Press Release
(1) In addition to the reported amounts in the statutory consolidated financial statements, this press release also presents and analyses alternative performance indicators ("APIs"), including operating revenue, EBITDA, operating cash flow, capital expenditure, net invested capital, net debt and net financial debt. A detailed description of the principal APIs used, including an explanation of the term "like-for-like basis", used in describing changes in certain consolidated financial indicators, is provided in the "Explanatory notes" below.
following the downgrade of its rating to below investment grade, as a result of the unilateral and retroactive amendments introduced by art. 35 of the Milleproroghe Decree, containing a number of breaches of both law and constitutional principles
With reference to the ongoing dialogue with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, based on the progress of the talks and the legislative and/or regulatory framework, Autostrade per l'Italia retains the right to take advantage of all the safeguards provided for in its Concession Arrangement, whilst continuing to have confidence in a rapid and positive solution to the situation
Rome, 11 June 2020 – Today's meeting of the Board of Directors of Atlantia SpA, chaired by Fabio Cerchiai, has approved the Atlantia Group's quarterly results announcement for the three months ended 31 March 2020 ("Q1 2020").
During preparation of the results announcement for the three months ended 31 March 2020, the Board confirmed Atlantia's ability to continue to operate as a going concern in accordance with the Italian Civil Code and IFRS, based on the reasons already described in full in the Annual Report for 2019. In spite of the ongoing uncertainty described in the Annual Report for 2019, Autostrade per l'Italia's Board of Directors has prepared the results announcement for the three months ended 31 March 2020 on a going concern basis. This reflects the belief that:
This section presents and analyses the Atlantia Group's reclassified income statement and changes in net debt for the first quarter of 2020, compared with amounts for the same period of the previous year, and the reclassified statement of financial position as at 31 March 2020, compared with the corresponding amounts as at 31 December 2019.
The reclassified consolidated income statement for the first quarter of 2019 includes certain differences with respect to the information published in the results announcement for the three months ended 31 March 2019. These reflect completion of the Purchase Price Allocation process following the acquisition of the Abertis group completed at the end of October 2018. Further details are provided in the Annual Report for 2019.
For the purposes of preparation of the consolidated accounts presented below, the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) and the Atlantia Group's scope of consolidation have not undergone significant changes with respect to those described in the Annual Report for 2019.
As described in greater detail in the section, "Events after 31 March 2020", the restrictions on movement imposed by a number of governments at the end of February 2020, in response to the global spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, have had a major impact on the levels of traffic recorded by the Atlantia Group's operators and on the revenue generated, resulting in an estimated reduction of €375m in the first quarter of 2020.
With regard to the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge on the A10 Genoa-Ventimiglia motorway on 14 August 2018, no further provisions for risks and charges were made or operating costs incurred during the first quarter of 2020, in addition to the provisions already made as at 31 December 2019. In addition to these costs amount, the decision to exempt road users in the Genoa area from the payment of tolls in the first quarter of 2020 has resulted in an estimated reduction in toll revenue of €4m (a total of €26m in 2018 and 2019). Work on reconstruction of the road bridge continued, as did the provision of support for the people and businesses directly affected by the collapse.
In particular, in financial terms as at 31 March 2020:

