Ladies and gentlemen,

War is being waged in Europe once more. When Russian troops invaded Ukraine in violation of international law in the early morning of 24 February 2022, HHLA employees at the Port of Odessa were in the process of handling two ships. They completed this task as scheduled on behalf of our customers despite their concerns about relatives and the uncertainty about their own future and that of their country. For doing this, they deserve respect. The ships were able to leave Odessa before the Ukrainian authorities closed the port. Our primary concern afterwards was for our 480 employees and their relatives in Odessa. HHLA's employees in Hamburg stepped in here with an impressive demonstration of practical solidarity. Just one week after the war broke out, employees at our Container Terminal Odessa (CTO) and their relatives were brought to Hamburg. The majority of them were accommodated here with HHLA employees.

The current challenges can only be overcome if all participants in the logistics supply chain work together.

Operations at our terminal continue to be largely suspended. We are, of course, following news about military attacks on Odessa with particular concern. Much of the USD 170 million in capital expenditure between 2001 and today had already been amortised by the end of the 2020 financial year. In addition, HHLA hedged CTO against political risks by obtaining German government guarantees for foreign direct investment. These cover a significant portion of CTO's assets at present in the event of war or expropriation or if legally binding commitments are breached by government or government-controlled agencies. However, it is not just through the closure of the terminal in Odessa that we are affected by this unjustifiable war. In order to implement the sanctions imposed on Russia by the EU, measures at the Port of Hamburg have also been required. HHLA's terminals no longer handle containers coming from or destined for Russia. This also applies to cargo being transported by rail or road. As such, HHLA is following the example of terminal operators at other European ports. The existing uncertainty on the global markets created by the coronavirus pandemic has been amplified by the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The massive ship delays over several months as a result of supply chain disruptions have led to a backlog of containers at our terminal facilities in Hamburg. Since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic, HHLA has maintained the stability of

its operations through prudent and disciplined action, as well as various operational measures, and thus fulfilled its supply mandate for businesses and consumers. We have activated additional storage space for containers, and our personnel and equipment are currently operating at full capacity to meet the needs of our customers. However, the current challenges can only be overcome if all participants in the logistics supply chain work together.

Irrespective of the circumstances described above, HHLA got off to a good start in the 2022 financial year. At the HHLA container terminals, the total volume handled was 3.7 percent higher than in the previous year, and in Hamburg even 5.5 percent higher. This is a notable development, as throughput at other European ports such as Rotterdam or Antwerp was down over the same period. The Intermodal segment also achieved volume growth of 3.1 percent and increased its revenue by 11.3 percent. Based on these developments, we expect to achieve the targets we forecast in our outlook for the 2022 financial year. However, this depends on the possible impact on the global economy of a further intensification of the war in Ukraine.

Although we are living in difficult and unsettling times, we will continue to decisively and consistently take advantage of the opportunities provided by the digital transformation and the drive towards climate-neutrality in order to lead HHLA into a sustainable and economically successful future.

Yours,

Angela Titzrath Chairwoman of the Executive Board

Significant events and transactions

The first-time consolidation of 100 % of shares in the companies CL EUROPORT s.r.o., based in Plzen, Czech Republic, and CL EUROPORT Sp.z o.o., based in Malaszewicze, Poland, took place on the acquisition date of 4 January 2022. The companies were included in HHLA's consolidated group as fully consolidated companies as of 31 March 2022.

With the invasion by Russian troops on 24 February 2022, it must be assumed that the economic environment and economic development in Ukraine will deteriorate further. Moreover, it is still not possible to determine the impact on the global economy with any certainty. Consequently, effects may arise that could have a negative influence on the results of operations, net assets and financial position of the HHLA Group. The potential for future revaluations cannot be ruled out.

Within the Port Logistics and Real Estate subgroups, both the key economic indicators for the first quarter of 2022 and HHLA's actual economic performance were largely in line with the performance forecast in the 2021 combined management report .

There were no other particular events or transactions during the reporting period, either in HHLA's operating environment or within the Group, that had a significant impact on its results of operations, net assets and financial position. Results of operations, net assets and financial position

Earnings position

Container throughput at the HHLA container terminals increased moderately year-on-year by 3.7 % to 1,740 thousand TEU (previous year: 1,677 thousand TEU). The positive development at the terminals in Hamburg was essentially driven by an increase in the Far East shipping region – China in particular. In addition, the acquisition of a feeder service for the Baltic Sea sea region in the third quarter of 2021 and another two services in the first quarter of 2022 led to strong growth in feeder traffic volumes. This more than offset the collapse in volumes to and from Russia in March 2022 as a result of the sanctions imposed by the EU.

