  • While EBITDA grew strongly during the year, incremental costs associated with pax growth, combined with wage increases, resulted in EBITDA margin remaining flat on the pcp

  • Increased operating income reflects a net increase in dividends and distributions from assets

  • Gains on investments are below those achieved in the pcp primarily due to:

  • strong uplift in valuation for APAC (largely comprising Melbourne Airport) and Perth in the pcp

  • Increase in operating expenses relates to:

  • one-off strategic advisory costs; and

  • increased management fee following security price appreciation

  • Increased finance costs due to commitment fees on increased AIX fund level debt facility (increased from $30m to $100m in August 2011)

  • Reduced income tax expense due to strengthening of AUD / EUR cross rate reducing HTAC unrealised gains and associated deferred tax liability

----- End of picture text -----

  • Passenger growth rates improved in second half of FY2012

  • strong AUD and exposure to the WA resources sector likely to continue to stimulate growth at Perth

  • short-term domestic pax numbers (excluding Perth) may remain subdued but confidence remains in longterm growth and value

  • Focusing on longer-term fundamentals, AIX portfolio is well placed

  • diversified across core airport portfolio; a strength in current economic environment

  • continuing scope for future investment in AIX airports

  • AIX has announced today that it has executed an MOU with the Future Fund

  • ˗ This is intended, subject to conditions precedent, to lead to the sale of all the assets of AIX

  • Strong passenger growth of 7.1% was experienced in 2011, outperforming the average for German airports of 4.8%

  • Growth was partially a result of weather disruptions that reduced traffic in 2010, but also a reflection of Dusseldorf Airport’s increasing prominence as Germany’s third major hub airport, with intercontinental traffic the main driver of pax growth, up 10.4% on the pcp

  • Growth in both aviation and non-aviation revenue was driven by higher passenger volumes, with a strong increase in landing fees, up 7.9% on the prior corresponding period, more than offsetting a reduction in ground handling revenue

  • Hamburg similarly experienced solid passenger growth in 2011, primarily driven by international passengers

  • This reflects the resilience of Germany as a business location and its strong GDP growth

  • Increased aviation revenues reflecting growth in passengers, partially offset by reduction in ground handling revenues which was largely a reflection of the high de-icing revenues earned in late 2010 in addition to a slight loss in market share

  • Lower maintenance and winter service costs due to the mild winter resulted in improved EBITDA margin

  • The proportionally larger decrease in EBITDA was driven by increased provisioning and higher utility costs, which offset the modest cost reductions that were achieved elsewhere

  • The Greek Government continues to explore the option of extending the AIA concession period and investigate sell-down options, however discussions remain protracted
