After reporting the highest quarterly revenue in the history of DO & CO with € 228.31m in the first quarter, a further significant increase was achieved in the second quarter with revenue of € 378.85m. Therefore, with revenue of € 667.16m (PY: € 286.02m), the first half of the business year 2022/23 is by far the strongest half-year in terms of revenue in the Company's history.

The recovery from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic that started in the previous business year has continued in the first half of the business year 2022/2023. DO & CO has benefited from an increase in demand across all divisions and at € 378.85m reported the strongest quarter in terms of revenue in its history despite the continuing depreciation of the Turkish lira. Exchange rate fluctuations against the euro compared to the first half of the business year 2021/2022 resulted in a negative effect on Group revenue in the amount of € 131.95m, which was primarily due to the decline of the Turkish lira. Since a significant portion of costs in the Turkish subsidiaries is incurred in the local currency, the margins have largely remained unaffected by this development.

The result of the first half of the business year 2022/2023 was strongly affected by the application of the provisions of IAS 29 "Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies" to the financial statements of the Turkish subsidiaries. At € 19.98m, the net result would have been € 5.94m higher without applying IAS 29. As regards the result, the positive trend of the previous quarters has continued. Despite the strain resulting from the depreciation of the Turkish lira, at € 205.06m the Company again reports a high amount of cash and cash equivalents in the first half of the business year 2022/2023.

2.1. Revenue

In the first half of the business year 2022/2023, the DO & CO Group recorded revenue in the amount of € 667.16m. This constitutes an increase in revenue by 133.3% or € 381.14m as compared to the same period of the previous year.

Other operating income amounts to € 7.88m (PY: € 18.66m). This constitutes a decrease by € 10.78m which is mainly due to high government support measures in the first half of the previous business year.

In absolute figures, cost of materials increased by € 174.41m (170.5%), from € 102.31m to € 276.72m, at a revenue increase rate of 133.3%. Cost of materials as a proportion of revenue thus increased from 35.8% to 41.5%.

Personnel expenses in absolute figures increased to € 232.75m in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 (PY: € 100.53m). Personnel expenses as a proportion of revenue are 34.9% (PY: 35.1%).

Other operating expenses increased in the first half of the business year by € 45.61m or 85.6%. Accordingly, other operating expenses made up 14.8% of revenue (PY: 18.6%).

The result of investments accounted for using the equity method amounts to € 0.79m in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 (PY: € 0.20m).

The EBITDA margin was 10.1% in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 (PY: 17.0%).

In the first half of the business year 2022/2023, amortisation/depreciation and effects from impairment tests amounted to € 29.14m, representing an increase on the previous year (PY: € 25.52m).

The EBIT margin was 5.7% in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 (PY: 8.1%).

The financial result declined from € -9.94m to € -16.55m in the first half of the business year 2022/2023. The financing expenses contain interest expenses relating to IFRS 16 and interest for loans taken out and for the convertible bonds placed at the beginning of 2021. Moreover, this position also includes the result related to the net monetary position in connection with IAS 29.

Income tax amounts to € -6.34m for the first half of the business year 2022/2023 (PY: € -4.23m), representing a change of € -2.11m. The tax ratio (tax expense as a proportion of untaxed income) was 29.1% in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 (PY: 31.8%). The high tax rate is due in particular to the application of the provisions of IAS 29.

For the first half of the business year 2022/2023, the Group achieved a profit after income tax of € 15.45m, an increase of € 6.39m on the same period of the previous year. € 1.41m (PY: € 1.27m) 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 € 14.04m (PY: € 7.79m). Earnings per share thus amount to € 1.44 (PY: € 0.80). The net result margin amounts to 2.1% in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 (PY: 2.7%).

2.3. Statement of financial position

In addition to adjustments in the consolidated income statement, accounting pursuant to IAS 29 "Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies" also results in impacts on the consolidated statement of financial position for the subsidiaries using the Turkish lira as their functional currency. Non-current assets increase by € 13.51m compared to the statement of financial position as of 30 September 2022 prior to application of IAS 29, mainly due to the indexation of property, plant and equipment as well as the investment property. Moreover, in particular the indexation of inventories results in an increase of current assets by € 2.28m. The increase in total assets by € 15.79m is reflected by an increase in the consolidated equity by € 15.21m on the equity and liabilities side. In addition, the indexation of assets results in deferred tax liabilities in the amount of € 0.58m.