Throughput volumes at the international terminals fell significantly in the reporting period. This was due to the significant decline in cargo volumes at the terminal in Odessa after operations there were suspended by the authorities at the end of February following the Russian invasion.

Container transport also increased moderately by 3.1 % to 431 thousand TEU (previous year: 418 thousand TEU). A significant drop in road transport was opposed by substantial growth in rail transport.

HHLA Group revenue rose by 10.7 % to € 386.2 million in the reporting period (previous year: € 348.7 million). All segments contributed to this growth, which was stronger than the increases in the performance data. This was caused by a further rise in storage fees in the Container segment as a result of the backlog in the supply chain and by a further increase in the share of rail transport within the Intermodal segment.

Other operating income rose by 41.2 % to € 12.4 million (previous year: € 8.8 million). This increase was largely due to a refund of traction energy costs and additional route costs for rail transportation.

The 10.8 % rise in operating expenses to € 346.6 million (previous year: € 312.9 million) was virtually on a par with revenue growth. However, the degree of increase varied widely across the different types of expenses: whereas depreciation and amortisation were up only slightly, personnel expenses rose considerably as a result of higher container volumes and in particular the increase in personnel necessitated by maximum storage capacity utilisation. There was a significant increase in the cost of materials and other operating expenses. In addition to rising electricity and energy prices, the cost of materials was impacted by interruptions due to storm damage and disruptions to rail transport chains. Other operating expenses were influenced by increased costs for consultancy and services for ongoing projects.

The operating result (EBIT) rose by € 7.4 million or 15.9 % to € 53.7 million in the reporting period (previous year: € 46.3 million). The EBIT margin amounted to 13.9 % (previous year: 13.3 %). In the Port Logistics subgroup, EBIT rose by 13.6 % to € 49.2 million (previous year: € 43.3 million). In the Real Estate subgroup, EBIT climbed 51.1 % to € 4.4 million (previous year: € 2.9 million).

Net expenses from the financial result increased by € 0.8 million or 11.5 % to € 7.6 million (previous year: € 6.8 million).

Profit after tax was up 9.7 %, from € 28.2 million to € 30.9 million. Profit after tax and minority interests rose significantly to € 22.8 million (previous year: € 21.3 million). Earnings per share amounted to € 0.30 (previous year: € 0.29). The listed Port Logistics subgroup achieved earnings per share of € 0.28 (previous year: € 0.27). Earnings per share of the non-listed Real Estate subgroup were up strongly yearon-year at € 0.93 (previous year: € 0.63). The return on capital employed (ROCE) amounted to 9.5 % (previous year: 8.7 %).

Financial position

Compared to year-end 2021, the HHLA Group's balance sheet total increased by € 79.1 million to € 2,881.0 million as of 31 March 2022 (31 December 2021: € 2,801.9 million).

Non-current liabilities 1,707.3 1,730.2
Current liabilities 406.8 366.5
2,881.0 2,801.9

On the assets side of the balance sheet, non-current assets rose by € 12.2 million to € 2,306.2 million (31 December 2021: € 2,294.0 million). The increase was mainly due to property, plant and equipment, which also grew as a result of the firsttime consolidation of the new companies. The decrease in deferred taxes had an opposing effect. Current assets climbed by € 67.0 million to € 574.8 million (31 December 2021: € 507.9 million). This was mainly attributable to the increase in trade receivables, receivables from related parties and cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits.

On the liabilities side, equity rose by € 61.7 million to € 766.9 million compared to year-end 2021 (31 December 2021: € 705.2 million). The increase was mainly due to the interest rate-related change in actuarial gains including tax effects outside profit or loss and the positive result for the reporting period of € 30.9 million. The equity ratio increased to 26.6 % (31 December 2021: 25.2 %).

Non-current liabilities fell by € 22.9 million to € 1,707.3 million (31 December 2021: € 1,730.2 million). The decline resulted primarily from the interest rate-related change in pension provisions. The increase in non-current financial liabilities had the opposite effect. The rise in current liabilities of € 40.3 million to € 406.8 million (31 December 2021: € 366.5 million) is primarily a result of the increase in trade liabilities and other non-financial liabilities.

