this report, accompanying the Condensed Consolidated Half-Year Financial Statements of the Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Group (hereinafter also the "Aeroporto Group" or "Aeroporto") for the six months ended June 30, 2024, in presenting the Group's performance indirectly analyses also the performance of the Parent Company, Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna Spa., 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 June 30, 2024 and a brief description of the type and businesses of its subsidiaries and associates is presented below:

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.
Airport business may be divided into aviation and non-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):
The Aviation SBU's main activities involve managing and developing airport infrastructure and in particular of:
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:
The Aviation SBU's other major revenue sources are:

The Non-Aviation SBU's main activities relate to parking management, retail sub-concessions, advertising, services for passengers and real estate management.
Bologna airport's directly operated paid parking areas offer approximately 4,700 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.
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 34 shops. However, major modernisation works are currently underway in the Schengen departure lounge, which is impacting certain retail outlets and leading to a reduction in the commercial offering (2 shops temporarily remain closed).
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 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 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 vehicles, manoeuvring in loading and loading areas and aircraft refuelling vehicle areas.

The global economy showed signs of improvement from the second quarter of 2024, driven by both services and manufacturing. Consumption levels in the United States continue to strengthen against a labour market which show signs of cooling, while Chinese industrial output has risen, with domestic demand however remaining weak. International trade picked up slightly following contained growth in the first quarter, despite a rise in shipping costs in May, which were higher than the levels reached at the beginning of the year following the Houthi militia attacks in the Red Sea. Against this backdrop, according to the OECD's May projections, global GDP growth in 2024 is estimated at 3.1%, in line with 2023, representing a slight improvement on February's outlook. Any worsening of the international tensions, particularly in the Middle East, continues to pose a downside risk for economic activity and trade, which may act as a driver however of inflation. Eurozone GDP returned to positive territory (+0.3% on the previous period), after five quarters of stagnation, with estimated growth of 0.9% in 2024, 1.4% in 2025 and 1.6% in 2026. GDP grew at a contained pace also in Italy, supported by services, in particular the tourism related components, against a contraction in manufacturing output.
The price of Brent crude has fluctuated widely: in April and May, prices had fallen as the risks of escalating Iran-Israel tensions diminished. They subsequently rose (approx. USD 85 per barrel), mainly due to the decision of the OPEC+ countries to extend until 2025 the voluntary production cuts agreed for 2023 and 2024. The benchmark price for natural gas has also begun to rise on the European markets (Title Transfer Facility, TTF), to in excess of Euro 30 per megawatt hour.
Inflation again began to cool from April 2024. The Federal Reserve in June maintained benchmark rates unchanged for the seventh consecutive meeting, at 5.25-5.50%, highlighting that disinflation needs to consolidate before introducing rate cuts. Also in the Eurozone, consumer inflation has declined compared to the previous twelve months, to 2.5% in 2024, to 2.2% in 2025 (coming back in line with the 2% target for the fourth quarter) and to 1.9% in 2026. The 2024 projection was revised 2/10's of a point upwards compared to last March, mainly in view of the stronger-than-expected energy component. In Italy, in the second quarter, overall inflation remained at very contained levels (Source: Economic Bulletin, Bank of Italy, July 2024).
Against this backdrop and according to the IATA (International Air Transport Association), passenger traffic in H1 2024 continued to grow at a sustained pace, although slowing - up +13.4% on the same period of 2023. Growth is currently being driven by international traffic (+17% compared to the January-June 2023 period), boosted by the reopening of the Asian market, while domestic traffic grew by 7% compared to the same period of the previous year. Global cargo traffic in the first six months of 2024 was up on the same period of 2023 (+13.4%), reflecting a slight decline in the comparative H1 2023. The growing demand for air cargo traffic therefore confirms the important role played by e-commerce in the current global landscape. In addition, the recent interest in air-sea services following the 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. The IATA however indicates that the market was negatively impacted by the cooling of a number of major economies (e.g. China), also following the easing of inflation, high unemployment levels and the real estate market crises. Despite these factors, according to the air-cargo industry sector estimates growth of 5% is forecast for the year (Source: IATA, Air Possenger and Air Freight Market Analysis, June 2024).

European passenger traffic was up 8.9% in H1 2024 compared to the previous year, despite being influenced by general uncertainties concerning current macroeconomic and geopolitical factors. Cargo traffic, in line with the general growth trend, increased by 9.6% compared to H1 2023 (Source: ACI Europe, June 2024).
After finally emerging from the pandemic, Italian passenger numbers also reported substantially higher volumes compared to 2023 (+12.1% in the first half of the year), driven by strong international traffic performance. In June, passenger traffic was up 10.8% compared to the previous year. Cargo traffic grew by 18.3% in H1 compared to 2023 (Source: Assaeroporti e Aeroporti 2030, June 2024).
Bologna Airport experienced significant growth in H1 compared to the same period in 2023 (+10% over H1 2023). The trend is now more balanced between domestic and international traffic (+12.2% and +9.3% respectively), maintaining a stable impact on the overall volume. In H1 2024, Bologna Airport ranked fourth in Italy by number of passengers and third by cargo volume transported (Source: Assoeroporti 2030, June 2024).
The Group's strategic objectives which underlie the development of all operations are outlined below.
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.
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.
The Group is focused on ensuring the constant improvement of the services offered to airport users in its fields of operation, both directly, 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.

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

The share performance during H1 2024 reflects a substantial degree of seasonality following the cyclical cooling phase in the first quarter of the year, reflecting a gradual slowdown in the global economy that emerged 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. Although against higher volumes, the average share price slightly decreased both compared to the previous quarter and against the same period of 2023, when it benefited from a positive general market boost.

During H1 2024, the ongoing growth in traffic volumes marked a definitive departure from the challenging pandemic period and the beginning of a new growth phase featuring a different traffic mix and flight schedule.
During the first six months of the year, the airport recorded a total of 5,045,265 passengers, an increase on 2023 (+10.0%), with 39,699 movements (+8.0%) and 28,158 tonnes of cargo transported (+8.7%). The average load factor was substantially stable at 82.5% in 2024, compared to 82.2% in the same period of 2023.

Low-cost traffic reported increased volumes compared to 2023 (+9.0%), while legacy traffic experienced an even more accelerated recovery (+12.6% 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 dominance of the low-cost share. Despite this segment offering lower margins, its share slightly decreased from 68.7% in 2023 to 68.0% 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 supported by the seasonality of demand, with the stronger growth of domestic traffic against the international component (+12.2% and +9.3% on January-June 2023 respectively), maintaining a stable impact on the overall volume.

Although EU traffic saw strong growth in the first half of 2023, Non-EU traffic was up significantly on the same period of the previous year (+15.1%), due to the growth of a number of key connections from/to Bologna airport (e.g. United Kingdom and Albania).

Global cargo traffic picked up significantly in recent months, despite challenging global economic and geopolitical conditions, due to disruptions in shipping caused by the Suez crisis. Against this backdrop, in H1 2024, global cargo traffic reported a 13.4% increase in volume compared to 2023. Similarly, there was a notable increase in European cargo traffic compared to the same period of 2023 (+9.6%).
Regarding the Group's cargo operations, cargo and mail traffic at Bologna amounted to 28,158,380 kg in H1 2024, showing a significant uptick (+8.7%) over the corresponding period in 2023. This outcome reflects the positive performance of air cargo, driven by the excellent results of the "combi" segment (now returning to pre-pandemic levels), which offset a slight decline in courier traffic attributed to reduced consumption and economic stagnation. Road cargo was also up significantly on the same period of the previous year.

The Aviation Strategic Business Unit's revenues consist of fees paid by users (airlines and passengers through the airlines) and airport operators for 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

In H1 2024, revenues grew on the same period of 2023 thanks to the trend in traffic volumes. The growth was mitigated by decreased investments in assets under concession.
Group revenues from the Aviation Strategic Business Unit were up 10.9% overall on 2023. The individual accounts broke down as follows:

Total non-aviation business revenues increased by 19.8% in H1 2024 compared to 2023.
The individual areas of this business unit performed as follows.
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 (+10.1%) was solely attributed to the

Retail sector, as Advertising revenues decreased on 2023 due to performance of advertising contracts with fuellers and the non-renewal of a number of contracts. Duty-Free emerged as the top-performing retail segment, with positive contributions also seen from food & beverage and other types of retail sectors.
The movement in parking and rail access revenues (+13.7%) 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 revenues remained substantially consistent with 2023.
In H1 2024, passenger services posted growth of 17.7% 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.
This business posted an increase in revenues compared to the same period in 2023 due to the growth in traffic and the significant increase in the penetration of the service, due also to an increased propensity to purchase in advance, compared to the substantial stability of purchases made directly in the lounge.
The period 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.
The performance of this component relates to investments in the business unit over the same period of the previous year.
The contraction in other revenues on 2023 (-18.8%) is due to reduced revenues from penalties and from energy efficiency and the non-renewal for 2024 of the extraordinary contribution to partially offset the increased costs incurred for electricity and natural gas, applied however in 2022 and 2023. The accrual of the contribution for the PRECINCT funded project, as concluded and accounted for, did not offset the reduction in revenues outlined above. The objective of the PRECINCT project is to systemise and connect the parts that make up the public and private Cls (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 10.8 million is reported for the first half of 2024, compared to 6.8 million in the first half of 2023.
Operating revenues overall grew 14.2%. Revenues break down as follows:
revenues from aeronautical services were up 18.9% 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 10.9% due to the performance of the various category components, as outlined in the relative section;
revenues from construction services increased (+12.2%) following the rolling out of increased investments in the non-aviation sector;
other operating revenues and income: the decrease on 2023 (-28.5%) was mainly due to the contribution outlined in the non-aviation section.