The Group's equity amounts to € 180.29m as of 30 September 2022. The equity ratio thus is 17.8% as of 30 September 2022 (31 March 2022: 15.6%).

2.4. Employees

The average number of staff (full-time equivalent) in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 was 11,206 (31 March 2022: 8,460).

The Airline Catering division can look back on a strong first half of the business year 2022/2023. With revenue of € 507.16m, the Airline Catering division reports the strongest half year in terms of revenue in the Company's history. This performance is a significant milestone for DO & CO, and especially welcome given the current difficult market environment. Although demand for international air traffic has increased, enabling development and expansion of customer relations, it should still be noted that the entire Airline Catering market has, at best, only reached 70% of pre-crisis levels.

In the US, the establishment of the new location in Miami is underway. A property of about 20,000m2 is available and will initially be used as logistics hub for the Event Catering activities in North, Central and South America. The gourmet kitchen will commence operations towards the end of the current business year. This is the sixth location in the US, following New York-JFK, Chicago, Boston, Detroit and Los Angeles.

In addition to Miami, business activities in New York were also expanded. Since May 2022, DO & CO has been providing catering services on all Etihad Airways flights ex New York-JFK and now ex Los Angeles as well. In addition, it was possible to win Air Premia as a customer at the location Los Angeles.

Moreover, DO & CO is pleased to have won KLM Royal Dutch Airlines as customer at the high frequency locations in New York-JFK, Chicago and Los Angeles for the first time.

In London Heathrow, British Airways has decided to also offer freshly prepared DO & CO meals, which had previously been sourced as frozen products via a third-party supplier, on its economy class long-haul flights. This way, regional raw materials fresh from the market are used as far as possible, and carbon emissions are strongly reduced as long transport routes for individual ingredients of the meals are avoided and the frozen meals are no longer stuck in long supply chains. In this context, DO & CO of course does not use any preservatives or flavour enhancers in the economy class meals that are freshly produced on a daily basis. This also ensures that the capacities of the new gourmet kitchen at London Heathrow will be much better utilised in the coming years.

A favourable development is the strengthening of the partnership with Qatar Airways and Oman Air. DO & CO has won the tenders for both airlines at London Heathrow.

Despite the unfavourable market environment, the Airline Catering division generated a massive increase in revenue of 143.3% as compared to the previous year. Revenue in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 amounts to € 507.16m (PY: € 208.46m). At € 52.45m, EBITDA is € 14.11m higher than the figure of the same period of the previous year. EBIT amounts to € 29.77m (PY: € 18.97m). The result of the Airline Catering division in the first half of the business year 2022/2023 has been strongly affected by application of the provisions of IAS 29 "Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies" to the financial statements of the Turkish subsidiaries. At € 54.46m, the EBITDA would have been € 2.02m higher without applying IAS 29. At € 33.90m, EBIT would have been even € 4.13m higher.

After a long pause due to the pandemic, a continuously strong increase has been recorded in the International Event Catering division. Major sports and cultural events now take place in the same way as before the pandemic.

For the 16th time, DO & CO was contracted to cater for guests at the UEFA Champions League final, one of the world's most important football events. This year required particular flexibility and adaptability as the final was relocated from St. Petersburg to the Stade de France in Paris at short-notice. DO & CO was once again able to prove its quality as a reliable and flexible partner at international major events and catered to approximately 5,000 VIP guests in its usual superior quality.

On the same weekend, the Formula 1 race in Monaco also took place, demonstrating DO & CO's ability to adapt to the great demand on the market. Both major events were exceptionally well received by the customers.

With 22 races in 20 countries, the new Formula 1 season 2022 is experiencing huge interest and a strong global customer demand. A new, innovative and customised hospitality concept by DO & CO is already being implemented. Together with Formula 1, DO & CO is continuously working on further development of a unique "money can't buy experience".

Furthermore, DO & CO is pleased to announce that the Paddock Club in Miami will be operated by DO & CO for the next five years, starting with the upcoming 2023 Formula 1 season.

A further event this year in May was the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Madrid featuring the world's leading tennis players. DO & CO again created a unique hospitality concept for the event, which was well received by guests, sponsors and players. With 34,000 guests over 10 days, this fantastic event saw catering services provided to more guests than ever.

