Definitions of ratios are published at www.cph.dk
Consolidated pre-tax profit in Q2 2007 amounted to DKK 416.5 million and H1 2007 amounted to DKK 760.3 million, including one-off income of DKK 229.6 million related to sale of a building and international divestments and one-off costs related to restructuring of DKK 28.4 million. Performance in the continuing business was impacted by the decision to accelerate the central security checkpoint. The divestment of international assets also resulted in lower operating income from this source.
Major service improvement investments were made related to a central security checkpoint, baggage sorting, cleaning of passenger areas and a shopping centre expansion to provide a more pleasant environment for the passengers.
In line with its strategy CPH has divested international assets in HMA and ASUR, which has resulted in a one-off income before tax of DKK 114.7 million.
Consolidated revenue fell by DKK 4.9 million to DKK 1,390.2 million. Traffic revenue rose by 2.9% to DKK 720.4 million due to the passenger growth of 2.3% and a change in the passenger mix towards relatively more locally departing passengers, who are subject to higher charges. The increase was partly offset by a reduction in security charges, despite the significant increase in security costs. Concession revenue fell by 8.1% to DKK 390.2 million due to temporary closing of shops as a result of the decision to accelerate the central security checkpoint project and due to lower minimum charges per passenger in the new tax free contract.
Operating costs, including depreciation, increased by 2.6% to DKK 811.9 million. Staff costs increased by DKK 31.8 million primarily as a result of recruitment of 83 additional security employees in order to improve security services and comply with stricter EU security requirements. The increase was partly offset by a decline in external costs by DKK 18.6 million due to a continuous focus on improving efficiency.
EBITDA increased by 27.6% to DKK 978.5 million, including an increase of other income by DKK 230.0 million, which includes one-off income of DKK 229.7 DKK.
The results were affected by a number of one-off impacts, including sale of a building, international divestments and restructuring costs. Adjusted for these one-off impacts, EBITDA increased 1.4%, consolidated revenues decreased 0.4% and operating costs, excluding depreciation, decreased 2.4%.
Profit from investments fell to DKK 17.5 million as the 2006 refinancing of Newcastle International Airport implied higher interest costs in NIAL and due to divestments of HMA and ASUR shares. Net financial costs fell by DKK 30.3 million primarily due to lower average borrowings.
Consolidated profit before tax rose by DKK 12.9 million to DKK 559.1 million, when adjusted for certain one-off items in H1 2007.
The reduction of the Danish corporate tax-rate from 28 to 25 resulted in a DKK 87.4 million reduction of deferred tax at 1 January 2007, which is included in tax on profit for the period. The taxrate reduction further implies a positive correction to income taxes in Q1 2007 of DKK 10.2 million.
An interim dividend will be paid of DKK 200 million. The dividend policy with a pay out ratio of 100% for the full year remains unchanged. Going forward CPH aims to pay out half-year interim dividends which equal the half-year profit after tax.

As announced in the 2006 annual report CPH will seek to realise value from existing international assets. Timing is uncertain. In line with this strategy, CPH has divested its shares in HMA and further made a partial divestment of its direct and indirect shares in ASUR. CPH considers traffic and commercial segments as the continuing core business and the international segment as a divestment business.

The total number of passengers at Copenhagen Airport was 10.2 million in H1 2007, representing a year-on-year increase of 2.3%. Marketing efforts contributed to attracting two new airlines and thirteen new routes plus several additional frequencies on existing routes. The growth on European routes was generated by increased frequencies and new routes. The growth in passenger numbers for intercontinental destinations was driven by a significant growth on the North American routes which to some extent was offset by a decline on the Asian routes due to reductions in frequencies and closing of a single route. Domestic traffic growth was still driven by increased competition.
The number of locally departing passengers rose by 6.2%, whilst the number of transfer passengers fell by 6.0%. Locally departing passengers accounted for 70.8% of all passengers, whilst transfer passengers accounted for 29.2%. For additional comments on traffic performance, please see the previously released traffic statistics for June 2007.

Traffic revenue was adversely affected by the SAS cabin crew strike in April.
Take-off revenue rose by 2.4% primarily explained by the agreed charge increase and a 0.5% increase in take-off weight.
Combined passenger revenue and security revenue rose by DKK 14.4 million or 3.2%. The growth was attributable to the increase in passenger numbers and a change in the passenger mix towards relatively more locally departing passengers, who are subject to higher charges. The increase was partly offset by a reduction in security charges, despite the significant increase in security costs.
EBIT was negatively affected by increased staff costs primarily as a result of the recruitment of 83 additional security employees. This was partly offset by lower maintenance costs due to efficiency improvements.

