In the first nine months of 2023 passenger traffic in Frankfurt grew by 23.9% compared to the previous-year period to around 44.5 million passengers. In particular, the tourist-oriented destinations in Europe as well as intercontinental traffic recorded high growth rates. High-volume traffic to North America continued to approach the pre-crisis level. Compared to the pre-crisis year 2019, passenger numbers in the first nine months corresponded to a share of around 82%.

Cargo traffic in Frankfurt decreased by 7.5% compared to 2022. This is mainly due to the general weak demand in the air freight industry as a result of the tense global economic situation. Increasing interest rates had a negative impact on capital expenditure in the industry and persistently high inflation curbed consumer demand.

In the reporting period, the Group airports also recorded clear passenger growth compared to the previous year.

Financial Performance

The Group's Results of Operations

Revenue

At €3,024.0 million, revenue in the Fraport Group in the reporting period was above the previous year's figure by €656.2 million (+27.7%). Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue increased by €494.5 million to €2,631.9 million (+23.1%).

The increase at the Frankfurt site mainly results from higher revenue from airport charges (+€155.3 million) as well as higher revenue from infrastructure charges (+€58.8 million) and ground services (+€38.8 million) based on traffic volumes and prices. Retail and parking revenue also increased by €46.4 million based on traffic volume. Due to the take-over of the management of aviation security checks at the Frankfurt site at the beginning of the fiscal year, revenue from aviation security charges of €167.0 million was achieved for the first time in the reporting period. In contrast, revenue from security services decreased by €118.9 million compared to the previous year as a result of the deconsolidation of the Group company FraSec Aviation Security GmbH as at January 1, 2023.

Among the international Group airports, contributions to adjusted revenue growth came, in particular, from Fraport Greece (+€59.3 million) and the Group company Lima (+€37.9 million) based on the positive traffic development.

Other operating income

At €53.3 million, other operating income was below the previous year by €45.5 million. In the reporting period, this was impacted by a total of €26.1 million due to the pro-rata disposal and the associated deconsolidation of the Group company FraSec Aviation Security GmbH as at January 1, 2023, as well as the recognition of the remaining shares (49%) at fair value. Furthermore, income of €10.8 million resulted from the settlement of a legal dispute at the Group company Fraport USA in connection with the early termination of the retail concession agreement in Pittsburgh.

In contrast, the sale of shares in the Group company in Xi'an, which is accounted for using the equity method, in the amount of €53.7 million was included in other operating income in the previous year. In addition, Fraport Greece was able to reach a further agreement in the same period to compensate for the effects of the coronavirus pandemic, which had a positive impact of €23.6 million.

Expenses

Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) increased by €458.5 million to €1,350.0 million in the first nine months of 2023. Adjusted for expenses related to the application of IFRIC 12, non-staff expenses were €957.9 million (+€296.8 million). The increase is mainly attributable to higher external services costs (+€161.1 million), primarily in connection with taking over the management of aviation security checks at Frankfurt Airport. In addition, other purchased services, including expenses for utility services, increased considerably by €57.5 million, as did the variable concession charges at the international Group companies (+€54.3 million). In the first nine months of 2023, personnel expenses in the Group increased by €31.1 million to €806.8 million. The increase is mainly attributable to wage increases at the Frankfurt site.

EBITDA and EBIT

At €959.5 million, Group EBITDA was €130.9 million above the level in the same period of the previous year. With a slight increase in depreciation and amortization to €358.5 million (+2.3%), Group EBIT amounted to €601.0 million (9M 2022: €478.0 million).

Financial result

The financial result in the reporting period amounted to –€132.0 million (9M 2022: –€300.0 million). The change compared to the same period of the previous year is essentially due to the other financial result. This was negatively impacted in the previous year by the full write-off of a loan made to Thalita Trading Ltd. in the amount of €163.3 million in connection with the activities at St. Petersburg Airport.

Interest income increased by €25.1 million in the first nine months of 2023 compared to the previous year, primarily due to higher interest from call and time deposits.

The interest expenses of –€232.6 million in the reporting period were €17.5 million below the previous year (9M 2022: –€250.1 million). This resulted in particular from one-off effects in the same period of the previous year amounting to €19.3 million in connection with the refinancing in Greece.

In contrast, the result from companies accounted for using the equity method decreased by €18.2 million mainly due to a one-off effect of €20.0 million in the previous year in connection with the write-up of the shares in the Group company Xi'an due to the disposal.

Furthermore, higher losses of €8.3 million in connection with the new Antalya concession were offset by an increase in earnings of the operating company in Antalya (+€16.1 million).

EBT, Group result, and EPS

EBT in the reporting period amounted to €469.0 million (9M 2022: €178.0 million). With a consolidated tax rate of 23.9%, income tax expense amounted to €112.0 million (9M 2022: €79.9 million). The Group result was €357.0 million (9M 2022: €98.1 million). This resulted in basic earnings per share of €3.42 (9M 2022: €0.71).

Results of operations for segments

In the first nine months of 2023, revenue in the Aviation segment increased by €209.2 million to €821.3 million. Due to the increased traffic volume and positive price effects, revenue from airport charges increased by €155.3 million to €608.7 million. Due to the take-over of the management of aviation security checks at the Frankfurt site at the beginning of the fiscal year, revenue from aviation security charges of €167.0 million was achieved in the reporting period. In contrast, revenue from security services decreased by €118.9 million compared to the previous year as a result of the deconsolidation of the Group company FraSec Aviation Security GmbH as at January 1, 2023. Other operating income of €26.1 million resulted from the recognition of the remaining shares of FraSec Aviation Security GmbH at fair value and the realization of the equity disposal. Personnel expenses also decreased to €184.1 million (–€67.3 million) due to reduced headcount as part of the deconsolidation with a countervailing price effect. On the other hand, the cost of materials increased by €157.6 million compared to the same period of the previous year to €191.0 million. This was particularly related to increased expenses for external services in the course of taking over the management of aviation security checks. Due to the positive operating performance, the segment's EBITDA amounted to €247.0 million (9M 2022: €133.5 million). EBIT amounted to €136.6 million (9M 2022: €32.1 million).

The positive traffic development in the reporting period was also reflected in the Retail & Real Estate segment's revenue of €365.7 million (+€52.2 million). The revenue growth was mainly due to higher retail and parking revenue (+€27.1 million and +€19.3 million, respectively). Net retail revenue per passenger was €3.04 (9M 2022: €3.00). Despite higher personnel and material expenses (+€4.2 million and +€10.1 million, respectively), segment EBITDA amounted to €278.5 million (+€49.8 million). Segment EBIT was €211.5 million (+€48.0 million).

At €502.1 million, revenue in the Ground Handling segment in the first nine months of 2023 was €96.2 million higher than in the same period of the previous year. The increase in traffic at Frankfurt Airport as well as price increases led to higher revenue from infrastructure charges (+€58.8 million) and ground services (+€38.8 million). Staff numbers and

price effects led to an increase in personnel expenses by €57.3 million. In particular, an increase based on traffic volumes in the use of employees provided by personnel service provider agencies, especially at the Group company FraGround, increased the cost of materials to a total of €79.7 million (+€18.8 million). EBITDA rose slightly compared to the same period of the previous year to –€23.8 million (9M 2022: –€27.6 million). Segment EBIT improved to –€52.8 million (9M 2022: –€57.0 million).

In the reporting period, revenue from the International Activities & Services segment rose by €298.6 million to €1,334.9 million. Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue amounted to €942.8 million (+€136.9 million). This increase was mainly due to the positive traffic

development at the international Group airports. In particular, Fraport Greece and the Group company in Lima benefited from traffic growth with an increase in revenue adjusted for IFRIC 12 of €59.3 million and €37.9 million, respectively. Other income in the segment amounted to €22.2 million (9M 2022: €91.0 million). Other income in the previous year was mainly impacted positively by the disposal of shares in the Group company Xi'an, which was accounted for using the equity method, in the amount of €53.7 million. Personnel expenses increased by €36.9 million to €242.7 million primarily due to the increased traffic volume. Nonstaff costs in the segment increased by €260.1 million to €895.6 million (+40.9%) compared to the same period of the previous year. Adjusted for the expenses relating to the application of IFRIC 12, non-staff expenses increased by €98.4 million to €503.5 million (+24.3%). This was due in particular to higher variable concession charges, especially at the Group company in Lima and Fraport Greece. Segment EBITDA decreased to €457.8 million due to lower other income (9M 2022: €494.0 million). Segment EBIT amounted to €305.7 million (9M 2022: €339.4 million).

Asset and Capital Structure

At €18,696.1 million, total assets as at September 30, 2023 were €1,088.5 million above the comparable value as at December 31, 2022 (+6.2%). Non-current assets increased by €616.2 million to €14,982.3 million. This is primarily attributable to the increase in property, plant, and equipment (+€353.6 million) in connection with capital expenditure at the Frankfurt site. In addition, investments in airport operating projects increased (+€345.1 million) primarily as a result of the ongoing expansion at the Group company Lima. At €3,713.8 million, current assets were also clearly higher than at the end of the previous year (+€483.7 million). The increase in other current financial assets (+€454.8 million) due in particular to additions to securities and the increase in trade accounts receivable (+€148.3 million), which was predominantly based on traffic volumes, was offset by a decrease in cash and cash equivalents of €154.6 million.

