FY22 Interim Results: Preparing for the travel

restart, Auckland Airport focuses on operational

readiness and core infrastructure


Auckland Airport today announced its financial results for the six months to 31 December

2021, including incurring its third consecutive half-year underlying loss.

Auckland Airport Chair Patrick Strange said: “Our conservative approach to financial

management in the first six months of the 2022 financial year reflected the difficult market

conditions that we are operating in. Our focus has been on the safe operation of our airport

and investing in core foundational infrastructure and enabling works for future aeronautical

projects to ensure we are in the best position possible for the return of international travel.

“Overall, we continue to see the solid recovery of air travel in overseas markets where

isolation requirements for travellers have been removed. We remain confident that we will

experience the same meaningful rebound in New Zealand – it is just a matter of when. As we

prepare for the restart, we are especially thankful to our employees who continue to work for

New Zealand, making journeys possible and keeping travellers safe and connected.”

Key performance data for the six months to 31 December 2021:

• Total number of passengers decreased to 1.7 million, down 39%

• Domestic passengers decreased 45% to 1.5 million, and international passengers (including transits)

increased 38% to 0.3 million

• Revenue was down 4% to 126 million

• Operating EBITDAFI was down 31% to $60 million

• Reported profit after tax was up 274% to $109 million, bolstered by the $132 million non-cash investment

property valuation uplift

• Earnings per share was up 274% to 7.39 cents

• Net underlying loss after tax of $11.5 million

We recognise that EBITDAFI and underlying loss are non-GAAP measures. Please refer to the table at the end of the

media release for the reconciliation of reported profit after tax to underlying loss after tax.

• No interim dividend will be paid

Chief Executive Carrie Hurihanganui, who started in the role on 8 February 2022, said while

Auckland Airport continued to operate in a challenging environment with the emergence of

Omicron and continued border restrictions, the organisation was looking firmly beyond the

near-term volatility to its long-term recovery.

“The team at Auckland Airport has been doing it tough for two years now, navigating through

the ever-changing environment created by Covid-19. While the recovery pathway remains

uncertain, there is demand for travel and people want to fly as soon as they are able.

“Our goal is to emerge from this crisis match-fit for the restart. For us that means continuing

our strategy of careful cost management while making good choices about the infrastructure

works that we progress now, such as roading and airfield projects and enabling works for

future aeronautical infrastructure projects.”

In the six months to 31 December 2021, Auckland Airport completed $33 million in roading

improvements to its 40km core roading network, widening and creating new roads, adding

high occupancy vehicle lanes, and improving pedestrian and cycle paths. On the airfield, a

further $28 million in upgrades were carried out to pavement, ground lighting and the

underground fuel network. Preliminary design and enabling works continue around the

international terminal, with a focus on site preparation for the proposed Transport Hub outside

the international terminal, and the future expansion of the international terminal to

accommodate domestic jet operations.

Omicron preparedness

The growing community transmission of the Omicron variant required an immediate response

to ensure that core aerodrome operations could continue with higher-than-normal

absenteeism.

“Scenario planning has been undertaken and additional health and safety measures

introduced, including the establishment of work bubbles and the use of high frequency rapid

antigen testing alongside PCR surveillance testing for selected frontline workforces.

“The importance of vaccination as a tool to protect not only our staff but the Auckland

community saw us offer our Park & Ride facility as a convenient place for people to be

vaccinated, including eligible children. With great support from health workers, the site

delivered 155,000 vaccines by 30 January 2022 – making it the second-biggest vaccination



site in Auckland. We also played an important role in the mobile vaccination drive, offering

our Park & Ride buses to be used as mobile health clinics in the South Auckland community.

By the end of January our buses, which include Shot Bro and Shot Cuzz, had delivered an

additional 55,000 vaccines direct into the community, something we’re incredibly proud of,”

said Ms Hurihanganui.

Property and retail business

Auckland Airport’s property business continued to grow strongly in the six months to 31

December 2021, with occupancy remaining at 98.5% and a solid development pipeline from

both new and existing tenants. In November 2021, Auckland Airport (in partnership with

Tainui Group Holdings) committed to restarting construction on the Te Arikinui Pullman

Auckland Airport Hotel, with the hotel expected to be completed in 2024.

Design work and pre-development planning is well underway for the airport’s 100-store

fashion outlet centre to be built on the north-eastern edge of the airport precinct, with enabling

works to begin shortly.

“We’ve continued to field strong interest from tenants including several major international

brands, reinforcing for us that there is substantial demand from customers for a development

of this nature in New Zealand.”

Auckland Airport has been proud to continue its substantial support of existing retail tenants

during the pandemic. With international travel restrictions and regional lockdowns continuing

to challenge our retailers, 92% of in-terminal retail rental income was abated during the six

months to 31 December 2021.

Aviation recovery

On Monday the New Zealand border will reopen to vaccinated New Zealanders arriving from

Australia, with a further reopening to vaccinated New Zealanders located in other parts of the

world from 13 March 2022.

“While the isolation requirement will restrict demand to just those who have the time and

ability to self-isolate, it will come as a huge relief for families divided during times of

celebration or grief, or those who simply want to return to their homeland. I know our Auckland

Airport staff are excited and ready to safely reconnect Kiwis over the coming weeks,” said Ms

Hurihanganui.

