Quarterly Report
Open in ViewerOpens in native device viewer
The first quarter of 2022 continued to be marked by the effects of the coronavirus pandemic but also by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Although the recovery in passenger demand slowed briefly in January due to the dynamic spread of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus, from February onwards the relaxation of travel restrictions was reflected in passenger development in the Fraport Group. A noticeable impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine was hardly discernible in the number of passengers at the Frankfurt site in the first quarter of 2022. Overall, passenger numbers at the Frankfurt site and at most international group airports recorded very high growth rates.
The ongoing traffic recovery led to a noticeable Group-wide increase in revenue. In the first quarter of 2022, Group revenue amounted to €539.6 million (+40.2%). Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue was €474.4 million (+€129.7 million). The increase based on traffic volumes is attributable to higher revenue from airport charges as well as higher revenue from infrastructure charges and ground services. In contrast, revenue from security services decreased due to the agreement with the German Federal Police, which was taken into account in the same period of the previous year.
Operating expenses (cost of materials and personnel expenses as well as other operating expenses) increased by €107.5 million to €485.3 million. Adjusted for IFRIC 12, operating expenses increased by €82.6 million to €420.1 million. This was mainly based on increased concession charges from higher traffic volumes, lower use of short-time working schedules and higher expenses for utility services.
Group EBITDA reached a value of €70.7 million (Q1 2021: €40.2 million). The financial result of -€103.0 million (Q1 2021: - €45.8 million) was negatively affected, among other things, by the write-down of a loan made to Thalita Trading Ltd. in the amount of €48.2 million in connection with the activities at St. Petersburg Airport. In contrast, the result from companies accounted for using the equity method increased mainly due to the write-up of the Group company Xi'an (+€20.0 million), which resulted from the agreement to dispose of 24.5% of the company shares. With income tax relief of €26.1 million (Q1 2021: €38.5 million), the Group result of -€118.2 million was below the previous year's level (Q1 2021: -77.5), due to positive one-off effects in the previous year and negative one-off effects in the first quarter of 2022.
Despite the clearly improved operating cash flow (+€217.0 million), free cash flow decreased to -€630.6 million (Q1 2021: -€495.0 million). This was due to capital contributions of €375.3 million to the joint venture that was established in connection with the tender for the operating concession at Antalya Airport awarded in December 2021. Net financial debt increased by €724.3 million to €7,094.0 million.
Following the end of the first quarter, the Executive Board maintains its overall forecasts for the fiscal year 2022 (see the "Business outlook" chapter).
Overall, the Executive Board continues to describe the operational and, in turn, financial development in the reporting period as positive yet difficult, given the overall economic developments.

In the first quarter of 2022, the number of passengers in Frankfurt was approximately 7.3 million passengers. The continued recovery in passenger demand was only temporarily affected by the impact of the Omicron variant of the coronavirus and led to a massive increase in passenger numbers compared to the same period the previous year. The increased lifting of travel restrictions and the opening of individual markets ensured growth in both intercontinental and European traffic, particularly in holiday travel.
At 511,155 metric tons, cargo traffic at Frankfurt Airport developed negatively in the first quarter of 2022 (-8.0%). This slight decline is due to, among other things, the ongoing lockdown in China due to the coronavirus pandemic as well as reduced airspace capacities as a result of the airspace closures imposed due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
In the reporting period, almost all international Group airports achieved growth, of, in some cases, more than one hundred percent compared to the previous year.
Group revenue amounted to €539.6 million in the first quarter of 2022, up €154.6 million on the previous year (Q1 2021: €385.0 million). Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue increased by €129.7 million to €474.4 million. The increase at the Frankfurt site based on traffic volumes is mainly due to higher revenue from airport charges (+€54.1 million) as well as higher revenue from infrastructure charges (+€21.8 million) and ground services (+€17.7 million). Revenue from security services, on the other hand, fell by €49.2 million to €37.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2021, as a special effect of €57.8 million from the agreement reached with the German Federal Police concerning billed aviation security services in recent years was taken into account in the previous year's period. Outside Frankfurt, contributions to adjusted revenue growth came from the Group companies Lima (+€28.2 million) and Fraport Greece (+€13.7 million) based on the positive traffic development.
