In the first half of the business year 2019/2020, revenue of the Airline Catering division grew by € 56.82m from € 305.06m to € 361.88m. This represents an increase of 18.6%. The Airline Catering division's revenue produced 71.3% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 70.3%).

Almost all DO & CO locations report increases in revenue. It is particularly the locations in Turkey, Great Britain, the US, Austria, Poland and Ukraine that report a positive development.

In the first half of the business year 2019/2020, revenue of the International Event Catering division rose by € 7.65m from € 70.43m to € 78.08m. This represents an increase of 10.9%. The International Event Catering division's revenue produced 15.4% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 16.2%).

In the first half of the business year 2019/2020, revenue of the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division increased by € 9.47m from € 58.42m to € 67.89m. This represents an increase of 16.2%. The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotel division's revenue produced 13.4% of the Group's overall revenue (PY: 13.5%).

2.2. Result

DO & CO applies the new standard IFRS 16 Leases for the first time as of 1 April 2019, resulting in material shifts in the consolidated income statement.

As lessee, DO & CO recognises a lease liability and a right-of-use asset as of the time the leased asset has been provided to DO & CO. This results in higher amounts of amortisation/depreciation/impairment and interest expenses in the consolidated income statement. On the other hand, rental expenses decrease. For reasons of comparability, the results from the first half of the business year 2019/2020 are also presented excluding the effects of IFRS 16 on group and division level.

Below, a detailed account is given on the impact as well as the first half of the business year 2019/2020 excl. IFRS 16:

Other operating income amounts to € 6.86m (PY: € 5.56m). This represents an increase of € +1.30m.

In absolute figures, cost of materials increased by € 26.90m (14.4%), from € 187.19m to € 214.08m, at a revenue increase rate of 17.0%. Cost of materials as a proportion of revenue thus decreased slightly from 43.1% to 42.2%.

Personnel expenses in absolute figures increased to € 164.80m in the first half of the business year 2019/2020 (PY: € 140.98m). The personnel expenses as a proportion of revenue is 32.5% (PY: 32.5%).

Other operating expenses show an increase of € 4.79m or 6.8%. Accordingly, other operating expenses made up 14.8% of revenue (PY: 16.3%).

The result of investments accounted for using the equity method amounts to € 0.18m in the first half of the business year 2019/2020 (PY: € 1.62m).

The EBITDA margin was 12.0% in the first half of the business year 2019/2020 (PY: 9.8%). The EBITDA margin exclusive IFRS 16 effect was 9,2% in the first half year of the business year 2019/2020 (PY: 9.8%). The reduction in the EBITDA margin is primarily attributable to one-off legal and consulting fees for M & A projects in the amount of approximately € 2.5m. Adjusted by these effects the EBITDA margin remains almost on previous year's level.

In the first half of the business year 2019/2020, amortisation/depreciation and effects from impairment tests amounted to € 26.26m, representing a significant increase on the previous year (PY: € 14.84m). The reason for this significant increase is the first-time application of IFRS 16.

The EBIT margin was 6.8% in the first half of the business year 2019/2020 (PY: 6.4%).

The financial result declined from € -1.36m to € -5.54m in the first half of the business year 2019/2020. The financing expenses mainly comprise interest expenses related to IFRS 16 and interest for the corporate bond placed at the beginning of 2014.

Income tax amounts to € 6.87m for the first half of the business year 2019/2020 (PY: € 6.78m), representing an increase by € 0.09m. The tax ratio (taxes as a proportion of untaxed income) was 23.8% in the first half of the business year 2019/2020 (PY: 25.9%).

For the first half of the business year 2019/2020, the Group achieved a profit after income tax of € 22.04m, an increase of € 2.61m on the same period of the previous year. This means an increase of 13.4% of the profit after income tax on the previous year. € 7.08m (PY: € 3.47m) 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 € 14.95m (PY: € 15.96m). Earnings per share thus amount to € 1.53 (PY: € 1.64). The net result margin amounts to 2.9% in the first half of the business year 2019/2020 (PY: 3.7%).

2.3. Statement of financial position

The first-time application of IFRS 16 Leases has a material impact on various items in the statement of financial position. Total assets increased from € 588.51m as of 31 March 2019 to € 788.52m as of 30 September 2019. On the one hand, property, plant and equipment increased from € 192.93m as of 31 March 2019 to € 352.98m as of 30 September 2019. On the other hand, non-current financial liabilities increased to € 124.09m and current financial liabilities from € 24.50m as of 31 March 2019 to € 68.30m as of 30 September 2019. The Group's equity amounts to € 267.71m as of 30 September 2019. The equity ratio thus is 34.0% as of 30 September 2019 (31 March 2019: 42.4%), adjusted by IFRS 16 the equity ratio as of 30 September 2019 is 41.8%.

2.4. Employees

The average number of staff (full-time equivalent) in the first half of the business year 2019/2020 was 11,179 (PY: 9,773 employees).

