The collapse of the Morandi road bridge
2018 will remain in our hearts and minds as a result of the tragic collapse of the Morandi road bridge on the A10 motorway in Genoa, which on 14 August caused the deaths of 43 people and involved our subsidiary, Autostrade per l'Italia. We should like to take this opportunity to once again express our condolences for the victims and our deepest sympathy for their families.
The authorities are currently conducting an investigation into the causes and with a view to eventually identifying those responsible.
Autostrade per l'Italia, with the full support of the Parent Company, Atlantia, immediately did everything in its power to mitigate the effects of the tragedy, working closely with the local population, government agencies and businesses, and giving full priority to its response in keeping with its role as a socially responsible company.
Autostrade per l'Italia's commitment covered all possible areas of intervention: compensation for victims' families, support for families forced to abandon their homes, help for shop owners, small businesses and firms directly or indirectly affected by the collapse of the road bridge. The subsidiary also took immediate steps to enable the rapid construction of a new road bridge and return the road network in the city of Genoa to normal. This involved making available the resources requested by the Special Commissioner in relation to the demolition and reconstruction of the bridge.
Autostrade per l'Italia has also put in place an extraordinary monitoring programme for the infrastructure along its network, carried out by its area offices, which are responsible for safety on the sections in their area. The programme was drawn up with the support of leading external consultants. The results of the checks, which were conducted in addition to those regularly carried out by Spea Engineering, once again confirmed that the motorway
network operated by the subsidiary is safe.
The acquisition of Abertis
From a financial point of view, 2018 saw the Atlantia Group complete its acquisition of the Abertis group, consolidating its global leadership in the transport infrastructure sector. The acquisition of control of Abertis, which has accelerated and secured the process of international expansion successfully pursued by the Group in previous years. The deal marks a change in outlook and prospects.
The Atlantia Group is today present in 22 countries around the world, operating 14,000 kilometres of toll motorway, the airports of Fiumicino and Ciampino in Italy and the three French airports of Nice, Cannes-Mandelieu and Saint Tropez. The airports controlled by the Group handle a total of over 60 million passengers a year.
The Atlantia Group's size is unparalleled in the sector at global level: a total workforce of 31,000, revenue of €11 billion, more than €7 billion in EBITDA (with approximately 30% of EBITDA today attributable to Autostrade per l'Italia).
In addition, our global footprint and new partnership with Hochtief, resulting from the same transaction, can open the door to potential expansion into fastgrowing countries in which Atlantia does not yet have a presence. This will enable us to grasp the opportunities represented by the transport needs of major urban agglomerations in North America, northern Europe and Australia by providing them with the new infrastructure to meet those needs. With regard to our airport concessions, 2018 saw us rise to the top of the international rankings in terms of the quality of service offered by the subsidiary, Aeroporti di Roma, thanks to its performance at Fiumicino's Leonardo da Vinci airport. According to Airports Council International ("ACI"), the body that analyses comparative data for the world's major airports, during 2018 Fiumicino airport was the highest ranked airport throughout the western world (the USA plus Europe), based on passenger surveys focusing on the quality of the services on offer. In 2018, ACI also included Fiumicino in its list of the world's best airports. As regards automated tolling systems, Telepass significantly expanded the range of services offered to its customers in 2018. Atlantia's subsidiary also boosted its presence in the European tolling services market, focusing on
systems for both light and heavy vehicles and becoming number one in the

10
sector at EU level.
The acquisitions of 2018 required us to find significant financial resources in order to expand the Group, whilst maintaining a solid financial position. The Group's strong cash generation will, moreover, allow us to rapidly deleverage, enabling us to take advantage of further selective opportunities. The Group is strong and possesses significant cash reserves for the various operating platforms, with debt levels that are sustainable, as confirmed by the remaining terms of our concessions.
Operating performance There was an improvement in our operating results in 2018, although performances varied in the different geographical areas in which the Group is
present. Motorway traffic continued to grow in 2018, with demand for mobility strongest in Chile and Poland, whilst Brazil finally appears to be picking up. Passengers using the airports operated by the Atlantia Group's subsidiaries rose 4%, driven in part by growth in long-haul traffic using Fiumicino airport.
Medium-term strategies and objectives
We have the capability to manage complex infrastructure projects and we are ready to grasp new growth opportunities around the world, leveraging the wealth of expertise present within the new Group and the synergies offered by combining Atlantia's assets with those of Abertis.
Atlantia is a solid, dynamic and diversified group, looking forward to the future and operating in a socially responsible way, and able to provide the best possible response to the needs of government bodies and customers in the many countries in which we operate.

In application of the CONSOB Ruling of 3 December 2015, governing implementation in Italy of the guidelines for alternative performance indicators ("APIs") issued by the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA), the basis used in preparing the APIs published by the Atlantia Group is described below.
The APIs shown in this Annual Report are deemed relevant to an assessment of the operating performance based on the overall results of the Atlantia Group as a whole and the results of its operating segments and of individual consolidated companies. In addition, the APIs provide an improved basis for comparison of the results over time, even if they are not a replacement for or an alternative to the results determined applying the consolidated accounting standards in section 3 of the "Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018: financial statements and notes" (the "statutory financial statements") and determined applying the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) described therein.
With regard to the APIs, Atlantia presents reclassified financial statements, for both the Group and the Parent Company, in the "Financial review for the Atlantia Group" and the "Financial review for Atlantia SpA". These statements are different from those required under IFRS, included in the consolidated financial statements and the separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 (the statutory financial statements). In addition to amounts from the income statement and statement of financial position prepared under IFRS, these reclassified financial statements present a number of indicators and items derived from them, even when they are not required by the above standards and are, therefore, identifiable as APIs. In this regard, the "Reconciliation of the reclassified and statutory financial statements", included in the "Financial review for the Atlantia Group" and the "Financial review for Atlantia SpA", presents the reconciliation of the reclassified financial statements with the corresponding statutory financial statements.
Following the acquisition of Abertis Infraestructuras SA and its subsidiaries (the "Abertis group"), completed at the end of October 2018 as described in greater detail below, and in view of certain preexisting differences with regard to presentation of certain amounts and the definition of performance indicators by the Abertis group with respect to the Atlantia Group, it was necessary to conduct a GAAP analysis and an assessment of the basis of presentation used in the statutory and reclassified financial statements. This process, which also aimed to ensure the application of standardised accounting policies in the reporting packages provided by Group companies for the purposes of preparing the consolidated accounts, did not indicate that Atlantia needs to modify its accounting policies or its presentation of information in its statutory financial statements. However, solely with regard to the reclassified income statement, it was deemed appropriate to modify the classification of provisions and uses of provisions for the repair and replacement of motorway infrastructure and provisions for risks and charges, including them in the components that contribute to EBITDA in the same way as other operating income and costs. This is in line with the basis of presentation for EBITDA adopted by the Abertis group. In order to
provide a consistent basis for comparison between the two comparative periods, EBITDA for 2017 has been appropriately restated, as described in the introduction to the section, "Financial review for the Atlantia Group".
A list of the APIs used in this Annual Report, together with a brief description, reflecting the new definition of EBITDA, and their reconciliation with reported amounts, is provided below:
A number of APIs, calculated as above, are also presented after applying certain adjustments in order to provide a consistent basis for comparison over time, or in application of a different financial statement
presentation deemed to be more effective in describing the financial performance of specific activities of the Atlantia Group. These adjustments to the AIPs fall within the following three categories:
The financial review contained in this section includes and analyses the Atlantia Group's reclassified consolidated income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of changes in net debt for the year ended 31 December 2018, in which amounts are compared with those of the previous year. The review also includes and analyses the reclassified statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, compared with comparative amounts as at 31 December 2017, and the reconciliation of Atlantia's equity and profit for the year with the corresponding consolidated amounts.
The international financial reporting standards (IFRS) endorsed by the European Commission and in effect as at 31 December 2018 were used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements for 2018. With regard to the new IFRS in effect, the following standards were applied for the first time from 1 January 2018: IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 - Financial instruments. The impact of the new standards is described below.
The Atlantia Group's scope of consolidation as at 31 December 2018 differs from the scope as at 31 December 2017, reflecting the following:
acquired in goodwill (€16,774 million). Once the process of confirming the fair values of the Abertis group's assets and liabilities has been completed, which will take place within twelve months of the acquisition date, as required by IFRS 3, the Abertis group's contribution to the operating results and financial position reported in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 will be redetermined. Whilst not having an impact on the Group's scope of consolidation, it should be noted that Atlantia, in a separate transaction, has also acquired a 23.86% interest in Hochtief from ACS.
Further details of the acquisitions completed in 2018 are provided in note 6, "Acquisitions and corporate actions" in section 3 of the Annual Report, "Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018: financial statements and notes".
The reclassified consolidated financial statements for 2017 present a number of differences compared with the information published in the Annual Report for 2017. These regard:
In addition, following first-time adoption of IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, certain effects of financial transactions carried out in 2017 have been restated and recognised, as permitted by the standard, in the statement of financial position as at 1 January 2018. This has resulted in an increase of €32 million in consolidated equity, a reduction in non-current financial liabilities of €42 million and an increase of €10 million in deferred tax liabilities, as described in greater detail in the section, "Consolidated financial position".
Finally, with regard to material, non-recurring events, a section of the Polcevera road bridge on the A10 Genoa to Ventimiglia motorway, operated by Autostrade per l'Italia, collapsed on 14 August 2018, causing the deaths of 43 people. Convinced that Autostrade per l'Italia has complied with its concession obligations and whilst awaiting the outcome of the ongoing investigation into the causes of the collapse, Atlantia has prepared its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 taking into account the latest estimates of the costs directly linked to the collapse, without prejudicing any determination of liability. In particular, as specified in greater detail below, the event has resulted in reduced toll revenue, expenses and provisions linked to the cost of demolition and reconstruction of the road bridge (with related costs for expropriations and compensation payable to people, businesses and firms directly affected by the collapse), compensation payable to victims' families and to the injured, legal expenses and financial help to enable the purchase of basic necessities. This has resulted in an overall after-tax downward impact on profit for the year of approximately €371 million. These amounts prudently do not take into account the positive impact of any eventual insurance proceeds. More detailed information on the events of 14 August 2018 is provided in the section, "Significant regulatory aspects", in the report on operations and in note 6.4 in the "Consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018: financial statements and notes".
Other than the acquisitions and events described above, the Group did not enter into non-recurring, atypical or unusual transactions, either with third or related parties, having a material impact on the consolidated accounts in either of the comparative periods.
The following table shows the reconciliation of like-for-like consolidated amounts for gross operating profit (EBITDA), profit for the year, profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent and operating cash flow, as defined in the section, "Alternative performance indicators", and the corresponding amounts presented in the reclassified consolidated income statement for both 2018 and the comparative period.

The term "like-for-like basis", used in the analysis of changes in certain consolidated financial indicators, refers to the fact that amounts for the
comparative periods have been determined by eliminating the following:
"Operating revenue" for 2018 amounts to €6,916 million, an increase of €950 million (16%) compared with 2017 (€5,966 million). After stripping out the Abertis group's contribution, after its consolidation for the last two months of 2018, operating revenue is up €123 million (2%).
"Toll revenue" of €4,992 million is up €797 million (19%) compared with 2017 (€4,195 million). After adjusting for the impact of exchange rate movements, which in 2018 had a negative impact of €57 million, and the Abertis group's contribution, amounting to €754 million, toll revenue is up €100 million, primarily due to the following:
"Aviation revenue" of €834 million is up €42 million (5%) compared with 2017 (€792 million), primarily due to traffic growth at Aeroporti di Roma (passenger traffic up 4.2%) and at the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group (passenger traffic up 4.1%).
"Other operating income" totals €1,090 million, an increase of €111 million compared with 2017 (€979 million). After stripping out the Abertis group's contribution, amounting to €73 million, other operating income is up €38 million, primarily reflecting increases in non-aviation revenue and revenue from the sub-concession of space at the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group and at Aeroporti di Roma, as well as increased revenue at the Telepass group.
1 Toll increase awarded by the Ministry of Transport net of 0.43% as reimbursement for discounts granted to commuters in the period 2014-2017. This component has not had an impact on toll revenue in 2018, as the related revenue and receivables have been allocated to the annual reporting periods in which the discounts were applied.

(*) The reconciliation with the reported amounts in the consolidated income statement is provided in the section, "Reconciliation of the reclassified and statutory financial statements".
"Net operating costs" of €3,148 million are up €861 million compared with 2017 (€2,287 million).
The "Cost of materials and external services and other costs", totalling €1,239 million, are up €272 million compared with 2017 (€967 million). At constant exchange rates, the increase is €289 million, primarily due to a combination of the following:
The "Intercompany margin on capital expenditure" in 2018 has resulted in income of €33 million, a reduction of €62 million compared with 2017 (€95 million). This reflects the reduced volume of work carried out by the Group's own in-house technical units, partly linked to application of the new legislation governing tenders, and the settlement reached by Pavimental and Autostrade per l'Italia in 2017 in relation to certain infrastructure work carried out on the Barberino-Florence North section of motorway.
"Concession fees" of €532 million are up €19 million (4%) compared with 2017 (€513 million). After stripping out the Abertis group's contribution (€10 million), concession fees are up €9 million, primarily due to increased toll revenue at Autostrade per l'Italia and growth in passenger traffic at Aeroporti di Roma.
The "Operating change in provisions" in 2018 resulted in an expense of €437 million (an expense of €11 million in 2017). After stripping out the Abertis group's contribution (income of €39 million), the operating change in provisions in the two comparative periods is a negative €465 million, primarily reflecting the provisions made by Autostrade per l'Italia (an amount of €454 million) following the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge.
"Net staff costs" of €973 million are up €82 million (€891 million in 2017). After adjusting for the impact of exchange rate movements (a negative impact of €7 million) and the Abertis group's contribution (€108 million), these costs are down €19 million due to a reduction in the fair value of management incentive plans, a reduction in the average workforce and an increase in the capitalised portion of such costs, partially offset by an increase in the average unit cost due to contract renewals.
"Gross operating profit" (EBITDA) of €3,768 million is up €89 million compared with 2017 (€3,679 million). On a like-for-like basis, EBITDA is up €56 million (2%).
"Amortisation and depreciation, impairment losses and reversals of impairment losses" amount to €1,357 million, marking an increase of €345 million compared with 2017 (€1,012 million). This is primarily due to the Abertis group's contribution (€222 million) and recognition, in 2017, of a partial reversal of impairment losses on intangible assets deriving from concession rights recognised in the past by Raccordo Autostradale Valle d'Aosta (€79 million).
"Provisions for renewal work and other adjustments" of €168 million are up €79 million compared with the previous year (€89 million). This primarily reflects an updated estimate of the present value of future renewal work to be carried out on the infrastructure operated under concession by Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur.
"Operating profit" (EBIT) of €2,243 million is down €335 million (13%) compared with 2017 (€2,578 million).
"Financial income accounted for as an increase in financial assets deriving from concession rights and government grants" amounts to €109 million, an increase of €36 million compared with the previous year (€73 million) essentially due to the Abertis group's contribution (€34 million).
"Financial expenses from discounting of provisions for construction services required by contract and other provisions" amount to €53 million, an increase of €11 million compared with 2017 (€42 million), essentially due to the Abertis group's contribution (€9 million).
"Net other financial expenses" of €793 million are up €247 million compared with 2017 (€546 million), essentially due to the following:
"Capitalised financial expenses" of €9 million are up €5 million on 2017 (€4 million), primarily due to the Abertis group's contribution.
The "Share of profit/(loss) of investees accounted for using the equity method" amounts to a profit of €4 million, an increase of €6 million compared with 2017 (a loss of €2 million).
"Income tax expense" amounts to €440 million, marking a reduction of €192 million compared with 2017 (€632 million). This reflects the reduction in pre-tax profit for 2018 and the fact that income tax expense for 2017 included €46 million recognised as a result of Autostrade per l'Italia's distribution of a portion of its distributable reserves and its payment of a dividend in kind to Atlantia as part of the Group's restructuring, completed in the previous year.
"Profit from continuing operations" amounts to €1,079 million, marking a reduction of €354 million compared with 2017 (€1,433 million).
"Profit for the year", amounting to €1,083 million is down €349 million compared with 2017 (€1,432 million) and includes the Abertis group's contribution (€186 million). On a like-for-like basis, profit for the year is down €46 million (3%).
"Profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent", amounting to €818 million, is down €354 million compared with 2017 (€1,172 million). On a like-for-like basis, profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent is down €20 million (2%).
"Profit attributable to non-controlling interests" amounts to €265 million, an increase of €5 million on 2017 (€260 million).

The "Other comprehensive loss for the year", after the related taxation, amounts to €867 million for 2018 (€134 million in 2017), primarily reflecting the following:
a) the loss, after the related taxation, recognised in equity after fair value measurement of the investment in Hocthief, amounting to €422 million. The reduction in fair value, measured on the basis of the price of the company's shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange at the end of the year, was largely reversed in early 2019;
As at 31 December 2018, "Non-current non-financial assets" of €63,656 million are up €34,396 million on the figure for 31 December 2017 (€29,260 million), essentially reflecting the Abertis group's contribution, totalling €32,752 million.
"Property, plant and equipment" of €696 million is up €393 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€303 million), primarily reflecting the Abertis group's contribution (€412 million).
"Intangible assets" total €57,627 million (€27,424 million as at 31 December 2017) and essentially relate to the intangible assets deriving from the Atlantia Group's concession rights, amounting to €35,840 million. This amount includes the recognition, on a provisional basis, of goodwill resulting from the different between the purchase cost and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as a result of the acquisition of the Abertis group (€16,774 million), in addition to goodwill (€4,383 million) recognised as at 31 December 2003, following acquisition of the majority shareholding in the former Autostrade – Concessioni e Costruzioni Autostrade SpA.
The increase in intangible assets, totalling €30,203 million, primarily reflects the following:
"Investments", totalling €3,597 million, are up €3,330 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€267 million), primarily due to:
"Deferred tax assets" of €1,607 million, marking an increase of €349 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€1,258 million). This primarily reflects the Abertis group's contribution (€312 million).

"Working capital" reports a negative balance of €176 million compared with a negative balance of €1,112 million as at 31 December 2017, marking a reduction of €936 million.
This primarily reflects a combination of the following:
"Non-current non-financial liabilities", totalling €9,217 million are up €2,328 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€6,889 million). The change primarily reflects the following:
As a result, "Net invested capital" totals €54,263 million (€21,259 million as at 31 December 2017).
"Equity attributable to owners of the parent and non-controlling interests" totals €16,332 million (€11,763 million as at 31 December 2017).
"Equity attributable to owners of the parent", totalling €8,442 million, is down €330 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€8,772 million), essentially following payment of Atlantia's final dividend for 2017 (€532 million), partly offset by:
"Equity attributable to non-controlling interests" of €7,890 million is up €4,899 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€2,991 million), essentially due to combination of the following:

The Atlantia Group's net debt as at 31 December 2018 amounts to €37,931 million (€9,496 million as at 31 December 2017), an increase of €28,435 million. This essentially reflects the impact of the acquisition and consolidation of the Abertis group (€25,847 million, including the debt contributed at the date consolidation and after the contribution from ACS and Hochtief to Abertis HoldCo) and, in a separate transaction, acquisition of the investment in Hochtief (€2,411 million), as described above.
"Non-current net debt", amounting to €39,614 million, is up €25,960 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€13,654 million) and consists of:
"Current net funds" of €1,683 million are down €2,475 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€4,158 million). This amount consists of:
The residual weighted average term to maturity of the Group's interest-bearing debt is 5 years and 10 months as at 31 December 2018. 67% of the Group's debt is fixed rate. The average cost of the Group's medium/long-term borrowings in 2018 was approximately 3.1% (due to the combined effect of the 2.8% paid by the companies operating in Italy, 5.5% paid by the Chilean companies and the 8.4% paid by the Brazilian companies, after stripping out the Abertis group and its
As at 31 December 2018, project debt attributable to specific overseas companies amounts to €6,293 million. At the same date, the Atlantia Group has cash reserves of €15,416 million, consisting of:
a) €5,073 million in cash and cash equivalents;
parent, Abertis HoldCo, whose average cost of debt was 3.51%).
The Group's net debt, as defined in the European Securities and Market Authority – ESMA (formerly CESR) Recommendation of 20 March 2013 (which does not permit the deduction of non-current financial assets from debt), amounts to €42,468 million as at 31 December 2018 (€11,812 million as at 31 December 2017).
"Net cash from operating activities" amounts to €2,943 million for 2018, an increase of €527 million compared with 2017 (€2,416 million). This primarily reflects the following:
"Cash used for investment in non-financial assets" amounts to €34,012 million (an inflow of €842 million in 2017), primarily due to:
The figure for 2017 primarily regarded the proceeds from the sales of 11.94% of Autostrade per l'Italia and 12.50% of Azzurra Aeroporti (totalling €1,870 million), and the sale of the investment in SAVE (€221 million), in part offset by capital expenditure, totalling €1,076 million.
"Net equity cash outflows" amount to €2,615 million and primarily reflect the contributions of Abertis HoldCo's non-controlling shareholders, amounting to €3,455 million, partly offset by dividends declared by Atlantia (€532 million) and dividends declared by other Atlantia Group companies and payable to non-controlling shareholders (€235 million). The corresponding outflow in 2017, totalling €1,212 million, primarily included dividends declared (€1,052 million), the return of capital to noncontrolling shareholders by the Chilean holding company, Grupo Costanera (€93 million) and the cost of Atlantia's purchase of treasury shares (€84 million).
There was also a reduction in net debt of €19 million in 2018, essentially due to an increase in fair value losses on hedging instruments, reflecting a reduction in interest rates during the period, partially offset by financial income recognised as an increase in financial assets and movements in exchange rates. There was a reduction of €135 million in net debt in 2017, linked primarily to the reduction in fair value losses on hedging derivatives and financial income recognised as an increase in financial assets.
The overall impact of the above cash flows has resulted in an increase in net debt of €28,435 million in 2018, compared with a decrease of €2,181 million recorded in 2017.

The following section presents a number of ("adjusted") alternative performance indicators, calculated by stripping out, from the corresponding reported alternative performance indicators in the reclassified consolidated income statement and the reclassified consolidated statement of financial position (reported alternative performance indicators), the impact of application of the "financial model", introduced by IFRIC 12, by the Atlantia Group's operators who apply this model. The following statement presents adjustments to gross operating profit (EBITDA), operating cash flow and net debt deriving from the specific nature of concession arrangements entered into with the grantors of the concessions held by certain operators, under which the operators have an unconditional right to receive contractually guaranteed cash payments regardless of the extent to which the public uses the service. This right is accounted for in "financial assets deriving from concession rights" in the statement of financial position. Following consolidation of the Abertis group from the end of October 2018, the adjustments to gross operating profit (EBITDA), operating cash flow and net debt also include amounts attributable to certain Chilean and Argentine operators that are part of the Abertis group and whose concession arrangements contain provisions similar to those described above.
The adjusted alternative performance indicators are presented with the sole aim of enabling analysts and the rating agencies to assess the Atlantia Group's results of operations and financial position using the basis of presentation normally adopted by them.
The adjustments applied to the alternative performance indicators based on reported amounts regard:

The following pro forma disclosure is provided in order to present the material effects of the acquisition of the Abertis group, as described in the "Introduction", on Atlantia's reclassified consolidated income statement down to "Gross operating profit" (EBITDA), had the transactions been effective from 1 January 2018, rather than from the end of October 2018.
In particular, as noted above in the "Introduction", the acquisition of Abertis was completed via:
As permitted by IFRS 3, the provisional fair values of the Abertis group's assets and liabilities have been recognised in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, recognising in full the difference between the purchase cost and the net assets acquired in goodwill (€16,774 million). Once the process of confirming the fair values of the Abertis group's assets and liabilities has been completed, which will take place within twelve months of the acquisition date, as required by IFRS 3, the Abertis group's contribution to the operating results and financial position reported in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 will be redetermined.
To facilitate a correct interpretation of the information provided in the pro forma consolidated income statement, the following should be taken into account:

g) the accounting information for Abertis group companies used in the preparation of this pro forma disclosure has been prepared applying the same accounting standards and policies used in computing "Gross operating profit" (EBITDA) as those applied by the Atlantia Group following the decision to standardise the basis of accounting and presentation used for financial reporting purposes (GAAP analysis). This approach as adopted following completion of the acquisition.

(1) Gross operating profit (EBITDA) for 2018 reflects the operating costs and provisions recognised following the collapse of a portion of the Polcevera road bridge in Genoa, amounting to €513 million (as described in the section, "Like-for-like financial indicators"). After stripping out this factor, the Atlantia Group's pro forma EBITDA for 2018 amounts to €7,307 million.
This financial review includes and analyses the reclassified income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of changes in net debt of Atlantia SpA (the "Company") for the year ended 31 December 2018, in which amounts are compared with those of the previous year. The review also includes and analyses the reclassified statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, compared with comparative amounts as at 31 December 2017.
The financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 have been prepared in compliance with the international financial reporting standards (IFRS) endorsed by the European Commission and in effect as at 31 December 2018.
Compared with the accounting standards used in the preparation of the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017, the Company has, from 1 January 2018, adopted IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers and IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, although the new standards have not had a material impact on the Company's accounts.
In March 2018, the Company acquired a 100% interest in Aero I Global & International Sàrl ("Aero 1"), for a price of €1,056 million, in addition to certain loans and receivables (subsequently converted into equity) due from this company. Aero 1 is the Luxembourg-registered investment vehicle that holds a 15.49% interest (and 26.64% of the voting rights) in Getlink SE, the company that holds the concession to operate the undersea link between France and the United Kingdom.
The acquisition of control of Abertis group Infraestructuras ("Abertis" was completed in October 2018, in partnership with ACS, Actividades de Construcción y Servicios ("ACS") and Hochtief Aktiengesellschaft ("Hochtief"). The operating costs relating to consultants' fees incurred by Atlantia in 2017 (amounting to €32 million in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017), in relation to the voluntary public tender offer, in cash and/or shares, for the entire issued capital of Abertis Infraestructuras SA ("Atlantia's public tender offer"), have been recognised in the income statement for 2018, following the conclusion of the joint investment agreement and, as a result, the withdrawal of Atlantia's public tender offer. Together with these costs, further charges of €22 million were recognised in 2018 in relation to both the previous and the new structure of the transaction.
Following completion of the transaction, the Company has also recognised its interests in Abertis HoldCo (50% + 1 share), the investment vehicle established for the purpose subscribing for new shares issued as part of the transaction, and in Hochtief (23.86%). The related amounts as at 31 December 2018 are €3,383 million and €1,984 million, respectively.
Further details of acquisitions in 2018 are provided in note 4, "Acquisitions and corporate actions during the year" in the section of the Annual Report, "Financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018".
The Company did not enter into non-recurring, atypical or unusual transactions, either with third or related parties, having a material impact on the Company's accounts in 2018.
The reconciliation of the reclassified financial statements included and analysed in this section with the corresponding statutory financial statements is provided in the section "Reconciliation of Atlantia SpA's reclassified and statutory financial statements".
As in the comparative period, "Operating revenue" for 2018 amounts to €3 million and primarily consists of rental income, revenue from intra-group services and cost recoveries from subsidiaries. "Net operating costs" for 2018 amount to €100 million, up €45 million on 2017, primarily due to a combination of the following:
The "Gross operating loss" (negative EBITDA) amounts to €97 million for 2018 (a loss of €52 million in 2017).
"Dividends received from investee companies" amount to €861 million, compared with €1,800 million in 2017, when the figure essentially benefitted the distribution, in January 2017, of a special dividend in kind by Autostrade per l'Italia, via the transfer, based on the related carrying amounts, of its entire interests in Autostrade dell'Atlantico and Autostrade Indian Infrastructure Development, amounting to €754 million and €1 million, respectively).
After adjusting for this item, the figure is down €184 million, broadly reflecting the combined effect of a reduction in dividends declared by Autostrade per l'Italia (down €255 million, bearing in mind that the company did not declare an interim dividend for 2018) and the distribution of reserves approved by Autostrade dell'Atlantico (€60 million) in December 2018.
"Gains on the sale of investments" in 2017 amount to €1,052 million and primarily related to the above sale of 11.94% of Autostrade per l'Italia (€1,010 million) and the sale of the entire interest in SAVE (€40 million).
"Net other financial expenses" are negative for an amount of €111 million with an increase of €76 million compared with 2017 (€35 million). This primarily reflects the effect of the costs incurred in 2018 in relation to the acquisition of control of Abertis, regarding:
Current tax benefits amount to €42 million for 2018, reflecting the benefit resulting from the tax loss for the year which, in view of the Company's participation in a tax consolidation arrangement, is fully recoverable. Tax expense for 2017 essentially regarded current tax expense linked to Autostrade per l'Italia's distribution of available reserves and payment of the special dividend in kind (resulting in tax expense for Atlantia of €34 million) and the gain on the sale of interests in Autostrade per l'Italia (€19 million).
"Profit for the year" thus amounts to €695 million for 2018, whilst profit for 2017 (€2,722 million) essentially benefitted, as noted earlier, from the impact of the special dividend in kind and the sale of interests in Autostrade per l'Italia.

The "Total other comprehensive income for the year" in 2018 almost entirely reflects the €427 million (before taxation) represented by fair value losses (between 31 December 2018 and the acquisition date) on the investment in Hochtief following designation of the investment, in accordance with IFRS 9, as an equity instrument to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. These fair value losses were measured on the basis of the price of the company's shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange at the end of the year, was largely reversed in early 2019.
The fair value measurement of cash flow hedges in 2018 resulted in a loss of €60 million before the related taxation. This was essentially due to the recognition of fair value losses (€48 million) on the Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps entered into in March 2018, and an increase in fair value losses (€14 million) on the Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps entered into in June 2017. These changes broadly reflect the decline in interest rates over 2018.
As a result, comprehensive income for 2018 amounts to €231 million (€2,724 million for 2017).
"Non-current non-financial assets" of €16,110 million are up €6,372 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€9,738 million). This essentially reflects:
Positive "Working capital" of €35 million is up €104 million compared with the negative amount of €69 million as at 31 December 2017. This essentially reflects taxation (€103 million) broadly linked to the settlement of tax expense for 2017 (€40 million) and the payment on account for 2018 (€17 million), as well as the recognition of current tax assets (€42 million), primarily on the tax loss for the year.
"Non-current non-financial liabilities" amount to €3 million, down €17 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€20 million). This broadly relates to the offset resulting from the recognition of deferred tax assets linked to the measurement of hedging derivatives (€18 million).
As a result, "Net invested capital" of €16,142 million, an increase of €6,493 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€9,649 million).

| 2017 (€11,503 million).

As at 31 December 2018, net debt amounts to a €4,939 million, compared with net funds of €1,854 million as at 31 December 2017. This is a change of €6,793 million, essentially reflecting the investments in Abertis HoldCo, Hochtief and Aero 1 (€6,926 million) referred to above.
Non-current net debt, amounting to €4,438 million, is up €3,323 million compared with 31 December 2017 (€1,115 million). This essentially reflects the two new Term Loans (with a total face value of €3,250 million) obtained to finance the acquisition of control of Abertis.
Current net debt amounts to €501 million, marking a change of €3,470 million compared with net funds of €2,969 million as at 31 December 2017. This broadly reflects the purchase of the above investments, consisting of the cost not financed through the new Term Loans, which was covered through the use of
existing liquidity and the partial drawdown (€675 million) of the Revolving Credit Facility (obtained in July 2018).
The residual weighted average term to maturity of the Company's debt is approximately 5 years and 1 month as at 31 December 2018. 30.8% of the Company's debt is fixed rate. After taking into account hedges, fixed rate debt accounts for 83.7% of the total.
The average cost of medium/long-term borrowings in 2018 was approximately 1.7%.
Following Atlantia's withdrawal of its public tender offer, on 13 April 2018, the Company cancelled the acquisition financing provided by its banks in May 2017, amounting to €14,700 million (already reduced to €11,648 million in 2017).
In 2018, the Company signed the following loan agreements providing committed lines of credit of up to €4,500 million. These break down as follows:
The two Term Loans were earmarked to finance the investment in Abertis and were drawn down in full in September 2018, at the same time as a portion of the Revolving facility was used (€675 million).
Finally, on 12 October 2018, Atlantia obtained a further revolving facility (unused as at 31 December 2018) for general corporate purposes, amounting to €2,000 million. This facility has a duration of 18.5 months (extendable for up to 36 months at Atlantia's discretion).
"Cash generated from operating activities" amounts to €573 million for 2018, down €386 million on the corresponding figure for 2017 (€959 million). This essentially reflects:
"Net cash used for investment in non-financial assets", amounting to €6,791 million, primarily regards outflows relating to the subscription for shares issued by Abertis HoldCo (€3,459 million), and the acquisition of shares in Hochtief (€2,411 million) and Aero 1 Global & International (€1,056 million). In contrast, net cash from investment in non-financial assets in 2017 (amounting to €2,895 million) benefitted from the proceeds from Autostrade per l'Italia's distribution of a portion of its available reserves (€1,101 million) and proceeds from the sale of interests in the same subsidiary (€1,733 million), in Azzurra Aeroporti (€136 million) and in SAVE (€221 million).
"Net equity cash outflows" amounted to €531 million in 2018, mainly reflecting payment of the final dividend for 2017.
In 2017, net equity cash outflows essentially reflected payment to shareholders of the final dividend for 2016 (€433 million) and of the interim for 2017 (€466 million), and the outflow relating to the purchase of treasury shares (€84 million), as part of the programme announced by the Company in December 2016.
As a result of the above cash flows, together with the change in the fair value of hedging instruments described in the section, "Results of operations", and other minor changes, net debt is up €6,793 million as at 31 December 2018, compared with an improvement in the financial position of €2,885 million in 2017.

The Atlantia Group's operating segments are identified based on the information provided to and analysed by Atlantia's Board of Directors, which represents the Group's chief operating decision maker, when taking decisions regarding the allocation of resources and assessing performance. In particular, the Board of Directors assesses the performance of the business in terms of business segment and geographical area.
Following the consolidation of Abertis Infraestructuras from the end of October 2018, and bearing in mind the acquired company's partial contribution for 2018, it was decided to present the above group as a single operating segment. In addition to the companies controlled by Abertis Infraestructuras (the company that directly or indirectly owns Spanish, French, Chilean, Brazilian, Argentine, Puerto Rican and Indian motorway operators, and the remaining companies that produce and operate tolling systems), this segment also includes the investment vehicles used in the acquisition (Abertis Participaciones and Abertis HoldCo). As a result, the Atlantia Group's new structure presents information for six main operating segments (Italian motorways, overseas motorways, Italian airports, overseas airports, the Abertis group and a specific operating segment that brings together the Parent Company, Atlantia, and the other remaining activities).
The composition of the Atlantia Group's operating segments as at 31 December 2018 is as follows:

(2) Application of the new accounting standard, IFRS 15 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers, from 1 January 2018, has resulted in the different classification of certain types of contract in operating revenue and costs. In particular, operating revenue and costs have been reduced by €7 million, with no impact on EBITDA.
"Operating revenue" of €4,004 million in 2018 is up €63 million (2%) compared with 2017 (€3,941 million).
"Toll revenue" of €3,658 million is up €68 million (2%) compared with 2017 (€3,590 million), primarily due to the following:
Autostrade per l'Italia's decision to exempt road users in the Genoa area from the payment of tolls resulted in an estimated reduction in toll revenue of approximately €7 million.
EBITDA for the Italian motorways segment in 2018 amounts to €1,991 million, a decline of €459 million (19%) compared with 2017 (€2,450 million).
The primarily reflects:
Traffic on the motorway network operated by Autostrade per l'Italia and its subsidiaries is up 0.2% in 2018 compared with the previous year. The number of kilometres travelled by vehicles with 2 axles is down 0.2%, whilst the figure for those with 3 or more axles is up 2.3%.
The performance for 2018, compared with 2017, reflects the negative impact of the heavy snowfall seen between the end of February and early March 2018. After stripping out this factor, traffic on Autostrade per l'Italia's network in 2018 is up 0.5%.

From 1 January 2018, Autostrade per l'Italia applied an overall toll increase of 1.51%, including 0.49% as the inflation-linked component, 0.64% to provide a return capital expenditure via the "X" tariff component and -0.04% to provide a return on investment via the "K" tariff component (the shortfall in the increase awarded for 2017 was recouped almost in full for both these components) and 0.43% to recover the reduction in revenue earned in the period from June 2014 to December 2017 as a result of the discounted tolls for frequent motorway users, introduced by the Memorandum of Understanding entered into with the Ministry.
Regarding the shortfall in the increase with respect to the requested amount, equal to 0.01% (relating to the "X" component), the Grantor, following submission of additional documentation by Autostrade per l'Italia on 12 March 2018, deemed that the request was largely warranted, and therefore to be taken into account when determining the toll increase for 2019. Application of the remaining amounts was suspended, pending an update of the financial plan.
Information on the toll increases applied by the Group's other motorway operators is provided in the section, "Significant regulatory aspects".
Autostrade per l'Italia is in the process of implementing a programme of investment in major infrastructure projects under the original Agreement of 1997 and the IV Addendum of 2002, totalling €15.8 billion. 10 of the projects have been completed as at 31 December 2018, with the opening to traffic of 432 km of new lanes.
The purpose of this investment is to increase the capacity of the existing motorway network on the country's principal arteries, in order to improve traffic flow, road safety and service quality. In addition to the above programme, Autostrade per l'Italia's new Single Concession Arrangement of 2007 also envisages further investment totalling €7 billion, via:

The value of works under the Arrangement of 1997 is net of an amount included in "Other investment".
(2) Excludes capitalised costs (financial expenses and staff costs).
(3) At the end of 2016, in accordance with the Grantor, following an integrated assessment of transport needs and competitiveness, 8 upgrade projects were identified as being "priority" in nature. The upgrades regard approximately 150 km of Autostrade per l'Italia's network and will cost approximately €2.4 billion to carry out.
Autostrade Meridionali and Raccordo Autostradale Valle d'Aosta have completed their planned investment in major works under their respective concession arrangements.
Autostrada Tirrenica opened the new section of motorway between Civitavecchia and Tarquinia to traffic in 2016. Completion of the remaining section from Tarquinia to Livorno is still at the planning stage and, at the end of 2017, a related financial plan was sent to the Grantor for initial examination. In line with the conclusions of the project review of the plan to complete the road running down the Thyrrenian coast (the "Thyrrenian corridor"), conducted by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, Autostrada Tirrenica is only to be responsible for construction of the section from Tarquinia to Ansedonia, plus an extra-urban link road between Ansedonia and Orbetello Scalo (amounting to a total estimated investment of approximately €0.6 billion). This plan is subject to fulfilment of the related technical and financial conditions and receipt of the necessary consents, to be verified together with execution of a memorandum of understanding and an addendum to the Concession Arrangement, which is to include a viable financial plan.
Autostrade per l'Italia and the Group's other Italian operators invested a total of €592 million in 2018.

With regard to the works envisaged in the Agreement of 1997, work continued in 2018 on widening the A1 between Barberino and Florence North to three lanes, with mechanical boring of the Santa Lucia Tunnel currently under way alongside the existing motorway – and between Florence South and Incisa, where work is in progress on Lot 1 North.
Work is also continuing on completion of off carriageway works for the Variante di Valico and the Florence North-Florence South section.
In terms of the works contained in the IV Addendum of 2002, work continued on construction of link roads serving the Municipality of Fano, connected with the widening of the A14 motorway to three lanes, previously opened to traffic.
With regard to the new road and motorway system serving Genoa (the so-called "Gronda di Genova"), the related detailed designs for all the 10 lots forming the project were submitted to the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport between February and August 2018. Preparations for the start-up of work are in progress whilst awaiting approval of the designs.
Autostrade per l'Italia's other capital expenditure includes approximately €51 million invested in major works, primarily construction of the fourth free-flow lane for the A4 in the Milan area, improvements to feeder roads for the Tuscan stretch of the A1 and work on the design for the new Bologna Interchange. This amount also includes disbursements provided for in agreements reached with local authorities in order to fund work on feeder roads forming part of the ordinary road network.

The value of works under the Arrangement of 1997 is net of an amount included in "Other investment". (b) Excludes capitalised costs (financial expenses and staff costs).
(c) The concession held by Autostrade Meridionali expired on 31 December 2012. As requested by the Grantor, from 1 January 2013 the company has continued to be responsible for day-to-day operation of the motorway, including completion of the investment plan, whilst awaiting the transfer of the concession to the new operator subject to inclusion of the related costs in the value of its takeover right.
(1) Includes construction of the Modena Ring Road, a work requested by local authorities and awaiting approval from the Services Conference.
(4) Work on the Barberino-Florence North section is in progress; the executive design for lot 2B + 1 South of the Florence South-Incisa section was approved in August 2018 and the tender procedure is in progress, whilst work on lot 1 North is in progress.
(5) Work on lot 1 is close to completion and work on lot 2 is in progress.
(6) The portion of the works completed relates to design of the Genoa Bypass and construction of the San Benigno Interchange.
The overseas motorways segment, not including the operators forming part of the Abertis group, generated operating revenue of €626 million in 2018, down €22 million (3%) compared with 2017 and reflecting the impact of the sharp fall in the value of the Brazilian real1 2. At constant exchange rates, operating revenue is up €37 million (6%), primarily reflecting toll increases and movements in traffic, albeit the Brazilian performance was impacted by the truck drivers' strike of May 2018 and the federal government's subsequent decision to extend the exemption from tolls for vehicles with raised axles to the State of Sao Paul23. EBITDA of €457 million for 2018 is down €23 million (5%) compared with 2017. On a like-for-like basis, EBITDA is up €16 million (3%).
The financial and operating performance is broken down by country below.