At €6.8 million, other operating income was clearly below the level in the same period of the previous year of €23.5 million. In the previous year, this was mainly affected by the waiver of fixed minimum lease payments at the Group company Fraport USA in the amount of €11.6 million.
Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) were €238.3 million (+€68.4 million) in the first three months of 2022. Adjusted for expenses related to the application of IFRIC 12, non-staff expenses were €173.1 million (+€43.5 million). The increase is due in particular to higher revenue-related concession charges at the international Group companies (+€13.5 million) and higher expenses for utility services (+€10.1 million) as well as raw materials, consumables and supplies (+€4.7 million). In addition, expenses for external personnel increased based on traffic volumes, especially at the Group company FraGround by €4.8 million. Personnel expenses in the Group increased by €39.1 million to €247.0 million. This increase was due, in particular, to the traffic recovery and thus reduced use of short-time work schedules.
At €70.7 million, Group EBITDA was €30.5 million above the level in the same period of the previous year (+75.9%). Virtually unchanged depreciation and amortization of -€112.0 million (+1.4%) resulted in Group EBIT of -€41.3 million (Q1 2021: -€70.2 million).
The financial result amounted to -€103.0 million (Q1 2021: -€45.8 million). This decrease compared to the same quarter in the previous year is mainly due to the other financial result of -€48.7 million (Q1 2021: €0.4 million). This was negatively affected by the write-down of a loan made to Thalita Trading Ltd. in the amount of €48.2 million in connection with the activities at St. Petersburg Airport. Along with the write-down of €9.7 million recognized in fiscal year 2020, the total write-down amount is currently €57.9 million. This results in a carrying amount of €110.9 million of the loan receivable as of March 31, 2022. In addition, interest expenses increased (+€20.1 million), partly due to the extensive financing measures in fiscal year 2021. Interest income, on the other hand, fell by €10.6 million. In the previous year, interest income was positively influenced by €17.5 million due to the special effect of the agreement with the German Federal Police. In contrast, the result from companies accounted for using the equity method increased by €22.6 million to €7.3 million. The increase compared to the previous year is mainly attributable to the writeup of the Group company Xi'an (+€20.0 million) resulting from the disposal of shares and the agreed purchase price. The original write-down of the shares in the amount of €20,0 million took place in fiscal year 2019.
EBT amounted to -€144.3 million (Q1 2021: -€116.0 million). With income tax relief of €26.1 million (Q1 2021: €38.5 million), the Group result amounted to -€118.2 million (Q1 2021: -€77.5 million). This resulted in basic earnings per share of -€1.17 (Q1 2021: -€0.70).

In the first quarter of 2022, revenue in the Aviation segment amounted to €145.1 million and was thus above the level in the same period of the previous year by 4.4%. Due to the increased traffic volume, revenue from airport charges rose massively to €100.6 million (+€54.1 million). Revenue from security services, on the other hand, fell by €49.2 million to €37.1 million compared to the first quarter of 2021, as a special effect of €57.8 million from the agreement reached with the German Federal Police concerning billed aviation security services in recent years was taken into account in the previous year's period. Compared to the previous year, personnel expenses increased to €81.5 million (+€13.5 million), mainly due to the lower use of short-time work schedules in the reporting period. The cost of materials decreased by €2.4 million compared to the previous year. In the reporting period, Segment EBITDA amounted to -€13.5 million (-€12.9 million). Almost unchanged depreciation and amortization (+€0.1 million) led to EBIT of -€47.2 million (-€13.0 million).

