Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris, said:

"The results for 2015 are in line with our forecasts. 2015 was marked by the achievement of our 2011-2015 targets and by the presentation of our 2016-2020 strategy, Connect 2020.

Since 2011, we have put the satisfaction of our customers – passengers and airlines – at the heart of our concerns and have outperformed our targets in terms of quality of service. Moreover, in line with our ambition, we have become the European reference in terms of Corporate Social Responsibility in our sector.

Traffic at our Paris airports, our main development driver, was dynamic with average annual growth of 2.7% between 2011 and 2015. Our strategy for retail activities was crowned with success, with a sales/PAX at €19.7, above our 2015 target of €19. Our financial discipline and our operational robustness led to a 34% increase in EBITDA since 2009 and growth in the net result attributable to the Group of 6.9% in 2015 compared to 2014.

2016 marks the start of a new cycle, with our strategic plan Connect 2020, in keeping with our focus on optimisation, attractiveness and growth. Based on a traffic growth assumption of 2.3%, we expect in 2016, compared to 2015, a slight increase in EBITDA, in compliance with our 2016–2020 trajectory of EBITDA growth and an increase in net result attributable to the Group above or equal to 10%, including in particular the capital gain of the current headquarters disposal."

During its meeting on 16 February 2016, the Board of Directors approved the social and consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2015. The Board of Directors decided to propose a dividend payment of €2.61 per share for 2015, reduced by the interim dividend for 2015 of €0.70/share, paid out on 10 December 2015, at the next Annual Shareholders General Meeting, to be held on 3 May 2016. Subject to the approval of the Annual General Meeting, the exdividend date would be on 31 May 2016, and payment would be made on 2 June 2016. This dividend corresponds to a payout ratio of 60% of the 2015 net income attributable to the Group, unchanged since the 2014 financial year. As a reminder, the payout ratio was increased from 50% to 60% in 2013, for the 2012 financial year dividends.

Implementation of a new accounting management model of new modelmodel

In order to simplify the readability of accounting segment performance and to optimize the allocation of internal exchanges, Aéroports de Paris put in place a new accounting management model that has been applied since 1 January 2015. This new accounting management system consists in:

  • A presentation of the P&L by segment by nature for all revenue and costs,
  • A review and a simplification of allocation for revenue and costs of transversal activities,
  • A review and a simplification of the allocation of overheads by segment.

This new accounting management system does not have any impact on consolidated key financial metrics.

Application of the interpretation of the IFRIC 21 norm

The application of the interpretation of the IFRIC 21 norm makes mandatory the recognition of a liability in respect of taxes at the date of the event that generates the liability (and not according to the basis for calculating these taxes) and leads to a restatement of some taxes previously spread over the period. Taxes affected by this restatement at Group level are Property Tax (taxe foncière), the Office Tax in Ile-de-France (taxe sur les bureaux en Ile de France) and the Company's Social Solidarity Contribution (contribution sociale de solidarité des sociétés) and are accounted for in Group operating expenses. 2014 first half adjusted net income share of the Group is thus reduced by €20 million compared to the published net income share of the Group, affected by:

  • An impact of €42 million on operating expenses due to the full recognition as at 30 June 2014 of taxes outlined above;
  • An impact of +€14 million on income tax;
  • An impact of +€2 million on employees' profit sharing.

This restatement generates an impact on the 2014 first half EBITDA of the segments, broken down as follows:

  • €21 million on the Aviation segment,
  • €12 million on the Retail & Services segment,
  • €1 million on the Real Estate segment.

Reverse effects will be observed over the second half. This restatement has then no impact on 2014 full year accounts.

Other changes changes

Moreover, another change was the direct offsetting of capitalised production (formerly accounted for between revenue and expenses) decreasing referring costs.

  • In 2014, capitalised production amounted to €79 million, which is now broken down in lower staff expenses and other costs;
  • As at 30 June 2014, capitalised production amounted to €42 million, which is now split between a reduction in staff expenses (€28 million) and a reduction in other costs (€14 million).

The Group has also reclassified some staff training expenses to the amount of €3 million over the first half of 2014. These expenses relating to staff training, conducted by an external organization and regarded as having a counterparty for the Group were previously accounted for in "Taxes other than income taxes", and are now accounted for in "External services".