At €4,556.8 million, shareholders' equity as at September 30, 2023 was €424.9 million higher than as at December 31, 2022. The increase was mainly due to the improved Group result of €357.0 million based on the positive business development in the Group. The shareholders' equity ratio increased compared to the end of the 2022 fiscal year by 22.9% (December 31, 2022: 22.2%). Non-current liabilities increased by €65.7 million (+0.6%) to €11,298.3 million. The slight rise resulted in particular from increased financial liabilities (+€74.7 million). The borrowings in connection with the project financing in Lima, which was completed in December 2022, as well as other long-term financing measures at Fraport AG, were offset by scheduled reclassifications. Current liabilities increased in the reporting period by €610.0 million to €2,841.0 million. This is mainly attributable to higher current financial liabilities (+€502.3 million). The repayment of the bridge financing at the Lima Group company and other current financial liabilities of Fraport AG were offset by the aforementioned scheduled reclassifications.

At €11,502.6 million, gross debt as at September 30, 2023 was above the comparable value as at December 31, 2022 of €10,925.6 million by €577.0 million. Liquidity increased slightly, by €219.2 million to €4,086.1 million. Net financial debt increased by €357.8 million to €7,416.5 million (December 31, 2022: €7,058.7 million). The gearing ratio reached a level of 173.3% (December 31, 2022: 180.6%).

Statement of Cash Flows

In the first three quarters of fiscal year 2023, cash flow from operating activities (operating cash flow) of €731.9 million (9M 2022: €628.4 million) was generated. The improvement of €103.5 million resulted in particular from an increase in operating results.

Despite higher capital expenditure in airport operating projects, especially in Lima, and higher cash flow used for expansion measures at the Frankfurt site, the cash flow used in investing activities excluding investments in cash deposits and securities amounted to €1,023.0 million, €24.1 million lower than the figure from the previous year. In the previous year, the cash outflow was mainly due to capital contributions of –€375.3 million to the new joint venture that was established in connection with the operating concession at Antalya Airport and, on the other hand, due to the proceeds from the disposal of the shares in the associated company Xi'an of +€152.2 million. 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 €1,471.6 million (9M 2022: €899.9 million).

Cash flow from financing activities decreased by €206.5 million to €497.8 million due to lower borrowings. The raising of funds from the project financing concluded in December 2022 at the Group company Lima and the associated repayment of the shortterm bridge loan had an effect of €543.5 million on the payments of non-current financial liabilities and –€313.8 million on the change in current financial liabilities. Taking into account exchange rate fluctuations and other changes, the Fraport Group reported cash and cash equivalents based on the consolidated statement of cash flows of €699.0 million as at September 30, 2023 (September 30, 2022: €897.1 million).

Free cash flow amounted to –€316.2 million (9M 2022: –€608.9 million).

Events after the Balance Sheet Date

There were no significant events for the Fraport Group after the balance sheet date.

Risk and Opportunities Report

In the current year 2023, the following changes have occurred compared to the risks and opportunities listed in the Risk and Opportunities Report in the 2022 Annual Report.

The risk regarding the uncertain development of the coronavirus pandemic was already reported in the 2022 Annual Report as having a downward trend. With the expiration of the coronavirus protection measures in Germany, the global lifting of travel restrictions, and the fact that the virus is becoming endemic, the risks from the coronavirus pandemic no longer have a substantial impact on the results of operations and the key financial indicators in the Fraport Group. The risk of a pandemic with its effects on global air traffic will continuously be observed and evaluated in the future.

The risk situation in connection with the expansion project in Lima, Peru was reported in the 2022 Annual Report in the "Events after the balance sheet date" chapter. Political protests have lost momentum in the current year 2023, but political tensions in Peru are nevertheless making themselves felt in the country's increasingly weak economic development.The situation is being monitored closely and the Lima Group company is in constant contact with all relevant authorities. There is no longer a risk that the banks will refuse to pay out the agreed upon project financing concluded in December 2022 due to insufficient insurance cover according to the concession agreement. The bridge loan has been fully paid off and payments from project financing have been recorded by the banks. A binding confirmation of the force majeure declaration by the Ministry of Transport was issued by the end of the year, and in October the required insurance coverage was contracted by the Group company Lima, so that the concession requirements for insurance protection are met in full.

So far, the current geopolitical conflicts in the Middle East are not expected to have any substantial impact on the results of operations and the key financial indicators in the Fraport Group. However, further developments and their possible impact on global air traffic are being closely monitored and evaluated.

Report on Forecast Changes

Business Outlook

At the end of the first nine months of 2023, the Executive Board maintains its forecasts for the results of operations, asset and financial position, and for the non-financial performance indicators for the full year 2023 (see also the "Business outlook" chapter in the Group Management Report 2022 and Fraport Interim Report Q2/6M 2023).

Where the statements made in this document relate to the future rather than the past, they are based on a number of assumptions about future events and are subject to a number of uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide and which could have the effect that the actual results will differ materially from these statements. These factors include, but are not limited to, the competitive environment in deregulated markets, regulatory changes, the success of business operations, and a substantial deterioration in basic economic conditions in the markets in which Fraport AG Frankfurt Airport Services Worldwide and its Group companies operate. Readers are cautioned not to rely to an inappropriately large extent on statements made about the future.
