Valuation of Airport Concessions

The economic value of each concession is determined by the following issues:

    • Lease expiration date;
    • Percentage Rent;
    • Concession Concept;
    • MBE, DBE, or WBE status;
    • Net Cash Flow; and
    • Minimum Monthly Rent.

 

All airport concession leases decline in value monthly.  This is due to the fact that each firm which acquires an existing concession must be able to recover its investment (acquisition and build out cost) during the remaining term of the existing lease.   In fact, most existing concessions with less than 24 months before they expires has no value; if no renewal or extension is secured.

* The investment recovery period is the years remaining on the original lease.

 

** The  estimated market value assumes the concession is an "ongoing business concern" and the concept will not change.

 

Clearly, the number of months remaining on a concession

 lease is a critical factor in determining value.

 

Each month you delay the process of  marketing your

concession could cost you  between $5,000 to $12,000 in value.
