In the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018, revenue of the Airline Catering division decreased by € -34.86m from € 476.55m to € 441.69m. This represents a reduction of -7.3%. The Airline Catering division's revenue produced 65.8% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 64.7%).

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 first three quarters of the business year 2016/2017, the Airline Catering division would report an increase in revenue of approximately +3.0% on the same period of the previous year.

In the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018, revenue of the International Event Catering division decreased by € -26.24m from € 130.08m to € 103.84m. This represents a reduction of -20.2%. The International Event Catering division's revenue produced 15.5% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 17.6%).

The significant decline in revenue in the International Event Catering division is mainly due to the missing activities during the European football championship compared to the previous year.

In the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018, revenue of the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division decreased by € -4.24m from € 130.45m to € 126.20m. This represents a reduction of -3.3%. The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division's revenue produced 18.8% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 17.7%).

In the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division, particularly lounges and retail business contribute to this decline in revenue.

2.2. Result

Other operating income amounts to € 13.90m (PY: € 12.31m), representing an increase of € +1.59m.

In absolute figures, cost of materials decreased by € -25.03m (-8.0%), from € 313.14m to € 288.10m, at a revenue reduction rate of -8.9%. Cost of materials as a proportion of revenue thus increased slightly from 42.5% to 42.9%.

Personnel expenses in absolute figures decreased from € 240.61m to € 217.69m (-9.5%) in the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018. In relation to revenue, personnel expenses thus slightly decreased from 32.6% to 32.4%.

Other operating expenses show a decrease of € -5.94m or -4.9%. Accordingly, other operating expenses made up 17.0% of revenue (PY: 16.3%).

The result of equity investments accounted for using the equity method amounts to € -0.26m in the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018 (PY: € -2.12m).

The EBITDA margin was 9.7% in the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018 (PY: 9.9%).

In the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018, amortisation/depreciation and effects from impairment tests amounted to € 24.25m, representing a decrease of € -2.03m on the previous year (PY: € 26.28m). This includes an impairment of goodwill in the amount of € 1.64m reported in the Airline Catering division.

The EBIT margin was 6.1% in the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018 (PY: 6.4%).

The financial result for the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018 increased from € -4.73m to € -3.83m. The financial result comprises mainly interest for the corporate bond placed at the beginning of 2014.

Income tax amounts to € 10.37m for the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018 (PY: € 12.05m), representing a decrease by € -1.68m. The tax ratio (taxes as a proportion of untaxed income) was 27.9% in the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018 (PY: 28.5%).

In the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018, the Group achieved a profit after income tax of € 26.86m, a decrease of € -3.40m on the same period of the previous year, thus reflecting a decrease of -11.2% in the profit after income tax in comparison to the previous year. € 7.35m (PY: € 9.17m) 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 € 19.52m (PY: € 21.09m). Earnings per share are therefore € 2.00 (PY: € 2.16). The net result margin was 2.9% in the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018 (PY: 2.9%).

2.3. Statement of financial position

The Group's equity amounts to € 248.52m as of 31 December 2017. The equity ratio thus is 41.2% as of 31 December 2017.

2.4. Employees

In the third quarter of the business year 2017/2018, the successful start-up with Cathay Pacific at the new location in Los Angeles was reported. Since 1 October 2017, DO & CO has handled the catering for Cathay Pacific on 3 to 4 flights per day from Los Angeles to Hong Kong. Reporting up to 75 million passengers, Los Angeles International Airport is the third-largest airport in the US and the seventh-largest airport in the world. In addition to the New York John F. Kennedy Airport and Chicago O'Hare locations, this is now the third DO & CO location in the US.

The major part of DO & CO's locations reports increases in revenue. Particularly the locations in Germany, the US, Poland, Great Britain, and Italy 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.

In Turkey, one of the key markets of DO & CO, revenue decreased by -3.1% in the local currency (Turkish lira). The decrease in revenue translates into a decline of -21.8% 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 due to the missing activities during the European football championship compared to the previous year.

At the beginning of the business year 2017/2018, DO & CO was successful in acquiring Juventus Turin Football Club as a new customer. In the third quarter of the business year 2017/2018, DO & CO was responsible for the stadium catering of this traditional Turin football club, including two Champions League matches as well as six Serie A matches, the top division in Italian professional football, as well as one match of Coppa Italia, the annual national cup competition. Additionally, numerous events took place on non-match days. Taking over the stadium catering marks a significant and important step in the expansion of this business. In addition to Bayern Munich, Red Bull Salzburg and Austria Vienna, Juventus Turin Football Club is the fourth football club to enjoy the culinary treats of DO & CO.

