Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris, said:

"Group consolidated revenue growth of the first quarter is satisfactory with a good performance on almost all our activities. Traffic increase is in line with our forecasts, driven essentially by Asian, Middle-Eastern and European destinations, and was translated in particular into an increase of aviation fees. Retail activities benefitted from the combined effect of the growth of highly contributive destinations and the opening in autumn 2014 of the new shops of the central square of Hall K of Terminal 2E. Paris-Charles de Gaulle was besides ranked 5th best airport worldwide for the quality of its retail by Skytrax6 . Sales per passenger of the first quarter, traditionally the highest of the year with 4th quarter, was up 9.7% to €19.8. Moreover, our performance in quality of service was also congratulated by Skytrax ranking in which Paris-Charles de Gaulle was awarded the best improvement of the year. "

Ancillary fees were up 14.5%, to €51 million primarily due to higher de-icing fees (+89.6%, to €9 million), as a consequence of a harsher winter in 2015. The number of de-iced aircrafts at Paris-Charles de Gaulle was multiplied by 9 compared to the first quarter of 2014.

Revenue from airport safety and security services saw an increase of 4.5%, to €119 million, reflecting the increase of security checks.

This performance was for the most part attributable to the growth of business at duty free shops, translation of i/ the growth of traffic of highly contributive destinations, ii/ the opening over the 4th quarter of 2014 of shops of the central square of Hall K of Terminal 2E and iii/ the positive foreign exchange effect on some currencies (the euro being at a historically low level compared to Chinese Yuan or US dollar, for instance). Duty free sales

Revenue from car parks decreased by 3.3 %, to €41 million.

Dividend distribution policy

At its meeting of 19 February 2015, the Board of Directors decided to propose a dividend payment of €2.44 per share for the 2014 financial year at the next Annual General Meeting, to be held on 18 May 2015. Subject to the vote of the Annual General Meeting, the ex-dividend date would be fixed to 28 May 2015 and the payment would be made on 1 June 2015. This dividend corresponds to a payout ratio of 60% of the 2014 net income attributable to the Group, unchanged since the 2013 financial year. As a reminder, the payout ratio was increased from 50% to 60% in 2013, for the 2012 financial year dividends.

Implementation of a new accounting management model

In order to simplify the readability of accounting segment performance and to optimise the allocation of internal exchanges, Aéroports de Paris implemented a new accounting management system being applied since 1 January 2015. This new accounting management model consists in:

  • A presentation of the P&L by nature for all revenue and costs
  • A review and a simplification of allocation for revenue and costs of transversal activities
  • A review and a simplification of the allocation of overheads by segment.

This new accounting management system does not have any impact of key financial metrics.

Moreover, the other main change made was the direct offsetting of capitalised production (formerly accounted for between revenue and expenses) decreasing referring costs. In 2014, capitalised production amounted to €79 million that are now broken down in less staff expenses and other costs.

First quarter of 2014 revenue pro forma is available in the appendix of this press release.

Appendix

First quarter 2014 pro forma revenue

In order to simplify the readability of accounting segment performance and to optimise the allocation of internal exchanges, Aéroports de Paris implemented a new accounting management system being applied since 1 January 2015. This new accounting management model consists in:

  • A presentation of the P&L by nature for all revenue and costs
  • A review and a simplification of allocation for revenue and costs of transversal activities
  • A review and a simplification of the allocation of overheads by segment.

This new accounting management system does not have any impact of key financial metrics.

Moreover, the other main change made was the direct offsetting of capitalised production (formerly accounted for between revenue and expenses) decreasing referring costs. In 2014, capitalised production amounted to €79 million that are now broken down in less staff expenses and other costs.

In order to allow the comparison with former published statements, pro forma accounts have been made. The impact over the first quarter of 2014 is the following:
