081,4 � 991,8 � +9,0% Pierre Graff, Chairman and CEO of A�roports
de Paris, commented on these figures: "The strong revenue growth in
the first half of 2007, up 9%, is further proof of our quality
assets, which enables us to attract traffic growth. This
performance also confirms the pertinence of our retail strategy,
thanks notably to the extremely dynamic business of Soci�t� de
Distribution A�roportuaire." Revenues rise faster than passenger
traffic growth Passenger traffic at A�roports de Paris rose 4.4% to
41.5 million passengers in H1 2007 compared to the year-earlier
period. Passenger traffic was up 4.9% to 28.5 million passengers at
the Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and 3.4% to 13 million
passengers at the Paris-Orly airport. This trend confirms the
group's capacity to capture traffic growth, thanks notably to the
complementary nature of its airports. Revenues amounted to �1,081.4
million in H1 2007, up a buoyant 9% compared to H1 2006, surpassing
passenger traffic growth. This performance can be attributed not
only to airport services but also to the dynamic momentum of other
activities, notably Soci�t� de Distribution A�roportuaire. Airport
services Revenue from airport services increased 5.4% to �872.3
million, thanks to robust passenger traffic growth, airport fee
increases and higher retail revenues. Lifted by passenger traffic
growth (+4.4% to 41.5 million passengers) and rate increases
(+4.25% at 1 April 2007), airport fee revenues rose 9.6% to �345.4
million. Specialized services, a category consisting of auxiliary
services (baggage handling, check-in counters, de-icing) and other
services (VIP lounges, network leasing), generated revenues of
�52.7 million, up 6.8%. The number of de-iced planes decreased by
69% due to mild weather conditions. This was offset by a strong
rise in baggage handling fees, up 21.1%, mainly due to
Paris-Charles de Gaulle, where a new fee schedule was introduced at
Terminal 1 and the South baggage sorting system was started up at
Terminal E. Commercial revenues rose a total of 5.6% to �107
million. Duty-free shops reported buoyant business, with revenues
up 7.5% in H1 2007 compared to the year-earlier period. Car park
revenue rose 3.9% to �74.4 million. Excluding the STIF subsidy from
the Ile de France transport union, which the group no longer
receives since the CDGVal light rail line began operating on 1
April 2007, growth was a strong 6.9%. Revenue from industrial
services (such as power and water supply) contracted 3% to �36.5
million. This trend reflects the decline in thermal units sold, due
to mild weather last winter, and to energy price fluctuations.
Airport tax revenue, which finances security-related activities,
increased 4.5% to �174.8 million. This increase reflects the
combined impact of traffic growth and the French government's
increase in the airport tax to cover reinforced security measures
in effect since 6 November 2006. Rental revenue from leasing space
in air terminals rose 13.1% to �38.1 million mainly due to the
indexation of prices to the cost of construction index, up 7% since
1 January 2007. The leasing of new surface areas in the Paris-Orly
and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports, notably at the CDG 2E
terminal, also lifted revenues. Other revenues contracted 15.5% to
�43.4 million due to the reduction in services for the air traffic
control department and to the decline in intersegment revenues.
Ground handling and related services Ground handling and related
services generated revenues of �93.5 million, up 12.9% compared to
H1 2006, a period hard hit by the loss of major contracts in late
2005. Within this segment, revenues from security services rose
strongly, up 26.5%. Real estate (excluding terminals) Real estate
revenues rose 10.5% to �95.5 million, bolstered by the 7% increase
in the cost of construction index. Growth was also driven by the
leasing of new surface areas to accommodate the West Maintenance
Base for the future A380, the Fedex logistics centre and the
Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub maintenance centre. Other activities
Other activities generated revenues of �146.6 million, up 35.1%.
This growth reflects the contribution of the segment's four
subsidiaries: Soci�t� de Distribution A�roportuaire, Hub T�l�com,
ADPi and A�roports de Paris Management. Soci�t� de Distribution
A�roportuaire (SDA) made the biggest contribution. Owned in
partnership with Aelia, this airport retailing expert operates
shops specialising in alcohol, tobacco, perfume and cosmetics in
all of our terminals. SDA generated revenues of �74.4 million, up
56.3%,1 buoyed by the combined impact of organic growth, thanks to
passenger traffic growth, and the expansion of its scope of
business to Paris-Charles de Gaulle Terminal 3 and the two
terminals at Paris-Orly (Orly Sud and Orly Ouest). Excluding this
consolidation effect, SDA's contribution rose 13.1% in H1 2007
compared to the year-earlier period, fuelled by buoyant sales by
duty-free shops. Hub T�l�com contributed �38.7 million, up 7.1%
compared to the same period in 2006. The ongoing decline in fixed
telephone services was offset by the increase in corporate and
consumer WiFi and the development of other services. ADPi, the
engineering subsidiary specialising in international design,
architecture and engineering services, grew an impressive 80% to
�27 million, thanks to new contracts, notably in Jeddah (Saudi
Arabia) and Bogot� (Colombia). A�roports de Paris Management, the
airport management subsidiary with stakes in other airport
companies, contributed revenues of �4.2 million, up 23.2%, thanks
to new contracts, notably in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia) and Amman
(Jordan). On 26 February 2007, A�roports de Paris Management sold
its entire stake in Beijing Capital International Airport Company
Limited (BCIA)2 for a net amount of �188.9 million. AGENDA
