One-year operating budget for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022; . One-year capital budget for fiscal year ending June 30, 2022; . Five-year operating forecast for FY 2022 through FY 2026; . Five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY 2022 through FY 2026; 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 2022 operating and capital budgets were adopted by the Board on June 24, 2021. Subsequent years of 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 (COVID) including maintaining reasonable flexibility and liquidity to protect against operational, financial, political and economic uncertainties, and (c) strategically identify, prioritize and plan major capital projects with a focus on regulatory compliance, health, safety, and on-going or imminent revenue generating projects. Key financial objectives include: i Improve operating margin across all revenue divisions; Control Airport Cost per Enplanement (CPE); Project minimum Intermediate Lien Bond Debt Service Coverage Ratio of 1.40x; Project minimum June 30, 2022 General Fund ending balance that, when combined with Board reserves, are sufficient to fund operating expense in the succeeding fiscal year; Maintain Board reserves, consistent with Port policy of approximately $77.0 million; and Maintain discipline of paying down outstanding commercial paper notes. KEY FACTORS The FY 2022 operating and capital budgets were developed taking into account several key factors highlighted below, 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 Board reserves remains strong and provides the Port the financial flexibility to adapt and respond to COVID and other future operational and financial challenges. Port operations are supported by a strong and diverse local economy. Historically, this favorable geographic location 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, diversified nature of the Port’s major lines of business has proven again to be a source of financial stability. In FY 2021, anticipated Maritime and Utilities revenues are better than budget and offset worse than budgeted Aviation and Commercial Real Estate (CRE) anticipated revenues. The expectation for FY 2022 is for Maritime revenues to remain resilient while Aviation and CRE revenues improve from anticipated FY 2021 levels. In the midst of these very challenging and unprecedented times, particularly at the Airport, the Port projects to end FY 2022 at a stable 1.81x Intermediate Lien debt service coverage ratio increasing to 2.42x by FY 2026. Driving these debt service coverage increases are (a) the debt service savings generated from the two bond refunding transactions executed in FY 2021, (b) projected revenue recovery at the Airport, and (c) the application of airport specific Federal aid to pay portions of operating expenses and debt service coming due in the next four fiscal years. Approximately $27.9 million in Federal aid (CARES, CRRSA and ARP Act) grants will be strategically applied in FY 2022 to reimburse the Airport for eligible bond debt service payments, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. The Port plans to apply the balance of the funds in FY 2023 through FY 2025 to pay additional debt service, operating expenses and fund eligible capital expenditures. Use of such funds will allow the Port to strengthen its financial position by replenishing its cash balance and remaining financially
