In the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018, the DO & CO Group recorded revenue in the amount of € 219.95m, representing a decline of -13.6% or € -34.56m on the previous year.

Group Revenue 100.0% 100.0%

In the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018, revenue of the Airline Catering division fell by € -15.08m from € 158.58m to € 143.50m. This represents a decrease of -9.5%. The Airline Catering division's revenue produced 65.2% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 62.3%).

With regard to the decline in revenue reported by the Airline Catering division, the significant depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro is particularly worth mentioning. Based on the historic average rates of the previous quarter of the business year 2016/2017, the Airline Catering division would report a decline in sales of only approx. -1% on the previous year.

In the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018, revenue of the International Event Catering division fell by € -18.12m from € 54.03m to € 35.91m. This represents a decrease of -33.5%. The International Event Catering division's revenue produced 16.3% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 21.2%).

The significant decline in revenue in the International Event Catering division is chiefly due to the missing activities during the European football championship compared to the previous year. In the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018, revenue of the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division decreased by € -1.37m from € 41.90m to € 40.53m. This represents a decrease of -3.3%. The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division's revenue produced 18.4% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 16.5%).

In the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division, it is particularly the area of lounges as well as retail that contribute to this decline in revenue.

2.2. Result

Other operating income amounts to € 4.94m (PY: € 3.34m), representing an increase of € +1.60m.

In absolute figures, cost of materials fell by € -17.74m (-15.7%), from € 112.79m to € 95.05m, at a revenue reduction rate of -13.6%. Cost of materials as a proportion of revenue thus decreased slightly from 44.3% to 43.2%.

Personnel expenses in absolute figures fell from € 80.72m to € 72.66m (-10.0%) in the first quarter of 2017/2018. In relation to revenue, personnel expenses thus decreased from 31.7% to 33.0%.

Other operating expenses show a decrease of € -2.45m or -6.0%. Accordingly, operating expenses made up 17.4% of revenue (PY: 16.0%).

The result of investments accounted for using the equity method amounts to € -0.10m (PY: € -0.61m) in the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018.

The EBITDA margin stands at 8.5% (PY: 9.0%) in the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018.

In the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018, amortisation/depreciation and effects from impairment tests amounted to € 7.75m, representing a decrease of € -0.75m on the previous year (PY: € 8.51m).

The EBIT margin was 5.0% in the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018 (PY: 5.7%).

The financial result for the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018 declined from € -0.70m to € -1.50m and mainly comprises interest for the corporate bond placed at the beginning of 2014.

Income tax amounts to € 2.67m (PY: € 3.45m) for the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018 representing a decrease of € -0.78m. The tax ratio (taxes as a proportion of untaxed income) was 28.2% in the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018 (PY: 25.1%).

For the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018, the Group achieved a profit after income tax of € 6.82m, a decrease of € -3.48m on the previous year. Thus reflecting a decrease of € -33.8% in the profit after income tax in comparison to the previous year. € 2.10m (PY: € 3.54m) of the profit after income tax is attributable to non-controlling interests.

The net profit attributable to the shareholders of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft (net result) therefore amounts to € 4.72m (PY: € 6.75m). Earnings per share are therefore € 0.48 (PY: € 0.69).

2.3. Statement of Financial Position

The Group's equity (adjusted for the designated dividends) amounts to € 244.59m as of 30 June 2017. The equity ratio thus is 38.1% as of 30 June 2017.

2.4. Employees

The average number of staff (full-time equivalent) in the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018 was 9,578 (PY: 10,093 employees). This means a decrease of -515 members of staff on the prior year. Reasons for this decline are in particular the reduction of employees in Turkey as a reaction of the lower order levels.

The major part of DO & CO's locations reports increases in revenue in their local currency. It is particularly the locations in Germany, the US, Great Britain, Poland and Italy that report a positive development. With regard to Ukraine, a downward trend in the business development was reported, particularly due to the loss of the most important customer who now does his own catering. NIKI transferred its business to Germany and Switzerland and implemented a buy-onboard concept. Consequently, the revenue generated with NIKI has decreased.

In Turkey, one of the key markets of DO & CO, revenue declined by -8.6% in the local currency (Turkish lira). The decrease in revenue translates to a decline by -24.1% in the consolidated income statement of DO & CO due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro. Since the main portion of costs is incurred in the local currency, the margins remain basically unaffected by this development.

The strong decline in revenue in this division is particularly due to the missing activities during the football championship compared to the previous year.

In the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018, seven Formula 1 grand prix races took place. The VIP guests enjoyed DO & CO catering at its best in Shanghai, Bahrain, Sochi, Barcelona, Monaco, Montreal and Baku. Further, DO & CO has been responsible for the Formula 1 VIP hospitality infrastructure. This includes the provision of non-catering services, such as tents, furniture, security, decoration and entertainment. The DO & CO team has also provided the catering of the Mercedes Motorhomes.

Moreover, the DO & CO event team was again in charge of the catering to VIP guests and the tennis players themselves at the ATP Tennis Masters Series in Madrid. One more highlight of the event calendar was the UEFA Champions League final held at the national stadium of Wales in Cardiff, with DO & CO being responsible for the culinary delights.

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.

Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 1st Quarter of 2017/2018 (unaudited)

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 2017/2018, and in accordance with group-wide accounting principles set out by the parent company.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2017 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 2017.

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.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2017 have neither been audited nor reviewed.

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 2017.

No new and/or amended standards and interpretations became effective in the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018 or were adopted early on a voluntary basis.

For further information on the accounting and valuation methods applied, we refer to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2017 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. Scope of consolidation

There have been no changes to the scope of consolidation as compared to 31 March 2017.

1.4. Seasonality

Airline Catering and International Event Catering are subject to 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. In the first quarter this seasonality is reflected in the working capital structure.

2. Comments on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

2.1. Shareholders' equity

By resolution of the 19th General Meeting of Shareholders of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft held on 27 July 2017, a dividend of € 0.85 per dividend-bearing share for the business year 2016/2017 was approved.

Furthermore, the members of the Management Board were granted the right to acquire shares of their own (on exchange/off exchange) to an extent of 10% of the nominal capital.

3. Comments on the Consolidated Income Statement

3.1. Revenue

One reason for the decline in revenues in the Airline Catering division is the significant loss in value of the Turkish lira against the euro. Furthermore, Turkish DO & CO initiated a cost-cutting programme for its main customer Turkish Airlines in the business year 2016/2017, resulting in a corresponding reduction of revenues. The significant revuenue decrease in the International Event Catering division is particularly due to the missing activities during the European football championship compared to the previous year.

3.2. Other operating income

The costs estimated to be incurred by the social plan in the course of the reorganisation of the French subsidiary have decreased as a result of reaching an agreement with the employee representatives and obtaining the approval by the authorities. The provision was therefore partially released.

3.3. Result of equity investments accounted for using the equity method

In the first quarter of the business year 2017/2018 € 0.18m proportionate losses were recorded off-balance sheet.

3.4. Earnings per share

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 methods applied to the financial instruments have occurred in the interim reporting period compared to the financial statements as of 31 March 2017.
