MAIN RISK MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS Managing the health crisis This management was a major issue for Aéroports de Paris. The Group’s action has been focused on four main elements: ◆ cleanliness remained a top priority at all times; ◆ the “Paris Aéroport Safe Travel” customer health program was introduced in the terminals, with a very easily recognizable graphic identity; ◆ the range of services has been developed: test laboratories, in public areas and transfer areas, in particular to maintain connectivity with China; ◆ a community of Paris Airport Safe Travel ambassadors has been set up so that teams on the ground can reassure passengers and explain health procedures at the airport.
Dynamic traffic recovery While the resumption of air traffic is above all a positive factor for the Group, its intensity and dynamic nature constitute organisational challenges. The Group’s action has been focused on four main principles: ◆ support 100% of the traffic recovery without capping the number of movements unlike other European airports; ◆ offer a reopening of terminals guided by the objective of a high contact rate; ◆ maintain the fundamental objective of time management at each stage of the passenger journey through compliance commitments at each of these stages. Make each reopened reserved area more welcoming than before the Covid-19 crisis, thanks to improvements and major conversions (renovated reserved areas: 2E Hall L, 2BD, T2G, Orly Hall B and Hall C).
1 – D: LIQUIDITY RISKS The current economic and health context poses a risk to Groupe ADP’s cash position, which must remain sufficient to meet its
commitments. Criticality ++
Change in 2022
Detailed description of the risk factor The Group could be exposed to an increase in its medium-term financial expenses, due to successive refinancing at higher interest rates than those currently in force. The change in the geopolitical context in 2022 has indeed led to malfunctions, particularly in the energy, raw materials and logistics markets, leading to an increased level of inflation (see also risk 2 - B). As central banks make the fight against inflation a priority, they have increased their key rates, resulting in an increase in short- and long-term yield curves. In addition, credit premiums have widened as concerns about economic growth have increased. The increase in base rates and risk premiums constitute a risk of the Group having to finance itself at a higher cost. Groupe ADP had a cash position of €2.6 billion as of 31 December 2022, of which €0.25 billion was held by TAV Airports. Given its available cash, and with regard to its forecasts for the next 12 months, the group does not anticipate any liquidity difficulties. This cash position provides the Company with satisfactory liquidity in the current health and economic context, and enables it to meet its current needs and financial commitments, including the repayment of an ADP SA bond debt in 2023.
