Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Groupe ADP, stated:
"2022 is a year marked by strong growth in Groupe ADP's results. We have welcomed more than 280 million passengers in our entire airport network. In Paris, we have welcomed close to 87 million passengers, more than twice than in 2021. The strong recovery in traffic has been an operational and human challenge and a want to thank our employees and partners for their mobilization. In Paris, Retail & Services activities recorded an outstanding growth, driven by an Extime Paris Sales per Pax2 reaching 27.4 euros, up +4.0 euros (+16.9%) compared to 2019, and up 2.1 euros (+8.2%) compared to 2021.
This solid performance translates into an EBITDA of 1,704 million euros, with an EBITDA margin of 36.4% of revenue, in the upper part of the target range. Groupe ADP returns to a solid net result, at 516 million euros, leading to propose to the General Meeting a 3.13 euros dividend per share, equivalent to a payout of 60% of the net result attributable to the group. All the 2022 targets have been met or exceeded. Based on an adjusted financial trajectory for the 2023-2025 period, Groupe ADP confirms its commitment to continue deleveraging its balance sheet, targeting a Net Debt to EBITDA ratio lowered again to 3.5x to 4.5x EBITDA in 2025 (the previous target was 4.5x to 5.0x EBITDA), including selective international growth projects.
In 2023, all Groupe ADP teams will continue to be mobilized for the ecological transition of our industry and to welcome travelers in our airports even better. This ambition is set out in our 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap, serving all our stakeholders."
The 2022 Full-year results have been approved by the Board of Directors of February 15th, 2023 and examined by the Audit committee on February 9th, 2023. The audit procedures of the consolidated financial statements by the auditors have been realized.

Highlights
Successful launch of the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap
In 2022, Groupe ADP has adopted a 2022-2025 strategic roadmap to build the foundation of a new airport model geared towards sustainability and performance, in line with societal and environmental expectations. (see press release of February 16th, 2022).
The "2025 Pioneers" strategic roadmap defines the priority transformation actions for the 2022-2025 period and sets 20 objectives up to 2025, structured around 3 strategic priorities:
- An industrial ambition: One ambition, "imagining the sustainable airport of tomorrow"
- A multi-local approach: One Group, "build a global, integrated and responsible group"
- A collective dynamic: Shared dynamics, "innovate, support and empower"
At the end of this first year of deployment, the successful launch of the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap materializes into the launch of concrete actions contributing to the objectives set for 2025. (See the table of the 20 objectives on page 19 of this release).
Mandatory annual negotiations (Négociations annuelles obligatoires "NAO"): signing of a salary increase agreement for the employees of Aéroports de Paris SA
As part of the Mandatory annual negotiations and following meetings held with the representative trade unions, the group has announced to the employees of Aéroports de Paris SA the signing of a salary increase agreement.
This agreement notably includes, as of January 1st, 2023, a general increase of base salaries, of 2% for executives (French "cadres") and 3% for non-executives (French "non-cadres"), followed by an increase of 1% for executives as of July 1st, 2023, being an increase of at least €100 in the monthly gross base salary for all employees of Aéroports de Paris SA. The impact of these new measures is estimated at €15 million for the year 2023.
This agreement is coupled with an exceptional value-sharing bonus, to be paid to all employees in April 2023 (already recognized in the 2022 Full-year accounts) and a commitment to initiate negotiations in 2023 regarding the remuneration structure for executive employees.
Situation in international assets
In 2022, some of the Group's international assets that had been weakened by the Covid crisis have continued to hold discussions with their counterparties (conceding authorities, banks…) aimed at maintaining their financial and operational viability. Depending on the situation, these assets requested concession term extensions and debt restructurings.
Regarding TAV Airports, a two-year concession extension was obtained on June 17th, 2022 for the airports of Skopje and Ohrid, in North Macedonia.
Regarding Santiago de Chile, a debt restructuring agreement was reached with the lenders on October 21st, 2022. In addition, initiatives towards the Chilean authorities are continuing aiming at restoring the economic balance of the project. Furthermore, the claim filed by the Group with the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) against the Chilean State under the bilateral treaty between France and Chile on the protection of foreign investments (ICSID No. ARB/21/40 dated August 13th, 2021) is ongoing.
Moreover, Airport International Group (AIG), the concession company for Amman airport in Jordan, is holding active discussions with its conceding authority to achieve the economic and financial rebalancing of the concession, including the negotiation of a duration extension. A restructuring of the commitments towards the lenders is being carried out at the same time.
In Madagascar, discussions are ongoing with the lenders to amend certain conditions of the project company's loans.
As a result, the Groupe ADP may be required to provide financial support to these airport management companies in which it is a shareholder. The support that may arise from restructuration discussions is estimation, globally, at a maximum of 20 million euros in 2023. In addition, in the event of a failure in negotiations aiming at rebalancing some of its international concessions' situation, the group may be led to take decisions, which could go as far as withdrawing from the project.

