| • NET CAPEX |
Capital Expenditure, net of asset disposals, excluding Investments in Financial Fixed Assets and Equity Investments |
| • FREE CASH FLOW |
Cash generated by the company after deducting capital expenditures from its operating cash flow. Free cash flow does not include the following items: acquisitions, disposals, dividends (both dividends paid to Group shareholders and dividends paid to minority partners) and other equity movements |
| • NET CASH FLOW |
Cash generated by the company after deducting acquisitions, disposals, dividends (both dividends paid to Group shareholders and dividends paid to minority partners) and other equity movements from its free cash flow |

Definitions
| • | NET INVESTED CAPITAL | Non-Current Assets plus Current Assets less Current Liabilities less Other Non-Current non Financial Assets and Liabilities |
|---|---|---|
| • | CONSTANT EXCHANGE RATES CHANGE |
Constant currency basis restates the prior year results to the current year's average exchange rates |
| • | LIKE FOR LIKE REVENUE GROWTH |
Like for like revenue growth is calculated by adjusting organic revenue growth for new openings and closings and for any calendar effect. Like for like growth (%) = like for like change / revenue of the previous year adjusted to exclude i) revenue relating to those points of sales that are no longer active in the current year (closings and disposals), ii) exchange rate movements and iii) any calendar effect |
| • | NEW WINS AND RENEWALS |
Total revenue per region is calculated as the sum of the total sales of each contract included in the cluster. Total revenue per contract is calculated as the sum of estimated revenue during the contract length. Average duration is calculated as weighted average on total revenue of duration for each signed contract. "New" refers to new spaces not previously managed by the Group. "Renewal" refers to the extension of existing contracts. Mixed new/renewal contracts are counted as new or renewal based on prevalence in terms of revenue. Contracts consolidated with the equity method are included |

FY2021 guidance
Risk perspective has been fully embedded in the forecasts
| Key building blocks | Examples | |
|---|---|---|
| Macroeconomic scenario |
GDP growth expectations | Most countries would take more than two years to recover and rebuild to pre COVID-19 levels, based on several institutional sources |
| Willingness to travel |
Presence of localized/full lockdowns/restrictions | Assuming potential localized restrictions also in summer in Italy |
| Epidemiologic model developed by Autogrill Data Lab and driving: |
||
| • Number of cases per country based on contagion risk and hospitalization likelihood (modeled through stochastic branch processing) |
US vaccination speed: 60% of the population covered by Oct. 2021 |
|
| • Vaccine effectiveness (also considering virus variants) and deployment speed |
80-90% vaccine efficacy (excl. South African and Brazilian variants with 50- 60% efficacy) |
|
| • Traffic crunch/ recovery based on increasing/decreasing number of cases based on historical time series of the actual epidemic curve |
4-5 weeks delay in airport traffic recovery vs. cases decrease |
|
| Traffic features | Channel mix by geography | Multi-channel nature of Europe |
| International-domestic passenger traffic mix | North America mostly focused on domestic flights (>90%) |
|
| Leisure-business passenger traffic mix by channel | Global airport business traffic < 20% of total global airport traffic |
|
| Different levels of resilience / shape of recovery across channels and geographies |
Domestic air passenger recovery trend in China in 2020 |
Key priorities Ensure health and safety of Autogrill's employees and customers Focus on margins and cash conversion P&L flexibility and efficient cost base, retaining structural improvements achieved in 2020 Protect and enhance the Group core business 63Autogrill guidance for 2021 – Priorities and model assumptions
Autogrill Group
model assumptions
€/\$ FX of 1.21(1)
Two scenarios:
- CONSERVATIVE CASE: revenue growth of +15% - +20% vs. FY2020 (i.e. -55% -50% vs. FY2019)
- BASE CASE: revenue growth of +30% - +35% vs. FY2020 (i.e. -50% -45% vs. FY2019)
Continued focus on P&L flexibility and cash preservation across all the scenarios:
- Labor cost: layoffs and reduction of temporary workers
- Rents: continued talks with all the landlords for suspension/relief of minimum guaranteed amounts
- Other costs: suspended all non-essential costs
- Capex: continued review of scope, size and construction costs of ongoing investment plans
- Working capital: improving outflows agreeing payment delays and discounts with suppliers

2021 guidance released in March 2021 has been revised on the back of the improvement of the operating performance in the 2Q2021

FY2024 midterm ambition
Key assumptions
Revenue growth driven by traffic recovery

Each 0.01 movement in Euros to the US Dollars exchange rate has a +/- €20m annualized impact on 2024 revenue

Assuming €/\$ FX of 1.22 for 2024 - Source: Bloomberg, FactSet,EIU,Oxford Economics (1) 2019 revenue rebased for:
- Closings of low profitability contracts and disposal of US Motorways and Spain
- €/\$ FX of 1.22 Source: Bloomberg, FactSet,EIU,Oxford Economics- vs 2019 FX of 1.12
Several stores with limited potential are being closed, with positive impact on EBIT margin and cash generation

Rationalization of several stores, contributing to relevant increase on Group EBIT margin, mainly related to:
- Disposal of US motorway business
- Disposal of the business in Spain
- Committed closure of locations in North America (expiring motorways and low profitability airports)
- Committed closure of selected locations in APAC
- Committed exit(1) of low profitability motorways in


Data in EUR
A Airports recovering faster than other channels in the long run...


(1) 2025 onwards calculated considering only countries relevant for Autogrill (i.e., Europe and North America) Source: major consulting company - see appendix for details
COVID-19 structural improvements will be further scaled-up, driving higher profitability


Example of push on additional revenue sources for airports
High-margin beverages share of revenue, 2020 US data (Autogrill)

Beverage mix has shown fast recovery, with current value (24%) exceeding pre-COVID-19 level

Capex – Disciplined and dynamic capex management


Potential upsides: bolt-on acquisitions and new wins
Autogrill can further increase its presence in the convenience segment and in high-growth areas

- Convenience historically growing segment (+4% CAGR 2015-2019) with top-notch cash conversion (~70-80%) and profitability (~12-14% cash EBITDA%1 )
- Between 2016 and 2019 AGL acquired and successfully integrated 3 companies: Stellar Partners, Avila, Pacific Gateway with valuation ranging between 4-7x target's cash EBITDA(1) (pre-synergies)
The North American airport convenience segment APAC and Middle Eastern countries in the airport channel

- AGL international presence rapidly grew in last years (RoW(2) revenue in 2019 = 3x 2014)
- Good profitability expected (cash EBITDA(1) of 13-16%)
- Further growth achievable with a two-step approach:
-
- Consolidation of current footprint (Vietnam, India, ...)
-
- Scale-up / expansion in other geographies (Indonesia, Middle East, …)
-
Potential revenue uplift up to €200-250m by 2024 (not included in the targets)
