1H24 results: International travel demand

sees Auckland Airport deliver improved

half-year result as it invests for the future


Auckland Airport today announced its financial results for the six months to 31 December 2023.

Auckland Airport Chair Patrick Strange said: “Global demand for travel saw Auckland Airport

deliver a solid result in the first half of the 2024 financial year, with continued growth in our

international network as airlines expanded capacity and new entrants joined the market. North

America has been a particular highlight, where more people are now travelling to and from

Auckland than ever before. While the outlook continues to remain positive, we may see the rate

of growth slow over the second half of the financial year as the local aviation industry faces into

economic headwinds.”

Key performance data for the six months to 31 December 2023:

• Total number of passengers 9.3 million

• Domestic passengers of 4.3 million, and international passengers (including transits) of

5.0 million

• Revenue of $440.5 million

• Operating EBITDAFI of $310.2 million

• Reported profit after tax of $118.7 million

• Earnings per share of 8.05 cents

• Net underlying profit after tax of $145.7 million

• Net underlying profit per share of 9.89 cents

• An interim dividend of 6.75 cents per share will be paid

reported profit after tax to underlying profit after tax


“The half-year has not been without its challenges, with some customers experiencing

unacceptable delays in processing. I’m pleased about the way our team stepped up and led the

collaboration with government agencies, airlines and airline ground handlers to drive

improvements. This collective effort saw the system running more smoothly in time for the

summer peak, delivering a much-improved experience for travellers,” Mr Strange said.

Chief Executive Carrie Hurihanganui said: “As New Zealand’s gateway, strong connectivity

between Auckland Airport and the world is essential for our economy, so the successful growth

in international routes has been extremely positive.

“During the half year we were thrilled to welcome new airlines and destinations, with 27 airlines

flying to 42 international destinations to and from Auckland Airport – only two carriers and one

destination short of pre-COVID numbers.

“Auckland is now the most connected city in Australasia to the North American market, with

seven

2

airlines flying non-stop to eight destinations, including some of the world’s largest

commercial centres. In terms of benefits to customers, the increase in connectivity means more

airlines to choose from and downward pressure on airfares for this market.

In the six months to 31 December 2023, the total number of travellers increased by 22% to 9.3

million. Domestic traveller numbers were up 4% to 4.3 million, international travellers (excluding

transit passengers) were up 44% to 4.6 million and the number of international transit travellers

increased 33% to 0.4 million.

Other key markets have also shown considerable growth in capacity. There are now five airlines

flying to and from six destinations in China, with leisure visitors accounting for over 60 per cent

of all inbound travellers from China during the half year, overtaking those arriving to visit friends

and relatives. India and Philippines markets have also shown strength, with demand for seats

exceeding pre-pandemic levels during the period.

“As services have ramped up, driving improvements in the customer journey has been a clear

focus for everyone in the airport eco-system, particularly in the international arrivals area. I’m

delighted to say this resulted in more than a 20 per cent improvement

3

in processing times for

customers coming through the international arrivals process across December and January,

compared to the prior two months of October and November 2023.

“We are going to keep working at it to continue to improve the experience for travellers. It’s why

the upgrade of Auckland Airport’s infrastructure is so important. We want a better experience for

travellers across the system and that’s what our investment will deliver,” she said.

“Another key highlight over the half-year has been achieving Level 4 Airport Carbon

Accreditation

4

, putting Auckland Airport among Australasia’s seven leading airports in terms of

sustainability. This recognises Auckland Airport’s commitment to carbon reduction and the work

we are doing with our partners to reduce indirect emissions.

Ms Hurihanganui said Auckland Airport’s infrastructure development programme continued to

make good progress, with major projects underway across transport, airfield and terminals to

ensure the airport is resilient for the future. The first stage of the Transport Hub is nearing

completion and is expected to open in April 2024, acting as a new entrance and departure point

for the millions of travellers who visit Auckland Airport each year.

“We are focused on delivering new transport infrastructure that will make journeys to the airport

much easier and more reliable for travellers. Our new Transport Hub, which will serve both

international and domestic jet passengers once the new integrated terminal is built, will help

travellers move between vehicles, public transport and the terminal quickly and easily. The pick-

up and drop-off area is undercover and protected from the weather; roads have been configured

to provide a seamless one-way system for transport, and a new landscaped pedestrian plaza will

provide for a real uplift in the overall customer experience.

“Like many of our projects, we’re delivering the Transport Hub with sustainability at the forefront.

A giant solar array will help to power the facility, and we’ve set aside a corridor of land right next

to the Hub to allow for the development of future mass rapid transit.”