Overall, the impact of inflation on operating expenses of ADP SA has been limited so far, most of the contracts signed with providers including price increase clauses that are not directly linked to inflation or that include fixed prices.
The distribution of the group's operating expenses was as follows:
- Consumables stood at 755 million euros, up +372 million euros, mainly due to:
- The increase of 190 million euros for TAV Airports, of which 137 million are due to the full consolidation of the Almaty airport in Kazakhstan management company in TAV Airports' accounts since May 2021;
- The increase of 148 million euros at the retail subsidiaries (Extime Duty Free Paris and Relay@ADP) due to the mechanical increase in costs in line with the increase in revenues.
- External services stood at 1,106 million euros, up 317 million euros, due to:
- The increase in expenses related to subcontracting for +140 million euros, in particular in safety, due to the traffic recovery and the reopening of the infrastructures in Paris that were still closed in 2021;
- The increase in expenses related to other services and external expenses for +139 million euros, in particular because of the mechanical increase in the concession rent in Amman for +57 million euros, due to the increase in revenue of AIG.
- Employee benefits costs stood at 862 million euros, up 123 million euros. They include:
- An increase in employee benefits costs of TAV Airports for 79 million euros, due to increase of salaries in Turkey in 2022 compared to 2021 and the effect of full consolidation of Almaty since May 2021;
- An increase in employee benefits costs of retail subsidiaries at Paris (Extime Duty Free Paris & Relay@ADP) for 26 million euros;
- The 20 million euros impact relating to, on the one hand, ADP SA's employees salary increases effective since July 1st, 20229, and on the other hand, exceptional value-sharing bonuses paid in November 2022 and to be paid in April 2023, offset by the reversal of a 20 million euros provision for employee benefits (related to the termination of the defined benefit pension plan, referred to as "article 39").
- Taxes other than income taxes stood at 233 million euros, up +38 million euros, due to the increase of tax expense related to the increase in security activities, linked to traffic recovery, and the increase of the CET10 expense, linked the added value increase, partially offset by property tax rebates linked to infrastructure closures in Paris, mainly in 2020;
- Other operating expenses stood at 114 million euros, up +37 million euros.
Other income and expenses represented a net product of 87 million euros, down -69 million euros compared to 2021, the unfavorable base effect related to the return to full ownership of certain buildings on the Paris platforms in 2021 for +109 million euros, partially offset by a provision reversal recorded in 2022 following an international impairment recorded in 2021.

Operating income from ordinary activities stood at -936 million euros, up +965 million euros, driven by the EBITDA increase for +953 million euros, as well as by the improvement of the results from equity-accounted companies for +75 million euros, at 14 million euros, notably due to:
- The performance of TAV Airports' equity-accounted companies, in particular ATU and TGS, services companies respectively specialized in Duty Free and Ground Handling;
- The reclassification of Royal Schiphol Group, whose results are not accounted for since June 30th, 2021;

