| MANAGEMENT'S STATEMENT ON THE INTERIM REPORT 23 |
The Board of Directors has today approved the interim report for the period 1 January – 30 September 2021.
Growth in passenger numbers during the summer and the receipt of DKK 120 million from the government support packages, meant that CPH closed out the third quarter at a DKK 77.2 million profit before tax and pretax loss of DKK 773.6 million for the first nine months of 2021.
A total of 3.8 million passengers passed through Copenhagen Airport's terminals during the third quarter, and the traffic volume in September amounted to 46.2% of the volume in the same month of 2019, the last year of pre-pandemic normality. Air travel began to stage a comeback in Europe during the summer, supported by Covid passports, vaccines, eased restrictions and the underlying demand for travel.
While European traffic is making a comeback, things look very different for the long-haul intercontinental routes to the US or Asia, for example. Passenger numbers for these routes were at 13% of the 2019 levels, down from 2.9 million to 0.4 million.
Travel restrictions are largely lifted in Denmark, and the US and Thailand are reopening for tourism and travel in November. The US is one of the world's most important markets. Before the coronavirus crisis, as many as one million people travelled on routes from the US to Denmark every year. It is essential for CPH's status as a hub that transfer traffic starts up again, so passengers from the Nordics, the Baltics and Northern Europe can fly via Copenhagen to destinations in North America and Asia.
Despite the increase in passenger numbers during the summer, the early months of the year, continue to weigh on the performance for 2021 year to date. Due to COVID-19 CPH needed to draw DKK 129.8 million on its facilities to finance operations in the third quarter
Revenue was down by 67.5% relative to the first nine months of 2019, ending at DKK 1,073.7 million (relative to the same period of 2020, revenue was down 19.0%). For the third quarter, revenue totalled DKK 625.7 million, a 47.8% decline relative to the third quarter of 2019.
In May, CPH negotiated an extension to its DKK 6 billion credit facility until August 2023. At the same time, the current temporary waiver on certain debt conditions was agreed with the existing lenders until the end of 2022. Cash is critical in a severe crisis, such as the one CPH has been struggling with since March of last year. Currently CPH has had to draw DKK 2.2 billion on its credit facilities in order to keep the airport running.
At CPH, ambitions remain intact for the green transition of aviation. In 2019, Copenhagen Airport was certified as carbon neutral under the Airport Carbon Accreditation programme. The target is for the airport to be emissions-free already by 2030.
The green transition is a particular challenge just now because airlines and airports are under extreme financial pressure. It is crucial that any future levies imposed on air travel are spent specifically to support a sustainable transition of aviation. In this context, the Aviation Climate Partnership has proposed to charge about DKK 30 per airline ticket and to channel the money raised to a climate fund to promote competitive green fuels produced that can contribute to creating a new industry adventure for Denmark in combination with efforts to develop aviation.
The future development of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to be uncertain. Regulation or other limitations restricting international travel may still have a significant adverse effect on the aviation industry as well as passenger levels.
Revenue is mainly passenger-driven and hence remains equally uncertain, while CPH's cost base for the rest of the year largely fixed.
This uncertainty is reflected in the range for the profit before tax outlook. Based on current conditions, management expects a loss before tax for the full year within the range of DKK -800m to DKK -700m.
CAPEX spend for the year is expected to be DKK 550-600 million.
Dividends to shareholders have been suspended for now due to the financial situation and conditions for receiving compensation from the Danish government's support packages. Furthermore, the DKK 6 billion credit facilities agreement and the loan covenant waiver agreements with existing lenders, which were entered into in May 2020 have been extended, and in this connection CPH has agreed not to pay out dividends in the period until 22 August 2023.

