Sales at the Airline Catering division rose by € 35.64m from € 203.86m to € 239.50m, in spite of a challenging market environment during the period.
Sales growth for the Airline Catering division was particularly strong at the international locations.
At New York's John F. Kennedy Airport, British Airways and Etihad Airways, both newly acquired in the second quarter of 2012/2013, were the motor of expansion of activities. Additional sales growth derived from DO & CO Poland, a subsidiary first included in the profit and loss statement in 2012/2013. Turkish DO & CO achieved satisfactory growth rates in the first half of 2013/2014 from third-party customers as well as from Turkish Airlines. The Austrian locations once again reported declining sales to its major customers, the result of ongoing austerity schemes implemented for these customers.
The International Event Catering division rang up sales of € 30.73m in the first six months of 2013/2014 (compared to € 49.76m in the first half of 2012/2013).
The decline was due to the fact that the UEFA EURO 2012 football championship had been held in the previous year. Sales were highly satisfactory for major events and classic events.
The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division reported sales of € 60.46m in the first half of 2013/2014, an increase of 18.1% over the same period in the previous year (€ 51.21m).
The rise was due mostly to the satisfactory performances of lounges, retail and staff restaurants units as well as the railway catering business.
3. Earnings
Consolidated earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the DO & CO Group amounted to € 25.67m for the first half of the 2013/2014 business year, € 1.56m higher than in the corresponding period of the previous year. The EBIT margin was 7.8% (vs 7.9% in the first half of 2012/2013).
EBITDA for the DO & CO Group was € 34.58m (first half of 2012/2013: € 31.62m). The EBITDA margin was 10.5% (compared to 10.4% in the first half of 2012/2013).

Cost of materials and services as a proportion of sales remained roughly at the level of the previous year (42.3% vs. 41.9% in the first half of 2012/2013). In absolute terms, expenditure on materials rose by € 12.07m (+9.4%), against a sales growth rate of +8.5%.
Personnel expenses as a proportion of sales showed a similar development (31.8% vs. 31.2% in the first half of 2012/2013). In absolute terms, they rose from € 95.25m to € 105.13m.

The tax ratio (taxes as a proportion of untaxed income) was 25.3% in the first half of the 2013/2014 business year (compared to 26.2% for the first half of 2012/2013).
Net result for the first half of 2013/2014 were € 14.58m (compared to € 14.22m for the corresponding period in 2012/2013). Earnings per share reached € 1.50 (vs. € 1.46 for the first half of 2012/2013).
4. Balance Sheet
The balance sheet total was reduced from € 352.26m on 31 March 2013 to € 345.73m on 30 September 2013, the result, mostly, of a substantial decline in the price for the Turkish lira, the functional currency of the fully consolidated subsidiary Turkish DO & CO, which is reflected in all balance sheet items.
Current assets declined by € 8.61m to € 187.10m on 30 September 2013, as against the balance sheet date of 31 March 2013.
Consolidated equity recorded a rise of € 5.05m, from € 184.84m as of 31 March 2013 to € 189.90m as of 30 September 2013.
The equity ratio rose to 55.8%, as against 53.3% on 31 March 2013.
Current provisions and liabilities showed a rise of € 4.01m to € 119.69m from the corresponding balance sheet date of the previous year.
5. Employees
The average number of employees rose to 6.992. This rise was due mostly to the consolidation of DO & CO Poland and an expansion of business in the US and Turkey.
6. Airline Catering
Having established a unique, innovative and competitive product portfolio, the Airline Catering division contributes the largest share to the overall sales of the DO & CO Group.
At the global level, the DO & CO gourmet kitchens in New York, London, Istanbul, Frankfurt, Munich, Milan, Malta, Warsaw, Kiev and Vienna and other locations in Austria, Turkey and Poland are setting new standards in the premium segment of the airline catering business.
DO & CO has built up a customer portfolio consisting of more than 60 airlines. This clientele includes major players such as the Austrian Airlines Group, NIKI, Turkish Airlines, British Airways, Singapore Airlines, Oman Air, Cathay Pacific, Emirates Airline, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Egypt Air, Malaysia Airlines, EVA Air, China Southern Airlines, Royal Jordanian, China Airlines and Asiana Airlines.

