INTRODUCTION

Dear Shareholders,

this report, accompanying the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Group (hereinafter also the "Aeroporto Group", "Aeroporto" or "AdB") for the year ended December 31, 2023, in presenting the Group's performance indirectly analyses also the performance of the Parent Company, Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A., the holder of the concession for the full management of Bologna Airport, i.e. Full Management Concession No. 98 of July 12, 2004 and subsequent Additional Deeds, approved by Decree of the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure and of the Economy and Finance of March 15, 2006, with a term of 40 years starting on December 28, 2004. Given the drastic drop in traffic at Italy's airports due to COVID-19, Article 102, Paragraph 1-bis of Decree-Law No. 34 of May 19 (Relaunch Decree), converted into Law No. 77 of July 17, 2020, extended the duration of airport concessions by two years in order to cushion the consequent economic blow. Given the direct applicability of the above law, Bologna Airport's concession is extended to December 2046.

The Group's structure at March 31, 2024 and a brief description of the type and businesses of its subsidiaries and associates is presented below.

  • Tag Bologna S.r.l. (hereinafter also "TAG"), formed in 2001 and operational since 2008, following the completion and opening of the General Aviation Terminal and hangar. In addition to managing the above infrastructure at Bologna airport, the company operates as a handler in the General Aviation sector. The Parent Company on October 2, 2018, taking the opportunity to better control the dedicated airside flight infrastructure, acquired 49% of TAG to gain full ownership;
  • Fast Freight Marconi Spa (hereinafter also "FFM"), formed in 2008 by the former subsidiary Marconi Handling S.r.l. (GH Bologna Spa with effect from April 1, 2017), following the contribution of a cargo and mail handling business unit based out of Bologna airport. The Parent Company acquired a 100% interest in FFM in 2009.

The amounts in the tables in this Directors' Report are in thousands of Euro, whereas those in the comments are in millions of Euro, unless otherwise indicated. The data is from internal Parent Company sources unless otherwise indicated.

Business Description

Airport business may be divided into aviation and non-aviation activities. Aviation activities primarily consist of managing, maintaining and developing airports, which also includes security checks and surveillance, as well as aviation services for passengers, other users and airport operators and marketing activities to develop passenger and cargo traffic. Non-aviation activities primarily consist of developing airport real estate and commercial potential.

Based on the nature of operations, the Group manages the airport through the following Strategic Business Units (SBU's):

  • Aviation Strategic Business Unit
  • Non-Aviation Strategic Business Unit.

Aviation SBU

The Aviation SBU's main activities involve managing and developing airport infrastructure and in particular of:

  • providing customers and operators with efficient access to all infrastructure, both land side (terminal, baggage sorting, car parking, traffic and cargo storage) and air side (aircraft runways and aprons);
  • providing security services and services for passengers with reduced mobility (PRM's);
  • informing the public and airport users;
  • developing, revamping and expanding airport infrastructure, including installations and equipment, ensuring compliance with applicable legislation.

Consideration for such services takes the form of airport charges of the following types paid by airlines, airport operators and passengers, which the managing company collects from the carriers and the airport operators:

  • passenger service fees: these fees are due for the use of infrastructure, installations and common areas required for passenger boarding, disembarkation and hospitality and are based on the number of departing passengers, as well as whether they are bound for destinations within or outside the EU, with reductions for minors;
  • take-off and landing fees: these fees are due for all aircraft that take off and land and are calculated on the basis of the aircraft's maximum authorised weight at take-off and the type of flight (commercial or general aviation);
  • aircraft parking fees, calculated according to maximum weight at take-off and the duration of stay;
  • cargo fees based on the weight of the cargo carried by aircraft;
  • refuelling fees, assessed per cubic metre of fuel supplied to aircraft.

The Aviation SBU's other major revenue sources are:

  • departing passenger security fees: these fees are due for providing security check services, including the personnel and equipment used by the manager to provide this service;
  • checked baggage security fees: these fees are due for the equipment and personnel responsible for performing such checks;

This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail. 10

  • PRM fees: they include the fees paid for services for passengers with reduced mobility and are based on the number of departing passengers (PRM and otherwise);
  • fees for the exclusive use of premises: they include fees for using airport infrastructure dedicated to individual carriers or operators (check-in desks, offices, operating premises), calculated according to the duration of use, floor area and/or location and type of the premises used;
  • centralised infrastructure fees: these fees refer solely to aircraft de-icing services and are based on the number of winter flights;
  • cargo handling and general aviation fees and fees due for the related activities such as customs clearance and refuelling.

Non-Aviation SBU

The Non-Aviation SBU's main activities relate to parking management, retail sub-concessions, advertising, services for passengers and real estate management.

Parking

Bologna airport's directly operated paid parking areas offer approximately 5,000 car parking spaces, located in three parking areas: the first close to the terminal, the second close to airport grounds and the third located at approx. 1.5 KM away.

Retail

Bologna airport's retail offerings include internationally recognised brands and iconic brands/labels with local ties, offering a unique and distinctive shopping experience. The shopping area extends over approximately 4,000 m² and includes 32 shops. However, major modernisation works are currently underway in the Schengen departure lounge, which is impacting certain retail outlets and leading to a temporary reduction in the commercial offering.

Advertising

Advertising is managed using digital and large-format back-lit displays located in areas of the terminal's interior and exterior where the advertisements are highly visible. Campaigns involving the personalisation of particular areas or furnishings located in the airport are sometimes conducted.

Passenger services

Passenger services include a business lounge operated directly by the Parent Company. The Marconi Business Lounge (MBL) is an exclusive, comfortable environment used mostly by business passengers travelling with the major legacy carriers. The "You First" service provides arriving and departing passengers with access to exclusive services such as check-in and baggage collection assistance, porterage, gate assistance and priority boarding.

Among the other services offered to passengers is car hire: 12 rental companies offer a total of 19 specialised brands, with a total of 483 vehicle spaces available for their fleets.

Real Estate

Real estate activity is divided into two general areas: sub-concession revenues for aviation-related commercial activities, above all express couriers, and sub-concession revenues for handling services, which are subject to regulated tariffs.

The total commercial premises under sub-concession extend to over 100,000 square metres, of which over 75,000 square metres of offices, warehouses, technical service areas and hangars and approximately 30,000 square metres of outdoor space used for parking operating vehicles, manoeuvring in loading and loading areas and aircraft refuelling vehicle areas.

1 STRATEGIES AND RESULTS

1.1 AIR TRANSPORT GENERAL SECTOR AND PERFORMANCE: G. MARCONI AIRPORT OVERVIEW AND POSITIONING

At the beginning of 2024, signs of a global economic upturn emerged. However, progress remains uneven across various nations, while remaining marginally impacted by the recent conflicts in the Middle East. Against this backdrop, according to projections released by the International Monetary Fund in April, global GDP is anticipated to grow by 3.2% in 2024, mirroring the figures from 2023. This positive trend is attributed partly to the better-than-expected performance of US GDP. Nevertheless, potential escalations of conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East remain key sources of uncertainty for economic development and could contribute to rising inflation. By the end of 2023, GDP in the eurozone had plateaued for the fifth consecutive quarter, primarily due to a lack of growth in the German economy. However, GDP increased in all major European countries. According to projections released by ECB experts in March, the eurozone's GDP is expected to increase by 0.6% in 2024, followed by growth of 1.5% in 2025 and 1.6% in 2026, reflecting a weakened outlook. In Q4 2023, Italy's GDP continued to grow, albeit at a modest pace.

The price of Brent crude oil increased by 20% compared to the beginning of the year, reaching over USD 90 a barrel in April. Upward pressure was driven by higher-than-expected demand for oil and extended production cuts by OPEC+, alongside tensions in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the reference price of natural gas on European markets (Title Transfer Facility, TTF) continued its decline, dropping below the levels observed in summer 2021, prior to disruptions in Russian supply flows.

In Q1 2024, despite tensions in Red Sea maritime commerce, consumer inflation remained modest, with core inflation further decreasing due to a notable slowdown in goods prices, while the reduction in service costs was less pronounced. In Europe, preliminary estimates in March suggest that consumer inflation fell to 2.4% over the year, with ECB experts forecasting a further decline to 2.3% in 2024, reaching 2.0% in 2025, and 1.9% in 2026. This trend also kept Italy's consumer price growth at a low level (Source: Economic Bulletin, Bank of Italy, April 2024).

Against this backdrop, the IATA (International Air Trasport Association) reported a major uptick in passenger traffic in March 2024,, echoing the significant recovery witnesses throughout 2023 and finally reaching prepandemic levels, with a 16.9% increase compared to March 2023. Growth is currently being driven by international traffic (+19% compared to the same month in 2023), boosted by the reopening of the Asian market, while domestic traffic grew by 6.6% compared to the same month of the previous year. March's global cargo traffic is up on the same month of 2023 (+10.3%), reflecting a particularly poor comparative month. The growing demand for air cargo traffic therefore confirms the important role played by ecommerce in the current global landscape. In addition, the recent interest in air-sea services following the

Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.

constraints imposed on maritime traffic due to the complexities surrounding the situation in the Red Sea, emerged as an additional driver of growth, albeit to a lesser extent (Source: IATA, Air Passenger and Air Freight Market Analysis, March 2024).

European passenger traffic increased by 10.2% in Q1 2024 compared to the previous year, despite being influenced by general uncertainties concerning current macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Cargo traffic increased by 10% compared to Q1 2023, in line with the overall growth trend (Source: ACI Europe, March 2024).

After finally emerging from the pandemic, Italian passenger numbers also reported substantially higher volumes compared to 2023 (+12.4%), driven by strong international traffic performance. In March, passenger traffic was up 13.7% compared to the previous year. Cargo traffic grew by 17% in Q1 compared to 2023 (Source: Assaeroporti and Aeroporti 2030, March 2024).

Bologna Airport experienced significant growth in Q1 compared to the same period in 2023 (+8% over Q1 2023). The trend is now balanced between domestic and international traffic (+8.6% and +8.0% respectively), maintaining a stable impact on the overall volume. In Q1 2024, Bologna Airport ranked eighth in Italy by number of passengers and third by cargo volume transported (Source: Assaeroporti and Aeroporti2030, March 2024).

