Most locations reported an increase in sales, particularly those in the US and Germany. Austria, Italy and Poland remained stable. Business declined in Ukraine, mostly due to the loss of the most important client, which operates its own catering.

Turkey, one of the key markets of DO & CO, managed to grow by +4.4% in the country's currency (Turkish lira), which, however, due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira vis-à-vis the euro is reflected as a decrease in sales amounting to -2.7% in the DO & CO Group's income statement. Similarly, the British pound depreciated vis-à-vis the reporting currency, causing a decrease in sales of -4.8% while in local currency a sales increase of +8.2% is reported. The major part of the costs occurs in local currency; therefore the margins are not affected.

The substantial sales increase reported by this division was due to its activities during the European Football Championship UEFA EURO 2016. DO & CO, or specifically Hédiard Paris, operated as the hospitality production management company for one of the largest sports events ever to have taken place in Europe. At 51 games, DO & CO served its special culinary treats to over 110,000 VIP guests in nine cities and ten different stadiums.

During the second quarter of the current business year DO & CO acted as the culinary host for VIPs not only for the already described sports event but, i.a., also at:

  • the Formula 1 grand prix races in Austria, the UK, Hungary, Germany, Belgium and Italy,
  • the CHIO in Aachen,
  • many football games at the Allianz Arena, the home of FC Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich,
  • activities at Munich's Olympic Park,
  • the Beach Volleyball Grand Slam in Klagenfurt and Porec.

2. Outlook

In the first half of 2016/2017 business year, DO & CO, in spite of facing some difficult regional markets and negative effects from currency developments, was able to further increase both its sales and its earnings. It should be emphasised that the company's main focus is still on its sustainable business model with long-term positive margin developments.

Thanks to its highly diverse distribution channels, a widespread brand portfolio and activities in a large number of regions, DO & CO is in an excellent position to cope with a challenging market and continues to be confident of future growth prospects.

NEW LOCATIONS ARE SET UP IN LOS ANGELES AND PARIS

DO & CO continues on its course of expansion and will enter into further regions through two new gourmet kitchens in Los Angeles and Paris.

TURKEY

Regarding the engagement in Turkey, it should be noted that DO & CO has performed a comprehensive evaluation of its activities in Turkey and will continue these as planned. DO & CO is fully committed to its long-term projects in Turkey. Renewal of the contract with Turkish Airlines is currently being negotiated.

RETAIL & HENRY GOURMET SHOPS

In its retail business, at least eight new gourmet shops of the Henry brand will be opened in 2017; four of them in Vienna and four in London. A new addition will be a gourmet food delivery service starting next quarter.

AIRLINE LOUNGES

It is to be highlighted that DO & CO is scheduled to open its 30th airline lounge worldwide in Frankfurt on 1 December 2016.

NEW ACQUISITIONS

Same as in the previous quarters, DO & CO is evaluating potential targets for acquisition in various markets on an ongoing basis.

Overall, DO & CO's 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 foundation for DO & CO to make the best possible use of all its growth potentials.

3. Consolidated statement of financial position

In the first half of the business year 2016/2017, current assets decreased by € 16.08m from € 332.69m to € 316.60m. This decrease is due to a decline in cash and cash equivalents.

The Group's equity amounts to € 258.87m as of 30 September 2016. The equity ratio thus is 41.5% as of 30 September 2016.

With the ending of the UEFA EURO 2016, the current provisions and liabilities report a decline by € 8.97m to € 183.92m in comparison with the reporting date 31 March 2016.

4. Employees

The average number of staff (full-time equivalent) in the first half of the business year 2016/2017 was 10,100 (PY: 9,890). This means an increase of 210 members of staff on the prior year, which is mainly due to an expansion of the business activities in Germany and Great Britain. Ukraine reports a reduction in the number of staff.

5. Opportunity and Risk Management

Key risks and risk management remained mainly unchanged in the first half of the business year 2016/2017. A detailed description is included in the Annual Financial Report of the business year 2015/2016. The material uncertainties affecting the results of the DO & CO Group in 2016 are still specific risks and developments in the airline industry which are mitigated by further diversification.

6. DO & CO shares / investor relations

Stock market overview

The result of the British Brexit referendum was the defining event in the first half of the business year 2016/2017 and led to increased uncertainty on the European stock markets.

The ATX rose from 2,270.38 points as of 31 March 2016 to 2,405.28 points on 30 September 2016 during the reporting period. This means an increase of 5.9%. The Istanbul Stock Exchange reported a negative development in the first half of the business year 2016/2017. The BIST 100, which is the Turkish leading index, fell from 83,268.04 to 76,488.38 points as of 30 September 2016 (-8.1%).

DO & CO share

After the share price had gained more than 50% on the Vienna Stock Exchange and 75% on the Istanbul Stock Exchange in the business year 2015/2016, DO & CO's share was subject to a decline in the first half of the business year 2016/2017.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the 1st Half Year of 2016/2017 (condensed)

1. General information

1.1. Basis

DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft (DO & CO, the Company), domiciled in 1010 Vienna, Stephansplatz 12, is the parent company of an international catering group. It conducts business in the three divisions Airline Catering, International Event Catering, and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel.

