The operator expects its EBITDA to bounce back to at least pre-pandemic 2019 levels as early as this year, which is a year ahead of its earlier projections.

Net debt remained at €7.44bn at the end of December last year, which is 4.4 times its EBITDA, versus €8.01bn in 2021. 

The firm’s 2023 outlook projects passenger volume to reach 95-105% of pre-pandemic levels.

Groupe ADP chairman and CEO Augustin de Romanet said: “Groupe ADP returns to a solid net result, at €516m, leading to propose to the General Meeting a €3.13 dividend per share, equivalent to a payout of 60% of the net result attributable to the group. 

“All the 2022 targets have been met or exceeded. Based on an adjusted financial trajectory for the 2023-2025 period, Groupe ADP confirms its commitment to continue deleveraging its balance sheet, targeting a net debt to EBITDA ratio lowered again to 3.5x to 4.5x EBITDA in 2025 (the previous target was 4.5x to 5.0x EBITDA), including selective international growth projects.”