Revenue in the Retail & Real Estate segment in the reporting period amounted to €85.3 million (+35.0%). This noticeably positive development was due to increased retail and parking revenue (+€13.6 million and +€5.1 million, respectively) as a result of passenger growth at Frankfurt Airport. Net retail revenue per passenger amounted to €3.52 (Q1 2021: €5.06). With operating expenses increasing by a total of €15.5 million, mainly due to higher expenses for utility services (+€8.9 million), EBITDA amounted to €59.9 million (+€11.0 million). With slightly reduced depreciation and amortization (-€0.3 mil-
lion), segment EBIT amounted to €37.9 million (+42.5%).

At €106.2 million, revenue in the Ground Handling segment in the first quarter of 2022 was 58.3% higher than the previous year. The increase in traffic at Frankfurt Airport led to higher revenue from infrastructure charges (+€21.8 million) and ground services (+€17.7 million). Personnel expenses increased by €16.2 million to €85.8 million compared to the same period of the previous year, mainly due to lower use of short-time work schedules. The cost of materials also in-
creased, by €7.0 million to €13.6 million, mainly due to more external personnel deployed at the Group company FraGround (+€4.8 million) based on higher traffic volumes. Correspondingly, EBITDA recorded a clear increase by €13.7 million to -€18.5 million. A virtually unchanged level of depreciation and amortization (-€0.1 million) led to EBIT of -€27.8 million (+€13.8 million).

Revenue in the International Activities & Services segment increased by €87.3 million to €203.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue amounted to €137.8 million (+82.8%). This was due to the positive traffic development at the Group's international airports. In particular, the Group company Lima and Fraport Greece benefited from the easing of travel restrictions
with revenue growth adjusted for IFRIC 12 of €28.2 million and €13.7 million, respectively. Personnel expenses increased by €8.3 million to €67.1 million mainly due to the reduced use of short-time work schedules. Non-staff costs in the segment increased by €50.5 million to €164.4 million (+44.3%) compared to the same quarter the previous year. Adjusted for the expenses relating to the application of IFRIC 12, non-staff expenses increased by €25.6 million to €99.2 million (+34.8%). This was due in particular to higher revenue-related concession charges, especially at the Group company Lima. Segment EBITDA increased by €18.7 million to €42.8 million (+77.6%). With slightly higher depreciation and amortization (+€1.9 million) compared to the previous year, segment EBIT rose to -€4.2 million (+€16.8 million).

5) Reclassified to "Non-current assets held for sale" as at December 31, 2021.
At €16,546.2 million, total assets as at March 31, 2022 were €306.2 million above the comparable value as at December 31, 2021 (+1.9%). Non-current assets increased by €758.3 million (+5.8%) to €13,749.6 million (+€363.8 million) compared to the 2021 balance sheet date, in particular due to the increased shares in companies accounted for using the equity method. This increase was mainly due to capital contributions (+€375.3 million) to the joint venture that was established in connection with the tender for the operating concession at Antalya Airport awarded in December 2021. In addition, other financial assets increased (+€151.0 million) as a result of investments in promissory note loans and securities. Investments in airport operating projects increased by €152.0 million compared to December 31, 2021 as a result of the ongoing expansion at the Group company Lima and due to currency exchange rate effects at the Group companies Fortaleza and Porto Alegre. In contrast, current assets decreased by €479.1 million to €2,649.9 million (-15.3%) This is mainly due to reduced cash and cash equivalents (-€522.3 million) due to capital expenditure in non-current assets.
Compared to the 2021 balance sheet date, shareholders' equity decreased to €3,842.5 million (-1.7%) mainly due to the negative Group result (-€118.2 million). In contrast, currency reserves increased by €52.9 million. The shareholders' equity ratio was at 22.3% (December 31, 2021: 23.1%). Non-current liabilities increased by €337.5 million to €11,232.9 million, in particular due to new additions of long-term financial liabilities to secure liquidity (+€322.4 million). Current liabilities increased by €34.3 million to €1,461.8 million (+2.4%). The increase in current financial liabilities (+€82.5 million) was offset in particular by lower trade accounts payable (-€52.9 million) as of the reporting date.
