FINANCIAL RELEASE¹

Tremblay-en-France, April 26^th, 2023

Aéroports de Paris SA
Strong increase in revenue in Q1 2023
Solid traffic recovery, in line with group assumptions,
strong dynamic in retail in Paris

Consolidated revenue standing at €1,194M in Q1 2023, up +40.7% compared to the same period in 2022, which was still impacted by health restrictions.

• Aviation and International & airport developments segments are driven by the continued recovery of traffic in Paris (+44.6%, at 88.7% of 2019 level) and abroad, especially in TAV airports (+41.9%, at 94.7% of 2019 traffic level).
  • Retail & Services segment record a solid growth, benefiting of traffic recovery in Paris, the strong increase in Paris Sales/Pax Extime², at 30.3 euros for the 1^st quarter of 2023, and a larger number of opened sales points compared to the same period in 2022.
  • Real Estate segment is increasing, notably supported by additional rental income from assets taken over in full ownership during 2022.

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

"The traffic recovery dynamic that began last year continued in the 1^st quarter of 2023. In line with our traffic assumptions, we welcomed 69 million passengers across our airports' network, including 21 million in Paris. Groupe ADP's hospitality expertise in Paris and abroad was again recognized through the 2023 Skytrax ranking: Paris-Charles de Gaulle was voted world's 5^th best airport in quality of service and five airports of the group are ranked among the world's 100 best airports. Extime Paris Sales/Pax is up sharply. This momentum in all business segments is driving revenue to 1,194 million euros, up +40.7% compared to the same period in 2022. Groupe ADP's teams are committed to deliver the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap, which aims at welcoming our passengers at best, while placing the decarbonization of our business at the heart of our new airport model, for the benefit of all our stakeholders."

Comments on group news

Contemplated merger between GIL & GAL

Following the announcement of the agreement between Groupe ADP and GMR Enterprises to form an airport holding company listed on Indian Stock Exchange by the first half of 2024 (see press release of March 19^th, 2023), some preparatory steps to the contemplated merger have been realized during 1^st quarter 2023:

• Groupe ADP subscribed to 330,817 bonds of Foreign Currency Convertible Bonds (FCCBs), issued by GMR Airports Infrastructure Ltd (GIL) and allocated on 24^th March 2023, for a total of 331 million euros.
• Groupe ADP also proceeded to the early settlement of earn-outs, for a total of 62 million euros. Initial impact of this payment, negative on group's net debt in the 1^st half of 2023 will be gradually neutralized by the extinction of the liabilities associated with these earnouts over the period until the completion of the contemplated merger.

• Furthermore, on 12 April 2023, GIL has submitted the merger application for approval to BSE Limited and National Stock Exchange of India Limited, the Indian financial markets where GIL is currently listed, and to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI)
  
  

Renewal of Ankara Airport concession agreement

Following the success of TAV Airports in the auction for the renewal of Ankara Airport concession agreement for 2025-2050 period (see press release of December 20^th, 2022), TAV Airports signed the 1^st February 2023 the concession agreement with the Turkish Sate Airports Authority (DHMI). At this purpose, TAV Airports is going to pay by 1^st May 2023, the sum of 119 million euros owed to DHMI, representing 25% of the concession rental.

Works on expansion capacities of the airport will be conducted during the 2^nd quarter 2023. As a reminder, necessary investments are planned at around 300 million euros of which two thirds will be conducted between 2023 and 2026 and the remaining third to be engaged by 2038.

Ranking results of Skytrax 2023

In 2023, 5 airports of the group are among the 100 best airports in the world in terms of service quality according to the Skytrax World Airport Awards.

Paris-Charles de Gaulle retains its position as the best airport in Europe and is now the 5^th best airport in the world (compared to 6^th in 2022). Paris-Orly continues its progression, ranking 39^th in the world (against 46^th in 2022 and 76^th in 2021).

Introduction of a waiting time barometer for borders controls in Paris

Groupe ADP has initiated, in collaboration with the French Border Police, the implementation of a barometer of waiting time at borders controls in our Parisian airports (see press release of March 29^th, 2023).

