Augustin de Romanet, Chairman and CEO of Aéroports de Paris - Groupe ADP, said:

"Groupe ADP consolidated revenue of the first quarter of 2016 grew by 1.8%, to €683 million thanks to international activities and real estate, despite a difficult context since the end of 2015. Traffic evolution reflects a recovery of international traffic supported in particular by American, Middle-East and overseas territories destinations. The impact of terrorist attacks in Paris on tourism activities and the appreciation of euro negatively affected the revenue from airside shops this quarter. We foresee a recovery in retail activities for the 2 nd  half of 2016.

In the line of our Connect 2020 strategic plan, we revealed on 14 April our new brands, Groupe ADP and Paris Aéroport, and we opened the new eastern pier in Paris-Orly. Our strategy of quality of services won new successes for Paris-Charles de Gaulle with an entering in the global top 10 of best airports welcoming more than 50 million passengers and the progression of hall M in terminal 2E as 3 rd best terminal in the world."

Appendix

Restated First quarter of 2015 revenue

Application of the interpretation of the IFRIC 21 norm

The application of the interpretation of the IFRIC 21 norm makes mandatory the recognition of a liability in respect of taxes at the date of the event that generates the liability (and not according to the basis for calculating these taxes) and leads to a restatement of some taxes previously spread over the period. Taxes affected by this restatement at Group level are Property Tax ( taxe foncière) , the Office Tax in Ile-de-France ( taxe sur les bureaux en Ile de France) and the Company's Social Solidarity Contribution ( contribution sociale de solidarité des sociétés) and are accounted for in Group operating expenses.

During the 1 st quarter of 2015, cost reinvocing linked to those taxes in Q1 2015 should be accounted for. The restated consolidated and real estate revenues are as below:

 (in million of euros) 2015 published IFRIC 21 2015
pro forma
Real estate 64 +9  73 
Consolidated revenue  662  +9   671 

This restatement has no impact on Groupe ADP 2015 half year and full year financial statements.