Chilean operators' total operating revenue for 2018 amounts to €329 million, down €9 million (3%) compared with 2017. At constant exchange rates, revenue is in line with 2017, in that traffic growth and the toll increases applied from January 2018 were offset by reduced intragroup turnover at the in-house construction company, Gesvial, following completion of the principal works included in Costanera Norte's Santiago Centro Oriente upgrade programme. After stripping out the impact of this factor, revenue is up €26 million.
EBITDA of €229 million is up €6 million (3%) compared with 2017. At constant exchange rates, EBITDA is up €14 million (6%).
(2) The lost revenue resulting from the exemption of vehicles with raised axles in the State of Sao Paulo from the payment of tolls will be compensated for in accordance with the related concession arrangements.

(1) The Brazilian real has fallen by approximately 16% using the average exchange rates for the two comparative periods.

The Chilean operators recorded traffic growth of 4.6% in 2018 compared with the previous year, measured in terms of kilometres travelled.
The Chilean operators invested a total of €32 million in 2018. In this regard:
Operating revenue for 2018 amounts to €265 million, down €45 million (15%) compared with 2017, reflecting the impact of the sharp fall in the value of the Brazilian real4 5. At constant exchange rates, operating revenue is up €8 million (3%). The increase in toll revenue benefitted from annual toll increases, partly offset by the impact on traffic of the truck drivers' strike of May 2018 and the federal government's subsequent decision to extend the exemption from tolls for vehicles with raised axles to the State of Sao Paulo with effect from 31 May 2018. Operators will be compensated for the lost revenue in accordance with their existing concession arrangements.
EBITDA of €163 million is down €36 million (18%) compared with 2017. At constant exchange rates and after adjusting for the change in the discount rates applied to provisions, EBITDA is down €1 million (1%) after an increase in maintenance costs, covered by the release of provisions.

Traffic performance
The operator, Stalexport Autostrada Malopolska, registered traffic growth of 5.2% in 2018, measured in terms of kilometres travelled.
Capital expenditure during 2018 totals €7 million and primarily regards the modernisation of drainage systems and the installation of noise barriers.
The Italian airports business generated operating revenue of €935 million in 2018, an increase of €41 million (5%) compared with the previous year.
Aviation revenue of €667 million is up €33 million (5%) compared with 2017, primarily reflecting the greater volume of traffic registered in 2018 (up 4.2%).
Other operating income totals €268 million. The increase of €8 million (3%) compared with the previous year is primarily due to the positive performance of non-aviation revenue across all lines of business, in addition to the positive performance of revenue from the sub-concession of space, partially offset by a reduction in other non-recurring income.
EBITDA of €580 million is up €32 million (6%) compared with the previous year, thanks to the above revenue growth, only partially offset by increases in maintenance costs and concession fees, the latter linked to the increase in traffic compared with the previous year.
The Roman airport system handled 49 million passengers in 2018, including 43 million who used Fiumicino airport, marking an increase of 4.2% compared with 2017.
The EU segment, which accounts for 50% of total traffic, is up 1.6%, whilst the Non-EU segment is up 14.1%, primarily due to long-haul flights.
This reflects the following performance by geographical area:
Finally, the Domestic segment is in line with 2017.


Aeroporti di Roma continues to be committed to the construction of new infrastructure for Leonardo da Vinci airport, with the aim of ensuring sufficient capacity to meet future demand and achieving continuous improvements in the level of service offered to passengers.
By 2021, the airport's capacity is expected to be in excess of 50 million passengers a year, in line with other major European airports. In addition to upgrading airside infrastructure, the investment plan is focusing on expansion of the various terminals.
Major infrastructure works in the Eastern area have been planned for the coming years (primarily for domestic and Schengen flights). This will include:


Capital expenditure totalled €183 million in 2018. At Fiumicino airport, as part of plans to upgrade the Eastern area, work continued on the new boarding area A and on a new wing for Terminal 1, whilst the relocation of the power plants and networks previously located in the former Terminal 2 was completed. The latter terminal was then demolished, with its footprint to be occupied by the westward extension of Terminal 1.
Work on the aircraft aprons for the western area (phase 2) for the Piazzali 300 ("300 Aprons") project continued, as did work on flood defences for the western area. Work on the new transformer substation (HV/MV) and on the new electricity system serving the runways is also ongoing. € M 2018 2017 % change

The Group's overseas airports segment generated operating revenue of €305 million in 2018, up €24 million (9%) compared with the previous year. Aviation revenue, primarily consisting of fees and airport tax earned by the airports of Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez, in addition to the contribution from the Sky Valet FBO network, amounts to €167 million, marking an increase of €8 million compared with 2017. This reflect strong growth in traffic (up 4.1%) and in general aviation movements (up 1.1%). Other operating income of €138 million is up €16 million compared with 2017, reflecting the positive performance of retail and parking revenue and of other non-aviation revenue (including €5 million in one-off items relating to the impact of the sale of an area belonging to Nice airport under agreements regarding the exchange of land in relation to property development schemes). EBITDA of €139 million is up €18 million compared with 2017.
Nice airport handled 13.9 million passengers in 2018, marking an increase of 4.1% compared with the previous year. In terms of general aviation, movements were up 1.1% 1 6.

Breakdown of traffic using Nice airport in 2018 (millions of pax and change 2018 vs 2017)
The Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group's capital expenditure amounts to €67 million for 2018, including €48 million on initiatives designed to expand capacity. This primarily regarded improvements to aircraft aprons and to terminal capacity. New land was also purchased to be developed for real estate purposes and for a fuel farm. A further €3 million was invested in construction of a tram line providing access to Nice airport (opened in December 2018) and €2 million in airport security.
(1) The figures refer to the airports of Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez.

Telepass, the company responsible for operating electronic tolling systems in Italy and overseas, and the supplier of other transport-related payment systems (car parks, restricted traffic zones, etc.) and insurance services (breakdown cover in Italy and Europe, travel insurance), generated operating revenue of €188 million in 2018, marking an increase of €16 million compared with 2017. This primarily consists of Telepass fees of €116 million, Viacard subscription fees of €21 million and payments for Premium services of €27 million.
The company's EBITDA for 2018 is €111 million, marking an increase of €13 million compared with the previous year.
As at 31 December 2018, there are a total of 8.6 million active Telepass devices in circulation (an increase of approximately 342,000 compared with 31 December 2017), whilst the number of Telepass devices distributed totals 10.2 million. The number of subscribers of the Premium Option totals 2.1 million (around 56,000 more than as at 31 December 2017).
Telepass Pay, established in November 2016 and a wholly owned subsidiary of Telepass SpA, was set up to expand the offering of payment services linked to both urban and inter-city transport. As at 31 December 2018, the company has 303,000 active customers.
The Telepass group's scope of consolidation also includes Urban Next, a company incorporated under Swiss law that develops software and applications relating to urban transport, and K-Master, which operates monitoring and management systems for truck fleets via a computer platform and various dedicated software applications.
Finally, during the year, Telepass acquired a 100% interest in K-Master Broker (which, on 30 May 2018, changed its name to "Telepass Broker"), an insurance broker, in addition to a 75% interest in Infoblu, previously held by Autostrade per l'Italia.
The company operates primarily in Italy, providing the Group with motorway and airport maintenance services, and carries out major infrastructure works for the Group and external customers. Operating revenue for 2018 amounts to €293 million, down approximately €104 million on 2017. This primarily reflects a reduction in new work from Autostrade per l'Italia. EBITDA totals €1 million (€48 million in 2017), reflecting a slowdown across all areas of operation.
Both years benefitted from the positive impact of the settlements reached with Autostrade per l'Italia regarding contracts for the Barberino-Florence North section of motorway.
Spea Engineering operates in Italy and overseas, supplying engineering services involved in the design, project management and controls connected to the upgrade and maintenance of motorway and airport infrastructure.
Operating revenue for 2018 amounts to €108 million, marking a reduction of €2 million compared with 2017, linked to a reduction in work on motorway projects, above all in project management due to the completion of works, and a slowdown in airport contracts.
Negative EBITDA for 2018 amounts to €0.2 million, down €14 million compared with 2017, partly due to reduced margins on motorway design work and the costs incurred following the events of 14 August 2018, relating to the Polcevera road bridge.
Electronic Transaction Consultants (ETC) operates in the USA as a provider of systems integration, maintenance and support services in the field of free-flow electronic tolling systems, including in combination with traditional methods of tolling (cash and cards).
ETC generated operating revenue of €65 million in 2018, up €5 million compared with 2017. EBITDA of €8 million is up €3 million on the figure for 2017.
As indicated in the "Introduction" to the "Financial review for the Atlantia Group", the Abertis group's results for 2018 have been consolidated on a line-by-line basis for the last two months of the year.
The Abertis group's contribution to the Atlantia Group's results amounts to €827 million in terms of revenue and €550 million in terms of EBITDA.

This section reports on the Abertis group's key performance indicators for full year 2018, as derived from financial reports published by Abertis Infraestructuras.
Total operating revenue for 2018 amounts to €5,255 million, slightly down on 2017 (0.3%). This is due primarily to currency weakness (the Brazilian real, the Chilean peso, the Argentine peso and the US dollar) and deconsolidation of the operator, Vianorte, in Brazil following the expiry of the concession in May 2018. These effects are partially offset by positive operating performances, which benefitted from increased tolls, consolidation of the concessions acquired in India and non-recurring revenue of €78 million due to the accounting effects of the agreements entered into with the Argentine government in July 2018 with regard to the Ausol and GCO concessions which, among other things, have resulted in application of the financial model in accordance with IFRIC 12 in place of the previous intangible model1 7. On a like-for-like basis, revenue is up 5.3%.

The Group's innovation, research and development activities aim to offer innovative, technologically advanced solutions designed to improve service quality and infrastructure efficiency, and minimise the impacts of the Group's activities right from the start of the design process.
These activities, some of which are long-term in nature, are undertaken by Group companies, sometimes in collaboration with national and international research centres and universities. Numerous projects were carried out in 2018, some of which were co-financed at EU and national level.
The main activities carried out in 2018 include:
EU-funded projects include the following:
participation in European programmes for the development and application of ITS-based services (information for road users, traffic management, freight transport and logistics services) needed in order to achieve European objectives relating to the safety and environmental impact of transport and mobility;

participation in the REETS project, regarding implementation of a Regional European Electronic Toll Service, involving development of the systems necessary to collect tolls using satellite technology in Belgium and Germany.
Group companies' total expenditure on innovation, research and development in 2018 amounts to €26 million. This sum represents the total amount spent by the Group on research and development, including operating costs, staff costs and capital expenditure.
As at 31 December 2018, the Atlantia Group employs 29,090 staff on permanent contracts and 1,813 temporary staff, resulting in a total workforce of 30,903, including 13,388 in Italy and 17,515 overseas. After stripping out the Abertis group's contribution (amounting to 14,307 (1) , including 13,994 on permanent contracts and 313 temporary staff), the figure is down 149 overall compared with the workforce of 16,745 as at 31 December 2017.
After stripping out the Abertis group's contribution, the decrease of 298 in permanent staff as at 31 December 2018, compared with 31 December 2017, primarily reflects events at the following Group companies:
After stripping out the Abertis group's contribution, the increase of 149 in temporary staff as at 31 December 2018, compared with 31 December 2017, is linked primarily to increased requirements at the Italian operators, the Aeroporti di Roma group and at Pavimental.
The average workforce (including agency staff) in 2018, after stripping out the Abertis group's contribution, amounts to 15,806, down 173 compared with 2017 (when the figure was 15,979). This primarily reflects the above factors.
The Abertis group's average workforce in 2018 was 13,8801 .
Information on the performance of staff costs is provided in the "Financial review for the Atlantia Group".
(1) This includes 188 personnel (190 on average) attributable to assets held for sale (the Hispasat group).

DISTRIBUTION OF PERMANENTWORKFORCE BY LENGTH OF SERVICE

(*) These figures refer solely to Atlantia Group companies before the acquisition of the Abertis group.
During 2018, the Group extended its commitment to developing expertise, improving performance, enhancing talent and supporting organisational change.
Regarding initiatives aimed at integrating the Group's people management processes, in 2018 the Group's Human Resources department continued with the process designed to capitalise on the Group's skills base, via intercompany mobility and cross-fertilisation initiatives. These initiatives are designed to:
The Group's succession planning and talent management procedures support career development and organisational development decisions, thus guaranteeing the continuity of the Group's management. To ensure the effectiveness of these processes, the Group has adopted a number of tools:
Initiatives designed to develop the Group's young professionals continued in 2018, with the aim of creating a pool of potential leaders and provide a management pipeline for the mid to long term.
The partnership programme with Italy's major universities and polytechnics, called Atlantia per la Conoscenza (Atlantia for Knowledge), continued. The initiative entails provision of pre-graduate scholarships for the best students enrolled in the final year of master's degree courses, focusing in particular on the faculties of engineering and economics.
Details of remuneration policies are provided in Atlantia's Remuneration Report for 2019 (as approved by the Board of Directors on 7 March 2019) and in the information circulars for the various equity plans, prepared pursuant to art.84-bis, paragraph 1 of the Regulations for Issuers and available for inspection on the Company's website at http://www.atlantia.it/it/corporate-governance/remunerazione.html
At the end of October 2018, the Group successfully completed the acquisition of control of Abertis Infraestructuras, a company that heads a group holding motorway concessions in 14 countries, based on a business model that is very similar to Atlantia's and with human capital management and development policies in line with the Group's principles and practices.
In 2019, the Group will examine potential opportunities for integrating and sharing best practices at global level and/or in the individual countries in which it operates.
The process of finding and selecting personnel to work for the Atlantia Group is designed to attract the best available talent. Among the attributes sought are the ability to deliver excellent results, high potential and cross-functional experience.
The type of recruiting tool or channel used depends on the seniority and the specialist expertise being sought. The Atlantia per la Conoscenza (Atlantia for Knowledge) programme, run by Atlantia, the "Work with us" section of the website, online recruitment databases and partnerships with schools, universities and leading post-graduate programmes are used to attract recent graduates and professionals. The selection process for junior roles involves the examination of CVs sent in by young high-school graduates and individual and group tests aimed at assessing attitude, ability and potential.
The search for senior personnel is handled by head hunters and through social networks, with the selection process being based on individual interviews designed to assess personal characteristics, motivation and technical and specialist knowledge.
Training plays a key role in career development, process innovation and in achieving the Group's business objectives.
A total of 272 thousand hours of training was provided in 2018, in line with the previous year. This involved over 13 thousand participants at a total cost of more than €4.5 million. Approximately 35% of the training hours provided regarded health, safety and the environment.
Management and behavioural training during the year involved the design and implementation of a number of courses focusing on Leadership, the Management of Personnel and Feedback, Change Management and Effective Communication, many employing internal expertise both during the design phase and in order to deliver the courses.
In confirmation of the importance given to the quality of customer services, the Group also renewed its commitment to providing training for Aeroporti di Roma's front-end staff and for motorway personnel.
Specialist training included seminars for engineers and architects, necessary in order to obtain training credits and update professional qualifications, to deepen technical expertise and acquire training in the new Public Tenders Code.
Training was provided in data protection following introduction of the new General Data Protection regulation (GDPR), in corporate responsibility and in the organisational, management and control model, in response to the new offences covered by Legislative Decree 231/01, as amended.
Finally, in 2018, the Group confirmed its commitment to environmental sustainability, with the in-house design and implementation of a Green Expert training programme, with the aim of aligning the environmental knowledge of personnel work in the area of sustainability and sharing this knowledge across the Group.
Organisational developments in 2018 primarily involved a number of extraordinary financial transactions and the resulting changes to the structure of the Group.
In view of the growing importance of the international footprint, Atlantia's organisational structure was expended with the creation of two new departments. These have been set up to coordinate management of the Group's core motorway and airports businesses: the "Motorway Business Coordination" and "Airports Business Coordination" departments have the role of strengthening business control processes and
extending the use of best practices. They also provide reference points for the relevant subsidiaries with regard to performance assessment and pursuit of the Group's growth initiatives. The changed scenario has also led to changes within the Finance department, with the creation of the Finance and Insurance and Corporate Finance and Investor Relations departments. This reflects the growing importance of the Group's debt management and of relations with investors, the rating agencies and the financial markets in general. Organisational changes have also been made to the structure of the various units within the Finance department (Insurance, Administration, Tax, etc). Finally, in addition to routine organisational maintenance, work was also carried out on legal and regulatory compliance initiatives. This regarded data protection (the appointment of a Data Protection Officer and changes to data protection records), changes in relation to Legislative Decree 231/01 (the creation of a 231 Team) and renewal of the Supervisory Board.
In terms of procedures, steps were taken to revise and draw up new procedures and policies in order to more closely regulate internal processes and aspects of compliance (e.g., Sponsorship Management, Management and Protection of the Group's Industrial and Intellectual Property, etc.).
With the intention of renewing its commitment to providing a working environment based on the principles of equality, liberty, dignity and inviolability of the person, during 2018, Atlantia adopted its own Code of Conduct to prevent discrimination and to protect the dignity of women and men within the Group.
In addition, in order to manage the whistleblowing process, Atlantia has put in place a Whistleblowing Policy. This governs the process of receiving, assessing and handling disclosures and the conduct of the related investigations. The Policy has been introduced alongside a digital platform for reporting any illegal activity or irregularities, unlawful behaviour, violations of the 231 Model or of the Code of Ethics, violations of the Anti-corruption Policy, and any other violations of procedures and rules in general.
The Group reached a number of agreements with the labour unions in 2018.
In the Italian motorways segment, the most important primarily regarded renewal of the second level contract, resulting in a new automation programme, the creation of a new job, the "Collector-Toll station operator", key to implementing a new model for managing toll stations and tolling, and the definition of a productivity bonus for 2018.
Agreement was also reached on renewal of the national collective labour agreement for Giove Clear staff. Talks with the unions in the airports sector primarily regarded the following issues:
Atlantia believes that the adoption of environmental sustainability and safety policies represents a strategic investment in the future, considering the environment and people have a key role to play in long-term growth. For this purpose, the Group is committed to safeguarding and continuously improving the environment and the health and safety of its workforce, basing its Integrated Environmental and Safety Management System on the ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS 18001.2007 standards.
Atlantia's Corporate Governance system is based on a collection of rules that are in line with regulatory guidelines and best market practices.
This system is based on Atlantia's Corporate Governance Code, which has been drawn up in accordance with the principles and criteria contained in the Corporate Governance Code for listed companies, which was updated by the Corporate Governance Committee for listed Italian companies in July 2018. In accordance with the current Articles of Association, management of the Company is assigned to the Board of Directors, whilst supervisory functions are the responsibility of the Board of Statutory Auditors and responsibility for auditing the Group's accounts is assigned to the Independent Auditors. Based on the provisions of art. 30 of the Articles of Association, the Chairman represents the Company. Separation of the roles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer means that it is not necessary to appoint a Lead Independent Director.
Based on the provisions of the Company's Corporate Governance Code, the Board of Directors has established the following board committees: the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee and the Internal Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has also appointed the Director, Guiliano Mari, as Director responsible for internal control and risk management. On 18 January 2019, the Company's Board of Directors also set up the Nominations Committee in accordance with the Company's Corporate Governance Code, which was revised on the same date. In implementation of the provisions of Legislative Decree 231/2001, Atlantia has adopted the Organisational, Management and Control Model and has set up a Supervisory Board. Lastly, in compliance with the CONSOB requirements contained in the Regulations for Related Party Transactions (Resolution 17221 of 12 March 2010, as amended), Atlantia set up a Committee of Independent Directors with responsibility for Related Party Transactions – consisting of three independent Directors – and adopted the Procedure for Related Party Transactions, which came into effect from 1 January 2011 and was last revised on 15 December 2017.
In addition to the above Procedure, Atlantia has, among others, adopted the Procedure for Market Announcements, the Procedure for relations with the Independent Auditors, the Procedure for Reporting to the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Code of Conduct for internal dealing, and the Procedure for Reporting to the Ethics Officer.
The Company's governance system is completed by the regulations contained in the Articles of Association and in the General Meeting Regulations.
Edizione Srl, via Sintonia SpA, owns 30.25% of Atlantia, holding a relative majority of the issued capital. Atlantia's Board of Directors – elected by the Annual General Meeting held on 21 April 2016 – is made up mostly of representatives of Sintonia SpA, given that 12 out of 15 were elected from the slate presented by this shareholder. It should also be noted that this shareholder's slate obtained the majority of votes thanks also to the votes of other shareholders attending the meeting.
In this regard, the average attendance of shareholders at the general meetings held by Atlantia in 2016, 2017 and 2018 was representative of approximately 77.77% of the issued capital.
The reader will recall that, on 12 March 2009, Sintonia SA (at that time a Luxembourg-registered company) and Schemaventotto SpA (later merged with and into Sintonia) issued a joint declaration, stating that neither the Company or the Group of which it is the Parent were subject to management and coordination by either of the two companies.
Atlantia is not subject to management and coordination by any third parties. On 19 January 2018, Atlantia adopted regulations governing the exercise of management and coordination, defining the scope and procedures for the exercise of management and coordination of its subsidiaries who are not subject to management and coordination by other Group companies.
The full text of the "Annual report on Corporate Governance and the Ownership Structure", prepared in accordance with indications contained in the format for corporate governance reports formulated by Borsa Italiana, is available in the "Corporate Governance" section of the Company's website at www.atlantia.it.
Alongside the disclosures required by article 2428 of the Italian Civil Code, provided in the Directors' report on operations accompanying the financial statements, the "Sustainability" section of this report only deals with topics relating to the Atlantia Group's environmental responsibility. Other non-financial aspects are dealt with in the Non-financial Statement – Integrated Report for 2018, approved together with this Annual Report and prepared in compliance with Legislative Decree 254/2016. This document is available in the "Sustainability" section of the Company's website at www.atlantia.it. This document does not include information on the non-financial performance of the Abertis group, which will be included in the Non-financial Statement – Integrated Report for 2019.
Environmental responsibility permeates all levels of the organisation and is promoted among all parties the Atlantia Group has dealings with and in all aspects of its business.
During the phases of design, implementation and use of infrastructure, appropriate solutions are identified with the aim of achieving ever higher levels of environmental compatibility. The Group is committed to using and sustainably managing environmental inputs and outputs.
Particularly significant with regard to the use of resources are energy consumption, the production of waste and water usage, the impact of which on the environment is constantly monitored and mitigated.
The Atlantia Group's commitment with regard to energy translates into a long-standing commitment to improving energy efficiency, energy saving and renewable energy production.
This approach also brings benefits in terms of the ability to monitor, manage and contain both direct and indirect CO2 emissions, and more generally in terms of the issue of climate change.
The main sources of energy used by the Atlantia Group are fuel - directly used for heating and air conditioning buildings, plant operation, maintenance equipment, service vehicles and generators - and electricity for powering the various systems and equipment.
The Group consumed 3,473 TJoules of energy in 2018, including electricity, natural gas, LPG, diesel, petrol, ethanol and thermal energy. The figure is up approximately 9.5% compared with the previous year, due primarily to increased consumption of natural gas, which powers the cogeneration plant that serves Fiumicino airport. This plant registered a 17% increase in the quantity of energy produced compared with the previous year in order to meet the airport's growing requirements.
Despite shifts in energy consumption linked to the Atlantia Group's infrastructure investment programmes, as far as day-to-day operations are concerned the aim is to reduce consumption and promote greater efficiency through the following:
Combined production (power, heat and cold) plays an important role within the Atlantia Group, with Fiumicino airport served by a cogeneration plant fuelled by natural gas, which meets almost all the airport's energy needs. Autostrade per l'Italia also has three cogeneration plants at its Rome headquarters and at its Calenzano (FI) data processing centre. 165,963 MWh of electricity and 61,702 MWh of thermal energy was produced in 2018, almost all of which consumed by Fiumicino airport.
The aim of reducing and optimising energy consumption is also pursued via the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency and saving initiatives.
During the year, the photovoltaic plants in operation produced around 11.9 GWh of electricity, with 41% used internally on site. The Group's plants also produced 0.4 GWh of thermal energy, all of which was consumed internally.
Atlantia Group companies continued to implement initiatives related to lighting in 2018, with widespread use of LED technology in both motorway tunnels and at airports, as well as in buildings, saving a total of approximately 8.5 GWh of energy.
In terms of air-conditioning, the automated, flexible management of temperatures at Fiumicino airport enabled the Group to save 7.3 GWh of electricity and 14.2 GWh of thermal energy.
Efforts continued in order to reduce heat dispersion and invest in the modernisation of systems for buildings, with the introduction of more efficient equipment, including chillers and the conversion of boilers from diesel to natural gas.
The airports of Fiumicino, Ciampino and Nice all have energy management systems certified in accordance with the ISO 50001 standard. This enables the airport operators to plan any work to be carried out and investment, and to analyse and monitor energy trends, thanks to a continuously updated action plan, in order to improve overall performance.
With regard to greenhouse gas emissions, in 2018, the Atlantia Group's CO2 equivalent emissions, amounting to 230 thousands tonnes, (Scope 1 + Scope 2) rose 4.5% compared with 2017, although the increase was limited thanks to increased energy efficiency, as reflected in the fact that in the same period consumption rose 9.5%
All the airports operated by the Atlantia Group are also carbon neutral, as confirmed by their accreditation under the Airport Carbon Accreditation scheme set up by ACI Europe
(http://www.airportcarbonaccreditation.org) in order to encourage virtuous behaviours in the effort to combat climate change. Accreditation has been received by both Aeroporti di Roma and Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur for their respective airports.
From 2018, Rome's Ciampino airport was awarded the highest level of certification, "Neutrality", which means that direct and indirect carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2) are offset with carbon credits.
The total amount of waste produced by the Atlantia Group in 2018 amounted to around 3 million tonnes, compared with the 507,000 of 2017. 98.5% of this waste is produced as a result of non-routine work on the motorway network and at Fiumicino airport, which resulted in the production of large quantities of waste consisting of soil and rocks.
All the earth moved was reused on site in accordance with the recovery plans approved by the competent authorities, with 99% of the waste produced being recovered or recycled.
The Group withdrew a total of 4.7 million cubic metres of water in 2018, a 4.7% reduction compared with the previous year. 48% of the total water withdrawn is recycled and reused, for the most part in operations at the airports of Fiumicino and Nice and in the production of bituminous conglomerate.

The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport (the "MIT") and Minister of the Economy and Finance (the "MEF") issued decrees on 29 December 2017, determining toll increases with effect from 1 January 2018. These are as follows:
Autostrada Tirrenica regarding toll increases for 2018. Similar judgements were also handed down on the same date for the years 2014, 2016 and 2017, requiring the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and Minister of the Economy and Finance to review their response to the company's proposals in accordance with legal requirements and the concession arrangement. In addition, in another judgement on the same date, Lazio Regional Administrative Court, in response to the interministerial decree revoking suspension of the toll increase for 2013, ruled that the challenge was inadmissible in the absence of any interest in proceeding, recognising the jurisdiction of the ordinary court system with regard to a decision regarding compensation for the company's lost revenue during the period of the suspension;
e) Tangenziale di Napoli was to apply a toll increase of 4.31%, including recovery of amounts not applied in previous years, compared with the 1.93% requested. This application was granted on the basis of the new financial plan attached to the Addendum, signed digitally on 22 February 2018. This came into effect with the approval of Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and Ministry of the Economy and Finance Decree 131 of 16 March 2018, registered at the Court of Auditors on 23 April 2018.
In the case of Traforo del Monte Bianco, which operates under a different regulatory regime, the Intergovernmental Committee for the Mont Blanc Tunnel gave the go-ahead for a toll increase of 1.09% for 2018. This is based on the average of the inflation rates registered in Italy and France from 1 September 2016 to 31 August 2017, in addition to an extra 0.95% increase determined by the
Committee. From 1 April 2018, the toll for all Euro 3 heavy goods vehicles, of more than 3.5 tonnes, was increased by 5%.
The MIT and MEF issued decrees on 31 December 2018, determining toll increases with effect from 1 January 2019. These are as follows:
In the case of Traforo del Monte Bianco which operates under a different regulatory regime, the Intergovernmental Committee for the Mont Blanc Tunnel awarded a toll increase of 1.78% for 2019. This is based on the average of the inflation rates registered in Italy (1.57%) and France (1.98%), plus 0.95% linked to the extraordinary increase for the Frejus Tunnel and also applied to Traforo del Monte Bianco.
On 15 June 2018, Autostrade per l'Italia submitted a proposal to the Grantor regarding a five-year update of its financial plan, which will subsequently be formalised as an addendum to the current Arrangement.
The Transport Regulator (ART) issued a determination on 20 February 2019, initiating a consultation designed to establish a tariff regime using a consistently applied method based on a price cap mechanism. Rather than establishing the criteria solely to be used in determining the productivity indicator, as provided for in Law Decree 109 of 28 September 2018, converted into Law 130 of 16 November 2018, the regulator's determination proposes to modify the entire tariff regime for motorway concession
arrangements, introducing new criteria for determining the components of tolls. The determination also envisages the application of this new regime not only to motorway operators for which the five-year regulatory period expired after the entry into force of Law Decree 109/2018, and for which the related update has yet to be finalised, but also to operators, such as Autostrade per l'Italia, whose regulatory period expired before the entry into force of the above Law Decree and for which the five-yearly review of the financial plan is still in progress.
The deadline for submitting observations is 29 March 2019, whilst the procedure is scheduled to be completed by 28 June 2019. The Company is considering what legal action to take in order to protect its interests.
In 2012, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport issued a call for tenders for the new concession for the A3 Naples – Pompei – Salerno motorway. On 22 March 2016, the Ministry announced its intention to exclude the two competing bidders, Autostrade Meridionali and Consorzio Stabile SIS, from the tender process. This gave rise to a complex dispute that was finally brought to a close by the Council of State judgement published on 25 February 2019, which upheld the judgement at first instance, confirming both companies' disqualification.
A section of the Polcevera road bridge in Genoa collapsed on 14 August 2018, resulting in the deaths of 43 people. The causes of this tragic incident have yet to be identified at the date of approval of this Annual Report.
On 16 August 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport sent Autostrade per l'Italia a letter of complaint before conducting any form of prior investigation into the causes of the collapse or who was responsible. The letter alleged that the company had committed serious breaches of its contractual obligations regarding routine and extraordinary maintenance and of its obligation to ensure that the road was in good working condition. As a result, the Ministry declared that it was appropriate "to activate the procedures provided for in articles 8, 9 and 9 bisof the Concession Arrangement".
In its response dated 31 August 2018, and in the subsequent letter dated 13 September 2018, Autostrade per l'Italia presented its counterarguments, rejecting the accusation that it had failed to meet its contractual obligations and, in addition, asserting that any decision by the Ministry to activate the procedures provided for in articles 8, 9 and 9 bis of the Concession Arrangement was inadmissible and without effect.
The Inspection Committee appointed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport then published its report on the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge on 25 September 2018. A subsequent letter from Autostrade per l'Italia, dated 5 October 2018, highlighted a number of concerns regarding both procedural aspects and the merits of the Committee's conclusions.
Subsequently, in a letter dated 20 December 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport added further to its letter of complaint and, in accordance with the procedure required under the arrangement, requested the company to provide further counterarguments, specifically in relation to information on aspects regarding the system used to monitor infrastructure and the potential causes of the collapse. The latter gave the company 120 days to respond.
The company believes, in part based on the opinion of leading experts, that communications with the Grantor do not qualify as the initial act in the procedure leading to termination of the concession, in accordance with art. 9 of the Single Concession Arrangement.
In parallel, Law Decree 109 was published on 28 September 2018 and later converted into Law 130 of 16 November 2018. The legislation contains a range of urgent measures for the city of Genoa and:
The company has brought an action before Liguria Regional Administrative Court challenging the legislation contained in Law Decree 109 of 2018 and subsequent implementing measures, without applying for injunctive relief, the Cabinet Office Decree of 4 October 2018 appointing the Special Commissioner, and certain implementing decrees issued by the Commissioner relating to demolition and reconstruction of the bridge and the connected activities, contesting their legality, including from a constitutional viewpoint.
The hearing of 27 February 2019 has been rescheduled for 22 May 2019.
At the same time, Autostrade per l'Italia, in its acknowledged role as the operator, has handed over the sums requested by the Special Commissioner in order to fund the purchase of homes and business premises, and payments on account to the firms contracted to carry out the demolition and reconstruction and project management. The company has also committed to making available the remaining sums requested by the Special Commissioner as the work progresses.
The collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge has resulted in criminal action before the Court of Genoa against 9 Autostrade per l'Italia SpA personnel, including executives and other people employed at the company's Rome headquarters and the relevant area office in Genoa. The action also regards a further 12 employees and managers at SPEA Engineering, the Atlantia Group company contracted to monitor the state of the infrastructure, and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, in relation to offences provided for in articles: 449-434 of the criminal code ("accessory to culpable collapse"); 449-432 of the criminal code ("violation of transport safety regulations aggravated by culpable disaster"); 589-bis, paragraph 1 of the criminal code ("culpable vehicular homicide"); 590-bis, paragraph 1 of the criminal code ("grievous or very grievous bodily harm caused by road traffic violations"); 589, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the criminal code ("culpable homicide resulting from breaches of occupational health and safety regulations"); 590, paragraphs 1, 3 and 4 of the criminal code ("negligent injury resulting from breaches of occupational health and safety regulations").
With specific regard to the last two offences, Autostrade per l'Italia is also under investigation pursuant to art. 25septies of Legislative Decree 231/2001, relating to "Culpable homicide or grievous or very grievous bodily harm resulting from breaches of occupational health and safety regulations".
Subsequently, on 12 September 2018, the preliminary investigating magistrate (Giudice per le Indagini Preliminari) requested a pre-trial hearing to appoint experts to prepare a report on conditions at the disaster scene, to assess the state of repair and maintenance of the infrastructure that did not collapse and
of the parts of the road bridge that did collapse and have yet to be removed, and to identify and reach agreement with the relevant authorities on procedures for the removal of debris and for demolition, so as to preserve the evidence needed for the purposes of the investigation.
The work of the experts began on 2 October 2018 and is still in progress.
At the hearing held on 8 February 2019, the preliminary investigating magistrate upheld the request from the counsel defending Autostrade per l'Italia's personnel to discuss the translated versions of the expert reports prepared by the specially appointed laboratories with the other parties.
At the hearing of 15 February 2019, the preliminary investigating magistrate appointed an interpreter to translate the above expert reports and counsel for the defendants appointed their own technical consultants.
Finally, the preliminary investigating magistrate has scheduled a hearing for 27 March 2019 in order to discuss the expert reports and for 8 April 2019 to receive an update on the work carried out by the experts.
From January 201811, Grupo Costanera's motorway operators applied the following annual toll increases, determined on the basis of their concession arrangements:
From January 2018, the tolls applied by Los Lagos rose 3.4%, reflecting a combination of the increase linked to inflation in 2017 (1.9%) and a further increase in the form of a bonus relating to safety improvements in 2018 (5.0%), less the bonus for safety improvements awarded in 2017 (3.5%). On 9 May 2018, Nororiente finalised an addendum with Chile's Ministry of Public Works regarding implementation of a free flow tolling system to replace the previous manual system, with compensation, at a pre-set rate, for loss of revenue due to toll evasion. Compensation will, at the Ministry's discretion, take the form of a 10-month extension of the concession term or a cash payment at the end of the original concession term. The new free-flow tolling system entered service on 28 July 2018.
From January 201911, Grupo Costanera's motorway operators applied the following annual toll increases, determined on the basis of their concession arrangements:
From January 2018, the tolls applied by Los Lagos were reduced by 0.1%, reflecting a combination of the increase linked to inflation in 2018 (2.8%) and a reduction in the bonus for safety improvements (the bonus of 2.0% for 2019, less the bonus for safety improvements awarded in 2018, amounting to 5.0%).
Grupo Costanera has been awarded the concession for the Américo Vespucio Oriente II project, which regards the construction and operation of a 5-km section of tunnel for the orbital motorway in the city of Santiago, using a free-flow tolling system. The estimated cost of construction is approximately €490 million12 . The concession was awarded in July 2017, while on 5 April 2018 the Supreme Decree awarding the concession, and signed by the President of the Republic of Chile, was published in the Official Gazette, following prior approval by the Chilean Court of Auditors. This date marks the beginning of the concession term, which is linked to the achievement of specific pre-set revenue milestones after discounting to present value. The term may not, in any event, exceed 45 years.
11 From 10 January, in the case of Litoral Central.