Operating income stood at 988 million euros, up +1,008 million euros compared to 2021, due to the increase in operating income from ordinary activities and the reversal of a provision for 56 million euros, recorded in 2020.
Financial result stood at -224 million euros, down -6 million euros, mainly due to mainly due to the unfavorable base effect linked to the restructuration of TAV Tunisia's debt, for a net gain of 109 million euros in 2021, partially offset by the gain, for 46 million euros, from the disposal of Royal Schiphol Group stake and the decrease in the cost of gross debt for 41 million euros.
The income tax expense stood at 172 million euros in 2022, compared to a tax expense of 8 million euros in 2021, due to the return to a positive income before tax.
Net income stood at 591 million euros in 2022, up +839 million euros compared to 2021.
Given all these items, net income attributable to the group is up +764 million euros compared to 2021, at 516 million euros.
Cash and investments
As 31 December 2022, the Groupe ADP had cash position of 2.6 billion euros. In 2022, cash is up +253 million euros due to the increase in operating cash-flows, linked to the recovery of activities, standing at 1,553 million euros and the disposal of the stake in Royal Schiphol Group for 420 million euros and despite the bond repayment in February 2022 for 400 million euros and the capital injection by TAV Airports into the new Antalya concession, in which it is a shareholder alongside Fraport.
In view of this available cash and its forecasts for 2023, the group has liquidity that it considers satisfactory in the current sanitary and economic context and to meet its operating needs and financial commitments.
Tangible and intangible investments stood at 695 million euros in 2022, compared to 527 million euros in 2021.
Financial debt
Groupe ADP's net financial debt stood at 7,440 million euros as of December 31st, 2022, compared to 8,011 million euros as of December 31st, 2021. As of December 31st, 2022, debt ratio stood at 4.4x EBITDA (4.6x EBITDA excluding the proceeds of 420 million euros from the disposal by Groupe ADP of the stake it held in Royal Schiphol Group), compared to 10.7x EBITDA at the end of 2021.
Given the confidence of investors in the solidity of its financial model and with its long-term credit rating (A negative outlook by Standard and Poor's since March 25th, 2020, confirmed on December 21st, 2022), the Groupe ADP is taking care to ensure that, in the event of a significant deterioration in the economic and health context, it would be able to meet its commitments and have recourse to additional financing.

Precisions following the announcement made on Monday January 9th, 2023, by the French Competition Authority
French Competition Authority has announced, on Monday, January 9th, 2023, the opening of an in-depth examination phase in the context of the proposed sale of by Aéroports de Paris ("Groupe ADP") of a 50% stake in Extime Food & Beverage Paris to Select Service Partner ("SSP"). In its January 10th, 2023, presse release, Groupe ADP specified that the joint venture model is commonly used by many airports around the world, and that the Groupe ADP itself has been using it for more than a decade. By relying on the expertise of an industrial partner, this model has contributed to the development of the Group's various retail and food & beverage activities. In this context, Groupe ADP had launched a call for tenders in April 2021 to seek a co-shareholder in Extime Food & Beverage Paris. Select Service Partner (SSP) was chosen at the end of this procedure with the aim of acquiring, subject to the authorization of the competition authority, 50% of the capital of Extime Food & Beverage Paris along Aéroports de Paris (see press release of October 25, 2021).
During this process, the food and beverage activities in Paris will continue to be operated not only through Extime Food & Beverage Paris, operating c.30 sales points in Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly Airports, but also by other operators, including EPIGO joint-venture implemented in 2016.

As reminded by the French Competition Authority in its press release, the opening of this procedure does not presume the existence of possible competition problems, nor the outcome of this procedure. In any event, should this project not be implemented in the form envisaged here, Groupe ADP will retain full control of its commercial system in order to adapt it to passenger demand and contribute to the achievement of its profitable growth objectives.

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 increases measures from 2023 as well as the evolution of the macroeconomic context (foreign exchanges rates, inflation, energy prices), Groupe ADP refined its traffic assumptions in Paris in 2023 and adjusts some 2023-2025 forecasts and targets.
The updated targets are market in blue in the following table

