PORTWIDE FINANCIAL & PERFORMANCE REPORT 12/31/16

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Financial Summary
The Port's operating revenues for 2016 were $598.5M, which is $13.9M above budget and $39.5M higher than
the same period in 2015. Excluding Aeronautical revenues, which are based on cost recovery, other operating
revenues were $354.2M, $27.1M above budget and $21.3M over 2015 mainly due to higher revenues from
Public Parking, Rental Cars, Airport Dining and Retail, Ground Transportation, Employee Parking, Maritime
Operations, Cruise, Grain, and NWSA Distributable Revenue. Total operating expenses were $325.3M, $10.7M
below budget mainly due to savings from payroll and outside services. Operating income before depreciation
was $273.2M, $24.5M above budget and $32.1M over 2015. The Port-wide capital spending was $169.5M for
the year, $112.5M below the budgeted $282.0M.

Operating Summary
At the Airport, the enplanement growth for 2016 was 8.0% and landed weight was 9.9%, making Sea-Tac from
the 13th busiest airport in North America in 2015 to the 9th place for 2016 (based on passenger volume). The
enplanements growth for domestic and international was 7.6% and 11.4%, respectively. Total cargo metric tons
were 10.2% above 2015. For the Maritime division, Grain volumes and Cruise passengers were up 16.2% and
9.5%, respectively, compared to last year. For the Economic Development division, occupancy levels at
Shilshole Bay Marina were at 94.6%, below 96.5% in 2015. Fishermen's Terminal was at 86.0% average
occupancy, above the 84.2% in 2015. Conference and Event Center revenue exceeded budget due to strong sales
and delayed construction at Pier 66 Cruise Terminal.

Key Business Events
The Port continued to hold events and tours to help build community awareness and support for the Port
including fence-line communities and throughout King County. We completed biofuels infrastructure and
feasibility study at the Airport. AirBridge Cargo from Russia initiated new cargo service in October 2016; and
Eurowings announced new seasonal air service to Cologne, Germany beginning in July 2017. The Port was
named the Best North American Homeport by Cruise Critic. We finalized 5 year agreements with Muckleshoot
and Suquamish Tribes. We also received final, signed Stormwater Utility inter-local agreement between the Port
and City of Seattle. The Port hosted the Clipper Round the World Race. The Port awarded a total of over $1
million in grants to 31 King County cities and 14 Tourism non-profits were made to support local economic
development partnership initiatives in 2016. We continued the implementation of the Real Estate Strategic Plan.
The Port executed contracts with PortJobs and COREPLUS (Manufacturing Industrial Council) to advance
workforce development training in Port cluster. We completed an assessment of small business
incubators/accelerators within the region and continued working to improve small business utilization. The Port
finalized sale of a total of $249.2 million of bonds with a present value savings of $67.6 million. We
implemented Paid Parental Leave policy in 2016.

Major Capital Projects
The Port contributed to regional transportation partner investments with the $147.7M second contribution to the
State's Alaskan Way Viaduct Replacement Program; and the $2.1M second and final contribution to King
County's South Park Bridge. We began construction on International Arrivals Facility. We also executed the
contract amendment with North Satellite contractor for building expansion preliminary construction; and the
Commission authorized construction of Phase 1 of baggage screening optimization project. We completed TNC
Tracking System which includes accepting monthly and real time activity data from Uber, Lyft, and Wingz. We
implemented the North Satellite Transit System Train Display and developed displays for Checkpoint Security
Wait-times. We also replaced the Parking Revenue Control System and completed the Runway reconstruction
ahead of schedule. We completed Terminal 5 Modernization Project test pile field installation and Statnamic
tests. Finally, we started the construction of Pier 66 Tenant Improvement in September 2016.

Division Summary 2016 Actuals vs 2016 Budget
•

Net Operating Income for 2016 is $6.1M higher than budget (3.1% favorable)
o Operating Revenue is $0.5M higher than budget (0.1% favorable) - primarily due to higher NonAero revenue ($12.7M) driven by increased passenger volumes with strong performance in ground
transportation, public parking, rental cars, and airport dining & retail. The increase in Non-Aero
revenue is more than offset by lower Aeronautical revenue ($13.2M) from lower aero costs and
higher revenue sharing.
o Operating Expenses are $6.6M lower than budget (2.5% favorable) - primarily due to lower charges
from Corporate and other divisions ($4.8M savings) and lower than anticipated Aviation direct costs
($3.1M) despite significant unplanned expenditures for the passenger screening queue management
contract and higher janitorial costs in response to increased passenger volumes, partially offset by
higher than anticipated costs for Environmental Remediation Liability expense.

Division Summary 2016 Actuals vs 2015 Actuals
•

A.
•
•
•
•
•

2016 Net Operating Income is $19.3M higher than prior year (10.4% higher NOI)
o 2016 Operating Revenue is $42.4M higher than prior year (10.0% higher) - due to strong growth in
Aeronautical revenue ($18.2M) and higher Non-Aero revenue ($24.2M). The increase in Aero rate
based revenue is primarily due to cost recovery on new assets placed in service and higher operating
expenses to support increased airline activity, partially offset by higher revenue sharing in 2016.
The growth in Non-Aero revenue is driven by higher passenger volumes with strong performance in
ground transportation, public parking, rental cars, and airport dining & retail.
o 2016 Operating Expenses are $23.1M higher than prior year (9.7% higher) - due to higher airport
direct charges ($12.8M) primarily due to increased passenger volumes, and higher charges from
Corporate departments and other divisions ($10.0M).

BUSINESS EVENTS
Passenger growth of 8.0% propelled Sea-Tac into position as the 9th busiest airport in North America for
2016 (based on passenger volume), from 13th place in 2015.
Customer Service: achieved ASQ score of 4.12 for Q4. Result for full year 2016 was below target, but
significant progress realized.
New cargo service: AirBridge Cargo from Russia initiated new service on Oct 7, 2016.
New air service: Eurowings announced new seasonal service to Cologne, Germany beginning in July 2017.
Environmental: completed biofuels infrastructure and feasibility study.

revenues), and increased enplaned passengers.
• Improved debt service coverage compared to budget reflects increased cash flow from growth in enplanements.

Aeronautical - Budget Variance
•

Aeronautical net operating income is $11.9M lower than budget.
o Aeronautical revenue is $13.2M lower than budget:
ï‚§ Lower than budgeted rate base revenue ($3.9M) due to lower debt service payments due to variable
rates, and additional Cap-I projects identified for use with 2015A bonds.
ï‚§ Higher revenue sharing ($9.3M) due to strong non-aero businesses performance and lower debt
service payments.

11

II.

AVIATION DIVISION FINANCIAL & PERFORMANCE REPORT 12/31/16
o

Aeronautical operating expenses are $1.3M lower than budget:
ï‚§ Airport Direct Charges - $0.9M lower than budget despite significant unplanned expenditures for the
passenger screening queue management contract and higher janitorial costs in response to increased
passenger volumes.
ï‚§ Exceptions - $1.6M higher than budget primarily due to ERL reserve increase for Lora Lake (Lake
parcel) project.
ï‚§ Charges from other divisions - $2.0M lower than budget charges from Corporate departments.

Aeronautical - Year over Year Changes
•

Aeronautical net operating income is $3.1M higher than 2015.
o Aeronautical revenues are $18.2 higher year over year - higher rate based revenues are offset by higher
revenue sharing:
ï‚§ Higher rate based revenue ($26.2M) primarily due to cost recovery on new assets placed in service
and higher operating expenses to support increased airline activity.
ï‚§ Higher revenue sharing ($7.9M) - due to increase in non-aero revenues driven by higher passenger
volumes.
o Aeronautical operating expenses in 2016 are $15.1M higher than 2015:
ï‚§ Airport Direct Charges - $8.3M higher than prior year primarily due to targeted spending to support
increased passenger volumes including security checkpoint queue management contractor costs
(2.2M), and increased janitorial services ($2.5M).
ï‚§ Exceptions - $0.7M higher than prior year primarily due to 2016 increase in ERL reserve for Lora
Lake (Lake parcel - $2.3M) project, partially offset by 2015 ERL expense for Delta build-out
($1.5M).
ï‚§ Charges from other divisions - $6.1M higher than 2015.