Grupo Costanera has also been awarded the concession for the Vial Ruta 78-68 Connection project, involving construction and operation of a new 9.2-km section of urban, free-flow toll motorway in the city of Santiago. The new road will link Ruta 78 with Ruta 68, the two main roads connecting Santiago with the ports of Valparaiso and San Antonio, and will be connected with the section already operated under concession by Costanera Norte. The estimated cost of the project is approximately €210 million12 . The concession was awarded in February 2018, while on 21 April 2018 the Supreme Decree awarding the concession, and signed by the President of the Republic of Chile, was published in the Official Gazette, following prior approval by the Chilean Court of Auditors. This date marks the beginning of the concession term, which is linked to the achievement of specific pre-set revenue milestones after discounting to present value. The term may not, in any event, exceed 45 years.
From 1 July 2018, Triangulo do Sol and Rodovias das Colinas applied their annual toll increase of 2.9% based on the rate of general price inflation in the period between 1 June 2017 and 31 May 2018, as provided for in the respective concession arrangements. This reflects the fact that this figure was lower than the rate of consumer price inflation in the same period (4.3%). The difference will be adjusted for in accordance with the concession arrangement.
From 31 May 2018, the toll exemption for vehicles with raised axles was extended to the State of Sao Paulo. This measure was adopted by the federal government to settle the truck drivers' strike that began on 21 May 2018. The lost income will be adjusted for to compensate the operator.
The tolls applied by the operator, Rodovia MG050, were raised by 2.8% from 13 June 2018, based on the rate of consumer price inflation in the period between 1 May 2017 and 30 April 2018, as provided for in the concession arrangement.
On completion of the consultation with airport users, on 22 December 2017, the Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) announced the airport fees for Fiumicino and Ciampino for the period 1 March 2018 - 28 February 2019. The fees for Fiumicino and Ciampino fell by an average of 0.7% and 4%, respectively, compared with the fees for 201713 . ( 14)
On 7 August 2018, Aeroporti di Roma ("ADR") began a consultation process, involving the users of Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, on the proposed revision of regulated fees for the 2019 annual period (1 March 2019-29 February 2020). The procedure meets existing Italian and EU requirements and is in line with the guidelines in the "Procedure for consultation between airport operators and users for ordinary planning agreements and those in derogation" issued by ENAC on 31 October 2014.
12 Based on the average exchange rate in December 2018.
13 Based on the ratio between the maximum permitted revenue and fee-paying passengers for the twelve months from 1 March.
In order to ensure the maximise the involvement of users, on 10 August 2018, ADR published the information documents setting out the proposed fees for 2019 on its website.
The consultation process came to a conclusion on 5 November 2018. During the process, ADR responded to the observations received from users by the deadlines announced at the beginning of the procedure. On 24 December 2018, having completed its review conducted as part of the tariff revision process for 2019, ENAC announced that it had approved the new airport fees to be applied by the two Rome airports from 1 March 2019. The fees were then published on the authority's website.
The revised fees for the period 1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020 envisage a 1.4% reduction for Fiumicino airport and a 2.2% increase for Ciampino with respect to the fees currently in force 15 . 16
On 2 May 2017, Alitalia – Società Aerea Italiana SpA ("Alitalia") was placed into extraordinary administration.
Law Decree 38 of 27 April 2018 introduced urgent measures modifying the terms of the procedure for selling the industrial assets owned by Alitalia. The Decree extended the deadline for completion of the sale procedures from 30 April 2018, previously set by Law Decree 148/2017 ("Urgent financial measures and measures relating to non-deferrable needs"), until 31 October 2018. As a result, the term for full repayment of the interest-bearing government loan to the company in extraordinary administration, amounting to €900 million, was extended until 15 December 2018.
Art. 2 of Law Decree 135 of 14 December 2018 (the so-called Simplification Decree) then modified the terms of repayment of the government loan to Alitalia, requiring the loan to be repaid within 30 days of the effective date of the sale of the assets in accordance with the procedures set out in art. 50 of Law Decree 50 of 24 April 2017 and, in any event, no later than 30 June 2019.
Finally, the Ministerial Decree of 5 December 2018, regarding "Replacement of the special commissioner for the Alitalia SAI group companies in extraordinary administration", appointed Daniele Discepolo special commissioner, with immediate effect, in place of Luigi Gubitosi.
On 14 July 2018, a decree was published by the French Minister of Transport who, within the scope of the Minister's powers, has established the criteria for determining the fees payable in return for the airport services provided by the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group ("ACA").
Specifically, the decree (i) defines and differentiates the scope of regulated and non-regulated activities (essentially commercial and real estate activities, with the exception of car parks that come under regulated activities), and (ii) establishes a tariff regulation mechanism for activities regulated by a price cap system (plafond tarifaire) linked to inflation, notwithstanding the limit on the allowed return on invested capital. The decree thus establishes a stable and predictable regulatory framework for the period of the airport concession term, which may be reflected both in annual tariff increases and in the context of annual
15 Based on the ratio between the maximum permitted revenue and fee-paying passengers for the twelve months from 1 March.

regulatory agreements lasting five years, which in any event are subject to approval by the Independent Supervisory Authority.
However, in spite of the provisions in the Decree and ACA's submission of a tariff proposal for the period November 2018 – October 2019, in January 2019, the Independent Supervisory Authority refused to endorse the proposed tariffs, adopted the same approach with other French airports. ACA has challenged this refusal before the French Council of State.
Even whilst the challenge is pending, the authority may independently set tariffs for the relevant tariff period, in accordance with the legislation in force. ACA will also have the option of challenging this decision.
In the meantime, and without prejudice to the legal challenge, the authority has entered into a consultation process with ACA, the grantor, France's Civil Aviation Authority and the Users' Committee, based on its own tariff proposal.
In the meantime, the existing tariffs will continue to apply.
Following the withholding of payment by the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority ("MDX") for the on site and office system management and maintenance services provided by ETC, on 28 November 2012 ETC petitioned the Miami Dade County Court in Florida to order MDX to settle unpaid claims and pay any additional costs incurred and damages for breach of contact. In January 2018, the court issued judgement at first instance upholding ETC's claim for breach of contract by MDX, awarding ETC damages of US\$43 million, together with accrued interest of approximately US\$10 million, making a total of approximately US\$53 million, in addition to interest payable until settlement.
The court also awarded ETC costs to cover reasonable legal expenses, amounting to the sum of US\$8 million following an agreement between ETC and MDX.
On 25 April 2018, MDX appealed the above judgement. ETC has until 14 May 2019 to file its defence brief.
On 20 June 2018, MDX also appealed the judgement awarding ETC costs to cover the reasonable legal expenses incurred. ETC has until 21 May 2019 to file its defence brief.
From 1 January 2018, the Spanish operators applied the following annual toll increases, as per the applicable contracts:
From 1 January 2019, the Spanish operators applied the following annual toll increases, as per the applicable contracts:
In February 2018, the French operators raised their rates by 1.4%, to reflect the combined effect of 70% of the 2017 inflation rate (+1.0%), the adjustments related to the recovery of the frozen 2015 toll increases, and the return on the additional investment plan known as "Plan de Investissement Autoroutier" (+0.7%).
In February 2019, the French operators raised their rates by 1.7%, to reflect the combined effect of 70% of the 2018 inflation rate (+1.9%), the adjustments related to the recovery of the frozen 2015 toll increases, and the return on the additional investment plan known as "Plan de Investissement Autoroutier" (+0.3%).
From 1 January 2018, the rates charged by the Italian concession Autostrada A4 - Brescia Padova, under a RAB regime, rose by 2.1%, to reflect the combined effect of the inflation rate (+ 1.7%) and a quality indicator (0.4%).
In 2019, the rates charged by the Italian operator of the A4 - Brescia Padova motorway did not increase. The operator's requests for an increase were not approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, pending the finalisation of the operating and financial plan and on the basis of objections raised in connection with the amount of maintenance expenses. The company, considering the objections groundless, challenged the rejection before Lazio Regional Administrative Court, requesting the suspension of its effectiveness and its annulment.
In 2018, the Abertis group's Chilean operators implemented the following annual toll increases as per the applicable contracts:
In 2019, the Chilean operators implemented the following annual toll increases as per the applicable contracts:
As of 1 July 2018, the rates charged by Centrovias, Autovias and Intervias rose by 2.9%, reflecting the corresponding change of the consumer price inflation in the period between 1 June 2017 – 31 May 2018, as it was lower than the change in the IGP-M in the same period of reference (4.3%), with the difference to be rebalanced financially pursuant to the concession agreement.
Starting from 31 May 2018, the State of Sao Paulo implemented the exemption for heavy vehicles with suspended axles from toll payments, a measure adopted by the federal government to meet the demands of truck drivers, who had starting a protest on 21 May 2018. Operators will be compensated for the loss of revenue.
On 25 January 2019, Via Paulista, which will include the Autovias section, expiring in June 2019, began charging tolls on 3 toll plazas.
The operators of Brazilian federal concessions (ANTT – Agencia Nacional de Transportes) applied the following annual toll increases for 2018:
Until 24 July 2018 the tolls of the GCO and AUSOL concessions included an amount to be paid back to the Authority (RAE). On 2 February 2018, the GCO and AUSOL concessions raised their tolls by 23.7% and 31.6%, respectively, reflecting an effective increase of +36.1% for GCO and 18% for Ausol.
On 24 July 2018, the operators entered into agreements with the grantor whereby the toll component that was previously paid back to the grantor is now kept by the operators to compensate for regulatory imbalances. Accordingly, even though tolls were unchanged for users, the net toll increase was +70% for Ausol and +24% for GCO.
On 5 January 2019, tolls were raised by +38% for both concessions.
The Concessions in Puerto Rico raised their rates on 1 January 2018:
On 1 January 2019:
On 1 September 2018, the Indian operators, JPEL and TTPL, raised their tolls by 2.6%, to reflect the adjustment for producer price inflation.
The operator, Acesa, filed a complaint against the Grantor in relation to the failure by the Grantor to pay sums under Royal Decree 457/2006, which approved the agreement between the Spanish government and the company in relation to the amendments to the terms and conditions of the concession granted to the latter.
The agreement called for, among others, the construction of additional lanes on certain sections of the AP-7 motorway, with implementation of a closed toll system as well as free passage and discounts upon occurrence of certain conditions, as well as Acesa's waiver to request compensation for possible negative impacts on its traffic deriving from the construction of second lanes on parallel roads N-II and CN-340. By contrast, the agreement calls for procedures to calculate the consequent compensation payable to the company upon expiration of the concession.
Based on the provisions of the Royal Decree, compensation that Acesa deems to be payable to it amounts to approximately €2,950 million at the end of 2018.
In light of disputes arising in connection with the method to calculate compensation, Acesa initiated legal proceedings against the Grantor, in June 2015, to have the Court ascertain the correct method to calculate compensation. Following completion of the proceedings, on 6 February 2018, the Council Chamber of the Supreme Court met to adopt a decision on the case. At the date of approval of this Annual report, the decision has not been adopted yet. The Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements for 2018 do not include the receivables associated with the disputed amount of the compensation due to Acesa. The portion of this sum that is not disputed (€890.4 million as at 31 December 2018) has been recognised in the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2011, Aumar requested the Grantor to provide compensation in relation to loss of revenues deriving from the construction of roads parallel to the toll road under concession.
This request for compensation includes the revenue lost by the company for the period 2002-2019 (end of the concession).
In the face of the Grantor's rejection of the request for compensation, Aumar filed several complaints, the last of which was reviewed by the Council Chamber of the Supreme Court on 13 February 2019 for a decision to be handed down shortly.
Even though the company did not recognise any such receivable in its financial statements, the amount requested by the operator amounts to approximately €400 million.
Regarding a dispute related to the obligations assumed under the financial support agreement between Iberpistas and Acesa with the lending banks of the investee, Alazor Inversiones SA (a company undergoing liquidation proceedings), on 22 January 2019, 5 funds deemed to be the current creditors for part of Alazor Inversiones SA's debt, began legal proceedings in order to obtain payment of a total amount of €223.5 million, corresponding to the guarantees provided by the above-mentioned financial support agreement. As described in note 7.14, provisions for risks and charges have been made for this sum as at 31 December 2018.
As at 31 December 2018, Atlantia SpA holds 7,819,488 treasury shares, representing 0.95% of its issued capital. Atlantia does not own, either directly or indirectly through trust companies or proxies, shares or units issued by parent companies. No transactions were carried out during the period involving shares or units issued by parent companies.
During 2018, share grants issued in relation to share-based incentive plans for certain of the Group's managers were converted into a total of 97,336 shares and a total of 65,453 shares were allotted as a result of the exercise of share options.
Atlantia does not operate branch offices. Its administrative headquarters are at Via Bergamini 50, 00159 Rome.
With reference to CONSOB Ruling 2423 of 1993, regarding criminal proceedings or judicial investigations, the Group is not involved in proceedings, other than those described in note 10.7, "Significant legal and regulatory aspects", that may result in charges or potential liabilities with an impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In 2013, a meeting of the Board of Directors elected to apply the exemption provided for by article 70, paragraph 8 and article 71, paragraph 1-bis of the CONSOB Regulations for Issuers (Resolution 11971/99, as amended). The Company will therefore exercise the exemption from disclosure requirements provided for by Annex 3B of the above Regulations in respect of significant mergers, spin-offs, capital increases involving contributions in kind, acquisitions and disposals.
With regard to the requirements of art. 15 of the CONSOB Regulation on Markets, setting out conditions for the listing of shares of parent companies that control companies incorporated under and regulated by the law of countries other than EU Member States, following the inclusion of Abertis Infraestructuras and its subsidiaries in the Atlantia Group's scope of consolidation, requiring application of the above article, from the current year, the Group has adopted the procedures necessary to ensure compliance with the regulation. At the end of 2018, the related requirements apply to the following subsidiaries: Sociedad Concesionaria Autopista Central SA, Sociedad Concesionaria Costanera Norte SA, Sociedad Concesionaria Autopista Nueva Vespucio Sur SA, Rodovias das Colinas SA, AB Concessoes SA and Autopistas Metropolitanas de Puerto Rico LLC.
As required by the regulation in question, information on the above companies is made available to the public at the registered office of the Parent Company, Atlantia.
As reported in other sections of this report on operations and described in note 6.2 in the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 and in note 4.2 in Atlantia's separate financial statements as at the same date, on 29 October 2018, Atlantia, ACS and
Hochtief implemented the agreement signed on 23 March 2018 regarding a joint investment in Abertis Infraestructuras SA ("Abertis").
The parties established Abertis Participaciones SA, a Spanish-registered company that acquired a 98.7% interest in Abertis from Hochtief, and whose issued capital is in turn held by Abertis HoldCo SA, a newly established Spanish-registered company whose shares are held by the following shareholders: Atlantia 50% (plus one share), ACS 30% and Hochtief 20% (less one share).
To acquire 98.7% of Abertis, the parties invested a total of €16.5 billion. This amount was financed by equity of €6.9 billion transferred to Abertis HoldCo, whilst the remaining amount was financed through a an acquisition financing package including an amortising term loan of €3.0 billion (maturing in between 4 and 5 years), a bridge-to-bond facility maturing after 18.5 months, totalling €4.7 billion, and a bridge-to-disposal facility of €2.2 billion (including €1.7 billion that will be repaid with the proceeds from the already completed sale of Abertis's interest and the sale of Hispasat, which is in progress). In accordance with the same agreement, in a separate transaction, Atlantia also acquired a 23.9% interest in Hochtief from ACS at a price of €143.04 per share, making a total outlay of €2.4 billion.
On 12 February 2019, Abertis Infraestructuras, through its subsidiary, Abertis Telecom Satélites, reached agreement with Red Eléctrica for the sale of its 89.7% interest in Hispasat for a consideration of €949 million.
The sale is subject to the suspensively conditional on receipt of clearance from the Spanish government and the Spanish and Portuguese competition and markets authorities and on any other regulatory consent. The transaction is expected to complete by the end of the first half of 2019.
The Group's operating performance leads us to expect positive operating results in 2019 across the Atlantia Group's various operating platforms, with stronger growth in the Group's overseas and airports businesses. The Italian motorway segment is expected to be broadly stable (excluding non-recurring items linked to the collapse of the road bridge in Genoa), despite the fact that the performance of traffic could potentially be affected by the current economic slowdown in Italy.
The potential risks resulting from the letter of complaint sent to Autostrade per l'Italia by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport on 16 August 2018, alleging serious breaches of the Company's contractual obligations in relation to the collapse of the Polcevera road bridge should be taken into account. In its response dated 31 August 2018, Autostrade per l'Italia presented its counterarguments, rejecting the accusation that it had failed to meet its contractual obligations and, in addition, asserting that any decision by the Ministry to activate the procedures provided for in articles 8, 9 and 9 bis of the Concession Arrangement would be inadmissible and without effect.
Subsequently, in a letter dated 20 December 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport added further to its letter of complaint and, in accordance with the procedure required under the arrangement, requested the Company to provide further counterarguments, giving it a period of 120 days to respond.
The process of integrating Abertis will continue during the year. The group will be consolidated for 12 months and the integration will lead to the achievement of synergies that we expect to result in improved operating margins.
Dear Shareholders,
In conclusion, we invite you:
For the Board of Directors
The Chairman
Fabio Cerchiai

The core business of the Atlantia Group is the management of concessions granted by the relevant authorities. Under the related concession arrangements, the Atlantia Group's operators are responsible for the construction, management, improvement and upkeep of motorway and airport infrastructure in Italy and abroad. Further information on the Atlantia Group's concession arrangements is provided in note 4.
The Parent Company is Atlantia SpA ("Atlantia" or the "Company" or the "Parent Company"), a holding company listed on the screen-based trading system (Mercato Telematico Azionario) operated by Borsa Italiana SpA and is, therefore, subject to supervision by the CONSOB (the Commisione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa, Italy's Securities and Exchange Commission).
The Company's registered office is in Rome, at Via Antonio Nibby, 20. The Company does not have branch offices. The duration of the Company is currently until 31 December 2050.
At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements, Sintonia SpA is the shareholder that holds a relative majority of the issued capital of Atlantia SpA. Neither Sintonia SpA nor its direct parent, Edizione Srl, exercise management and coordination of Atlantia SpA.
The consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 were approved by the Board of Directors of Atlantia at its meeting of 7 March 2019.
The consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 are based on the assumption that the Parent and consolidated companies are going concerns. They have been prepared in accordance with articles 2 and 3 of Legislative Decree 38/2005 and in compliance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), in addition to the previous International Accounting Standards (IAS) and interpretations issued by the Standard Interpretations Committee (SIC) and still in force, as endorsed by the European Commission. For the sake of simplicity, all the above standards and interpretations are hereinafter referred to as "IFRS".
Moreover, the measures introduced by the CONSOB, in application of paragraph 3 of article 9 of Legislative Decree 38/2005, relating to the preparation of financial statements, have also been taken into account.
The consolidated financial statements consist of the statement of financial position, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and these notes. The historical cost convention has been applied, with the exception of those items that are required by IFRS to be recognised at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies for individual items described in note 3, "Accounting standards and policies applied". The statement of financial position is based on the format that separately discloses current and non-current assets and liabilities. The income statement is classified by nature of expense. The statement of cash flows has been prepared in application of the indirect method.
IFRS have been applied in accordance with the indications provided in the "Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting", and no events have occurred that would require exemptions pursuant to paragraph 19 of IAS 1.
CONSOB Resolution 15519 of 27 July 2006 requires that, in addition to the specific requirements of IAS 1 and other IFRS, financial statements must, where material, include separate sub-items providing (i)
disclosure of amounts deriving from related parties transactions; and, with regard to income statement, (ii) separate disclosure of income and expenses deriving from events and transactions that are nonrecurring in nature or transactions or events that do not occur on a frequent basis in the normal course of business.
In this regard, it should be noted that:
Finally, in view of the importance of the transaction, it should be noted that the acquisition of control of the Abertis Infraestructuras group was completed during the year. This transaction is described in note 6.2, which provides details of the impact of the transaction on the Atlantia Group's results of operation and financial position.
All amounts are shown in thousands of euros, unless otherwise stated. The euro is both the functional currency of the Parent Company and its principal subsidiaries and the presentation currency for these consolidated financial statements.
Each component of the consolidated financial statements is compared with the corresponding amount for the comparative reporting period. Given their importance, it should also be noted that, from 1 January 2018, the following accounting standards have become effective: IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Further details are provided in note 3 below. In adopting IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments, the Group elected to recognise the impact of retrospective restatement of amounts in equity as at 1 January 2018, without restating the comparative prior-year amounts. In adopting "IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers", the Group opted for retrospective application, restating comparative amounts.
With respect to the information published in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017, the following reclassifications have been carried out in order to improve presentation:
Finally, in order to provide a clearer definition of the line items in the consolidated accounts, the following names have been amended:

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
A description follows of the more important accounting standards and policies used in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018. These accounting standards and policies are consistent with those applied in preparation of the consolidated financial statements for the previous year, with the exception of the changes resulting from first-time adoption, from 1 January 2018, of the new accounting standards, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. A below section of these notes describes the differences between these new standards (described below) with respect to the standards previous applied and the impact of their adoption.
Property, plant and equipment is stated at cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items and financial expenses incurred during construction of the asset. Assets acquired through business combinations prior to 1 January 2004 (the IFRS transition date) are stated at previous amounts, as determined under Italian GAAP for those business combinations and representing deemed cost.
The cost of assets with finite useful lives is systematically depreciated on a straight-line basis applying rates that represent the expected useful life of the asset. Each component of an asset with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item, and that has a different useful life, is accounted for separately. Land, even if undeveloped or annexed to residential and industrial buildings, is not depreciated as it has an indefinite useful life.
Investment property, which is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, is recognised at cost measured in the same manner as property, plant and equipment. The relevant fair value of such assets has also been disclosed.
The bands of annual rates of depreciation used in 2018 are shown in the table below by asset class:
| PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT | RATE OF DEPRECIATION |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 2.5% - 33.33% |
| Plant and machinery | 10% - 33% |
| Industrial and business equipment | 4.5% - 40% |
| Other assets | 8.6% - 33.33% |
Assets acquired under finance leases are initially accounted for as property, plant and equipment, and the underlying liability recorded in the statement of financial position, at an amount equal to the relevant fair value or, if lower, the present value of the minimum payments due under the contract. Lease payments are apportioned between the interest element, which is charged to the income statement as incurred, and the capital element, which is deducted from the financial liability.
Property, plant and equipment is tested for impairment, as described below in the relevant note, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. 3. Consolidated financial statement as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018
Property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal. Any gains or losses (determined as the difference between disposal proceeds, less costs to sell, and the carrying amount of the asset) are recognised in the income statement for the year in which the asset is sold.
Intangible assets are identifiable assets without physical substance, controlled by the entity and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow, and purchased goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are those purchased assets that, unlike goodwill, can be separately distinguished. This condition is normally met when: (i) the intangible asset arises from a legal or contractual right, or (ii) the asset is separable, meaning that it may be sold, transferred, licensed or exchanged, either individually or as an integral part of other assets. The asset is controlled by the entity if the entity has the ability to obtain future economic benefits from the asset and can limit access to it by others.
Internally developed assets are recognised as assets to the extent that: (i) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably; (ii) the Group has the intention, the available financial resources and the technical expertise to complete the asset and either use or sell it; (iii) the Group is able to demonstrate that the asset is capable of generating future economic benefits.
Intangible assets are stated at cost which, apart from concession rights, is determined in the same manner as the cost of property, plant and equipment. The cost of concession rights is recovered in the form of payments received from road users and may include one or more of the following:
Concession rights, on the other hand, are amortised over the concession term in a pattern that reflects the estimated manner in which the economic benefits embodied in the right are consumed. Amortisation rates are, consequently, determined taking, among other things, any significant changes in traffic volumes during the concession term into account. Amortisation is charged from the date on which economic benefits begin to accrue.
In contrast, amortisation of other intangible assets with finite useful lives begins when the asset is ready for use, in relation to their residual useful lives.

The bands of annual rates of amortisation used in 2018 are shown in the table below by asset class:
| INTANGIBLE ASSETS | RATE OF AMORTISATION | |
|---|---|---|
| Concession rights | On the commencement of generation of | |
| economic benefits for the entity, based on the | ||
| residual term of the concession or, when | ||
| significant, traffic projections. | ||
| Development costs | 4.8% - 33.33% | |
| Industrial patents and intellectual property rights | 5% - 55% | |
| Licences and similar rights | 7.7% - 33.33% | |
| Other assets | 3.3% - 33.33% |
Intangible assets are tested for impairment, as described below in the note on "Impairment of assets and reversals (impairment testing)", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable.
Gains and losses on the disposal of intangible assets are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds, less costs to sell, and the carrying amount of the asset and then recognised in profit or loss on disposal.
Acquisitions of companies or business units are accounted for using the acquisition method, as required by IFRS 3. For this purpose, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations are measured at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value, at the date of exchange, of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any equity instruments issued by the Group in exchange for control.
Ancillary costs directly attributable to the business combination are recognised as an expense in the income statement when incurred.
Goodwill is initially measured as the positive difference between the acquisition cost, plus both the fair value at the acquisition date of any previous non-controlling interests held in the acquiree and the value of non-controlling interests held by third parties in the acquiree (at fair value or prorated to the current net asset value of the acquiree), and the fair value of the net assets acquired.
The goodwill, as measured on the date of acquisition, is allocated to each of the substantially independent cash generating units or groups of cash generating units which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination.
A negative difference between the cost of the acquisition, as increased by the above components, and the Group's share in the fair value of net assets is recognised as income in profit or loss in the year of acquisition.
Goodwill on acquisitions of non-controlling interests is included in the carrying amount of the relevant investments.
If the Group is not in possession of all the information necessary to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, these are recognised on a provisional basis in the year in which the business combination is completed and retrospectively adjusted within twelve months of the acquisition date.
After initial recognition, goodwill is no longer amortised and is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, determined as described in the note on impairment testing.
IFRS 3 was not applied retrospectively to acquisitions prior to 1 January 2004, the Parent Company's IFRS transition date. As a result, the carrying amount of goodwill on these acquisitions is that determined under Italian GAAP, which is the net carrying amount at this date, subject to impairment testing and the recognition of any impairment losses.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method. The Group's share of post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in the income statement for the accounting period to which they relate, with the exception of the effects deriving from other changes in the equity of the investee, excluding any owner transactions, when the Group's share is recognised directly in comprehensive income. In addition, when measuring the value of the investment, this method is also used to recognise the fair value of the investee's assets and liabilities and any goodwill, determined with reference to the acquisition date. Such assets and liabilities are subsequently measured in future years on the basis of the standards and accounting policies described in this note.
Provisions are made to cover any losses of an associate or joint venture exceeding the carrying amount of the investment, to the extent that the investor is required to comply with actual or constructive obligations to cover such losses.
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and other companies, which qualify as equity instruments as defined by IFRS 9, are initially accounted for at cost at the settlement date, in that this represents fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
After initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss, with the exception of investments not held for trading and for which, as permitted by IFRS 9, the Group has exercised the option, at the time of purchase, to designate the investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Inventories, primarily consisting of stocks and spare parts used in the maintenance and assembly of plant, are measured at the lower of purchase or conversion costs and net realisable value obtained on their sale in the ordinary course of business. The purchase cost is determined using the weighted average cost method.
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and financial assets and liabilities (as defined by IFRS 9 and including, among other things, trade receivables and payables).
Cash and cash equivalents is recognised at face value. They include highly liquid demand deposits or very short-term instruments subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
All derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value at the end of the year.
As required by IFRS 9I, derivatives are designated as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the hedged item is formally documented and the periodically assessed effectiveness of the hedge is high.
Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges hedging assets and liabilities (including those that are pending and highly likely to arise in the future) are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss. Accumulated changes on fair value taken to the cash flow hedge reserve are reclassified in profit or loss in the year in which the hedging relationship ceases.
Changes in the value of fair value hedged assets or liabilities are recognised in profit or loss for the period. Analogously, the hedged assets and liabilities are restated at fair value through profit or loss. Accordingly, the hedged assets and liabilities are also measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Since derivative contracts deemed net investment hedges in accordance with IFRS 9, because they were concluded to hedge the risk of unfavourable movements in the exchange rates used to translate net investments in foreign operations, are treated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of fair value gains or losses on the derivatives is recognised in other comprehensive income, thus offsetting changes in the
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
foreign currency translation reserve for net investments in foreign operations. Accumulated fair value gains and losses, recognised in the net investment hedge reserve, are reclassified from comprehensive income to profit or loss on the disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 are recognised in profit or loss.
The classification and related measurement are driven by both the business model in which the financial asset is held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset.
The financial asset is measured at amortised cost subject to both of the following conditions:
A financial asset meeting the conditions to be classified and measured at amortised cost may, on initial recognition, be designated as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, to the extent that this accounting treatment would eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency (an 'accounting mismatch') that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases.
Receivables measured at amortised cost are initially recognised at the fair value of the underlying asset, after any directly attributable transaction proceeds. The receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provisions for impairment losses (recognised in profit or loss) for amounts considered uncollectible. The estimate for uncollectible amounts is based on the present value of expected cash-out flows. These cash flows take account of expected collection times, estimated realisable value, any guarantees received, and the expected costs of recovering the amounts due. Impairment losses are reversed in future periods if the circumstances that resulted in the loss no longer exist. In this case, the reversal is accounted for in the income statement and may not in any event exceed the amortised cost of the receivable had no previous impairment losses been recognised.
Trade receivables subject to normal commercial terms and conditions, or that do not include significant financial components, are not discounted to present value.
Financial assets measured at amortised cost include the following receivables arising from assets held under concession:
The financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the objectives of the business model are to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows, or to sell it, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that solely represent a return on the financial asset.
Finally, any remaining financial assets, other than those described above, are classified as held for trading and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
No financial instruments were reclassified from one of the above categories to another in 2018.
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, after any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, financial liabilities are measures at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Trading liabilities subject to normal commercial terms and conditions, or that do not include significant financial components, are not discounted to present value.
If there is a modification of one or more terms of an existing financial liability (including as a result of its novation), it is necessary to conduct a qualitative and quantitative assessment in order to decide whether or not the modification is substantial with respect to the existing contractual terms. In the absence of substantial modifications, the difference between the present value of the modified cash flows (determined using the instrument's effective interest rate at the date of modification) and the carrying amount of the instruments is accounted for in profit or loss. As a result, the value of the financial liability is adjusted and the instrument's effective interest rate recalculated. If the modifications are substantial, the existing instrument is derecognised and the fair value of the new instrument is recognised, with the related difference recognised in profit or loss.
Financial instruments are derecognised in the financial statements when, following their sale or settlement, the Group is no longer involved in their management and has transferred all the related risks and rewards of ownership and, therefore, no longer has the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset.
For all transactions or balances (financial or non-financial) for which an accounting standard requires or permits fair value measurement and which falls within the application of IFRS 13, the Group applies the following criteria:
Based on the inputs used for fair value measurement, a fair value hierarchy for classifying the assets and liabilities measured at fair value, or the fair value of which is disclosed in the financial statements, has been identified:
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; iii) other observable inputs (interest rate and yield curves, implied volatilities and credit spreads);
c) level 3: unobservable inputs used to the extent that observable data is not available. The unobservable inputs used for fair value measurement should reflect the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability being measured.
Definitions of the fair value hierarchy level in which individual financial instruments measured at fair value have been classified, or for which the fair value is disclosed in the financial statements, are provided in the notes to individual components of the financial statements.
There are no assets or liabilities classifiable in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
No transfers between the various levels of the fair value hierarchy took place during the year.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on expected cash flows that are discounted at rates derived from the market yield curve at the measurement date and the curve for listed credit default swaps entered into by the counterparty and Group companies, to include the non-performance risk explicitly provided for by IFRS 13.
In the case of medium/long-term financial instruments, other than derivatives, where market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by discounting expected cash flows, using the market yield curve at the measurement date and taking into account counterparty risk in the case of financial assets and own credit risk in the case of financial liabilities.
"Provisions for construction services required by contract" relate to any outstanding contractual obligations for construction services to be performed, having regard to motorway expansion and upgrades for which the operator receives no additional economic benefits in terms of a specific increase in tolls and/or a significant increase in expected use of the infrastructure. Since the performance of such obligations is treated as part of the consideration for the concession, an amount equal to the fair value of future construction services (equal to the present value of the services, less the portion covered by grants, and excluding any financial expenses that may be incurred during provision of the services) is initially recognised. The double entry is concession rights for works without additional economic benefits. The fair value of the residual liability for future construction services is, therefore, periodically reassessed and changes to the measurement of the liabilities (such as, for example, changes to the estimated cash outflows necessary to discharge the obligation, a change in the discount rate or a change in the construction period) are recognised as a matching increase or reduction in the corresponding intangible asset. Any increase in provisions to reflect the time value of money is recognised as a financial expense.
Other provisions are made when: (i) the Group has a present (actual or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) the related amount can be reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured on the basis of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If the discount to present value is material, provisions are determined by discounting future expected cash flows to their present value at a rate that reflects the market view of the time value of money. Subsequent to the computation of present value, the increase in provisions over time is recognised as a financial expense.
"Provisions for the repair and replacement of motorway infrastructure" cover the liability represented by the contractual obligation to repair and replace infrastructure, as required by the concession arrangements entered into by the Group's motorway operators and the respective grantors. These provisions are calculated on the basis of the usage and state of repair of motorways at the end of the reporting period, taking into account, if material, the time value of money.
Routine maintenance costs are, in contrast, recognised in the income statement when incurred and are not, therefore, included in the provisions.
The provisions for cyclical maintenance include the estimated cost of a single cycle and are determined separately for each category of infrastructure (viaducts, flyovers, tunnels, safety barriers, motorway surfaces). The following process is applied for each category, based on specific technical assessments, the available information, the current state of motorway traffic and existing materials and technologies:
The above effects are recognised in the following income statement items:
When the cost of the works is actually incurred, the cost is recognised by nature and the item "Operating change in provisions" reflects use of the provisions previously made, as described in point e) above. In accordance with existing contractual obligations, "Provisions for the renewal of motorway infrastructure" reflect the present value of the estimated costs to be incurred over time in order to satisfy the contractual obligation, to be fulfilled by the operator in accordance with the concession arrangement, requiring performance of the necessary extraordinary maintenance of the assets operated under concession and their repair and replacement. Given that these costs cannot be accounted for as an increase in the value of the assets as they are effectively incurred from time to time, and that they do not meet the necessary requirement for recognition in intangible assets, they are accounted for, together with the assets to which they relate, as provisions in accordance with IAS 37. This is done based on the degree to which the infrastructure is used, as this is deemed to represent the likely cost to be incurred by the operator in order to guarantee fulfilment, over time, of the obligation to ensure the serviceability and safety of the assets operated under concession. Given the cyclical nature of the works, the value of the provisions recognised in the financial statements is limited to the estimated costs to be incurred as part of the first maintenance cycle, following the end of the reporting period, calculated, taking into account the necessary impact of discounting to present value, for each individual intervention. Classification of the works, as among those to be included in the provisions or as construction/upgrade services performed on behalf of the grantor, is based on the operator's assessment, with the support of its technical units, of the essential elements of the projects included in the approved investment programmes, identifying those that satisfy the criteria described above.
Short-term employee benefits, provided during the period of employment, are accounted for as the accrued liability at the end of the reporting period.
Liabilities deriving from medium/long-term employee benefits are recognised in the vesting period, less any plan assets and advance payments made. They are determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and, if material, recognised on an accruals basis in line with the period of service necessary to obtain the benefit.
Post-employment benefits in the form of defined benefit plans are recognised at the amount accrued at the end of the reporting period.
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
Post-employment benefits in the form of defined benefit plans are recognised in the vesting period, less any plan assets and advance payments made. Such defined benefit plans primarily regard the obligation as determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and recognised on an accruals basis in line with the period of service necessary to obtain the benefit. The obligation is calculated by independent actuaries. Any resulting actuarial gain or loss is recognised in full in other comprehensive income in the period to which it relates.
Where the carrying amount of non-current assets held for sale, or of assets and liabilities included in disposal groups and/or related to discontinued operations is to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continued use, these items are presented separately in the statement of financial position. Immediately prior to being classified as held for sale, each asset and liability is recognised under the specific IFRS applicable and subsequently accounted for at the lower of the carrying amount and fair value. Any impairment losses are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Disposal groups or discontinuing operations are recognised in the income statement as discontinued operations provided the following conditions are met:
After tax gains and losses resulting from the management or sale of such operations are recognised as one amount in profit or loss with comparatives.
Revenue is recognised when the fair value can be reliably measured and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Group. The amount recognised as revenue reflects the consideration to which the Group is entitled in exchange for goods transferred to the customer and services rendered. This revenue is recognised when the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied.
Depending on the type of transaction, revenue is recognised on the basis of the following specific criteria:
In addition to contract payments, contract revenues include variations, price revisions and any additional payments to the extent that their payment is probable and that their amount can be reliably measured. In the event that a loss is expected to be incurred on the completion of a contract, this loss shall be immediately recognised in profit or loss regardless of the stage of completion of the contract. Any positive or negative difference between the accrued revenue and any advance payments is recognised in assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position, taking into account any impairment recognised in order to reflect the risks linked to the inability to recover the value of work performed on behalf of customers. When service revenue cannot be reliably determined, it is only recognised to the extent that expenses are considered to be recoverable. This category revenue is classified in "Other operating income";
Provision of the above services also includes construction and/or upgrade services provided to Grantors, in application of IFRIC 12, and relating to concession arrangements to which certain Group companies are party. These revenues represent the consideration for services provided and are measured at fair value, calculated on the basis of the total costs incurred (primarily consisting of the costs of materials and external services, the relevant employee benefits and attributable financial expenses, the latter only in the case of construction and/or upgrade services for which the operator receives additional economic benefits) plus any arm's length profits realised on construction services provided by Group entities (insofar as they represent the fair value of the services). The double entry of revenue from construction and/or upgrade services is represented by a financial asset (concession rights and/or government grants) or an intangible asset deriving from concession rights.
Government grants are accounted for at fair value when: (i) the related amount can be reliably determined and there is reasonable certainty that (ii) they will be received and that (iii) the conditions attaching to them will be satisfied.
Grants related to income are accounted for in the income statement for the accounting period in which they accrue, in line with the corresponding costs.
Grants received for investment in motorways and airports are accounted for as construction service revenue, as explained in the note on "Construction contracts and services work in progress". Any grants received to fund investment in property, plant and equipment are accounted for as a reduction in the cost of the asset to which they refer and result in a reduction in depreciation.
Income taxes are recognised on the basis of an estimate of tax expense to be paid, in compliance with the regulations in force, as applicable to each Group company.
Income tax payables are reported under current tax liabilities in the statement of financial position less any payments of taxes on account. Any overpayments are recognised as current tax assets.
Income tax payables are reported under current tax liabilities in the statement of financial position less any payments of taxes on account. Any overpayments of IRAP are recognised as current tax assets. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as in the Company's books (resulting from application of the accounting policies) and the corresponding tax bases (resulting from application of the tax regulations the tax regulations in force in the country relevant to each subsidiary), as follows:
The Parent Company, Atlantia SpA, has again operated a tax consolidation arrangement 2018, in which certain Italian-registered subsidiaries participate.
Atlantia Group's consolidated
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated
financial statements financial statements The cost of services provided by directors and/or employees remunerated through share-based incentive plans, and settled through the award of financial instruments, is based on the fair value of the rights at the grant date. Fair value is computed using actuarial assumptions and with reference to all characteristics, at the grant date (vesting period, any consideration due and conditions of exercise, etc.), of the rights and the plan's underlying securities. The obligation is determined by independent actuaries. The cost of these plans is recognised in profit or loss, with a contra-entry in equity, over the vesting period, based on a best estimate of the number of options that will vest.
The cost of any services provided by Directors and/or employees and remunerated through share-based payments, but settled in cash, is instead measured at the fair value of the liability assumed and recognised in profit or loss, with a contra entry in liabilities, over the vesting period, based on a best estimate of the number of options that will vest. Fair value is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until such time as the liability is settled, with any changes recognised in profit or loss.
At the end of the reporting period, the Group tests property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, financial assets and investments for impairment.
If there are indications that these assets have been impaired, the value of such assets is estimated in order to verify the recoverability of the carrying amounts and eventually measure the amount of the impairment loss. Irrespective of whether there is an indication of impairment, intangible assets with indefinite lives and those which are not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently, if an event has occurred or there has been a change in circumstances that could cause an impairment.
If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amounts of individual assets, the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which a particular asset belongs is estimated.
This entails estimating the recoverable amount of the asset (represented by the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use) and comparing it with the carrying amount. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. In calculating value in use, expected future pre-tax cash flows are discounted, using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the cost of capital, embodying the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset.
In estimating an operating CGU's future cash flows, after-tax cash flows and discount rates are used because the results are substantially the same as pre-tax computations.
Impairments are recognised in profit or loss and classified in various ways depending on the nature of the impaired asset. If there are indications, at the end of the reporting period, that an impairment loss recognised in previous years has been reduced, in full or in part, the recoverability of the carrying amount in the statement of financial position is tested and any reversal of the impairment loss through profit or loss determined. The reversal may under no circumstances exceed the amount of the impairment loss previously recognised. Impairments of goodwill may not be reversed.
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS involves the use of estimates and judgements, which are reflected in the measurement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and in the disclosures provided in the notes to the financial statements, including contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. These estimates are primarily used in determining amortisation and depreciation, impairment testing of assets (including the measurement of receivables), provisions, employee benefits, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, and deferred tax assets and liabilities. The amounts subsequently recognised may, therefore, differ from these estimates. Moreover, these estimates and judgements are periodically reviewed and updated, and the resulting effects of each change immediately recognised in the financial statements.
The reporting package of each consolidated enterprise is prepared using the functional currency of the economy in which the enterprise operates. Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recognised by application of the exchange rate at the transaction date. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are, subsequently, remeasured by application of the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Any exchange differences on remeasurement are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and recognised at historical cost or fair value are translated using the exchange rate at the date of initial recognition.
Translation of the liabilities, assets, goodwill and consolidation adjustments shown in the reporting packages of consolidated companies with functional currencies other than the euro is made at the closing rate of exchange, whereas the average rate of exchange is used for income statement items to the extent that they approximate the transaction date rate or the rate during the period of consolidation, if lower. All resultant exchange differences are recognised directly in comprehensive income and reclassified to profit or loss upon the loss of control of the investment and the resulting deconsolidation.
As required by IAS 29, the Group assesses whether or not any of the functional currencies used by subsidiaries are the currencies of a hyperinflationary economy.
For this purpose, the group examines the nature of the economic environment of the country in which the entity operates, with reference to the presence of one or more of the following key features:
If the assessment concludes that the entity operates in a hyperinflationary economy, the non-monetary assets and liabilities (as defined by IAS 29, essentially represented by non-current assets and liabilities not linked by contract to price movements) expressed in the related functional currency are restated on the basis of the general level of inflation in the country and the impact of this restatement recognised in profit or loss. Monetary assets and liabilities should continue to be recognised at their historical cost. Following the restatement, the reporting packages of the related entities are converted into euros applying the method described in the section, "Translation of foreign currency items", in these notes.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the accounting period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing profit attributable to owners of the parent by the above weighted average, also taking into account the effects deriving from the subscription, exercise or conversion of all potential shares that may be issued as a result of the exercise of any outstanding rights.
IFRS 15 has replaced the previous IAS 18 and IAS 11 and the related interpretations, IFRIC 13, IFRIC 15, IFRIC 18 and SIC 31.
The new standard establishes the standards to follow in recognising revenue from contracts with customers, with the exception of contracts falling within the scope of application of standards governing leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments.

statements Under IFRS 15, the entity must analyse the contract and the related accounting effects using the following steps:
The amount recognised as revenue by an entity must, therefore, reflect the consideration to which the entity is entitled in exchange for goods transferred to the customer and/or services rendered. This revenue is to be recognised when the entity has satisfied its performance obligations under the contract. Following the assessment conducted, the adoption of IFRS 15 is not expected to have any impact on the Atlantia Group, with the exception of the renaming of certain line items, with the exception of:
With regard to point a), the consolidated income statement for 2017, presented for comparative purposes, has been restated, with a reduction of €6,567 thousand in both "Aviation revenue" and "Service costs", without having any impact on profit for the year and/or on consolidated equity.
IFRS 9, which has replaced IAS 39, has introduced new rules for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new impairment model for financial assets and a new hedge accounting model. The changes that are most relevant to the Group in terms of their impact on the income statement and/or the financial position primarily regard:
As permitted by IFRS 9, the Atlantia Group has restated the assets and liabilities accounted for as at 31 December 2017, recognising the impact of adoption of the new standard as an adjustment to equity as at 1 January 2018.
In terms of the Atlantia Group's assets and liabilities as at 31 December 2017, as reported in the statement of financial position included in the consolidated financial statements as at that date, the only effect of note resulting from adoption of IFRS 9 regards the non-substantial modifications of financial liabilities carried out by Autostrade per l'Italia and Aeroporti di Roma in 2017 (as described in note 7.15 to the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017). Under the new standard, these modifications have resulted in recognition of the difference between the present value of
the modified cash flows (determined using the instrument's effective interest rate at the date of the modification) and the carrying amount of the instrument at the date of the modification. As a result, and as shown in the following consolidated statement of financial position as at 1 January 2018, non-current financial liabilities have been reduced by €42 million, recognising the related deferred tax liabilities of €10 million. This has, therefore, resulted in an increase in consolidated equity of €32 million, including €29 million attributable to owners of the parent. The following table shows the above impact.