"Operating revenue" for the first quarter of 2020 totals €2,210m, a reduction of €381m compared with 2019 (€2,591m). On a like-for-like basis, operating revenue is down €255m (10%) for the following reasons.
"Toll revenue" of €1,751m is down €344m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€2,095m). After stripping out exchange rate movements, which had a negative impact of €67m, toll revenue is down €277m as a result of:
"Aviation revenue" of €120m is down €51m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€171m). This primarily reflects the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on traffic volumes at Aeroporti di Roma (passenger traffic down 33.3%) and at the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group (passenger traffic down 21%), resulting in reductions of €43m and €8m, respectively.
"Other operating income", totalling €339m, is up €14m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€325m). This primarily reflects increased revenue generated by Pavimental from work for external customers (€31m) and revenue growth recorded by the Telepass group (€6m) and the Abertis group (€6m), partially offset by a reduction in revenue caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to declines in royalties from motorway service areas on the Autostrade per l'Italia Group's network (€16m) and in non-aviation revenue at Aeroporti di Roma (€13m) and at the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group (€3m).
"Net operating costs" of €939m are down €91m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€1,030m). The "Cost of materials and external services and other costs" amounts to €529m, a reduction of €53m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€582m). After stripping out the decrease in costs relating to reconstruction of the Polcevera road bridge, amounting to €86m (€41m in the first quarter of 2020 and €127m in the first quarter of 2019), and exchange rate movements (€15m), the figure is up €48m essentially due to:
a) increased costs incurred by Pavimental in relation to contract work for external customers (€26m);
"Concession fees", totalling €105m, are down €34m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€139m). This primarily regards a reduction in concession fees payable by the Italian motorway operators (€22m), as a result of the above decline in toll revenue, and the impact of the profitsharing arrangement applicable to the operator, Stalexport Autostrada Malopolska, which in the first quarter of 2019 resulted in a cost of €8m, whilst in 2020, payment was deferred until 30 June 2020 in agreement with the Grantor.
"Net staff costs" of €328m are down €30m (€358m in the first quarter of 2019), primarily reflecting the positive impact of the Group's staff incentive plans. This reflects the different impact of fair value adjustments of the value of vested rights, bearing in mind the contrasting performances of the share price in the comparative periods.
The "Operating change in provisions" generated income of €23m in the first quarter of 2020 (income of €49m in the first quarter of 2019). This primarily reflects the use of provisions for the repair and replacement of motorway infrastructure to fund work on reconstruction of the Polcevera road bridge (€40m).
"Gross operating profit" (EBITDA) of €1,271m is down €290m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€1,561m). On a like-for-like basis, EBITDA is down €249m (16%).
"Amortisation and depreciation, impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses", totalling €903m, is down €72m compared with the same period of 2019. This primarily reflects the impact of expiry, at the end of 2019, of the concession for 468 km of motorway held by Aumar in Spain (€54m).
"Provisions for renewal work and other adjustments", amounting to €16m, are down €15m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€31m). This primarily reflects reduced provisions for renewal of the infrastructure operated under concession by Aeroporti di Roma and Traforo del Monte Bianco.
"Operating profit" (EBIT) of €352m is down €203m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€555m), primarily due to the impact of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, as noted with regard to the reduction in EBITDA.
"Net financial expenses" of €375m are up €139m compared with the same period of 2019 (€236m). This is essentially due to impairment losses on financial assets deriving from the concession rights held by the Argentine motorway operators, reflecting a deterioration in the financial situation of the Argentine State (€66m) and recognition in profit or loss of negative movements in the fair value of certain Interest Rate Swaps held by Atlantia and Autostrade per l'Italia (€59m), which are no longer accounted for using hedge accounting from 31 December 2019.
"Income tax expense" of €4m is down €91m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€95m), reflecting the difference in the pre-tax result.
The first quarter of 2020 thus closed with a "Loss for the period" of €29m, compared with a profit for the first quarter of 2019, totalling €229m.
The "Loss for the period attributable to owners of the parent", amounting to €10m, compares with the profit of €157m recorded in the first quarter of 2019.
The "Loss for the period attributable to non-controlling interests" amounts to €19m, compared with a profit of €72m for the first quarter of 2019.
| €M | 31 March 2020 | 31 December 2019 | INCREASE/ (DECREASE) |

| NET DEBT AND EQUITY (L=F+I) | 48.651 | 51.625 | -2.974 |
As at 31 March 2020, "Non-current non-financial assets", totalling €63,204m, are down €2,940m compared with 31 December 2019. This essentially reflects a reduction in intangible assets (€2,002m), primarily due to falls in the value of South American currencies against the euro (€1,356m) and amortisation for the period (€854m, including €314m relating to the Purchase Price Allocation of Abertis). This was in addition to the negative impact of fair value adjustment of the investment in Hochtief (€897m), linked to the significant decline in the share price as at 31 March 2020 compared with the price as at 31 December 2019 (€60.5 euro per share compared with €113.7 per share previously).
"Working capital" reports a negative balance of €3,148m, an increase of €434m compared with the negative balance of €2,714m as at 31 December 2019. This essentially reflects collection, in the first quarter of 2020, of tax credits totalling €622m by Abertis Infraestructuras, relating to the recovery of payments on account made in 2018 on dividends collected and the gain on the sale of the investment in Cellnex. This impact is partially offset by an increase in current non-financial assets held for sale (€117m), following reclassification of the carrying amount of the 19.67% investment in the French operator, Alis, as a result of the binding offer accepted in February 2020 that will result in its sale.
"Non-current non-financial liabilities", totalling €11,405m, are down €400m compared with 31 December 2019 (€11,805m). This is primarily due to reclassification of the current portion of provisions for construction services required by contract (€150m) and a reduction in deferred tax liabilities, amounting to €193m, primarily due to the release of the portion for the period linked to amortisation of the gains allocated to the assets acquired as a result of business combinations.
"Equity attributable to owners of the parent and non-controlling interests" totals €13,181m (€14,903m as at 31 December 2019).
"Equity attributable to owners of the parent", totalling €6,356m, is down €1,052m compared with 31 December 2019. This primarily reflects a combination of the following:
"Equity attributable to non-controlling interests" of €6,825m is down €670m compared with 31 December 2019 (€7,495m), This essentially reflects a combination of the following:
"Net debt" as at 31 March 2020 amounts to €35,470m, a reduction of €1,252m compared with 31 December 2019 (€36,722m). This reflects the movements described in greater detail in the following section on "Consolidated cash flow". The principal changes in financial liabilities in the first quarter of 2020 include:
"Net financial debt", an indicator usually used by analysts and rating agencies to assess the Group's financial structure, amounts to €37,982m as at 31 March 2020, a reduction of €1,554m compared with 31 December 2019 (€39,536m).
The change essentially reflects operating cash flow of €790m and collection of the above tax credits by Abertis Infraestructuras, totalling €622m.
The residual weighted average term to maturity of the Group's debt is five years and one month as at 31 March 2020.
60.5% of the Group's debt is fixed rate. After taking into account the related hedges, fixed rate debt represents 76.2% of the total.
As at 31 March 2020, the weighted average cost of the Atlantia Group's medium/long-term borrowings, including differentials on hedging instruments, is 3% (reflecting the combined effect of the 2.5% paid by the companies operating in the euro area, the 4.2% paid by the Chilean companies and the 7.6% paid by the Brazilian companies).
As at 31 March 2020, the Group has cash reserves of €15,959m, consisting of:

