Paris, 14 May 2013
Financial information as of 31 March 20131
Slight decrease in traffic of Parisian airports for the first 3 months of the year: -0.8%. Positive traffic mix (international traffic +1.3%), mainly driven by Asia/Pacific (+4.1%), Africa (+4.1%) and Middle-East (+3.4%)
Strong growth of TAV group: +27.7% since the beginning of the year including +22.7% at Istanbul Atatürk
ADP weighted group traffic2 : +6.1%
Q1 consolidated revenue up 9.0% to €653 million with a strong growth on all Group segments:
Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Aéroports de Paris, said:
"Over the first quarter of the year, despite a slight decrease in traffic, consolidated revenue grew by 9.0%, driven by all Group activities. It was impacted by exceptional fees linked to snow falls, that directly find their counterparts in operating costs. Concerning duty-free retail activities, sales/pax3 presents a growth of 9.5% to reach €17.8 thanks to satellite 4 and A/C junction openings in Paris-Charles de Gaulle. Those results illustrate the strength of Group economic fundamentals and confirm its resilience and sustainable growth abilities. Assuming that traffic remains stable, we confirm our 2013 targets of a slight growth in revenue and EBITDA."

Aviation: revenue growth driven by the increase in ancillary fees and tariffs

| Aviation | 375 | 347 | +7.9% |

| Other revenues | 11 | 11 | -0.0% |
Over the first 3 months of 2013, aviation revenue increased by 7.9% to €375 million.
Revenue from aeronautical fees (passenger fee, landing fee and parking fee) was up 4.0% to €195 million, benefiting from the increase in tariffs (+3.4% on 1 April 2012) and a positive traffic mix (+1.3% for international traffic). Those effects are partially offset by the decrease in passenger traffic (-0.8%) and in aircraft movements (-4.4%).
Ancillary fees were up 27.8% to €56 million, resulting from de-icing fee up 27.8% following exceptional snow falls that happened in the first quarter (+151.9%, i.e. +€11 million euros) with the number of de-iced planes being multiplied by 3 vs. 2012. The increase of the de-icing fee revenue is offset by an equivalent increase in operating costs linked to the purchase of winter products.
The tariff of airport security tax, mostly dedicated to the financing of security-related activities, has been standing at €11.5 per departing passenger since 1 January 2011. The revenue of this tax amounted to €113 million up by 7.7% as a result of higher security costs.
Other revenues, which mostly consist in re-invoicing the French Air Navigation Services Division and leasing associated with the use of terminals, were virtually stable at €11 million.
Retail and services: good performance of retail and services driven by of sales per passenger of shops in restricted areas up 9.5% to €17.8

Over the first 3 months of 2013, retail and services revenue increased by 6.4% to €234 million.
The revenue from retail (rents received from shops, bars and restaurants, advertising, banking and foreign exchange activities, and car rental companies) grew by 12.8% to €84 million. Rents from shops located in restricted areas stood at €58 million up 8.4%, thanks to the increase in sales per passenger1 (+9.5% to €17.8). This performance was mainly attributable to the good results of duty free shops (+11.7% at 5.2 million euros), whom sales per passenger sharply increased (+7.0% to €31.7) driven by the opening of new infrastructures (satellite 4 and A/C junction in Paris-Charles de Gaulle) and by the continued strong traffic growth of highly contributive destinations such as China (+13.8%) or Russia (+12.8%). This good performance mainly occurred in Fashion & Accessories and gastronomy activities. Other rents (from shops in public area, bars and restaurants,

advertising, banking, foreign exchange counters and car rentals) increased by 23.9% to €26 million driven by the opening in March 2012 of A/C junction and in July 2012 of satellite 4.
Revenue from car parks rose by 3.7% to €39 million owing to an increasing occupancy.
Revenue from the provision of industrial services (electricity and water supply) increased by 5.9% to €29 million due to higher energy prices.
Rental revenue (leasing of space within terminals) was up 7.3% at €26 million, mainly due to rentals in satellite 4 opened in July 2012.
Other revenue essentially consisted of internal services and are flat at €56 million.