As required by IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors, this section describes new accounting standards and interpretations, and amendments of existing standards and interpretations that are already applicable, that have yet to come into effect as at 31 December 2018 and that may in the future be applied in the Group's consolidated financial statements:

On 13 January 2016, the IASB published the final version of the new financial reporting standard on leases, which replaced IAS 17, IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC27 and is due to take effect on 1 January 2019. The new standard provides a different definition of lease and introduces a criterion based on control of the asset, to distinguish a lease from a service contract, indicating as discriminating factors the identification of the asset, the right to replace the asset, the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits deriving from the use of the asset and, lastly, the right to direct the use of the asset underlying the contract.
The new financial reporting standard removes the distinction between operating and finance leases for the lessee. In fact, IFRS 16 requires the lessee to recognise the at lease commencement in the statement of financial position a right-of-use asset (i.e. in the same item where the corresponding assets would be recognised if they were owned), to be depreciated over the term of the right-of-use. At lease commencement, the lessor also recognises, as a contra-entry to the above right-of-use, a liability arising from the contract, for an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments due. IFRS 16 clarifies that, within the context of the lease contract, a lessee must separate the components related to the lease (which are accounted for as per IFRS 16) from those related to other services, which are accounted for in accordance with other IFRS.
The lessee may elect not to apply the new standard lease contracts of up to 12 months and those concerning low-value assets, considering that they have little significance.
Regarding the lessor, instead, the distinction between finance lease and operating lease continues to apply, depending on the characteristics of the contract, as per IAS 17. Consequently, the lessor will recognise a financial receivable (if a finance lease) or a tangible asset (if an operating lease).
As to the possible impacts for the Atlantia Group deriving from the introduction of IFRS 16, the possible effects of its introduction were analysed. It is noted that the Group is does not hold significant assets as a lessee, with the relevant contracts referring mainly to property leases.
The project for the preliminary identification of potential impacts took place in different stages, including one involving the mapping of contracts that might potentially include a lease arrangement and the analysis of such contracts to understand the main provisions that would be relevant in relation to IFRS 16.
To that end, the Group intends to avail itself of the simplifications allowed by the standard:
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
For this purpose, the assessment of the impact of the new standard on the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements is close to completion. Based on the information available, financial liabilities (for leases) in the consolidated statement of financial position as of 1 January 2019 are expected to increase by approximately €150 million, reflecting essentially an increase in right-of-use assets. On the other hand, the impact on profit for the year is not expected to be significant over time, with recognition of the present value of financial expenses and depreciation of the assets, instead of the current recognition of lease payments.
On 12 December 2017 the IASB published "Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2015 – 2017 cycle" regarding amendments to certain standards.
The main amendments that might affect the Group related to:
On 31 October 2018 the IASB published "Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8)", which has introduced an amendment designed to make the definition of "material" more specific. The amendment also introduces the concept of "obscured information", in addition to the concepts of "omitted" and "misstated" information already present in the two amended standards. The amendment clarifies that information is "obscured" if it is provided in such a way as to produce for general users of financial statements an effect similar to that which would be produced if such information had been omitted or misstated.
On 7 February 2018 the IASB published "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to IAS 19)", amending IAS 19 to clarify how an entity should recognise an amendment (or a curtailment or a settlement) to a defined-benefit plan. The amendment requires the entity to review its assumptions and remeasure the liability or the net assets of the plan. After such occurrence, the entity must use the new assumptions to measure the service cost and net interest for the period after the remeasurement.
On 22 October 2018 the IASB published "Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)", to amend IFRS 3 in such a way as to clarify the definition of a business.
In particular, the amendment clarifies that an output is not the necessary condition to identify a business in the presence of a set of activities/processes and assets. However, to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that
together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. To this end, the IASB has replaced "ability to create outputs" with "contribution to the ability to create outputs" to clarify that a business can exist also without all the inputs and processes necessary to create an output.
Moreover, the amendment has introduced an optional concentration test, to determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business. To that end, the amendment added a large number of illustrative examples to IFRS 3, to allow comprehension of the practical application of the new definition of a business in specific cases. The amendments apply to all business combinations and acquisitions occurring after 1 January 2020, with early application permitted.
The Atlantia Group is assessing the potential impact, which cannot currently be reasonably estimated, of future application of all the newly issued standards and revisions and amendments of existing standards, with the exception of IFRS 16, the expected impact of which is described above.
The Atlantia Group's core business is the operation of motorways and airports under concessions held by Atlantia Group companies. The purpose of the concessions is the construction and operation of motorway and airport infrastructure in Italy and abroad.
Essential information regarding the concessions held by Group companies is set out below. Further details of events of a regulatory nature, linked to the Atlantia Group's concession arrangements, during the year are provided in note 10.7, "Significant legal and regulatory aspects".
Existing concession arrangements establish the right for motorway operators to collect tolls from motorway users. Tolls are revised annually through a toll formula contained in the specific individual concession arrangements. On the other hand, operators have an obligation to pay concession fees, to expand and modernise the motorway infrastructure operated under the concessions, and to maintain and operate the motorways. Concessions are not automatically renewed on expiry but are publicly re-tendered in accordance with laws as may be in effect from time to time. This consequently entails the handover free of charge of all assets in a good state of repair by the operator to the Grantor, unless the concession provides for a payment by a replacement operator of the residual carrying amount of assets to be handed over.
The only changes to the motorway concessions held by the companies included in the "Italian motorways" operating segment, compared with 2017, are as follows:
a) a II Addendum to Autostrade per l'Italia's Single Concession was signed on 22 February 2018. The Addendum governs the inclusion of the Casalecchio Interchange – Northern section among the operator's investment commitments in the Single Concession Arrangement. The project will involve expenditure of up to approximately €158 million, including around €2 million already incurred for design work, and almost €156 million to be paid to ANAS, which will carry out the work and then operate the infrastructure. This amount will be paid to ANAS on a stage of completion basis and under a specific agreement to be executed. The amount will then be recouped by Autostrade per l'Italia through the specific "K" tariff component.
The Addendum came into effect with approval by decree 128 of 16 March 2018 issued by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and the Ministry of the Economy and Finance, and registered by the Court of Auditors on 31 May 2018.

Atlantia Group's
Notes to the Atlantia Group's
The process of revising the financial plans of Raccordo Autostradale Valle d'Aosta, Tangenziale di Napoli and Autostrada Tirrenica is still in progress.
With regard to Autostrade per l'Italia's concession, the company is in the process of implementing a programme of investment in major infrastructure projects (including the works envisaged in the Concession Arrangement of 1997, the IV Addendum of 2002 and other investment), worth approximately €18.0 billion, including approximately €10.4 billion already completed as at 31 December 2018 (€10.1 billion as at 31 December 2017). This programme essentially regards the upgrade of existing motorways.
With regard to the concession held by Autostrade Meridionali, which expired on 31 December 2012, the company is continuing to operate the relevant motorway (the A3 Naples-Salerno) under a contract extension, in accordance with the terms of the previous arrangement, and whilst awaiting the conclusion of the tender process that will select the new operator to take over operation of the motorway. Further information is provided in note 10.7, "Significant legal and regulatory aspects".
The concessions held by the Brazilian companies, included in the "Overseas motorways" operating segment, envisage a series of obligations relating to the construction, expansion, modernisation, maintenance and operation of the motorways covered by the concession arrangements, in return for the right to charge motorway users a toll, revised annually on the basis of inflation.
The following should be noted with regard to these operators' investment commitments, based on their significance:
On expiry, all the motorway assets covered by the concessions must be returned to the Grantor in a good state of repair.
The concessions held by the Chilean companies, included in the "Overseas motorways" operating segment, envisage a series of obligations relating to investment, maintenance and operation of the sections of motorway covered by the concession arrangements, in return for the right to charge motorway users a toll. In certain cases, the tolls are subject to a guaranteed minum level of revenue by the Grantor. These tolls are revised annually on the basis of inflation and, in certain cases, other parameters represented by unconditional increases (3.5% for the concessions held by Costanera Norte, Vespucio Sur and Nororiente, 1.5% for AMB) or factors linked to accident rates (Los Lagos).
On expiry, all the motorway assets covered by the concessions must be returned to the Grantor in a good state of repair.
The concessions held by Nororiente and AMB expire on reaching specific thresholds for total revenue discounted to present value (using a discount rate defined in the related concession arrangement) and, in any event, not beyond a certain date.
The Addendum, signed by the operator, Costanera Norte, and the Grantor in previous years, contains an investment programme named "Programma Santiago Centro Oriente" (or "CC7"), covering seven projects designed to eliminate the principal bottlenecks on the section operated under concession. The total value of the work to be carried out is around 255 billion Chilean pesos (€347 million) with approximately 95% of the wok completed at the end of 2018. The Addendum envisages a mechanism for compensating the operator for the cost of investment in the project. This will be in the form of additional revenue generated by new tollgates under a revenue-sharing arrangement with the Grantor, potential payments from the Grantor and/or extension of the concession term in order to guarantee an unconditional return on the investment for up to 3 years. Should there be a residual amount due to the operator at the end of any extension, the Grantor will pay the balance.
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
In July 2018, Nororiente completed implementation of a free-flow tolling system, costing approximately 3 billion Chilean pesos (equal to approximately €4 million), included in an addendum agreed with Chile's Ministry of Public Works in May 2018. The operator will be compensated for loss of revenue due to toll evasion through a 10-month extension of the concession term or, at the Ministry's discretion, a cash payment at the end of the original concession term.
The operator, AMB, has plans in place for the construction of the northern section of the motorway covered by its concession at an estimated cost of approximately 25 billion Chilean pesos (equal to €32 million). Subject to receiving the necessary consents, work is expected to begin in 2019.
In July 2017, Grupo Costanera was awarded the concession covering the last 5.2 km section of the inner ring road in the city of Santiago (Amerigo Vespucio Oriente II). The section is to consist entirely of a tunnel and will cost approximately 380 billion Chilean pesos to build (€490 million). The concession term began from 5 April 2018, the date on which the Supreme Decree awarding the concession was published in the Official Gazette.
In February 2018, Grupo Costanera was also awarded the concession a new 9.2-km section of urban motorway connecting Ruta 78 and Ruta 68 in the city of Santiago. The estimated cost of the project is approximately 165 billion pesos (equal to approximately €210 million). The concession term began from 21 April 2018, the date on which the Supreme Decree awarding the concession was published in the Official Gazette.
Finally, in December 2017, Chile's Ministry of Public Works and Ministry of Finance signed a resolution requesting the operator, Los Lagos, to carry out certain construction services and road safety works as a matter of urgent public interest ("Programa de Obras de Seguridad y Serviciabilidad"), which the operator will be compensated for at a pre-set rate via extension of the concession term and/or an eventual cash payment, to be included in a specific addendum to the concession arrangement. The total value of the programme is approximately 29 billion Chilean pesos (The total value of the programme is approximately €37 million).
Stalexport Autostrada Malopolska SA's concession requires it to implement an investment programme and to operate and maintain the specific section of motorway covered by its concession arrangement. In return for the services rendered, the operator has the right to charge motorway users a toll. There have been no changes in this concession with respect to 2017.
The operator, Aeroporti di Roma ("ADR") holds an exclusive concession to manage the airport system serving Italy's capital city, consisting of "Leonardo da Vinci" Fiumicino airport and "G.B. Pastine" Ciampino airport, in accordance with the concession awarded to the company by Law 755 of 10 November 1973, the Single Concession Arrangement covering management of the capital city's airport system and the Planning Agreement ("the Single Deed"), signed on 25 October 2012, and which replaced the previous Arrangement 2820, dated 26 June 1974. The Single Deed regulates, in one document, both relations pertaining to the airport concession (Section I of the Agreement), and the criteria for determining and periodically reviewing the applicable regulatory tariffs, being the fees receivable for the aviation services provided, within the airports, on an exclusive basis by the operator, and their review throughout the airport concession term (Section II, "Planning Agreement and Tariff Regulation"). The setting and revision of regulatory tariffs is based on application of a RAB-based method, which takes into account, among other things, the amount of capital expenditure carried out and traffic projections.
In accordance with the principle that management of the concession must be based on affordable and organic criteria, as defined by Law 755 of 10 November 1973, as amended, by signing the Single Deed, ADR has committed:
Information of the investment commitments included in ADR's concession arrangement is provided in the section, "Italian airports", in the Report on Operations accompanying these financial statements. The commitments are focused within a period of ten years and constitute, under the terms of the concession arrangement, the so-called "Airport Master Plan". In turn, the Master Plan contains details of the investments to be carried out in each five-year period, corresponding to each regulatory "sub-period" for tariff purposes.
The first ten-year period from 2012 to 2021 is currently in progress. The latest Master Plan, approved in December 2016, envisages that, during the second five-year regulatory period (2017-2021), the company will carry out capital expenditure amounting to approximately €1,795 million.
Capital expenditure totalling approximately €172 million was effectively completed in 2018 on the basis of the regulatory accounts, including €5 million relating to the design of new buildings, initially not provided for in the five-year plan approved by the Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC).
ADR is also required to pay an annual concession fee to ENAC.
The works carried out by ADR on the grounds of the airport are the property of ADR until expiry of the airport concession term. Paragraph 4 of art. 20bis of the Planning Agreement states that, on natural expiry of the concession, ADR will receive from ENAC an amount equal to the remaining value of the unamortised capital expenditure, as assessed on the basis of the regulatory accounts. At the end of 2018, ADR has not carried out investment in assets that will, at the end of the concession term, have a residual value of more than zero, based on its regulatory accounts.
Aéroports de la Côte D'Azur ("ACA") holds an exclusive concession for the airports of Nice and Cannes-Mandelieu, under the concession awarded by decree dated 14 June 2008. The concession expires on 31 December 2044. The company also owns and operates Saint Tropez airport.
In accordance with France's Civil Aviation Code (article R. 224-3-1), the fees for airports operated under concession are linked to the following: (i) the cost of providing a public airport service, including infrastructure and services and (ii) certain types of non-aviation revenue, as itemised in a ministerial decree or in multi-year contracts. The regulatory framework requires that airport traffic, cost and aviation and non-aviation revenue projections be taken into account when determining the return on invested capital and, as a result, the level of fees payable during the next year. In 2016, ACA and the French government, represented by France's Civil Aviation Authority (the Direction Général de l'Aviation Civile or DGCA), agreed on basic principles on which to base the multi-year contract establishing fees for the 2017-2022 period and for subsequent periods. These principles have, among other things, redefined the scope of the regulated services and established the percentage contribution of non-aviation services to the scope of regulated services, to the extent needed in order to provide a fair return. The contract is subject
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
to prior approval by the Independent Supervisory Authority, as regards the aspects falling within its purview. Following the Independent Supervisory Authority's failure to endorse the contract agreed by ACA and the Grantor for the 2017-2018 tariff period, the previously endorsed tariffs have remained in effect.
On 14 July 2018, a decree was published by the French Minister of Transport who, within the scope of the Minister's powers, has established the criteria for determining the fees payable in return for the airport services provided by Nice-Côte d'Azur and Cannes-Mandelieu airports (ACA). The decree expressly distinguishes between the scope of regulated and non-regulated activities for the purpose of setting the related fees, introducing a price cap system for the duration of the concession.
Information on the revised fees for the 2017-2018 period is provided in note 10.7, "Significant legal and regulatory aspects".
Abertis group companies' principal concession arrangements regard the maintenance and operation of sections of motorway operated by the group's operators. At the end of the concession terms, the infrastructure must be returned to the Grantor in a good state of repair. Tolls are indexed to inflation according to specific formulas for each concession.
The principal changes in 2018 are described below.
In January 2018, the Spanish operator, Castellana, was awarded a concession previously held by another Abertis group company, Iberpistas. The new concession will expire in November 2029. In addition, Castellana has signed an agreement with the Grantor, requiring it to widen the related section of motorway to three lanes.
On 15 December 2018, an addendum (Convenio ad Referendum n. 5) was signed by Rutas del Pacìfico and Chile's Ministry of Public Works regarding implementation of a free-flow tolling system. As a result of the new agreement, the concession term will be extended for a further ten months once the contractual threshold for the present value of revenue has been reached.
On 9 March 2018, Autopista del Sol formalised an agreement with Chile's Ministry of Public Works regarding construction of the third lane of the Santiago – Talagante section of motorway, prolonging the concession for a further twenty-two months until March 2021.
On 24 July 2018, the operators, GCO and Ausol, and Argentina's National Highways Agency (Dirección Nacional de Vialidad de Argentina) formalised and agreement that provides for, among other things, the recognition of compensation for the operators in the event of regulatory imbalances. Further information is provided in note 10.7, "Significant legal and regulatory aspects".

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial
statements In addition to the Parent Company, entities are consolidated when Atlantia directly or indirectly exercises control. Control over an entity is exercised when the Company is exposed to or has the right to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor's returns.
Subsidiaries are consolidated using the line-by-line method and are listed in Annex 1. A number of companies listed in Annex 1 have not been consolidated due to their quantitative and qualitative immateriality to a true and fair view of the Atlantia Group's financial position, results of operations and cash flows, as a result of their operational insignificance (dormant companies or companies whose liquidation is nearing completion).
All entities over which control is exercised are consolidated from the date on which the Atlantia Group acquires control, as defined above, whilst they are deconsolidated from the date on which the Atlantia Group ceases to exercise control.
Companies are consolidated on the basis of the specific reporting packages prepared by each consolidated company, as of the end of the reporting period and in compliance with the IFRS adopted by the Atlantia Group. Companies are consolidated according to the following criteria and procedures:
The exchange rates, shown below, used for the translation of reporting packages denominated in functional currencies other than the euro, were obtained from the Bank of Italy:

The scope of consolidation as at 31 December 2018 differs from the scope used as at 31 December 2017 following the Atlantia Group's acquisition of controlling interests in the following companies:
The transaction, described in detail in note 6.2 below, enabled the Atlantia Group to acquire control of Abertis and its 99 subsidiaries as defined by IFRS 10. As a result, these companies have been consolidated the Group's accounts from 31 October 2018.
Finally, it should also be noted that:
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
On 2 March 2018, Atlantia acquired a 100% interest in Aero 1 Global & International Sàrl (hereinafter "Aero 1") from a number of funds managed by Goldman Sachs Infrastructure Partners. The acquired company is a Luxembourg-registered investment vehicle that holds 85,170,758 shares in Getlink (formerly Groupe Eurotunnel SE), amounting to a 15.49% interest and representing 26.64% of the company's voting rights (quotas calculated on the basis of the total shares in issue, amounting to 550,000,000, and the total number of voting rights, amounting to 639,363,734 as at 31 December 2018, based on disclosures published by Getlink on 11 January 2019).
Getlink operates the undersea link connecting France with the UK (consisting of three tunnels and two terminals under a concession expiring in 2086), Europorte (a rail business not operated under concession) and the electricity interconnection between France and the UK (ElecLink), which is being built inside the tunnel. Getlink is listed on the Euronext Paris and Euronext London exchanges and had a market capitalisation of approximately €5.7 billion at the acquisition date.
The cost of the acquisition to Atlantia totals €1,056 million. The cost incurred consists of €779 million in loans from Atlantia to Aero 1 (subsequently converted into equity in May 2018) and €277 million represented by the 100% interest in the company's capital.
For the purposes of preparing the consolidated financial statements, the transaction has been accounted for using the acquisition method, as required by IFRS 3. This involved estimating and measuring the fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed as a result of the acquisition of Aero 1. Specifically, fair value adjustments of €381 million to the value of Aero 1's investment in Getlink were determined, resulting a total value of the investment of €1,056 million, whilst the Group has continued to recognise the carrying amounts of the other assets and liabilities previously recognised in the acquired company's financial statements, as it was deemed that these amounts approximated to fair value. Aero 1's financial liabilities were excluded from the assessment, given that Atlantia has also acquired the matching financial assets transferred by the sellers together with the above shareholding.
As a result of the acquisition of Aero 1, the Atlantia Group thus holds an investment in Getlink that, under IFRS, gives it significant influence over this company. This means that, from the acquisition date, the investment in Getlink is accounted for using the equity method, taking into account the fair value of the assets and liabilities of Getlink and its subsidiaries identified at the acquisition date and including the fair value of the above investment.
Getlink's gains were allocated on an "implicit" basis. Compared with the attributable share of equity at the acquisition date, totalling €319 million, account was taken of fair value adjustments to concession rights totalling €992 million (€588 million after the impact of the related deferred taxation, totalling €404 million), to financial liabilities totalling €156 million (€122 million after the impact on the related deferred tax assets, totalling €34 million) and treasury shares held by the company, amounting to €14 million. This resulted in a remaining difference, with respect to the purchase price, of €257 million, which was recognised separately in goodwill.
On 29 October 2018 the Atlantia Group completed the transaction to obtain control of Abertis Infraestructuras SA ("Abertis"), the parent company of a group engaged in the operation of motorway concessions in Europe, the Americas and India. The transaction started in 2017, with Atlantia's launch of a voluntary public tender offer for cash and/or shares ("Atlantia's public tender offer") for the entire issued capital of Abertis Infraestructuras (regarding which reference is made to note 6.4 in the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017), subsequently withdrawn on 12 April 2018, in implementation of the agreements reached with ACS and Hochtief regarding a joint investment in Abertis. As a result of the above agreements, Hochtief acquired a 98.7% interest in Abertis, following this company's public tender offer for all the latter's issued capital and share purchases completed after the conclusion of the acceptance period for the offer (8 May 2018), as permitted by the existing regulations.
Pursuant to these agreements, Atlantia subscribed 50% plus one share of Abertis HoldCo SA, a company established in 2018 under the laws of Spain with the minority shareholders, ACS (which holds a 30% interest) and Hochtief (which holds 20% minus one share). Abertis HoldCo SA in turn established a wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary, Abertis Participaciones SA, that purchased from Hochtief, on 29 October 2018, 98.7% of Abertis's issued capital for €16,520 million.
Below, a description is provided of the main steps involved in the transaction in chronological order:

Atlantia Group's consolidated financial
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated
statements financial statements Regarding developments occurred in the course of the transaction, considering the investment agreement with ACS and Hochtief, as well as Atlantia's withdrawal of its public tender offer, on 13 April 2018, Atlantia cancelled the acquisition financing provided by its banks in May 2017, amounting to €14,700 million (previously reduced to €11,648 million in 2017, following both the issue of bonds in July 2017, and the sale of interests in a number of subsidiaries and associates, completed in the second half of 2017). The credit facilities cancelled by Atlantia were replaced by a combination of new facilities between May and July 2018 which, together with the loans obtained directly by Abertis HoldCo, made it possible to put together the funding package to complete the acquisition of Abertis's controlling interest. In particular, the funding package includes: a Term Loan of up to €1,500 million, repayable in tranches maturing between the first quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023; and a second Term Loan of up to €1,750 million, with a bullet repayment in the third quarter of 2023, and a Revolving facility of up to €1,250 million, with a bullet repayment in the third quarter of 2023. The two Term Loans were disbursed in total in September 2018, together with a partial disbursement under the Revolving Line of €675 million. As to the financial structure of the acquisition, to meet the borrowing requirements associated with the refinancing of the acquisition financing, in March 2018 the Group entered into further specific Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps with a notional value of €2,000 million to hedge against the risk of movements in interest rates, in addition to those already entered into in 2017 (notional value of €1,000 million).
Moreover, Abertis HoldCo obtained a funding package containing an amortising term loan of €3,000 million (totally disbursed, with maturities ranging from 4 to 5 years), a bridge loan of €4,750 million (bridge-to-bond, maturing in 18.5 months) and a bridge-to-disposal loan of €2,200 million (€2,074 million disbursed, maturing in 18.5 months)). The bridge-to-bond loan was partially repaid early, following the agreement on (on 27 December 2018), and disbursement of (on 3 January 2019), a bank loan for €970 million, maturing in 5 years and ii) partial prefunding, after the signing by Abertis, between December 2018 (for €815 million) and January 2019 (for €250 million), of bilateral bank loan agreements. Lastly, it is noted that, in December 2018, Abertis entered into Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps for a notional value of €3,500 million, and expiration dates between 2024 and 2031, to hedge against the risk of movements in interest rates, with respect to the financial liabilities to take on to refinance, among others, the remaining portion of the bridge-to-bond loan.
To prepare these consolidated financial statements, the transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method, in accordance with IFRS 3, by proceeding with a temporary allocation of the relevant amounts, as permitted by IFRS 3. To that end, in light of the significance and breadth of the acquisition, the complex structure of the Abertis Group and pending the definition of a post-acquisition multi-year plan by the Atlantia Group, it has been deemed appropriate to keep the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities reported in the Abertis Group's IFRS consolidated accounts and recognise the difference between the acquisition cost and the carrying amount of net assets acquired as goodwill. This accounting approach has been deemed clearer and more meaningful for users of the financial statements, considering the substantive inability to determine on a reasonable and reliable basis the fair value, albeit on a temporary basis, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, making it possible to provide a temporary view of the effects of the acquisition. This approach is permitted by IFRS 3 and has been confirmed, for these cases, by the opinion of an independent expert. In accordance with IFRS 3, the goodwill arisen as a result of the application of this accounting approach has been tested for impairment on the date of acquisition on the basis of the method described in IAS 36, as illustrated in note 7.2. Following the transaction and the acquisition of 23.86% of Hochtief (described in note 6.3), Atlantia holds a 54.06% equity interest in Abertis, through the two vehicles under its control and the shareholding in Hochtief. However, as permitted by IFRS 3, a policy election has been made under IAS 8 which, to consolidate Abertis and to attribute the value of the interests held by Abertis's non-controlling shareholders, takes into account solely the 49.35% equity interest held directly by Atlantia in Abertis through the wholly-owned vehicles consolidated on a line-by-line basis.
The table below shows the carrying amounts of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and goodwill, provisionally determined as above.

As permitted by IFRS 3, the final recognition of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies will be completed within 12 months of the date of acquisition, in connection with the valuation activities under way that will involve the determination of the fair value of the following:
and, to the remaining extent that the cost of acquisition exceeds net assets, goodwill.
If the acquired companies had been consolidated on a line-by-line basis as of 1 January 2018, the Atlantia Group consolidated revenue and consolidated profit for 2018 would have been €12,240 million (including €903 million in revenue from construction services) and €2,731 million (considering the full temporary allocation to goodwill, as per above), respectively.

On 29 October 2018, in a separate transaction from that described above in note 6.2, Atlantia acquired a 23.86% equity interest in Hochtief Aktiengesellschaft ("Hochtief"), following a new share issue by this company that was taken up entirely by its parent, ACS (at €143.04 per share). Subsequently, as agreed, ACS sold Hochtief's shares to Atlantia for a total of €2,411 million, that is at the same price as that paid for the newly-issued shares.
Hochtief is a company organised under the laws of Germany that controls a large construction group and is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Based on the assessments made, Atlantia is not deemed to exercise a significant influence over Hochtief. This is because, despite the existence of an equity interest greater than the presumably material 20% threshold indicated by IAS 28, there is no effective circumstance suggesting significant influence either at the time of the acquisition or subsequently, also considering the lack of:
Based on the above, and considering that the equity interest purchased by Atlantia is not held for trading, such equity interest has been irrevocably designated, pursuant to IFRS 9, as a financial instrument to be recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Therefore, IFRS 3 was not applied to this equity interest and no estimation of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Hochtief Group was performed.

There were no significant changes in the expected useful lives of intangible assets during the year.
Research and development expenditure of approximately €1 million has been recognised in the consolidated income statement for 2018. These activities are carried out in order to improve infrastructure, the services offered, safety levels and environmental protection and in relation to the internal development of software and IT systems.
"Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives", totalling €21,322,522 thousand, essentially consist of:
With reference to the recoverability of the carrying amounts of the above intangible assets, as required by IAS 36, the carrying amounts in the net invested capital of the following CGUs as at 31 December 2018 have been tested for impairment:
There was no evidence of potential reversals of impairment losses on CGU recognised in previous years.
In terms of the methodology used in impairment testing, it should be noted that, as explained in note 3, in line with the approach adopted in previous years, each operator is a separate CGU since the cash flows generated by the sections of motorways or the airports operated under specific concession arrangements are not closely linked. Subsidiaries that do not hold concessions are also treated as a separate CGU. With regard to the individual CGUs:
In the case of Autostrade per l'Italia, the following key assumptions forming the basis of the company's long-term business plan were used in order to conduct the impairment test and estimate value in use, also bearing in mind the regulatory framework for the related concession:
In terms of Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur, a discount rate of 4.57% was used to discount the operating cash flows indicated in the long-term plan, prepared on the basis of the regulatory framework for the related concession and based on expectations of moderate revenue growth.
In the case of Aéroport Golfe de Saint-Tropez, to which a discount rate of 5.72% was applied, the terminal value was estimated on the basis of normalised operating cash flow for the last year of the fiveyear explicit projection period, applying a prudential long-term growth rate (the so-called "g rate") of - 1%, in view of the limited size of the airport operated.
Quantification of the above assumptions was primarily based on publicly available information from external sources, integrated, where appropriate, by estimates based also on historical data.
The impairment tests confirmed that the net assets accounted for in the financial statements and allocated to the above CGUs are fully recoverable.
In addition to the above impairment tests, sensitivity analyses were conducted on the recoverable values, increasing the indicated discount rates by 1%, and reducing the average annual rate of traffic growth by 1%.
The results of these analyses have not, in any event, resulted in any material differences with respect to the outcomes of the above tests, with the exception of the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group, for which the analysis indicated:
Atlantia Group's consolidated financial
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated
statements financial statements Determination of the recoverable value of the net invested capital of the Abertis group (including the goodwill provisionally allocated, as explained in note 6.2) was based on an estimate of fair value using observable market inputs, as determined by a leading financial institution commissioned by Atlantia, involving the computation of market multiples for comparable companies and comparable transactions. The Group's chosen form of impairment test, based on fair value measurement of all the net assets acquired, compared with the overall value of the Abertis group's net invested capital (including the related goodwill), is in line with the decision, albeit provisional, to account for the acquisition as a single entity. This approach is permitted by IAS 36 and has been confirmed, for this type of transaction, by a specific independent expert opinion.
The computation of market multiples for comparable companies and comparable transactions was carried out on the basis of the ratio of Enterprise Value to EBITDA. Specifically:
The resulting fair value is higher than the Abertis group's net invested capital, including the goodwill provisionally recognised on acquisition.
The identified fair values qualify for level 2 of the fair value hierarchy established by IFRS 13.
Further confirmation of the result of the above tests is provided by the observance of fair values in level 1 during 2018, in line with the price of €18.36 per share paid by Abertis Participaciones on 29 October 2018 in order to acquire 98.7% of Abertis's shares:
With regard to CGUs where there is evidence of potential impairment losses, the recoverable value of the carrying amount of net invested capital of Pavimental and Autostrade Meridionali has been tested.
In carrying out the impairment test for Pavimental, which essentially provides support services to the Atlantia Group's operators (in connection with their investment and maintenance activities), it was deemed appropriate to estimate value in use on the basis of the same time-frame used in the long-term plans of the companies to which it provides its services, being 2044, without estimating terminal value. The estimated cash flows in the subsidiary's long-term plan, after taxation, were discounted at a rate of 6.73%, determined on the basis of the requirements of IAS 36. The results of the test confirmed the recoverability of the CGU's net assets.
In addition to the above impairment tests, a sensitivity analysis was conducted on the recoverable values, increasing the indicated discount rates by 1%. The results of this analysis did not result in any material differences with respect to the outcome of the above test.
In the case of Autostrade Meridionali, the operator's motorway concession expired on 31 December 2012. The operator is continuing to operate the relevant motorway whilst awaiting the selection of a new
operator, which will be required (i) to pay the company a takeover right (as indicated in note 7.4) equal to the unamortised carrying amount of the capital expenditure carried out in the final years of the concession arrangement, and (ii) to assume the obligations relating to sale and purchase agreements entered into by Autostrade Meridionali, excluding those of a financial nature, and to outstanding legal actions and disputes. In this regard, the value of this CGU's net assets is recoverable due to the above obligations to be honoured by the incoming operator.
As at 31 December 2018, this item is up €3,330,339 thousand, primarily due to a combination of the following:

The equity method was used to measure interests in associates and joint ventures, based on the most recent approved financial statements made available by the companies. In the event that the companies' financial statements as at 31 December 2018 are not available, the above data was supplemented by specific estimates based on the latest available information and adjusted, where necessary, to bring them into line with the Atlantia Group's accounting policies. The process of accounting for acquired investments using the equity method also takes into account the gains allocated in application of IFRS 3.
The fair value measurement of the investment in Hochtief was based on the price (€117.7) of the shares on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange on 28 December 2018.

With regard to the investment in Compagnia Aerea Italiana, the full value of the investment was written off in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017, in view of the entry into extraordinary administration, from 2 May 2017, of its subsidiary, Alitalia-Società Aerea Italiana SpA. This was due to the operating and financial difficulties faced by the company, the withdrawal of financial support by its shareholders and the impossibility of rapidly finding alternative solutions. In this case too, Atlantia does not have a legal or constructive obligation to the investee.

The carrying amounts of the investments in Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi and Getlink for which, as at 31 December 2018, there was evidence of a potential impairment were tested for impairment. There was no evidence of potential reversals of impairment losses on investments recognised in previous years.
The impairment tests were conducted using the Dividend Discount Model, based on the related longterm plans and applying discount rates of 6.23% and 7.50%, respectively.
The impairment tests confirmed that the carrying amounts of the investments in the above companies are fully recoverable.
In addition to the above impairment tests, sensitivity analyses were conducted on the recoverable values, increasing the indicated discount rates by 1%.
The results of the analysis showed:
The investment in Rodovias do Tieté was not tested for impairment, despite the presence of evidence, as: a) the carrying amount as at 31 December 2018, calculated using the equity method, had been written off; b) shareholders do not have legal or constructive obligations to cover the company's losses.

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
Financial assets deriving from concession rights are up €1,949,379 thousand compared with 2017, primarily due to the first-time consolidation of Abertis group companies. These primarily include:
Financial assets deriving from government grants to finance infrastructure works, including amounts receivable from grantors or other public entities as grants accruing as a result of construction and maintenance of assets held under concession, are up €37,514 thousand compared with 31 December 2017. This primarily reflects the first-time consolidation of Abertis group companies.
Other medium/long-term financial assets are up €331,505 thousand compared with 31 December 2017, essentially due to the contribution from the Abertis group. This regards the receivables due to the Spanish operator, Acesa, from the Spanish government, loans provided to non-controlling shareholders and guarantee deposits. Other medium/long-term financial assets also include the amount due to AB Concessoes from Infra Bertin Empreendimentos, which controls SPMAR, totalling €534,867 thousand, in addition to a number of seizures of amounts deposited in the bank accounts of certain of the Group's Brazilian companies under injunctions ordered by Brazilian courts in relation to labour disputes, in which the companies are not involved and which are attributable to the Heber group. No evidence of impairment was found in 2018 for any of the financial assets reported in the financial statements.

Deferred tax liabilities, totalling €4,197,458 thousand, essentially regard:
The change in the scope of deferred tax assets, totalling €842,176 thousand, and relating to the contribution from the Abertis group, broadly refers to the share of provisions for risks and charges that will be deductible in future years (€338,762 thousand) and to tax losses eligible to be carried forward to future years (€313,849 thousand). These were generated by the impairment of the receivable due to Acesa from the Grantor, following the dispute described in note 10.7. In terms of deferred tax liabilities, the change in scope resulting from the Abertis group's contribution broadly refers to deferred tax liabilities on the gains recognised on the fair value measurement of assets acquired with business combinations (€977,514 thousand) and those connected with the recognition of financial assets deriving from concession rights and government grants (€212,697 thousand).
The increase of €120,476 thousand compared with 2017 is primarily linked to the recognition of noncurrent assets linked to the concession arrangements entered into by the Chilean operators, Ruta 78-68 and Avo II.
7.7 Trading assets €2,386,690 thousand (€1,798,108 thousand)
As at 31 December 2018, trading assets consist of:
| COOLE | 31 December 2018 | 31 December 2017 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade receivables due from: | |||
| Motorway users | 1,718,463 | 1,224,217 | |

| Other trading assets | 123,884 | 40.417 | |
| Net trade receivables | 2,268,220 | 1,703,106 |
Trade receivables, after the allowance for bad debts, amount to €2,603,257 thousand, an increase of €644,206 thousand compared with 31 December 2017 (€1,959,051 thousand). This primarily reflects the contribution of the Abertis group (€582,636 thousand). After stripping out this factor, the increase of €61,570 thousand is essentially due to an increase in trade receivables at the Chilean operators (including
overdue interest on past due receivables). Other trading assets of €123,884 thousand are up €83,467 thousand on 31 December 2017 (€40,417 thousand), reflecting the liabilities relating to expropriations carried out by the Chilean operators, Ruta 78-68 and Avo II, in relation to construction projects, in compliance with the concession arrangement entered into in 2018.
The following table shows an ageing schedule for trade receivables.

| Trade receivables | 2,603,257 | 1.579.452 | 191.986 | 170.022 | 661.798 |
Overdue receivables regard unpaid motorway tolls and uncollected payments for airport services, royalties due from service area operators and sales of other goods and services.
The following table shows movements in the allowance for bad debts for trade receivables in 2018. The allowance has been determined with reference to past experience and historical data regarding losses on receivables, also taking into account guarantee deposits and other collateral given by customers.

As at 31 December 2018, the Group reports net current tax assets of €666,874 thousand, a change of €738,892 thousand compared with net current tax liabilities of €72,018 thousand as at 31 December 2017. After stripping out the impact of first-time consolidation of the Abertis group, which has contributed current tax assets, net of current tax liabilities, of €573,741 thousand, the increase of €165,151 thousand broadly reflects the fact that payments on account made exceed estimated tax expense
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
for 2018. The assets contributed by the Abertis group essentially regard payments on account, in relation to both dividends received and to the gain resulting from the sale of the investment in Cellnex. Under Spanish tax law, these amounts, whilst exempt from taxation, should be included in the computation of payments on account for the year and will be offset in full at the time of payment of the balance of income tax for the year, with any remaining overpayment recovered in the form of a refund.

| Other current assets | 602,580 | 187,059 | 415,521 |
The increase of €415,521 thousand is broadly attributable to the contribution from the Abertis group. This mainly relates to amounts receivable by operators from the related grantors in return for construction services performed, falling outside the scope of IFRIC 12, and sundry tax assets.
Net assets held for sale or related to discontinued operations, totalling €1,024,928 thousand as at 31 December 2018, primarily include the net assets of the Hispasat group, totalling €1,020,679 thousand. Abertis agreed to sell Hispasat on 12 February 2019, as described in note 10.8.

