General Economic Environment

The global economy grew by only 2.6 % in 2011 (source: EIU). The fourth quarter 2011 was particularly weak, with the EU economy contracting by 0.3 % compared with the third quarter and the growth rate of the emerging markets also lower than the high level predicted. The USA recorded growth of 0.7 % between the third and fourth quarters 2011.

The forecast for economic growth in 2012 is 2.1 % (source: EIU).

The price of oil (WTI) has been rising sharply since the beginning of 2012 and stood at US dollar 105 per barrel at the end of the first quarter 2012. This increase was attributable to tensions between Iran and the West on the one hand and strong demand from Asia on the other. A persistently high oil price would almost certainly have a negative impact on the growth rate forecast for the global economy in 2012.

The US dollar is particularly important for MTU's international business. During the first quarter of 2012 it performed weakly against the euro, losing ground continually from the beginning of the year. The average rate of the US dollar to the euro during the three-month period (US \$ 1.31) was significantly lower than in the same period last year (US \$1.37). Reference is made to section 3.2 (Operating results, financial situation and net assets) of the Interim Group Management Report for comments on the impact of changes in exchange rate parities.

Sector environment

The airlines generated a profit of US dollar 7.9 billion in 2011 on revenues totalling US dollar 600 billion. Their aggregated profit was therefore almost double the amount still being forecast by the IATA in mid-2011.

The year 2012 began with a sharp increase in air traffic volumes. Passenger numbers worldwide rose by 5.7 % in January 2012 compared with January 2011, and in February by as much as 8.6 % compared with the previous year. Global freight traffic fell by 8 % in January due to the Chinese New Year holiday. In February 2012, it grew by 5.2 % compared to February 2011.

The IATA published its new financial forecast for 2012 in March, predicting growth in worldwide passenger numbers of 4.2 %.

It forecasts that the airlines will generate a net profit of approximately US dollar 3 billion in 2012. The high price of oil is likely to have a severe impact on the airlines' earnings, as will the fact that aviation is now included in the European Emissions Trading System.

The already high level of the order-book for aircraft climbed again during the first quarter 2012, rising to 9,020 aircraft, an increase of 4.9 % compared to the end of the fourth quarter 2011. 268 aircraft were handed over to customers during the first quarter 2012. This represented a 20 % increase on the first quarter 2011, during which 223 aircraft were delivered. With these figures, Airbus and Boeing are on course to achieve their targets for 2012: the two aircraft manufacturers wish to raise deliveries in 2012 by 15 % compared to the previous year to 1,165 units.

The market for business jets continued to be disappointing. Deliveries fell by 6 % in 2011, the volume of flight movements is stagnating, while the market for pre-owned aircraft has become overheated. That said, the segment for medium-weight business jets, in which MTU predominantly operates, has stabilized somewhat. New products coming onto to the market in 2012 should help to revive demand.

1 The enterprise MTU

MTU Aero Engines Holding AG, Munich, along with its consolidated group of companies (hereafter referred to as "MTU", "group", "enterprise" or "company") is Germany's leading engine manufacturer and one of the world's largest.

2 Research and development

Technological changes within the aviation sector take place at an extremely rapid pace and require a continuous source of innovation. Research and development expenditure will remain at a high level during the financial years 2012 and 2013. Firstquarter expenditure on research and development increased to € 67.6 million. The research and development ratio – measured as R&D expenditure divided by revenues – was unchanged at 9.7 %.

Reserch and development (before amounts capitalized) 67.6 64.5 3.1 4.8
R&D ratio (as % of revenus) 9.7 9.7

The amounts invested are sub-divided into company-funded and externally funded R&D expenditure. Company-funded expenditure is borne by the group whereas externally funded expenditure is paid for by customers. Company-funded expenditure is reported in the table below and in section 8 of the Selected Explanatory Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements as R&D expense. Externally funded R&D activities are accounted for as construction contract receivables or payables in accordance with IAS 11 due to the fact that the work is commissioned specifically by national and international consortia. R&D expenses of € 67.6 million (January - March 2011: € 64.5 million) included € 39.8 million (January - March 2011: € 40.4 million) relating to companyfunded R&D expenditure. Of this amount, € 38.7 million (January - March 2011: € 38.6 million) related to Commercial and Military Engines business (OEM). A total of € 11.0 million (January - March 2011: € 5.3 million) relating to the GE38 and PW1100G engine programs was recognized as capitalized developments costs.