It will report monthly the percentage of passengers who waited less than 10 minutes in Paris-CDG and Paris-Orly; the number of events resulting in waiting times of more than 30 minutes and will specify the reason for the most disruptive events; and lastly, will give details by terminal on the percentage of departing and arriving passengers who waited by 10-minute intervals. This tool will enable to measure, report and steer improvements.

The data is extracted from sensors installed in the border controls areas of our Parisian airports. This initiative is part of a global action plan conducted alongside the French Border Police to reduce waiting times at borders controls (recruitment of contractual staff by this summer, reinforcement of PARAFE (Automated Rapid Crossing of External Borders)...) and, as a result, improve the quality of service and contribute to the performance of the Parisian platforms.

Regulated scope performance in 2022⁶

As of 31 December 2022, the regulated ROCE, stood at 4.67%, against -3.47% as of 31 December 2021. It corresponds to the ratio between the operating income of the regulated scope⁷ less standard corporate tax and the regulated asset base and is used to assess the performance of the regulated scope as per Article L. 6325-1 of the Transportation Code.

The operating income of the regulated scope for was of 365 million euros, before tax against - 204 million euros in 2021.

The sum of the regulated asset base, corresponding to the net book value of tangible and intangible assets relating to the regulated scope and the working capital requirement was 5,800 million euros as of 31 December 2022 against 5,870 million euros as of 31 December 2021.

Detail of consolidated revenue - 1^st quarter 2023

Evolution of revenue by segment

Analysis by segment

Aviation – Parisian platforms

Over the 1^st quarter of 2023, the aviation segment revenue, which relates solely to the airport activities carried out by Aéroports de Paris as operator of the Parisian platforms, was up +33.4% to 430 million euros.

Revenue from airport fees (passenger fees, landing fees and aircraft parking fees) up +39.7%, to 247 million euros due to:

• Increase of +51.0% of revenue from passenger fees, linked to: the growth of passenger traffic (+44.6%), the increase of international share of traffic (see geographical breakdown traffic in page 8) and the increase of +1.54% of passenger fees tariffs compared to 2021⁸ tariffs period;
• Increase of +29.7% of revenue from landing fees, linked to the increase in aircrafts movements (+23.0%);
• Increase of +17.9% of revenue from parking fees, linked to the increase in aircrafts movements (+23.0%).
  
  

Revenue from ancillary fees was up +47.3%, to 59 million euros, linked to the increase of passenger traffic.

As a reminder the tariffs changes of applicable fees for Parisian platforms are presented in appendix 2 of this release as well as on the company's website.

Revenue from airport safety and security services was up +18.1%, to 116 million euros. These revenues are determined by the partially fixed costs of these activities, revenues are growing at a lower rate than passenger traffic.

Other income, mostly consisting in re-invoicing the French Air Navigation Services Division, leasing associated with the use of terminals and other work services made for third parties are up +13.8%, to 9 million euros.

Retail and services – Parisian platforms

Over the 1^st quarter of 2023, revenue from the segment Retail and services, which includes only Parisian activities, was up +42.3%, to 384 million euros.

Revenue from retail activities consists in 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. Over 1^st quarter 2023, revenue from retail activities was up +62.4%, to 234 million euros, including Extime Duty Free Paris, up +52.3%, to 159 million euros. This increase is due to:

• Increase of passenger traffic at Paris Aéroport (+44.6%);
• Increase of +16.5% of Extime Paris Sales/Pax, at 30.3 euros. This increase is driven by structural effects: the unfolding of Extime retail strategy, the reopening of Terminal 1 at Paris-Charles de Gaulle in December 2022 and the increasing share of international traffic, as well as by conjunctural effects in the 1^st quarter of 2023: the effect from Inflation and favorable foreign exchange rates, and the impact from strikes, which notably reduced the share of domestic traffic.

As a reminder, revenue from airside area activities is perceived in integrality when it is generated by fully consolidated companies and partially, as a variable rents, when it is generated by third-party lessees or companies accounted for under the equity method;

• Increase of opened sales points compared to 1^st quarter 2022, which was still affected by health restrictions.
  
  

Revenue from car parks services, up +35.6%, to 38 million euros, due to increase in traffic.