This item regards the present value of provisions for the repair and replacement of motorway infrastructure, in accordance with the contractual commitments of the Group's motorway and airport operators.
The balance of these provisions is up €1,043,820 thousand, essentially due to the contribution of the Abertis group, totalling €691,843 thousand. After stripping out this factor, the increase of €351,977 thousand compared with 31 December 2017 primarily regards provisions (€397,399 thousand) made for demolition and reconstruction of the Polcevera road bridge. Further details on the costs incurred as a result of the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge are provided in note 8.17.
The provisions for the renewal of assets held under concession, including the current and non-current portions, amount to €357,062 thousand (€267,529 thousand as at 31 December 2017). They represent the present value of the estimated costs to be incurred for extraordinary maintenance, repairs and replacements under the contractual obligations provided for in the Atlantia Group's motorway and airport concession arrangements, with the objective of ensuring that the infrastructure is fit for purpose and safe. Compared with 31 December 2017, the provisions are up €89,533 thousand, essentially primarily due to provisions made during the year by ACA following an updated estimate of the present value of airport renewal work to be carried out in the future.
These provisions essentially regard estimates of liabilities, at the end of the period, expected to be incurred in connection with pending litigation and disputes, including the estimated expenses provisioned for contract reserves relating to contractors who carry out work other than new constructions. The overall balance is up €713,042 thousand, essentially due to first-time consolidation of the Abertis group, amounting to €653,010 thousand. This amount includes provisions relating to the investment in Alazor Inversiones SA, amounting to €228,258 thousand, and relating to financial guarantees provided by Iberbistas and Acesa to banks.
After stripping out this factor, the net increase of €60,032 thousand essentially reflects operating provisions for the year, following the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge on 14 August 2018, as described in note 8.17.
(non-current) €44,151,388 thousand (€15,969,835 thousand) (current) €4,070,988 thousand (€2,253,836 thousand)

The Group uses derivative financial instruments to hedge certain current and highly likely future financial liabilities, consisting of interest rate swaps (IRSs) classified as cash flow hedges pursuant to IFRS 9. The fair value of the hedging instruments as at 31 December 2018 is recognised in "Derivative liabilities". More detailed information on financial risks and the manner in which they are managed, in addition to details of outstanding financial instruments held by the Group, is contained in note 9.2.
(non-current) €20,871,885 thousand (€11,362,089 thousand) (current) €1,615,204 thousand (€1,118,502 thousand)
The item principally refers to: i) €11,029,430 thousand in bonds issued by Abertis group companies; ii) €7,964,113 thousand in bonds issued by Autostrade per l'Italia; iii) €1,733,843 in bonds issued by Atlantia; and €865,052 thousand in bonds issued by Aeroporti di Roma.
The overall increase of €10,006,498 thousand essentially reflects the change in the scope of consolidation following the first-time consolidation of the Abertis group (€10,960,499 thousand), partially offset by Atlantia's redemption of retail bonds, totalling €1,000,000 thousand.
The balance of this item, amounting to €22,900,069 thousand, including the current and non-current portions, is up €18,569,644 thousand compared with 31 December 2017 (€4,330,425 thousand). This essentially reflects the following:
A number of the Group's long-term borrowings include negative pledge provisions, in line with international practice. Under these provisions, it is not possible to create or maintain (unless required to do so by law) collateral guarantees on all or a part of any proprietary assets, with the exception of project debt. The above agreements also require compliance with certain financial covenants.
The method of selecting the variables to compute the ratios is specified in detail in the relevant loan agreements. Breach of these covenants, at the relevant measurement dates, could constitute a default event and result in the lenders calling in the loans, requiring the early repayment of principal, interest and of further sums provided for in the agreements.
The most important covenants are described below:

Atlantia Group's
Notes to the Atlantia Group's
In December 2018, Autostrade per l'Italia entered into an agreement with the EIB that provides for the suspension, until March 2020, of the application of certain provisions allowing the bank to withdraw from the loan agreement and request early repayment. This follows the reduction in the Company's ratings to below BBB and/or the Grantor's launch of formal proceedings that may result in early termination of the Single Concession Arrangement.
With regard to the financial commitments of the foreign project companies, the related debt does not envisage recourse to direct or indirect parents and is subject to covenants typical of international practice. The main commitments provide for a pledge on all the project companies' assets and receivables in favour of their creditors.
(non-current) €921,144 thousand (€565,575 thousand) (current) - (-)
This item represents fair value losses on outstanding derivatives as at 31 December 2018 and primarily includes:
Further details of derivative financial instruments entered into by the Group companies for hedging purposes are contained in note 9.2.
The balance of this item, including the current and non-current portions, is up €802,660 thousand, essentially due to the first-time consolidation of Abertis group companies.
The composition of short-term financial liabilities is shown below.

| Other current financial liabilitiesi | 495,129 | 73,630 |
| Short-term financial liabilities | 800,235 | 535,901 |
The balance is up €264,334 thousand compared with 31 December 2017, due primarily to first-time consolidation of the Abertis group (€439,827 thousand), partially offset by the repayment of short-term borrowings by Atlantia and Autostrade per l'Italia in 2018.

This item is up €555,885 thousand, with €319,233 thousand of the increase attributable to the first-time consolidation of Abertis. After stripping out this factor, the increase of €236,652 thousand essentially reflects the recognition of trading liabilities (€166,218 thousand) by the Chilean motorway operators, Ruta 78-68 and AVO II, in relation to the start-up of the activities provided for in their respective concession arrangements, entered into in 2018.

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
This section contains analyses of the most important consolidated income statement items. Negative components of the income statement are indicated with a minus sign in the headings and tables in the notes, whilst amounts for 2017 are shown in brackets. The results of operations and cash flow for 2018 include the contribution of the Abertis group, consolidated for the last two months of 2018, as described in note 6.2.
Details of amounts in the consolidated income statement deriving from related party transactions are provided in note 10.5.
"Toll revenue" of €4,992,213 thousand is up €796,955 thousand on 2017 (€4,195,258 thousand). After stripping out the impact of exchange rate movements, which in 2018 had a negative impact of €56,862 thousand, and the Abertis group's contribution, consolidated for the last two months of 2018, amounting to €754,327 thousand, toll revenue is up €99,490 thousand, primarily reflecting a combination of the following:
Aviation revenue of €834,036 thousand is up €41,459 thousand (5%) compared with 2017 (€792,577 thousand), primarily reflecting due to traffic growth at Aeroporti di Roma (passenger traffic up 4.2%) and at the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group (passenger traffic up 4.1%).

| Revenue from construction services | 518,019 | 417,551 | 100.468 |
Revenue from construction services essentially consists of construction services for which additional benefits are received and financial assets deriving from concession rights, represented by the fair value of the consideration due in return for the construction and upgrade services rendered in relation to assets held under concession during the year, determined on the basis of the operating costs and financial expenses incurred (the latter solely in relation to intangible assets deriving from concession rights) and the eventual margin on services provided by entities within the Atlantia Group.
Revenue from construction services is up €100,468 thousand compared with 2017. After stripping out the contribution from the Abertis group, totalling €138,838 thousand, the item is down by €38,370 thousand. This mainly relates to a reduction in construction services performed by the Chilean motorway operators, partially offset by increased investment in construction services by the Italian motorway operators.
In 2018, the Atlantia Group carried out additional construction services for which no additional benefits are received, amounting to €367,884 thousand, net of related government grants, for which the Group made use of a portion of the specifically allocated "Provisions for construction services required by contract". Uses of these provisions are classified as a reduction in operating costs for the period, as explained in note 8.10.

consolidated financial statements consolidated financial statements Other operating income of €1,082,847 thousand is up €111,789 thousand compared with 2017 (€971,058 thousand). After stripping out the Abertis group's contribution, amounting to €72,939 thousand, the increase is €38,850 thousand, essentially due to:
The Abertis group's contribution relates primarily to revenue from tolling products sold by Emovis and the sub-concession of space at service areas on the motorways operated by the French and Italian motorway operators.

This item, which consists of purchases of materials and the change in inventories of raw and consumable materials, is up €57,012 thousand on 2017, mainly due to an increase in costs incurred by Autostrade per l'Italia as a result of the start-up of work on the Gronda di Genova(the Genoa Bypass).

Service costs are up €203,800 thousand in 2018, compared with 2017. The change essentially reflects the contribution of the Abertis group, totalling €196,461 thousand, broadly in relation to investment during the last two months of 2018 by the Brazilian and French operators.

Staff costs of €1,086,021 thousand are up €96,755 thousand (€989,266 thousand in 2017). After stripping out the impact of the Abertis group's contribution (€109,631 thousand), the figure is down €12,876 thousand. This reflects a reduction in the fair value of management incentive plans and a reduction in the average workforce, partially offset by an increase in the average unit cost due to contract renewals.

Other operating costs, totalling €720,857 thousand, are up €98,765 thousand compared with the comparative period, primarily due to the contribution from the Abertis group, totalling €56,823 thousand. This essentially relates to indirect and direct taxation of €32,770 thousand recognised by the French motorway operators.
After stripping out this contribution, the increase of €41,942 thousand reflects:
This item consists of operating changes in provisions, excluding those for employee benefits (classified in staff costs), made during the period in order to meet legal and contractual obligations requiring the use of financial resources in future years.
The negative balance of €522,838 thousand reflects a combination of the following:
This item regards the use of provisions for construction services required by contract, relating to services for which no additional economic benefits are received rendered during the year, less accrued government grants (recognised in revenue from construction services, as explained in note 8.3). The item represents the indirect adjustment to construction costs classified by nature and incurred by the motorway operators, above all Autostrade per l'Italia, whose concesssion arrangements provide for such obligations. The reduction of €51,307 thousand, is broadly linked to reduced investment in the upgrade of the A1 Milan-Naples between Bologna and Florence. Further information on construction services and capital expenditure during the period is provided in notes 7.2 and 8.3.
The positive balance for 2018, totalling €69,294 thousand, essentially reflects the reversal of impairment losses on intangible assets deriving from concession rights previously recognised by Raccordo Autostradale Valle d'Aosta, totalling €78,700 thousand.

Atlantia Group's consolidated
Notes to the Atlantia Group's
Information on the legal and concession-related aspects of the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge (the "road bridge") on the A10 Genoa-Ventimiglia motorway, operated by Autostrade per l'Italia (the "operator"), on 14 August 2018 is provided in note 10.7.
Convinced that it has complied with its concession obligations and whilst awaiting the outcome of the ongoing investigation into the causes of the collapse, the operator has, in any event, an obligation to reconstruct the Polcevera road bridge under the terms of the existing Single Concession Arrangement. This obligation falls within the scope of provisions to be made to the "Provisions for the repair and replacement of motorway infrastructure", in application of the accounting standards and policies applied and described in note 3.
In particular, the provision made meets the requirements of IAS 37 in relation to provisions, being that:
Moreover, fulfilment of the obligation will not qualify for recognition of an intangible asset, either as a right deriving from construction services for which no additional economic benefits are received or as a right deriving from construction services for which additional benefits are received.
Autostrade per l'Italia has an obligation to reconstruct the infrastructure previously operated under concession and this reconstruction of the road bridge:
With regard to determining the obligation to repair the infrastructure, Law Decree 109 was issued on 28 September 2018, converted with amendments into Law 130 of 16 November 2018. Among other provisions, this contains urgent measures relating to the demolition and reconstruction of the road bridge and measures designed to support the local population and businesses affected by the collapse. The above legislation has also assigned sole authority for implementation of the measures to the Special Commissioner (the "Commissioner") and requires Autostrade per l'Italia to provide the Commissioner with the funds necessary in order to proceed with:
In a letter dated 21 December 2018, the Commissioner, making reference to the above decree and in execution thereof, informed Autostrade per l'Italia that:
a) he had executed notarial deeds for the purchase of civil and commercial buildings, and requesting payment of the provisional sum of €115 million;
With regard to the above, in accordance with the accounting treatment applicable had Autostrade per l'Italia proceeded directly to carry out the above activities based on the terms of the Single Concession Arrangement, the following principal effects of the events in question have been recognised in the consolidated income statement for 2018, including the costs incurred directly by Autostrade per l'Italia:
In addition to the above impact on Autostrade per l'Italia, other Atlantia Group companies have also incurred expenses directly relating to the events of 14 August 2018, as follows:
Finally, Autostrade per l'Italia's decision to exempt road users in the Genoa area from the payment of tolls also resulted in an estimated reduction in toll revenue of approximately €7 million.

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
With regard to the method of accounting for risks and charges connected with "direct" and "indirect" damages for which Autostrade per l'Italia may be liable, the following should be noted:
With regard to the "indirect damages", the opinions received provide useful, if not decisive, elements on which Autostrade per l'Italia has based its judgement as to how to account for the charges, as either provisions or a contingent liability. This means assessing the degree to which it is likely that an adverse outcome will occur as a result of the disputes and the possibility of arriving with reasonable certainty at an estimate of the size of the loss connected with the occurrence of this event.
The above technical and legal opinions have demonstrated that it is currently impossible to construct an ex ante hypothesis, and that it will be necessary to assess the concrete evidence that may emerge from time to time, and that, as to any identification of the entity responsible for the event, Autostrade per l'Italia has not been identified as being responsible for the occurrence of the event in any final court or out-of-court ruling.
Thus, based on the fact that:
and that, from an accounting point of view, the conditions set out in paragraph 14 of IAS 37 have not been met, it is not possible to recognise provisions in "Other provisions for risks and charges".
Finally, the above charges have been calculated excluding any insurance proceeds that may be received by Autostrade per l'Italia in the future in relation to the collapse, under the insurance cover obtained with regard to the collapsed road bridge.
The compensation payable is subject to uncertainty regarding both whether or not any damages are due and the size of any damages. As a result, it does not appear possible to estimate the related amounts, or the date on which any proceeds might be received, with the reasonable certainty necessary for recognition in these consolidated financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018.
It has thus been decided to prudently recognise provisions without deducting any potential insurance proceeds which, if and when they are effectively paid to Autostrade per l'Italia, can be recognised in revenue for the corresponding reporting period.
This accounting treatment is also backed by the authoritative opinion of an external expert.
On 23 January 2019, at the request of the Special Commissioner and without prejudice to the reservations expressed in correspondence with the Commissioner and in the legal challenges brought, Autostrade per l'Italia paid the sums requested to finance the expropriations necessary for demolition and reconstruction of the Polcevera road bridge (€114,913 thousand).
Finally, on 18 February 2019, at the request of the Special Commissioner, Autostrade per l'Italia paid the sums requested to finance the start of demolition and reconstruction of the Polcevera road bridge (€46,076 thousand net of VAT).
The following table shows the consolidated income statement for 2018, showing the non-recurring impact on each line item, as required by CONSOB resolution 15519 of 27 July 2006, resulting from the events of 14 August 2018. These non-recurring impacts include items recognised by Autostrade per l'Italia, Atlantia, Pavimental and Spea Engineering directly in relation to the above events, as described in detail above.

Consolidated cash flow in 2018, compared with 2017, is analysed below. The consolidated statement of cash flows is included in the "Consolidated financial statements".
Cash flows during 2018 resulted in a decrease of €540,718 thousand in cash and cash equivalents, (an increase of €2,227,167 thousand in 2017).
Operating activities generated cash flows of €2,944,405 thousand in 2018, up €528,321 thousand on the figure for 2017 (€2,416,084 thousand). The increase is primarily attributable to a combination of the following:
Cash used for investing activities, totalling €18,673,441 thousand, is linked to a combination of the following:
Cash from investing activities in the comparative period, amounting to €693,895 thousand, primarily including the proceeds from the sales of an 11.94% stake in Autostrade per l'Italia and of a 12.50% interest in Azzurra Aeroporti, amounting to €1,870,007 thousand, and from the sale of the investment in SAVE, totalling €220,646 thousand, partially offset by capital expenditure of €1,076,537 thousand.
The inflow from financing activities in 2018 amounts to €15,222,541 thousand, reflecting a combination of the following:

In the normal course of business, the Atlantia Group is exposed to:
The Atlantia Group's financial risk management strategy is derived from and consistent with the business goals set by the Atlantia Board of Directors, as contained in the various long-term plans prepared each year.
The adopted strategy for each type of risk aims, wherever possible, to eliminate interest rate and currency risks and minimise borrowing costs, whilst taking account of stakeholders' interests, as defined in the Financial Policy approved by Atlantia's Board of Directors.
Management of these risks is based on prudence and best market practice.
The main objectives set out in this policy are as follows:
The Atlantia Group's hedges are classified, in accordance with IFRS 9, as cash flow hedges, fair value hedges or hedges of a net investment in foreign operations, depending on the type of risk hedged and in accordance with the standard.
As at 31 December 2018, the notional amount of the Company's derivatives portfolio has increased by €7,079,703 thousand (a total of €17,304,309 thousand), with fair value losses of €749,123 thousand compared with €472,151 thousand in 2017. The increase primarily reflects first-time consolidation of the Abertis group, which holds derivatives with a notional value of €6,197,429 thousand.
the Group's portfolio also includes non-hedge accounting transactions, including the derivatives embedded in certain short-term borrowings obtained by Autostrade Meridionali and Pavimental, with a notional value of €278,532 thousand and fair value losses of €783 thousand.
Further details are provided in note 7.15.
Information on the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments is provided in note 3. Foreign currency amounts are converted into euros using the closing exchange rates published by the Bank of Italy.
The residual average term to maturity of the Group's debt as at 31 December 2018 is approximately 5 years and 11 months. The average cost of the Atlantia Group's medium/long-term debt for 2018 was 3.3% (reflecting a combination of 2.6% for the companies operating in the euro area, 5.1% for the Chilean companies and 9.0% for the Brazilian companies). Specific monitoring procedures have been implemented in order to assess, on a continuing basis, counterparty creditworthiness and the degree of risk concentration.
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
As a result of cash flow hedges, 67% of interest bearing debt is fixed rate.
Currency risk can result in the following types of exposure:
The Group's prime objective of currency risk is to minimise transaction exposure through the assumption of liabilities in currencies other than the functional currency. With the aim of eliminating the currency risk associated with the sterling and yen denominated bonds transferred to Autostrade per l'Italia as a result of the issuer substitution, the Group has entered into Cross Currency Swaps (CCIRS) with notional values and maturities equal to those of the underlying financial liabilities. These swaps also qualify as cash flow hedges and tests have not identified any ineffective hedges.
Following Atlantia's buyback of 99.87% of the sterling-denominated notes, amounting to £215 million, originally issued by Romulus Finance (a vehicle company controlled by Aeroporti di Roma and wound up in 2017 with the transfer of the liabilities assumed to the parent), the Cross Currency Swaps entered into by Atlantia and Aeroporti di Roma to hedge interest and currency risk associated with the underlying in foreign currency, no longer qualify for hedge accounting in the consolidated financial statements. 12.3% of the Group's debt is denominated in currencies other than the euro.
The following table summarises outstanding derivative financial instruments as at 31 December 2018 (compared with 31 December 2017) and shows the corresponding market and notional values of the hedged financial asset or liability.

Sensitivity analysis describes the impact that the interest rate and foreign exchange movements to which the Atlantia Group is exposed would have had on the consolidated income statement for 2018 and on equity as at 31 December 2018.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments at the end of the year, assuming, in terms of the impact on the income statement, a 0.10% (10 bps) shift in the market yield curve at the beginning of the year, whilst, with regard to the impact of changes in fair value on other comprehensive income, the 10 bps shift in the curve was assumed to have occurred at the measurement date. The results of the analyses were:

The Group believes that its ability to generate cash, the ample diversification of its sources of funding and the availability of committed and uncommitted lines of credit provides access to sufficient sources of finance to meet its projected financial needs.

The following schedules show the distribution of loan maturities outstanding as at 31 December 2018 and 31 December 2017. The amounts in the above tables include interest payments and exclude the impact of any offset agreements. The time distribution of terms to maturity is based on the residual contract term or on the earliest date on which repayment of the liability may be required, unless a better estimate is available. The distribution for transactions with amortisation schedules is based on the date on which each instalment falls due.

The Group manages credit risk essentially through recourse to counterparties with high credit ratings, with no significant credit risk concentrations as required by Financial Policy.
Credit risk deriving from outstanding derivative financial instruments can also be considered marginal in that the counterparties involved are major financial institutions. There are no margin agreements providing for the exchange of cash collateral if a certain fair value threshold is exceeded.
Provisions for impairment losses on individually material items, on the other hand, are established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all or any of the amount due. The amount of the provisions takes account of estimated future cash flows and the date of collection, any future recovery costs and expenses, and the value of any security and guarantee deposits received from customers. General provisions, based on the available historical and statistical data, are established for items for which specific provisions have not been made. Details of the allowance for bad debts for trade receivables are provided in note 7.7.
Article 1, paragraphs 125 to 129, of Law 124 of 4 August 2017 has introduced a number of measures designed to ensure the transparency of the government grants system.
In the Atlantia Group's case, the legislation translates into the obligation to disclose in the notes to its financial statements (paragraph 126) the grants received from:
The legislation provides for significant penalties for failure to comply with the disclosure requirement, involving repayment of the grants received (paragraph 125).

The Atlantia Group's operating segments are identified based on the information provided to and analysed by Atlantia's Board of Directors, which represents the Group's chief operating decision maker, taking decisions regarding the allocation of resources and assessing performance. In particular, the Board of Directors assesses the performance of the business in terms of geographical area and business segment. Following the consolidation of the Abertis group from the end of October 2018, and bearing in mind the acquired company's partial contribution for 2018, it was decided to present the above group as a single operating segment. In addition to the companies controlled by Abertis Infraestructuras (the company that directly or indirectly owns Spanish, French, Chilean, Brazilian, Argentine, Puerto Rican and Indian motorway operators, and the remaining companies that produce and operate tolling systems), this segment also includes the investment vehicles used in the acquisition (Abertis Participaciones and Abertis HoldCo). As a result, the Atlantia Group's new structure presents information for six main operating segments (Italian motorways, overseas motorways, Italian airports, overseas airports, the Abertis group and a specific operating segment that brings together the Parent Company, Atlantia, and the other remaining activities).
As at 31 December 2018 the composition of the Atlantia Group's operating segments is as follows:

Related party transactions do not include transactions of an atypical or unusual nature, and are conducted on an arm's length basis.
The principal transactions entered into by the Group with related parties are described below.
As at 31 December 2018, the Group is owed €6.7 million by the parent, Sintonia. This amount regards tax rebates claimed by Schemaventotto in prior years in respect of income taxes paid during the period in which this company headed the Group's tax consolidation arrangement.
During 2018, the Atlantia Group did not engage in material trading or financial transactions with its direct or indirect parents.
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
For the purposes of the above CONSOB Resolution, which applies the requirements of IAS 24, the Autogrill group ("Autogrill"), which is under the common control of Edizione Srl, is treated as a related party. With regard to relations between the Atlantia Group's motorway operators and the Autogrill group, it should be noted that, as at 31 December 2018, Autogrill operates 144 concessions at service areas along the Atlantia Group's motorway network and 14 food service concessions at the airports managed by the Atlantia Group. During 2018, the Atlantia Group earned revenue of approximately €87.9 million on transactions with Autogrill, including €76 million in royalties deriving from the management of service areas and airport sub-concessions. Recurring income is generated by contracts entered into over various years, of which a large part was awarded as a result of transparent and non-discriminatory competitive tenders. As at 31 December 2018, trading assets due from Autogrill amount to €33.4 million.
In order to incentivise and foster the loyalty of directors and/or employees holding key positions and responsibilities within Atlantia or in Group companies, and to promote and disseminate a value creation culture in all strategic and operational decision-making processes, driving the Group's growth and boosting management efficiency, a number of share incentive plans based on Atlantia's shares have been introduced in previous years. The plans entail payment in the form of shares or cash and are linked to the achievement of predetermined corporate objectives.
With the exception of the "Supplementary Incentive Plan 2017 – Phantom Share Options" described below, there were no changes, during 2018, in the share-based incentive plans already adopted by the Atlantia Group as at 31 December 2017.
Details of each plan are contained in specific information circulars prepared pursuant to art. 84-bis of CONSOB Regulation 11971/1999, as amended, and in the Remuneration Report prepared pursuant to art. 123 ter of the Consolidated Finance Act. These documents, to which reference should be made, are published in the "Remuneration" section of the website at www.atlantia.it.
The following table shows the main aspects of existing incentive plans as at 31 December 2017, including the options and units awarded to directors and employees of the Group at that date, and changes during 2017 (in terms of new awards and the exercise, conversion or lapse of rights). The table also shows the fair value (at the grant date) of each option or unit awarded, as determined by a specially appointed expert, using the Monte Carlo model and other assumptions. The amounts have been adjusted for the amendments to the plans originally approved, which were required to ensure plan benefits remained substantially unchanged despite the dilution caused by the bonus issues approved by the shareholders on 20 April 2011 and 24 April 2012.

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
As approved by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 20 April 2011, and amended by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 30 April 2013 and 16 April 2014, the 2011 Share Option Plan entails the award of up to 2,500,000 options free of charge in three annual award cycles (2011, 2012 and 2013). Each option will grant beneficiaries the right to purchase one ordinary Atlantia share held in treasury, with settlement involving either physical delivery or, at the beneficiary's option, a cash payment equivalent to the proceeds from the sale of the shares on the stock exchange organised and managed by Borsa Italiana SpA, after deduction of the full exercise price. The exercise price is equivalent to the average of the official prices of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the month prior to the date on which Atlantia's Board of Directors announces the beneficiary and the number of options to be awarded. The options granted will vest in accordance with the Plan terms and conditions and, in particular, only if, on expiration of the vesting period (three years from the date of award of the options to beneficiaries by the Board of Directors), cumulative FFO for the three annual reporting periods preceding expiration of the vesting period, adjusted for a number of specific items (total operating cash flow of the Group, Atlantia or of certain of its subsidiaries – depending on the role held by the various beneficiaries of the Plan), is higher than a pre-established target, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors, which has the authority to assign beneficiaries further targets.
Vested options may be exercised, in part, from the first day following expiration of the vesting period and, in part, from the end of the first year following expiration of the vesting period and, in any event, in the three years following expiration of the vesting period (subject to the clause in the Plan terms and conditions requiring executive Directors and key management personnel to retain a minimum holding). The maximum number of exercisable options will be calculated on the basis of a mathematical algorithm that takes account, among other things, of the current value and the exercise price, plus any dividends paid, so as to cap the realisable gain.
During 2018, with regard to the second and third award cycles (the vesting periods for both of which have expired), a number of beneficiaries exercised vested options and paid the established exercise price; this entailed the allocation to them of Atlantia's ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares. This resulted in the transfer of:
Thus, as at 31 December 2018, taking into account lapsed options at that date, the remaining options outstanding total 91,518, including 44,722 phantom options awarded under the third cycle (the unit fair value of which, as at 31 December 2018, was measured as €2.93 in place of the unit fair values at the grant date).
Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 30 April 2013, the 2011 Share Grant Plan entails the grant of up to 920,000 units free of charge in three annual award cycles (2011, 2012 and 2013). Each unit will grant beneficiaries the right to receive one Atlantia ordinary share held in treasury, with settlement involving either physical delivery or, at the beneficiary's option, a cash payment equivalent to the proceeds from the sale of the shares on the stock exchange organised and managed by Borsa Italiana SpA.
The units granted will vest in accordance with the Plan terms and conditions and, in particular, only if, on expiration of the vesting period (three years from the date the units are granted to beneficiaries by the Board of Directors), cumulative FFO for the three annual reporting periods preceding expiration of the vesting period, adjusted for a number of specific items (total operating cash flow of the Atlantia Group or of certain of its subsidiaries – depending on the role held by the various beneficiaries of the Plan) is higher than a pre-established target, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors. Vested units may be converted into shares, in part, after one year from the date of expiration of the vesting period and, in part, after two years from the date of expiration of the vesting period (subject to the clause in the Plan terms and conditions requiring executive Directors and key management personnel to maintain a minimum holding). The number of convertible units will be calculated on the basis of a mathematical algorithm that takes account, among other things, of the current value and initial value of the shares so as to cap the realisable gain.
On 14 November 2018, the remaining units awarded during the third award cycle (the vesting period for which expired on 9 November 2018) were converted, in accordance with the Plan Terms and Conditions, into Atlantia's ordinary shares. As a result, Plan beneficiaries received 97,336 shares held by the Company as treasury shares.
As at 31 December 2018, all the units awarded under this plan have thus lapsed.
On 16 April 2014, the Annual General Meeting of Atlantia's shareholders approved the new incentive plan named the "2014 Phantom Share Option Plan", subsequently also approved, within the scope of their responsibilities, by the boards of directors of the subsidiaries employing the beneficiaries. The plan entails the award of phantom share options free of charge in three annual award cycles (2014, 2015 and 2016), being options that give beneficiaries the right to payment of a gross amount in cash, computed on the basis of the increase in the value of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the relevant three-year period. In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the plan, the options granted will only vest if, at the end of the vesting period (equal to three years from the date on which the options were awarded to the beneficiaries by the Board of Directors), a minimum operating/financial performance target for (alternatively) the Group, the Company or for one or more of Autostrade per l'Italia's subsidiaries, as indicated for each Plan beneficiary (the "hurdle"), has been met or exceeded. The vested options may be exercised from, in part, the first day immediately following the vesting period, with the remaining part exercisable from the end of the first year after the end of the vesting period and, in any event, in the three years after the end of the vesting period (without prejudice to the Terms and Conditions of the plan as regards minimum holding requirements for executive directors and key management personnel). The number of exercisable options is to be computed in application of a mathematical algorithm, taking into account, among other things, the current value, the target value and the exercise price, in order to cap the realisable gain.

Atlantia Group's consolidated financial
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated
statements financial statements The vesting period for the second cycle of the Plan expired on 8 May 2018. A total of 1,610,589 vested options awarded under the second award cycle and the first cycle were exercised in 2018. Thus, as at 31 December 2018, after taking into account lapsed options at that date, the remaining options outstanding amount to 4,415,536. The unit fair values of the options awarded under the first, second and third award cycles were remeasured as at 31 December 2018 as €6.01, €1.20 and €1.34, respectively, in place of the unit fair values at the grant date.
On 21 April 2017, the Annual General Meeting of Atlantia's shareholders approved the new incentive plan named the "2017 Phantom Share Option Plan", subsequently also approved, within the scope of their responsibilities, by the boards of directors of the subsidiaries employing the beneficiaries. The Plan entails the award of phantom share options free of charge in three annual award cycles (2017, 2018 and 2019), to be awarded to directors and employees with key roles within the Group. The options grant beneficiaries the right to payment of a gross amount in cash, computed on the basis of the increase in the value of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the relevant period.
In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Plan, the options granted will only vest if, at the end of the vesting period (15 June 2020 for options awarded in 2017, 15 June 2021 for options awarded in 2018 and 15 June 2022 for options awarded in 2019), one or more minimum operating/financial performance targets for (alternatively) the Group, the Company or one or more of Atlantia's subsidiaries, as indicated for each Plan beneficiary (the "hurdle"), have been met or exceeded. A portion of the vested options may be exercised from the 1 July immediately following the end of the vesting period, with the remaining options exercisable from the end of the first year after the end of the vesting period and, in any event, in the three years from 1 July of the year in which the vesting period ends (without prejudice to the Terms and Conditions of the Plan as regards minimum holding requirements for executive directors and key management personnel). The number of exercisable options is to be computed in application of a mathematical algorithm, taking into account, among other things, the current value, the target value and the exercise price, in order to cap the realisable gain.
On 3 August 2018, Atlantia's Board of Directors selected the beneficiaries for the second cycle of the Plan in question. This resulted in the award of a total of 1,761,076 phantom options with a vesting period from 3 August 2018 – 15 June 2021 and an exercise period from 1 July 2021 to 1 July 2024.
As at 31 December 2018, after taking into account lapsed options at that date, the remaining options outstanding amount to 3,666,525. The unit fair values of the options for the first and second award cycles at that date were remeasured as €1.83 and €1.67, respectively, in place of the unit fair value at the grant date.
This plan, approved by the General Meeting of Atlantia's shareholders on 2 August 2017, was designed to provide incentives for a limited number of core people particularly involved in the process of building and creating value at the new Atlantia Group that would have been formed following the acquisition of control of Abertis, had Atlantia's public tender offer been successful. No options were granted in 2017 whilst awaiting the outcome of Atlantia's public tender offer.
In view of the fact that the structure of the transaction changed in 2018, following the agreements reached with ACS and Hochtief regarding the acquisition of Abertis, and the resulting withdrawal of Atlantia's
public tender offer, Atlantia's Annual General Meeting, held on 20 April 2018, voted to modify certain definitions in the plan and reduce the maximum number of options (as defined below) from 7.5 million to 5 million.
Following the changes made by the above Annual General Meeting, therefore, the plan entails the award of up to 5 million phantom share options free of charge, in a single cycle and within 3 months of the date of the acquisition of control of Abertis (being options that give beneficiaries the right to payment of a gross amount in cash). The options are to be awarded to the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, limited to core people involved the integration process and the creation of value for the Atlantia Group.
The options awarded will vest in accordance with the specified Terms and Conditions and may in part be exercised from the first day immediately after the vesting period, with the remaining options exercisable at the end of the first year following the end of the vesting period, and in any event in the three years following the expiry of this period (without prejudice to the provisions of the Plan Terms and Conditions as regards minimum holding requirements for executive directors and key management personnel). The number of exercisable options is to be computed in application of a mathematical algorithm, taking into account, among other things, the current value, the target value and the exercise price, in order to cap the realisable gain.
Following completion of the acquisition of control of Abertis, on 29 October 2018, the conditions for award of the options to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer had been met. The remaining beneficiaries were then approved in a later resolution of Atlantia's Board of Directors at a meeting held on 18 January 2019, which awarded a total of 4,134,833 phantom options, vesting between 29 October 2018 and 29 October 2021, and exercisable between 30 October 2021 and 29 October 2024. The unit fair value of the options as at 31 December 2018 was remeasured as €1.80 in place of the unit fair value at the grant date.
On 21 April 2017, the Annual General Meeting of Atlantia's shareholders approved the new incentive plan named the "2017 Phantom Share Grant Plan", subsequently also approved, within the scope of their responsibilities, by the boards of directors of the subsidiaries employing the beneficiaries. The Plan entails the award of phantom shares free of charge in three annual award cycles (2017, 2018 and 2019), to be awarded to directors and employees with key roles within the Group. The units grant beneficiaries the right to payment of a gross amount in cash, computed on the basis of the value of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the period prior to the period in which the units are awarded.
In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Plan, the units granted will only vest if, at the end of the vesting period (15 June 2020 for units granted in 2017, 15 June 2021 for units granted in 2018 and 15 June 2022 for units granted in 2019), one or more minimum operating/financial performance targets for (alternatively) the Group, the Company or one or more of Atlantia's subsidiaries, as indicated for each Plan beneficiary (the "hurdle"), have been met or exceeded. A portion of the vested units will be convertible from the 1 July immediately following the end of the vesting period, with the remaining options exercisable from the end of the first year of the exercise period and, in any event, in the three years from 1 July of the year in which the vesting period ends (without prejudice to the Terms and Conditions of the Plan as regards minimum holding requirements for executive directors and key management personnel). The number of exercisable options is to be computed in application of a mathematical algorithm, taking into account, among other things, the current value and initial value of the shares, in order to cap the realisable gain.
Atlantia Group's consolidated
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated
financial statements financial statements On 3 August 2018, Atlantia's Board of Directors selected the beneficiaries for the second cycle of the Plan in question. This resulted in the award of a total of 181.798 units, vesting in the period from 3 August 2018 to 15 June 2021 and exercisable in the period from 1 July 2021 to 1 July 2024.
As at 31 December 2018, after taking into account lapsed units at that date, the remaining units outstanding amount to 356,985. The unit fair values of the options from the first and second award cycles were remeasured as €19.29 and €18.06, respectively, in place of the unit fair values at the grant date.
The official prices of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the various periods covered by the above plans are shown below:
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2, as a result of existing plans, in 2018 the Group has recognised staff costs of €1,275 thousand, based on the accrued fair value of the options and units awarded at that date, including €519 thousand accounted for as a decrease in equity reserves. In contrast, the liabilities represented by phantom share options outstanding as at 31 December 2018, have been recognised in other current and non-current liabilities, based on the assumed exercise date.
This section describes the main disputes outstanding and key regulatory aspects of importance to Atlantia Group companies.
Current disputes are unlikely to give rise to significant charges for Group companies in excess of the provisions already accounted for in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018.
The Minister of Infrastructure and Transport (the "MIT") and Minister of the Economy and Finance (the "MEF") issued decrees on 29 December 2017, determining toll increases with effect from 1 January 2018. These are as follows:
On 7 February 2019, Lazio Regional Administrative Court annulled the Decree contested by Autostrada Tirrenica regarding toll increases for 2018. Similar judgements were also handed down on the same date for the years 2014, 2016 and 2017, requiring the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and Minister of the Economy and Finance to review their response to the company's proposals in accordance with legal requirements and the concession arrangement. In addition, in another judgement on the same date, Lazio Regional Administrative Court, in response to the interministerial decree revoking suspension of the toll increase for 2013, ruled that the challenge was inadmissible in the absence of any interest in proceeding, recognising the jurisdiction of the ordinary court system with regard to a decision regarding compensation for the company's lost revenue during the period of the suspension;
e) Tangenziale di Napoli was to apply a toll increase of 4.31%, including recovery of amounts not applied in previous years, compared with the 1.93% requested. This application was granted on the basis of the new financial plan attached to the Addendum, signed digitally on 22 February 2018. This came into effect with the approval of Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and Ministry of the Economy and Finance Decree 131 of 16 March 2018, registered at the Court of Auditors on 23 April 2018.
In the case of Traforo del Monte Bianco, which operates under a different regulatory regime, the Intergovernmental Committee for the Mont Blanc Tunnel gave the go-ahead for a toll increase of 1.09% for 2018. This is based on the average of the inflation rates registered in Italy and France from 1 September 2016 to 31 August 2017, in addition to an extra 0.95% increase determined by the Committee. From 1 April 2018, the toll for all Euro 3 heavy goods vehicles, of more than 3.5 tonnes, was increased by 5%.

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
The MIT and MEF issued decrees on 31 December 2018, determining toll increases with effect from 1 January 2019. These are as follows:
In the case of Traforo del Monte Bianco which operates under a different regulatory regime, the Intergovernmental Committee for the Mont Blanc Tunnel awarded a toll increase of 1.78% for 2019. This is based on the average of the inflation rates registered in Italy (1.57%) and France (1.98%), plus 0.95% linked to the extraordinary increase for the Frejus Tunnel and also applied to Traforo del Monte Bianco.
On 15 June 2018, Autostrade per l'Italia submitted a proposal to the Grantor regarding a five-year update of its financial plan, which will subsequently be formalised as an addendum to the current Arrangement.
The Transport Regulator (ART) issued a determination on 20 February 2019, initiating a consultation designed to establish a tariff regime using a consistently applied method based on a price cap mechanism. Rather than establishing the criteria solely to be used in determining the productivity indicator, as provided for in Law Decree 109 of 28 September 2018, converted into Law 130 of 16 November 2018, the regulator's determination proposes to modify the entire tariff regime for motorway concession arrangements, introducing new criteria for determining the components of tolls. The determination also envisages the application of this new regime not only to motorway operators for which the five-year regulatory period expired after the entry into force of Law Decree 109/2018, and for which the related update has yet to be finalised, but also to operators, such as Autostrade per l'Italia, whose regulatory period expired before the entry into force of the above Law Decree and for which the five-yearly review of the financial plan is still in progress.
The deadline for submitting observations is 29 March 2019, whilst the procedure is scheduled to be completed by 28 June 2019. The company is considering what legal action to take in order to protect its interests.
In 2012, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport issued a call for tenders for the new concession for the A3 Naples – Pompei – Salerno motorway. On 22 March 2016, the Ministry announced its intention to exclude the two competing bidders, Autostrade Meridionali and Consorzio Stabile SIS, from the tender process. This gave rise to a complex dispute that was finally brought to a close by the Council of State judgement published on 25 February 2019, which upheld the judgement at first instance, confirming both companies' disqualification.
With regard to the accident that occurred on 28 July 2013, a total of twelve employees and former employees of the Company were committed for trial in 2016 charged with being accessories to culpable multiple manslaughter and criminal negligence.
At the hearing held on 9 May 2016, the judge committed all the accused for trial before a single judge at the Court of Avellino.
Evidence began to be heard during the hearing of 28 October 2016, with the final hearing held on 11 January 2019, when the judgement was read.
Specifically, the court found the accused who at the time of the accident held the roles of Autostrade per l'Italia's Chief Executive Officer, General Manager for Operations & Maintenance, Head of the "Road Surfaces and Safety Barriers" unit, Head of the "Safety Barriers, Laboratories and RD" operations unit and the two Coordinators at the VI Section Operations Centre in Cassino not guilty pursuant to art. 530, paragraph 1 of the code of criminal procedure, as they are innocent of the crime of which they were accused. Instead, the then managers and heads of operations at the VI Section office in Cassino were found guilty. The court fixed a term of 90 days for the court to file its reasons for the judgement. To date, almost all of the civil parties whose entry of appearance in the criminal trial was admitted had previously been paid compensation and had, therefore, withdrawn their actions following payment of their claims by Autostrade per l'Italia's insurance provider under the existing general liability policy.
In addition to the criminal proceedings, a number of civil actions have been brought by persons not party to the criminal trial. These actions have been combined by the Civil Court of Avellino. Following the combination of the various proceedings, judgement is thus pending before the Civil Court of Avellino in relation to: (i) the original action brought by Reale Mutua Assicurazioni, the company that insured the coach, in order to make the maximum claim payable available to the damaged parties, including Autostrade per l'Italia (€6 million), (ii) subsequent claims, submitted as counterclaims or on an individual basis, by a number of damaged parties, including claims against Autostrade per l'Italia. Subject
Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
to the permission of the court, Autostrade per l'Italia intends to refer claimants to its insurance provider (Swiss Re International), with a view to being indemnified against any claims should it lose the case. Preliminary hearings before the civil court were held between 20 October 2016 and 12 July 2018. At the hearing of 18 January 2018, the court reserved judgement.
In response to repeated claims made by Mr. Alessandro Patanè and the companies linked to him, in 2013, Autostrade per l'Italia and Autostrade Tech served a writ on Mr. Patanè before the Court of Rome, with the aim of having the claims examined and declared groundless based on ownership of the software used in the SICVe system.
On appearing before the court, Mr. Patanè filed a counterclaim, in which he claimed compensation for the damages allegedly suffered.
The Court of Rome issued judgement 120/2019, declaring Mr. Patanè's counterclaim to be inadmissible as it had been filed late, and ruling that the claim for fraud forming part of the same legal action was also inadmissible.
The court also rejected the writ served by Autostrade per l'Italia and Autostrade Tech, with the aim of having the court reject the claims for damages brought by the other party, as there as insufficient evidence to prove ownership of the software.
Autostrade per l'Italia and Autostrade Tech have appealed this judgement before the Court of Appeal in Rome.
On 4 November 2015, the First Civil Section of the Supreme Court handed down judgement no. 22563, rejecting Autostrade per l'Italia's appeal regarding the fact that Craft's patent should be declared null and void and partially annulling the earlier sentence of the Court of Appeal in Rome, referring the case back to this court, to be heard by different judges, following the reinstatement of proceedings by one of the parties. The Court of Appeal was asked to provide logical grounds for finding that Autostrade per l'Italia has not infringed Craft's patent.
On 10 April 2018, the Court of Appeal in Rome handed down judgement no. 2275/2018, ruling, without the aid of expert evidence, that the TUTOR system installed by Autostrade per l'Italia constitutes an infringement (due to its equivalence to) Craft's patent.
The Court also ordered Autostrade per l'Italia to remove and destroy all existing equipment installed on the motorways it operates that is in violation of Craft's patent (prohibiting it future sale or use), and imposing a civil penalty of €500 to be paid by Autostrade per l'Italia for every day it fails to comply with the above order.
The Court also rejected Craft's claim for economic damages and its claim for the return of any profits as, in the Court's opinion, the Tutor system does generate earnings for the road operator, even in terms of cost savings.
There was no award of non-economic damages as there is no proof that the infringement has damaged Craft's image.
Autostrade per l'Italia has appealed judgement no. 2275/2018 handed down by the Court of Appeal in Rome before the Supreme Court, believing it to be unlawful, and requesting suspensive relief before the Court of Appeal of Rome and requesting an ex partedecision by the court.
On 28 May 2018, Court of Appeal of Rome rejected the request for suspensive relief.
The judges ruled that motorway safety was not a question of Autostrade per l'Italia's interest, but the interests of the institutions (the police) and, as such, the safety of road users cannot, in Autostrade per l'Italia's case, constitute serious prejudice pursuant to art. 373 of the code of civil procedure.
In addition, the judges stated that within the scope of the responsibilities assigned by art. 14 of the highway code, the operator is under no obligation to install speed check systems, but is responsible for the safety of the infrastructure (as Autostrade per l'Italia is solely responsible for its maintenance).
The judges ruled that there were no grounds to pass the case on to the public prosecutor in relation to Craft's claim that the company had infringed its patent, given that the various judgements had so far failed to agree and that the appeal was pending before the Supreme Court.
Faced with the need to comply with the judgement, the SICVE software used in Autostrade per l'Italia's systems was uninstalled, subject to independent certification of compliance. Based on the needs of the traffic police, a new system for conducting the speed checks required by the Highway Code, called SICVe-PM, has been made available to the traffic police.
On 5 September 2018, CRAFT filed a motion before with Court of Appeal in pursuant to art. 288 of the code of civil procedure, requesting that the Court's judgement no. 2275/2018 be corrected in respect of the ruling that imposed a civil penalty of €500 to be paid by Autostrade per l'Italia for every day it failed to comply with the judgement, without specifying that the fine, according to CRAFT, referred to "any system covered by the claims brought by Craft regarding its patent and, therefore, any dual system using "speed cameras on entry" / "speed cameras on exit" recording one carriageway or a section of motorway in one direction regardless of the number of lanes per carriageway in that section". This motion was rejected on 9 October 2018.
On 9 November 2018, CRAFT notified the company of two injunctions executing judgement no. 2275/2018 issued by the Court of Appeal in Rome, relating to the part imposing a civil fine of €500 to be paid by Autostrade per l'Italia for every day it failed to comply with the judgement and to the part ordering the Company to remove and destroy the equipment.
The company responded to the first injunction by appealing for relief, which was turned down by court order on 13 February 2019. The Company will appeal this decision.
In the meantime, CRAFT has notified the company that is has obtained seizure orders for a number of the company's current accounts with several banks. The hearing to distribute the sums involved has been scheduled for 4 April 2019.
The company contested the action, including the seizure order. The preliminary hearing has been scheduled for 4 April 2019.
With regard to the second injunction, CRAFT has filed an appeal before the Court of Appeal in Rome pursuant to art. 124 of the code of Industrial property Code (Corrective measures and civil fines), initiating the process of verifying compliance with the obligations resulting from the judgement handed down by the Court of Appeal in Rome on 10 April 2018. The preliminary hearing has been scheduled for 12 March 2019.
A criminal case (initiated in 2007) pending before the Court of Florence involves two employees who at the time of the events were managers at Autostrade per l'Italia and another 18 people from contractors, who are accused of violating environmental laws relating to the reuse of soil and rocks resulting from excavation work during construction of the Variante di Valico. The process of hearing depositions was completed on 30 October 2017.
At the hearing of 30 October 2017, the court acquitted the two managers from Autostrade per l'Italia in accordance with art. 530, paragraph I of the criminal code, based on the fact that there was no case to answer and setting a term of 90 days for the court to file the reasons for its judgement.