The first-quarter expense for Commercial Maintenance business was € 1.1 million (January - March 2011: € 1.8 million)

The following table includes the own-financed research and development expense reported in the income statement (see section 8 of the Selected Explanatory Notes).

3 Financial Situation

3.1 Order backlog and value of MRO contracts (order volume)

MTU's order backlog consists of firm orders placed by customers which commit the group to delivering products or providing services plus the contractually agreed order value of maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) contracts.

The order backlog at March 31, 2012 amounting to € 11.2 billion (December 31, 2011: € 10.5 billion) corresponds to a workload of approximately three years.

3.2 Operating results, financial situation and net assets

Revenues

Compared with corresponding quarter last year, revenues for the first quarter of 2012 rose by € 33.2 million (5.0 %) to € 698.0 million. While Commercial and Military Engine business revenues slipped by € 8.9 million (2.1 %) to € 412.1 million, Commercial Maintenance business revenues climbed by € 41.6 million (16.5 %) to € 293.2 million. Adjusted for the US dollar impact (i.e. using the same exchange rate as in the previous year), first-quarter group revenues would have increased by € 9.1 million (1.4 %).

Cost of sales and gross profit

Cost of sales for the first three months of 2012 went up by € 24.2 million (4.6 %) to € 554.3 million. The first-quarter gross profit improved as a result by € 9.0 million (6.7 %) to € 143.7 million. The gross profit margin improved accordingly to 20.6 % (January - March 2011: 20.3 %).

Financial result

The net interest result for the first three months of the year showed an improvement of € 3.7 million compared to the first quarter last year, mainly due to the conversion/redemption of the convertible bond which fell due on February 1, 2012. During the first quarter 2012 the convertible bond totalling € 152.7 million was partially (€ 90.1 million) converted into shares of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG, Munich, and the remainder (€ 62.6 million) redeemed.

As a result of the US dollar/euro exchange rate, other financial result contains mostly fair gains on currency holdings and from the measurement of financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.

Overall, the first-quarter financial result improved by € 15.7 million compared to the previous year to a net expense of € 4.9 million.

Earnings before taxes (EBT)

As a result of higher earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) and the improved financial result, earnings before taxes (EBT) for the first quarter jumped by € 27.5 million (55.8 %) to € 76.8 million (January – March 2011: € 49.3 million).

Earnings after taxes (EAT)

Earnings after taxes (EAT) rose to € 54.0 million (January – March 2011: € 33.5 million), in line with the improvement in earnings before taxes (EBT). At € 56.9 million, adjusted earnings before taxes (EAT adjusted) were also higher than in the previous year (January – March 2011: € 47.5 million).

Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income

In the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, earnings after taxes (EAT) of € 54.0 million (January – March 2011: € 33.5 million) are reconciled to the comprehensive income for the period of € 73.8 million (January – March 2011: € 61.6 million). Income and expenses recognized directly in equity in the first quarter 2012 (net of deferred taxes) comprise a positive impact of € 19.6 million (January - March 2011: € 33.5 million) from the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments, a positive impact of € 0.1 million (January - March 2011: negative impact of € 5.3 million) from the currency translation of the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries and a positive impact of € 0.1 million (January - March 2011: negative impact of € 0.1 million) resulting from fair value gains on available-for-sale financial assets.

Financial position

The principles and objectives of financial management, as described in the Annual Report 2011 (page 94 onwards), remain unchanged.

The Group's external financing comprises mainly loans, credit lines available from banks and the issue of three promissory notes. During the quarter under report, the convertible bond amounting to € 152.7 million was extinguished by converting € 90.1 million into shares of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG and repaying € 62.6 million.

At March 31, 2012, the MTU Group has access to credit facilities of € 100.0 million with two banks. Of these credit facilities, € 11.4 million (December 31, 2011: € 12.4 million) were being utilized at March 31, 2012 for guarantees.

Free cash flow

MTU manages liquidity using the key performance indicator "Free cash flow". Free cash flow is defined by the group as the cash inflow from operating activities less cash outflow for investments in intangible assets, property, plant and equipment and financial assets. Investments in financial assets which are not measured at fair value through profit or loss are not taken into account in the calculation of free cash flow since such investments can be sold at any time and are held as a liquidity reserve. During the first quarter of 2012, free cash flow fell by € 36.7 million to € 34.2 million (January – March 2011: € 70.9 million).

Cash flow from operating activities

The cash flow from operating activities for the first three months of 2012 decreased by € 30.6 million to € 63.4 million (January - March 2011: € 94.0 million), primarily as a result of higher amounts tied up in working capital the higher amount of provisions utilized with cash-flow effect.

Cash flow from investing activities

The cash outflow for investing activities for the first quarter was € 9.2 million compared with € 51.8 million in the previous year. First-quarter investments in property, plant and equipment increased to € 19.5 million (January - March 2011: € 16.2 million). The cash outflow for intangible assets amounted to € 9.8 million (January - March 2011: € 6.3 million) and related mainly to capitalized development costs for the PW1100G und GE38 engine programs and for maintenance techniques.

Proceeds from the sale of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment during the first three months of 2012 totalled € 0.1 million (January - March 2011: € 0.3 million).

Cash flow from financing activities

The cash outflow from financing activities during the period from January to March 2012 was € 61.1 million (January - March 2011: cash inflow of € 2.0 million). The convertible bond, totalling € 152.7 million was partially converted into the Company's shares (€ 90.1 million) during the first quarter 2012 and the remainder (€ 62.6 million) redeemed at its due date on February 1, 2012.

Cash and cash equivalents

The various cash flows resulted in a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of € 9.7 million during the first quarter (January - March 2011: increase of € 38.3 million). Compared to March 31, 2011 cash and cash equivalents went up by € 38.9 million.

Cash and cash equivalents comprise the following at March 31, 2012:

Net fair value gains on derivative financial instruments also contributed to an improvement in the net financial position.

Net assets position

Changes in items in the statement of financial position

Group total assets at March 31, 2012 went down by 1.0 % compared to December 31, 2011.

Non-current assets edged up by € 8.8 million to € 1,894.7 million (December 31, 2011: € 1,885.9 million). By contrast current assets decreased by € 47.5 million to € 1,805.2 million.

A total of € 12.6 million of intangible assets were capitalized in the first quarter (January - March 2011: € 58.0 million).

The focus of investments was on the PW1100G engine, the new engine for the Airbus A320 family, with capital expenditure of € 10.0 million during the quarter under report (January - March 2011: € 2.8 million).

Internally generated development work was also capitalized in the first quarter 2012 in the Military Engine business segment for the GE38 engine program amounting to € 1.3 million (January - March 2011: € 1.9 million). Expenditure of € 0.1 million (January - March 2011: € 0.9 million) was also capitalized in the first quarter 2012 in connection with the rationalization of production processes and cost optimization of repair techniques in the Commercial Maintenance business segment.

The carrying amount of inventories increased by € 27.0 million to € 850.8 million. Trade and contract production receivables went down by € 28.0 million to € 713.9 million, current financial assets by € 15.3 million to € 28.8 million, other assets by € 20.0 million to € 14.2 million and cash and cash equivalents by € 9.7 million to € 189.1 million.

Group equity rose by € 171.5 million to stand at € 1,077.6 at March 31, 2012 (December 2011: € 906.1 million). Equity was increased during the first three months of 2012 by earnings after taxes (EAT) amounting to € 54.0 million (January – March 2011: € 33.5 million), fair value measurement gains on derivative financial instruments amounting to € 19.6 million (January – March 2011: € 33.5 million) recognized directly in equity, a net positive currency translation impact of € 0.1 million (January – March 2011: net negative currency translation impact of € 5.3 million) and net fair value gains on available-for-sale financial assets amounting to € 0.1 million (January - March 2011: net fair value losses of € 0.1 million). Equity also increased by € 97.5 million as a result of conversions of the convertible bond which matured on February 1, 2012.

As a result of these various factors, the equity ratio improved from 24.2 % at December 31, 2011 to 29.1 % at March 31, 2012.

Pension provisions increased by € 1.9 million in line with schedule. Other provisions went up by € 9.3 million compared to the end of the previous year, mainly as a result of the measurement of contingent liabilities in accordance with IFRS 3.

Income tax liabilities take account of advance payments made during the period, and went up by € 3.2 million during the three-month period.

Financial liabilities were reduced by € 179.4 million compared to December 31, 2011. During the quarter under report, the convertible bond totalling € 152.7 million was partially (€ 90.1 million) converted into shares of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG and the remainder (€ 62.6 million) redeemed. The maturity of the convertible bond on February 1, 2012 meant that financial liabilities were reduced by € 156.3 million compared to December 31, 2011. In addition, the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments resulted in a reduction of € 25.0 million in derivative financial liabilities.

Trade payables stood at € 524.1 million at March 31, 2012 and were therefore € 68.6 million lower than at the end of the previous financial year.

Construction contract payables decreased compared to December 31, 2011 by € 5.3 million to € 709.7 million. Within that figure, advance payments from customers are reported as construction contract payables to the extent that they exceed construction contract receivables.

Other liabilities went up by € 28.9 million to € 275.7 million, mainly reflecting higher liabilities to employees during the year for vacation entitlements and holiday/Christmas pay.

Employees

At March 31, 2012 the group had a total of 8,280 employees (March 31, 2011: 7,975 employees).

4 Opportunity and risk report

In order to take best advantage of market opportunities and to recognize and manage related risks, the Board of Management has set up an integrated opportunity and risk management system, which is linked to the group's value-oriented performance indicators and its organizational structure. This system also incorporates the group's internal control system with respect to financial reporting processes pursuant to § 289 (5) and § 315 (2) no. 5 HGB. A detailed description of the main features of the system and the methods used is provided in the Annual Report 2011 (pages 115 to 117).

Opportunities

Thanks to its business model, with activities spread over the whole life-cycle of commercial and military engine programs, MTU considers that it is well positioned. MTU considers that a good system of opportunities management enables it to best use its future potential in the fields of development, series and spares part business and Commercial Maintenance business and that it will be able to respond quickly to the market's needs. MTU believes that the group's opportunities potential remains similar to that described in the Annual Report 2011. For a comprehensive description of the group's opportunities, reference is made to the Annual Report 2011, page 108 et seq. (Forecasts) and page 123 (SWOT analysis).

Risks

As part of its entrepreneurial activities and in view of the wide range of activities it undertakes with partner companies and consortium partner companies, especially in the USA, risks arise that may have an adverse impact on business and economic developments. As a result of its comprehensive risk management system, MTU knows its risk profile and is in a position to manage those risks actively.

MTU considers that there have been no significant changes in the risk profile discussed in the Annual Report 2011. Reference is made to pages 118 to 122 of the Annual Report 2011 for a detailed description of risks.

Overall conclusion regarding MTU's risk situation

There has been no significant change in the MTU Group's overall risk situation compared with the assessment made as at December 31, 2011. The risks to which the MTU Group is exposed are limited and manageable. From today's perspective, they do not pose any threat to the going concern status of the MTU Group.

1 General disclosures

MTU Aero Engines Holding AG and its subsidiary companies (hereafter referred to as "MTU" or "Group") comprise one of the world's leading manufacturers of engine modules and components and is the world's leading independent provider of commercial engine MRO services.

The business activities of the Group encompass the entire life-cycle of an engine program, i.e. from development, construction, testing and production of new commercial and military engines and spare parts, through to maintenance, repair and overhaul of commercial and military engines. MTU's activities focus on two segments: "Commercial and Military Engine business (OEM)" and "Commercial Maintenance business (MRO)".

MTU's Commercial and Military Engine business covers the development and production of modules, components and spare parts for engine programs, including final assembly.

2 Basis of preparation

In compliance with the provisions of § 37x (3) of the German Securities Trading Act (WpHG) in conjunction with § 37w and § 37y no. 2 WpHG, MTU's Quarterly Financial Report comprises Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and an Interim Group Management Report.

The same accounting policies have been applied as in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the financial year 2011.

All of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), applicable at the end of the reporting period and applied by MTU in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, have been endorsed by the European Commission for use in the EU.

16 Earnings per share

During the period from January 1 to March 31, 2012 there was no longer any dilutive effect on earnings per share from potential ordinary shares in conjunction with the convertible bond originally issued on February 1, 2007 and which matured on February 1, 2012.