During the first six months of 2013/2014, the Airline Catering division rang up sales of € 239.50m (first half of the previous year: € 203.86m), a rise of 17.5% over the same period last year. The division contributed 72.4% of the Group's overall sales (first half of 2012/2013: 66.9%).
EBITDA and EBIT increased once again: at € 27.36m, EBITDA improved by € 4.71m (+20.8%) over the same period in the previous year. EBIT rose from € 16.68m to € 20.28m (+21.6%). The EBITDA margin was 11.4% compared to 11.1% in the first half of the previous year. The EBIT margin was 8.5% (first half of 2012/2013: 8.2%).
DO & CO's international locations all reported substantial growth over the previous year.
Growth was particularly notable at New York's John F. Kennedy Airport. British Airways and Etihad Airways, newly added to the portfolio of customers in the second quarter of the 2012/2013 business year, have boosted the location's activities, and its growth was further fuelled by an expansion of business with its other customers.
DO & CO Poland, a subsidiary first included in the profit figures in the fourth quarter of 2012/2013, also made a contribution to the division's growth. The Warsaw location gained Qatar Airways as a new customer.
Turkish DO & CO performed well both with its third-party customers and Turkish Airlines. The "Flying Chef" concept is being continuously expanded. By the end of September, fully 400 "Flying Chefs" were working for Turkish Airlines.
The Austrian locations once again reported declining sales to its major customers, the result of ongoing austerity schemes implemented for these customers.
7. International Event Catering
The International Event Catering division generated sales of € 30.73m in the first half of 2013/2014 (compared to € 49.76m in the corresponding period of the previous business year). The decline was due to the fact that the UEFA EURO 2012 football championship had been held in the first half of 2012/2013.
EBITDA for the first half of 2013/2014 amounted to € 3.44m (vs. € 5.47m in the same period last year). The EBITDA margin was 11.2% (first half of 2012/2013: 11.0%). EBIT accounted for € 2.85m (first half of 2012/2013: € 4.90m), and the EBIT margin was reported at 9.3% (first half of 2012/2013: 9.8%).

Paramount among the Major Events were the Formula 1 grand prix races and several largescale sports events.
In the first half of 2013/2014, DO & CO catered to altogether ten Formula 1 grand prix races, where 33,000 VIP guests overall enjoyed its cuisine. For the second quarter the division organised the catering for the European races in Germany, Hungary, Belgium and Italy.
Following the ATP Tennis Masters series in Madrid, the CHIO in Aachen and the UEFA Champions League Final in London, one of the season's highlights was once again the beach volleyball European Championship at the Wörthersee/Carinthia which featured DO & CO indulging 5,500 VIP guests in seven days. Also scheduled in the second quarter was a CDI dressage competition in Carinthia, where DO & CO provided the culinary treats for 2,000 VIP guests.
The Classic Events unit similarly reported satisfactory growth rates for the first half of 2013/2014.
An anchor event of the division is the annual film festival at the Rathausplatz in Vienna.

The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division consists of the following units: restaurants, lounges, hotel, Demel, staff restaurants, retailing, airport gastronomy and railway catering.
The Lounges unit reported growth in the first half of 2013/2014. Its performance was boosted by the lounges in Turkey and the Emirates lounge opened at Milan Malpensa in the last quarter of 2012/2013. In Istanbul, it launched two new lounges for Turkish Airlines in the first six months of 2013/2014: the crew lounge for Turkish Airlines pilots and flight attendants, which opened in the first quarter, was followed by an arrivals lounge for business class travellers in the second quarter.
DO & CO is set on a course of expansion also when it comes to airport catering. Since July 2013, DO & CO has been operating two "Henry" shops at Kiev Airport. The gastronomy at Bodrum Airport reported satisfactory performance and further growth for the second quarter of 2013/2014.
Retail expansion continued in the first half of 2013/2014 when another "Henry" shop was opened at The Mall in central Vienna.
The Railway Catering unit similarly reported increased sales. Now that the subdivision has been integrated in the DO & CO Group, the "Henry am Zug" team has over the past weeks been developing and implementing numerous measures to optimise the process.
The DO & CO restaurants and Demel cafés did well in the first half of the 2013/2014 business year.
It should be noted that DO & CO's successful cooperation with the Albertina museum location was extended by another ten years.
Staff restaurants put in a good performance as well. A newcomer to the DO & CO portfolio is the staff restaurant at the Presidency Office in Istanbul, added in the second quarter of the 2013/2014 business year.