“As we look to the rest of the year, we expect international travel numbers to remain low with



overseas experience showing the self-isolation requirements for vaccinated travellers

seriously denting demand. We continue to work with airlines to ensure this doesn’t negatively

impact Auckland Airport’s future international network connections.

“Domestic traveller volumes during the half-year period were impacted by outbreaks of

COVID-19 in the community, with passenger numbers falling to just a few hundred a day

during Auckland’s lockdown. This was in contrast to the promising domestic recovery that

took place in July 2021, when domestic passenger numbers were about 90% of pre-COVID

levels. We anticipate it will take time for confidence in domestic travel to rebuild back to those

levels again.”

Outlook

Despite ongoing uncertainty around the recovery of both domestic and international travel,

Auckland Airport is providing earnings guidance for the 2022 financial year of an underlying

loss after tax of between $25 million and $50 million.

“We are also reconfirming capital expenditure guidance for the 2022 financial year of between

$250 million and $300 million as we continue to take a measured approach to capital

expenditure due to the current trading environment.”

“Given the domestic travel restrictions in place for much of the first six months of the year and

the later than expected reopening of international travel, we have also reached agreement

with our banks to lower the new EBITDA-based interest coverage covenants agreed in

August last year for the measurement periods between June 2022 and June 2024. Auckland

Airport thanks its lenders for their ongoing support,” said Ms Hurihanganui.

The above guidance is subject to any material adverse events, significant one-off expenses,

non-cash fair value changes to property, and any deterioration due to global market

conditions or other unforeseeable circumstances.

Note 1. Underlying profit / (loss) reconciliation


We have made the following adjustments to show underlying profit / (loss) after tax for the six

months ended 31 December 2021 and 2020:

• reversed out the impact of revaluations of investment property. An investor should

monitor changes in investment property over time as a measure of growing value.

However, a change in one particular year is too short to measure long-term

performance. Changes between years can be volatile and, consequently, will impact

comparisons. Finally, the revaluation is unrealised and, therefore, is not considered

when determining dividends in accordance with the dividend policy;

• reversed out the impact of fixed asset project write-offs, impairments and termination

costs. In response to the COVID-19 outbreak, some capital expenditure projects were

abandoned and fully written off and others were suspended. Some of these

abandoned or suspended projects incurred contractor termination costs. The

abandonment or suspension of live capital expenditure projects is extremely rare and

is the direct consequence of COVID-19. These fixed asset write-off costs, impairments

and termination costs are not considered to be an element of the group’s normal

business activities and on this basis have been excluded from underlying profit;

• reversed out the impact of derivative fair value movements. These are unrealised and

relate to basis swaps that do not qualify for hedge accounting on foreign exchange

hedges, as well as any ineffective valuation movements in other financial derivatives.

The group holds its derivatives to maturity, so any fair value movements are expected

to reverse out over their remaining lives;



• adjusted the share of profit of associates and joint ventures to reverse out the impacts

on those profits from revaluations of investment property and financial derivatives; and

• reversed out the taxation impacts of the above movements in both six-month periods.

1.
Corporate information

Auckland International Airport Limited (‘the

company’ or ‘Auckland Airport’) is a company

established under the Auckland Airport Act 1987

and was incorporated on 20 January 1988 under

the Companies Act 1955. The company was re-

registered under the Companies Act 1993 on 6 June

1997. The company is an FMC Reporting Entity

under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013.

The financial statements presented are for

Auckland Airport and its wholly owned subsidiaries,

joint ventures and an associate (‘the group’).

These interim financial statements were authorised

for issue in accordance with a resolution of the

directors on 24 February 2022.

2.

Basis of preparation and accounting policies

The condensed consolidated interim financial

statements ('interim financial statements') have

been prepared in accordance with generally

accepted accounting practice ('GAAP') in New

Zealand and the requirements of the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Main Board/

Debt Market Listing Rules of NZX Limited. The

interim financial statements comply with New

Zealand Equivalent to International Accounting

Standards NZ IAS 34 and IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting.

Auckland Airport is designated as a for-profit entity

for financial reporting purposes.

These interim financial statements are not required

to and do not make disclosure of all of the

information required to be included in an annual

financial report. Accordingly, this report should be

read in conjunction with the financial statements and

related notes included in Auckland Airport’s

Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

The accounting policies set out in the 2021 Financial

Report have been applied consistently to all periods

presented in these interim financial statements,

except as identified below.

In April 2021, the IFRS Interpretations Committee

('IFRIC') published an agenda decision clarifying the

accounting treatment for configuration and

customisation costs associated with cloud

computing arrangements. The new interpretation

only permits capitalisation in limited circumstances

and in many instances configuration and

customisation costs must be recognised as an

operating expense. The group previously capitalised

configuration and customisation costs for cloud

computing arrangements.

In

response to this interpretation, the group has now

completed its analysis of configuration and

customisation costs associated with cloud

computing arrangements, resulting in retrospective

restatements of the following historical financial

information:

•The statement of financial position as at 30 June

2020;

•The income statement for the six months ended

31 December 2020 and the year ended 30 June

2021;

•The statement of cash flows for the six months

ended 31 December 2020 and the year ended

30 June 2021; and

•The statement of financial position as at

31 December 2020 and as at 30 June 2021.

The group has applied the new interpretation during

the six-month period ended 31 December 2021.

