Key data

OPERATIONAL INDICATORS

FINANCIAL RESULTS                                                                                                                                               

Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Groupe ADP, stated:

" Groupe ADP had a very good year in 2023, with more than 336 million passengers welcomed across our airport network, including nearly 100 million at Paris Aéroport. In Paris, the success of the new Extime hospitality brand materializes intro an outstanding retail performance: Extime Paris sales per passenger reached a record level of 30.6 euros, an increase of +11.6% compared to 2022. All in all, this strong growth and operating performance translate into a consolidated EBITDA of 1,956 million euros, representing an EBITDA margin of 35.6% of revenue, in line with the 2023 target. Net result group share reaches 631 million euros, enabling us to propose a dividend of 3.82 euros per share to the Annual General Meeting, in line with our policy of paying out a dividend of 60% of this result. 

2024 will be a historic year for all Groupe ADP employees: we will celebrate the 50 years of Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport in March, we will inaugurate the arrival of metro line 14 at Paris-Orly airport in June, and we will welcome the Olympic and Paralympic Games this summer. Our airports will be the France's first and last image: we will live up to our responsibility. This year, we will initiate the transformation of the parisian airports, in line with the new airport model set out in our 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap. The project for Paris-Orly, a model of a low-carbon and responsible airport, anchored in its territory, will be presented during a voluntary public consultation starting on February 26^th."

⁵  Changes vs. 2022 and traffic % vs. 2019 hereabove are calculated on a like-for-like basis, by comparing 2023 traffic data with historical traffic data for the current scope (see Appendix 3 of this press release), except from Goa airport in 2023, opened on January 5^th, 2023.

⁶  Group traffic includes airports operated by Groupe ADP in freehold (incl. Almaty) or under concession, receiving regular commercial passenger traffic, excluding airports under management contract. Historical data since 2019 is available on the company's website.

⁷  Net financial debt compared to EBITDA over the last 12 months.

Highlights

2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap 

In its second year of implementation, the progress of the "2025 Pioneers" roadmap is materializing into concrete actions contributing to the 2025 goals. Please refer to the KPIs progress table of the 20 objectives on pages 20 to 22 of this release. 

GIL & GAL merger project progress

The preparation of the merger project between GIL & GAL to form an airport holding company listed on the Indian Stock Exchanges (seepress release of March 19^th2023) is ongoing as planned.

The planned merger will simplify and clarify the capital structure of the airport assets, fully reveal GAL's value and make the merged company a more agile development platform to seize new opportunities in India and Southeast Asia.

The transaction is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. It should be noted that the merger will lead to the recognition of a non-cash expense, reflecting on one hand a change in the economic interest of Groupe ADP (including the settlement of ratchet clauses and a liquidity premium) and on the other hand the integration of the assets, excluding GAL, of New GIL, whose net value will be negative at the merger date.

This expense was estimated at around €100 million when the agreement was signed in March 2023. Its final amount will be determined on the effective merger date, and is therefore likely to increase, particularly in view of GIL's stock market valuation.

Establishment of Extime Food & Beverage Paris

On October 25^th, 2023, Select Service Partner, which was selected following a consultation process in 2021, acquired a 50% stake in the share capital of Extime Food & Beverage Paris. This transaction was authorized by the French competition authorities in August 2023⁸.

The financial statements of Extime Food & Beverage Paris, which were fully consolidated until Select Service Partner acquired this interest, have since been accounted for using the equity method.

The restated consolidated financial statements for 2023, as if Extime Food & Beverage Paris had been accounted for using the equity method for the full year, are provided in Appendix 5 of this release. Approval of tariffs at Paris Aéroport

By its decision n°2024-001 of January 18^th, 2023, published on February 12^th, 2024, the ART has approved the airport fees for Aéroports de Paris for the tariff period from April 1^st, 2024, to March 31st, 2025. 

For Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports, this approval translates into an average increase in charges of +4.5%, and an average increase by +5.4% for Paris-Le Bourget airport (see in appendix 4 of this document and on thecompany's website).

