The consolidated annual accounts were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 27, 2025.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION OF THE ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

2.1 True and fair view

The annual accounts have been prepared from the accounting records of the Company and are presented in accordance with regulatory commercial reporting framework and with the standards established in the General Accounting Plan approved by Royal Decree 1514/2007 and the amendments incorporated therein, in order to show a true and fair view of the Company's equity, financial situation, results and cash flows for the year.

These annual accounts, which have been prepared by the Directors of the Company, are subject to the approval of the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting and are expected to be approved as they stand. The annual accounts for the year 2023 were approved at the Ordinary General Shareholders' Meeting held on June 6, 2024.

The Company has two branches in Dubai (United Arab Emirates) and Cuba. The balance sheet and income statement of both branches are fully integrated in these annual accounts.

2.2 Non-mandatory accounting principles

For the preparation of these annual accounts, the Directors have taken in to consideration all the mandatory accounting principles and standards with a significant impact on the annual accounts. Additionally, non-mandatory accounting principles have not been applied.

2.3 Critical aspects for the measurement and estimation of uncertainty

When preparing the annual accounts, estimates and assumptions, as made by the Directors of the Company, have been applied in order to measure certain assets, liabilities, expenses and income, and commitments as recognized therein. Those with a significant impact on the annual accounts are:

  • _ Estimated recoverable amounts used for impairment testing purposes.
  • _ Income tax assets and liabilities.
  • _ Provisions valuation.
  • _ Amortization period for non-current non-financial assets.

The estimates and assumptions are based on the information available at the date of issuance of the annual accounts, past experience and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable at that time. The actual results might differ from the estimates.

The geopolitical situation in Middle East and Russia has not had a significant impact on the operations, financial performance, financial position and cash-flows of the Company.

2.4 Business combinations

On July 31, 2006, the Company, formerly known as WAM Portfolio, S.A. Sociedad Unipersonal, took over Amadeus IT Group, S.A., subsequently adopting its company's corporate purpose and registered name. The equity elements of the companies involved in the merger process were measured by applying the market value thereto. All the information required by the Spanish legislation in force was included in the notes to the annual accounts for the year ended on July 31, 2006.

Likewise, on August 1, 2016, the Company, formerly known as Amadeus IT Holding, S.A. (Absorbing Company), absorbed Amadeus IT Group S.A. (Absorbed Company). The merger was registered in the Commercial Registry of Madrid on August 2, 2016. As a consequence of the merger, the Absorbing and survivor Company from the merger process, Amadeus IT Holding, S.A. changed its corporate name to the Absorbed Company's name, Amadeus IT Group, S.A.

In accordance with the article 86 of the Corporate Income Tax Act., the detail of the periods in which tangible and intangible assets were acquired by the Absorbed Company and transmitted to the Absorbing Company, and all the information required by the Spanish legislation in force, were included in the notes to the annual accounts for the year ended on December 31, 2016.

2.5 Changes in accounting principles

During 2024, there have not been any changes in the accounting principles applied by the Company.

2.6 Comparative information

For comparison purposes, the Company presents, together the balance sheet, the income statement, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and the notes to the annual accounts for the years ended on December 31, 2024 and on 2023.

The presentation, classification, and aggregation of certain items in the annual accounts have been revised. Non-material reclassifications have been made to ensure the information is comparable with the previous year and to enhance the comprehension of the annual accounts.

Except where indicated otherwise, the figures of the annual accounts are expressed in millions of euros.

2.7 Working capital

As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the Company has reported negative working capital. This situation is typical within the industry and aligns with the Company's financial structure. It has not impeded the normal progression of the Company's operations.

2.8 Correction of errors

No significant errors have been identified during the preparation of the annual accounts; therefore, it has not been necessary to restate the amounts included in the annual accounts for the year 2023.

3. PROPOSED APPROPRIATION OF RESULTS AND OTHER RESERVES

The Board of Directors will submit to the Ordinary General Shareholders´ Meeting for approval, a final gross dividend of €1.39 per share carrying dividend rights, from 2024 profit for the year. Based on the above, the proposed appropriation of the results for the year ended December 31, 2024, is as follows:

Euros
Amount for appropriation:
Net profit for the year 1,156,831,614.25
Appropriation to:
Retained earnings 530,637,719.30

Euros
Amount for appropriation:
Special reserves 138,823,055.04
Appropriation to:
Retained earnings 138,823,055.04

On December 18, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors proposed a fixed dividend distribution of 2024 profit for the year of an equivalent 50% of the consolidated net profit, this way reaching the maximum percentage of the dividend distribution policy of the Company. Consequently, an interim dividend distribution was approved from the 2024 profit of the year, amounting to €0.5 per share with dividend rights, paid on January 17, 2025, for a total amount of €221.0 million.

In accordance with article 277 of the Spanish Capital Companies Act, the following table shows a summary for the provisional statement issued by the Directors to substantiate the Company has sufficient liquidity at that time to distribute the interim dividend:

Mandatory appropriation to reserves for period 2024

Proposed interim dividend (maximum amount) (225.2)
Estimated net cash Surplus after interim dividend distribution 2,328.8

4. RECOGNITION AND MEASUREMENT STANDARDS

The main recognition and measurement accounting standards applied by the Company in the preparation of the annual accounts are as follows:

4.1 Intangible assets

Intangible assets are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Intangible assets are reviewed periodically and adjusted, if needed, as noted in note 4.3.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives as follows:

_ Patents, trademarks, licenses and others: This caption includes brands and trademarks acquired by means of either a business combination or in separate acquisitions, valued at their acquisition cost. They are tested for impairment on an annual basis, or when signs of impairment occur.

These intangible assets have a definite useful life. When the useful life of these assets cannot be reliably estimated, they will be amortized over a 10 years period, unless any other regulatory change establishes a different period. Although the Company considers that the registered brands and trademarks have indefinite useful life, according to Spanish Generally Agreed Accounting Principles, since January 1, 2016, it began to amortize them applying the straightline method over a period of 10 years.

_ Goodwill: The goodwill is recognized as an asset when an onerous acquisition takes place within a business combination context. Goodwill is assigned to the cash-generating unit (hereinafter 'CGU') to which the expected profit of the business combination will be allocated. At least once per year, an impairment test is done on these CGUs according to the methodology described in note 4.3, and the relevant value adjustment would be recognized, if applicable.

Goodwill has a definite useful life, but when the useful life of goodwill can not be reliably estimated, it will be amortized over a 10 years period, unless any other regulatory change establishes a different period. Although the Company considers that the registered goodwill has indefinite useful life, according to Spanish Generally Agreed Accounting Principles, since January 1, 2016, it began to amortize it applying the straight-line method over a period of 10 years.

Impairment losses of goodwill included in the carrying amount of goodwill are not reversed in subsequent years.

  • _ Research and Development: Research expenditure, mainly related to research in connection with the evaluation and adoption of new technology, is recognized as an expense as incurred. Costs incurred on development projects, relating to the design and testing of new or improved products, are recognized as intangible assets when it is probable that the project will be a success, its commercial and technological feasibility being taken into consideration, and cost can be measured reliably and individually by project. Development costs that have been capitalized are amortized from the commencement of the commercial production of the product on a straight-line basis over the period of its expected benefit for the Company over 2 to 20 years.
  • _ Other intangible assets: Assets included under this caption are as follows:
    • Contractual relationships: This caption includes those with travel agencies users and with travel providers acquired through non-refundable upfront payments made to travel agencies at inception or renewal of a contract, in exchange of their commitment to a minimum volume of bookings made through our GDS. These cash payments are instrumented through contracts with a term that is always over a year, and include shortfall clauses applicable, if those objectives are not met. The cost is capitalized and amortized applying the straight-line method over a period of 2 to 15 years that corresponds with the contract term.