Revenue from industrial services (supply of electricity and water), up +10.0%, to 55 million euros, linked to the reopening of infrastructure in Paris compared to 1^st quarter 2022.

Rental revenues (leasing of spaces within terminals), up +16.7%, to 39 million euros, due to the increase of terminals and open areas compared to 1^st quarter 2022.

Other revenues (primarily constituted of internal services), up +25.2%, to 17 million euros.

Real Estate – Parisian platforms

Over the 1^st quarter of 2023, real estate revenue, which includes only Parisian activities, stood at 93 million euros, up +9.6%.

External revenue, realized with third parties (outside of the group), stood at 81 million euros, up +11.0% compared to 1^st quarter 2022, especially due to additional rents related to assets return to full ownership in 2022 and the effect of indexation clauses on rents.

International and airports developments

Over the 1^st quarter of 2023, revenue from International and airport developments stood at 321 million euros, up +56.6%, mainly due to the increase in revenue for TAV Airports and AIG.

AIG's revenue was up +30.5%, to 61 million euros, mainly due to the effect of passenger traffic increase of +55.1% recorded in Amman on revenues from aeronautical fees.

TAV Airports' revenue was up +68.7%, to 250 million euros, mainly due to the effect of the traffic increase of +41.9% of TAV Airports on revenue:

• Turkish assets of TAV Airports, especially Izmir, for +4.0 million euros (+39.5%) and Ankara, for +1.8 million euros (+28.8%);
• International assets of TAV Airports, especially in Almaty, for +50.6 million euros (+110.5%) and in Georgia, for +5.1 million euros (+31.8%);
• Services companies of TAV Airports, especially Havas (ground handling), for +14.8 million euros (+55.5%), due to the increase of flights served, BTA (bars and restaurants) for +12.4 million euros (+77.9%) and TAV OS (airport lounge) for +9.7 million euros (+96.4%), due to the increase in attendance.
  
  

Other activities

Over the 1^st quarter of 2023, other activities segment products stood at 44 million euros, up +20.4%.

This change is mainly due to the 5 million euro increase in Hub One revenue, as a result of an increase in activity and a perimeter effect of 1.4 million euros, linked to the acquisition in October 2022 of ID Services, a digital technology operator for businesses.

Evolution of 1^er quarter 2023 traffic

Groupe⁹ traffic

Traffic at Paris Aéroport

Over the 1^st quarter 2023, traffic at Paris Aéroport up +44.6% with a total of 21.0 million of passengers (+47.8% excluding strikes in 2023), at 88.7% of traffic on the same period in 2019 (90.7% excluding strikes in 2023).

At Paris Aéroport, 1^st quarter 2023 traffic was impacted by social movements (strikes): the loss of traffic is estimated at approximately 470,000 passengers, of which 390,000 in March.

The geographical breakdown of passenger traffic appears in the table below.

Number of aircrafts movements at Paris Aéroport, up +23.0%, at 141,758 movements, of which 98,591 movements at Paris-Charles de Gaulle, up +26.8%, at 88.0% of 2019 level, and 43,167 movements at Paris-Orly, up +15.1%, at 85.4% of 2019 level.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since the traffic release of December and the year 2022, the geographical breakdown at Paris Aéroports within this release as well as in the historical data used for variation and recovery calculations are aligned with the different categories applicable to airport fees. It presents the detailed breakdown of the "Europe" traffic into three categories: "Schengen Area" traffic, "United Kingdom & UE excluding Schengen " traffic, and "Other Europe" traffic. Traffic with "French overseas territories", is presented separately from the "International" traffic, in which it was included until the November 2022 traffic release. It is reminded that airports fees applicable to these different categories are available on the company website.

Reminder of traffic assumptions, forecasts and targets 2023-2025

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.

Based on the passengers' traffic and the results recorded in 2022, the salary increase measures starting in 2023 as well as the evolution of the macroeconomic context (foreign exchanges rates, inflation, energy prices), Groupe ADP refined¹³ its traffic assumptions in Paris in 2023 and adjusted some 2023-2025 forecasts and targets.

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.