Aéroports de Paris's proposal included initial changes in cost accounting, for which ART invited Aéroports de Paris to complete its analyses by the end of the transitional period on December 31, 2025. In addition, the ART confirmed that the part of the long-distance transport infrastructure tax, created by the finance law for 2024, that was included in Aéroports de Paris' tariff proposal could indeed be covered by airport fees. Lastly, in its tariff approval decision, ART specified that it had estimated the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) at 4.5% for the regulated scope.

Performance of the regulated perimeter in 2023⁹

As of 31 December 2023, the ROCE of the regulated scope was 5.60%, against 4.72%¹⁰ as of 31 December 2022. It corresponds to the ratio between the regulated¹¹ scope's operational income, after normative income tax, and the regulated asset base, used to assess the performance of the regulated scope in accordance with Article L. 6325-1 of the French Transport Code.

The operational income of the regulated perimeter for the year 2023 was 436 million euros before income tax, compared to 369 million euros in 2022. 

The sum of the regulated asset base, corresponding to the net book value of tangible and intangible assets related to the regulated scope, and the working capital requirement amounted to 5 781 million euros as of 31^st December 2023, compared to 5,800 million euros as of 31^st December 2022.

⁸   See press release of September 11th, 2023 

⁹   Data under review - to be certified by the statutory auditors in the second quarter of 2024).

¹⁰ Data for the regulated scope at the end of 2022 have been approved by the auditors on May 31st, 2023. Previously to this review, the regulated ROCE for 2022, as publish in section 1.1.3.1.1 of the 2022 Universal Registration Document, was estimated at 4.67%.

¹¹ Regulated perimeter as defined by the first article of the decree of September 16, 2005, concerning fees for services provided at airports.

Extra-financial rating agency ESG Score awards the Groupe ADP an AA+ rating

Groupe ADP was awarded an AA+ [89/100] rating by the rating agency ESG Score in December 2023. The agency, whose evaluation method is based on international references and a database of ESG best practices, noted the quality of the Group's CSR plan. Launched in 2022, Groupe ADP's "2025 Pioneers for Trust" plan covers all its extra-financial responsibilities and sets an ambitious timetable for its actions.

January 2024 traffic figures

In January 2024, group traffic was up +10.4%, to 25.5 million passengers, at 101.8% of 2019 traffic. 

At Paris Aéroport, traffic was up +0.7%, to 7.0 million passengers, at 89.9% of 2019 traffic. The scheduled trial of the 4-Flight air traffic management system by the North en-route air navigation center has led to reductions in flight schedules since January 9^th, 2024. The loss of traffic is estimated at around 650,000 passengers in January 2024. The trial phase will end on February 14^th, 2024.

Paris Aéroport traffic assumptions for 2024, detailed below, take account of this trial phase.

Outlook 2024 - 2025

Approaching its 2019 traffic level in Paris and exceeding it abroad, while having already surpassed its 2019 consolidated EBITDA, the group expects to gradually return to growth rates close to those experienced before the Covid-19 crisis. In addition, the introduction of the new tax applicable to major transport infrastructure in France has an impact on the group's financial trajectory. For these reasons, Groupe ADP is updating its assumptions, forecasts and targets 2024 - 2025 and is returning to a selection of indicators allowing for a direct reading of the evolution of its performance, without reference to 2019. The updated 2024 - 2025 assumptions, targets and forecasts are summarized on page 24 of this release and presented below. Previous assumptions, forecasts and targets are listed in Appendix 6 of this release.

Passenger traffic

In Paris 

In 2024, passenger traffic in Paris is expected to grow by +3.5% to +5.0% compared to 2023. In 2025, it is expected to grow by +2.5% to +4.0% compared to 2024.

Over the longer term, and in line with our decarbonization objectives, the group anticipates a gradual normalization of passenger traffic in Paris, tending towards a compound annual growth rate of 1% to 1.5% over the 2024-2050 period, a level slightly below than that recorded before the Covid-19 crisis, but with a more contributive traffic mix. 