Fishing & Operations primarily from improved utilization of Dockage, Berthage, and Moorage; a $311K
favorable variance in Maritime Portfolio Management; and a $380K favorable Grain variance due to high
summer volumes being slightly offset by ($188K) unfavorable variance in Recreational Boating, due to
lower occupancy than budgeted.
Total Operating Expenses were $2,201K favorable to budget in 2016 primarily due to lower maintenance
and corporate allocated expenses than budgeted as well as timing of Maritime expenditures (including a
$500K credit to expense budgeted as revenue).
Net Operating Income before Depreciation was $3,697K favorable to budget.
Capital Expenses in 2016 at $5.7M, $9.9M below budget driven by project delays.

greater occupancy, $105K for Space Rental, $65K favorable for Security Service, and $30K Utility revenue

• $15K favorable to budget for Fishermen's Terminal and MIC, with Rec Boating favorability offsetting
fishing vessel moorage.
Cruise Operations - favorable $26K
• Port Directed Cruise Fees - favorable $502K or 3.5%, the result of higher passenger counts than budgeted.

payment was booked as an expense reduction rather than revenue, as budgeted.
Recreational Boating - unfavorable ($188K)
• Shilshole Bay Marina ($181K) unfavorable due to shortfall in moorage and utility revenues.
• Bell Harbor Marina ($2K) unfavorable with lower guest moorage than budgeted.
• Harbor Island Marina ($9K) unfavorable with lower guest moorage than budgeted.

MARITIME DIVISION FINANCIAL & PERFORMANCE REPORT 12/31/16

Total Maritime Division Expenses were $2,201K favorable to budget. Key variances are as follows:
• Maritime Expenses (excluding Maintenance) were $660K favorable to budget. Major variances were as
follows:
• Salaries & Benefits were $338K favorable due to open positions for much of the year in Fishing &
Operations.
• General Expenses were $525K favorable primarily due to $500K expense credit in Cruise business for
Norwegian Cruise Lines contribution for ½ of Cruise Terminals of America lease buyout that was part of
the agreement with NCLH to upgrade P66. This was originally budgeted as revenue.
• Travel & Other Employee Expenses $98K favorable across all departments.
• Utilities were ($273K) unfavorable due to update in stormwater rates.
• Maintenance Expenses were $676K favorable to budget from unfilled positions and under-spending on
wages and benefits.
• Environment & Sustainability Expenses were $72K favorable to budget.
• Corporate Expenses were $259K favorable to budget.
• Other Economic Development Expenses $331K favorable primarily due to not spending budgeted broker
fees and TI's at FT and MIC properties and lower than budget Utility costs for electricity.
Change from 2015
Net Operating Income (NOI) before Depreciation for 2016 decreased by ($3,283K) - Higher revenue offset
by higher expenses, primarily allocations.
Revenues increased by $3,542K - Revenue from the Grain terminal increased $675K reflecting higher volume.
Fishing & Operations revenue increased $753K from better moorage utilization and rate increases. Cruise
revenue increased $584K, a result of more sailings with higher passenger numbers. Recreational Boating
increased $408K from rate increases. Maritime Portfolio Management increased $217K from rent and utilities at
T106, T91, and FT.
Expenses, direct and allocated, increased by $6,825K - Variance driven by increases in Police and Corporate
allocations of $1,310K and $3,496K respectively, resulting from change in methodology with the creation of the
NWSA. Maritime expenses increased $1,158K over prior year from increased utility (particularly surface
water), litigation, and mitigation costs tied to the P66 cruise terminal expansion.

