Commercial Business and Real Estate
Commercial Business and Real Estate
Resilient Real Estate Business
COMMERCIAL BUSINESS
The commercial business shows lower rental income as a result of lower passenger numbers and the impact of the lockdown on commuters as well as employees (remote work) at the airport. Negotiations for MAG reductions for 2020 are concluded and were held on a case-by-case basis to find individual agreements.
• Commercial turnover -60.5% to CHF 237.2m − Airside -72.6%
− Landside -43.1%
REAL ESTATE
Fixed contract real estate business performed in line with expectations and showed only minor shortfalls in rent.
• Real estate revenues increasing due to acquisition of Priora real estate portfolio in December 2019 and initial revenues from The Circle
Commercial Business
Significant Drop after Record Year
• Commercial turnover (actual spend of customers) heavily impacted by lower frequencies both on air- and landside
• As a result, commercial revenue (amount tenants pay as rent) significantly lower; however, Minimum Annual Guarantees
(MAG) provide certain protection but had to be lowered as well in various cases
• Largest commercial tenants are Dufry, SSP and Autogrill
Real Estate Business
Solid Progress and Expected to Perform Well in the Years to Come

Revenue from Facility Management (in million CHF)
• Revenue from facility management mainly consists of fixed rental contracts (rental and leasing agreements) and offers good visibility with high EBITDA margins
• Significant boost in revenues in 2020 as a result of the acquisition of the Priora real estate assets and initial revenue generation from The Circle
• Rental revenue is generated from office space, hangars or cargo/engine halls; largest tenants are SR Technics, Cargologic,
Swiss International Air Lines, Gate Gourmet and Swissport
• With the completion of The Circle, revenues are estimated to rise and further improve the quality of the tenant profile
