Overview by the Executive Board

Overview of business development

  • Positive passenger development across the Group, with just under 36 million passengers at Frankfurt Airport, Fraport Greece above the level of 2019
  • The countermeasures introduced to deal with the operational challenges at Frankfurt Airport are making an impact: Improvement of the punctuality rate in the months of August and September
  • Increase in revenue in Frankfurt, in particular due to higher income from airport and infrastructure charges as well as an increase in retail revenue based on higher traffic volume. Revenue from security services declined due to one-off effects from the previous year
  • International business made a clearly higher contribution to Group revenue, particularly from Fraport Greece and Lima
  • Higher operating expenses resulted above all from traffic volume at the Group company Lima and at the Frankfurt site due to an increase in expenses for external services purchased, for external staff, as well as for utility services
  • Group EBITDA was €828.6 million, an increase of €204.7 million (+32.8%) over the previous year despite one-off effects
  • Decline in financial result, in particular due to 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
  • The Group result was once again positive at €98.1 million
  • Substantially improved operating cash flow (+€409.5 million), clearly below-average improvement in free cash flow to -€608.9 million (9M 2021: -€633.5 million) mainly due to investments in the operating company for the new concession in Antalya
  • Passenger volume in Frankfurt is expected to be in the upper range of the forecast issued in the Q2/6M 2022 interim report of between 45 million passengers and around 50 million passengers
  • Passenger numbers at Fraport Greece are forecasted to be at or slightly above the level of 2019; Twin Star is expected to have passenger numbers slightly over 60% of those in 2019 and Antalya is expected to be over 80% of the 2019 volume
  • Financial figures expected in the upper range of the earnings forecasts updated in the Q2/6M 2022 interim report

In the first nine months of 2022, approximately 35.9 million passengers traveled through Frankfurt Airport. The gradual lifting of travel restrictions across the globe explains the massive increase of more than 100% compared to the same period last year. Compared to the same period in the pre-crisis year 2019, passenger volume in Frankfurt reached a level of around 66%. Due to the high demand for holiday travel beginning in April, European traffic increased strongly in the reporting period. Intercontinental traffic also continued its trend towards recovery, especially for destinations in North America.

Cargo volume at Frankfurt Airport fell by 12.9% compared to the strong basis in the previous year. This is due to the overall economic situation as well as the further restrictions on air space stemming from the war in Ukraine and comprehensive coronavirus protection measures in China.

During the reporting period, the Group airports reported positive passenger development. In particular, Fraport Greece benefited from high demand with traffic volumes above the level of 2019 (+3.1%).

Financial Performance

The Group's results of operations

Revenue

At €2,367.8 million, revenue in the Fraport Group in the reporting period was above the previous year's figure by €866.4 million. Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue increased by €780.8 million to €2,137.4 million. The increase at the Frankfurt site was mainly due to higher revenue from airport charges (+€213.3 million) caused by an increase in traffic volume. Higher revenue from infrastructure charges (+€80.1 million) and ground services (+€57.8 million), as well as higher retail revenue (+€49.1 million) contributed to the increase in revenue. By contrast, revenue from security services fell by €27.1 million to €132.3 million despite additional revenue from new business at Hamburg Airport. This was due to a one-off effect in the previous year's period of €57.8 million from the agreement with the Federal Police in connection with billed aviation security services in recent years. Outside of Frankfurt, contributions to adjusted revenue growth came, in particular, from Fraport Greece (+€191.6 million) and the Group company Lima (+€96.0 million) based on the positive traffic development.

Other operating income

At €98.8 million, other operating income was below the level in the same period of the previous year of €315.1 million (-€216.3 million). In the reporting period, other operating income was impacted positively by the disposal of shares in the Group company Xi'an, which is accounted for using the equity method, in the amount of €53.7 million. In addition, another agreement was reached at Fraport Greece to compensate for the impact of the Coronavirus Pandemic. The compensation relates to the operating losses incurred in the first half of 2021. This resulted in a positive effect of €23.6 million (9M 2021: €92.8 million). In contrast, the previous year's number mainly included the compensation of €159.8 million granted by both the German Federal Government and the State of Hesse for the holding costs incurred at the Frankfurt site in the first lockdown in 2020.

Expenses

In the first nine months of 2022, personnel expenses in the Group increased by €139.3 million to €775.7 million. The increase resulted, in particular, from a very low use of short-time working schedules compared to the same period of the previous year and from the increased demand for personnel due to the positive traffic development in the Group in general and in Ground Services in Frankfurt in particular. Non-staff costs (cost of materials and other operating expenses) were €891.5 million (+€307.0 million). Adjusted for expenses related to the application of IFRIC 12, non-staff expenses were €661.1 million (+€221.4 million). The increase is due in particular to higher variable concession charges at the international Group companies due to the recovery in traffic (+€78.9 million) and higher expenses for external services purchased (+€37.0 million), as well as external staff (+€32.7 million). In addition, expenses for utility services increased by €29.8 million (+51.0%) compared to the previous year given the sharp rise in energy prices.

EBITDA and EBIT

Despite substantially lower other operating income, Group EBITDA was €204.7 million above the previous year's level at €828.6 million (+32.8%) due to the positive development of operating performance. Higher depreciation and amortization of €350.6 million (+€18.9 million) resulted in Group EBIT of €478.0 million (+€185.8 million).

Financial result

The financial result in the reporting period amounted to -€300.0 million (9M 2021: -€139.6 million). This decrease compared to the same period in the previous year is mainly due to the other financial result of -€151.6 million (9M 2021: -€2.4 million). This was negatively affected 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. The reason for the full write-off was a reassessment of cash flows as at June 30, 2022 based on the current sanctions in place in connection with the war in Ukraine. Together with the write-off of €9.7 million recognized in fiscal year 2020, the carrying amount of the loan receivable has been written off in full.

In addition, interest expenses in the Group increased (+€57.5 million), also due to the extensive financing measures at Fraport AG in fiscal year 2021. The increase also resulted from refinancing in Greece and the associated one-off effects from the repayment of the original financing in the amount of €19.3 million. Furthermore, interest expenses from the compounding of concession liabilities increased by €20.3 million compared to the previous year, mainly as a result of inflation development in Peru.

Interest income, on the other hand, fell by €1.3 million. In the reporting period, higher interest rates from the discounting of provisions led to higher interest income. In the previous year, interest income was positively influenced by €17.5 million due to the oneoff effect of the agreement with the German Federal Police.

The result from companies accounted for using the equity method increased by €47.6 million to €66.5 million, in particular due to the positive development of the Group company in Antalya (+€36.0 million). The increase compared to the previous year is also attributable to the write-up of the Group company Xi'an (+€20.0 million) resulting from the disposal of shares.

EBT, Group result, and EPS

EBT in the reporting period amounted to €178.0 million (9M 2021: €152.6 million). Based on the application of the Group tax rate of 44.9% expected at the end of the year, taxes on income amounted to €79.9 million (9M 2021: €34.6 million). The Group tax rate is strongly influenced by effects in connection with the write-off of the loan receivable from Thalita Trading Ltd. and the income from the disposal of shares in the Group company Xi'an, and therefore is temporarily much higher than usual. The Group result was €98.1 million (9M 2021: €118.0 million) and resulted in basic earnings per share of €0.71 (9M 2021: €1.05).

Results of operations for segments

In the first nine months of 2022, revenue in the Aviation segment increased by €189.4 million to €612.1 million (+44.8%). Higher revenue from airport charges (+€213.3 million) based on the strong recovery in traffic at Frankfurt Airport primarily contributed to revenue growth. Despite additional revenue from new business at Hamburg Airport, revenue from security services decreased (-€27.1 million). In the same period of the previous year, these were positively influenced by the agreement with the German Federal Police concerning billed aviation security services in recent years in the amount of €57.8 million. Other operating income was clearly below the previous year's level. This was due to the compensation payment in the same period of the previous year in the amount of €159.8 million granted by the German Federal Government and the State of Hesse to cover the holding costs incurred during the first lockdown in 2020. Personnel expenses increased by €44.4 million to €251.4 million, in part due to a very low use of short-time working schedules. Cost of materials declined by €5.9 million to €33.4 million, mainly due to lower expenses from capital expenditure. Segment EBITDA of €133.5 million was below the previous year's figure, which was strongly impacted by one-off effects. Adjusted for the aforementioned one-off effects, segment EBITDA increased by €178.4 million compared to the previous year. Nearly flat depreciation and amortization led to a positive segment EBIT of €32.1 million (9M 2021: €71.4 million).

The positive traffic development was also reflected in the Retail & Real Estate segment's revenue of €313.5 million (+€81.7 million). The growth in revenue is attributable in particular to higher retail revenue (+€49.1 million). Net retail revenue per passenger was €3.00 (9M 2021: €3.74). Parking and real estate revenue also developed positively (+€20.8 million and +€10.7 million, respectively). By contrast, personnel expenses increased (+€4.5 million), mainly due to a very

low use of short-time working schedules. In addition, cost of materials increased by €27.7 million as a result of a higher level of utility services, particularly due to increases in prices. Segment EBITDA increased to €228.7 million (+€37.4 million). With a slight increase in depreciation and amortization (+€1.3 million), segment EBIT stood at €163.5 million (+€36.1 million).

At €405.9 million, revenue in the Ground Handling segment in the first nine months of 2022 was €136.3 million higher than in the same period of the previous year. The strong demand at Frankfurt Airport led to higher revenue from infrastructure charges (+€80.1 million) and ground services (+€57.8 million). Personnel expenses increased by €62.1 million

in the reporting period. This was mainly due to a very low use of short-time working schedules. The cost of materials also increased by €39.1 million due to the increased need for external staff. Segment EBITDA improved to -€27.6 million (+€24.0 million). With depreciation and amortization (+€0.8 million) remaining virtually unchanged, segment EBIT improved to -€57.0 million (+€23.2 million).

In the reporting period, revenue from the International Activities & Services segment rose by €459.0 million to €1,036.3 million. Adjusted for contract revenue from construction and expansion services based on the application of IFRIC 12, revenue amounted to €805.9 million (+€373.4 million). This increase was mainly due to the positive traffic

development at the Group's international airports. In particular, Fraport Greece and the Group company Lima benefited from the easing of travel restrictions with revenue growth adjusted for IFRIC 12 of €191.6 million and €96.0 million, respectively. Other operating income in the segment was €91.0 million. The main positive impacts were the disposal of shares in the Group company Xi'an, which is accounted for using the equity method, in the amount of €53.7 million and the compensation for the effects of the Coronavirus Pandemic at Fraport Greece for the first half of 2021 in the amount of €23.6 million. In the same period of the previous year, other operating income included compensation to offset the effects of the Coronavirus Pandemic at Fraport Greece in fiscal year 2020 in the amount of €92.8 million as well as the waiver of fixed minimum lease payments at Fraport USA in the amount of €16.0 million. Personnel expenses increased by €28.3 million to €205.8 million, mainly due to the reduced use of short-time work schedules and the increased demand for personnel. Non-staff costs in the segment increased by €232.0 million to €635.5 million (+57.5%) compared to the same quarter the previous year. Adjusted for the expenses relating to the application of IFRIC 12, nonstaff expenses increased by €146.4 million to €405.1 million (+56.6%). This was due in particular to higher variable concession charges, especially at the Group company Lima. Segment EBITDA increased by €182.5 million to €494.0 million (+58.6%). Despite higher depreciation and amortization (+€16.7 million) compared to the previous year, segment EBIT rose to €339.4 million (+€165.8 million).

Asset and capital structure

At €17,471.1 million, total assets as at September 30, 2022 were €1,231.1 million above the comparable value as at December 31, 2021 (+7.6%). Non-current assets increased by €1,374.1 million to €14,365.4 million. This was due to, among other things, higher capital expenditure in airport operating projects as a result of the ongoing expansion at the Group company Lima as well as currency exchange rate effects both at the Group company Lima as well as at the Group companies Fortaleza and Porto Alegre (+€419.7 million). In addition, the increase resulted from higher shares in companies accounted for using the equity method (+€412.7 million). This included capital contributions of €375.3 million to the new joint venture that was established in connection with the new operating concession at Antalya Airport. Other financial assets were €313.4 million higher than on December 31, 2021, due to additions to securities and investments in promissory note loans. On the other hand, the write-off of the loan receivable from Thalita Trading Ltd. in connection with the activities at St. Petersburg Airport had a diminishing effect on other financial assets and other financial receivables and assets. Property, plant, and equipment increased in particular due to the capacitive capital expenditure measures at the Frankfurt site by €262.5 million to €8,160.9 million. In light of the continuing rise in interest rates, the effects on the cost of capital and the related impact on the recoverability of non-current assets, which was already presented at the end of the first half of the year, are reviewed on an ongoing basis. There was no need for impairment as of the reporting date. Compared with December 31, 2021, current assets decreased by €37.4 million to €3,091.6 million due to lower cash and cash equivalents (-€183.5 million) and, in contrast, higher trade accounts receivable (+€108.3 million) due to traffic volumes. Non-current assets held for sale decreased by €105.6 million compared to the 2021 balance sheet date due primarily to the transfer of the 24.5% of shares in the Group company Xi'an completed on May 24, 2022.

Shareholders' equity as at September 30, 2022 amounted to €4,068.3 million, and rose by €159.3 million in the first three quarters of 2022. The increase resulted, in particular, from the positive Group result of €98.1 million as well as the increased currency reserve (+€80.9 million). This was offset in part by valuation effects in other income of €22.9 million. The shareholders' equity ratio decreased from 23.1% as at December 31, 2021 to 22.1%. Non-current liabilities increased by €358.6 million to €11,254.0 million. This is mainly due to the increase in non-current financial liabilities (+€391.8 million) in connection with new borrowings. On the other hand, there were maturity-related reclassifications, which correspondingly led to an increase in current financial liabilities of €462.4 million. At €2,136.0 million, current liabilities were €708.5 million above the comparable value as at December 31, 2021. In addition to the aforementioned increase in current financial liabilities, other current non-financial liabilities (+€88.9 million) and trade accounts payable (+€61.3 million) also increased.

At €10,788.2 million, gross debt as at September 30, 2022 was clearly above the comparable value as at December 31, 2021 of €9,934.0 million. Liquidity increased by €219.9 million to €3,784.2 million. Net financial debt increased by €634.3 million to €7,004.0 million (December 31, 2021: €6,369.7 million). The gearing ratio reached a level of 181.3% (December 31, 2021: 169.7%).

Statement of cash flows

In the first three quarters of fiscal year 2022, cash flow from operating activities was €628.4 million (9M 2021: cash flow of €218.9 million). The improvement by €409.5 million resulted in particular from an increase in operating results. In addition, the cash flow from operating activities was negatively impacted in the previous year by payments in connection with the "Zukunft FRA – Relaunch 50" program.

Cash flow used in investing activities without investments in cash deposits and securities amounted to €1,047.1 million, an increase of €217.6 million year-on-year. This was mainly due to capital contributions of €375.3 million to the joint venture that was established in connection with the new operating concession at Antalya Airport. Higher capital expenditure in airport operating projects, especially in Lima, were offset by lower cash flow used for expansion measures at the Frankfurt site. In addition, revenue from the disposal of shares in the Group company Xi'an, which is accounted for using the equity method, reduced cash outflow by €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 €899.9 million (9M 2021: €2,024.4 million).

Compared to the previous year, cash flow from financing activities decreased substantially by €1,187.3 million to €704.3 million. In the first nine months of 2021, considerably more extensive financing measures, including a bond issue, to secure liquidity were carried out compared to the current fiscal year. Within the scope of the signed refinancing at Fraport Greece, financial liabilities of €913.8 million were repaid and refinanced in advance in the amount of €960.0 million. 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 €897.1 million as at September 30, 2022 (9M 2021: €339.1 million).

Free cash flow amounted to -€608.9 million (9M 2021: -€633.5 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 2022, the following changes have occurred compared with the risks and opportunities listed in the Risk and Opportunities Report in the 2021 Annual Report.

The development of passenger numbers at Group airports continues to be subject to uncertainty given possible travel restrictions stemming from the pandemic. However, due to developments in the pandemic, a return of far-reaching travel restrictions on international air travel coupled with very high financial implications can only be expected in the unlikely event of virus variants with a high mortality rate.

Energy costs have risen exceptionally sharply as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. There has been a very high dynamic of inflation, which has a direct financial impact on the cost situation in the Group. As a result, expenses at the Frankfurt site and at the Group airports are expected to rise above the inflation assumptions already used in the planning adopted in 2021. Corresponding countermeasures have been identified and are already being implemented in order to help mitigate the financial impact of inflation developments. In the medium term, an increase in interest rates is also to be expected in response to the high dynamics of inflation, which can lead to higher costs for future borrowing.

As a result of the energy crisis, a noticeable economic downturn is possible. Uncertainty about rising costs of living can have an impact on purchasing power and, as a result, on private travel demand. Currently, there is no indication of a decline in booking behavior.

In addition to geopolitical conflicts, attacks on the IT infrastructure of companies are also increasing. As an operator of critical infrastructure, Fraport could come into focus as a target for cyberattacks. Fraport counters this risk with extensive IT protection measures. In the event of a comprehensive, successful cyberattack on the Fraport IT infrastructure, far-reaching consequences could result for the operating business processes, and it cannot be ruled out that this would have very strong negative financial effects on the results of operations of the Fraport Group.

For the expansion project at the airport in Lima, Peru, operated by Lima Airport Partners, the inauguration of an expanded new terminal is on schedule for 2025. At the time of commissioning, this strategic expansion is in line with the concession contract and offers stable framework conditions for the predicted increase in passengers in the coming years. The expansion under a oneterminal concept requires an earlier cash outflow of investments in the mid three-digit million range compared with the two-terminal concept previously planned. Corresponding project financing is currently in negotiation. Compared to the risks in the expansion project presented in the 2021 Annual Report, the planning risks have thus been reduced.

Report on Forecast Changes

Business outlook

Forecasted business development for 2022

Based on current demand dynamics, the Executive Board expects passenger numbers at Frankfurt Airport to be in the upper range of the forecast issued in the Q2/6M 2022 Interim Report of around 45 million passengers to around 50 million passengers. Passenger numbers at Fraport Greece are forecasted to be at or slightly above the level of 2019. Twin Star is expected to have passenger numbers slightly over 60% of those in 2019 and Antalya is expected to reach more than 80% of the 2019 level.

Interim Report Q2/6M 2022
Forecast
Annual Report 2021
Frankfurt around 45 million passengers to around 50 million passengers range of 55% to 65% of the level of 2019
Fraport Greece at least 90% of the passenger volume in 2019 at least 80% of 2019 passenger volume
Twin Star at least 50% passenger volume in 2019 no traffic forecast
Antalya over 75% of passenger volume of 2019 no traffic forecast

For the other Group airports, the Executive Board maintains its passenger forecast in the 2021 Annual Report.

Forecasted results of operations for 2022

Due to the positive traffic development and the earnings development in the reporting period, the financial figures for the full year 2022 are expected to be in the upper range of the earnings forecasts updated in the Q2/6M 2022 Interim Report. This also has an impact on ROFRA, causing it to increase more strongly than previously assumed and is expected to be above the 2021 value.

Development of reported forecasts

Group´s Results of Operations Forecast Forecast
Interim Report Q2/6M 2022 Annual Report 2021
Revenue slightly above €3.0 billion up to approximately €3.0 billion
EBITDA around €850 million to around €970 million between approximately €760 million and €880 million
EBIT around €400 million to around €520 million €320 million to around €440 million
Group result around €0 million to around €100 million around €50 million to around €150 million
ROFRA exceed the 2021 level slightly below to slightly above the level of 2021

Forecasted segment development for 2022

Due to the higher demand for personnel as a result of the positive traffic development in the first nine months of 2022, the Executive Board now expects a stronger negative EBITDA development in the Ground Handling segment than previously assumed (forecast Q2/6M 2022 Interim Report: slightly negative; forecast 2021 Annual Report: approximately break-even EBITDA). Accordingly, segment EBIT is also expected to be worse and remain in negative territory (forecast 2021 Annual Report: EBIT in negative territory).

Forecasted asset and financial development for 2022

The Executive Board maintains its forecasts for asset and financial development for the full fiscal year 2022 (see also the 2021 Group Management Report and the "Business Outlook" chapter in the Q2/6M 2022 Interim Report).
