In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019, revenue of the Airline Catering division increased by € 4.89m from € 143.50m to € 148.39m. This represents an increase of 3.4%. The Airline Catering division's revenue produced 69.3% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 65.2%).

The major part of DO & CO's locations reports increases in revenue. It is particularly the locations in the US, Austria, Great Britain and Poland that report a positive development. In Turkey revenue showed a substantial increase by 28.5% in the local currency (Turkish lira), particularly due to the favourable development of passenger numbers at Turkish Airlines. In the consolidated income statement, DO & CO reports a decline in revenue of -2.9% due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro.

In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019, revenue of the International Event Catering division increased by € 0.44m from € 35.91m to € 36.35m. This represents an increase of 1.2%. The International Event Catering division's revenue produced 17.0% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 16.3%).

In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019, revenue of the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division decreased by € -11.19m from € 40.53m to € 29.34m. This represents a reduction of -27.6%. The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division's revenue produced 13.7% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 18.4%).

The marked decrease in revenue in this division is due to the termination of train catering services for the Austrian federal railways (ÖBB) per 31 March 2018.

2.2. Result

Other operating income amounts to € 2.17m (PY: € 4.94m), representing a decrease of € -2.77m.

In absolute figures, cost of materials decreased by € -4.24m (-4.5%), from € 95.05m to € 90.81m, at a revenue reduction rate of –2.7%. Cost of materials as a proportion of revenue thus decreased slightly from 43.2% to 42.4%.

Personnel expenses in absolute figures remain unchanged in the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 and amount to € 73.68m (PY: € 72.66m).

Other operating expenses show a decrease of € -5.63m or -14.7%. Accordingly, other operating expenses made up 15.3% of revenue (PY: 17.4%).

The result of equity investments accounted for using the equity method amounts to € -0.15m in the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 (PY: € -0.10m).

The EBITDA margin was 8.8% in the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 (PY: 8.5%).

In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019, amortisation/depreciation and effects from impairment tests amount to € 7.57m, and therefore remain at the level of the previous year (PY: € 7.75m).

The EBIT margin was 5.3% in the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 (PY: 5.0%).

The financial result for the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 increased from € -1.50m to € -0.25m. The financial result comprises mainly interest for the corporate bond placed at the beginning of 2014. The other financial result includes foreign exchanges differences resulting from group financing in foreign currencies.

Income tax amounts to € 3.04m for the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 (PY: € 2.67m), representing an increase by € 0.36m. The tax ratio (taxes as a proportion of untaxed income) was 27.3% in the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 (PY: 28.2%).

In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019, the Group achieved a profit after income tax of € 8.06m, an increase of € 1.24m on the same period of the previous year, thus reflecting an increase of 18.3% in the profit after income tax in comparison to the previous year. € 2.66m (PY: € 2.10m) 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 € 5.40m (PY: € 4.72m). Earnings per share are therefore € 0.55 (PY: € 0.48). The net result margin was 2.5% in the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 (PY: 2.1%).

2.3. Statement of financial position

The Group's equity amounts to € 238.29m as of 30 June 2018. The equity ratio thus is 40.9% as of 30 June 2018.

2.4. Employees

The average number of staff (full-time equivalent) in the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 was 10,080 (PY: 9,578 employees).

The major part of DO & CO's locations reports increases in revenue. Particularly the locations in the US, Austria, Great Britain, and Poland report a positive development. With regard to Germany, a downward trend in the business development was reported, particularly due to the insolvency of NIKI's parent company Air Berlin.

In Turkey revenue showed a substantial increase by 28.5% in the local currency (Turkish lira), particularly due to the favourable development of passenger numbers at Turkish Airlines. In the consolidated income statement, DO & CO reports a decline in revenue of -2.9% due to the depreciation of the Turkish lira against the euro.

DO & CO and Austrian Airlines will continue their long-standing partnership. Once again, DO & CO emerged as the best bidder in an international tendering procedure. The new contract commences on 1 January 2019 and was concluded for a period of three years, including an option to extend the contract for a further three years.

Together with its joint venture Versilia Solutions Ltd. founded in 2016, DO & CO will keep its focus on developing buy-on-board solutions for airline catering, with the expansion continuing to go forward. A favourable development is the re-acquisition of Laudamotion ex Vienna (former NIKI) as of 1 June 2018. In the winter flight plan, up to eight airplanes will be based in Vienna. Additionally, LEVEL was acquired as a new customer, with catering services ex Vienna commencing in mid-July 2018.

In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019, DO & CO also successfully extended the catering contract with LOT Polish Airlines at the Polish locations by a further five years and nine months.

