Quarterly Report
Vienna Airport - Flughafen Wien AG in Q1-3/2021: Significant increase in
passenger volumes compared to the first half-year and strict cost management
support economic recovery - Return to profitability within reach
* Q1-3/2021: 8.45 million passengers in the Flughafen Wien Group, slightly below
2020 but a 71.9% decline from 2019 - strong upswing in Q3/2021 with passenger
traffic only down 49.2% vs. 2019
* Financial indicators in Q1-3/2021: revenue of EUR 274.5 million and net profit
for the period of minus EUR 0.1 million, substantial improvement of EBITDA and
EBIT compared to 2020, turnaround of free cash flow at EUR 21.4 million (vs.
minus EUR 65.3 million in Q1-3/2020)
* October 2021: 2.02 million passengers in the Flughafen Wien Group, four times
higher than October 2020, only 43.4% below 2019
* GUIDANCE: passenger volume for the entire Group of 12-13 million travellers
(more than ten million at Vienna Airport) anticipated for the entire year
2021; a positive net profit of EUR 4 million expected, thus a clear return to
profitability
"Vienna Airport is well on track to achieve a turnaround"
"In spite of the continuation of the coronavirus crisis, the massive losses
incurred by Flughafen Wien AG in the year 2020 will not be repeated. The
successful cost reduction measures, delayed investments and growing traffic
volumes mean that the targeted return to profitability will be achieved in the
annual results. 2022 will be characterised by growth. Some 50 new jobs will be
created in the AirportCity located directly at Vienna Airport thanks to DHL
Air's establishing a head office at the site. Deutsche Logistik Holding (DLH)
will open their cargo facilities covering 30,000 m², and one of Austria's
largest logistics centres will arise on 23 hectares in the near future on the
expanded airport premises. These and other business location projects will bring
approx. 1,000 new jobs to the airport in the coming years. In this regard,
sustainability is a top priority. The country's largest photovoltaic plant
spanning 24 hectares will be put into operation in the spring of 2022," states
Günther Ofner, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien AG.
"The upswing will take place together with the 2022 summer flight schedule"
"The upward trend in traffic development is continuing. In October 2021 we
registered four times as many passengers as in October of the previous year, and
capacity utilisation is also increasing once again. The current 2021/22 winter
flight schedule featuring 150 destinations is almost at the pre-crisis level,
and travellers will currently find particularly attractive offers at present.
Sunny long-haul destinations for the cold season such as Cancún, Malé and
Mauritius can be reached directly from Vienna and flights from Europe to the USA
are possible once again. Passenger volumes at Vienna Airport in the entire year
of 2021 will still be very moderate at more than ten million travellers due to
the pandemic. In the entire year 2021, the total number of passengers handled by
Vienna Airport will still be at a moderate level of somewhat more than ten
million due to the coronavirus pandemic. However, the growth trend is clearly
perceptible. Even if the fourth COVID-19 wave is currently leading to increased
infection rate, from today's perspective we expect, in any case, a considerable
upswing in passenger volumes when the 2022 summer flight schedule is in effect",
says a confident
Julian Jäger, Member of the Management Board of Flughafen Wien
AG.
January to September 2021: 6.8 million passengers at Vienna Airport
From January to September 2021, the Flughafen Wien Group including the foreign

188,177 tonnes (-9.5% vs. Q1-3/2019). Malta Airport registered a 0.6% decrease
in passenger volume in Q1-3/2021 to 1,541,412 travellers (-72.7% from Q1-3/
2019). Kosice Airport handled 115.799 passengers in the same period, up 36.9%
year-on-year due to an airport shutdown related to the coronavirus pandemic (-
75.4% vs. Q1-3/2019).