| Net debt at end of period | 35.470 | 38.681 |
"Net cash from operating activities" amounts to €1,299m, an increase of €290m compared with the same period of 2019 (€1,009m). This reflects the previously mentioned collection, in the first quarter of 2020, of tax credits of €622m by the Abertis group, partially offset by a reduction in operating cash flow of €236m due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Group's motorway and airport operators.
"Net cash used for investment in non-financial assets" in the first quarter of 2020 amounts to €278m, essentially due to capital expenditure during the period (€361m).
"Net equity cash outflows" amount to €21m for the first quarter of 2020 and include dividends declared by the Group and reserves distributed to non-controlling shareholders, amounting to €17m and €4m, respectively. The reduction of €153m in outflows compared with the same period of 2019 (€174m) is essentially due to the special dividend paid to non-controlling shareholders by Abertis Infraestructuras in the first quarter of 2019 (€126m).
Cash from operating activities, after the net cash used for investment in non-financial assets and net equity cash outflows, result in a reduction in net debt of €1,000m.
"Other changes in net debt" have reduced net debt by a further €252m, primarily due to the fall in value of the South American currencies. In the first quarter of 2019, "Other changes in net debt" increased net debt by €422m, essentially due to:
The above cash flows have thus resulted in an overall decrease in net debt of €1,252m in the first quarter of 2020.

Traffic on the motorway network operated by Autostrade per l'Italia and its motorway subsidiaries fell 20.7% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with the same period of the previous year. The reduction primarily regarded the number of kilometres travelled by vehicles with 2 axles, which is down 23.4%, whilst the figure for vehicles with 3 or more axles is down 5.9%. Traffic during the first quarter was significantly impacted by the spread of Covid-19 in Italy from the last week in February, and by the subsequent progressive introduction of restrictions on movement.
(2) The results of the Abertis group's Italian motorway businesses, presented in the operating segment "Abertis group", are not included.
The Group's Italian motorway operations generated operating revenue of €728m in the first quarter of 2020, a reduction of €168m compared with the same period of the previous year (€896m).
Toll revenue of €662m is down €152m compared with the same period of 2019 (€814m). The reduction broadly reflects the downturn in traffic resulting from the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The decision to exempt road users in the Genoa area from the payment of tolls has resulted in an estimated reduction in toll revenue of approximately €4m (broadly in line with the same period of the previous year).
Other operating income is down €16m, primarily due to reduced royalties from service areas. This is a further result of the impact of the Covid-19 emergency on the volumes of business and turnover recorded by oil and food service providers.
Concession fees, which include the addition to the concession fee payable to ANAS (also accounted for in toll revenue) and concession fees payable in relation to toll revenue and sub-concession arrangements, are down €22m as a result of the performance of traffic and of royalties from service areas in the first quarter of 2020.
The cost of materials and external services and other costs reflects increased maintenance work (up €14m compared with the first quarter of 2019). This is essentially linked to continued implementation of network surveillance, inspection, maintenance and safety programmes, partially offset by a reduction in the variable costs linked to winter operations, reflecting kinder weather conditions during the first quarter of 2020, compared with the comparative period.
EBITDA for the first quarter of 2020 amounts to €391m, a reduction of €92m compared with the same period of 2019 (€483m).
In addition to the above components, the reduction also reflects the change in Autostrade per l'Italia's provisions for the repair and replacement of motorway infrastructure (excluding items attributable to reconstruction of the Polcevera road bridge), reflecting the performance of the interest rates used to discount the provisions to present value and a revised estimate of the repair work to be carried out, with a positive impact of €56m.
Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2020 amounts to €224m (€245m in the first quarter of 2019), a reduction of €21m. This reflects the impact of the spread of Covid-19, reducing cash flow by €102m, partially offset by the reduced impact of the cost of demolition and reconstruction of the Polcevera road bridge, of the compensation paid to the families of the victims and the injured and of legal expenses (€98m, net of the related taxation).
Capital expenditure at the Group's Italian motorway operators in the first quarter of 2020 amounts to €104m. Work on the following projects continued:
Traffic registered an overall reduction of 12.9% in the first quarter of 2020, compared with same period of the previous year. On a like-for-like basis, the decrease is 10.1%.

Total operating revenue for the first quarter 2020 amounts to €1,044m, a reduction of €169m (14%) compared with the same period of the previous year. The change is primarily due to changes in the scope of the group's operations (the expiry of Aumar's concession and the consolidation of Trados-45 in Spain, the expiry of Autovias's concession and the start-up of operations at ViaPaulista in Brazil) and adverse exchange rate movements, above all relating to the Chilean peso, the Brazilian real and the Argentine peso. On a like-for-like basis and after stripping out exchange rate movements, revenue is down €63m (6%), primarily due to the decline in traffic resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Abertis group's operating cash flow amounts to €463m for the first quarter of 2020, a decline of €135m compared with the same period of 2019 (€598m). This primarily reflects the negative impact of the spread of Covid-19, estimated at €82m, and of changes in the scope of operations between the two comparative periods, which have had a negative impact amounting to €65m, primarily due to the expiry of Aumar's concession on 31 December 2019.
The Abertis group's capital expenditure amounts to €95m in the first quarter of 2020. This primarily regards the investment programmes being carried out by the Brazilian operators and work on the Plan de Relanceinvestment programme in France.

