Ladies and gentlemen,

We are living in an unparalleled time. A time of restrictions and uncertainty, but also a time that offers us the opportunity to search for new solutions. And this desire to seek new possibilities has always been a key part of HHLA's DNA. In view of the situation caused by the coronavirus pandemic, it is more important than ever to take a fresh approach. We need to get used to the idea that there will be no return to the times before the outbreak of this pandemic.

In its 135-year history, HHLA has mastered many a crisis. We will once again find ways to ensure the company can achieve success in a new reality.

What will this new reality look like? And what does it mean for our company's performance? The external conditions for our business have been changing for some time due to a range of factors and political decisions. Moreover, we are continuing to align ourselves with customer needs and working to improve the productivity and quality of our services.

HHLA has the strength and the experience to master such difficult situations. Our employees are proving this, for example, by displaying common sense and discipline to comply with public health regulations – thus helping us maintain business operations at our facilities. As part of the nation's critical infrastructure, we are well aware of our responsibility to ensure stable supplies for companies and consumers. We supply Germany and Europe.

We lived up to this responsibility in the early part of the year when another unforeseeable event impacted our business in both the Container and Intermodal segments: severe storms across northern Europe restricted shipping and operations at several European ports, putting additional strain on logistics chains even before the coronavirus pandemic. In this critical situation, our facilities proved themselves to be a reliable buffer between various players along the logistic transport chains.

Despite all these measures and efforts, however, the storms and rapid spread of the coronavirus pandemic have left their mark on our performance figures. In the first quarter of 2020, the year-on-year decreases in revenue, EBIT and EBIT margin were significant in some cases. We are currently adapting to a situation that we have never experienced in our company history and one that we cannot influence. However, this will spur us on to work even harder in implementing our strategic objectives.

HHLA has a firm foundation for the future. Despite the strains placed on us by the pandemic, we have sufficient liquidity to meet our payment obligations. We will continue to strengthen our core business while at the same time identifying and developing new growth areas within the Group. To ensure the rapid success of these efforts, we restructured the Logistics segment at the beginning of the year. In future, key digital projects and shareholdings will be managed by this segment.

In its 135-year history, HHLA has mastered many a crisis. We will once again find ways to ensure the company can achieve success in a new reality.

Yours,

Angela Titzrath Chairwoman of the Executive Board

Significant events and transactions

The impact of the coronavirus pandemic on HHLA's earnings position in the first quarter of the financial year was significant but had no material impact on the recognition or measurement of the Group's assets and liabilities as of 31 March 2020.

Within the Port Logistics subgroup, both the key economic indicators reported for the first three months of 2020 and HHLA's actual economic performance were largely in line with the performance forecast in the 2019 Annual Report. With regard to the Real Estate subgroup, the development outlined in the 2019 Annual Report for the first three months of 2020 is not yet visible. 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

The development of HHLA's performance data in the first quarter of 2020 was already affected by the global coronavirus pandemic. Container throughput decreased moderately by 3.7 % year-on-year to 1,796 thousand TEU (previous year: 1,865 thousand TEU). This decline was mitigated by strong throughput at the start of the year and was limited to the container terminals in Hamburg. Throughput at the international terminals was at about the same level as last year, although there were strong regional variations in the first quarter. Container transport decreased significantly by 5.1 % to 378 thousand TEU (previous year: 398 thousand TEU). The drop in road transport was severe, whereas for rail transport it was more moderate.

The 3.4 % decrease in the HHLA Group's revenue to € 335.7 million (previous year: € 347.6 million) was slightly less than the fall in performance data. One reason for this was that the coronavirus pandemic had not yet affected revenue of the Real Estate segment.

Other operating income amounted to € 8.3 million (previous year: € 8.4 million).

Operating expenses rose by 3.7 % to € 309.0 million (previous year: € 298.1 million). This opposing trend to the performance data and revenue was due to the development of union wage rates, as well as an increase in headcount and depreciation charges.

There was a strong decrease in the operating result (EBIT) of € 23.0 million or 38.6 % to € 36.7 million during the reporting period (previous year: € 59.7 million). The EBIT margin amounted to 10.9 % (previous year: 17.2 %). In the Port Logistics subgroup, EBIT declined by 41.7 % to € 32.5 million (previous year: € 55.7 million). The Real Estate subgroup achieved EBIT growth of 6.0 % to € 4.1 million (previous year: € 3.9 million).

Net expenses from the financial result increased by € 3.0 million, or 38.0 %, to € 10.9 million (previous year: € 7.9 million).

Profit after tax and minority interests was significantly lower than the previous year at € 10.1 million (previous year: € 29.4 million). Earnings per share amounted to € 0.14 (previous year: € 0.40). The listed Port Logistics subgroup achieved earnings per share of € 0.11 (previous year: € 0.39). Earnings per share of the non-listed Real Estate subgroup were up on the prior-year figure at € 0.91 (previous year: € 0.83). Return on capital employed (ROCE) reached 7.0 % (previous year: 12.0 %).