Operating costs are higher by $0.1 million and

depreciation is lower by $2.1 million than would have

been reported under the group's previous policy.

The group has revised its accounting policy in

relation to upfront configuration and customisation

costs incurred in implementing cloud computing

arrangements. The new accounting policy is as

follows:

Cloud computing arrangements

Cloud computing arrangements include software as

a service, platform as a service, infrastructure as a

service and other similar hosting arrangements (i.e.

an arrangement in which an end-user of the

software does not take possession of the software).

The group applies judgement to assess whether

there is sufficient control in a cloud computing

arrangement to permit capitalisation of the

configuration and customisation costs. The group

considers the following indicators:

•The group has the contractual right to take

possession of the software at any time during

the hosting period without significant penalty;

•The group can run software on its own

hardware or can contract with another vendor

to host the software;

•The group can control who can use any

software modifications and the vendor cannot

make them available to other customers; and

Interim Financial Statements 20229

2.
Basis of preparation and accounting policies CONTINUED

•The group can control the frequency and

acceptance of software updates.

If the cloud computing arrangement meets the

criteria, then the cost of configuration and

customisation is recognised as an asset. If the

criteria and definition are not met, the cost of

configuration and customisation is recognised as an

operating expense.

However, if the configuration and customisation

were performed by the software supplier, the group

also considers whether that upfront service is

distinct from the cloud computing arrangement. If it

is not distinct, then the operating expense may be

initially treated as a prepayment and expensed over

the term of the cloud computing arrangement.

There are no other new or amended standards that

are issued but not yet effective that are expected to

have a material impact on the group.

Changes in key estimates and judgements

The financial position and performance of the group

continued to be affected by the COVID-19

pandemic during the period. The following key

estimates and judgements, arising from COVID-19,

were generated on the same basis as at 30 June

2021:

Abatements

The group continues to provide abatements to

retailers, aeronautical and property tenants

significantly affected by COVID-19. During the

period ended 31 December 2021, the group

recognised $98.6 million of abatements as negative

variable lease payments. These abatements were

consistent with expectations and were factored into

revaluations and impairment assessments at

30 June 2021.

Fixed asset write-offs, impairment and termination

costs

Fixed assets totalling $0.1 million were written off

during the period ended 31 December 2021.

At 30 June 2021, the group recognised a

$2.3 million impairment of capital works in progress

and reversed $1.1 million of impairments recognised

in prior periods. During the period ended

31 December 2021, no further impairments have

been recognised or reversed.

Provision for expected credit losses

The provision for expected credit losses as at

30 June 2021 was $3.4 million. During the period

ended 31 December 2021, the provision has

decreased by $0.4 million reflecting the recovery of

outstanding debt.

Fair value assessments of investment properties

The valuations of investment properties at 30 June

2021 and 31 December 2021 include the two hotels

in

the group's retail and service portfolio. Those two

valuations were prepared on the basis of 'material

valuation uncertainty' as at 30 June 2021 and

31 December 2021. Refer to note 10 for further

details.

Fair value assessments of investment properties

owned by associate and joint ventures

At 31 December 2021, an independent valuation of

investment property owned by Tainui Auckland

Airport Hotel 2 Limited Partnership was performed

by JLL. The valuation concluded that there was a

material movement in the fair value of that property

versus cost. Refer to note 7 for further details.

Fair value assessments of property, plant and

equipment

There have been no material changes in the fair

value assessments of property, plant and

equipment. Refer to note 9 for further details.

Going concern

As at 31 December 2021, Auckland Airport’s

liquidity sources comprised $928.7 million of

undrawn bank facilities and $35.1 million of cash

and cash equivalents. This compares with

$378.0 million of drawn debt maturities scheduled

for calendar 2022, approximately $57.9 million of

forecast interest expense and $374.0 million of

forecast capital expenditure over the same 12-

month period, $338.4 million of which is currently

approved. At the height of Auckland’s domestic and

international air travel restrictions (e.g. October

2021), Auckland Airport delivered EBITDA

exceeding $5.0 million per month, or in excess of

$60.0 million annualised. Including the

$963.8 million of cash and undrawn bank facilities

on hand as at 31 December 2021, Auckland

Airport’s forecast liquidity sources over the next

12 months of more than $1.0 billion comfortably

Notes and accounting policies

CONTINUED

FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2021

exceed the forecast liquidity uses over the same
period of less than $850.0 million.

During February 2022, Auckland Airport

renegotiated its banking facility interest coverage

covenants for the twice-yearly 12-month

measurement periods between June 2022 and

June 2024. The following table sets out the new

EBITDA-based interest coverage covenants, with

the covenant for the 12 months to 31 December

2024 onwards remaining unchanged.

The most material risks to FY22 interest coverage

compliance are COVID-19-related revenue

shortfalls caused by a substantial backtracking from

the Government’s recently announced plan to

gradually reopen the border to international visitors

from the end of February 2022. However, we

estimate that interest coverage compliance will be

achieved at the first measurement date of 30 June

2022 provided domestic and international

passengers arrivals (excluding transits) in the

second half of the financial year exceed 20% and

3% of pre-COVID-19 levels, respectively. This

compares with 30% and 5% achieved in the first

half. We believe this is likely under the Government’s

current COVID-19 settings and its announced

border reopening plans.

