INTERIM REPORT OF COPENHAGEN AIRPORTS A/S (CPH) FOR THE PERIOD
1 JANUARY – 30 SEPTEMBER 2023
The Board of Directors has today approved the interim report for the period 1 January – 30 September 2023.
HIGHLIGHTS
The total number of passengers at Copenhagen Airports was 20.3 million in the first nine months of
2023, an increase of 3.9 million compared with the first nine months of 2022. The number of locally
departing passengers was 8.3 million (up 20% from last year), 10.2 million were arriving passengers
(up 24% from last year), and 1.8 million were departing transfer passengers (up 44% from last year).
Revenue amounted to DKK 3,064 million (YTD 2022: DKK 2,621 million), an increase of 17%
compared with the first nine months of 2022 driven by higher passenger numbers.
EBITDA amounted to DKK 1,370 million (YTD 2022: DKK 1,071 million), up by DKK 299 million
compared with last year.
EBIT was DKK 615 million (YTD 2022: DKK 338 million), an improvement of DKK 277 million.
Net financing costs amounted to DKK 200 million, which was DKK 86 million higher than for the same
period of 2022 mainly due to higher interest rates.
Profit before tax amounted to DKK 408 million (YTD 2022: DKK 221 million), an increase of DKK 187
million.
Capital investments amounted to DKK 907 million in the first nine months of 2023 (YTD 2022: DKK
700 million). Investments included the ongoing expansion of Terminal 3, improvements to runways
and stands, security facilities, various IT systems, as well as miscellaneous reinvestments.
Interim report – 1 January – 30 September 2023
Copenhagen Airports A/S Page 4 of 20
OUTLOOK FOR 2023
Management has updated its expectations for the remainder of 2023, as a result of the continued growth and
expectation for passenger numbers for the remaining part of the year.
Outlook for revenue growth
Based on current trajectories for passenger growth, management expects passenger levels at approximately
26.5 million for the full year 2023 (previous expectation: 26 million). Expectations for growth in traffic revenue
has thus been updated to 16% (previously 13%) for the full year 2023.
The updated outlook remains uncertain in respect of the current geopolitical landscape and macroeconomic
factors such as the higher interest rate levels, potential volatile energy prices, and effects from the period of
high inflation. A worsening of these factors could affect travel sentiment and CPH’s financial outlook negatively.
Outlook for profit before tax
Based on passenger level expectations, a profit before tax of DKK 350 million to DKK 400 million is expected
(previously DKK 300-350 million). The costs of passenger related activities and regulatory requirements are
as expected in previous outlooks higher in 2023 than in 2022.
Outlook for capital investments
Investment level including capitalized interest is updated to be around DKK 1.3 billion (previously DKK 1.6
billion). The expansion of Terminal 3 is expected to account for about half of the investment level for 2023
whilst the remaining part constitutes projects in relation to capacity, safety, security, and compliance.
Dividend
There will be no dividend payment in 2023 as a consequence of commitment towards lenders in waiver
agreements.

MANAGEMENT’S FINANCIAL REVIEW
PERFORMANCE – Q3 2023
Passenger numbers for the first nine months of
2023 reached a total of 20.3 million, which was an
increase of 3.9 million (24%) on the same period of
2022. Appetite for travel is expected to continue
throughout the year.
Revenue for the first nine months of 2023
amounted to DKK 3,064 million, a 17% increase
compared with the same period of 2022.
Aeronautical revenue amounted to DKK 1,659
million, an increase of DKK 278 million compared
with the first nine months of 2022. This was mainly
due to the increase in passenger numbers realised
over the summer period.
Non-aeronautical revenue increased by DKK 165
million to DKK 1,405 million, a 13% improvement
on the same period of 2022.
Operating costs including depreciation and
amortisation amounted to DKK 2,449 million, an
increase of DKK 166 million compared with last
year that was mainly due to higher activity levels.
Staff costs increased by DKK 162 million primarily
due to salary adjustments in Q1 as well as an
increase in staff headcount. External costs were
down by DKK 22 million compared to the same
period last year, due to a combination of lower
energy costs and increased operating and
maintenance costs resulting from the increased
activity levels. Depreciation and amortisation
charges were up by DKK 21 million.
EBITDA was a profit of DKK 1,370 million, an
increase of DKK 299 million compared with the first
nine months of 2022. The improvement was mainly
driven by the higher level of activity.
Net financing costs amounted to DKK 200 million,
an increase of DKK 86 million, which was primarily
due to the higher level of interest rates relative to
last year.
Profit before tax amounted to DKK 408 million, an
improvement of DKK 187 million compared to the
first nine months of 2022.

