2019 Actual vs. 2019 Budget: 
The Port's operating results for 2019 were very strong. Total operating revenues were $10.9M higher than budget
due to continued strong performance in ADR & Terminal Leased Space, Ground Transportation, Rental Cars,
Clubs and lounges, Airport Commercial Properties, Conference & Event Centers, and NWSA Distributable
Revenues. Total operating expenses were $11.9M below budget, largely due to a DRS Pension Plan credit of
$16.5M, spending delays on Outside Services, and underspending in utilities and travel accounts which were
partially offset by higher costs related to snow removal at the airport during the snowstorm in February.
2019 Actual vs. 2018 Actual: 
The Port's total operating revenues were $74.8M higher compared with the prior year due to higher revenues in
Clubs & Lounges, Ground Transportation, ADR & Terminal Leased Space, Public Parking, and Cruise. Total
expenses were $45.5M above prior year actuals due to higher spending in Outside Services, Equipment Expense,
Environmental Remediation Liabilities Expense, Third Party Management Expense, higher payroll costs driven by
the addition of new staff, and additional funding to support the Port's business goals and initiatives.

I.     PORTWIDE FINANCIAL & PERFORMANCE REPORT 12/31/19 
2019 Actual vs. 2019 Budget: 
Excluding Aeronautical revenues which are based on cost recovery and Airport Non-Aero Revenues, Total Non-
Airport operating revenues were $9.4M above budget mainly due to higher revenues from Conference & Event
Centers and NWSA Distributable Revenues. Total operating expenses were $2.4M lower than budget due to DRS
Pension Plan True-up credit, unfilled positions, and lower Outside Services and Travel & Other Employee
expenses. 
2019 Actual vs. 2018 Actual: 
Non-airport operating revenues were $2.9M less than the prior year due to the decline in NWSA Distributable
Revenues driven by lower container volumes, a lease termination and higher expenses due to increased
depreciation and crane removal expenses.

KEY BUSINESS EVENTS 
The Port adopted the Duwamish Valley Community Benefits Commitment Policy to promote community
partnerships, healthy environments and communities, and economic prosperity. The Port also sponsored Green
City Days in near-airport communities as part of the multi-year collaborative project to foster urban forest
stewardship. Additionally, the Port announced its partnership with sustainability leaders to develop the Embodied
Carbon in Construction Calculator (EC3) tool which will enable the building industry to transparently measure,
compare, and reduce embodied carbon emissions from construction materials. The Racial Equity Pilot program
was implemented, and several construction contracts were awarded for the new Shilshole Customer Service
Facility Building. The Port also hosted 11 PortGen events in 2019 with over 300 small/WMBE businesses in
attendance. 
The Port received several awards in 2019 which included the AAPA Award of Excellence in environmental
enhancements for stormwater innovations; the Government Finance Officers Association's (GFOA) Certificate of
Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for
the 14th consecutive year; and GFOA's Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the 2019 Budget document 
for the 12th consecutive year. In addition, the Port's maritime parks and public access areas have once again been
awarded the Salmon-Safe certification for its commitment to protect the Puget Sound water quality by enhancing
the ecological environment and restoring salmon habitat. The Port also won its second Cruise Critic Award, this
time for Best North American Homeport in 2019. Seattle was also named 'Cruiser's Choice' in Top 5 Destinations
for 2019. The 2019 cruise season ended with a record number of passengers of over 1.2M and a successful Port
Valet program with 20% overall increase in passenger participation year over year.
In December, the Port set guiding principles for the public-facing use of biometric technology at Port facilities
after conducting study sessions in September and October. The next step would be to translate these principles into
policies that will guide decision-making regarding this topic. The Airport launched the voluntary Late-Night Noise
Limitation Program to encourage air carriers to fly during less noise-sensitive hours or transition to quieter aircraft;
the recently released 2019 fourth quarter report showed all airlines with late-night operations that exceeded noise
thresholds during the quarter and ranked air carriers by their number of exceedances during the late-night hours.
The Airport also launched several programs which included: SEA Visitor program, on-line parking prebooking
/reservation system, and on-demand taxi system.