Indeed, this expected growth in traffic volume should be accompanied with a gradual shift in the mix in favor of international traffic , which is more value-creating for the group. A more reasoned use of air travel and increasing use of other modes of transport for short and medium-distance journeys should lead to a natural decline in the share of short and medium-haul flights in favor of international traffic (outside Europe) at Paris Aéroport, which is a higher contributor.

At group level

In 2024, group passenger traffic is expected to grow by more than +8.0% compared to 2023. 

Going forward, the traffic compound annual growth rate at the group scale should continue to surpass that recorded in Paris, as international assets are located in regions of the world where traffic growth is more dynamic, particularly for TAV Airports, whose financial objectives are based on the assumption of a compound annual growth rate of +10% to +14% over the 2022 – 2025 period, and for GMR Airports.

Retail in Paris Aéroport

Extime Paris Sales/pax are now expected to grow by +3% to +5% in 2025 compared with 2023 (previous target was €29.5 in 2025).

The deployment of Extime's strategy and ecosystem in Paris should continue to bear fruits and contribute to drive the profitable growth of commercial activities. Certain temporary adverse effects are likely to affect this performance:

◆  the sequential reopening of Terminal 2-AC at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, in 2024, whose commercial offer is less developed than those of Terminal 1 or Terminal 2-E, which concentrate the majority of international traffic to date;

◆  continued renovation of Terminal 2-E, hall K, at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, in 2024 and 2025. While these works will not lead to the closure of the terminal, they will lead to the temporary closure or relocation of certain stores.

These effects should nevertheless be more than offset by the very strong underlying performance of retail activities, driven by the Extime model, the ramp-up of its new digital ecosystem, and the opening of Extime Exclusive reception lounges, scheduled for the second quarter of 2024.

Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games

Groupe ADP is preparing for the Paris Olympic and Paralympic Games taking place between July and September 2024. An exceptional response has been made to the operational and human challenges of these events and the entire airport community is mobilized with Groupe ADP. The major resources deployed by Groupe ADP to host the Olympic Games are aimed at:

◆  meeting the highest standards of passenger service in Parisian airports;

◆  meeting specific needs of delegations, as well as those of passengers. The accommodation of both can put a strain on operations (groups, oversized baggage, ground transportation by bus, etc), particularly at certain peak hours;

◆  deploying innovative solutions to enhance quality of service and traffic management capacities: remote check-in at the Olympic Village, progressive deployment of new safety equipment for cabin luggage, etc.

◆  improving the accessibility to and in the Parisian airports, to sustainably adapt our processes and facilities for individuals with disabilities.

The actions implemented in 2023 and 2024 will lead to additional operating expenses estimated at between 40 and 50 million euros^[4], of which close to 8 million euros have already been accounted for in 2023 and 25 million euros have been provisioned as of 2023. The group expects the Olympic Games to have a neutral effect on Paris Airport's total passenger traffic volume in 2024. Indeed, the increase linked to the sporting events could be offset by a slight downturn in tourist traffic, as some foreign visitors may choose to postpone their visit to Paris.

New tax on major transport infrastructure in France

The promulgation, on December 29, 2023, of the initial finance law for 2024, leads to the implementation of a new tax applicable to certain French companies in the transport infrastructure sector, including Aéroports de Paris SA (ADP SA) from 2024 (seepress release of September 27, 2023). This 4.6% tax applies to revenue recorded by Aéroports de Paris SA's in its statutory financial statements, notably excluding revenues from airport safety and security, and after the deduction of a 120 million euros exemption. Its net impact, after taking into account tariff increase as approved by the French Transport Regulatory Authority (Autorité de Régulation des Transports), is estimated at around 90 million euros in 2024, to the EBITDA and the net result attributable to the group.

Updated forecasts and financial targets

The group expects revenue growth to be driven by the positive effects described above: on one hand, the recovery in traffic in Paris and abroad, and on the other, growth in commercial activities. Real estate activities, resilient by nature, will also contribute to this growth. 