1.2 THE STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

The Group's strategic objectives which underlie the development of all operations are outlined below.

"Connect"

The Group seeks to maintain a varied range of flight offerings suited to various types of users by adding to the number of airlines operating out of the airport, while continuing to maintain good margins also on the new traffic generated. In terms of traffic development, the Group targets the adding of routes, with the introduction of new Eastern and long-haul destinations, while boosting frequencies to existing destinations. The Group also focuses on improving airport accessibility, through the development of ground connections and the expansion of its catchment area.

"Develop"

The investments outlined in the Master Plan and Regulatory Agreement are fundamental to the development of the Group's business. The strategy in question calls for an efficient use of the existing infrastructure's capacity and modular implementation of new investments to ensure that infrastructure capacity keeps pace with expected traffic development. The passenger terminal expansion project is a key part of the infrastructure development plan, permitting the development of - in particular - the boarding gates area, in addition to extending dedicated commercial space.

This project is complemented by targeted work to increase the capacity of some specific subsystems, such as security and passport controls.

"Experience"

The Group is focused on ensuring the constant improvement of the services offered to airport users in its fields of operation, both directly and indirectly, while also constantly improving its standards of security, quality and respect for the environment. In order to support and improve all aspects of operations and

generate Customer loyalty, the Group considers it key to develop a culture of innovation which revolves around the installation of technology that facilitates greater interaction with passengers and optimises the airport travelling experience.

"Care"

The Group is committed to all aspects of sustainability, ranging from those of an environmental nature to compliance with ethical and social principles, in view of the important role which Bologna airport plays as a vital hub for the region. The Group also strives to develop those who work at the Airport and build an organisation which responds to the evolving demands of the market and which supports the individual in their work.

The Group has furthermore identified two overarching guidelines to the strategic objectives identified above which are viewed as a touchpoint for company operations:

"Maximise financial performance"

The Group is focused on consistently improving the financial performance and on ensuring an adequate return for shareholders.

"Performing and sustainable corporation"

The Group aims to improve the efficiency and efficacy of its processes and internal structure, with a view to improving company performance and development, while paying increasing attention to sustainability in its environmental, social and governance components.

AdB share performance – prices and volumes (01/01/2024-31/03/2024)

The share performance during Q1 2024 reflects a cyclical phase of relative stability, reflecting a gradual slowdown in the global economy that began towards the end of 2023. Following a decline observed between the end of January and March, the stock remained stable until the end of the period under review, with occasional spikes coinciding with an increase in trading volumes. The average share price experienced a slight decrease compared to the previous quarter. However, it demonstrated a stronger performance compared to the same period last year, when it benefited from a positive general market boost.

2. KEY OPERATING RESULTS ANALYSIS

2.1 AVIATION STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT

2.1.1 AVIATION STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT: TRAFFIC DATA

During Q1 2024, the ongoing growth in traffic volumes marked a definitive departure from the challenging pandemic period.

During the first three months of the year, the airport recorded a total of 1,949,775 passengers, an increase on 2023 (+8.1%), with 15,789 movements (+5.9%) and 13,457 tonnes of cargo transported (+0.3%). The average load factor remained substantially stable at 81.8% in 2024 compared to 81.4% in the same period of 2023.

Total 1,949,775 100.0% 1,803,185 100.0% 8.1%

Low-cost traffic reported increased volumes compared to 2023 (+4.6%), while legacy traffic experienced an even more accelerated recovery (+15.0% compared to 2023), driven by increased movements and of the average load factor. These varying growth trends during the post-pandemic years altered the traffic mix, resulting in the sustained dominance of the low-cost share. Despite this segment offering lower margins, its share decreased from 65.6% in 2023 to 63.5% in 2024.

Although international traffic over recent years has been negatively impacted by the significant slowdowns related to continued partial restrictions on the movement of people between countries, in addition to the unstable general economic and geopolitical environment, from summer 2022 a significant recovery on prepandemic values was evident, reflecting the benefit from "revenge tourism" as a result of the lifting of movement restrictions. The trend is now balanced between domestic and international traffic (+8.6% and +8.0% respectively), maintaining a stable impact on the overall volume.

Cargo Traffic

Global cargo traffic picked up significantly in recent months, despite challenging global economic and geopolitical conditions, largely due to disruptions in shipping caused by the Suez crisis. Against this backdrop, in Q1 2024, global cargo traffic reported a 10.3% increase in volume compared to 2023. Similarly, there was a notable increase in European cargo traffic during the same period (+10% on 2023).

Regarding the Group's cargo operations, cargo and mail traffic at Bologna amounted to 13,457,459 kg in Q1 2024, showing a marginal uptick (0.3%) over the corresponding period in 2023. This outcome reflects the positive performance of air cargo, driven by the excellent results of the "combi" segment, which offset a decline in courier traffic attributed to reduced consumption and economic stagnation. Road cargo also declined.

The Aviation Strategic Business Unit's revenues consist of fees paid by users (airlines and passengers through the airlines) and airport operators for the use of the infrastructure and services provided on an exclusive basis by the Group for landing, take-off, lighting, aircraft parking and passenger and cargo operations, in addition to centralised infrastructure and exclusive-use premises.

Given the public utility aspect of airport services, airport charges are regulated by both national and EU legislation. The new regulations and implementation measures – including the models approved by the Transport Regulation Authority – require that changes to the system or amount of airport fees be made with the consent, on the one hand, of the airport manager, and of the airport's users on the other.

In Q1 2024, revenues grew compared to the same period of 2023 thanks to the trend in traffic volumes, but the growth was mitigated by decreased investments in assets under concession.

Group revenues from the Aviation Strategic Business Unit were up 2.5% overall on 2023. The individual accounts broke down as follows:

  • Passenger Revenues (-1.5%): despite an increase in passenger traffic, revenues dipped compared to the same period in 2023 due to decreased unit fares for passenger fees and passenger and baggage security;
  • Carrier Revenues (+22.3%): carrier revenues are in line with the trend in movements and tonnage and with the trend in tariffs, particularly take-off and landing tariffs, which increased on 2023;
  • Airport Operator Revenues (+24.5%): revenue fluctuated due to changes in traffic volumes and increased fees for subleasing operational spaces, providing check-in desks, and fuelling services;
  • Incentives (-21.9%): despite an increase in incentivised traffic, incentives were lower than Q1 2023 due to reduced departing passenger incentives following renewed incentive contracts;
  • Revenues from Construction Services (-42.8%): the decrease in this component can be attributed to the reduced investments made during the period.

2.2.1 NON-AVIATION STRATEGIC BUSINESS UNIT: FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Total non-aviation business revenues increased by 21.7% in Q1 2024 compared to 2023.

The individual areas of this business unit performed as follows.

Retail and Advertising

Performance in this revenue category is mainly tied to traffic, based on the contract terms in effect for most Retail and some Advertising agreements. During this period, growth (+15.6%) was solely attributed to the Retail sector, while Advertising revenues remained on par with 2023. Duty-Free emerged as the topperforming segment, with positive contributions also seen from food & beverage and other retail sectors.

Parking

The movement in parking and rail access revenues (+15.4%) was also strictly tied to the trend in traffic volumes, in addition to improved performance resulting from a new sales strategy put in place in 2023.

Real Estate

Real Estate revenues remained consistent with 2023.

Passenger services

In Q1 2024, passenger services posted growth of 14.3% on 2023, attributable both to premium services (i.e. lounge and accessory services) and car hire. The performance of the individual businesses is described below.

Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.

This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail. 21

Premium services

This business posted an increase in revenues compared to the same period in 2023 due to a growth in traffic and the share of departing passengers requiring this service. We note that Q1 2024 reported a full recovery to pre-pandemic volumes.

Self-hire sub-concessions

The quarterly results reflect the positive impact of rising passenger traffic and contractual conditions, leading to a higher percentage of royalties received by the operator. The increased penetration of car hire services at the airport also contributed to this trend.

Revenues from Construction Services

The performance of this component relates to investments in the business unit over the same period of the previous year.

Other revenues

The increase in other revenues compared to 2023 (+6.1%) is owed primarily to the fulfilment of the contribution for the funded PRECINCT project, which has concluded and has been recognised to the financial statements. The objective of the PRECINCT project is to systemise and connect the parts that make up the public and private CIs (critical infrastructures) of a specific geographical area, and thus provide cyber-physical security with a common approach that can ensure protection for the local area, inhabitants and infrastructures, meaning that PRECINCT that can be efficiently replicated for a safer Europe.

A consolidated profit of Euro 3.5 million is reported for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 1.2 million in the first quarter of 2023.

Operating revenues overall grew 9.6%. Revenues break down as follows:

  • revenues from aeronautical services were up 22.1% on 2023, as a result of the increased traffic volumes. The revenue increase exceeded the increased traffic levels, thanks to a contraction in the per-passenger incentive, on the basis of the conditions under the renewed incentive contracts;

  • revenues from non-aeronautical services grew 12% due to the performance of the various category components, as outlined in the relative section;

  • revenues from construction services (-25.2%) contracted due to reduced investments in the aviation sector;

  • other operating revenues and income: the growth on 2023 (+64.7%) was mainly driven by the contribution outlined in the non-aviation section.

This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail. 23

Costs in the period overall contracted 2.3% on the same period of 2023. These break down as follows:

  • costs for consumables and goods contracted 9.9%, due to reduced purchases of aircraft de-icing liquid and of general aviation aircraft fuel;
  • service costs decreased on 2023 (-2.3%), due to the absence of the outsourced airside PRM assistance service, brought in-house from December 2023 and lower utility costs, not fully offset by the increased costs for cleaning, consultancy and professional services, maintenance and security services;
  • the movements in the lease, rentals and other costs account (+11.5%) is mainly due to the change in traffic volume, on whose basis the concession and security fees are calculated;
  • other operating expenses decreased 5.3%, as a result of the reduced membership fees in the period compared to the previous year.

Reference should be made to the personnel costs section of this report for further details.

EBITDA of Euro 9.1 million is reported for the first quarter of 2024, compared to Euro 5.9 million in 2023.

Looking to overheads, "depreciation, amortisation and impairments" amounted to Euro 2.9 million, increasing 14.5% on the first quarter of 2023, due to the increased capex.