Bayern Munich's Allianz Arena, where capacity restrictions were lifted from April 2022, has hosted nine football matches, including the Champions League match against FC Barcelona with up to 75,000 guests. Moreover, DO & CO provided catering at several major concerts in Munich Olympic Park. These included, among others, shows by "The Rolling Stones" and "Guns n' Roses" with up to 70,000 guests each, as well as the two-day music festival Superbloom with 100,000 guests and the 11-day European Championships with 1.47m guests.

In the first half of the business year 2022/2023, revenue in the International Event Catering division increased by 104.4% on the previous year to € 99.60m (PY: € 48.73m). At € 10.22m, EBITDA is € 0.71m lower than the figure for the same period of the previous year. EBIT amounts to € 7.88m (PY: € 8.45m). The reduction in EBITDA and EBIT compared to the prior year mainly results from COVID-19 support measures in the previous year.

2.7. Restaurants, Lounges & Hotels

The Restaurants, Lounges & Hotels division is the heart of the DO & CO Group, serving as the basis for the DO & CO Group's innovation activities. In addition, the activities in this division are the benchmark for best quality, training, branding and the standard bearer of the Group. The division is made up of the units Restaurants, Demel Café, Lounges, Hotels, Employee Restaurants, Gourmet Retail, Delivery Services and Airport Dining.

The DO & CO boutique hotel in Munich, which shares the same building as FC Bayern World and has one of the best locations in Munich in the immediate vicinity of Marienplatz, has already had excellent occupancy rates.

At Vienna Airport, DO & CO was able to reopen restaurants and shops at the redesigned terminal 2 at the end of March 2022, after a break of two years. Since the partnership with Vienna Airport has lasted for ten years, it is of particular concern to DO & CO to continue to foster this partnership in the future.

Also in this division revenue was increased significantly compared to the previous year.

3. Outlook

All business divisions are experiencing continued high demand.

Due to its exceptional agility, DO & CO was able to further strengthen its market position in the Airline Catering division even during the pandemic. As a reliable and experienced partner, the Company demonstrated its flexibility to constantly changing market conditions. Demand in the aviation division is especially high, as new customers have been acquired in the current business year and aviation in general has gathered pace since Covid-19 restrictions were lifted.

DO & CO has taken over catering management for Qatar Airways in Doha and is especially proud that the best airline in the world has chosen DO & CO as partner. In 2022, Qatar Airways became the first and only airline globally to be recognised with the "The World's Best Airline" award by Skytrax for the seventh time. Since November 1st, Flights ex Doha have offered menus by DO & CO.

The customers of the International Event Catering division are both loyal and high-profile. This year DO & CO will again provide catering at the highest level at exclusive events such as the ATP-Tennis Erste Bank Open in Vienna or the globally renowned ski race in Kitzbühel. The partnership with Formula 1 has been further extended in the current business year. After the races in Montreal, Zandvoort and Monza, the second half of the year will see the United States and Mexican Grand Prix races as well as the season finale in Abu Dhabi. Moreover, the Company was able to win international tenders and therefore constantly expand its customer base. In that regard, DO & CO is delighted to be, for the first time, FIFA's "Gourmet Entertainment Partner" for the World Cup in Qatar, which will take place immediately after the Formula 1 season finale in Abu Dhabi. The DO & CO team has repeatedly demonstrated the top organisational performance it is able to provide. In the course of only 29 days, DO & CO will cater for VIPs and VVIPs at all 64 games in 8 stadiums at the world's largest sporting event.

After a long pause due to the pandemic, people are especially happy to be able to go out. Hotels and restaurants are buzzing as a result. Demand in Gourmet Retail is similarly gratifying. The upcoming holidays in the Advent and Christmas season mean that further increases in revenue are anticipated in the Restaurants, Lounges & Hotels division.

DO & CO is proactively tackling current challenges such as rising prices for raw materials and energy. Price increases have already been implemented in numerous areas, as the Company has strong long-term relationships with its customers. Therefore, DO & CO's management is optimistic that it will be feasible to pass on the majority of the cost increases that lie beyond the Company's control.

The pandemic has left its mark on the labour market, leaving the Hospitality sector with a smaller pool of qualified personnel. DO & CO identified this challenge early on and reacted by establishing new company-wide flexible working time models. Moreover, framework conditions have been updated and adapted to employee needs, enabling the Company to succeed in acquiring numerous new hires. DO & CO constantly strives to react to new developments in the labour market and to actively shape the labour market as a pioneer within the industry. Offering excellent remuneration, high flexibility, diverse career opportunities and a focus on people, DO & CO aims to be the industry's best employer.