Groupe ADP intends to maintain its strict cost management discipline. Nevertheless, various factors will exert increased pressure on the cost base from 2024 onwards, notably:

◆  the reopening of Terminal 2A-C, the opening of the new "Extime Exclusive" Terminal, the commissioning of a new baggage sorter at Terminal 1 and, more generally, the pursuit of excellence in hospitality and quality of service, which will lead to a mechanical increase in ADP SA's expenses in maintenance and care;

◆  the effect of recruitments carried out in 2023 and planned for 2024, with the aim to provide the group with renewed

and diversified skills, in line with its strategic priorities;

◆  the effect of inflation on certain expiring external services contracts, notably electricity supply in Paris;

◆  the particularly intense inflationary environment in Turkey, the effects of which on TAV Airports' expenses should only be partially offset by the evolution of the Turkish lira.

In this context and taking into account the impact of the new tax applicable to major transport infrastructures in France introduced in the finance law for 2024 and which Aéroports de Paris is subject to, Groupe ADP expects EBITDA yearly¹³ growth to be above +4.0% in 2024 and above +7.0% in 2025.

While continuing to account for selected external growth projects in international geographies, the target range for the net debt ratio is now 3.5x to 4.0x EBITDA in 2025.

The other elements of the capital allocation policy remain unchanged: 

◆  aiming at optimizing its investment policy, the group confirms its forecasted investments (capex) for an average of around €900 million a year for ADP SA and around €1.3 billion a year on average for the group;

◆  the dividend policy, based on a payout ratio of 60% of NRAG, with a floor of €3.00 per share for 2024 and 2025, is confirmed.

Launch of a voluntary public concertation phase for the "Paris-Orly 2035" project

By the end of February 2024, Aéroports de Paris intends to submit the "Paris-Orly 2035" development project for the Paris-Orly airport to voluntary public concertation. 

In line with the objectives of transforming the group's airports towards a new airport model, as set out in the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap (see press release of February 16, 2022), the "Paris-Orly 2035" project aims to meet air transport demand while ensuring the sustainable industrial transformation of the airport. The project is based on reference scenarios forecasting a moderate increase in traffic for Paris-Orly, i.e. a compound annual growth rate in passenger traffic below 1% over the 20232035 period, and the same number of aircraft movements in 2035 as in 2018. With the aim to create the conditions for sustainable, innovative development, the "Paris-Orly 2035" development project has been built on four key pillars:

◆  the decarbonization and decongestion of accesses to the airport, with priority given to public transport and soft mobility;

◆  the development of low-carbon energy production through the creation of a local "energy hub", and the desire to maintain and enrich biodiversity at Paris-Orly;

◆  improving quality of service offered to passengers and airlines by better sizing boarding areas and increase efficiency of the airside system, all without creating additional aircraft positions;

◆  the deployment of a real estate offer that complements the orientations of the southern Paris region.

This ambitious development project aims at moving towards a more sustainable airport, capable of offering transport solutions with a low environmental impact for each destination and is carrying a promise of more inclusive hospitality for both passengers and everyday travelers.

The "Paris-Orly 2035" project includes a long-term vision (to 2035) that goes beyond the 2025 Pioneers roadmap. As part of the voluntary concertation process, it will be presented to the public for indicative purposes, and is subject to changes. The elements relating in particular to the amounts of investment linked to the project are working hypotheses and do not constitute commitments for Groupe ADP.

Revenue

Groupe ADP's consolidated revenue stood at 5,495 million euros in 2023, up +17.2% (+807 million euros) compared to 2022, mainly due to the positive effect of traffic recovery on:

◆  Revenue of Aviation activities in Paris, was up +14.0% (+235 million euros), to 1,910 million euros; 

◆  Revenue of Retail and Services in Paris, was up +22.5% (+324 million euros), to 1,766 million euros;

◆  Revenue of International and airport developments segments, especially in TAV Airports, was up +19.8%

(+269 million euros), to 1,630 million euros.

