With this, I’ll hand it over to Ernesto. Ernesto, the ground is yours.
Ernesto Lopez Mozo
Thanks, Sylvia, and hiya, everyone. Beginning with the highlights of this primary six months of the yr. The site visitors in toll roads has been sturdy with good progress and a a lot stronger income progress, specifically within the U.S. property, within the managed lanes. Within the 407ETR, we noticed a steady restoration that’s encouraging as effectively. Concerning airports, we have seen internationally, but in addition in our portfolio, sturdy site visitors restoration. Concerning development, the inflationary strain has been mitigated by Lively administration. Additionally, we have been concerned in M&A transactions. The primary one is the monetary shut of the brand new Terminal 1 terminal, the terminal one at JFK Airport. And right here it’s outstanding that in a scenario the place you see a couple of offers going forward, this one bought profitable financing with a variety of oversubscription. Within the Dalaman Worldwide Airport, we additionally achieved the completion of this 60% acquisition. Providers divestment is ongoing. I have to remind you that that is just about full. I imply we have now Amey and a small Chilean enterprise nonetheless on the market. These processes are ongoing.
When it comes to the money place, we have now a strong €1.5 billion internet money place ex infrastructure initiatives. And that is primarily based — I imply, the consumption within the quarter has been primarily based in some fascinating and, I’d say, value-creating alternatives just like the I-66 fairness injection and likewise by shareholder remuneration that has been accelerated. So we have carried out extra buybacks, and we have now had money dividends. When it comes to development, we have now money out from U.S. development initiatives as anticipated. From a [IUC] standpoint, I imply, we stay with all of the dedication to a full disclosure of the totally different KPIs. We measure in all probability extra issues than different firms within the sector. I imply, specifically, with the water footprint and affect. And naturally, we measure our achievements by way of CO2 discount. I imply a very powerful factor might be not been in these indices and awards, but in addition that the corporate is transferring to ship infrastructure that’s wanted and on essentially the most sustainable means with design and likewise with site visitors fashions that keep away from site visitors jams and congestion and likewise in airports with a spotlight led by Heathrow by way of sustainable aviation gas.
If we transfer on to the subsequent slide to begin reviewing the efficiency of the totally different companies, we begin with toll roads the place we see sturdy progress in U.S. property, as I discussed within the introduction. I imply the street division goes — is rising greater than 30% in revenues and EBITDA vis-a-vis final yr with strong EBITDA margins. However specifically, within the U.S., we’re having a income progress near 50% and likewise EBITDA progress simply above that market. We noticed dividends from the managed lanes, NTE and LBJ these first six months of the yr. Concerning new investments, as I discussed for worth creation, the I-66 within the introduction, we’re wanting ahead to opening this street, in all probability I have to remind folks or possibly somebody didn’t even know of the configuration of this street. I imply, we’re remodeling the present three normal objective lanes into two normal objective lanes and two managed lanes, proper? So the stability, I believe, might be extra fascinating than in different roads by way of capability addition.
When it comes to the NTE35W was the section 3C can also be advancing at very quick velocity. I imply, we’re accelerating manufacturing. Now after all, these works are affecting the site visitors as a result of we are actually connecting the extra managed lanes to the present ones within the last a part of the development and this brings site visitors jams, and we have now some site visitors that’s now making an attempt to keep away from that problem. That problem might be momentary, and we’re wanting ahead to opening one other incredible asset. If we transfer on to the 407ETR, right here, we have now progress visibility in 2021 of greater than 50%. We additionally had increased income per journey versus the primary half of 2021, and this was helped by the longer common journey size. When it comes to our monetary place, the 407 enjoys a variety of liquidity, it has money and equivalents of greater than CAD450 million and undrawn credit score amenities of CAD800 million. There is no vital debt maturities forward. And effectively, with the type of efficiency we’re seeing on this liquidity, it will be pure to see extra dividends within the coming months of the yr. We already had on the July Board assembly CAD200 million dividend authorized. In order I stated, this efficiency and strong monetary place ought to enable for some additional dividends this yr.