Provisions, on the other hand, decreased 20.1% - from Euro 1.1 million to Euro 0.9 million - as a result of the reduced accruals to the provision for doubtful accounts in view of the assessment of the substantial adequacy of the provision at December 31, 2023.

EBIT was Euro 5.3 million, compared to Euro 2.2 million in 2023 (+136.6%).

Financial management reports net financial expense of Euro 180 thousand, compared to net expense of Euro 575 thousand in the first quarter of 2023, due to the lower debt following the financial structure optimisation undertaken by the parent company in September 2023, which involved the early settlement of the Intesa Sanpaolo Spa loan for Euro 33.9 million, which had stipulated increasing SACE guarantee fees, and the signing of a new "ESG KPI Linked Loan" with Credit Agricole Italia for Euro 15 million. The reduction in discounting charges on the financial statement provisions also contributed to this result in view of the changed interest rates.

As a result of that outlined above, the Result before taxes for the period was a profit of Euro 5.1 million (Euro 1.6 million in Q1 2023). The increase in the assessable base resulted in higher income taxes, which rose from Euro 0.5 million to Euro 1.6 million in the first quarter of 2024.

The result for the quarter, entirely concerning the Group, was therefore a profit of Euro 3.5 million, compared to Euro 1.2 million in Q1 2023.

Cash flow generated by operating activities before working capital changes amounted to Euro 8.9 million, against Euro 5.7 million in the same period of 2023.

Working capital absorbed cash of Euro 6.7 million in the period, due to:

  • the reduction in trade payables for Euro 4.5 million, and in "other payables" for Euro 3.3 million, with this latter mainly due to the decrease in payables for surtaxes and IRESA;
  • partially offset by the decrease in receivables of Euro 1.8 million (trade receivables decreasing Euro 2.6 million, and other receivables increasing by Euro 0.8 million);
  • outflows for the payment of interest and the use of provisions for Euro 0.7 million.

As a result of that outlined above, cash flows from operating activities, net of working capital changes, generated cash of Euro 2.2 million, compared to a cash absorption of Euro 3.8 million in the same period of 2023.

The absorption of cash flows of Euro 7.1 million from investing activities was due to:

  • the absorption of cash from investment activities in tangible and intangible assets, mainly concession rights for Euro 11.2 million, compared to Euro 5.3 million in the comparative period;
  • the generation of resources of Euro 5 million for the reclassification into cash and cash equivalents of the time deposits with a residual duration of less than 3 months, partially offset by the acquisition of a time deposit for Euro 700 thousand;
  • the recapitalisation of the investee company UrbanV for Euro 200 thousand.

Financial activities absorbed cash flows of Euro 2.6 million (Euro 1.8 million in the first quarter of 2023), as a result of the repayment of the loan instalments maturing and the settlement of lease liabilities.

As a result, the final overall change in cash for the period was a negative Euro 7.4 million.

The Group's net financial position at March 31, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 is presented below, in accordance with Consob Communication of July 28, 2006 and the ESMA/2011/81 and ESMA32-382-1138 Recommendations of March 4, 2021.

million at December 31, 2023.

In terms of liquidity, the movement was due to the absorption of cash flows from investing activities for Euro 7.1 million, and from financing activities of Euro 2.6 million, and the operating cash flows net of the change in Net Working Capital which generated Euro 2.2 million, as outlined in the previous paragraph.

In terms of payables, the reduction follows the decrease in payables for the municipal surtax in the period and the normal settlement of financial payables.

Also compared to March 31, 2023, the increase of Euro 13.7 million was due to the increase in fixed assets, partially offset by the increase in current payables and in the provisions for risks and charges.

In terms of sources, at March 31, 2024 a net financial (cash) position of Euro 3.7 million is reported, compared to a net financial (cash) position of Euro 8.4 million at December 31, 2023, and a net financial (debt) position of Euro 1.6 million at March 31, 2023, while consolidated and Group Shareholders' Equity amounted to Euro 205.8 million (compared to Euro 197.6 million at December 31, 2023), increasing due to the overall profit in the period ahead of the recognition of the allocation approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of April 23, 2024.

3.4 KEY INDICATORS

The Directors deemed the Group's major income statement and statement of financial position indicators at and for the period ended March 31, 2024 to be immaterial due to their interim nature.

3.5 INVESTMENTS

Total Group investments in Q1 2024, net of advances for works carried out, amounted to Euro 5.8 million. In particular, Euro 3.2 million concerned infrastructure investments, alongside Euro 2.6 million for investments in airport operations.

The progress of the main infrastructural works is highlighted below:

  • Security and Passport Control Area Redevelopment: work continues with an aim to raise the efficiency of the terminal's main control subsystems, including security checks and passport control and increase the level of quality and service offered to passengers;
  • Schengen Departure Hall Reconfiguration: the Schengen departure hall expansion works, initiated at the end of 2023, continues. These works involve both the expansion of airside areas and rearrangement and improvement of the existing passenger flow structure;
  • Aircraft Parking Lot 3 expansion: work on this project continues, specifically the construction of a new fuel facility for General Aviation flights and work on the installation of new LVAs (Luminous Visual Aids);
  • New perimeter roadway: work on the new perimeter roadway is reaching completion; this comprises the execution of urbanisation works to commission the roadway and the future construction of fuel depots and aprons;
  • New Multistorey Car Park: work continues on the construction of a new multistorey car park made up of two separate buildings distributed across eight storeys (ground floor + seven upper floors), which will house 2,218 parking spaces;
  • Terminal expansion: the verification of the executive project concerning the airside area of the passenger terminal expansion works is nearing completion. The evaluation of technical proposals for the tender to appoint the executive project for the construction of the Terminal expansion building has been completed.

The main investments in airport operations to improve the service offered to passengers and increase the efficiency of company processes are listed below:

  • The replacement of rollers and installation of next-generation X-ray machines has commenced. The first two (out of a total of eight planned lines) have been installed and are now operational, seeking to streamline and expedite the security control process;
  • Supplies for expanding the security control area have been procured (walk-through detectors and shoe scanners);
  • Civil works have begun to extend the current BHS back-up system facility;
  • Works are underway on technical and Innovation Technology systems to enhance the passenger experience.

Actions focused on sustainability include:

  • Environmental compensation works: we note the completion of expropriation activities for an additional 10 hectares of land within the areas earmarked for the creation of a wooded strip along the northern perimeter of the airport site, in order to comply with the requirements of the EIA Decree Masterplan and the Regional Implementing Agreement for the Decarbonisation of the airport. Progress continues to be made on the creation of woodland, while the construction of a cycle path through the wooded area has begun;
  • new photovoltaic plants: the construction of a more powerful photovoltaic panel system compared to the previous plant covering the terminal, is nearing completion. In addition, plans are underway to build a ground-mounted photovoltaic plant north of the runway;
  • other efficiency and renewal works: charging stations for electric vehicles have been installed in the airside area and the vehicle fleet has been renewed following the procurement of an initial tranche of new electric cars.

Provisions for Renewal

The total cyclical renewal and maintenance works on the airport infrastructure and plant at March 31, 2024 amount to Euro 0.4 million, covering various interventions on installations and landside operations to ensure operational continuity.

  • the increase in the workforce outlined above;
  • increased use of temporary staffing;
  • increased costs for canteen, training, missions.

Trade union relations

In Q1 2024, the Group engaged consistently with the General Workers' Representative Body (RSU) and trade unions, focusing specifically on operational and personnel management issues during the construction phase.

While no union agreements were reached during the first quarter, plans for 2024 include the renewal of agreements concerning Performance Bonuses and Welfare.

Training of personnel

During the first quarter of 2024, the funded training programme for executives, titled "Le Radici e le Ali" (Roots and Wings), successfully concluded. It supported and accompanied the Company's initiative to revise its values, leadership model, and skills framework.

In addition, training initiatives continued, including the "SDG Action Manager" course for employees sitting on the inter-company sustainability committee, the "Arms and Explosives" course for security personnel, the "Train the Trainer" programme for 15 security supervisors on new X-ray machines, who subsequently trained the remaining staff, and the mandatory "cyber security" course, run by in-house instructors and via online platform resources, including simulated phishing scenarios.

3.7 KEY INFORMATION ON THE SUBSIDIARIES' PERFORMANCES

Fast Freight Marconi Spa

The Parent Company acquired a 100% interest in FFM in 2009. The main activity of the subsidiary is cargo and mail handling at Bologna airport. In particular, FFM is the handling agent for cargo export and import operations of carriers moved through the airport via air and for surface cargo and manages the Temporary Customs Warehouse for Non-EU Cargo arriving at the airport. The company thereafter in subsequent years developed accessory services such as booking, operating as a regulated agent and has a specialist customs operations structure.

The company prepares its financial statements according to Italian GAAP. The key indicators for the period, adjusted where necessary entirely for the purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements as per IAS/IFRS, are presented below.

At March 31, 2024, the company had 15 employees (same as December 31, 2023) and, in continuity with previous years, assigned many staff activities to the parent under a management & staffing contract which covers the accounting, administrative, legal, supervision, personnel and ICT areas.

In Q1 2024, FFM handled 5,134,634 kg of cargo, marking a 17% decrease on 2023, primarily due to the discontinuation of a temporary courier service. Breaking down the components, air traffic appears to be up 55%, while road traffic decreased by 43%, largely attributed to the loss of the courier volumes mentioned above.

Despite the traffic trends described above, overall revenues for the period increased by 17% over 2023, driven by the growth in air traffic. At the same time, cost increases, mainly resulting from personnel and service expenses, were limited to 2.9%. Consequently, the EBITDA for Q1 2024 rose by 83.8% compared to the same period in 2023, with the Net Result for the period standing at a profit of Euro 200 thousand, reflecting an 86.4% increase.

Finally, reference should be made to the disputes section with regards to the customs dispute involving FFM in 2021, as indirect representative, following the customs declaration assessments made by the Bologna Customs Office.

Tag Bologna Srl

TAG began operations in 2008 following the completion and opening of the General Aviation Terminal and hangar. In addition to managing the above infrastructure at Bologna airport, the company operates as a handler in the General Aviation sector. The Parent Company acquired a 100% interest (previously 51%) in TAG Bologna in 2018.