On 9 March 2017, the collapse of a bridge on the SP10, as it crosses the A14 motorway at km 235+794, caused the deaths of the driver and a passenger in a car and injuries to three workers employed by a subcontractor of Pavimental SpA, to which Autostrade per l'Italia had previously awarded the contract for the widening to three lanes of the Rimini North–Porto Sant'Elpidio section of the A14 Bologna-Bari-Taranto motorway. Autostrade per l'Italia's legal representative was subsequently sent a notice of investigation issued by the Public Prosecutor's Office in Ancona. The investigation regards the alleged offence provided for in articles 25septies, paragraphs 2 and 3, 6 and 7 of Legislative Decree 231/2001 (Art. 25septies "Culpable homicide and negligent injury or grievous bodily harm resulting from breaches of occupational health and safety regulations"; art. 6 "Senior management and the entity's organisational models"; art. 7 "Subordinates and the entity's organisational models") regarding the offences provided for in art. 589, paragraph 2 of the penal code ("Culpable homicide resulting from breaches of occupational health and safety regulations") and art. 590, paragraph 3 of the penal code ("Culpable injury resulting from breaches of occupational accident prevention").
In connection with this event, a number of Autostrade per l'Italia's managers and employees are under investigation pursuant to articles 113, 434, paragraph 2 and 449 of the penal code ("accessory to culpable collapse"), 113 and 589, last paragraph of the penal code ("accessory to culpable multiple manslaughter"), 113 and 590, paragraph 3 of the penal code ("accessory to culpable multiple injury").
In September 2018, the technical experts appointed by the Public Prosecutor's Office filed their reports. On 14 December 2018, the prosecutors filed notice of completion of their preliminary investigation and requested that the case against Autostrade per l'Italia SpA's three managers be dismissed.
A section of the Polcevera road bridge in Genoa collapsed on 14 August 2018, resulting in the deaths of 43 people. The causes of this tragic incident have yet to be identified at the date of approval of this Annual Report.
On 16 August 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport sent Autostrade per l'Italia a letter of complaint before conducting any form of prior investigation into the causes of the collapse or who was responsible. The letter alleged that the company had committed serious breaches of its contractual obligations regarding routine and extraordinary maintenance and of its obligation to ensure that the road was in good working condition. As a result, the Ministry declared that it was appropriate "to activate the procedures provided for in articles 8, 9 and 9 bisof the Concession Arrangement".
In its response dated 31 August 2018, and in the subsequent letter dated 13 September 2018, Autostrade per l'Italia presented its counterarguments, rejecting the accusation that it had failed to meet its contractual obligations and, in addition, asserting that any decision by the Ministry to activate the procedures provided for in articles 8, 9 and 9 bis of the Concession Arrangement was inadmissible and without effect.
The Inspection Committee appointed by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport then published its report on the collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge on 25 September 2018. A subsequent letter from Autostrade per l'Italia, dated 5 October 2018, highlighted a number of concerns regarding both procedural aspects and the merits of the Committee's conclusions.
Subsequently, in a letter dated 20 December 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport added further to its letter of complaint and, in accordance with the procedure required under the arrangement, requested the company to provide further counterarguments, specifically in relation to information on aspects regarding the system used to monitor infrastructure and the potential causes of the collapse. The latter gave the company 120 days to respond.
The company believes, in part based on the opinion of leading experts, that communications with the Grantor do not qualify as the initial act in the procedure leading to termination of the concession, in accordance with art. 9 of the Single Concession Arrangement.
In parallel, Law Decree 109 was published on 28 September 2018 and later converted into Law 130 of 16 November 2018. The legislation contains a range of urgent measures for the city of Genoa and:
Legal challenges brought by Autostrade per l'Italia before Liguria Regional Administrative court Autostrade per l'Italia has brought an action before Liguria Regional Administrative Court challenging the legislation contained in Law Decree 109 of 2018 and subsequent implementing measures, without applying for injunctive relief, the Cabinet Office Decree of 4 October 2018 appointing the Special Commissioner, and certain implementing decrees issued by the Commissioner relating to demolition and reconstruction of the bridge and the connected activities, contesting their legality, including from a constitutional viewpoint.
The hearing of 27 February 2019 has been rescheduled for 22 May 2019.
At the same time, Autostrade per l'Italia, in its acknowledged role as the operator, has handed over the sums requested by the Special Commissioner in order to fund the purchase of homes and business premises, and payments on account to the firms contracted to carry out the demolition and reconstruction and project management. The company has also committed to making available the remaining sums requested by the Special Commissioner as the work progresses.
The collapse of a section of the Polcevera road bridge has resulted in criminal action before the Court of Genoa against 9 Autostrade per l'Italia SpA personnel, including executives and other people employed at the company's Rome headquarters and the relevant area office in Genoa. The action also regards a further 12 employees and managers at SPEA Engineering, the Atlantia Group company contracted to monitor the state of the infrastructure, and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, in relation to offences provided for in articles: 449-434 of the criminal code ("accessory to culpable collapse"); 449-432 of the criminal code ("violation of transport safety regulations aggravated by culpable disaster"); 589-bis, paragraph 1 of the criminal code ("culpable vehicular homicide"); 590-bis, paragraph 1 of the criminal code ("grievous or very grievous bodily harm caused by road traffic violations"); 589, paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the criminal code ("culpable homicide resulting from breaches of occupational health and safety
Atlantia Group's consolidated
Notes to the Atlantia Group's
financial statements consolidated financial statements regulations"); 590, paragraphs 1, 3 and 4 of the criminal code ("negligent injury resulting from breaches of occupational health and safety regulations").
With specific regard to the last two offences, Autostrade per l'Italia is also under investigation pursuant to art. 25septies of Legislative Decree 231/2001, relating to "Culpable homicide or grievous or very grievous bodily harm resulting from breaches of occupational health and safety regulations".
Subsequently, on 12 September 2018, the preliminary investigating magistrate (Giudice per le Indagini Preliminari) requested a pre-trial hearing to appoint experts to prepare a report on conditions at the disaster scene, to assess the state of repair and maintenance of the infrastructure that did not collapse and of the parts of the road bridge that did collapse and have yet to be removed, and to identify and reach agreement with the relevant authorities on procedures for the removal of debris and for demolition, so as to preserve the evidence needed for the purposes of the investigation.
The work of the experts began on 2 October 2018 and is still in progress.
At the hearing held on 8 February 2019, the preliminary investigating magistrate upheld the request from the counsel defending Autostrade per l'Italia's personnel to discuss the translated versions of the expert reports prepared by the specially appointed laboratories with the other parties.
At the hearing of 15 February 2019, the preliminary investigating magistrate appointed an interpreter to translate the above expert reports and counsel for the defendants appointed their own technical consultants.
Finally, the preliminary investigating magistrate has scheduled a hearing for 27 March 2019 in order to discuss the expert reports and for 8 April 2019 to receive an update on the work carried out by the experts.
From 1 January 2018, Grupo Costanera's motorway operators applied the following annual toll increases, determined on the basis of their concession arrangements:
From 1 January 2018, the tolls applied by Los Lagos rose 3.4%, reflecting a combination of the increase linked to inflation in 2017 (1.9%) and a further increase in the form of a bonus relating to safety improvements in 2018 (5.0%), less the bonus for safety improvements awarded in 2017 (3.5%). On 9 May 2018, Nororiente finalised an addendum with Chile's Ministry of Public Works regarding implementation of a free flow tolling system to replace the previous manual system, with compensation, at a pre-set rate, for loss of revenue due to toll evasion. Compensation will, at the Ministry's discretion, take the form of a 10-month extension of the concession term or a cash payment at the end of the original concession term. The new free-flow tolling system entered service on 28 July 2018.
From 1 January 2019, Grupo Costanera's motorway operators applied the following annual toll increases, determined on the basis of their concession arrangements:
From January 2018, the tolls applied by Los Lagos were reduced by 0.1%, reflecting a combination of the increase linked to inflation in 2018 (2.8%) and a reduction in the bonus for safety improvements (the bonus of 2.0% for 2019, less the bonus for safety improvements awarded in 2018, amounting to 5.0%).
Grupo Costanera, has been awarded the concession for the Américo Vespucio Oriente II project, which regards the construction and operation of a 5-km section of tunnel for the orbital motorway in the city of Santiago, using a free-flow tolling system. The estimated cost of construction is approximately €490 million. The concession was awarded in July 2017, while on 5 April 2018 the Supreme Decree awarding the concession, and signed by the President of the Republic of Chile, was published in the Official Gazette, following prior approval by the Chilean Court of Auditors. This date marks the beginning of the concession term, which is linked to the achievement of specific pre-set revenue milestones after discounting to present value. The term may not, in any event, exceed 45 years.
Grupo Costanera, has been awarded the concession for the Vial Ruta 78-68 Connection project, involving construction and operation of a new 9.2-km section of urban, free-flow toll motorway in the city of Santiago. The new road will link Ruta 78 with Ruta 68, the two main roads connecting Santiago with the ports of Valparaiso and San Antonio, and will be connected with the section already operated under concession by Costanera Norte. The estimated cost of the project is approximately €210 million1 . The concession was awarded in February 2018, while on 21 April 2018 the Supreme Decree awarding the concession, and signed by the President of the Republic of Chile, was published in the Official Gazette, following prior approval by the Chilean Court of Auditors. This date marks the beginning of the concession term, which is linked to the achievement of specific pre-set revenue milestones after discounting to present value. The term may not, in any event, exceed 45 years.
From 1 July 2018, Triangulo do Sol and Rodovias das Colinas applied their annual toll increase of 2.9% based on the rate of general price inflation in the period between 1 June 2017 and 31 May 2018, as provided for in the respective concession arrangements. This reflects the fact that this figure was lower than the rate of consumer price inflation in the same period (4.3%). The difference will be adjusted for in accordance with the concession arrangement.
From 31 May 2018, the toll exemption for vehicles with raised axles was extended to the State of Sao Paulo. This measure was adopted by the federal government to settle the truck drivers' strike that began on 21 May 2018. The lost income will be adjusted for to compensate the operator.
The tolls applied by the operator, Rodovia MG050, were raised by 2.8% from 13 June 2018, based on the rate of consumer price inflation in the period between 1 May 2017 and 30 April 2018, as provided for in the concession arrangement.
On completion of the consultation with airport users, on 22 December 2017, the Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) announced the airport fees for Fiumicino and Ciampino for the period 1 March 2018 - 28 February 2019. The fees for Fiumicino and Ciampino fell by an average of 0.7% and 4%, respectively, compared with the fees for 20173 . ( 2)

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements
On 7 August 2018, Aeroporti di Roma ("ADR") began a consultation process, involving the users of Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, on the proposed revision of regulated fees for the 2019 annual period (1 March 2019-29 February 2020). The procedure meets existing Italian and EU requirements and is in line with the guidelines in the "Procedure for consultation between airport operators and users for ordinary planning agreements and those in derogation" issued by ENAC on 31 October 2014. In order to ensure the maximise the involvement of users, on 10 August 2018, ADR published the information documents setting out the proposed fees for 2019 on its website.
The consultation process came to a conclusion on 5 November 2018. During the process, ADR responded to the observations received from users by the deadlines announced at the beginning of the procedure. On 24 December 2018, having completed its review conducted as part of the tariff revision process for 2019, ENAC announced that it had approved the new airport fees to be applied by the two Rome airports from 1 March 2019. The fees were then published on the authority's website.
The revised fees for the period 1 March 2019 - 29 February 2020 envisage a 1.4% reduction for Fiumicino airport and a 2.2% increase for Ciampino with respect to the fees currently in force3 . 4
On 2 May 2017, Alitalia – Società Aerea Italiana SpA ("Alitalia") was placed into extraordinary administration.
Law Decree 38 of 27 April 2018 introduced urgent measures modifying the terms of the procedure for selling the industrial assets owned by Alitalia. The Decree extended the deadline for completion of the sale procedures from 30 April 2018, previously set by Law Decree 148/2017 ("Urgent financial measures and measures relating to non-deferrable needs"), until 31 October 2018. As a result, the term for full repayment of the interest-bearing government loan to the company in extraordinary administration, amounting to €900 million, was extended until 15 December 2018.
Art. 2 of Law Decree 135 of 14 December 2018 (the so-called Simplification Decree) then modified the terms of repayment of the government loan to Alitalia, requiring the loan to be repaid within 30 days of the effective date of the sale of the assets in accordance with the procedures set out in art. 50 of Law Decree 50 of 24 April 2017 and, in any event, no later than 30 June 2019.
Finally, the Ministerial Decree of 5 December 2018, regarding "Replacement of the special commissioner for the Alitalia SAI group companies in extraordinary administration", appointed Daniele Discepolo special commissioner, with immediate effect, in place of Luigi Gubitosi.
On 14 July 2018, a decree was published by the French Minister of Transport who, within the scope of the Minister's powers, has established the criteria for determining the fees payable in return for the airport services provided by the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group ("ACA").
Specifically, the decree (i) defines and differentiates the scope of regulated and non-regulated activities (essentially commercial and real estate activities, with the exception of car parks that come under regulated
3 Based on the ratio between the maximum permitted revenue and fee-paying passengers for the twelve months from 1 March.
activities), and (ii) establishes a tariff regulation mechanism for activities regulated by a price cap system (plafond tarifaire) linked to inflation, notwithstanding the limit on the allowed return on invested capital. The decree thus establishes a stable and predictable regulatory framework for the period of the airport concession term, which may be reflected both in annual tariff increases and in the context of annual regulatory agreements lasting five years, which in any event are subject to approval by the Independent Supervisory Authority.
However, in spite of the provisions in the Decree and ACA's submission of a tariff proposal for the period November 2018 – October 2019, in January 2019, the Independent Supervisory Authority refused to endorse the proposed tariffs, adopted the same approach with other French airports. ACA has challenged this refusal before the French Council of State.
Even whilst the challenge is pending, the authority may independently set tariffs for the relevant tariff period, in accordance with the legislation in force. ACA will also have the option of challenging this decision.
In the meantime, and without prejudice to the legal challenge, the authority has entered into a consultation process with ACA, the grantor, France's Civil Aviation Authority and the Users' Committee, based on its own tariff proposal.
In the meantime, the existing tariffs will continue to apply.
Following the withholding of payment by the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority ("MDX") for the on site and office system management and maintenance services provided by ETC, on 28 November 2012 ETC petitioned the Miami Dade County Court in Florida to order MDX to settle unpaid claims and pay any additional costs incurred and damages for breach of contact. In January 2018, the court issued judgement at first instance upholding ETC's claim for breach of contract by MDX, awarding ETC damages of US\$43 million, together with accrued interest of approximately US\$10 million, making a total of approximately US\$53 million, in addition to interest payable until settlement.
The court also awarded ETC costs to cover reasonable legal expenses, amounting to the sum of US\$8 million following an agreement between ETC and MDX.
On 25 April 2018, MDX appealed the above judgement. ETC has until 14 May 2019 to file its defence brief.
On 20 June 2018, MDX also appealed the judgement awarding ETC costs to cover the reasonable legal expenses incurred. ETC has until 21 May 2019 to file its defence brief.
From 1 January 2018, the Spanish operators applied the following annual toll increases, as per the applicable contracts:

Notes to the Atlantia Group's
From 1 January 2019, the Spanish operators applied the following annual toll increases, as per the applicable contracts:
In February 2018, the French operators raised their rates by 1.4%, to reflect the combined effect of 70% of the 2017 inflation rate (+1.0%), the adjustments related to the recovery of the frozen 2015 toll increases, and the return on the additional investment plan known as "Plan de Investissement Autoroutier" (+0.7%).
In February 2019, the French operators raised their rates by 1.7%, to reflect the combined effect of 70% of the 2018 inflation rate (+1.9%), the adjustments related to the recovery of the frozen 2015 toll increases, and the return on the additional investment plan known as "Plan de Investissement Autoroutier" (+0.3%).
From 1 January 2018, the rates charged by the Italian concession Autostrada A4 - Brescia Padova, under a RAB regime, rose by 2.1%, to reflect the combined effect of the inflation rate (+ 1.7%) and a quality indicator (0.4%).
In 2019, the rates charged by the Italian operator of the A4 - Brescia Padova motorway did not increase. The operator's requests for an increase were not approved by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport, pending the finalisation of the operating and financial plan and on the basis of objections raised in connection with the amount of maintenance expenses. The company, considering the objections groundless, challenged the rejection before Lazio Regional Administrative Court, requesting the suspension of its effectiveness and its annulment.
In 2018, the Abertis group's Chilean operators implemented the following annual toll increases as per the applicable contracts:
increase related to the safety premium 2018 (+5.0%) minus the safety premium granted in 2017 (+1.7%);
• from 1 February 2018, the rates charged by Autopista del Los Libertadores increased by 3.1%, to reflect the combined effect of the inflation adjustment for the period 1 January – 31 December 2017 (+2.3%) and the toll increase related to the safety premium for 2018 (+5.0%) minus the safety premium granted in 2017 (+4.1%).
In 2019, the Chilean operators implemented the following annual toll increases as per the applicable contracts:
As of 1 July 2018, the rates charged by Centrovias, Autovias and Intervias rose by 2.9%, reflecting the corresponding change of the consumer price inflation in the period between 1 June 2017 – 31 May 2018, as it was lower than the change in the IGP-M in the same period of reference (4.3%), with the difference to be rebalanced financially pursuant to the concession agreement.
Starting from 31 May 2018, the State of Sao Paulo implemented the exemption for heavy vehicles with suspended axles from toll payments, a measure adopted by the federal government to meet the demands of truck drivers, who had starting a protest on 21 May 2018. Operators will be compensated for the loss of revenue.
On 25 January 2019, Via Paulista, which will include the Autovias section, expiring in June 2019, began charging tolls on 3 toll plazas.
The operators of Brazilian federal concessions (ANTT – Agencia Nacional de Transportes) applied the following annual toll increases for 2018:

Notes to the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial
Until 24 July 2018 the tolls of the GCO and AUSOL concessions included an amount to be paid back to the Authority (RAE). On 2 February 2018, the GCO and AUSOL concessions raised their tolls by 23.7% and 31.6%, respectively, reflecting an effective increase of +36.1% for GCO and 18% for Ausol.
On 24 July 2018, the operators entered into agreements with the grantor whereby the toll component that was previously paid back to the grantor is now kept by the operators to compensate for regulatory imbalances. Accordingly, even though tolls were unchanged for users, the net toll increase was +70% for Ausol and +24% for GCO.
On 5 January 2019, tolls were raised by +38% for both concessions.
The Concessions in Puerto Rico raised their rates on 1 January 2018:
On 1 January 2019:
On 1 September 2018, the Indian operators, JPEL and TTPL, raised their tolls by 2.6%, to reflect the adjustment for producer price inflation.
The operator, Acesa, filed a complaint against the Grantor in relation to the failure by the Grantor to pay sums under Royal Decree 457/2006, which approved the agreement between the Spanish government and the company in relation to the amendments to the terms and conditions of the concession granted to the latter.
The agreement called for, among others, the construction of additional lanes on certain sections of the AP-7 motorway, with implementation of a closed toll system as well as free passage and discounts upon occurrence of certain conditions, as well as Acesa's waiver to request compensation for possible negative impacts on its traffic deriving from the construction of second lanes on parallel roads N-II and CN-340. By contrast, the agreement calls for procedures to calculate the consequent compensation payable to the company upon expiration of the concession.
Based on the provisions of the Royal Decree, compensation that Acesa deems to be payable to it amounts to approximately €2,950 million at the end of 2018.
In light of disputes arising in connection with the method to calculate compensation, Acesa initiated legal proceedings against the Grantor, in June 2015, to have the Court ascertain the correct method to calculate compensation. Following completion of the proceedings, on 6 February 2018, the Council Chamber of the Supreme Court met to adopt a decision on the case. At the date of approval of this Annual report, the decision has not been adopted yet. The Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements for 2018 do not include the receivables associated with the disputed amount of the compensation due to Acesa. The portion of this sum that is not disputed (€890.4 million as at 31 December 2018) has been recognised in the Atlantia Group's consolidated financial statements.
In February 2011, Aumar requested the Grantor to provide compensation in relation to loss of revenues deriving from the construction of roads parallel to the toll road under concession.
This request for compensation includes the revenue lost by the company for the period 2002-2019 (end of the concession).
In the face of the Grantor's rejection of the request for compensation, Aumar filed several complaints, the last of which was reviewed by the Council Chamber of the Supreme Court on 13 February 2019 for a decision to be handed down shortly.
Even though the company did not recognise any such receivable in its financial statements, the amount requested by the operator amounts to approximately €400 million.
Regarding a dispute related to the obligations assumed under the financial support agreement between Iberpistas and Acesa with the lending banks of the investee, Alazor Inversiones SA (a company undergoing liquidation proceedings), on 22 January 2019, 5 funds deemed to be the current creditors for part of Alazor Inversiones SA's debt, began legal proceedings in order to obtain payment of a total amount of €223.5 million, corresponding to the guarantees provided by the above-mentioned financial support agreement. As described in note 7.14, provisions for risks and charges have been made for this sum as at 31 December 2018.

Atlantia SpA (or the "Company") was formed in 2003. The Company's registered office is in Rome, at Via Nibby, 20. The Company does not have branch offices. The duration of the Company is currently until 31 December 2050.
The Company, listed on the screen-based trading system (Mercato Telematico Azionario) operated by Borsa Italiana SpA, is a holding company with investments in companies whose business is primarily the construction and operation of motorways, airports and transport infrastructure, parking areas and intermodal systems, or who engage in activities related to the management of motorway or airport traffic. At the date of preparation of these consolidated financial statements Sintonia SpA is the shareholder that holds a relative majority of the issued capital of Atlantia SpA. Neither Sintonia SpA nor its direct parent, Edizione Srl, exercise management and coordination of Atlantia SpA.
These financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 were approved by the Company's Board of Directors at its meeting of 7 March 2019.
Due to the fact that the Company has significant controlling interests in other companies, it also prepares consolidated financial statements that are presented together with the Company's separate financial statements.
The financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018, have been prepared on a going concern basis. They have been prepared in compliance with articles 2 and 4 of Legislative Decree 38/2005 and in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and endorsed by the European Commission. These standards reflect the interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), in addition to previous International Accounting Standards (IAS) and interpretations issued by the Standard Interpretations Committee (SIC) and still in force. For the sake of simplicity, all the above standards and interpretations are hereinafter referred to as "IFRS".
Moreover, the measures introduced by the CONSOB, in application of paragraph 3 of article 9 of Legislative Decree 38/2005, relating to the preparation of financial statements, have also been taken into account.
The financial statements consist of the statement of financial position, the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows and these notes, applying the historical cost convention, with the exception of those items that are required by IFRS to be recognised at fair value, as explained in the accounting policies for individual items described below in note 3, "Accounting standards and policies applied". The statement of financial position is based on the format that separately discloses current and non-current assets and liabilities. The income statement is classified by nature of expense, whilst the statement of cash flows has been prepared in application of the indirect method.

IFRS have been applied in accordance with the indications provided in the "Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting", and no events have occurred that would require exemptions pursuant to paragraph 19 of IAS 1.
CONSOB Resolution 15519 of 27 July 2006 requires that, in addition to the specific requirements of IAS 1 and other IFRS, financial statements must, where material, include separate sub-items providing (i) disclosure of amounts deriving from related party transactions; and, with regard to the income statement, (ii) separate disclosure of income and expenses deriving from events and transactions that are nonrecurring in nature, or transactions or events that do not occur on a frequent basis during the normal course of business.
As in 2017, no atypical or unusual transactions, involving either third or related parties and having a material impact on the Company's income statement and statement of financial position, were entered into in 2018.
As in 2017, there were no non-recurring events or transactions, involving either third or related parties and having a material impact on the Company's accounts, in 2018.
In view of the importance of the transaction, however, it should be noted that the acquisition of control of the Abertis Infraestructuras group ("Abertis") was completed during the year. This transaction is described in note 4.2, "Acquisition of Abertis Infraestructuras SA", which provides details of the impact on the Company's results of operation and financial position.
Amounts in the statement of financial position, income statement and statement of cash flows are shown in euros, whilst amounts in the statement of comprehensive income, the statement of changes in equity and these notes are shown in thousands of euros, unless otherwise indicated. With regard CONSOB Resolution 15519 of 27 July 2006 relating to the format for financial statements, a specific supplementary statement of financial position, income statement and statement of financial position in thousands of euros, showing material related party transactions and the impact of non-recurring transactions during the reporting period and in the comparative period, has been included.
The euro is both the Company's functional currency and its presentation currency.
Each item in the financial statements is compared with the corresponding amount for the previous year. Comparative amounts have not been either restated or reclassified with respect to those presented in the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017.
A description follows of the more important accounting standards and policies employed by the Company for its financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018. These accounting standards and policies are consistent with those applied in preparation of the financial statements for the previous year, with the exception of the changes resulting from first-time adoption, from 1 January 2018, of the new accounting standards, IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments and IFRS 15 – Revenue from Contracts with Customers. A below section of these notes describes the differences between these new standards with respect to the standards previous applied and the impact of their adoption.
Property, plant and equipment, including items acquired under finance leases, are stated at purchase cost. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the items and financial expenses incurred during construction of the asset. As permitted by IFRS 1, assets acquired through business combinations prior to 1 January 2004 are stated at previous amounts, as determined under Italian GAAP for those business combinations and representing deemed cost.
The cost of assets with finite useful lives is systematically depreciated on a straight-line basis applying rates that represent the expected useful life of the asset. Each component of an asset with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item, and that has a different useful life, is accounted for separately. Land, whether free of constructions or annexed to civil and industrial buildings, is not depreciated as it has an indefinite useful life.
Investment property, which is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation, or both, is recognised at cost measured in the same manner as property, plant and equipment. The relevant fair value of such assets has also been disclosed.
The annual rates of depreciation applied to "Property, plant and equipment" and "Investment property" in 2018, are shown in the table below by asset class.
| Property, plant and equipment | Rate of depreciation |
|---|---|
| Buildings | 3% |
| Industrial and business equipment | 20% |
| Other assets | 12% |
Property, plant and equipment is tested for impairment, as described in the relevant note, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Property, plant and equipment is derecognised on disposal. Any gains or losses (determined as the difference between disposal proceeds, less costs to sell, and the carrying amount of the asset) are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which the asset is sold.
Intangible assets are identifiable assets without physical substance, controlled by the entity and from which future economic benefits are expected to flow, and purchased goodwill. Identifiable intangible assets are those purchased assets that, unlike goodwill, can be separately distinguished. This requirement is generally satisfied when the intangible asset: (i) arises from a legal or contractual right, or (ii) is separable, meaning that it may be sold, transferred, licensed or exchanged, either individually or as an integral part of other assets. The asset is controlled by the entity if the entity has the power to obtain future economic benefits from the asset and can limit access to it by others.
Internally developed assets are recognised as assets to the extent that: (i) the cost of the asset can be measured reliably; (ii) the Company has the intention, the available financial resources and the technical expertise to complete the asset and either use or sell it; (iii) the Company is able to demonstrate that the asset is capable of generating future economic benefits.
Intangible assets are recognised at cost, measured in the same manner as property, plant and equipment, provided that the assets can be identified and their cost reliably determined, are under the entity's control and are able to generate future economic benefits.
Intangible assets are recognised at cost, measured in the same manner as property, plant and equipment, provided that the assets can be identified and their cost reliably determined, are under the entity's control and are able to generate future economic benefits.
Amortisation of intangible assets with finite useful lives begins when the asset is ready for use and is based on remaining economic benefits to be obtained in relation to their residual useful lives. The annual rate of amortisation used in 2018 is 1.01%.
Intangible assets are tested for impairment, as described below in the note on "Impairment of assets and reversals (impairment testing)", whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be fully recoverable.
Gains and losses deriving from the disposal of an intangible asset are determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds, less costs to sell, and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognised as income or expense in the income statement at the time of the disposal.
Acquisitions of companies or business units are accounted for using the acquisition method, as required by IFRS 3. For this purpose, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed through business combinations are measured at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The cost of an acquisition is measured as the fair value, at the date of exchange, of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and any equity instruments issued by the Company in exchange for control.
Goodwill is initially measured as the positive difference between the acquisition cost, plus the fair value at the acquisition date of any previous non-controlling interests held in the acquiree, and the fair value of net assets acquired.
The goodwill, as measured on the date of acquisition, is allocated to each of the substantially independent cash generating units expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination.
A negative difference between the cost of the acquisition and the fair value of the net assets acquired is recognised as income in profit or loss in the year of acquisition.
Goodwill on acquisitions of non-controlling interests is included in the carrying amount of the relevant investments.
If the Company is not in possession of all the information necessary to determine the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, these are recognised on a provisional basis in the year in which the business combination is completed and retrospectively adjusted within twelve months of the acquisition date.
After initial recognition, goodwill is no longer amortised and is carried at cost less any accumulated impairment losses, determined as described in the note on impairment testing.
IFRS 3 was not applied retrospectively to acquisitions prior to 1 January 2004, the Company's IFRS transition date. As a result, the carrying amount of goodwill on these acquisitions is that determined under Italian GAAP, which is the net carrying amount at this date, subject to impairment testing and the recognition of any impairment losses.
Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures are accounted for at cost and include any directly attributable transaction costs. Impairment losses are identified in accordance with IAS 36, as described below in the paragraph on "Impairment of assets and reversals (impairment testing)". The impairment is reversed in the event the circumstances giving rise to the impairment cease to exist; the reversal may not exceed the original carrying amount of the investment. Provisions are made to cover any losses of an 4. Separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018
associate or joint venture exceeding the carrying amount of the investment, to the extent that the shareholder is required to comply with actual or constructive obligations to cover such losses. Investments in other companies, which qualify as available-for-sale financial instruments, as defined by IFRS 9, are initially accounted for at cost at the settlement date, in that this represents fair value, including any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, these investments are measured at fair value through profit or loss, with the exception of investments not held for trading and for which, as permitted by IFRS 9, the Group has exercised the option, at the time of purchase, to designate the investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Acquisitions or disposals of companies and/or business units between companies belonging to the Atlantia Group (entities or businesses under common control) are treated, in accordance with IAS 1 and IAS 8, on the basis of their economic substance, with confirmation of the fact that the purchase consideration is determined on the basis of fair value and that added value is generated for all the parties involved, resulting in significant measurable changes in the cash flows generated by the investments transferred before and after transaction. In this regard:
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, derivative financial instruments and financial assets and liabilities (as defined by IFRS 9 and including, among other things, trade receivables and payables).
Cash and cash equivalents are recognised at face value. They include highly liquid demand deposits or very short-term instruments of excellent quality, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
All derivative financial instruments are recognised at fair value at the end of the year. As required by IFRS 9, derivatives are designated as hedging instruments when the relationship between the derivative and the hedged item is formally documented and the periodically assessed effectiveness of the hedge is high.
Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges hedging assets and liabilities (including those that are pending and highly likely to arise in the future) are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised in profit or loss.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives serving as fair value hedges are recognised in profit or loss. Analogously, the hedged assets and liabilities are restated at fair value through profit or loss. Since derivative contracts deemed net investment hedges in accordance with IFRS 9, because they were concluded to hedge the risk of unfavourable movements in the exchange rates used to translate net investments in foreign operations, are treated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of fair value gains or losses on the derivatives is recognised in other comprehensive income, thus offsetting changes in the foreign currency translation reserve for net investments in foreign operations. Accumulated fair value gains and losses, recognised in the net investment hedge reserve, are reclassified from comprehensive income to profit or loss on the disposal or partial disposal of the foreign operation.
Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting under IFRS 9 are recognised in profit or loss.
The classification and related measurement are driven by both the business model in which the financial asset is held and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the asset.
The financial asset is measured at amortised cost subject to both of the following conditions:
A financial asset meeting the conditions to be classified and measured at amortised cost may, on initial recognition, be designated as a financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, to the extent that this accounting treatment would eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency (an 'accounting mismatch') that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases.
Receivables measured at amortised cost are initially recognised at the fair value of the underlying asset, after any directly attributable transaction proceeds. The receivables are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provisions for impairment losses (recognised in profit or loss) for amounts considered uncollectible. The estimate for uncollectible amounts is based on the present value of expected cash-out flows. These cash flows take account of expected collection times, estimated realisable value, any guarantees received, and the expected costs of recovering the amounts due. Impairment losses are reversed in future periods if the circumstances that resulted in the loss no longer exist. In this case, the reversal is accounted for in the income statement and may not in any event exceed the amortised cost of the receivable had no previous impairment losses been recognised.
Trade receivables subject to normal commercial terms and conditions, or that do not include significant financial components, are not discounted to present value.
The financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if the objectives of the business model are to hold the financial asset to collect the contractual cash flows, or to sell it, and the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that solely represent a return on the financial asset.
Finally, any remaining financial assets, other than those described above, are classified as held for trading and measured at fair value through profit or loss.
No financial instruments were reclassified from one of the above categories to another in 2018.
Financial liabilities are initially recognised at fair value, after any directly attributable transaction costs. After initial recognition, financial liabilities are measures at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Trading liabilities subject to normal commercial terms and conditions, or that do not include significant financial components, are not discounted to present value.
If there is a modification of one or more terms of an existing financial liability (including as a result of its novation), it is necessary to conduct a qualitative and quantitative assessment in order to decide whether or not the modification is substantial with respect to the existing contractual terms. In the absence of substantial modifications, the difference between the present value of the modified cash flows (determined using the instrument's effective interest rate at the date of modification) and the carrying amount of the instruments is accounted for in profit or loss. As a result, the value of the financial liability is adjusted and the instrument's effective interest rate recalculated. If the modifications are substantial, the existing instrument is derecognised and the fair value of the new instrument is recognised, with the related difference recognised in profit or loss.