If we transfer on to the subsequent slide, we will see a little bit bit extra element of the site visitors evolution within the 407. We see that it has been progressively closing into the 2019 ranges. After all, in all probability the June stage was flattered by calendar results. I imply there have been two extra workdays in 2022 vis-a-vis 2019. That is the rationale why we confirmed this minus 16%. In any case, all this enchancment is finished with nonetheless lots of people working from dwelling. I imply we see the low return to the workplace on the graph on the right-hand facet of the slide. I imply, 27% is kind of low. I imply we should do not forget that that is voluntary in the meanwhile. And while you survey totally different workers within the area and doubtless around the globe, employers are extra in favor of being on the workplace for good interplay and actually working from house is a little bit bit extra of awkward. After all, workers are on the opposite facet of the spectrum. However a very long time, we see one in all that is sure, however clearly, from for instance, productive and tradition standpoint, employers choose to have extra presence within the workplace. As I stated, that is voluntary in the meanwhile.
Okay. So if we transfer on to the subsequent slide, we at all times wish to remind buyers concerning the prospects of the areas we function in as a result of I imply the long-term efficiency of the asset can also be primarily based on the expansion within the areas and the necessity to be used of the infrastructure, proper? So once we look into the totally different information concerning the NTTA, we see that, I imply, the expectation for actual GDP progress and employment for 2022 are there and higher than in different areas on the planet. And specifically, across the 407, we have now a really exhausting market by way of industrial actual property, and it’s rising. So the extra companies which can be situated alongside the 407 and the extra we see our cities develop, the higher efficiency that we’ll see sooner or later from this asset, proper? So it is good to remind everyone concerning the long-term drivers of worth.
If we transfer on to the subsequent slide, we will evaluation the site visitors and efficiency of the managed lease in Dallas Fort Value. And right here, we see that site visitors has been superb on this quarter in comparison with the primary quarter of the yr. After all, the primary a part of the quarter was very good. Now it is a little bit bit softer by way of catching up with our rising versus 2019. I imply in all probability we see the buyer confidence in the entire of the U.S. at a really low stage. So persons are type of getting ready for a slowdown. In any case, I imply, we see the nation actually as dynamic and doubtless recovering shortly on of any downturn that would have an effect on the financial system.
Okay. So by way of the efficiency in revenues and EBITDA, we will see that there is strong progress, a lot increased in revenues than in transactions or site visitors. This, after all, has been helped by inflation there that allowed to place the cap 7% increased, the mushy cap. However after all, additionally, Paris administration has allowed for additional will increase that carry increased revenues. Additionally, the proportion of heavies is a tailwind within the case of 35 West specifically. So I imply very spectacular progress from these property.
I imply if we go to the next slide, we see the graph by way of site visitors and revenues, we see that every one revenues in all these property, additionally the I-77 that I’ll cowl in a second, are rising loads vis-a-vis, I imply, the beginning of the pandemic and previous to the pandemic. We see some form of slowdown in site visitors in 3C and to know this in all probability is healthier to seek advice from the snapshot on the prior slide the place you’ll be able to see actually the congestion on a number of the lanes simply because we’re interacting now with the connections on this street. So if we transfer on to the subsequent slide, once more, the identical as with Toronto, we like to focus on the expansion prospects of the realm. After which Dallas in all probability actually stands out within the U.S. and different cities in Texas as effectively. So in all probability the state has type of been a magnet for the expansion funding quarters relocation. And that’s in fine condition and anticipated to proceed to progress in inhabitants and unemployment alongside time. So we refer a number of the indications from the labor statistics or the Bureau of financial evaluation that may provide help to perceive the drivers of the long-term progress right here.
If we transfer into the subsequent slide the place I cowl the I-77, this one can also be rising. The area is rising. And possibly right here the very best a part of the slide is the snapshot the place we see one of many toll charges. And clearly, that is under Dallas Fort Value. I am not implying that it might meet up with Dallas Fort Value, however I imply, there’s undoubtedly room for progress right here and dimension — the realm can also be rising, inhabitants is rising, and employment is rising within the space. So additionally a really strong efficiency from this asset. Properly, if we transfer into the airport house now, and we have a look at Heathrow, I imply, everyone is conscious of the site visitors restoration. I imply the passengers reached 26 million stage. And effectively, Heathrow additionally launched the investor report or they have been forecasting north of 54 million passengers for the yr. Heathrow has been getting ready for these, for instance, return to full capability, hiring safety officers upfront that began in November, finish of July is on the similar capability or variety of workers in safety that it had in 2019 earlier than the pandemic, proper? After all, I imply, the bottleneck is now extra in floor dealing with and floor dealing with is under the extent that the present circulation is required. That is the rationale why Heathrow with airways has agreed on a cap for 100,000 departing passengers per day in comparison with in all probability a capability of 103,000 within the pandemic. And everyone is working to attempt to ship extra capability. And as I stated, Heathrow had warned of this and likewise of the curbs which can be wanted to ship this, okay? So the precedence stays to serve the shoppers, have them flying and with their luggage. So I imply on the finish of September, in all probability they are going to be in a extra full scenario. We now have to see how airways get well the present dealing with capability.
When it comes to regulation, I imply, I should be fairly blunt right here. I imply, we’re disenchanted with the H7 last proposal from the CAA. We consider they don’t mirror the chance profile. So Heathrow now could be going to, I imply, submit, I imply, the modifications to their proposals. I imply, a few of them are on assumptions that have been unevidenced or inappropriate by way of OpEx. And I imply that individual instance is the OpEx wanted for the present scenario. Additionally, their service in monetary modeling and business revenues forecasting. I imply some revenues are forecasted to occur when the legislation would not enable them to occur, proper? So this sort of factor ought to be corrected and naturally, evaluation the method to value of fairness and a market-based method. I imply we should always hope that the CAA corrects errors a giant one which possibly hit on discover. However I imply, ‘the CAA has acknowledged that there was extra danger within the airport that was thought of and prior regulatory supplies, and they’re proposing a site visitors resharing mechanism to forestall that. And okay, we favor that type of factor to the chance the asset and never, after all, that they arrive with a further discount on the allowed return on the chance with site visitors resharing mechanism. So it is a little bit bit discouraging to see that they do not make up for errors of the previous. And in the long run, within the curiosity of shoppers is to ship all these terminals, Terminal 5, Terminal 2, the built-in baggage. I imply all this comes with very excessive investments and with the expectation of restoration of those investments, proper? So altering the principles of the sport and making them not recoverable is one thing that’s fairly powerful.
As I stated, I imply, the proposals got here within the completely low vary of the — low a part of the vary and never near the center. And with no, for instance, a restatement or regulatory asset-based restatement. Ultimately, the asset has been depreciated with out utilization. That is equal to writing it up. And the airport can be given the chance. Perhaps long run, it would not must be straight away of recovering that funding. In order I stated, it is fairly disappointing that regulator got here thus far. When it comes to different airports, we will transfer on to Aberdeen, Glasgow, and Southampton. And right here, once more, we see the sturdy site visitors restoration. And the COVID-19 affect was fairly sturdy originally of the yr, however it has been recovering and now it is in a lot better form. If we glance to different property, I imply, we closed the Dalaman acquisition. And right here, the income may be very near the 2019 ranges, I imply, it is solely 4% under with site visitors nonetheless 15% under within the first half of 2019. And this income efficiency has been pushed by retained and business revenue will increase 13% up. This asset, I have to remind you that we consolidate with the worldwide consolidation.
The subsequent slide goes to the brand new terminal one. As I stated, it is a huge venture. I have not seen this sort of huge initiatives being the — I imply, attaining monetary loss, this one has. It is an asset that’s actually wanted to ship capability for worldwide site visitors at JFK. We’re offering this slide a little bit bit extra element into the makes use of of funds which can be wanted for Section A after which B1 and B2 which can be anticipated to occur as a result of, I imply, Section A has achieved just about with ranges which can be just like pre-pandemic when there’s demand to journey that isn’t catered for. Okay. So we have now these customers, and we have now additionally the Section A funding element the place you see the fairness of USD2.3 billion, and we have now a development financial institution facility of USD6.6 billion. It is essential to say that we do not count on fairness injections for Section B. Simply the operations will generate the money circulation via, I imply, these wanted funds.
When it comes to worth indications, it has been fairly profitable, and we have now the funding grade confirmed by Moody’s, Fitch & Kroll. Development is already progressing, proper? So we see within the snapshot, the inexperienced storage development that was shut to begin preparation for demolition works, okay? So wanting ahead to this venture within the coming months and years.
I transfer on to development, — we had seen energetic inflation administration whereas specializing in supply. We actually have to ship the infrastructure as these huge initiatives. And the margin in the long run may be very comparable. It is just about the identical as the primary quarter, 0.8%. And right here, the inflation impacts of provides are being labored with totally different mitigating measures. One in all them, after all, there’s indexation or escalation formulation in Poland and Spain. This helped to protect margins — however from a money circulation perspective, I imply we’re paying subcontractors or suppliers, however revenues come while you finalize their works, proper? I imply all these worth evaluation formulation, proper? So margins now are reflecting this restoration, however money is just not, proper? So we’re not getting this assortment that can come sooner or later.
Then we even have claims as a result of there have been disruptions or delays from COVID and worth will increase, these are in course of. We usually do not acknowledge this except they’re signed off by the shoppers. So you haven’t any profit from the accounting affect or from the money circulation right here, proper? So once more, it is outstanding that you just get to the 0.8 with out this profit in margin and, after all, in money. Additionally, we have been doing extra gross sales efficiency forward of the anticipated social inflation and in development typically within the U.S. in selective areas that can also be serving to to climate the affect on inflation in these works. And naturally, within the latest bidding processes, we embody inflation leeway, escalation and different forms of measures to guard right here. Okay. In order I stated, in all probability we’re a cut-off date when the accounting and money are reflecting the worst scenario and we may have enchancment in margins and money going ahead. And naturally, for the rest of 2022, as we stated, been saying for months, we count on the U.S. works to devour money. Okay.
If we transfer on to the subsequent slide, the place we evaluation the accounting outcomes. We principally have mentioned the working figures, and we will go into the monetary outcomes. I imply you see an essential enchancment in monetary bills. If we glance into the totally different strains, the outcomes from infrastructure in all probability we have now extra expense. Right here is expounded to a specific asset that we have now lined prior to now, I imply it is [indiscernible], the place we have now a detrimental internet value. So is principally nugatory in our accounting portfolio. And this one is reflecting the affect of the — an inflation by-product that isn’t receiving accounting hedge, proper? So it would not have an effect in money circulation, it doesn’t have an effect in worth actually now within the — in our fairness evaluation.
Concerning the monetary useful resource from ex-infrastructure initiatives, we have now huge enchancment there. The development is derived from two issues. One in all them is simply the curiosity expense is healthier and you’ve got higher remuneration on money and you’ve got low value on debt after repaying final yr, one of many older bonds within the portfolio. And in addition you take pleasure in pre-hedging from bond points that didn’t happen. We’re doing financial institution financing and from an accounting standpoint, it needs to be mirrored, is just not hedge accounting, proper? So in the long run, we’re having a greater curiosity value efficiency. Simply wanting on the fairness accounted associates additionally, we have turned the nook right here and we have now a optimistic contribution, and subsequently, we find yourself with a internet revenue optimistic of €50 million.