In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019, seven Formula 1 grand prix races took place. The VIP guests enjoyed DO & CO catering at its best in Bahrain, Shanghai, Baku, Barcelona, Monaco, Montreal and Le Castellet.

Moreover, the DO & CO event team was once again in charge of the catering to VIP guests and the tennis players themselves at the ATP Tennis Masters Series in Madrid. A further highlight was the UEFA Champions League final held at the NSK Olimpijskyj stadium in Kiev, with DO & CO being responsible for the culinary delights. This was already the thirteenth Champions League final catered for by DO & CO for UEFA.

Since mid-August 2017, DO & CO has also been responsible for the stadium catering of Juventus Turin Football Club. In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019, DO & CO hosted the stadium catering of the traditional Turin football club at six Serie A matches (the top division in Italian professional football), one Champions League match as well as one match in the national cup competition.

The Olympic Park in Munich and Arena One Gastronomie GmbH, a company pertaining to the DO & CO Group, are continuing their successful cooperation. In a tendering procedure, the bidding consortium "Arena One Gastronomie GmbH and DO & CO München GmbH" was awarded the contract to cater for guests and visitors at the Munich Olympic Park. The new contract commences on 1 January 2019 and is concluded for a minimum period of five years.

3. Outlook

With its diverse distribution facilities, a broad brand portfolio and activities in numerous regions, DO & CO is in an excellent position to face challenging market conditions and expects good development opportunities also in the future.

In detail it can be reported as follows:

LOS ANGELES / US

After Lufthansa at New York JFK and the extension of the cooperation with Austrian Airlines, SWISS was acquired as a customer for the first time as well. Starting at the beginning of July 2018, daily catering services will be provided to SWISS on one daily flight from Los Angeles to Zurich. Cooperation with the Lufthansa Group is therefore being further intensified. With Emirates, Cathay Pacific and SWISS, DO & CO now has three customers at the newly opened location in Los Angeles.

Also noteworthy is the IAG North America tender, comprising all catering services for all British Airways, Iberia and Aer Lingus flights ex North America. In North America, DO & CO provides catering services at the New York John F. Kennedy Airport, Chicago O'Hare and Los Angeles locations. A decision is expected to be made in mid-September 2018.

SEOUL / KOREA

Moreover, it is to be reported that British Airways was acquired as a new customer with a daily flight from Seoul / Korea starting in December 2018.

TURKEY

Currently, negotiations with Turkish Airlines regarding the rendering of catering services at the new airport in Istanbul as well as all other airports in Turkey are taking place.

LARGE INTERNATIONAL AIRLINE CATERING TENDERS

In addition to DO & CO regularly participating in tenders for individual customers at various locations, two large international tenders for "homebase caterers" are currently in progress. Both British Airways and Iberia are tendering the catering at the London Heathrow and London Gatwick as well as Madrid Barajas locations as of 2020. A decision is expected to be made in autumn 2018.

INTERNATIONAL EVENT CATERING TENDERS

DO & CO is currently participating in tendering procedures for the UEFA Champions League finals in 2019, 2020 and 2021 as well as in a tendering procedure for parts of UEFA EURO 2020 with regard to hospitality services and catering. A decision is also expected to be made in the coming weeks.

NEW ACQUISITIONS

As in previous quarters, DO & CO continues to evaluate 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.

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 2018/2019 (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 2018/2019, and in accordance with uniform group-wide accounting principles set out by the parent company.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 June 2018 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 2018.

Unless otherwise stated, the interim consolidated financial statements were prepared in millions of euros (m€), figures in the notes are also presented 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 2018 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 2018.

For further information on the accounting and valuation methods applied, we refer to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2018 that form the basis of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of the business year 2018/2019 the following new or amended standards and interpretations become effective. A voluntary early adoption did not take place.

IFRS 9 Financial Instruments

IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments" was applied for the first time at 1 April 2018.

The table below shows the previous measurement category and the carrying amount determined pursuant to IAS 39, as well as the new measurement category and the carrying amount determined pursuant to IFRS 9 at the time the standard was applied for the first time. The table shows that the implementation does not have a significant impact.

AC: financial assets measured at amortised cost

AfS: Available-for-Sale Financial Assets

FLAC: financial liabilities measured at amortised cost

FVTPL: financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss

LaR: Loans and Receivables

In accordance with the measurement category under IFRS 9, investments and securities are stated at fair value through profit or loss. The option to state investments directly in equity upon initial recognition was not used.

The remaining financial assets fulfil the requirement that only interest payments and redemptions exist and are therefore measured at cost.

