating to COVID (partially also for the losses incurred in 2020) and additional revenue from property transactions. In 2021, revenue is expected to come to around € 380
million and EBITDA to around plus € 150 million. Net debt is expected to decline to around € 100 million again after the increase in the previous year. Capital expenditure will amount to around € 60 million. Because of the difficulty of predicting the further course of the pandemic, the guidance for 2021 remains subject to uncertainty.