Segment information

(a) Identification of reportable segments

The group has identified its operating segments

based on the internal reports reviewed and used by

the chief executive, as the chief operating decision-

maker, in assessing performance and in determining

the allocation of resources.

The operating segments are identified by

management based on the nature of services

provided. Discrete financial information about each

of these operating segments is reported to the chief

executive at least monthly. The chief executive

assesses the performance of the operating

segments based on segment EBITDAFI. Interest

income and expenditure, taxation, depreciation, fair

value adjustments, and share of profits of associate

and joint ventures are not allocated to operating

segments as the group manages the cash position

and borrowings at a group level.

(b)

Types of services provided

Aeronautical

The aeronautical business provides services that

facilitate the movement of aircraft, passengers and

cargo and provides utility services that support the

airport. The aeronautical business also earns rental

revenue from space leased in facilities such as

terminals.

During the period ended 31 December 2021, New

Zealand's international border remained closed for

non-residents, significantly affecting airfield income

and passenger services charges. The group

provided $0.8 million of abatements to aeronautical

customers during the six-month period ended

31 December 2021 (31 December 2020:

$0.2 million). Refer to note 3 for further information.

During

the comparative period ended 31 December

2020, the group successfully concluded

negotiations related to early terminated construction

contracts. This resulted in a $14.3 million reversal in

the group's provision for termination costs and a

corresponding reduction in total segment expenses.

All negotiations were complete by 30 June 2021

with no remaining provision at year end. Therefore,

there were no similar reversals in the current period

ended 31 December 2021.

Retail

The retail business provides services to the retailers

within the terminals and provides car parking

facilities for passengers, visitors and airport staff.

The above-mentioned travel restrictions continued

to affect retailers within the terminals, and the group

provided $94.4 million of abatements to retailers

during the six-month period ended 31 December

2021 (31 December 2020: $94.8 million). Refer to

note 3 for further information.

Property

The property business earns rental revenue from

space leased on airport land outside the terminals

including cargo buildings, hangars, shops and other

stand-alone investment properties.

The group provided $3.4 million of rent abatements

to property tenants during the six-month period

ended 31 December 2021, but this was offset by

new tenancies during the period (31 December

2020: $2.8 million).

The share of loss during the six months ended

$20.5 million share of a $41.0 million revaluation loss

on the Pullman hotel, which is under construction

and owned by Tainui Auckland Airport Hotel 2

Limited Partnership (joint venture). The revaluation

loss arose due to an increase in construction costs

compared to an independent valuation of the hotel

as at expected completion during the financial year

ended 30 June 2024.

The construction of the hotel had been split into two

phases due to the impact of COVID-19. The first

phase was to complete the facade and structural

elements under the original contract. The second

phase was to carry out all internal fit-outs ready for

opening and would be timed to coincide with a

recovery in international passenger numbers. During

the six months ended 31 December 2021, the joint

venture re-tendered the second phase at a higher

cost than the original contract. The remaining cost

to complete the project is forecast to be

$131.0 million, resulting in a total cost of

$221.0 million.

At 31 December 2021, an independent valuation

was performed by JLL for the Pullman hotel. The

fair value of the completed hotel was determined to

be $180.0 million, which was materially different

from the total forecast cost of $221.0 million and

resulted in a revaluation loss of $41.0 million for the

joint venture. Auckland Airport's share of the

revaluation loss was $20.5 million.

The valuation was prepared on the basis of ‘material

valuation uncertainty’, and therefore the valuer has

advised that less certainty should be attached to the

valuation than would normally be the case.

Distribution to shareholders

When new EBITDA-based interest coverage covenants were agreed with the banking group in August

2021, Auckland Airport agreed that no dividends would be paid until after 31 December 2021. Therefore,

no final dividend was paid during the period ended 31 December 2021 (31 December 2020: nil). As part

of the agreement reached in February 2022 with the banking group to reduce the new interest coverage

covenants further for the five biannual measurement periods between 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2024, the

period of no dividend payments was extended until 31 December 2022.

The company has a dividend reinvestment plan, but this was inactive during the period as no dividend

was paid.

The group carries land, buildings and services,

infrastructure and runway, taxiways and aprons at

fair value.

At 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2020 the

group undertook a desktop review of the property,

plant and equipment balances carried at fair value.

•For land assets previously formally revalued

using the discounted cash flow approach, the

31 December 2021 desktop assessment

compared today's expectations regarding the

timing and shape of the recovery from

COVID-19 with the independent valuers' views

at the last formal valuation. Those expectations

have remained materially unchanged.

•For land assets previously formally revalued

using the market value alternative use and direct

sales comparison approaches, the desktop

assessment considered the outcome of the

investment property desktop review described

in note 10.

•For all other assets previously formally revalued

using the optimised depreciated replacement

cost approach, the desktop assessment

considered movements in the capital goods

price index provided by Beca Projects NZ Ltd

(Beca).

These assessments indicated that there was no

material fair value movement in any class of

property, plant and equipment from 30 June 2021.