In the first quarter of 2020, traffic on the networks managed by the Group's overseas operators fell 4.7% overall compared with the same period of 2019.
The overseas motorways segment generated operating revenue of €150m in the first quarter of 2020, a reduction of €18m (11%) compared with the same period of the previous year. At constant exchange rates, revenue is up €3m (2%), linked to toll increases, which offset negative traffic growth.

(4) The results of the Abertis group's overseas motorway businesses, presented in the operating segment "Abertis group", are not included.
Operating cash flow amounts to €99m for the first quarter of 2020 and is broadly in line with the figure for the first quarter of 2019 (€98m). This reflects that fact that the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic had not yet had a significant impact in certain countries in the first quarter of 2020.

Operating revenue for the first quarter of 2020 amounts to €61m, down €6m (9%) compared with the first quarter of 2019, partly due to the fall in value of the Brazilian real(5). At constant exchange rates, revenue is up €3m (4%) as a result of annual toll increases, partially offset by a reduction in traffic resulting from the measures taken to combat the spread of Covid-19, which placed restrictions on movements from the second half of March.
EBITDA of €42m is down €11m (21%) compared with the first quarter of 2019, partly due to the fall in value of the Brazilian real, and, at Nascentes das Gerais, increased provisions for pavement repairs and the one-off release of provisions for risks in the first quarter of 2019. At constant exchange rates, EBITDA is down €6m (10%).
Capital expenditure in the first quarter of 2020 amounted to €6m and primarily regarded the investment programme being carried out by the operator, Nascentes das Gerais.

Chilean operators' total operating revenue for the first quarter of 2020 amounts to €84m, a reduction of €11m (12%) compared with the first quarter of 2019, partly due to the fall in value of the Chilean peso(6). At constant exchange rates, revenue is up €2m (2%), reflecting annual toll increases, partially offset by a reduction in traffic resulting from the measures taken to combat the spread of Covid-19, which placed restrictions on movements from the second half of March.
EBITDA of €61m is down €7m (10%) compared with the first quarter of 2019. At constant exchange rates, EBITDA is up €3m (4%).
Capital expenditure amounts to €51m, including approximately €45m in payments to the Grantor by the new operators, Americo Vespucio Oriente II and Conexión Vial Ruta 78 Hasta Ruta 68, as their contributions to the cost of expropriations in accordance with the related concession arrangements. Work is also close to completion on the Santiago Centro Oriente upgrade programme, which is 98% completed.

The Stalexport Autostrady group's operating revenue for the first three months of 2019 amounts to €18m, a reduction of €1m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (down 5%). This reflects reduced traffic due to the measures introduced to combat the spread of Covid-19, the effects of which were seen from the second half of March.
EBITDA of €13m is up €7m, primarily due to the deferral, from the first to the second quarter of the year, of recognition of the concession fees linked to the profit-sharing agreement with the grantor. Exchange rate movements have not had a significant impact on the results.
Capital expenditure amounted to €2m in the first quarter of 2020, primarily in relation to the investment programme included in the concession arrangement.
The Roman airport system handled 6.8m passengers in the first three months of the year, a reduction of 33.3% compared with the first quarter of 2019. As a result of the measures introduced to combat the spread of Covid-19, from 20 February, air traffic recorded a sharp drop of 65.9%, partly reflecting the decision by many governments to close borders.


From 20 February, Fiumicino registered a reduction in passengers of over 2.8m compared with the same period of the previous year (a fall of 66.2%), accompanied by a decline in movements of approximately 15,700 (down 50.6%). The fall accelerated in March, following the Government's introduction of restrictions on flights to and from Italy from the second half of the month.
Ciampino airport registered a similar reduction, with a 28.2% decline in passenger traffic in the first three months of 2020 compared with the first quarter of 2019.
Following the cancellation of flights by Ryanair and Wizz Air, commercial flights were then suspended from 13 March 2020.
Operating revenue for the first quarter of 2020 amounts to €142m, a reduction of €56m (28%) compared with the same period of the previous year. Aviation revenue of €95m is down by a total of €43m (31%), reflecting the decline in traffic resulting from the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Other operating income of €47m is down €13m (22%) compared with the first quarter of the previous year, primarily reflecting the decline in passenger traffic.
EBITDA of €68m is down approximately €45m (40%) compared with the same period of the previous year, entirely as a result of the above fall in revenue (down €56m).
Operating cash flow amounts to €57m for the first quarter of 2020, a reduction of €30m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (€87m). This essentially reflects the impact of restrictions on travel to and from Italy linked to the spread of Covid-19.
Capital expenditure totalled €63m in the first quarter of 2020 and primarily regards continued work on increasing capacity, in line with the planned expansion of the terminals in the eastern part of Fiumicino airport.
Nice airport handled 2.0m passengers in the first quarter of 2020, a reduction of 21.0% compared with the same period of the previous year. The restrictions on air travel, introduced in March to combat the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, neutralised the growth recorded in the first two months of the year (up 5.2% on the first two months of 2019).
The domestic segment, accounting for 45% of total traffic, is down 20.5% compared with the same period of the previous year. The EU segment, accounting for 30% of total traffic, is also down 35.9%, whilst the non-EU segment is up 11.7%.