If we go on to the subsequent slide, right here is the place we see the evolution within the money place within the internet treasury place. It has been coming down, however for some good causes, shareholder remuneration, north of €350 million, investments of €230 million. After which we have now the working capital evolution of €248 million. It is essential to remind everyone that we’re not doing any factoring proper now. Our stability is just about zero. I imply it would not make sense from a monetary value standpoint in the meanwhile. It is one other device that we have now, however it’s not essentially the most environment friendly one, proper? So we’re not taking the flattering of any — factoring in these numbers. Okay. So in all probability, that’s for the online money place, if we transfer on, clearly, the abstract of those outcomes is that we’re seeing the post-pandemic site visitors restoration. After all, there’s macro uncertainties, however our property have been performing rather well and they’re situated in progress areas the place infrastructure is required. I imply, they profit from inflation. It isn’t solely that you’ve a formulation to go it on. I imply you’ll be able to have pricing energy in lots of them. In development, I imply the breaker to speed up merchandise and ship these infrastructure property within the present setting is a problem, however has been managed in a really energetic means and that has preserved their margins. As I stated within the dialogue might be within the least flattering their place as a result of we should always have higher margins going ahead and money collections going ahead. And final however not least, we’re wanting into engaging funding alternatives. Complicated infra initiatives within the U.S. is the precedence and delivering them with a sustainable method, and exhibiting our capabilities there’s going to be a key for the success sooner or later.
Okay. So thanks loads for bearing with us, and we open the ground to the Q&A.
Query-and-Reply Session
A – Silvia Ruiz
Thanks very a lot, Ernesto. The Q&A session will start shortly. Please keep tuned, So let’s simply begin with the Q&A session. The primary set of questions comes from Robert Crimes from Perception. First query, by way of tariffs for JFK Terminal 1, Ferrovial’s Airport’s CEO talked about it prices in plain passenger of $81 at Terminal 4 in its one issuance doc. Does this present an inexpensive information for tariffs at Terminal 1 in 2026 at open?
Ignacio Gaston
Thanks, Robert, for the query. That is Ignacio Gaston from the Ferrovial Airports staff. With respect to your query, after all, any tariff of terminals that may be a reference level for the NTO staff. What I want to remind you is that the aim of the NTO venture is offering a brand new facility with best-in-class providers for long-haul passengers. This attractiveness of this method has been confirmed via agreements with 4 airways already signed and dedicated with particular tariffs for the venture. So we’re very satisfied that I can ship the [indiscernible] we’re anticipated.
Silvia Ruiz
Subsequent query from Robert Crimes. Why did you initially use syndicated loans for brand new Terminal 1 at JFK and never challenge personal exercise bonds as did the prior consortium at LaGuardia Terminal B? Any indication of the curiosity value of the loans?
Ignacio Gaston
Thanks, Robert. That is Ignacio Gaston once more. Principally, the primary targets to make use of financial institution amenities at that second in time was benefiting from making an attempt to keep away from a excessive value of the potential components given the volatility out there, the brand new potential challenge premiums coming from a brand new transaction and likewise avoiding the widening of the spreads in the meanwhile of economic flows. In order that’s why we use the flexibleness of the financial institution financing with a view to wait and see developments out there. With respect to your second query, that is commercially delicate, so I cannot — I can not say at this second in time. Thanks.
Silvia Ruiz
The subsequent set of questions is coming from Luis Prieto from Kepler Cheuvreux. First query. Though you already registered a really favorable income per transaction [seen] in your managed lanes within the first quarter, may you please remind us what the important thing in components of this efficiency have been within the first half? Specifically, I’d be thinking about your views on the sensitivity of income per transaction to a softening of site visitors if we have been to enter a recession.
Jose Maria Velao
Thanks, Luis, on your query. That is J.M. Velao from Cintra. In our property in Texas, we’re shut sufficient to the mushy cap, throughout peak hours, however we have now some room in mid days and weekends within the youthful asset that we bought that’s at 35 West. But it surely’s essential to notice that we have now — even that we’re in sub-cap, we have now different mechanism to extend gross sales even in a softer scenario, as I stated, like a CP escalation that is essential in an inflationary setting that we live proper now, and the obligatory occasions that we — as we all know, is a vital income influx within the NT. We now have income optimizations in all of the property that we’re engaged on that with the algorithm. So we all know that our property are in Texas and Dallas that regardless that we have now to control the financial softening, we’re in a really sturdy financial system with very dynamic, as Mr. Ernesto stated within the presentation, and exhibiting a robust progress prospect, strong inhabitants with excessive value revenue that can enable us to navigate higher any potential financial downturn.