(1) Annual non-cash amortization of $17.9M lease incentive related to the 5 year SLOA III agreement which ended in 2017.
2019 Actual vs. 2019 Budget 
Total Net Operating Income (NOI) for 2019 is $10.9M higher than budget (4.2% favorable), driven by: 
o   Higher Non-Aeronautical revenue (9.5M or 3.7% favorable) due to strong performance at year-end with
Port Clubs and Lounges, In-Flight Meals, TNCs (Transportation Network Companies) within Ground
Transportation, Airport Dining & Retail, Non-Airline Terminal Leased Space, and Rental Cars. Public
Parking came in line with budget at year-end. 
o   Operating Expenses performed favorable to budget ($9.5M or 2.6%), driven primarily the year-end
pension credit adjustment which resulted in $13.4M in payroll cost savings. Additionally, there were
savings of $3.0M in allocations from other divisions - largely due to spending delays of approximately
$745k in Central Services, $1.7M in Capital Development, and $550K in Police. Without the pension
credit savings, total operating expenses would be slightly unfavorable ($3.9M or 1.1%) to budget - mainly
due to Q1 snow cleanup impact, environmental remediation expenses, and capital write-offs to expenses. 
2019 Actual vs. 2018 Actual 
Net Operating Income for 2019 is $39.9M higher than prior year (17.3% favorable) 
o   Higher Operating Revenue ($77.7 or 14.1%) compared to prior year due to: 
Higher Aeronautical revenue ($66.3M higher) due to increased rate-based costs and lower revenue
sharing. 
Stronger Non-Aeronautical revenue performance ($11.3M higher) in Port Clubs and Lounges, Ground
Transportation, Non-Arline Terminal Lease Spaces, Public Parking, Commercial Properties, and
Airport Dining & Retail. 
o   Higher Operating Expenses ($37.8M or 17.3%) compared to prior year due to: 
Higher direct airport payroll costs related to increased staffing of approximately $7.3M (includes
pension credit) 
Higher Airport Expenses mostly due to snow removal expenses incurred in 2019. 
Higher outside services expenses of approximately $7.1M primarily due to non-recurring expenses
focused on addressing strategic initiatives throughout the airport. 
Higher charges from other divisions of $6.9M. Environmental Liability Expense is $9.7M higher,
offset by lower Capital write-offs of $4.8M.

2019 Actual vs. 2019 Budget: 
Cost per Enplanement (CPE): 
o   CPE is ($0.53, or 4.0%) favorable to 2019 budget driven primarily by lower allocations from other
divisions driven by payroll savings due to pension credit and spending delays in projects and program
spending. 
o   Non-Aero NOI is ($14.2M or 10.4%) favorable to budget due to both higher revenues, payroll savings due
to pension credit, and deferred project expense spending. 
2019 Actual vs. to 2018 Actual: 
Non-Aero NOI: 
o   CPE is $2.07 higher compared to prior year due to increase in rate-based costs and decrease in revenue
sharing (from 40% to 20%) percentage under SLOA IV. 
o   Non-Aero NOI is flat to prior year due to higher expenses incurred in 2019 compared to the rate of growth
in revenue. The increases are primarily from new FTEs added for 2019 and non-recurring expenses
focused on addressing strategic initiatives throughout the airport.

Operating Expenses  2019 Actual vs. 2019 Budget ($9.5M or 2.6% favorable): 
Total Operating Expenses is $9.5M favorable driven primarily by: 
o   Year-end pension credit adjustment of $13.4M resulting in payroll cost savings. 
Without the pension credit adjustment, total operating expenses would have been approximately
$3.9M over budget. This still would have been closely in-line within budget, within 1.1%. 
o   Savings from spending delays (approximately $3M): Central Services ($745K favorable), Capital
Development ($1.7M favorable), Police ($550K favorable) 
o   The two categories of savings above helped to offset the following Direct Airport Expense that would have
been over by $6.9M: 
Snow removal impact from Q1 2019  impacted both payroll and non-payroll costs by approx. $3.2M 
Environmental Remediation Liability (ERL)  higher by $1.6M 
Capital to Expense charges  higher by $2.1M

Aeronautical  2019 Actual vs. 2019 Budget 
Aeronautical net operating income is ($3.3M or 2.7%) unfavorable to budget, due to: 
o   Lower Aeronautical Revenues ($8M or 2.2%) driven primarily by savings in payroll due to the year-end
pension credit adjustment  approximately $2.1M adjustment to the Aero Rate Base, delayed spending in
capital development and related capital project expenses, and higher revenue sharing to airlines due to
stronger performance in the Non-Aeronautical businesses. 
Aeronautical  2019 Actual vs. 2018 Actual 
Net Operating Income for 2019 is $39M higher than prior year (48.8 % favorable) 
o   $66.3M higher revenue from rate-based costs to recover increased airline activity, and due to lower
revenue sharing to the Airlines per SLOA IV airline.

Non-Aeronautical  2019 Actual vs. 2019 Budget 
Non-Aeronautical net operating income is $14.2M higher than budget (10.4% favorable). 
o   Higher projected revenues ($9.5M or 3.7% higher) due to continued favorable performance in Port Clubs
and Lounges, and in Ground Transportation - driven by strong demand. Non-Airline Terminal Leased
Space, Rental Cars, and Airport Dining & Retail also ended favorably at year-end. Public Parking
performed to Budget. 
o   Lower expenses ($4.7M or 3.8% lower) due largely to savings from the pension credit adjustment and
delayed spending from other divisions which helped to absorb the impact of snow removal costs to
Landside in Q1. 
Non-Aeronautical  2019 Actual vs. 2018 Actual 
Non-Aeronautical Net Operating Income for 2019 is relatively flat compared to prior year (only $793k or 0.5% 
higher) despite stronger non-aeronautical revenues ($11.3M or 4.4% higher) in Clubs and Lounges, Airport
Dining & Retail, Ground Transportation, and Public Parking. Expenses are ($10.5M or 9.8%) higher 
compared to prior year due to increased staffing, higher outside services expense primarily due to nonrecurring
expenses focused on addressing strategic initiatives throughout the airport, and higher charges from
other divisions.

