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 as well as the published materials for the respective interim and annual results.
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 thatan underlying profit or loss measurement can also assist investors to understand what is
happening in a business such 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 70% to 90% of underlying net 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.

Economic Regulation
On the 8th June 2023, Auckland Airport announced its aeronautical charges for price setting event four (“PSE4”) with new prices coming into effect from 1
July 2023. Separately, the New Zealand Commerce Commission (“NZCC”) has recently released a draft of its review of the input methodologies which is
now open for public submission
Input methodologies
•The NZCC recently released a draft report on its review of the Input Methodologies –i.e., the
rules and processes that underpin regulatory information disclosures including the
Commission’s WACC determination for monitoring purposes with public submissions due by 19
July 2023
•Following the submission process, Auckland Airport expects the Commission’s final decision to
be published in December 2023 and to apply to our future price setting events
PSE4 Aeronautical pricing
•Consultation on aeronautical pricing for PSE4 has concluded with new charges due to come
into effect from 1 July 2023. Prices were determined following consultation with airlines on a
range of factors including the commissioning of aeronautical infrastructure, operational
expenditure, target return and the recovery in passenger and aircraft movements
•The NZCC will now review Auckland Airport’s pricing for PSE4 with a final report expected
before 30 June 2024
•We understand that the Commission’s review of our PSE4 pricing decision will consider the
merits of our WACC / target return arguments in the context of its previous 2016 WACC IM
•Our target return is based on detailed empirical analysis disproving the merits of the
Commission’s 5 basis points downwards adjustment to asset beta for the aeronautical
component of airport businesses (the Commission has accepted this argument), using the
Commission's most recent TAMRP estimate (at that time 7.5%) and updating the Commission’s
risk free rate (3.6%) leverage (14%) and asset beta (0.80) estimates using the most recent 10
years of comparable airport company data available at the start of PSE4 (ieat 30 June 2022)

Re-energisingthe airport with solar
•A 2.3-megawatt solar array is planned for MānawaBay to support more
than 80 per cent of the center's anticipated power usage when it opens in
2024
•Expected to be the largest rooftop solar system in New Zealand

•A solar array of 1.2 megawatts will be installed on the 14,000m

roof of the
Transport Hub opposite the International Terminal
•Output will power the attached office building and electric vehicle charging stations
within its car park
Auckland Airport is looking skywards as we take our first steps to generate onsite renewable energy, with plans for rooftop solar systems atop two of our
newest buildings

Appendix: Underlying profit / (loss) reconciliation
•Auckland Airport recognisesEBITDAFI and underlying profit or loss are non-GAAP measures.
•We have made the following adjustments to show underlying profit / (loss) after tax for the six months ended 31 December 2022 and 2021:
–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 unrealisedand, therefore, is not considered when determining dividends in accordance with the dividend policy;
–reversed out the impact of fixed asset write-offs. 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 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.
•The underlying profit / (loss) reconciliation for years ended 30 June 2022 and prior are provided in the relevant annual resultsfor that year