The Group's overseas airports segment generated operating revenue of €49m in the first quarter of 2020, down €11m (18%) compared with the same period of the previous year.
Aviation revenue of €25m is down €8m compared with the first quarter of 2019. This reflects a combination of the negative impact of the French transport regulator's decision to reduce airport fees (33% lower from 15 May 2019) and the restrictions on air traffic introduced from March 2020 in order combat the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. Other operating income of €24m is down €3m compared with the same period of the previous year. EBITDA of €11m is down €11m compared with the first quarter of 2019 (down 50%).
Operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2020 amounts to €8m, a reduction of €9m compared with the same period of 2019 (€17m). This essentially reflects the negative impact of the spread of Covid-19 and the lower airport fees applied in the first quarter of 2020.
The Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group's capital expenditure amounts to €11m for the first quarter of 2020.
In addition to the information already provided in the Annual Report for 2019, this section provides details of updates or new developments relating to significant regulatory and legal events affecting Group companies and occurring through to the date of approval of this results announcement for the three months ended 31 March 2020.
Correspondence with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport regarding the procedure for serious breach of the concession arrangement and the potential for a negotiated solution With regard to correspondence with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (the "MIT"), aimed at resolving the dispute over the Ministry's allegations of serious breaches of the Concession Arrangement following the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge, it should be noted that, as reported in greater detail in the Annual Report for the year ended 31 December 2019, on 5 March 2020, Autostrade per l'Italia ("ASPI") sent the MIT a new proposal in which - whilst confirming the objections raised - the Company reiterated its willingness, shared by Atlantia, to find an agreed and final solution to the dispute, which would also be in the public interest.
After further discussions with the MIT, on 6 April 2020 and 8 April 2020, Autostrade per l'Italia sent further letters to (i) the MIT and (ii) the Prime Minister and the Ministers of Infrastructure and Transport and of the Economy and Finance, the content of which is described in detail in the above-mentioned Annual Report.
Lastly, on 13 May 2020, Autostrade per l'Italia sent a memorandum to the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport and the Minister of the Economy and Finance, reiterating the need to rapidly agree on a resolution of the dispute initiated by the MIT. This is based on the fact that the continuing uncertainty over a resolution of the dispute is no longer sustainable for the Company and, at the same time, presents a serious obstacle to the regular continuation and implementation of its investment programme. The situation has been further exacerbated by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti's decision to turn down Autostrade per l'Italia's request to draw down funds under the facility agreed in December 2017, citing the failure to meet the related suspensive conditions due to the pending dispute with the MIT and the changes introduced by art. 35 of the Milleproroghe Decree.
Furthermore, on 21 May 2020, Autostrade per l'Italia also requested access in order to "view and make copies of all the papers, reports, opinions, assessments, correspondence, technical, financial and contractual documents and any other paper and/or document prepared and/or produced and/or used" by the Ministry or in its possession, in relation to the above dispute and the dialogue entered into in order to find an agreed solution.
At the Board meeting held on 22 May 2020, Atlantia's Board of Directors examined the overall situation of its subsidiary, Autostrade per l'Italia. The Board noted that, as of such date, there had been no response to the formal proposal submitted by Autostrade per l'Italia to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport on 5 March this year. In the meantime, Autostrade per l'Italia was continuing to cover the full cost of construction of the new (nearly completed) road bridge in Genoa, and to pay out the compensation due to people and businesses in the city, whilst also outsourcing responsibility for infrastructure inspection.
The situation of uncertainty unfortunately continues to weigh on the subsidiary, in spite of public statements made by a number of leading members of the Government who, since February of this year, have expressed a willingness to consider Autostrade per l'Italia's proposals, even declaring, at the end of April, that their examination of the company's latest offer had been completed.
Whilst continuing to have confidence in a rapid and positive solution to the situation faced by Autostrade per l'Italia, Atlantia's Board of Directors was left with no other choice than (i) to instruct the subsidiary, Autostrade per l'Italia – without prejudice to its recourse to all the contractual provisions available to it in order to protect its rights under the terms and conditions of the concession arrangement – to use the €900m loan from Atlantia to guarantee maintenance of the network and investment in safety, in accordance with all its existing obligations, thereby postponing other investment until it is able to raise the necessary financing, and (ii) to request its legal counsel to evaluate all the actions necessary in order to protect the Company and the Group, in view of the serious damage being caused.
Whilst continuing to have confidence in a rapid and positive solution to the situation faced by Autostrade per l'Italia, based on the progress of talks with the MIT, the Ministry of the Economy and Finance and the Cabinet Office, and the legislative and/or regulatory framework, including with regard to the eventual outcome of the challenges contesting the provisions contained in the Milleproroghe Decree, Autostrade per l'Italia will, in any event, have the option of exercising all the rights granted to it under the terms of the concession arrangement, as confirmed by the opinions provided by the Company's legal advisors.
With regard to art. 13 of Law Decree 162 of 30 December 2019 (the so-called Milleproroghe Decree), converted into law on 28 February 2020, Autostrade per l'Italia has duly raised issues relating to conflict with EU and constitutional law in the legal challenges filed before Lazio Regional Administrative Court, contesting the measures implementing the legislation.