The company, which assigned certain staff activities to the parent under a management & staffing contract covering the legal and personnel area, had 16 employees at March 31, 2024 (17 employees at December 31, 2023).

The company prepares its financial statements according to Italian GAAP. The key indicators for the period, adjusted where necessary entirely for the purposes of preparing these consolidated financial statements as per IAS/IFRS, are presented below.

In Q1 2024, Tag experienced a slight decrease in movements (-0.4%) compared to 2023, alongside a 6.2%

increase in tonnage, confirming the positive trend seen in recent years. In Q1 2024, passenger traffic declined by 1.5% compared to the same period in 2023.

Total revenues for the period were slightly lower than 2023 figures (-0.81%), attributed to a minor reduction in catering and aircraft hangarage revenues. Meanwhile, costs decreased (-1.04%) due to higher fuel purchase expenses and increased personnel costs. As a result, there were no significant deviations from Q1 2023 in terms of EBITDA and the Net Result for the period, which remained at Euro 84 thousand.

Reference should be made to the specific paragraph of the Notes to this document for information concerning transactions undertaken during the period with subsidiaries and related parties.

4 MAIN NON-FINANCIAL RESULTS ANALYSIS

4.1 SUSTAINABILITY

In Q1 2024, the Group continued its commitment to addressing all major sustainability topics, with more than 60 projects underway. The initiatives seek to monitor and reduce the negative impact of airport activities on the surrounding environment by implementing energy efficiency actions, investing in sustainable mobility and renewable energy, taking care of employees and the local area, and for the development of an increasingly ESG-oriented business model and supply chain.

Key initiatives included environmental compensation activities, such as the creation of wooded areas along the northern perimeter of the airport grounds – including a cycle path – new photovoltaic plants and various efficiency and renewal projects, including the deployment of charging stations for electric vehicles, and the simultaneous renewal of the vehicle fleet. For further insights into the progress of the main initiatives, please refer to the "3.5 INVESTMENTS" section.

4.2 QUALITY

Service Quality in the first quarter of 2024 confirms both the strengths and challenges faced in 2023: while satisfaction remains high for cleanliness, communication and comfort, performance remains either unchanged or declined for check-in waiting times, aircraft deplaning, and baggage reclaim. Waiting time at security checks have fared well despite increased traffic and the start of construction works, thanks to effective mitigation actions introduced in terms of security resources and facilitation, along with continuous service monitoring. There have also been improvements in the service times for Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRM), both departing and arriving, compared to the previous year. Performance data is regularly shared at Regularity and Quality of Service Committee meetings with handling companies and airlines, and through periodic reporting and focused discussions on specific critical issues.

Initiatives to enhance passenger quality and experience are ongoing in 2024. With regard to ambience and decor specifically, the cross-departmental Quality & Facilitation team continues its diligent monitoring activities, including regular inspections to take the necessary corrective actions concerning maintenance and information signage. On the accessibility and mobility front, several projects to better manage vehicle flows and parking were launched in the first quarter of the year, with a focus on upgrading parking access signage. Finally, the cross-departmental Quality, Infrastructure, Communication, Commercial and Operations team continued its coordinated efforts to oversee ongoing construction works at the terminal, particularly in the security control area.

5. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

5.1 REGULATORY AGREEMENT AND TARIFF DYNAMIC FOR 2023-2026

On October 6, 2023, at the ENAC headquarters in Rome, the ENAC-AdB "Regulatory Agreement" was signed for the 2023-2026 period.

In terms of the tariffs for the four-year period 2023-2026, then, we note that on April 28, 2023, with Resolution No. 82/2023, the Transport Regulation Authority declared compliance with the requirements in relation to the proposed revision of airport fees prepared by AdB S.p.A. and approved by airport users. The requirements set out by the Authority in that resolution were, therefore, fully enacted by the operator and, subsequently, on July 13, 2023 the TRA adopted a final compliance resolution.

On October 25, 2023, the Annual Hearing of the Users of Bologna's "Guglielmo Marconi" Airport was held, concerning the determination of fees for 2024.

The supervisory activity of the Italian Transport Regulation Authority (ART), under the terms of and in accordance with paragraph 6.1.2 of the ART Model and those of ENAC concerning the approved 2024 PRM fee were completed.

In relation to the aforementioned Authority resolutions, an extraordinary appeal was submitted to the Head of State, subsequently brought before the Regional Administrative Court of Turin (RG 820/2023) by DHL Express (Italy) Srl, FedEx Express Italy Srl, and United Parcel Service Italia Srl against the Transport Regulation Authority (TRA), the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transportation, and towards AdB, for the annulment, inter alia, of TRA Resolution No. 82/2023 of April 28, 2023, on the proposed revision of the airport fees of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna for the 2023-2026 tariff period. In October 2023, the Parent Company granted a legal defence mandate, having also identified the main arguments to defend the procedural acts for which the plaintiffs seek annulment, as established in the related judgement.

At present, acceptance of the appeal is difficult to predict; however, considering both the limited significance of the contested tariff and the existing mechanisms for the distribution of costs on tariffs, the Company believes that the appeal would not, in any event, have a significant financial impact.

The first hearing set for July 10, 2024 will be rescheduled.

For all other topics within the Regulatory Framework, further details can be found in the Regulatory Framework section of the 2023 Financial Statements. At the preparation date of this Report, there are no further updates to be made.

6.2 FFM customs dispute

In referring to the Directors' Report to the Financial Statements at 31.12.2023, we indicate that, pending the decisions on appeal, the Company, for the full and broad protection of its position has instructed its legal team, through its Board of Directors, to also take precautionary action against the importer, who is believed to be the possible direct perpetrator of the charges filed by ADM against FFM in the litigation before the Tax Court. Consequently, an attachment procedure is underway, with the first hearing held on April 4, 2024, adjourned to July 11, 2024, by mutual agreement between the parties. Recent documentation filed by the Comitek Group companies has revealed pertinent information concerning FFM's position. The company, in collaboration with its legal team, is preparing necessary actions to safeguard its interests. This includes ongoing discussions concerning its role of joint and several guarantor with Customs, with a specific petition currently being drafted.

There have been no specific changes to the risk profile outlined in the Annual Report.

6.3 Tax appeal against the Tax Agency - Provincial Office

Referring to the Directors' Report at 31.12.2023, we note that, with regard to the further request for classification to category "D" notified on October 25, 2022 to the Parent Company, in terms of which on March 27, 2023 the Company initiated legal proceedings before Bologna Tax Court of First Instance (CGT) via an electronically filed notification of appeal, on April 17, 2024 the hearing was held. The ruling has not yet been issued.

As long as the land registry dispute continues, pending a final judgment regarding classification, the Group will pay the relevant IMU taxes if and insofar as the buildings are classified in a category other than "E".

6.7 Appeal against ENAC "fuellers" Regulation – LAZIO Regional Administrative Court

Regarding the Directors' Report at 31.12.2023, we note that on May 7, ENAC filed an appeal with the Council of State against the ruling of the Lazio Regional Administrative Court dated February 9, 2024. This ruling fully upheld the grounds of appeal presented by AdB, leading to the annulment of the new ENAC Regulations governing the construction and management of fuel depots and facilities at airports.

7. MAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES

The AdB Group's financial performance is influenced by air traffic, which is, in turn, influenced by the economic environment, national and international health conditions, the economic and financial situation of individual airlines and airline alliances, as well as competition, on some routes, with alternative means of transport.

Depending on the specific way in which they evolve, these factors can have a impact on long-term performance, thus resulting in changes to the Group's development policies. The areas listed below may be affected by these issues, given the pervasive and uncertain nature of the developing pandemic.

In the context of such an extreme and prolonged crisis and given the considerable commitments to infrastructure developments, the liquidity risk could manifest as difficulty in obtaining timely, cost-effective financing to cover the requirements of the operations plan. The Group has addressed this risk, on the one hand by strategically reviewing its investment plan in consultation with ENAC, identifying new priorities and implementation phases based on the 2023-2026 Regulatory Agreement, and on the other by agreeing new loans, most recently, in December 2021, with the European Investment Bank (EIB) up to a maximum of Euro 90 million. Thanks to these new sources, the current account balances and the additional credit line of Euro 5 million, the Group believes to have a flexibility of financing in line with the progress of the infrastructure development plan and with actual funding needs. With regard to the covenants of the existing loan agreements, the Group is in compliance with its contractual commitments.

The Group has sought to manage interest rate risk, in view of its outstanding financing, by entering into both fixed-rate and floating-rate facilities. The EIB loan, not yet utilised at March 31, 2024, allows a choice between fixed and variable rates, the amount of which in both cases will be determined by the EIB in relation to the timing of the loan request and the overall conditions of disbursement and repayment.

The Group's credit risk is concentrated, in that 40% of its accounts receivable at March 31, 2024 are claimed from its top ten clients (51% at December 31, 2023). In general, the credit risk is offset through specific trade payable management and control tools and procedures, in addition to adequate provisioning for doubtful accounts – taking into account the increased risk owed to the current crisis – according to the principles of prudency and in compliance with the accounting standards IFRS 15 and IFRS 9, which strengthens the ex-ante analysis approach, rather than existing receivable recovery, in the credit risk assessment processes.

The commercial policies pursued by the Group to limit its exposure involve:

  • requesting immediate payment for transactions with end consumers or occasional counterparties (i.e., parking areas);
  • requesting advance payment from occasional airlines or airlines without an appropriate credit profile or collateral;
  • requesting performance bonds from sub-concession holder clients.

This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail. 36

In accordance with the disclosure requirements set out in Article 2428, c.2, No. 6-bis, considering the criteria that inform its choice of investments, such as:

  • minimising the risk of the return of invested capital;
  • the differentiation of the credit institutions;
  • the duration, normally less than two years;
  • the return offered;

the Group believes the financial risks – understood as the risks of changes in the value of the financial instruments – to be limited.

The Group is not subject to foreign exchange risk since it does not undertake transactions in foreign currencies.

Risks arising from the conflicts in Ukraine and in the Middle East

The Group is exposed to the risk of a loss of traffic volumes to Eastern European countries due to the still ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, negative consequences on the recovery of traffic volumes are possible, but are already included both in the actual figures and in the forecasts related to impairment and are not significant. Currently, the Group, in its estimates, does not expect a recovery of traffic to/from Russia and Ukraine in the short term.