1.   Steel fabrication and trade staffing challenges have caused significant delays to the project. 
2.   Delay with mechanical air handling equipment purchase, construction labor leveling efforts both
contributed to annual cashflow variance. 
3.   Originally, the construction was to be done in one year, but construction timing has now shifted into year
two. 
4.   WP U00495 (2019AIP) had bid much lower than engineer's estimate. WP U00503 (2020 AIP) scope
originally was to be in four key locations on the Airfield. AVOPs indicated that the original scope
locations were too disruptive. The 2020 project scope was adjusted to align with operations request. 
5.   2019 Baseline cashflow prepared prior to scope revision (sidewalk surfacing). Scope revision contributed
to a four-month construction delay. Subsequently, bids were cancelled, and construction did not start in
2019. 
6.   2019 Baseline cashflow prepared prior to scope revision (security fencing). Scope revision delayed
construction by two months. Subsequent to scope revision, construction delayed by an additional month
due to a bid protest. 
7.   Contractor is six months behind schedule, spending is behind original estimate. 
8.   Design delays have postponed the start of construction until 2020. 
9.   2019 Baseline cashflow assumed traffic management change order was implemented, ultimately, this did
not occur. Furthermore, reduced spending on work in the main garage also contributed to the variance. 
10. Awaiting grant issuance for project to commence. 
11. Work project U00434 - elevator shafts and vestibules are being delayed until 2020 construction season due
to design delays and weather windows. 
12. A change in delivery method (from two major works contracts to one contract) has resulted in a delay in
the construction start date until Q2 2020. 
13. Adjusted the work areas to allow the contractor more efficiencies with larger spaces to complete the work,
accelerating spending this year.

2019 Actual vs. 2018 Actual 
Operating Revenues were $1.7M higher than 2018 due to growth in Cruise and
Fishing/Commercial/Recreational Marinas resulting from increased rates. This growth is offset by WSDOT
lease expiration at T106 & T46 and reductions in volumes at the Grain terminal resulting from soybean tariffs. 
Operating Expenses were $5.4M higher than 2018 actual driven by: 
1.   One Time expenses such as Capital to Expense (up $1.1M) and Environmental Remediation (up $.9M). 
2.   Maintenance Allocation and Environmental Expenses 
3.   Higher Central Services Expenses 
Net Operating Income was $3,678K below 2018 actual.

2019 Actual vs. 2018 Actual 
Operating Expenses for 2019 are $9.5M higher than 2018 actuals mainly due to: 
o   Core Central Support Services  $3.8M higher than 2018 primarily due to higher payroll due to 2019

Outside Services of $900K increased PC refresh of over $500K 
o   Police  $3.9M above 2018 due to the following: 
Added 8 Traffic Support Specialist and 2 Drug Interdiction Officers during 2018 (2019 reflects the
full-year costs). 
Added 4 FTEs, a Police Sergeant and 3 Explosive Airborne Scent Canine Officers which were
requested by the airlines in 2019. 
Wages increase for the officers and sergeants in 2019. 
o   Environment & Sustainability $2.0M over 2018 due to the following: 
Environmental and Sustainability - $352K higher than 2018 due to higher Salaries & Benefits, Travel, 
and more spending on Community programs: ACE/Forterra and Energy and Sustainability Fund. 
Maritime Environment and Planning - $857K higher than 2018 due to the addition of new staff,
increased utility costs due to Derelict Vessels disposal, unanticipated travel to Iceland, and Outside
Services spending in support of environmental projects (i.e. Environmental Compliance Support, 
Environmental Permitting, Bankline Stabilization Programmatic Permit, PORTfolio Planning Services,
Smith Cove Blue Carbon Project, Air Quality & GHG Reduction, etc.). 
Aviation Environmental Expense - $673K higher due to Salaries & Benefits increase of $199K
attributed to less turn-over, retirement/promotion of senior manager, and standard PREP increases,
Outside services $504K increase due to SAMP environmental assessment picking up speed after
delays in spending $410K more than the prior year and PFAS Evaluations - Soil & Groundwater
completed costing approximate $135K.

Limitations of Translatable Documents

PDF files are created with text and images are placed at an exact position on a page of a fixed size.
Web pages are fluid in nature, and the exact positioning of PDF text creates presentation problems.
PDFs that are full page graphics, or scanned pages are generally unable to be made accessible, In these cases, viewing whatever plain text could be extracted is the only alternative.