The incentives, services or discounts paid to travel agencies, which do not meet the proper requirements to be recognized as intangible fixed assets, are considered as prepaid expenses recognized in the income statement according to the length of the contract.

• Technology and content: This caption includes assets which are a combination of software elements and travel content, the latter obtained by the Company through its relationship with travel providers acquired in separate acquisitions, measured at their acquisition cost. This combination allows the processing of travel transactions (bookings) between supply (travel providers) and demand (travel agencies) and it makes travel information available to both users through the Amadeus system.

These assets are amortized against the income statement by applying the straight-line method over an estimated useful life from 5 to 20 years. IT solution technology and content assets are amortized over an estimated useful life of 20 years considering that the IT solution industry model is for the very long run. The estimated useful life of the main components of the technology and content is 15 years, considering the status of the Amadeus reservation system, and the technological gap perceived by the Company over its main competitors.

4.2 Property, plant and equipment

Tangible assets are recognized at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. They are depreciated by applying the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the assets:

Years
Furniture and office equipment 5 – 15
Other tangible assets 3 – 5

Repairs and renewals are charged to the Income statement within 'Other operating expenses' caption when the expenditure is incurred.

4.3 Impairment of non-current assets

The carrying amount of significant non-current assets is reviewed periodically, to determine if there is any indication of impairment. If, as a result of this evaluation, the recoverable amount is lower than the net carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in the income statement, by reducing the carrying amount of the asset to its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less cost to sell and the value in use. In assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted at their present value using an appropriate risk adjusted discount rate.

4.4 Leases

Leases where the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership are classified as finance leases. The assets are capitalized and a liability is recognized for an amount equivalent to the lower of their fair value and the present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease. The capitalized leased assets are amortized by applying the straight-line method over the periods of useful life.

Operating lease payments are recognized in the income statement as incurred throughout the term of the lease.

4.5 Financial instruments

4.5.1 Financial assets

Financial assets are initially measured at the fair value of the consideration given plus the directly attributable transaction costs.

Financial assets are classified in the balance sheet as current or non-current, depending on whether their maturity is less than, equal to or greater than twelve months.

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when it expires or when the rights to receive the cash flows associated with the asset have been transferred, and under the terms of an agreement, the risks and rewards associated with the asset have also been substantially transferred. Examples of the latter are commercial credits in factoring transactions where the Company has not retained any significant credit or interest risk.

On the other hand, the Company does not derecognize a financial asset and recognizes a financial liability in the amount of the consideration received, when a financial asset is transferred that substantially retains the risks and rewards associated with the property of the asset.

Interests and dividends received from financial assets, as accrued subsequently to the date of acquisition, are recognized as financial income in the income statement. Interests are recognized by applying the effective interest method and dividends are recognized once it is announced that the shareholder has the right to receive them. If distributed, dividends related to earnings generated prior to the date of acquisition are recognized by reducing the carrying amount of the investment.

Financial assets should be classified at the recognition moment in one of the following categories at amortized cost, FVPL, at cost or FVOCI. The Company own the following financial assets:

_ Financial assets at amortized cost: A financial asset will be included in this category if the company maintains the investment with the aim of receiving the cash flows derived from the execution of the contract, and the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise to the collection of cash flows on specified dates which relate only to the principal and interest of the principal amount outstanding.

Credits for commercial operations and credits for non-commercial operations are included in this category:

  • Credits for commercial operations: are those financial assets that originate from the sale of goods and the provision of services of operating activities of the company with deferred payment.
  • Credits for non-commercial operations: are those financial assets that, not being equity instruments or derivatives, have no commercial origin and the collectable amount is a determined or determinable sum, that comes from loans or credit operations granted by the Company.

Financial assets included in this category shall initially be measured at fair value. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, this shall be the transaction price, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given plus directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost by applying the effective interest method.

Nonetheless, trade receivables falling due within one year for which there is no contractual interest rate, and loans and advances to personnel, dividends receivable and receivables on called-up equity instruments expected to be collected in the short term can be measured at their nominal amount, provided that the effect of not discounting the cash flows is not significant.

At least at the balance sheet date, the company shall recognize any necessary valuation allowances when there is objective evidence that the value of a receivable, or group of receivables with similar risk exposure measured together, is impaired as a result of one or more events occurring after initial recognition and leading to a reduction or delay in estimated future cash flows, which could be due to debtor insolvency.

_ Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss account (FVPL): This category includes equity instruments that are held for trading and are not measured at cost and for which an irrevocable election has been made at the time of initial recognition to present subsequent changes in fair value directly in the profit and loss account. This category also includes financial derivatives which have not been designated as hedge.

Additionally, it includes financial assets that are irrevocably designated at the time of initial recognition as measured at fair value through profit and loss and that would otherwise have been included in another category, in order to eliminate or significantly reduce a valuation inconsistency or accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise from the measurement of the assets or liabilities on different bases.

These assets are initially measured at fair value, and subsequently the result of changes in fair value is recognized in the income statement.

_ Financial assets at cost: The Company registers under this category Group company, associates and joint venture investments. Group companies are the companies under the Company's control, and associates are the companies over which the Company has a significant influence. Additionally, joint ventures are the companies over which the control is shared between one or more partners.

Investments in Group companies, associates and joint ventures are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, if applicable. These value adjustments are the differences between the carrying amount of the investment and the recoverable amount, which is the higher of the fair value less the cost to sell, and the discounted value of the estimated future cash flows of the investment.

Since January 1, 2010, all the costs, such as legal or other professional fees, associated to the acquisition of a Group company implying the control over the company, are registered as an expense in the income statement.

Value adjustments for impairment and, as the case may be, their reversal are registered as expense or income, respectively, in the income statement. The limit of impairment reversal is the initial book value of the investment.

Those equity investments for which the fair value cannot be determined with reliability are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, if applicable.

_ Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI): A financial asset is included in this category when the contractual conditions of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that relate only to the collection of the principal and interest on the amount of the outstanding principal and is not held for trading nor should it be classified as financial assets at amortized cost. Investments in equity instruments for which the irrevocable option mentioned in the category of financial assets at FVPL above has been exercised will also be included in this category.

They are measured at fair value with gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value recognized directly in equity, until the asset is derecognized or there is an objective evidence of impairment. In such a case, any accumulated amounts registered in equity are then registered in the income statement.

4.5.2 Financial liabilities

The Company classifies its financial liabilities according to the agreed contractual obligations, provided that, according to their economic substance, they represent a direct or indirect contractual obligation for the Company.

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when the obligations which generated them cease to exist.

The financial liabilities are classified in the balance sheet as current if their maturity is less than or equal than twelve months or as non-current if it is greater than twelve months. The Company holds the following financial liabilities:

_ Financial liabilities at amortized cost: The Company's liabilities at amortized cost from the purchase of goods and services within trade operations are considered financial liabilities, as well as those that lacking a commercial substance cannot be considered financial derivatives.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost are initially recognized at the fair value of the consideration received, adjusted by directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, these liabilities are measured at their amortized cost.

Notwithstanding the above, debits generated by trade operations with maturity within one year and without a contractual interest rate are measured at nominal value, provided that the effect of not discounting the cash flows is not significant.

In the case of the loans whose maturity is short-term, but whose long-term refinancing is assured if the Company decides so, and it is likely to happen through loan agreements available in the long-term, are classified as non-current liabilities.

4.5.3 Shareholders' equity instruments

A shareholders' equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual share in the assets of the Company after all liabilities are deducted.

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized in equity by the amount received, net of transaction costs.

The shares and equity instruments are registered by reducing shareholders' equity for the value in consideration received in exchange, as well as the actual value of certain future commitments agreed during the current period. The result of buying, selling, issuing and cancelling shareholders' equity, is recognized directly in 'Other reserves' caption in the equity, resulting in no effect, in the income statement, in any case.