With regard to art. 35 of the Milleproroghe Decree, Autostrade per l'Italia has asked Lazio Regional Administrative Court to rule on whether articles 8, 9 and 9bis of the Concession Arrangement are still valid and in force.
Based on the developments: (i) talks with the MIT, the Ministry of the Economy and Finance and the Cabinet Office, and (ii) the legislative and/or regulatory framework, including with regard to the eventual outcome of the challenges contesting the provisions contained in the Milleproroghe Decree, Autostrade per l'Italia will, in any event, have the option of exercising all the rights granted to it under the terms of the concession arrangement, as confirmed by the opinions provided by the Company's legal advisors.
Following Liguria Regional Administrative Court's decision to ask the Constitutional Court to rule on the issues of constitutional legitimacy raised by Autostrade per l'Italia, the Court has scheduled a public hearing to discuss the case for 8 July 2020.
On the other hand, with regard to the appeals brought by the authorities - the Special Commissioner for the Reconstruction, the Cabinet Office and the MIT – challenging the headings of the rulings on the preliminary issues raised by Autostrade, the Council of State has scheduled hearings on all four appeals for 8 October 2020.
With regard to the criminal action before the Court of Genoa following the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge, two pre-trial hearings were arranged by the preliminary investigating magistrate. The first, aimed at ascertaining the conditions at the time of the collapse, concluded with the filing of an initial report prepared by experts on 31 July of last year, followed by a hearing to examine the report on 20 September 2019.
On the other hand, with regard to the second pre-trial hearing, the purpose of which is to determine the causes of the collapse, following the entry into force of Law Decree 11 of 8 March 2020, containing "Extraordinary and urgent measures to combat the Covid-19 epidemic and contain the negative impact on the judicial system" and the later Law Decree 23 of 8 April, containing "Urgent measures regarding access to credit and tax compliance for businesses, special powers in strategic sectors, measures relating to health and labour, and extensions to administrative and court proceedings", in a ruling dated 13 May 2020, the preliminary investigating magistrate extended the deadline for filing the expert report to 31 July 2020, scheduling the date of the hearing to be held for the purpose of appointing and swearing in a new technical expert for 14 July 2020.
With regard to the current five-yearly update of the financial plan, reported on in the Annual Report for 2019, it should be noted that, on 21 May 2020, the Grantor sent all motorway operators a memorandum announcing its decision to extend the deadline for submitting the related financial plans until 20 June 2020, due to the Covid-19 health emergency. Autostrade per l'Italia had already submitted its updated financial plan for the period 2020-2024 to the Grantor on 8 April 2020, expressing the hope that the plan would be accompanied by the definition of a stable, effective regulatory and concession framework.
With regard to Autostrade Meridionali's appeal to the Campania Regional Administrative Court against the decision to award the SIS Consortium the new concession to operate the A3 Naples-Pompei-Salerno motorway, requesting its cancellation after suspension of the award, on 13 May 2020, the Court rejected Autostrade Meridionali's request for a provisional injunction halting the award and, at the same time, scheduled a hearing on the merits of the case to be held on 7 October 2020.
On 4 May 2020, ADR was notified of a claim filed before the Civil Court of Civitavecchia by Alitalia SAI in Extraordinary Administration, requesting the return of payments made to ADR in the six months prior to the date of the court order admitting the claimant to extraordinary administration on 2 May 2017.
The value of the claim for payments made to ADR between November 2016 and January 2017, which the claimant is seeking to have declared null and void and to have returned to Alitalia in AS, amounts to a total of approximately €34m plus legal interest and monetary revaluation.
The initial hearing has been scheduled for 11 February 2021.
ETC filed a claim against the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority ("MDX") on 28 November 2012, following the withholding of payment for the on-site and electronic tolling system management and maintenance services provided by ETC. The claimant requested the court to order MDX to settle the unpaid amounts and pay any additional costs incurred and damages for breach of contact. On 8 May 2020, at MDX's initiative following specific talks, the parties reached a settlement, under which MDX has paid ETCC the sum of 66.5m US dollars. The settlement requires the parties to waive any further right, claim or action against the other party and withdrawal of the legal action.
In response to the uncertainty resulting from the approval of Law Decree 162 of 30 December 2019 (the Milleproroghe legislation), later converted into Law 8 of 28 February 2020, Atlantia's ratings were downgraded by the leading rating agencies (Moody's: Ba3 Outlook Negative, Fitch: BB Rating Watch Negative and Standard & Poor's: BB- Credit Watch Negative). This was accompanied by downgrades of the subsidiaries, Autostrade per l'Italia (Moody's: Ba3 Outlook Negative, Fitch: BB+ Rating Watch Negative and Standard & Poor's: BB- Credit Watch Negative), and Aeroporti di Roma (Moody's: Baa3 Outlook Negative, Fitch: BBB- Rating Watch Negative and Standard & Poor's: BB+ Credit Watch Negative).
The terms and conditions applicable to Atlantia SpA's borrowings do not provide for early repayment in the event of a rating downgrade, whilst the downgrade of Autostrade per l'Italia's rating to below investment grade could result in early repayment of loans from the EIB and CDP totalling €2.1bn, including €1.7bn guaranteed by Atlantia. At the date of preparation of this results announcement, the subsidiary had not received any request for early repayment from either of the two financial institutions.
Since the end of February 2020, the restrictions on movement, imposed by many governments in response to the global spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, have had an impact on the volumes of traffic using the motorways and airports operated under concession by the Group.
The effects have varied from country to country, primarily reflecting differences in the extent and timing of the travel restrictions introduced by governments.