10. Risk Management
Risk management processes and identified risks remained unchanged during the first half of the 2013/2014 business year.
11. Outlook
The Airline Catering division will continue to concentrate its sales activities at the DO & CO locations on expanding business relations with existing customers as much as acquiring new additions to its client portfolio.
An event of note in the division is that, since 3 November 2013, DO & CO has been catering for two daily flights between London City and New York John F. Kennedy operated by British Airways.
The International Event Catering division will close its DO & CO racing season 2013 in its third quarter with the overseas Formula 1 grand prix races in South Korea, Japan, India, Abu Dhabi and the US.
A highlight of the division's report is that DO & CO won the tender for running operations at the Vienna Rathausplatz film festival venue.
The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division expects to continue its dynamic performance of the past months.
The Lounges unit experienced positive developments as well: DO & CO will enlarge the Turkish Airlines lounge at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport, opened in 2011, to respond to the great demand. In this field, too, DO & CO is bidding in further tenders.
Retail expansion is being carried forward apace, and the "Henry" team is focusing on evaluating potential new locations. Over the next months, DO & CO is set to launch additional "Henry" shops in Vienna.
DO & CO's airport gastronomy unit is similarly set on expansion. Following the opening of two "Henry" shops at Kiev Airport, DO & CO has progressed to the second round of bidding for the airport gastronomy at Warsaw Airport.
The Restaurants, Lounges and Hotel division is also concentrating its efforts on the work to build the hotel, restaurant and event centre in Istanbul. The restaurant is scheduled to open in the summer of 2014, while the hotel and event centre are to start operations at the end of 2014.
It should be noted that DO & CO will cease its operations at the Casino Baden in January 2014.
As in past quarters, DO & CO is continuing to evaluate targets for acquisition in a number of airline catering, restaurants and retail markets.
Overall, DO & CO management is highly confident that it can continue its successful performance of the past years. A focus on innovation, superior product and service standards and excellently trained and committed staff provide the underpinnings for DO & CO to make the best possible use of all its growth potential.

The imputable share to shareholders of the DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
I. General information
1. General
DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft is an international catering group with headquarters in 1010 Vienna, Stephansplatz 12. It conducts business in the following three segments: Airline Catering, International Event Catering, and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel.
Balance sheet date is 31 March.
The interim financial statements of all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements were properly prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as adopted by the EU that are effective for the business year 2013/2014, and in accordance with group-wide accounting principles set out by the parent company.
The interim financial statements as of 30 September 2013 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The consolidated interim financial statements do not contain all information and disclosures that are included in the financial statements, and should be read in connection with the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2013.
Unless otherwise stated, the interim financial statements were prepared in millions of euros (m€), figures in the notes are also given in millions of euros (m€). Where rounded amounts and percentages are aggregated, rounding related differences may occur due to the use of automated calculation aids.
2. Accounting principles
The profit/loss from investments accounted for using the equity method is presented within the operating result (EBIT) as of the first quarter of the financial year 2013/2014.
The amendments to IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" result in changes in the presentation of items of the statement of financial position/statement of comprehensive income. The individual items of the statement of financial position/statement of comprehensive income are to be broken down into items that will never be reclassified to the income statement and items that will be reclassified to the income statement if certain requirements are met.
The accounting standard IFRS 13 "Fair Value Measurement" was applied for the first time. IFRS 13 summarises the requirements regarding fair value measurement and does not materially affect the consolidated financial statements. The first-time application of this accounting standard results in additional disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
3. Scope of Consolidation
As at 30 September 2013, a new company was founded in Great Britain.
4. Seasonality
Airline Catering and International Event Catering are subject to fluctuations in business volume. Whereas increased flight and passenger numbers are of critical importance particularly in the first and second quarter of the business year due to the holiday and charter season, the changing dates for major sporting events are key in International Event Catering.

