Groupe ADP 2019 full-year results1
(1). The figures take into account the full consolidation of Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire and of Relay@ADP results since April 2019, and AIG results since April 2018.
(2) Revenue and operating expenses of TAV Istanbul for 2018 and 2019 are presented on a separate line on the income statement as "net income from discontinued activities", in accordance with the IFRS 5 standard. Therefore, consolidated revenue, EBITDA and operating income of the Group don't take into account the activity of Istanbul Atatürk airport in 2018 and 2019 anymore. Furthermore, the line "net income from discontinued activities" includes as well the profit following the announcement by Turkish authorities of the compensation due to TAV Airports for the early closure of Atatürk airport, after taxes and the impact of corresponding assets disposal (for €31M before elimination of non-controlling interests)(see the press release from 26 December 2019).