Concession revenue

| Other revenue | 25.0 | 24.2 | 0.8 | 3.3 | |||
| Total | 341.8 | 377.1 | (35.3) | (9.4) |
The decline in revenue from the shopping centre was due to temporary closing of shops and reallocation of shop square metres during start up of a major refurbishment to provide a more pleasant shopping environment for passengers. During the first half of 2007, it was determined that the shopping centre improvement should be accelerated in order to be operational in time for the summer period. This was achieved but resulted in lower revenue during the construction period. Revenue was also impacted due to the new duty- and taxfree contract which has a lower minimum charge per passenger.
The improvement in revenue from the parking concession reflects the airport's capital investments in new parking facilities to service the growing number of locally departing passengers, of whom many elect to travel to the airport in their own car, as well as an adjustment of the parking charges during 2006.
Rent

| Other rent | 3.5 | 4.7 | (1.2) | (25.5) | |||
| Total | 110.6 | 102.0 | 8.6 | 8.4 |
The increase in rent from premises is due to new leases and contractual rent increases under existing leases, partly offset by the absence of rent from the building sold in Q1 2007, Kystvejen 18, which amounted to DKK 7.8 million. Adjusted for the sale of Kystvejen 18, rent from premises increased by 12.3%.
Rent from land rose due to leases of new parking facilities.

The hotel achieved higher average rates and higher occupancy rates in the first half of 2007.
CPH sold the building Kystvejen 18 in Q1 2007 resulting in one-off net income of DKK 114.9 million.
EBIT was favourably affected by improved efficiency.

Revenue fell by 9.3%, due to lower sales of consulting services to ITA, Mexico and HMA, China in H1 2007. The decline was partly offset by additional sales of consultancy services to NIAL, Newcastle.
EBIT rose due to the divestment of HMA shares and the divestment of direct and indirect shares in ASUR in June 2007, which was in line with the strategy under which CPH seeks to realise value from the existing international assets. The divestments resulted in other income of DKK 114.7 million. The number of employees has been reduced as a consequence of the divestment strategy, which also favourably affected EBIT.

| Total | 17.5 | 38.2 | (20.7) | (54.2) |
Profit from the investment in NIAL declined as the 2006 refinancing of NIAL implied higher interest costs in NIAL. This was partly offset by improved results from operations.
Profit from the investments in ITA and ASUR rose as H1 2006 was influenced by costs in connection with the establishment of a new partner structure. Profit is also affected by an increase in passenger numbers as H1 2006 was still affected by hurricane Wilma, which destroyed a large part of the hotel capacity in October 2005.
On 5 June 2007, CPH sold its entire shareholding of 20% in HMA, for a total consideration of HKD 544 million equivalent to DKK 384 million. See stock exchange announcement number 2007/9.
CPH has divested 6.10% of its 9.85% total investment in ASUR. The divestment consist of a 2.5% direct ownership in ASUR and a 3.60% indirect stake owned through ITA. The divestment generated proceeds of MXN 1,011 million equivalent to DKK 520 million. See stock exchange announcement number 2007/10.

Net financing costs fell primarily due to lower average borrowings and higher average cash and deposits.
Market value adjustments relate to forward exchange contracts.
Tax on the profit for the period has been recognised on the basis of a proportional share of estimated tax calculated on a full-year basis.
The reduction of the Danish corporate tax-rate from 28 to 25 resulted in a DKK 87.4 million reduction of deferred tax at 1 January 2007, which is included in Tax on profit for the period.
The tax-rate reduction further implies a positive correction to income taxes in Q1 2007 of DKK 10.2 million.

The decrease in cash flow from operating activities primarily relate to higher staff costs and reduced operating payables, partly offset by a tax refund.
Investments in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment in H1 2007 amounted to DKK 410.2 million and primarily comprised construction of the new central security checkpoint and work in progress regarding expansion of the shopping centre, baggage sorting facilities and a ground-radar project. This was partly offset by proceeds from sale of a building in Q1 2007.
Payments received from divestments of shares in HMA and ASUR in Q2 2007 amounted to DKK 904.1 million.
Dividends received from investments in associates amounted to DKK 21.1 million.
Financing activities relate to repayment of a longterm loan of DKK 500 million and payment of dividends. At 30 June 2007, CPH had unused credit facilities of DKK 1,233.1 million.