Costs in the period overall increased 6.6% on the same period of 2023.
These break down as follows:
Reference should be made to the personnel costs section of this report for further details.
EBITDA of Euro 25.1 million is reported for the first half of 2024, compared to Euro 18.7 million in 2023.
Looking to overheads, "depreciation, amortisation and impairments" amounted to approximately Euro 6 million, compared to Euro 5.4 million in the first half of 2023: the growth of 9.7% is in line with the progress of the Group investment plan. The provisions also increased (15.3%), from Euro 2.6 million to approximately Euro 3 million, due to the higher accrual to the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure.
As a result of that outlined above, and particularly, the increase in revenues, EBIT was up 50.5% to Euro 16.1 million (Euro 10.7 million in 2023).
Financial management reports net financial expense of Euro 0.9 million, decreasing slightly (Euro 0.2 million) on 2023, despite the increase in the discounting charges for provisions, thanks to the lower financial expense on loans following the transactions to optimise the financial structure undertaken by the parent company in September 2023, with the early settlement of a Euro 33.9 million loan, subject to increasing SACE guarantee commissions, and the signing of an ESG KPI Linked Loan for Euro 15 million.
As a result of that outlined above, the Result before taxes grew 59% on the comparative half-year to Euro 15.2 million (Euro 9.6 million in H1 2023).
As a result of the increase in the assessable base, increased from Euro 2.8 million in 2023 to Euro 4.4 million (+61.3%).
With growth of 58%, the net profit in the period, entirely concerning the Group, was Euro 10.8 million, compared to Euro 6.8 million in H1 2023.

The Group Net Financial Position at June 30, 2024 was a debt position of Euro 6.9 million, compared to a cash position of Euro 8.4 million at December 31, 2023.
Compared to December 31, 2023, the Euro 25 million decrease in liquidity is due to:
On the payables side, there are no significant differences compared to December 31, 2023; the movement is due to the payments of loan instalments coming due. Compared to H1 2023, the differences were due to the settlement by AdB of the Intesa Sanpaolo loan with SACE guarantee and the signing of a new loan with Credit Agricole in September 2023.

In terms of sources, at June 30, 2024 a negative net financial position (net debt) of Euro 6.9 million is reported, compared to a cash position of Euro 8.4 million at December 31, 2023, while consolidated and Group Shareholders' Equity amounted to Euro 207.3 million, compared to Euro 206 million at December 31, 2023, increasing due to the overall profit in the period, net of dividends distributed on the 2023 profit.
In H1 2024, infrastructure development therefore continued with progress on key projects in the various airside, terminal and landside areas in line with the "2016-2030 Airport Development Plan" and the content of the "2022-2026 Plan for the functional and sustainable development of the terminal area". This is a programme instrument annexed to the 2023-2026 Regulatory Agreement (Contratto di Programma - IIIOP") for short-term interventions.
For the remaining duration of the current CDP, the most critical system that limits airport capacity is the passenger terminal. Work to expand and modernise the Terminal is underway through the gradual expansion of the narrowest and most critical areas. This work will continue throughout the remaining person of the current CDP, including in relation to the updates to the work plan approved by ENAC in August 2020. Various areas of the terminal are affected by critical issues related to airport capacity saturation - in certain areas and specific sub-services - also relating to the works areas required for the extensions. These reduce parking availability and boarding waiting areas and reduce - at least until the end of the Summer Season 2024 - certain service levels at the airport.
Investments in the first six months of 2024 totalled Euro 17.4 million, of which Euro 7.1 million concerning infrastructural investment and environmental compensation and Euro 10.3 million regarding sustainability, innovation, quality and airport operations focused investments.
The progress of the main infrastructural works is highlighted below:

The main investments in airport operations, innovation, and to improve the service offered to passengers and increase the efficiency of company processes are listed below:
Actions focused on sustainability include:
The total investment for the renewal and maintenance cycle of the airport infrastructure and plant in H1 2024 amounted to approx. Euro 1.0 million, of which Euro 0.5 million for landside works to maintain operations (upgrading of the curbside canopy on the first floor, upgrading of the toilets and waterproofing works on the terminal roofs in preparation for the installation of photovoltaic panels), Euro 0.4 million for plant works (public information screens, CCTV system, chiller units and automatic doors and gates) and approximately Euro 0.1 million for airside works to restore some sections of the service road.

Personnel costs for H1 2024 increased by 10.5% on the same period of 2023, mainly due to:
H1 2024 saw trade union relations worsen, particularly as the local trade unions began a cooling-off procedure against the Group companies and airport handling companies. This was in relation to the request for a "site bonus" for all airport workers. AdB's position in this regard was that the request was inadmissible, considering it in no way a trade union issue and outside the normal rules of industrial relations.
The cooling-off procedure led to an initial 4-hour strike action being declared for July 5. Following this strike, the Trade Unions declared a second 24-hour strike against ADB, its subsidiaries and the 3 handling comanies operating at the airport for September 24.

On July 18, the Trade Unions also opened a second state of agitation (first phase of the cooling-off procedure pursuant to laws 146/90, 83/2000, as amended) concerning AdB's launch of a "beauty contest" to identify a partner for the management of the VIP lounge (MBL). This was followed by a meeting between the parties on July 31 in which AdB reiterated that this project does not put any jobs at risk as all resources not concerned by the transfer to the new operator will in any case be relocated to the airport manager's operational services without any financial loss or deterioration in their contractual status. The Trade Unions restated their opposition to the project and requested AdB to withdraw it. As no agreement could be found, the crocadire was unsuccessful. The Trade Unions thus started the second phase of the cooling-off procedure on August 2 Currently, the company is waiting for the Prefecture of Bologna to convene the parties.
During the first half of 2024, the funded training programme for executives, titled "Le Radici e le All" (Roots and Wings), successfully concluded. It supported and accompanied the Company's initiative to revise its values, leadership model, and skills framework.
The "SDG Action Manager" training course for employees sitting on the inter-company sustainability committee (Sustainability Team) also continued, as did the "Arms and Explosives" course fascurity 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 brin-house instructors and via online platform resources, including simulated phishing scenarios.
Since last year, refresher courses for security personnel are provided in-house by a Training Centre instructor certified for all ENAC categories. In addition to the annual update of all colleagues, the ENAC certified instructor provides initial training to aspiring security staff and prepares them for the ENAC exam.
In terms of digitisation and innovation, we note the Innovation and Digitalisation Course on the main Teams work tools and the addition of four Artificial Intelligence training pills to the Success Factor platfierm Thane are designed for the entire corporate population and seek to disseminate and develop basic understanding of the topic.
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 i mprt operations of carriers moved through the airport via air and for surface cargo and manages the The mpory Customs Warehouse for Non-EU Cargo arriving at the airport. The company thereaftan in subsequent years developed accessory services such as booking, operating as a regulated agent and has a speciality torns 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 June 30, 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 continact which covers the accounting, administrative, legal, supervision, personnel and ICT areas.
In H1 2024, FFM handled 10,968,132 kg of cargo, marking an 8% decrease on 2023, entirely due to the

temporary discontinuation of a courier service. Breaking down the components, air traffic was up 62%, while road traffic decreased by 35%, largely attributed to the courier volumes mentioned above.
Overall revenues for the period increased by 19.5% over 2023, driven by the growth in air traffic. At the same time, cost increases, mainly resulting from service and personnel expenses, were limited to 8.1%. Consequently, the EBITDA for H1 2024 rose by 66.1% compared to the same period in 2023, reaching Euro 0.6 million, with a Net Profit of Euro 390 thousand, a 65.9% increase.
Finally, reference should be made to Note 27 of this Half-Year Financial Report 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 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 June 30, 2024 (17 at December 31, 2023). On July 9, Tag's Board of Directors adopted an Organisation, Management and Control Model pursuant to Legislative Decree No. 231/2001, with the objective of ensuring an Internal Control System that is capable of preventing the commission of unlawful conduct and protecting the company from the administrative liability of legal persons. On the same date, the Tag Board of Directors appointed a Supervisory Board. This body is endowed with autonomous powers of initiative and control and is tasked with supervising the operation of and compliance with the 231 Model, including the Ethics Code, and ensuring that it is updated. The single-member Body consists of the Parent Company's Internal Audit Manager. Also on the same date, Tag established a system to handle whistleblowing, in compliance with the regulations in force. It has adopted a Whistleblowing Policy and provided an IT platform that can handle reports with appropriate confidentiality.
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.
After the slowdown in Q1, General Aviation traffic at Bologna airport reported a marked increase, thanks in part to the various sporting events held in the April/May period (Imola GP Championship, Moto GP Mugello, Wec Championship). Overall in H1 2024, Tag reported a slight increase in movements (8.9%) compared to 2023, alongside a 12.2% increase in tonnage, confirming the positive trend seen in recent years. In H1 2024, passenger traffic increased by 6.9% compared to the same period in 2023.
The increase in traffic served, where growth in the sale of aircraft fuel (+14.2%) was also reported, meant that total revenues for the period exceeded the 2023 figures by 14%. Costs also increased (15.2%) due to higher fuel purchase expenses and other operating costs. EBITDA amounted to Euro 0.7 million (Euro 0.6 million in H1 2023) and Net Profit for the period was Euro 351 thousand. The latter increased sharply compared to the first half of the previous year, when a profit of Euro 87 thousand was reported. This increase was mainly due to higher amortisation of "Concession Rights" related to the General Aviation fuel distribution plant destined for demolition in the current year as part of "Lot 3" construction work.