Moreover, in the third quarter of the business year 2017/2018, DO & CO also was the culinary host for VIPs at, i.a.:

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

3. Outlook

Besides the continuous involvement of DO & CO in tenders for individual customers at various DO & CO locations, DO & CO is currently participating in several major tenders in Vienna, in Madrid and especially in London. Decisions are expected to be taken within the next months.

Furthermore, it can be reported that Qatar Airways has intensified the cooperation with DO & CO at two additional locations, Seoul/Korea and Chicago/US.

The rendering of train catering services for the Austrian federal railways (ÖBB) ends on 31 March 2018 as reported.

After the difficult year in Turkey (cost-cutting measures and strong negative currency effects), DO & CO sees itself to be once again in a good position to take on new tasks. The broad brand portfolio and activities in numerous divisions and regions give DO & CO reason to expect a favourable business development also in the future.

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 to 3rd 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 31 December 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 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 31 December 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 three quarters 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.

With regard to the current implementation status of the new accounting standards IFRS 9, IFRS 15 and IFRS 16, based on the remarks on this matter included in the consolidated financial statements for the business year 2016/2017 as well as the quarterly reports for the business year 2017/2018, the following has to be stated.

On the occasion of IFRS 15 being introduced, a detailed analysis of the quantitative effects of motor sport events was carried out in the International Event Catering segment. This analysis showed that the DO & CO Group may only generate contractual assets in the first half of its business year based on the racing day schedule and the payments subsequently received. At the reporting dates of the respective quarters in 2017/2018, these payments amounted to € 0.38m and € 0.54m, respectively. From the DO & CO Group's point of view, these payments do not necessarily represent significant amounts received, which is why no transition effects from the first-time application of IFRS 15 are to be expected.

With regard to IFRS 16, the evaluation and analysis of the agreements concerning the Austrian group companies was completed. This process is soon going to be expanded to cover the remaining group companies, resulting in a group-wide overview of all existing lease agreements. Taking the agreements analysed in Austria and available information on the other companies as a basis, the focus will be on the lease of real estate and on subleases, if any, as well as on associated issues (determination of the lease period, treatment of tenant fixtures, determination of the underlying interest rate). Further information is not available at the present state of the project.

Referring to IFRS 9, the existing financial instruments were analysed with a view to determine whether a significant transition effect might arise from the classification. No significant effect is expected, since the Group holds equity in other companies only to a minor extent that are to be measured only at fair value in the future. The model used to systematically determine expected credit losses has not yet reached the final phase, particularly with regard to an appropriate segmentation (country risks, currencies, etc.) of the receivables pool within the Group. We still expect the required adjustments to be minor.

1.3. Scope of consolidation

The following companies founded by DO & CO were consolidated for the first time in the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018:

  • Hédiard Foncière SAS (100%)
  • Hédiard Restauration en Vol SAS (100%)

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.

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. The dividend was paid out on 14 August 2017.

Furthermore, the management board was authorised to acquire own shares (on the stock exchange/OTC) up to a maximum of 10% of the share capital.

3. Comments on the Consolidated Income Statement

3.1. Revenue

One reason for the decline in revenue in the Airline Catering division is the significant loss in value of the Turkish lira against the Euro. Furthermore, Turkish DO & CO initiated a costcutting programme for its main customer Turkish Airlines in the previous business year 2016/2017, resulting in a corresponding reduction of revenue. 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.

3.2. Other operating income

Miscellaneous other operating income 7.30 5.77 1.65 2.06

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

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

In the first three quarters of the business year 2017/2018, € 0.55m in proportionate losses were recorded off-balance sheet.

In the second quarter of the business year 2017/2018, an impairment in the amount of € 1.64m was recognised due to the impairment test carried out for the goodwill of Mazlum Ambalaj Sanayi ve Dış Ticaret A.Ş. In doing so, goodwill was fully impaired. The impairment is included in the Airline Catering segment and was due to the current revenue situation as well as the revenue forecasts derived from this situation. It was reported in the income statement under the position amortisation/depreciation and effects from impairment tests.