Financial instruments are derecognised in the statement of financial position when, following their sale or settlement, the Company is no longer involved in their management and has transferred all the related risks and rewards of ownership and, therefore, no longer has the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset.
For all transactions or balances (financial or non-financial) for which an accounting standard requires or permits fair value measurement and which falls within the application of IFRS 13, the Company applies the following criteria:
Based on the inputs used for fair value measurement, a fair value hierarchy for classifying the assets and liabilities measured at fair value, or the fair value of which is disclosed in the financial statements, has been identified:
Definitions of the fair value hierarchy level in which individual financial instruments measured at fair value have been classified, or for which the fair value is disclosed in the financial statements, are provided in the notes to individual components of the financial statements.
There are no assets or liabilities classifiable in level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
No transfers between the various levels of the fair value hierarchy took place during the year.
The fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on expected cash flows that are discounted at rates derived from the market yield curve at the measurement date and the curve for listed credit default swaps entered into by the counterparty and the Company, to include the non-performance risk explicitly provided for by IFRS 13.
In the case of medium/long-term financial instruments, other than derivatives, where market prices are not available, the fair value is determined by discounting expected cash flows, using the market yield curve at the measurement date and taking into account counterparty risk in the case of financial assets and own credit risk in the case of financial liabilities.
Treasury shares are recognised at cost and accounted for as a reduction in equity. The impact of any subsequent sales is recognised in equity.
Provisions are made when: (i) the Company has a present (actual or constructive) obligation as a result of a past event; (ii) it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation; and (iii) the related amount has been reliably estimated.
Provisions are measured on the basis of management's best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period. If the discount to present value is material, provisions are determined by discounting future expected cash flows to their present value using a discount rate used that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money. Subsequent to the computation of present value, the increase in provisions over time is recognised as a financial expense.
Short-term employee benefits, provided during the period of employment, are accounted for at the accrued liability at the end of the reporting period.
Liabilities deriving from other medium/long-term employee benefits are recognised in the vesting period, less any plan assets and advance payments made. They are determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions, if material, and recognised on an accruals basis in line with the period of service necessary to obtain the benefit.
Post-employment benefits in the form of defined contribution plans are recognised at the amount accrued at the end of the reporting period.
Post-employment benefits in the form of defined benefit plans are recognised in the vesting period, less any plan assets and advance payments made. Such defined benefit plans primarily regard the obligation as determined on the basis of actuarial assumptions and recognised on an accruals basis in line with the period of service necessary to obtain the benefit. The obligation is calculated by independent actuaries. Any resulting actuarial gain or loss is recognised in full in other comprehensive income in the period to which it relates.
Where the carrying amount of non-current assets held for sale, or of assets and liabilities included in disposal groups and/or related to discontinued operations is to be recovered primarily through sale rather than through continued use, these items are presented separately in the statement of financial position. Immediately prior to being classified as held for sale, the above assets and liabilities are recognised under the specific IFRS applicable to each asset and liability, and subsequently accounted for at the lower of the carrying amount and estimated fair value. Any impairment losses are recognised immediately in the income statement.
Non-current assets held for sale or for distribution to shareholders and discontinued or discontinuing operations (including investments) are classifiable as "discontinued operations" provided the following conditions are met:
c) they are subsidiaries acquired exclusively with a view to resale.
Separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018
After tax gains and losses resulting from the management or sale of such operations are recognised as one amount in profit or loss with comparatives.
Revenue is recognised when the fair value can be reliably measured and it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transactions will flow to the Group. The amount recognised as revenue reflects the consideration to which the Group is entitled in exchange for goods transferred to the customer and services rendered. This revenue is recognised when the performance obligations under the contract have been satisfied.
Depending on the type of transaction, revenue is recognised on the basis of the following specific criteria:
Income taxes are recognised on the basis of a realistic estimate of tax expense to be paid, in compliance with the regulations in force.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined on the basis of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities as in the Company's books (resulting from application of the accounting policies described) and the corresponding tax bases (resulting from application of the tax regulations in force in the country relevant to each subsidiary), as follows:
Based on Legislative Decree 344/2003 and articles 117 et seq. of Presidential Decree 917/1986, Atlantia has elected for group taxation for the purposes of IRES (tax consolidation arrangement), as the consolidating entity.
The current tax assets and liabilities for IRES of the companies included in the consolidation are reported as current tax assets and liabilities, with recognition of a matching receivable or payable due from or to the subsidiary, in connection with the transfer of funds to be carried out as a result of the tax consolidation. Relations between the companies are regulated by a specific contract. This contract establishes that participation in the tax consolidation arrangement may not, under any circumstances, result in economic or financial disadvantages for the participating companies compared with the situation that would have arisen had they not participated in the arrangement. Should such disadvantages arise, they are to be offset by a corresponding indemnity to be paid to the participating companies concerned.
The cost of services provided by directors and/or employees remunerated through share-based incentive plans, and settled through the award of financial instruments, where the Company has an obligation to
settle the transaction, is based on the fair value of the rights at the grant date. Fair value is computed using actuarial assumptions and with reference to all characteristics, at the grant date (vesting period, any consideration due and conditions of exercise, etc.), of the rights and the plan's underlying securities. The obligation is determined by independent actuaries.
The cost of these plans is recognised in profit or loss, with a contra-entry in equity, over the vesting period, based on a best estimate of the number of options that will vest.
If the beneficiaries are the directors or employees of subsidiaries, where the Company has an obligation to settle the transaction, the cost is recognised as an increase in the value of the investment.
The cost of any services provided by Directors and/or employees and remunerated through share-based payments, but settled in cash, where the Company has an obligation to settle the transaction, is instead measured at the fair value of the liability assumed and recognised in profit or loss. A contra entry is made in liabilities, over the vesting period, based on a best estimate of the number of options that will vest. Fair value is remeasured at the end of each reporting period until such time as the liability is settled, with any changes recognised in profit or loss. If the beneficiaries are the directors or employees of subsidiaries, where the Company has an obligation to settle the transaction, the cost is recognised as an increase in the value of the investment.
At the end of the reporting period, the Company tests property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, financial assets and investments for impairment.
If there are indications that these assets have been impaired, the recoverable amounts of such assets are estimated in order to verify and eventually measure the amount of the impairment loss. Irrespective of whether there is an indication of impairment, intangible assets with indefinite lives and those which are not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently, if an event has occurred or there has been a change in circumstances that could cause an impairment.
If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amounts of individual assets, the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which a particular asset belongs is estimated (Cash Generating Unit – CGU). This entails estimating the recoverable amount of the asset (represented by the higher of the asset's fair value less costs to sell and its value in use) and comparing it with the carrying amount. If the recoverable amount of an asset is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to its recoverable amount. In calculating value in use, expected future pre-tax cash flow is discounted using a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the cost of capital which embodies the time value of money and the risks specific to the business.
In contrast, in estimating the future cash flow of a CGU, the Company uses after-tax cash flows and discount rates that produce results that are substantially equivalent to those resulting from a pre-tax computation.
Impairments are recognised in profit or loss and classified in various ways depending on the nature of the impaired asset.
If there are indications, at the end of the reporting period, that an impairment loss recognised in previous years has been reduced, in full or in part, the recoverability of the carrying amount in the statement of financial position is tested and any reversal of the impairment loss through profit or loss determined. The reversal may under no circumstances exceed the amount of the impairment loss previously recognised. Impairments of goodwill may not be reversed.
Preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRS involves the use of estimates and judgements, which are reflected in the measurement of the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and in the disclosures provided in the notes to the financial statements, including contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the reporting period. These estimates are primarily used in determining amortisation and
depreciation, impairment testing of assets (including the measurement of receivables), provisions, employee benefits, the fair value of financial assets and liabilities, and current and deferred tax assets and liabilities.
The amounts subsequently recognised may, therefore, differ from these estimates. Moreover, these estimates and judgements are periodically reviewed and updated, and the resulting effects of each change immediately recognised in the financial statements.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency are recognised by application of the exchange rate at the transaction date. Assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are, subsequently, remeasured by application of the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period. Any exchange differences on remeasurement are recognised in the income statement. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and recognised at historical cost or fair value are translated using the exchange rate at the date of initial recognition.
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing profit by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the accounting period.
Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing profit attributable to owners of the parent by the above weighted average, also taking into account the effects deriving from the subscription, exercise or conversion of all potential shares that may be issued as a result of the exercise of any outstanding rights.
IFRS 15 has replaced the previous IAS 18 and IAS 11 and the related interpretations, IFRIC 13, IFRIC 15, IFRIC 18 and SIC 31.
The new standard establishes the standards to follow in recognising revenue from contracts with customers, with the exception of contracts falling within the scope of application of standards governing leases, insurance contracts and financial instruments.
The standard provides an overall framework for identifying the timing and amount of revenue to be recognised in the financial statements.
Under IFRS 15, the entity must analyse the contract and the related accounting effects using the following steps:
The amount recognised as revenue by an entity must, therefore, reflect the consideration to which the entity is entitled in exchange for goods transferred to the customer and/or services rendered. This revenue is to be recognised when the entity has satisfied its performance obligations under the contract. Following the assessment conducted, the adoption of IFRS 15 is not expected to have any impact on the Company.
IFRS 9, which has replaced IAS 39, has introduced new rules for the classification and measurement of financial instruments, a new impairment model for financial assets and a new hedge accounting model. The aspects most relevant to the Group, in terms of the impact of application of the new standard on the income statement and/or the financial position, primarily regard:
Following the assessment conducted, the adoption of IFRS 9 is not expected to have any impact on the Company.
To provide greater clarity, the following table provides an overview of the classification of the Company's financial assets and liabilities as at 1 January 2018, following the transition from the previous accounting standard, IAS 39, and the new IFRS 9.

As required by IAS 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors", this section describes new accounting standards and interpretations, and amendments of existing standards and interpretations that are already applicable, that have yet to come into effect as at 31 December 2018 and that may in the future be applied in the Company's separate financial statements:

On 13 January 2016, the IASB published the final version of the new financial reporting standard on leases, which replaced IAS 17, IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and SIC27 and is due to take effect on 1 January 2019. The new standard provides a different definition of lease and introduces a criterion based on control of the asset, to distinguish a lease arrangement from a service contract, indicating as discriminating factors the identification of the asset, the right to replace the asset, the right to obtain substantially all the economic benefits deriving from the use of the asset and, lastly, the right to direct the use of the asset underlying the contract.
The new financial reporting standard removes the distinction between operating and finance leases for the lessee. In fact, IFRS 16 requires the lessee to recognise the at lease commencement in the statement of financial position a right-of-use asset (i.e. in the same item where the corresponding assets would be recognised if they were owned), to be depreciated over the term of the right-of-use. At lease commencement, the lessor also recognises, as a contra-entry to the above right-of-use, a liability arising from the contract, for an amount equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments due. IFRS 16 clarifies that, within the context of the lease contract, a lessee must separate the components related to the lease (which are accounted for as per IFRS 16) from those related to other services, which are accounted for in accordance with other IFRS.
The lessee may elect not to apply the new standard lease contracts of up to 12 months and those concerning low-value assets, considering that they have little significance.
Regarding the lessor, instead, the distinction between finance lease and operating lease continues to apply, depending on the characteristics of the contract, as per IAS 17. Consequently, the lessor will recognise a financial receivable (if a finance lease) or a tangible asset (if an operating lease).
The possible effects of the introduction of IFRS 16 were analysed. The Company does not hold significant assets as a lessee, with the relevant contracts referring mainly to property leases.
The project for the preliminary identification of potential impacts took place in different stages, including one involving the mapping of contracts that might potentially include a lease arrangement and 4. Separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017
the analysis of such contracts to understand the main provisions that would be relevant in relation to IFRS 16.
To that end, the Company intends to avail itself of the simplifications allowed by the standard:
With reference to lease contracts where the Company is a lessee, no significant impacts have so far been identified that might derive from the introduction of the standard.
Assessment of the impact of IFRS 16 on the financial statements with regard to lease arrangement in which the Company is the lessor is close to completion. Based on the information available, financial liabilities (for leases) in the Company's statement of financial position as at 1 January 2019 are expected to increase by approximately €8 million, reflecting an increase in right-of-use assets.
The impact on profit is, on the other hand, not expected to be significant over time, with recognition of the present value of financial expenses and depreciation of the assets, instead of the current recognition of lease payments.
On 12 December 2017, the IASB published its "Annual Improvements to IFRSs: 2015 – 2017 cycle", introducing amendments to a number of standards as part of its annual improvements process.
The principal amendments that could be relevant to the Company regard:
On 31 October 2018, the IASB published "Definition of Material (Amendments to IAS 1 and IAS 8)", which has introduced an amendment designed to make the definition of "material" more specific. The amendment also introduces the concept of "obscured information", in addition to the concepts of "omitted" and "misstated" information already present in the two amended standards. The amendment clarifies that information is "obscured" if it is provided in such a way as to produce for general users of financial statements an effect similar to that which would be produced if such information had been omitted or misstated.
On 7 February 2018 the IASB published "Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to IAS 19)", amending IAS 19 to clarify how an entity should recognise an amendment (or a curtailment or a settlement) to a defined-benefit plan. The amendment requires the entity to review its assumptions and remeasure the liability or the net assets of the plan. After such occurrence, the entity must use the new assumptions to measure the service cost and net interest for the period after the remeasurement.
On 22 October 2018 the IASB published "Definition of a Business (Amendments to IFRS 3)", to amend IFRS 3 in such a way as to clarify the definition of a business.
In particular, the amendment clarifies that an output is not the necessary condition to identify a business in the presence of a set of activities/processes and assets. However, to be considered a business, an acquired set of activities and assets must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. To this end, the IASB has replaced "ability to create outputs" with "contribution to the ability to create outputs" to clarify that a business can exist also without all the inputs and processes necessary to create an output.
Moreover, the amendment has introduced an optional concentration test, to determine whether an acquired set of activities and assets is a business. To that end, the amendment added a large number of illustrative examples to IFRS 3, to allow comprehension of the practical application of the new definition of a business in specific cases. The amendments apply to all business combinations and acquisitions occurring after 1 January 2020, with early application permitted.
The Company is assessing the potential impact, which cannot currently be reasonably estimated, of future application of all the newly issued standards and revisions and amendments of existing standards, with the exception of IFRS 16, the expected impact of which is described above.
On 2 March 2018, Atlantia acquired a 100% interest in Aero 1 Global & International Sàrl (hereinafter "Aero 1") from a number of funds managed by Goldman Sachs Infrastructure Partners. The acquired company is a Luxembourg-registered investment vehicle that holds 85,170,758 shares in Getlink (formerly Groupe Eurotunnel SE), amounting to a 15.49% interest and representing 26.64% of the company's voting rights (quotas calculated on the basis of the total shares in issue, amounting to 550,000,000, and the total number of voting rights, amounting to 639,363,734 as at 31 December 2018, based on disclosures published by Getlink on 11 January 2019).
Getlink operates the undersea link connecting France with the UK (consisting of three tunnels and two terminals under a concession expiring in 2086), Europorte (a rail business not operated under concession) and the future electricity interconnection between France and the UK (ElecLink), which is being built inside the tunnel. Getlink is listed on the Euronext Paris and Euronext London exchanges and had a market capitalisation of approximately €5.7 billion at the acquisition date.
The cost of the acquisition to Atlantia totals €1,056 million. The cost incurred consists of €779 million in loans from Atlantia to Aero 1 (subsequently converted into equity in May 2018) and €277 million represented by the 100% interest in the company's capital.
On 29 October 2018, the Atlantia Group completed the transaction to obtain control of Abertis, the parent company of a group engaged in the operation of motorway concessions in Europe, the Americas and India. The transaction started in 2017 with Atlantia's launch of a voluntary public tender offer for cash and/or shares ("Atlantia's public tender offer") for the entire issued capital of Abertis Infraestructuras (regarding which reference is made the information previously provided in note 4.3, "Voluntary public tender offer, in cash and/or shares, for all the shares of Abertis Infraestructuras", in Atlantia's consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017), subsequently withdrawn on 12 April 2018, in implementation of the agreements reached with Hochtief and ACS regarding a joint investment in Abertis. As a result of the above agreements, Hochtief acquired a 98.7% interest in Abertis Infraestructuras SA, following this company's public tender offer for all the latter's issued capital and share purchases completed after the conclusion of the acceptance period for the offer (8 May 2018), as permitted by the existing regulations.
Pursuant to these agreements, Atlantia subscribed 50% plus one share of Abertis HoldCo SA, a company organised under the laws of Spain with the minority shareholders, ACS (which holds a 30% interest) and Hochtief (which holds 20% minus one share). Abertis HoldCo SA in turn established a wholly-owned Spanish subsidiary, Abertis Participaciones SA, which, on 29 October 2018, purchased from Hochtief 98.7% of Abertis's issued capital for €16,520 million.
Below, a description is provided of the main steps involved in the transaction in chronological order:
Regarding developments occurred in the course of the transaction, considering the investment agreement with ACS and Hochtief, as well as Atlantia's withdrawal of its public tender offer, on 13 April 2018, Atlantia cancelled the acquisition financing provided by its banks in May 2017, amounting to €14,700 million (previously reduced to €11,648 million in 2017, following both the issue of bonds in July 2017, and the sale of interests in a number of subsidiaries and associates, completed in the second half of 2017). The credit facilities cancelled by Atlantia were replaced by a combination of new facilities between May and July 2018 which, together with the loans obtained directly by Abertis HoldCo, made it possible to put together the funding package to complete the acquisition of Abertis's controlling interest. In particular, the funding package includes:
c) a Revolving facility of up to €1,250 million, with a bullet repayment in the third quarter of 2023. The two Term Loans were disbursed in total in September 2018, together with a partial disbursement under the Revolving Line of €675 million.
As to the financial structure of the acquisition, to meet the borrowing requirements associated with the refinancing of the acquisition financing, in March 2018 the Company entered into further specific Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps with a notional value of €2,000 million to hedge against the risk of movements in interest rates, in addition to the swaps entered into in 2017 (having a notional value of €1,000 million).
The following table shows the acquisition's impact on the income statement and statement of financial position.

In addition to the above disclosures regarding financial liabilities, non-current financial assets, other non-current assets and derivatives with fair value losses, the statement of financial position also reflects, as described in note 5.3, "Investments", the interests in Abertis HoldCo and Hochtief, amounting to €3,383 million (including ancillary costs on the investment, totalling €4 million) and €1,984 million, respectively, as at 31 December 2018.
On 29 October 2018, in a separate transaction from that described in note 4.2, Atlantia acquired a 23.86% equity interest in Hochtief, following a new share issue by this company that was taken up entirely by its parent, ACS (at €143.04 per share). Subsequently, as agreed, ACS sold Hochtief's shares to Atlantia for a total of €2,411 million, that is at the same price as that paid for the newly-issued shares. Hochtief is a company organised under the laws of Germany that controls a large construction group and is listed on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
Based on the assessments made, Atlantia is not deemed to exercise a significant influence over Hochtief. This is because, despite the existence of an equity interest greater than the presumably material 20% threshold indicated by IAS 28, there is no effective circumstance suggesting significant influence either at the time of the acquisition or subsequently, also considering the lack of:
Based on the above, and considering that the equity interest purchased by Atlantia is not held for trading, such equity interest has been irrevocably designated, pursuant to IFRS 9, as a financial instrument to be recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Further details of the balance as at 31 December 2018 are provided in note 5.3, "Investments".
The following notes provide information on items in the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018. Comparative amounts as at 31 December 2017 are shown in brackets.

The balance is broadly in line with the figure for 31 December 2017.
"Investment property" essentially includes buildings and land owned by the Company and leased to other Atlantia Group companies. The total fair value of these assets is estimated total €12 million based on independent appraisals and information on property markets relevant to these types of investment property. This amount is higher than the related carrying amount.
There were no changes in the expected useful lives of these assets during 2018.
Property, plant and equipment as at 31 December 2018 is free of mortgages, liens or other collateral guarantees restricting use.
Intangible assets, whose carrying amount is in line with the figure for 31 December 2017, consist solely of building rights for land owned by the Municipality of Florence, which are amortised over the term of the rights.

The balance of this item is up €6,395,635 thousand compared with 31 December 2017, broadly due to:
With regard to the investments in other companies held as at 1 January 2018, following the introduction of IFRS 9 and bearing in mind their specific nature (and the purposes for which Atlantia holds the investments), they have been irrevocably designated, pursuant to the standard, as financial instruments to be recognised at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Impairment tests have also been conducted on the carrying amounts of investments as at 31 December 2018:
There was no evidence of potential reversals of impairment losses on investments recognised in previous years.
As regards point a), the carrying amounts of the investments in the following companies have been tested for impairment:
1) Autostrade per l'Italia;
In the case of the operators, Autostrade per l'Italia and Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur, value in use was determined by using the operators' long-term business plans, prepared by the respective companies, containing projections for traffic, investment, costs and revenues through to the end of the related concession terms. Use of long-term plans covering the entirety of the companies' concession terms is deemed more appropriate than the approach provisionally suggested by IAS 36 (a limited explicit projection period and the estimated terminal value), given the intrinsic nature of the concession arrangements, above all with regard to the regulations governing the sector and the predetermined duration of the arrangements.
In the case of Autostrade per l'Italia, the following key assumptions forming the basis of the company's long-term business plan were used in order to conduct the impairment test and estimate value in use, also bearing in mind the regulatory framework for the related concession:

In terms of Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur, a discount rate of 4.57% was used to discount the operating cash flows indicated in the long-term plan, prepared on the basis of the regulatory framework for the related concession and based on expectations of moderate revenue growth.
Both the cash flows and the parameters used to determine the discount rate were primarily based on publicly available information from external sources, integrated, where appropriate, by estimates based also on historical data.
The impairment tests confirmed that the carrying amounts of the investments in Autostrade per l'Italia and in Azzurra Aeroporti are fully recoverable.
In addition to the above impairment tests, sensitivity analyses were conducted on the recoverable values, increasing the above discount rate by 1% and reducing the average annual rate of traffic growth by 1%. The results of these analyses have not, in Autostrade per l'Italia's case, resulted in any material differences with respect to the outcomes of the above tests. In Azzurra Aeroporti's case, instead, the analysis indicated:
Determination of the recoverable amount of the investment in Abertis HoldCo was based on an estimate of fair value using observable market inputs, as determined by a leading financial institution commissioned by Atlantia, involving the computation of market multiples for comparable companies and comparable transactions. The Company's chosen form of impairment test, based fair value measurement, is permitted by IAS 36 and has been confirmed, for this type of transaction, by a specific independent expert opinion.
The computation of market multiples for comparable companies and comparable transactions was carried out on the basis of the ratio of Enterprise Value to EBITDA. Specifically:
The resulting fair values are higher than the carrying amount of the investment in Abertis HoldCo. The identified fair values qualify for level 2 of the fair value hierarchy established by IFRS 13.
Further confirmation of the result of the above tests is provided by the observance of fair values in level 1 during 2018, in line with the price of €18.36 per share paid by Abertis Participaciones on 29 October 2018 in order to acquire 98.7% of Abertis's shares:
As regards investments where there is evidence of potential impairment losses, the recoverable value of the carrying amounts of the following interests was computed:
b) Aero 1;
Separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017
c) Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi.
In terms of the method used in carrying out the impairment test for Pavimental, which essentially provides support services to the Atlantia Group's operators (with regard to their construction and maintenance activities), it was also considered appropriate to estimate value in use on the basis of the same period covered by the long-term plans of the operators to which it provides its services or until 2044, without estimating the terminal value.
The projected after-tax cash flows for the subsidiary's long-term plan were discounted to present value using the discount rate of 6.73%, determined on the basis of the requirements of IAS 36.
The impairment test for Aero 1 was conducted using the Dividend Discount Model, based on the related long-term plans (including the estimated dividends to be paid by the investee, Getlink), applying a discount rate of 7.50%.
The impairment test for Aeroporto Guglielmo Marconi was conducted using the Dividend Discount Model, based on the related long-term plan and applying a discount rate of 6.23%.
The impairment tests confirmed that the carrying amounts of the investments in the above companies are fully recoverable.
In addition to the above tests, sensitivity analyses were conducted on the recoverable values, increasing the indicated discount rates by 1%.
The results of the analysis showed:
With regard to the investment in Compagnia Aerea Italiana, the full value of the investment was written off in the consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017, in view of the entry into extraordinary administration, from 2 May 2017, of its subsidiary, Alitalia-Società Aerea Italiana SpA. This was due to the serious operating and financial difficulties faced by the company, the withdrawal of financial support by its shareholders and the impossibility of rapidly finding alternative solutions. Atlantia does not have a legal or constructive obligation to the investee.
With regard to the investments in Aeroporti di Roma, Autostrade dell'Atlantico, Stalexport Autostrady and Pune Solapur Expressways, the carrying amounts are higher than the matching share of equity. This difference does not represent an indication of a potential impairment of the value of the investments, which is fully recoverable, taking into account:

The change compared with 31 December 2017 broadly reflects the recognition of fair value losses on outstanding hedges as at 31 December 2018.
In 2017, this item primarily consisted of the cost of external consultants (€31,760 thousand) linked to Atlantia's public tender offer, announced in May 2017. These charges, deferred as at 31 December 2017 in other non-current assets on the assumption that the offer would be successful, were then recognised in the Company's income statement in 2018 following its withdrawal of the offer and the agreement regarding a joint investment with ACS and Hochtief. Further details are provided in note 4.2.
This item, which primarily regards trade receivables due from Atlantia Group companies, is up €4,146 thousand compared with 31 December 2017. This primarily reflects an increase in the amount due from subsidiaries for seconded staff.
The carrying amount of trade receivables approximates to fair value.
This item includes:
The overall decrease in cash and cash equivalents substantially reflects outflows relating to the part of the cost of purchasing the investments in Abertis HoldCo, Hochtief and Aero I not funded with debt, as described in note 5.3.
Details of the cash flows resulting in the reduction in cash and cash equivalents during 2018 are provided in note 7.1, "Notes to the statement of cash flows".

Based on Legislative Decree 344/2003 and articles 117 et seq. of Presidential Decree 917/1986, Atlantia has elected for group taxation for the purposes of IRES (tax consolidation arrangement). The arrangement includes:
As a result, Atlantia recognises the following items in its current tax assets and liabilities:
The increase in net current tax assets, compared with 31 December 2017, amounts to €102,334 thousand and essentially reflects the tax benefit resulting from the tax loss for the year (recoverable in 2019 within the tax consolidation arrangement), as well as settlement of the final amount due for 2017 and of the payment on account for 2018 (totalling €56,744 thousand).
This item primarily consists of premiums paid in advance on insurance policies taken out by the Company and withholding tax paid. The figure is broadly in line with 2017.
Atlantia SpA's issued capital as at 31 December 2018 is fully subscribed and paid-in and consists of 825,783,990 ordinary shares with a par value of €1 each, amounting to €825,784 thousand. The issued capital did not undergo any changes in 2018.
Details of the number of shares outstanding as at 31 December 2018, compared with 31 December 2017, are shown below.
| 31/12/2018 | 31/12/2017 | |
|---|---|---|
| Numero di azioni emesse | 825,783,990 | 825.783.990 |
| Numero di azioni proprie in portafoglio | -7.819.488 | -7.982.277 |
| Numero di azioni in circolazione | 817,964,502 | 817,801,713 |
The increase in the number of shares outstanding, and the accompanying reduction in treasury shares, reflects the impact of the conversion of share grants and the exercise of share options (in return for payment of an exercise price of €935 thousand) by the beneficiaries of share-based incentive plans (as described in note 8.3, "Disclosures regarding share-based payments").
Equity is down €300,136 thousand compared with 31 December 2017. The changes, which are shown in detail in the statement of changes in equity included in the financial statements, primarily reflect a combination of the following:
Atlantia manages its capital with a view to creating value for shareholders, ensuring the Group can function as a going concern, safeguarding the interests of stakeholders, and providing efficient access to external sources of financing to adequately support the growth of the Atlantia Group's businesses.

The increase in medium/long-term financial liabilities, compared with 31 December 2017, amounting to €3,008,034 thousand, is primarily due to:
The principal characteristics of the above borrowings are as follows:
Atlantia's Euro Medium Term Note (EMTN) Programme launched in October 2016, and the terms and conditions of the bonds originally issued by Atlantia, with guarantees provided by Autostrade per l'Italia (for which the latter is the sole debtor as a result of the issuer substitution that took place on 22 December 2016), and which will continue to be guaranteed by Atlantia through to September 2025, include negative pledge provisions, in line with international practice. Under these provisions, it is not possible to create or maintain (unless required to do so by law) collateral guarantees on all or a part of any proprietary assets, with the exception of project debt. The method of determining the variables to use in computing the ratios is specified in detail in the relevant loan agreements. Breach of these covenants, at the relevant measurement dates, could constitute a default event and result in the lenders calling in the loans, requiring the early repayment of principal, interest and of further sums provided for in the agreements The two Term Loans, obtained specifically to cover the costs associated with the investment in Abertis, and the revolving credit facilities, obtained in July and October 2018 for general corporate purposes, require compliance, at consolidated level, with a number of financial covenants in line with market practice. These regard a minimum threshold for:
With regard to the financial commitments of the foreign project companies, the related debt does not envisage recourse to direct or indirect parents and is subject to covenants typical of international practice. The main commitments provide for a pledge on all the companies' assets and receivables in favour of their creditors.
"Non-current derivative liabilities" essentially include the measurement of the Forward-Starting Interest Rate Swaps entered into in June 2017 and March 2018 as at 31 December 2018. Further details are provided in note 7.2, "Financial risk management".

This item is down €30,971 thousand compared with 31 December 2017, substantially due to a combination of the following:
Separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017
a) the repayment of short-term bank borrowings obtained in 2017 (amounting to €100,000 thousand);
The balance of "Current derivative liabilities" essentially refers to derivative financial instruments classified as non-hedge accounting. Further details are provided in note 7.2, "Financial risk management".
An analysis of total net debt is shown below with amounts payable to and receivable from related parties, as required by CONSOB Ruling DEM/6064293 of 28 July 2006, in accordance with European Securities and Markets Authority - ESMA Recommendation of 20 March 2013 (which does not entail the deduction of non-current financial assets from net debt).

Other non-current liabilities essentially regard the accrued amount payable in 2019 under staff incentive plans.
Trade payables primarily regard amounts due to suppliers (€15,463 thousand) and amounts due to Atlantia Group companies (€8,443 thousand).
The carrying amount of trade payables approximates to fair value.
Other current liabilities are up €2,442 thousand compared with 31 December 2017, primarily as a result of an increase in amounts payable to staff (including social security contributions) of €1,168 thousand, and increases in sundry taxes other than current income tax and in the other remaining payables, totalling €1,147 thousand.

This section contains analyses income statement items. Negative components of the income statement are indicated with a minus sign in the headings and tables in the notes, whilst amounts for 2017 are shown in brackets.
Details of amounts in the income statement deriving from related party transactions are provided in note 8.2, "Related party transactions".
Operating revenue primarily regards rental income and cost recoveries received from subsidiaries. The item is up €343 thousand, primarily due to an increase (€661 thousand) in rental income and revenue from intra-group services.
These costs relate primarily to purchases of office materials.
An analysis of service costs is provided below.

The increase in this item primarily reflects the cost of external consultants, essentially connected with accrued expenses relating to the acquisition of control of Abertis (€44,162 thousand, including €26,117 thousand recognised in the Company's statement of financial position as at 31 December 2017 on the assumption that Atlantia's public tender offer would be successful, before its later withdrawal), as described in note 4.2. In 2017, the Company recognised the cost of external consultants engaged in the sale of a non-controlling interest in Autostrade per l'Italia (€12,223 thousand).

The reduction in this item reflects a decrease, compared with 2017, in the fair value of the options and units awarded under staff incentive plans for the Company's employees and management. Details of share-based incentive plans or those payable in shares or cash, involving a number of the Company's Directors and employees, are provided in note 8.3, "Disclosures regarding share-based payments".

Net financial income is down, primarily due to a combination of the following:
In addition to the above, and considering the impact of the change in net financial expenses (€55,208 thousand, indicated in note 4.2), relating to the acquisition of control of Abertis, the performance also reflects:
b) the fact that the balance for 2017 included "Reversals of impairment losses on financial assets and investments" (€11,824 thousand, relating to the partial reversal of the impairment loss on the carrying amount of the investment in Pavimental) and "Impairments of financial assets and

Current tax benefits amount to €41,420 thousand for 2018, reflecting the benefit resulting from the tax loss for the year which, in view of the Company's participation in a tax consolidation arrangement, is fully recoverable. Tax expense for 2017 essentially regarded current tax expense linked to Autostrade per l'Italia's distribution of available reserves and payment of the special dividend in kind (resulting in tax expense for Atlantia of €33,804 thousand) and the gain on the sale of interests in Autostrade per l'Italia (€19,393 thousand).
With regard to the tax benefit of €35,103 thousand linked to the costs relating to the acquisition of control of Abertis, previously described in note 4.2, it should be noted that, with regard to the treatment, for the purposes of IRES, of certain expenses (operating and financial) incurred as a result of Atlantia's public tender offer and the later structure of the transaction, involving the joint investment agreement with ACS and Hochtief, in February 2019, the Company applied to the tax authorities for a ruling (pursuant to art. 2, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 147 of 14 September 2015, the so-called "Application for a ruling on new investment"). The application seeks to obtain confirmation of the Company's approach to computing the tax benefit for 2018, a part of which the above expenses were considered to be deductible in full. At the date of this document, the Company is awaiting a response to its application.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the statutory rates of taxation and the effective charge for the year.

Cash flows during 2018 resulted in a reduction in cash and cash equivalents of €2,813,685 thousand, compared with an increase of €2,873,880 thousand in 2017.
Cash generated from operating activities amounts to €572,714 thousand, down €385,863 thousand on 2017 (€958,577 thousand). This primarily reflects a reduction in cash dividends distributed by investees (€183,439 thousand), an increase operating costs and financial expenses (€132,848 thousand), mainly due to the purchase of investments during the year, and the outflows relating to taxation in 2018 (€102,334 thousand, including €56,744 thousand as the payment on account for 2018 and the final balance payable for 2017), compared with the inflow of 2017 linked primarily to recognition of current taxation (€49,710 thousand).
Cash from investing activities, totalling €5,779,472 thousand, primarily reflects:
In contrast, net cash from investing activities in 2017, amounting to €2,624,554 thousand, benefitted primarily from the proceeds from Autostrade per l'Italia's distribution of a portion of its available reserves (€1,101,312 thousand), and proceeds from the sale of interests in the same subsidiary (€1,733,228 thousand) and in Azzurra Aeroporti (€136,434 thousand) and of the entire investment in SAVE (€220,645 thousand).

In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to:
The Company's financial risk management strategy is derived from and consistent with the business goals set by the Board of Directors, within the scope of medium- to long-term projections reviewed annually.
The adopted strategy for each type of risk aims, wherever possible, to eliminate interest rate and currency risks and minimise borrowing costs, whilst taking account of stakeholders' interests, as defined in the Financial Policy as approved by the Board of Directors.
Management of these risks is based on prudence and best market practice.
The main objectives set out in this Financial Policy are as follows:
As at 31 December 2018, the Company's derivatives described below are classified, in application of IFRS 9, as:
The residual average term to maturity of debt as at 31 December 2018 is five years and one month. The average cost of medium to long-term debt in 2018 was 1.7%.
The monitoring of market risk is, moreover, intended to assess, on a continuing basis, counterparty creditworthiness and the degree of risk concentration.
Interest rate risk is linked to uncertainty regarding the performance of interest rates, and takes two forms:
a) cash flow risk: this is linked to financial assets and liabilities, including those that are highly likely, with cash flows indexed to a market interest rate. In order to reduce the amount of floating rate debt, the Company has entered into Forward-Starting IRSs, classified as non-hedge accounting. In 2017 and 2018, in fact, Atlantia entered into Forward-Starting IRSs (to hedge highly likely future financial liabilities linked to refinancing of the borrowings obtained to finance the joint investment in Abertis, as described in note 4.2), with a total notional value totalling €3,000,000 thousand (including €2,250,000 thousand having a duration of 10 years and subject to a weighted average fixed rate of approximately 0.995% and €750,000 thousand with a duration of 12 years at a fixed rate of 1.22%). Fair value losses on these instruments as at 31 December 2018 amount to €74,895 thousand (as at 31 December 2017, fair value gains on the derivatives entered into in 2017 amounted to €1,523 thousand).
The derivative financial instruments (with a deal contingent hedge provision) linked to Atlantia's public tender offer, entered into in June 2017 and already recognised on a non-hedge accounting basis as at 31 December 2017 (fair value losses of €13,511 thousand), as described in notes 4.2 and 5.13, were unwound in October 2018;
b) fair value risk: this represents the risk of losses deriving from an unexpected change in the value a financial asset or liability following an unfavourable shift in interest and market rates. As at 31 December 2018, the Company has not entered into derivatives classified as fair value hedges.
In terms of type of interest rate, based on the face value of total bond issues and borrowings, as shown in note 5.3, 30.8% of the Company's debt is fixed rate. In addition, after taking into account hedges, fixed rate debt accounts for 83.7% of the total.
Currency risk is mainly incurred through the assumption of financial liabilities denominated in a currency other than the Company's currency of account.
Following the Company's repurchase of 99.87% of the sterling-denominated notes issued by Romulus Finance in 2015 (settled in October 2017) and transferred to Aeroporti di Roma in 2016 8as described in note 5.4, "Financial assets"), the Company entered into CCSs with notional values and maturities matching those of the underlying asset. This was done to hedge the currency and interest rate risk associated with the underlying in foreign currency.
The CCSs qualify as cash flow hedges and the related fair value gains, as at 31 December 2018, amount to €56,185 thousand (fair value gains of €51,798 thousand as at 31 December 2017).
In addition, with regard to the non-hedge accounting transactions referred to above, in December 2018, Grupo Costanera ("GCS") paid a dividend (totalling €52,560 million Chilean pesos, equal to €68,149 thousand as at 10 December 2018, being the date on which GCS's shareholders approved the dividend) to Autostrade dell'Atlantico. In order to reduce the risk linked to fluctuations in the euro-peso exchange rate, Autostrade dell'Atlantico entered into an FX Forward contract with the Company (with a notional value of as at 31 December 2018 of €61,791 thousand), expiring on 31 January 2019. The Company in turn then entered into a mirror transaction with financial institutions in order to eliminate any remaining risk. As these contracts are classified as non-hedge accounting, the related changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss for the year (the fair value of the derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company resulted in a loss on those entered into with Autostrade dell'Atlantico and a gain on
those entered into with the financial institutions, and amounts to €1,524 thousand as at 31 December 2018).
With regard to the loan tranches disbursed by Autostrade dell'Atlantico to Electronic Transaction consultants between 2014 and 2018 (the principal amounts to US\$46,370 thousand as at 31 December 2018, equal to €40,498 thousand), in order to reduce the risk of fluctuations in the dollar-euro exchange rate, Autostrade dell'Atlantico entered into an FX Forward with the Company, having a three-month term, renewable. The Company in turn then entered into a mirror transaction with financial institutions in order to eliminate any remaining risk. As these contracts are classified as non-hedge accounting, the related changes in fair value are recognised in profit or loss for the year (the fair value of the derivative financial instruments entered into by the Company resulted in a gain on those entered into with Autostrade dell'Atlantico and a loss on those entered into with the financial institutions, and amounts to €157 thousand as at 31 December 2018, compared with €528 thousand as at 31 December 2017).
The following table summarises outstanding derivative financial instruments at 31 December 2018 (compared with 31 December 2017) and shows the corresponding market value.

Sensitivity analysis describes the impact that the interest rate and foreign exchange movements to which the Company is exposed would have had on the income statement for 2018 and on equity as at 31 December 2018.
The interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure of (derivative and non-derivative) financial instruments at the end of the reporting period, assuming, in terms of the impact on the income statement, a 0.10% (10 bps) shift in the interest rate curve at the beginning of the year, whilst, with regard to the impact of changes in fair value on other comprehensive income, the 10 bps shift in the curve was assumed to have occurred at the measurement date. The following outcomes resulted from the analysis carried out:
b) in terms of currency risk, an unexpected and unfavourable 10 bps shift in the exchange rate would have had no impact on the income statement or on other comprehensive income.
Liquidity risk relates to the risk that cash resources may be insufficient to fund the payment of liabilities as they fall due. The Company believes that its ability to generate cash, the ample diversification of its sources of funding and the availability of unused revolving credit facilities provides access to sufficient sources of finance to meet its projected financial needs.
As at 31 December 2018, the Company has cash reserves of €2,854,693 thousand, consisting of:

Credit risk represents the Company's exposure to potential losses resulting from a counterparty's failure to discharge an obligation.

This risk may result from factors that are strictly technical, commercial, administrative or legal in nature, or from those of a typically financial nature, relating to the counterparty's credit standing.
The Company manages credit risk essentially through recourse to counterparties that are for the most part Atlantia Group companies with high credit ratings and does not report significant credit risk concentrations as defined in the Financial Policy.
Credit risk deriving from derivative financial instruments can also be considered marginal in that the counterparties involved are major financial institutions.
Specific provisions for impairment losses on material items are established when there is objective evidence that the Group will not be able to collect all or any of the amount due. The amount of the provisions takes account of estimated future cash flows and the date of collection, any future recovery costs and expenses, and the value of any security and guarantee deposits received from customers. General provisions, based on the available historical and statistical data, are established for items for which specific provisions have not been made.
The Company has certain personal guarantees in issue. As at 31 December 2018, these include, in terms of importance:
In addition, the company has also pledged:
The principal related party transactions between the Company and its related parties are described below. The transactions have been identified based on the criteria set out in the Procedure for Related Party Transactions adopted by the Company in implementation of the provisions of art. 2391bis of the Italian Civil Code, the Regulations adopted by the Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (the CONSOB) in Resolution 17221 of 12 March 2010, as amended. This procedure, published in the section, "Articles of Association, codes and procedures" on the Company's website at www.atlantia.it, establishes the criteria to be used in identifying related parties, in distinguishing between transactions of greater and lesser significance and in applying the rules governing the above transactions of greater and lesser significance, and in fulfilling the related reporting requirements.

In 2018, as in 2017, no non-recurring, atypical or unusual transactions, having a material impact on the Company's income statement and statement of financial position, were entered into with related parties.
The principal transactions entered into with related parties are described below.
Transactions of a trading nature primarily regard the provision of administrative services (training, welfare, procurement, IT, general services, property services, etc.).
The Company has entered into service agreements with a number of direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Autostrade per l'Italia, EssediEsse, Telepass, Telepass Pay, Azzurra Aeroporti, Autostrade dell'Atlantico and Autostrade Meridionali.
With regard to tax management, as a result of the tax consolidation arrangement headed by the Company, the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018 includes amounts receivable from and payable to Atlantia Group companies, amounting to €43,987 thousand and €46,065 thousand respectively. These amounts are recognised by the Company in order to mirror matching amounts due to and from the tax authorities. The arrangement is described in note 5.9.
With regard, on the other hand, to other current liabilities, the Company owes the sum of €7,470 thousand to Aeroporti di Roma and its subsidiaries, essentially in relation to the tax consolidation arrangement in force between these companies and Gemina prior to this company's merger with the Company at the end of 2013. As stated in note 5.9, Atlantia has recognised an equal amount due from the tax authorities.
In terms of financial liabilities, as described in note 5.13, in 2018, the Company received a deposit (maturing within twelve months) from the subsidiary, Telepass, amounting to €80,000 thousand.
In terms of financial assets, it should be noted that:
With specific regard to transactions of a financial nature with Autostrade per l'Italia, described in note 5.4, it should be noted that, in 2018, Atlantia collected repayment of the loan (with a face value of €1,000,000 thousand) granted to the subsidiary in 2012, and of the cash deposit of €500,000 thousand, included in "Cash equivalents" as at 31 December 2017.
As at 31 December 2018, the Company has issued a number of guarantees in favour of direct or indirect subsidiaries, as described in note 8.1, "Guarantees".
In order to incentivise and foster the loyalty of directors and employees holding key positions and responsibilities within Atlantia or in Atlantia Group companies, and to promote and disseminate a value creation culture in all strategic and operational decision-making processes, driving the Atlantia Group's growth and boosting management efficiency, a number of share incentive plans based on Atlantia's shares have been introduced in previous years. The plans entail payment in the form of shares or cash and are linked to the achievement of predetermined corporate objectives.
With the exception of the "Supplementary Incentive Plan 2017 – Phantom Share Options" described below, there were no changes, during 2018, in the share-based incentive plans already adopted by the Atlantia Group as at 31 December 2017.
Details of each plan are contained in specific information circulars prepared pursuant to art. 84-bis of CONSOB Regulation 11971/1999, as amended, and in the Remuneration Report prepared pursuant to art. 123 ter of the Consolidated Finance Act. These documents, to which reference should be made, are published in the "Remuneration" section of the Company's website at www.atlantia.it.
The following table shows the main aspects of existing incentive plans as at 31 December 2018, including the options and units awarded to directors and employees of the Atlantia Group and changes during 2018 (in terms of new awards and the exercise, conversion or lapse of rights). The table also shows the fair value (at the grant date) of each option or unit awarded, as determined by a specially appointed expert, using the Monte Carlo model and other assumptions. The amounts have been adjusted for the amendments to the plans originally approved by Atlantia's shareholders, which were required to ensure plan benefits remained substantially unchanged despite the dilution caused by the bonus issues approved by Atlantia's shareholders on 20 April 2011 and 24 April 2012.

