Julie Lam Acting Chief Financial Officer June 25, 2020 Board of Port Commissioner of the City of Oakland Oakland, California Cestra Butner, President Andreas Cluver, First Vice President Barbara Leslie, Second Vice President Michael Colbruno, Commissioner Yui Hay Lee, Commissioner Arabella Martinez, Commissioner Joan Story, Commissioner Subject: Adopted Operating and Capital Budgets for Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 2021 Dear Board of Port Commissioners: On behalf of Port staff, I am pleased to provide this Budget Summary, which contains the Port’s: . One-year operating budget for fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 . One-year capital budget for fiscal year ended June 30, 2021 . Five-year operating forecast for FY 2021 through FY 2025 . Five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY 2021 through FY 2025, and . Other related information such as the Port’s staffing plan, division-specific operating budgets, debt service payments, cash flow projections, reserve amounts, and capital project descriptions. The FY 2021 operating and capital budgets were adopted by the Board on June 25, 2020. Subsequent years of the operating and cash flow projections and the 5-Year CIP are informational and presented for planning purposes only. Overview Budget Objectives The Port’s operating and capital budgets were developed to (a) support long-term financial strength, resiliency and sustainability, (b) address near-term operational and financial challenges due to COVID-19 including maintaining reasonable flexibility and liquidity to protect against inherent on-going operational, financial, political and economic uncertainties, and (c) strategically identify, prioritize and plan major capital i projects with a focus on health, safety, regulatory compliance, and on-going or imminent revenue generating projects. Key financial objectives include: Improve operating margin across all three revenue divisions Control Airport Cost per Enplanement (CPE) Project minimum Bond Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.40x Project minimum June 30, 2021 General Fund balance of $150 million Maintain Board reserves, consistent with Port policy of approximately $74.4 million Maintain discipline of paying down outstanding commercial paper notes Key Factors The FY 2021 operating and capital budgets were developed taking into account several key factors, as well as updated 5-year operating and cash flow projections and an updated 5-year CIP. Positive Factors The Port’s strong liquidity position comprised of both unrestricted cash and port reserves remains strong, provides the Port the financial flexibility to adapt and respond to on-going COVID-19 related operational and financial challenges, and potential impacts of a second wave in the fall of 2020. Port operations are supported by a strong and diverse local economy. Historically, this favorable geographic position results in approximately 84% of the Airport traffic being origin and destination and approximately 85% of the maritime cargo destined for and from local markets. The Bay Area remains an important center of commerce, and the Port remains an important, key gateway for both domestic and international trade and a top travel destination. The consolidated nature of the Port’s three major lines of business is proven again to be a source of financial stability. Even in the midst of these very challenging and unprecedented times, particularly at the Airport, the Port projects to end FY 2021 at a stable 1.40x debt service coverage ratio increasing to 1.84x by FY 2025. Approximately $19 million in CARES Act grants will be strategically applied in FY 2021 to reimburse the Port for eligible bond debt service payments and operating expenses. The Port plans to apply the remaining $25 million of CARES Act grants in substantially equal amounts in FY 2022 and FY 2023 to pay debt service. Use of such funds will allow the Port to strengthen its financial position and remain financially resilient in the face of a slow, prolonged economic recovery. In FY 2021, the Airport’s cost per enplanement (CPE) is the lowest of the three major gateway airports in the Bay Area making operating at OAK an attractive option to air carriers. Having a diversified cargo and passenger carrier business means the Airport is better positioned than most airports to withstand losses in passenger carrier operations which is the segment most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the associated restrictions put forward by local and state governments to slow the spread of the disease. Domestic travel is expected to recover at a much higher pace than international travel which bodes well for the Airport. Southwest Airlines operates the most flights at the Airport and its