At the Annual General Meeting held on 28 March 2007, the shareholders adopted the resolution proposed by the Supervisory Board of a dividend totalling DKK 826.4 million in respect of 2006, corresponding to a payout ratio of 113.4% (DKK 105.30 per share). The dividend was paid in April 2007.
Brian Petersen has started as new CEO succeeding Niels Boserup, who retired after 16 years as CEO. Brian Petersen took up his position on 1 July 2007.
At the time of the 2006 Annual Report, CPH's profit before tax was expected to increase by 5- 10%, when taking into account certain one-off items incurred. The forecast was based, among other things, on 4-6% passenger growth at Copenhagen Airport.
Major investments were made related to service improvements. Investments were made in security to reduce waiting time, impacting negatively on both security costs and concession revenues. Further investments were made in the baggage sorting facility to increase reliability and in the cleaning of passenger areas. In addition investments were made in the shopping centre to provide a more pleasant shopping environment for passengers. The divestment of international assets further resulted in lower operating income from this source.
The forecast for passenger growth for 2007 is reduced to 3-5%, as a result of traffic disruptions during H1 2007.
Based on the business impacts explained, the guidance for normalised profit before tax for the full year needs to be updated. CPH now expect profit for 2007 to be more in line with 2006 than the 5-10% growth compared to 2006.
As described in the 2006 Annual Report, capital investments in property, plant and equipment in 2007 are expected to total DKK 700-800 million. The forecast is retained.
Capital investments in 2007 primarily relate to the new central security checkpoint, refurbishment and expansion of the shopping centre, baggage sorting facilities and a groundradar.
This interim report includes forward-looking statements as described in the US Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 and similar acts of other jurisdictions, including in particular statements concerning future revenues, operating profits, business expansion and capital investments.
Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties as various factors, many of which are beyond CPH's control, may cause actual results and performance to differ materially from the forecasts made in this interim report.
Such factors include general economic and business conditions, changes in exchange rates, the demand for CPH's services, competitive factors within the aviation industry, operational problems in one or more of the Group's businesses, and uncertainties relating to acquisitions and divestments. See "Risk factors" on pages 35-37 of the 2006 Annual Report.
The interim report comprises the summary consolidated financial statements of Copenhagen Airports A/S.
The interim report is presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU, including IAS 34 on interim reports, and additional Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies.
The accounting policies applied in the interim report are unchanged from those applied in the 2006 Annual Report.
Gains and losses arising from sales of non-current assets are presented separately as other income. Previously gains and losses were due to relatively insignificance included in other line items. The comparative figures have been restated.
The reduction of the Danish corporate tax-rate from 28 to 25 resulted in a DKK 87.4 million reduction of deferred tax at 1 January 2007, which is included in Tax on profit for the period.
The tax-rate reduction further implies a positive correction to income taxes in Q1 2007 of DKK 10.2 million.
With effect from 1 January 2007, CPH has implemented IFRS 7 concerning disclosure of financial instruments, including financial risks. The changes have no effect on CPH's results of operations and equity.
The IASB have approved the following new financial reporting standards and interpretations, which came into force on 1 January 2007 or later, and which are deemed to be relevant to CPH:
IFRS 8 on operating segments and related changes in IAS 34 (takes effect on 1 January 2009) and IFRIC 12 on certain concession types, which takes effect on 1 January 2008. IASB has approved changes to IAS 23 which causes that borrowing costs must be recognised as part of the cost price for certain non-current assets. IAS 23 has not yet been approved by EU. IFRS 8, IAS 23 revised and IFRIC 12 will be analysed in greater detail in order to determine which information must be disclosed.
The estimates made by CPH in the determination of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are based on assumptions that are subject to future events. These include, among other things, estimates of the useful lives of non-current assets and their residual values. For a description of risks, see pages 35-37 of the 2006 Annual Report.

The Supervisory Board and the Executive Board have today considered and adopted the interim report for the period 1 January – 30 June 2007 of Copenhagen Airports A/S.
The interim report, which comprises summary consolidated financial statements of Copenhagen Airports A/S, is presented in accordance with the International Accounting Standards as adopted by the EU, including IAS 34 on interim reports and additional Danish disclosure requirements for listed companies. The accounting policies applied in the interim report are unchanged from those applied in the 2006 Annual Report.
We consider the accounting policies to be adequate, the accounting estimates to be reasonable and the overall presentation of the interim report to be appropriate. In our opinion, the interim report gives a true and fair view of the Group's assets and liabilities and financial position at 30 June 2007 and of the results of the Group's operations and cash flows for the period 1 January – 30 June 2007.

We have as agreed performed a review of the Interim Report of Copenhagen Airports A/S for the period 1 January - 30 June 2007, which comprises Management's Statement, Management's Review, Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Changes in Equity and Cash Flow Statement.
Management is responsible for the preparation of the Interim Report and the true and fair view of this Report in accordance with IFRS as approved by the EU, IAS No 34 and additional Danish disclosure requirements applying to interim reports of listed companies. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Interim Report based on our review.
We conducted our review in accordance with the International and Danish Standards. A review of interim financial statements comprises inquiries mainly to employees responsible for finances and presentation of financial statements and performance of analytical and other review procedures. The scope of a review is significantly less than that of an audit performed in accordance with Danish auditing standards and therefore provides less assurance that we become aware of all material matters which could be disclosed by an audit. We have performed no audit. Consequently, we express no audit opinion.
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the Interim Report does not give a true and fair view of the Group's financial position at 30 June 2007 and of the Group's results of operations and cash flows for the period 1 January - 30 June 2007 in accordance with IFRS as approved by the EU, IAS No 34 and additional Danish disclosure requirements applying to interim reports of listed companies.
