Auckland Airport today announced its financial results for the six months to 31 December 2025.
Auckland Airport Chair Julia Hoare said: “The first half of the financial year has seen significant
progress on our investment programme, with key aeronautical infrastructure projects delivered
and our new domestic jet terminal build firmly on track.
“As New Zealand’s gateway airport, we have continued to work with airline partners to launch
new international routes and services, strengthening our country’s connectivity to key global
markets.
“Alongside ongoing improvements in operational performance, all of these changes are delivering
real benefits for travellers and the wider New Zealand economy,” Ms Hoare said.
Chief Executive Carrie Hurihanganui said the most significant international highlight during the
half year was the launch of China Eastern’s Shanghai–Auckland–Buenos Aires service, made
possible through years of collaboration between China Eastern, Auckland Airport and
government partners.

Includes a $26.3 million net revaluation gain, compared to a $50.5 million net revaluation gain in the same
period last year
“The service places Auckland Airport at the heart of the world’s longest direct flight, delivering an
estimated $110 million in benefits to New Zealand’s economy annually,” Ms Hurihanganui said.
“Already the route is proving popular with travellers connecting from China via Auckland to
Buenos Aires, as well as the estimated 40,000 South Americans living in New Zealand wanting to
visit friends and family back home.
“Overall, it’s been a promising start to the 2026 financial year for international travel as seat
capacity increased 1.8% during the half-year compared to 2025, lifting the recovery in non-transit
passenger movements to 93% of the same period in FY19.
“We were pleased to see Air New Zealand grow its network from Auckland, with seat capacity to
Australia up 8.4%, and capacity to the Pacific Islands increasing by 7.3%. This growth was
complemented by welcomed capacity increases from Jetstar and Qantas, which lifted seat
capacity from Auckland Airport to Australia by 4% and 7.3% respectively during the half year.
“Travellers on North American routes continue to be exceptionally well served with seven airlines
competing in the market, and we’re welcoming more inbound visitors to New Zealand on these
routes than ever before.
“International travel at Auckland Airport is an essential driver of the economy, generating over
$35.1 billion in economic output in trade, tourism and employment
2
, and our focus remains on
actively promoting New Zealand abroad through strategic route development.
“While the passenger demand trajectory is certainly positive, we expect the ongoing global fleet
shortages to continue to weigh on the availability of new seat capacity supply and the pace of
growth in the near term.”
In the domestic market, Ms Hurihanganui said the half-year period saw the largest boost to
domestic jet seat capacity in 10 years, although it remains at 93% of the same period in FY19.
“Overall, there was a 5% increase in domestic jet seat capacity or 181,000 seats in the local
aviation market during the half-year, helping to make flying more affordable on key routes with
average jet airfare costs falling by 6% during the period.
Despite higher travel numbers and increased activity across the system, Ms Hurihanganui said
Auckland Airport had continued to deliver tangible operational improvements, making traveller
journeys more streamlined than ever.
Over the summer peak period (8 December – 18 January) median international departure
processing times
3
were 21% faster at 6.5 minutes compared to the same period last year, while
international arrivals
4
were 10% faster at 18 minutes. Domestic departures
5
also showed strong
improvements, with departing passengers processed 21% faster year on year, at a median time of
less than four minutes.