4.5.4 Financial derivatives and hedge accounting

The Company uses derivatives to cover the risks derived from its activity, transactions and future cash flows. These risks are mainly linked to interest and exchange rate fluctuations.

For these financial instruments to be classified as hedge accounting, there is a formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship. Likewise, the Company has to verify initially and over the term of the relationship, that the hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item. That is, prospectively, an almost complete hedge and, retrospectively, that the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument is within 80% to 125% of the change in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item attributable to the risk being hedged.

Derivatives are initially measured at fair value and, subsequently, changes in the fair value must be accounted for in each reporting period. The Company uses the discount of the expected cash flows as the fair value of the registered derivatives, on both spot and forward market conditions at yearend. If the change in the fair value of the derivative is positive, it is registered under 'Derivatives' caption in assets in the balance sheet, or in liabilities if it is negative. Gains or losses are recognized according to the type of hedge, as follows:

  • _ Fair value hedges: Changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument and the hedged asset or liability are recognized in the income statement.
  • _ Cash flow hedges: The effective portion of changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument is temporarily recognized in equity. The change in fair value of the hedging instrument that is recognized in equity is reclassified to profit or loss when the hedge item affects profit or loss, except if the hedge relates to an expected transaction which leads to the recognition of a nonfinancial asset or liability, as well as equity instruments, in which case the amounts registered in equity will be included in the cost of the asset or liability at the time it is acquired or assumed. The portion considered ineffective is directly recognized in the income statement.

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised, the hedged item is sold, settled or otherwise disposed, the Company revokes the designation or when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the conditions for hedge accounting.

In cash flow hedges, any accrued gains or losses related to the hedging instrument are held in equity until the expected transaction takes place. Otherwise, when the hedged transaction is not expected to take place, the accumulated net gains or losses recognized in equity are transferred to the income statement.

4.6 Foreign currency transactions

The Company uses the euro as its functional currency. Foreign currency transactions are accounted for at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction's date. Gains and losses resulting from the settlement of those transactions and from the valuation at year-end of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognized in the income statement.

4.7 Income taxes

Expense or income for Corporate Income Tax includes current tax expense or income and deferred tax expense or income.

Current tax is the amount that the Company satisfies as the result of profit tax settlements for a fiscal year. Tax deductions and other tax benefits, excluding withholding taxes and payments on account, and previous years' tax losses which can be offset against the current fiscal year, reduce the total amount of current tax.

Deferred tax expense or income relates to the recognition and cancellation of deferred tax assets and liabilities. These include temporary differences which are the amounts expected to be paid or recovered, as generated by the differences between the tax and book values of assets and liabilities, and the tax losses carried forward and the credits for tax deductions not fiscally applied. These amounts are recorded by applying to the temporary difference or tax credit, the tax rate at which they are expected to be recovered or settled.

As a general rule, deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all the taxable temporary differences. However, deferred tax assets are only registered if it is considered probable that the Company will obtain future tax profit to make them effective. At year-end, the deferred tax assets not registered in the balance sheet are measured, and they are recognized if they are likely to be recovered through future tax benefits. Likewise, deferred tax assets registered are reviewed, making the appropriate adjustments when there are doubts about their future recovery.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities, resulting from the transactions registered directly in equity, are also registered in equity. Value adjustments to deferred tax assets and liabilities due to changes in the tax rate are recognized according to their origin in the income statement or in equity.

4.8 Revenue and expenses recognition

The Company recognizes revenue at an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer. Revenue is recognized by applying a five-step model to the contracts with customers.

Significant services and methods of revenue recognition:

_ Stand-ready series revenue recognition

Most of the Company's revenues are derived from a single performance obligation consisting of a stand-ready series of making technology services available for a customer to use as and when the customer decides. In these types of services contracts, the value that the customer receives for the performance completed to date coincides with the Company's right to consideration, and for that reason the Company is allowed to recognize revenue in the amount to which the Company has a right to invoice.

The main services included under this category of revenues is provided through technology platforms and correspond to technology services related to Distribution and to IT solutions services.

Distribution services: The Amadeus Global Distribution System (hereinafter 'GDS') provides comprehensive real-time search, pricing, booking and other processing solutions to travel providers and travel agency customers. The technological solutions provided by the GDS are the same every day during all the years of the contract. Each day of service is distinct from the previous day, but at the same time, the distinct services provided are substantially the same and are transferred to clients over time, complying with the definition of a series as per the accounting and measurement rule 14 of the Spanish General Accounting Plan. Consequently, the Company has identified as a single performance obligation with travel providers the stand ready series obligation to make its GDS Platform available for processing travel bookings and other related services that are closely related to the booking process. The platform is available every day to the customer and the usage determines both the variable price, based on bookings made, and the revenue. The value to the customer of Amadeus' performance completed to date coincides with the right to invoice to the customer, the determination of such amount depends on the terms and conditions agreed with each customer.

Revenues from GDS air customers are recorded at the time the reservation is made, that is when our right to invoice is created and what allows us to recognize revenue according to the standards. Some bookings can be cancelled later, and according to the contracts in place, the booking fee earned should be reversed. To account for this variability in the transaction price revenue is recognized net of estimated future cancellations. The cancellation reserve is calculated monthly based on historical cancellation rate. The calculation is made by dividing the number of cancellations net of re-bookings at month end by the inventory of unused bookings at the beginning of the month.

Cancellation rate also impacts distribution fees and related commercial incentives ('distribution costs') payable to the third-party distributors (travel agencies, airlines direct sales and Amadeus Commercial Organizations –ACOs- which are not subsidiaries of the Group) that are also recorded net of the amounts relating to the cancellations.

Another component of the Distribution services are the subscriber services agreements entered by the Company, mainly with travel agents, which provide the user the tools and services that permit access to the Amadeus system. These subscriber agreements regulate both, the relationship with the travel agency as customer of the GDS, and the relationship with the travel agency as provider of promotion services of the GDS. Travel agencies are granted with incentives in exchange for making bookings with the Amadeus GDS instead of with other GDS providers. The fair value of the services received cannot be estimated reliably since prices of the subscription and the incentives are negotiated together in a single contract and on an individual basis by travel agency. Usually, incentives paid are higher than the subscription revenues received and therefore the distribution cost is recorded net of the subscription fees.

IT solutions services: the revenue from IT Solutions derive mainly from the Amadeus Passenger Service Systems (PSS) provided through Altéa suite and New Skies. The performance obligation identified is a stand ready obligation series to provide technology services through the Amadeus IT systems. This single performance obligation also meets the series definition as explained above (distinct services provided that are substantially the same and are transferred to clients over time). Usually, customers are charged a non-refundable upfront fee that is recognized as revenue over the contract term starting as of cutover date, and a variable fee based on a fee per transaction made (passengers boarded in PSS) that is recognized as revenue as the customer obtains value from the performance completed to date and that coincides with the right to invoice up to that date.

_ Other revenue recognition patterns

Other revenues are derived from licensing software, from providing related professional services and support and from subscriptions of several Amadeus IT offerings. These contracts usually include multiple performance obligations, and the transaction price is allocated based on the relative standalone selling price of each of the performance obligations identified. Licensing revenue is recognized over the contract term since the license provides customer with a right to access considering input methods based on time elapsed. Services revenue consists of installation and consulting services and is recognized as the services are performed considering input methods based on hours and costs incurred. Support and maintenance revenue consist of telephone support and maintenance and is recognized over the term of the agreement based on hours elapsed. Revenues from subscriptions are proportionally recognized over the subscription or the agreement term based on input methods.

Revenues from licensing software and subscriptions, as well as from the stand-ready series of making technology services available, are provided through platforms and software that can be hosted in our own data centers or in third party cloud infrastructures.

As disclosed above, the Company typically satisfies its performance obligations in line with the usage of the Amadeus platforms and technology solutions made by customers over the period, that coincides with the billing for the period.

