GROUPE ADP CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2024

Accounting treatment of the merger between GIL and GAL (See Notes 2.1.6 “Significant Events – Merger between GIL and GAL” and 4.9 “Investment in equity-accounted entities” to the consolidated financial statements)

Risk identified

Our response

On July 25, 2024, the merger between GMR Airport Ltd (GAL), then 49% owned by Groupe ADP, and GMR Airport Infrastructure Ltd (GIL) became effective. Groupe ADP now holds an economic interest of 45.7% in GMR Airports, the merged entity of GAL (formerly equity-accounted) and GIL (its listed holding company), comprising listed ordinary shares and convertible bonds into ordinary shares. Management analyzed the governance rights and concluded that Groupe ADP has significant influence over GMR Airports, which is therefore accounted for using the equity method in Groupe ADP’s consolidated financial statements. Indeed, Groupe ADP holds extended governance rights over GMR Airports, through a shareholders’ agreement, similar to those previously held in GAL. As the majority of GIL’s fair value was attributable to GAL, Groupe ADP Management considered that the merger does not constitute an exchange of substantially different securities. Consequently, the financial impact of the merger corresponds to the listing service cost, measured as the fair value of GIL’s net assets excluding GAL as of the merger date, and the 3.3% dilution in GAL’s net assets. The impact of the transaction resulted in a non-cash charge of €398 million, recognized in the share of profit or loss of equity accounted entities. We consider the accounting treatment of the merger between GAL and GIL to be a key audit matter, due to (i) the level of judgment involved, (ii) the significant impact on the share of profit or loss of equity-accounted entities, and (iii) the assumptions used to measure the fair value of GIL’s assets and liabilities excluding GAL.

Our work mainly consisted of: u reviewing the documentation and agreements related to this transaction, especially the shareholders’ agreement; u examining the method used by Groupe ADP to determine the accounting impacts and assessing its compliance with applicable IFRS; u evaluating the methodology applied for identifying the assets and liabilities of GIL and valuing them at fair value, involving valuation specialists within our audit team. Finally, we assessed the appropriateness of the disclosures provided in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