“This progress reflects the continued close collaboration with government border agency
partners alongside infrastructure improvements such as the expanded arrivals area, new security
screening technology, and the new express pathway for eligible arriving travellers.
“From smoother passenger processing to reduced queue times, these improvements are enabling
the airport to manage growing demand efficiently while maintaining a reliable and positive
experience for travellers.”
Ms Hurihanganui said Auckland Airport made strong progress with its investment programme
during the half year, delivering key projects to support greater operational efficiency and
capacity.
New infrastructure brought into service during the period included the 250,000m
2
international
airfield expansion, a new cargo access point to the airfield, a major upgrade of the stormwater
network and the western truck dock.
“As the owner of one of New Zealand’s most strategic infrastructure sites, Auckland
Airport is investing in infrastructure that is creating jobs and adding essential resilience and
capacity to the country’s national gateway.
“The opening of the new $465 million international airfield expansion in September 2025 was an
important milestone, creating parking for 11 aircraft and supporting improved airfield operational
efficiency.
“Our key construction project, the integrated domestic jet terminal, remains on track for
completion in 2029, with steady progress achieved across both terminal and airfield works. The
new terminal structure is now clearly visible to airport visitors, and in November 2025 the project
reached a key milestone with the physical connection to the existing international terminal
building. About 60,000m
2
of airfield has been temporarily closed and made available to support
construction of the domestic jet terminal pier and stands, with piling underway, fuel system
installation progressing, and airfield pavement works now starting.
“We’re excited to see this project take shape alongside other major infrastructure projects in
Auckland, benefitting the region with enhanced connectivity, an improved visitor experience, and
helping to drive Auckland’s economic growth.”
Ms Hurihanganui said construction activity at the international terminal over the next eighteen
months would become more visible to travellers with the opening of a temporary check-in facility
and changes to the passenger access routes.
“This next stage of the build, where we are upgrading the check-in area at the international
terminal, is an essential step in delivering the long-term capacity, resilience and improved
customer experience travellers have been asking for at Auckland Airport,” she said.
“Travellers can expect some temporary disruption as this complex work gets underway,
particularly in international departures.
“We are working closely with airlines and government agency partners to minimise impacts as
much as possible, particularly during peak travel periods. We will be asking international travellers
to plan ahead and allow extra time. Clear signage and additional airport team members will be on
hand to support customers at the international terminal, as we continue to balance the day to day
running of the airport with the need to deliver this essential infrastructure. The result will be worth
it.”
Alongside the improvements taking place in the international departures area, Ms Hurihanganui
said travellers could also look forward to a much-improved duty-free shopping experience in the
international terminal, following the introduction of the airport’s new duty-free partner, French
global-travel retailer Lagardère, at the start of the half-year period.
“The new offering is already proving popular with travellers as Lagardère looks to significantly
upgrade the store experience for customers, offering new brands and more consumer choice. As
we look ahead, we are confident these improvements will deliver a more enjoyable, modern
experience to travellers.”
Auckland Airport’s commercial property portfolio continued to deliver solid performance, with an
annualised rent roll of $195.4 million, occupancy rates of 99% and a weighted average lease term
of 8.7 years. While the half year result reflected softer market conditions for new commercial
developments, interest levels from prospective tenants remains positive. The premium outlet
centre Mānawa Bay continued to perform strongly, maintaining 99% occupancy as at 31
December 2025.
Regulatory
In December the High Court released its judgment to decline the merits review application on the
cost of capital determination within the Commerce Commission’s Airport Services Input
Methodologies. Auckland Airport has not appealed the High Court’s decision.
In January 2026, the Commerce Commission began its process to consult on the Information
Disclosure requirements for major airport investment, in line with an earlier recommendation by
the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment. Auckland Airport is supportive of the
Commission undertaking a thorough process to support the information disclosure regime and is
making submissions to the Commission as part of the review. The Commission plans to complete
this process by the third quarter of 2026.
Alongside this, the Commission in March will start consultation on amendments to the airport
cost of capital input methodologies, in light of coding errors that informed the 2023 Input
Methodologies. Auckland Airport will make submissions as part of this process, with the
Commission targeting a final decision in June.
Outlook
Looking ahead to the remainder of the 2026 financial year, Ms Hurihanganui said aeronautical and
commercial activity was expected to continue its positive trajectory.
Reflecting this and growing confidence in the passenger forecast for FY26, Auckland Airport is
narrowing guidance of underlying profit after tax (excluding any fair value changes and other one-
off items) to between $295 million and $320 million
6
.
Similarly, reflecting the softer commercial property market conditions, the airport is narrowing its
guidance on capital expenditure to between $1,000 million to $1,200 million
7
.
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.
6
Original FY26 underlying profit guidance of between $280 million and $320 million
7
Original FY26 capital expenditure guidance of between $1 billion and $1.3 billion

We have made the following adjustments to show underlying profit after tax for the six months
ended 31 December 2025 and 2024:
• 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 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 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. 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 periods.

Interim Financial Statements 2026Auckland Airport6
Notes and accounting policies
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2025
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
18 February 2026.
2. Basis of preparation and summary of material 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 Annual Report
for the year ended 30 June 2025.
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 2025 Annual 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.
Accounting standards not yet effective
New or revised standards and interpretations that have been
approved but are not yet effective have not been adopted by
the group in these interim financial statements.
NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial
Statements, issued in May 2024, is effective for annual
reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2027, and
entities can early adopt this accounting standard. NZ IFRS
18 sets out requirements for the presentation and disclosure
of information in general-purpose financial statements to
help ensure they provide relevant information that faithfully
represents an entity’s assets, liabilities, equity, income and
expenses. The group is yet to assess NZ IFRS 18’s full impact.
The group intends to apply the standard when it becomes
mandatory from 1 January 2027.
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.
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. The most significant areas of damage were to check-
in, baggage and vertical transportation at the international
terminal building. Auckland Airport has material damage,
business interruption and construction works insurance
policies in place. The group engaged independent experts to
estimate the extent and cost of damage and to support the
insurance claim process.
The group recognises the expected insurance proceeds when
they can be reliably estimated and the recovery is virtually
certain. The insurers made further payments of $3.0 million
during the six months ended 31 December 2025, which
the group has recognised as income. In total, the group
has recognised $31.0 million as income since the January
2023 event.
During the six months ended 31 December 2025 the group
recognised $0.4 million of flood-related expenses for repairs. In
total, the group has recognised $24.3 million as flood-related
expenses since the January 2023 event.

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
1
. 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.
Retail
The retail business provides services to the retailers within the
terminals and provides car parking facilities for passengers,
visitors and airport staff.
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.

At 31 December 2025, the group held total cash and term
deposits of $360.6 million (30 June 2025: $567.8 million).
The short-term deposits over the six-month period to
31 December 2025 ranged from $50.0 million to $150.0 million
and were spread across four financial institutions to minimise
credit risk, with those being ANZ Bank, Bank of China, Bank
of New Zealand and Westpac New Zealand (30 June 2025:
$50.0 million to $150.0 million across six financial institutions).
These financial institutions had a credit rating of 'A' or above
from Standard & Poor's ('S&P'). The level of deposits at each
financial institution recognises a balance between returns and
credit risk.
Further details of Auckland Airport's credit risk objectives and
policies are available in note 16(d) of the 2025 Annual Report.

The group carries land, buildings and services, infrastructure

At 31 December 2025 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 2025
desktop assessment compared retail and car parking
performance with independent valuers' views at the last
formal valuation as at 30 June 2025.
•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 9, 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 there was no material fair value
movement in any class of property, plant and equipment from
30 June 2025.
Vehicles, plant and equipment and work in progress are carried
at cost.
Additions to property, plant and equipment, including work
in progress, were $406.7 million for the six months ended
31 December 2025 (six months ended 31 December 2024:
$515.0 million). These include upgrades associated with both
the domestic jet terminal and the airfield.
There were no transfers to/from investment property during
the six months ended 31 December 2025 (31 December
2024: nil).
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 $355.9 million (30 June
2025: $355.9 million);
•Land associated with retail facilities within terminal
buildings carried at $1,795.9 million (30 June 2025:
$1,795.9 million); and
•Terminal building premises, being 14% of total floor area and
carried at $387.1 million (30 June 2025: 15% of total floor

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
International (Colliers), Savills Limited (Savills) and Jones Lang
LaSalle Limited (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 increase
of $26.3 million or 0.8% for the overall portfolio for the
six months ended 31 December 2025 (31 December 2024:
increase of $50.5 million or 1.7%).
The following categories of investment property are leased
to tenants:
•Retail and service carried at $664.8 million (30 June 2025:
$658.1 million);
•Industrial carried at $2,240.2 million (30 June 2025:

12. Fair value of financial instruments
There have been no transfers between levels of the fair value
hierarchy in the period to 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025:
nil). Refer to note 2(e) of the 2025 Annual Report for an
explanation of the levels in the fair value hierarchy.
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.

15. Commitments
(a) Property, plant and equipment
The group had contractual obligations to purchase or
develop property, plant and equipment for $1,312.4 million
at 31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: $1,113.4 million). This
includes continued development of the domestic jet terminal
building, as well as further upgrades to the airfield.
(b) Investment property
The group had contractual obligations to purchase, develop,
repair or maintain investment property for $180.0 million at
31 December 2025 (30 June 2025: $188.0 million).
16. Contingent liabilities
Noise mitigation
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 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 $12.3 million (30 June 2025: $12.5 million).
Firefighting foam contaminated water and soil clean-up
Per and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) containing
firefighting foam has been widely used in the airport sector,
globally and throughout New Zealand. There is evidence of
varying levels of PFAS contamination derived from historical
firefighting foams used at Auckland Airport. As disclosed in
note 15 of the 2025 Financial Statements, the group continues
to recognise a provision for contamination where it has a
present obligation to remediate the contamination it has
identified in surface water and sediment.
The group has also detected further low-level PFAS
contamination within a stockpile of fill material located on land
within the group's control. There remains no environmental
requirement or other obligation to remove the contaminated
material, which is appropriately contained. The group has
estimated a contingent liability of $14.9 million to remove
and treat contaminated fill material within the stockpile
(30 June 2025: $14.9 million). The full extent of contamination,
approach to be taken, and the cost of management is still
being assessed.
The group is also aware of PFAS contamination within
tenant-leased areas. While tenants are responsible for the
management of PFAS associated with their past activities, the
group may be exposed to additional costs of managing PFAS
if it is not appropriately contained. The group does not have
sufficient information to estimate potential costs associated
with PFAS from tenant leased areas.
17. Events subsequent to balance date
On 16 February 2026, the directors of Queenstown Airport declared a fully imputed interim dividend of $7.2 million for the six
months ended 31 December 2025. The group’s share of the dividend is $1.8 million.
On 18 February 2026, the directors approved the payment of a fully imputed interim dividend of 6.50 cents per share amounting to
$110.2 million to be paid on 2 April 2026.

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
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 might identify in an audit. Accordingly we do not express an audit opinion on the interim financial statements.

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 2025, 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 2025 and its financial performance and cash flows for the six months
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’). 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 Professional and Ethical Standard 1
International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including International Independence
Standards) (New Zealand) (‘PES 1’) as applicable to audits and reviews of public interest entities.
We also have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with PES 1.
Our firm carries out other assignments for the Group in the areas of greenhouse gas inventory
assurance reporting, trustee reporting and assurance reporting for airport-related regulatory
disclosures, 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 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.

•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 unaudited financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2025, 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;

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 any time after its release, whether as a result of new
information, future events, or otherwise.
All currency amounts are expressed in New Zealand dollars unless otherwise stated and figures, including percentage movements, are subject to rounding.
Refer to page 39 for a glossary of the key terms used in this presentation.
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 supplementary slides.
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.

amendments to the airport cost of capital input methodologies, in light of coding
errors that informed the 2023 Input Methodologies. Auckland Airport will make
submissions as part of this process, with the Commission targeting a final decision
on amendments in June 2026

Financial results
•Revenue rose 4% in the period reflecting increases in both
aeronautical charges and passenger numbers and higher
commercial income
•Operating costs decreased 1% with success in our ‘Match Fit’
programme, partially offset by investments in new digital
capabilities and support for growing commercial activities
•EBITDAFI rose 6% and EBITDAFI margin increased from 69.9% to
71.5% reflecting the operational leverage in the period
•Share of profit of associate and joint ventures of $5.0 million driven
by solid trading performances by both Queenstown Airport and
the Novotel hotel and a reduced loss at the Pullman hotel
•Depreciation expense increased 20% in the period to $118.6 million,
reflecting new assets commissioned in the period and the full
period impact of assets commissioned in the prior year
•Interest expense decreased to $41.4 million in the period reflecting
lower cost of debt compared to 1H25, partially offset by an increase
in drawn debt
•Underlying profit in 1H26 increased 6% to $157.1 million

Auckland Airport
•Aeronautical revenue from airfield and the passenger services
charges grew a combined 7% driven by the increase in passenger
numbers, combined with higher aeronautical charges that support
the investment in the period
•Retail income declined 2% in the period reflecting lower Duty-Free
concession rates and a change in mix to lower margin categories,
partially offset by an increase in sales volumes
•The recent investments expanding car parking capacity as well
strong performance in premium parking products lifted car parking
income 14%
•Investment property rental income rose 9% reflecting rental growth
in the existing portfolio and a full period contribution from earlier
developments
•Interest income fell to $7.1 million reflecting the lower cash balance
as the proceeds of the 2024 equity raise were invested during
2025

•Staff cost growth reflects the combined effects of increased
aeronautical and commercial activity, partially offset by benefits
from organisational changes undertaken during last financial year
•Increased asset management, maintenance and airport operations
reflects higher outsourced operations to support the growth in
both aeronautical and commercial activities. The growth
associated with a full six months of costs relating to Mānawa Bay
and the upper floors of the Transport Hub is partially offset by
ongoing focus to optimise how assets are managed through their
lifecycle
•Rates and Insurance costs increased 12% following the ongoing
investment in aeronautical and commercial assets
•Marketing and promotional expenses fell 48% to $2.8 million in the
period reflecting no repeat of activities to support the launch of
the new commercial activities in the prior period
•Expenses relating to professional services and levies fell by 24% to
$3.1 million reflecting careful cost management across
discretionary lines such as consultancy and legal
•Other expenses decreased to $8.3 million reflecting no repeat of
the software charge in the prior period
•$0.4 million of flood-related expenses were incurred in the period
in relation to the January 2023 flooding event

Outlook
29
•As we look ahead to the remaining six months of the year, we expect to see
aeronautical and commercial activity continue its positive trajectory
•Recent trading momentum and the additional airline seat capacity provides
grounds for optimism for the remainder of the year. Notwithstanding, the scale and
complexity of the significant investment across the precinct continues to provide
challenges with forecasting post-tax profitability to within a very narrow range
•Reflecting this and growing confidence in the passenger forecast for FY26,
Auckland Airport is narrowing its guidance as follows:
‒underlying profit after tax guidance to between $295 million and $320 million on
domestic and international passenger numbers of circa 8.6 million and circa 10.6
million respectively; and
‒capital expenditure guidance to between $1,000 million and $1,200 million in the
year
•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

We have made the following adjustments to show underlying profit after tax for the six months ended 31 December 2025 and 2024:
•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 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. 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 periods.