In H1 2024, the Group continued its commitment to addressing all major sustainability topics, with a number of 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 environmental sustainability measures include the ongoing construction of the 40-hectare wooded strip north of the airport (which includes a cycle path that can be used by the commity), the installation of a photovoltaic system on the terminal roof, the installation of charging stations for electric vehicles, and the concomitant purchase of electric company cars. For further insights into the progress of the main initiatives, and please refer to the "3.5.2 INVESTMENTS" section.
In the social arena, the airport's work to support its employees and the local community continue. In particular, in this period we highlight:
The Group's commitment to promoting and enacting measures that have a positive impact on its staff and the environment was recognised by its achievement of the AIDP 2024 Award for the Miput on Intelled This is an intermodal season ticket financed initially by ministerial funds and then directly by the company, which has enabled a 30% reduction in the environmental impact of commutes and a saving of more than 100 tonnes of CO2 in 2023. The company also received Generali Italia's Welfare Champions 2024 award for the Equal Opportunities and Reconciliation category, recognising the numerous work-life balance, inval rol the rior the gender equality initiatives for employees.
Finally, the Group is engaged in the "In viaggo verso la CSRD" ("On the Road to the CSRD") project. This is the path to implementing the European CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive) regulation which seeks to support investors, analysts, consumers and other stakeholders in assessing the sustainability performance of EU companies, along with the related business impacts and risks. CSRD reporting is based on the concept of double materiality and encourages organisations to disclose information on how their business activities affect society and people, and how sustainability issues offect the company's financial performance. Beyond compliance, AdB's goal is to transform and generate lasting value for all stakeholders by raising the bar for environmental and social objectives and results day after day. With this objective in mind, it is conducting the challenging project of implementing this new legislation, beginning with reporting for the current financial year.

H1 saw good service quality levels and high passenger satisfaction. In terms of perceived quality, satisfaction was generally well over 90%. Satisfaction levels remained very high for terminal and toilet cleanliness, benefitting from work on the majority of the toilet blocks carried out in 2023.
The ongoing monitoring began in 2023 by the dedicated work group continues, which monitors the indicators and takes concrete actions where considered necessary.
Waiting times mostly improved compared to 2023. Security control waiting times slightly increased due to the start-up of works, which will be undertaken for the entire year in the area. The Group launched a major hiring campaign in order to maintain the service level as much as possible, increasing both security and passenger support staff.

The ongoing expansion and modernisation work on the Terminal, as already extensively described, combined with the introduction of flight distribution that takes into account the status of a co-ordinated airport from the 2024/2025 winter season onwards, will improve the airport's service levels.
The main regulatory updates are reported below, while reference should be made to the 2023 Directors' Report for those issues not subject to amendments or supplements in the period.
On October 6, 2023, at the ENAC headquarters in Rome, the "Regulatory Agreement" between ENAC and AdB 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 and approved by airport users. The requirements set out by the Authority in that resolution were, therefore, fully enacted by the operation 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 H1 2024, Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. then put forward (receiving approval from ENAC on August 13, 2024) a justified proposal to update (pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 3 of the CDP) the annexnes to the Regulatory Agreement for the four-year period 2023-2026. This considered the most updated traffic forecasts and in any case is substantially in line with previous agreements. It also takes into account the airport co-ordination beginning from the Winter Season 2024-25 and considers the updates made to the Investment Plan based on new priorities and executive phases. The Plan also contains some new investments that bring the value of the investments in the four-year period - previously set at around Euro 110 million to approximately Euro 200 million.
The proposal, which was approved by ENAC as mentioned above, is considered to best meet the needs of the airport and its users. The reviewed, authorised reinvestment plan to 2026, accompanied by a business plan, is fully sustainable and will be entirely financed by AdB, using its own funds and bank and European Investment Bank (EIB) financing.
On December 16, 2022, the new CSRD - Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (EU Directive 2022/2464 of December 14, 2022) was published, which strengthens and extends the rules for corporate sustainability reporting. The CSRD came into effect on January 5, 2023, and member states have 18 months to transports it. The text of the delegated decree transposing the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, which was subject to public consultation until March 18, 2024, was preliminarily approved by the Council of Miciters on June 10. The legislative decree was definitely approved by the Council of Ministers on August 30, 2024. The application for companies such as AdB, which are already obliged to prepare the NFR, is from the financial year 2024.

Following AdB's request to change the airport's status from schedule-facilitated to "co-ordinated", on March 22, 2024 ENAC announced a change in the status of Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport, classifying it as "coordinated" for the purposes of slot allocation from the 2024/25 winter season (IATA Winter 2024).
For further information on the disputes, reference should be made to Note 27 of this consolidated half-year report.
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.
For further information on the management of financial risks, reference should be made to "Type and management of financial risks" paragraph at Note 26 of these Financial Statements.
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 been compounded by the conflict in the Middle East, which exacerbates the difficulties posed by increasing global geopolitical uncertainties.

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 agence 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 ystems, 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.
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/orehits could As a result, the Group is exposed to the risk of damage to aircrift and operational equipment, as well a inefficies and impacts on airport users, despite the fact that immediate response actions such as the Snow Clearance Plan, weather monitoring, staff training and remote warning systems are already in place. In 2023, AdB commissioned the Mediterranean Center on Climate Change Foundation to conduct a climate change-related risk analysis with the goal of supporting the identification of specific adaptation strategies for the most vulnerable assess in order to make them more resilient. The results of this analysis will enable the definition of specific climate hazard intervention priorities for the airport system and targeted daptation strategies in line with the most up-to-date scientific literature, and will thus provide the starting point for subsequent economic-financial assessments.
As part of its work to combat climate change, AdB participates in ACI Europe's Airport Carbon Accreditation scheme, in which it achieved level 3+ (neutrality) in 2023. It recently signed the Air Transport Decarbonisation Pact, which seeks to expedite the achievement of air transport sustainability targets with regard to the SDS and 2030 Agenda framework and, in summary, it continues to enact its decarbonisation plan to eliminate fossil fuels, electrifying the company vehicle fleet, covering all electricity needs with renewable sources, and creating a wooded strip to absorb residual CO2.
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 argorition 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 53.7% of the airports total traffic volumes in H1 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 hanye 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 discontinuine 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.
The Parent Company is exposed to the risk of a decrease in the margins of its Aviation Business Unit as, at like-for-like volumes, if airlines that receive incentives experience an increase in traffic volumes world is not offset by adequate development of traffic for those with less or no incentive, the margin would fluctuate In accordance with its incentive policy aimed at developing traffic and routes at the hirport, the Company pays some airlines – including both legacy and low-cost carriers – incentives tied to nas mer traffic vollums and new routes. This policy limits incentives to levels compatible with positive margins on each aritings operations. However, should the passenger traffic and routes operated by airines receiving incentines increase as a proportion compared to the current market structure, the Company's positive margins cold 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 significant, the Group manages this risk by proactively developing traffic that generates an increasingly positive marginal contribution, also considering the sharp increase in demand at Bologna airport.
The strong growth in traffic reported in 2023 and which continued in 2024, the ongoing work inside the terminal and the consequent need to prepare emergency operating solutions to manage passenger flows, could, in some situations, impede access to points of sale and changes in passenger flows. Such events would have an impact on the revenue-generating performance of the points of sale. This comes in addition to ENAC provisions limiting commercial spaces in favour of operational spaces.
This could see retailers potentially requesting renegotiation of sub-concession contracts and, more generally, could reduce the profitability of the retail business, pending the completion of major investments and the creation of significant new infrastructure capacity.

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. With its Order dated August 13, 2024, the National Civil Aviation Authority expressed a favourable opinion on the technical annex updates - chief amongst which is 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.
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.

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.
With regards to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2024, as indicators of impairment as defined by IAS 36 are not evident and considering that Group economic-financial performances are in line with the 2024-2046 economic-financial forecast drawn up by the Board of Directors and utilised in the impairment tests at December 31, 2023, impairment tests were not carried out as no such indicators have emerged in terms of the Concession rights recognised at June 30, 2024.
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 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
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).
The airport management company considers that among all measures, the proactive and positive procedures and ordinances shared at the Noise Commission (pursuant to Article 5 of the Ministry of the Environment's Ministerial Decree dated 31/10/1997), designed to contain the noise impact on the densely populated areas bordering the airport, have made it possible to contain the exceedances to limited and very low population density areas. These measures concerned, respectively, ENAC Order No. 5/2023 of June 14, 2023, which introduced additional operational restrictions and halved the runway operational capacity in the "night" band, which has allowed since June 19, 2023 the drastic reduction of night over the built-up area of Bologna, and ENAV's operational procedure of modifying the initial climb for Runway 12 takeoffs from Bologna, which, since September 7, 2023, by bringing forward the turn altitude from 800 feet to 520 feet, has allowed an effective shift of takeoff trajectories to areas with lower population density. Taken together, these actions have reduced the overall population exposed to airport noise levels.