Impact of COVID-19

The

impact as at 30 June 2021 of COVID-19 on the

valuation of property, plant and equipment was set

out in note 11 of the 2021 Financial Report. Given

the circumstances, the valuations of land associated

with car parking facilities and retail facilities within

terminal buildings as at 30 June 2021 remained

subject to 'material valuation uncertainty', and

therefore the valuers advised that less certainty

should be attached to their valuations than would

normally be the case. As a result of the ongoing

impacts of COVID-19, including the considerable

uncertainty as to the timing and shape of the

recovery, the group and its valuers consider that the

carrying values of these land asset categories

remain subject to 'material valuation uncertainty'.

The total carrying value of these land asset

categories is $2,680.7 million (30 June 2021:

$2,680.7 million).

Vehicles, plant and equipment and work in progress

are carried at cost.

Additions to property, plant and equipment were

$90.7 million for the six months ended 31 December

2021 (six months ended 31 December 2020:

$57.2 million).

There were no transfers from investment property

during the six months ended 31 December 2021

(six months ended 31 December 2020:

$8.4 million). The transfers in the comparative period

were to make land available for the international

terminal exit road.

The following categories of property, plant and

equipment are leased to tenants:

•Aeronautical land, including land associated

with aircraft, freight and terminal use carried at

$296.3 million (30 June 2021: $296.3 million);

•Land associated with retail facilities within

terminal buildings carried at $2,004.8 million

(30 June 2021: $2,004.8 million); and

•Space within terminal buildings, being 14% of

total floor area or $121.8 million (30 June 2021:

13% of total floor area or $120.1 million).

Investment property is measured at fair value, which

reflects market conditions at balance date. To

determine fair value, the group ordinarily

commissions investment property valuations at

30 June each year and undertakes a desktop review

at 31 December each year. Auckland Airport also

reviews investment properties that are recently

constructed or in the latter stages of construction

at 31 December each year.

At 31 December 2021, the group undertook more

comprehensive desktop revaluations than the

desktop reviews the group ordinarily performs at

31 December each year. The changed approach

was considered prudent following recent growth in

the property market, including the unprecedented

$527.3 million fair value increase in the group's

investment property during the year ended 30 June

2021. The desktop revaluations were performed by

Colliers, Savills and JLL based on key valuation

metrics. The valuers did not re-inspect the

properties but undertook relevant investigations,

including considering any tenant changes,

assessing market rentals and reviewing

capitalisation rates in order to determine the

desktop value of the group’s investment properties.

The desktop revaluations have been reviewed and

assessed by management and subsequently

adopted by the group, resulting in a fair value

increase of $131.5 million ,or 4.9%, for the overall

portfolio for the six months ended 31 December

2021.

At 31 December 2020, management performed a

desktop review using evidence of market sales and

leasing activity provided by Colliers. The review

indicated there was no material movement in the

overall portfolio during the six months ending

31

December 2020. Colliers also performed reviews

of two new investment properties, which were

adopted by the group and resulted in a fair value

increase of $29.8 million for those two properties for

the six months ended 31 December 2020.

Impact of COVID-19

As reported in the 2021 Financial Report, the

group's overall investment property portfolio has

remained resilient despite COVID-19. Although the

group provided $3.4 million of rent abatements to

property tenants during the six-month period, these

were consistent with expectations at 30 June 2021.

There was no material impact on overall property

rental revenue during the period (refer to notes 3 and

4 for further information).

The group and its valuers have assessed that, as at

31 December 2021, the valuations of investment

properties relating to the two hotels in the group's

retail and service portfolio remain subject to 'material

valuation uncertainty'. This assessment is based on

the longer-term impact of COVID-19 on the hotel

sector not yet being fully known. The total carrying

value of the two hotels is $69.4 million (30 June

2021: $67.5 million).

The following categories of investment property are

leased to tenants:

•Retail and service carried at $363.5 million

(30 June 2021: $301.5 million);

•Industrial carried at $1,810.4 million (30 June

2021: $1,709.4 million); and

•Other investment property carried at

$192.4 million (30 June 2021: $216.2 million).

As at 31 December 2021, the company had

undrawn bank facilities of $928.7 million (30 June

2021: $831.7 million).

During the current and prior periods, there were no

defaults or breaches on any of the borrowing

facilities. The covenant waivers granted by our

banking group in April 2020 expired on

31 December 2021 and were replaced, first in

August 2021 and again in February 2022, by

modified interest coverage covenants applying from

calendar year 2022 onwards. The most recent

arrangements have converted the original 1.5x

EBIT-based measure to an EBITDA-based measure

that steps up progressively, broadly in line with the

anticipated COVID-19 recovery. The EBITDA based

interest coverage covenants are summarised in

note 3.

The carrying amount of AMTN notes has reduced

due to foreign exchange rate movements. The

foreign currency exposure is fully hedged by cross-

currency interest rate swaps, which have similarly

reduced in value (refer to note 14).

Interim Financial Statements 202221

Financial risk management

The group has a treasury policy which limits

exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates

and foreign currency, liquidity risk and counter-party

credit risk. The group has no other material direct

price risk exposure.

The interim financial statements do not include all

financial risk management information and

disclosures and should be read in conjunction with

note 18 of the 2021 Financial Report.

Further information is also contained in the risk

management section of the 2021 Annual Report.

