Sales
First quarter sales for the DO & CO Group were EUR -41.64 million lower in business year 2009/2010 than in the previous year, falling from EUR 129.97 million to EUR 88.33 million. This decline can primarily be attributed to the EURO 2008 which took place in the first quarter of the previous year.

Airline Catering remained stable, reporting only a slight decline of -2.6 % in sales to EUR 61.39 million despite the tough market conditions.
Sales in International Event Catering decreased from EUR 50.66 million to EUR 11.95 million. This decline in sales was mainly due to the EURO 2008, which took place in the first quarter of the previous year. By excluding sales generated at the EURO 2008 from the comparison, the company reports a 75 % growth in sales.
Sales in Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel totaled EUR 14.99 million, a figure -8.1 %, or EUR –1.32 million, lower than the previous year. The decrease in sales in this division is also primarily attributable to the EURO 2008.
Earnings
The DO & CO Group posted consolidated earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the first quarter of 2009/2010 of EUR 3.44 million. This figure represents a decrease of EUR -1.38 million against the same period the previous year. Group EBITDA declined by EUR -1.49 million, falling from EUR 9.01 million to EUR 7.52 million.

There was no EURO 2008 to boost first quarter business this year as there had been last year. That was the main reason for the change in sales and earnings.
The staging of the EURO 2008 project in the first quarter of last year created a large volume of transitory sales involving infrastructure and services for guests purchased from third parties. To obtain a meaningful figure for comparison with the previous year, these transitory sales must be deducted from the total. Following this adjustment, the first quarter EBIT margin fell from 4.4 % to 3.9 % while the EBITDA margin totaled 8.5 % as compared with 8.3 % the previous year.

Balance Sheet
Total assets as of 30 June 2009 amounted to EUR 176.74 million, a figure EUR 7.38 million higher than on 31 March 2009. This trend is caused by a seasonally induced rise in short-term balance sheet items. The equity ratio changed from 45.6 % as of 31 March 2009 to 45.5 % as of 30 June 2009.
Cash Flow
Total first-quarter cash flow amounted to EUR 2.84 million in 2009/2010 and was thus higher than the year before (previous year: EUR 1.26 million). The cash flow from operating activities declined from EUR 16.56 million to EUR 12.19 million. This decrease is attributable to a lower result for the period and to the fact that suppliers had not yet completed their billing of the EURO 2008 contract in the first quarter of last year. The cash flow from investing activities is lower than in the first quarter of 2008/2009 due to less investment activity. The lower cash flow from financing activities can be traced mainly to the lower scheduled repayments of financial liabilities.
Investments
Payments for investments in tangible and intangible fixed assets amounted to EUR 2.30 million. Key single items are investments undertaken at the Turkish DO & CO joint venture, renovation and expansion of the business location in Vienna, and the expansion of the Airline Catering facility in London.
Employees
The first-quarter figure for the average number of employees decreased to 3,802 in the current year from 3,993 last year. This change is due to the EURO 2008 project conducted in the first quarter of last year and to group-wide adjustments to personnel in response to the general economic situation. By contrast, personnel in Turkish operations actually increased after the joint venture assumed responsibility for additional services.
Airline Catering
Twenty-two gourmet kitchens provide passengers in First Class, Business Class and Economy Class with the fine culinary products that make up the DO & CO board menus. More than 60 airlines are supplied with DO & CO products at business locations in New York, London, Frankfurt, Berlin, Munich, Milan, Bratislava, Malta, Salzburg, Vienna, Linz and Graz and at nine further locations in Turkey.
The Airline Catering clientele at the various business locations includes the Austrian Airlines Group, Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, South African Airways, KLM, Iberia, Air France and NIKI.

Airline Catering saw sharp declines in sales with its key account in Austria, but these losses were nearly offset by the excellent trend at international business locations. Business locations in Turkey fared especially well. DO & CO recognized changes in the demand situation early on in this business segment and adjusted quickly to market conditions.
Airline Catering posted first quarter sales of EUR 61.39 million in business year 2009/2010 (previous year: EUR 63.00 million). EBITDA increased by a slight EUR 0.43 million, from EUR 4.98 million to EUR 5.41 million, thanks to highly effective cost management and good utilization of capacity at international business locations. That corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 8.8 % (previous year: 7.9 %). EBIT increased by EUR 0.09 million, rising from EUR 1.86 million to EUR 1.95 million. The EBIT margin was thus 3.2 % (previous year: 2.9%).
International Event Catering
The change in sales and profit growth compared with the previous year can be traced mainly to the EURO 2008.
In general, there is a noticeable trend towards a reserved spend willingness by both companies as well as private customers. Nevertheless, DO & CO was able to improve its market position as customers often like to revert to brands with a clear content in times of a difficult market environment.
| International | Q1 2009/10 | Q1 2008/09 | Change | Change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Event Catering | in m € | in m € | in m € | in % |
| Sales | 11.95 | 50.66 | -38.71 | -76.4% |

| Depreciation/amortization | -0.09 | -0.49 | 0.40 | 81.8% |

Two highlights should be mentioned in the large-scale international event segment. DO & CO was contracted to stage the Champions League Finals in Rome and the ATP tennis tournament, the Mutua Madrilena Madrid Open (with 34,000 VIP's!).
It should be noted that attendance at high-end soccer, tennis and equestrian events has dropped only very slightly compared with the overall market.
The EBITDA in the International Event Catering Division declined from EUR 2.81 million by EUR -1.82 million to EUR 0.99 million. This corresponds to an EBITDA margin of 8.3 % (previous year: 5.6 %). EBIT is EUR 0.90 million. As a result, the EBIT margin is at 7.5 % (previous year: 4.6 %).
The high proportion of transitory sales on guest infrastructure for the EURO 2008 affected the margins in the first quarter of last year. The previous year's EBITDA margin, adjusted by the margin-free sales, is 9.4 %; the adjusted EBIT margin is 7.8 %.