The reporting 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 2016/2017, and in accordance with group-wide accounting principles set out by the parent company.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2016 were prepared in accordance with IAS 34 (Interim Financial Reporting). The interim consolidated 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 2016.

Unless otherwise stated, the interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in millions of euros (m€), figures in the notes are also given in millions of euros (m€). Both individual figures and total amounts represent the smallest rounding difference. When the reported individual figures are aggregated, slight differences to the reported total amounts may therefore arise.

1.2. Accounting and valuation methods

The accounting and valuation methods applied in the course of the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements comply with those used in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2016.

The new and/or amended standards and interpretations effective in the business year 2016/2017 have no material impact on the financial position, financial performance and results of the Group as presented in the interim consolidated financial statements.

For further information on the accounting and valuation methods applied as well as with regard to the new standards effective as of 1 April 2016 (standards to be applied mandatorily by DO & CO), we refer to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2016 that form the basis of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting and valuation methods requires assumptions and estimates to be made which have an effect on the amount and the presentation of the reported assets and liabilities, on the disclosed contingent assets and liabilities at the end of the interim reporting period, as well as on the income and expenses reported during the reporting period. Although these estimates are made to the best of our knowledge based on current transactions, the actual values may in the end deviate from these estimates.

1.3. Retrospective adjustments

Due to the retrospective inclusion of Oleander Group AG and its subsidiary Lasting Impressions Food Company Ltd in the business year 2015/2016 DO & CO adjusted the comparative information for the first half of the business year 2015/2016 accordingly. We refer to the further explanations in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2016 under Section 3.2. in the Notes.

1.4. Scope of consolidation

In the first half of the business year 2016/2017, the following company was consolidated for the first time:

• Versilia Solutions Ltd. (at equity; 50%)

In accordance with the joint venture agreement entered into between DO & CO International Investments Ltd. and Versilia Group Holdings Ltd., DO & CO International Investments Ltd. undertook to grant a loan at a maximum of up to GBP 5.00m to the joint venture Versilia Solutions Ltd. for the expansion of the company's business activities. This obligation was not recognised in the consolidated financial statements.

1.5. Seasonality

Airline Catering and International Event Catering are subject to critical fluctuations in business volume. Whereas increased flight and passenger numbers are of significant importance for airline customers 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.

2. Notes to the consolidated statement of financial position

2.1. Property, plant and equipment

In the first half of the business year 2016/2017, DO & CO recognised impairment for property, plant and equipment in the amount of € 0.44m. This impairment is allocated mainly to the Airline Catering division in Ukraine and results from a decline in expected sales. It is reported in the consolidated income statement under amortisation/depreciation and impairments.

2.2. Shareholders' equity

By resolution of the 18th General Meeting of Shareholders of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft held on 21 July 2016, a dividend of € 0.85 per dividend-bearing share for the business year 2015/2016 was approved. The dividend was paid out on 8 August 2016.

2.3. Other current liabilities

in m€ 30 Sep 2016 31 March 2016
Advanced payments received on orders 0.21 2.81
Other liabilities 12.16 9.46
Deferred income 4.12 20.71
Total 16.49 32.98

The decrease of "deferred income" as compared to the prior year's reporting date is mainly due to the ending of the UEFA EURO 2016 in France. This project was completed in the second quarter of the business year 2016/2017.

The low tax ratio in the prior year results from the one-off effect of capitalising deferred tax assets on loss carry-forwards in the first half of the business year 2015/2016. Further countries with higher tax rates contribute more substantial results in the first half of the business year 2016/2017.

With regard to cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables as well as other current and noncurrent financial assets, the carrying amounts represent an adequate estimate of the fair values as the remaining maturities are short. The same applies to trade payables, other liabilities and current financial liabilities. The fair value is not disclosed in accordance with the exemption provision set forth under IFRS 7.29(a).

No changes in the accounting and valuation method applied to the financial instruments have occurred in the interim reporting period compared to the financial statements as of 31 March 2016.

4.2. Segment reporting

Segment reporting by division for the first half of the business year 2016/2017 and the first half of the business year 2015/2016 is as follows:

Both earnings figures, EBIT and EBITDA, are of relevance for the management with regard to control. Management predominantly focuses on EBIT in respect of resource allocation; EBIT therefore is the segment result within the meaning of IFRS 8. The values used for segment reporting comply with the accounting and valuation methods applied in the IFRS consolidated financial statements. The operating result (EBIT) is reported as segment result. The transfer prices are defined in line with the OECD Guidelines.

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 2016 to 30 September 2016. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2016, 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 2016 to 30 September 2016 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 Austrian Stock Exchange Act

We have read the group management report for the half-year as of 30 September 2016 of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft, Vienna, 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 Austrian Stock Exchange Act.