This conflict could, however, adversely affect consumer confidence, the propensity to travel and the economic recovery in general, including outside of Eastern Europe. The conflict in Ukraine could further exacerbate the rise in commodity prices, negatively impacting utility costs and supplies of certain materials. Moreover, the Cyber Security risk is increased by a phase of international conflict, in particular for critical infrastructures such as airports. The Group therefore continues to monitor developments in the conflict to identify any additional risks and impacts on the business.

This has recently been compounded by the conflict in the Middle East, which exacerbates the difficulties posed by increasing global geopolitical uncertainties.

Risk of cyber attack on information systems and technology infrastructure

The current global landscape is now characterized by the ubiquity of information systems within organisations. In today's volatile geopolitical context, exacerbated by the recent conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the increasing ability of organised hackers to attack and penetrate companies' information and technological systems and the predisposition for increasingly aggressive and significantly rising number of cyber attacks necessitate ever-more focus on the creation of cyber-security systems to protect the data of both individuals and businesses.

In light of the above, the Group has implemented cyclical and ongoing actions to protect airport systems, aiming to reduce the risk of temporary interruptions (with consequent potential disservices) and of exposure to data theft. In addition to the constant updating of software and the installation of new antivirus systems, ongoing activities include conducting periodic audits (according to ISO 27001 certification) and monthly vulnerability assessments, the execution of annual penetration tests, and the continuous training of employees and other efforts to increase awareness of cyber-security issues. The Group also has a long-term Cyber Security Governance Plan in place, in addition to IT continuity and disaster recovery procedures.

Risks of interruption of airport operations due to accidents, damage to aircraft and airport equipment as a result of intense and unforeseen weather events

As a direct cause of climate change, particularly intense and unanticipated weather events (high intensity rainfall, hailstorms, heat waves) have occurred in recent times. Some of these adverse weather events could cause operational problems, as well as a high risk of damage to aircraft and operational equipment/vehicles. As a result, the Group is exposed to the risk of damage to airport infrastructure and equipment, as well as inefficiencies and impacts on airport users, despite the fact that immediate response actions such as the Snow Clearance Plan and remote warning systems are already in place.

The possible impacts of the occurrence of one of these events on airport operations currently do not appear to be readily assessable. The Group, however, has begun planning for climate change vulnerability analyses that will include (i) assessment of climatic phenomena and their probability of occurrence; and (ii) definition of specific contingency plans for the purpose of containing possible damage and disruption caused by such climatic events.

The ESMA in the Public Statement of October 25, 2023 recommended that issuers consider climate change issues to the extent that their effects are relevant to the Company, and in this case, ensure consistency in financial disclosure between financial statements and sustainability reports, while outlining in the financial statements the timing and financial impacts of transition and adaptation plans to address climate change risks.

At the beginning of 2023, AdB commissioned the Mediterranean Center on Climate Change Foundation to conduct a climate change-related risk analysis for the airport with the goal of supporting the identification of specific adaptation strategies for assets most vulnerable to climate change in order to make them more resilient. The analysis, now in its final stages, began with the identification of the following climatic hazards to which the airport is exposed: temperature (extreme heat events and extreme cold events), precipitation (extreme rain and snow events) and wind. Subsequently, exposure factors were assessed, i.e. all infrastructural and non-infrastructure elements of the airport that could be threatened by the aforementioned climatic hazards. Finally, vulnerability factors were assessed, i.e. for each of the above elements, the propensity of the element itself to be negatively impacted by climate change was evaluated. The risk factors (hazard, exposure and vulnerability) were, finally, integrated to develop a risk matrix for each climate hazard according to the three emission scenarios outlined by the IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (RCP 2.6 low emission scenario, RCP 4.5 intermediate scenario and RCP 8.5-high emission scenario).

The final risk matrix regarding extreme heat events showed that the risk related to this climate hazard is mainly between "Medium" and "High" for most of the exposed samples in both the intermediate (RCP4.5) and high emissions scenarios (RCP8.5). This result is due to the presence of significant changes in the hazard level in the future period, and thus a significant increase in the probability of occurrence of such events, under all climate scenarios considered. For the other climatic hazards, the risk was found to be low overall, although a cautious approach to the results is necessary, especially in relation to the "rainfall" hazard and particularly in light of the floods that hit the Emilia-Romagna Region in May 2023, which stemmed in fact from extreme rainfall events.

The results of this analysis will enable the Company to define specific climate hazard intervention priorities for the airport system and targeted adaptation strategies in line with the most up-to-date scientific literature, and will thus provide the starting point for subsequent economic-financial assessments. In any case, from the analysis carried out and the assessments made so far, it is considered that:

  • a number of relevant climate change mitigation environmental compensation works have already been presented in the parent company's financial statements and investment plan (e.g., forest strip and other environmental compensation works related to the "Via decree" of the 2016-2030 Airport Masterplan);
  • a number of additional measures are already in place (e.g. a snow-protection plan, weather monitoring, employee training, de-icing procedures, etc.);
  • any additional increased costs, provisions and/or investments resulting from such should be adequately covered in the tariff dynamics.

At present, based on these considerations, climate change risks are deemed to have been taken duly into account within the scope of impairment testing, as described in greater detail in the notes to the 2023 financial statements.

Risks related to a dependence on Ryanair traffic volumes

Group operations are significantly based on relations with the leading airlines at the airport and to which the Group offers its services, including - in particular - Ryanair. Due to the large proportion of total passenger flights at the airport operated by Ryanair, the Group is exposed to the risk that the airline may scale back or discontinue entirely its operations at the airport. Ryanair passengers accounted for 47.8% of the airport's total traffic volumes in Q1 2024.

In the wake of the successful multi-year arrangement AdB and Ryanair have consolidated the partnership, started in 2008, with a new 6-year agreement signed in February 2023. Particularly, AdB and Ryanair have signed an agreement, within the framework of their respective development objectives, in order to: ensure the maintenance of an comprehensive and varied network of connections within the areas served by the carrier and also to ensure network development in line with capacity and consistent with the infrastructure development projects of Marconi airport. The agreement pursues overall long-term sustainability goals and includes an incentive scheme linked to the airport's traffic development policy.

Although in the Group's opinion Bologna airport is of strategic importance to the airline, it is still possible that Ryanair may decide to change the routes served, significantly reducing or discontinuing entirely its flights at the airport. Any reduction or stoppage of flights by the afore-mentioned airline or the stoppage or change to flights with other destinations with high passenger traffic volumes may negatively impact - even to a significant degree - the Group financial statements.

In view of the recent air transport industry crisis, any redistribution of passenger traffic among other airlines is more complex and uncertain. However, the Parent Company maintains proactive relationships and other initiatives with all sector operators.

Risk related to the effect of incentives on revenue margins

The Parent Company is exposed to the risk of a decrease in the margins of its Aviation Business Unit due to an increase in traffic volumes by airlines that receive incentives. In accordance with its incentive policy aimed at developing traffic and routes at the Airport, the Company pays some airlines – including both legacy and low-cost carriers – incentives tied to passenger traffic volumes and new routes. This policy limits incentives to levels compatible with positive margins on each airline's operations. However, should passenger traffic and the routes operated by airlines receiving incentives increase over time, the Company's positive margins could decline proportionally, with a negative impact, possibly to a material degree, on the Group's financial performance and financial position.

Although the low-cost segment's share of the Italian national market is increasing, the Group manages this risk by proactively developing traffic that generates a positive marginal contribution.

Unlike the risk of interruption and/or significant change in the volumes of traffic developed with the low-cost airlines, which is currently considered remote, risks related to potential outcomes of future negotiations on incentives that are worse than the assumptions currently included in the forecast information prepared by the Group have been the subject of specific sensitivity analyses within impairment testing, as better described in the explanatory notes to the 2023 financial statements, and have not pointed to any indicators of impairment losses.

Risk relating to a reduction in the margin of non-aviation revenues

In view of the revised contractual structures consequent to the pandemic resulting in a significant amount of variable fees, compared to the previous and more certain structures with MAG (minimum annual guarantees) there is a risk of variability of Non-Aviation Business Unit revenues - in the retail areas - related to traffic trends at the airport. Similarly, parking revenues are also affected by the same risk profile, which is closely dependent on passenger traffic at Marconi airport.

In this regard, however, the Group considers that the forecast for a recovery in traffic, corroborated in part by the initial 2024 data, results in a non-significant profile for this risk.

Risks related to implementation of the Action Plan

The Parent Company invests in the airport as part of its overall management on the basis of an Action Plan approved by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC). The Action Plan was drafted on the basis of the investments envisaged in the Master Plan according to a modular approach, the main driver of which is air traffic performance. With Order No. 0100428/P dated August 11, 2022, the National Civil Aviation Authority expressed a favourable opinion on the Investment Plan submitted by AdB for the four-year period 2023- 2026.

AdB could encounter difficulties in implementing the investments provided for under the Action Plan in a timely manner due to unforeseeable events, such as delays in the process of obtaining authorisation for and/or executing the works, delays in procurement processes for certain materials or components, with possible adverse effects on the amount of the tariffs that may be applied and possible penal risks of withdrawal from or termination of the Agreement. The execution of the planned interventions could be conditioned by the non-availability of raw materials or by sharply increasing costs. Recent international geopolitical tensions have, in fact, led to an increase in energy prices, which have reached exceptionally high levels and a general rise in inflation. These effects, together with uncertainty regarding the availability of raw materials, could lead to criticality in the supply of certain materials, an increase in operating costs linked to the functioning of airport infrastructure and an increase in the costs of carrying out certain investments.

The investment plan as remodelled from time to time, while always ensuring due and constant reporting to ENAC, will be implemented with the financial resources that are largely already available as a result of the EIB financing.