Total Economic Development Division (EDD) revenues were $2,159K or about 16% favorable to budget for
2016 primarily due to stronger sales activities at Conference and Event Centers than budgeted.
Total Operating Expenses were $2,312K or 10% favorable for 2016 due to lower spending than budgeted
across all groups except for the Conference and Event Center.
Net Operating Income for 2016 was $4,470K favorable to budget and $4,189K below 2015 primarily due to
lower revenues from the Conference and Event Centers and higher divisional and corporate allocations.
Capital spending for full year 2016 was $4.8 million or 54% of the approved budget of $8.8 million.

BUSINESS EVENTS
A total of $1,070K in grants to 31 King County cities and 14 Tourism non-profits were made in 2016 to
support local economic development partnership initiatives.
Continued implementation of Real Estate Strategic Plan, including completion of NERA 2/3 RFP, property
acquisition due diligence, and ongoing planning for FT/T-91 Redevelopment.

market rental rates. Occupancy is above the average of 95% for the comparable office markets and near the
average of 98% for comparable industrial markets.1
Conference and Event Center activity exceeded the 2016 budget due to delayed construction schedule of the
P-66 Cruise Terminal and from a strong regional economy.

Council) to advance training in Port Cluster. Staff also started work on an aviation career pathways project.

Total Economic Development Division Revenue was $2,159K favorable to budget. Key variances:
•

•

Conference & Event Centers were $1,727K favorable due to strong sales at Bell Harbor International
Conference Center (BHICC) and greater utilization of space prior to initiation of P-66 Cruise Terminal
expansion construction, high sponsorship sales at World Trade Center Seattle (WTC-S), and higher than
budgeted revenues from events at the Smith Cove Cruise Terminal.
Portfolio Management revenues were $432K higher than budget due to higher than anticipated occupancy
at T-102 Marina Corporate Center, T-91 Uplands, and above budget revenues from the former Tsubota Steel
Site & Bell Street Garage. The favorable variance was offset by a loss of revenue for Bell Street Retail
leases due to vacancies associated with upcoming Cruise Terminal construction.

Total Economic Development Expenses were $2,312K favorable to budget. Key variances:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

Central Harbor expenses were $160K favorable due to lower than budgeted salaries & benefits of $50K
and lower utility expenses of $116K.
Conference & Event Centers were ($492K) unfavorable due to higher operating expenses and management
fee related to the higher than anticipated sales activities.
Eastside Rail Corridor expenses were $136K favorable to budget due to unspent funds budgeted for
appraisal and property management services.
Workforce Development was $1,037K favorable mainly due to timing of spending for Workforce
Development programs.
Economic Development Other was favorable $625Kprimarily due to $650K of budgeted Opportunity Fund
& business development expenses (offset by Tourism Grants, ED Partnership Grants, and sponsorship
spending), and lower than anticipated spending for consulting services of $116K.
Maintenance expenses were $366K favorable due to later start than expected on planned maintenance work
and cancellation of Bell Street Garage Power Wash $117K.
Corporate costs, direct and allocated, were favorable $234K primarily due to lower than anticipated direct
charges and allocations from Accounting & Financial Reporting $93K , Public Affairs $72K, ICT $46K, and
HR $43K which are partially offset by greater than anticipated charges from Executive ($48K).
All other variances net to a favorable variance of $245K.

Corporate revenues were $760K favorable compared to budget due to higher miscellaneous revenues.
•

Corporate expenses for the year-ended 2016 were $113.3M, $10.7M or 8.6% favorable compared to
budget and $8.3M or 7.9% higher than the same period a year ago. The $10.7M favorable variance is due to
vacant positions during the year, delayed hiring, and cost savings realized in most departments. The $8.3M
increase from prior year is due to higher Outside Services and charging less to capital projects than originally
anticipated due to delayed projects.