Despite this, in relation to the excesses detected in these areas, in early June 2024, AdB began the technical preparatory process to define the Noise Containment and Abatement Plan ("PICAR"), which will be finalised by May 2025. The Plan will be prepared in application of the criteria under the current national and international sector regulations, with specific reference to the balanced approach introduced by Reg. 598/2014. This establishes precise criteria for the introduction of operating restrictions for the purposes of noise abatement at European Union airports. In other words, several alternative corrective measures may be introduced before air traffic restrictions are required. AdB will allocate adequate resources for any further investments that may arise and which should be adequately offset by tariff dynamics. It will also inform the municipalities concerned of the actual uses of the IRESA purpose tax and of the multi-year fund to support soundproofing work on the most exposed residential buildings, established in FY 2023 (see 2023 Financial Statements).
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.
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 measures included in regulated information or financial statements within the scope of application of Directive 2003/71/FC in order to improve comparability, reliability and comprehensibility.
The criteria utilised for these indicators, in line with the above communications, are provided below:

For details of the guarantees provided by the Group, reference should be made to Note 26 of these consolidated half-year financial statements.
On April 13, 2015 the Board of Directors of the Parent Company decided, in accordance with Article 70, paragraph 8, and Article 71, paragraph 1-bis, of the Issuers' Regulation, to opt out of publishing the disclosure documents provided for in Annex 3B to the Issuers' Regulation in the event of significant merger, spin-off, share capital increase through conferment of assets in kind, acquisition, and sales operations.
No events have occurred subsequent to the end of the half year 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 in the financial statements with reference to the amounts reported at June 30.
On August 2, 2024, the first tranche of the European Investment Bank (EIB) loan signed in December 2021 was disbursed. The first tranche totals Euro 10 million and has a term of 18 years, with a two-years grace period, at a fixed rate of 4.051%. The loan, which is for a maximum total value of Euro 90 million, is designed to support the investment plan.
On August 1, 2024, the Shareholder Agreement signed on August 2, 2021 between the Bologna Chamber of Commerce, the Municipality of Bologna, the Metropolitan City of Bologna, the Region of Emilia-Romagna, the Modena, Ferrara and Ravenna Chamber of Commerce (formerly the Ferrara Chamber of Commerce) and the Emilia Chamber of Commerce (formerly the Reggia Emilia and Parma Chamber of Commerce) governing certain rights and obligations in respect of the shareholder structure and corporate governance of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. was dissolved on its expiration. The Shareholder Agreement represented a voting syndicate ("Voting Agreement") and a transfer restriction agreement ("Transfer Restriction Agreement") relevant under Article 122, paragraphs 1 and 5(a) and (b) of the CFA.

On August 13, 2024, the Parent Company received ENAC's approval of a justified proposal to update (pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 3 of the CDP signed in October 2023) the annexes to the Regulatory Agreement for the four-year period 2023-2026. This considered the most updated traffic forecasts and in any case is substantially in line with previous agreements. It also takes into account the airport co-ordination beginning from the Winter Season 2024-25 and considers the updates made to the Investment Planhand on new priorities and executive phases. The Plan also contains some new investments that bring the value of the investments in the four-year period - previously set at around Euro 140 million - to approxims and Gro 200 million.
The reviewed, authorised reinvestment plan to 2026, accompanied by a business plan, is fully sustainable and will be entirely financed by AdB, using its own funds and bank and EIB financing.
In July and August, Bologna airport exceeded one million passengers (1,115,299 and 1,119,370, respectively), an increase of 4.2% on July 2023 and 5.6% on August 2023. Surpassing July 2024, August 2024 beoomes the month with the highest number of passengers in the airport's history. Overall, in the three summer months of June, July and August, more than 3 million people chose to fly to or from Bologna.
Passengers for the first eight months of 2024 numbered 7,274,221, up 8.4% on the same period of 2023, and while movements rose to 52,379, up by 6.3% from 2023. Air cargo transport from January to pugust or talled, 29,998 tonnes, reflecting a 10.8% increase on 2023.
The "most flown" destinations in August were: Catania, Barcelona, Tirana, Olbia, Palermo, Madrid, Brindisi, London Heathrow, Cagliari and Rome Fiumicino.
From April 1, 2021, AdB entrusted its subsidiary TAG with the handling service for "unscheduled" flights (also known as "24H" service). This entailed the acquisition of vehicles and personnel for this activity.
On July 25, 2024, ENAC carried out its final audit for the purposes of TAG's certification in accordance with Regulation Ed. 8 on the Certification of Ground Handling Service Providers.
On July 31, 2024 ENAC confirmed TAG's certification for class 2 only. This does not include any waiver for higher class aircraft, and therefore denies certification for the servicing of higher-class commercial flights, including occasional unscheduled flights in the 00-05 night-time slot, as TAG did not meet all the requirements for class 1 certification. The restriction concerns apron activities only, while passenger assistance at the terminal was granted.
Following the failure to obtain this certification, AdB has in the meantime entrusted the service to a full handling operator able to perform the activity, which is, however, unlikely to be required.
ACI Europe's forecasts for 2024 predict approximately 3% traffic growth on 2019 volumes, a significant improvement on the most recent forecast published in October 2023 (approx. +1%). Global growth continues to vary within the region, with the most positive results in Eastern European countries, which are already well above pre-pandemic levels. Even considering the disruptive environment created by geopolitical tensions and the cooling of the global economy, combined with the bottlenecks that persist at the bupolu chain level (e.g. operational workforce strikes and pressures generated by delays in the delivery of semi-

finished and finished products for aircraft production), opportunities for growth remain significant in terms of (i) the robustness of traffic growth in the first two quarters of the year, (ii) the resilience of the VFR (Visiting Friends & Relatives) segment, despite rising travel costs, and (iii) strong ongoing growth reported by Ultra LCC (Low Cost Carriers) and FSC (Full Service Carriers), which are now increasingly close to 2019 capacity. Medium-/long-term development also remains positive, though a slowdown in year-on-year growth is reported as a result of two opposing factors: on the one hand, there has been a gradual return to business travel and users are prioritising travel as a consumer choice, while on the other hand, the choice of environmental protection policies undermine the aviation industry's growth potential, also considering rising fees and ever-reducing capacity (e.g. caps on traffic development). Based on the above, ACI World estimates that passenger traffic will grow at a CAGR of 3.6% over a 30-year period. The trajectory of cargo traffic, meanwhile, remains uncertain, though it has improved on the last two years, with a CAGR of 2.7% in the period (Source: ACI Europe, European Airport Traffic Forecast Scenarios, May 2024. ACI World Airport Traffic Forecasts 2023-2052, June 2024).
The Group for the first half of 2024 reports substantially positive traffic and operating-financial results. For the second half of the year, although within the above-outlined complex environment in view of the risks related to the continued uncertainty of the market and general economy, traffic is still expected to grow, considering also the volumes reported for July and August, with a consequent impact on the operatingfinancial performance.
The Group will continue to be engaged in overcoming the limits of the infrastructural capacity of certain subsystems, 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 wellbeing of the surrounding community, and provide safe and inclusive workplaces.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.
This document is a courtesy translation from the lines of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall previl.
The Group operates in the airport management business. Specifically:
The condensed consolidated half-year financial statements of the Group (hereafter "the condensed consolidated half-year financial statements of the Group" or "consolidated financial statements") were prepared for the period ended June 30, 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 half-year January 1-June 30, 2023, 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 measured at fair value through profit and loss, and any Intangible Assets comprising Energy Certificates, which were recognised at fair value, and in accordance with the going concern principle.
For further information on risk factors, assumptions and uncertainties, please refer to the relevant paragraph in the Directors' Report.
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 condensed consolidated half-year financial statements of Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A. and the two subsidiaries (the Group) for the first half of 2024 was approved by the Board of Directors on September 11, 2024 and was subject to limited audit by PricewaterhouseCoopers Spa.

This document is a courtesy transition into English. In cose of any inconsistency between the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail.
The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30 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").
The accounting standards and policies utilised are those adopted for the preparation of the annual financial statements at December 31, 2023, to which reference should be made, with the exception of the new accounting standards, amendments and interpretations which entered into force from January 1, 2024, applied for the first time by the Group at the obligatory effective date and summarised in this document in the paragraph "Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations endorsed by the European Union adopted by the Group". The Group has not adopted in advance any accounting standard, interpretation or amendment issued but not yet in effect.
The Consolidated Financial Statements include the Statement of Consolidated Financial Position, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated cash flow statement and the statement of changes in consolidated shareholders' equity.
The Group opted to prepare the statement of comprehensive income which includes, in addition to the result for the period, also the changes to equity relating to income items which, in accordance with International Accounting Standards, are recognised under equity.
The consolidated financial statements were prepared based on the financial statements of the 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 table summarises the information on the subsidiaries at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 in terms of the Group's direct and indirect holding.