Q1-3/2021: Revenue of EUR 274.5 million (- 0.9%) and net profit of minus EUR 0.1
million
Revenue of the Flughafen Wien Group in Q1-3/2021 amounted to EUR 274.5 million,
comprising a minimal decrease of 0.9% and thus essentially corresponding to the
prior-year level. EBITDA was up 71.1% year-on-year to EUR 106.6 million, whereas
EBIT rose to EUR 6.9 million. The net profit for the period before non-
controlling interests in Q1-3/2021 was only slightly negative, equalling minus
EUR 0.1 million. The net debt of the company declined to EUR 201.5 million (31
December 2020: EUR 201.9 million). The free cash flow in Q1-3/2021 amounted to
EUR 21.4 million (Q1-3/2020: minus EUR 65.3 million).
Revenue and earnings development of the segments
Q1-3/2021 revenue of the Airport Segment fell marginally by 1.7% year-on-year to
EUR 113.5 million. Segment EBIT improved to minus EUR 14.3 million. The Handling
and Security Services Segment registered a decrease in revenue of 7.1% to EUR
63.8 million, with the segment's EBIT improving to minus EUR 6,8 million. This
segment also includes the security services of VIAS as well as the handling
services provided by Vienna Aircraft Handling (VAH) and Vienna Passenger
Handling Services (VPHS). The Retail & Properties Segment reported a drop in
revenue of 4.7% in Q1-3/2021 to EUR 55.5 million. EBIT of this segment improved
to EUR 20.1 million. Revenue of the Malta Segment was up 29.2% in Q1-3/2021 to
EUR 32.3 million, whereas segment EBIT totalled EUR 6.0 million. Revenue of the
Other Segments totalled EUR 9.4 million in Q1-3/2021 and segment EBIT amounted
to EUR 2.0 million.
Investments
Total investments in the first nine months of 2021 amounted to EUR 30.3 million.
The largest investments of EUR 1.9 million related to Terminal 2, along with EUR
2.0 million for purchasing catering trucks, EUR 2.4 million for constructing a
third baggage handling line, EUR 5.6 million for photovoltaic facilities and EUR
1.8 million for an access control and door control system. A total of EUR 6.1
million was invested at Malta Airport in Q1-3/2021.
Guidance confirmed for 2021
Due to the positive passenger development in recent months, the expected
passenger volume of the Flughafen Wien Group in the entire 2021 financial year
is expected to be approx. 12-13 million travellers, with Vienna Airport
accounting for more than ten million passengers. The Flughafen Wien AG operates
on a sound economic basis and assumes it will end the year 2021 with positive
business results of EUR 4 million. On the one hand, this can be attributed to
considerable cost savings such as lower expenses for incentives, a decline in
maintenance costs and a reduction in personnel expenses. On the other hand, this
development relates to passenger volumes surpassing forecasts as well as higher
government grants in connection with the extension of short-time work until the
end of 2021, state aid related to COVID-19 (in part also applying to the loss-
making year 2020) and additional income from real estate transactions. Revenue
is expected to amount to approx. EUR 380 million in 2021, whereas EBITDA is
anticipated to equal about EUR 150 million. Following an increase in the
previous year, the net debt of the company is forecast to decline once again to
about EUR 100 million. Investments will total approx. EUR 60 million. However,
there remains a degree of uncertainty regarding the guidance for 2021 due to the
difficulty in predicting the further development of the pandemic.
Traffic results in October 2021: Upward trend also continues after the summer
season
Flughafen Wien Group: 2,020,853 passengers in October 2021
The upward trend with respect to the development of passenger volumes is also
continuing after the summer months. In October 2021, the number of passengers
handled by the Flughafen Wien Group (Vienna Airport, Malta Airport, Kosice
Airport) equalled 2,020,853 travellers, more than four times the comparable
figure for October 2020. However, this still comprised a drop of 43.7% from the
pre-crisis level of October 2019.
Vienna Airport: Quadrupling of passenger volume in July 2021 to 1.573.155
passengers

was more than four times higher than in the crisis month of October 2020, rising