Successful further development of the business model in challenging times depends on a consistently proactive Management, innovation, high product quality, and well-qualified employees. The Company continues to participate in large tenders, especially in the Airline Catering sector. DO & CO's management is confident that it will be possible to continue the successful path of recent quarters.

Condensed Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the 1st Half Year of 2022/2023

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 & Hotels.

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 2022/2023, and in accordance with group-wide accounting principles set out by the parent company.

The interim consolidated financial statements as of 30 September 2022 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 2022.

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€). All amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and in the disclosures to the notes to the consolidated financial statement are rounded to the nearest ten thousand, unless otherwise indicated. 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

As of the first quarter of the business year 2022/2023, DO & CO has taken provisions pursuant to IAS 29 "Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies" into account when including subsidiaries with the Turkish lira as their functional currency in the consolidated financial statements.

In this context, the financial statements of those subsidiaries are adjusted in a way that reflects the changes in the purchasing power of the Turkish lira. Non-monetary items in the statement of financial position measured at amortised cost are adjusted using a price index prior to conversion to the group currency. Monetary items in the statement of financial position are not indexed. Moreover, all items in the income statement, the statement of comprehensive income and the statement of changes in equity are also adjusted. Gains and losses related to the net position of the monetary items are presented as separate items in the financial result of the income statement.

All items in the statement of financial position as well as the income statement and the statement of comprehensive income are subsequently translated into the group currency using the closing rate. All differences resulting from the indexing and currency translation are reported without affecting profit or loss in the reserve for currency translation in other comprehensive income.

All financial statements of the subsidiaries using the Turkish lira as their functional currency are based on the historical cost approach. The consumer price indices published by the Turkish Statistical Institute (Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu) are used for indexing. The price index as of 30 September 2022 (2003=100) amounted to 1046.89 (31 March 2022: 843.64).

Due to the adjustment of non-monetary items, total assets of the DO & CO Group increase by € 15.79m as of 30 September 2022. This primarily results from the indexation of property, plant and equipment (€ 10.16m) and the investment property (€ 3.38m) as well as the indexation of inventories (€ 2.17m). On the equity and liabilities side, the consolidated equity increases by € 15.21m, of which €6.20m relates to non-controlling interests, deferred tax liabilities increase by € 0.58m.

The net position of monetary items results in a loss in the amount of € 7.39m in the first half of the business year 2022/2023. Moreover, applying IAS 29, has an impact particularly on the items cost of materials and depreciation. In the first half of the business year, cost of materials increases by € 7.77m in absolute terms and depreciation by € 2.31m. In the first half of the business year 2022/2023, the application of IAS 29 results in a reduction of the result after income tax in the amount of € 10.95m of which € 5.01m is allocated to non-controlling interests.

The reserve for currency translation stated under other comprehensive income includes adjustments from the indexation pursuant to IAS 29 in the amount of € 26.17m in the first half of the business year 2022/2023. € 11.21m thereof is allocated to non-controlling interests.

Moreover, the accounting and valuation methods applied in the course of the preparation of these interim consolidated financial statements correspond to those used in the consolidated financial statements as of 31 March 2022.

No new and/or amended standards or interpretations with an impact on the Group's assets and liabilities, financial situation and results of operations became effective in the first half of the business year 2022/2023. No standards or interpretations were adopted early on a voluntary basis.

1.4. Scope of consolidation

DO & CO Events USA, Inc. founded by DO & CO was consolidated for the first time with effect as of 30 September 2022.

1.5. Seasonality and economic influences

Despite the continuing recovery in the first half of the business year 2022/2023, the general economic and industry-specific economic losses caused by the COVID-19 crisis remain noticeable for the DO & CO Group.

These economic factors and the impact of the COVID-19 crisis in general mean that seasonal influences such as the holiday season play a less significant role compared to reporting periods prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 crisis.

Both earnings figures, EBIT and EBITDA, are of relevance for management with regard to control. Management predominantly focuses on EBIT in respect of resource allocation; EBIT is therefore 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 the segment result. The transfer prices are defined in line with the OECD Guidelines.

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 2022 to 30 September 2022. The condensed interim consolidated financial statements comprise the condensed consolidated statement of financial position as of 30 September 2022, 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 2022 to 30 September 2022 and the notes, which summarise the material accounting principles and comprise 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 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.