Silvia Ruiz
Subsequent query from Luis Prieto. Might you present a tough thought of what’s the value inflation affect on the Development division ought to be for the complete yr? What proportion of the harm do you suppose may very well be mitigated by worth escalation clauses.
Inaki Garcia Bilbao
Thanks, Luis. That is Inaki Garcia Bilbao, CFO Ferrovial Development. What we will say with you is the online affect that we’re having as of right now, as of June, and that is round €50 million. After all, within the second half of the yr, in all probability we’re going to have an effect nearer to that. I imply, as a result of contracts that we nonetheless have within the backlog, except there are some modifications within the safety of formulation indexes, etcetera. You might be additionally asking about what proportion. I imply that also there are a variety of uncertainties. We all know that in Poland, the hole has been raised. I imply for street development from 5% to 10% hole. Now they’re considering that in railways in all probability there may very well be one other improve. Additionally, how that is going to be prolonged, I imply to different administrations. And in Spain, it’s nearly the identical. I imply that there are some limitations. I imply there are gaps of the proportion that may be utilized. Additionally, there are some, for instance, [foreign language] which can be nonetheless out of the — within the exception formulation and vitality remains to be out. I imply, so we’re nonetheless combating as development firms, I imply, to withstand [indiscernible]. However in all probability, I imply, I am speaking about internet results, however the broad impact is double than the quantity we have now — in any case, I imply, regardless of the inflation affect, we consider that the margin on the finish of the yr, the EBIT margin might be optimistic.
Silvia Ruiz
Subsequent set of questions coming from [Agustin Sandra] from Stifel. First query, the development order ebook has fallen minus 4.1% year-on-year, like-for-like. How has the order consumption advanced throughout the semester? Ought to we see this as an indication of a slowdown in exercise?
Inaki Garcia Bilbao
That is Inaki Garcia once more. Properly, — and we have now despatched you this data within the presentation that within the month of July, we have now signed or we have now gained, I imply, contracts within the worth of €1.8 billion. And that is primarily within the geographies we need to be, €1 billion in Poland, €400 million in Webber and the remainder in Australia that’s [indiscernible]. I imply — so contemplating that we should not see, I imply, that fall within the backlog. That is principally, I imply, as a result of in Poland, we have now elevated our revenue, I imply, as a result of local weather, but in addition that we have been about to signal sure contracts as a result of doubts concerning the intersection formulation they weren’t signed, and that is about €3 billion [foreign language]. And now that the contracts are together with these formulation with the brand new gaps is once we are beginning to signal. So on this second, we do not see a recession within the contracting within the second half of the yr. Thanks.
Silvia Ruiz
Subsequent query from [Augustin Sandra]. How a lot of the [indiscernible] efficiency is as a result of unprecedented value of the I-66 and I-285 contracts? Ought to we count on them to have a extra detrimental affect on margins because it reaches completion?
Ernesto Lopez Mozo
I believe I used to be — no, the actual fact is that the — in June as these are loss-making contracts, I imply all of the losses of those contracts are already included within the revenue and loss account. It is true that not all was provisioned. I imply so we have now misplaced on this half yr €60 million, kind of. I imply, it is via that we have now the interior charges. And that is principally due to two issues. I imply one is the inflation that we have now suffered. These are contracts signed in that fastened worth, and we suffered this inflation. And in addition, please keep in mind that as a result of COVID and all of the delays within the provide chain, I imply, we try to complete the roles on the time, I imply with acceleration, additionally generally, I imply, assuming modifications proposed by the consumer that they’re nonetheless not agreed. This may come into claims. However as a result of prudent method that we have now to claims, we’re not recognizing within the outcomes. However as I discussed, I imply, all of the affect is already lined in June.
