| MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT ON THE INTERIM REPORT 20 |
The Board of Directors has today approved the interim report for the period 1 January – 30 June 2023.
Management has, in the Company Announcement dated 11July 2023, updated the expectations for the remainder of 2023, due to the continued growth in passenger numbers. Additionally, the temporary agreement entered into by Naviair and air traffic controllers has reduced the uncertainty on passenger operations previously reported.
Based on these factors and current trajectories for passenger growth, management now expects the passenger level to exceed 26 million for the full year 2023 (previously 25 million).
Expectations for revenue growth has thus been updated to 13% (previously 10%) for the full year 2023.
The updated outlook continues to remain uncertain due to the geopolitical landscape as well as uncertainty on macroeconomic outlook due to volatility in energy prices, increasing interest rates etc. A worsening of these factors could affect travel sentiment and CPH's financial outlook negatively.
If passenger levels reach 26 million, profit before tax is expected to be between DKK 300 million to DKK 350 million (previously DKK 150-200 million) mainly supported by growth in passengers offset by increasing operating costs and interest levels compared with 2022. The increasing cost levels are primarily due to the expected rise in passenger-related activities, regulatory requirements, salary increase expectations and inflation.
Investment level including capitalized interest is updated to be around DKK 1.6 billion (previously DKK 1.7 billion). The expansion of Terminal 3 is around half of the investment level for 2023 whilst the remaining half constitutes of projects in relation to capacity, safety, security, and compliance.
There will be no dividend payment in 2023 as a consequence of commitment towards lenders in waiver agreements.

CPH is a public limited company domiciled in Denmark and listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen.
The interim report comprises the condensed consolidated financial statements of Copenhagen Airports A/S.
The interim report is presented in accordance with international accounting standard IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and additional Danish disclosure requirements applying to interim reports of listed companies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes various accounting estimates and assumptions that form the basis of the presentation, recognition, and measurement of CPH's assets and liabilities.
The estimates made by CPH in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to future events. These include estimates of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and their residual values. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical data and factors that management considers relevant under the given circumstances. These assumptions may have to be revised, and unexpected events or circumstances may occur. For a description of risks and accounting estimates, and for a list of the notes that contain significant estimates and judgments, see page 65-67 and 84 respectively of the 2022 Annual Report.
The accounting policies applied in the interim report are unchanged from those applied in the 2022 Annual Report except as set out below. The 2022 Annual Report was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. For further information, see page 84 of the 2022 Annual Report, which indicates which notes contain accounting policies, and the summary of significant accounting policies on pages 85-86.
As of 1 January 2023, CPH adopted all relevant new or revised International Financial Reporting Standards and IFRIC Interpretations with effective date 1 January 2023 or earlier. The new or revised standards and interpretations did not materially affect recognition and measurement, nor did they result in any material changes to disclosures in the notes.
In the first six months of 2023, CPH invested DKK 599 million in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Major investments made during the first six months of 2023 include the expansion of Terminal 3, improvements of runways and stands, improvements of security facilities, various IT systems as well as miscellaneous improvements and asset investments.
As of 30 June 2023, CPH had entered into contracts to build and maintain facilities at a total value of DKK 1,676 million (31 December 2022: DKK 1,857 million) and other commitments amounting to DKK 98 million (31 December 2022: DKK 82 million). Major commitments include contracts for the development of Terminal 3, baggage handling systems and asset systems.
Utilisation of CPH's total credit facilities increased by DKK 295 million from DKK 2,230 to 2,525 million since year-end 2022. CPH has undrawn committed long-term credit facilities totalling DKK 3,575 million (2022: DKK 3,832 million).
A USPP bond loan, a bank club term loan and a bank club revolving facilities will mature in August 2023. As of 30 June 2023, drawings on these facilities, totalling DKK 5,622 million are presented as current liabilities to financial institutions.
In April 2023, CPH finalised negotiations regarding these credit facilities and secured committed facilities consisting of new lines of credit of DKK 7 billion which will replace and cover in full the debt maturing in August 2023.