The amount of inter-sector eliminations stood at 305 million euros, up +20.7% (+53 million euros) in 2023.  

EBITDA 

Group's operating expenses stood 3,597 million euros in 2023, up +17.1% (+526 million euros), in line with the growth in revenue. The breakdown of the group's operating expenses was as follows:

◆  Consumables stood at 837 million euros, up +10.8% (+82 million euros), mainly due to:

-    The increase by +34 million euros (+12.0%) for TAV Airports, especially at Almaty;

-    The increase by +44 million euros (+15.3%) for Extime Duty Free Paris and Extime Travel Essentials Paris (formerly Relay@ADP) due to the increase in cost of goods sold, in line with the increase in revenue of these subsidiaries.

◆  External services stood at 1,310 million euros, up +18.4% (+203 million euros), due to:

-    The increase in expenses related to subcontracting of +18.7% (+98 million euros) especially in security and PRM subcontracting (reception and assistance for Persons with Reduced Mobility), due to the increase in traffic in Paris, and due to the reopening of infrastructure in Paris compared to 2022;

-    The increase in expenses related to other services and external expenses by +2.5% (+41 million euros), due in particular to the reopening of infrastructure in Paris compared with 2022 and increased efforts to meet the operational challenges of the strong traffic growth in 2023 and ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympics and Paralympics. ◆ Employee benefits costs stood at 1,055 million euros, up +22.4% (+193 million euros), This increase is notably due to: 

-    +92 million euros for TAV Airports, linked to salary increases in Turkey driven by inflation, and to a lesser extent by increased headcount;

-    +85 million euros for Aéroports de Paris SA, due to:

-    the impact of recruitments made in 2023 (293 additional net FTE^[5]), and in 2022 (full-year effect);

-    the unfavorable base effect linked to the reversal for 20 million euros of a provision on employee benefits, recognized in 2022 (linked to the termination of the defined-benefit pension plan, known as "article 39");

-    the impact on Aéroports de Paris personnel costs of the wage increases introduced in July 2022 and January 2023;

-    The accounting impact of Abelia, the employee shareholding operation, amounting to 12 million euros. The financial impact of this operation, recorded over the 2023-2025 period, is estimated at approximately 28 million euros in Aéroports de Paris' staff expenses.

◆  Taxes other than income taxes stood at 265 million euros, up +13.7% (+32 million euros), due to:

-    An increase in property taxes in Paris of +32.0% (+22 million euros), mainly due to the unfavorable base effect of property tax reductions in 2022, linked to infrastructure closures in Paris in 2020;

-    An increase in taxes on security services of +13.0% (+8 million euros), linked to traffic growth; 

◆  Other operating expenses stood at 130 million euros, up +14.2% (+16 million euros), mainly due to the favorable base effect of the recognition of losses on bad debt in 2022.

◆  Other income and expenses represented a net product of 58 million euros, down -33.5% (-29 million euros). The one-off income of €35 million from the sale of surplus electrical capacity by Aéroports de Paris was more than offset by:

-    the unfavorable base effect of the reversal of an international provision in 2022;

-    the unfavorable base effect of the reversal in 2022 of an impairment charge relating to the above-mentioned irrecoverable receivables;

-    the accounting of a provision of 25 million euros for current expenses relating to the hosting of the Olympic Games at Paris airports

Over 2023, the group's consolidated EBITDA stood at 1,956 million euros, up +14.8% (+252 million euros). EBITDA margin stood at 35.6% of revenue as of 2023, down -0.8 point.

Excluding the impact of one-off items, group's EBITDA would amount to 1,958 million euros in 2023, compared with 1,655 million euros in 2022, an increase by +18.3% (+303 million euros). Excluding one-offs, the EBITDA margin would be 35.6% of revenue in 2023, up +0.3 point on 2022. The list of one-off items for 2022 and 2023, and the calculation of EBITDA excluding one-offs for these two years, are detailed in Appendix 2 of this release.