Investment analysis

The investment volume in the reporting period totalled € 53.3 million, well above last year's figure of € 42.7 million. Capital expenditure in the first three months of 2022 focused mainly on the procurement of large-scale equipment for horizontal transport and storage cranes and on the expansion of storage space at HHLA's container terminals, primarily in the Port of Hamburg. Investments were also made in the expansion of the hinterland terminals and the purchase of locomotives for the METRANS Group, as well as in the development of the Speicherstadt historical warehouse district in Hamburg.

Liquidity analysis

Cash flow from operating activities rose by € 20.9 million to € 89.1 million as of 31 March 2022 (previous year: € 68.2 million). This was mainly due to the year-on-year increase in EBIT and in trade liabilities and other liabilities, as well as to lower income tax payments. There was an opposing effect from the year-on-year rise in trade receivables and other assets.

Investing activities led to a net cash outflow of € 30.8 million (previous year: € 42.4 million). This was largely due to proceeds (previous year: payments) from short-term deposits. There was an opposing effect from the year-on-year increase in payments for investments in property, plant and equipment.

Cash flow from financing activities amounted to € 1.0 million, representing a change of € 25.0 million compared with the prior-year figure of € - 24.0 million. This was primarily due to new financial loans of € 20.0 million, compared to the same period last year, and lower payments for the redemption of financial loans.

Financial funds totalled € 232.2 million as of 31 March 2022 (previous year: € 170.8 million). Including all short-term deposits, the Group's available liquidity at the end of the first quarter of 2022 amounted to € 272.2 million (previous year: € 211.8 million). As of 31 March 2022, available liquidity comprised cash pooling receivables from HGV Hamburger Gesellschaft für Vermögens- und Beteiligungsmanagement amounting to € 102.3 million (previous year: € 77.5 million) as well as cash, cash equivalents and short-term deposits of € 170.0 million (previous year: € 134.3 million).

In the first quarter of 2022, container throughput at HHLA's container terminals increased moderately year-on-year by 3.7 % to 1,740 thousand standard containers (TEU) (previous year: 1,677 thousand TEU).

At 1,618 thousand TEU, throughput volume at the Hamburg container terminals was up 5.5 % on the same period last year (previous year: 1,533 thousand TEU). This positive development was essentially driven by an increase in the Far East shipping region – China in particular. In addition, the acquisition of a feeder service for the Baltic Sea region in the third quarter of 2021 and another two services in the first quarter of 2022 led to strong growth in feeder traffic volumes. This more than offset the collapse in volumes to and from Russia in March 2022 as a result of the sanctions imposed by the EU. Feeder services accounted for 21.2 % of seaborne handling in the first quarter of 2022, which was significantly higher than in the previous year (previous year: 19.7 %).

Although TK Estonia recorded significant volume growth of around 30 % in the first quarter and PLT Italy achieved additional throughput volume after handling its first container ship in December, total throughput volume at the international container terminals decreased by 15.3 % to 122 thousand TEU (previous year: 144 thousand TEU). This was due to the significant decline in cargo volumes at the terminal in Odessa after operations there were suspended by the authorities at the end of February following the Russian invasion.

Segment revenue rose significantly year-on-year by 9.2 % to € 216.4 million in the first three months of 2022 (previous year: € 198.1 million). Moderate volume growth was outpaced by a significant increase in average revenue. The latter resulted from additional revenue from RoRo and bulk cargo handling at PLT Italy and in particular from the significant rise in storage fees at the container terminals in Hamburg and Tallinn. The increase in storage fees was due to longer dwell times caused by backlogs in the supply chain.

EBIT costs increased significantly by 8.0 % year-on-year during the reporting period. The additional costs resulted from higher expenses for consultancy and services as well as from a strong rise in the cost of materials due to increased electricity and fuel prices prompted by the additional throughput volume. EBIT costs at the terminal in Trieste also rose considerably due to the terminal becoming fully operational compared with the first quarter of the previous year.

The operating result (EBIT) increased by 15.5 % to € 37.8 million (previous year: € 32.7 million). This was attributable to the above mentioned rise in average revenue and the positive volume trend. The negative developments at the Container Terminal Odessa (CTO) and their impact on earnings were more than offset by the other terminals. The EBIT margin rose by 0.9 percentage points to 17.4 %.