Upfront fees that are recognized as revenues over the contract duration and any other amounts billed before the Company satisfies the performance obligation are recorded as deferred revenue.

4.9 Provisions and contingencies

Provisions are recognized when there is a legal or implicit present obligation arising as a result of a past event, when the Company is likely to be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated.

Contingent liabilities are possible obligations that arise from past events and whose existence will be confirmed only by the occurrence or non-occurrence of one or more future events not wholly within the Company's control.

Amounts recognized as a provision relate to the best estimate of the non-settled obligation at the date of the balance sheet, with the risks and uncertainties related to the obligation being taken into account. When the outflow of resources is considered possible, contingent liabilities are not recognized in the annual accounts but are disclosed in the notes to the annual accounts.

4.10 Equity elements of an environmental nature

Elements used permanently by the Company to minimize the impact on the environment and for environmental protection and improvement, including reduction and elimination of future pollution, are registered under this caption.

Due to its activity, the Company does not have a significant environmental impact.

4.11 Pension plans and other related obligations

The Company has pension commitments with its employees. These commitments are fulfilled through an external pension plan, defined contribution employment system, and collective life insurance contracts, for all of the Company's employees.

Contributions made to defined contribution plans are registered in the income statement for the year, as incurred.

4.12 Share-based payments

The share-based payment obligations are equity settled. Compensation expense for services received and the corresponding increase in equity are recognized as they are rendered by the employee during the vesting period by reference to the grant date fair value (observable market rate) of the equity instruments granted to the employee. The compensation expense is recognized in the income statement for the year increasing 'Other reserves' caption. The settlement of equity settled share-based payments is accounted for as the repurchase of an equity instrument.

4.13 Transactions with related parties

The Company considers as related parties subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, key management personnel and members of the Board of Directors, as well as their close family members. Additionally, the Company considers as related parties the significant shareholders, and the companies controlled by them, in case they exist.

The Company considers as key management personnel the members of the Executive Committee and the Internal Audit Director.

The Company carries out all its operations with related parties at market value. Moreover, transfer prices are adequately supported, so the Directors of the Company believe that there is no significant risk on this matter that may lead into future liabilities.

4.14 Current and non-current items

Current assets are those related to the operating cycle of the Company, that usually is considered a year, and also other assets which maturity, disposal or realization is expected to occur in the shortterm since the year closing date, the held-for-sale financial assets, and the cash or other cash equivalents. The assets that do not meet these requirements are classified as non-current assets.

Similarly, current liabilities are those related to the operating cycle of the Company, and also the heldfor-sale financial liabilities, and, in general every liability which maturity or extinction will take place in the short-term. Otherwise, they are classified as non-current liabilities.

4.15 Termination benefits

Termination benefits are payable to employees as a result of certain Company's decisions to terminate their employment. The Company recognizes these benefits when it has made a demonstrable commitment to terminate employees' employment in accordance with a detailed formal plan without the possibility of withdrawal.

5. FINANCIAL RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company, as a result of the normal course of its business activities, has exposure to foreign exchange, interest rate, treasury shares price evolution, credit and liquidity risk. The goal of the Company is to identify, measure and minimize these risks using the most effective and efficient methods to eliminate, mitigate, or compensate such exposures. With the purpose of managing these risks, in some occasions, the Company enters into hedging activities with derivatives and nonderivative instruments.

5.1 Foreign exchange rate risk

Due to the multinational orientation of its business, the Company is subject to foreign exchange risks derived from the fluctuations of various currencies.

The Company's exchange rate hedging strategy aims to protect the EUR value of cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The instruments used to achieve this goal depend on the currency in which the cash flow to be hedged is denominated:

  • _ The strategy to minimize USD exchange rate exposures is based on the use of natural hedges and derivative instruments. Neither as of December 31, 2024, nor as of December 31, 2023, there was significant USD denominated debt.
  • _ Aside from the USD, the main foreign currency exposures are expenditures denominated in a variety of foreign currencies. The most significant of these exposures are denominated in Sterling Pounds (GBP), Indian Rupees (INR), Australian Dollars (AUD) and Singapore Dollars (SGD). For these exposures, a natural hedge strategy is not possible. In order to hedge a portion of the aforementioned short exposures, the Company may enter into derivative contracts with financial entities, basically non deliverable forwards, currency options and combinations of currency options.

5.2 Interest rate risk

The objective of the Company, in terms of interest rate risk management, is reducing the volatility of the net interest flows payable. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 92% of the interest-bearing external debt contracted by the Company was fixed rate debt (95%, 2023). Given the high proportion of fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, no interest rate hedges were hedging the outstanding debt as of these dates.

The sensitivity of fair value of the Company's debt to a 0.1% (10 bps) parallel shift of the interest rate curve as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, is set forth in the table below:

December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
+10 bps -10 bps +10 bps -10 bps
Euro denominated debt (6.4) 6.4 (6.9) 7.0
Total (6.4) 6.4 (6.9) 7.0

In 2024 there has been a reduction in the sensitivity of the value of the debt to the movements of the interest rate curve with respect to the previous year. This reduction has been caused by the smaller price sensitivity of the outstanding debt due to its shorter average life.

According to the table above a 10 bps drop in the level of interest rates would cause an increase in the fair value of the debt amounting to €6.4 million at December 31, 2024 (€7.0 million, 2023).

5.3 Treasury shares price evolution risk

The Company has granted three different remuneration schemes outstanding which are settled with Amadeus shares; the 'Performance Share Plan' (PSP), the 'Restricted Share Plan' (RSP) and the 'Share Match Plan' (SMP).

According to the conditions of these plans, at their maturity, the beneficiaries will receive a number of shares, that for the plans granted, will depend on the achievement of certain conditions. The Company will use treasury shares to cover these remuneration schemes.

During 2024 and 2023, the Company has acquired treasury shares through share buy-back programs (see note 12).

In April 2020, the Company issued a convertible bond with maturity in April 2025. The initial conversion price was €54.6, after adjusting for the dividends delivered. As of December 31, 2024, the conversion price was €52.9409. Given the outstanding share price of Amadeus, the whole convertible bond (€750 million) is expected to be converted in approximately 14,166,732 shares. As of December 31, 2024, Amadeus had bought in successive share buy backs 13,962,172 shares specifically to cover for the needs of this conversion process. During the first days of January 2025, Amadeus bought an additional amount of 205,328 shares under the share buyback plan announced in December 18, 2024, to cover for the needs of the conversion process (see note 22). This way, Amadeus has already bought in the market all the shares which investors could claim as part of the convertible bond conversion.

5.4 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial asset will cause a loss for the Company by failing to discharge an obligation.

The Company cash and cash equivalents which also include money market funds are deposited in major banks on the basis of diversification and the credit risk of the available investment alternatives.

During 2024 and 2023, the Company has some low risk short-term financial investments in order to invest a portion of the liquidity of the Group amounting to €50.0 million as of December 31, 2024 (nil as of December 31, 2023) (see note 5.6).

The credit risk of the Company's customer trade receivables is mitigated by the fact that the majority are settled through the clearing houses operated by the International Air Transport Association ('IATA') and Airlines Clearing House, Inc. ('ACH'). These systems guarantee that the cash inflows from our customers will be settled at a certain fixed date, and partially mitigate the credit risk by the fact that the members of the clearing house are required to make deposits that would be used in the event of default. Moreover, our customer base is large and well diversified which results in a low concentration of the credit risk.

5.5 Liquidity risk

Corporate Treasury is responsible for providing the cash needed by all the companies of the Group. In order to perform this task more efficiently, Corporate Treasury accumulates the excess liquidity of the subsidiaries and channels it to the companies with cash needs.

