Passengers Revenue EBITDA

  • Pax growth driven by strong local economy and outbound demand to Bali and KL due to strong AUD

  • Earnings growth largely driven by pax growth, greater car parking product penetration and favourable rent reviews

  • Strong domestic demand augmented by continued LCC capacity additions resulting in significant pax growth

  • Earnings benefited from growth in aero and retail income and improved margin following completion of terminal expansions at Gold Coast

  • Decline in EBITDA margin due to higher maintenance and property related charges

Passengers Revenue EBITDA

  • New Asian routes and strong AUD drove international pax while LCCs continued to stimulate domestic demand

  • Aero and retail revenue grew in excess of pax growth, however retail partly constrained by T2 construction and property income was flat on pcp

  • Slight improvement in EBITDA margin achieved

  • Pax grew as result of continued capacity growth, particularly international where strong AUD drove demand

  • Revenue boosted by strong commercial revenues from duty free and car rental

  • EBITDA margin decreased due to significant maintenance work, largely on Darwin Airport’s airfield lighting and terminal building

Growing revenue and EBITDA due to growth in passenger numbers, completion of development projects and incremental investment in APAC

Net interest paid increasing as debt is drawn to fund developments; facilities also have a higher cost as assets refinance at post GFC rates

Decrease in tax as Perth Airport made “double payments” in FY09 as it entered PAYG regime

Maintenance capex increase reflects runway overlays at Townsville and Mt Isa - these are infrequent, higher cost projects

Statewide Roads concession expired in Feb 2010

Revenues and EBITDA normalised to exclude non-recurring items.

Net interest paid sourced from management accounts cashflows, excluding refinancing costs.

Tax paid sourced from management account cashflows. Maintenance capex based on management estimates, except where unavailable (APAC), depreciation used as a proxy.

Note: Figures for 31 December 2009 half year differs from previous disclosure due to reclassification of HTAC and expiry of Statewide Roads concession. Note: Excluding incremental APAC acquisition, revenue and EBITDA increased 15.8% and 17.5 % respectively on pcp.