Net result attributable to the Group

Amortization and impairment of tangible and intangible assets stood at 792 million euros, up +1.3% (+10 million euros). A impairment reversal for +60 million euros, related to AIG, being offset by:

◆  The increase in amortization and impairment of TAV Airports of +42.7% (+54 million euros), driven by greater amount of amortization of Airport Operating Rights (AOR) for several of TAV Airports' assets, which is calculated according to the level of traffic^[6], as well as a 10 million euros impairment on TAV Tunisia;

◆  The unfavorable base effect of the impairment reversal on an international asset, for 10 million euros, booked in 2022.

Share of profit or loss in associates and joint ventures stood at 75 million euros, up +61 million euros. The -18 million euro decrease in result attributable to GMR Airports was offset by improved results at TAV Antalya, and by the following one-offs:

◆  a 38 million euros gain in income from equity-accounted companies of TAV Airports, corresponding to the capital gain on the partial sale by TAV Airports of a 24% stake in Tibah Airports Development, the company operating Medina airport in Saudi Arabia;

◆  a 38 million euros gain linked to the application of Turkish law on hyperinflation accounting on the financial statements of TAV Airports' equity-accounted companies.

Operating income from ordinary activities stood at 1,239 million euros, up +32.4% (+303 million euros), driven by the EBITDA, up +14.8% (+252 million euros), and of share of profit or loss in associates and joint ventures described above.

Other operating income and expenses totaled 4 million euros, down -93.1% (-48 million euros). This decline was due to an unfavorable base effect of 56 million euros, linked to a reversal of the provision on departure plan, booked in 2022. In addition, the proceeds from the sale of 50% of Extime Food & Beverage Paris shares to Select Service Partner (SSP), for 19 million euros, were partially offset by the public interest fine, for 15 million euros, paid by ADP Ingénierie under the Judicial Agreement of Public Interest signed in December 2023^[7].

Operating income stood at 1,243 million euros, up +25.7% (+254 million euros), notably due to the increase in operating income from ordinary activities, partially offset by a decrease in other operating income and expenses.

Financial result stood at -227 million euros, up +1.3% (-3 million euros), the following effects offsetting each other:

◆  the unfavorable base effect from the capital gain on the disposal of the stake in Royal Schiphol Group for 46 million euros, booked in 2022;

◆  the +45 million euros gain from provision reversal on the sold securities shareholder loan granted to Tibah;

◆  an increase in TAV Airports' gross cost of debt of +30 million euros;

◆  the change in fair value, for +32 million euros, of the FCCBs (Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds) issued by GMR Airports Infrastructure Ltd, and held by Aéroports de Paris since March 25^th, 2023^[8];

◆  a €10 million increase in provisions for retirement plans, to take account of the effects of pension reform in France.

The income tax expense stood at -€232 million, compared with a tax expense of -€172 million in 2022, due to the improvement in pre-tax income, and despite a gain of €21 million linked to the application of the Turkish law on hyperinflation accounting on the financial statements of TAV Airports' consolidated companies.

Net income stood at 784 million euros in 2023, up +32.5% (+192 million euros) compared to in 2022.

Net income attributable to non-controlling interests was up +103.9% (+78 million euros), to -153 million euros, due in particular to the one-off effects in TAV Airports and AIG accounts described above.

Given all these items, net income attributable to the Group stood at 631 million euros, up +22.2% (+114 million euros) compared to 2022.

Excluding the impact of one-off items, NRAG would amount 552 million euros in 2023, compared with 393 million euros in 2022, i.e. an increase of +40.5% (+159 million euros).

Follow up of the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap indicators

The following table summarizes and illustrates the 2023 dynamic for the deployment of actions aiming for the 2025 objective.

Legend:

The blue bars symbolize the deployment dynamics of the identified actions.          Greater number of bars indicates greater momentum.

The deployment of the "2025 Pioneers" roadmap can be illustrated with several examples of actions whose implementation  began in 2022 and whose observed results are contributing to the achievement of the objective set for 2025.