Elsewhere on the aviation precinct, aeronautical construction projects continue to advance as a

priority as Auckland Airport works to build greater resilience into New Zealand’s busiest gateway

and transform the customer experience.

“Critical enabling works to prepare for a new domestic terminal connected to the existing

international terminal are well advanced. This includes construction of the new eastern bag hall

with three baggage carousels providing not just a step change in technology and energy

efficiency, but the first elements of the future baggage handling system.

“A major airfield expansion is also underway, delivering seven new remote stands for

international aircraft and including construction of 3,500m of new stormwater pipes to increase

the resiliency of the airport and protect it from extreme weather events. The project is on track

for completion in late calendar year 2025.

“In terms of waste, we are having a meaningful impact on the environment with several initiatives

underway. One of these is a successful trial to separate organic waste in the international and

domestic terminal landside food courts. This is already saving eight tonnes of waste from the

landfill each month and is being turned into valuable compost. Alongside this, the new $5 million

transitional waste facility is improving the way waste from international flights, airline lounges, as

well as all waste from the domestic terminal and airside waste from the international terminal is

managed. This purpose-built facility sees the waste manually sorted to separate low-risk, clean

recyclables and diverts them from biosecurity treatment and disposal in landfill.

“Travellers are also seeing the benefits of work to improve facilities at the domestic terminal,

which is now almost 60 years old and reaching capacity. While we build our new domestic

terminal, we want to make sure customers have an enjoyable and comfortable experience in the

existing domestic terminal. So far, new women’s and men’s bathrooms have opened near

regional arrivals and departures, and customers are loving the fresh, new facilities and extra

space. We will soon begin working on the bathroom blocks near the Air New Zealand bag reclaim,

with a new parent room, upgraded accessible toilet facilities, and gender-neutral toilets being

delivered.”

Other improvements are underway across the aviation precinct, upgrading the experience for

visitors and the 20,000-plus people that work at the airport and helping the airport reach its

sustainability goals.

“Our new Park & Ride South facility, due to open before the end of the 2024 financial year, will

create easier travel connections for anyone arriving from the south. With about 40 per cent of all

precinct traffic arriving from the south, we recognise the importance of upgrading the southern

access point to the airport. Our new parking facility will offer convenient parking options and easy

connections to the terminals via a bus service that will transition from fossil-fuel to electric next

summer.

“We saw Te Arikinui Pullman Auckland Airport Hotel, our joint venture with Tainui Group

Holdings, open its doors for the first time in December, providing a 5-star accommodation

experience to visitors on the doorstep of the international terminal.


“Mānawa Bay, which aims to be New Zealand’s first 5 Green Star premium outlet shopping

destination, is on track to open in September 2024, and has experienced strong demand from

tenants.”

In the terminals, Aelia Duty Free (owned by Lagardère Travel Retail SAS) has been operating as

Auckland Airport's main duty-free operator, after winning a contract extension until mid-2025. It’s

been a successful transition as part of Auckland Airport’s move to a single-operator duty free

model.

“All of these developments, plus many more, will deliver the thriving aviation precinct that Kiwis

are looking for,” she said.

On the regulatory front, Auckland Airport recently joined other regulated airports and the New

Zealand Airports’ Association (which represents city and regional airports) in appealing to the

High Court for a merits review following a decision by the Commerce Commission, which

regulates the pricing of major airports.

The appeal relates to the Commission’s decision on 13 December following its review of input

methodologies (IM) – the rules, requirements and processes that outline how the Commission

regulates electricity line, gas pipeline and airport services under the Commerce Act (Part 4). This

appeal process is included in the Act as the appropriate way for the Commission’s decisions to

be reviewed.

Separate to this, the Commission is currently underway with its review of Auckland Airport’s Price

Setting Event 4 (PSE4), with the draft outcome of the review expected in May.

As we look to the remainder of the 2024 financial year, we continue to see healthy airline

capacity in the market, although headwinds such as the softening of the New Zealand economy

may temper the rate of growth.

Reflecting this, Auckland Airport is reconfirming its guidance of underlying profit after tax

(excluding any fair value changes and other one-off items) of between $260 million and $280

million. With the significant investment across the airport precinct continuing, Auckland Airport

is lifting its guidance on capital expenditure to between $1.1 billion and $1.4 billion in the year

(from between $1 billion and $1.4 billion). As always, this guidance is subject to any material

adverse events, significant one-off expenses, deterioration as a result of global market

conditions, or other unforeseeable circumstances.