On 3 April 2020, Autostrade per l'Italia requested the disbursement of funds totalling €200m under the credit facility agreed with Cassa Depositi e Prestiti SpA ("CDP") on 15 December 2017. The request regards use of the Revolving Credit Facility tranche to meet the Company's working capital requirements.
In a letter dated 24 April 2020, Cassa Depositi e Prestiti replied that not all the suspensive conditions that would permit the requested disbursement had been met, and that it would not disburse the funds requested, basing its decision in part on the measures introduced by art. 35 of the Milleproroghe Decree. Following the reply of 24 April, talks regarding satisfaction of the conditions to which disbursement is subject have continued without result.
On 24 April 2020, Atlantia provided Autostrade per l'Italia with a letter of support worth up to €900m, in order to cover the subsidiary's financial needs in the period 2020-2021. Subsequently, on 22 May 2020, in response to ongoing uncertainty linked to the dispute with the MIT, and in view of Autostrade per l'Italia's inability to access alternative sources of funding, Atlantia instructed its subsidiary to use the €900m loan to fulfil its existing obligations in terms of guaranteeing maintenance of the network and investment in safety.
Autostrade per l'Italia, Aeroporti di Roma and other Group companies have begun the process of applying for loans from a number of banks that would benefit from guarantees of up to a total of €1.7bn provided by SACE under art. 1, paragraph 7 of the Liquidità Decree, which is designed to support companies in financial difficulty due to the Covid-19 emergency.
On 5 June 2020, Abertis Infraestructuras, in partnership with GIC, completed the acquisition of a 72.3% stake in Red de Carreteras de Occidente (RCO) in Mexico. Abertis now owns a 51.3% interest in RCO, acquired for a consideration of €1.5bn, whilst GIC holds 21%. The remaining 27.7% of the company is held by local investors and pension funds.
The acquired company's 5 operators manage 876 km of motorway network serving the industrial corridor between Mexico City and Guadalajara.
At the date of preparation of this results announcement, there are certain significant uncertainties, primarily surrounding the concession arrangement and regulatory framework of the subsidiary, Autostrade per l'Italia, and the resulting exposure to financial and liquidity risk. The latter is in part due to restrictions on movement imposed in response to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, with the potential to have a material impact on Group companies.
Since the end of February 2020, the restrictions on movement, imposed by many governments in response to the global spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, have had an impact on the volumes of traffic using the motorways and airports operated under concession by the Group. The effects of the restrictions continue to be felt today.
The decline in traffic is having an impact on the ability of Group companies to generate sufficient cash to fund planned investment and to service their debt, and on their future ability to comply with certain covenants attached to their borrowings.
The Group has responded rapidly to the impact of the decline in traffic, taking steps to implement cost-efficiencies and cost-savings and review its investment programmes, whilst at the same time guaranteeing works linked to the safety of infrastructure. We are also assessing all the various forms of aid being provided by governments and authorities in the various countries.
It is not at the moment possible to predict how the situation will develop or how long it will take to return to the Group's pre-existing levels of traffic and of activity.
The overall impact on traffic will depend on how the virus develops, on the extent and duration of the restrictions on movement introduced by the various governments, and on the impact the measures will have on the economy, specifically on consumer spending and demand for motorway and airport services.
Considering the traffic figures up to this point and assuming a gradual recovery from the second half of 2020 onwards, a preliminary sensitivity analysis results in an estimated average annual decline in the Group's motorway traffic of approximately 30% and in airport traffic of approximately 50%. This would result in a potential reduction in the Group's revenue of around €3bn compared with the figure for 2019. It would also lead to a potential reduction in operating cash flow after capital expenditure of €2bn, again when compared with the figures for 2019.
The assumptions underlying such a sensitivity analysis are, however, subject to change depending on events and on a number of risk factors and uncertainties. As a result, the impacts may differ, perhaps significantly, from the above figures. The above impacts should be considered as forecasts of a purely indicative nature and based on the above assumptions. They are subject to revision based on future traffic projections as the situation evolves and, as such, do not constitute the outlook for the Group or future performance targets.
The Board of Directors is closely monitoring developments and continues to assess the need for further efficiencies and changes to subsidiaries' investment programmes. The Board is also looking at the possibility of taking advantage of government initiatives introduced in the various countries in which the Group operates, with the aim of mitigating the effects on earnings and finances.
With regard to Autostrade per l'Italia, the subsidiary has yet to receive any formal response to the proposal submitted to the MIT on 5 March this year, with the aim of reaching agreement on a resolution of the dispute that has been ongoing for almost two years. In the meantime, following the downgrade of the subsidiary's credit rating to below investment grade, as a result of the unilateral and retroactive amendments to legislation introduced by the Milleproroghe Decree, and its resulting inability to access the credit market, Autostrade per l'Italia is availing itself of a loan made available by the parent, Atlantia (amounting to up to €900m). This will ensure its ability to carry out maintenance of the network and invest in safety, in accordance with all its existing obligations, whilst postponing other investment until it is able to raise the necessary financing.
Finally, it should be noted that the results for 2020 will include the contribution of the Mexican group, Red de Carreteras de Occidente (RCO), following completion of the group's acquisition. The transaction will also further diversify the geographical footprint of the motorways operated under concession.