There have been no significant changes in the

financial risk management objectives and policies

since 30 June 2021.

14.

Fair value of financial instruments

There have been no transfers between levels of the

fair value hierarchy used in measuring the fair value

of financial instruments in the period to

31 December 2021 (30 June 2021: nil).

The following financial instruments are carried at

amortised cost, which approximates their fair value:

•Cash;

•Trade and other receivables;

•Accounts payable and accruals;

•Other term liabilities; and

•Borrowings issued at floating rates.

Borrowings issued at fixed rates, including bonds

and AMTN notes, are also carried at amortised

cost, which differs from their fair value. The fair

values are shown in the table below for comparative

purposes and are determined as follows:

•The group’s bonds are classified as level 1. The

fair value of the bonds is based on the quoted

market prices for these instruments at balance

date; and

•The group’s AMTN notes are classified as level

2. The fair value of the AMTN notes has been

determined at balance date on a discounted

cash flow basis using the AUD Bloomberg

curve and applying discount factors to the

future AUD interest payment and principal

payment cash flows.

(a) Property, plant and equipment

The group had contractual obligations to purchase

or develop property, plant and equipment for

$31.4 million at 31 December 2021 (30 June 2021:

$40.6 million at 31 December 2021 (30 June 2021:

$43.5 million).

(c) Joint ventures

During the six months ended 31 December 2021,

the Tainui Auckland Airport Hotel 2 Limited

Partnership (joint venture) tendered a contract for

the second and final phase of development of a new

Pullman hotel. At 31 December 2021, the joint

venture's contractual obligations for the hotel

development were $101.5 million (30 June 2021:

$5.7 million). The group's share of those

commitments was $50.8 million at 31 December

2021 (30 June 2021: $2.9 million)

Interim Financial Statements 202223

16.
Contingent liabilities

Noise insulation

Auckland Airport Designation 1100, contained in the

Auckland Unitary Plan, sets out the requirements for

noise mitigation for neighbouring properties affected

by aircraft noise. The conditions include obligations

on the company to mitigate the impact of aircraft

noise through the installation of noise mitigation

packages to existing dwellings and schools. The

noise mitigation packages provide treatment of

dwellings to achieve an internal noise environment

of no more than 40dB. The company is required to

subsidise 100% of treatment costs for properties in

the high aircraft noise area and 75% in the medium

aircraft noise area.

The aircraft noise contours included in Designation

1100 reflect the long-term predicted aircraft noise

levels generated by aircraft operations from the

existing runway and proposed northern runway.

Annually, the company projects the level of noise

that will be generated from aircraft operations for the

following 12 months. These annual projections

confirm which dwellings and schools are eligible for

noise mitigation each year and offers are sent out to

those affected properties. It is at the discretion of

individual landowners whether they accept a noise

mitigation package.

Projections are undertaken annually to determine

eligibility, and the rate of acceptance of offers of

treatment by landowners is variable. However, it is

estimated that further costs on noise mitigation

should not exceed $7.9 million (30 June 2021:

$8.0 million).

Contractor claims

A contingent liability of $6.0 million (30 June 2021:

$10.1 million) is estimated for contractor claims in

respect of capital works which are under ongoing

independent assessment of both entitlement and

value. The group has taken a highly conservative

view by including all known uncertified contractor

claims as part of this estimate.

17.

Share-based payment plans

(a) Employee share purchase plan

The purchase plan is open to all full-time and part-

time employees (not directors) at an offer date.

Employees are ordinarily advanced loans to

purchase shares at a discount to the market price

and the loans are repaid over a three-year restrictive

period. However, in November 2021, the company

offered shares at nil consideration up to a value of

$1,500 per employee. No repayments are required

in respect of this offer, but the shares remain subject

to a three-year restrictive period. The offer was both

as an acknowledgement of employees' hard

workand also the critical role they will play as aviation

recovers. The offer was accepted by 366

employees, representing a total of 67,710 shares.

(b) Long-term incentive plan (LTI plan)

Members of Auckland Airport’s leadership team and

the chief executive participate in the group’s LTI

plan. This scheme is a share rights plan and share-

rights are granted to participating leadership team

members with a three-year vesting period. If a

participant ceases to be employed before the

exercise date, they ordinarily forfeit their share rights.

On 12 November 2021, Adrian Littlewood stood

down from his role as chief executive after more than

twelve years with the company and nine years as

chief executive. At the Board’s discretion Adrian will

retain his 71,318 share rights that become

exercisable on 30 September 2022. However, he

has forfeited his remaining 93,931 share rights that

would have become exercisable on 1 October

2023. All other conditions of the LTI plan remain in

place for Adrian and other participants, including

being subject to the usual performance measures.

Events subsequent to balance date

On 17 February 2022, the directors of Queenstown Airport resolved that no interim dividend would be

declared for the period ended 31 December 2021.

On 23 February 2022, the directors of Auckland Airport resolved that no interim dividend would be declared

for the period ended 31 December 2021.

During February 2022, Auckland Airport renegotiated its banking facility interest coverage covenants for the

twice-yearly 12-month measurement periods between June 2022 and June 2024. Refer to note 3 for

further information.