Risks related to the failure to guarantee user services by certain airport operators

The handling companies operating at the airport, in response to growing and intense competitive pressure and in order to ensure the economic sustainability of their operations, in recent years placed particular attention on containing personnel costs, as featuring a significant labour intensive component, in addition to their efficiency, even to detriment of their quality. The difficult market conditions in which these parties operate were thereafter further worsened by the crisis emerging with the COVID-19 outbreak which hits the entire air sector, making already fragile operating-financial conditions even more difficult. This situation may therefore compromise the quality and the continuity of services offered to passengers by handlers at Bologna airport. The Parent Company is working to draw up a contingency plan aimed at and limited to ensuring the continuity of services that are the direct responsibility of the airport manager, including where difficulties arise among the airport operators currently providing those services, which in 2021 began with the awarding to Tag of the H24 service and which was strengthened with the insourcing of the airside PRM service, previously entrusted to a handler as of December 1, 2023.

Risks concerning the regulatory framework

The Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. Group's core business involves acting as concession holder operating under special exclusive rights to the Bologna airport grounds. Primarily for this reason, it operates in an industry that is highly regulated at the domestic, supranational and international levels. Any change to the regulatory framework (and in particular any changes in relations with the state, public bodies and sector authorities, the determination of airport fees and the amount of concession fees, the airport tariff system, the allocation of slots, environmental protection and noise pollution) may impact operations and Company and Group results.

Risk related to the high level of intangible assets in proportion to the Group's total assets and shareholders' equity

In terms of the risk of the non-recoverability of the carrying amount of the Concession Rights recognised to intangible assets consolidated at December 31, 2023 for Euro 225 million, as per IAS 36, the Group carried out an impairment test on the most recent cash flow projections approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company and based on assumptions considered reasonable and demonstrable, in order to present the best estimate of the future economic conditions that the current situation of uncertainty - in particular on the duration of the crisis - permits.

The impairment test and related analyses of sensitivity concerning assumptions characterised by greater randomness did not point to any impairment of the carrying amounts of the concession rights recognised at December 31, 2023; therefore, no impairment losses were recognised on the assets concerned.

On the recoverability of the value of assets please also see note 4 – other non-current financial assets – and note 8 – trade receivables.

Operational restrictions and other risks resulting from exceeding airport noise zoning limits

In 2022, the LVA acoustic footprint was found to be close to airport acoustic zoning limits. Following the ministerial meeting on night flight operations, on June 13, 2023 AdB revised its nighttime landing and takeoff procedures from June, which are designed and managed by ENAV in order to decrease overflight impacts on the city of Bologna. Specifically, operational procedures by ENAV in the night time slot (11pm-6am), both on take-off and landing, avoided overflying city neighbourhoods, except where operation safety and security needs make this unavoidable, while maintaining the schedule of passenger and cargo flights for the entire season substantially unchanged. Additional measures have also been confirmed at the ministerial level, and made operational from October, which consist of departing aircraft turning earlier than provided for by the previous ascent procedures. The objective is to further reduce the overflight of populated areas, with important overall benefits in terms of the noise footprint.

As part of the noise impact monitoring and management programme, AdB prepared the calculation of the airport noise level (LVA) for the year 2023, according to the current regulations, from which certain excesses of the noise limits provided by the airport noise zoning maps were detected in areas falling mainly in the western sector of the airport featuring limited surface area and low population density. The same surveys also verified the containment of emission levels within acoustic limits in high-density residential areas located in the eastern sector of the airport (Navile, Pescarola and Corticella neighbourhoods).

In relation to the excesses detected, in the identified reported areas, of the acoustic limits as indicated above, AdB will immediately initiate the appropriate discussions with the members of the Commission as per Article 5 of Ministry of the Environment Decree of 31/10/1997, in order to develop in updated and adequate terms the acoustic remediation plan, as prescribed by the European and domestic regulations, allocating adequate resources consistent with the sustainable development plans of the airport management company and sharing with the municipalities concerned effective uses of the revenue of the IRESA purpose tax.

Within the framework of these initiatives, there is also the public commitment to setting up a multi-year fund to support soundproofing of the residential buildings most exposed to noise impact from airport operations, as described in note 16 to the financial statements.

In this regard, we note that, as per the relevant EU regulations, several alternative corrective manoeuvres may be introduced before air traffic restrictions are required. Any further investment that should result should be adequately covered by tariff dynamics.

Seasonality of revenues

Due to the cyclical nature of the sector in which the Group generally operates, higher revenues and operating results are expected in the third quarter rather than in the first and final quarters of the year. Higher revenues are concentrated in June-September, during the peak summer vacation period experiencing maximum usage levels. In addition, there is a strong business passenger component, due to the characteristics of the local business community and the presence of internationally renowned trade fair events, which offsets the seasonal peaks of tourist activity. Accordingly, financial performance figures for interim periods may not be representative of the Group's financial performance and financial position situation at the annual level.

8 ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

In this Directors' Report, various performance indicators are presented in order to permit a better assessment of operating performance and financial position.

On December 3, 2015, Consob published Communication No. 92543/15, rendering applicable the Guidelines issued on October 5, 2015 by the European Security and Markets Authority (ESMA) regarding the presentation of such indicators in regulated information circulated or financial statements published on or after July 3, 2016. These Guidelines, updating the previous CESR Recommendation (CESR/05-178b), seek to promote the utility and transparency of alternative performance indicators included in regulated information or financial statements within the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/EC in order to improve their comparability, reliability and comprehensibility.

The criteria utilised for these indicators, in line with the above communications, are provided below:

  • EBITDA: EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation) is defined by management as the pre-tax result for the year, financial income and charges, income and charges from equity investments, depreciation, amortisation and impairment. It therefore coincides, in this case, with the gross operating margin. EBITDA is not identified as an accounting measure as per IFRS and therefore should be considered as an alternative measure for the evaluation of the Group's performance. Since calculation of this indicator is not governed by the accounting standards that form the basis of preparation of the Group's Consolidated Financial Statements, the criterion used to determine and measure the indicator might not be uniform with that adopted by other groups. Accordingly, the figure in question might not be comparable with that presented by such other groups;
  • ADJUSTED REVENUES AND COSTS: total revenues net of revenues from construction services and terminal value receivable revenues on the provision for renewal and total costs net of construction service costs. Adjusted revenues and costs allow for the calculation of adjusted EBITDA as presented below:
  • Adjusted EBITDA: this is a measure used by the Group's management to monitor and assess the Group's operating and financial performance. This is calculated by subtracting from EBITDA:
    • o the margin calculated as the difference between the Group's construction revenues and construction costs as the Airport's manager;
    • o terminal value receivable revenues on the provision for renewal, where this account is understood to refer to the consideration – equal to the present value of the terminal value credit – that the airport manager is entitled to be paid at the end of the concession from the new manager for renewal work on the assets under concession that at the date concerned have not been fully depreciated according to the regulatory accounting rules (Art. 703 of the Navigation Code, as amended by Art. 15-quinquies, para. 1, of Decree-Law No. 148/2017, converted, with amendments, by Law No. 172 of December 4, 2017) and
  • Net Financial Debt/Net Financial Position: the composition of the Net Financial Debt/Net Financial Position is represented in accordance with the Consob Communication of July 28, 2006 and ESMA recommendations ESMA/2011/81 and ESMA32-382-1138 of March 4, 2021.

  • letter of comfort concerning the mortgage loan granted to the subsidiary Tag Bologna S.r.l. by Banca Agricola Mantovana (now Monte dei Paschi di Siena) which at the end of the period amounted to Euro 1.1 million.

10 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND BUSINESS OUTLOOK

No events have occurred subsequent to the end of the quarter that would require changes in terms of the presented performance or equity and financial position and that would therefore necessitate adjustments and/or additional disclosures with reference to the amounts reported at March 31, 2023.

Resignation of an independent director and non-executive director and co-option of a new director

On March 6, 2024, the Board of Directors noted the resignation submitted on February 28 by Independent and Non-Executive Director Sonia Bonfiglioli, who was also Chairperson of the Remuneration Committee. The Board of Directors on the same date approved the reinstatement of a Remuneration Committee comprising of three members, appointing Independent Director Giovanni Cavallaro and also appointing him as Chairperson.

On March 14, 2024, the Board of Directors resolved, with the Board of Statutory Auditors' approval, to coopt Claudia Bugno to replace Independent Director Sonia Bonfiglioli. The Shareholders' Meeting of the Parent Company on April 23, 2024 confirmed Claudia Bugno's appointment as an Independent Director until the natural conclusion of the Board of Directors' term or until the approval date of the 2024 Financial Statements.

Appointment of the Independent Audit Firm

Following the conclusion of EY S.p.A.'s mandate for auditing the Group's accounts upon the approval of the 2023 Financial Statements, on April 23, 2024 the Shareholders' Meeting of the Parent Company appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers S.p.A. to audit its accounts and for the related activities for the 2024-2032 period, determining the corresponding remuneration based on the reasoned proposal of the Board of Statutory Auditors, in compliance with Legislative Decree No. 39/2010. On the same date, the Shareholders' Meetings of the subsidiary companies Tag Bologna and FFM appointed Pricewaterhousecoopers S.p.A. to audit their accounts and related activities for the 2024-2026 period.

Distribution of dividends for the 2023 financial year

On April 23, 2024, the Shareholders' Meeting also approved the distribution of a gross ordinary dividend of Euro 0.264 per ordinary share. This dividend, amounting to Euro 9,537,175.56, was paid out on March 8, 2024, with coupon no. 5 dated May 6, 2024, and a record date of May 7, 2024.

Adherence to the Air Transport Decarbonisation Pact

In April, AdB signed the Air Transport Decarbonisation Pact, which seeks to expedite the achievement of air transport sustainability targets with regard to the SDGs and 2030 Agenda framework. The pact intends to achieve Net Zero Emissions by 2050.

Traffic performance

In April, Bologna airport welcomed just under one million passengers, totalling 980,834, a 12.4% increase compared to April 2023.

Passengers for the first four months of 2024 numbered 2,928,854, up 9.5% on the same period of 2023, while movements rose to 21,913, up by 7.6% from 2023. Air cargo transport from January to April totalled 14,503 tonnes, reflecting a 5.5% increase on 2023.