In the preparation of the condensed consolidated 2024 half-year financial statements, the same accounting standards and policies were adopted as for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023 to which reference should be made and which provides a detailed description of those principles and standards.
As of 1 January 2024, a number of amendments to international accounting standards came into force that did not have an impact on the Group's half-year consolidated financial statements as no significant applicable cases occurred.
On January 23, 2020, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 1 that seeks to clarify one of the criteria in IAS 1 for classifying a liability as non-current or the requirement that the entity must have the right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months subsequent to the reporting date. The amendment includes:
expectations regarding the possibility of using the right of deferral;
settle or could settle by issuing its own equity instruments.
In addition, on October 31, 2022, the IASB published amendments concerning non-current liabilities subject to conditions (covenants). Only the terms of a liability arising from a financing arrangement, which an entity must settle by the period-end will affect the classification of that liability as current or non-current.
On September 22, 2022, the IASB issued an amendment to this standard that specifies the requirements that a seller-lessee uses to measure the lease liability arising from a sale and leaseback transaction to ensure that the seller-lessee does not recognise any amount of the gain or loss that right-of-use it retains. The amendment seeks to improve the requirements for sale and leaseback transactions in IFRS 16 but does not change the accounting for leases unrelated to sale and leaseback transactions.
This document is a courtesy transis. In ass of any inconsistency between the wo versions, the Italian original version shall prevail.
On May 25, 2023, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 7 Statement of Cash Flows and IFRS 7 Financial Instruments: Supplementary Information, to clarify the characteristics of reverse factoring agreements and requests to provide further disclosure of such agreements. The disclosure requirements included in the amendments are intended to assist financial statement users in understanding the effects on an entity's liabilities, cash flows, and exposure to liquidity risk of reverse factoring arrangements.
Listed below are the other standards and interpretations that had already been issued but were not vet in force at the date of this document:
Lack of convertibility, in order to provide guidance for specifying when a currency is convertible and how to determine the exchange rate when it is not; the changes specify when a currency is convertible into another currency and when it is not, and how an entity estimates the spot rate when a currency is not convertible. Furthermore, when a currency is not convertible, an entity must disclose information that allows users of its financial statements to evaluate how the lack of convertibility of a currency affects, or is expected to affect, its financial performance, financial position and cash flows.
This clarifies a number of problematic issues emerging from the post-implementation review of IFRS 9, including the accounting treatment of financial assets whose returns vary upon achievement of ESG objectives (i.e., green bonds). Specifically, the changes aim to:
Clarify the classification of financial assets with variable returns and linked to environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) objectives and the criteria to be used for the SPPI test assessment;
Determine that the date of settlement of liabilities through electronic payment systems is the date on which the liability is settled. However, an entity is permitted to adopt an accounting policy to allow a financial liability to be derecognised before transferring liquidity on the settlement date under certain specific conditions.
With these amendments, the IASB has also introduced additional disclosure requirements with respect to investments in equity instruments designated to FVOCI in particular.
The amendments will be applicable to financial statements for periods beginning January 1, 2026.
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements, the new standard on financial statement presentation and disclosure, with a focus on updating the income statement.
the new key concepts introduced by IFRS 18 concern:
the structure of the statement of profit or loss;
the information required in the financial statements for certain economic performance measures that are reported outside the entity's financial statements (i.e. Management-defined Performance Measures or MPM); and
This document is a courtesy translation from Inconsistency betwen the two versions, the Italian original version shall prevail.
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1, but many of the elements of the current framework will be retained, with limited changes. IFRS 18 will not affect the recognition or measurement of items in the financial statements, but may change what an entity designates as 'operating profit or loss' now expressly defined by the standard.
IFRS 18 will apply to financial years beginning on or after January 1, 2027 and will also apply to comparative information.
In May 2024, the IASB published a new accounting standard for subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures, with the aim of simplifying the preparation of the financial statements of subsidiaries eligible for application, allowing them to apply IFRS accounting standards with reduced disclosure requirements.
The purpose of the reduced disclosure requirements is to balance the information needs of the users of the financial statements of eligible subsidiaries and the cost savings for the preparers of those statements.
An eligible controlled entity is an entity that, at the end of its reporting period:
do not have public accountability; and
is held by a ultimate or intermediate parent company that prepares consolidated financial statements available for public use in accordance with IFRS.
An entity that elects to apply the new IFRS 19 applies the requirements of the other IFRS, with the exception of disclosure requirements; thus, recognition, measurement or presentation requirements continue to apply consistently with the requirements of the relevant IFRSs.
The option to adopt IFRS 19 is voluntary and revocable in the future.
Eligible subsidiaries may elect to apply IFRS 19 for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027; early application is permitted. The approval process is currently ongoing.
Preparation of the financial statements requires the use of estimates and judgments that are reflected in the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures in the notes, including with regard to contingent assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The subsequently observed actual results for the period may differ from such estimates; estimates and assumptions are also revised and updated periodically and the effects of any changes are immediately reflected in the financial statements. The Group based its estimates and assumptions on information available at the preparation date of the consolidated financial statements.
The ESMA (European Securities and Markets Authority) outlined in its European Common Enforcement Priorities on October 28, 2022 three areas (climate change, financial impacts of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the general economic environment) which issuers should assess closely in preparing their financial statements.
We summarise below management's considerations on the aspects considered significant for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements.
This document is a courtesy tronslation into English. In cose of any inconsistency between the talian original version shall prevail
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.
As required by the ESMA in the European Common Enforcement Priorities of October 28, 2022, the financial statement impacts of risk factors related to climate change, the financial impacts of Russion of Ukraine, and the general economic environment were considered. The factors considered to have possible impacts on the Group's sector are:
With regard to the risk of changes in inflation rates and related interest rates, the forecasts used for the purpose of discounting the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure uses discount rates that already reflect the most up-to-date estimates of future interest rate and inflation trends.
With regard to the risk of changes in inflation rates and related interest rates, the forecasts used for the purposes of the impairment test on concession rights carried out in accordance with IAS 36, the discounting of the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure and the receivables from Terminal Value, uses discount rates that already reflect the most up-to-date estimates of future interest rate and inflation trends.
The legislation introduced in response to climate change may give rise to new obligations that previously did not exist. The Group has therefore put in place an environmental policy which outlines its compliance with practices to contain and reduce its environmental impact, which even go beyond the legal requirements, while also not compromising the protection of other general interests under the concession. The full implementation of this policy, which also targets the cutting of CO2 emissions, includes energy efficiency measures.
In view of this regulatory framework, management has assessed that these policies do not require the recognition of new liabilities.
It was therefore not necessary to critically review the provisions presented in the financial statements.
Reference should be made to Note 1 - Intangible Assets.
Also in light of the above considerations, the most significant estimates were the following:
Reference should be made to Note 1 - Intangible Assets.
The Group provides in the Note to the paragraph "14. Provision for renewal of airport infrastructure (noncurrent and current)" the breakdown of the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure, which includes at period-end, in accordance with the obligations assumed, accruals relating to extraordinary maintenance, refurbishment and replacement to be undertaken at a future point in time to ensure that airport infrastructure remains duly functional and secure. The provision for renewal of airport infrastructure therefore requires complex professional technical judgement, in particular in relation to the nature of the costs to be incurred, their amount and the timing of the expected interventions.
The Group provides in the Note to the paragraph "5. Deferred tax assets" the details of deferred tax assets and their value. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is based on forecasts of taxable income derived from operating and financial forecasts of the Group. Tax assets are shown net of tax liabilities as they can be offset within the same tax authority.
The Group records investment property at cost. This value is maintained as approximates the fair value of the investment properties given their particular nature (absence of a comparable active market).
The Group provides in the Notes the financial instruments. When the fair value of a financial asset or financial liability may no longer be measured based on the prices on an active market, the fair value is determined utilising various valuation techniques, including the discounted cash flow model. The inputs inserted in this model are recorded from observable markets, where possible, but when this is not possible, a certain level of estimation is required to define the fair values. The estimates include considerations on variables such as the liquidity risk, the credit risk and volatility. The changes of the assumptions on these elements may have an impact on the fair value of the financial instrument recorded.
The Group in the analysis of subsequent events to the reporting date analyses the conditions on which it is necessary to make changes on the accounting data and relative disclosures, depending on whether this concerns events occurring after the reporting date:

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:
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 item "Other" residually includes what is not directly attributable to the sectors identified.
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 ENAC's guidelines for analytic/regulatory reporting for airport management companies, in line with Article 11 decies of Law No. 248/05 and the Ministry of Transport Guidelines of December 31, 2006.
The residual accounts excluded from regulatory reporting were subsequently allocated according to the operating criteria.
The main differences were as follows:

With regards to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2024, as indicators of impairment as defined by IAS 36 are not evident and considering that Group economic-financial performances are in line with the 2024-2046 economic-financial forecast approved by the Board of Directors and utilised in the impairment tests of Concession Rights at December 31, 2023, which did not indicate any impairment, no impairment tests were carried out.

At June 30, 2024, this category gross of depreciation in period increased overall by Euro 2.5 million and mainly concerns the purchase of:
in addition to a new telephone exchange under construction as of June 30.
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 lcer plant and some equipment. The amount recognised at June 30, 2024 corresponds to the present value of the lease instalments falling due, which is reflected under current and non-current financial liabilities for rights-of-use. In the first half of the year, we highlight the termination of the lease contract for the Via della fornace (P4) car park following the expropriation for public utility, with the disposal of the relative right-of-use.
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. At December 31, 2023 and as of the date of preparation of these financial statements, the above assessment was confirmed as no indicators of impairment emerged.

The composition of the account is as follows:

The increase 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 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. The value as at June 30, 2024 therefore represents the fair value of the interest held in Urban V.