Interim Financial Statements 202225

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AUCKLAND INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LIMITED

Conclusion

We have reviewed the condensed consolidated interim financial statements (‘interim financial statements’) of

Auckland International Airport Limited (‘the Company’) and its subsidiaries (‘the Group’) which comprise the

consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 31 December 2021, and the consolidated interim

income statement, statement of comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement

for the six months ended on that date, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory

information on pages 2 to 25.

Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the interim financial

statements of the Group do not present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as at 31

December 2021 and its financial performance and cash flows for the period ended on that date in accordance

with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

Emphasis of Matter – Material valuation uncertainty related to the carrying

values of hotels and land associated with car park facilities and retail facilities

within terminal buildings

We draw your attention to note 9 and 10 in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. In note 9

the Group discloses that due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, including the considerable uncertainty as to

the timing and shape of the recovery, the Group and its independent registered valuers consider that the

carrying values of the land associated with car park facilities and retail facilities within terminal buildings, remain

subject to “material valuation uncertainty” as at 31 December 2021 and therefore less certainty should be

attached to the valuations than would normally be the case. In note 10 the Group discloses that, based on the

longer term impact of COVID-19 on the hotel sector not yet being fully known, the Group and its independent

registered valuers consider that the valuations of investment properties relating to the two hotels in the group’s

retail and service portfolio remain subject to ‘material valuation uncertainty’. Our opinion is not modified in

respect of this matter.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) Review of Financial Statements Performed

by the Independent Auditor of the Entity (‘NZ SRE 2410 (Revised)’). Our responsibilities are further described in

the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Review of the Interim Financial Statements section of our report.

We are independent of the Group in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements in New Zealand relating to

the audit of the annual financial statements, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance

with these requirements.

Our firm carries out other assignments for the Group in the area of greenhouse gas inventory assurance

reporting, sustainability data quality non-assurance services, trustee reporting and assurance reporting for

regulatory reporting as well as non-assurance services provided to the Corporate Taxpayers Group. These

services have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Company and Group.

In addition to this, partners and employees of our firm deal with the Company and its subsidiaries on normal

terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries. The firm

has no other relationship with, or interest in, the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Directors’ responsibilities for the interim financial statements

The directors are responsible on behalf of the Company for the preparation and fair presentation of the interim

financial statements in accordance with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial

Reporting and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation and

fair presentation of the interim financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to

fraud or error.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the review of the interim financial statements

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the interim financial statements based on our review. NZ SRE

2410 (Revised) requires us to conclude whether anything has come to our attention that causes us to believe

that the interim financial statements, taken as a whole, are not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance

with NZ IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting and IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting.

A review of the interim financial statements in accordance with NZ SRE 2410 (Revised) is a limited assurance
engagement. We perform procedures, primarily consisting of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible

for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. The procedures

performed in a review are substantially less than those performed in an audit conducted in accordance with

International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) and consequently do not enable us to obtain assurance that

we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly we do not

express an audit opinion on the interim financial statements.

Restriction on use

This report is made solely to the company’s shareholders, as a body. Our review has been undertaken so that we

might state to the company’s shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in a review report and

for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone

other than the company’s shareholders as a body, for our engagement, for this report, or for the conclusions we

have formed.

All information in this presentation is current at the date of this presentation, unless otherwise stated. Auckland Airport is not under any obligation to update this presentation at

Non-GAAP measures

This presentation contains references to non-GAAP measures including EBITDAFI, EBITDA and underlying profit or loss. A reconciliation between reported profit after tax and

the non-GAAP measure of underlying profit or loss is included in the Appendix.

The directors and management of Auckland Airport understand the importance of reported profits meeting accounting standards. Because we comply with accounting

standards, investors know that comparisons can be made with confidence between different companies and that there is integrity in our reporting approach. However, we

believe that an underlying profit or loss measurement can also assist investors to understand what is happening in a businesssuch as Auckland Airport, where revaluation

changes can distort financial results or where one-off transactions, both positive and negative, can make it difficult to compare profits between years.

For several years, Auckland Airport has referred to underlying profit or loss alongside reported results. We do so when we report our results, but also when we give our market

guidance (where we exclude fair value changes and other one-off items) or when we consider dividends and our policy to pay 100% of underlying profit after tax (excluding

unrealisedgains and losses arising from revaluation of property or treasury instruments and other one-off items).

In referring to underlying profits or losses, we acknowledge our obligation to show investors how we have derived this result.

•Airfield income decreased 14.9%, with aircraft movements reducing less than PAX as airlines maintained connectivity with

reduced passenger load factors but with higher cargo loads

•Down 13.7%, passenger charges fell by less than the 39.1% reduction in total PAX. This reflected the $2.00+GST charge per

international and transit passenger applying from 1 October 2021 to recover the additional costs of segregating the international

terminal to enable quarantine free travel as well as the small scheduled passenger charge increases implemented in FY22

•Retail income remained low in the period with over 90% of contracted retail rental income abated to support Retail tenants

•Car parking income decreased 30.4% in the period reflecting the combined effects of ongoing international travel restrictionsand

the regional lockdown impacting Auckland after the Delta outbreak in August 2021

•Property rental income increased by 16.6% driven by rental growth in the existing portfolio, new leases, and a part year

contribution from the new Foodstuffs distribution centre. This was partly offset by increased rental abatements in 1H22

