"Growth in the Group's consolidated revenue over the first 9 months of 2015 was underpinned by the good performance of aviation and retail activities, with sales/PAX up sharply, by 10.5%, at €19.4. Summer traffic was marked by record days that enabled us to reach growth of 8.2% in the third quarter of 2015. Apart from the base effect linked to the Air France pilots' strike last September, the traffic has beneficiated from the dynamism of Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and North America regions. These recent developments have led us to revise upwards our 2015 traffic growth assumption—which is now expected to be above or equal to 3.0%, compared to 2014—and we are maintaining our target of EBITDA growth of between 30% and 35% in 2015, compared to 2009 as well as our target of a sales/PAX at €19 in 2015."

| Revenue from airport safety and security services | 366 | 354 | + 3.6 % |
| Other revenue | 29 | 33 | - 9.9 % |
Over the first 9 months of 2015, aviation segment revenue increased by 5.1%, to €1,314 million.
Revenue from airport fees (passenger fees, landing fees and aircraft parking fees) was up 5.5%, at €762 million, benefiting from the combined increase in tariffs (+2.95% on 1 April 2014, and +2.4% on 1 April 2015) and the growth in passenger traffic (+3.9%).
Revenue from ancillary fees was up 10.1%, at €156 million, primarily due to higher de-icing fees (+62.2%, at €11 million), as a consequence of a harsher winter in 2015, and to the fees linked to the availability of check-in counters (+6.0%, at €63 million). As a reminder, the number of de-iced aircrafts at Paris-Charles de Gaulle was up ninefold compared to the first quarter of 2014.
Revenue from airport safety and security services saw an increase of 3.6%, to €366 million, reflecting the growth in traffic.
Other revenue mostly consists in re-invoicing the French Air Navigation Services Division and leasing associated with the use of terminals. It decreased by 9.9%, to €29 million.

| Retail and services | 680 | 652 | + 4.3 % |

| Rental income | 103 | 105 | - 1.8 % |
| Other income | 25 | 21 | + 22.0 % |
Over the first 9 months of 2015, retail and services segment revenue increased by 4.3%, to €680 million.
Revenue from retail (rents received from shops, bars and restaurants, advertising, banking and foreign exchange activities, and car rental companies) grew by a strong 11.7%, to €326 million, over the first 9 months of 2015:
Within this segment, rents from airside shops stood at €234 million, up 13.2%, thanks to the growth in passenger traffic (+3.9%), particularly that of highly contributive destinations, and the increase in sales/PAX1 (+10.5%, at €19.4);
1 Sales at airside shops divided by the number of departing passengers
This performance is for the most part attributable to the growth in business at duty-free outlets; it translates i/ the growth in traffic of highly contributive destinations, ii/ the opening in the 4th quarter of 2014 of shops in the central square in Hall K at Terminal 2E and iii/ the positive foreign exchange effect on some currencies (the euro being at a low level compared to Chinese Yuan or US Dollar, for instance). Duty-free sales per passenger were, as a result, up a strong 12.9%, at €35.7. Moreover, revenue per passenger at Schengen area (duty-paid) outlets were up by 3.3%, at €7.2.
Revenue from car parks was down by 3.8 %, at €134 million, mainly because of the reduction in parking times.
Revenue from the provision of industrial services (electricity and water supply) decreased by 3.6%, to €93 million, due to the decline in internal re-invoicing.
Rental revenue (leasing of space within terminals) decreased by 1.8%, to €103 million.
Other revenue, consisting primarily of internal services, were up by 22.0%, at €25 million.

In order to simplify the readability of accounting segment performance and to optimise the allocation of internal exchanges, Aéroports de Paris has put in place a new accounting management system to be applied from 1 January 2015. This new accounting management model consists in:
This new accounting management system does not have any impact on key financial metrics.
Moreover, the other main change made was the direct offsetting of capitalised production (formerly accounted for between revenue and expenses) decreasing the costs involved. In 2014. capitalised production amounted to €79 million, which is now broken down into lower staff expenses and other costs.
Pro forma revenue for the first 9 months of 2014 is available in the appendix of this press release.
Aéroports de Paris and the French State have reached an agreement on a new Economic Regulation Agreement (ERA) covering the 2016-2020 period. The main features of this agreement were presented in the press release published on 29 July 2015 and available on the website: www.aeroportsdeparis.fr.
The 2016-2020 Economic Regulation Agreement is available on the Group website at www.aeroportsdeparis.fr.
The recent development of traffic has led Aéroports de Paris Group to revise upwards its assumption for growth in traffic at the Paris airports in 2015, compared to 2014: the latter, which was previously 2.6%, now becomes "higher or equal to 3.0%". As a consequence, estimated average annual traffic growth over the 2011-2015 period becomes 2.8%, compared to 2.7% previously1 .
Based on an average traffic growth assumption of 2.5% per year between 2016 and 2020, Aéroports de Paris aims to achieve the following targets by 2020:
The Group's strategic plan and financial targets feed the industrial strategy that supports local and airport sector competitiveness, in line with the Economic regulation Agreement signed on 31 August 2015. The strategic plan has an assumption of a dividend payout ratio of 60% of net income attributable to the Group until 2020.

Aéroports de Paris builds, develops and manages airports including Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris-Le Bourget. In 2014, Aéroports de Paris handled around 93 million passengers, 2.2 million metric tonnes of freight and mail in Paris, and more than 41 million passengers at airports abroad.
Boasting an exceptional geographic location and a major catchment area, Aéroports de Paris Group is pursuing its strategy of adapting and modernising its terminal facilities and upgrading quality of services; the Group also intends to develop its retail and real estate businesses. In 2014, Group revenue stood at €2,791 million and net income at €402 million.
Registered office: 291, boulevard Raspail, 75014 Paris, France. A public limited company (Société Anonyme) with share capital of €296,881,806. Registered in the Paris Trade and Company Register under no. 552 016 628 RCS Paris.
In order to simplify the readability of accounting segment performance and to optimize the allocation of internal exchanges, Aéroports de Paris has put in place a new accounting management system to be applied from 1 January 2015. This new accounting management model consists in:
This new accounting management system does not have any impact on consolidated key financial metrics.
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 therefore cut by €20 million compared to the published net income share of the Group, affected by:
This restatement generates an impact on the 2014 first half EBITDA of the segments, detailed as follows:
Reverse effects will be observed over the second half. This restatement has then no impact on 2014 full-year accounts.
Moreover, another change was the direct offsetting of capitalised production (formerly accounted for between revenue and expenses) decreasing the costs involved.
The Group has also reclassified some staff training expenses to the amount of €3 million over the first half of 2014. These staff training expenses were incurred by an external organization and were deemed as having a counterpart for the Group. Previously accounted for in "Taxes other than income taxes", they are now accounted for in "External services".
The impacts of these three changes on segments are as follows as of September 2015:
