- EBITDA / Group revenue ratio forecast estimated between 15% and 20% in 2021;
- Annual investments amount in Paris, regulated and non-regulated (excluding financial investment) for 2021-2022, estimated between €500 and €550million on average per year;

Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO, stated: "After a first half of 2021 still strongly impacted by the persistence of the Covid-19 pandemic, the recovery of traffic intensified over the 3rd quarter of the year, in line with the group's forecasts, stabilizing to a level slightly above 50% compared to 2019. Groupe ADP's traffic was thus up by +14.5% compared to the first 9 months of 2020, with a total of 104.9 million passengers, or 39.1% of the first 9 months of 2019 traffic. Over the same period, Paris Aéroport traffic was down by ‑5.5%, with 26.3 million passengers, or 31.8% of the first 9 months of 2019 traffic. Consolidated revenue over the first 9 months of 2021 was up by +11.9%, at 1,868 million euros, mainly due to the effect of the gradual recovery of traffic, more pronounced abroad, on the revenues of TAV Airports and AIG. In Paris revenue from the Retail and services segment has been supported by sales per passenger in airside shops, up by +13.4%, at 21.1 euros, reassuring the group in the effectiveness of its retail business model. Regarding some of the group's international assets, several actions are ongoing, including in the context of international arbitrations, towards the involved stakeholders in order to restore the economic balance of the projects. Groupe ADP is pursuing its efforts aiming at stabilizing its financial situation and maintains a satisfying cash position. Groupe ADP confirms its traffic assumptions and forecasts for 2021."