Financial statements

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

21 February 2024.

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 2023.

These interim financial statements are presented in New

Zealand dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest million

dollars ($M) and one decimal point unless otherwise indicated.

The accounting policies and methods of computation set out in

the 2023 Financial Report have been applied consistently to all

periods presented in these interim financial statements.

There were no new accounting standards, interpretations

or amendments with a material impact on these interim

financial statements.

Climate-related disclosure standard

The New Zealand External Reporting Board (XRB) has

published a suite of standards in line with the recommendations

of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures

(TCFD), the global best-practice benchmark for climate-

related reporting. The final standards were published in

December 2022.

Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standards (NZ CS) are effective

3. Changes in key estimates and judgements

Flood-related insurance matters

On 27 January 2023, Auckland experienced widespread flash

flooding caused by record-breaking rainfall. Auckland Airport

experienced flooding across the precinct and particularly

the international terminal building. Both the domestic and

international terminals were closed for short periods starting

that evening, with domestic

flights resuming at midday on

28 January 2023 and international flights from the morning of

29 January 2023.

Auckland Airport suffered flood damage to assets across its

precinct. Auckland Airport has material damage, business

interruption and construction works insurance policies in place.

The group has engaged independent experts to estimate

the likely extent and cost of damage and to support the

insurance claim process. The experts do not yet have sufficient

information to complete a full assessment.

As a result, these financial statements include a number of

key estimates and judgements related to the flood event. It is

possible that the actual financial impacts will differ from those

included in these financial statements and these differences

may be material.

The group recognises the expected insurance proceeds when

they can be reliably estimated and the recovery is virtually

certain. The insurers have acknowledged the flood event

damage and agreed to a second payment of $10.0 million,

which the group has recognised as income during the period

ended 31 December 2023. This is in addition to the first

payment of $5.0 million recognised during the year ended

30 June 2023.

The group recognised $8.6 million of flood-related expenses,

predominantly related to repairs, during the period ended

31 December 2023. This is in addition to flood-related

expenses of $8.4 million recognised in the year ended

30 June 2023.

At 31 December 2023, the group reduced its impairment of

flood-damaged assets to reflect the above-mentioned repairs

completed during the period. The group also reassessed the

impairment for assets that remain damaged at 31 December

2023. Those adjustments resulted in a net $10.8 million

reversal of impairments, which was recognised in the

property, plant and equipment revaluation reserve through other

comprehensive income. At 31 December 2023, the buildings

and services class of property, plant and equipment remains

impaired by $10.4 million (30 June 2023: $21.2 million).

The assessment of the full cost, and the work to remediate the

damage associated with the flood event, is not yet complete.

Further expenditure and any additional insurance proceeds will

be recognised in this and subsequent

financial years.

The interim financial statements do not include all financial

disclosures and should be read in conjunction with note 3(f)

of the 30 June 2023 Financial Statements.

4. 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 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.

The group carries land, buildings and services, infrastructure

and runway, taxiways and aprons at fair value.

At 31 December 2023 and 31 December 2022 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 2023

desktop assessment compared retail and car parking

performance with independent valuers' views at the last

formal valuation as at 30 June 2023.

•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, in particular the vacant

land component.

•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.

These assessments indicated that there was no material fair

value movement in any class of property, plant and equipment

from 30 June 2023.

Vehicles, plant and equipment and work in progress are carried

at cost.

During the period, the group reduced the useful lives

for some building and infrastructure assets that were

decommissioned as part of the enabling works for the terminal

development programme. The effect of the change was a

$10.5 million increase in depreciation for the period ended

31 December 2023.

Additions to property, plant and equipment, including work

in progress, were $473.4 million for the six months ended

31 December 2023 (six months ended 31 December 2022:

$214.5 million). These include enabling works associated with

the integration of the domestic and international terminals,

airfield renewals and expansion, the development of the new

Transport Hub and Park & Ride South.

There were transfers from investment property of $1.4 million

during the six months ended 31 December 2023 (transfers to

investment property during the six months ended 31 December

2022: $1.6 million).

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 $344.7 million (30 June

2023: $344.7 million);

•Land associated with retail facilities within terminal

buildings carried at $1,661.0 million (30 June 2023:

$1,661.0 million); and

•Terminal building premises (within buildings and services),

being 15% of total floor area and carried at $249.7 million

(30 June 2023: 15% of total floor area or $224.0 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 revaluation

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.

The basis of valuation is market value, based on each

property’s highest and best use. The valuation methodologies

used were a direct sales comparison or a direct capitalisation of

rental income, using market comparisons of capitalisation rates,

supported by a discounted cash flow approach.