Suffering a 22.2% year-on-year drop in passenger numbers in the first nine months of 2021, Copenhagen Airport continues to be significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Consolidated revenue for the first nine months of 2021 amounted to DKK 1,073.7 million, a 19.0% decline from the same period of 2020. Aeronautical revenue amounted to DKK 508.5 million, which was 14.1% less than in the first nine months of 2020. Passenger numbers decreased both due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 crisis and the fact that the first two months of 2020 were not impacted by the pandemic. Non-aeronautical revenue amounted to DKK 565.2 million, which was 22.9% less than in the first nine months of 2020. Due to the pandemic, most of the concessionaires were closed during the first half of 2021, while several specialty shops and concessionaires in the restaurant and convenience segment reopened in the third quarter of 2021.
Other Income decreased by DKK 211.4 million, reflecting a higher amount of compensation from the Danish government's support packages recognised in the first nine months of 2020 than in the same period of 2021.
Operating costs including depreciation and amortisation amounted to DKK 1,850.4 million, a decrease of DKK 177.2 million compared to last year. Staff costs decreased by DKK 318.7 million because of the reduced headcount, job-sharing activities as well as cost-saving initiatives. In addition, depreciation and amortisation increased by DKK 121.8 million. External costs increased by DKK 19.7 million, mainly due to the higher level of activity.
EBITDA amounted to a profit of DKK 121.3 million, down by DKK 163.7 million compared to the first nine months of 2020.
Net financing costs amounted to DKK 118.8 million, which was an increase of DKK 31.6 million due to an increase in committed credit facilities and recycling of amortised financial costs in 2021.
Profit/(loss) before tax fell by DKK 320.0 million year on year to a loss of DKK 773.6 million.

Net financing costs were DKK 31.6 million higher than in the same period of 2020.
Interest expenses decreased by DKK 7.4 million due to a lower average interest rate after two USPP loans were repaid in June 2020.
Capitalised interest on assets under construction decreased by DKK 19.2 million, primarily due to lower average interest rates and reduced investments.
Other financial costs increased by DKK 18.0 million due to an increase in committed credit facilities and recycling of amortised financial costs in 2021.
Tax on profit/(loss) for the period is recognised on the basis of estimated tax. As the result for the period is negative, a DKK 171.0 million tax asset has been recognised in the balance sheet.

The decline in revenue caused by the COVID-19 pandemic was the main reason for the negative cash flow from operations. Furthermore, CPH received more compensation from the Danish government's support packages in the first nine months of 2020 than in the same period of 2021. The negative cash flow effect was partly offset by cost-saving actions taken and reduced tax payments.
Cash flow from investing activities primarily related to investments in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
Major investments in the first nine months of 2021 included the expansion of Terminal 3, the construction of a multi-storey car park, new baggage facilities, runway renovation, various IT systems, as well as miscellaneous improvement and maintenance work.
The cash flow from financing activities primarily relates to net draws on credit facilities and amortisation of loans.
CPH had cash and cash equivalents of DKK 214.1 million at 30 September 2021 (30 September 2020: DKK 20.0 million).

The total number of passengers increased by 2.2 million or 130% in the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. Traffic was positively affected by the lifting of travel restrictions and the fact that several countries have reopened their borders for international travel. The increase in vaccination levels and decrease in infection levels also contributed to more passengers in the third quarter of 2021.
The total number of passengers travelling through Copenhagen Airports in the first nine months of 2021 was 5.2 million, equivalent to a decrease of 22.2% compared to the same period of 2020. Of this number, 2.3 million were locally departing passengers (14.1% down from last year) and 0.3 million were transfer passengers (47.6% down from last year).
Locally departing passengers accounted for 87.7% of all departing passengers, while transfer and transit passengers accounted for 12.3%.
Total seat capacity decreased by 18.9% in the first nine months of 2021. The number of passengerrelated operations dropped by 20.4%. The average cabin factor (occupancy) decreased by 1.8% to 55.0% in the first nine months of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020.

Total aeronautical revenue year to date decreased by DKK 83.6 million, or 14.1%, compared to the same period last year. This was due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and partly offset by adjustments in charges effective from 1 January 2021.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, passenger charges decreased 15.8% from last year to DKK 204.7 million. Security, handling, and CUTE charges decreased by 17.5% compared to last year, ending at DKK 152.0 million.
Take-off charges amounted to DKK 122.9 million, down 11.8% compared to the same period of 2020 due to fewer flight operations.
Passenger-related operations fell by 20.4%, while cargo operations were up by 24.9% due to the ongoing demand for cargo. In addition, the take-off weight for passenger-related operations was down by 21.0%.
EBIT decreased by DKK 124.1 million, mainly due to international travel restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, CPH received more in compensation from the Danish government's support packages in 2020 than in the same period of 2021. The net impact was partly offset by staff costs decreasing as a result of the alignment of the cost structure to the lower activity levels and cost-saving activities.