Moreover, the Group prepared a model to systematically record expected impairment losses. Applying this model, the expected impairment loss at the implementation date 1 April 2018 amounted to € 0.28m, demonstrating that the required adjustments are of minor extent.

IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers

IFRS 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" was applied for the first time at 1 April 2018.

DO & CO assessed the impact the application of IFRS 15 may have on its financial situation and performance. The main customer contracts from all business segments and divisions were analysed with regard to separate performance obligations and to the possible deferral of revenue. The Airline Catering, International Event Catering and Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel divisions are not significantly affected by the separation of performance obligations. Contrary to the Airline Catering and Restaurant, Lounges & Hotel divisions, more than one performance obligation was identified in the International Event Catering division: (1.) catering services, and (2.) infrastructure services. In this division, the contract for providing services at several motor sport races was additionally analysed in detail with the quantitative impact in mind. Due to pricing, no allocations are required.

Due to the timing of the race days and the subsequent incoming payments, contract assets can only arise in the first half of the business year of the DO & CO Group, with its values insignificant from the perspective of the Group. As there would be no more contract assets at the end of the business year, from the DO & CO Group's perspective no material implementation effects arising from IFRS 15 exist. The Group will continuously evaluate the contractual arrangements in all divisions so as to determine whether any adjustments become necessary.

IFRS 16 Leases

The accounting standard IFRS 16 "Leases", issued in January 2016, replaces the previous IAS 17 "Leases" as well as the corresponding interpretations. It introduces a single lease accounting model for lessees that will no longer differentiate between operating lease and finance lease but requires right-of-use assets and lease liabilities to be recognised for all lease agreements. IFRS 16 provides exceptions for short-term leases and assets of low value. There will only be minor changes for lessors compared to the accounting under IAS 17 as they still differentiate between operating leases and finance leases.

With regard to IFRS 16, the evaluation and analysis of the contracts pertaining to all Group companies has been completed and a Group-wide overview of all lease agreements prepared. Based on the analysed contracts, the main focus will be on real estate leasing and subleases, if any, including the corresponding issues (determining the term of the lease, treatment of leased fixtures, determining the underlying interest rate). The possibility of not capitalising a right-ofuse asset due to short-term leases or leases where the underlying asset is of low value is still being analysed.

DO & CO currently deals with the technical implementation of the new leases standard into the system.

Since the minimum lease payments due on the reporting date 31 March 2018 under uncancellable operating leases amount to € 158.79m (see consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2018 Section 7.2. Contingencies and financial liabilities), a material extension of the statement of financial position with regard to assets and liabilities is expected as a result of the first-time application of IFRS 16. At present, no information can be provided as to the amount because the analyses of the above stated relief provisions and the provision related to the incremental borrowing rate have not yet been completed.

Rental and lease expenses from operating leases are shown under Other operating expenses in the consolidated income statement. When applying IFRS 16, the rights of use are capitalised and recognised in the item Amortisation / depreciation and effects from impairment tests over the term of the lease. In addition, part of the cash flow from operating activities is now shown under the cash flow from financing activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows, since the redemption of lease liabilities is to be reported as cash flow from financing activities.

DO & CO plans to apply IFRS 16 for the first time at 1 April 2019, using the modified retrospective approach.

IFRS 4, Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle, IFRS 2, IAS 40, IFRIC 22

No or no material impact on the consolidated financial statements is expected when applying the new or amended standards IFRS 4 (Applying IFRS 9 Financial Instruments with IFRS 4 Insurance Contracts), the amendments and clarifications issued in the course of the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2014-2016 Cycle with regard to IFRS 1 (First Time Adoption of IFRS) and IAS 28 (Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures), as well as the amendments to IFRS 2 (Classification and Measurement of Share-based Payment Transactions), to IAS 40 (Transfers of Investment Property) and IFRIC 22 Foreign Currency Transactions and Advance Considerations.

1.3. Scope of consolidation

Compared to 31 March 2018 there were no changes in the scope of consolidation.

1.4. Seasonality

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

2. Comments on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position

2.1. Shareholders' equity

By resolution of the 20th General Meeting of Shareholders of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft held on 12 July 2018, a dividend of € 0.85 per dividend-bearing share for the business year 2017/2018 was approved. The dividend was paid out on 30 July 2018.

Moreover, the Management Board was authorised in the course of this General Meeting of Shareholders to increase the share capital from the current nominal amount of € 19,488,000 by up to a further € 2,000,000 through the issuance of up to 1,000,000 new no-par value bearer shares. After the respective increase(s), this corresponds to a proportion of share capital of up to (rounded) 9.31%.

3. Comments on the Consolidated Income Statement