This allocation of the cash position among the companies of the Group is mainly made through these agreements:

  • _ Three different cash pooling agreements. One in EUR with most of the subsidiaries located in the euro area; another one in USD for the US subsidiaries and another one in GBP for the UK subsidiaries.
  • _ Bilateral Treasury Optimization agreements between Amadeus IT Group, S.A. and its subsidiaries.

Corporate Treasury monitors the Company's cash position through rolling forecasts of expected cash flows. These forecasts are performed both through cash-flow models (top-down approach) and by the subsidiaries of the Group (bottom-up approach). Later on, the forecasts provided by the subsidiaries are consolidated in order to review both the liquidity situation and the prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Additionally, the Company has access to a Revolving Credit Facility. This facility has a notional of €1,000.0 million, and can be used to cover possible working capital needs and general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the facility was fully unused.

5.6 Capital management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while continuing to generate returns to shareholders, and to benefit other stakeholders through the optimization of the leverage ratio.

The Company bases its capital management decisions on the relationship between the earnings and free cash flows, and its debt amount and debt service payments.

The rating agency Standard & Poor's has granted to the Company's 'BBB' long term credit rating with a stable outlook and a 'A-2' short term rating. The credit ratings granted to the Company by the agency Moody's are a 'Baa2', with stable outlook, for the long term rating and a 'P-2' for the short term rating.

The Company considers that the ratings awarded, would allow access to the markets, if necessary, on reasonable terms.

The impairment losses in 2024 have been partly offset by €0.3 million due to the release of the contract liabilities related to these contracts.

The main intangible asset included under 'Patents, trademarks, licenses and others' caption is the Amadeus brand. As disclosed in note 4, since January 1, 2016, the Company began to amortize the brands applying the straight-line method over a period of 10 years.

The brand is allocated for the purpose of impairment testing, based on Amadeus organizational structure and operations, to the group of CGUs that is expected to benefit from the brand. The split of the net book value of the brand per group of CGUs is set forth in the table below:

Air Distribution Air IT Solutions Total
Balance at December 31, 2022 67.7 9.2 76.9
Amortization (22.5) (3.1) (25.6)
Balance at December 31, 2023 45.2 6.1 51.3
Amortization (22.5) (3.1) (25.6)
Balance at December 31, 2024 22.7 3.0 25.7

This brand does not generate cash inflows that are independent from other assets and is, therefore, tested for impairment at the level of the group of CGUs at which it can be allocated. The key assumptions used for the impairment tests as well as the methodology followed are disclosed below.

Under 'Goodwill' caption, the Company recognized the goodwill generated by the merger dated in July 31, 2006, described in note 2, related to the excess value registered by the absorbing company at equity value of the absorbed company, once the values assigned to the identified assets had been deducted. As it is explained in note 4, since January 1, 2016, the Company began to amortize the goodwill applying the straight-line method over a period of 10 years.

The goodwill is allocated for the purpose of impairment testing, based on Amadeus organizational structure and operations, to the CGUs that are expected to benefit from the goodwill. The net book value of the goodwill per group of CGUs is set forth in the table below:

Air Distribution Air IT Solutions Total
Balance at December 31, 2022 391.4 25.0 416.4
Amortization (130.5) (8.3) (138.8)
Balance at December 31, 2023 260.9 16.7 277.6
Amortization (130.5) (8.3) (138.8)
Balance at December 31, 2024 130.4 8.4 138.8

The Company tests the net book value of the goodwill for impairment annually or more frequently if there is any indicator that suggests that the net book value of the goodwill might be impaired. The goodwill is tested for impairment together with the assets that can be reasonably allocated to the CGU to which the goodwill has been allocated to.

These assets include intangible assets, such as the 'Amadeus' brand, to the extent that they do not generate cash inflows that are separate from those of the CGUs to which they have been allocated. The corporate assets that the Company operates are also taken into consideration when testing for impairment the CGUs.

Whenever the net book value of an asset exceeds its recoverable value, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference, with the corresponding charge to the income statement in 'Impairment and gains/(losses) on disposal of non-current assets' caption.

The goodwill recoverable amounts of the group of CGUs is established from the fair value, which is calculated discounting future cash flows. In order to determine the fair value of each group of CGUs, the following steps are followed:

  • _ For the purpose of the impairment test exercise, specific forecasts are developed for each group of CGUs, which imply performing a cost allocation exercise for some cost items. These forecasts are developed from the available financial budgets and financial projections approved by the Management. The forecasts takes into account the market position, the market environment and the market growth forecast.
  • _ Cash-flow forecast based on the above and discount rates are calculated after tax. No different conclusions would have been reached if pre-tax discounted rates would have been used.
  • _ The present value of estimated is obtained using specific discount rates that take into account the appropriate risk adjustment factors.

At December 31, 2024, there are fully amortized assets and still in use, amounting to €218.0 million (€328.6 million, 2023). Likewise, at December 31, 2024, and 2023 there are no significant intangible assets outside Spain.

Impairment test

The Company has performed an impairment test of our groups of CGUs, as of September 30, 2024, applying a number of scenarios (a base case, an optimistic case and a pessimistic case), concluding that there was no evidence of impairment at any of our groups of CGUs, even under the pessimistic scenario.

The Company considered the latest information available to test for impairment. Management believes that as of December 31, 2024, there is no triggering event for impairment of the group of CGUs.

Calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets as discussed by the Board of Directors in October 2024 covering a 3-year period (2025-2027) plus additional forecasts developed for 2028 and 2029. Cash flows beyond that five-year period have been extrapolated using growth rates, that do not exceed the long-term average rates for the markets in which the three groups of CGUs operate.

These internal forecasts are derived from external assumptions, including the Gross Domestic Product figures published by the International Monetary Fund and air traffic data provided by IATA, among others. The Group leverages its historical evidence of the average contribution margins to estimate these internal forecasts.

The projections have been performed considering the following assumptions:

The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of forecasted revenues used for the impairment exercise for Air Distribution and Air IT Solutions groups of CGUs is set forth in the table below:

December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
2025 – 2029 period 2024 - 2028 period
Base case 5.66% - 9.16% 6.94% - 9.88%
Optimistic case 6.66% - 11.16% 7.94% - 11.88%
Pessimistic case 4.66% - 8.16% 5.95% - 8.88%

Discount rates have also been reviewed to reflect the current economic situation.

The discount rates and perpetuity growth rates beyond the five-year forecasts applied to the cash flow projections in 2024 and 2023 for the different groups of CGUs are as follows:

December 31, 2024
Perpetuity growth rate Post-tax discount rate Pre-tax discount rate
Air Distribution 1.5% 7.9% 10.1%
Air IT Solutions 2.5% 8.0% 9.8%
December 31, 2023
Perpetuity growth rate Post-tax discount rate Pre-tax discount rate
Air Distribution 1.5% 7.9% 10.0%
Air IT Solutions 2.5% 8.0% 9.8%

According to this analysis of the value in use of assets assigned to the groups of CGUs, there is no evidence of impairment.

Management believes that any reasonable deterioration of the key assumptions considered which are the basis to calculate the value in use, would not result in the recoverable amount being lower than the respective unit's carrying amount for any of the groups of CGUs at which level goodwill is monitored.

12.1 Legal reserve

According to the Spanish Capital Companies Act, 10% of the annual profit has to be transferred to a legal reserve until this reserve reaches at least 20% of the share capital. The legal reserve can be used to increase the share capital of the Company, but the value remaining in the reserve must not be lower than 10% of the increased capital. Except for the aforementioned purpose, and as long as it does not exceed 20% of the share capital, this reserve will only be used to offset losses, provided that no other reserves are available for this purpose.

At December 31, 2024, and 2023, the legal reserve amounts to €0.9 million.

12.2 Special reserves

Until January 1, 2016, when Law 22/2015 of July 20 on Auditing was enacted, each year's profit allocation had to include an increase to an unavailable reserve, named as the "special reserves", due to the goodwill included the balance sheet. Consequently, at least 5% of the goodwill amount was set aside from the profits for this reserve.