The successful start of the "2025 Pioneers" roadmap is illustrated by several examples of actions whose deployment began in 2022 and whose first 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.
- The work carried out in 2022 will enable the implementation, from 2023 onwards, of a punctuality management system for aircraft at the Paris airports. It will be organized in coordination with the various stakeholders, in particular the airlines, with the establishment of a Punctuality Committee that will decide, if necessary, on corrective actions to be deployed as part of a continuous improvement process [KPI 1]
- In 2022, the group launched work on the development of a tool to budget the carbon impact of investment projects, initially tested at its Paris hubs (in 2023) and intended to be extended to TAV's airports (in 2024) for widespread use in 2025. The emissions taken into account in this tool are those linked to construction, maintenance or renovation, heating and cooling energy consumption, electricity consumption and demolition of structures.[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 June 23, 2022. Paris-Charles de Gaulle was voted "Best European Airport" and is now ranked 6th in the Top 100 best airports in the world (up 9 places). Paris-Orly moved up 27 places to 46th place worldwide. 3 airports belonging to the group's international network are still in the top 100 worldwide: Delhi, Hyderabad and Medina. [KPI 5]
- After several months of modernization work, Terminal 1 reopened its doors to passengers on December 5, 2022. Closed since March 30, 2020 due to the Covid crisis, its reopening is accompanied by the unveiling of a brand new nodal building and a new, innovative passenger pathway, which fully embody Groupe ADP's quality of service and hospitality requirements. The new boarding lounge is a concept of the Groupe ADP's hospitality brand, Extime. Designed on a human scale, it guarantees a maximum journey time of 6 minutes from the end of security checks to the boarding gate. In 2023, the group aims to deploy the Extime brand in Terminal 2 link B-D as well as its marketplace and loyalty program (www.extime.com). [KPI 6]
- Several infrastructure projects to facilitate access to the Paris airports are under development and will continue in 2023: work on the Paris-Orly multimodal station, work on the CDG Express tunnel, feasibility studies for the creation of three bus lines from Paris-CDG serving the Val d'Oise department, as well as the signing of the agreement for the Roissy-Picardie line. [KPI 7]
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 2022, the average maturity of the concession portfolio is 32 years. The renewal of the Ankara airport concession won by TAV Airports on December 20, 2022, to increase the capacity of this airport in exchange for the right to operate it until May 2050, contributes to the objective of stability in the maturity of the portfolio. [KPI 11]
- 300 international routes were opened or reopened in 2022, and 40 routes were closed. Thus, the group has added 260 routes in the past year [KPI 12].
- In order to increase the proportion of purchases made with local companies, including small companies, studies were carried out in 2022 to ensure that calls for tenders of less than 100,000 euros are more easily directed towards the smallest companies, as well as towards companies located within a radius of less than 150 km from Paris [KPI 15]
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 2022, Groupe ADP experimented with 86 innovation projects, six of which were the subject of industrialization work, including [KPI 16]:
- vertiports for flying cabs: March 21, 2022 saw the inauguration of the first piloted flight tests of Volocopter's e-VTOL (Electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing) on the experimental zone dedicated to new aerial mobilities at the Pontoise Cormeilles-en-Vexin airfield. The vertiport model currently being designed meets the challenges of a more sustainable development of our infrastructures as well as the challenges of modularity, agility and adaptability in an airport context that is restrictive in terms of space and air integration, and a dynamic market with a notable growth trend after 2030.
- Low carbon impact urban cool islands at Paris-Orly: following the redevelopment of the Orly 4 drop-off point, the first stages of the greening and development of the Orly 4 forecourt with the installation of green corollas by the start-up Urban Canopee have been visible since the end of 2022. The aim of this project is to create pedestrian walkways with pergolas to combat urban heat islands.
- On December 6, 2022, Groupe ADP bought back 296,882 of its own shares (c. 0.3% of the share capital) at a unit price of133 euros. This share buyback was carried out within the framework of the share buyback program authorized by the 6th resolution voted by the General Shareholders' Meeting of May 17, 2022. It is intended to cover any allocation of Groupe ADP performance shares and/or allocation of shares in the context of an employee shareholding operation. [KPI 17]
- Signed on June 13, 2022 by the unanimous agreement of the representative trade unions, the profit-sharing agreement set up by the group for the employees of ADP SA covers a three-year period from 2022 to 2024. The payment of the profit-sharing bonus is conditional on the achievement of five objectives linked to the Pioneers 2025 strategic plan. The objectives relate to improving economic performance (EBITDA/Group revenue ratio), quality of service (departing passenger satisfaction rating) and corporate social responsibility (number of days of civic engagement carried out by employees during their working hours, reduction of CO2 emissions, rate of completion of ethics and compliance training by employees). This collective performance incentive agreement is unprecedented, at ADP SA in the importance it gives to ESG criteria. [KPI 18]
- Groupe ADP has established a partnership agreement with the city of Wissous (Paris Aera) to offer skills sponsorship to Paris-Orly employees (up to 5 days per year through the ADP Foundation) with the aim of working on fauna and flora inventories, on the city's ecological management plan and on its biodiversity strategy. For the first time, Groupe ADP also organized the "Month of Civic Engagement", which took place in November 2022, with collective actions offered to employees around the issues of the environment, education and professional integration: nearly 200 employees were involved in this event. [KPI 19]
- In 2022, c. 90% of ADP SA's employees have received training in good ethical practices and compliance. [KPI 20]