HHLA has continued to invest in climate-friendly handling equipment and container terminals in 2022. At the Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA), the fleet was expanded with the addition of four more lower-emission, battery-powered automated guided vehicles (AGVs). Another six vehicles are due to arrive this year. This will complete the process of switching to battery-powered electric AGVs. In addition, the procurement process is underway for two more battery-powered tractor units. A field test was conducted to examine the potential for the AGVs' electricity storage devices to contribute to grid stability. A further eight hybrid transport vehicles were ordered for the Container Terminal Tollerort (CTT). These consume significantly less fuel than diesel-powered vehicles. The conversion of the coal shipping port to create additional storage space is to be completed before the end of 2022. A hydrogen fuel station will be built on part of the site in future. The Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB) continued to drive the expansion of the block storage system and the development of the AGV area, thus also contributing to ongoing efforts to modernise and enhance the efficiency of the terminals.

Container transport
in thousand TEU 431 418 3.1 %

In the highly competitive market for container traffic in the hinterland of major seaports, HHLA's transport companies recorded moderate volume growth in the first three months of 2022. Container transport increased in total by 3.1 % to 431 thousand standard containers (TEU) (previous year: 418 thousand TEU). Rail transport rose significantly by 7.3 % year-on-year to 361 thousand TEU (previous year: 336 thousand TEU). Traffic from the North German seaports achieved strong growth, while the volume transported from the Adriatic seaports increased moderately. Following a substantial recovery in the second half of 2021, road transport fell strongly in the first quarter of 2022. In a persistently challenging market environment, transport volumes decreased year-on-year by 13.8 % to 71 thousand TEU (previous year: 82 thousand TEU).

With year-on-year growth of 11.3 % to € 138.7 million (previous year: € 124.7 million), revenue growth was considerably stronger than the increase in transport volumes. This was due to the further rise in the rail share of HHLA's total intermodal transportation from 80.4 % to 83.6 % and a change in the structure of freight flows.

The operating result (EBIT) rose by 0.2 % to € 21.6 million in the reporting period (previous year: € 21.6 million). The EBIT margin fell by 1.7 percentage points to 15.6 % (previous year: 17.3 %). The main reason for this weak EBIT performance was the strong rise in energy prices. Operational interruptions due to storm damage in February and the disruptions to international transport chains also had a negative impact on earnings.

The operating result (EBIT) amounted to € - 0.7 million in the reporting period (previous year: € - 0.7 million). Earnings were adversely affected by start-up losses in connection with new activities.

Total revenues of those companies included in at-equity earnings fell in the first three months of 2022. At-equity earnings amounted to € 0.6 million, compared to € 1.1 million in the previous year.

The impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on the market for office space in Hamburg was not yet felt in the first quarter of 2022. According to Grossmann & Berger's latest market report, 135,000 m 2 of office space was let as of 31 March 2022, up 3.8 % on the previous year. The vacancy rate in Hamburg decreased year-on-year to 3.5 % (previous year: 3.8 %).

HHLA's properties in the Speicherstadt historical warehouse district and the fish market area maintained their stable trend with almost full occupancy in the first quarter of the current financial year.

Revenue rose significantly by 17.4 % to € 10.7 million in the reporting period (previous year: € 9.1 million). In addition to the reactivation of revenue-based rent agreements, the increase was due in part to rising rental income from newly developed properties in the Speicherstadt historical warehouse district.

The cumulative operating result (EBIT) rose by 51.1 % to € 4.4 million in the reporting period (previous year: € 2.9 million). In addition to the increase in revenue, this positive earnings trend was also due to lower maintenance costs.

Changes in business forecast

There were no new events of material importance in the reporting period. The disclosures made in the 2021 Annual Report regarding the expected course of business in 2022 continue to apply.

The 2021 Annual Report is available online at: https://report.hhla.de/annual-report-2021

This Interim Statement, including its supplemental financial information, should be read in conjunction with the 2021 Annual Report of Hamburger Hafen und Logistik Aktiengesellschaft (HHLA). Basic information about the Group and its consolidation, accounting and valuation principles can be found in the HHLA 2021 Annual Report. This document also contains forward-looking statements that are based on the current assumptions and expectations of the HHLA management team. Forward-looking statements are indicated through the use of words such as expect, intend, plan, anticipate, assume, believe, estimate and other similar formulations. These statements are not guarantees that these predictions will prove to be correct. The future development and the actual results achieved by HHLA and its affiliated companies are dependent on a wide range of risks and uncertainties and may therefore deviate greatly from the forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are outside of HHLA's control and therefore cannot be accurately estimated, such as the future economic environment and the actions of competitors and others involved in the marketplace. HHLA neither plans nor undertakes any special obligation to update the forward-looking statements.