Silvia Ruiz
Subsequent set of questions coming from [Marco Wever] from JPMorgan. First query — with June LBJ site visitors at minus 13% and 407ETR site visitors at minus 16% versus 2019 ranges, excluding optimistic name in our affect, are you seeing any optimistic restoration tendencies in July? Why are these property nonetheless lagging? And any replace on work-from-home tendencies inside the areas.
Jose Maria Velao
Thanks, Marco, on your query. That is J.M. Let me begin with the 407ETR. It is true that the site visitors is at under 16. However in the event you verify the graph within the presentation, the advance within the congestion and mobility on this area and the efficiency within the 407 is kind of good. This minus 16 might be the — it is the very best site visitors efficiency that we have now because the pandemic started. We’re — in July, we see that the site visitors efficiency is consistent with the overall mobility within the space, and we have now to maintain a watch as Ernesto talked about within the presentation on financial softening. In the long run, we have now sturdy financial indicators in Toronto, such GDP and inhabitants progress within the space that has the 407ETR, which is optimistic contemplating the lengthy period of the asset, very optimistic. Going again to the LBJ site visitors. What is going on in — we — what is going on within the LBJ, we recognized two issues. The primary one is that within the space, the realm the place the LBJ is extra uncovered to residents and firm which can be — that may make money working from home. In order that they bought extra flexibility, and that affects to the site visitors efficiency. And the second affect comes from the continued works, development works within the IBEX 35 is that is a vital characteristic of the LBJ. These two ideas are what’s behind the lag.
Silvia Ruiz
Subsequent query. You talked about inflation safety measures in your development actions in Poland and Spain. Are you able to give a sign of quantity of contract indexes on inflation?
Ernesto Lopez Mozo
Sure. Thanks, Marco. I believe I already talked about, I imply, in Spain and in Poland, only for public shoppers Spain, we will say that about 50% of our backlog and our revenues are with public shoppers. And as I discussed earlier than, solely [indiscernible]. I imply in all probability they are going to come ultimately. So about this 50% would be the proportion. In case of Poland, the proportion of public contracts is increased with the excellence that I made, I imply that for roads, there’s a increased cap than for railways, however 60% may very well be the proportion of safety in public contracts.
Silvia Ruiz
Subsequent set of questions is coming from Marcin Wojtal from Financial institution of America. Are you able to present an replace of the brand new managed lane alternative in Atlanta? When do you count on this commerce to be awarded?
Jose Maria Velao
Thanks, Martin on your questions. That is J.M. once more. Sure, we’re engaged on and function. We’re very motivated as a result of it’s our goal. And we’re working the pre-qualification in these weeks. We count on to have the bid course of on the finish of the yr. So the whole lot goes underneath expectations.
Silvia Ruiz
Subsequent query. When may we count on for dividend to be distributed by the NTE35 West venture?
Jose Maria Velao
As we’re working and construct within the — we’re setting up section 3C at this second. We have to wait until the tip of this development works to obtain any dividends for the 35 West. So we count on it to complete this development on September 2023, so in all probability on the finish of the yr we see any dividend.
Silvia Ruiz
Final query from Marcin. Are you able to present a touch upon how mandatary mode and the mandataries are impacting monetary outcomes?
Jose Maria Velao
Okay. Mandatary mode work for — simply to maintain a superb stage of service in our highways that led us to extend the tariff even that we’re in a stock-up. So the affect in revenues is comparatively — is essential, however it’s this — this occurred solely in sure durations of instances and in sure segments of the freeway.

Concerning the inflation, one factor essential to say is that though there are compensation formulation — this might be lined on the finish of the contract. I imply they are going to be collected on the finish of the contract. So inflation you are struggling right now, even in P&L, you will have much less affect, however you’re paying for this inflation on this second, and sadly, might be collected or compensated at finish of contract and possibly not on this yr.