Final Clause 13 of Law 22/2015 establishes that for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, the goodwill reserve (Special reserves) will be reclassified as a voluntary reserve (Other reserves) of the company. This reserve will be distributable to the extent that it exceeds the carrying amount of goodwill on the balance sheet.

On December 31, 2024, and 2023, the goodwill reserve registered as a "Special reserves" by the Company amounts to €277.6 million (€416.5 million in 2023).

12.3 Dividends distribution

The Company's dividend policy goal is to pay-out up to a range of 40% to 50% of the consolidated net profit for the year (excluding extraordinary impacts). The amount of dividends the Company decides to pay, if any, and the future dividend policy will however depend on a few factors, such as market conditions and prospects, including financial conditions, as well as the evolution of the Company's operations, its cash requirements and debt service obligations, in which case the Company would undertake the appropriate communications to ensure that the change is made public.

On June 21, 2023, the General Shareholders' Meeting agreed to distribute a gross dividend of €0.74 per ordinary share with dividend rights at the date of payment resulting a total amount of €332.5 million, which was paid on July 13, 2023.

Additionally, on December 15, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors proposed a fixed dividend distribution of 2023 profit for the year of an equivalent 50% of the consolidated net profit, this way reaching the maximum percentage of the dividend distribution policy of the Company. Consequently, an interim dividend distribution was approved against the 2023 profit of the year, amounting to €0.44 per share with dividend rights, paid on January 18, 2024, for a total amount of €193.4 million.

The statement of changes in equity indicates an interim dividend payable of €193.9 million. This figure differs from the actual dividend distributed to shareholders due to the Company's repurchase of treasury shares between December 31, 2023, and the dividend payment date. These treasury shares are not eligible to receive dividends.

On June 6, 2024, the Ordinary General Shareholders Meeting agreed to distribute a final gross dividend of €1.24 per share, and therefore, considering the interim dividend a payment of €0.44 euros per share, a complementary dividend of €0.8 per share was approved and paid to the shares with right to dividend as of July 4, 2024, amounting to €348.5 million.

On December 18, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors proposed a fixed dividend distribution of 2024 profit for the year of an equivalent 50% of the consolidated net profit, this way reaching the maximum percentage of the dividend distribution policy of the Company. Consequently, an interim dividend distribution was approved from the 2024 profit of the year, amounting to €0.5 per share with dividend rights, paid on January 17, 2025, for a total amount of €221.0 million.These treasury shares are not eligible to receive dividend.

The Company is able to distribute dividends whenever the amount of the reserves is greater than the net book value of the development costs registered in the statement of financial position.

16.5 Periods open to tax audit and tax audit procedures

According to the current legislation, taxes cannot be considered definitively settled until the filed tax forms are audited by the Tax Authorities, or until the four years statute of limitations ends.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has the last four years open to tax audit except for those taxes that have been subject to audit which have concluded by signing the tax assessment under protest, recurred by an appeal or it has been object of partial tax audit and which has therefore interrupted the limitation period.

The Directors of the Company consider that the mentioned taxes were properly settled, therefore, in the event of differences in the interpretation of the current tax regulations, regarding the fiscal treatment of the transactions, the potential resulting liabilities, should they materialize, will not significantly impact the annual accounts.

In June 2015, the Company received a final decision from the Central Administrative Court (TEAC) rejecting cumulatively appeals regarding the tax assessment signed under protest relating to the Non-residents Income Tax for the year 2007. The National Court, by resolution of October 2020, accepted the Company's claim partially, declared TEAC's resolution null and void and sent back the appeal to the TEAC. In April 2021 the TEAC issued a new ruling rejecting the Company's claims, so in July 2021 the Company filed a new appeal and a lawsuit before the National Appellate Court. In December 2021 the National Appellate Court received a writ by virtue of which the lawsuit filed was admitted, and the State Attorney was given notice to reply. In April 2022, the conclusions were presented to the National Appellate Court. As of December 31, 2024, the resolution is still pending.

The Company has voluntarily deposited the amount required by the Tax Authorities until the resolution of this litigation (note 9) and has registered the appropriate provisions in order to minimize its exposure in the event the final decision from the Court does not result in its favor (note 13). Therefore, and in any case, the resolution of this matter should not have any significant impact on the Company's financial situation.

The Company has been engaged in disputes with the Indian tax authorities since 1999. These disputes relate to an allegation that the distribution activities in India qualify as a permanent establishment, leading the Indian tax authorities to claim that a portion of the revenue generated from bookings made by travel agencies in India, should be subject to tax in India. In 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that no additional income is subject to tax in India under these circumstances. Consequently, the Company has released the amounts accrued subject to this uncertain tax position accounted for throughout these years. Additionally, and before the Supreme Court decision of 2023, following the order of the Delhi High Court of December 2021, Amadeus requested a refund of the amounts paid to the Indian tax authorities for the amounts withheld over several tax years. The Indian tax authorities initiated in 2023, and continued in 2024, the refund relating to certain periods, resulting in a partial reduction of the corresponding receivables as well as the generation of additional financial income, due to the delay interests. The collection of the amounts withheld in Indian Rupees has also generated exchange differences.

As of December 31, 2024, after the collection of the amounts withheld and exchange losses impacts, the remaining receivable from Indian Tax authorities amounts to €56.8 million (€84.1 million as at December 31, 2023), for which the timing of collection is uncertain and therefore is classified as noncurrent.

Additionally, since 2006, the Indian tax authorities are of the opinion that the IT service agreement executed between the Company and an airline (both non-resident) may give rise to royalty payments and fees for technical services in India. As a result of this interpretation, a new tax claim is under dispute. The dispute has been extended on a yearly basis not only to a specific airline but to the Altea System in general for its operation in India. In 2020, the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) held that payments made by airlines to Amadeus in relation to the Altea system are linked to business profit. Accordingly, the said payments cannot be taxed as royalty under the Tax Treaty between Spain and India. It is the first time a tribunal has ruled the above. The resolution is not final and has been appealed by the Indian Tax Authorities to the Delhi High Court, although the ITAT criteria has been extended to other resolutions of different fiscal years on the same subject under dispute. The Delhi High Court, in several resolutions passed during 2023 with respect to the years 2006 to 2018, has dismissed the different appeals filed by the Indian Tax Authorities, although the latter could file an appeal before the Supreme Court. With respect to the years 2019 and 2020, they are at different procedural stage, with a positive judgment from the ITAT as regards 2019, which was appealed before the Delhi High Court by the Indian Tax Authorities. Although it is still pending of judgment, it should follow the same criteria as prior years.

Amadeus Hellas Electronic Travel Information Services Single Member Societe Anonyme (Amadeus Hellas) has been facing recurrent VAT tax audits. Specifically, the Greek tax authorities considered that Amadeus IT Group, S.A. had a permanent establishment for VAT purposes in Greece and, therefore, argued that the distribution fee invoiced by Amadeus Hellas to Amadeus IT Group, S.A. should be subject to Greek VAT as a local provision of services from Amadeus Hellas to the Greek permanent establishment of Amadeus IT Group, S.A. Amadeus Hellas has been appealing these assessments on a recurrent basis and by different means. Finally, after many years of litigation, in 2023, Amadeus has obtained a favorable judgment from the Greek Supreme Court for the period 2007-2009, which should be considered extensive for other period under assessment (2003-2006, 2010-2017, 2019). The judgment from the Greek Supreme Court was ratified by the Piraeus Court of Appeal, but the Greek state filed an appeal before the Supreme Court using a different argumentation for this purpose.

On the other hand, although closely related to the previously mentioned matter, in February 2024, the Court of Appeal ruled that Amadeus IT Group, S.A. has the right to receive a VAT refund for the years 2003-2013 through the procedure for non-established taxable persons. The Greek state has appealed this ruling to the Supreme Court.

