    AUC vs. DUC

    In the combined year 2020-2021, the terminal AUC for TCZ1 was lower by -16.0% (-123.61 PLN or -29.05€2017) comparing to the DUC. This was in particular the effect of the lower than planned terminal costs in real terms (-17.4%, -13.2 MPLN2017 or -3.1 M€2017) for TCZ1.

    Terminal service units

    The difference between actual and planned TNSU for the zone (-1.6%) is within the ±2% dead-band, which results in a loss borne by ANSPs.

    Terminal costs by entity

    Actual terminal costs are -17.4% lower than planned (-3.1 M€2017) which is mainly driven by the lower costs for PANSA (-18.8% or -3.1 M€2017). Slightly lower actual costs are observed in the IMWM (METSP), -0.8%. For the NSA costs are higher by +4.8%.

    Terminal costs for the main ANSP at charging zone level

    The lower than planned terminal costs for TCZ1 in real terms for PANSA (-18.8%, or -3.1 M€2017) result from:
    - lower en route staff costs for TCZ1 (by -19.6% or -2.5 M€2017), “resulting from a number of factors, including evolution of provisions also those for one-off elements of staff benefits reflected in the RP3 determined cost”, lower remuneration costs (due to lower employment level) and lower actual level of bonuses and rewards;
    - lower terminal other operating costs for the zone (by -36.1% or -0.7 M€2017), resulting from costs cutting measures in 2021;
    - higher, by +1.0% (or +0.02 M€2017) depreciation costs due to the difference in the useful life of some assets;
    - lower, by -0.9% cost of capital due to slightly lower value of asset base.

    Focus on AUCU

    The actual terminal unit costs for TCZ1 incurred by airspace users (AUCU) in respect of activities performed in the combined year 2020-2021 (826.28 PLN or 183.17€) is -0.5% lower than the nominal DUC (830.36 PLN or 184.11€), which includes DUC initially charged (451.40 PLN or 100.18€) and DUC to be charged retroactively (378.96 PLN or 83.93€). The difference between these two figures (-4.08 PLN/SU or -0.94 €/SU) is due to:
    - the positive inflation adjustment resulting from higher than planned inflation (+8.42 PLN/SU or +1.85€/SU);
    - the positive adjustment for costs exempt from cost-sharing (+2.24 PLN/SU or +0.49€/SU), to be charged to the airspace users in future years;
    - the positive traffic adjustments for costs not subject to traffic risk sharing (+0.90 PLN/SU or +0.20€/SU), to be charged to the airspace users in future years; and
    - the deduction of the other revenues (-15.64 PLN/SU or - 3.47€/SU).
    The share of the regulatory result in the AUCU (before the deduction of other revenues) is 19.1% (or 18.9% while calculating in EUR).

    Regulatory result (RR)

    Focus on regulatory result

    PANSA net gain on activity in the TCZ1 in the combined year 2020-2021
    PANSA’s net gain amounts to +13.9 MPLN (or +3.0 M€), as a result of gains of +15.1 MPLN from the cost sharing mechanism, and the loss of -1.2 MPLN from the traffic risk sharing mechanism.
    PANSA overall regulatory results (RR) for the terminal activity in TCZ1
    Ex-post, the overall RR taking into account the net gain from the activity mentioned above (+3.0 M€) and the actual RoE (+1.7 MPLN or +0.4 M€) amounts to +15.6 MPLN or +3.4 M€ (20.5% of the terminal revenues for TCZ1). The resulting ex-post rate of return on equity is 21.6% which is higher than the 2.4% planned in the PP.
