1) See note 19, Provision for formal expropriations plus sound insulation and resident protection.
The net finance result of Flughafen Zürich AG amounted to CHF –18.3 million in the reporting period (2016: CHF –17.4 million).
A debenture that matured in May 2017 was refinanced on much more favourable terms, saving CHF 2.4 million in interest year on year.
On the other hand, the finance result for the past financial year reflects additional expenses of around CHF 1.2 million due to the first-time consolidation of the subsidiaries in Latin America. Of this amount, CHF 0.4 million are cash items.
Whereas the unwinding of the discount on provisions for formal expropriations plus sound insulation and resident protection resulted in income of CHF 1.1 million in the previous year, an expense of CHF 1.4 million was recognised in the reporting period.