Finally, in November 2024, Amadeus Hellas collected €9.5 million from the Greek Tax Authorities related to the period 2007-2009.

In 2023, the Group updated its tax risk assessments (for direct and indirect taxes), as a result of changes in estimates of tax contingencies, fundamentally due to the positive resolution of proceedings with the Indian and Greek tax authorities. The update in these tax risk assessments impacted several captions in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income in 2023, as described below:

  • _ €42.0 million income, recognized as a reduction of 'Other operating expenses' caption.
  • _ €12.4 million income, recognized within 'Income tax expense' caption.
  • _ €27.7 million exchange losses, recognized within 'Exchange rate differences'.
  • _ €21.1 million income, recognized in ' Other financial income / (expenses)' caption.

Also, linked to the resolution of the proceeding in India, Amadeus collected from the Indian tax authorities: (i) €42.8 million in 2023, which was recognized in the change in working capital (€38.8 million) and interest received (€4.0 million) captions of the statement of cash flows, and (ii) €44.9 million in 2024, which was recognized in the change in working capital (€37.5 million) and interest received (€7.4 million) captions of the statement of cash flows.

On January 18, 2024, the Spanish Constitutional Court has ruled that the Corporate Income Tax (CIT) measures established for large taxpayers approved by Royal Decree 3/2016, is unconstitutional and, therefore, null and void, because it violates the limits of the power to legislate through Royal Decree.

Only taxpayers who had challenged their previous CIT returns (2022 and before) would be entitled to make effective the effects of the ruling from the Constitutional Court, which is the Amadeus case, being entitled to claim a refund from the Tax Authorities.

The ruling affected Amadeus on the following topics:

  • _ The restrictions on the use of net operating losses (NOLs) by large companies.
  • _ The requirement to automatically include in the tax base the impairment of investments in Group companies that were previously deducted before 2013.

The application of this ruling in the annual accounts has mainly resulted as of December 31, 2024, in a reclassification of €36.4 million from deferred tax assets and liabilities to current income taxes in the balance sheet for the impact in the 2022 income tax return. As of December 31, 2024, the mentioned amount is still pending to be refunded by Spanish Tax Authorities The income tax calculation for the year 2023 also considered the effects of this ruling and has resulted in additional €71.2 million of NOLs application.

However, despite the recent ruling of the Spanish Constitutional Court, on December 21, 2024, Law 7/2024 of December 20, was published, establishing a Complementary Tax to guarantee a global minimum level of taxation for multinational groups and large national groups (...) (hereinafter, "Law 7/2024") by which the tax provisions approved by RD 3/2016 and declared unconstitutional of RD 3/2016 were reinstated.

The application of Law 7/2024 has not impacted the application of NOLs. Nevertheless, the impairment of investments in Group companies that were previously tax deducted will be adjusted, in equal parts, during the next three fiscal years (2024, 2025, and 2026), for a total amount of €17.1 million.

Since January 1, 2024, the regulatory standard for the global minimum tax, also known as Pillar Two, is applicable for the Company. The Company will have to pay a complementary tax (top up tax) for each jurisdiction whose adjusted effective tax rate is below 15%, following the OECD model rules also included in Council Directive (EU) 2022/2523 of December 15, 2022.

Law 7/2024 incorporated the global minimum tax to the Spanish Tax System for 2024.

In this sense, taking into account the existing regulatory framework so far, the Company has carried out an analysis of both safe harbors and complex calculation of the global minimum tax, based on the accounting information for the 2024 financial year. Based on the best available estimate of results and subject to unforeseeable subsequent events, the application of the global minimum tax does not have a significant impact in the Company Income statement, following the application of the specific adjustments provided for in the Pillar Two regulatory legislation and the safe harbors' rules.

18.5 Share based payments

The Company has the following reward schemes in place for management and employees. The acquisition costs of the shares delivered are re-invoiced to the Group Companies whose employees are enrolled in these schemes:

18.5.1. Performance Share Plan

The Performance Share Plan (PSP) consists of a contingent award of shares to certain of the Amadeus Group's management. The final delivery of the shares at the end of the vesting period depends on the achievement of predetermined performance objectives that relate to value creation in Amadeus as well as employee service requirements. The performance objectives relate to the relative shareholder return, the adjusted basic earnings per share (EPS) growth and to pre-tax adjusted free cash flow growth. The vesting period of each independent cycle is 3 years and no holding period applies.

This plan is considered as equity-settled. The fair value of the services received during the years ended as of December 31, 2024, as consideration for the equity instruments granted, is presented in the income statement under 'Personnel and related expenses' caption by an amount of €7.1 million (€3.5 million, 2023).

The fair value of the equity instruments granted has been determined using a Monte-Carlo valuation model for the tranche that involves market conditions, and a Black-Scholes method and an estimation of expected performance for the tranche that involves non-market conditions. The fair value of the equity instruments at grant date is adjusted to incorporate the market conditions to which the performance of the plan is linked.

For PSP there are two types of plans, PSP(I) and PSP(II). PSP(II) is for certain employees (mainly members of the executive committee) and, unlike PSP(I), is subject to a post-vesting holding period of two years. This restriction has been taken into account when determining the fair value of the instruments granted.

PSP 2021 (I) PSP 2021 (II) PSP 2022 (I) PSP 2022 (II) PSP 2023 (I) PSP 2023 (II) PSP 2024 (I) PSP 2024 (II) Total shares allotted at grant date (1) 18,282 34,090 27,750 31,990 34,350 54,360 45,242 59,081 Fair value of the instruments at grant date (2) 59.92€ 51.24€ 59.02€ 51.76€ 65.97€ 57.08€ 56.66€ 50.43€ Dividend yield – – – – 0.88% 0.88% 1.69% 1.69% Expected volatility 40.89% 46.37% 42.28% 38.88% 35.48% 30.05% 27.38% 25.05% Risk free interest rate – – 1.06% 1.37% 3.13% 3.12% 3.00% 2.93%

The detail of the shares allotted and fair value at grant date is set forth in the table below:

(1) This number of shares could increase up to double if the Group's performance in all performance objectives is extraordinary.

(2) This fair value is calculated as the weighted average share price throughout the plan.

During the year 2024, PSP 2021 has been settled at the vesting date, implying that the Company transferred to the eligible employees 39,387 shares, due to the achievement of the performance objectives (75.3%), at a weighted average price of €63.98 per share. The Company used treasury shares to settle these share-based payments (note 12).

During the year 2023, the PSP 2020 has been settled at the vesting date, implying that the Company transferred to the eligible employees 49,994 shares, due to the achievement of the performance objectives (61.5%), at a weighted average price of €66.42 per share. The Company used treasury shares to settle these share-based payments (note 12).

18.5.2. Restricted Share Plan

The Restricted Share Plan (RSP) consists on the delivery of a given number of shares of Amadeus shares to certain employees on a non-recurring basis, after predetermined services requirements are met.

The RSP beneficiaries must remain employed in a Group company during a determined period of time, which oscillates between 2 and 5 years.

This plan is considered as equity-settled. The fair value of the services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted, 117,843 shares during the year 2024 (122,281 shares, 2023), is presented in the income statement under 'Personnel and related expenses' caption by an amount of €2.7 million (€3.2 million, 2023).

The detail of RSP awards settled during 2024 and 2023 is set forth in the table below:

Weighted average price €64.01 €65.08

(1) The Company used treasury shares to settle these share-based payments (note 12).

18.5.3. Share Match Plan

The Share Match Plan (SMP) consists of a contingent award of Company's shares to employees that voluntarily decided to participate in the plan. The final delivery of the shares at the end of the vesting period depends on the achievement of predetermined vesting conditions, which are related to the purchase and holding of the shares, as well as the participant must remain employed in a Group company until the end of the cycle.