Operating and Financial Performance and Business Outlook

The latest traffic forecasts by Eurocontrol for the 2024-2030 period revise the overall growth of air movements downward, citing varied trends between Eastern and Western European regions due to a slowdown in growth in certain areas in November and December 2023. This slowdown was primarily attributable to reduced flight schedules for WS23-24 and flight adjustments due to weather events. The forecasts suggest an expected return to pre-pandemic movements between 2025 and 2026, followed by an estimated annual growth rate of about 2%. Trends are therefore still heavily affected by tensions stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine, recent conflicts in the Middle East, and a general slowdown in the global economy. Nevertheless, we note (i) a significant increase in movements along Asian routes, along with (ii) a notable improvement in the reported load factor, and (iii) a reduction in supply chain constraints at the busiest airports (Source: EUROCONTROL Seven-Year Forecast 2024-2030 - Spring 2024 Update, February 2024).

In the complex environment outlined above, the Group will continue to be engaged in overcoming the limits of the infrastructural capacity of certain sub-systems, with various interventions at the terminal, with a view to improving the quality of service and the travel experience of passengers, once the critical issues related to maintaining the full operation of the infrastructure and operational processes amid the construction work have been overcome. Also in the area of non-aviation services, construction work has begun on the new multi-story parking lot for a total of an additional 2,200 parking spaces available to passengers. At the same time, important commitments in the areas of innovation and sustainability continue, with concrete actions by the Group to mitigate the negative environmental impacts of airport operations, protect natural resources, improve the quality of life and well-being of the surrounding community, and provide safe and inclusive workplaces.

Accounting standards adopted for the Preparation of the Consolidated interim financial statements as at March 31, 2024

Basis of preparation

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Group (hereafter "the consolidated interim financial statements of the Group" or "consolidated financial statements") were prepared for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 and include the comparative figures for the year ended December 31, 2023, limited to the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and the comparative figures for the January 1, 2023 - March 31, 2023 quarter, limited to the Consolidated Income Statement, Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Cash Flow Statement. The consolidated financial statements were prepared under the historic cost convention, except for any financial assets held-for-sale, and any Intangible Assets comprising Energy Certificates, which were recognised at fair value, and in accordance with the going concern principle.

The consolidated financial statements are presented in thousands of Euro, which is also the Group functional currency, and all amounts are rounded to the nearest thousands of Euro, where not otherwise indicated.

The publication of the consolidated interim financial statements of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. and its subsidiaries (the Group) for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 was approved by the Board of Directors on May 15, 2024.

Content and form of the consolidated financial statements

The Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements at March 31 were prepared as per IAS 34 "Interim Financial Statements" including condensed explanatory notes in accordance with the above-mentioned international accounting standard and supplemented in order to provide greater disclosure where considered necessary. These Consolidated Financial Statements must therefore be read together with the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2023 prepared in accordance with IFRS International Accounting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB") and prepared considering the transition date to IFRS (First Time Adoption "FTA") as January 1, 2012.

The accounting standards and policies utilised are those adopted for the preparation of the financial statements at December 31, 2023, as from January 1, 2024 the new amendments to international accounting standards entered into force which did not have an impact on the quarter under review.

This interim report has not been audited.

The Group opted to apply the Separate and Comprehensive Statement of Income, as permitted by IAS 1, considering such more representative of operations. In particular, the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position has been prepared by separating assets and liabilities into current and non-current categories.

An asset is current when:

  • it is expected to be realised, or is held for sale or consumption, in the normal course of the operating cycle;
  • it is held principally for trading;
  • it is expected to be realised within twelve months from the reporting date;
  • it comprises cash or cash equivalents, upon which no prohibition exists on their exchange or utilisation to settle a liability for at least 12 months from year-end.

All other assets are classified as non-current.

A liability is considered current when:

  • it is expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
  • it is held principally for trading;
  • it must be settled within twelve months of year-end; or
  • the entity does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months of year-end.

The Group classifies all other liabilities as non-current.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are classified as non-current assets and liabilities.

The Consolidated Income Statement has been prepared by classifying income and expenses by their nature, whereas the Consolidated Cash Flow Statement has been prepared using the indirect method, according to which cash flows are classified into operating, investing and financing categories.

Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 55

Consolidation scope

The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the financial statements of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries, directly and indirectly held, approved by the respective shareholders' meetings or executive bodies, appropriately adjusted in line with IFRS. The subsidiary companies are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, or from the date in which the Group acquires control, and ceases to be consolidated at the date on which the Group no longer has control.

The following tables summarise the information on the subsidiaries at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 in terms of the Group's direct and indirect holding.

Operating Segment information

The Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Group, in application of IFRS 8, identified its operating segments as the business areas which generate revenues and costs, whose results are periodically reviewed by the highest decision-making level in order to evaluate the outcome of the decisions concerning the allocation of resources and for which separate financial statements are available.

The Group operating segments as per IFRS 8 - Operating Segment are as follows:

  • Aviation;
  • Non-Aviation;
  • Other.

The disclosure concerning operating segments for the Continuing Operations is outlined to reflect the future organisational structure of the Group, with separate disclosure for Discontinued Operations.

In relation to the operating segments, the Group evaluates their performance based on passenger revenues, separating those concerning the aviation sector from those concerning the non-aviation sector.

The account "Other" residually includes those businesses not directly attributable to the identified segments.

In Group operations, financial income and charges and taxes are not allocated to the individual operating segments.

The segment assets are those employed by the segment for operating activities or which may be allocated reasonably for the carrying out of operating activities.

The segment assets presented are measured utilising the same accounting policies adopted for the presentation of the Group consolidated financial statements.

Segment disclosure regarding the identified operating segments is undertaken as outlined below.

Aviation: refers to the airport's core business. This includes aircraft landing, take-off and parking fees, passenger boarding fees, freight fees, in addition to passenger security control fees and hand-carry and checked baggage control fees. It includes also cargo handling, customs clearance and fuelling operations. Finally, this segment includes all centralised infrastructure and exclusive assets: the centralised infrastructure represents revenues received in relation to infrastructure under the exclusive operation of the airport management company for reasons of safety, security or in view of their economic impact. Exclusive assets concern check-in desks, the gates and spaces assigned to airport operators.

Non-Aviation: operations not directly connected to the aviation business. This include sub-concession, retail, catering, self-hire and parking management operations, the Marconi Business Lounge and advertising.

The breakdown of revenues and costs between the Aviation and Non-Aviation SBU's follows the guidelines for analytic/regulatory reporting for airport management companies.

The residual accounts excluded from regulatory reporting were subsequently allocated according to the operating criteria.

The main differences were as follows:

  • accounts not considered relevant for regulatory accounting purposes which are allocated through a specific review of the individual cost/revenue items;
  • revenues and costs for construction services allocated according to an analytical breakdown of investments in the year between the two SBU's according to regulatory criteria;
  • incentives for the development of air traffic, allocated entirely to the Aviation SBU in accordance with the financial statement breakdown. For regulatory accounting purposes, however, incentives are allocated to the Non Aviation SBU in line with the provisions of the TRA guidelines on regulatory accounting in Resolution No. 38 of March 9, 2023.

COMMENTS ON THE MAIN ITEMS ON THE STATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL POSITION

ASSETS

1. Intangible assets

The following table breaks down intangible assets at March 31, 2024 (compared with December 31, 2023).

in thousands of Euro as at 31.03.2024 as at 31.12.2023 Change
Concession rights 231,928 224,716 7,212
Software, licences and similar rights 1,183 861 322
Other intangible assets 39 40 (1)
Other intangible assets in progress 700 579 121
TOTAL INTANGIBLE ASSETS 233,850 226,196 7,654

In the first quarter of 2024, Concession rights increased Euro 9.4 million gross of amortisation in the period (equal to the fair value of construction services provided in the period) and the advancements of works.

The growth in concession rights primarily stems from various initiatives launched during the quarter, including the expansion of security control zones related to reconfiguration works, and the introduction of a new connecting corridor between security and check-in areas as part of Schengen departure hall renovations, along with ongoing projects as of March 31, 2024.

These include urban redevelopment projects to construct a fuel storage facility as part the work on the new perimeter road system, in addition to the new multi-storey car park in the eastern area, with preliminary works amounting to Euro 5.7 million.

Amortisation of concession rights in the year amounted to Euro 2.2 million and was applied according to the residual duration of the concession.

Software, licenses and similar rights increased Euro 0.5 million, gross of amortisation in the period, which mainly included software licenses.

Test on the recoverability of assets and groups of assets

The Group constantly monitors financial performance and compares it with the 2024-2046 forecasts approved by the Board of Directors of the Parent Company and used to conduct impairment testing of the concession rights for the year ended December 31, 2023, which did not point to any impairment losses. In view of the performance for the first three months of 2024, against the 2024 Y-o-Y forecasts, as indicators of impairment as defined by IAS 36 are not evident, the Group confirms the relative recoverability results of the amounts recognised to Concession rights at March 31, 2024, in addition to the Group's net capital employed.

2. Tangible assets

The following table breaks down tangible assets at March 31, 2024 (compared with December 31, 2023).

TOTAL TANGIBLE ASSETS 13,459 12,624 835

At March 31, 2024, this category amounted to Euro 1.4 million before related depreciation and amortisation, and mainly concerned:

  • an X-ray machine for hand-luggage security checks and automatic roller conveyors;
  • explosive trace detection devices;
  • partial renewal of the vehicle fleet with electric vehicles;
  • servers and other IT equipment, in addition to a new telephone exchange, under construction as of March 31.

This category includes right-of-use assets, recognised in accordance with IFRS 16, which the Group recognises as a lessee primarily for the long-term lease of land used for parking, employee motor vehicles, De Icer plant and some equipment. The amount recognised at March 31, 2024 corresponds to the present value of the lease instalments falling due, which is reflected under current and non-current financial liabilities for leases.

The Investment properties item includes the total value of the real estate complex owned by the Group and intended for investment properties. This investment was initially recorded at purchase cost, subsequently measured at fair value, updated periodically through valuations commissioned by the parent company.

In the financial statements at December 31, 2022, on the basis of the appraisal carried out by an outside expert to support the fair value measurement, the value of this property complex was written down. As of the date of preparation of these financial statements, the above assessment is confirmed as no indicators of impairment emerged.