Similarly, there as no longer any dilutive effect on earnings per share from the Matching Stock Program set up on June 6, 2005 since the program expired in 2011.

In the meantime, therefore, a dilutive effect arises only in conjunction with the Share Matching Plan set up for the first time with effect from the beginning of 2010.

For the purposes of determining diluted earnings per share, the number of shares that could have been exercised during the first quarter 2011 in conjunction with conversion rights and the grant of equity capital instruments was added to the weighted average number of ordinary shares in circulation. All shares issued during the period under report are included on a weighted basis. Group earnings for the first quarter 2011 were adjusted by the amount of post-tax interest expense relating to the convertible bond.

The following tables show earnings per share as well as the dilutive effect of potentially issuable shares.

Undiluted and diluted earnings per share for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

Included in this figure for the Commercial Engine business segment are internally generated and bought-in development work for the new engine (PW1100G) for the A320 family amounting to € 10.0 million (January – March 2011: € 2.8 million).

In addition, internally generated development work was also capitalized in the first quarter 2012 in the Military Engine business segment for the GE38 engine program amounting to € 1.3 million (January - March 2011: € 1.9 million). Expenditure of € 0.1 million (January - March 2011: € 0.9 million) was also capitalized in the first quarter 2012 in connection with the rationalization of production processes and cost optimization of repair techniques in the Commercial Maintenance business segment.

Capitalized intangible assets totalling € 12.6 million (January - March 2011: € 58.0 million) comprise € 4.0 million (January - March 2011: € 51.8 million) of purchased and € 8.6 million (January - March 2011: € 6.2 million) of internally generated intangible assets. The amortization expense for the three-month period amounted to € 13.2 million (January - March 2011: € 12.6 million).

20 Financial assets

Financial assets decreased overall by € 5.7 million during the first three months of 2012 to € 54.6 million (December 31, 2011: € 60.3 million).

26 Equity

Changes in equity are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity.

26.1 Subscribed capital

The Company's share capital amounts to € 52.0 million (December 31, 2011: € 52.0 million) and is divided into non par-value 52.0 million shares (December 31, 2011: 52.0 million shares).

26.2 Capital reserves

Capital reserves include premiums arising on the issue of shares, the equity component (reduced by proportionate transaction costs) of the convertible bond issued in 2007 and converted/redeemed during the first quarter 2012, the fair values recorded for the Matching Stock Program and Share Matching Plan as well as the difference arising without income statement effect on transferring treasury shares to employees in conjunction with the Employee Stock Program.

Matching Stock Program (MSP)

In order to strengthen its ability to achieve business targets, the Group created the MSP as a long-term remuneration instrument -- with both incentive and risk character -- to involve management in the ownership of the company. The MSP entitles qualifying individuals to subscribe to so-called "Phantom Stocks". The fair value of the Phantom Stocks was recognized on a time-apportioned basis as personnel expense and, at the same time, within equity (capital reserves) until the exercise date. The MSP expired in 2011.

Share Matching Plan (SMP)

A detailed description of the SMP is provided in the Management Compensation Report section of the Corporate Governance Report in the Annual Report 2011. Members of the Board of Management are entitled to invest the amount to be disbursed under the Performance Share Plan (PSP) in shares of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG, which must then be held for a further three years. At the end of the vesting period, these shares are "matched", whereby each Board of Management member is awarded one additional free share for every three MTU shares held. The entitlement to additional free shares is deemed to have been fulfilled once the corresponding number of such shares has been transferred to the member of the Board of Management. The total value of the matching shares available for allocation at the end of the vesting period is limited to three times the initial purchase price.

Senior Managers of MTU

With effect from January 1, 2011, MTU expanded the Share Matching Plan (SMP) it had introduced in the previous year for members of the Board of Management to include the two top tiers of senior managers (OFK and FK) at the company and its subsidiaries.

Tier-1 Senior managers (OFK)

In accordance with the conditions of the plan, tier-1 senior managers may, after expiry of each three-year PSP vesting period, use the benefits payable under the PSP (LTI) and the Annual Performance Bonus (STI) to invest in shares of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG, which must then be held for a further two years under the terms of the supplementary plan, the Share Matching Plan (SMP). At the end of this supplementary vesting period, on condition that the SMP participant is still employed by MTU, this investment is matched by a cash payment corresponding to one third of the amount invested in MTU shares. The total investment qualifying tier-1 senior managers to receive a matching payment under the SMP is limited to a maximum of € 60,000 per eligible manager.

Tier-2 Senior managers (FK)

In accordance with the conditions of the plan, tier-2 senior managers may, after expiry of each two-year PSP vesting period, use the benefits payable under the PSP (LTI) and the Annual Performance Bonus (STI) to invest in shares of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG, which must then be held for a further two years under the terms of the supplementary plan, the Share Matching Plan (SMP). At the end of this supplementary vesting period, on condition that the SMP participant is still employed by MTU, this investment is matched by a cash payment corresponding to one third of the amount invested in MTU shares. The total investment qualifying tier-2 senior managers to receive a matching payment under the SMP is limited to a maximum of € 30,000 per eligible manager.

Employee Stock Program (MAP)

In the second quarter 2011 (previous year: second quarter 2010), the Board of Management of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG allocated shares to group employees under an Employee Stock Program ("MAP"). Each of these two plans runs for two years, with the plan set up in 2011 expiring in June 2013 (previous year: plan set up in 2010 expiring in June 2012). The purchase price for registered shares of MTU Aero Engines Holding AG is based on the lowest price quoted on April 13, 2011 (acquisition date) and was thus € 48.10 per share (previous year: € 42.58 per share). Under the terms of the MAP Employee Stock Program, MTU has given a commitment to make a matching payment to each MAP participant at the end of a two-year vesting period. In other words, at the end of the program term, each MAP participant receives a taxable money amount equivalent to 50 % of the amount invested in MTU shares at the beginning of the program. The total firstquarter cost incurred for the match in conjunction with the MAP was € 0.6 million (January - March 2011: € 0.3 million) which is being recognized as an expense on a time-apportioned basis over the term of the program. The liability at March 31, 2012 amounted to € 3.0 million (December 31, 2011: € 2.4 million).

26.3 Revenue reserves

Revenue reserves comprise the retained earnings of consolidated group companies, and earnings after taxes for the first three months of 2012 amounting to € 54.0 million (January - March 2011: € 33.5 million). Revenue reserves increased during the period from January 1 to March 31, 2012 correspondingly.

26.4 Treasury shares

Reconciliation of weighted average number of shares with the actual number of shares in circulation

As a result of the treasury shares bought back by March 31, 2012, the issue of shares to group employees in conjunction with the exercise of the Matching Stock Program and the Employee Stock Program in the financial years 2007 to 2011 and the exercise of conversion rights attached to the convertible bond, the weighted average number of shares in circulation during the first three months of 2012 was 50,632,685 shares (January - March 2011: 48,752,407 shares) At the end of the reporting period, a total of 50,632,685 MTU Aero Engines Holding AG shares was in issue (March 31, 2011: 48,752,407 shares). The treasury shares were acquired to enable the group to meet contractual obligations relating to convertible bonds and to issue shares to group employees in conjunction with the Matching Stock Program, the Share Matching Plan and the Employee Stock Program.

The following table shows how the number of bought back shares, month-end quantities and the weighted average number of shares in circulation have changed.

In addition, each of the MTU group companies in Germany entered into a supplementary agreement with the Works Council, effective until December 31, 2016, which supersedes the collective bargaining agreement. Within the scope of the agreed terms for pre-retirement part-time working arrangements, agreements on top-up and severance payments were concluded with employees at the level of the group's German companies.

Outstanding maintenance work on engines

These non-current liabilities relate to outstanding maintenance work on the current fleet of five operating lease engines.

Repayment of grants towards development costs

In the financial years 1976 to 1991, MTU received grants towards the internally generated costs of developing the PW2000 engine from the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology which were recognized in the income statement. Once the contractually agreed sales figures of PW2000 production engines have been reached for the Boeing 757 and C-17, MTU is obliged to pay back the grants (government subsidy of development costs) within a timeframe of ten years. Owing to strong demand for engines in the C-17 military application, the threshold was reached and a liability was recognized for the expense for the first time in the financial year 2010. The first installment of the repayment amounting to € 0.7 million was made in the financial year 2011. The second installment of € 1.4 million was paid during the first quarter 2012.