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. This has

resulted in a fair value decrease of $27.1 million or 0.9% for the

overall portfolio for the six months ended 31 December 2023

(31 December 2022: decrease of $93.8 million or 3.2%).

The following categories of investment property are leased

to tenants:

•Retail and service carried at $468.6 million (30 June 2023:

$406.4 million);

•Industrial carried at $1,946.7 million (30 June 2023:

$1,886.1 million); and

•Other investment property carried at $174.6 million (30 June

13. 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 2023 Financial Report.

Further information is also contained in the risk management

section of the 2023 Annual Report.

There have been no significant changes in the financial risk

management objectives and policies since 30 June 2023.

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 2023 (30 June

2023: 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 $652.9 million at

31 December 2023 (30 June 2023: $560.3 million).

(b) Investment property

The group had contractual obligations to purchase, develop,

repair or maintain investment property for $143.3 million at

31 December 2023 (30 June 2023: $215.4 million).

(c) Joint ventures

At 31 December 2023, the Tainui Auckland Airport Hotel

2 Limited Partnership (joint venture) had completed the

construction of the Pullman Hotel and no further contractual

obligation existed (30 June 2023: $12.7 million and the group's

share of those commitments was $6.4 million).

16. Contingent liabilities

Noise insulation

Auckland Airport Designation 1100, contained in the Auckland

Unitary Plan, sets out Auckland Airports' obligations for noise

mitigation for properties affected by aircraft noise. This includes

obligations 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 the individual landowner 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 $7.3 million (30 June 2023:

$7.6 million).

Contractor claims

The group had a historical contingent liability arising from a

contractor claim that was initially disclosed in 2020. During

the period the group reached a settlement agreement of

$2.0 million with the contractor and as a result, the contingent

liability from the contractor claim was extinguished (30 June

2023: $4.6 million).

17. Events subsequent to balance date

On 20 February 2024, the directors of Queenstown Airport declared an interim dividend of $5.3 million for the period ended

31 December 2023. The group’s share of the dividend is $1.3 million.

On 21 February 2024, the directors approved the payment of a fully imputed interim dividend of 6.75 cents per share amounting to

$99.6 million to be paid on 5 April 2024.

Auckland International Airport Limited

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’) on pages 2 to 18 which

comprise the consolidated interim statement of financial position as at 31 December 2023, 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 notes to the interim financial statements,

including material accounting policy information.

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 2023 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.

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, trustee reporting and assurance reporting for regulatory reporting, and non-assurance services in

relation to the integrity of the aeronautical pricing model as well as non-assurance services provided to the

Corporate Taxpayers Group of which the Company is a member. 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

•is provided for general information purposes only, and is not an offer or invitation for subscription, purchase, or recommendation of securities in Auckland International Airport Limited (Auckland Airport);

•should be read in conjunction with, and is subject to, Auckland Airport’s audited financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2023, prior annual and interim reports, and Auckland Airport's market releases on the NZX

and ASX;

•may include forward-looking statements about Auckland Airport and the environment in which it operates which are subject to uncertainties and contingencies outside of Auckland Airport's control. Auckland Airport's

actual results or performance may differ materially from these statements;

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 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 profit after tax (excluding unrealised gains 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.

•Car park income continued to perform strongly,

reflecting growth in passenger numbers and

longer average durations

•Investment property rental income increased by

11% on the prior period driven by rental growth in

the existing portfolio, part period new leases in

Outlook

Guidance

•As we look to the remainder of FY24, we continue to see growth in capacity

deployed by international airlines and strong demand for our commercial

products and services

•However, uncertainty remains around the pace of growth given the effect of

economic headwinds on domestic demand and externalities impacting capacity

to Auckland

•Reflecting this, Auckland Airport provides the following guidance for FY24:

‒reconfirms underlying earnings guidance of between $260 million and $280

million reflecting anticipated domestic and international passenger numbers

of circa 8.6 million and circa 10.3 million respectively; and

‒lifting capital expenditure guidance to between $1,100 million and $1,400

million in the year reflecting the significant investment across the airport

precinct

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

expenses and any deterioration due to global market conditions or other

unforeseeable circumstances

Appendix: Underlying profit reconciliation

We have made the following adjustments to show underlying profit after tax for the six months ended 31 December 2023 and 2022:

•we have 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;

•we have also reversed out the impact of derivative fair value movements. These are unrealisedand 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;

•in addition, we have 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

•we have also reversed out the taxation impacts of the above movements in both six-month periods
