The Extraordinary General Shareholders' Meeting approved the appointment of the new Abertis's Board of Directors on 10 December 2018. The Group thus embarked on a new period with the impulse of its three new shareholders, Atlantia, ACS and Hochtief, to continue growing and developing a global leadership project in the infrastructure field. From now on, Abertis’ new management will work on a strategic revision process of the company to identify improvement areas and synergies, in order to continue creating value and taking advantage as well of the international presence and market knowledge of the new shareholders. This new phase will be oriented to growth, yet without overlooking the financial discipline for which the Group is renowned. The company will reinforce its growth strategy in countries with stable frameworks for concessions and a clear commitment to developing public-private partnerships in the toll road sector. SOLID FIGURES In 2018, the traffic on the Group's toll road network continued its positive trend, with a particular increase in Spain and France. There was also a recovery in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria ravaged the island in 2017. Chile and India also reported remarkably positive growth this year. Abertis's results have been improved in 2018, with a €1,682 Mn net profit (+87% comparing to 2017). This result has been boosted mostly by the impact of the €605 million of capital gains obtained after the sale of 34% stake of Cellnex Telecom. Without this effect, the net profit grows 15% on a like-for-like basis. As a world reference in the toll road management industry, road safety is a priority for Abertis. In this regard, the Group posted improvements during 2018 in terms of accident rate (-6% versus the previous year) and fatality (-10%). There was also a salient decrease in the number of road accident deaths (-8.7%). This all stemmed from the extensive efforts to improve prevention and safety in all the countries. AGREEMENTS WITH GOVERNMENTS In 2018, Abertis continued furthering its growth strategy based on existing assets. During the year, the Group closed two agreements with the government of Argentina Presentation | INTEGRATED ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Abertis Abertis’ new management will work on a strategic revision process of the company to identify improvement areas and synergies, in order to continue creating value” to extend the concession for its subsidiaries Autopista del Sol (Ausol) and Grupo Concesionario del Oeste (GCO), in exchange for a global investment plan that will be financed with the future revenues thanks to the extension of the contracts. Also the subsidiary VíasChile reached an agreement with the Chilean government to carry out further investments in Autopista del Sol (Route 78) in exchange for an almost two-year extension in the duration of the concession. The extensive investment plan in view aims to not only resolve problems caused by the increase in traffic over recent years but also improve traffic flow and road safety. For Abertis, the closing of these deals means reinforcing its commitment to public- private partnerships with a view to providing solutions that create value for the future in the regions where Abertis has a presence through agreements with the public administrations to engage in new investments by extending concessions or improving tariffs. Doing so also demonstrates the Group's ability to continue growing its current asset portfolio and to extend the average duration of its concessions. SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT In line with its committment to support the principles of the Global Compact over a decade now, Abertis has publicly and formally renewed its commitment to achieve the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (2030 Agenda). It is worth noting the organisation's contribution to achieving Goals 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure) and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) through Road Safety and Road Tech strategic programmes that coordinate innovations in road safety and infrastructures for a more sustainable mobility. The Group also continued working on deploying the Corporate Social Responsibility Master Plan and achieving the objectives and goals established in all countries in 2018. Abertis is one of the world's leading toll road operators in terms of kilometres managed, with nearly 8,200 kilometres of high-capacity roads, and operations in 15 countries across Europe, America and Asia.

Simply, the near-term issues revolve around two factors: (a) potential index inclusion; and, (b) NTS economics.

Longer-term, we continue to believe the fundamental organic growth story is not appreciated versus BIP's historical M&A bias. ■ Index inclusion: With the S&P/TSX undergoing a consultation process for selected index criteria, the potential inclusion of BIP in the Composite is likely to have a meaningful impact on unit demand around the Q3 index revision. At that time, BIP would look to join the other Brookfield siblings (namely Brookfield Renewable and Brookfield Properties) in the Composite as a top 40 float weighted name which creates a tactical trade.

  • PB 20-02 -- Leasing the Turnpike.Pub
    Commonwealth Vol. 20, No. 02 POLICY BRIEF May 2008 Leasing the Pennsylvania Turnpike Frequently Asked Questions & Answers COMMONWEALTH FOUNDATION & REASON FOUNDATION 1. Does Pennsylvania need more money for its roads, highways, bridges and mass transit systems? The Pennsylvania Transportation Funding and Reform Commission (November 2006 report) identified the need for an increase of $1.7 billion in annual funding simply to maintain the state’s current transportation infrastructure. The bi-partisan commission recommended an increase of: $965 million for roads, highways, and bridges. $760 million for mass transit. 2. Didn’t Act 44 of 2007—which will impose new tolls on the currently free Interstate-80—solve our transportation funding problem? Act 44 provides less than half the funding needed for roads, highways, and bridges, according to the Penn- sylvania Transportation Funding and Reform Commission report. $450 million for roads, highways, and bridges in FY 2007-08. $300 million for mass transit in FY 2007-08. Act 44 provides an average of only $946 million over the next 10 years and does not reach $1.7 billion un- til 2036. Furthermore, Act 44 funding increases are also unlikely to keep pace with inflation and are depend- ent on federal approval for tolling I-80, which has not been granted by the Federal Highway Administration. 3. What if the Federal Highway Administration rejects Pennsylvania’s application to toll I-80? Act 44 will generate only $450 million annually if the Federal Highway Administration does not approve the tolling of I-80. $200 million for roads, highways, and bridges—only one-fifth the identified need of $965 million.

  • Abertis Infraestructuras, Sa1
    1 ABERTIS INFRAESTRUCTURAS, SA 1. INTRODUCTION Abertis is one of the most important groups worldwide in the industry of managing toll roads. It was set up in 2003 after the merger of two Spanish companies: Acesa and Áurea. Nowadays, 8,500 kilometers of high capacity roads are managed by this public limited corporation. Thanks to its internationalization strategy, Abertis operates in 14 countries, being leader in some of them. This has resulted into geographic risk diversification leading to a stable company capable of getting over different business cycles. Sanef (France) and Arteris (Brazil) are some of the many subsidiaries that compose the Abertis group of companies. In addition, it does not only manage toll roads but it also has entered in the communication satellites industry (TDT) by being one of the main shareholders of Hispasat (57.05%) and Cellnex Telecom (34%). Both, Abertis and Cellnex, are listed in the Spanish Stock Exchange and are part of the IBEX 35 index. Acesa, one of the companies that took part in the merger, was established in 1967 and inaugurated the first Spanish toll motorway in 1969 between Montgat and Mataró. From here on, they began the expansion around Spain by building additional stretches between different regions such as El Vendrell - Zaragoza or La Jonquera - Salou, among others. On March 2002, Acesa made a take over bid in order to break the merger process between Iberpistas and Áurea (Dragados' subsidiary). This strategy aimed to be able to compete at at European level. However, Áurea made a counteroffer starting an offer war which finally lead to the merger of both, Acesa and Áurea.
