Regulatory News:
Aéroports de Paris (Paris:ADP) (Pink Sheets:AEOPF) is holding
today an investor day dedicated to institutional investors and
sell-side analysts. The main objectives of this day are:
- To present the strategic orientations
of the new 2011-2015 regulation framework
- To present the Group's targets by 2015
in terms of economic performance and quality of service
- To detail the 2011-2015 retail and real
estate strategy, growth levers and targets by 2015.
An EBITDA growth target of +40% between 2009 and 2015
Aéroports de Paris intends to pursue an investment strategy on
its core business in order to improve the quality of service and to
increase the attractiveness of its airports while intensifying its
productivity efforts. At the same time, the Group will continue to
develop its retail and real estate activities.
Thanks to this strategy and based on a traffic growth assumption
of +3.2% on average per year over the period 2011-2015 (0% in 2010,
+2.0% in 2011, +2.4% in 2012, +3.9% in 2013, 2014 and 2015), the
Aéroports de Paris Group targets to improve the EBITDA by 40%
between 2009 and 2015.
Ambitious retail targets
Aéroports de Paris intends to pursue its strategy of retail
development by implementing 4 levers:
- To continue to increase surfaces
dedicated to retail
- To improve the organisation of retail
areas
- To expand retail offer
- To drive towards operating
excellence.
Aéroports de Paris targets to increase retail surfaces by 21%
between 2009 and 2015, including an increase of shops in restricted
areas by 35% and to reach sales per passenger of €17.4 in the shops
in restricted areas by 2015.
Continued development of real estate
With 446 hectares of available land reserves, real estate is at
the heart of the development strategy of Aéroports de Paris.
Aéroports de Paris is aiming at becoming a top landholding trust
exploiting the potential of development provided by the airport and
the proximity of Paris by implementing 3 levers:
- To maintain a role of land servicer and
reinforce that of investor
- To develop several product
segments,
- To invest independently or in
partnership depending on the project.
Aéroports de Paris targets to develop, independently or in
partnership, between 320,000 m² and 360,000 m² of buildings by
2015, including approximately 75% dedicated to diversification real
estate. The main projects in progress are the development of a
shopping mall at Paris-Charles de Gaulle (Aéroville), Roissypole
and Cœur d'Orly.
The corresponding investments borne by Aéroports de Paris would
be between €500m and €560m, including €430m to €480m dedicated to
diversification real estate.
A new Economic Regulation Agreement geared towards quality of
service
On 23 July 2010, Aéroports de Paris signed the 2011-2015
Economic Regulation Agreement (ERA) with the French State. The main
points of the agreement are:
- An investment plan amounting to €1.8bn
on the regulated perimeter (€2.4bn at the parent company level).
This plan, will focus in particular on the continuation of the
construction of satellite 4 and the refurbishment of the oldest
terminals and includes a budget dedicated to quality of service for
targeted operations with strong lever effect
- The implementation of 10 indicators
linked to quality of service with ambitious targets and associates
with incentives in the form of bonuses and penalties. 5 of these
directly measure passenger satisfaction
- A moderate pricing cap (average of 1.38
% per year above inflation), alongside an adjustment factor to
partially compensate for the difference noted in traffic.
Aéroports de Paris targets to significantly improve the quality
of service on the platforms and to reach in 2015 the top of the
range defined by the ERA for overall satisfaction, i.e. a rate of
88.1%.
A change in regulated perimeter that creates long term
value
This agreement takes into account an adjustment to the company’s
regulated perimeter, applicable from 1st January 2011: as of this
date, diversification real estate1 and commercial activities2 will
no longer be included in the regulated perimeter. The change in the
regulated perimeter, which creates value over the long term,
represents a dual incentive to develop traffic, both within the
regulated perimeter and within the non-regulated perimeter.
The exclusion of the commercial and diversification real estate
activities, which are highly profitable, will automatically result
in lowering the return on the regulated perimeter. Aéroports de
Paris targets to progressively restore the profitability of the
regulated perimeter thanks to the anticipated growth in traffic,
moderation of investments and productivity gains aimed at
stabilising the costs per passenger3 between 2010 and 2015.
Consequently, the 2011-2015 ERA must be seen as a transition phase:
the return on capital employed within the regulated scope should be
in line with the company's weighted average cost of capital on
average over the following ERA (2016-2020).