One Ambition - Imagining the sustainable airport of tomorrow

The strategic axis One Ambition aims for (i) excellence and sustainability of operational and construction methods, (ii) being innovative in hospitality, and (iii) Developing the offer of multi-global connections.

◆  In 2023, several actions have been initiated or continued to reduce CO2 emissions during taxiing. Paris-Orly airport and pilots of several airlines have shared best practices in taxiing, in particular by limiting the use or shutting down 1 or 2 engines. In 2024, this will be followed by more detailed analysis of operational conditions, in strict compliance with aeronautical safety standards, to establish a framework for this practice. In addition, a trial of a robotized electric tractor has been launched in 2023 at Paris-CDG, with the aim of testing aircraft towing between terminals and runway thresholds in real-life conditions, with aircraft engines switched off. The call for tenders for the shipment of aviation fuel by the shipping concessionaire at Paris-CDG, awarded in 2023, ensures that the arrival of European incorporation mandates for sustainable aviation fuel is properly taken into account. Finally, a new IT tool will be available from 2024 to optimize the flight departure sequence, considering taxiing times and waiting at the runway threshold. [KPI 2]

◆  In 2023, the tool to budget the carbon impact of investment projects has been implemented for the Paris hubs for a total of 11 test projects, including 6 projects for Paris-CDG, including the rehabilitation of runway 1, with work scheduled to start in 2025, and 5 projects for Paris-Orly, including the redesign of the International Departure Process. This budgeting tool is currently being adapted by TAV and AIG for their future use. [KPI 3]

◆  The latest World Airport Awards rankings, based on a worldwide passenger satisfaction survey conducted by the independent British organization Skytrax, were unveiled on March 15, 2023. Paris-Charles de Gaulle was voted "Best European Airport" and now ranks 5th in the Top 100 of the world's best airports (up 1 place). Paris-Orly moved up 7 places to 39th worldwide. 2 airports belonging to the Group's international network continue to climb in the world's top 100: Delhi and Medina. [KPI 5]

◆  In 2023, Groupe ADP deployed the Extime brand across all Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly terminals.  Terminal 1 International and Terminal 2 B/D were positioned in 2023 as "pilot" or "show apartments" for the "boutique Terminal" concept, in the Premium and Lifestyle formats respectively. In addition, the Extime Rewards loyalty program and marketplace (www.extime.com) are now operational. At the end of 2023, the loyalty program had more than 2.7 million members. Studies into the possibility of deploying the Extime brand and concept internationally keep going on. [KPI 6]

◆  Works at the multimodal hubs are progressing well in line with the trajectory. Power-up of equipment at metro line 14 station is now 75% complete, and operations in preparation to commissioning are well underway. Commercial service for the southern extension of line 14 is scheduled for June 2024. It will link central Paris to Paris-Orly airport, serving dense residential areas as well as major urban centers and facilities, such as the Rungis international Market. By the end of 2027, the airport will also be connected to Massy-TGV station with line 18, currently under construction, and to Versailles by 2030. In addition, as part of intermodality, bus lines will be built and put into service. At this stage, studies have been launched for 2 bus lines from Paris-CDG serving the Val d'Oise district. [KPI 9]

One Group - Building a global, integrated and responsible Group

The strategic axis One Group aims for (i) consolidating the group’s network (ii) Mobilising and federating expertise to multiply it and (iii) building on strong local roots, respectful of diversity.

◆  In 2023, the average maturity of the concession portfolio is stable at 32 years. [KPI 11]

◆  180 international routes were opened or reopened in 2023, and 76 routes were closed. Thus, the group has added  104 routes in the past year. [KPI 12]

◆  The project to digitalize passenger journey and customer experience is progressing in line with the Pioneers 2025 roadmap. The year 2023 was highlighted by a massive roll-out of automated digital check-in (commercialization of automated Self-Service Check-in Kiosks and Automated Baggage Drop-offs to airlines), as well as the deployment of Extime digital on Paris hubs. In addition, international hubs are following the same trend, with significant progress on digital passenger flow tracking and improved WiFi. [KPI 13]

Shared Dynamics - Innovate, support and empower

The strategic axis Shared dynamics aims for (i) promoting an innovative and agile approach in our projects, (ii) Attracting and retaining talents and (iii) developing a culture of responsibility promoting civic engagement of employees.  