Financial position

Balance sheet analysis

Compared with year-end 2019, the HHLA Group's balance sheet total declined by € 2.6 million to € 2,607.4 million as of 31 March 2020 (31 December 2019: € 2,610.0 million).

Balance sheet structure

in € million 31.03.2020 31.12.2019
Assets
Non-current assets 2,108.0 2,124.3
Current assets 499.4 485.7
2,607.4 2,610.0
Equity and liabilities
Equity 617.3 578.9
Non-current liabilities 1,678.7 1,749.8
Current liabilities 311.4 281.3
2,607.4 2,610.0

On the assets side of the balance sheet, non-current assets decreased by € 16.3 million to € 2,108.0 million, primarily due to adjustments in deferred taxes (31 December 2019: € 2,124.3 million). Current assets increased by € 13.7 million to € 499.4 million (31 December 2019: € 485.7 million). This was largely attributable to the increase in trade receivables.

On the liabilities side, equity rose by € 38.4 million to € 617.3 million compared to the year-end figure for 2019 (31 December 2019: € 578.9 million). The increase was largely due to interest rate adjustments to pension provisions and to the positive result for the reporting period. There was an opposing effect from foreign currency translation differences. The equity ratio rose by 1.5 percentage points to 23.7 % (31 December 2019: 22.2 %).

Non-current liabilities decreased by € 71.1 million to € 1,678.7 million (31 December 2019: € 1,749.8 million). Primarily as a result of the interest rate adjustment, pension provisions decreased by € 41.4 million compared to 31 December 2019. Furthermore, non-current financial liabilities decreased by € 21.1 million and non-current liabilities to related parties by € 9.6 million. Current liabilities increased by € 30.1 million to € 311.4 million, primarily as a result of the increase in trade liabilities, other liabilities and current financial liabilities (31 December 2019: € 281.3 million).

Investment analysis

Capital expenditure in the reporting period totalled € 51.0 million, well above the prior-year figure of € 35.4 million. The acquisition by METRANS of locomotives and container wagons, the procurement of container gantry cranes, storage cranes and large-scale equipment for horizontal transport at the HHLA container terminals in the Port of Hamburg and Odessa, as well as the development of the Hamburg Speicherstadt historical warehouse district accounted for a major share of capital expenditure in the first quarter of 2020.

Liquidity analysis

Cash flow from operating activities declined by € 15.5 million to € 78.9 million as of 31 March 2020 (previous year: € 94.4 million). This was primarily due to the decrease in EBIT.

Investing activities led to cash outflow of € 64.3 million (previous year: € 47.9 million). This development was primarily the result of the year-on-year increase in payments for investments in property, plant and equipment, with lower payments for short-term deposits having an opposing effect.

Cash flow from financing activities was virtually unchanged with cash outflows of € 18.9 million (previous year: € 18.7 million).

Financial funds totalled € 202.1 million as of 31 March 2020 (31 March 2019: € 282.3 million). Including all short-term deposits, the Group's available liquidity at the end of the first quarter of 2020 amounted to € 257.1 million (31 March 2019: € 322.3 million).

Container throughput in
thousand TEU
1,796 1,865 - 3.7 %

During the first three months of 2020, the throughput volume at HHLA's container terminals decreased by 3.7 % to 1,796 thousand standard containers (TEU) (previous year: 1,865 thousand TEU).

At the three Hamburg container terminals, throughput volume was down 4.1 % on the same period last year at 1,652 thousand TEU (previous year: 1,722 thousand TEU). Ship delays resulting from the severe storms over Northern Europe and the first wave of blank sailings resulting from the coronavirus pandemic led to a moderate decrease in cargo volumes from the Far East. Feeder traffic with the Baltic region decreased markedly and could not be offset by growth in the German shipping region. There was a corresponding decline in the proportion of seaborne handling by feeders of 2.6 percentage points to 20.9 % (previous year: 23.5 %). Handling volumes at the international container terminals in Odessa and Tallinn were on a par with the previous year at 144 thousand TEU (previous year: 143 thousand TEU).

Revenue decreased year-on-year by 2.6 % to € 195.6 million in the first quarter of 2020 (previous year: € 200.9 million). This was primarily caused by a decrease in volumes due to the pandemic. The average revenue per container handled at the quayside rose by 1.1 % year-on-year. This resulted from an advantageous modal split with a high proportion of hinterland volumes and a temporary increase in storage fees due to longer dwell times brought about by weather-related delays.

EBIT costs increased by 4.1 % year-on-year during the reporting period. In addition to higher service and energy costs, this was largely due to increased personnel expenses. The latter was mainly a result of rising hinterland volumes, adjustments to the company pension scheme and lower productivity as a result of increased storage capacity utilisation.