Gross debt was €10,338.9 million as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: €9,934.0 million). Liquidity decreased by €319.4 million to €3,244.9 million. Correspondingly, net financial debt increased by €724.3 million to €7,094.0 million (December 31, 2021: €6,369.7 million). The gearing ratio reached a level of 192.2% (December 31, 2021: 169.7%).
In the first quarter of 2022, a slightly positive cash flow from operating activities of €2.7 million (Q1 2021: cash outflow of -€214.3 million) was achieved. The improvement is due in particular to the payments recorded in the previous year in connection with the "Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50" program.
Cash flow used in investing activities without investments in cash deposits and securities amounted to €621.0 million, an increase of €343.6 million year-on-year. This increase was mainly due to capital contributions of €375.3 million to the joint venture that was established in connection with the tender for the operating concession at Antalya Airport awarded in December 2021. Taking into account capital expenditure in and revenue from securities and promissory note loans as well as capital expenditure in relation to time deposits, the overall cash flow used in investing activities was €389.7 million (Q1 2021: €1,339.2 million).
Compared to the previous year, cash flow used in financing activities decreased clearly by €1,422.1 million to €311.7 million. In the first quarter of 2021, clearly more extensive financing measures, including a bond issue, to secure liquidity were carried out compared to the current fiscal year. Taking into account exchange rate fluctuations and other changes, the Fraport Group reported cash and cash equivalents based on the statement of cash flows of €350.9 million as at March 31, 2022 (December 31, 2021: €405.1 million).
Free cash flow amounted to -€630.6 million (Q1 2021: -€495.0 million). This includes the capital contributions to the newly founded joint venture in Antalya.
In connection with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the tightening of sanctions against the VTB bank group in April 2022 may have a further significant negative impact on the valuation of the loan receivable from Thalita Trading Ltd.
There were no other significant events for the Fraport Group after the balance sheet date.
In the first quarter of 2022, the changes in risks and opportunities, as presented in the Risk and Opportunities Report in the Annual Report 2021 starting on page 119, are described in more detail below.
Russia's invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022 led to the EU, the United States and many other countries imposing farreaching sanctions, to which Russia also responded with sanctions of its own. This situation has a significant impact on Fraport's activities at Pulkovo Airport, which could possibly lead to the City of St. Petersburg terminating the concession agreement. Following the write-down of €48.2 million, uncertainties remain regarding the recoverability of financial assets in the low three-digit million range.
Another consequence of the Russian invasion are the negative effects on the global economy. The future course of the conflict cannot be adequately forecast at the present time. In particular, the possible tightening of sanctions and their global consequences may lead to supply bottlenecks, delayed demand, price increases and, as a result, recessionary economic developments. The resulting effects on the development of traffic and business at the Group sites and thus on the asset, financial and earnings position of the Fraport Group cannot yet be conclusively assessed. Nevertheless, there is a risk that the traffic recovery at the Group's international airports that have a high rate of Russian and Ukrainian passengers will be below the planned development.
The economic consequences of the Russian invasion and sanctions are also increasing across the globe. For example, there has been a sharp rise in energy costs, resulting in a significant increase in expenses at the Frankfurt site in the short and medium term, even on top of the inflation assumptions already included in the forecasts. In some cases, the increased inflation on the revenue side is already being passed on to customers, and further countermeasures are currently being initiated at the Frankfurt am Main site.
As part of the geopolitical conflicts, attacks on the IT infrastructure of companies are also increasing. As an operator of critical infrastructure in Germany, Fraport could come into focus as a target for cyber-attacks. Fraport counters this risk with extensive IT protection measures. In the event of a comprehensive, successful cyber-attack on the Fraport IT infrastructure, however, farreaching consequences could result for the operating business processes, and it cannot be ruled out that this would have significant negative financial effects on the results of operations of the Fraport Group.
After the end of the first quarter of 2022, the Executive Board maintains its forecasts for Group-wide traffic developments. Accordingly, the Executive Board maintains its forecasts for the Group's asset, financial and earnings position as well as for the projected segment development for the full year 2022 (see Outlook Report 2022 in the Annual Report 2021, page 130 et seqq).
