The majority of the DO & CO locations reported a growth in sales in local currency, with the locations in the USA and Germany being particularly worth mentioning. Austria, Italy and Poland are stable. Business has declined in Ukraine, particularly due to the loss of the main customer who does its own catering.

In Turkey, one of the most important markets of DO & CO, sales increased when expressed in the local currency, the Turkish lira, by +3.5%. However, this increase is shown as a decline in sales of -4.8% in DO & CO's consolidated income statement because the Turkish lira has lost in value against the euro. The same development is reported for the British pound, since this currency also shows a loss in value against the euro. Instead of an increase in sales of +6.8% (local currency), sales declined due to this development by -7.9% (in euro). As the major part of costs is incurred in the respective local currencies, the margins remain largely unaffected.

The strong sales increase in this division is due to the activities during the European Football Championship UEFA EURO 2016. DO & CO respectively Hédiard Paris was the hospitality production management company at one of the biggest sports events that has ever been hosted in Europe. More than 110,000 VIP guests in 9 cities and 10 different stadiums enjoyed culinary delights at 51 matches.

In addition to this major sports event, DO & CO served culinary delights to the VIP guests for example at the following events in the third quarter of the current business year:

  • the Formula 1 Grands Prix in Malaysia, Japan, the USA, Mexico and Abu Dhabi,
  • several football matches at the Allianz Arena, home of FC Bayern Munich and TSV 1860 Munich,
  • and activities at the Olympic Park in Munich.

2. Outlook

With its diverse distribution possibilities, a rich brand portfolio as well as activities in various regions, DO & CO is very well positioned also for challenging market conditions and expects good development opportunities in the future as well.

NEW GOURMET KITCHENS TO COME IN LOS ANGELES AND PARIS

DO & CO will continue its expansion also in the future and open up further regions with two new gourmet kitchens in Los Angeles and Paris.

TURKEY

As regards the commitment in Turkey, it should be noted that DO & CO will continue its activities in Turkey as planned. DO & CO is fully committed to its long-term projects in Turkey. As regards renewal of the catering contract with Turkish Airlines, it is of interest to note that Turkish Airlines and Turkish DO & CO are negotiating the final wording of the contract, which is expected to be signed in the next few days.

RETAIL & HENRY GOURMET SHOPS

As regards Retail, at least eight new gourmet shops under the Henry brand will be opened in 2017, four each in Vienna and London.

NEW ACQUISITIONS

As in previous quarters, DO & CO continues to evaluate, on an ongoing basis, possible targets for acquisition in various markets.

DO & CO's management is 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 continue to provide the underpinnings for DO & CO to make the best possible use of its available growth potential.

3. Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

In the first three quarters of the business year 2016/2017, current assets decreased by € 25.94m from € 332.69m to € 306.74m. This is due to the decline in liquid funds.

Consolidated equity stands at € 258.97m as at 31 December 2016. The equity ratio thus is 42.6% as at 31 December 2016.

After the UEFA EURO 2016, current provisions and liabilities declined by € 23.95m to € 168.94m compared to the reporting date 31 March 2016.

4. Headcount

The average number of staff (full-time equivalent) was 9,888 in the first three quarters of the business year 2016/2017 (PY: 9,775). This means an increase of 114 members of staff on the prior year. This increase is mainly due to the expansion of business activities in Germany and Great Britain. Ukraine reports a decline in the number of staff.

5. Share / investor relations

Notes to the consolidated financial statements for the 1st to 3rd Quarter 2016/2017 (unaudited/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 31 December 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.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 31 December 2016 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 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 three quarters 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 three quarters of the business year 2016/2017, the following company was consolidated for the first time:

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

Following companies were liquidated and deconsolidated as of 31 December 2016:

  • DO & CO Hospitality Management Poland Sp. z o.o. w likwidacji (previously fully consolidated, 100%)
  • DO & CO Events Poland Sp. z o.o. w likwidacji (previously fully consolidated, 100%)

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 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 three quarters 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€ 31 Dec 2016 31 March 2016
Advanced payments received on orders 1.20 2.81
Other liabilities 10.87 9.46
Deferred income 1.86 20.71
Total 13.93 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.

3.1. Amortisation/depreciation and impairments

In the first three quarters of the business year 2016/2017, DO & CO recognised impairment for property, plant and equipment in the amount of € 0.44m. This impairment is mainly allocated to the Airline Catering division in Ukraine and results from a decline in expected sales.

Deferred taxes -0.27 2.12 -1.22 -1.45
Total -12.05 -5.38 -3.23 -2.38

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 three quarters of the business year 2015/2016. Further countries with higher tax rates contribute more substantial results in the first three quarters 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 three quarters of the business year 2016/2017 and the first three quarters 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.