The increase in the quarter relates to the transaction to recapitalise the investee company UrbanV S.p.A.; the 5% investment was fully written-down at December 31, 2023 due to the losses recognised by the company to November 30, 2023, with the consequent reduction, as per Article 2447 of the Civil Code, of the Share Capital to zero and its simultaneous increase to Euro 100 thousand, as approved by the Shareholders' Meeting of UrbanV of January 30, 2024. The recapitalisation transaction stipulated a total subscription price of Euro 4 million, to be allocated for Euro 100 thousand to the nominal value and for Euro 3.9 million to share premium. Adb took part in the transaction with a payment of Euro 200 thousand in February 2024, of which Euro 5 thousand Share Capital and Euro 195 thousand Share Premium reserve.

Other financial assets 1,083 5 0 0 1,088
TOTAL OTHER NON-CURRENT FINANCIAL ASSETS 16,032 5 0 0 16,037

The account "Other non-current financial assets" mainly comprises:

  • Euro 4.1 million in receivables from Terminal Value relating to investments in concession rights and on the interventions carried out on the provisions for renewal of airport infrastructure. This receivable, recorded at present value, derives from application of the Terminal Value regulation as per Article 703 of the Navigation Code, which established that, for investments in concession rights and for the interventions carried out on the provisions for renewal of airport infrastructure, the airport manager shall receive from the succeeding concession holder, on conclusion of the concession, an amount equal to the residual value at that date of the investment according to the regulatory accounting rules.

Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 62

This document is a courtesy translation from Italian into English. In case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail.

  • Euro 10.9 million of equity financial instruments in Marconi Express Spa, concession holder for the construction and management of the rapid rail link infrastructure between the Airport and Bologna Central Station called People Mover. This financial instrument, subscribed by the Parent Company on January 21, 2016 for a total value of Euro 10.9 million, is recorded corresponding to the amount effectively paid or rather the cost incurred at that date. The investment, in addition to the strategic/operating interest related to improving accessibility to the airport, meets the company's objective both in relation to the collection of the contractual cash flows and to any future sale of the financial asset. In accordance with IFRS 9, since it is an equity instrument, financial assets are measured at fair value through profit or loss. In this case, considering the difficulty in measuring the fair value of these Equity Financial Instruments, the subsequent valuations of this EFI is at cost as the best fair value estimate. Due to the wide range of values that the fair value of the instrument can take as part of a valuation based on the present value of expected cash flows over a very long period such as that of the airport concession, this analysis is used only for the purpose of identifying possible impairment, which did not emerge at December 31, 2023 and at the reporting date of these financial statements;

  • Euro 1.1 million of a capitalisation product purchased in 2019, with a 10-year duration and 2029 maturity. In accordance with the standard IFRS 9, these assets are classified to the category "Held to collect – HTC", as this complies with the Group's need to invest temporary liquidity held in order to collect the contractual cash flows. In this specific case, the maturity is defined contractually, but the return is related to the capital management performance and therefore this financial instrument is measured at fair value through profit or loss.

5. Deferred tax assets

The following table presents the movements in deferred tax assets for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, compared with December 31, 2023.

Trade receivables 18,301 20,844 (2,543)
Provisions for doubtful accounts (1,832) (1,772) (60)
TRADE RECEIVABLES 16,469 19,072 (2,603)

At March 31, 2024, gross trade receivables, which include allowances for invoices and credit notes to be issued, totalled Euro 18.3 million, decreasing Euro 2.5 million on December 31, 2023.

Gross trade receivables are shown net of the provision for doubtful accounts: this latter is calculated on the write-downs carried out on the basis of specific analysis of cases in arrears and/or in dispute and to the writedown applied on the residual debtor balance, classified by customer category and overdue period, with the simplified parameter method applied, as permitted by IFRS 9 for companies with a diversified and fragmented client portfolio (Provision Matrix).

The assessment of the solvency of credit positions in the quarter resulted in an accrual of Euro 64 thousand, of which Euro 12 thousand as a direct reduction of the relative revenues as concerning amounts invoiced in the period and not considered as collectible, while the provision was not utilised.

The movements in the provisions for doubtful accounts were as follows:

PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND CHARGES (CURRENT) 467 136 0 603
TOTAL PROVISIONS FOR RISKS AND CHARGES 4,743 301 (5) 5,039

The "Risk provision for disputes" includes the updated liabilities prudently estimated, including with the help of mandated lawyers, for pending litigation. Reference should be made to the Disputes section of the Directors' Report to the 2023 Annual Accounts for further details and of this report. No new disputes emerged during the period.

The accrual in the period is due to the estimate of interest owing in relation to the fire prevention service (Euro 20.4 million at March 31, 2024), as governed by Article 1, paragraph 1328 of the 2007 Finance Act, modified by Article 4, paragraph 3-bis of Law No. 2/2009.

On the basis of the progress of litigation at the preparation date of this document, supported by an update from their advisors, the Group believes that the provisions set aside in the financial statements are adequate and represent the best estimate of liabilities for risks and charges.

Current provisions, finally, include the employee back-dated provision and, in particular, the estimated economic impact of the renewal of the Airport Operators' Collective Bargaining Agreement, which concluded on December 31, 2022.

Contingent liabilities

In relation to the customs dispute involving the subsidiary FFM in 2021, which is described in greater detail in the "disputes" section of the Directors' Report of the 2023 Annual Accounts and to which reference should be made, and concerning notices of adjustment of various customs declaration assessments, the Company, supported by the opinion of its appointed lawyers, having evaluated the dossier outlining the position and the jurisprudence on the subject, and also in light of the first instance ruling, consider it possible but not probable that the case will be lost.

In relation, finally, to the extraordinary administration of Alitalia, the Group assessed the potential liability related to the revocation of receivables arising in the six months before the procedure, for an amount of Euro 2.01 million (gross of municipal surtaxes for passenger boarding fees previously paid to the relevant authorities). At the preparation date of this document, and specifically taking account of the information noted and the defensive arguments against the advanced action, the Directors, having met with the appointed lawyers, considered it appropriate to provide disclosure in the Notes, without making any accrual, while at the same time continuing its defensive action. In any event, the case will not be settled before the end of the year 2024.

TOTAL CURRENT TAX PAYABLES 4,766 2,664 2,102

Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. 72

The increase in tax payables is due, in addition to the VAT payable absent at December 31, 2023, to the increase of the payable for direct income taxes in relation to the estimate for income taxes in the period. This specifically concerns the increase in the IRES tax base compared to 2023, thanks to the full use of the remaining 2020-2021 tax losses.

ii. Employee payables and social security institutions

The following table breaks down employee payables and social security institutions at March 31, 2024 (compared with December 31, 2023).

Current accrued liabilities and deferred income 1,664 334 1,330
TOTAL OTHER CURRENT PAYABLES, ACCRUED EXPENSES AND DEFERRED INCOME 7,771 6,613 1,158

The estimate for income taxes for the first quarter of 2024 was Euro 1.6 million, compared to Euro 0.5 million in the first quarter of 2023, as a result of the increased assessable base.

26. Related party transactions

For the definition of "Related Parties", reference should be made to IAS 24, approved by Regulation (EC) No. 1725/2003.

Intercompany transactions are carried out within the scope of ordinary operations and at normal market conditions. Related party transactions principally concern commercial and financial transactions, in addition to participation in the tax consolidation. None of these have particular economic or strategic significance for the company as they do not account for a significant percentage of the total financial statement amounts.

The Bologna Chamber of Commerce shareholders were identified as a Government party, therefore exempt from the disclosure regarding related parties as defined by IAS 24. The categorisation of the Bologna Chamber of Commerce as a Government party therefore limited the checks required for the identification of related parties to the mere identification of the Bologna Chamber of Commerce. No additional information is reported in the financial statements concerning transactions undertaken by the company with the Bologna Chamber of Commerce as no significant transactions are undertaken with this shareholder.

Transactions with subsidiary companies

Commercial transactions between the Parent Company and the subsidiary Tag Bologna Srl, in terms of receivables, principally concern the provision of administration, legal and maintenance services, including the compensation, reversed to the employer AdB, of directors of the Parent Company, in addition to the twenty-year sub-concession of the General Aviation traffic assistance infrastructure for Euro 36 thousand (Euro 27 thousand in Q1 2023).

AdB payables to the subsidiary mainly concern the capital grant for the covering of General Aviation terminal infrastructure operation and maintenance costs for the boarding and disembarking of passengers, against the financial advantage for AdB of including these costs in the calculation of passenger boarding fees, in addition to the 24H service contract. Overall, costs for TAG totalled Euro 114 thousand in Q1 2024, compared to Euro 118 thousand for the comparative period.

Non-commercial transactions with Tag concerned:

  • the tax consolidation contract renewed on the basis of the Board of Directors' motions of the companies Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Spa of February 5, 2024 (consolidating company) and Tag Bologna Srl of March 11, 2024 (consolidated company) for the years 2024-2026;
  • a letter of patronage concerning the mortgage loan granted to the subsidiary Tag Bologna S.r.l. by Banca Agricola Mantovana (now Monte dei Paschi di Siena), equal to the residual principal, which at the end of the period amounted to Euro 1.1 million.

Commercial transactions between the Parent Company and the subsidiary Fast Freight Marconi S.p.A. concern mainly the provision by AdB of the following services:

  • sub-concession of offices, areas and operating rooms;
  • management and staffing, including the following staff services: accounting, administration, finance, operating control, management reporting, personnel, legal, ICT, personnel secondment and directors' competences and Supervisory Board;
  • packages and goods x-ray controls.

Revenues in the year from the subsidiary amount to Euro 128 thousand, compared to Euro 121 thousand in Q1 2023.

The costs to the subsidiary FFM in the first quarter of 2024 amounted to Euro 1 thousand for services.

Non-commercial transactions with FFM included:

  • the tax consolidation contract renewed on the basis of the Board of Directors' motions of the companies Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Spa of February 5, 2024 (consolidating company) and FFM of March 11, 2024 (consolidated company) for the years 2024-2026;
  • the co-obligation of AdB in a number of FFM's guarantees for Euro 6 million, the most significant of which (at Euro 5.8 million) is the guarantee issued by UnipolSai to the customs authority on request of FFM for a customs dispute in which the subsidiary is involved. For more information, see the Directors' Report for the 2023 Annual Accounts.

Related party transactions

In the first three months of 2024, the parent company undertook commercial transactions with subsidiaries of the shareholder Mundys Spa (Edizione Srl) as follows:
