Sales
First quarter sales for the DO & CO Group were EUR 43.74 million higher in business year 2008/2009 than in the previous year, rising from EUR 86.23 million to EUR 129.97 million.
| SALES BY DIVISION | First Quarter | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Airline Catering increased its sales by a slight EUR 0.38 million, raising them from EUR 62.62 million to EUR 63.00 million.
International Event Catering saw its sales rise by EUR 39.11 million, from EUR 11.55 million to EUR 50.66 million. This extraordinary increase is traceable to the EURO 2008. DO & CO was highly successful in its handling of the entire hospitality program in Austria and Switzerland in and around all eight stadiums. Sales for the Formula 1 Grand Prix races and other "classic" divisional events were maintained at the previous year's level despite this megaproject.
Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel recorded sales of EUR 16.31 million for the period under review, a figure EUR 4.25 million higher than the previous year's EUR 12.06 million. The major factors in this growth were the inclusion in the accounts of the new business location at the BMW World in Munich and the superb performance of existing locations.
Profit and Assets
The DO & CO Group posted consolidated earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the first quarter of 2008/2009 of EUR 4.81 million. This figure represents an increase of EUR 2.06 million over the previous year. The EBIT margin rose from 3.2 % last year to 3.7 % in the current year. Group EBITDA grew by EUR 2.67 million, rising from EUR 6.34 million to EUR 9.01 million. This figure corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 6.9 % versus 7.4 % for the previous year.

The sales and profit growth over the previous year can be traced mainly to the EURO 2008. Existing locations in Austria and abroad also put in satisfactory performances. The EURO 2008 Project generated a large volume of margin-free sales on infrastructure and services for guests purchased from third parties (tents, furniture, flowers, entertainment, etc.).
To obtain a meaningful figure for comparison with the previous year, these margin-free sales must be deducted from the total. Following adjustments for margin-free sales, the EBITDA margin was 8.3 % and the EBIT margin was 4.4 %.
Total net assets as of 30 June 2008 amounted to EUR 204.13 million, a figure EUR 23.55 million higher than on 31 March 2008. This upturn is attributable to investments in fixed assets and to the rise in short-term balance sheet items related to the catering services for the EURO 2008. As a result, the equity ratio fell from 42.5 % on 31 March 2008 to 39.7 % on 30 June 2008.
The first-quarter cash flow from operating activities was substantially higher than the previous year (EUR 16.56 million versus EUR 11.76 million the previous year) because billing for the entire catering contract for the EURO 2008 had not yet been completed as of 30 June 2008, especially supplier billing.
Investments
Payments for investments in tangible and intangible fixed assets amounted to EUR 5.92 million. Investments in the joint venture Turkish DO & CO and the renovation and expansion of production capacities in Vienna were two of the major individual items. Other key items were the expansion of Airline Catering locations in London, New York and Frankfurt and investments in DO & CO Event Austria GmbH, a new firm founded in the previous year in connection with the EURO 2008.
Employees
The first-quarter figure for the average number of employees increased to 3,993 in the current year compared to 3,706 last year. This growth stems from the expansion of activities at existing Airline Catering locations as well as the inclusion of the BMW World in Munich in the accounts and the increased staff required for the EURO 2008.
Airline Catering
The DO & CO Group now has a network of 22 gourmet kitchens with its business locations in New York, London, Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, Milan, Bratislava, Salzburg, Vienna, Linz, Graz and the nine business locations in Turkey.
The growing clientele of the DO & CO Airline Catering Division at the various business locations includes, among others, the Austrian Airlines Group, Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, South African Airways, KLM, Iberia, Air France and NIKI. DO & CO currently provides catering to more than 50 airlines.

Airline Catering posted first quarter sales of EUR 63.00 million in the business year 2008/2009, an increase of EUR 0.38 million on the previous year.
The course of business in Airline Catering was stable overall. This trend is mostly attributable to the solid development of key accounts, particularly at foreign business locations. The loss of sales suffered in April 2008 in connection with the bankruptcy of EOS was offset by the fine showing of other key accounts.
EBITDA for Airline Catering increased by EUR 0.62 million, rising from EUR 4.36 million to EUR 4.98 million. That corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 7.9 % (previous year: 7.0 %). EBIT grew by EUR 0.25 million, from EUR 1.61 million to EUR 1.86 million. The EBIT margin was 2.9 % (previous year: 2.6 %).
International Event Catering
The EURO 2008 dominated business in International Event Catering in the first quarter. The division won high marks in serving as host to over 137,000 VIP guests at 31 matches in eight stadiums in Switzerland and Austria between 7 June and 29 June 2008. DO & CO also handled the catering for journalists and media representatives as well as UEFA employees and volunteers.

| EBIT margin | 4.6 % | 6.7 % | |||||
| Share in consolidated sales | 39.0 % | 13.4 % |
Of course, the catering services for the EURO 2008 are clearly reflected in divisional sales and profits: EBIT for International Event Catering increased by EUR 1.55 million, rising from EUR 0.77 million to EUR 2.32 million. The EBITDA margin fell from 9.7 % to 5.6 % while the first quarter EBIT margin totaled 4.6 % as compared with the previous year's 6.7 %. The high portion of margin-free sales (guest infrastructure for the EURO 2008) is what caused this reduction in the margins. Following adjustments for margin-free sales, the EBITDA margin was 9.4 % and the EBIT margin was 7.8 %.
Other highlights in the period under review were the Formula 1 Grand Prix events.
Restaurant, Lounges & Hotel
Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel also posted healthy sales growth for the first quarter of 2008/2009. The division increased its first quarter sales by a substantial EUR 4.25 million, from EUR 12.06 million last year to EUR 16.31 million in the current year.