Under the terms of the SMP, Amadeus will grant the participants an additional share for every two purchased, if they hold the shares for a year after the purchase period has ended.

This plan is considered as equity-settled. The fair value of the services received as consideration for the equity instruments granted, 32,519 shares during the year 2024 (29,272 shares, 2023), is presented in the income statement under 'Personnel and related expenses' caption by an amount of €0.9 million (€0.8 million, 2023).

Finally, during financial year ended December 31, 2024 the Company has registered a net profit after taxes amounting to €1,156.8 million, whereas for same twelve-month period ended December 31, 2023, the net profit after taxes amounted to €576.3 million.

2.2 Headcount

From a year-end perspective, the Amadeus employees as at December 31, 2024 amounted to 1,132 employees, whereas for 2023 amounted to 1,039. The average number of employees during 2024 amounted to 1,090, while for 2023 amounted to 1,008, registering an increase of 8.1%.

3. FINANCIAL RISK AND CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

The Company, as a result of the normal course of its business activities, has exposure to foreign exchange, interest rate, treasury shares price evolution, credit and liquidity risk. The goal of the Company is to identify, measure and minimize these risks using the most effective and efficient methods to eliminate, mitigate, or compensate such exposures. With the purpose of managing these risks, in some occasions, the Company enters into hedging activities with derivatives and nonderivative instruments.

3.1 Foreign exchange rate risk

Due to the multinational orientation of its business, the Company is subject to foreign exchange risks derived from the fluctuations of various currencies. The Company's exchange rate hedging strategy aims to protect the EUR value of cash flows denominated in foreign currency. The instruments used to achieve this goal depend on the currency in which the cash flow to be hedged is denominated:

  • _ The strategy to minimize USD exchange rate exposures is based on the use of natural hedges and derivative instruments. Neither as of December 31, 2024, nor as of December 31, 2023, there was significant USD denominated debt.
  • _ Aside from the USD, the main foreign currency exposures are expenditures denominated in a variety of foreign currencies. The most significant of these exposures are denominated in Sterling Pounds (GBP), Indian Rupees (INR), Australian Dollars (AUD) and Singapore Dollars (SGD). For these exposures, a natural hedge strategy is not possible. In order to hedge a portion of the aforementioned short exposures, the Company may enter into derivative contracts with financial entities, basically non deliverable forwards, currency options and combinations of currency options.

3.2 Interest rate risk

The objective of the Company, in terms of interest rate risk management, is reducing the volatility of the net interest flows payable. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 92% of the interest-bearing external debt contracted by the Group was fixed rate debt (95%, 2023). Given the high proportion of fixed rate debt as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, no interest rate hedges were hedging the outstanding debt as of these dates.

The sensitivity of fair value of the Company's debt to a 0.1% (10 bps) parallel shift of the interest rate curve as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, is set forth in the table below:

December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
+10 bps -10 bps +10 bps -10 bps
Euro denominated debt (6.4) 6.4 (6.9) 7.0
Total (6.4) 6.4 (6.9) 7.0

In 2024 there has been a reduction in the sensitivity of the value of the debt to the movements of the interest rate curve with respect to the previous year. This reduction has been caused by the smaller price sensitivity of the outstanding debt due to its shorter average life.

According to the table above a 10 bps drop in the level of interest rates would cause an increase in the fair value of the debt amounting to €6.4 million at December 31, 2024 (€7.0 million, 2023).

3.3 Treasury shares price evolution risk

The Company has granted three different remuneration schemes outstanding which are settled with Amadeus shares; the 'Performance Share Plan' (PSP), the 'Restricted Share Plan' (RSP) and the 'Share Match Plan' (SMP).

According to the conditions of these plans, at their maturity, the beneficiaries will receive a number of shares, that for the plans granted, will depend on the achievement of certain conditions. The Company will use treasury shares to cover these remuneration schemes.

During 2024 and 2023, the Company has acquired treasury shares through share buy-back programs

3.4 Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty to a financial asset will cause a loss for the Company by failing to discharge an obligation.

The Company cash and cash equivalents which also include money market funds are deposited in major banks on the basis of diversification and the credit risk of the available investment alternatives.

The credit risk of the Company's customer trade receivables is mitigated by the fact that the majority are settled through the clearing houses operated by the International Air Transport Association ('IATA') and Airlines Clearing House, Inc. ('ACH'). These systems guarantee that the cash inflows from our customers will be settled at a certain fixed date, and partially mitigate the credit risk by the fact that the members of the clearing house are required to make deposits that would be used in the event of default. Moreover, our customer base is large and well diversified which results in a low concentration of the credit risk.

3.5 Liquidity risk

Corporate Treasury is responsible for providing the cash needed by all the companies of the Group. In order to perform this task more efficiently, Corporate Treasury accumulates the excess liquidity of the subsidiaries and channels it to the companies with cash needs.

This allocation of the cash position among the companies of the Group is mainly made through these agreements:

  • _ Three different cash pooling agreements. One in EUR with most of the subsidiaries located in the euro area; another one in USD for the US subsidiaries and another one in GBP for the UK subsidiaries.
  • _ Bilateral Treasury Optimization agreements between Amadeus IT Group, S.A. and its subsidiaries.

Corporate Treasury monitors the Company's cash position through rolling forecasts of expected cash flows. These forecasts are performed both through cash-flow models (top-down approach) and by the subsidiaries of the Group (bottom-up approach). Later on, the forecasts provided by the subsidiaries are consolidated in order to review both the liquidity situation and the prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries.

Additionally, the Company has access to a Revolving Credit Facility. This facility has a notional of €1,000.0 million, and can be used to cover possible working capital needs and general corporate purposes. As of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the facility was fully unused.

3.6 Capital management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as a going concern while continuing to generate returns to shareholders, and to benefit other stakeholders through the optimization of the leverage ratio.

The Company bases its capital management decisions on the relationship between the earnings and free cash flows, and its debt amount and debt service payments.

The rating agency Standard & Poor's has granted to the Company's 'BBB' long term credit rating with a stable outlook and a 'A-2' short term rating. The credit ratings granted to the Company by the agency Moody's are a 'Baa2', with stable outlook, for the long term rating and a 'P-2' for the short term rating.

The Company considers that the ratings awarded, would allow access to the markets, if necessary, on reasonable terms.

4.EXPECTED BUSINESS EVOLUTION

4.1 Macroeconomic environment

Amadeus' businesses and operations are largely dependent on the evolution of the worldwide travel and tourism industry, which is sensitive to general economic conditions and trends.

In December 2024, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecast that the number of global air passengers will grow by +6.2%2 in 2025 vs. 2024.

Having market leading technology allows us to serve our customers better and to continue driving innovation in travel.

We expect to maintain our leadership positions in both Air Distribution and Airline IT, while continuing to grow our Hospitality business, supported by our focus on R&D, local market understanding and travel industry expertise.

In Air Distribution, the Amadeus Travel Platform continues to bring together travel content from different sources, including NDC and LCC content, as evidenced by multiple recent airline agreements, including IndiGo and Delta Air Lines.

In Air IT Solutions, we will continue to lead the transformation of airline retailing with Nevio, our renewed Airline IT portfolio of solutions for FSCs, working with our launch partners British Airways, Finnair and Saudia. We will also continue to invest in Stratos, the evolution of our solution for LCCs, as well as sustaining growth in our Expert Airline Services and Airport IT businesses.

In Hospitality and Other Solutions, we will progress on the implementations of Marriott and Accor onto the Amadeus Central Reservation System, while continuing to integrate across our wide Hospitality portfolio, which offers a broad range of innovative solutions to hotels and chains of all sizes across the globe. This will be augmented by the continued growth of our payments business.

Investing in technology is a key pillar to our success. In 2025, Amadeus will maintain investment in R&D to support long term growth, such as new customer implementations, product evolution, portfolio expansion and cross-area technological projects.