Primarily due to falling volumes, the operating result (EBIT) declined by € 12.0 million or 31.7 % year-on-year to € 25.8 million (previous year: € 37.8 million). The EBIT margin decreased by 5.6 percentage points to 13.2 %.

In the first quarter of 2020, HHLA continued to invest in climatefriendly handling equipment. At the Container Terminal Altenwerder (CTA), further diesel-powered automated guided vehicles (AGVs) were replaced by lower-emission batterypowered AGVs. With the expansion of its block storage system, the Container Terminal Burchardkai (CTB) contributed to the further modernisation of our terminals. The other HHLA terminals both in Germany and abroad also invested in site expansion and more energy-efficient equipment.

EBIT margin in % 14.7 20.4 - 5.7 pp
Container transport in thousand
TEU 378 398 - 5.1 %

In the highly competitive market for container traffic in the hinterland of major seaports, HHLA's transport companies recorded significantly lower volumes in the first quarter of 2020. Container transport decreased by 5.1 % to 378 thousand standard containers (TEU) (previous year: 398 thousand TEU). The decrease in road transport was much more marked than that of rail transport. Rail transport declined yearon-year by 3.3 % to 300 thousand TEU (previous year: 310 thousand TEU). The significant fall in maritime traffic from both the North German and Adriatic seaports was partially offset by strong growth in continental traffic. The downward trend of the previous quarters continued for road traffic. Largely due to weak growth in the Hamburg region and a persistently challenging market environment, road transport volumes fell by 11.4 % year-on-year to 78 thousand TEU (previous year: 88 thousand TEU).

The 5.8 % year-on-year decline in revenue to € 116.8 million (previous year: € 123.9 million) was therefore slightly stronger than the decrease in transport volume. Despite a slight increase in the rail share of HHLA's total intermodal transportation from 77.9 % to 79.4 %, average revenue per TEU decreased as a result of the disproportionately strong decrease in freight flows with longer transport distances.

The operating result (EBIT) fell by 31.9 % to € 17.2 million in the reporting period (previous year: € 25.3 million). This marked decrease was primarily due to decreases in volume and revenue, as well as to increased fluctuations in import and export cargo with a resulting fall in capacity utilisation of rail systems.

Logistics segment

Key figures

Revenue 14.2 14.3 - 0.7 %
EBITDA 1.1 2.0 - 46.9 %

EBIT - 0.6 0.7 - 187.1 %
EBIT margin in % - 4.2 4.8 - 9.0 pp
At-equity earnings 0.4 1.1 - 65.3 %

With a 0.7 % decrease to € 14.2 million, revenue of the consolidated companies in the first quarter was on a par with the prioryear figure (previous year: € 14.3 million). There was a significant revenue decline in the vehicle logistics division. However, this was largely offset by growth in consulting and revenue from additive manufacturing technologies not included in the previous year's figures.

The operating result (EBIT) of the first quarter was burdened by start-up losses in new growth areas. Following a positive result of € 0.7 million, the Logistics segment posted a loss of € 0.6 million in the reporting period.

Revenues of those companies included in at-equity earnings decreased significantly in the reporting period. At-equity earnings continued to be positive at € 0.4 million, but declined significantly (previous year: € 1.1 million).

Real Estate segment

Key figures

EBIT 4.1 3.9 6.0 %
EBIT margin in % 40.3 39.5 0.8 pp

In the first quarter of 2020, Hamburg's office rental market recorded a year-on-year decline in revenue as a result of the coronavirus pandemic. According to Grossmann & Berger's latest market report, 95,000 m² of office space was let – approximately 30 % less than the prior-year figure of 135,000 m². The market is expected to remain weak for the rest of the year. Despite a slight increase in rental space available, the vacancy rate in Hamburg declined slightly year-on-year from 3.2 % to 3.0 %.

In a declining market environment, HHLA's properties in the Speicherstadt historical warehouse district and the fish market area recorded stable revenue growth, as yet unaffected by the coronavirus pandemic. As in the previous year, there was virtually full occupancy in both quarters and revenue increased moderately once again by 4.0 % year-on-year to € 10.1 million (previous year: € 9.8 million).

As a result of revenue growth in both quarters and unchanged maintenance costs, the cumulative operating result (EBIT) increased by 6.0 % to € 4.1 million (previous year: € 3.9 million).

Changes in business forecast

There were no new events of material importance in the reporting period. The disclosures made in the 2019 Annual Report regarding the expected course of business in 2020 continue to apply.

This Interim Statement was published on 12 May 2020. http://report.hhla.de/interim-statement-q1-2020

The 2019 Annual Report is available online at: http://report.hhla.de/annual-report-2019 .

This Interim Statement, including its supplemental financial information, should be read in conjunction with the 2019 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 2019 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.