II.1. Consolidated Statement of Financial Position
The balance sheet total declined from € 352.26m on 31 March 2013 to € 345.73m on 30 September 2013. This is mainly due to the weakening of the Turkish lira, which is the functional currency of the fully consolidated subsidiary Turkish DO & CO. The weak Turkish lira is reflected in all balance sheet items.

(10) Financial Instruments
As at 30 September 2013, the DO & CO group held the following classes of financial instruments measured at fair value:
Level 1: Using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2: Using inputs for the asset or liability, other than quoted prices, that are observable either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
Level 3: Using inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data such as prices, but on internal models or other valuation methods.
| in m€ | Fair Value of Financial instruments |
Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-current assets | 0.23 | 0.21 | 0.00 | 0.02 |
| Current assets | 57.59 | 57.59 | 0.00 | 0.00 |
Compared with the levels at 31 March 2013, the changes in the level 3 carrying amounts mainly result from currency differences.
(11) Material events after the balance sheet date (supplementary report)
Events after 30 September 2013 that are material for the measurement as of the balance sheet date, such as pending lawsuits, claims for damages, or other obligations or impending losses which need to be recorded or disclosed in accordance with IAS 10 (Events after the Balance Sheet Date), have either been accounted for in these interim consolidated financial statements of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft or have not come to our attention.
(12) Substantial risks and contingencies in the 2nd half of the business year 2013/2014
DO & CO considers risk management as a major corporate management tool. Changes in the environment and any potential risks that may result from these changes are responded to comprehensively, in due time and efficiently.
In the first half of the business year 2013/2014 higher volatilities, particularly with regard to the Turkish lira and US dollar, were noted. The Management Board expects the increased volatilities to continue also in the second half of the business year 2013/2014. As a consequence, in the next 6 months of the reporting year, the exchange rate development will also be subject to increased monitoring under the risk management process and corresponding hedging measures will be taken, if required. In general, closed positions are set up as a hedge by trying to offset proceeds in a given foreign currency against expenses in that same currency and with the same maturity. In addition, contractual agreements are entered into with customers and suppliers to avoid additional risks as much as possible.
Moreover, financial instruments and/or derivative financial instruments are used where necessary to manage currency risks. As at the balance sheet date, no derivative instruments were used.

Report on the review of the condensed interim consolidated financial statements
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft, Vienna, for the period from 1 April 2013 to 30 September 2013. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2013, the consolidated income statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of cash flows and the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period from 1 April 2013 to 30 September 2013 and the condensed notes, which comprise a condensed presentation of material accounting principles and other explanatory notes.
The Company's management is responsible for the preparation of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS for interim reporting as adopted by the EU. Our responsibility is to give a review summary on these condensed interim consolidated financial statements based on our review.
Scope of the review
We have performed the review in accordance with the relevant expert opinions and standards, in particular KFS/PG 11 "Guidelines for the review of financial statements" and the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information by the Independent Auditor of the Entity." The review of interim financial statements includes interviews, primarily with persons responsible for finance and accounting, and analytical assessments and other surveys. A review is significantly less in scope than an audit and requires less evidence, and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit and that the financial statements are free from material misstatement. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Review summary
Based on our review, no matters have come to our attention that cause us to presume that the accompanying condensed interim consolidated financial statements have not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the IFRS for interim reporting as adopted by the EU.
Statement on the group management report for the half-year and on the statement of the legal representatives pursuant to Sec. 87 BörseG
We have read the group management report for the half-year as of 30 September 2013 and made an assessment as to whether it does not show any obvious inconsistencies with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the group management report for the half-year does not contain any obvious inconsistencies with the condensed interim consolidated financial statements.
The half-year financial report contains the statement of the legal representatives required by Sec. 87 (1) No. 3 BörseG.