Almost all DO & CO locations report increases in revenue. It is particularly the locations in Turkey,
Great Britain, the US, Poland and Ukraine that report a positive development.
The preparations for the takeover of the entire catering services for British Airways at London
Heathrow are in full swing. After the successful takeover of further flights in December 2018,
DO & CO took over catering services for another six British Airways destinations ex London

The preparations for the takeover of the entire catering services for British Airways at London Heathrow are in full swing. After the successful takeover of further flights in December 2018, DO & CO took over catering services for another six British Airways destinations ex London Heathrow between April and June 2019. In this context, DO & CO is building one of the most modern and largest gourmet kitchens in Europe with an area of more than 30,000 sqm in London.

Towards the end of the business year 2018/2019, DO & CO was able to acquire Singapore Airlines as a new customer in Düsseldorf and Munich. Since July and August 2019, Singapore Airlines has been provided with catering services on four flights per week ex Düsseldorf and one daily flight ex Munich, respectively.

Another pleasing development is that the cooperation with Cathay Pacific is being intensified. Since the beginning of May 2019, DO & CO has provided catering services for six daily flights ex London Heathrow and ex London Gatwick.

The new DO & CO gourmet kitchen in Los Angeles has also won another customer with Air Italy (four flights per week) since April 2019.

The reduction in the EBITDA margin is primarily attributable to one-off legal and consulting fees for M & A projects in the amount of approximately € 2.5m.

Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 1st Half Year of 2019/2020

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 2019/2020, and in accordance with group-wide accounting principles set out by the parent company.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2019 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 2019.

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 2019.

For further information on the accounting and valuation methods applied, we refer to the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2019 that form the basis of these condensed interim consolidated financial statements.

The following new and/or amended standards and interpretations became effective in the first half of the business year 2019/2020. No standards or interpretations were adopted early on a voluntary basis.

New and amended standards and interpretations

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 for 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.

As lessee, DO & CO recognises a lease liability and a right-of-use asset as of the time the leased asset has been provided to DO & CO. The lease liability is discounted and redeemed by current payments. The right-of-use asset is amortised on a straight line basis over the contract term. This results in an increase in assets and liabilities and therefore in higher amortisation/depreciation/impairment and interest expenses. On the other hand, rental expenses decrease. In the course of the first-time application of IFRS 16, DO & CO has recognised right-of-use assets in the amount of € 131.64m and lease liabilities in the amount of € 127.45m. Thereof, € 122.84m of right-of-use assets relate to real estate. The remaining € 8.79m relate to other property, plant and equipment. EBITDA (€ +13.83m) and EBIT (€ +2.18m) improved in the course of application of IFRS 16. The net result, however, decreased by € -0.69m. DO & CO uses the modified retrospective approach for the first-time application as of 1 April 2019. Prior-year figures have therefore not been adjusted. DO & CO uses the options not to apply the provisions of IFRS 16 on the recognition of short-term leases (with a term of less than one year) and low-value leased assets (replacement value up to an amount of approximately € 5,000). For lease liabilities recognised for the first time as of 1 April 2019, country-specific interest rates between 0.5% and 18.17% were applied.

The first-time application of IFRS 16 as of 1 April 2019 has the following impact on the consolidated statement of financial position:

31 March 2019 Adjustment IFRS 16 1 April 2019
Property, plant and equipment 192.93 127.46 320.40
Other current non-financial assets 30.34 0.01 30.35
Other current liabilities 16.09 -0.01 16.08
Other non-current financial liabilities 0.00 108.19 108.19
Other current financial liabilities 24.50 19.26 43.76

The following table shows the reconciliation of the minimum lease payments as of 31 March 2019 and the lease liability reported on 1 April 2019:

1.4. Seasonality

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. Property, plant and equipment

The increase in property, plant and equipment is mainly due to the first-time application of IFRS 16.

2.2. Shareholders' equity

By resolution of the 21st General Meeting of Shareholders of DO & CO Aktiengesellschaft held on 18 July 2019, a dividend of € 0.85 per dividend-bearing share for the business year 2018/2019 was approved. The dividend was paid out on 5 August 2019.

In this General Meeting of Shareholders, the Management Board was authorised to acquire own shares (on exchange/off exchange) up to a maximum amount of 10% of the nominal capital, even under the exclusion of the right to sell on a pro rata basis which may be associated with such an acquisition (exclusion of reverse subscription rights). Moreover, the Management Board was authorised to resolve on the disposal or use of own shares by means other than sale through the stock exchange or by means of a public offer, applying the provisions on the exclusion of subscription rights of shareholders by analogy, as well as to decrease the share capital by withdrawing these own shares without further resolution of the General Meeting of Shareholders.

2.3. Other financial liabilities (current/non-current)

The increase in these items is mainly due to the first-time application of IFRS 16.

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 2019 to 30 September 2019. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2019, the condensed consolidated income statement, the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and the condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the period from 1 April 2019 to 30 September 2019 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 interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with the 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 legal provisions and the relevant expert opinions and standards applicable in Austria, 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 Performed 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. 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 by the legal representatives pursuant to Section 125 BörseG 2018

We have read the group management report for the half year as of 30 September 2019 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 by the legal representatives required by Section 125 (1) No. 3 Austrian Stock Exchange Act (BörseG) 2018.
