(b) As of 30 June 2020, Groupe ADP accounts the results of the GMR Airports group using the equity method following the acquisition of an initial 24.99% stake in GMR Airports in March 2020. The results of the GMR Airports group will be accounted by the equity method at 49% from July 2020, following the acquisition by Groupe ADP of a second stake bringing the total stakeholding to 49% of the share capital of GMR Airports (see the press releases of 20 and 26 February, and 7 July 2020).
Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris SA - Groupe ADP, stated:
"Over the 1st half of the year, group traffic fell by 57.5%, with a total of 48.2 million passengers, and that of Paris Aéroport by 62.2%, with 19.8 million passengers. The months of April and May saw almost no traffic and the recovery in traffic was slow in June and July. The entirety of the group's activities were strongly affected from March onwards: consolidated revenue fells by 46.5% over the 1st half of the year to €1,168 million. EBITDA remains positive at €39 million thanks to the first effects of an optimization plan introduced throughout the group. Net result attributable to the Group stood at -€543 million, due in particular to significant depreciations abroad and in the retail and services impacted by the crisis.
In this context, the priority of the group was to ensure the safety of its employees and customers. It has thus played a key role in managing the health crisis. Groupe ADP has succeeded to stabilize its financial situation. Moreover, the group has concluded the acquisition of a stake in the Indian airport group GMR Airports, in downward revised conditions to take into account the pandemic impact, paving the way to a new industrial partnership which will be a growth driver for the future. This is the first time in 50 years that air traffic has experienced a downturn this abrupt and it is established that the recovery will be very gradual: a return to the 2019 traffic level in Paris is anticipated between 2024 and 2027. This crisis brings structural economic effects on air transport with a persistent public health threat. In this new operational and financial environment, Groupe ADP is going to review its strategic orientations in order to provide the company with the capacity to return to profitable and sustainable growth ".