The account "Other non-current financial assets" mainly comprises:
Euro 5.2 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. The movement in the half-year is mainly related to receivables generated by investments in the period.
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 the present case, this Equity Financial Instrument is valued at fair value through profit or loss based on a model prepared internally considering the present value of the expected cash flows for the period related to the airport concession. The analyses performed did not reveal any changes in fair value for the period under review.
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.
The table below presents the overall changes in deferred tax assets presented net of deferred tax liabilities in the Statement of financial position, starting with these half-year financial statements as required by IAS 12. The respective comparative values as at December 31, 2023 have been appropriately reclassified. The directors assessed this reclassification as not significant.

The principal temporary differences on which deferred tax assets are recognised concern:
The change in "deferred tax assets" mainly includes the effect of provisions deductible for tax purposes in future years, in particular the assets under concession replacement provisions for don btful accounts and the provisions for risks and charges.
With regards to the deferred tax assets, which are recognised to the financial statements, their recoverability is reliably attributable to the underlying forecasts from the Group's most up-to-date financial projections.
The deferred tax liabilities were recorded on transition to IFRS following the application of IFRIC 12 "Service concession arrangements", as illustrated in the note relating to the Transition to International Accounting Standards IFRS in the 2014 Financial Statements. The increase in the first half of the year is attributable to the application of IFRIC 12 on investments in concession rights, as well as the recognition of deferred taxes on the IAS 19 valuation of severance benefits.

The increase is mainly due to the trade receivables for passenger boarding fee surtaxes, which is considered directly related to the traffic performance, in addition to "accrued income and prepayments", which includes insurance premiums, data processing fees and other services invoiced in advance. The increase in this aggregate was mainly due to seasonal factors.
The account "other current receivables provision for doubtful accounts" includes the provision for passenger boarding fee surtax doubtful accounts and for IRESA, obtained for reclassification under assets in the statement of financial position, as a deduction of the respective receivable, of the surtax and IRESA chargers which in the meantime were subject to administration procedures or which contested the charge.

Finally, it is recalled that at the end of 2022 AdB submitted to GH Italia S.p.A. a request for a verification of the price adjustment clause of the sales price of the holding in Marconi Handling, a clause contained in the December 2012 deed of sale of the holding that provides for a price adjustment mechanism linked to conditions which would needed to be completed by December 31, 2022 at the latest. Although checks and contacts with GH have continued in order to precisely calculate the receivable in fulfilment of this contractual clause, the difficulty in determining the amount of the receivable remains, resulting in its non-recognition at December 31, 2022, which is confirmed at June 30, 2024.

The actuarial valuation of employee benefits is carried out on the "benefits matured" with the support of actuarial experts.
The principal assumptions in the actuarial estimation process of the severance provisions for the years concerned are as follows:
As for any actuarial valuation the results depend on the technical bases adopted such as, among others, interest rate, inflation rate and expected turnover.

At June 30, 2024, the provision for the renewal of airport infrastructure totalled Euro 15.7 million (Euro 14.4 million at December 31, 2023). The increase is due to the accrual for the period of Euro 1.8 million, in addition to the Euro 0.5 million increase due to the effect of financial expenses for the discounting of cash flows. The utilisations (approximately Euro 1 million) mainly concern the upgrading works of the bathrooms and waterproofing of the Terminal's rooftop and various interventions on the plant.

The "Risk provision for disputes" includes the updated liabilities prudently estimated, including with the help of mandated lawyers, for pending litigation.
At June 30, 2024, this item mainly comprised the provisions of the Parent Company for the accruals made in the previous years, in addition to the portion in the period of Euro 269 thousand to cover the estimate of any interest due in relation to the payable for the fire prevention service (Euro 20.8 million at June 30, 2024), and for any charges relating to the dispute arising following the early resolution of a contract for works. For further details on disputes in progress, reference should be made to Note 27 Disputes.
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.
"Provisions for other risks and charges" mainly includes those accrued by the Parent Company:
• for Euro 1.8 million the accrual made in the previous year as an estimate of the reclamation charges for land earmarked for airport parking. This provision did not change in the period ahead of the completion of the planned process;
· for Euro 0.2 million the provision based on the best estimate of the commitment assumed in 2023 to establish a long-term fund to support soundproofing measures for those residential buildings most exposed to the airport's noise impact. With regards to the period under review, the movement in this provision totalled Euro 82 thousand.
Current provisions, for Euro 0.5 million at June 30, 2024, finally, include the employee back-dated provision and, in particular, the estimated economic impact of the Airport Operators' Collective Bargaining Agreement, which concluded on December 31, 2022.

Financial liabilities at June 30, 2024 totalled Euro 31.3 million, decreasing Euro 9.7 million compared to December 31, 2023, mainly due to the payment of the loan instalments maturing in the period (Euro 6.2 million), the decrease in the payables due for passenger boarding fee surtaxes and IRESA (Euro 3.3 million) for the amount received from carriers at June 30, 2024 and reversed in July to the beneficiary bodies.

In order to guarantee the necessary liquidity to support the airport infrastructure investment and development plan, in December 2021 the Parent Company signed a loan with the European Investment Bank (EIB) up to a maximum amount of Euro 90 million, for which on August 2, 2024 the first Euro 10 million tranche was received, with an 18-year duration and a two-year grace period, at a fixed rate of 4.051%. The loan agreement provides AdB in fact with the flexibility required for the progression of the infrastructural development plan and funding requirements, with disbursement available up to 48 months from signing and in multiple tranches and in any case for a total amount not exceeding 50% of the total estimated project costs. This is alongside the flexibility of the option to choose between a fixed rate and a variable rate, 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 last repayment date for each tranche shall fall no earlier than four years and no later than eighteen years from the relevant disbursement date, subject to the option for AdB to make voluntary early repayments. The contract includes negative pledges and covenants, including of a disclosure nature typical of such situations, with an early settlement obligation where control of AdB is acquired by a third party (change of control).

The loans are not covered by secured guarantees.
With reference to the cross default clauses on the loan contracts of the Group, an acceleration clause may be triggered where the Company financed is not in compliance with obligations of a credit or financial nature, or with guarantees assumed with any party.

This category of costs increased due to the provision for renewal of airport infrastructure, which represents the amount accrued during the period of the costs of restoration and replacement of the airport infrastructure to be returned to ENAC at the end of the concession in a state of efficiency and full operation. The increased provision derives from the half-yearly updating of the restoration and replacement schedule; The decrease in "other provisions for risks and charges" is due mainly to the lower accrual to the litigation in progress provision in the period.

The estimate for income taxes for the first half of 2024 was Euro 4.4 million, compared to Euro 2.8 million for the first half of 2023, as a result of the increased assessable base in the period.
With reference to IRES, we highlight the renewal for the 2024-2026 three-year period of the option for Group taxation. The estimated IRES tax charge for the first half of 2024 concerns the consolidated tax charge, corresponding to IRES of 24%.
The IRAP tax rate for the Parent Company and TAG is 4.2%, while for FFM is 3.9%.
The H1 2024 Tax Rate saw significantly higher current taxes (+Euro 3.8 million), as the first half of 2023 featured the utilisation of a portion of the tax losses recorded in financial years 2020-2021, which impacted the current income tax rate, while deferred tax assets reduced.

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 nddition to participation in the tax consolidation. None of these have particular economic or strategic significace 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 Bologia Chamber of Commerce as a Government party therefore limited the checks required for the identifies of related parties to the mere identification of the Bologna Chamber of Commerce. No additional infrimation is reported in the financial statements concerning transactions undertaken by the company with the Bologne Chamber of Commerce as no significant transactions are undertaken with this shareholder.
The following related party transactions was carried out in the period:
Commercial transactions between the Parent Company and the subsidiary Tag Bologna S.r.l., in terms of receivables, principally concern the provision of operating services (vehicle maintence and security services), administration and legal services, including the compensation, reversed to the employer AdB, of director of the Parent Company, in addition to the twenty-year sub-concession of the General Aviation traffication of infrastructure for Euro 101 thousand (Euro 53 thousand in H1 2023). The increase compared to the comparative period is mainly due to the greater number of seconded personnel and the higher vehicle maintence costs.
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, or ainst the financial advantage for AdB of including these costs in the calculation of passenger boarding fees. In addition to that above, we indicate the H24 contract. Overall, H1 2024 costs for TAG totalled Euro 231 thousand, compared to Euro 237 thousand in H1 2023.
Looking to the statement of financial position, the receivables from Tag at June 30, 2024 totalled Euro 283 thousand, of which Euro 52 thousand for the IRES tax consolidation and payables of Euro 107 thousand.
Non-commercial transactions with Tag concerned:

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:
Revenues in the year from the subsidiary amount to Euro 251 thousand, compared to Euro 241 thousand in H1 2023, while costs of Euro 1 thousand for services were incurred.
Looking to the statement of financial position, the receivables from FFM at June 30, 2024 totalled Euro 238 thousand, of which Euro 67 thousand for the IRES tax consolidation and payables of Euro 1 thousand.
Non-commercial transactions with FFM included:
During the period, the Group undertook commercial transactions with subsidiaries of the shareholder Mundys Spa (Edizione Srl) as follows:
The Parent Company, through the Regional Agreement for a Low-Carbon Airport, signed with regional authorities in 2015 and updated in January 2020, has committed to perform work with a maximum total cost of Euro 9.3 million. These investments will be carried out over a period consistent with the timeframe for implementation of the airport Master Plan. These works include the creation of a broad wooded strip north of the airport covering 40 hectares, regarding which the expropriation activities were completed in the period. The project includes a community-useable bicycle path, the first section of which has been constructed.