◆  In 2023, 100% of AIG employees have been set a 5% CSR target "Extra Mile" included in their remuneration. In addition, 58% of TAV employees on the consolidated scope have been set the same "Extra Mile" CSR criterion, to participate in a CSR activity or initiative in line with the Airport for Trust roadmap. Achievement of this objective is reviewed annually. [KPI 18]

◆  Groupe ADP relaunched the sponsorship of senior skills at the beginning of 2023. This scheme enables employees, less than 2 years before their effective retirement, to make a part-time commitment to public-interest associations. Furthermore, in November 2023, Groupe ADP organized the second edition of the " Month of Civic Engagement". This highlight enabled Groupe ADP employees to get involved in collective actions around the issues of biodiversity, inclusion, education and professional integration. For this occasion, more than 300 (vs 177 employees in 2022) employees committed their working time to 10 associations. [KPI 19]

◆  In 2023, c. 94% of ADP SA's employees (vs. 90% in 2022) have received training in good ethical practices and compliance. [KPI 20]

2023 targets achievement

Reminder of traffic assumptions, forecasts and targets 2024-2025

As part of the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap communicated on February 16th, 2022, Groupe ADP has set out targets up to 2025. These targets have been built on the assumptions of no new restrictions or airport closures linked to the health crisis, of a stability of the economic model in Paris and of an absence of abnormally high volatility in terms of exchange rates and inflation rates. They have also been built on the basis of the consolidation scope at the end of 2021, with no assumption of changes up to 2025.

Approaching its 2019 traffic level in Paris and exceeding it internationally, while having already surpassed its 2019 consolidated EBITDA, the group expects to gradually return to growth rates close to those experienced before the Covid-19 crisis. In addition, the introduction of the new tax applicable to major transport infrastructure in France has an impact on the group's financial trajectory. For these reasons, Groupe ADP is updating its assumptions, forecasts and targets 2024 - 2025 and is returning to a selection of indicators allowing for a direct reading of the evolution of its performance, without reference to 2019. The assumptions, forecasts AND targets and are summarized below. Previous assumptions, forecasts and targets are listed in Appendix 6 of this release.

It is specified that any further changes to the assumptions on which the group's targets are based could have an impact on the volume of traffic and the 2025 Pioneers financial indicators.

Appendix 4 Evolution of tariffs at Paris Aéroport 

By its decision n°2024-001 of December 8^th, 2022, published on February 12^th, 2023, the ART has approved the airport fees for Aéroports de Paris for the tariff period from April 1^st, 2024, to March 31^st, 2025. The approved proposal translates into an average tariff increase by +4.5% for Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports, mainly driven by passenger-based charges. The changes are differentiated by fee, with an average increase by +6.7% in the fee per passenger, an average increase by +1.5% in the landing fee, and an average decrease by -0.3% in the parking fee.

For Paris-Le Bourget airport, the average increase in fees is around +5.4%, resulting from a +5% increase in landing fees, a change in the noise modulation coefficients for group 6 aircraft applicable to this same fee, a +5.4% increase in parking fees, and a +1.5% increase in fees for the provision of airport circulation permits.

Aéroports de Paris's proposal included initial changes in cost accounting, for which ART invited Aéroports de Paris to complete its analyses by the end of the transitional period on December 31, 2025. In addition, the ART confirmed that the part of the long-distance transport infrastructure tax, created by the finance law for 2024, that was included in Aéroports de Paris' tariff proposal could indeed be covered by airport fees. Lastly, in its tariff approval decision, ART specified that it had estimated the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) at 4.5% for the regulated scope.

Please note that the applicable fees are available on the company's website.
