Cost-efficiency - Hungary
PRB monitoring
▪ The 2020 actual service units (1,423K) were 54% lower than the actual service units in 2019 (3,124K).
▪ Hungary reduced total costs in 2020 by 9.4 M€2017 (-10%) compared to 2019 actual costs. The reduction is driven by a decrease in staff costs of 4.5 M€2017 (-9%) due to reduced benefits related to performance and a lower social contribution tax rate. Other operating costs also decreased notably of 4 M€2017 (-12%), due to postponement of ATCO trainings and less travels.
▪ Hungary decreased all cost categories except for depreciation. The increase of 1 M€2017 (+10%) in depreciation costs is explained by the NSA by changes in useful life, price increases due to exchange rate effect, upgrade of Matias ATM system and new IT devices.
▪ HungaroControl spent 24 M€2017 in 2020 related to costs of investments, 18% less than planned in the 2019 draft performance plan (29 M€2017). The reduction is explained by a lower cost of capital resulting from a lower asset base and WACC than originally planned.
