Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris SA - Groupe ADP, stated:
"Groupe ADP traffic's, excluding Istanbul Atatürk, increased by 3.1% over the 1st half-year of 2019, with an increase of 4.8% of traffic at Paris Aéroport. Taking into account the Istanbul Atatürk airport, the groupe traffic has dropped by 10.3% because of the closure of this airport on 6 April 2019. EBITDA reached €764 million, up to 10.9% compared to 2018 1st half-year and net result increased by 22% at €250 million. During the 1st half-year, the Paris-Orly junction building, major infrastructure project of the 2016-2020 economic regulation agreement, was commissioned: it came with a new toponymy of a single terminal. ADP proposal for the next 2021-2025 economic regulation contract was published in a public consultation document in April and consultations have begun. Furthermore, the CDG Express project took a step forward with the confirmation by the Minister for Transport of its achievement despite a gap of calendar to end of 2025. Groupe ADP is following its trajectory and is revising upward some of its objectives for 2019".

Following the acquisition of a 49%-stake in Antalya airport, traffic of this airport is 100%-included since January 2018 for the need of the analysis, while TAV Airports only has included Antalya traffic since May 2018.
(4). In April 2019, Groupe ADP reviewed its links with Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire, Relay@ADP and MZLZ-TRGOVINA D.o.o (Société de Distribution Aéroportuaire Croatia) and considers controlling these entities since then. Booked until this date with the equity method, these companies are since April 2019 fully consolidated.

Until 31st December 2018, the Group disclosed the share of profit or loss in associates and joint ventures on two separate lines "Share of profit or loss in associates and joint ventures from operating activities" and ""Share of profit or loss in associates and joint ventures from non-operating activities". For non-materiality reasons, the Group discloses since 1st January 2019 the share of profit or loss in associates and joint ventures on one single line included within the operating income.
(8). As a reminder, Istanbul Atatürk airport welcomed 16mpax between 01/01/2019 and 06/04/2019 which were not taken into account in TAV Airports' traffic growth assumption concerning 2019.
(9). TAV Airports' EBITDA guidance, underlying Group's EBITDA guidance, is built on the assumption the following exchange rate assumptions: EUR/TRY = 6.6, EUR/USD = 1.14.
(10). Following the Istanbul Ataturk airport end of operation on 6 April 2019 (see 8 April 2019 press release), the IFRS 5 standard "Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations" is applying to TAV Airports since this date. 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 anymore.