As at 31 March 2020, Atlantia SpA has net debt of €4,642m, down €159m compared with 31 December 2019 (€4,801m).
Non-current financial liabilities of €9,288m as at 31 March 2020 are up €3,320m compared with 31 December 2019 (€5,968m), essentially due to use of the full amount available under revolving credit facilities (amounting to €3.250m) in January 2020.
Correspondingly, current net funds of €3,955m as at 31 March 2020 are up €3,474m compared with 31 December 2019 (€481m), due to the above use of revolving credit facilities, and collection of the proceeds from the assignment, completed in January 2020 for a sum of €278m, of receivables due on sterling-denominated bonds issued by Aeroporti di Roma. As at 31 December 2019, these receivables were accounted for in non-current financial assets at a value of €277m.

Atlantia Group's net debt(1)
(1) Absolute amounts.
As at 31 March 2020, the Group has net debt of €35,470m, down €1,252m compared with 31 December 2019 (€36,722m).
Non-current financial liabilities of €47,173m are up €3,347m compared with 31 December 2019 (€43,826m), primarily due to the above use of revolving credit facilities by Atlantia SpA.
Current net funds of €6,870m are up €4,550m compared with 31 December 2019 (current net funds of €2,320m), primarily reflecting Atlantia SpA's use of the revolving credit facilities and the positive impact of the change in working capital, linked essentially to Abertis Infraestructuras's collection of tax credits.

The Group's past due payables as at 31 March 2020 primarily regard trade payables for the most part reflecting non-payment within the usual contractual or commercial terms of payment, disputes over the services received and suppliers involved in insolvency proceedings awaiting settlement. None of the items is past due as a result of insufficient financial resources on the part of the Group. No action has been taken by the creditors of Group companies as at 31 March 2020 involving material amounts or items deemed critical with regard to the operations of such companies.
The following information is provided on the main changes during the first quarter of 2020 in related party transactions:
With respect to compliance with covenants, negative pledge provisions and other provisions involving restrictions on the use of cash by Group companies, following the downgrade of its ratings to below investment grade by two out of three rating agencies on 8 January 2020, a number of loan agreements entered into by Autostrade per l'Italia SpA with the European Investment Bank and Cassa Depositi e Prestiti may trigger requests for early repayment, as announced to the market on 8 January 2020 and further disclosed in the Annual Report for 2019.
At the date of this results announcement, neither the EIB or CDP have requested the enforcement of any contractual rights and/or remedies, nor have they requested any early repayment. Furthermore, with regard to two lines of credit amounting to €1.3bn obtained by Autostrade per l'Italia from Cassa Depositi e Prestiti, the latter has so far not made any disbursement, partly in view of the provisions introduced by art. 35 of the Milleproroghe Decree.
Details of the impact of the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic on traffic figures are provided in the section, "Events after 31 March 2020". The "Outlook" reports on the sensitivity analysis conducted in order to assess the potential impact on revenue and operating cash flow after capital expenditure in 2020, compared with 2019, as previously presented in Atlantia's Annual Report for 2019.
The Group's performance is assessed on the basis of a number of alternative performance indicators ("APIs"), calculated on the same basis used in the Group's Annual Report for 2018, to which reference should be made. In application of the CONSOB Ruling of 3 December 2015, governing implementation in Italy of the guidelines for alternative performance indicators ("APIs") issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the composition of each indicator and reconciliations with reported amounts are provided below:
A number of APIs, calculated as above, are also presented after applying certain adjustments in order to provide a consistent basis for comparison over time, or in application of a different financial statement presentation deemed to be more effective in describing the financial performance of specific activities of the Group. These adjustments to APIs are linked to "Like-for-like changes" to operating revenue, gross operating profit (EBITDA) and operating cash flow, and calculated by excluding, where present, the impact of: (i) changes in the scope of consolidation; (ii) changes in exchange rates on the value of assets and liabilities denominated in functional currencies other than the euro; and (iii) events and/or transactions not strictly connected with operating activities that have an appreciable influence on amounts for at least one of the two comparative periods.
To provide a consistent basis for comparison of certain performance indicators for the two comparative periods, the following table shows a reconciliation of like-for-like consolidated amounts, for the two periods, for operating revenue, gross operating profit (EBITDA) and operating cash flow based on the consolidated results presented above.

Notes:
The term "like-for-like basis", used in the description of consolidated operating revenue, EBITDA and operating cash flow, indicates that amounts for comparative periods have been determined by eliminating:
Net financial debt is presented below as a synthetic indicator of the financial structure and is based on the nominal redemption value of bond issues, medium/long-term and short-term borrowings, including bank overdrafts repayable on demand, and after deducting cash.
The statement has been prepared to enable readers to assess the Group's financial structure, distinguishing between financial liabilities in the form of bank borrowings, and thus in the form of borrowing in the financial market in general, from other types of financial asset and liability.
