COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The Company continues to remain focused on the health and safety of customers and employees, while maintaining the highway and open-access to an essential transportation corridor. During the second quarter of 2020, traffic levels across Highway 407 ETR have been significantly impacted, with average trip volume reductions of 67%, relative to 2019 traffic levels. With the phased reopening of the Province and GTA businesses, the Company has observed modest but steady improvements in traffic volumes as compared to the earlier periods of the pandemic. In late March, average traffic volume was lower by approximately 75% relative to 2019 traffic levels. By comparison, traffic volume was lower by approximately 55% at the end of June 2020 compared with June 2019. Despite the impact of lower revenues due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company maintains sufficient liquidity to satisfy all of its obligations during 2020.

During the second quarter of 2020, 407 International made a significant charitable contribution to support the COVID-19 relief measures at hospitals and across the community.