OTHER ITEMS IN THE INCOME
STATEMENT
Net financing costs
Net financing costs were DKK 86 million higher
than in the same period of 2022. The main reason
was the higher level of interest rates compared with
last year.
Capitalised interest on assets under construction
increased by DKK 21 million due to the higher
investment level and the higher level of interest
rates.
Tax on profit for the period
Tax on profit/(loss) for the period is recognised
based on a current estimate of actual taxes for the
period.
CASH FLOW STATEMENT
Cash flow from operating activities
The cash flow from operating activities decreased
by DKK 72 million relative to the same period last
year.
The change was due to a combination of higher
cash outflows in respect of net interest expenses
including refinancing costs (DKK 169 million), and
higher net cash inflows from the increased
revenue.
Cash flow from investing activities
Cash flow from investing activities primarily related
to investments in property, plant and equipment
and intangible assets.
Major investments made during the first nine
months of 2023 included the expansion of Terminal
3, improvements to runways and stands,
improvements of security facilities, various IT
systems, as well as miscellaneous improvements
and asset investments.
Cash flow from financing activities
Cash flow from financing activities related to net
drawings on credit facilities and amortisation of
loans.
Cash and cash equivalents
CPH had cash and cash equivalents of DKK 75
million at 30 September 2023 (30 September 2022:
DKK 231 million).

NON-AERONAUTICAL BUSINESS AREA
Revenue
Concession revenue
Concession revenue from the shopping centre
amounted to DKK 609 million for the first nine
months of 2023, an increase of DKK 122 million
compared with the same period of last year and
driven primarily by the increase in passenger
numbers.
The increase in passenger numbers was the
primary driver for the increase in parking revenue.
Parking revenue for the first nine months of 2023
was DKK 41 million over last year.
Other revenue amounted to DKK 50 million, an
increase of DKK 5 million compared with last year,
mainly due to an increase in revenue from
advertising.
Rent
Total rent amounted to DKK 149 million, a 10%
increase compared with last year.
Sales of services, etc.
Revenue from the hotel operation increased by
DKK 2 million.
The category Other includes PRM (Persons with
Reduced Mobility), TMS (Taxa Management
System) and CPH’s leaseholders’ share of energy
costs. Other revenue decreased by DKK 18 million
compared to last year. The decrease is primarily a
result of lower energy costs resulting in lower
reinvoicing to CPH’s leaseholders. This was partly
offset by a higher number of PRM handlings. The
costs of these activities are carried by CPH and re-
invoiced to customers. These activities are all non-
profit for CPH.
Profit/(loss) before interest and tax (Non-
aeronautical EBIT)
Non-aeronautical EBIT improved by DKK 16 million
compared with the same period of last year. The
increase was primarily due to the higher activity
levels in 2023.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: Basis of preparation
CPH is a public limited company domiciled in Denmark and listed on Nasdaq Copenhagen.
The interim report comprises the condensed consolidated financial statements of Copenhagen Airports A/S.
The interim report is presented in accordance with international accounting standard IAS 34 Interim Financial
Reporting and additional Danish disclosure requirements applying to interim reports of listed companies.
Significant accounting estimates
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management makes various accounting estimates and
assumptions that form the basis of the presentation, recognition, and measurement of CPH’s assets and
liabilities.
The estimates made by CPH in determining the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities are based on
estimates and assumptions that are subject to future events. These include estimates of the useful lives of
property, plant and equipment, and their residual values. Estimates and underlying assumptions are based on
historical data and factors that management considers relevant under the given circumstances. These
assumptions may have to be revised, and unexpected events or circumstances may occur. For a description
of risks and accounting estimates, and for a list of the notes that contain significant estimates and judgments,
see page 65-67 and 84 respectively of the 2022 Annual Report.
Accounting policies
The accounting policies applied in the interim report are unchanged from those applied in the 2022 Annual
Report except as set out below. The 2022 Annual Report was prepared in accordance with International
Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU. For further information, see page 84 of the 2022
Annual Report, which indicates which notes contain accounting policies, and the summary of significant
accounting policies on pages 85-86.
Change in accounting policies
As of 1 January 2023, CPH adopted all relevant new or revised International Financial Reporting Standards
and IFRIC Interpretations with effective date 1 January 2023 or earlier. The new or revised standards and
interpretations did not materially affect recognition and measurement, nor did they result in any material
changes to disclosures in the notes.
NOTE 2: Property, plant and equipment
Investment in and sale of property, plant and equipment
In the first nine months of 2023, CPH invested DKK 907 million in intangible assets and property, plant and
equipment. Major investments made during the first nine months of 2023 include the expansion of Terminal 3,
improvements of runways and stands, improvements of security facilities, various IT systems as well as
miscellaneous improvements and asset investments.
Contracts and other commitments
As of 30 September 2023, CPH had entered into contracts to build and maintain facilities at a total value of
DKK 1,540 million (31 December 2022: DKK 1,857 million) and other commitments amounting to DKK 96
million (31 December 2022: DKK 82 million). Major commitments include contracts for the development of
Terminal 3 and asset systems.
NOTE 3: Financial institutions
Refinancing
In August, new credit facilities consisting of DKK 4.6 billion in bank facilities and DKK 2.4 billion in secured
mortgage loans replaced the maturing USPP bond loan of USD 160 million and bank facilities of DKK 6 billion.
As of end of September 2023, CPH had undrawn committed long-term credit facilities of DKK 3,681 million
(2022: DKK 3,832 million).