As approved by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 20 April 2011, and amended by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 30 April 2013 and 16 April 2014, the 2011 Share Option Plan entails the award of up to 2,500,000 options free of charge in three annual award cycles (2011, 2012 and 2013). Each option will grant beneficiaries the right to purchase one ordinary Atlantia share held in treasury, with settlement involving either physical delivery or, at the beneficiary's option, a cash payment equivalent to the proceeds from the sale of the shares on the stock exchange organised and managed by Borsa Italiana SpA, after deduction of the full exercise price. The exercise price is equivalent to the average of the official prices of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the month prior to the date on which Atlantia's Board of Directors announces the beneficiary and the number of options to be awarded. The options granted will vest in accordance with the Plan terms and conditions and, in particular, only if, on expiration of the vesting period (three years from the date of award of the options to beneficiaries by the Board of Directors), cumulative FFO for the three annual reporting periods preceding expiration of the vesting period, adjusted for a number of specific items (total operating cash flow of the Atlantia Group or of certain of its subsidiaries – depending on the role held by the various beneficiaries of the Plan), is higher than a pre-established target, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors, which has the authority to assign beneficiaries further targets. Vested options may be exercised, in part, from the first day following expiration of the vesting period and, in part, from the end of the first year following expiration of the vesting period and, in any event, in the three years following expiration of the vesting period (subject to the clause in the Plan terms and conditions requiring executive Directors and key management personnel to retain a minimum holding). The maximum number of exercisable options will be calculated on the basis of a mathematical algorithm that takes account, among other things, of the current value and the exercise price, plus any dividends paid, so as to cap the realisable gain.

During 2018, with regard to the second and third award cycles (the vesting periods for both of which have expired), a number of beneficiaries exercised vested options and paid the established exercise price; this entailed the allocation to them of Atlantia's ordinary shares held by the Company as treasury shares. This resulted in the transfer of:
Thus, as at 31 December 2018, taking into account lapsed options at that date, the remaining options outstanding total 91,518, including 44,722 phantom options awarded under the third cycle (the unit fair values of which, as at 31 December 2018, was measured as €2.93, in place of the unit fair values at the grant date).
As approved by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 20 April 2011, and amended by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders on 30 April 2013, the 2011 Share Grant Plan entails the grant of up to 920,000 units free of charge in three annual award cycles (2011, 2012 and 2013). Each unit will grant beneficiaries the right to receive one Atlantia ordinary share held in treasury, with settlement involving either physical delivery or, at the beneficiary's option, a cash payment equivalent to the proceeds from the sale of the shares on the stock exchange organised and managed by Borsa Italiana SpA.
The units granted will vest in accordance with the Plan terms and conditions and, in particular, only if, on expiration of the vesting period (three years from the date the units are granted to beneficiaries by the Board of Directors), cumulative FFO for the three annual reporting periods preceding expiration of the vesting period, adjusted for a number of specific items (total operating cash flow of the Atlantia Group or of certain of its subsidiaries – depending on the role held by the various beneficiaries of the Plan) is higher than a pre-established target, unless otherwise decided by the Board of Directors. Vested units may be converted into shares, in part, after one year from the date of expiration of the vesting period and, in part, after two years from the date of expiration of the vesting period (subject to the clause in the Plan terms and conditions requiring executive Directors and key management personnel to maintain a minimum holding). The number of convertible units will be calculated on the basis of a mathematical algorithm that takes account, among other things, of the current value and initial value of the shares so as to cap the realisable gain.
On 14 November 2018, the units awarded during the third award cycle (the vesting period for which expired on 9 November 2018) were converted, in accordance with the Plan Terms and Conditions, into Atlantia's ordinary shares. As a result, Plan beneficiaries received 97,336 shares held by the Company as treasury shares.
As at 31 December 2018, all the units awarded under this plan have thus lapsed.
The following table shows the main aspects of the cash-settled incentive plans. The table shows the options awarded to directors and employees of the Company and changes (in terms of new awards and the exercise, conversion or lapse of rights, and transfers or secondments to other Atlantia Group companies) during 2018. The table also shows the fair value (at the grant date) of each option awarded, as determined by a specially appointed expert, using the Monte Carlo model and other assumptions.
On 16 April 2014, the Annual General Meeting of Atlantia's shareholders approved the new incentive plan named the "2014 Phantom Share Option Plan", subsequently approved, within the scope of their responsibilities, by the boards of directors of the subsidiaries employing the beneficiaries. The plan entails the award of phantom share options free of charge in three annual award cycles (2014, 2015 and 2016), being options that give beneficiaries the right to payment of a gross amount in cash, computed on the basis of the increase in the value of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the relevant three-year period. In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the plan, the options granted will only vest if, at the end of the vesting period (equal to three years from the date on which the options were awarded to the beneficiaries by the Board of Directors), a minimum operating/financial performance target for (alternatively) the Atlantia Group, the Company or for one or more of Atlantia's subsidiaries, as indicated for each Plan beneficiary (the "hurdle"), has been met or exceeded. The vested options may be exercised from, in part, the first day immediately following the vesting period, with the remaining part exercisable from the end of the first year after the end of the vesting period and, in any event, in the three years after the end of the vesting period (without prejudice to the Terms and Conditions of the plan as regards minimum holding requirements for executive directors and key management personnel). The number of exercisable options is to be computed in application of a mathematical algorithm, taking into account,

among other things, the current value, the target value and the exercise price, in order to cap the realisable gain.
The vesting period for the second cycle of the Plan expired on 8 May 2018. A total of 411,222 vested options awarded under the second award cycle and the first cycle were exercised in 2018. Thus, as at 31 December 2018, after taking into account lapsed options and transfers at that date, the remaining options outstanding amount to 1,027,915. The unit fair values of the options awarded under the first, second and third award cycles were remeasured as at 31 December 2018 as €6.01, €1.20 and €1.34, respectively, in place of the unit fair values at the grant date.
On 21 April 2017, the Annual General Meeting of Atlantia's shareholders approved the new incentive plan named the "2017 Phantom Share Option Plan", subsequently also approved, within the scope of their responsibilities, by the boards of directors of the subsidiaries employing the beneficiaries. The Plan entails the award of phantom share options free of charge in three annual award cycles (2017, 2018 and 2019), to be awarded to directors and employees with key roles within the Atlantia Group. The options grant beneficiaries the right to payment of a gross amount in cash, computed on the basis of the increase in the value of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the relevant period.
In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Plan, the options granted will only vest if, at the end of the vesting period (15 June 2020 for options awarded in 2017, 15 June 2021 for options awarded in 2018 and 15 June 2022 for options awarded in 2019), one or more minimum operating/financial performance targets for (alternatively) the Atlantia Group, the Company or one or more of Atlantia's subsidiaries, as indicated for each Plan beneficiary (the "hurdle"), have been met or exceeded. A portion of the vested options may be exercised from the 1 July immediately following the end of the vesting period, with the remaining options exercisable from the end of the first year after the end of the vesting period and, in any event, in the three years from 1 July of the year in which the vesting period ends (without prejudice to the Terms and Conditions of the Plan as regards minimum holding requirements for executive directors and key management personnel). The number of exercisable options is to be computed in application of a mathematical algorithm, taking into account, among other things, the current value, the target value and the exercise price, in order to cap the realisable gain.
On 3 August 2018, Atlantia's Board of Directors selected the beneficiaries for the second cycle of the Plan in question. This resulted in the award of a total of 493,247 phantom options with a vesting period from 3 August 2018 – 15 June 2021 and an exercise period from 1 July 2021 to 1 July 2024. As at 31 December 2018, after taking into account lapsed options at that date, the remaining options outstanding amount to 1,052,260. The unit fair value of the options of the first and second cycle at that date were remeasured as €1.83 and €1.67, respectively, in place of the unit fair value at the grant date.
This plan, approved by the General Meeting of Atlantia's shareholders on 2 August 2017, was designed to provide incentives for a limited number of core people particularly involved in the process of building and creating value at the new Atlantia Group that would have been formed following the acquisition of control of Abertis, had Atlantia's public tender offer been successful. No options were granted in 2017 whilst awaiting the outcome of Atlantia's public tender offer.

Separate financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2017
In view of the fact that the structure of the transaction changed in 2018, following the agreements reached with ACS and Hochtief regarding the acquisition of Abertis, and the resulting withdrawal of Atlantia's public tender offer, Atlantia's Annual General Meeting, held on 20 April 2018, voted to modify certain definitions in the plan and reduce the maximum number of options (as defined below) from 7.5 million to 5 million.
Following the changes made by the above Annual General Meeting, therefore, the plan entails the award of up to 5 million phantom share options free of charge, in a single cycle and within 3 months of the date of the acquisition of control of Abertis (being options that give beneficiaries the right to payment of a gross amount in cash). The options are to be awarded to the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and employees of the Company and its subsidiaries, limited to core people involved the integration process and the creation of value for the Atlantia Group.
The options awarded will vest in accordance with the specified Terms and Conditions and may in part be exercised from the first day immediately after the vesting period, with the remaining options exercisable at the end of the first year following the end of the vesting period, and in any event in the three years following the expiry of this period (without prejudice to the provisions of the Plan Terms and Conditions as regards minimum holding requirements for executive directors and key management personnel). The number of exercisable options is to be computed in application of a mathematical algorithm, taking into account, among other things, the current value, the target value and the exercise price, in order to cap the realisable gain.
Following completion of the acquisition of control of Abertis, on 29 October 2018, the conditions for award of the options to the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer had been met. The remaining beneficiaries were then approved in a later resolution of Atlantia's Board of Directors at a meeting held on 18 January 2019, which awarded a total of 4,134,833 phantom options, vesting between 29 October 2018 and 29 October 2021, and exercisable between 30 October 2021 and 29 October 2024. The unit fair value of the options as at 31 December 2018 was remeasured as €1.80 in place of the unit fair value at the grant date.
On 21 April 2017, the Annual General Meeting of Atlantia's shareholders approved the new incentive plan named the "2017 Phantom Share Option Plan", subsequently also approved, within the scope of their responsibilities, by the boards of directors of the subsidiaries employing the beneficiaries. The Plan entails the award of phantom share options free of charge in three annual award cycles (2017, 2018 and 2019), to be awarded to directors and employees with key roles within the Atlantia Group. The options grant beneficiaries the right to payment of a gross amount in cash, computed on the basis of the increase in the value of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the relevant period.
In accordance with the Terms and Conditions of the Plan, the options granted will only vest if, at the end of the vesting period (15 June 2020 for options awarded in 2017, 15 June 2021 for options awarded in 2018 and 15 June 2022 for options awarded in 2019), one or more minimum operating/financial performance targets for (alternatively) the Atlantia Group, the Company or one or more of Atlantia's subsidiaries, as indicated for each Plan beneficiary (the "hurdle"), have been met or exceeded. A portion of the vested options may be exercised from the 1 July immediately following the end of the vesting period, with the remaining options exercisable from the end of the first year after the end of the vesting period and, in any event, in the three years from 1 July of the year in which the vesting period ends (without prejudice to the Terms and Conditions of the Plan as regards minimum holding requirements for executive directors and key management personnel). The number of exercisable options is to be computed in application of a mathematical algorithm, taking into account, among other things, the current value, the target value and the exercise price, in order to cap the realisable gain.
On 3 August 2018, Atlantia's Board of Directors selected the beneficiaries for the second cycle of the Plan in question. This resulted in the award of a total of 49,624 phantom options with a vesting period from 3 August 2018 to 15 June 2021 and an exercise period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024.
As at 31 December 2018, after taking into account lapsed options at that date, the remaining options outstanding amount to 99,973. The unit fair values of the options from the first and second award cycles at that date were remeasured as €19.29 and 18.06, in place of the unit fair value at the grant date.
The official prices of Atlantia's ordinary shares in the various periods covered by the above plans are shown below:
In accordance with the requirements of IFRS 2, as a result of existing plans, in 2018 the Company has recognised staff costs of €517 thousand, based on the accrued fair value of the options and units awarded at that date. In contrast, the liabilities represented by phantom share options outstanding as at 31 December 2018 have been recognised in other current and non-current liabilities, based on the assumed exercise date.

Giovanni Castellucci Giancarlo Guenzi Chief Executive Officer Manager responsible for financial reporting

7 March 2019
Giovanni Castellucci Giancarlo Guenzi Chief Executive Officer Manager responsible for financial reporting Report of the Board of Statutory Auditors to the Annual General Meeting (pursuant to art. 153 of Legislative Decree 58/1998)
The Board of Statutory Auditors of Atlantia SpA ("Atlantia" or the "Company"), pursuant to art. 153 of Legislative Decree 58/1998 (the "Consolidated Finance Act" or "CFA"), is required to report to the Annual General Meeting, called to approve the financial statements, on the audit activities conducted during the financial year within the scope of our responsibilities, on any omissions and irregularities observed and on the results for the Company's financial year. The Board of Statutory Auditors is also required to make proposals regarding the financial statements and their approval and on any other matters falling within the scope of our responsibilities.
This report regards the Atlantia Board of Statutory Auditors' activities during the year ended 31 December 2018.
The Board of Statutory Auditors in office at the date of this report was elected by the Annual General Meeting of 20 April 2018 and its members are Corrado Gatti (Chairman), Alberto di Nigro (standing Auditor), Sonia Ferrero (standing Auditor), Lelio Fornabaio (standing Auditor) and Livia Salvini (standing Auditor).
During the annual reporting period ended 31 December 2018, the Board of Statutory Auditors performed the audit procedures required by law (and, in particular by art. 149 of the CFA and art. 19 of Legislative Decree 39/2010), adopting the Standards recommended by the Italian accounting profession and in compliance with CONSOB requirements regarding corporate controls, and the recommendations in the Corporate Governance Code.
In accordance with the provisions of art. 149 of the CFA, the Board of Statutory Auditors is required to oversee:
The Board of Statutory Auditors obtained the information needed in order to conduct its assigned audit activities by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors and of the various board committees,
during discussions with the management of the Company and the Group, during meetings with the independent auditors and with the boards of statutory auditors of Group companies, through examination of the information obtained by the relevant company departments and through further audit activities.
The above audit procedures were carried out during 23 meetings of the Board of Statutory Auditors (including 8 held by the Board of Statutory Auditors in office until approval of the financial statements for 2017, and 15 by the new Board), by taking part in 16 meetings of the Board of Directors, and through the participation of the Chairman of the Board of Statutory Auditors, or another Auditor, in meetings of the Internal Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee and the Human Resources and Remuneration Committee, and the Board's participation in the General Meetings of shareholders held on 21 February 2018 and 20 April 2018. In addition, as a result of the audit procedures carried out and on the basis of the information obtained from the independent auditors, we are not aware of any negligence, fraud, irregularities or any other material events, that would require a report to be made to regulatory bodies.
Moreover, the Board of Statutory Auditors:
Audit of compliance with the principles of corporate governance and of the adequacy of the organisational structure
The Board of Statutory Auditors:
The Board of Statutory Auditors observed that adequate supporting documentation on matters to be discussed at Board of Directors' meetings was made available to the Directors and Statutory Auditors with reasonably in advance by publication in a specific internal database. In addition, during the year, the Company organised induction sessions for Directors and Statutory Auditors (3 were held in 2018), focusing on issues relating to Atlantia's operations, its business and the strategies of its key subsidiaries.
Based on the information obtained, the Board of Statutory Auditors notes that strategic decisions are correctly informed and reasonable and that Directors are aware of the risks involved and the impact of the transactions carried out.
The Board of Statutory Auditors did not find evidence of material atypical and/or unusual transactions, including intra-group or intra-group and other related party transactions.
The Board has also assessed the adequacy of the information provided in the management report on operations, regarding the absence of atypical and/or unusual transactions, including intra-group or intragroup and other related party transactions.
With regard to the provisions of art. 149, paragraph 1.cbis of the CFA relating to the Board of Statutory Auditors' supervision "of the methods of actually implementing the corporate governance rules laid down in the corporate governance codes prepared by stock exchange companies and the related trade associations, with which the Company has publicly declared it will comply", the Board of Statutory Auditors reports that:
The Board of Statutory Auditors has verified ordinary or recurring related party and/or intra-group transactions, with regard to which we report the following:
■ intra-group transactions, whether of a trading or financial nature, between subsidiaries and parents are conducted on an arm's length basis. Such transactions are adequately described in the Annual Report. In particular, note 10.5 to the consolidated financial statements, "Related party

transactions", provides details of the impact on the income statement and financial position of trading and financial transactions between the Atlantia Group and related parties, including Atlantia's Directors, Statutory Auditors and key management personnel. Related party transactions did not include exceptional and/or unusual transactions and, during 2018, the Atlantia Group did not engage in material trading or financial relations with Atlantia's direct or indirect parents;
Pursuant to art. 19 of Legislative Decree 39/2010, as amended by Legislative Decree 135/2016, the committee responsible for the internal and statutory audits of an entity, whose role, in entities of public interest (which include listed companies) that have adopted a traditional governance system, is fulfilled by the board of statutory auditors, is responsible for:
Committee, a Board committee, with the aim of coordinating expertise, exchanging information, engaging in ongoing consultation and avoiding any overlap between their activities.
* * *
With specific reference to Legislative Decree 39/2010, the following should be noted.
A) Reporting to the Board of Directors on the outcome of the statutory audit and on the additional report required by art. 11 of the European Regulation (EU) 537/2014
The Board states that the independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche SpA ("Deloitte & Touche") issued the additional report required by art. 11 of the European Regulation on 27 March 2019, describing the results of its statutory audit of the accounts and including the written confirmation of independence required by art. 6, paragraph 2.a) of the Regulation, in addition to the disclosures required by art. 11 of the Regulation, without noting any significant shortcomings. The Board of Statutory Auditors will inform the Company's Board of Directors of the outcome of the statutory audit, submitting to Directors the additional report, accompanied by any eventual observations pursuant to art. 19 of Legislative Decree 39/2010. With regard to the previous financial year, the Board of Statutory Auditors informed the Board of Directors of the outcome of the statutory audit at the meeting held on 11 May 2018.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has verified the existence of regulations and procedures governing the process of preparing and publishing financial information. In this regard, the Annual Report on Corporate Governance and the Ownership Structure defines guidelines for the establishment and management of administrative and accounting procedures. The Board of Statutory Auditors, with the assistance of the manager responsible for financial reporting, examined the procedures involved in preparing the Company's financial statements and the consolidated financial statements, in addition to periodic financial reports. The Board of Statutory Auditors also received information on the process that enabled the manager responsible for financial reporting and the Chief Executive Officer to issue the attestations required by art. 154bis of the CFA on the occasion of publication of the separate and consolidated annual financial statements and of the interim half-year report.
With reference to the oversight required by art. 19 of Legi slative Decree 39/2010, relating to financial reporting, the Board of Statutory Auditors has verified that the administrative and accounting aspects of the internal control system, as they relate to the attestations to be issued by the Chief Executive Officer and the manager responsible for financial reporting, were revised in 2018. The process entailed Grouplevel analyses of significant entities and the related significant processes, through the mapping of activities carried out to verify the existence of controls (at entity and process level) designed to oversee compliance risk in respect of the law and accounting regulations and standards relating to periodic financial reporting. Effective application of the administrative and accounting procedures was verified by the manager responsible for financial reporting, with the assistance of the relevant internal departments (including the Internal Audit department) and leading firms of consultants.
The Board of Statutory Auditors also verified the adequacy of the guidelines communicated by the Company to its subsidiaries pursuant to article 114, paragraph 2 of the CFA and, with regard to art. 15 of the CONSOB Regulation on markets, adopted with CONSOB Resolution 20249 of 28 December 2017 (which has introduced requirements for subsidiaries incorporated under, or regulated by, the laws of non-EU states and of material significance for the purposes of the consolidated financial statements), verified that the Group companies to which the regulations are applicable have adopted procedures enabling them to submit reporting packages, for use during preparation of the consolidated financial statements, on a regular basis to the Company's management and the Parent Company's independent auditors.
On 7 March 2019, the Chief Executive Officer and the manager responsible for financial reporting issued the attestations of the consolidated and separate financial statements required by art. 81ter of CONSOB Regulation 11971 of 14 May 1999, as amended.
The Board of Statutory Auditors thus believes the financial reporting process to be adequate and deems that there is nothing to report to the General Meeting.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has overseen the adequacy and efficiency of the internal control and risk management systems. It is recalled that, in order to assess the correct functioning of the internal control system, in 2018 the Board of Directors made use of the Internal Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee, the Head of the Group's Internal Audit department (operating with an adequate level of independence and suitably equipped to carry out the assigned role), who reported on her activities to the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, the Internal Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board of Statutory Auditors, the Group Control and Risk Management department, the Head of Anticorruption for Atlantia and the Group, the Supervisory Board and the Ethics Officer.
In particular, during its periodic meetings with the Head of Internal Audit and the Head of Group Control and Risk Management, the Board of Statutory Auditors was kept fully informed regarding internal auditing activities (with a view to assessing the adequacy and functionality of the internal control system, and compliance with the law and with internal procedures and regulations), and Risk Management activities, which is responsible for overseeing the management of risk via correct implementation and development of the COSO Enterprise Risk Management (ERM), a methodological framework that Atlantia has adopted to identify, measure, manage and monitor the risks inherent in the Company's current Business Risk Model (compliance, regulatory and operational risks).
It should be recalled that, on 11 December 2014, the Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Director Responsible for the Internal Control and Risk Management System, with the prior agreement of the Internal Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee and having consulted with the Board of Statutory Auditors, established an Internal Audit department (later named "Group Internal Audit"), effective from 1 January 2015, and appointed, with effect from the same date, the Group's Head of Internal Audit. In accordance with art. 11.3 of Atlantia's Corporate Governance Code, "the Head of Internal Audit is responsible for verifying that the internal control and risk management system is properly functioning and fit for purpose". The same person is required to prepare "periodic reports containing sufficient information on audit activities, the method of risk management and compliance with plans developed for risk mitigation. The periodic reports must contain an assessment of the internal control and risk management system". On 15 February 2018, the Head of Group Internal Audit issued its report on the fitness of the internal control and risk management system, which supplements the reports prepared periodically and submitted to the Internal Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board of Statutory Auditors, and contains an assessment of whether or not the internal control and risk management system is fit for purpose (to the extent of her responsibilities). This assessment then forms the basis for the overall assessment of the internal control system that Atlantia's Internal Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee submits annually to the Company's Board of Directors. The report for 2018, issued on 14 February 2019, states that the internal control and risk management system is fit to ensure that the Company is managed in a way that is sound, proper and consistent with preestablished objectives.
Art. 1.3 of Atlantia's Corporate Governance Code requires the Board of Directors to define the nature and degree of risk compatible with the issuer's strategic goals, including an assessment of all the risks that may affect the medium/long-term sustainability of the Company's operations.
On the recommendation of the Director Responsible for the Internal Control and Risk Management System, with the agreement of the Internal Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee and in consultation with the Board of Statutory Auditors, at its meeting of 2 March 2018, the Board of Directors set out the guidelines for the internal control and risk management system and gave a positive assessment of Atlantia's internal control and risk management system.
At its meeting of 8 June 2018, the Board of Directors established the nature and degree of risk compatible with the strategic goals of Atlantia and the Group.
At its meeting of 14 December 2018, the updated catalogue of risks was presented to the Board of Directors. On this occasion, the meeting was provided with a description of the guidelines to be followed in the event of an emergency situation involving Atlantia, as well as the information that subsidiaries should provide to the Parent Company and the information that Atlantia should provide to its stakeholders. These guidelines form the structure and the content of a Group procedure for managing emergencies, to be implemented alongside the existing procedures used by Autostrade per l'Italia and Aeroporti di Roma.
Finally, at the meeting of 7 March 2019, after noting the conclusions of the analysis by the Control, Risk and Corporate Governance Committee of the information provided by staff responsible for the internal control and risk management system, the Board of Directors concluded that the internal control and risk management system can be deemed adequate, efficacious and in good working order.
In addition, the Board of Statutory Auditors also notes that, during 2018, Atlantia's Supervisory Board (set up in compliance with Legislative Decree 231/2001) continued its review of the organisational, management and control model ("OMCM") adopted by Atlantia, pursuant to Legislative Decree 231/2001, in order to ensure that the model had kept pace with changes in legislation and in the Company's organisational structure during the year.
The latest revision of the OMCM was approved by Atlantia's Board of Directors on 15 December 2017. The Supervisory Board, assisted by the relevant departments within the Company, is preparing to revise the OMCM, based on recent changes in legislation and in the Company's operating environmental and organisation. This will be submitted for approval by the Board of Directors.
The Supervisory Board also implemented the plan of action for monitoring and assessing the adequacy and effective implementation of the OMCM.
The Board of Statutory Auditors has examined the Supervisory Board's reports on their activities in the first and second halves of 2018 and we do not have anything to mention in this regard in this report.
With regard to the tragic collapse of the Morandi road bridge, Atlantia's Board of Statutory Auditors has, in the course of carrying out its duties, received continuous, in-depth updates on matters relating to the subsidiary, Autostrade per l'Italia. The information was provided during meetings of the Board of Directors and Board Committees, and during meetings with management, the board of statutory auditors of the subsidiary, Autostrade per l'Italia and with the subsidiary's consultants and advisors. The information provided also regarded the extraordinary infrastructure monitoring programme carried out by the subsidiary's area offices, the steps taken by the Group's Internal Audit department to conduct an independent, objective and fact-based reconstruction of the activity carried out by ASPI in relation to the Polcevera road bridge in the last ten years, insurance cover, the resources needed to compensate the victims' families, to support people forced to abandon their homes, to provide financial assistance for businesses affected by the collapse and for the demolition and reconstruction of the road bridge, the correspondence between ASPI and the ministry of Infrastructure and Transport and with the Special commissioner, Marco Bucci, in addition to the actions taken to protect the Company's interests.
D) Oversight of the statutory audit of the separate and consolidated financial statements
We declare that:

The Board of Statutory Auditors verified, also with reference to the provisions of art. 19 of Legislative Decree 39/2010, the independence of the independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche, checking the nature and entity of any non-audit services provided to Atlantia, its subsidiaries and entities under common control by the auditors and by their associates. The fees paid by the Atlantia Group to the independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche or associates of Deloitte & Touche, are as follows:
| €000 | |
|---|---|
| Audit | 2,008 |
| Certification (audit-related) | 40 |
| Other services | 409 |
| Total | 2,457 |
It should be noted that the category "Other services" (those other than audit or certification) includes €239 thousand regarding the services relating to signature of the Company's tax return and Form 770, a review of the sustainability report, agreed-upon procedures on accounting data and information, comfort letters on loans and bond issues, checks relating to tenders in which the Group participated and additional audits of pro forma financial information. A further €60 thousand regards checks on the internal control system, data protection and the 231 corporate liability guidelines drawn up by the Group for its overseas companies (services provided by associates of the independent auditors), whilst €110 thousand regards checks on the internal control system, agreed-upon procedures on accounting data and information and comfort letters on loans (services provided by associates of the independent auditors).
"Other Services" accounted for 19.97% of the total fees paid for "Audit" and "Certification (auditrelated)" services.
In the light of the above, the Board therefore believes that the independent auditors, Deloitte & Touche, meet the requirements for independence. Deloitte & Touche provided their annual confirmation of independence on 27 March 2019.
Finally, it should be noted that, pursuant to art. 13, paragraph 1 of Legislative Decree 39/2010, on 5 March 2019, the Board of Statutory Auditors submitted its reasoned proposal, to be put to shareholders, in relation to Deloitte & Touche's request for the payment of additional fees, received by the Company on 4 March 2019. The request follows the enlargement of the scope of consolidation following Atlantia's acquisition of the Abertis Infraestructuras group, which will result in an increase, of a recurring nature, in the workload relating to the audit of the separate and consolidated annual financial statements and the six-monthly interim report from 2018 and in the remaining two years of the independent auditors' engagement (2019 and 2020).
The Board of Statutory Auditors states that:
Four complaints under art. 2408 of the Italian Civil Code were received during the year, three from the shareholder, Marco Bava (the owner of 1 share in the Company) and one from the shareholder, Tommaso Marino (the owner of 2 shares in the Company), the latter addressed however to the board of statutory auditors of the subsidiary, Autostrade per l'Italia.
In particular, at 10.57pm on 15 August 2018, a certified email was received from the shareholder, Marco Bava, notifying the Board of Statutory Auditors, in the person of Corrado Gatti (Chairman), of a complaint pursuant to art. 2408 of the Italian Civil Code, and relating to the collapse of the Morandi road bridge, planned work on the infrastructure, the potential damage to shareholder were ASPI's concession to be terminated and the subsidiary's criminal liability.
At 1.29am on 21 August 2018, a certified email was received from the shareholder, Marco Bava, notifying the Board of Statutory Auditors, in the person of Corrado Gatti (Chairman), of a further complaint pursuant to art. 2408 of the Italian Civil Code, also addressed to the Italian President, the Prime Minister and, for their information, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister for Economic Development, relating to demolition of the part of the Morandi road bridge that has not collapsed, the design for the reconstruction, an alleged attempt to soften the Italian government's response to the incident and a request for the resignation or immediate dismissal of the Chairman of Atlantia, Fabio Cerchiai, and its chief Executive Officer, Giovanni Castellucci.
At 1.06am on 24 August 2018, a certified email was received from the shareholder, Marco Bava, requesting the Board of Statutory Auditors, in the person of Corrado Gatti (Chairman), to call a general meeting of shareholders to elect new a management team and approve a new business plan taking into account the costs to be incurred by the operator as a result of the events. This email was also addressed to the Italian President, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Minister for Economic Development and all the members of the CONSOB.
The Board of Statutory Auditors examined the complaints received and, pursuant to art. 2408 of the Italian Civil Code, states the following in response to the concerns raised by the shareholder, Marco Bava.
386
For complete disclosure, the Board of Statutory Auditors also notes that, at 2.30pm on 15 August 2018, an email was mistakenly sent to ASPI's Board of Statutory Auditors by Atlantia's shareholder, Tommaso Marino, requesting an investigation into alleged irregularities, negligence and incompetence on the part of management and personnel, censuring the relevant conduct. In this regard, the Board notes that Autostrade per l'Italia has stated that it is convinced that it has complied with its concession obligations and, whilst awaiting the outcome of the ongoing investigation into the causes of the collapse, Atlantia has prepared its consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 taking into account the latest estimates of the costs directly linked to the collapse, without prejudicing any determination of liability.
With specific regard to our examination of the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018, the consolidated financial statements (prepared in accordance with the IAS/IFRS issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by the European Union, and in compliance with the measures introduced by the CONSOB in application of paragraph 3 of art. 9 of Legislative Decree 38/2005) and the report on operations, the Board of Statutory Auditors states the following:
Atlantia's Board of Directors has approved the Consolidated Non-financial Statement for 2018, prepared pursuant to Legislative Decree 254/2016.
On 27 March 2019, the independent auditors issued their report on the compliance of the information provided in the consolidated non-financial statement with statutory requirements and reporting standards adopted. The independent auditors have drawn attention to the disclosures provided in the section, "The
Atlantia Group for Genoa", regarding the collapse of the Polcevera road bridge and the initiatives taken by the Atlantia Group following this event. The independent auditors have not made any remarks on these aspects.
The Board of Statutory Auditors oversaw compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree 254/2016 and we do not have anything to mention in this regard in this report.
The Board of Statutory Auditors is in favour of approval of the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018 and has no objections regarding the Board of Directors' proposal for the appropriation of profit for the year and the distribution of a portion of distributable "Retained earnings".
The term of office of the Board of Directors elected by the Annual General Meeting of 21 April 2016 expires with approval of the financial statements as at and for the year ended 31 December 2018. You are thus invited, in accordance with the law and the Company's articles of association, to elect a new Board of Directors.

Pursuant to art. 144 quinquiesdecies of the Regulations for Issuers, approved by the CONSOB with Resolution 11971/99, as amended, the list of positions held by members of the Board of Statutory Auditors at the companies in Book V, Section V, Chapters V, VI and VII of the Italian Civil Code is published by the CONSOB on its website (www.consob.it).

Board of Statutory Auditors The Chairman Corrado Gatti


| In response to the Event, on August 16, 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (the "MIT or "Grantor") sent to ASPI a letter of complaint relating to serious breaches of its contractual obligations regarding routine and extraordinary maintenance, as to its obligation as laid down in the Single Concession Arrangement (the "Concession"). |
|
|---|---|
| ASPI, in its response dated August 31, 2018, and in the subsequent letter dated September 13, 2018, presented its counterarguments, rejecting the accusation that it had failed to meet its contractual obligations. |
|
| Subsequently, in a letter dated December 20, 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport added further to its letter of complaint of August 16, 2018, giving ASPI 120 days from receipt of the letter to provide further counterarguments, specifically in relation to information on aspects regarding the system used to monitor infrastructure and the potential causes of the collapse. |
|
| ASPI believes, in part based on the opinion of leading experts, that communications with the Grantor do not qualify as the initial act in the procedure leading to termination of the concession, in accordance with Article 9 of the Concession. |
|
| Considering the significance of the Event and the potential effects on the regulatory regime, in the event of any changes to the Concession granted to ASPI, we have considered this issue as a key matter to the audit report on the consolidated financial statements of the Atlantia Group as at December 31, 2018. |
|
| Note 10.7 to the consolidated financial statements, the "Statement to shareholders" and the section, "Outlook and risks or uncertainties", in the report on operations provide the disclosures relating to the aspects indicated above. |
|
| Audit procedures performed |
As part of our audit we have, among other things, carried out the following procedures, also with the support of our legal experts: |
| · acquisition and analysis of the correspondence between MIT and ASPI concerning the Event; · analysis of deliberations and reports provided by the Board or Directors of ASPI and Atlantia about the Event; · examination of the opinions of the legal consultants engaged by ASPI with reference to evaluation of the Operator's position within the Concession Framework. · acquisition and analysis of Law Decree 109 of September 28, 2018, as amended and converted into Law 130 of November 16, 2018 (the "Genoa Decree"), along with the correspondence between the Group with the Special Commissioner and the CONSOB (Commissione Nazionale per la Società e la Borsa); · meetings and discussions with the management of Atlantia S.p.A. and the Operator and the supervisory bodies with regard to the aspects in |
|
| the previous points; analysis of subsequent events until the date of this report. |
| In consideration of the significance of the event that occurred and the significance of the effects, we considered this issue a Key Audit Matter in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Atlantia Group as at December 31, 2018. |
|
|---|---|
| Notes 7.14 and 8.17 to the consolidated financial statements provide the disclosures relating to the points mentioned above. |
|

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 14 OF LEGISLATIVE DECREE No. 39 OF JANUARY 27, 2010 AND ARTICLE 10 OF THE EU REGULATION 537/2014
To the Shareholders of Atlantia S.p.A.
We have audited the financial statements of Atlantia S.p.A. (the Company), which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2018, and the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2018, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/05.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements applicable under Italian law to the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

| In response to the Event, on August 16, 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport (the "MIT or "Grantor") sent to ASPI a letter of complaint relating to serious breaches of its contractual obligations regarding routine and extraordinary maintenance, as to its obligation, as laid down in the Single Concession Arrangement (the "Concession"). |
|
|---|---|
| ASPI, in its response dated August 31, 2018, and in the subsequent letter dated September 13, 2018, presented its counterarguments, rejecting the accusation that it had failed to meet its contractual obligations. |
|
| Subsequently, in a letter dated December 20, 2018, the Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport added further to its letter of complaint of August 16, 2018, giving ASPI 120 days from receipt of the letter to provide further counterarguments, specifically in relation to information on aspects regarding the system used to monitor infrastructure and the potential causes of the collapse. |
|
| ASPI belleves, in part based on the opinion of leading experts, that communications with the Grantor do not qualify as the initial act in the procedure leading to termination of the concession, in accordance with Article 9 of the Concession. |
|
| Considering the significance of the Event and the potential effects on the regulatory regime, in the event of any changes to the Concession granted to subsidiary ASPI, we have considered this issue as a key matter in the audit report on the financial statements of Atlantia S.p.A as at December 31, 2018. |
|
| The "Statement to shareholders" and the section "Outlook and risks or uncertainties" in the report on operations provide the disclosures relating to the aspects indicated above. |
|
| Audit procedures performed |
As part of our audit we have, among other things, carried out the following procedures, also with the support of our legal experts: |
| · acquisition and analysis of the correspondence between MIT and ASPI concerning the Event; |
|
| analysis of deliberations and reports provided by the Board of Directors of | |
| ASPI and Atlantia about the Event; examination of the opinions of the legal consultants engaged by ASPI with reference to the evaluation of the Operator's position within the Concession Framework; |
|

|||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| In accordance with the requirements of IAS 36, the Company, at least annually, verifies the carrying amount of investments ("Impairment testing"), including goodwill. |
||||
| In particular, the impairment test for ASPI has been performed by comparing the recoverable value of the investment, determined on the basis of the "value In use" method, and its carrying amount. |
||||
| In determining the recoverable amount of the investment in ASPI, the Company considered future cash flows based on the long-term business plan prepared by ASPI on the basis of the assumptions and regulatory mechanisms envisaged by the Single Concession Arrangement (the "Concession"). In particular, the assumptions include traffic forecasts, future investment to be carried out and the toll rates that are expected to be recognized based on the current Concession. |
||||
| In determining the recoverable amount of the investment in Abertis HoldCo, the Company referred to the fair value estimated at the acquisition date using observable market inputs and also with the support of an external consultant. In consideration of the significance of the amount of the above-described investments and the complexity of the related valuation process, we considered the related impairment test a key matter in the audit of the financial statements of Atlantia S.p.A., |

The Directors are responsible for the preparation of financial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the European Union and the requirements of national regulations issued pursuant to art. 9 of Italian Legislative Decree no. 38/05 and, within the terms established by law, for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they have identified the existence of the liguidation of the Company or for the termination of the operations or have no realistic alternative to such choices.
The Board of Statutory Auditors is responsible for overseeing, within the terms established by law, the Company's financial reporting process.
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISA Italia), we exerclse professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
We communicate with those charged with governance, identified at an appropriate level as required by ISA Italia, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence applicable in Italy, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence and, where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report.
The Shareholders' Meeting of Atlantia S.p.A. has appointed us on April 24, 2012 as auditors of the Company for the years from December 31, 2012 to December 31 2020.
We declare that we have not provided prohibited non-audit services referred to in art. 5 (1) of EU Regulation 537/2014 and that we have remained independent of the Company in conducting the audit. We confirm that the opinion on the financial statements expressed in this report is consistent with the additional report to the Board of Statutory Auditors, in its role of Audit Committee, referred to in art. 11 of the said Regulation.
The Directors of Atlantia S.p.A. are responsible for the preparation of the report on operations and the report on corporate governance and ownership structure of Atlantia S.p.A. as at December 31, 2018, including their consistency with the related financial statements and their compliance with the law.
We have carried out the procedures set forth in the Auditing Standard (SA Italia) n. 720B in order to express an opinion on the consistency of the report on operations and some specific information contained in the report on corporate governance and ownership structure set forth in art. 123-bis, n. 4 of Legislative Decree 58/98 with the financial statements of Atlantia S.p.A. as at December 31, 2018 and on their compliance with the law, as well as to make a statement about any material misstatement.

In our opinion, the above-mentioned report on operations and information contained in the report on corporate governance and ownership structure are consistent with the financial statements of Atlantia S.p.A. as at December 31, 2018 and are prepared in accordance with the law.
With reference to the statement referred to in art. 14, paragraph 2 (e), of Legislative Decree 39/10, made on the basis of the knowledge and understanding of the related context acquired during the audit, we have nothing to report.