The "other provisions for risks and charges" in addition includes the best estimate by Management of the commitment assumed by company management to establish a long-term fund to support soundproofing measures for those residential buildings most exposed to the airport's noise impact.
The following table summarises the guarantees granted by the Group.

At June 30, 2024, the guarantees granted by the Group total approx. Euro 25.9 million and principally concern:
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 ohases based on the 2023-2026 Regulatory Agreement, and on the other by agreeing new loans. These include, in December 2021, an agreement with the European Investment Bank (EIB) for a maximum of Euro 90 million. The first tranche of the ElB loan, for Euro 10 million and with an 18 year term, was received on August 2, 2024. This funding will support the investment plan.
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 ElB loan 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 loan request and the overall conditions of disbursement and repayment. The first tranche, received in August 2024, has a fixed rate of 4.051%.

The Group's credit risk is concentrated, in that 55% of its accounts receivable at June 30, 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:
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:
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.
With regards to the disclosure concerning the types and means of non-financial risk management, reference should be made to the specific section of the Directors' Report.
This section outlines the main - fundamental in financial terms - disputes and/or those which in the period saw significant legal and/or non-legal developments, without therefore providing an exhaustive of all positions for which specific amounts have been allocated to the disputes risk provision.
In relation to the contribution to the Fund set up by the 2007 Finance Act in order to reduce the cost to the State for the organisation and provision of the fire prevention service at Italian airports, the Parent Company promoted, in 2012, a specific judicial action before the Rome Civil Tax Court, substantially requesting the Judge to ascertain and declare the cessation of the obligatory contribution following the change in the purpose of the afore-mentioned Fund, i.e. from January 1, 2009. In fact, from that date the resources accumulated in the Fund were allocated to the generic requirements of the public purse and civil defence, as well as for financing salary increases of the Fire Prevention Service.

Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.
While awaiting the civil procedure, which extended over numerous years across a series of different judges and postponements, a consolidated jurisprudence (ex pluris Rome Provincial Tax Court No. 10137/51/2014 - passed into Law - and Rome Provincial Tax Court No. 2517/2019) sealed by the pronouncement of the Court of Cassation No. 3162 of February 1, 2019 and, latterly, by the Lazio Regional Tax Commission No. 7164/2019, affirmed: i) the nature of the contribution to the Fire Prevention Fund, ii) the consequent competent tax jurisdiction, iii) the nonobligation to pay the tax from 2009, due to the non-applicability of its original legislative purpose, pending a legitimate legal provision.
In relation to the above-mentioned civil case, promoted by the Company before the Rome Court, the Tax Administrations notified however on January 16, 2015 an injunctive decree relating to the presumed contribution to the Fire Prevention Fund for the years 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010. This decree, containing clear material and formal errors, was immediately opposed, requesting the cancellation of the decree or, in replacement, to declare upon its jurisdiction and to order the reinstatement of the case before the Rome Court. On December 20, 2017, the Bologna Court issued a jurisdiction ordinance, declaring the Tax Commission as the competent judge, which cancelled Injunction Decree No. 20278/14. Unexpectedly and incomprehensibly, on May 24, 2018, the State District Lawyer notified an appeal against the ordinance of the Bologna Court of December 20, 2017.
The Company therefore appealed (RG No. 2020/18), fully outlining its defence and invoking, preliminarily, the clear lack of jurisdiction of the Bologna Court. The appeal was definitively rejected as inadmissible by the Bologna Court of Appeal in judgment No. 1718/19. This judgment became res judicata on October 28, 2019, definitively ending the dispute initiated by the administrations, which, additionally, were ordered to reimburse AdB in full for all legal costs incurred.
In October 2020, the statement of conclusions was then held before the Civil Court of Rome. On December 27, 2021, a motivated motion to receive funds was filed and, on February 2, 2022, a specific request was submitted to the section chairman of the Rome Court, who, on February 4, 2022, promptly assured us of a rapid resolution of the dispute. Finally, on February 8, 2022, the Rome Court issued its ruling No. 2012/2022 clarifying the jurisdiction of the tax court.
In order to obtain a direct recognition of the principles embodied universally by the Court of Cassation and by the Rome Provincial Tax Court, in December 2022 the Company presented the case before the Rome Court (RG No. 22375/12).
On April 17, 2023, the Rome Provincial Tax Court dismissed AdB's appeal, radically departing from all relevant precedents. AdB has, therefore, appealed to the second instance Tax Court (CTR) (RGR proceeding No. 5921/2023) the first instance ruling No. 5768/2023 issued by Section 4 of Rome's first instance CTR. In this forum, it will carry out any and all defence, also taking into account the issues referred to the Tax Court, by the latest Court of Cassation ruling No.990/2024 of January 10, 2024, reproposing a specific question of constitutional legitimacy, taking into account the allocation constraint also reconfirmed, most recently, in the Supreme Court's recent ruling and the distortion from the above-mentioned allocation made by the "Novella 2009" of the law that established the "Fire Prevention Fund".

Despite the complexity and the latest unexpected and unfavourable pronouncements, on the basis of the opinion of the appointed lawyers supporting the unchanged illegitimacy, also of constitutional significance, determined by the ex lege violation of the allocation constraint, possible settlement solutions to the entire dispute will continue to be sought at the national level, in addition to the promotion, in all relevant forums, of every attempt to repeal the 2009 rule and the issuance of a legitimate device in favour of taxpayers (i.e. airport operators) and recipients (National Fire Prevention Service for the management of fire prevention activities in the local areas of airport sites).
On November 28, 2018, the Municipality of Bologna invited the Parent Company for the first time to reconsider the cadastral classification of some properties (procedure ex L.311/2004) on airport land, based on a purported orientation of case law that would point to a different classification. This request was then reiterated on February 10, 2020, with amendments to the scope of the request, resulting, in certain cases, in the new and retroactive assessment of IMU property tax.
The Parent Company has always opposed these requests out of court within the scope of administrative procedure and with the filing, in July 2021, of a protective request with the Bologna provincial office of the Italian Tax Administration and the Municipality of Bologna, disputing the merits and underscoring the fact that the original registration of the properties concerned was done in 2007 in coordination with and based on the instructions and authentic interpretation of applicable legislation by said local Land Registry. This initial registration was, in fact, carried out in concert with the competent authority and in accordance with the provisions of Law 262/2006 and circulars 4/T 2007, which are still valid and unchanged, without even being able to point to the existence of changes in construction or other factors of non-conformity that could not be known since 2007.
Therefore, in the second half of 2021 and in early 2022, we reached the start of the concluding phase of this procedure by way of a potential proposed settlement with the Municipality of Bologna with regard to IMU, following the official measure for the cadastral assignment, as per Law 311/04, for these properties, as communicated on December 13, 2021, by the Bologna provincial office of the Italian Tax Administration responsible for land registration.
Therefore, the Group decided to submit a proposal for settlement, with limited and justified concessions in the interest of the company and without the assessment of the sanctions demanded by the Municipality of Bologna, in light of the provisions of Law 212/2000 (the Taxpayers Law), given the legitimate expectations of the companies of the Group. The voluntary settlement proposal is not an admission of guilt and is solely motivated so as to settle the 2015-2020 period of taxation without having to contest the individual assessments for each year and to avoid a tax dispute that would, in any event, be excessively costly.
The position was conclusively finalised with the signature of the deed of adhesion and the payment by AdB and TAG of a total of Euro 152 thousand in IMU tax in April 2022, with a request to exclude administrative penalties.

At the same time, on February 9, 2022, a tax appeal has been filed against the Land Registry and Tax Administration to contest the classification of December 13, 2021, for which we fundamentally dispute the assumptions and justifications. On May 18, 2022, the appeal was filed with the Bologna Provincial Tax Commission for the purpose of settling the dispute, following the rejection of the attempted mediation communicated together with a draft of the counter arguments of the other party. On June 3, 2022, the Tax Agency - Bologna Provincial Office filed Counterclaims to the Parent Company's legal team has filed various rebuttals to the Office's Counterclaims in further illustration and emphasis of the arguments made in the introductory appeal.
The hearing on the merits before the competent Tax Commission was held on March 7, 2023, the outcome of which was favourable, with the Tax Court of First Instance of Bologna - with ruling No. 123/2023 filed on March 13, 2023 - having accepted the Group's reasons in full, ruling - disregarding all contrary objections - for the annulment of the contested act and compensating for costs.
On October 11, 2023, the Italian Tax Agency - Bologna Provincial Branch nevertheless submitted an appeal, challenging the favourable result issued by the Tax Court of First Instance. On December 6, 2023, the Parent Company's legal team submitted the appropriate counterclaims by the legal deadlines, in order to further illustrate the arguments supporting the positions of the Parent Company.
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 the Bologna Tax Court of First Instance (CGT) via an electronically filed notification of appeal.
On April 17, 2024, section 1 of the Bologna CGT, with ruling no. 350/2024 of 17/07/2024, fully upheld AdB's appeal and, consequently, cancelled the contested category assessment notice, finding, in the opinion of the Court, that the correct cadastral category for the disputed building is E/1. To date, no appeal has been filed by the Bologna Provincial Directorate of the Tax Agency.
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". Subsequently, within the terms of the law, the Group will make any claims for reimbursement of the amount paid.
Reference should be made to the Directors' Report to the financial statements as at 31.12.2023.

