COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF AEROPORTS DE PARIS SA AT 31 DECEMBER 2024
Amortisation and depreciation The amortisation of fixed assets is determined by the rhythm of consumption of economic benefits. This is generally on a straight- line basis. At each balance sheet date, Aéroports de Paris SA determines whether there is any indication that an asset may have lost significant value. The criteria used to assess indications of impairment may include, in particular, a lower than expected performance, a decrease in traffic, a significant change in market data or the regulatory environment, or obsolescence or material deterioration not provided for in the depreciation plan. When there is an indication of impairment, an impairment test is performed as follows:
u Aéroports de Paris SA measures any depreciation of fixed assets by comparing the book value of the assets, regrouped in asset groups if applicable, with their recoverable value, which is generally calculated through the net current value of future cash flow method. When this recoverable amount is significantly lower than the value entered in the balance sheet, a depreciation is recognised for the difference in “Depreciation”; u the discount rates used for these purposes are based on the Weighted Average Cost of Capital for each of the assets or asset groups in question; u future cash flows are established on the basis of assumptions validated and presented by Management.
The expected useful lives for the main assets are the following:
Software, patent and licenses
4 to 10 years 30 to 60 years 20 to 50 years 10 to 20 years 10 to 50 years 10 to 20 years 20 to 25 years 5 to 20 years 20 years

Non-terminal buildings

The useful lives are reviewed at each closing on the basis of the program of investment and rehabilitation of existing assets, so that they reflect the expected useful lives, for these to reflect the expected duration of use. Aéroports de Paris SA uses options provided within tax legislation in terms
of accelerated depreciation. The difference between tax depreciation and straight-line depreciation is accounted for as a tax-driven provision on the balance sheet.
4.6 Financial assets Equity investments
Loans and receivables Loans and receivables are recorded at their nominal value plus accrued interest. An impairment loss may be recognized on loans and receivables if the value in use of the securities to which these loans and receivables are attached leads to the recognition of an impairment exceeding the value of the securities. Technical losses Following the adoption of regulation ANC 2015-06 of 23 November 2015, the technical losses resulting from the merger and TUP, relating to financial fixed assets, are presented on the line “Other financial fixed assets”. They correspond to the negative difference between the net assets received and the net book value of the absorbed company’s shares. These losses are taken into account in the above-described impairment tests.
Equity investments acquired are recorded at their purchase value (excluding directly related external incidental costs). The book value is compared to the value in use at closing. This value in use is assessed on the basis of: u expected discounted cash flows or dividends, to which is then deducted the net financial debt; or u revalued net assets, which take into account unrealized capital gains determined on the basis of values estimated by independent real estate appraisal firms for investments in real estate companies For the calculation of the discount rate, the data used by the company is based on the averages of the last three months for the risk-free rate and the market premium. In the event that the value in use could not be determined, Aéroports de Paris SA values these securities according to the share of equity determined according to the consolidation rules that these securities represent. If the value in use of the shares falls below their book value, depreciation is recorded for the difference.
