Paris, 20 December 2012
The traffic trend and economic forecasts observed since summer 2012 have led Aéroports de Paris to adjust its traffic assumption and its targets for 2015 initially set at the start of 2010 for the preparation of the second Economic Regulation Agreement. The Group is now expecting an annual traffic growth rate ranging from 1.9 to 2.9% between 2010 and 2015, against 3.2% previously.
The strength of the Group's business model, which relies on a stable and incentivising regulatory framework and on fast growing retail and real estate activities, remains intact. Aéroports de Paris counts on these two pillars to secure its future growth. Aéroports de Paris will continue to implement the Economic Regulation Agreement and will maintain its retail and real estate development targets. Likewise, Aéroports de Paris maintains its investment program for its Parisian platforms and thus secures its quality of service improvement target and its future development. A new cost savings programme aiming at containing the growth in operating costs has just been launched.
Based on these parameters, the Group's 2015 targets are now as follows:
The Group confirms its targets for 2012 of a moderate growth in revenue and EBITDA and expects traffic to be stable in 2013 compared to 2012. Furthermore, aeronautical fees should increase by 3.0% as of April 1st, 2013.
Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO, said:
"The slowing growth in traffic witnessed since summer 2012, as well as recent economic forecasts, have led Aéroports de Paris to adjust its traffic assumption: the Group now anticipates an annual growth ranging 1.9 to 2.9 % on average between 2010 and 2015.
Our business model remains strong, supported by a stable and incentivising regulatory framework and by growing retail activities. Our development targets for retail and real estate remain unchanged.
To reach our targets, a new cost savings programme is necessary to limit operating cost increases of the parent company between 2012 and 2015.
Aéroports de Paris maintains its investment program for its Parisian platforms and thus secures its quality of service improvement target and its future development."