| EBITDA margin adjusted | 8.3% | 9.4% |
| EBIT margin adjusted | 7.5% | 7.8% |
Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel
Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel saw first-quarter sales decline by -8.1 % in 2009/2010, to a figure of EUR 14.99 million (previous year: EUR 16.31 million). This can particularly be traced to the falling away of additional business during the EURO 2008. DO & CO was nevertheless able to maintain the result at last year's level through a timely adaptation of costs to meet changed market conditions.
| Restaurants, Lounges | Q1 2009/10 | Q1 2008/09 | Change | Change |

| & Hotel | in m € | in m € | in m € | in % |

| Depreciation/amortization | -0.53 | -0.58 | 0.05 | 8.4% |

| EBITDA margin | 7.5% | 7.5% | ||
| EBIT margin | 3.9% | 3.9% | ||
| Share of Group Sales | 17.0% | 12.5% |
First-quarter EBITDA for Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel amounts to EUR 1.12 million in business year 2009/2010 (previous year: EUR 1.22 million). The EBITDA margin is at the same level as the previous year, namely 7.5 %. EBIT amounts to EUR 0.59 million. That corresponds to an EBIT margin of 3.9 % (previous year: 3.9 %).
DO & CO Stock/Investor Relations
The ATX posted considerable gains in the period under review, closing at 2,099 points on 30 June 2009. This figure represents an increase of 23.7 % compared with the closing level of 1,697 points on 31 March 2009.
Over this same period, the price of DO & CO shares rose by 6.2 %, closing on 30 June 2009 at a price of EUR 8.60. This price corresponds to market capitalization of EUR 66.76 million (taking into account the shares bought back as of the reporting date).
The stock buyback program begun in October of 2008 was continued. A total of 31,830 shares had been repurchased by 30 June 2009. That corresponds to 0.408 % of the share capital.
Outlook
In general, DO & CO is very well positioned in this extremely difficult market environment. DO & CO management sees the crisis as opening up many opportunities for further growth over the next 12 to 18 months.
A unique company culture, a high equity capital ratio, an innovative range of products as well as a high degree of flexibility within the in-house organization are significant competitive advantages in this difficult market environment.
A number of new invitations to tender are occurring in the airline catering sector, creating many opportunities for a flexible supplier such as DO & CO to add new customers to its clientele. Airlines are looking for innovative products at a reasonable price. With its innovative products and lean cost structures, DO & CO is uniquely positioned to satisfy the needs of today's market.
In International Event Catering, DO & CO has adapted effectively to the volatile market and adjusted its costs on time. DO & CO management hopes to improve the company's market position in this business segment, too, as seen in the first quarter trend.
Business at Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel is expected to remain stable. The division will focus on a project involving the construction of a hotel in a prime location in Istanbul. DO & CO is also working on further improving existing business locations.
Generally speaking, DO & CO's management is confident that it will continue its success course of the past few years also in the future. Innovations, excellently trained staff as well as the best standards for products and service enable DO & CO to achieve very good growth opportunities even in the future - despite a difficult market environment. Therefore, - barring unforeseen circumstances, particularly those outside DO & CO's sphere of influence - the expectation for 2009/2010 is that results will develop according to plan.

Notes on Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
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 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 2009/2010 as applied in the European Union and in application of the parent's standard group-wide accounting and valuation principles.
The interim financial statements as of 30 June 2009 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 conjunction with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2009.
Unless otherwise indicated, the interim financial statements are stated in thousands of euros (TEUR), as are the figures in the Notes. In adding up rounded figures and percentages, rounding differences may occur due to the use of automated computing aids.
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 2009.
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 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 2009. 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 in an adjustment item 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 June 2009 | 30 June 2008 | 30 June 2009 | 30 June 2008 |
| 1 US Dollar | 0.707514 | 0.634357 | 0.723377 | 0.640895 |
| 1 British Pound | 1.173571 | 1.262228 | 1.146187 | 1.266692 |
| 1 Turkish Lira (formerly: New Turkish Lira) | 0.462663 | 0.517518 | 0.465211 | 0.515908 |
| 1 Swiss Franc | 0.655093 | 0.622820 | 0.659955 | 0.618844 |
| 1 Slovac Koruny | - | 0.033107 | - | 0.032387 |
5. Seasonal Nature of Business
Fluctuations in business volume are significant in Airline Catering and International Event Catering. Business in Airline Catering is primarily influenced by the larger volume of flights and passengers among airline customers in the first and second quarters of the business year due to the holiday and charter season whereas the main factor for International Event Catering is the changing dates of large-scale sports events.