The provision for litigation in progress at the beginning of the period also includes an allocation for a dispute related to a tender contract for works to reconfigure the Parent Company's Security and Passport Control Area, which, on June 16, 2022 and at the proposal of the Public Contracts Manager, was terminated for damages due to a serious delay attributable to the Contractor. The order is pursuant to and for the purposes of Article 108 of Legislative Decree No. 50/2016. This was followed by the preparation, on an adversarial basis, of the state of progression following the aforementioned contractual termination, and later the preparation of the job order accounting by the Director of Works. On July 1, 2022 the Contractor filed requests and claims for compensation, and following the termination of the contract in damages, activated preliminary proceedings for an evaluation of these requests, acquiring from the Public Contracts Manager the confidential Director of Works' report. This report suggests (albeit subject to further study by the Public Contracts Manager and the formulation by the same of a proposal in this regard) the substantial and near total inadequacy of the counterparty's claims and a lack of basis for them and, therefore, the rejection of these claims (which totalled approx. Euro 2.18 million). In this regard, we note the beginning of measures to enforce the guarantees held by the Customer and also the beginning of litigation by the Contractor, which has served a writ of summons for compensation for damages allegedly caused as a result of the aforementioned contract termination. At present, the Court of Bologna has already issued two judicial payment injunctions for the repayment of advances received and the enforcement of the final guarantee, respectively. Both injunctions were opposed. The Parent Company, regarding the main case introduced by the contractor with the citation before the Court of Bologna (Case No. 10935/2022), through its attorneys, has prepared an appearance, calling to the case the Designer and Works Department. At the hearing of September 20, acknowledging the inability to reach an out-of-court settlement of the Court reserved a decision on the multiple requests of the parent Company, with the support of legal counsel, assesses the risk of loss as possible, yet considers a loss to the plaintiff's claim to be remote.
These are two disputes brought by AdB with appeals to the Administrative Judicial Authority (Regional Administrative Court of Emilia-Romagna) for the annulment of ENAC - Emilia-Romagna Territorial Directorate measures.
They relate to the denial of the reasoned application to extend two sub-concession contracts for areas on airport premises for aviation fuel storage and refuelling facilities and the provision of related fuelling services, and for the annulment of all other prior and subsequent, preparatory or consequential measures in any way connected with the contested measures.
The appeals are newly lodged and were registered in late July 2024.
The contested measures do not affect the operators' current activities nor, therefore, refuelling for the airport's carriers, but rather the relocation of the fuel distribution facilities (for aircraft) envisaged in the Master Plan. These require new investments and as such also the necessary extensions in duration of the sub-concession rights to allow for due amortisation.

In relation to the resolutions passed by the Transport Regulation Authority (hereinafter "TRA") relating to charges and fees for the regulatory period 2023-2026, 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 TRA, the Ministry for 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 some airport fees of Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport 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.
On April 20, 2021, the Bologna Customs Office issued a notice of correction of several customs declaration assessments to the subsidiary FFM, following controls carried out in 2020 on behalf of third party importers on personal protective equipment, as part of the COVID-19 emergency and also to be delivered to Emilia-Romagna healthcare authorities. As Customs did not deem that the conditions for exemption from import duties and exemption from value added tax on importation had been met in the cases in question, the notices presented an invitation to FFM to settle the higher duties and VAT, together with interest on arrears, amounting to approximately Euro 4.3 million, within 10 days. The aforementioned notices identified FFM (indirect representation declarant courier) and severally, the importers (legal and physical persons) as the parties obliged to pay.
Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi di Bologna S.p.A.
This document is a courtesy translation in case of any inconsistency between the two versions, the talian original version shall prevail
FFM considers that it has always operated with absolute correctness and legality and, in particular, during the most critical phases of the pandemic, as a cargo sector operator, nifa ni particular, in particular, in the following requests and contacts from regional and local authorities, making the greatest operational and managerial efforts to provide assistance to the extraordinary cargo flights that imported into Italy the medical equipment that was highly sought after by local hospitals and healthcare authorities. The operations were carried out by the subsidiary in full compliance with procedures and regulations, insofar as they were the responsibility of the latter, and therefore strongly rejects the claims of the claims authorities. Consequently, FFM has assigned its defence to lawyers specialising in this area and has lodged an appeal against the above notices within the legal term of 60 days of notification. This is in order to put forward all possible defences, in view of the fact that it is not responsible whatsoever for the alleged failure, by the importer and in an action subsequent to importation and in no way verifiable by FFM at the time of its own if an action subscudent to the destination of the goods and, therefore, with all the conditions legitimising the aforesaid exemption, Requests for suspension have also been made in connection with the proposed appeals. In particular, following the request filed with the Bologna Customs Authority pursuant to Article 45 of the UCC for the suspension of the notices of assessment, FFM obtained such a suspension subject to issuance of a bank or insurance euarantee.
FFM therefore proceeded to seek an adequate guarantee, which was finalised in October 2021 with a leading national insurance company in accordance with the conditions and terms prescribed by the Customs Authority. This guarantee included a co-obligation for the Parent Company. In the meantime, having verified the tax proceedings before the Bologna Provincial Tax Commission and following the outcome of the October 13, 2021 hearing, the suspension motion filed by FFM was rejected. This circumstance does not, in any event, affect the assessment of the likelihood of the Company losing the case, which continues, ahead of the setting of the relevant hearing.
Following the Company's submission of a further justified request accompanied by an addendum to the guarantee policy undertaken, the total amount guaranteed remaining unchanged, the Bologna Customs Authority ordered the definitive suspension of the enforceability of the measures.
In rulings filed on July 19, 2022, the PTC only partially upheld FFM's appeals. Specifically, the Court found in favour of the argument that VAT on imports after May 19, 2021 is not due (approximately Euro 0.8 million) and disputed the issue of the indirect representative's non-liability with respect to VAT, a tax for which the importer is exclusively responsible. It did not, however, uphold the relevant ground of appeal (see Court of Justice C 714-20 of May 12, 2022, Court of Cassation No. 23526 of July 27, 2022).
Following the outcome of a review procedure, the Customs Office re-notified the Company - prior to the publication on July 19, 2022 of the ruling by the aforementioned Bologna PTC - of the assessment reports that were the subject of the appeal, with a partial revision of the amounts. These reports are subject to the directly enforceable provision of the aforementioned PTC ruling insofar as it relates to the adjustment of VAT erroneously claimed. In relation to this request, a surety of Euro 278 thousand was issued to secure the suspension of enforceability.
In any case, FFM will reiterate arguments to obtain full cancellation of the assessment notices in all relevant courts and degrees. The first instance is currently pending for the notices under review.
The appeal against the main assessment notices is still pending.

More recently, the Company obtained a further favourable first instance ruling, filed on March 26, 2024, which annulled the contested acts (the assessment reports under review) for the portion in which the payment of VAT is requested.
The company also filed a conservative sequestration action against the importer to protect its overall position. As part of the relative proceedings, new information emerged that was particularly favourable, as it was found that the Comitek Group had made a partial payment of the debt - which the Customs Authority considers jointly payable - and that an instalment plan existed for the remainder. On the basis of these changes, on June 12, 2024, FFM submitted a reasoned request to the Customs Authority to reduce the surety bonds provided for a total of Euro 6.1 million, by an amount that takes into account the payment of Euro 1.7 million.
The appointed lawyers, having evaluated the dossier outlining the position and the jurisprudence on the subject, and also in view of the first instance ruling, and the judicial framework described above, remain optimistic that the overall risk profile can be upgraded positively and consider it possible 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 fee surtaxes 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.
Lastly, qualified contingent liabilities with a risk of loss exist in relation to an independent lawyer. To date, no litigation has been initiated in this regard.
No events have occurred subsequent to the end of the half year 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 in the financial statements with reference to the amounts reported at June 30.
On August 1, the Shareholder Agreement signed on August 2, 2021 between the Bologna Chamber of Commerce, the Municipality of Bologna, the Metropolitan City of Bologna, the Region of Emilia-Romagna, and other Chambers of Commerce in the area.

On August 2, the first Euro 10 million tranche of the European Investment Bank (EIB) Ioan, of up to Euro 90 million, signed in December 2021 to support the investment plan, was disbursed. The first tranche totals Euro 10 million and has a term of 18 years, with a two-years grace period, at a fixed rate of 4.051%.
On August 13, AdB received ENAC's approval of its justified proposal to update the annexes to the 2023-2026 Regulatory Agreement. This considered the most updated traffic forecasts, the airport co-ordination beginning from the Winter Season 2024-25 and the updates made to the Investment Plan based on new priorities and executive phases. The Plan contains new investments that bring the value of the investments in the four-year period - previously set at around Euro 140 million - to approximately Euro 200 million. The reviewed, authorised reinvestment plan to 2026, accompanied by a business plan, is fully sustainable and will be entirely financed by AdB, using its own funds and bank and EIB financing.
The Group for the first half of 2024 reports substantially positive traffic and operating-financial results. For the second half of the year, although within the above-outlined complex environment in view of the risks related to the continued uncertainty of the market and general economy, traffic is still expected to grow, considering also the volumes reported for July and August, with a consequent impact on the operating-financial performance.
The Group will continue to be engaged in overcoming the limits of the infrastructural capacity of certain subsystems, 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.
Reference should be made to the Directors' Report for further information on the business outlook.