| EBIT margin | 3.9 % | 3.1 % | |||||
| Share in consolidated sales | 12.5 % | 14.0 % |
The DO & CO Design Hotel and the Restaurant on St. Stephen's Square in Vienna were particularly important factors in this growth, as was the DO & CO Restaurant in the Albertina. The EURO 2008 thus had a primarily positive effect on the results of the various business locations in Austria. The division benefited from a larger number of guests and additional sales.
Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel improved its EBITDA figure by EUR 0.36 million, increasing it from EUR 0.86 million to EUR 1.22 million. The EBITDA margin improved from 7.1 % to 7.5 %. EBIT increased by EUR 0.27 million to EUR 0.64 million. That corresponds to an EBIT margin of 3.9 % (previous year: 3.1 %).
DO & CO Stock/Investor Relations
The ATX, the leading Austrian index, recovered slightly from the crisis on international financial markets unleashed by the sub-prime crisis in the US real estate sector, closing the quarter on 30 June 2008 at 3,943 points. This figure represents an increase of 4.7 % on the closing level of 3,766 points on 31 March 2008.
Over this same period, the price of DO & CO shares rose by 8.4 %, closing the first quarter on 30 June 2008 at a price of EUR 18.00.
Outlook
In the Airline Catering Division, DO & CO is currently participating in a number of international invitations to tender. The enlargement of the Airline Catering units at London Heathrow and in New York is expected to be completed at the end of the second quarter as welll as the remodeling of a production site in Vienna.
Following the successful conclusion of the EURO 2008, International Event Catering is turning to its next major international sports event, the international CHIO riding and jumping tournament in Aachen. The traditional beach volleyball tournament at the Wörthersee and the continuation of hospitality services for the remaining Formula 1 Grand Prix races for this season will dominate business in the second quarter.
The opening of the Demel in New York in the second quarter of business year 2008/2009 will mark another major step in the expansion of Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel and the DEMEL brand. Sales and profits are expected to keep growing at existing locations.
The management of DO & CO is closely monitoring the current national and international trends in the airline industry and is prepared for any possible scenarios that market conditions may pose. Despite these difficult market conditions, DO & CO continues to have solid prospects for growth thanks to innovation, excellent product and service standards and a broad customer portfolio emphasizing quality-oriented carriers coupled with the greatest cost flexibility possible. Regional and international diversification in its three divisions further improves its position in this regard. The positive trend is thus expected to continue for the remainder of business year 2008/2009 barring the occurrence of any unforeseen developments outside the control of DO & CO.

General Information
1. Basic Principles
DO & CO Restaurants & Catering AG is an international catering group with headquarters in Vienna, Austria. It conducts business in three segments: Airline Catering, International Event Catering, and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel.
Its reporting date is March 31.
The annual and interim financial statements of all subsidiaries included here were properly prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) valid for the business year 2008/2009 as applied in the EU and in application of the parent's standard group-wide accounting and valuation principles.
The interim financial statements as of 30 June 2008 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all information and disclosures that the annual financial statements do and should be viewed in connection with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2008.
Unless otherwise indicated, the interim financial statements are stated in thousands of euros (TEUR), as are the figures in the Notes.
2. Accounting and Valuation Principles
The accounting and valuation principles were the same as those applied in the previous year's consolidated financial statements.
3. Scope of Consolidation
The scope of consolidation has not changed since 31 March 2008.
4. Currency Translation
The annual financial statements of the foreign subsidiaries were translated in accordance with the functional currency principle as outlined in IAS 21 (The Effects of Changes in Foreign Exchange Rates). The functional currency of the foreign companies is the national currency of their country of registration since the subsidiaries are financially, economically and organizationally independent in their conduct of business. The only exceptions are two British companies.
The annual financial statements of eight foreign subsidiaries with registered offices outside the Community Territory of the Member States of the European Union and two subsidiaries with registered offices in Great Britain and one subsidiary with registered office in Slovakia were translated in accordance with the principles of the modified current rate method. The balance sheet items were valued at the mean rate on the reporting date of 30 June 2008. Income and expenses on the income statement were translated at the annual average rate.
Translation differences on the reporting date arising from the balance sheet were allocated to shareholders' equity without affecting profit and loss. Translation differences between the reporting date rate within the balance sheet and the average rate in the income statement were offset in shareholders' equity.
Non-realized translation adjustments in conjunction with monetary items economically allocable to a share in an associated company, particularly borrowings under company loans issued to subsidiaries, were recognized with no effect on profit or loss from currency translation and offset in shareholders' equity.
The exchange rates applied in currency conversion for significant currencies developed as follows:
| Reporting Date Rate | Cum. Average Rate | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| in EUR | 30 Jun 08 | 30 Jun 07 | Q1 2008/2009 | Q1 2007/2008 |
| 1 US Dollar | 0.634357 | 0.740466 | 0.640895 | 0.739606 |
| 1 British Pound | 1.262228 | 1.483680 | 1.266692 | 1.472977 |
| 1 New Turkish Lira | 0.517518 | 0.563698 | 0.515908 | 0.555220 |
| 1 Swiss Franc | 0.622820 | 0.604120 | 0.618844 | 0.606211 |
| 1 Slovak Koruna | 0.033107 | 0.029731 | 0.032387 | 0.029607 |
5. Seasonal Nature of Business
Fluctuations in business volume are significant in Airline Catering and International Event Catering. The larger volume of flights and passengers among airline customers especially in the first and second quarters of the business year during the holiday and charter season have a major influence on Airline Catering whereas for International Event Catering the main factor is the changing dates of large-scale sports events.
The hospitality contract for the EURO 2008 had a substantial effect on these quarterly financial statements. Sales rose considerably, as did expenses for third-party services and personnel costs. The staging of the EURO 2008 hospitality program also caused a significant increase in short-term balance sheet items.