•Operating costs increased $8.3 million in 1H22 vs 1H21 before the benefits of increased capitalisation of infrastructure team

salaries and increased wage subsidy receipts. These increases reflected preparations for a recovery in passenger numbers and

additional costs associated with the operation of quarantine free travel to Australia

•Operating expense increases in the period included a $4.2 million increase in staff costs (before the wage subsidy offset), mainly

in Operations, a $2.3 million increase in outsourced operations reflecting increased aeronautical and car parking activity, and

repairs and maintenance up $2.1 million reflecting a more intense workprogram whilst the airport was quieter

Safe management of the border

The community outbreak of the Delta variant in August 2021 and the subsequent imposition of travel restrictions ensured

COVID continued to have a profound impact on Auckland Airport

•The short-lived positive start to the year with a domestic rebound

underway and quarantine free travel across the Tasman was

halted by the community outbreak of the Delta variant in Australia

•Our primary objective throughout the pandemic has been ensuring

the safe and secure operation of the airport with clear protocols

for personal protective equipment, cleaning, physical distancing

and testing. We have also focused on communications to

assiststaff, travellersand support the border requirements

•The airport’s continued focus on the safety of staff, contractors,

customers and the travelling public has ensured the safe

operation of the border for the 631k arrivals since March 2020

with no Auckland Airport employee contracting COVID whilst at

work

•Given its transmissibility, Omicron represents further challenges

for critical infrastructure businesses, however Auckland Airport

has procedures in place both to minimisethe risk of illness in

Uncertainty remains around timing of the recovery

25

•Whilst we continue to face considerable uncertainty regarding the

ongoing impact of COVID and the recovery in both international

and domestic air travel, Auckland Airport remains positive given:

‒substantial progress in the country’s vaccination programme;

‒rebound in overseas markets where self-isolation

requirements have been removed;

‒the expectation that the Government’s self-isolation

requirements will fall away after Omicron peaks in New

Zealand; and

‒Australia’s recently announced reopening to international

visitors from 21 February 2022

•Auckland Airport remains focused on:

‒the ongoing safe operation of the airport to ensure a safe

travel environment and facilitate the Government’s border

requirements and

‒maintaining engagement with airline partners who have

indicated they are unlikely to commit to New Zealand until the

Government’s position on self isolation changes

Auckland Airport remains well positioned for the expected recovery

in aviation

Border reopening stages:

From 27 February: Kiwis and critical workers

from Australia can return

From 13 March: Kiwis from all other countries

can return

From 12 April: open to non-citizens with visas

(offshore temporary visa holders, international

students and skilled workers) from any

country

By July: open to anyone from Australia and

visa-waiver travelfrom countries like the USA,

Canada, UK, Europe, Singapore, Japan and

South Korea.

October: open to visitors from anywhere in the

Guidance

•As we look to the remainder of the 2022 financial year, we continue to

face significant uncertainty regarding the recovery of international

passengers

•Despite this uncertainty, we are providing underlying earnings

guidance for the 2022 financial year of a loss of between $25 million

and $50 million. Although the Government remains committed to

reopening the border, this guidance assumes that:

‒the requirement for mandatory self-isolation will significantly

dampen international demand over the remainder of FY22, with

Tasman passenger numbers somewhere between 10-30% of pre-

COVID levels from March 2022 onwards and long-haul

international passenger numbers unlikely to exceed 5%;

‒New Zealand’s community Omicron outbreak will cap the domestic

passenger recovery at somewhere between 45-90% of pre-COVID

levels over the remainder of 2H22; and

‒FY22 operating costs will be constrained to $5-10 million below the

bottom of the $160-$175 million range previously guided;

•In addition, Auckland Airport reconfirms its capital expenditure

14

guidance for the 2022 financial year of between $250 million to $300

million

•This guidance is subject to any material adverse events, significant

one-off expenses, non-cash fair value changes to property and any

deterioration due to global market conditions or other unforeseeable

circumstances

Appendix: Underlying profit / (loss) reconciliation

•We have made the following adjustments to show underlying profit / (loss) after tax for the six months ended 31 December 2021 and 2020:

–reversed out the impact of revaluations of investment property. An investor should monitor changes in investment property over time as a measure of

growing value. However, a change in one particular year is too short to measure long-term performance. Changes between years canbe volatile and,

consequently, will impact comparisons. Finally, the revaluation is unrealisedand, therefore, is not considered when determining dividends in

accordance with the dividend policy;

–reversed out the impact of fixed asset project write-offs, impairments and termination costs. The termination or writing-off of live capital expenditure

projects is extremely rare and is the direct consequence of COVID-19. Therefore, related costs and cost reversals are not considered to be an element

of the group’s normal business activities and on this basis have been excluded from underlying profit;

–reversed out the impact of derivative fair value movements. Derivative fair value movements are unrealisedand relate to basis swaps that do not

qualify for hedge accounting, as well as the ineffective valuation movements in other financial derivatives. The group holdsits derivatives to maturity,

so any fair value movements are expected to reverse out over their remaining lives;

–adjusted the share of profit of associates and joint ventures to reverse out the impacts on those profits from revaluations of investment property and

financial derivatives; and

–reversed out the taxation impacts of the above movements in both six-month periods.