In general, all concession, parking and other revenue were severely impacted by the sharp drop in activity resulting from the COVID-19 crisis.
Concession revenue from the shopping center amounted to DKK 147.5 million in the first three quarters of 2021, a 52.9% decline compared to the same period of last year. Due to the pandemic, most of the concessionaires were closed throughout the first half of 2021, while several specialty shops and concessionaires in the restaurant and convenience segment reopened in the third quarter of 2021.
Fewer passengers meant fewer people parking and, as a result, revenue from parking fell by 23.6%.
Other revenue amounted to DKK 39.8 million, a 50.6% increase compared to last year, mainly due to revenue from other services.

Revenue from sales of services, etc. increased by DKK 23.0 million, corresponding to a 16.2% increase. This was primarily due to an increase in revenue from the hotel operation due to the opening of Comfort Hotel in May 2021.
EBIT was down by DKK 164.3 million compared to the same period of last year. The decrease is primarily explained by lower revenue as a result of the international travel restrictions imposed due to the COVID-19 crisis. Furthermore, CPH received less compensation from the Danish government's support packages in 2021 compared to the same period of 2020. In addition, staff costs and external costs decreased as a result of the alignment of the cost structure to the lower activity levels.
Other than as stated elsewhere in this interim report, no material changes have occurred in the short-term risks and uncertainties to which CPH is subject, compared to the information provided in the 2020 Annual Report.
This interim report contains forward-looking statements as described in the US Private Securities Litigation Act of 1995 and similar acts of other jurisdictions. In particular, this includes statements concerning future revenue, operating profit, business expansion and capital investments.
Such statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, as various factors, many of which are beyond CPH's control, may cause actual results and performance to differ materially from the forecasts provided elsewhere in this interim report.
Such factors include general economic and business conditions, changes in exchange rates, demand for CPH's services, competitive factors within the aviation industry and operational matters in one or more of the Group's businesses.

Dividends to shareholders in 2020 and 2021 have been suspended because of the financial situation and conditions for receiving compensation from the Danish government's support packages. Furthermore, the DKK 6 billion credit facilities agreement and the loan covenant waiver agreements with existing lenders, which were entered into in May 2020, have been extended, and as part of the arrangement, CPH has agreed not to pay out dividends in the period until 22 August 2023.
CPH is a public limited company domiciled in Denmark and listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen.
The interim report comprises the condensed consolidated financial statements of Copenhagen Airports A/S.
The interim report is presented in accordance with international accounting standard IAS 34 for Interim Financial Reporting and additional Danish disclosure requirements for the interim reports of listed companies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes various accounting estimates and assumptions that form the basis of the presentation, recognition and measurement of CPH's assets and liabilities.
The estimates made by CPH in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are based on estimates and assumptions that are subject to future events. These include estimates of the useful lives of property, plant and equipment, and their residual values. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical data and factors that management considers relevant under the given circumstances. These assumptions may have to be revised, and unexpected events or circumstances may occur. For a description of risks and accounting estimates, see pages 43-44 and page 61 of the 2020 Annual Report, which specifies the notes that contain significant estimates and judgements.
The accounting policies applied in the interim report are unchanged from those applied in the 2020 Annual Report except as set out below. The 2020 Annual Report was prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) as adopted by the EU. For further information, see page 61 of the 2020 Annual Report, which provides a list of the notes containing accounting policies, and the Summary of significant accounting policies on pages 62-63.
With effect from 1 January 2021, CPH has implemented the following new standards that have been adopted by the EU:
Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7 regarding the IBOR reform, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase II (issued on 27 August 2020), effective 1 January 2021
CPH has established that the implementation of the above has not had a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
In the first nine months of 2021, CPH invested DKK 420.1 million in intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. Major investments made during the first nine months of 2021 include the expansion of Terminal 3, the construction of a multi-storey car park, new baggage facilities, runway renovation, various IT systems, as well as miscellaneous improvement and maintenance work.
End of May 2021, CPH and Strawberry Group closed a deal on the new Comfort Hotel, establishing a coownership of CPH's Hotel activities, with Strawberry Group contributing fixed assets (the Comfort Hotel) in return for an ownership share of Copenhagen Airport Hotels A/S. The transaction has resulted in a contribution of DKK 1,011 million of property plant and equipment and a corresponding minority interest ownership share of equity of DKK 673.1 million at 30 September.
At 30 September 2021, CPH had entered into contracts to build and maintain facilities at a total value of DKK 141.4 million (31 December 2020: DKK 210.6 million) and other commitments amounting to DKK 66.8 million (31 December 2020: DKK 50.9 million). Major commitments include contracts for the expansion of the parking facilities (Multi Storey Car Park) and the development of Terminal 3.
